Hi there. Yes you could. But in my experience in the past, that gets messy real fast. Can you imagine sending email blasts to even 30 people and getting feedback from those people and then wanting to dive deeper with a few of them? Not to mention you also need to BCC everyone to protect ppl's privacy. Then all the feedback is all mixed together with the rest of your email. Yes, there's lots of workarounds like using Mail Chimp and setting up email filters and folders. But it gets old really fast. And that's only the data gathering aspect.

The other half of it is to organize the data automatically so that each user's personal story comes through. One way to do that is to get people to register for some blog like tumblr and post to that, but that's a lot of responsibility on your tester and will likely reduce their response rate.

We aim to fix this tradeoff. And we free up your time to actually act on the feedback and insights.

Also, we've got a bunch of ideas to make it richer beyond just emails--lean startup MVP...maybe we were too minimum here?
How do you get 120W? I get 24W.
Unfortunately, the world is still in such a sad state that your above comment could absolutely be construed as your own personal beliefs which is why I asked if you were serious	lest I overreact and turn what would be an otherwise lively debate into uncouth name calling.

But thank you for the definition of the word irony. I wish you a good day.
Didn't some of the old webOS devices have wireless charging as well?
Since the iPhone 5 has neither of those features, it's both possible for this iPhone update to be the "biggest thing to happen to iPhone" and for future updates to also be the "biggest thing to happen to iPhone".

It's a comparison to the state of previous iPhones, not a comparison to the state of all phones on the market.

As a startup founder, you should NOT be paying yourself anywhere near $20k/month - that's why you have equity. If the company does well, you'll make a lot when you get bought or IPO.
Android is removing physical back buttons and iPhone's had the single button work well with the interface since 2007...
SSH and IPv6 come to mind.
While I agree with you overall, I have to nitpick your wording...

Being brain-dead, it is also very unlikely that you feel pain

Very unlikely? This seems like something that should demand complete[0] confidence.

[0]: Ok, ok, maybe not 100% provability, but I want to know more about this surely subjective determination by the doctors. Or is there an automated reading from some machine that can objectively say "Patient is 95% likely to not feel you operating on him alive"?

(Also, this is "deeply interesting" according to HN standards but lots of potential for irrational discourse -- my comment probably included)
$69 is the upfront fee for a 1-year "light utilization", you pay hourly on top of that at $0.039/hour. Note this is half of the $0.080/hour normal price (non-reserved). If you wanted a dedicated (100% utilization) reserved small Linux instance, it would be $195 setup and $11.71/month (total $335/year) vs. non-reserved at $58.56/month (total $702.72/year). Note that the upfront fee is paid each time you renew a term, it's not really a "one-time" fee like with dedicated servers.

>I am old enough to remember the 1960s, and accounts from people who traveled to Afghanistan in the 1960s, and I would like to see more evidence for this extraordinary claim.

Go read some books then. That they had religion and that they didn't had rock n' roll and modern luxuries didn't mean they were not a progressive, tolerant country compared to what it has become today.

It's not about literacy and poor living in villages either. It's about living in a tolerant go-about-your business place and a civil-war/starvation/religious nuts running the show place.
Apple Underwhelms With The iPhone 5. Here's Why The Nokia Lumia 920 Is Better.
Yeah, I would like to see some actual numbers before coming to any conclusion. Something along the lines of the number of people that have recovered from the state wherein they could legally take your organs. Not sure if those numbers would be easy to come by.
Even if you manage to get in without a co-founder, you'll probably still want a co-founder. I've talked to several YC alums without a co-founder looking to hire an employee who can serve as a co-founder.
It may help to reframe the discussion as measures of progress in a direction, not in terms of success and failure. These are all tools to help people manage these overwhelming emotions and keep them as fellow productive humans in society. Neither you nor the strawman-on-the-internet are necessarily wrong, as both of your statements may provide some utility to the depressed person you want to help.
"Communicate with users from an integrated dashboard
Free your inbox. Forget BCC & mail merge." The other two benefits are not so clear to me... "No messy onboarding required." what does that mean?
The people who would be cutting the corners see the people whose lives they're giving up on, but they never meet the people who would be using their organs. Doctors and nurses still make mistakes and get lazy, but I don't think it has anything to do with organ donation.
As the founder of a bootstrapped startup, how do you expect to compete with the enormous employee salaries (which I'd like to point out is mostly due to the cost of living) being offered at other SV companies? Not to mention the various perks, such as insurance, meals, and transportation etc. that many SV companies provide. What about commercial real estate? Even in Sacramento, it's just simply not feasible.
Correct, but NXP, TI (w/ WiLink[1]), Broadcom, Qualcom, Intel,... are shipping similar products.

As someone working in the 'Internet of Things' space, I wasn't so much disappointed with the lack of NFC - as Zigbee/802.15.4. Again, thanks to integrated radios, NFC and Zigbee can be done on the same chip.

The (mass adopted) future will have to wait for another product/hype cycle.

At the risk of offending, I think Sam Harris explains this well.

As I recall he puts it, it is not fundamentalism itself that is the problem. A fundamentalist Jain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism) is far less frightening than your average Jain (not that they are frightening in the least either) because the fundamentals of Jainism are extremely pacifist. As a Jain, the more fundamentalist you become the safer you become. The problem then is what the fundamentals of some fundamentalists are.
Agile is a toolbox of best practices and tricks. You need to use the ones that make sense. That is formalised in methodologies like SCRUM by doing a retrospective after each sprint.

For inexperimented teams, it is a good idea to start with out-of-the-box scrum and remove/replace bits that are not working out for team after a while.

For experimented teams, you just start with just a daily scrum end of day and add bits as you go along. (effectively start with 1 day iteration)
Its funny how picky you get when choosing between these commercials. You should have chosen one of the Galaxy's commercials and it does a great job of explaining everything, too.

Apple is the worst example that you could use. Steve Jobs never wrote single line of code! He didn't solder a single chip into a single iPhone. Nor was he the lead product designer, the lead ad man, or an expert in any field EXCEPT dealing with people. He brought all the people together to form the iPhone teame at Apple, and that was far more instrumental to designing, manufacturing, shipping, and selling iPhones than any technical expertise.
Apple made major updates to the core features that people use every day: brand new maps app, redesigned itunes, updated camera.

Apple understands that hardware is less important than software in the day to day experience of using the phone, they continue to focus on improving the experience of using the device, not the spec sheet. Thats why major hardware changes tend to be battery, screen, and camera: those are the features that most affect the day-to-day experience of the user.

Consumers outside HN aren't going to base a purchase decision on specs, so shiny toys like NFC or wireless charging end up compromising battery life or size, it's probably a pretty easy call for the company to make given the focus on the core experience.
Agreed, in fact it's ironic that they try sooo hard to have 100% uptime, as a small amount of downtime, can be a good thing.

No-one cares if vital utility x is working. It's not like they are texting their friends, about x being 'up'.

But if you take away x, often it highlights just how important it was, and it becomes relevant to them.

It reminds them just how much x, means to them.

Then, if x reacts to the adversity in a crowd pleasing way... instant karma and mindshare.

cf. new coke as well.

This is a string of non sequiturs posing as an argument.
The way to think about this is:

burn rate = (runway)^(-1)

Reining in your burn rate as much as feasible is one of the easiest ways to extend your runway, and your chance of getting to awesomeness.

A typical job is a better way to maximize one's disposable income reliably next month or next year.
Coverage. Especially in the west.
This is very popular amongst people just working on desktop setups. They usually don't need /tmp to house anything too large. Arch Linux actually switched recently to mounting /tmp as tmpfs recently.
Every previous iPhone had a new feature that was a pretty BFD. This is the first without.
This article is terribly manipulative. If there are valid points to be made here, I'm not going to be convinced by an essay that is full of phrases like "an ivory tower decision made by a bunch of men playing God at Harvard". The cited sources are either questionable (as in the website with the statue depicting crucifiction dominating the banner) or do not support the author's conclusions (as in the NEJM article).
It's my impression that Doctors are generally very conservative about this, for 2 major reasons:

- they take the Hippocratic oath very seriously. It's a big part of the culture and indoctrination of medical students.

- they've seen enough examples of people dying from seemingly minor conditions and others of people recovering from seemingly irrecoverable situations to know that their predictive powers are quite fallible

So sure, I expect Doctors to cut corners and make mistakes, after all, they are human. But this is one area where I expect that they're much more likely to err by not declaring death soon enough...
> "it still is de facto heath insurance"

But without "automatic decline" conditions, which were critical to tptacek's point.

> "nominal charges of 40k is small potatoes"

Sure. But the cover story of CHM's latest newsletter [0] is a woman with a $300k bill that was reduced to $20k. Elsewhere in the newsletter is a request for donations to cover about $60k of a bill that has had $200k of reductions. There are, occasionally, bills that break the $1 million mark, though they usually come with reductions in the $500k+ range. Point being, very substantial reductions and charitable donations are common.

Again, I'm not specifically defending the status quo. I'm just saying, there are definitely options that allow some people with pre-existing conditions or catastrophic illness to avoid bankruptcy.

not even a serious car crash, even someone who has had a major heart attack. talking from personal experience, they can look just fine, but if their brain was without oxygen long enough, there's no chance that brain's coming back, even though certain reactions will still be present.
I'm not aware of any phone shipping this month that's a true Cortex A15 device. There are a lot of Krait phones, but that's a half step away.
Oh my god. I must have been caught in a time vortex and transported back to 2005 when everyone was saying the iPod would be doomed if Apple doesn't include FM radio. Pronto.

Apple will add an FM tuner when the product no longer really matters. You know, like they now did with the iPod nano.
20% lighter – Without exception, my $20 t-shirts wear out by failure of the fabric at the upper righthand corner of the pocket[1]. I get a little hole from keeping my iPhone in there. 20% lighter might save me a few t-shirts a year.

camera that takes picture the instant I touch the button – sounds like you want the 40% faster image capture time.

readable in direct sunlight or when wearing polarized sunglasses – yeah, me too. Still waiting on OLED to beat LCD.

EOM

[1] that wouldn't stop me from wearing them, but as soon as my wife sees the hole the shirt vanishes.

Not that I agree with this, but a book written on the subject recently was a fascinating read - "The Undead: Organ Harvesting, the Ice-Water Test, Beating Heart Cadavers--How Medicine Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Death by" Dick Teresi. Check out this NPR story about it too: http://www.npr.org/2012/03/19/148296627/blurring-the-line-be...
While I agree that everyday consumers couldn't care less, I think "dreams, goals and aspirations" is giving Apple way too much credit. Apple ads are cool. People want cool.

I actually don't think the Droid ads are so misguided. Look at ads for pickup trucks, sports cars and the like. People do respond to ads like that, they're just more demographically specific than Apple's ones.
hm. is this the first time that Verizon and AT&T are basing their plans solely on data allowances alone? Text & voice are both unlimited under each and every plan.
In some cases short and readable ends up as "more secure" by virtue of being implemented correctly.
To answer your question: I'd say it means the people choosing to buy the iPhone aren't doing it based on the merits of the device, but rather the ecosystem around it (A LARGE part of which is advertising, particularly advertising that makes the device a status symbol).

I say this because he's right, from a technical perspective the iPhone is "basically" just another smartphone. The guts are the same, the form factor is essentially the same. Hell, at this point even the feature sets of iOs and Android are basically the same.

So yes, there are reasons why people choose to buy an iPhone. But the only real "lesson" I see at this point is that brand names and advertising work...
I'm not an organ donor mostly because I think that some Doctor somewhere might give me up for dead since there are 3 people waiting for organs even though there is a slim chance I will live. That might not even be a bad decision on the part of the doctor (1 cripple vs 3 healthy people) but I don't want him to make that choice for me. If I'm alive and explained the situation for myself there is a good chance I would say "sure go for it, I'll be a brain dead cripple anyways" but I don't want that choice taken from me and given to some doctor with a few seconds to make a decision while he holds a knife over my still breathing body.
> Why does every new phone have to be a fucking revolution?

I completely agree.

But Apple has a habit of making it seem like everything they do is revolutionary. It's very good marketing.

> Apple reinvents the phone [1]

> This changes everything. Again.

> The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone

> A magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price

> Resolutionary

Again, I agree with you. But what I'm getting at is that Apple's brand of marketing creates a lot of hype and I'm sure they like it that way.

I read through the first bunch of these comments and scanned the rest...you guys, you guys...
I might have missed it but I didn't see anything about client delivery that is viable...or do you have other reasons for being in the software game? Who really cares what process you use? As a client I want to be involved, I want to see how you're doing on an on-going basis, I want stuff that works well, I want stuff I can use and I want to alter by vision as you deliver because my business can change...
My wife is an operating room nurse. She sometimes participates in organ transplants. She tells me that there is an anesthesiologist present and giving anesthesia drugs, contradicting the article. The way she describes it they open you up and cut your abdominal aorta, at which point the anesthesiologist leaves the room because you are fully dead. Then they harvest organs and tissues as fast as they can. The people being harvested are clearly, permanently beyond help. The harvests are scheduled to coincide with major surgeries for the recipients. They usually take place in the very early morning as preparation for the transplant later that day.

If I am on a respirator, and will be for the rest of my life, go ahead and harvest me.

I disagree with the conclusion and implications of this article. I also dislike how it implies that organ harvesting doctors have evil motives without coming out and saying it. The factual error that I saw, just as a husband of a transplant worker, also detract from the validity of the article.
It's the combination of software and hardware that makes the iPhone, don't just look at the spec.
A lot of people think they are taking care of their depression without drugs. But until they try taking drugs, they may not realise how much the depression they think they are taking care of is actually messing up their lives.
Is there a way to access/download our previous applications?

Now I think I'm going to have to troll some Angel investors I know, shoot for about 4/5
I like that their new cables are reversible. I hate how the micro-usb connectors can only fit one way, and it's not obvious which way the connector is when viewing from a distance. I always have to squint at the hole & cable every time I charge my phone (I have a nexus s)... it's too bad I'll never find an android phone with this kind of connector.
Their maps app is a regression stemming from political strife with google. It's much less useful now.
Oh, c'mon. JavaScript is a shit language that's been foisted on us. I don't know anyone that truly likes it. Rather they say they like it because it's the only game in town. But syntactically, it's ugly as hell.
In my opinion this takes an ethical grey area that a very small number of donors would fall into, blows it up, and pretends nothing else exists.

Pain in brain death? Ascending pathways still work but your brain lacks the capacity to feel it.
Heart rate spike? Autonomic nervous system releases adrenaline, again, automatic; a physiological reaction.

Is the authour hoping that this will lead to a change in brain death definitions? Is he suggesting that the donor is capable of recovery, of a mormal life given time and our modern miracles? Not going to happen.

If this blog is influential enough to lead to people declining organ donation, or withdrawing from the registry, then I believe he is responsible for the impaired lives of potential recipients

And yes, I read the articles.
Were most people using rainbow tables or brute forcing do crack the hashes?
So depression is not pathological but the idea of depression is pathological? How meta.

Your comparison with cancer is odious, as you indicate. The idea of depression may be a cause of depression? Check. The idea of cancer might be a cause of cancer? Ridiculous.

The OP may well have helped people with depression (or their friends) recognize or diagnose or de-stigmatize their condition. Your comment? Not so much.

The social stigma of mental illness is real, and castigating people for relating their experiences, and others for applauding and adding to it, for not being strictly evidence based is not nice. Why didn't he perform a double-blind trial on himself, for goodness sake, and hold off on his blog post for a while? Crikey.

Lots of people commit suicide. Why should it matter to them, or their loved ones, if the cause is neurological or psychological? Why does a better life through SSRI's have to be justified to...anyone?
At my university, pretty much every Microsoft product is available for free through MSDN Academic Alliance. Pretty handy if you want to play around with Visual Studio or if you custom-built a computer that doesn't come with Windows. I don't know if the university has to pay for this or not, but it saves the money of the students at least!
The realistic, 3D stuff is a problem. A BIG problem. Not only because it could likely mean a real child was used in the creation but also because anybody who looks at THAT kind of shit is without a doubt, a pedophile.

>- they take the Hippocratic oath very seriously. It's a big part of the culture and indoctrination of medical students.

The same doctors in bed with big-Pharma, that shove prescriptions around for money and paid-all-expenses trips?

The same doctors that perform unnecessary operations for a buck?
Perfect, thanks. Will be applying with Kindful. Good luck everyone. Was impressed with the quality of the last couple of cycles.

And brain dead means dead, no chance or recovery...

The key point of the article is that the test allegedly used to determine brain death isn't a very good one. I'd be curious to know whether the test described (pulling the patient off a respirator for two minutes) is indeed the actual criterion used. It sounds suspiciously simplistic.
Indeed. Of course all the sane defaults in the world won't stop someone copying and pasting shit like this from a dodgy tutorial:

$password = mysql_query("SELECT password FROM users
WHERE email = ".$_POST['email']." LIMIT 1");

To clarify this to the downvoters who chose not to comment:

The finest password hashing algorithm ever committed to source control won't protect your other sensitive information (address, phone numbers, etc.) when SQL injection can make your entire database vulnerable to attack.
/tmp is simply RAM that has the API of a file

...which used to behave, physically, as disk, and now behaves as RAM. If I'm doing large file manipulations that require temporary files larger than RAM where should I put them?
Even tech geeks shouldn't care about half the specs. A 1GHz CPU running iOS will perform differently to a 1GHz CPU running Android which will perform differently to a 1GHz CPU running Windows Phone.

Just looking at numbers like this is a gross simplification.
Runaway script deletes higgs data
It's about as ghetto as a feature grid can get.
I don't know if it is easy to come up with these numbers (legal and policy maters aside from a purely medical stand point). Still as someone who have been around transplant teams, I can say at least in the state of Maryland, things are very well under control and I for one would not worry too much about been taken advantage of. But definitely there are places that things are not handled as they should.
