That would certainly be something to bring up with your team if you do regular retrospectives.

The purpose of standing is to keep the meeting short and focused. Can you think of alternative ways that your team can ensure that the meeting is short and focused that doesn't require standing? If so, suggest them (or see what your team members suggest) and try them out!
As commented by other people there's a few similar places to get this sort of thing (a monthly start-up branded tshirt), but is there nowhere that maybe releases a new one each month and you can check it out and decide to buy, even if it's only available for a limited period of time (e.g. until the next one comes out)?

Personally for me to want the shirt it has to have an OK combination of a.) looking good and b.) I like the company - could be that it looks kinda alright and I really like the company, or that it looks really nice and I kinda think the company are OK... but I just don't really have any interest in getting a tshirt that may or may not look terrible, for a company I may or may not hate / not have heard of / whatever.

Original iPhone review (2007)
This is a very interesting read. As someone who has been part of a flipped raft in a class 4 rapid, I had similar contemplations. Regardless of the actual danger I was in, the experience is eye opening, memorable, and puts life into harsh perspective
One of the things that really irk me about Google's new name policy is how friggin' hard it is to delete my old comments.
Does Windows 8 even give you a choice if you are on ARM?
The results of the re-exam would always be litigated, every time.
I disagree. There does seem to be something evil going on here, and it's the implicit hypocrisy of do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do. Inject any amount of imperative conditions and circumstances, you like. You're only emphasizing the double standards Google would like to impose. Sometimes be evil, othertimes don't.

The fact is that product managers at Google+ want cash cow personalities like Ashton Kutcher tweeting their tweets at Larry King from Google+ instead of Twitter, and these VIPs are the bait for the rest of the faceless rabble who serve merely as an online entourage, and a justification for ad prices. Google+ is a business based on personalities. They don't come right out and tell you this, but it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Popularity and rejection cut to the heart of an individual's emotions when participating online, especially when playing for keeps with their actual identity. Google+ is forcing you to play for keeps, but what about the dangers? They want the money that comes with veracity, but they offer little in return (just like facebook). Who picks up the pieces after someone gets smeared, or execises porr judgement. There's no padding. No undo file. Just you. Left out in the cold.

Google+ is courting special people, but not everybody is special. Exclusive treatment for some, unprotected, unmitigated public exposure for others. Pay to play, but the VIP handlers probably won't pay attention to you, unless you have special representation. Need I harp on the cognitive dissonance this has with a "democratic internet"?
If it were easy, everybody would do it. So far however, only a minority is doing startups. IMO too, if it's getting easier, you are doing it wrong.

Document and image management systems have been doing this sort of thing for decades. Form a unique identifier for an image by hashing, split the bytes out into a path name by hex converting, and you have a file system path.

Great points. I definitely agree that the visual styling of Yahoo! remains in a web 1.5 era and I'm sure Marissa Meyer will have her fair share to say about it in the coming months. After all, Google's famous white background is largely considered one of Marissa's influences.

Other than the design aspect - Yahoo!'s web technology is largely, for the lack of a better word, 'adequate'. Their search bar searches well (powered by Bing), their mail client sends mail, and Flickr is still a great service for image consumption and storage.

What of their 'lifestyle' or 'media' portals? For instance Yahoo! Answers, Finance, Auto, Sports (Fantasy Sports as well as Sports news) etc? These are all great Yahoo! product areas in their own right. What do you think users would say to Yahoo! making a media play similar to what AOL has done?

One gripe of mine is Match.com, another Yahoo! property. It seems largely untapped. It isn't widely branded as part of the Yahoo! portfolio (lacking the trademark Yahoo! Purple design scheme, for one), and it seems it has largely operated independent of its parent company in the past. I think Yahoo! should either choose to do something with this website and have it mean something to the rest of the Yahoo! family of products, or sell it off and use the money to fund other ventures.
The DWP aren't alone in this pointless waste of IPs - it's just the scale of their squandering that's worse than usual. I know of many companies doing the same with (multiple) class B ranges. Far too much of the IPv4 space is dark for this reason - an early land grab followed by ignorant deployment. Perhaps only now we're getting to the right level of scarcity and open market value for something to be done about it.

Show HN: Simple task management (punchTask)
Of course clients are going to love it because they're not going to pay for anything unless they want to, and they are going to try to bring you down to as low of a price as possible.

Where I see it, you don't care what the price is really, because you'll always get the same percentage of the cut no matter what the selling price is.

I don't think the issue is that a lot of devs have side projects and never finish them, I just think it's the fact that we work on side projects and we get distracted by paying jobs, outside life, etc.

If you can make this work, then more power to you. If you really want to get interest, you should try to get college kids that don't already have years of experience and already in full time jobs, they'd be more willing to get something to put on their resume for the risk of not getting paid.
That ignores the selection effects. Once word of their reputation got out, people started settling the weaker cases rather than litigating in East Texas.

They also have helpful local rules, like the one that lets people file a cover sheet with the clerk a day early, getting a case number and priority. So even if you anticipate the lawsuit, you can't get out of EDT, as Cisco found out once upon a time.

At this point, I have <2% users on something < iOS 4.3. I have 0 users < iOS 4.0. There are a few users out there I'm sure, but it's so small of a number as to not be worth supporting as either Apple or as an app developer. 95+% are on 5.0 or better, and I'd be willing to bet >80% will be on iOS 6 in the next month. Supporting iOS 3 at this point is silly.

A good summary of the OP's point, I think.

I'm not sure what your end point here is, as it's all over the map, but you seems to simultaneously be arguing against the author's point and for it as well.
Worse quality screen, graphics card, audio, and slower cpu. Worse keyboard(no backlighting), worse trackpad(my missus has one they are pretty awful), thicker case.

Nothing is stand out worse but everything is just a bit worse which when your pushing the upper edges adds up to a lot of cost. Not even counting build quality.
This is great. As a freelancer, I often reluctant to delete past client's repo. With this, I can keep all past projects' repo without blowing my wallet.

Complexity is an advantage for the existing elite. The more complex you make patent law, the harder it will be to defend against if you're a small fish with limited resources.

I admit I haven't been following the drama that Mayer has been creating in her wake, but if she really quit Google with only a 30 minute notice, this strongly indicates that she really didn't like the place to begin with. If she did, she wouldn't do anything to burn bridges so thoroughly.
Have you considered that he might care a great deal, but disagree with your specific suggestions?
Yeah well this has been all over the primetime news shows on german television. They all aired with the warning to not use IE / switch to a different browswr.

While this might not mean much to the average user of HN (read: tech literate) - i think it IS quite a big deal for "ordinary" computer users.

I think such warnings, from an official government body no less, will be heeded by many who don't know much and "just want to be safe"

Meanwhile MS choses to tell people that it "is not that bad" and that "not many users will be affected" and no word on when a patch is coming.
This despite the fact that all current MS OSes (xp,vista,7) are exposed - is a PR disaster for MS.
Noonespecial is talking about private actors, not the state. This is essentially a call for a boycott, and I can't see this as a reflection on noonespecial's views on net neutrality one way or the other.

While it was pretty obvious that I could 'win' the award by paying for a conference ticket, I considered it - just so I could send out the press release, put the logo on my web site, and drop the name in client presentations. I figured I might get more value out of it than the few thousand dollars it cost, since we were selling into ad agencies and they seemed to value awards very highly. I also figured they wouldn't know this particular award was meaningless.

In the end I got a little too irritated by the sales guy's hard sell and passed, but I'm not certain it was a rational economic decision. Lots of ad technology companies trumpet their phony awards to the skies.
Just a heads up: it's encouraged to point out when people are wrong, but you've trounced all over the guidelines [0] to do it. Please reread and follow the guidelines in the future.

Of particular note:

- Be civil.

- When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

- Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Ask VC & HN: What was more important than Pandora for 300 VCs?
I was reading an article that says Pandora got rejected by 300 VC's. Three Hundred.

I read similar happened with Google and other similar companies. Skype, I heard, had 40 rejections.

I have a mindset that a good idea will reveal itself as a good idea to those who are looking for a good idea. This same mindset is also convinced that a good team will reveal itself to be a good team to those who are looking for a good team. In another way, I believe a good investment will reveal itself as a good investment to those who are looking for a good investment.

Which comes to this question. What was in the mind of all these investors that rejected a good idea, a good team, and a good investment? What were they looking for?

Rejection by a few, I can understand. But rejection reaching in high double digits to even triple digits for a good idea with a good team - I just don't understand. What were they looking for?
I didn't mean to offend anyone by suggesting to do a redirect, but I know that it's an easy fix to do so that's why I suggested it.

What's the value in protecting one's identity if colleagues are going to release it to the (possibly corrupt) government and media? If he does return, there's no way he can continue with the pseudonym, and in the (unlikely?) event of a safe return, it sounds as if he'd now be in jeopardy for past reporting.

It seems there's no positive end game, even if he is found safely.

> If you view the economy as a zero sum game, which might hold true, but only if you include the entire universe in your economic model

This is the best way of putting this point I have ever seen.
"The hypothesis was that MDMA would make the negative memories less painful."

Recreational use of MDMA has given me panic attacks, increased anxiety, emotional dependence and depression. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence online that tells the same story, which is something you rarely hear anyone talk about. It seems like different people respond differently to MDMA. Perhaps it's dependent on your personality or brain chemistry. For people like me the effect on the serotonin system in the brain can be very dangerous and sometimes cause permanent damage.

I used to be very liberal towards drug use in general until I experienced the down sides first hand.
Maybe that was worded poorly:

What I meant was to have two galleries on IMGUR, ORIGINGAL and FILTERED.

The API should be used for applying the filters, but why build all the image hosting and gallery capabilities when IMGUR has solved that problem. Use IMGURs API to push the originals and filtered versions to the right spot.

Basically you don't.

Most of the games business is a high risk, high reward gamble. New IP much more so than working with an existing franchise. This is in no way unique to a game like Rochard, it'd apply equally much to $0.99 iPhone games or AAA games launching on all platforms and needing to sell 3 million copies to break even.

In this case the original target market was the PS3 store, and my understanding is that the very highest selling indie games there have lifetime sales in the half million unit range. And the sales figures are likely obeying a power law, with the median sales in the thousands of units. It does seem like a pretty horrible place to be selling to.

For Rochard, we can try to make a rough estimate of the cost. First of all the studio making the game was formed for an overly ambitious project (Earth No More), which was scrapped after several years. Mostof the team dispersed, but a skeleton crew started on a new game, and shipped Rochard around 1.5 years laters. The credits show 15 people, but I doubt they would all have been on the project full time. So let's guess 10-15 man-years of work.

On the funding side, clearly they won't have had much if any money left at the start of the project. Early on they sold some part of the rights to the game to an outside investor for 400kEUR.

Even if we ignore overhead, the cost of things like voice acting, and assume Finnish pay levels, it seems clear that the team wasn't working for full market salaries. Maybe they just really wanted to work on games rather than CRUD apps. Or they all had significant equity, and were hoping to hitting it big with that 1% surprise hit.

Judging by Rochard not appearing on the top 20 most sold lists on the PSN, it seems like a fair bet that it did not make a profit there. I don't know whether it flopped completely or had mediocre sales. For the purpose of making money, it doesn't really matter. There's a good chance that they'll make more from the Humble Bundle than from PSN. Even so, it doesn't look like a project that would have broken even for the investors, or for anyone working on it at below market wage.

(Edit: Which is a shame. It was one of my favorite games last year, and I certainly didn't mind paying for it again as part of the bundle).
Apple doesn't enforce the HIG like this. App review will catch big, ugly, user-confounding violations (some times) but not these little fiddly bits around the edges.
I'm still exploring that myself. There's /r/linuxadmin, but traffic's fairly low. You can toss search terms at the front page (sitewide) or through Google/DDG and see where you end up.

I'm having better luck at focused technical discussion on Stack Exchange rather than Reddit. I've found a few non-technical subreddits of interest though. For that, it's been a pretty phenomenal community builder. Better than any other forum I'm currently aware of, HN included (though HN's focus on tech and the startup world is pretty good).

Farmsteading Reddit seems to work reasonably well, though it takes time to generate traction. Seed, fertilize, and weed.
The GitHub analogy doesn't seem to fit. I can continue to use git regardless of whether GitHub is up, down or sideways.

I'm glad to hear that a downloadable version is on the horizon though! Thank You.
When developing anything for any platform as developers we all make a conscious decision about our cutoff points. Do we attempt to support as low as we can go? Do we get progressive? They're all tradeoffs that we have to make, and have to decide on.

Apple might not be making it easy to stick with a low as we can go but it's still doable, so I'd guess the developers have made the decision and taken the tradeoffs.

Nice article ! One comment : on the "Selling Time Over Money" part, it seems to me that some business manage to do the opposite.
Take Ikea, for instance.
Typically you buy some furniture there, hoping to spend little money in exchange of giving up your sunday afternoon precious time.
If you take into account the time spent assembling the furniture, with a reasonable hourly rate, some furnitures there are not so cheap anymore.

The Ikea business implies that sometimes we prefer money over time.
I mean the iPhone 3G.
Ho ho ho. Thanks for reminding me about that. I came up with the filter names and descriptions.

The complete list was:

Hangover: Everything's too bright! Where did all the colors go? Argh, my head.

Drugstore: Perhaps you shouldn't have gone for the cheapest possible photo printing

Truffaut: You've always dreamed of appearing in a European art house movie

Blemish: For when only black and white can rescue your picture

Madison: You like to think you're Don Draper, but you're actually Pete Campbell

Jaundice: The relaxing yellow hue that accompanies a severe liver problem

Blue Rinse: You tried to wash your socks and your white shirts together, didn't you?

Cataract: This is how Grandma sees you

Doves Cry: A Prince-ly purple vibe

Williamsburg: Don’t you wish you’d lived there before it was cool to live there?
The weirdest parts about that one are really:

1) You're placing the lock under the complete unsupervised control of someone you're supposed to be securing against. A car buyer, for example, could replace their entire ignition system with aftermarket parts: no amount of security will prevent that.

2) It doesn't actually need Bitcoin. The same concept can be implemented with regular old key signing.
> Complexity is an advantage for the existing elite.

This is true, but until a point. Eventually if a system becomes complex enough, it must collapse. The elite are still human and they still have limitations. Even now, no lawyer is capable of committing the entire body of law responsible for the patent system to memory, nevermind actually grasping all of it.

> The more complex you make patent law, the harder it will be to defend against

The more complex the system, the more contradictions it contains. The more contradictions for you to exploit.

On the contrary, if we had an extremely simplistic system, the small fish would just be told NO with no recourse. Today, they can find reason after reason to counter-sue, appeal, file forms, etc.

Mind you, I'm only a fan of bureaucracy when I'm trying to destroy a particular system.
