You can give a custom email to every website. Then if they spam you or sell you address, you'll know and it's one click to turn them off.

Another nice trick is to change your email at a spammy vendor to a leemail and then turn it off.

We're 5 YC alums, trying to change the world.  Join us at 42Floors.
We've been part of 4 other YC companies, spanning 4 different YC batches and 2 acquisitions. Never did we ever think we'd be working on a commercial real estate search engine. But here we are. We discovered in our previous companies how much it sucks to search for office space. It's effectively a data problem and we believe passionately in the power of the internet to bring transparency to rusty old industries. We've found a passion in making beautiful products that help other companies discover their dream office. Frankly, we also love disrupting a $25B industry because no one thought it was possible.

We're looking to bring on a full stack engineer. We work mostly with Ruby on Rails and Backbone.js. Good hackers can learn any framework of course, so there's no prerequisite on experience -- you just need to be a smart hacker willing to take on problems. We've got backend data needs, front end products to build, mobile apps in need of love. There's lots to do.

You don't need to be a YC alum, but you should naturally think like a founder, not an employee. There are now 9 of us, and each of us is a strong-willed, independent thinker. The root of our teamwork is based in respect for each other's considerable talents.

Because we're entirely composed of other capable founders, we only need to do things like meetings once every couple of weeks. It's refreshing. Of course, we play bughouse (team chess) every day. Often, several times a day. We even wrote an app to calculate our rankings...but I digress.

We also climb and go to a boxing instructor every week (it's an incredible workout). We have uber-healthy food every day. After a few weeks with us, you'll find that you're in the best health of your life. It's an awesome perk.

We won't stand for anything other than simplicity and eloquence in both our design and our code. Hopefully, you feel the same way.

Salary is $100k+ (you'll pick the actual number). Equity will be 1%. 8/9 of us are SF based. You don't have to be, but it's much better if you are.

Join us. 42floors.com/jobs
No, but there will be a website very soon.
Meanwhile you can be first one to put it's hand on, drop a line @ henrique [at] 3heap.com , I'll make sure you receive a beta version while it's being completed for final launch.
That's really fascinating. The boat sounds almost like a mobile version of the huge wall of ice in Game of Thrones. I could see this used to construct space stations and vehicles, to be used where the vacuum of space prevented thawing.
I have no idea what this is, but i'd suggest adding "Categories" The signal to noise ratio here is just to small. Nothing seems relevant...
Strange. I don't ever recall Sunday being used as the start of the week in the UK. I asked a few people here and they all said Monday. The two printed calendars I was able to find (a diary and a wallplanner) all use Monday. ISO 8601 also starts the week on Monday [1].

You are correct that the Wikipedia article I cited says that in the Judeo-Christian tradition the week starts on Sunday, but that is clearly for religious purposes. Since the UK is home to people of many religions and none, I'm not sure why you think that Sunday is normative.

Serious question: does it feel different if your week starts on Sunday? Do you feel like your week is bracketed by a non-work day at each end?

Watch that scene again. They adjust both the pitch of the tires on the pavement and the timing of the "bumps" from the seams. While two different bridges could have the same timing at different speeds, or the same pitch, they're betting on the combination of pitch and "bump" timing to be unique for a given bridge and a given speed.
AGREED!

Will certainly repost when it gets a little further along.
There's a better trick: point the link structure at itself. This avoids any need to test for null.
I love this. I love the deliciously clean design, the immediate type-and-post functionality (reminiscent of IRC), the loose feel and structure of the forum that makes it a wonderful base for customisation in any aspect. I wish this were in Ruby/Rails; then I'd set it up on my site. It's precisely the sort of forum I've been looking to implement, especially the two-column format and the IRC-style text entry box.

(I wonder how I could get it to interface with a Rails app? Would there be problems just connecting it to the app's database, to get/store user accounts and stats, for example?)

Here's the github repo containing the open-source fork of it: https://github.com/cheshirecats/CuriousWall

Thanks cheshirecat, you've done a great thing here.
You are missing the fuel -- it takes a lot of fuel to drag that parasite across the ocean and it would almost certainly be noticed by the crew of the ship as shipping is a low margin, high volume business and costs are closely watched.
There is one language that stands way out at the forefront when it comes to working on enabling B grade programmers to write scalable, concurrent systems: C#.

I think a big part of its success is that it avoids the hype machine. It isn't a disruptive language that changes the way we do things. It can't be, or management would be justifiably wary of it. Instead, it's a language that started out as a very close clone of Java, and since then its designers have been rapidly iterating to the point that it's now a (mostly, some would say) functional language that's solidly embedded in the enterprise space.

It's somewhat disappointing that it's still missing algebraic data types and pattern matching. But considering I've got most of what I want without ever having had to pitch switching languages to an employer, I'm really not in a position to complain too much.
Also, many of these things, by the time some people (such as myself) see them on the front page, are already fixed.
Another great tool that does this is http://supportdetails.com/ I like how aboutmybrowser allows you to grab a quick link to share.
Time to see how well this will work on my tiny diy Llano-based HTPC. I can play Portal smoothly via Steam on my 5-year old Opteron desktop running Ubuntu so I hope I will have no problems with the A6.
I do this as well. Everything from the spark file (I call it a "ideas journal"), to the freelancers file, to the maxims file (I call it the "laws of life", inspired by a character on Star Trek TNG).

Would you be interested in putting one of your files online? Or is the information too personal/ valuable to share? Keeping the possible programmers/designers and the spark file secrets I could understand. Sharing the "maxims" file could spawn an interesting website.
There's a "Lists" function. And it is hidden, to keep the UI ultra-clean. Click the left pane title to show it.

There is actually a way to do this fully in process. I think Rob Pike initially build this, and it's being used in the App Engine framework (or so I hear...).

I am trying hard (and failing) to recall a game which had a mechanism like this for entering names etc.

I think it was Killzone on PS2, but can't be certain.
Functional languages historically suffer from weak libraries. Languages built on the JVM can side-skirt that issue quite a bit.
awesome!

This is a good reason to learn go :)

What I don't understand is how companies can hold patents on something that is so clearly a standard that is required to be used by anyone that wants to connect to an LTE based network. If anything these patents should be licensed under FRAND, and should be licensed by the manufacturer of the modem not by every single device manufacturer that happens to include an LTE enabled modem in their device.

I don't quite understand how someone can own patents on a standard and selectively allow and disallow people from using that standard. Why hasn't this been banned? Why are there no completely open standards for communication between a wireless base-station and a wireless node?

Are there any patents on VHF/UHF communications using FM/AM modulation? Were there any patents that have expired that I am not aware of because I am fairly young compared to the technology (avid HAM radio user ... not nearly as well educated on its history)? Where these same patent battles happening when people were building radio's?
http://myide.as I builded this small app last year as a way to quickly share my "sparks" with friends anonymously or not.
Never managed to learn org-capture, so I use deft instead. Not as immediate but good enough.
Cool, an auto-refreshing status page that will mostly be looked at when the servers (possibly the network) are already stressed.
Well,

What I would say about Functional Languages isn't that they're over-rated but they are mis-rated if they are described as means of replacing the abomination that is Object Oriented Programing (which I use every day).

I would free acknowledge that functional programming constructs are powerful methods to concisely specify complex, well-behaved systems. I use arrays of function pointers and similar things when I want to create such a subsystem in a c++ program I'm working on (obviously not using full fp but it still give power-galore).

The thing that FP isn't is means to tie two huge, horrible systems together (or accomplish similar tasks). And while fp might indeed be used to create a number of elegant systems, if fp is unable to beat back the forest of horrible, inelegant systems around us, it isn't going to replace OO and it isn't going to get wide adoption. Because OO may be awful but has the quality that if used judiciously, it can made ugly stuff somewhat less ugly.
Aw crap, you're right, I had forgotten about the sound of the tires on the pavement in between the bumps.
"The domain name arpa is a top-level domain (TLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is used exclusively for technical infrastructure purposes. While the name originally was the acronym for the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the funding organization in the United States that developed one of the precursors of the Internet (ARPANET), it now stands for Address and Routing Parameter Area."

That was some good combination. I always admire programmers than can also produce good design. Now, I will add marketer + programmer combination to my "admiration" list!
I do the same. Most importantly, I use a Dropbox capable plaintext editor on my phone so that no matter where and when my hunches or thoughts come from, they get written down. That has gotten even easier with my phones excellent voice dictation capability (I won't mention which one to avoid a stupid platform war distraction).

I like this solution over Evernote because my notes are not trapped in a proprietary solution, but also because you want the simplest UI so that you focus on your thought. There are many great writing apps for your phone, tablet or pc that take all the distractions away for this very reason.
I am surprised that Google tries to promote them on catwalk instead of nerdy conferences, maybe they think it needs a bit of glamour.
We use this. Works great and is very user-friendly even for people who aren't good with computers.
That doesn't let you remap arbitrary keys; it lets you remap keys in the configurations they've pre-defined for you. That's not the same thing.

Also, the implementation is really wonky, so if you want to do a circular remap (ie, A->B, B->C, C->A), you'll end up with really weird interactions.

It's a stopgap hack at best.
Mozilla shows off FireFox OS
Nicely summarized on the network layer, next you'll want to expand the 'database' box into its components and a storage layer and its components.

There is also an interesting layer of networking services which involve routability and validation (certificate checking etc) and then there is the third party API scale so sometimes you're generating traffic back out to things other than a CDN (like Twitter or Facebook or some Google thing)

Part 4 should be looking at it from the data center side, which is these things are breaking all the time, building scalable repair systems that give 100% uptime on unreliable hardware.

It goes on and on and on ...

Yes, that was my sense, as well: firstly, the terrorist fear tactics are ridiculous, but secondly, if terrorists ever were to use these things to smuggle weapons into the US, our drug policy would be at least partly to blame: drug producers and distributors are the best-funded organizations in global organized crime, they're probably the only ones well-enough-funded to develop this kind of technology, and they owe their wealth to demand induced by America's idiotic war on drugs. Now, though, it's too late -- the technology is out there for anyone to buy.
Any modern version of Windows will show up here as "Windows NT". I think you should be able to determine the correct version through the user agent string. "Windows NT 6.2" is Win8, 6.1 is Win7, 6.0 is Vista.

Powering an electromagnetic for that kind of voyage on an amateur drug-smuggler's budget is one possible pain point I can think of. It would have to be a pretty strong magnet, as well.
Maybe we just don't hear about situations when the backup/secondary server succeeds in picking up the slack because it would be transparent to the end user?
Have you ever done any C programming? malloc() returns a pointer to an allocated block, but it isn't zeroed for you, so if you don't clear it yourself you may end up with random data. Same with uninitialised variables in C.
I feel exactly the same about smartphone UI.
I agree with you. My point still stands, though. If we are concerned about terrorists having access to this, shut off its R&D money and gain other societal benefits (I say as a non-drug user).

Of course, why choose a method that would reduce the police state and its associated costs when we can choose one that will increase them. :(
How to convert DVD to Nokia Lumia 820

There is software called Notational Velocity that can be setup to use a folder of text files like this. I have mine setup like this on Dropbox and it works great.

The software presents a reverse chronological list of the files' updated timestamps, has a 'search-or-create' style of file creation, and can have links to one file within another.

Conference Tips for Efficient Presentation of Your Startup
Interesting.

With the exception of the contact list, I've been doing all the same things off and on for a while now.

It started with a generic idea file, simple titles and as much description as is necessary. More recently, I've started something like your "rules to live by" which I think of as "you learn something new every day". Quick adages and rules that I felt were worth noting.

You've inspired me get back in the habit of dedicating at least 30 minutes to my files each day.
The Importance of Wearing Helmets

> The fatal mistake was assuming that the same percentage of mortgages would blow up when subprimes were 10% of the market, because the process of going for 1% to 10% means writing many more loans and extending credit to buyers who should never have been buying houses in the first place.

There's another problem - the "market share" of subprime loans was underreported by Fannie and Freddie (and they were the largest single buyer of the relevant securities). So, even if your model of forclosures depended on the share of subprime mortgages and was perfect, you got the wrong results because the inputs were wrong.
X.25 - that is a blast from the past. I think JANET and Autonet had gateways where you could hop from one to the other (ie, TCP/IP to X.25).
So what exact porn moves is she talking about? I watch a fair amount of porn, and a lot of the positions are obviously uncomfortable and just for show. Even if it wasn't obvious at first, it would be as soon as you tried them.

However, I do think porn has introduced me to some new, valuable ideas. Maybe this lady has just had some bad lovers? Anyway, while I think the rationale is condescending, I'm all for some more "natural" looking porn on the market.

Well, not really too late, since the technology has been around for ages. Legalizing drugs and dismantling the cartels would go a long way toward removing the infrastructure that's been built up to support this kind of project.
At work, it's a 14" Macbook Pro (probably a 2011 model, not quite sure) with two external monitors. I use an external apple keyboard, because having a 10-key is really helpful, but I use the trackpad since I have to span 3 screens with the cursor, it's a pain to use a mouse sometimes.

At home, I have a 13" Macbook Air, the previous generation. I prefer using this to be honest than my 3 monitor setup at work since it's light weight, and I am more portable. I don't use any accessories for it, except I did buy a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse that I may use occasionally, but it's primarily for when I'm doing presentations.
I can't find a reference, but there was a PSP homebrew app that had a keyboard very similar to this. In addition, I saw a similar keyboard at a CS fair at my university last year. It's not new, just not particularly widely used.

Now that is a good service status page. It made me go from "Github sucks" to "Go github." It is well pieced, informative, and upfront about the whole deal. Their auto refresher seals the whole deal. It shows they are confident on their skills to get the problem fixed. Bravo github. Well done. Now hurry up and finish so you can answer the support email I sent this morning. :)
Ever tried using gitX? I really like it.
Your brain is reminding you "you've spent an awful lot of time on an idea that's yet to be validated" and it's getting nervous. You're interpreting that to mean - stop work, throw in the towel. What it actually means is that it's time to get feedback. Less coding, more conversations.

Motivation from the idea alone can only sustain you for so long.

Spend the next week or so working on it from the outside in. Iterate on the landing page, pricing page etc.

I was looking for an "About" or "Demo" page to maybe see a video or more indepth close up screenshots.

Once it's visually ready for visitors - with a clear message of EXACTLY what it does, start showing it to people. anyone, everyone, get your beta testers started.

Both good and bad feedback should light some excitement inside of you, to continue and fix any obstacles.

Use the feedback to decide whether to continue on with it. If you decide there are still issues that can't be overcome, at least you have a fully rounded, working project. If the feedback shows you're onto a winning idea, then comes the excitement of the full launch!
Vacuum doesn't prevent thawing. Vacuum is an insulator against mechanical heat transfer, but it doesn't do anything against radiative heat transfer. Better not bring that pykrete hull anywhere closer to the Sun than, say, Mars.

Also, cellulose is harder to find in space than carbon, iron or aluminum, currently.
How many people don't know what browser they are using or OS? Pretty easy to find out.
There's a huge world of $M businesses out there outside of the narrow Techcrunch-oriented ad-driven consumer internet biz. I did consulting for a while and met tons of small niche companies making millions for crappy software (and often crappy service). Long ago a guy at MSR told me they wrote up business ideas for Bill Gates' Think Weeks. He said it was easy to come up with lots of $100M ideas, but no one cared. MS needs $1-10B ideas to make it worth their while.

The reason I'm not rich is because these niches are hard to break into. It's all about enterprise sales to obscure niches. In fact, we need a dating event to pair enterprise sales people and tech founders. I tried enterprise sales, but within a month I wanted to kill myself. It takes a special breed of human to do that.

There's a novel I read years ago that had a similar idea. It was a Clive Cussler book: The Mediterranean Caper. The smuggling plot had a modified submarine containing the narcotics attached to cargo vessels & it would detach from the cargo vessel at inspection times. It wasn't a great book and it felt kind of James Bond villain-esque but the concept is sound.
On average, how much time does it take to renew the certificate and bring it back online?
I didn't. And I agree - the market for normal people having vanilla sex is well served. People who are looking for it, get it. Most people are looking for stunt people having stunt sex.

>This is more about education and promoting a different vision of the behavioral side of sex.

It's moral education, promoting a particular vision of how she thinks people should be having sex. My guess is that it's also going to be a bit puritan, with soft focus, obstructive camera angles and a lot of cuts. It will probably make people whose sex lives are pretty statistically normal feel perverted and judged.
