How We Use Lean Stack for Innovation Accounting
Please beware that is good practice to actually read an article before commenting.
"A judge has ordered the arrest of the president of Google's operating...". In just the second word, the article lets you know that it was someone in the judicial power making the decision and giving the order. Not the executive. And it is also very clear that the reason for the arrest was not the videos, but the decision from Google to commit a crime by not obeying a very specific order form a week before: hardly a base to conclude that it was a "corrupt decision".
So, not a corrupt decision, and not from the Brazilian Government.
The rest of your post is only a diatribe against Brazil, where you show your feelings but not a single fact, idea or reasoning. Come on man, this is not what HN should be for, and you are a valuable member of it; we both know you are way better than this comment. I guess passions sometimes are stronger than ourselves.
If your email is hacked, you don't necessarily even know your email is hacked. With traditional username/password authentication, an attacker has to reset passwords to leverage email, and you have a very god shot at noticing a password somewhere changed. Under this scheme it is much harder to notice "you are screwed," as you put it. The attacker gets to decide WHEN you find out about the compromise.

And yes it's possible to figure out which sites I visit from my Gmail, and yes it's possible to lose your job AND forget your password all at once, but these issues are made exponentially worse by the "email a login token every time" scheme outlined in the article.
Is it just me or is there no sample page on the site? I had to go to a participating webpage and find their 404.

It's a noble idea, i don't know if 404's are an appropriate place, and i don't know if it'll have any real impact. Noble, though.
There is a very precise recipe necessary for success. These are the exact steps you need to take, pay special attention to the order because it's very important you follow it exactly.

1. Succeed

Unfortunately most funded, incubated, accelerated, bootstrapped, unfunded, unincubated, unaccelerated and other startups fail to follow these very simple instructions.
Except Indeed got the VC infusion in 2005, and only after that did they start becoming a recognizable player in the industry (if my personal experience in the industry isn't enough of a source for this, see http://www.google.com/trends/?q=indeed.com&geo=usa&s...)
The wrong part here is in "passes all the tests and works" assumption. In my experience, static analysis, unit tests and reviews all help minimize errors (amongst their other benefits), ideally you'd make use of all three.
Imagine your next Über driver.
Not for a while: "The regulations would allow vehicles to operate autonomously, but a licensed driver would still need to sit behind the wheel to serve as a backup operator in case of emergency."

Given the current state of the technology, this makes sense. And in the future, we may yet have fully driverless cars, instead of merely autonomous ones.

Edit: The way google has been testing these cars, AFAIK, is through a special "experimental vehicle" permit.
Obviously mobile browsers don't have hover states, but that doesn't mean that desktop browsers shouldn't.
GNU source is never a pleasure to read, but as far as I can tell the bash builtin "times" prints to stdout.

This can be observed by running:

Very interesting. Thank you for the additional detail!
Additionally, it induces anxiety/sadness/etc in lots of people. Some can apparently just tune it out, but some are significantly emotionally affected by this kind of thing.
hi,

Well currently we support 4 actions within calendar, "CREATE_EVENT", "SEARCH_CALENDAR", "MODIFY_EVENT" and "DELETE_EVENT". There are a number of different entities including "dateRange, lengthOfTime, timeRange, date, time, meetingTopic, contactName, friendOrRelative, location, originalTime, originalDate, originalLocation, replacementTime, replacementDate" and a few others I'm sure I've missed.

For reminder we support "CREATE_REMINDER" and "SEARCH_REMINDER", we also support the entities "message", "time" and "arrivalLocation" and "leaveLocation". Does this answer your question or did you want a more specific answer? If you want more information feel free to email us directly :) .
1. Have luck.

2. Or: Pivot. Have luck.

3. Or: Pivot. Have luck.

(This assumes you know how to build a startup)
That's exactly how I started, with the low-end mobile and worked my way up. Check out a little project I made using css media queries. http://www.TimeForZen.com (resize the window width to mimic tablet and smart phone widths)

It didn't defeat user expectation, it didn't cost more and take longer, it works better than a non responsive design would, it doesn't really save any bandwidth but it does make code maintenance easy, and it's NOT a compromise.

I can see some of his points when applied to more complicated non-blog sites with ads and sidebars. Rather than say "responsive design isn't worth it" he should have written it from the perspective of "responsive design isn't always enough".
Actually, an infinite number of people can be Pareto optimal at just two things.
Your answer makes me want to quit HN forever and move to the planet Mars where humans don't live.
I agree, but only because in practice the choice is usually a little different:

- always pay $500 vs. pay a random amount between $100 and $500, except when you have a really heavy month and you pay $3,000.

Utility pricing without the ability to set caps is problematic.
The service looks awesome - congrats!

You can add Email & Password style accounts super easily using https://www.dailycred.com (this is my startup). You can use it just like your other OAuth providers, so it would really only take a few minutes to set up.
Yes, let's just keep infantilizing and disenfranchising young people for more and more of their lives, that's sure to work.

The main reason teen rebellion and delinquency are issues in the first place is because young people are already held back for too long.
I'd love to see other cars in their testing group too. Don't get me wrong, I harbor no ill will towards Prius or their drivers, I just don't fit in them.

Public transit with these installed would be fabulous as well. You'd still need someone behind the wheel as backup, but it would be great to have a potentially tireless public transit system.
I am pretty sure you will have more suggestions coming up, but what do you see lacking in "free" offerings like: http://whoreadme.com/

The core concept is akin to pixel tracking done by a lot of companies for their analytics: however in my personal experience, for the specific situation of cold calling you describe, I have had better results with embedding two links into my email along the lines of:

1. "Let me know you are interested"

2. "Let me know you are not interested"

This has worked better than passive pixelling as you are involving the person in the interaction directly instead of guessing what to do.

You give them better control of their decisions.

For example, a lot of email clients do cache pixels and you won't know if it was the client that fired the pixel or the person, but you can control that via a link. IN the native pixelling approach, you could end up cold calling (now over the phone) a person who was not interested in you but you thought so as their email client cached the pixel.

People who see, even in the future, forging (or not) a relation with you will click a link, however busy they are. Those who do not, do not seem to be good leads anyways.

I would love to hear your opinions on this.

Industries that will be disrupted:
- Taxi, shuttles, buses and limo services
- Truck drivers, Delivery, Food delivery (auxilary: train and air transportation as well)
- Insurance industry
- Fleet management (time to write an app for managing 1000+ automated self-driving vehicles)
- Policing. We won't need the CHP much in the future

And that's just from ~20 seconds off the top of my head. I'm glad lawmakers are allowing the future to happen and I hope this puts pressure on other states to join in.

>RE unit testing: I realize it's not that widespread. But anyone developing software and not unit testing is doing it wrong. They should take all the time they waste on code reviews and instead spend it on building out their test suite.

This is a very good point. If there are very basic things not being done (or done well) focusing on those things is more important than ceremonial code-reviews - and in the beginning it seems code-reviews are often only ceremonial and some shops never get past this stage. I've never seen them work really well aside from cases where they happen organically between two co-workers who like and respect each other.
You don't have to subscribe wholesale to either approach, and there are lot of ways to combine elements of all-of-the-above when the situation calls for it.

I like the idea of digital brutalism - celebrating the materials, if you will - but the damn thing still has to be easy to use. It'll always be a moving target and that's good.

I walk past their office everyday on the way to mine in Austin. Used the article as an excuse to see what they do... looks like this couple should have used a service like this since the airline does not guarantee safety.
I feel that you have misunderstood what we have here. I agree that "true" understanding requires is almost an impossible problem to solve due to the fact that it requires context that is only available to the individual. However that level of understanding is not really necessary for applications today. What we are aiming to provide is a system that will allow developers to have natural language queries as their input and have all the pieces of information required for their application extracted. Secondly, the name "natural language understanding" is given to a large area of computer science ranging from sentiment analysis to information extraction. Many of the areas do not even involve deep understanding of contextual meaning in the way you describe. That however does not diminish the importance of any of these fields nor does it eliminate them from the the umbrella of natural language understanding.

Point me a doc(or a tiny little red note link, like in the 32 bit installer download page) where 10gen says that you will need a dedicated MongoDB DBA to maintain production server. You see 10gen marketing machine have successfully created a perception that MongoDB is so much magical that you don't have to worry about data. New programmers with less knowledge in RDBMS are buying this argument. And most of the time they start into development just after reading basic tutorial. This the problem GP is trying to address.
I don't buy that it's "the simplest". Just about every major Linux distro ships w/ SFTP enabled out-of-the-box. How is installing an FTP server easier than just using the built-in SFTP server?

I've been trying to actively discourage the use of FTP for the last 10+ years. It's not an option because it passes passwords in-the-clear. Protocols that pass cleartext authentication should just be off the table today.
An interesting article about human behavior. How nice. However, I don't see a categorical disproof in there of the idea that saving lives is something worth spending time and money on, so could you take a minute and connect the dots for us plebs? Thanks.
We think human lives are priceless because we like to believe that everyone is unique. There is no warranty replacement for children born defective; nor could you replace them when they break, go missing, etc.
How big are you? The latest Prius is essentially a full-size sedan in terms of the front seat. What kind of car do you prefer?

It's hard to imagine that this tech won't be available for all classes of cars once it is sufficiently well tested.
Does anyone else find it amazing that we have driverless cars but yet, most subways and trains still require drivers/operators?

You don't have a child, do you? Are you an only child? Would you admit it now if you are?
I predict that we will have to legislate Driverless as the default state of all vehicles within the coming decade. why? because at greater than 10% penetration of automated vehicles, those people still in 'manual' mode will become more and more reckless.
would you expect someone who writes articles about DBMSes, or comments in a thread about them, to understand that memory mapped file size is (a) not necessarily limited to address space and (b) 64 bit on 90% of the installations of even 32-bit mongo db?
Well realistically they would be courting extreme controversy if they went on record saying they believed that Madeleine hadn't been abducted.
Facts about code reviews.

1. According to research, there is no more cost-effective method of bug detection known than careful code review. (Steve McConnell's Rapid Development cites internal IBM statistics, but I completely believe it.) This is before you get to any other benefits, such as cross training, code consistency, etc.

2. According to widely reported experience for over 50 years, there is no faster way to get a lot of programmers upset than to review their code.

Therefore a primary goal in code review is to avoid conflict. The following principles have been found to help.

1. Do not involve management. When people have reason to believe that their manager will see the result of code review, the odds of defensive behavior skyrockets.

2. Review only small pieces. If you find a problem in a small piece, it can be easily fixed, you move on. Reviewing a big piece is a lot more work, and fixing even a minor design flaw can be a lot of work to redo.

3. Make reviews fast. If you don't want people to write a lot of code without getting any of it reviewed, then you cannot make them take a long time to review said code.

4. Make reviews required. If people don't have to do them, they won't. And the ones who are most likely to skip are the ones whom, 6 months later, you'll wish had.

In this spirit you might consider http://code.google.com/p/rietveld/ as a way to make sure that your team reviews early, reviews often, and reviews in small chunks. (Some will love it, some will hate it. Your source code quality will improve though.)
Is this an argument that a human driver is required? To me, it sounds like if there's nothing you can do, the computer's job is much easier, not harder.
In fact -- why do we even have browsers?

If only there were some popular write-once run-anywhere VM, we could pretty easily get away from this weird document-oriented web thing forever.

Staying in Union Square SF tonight. Any interesting hacker gatherings tonight? Anybody want to get a beer and talk startups? I'll be around tomorrow until about 11ish as well.
I would argue the opposite. A lot of people don't pursue worthy causes because they're unaware of causes worth pursuing. Plus, it's only on the 404 page.

Learn everyday
I am sure they are earnest in their efforts, I chuckled when I read "Some of our engineers have been working on this problem for two years, ..." because I know engineers who have been working on that problem for 20 years and they still haven't got it right. One of them (at Intel in the '80s) had a poster that said "Time flies like an Arrow, Fruit Flies like a Banana." which captured the challenge for him. One of the founders of Android, Rich Miner, was an Amiga guy that I knew peripherally through the developers network. He did a company called WildFire which was an assistant that would be on the phone with you that you could ask things of or make requests too. Also felt the problem space was huge, then there were no less than three Phd's at Google who gave a tech talk on the Goog-411 project where they were listening to people ask for phone numbers and trying to figure out what number they were looking for. (one domain of questions so almost like cheating).

Perhaps they just write optimistically, I am excited to seem them working on the problem (I'd suggest they search blekko since we can add slashtags and do better domain search but that is just me). Having seen the folks who have run at this problem and been knocked on their backsides I have tremendous respect for taking on a really really hard problem. Can't wait for the beta.

For sure driving the car fast is one of the most fun things!
What do the regulations allow that's not allowed today? Google has already driven 300k+ miles autonomously, with a driver behind the wheel as a backup operator.

Also, what's the benefit to the owner/operator? Are you allowed to pay less attention to the road so you can be doing something else 99% of the time? Are you allowed to talk on the phone? If neither of these is true, then the legislation might put the cars' developers on more sure legal footing, but would appear to negate the primary utility of an autonomous vehicle.
I wish there was something I could hook up to my electronic life (calendars, search engines, knowledge stores, bug tracking, etc) and send IMs to from all devices. Like Siri, but more useful and more connected. A general, all around AI instead of a glorified Google search with speech.

Example commands I wish I could do (some would require me hosting a server to communicate with my home, but I'm okay with this):

"Lock my doors."
"I'm going home." (Notify people, set AC, bring up a map, etc.)
"What's the weather tonight?"
"Write 'happy birthday!' on my friends' Facebook walls each time it's their birthday."
"Ask my girlfriend what's for dinner when she gets on Skype."
...and so on...

That said, I'm super excited about this and would love to see Maluuba's work accessible on all devices so I can just IM the service instead of using a phone when I'm at home.

I might have guessed (incorrectly) that the reason you would suggest the cloud over home is security. Is it easier for me to secure my laptop behind my home ISP connection (by just disconnecting it; or relying on the ISP's DMZ, NAT and the lack of any programs listening for connections) than it is to secure a cloud server that is always on, always connected and always listening for connections?

Currently we support relative to the current time ("three hours from now") or absolute ("six pm"). We'd be happy to extend it however if we saw demand for extra functionality :) .
Actually, I've worked for a company that specializes in finding topics based on your interests. http://primal.com/
We normalize relative times so that they're absolute. So, "remind me to marinate the chicken in 2 hours" will get normalized to 6:00 PM (assuming it's being said at 4:00 PM)
