Why would you limit how many models people can add to a free account? You're basically telling people not to share.

If I'm paying for a Pro account but hit 101 models, my only option is to shell out 14 times more money for a Business account? While only getting 10 times more storage? That's a pretty shitty deal.

Get rid of the storage limits completely. The Pro pricing is fine. The ability to store models that aren't public is worth 9€ (~$12) per month.

The Business pricing would be fine if you were offering extra value. You commented that you're working on a Shapeways tie-in. This would be great to allow free and Pro users a way of ordering models that they can access. Give Business users a storefront.
Take a look at the introduction video on the project website. This will help to understand how it works
It's so tempting to say this is just sensationalist hyperbole...but go watch the beginning of "Pirates of Silicon Valley"...the parallels are uncanny.
Helmets (including motorbike helmets) are designed to protect you from a vertical fall of about 2 meters and hitting your head at that speed. If you have a collision at 50km/h, chances are you'll be hitting the ground from a height similar to that.

I don't know how many such collisions you've been in, but I've been in about 6 motorbike accidents of fairly light severity, including hitting a car at about 50km/h. I bounced off the front of that car and landed head-first on the road. But I had no injuries at all - in large part because I was wearing a helmet.

That said, I'm not in favour of making bicycle helmets mandatory, and I think cyclists should be allowed to use the pavement for safety, as long as they are courteous and don't go too fast (no more than 10km/h or so) when close to pedestrians.
What's even funnier is that it doesn't block the PS Vita browser like that, but then the actual page it loads is completely broken.
Yes, i'm quite aware (which is why i said "used to be"), I was simply explaining the quote in the MPEP that was cited by the parent, which was part of a discussion of what the law of obviousness used to be.
Yes, useless was a bad choice of words here.
I should have said "stupid".

Just because I was curious, I looked up some mobile site testers. These do a much better job than the Google one:

Glad to know I'm not alone.

It seems there's a spammer who's latched onto my domain. They're sending out emails to thousands of people from <some random alphanumeric string>@<my domain>. Every email sent to my domain ends up in my inbox so I get all the bounces.

I've mitigated this somewhat by setting up SPF on my domain. I use Google Apps so this article was handy: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1...
As far as I understand international cases, in most countries they are only enforcable if the things that you did were also illegal in your home country. So if it's OK to do this in the us, it doesn't seem to be enforcable here (but IANAL).
Make Your Customers Pay
"Dr. No" had its London premiere on Oct. 5, 1962
An excellent campaign from the champion Google. If I were an entrepreneur, I would suck it all up.
I had the same opinion of your parent poster, so I tried my unobfuscated mail, and now I've got the same issue as you.

While I've trained Gmail to mark delivery status notifications as spam automatically, it's frustrating to go from maybe 5-10 real, actual emails a day and no spam at all to over ten thousand delivery status notifications a week (spammers have started using thousands of 8-character hex@domain combination addresses, and everything from my domain directs to me to catch real people I meet making typos).

I also sometimes worry that I may have to deal with some form of poorly-orchestrated vigilante retribution and/or potential blacklisting even though it's clear that the mail is not actually coming from me.
Do you know of any that have a semantic role labeling feature? I've been looking for one for a while with no luck.
Actually I'm using Chromium, Version 20.0.1132.47... but it works now.

I would recommend getting rid of the styling options and let people style in their own CSS.
Here is how I see this - the age of entrepreneurs depends on level of expertise and previous experience needed to run a business:

- for Web / consumer startup the majority of entrepreneurs are in 20s

- for enterprise enterprise applications startup is seems like entrepreneurs in 30s

- for enterprise infrastructure startup is seems like entrepreneurs are in 40s

As of now the most of growth is in Web / consumer startup so it seems like all entrepreneurs needs to be in 20s.

I created a sub-reddit some time ago for bootstrapeprs. Wasn't sure if there was enough demand for it though. http://www.reddit.com/r/bootstrappers/
As a user, I'd almost always rather see the same content stacked on the page i.e. section 1, section 2, section 3, than in a three-part slider.
Given how many messages you sent with the same tone as when you replied to me, I am not surprised you feel that way.

I did give you the link you asked for and full explanation, but instead of discussing those, you're deriving the discussion with complains, which IMO, aren't valid. I'm guessing, and I might be wrong, but I'm guessing, it's partially because you do not accept my point of view as even possible.

I don't see any insult in my messages, by the way. Oh and since I've been upvoted back, I can actually reply now. Yay.
What I find amusing is that 'robotics' have been "the PC all over again" for a couple of decades at least now :-)

So I don't like the hyperbole, gives folks too much ammo if it doesn't develop quickly. That said though, the same people who were building computers from kits are doing 3D printers, its fun to watch.
I think you are giving Masnick too much credit in his argument. It looks like he confused general copyright enforcement guidelines with specific compulsory rate setting guidelines. Sloppy at best, muckraking at worst.

I would be curious to know, though, how often compulsory rates are set and in what specific circumstances, if you know.
Yup, pretty easy! They have easy to use APIs and probably libraries for most major languages, so it should only be a couple of lines of code to actually send an email.

As your thread-sibling notes, Sender Policy Framework solves this by using DNS records to state which mail servers are permitted to send mail from your domain.
Looks like more of a how-to-start-a-business coaching. I think that's different; I'm looking for a day-to-day ‘companionship’ rather than coaching.
Any other Aussies going? (from Adelaide here)
I'm not sure how it's an example of regulatory capture, and even so how it's relevant to a discussion about copyright law.
I mean, I am not against helmets if it makes you or anyone else feel safer when biking or cycling, but making it mandatory is stupid. It is up to everyone to take their own responsibility and assume the consequences of their actions. I am appalled that in a country like the US which WAS known to value individual responsibility it has become mandatory to wear helmets when cycling.
question/poll: at what price point will you buy a 3d printer for your home?
I guess years of flash animated banner ads have made users blind to any animated content on a web page.

On a side note, if you intend to implement a navigation for your slider (like dots or page numbers), I'd highly recommend triggering it on hover and not on click. It's really painful as a user to have to point precisely at a small 8*8 pixel area, stop moving, and then click, in order to change the slide. Hover triggering is more indulgent in terms of precision (like on Chrome's web store). Of course, making the area bigger is also recommended.
You had a choice between several types of C compiler: lousy, expensive, or lousy and expensive!

When Linux came out I was kind of stunned you got gcc thrown in like it was no big deal.
See, here you seem to be generalizing from "my experience with traffic in SF" to "drivers in the US".

For what it's worth, I found drivers in the Bay Area to be more timid and hesitant (and therefore more unpredictable) than anywhere else I've driven in North America.
Exactly! If a business puts important information/message behind 2 clicks on a slider, that's stupid.
If you use these things, you are a bad person and should feel bad.

Korg is a perfect example of why you shouldn't use them. All of Korg's product images have been on rotating sliders for years. When I want to take a closer look at how the controls or I/O ports are laid out, the last place I look is korg.com because there is no way to make the damn things stay still.

Good design solves problems. It does not draw attention to itself.
Isn't that against the point of Bootstrap? The fact Bootstrap is opinionated is what makes it's rapid development.

Years ago I wasn't too careful with my email address. After using the same accounts for some time and eventually moving on to something a little more memorable (presentable, etc.) I decided to try and take care of it by not posting it anywhere without at least minimum obfuscation, and not signing up for anything I didn't explicitly trust. Four years on, and my spam folder gets at most 2 messages a month. A couple are some stupid pharma-spam, but most of them come from when my grandmother's email list got scraped. So hey, it's not bad. I hardly even have to check the spam folder for false positives, and may even turn it off completely.
That's exactly why I use a combination method on my personal website[0].

By default it uses the JS method for a clickable link, but if someone doesn't have JS enabled it degrades to "Email: nick at this domain (For a clickable link, turn on javascript)".

It relies on the assumption that 'someone not using javascript' == 'someone computer-savvy enough to figure out what that means', but for the people that are likely to be reading my site, I think that's a pretty safe assumption to make.

The PS Vita browser is an oldish Webkit build with JS 1.7, half-implemented HTML5, and a handful of features disabled. Its user agent is something like "Mozilla/5.0 (Playstation Vita 1.50) AppleWebKit/531.22.8 (KHTML, like Gecko)﻿ Silk/3.2﻿", and it probably advertises a feature set close to Chrome builds from about a year ago.

I'm not too surprised that it doesn't support this gimmicky site, nor that it slipped through the feature/agent sniffing.
My vision isn't very good. The text becomes comfortable to read at around 175%-200% zoom level. The default size is so far outside that range that I have no qualms about describing it as unreadable, even if it's not literally true and I could read it with sufficient concentration.

Just to be clear, I don't think the problem is the tiny font size as such. It's the tiny size combined with gratuitously unscrollable and unscalable layout. It's a similar problem to many default themes for blogs disabling zooming on mobile browsers for no good reason. This got so bad that the Android browser sprouted an accessibility option to force zooming to always be enabled.
I'm mixed on using these buttons. I've seen people in user research tests use them well, and then I've seen people use them horribly in such a situation too. However, there are times when they're perfectly acceptable.

I've forked and pull requested.

The background states were light at the top and darker at the bottom giving a button feel, rather than an inset feel. :)

They must be seeing a large number of chargebacks which means visa or mastercard would be behind them to get this set right by the 2nd or 3rd month.

I wonder how they managed to have the site up for so long - may be some kind of a high risk merchant account provider who approved their payment gateway.
SSDs are still considered 'luxury' items, like $1000 graphics cards. Don't forget that a 60GB SSD costs roughly the same as a 1TB HDD, and people do like bigger numbers.

People in the market for new PCs would typically start off with a HDD, before shelling out more money for an SSD.

$400 with the precision of the MakerBot Replicator 2 (EDIT: 100 micron)
I'm not so sure. 15 years ago there was a lot of hype going around about the Java, the "Network Computer" and such initiatives. Sure they didn't work out, but a lot of people and companies believed in them, so it didn't seem so far-fetched.
Thanks !
Will let you know as soon as i release it. :)
> I told them both I'd work for low/no pay remotely to prove myself before I relocate.

Interns get paid more than "low/no pay". I can't know this for sure, but that point might have came across as "desperate for experience" rather than "excited about [company] in specific".

Don't undersell yourself; and as others have pointed out -- build something to show to the founders (prototype, experiment, or just something they would find neat).
For me it was the 500 dollar mark. So far it's managed to make some trinkets and a car part that didn't exist but I needed to fix the electrical system in a 20 year old car. I wouldn't say it's "paid for itself" yet but it's certainly such an interesting thing that I don't mind.
Linus' First Linux Post, 20 Years Ago Today - Slashdot
Android Tip: Dynamic List
To be honest, I slightly prefer HN's system of using the article's actual headline, as this demonstrates that HN is not trying to impose its opinion on articles.

The complaint about uninformative headlines should really be directed at the source article's editor.
Nobody else think its lame that we OTA updates for betas, but not final? Grrr.

Facebook, Twitter Growth in China Has Lots of Caveats
And, by posting high resolution photos, the NY Post has ensured that anyone with access to a 3D printer can easily replicate them for free :P.

Not that it really matters since keys have been and pretty much always were security theatre from the very beginning.
Reforming the Patent System Toward a Minimalist System
Thank you. It was annoying that software update can't differentiate beta and release versions of 6.0. It kept saying "already up to date" but I was too lazy to download the IPSW directly. Not so lazy now.
Forget the 3D printer -- you can cut these by hand with a Pak-A-Punch (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjhZdqCnrZA ).
considering a makerbot2x ~ http://store.makerbot.com/replicator2x.html is $2800 and cheaper than high end laptops, quality of materials like PLA with 100micron resolution, not long ~ http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2012/09/19/high-resolution-make...
Replicator 2 is actually at 100 micron not 10. None of the FDM printers can get 10 micron that I'm aware of. The printrbot that I got for $500 I've been able to get to do 200 micron pretty easily (in fact it prints best at 200 micron). Though the printrbot has needed a bit more fiddling than I believe the makerbot systems need, it's certainly heading towards your direction.

Can anyone elaborate on PG's comment at the end of the first linked article?

I also skipped San Jose. San Jose calls itself the capital of Silicon Valley, but when people in the Valley use the phrase "the city," they mean San Francisco. San Jose is a dotted line on a map.

He makes it sound like nothing happens there, but if so, why do they claim to be the capital of SV?
They forgot one other important reason, most of the time they thrash the CPU. I have opened sites in a tab, with the intention of coming back later to explore more, only to later hear my mac book fan running loudly. I immediately shut down the tab.

The author seems to emphasize about practicing TDD and that it will produce LESS bugs which is not what TDD is all about. TDD is about designing your architecture doing your "tests first".

On the other hand, some developers can write code first then unit tests later which can also produce less bugs but this is not TDD.
If you lie about what you're selling, then that's fraud.
Why is this post not full of data and heatmaps to support this case? All I see is a "conversion" expert trumpeting anecdotal and gut opinions, without any supporting data one way or the other.

I'm not saying he is necessarily wrong, but this is an extremely broad generalization that is not backed up with any evidence in the post itself.
Between 500 and 1000 dollars, most probably. With good speed and precision, if possible, and open tools.
I have been asked, personally, why I don't make my email address clear on e.g. my about page before. I use discovery of my email address as FizzBuzz for my attention. If you're insufficiently invested in wanting to talk to me to find my email address, we will both be happier if you don't email me.
Thanks for the link! I've reconfigured my domains DNS, if this works I am forever in your debt. I'll pass this on to a friend who also has the same issue, hopefully I can stop wasting my time getting rid of all this spam now.
I'm also finding pass-by-value multiprocessing with Redis to be extremely effective for going wide on I/O-bound problems. It's just so easy ...
I'd guess that its unlikely anyone can pick out the next Steve Jobs. I don't think even Steve Jobs could have predicted how successful he would have been. There's just no consistent or solid enough data that can help in predicting how successful a person can be.

When you judge someone, the best indicator that they can be successful is that they have past successes. Hence the criteria that all VCs, employers, and YC look at is skewed towards previous achievements. Ie. university, previous companies, current traction, etc. I doubt even a young Steve Jobs could have shit talked his way into a YC meeting without a prototype and traction.
Hopefully soon! I would also love if they were fast (like <1 min for an iPhone case fast). I wonder if the future will be extrusion or the photo-sensitive liquids that some printers are using.
Oracle Takes On Amazon With New Cloud Service
Many CLECs formed in the post-Telecom Act "bubble" operated using the unbundled Network Element Platform (UNE-P), in which they resold the ILECs' service by leasing the underlying [assets]. This greater dependency on the ILECs made these "UNE-P CLECs" extremely vulnerable to changes in the UNE-P rules.

In the meantime, the largest facilities-based CLECs, MFS and TCG, had IPOs and then were acquired by Worldcom and AT&T, respectively, in 1996 and 1998 as those long distance companies prepared to defend their business customers from the Regional Bell Operating Companies' (RBOC) incipient entry into the long distance business.
Important FCC Rulings

With the Triennial Review in August 2003, the FCC began to rewrite a large portion of the rules implemented by the Telecommunications Act of 1996...

And that was that. The cable and telco's own washington. The mechanisms and the game are the same. There will never be a viable business that leases another businesses core assets. Copyright and Fiber are interchangeble, one is just fact/history. These special interests are legalized, entrenched monoloply/cartels. The entire copyright industry is. (elsevier, edu publishers at all levels, et al).
There is no 'grace' period of 1 month, it is technically 0 days after job loss or H1B expiry. However, when you enter the US, the Immigration officer at the airport may choose to give you a few days in addition to your H1B expiry date. That said, it is unlikely they will prosecute a H1B holder, if he overstays for a month or so.
Good point, I did miss that.

"Over the next year or two, though, I'm sure there will be plenty of software that I'd like to use, but won't be able to."

FWIW, that's what I thought about my iPad1 when iPad2 came out, and again when New iPad came out. I'm perfectly happy to upgrade when needed (I bought mine early on when they launched here in Australia, so it's over 2 years old now, which is a fairly acceptable lifespan for tech gadgets for me), but so far I've still not bumped into any app I want to run but can't, at least not anything compelling enough to push me to spend money to upgrade. I suspect if I were more of a gamer, I'd be running into performance problems, but for all my use cases, iPad1 seems to be perfectly happy to run that apps I want - and short of some category-changing new app idea, I'm pretty sure all the apps I use will continue to work for quite some time yet, even if they get updated with new versions which require iOS6 which I'll miss out on.

I'm strongly suspecting now that the battery will need replacing before the device becomes unusable due to newer OS and/or software requirements.
Once Walmart stocks it. This will easily take off once it's sold like normal printers at retail chains, even at moderately high price points.
