What concerns me about vim emulation modes is the uncanny valley mentioned by another poster. Working in a second-class interface doesn't sound that great.

However, that's pretty strong praise, so I promise I'll give it a shot before trying to birth a new editor into the world.
As one of the 75% of blacks who is lactose intolerant, I can certainly sympathize with bifrost's post, although I don't want to deprive others of milk products if they enjoy it.

As I was growing up, milk, being recognized as healthy part of a diet, was basically forced on me during school - okay, not literally, but the school lunches only provided milk or chocolate milk, the water fountains didn't work reliability, and the cafeteria staff would always look down on my if I brought my own juice. Sometimes it was easier to just gulp down the milk and then deal with stomach cramps/diarrhea during my afternoon classes followed by rushing home to use the bathroom before I exploded.

One of the best parts about going away to college was being able to select my own beverages with my meal. If you want to have milk, that's fine with me, just don't force me to have to consume it.
Yes. I remember being so excited that the option for pinging with particular bit patterns finally came in handy when I was debugging a new T1.
Here's another (extremely catchy) "What American English sounds like to non-English speakers" attempt.

That may be part of it, but another large part of the difference is that, as previously stated, turning milk into cheese destroys lactose. You get fewer calories from the cheese because microbes already used up some of the calories that were originally in the milk in order to turn it into cheese, and thus those calories are no longer available for you.

I think minimum hourly wage restrictions are bad. Such restrictions hurt low-skilled workers the most, by denying them a change of getting gradual improvement in experience while doing low-paying jobs.
Ideally any new system should be made UI agnostic, provided a simple default UI with few features readily accessible (perhaps accessible only though a command line of sorts), and allow users of your editor to craft their own frontends, be they TTY or web-based, or anything they may dream up in the future.

Just building the web-based editor that you want this year may be fine for this year, but I am not convinced we should be putting much effort into designing systems that don't learn from their predecessors. The classic editors can feel rickety today because they were made with the TTY, and arguably only the TTY, in mind. A system designed today should keep that in mind, and I think make future-proofing it's first and for-most concern.

I think it is also really hard to justify supporting fewer features than classical editors do today. Removing the ability to implement technical features so that you can add support for UI features seems like a step backward to me. I don't think there is much (or anything) that you couldn't add to Vim or Emacs, the question is just more along the lines of "can you make it look how you want it too". An editor designed with UI agnosticy (is that a word?) as a first class feature should not have this problem.

Actually, Skydrive works pretty well on OS X too. I'm pleasantly impressed with it, to be honest.
As someone that does the same I think it's to do with "ignoring" the music. I can listen to the same song for ~3 days at a time (and the same artist for longer, up to a week) but I will often find myself not realising I have music on or be sitting in silence and not notice.

For example from October 20th to October 22nd I listened to Kanye West 200 times in a row and I've listened to "Bob Dylan – All Along The Watchtower" 717 times in total. Music directly reflects my mood so if I'm happy for 6 hours and find a song that I find to be happy then I have no problem with it on for that entire time.

Here's a graph of my listening habits from lastgraph[1] that will show big patches of a specific artist: http://lastgraph3.aeracode.org/static/graphs/graph_228708.pd...

Automatic Action Recognition in Video Surveillance
I don't think it's a bad deal for the designers as long as they aren't spending huge amounts of time on each idea. It's probably less effort than I spend on a proposal and I'm not guaranteed to get any work from that.

in my experience the majority of the submissions on 99designs first round are very quick drafts with clip art that probably took the designer 5 minutes. There are some very original ideas mixed in as well too but I'd say at least 75% you can tell are just rough ideas and you can look at artist profiles to see they submit basically a similar logo frequently.

I think the service is interesting because nowhere else can you just get a total brainstorm of so many ideas. Then when you pick one, they get the $350 prize, but they may also pick you up as a client to refine the logo or do more work with the site.
To the professional designers here, how much guaranteed prize money would it take for you to participate in crowdsourcing contests for app design?

Sites like Folyo are a good idea, and I'm happy to see so many designers on HN, but as someone who's worked with crowdsourcing sites and pro designers one-on-one, it's much better as a client to have multiple designers working on your idea simultaneously based on a single crowdsourcing design brief than finding good designers on Dribbble/Folyo, building relationships with individuals who may or may not be a good fit, and then managing relationships with the candidates who happen to be available and oh they want to get paid $150/hr up front for work that isn't guaranteed to work for you, be on time, on budget, etc.

I would much rather pay $10,000 guaranteed if it meant having Folyo level designers compete to deliver something based on a design brief. Overall, I think crowdsourcing is a much better arrangement than pay 'N pray. It leads to a wider range of options, more creativity, and ultimately gives clients better results.
I just want to mention every movie ever translated to a digital format, every song rendered as an mp3, and every image or sound ever made digital is in effect a very long number in binary form that can be interpreted by decoders to produce copyrighted material. Are all those numbers illegal to distribute, or even copy if you already have an instance of such a number? That is a lot of numbers. Big numbers too.
+1 to that. Among all the people I've ever known (in India) only 2 people are lactose intolerant. Indian society has, historically, placed a lot of importance on the cow and milk. Indian mythology has rich references to milk and other dairy products for eg. Samudra Manthan [1], Krishna the cowherd [2]. If we were to consider the level of medicine practiced in India (see [3] and [4], for eg.), one would imagine that any real problem of such widespread nature would be heavily studied and discussed about.

Impossible. The whole lesson of statistics is that computing probabilities is an intricate process. It will never be intuitive. I learn to throw a ball at a target on intuition, but I will never learn to launch a rocket at Mars on intution.

At best, it can become intuitive to ask the right skeptical questions when being shown a claim.

I'd speculate that it's generally easier for people to not decide and conserve their willpower, but we still gravitate towards ‘decision mode’ when about to do something that looks irreversible. Two common cases:

a) Easily reversible or just insignificant action, no commitment—you offer a free product or trial, or a paid service that could be easily cancelled. Long copy would turn on ‘decision mode’, but we may want to avoid that, so less info is probably better.

Example: Lots of ‘Web 2.0’ services.

b) Not easily reversible action—money are required up front, or you're upselling something to free users. Regular people (not yet fans of your product) are likely to consider different options in this case. Long and good copy, therefore, would present more and more reasons to pay.

Example: Apple website.

That said, I'd like to see a study too.
Depends on the nature of "something" and the value of "necessary". If somebody argued that to avoid global overpopulation and Malthusian catastrophe, we are to kill every 10th child born - you would probably reject this, even though the argument would be "it is necessary to avoid a global scale catastrophe".

So far all Malthusian predictions of global scale exhaustion reliably turned false and in most cases, laughably so, in hindsight. This teaches us that such claims should be taken with extreme skepticism and drastic measures proposed under these claims are most probably not justified.

This, of course, does not contradict the usability of technology (or non-technology means) for greater efficiency of energy use, conservation, etc. There's nothing wrong with recycling, reuse and energy saving. It just doesn't need to be turned to extremes under the slogans of future catastrophe that would never happen.
I also hear that since smoking is now taboo and smokers now gather outside in well-defined areas, smoking is a great networking opportunity. You end up talking to people you'd never talk to otherwise, with the built in opener of bumming a cigarette or asking for a light.

Then that's really it, isn't it. 99designs and sites like it have perfectly reasonable use cases.

For my money, Almond's unsweetened flavour profile wins hands down. It has 1/2 the calories of "unsweetened" Silk. Here are some data for those interested in the comparison. The issue is that most people don't understand what they are drinking.

Almond milk has 60 cal per 12 oz,

Vanilla Silk has 150, "Unsweetened" silk has 120.

Coca Cola has ~145

He also said he should have been more frugal with the money they had, and focused more on developing product instead of chasing investors. I agree.

As an investor I'd look for a business like this to be break-even after 12 months then aim for 100% growth funded from cashflow or 200% with a modest additional investment. VCs will be interested and bring big dollars after you've reached a critical market threshold, but in the mean time you're building a real business.

Cash invested should match your ability to use it effectively, but as in this case it can distort your priorities by making your day more about getting more investment than creating a great business.

Amir, stick with it. Focus on building a rapidly-growing busines. If you do need more investment, keep it to the minimum and be really clear on what you're going to achieve with that capital. If you're demos are already that good, you should be able to find the money.

I know (not well anymore) someone who owned a business (multiple I think) who's said that same saying and I'm sure I've read it somewhere else. I always assumed it meant: when you have a business treat yourself as an employee and pay yourself so that you don't use all the money (on business needs is all I can think of: staplers, paper, etc) and can pay your bills.

I might have misunderstood it or whatever but I always thought it made a bit of sense since you need to take some money home at the end of the day.

You'll also see other surgically obtained Western facial features, such as a more elongated face and larger noses, in Korean celebrities. I'm not a facial structure expert so I can't scientifically enunciate it, but they don't look anything like your average Korean. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if they're modifying their foreheads too, to look like Tom Cruise in that picture you linked.

This might be because the current definition of attractiveness/manliness in males is still a Western look so. Eventually, if they keep pushing it towards the Asian look, those modifications might slowly disappear.

Apparently they also do this in Japan: http://izismile.com/2012/09/26/donut_head_freaks_from_japan_...
But I don't think that's inspired by Westerners.
Just curious, does anyone use sites like odesk / elance etc to find well paying contracts? They seem to be mostly full of asian contracting teams bidding bottom dollar on most projects.
I wouldn't do that if I were you. The quality is likely to be about the same as what you can get on outsourcing sites and if that is good enough (and it might be) then there is no reason to wait, potentially for years.

I have a laptop, desktop, tablet and phone. Honestly a mouse or track pad is easier to with a desktop or laptop. Especially for desktops which are having bigger and more screens, using the hand to reach the screen is tougher and tiring. btw, with touch you can have only one click. the mouse can have two or three clicks. Anyway, microsoft mouse is the best out there, it is simple, it works on all surfaces, imho it is better than the apple mouse. Why would microsoft want to kill the best product they ever invented, the microsoft mouse?
Early on in my career, I was slowly switching from graphic / web design to web programming. I used to spend quite a bit of time in a couple well known graphic design forums. I had a fairly intense day job, so it's not like I was there 10 hours a day, but I would chime in from time to time for my own interest as well as looking for people with programming questions.

I mostly did it for my own learning. I'd been picking up very small freelance projects from an independent web host as the time, and every time I found an interesting question on the designer forums, I'd do the research and come up with an answer.

In time, I became one of the main web programming resources in that community. I wasn't necessarily a very good programmer, but I'd always dig in and find the answer and try to find a way to present it well to a non-programmer group. As someone who used to be a designer, I knew how to approach the question and answer in a way that would benefit whomever asked.

Over time as the designers in that community got further in their careers, they would come to me, whether for work or advice. Some came to me back then. Some, years later. I had a potential client pop up about 6 months ago (at least 8 years since I'd stopped visiting that forum regularly) by way of a recommendation from one of those old forum members with whom I'd worked years ago.

I would say the majority of the success I've found in my career stemmed from those relationships. A lot of whom are still friends and colleagues to this day.

I'm not necessarily recommending you start lurking around design forums. But the fact is, there are many industries that are in need of some outside knowledge. I'm also not recommending you start spamming forums. What I mean to say is that it may be possible to find potential clients as a member of a non-programming community, provided you're a reliable and friendly member of said community.

This is a very fortunate time to be a programmer. A solid majority of people in the world still have no idea how their phones and computers do what they do, and a good many of those people would benefit greatly by knowing someone who does. And some of them may have some work that needs to be done, or know someone who needs work done.
Have another comparison. I have severe, chronic back pain every single day of my life. I've had a bulging disc in my lower back, L5, for damn near a decade and on many days, it's just about all I can think of. I plan my days around my back pain. I make life choices around my back pain. I want it to go away, very very badly.

So, on a scale of 1-10 in terms of "just how painful is it", where 10/10 = you just severed your femur, I'd rate my back pain a 6/10. I'd rate my inability to find a local venue for an indie flick a 1/10. In other words, my inability to see indie flicks at cool bars around town doesn't even register with my psyche.

It turns out that lots of people have back pain. If I had to guess, probably more people have back pain than want to find a local venue to see indie flicks. I'd rate the back pain market size a 7/10. Not sure on the market size for finding local venues for indie flicks.

I'm not surprised. The English lyrics are, frankly, a little awkward. Nena's accent could be seen as endearing, but at the same time, it sounds a tad stilted, and nowhere near as fluid as the original German. It's a dance tune, and once you know what the song is about, it's just much more fun to hear it in the language that sounds more polished and lets you tune out the words so you can, well, dance.

At the end of the day, lyrics are a much smaller part of the musical experience than people give them credit for.

Then again, I have a very easy time dissociating lyrics (and their meaning) from the rest of the music, so maybe that's just me. This doesn't always happen, but it's not unusual for me to listen to a song enough times to internalize the syllables and sing along, and still not stop and think about what the words actually mean (even in English). It may sound odd at first, but when you think about it, you probably have the same experience when you go to the opera - try and make out the words of Handel's "The Messiah", an English opera, and you'll see what I mean[1]!

(And now that I think about it, how many people know what the verses of 'Born in the USA' are really about?)

Also, I did already know that the German version was more popular, so it's hard to be sure I'm not just rationalizing that knowledge after-the-fact! :-)
