Indeed, it's worth reading some of the stuff people like Otis Webb Brawley have written on the subject.

>I would rather see high quality writing about how to be successful in raising money and delivering on Kickstarter.

Not every "project" can and should be successful in raising money. The general gist of the example was not "You didn't write about this well enough, so I gave up on you and want to shout about it". Instead, it was "You don't seem to have any idea what you're doing, and here's how I can tell."

If you don't know what the risks, details, or plans are, you can't and don't write about those things. We can tell you don't know about them, and can choose not to support the "project". In this way, your Kickstarter page perfectly represents the project. Why would anyone want to change that?
Guys, a typo on your "overview" page:

... and 2.9% = 30¢ when you successfully ....

This should be 2.9% + 30¢ I believe.
> Are you seriously arguing that it is acceptable to allow your government to censor and (even more) trivially monitor your internet connection for, well, any possible reason, let alone one in support of a policy that wouldn't be particularly effective even in the best case scenario at achieving its goal?

No, they aren't, and nowhere in their comment do they do this. This is a clear false dichotomy argument on your part.
Frankly, depending on the nature of the product, that is the best option.

Projects with small teams who have programmers as audiences can reasonably target POSIX and let their users work out their personal issues themselves. If they are using something particularly weird, that is their own damn fault and they should take responsibility for that. If not, chances are they won't have a problem.

Isn't there some famous quote about the best way to reveal the unjustices of a bad law is to enforce it vigorously?

I've had this perverse fantasy that some asshole would create a patent troll company that goes around specifically targeting Microsoft, Apple, and IBM's customers vigorously (the companies can protect themselves quite well which is why you would want to go after their customers) with patent threats to make them feel some pain from these shitty laws they keep propping up and extending.

Alas, trolls seem to go after small companies and startups (unrelated to the big guys) and MS, Apple, and IBM get by relatively unscathed.

But that's just me pretending to be tough. That doesn't really seem like a nice way of fixing things.

Induction motors are not as power efficient as permanent magnet (PM) motors. Induction motors also weigh more compared to an equivalent PM motor and have more torque at lower RPMs. The reason induction motors are used is that they are cheaper than PM motors due to only using materials like aluminum and copper. PM motors use rare earth metals which are pricey and not great for us since China currently controls most of the world's production supplies.

The accident was just a racing incident IMO. The Delta was taking the normal line a prototype would take to get around a slower GT car. The GT oversteered at the exit of the right hander (you can watch his front tires as he tries to save it) and collected the Delta.
What I found to be crappy was the GT driver flipping off the Delta driver after the collision. He also never went over to talk to Gunnar afterwards (Once of those unwritten rules in racing).

Modern C++ Design (Andrei Alexandrescu)[1] is wonderful, but C++11 has "simplified" much of what he covers. If you want to be able to read the C++11 standard[2] with little effort, Alexandrescu's book is nevertheless a good primer.

The story:
"Since the treehouse was built on crown land, I don’t technically own it, and so its fate is uncertain. For three years I kept the HemLoft secret, but now that I’m finished, I’ve found myself wanting to share it. I even shared it with a big glossy magazine! Coming out of the bush about the HemLoft is fun, however it poses a few problems; if people know about it, they might try to find it. And if the wrong people find it, they may make me take it down."

"It took a lot of work to build it, and I’d rather not take it down, just yet. So I’ve been thinking of ways to expose the HemLoft, while somehow making it legal. To the best of my knowledge, Squatting on Whistler Mountain, beneath some of Western Canada’s most luxurious mega-homes would not be looked favourably upon. However, I’ve thought of a few ideas that might be… I’d like you to read the ideas below and vote on the one you think I should do!"

Also, I had to find a mirror to see it (http://solarburrito.com/blog/2012/04/09/the-hemloft-secret-t...) just to get some ideas on what it was, as well as a map (http://goo.gl/maps/iof7T) of where it was located.

Meh, it is a nice place, neat looking, but I don't see a strong reason to classify it as a national monument or art project worthy of preserving.

What happens in 5 years after the creator has moved to a new thing? Just let it sit there as a derelict building in the middle of a national forest? Why not let people put mobile homes up there then?
It's worth noting that these look very different even between Chrome Developer and Chrome Canary versions. They look like, respectively:

http://i.imgur.com/lFcfv.png

Where Canary also has a special calendar that actually displays which week # it is: http://i.imgur.com/F1HAr.png

----------------------

By the way if anyone is considering running Chrome's Beta or Developer channel, I highly suggest running Canary as well and using it as a default.

Canary, the nightly, is actually much more stable than Beta/Developer, in that when something breaks in the Developer build it also breaks in the Canary build, but Canary is fixed in a day and Developer is fixed in 1-3 weeks.

Great article - off topic and feel free to ignore (assuming the author is listening) - but I find your product, based on your website, very difficult to understand. Description on the homepage left me with questions. Finally went to the tour, and got an idea what it is, but not why I would use it, or how it actually integrates with whatever CMS I'm using.

All that being said, after I figured it out, it looks like a cool product.

Date pickers have been there for quite a while now, they were there this spring. It's a real nuisance because the styling and several other requirements simply weren't ready when we were looking to implement them. Instead, we just reverted to text boxes with a date picker implementation in JS.
We decided to use gyp instead of autoconf and with some tweaking shipped a massive library that builds on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OSX, AIX, HP-UX, Windows w/ it in both 32/64-bit. Definitely not for the feint of heart, but it is possible.
It's going to get messy. I use a lot of hostnames which may end up being TLDs.
I think the use of air pressure to pick up individual sheets of paper goes back to card readers (as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card_reader). See for example http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/documation/M300_TechM... (page 9):

"The riffle air acts on the first half inch of cards in the input hopper so that they stand apart [...] This prevents the cards from sticking together"

"The picker mechanism utilizes a strong vacuum to grasp the bottom card"

So, this might seem creative, but programmers over the age of 50 or so will find it old-fashioned :-)

Also 45% chance of a page with a teared page to me sounds much and much better than 100% of chance of having the back completely cut away from your book.
My unfounded $0.02 is that the best way to beat cancer is the same as the best way to beat HIV: multidrug targeted molecular therapy to prevent resistance. This is currently mostly a pipe dream as our targeted molecular therapies are few.

Early detection is useful if you can treat appropriately. Early detection of HIV (where 'early' means no AIDS-defining illness) is an example here. Early detection is a tool, but it's not the point. It's the debates, but not the election.

Again, I am not a cancer biologist but the parallels have long struck me. The goal IMHO is to make cancer a typical chronic disease that you live with but can tolerate for decades. Perhaps I am not dreaming big enough, but I think this would be a huge stepping stone. If you can cure a cancer already, of course, by all means do so.

Seems like the chief problem here is having to deal with multiple unions. Each union on its own is trying to capture as much producer surplus as they can, but there just isn't enough to go around. In good times, benefits and salaries ratchet up; in leaner times you're stuck with the expensive benefits previously promised so salaries have to go back down again by quite a lot. Or the company folds.
Interestingly, it's been Opera that's taken the lead on all the new UI input elements in the HTML5 spec. Love to see Chrome playing catch up for once.
Android fragmentation was never really about the resolution differences. As stated by the various Nexus 7/10 reviews out there, many Android apps on tablets are just badly resized phone UIs, but they're still functional. Badly coded apps might crash at unexpected resolutions, but most decent developers avoid those mistakes.

The fragmentation comes from the woeful OS update situation (API fragmentation) and there being a ton of different manufacturers each producing something slightly different (hardware fragmentation).

Older iPhones don't support all the features a 5 does (panorama, Siri, etc), but they support the latest APIs. Want to use a ICS TextureView for fast GL rendering to a view? 70% of the userbase won't have support.

Writing an image processing app that depends on the GL_OES_texture_float extension on the GPU? Phones from with GPU X will have the extension, phones with GPU Y won't. Need a gyroscope for some fancy UI widget? What about NEON intrinsics? What about an app that relies on all three? Having so many more combinations of hardware is a blessing and a curse, and testing against all the possibilities is a real hassle. Every platform has hardware fragmentation - Android just has it the worst.

Origami too.
Yep. There's definitely some architectural changes to the admin that would aid in re-theming.

More functionality encapsulated in template tags or the use of class-based views to facilitate reuse. Or even split the Admin into an API and an replaceable front-end. (a front-end to the back-end if you get my drift).

Lots of the admin would be nice to reuse for non-admin CRUD apps. Actions, list-filters, changelist, hierarchical date stuff, inlines...

In many ways the admin code is amazingly malleable and open to reuse in many areas. It's just that it's rather inconsistent and some other areas are extremely hard to reuse. Woe betide you if the thing you want to customize is in the latter category.
tyw is correct: My meaning was that the teams are the first to refine technology that later finds use in production automobiles. To illustrate my point, KERS has now found use the new McLaren F1 (supercar) - I expect it will continue to have repercussions as high-performance rechargable batteries become more prominent in automotive engineering.

With regards to the US political balance among major parties, there are good reasons why things always stabilize around two roughly equal parties, so I wouldn't worry about immigrants giving the Democrats a permanent majority. The parties simply re-adjust their policy mixes until they appeal to about half the electorate.

In terms of long-term policy shifts caused by immigration, well, ethnic diversity is a very good predictor of having a relatively stingy social welfare system compared to other countries of a similar wealth level. People are generally less willing to see their money taxed away to be used on people they think of as less like them. As someone who's pretty liberal I regard this as a bullet I have to bite to support immigration, but I suspect that's not your viewpoint.

This is like the sales pitches pre-real estate collapse. "The markets have steadily risen at 5-10% so its safe to take a 4.5-8% variable interest mortgage!"

Then things go wrong.

I lose my bet if KS can dodge a hit to their reputation, by ensuring that their system doesn't get gamed or become a target for cons.

Edit: Incidentally the reason VCs and others don't invest in some ideas is because of ticket size of the initial investment and final ability to knock it out of the park. (the 9 in 10 fail, but the 10th is Google rule)

So VCs are never going to be worried about losing out on KS projects except very rarely.

On the other hand, I know that I can create a sales pitch for a vapor ware product which sounds good enough to at least get some funding, and use that to create more believable KS pitches.

Speculation of course - I assume that this is something KS has worked on.
Whoops. Thanks for that! Fixed.

I think we pretty much agree but I'd like to clarify as I often hear people argue something along the lines of "the admin is great for simple things but you'll have to write normal code for anything beyond simple CRUD"

In fact - you can slot custom functionality into the admin in so many ways that even with a highly custom set-up you're still getting a lot of benefit from using it.

The problem with cancer is that, much like with the HIV virus, the immune system is fooled into thinking the cancerous cells are part of the human body.

From what I hear researchers are optimistic that any such disease can soon (i.e. within the next 20 years) be cured by injecting blood-cell sized nanobots that can reliably target the foreign cells or viruses in your body and kill them (and, unlike chemotherapy, don't destroy the good parts, too). I think the chronic disease is just a crutch that'll soon be obsolete.

Or look I'm special because I don't use this thing that everybody says is ugly.

I think that somebody that truly understand what LISP is all about also understands a lot more about languages and also why dumb, easy to use and popular languages like PHP exists and what are their purpose.

All languages have problems but usually they have some features that make it a very good choice for some kind of problem and PHP has the right features to make it a very good language for rapid web app prototyping.
