of the week I began to get
this large and disenchanting fact through my head: that the mass
of the nation had swung their caps and shouted for the republic for
about one day, and there an end! The Church, the nobles, and
the gentry then turned one grand, all-disapproving frown upon them
and shriveled them into sheep! From that moment the sheep had
begun to gather to the fold--that is to say, the camps--and offer
their valueless lives and their valuable wool to the "righteous
cause." Why, even t

Yes, or just have a web hosting company that doesn't utterly suck fucking balls.

I know a lot of people still use Network Solutions and GoDaddy, despite the fact that 5 seconds of armchair due diligence[1] would tell you that you shouldn't.

I've been hosting websites on Pair Networks[2] since (/searches email archive) 1997. My own projects, then client websites, and sites for multiple employers. Because they are awesome, when they opened PairNIC[3], I moved all the domains I control to them.

You could reduce this blog post down to "Don't register a domain name with your brother-in-law... if your brother in law is a fucking asshole who will try to rip you off."

And then factor that down to just "Don't register a domain name with a fucking asshole."

(So I guess the only reason I commented at all was because of the chance to plug Pair, who have been so awesome for so many years.)

Cars were doing 100 Mph on the German autobahn in the 60's, they're not much quicker today and most drive a lot slower than that.

There is progress, but on the transportation front from a practical point of view the biggest one so far is the electric bicycle.

*Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/), also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕβρις, means extreme pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.
Not necessarily.

Reading and understanding are only one step. Actually assimilating and putting the advice to practical use is another step entirely.

This is why there are so many "obvious" articles that we do not apply. For instance, the blog posts and articles advocating exercise and a good night's sleep.

And yet, here I am, posting on HN at 1:20 AM.
This is only true of very senior faculty these days, at least in Econ, Statistics, Math, etc.
It would be a great hoax if he was actually slowly making his way toward Honduras.
Hmm, the additional qualification of "newly-hired" and "entry-level" are not present in the original, afaict on purpose. Your additions move the meaning pretty far from the original's. IMHO. YMMV.
Honestly, though, this idea seems to fall squarely into the 'yeah, I could see myself using that. Maybe' category.

This isn't a huge pain point.
I think OP is commenting on how they are calling it "One-Day Apple Shopping Event" rather than actually mentioning black friday.
Apple has stagnated on pushing their UX design, so more and more developers and designers are breaking free from the boilerplate objects and creating their own, unconstrained interfaces that evolve beyond the patterns Apple established.
I also have checked the three given links that are teaching exactly you said in the comment. BlueHost is another good domain name and hosting provider. Registering a name to trusted web hosting company is necessary otherwise you will have to suffer.
I actually gave a TEDx talk on this topic, my conclusion (similar to PGs, but more succinctly summed up in 10 words) was any time you find yourself saying "this is stupid, there has to be a better way..." BINGO! you've got a startup topic. Just actually keep track of it, and you'll find it happens more often than you realize.

"but at the risk of getting hell-banned or massively
down voted your response came across as being unhelpful
and rude, if it had been someone else making the
comment they would likely have been down voted for it,
or at the very least treat with indignation and
ignored"

What? When did it come to this?

Has HN become a Reddit-style circle-jerk, increasingly elbowing out all dissenting opinions even when they are sensibly argued and corroborated with plentiful facts?

When did karma war chests become purses for silencing or pariah-izing, differing or even polarizing thoughts?

I have always thought you had to reason your way to the proverbial top of the heap of consensus-seeking opinions.

Not carpet-bomb your way to it.

Legitimate big wig or a green horn. Same credo.

In fact "thought leaders" should invite criticism and discourage herdism.

This is a disquieting trend.

If you can't rationally present your case or think a curt one-liner will do since your tech peerage will add some pedigree to an otherwise lousy and hollow argument, you should go elsewhere.

This should be a default understanding among all civil discussion online.

Unfortunately we live in a hyper-partisan era where discord is detrimental. A prevailing view that directly contrasts yours is a dent in your sense of self-worth.

HN should strive to be exemplary in this regard.
> the police must have gotten worried about international media causing this issue to blow up in their face

Yes, that may have played into it.

We did and we still do but we chose to keep it in reserve in case we ever need it. Once that bomb is detonated there is no going back and it would make our friend stand out in ways that are not helping her.
Why does it need so many fuses?
The best way to find job is to make your profile on online site which gathers information about job vacancies. You should apply to a job relevant to your qualification and skills. Employer also searches for hiring employees on these sites online so, may be, they will found you right and suitable person for hiring to any job or task.
Can I ask why you're charging for this at all? The cost to you has to be close to negligible. Even with expensive hosting, I would be surprised if you had to pay more than $200/mo at the height of popularity.

You might want to look into sponsorship. No need for banner ads, just create one or two "sponsored by" slots or messages. Give them away at first to your friends or companies you like at first. If the site becomes popular enough that hosting costs are an issue, there will be people willing to pay to get their name out there (office products, other office related software).

A lot of people, especially at 37Signals, have this "If you're not charging money for your software, you're a sucker" attitude. That can be true, but it's certainly not the only advice for every situation. A lot of people have trouble differentiating between "growing business" and "cool thing that I made". Unless you have some kind of hidden costs, you might get much more traction by just putting this out there.
I usually really don't like huge web frameworks like Nitrogen. I'll take a look though.

Edit:

Took a look at the documentation. You couldn't pay me to touch Nitrogen. Hopefully Cowboy turns out to be more promising. I'm already familiar with CB.
Phpseclib: pure-PHP SSH, RSA, X.509 implementation
Reading this was like a punch in the gut, in the same way that Family Guy comedy hits you right there just by stating what's plainly in sight. I saw all the mistakes, things I've discovered, and hard lessons I've learned along the way phrased and frame in a clear way--so much so I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Interesting idea - I wouldn't try to monetize off the players, but gathering data and advertising. You've got an idea that reflects real world "social" - not people posting photos of kittens, but folks who are actually meeting, playing, and interacting with each other. Seems like that data would have a lot of value...
It would be pretty damn mysterious if they were just now announcing a shopping event for October 23, but actually the HN headline is just wrong.
530 billion neuron simulation. IBM
Hardly. The big cost of any manned space mission is launch, and SpaceX already has that licked. Even if they were to use the Falcon Heavy as the basis for a Mars mission they could easily do a several landing mission for less than $20 billion, this is well within the costs that various studies have shown is possible for a Mars mission. And that's potentially within their long-term accumulated profit margin over a period of several years. If they manage to bring costs down further, which is something they've already demonstrated competency at, then the idea of a $5 billion or cheaper Mars mission is well within the realm of possibility.
I think you are missing the fact that the internet has allowed every human who can access it (less those under government filters) to have access to nearly the sum of all human knowledge. No, we don't precisely know what to do with this access just yet, but we have it. For instance, you can look up the intricacies of the 'Launch loop' in seconds and scan the contents of every academic paper relating to it in minutes. This immediacy of information is unprecedented in human history.

To say that only communication and shopping have been revolutionized in the past 20 years is grossly misinformed. Human interaction with each other, with ourselves, and with knowledge has been fundamentally changed for a very substantial portion of the population. No, it has not reached every corner of the globe, but neither has electricity, radio, or television.
I guess that depends on if they could hire twice as many people in sales and double their revenue. If there are diminishing returns, then it could be a revenue generator.
I applaud the technique -- combating the misinformation immediately and alongside it, with no expenditure of time or effort. A boon for those without enough search savvy for debunking. Speed is of the essence: debunk it while the person still cares, hasn't repeated it or passed it on to anyone, and hasn't built long-term memory of the misinformation.

Unfortunately, the "About" page says nothing about how it actually works. Does it just search "snopes/[fact-check website] [string from email long enough to be unique]" and parse the results?
As a bit of encouragement for you, a primer on "music theory from the ground up" is exactly what I have been looking for. I have tried to learn proper notation as well as scales and chord structures, but I seem to hit a brick wall because it all seems so arbitrary to me. I'd love to know how the system was derived.
I'm actually really sorry, but I didn't understand your comment, I'm not sure if it's too early or I lack the intelligence but I've been reading it again and again for the past 5 minutes and I can't seem to get my head around it, so I can't adequately comment on.

~ After seeing it has been rewritten slightly ~

Thanks for the response and I agree, one of the good things about this site is that everyone comes here equal, very rarely do I see any kind of elitism between the users, with the exception of the occasional PHP vs Ruby(oR) rant.

I wasn't putting down Paul for the sake of putting him down, it wasn't my intention to come across as pretentious or seeming to push morals on people and I acknowledge a comment above stating that Paul could simply have been terse in his response, I do however still assert my original comment, I believe that he could have brought a lot more to the table than he did when he posted, I nearly always think carefully about my comments before I make them.

HN is exemplary in this regard, it has quite possibly the best quality of commenting I have found so far and I hope it continues this way for a long time to come, I'm relatively new to this site, only having been on this account for 3 months now, but in that time I have been a daily user (probably reading 50+ articles per day and commenting upon several) and as such I feel it is my responsibility to help the quality of this site remain at the same level, if I feel a post does little to aid or engage with someone who requires help, it is my duty to mention it, regardless of if the persons name is green or if the persons name is PG.

Also, my karma is like a yo-yo after posting on this thread, I'm literally seeing it jump up or down after every page refresh.

My impression from speaking to an American friend working in China is that a very significant portion of the ex-pat populations from the USA and Canada are folks who couldn't hack it in their native lands... personality disorders and an unreasonable inability to deal with authority seem to prevail, but as foreigners they get just enough leeway to skate by.

Talk to your accountant.

btw, Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. Lightbulbs were around. He improved on it. Actually, his lab assistants did most of the work. And speaking of necessity is the mother of all inventions, Thomas Edison's phonograph invention (again, it was his lab assistants) came before he applied it to a need. It took him a while to figure out to apply it to the music industry.

Agreed. This applies to the CEO and the Board, where relevant. LPs and public investors can vote with their feet, but people actually with their hands on the controls need to act responsibly.
I wish companies that oppose software patents would cede all their patents to some central 3rd party... and in exchange, that 3rd party with a large patent portfolio would promise to crush anyone else who initiates a patent suit.
The duty of a publicly held company (which SpaceX is not, yet) is to do what its shareholders desire. Which may be to maximize "shareholder value" but may not be. We tend to think of corporations as money engines, money goes in and more money comes out. But that's an oversimplification. Look at kickstarter as an example of how investment need not always be about strict financial return but also about creation and other goals.
super interesting stats. Looks like a lot of these twitter users are TC / xTC writers.
That may be a more challenging thing. Lots of people do stupid things, sometimes even illegal things, but does not have nearly the impact on their ability to 'funded' as one might guess. For every investor who will say "No" there is another who will say "I don't care what he did or does if I get a 10x return on my investment!" Kind of sad but also true.

That said, in the Bay area at least where the valley is pretty "small" in terms of reputation there are people who have worn out their welcome and moved on. Not because they can't get funded but because they can't put together a team any more of people willing to work with them. I know a couple who have "done a geography" [1] and have started elsewhere. I feel really for the people who bought into the company and went to work there only to have this happen.

[1] A friend of mine who counseled people used the term 'do a geography' which was when a person moved to a completely new place to escape the 'bad things' that were going on where they were. Sometimes that helps, sometimes not.
Very interesting representation of data...
As I describe language structure in Go to people, I keep telling them that "go fmt" is an amazing tool that you will wish you had for every language. I am met with many incredulous stares at the suggestion that a program that messes with your formatting could be a good thing... but it is!
If the we assume the hypothesis is true (that exposure to real-life business problems generates the best startup ideas), wouldn't it follow that management consultants have tons of great business ideas? I mean, if I want to maximize my exposure to "seeing the same problem crop up over and over in similar industries," that's how I'd go about doing it.

Are there good examples of "former consultants who decided to start a company building the tools they used to make for every new client?" RJMetrics is the only one that comes to mind.

(This is not a loaded question; I was one and am in that place now. My potential cofounders and I are engineers but not developers; that's a barrier but not insurmountable)

Only tangentially on topic, but I imagine someone here knows the answer: is there currently an Airbnb for cars?

AirBnb lets you monetize your spare housing capacity for rent.

Congested cities are full of cars with spare capacity that isn't being monetized. I'm not the only one that's noticed this. Someone will eventually try to use smartphones + ridesharing to use this spare capacity.

Is anyone doing it at present?
I work for Intel, and I congratulate Paul on his tenure.

On the whole, I would say most of my engineer colleagues approve of Paul's leadership, MBA or otherwise :).

or

- The more complicated the app, the more backend/infrastructure required. We simplify your backend.
He's actually defending you. He's saying you shouldn't have to write a paragraph long preamble to explain why you're second guessing PG.

Personally, I think you're way off-base. PG obviously can't elaborate on the voting ring detector or give further detail because to do so would lessen its effectiveness. I wasn't expecting the OP to even get a response.

Plus PG is always succinct.
A lot of this advice goes for those who are looking for their first co-ops and internships, too. If you haven't built experience yet, your GPA becomes a critical flag for how you dedicate yourself to the work you've been given. Combine that with interesting projects, and you'll be well on your way to getting the internships that will make you stand out later.
