I'm pretty sure we did not nail the home page and perhaps our approach isn't the best, but I really do appreciate the feedback.

The reasoning behind the current homepage: people were pretty excited when they figured out what to do… it was a little burst of positive feedback that got them to see that their actions were directly responsible for making the little dude move around. And they learned something very important about the tool.

Maybe just a demo video works, maybe links to other people's creations… We're planning on treating it like adults and doing some A/B testing. :)

I agree, that "e" logo need to never be hanging out in the middle of the page like that! I'll get it out of there ASAP. We've been mainly testing on taller browsers! :D
I get your feelings here, and I think they say good things about you. But until you take money, you aren't running a business. What with business cards, a nice website, and an office, it might look like a business, but it's just an expensive fantasy.

Money is proof that your customers find you valuable. If you are really worried that the money is more an expression of faith and that you might not earn it, then don't recognize the revenue. Keep the money separate so you can give it back if things don't work out. But take the money. And then ask other people for money.

Avoiding taking money is basically avoiding finding out whether or not you've got something good. Your answer to that question is almost irrelevant. It's your potential customers that you should be listening to. One of the truest answers they will give you is their first check. (Still truer ones are regular checks and referrals to friends.) So take the money.
I don't recall saying there was anything that you could learn in a library that would translate into earning income. Though if I were in a situation where that was my only option, I'd personally pick web programming. That probably has the lowest barrier to entry of anything you could actually learn by just reading a book.
The question should be "why do you want to go away from java swing ?" What are the problems/limitations you encounter ? If there's no serious reasons to change, why change ? (well, there's the fun to rewrite all, the fun to learn technologies, but from a business standpoint, that's not reasonable)
Trademark is fundamentally about consumer confusion. The whole point of even having trademarks is so that when I e.g. buy a fizzy drink labeled Coca-Cola, I can be reasonably assured that it was made by that company, and is not some knockoff. Similar or identical names can be used in different markets without trademark difficulty as long as there's no potential for confusion. Or such is my limited understanding.

Facebook doesn't get to own the letters "FB", but they do get to own those letters in contexts where use of those letters would confuse people into thinking that the product in question comes from Facebook. Calling your new line of leaf blowers "FB" would probably be fine, but calling your browser extension specifically targeted at facebook.com "FB" is begging for trouble.
I agree that it can be a really bad thing. Just as your upbringing can influence you to become curious, willing to learn and self-motivated, it can also teach you the wrong kind of motivation. I have seen people come from a background where wealth was considered more important than anything, where opportunism and exploitation are acceptable means to a materialist goal, and saw these people turn out as criminals and con men.

It's not particularly challenging theoretically, and yet it is so seldom achieved that it is very sad.

My old iphone 3G stalls for seconds at a time due to memory pressure; Windows stalls for seconds at a time due to CPU pressure. So does Linux with X; I have no experience with Android, but I'd be surprised if it is different.

So apparently, it IS a challenge, even though there is no rational explanation why it should be.

The ice field just above Base Camp (which, wow, look at all those tents) is the Khumbu Icefall, which climbers must scale to en route to the South Col.
I'm amazed not by the mountain - but by the size of the camp in the valley. I knew a lot of people climbed Mt Everest, but that't practically a small city.

Of most experimental research with humans in general, for that matter.

Ask HN:  Can you fire a cofounder?
A hypothetical situation: A cofounder has not put in much effort not doing much work other than showing up in meetings. But he is not "quitting", meaning he is hanging onto the shares he already owned and is going to own (vest) in the future. So you, the other founder, is effectively working for him. How do you handle this situation?

Everest Base Camp. Lots of people just trek up to EBC and head back, it is non-technical and can be done by most people in decent shape.
If you had 2-300 words, it would be much cheaper to just record the words.

Otherwise, if it's still just dictionary words, it's just a lot easier if the dictionary already breaks down the word into phonemes, and the speech engine then collates the phoneme sounds together. You're not actually using most of the features of a text-to-speech engine, so I don't see why you'd have to pay for the full price tag.

So: how many words? And what's a price that would make you want to buy a license to a simpler engine? :)

A lot of conspiracy stuff is definitely coming from the mentally disturbed part of society.

But on the other hand, we have to be careful. It is absolutely the case that certain groups conspire for various activities: Lenin & the Bolsheviks, Paul Revere and the US revolutionaries, the Praetorian Guards in ancient Rome, just to name a few. Pertaining more to the usual conspiracy fodder, reviewing the Church Committee reports on the CIA (c.f. "United States President's Commission on CIA activities within the United States" in Wikipedia) does not give great comfort to people who would like to ignore conspiracies. They happen, but they aren't aliens from the Zonker Dimension in snake form.

Who even uses WCF? It's one of those MS technologies that even MS employees can't help but talk derisively about, like Sharepoint.
Their entire business model was based on selling film canisters at outrageous prices, so they didn't want to pursue digital cameras, since it would cannibalize their primary revenue source. The execs probably comforted themselves by saying that digital cameras would never become as cheap, as good, or as easy to use as film, yada yada yada. And while they were sitting on their hands, Sony, Nikon, and Canon ate their lunch.
The traditional argument for a copyright of "Limited Terms", in the constitution, is that it makes it possible for artists to make a living, terms. Clearly 30 years is adequate for that - only a very small number of works even get consumed after that time.

However, you're arguing that an artist has a "natural right" to their work, Forever. And that if it ever enters public domain and is used, it's users are thieves.
(it's only possible to "take it" if copyright is considered a natural right)
I came to post that- about the mouse movement.

It's absolutely driving me nuts. Makes no sense.
The article this article quotes was on HN yesterday [1]. It was Baloney then its baloney now. CNNMoney came to faulty conclusions , and pcmag appears to have extrapolated those faulty conclusions, CNN Money stated that most of the _top_ projects were late. pcmag using that article as a reference now says _most_ projects fail to deliver on time. Big difference in those two statements.

I'm using NancyFX for a decently sized project. We are using Razor as our view engine, it has nice IOC integration, the testing framework works better than I've found for anything with MVC. And for basic work all of the developers were able to pick it up rather quickly.

The bad: getting a consistent convention for setting up your response methods has been some work, as there are so many ways to make one. Routes are EXTREMELY extensible, so you end up trying to do things you probably shouldn't. Lots of dynamics (at least the way we use it), and the dynamic type has a lot of side effects.

Many people attribute this to "the innovator's dilemma" [1] - Kodak had a lead in digital camera technology, but they weren't as enthusiastic as they should have been to push digital as it would have made their chemical photography business obsolete.

When you've got a big, profitable film business, lots of film business employees and factories and machines, people right up to the boardroom who have dedicated their lives to building up the film business, and lots of customers like photo development firms who are saying they think film is just great - it's difficult to decide to consign all that to the scrap heap.

And by the time you don't have a profitable film business any more, you've lost the headstart you once had.

Wow, I was thinking to myself: "Jeez, look at all that trash those climbers have left on the mountain!"

Then I zoomed in some more, and realized the "trash" was actually tents.
Um... What about Australia? Canada? Barbados?

At least a dozen former British colonies established their independence gradually and peacefully, with the willing cooperation of the UK. No fighting, animosity, or anything that could be remotely considered a "revolution".

(Now of course, not ALL former colonies separated peacefully: India, The United States, etc. But there are plenty of examples on both sides.)

And how about Iceland?
Well now I feel dumb(er). :)
It's a great idea, we're looking for a new place right now as our lease is up and I wish there was something like this for Australia.

Good ideas may not necessarily be good ideas for you. It seems like you don't really have the resources to execute on this idea properly. From your short description, you come off as a random person with no interior design experience, limited money, limited contacts. It's a tough spot.

If you're serious about continuing, then try building out the storyboard and wireframes. Then you have a concept you can pitch and sell to clients. If it's easy to get clients and purchase orders, then you know you have something. If you can't, then the product / market fit needs some work.

FYI, there are a couple startups doing very similar things already.

The value created by IV and RPX in this situation is of the same character as the value created by any transactionary middle-man: they create liquidity. They enable "genuine innovators" to quickly cash out their invention in a single transaction instead of either litigating themselves, or waiting to sell the patents piecemeal to someone who will "actually use them." In this case, Kodak isn't going to continue as an ongoing entity. It's better for Kodak, the original inventors, to sell the patent to an aggregator than to drag out the bankruptcy selling the patent portfolio piecemeal to companies that will "actually use it." In turn, IV and RPX aren't doing anything Kodak, the original inventors, couldn't already do. They are just taking advantage of Kodak's need for expediency, hoping to make a profit on the discount Kodak is willing to take in order to complete the transaction quickly.

Also, the use of the phrase "genuine innovator" is more than a bit editorial. Who is to say that they aren't just opportunists seeking to take advantage of the fact that Kodak can no longer practically enforce its rights? Kodak isn't a software company--the probability that IV and RPX will just be going after "innocent" third parties that just happened to stumble on the same invention is lower than it would be in say the software patent context.

Essential reading: end-of-year mobile phone statistics for 2012
I always have issue with the "enterprise" cop out that many .NET developers like to fall back on when attempting to explain their resistance to using non-MS libraries. It reminds me a lot of iPhone v Blackberry in "enterprise" and we all know who won that... At the end of the day, "enterprise" people go home and become "consumers". Google and Facebook aren't enterpise and serve billions of requests a day, but they are founded on OSS technology. What does enterprise besides expensive software with vendor lock-in?

There is no guarantee that MS won't tire and move along either. At least with OSS like Nancy, you don't have to worry about MS sunsetting a product your company relies on. You can continue to develop it long after the project has died.
