We started with a single developer and an artist. And two weeks ago a GUI developer joined the team. The team has been working full time on this.

How we did it? Well, we came up with a few leap of faith questions, like : "Nowadays most football games are too complicated to play and if we build what feels like arcade, people would enjoy playing it" and we started building minimum thing which we can test if we were right or not. This is where we are by the end of the 5th week :)
No this is different there are two different types of Filibuster. a Filibuster lite which is more or less a procedural trick. and then the full blown Mr. Smith Goes to washington keep talking until you drop filibuster. this is the full blown filibuster and it's actually quite rare.
> Indexing the minimum wage to inflation is a particularly bad idea, if there is ever a big supply shock and stagflation, you'll get a big increase in the minimum wage at the wrong time, when people and companies are struggling to avoid layoffs.

I assume you agree that in the long run the minimum wage should rise with something like inflation.

Put it in the hands of the Federal Reserve. Then can ensure it does not go up at the wrong times, and does go up the right amount over the long run.
False analogy. Comparing design work to carbohydrates is a thin argument.

Here is the definition of copy.. "A thing made to be similar or identical to another."

The worked linked to was not original. It is similar and identical to other designers work.
Any hip hop fans on HN? Here's my first app
The app is called Paint the Town. You create playlists with friends and listen to new music.

It's only a side project so I can learn how to code, but I'd love your feedback.
Cool beans. Are you monetized yet? Or, more pointedly, are you grabbing any fees from me for using this app?
This is his role exactly.
The short version of this is, "Don't be a journalist." There are so many people who want to be journalists, or to try to be, that The Atlantic thinks they'll work for free. Evidently many of them will. Anyone reading this should know that they need to seek another profession.

Interestingly enough, in 2001 I was the co-editor-and-chief of my high school newspaper and thought about going into journalism. But it was obvious to me then that the Internet was going to destroy a lot of careers in journalism.

It has. The only thing I still find puzzling is that some people want to major in journalism in college, or attempt to be "freelance writers."
Here's one he forgot: I've seen niche content sites that after building a community hold conferences. They may have advertising but it's the conference that's their main money maker.
> I think Yehuda is a very nice and smart person

I always get confused by this. I don't understand how being nice factors into technical decisions?

(For the record, I also think wycats is nice, but I don't really care when I'm trying to decide whether or not what he's saying makes sense)

If someone were to design a Mac Pro Mini, then it really needs both the memory and hard drives easily replaceable. I can even handle all flash if it mSATA and not some funky connector. It needs two (4 would be awesome) thunderbolts, usb3, and two (working, solid) ethernet connectors (one for network, one for storage). HDMI is nice (I would like an added input). I need 32GB of RAM on the minimum side. Core i7 and NVIDIA GPU would be fine. Include an iSCSI initiator.

If the next Mac Pro is any good, I predict a huge buy on its first day due to two years of pent up demand.
O.O

What is that?
I just came here to say pretty much exactly that. Consider the source, people.
3 months sounds like a reasonable deal to offer.
It seems like it would be easy to capture 'space' and arrows keys in the textfield and do the right thing. Anyone seen someone do that?
Is that why, or is it because nobody can find it? At first I thought you were talking about google's Native Client, and it's the Google results for 'nacl' or 'python nacl', etc. have both the crypto lib. and the browser vm interspersed.
I assume it's to say that he doesn't have some sort of vendetta or dislike of Yehuda that's coloring his opinion.
Without meaning to offend, I'm afraid I have to take issue with your points about Ember-Data.

Yes it's optional, and yes you can use jQuery.ajax or whatever, but in reality, it's not quite that simple.

The official guides in Ember default to assuming you're using Ember-Data (though they do at least mention it explicitly). This despite Ember-Data being far from production ready (as stated on the Github page) and far too slow for dealing with large quantities of data. At the same time, the conventions that are found in Ember-Data appear to be built in to core Ember (it says as much in the guides).

As far as Ember-Data not counting against Ember - it may be larger in scope than other client side data libraries (or the M part of other MVC frameworks or whatever) but the fact is that they are most definitely comparable, as it's the way that Ember gets stuff off the server, and saves it back to the server. Without Ember-Data, Ember has no built in way of doing that, which counts against it. With Ember-Data, well, it's not really ready yet, which also counts against it.
Would you say the same thing if there was a Republican in the White House touting the power to execute you without a trial?
From my understanding, it wasn't the prison term that caused Swartz to reject the plea; it was the felony conviction.
That's a good feedback, rmason. It is a niche model that could be added to the article.
Oddly enough it may not be true - the share of GDP captured is roughly 40% for corporations - and has dropped for wages. That is whilst the share of GDP for companies has remained roughly same for past few decades, wages share has dropped.

This means that the share of wealth going to wage earners and working stiffs is dropping - but is not being captured by company profits.

Where is it going? To self employed dividend earners - basically there are more one person bands now, freelancers etc. Some will be tax efficient schemes for bankers, but most are, well, us on HN.

I cannot find the link - will see in the morning.
Exactly. I did the very same thing, made a small app that showed off my coding skills. It only made about $1000 through Amazon Affiliate sales over the course of a year, but it got some press coverage and got me numerous job offers, one of which I ended up accepting.

There is a lot of value to be had from providing a free web app if you are a lone hacker looking for a job.
> US Government mandated minimize wage forces corporate welfare basket cases like Walmart to start carrying more of their own water.

This is probably true, but wouldn't ending corporate welfare be a better strategy to achieve that end?
This is a logical fallacy, reductio ad absurdum, or a slippery slope argument. If you want to argue your point at least do so without being intellectually dishonest.
There is no negotiation.

This is Walmart, not silicon valley.

You don't like what we're paying? Starve, see if we care, we'll find someone who will work for half what we offered you and let us throw paint on him to boot.

These jobs aren't taken by people whose needs are taken care of and are just looking for a little 'pocket money' or some gas so they can take the old car around and see their buddies on weekends.
Screenhero Shares Your Screen with Others, Gives Each Person Their Own Mouse
It increases unemployment of low-skilled black men mainly. Other low-skill demographics don't have as much of a problem finding employment when the minimum wage increases. This awkward fact is why lowering the minimum wage is progressive.
Cool, thanks for explaining.

But, I really really think for a newbie (like me) to even find out that I can use jQuery.ajax to create Ember.Objects is confusing. The immediate questions following that would be

* How do I do that? Can I see an example? And where do I find a counter-example?
* Then why Ember Object (ok fine they provide cool ORM features, but when I'm starting, I just want to understand what/where things are)

I know a lot of people are raving about Emberjs, and personally it looks good and I really want to get into it, but really really really, I found it not-newbie friendly.

There should and there are. These have been presented in detail before and no doubt will be again. If Holder were to submit a lengthy memo restating the administration's legal position in regards to military action within the borders of the US, people would complain that he was trying to bury the issue in obfuscatory language.

Let me offer you instead a rule of thumb by which to judge this situation. You are aware, no doubt, that there are many combat-ready planes and ships operated by our armed forces in the airspace and waters of the continental US; and you can surely conceive of situations where those planes and ships might be ordered to intercept or even fire upon targets in response to military or terroristic threats. The primary purpose of having armed forces, after all, is for a country to defend itself from attack. If tomorrow we were to find that hostile actors had control of a jet airliner and were flying it towards a city or similarly important target, nobody would be surprised or upset if the President were to order fighter jets scrambled in order to divert even destroy it if necessary. Indeed, the previous administration came in for quite a bit of criticism over its lack of preparedness to take such actions on September 11 2001.

If you are OK with this, and I would bet money that you are, because no government in its right mind would respond to military attack by filing suit in the Supreme Court or asking congress to legislate before doing anything, then you should be OK with drones being employed for the same purpose. On the off-chance that you are opposed to any military assets of any kind being deployed within or around the US during peacetime, and that the US should not maintain any sort of defensive capability, then we are doomed to disagree.

Entrepreneurial Lessons From Google All-Star and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer
Silly me. :P
>Also keep in mind that before the DMCA you'd have received a lawsuit instead of a takedown in the first place.

I kind of doubt it. Filing a fraudulent lawsuit requires finding a lawyer who is willing to risk getting disbarred and putting yourself in front of a judge with the power to impose serious punishments for misbehavior. Filing a fraudulent takedown notice can be done by any jackass with an internet connection and you only get punished if the victim has the knowledge, will and finances required to hire a lawyer and go after you.

1) When Costco raises their entry-level wages - it's probably a good thing.

2) Using legal system (mandatory minimum wage law) to fight their competitors - is a sleazy tactic.
Also, it might be difficult to consider being locked in a cell with people who are liable to rape you to assert power.

In addition, we never heard his side of the story. It's possible he had zero intent to ever distribute these. In which case, going to federal prison for trespassing seems absurd (and questionable jurisdiction).

Yahoo’s Mail users continue reporting hacking incidents
The important thing to understanding filibusters is that they're a dirty, dirty hack. They were never really intended to be part of the legislative process, they're just some enterprising senators noticing and exploiting some loopholes in the senate's debate rules.

While the House puts some limits on debates, to move things along, the Senate is a more deliberative body (by design) and therefore doesn't vote on an issue until it has been completely debated. There is no strict definition of "completely debated" beyond "someone still has something to say." As any half-awake hacker no doubt will notice, this means that you can prevent a law from getting voted on, and therefore passing, by simply not ending the debate. This is what a filibuster is.

There are technically some restrictions around debate, and the band-aid fix that a supermajority vote can stop debate and bring a vote, but that's about the only thing stopping it in practice.

The main technical restriction is that, if the Senate doesn't have anything else to do, any one Senator only gets one monologue. They can't stop one day, and then filibuster again the next day. This rule can be stretched, but not broken. Hence, the content of most filibusters tend to be long space-fillers, which is what you're seeing. There's also a rule that the debate must be 'on topic,' but that's too vaguely defined to be worth anything. Famously, one Senator said something to the effect of "this law is not in the interests of my constituents, who are as follows:" and then proceed to literally read the phone book for a few hours.
Did the limitation of having only one ng-view affect your project at all? I'm embarking on a new project using Angular and there are mixed opinions on the web. People that were shouting against it have come back saying that it's actually not so bad [1].

pretty smart..thanks for sharing :)
That's the hunch I had reading this (as someone with no EmberJS experience).

To digress a little, it's not much different than the terminology confusion in Backbone, where:

- Router(s) work as front controllers,

- templates (along with the browser's DOM) as views, and

- Views as presenters (from the MVP pattern).

Models are flavored with the Active Record pattern. Presenters and views are tightly coupled.

MVC and MVP coexist because the controllers respond to navigational input (mapping to model-presenter pairs) and the presenters respond to page-specific input (mapping to model manipulations and, possibly, server calls).
TrenchBroom: A Modern Level Editor for Quake 1
I have to wonder how hilarious it would be to get paid in only bitcoin with the amount of volatility. Your contract starts at 10K BTC/year worth $30000 at the start, and after a year of 14000% increases you are being paid $440000 in BTC. Seems like a huge hedge would have to be built in.
What do you mean? In this model "memory" (as in, the ability to remember things you have learned, seen, thought, or otherwise experienced) is emergent from the ability to form new pattern recognizers... The ability to form new pattern recognizers is not itself built on this "memory".

Do you mean that you are questioning the ability to form new pattern detectors? Do you think that isn't done, or do you just think the mechanism behind how that happens is inadequately explained?

But yeah, you'd probably get better results if you're like "hey, here's this free thing, want it?" (tap YES) "Here you go!" ... "Please go rate us thanks it really helps" because of people's sense of reciprocity.

In any case, my point is to use your fans and your customers to boost your rank, rather than shady services and botnets.

The Retina MBP 15" (not sure about the 13") can do two Thunderbolt displays or any two Displayport screens, plus HDMI.
That would be ideal, though it might complicate the experience for non-techies, especially during setup.

Tangent: one thing that drives me nuts about universal remotes that they are all modal; ie, you must put the remote in receiver mode before you change the volume, etc. I wish I had a remote that could remember device presets for each button simultaneously, such that volume always uses the receiver RF, D-pad always uses Apple TV RF, etc.

Fair point. We're open to exploring other pricing structures based on the market feedback we'll get. In general, goal is to rather be the Apple of eCommerce than the Dell. (Well, that sounds cheesy and not in a good way :) Sorry.) We don't want to be the cheapest service but the one that provides our sellers with the most value.
You still aren't criticizing the argument. You're criticizing the motivations of the people who wrote it. Even if you're correct, even if the people who wrote it are against government action in every form (and they aren't, by the way!), the fact remains that I find their criticism of this particular government intervention persuasive.

I find the argument persuasive. I'm absolutely not kidding about that. If you demonstrate the argument is invalid, you will change my mind. But since it's the argument, not the authors I find persuasive, it doesn't particularly matter why they believe it. I happen to think they're honest, but who knows? Maybe they're crazy or demon-possessed. I don't know. All I know is, what they said makes sense to me.

--------

The argument, in a nutshell, is that minimum wage increases unemployment because some people are less productive than that. Some people are only making $8/hr worth of stuff, so requiring that they paid $9/hr is tantamount to making it illegal for them to work. Hence, unemployment.

The data shows that there is a correlation between the minimum wage level and unemployment among lower-educated workers. That doesn't prove that the theory is correct, but it supports it pretty well.

Those are the things you have to criticize if you want to change my mind (or persuade the folks reading along).
Well, just avoid thinking these events as one shot events. Prepare yourself for being a good professional, delivering a good product, for long term value creation. So when this opportunities show up, you just try, try hard and, if it doesn't happen, just move on.
I don't believe anyone would ever have just one opportunity to be successfull. Normally the case is that you fantasize that one accomplishment, that job at Google, that VC funding.
Initial reaction was...huh? But now I think I get it. I can order three services through your company: Lawn Mowing, Snow Removal, and Leaf removal. I just tell you I need it and you'll find someone to do it for me.

But your website is full of words/phrases not relatable to a consumer in this space, the biggest culprit being 'contracts' or 'service contracts'. I trust that the work you're doing behind the scenes is innovative and impactful, but keep the pitch simple.

Get Maid (http://getmaid.com) is an example where I feel the pitch is simpler.

Edit: Sorry one more thing, I know you want to be global, but it's infuriating when I search for a provider and get back no results. If you're only available in a limited area today, be honest and tell me on the search page. And let me know you're planning to expand.
How does this self-righteous non-sense make the front page, again. Just because Danielle was a "conference ho" doesn't mean everyone falls into the trap.
The problem I have with this piece is that it doesn't really offer any solutions and is basically a justification for trying to ask people for free work.

Journalists rarely think about business models, which I think is one of the main reasons that journalism is doing so poorly. Some journalists abhor the idea of even thinking about how to support their work.

Sitting around saying, "well our freelancer budget is small" doesn't help the situation.
False premise. That said, if I were engaged in some sort of military-style assault upon the US then of course I would expect to encounter armed opposition. Is it your view that when a country is attacked the executive is supposed to sit on its hands?

Call me cold-heart, but I think George W. Bush would have been better off ordering fighter jets into the air back in 2001 instead of listening to a story about a pet goat. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pet_Goat#George_W._Bush:_9.... for context).

EDIT: I forgot to add that the US has been employing drones since at least 2002. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan and http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1900248,00.html among other sources.
