Does the average person find touchscreen on a laptop or desktop to be of any value?

Last week I walked into the Microsoft store looking to purchase a new laptop. I couldn't get over the Windows 8 interface and instead went to the Apple store across the hallway and purchased by first Mac laptop.
To be fair, they also offer a digital library of many (kind of randomly selected) 6 months and older issues for $10 a month or $5 if you pay for a year. Marvel's digital strategy is kind of confused right now.
It also relies on having a lot of data (unlabeled is fine for learning features).

By contrast, manually chosen heuristics assumes you've seen a lot of data and you're bootstrapping the model with features deduced by your biological brain.
No, I do not see the irony. Posting on HN isn't a constitutionally protected civil liberty.
Your pricing strikes me as way too expensive. What are your variable costs that justify a price of $249/month for three environments? Surely they can't be very large, since your service is basically a web interface (that's not any comment on the quality of it). Also, consider that the need for cloud management service is much lower with 1 environment than 3 environments. If you ask me, your introductory plan should be for 3 environments.
Yeah it's called "oh look, a HN article, whatever ignore it, we'll fix it next year, and nobody will give a shit"
It is easy to incorporate in the U.S, I've done it myself several times and I'm no lawyer. Clerky is looking beyond just offering help on incorporation though. Their site lists help with legal stuff regarding employees, advisors, consultants, seed financing, and NDAs. Personally I'd be more interested in those services than with help on incorporating.
Given that the above text covers a ton of ground, I'm very curious what parts specifically downvoters are objecting to. Something about the comment (and its location in the thread) seems to have evoked a very negative response, but given the broad and very technical subject matter, I'm not sure exactly what or why.

Trademark infringement. All infringements have to be responded to or Amazon loses rights (eventually) to the trademark. When you get the "please stop infringing" email that asks you (hopefully nicely) to hand over the domain, recognize that this is entirely expected and predictable behavior for every trademark owning entity in the world.

If you have any specific test case like a website or certain operation, please file a bug so we can look at the issue. Otherwise a profile reset and a test in safe-mode is always a good idea.
You may be right....1 is much more likely than option 2, however in the high-growth startup space, most people tend to try and go for #2. That's where the returns are. That's where they are usually most misunderstood initially, and that's where they tend to make the biggest impact on the world.
I'm sure Google would like to index all kinds of private content, but since they can't see it, they can't index it. Moreover, a lot of public forums based on user-generated content automatically annotate their links so they don't contribute to page rank either; this is done for sensible reasons to prevent blatant spamming, but does mean that a lot of legitimate positive links also don't count. This combination undermines the entire idea that a page rank based on the quality and quantity of incoming links that Google can see and will count is a good indicator of the value of a site.

In other news, searching for things on Google increasingly seems to turn up large, commercial sites first and only to reach smaller, more personal, and often more informative/less biased sites several pages down. Meanwhile, posting a question to my friends on any private forum we share will often get better results within a few minutes anyway.

Ringing in the new era with a dud.

Why does it need to fit in the palm of your hand when it will most likely sit on a shelf its entire life? And who thought there was demand for a $1,000 mid-range gaming console? A cheap, low-performance device could at least be justified as an emulator/HTPC if it couldn't serve as a dedicated current-gen gaming console (which the Piston can't do either).

If this is any preview of what's to come from the "Steam Box" lineup, consider my excitement totally extinguished.

Of course they don't have to use real money. But if you're happy with playmoney, nothing stops you from, say, just writing down predictions and checking how they ultimately do. (I do just this; great practice and useful in many ways.)

However, we shouldn't forget that many people aren't going to contribute their time and expertise without a concrete reward. Nor do I blame them.
I am wondering why the OP decided to post it here, rather than try and get a bug bounty (edit: assuming it's a genuine issue, seems like maybe it isn't). It would probably be worth a fair amount...certainly a few thousand at least. Facebook are normally pretty happy for you to disclose after they fix it, so you can still get the PR...
I don't understand your point. I was answering the question "Is there any junk food out there made without dairy, soy protein extract, or wheat?" with the thought that answering that question would be useful for your son. Not to disprove or even contest the fact that there is little in the way of junk food that your son could eat. To be honest, my first thought was wasabi peas, but those contain soy.

I grew up in Miami. Bananas - the closest tree was in our neighbors yard - were perhaps a bigger part of my life than elsewhere in the US. But it's still part of the US! :) In our yard we had one each of lime, mango, avocado and guava trees. While I didn't have salsa until I went to college, nor a Frito pie for another 10 years after that.

I figured since Walgreens had banana chips then they count as mainstream enough that you can get. It's not "specialty expensive therefore rare exotic gluten free junk food." Also, they are not healthy. It's basically fried starch.

I didn't notice that "since 2004" means your son is at least 9, and almost certainly older. Yes, rollups aren't as popular for teenagers. What about Jolly Ranchers? "CORN SYRUP; SUGAR; CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: MALIC ACID; NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR ; ARTIFICIAL COLOR ( RED 40; BLUE 1; YELLOW 5; YELLOW 6) "

Here's information about Mike&Ike's and related junk food from Just Born candies. http://www.allergicliving.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1655 . Based on that list, MIKE AND IKE®, HOT TAMALES®, ZOURS®, TEENEE BEANEE® Jelly Beans and JUST BORN® Jelly Beans are gluten, soy, and milk free. I know that Mike&Ike had a big PR campaign a year or two back, aimed at teens. Don't know how it turned out though.

You eat junk food while at work, so it's not like you're against junk food per se. Perhaps there's something that you and your son can enjoy together? In moderation, of course.
Part of it has to do with federalism -- the federal government has very little to do with setting up a corporation, but then has quite a bit to do with selling shares. So you have to deal with at least a state government and the federal government, and often more than one state government.
Even being a marketing gimmick, it is a smart development. Minimal and useful. I <3 it.
It's a first generation product—nobody in their right mind would buy it anyway. Setting the price at $1000 means people who buy it probably know what they are doing and can help valve improve the most—think paying for a beta test.

At least that's my interpretation.
Sadly, no matter what kind of hardware/specs it has, the price point is too high. One reason the Wii took over back a huge chunk of the market was the price point (yes, you can also talk about the novel controllers, games, etc, but it is hard to argue against the pricing argument). When I was at MS Games studio, there was a lot of research that backed up the idea of "console sweet spots". Sadly, those (Gartner?) reports cost a lot of money and are not public so I can link to them :-(

so you're saying the best website should win without "cheating" right? its not that simple.

you could make the same argument about all advertising/marketing.

the best product should win on its own standards, without advertising, right? for example, wouldn't we all have better insurance rates if geico, progressive and esurance didn't have to spend their money on advertising?

But the truth is these insurance companies are disrupting old school insurance models that are less efficient and bringing value to more consumers faster with their advertising.

companies adapt, consumers adapt, markets adapt, search engines adapt. companies and people are going to work toward their self interest, and SEO is one way to do this. its called capitalism.

After I commented, I flagged the post. I'm not comfortable with this being on HN. FB should have a chance to fix it.

On the plus side, the entire thing may just be a misunderstanding. Other commenters are pointing out that it doesn't really live message them if you're not friends, just regular messages them -- which you could do anyway. It's just the UI appears that you are live messaging.

We'll see. But you're right -- very odd to post that here with a reward being easily available.

That evolution part is the problem. There's a chance we'll breed superviruses in our effort to stop supergerms.

As a practical matter, it's nearly impossible to breed therapeutic quantities of a virus without having a wide range of mutations present. We'll probably end up using phages because we won't have any other choice. But they won't be as safe as antibiotics.
Some folks would consider this as an attempt to hijack the discussion. I am not saying that is what you are trying to do but what some folks would think. It gets tedious sometimes when the post is specifically about "Python at whatever" and people post "Hey you should use this language instead."

Maybe that is why you were down voted. (FWIW, I did not down vote you.)
I know this is not likely within Clerky's remit - because they seem focused on the legal aspect of getting started, but I would LOVE for them to also do bank account setup. That would allow a company to go from nothing to a complete entity ready to get a Stripe account, in no time.

Google "piercing the corporate veil" if you'd like an example of what can go wrong.

Generally speaking, you want to incorporate a C-corp or LLC in the state where you do business. Alternatively, you can use a biz-friendly state like DE and register as a "foreign" corporation in the state of your primary location.

None of this matters unless/until you get sued, and then it matters a whole lot.

DE is chosen because you can state in all of your contracts that disputes are resolved in DE which has a special business court that handles corporate actions. There are also some outside tax and compliance benefits.

The Lego Founding Story: Only The Best Is Good Enough
Defining my specialization as a 'Front End Engineer'
I don't know why incorporating is such a big deal. When I started my beloved small business consulting thing, I thought that as a founder I should know what I am getting into it, so I spend a little time learning about what I am doing (two days all in all) and discovered that LLC is right form for me and my partner and we did everything ourselves, including bringing certified check to city hall.

I know exactly why I did everything I did and have trouble understanding need for something like this. I am developer, so I assume I am smart enough to understand basic things, I don't want to do law or accounting, but there are things you need to understand when you make decisions and be aware of consequences.

I wish I am as perfect as previous paragraphs describe, but I slip here and there, at least I know what and should be done.

Anyhow, this is my attitude and belief, I wish more people would believe in themselves and at least try to do things themselves.
(Disclaimer: I work at MS. I do work on windows.)
I currently have modern mix running on my windows 8 desktop. By and large, I've found that the vast majority of the time I'm on a desktop computer, I'm in the desktop mode of win8. Rarely do I find that the metro apps are useful outside of the mobile/tablet/laptop space. Despite all this, I thought "cool this product looks neat" and purchased a license to Modern Mix. Overall I haven't really found it tremendously useful. Whereas before I'd pin my calendar to the side of my screen (one of the very few metro apps I used on my desktop), I now just have it sitting in a window. The mix of win8 window borders with the metro styled apps just makes them look awkward, and I really don't feel like I've been given more functionality despite the increased flexibility.
The one nice feature is you can run multiple metro apps in fullscreen - which is great if you have a large multimonitor setup and if you have a bunch of metro based apps in your workflow. But by and large it's that last requirement that really doesn't make this product worth it for me - I simply don't have a large amount of metro apps I want to use. Are they nice on a tablet? Sure. But if I'm on a desktop I have apps that accomplish the same thing in a more optimized format.
Yes, it's an unfortunate state of affairs that even if there is nothing wrong with your documents, you may still get sued and it may still be in your best interest to settle (not saying that's the case with FB, but just speaking generally).

And I completely agree that if you need something custom or need advice, you should definitely talk with an experienced startup attorney. We refer customers to attorneys all the time!

Just to be clear though - it's definitely not an either-or proposition. A lot of our customers will go to their attorney, explain their situation, and ask "so, are the standard forms YC uses ok for us?" And because these documents are very standard (plain vanilla, as we lawyers like to say), startup attorneys are often either already familiar with them (especially so if they already represent YC companies) or it takes them very little time to review. Best of both worlds :)
Well that's part of your problem right there, is that you see no difference at all between protecting citizens from the oppression of a racist state, and using the Department of Defense to usurp the powers of the DoJ and the judiciary.

These would hardly be the first cops to have done something wrong in the U.S., and we've not needed to use military before. Let the system work as it was intended to work.
Well said. in 2008 i was a big advocate for firefox. Yet my clients knew about chrome and wanted to use it. But nobody aside from technies stuck with it. My wife still uses FF exclusively.

However chrome became stable. And then it built on it -- multi processing made one site not crash the browser. Startup speeds were fast, etc. Eventually I switched. It was a minimalistic interface that I could teach to my grandparents. And performance was ALWAYS great.

So the question remains: Switch back to FF? I vote no, until they finally implement what IE has done since IE9 -- multi processing, or solve the damn problem in other ways. Also chrome's sandbox is pretty much unbypassed except for a couple of times in pwn2own (all the exploits are already patched)

Mozilla focusing on the user while google on profit is a point, but it is not a selling point. Show me features. So far chrome's porn mode has been an innovator in the space, and firefox had to hack that mode on to their browser. So from an objective perspective... idk.

The "Steam Box" era won't/can't begin until Steam is actually delivering the "all gamepad" experience that living-room users expect.

And that sounds like it's further away than hardware that hits any particular place on the price/performance/heat/noise spectrum.
I recently got a laptop with a decent multi-touch touchpad and was pleasantly surprised at how well the swipe and scroll gestures work with Windows 8. I get around quicker than using a real mouse and keyboard and it's fairly intuitive.

On my dual-monitor desktop though it's terrible and I end up cursing it out seemingly daily.
Currently, Steam is only distributed for Ubuntu.
In order to justify that price it needs to things well other than games.

I'm curious as to what the difference is between a "Steam box" and a PC running Linux or Windows that has steam installed?
I wonder how many people actually use the exact phrase "correct horse battery staple" as their password.
I'm thinking pure speed is not a big differentiator these days... as long as it isn't horrible.

Why? The apps are mostly IO bound, and any large site is going to be caching, deferring slow operations, and sharding/breaking into tiers, cdns, etc, etc. The amount of time a web framework actually runs is relatively small.

Others have already mentioned what to do when performance is a problem.

I often get the idea that people confuse anonymous and first class functions (apparently because they discover the latter expressed in terms of the former).
We'd love to do that too! It gets a little complicated though because banks have their own set of regulations and depending on their model, can be picky about who they take on as a client (a lot of banks lose money on early-stage startups and only take them on to get their foot in the door for the future). It's something we're working on though :)
> why would amazon care about this?

Their name is in the domain, the service uses their name, and it's selling their products.

> their lawyers probably dont get out of bed for less than a $1,000,000

Their lawyers will be on salary, and trademarks have to be aggressively defended to remain valid. This is why large corporations smack down such violations on a regular basis.

> also, this brings business to amazon

Doesn't matter if it risks their trademark.
