Thanks, it does.

I can kind of see your point for the "instant gratification" of a public repository... but I'd love to see docker become some kind of standard *NIX type tool for packing up blocks of software ready to move them around, and you don't see many simple tools backed to some third-party infrastructure. (don't get me wrong - I'm not totally against it.. I just want this to work, and work forever without being tied to anything)

Also as lover of Go's idea to do away with a centralized repo for pkg management, it would be nice to see a similar approach taken for the handling of Standard Containers.

I'm very excited by all this. It feels like such a step in the right direction for all kinds of deployment problems.
Maybe call it Ruby-like, instead of Rubysh.
Rubysh can be misread in at least two ways.

No, the enterprise solution means it can run only on versions ancient-x, ancient-y, and ancient-z of these OSes on approved hardware and must use this JVM and accept applets and plugins. :-)

It could simply mean that they never spent a lot of time investigating how the founders got along, and so weren't able to notice initially which founders ultimately didn't work together well.
I'm afraid you are the one who rushed to post an opinion without reading it first, since I'm actually saying the same thing. Read the comment again.

I said that "male (or female) role model is an important part of the development of kids", not that "having both a father and mother is an important part of development kids", because kids will interact with people of both sexes and develop mental models accordingly - kids are not limited to learning only from their parents.

The fact kids look upon role models of both sexes is plain old behaviorism.

There are issues with unionfs in it's current form. Because of those issues, aufs is currently more stable.

Docker isn't tied to aufs, if unionfs or any other union file system comes along and is better, we are more then happy to switch to it.
I'd more than welcome any instructions and pointers on how to install Golang 1.1 on my computer which has 1.03 installed already. Either to replace my current version or maybe to install it aside 1.03 for testing. Thanks a lot.
It's the fact that "subsidized phone + 2 year contract" ends up costing you more money than "full price phone + no contract". Yes, you are in all likelihood going to be paying for some phone service or another for the next two years. Would you rather be paying $130 a month or $50 a month?

Right, RSS is great for low volume stuff that you don't want to miss.

I do have a way of using it productively with high-volume sites. Specifically, I read some of reddit via RSS. Sometimes I go deep into a project, and avoid distractions for quite a while. At the same time, I don't want to miss out on the zeitgeist. So I set up an RSS feed that takes the top n items over a certain period - for example, the top 3 weekly stories from proggit.

Then when I'm done the project I can go back and see what important items from the group discussion I've missed. Basically just turn a constant stream into a small amount of the best content that I don't want to miss.
The LastPass app on mobile devices worked great for me; true, it doesn't auto-fill, but copying and pasting the passwords is fairly painless.

And I think LastPass also supports multiple Identities, though I'm not sure how that works.
I've often wondered about this type of occurrence, even imagining a tracking device that would one day make it possible for similar encounters. (This was before smart phones.) So here we are today, and that which I wondered is now possible. I guess now I'd envision an app that records your location at certain intervals and stores them in an archive. As an ice breaker, you meet someone and the app would match up any data points with that person's phone and returns time, date and location of when the two were ever the closest to each other, or attending the same event.

Of course with the increased worry of privacy concerns, I think it would have a hard time getting off the ground. With that considered, the app wouldn't broad cast your locations, and when pairing, it wouldn't transmit everywhere that you have been; just one or two instances where the two were standing right next to each other and didn't even know it.

Is this really the right approach? I remember PG writing that if YC were truly rational they should have a bigger proportion of failures (because they should be taking much "riskier" ideas, because of the power-law distribution of outcomes).
But wouldn't you say they are just un-bundling it into a separate line item on your bill? You still pay $20 a month for 2 years. I really do appreciate the transparency, but I'd still make a choice based on overall cost.
I think "pollute" conveys the idea much better than the German example. Yes, it can create an emotional conflict, as you've demonstrated.

However, I would say that adding PHP and MySQL to a public server just increased the attack surface as well as operations management overhead. In my eyes, that is an increase in risk/cost/etc. for that server. That justifies "pollute", "infect", "degrade", etc.
Epitech is around 8000k/year. I made the 5 years and get a decent job, but I think it's still a scam because you learn in a p2p environment. Teachers and traditional courses are non existent. You code a lot, a lot, a lot, you learn also a lot, but it's not worth 8K euros per year for sure !
Rationally they work out in your interest anyways - such shenanigans as price hikes and whatnot are disallowed under contract. If they change the rate or the service, you get out of your contract for free.

As a result, most carriers don't mess with their contracted customers. The fact I'm on contract with Verizon right now is the only reason I still have unlimited data.

(Though with their prices, you can bet I'm jumping to Ting or similar the freaking nanosecond it expires).
That may be the case today, but I hardly doubt it was the original intent. They just protected letters because it was the only means of long-distance or written communication back then.

> The people that connect people, things (i.e. capital), and ideas are not naturally less valuable than the people that come up with ideas or who have things

I don't think anyone would argue that glue is naturally less valuable. The problem is that our current economic structure treats glue as if it creates approximately ALL of the value because we haven't figured out a good way to split value between different stages of the pipeline (IP isn't a good way).

Over-investing in glue is bad insofar as it comes at the expense of investing in fundamental technologies/research. Since our (over)valuation of glue currently places a rather heavy opportunity cost on performing said research and endorses the "academia is a waste" attitude, I tend to agree that our economy is too focused on glue.

Much like the Google guidelines on SEO, I would imagine pg's response to this would be something like 'the best way to optimize your application is to ignore optimizing your application' and instead focus on building something awesome.
I'm concerned I'd be a bad financial investor because I'd want to invest in interesting technologies that I really understood or found interesting, vs. things which seemed like easy returns.

If I had 100k/yr to invest in startups (which would mean investing $1mm/yr to have a decently safe allocation, unless I had $100mm in existing safe assets), it that's either 1-4 small angel investments per year, or somehow buying an index fund of startups. The only index fund I'd want is one which inherently included all startups, not just the ones which chose to be part of the index, so it would have to be YC VC or something like that. As far as I know, neither of the YC companies doing investment markets could offer that at the current time.

The only way for 1-4 small $25-100k angel investments to be meaningful would be to add a lot of additional value, or to already know the founders really well. So, I guess I could do infrastructure, or gov/intel, or security. Of the public YC companies this batch, only 3-6 really fall into that category.
But isn't it the same with a two-year subsidized phone plan? You pay a little up front, and a little extra each month. Again, kudos to T-Mobile for making the costs transparent, but I don't see how it is substantially different.
Is there a version of the graph for the colorblind? It would be nice to have one with numbers overlayed on the states.
As an ecom professional, fivetran is the most exciting to me.
Considering that yahoo immediately killed the product, and that its 1mill total users read 90mill summaries in ~18 months (that's less then 1 a day) I'd say they aren't buying users.
Generally speaking, if you are working on poultry, lower cooking temperatures work better. Why?

Primary constraint:

- Meat center at least safe-temperature.

Secondary constraint:

- The meat should be at the lowest temperature possible.

Within these constraints, the hotter the environment is, the more the outside of the meat is going to exceed the safe temperature, and thus the tougher it is going to be.
Definitely not a crazy thought to me. I'm in your shoes also. I'd love to work my way in to be mentored.

The only person I've had a small amount of mentorship from is Allen Wong, the creator of "5-0 radio app." I email him back and fourth occasionally. Just a normal guy. He helps me with my app development. I feel so fortunate to chat and get help from someone who is already successful.
> So I set up an RSS feed that takes the top n items over a certain period

Oh, I really like that idea. how do you set up that feed?
Wow, this definitely is the strongest looking batch in recent memory. Interesting to see a few companies in the group that are or will be competing head-on with previous YC alums.

Airware is particularly exciting. There are a lot of parallels between today's hobby UAV market and the hobby PC market of decades past.

I love Circuitlab, but "the founders estimate their market to be $500 million, because of CircuitLabs’ influence over which components the developers using the platform choose" (emphasis mine) is annoying.

Fivetran seems pretty ambitious, but it will be very cool if they can make it work.
I see, thanks a lot. And congratulations and thanks to the dozens of developers who made that release happen.
I think advising people to delete feeds misses a possible feature that I wish was available in the feed readers I've tried: I would like to mark each feed/URL to tell the feed reader if it is a feed in which I care about seeing every new item. The "number unread" cue/badge should only count the important feeds and not ones where I just want to see the latest content if I have free time.
Oh, I didn't realize Bitnami was taking part in YC. Enhorabuena, Daniel!
> we may get it

Which I think is the key statement here. This is all fantastic work, from both Google and those working on the draft, but this is years from being standardized properly and years more before it's ubiquitous on all browsers.

Also, while its performance is very impressive when comparing against vanilla HTTPS, I haven't seen any impressive numbers of it vs vanilla HTTP?
Awesome, glad to see you were able to hack a custom theme pretty quick too! Looks great. We'll have some in-depth theme docs coming later this week.

Right, the problem is just that "unread counts" aren't that nice of a feature for RSS feeds, because not all posts are created equal. (Hell, it's not even that nice of a feature on email, unless you do a lot of filtering.)

I like the volume slider ideal; I that you could leverage social media outlets as a scoring system. (I'd include HN in that - the more points, the higher the score.) That could give you a nice way to "bump up" the things past some "volume" you haven't seen in priority.

I don't like the idea of "just don't subscribe"; why can't the tool figure this out for me?

Edit: "aren't nice" -> "aren't that nice". I do think counts are useful, just far, far from perfect. What I find myself dong is finding a feed with unread items, skimming, then marking all as read. (Well, when I use Reader, sigh.)
I'm not sure calling Mozart and Chopin prodigies qualifies as throwing terms around [lightly]. With so much recorded music being created over the millennia (since the invention of musical notation), these two, among a few others, stand out as undeniable geniuses of their craft. It also so happens that they started to make waves very early, which wasn't that easy to accomplish in an artist's lifetime back then, especially when you consider that Chopin gave only some 30 public performances in the last 19 years of his life spent in Paris and away from oppressed Poland. Chopin was seven years old when he composed two critically-acclaimed Polonaises, in G minor and B-flat major. Would you really not call him a prodigy?

I am the author of ScrollToFixed, which has been out in the wild for a couple of years and does docking top, bottom, middle and still allows the fixed elements to move with the horizontal scroll, which is great for table headers.

I was thinking about posting it on HN when I got a break in the action. Haven't had a break in the action yet.
I've read HN over RSS for years. It's perfect for that.

Firefox isn't very well suited for keeping up with blogs and news sites like HN because it's so damn bloated and slow, and you can't really save any articles for later reading without upvoting, opening them in a new tab, or bookmarking them. Bookmarks in Firefox are a total pain in the ass, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. I already have more than enough tabs open, and don't want to waste more keeping some possibly interesting article waiting for me.

In my RSS reader (Newsbeuter[1]), all I have to do to save an article for later reading is not delete it. It will remain marked as new and I can read it later, at my leisure.

If I go for some days (or weeks) without reading HN at all, I can come back whenever I have time and still have all the articles waiting for me, instead of using HN's shitty time-limited "more.." prompt to painfully page through old articles.

Some years back, there were even a couple of "HN Full Feed" RSS feeds that would show the entire linked article in each RSS item, so I could read it in my RSS reader instead of having to click through to some crappily designed website and get pissed off at how long Firefox took to load it.

RSS is really one of the very best ways to read virtually any blog or news site, whether there are a ton of new items per day (like HN), or whether it's some little blog that's updated once every few years, or anywhere in between.

Like your other interlocutor, I find your stance here too rigid.

Here's the example that struck me:

"... finding the cure for cancer. That is not going to be centrally planned. You can throw all the money you want at the problem, government or private. ... No amount of money is going to dig-up that solution until it, well, just happens."

You're setting up a strawman here which indicates you don't know how large scientific problems are solved. In particular -- it's not like there is some grand plan that starts now and ends with "the" cure for cancer. But there is a method, that can be successful in solving hard problems.

There will be one or several advisory boards of people who have basically dedicated their life to aspects of the problem (e.g., a subcommittee of the National Academy of Science). Their expertise will be staggering.

They will produce a roadmap. It will be followed (mostly) for a while, with government or private sponsors. Over time, ideas will be funded and pan out or not, the board(s) will change, roadmaps are redrawn, and directions shift.

It's not some fixed plan. There are revolutions in disciplines, when people decide that prior approaches didn't work, and just abandon them. Staying at the forefront is highly competitive, because you're basically competing with the best people in the world.

Maybe (as has been the case with cancer) people will decide that it's a harder problem than first supposed, that there are a multitude of causes, some with easier solutions and some whose solution is still unknown.

Maybe (as with numerical weather prediction) the progress will be rather amazing, and in a couple of decades you will have a robust system that people take for granted, but that was just a crazy dream, originally. Hey, that's progress for you.

Private enterprise didn't develop and test NWP. And it certainly couldn't have been solved by cottage entrepreneurs.

My overall points:

(1) There is a large class of important technical problems that are not solvable by small entrepreneurs, or even by corporations.

(2) The "big science" solutions that have been developed do not use some kind of state-planning-from-1950 paradigm -- they are much more adaptive and competitive than you seem to believe.

I agree that my perspective above is influenced by the problems I have worked on in my life, and observed others (more gifted than I) work on.

Just wanted to chime in confirming that in my experience for development work you might as well just use Go tip. It is quite stable and in many situations (eg. you're deploying to ARM, or 32-bit targets) is far more stable/usable than 1.0.3 despite not being an official release.
Some people have the pathological habit of creating meeting requests and attaching 500KB+ spreadsheets, project plans, Word docs, etc.

I do think it's important to be grateful and humble.

However, you could similarly mock most decisions we make in the marketplace. If you live in the first world and you are shopping for houses or apartments, you might decide against one because of the decor. That would seem ridiculously privileged from the perspective of someone who lives in a mud hut. But the fact is that you have options, and you have to choose somehow.

A developer with 10 good job choices has to choose somehow. Whatever differentiates those jobs will be a small matter. But it will be a difference. If the market for developers tanks, we'll lower our standards.

This seems to run counter to reality. I saw critiques and criticism from regular commenters, but no "vicious abuse", outside of what appeared to be new/anonymous accounts. The HN threads themselves were linked to from elsewhere and drew in a lot of anonymous/new commenters.

Currently the domain check is done via simple DNS lookups. It's not the most reliable way, but it's very fast. Although there is a small probability of checking result errors, for the MVP I decided to stop with this solution.

I plan to apply for TLD Zone Access programs (like http://www.verisigninc.com/en_US/products-and-services/domai...) if this project gets a positive feedback. That would help to keep things both fast and reliable.
And obviously its not Monday, Happy Tuesday!
Probably using DNS and not whois. DNS is very fast and has no restrictions but can be inaccurate.
Hey, sorry for the lack of details. We're still working on that.

Basically, Postach.io looks in a notebook you specify when creating a site, for notes that are tagged as "published". This will make a post on your public site. Any images are pushed to our CDN. If a note is tagged with "page" as well as "published" its made public as a page. When a note is deleted or the tag "published" removed, it will be removed form your public site as well as any images from our CDN.

Hope that answers your questions ;)
Sounds awesome. Based on what I've seen so far, good job.
