Insightful piece. Thank you.

One point I wish the author would elaborate on is the value a company gets by acquihiring a great designer. I haven't used Summly so I cannot measure the talent of a designer Yahoo gets. But it would be wrong to ignore the design by focusing on technology advancement in "glue vs thought" argument.

How much would a company pay to acquihiring Jonathan Ive or Philippe Stark?

The author may be right to question the designer's talent or by googling "I use Summly", but it seems rather shallow analysis.
Thank your for the detailed feedback!

"My links show research that specifically says this is not true."

The researches show that there's no evidence of the importance of genders on parenting, and I agree.

That is quite different than saying exposure to people of both genders is not important. It is important just as it is important for children to be exposed to people of different age, ethnicity, culture, opinion, and such. This exposure helps them build complete mental models of how other people behave, which is important for the development of empathy and self-image.

This and all other solutions on this page doesn't work, when sticky block height is more than window height.

As a best-practices criticism, this is using a direct window scroll handler, which can be a bit of a performance nightmare. It's often better to use some sort of throttling to make sure your scroll handler only runs every X ms. The tradeoff there, of course, is that you get a slightly less buttery-smooth pinning experience... but in return your pages will still scroll nicely on non-zippy machines.

I'm pretty sure dmor is a woman... as such, unless you are as well, she's probably more tuned into issues around sexism facing women, than you are.

And remember, not every reference to gender is automatically sexist. "Wench" is a word which is completely archaic in the modern world and almost never used in any context other than some reference to pirates / medieval times. To me, it seems like quite a stretch to try and paint this as sexism.

But I'm a guy, so what do I know?
That's pretty interesting idea - clearing the path as it were.
So what does he mean by "bad startup" anyway?

Is that a startup that supposedly will hardly succeed?
I'm not sure Food Wench (servant) is in the same category as Marco Polo (worldwide trader), Dos Equis Guy(most interesting man in the world), and Jesse Pinkman (master cook).
I think your definition of "bad" implies a high likelihood of failure. Whereas I'd say that a "bad" startup is one with a low growth or profit potential; my guess is that pg's definition is similar. A bad startup can "succeed" and a great startup can fail -- they're totally unrelated things, IMO.
From a consumer point of view it isn't a game distribution service (at least I don't think so.) I make a game and I tell some friends about it or post about it on my blog and link to a page where they can find out more info and "buy" it (or grab it free if they prefer.) From the consumer point of view it might as well be a page on my own website, they don't care. When I bought FTL I went to the FTL web page and paid them $10 and got the game. I didn't need to join any communities or discover the game through a community or anything. This seems similar to that. (FTL offers redemption of the game on Steam as well, but that doesn't matter to me.)

[ As an aside, FTL is apparently on sale for $5 for the next couple days. I recommend this game to anyone and everyone who ever enjoyed an episode of Star Trek or Firefly.

Interesting. I don't have a lot of connections to... "your generation". (Sigh, I guess I'm to the point where I get/have to say that. ;-)

Therefor, I've been going more than a bit by what I've seen others writing in the press and blogging. Never an entirely trustworthy source of information.

Perhaps I'm part of an atypical graph. And/or the recent FB news feed jiggering has decreased my perceived quality.

My own reaction is probably primarily one of privacy. I don't get super-paranoid, but I don't want to be blatting my personal interactions all over a fully public, searchable interface.

It suddenly occurs to me to ask: The press -- more a few years ago than recently -- reports on different generational perspectives towards privacy including online. (As in, younger people... are more ready to take on the nuances, if not that they are simple unconcerned, as some perhaps misinforming reporting has claimed.)

I also read recently that a major attraction of Tumblr has been pseudonyms. You tell your friends what your Tumblr ID is, but you don't necessarily freely associate your (full) name with it.

Would you have and care to share any perspective on these points: Privacy, and pseudonymity in order to at least loosely control the resulting... "graph" and perhaps unwanted discovery? (If not, no worries -- thought I'd ask, though.)

True, although it gets annoying having to "rename" a package like this. If it's a package you use everywhere in your project, it gets old fast; canonical, author-defined names are always the best option.
Great, I recommend a live demo and screenshots too. Maybe a quick tutorial showing the process from creating a new note to publishing etc.
This. Carriers would distort any phone-based metrics in the US, as there are certain areas of the country where AT&T isn't available, and thus had minimal iPhone market penetration until the 4 came out on Verizon.
Yes, I am familiar with Yahoo's history as well - and clearly their leadership in the past was simply not qualified to buy their way to innovation - as they didn't come from an innovated place.

Yahoo is a web 1.0 company, pre-crash and just didn't have it in their DNA to innovate out - like you said, they choked those previous acquisitions to death.

That doesn't mean that the strategy of acquiring their way back to a good position is bad - it was that the leaders previously attempting to do so just didn't have it in them.

I say that Mayer is their last hope.
Be careful starting out with the age bomb in a forum full of "grownups" :)

Yeah, he did something right. But the article didn't question that.

The analogy to Tesla is not fitting because Tesla actually does innovate.
Everybody thinks everyone uses or should use the internet the same way they do.

I couldn't disagree with this post more. I subscribe to a lot of sites that accumulate thousands of unread items. In fact, I could care less about read/unread toggle. My RSS is indeed a river, but it's a river that sometimes I plunge wholeheartedly into and devour large chunks, other times I merely skim for items of interest. Then there are spots in which most is completely ignored. But it's still there and given the magic of SEARCH, I can pull up all the articles for a topic of interest, confining my query to just those sites I have pre-declared an interest in.

So I like the mailbox metaphor for being able to quickly traverse items and skim item summaries, so the real payoff for me is not just the increased efficiency in reviewing so much more than could be done by visiting each site (or even in a magazine/mosaic format) but also a repository ready to serve up information for any topic that I wish to browse upon in a future moment.

It used to be that they hired at GS-7, but accelerated you to GS-12 in 2.5 years. GS-9 at 6-months and then 11, 12 after a year each.

Within 10 years you'll get a capped GS-14 spot (105k-136k) and by 15 years, you'll have 5 weeks vacation, 13 holidays, alternative work schedule, 13 days of forever accruing sick time (think family medical leave for having kids). Oh, and you can't be fired unless you do something really stupid -- so clock in and out 9-5.

Oh and you get COLA increases even if you don't get step or grade raises.

The more I look into freebsd, the more I realise how awesome it is. This same thing has been in freebsd for ages: jails.

That, together with ZFS turns freebsd into one hell of a server OS. ZFS seriously needs to come to linux. And don't say license problem, "there is nothing in either license that prevents distributing it in the form of a binary module or in the form of source code."[1]

Evernote is perfect for using as a commonplace book [1] for exactly this purpose. The only drawback is that it's hard to view in a chronological order, which is a key part of the commonplacing idea. Seems like a blog platform on top of it could solve this right away.

I actually was just trying to provide some context and show that there are already some well developed P2P live video streaming solutions around.

I am not trying to say BitTorrent Live is proven or correct in anyway.

By saying that Live does that funny playback thing and PPSP dosen't I was not trying to say that I think it is correct or that that particular feature belongs in the network protocol at all. Just trying to point out a feature that I thought was interesting and unique to Bram's implementation.

PPSP and LibSwift both look like amazing, well developed and thought through projects made by very talented individuals. It blows me away how the ppsp protocol really takes everything into account (huge fan of the NAT traversal section in that draft..)

This seems to suffer from the same main weakness as attempts to simplify the tax code. The people who most care about taxes and best understand alternative systems are those who know how to work the current system. No doubt the Grover Norquists of the world have accountants who can use differing opinions of the rules to shave their tax bill. If our tax system was simpler or easier more people would claim all the deductions to which they were entitled then taxes would have to go up, but effectively only on those who already knew about all the deductions.

We might all be outraged about this, but we're not going to change who we vote for based on whether a given politician supports tax reform or not, we reserve that for things that directly effect us like SOPA. Likewise people who prepare taxes for a living will change their vote to punish politicians who are taking away their jobs, but will ignore stuff like SOPA.

Seriously I am on an iPhone and want to be quiet - please provide a (watch video or click here for words) description

And since I haven't seen the video yet here is my made up critical comments based on guesswork

1. I want programmatic control - so if its not an REST API using a secret token, I would rather not have to dump out to shell to manage the return values - is this really from command line - ie am I downloading a binary? Or do I use curl?

2. Redis infrastructure? Hosted by you on the other side of the Atlantic. I love having a redid database on local host it's blazing ly fast - what speed tests have you got that I can run with one command to compare local and remote

3. Security with redis is a joke out of the box (I remember some stat about 1/3 of live sites tested had a redis port open on the same host as the www. How is yours super secure and even more so with the pro plan?

Until I am back with earphones I hope that helps

Reddit already produces the top items feeds, so that's easy. For example, the weekly top proggit feed is http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/top/.rss?sort=top&t=...

You just add .rss to the url you get when browsing, before the args.

Then I used yahoo pipes to extract the top 3 items from that feed. I take the output of the yahoo pipe as input for my RSS reader, which collapses duplicates. I used google reader, so I didn't even need to open up my RSS reader for the top items to accumulate.

Here's the URL of the top 2 daily proggit posts: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=ee7c0181150e421fa...
+100.

I split my time between a large metro, a smaller metro and rural farmland. My unscientific breakdown is this.

Metro areas are serviced by multiple carriers, many of which offer both iPhones and Android smartphones. In my metro areas, I think iPhones beat Android devices by a few percentage points (10-15% maybe) as more and more Android smartphones hit the market.

Rural areas are serviced by 2-3 carriers, max. Often it's just one primary and one secondary carrier. None of these carriers--in the areas I frequent--offer the iPhone. It's safe to say Android devices are near 100% market penetration.

Were you to do a county-by-county breakdown (or metro vs rural), I think you'd see a huge difference. Were I developing an app for agriculture, iPhones wouldn't even come into consideration.

Elizabeth Warren's Unwarranted Wage
I long for a day when this can be the worldview of most everybody... when we don't even have to care about gender differences, because we believe (rightly) that every individual is afford equal opportunity to do/be/build/dream/create as they see fit, without gender (or race, or religion or skin color, etc.) even entering into the equation.

That said, we aren't in that world yet, so celebrating the accomplishments of female founders, and hoping they will serve as role models (or at least inspiration) for others who may feel disadvantaged or inhibited in some way, is probably a good thing.
Yes! As long as it doesn't break the guarantees of repeatability, we want to support as many networking topologies as possible. We're still looking for the best API to expose that.

Why do you say that these are strong brand names? I think all of the names are difficult to remember and spell. I know that finding a name is difficult, but the names of these startups are probably the least impressive aspect.

Wevorce - I doubt that people would remember this name

Startups can use a systematic method of determining if a name is memorable. I think the ability to remember the name and write it down and spell it correctly is the best indicator of a strong name.

I've done this previously by getting a short list of 15 names, then stating them several times in a video (in different orders), then using a crowdsourcing site such as amazon turk, get the person to watch the video and then write down which names they remember. This tests both their ability to remember the name amongst a crowd of other names AND their ability to spell the name. Certain names come way out on top.

Startups need to think very carefully about their name, because I believe the memorability of the name will have a huge impact on their success.
