Great work! This will be my first attempt at a timer based approach to task management. I've been meaning to give it a try for a while and this UI was just too neat to not try.
Eek; it sounds like you've hit a bug. Can you email me some more details? m@rkchristian.ca. Sorry!

Oh, yes — an audible alarm is a great idea. I'll explore that for the first update. I hope to start hacking on 1.1 with my lady tomorrow night. :)
Lee Iacocca used to be called a great entrepreneur for some of the same specious reasons.
This is why every developer (no matter how much experience they have) thinks they're woefully underpaid.
Something that we're used to see in China (China Telecom is regularly pissing me off with injected ads), but that I would not expect to see in the US. Though I seem to remember seeing such kind of practice once in San Francisco.

What are the legal recourses you have with regards to this type of forced advertisement?
> idées reçues [snip] anti-homeopathy

No, this doesn't fit: Being opposed to homeopathy isn't an "automatic thought or platitude" and it certainly isn't "self-contradictory". It's an acknowledgement of basic science. Grouping it in with the kinds of thoughts "idées reçues" was intended to refer to makes the term entirely meaningless.

And, since we're talking about language, this is entirely on-topic. ;)
Right, so the problem is consumers having grounding for a challenge rather than standing?
Salaried positions do include benefits packages, and in the US, the health insurance can be expensive or impossible for certain people to get. That said, if you know of one of those $124 freelance jobs in LA...

And individuals get caught in the middle. No one acts independently.
The minimum viable calculation when it comes to income really is something like: disposable income - (cost of living * standard of living)
I would say SF costs are higher but, not very much, on everything than Texas until housing is considered. I don't think that is a very controversial assumption; even gas might be $4 in SF and only about a $1 cheaper in Texas.

Equivlalent lifestyle is always fuzzy: do I need a car if I live in SF? Maybe but many do well without. If you are into urban living...you wouldn't be very happy in San Antonio. In NYC, this is magnified obviously. You can also move out of SF, and unfortunately, many jobs are in the bay area and not the city anyways (so live in Mountain View vs. SF and work at Google).

For the record, I still think SF is too expensive and would prefer Seattle or Portland for quality of life reasons (but I'm a native PNW). I wouldn't dream of moving to Texas, I didn't even find Austin to be very nice; I don't like driving and haven't owned a car in over 7 years (when I lived in the Bay Area ironically).

You're not paying attention, he's pointing out that S-Class resale is crap. Compare it to a Lexus if it makes you feel better. The point probably won't be missed by S-Class owners (first owners) who are arguably more likely to buy a Tesla S than you or I.
The problem is that they're giving students an incentive to make edits, but not checking the quality of those edits. That's a recipe for a lot of bad edits.
The repurchase option insures you against your reality diverging from Elon Musk's expectations.

Put it this way: Portugese Insurance Group (PIG) sells you an annuity that it promises to repurchase should the market crash. You find out PIG would go broke if it had to repurchase even 1% of outstanding annuities. "No worries," the broker assures you, "we really believe in this product. You will never have to take up the option."
Most good startups do hire this way. At least, at first. As you mention, it's hard to scale. A handful of larger companies seem to know how to recruit at scale... Google, Apple, Palantir, Facebook, etc.
A correct observation, one supported by evidence, is that using the dialect correlates with being poor. Making the jump from that to "illegal commerce" was all you, and that was bigoted, especially since AAVE is strongly associated with African-Americans.
Why only the 71?

71 people got no notification that the charges were coming. That's terrible.

As far as I can tell, everyone else got an email saying "we're about to charge you $99 unless you ask us not to". Not responding != authorizing

If I had any charges from Instacart relating to this mess I'd be claiming them back (but I might be nice and give IC the chance to refund it first)
Note this is the same fallacious thinking and biased observation that believes gay == flamboyant/effeminate, southern US == stupid, suit == powerful, etc.
If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. I know some people will always look for something new, but just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s better. Every major version of Windows looks completely different, while OS X receives UI tweaks in smaller increments.

I do think it would be good to simplify the look of some apps, like Find Friends and Game Center on iPhone, and Calendar and Contacts on iPad.

I believe the recent redesign of the Podcasts app[1] shows what we should expect from iOS 7: less textures, less color, dark gradients – but nothing that could be described as ‘flat design’.

You're right I should have mentioned that. But It gets complicated because a family would probably use this car for their longest trips/commutes, would use this one more then their secondary car for elective trips. Also this is grouping in single person households with coupled households and its including people who dont drive to work and the states containing the most people who would buy this car are also the states with higher than average gas prices as well. I haven't been able to find the statistic on how much an average Californian who drives to work spends but I think its on the order of hundreds of dollars in savings per month, which this article doesn't mention.
> That is what AAVE is, it is just English with a few additional rules that some people of low socioeconomic mean have learned (reinforced through bad education).

Nope: take, for example, the "axe" pronunciation of "ask." You can trace this usage in an unbroken line from AAVE to Southern American English to Modern English to Middle English to Old English. You see, it's not just synthesis that can create a dialect or language, but also retention.

By your argument, Modern English isn't much of a language either. Instead, it's just the result of hundreds of unskilled speakers through the trajectory from Old English to Middle English to Early Modern English not learning how to properly use cases and inserting foreign Latinate words because they couldn't speak OE properly.
Seller has a product, buyer has distribution. For each Android, NeXT and QDOS there's a bunch of similar companies that went nowhere.
Do you feel poor or do you feel not-rich? There's a difference, and not-rich = middle class. Poor is thinking twice before buying a pack of gum. Poor is hand making clothes out of scrap material. Poor is waiting on EBT before doing the grocery shopping.

That really sucks for your friend. But they exemplify the difference between broke and poor -- they were broke, in a bad spot; but I assume they're gainfully employed now and managing well (I hope).
Here's the issue: the people who are solving so-called "whole-world" problems generally don't describe themselves as technologists.

In other words, they use technology as a tool in broader campaigns aimed at solving societal problems. To name just one example of many, take a look at how the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is using apps to combat childhood obesity.

For people who are really affecting change, technology is a tool rather than a shiny new toy or a means to an end.
How does a wise and tactful man react to a tactless remark in a large group?

He doesn't. He might try to direct the conversation to more agreeable matters. He certainly doesn't draw attention to the offense and impress it indelibly in the minds of the others.

Generally, you are better off improving your own behavior than that of others. As Dale Carnegie pointed out, it's not only more profitable; it's less dangerous.
Nice! Just installed. I love the feature list. The fact that is was easier to install and has a nicer UI than Dropbox was a nice surprise :)

Since AeroFS never stores the files, the upload speed must be determined by the upload speed of every team member who is sharing the file, yes?

At the moment, how good is AeroFS at chopping up the bandwidth to get good speeds among, say, four users with upload caps of 1 mbps? How close will it get to 4 mbps?

Do external collaborators help upload on folders they are sharing?

.

P.S. for Ubuntu Unity users: after setup, as with Dropbox, there is one tweak. You need to run the old:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
Twitter creates more 'Cards' for displaying multimedia content
I don't know that you need a new relic type system just yet. I would look at the queries that are sent to the database.

Assuming you are using a popular framework like Symfony or Django, there should be debugging output that will show the queries generated by the ORM. Symfony will show every query and it's execution time for every page load.

You should also look at your database server's configuration options. For example, both mysql and postgresql have options to flag slow queries. You can also dump every query the database makes to a logfile.
Sounds are a great idea. I'll have a noodle on how I can add that without cluttering things up too much.

As for separate pre-defined timers, that's a pretty good idea, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that without making it quite a bit more complex. That being said, I do plan on adding AppleScript support and some Alfred workflows, so I think we can definitely get things cookin'. :)
Apple's GUIs have looked dated for quite a while. Come on, the multicolored gumdrops are a vestige of the acrylic-G4 era. Not to mention the late-'80s inverse color scheme that the Mac OS forces on you, while other OSes have let you create your own color scheme for over 20 years. Why keep pretending that it's a good idea to read black text off the surface of a glaring light bulb all day? And that's not getting into the functional design errors in the Mac OS.

iOS works well, but the look was dated from day one. And WTF is up with the only buttons available to developers being the crap-ass flat, rounded rectangle circa OS 7?

Because you need an lvalue to assign to, which turns out to be pretty painful when the underlying data is not (quite) in native format. The lvalue can't just be a reference to the underlying data, so instead you need to set up some parallel set of objects somewhere that wrap the data, and each of these objects probably needs to contain a pointer, so they may end up being bigger than the actual data they are wrapping. It really isn't worth the effort.
That's how I felt. I'm a California native and I thought I'd hate Texas but after living here for seven years I very much doubt I'll ever go back.
Ask HN: Where/how do you back up your "Million Dollar" source code?
This is a great article! I would say that first-time entrepreneurs should try to get a success even if it means they have to give away equity / get acquired. You can own 100% of your next business if you like, after you have millions in the bank and a track record with investors.

Okay, I'm gonna take a huge karma hit for this, but I had flashbacks to slashdot mentality here:

"But I wear a kilt you insensitive clod!"
If you drive the estimated yearly amount (15K miles) for the term of this ~lease you'll be over their 36K limit.

Kinda funky numbers for sure, but it is basically marketing. This is as honest as any car commercial.
That website isn't worth the electrons it's made of. I've used it in three moves now, and its indices have never been anywhere close to reality.

I just looked up their latest indices for Seattle, San Francisco, and NYC (143, 199, 169, respectively) - all cities I've lived in before, and these numbers bear no semblance to reality.

According to this, living in NYC is ~18% more expensive than Seattle - which is an absolutely laughable statement if you've ever lived in both places - 80-100% would be more like it. Similarly, it claims that SF is ~18% more expensive than New York, which a pretty absurd claim itself. There are places in SF more expensive than NYC, but overall it's still substantially cheaper.

Measuring a bunch of medians that sound like they relate to cost of living, and then throwing them in a blender for a weighted average... turns out the number that pops out the other end is more or less meaningless.

If you're being paid California-level salaries in, say, Chicago or Austin - stay put, the money is better where you are. If you're being paid the standard Chicago-area salary, moving to California may be an overall gain even accounting for cost of living adjustment.

Not to mention that some cities have more scalable living costs than others. There are more than a few software folks here in NYC who are cutting their costs to the bone and exploiting the salary gap to put a lot of money in the bank (for eventual startups, or moving to a cheaper part of the country, whatever). The problem with a median measure in a world with irregular distributions is that it ends up describing no one individual in the set very well.
The "older doofuses who didn’t understand the Web" seemed to have done pretty well with CollegeHumor and Vimeo without Jake. If they had run them into the ground, I imagine he'd write an article about how being acquired is always success.
I was given a second hand CR-48 when my 'regular' laptop died 4 months ago. I repartitioned it and installed Ubuntu, and have been using it as my primary personal computer since then.

Every time it boots up, it does have an annoying and scary unhappy chromebook, "press space to make chromeos normal" screen, but since I rarely need to boot it from scratch, it's not a big deal.

I have an external 64GB USB stick which I'm using as my main media & other storage, as the on board SSD is tiny. Fast though - LibreOffice opens faster than MS office on Windows... That is in fact one of the most annoying things about it, is the lack of HD space. I have to constantly be aware of how much/little space I have left, and make sure to clear the apt cache frequently, not install too many big packages, etc.

I'm running awesomewm as my main window manager, often with firefox fullscreen when browsing.

Work wise, I'm mainly doing dev ops, and full stack development on this machine. I also do enough media related work that I couldn't use this as my main work computer, and have a work iMac at the office.

It's kind of limited, but I kind of like it. I'm thinking to build a desktop computer (since I have an external screen already) with the beef for working on large photo editing, and using that as a server & workstation when needed, but sticking with this for portability.

I'm not sure I'd buy one - certainly not a pixel at that price... the long battery life is great, the weight and form factor is great, but a better processor and "real" HD would make life quite a lot easier at times.
Banks aren't willing to do a lease program with the Tesla because they don't believe it will hold its value.

Tesla can't self sponsor leases because they don't have the cash and might not be able to cash in the full credit (since they haven't been making good profits).

This provides the customer a lease like situation given the above.
Wow.

Even though they must be (given the realities of software development and the time windows they want to hit), it is still mind-boggling to think of a company like Apple (with its vast cash hoard) as resource-constrained with respect to what is probably the most important component of their flagship products.
Judges are incredibly powerful and have broad discretion to do lots of things. Doing something that provokes one's ire is generally a dumb thing to do.
SV here as well, independent contractor. 190k a year, ~6 years of experience, was making ~120k 3 years ago, ~40k a year 4 years ago.

Contracts are remote, so I could leave but choose not to for various reasons.

I'm a bit higher than average for freelance hourly. I'm thinking about getting more into "charging by value" (as opposed to hourly) because I get a lot of resistance to raising my rate even as I get faster - but I'm not really certain how to do this since I tend to have long-term relationships with my clients and my work generally doesn't tend to have clear start/finish boundaries. Curious to hear if anyone has figured out a way around that.
Funny bit is that YC companies always miss this. I think ya'll need a launch checklist. (:
> With a fat bank account, I was pretty set to do whatever I wanted for a long time. ... But it didn’t take long to realize that my new life was a hell of a lot less exciting than running an independent company had been.

Sorry, but this is completely self-contradictory. With your fat bank account, you can start a new, independent company. If what he wants is:

> our way of thinking of a better approach to consumer tech, with less structure and more play, an exploratory mindset that, through trial-and-error, produces very tangible real-world value

Then nothing is stopping him from doing that again. In fact, he's in an incredibly privileged position.

Indeed, being acquired and then let go lets you focus your energies on new things, rather than being stuck maintaining old things you created in the past -- "maintaining" things being something that established companies might very well be more skilled at.

So, besides being needlessly inflammatory, this post doesn't even make sense inside of its own logic.
Great entrepreneurs, in my opinion, Deal with others peacefully. They don't use the power of government to force people to invest. Or "distribute the risk" (a euphemism for overriding people's choice over what risks they choose to take).

Our government distributes enough risk to me already, while letting the pseudo entrepreneurs keep all the upside. That's the reason all those credit default swaps made by Goldman Sachs and others were paid for by the taxpayer.
In addition to redundant copies on USB drives stored at different locations, I suggest burning the entire source tree to CD/DVD and placing it in a safe deposit box with a bank. Of course, you'd need to 'refresh' that on a regular basis.

In some situations that is an acceptable solution to escrow requriements too. But you'd need to consult a lawyer on that.

IMHO any cloud solution is not secure enough for truly valuable software. Of course, you could encrypt and use more than one service - e.g. DropBox and iCloud and GoogleDrive. But ...
Fuck, if that is the definition of a dialect then every single accent of a language is a new dialect.
At my last startup we had a near miss on an acquisition that would've been a total waste, but the other suitors we were talking to would've meant a good leveraging of the technology.

I think realistically the companies most desperate to make an acquisition of tech and product talent are least equipped to make good use of it.

As an ex-CTO I could very easily see an acquisition going well.
It is, I just find these little quirks in language fascinating.
Microsoft isn't being stupid here. The puzzle is a hurdle. The donation and (waiting for) shipping are additional hurdles. Hopefully all of these hurdles filter well for the kind of developer Microsoft want to attract.
How much and to whom? Some poor people drive a lot. Some poor people don't drive at all.

EDIT: Also, you can't just give it all back. As long as emissions continue at something near current levels, you have to spend it on amelioration. It doesn't just become a slush fund.
Thankyou!

The app looked well and truly worth the $3 so I just bought it, but good to know for next time.
Not at all. Anything sufficiently novel is going to need explanation.

Just look at the tutorials in video games, which get you started. Or for a great example, try out the new Mailbox app -- they do a fantastic job of explaining how the swipes work. In certain cases, a little investment in "training" pays far greater dividends later on.

Of course, there are plenty of apps/sites that aren't novel enough to need this, where everything is straightforward.

I suppose it depends on how you define "larger." It seems to work well enough for banks with thousands of bankers and 100+ new recruits each year. But it is definitely expensive, and above all requires total organizational commitment. Recruiting becomes a substantial budget item, and very few people in the organization consider themselves "too important" to get involved with it.
