Can you expand on this a little bit? What does a company like Foursquare post as collateral on a $10mm+ loan and what are typical interest rates? Will Foursquare be expected to pay back the entire loan in cash?

Spot on with "Why are you going for a 'home run'?" as being the most important question. Is it money? You want a challenge? Happiness?

Article below is a nice piece on why happiness = success:

http://hermannk.com/happiness-success/

I love the quote from Dave Greiner - " These days, my idea of success is a well-managed balance between time with people I love and a project I’m deeply passionate about. Right now, that’s Campaign Monitor. Time spent with each one of these has a huge impact on how much I enjoy the other. When I get that balance right, I’m at my happiest. And in the end, isn’t that what success is all about?"
Yeah - I'm unclear what's happening here as well. Did his bitcoins get stolen from wallet.dat, or did they get stolen from MtGox?
hoping an adult will come along and rewrite the copy for what is otherwise a good idea
If they have your wallet.dat file (which probably happened in this case), they don't even need to visit Mt. Gox to perform transactions.

The guy had a Trojan loaded up onto his computer where he stored his bitcoins. All this two-factor authentication stuff people are talking about is for `naut. He was attacked by a virus, and that virus stole bitcoins straight off of his computer.
Of course they are, but that approach worked for Netscape and Sun etc, who spent a fortune lobbying against Microsoft.

This is why Google now spends vast sums on its own lobbying efforts:
Learning From Microsoft's Mistakes, Google Invests Heavily In Influence
http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2013/01/learning-from-micros...

Whether it's a sensible approach is another matter. This warning from the Wall Street Journal is pertinent:

In 1999, economist Milton Friedman issued a warning to technology executives at a Cato Institute conference: "Is it really in the self-interest of Silicon Valley to set the government on Microsoft? Your industry, the computer industry, moves so much more rapidly than the legal process that by the time this suit is over, who knows what the shape of the industry will be? Never mind the fact that the human energy and the money that will be spent in hiring my fellow economists, as well as in other ways, would be much more productively employed in improving your products. It's a waste!"

He predicted: "You will rue the day when you called in the government. From now on, the computer industry, which has been very fortunate in that it has been relatively free of government intrusion, will experience a continuous increase in government regulation. Antitrust very quickly becomes regulation. Here again is a case that seems to me to illustrate the suicide impulse of the business community."

There's an old rule that says Do Unto Others As You Would Be Done By. In other words, don't start whining when the shit you sent around comes around.
I personally don’t know a programmer who successfully survived the boredom, disrespect and disregard that comes with age and experience.

I've been actively programming for 30+ years. Whenever I get a "Hello World" running on a new system or language I get the same excitement as I did the first time on my Apple ][. It helps that I work for a company that values experience and has a technical track so I don't ever have to become a people manager if I don't want to.

This isn't just an MS problem. Macs have the problem where users still believe their OS isn't vulnerable to malware and as such aren't careful either.
This is no different than if you made google.com.mytld.com, is it? You can, of course, still bypass default suffixes by using a trailing dot.

That is to say, http://search./ or http://apple./ in your example, or http://google.com./ in mine.
The prospect of getting rid of Trident is the #1 reason why I'm going to vote for independence next year.
It always bothered me whenever Groupon and Living Social were referred to as "social commerce" companies. Buying coupons is not a social activity (i.e. by sharing you're basically announcing to the world that you are a cheapskate who won't pay full price).

On the other hand, with their recent iOS upgrade, Foursquare may be in position to become the first true "(offline) social commerce" company. I've used their "Explore" function in the past and had a good experience - There's something comforting about the fact that I'm going to a bar or restaurant that's been "vetted" by one of my friends.
Can I get confirmation that the small segment starting at 1.49 is somewhere in Australia? Probably northern WA, NT or FNQ?
I can because I just found that very useful. Think of code that has an error in an window.onbeforeunload handler. By the time the console displays the error the page has switched. Without being able to view the errors from the previous page, this would have been impossible to catch.
The following page contains a link to a beginning Byzantine Chant textbook that explains the system:

The pdf is in Greek, but has been annotated with English notes throughout. It also contains embedded mp3 resources so you can hear what the notation is showing.

If nobody is using Foursquare then there is no location data to sell.
Not surprising that it comes from Microsoft, then.
I would suggest going to interviews for contract jobs, wowing them, then dropping the part-time bombshell as if there had been a mis-communication. If you're good enough, and they are a company who are reasonable (which you would need anyway), then it should be fine.

It's worth a try.

BTW I work part time, but I was upfront but had a personal connection who vouched for me before I was interviewed.
45 here, still enjoying it. and much of that description didn't really ring true. the obsession with computer science came at the start (i wasn't educated as a software engineer, so my first job writing code had me scrambling to understand the theory); what i enjoy most these days is crafting something well. it doesn't have to be rocket science - it's a pleasure just to make something that is so simple it is beautiful, yet works so well it makes others happy.

everything else - understanding inherited crappy code; fixing bugs no-one else can / wants to; listening to clients change their mind again - is just the price you pay for being able to do that craft...
And now, guess what MtGox advises everybody do? Go drink some Champaign! To celebrate their massive success! I'm not kidding-- look at their latest bulletin on why they're suspending trading for the rest of today.

You've got to be KIDDING ME. They don't seem to give two shits about their users or their money.

No, No, No. It is exactly opposite. It is the rest of the world subsidizing the US. The dollar is the world currency. It means that if any other country in the world wants to buy energy (i.e. oil or natural gas), or to trade internationally, it can do that only and only in the US dollars. About 90% of all dollars in circulation, circulate outside of the US borders. Think about it for a second. Your "genius" central banker Ben Bernanke may print and print and print and who gets hit by inflation? China does. Europe does. Japan does. You get just 10% of it and 100% of its benefit. So, yeah, with the whole world subsidizing you any, each and every time that a barrel of oil is bought, or m3 of gas is bought, or international trading deal done -- you can waste as much as you want, bragging how great you are, sure. But I tell you this: given unlimited and unrestricted credit any nation could innovate and create google's, healthcare and military equipment it wanted. It is just function of free credit. Someone else pays your bills. Clowns like Trump can go bankrupt every second year (as he does!) and still get even more borrowed money from a bank overflowing with it from the FED that gets it with only 10% downside, exporting 90% of the cost.

There are no miracles in this world and US is not an exception. Wait and see world turning back on the dollar, and we'll have a level playing field. Then we'll see how much the USA is really worth. Without subsidies.
If you have any interesting thoughts on that ("a sexy dashboard for enterprise sales") I, for one, would love to hear them.

We're an enterprise software startup, and both founders are techies, not salespeople. I'm working on learning enough about sales to get up past the initial "hump", until we can hire real salespeople. In the meantime, any thoughts on what metrics to track and their value / usage, would be much appreciated.

FWIW, we are working on developing a sales process largely rooted in Solution Selling and the ideas from Jeff Thull ("Mastering The Complex Sale", "The Prime Solution", "Exceptional Sales", etc).
Sadly, we humans respond well to stereotypical/conservative/sexist/gendered pitches. One of the sadder aspect of humans are our easy, obvious, and operating emotional triggers that work really well for selling ideas, products, and political campaigns.
Looks very nice. I love how the folders and coloured, gives me a better idea which folder I am in. Also love the text colours.

Music notation is not designed to be easy to learn, it's designed to be efficient for proficient musicians. The key issue is chunking - just as children learn to read individual letters, then words, then whole phrases, the rapid sight-reader has to be able to see chords and phrases rather than individual notes. This requires a strong understanding of musical theory, to be able to anticipate what's coming next and why.

Reforms to musical notation are like the frequent attempts we see to create visual programming environments "So anyone can program!". They're based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what the hard part is. Learning the syntax of a programming language is trivial compared to learning the abstractions of programming; Likewise, learning to identify note names and durations is trivial compared to learning to think intuitively about music theory.
That's not the best board option for long rides... I'd take a longboard type one with a larger, smoother, wheel set.

I think you are agreeing - It is the research that matters. Newton for example was a spectacularly bad teacher.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_life_of_Sir_Isaac_Newton#...)
It's been that way for a while. I'm hoping they change the way that works, as right now the only way to guarantee you'll get a buy order in is to use a tool like coinbase-trader(https://github.com/martindale/coinbase-trader), literally polling their API until it goes through.
ah, folklore.org. Great site, I think I must have read every story on there by now. You don't have to be an apple fan to enjoy them either.
I'd give my left nut to halve a room full of young, inexperienced and underpaid programming enthusiasts into a small group of know-it-all graybeards. Unfortunately, the human management mechanics don't work like that.
It still works. I wrote this[0] near the beginning of 2012; when I wrote it, it was a mystery, but I've since heard from a Google engineer that this happened because the Yellow Pages people purchased a domain that ranked highly for the relevant keywords. In other words, you can buy pagerank.

I have two toddlers, a third on the way, and no savings. I have discipline and had a plan (and had savings). The plan went wrong.

For the time being I do have job security and it is what I need at this stage in my life. That will change (hopefully), but the 9-5 is a godsend right now.

Plans and discipline don't have guaranteed "security" either, so beware.
They're not douchebags. I know the founders; they're very nice, funny guys. I winced when I saw this on HN because I knew it wouldn't go over well with the hypersensitive, humourless groupthink that prevails on HN.
Free floating has nothing to do with whether or not I can buy Rupees on the open market. If I choose to buy a ton, it could cause problems with their central bank who will have to produce supply in order to maintain the exchange peg.

My point is simply that it's pretty easy buy international currencies on the forex. IMHO easier than buying bit coins.

So what? Bitcoin's more than just a speculative.... pffft. Sorry, couldn't finish that with a straight face.
Maybe I'm missing something something, but where exactly is the exploit here? (0-day no less)

AFAIU, the user was prompted to accept an autosigned applet, and he did so. After that, the outcome was inevitable. You may hate java all you like, but it seems like the user (inadvertently) gave this program permission to steal all his money.

There is no "European economic collapse". Out of all the ways of generalizing about Europe, this is one of the silliest.

It's not exactly boom time, but most Western European economies are far from collapsing, and should the worst case happen and the euro fall apart, it is still far from certain that it will drag the stronger economies down with it.

In the mean time most people in Western Europe suffer far less from the economic crisis than most Americans and there's actual growth in Eastern Europe. Greece is an outlier, there may be more artificially propped up economies to follow and it may have wider repercussions because of the euro, but until then the great "European economic collapse" is a fiction.

For most of Western Europe, life is still good, money a little tighter and they may have to skip that yearly 2 week vacation in the Turkish sun. And this is ordinary working class we're talking about, not the elite. Collapse my ass.
Difference is that Google lobbies for their own interests, Microsoft lobbies against Google.

And one assumes that much of Google's lobbying is to counteract Microsoft's.

Also Google's competitors are teaming with Microsoft to destroy Google, their agenda has nothing to do with consumer welfare. Case in point: now they're lobbying against open source software.

sorry - i completely mis-read your comment and posted a snarky reply. deleted it now, but had already downvoted. sorry again.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars people funnel at a time to 419 schemes indicate that there are plenty of desperate, greed-clouded middle-classed persons and higher-classed suckers. I suppose Pyramids/MLMs also work well among the lower classes, but they're hardly limited to them, diversify!
I'm not quite sure your last point is true (ie "each successive round the odds become much better") although it's more of a gut feeling than anything else. The universe words in a dictionary is the same so every iteration just chooses another random word from the set. Am I missing something?
> ...it's likely to be tough to control costs and yet maintain R&D and innovation

I'm running a biotech/healthcare startup, and this point is rather interesting for me.

Most of these arguments against "crazy high" drug pricing in the US work to vilify the large pharma and biotech companies. I don't seek to defend them, but perhaps we can look at some of these conundrums through a startup's lens:

Getting my product to market is incredibly challenging. There's a good amount of novel technology development and research around it, and we're not even developing a therapeutic. We're working in a scientifically challenging space (cancer pathology), so things aren't easy.

Even if we can build what we are trying to, that's not the sum total of our costs. We have to invest a huge amount of energy into validating that what we've built is scientifically accurate, and then medically appropriate. This isn't for regulatory approval, this is simply to convince our customers (and basic ethics/QA, I suppose).

The standards to which our product will be held are quite high because we influence peoples' lives. That's the curse and the blessing of healthcare.

Given all the work we're putting into this and the nontrivial cost of the project, we'll need to generate significant revenue to make it work out. It doesn't come cheaply, but in the US we think there's room in budgets for us. We don't seek to price exorbitantly, but there's a fine line between that and barely surviving.

Virgin.com - Are hackers the new rockstars?
App Developers make more money than Doctors and Lawyers globally, according to an infographic commissioned by the Application Developers Alliance and designed by infogr8.

Why?

It so happens that many of those ‘app developers’ happen to be the core participants of what is now known as the hackathon, hackfest, or hackday. And they are proud to call themselves Hackers.

They are at the helm of an industry we call the app market which was worth £3.5bn in 2011, and is expected to grow tenfold to £30.5bn by 2016.
Erm, their "SWAT Team". Every single one of them a bit easy on the eye, no? Not exactly your "average" collection of people is it? Kinda fortunate, no? Too much of a dating site vibe if you ask me.
Did you read the FA? It was clearly stated that
1. the transaction took place in MtGox, and
2. the rest of his bitcoins were safely encrypted in his hard disk.
I can work 70 hours a week consistently and be fine.

I found myself disagreeing with the article until I read this. 70 hours a week seems like a decent number for an early-days startup. That's probably somewhere around my upper bound as well (maybe just a bit above it).
Never having done a deal like this myself (either as an investor or an entrepreneur) this is just a guess, but I'd say that there is no "traditional" collateral (i.e. hard assets and / or cash flow) like when a more established company raises debt. Rather, the debt investors are made comfortable by the fact that some of the top VCs (USV, Spark, a16z, etc.) are willing to put additional equity into a company they are all already heavily invested in. I assume that Foursquare is expected to pay back the entire loan in cash. I also assume that Silver Lake has some covenants which either call for payback or allow them to take control if certain growth rates and revenue figures are not reached soon. This is a complete guess but I'd say in the range of 10-20% annual interest.
Someday soon someone will make a similar app to hack self driving cars.

I do believe that the bitcoin payment network adds a great deal of value. As for the price of bitcoin, it is still mostly driven by speculation.

As a business owner, there is nothing better than being able to transact with anyone, anywhere in the world instantly. You certainly can't do that with credit cards or paypal.
