What's incredibly unfair is that Austin will now have 2 Gigabits of internet while the rest of the world is bottlenecked at megabits.
My office for the past few summers has had a shower, so I biked most of the time. Riding the bus isn't bad either as long as you can wait in the shade.
The poor server already had load issues. The HN crowd has made it almost inaccessible.

Maybe somebody experienced in configuring MediaWiki could help them with some performance and scalability tips. Also, somebody could help with making the URI look better.
The more likely scenario is getting the timing wrong, e.g. price goes up to, say $300 before falling down to $100. If you don't have enough to cover it when it hits $300 or the balls to stay in until it goes down, you can still end up with a lot of pain. In the end it's the simplest to either go long or stay out, and let those who know how to manage the risk do the shorting work.
That is certainly one way to do it
Vagrant for VMware Fusion
You know, I think I prefer to live in a world where giant tech companies occasionally act in strange, irrational ways that result in random people getting multi-million dollar windfalls.

Especially if said people vaguely resemble, well, me. That being, entrepreneurial software folk running companies with trivially buildable products. That's the sort of person in my mind that should have as many foolish megacorporations as possible stumbling over one another to randomly dump tens of millions of dollars in cash upon them.

Given the alternative world, where all companies behave rationally at all times and nobody ever makes mistakes that could possibly make, say, me a gozillionaire overnight, I think I'll keep living in this world.

Keep up the good work, Yahoo!

[Disclaimer: I own a small pile Yahoo stock (that made me a bunch of money in the 90's and has been taking it steadily back ever since), so I probably lost a few hundred dollars because of this particular deal. I'm happy to pay it, much as people who buy lottery tickets are happy to pay it. Having a crazy, aquisition-happy company out there doing its thing is more than worth the price]
Yeah just got M-Net in January.

But we are blessed compared to the rest of the country.

Our genius federal government built the infrastructure first and then created a private monopoly who owns all of it. The worst of both worlds. The funny thing is they bought with all the money an US provider and are now the underdog over there.
College does not have a monopoly on knowledge. If college helps you learn skills and develop good working habits, then do it. If your instinct tells you your time is better spent working on projects and learning things that way, then do that instead or both in combination. Just don't make the mistake and assume any specific project will succeed, ever. Instead spend your time investing in yourself, developing skills and building a portfolio that will impress people more than a degree will.

The implicit assumption that there is a bitcoin bubble, is not a fact.

Was the .com speculation the last two decades a bubble? Is Facebook stock circa 2007 a bubble? etc

Rational arguments can be both ways and I'd be wary of anyone selling certitude on either side the fence.

Dashboards with far better API integrations:

http://ducksboard.com/

http://www.geckoboard.com/

http://www.telemetryapp.com/

http://shopify.github.io/dashing/

When I say I don't see the point, why would you limit the dashboard to an app? web browser based delivery is far better suited to this concept - The ability to display the boards on any size screen or hardware.
Does it even make sense to parallelize the layouting? When does it take longer than a few milliseconds?

I'd rather see DOM-updating (e.g. via Javascript) in parallel to the rendering. Although, that already leads to problems since rendering changes to DOM as well.
A conjecture is not invalid by default.

My reasoning is based on what appear to be, to me, on the surface, primarily selfish reasons for wanting to be the sole founder. As I observed when this blog post was originally made, it seems to me that you're setting up a situation where you'd almost exclusively benefit if the company succeeds (or gets acquired). This certainly wouldn't inspire confidence in me if I were looking for a new startup, so I would assume others would feel the same way. Given that it looks like there's very little equity sharing, I'd expect a very high salary and potentially turnover given that there isn't long-term incentives, and I don't, as an outsider, see long-term plans for building something huge. I'd be wary, to say the least, but that's me.

Maybe I'm wrong, it certainly wouldn't be the first time, so while it may be a conjecture, it may also be true.
Makes sense-- pretending to provide service is AT&T's core competency.
I really hope this works out! But the real question is: could this be used for atmospheric thrusters on Earth?
So the dashboard on the landing page is the real thing? Very cool, though no tiles except for Time seem to be updating.

Some people are old fashioned and don't like sharing confidential business data with third party services. Other than that - sure, no point whatsoever.
All great ideas, except for lobbyists. In reality, it's probably not reasonable to force someone to put up a bond to build a network. And a billion dollars is probably an order of magnitude (or two) higher than what it'll cost AT&T to completely build out Austin.

I believe google recently said they could build out most of the major population centers in the US for 11 Billion, so that gives you some context for a single city out of the top 100 metros.

I think it would be wise to take a year off after high school. I wish I did. Most of your college time will be a waste of time unless you know what you want to do in life, and then focus on that in college. Otherwise you are aiming blind for 3-4 years without ever trying life "out-of-the-system".
Start an ISP. You'll make a lot of money.
> There's no point, eh?

Correct -- if there are no legal or practical remedies, to focus on the speech or behavior can only waste time and energy. That's what the PyCon episode ought to have taught all of us -- it was purely negative in its outcome, for all involved.

> That's a great way to avoid holding anyone accountable for their peers' behavior or their own behavior.

Read the history of the PyCon episode before deciding that sounding an alarm at every slight is a constructive choice. The PyCon episode (which was based on speech, not behavior) is a perfect example of what goes wrong when everything is reinterpreted as a gender issue. It also shows the danger of escalation -- when the reaction is a bigger offense than the original stimulus.

> The way to address this is to call people out on their sexist bullshit and force them to own it, not to ignore it and thereby grant tacit approval.

If I believed that, I would call people out on their clear (reverse) sexist bullshit expressed in this exchange. But it's not worth it -- it's not important, it's below my personal radar, and I have better ways to spend my time. But clearly this is not true for everyone, for example those desperate to retain their victim status at a time of declining justification and rationale for that perception and status.

Better to ask yourself which actions move women forward faster -- constructive engagement with activities that will improve the status of women, or unconstructive complaints about imagined slights, or as a recent correspondent put it here a week ago, "microaggressions".

When I read the "microaggressions" meme, I almost fell off my chair. How can anyone think reacting to "microaggressions" represents constructive behavior?

Bottom line -- if the activity is simple speech, not a direct action that discriminates, you're better off ignoring it. Oversensitivity -- turning everything into a gender issue -- does more harm than good. It falsely portrays women as powerless victims whose ascending status can be undermined by words.
My personnal rule to guess whether a business model that rely on the app store is going to get destroyed by apple someday is this : whenever you make money, does apple make money too ?
If they don't ( and i mean directly, not because they'll sell hardware thx to your little app) then one day they'll get at you.
In the case of appgratis, they were loosing money. Appgratis was redirecting cash from the appstore into their pockets ( i know, that's a very short term way of looking at it).
Hey, if they want to do that and Google will co-operate, sounds fine & dandy to me.
Argument preview: the right to study genes
I found this bit confusing too, but in a different way.

The first time around, I knew I was making up a new password, just not where it would be stored.

Then much later I used a different computer (but firefox sync'ed) and tried logging in to Persona, got asked for a password, and thought "oh, so now I make up a new one because it's a new browser and this is BrowserID? Where is this password stored anyway?"

I'm guessing that password is stored on persona.org, not in my sync profile, but even after reading http://lloyd.io/how-browserid-works I still find this one point confusing.

EDIT: I now see that the creation bit has a "verify" field whereas the sign-in bit has only one field, I guess that should have been my hint to use the same password as before. I'm still wondering though how it works when you have several email accounts on one browser, do they all share the same password? Does persona.org know that I have all those email addresses?

Another take at dashboards is what we're taking with manager's team dashboards at Weekdone: http://blog.weekdone.com/be-a-better-manager-new-team-dashbo...

What we're trying to do is connect analytics dashboards to real actionable people behind some nice graphs.
Awesome! Looks super similar to an old sideproject of mine, www.bookshrink.com. The algorithm's different -- yours is aimed more towards summaries, while mine was aimed at sentence importance.
Why? If side-projects are just that, hobby tasks, then it's a toss up of spending $X disposable income on things I/my family enjoy, vs $X - $20. $20 is an additional day out with the kids, or half a pair of shoes for one of them... or an extra $20 overpayment on the mortgage (worth so much more in the long-term).

Bottom line: it has nothing to do with income, but what people value.

There's tons of human-generated TLDRs out there; I wonder if anyone's tried machine-learning from them.
They already offer this. Sadly though, it's really expensive: +12GB - $144 a year
Shouldn't (technically) there be a prompt function there somewhere? I mean, how does the computer know how many successes/failures I've had? :P

Just kidding!

While the whole "failure is the stepping stone to success" thing is high these days, especially with startups, It doesn't work for me. Obviously teaches us a lot, but then again, failure is failure. Embrace it, acknowledge it, and move on. Just my 2 cents :)
A link or something would help us all, I guess.
yeah, I'm working on adding more summarizer algorithms. I've been thinking on the lines of weighing up rhetorical questions, weighing down exclamation mark (cheap sarcasm detection) etc.

Does it expect a specific format?
Without trying your app (not available to US users) or knowing if it's a freemium or ad model, I can't really provide too much insight.

KISS and Mixpanel are nice, but there's little to no point in using them if you don't have your KPIs prioritized, and they may be overkill. I've found it just as effective to track growth via Google Analytics and a series of SQL queries, in conjunction with a dashboarding service like chart.io. I also used Flurry for a while, but it frustrated me quite a bit (Mixpanel offers a lot of the same features, btw). And if your app is HTML5, GA event-tracking is just as effective.

Since mobile is the primary interface, month-over-month growth rate is your live-or-die 'macro' metric, calculated as simply ('users_at_end_of_last_month' - 'users_at_end_of_prior_month') / 'users_at_end_of_last_month'. As of Apr 10, users_at_end_of_last_month would be Mar 31 and prior_month would be Feb 28. Many contextualize this metric as 'churn,' for which there are numerous calculations. Shopify gives a good example. [1]

Of course, it's way more complicated than this. And other KPIs include iTMS downloads/ratings/reviews, average time-to-subscribe, average time per session, number of events per session, DAU/WAU/MAU, e-mail conversion (assuming you manage lists/campaigns), etc.

There was also a pretty good overview of how to set up cohort analysis via SQL queries on HN today [2]. Here's where you may want to start using Mixpanel, but only if you're running targeted campaigns.

Most importantly, read up on Andrew Chen's blog, starting with this post [3]. This series by the Rapportive CEO [4] is also a good model.

Hope this helps.

As an end-user, I rarely, if ever, had to deal with the consequences of an app being rejected or delayed for release. Along the same lines, I feel that Apple has consistently protected the user experience with strict guidelines.

That nature can be patented at all is a gross violation of human rights.

That is simple. The city doesn't know what it's doing. They know Google does. They don't have to give any money to do it, just not charge Google to put their stuff in. Essentially they have to do nothing, get an ass-load of credit for doing it, and if it all goes wrong... well how can you blame them for trusting the company that some people literally think IS the internet?
The old days are not coming back. You can have as many ipv6 addresses as you want though.

But that's the big "if." It just doesn't seem realistic that any but a tiny minority of students would be qualified for even an entry-level position at that salary right after graduating from such a short vocational program.

There's nothing wrong with saying that this training program can well prepare them for an eventual career in tech, but selling it as, "You'll be able to make $40k/year as soon as you graduate." seems quite disingenuous unless you honestly believe it to be true. If so, I hope you're right. I am very doubtful.
ah, got it. if no entry text is present, I was assuming each entry to have a description field. Fixed it. if both entry text and description are missing, it fetches the url text of the link and summarizes it. pushing to heroku
For iOS apps there's something called "custom url schemes," which is basically a string that every app is self-assigned (if at all) that can be used to open up the app from within another app (or check the app's existence).

Not to nit pick, but I was able to get the only image I looked at down to 1/3 of the size with no noticeable loss of image quality. I understand you're showcasing your work, but image optimization is a big part of the job. Just something to keep in mind. It was the first thing I looked at, even before the actual image. And if you're advertising yourself as someone who can code it all out, it'd be beneficial to be able to see your code. I know this might seem trivial, but it's something potential employers will look at.
There's nothing wrong with typing Vjjjjj until it looks right, and you can still click and drag if that's what seems easiest to you. But if you're thinking of it in lines and characters you're missing the real advantage.

You're still mentally translating a what into a how. You almost certainly don't want to highlight 5 lines down for its own sake, you probably want to highlight, say, the body of a function. Vim provides a command to just do that directly.
try now. the blog.medusis.com/rss link works now. Thanks for the feedback. since this grabs the page text (when no rss text is found) a lot of junk like copyright notices etc. shows up in summary. Will have to add some logic to scrub those. It also behaves horribly with code snippets.
I don't think Google's strategy is to build these networks themselves but to demonstrate consumer demand and thus entice others to build them for them.

I can't imagine they actually want to spend tens, if not hundreds, of billions to wire even most US urban consumers with gigabit connections. This would radically change the nature of Google's financial position. Yes they would gain on search advertising but could it possibly justify the cost?

AT&T is seeking to demonstrate how competitive and thus unprofitable this business will be making it very difficult to justify the costs or even obtain financing. Sadly while this is good news for Austin it is probably bad new for everybody else hoping for a gigabit connection.
Well, people who are already users of the app can still use it like before, right? So I don't think you can say Apple is endangering the company in the short term.

Sure, it sucks to lose a few days' growth, but it should still be possible to AppGratis to do whatever it is they need to do to be accepted and go on with their life. Or am I missing something?

This article makes a fair point. Whether AppGratis breaks the guidelines or not - Apple did act in a very unprofessional manner. They could have waited a day or two and given the CEO a right to respond before pulling it.

But this is the risk you take when you build a Business around Apple's app store - any intelligent investors and employees should have known the risks, before committing to AppGratis.

As a sidenote, I'm really struggling to compute how AppGratis has 45 members of staff - whichever way I look at it (developers, sales, accounts) I can't see them needing more than 10.
