Seriously, this is not a much deserved response. This does not put bosiDNA in good light.

Why should he do any homework on your stupid company?
Why was he even pulled into this thing?

It was your complete mistake and you should expect to feel the brunt (that may mean such posts) even after you have apologized. Sorry does not mean that you are exempt from the brunt. Please stop saying sorry if you cannot take the blame for your mistakes.

First of all, taking someone's email id from another service (which says that they will never share), and then sending them email about free webinar? I mean every aspect of this practice (even when ignoring the fact that the email went by mistake) looks like spam to me.

Still, the most disgusting part is: why should he do any homework? Its his time and he can choose to do what he wants with it.
I've subscribed! Very good, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to provide enough content to keep me paying every single month! I just finished the two jquery! Excelent stuff!
"He?"
Yes.

It gives our individual price in Bitcoin.
Yes, but I think some of the other answers her suffer from survivor bias. The fact that some talented people are able to make movies that cost less does not imply that that some percentage of cheap movies are likely to be awesome.

It is NOT possible to make a high quality movie without a large amount of talent, at any cost.

You should evaluate your talent and/or access to talent as the primary driver.

This is part of the reason that while I have addresses with my real name, I usually use my alias. I consider it actually a bit odd that with my generation (grew up in the 90s) there's a significant portion of us that picked an alias and have had that alias for a very large portion of our lives, for me it's about 2/3 of my life.

Though to be honest even my own mother can't remember my email address even though I've had the same one for over a decade now. (HN username @ yahoo is one i've had for a long time).
You won't truly understand the importance of it for another couple decades.

Maybe more.

It's not like there are important facts they know that you don't (well, maybe). Rather, they will have refined their understanding of almost everything.

You have experienced this sort of thing yourself.

There are subjects that as a child, you thought you knew SO much about -- and (I'm making a possibly incorrect assumption that you're in your early 20s) as an adult you realize that your childhood understanding was hopelessly crude.

And forty-year-old-you will look back on your current understanding and consider it, at best, to have been unsophisticated.

I can only imagine what you'll think when you reach retirement age because I myself, am only in my forties.

I have however, noticed smirks on the faces of the elderly and wondered what they know that I don't... yet.
The Go developer he's citing is probably Adam Langley, who is responsible for a good chunk of pkg/crypto and is also Chrome's TLS security person.

I started with Go some months back and ran into a compat issue with their SSL library almost immediately (it couldn't handle Firefox's goofy SSL compat dance in proxy mode).

Assuming that any new crypto implementation was safe sounds like magical thinking to me.
I'm not familiar with their product, is their back-end choice going to limit their customers?

I think that a lot of developers that didn't start with front-end work find Javascript disgusting, maybe this team is in that group. When I worked at a consulting firm (that used a lot of C#) and we talked about node.js when it came out, everyone agreed they hated the idea of having to write more yucky JS than they had too. I think node.js was high on hype for a while and is less loved (esp outside of CA) than you might expect.

I've ported node.js apps to Go 1.0.1 and even back then the result was better performing, used less memory, about the same LOC and IMHO much cleaner, straight-forward and maintainable code.

I am not technomancy/phil hagleberg (obviously), but I thought this was a really cool project that I'm going to look into further. I submitted this a couple of days ago and immediately felt bad about it since I didn't own it and figured that Phil (technomancy) was probably better known on HN, or better able to submit it since he owns it. But I really want to see a discussion on this since I'm interested, so I'm re-submitting it. I apologize if I'm acting incorrectly and appreciate any advice about what I did wrong.

Sorry; the "he was wrong" applied purely to FogBugz' situation due to the Jira price cap, which is really not clear in my comment. That'll teach me to bang out a response on my iPhone in answer to a tweet when I ought to be reading a book.
Presseract, unlike other newsreaders, isn't just for personal consumption-- it's outward and inward.

So if a public figure like Paul Graham were to make a profile there, they'd want to show the world the content they care about--both what they wrote and what they read--to engage with their audience.
You're mistaken about that. APIs cannot benefit from something like CloudFlare. You need the connection to be live to the backend at all times, which isn't how proxy caches work. They take over serving content when the load is high.
Low-quality and dysfunctional friends and family are rife everywhere, not just in wealthy areas.
"Google starting to kill off projects, would Go be on that list?"

Key difference here, unlike Reader, golang is fully open source. So even if they did (which is unlikely because it is good and used by Google itself), it could survive that and still thrive. I feel it's got enough critical momentum even at this point (and even more so in the future).

This is one of the main reasons why I believe in its future and feel passionate about it. They started off right by making it open source. I would have very mixed feelings if it were closed.

In this example, you are both connected to the same session. Each client can't focus on a separate window. It looks something like this:

+-------------+
| tmux server |
+-------------+
/
+---------+
| session |
+---------+
/ \
+---------+ +---------+
| client0 | | client1 |
+---------+ +---------+

- `tmux server` is the 'backend' process listening on /tmp/pairprog

- `client0` and `client1` are the 'frontend' processes connecting to the socket /tmp/pairprog.

- `session` is the collection of windows that you are using.

The issue is that the currently active/focused window is an attribute of the session, meaning that all connected clients are always focused on the same window. What if you want to have each client focus on a separate window? This is behaviour that you get by default in screen, but you have to work a little more for in tmux.

The script is just a simple way to use session grouping, which would look like this:

+-------------+
| tmux server |
+-------------+
/ \
+---------+ +-----------+
| session |=| session-1 |
+---------+ +-----------+
| |
+---------+ +---------+
| client0 | | client1 |
+---------+ +---------+

Note the '=' between the sessions. I'm using this to denote that `session` and `session-1` are grouped, meaning that they share the same windows. Since each client is connected to a different session, they can switch windows independently.
Very good point! (Disclaimer: Lead Backend developer for Presseract here.) When we set up the page, we couldn't actually know what sources he reads, so it's obviously not totally accurate. We did, however, create a page with an assortment of things we thought he might want to consume, but as that's only half the story with Presseract, we also put some things we thought he would want his fans/followers/readers to read.

It means nothing. An employers perception of good will be different than your version of good.

I have heard some security researchers are not pleased with Oracles security fix response time.

Other people feel the JVM is highly targeted. Or has more security bugs than it should. Or is too bloated for the limited services they use it for and could be smaller and this present a smaller target. etc

I'm not saying these concerns are necessarily valid, but I have had customers who had no JVM rules...

It has to do with attention to detail, and for me it raises the possibility that I can't trust the technical aspects of the writing. For sure that's a grammar-bigotry on my part, I'm not proud, but I simply look askance a bit after seeing that kind of thing.
Ah, yes, because somehow wasting all that money on an election campaign is okay so long as it is voluntary taxation. Then I remember that this is the same group of intellectuals that voted up "Star Trek-like computer with voice interface" (a 15 line mashup that is neither a computer, nor Star Trek-like) to the top of HN. God bless America.
You are confusing the Java applet sandbox with the JVM. Serverside JVM applications don't try to safely execute arbitrary JVM opcodes from random Internet hosts.
I would agree that OpenSSL is safer than using Go crypto. But I haven't seen any compelling evidence that it is any less secure than other non-Open SSL solutions. Like anything else, find a bug, report it/fix it.
There's no difference between a lost bitcoin and one that is unused.
I have bills to pay too, but I try very hard to prevent them from being the motivating factor in my life. If I am living to pay my bills, then I am living my life in a wrong fashion. Creation is one of the most important and fulfilling activities that I know. Pursuing that activity for the sole purpose of paying bills seems to me such a great perversion that I would rather not create at all. Being paid for my work is fine and good, but working only for the sake of being paid? No. I would rather be poor.

That's because you're not looking for evidence. Just look at Langley's Twitter feed: Golang's SSL still has Lucky13 timing channels, and the RSA and elliptic/ECDSA code hasn't been assessed for side channels.

I like Go, a lot, but I think you should hold off on recommending crypto libraries ("I wouldn't hesitate to use this library in production"); that's something you want to be sure about before you develop opinions.
I don't think you should apologize. Sales does cure all. If your sales people can sell a thirsty man water living next to a fresh water lake, kudos, they're great sales people! But software is not that easily sold (at least not since the 90's, or not since the early days of iOS in the consumer market).

But the problem is that "sales as strategy" as posed by the OP is most likely short-sighted due to "sales person motivations" , i.e. sales this quarter that affect my bottom line. These types of sales tend to drive one customer's needs versus the customer base. Not always, but that's where product management and engineering can provide a valuable perspective.

And all of that depends on your targets. If 400K is big money for you, go for it. But 400k is probably only big in the context of one or two people.
All of these supposed science/history/nature related channels have been resorting to carnival style attractions to raise ratings. Ghost hunting, Bigfoot hunting, ancient aliens, pawning.
I've read Lean Startup and followed ER's work since he was doing the start up lessons learned blog. However he doesn't advocate salespersons as founders and CEOs, he advocates for a set of principles and practices which allow startup founders to test products in the market. This isn't the same thing.
The lawyer can give legal advice on what to say and not say, how best to approach the issue, what looks best when taking it to court. Maybe not get off scot-free, but minimise the punishment. Are there any options other than fronting up to court? Mediation? Medical costs? Perhaps filing your admission in a different jurisdiction might help (though I doubt it in the given case)?

Even just having someone who's calm, collected, and dispassionate speak at the trial can be an advantage.

Why document something that everyone does? History is captured in sources like published news, government statistics, personal letters, etc. A personal behavior that is widely understood would not necessarily be newsworthy enough to capture in any of those places.

This is a real problem for historians: unusual occurrences are usually well-documented in permanent media; everyday life usually is not.
Sqwiggle is awesome!
Because they can ask me what the project is about on Skype. Then my partner and I can both explain it and visually show them. Its not like we are trying to hide what we are doing or anything.
Its interesting to note that the the boweb-production servers of "www" don't have read-replicas (asynchronous replication) for read scalability. Anyone know why? Typically, one would use read-replicas to alleviate read workloads on the master.
I disagree, Go is slightly more verbose, but it leads to very clear code that is easily understood. Go code is beautiful.

Javascript's dynamic typing, extensive use of callbacks, its approach to OO, inconsistent braces and semicolons, etc are all felt by a lot of people to be messy.

For me lack of something like gofmt and a compile time errors also greatly detract.
Some of it comes from the fact that a lot of "bad-ass-mofos" are beginners.

I know it's really not fair to group together people (not everyone's the same after all), but a lot of the etiquette issues seem to stem from a common lack of manners by and large.

Also of note: Times have changed. Once upon a time, most hackers tucked their shirts into their pants. Now some have stretched earlobes.

The Fed prints money through an auction/market involving only privileged actors (a small number of investment bankers). The new money then changes hands a couple of times before being distributed wide enough to have the desired macroeconomic effects. By the time it reaches you our me inflation has already set in. In those intervening steps, profits are made that dampen the effects of quantitative easing, requiring that the fed spend/create more money than it theoretically would need to in order to have the desired effect. That extra money can be thought of an "economic rent".

Silvio Gesell explores this concept in depth: https://www.community-exchange.org/docs/Gesell/en/neo/
I agree with some of things you say, but with some don't. I agree with the fact that one should verify that there is market for his idea, but you don't need to have sales people for this.

Good engineers want to avoid working at companies, where engineering department is not on the top - on example they need to explain things, which shouldn't need explanation, or their boss see them as cost centre, not a profit centre and seeks to replace them by cheaper alternative.
If you don't have good engineers, innovation of your product stales and someone comes to steal your market, no matter how awesome sales people you have.

You mention that sales people are more important in reaching phase 1.0 in B2B companies, in getting these first 1000 consumers. Let's get two hypothetical examples:
- Company A, which creates bad product, but sales manage to sell it to 1000 consumers.
- Company B, which creates awesome product, but their are no good sales behind, so it is gaining first customers very slowly.
Then over the time first customers of company B will tell their friends that product is awesome and it will eventually reach 1000 customers and keep increasing exponentially (these new customers will bring their friends and post excellent reviews online). It is run by good engineers so they will analyse and listen to their users and keep making product better. On the other hand, company A will get terrible reputation, these 1000 customers will realize shortcomings in the product and stop using it.

Fact that you created successful company being a sales person doesn't mean that it is better to have companies run by sales people. One example doesn't make it for general rule. Do you know a company run by engineers executing the same idea to do the comparison?

You cite the fact that majority of companies fail because of lack of users instead of lack of ability to create a product. It doesn't mean that their failure wasn't caused by bad product - they could created something that worked, but wasn't good enough. This fact doesn't mean that they would succeed if they would have rock-star sales people on the board. Some ideas are just not fit for market and even placing hundreds of sales people doing the calls won't help.

I think you misunderstood what he's talking about. India isn't the United States.

Until recently India had a rigid caste system where it was simply impossible for people to move outside of their caste. If a person's parents were laborers, they became laborers - that was their caste. It had nothing to do with how hard they worked or if other people helped them. Their caste was "laborer," so that's the only job they'd be able to get.

It's not as strict as it used to be, and it's slowly dying out, but it does still exist.
Spinning reserve ought to be replaced with batteries. I bet some of it could be replaced with batteries today with the utilities' customers saving money, aside from the sunk costs not then providing the proper return on capital to their investors.
"You are confusing the Java applet sandbox with the JVM"
I tried to be clear I was expressing common views customers and people I have interacted with have expressed, not my own. In the context of marketing, perception matters.

But I hope you are not saying the server side JVM has never has security bugs..

Do you have any idea what the size of the order book is?
No one considers them to be absolutely secure. Rather there is a calculable cost to subverting the network, currently measured in the millions of dollars and growing. Having the cost of reverting a transaction be $X,000,000 is sufficient for most purposes.

Things I was Surprised to Learn about HealthTech
This comment fails on many levels. Here is another:

If this was our tax dollars at work[0], I would say it's a good investment since it worked and got Obama elected. By contrast, Romney's online infrastructure (ORCA), which in the context of this comment can be interpreted a non-tax dollars (i.e. private money) crashed on election day, and Romney did not get elected.

I would rather have my tax dollars spent on something that works than have something privately funded that doesn't work.

[0] which it's totally not, the campaign was entirely funded by matching donations and Obama did not participate in the federal election money scheme.
Thanks, I figured that quote came from somewhere.
