Whenever anyone complains to me that its hard to make money on software, and/or the App Store is rigged, I always tell them I think anyone can make a living by making a bible app. You don't even have to be the best one, just pretty good, and iterate - it's the canonical product that you know has a big audience, willing buyers, and poor competition on the low end of the market.

Case proven by this guy! The next time you think to yourself that there is anything needed to make money on software besides persistence, thoughtfulness, and picking something you know people want, you're in a trap of your own creation.

People who don't make money on their apps typically fail because they try to be too novel, try to make the app too good, or they don't stick in there long enough.
AP’s Twitter account suspended after hacking incident roils markets
This is a super helpful writeup on a topic I needed an intro to, thanks so much!
This might seem very controversial and "sexist", but I don't believe there's any "political conspiracy" involved at all - it's just political reality. This can almost all be attributed to a combination of 1: gender gap in voting, and 2: media misreporting of the facts - particularly mothers with children who are not made constantly aware of the statistics involved with these events.

http://grounds-strategy.com/files/gender-and-voting.pdf

> after 9/11, women became
much more concerned with national security issues.
Today, a significant majority of women, 43 percent, versus 11 percent of men, believe that a member of their
family could be affected by a terrorist attack.

Note that 43% + 11% is more than half the population; only 3000 people died in 9/11. That's 0.001% actually affected. Public perception of terrorism more accurately reflects the outcome of a full-scale nuclear war.

Mothers are extremely protective of their children (and this is not a bad thing) but when terrorism is reported in the news without also giving the context of the actual size of the event relative to the size of the population, it leads some people into a false sense of what risk their children really have. What the media outlets do, instead, is play into fears and make every attempt to keep these events as looking as scary as possible, because that's how they get ratings. Perhaps mothers with children are more apt to pay attention to this.

What is also interesting, and people here should try to consider this every once in a while, is that the comments on this site are almost exclusively young males. Most without children. So you won't hear things here from the mother-with-child perspective, which is a massive voting block.
Because most of it seems to not be outdated. And going by recent events I think everyone is quite happy to keep it the way it is. When the politicians get an idea in their heads it usually screws over the average citizen. And the bigger the task you give them the worse they seem at actually accomplishing.
If they allowed us to pick and choose what we want to download from friends shares as well as search our friends shares, this could become an interesting tool.

Imagine a private p2p site that you and your friends use. You choose who to share with and what files you can see.

Then add links to give to friends so attaching files in emails would be a sinch.

I much prefer Pocket's abilities to handle multiple media types.

I like how Pocket is a first-class citizen on all of the platforms I use, not just iOS. I know Instapaper has an Android app, but it sucks.

I prefer the design of Pocket over Instapaper. I'm not a designer, so I can't comment on which is actually "better", only which I prefer.

I do prefer Instapaper's business model. I would like a chance to pay for Pocket.

Finally, I am not a huge fan of Marco Arment, and would rather support Pocket than him.

Forget a Chicken in Every Pot—America Needs a Solar Panel on Every Roof
Agreed. Even worse, these percentage increases never seem to make it to market. If we got 1% of the added percentage increases to solar panel efficiency announced over the last 5 years, we'd be up to 10000% efficient solar cells. :P
I have to disagree; disk is ancient - it's mechanical egads! - while 10GigE is pretty commonplace now and infiniband and fiber channel are even faster.

Postgres on the GPU just screams HSA http://hsafoundation.com and more importantly AMD and their upcoming Kaveri processor. which will significantly reduce the latency of performing GPU calculations since the CPU and GPU will share the same cache.
It seems to me that you're entirely missing the fall-off over time but are just looking at the optimum case right after illumination or am I missing something?

The effective output level would have to be sized in such a way that even at the maximum time from the last illumination you're still above some minimum acceptable level which would mean that you'd have to be putting out a much larger amount of light than required early on.

I found that earlier - unless I'm missing something, it doesn't actually explain how the closure is packaged. Does the worker need compiled-in knowledge of what the master wants to execute in advance, for example? It's not clear to me.

I strongly disagree with your argument that internet sales taxes fall disproportionately on the poor. I suspect that it's inaccurate, and even if it is accurate, it seems fair to impose the same sales taxes on the same goods, without regard to how they are sold.

However, you do make several valid and important points here, which you neglected to make in your original post.

HN is a well-trafficked website. It is not out of the question that legislators, or at least business owners in their district, read the commentary here. Imagine that a legislator read your top comment that "I don't care about a level playing field", dismissing the idea as if it were obviously stupid. Would this legislator conclude that we are rational and sensible people, who understand the issues involved and are proposing something reasonable and fair for all parties?

He or she would probably conclude that we are just another selfish special interest group, defending our unfair special treatment because... because... um, I guess, because taking it away is "bullshit"?

"who should instead be serving as an example to young girls by climbing the corporate ladder"

Agree that seems to be the case.

"I think it would be more accurate to say that women want both"

Agree once again but I'll add this to that thought.

People (men are probably just as guilty) want to be able to combine the best qualities of many different people in one person to come up with the uber human. Using the example of women my ex wife comes to mind. She would take the best qualities of several different husbands of her friends and hold me to the standards of the combined person.
This is an excellent start! Have some q:

Why did you use yaml for configs? Yaml is/can be kind of fragile (whitespace, etc). Do you consider something more practical - nginx config formats?

How to set-up log collector? For example I need to collect logs from several instances. Could not find in cookbook.

How do you separate logs for different hosts/applications?

How do you ship logs? UDP? TCP? TLS?

How is this compared vs Logstash?

Thank you!
I'm looking for something like this too. My big concerns of a Dropbox alternative is:

* Ability to handle large files (300MB incompressible Photoshop) and able to handle large complete data stores. (1 TB, which is impossible with Dropbox)

* Selectability for certain folders on certain users (no need for all data to be on all machines)

* The ability to 'archive' files to only the host.

* Good LAN networking with host so that the portable machines (iPads, Retina Macbook Pros with puny 128GB HDD) can use it fine.
Does the traffic from this appear same as P2P traffic? I think my company might block my internet access if it finds out that I am doing p2p sharing; and I don't want that to happen.
> I think you don't get the humour behind it.

Sorry, no. When asking for people to back a project with cash to a maximum of $10K my sense of humour rapidly diminishes.

I do technical due diligence for a living and this raises a ton of red flags. So many promises made for a project that amounts to basic research is a bit much.

> Creating custom dna sequences is a pretty tough challenge.

My point exactly.
In this regard, to make it less gender specific, we would have to assign the term 'second shift', which, although this term is historically used in regard to women, it can also be used for men that have to do the majority of child raising and housework in addition to working full time.

So, if anyone, a man or a woman, is doing the majority of the housework and child raising ('second shift'), this article speaks to them.
Understood, but the SEC doesn't investigate every butterfly [1] transaction, and since you're spread wide its a lot more subtle.

You go with OpenCL so that you can use AMD's Fusion processor that will start will soon allow a GPU and CPU to share main memory.
They also complicate the range safety situation and make on-pad aborts after they've been lit impossible. Once they've been lit you're going wherever they're going, whether you like it or not.
I agree with everything except your last clause. :)

Most people do over think. But it really depends on your goals. If you're only looking for a small side income there's no reason to try something 100% new.

Sticking it out too long on these small projects can be dangerous though. We probably agree here more than not, but the trick is knowing when to drop something. If it's not selling and there's nothing fatally wrong with it, I say stop and move on.

Just my two cents though.
Is this site his question related?
That's just the tip of the iceberg. Many complicated projects have landing page which should not include the whole javascript app, but still need the same collections & models. Or for example website with CMS will include administration part which is fairly different in structure.

My applications are backbone based and my directory structure is similar to :

scripts/
classes/
collections/
socket.coffee
ui/
popup.coffee
page.coffee
models/
user.coffee
collections/
items.coffee
products.coffee
ui/
navigation/
top.coffee
sidebar.coffee
overlay.coffee
pages/
landing/
home.coffee
about.coffee
cms/
home.coffee
admin.coffee
utils/
templates.coffee
landing.coffee
cms.coffe

What's important in my app is classes path. I put there only reusable classes, and using coffeescript I can simply extend the whole module by

class Items extend require('classes/collections/socket.coffee')

module.exports = new Items()

Also I always use utils folder, for general javascript helper functions.
> Things do get a bit better when the child is sleeping longer. After about 6 months you can start techniques to help your child sleep through the night.

With the caveat that every child is different, there's no reason to delay "sleep-through-the-night techniques" until a child is 6 months old. We've found that by explicitly managing the eating schedule of our children, they've developed routines that get them sleeping through the night between 8 and 10 weeks.

Newborns are constantly adapting to the world around them. If you have a routine in place, they'll figure out how to adapt to it, and that can translate directly to more sleep for parents and happier parent <-> child bonding times. If it didn't have such a huge impact on parental quality of life, I'd say it doesn't matter how you approach getting them to sleep through the night. But it does have a huge impact, so it's foolish not to consider that when determining your approach to raising a newborn.
Obviously the main point is profit. But a Haswell GT3e will use much less board area than Haswell + discrete GPU + GDDR, while offering similar price and performance. The 13" MBPs are short on board area, so Apple should like this.
My Best Mistake: Betting It All on Black
Another downside of using Truecrypt is that when you make a change in your volume, the whole volume file gets reuploaded to your storage/sync service.

A better solution is to use .sparsebundles (Mac only) or something like BoxCryptor/encfs that encrypts files in the volume individually
If so, and only the later posts are about hiring, what, I assume, means you were hiring only after you've found about initial success, how come the first version ever came out?

Beside that, great story, great spirit, congratulations, I admire everyone actually getting things done :)
Sure but that's static RAM. DRAM has 50+ ns of latency no matter how close you put it to the chip.

What they can do though is achieve more aggregate bandwidth without increasing package pin count. Perhaps this explains why Intel was willing to allow Ivy Bridge to have only half the memory bandwidth of the previous Sandy Bridge: just not that many (non-server) systems were ending up with the four DIMMs required for full bandwidth.

So now they're integrating it into the package itself.

> Spread $15 - $20M in shorts across the basket, cover them on a 15% net gain in proceeds and then shoot the canary.

Eh, the percentage loss for DJI(https://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXDJX:.DJI ) and the NASDAQ composite(https://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXNASDAQ%3A.IXIC ) is around 1%, though. Unless you knew the exact stocks that would be disproportionally effected by this news, you're more likely to end up with around 1% net proceeds.

Which is a lot, but it's also what you could have gained just from being in the market this morning, or if you bought at yesterday's low and sold near close.
What? Do you only engage in relationships where you're stepped on?

Plenty of men I know have the conversation about how many kids to have or not have. Yes, biologically women do the child-bearing, but it is -- for most couples -- a conversation, a joint decision. Like deciding whether to move to Florida or take care of the aging parents or which career to prioritize.

As is so often true of the poor-me-I'm-a-disadvantaged-man crowd, it sounds like you are choosing to associate with unpleasant people. Respect yourself, and find someone who respects you. Sounds like it would be a nice change.

Wasn't that the user who was using a Docs form/spreadsheet to collect passwords from his customers? Google has stated that such forms are reviewed manually after being reported (for example, http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/docs/7pKj6aXBK...), which means there must have been at least two humans involved.

IMO the risk with cloud storage isn't in getting suspended by some daemon run amok, it's in data being too easy to leak. Files stored in Google Drive or Dropbox are just one accidental "share" click away from becoming public.

In short, the problem with ORMs is that they trade off efficiency for ease-of-use and conciseness.

In a world where anyone uses languages other than C for anything, this should be considered a non-issue. If something's too slow for Ruby, you can write a C extension or do some clever caching, or in general get to the problem and write around it. ORMs are no different.

I think the greater problem is ORM users being unaware or unwilling to write SQL where their tool of choice might be a bottleneck, and occasionally where ORMs deny the programmer the ability. I've rarely worked on an ORM project that never had to do a raw SQL query for efficiency's sake, but those queries are by a large margin the exception to the rule for any reasonable ORM.
Would be interesting to know how much of this reaction came from people reacting, and how much from the High Frequency apps reacting to the people reacting. I don't know if they have any way of figuring that out, but it would be interesting to learn.

No matter how tightly integrated it is into the package, I'm skeptical that Intel integrated graphics with 128MB of DRAM is going to replace an Nvidia GT 650M with 1-2 GB of GDDR5.
You missed the point and created a strawman to argue against. Gay marriage has no bearing on straight marriage so your analogy falls flat.

Men and Women (gay or straight is irrelevant) are inextricably linked as human beings that face the same problem of creating a future together that supports equality. To focus on one group ignores 50% of the solution.
If you could repeat that trick it would be a bit like a combustion engine. Every individual explosion doesn't amount to much in terms of force but a long sequence will get your car up to speed quite nicely.
Yep. And if you have kids and disrupt the career you're an argument for why women shouldn't be paid as much or selected for the leadership track and if you don't have kids you'll still be judged as if you could pop one out at any moment (and so be paid less and not selected for the leadership track).

It is kind of odd to work for something for years and then feel like you're pouring gasoline all over it and throwing a match: that's how I feel about my career and its collision-to-come with kids. It sucks. Oh well.
1% is huge in an absolute sense, but small in the impact it has on any one person. And small relative to some other news-driven price changes. Fair?
Interesting to think that having access to the twitter account for a major news source is like having a "big red button". I wonder if people won't be trying harder to gain access to things like this from this point forward.
Is there smth similar for Python?
It is not a body and personal choices that is under the question, it is sheer number of people and problems it carries. That does make it everybody's business and easily allows for disapproving statements if nothing else. Population density is a problem for the environment and eventually for people themselves, lowering average quality of life both due to deteriorated environment and strain on resources.

The strategy of relying on expansive growth to support the social net is easy, but ultimately unsustainable (not that I have better ideas though).

Naturally overpopulation is controlled by famines and diseases, technology just moves the mark, it doesn't eliminate it yet (there are still famines around). So everything will work out in the end, but it might be rather unpleasant.

Your comment makes talking about population control feel like a taboo (I'm not sure, is it normally considered as such?), and at first one might oppose it on the same principle one would oppose regular bigotry-of-the-day (homophobia, xenophobia and what have you). I think it should be treated instead akin to telling people they can't just dump industrial waste into a river even if the river is on their own property (for a lack of better example...).
When to give up is certainly one of the most interesting questions in start-up land, and side projects are certainly easier to give up on than businesses that involve other people.

Maybe it's the persistence of business that makes so much invention come from commerce. People in their garage get bored, people at work get paid to keep trying.
This is very cool. Why is the RFC source not available and what does it take to get it?
I'm not sure I understand the question, but I think you're asking how I made the app at all if I'm not a dev/designer?

I outsourced 95% of it. I created the initial mockups by hand and did some of the debugging, but the core app development was done by contractors. And yes, for $500.

The point is it wasn't great, but it was good enough to test the market.
