I didn't mean to say that's _all_ you can do, but people often expect more than qSA can deliver, especially if they've been using jQuery/Sizzle for a while. Sizzle also works around bugs in qSA implementations when they exist.

qSA's design shortcomings have been well documented, John Resig did a blog long ago about them [1].

The list of what you lose if you remove Sizzle is in the native selector file [2].

> The relationship between co-founders is usually the single biggest risk to a startup in the earliest stages

This doesn't seem true to me. If it were the case, I think going single founder would be a way to improve the odds dramatically.

He also posted a longer explanation in the comments which to me seems pretty reasonable. Sounds like in this instance there's a switching cost they are trying to overcome. We've all been there. I think the article's point should definitely resonate for anyone building a new app, and/or anyone with an app that has a lower cost of updating.

No, not at all like the USA. Japan is at least 10 years behind when it comes to the internet. It's a completely different situation. You have to experience it to understand it. The Japanese simply haven't grokked the idea of moving large aspects of their lives online, or even why they should bother to try to understand the internet.

There is more to S3 than just serving static objects off of the local drive. Maintaining the integrity of the data and ensuring that the data sent out is consistent is not a trivial task. A constantly changing map with 2 trillion keys is a hard problem on its own. Also, serving 1000 1MiB objects per second is not the same as serving 1000 1KiB objects per second so it's hard to say how many resources just the serving portion consumes.

Dwolla was trying to verify his information at this morning at 11 am. His business partner transferred money through Dwolla, so of course that's where it is right now waiting to get passed through to him.

If Dwolla is actually holding on to the money and refusing to give it back, then there's a story — but I don't see any evidence of that.

Like I said, these things take time. I believe this post was published about 3 hours after they called to verify the account — he tweeted about it at 2:06 PM.
You're right, there was more to the decision to pull the plug. Credibility was something that we thought and worked hard on. If you're credible with your shoppers, they'll trust you more. I still believe that data can improve fit, but it may be better suited for a company like Everlane (that makes their own product) than Rewire Attire (that retails product). The truth is, the survey was the nail in the coffin. The suggestion of the blog post is that I might have saved myself a lot of money had I done the survey early. The unspoken question is, would I have proceeded with the business had I known earlier? Is it an obstacle that I could overcome? Who knows. Do I regret the experience....never.

AFAIK DX10+, D2D, DWrite etc was designed for the new driver model introduced with Vista and if XP display drivers are used they either don't work or fallback to software rendering. And yes IE9+ depends on D20/DWrite for its rendering, particularly for canvas etc.
From the post: "...we’ve got jQuery 1.x to handle older browsers and fully expect to support it for several more years."
I think it's great. No one is forcing anyone to upgrade, jQuery 1.9 is stable and you can use it forever even with new browsers. So what if it's not supported after some unknown date in the future. It's solid and will keep on working. No one is forcing developers to switch, but in my case I don't want my users using older versions of IE. We develop apps for in-house use, and breaking old insecure browsers is a good thing, it promotes user upgrades. A smaller jQuery is great, as it will reduce load times a bit. I couldn't be happier with the decision.

payfirma looks OK, but they charge many overhead fees to start (i.e startup fee $230, monthly fee $30) while their swipe fee is 1.99-2.99% + 25c. I wonder what is the criteria that differ the % from 1.99 - 2.99%?

paypal and stripe do not charge overhead, but a higher %. They both charge 2.9% + 30c per swipe. I like this as they charge flat fee.

I think for a web startup, it's best to take no overhead fee until business is established. If I have to pay payfirma 2.99% + 25c per swipe, it would be good to go stripe or paypal.

Has anyone use stripe? Any good/bad experience? How's their dev support for API integration support?

Thanks.

I don't work on jQuery any more but I (and I know many others on the jQuery team) all build web sites as part of their day jobs (and, thus, need to continuing supporting IE 8). It's going to be a very long time before support for the 1.x branch is dropped. But hopefully soon, death of IE 8 willing.
Exactly. Not to mention this guy had a second chance the moment he stepped out of jail and what did he immediately do? He lied about having a CPA license.

There is no reason to trust him with any money and the authors conclusion that it was worth it because he found a deduction is absurd. Any tax account should find you the same thing and she deserves anything she gets from having this guy know her (and her mother's) financial details.
> For every problem, how many times did package management work flawlessly?

None. It built a massive teetering edifice of fragile interdependencies that incurs staggering human cost in maintenance, and has almost singlehandedly stood in the way of progress by third-parties that would benefit from working outside that system -- from commercial software vendors to OSS vendors that would prefer to be able to release versions on their own schedule.

If it wasn't for package managers making it possible to maintain fragile dependencies in lockstep, Linux distributions would have been forced to confront simple issues like ABI and API compatibility, third-party distribution, and other basic facets of producing a user-friendly and vendor-friendly OS ... we may have even had a "year of Linux on the desktop" by now.

Instead, we keep throwing humans at the problem of keeping the teetering pile of dependencies operational, largely because of people like you that cargo cult the ideas out of some strange combination of stockholm syndrome and a lack of vision for how things could be better.

Why was anyone was surprised that Google threw away the entire Linux user-space when developing Android?

> If you open up your microwave oven and electrocute yourself, is that because of a basic flaw of microwave ovens?

Your microwave doesn't refuse to operate unless you only buy food that has been prepackaged by your microwave vendor, that can only be mixed with other food also repackaged by that vendor, and only if all the food has been pre-certified to work together in that exact combination.
You could make the same argument about any law. The point is that makes it a weaker argument, not a stronger one.
People said that for the longest time about IE6, then Google just did it and boom, after the fact it was about as (un)devastating as the Y2K problem.

Not that jQuery has the same kind of power but you can't ask people to move forward nicely, you have to drag them kicking and screaming.

You are right on all points, I come however from 10 years of Vim and 15 years of Emacs so it is a natural fit.

I'm actually a little surprised that an equal equity split is apparently the default and preferred option in the valley. It's quite an unspeakable topic in my experience so I'd appreciate if someone could confirm this.

I remember being told explicitly in one startup focused class at MIT that it was highly advisable to decide one way or another who would have the majority of shares. We even played a role playing game where an equal split was the only wrong answer. The idea was that not everyone will be sacrificing and committing equally and that it was better to figure that out upfront than have it play out down the line.
These are excellent observations. I think one of the big challenges, though, is that seeing these issues coming can be very challenging. Subtle commitment or personal priorities issues can lurk under the radar and only come up when the going gets rough. I think the last point, regarding candor, is super critical for this reason; if your team is transparent about everything, then there's a good chance you'll realize things aren't right before things explode.
This is an excellent point, the site says "Up to 10,000 for businesses, with the possibility of increasing it". So obviously he's opened a brand new account, and then tried to pull more money than he's authorized for. That seems like it would take some time, and I would have talked to Dwolla before I had them send the money.

On a side note, I love their payment method comparison matrix (on the page you linked). It's factual, but a bit cutesy, and just a little bit mean to Paypal (who totally deserve it).
Yes, that explains it. Thanks for taking the time to write that reply.
A good co-founding relationship has much in common with a good marriage. Think of the output as being a happy family life. You can create that all by yourself, by adopting one or more children as a single parent. But it'll most likely be a lot harder than if you find a good partner.
STOP doing this!!!. This is irresponsible at many levels. A really huge mistake

Everybody knows currently that this guy is not suspitious at all and police will be glued to him 25 hours a day in the next weeks, but... what if the true bombers had seeing the photos of the guy with the big red circle on 4chan before his declaration?

What a golden opportunity for the ba[dg] guys could be... They only need to reach this boy, with name graciously provided by the stupid press, before the police gets him. Two minutes in facebook and they have the direction. Later, "the main suspect commits suicide" at home, "solved" crime and jail avoided... what's the next target?

Please STOP putting people inside a circle... just now! Don't publish the real name of a "suspect" with big uppercase letters! This should be strictly forbiden. Just give a copy of the photos to the police, is as simple as that.
Just like he threatened to veto NDAA. He will sign it just as soon as it hits his desk. This is a straight up lie.
Bingo. You nailed it. We know who Obama is now.
Second that. The recently updated Visual Studio Tools come with new MVC templates for single page apps using Durandal, which is based on Knockout and Sammy. There is also a node.js package and skeleton of Durandal. Durandal adds the missing parts to knockout and Sammy to make it compete in this field. If you add the "durandal" search term to the knockout chart line, it climbs above ember, deservedly.

The reason why I don't see this as a "feminist" demand, explicitly, is because sexual harassment is a crime that affects both males and females. That it currently seems to be something that victimizes more females is the matter of another discussion. But the judicial procedures that she criticizes, and I don't wholly disagree with her, would fall as harshly on women accused of sexual harassment as it would on men.

Now, if the OP had more evidence, even anecdotal, showing that the unfair pressure applied to her son was uniquely something that afflicts males, then I would not think the connection to feminism is a non sequitur.

And before you say, "Get real, men are almost never victimized by sexual harassment in today's world"...I would contend that you're thinking of "female assaulting male" situations...and I would agree. However, Title IX would cover male-vs-male harassment and female-vs-female harassment too, so to the extent that the OCR's directives could go awry, it is not much of a function of feminism. AGain, I would say the problems here arise much moreso from the difficult nature of prosecuting sexual harassment incidents than feminist sensibilities.
Clever suggestion...thanks
The obvious counter is all the other hurdles that penalize a single founder.

That said, I think being a single founder is a little underrated these days. Especially if you make an effort to address the known weak points of being one.
This is a welcome change. Considering the market share of IE 6, 7 and 8 is pretty minuscule and Google dropping support for IE8 back in November 2012 should be cause enough to drop it from jQuery too. It's great to hear they'll be supporting the older 1.9 branch for users who need to support older versions of IE as not everyone has the luxury of being able to ditch older versions of IE like that. There's no cause for concern here, the jQuery team covered their bases well and lets face it, there aren't many open source projects out there that drop support for older versions of something like a browser and then commit to continue to support an older branch for a lengthy amount of time.
That is the main reason. Another would be some sort of "Content not here anymore" message that doesn't conform to HTTP status code standards, giving a false negative.

I too hate the disabling of pinch-to-zoom on websites. Chrome on my Android phone has the wonderful feature (in accessibility settings) that allows you to always pinch-to-zoom (overriding the sites viewport declaration).

Until recently I too disabled pinch-to-zoom because it introduces so many bugs on every mobile browser I have tried - see my comments here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10747648/436776

And on an iPhone or Android app, you can't pinch-to-zoom.

If you think you can figure out ahead of time who will be "less committed" or otherwise less deserving of equity, then either (a) you're fooling yourself, or (b) that person shouldn't be a founder.
Crowd Source Patent Troll Challenges 
How many from the HN community would be interested?

There was a lot of positive response on HN to Rackspace challenging the "rotatable screen" patent under a provision of the America Invents Act called the inter partes review. This allows petitioners to ask the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review whether it is valid.

The inter partes review provision of the law went into effect in September, and petitioners have filed nearly 250 inter partes review requests with the USPTO.

This provides a cost effective method to challenge patent validity while Trolls are stuck in the demand stage (sending out demand letters).

The idea would be to have companies/individuals ("Party") who received demand letters from Trolls to post the same for crowd-source funding until the "goal" is met and then a petition would be filed with the USPTO. This would allow the public to fund the challenges to the most objectionable patents or target specific Trolls who have exhibited the most objectionable behavior.

The "Goal" would have to be determined on a case by case basis, depending on how much the attorney of record estimates, but I would feel comfortable that these petitions could be accomplished for no greater than $150,000 (attorneys fees and costs included). This could also expand to Trademark cancellations, but the clear focus is on the most egregious Patent Trolls.

Thoughts?
I agree, and the practice of sending an Authorization header without first receiving a challenge is common enough that there's a phrase for it: preemptive authentication.

If you don't care enough to vote, then why should your voice be heard? And if the majority wasn't as tepid as they appeared, then they'd prevail.
