Aggregators are not the inevitable end game. This is like saying Walmart will eventually sell every brand in its stores, which is clearly not true. Differentiated retail opportunities provide different experiences and allow for price discrimination, especially when it comes in an all-you-can-eat subscription plan. Technically speaking, a stream is a stream, but HBO's entire $3bn/yr business is proof that content has different value.

Also, I don't believe it's clear that it's a winner-takes-all category. We're maybe in the first mile of the marathon, though Netflix has a huge lead. So long as there are viable aggregation competitors to Netflix that are willing to pay premium prices for exclusive access to content as a means to acquire subscribers/customers, Warner and other distributors/studios will sell exclusivity. Based on this comment [1], it sounds like Netflix chose not to renew.

I want to work in [some forms of] a society with 99% unemployment rate, owing to advances in automation.

It may be realistic in such a society to expect that the 1% still 'working' are going to be very good at their jobs, and doing it primarily for self-satisfaction.... such as Nobel Laureates. I suspect that people who aren't really good at their job don't want to do the job at all. They want the income, but probably not the job itself.

"Work if you want to eat" produces organizations rife with mediocrity.

With a sustainable population, mincome and a (continued) increase in automation, its not hard to imagine a world where everyone working wants to be there, and thus most of the people working are indeed A-players.

99% unemployment rate could be pretty good for both workers and non-workers.

If you're using an ORM, and you almost certainly are, it's equal to all the other work you do to map your objects. If you're querying directly, array_agg on the way out is the same work as unnest is on the way in. You can have your cake and eat it to. Tagging has been discussed a lot recently as a good excuse to use arrays in Postgres, but since the whole point of tagging is to enhance searching I think it really misses the point to do it this way. It appeals to our intuitions only because we think of rows as being large and string arrays as being small, but in practice this sort of intuitive "optimization" is almost always wrong.

Low carb doesn't mean no carb. If you limit meals to 5-10 grams of carbs or less, most low carbers would be happy. [1]

One of the more extreme low carb diets, the Atkins Induction Phase, allowed up to 20 grams per day. Other diets such as keto or The Zone allow 50-100 grams.

Ask HN: How long should it take to build this web app?
Hey all,

I am a new developer, a first year CS student, and an aspiring entrepreneur. I am building my first "real" web app this summer, and I am just looking for some general guidelines. I really don't know how long it is going to take, and I know a lot of this depends on the experience of the developer. So let me give you a little background on me:

I have been programming for about 2 years. I feel like my knowledge of Python is pretty good, although I never stop learning! I have been reading up on Django and have done the tutorial on models/views/etc. I also have done front end stuff, mainly playing around with HTML/CSS/Javascript, although I could definitely spend more time on learning Javascript/jQuery. I could go on, but I don't want to bore you to death, and I just am looking for an estimate anyways.

My app will handle many users at one time. It will basically be a CRUD app. The two things I really have to add in are Geolocation, and payments, both of which can be achieved through integrating third party services/API's. Everything except for logo design has to be done by myself.

So if I threw this at an experienced full stack developer, how long would it (approximately) take? How do I break something like this into smaller chunks to estimate the time it will take? And most importantly, how do I know which technologies I should brush up on prior to doing this - or do I just hack it and learn as I go?

Thanks in advance! Any tips - relevant to my question or not would be helpful as well!

EDIT: I am focusing solely on the tech side of things. While I know our product better than him, and very much contribute to our vision, he is responsible for handling business/legal/marketing etc.

33% of calories from fat means less than 33% by weight, since it's more calorie dense, and I actually don't doubt that they eat that much. If you've never cooked much French cuisine, there are a lot of cream based sauces...
You could start by looking at databases.

Because while freedom of speech is (in some places?) considered an inalienable right, speaking on the internet (writing/publishing) is nearly impossible to do anonymously. I guess one could argue that speaking in person in any context is impossible to do anonymously, but it's still an interesting technical challenge to figure out whether we even can publish anonymously. It's interesting because on the one hand, it's easy to get wrong, and because on the other hand, perhaps it's provably possible, in a manner such as this.
Yeah, this is absolutely amazing.

Please don't. chromium-dev is about active development work, not about discussing features. chromium-discuss is the place you're looking for.
This is pretty marvelous. I have always wanted to create something like this, but the details have always seemed daunting to me. I couldn't think of a way of merging recipes I liked with nutritional facts and then assembling building blocks for meal plans automatically without a ton of manual labor in data entry. Are these recipes crowdsourced? Have you just been taking copious nutritional notes for a while? If you figured out a way to integrate something like Epicurious or AllRecipes complete with pictures and reviews, it would make using this site so much more fun. Right now it feels mechanical which is great for people who see food as just fuel intake. But for me food is more than just fuel, its an experience meant to be enjoyed and savored.
Computers were doing that since forever though. Remember all those "your computer wasn't shutdown correctly, do try to do better next time would you" messages? Just write a bit into CMOS before doing a test, then assume the test failed if the bit is still set on next power up.

I made a ticket [1] about exactly that with a mockup (which I seem to have deleted from my droplr over that time; though it looked very similar to how iMessages looks now) 2 years ago and the response to the idea was a "no". You should make a ticket yourselves and see if they've changed their minds yet.

I'd love to see a single window UI in Adium but just making the mockup and saying how good of an idea it is doesn't seem to be convincing enough for someone to actually tackle the project.

It doesn't make the lawsuit more or less valid. But that's for courts to decide. It does make Opera more a jerk for pursuing it, which is what I am focusing on here.

By your logic, I should really wait for the case to be resolved to have an opinion on it. That, again, is the right take for a judge. But personally, I think companies suing employees is almost always a bad idea, especially when a) it looks like a way of getting back at a competitor, and b) it could have a chilling effect on innovation. So if Opera wants me to not see them as bullies, they are welcome to make a statement about why they're suing. If they do that, my opinion may change, but I'm perfectly comfortable keeping my opinion.
Well, actually, there's still an error in the first paragraph you might want to correct:

I believe there could some some grade inflation going on. That sounds like a "D-" or "F+" situation. You're talking about the far extreme left corner of the population bell curve, whereas the stated policy is all about the far right corner.

I'm kind of baffled why the feds got involved in the first place.

There's a reason why casinos have a sign on each machine that says MALFUNCTION VOIDS ALL PAYS. Normally they could catch someone taking advantage of the bug and declare the payout invalid. Obviously these payouts all passed any kind of tamper detection tests, so normal casino procedure would be to pay the man barring any other kind of funny business.

I think it would be a bit premature to call MariaDB superior to MySQL.

Also it should be noted that the InnoDB storage engine was developed outside of MySQL AB. InnoDB is a helluva lot better than MyISAM for most applications because of performance and support for transactions, consistency, etc. Without it I don't think that MySQL would be a good candidate for many applications, particularly given that Postgres has improved a lot. I.e. I'm not sure Monty should really get credit for everything about MySQL/MariaDB.
There aren't enough designers in the open source community, so I love seeing this effort. If someone implements this, perhaps it will encourage other designers to offer suggested UIs to other open source projects (some of which could really use some UI love).

It does not make sense for Oracle to try that. MariaDB demonstrates there is enough support to sustain a DB that is MySQL but without Oracle. They'd have to be dumb not to expect another MariaDB to spring up after the hypothetical takeover.

Not that the takeover is feasible, as the other answers point out.

Google just stole my employee #3
I offered a job to an applicant recently and signed the employment contract yesterday.

The candidate phoned me today indicating that he just received a Google offer. He offered to stay if I insist on enforcing the contract.

I told him to take the Google Offer because there is no point in forcing someone to stay whose heart is not here.

I had a previous experience where someone who accepted an offer but flaked out at the very last minute. I'm just surprise to see that I would be competing with Google...

My brain confused Tetris with Pac-Man, the latter of which is impossible to play after level 255, and I worried this was a glitch to get past that barrier, which would've probably meant the death of poor Woz from unending Tetris playing.
I tested this app back in December and was blown away at how realistic the "handwritten" cards looked. Selling a Felt subscription to businesses with the value-add that their sales team could quickly and easily write cards to their customers could prove very lucrative.

This is a good question. Most of the comments here seem to be concerned with figuring out voidnull's identity, rather than the motivating idea of whether such a thing is possible.

The easy answer to your question is, Banksy represents that domain. But perhaps he's not so easy to pin down? Still, I'd think the crew involved in Exit Through the Gift Shop[1] might have some leads. Seems solvable, that is.

The best thing about Adium is that every conversation can occupy its own little window, taking full advantage of OSX's window system. If you need to chat, the window for that specific conversation is right there to look at. Use exposé and you see all the chats at once.

Never do you have to open the monolithic Adium app, then click to the conversation that exists in a different 'folder'(since they use the same concept of Finder's sidebar).

I immensely dislike the concept of single window apps in OSX just because you can't dismiss the parts of the app you really don't care about. You can't see more than one portion of it at once, and you can't organise it on your very spacious desktop.

I remember when I ordered my mom flowers for Mother's Day (only a diplomatic gesture, since I hate the whole commercial logic of it), and she was quite upset that I had done something so impersonal as to order flowers for her online to have them delivered on the day.

I had still picked out the size and combination, mind, but something about it felt insincere to her.

Personally, I don't see a problem, but just a word of warning that some feel differently about the concept.

Perhaps a safe way to go about it is to send it to people under a certain age.

Open Source the game or rely on Mods?
What's the best way to engage other developers who would like to expand and extend a commercial game? Would open source be better, or rely on the mod community (and provide an extensible framework)? Curious, since I am running a project like this called "AC-10 The FPS Project". I would like other developers to make their own levels and perhaps items for use in the game.
I can't tell if your comment is subtle parody. But on the theory that you're really not kidding:

I have never heard of a campaign finance law that would prevent a corporation from putting up a web page. Have you? If so, please post a link to the text of the law. I'd be fascinated to read it. Heck, even if it's just a proposed law, that'd be interesting, so you can just put up a link to the bill.

For the front page demo, I like the method for suggesting the calorie count to input, but I would put a few examples front and centre so it's even easier for people to check it out. e.g., "For Robert who is 205cm and 104kg and reasonably active, try 3,200 calories for a sample menu to see how the process works."
