Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. I appreciate it. And we'll take your wish of Good Luck. The biggest things we think differentiate us from other approaches is the bootcamp approach by applying the learning directly at real live companies real world marketing problems. So no simulations. The other is as you noted at the end, the commitment to getting people jobs. What do you think a program should be priced at? I'd value your insight.
The other 99% has been stagnant, not ( as an aggregate measure ) going down. This is critical to understanding this issue. I will say that we don't have a clear understanding of this.

There is a general extreme preference for the present equilibrium out there. This is exhibited by employees and by employers. In the '80s, '90s, you were expected to job hop a bit to keep your skills up and to lighten the load when projects ended. That is no longer the case and I think productivity suffers for it.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with swearwords. They are just words like any other word.

Voting seems unattractive to me. If I trusted somebody and had enough respect for their work to give them commit access to a repo of mine, then I'd also trust them to merge whatever 3rd party patches they wanted. No point in tying things up with a slow layer of democracy. I can imagine having problems getting people to bother to vote at all on work they have no interest in.

Actually I don't have my own repos these days, but it's irritating to me how large the barriers to contribution really are in the free software world. We have complicated software, often more complicated that it should be, written in all kinds of different languages and frameworks, to the point that just finding the latest sources, getting the dependencies, figuring out how to build it is hard enough, then also understanding it well enough to make your changes, and then also dealing with the idiosyncrasies of whatever person or group is maintaining the thing, to actually get a patch accepted. It's not easy even for a decent programmer.
Love this title! Nice work 00_NOP.
This is such good advice and it works. For anyone who's afraid to do this, let me know and I'll do it for you, I'll call it CCCAAS (calling cancelled customers as a service) and I'll generate a report that shows all customers contacted, why they cancelled, or didn't renew, and as a bonus, how many we reactivated for you!
Because Econ 101. Jesus fucking holy Christ.

Can someone explain to me why otherwise intelligent people are so deliberately ignorant on this issue? Rich bastards want to screw ordinary people. That's it. That is all you need to know. It's dead simple. It's freshmen economics. More workers=lower wages. This has been going on for centuries.
So let me get this straight -- Patents not only cover the right to produce instances of an invention, but also for usage of those instances/devices also? So what happens if for example Ford is found to be violating someones patent on an engine part. Then even if Ford pays up a license, could the patent owner sue me for driving the car, and charge me a per mile royalty?

Part of me would love to see this happen, simply so that enough "regular people" will force their politicians to change the laws.
It's right there in the article. They funded ads for senators that support immigration reform, but the ads also touted the candidate's general positions, which included supporting the pipeline. Paying for an ad that touted support of the pipeline was likely the problem, not that they supported the pipeline at all.
To be honest, I read "Inter-universal Geometer", and I immediately wondered if it was an Anathem reference.
As mentioned, there are already lots of portfolio tools. However yours is really nice and I love the built in endorsement feature. My one criticism is there's too much branding on each user's portfolio. I wouldn't want the huge green "want a portfolio like this" link at the bottom of my portfolio. The logo link (top left) and "Powered by Hoverboard" link (bottom right) is enough.
I agree with what you say.

If I failed to do so already, please allow me to state that yeoman and its generators (including my generator) as well as Mimosa may very well be an "expression of opinion" of various developers. The opinion is regarding what makes a productive workflow. This will certainly change over time or, at least, on a project-by-project basis.

In a different comment I made on this submission, I mention that if you are a developer that has worked with Jade, CoffeeScript and LESS - and enjoyed doing so - then my generator may make the process of getting up and running with them a bit faster for your next project.

She is recovering. Her platelet levels have been back to normal for almost a year now. Her brain tumor is in remission as far as they can tell. That was a huge win, and it has allowed her body to take a break from the Chemotherapy.

Her team of doctors are great, but she has an unusual case. She knows that any information they gather from her will be valuable to someone else in the future.

Currently, she is trying to regain her "normal" life back. Simple things like going to the movies, is now a more complicated process, due to her motor skills. She has a great team of physical therapists that work with her weekly. She has been improving her physical strength. Last week she walked part of 5K for charity, to fight against brain cancer. (her tumor is benign, but in a place that causes problems.)

Thanks again to everyone who responded to this! I lurk more than I participate on HN...
In real life, you are totally true. The initial test that succeeds becomes/continues to be the real product. I agree with the parent poster that Mongo is awesome for testing, if not awesome for scale. I think the point here is that tech co-founders/leads need to make it clear that this is a debt that will need to be paid if things take off.

Because immigrants are not really people, right?
That's because "immigration" in this country is actually veiled dilution of the worker pool, externalizing costs, lazy, inflation of limited resources and thereby self-perpetuating wealth creation, deflates source country pressures for improvement, and drains talent from other places.

It is a pernicious practice all around and only advantages the wealthy of the destination country, i.e., USA. It's destructive, poisoning, and exploitative all around for everyone else.
> The Federal Circuit is really pushing the boundaries in trying to make their patent specialisation relevant to society.

The beauty of life tenure is that you don't have to care whether your specialization is relevant or not. Fewer patent cases for them mean more vacation time.

What's behind the Federal Circuit's sometimes overzealous patent jurisprudence is the echo chamber effect that comes from a court that so specialized. People who work very intensely in an area tend to think it's the most important thing in the world. You see this exact phenomenon on Hacker News with regards to startups.

There is also the fact that those on the Federal Circuit who do have engineering backgrounds have them in "Big Engineering." To use as an example, Judge Moore, who dissented in part in this opinion, has BS/MS degrees in electrical engineering from MIT and worked at the Naval Surface Warfare Center. How engineers in that space view patents is just wildly different from how software folks in Silicon Valley view patents. Raytheon, etc, isn't sitting around worried that a patent troll will bankrupt them. They do, on the other hand, want to keep Lockheed from stealing any of their ideas.

Perhaps the most salient point is that federal judges are highly academic people. For a legal scholar, the simple solution of "just ban software patents" isn't a solution, it's just a kludge. They seek some principled way to draw the line between patentable and not patentable. Which is why there is all this milling around looking for one.
So are you just as interested in shutting down (all?) existing pipelines? If not, what's the distinction?
Did anyone really want an in-browser editor? It's the kind of thing that's cool in theory, but not productive.
It's called consensus building. In the US, bills are often riddled with bits and pieces of pork barrel legislation that have nothing to do with the intent of the bill. In this case, FWD.us is trying to butter up these senators and representatives by advertising for something they want in hopes that the congressmen will return the favor when it comes time to vote for immigration "reform."

High skilled immigration is an issue that is a lot simpler where there is a lot more agreement. It ought to be much easier to move on that without considering the issuance of green cards to 7% of the population of Mexico.
How does it not benefit the immigrants themselves?
I'm pretty sure both of them are anti-authoritarian.
I'm running LMDE and I've got all the goodies by default. If there is something else that the package manager doesn't cover, I do this amazing thing... I download the source and make! Crazy, I know.
I think the thing that bothers me most about these kinds of things is that the status quo system will find rationalizations to make sure that logic will not be followed to its conclusion.

Don't worry, a way will be found that can fit the minimum justification necessary to uphold a fake framework of legitimacy. It always happens that way in our society, if consequences are too uncomfortable, well, let's just make sure the consequences don't happen and tell ourselves that it's legitimate that we just changed the rules of the game in order to triumph.
Thanks jerf, I have no idea why this made the front page. Clearly I have a lot to learn.
I am an immigrant, and coming here was constructive, sustaining and a very positive thing for me. I got a graduate degree here, and then started a startup that employs several people, enables our users to to access transportation much more easily (and in some cases safely) millions of times every year. I don't see how me coming to the United States has been a net loss for anyone.

I know (personally) at least 100 other people like me.
I've been addicted to the kernel page since I first found out about it 10+ years ago. When they put up the pay wall it looks than a month before I cave and subscribed so I wouldn't have to wait.

I read the kernel page and front page religiously, and read bits of the others.

I can't imagine how many things I've learned following the kernel's development. But the mailing lists are HUGE and thus hard to follow. LWN makes keeping up possible.
The fact that it allows whitespace-seperated words. It's just wrong.

It's weird, unnecessary, it just shouldn't be there.

Personally, I would've preferred:

>>> Enum('Example', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz')

(ie. Enum(name, *values))
They never suggested that. A simple cost-benefit analysis shows us that this pipeline simply isn't worth it.
The group supported a number of senators' stances on immigration reform, some of whom also happened to support expanding pipelines for gas production. Elon Musk, CEO of an electric car company, decides to leave the group. Not much dot-connecting required here.
No, it was a small client. I was doing a friend a favor (an investor in this business.)

Yes, they wanted me to agree to a fixed price, then they would ask me what to do. The term "rent-a-slave" came to mind.
So they're either incompetent or really shady. At least they're handling it as well as Linode did.

So simple it can't be linked to?
It sounds like FUD. I haven't seen convincing evidence that this pipeline will be any more dangerous than other pipelines.

Take that article with a huge grain of salt though, because the writer seems almost entirely clueless about the subject (which doesn't stop him from pontificating of course)... and more to the point, the general conclusion seems simply incorrect.

Japanese has a huge amount of variation in information density, depending on politeness, etc. Other languages can vary too, but not to the same degree in my experience.

Informal, colloquial, Japanese can be extremely dense because by default much is left unsaid (whereas in English there are many cases where one states the obvious explicitly -- "I agree" instead of "agree" etc). This is particularly true for written Japanese because of its ideographic content, which is extremely dense, but it's true of spoken Japanese too. Japanese is famous for having many homonyms, and one of the reasons it has so many is that words for many things are short, disambiguated by character in writing, or only by context in speaking.

However when one is being polite ... Japanese polite forms (and there's a big range of them) can be absurdly verbose.

So, which form do you consider when talking about the "information density" of a language? I dunno, but most people don't use highly polite forms in everyday speech, and much speech is pretty informal (among friends, family, etc).... and in Japanese, informal speech is generally very short and blunt, more so than English.

[Japanese can sound pretty "busy" because of the staccato nature of its pronunciation, but that doesn't necessarily mean there's actually more information there...]
It's a bit strange to be comparing any kind of recreative drug to alcohol.

What if I had a pill that had nothing to do with alcohol, but was super fun to take with friends and there was no detectable hangover ?

Would calling it a "synthetic alcohol" give it more chances of being legal in the context of the ridiculous War on Drugs ?
So, this is a very important case affecting the trend of patent enforcement in a profound way but does nothing to challenge the idea of software or business methods being patentable in a general sense. For anything to change in that regard, Congress must act."

Considering that it wasn't action by Congress that lead to this situation, why is action by Congress required to fix it?
Ask HN: I didn't launch early enough, I'm struggling and could use some advice.
I built an application to solve a very real problem I was having with sharing email accounts between other employees/contractors/assistants. It was a personal project that I enjoyed building in my spare time. I had hopes that it would also be useful for enough other people that I could make a 'lifestyle' business out of it.

In hindsight I should have treated it like a business from the start, launched early and got user feedback to guide the direction of the product and marketing. In reality I got carried away adding features I thought were cool but have no idea if they will actually be useful (or even more importantly that people are willing to pay for).

I've struggled immensely with releasing a product that I do not consider complete or perfect. It has been quite the internal battle to convince myself that customers won't in fact take one look and laugh.

The product I wanted to create (that solved my problem) would add an additional layer to your existing email address so that you could safely give access to other people and add a bunch of useful features as well such as email reminders, reporting, private notes, queued messages etc..

What is my target market? An overly broad and reaching question for sure, but I honestly don't know. I feel like we are a cross between a help desk and email management? I feel pretty confident that B2C is not the right fit for us but am I crazy to be ignoring them?

Is this something people that are even willing to pay for? Currently we are charging 39/month for first email address, 54/month for 3 email address and 79/month for 5 email addresses.

Thanks!

Not really, just saying that if there are so many leaks causing damages - questioning it is the least that can be done. May be the current capacity is enough and they could do more towards guaranteeing / eliminating leaks before building new ones. I don't know - just think that blindly accepting the leaks seems wrong.
Tech people and VCs especially know that big problems are worth solving more than small boutique problems.

I almost threw up when I read this. Are you serious? What is it about tech people that makes us so wonderful? And why do you think the rest of the population is so simple minded?

Furthermore I thought the group Musk is leaving contains other tech people (at least as traditionally defined). Are you saying that since they do not see the big picture as Musk sees it that they are simple minded people not worthy of being called "tech people"? Do you think any of the people on the supporters page[1] are "true tech people that know big problems are worth solving"?

How many joins do you think this page uses? A denormalized version that doesn't scale probably uses 25-50. I'll bet the scalable implementation uses close to zero.
Yes. That's how patents work.
Patents violations cover both creators of the infringing device and users.

Cancer patients are a major use of blood platelet donations, if anyone is willing to take the time to donate them. It's about a 1-2h process, and the place I go to (Stanford) has wifi, so you can sit there and use a laptop or iPad the whole time. You can actually donate platelets up to 24 times per year, and unlike donating whole blood, you don't feel tired or anything afterward.
I wonder if The Verge sees a similar effect when they post longer features. I certainly stick around there and at Polygon for the longer posts, not the short blurbs that feel like they trick me into clicking them ...
This is actually an example of providing political cover.

Immigration reform is not popular with conservatives, therefore politicians with conservative electorates (like Rubio, Graham, and Begich) might lose their next election if they vote for it. This makes them less likely to vote for it.

Running ads in conservative areas to promote immigration reform will not help; the dislike is too deeply held. FWD.us does not have nearly enough money or time to change such ingrained cultural beliefs.

So instead they run ads supporting the politicians on issues that conservatives already like--like energy development--to try to strengthen the conservative credentials of these politicians. That way the politicians will hopefully feel more secure in their seats, and therefore more comfortable with taking a risk by voting for immigration reform.

The hard part of this strategy is that you might have to run ads supporting things you personally disagree with, simply because it's a good political tactic. Musk probably decided that he cares about getting off oil more than he cares about passing immigration reform, so the balance was backward for him.

The first time the pipeline was vetoed, the objections were over safety and environmental damage:

"Opponents of the Keystone XL have stressed the environmental damage they say the pipeline would cause in the Sand Hills area, especially due to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the destabilization of sensitive ecosystems."

I think at google/facebook scale its not the cost of the labor but the availability of highly skilled and technical labors.

You have a good point of there. Japanese does not have kerning, so it is the grid base to begin with.

This and the fact that pictgraphical might be contributing relative acceptance of more texts.

This is actually funny, as I was constantly making jokes in the past with my peers, where western people write very comprehensive documents with too much information, that Japanese counterpart often won't bother reading.
> I agree with the poster who wrote that you need to take into consideration the author and his caliber even in scientific journals -- the quality control problem is a problem already today really -- but the effort necessary to get an article to publication raises the quality somewhat (and in turn prestige of relevant journals).

You realize that your argument is essentially "the blogosphere is not real journalism", right?
I'm sure they aren't paying the minimum H1-B salary at places like Google or Facebook anyway. It would be odd for some employees to be making $84k and others to be making $120k.
