This looks great. One bit of feedback I have is that this seems needlessly more complex than Basecamp (especially new Basecamp), which could limit its usefulness for some people.

One of my favorite features of Basecamp is that it's not opinionated towards one form of project. It gives you the ability to add anything to a project, whether it's dates, tasks, files, discussions, etc., but it doesn't show features unless you're actually using them. If you don't have any discussions in a project, it doesn't show a "Discussions" section on the project overview; just a small link to "add the first discussion" if necessary.

Perhaps hide the more specialized features such as Reporting, "On Schedule" indicators, Clients, Invoices, due dates for projects, etc. until the user needs them for their type of project. This would make your product more universally appealing without sacrificing underlying functionality if the user wants it.
Outstanding differentiation between manual blog post circlejerking and automation. They're really one and the same. Isn't Google Plus pretty much only used by SEOs?
Interesting. This makes sense from a layman's reasoning perspective as well. People who spend an extreme amount of time with others don't spend enough with themselves and probably lose their identity. I guess my question is, what constitutes interaction? Does the brief conversations with my coworkers count? What about a phone call to my mother? Does all of this interaction being analysed have to in person and in depth?
Good point. When creating that particular concept, I turned to a friend and said "Ignore the car's GPS and speedometer.". There's definitely better use cases for this kind of thing, perhaps I'll add some later.
The business model of selling rides, which the Zeppelin company operates in Europe, didn't work out for recent startup Airship Ventures, even though there are more good weather days for flying in California.

Unfortunately, the bad economy, combined with the price of helium rising 10x in the last few years, eroded the business model to the point where they could no longer operate. Afaik their ship was disassembled and shipped back to Germany.
The court record strongly suggests that farmers can acquire Monsanto seeds and treat them like normal crops; I've looked for cases where Monsanto sued someone that hadn't allegedly sprayed Roundup on their crops and came up blank (but would welcome a counterexample).
No, but she could have shopped her project at Dreamworks or Fox and said "I'll give you my project instead of to Disney if you let me have some say with how you use my characters after the movie is made".

This again? Come on. When you sign a contract most of what can or can't happen is already spelled out. You don't sign a contract unless the stuff you're getting back in return outweighs or balances with the stuff you're willing to giving away. A reasonable person walks into a contract like this with a lawyer and knows exactly what they're getting into. This isn't the same as signing some credit card application where you don't get to make modifications to the contract.
What "unprecedented harm" are you referring to here?
Wow this is great. I will very likely buy the app when the trial is over.

One thing that was strage is the app asked for my contacts. I think it was due to something in the crash reporting. If you want my email address so you can provide support, that is great, but asking for access to my contacts turns a good thing into a bad impression.
The depiction of the character in the movie is not what is upsetting people...
Would it be a full time employee? Where would you find such a person? How does a technical person who doesn't know much about sales evaluate potential hires?
For example, there are systems that do video streaming directly from NAND-memory to NIC, bypassing the kernel to ensure high throughput (say, multiple 100Gbps optic links) and no jitter - linux handles the control part (data management, initiating new streams, etc), but the data part is outside of it.
This is at its core tremendous advice... But let me temper it: don't sell, validate. In many applications sale risk is cheap enough (customers forgiving enough) that sales-as-validation is ok. Sometimes it sets up really bad expectations, though.

It's easy enough to validate without selling: just don't take people's money. It's less valuable than sales since you can't be sure people are making accurate financial decisions until you have their money, but it's both dramatically better than sitting in isolation coding and carries very low social risk.

It's not about saying "yes" or "no" per se but the terms of a "yes": "We have time for your project after the summer. If you want it sooner, I can look if that could be arranged but I'm afraid it's going to cost you quite a bit."
I did exactly this last year and ended up with no new for January-March. It was a terrible idea and I'm now operating with the 'Open for Business' mindset too.
They should just understand that other girls have different preferences and it's okay to be different and like what you want to like.

> "look at this regressive stuff! How dare they!"

In this case it's regressive because Merida was originally a tomboy changed into the stereotype of a Disney Princess. I would not be outraged about this if Merida was originally that way in Brave.
I would buy the hell out of that. I might add a new concept to the project that whispers 'Anchorman' quotes in my ear in completely inappropriate situations.
Mosh Pit Physics Sheds Light On Strategies For Crowd Control
Random Access Memories available to stream on iTunes
The government wants to suppress hackers from distributing identity theft information out and about so that ATM harvesting (an exploding business) continues to be out-of-control.

But the problem is, the government is doing it exactly backwards. We need to be punishing AT&T for the fact that Weev gained access. Not punishing the person who got in.

It's cultiavating a culture of "It's OK to have no security". And as such, criminals are stealing your identity from everywhere all over the internet because the government wants to spy on the citizens.

If we have tons of weev's going around illustrating (proving to the world) that AT&T can be hacked by teenagers, then AT&T would fix their problems.

This whole situation is so disgusting. The people who are perpetuating the problems on the internet are the ones destroying the few capable hackers who are trying to point at the REAL problem. We need the government to pay Weev a million dollars every time he steals a batch of Identity information, and send the bill to AT&T. Eventually AT&T would be bulletproof.

It makes me very sad, kind of like when you see a criminal stealing some booze shoot a mother and a baby because they were witnesses and in the way. You just cry and move on. The problem of identity theft will continue to explode because the criminal is still lose, and the only solution was incarcerated.
I'm not sure but it sounds like you are falling into the "Google still uses PageRank" fallacy.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, "Email correspondence may not jeopardize the public or the safety, security, or orderly operation of the correctional facility. Additionally, it may not exceed 13,000 characters (i.e., approximately two pages). Correspondence that is not consistent with these restrictions will be rejected."

@jcampbell - I just installed the app in a new user account and it looks like that is caused by the crash reporter trying to get your email address. Definitely a bad experience - I'll see if I can fix it.
What goes into a Hacklab?
The ruling punted the issue of blown seeds, it was specific to this case - that the farmer knew and exploited a loophole to get 2nd gen crops while still agreeing not to.

Now, I disagree with the decision, but only on ideological grounds. From a rights standpoint, this ruling won't really answer the question of the canadian farmer and wind-blown Monsanto seeds.
I agree, with one exception: StackOverflow.
Awesome, glad to see there are already people bringing it to life.
Why is that regressive? They presumably polled a test group and found that most people preferred a sparkly dress instead of a black one.

My niece will probably prefer the sparkly version of the princess. She's 10.

That's not regression, that's marketing.
Well, Hipmunk (to pick a random one I've happened to use before) makes it easier to fly around, which causes increased carbon emissions into the atmosphere, which causes increased sea levels and higher global temperatures. YC is funding the destruction of the planet!

> We also hate corporations that enforce patents in software because it's ridiculous to patent software - how about patenting genetic codes?

Well, that's why I mentioned alternative IP regimes. I don't believe one should be able to patent a "natural fact" (such as my own genes), but I also don't feel that the skill and capital required to move genes from one cell to another in a manner which is still viable and ends up being more useful is completely immaterial.

For software programs we have copyright, not patent, to protect us. Let me be very clear, I'm a big fan of the GPL, and it requires a strong IP regime to work.

But I'm not sure that "copyright" would apply exactly to genetic code either, though maybe Monsanto could make that work. Pick your poison. :P
Just for the sake of discussion. Even if you don't like something a dead person said, usually you just concentrate on the part you did like. Lincoln didn't think Black people should hold office. I still think he's pretty inspirational, mostly because I ignore that other stuff.

Was she a likable personality - No. Don't like her stance on politics? Fine. Her thoughts on individuals with new ideas being persecuted by society - still pretty interesting.

I guess I don't understand the wall of rage people get into with her. Who agrees with everything someone says? Why can't we collectively look at the interesting things she said?
>Can't farmers still use non-Monsanto seeds like they could 100 years ago? My grandpa's small family farm has been doing just fine without for decades, after all.

Monsanto is somewhat infamous for suing farmers for planting seeds from plants that were accidentally cross-pollinated with Monstanto crops. So to answer your question, you can't use non-Monsanto seeds if any of the farms around you are using Monsanto seeds.
I would have bought it if you supported IBM SmartCloud
Gov does not want that to cease from happening. As it does not want violence from happening.

What gov wants is the monopoly in it.

It has the legal monopoly on violence, it want the monopoly on information gathering.

It's simple as that. Don't get in the way.
If you have any recommendation on finding/using a part-time sales person, I'm all ears! Dedicated sales would be awesome, but it'll be a while before we can hire this as a F/T position.
Indeed, I can see several differences. The colors, obviously, but also the child in the foreground is dirtier, the men at the edges are darker, the men at the center are lighter, and all faces are clearer, and the sky is darker.
That sounds like a sticky situation. I don't think it's a matter of trust, but just a matter of principle for me. He can be the most trustworthy guy ever, it still doesn't mean it's a good idea to give him ssh access to your business. That should be sacred. Because of the fact that they are requesting ssh access, I would try to migrate to another mailing list service, probably something hosted like Mandrill or SendGrid. I realize that is probably much easier said than done for you guys, but I think it's necessary in the long run.

In the meanwhile, I guess you can mitigate risk by making strict permissions for the user they ssh in with. Are they usually manipulating data on the production server, or changing code? If it's just code, you can give them access to a development server and push code to production by yourself after you've done a review.

> I like to use Google to find his/her company's press releases. Press releases always have at least one email address. This is a great way to figure out what format that particular company uses.

This is something I do all the time. I've guessed the emails of some pretty high-up people who were clearly quite surprised to get an email from a stranger when they've never published their email address anywhere on the public web.
Aaaah, a couple of ones that jump to mind:

Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I prefer the latter, but they're both great books. I discovered Rand later in life, after a lot of my beliefs were probably already pretty well locked in, but her outlook certainly resonates with me, and the inspiration I found in her books helps nudge me in the direction of truly to live my life more fully as my life, not someone else's idea of what my life should be.

The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins. I was already a borderline atheist anyway, although I tended to use the term agnostic to avoid arguing with friends & family, considering that I live in the Bible Belt. But Dawkins' book showed me a counter argument to the "irreducible complexity" argument that made sense on a very fundamental level, and IR was one of the last things that kept even a vestige of "mystical" thought alive in me. After reading this book, I felt very comfortable in being an atheist, and I also decided to quit dodging the issue and start telling people that I'm atheist, whether they like it or not. Also, see above: I'm not interested in living a life that's about trying to please other people. I get one crack at this, and it's fairly short. This is my life, damnit.

The World Is Flat - Thomas Friedman. Considering that I was already a libertarian leaning, pro free-markets / free-trade type, you might think that his book would have had little impact on me. But it actually made me a lot more aware of the various implications (pro and con) of globalization. Largely, though, it reinforced my thinking that globalization is - over the long term - a mostly good thing. It will hurt some individuals in the short-term, but it also creates a lot of opportunities.

But beyond all those, the one book that I consider the single most life-changing book of all... the book that I'd probably refer to as my Bible if I didn't get a bit queasy about even making that joke:

The Four Steps To The Epiphany - Steve Blank. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I had some ideas I was working on, and some plans to do a startup a while back. But I really had NO idea of the process of going from "an idea" to "a company" much less a profitable, growing, scalable company.

Reading TFSTTE felt like "taking the Red pill". Now I see the path from "idea" to "company" far, far more clearly than I ever did before. And while it's no guarantee of success, the process that Steve lays out feels like the closest thing you could get to a "paint by numbers" approach to building a business. We've been working through the Customer Development Methodology for a while now, and I'm pretty sold on it's value. And we haven't even always done it right (for various reasons).
Back in the 1980s, PBS had a science program hosted by Jim Hartz (Wikipedia says it was Innovation). It had a program about how the lack of touch -- physical contact from others -- also affected health. Part of that program showed the same kind of monkey research mentioned in this article. I once had a transcript. Too bad the program isn't online for all to see.
Since this is a hacker forum, I wanted to use an analogy that many could relate to here, although it seems not to have worked.

The problem with your reasoning, however, is that Sinclair had the choice of several publishers, and could have chosen to publish the book at a later date had no publisher respected the source material. The creator of Merida had no publishers; she had to submit to Disney and keep her fingers crossed, and they betrayed her anyway.

Combine that with the deadlines that she probably had to face for the character itself, and you end up with a decision by Disney that really deserves reprimanding.
Thanks. As a daily user of the tube, I would love to hear what your colleagues think.
That length restriction seems really bizarre to me. Is the purpose of that just to prevent their mentally ill inmates from bombarding the public with massive manifestos?

Does that limitation also exist for traditional non-electronic letter? Are inmates allowed to publish books from prison? I'm aware of the Son of Sam Law, which forbids profiting off the story of your crime. That seems to indicate that other stories are okay, but I am not sure.
Very interesting timing - announcing this before Google I/O.
To my knowledge there isn't one. I talked to a friend of mine that works on the Android core, and he said it'd be a challenge to do without continuously polling the entire view stack for changes. Objective-C's runtime makes it easy to hook into methods and watch for changes, but Java isn't so flexible. He said it'd probably require a custom build of the Android OS to do well. But I'd love for both of us to be proven wrong!
This movie presented a character who wanted to do her own thing, but because of societal conventions was being forced into her 'traditional' role. The movie (among other things) explores this and ultimately gives her the freedom she (and apparently you) desired. It doesn't say that not being a tomboy is shameful, it was intended to show that being a tomboy was not shameful.

What's wrong with having a choice? Should all movies show men only doing manly things? Is it shameful for men to be in less than stereotyped roles? The presentation shown to many girls is precisely that they are expected to fall into certain roles. Breaking that mold is not a bad thing.
So true, we had to read Steve Blank to figure out this one.
Our previous mindset was: let's build an 'MVP'(more like alpha/beta) and see how it goes.

Don't code an half-baked product to test the market when you can build demos and talk to real people.
As much as I now want to see the Disney Princesses do that while in their finest dresses...

In the movie, she objects to the sparkly dress because it's too confining and isn't anything like what she wants to wear. In the archery scene where she does wear the sparkly dress, she causes a mini uproar because you can see her corset and underthings as she rips the dress in the process of showing everyone up. Speaking of which, it's the same corset that her mother helps her put on in a painful scene before the archery one and she's told she has to conform to a specific set of beauty "ideals" to be a fitting princess and heir to the throne.

So, seeing Merida in the sparkly dress she hated so much and without her bow and arrows is pretty distressing to me.
Looks very cool! Καλή συνέχεια! :)
Girls go through something called the princess phase.

Toy makers know this, and ruthlessly exploit it. That's why toy stores are chock a block full of that particular pink / purple combination. It has been tested.

Reader, you think you AB tested that signup button? Toys is a multi-billion dollar industry. They've tested those colours.

But then girls grow out of that phase. Some of them don't ever totally leave it. See Bic pens for women. (http://www.bicworld.com/en/products/details/420/bic-for-her) Some of them grow out of it early.

So here's an example where a strong character gets trimmed down a bit. Disney do this because they want to sell merch. There's nothing wrong with making (a lot of) money, but watering down creative vision to do so is probably bad. And people are criticising disney for making this character less special.

We'll see what happens next time this character is in a movie. Maybe Disney will create an awesome story with strong plot lines etc.
This negative SEO is huge problem now and I'm concern about it.

What some bloggers are now doing is buying links to destroy competition. They don't even need to "order" black hat. They just go to fivver and order some of "panda optimized" gigs for $5 (these gigs just hurt - they dont help). And whola.... competition is toasted...

I hope this is going to be fixed somehow.

EDIT: Also is this is just an "urban legend" or real problem?
Can't farmers still use non-Monsanto seeds like they could 100 years ago?

Well, they can't buy such seeds at the elevator like they could 100 years ago. And now they can't plant elevator seeds period, without paying the Monsanto tax. (I know that isn't the explicit text of the ruling, but it is certainly its result for the most marketable crops.)

My grandpa's small family farm has been doing just fine without for decades, after all.

Yeah I'm sure his unicorn herd is thriving. If you actually have a family connection to agriculture, you know that outside a few sheltered crops like avocados, "family" farming has been steadily supplanted by corporate farming. I'm not against that per se, because competition, but my point was to impeach the oft-repeated lobbyists' saw that USDA is "for the farmers! [and their children!]"

what's the incentive to develop "superior" seeds if the first farmer who buys them can farm them and resell them at a lower cost until the end of time?

Monsanto already make a killing selling Roundup, to which these seeds are a completely complementary good. If Monsanto were good at business rather than evil at business, they would increase the price of Roundup and give the seeds away. (That would still be bad for both the environment and agriculture, but it wouldn't be as bad.)

this decision makes its harder to introduce those supposedly-evil GMOs in our American farms

News flash from the mid-90s: GMO crops are here already, in fact in many areas most farmers use them; that's why you can't avoid them at the elevator.
Ericsson did an LTE-Advanced demo reaching around 950Mbps from a moving van almost 2 years ago ...
There's no bow or arrows on the modified version. In that picture, she's been changed into a stereotypical Disney princess, and some other aspects of the original character design were also betrayed, like the hair and eyes.
It'll take a little over 2 hours on a 10 mbit line.
I doubt it will happen but I wish Google start to refine and simplify the Android UI. It's starting to get bloated and overly complex. There's only so many buttons, long presses, drags, and gestures you can jam onto a small screen. I've been evaluating a Windows Phone device to potentially replace my Android phone and it's so refreshing to have a UI that's not jam packed with features I have no desire to use. I wish the app situation was better but at this point I'm willing to compromise there to have a more usable UI. If Google can un-kitchen sink 4.3 a bit I might reconsider.
