Actually that was a bit that should have been cut out. I previously had a paragraph in there that said most of my mailing list subscribers were from India (according to MailChimp).

I then went on and said that the people on my mailing list weren't very interested in opening the emails I sent or responding to them. I took the line out however because there's no correlation between being Indian and not opening my autoresponders.

I've got Americans and Europeans on there too and they don't open or respond just as much as people from India.

Another sidenote, this probably suggests that what I'm sending isn't all that enticing to anybody and could use some work.
Sunk cost fallacy; but hey, if you need another hobby . . .
Americans might think it superficial or an infringement of individuality to criticise dress, but in other parts of the world the concern is for others. Putting oneself together is respectful.
Part of it for us was the 'zoning out'. We had Netflix so no commercials, but he'd sit in his chair for an hour or more and just suck his thumb and zone out. Afterwards, he just wanted more. I guess that is a lot of the appeal of TV, just escaping from the every day of what's around us.

Well, if everything else was equal and all features implemented the "zero deployment/any device" would be a great thing, no? As I said I like the idea, not current implementations.

Personally I would use it - and even if it had only a fraction of functionality I mentioned - for remote pair programming. It's so hard to make people feel comfortable with Emacs/Vim+screen/tmux!

As an aside, I think that an online editor with scripting capability would quickly catch up to native editors in terms of features.
I have a hard time seeing formal clothing as anything other than an attempt to advertise an elevated social status. This seems to me to be at odds with the desire to create an egalitarian society.

Agreed, thanks for the feedback. I'm not a great writer, and my marketing skills definitely leave something to be desired. Nevertheless, it's something I've been trying to improve recently.

When comparing the copywriting I have on my product's website (Rakasheets, not Iron Conversions) it's leaps and bounds better than what it was when it first launched. Originally, my "copywriting" was a rant against using Excel sheets for inventory.

And personally, after re-reading this blog post I feel it was a bit jumbled and jumped around too much. Like I said, it's something I'm trying to improve.
True, but citations are qualitative as well as quantitative, so at least researchers should know that Controversial Paper X mostly gets citations as an example of "unusual findings, possibly due to methodological shortcomings" if they are deciding where it's worth summarising in the literature review section of their paper. And arguably (especially in social sciences) papers which provoke interesting rebuttals them are deservedly more influential than papers which are esoteric, trivial or dull.

I would have guessed otherwise, if this guy is an IT pro, he probably knows to use a long and secure passphrase. I'll be surprised if someone who knows can say the password was the weak point. Maybe you're right, but...

I'd think the most likely way to get in would be to find the passphrase had been cached somewhere, or the unencrypted key was accidentally copied somewhere onto a swap file from some shoddily built backup process that used up most of the RAM compressing files, resulting in that or some similar leak.

Same as you though, I don't really have the slightest idea.
That's what nearly all of the feedback I've gotten has been. "It needs to be like X or do Y".

I fought that for a long time but I've been forced to see that inventory management by itself is not something that many businesses can use. They need inventory + X.
Email interrupts too, and probably worse because it happens ALL THE DAMNED TIME. Slicker systems like Campfire can be better, but you're still dealing with asynchronous versus synchronous communication. Synchronous is almost always more efficient.

The whole problem with the OP's premise is that his root cause analysis is flawed. He sees that most meetings are inefficient, and therefore assumes inefficiency is caused by meetings. But meetings also provide other efficiencies. As long as the added efficiency outweighs the cost, meetings are a net win.
Inventor Of ADHD's Deathbed Confession: "ADHD Is A Fictitious Disease"
If your suit isn't comfortable, then you are wearing the wrong size and should get it tailored.
Why is this self-destructive? Explain.
I never really understood the appeal - I don't see that gives anything beyond what a simple tree control based UI can deliver. Perhaps it's a matter of taste.
You make an excellent point. Meetings are basically "team work breaks", where everyone gets to stop working but must remain together. Usually, team members discuss work, as that's always something these people have in common.

I'm contrasting this with the typical work break, where the team breaks into individuals for 10-15 minutes and everyone goes to a different location (water cooler, phone, bathroom, outdoors to smoke or stretch or walk).
I think you missed my point which was that Cato only applies this logic for cuts they don't like, and they never mention it for cuts they do like.
This is clearly a shot across Bitcoin's bow. A future takedown of Bitcoin (indirectly, via exchanges) will likewise be illogically blamed on illicit transactions.
What sleazy advertising taught me about my brain
I think it's lovely that a startup can go from fruition to abject failure in 4 months. If you really don't believe in the product any more, that's that and you should be happy you got out so quickly.

That being said, 4 months isn't a lot of time although it sounds like you've spent considerable energy on this product. If the software works you might consider unwinding this business through a sale or a partnership. If what you need is sales, find a motivated sales person. I definitely agree with other posters that you could use a motivated marketing person as well; you might still be able to make a go of it.

When we were starting out we definitely fell victim to the custom request bug, but as you grow you'll realize that no client is worth upending your whole business.
Do not feed the trolls - flag it and move on.
As a style averse geek I hate myself for saying this, but it really depends. I've never been able to convince myself to go spend at the highest levels (bespoke from Saville row, for instance), but it's supposed to be more comfortable than casual clothing. When I have splurged a bit on nicer clothing, I have found that even a little more quality in clothing can make the difference between stiff and comfortable. It makes sense that better fit and higher quality would be more comfortable. There was a fairly good discussion about this on HN a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4476397
Well, there are multiple capitalist libertarian schools of thought, not to mention left-libertarian, but from what I've understood the Rothbardian position (which, I believe, is pretty hardcore in general) to be, it boils down to:

1. It's impossible to calculate the true costs of an externality like "air pollution", therefore any number that the government chooses is arbitrary and unjust.

2. When an externality can be defined concretely as in "Action by person A harms person B or her/his property", then B can sue A to stop it and get compensated (e.g., a factory dumping chemicals to someone's land).

3. On the other hand, it's unreasonable for people to individually identify and sue car owners, therefore the best solution is to privatize roads, and then the road owner would be liable for the pollution, so he would have an incentive to raise prices or ban high polluting cars.

That said, this is not necessarily the position of the CATO Institute; I'm not sure where they stand.

With iframe you will be fetching all static resource which is already a win

But unless page-b is static with longer lived expiration, e.g. no `Pragma: no-cache` and so on, the browser may decide to fetch it again

Additionally you'll be rendering in a smaller frame, so re-rendering will likely be required. You can work around by sizing the iframe to match the window size, but that gets hacky. And you don't know what type of rendering work the browser may decide to do when you have display: none

But the iframe approach you suggest can be beneficial when:
* page-b's html depends on page-a's. HTML may be different but static resources are likely unchanged. Example: page-a is login screen and page-b is a members area.
* browser other than chrome

The iframe shouldn't be page-b , but some other page-c.html that only loads css, js, img and has no other content
This doesn't make much sense - because if without bootstrap.css you don't get any of the alignment, grid, button sizing, etc.

I think the OP is referring to all of those things, without the design styling - not the literal styling.
Unless you are the one who is being compelled to decrypt the drive. Producing the key is an act of testimony. You could not state for the record, the passphrase for the key, if you did not know it.

Breaking his crypto in some way, to access his files without cooperation, on the other hand... that is no fifth-amendment violation, to be sure. It also doesn't prove that he's been in control or owns the data.

I believe there are advantages and disadvantages to cloud based solutions, objectively the advantages that we offer are the following:

- Easy setup and update (all you need to do is signup) (good for beginners)
- Realtime remote pair programming
- You no longer need to setup execution environments on your computer locally.

We're definitely far from perfect. However I do think that there's interesting things to do with cloud based solutions, so that's what we're trying to do.

All feedback, for improvements are welcomed.
It works just fine in Chrome and Firefox here. Are you perhaps using an old and/or awful browser? He's using a px unit on his font size, but Firefox and Chrome have done full-page scaling for ages now.
ON UPDATE CASCADE is in the standard.
I'm pretty sure it would be fixed by changing the CSS font-weight directive; Lato is a great font, but they need to use 400 weight as normal, not 300, unless they're going to bump the font size up. (Personally I'd also darken the text color just a little, but it becomes surprisingly readable just by changing the weight with the Chrome/Safari CSS inspector.)
It's using bootstrap
Nice work! Have you played with Koding.com at all? This is very similar and seems to be a space that is heating up. I will definitely give this a shot.

One quick piece of feedback: some of the grammar felt strange. I'm assuming you aren't native english speakers? No problem, I'm sure someone can help you polish that later.
It will be interesting to see how much of an impact this has on criminal activity on the Internet. I am wondering if its a >> $6B enterprise or ~ $6B enterprise. My theory is that if there is a big decrease then this took a big chunk of the monetary transactions off line, if there isn't much of an impact than either this wasn't a meaningful amount of the transactions or the whole thing is just much bigger than we might imagine.
Cost of t-shirt: $15. Cost of perfectly-tailored suit: $x.

Solve for `x < 20`.
Why are property rights (ie. a government granted monopoly) an indication of freedom?

Edit: I literally mean property rights, not "IP".
I really doubt there's any full suit that isn't unbearably hot for me. I'm often wearing a t-shirt and shorts complaining about the heat while others are wearing sweaters and shivering. Casual attire gives you a range of options, whereas formal dress seems to always require layers.
They may have used to be true, but nowadays with fine wool, it really isn't any more. And let's face it, the level of improvement many of us engineers need to take is not to suits, but even to wearing something nicer than a t-shirt and loose jeans.
Could you use VNC or simmilar to do GUI screen sharing and use the editor of your (and/or your partners) choice?

Or they could just not include the H.264 decoder in the source code and leave the license the same, like they did with a few other components back in the day.
Seriously, HN seems to get one or more of these comments every time someone dares to describe some personal adventure as an "experiment". The implication seems to be that if you don't have a statistically significant control group, you should just not say anything, I guess.

You are correct that his anecdote doesn't actually prove anything. I rather doubt this is news to anyone, including the author.
It's a different article though, which only briefly summarises the original post.

Worth a read though, for the author's recollection of his (unsuccessful) attempts to reject a Karl Popper paper he thought was substandard.
Oh, I don't mean "formal wear can never be comfortable". I was thinking more of, for example, how I would melt in 100-degree weather in an old-fashioned wool suit. Also, I'm really more concerned with utility/durability than comfort- I mentioned comfort only in passing. My lifestyle tends to be a little rough on clothes.

You're certainly right though, quality material and a cut that fits you well is fantastic. I have a few nice polos that I got tailored as an experiment, and they are now some of my favorite shirts. I would have more tailored, but it's $20 a pop and that's only if the shirt already fits me fairly well- which most shirts don't.
If you're going to intentionally avoid using the tools the way others do, then don't get mad when their solution doesn't work for you.

Are you trolling, or can you not control your arguments?
I handle this slightly differently in that your recommendations are not publicly browsable, and should they become so then that will be disableable by a configuration option. I very much want to use it as a method of exploration, rather than advertising.

First of all Cloud9 is a very good solution, they are the initial pioneers in cloud coding, and they built some good technology that we contribute to (and use small parts of).

We really try to focus on simplicity and extensibility.

We're trying a few different approaches, one of them being providing a whole network besides the code editor itself, so people can share plugins, build teams, find freelancers (that kind of stuff).

Cloud9 is very good, we're just about 6 months old and a two man team, so we're exploring things and trying to innovate.

Hope that answers your question.

You need to move that Facebook button much higher on the page. I had to scroll to see it, and I have a larger than average screen.
It is fetched dynamically e.g. employee.boss.department. That will usually cause two more queries to the database. You can use select_related and prefetch_related so that these objects will be loaded into the ORM in one or two queries.
I don't actually think it's a good idea at this point either. Just throwing it out there. A few years ago it might have helped to throttle the influx of new users to a level that would have been more easily absorbed.

These are basically random thoughts spurred by the points the article makes as opposed to direct statements about the content of the article...

Microsoft always intended to use games as a stepping stone to becoming a broader entertainment play. They were talking about this publicly as far back as the Xbox 1 (the former Xbox 1, now known as the Xbox 1 that isn't the Xbox One) in the 2001 time frame.

I'm fine with that strategy and even encourage it, but as a gamer I'm distraught with other decisions they seem to have made (it is impossible to tell what decisions they've actually made from rumors or misreporting because they are failing on the PR/messaging for specifics of the Xbox One on a spectacularly epic scale currently).

In the long run, the Xbox 360 is kind of the odd duck of the Xbox line in terms of hardware architecture considering the old Xbox 1 was x86 based and basically a closed PC, just like the new Xbox One. Of course, the 360 happened to occur over the time period that Live proved that a full online experience for a console should be considered an essential component. (I just wish they'd stop raising the cost of Live while also increasing the amounts of ads it throws at you (without raising the value to suit), and stop charging for things that are free elsewhere (eg. Netflix, etc), and start using some of the mountains of money they earn from Live to provide dedicated gaming servers, etc).

The Wii U is actually a pretty nice device. I have one. I'll buy pretty much any system Nintendo puts out just to play their first party games, at least until they're forced to go the route that Sega did. But anyway, the remote touchscreen gamepad "second screen" thing is pretty cool I love using it for Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Instant. Being able to redirect the video play to the gamepad device's screen when the TV is otherwise in use is really nice, and it really makes things like searching a breeze compared to using a more traditional remote. Yes, you can achieve the same basic sorts of things with other consoles plus an external device like a tablet via things like SmartGlass, but with the Wii U it Just Works without having to dick around with anything.

You really think that's what it is?
While "revolutionary" is awfully subjective, Laravel 4 -- along with Composer, the package manager that it's using -- goes an awfully long way toward making PHP nice to use. Yes, that's also subjective, but I suspect that's unavoidable. I'm looking at it from the perspective of a long-time PHP developer who grew to like Ruby on Rails and really like Flask and Django in Python.

As for the facade that lets you make a lot of static calls, y'know, I don't think that does significant harm, and it makes it possible to write Laravel code that's almost as easily readable/understandable as Flask and Sinatra.
Ask HN: How can I make a good screencast?
I'm thinking of making a video screen cast (as opposed to a written tutorial) to show off my SDK and embedding it on the front page of my site. But I'm pretty clueless of the tools out there for OS X. What are the good ones to use?

Any tips as well? I'm thinking I'll record myself using the SDK, then adding my voice on top in a second recorded track. I would like the video to be 5-10 minutes, or just enough to show the developers (my target) what makes my SDK useful and productive. But this is just a complete guess at what defines "a good screencast".

Lastly, my voice is not the greatest to listen to. If there are any audio recording/editing technique to make it sound better please let me know.
So you're not angry at that particular developer, that person, but you're angry that people such as this person think it's a good idea?

I think it's a great idea to use Facebook to connect with other people. So this developer can see my interests and friends and posts....so what? So can all of my friends, and a lot of other people.

Privacy, since when have we had that? Your neighbors can freely watch your comings and goings, see who visits you and usually know what you're doing. Why aren't you more afraid of them?

I know little about the space or problem you are solving, but will echo the sentiment that although 4 months may seem like a long time (even given the effort) it really is a drop in the bucket of what it takes to build a successful product/company.

My unsolicited advice is this: don't write it off as a failure unless you really don't care about the problem you are solving -- in which case go work on something you do.
> 1) Freedom is not a necessary condition for economic prosperity (which undermines a lot of American rhetoric of the last 50 years);

As explained in another comment, this is not what the American rhetoric claims. It's rather the other way around, economic freedom is a requirement for political freedom and indeed, China has improved politically since it's opened economically though they still have a long way.

Fair enough. This is a good point. Do you have any example of Cato not applying this logic for cuts they do like?

You gave an example about a general tax cut, but I think the concept behind supporting a general tax cut is that the supporter believes that the tax cut will not increase the debt load in the medium term because it will stimulate the economy, so nobody will actually have to pay to cover the taxes that are not being paid there. While I may not agree with this belief, it is more or less mainstream economics, and seems to be in line with the case made in the Bush tax cuts article.
There is a ton of crass children's programming, but I wouldn't put Dora/Diego and other Nick Jr. content in that category. It has some educational content, and it doesn't even have commercial interruptions when it runs on Nick Jr. The worst I could say is that it grooms kids for the more crass/commercial stuff that comes when they migrate from Nick Jr to Nick and Cartoon Network and Disney Channel.
