Liberty Reserve didn't have the critical mass of pure cash to finance campaigns and install representatives that were dependent on their support. (Yes, I'm still upset that Occupy Wall Street didn't coalesce into an electoral reform movement.)

Really? We've implemented completely custom designs on top of Foundation for several sites now and haven't had any problems. Then again, we work to get the layout the way we like it with Foundation before we start designing, maybe that's why.

For us, things like buttons required a ton of overriding with Bootstrap when we customized the button design, but Foundation didn't. We found this largely to be the case because Foundation makes less assumptions about how buttons are styled to begin with. For example, buttons are pretty basic with square corners. If you want rounded corners, you just add the "round" class. If you want buttons with a different radius, you just create your own new class with a specific border radius and add that. Different color? Create a new class with a background color and add that.

What in Foundation did you experience pain trying to override?
I'm assuming he means that you can go to the game's assets and listen to it yourself, and not that the game has a separate "official soundtrack" built-in.

If it's US cash it's safe. Non-US currency that can be shut down by the US without major penalty to the US is not safe. Even a small proportion of illicit transactions will suffice for pretext. Bitcoin's best bet is to become widely used as quickly as possible. At this point it could be shut down (indirectly) with the vast majority of the public believing that was needed to stop the bad guys.
You've just reminded me of the time I spent parsing through university course books -- what a nightmare; I have to assume these days they've improved on the process of 'look up course #, turn to the back of a separate book, dig through an array of numbers and hope for the best..'

Somehow through it all I ended up in three calculus courses simultaneously and decided university wasn't for me.
I've long been moved by the analogy that a human on foot has a terrible speed-to-energy ratio, but that a human on a bicycle has the best in all of nature. We've barely begun to scratch the surface of expanding the capacity of natural human intellect.
There's informational value, sure. Historical value, aesthetic value, certainly some material value. And, sure at the end of the day, it's one small scratch on one artifact in one small part of the world. But if this kid's behavior is okay, then where do you draw the line? Can everyone etch their names in ancient sculptures and artifacts? Why not take some of it home with you? (After all, removing one stone out of thousands hardly affects the historical value of a site, no?)

You see where I'm going with this. We react so strongly to one small incident of graffiti because it's simply not sustainable. I'd like my kids (and their kids) to be able to visit sites like, say, the Acropolis in Greece and find the Parthenon (which was historically subject to a ton of looting and careless damage) as well-preserved as possible.

One could always make the case that it's not worth preserving these sites at all, but that's a different argument, and those of us who are interested in the historical value would certainly beg to differ.
thanks; ill keep an eye on nuunton.
Or just do it based on usernames. It would be fairly easy to generate a list of high value usernames (reporters, admins, bloggers all tend to use consistent usernames), and then concentrate on those.
This is a rather tired argument. Try to get $50,000 of cash from a bank--you won't be able to without going through some anti-laundering rigamarole. Try to transport $50,000 of cash to another country--if you get caught, you're going to be answering a lot of questions about it.

This is not a crackdown on virtual currencies--it's a crackdown on unlicensed money transmitters. If they follow the law, they can trade bitcoin without issue.

The only problem I can imagine having with this is if you don't believe in anti-money laundering legislation, which is one of the best weapons governments have against organized crime, human traffickers and terrorist groups.
I'm no fan of Obama, but simplistic political name calling doesn't seem to add much to the conversation.
Perhaps Mt. Gox should be worried. Silk Road on the other hand is clearly illegal with or without the bitcoin part.
Lost in all this arguing about whether a startup using facebook connect is a good idea or not noone is talking about the actually project you know the whole point of the post.

Ah, I see, I thought you meant all 3 as related to H.264.

> The license that Google has from the MPEG-LA doesn't seem to allow for those who accept the license to sub license.

The license is a FUD reduction tool. You can simply ignore it in the context of the open source license of the codec itself - it's not part of that license at all.

> You seem to be of the view that the pool contents are either invalid or non-essential. Until I see a detailed study of them that indicates this with claim by claim explanations I will assume that at least some may be valid. Now Google has taken the license it is highly unlikely they will challenge the pool patents (and they may be contractually obliged not to). This means there is no big player likely to fight the patents and make the status clearly open source compatible.

I'm not sure what you are talking about - patents that MPEG-LA supposedly has against VP8, or the patents that Nokia presented against it?

If the former, those contents can as well be simply non existent and their potential existence used as a tool to spread FUD. Until anything is publicly presented (like Nokia did), there is no reason to pay attention to that "pool". Note that Google didn't license any patents that are known to be affecting VP8. Nothing like that. They just licensed "something", so that MPEG-LA would stop making statements like "what a good codec you have here, a pity if something would happen to it if and when we find some patents against it". I.e. Google bribed them to stop spreading FUD. In no way does it demonstrate that MPEG-LA has any actual patents against VP8.

If the later - the list is published, and now in the process of being reviewed / refuted. Let's see how that works out.

> By the end of the day, we'd signed up for streaming via Amazon Prime (which includes Dora). And cancelled it via Netflix.

Well, if enough people do this, it will certainly give Viacom greater leverage in negotiating with Netflix.
Yes, a Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. I don't read technical books on it, but I love it for reading novels on the go. It solves my two big issues with paper books: the integrated light source, and automatically saving my place. The second one wins me over because I've had bookmarks fall out myriad times and it's kind of a pain to find the specific page I was on.
Other init systems are just as bad. It is not like the scripts and executables used in sysvinit or upstart are any more portable than the systemd executables (which are not daemons). They are usually less portable since many of them are distro specific.

If anything you should call systemd out for inventing another standard to solve the problem of there being too many standards.
When I learnt SQL, the part that took me the longest to square away was the distinction between WHERE and HAVING. It was thoroughly confusing at the time.

Once you grasp that conceptually, SQL generally executes left-to-right, it's easier.
This is the primary reason I plan on buying a suit (not a super nice one; I plan on spending a few hundred bucks, maybe $400 total, including tailoring, which means I'm well into 'cheap suit' territory, but meh, amateurs, which is to say, almost everyone I will encounter? will not be able to tell the difference. I know I can't. I /can/ tell the difference between a suit that fits and a suit that doesn't fit, however; thus the tailoring.)

But yeah, I feel /weird/ dressed formally, and I see that as the primary problem I am doing this to overcome. I will probably keep my standard dress informal[1] after I get used to the suit, but being able to switch contexts is a good thing, and will likely be pretty interesting.

I mean, the point here is mostly to get over me feeling weird about formal dress, and I think for me, it's mostly the suit that feels weird. Also, I think leather soles are hazardous, and I have no actual respect for people who judge other people on shoe quality.

[1]current uniform is black cargo pants (moderate expense, "tactical 5.11" brand; reasonable expense and quality, lots of pockets. very convenient for datacenter work; one pocket is for garbage, the rest for tools. Kinda shapeless and baggy, though.) and a black 'prgmr.com' logo T shirt, with very old "Cove Matterhorn" brand boots that have seen years and years of abuse, and several motorcycle accidents. I also have a thin, unkempt 'homeless man' beard and generally only cut my hair when it starts presenting a hazard by blocking my vision.
This does not make much sense. How do you regulate media talking about you? This essentially means that you want to regulate everyone's freedom of speech.

"Online news sites that report regularly on issues relating to Singapore and have significant reach among readers here will require an individual license" This is so vague. If everyone on Facebook and Twitter is talking about Singapore (which are not news sites), would FB and Twitter require a license?

It says that it does not apply to blogs. So everything here is ok? Again, blogs/news site/video sites are so vague. News is essentially a content type, not a platform type. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/blogs/directory.html

I think this is unrealistic and is not going work in the long run.

He's just making a joke about the naming of the Xbox consoles. What would you call the original Xbox (that came out in 2001)? Some might have called it the Xbox 1. But now Microsoft decided to call the new console the "Xbox One." So, what's the proper name of the Xbox that came out in 2001?
Exactly!

But to clarify:

In 2001, Microsoft released a game console known as the "Xbox".

In 2005, Microsoft released a follow-up game console known as the "Xbox 360". To differentiate the original "Xbox" from the "Xbox 360", it was common for console gamers to call the first "Xbox" the "Xbox 1". As in, "Remember playing Halo LAN on the Xbox 1? Good times!". "Xbox" alone generally meant you were talking about the current "Xbox", the "Xbox 360". Adding the "1" made things clear that you were talking about the original.

In 2013, Microsoft revealed (but hasn't yet released) another follow-up game console known as the "Xbox One".
Ouch. Well I'll let my foolish, unresearched commentary stand as a monument to my failure :(. Thanks for the correction though!!
Easy setup and realtime pair programming are great. Auto-updates are good, but only if I like the updates :) Forced updates could be annoying and potentially catastrophic if handled wrongly, breaking users' workflow.

A pre-setup environment can be nice if it offers the amount of control that is necessary to accomplish the developer's goals.

My totally unqualified opinion on your venture is that you can be successful if you pursue partnerships with places like Heroku et. al. as well as offering it as a stand-alone service. Good luck!
Sonic: Lost World looks interesting but a lot of previous Sonic games have looked interesting without actually being very fun.

Honestly, I think part of the problem with the Sonic franchise since it went 3D is that there's been too much innovation. Every game has to have some "revolutionary" new feature without the basic gameplay being polished - three characters at once in Heroes, cars and guns in Shadow the Hedgehog, the mach speed zones, vehicles, and telekinesis in Sonic 2006, the swordplay in Black Knight, the list goes on. I've always thought they would've been much better off going back to the style of the Sonic levels from the Adventure series, perfecting that, and then building on it with new features.

That's more the approach Nintendo took. Super Mario 64 laid the solid groundwork for all the 3D Mario games since and Sunshine and the Galaxy games were able to play with the formula a bit.

Are you sure about this? It was my understanding that MtGox meets the legal requirements of its jurisdiction (Japan), and I know they require identity verification depending on how much money you're moving around(1).

What I would like to know definitively is whether MtGox is openly flaunting the rules, or is just doing their best to operate in a legally untested area.

Only joking. :) The joke being something along the lines of "look - I can peer review papers too - that wasn't so hard".

Buy the way, I'd love to see this research taken one step further, in a humoristic direction: a full statistical analysis comparing the predictive power of academic affiliation in determining acceptance for publication, to that of the contents of the paper itself. :P
While this is true, I find it to only be true under the guise of tortured logic (emails left on my server are hardly the same as abandoned mail).

That being said, I wasn't trying to draw a direct comparison, and I realize that an employment contract has nothing to do with the constitution. My point was that someone lost their job while holding themselves to the standards of an employment contract which one would assume would be more lenient than our constitution (and in my reading it is but that's a topic for another day).

In short, I agree with your point but I think it's tangential to mine.
Thats great, those are two of the reasons I was looking to get Simple Touch GlowLight; plus it is much lighter than carrier around some books. Unfortunately I am planning to read some technical books as well so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on how it works on that area.
I had the same question - there was no mention at all of pricing, current or future, on the website. This was very disconcerting. I need an idea of pricing because that says a lot about the service - such as whether I'm in their target demographic now, or whether the app I have in the back of my mind would be a good fit later, etc.

As it is now, I don't even have enough information to decide whether it's worth bookmarking or not.

It is worth contemplating that 'quality' doesn't exist without a 'subject' and an 'object'. There is no such thing as universal quality. In other words, what you might class as poor quality might be good quality to someone else (some other 'subject').

So, given I don't think you can actually say that the quality is deteriorating, the question is flawed.
This headline is misleading. The article writes that "After the [Colorado marijuana legalization] law changed, 14 out of 588 were found to have eaten or otherwise ingested the drug." This implies correlation, but not causation; it definitely doesn't justify that "because" in the title.

Instapaper is notable to Marco, which is why he counts it as notable on his personal blog.
As someone developing a "customer development tool" (http://www.petriapp.com/) I'm confused why you would label this "meta"? I (for one) am not building it because I failed to do customer development in the past. I'm building it because I want to do much more of it, and there are large parts of the process that are tedious, time-consuming, and easily automated. Even more time-consuming is the process of educating and coaching others, which freelancers and consulting shops frequently end up doing.

Whenever someone can take one of these pieces of the start-up/product puzzle and simplify it with a tool or a pre-packaged or curated resource, that's a good thing. If it provides value, the rest of us can pay for it and re-invest the time we've saved doing "higher-level" (e.g. more domain-specific) work. If it doesn't provide value, we'll stop buying it.
Ambient occlusion may may technically be ray tracing, and PRMan has supported tracing rays for as long as I've been alive. Still, "raytracing renderer" usually means it traces camera rays.

I don't know if they still use the REYES rasterizer; maybe some hybrid solution like Mantra or Modo.
Those are already solved by using CSRF tokens and escaping all the things. Still no reason to bother users with additional password prompts, which come with a number of risks of their own, not least of all causing users to use weaker or shared passwords because they have to enter them all the bloody time.

This is something that is often overlooked in any analysis of global vs. local illumination. Local illumination gives you perfect control, and allows you to "paint with light", which is the cornerstone of the pixar lighting process.

We used GI at pixar when it was appropriate, even at the expense of long render times - that is to say, only when it made the final product look better. How you get to the result doesn't matter, only what it looks like on screen.

Let me give you some advice from someone who's been on the customer side of SaaS inventory systems for the past couple years.

1. Inventory systems very rarely live in isolation. If you're a medium/large business, you quickly discover the need for integration with accounting, procurement and manufacturing or production. If you're a small business you may only need accounting -- but nevertheless selling this by itself might be difficult.

2. You're using strange terminology that unfamiliar to those dealing with inventory day-to-day. What is a 'sheet'? Why is more sheets better than less when it comes to pricing? Fix your terminology or at the very least clarify what it means.

3. You're charging too little. You're competing with a bunch of companies that won't even list prices on their websites (which means it's in the 5+ digit range per month). Your dirt cheap pricing gives the impression that you're a tiny app that has little value. I'd suggest you consider pricing based on number of users, similar to Atlassian.

4. Sorry to be blunt, but your website sucks. You need more screenshots. Pricing should be on the front page. There's an overwhelming amount of text on your front page, as a customer I probably won't read all that so don't bother.

5. Stop emphasizing that you're a one-man team. That is not attractive to business customers. They want to know that there is firepower behind the product and it's not a fly-by-night operation, both to handle issues when they come up as well as grow the product down the road.

Your big advantage here is transparency. Be up front about your pricing and your features, this sets you apart from your competition by leaps and bounds. Your competition requires a phone call with a sleazy salesperson and then they price based on your revenue. You're in a good market, but it will require you to be a lot larger than you think. You're actually competing in the ERP space. That's actually a good thing though, because nobody likes working with those companies, they're horrible. Use that to your advantage and sell your customers on your advantages.

Don't mind all the negative comments. The idea and website are cool!
This seems to be a common theme so I'll post this here instead of replying to each comment with the same thing:

I probably should have named the blog post "I've lost interest in my product" instead of calling the whole thing a failure, as that may have been more accurate.

To me it is a failure, but not because I've only gotten 1000 visitors over four months, or because I've only had one paying user.

Instead, I call Rakasheets (the product) a failure because I've lost interest in what it was built for. I built it to solve inventory management for small businesses, but small business inventory does not interest me any longer (if it ever did).

I find it hard to open the project in my IDE and work on it, or even to think about it at all.

With that said, however, I haven't given up on the problem I built it to solve (inventory management). Instead I've given up on who it was built for (small businesses).

I'd like to give more details about that but for now I'd rather build a plan of action before talking about what I'm going to do.

On another note, I completely agree that four months is far too short to call anything a success or a failure. If I were still interested in the product I'd never admit it was a failure simply out of pride.

(Also, thanks for commenting. I really appreciate the advice. If I didn't reply to you it's only because HN throttles comment submission rate. I was unaware.)
