Getting people to make decisions that directly impact them is a good way of figuring out which beliefs they actually use to predict the behavior of the world and which beliefs they only profess but in some way know are false.

Consider someone who claims "I have a dragon in my garage.". When someone asks to test that claim by looking, you say it's an invisible dragon. When they then say they'll listen to the dragon breathing, you say the dragon doesn't need to breathe. If they offer to throw a bag of flour over it and see the shape of the flour-covered dragon, you say the dragon is permeable to flour. Despite saying you have a dragon in your garage, all your predictions are based on not having a dragon in your garage. If you actually thought you had a dragon in your garage, you'd say "sure, let's see"; you should be perfectly willing to test that claim and accept the result. (Credit to http://lesswrong.com/lw/i4/belief_in_belief/ for the dragon example.)

The same lines of experimental questioning can generally distinguish between "I truly believe this and use it as a model to predict how the world works" and "I profess this but when it comes time to predict how the world works I do so using a model that actually works.".

On the other hand, if you build a system that rewards people for how strongly they profess their beliefs, and how much confirmation and support they get from others professing the same beliefs, you can give strong positive reinforcement to beliefs that do not model the world.
Do you know the thinking behind that? (Or what the time length is?)
Does this use an academic meaning of the term "language" I don't know about? It sounds like prairie dogs effectively have words, but there's no indication that they use grammar, syntax, etc., so describing their vocalizations as "language" seems misleading.

it just brings you to a public development sandbox. You'll have everything to yourself. I just wanted people to at least click on 'take a test drive'. My problem right now is getting people to even take a look at the site and also to get sign ups (but i think that first problem is almost solved!).

awesome read! If you're thinking about how to structure your teams and/or engineering efforts, this'll give you a good insight. You can complement it with the spotify's article about their approach to agile development to get more context about what Drew is talking about.
Other manufacturers had dealership agreements dating back pretty far into history. This is a really good listen:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/02/19/172402376/why-buyi...

I suspect it would be better for everyone if special dealership regulations were broken down. But, given that Tesla is a new car company, without any historical dealership agreements, why should they be bound the inefficient legal infrastructure that essentially cropped up around private contractual agreements between other car companies and dealers.
I think that "done more with their life" isn't the same as working more hours.
The narrative wasn't that they spent a really long time building a framework so anyone could build Snowfall in an hour, it was that "the NY times spent hundreds of hours building Snowfall, we did it in an hour" implying that if you spend more than one hour working on creating something like Snowfall, you've wasted your time.

Even if had been the more forgiving narrative, it still ignores the 6 months the New York times did doing interviews, compiling the photography, and writing the piece itself. The technical part was, comparatively speaking, the part that took the least amount of time on the NY Times's end. You can't replicate Snowfall in an hour, even with Scrollkit's help.
No, that was the 486SX/DX. No 386s had built-in FPUs - the 386SX was a DX with a 16-bit data bus and a 24-bit address bus.
The analogy works, because the primary thing you're paying for on the train isn't comfort, it's being transported. Second class passengers (even the bloody riff-raff in third!) arrives at exactly the same time. Also, first class passengers are let off first, at least on planes.

Ask HN: How can I market to young parents?
Hi,

I've been working on Instagrad.com for a couple of months. Instagrad is a social funding platform to accelerate college savings.

We help parents raise funds for college by encouraging friends and family to contribute directly to a child’s established 529 Savings Plan. With Instagrad, a parent can easily create a profile for his or her child, create a campaign to help raise funding (birthday, Christmas, etc.), and then easily transfer the funds to their child’s college savings account (529 account).

What is the best way to reach and market to parents of young children? I'm not looking for "get mommy bloggers to talk about you" or "create a facebook page". I'm looking for specific winning tactics.
What a sad, demoralizing editorial. Was this really a notion David Brooks needed to challenge?

I think the more pertinent reason why Bootstrap is so important is due to the fact that it elevates the look / feel bar of all websites.

There is no reason that your website should look absolutely shit. Just dropping in of the most boilerplate bootstrap files brings your site up to a new level and that is with 5 minutes of work.

Spend more than five minutes with bootstrap and you can get something spectacular. Bootstrap made creating a better looking website accessible to everyone in addition to speeding up the amount of time it takes to execute a design vision.

Because it's one of the best ways to make sure it never happens in the US. Another good way is to call it Socialist.
Dear startup CEOs
You may be sure, but I'm not.

First of all, smart companies understand that the key to profit margins is to have barriers to entry. The need to develop a dealer network is a huge barrier to entry, and car manufacturers have an interest in preserving that.

Secondly, choosing to expand vertically can be a fast route to chaos. For instance suppose that Ford decided to get into running its own dealerships. All existing Ford dealers would get nervous, many would switch brands, and others already sell multiple brands and would direct their customers away from Ford. Therefore Ford would have to be very, very careful about opening its own dealerships.

Thirdly, even if car manufacturers want to get rid of the dealership model, none want to say this where any dealers might hear. Because of fear of the same kind of chaos as before.

So for all three reasons, there is no way that Tesla is getting any support for this from other manufacturers.
RackSpace also has a longstanding stated goal to make tons of money. Oracle is a quick way to meet that goal.
My first solution was assuming you could not revert. If you want to allow revert then the client would first call /posts/X/versions, get a list of all versions and then either do

PATCH /posts/X
{ "version": "older-revision" }

or

PATCH /posts/X/versions/older-revision
{ "active": true }

Access control is completely orthogonal to this; so for your sample case you would just return a 403 for any other calls (like e.g. POSTs to /posts/X/versions)
Did Toyota or Honda or BMW, when they initially entered US markets, get special laws? Or did common laws apply to them?
The Go developers have said they deliberately didn't try and write Go in Go because they've done that with other languages, possibly Alef, I forget, and a bug can arise where the fix is obvious if it wasn't that the bug exists and would be triggered by the fix. Instead, a more awkward fix has to be figured out that doesn't trigger the bug. Of course, once the bug is fixed the original straightforward fix can be substituted but it's all unwanted hassle.
Your wife's experience sounds a lot like my own childhood in rural Scotland - where everyone did go to the same secondary school (each village had its own primary school).

Now I live in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, which has a remarkable percentage of kids in private education (~25%) and very clearly drawn boundaries around social class.
One of the reasons they can get away with it is because there is no competing product.
It would be more like if all the seats on the train had a reversible cushion with a soft side and a hard side - but you had to pay an extra twenty bucks to turn it over.

Why is this targeted at young developers? Seems like this is advice for any developer who is looking to get their start in the industry.

I would replace working for free with contributing to an open source project or working to become a maintainer. People have already pointed this out and I wanted to agree!

This. They'll treat you like shit, but you'll be making great money.

If you want to be treated well and make money, well you're going to need to be a high-tier professional. Maybe a software architect or data scientist. Both require a lot of knowledge and practice.
Irrespective of what is good or bad design, defining an action in the URL goes against the most critical REST principles. Design it whatever way you like, but if you do this, it is not RESTful and you should not refer to it as such.
The 386SX was a 16-bit data bus, the 386 was retroactively labelled 386DX to differentiate it.

The 486SX and 486DX were the math co-processor variants of the 486, and they weren't originally "deliberately" blown; they just didn't pass QC and were disabled. Later variants just removed the sections for the FPU from the die.
I don't think anyone is suggesting Tesla get special rules (except maybe Tesla). More likely is an interest in seeing existing automobile franchise and anit-trust laws reviewed and possibly changed to remain in line with consumer needs, interests, and the operation of a healthy market.
> Content types and HATEOAS are orthogonal properties, I'm not sure how you made the latter work using the former?

They aren't orthogonal. Content-types are central to HATEOAS:

From one of the key descriptions [1] of the HATEOAS constraint on REST:

A REST API should spend almost all of its descriptive effort in defining the media type(s) used for representing resources and driving application state, or in defining extended relation names and/or hypertext-enabled mark-up for existing standard media types. Any effort spent describing what methods to use on what URIs of interest should be entirely defined within the scope of the processing rules for a media type (and, in most cases, already defined by existing media types). [Failure here implies that out-of-band information is driving interaction instead of hypertext.]

1. intel likes money.

2. if you want the best (general purpose desktop/server) silicon, you have to buy intel.

3. if you don't have as much money as intel likes, it generously offers you a, um, de-featured version of their silicon at a, erm, discount.
I'm sorry, I didn't want to sound that negatively (as other comments on this level indicate I did).

The thing is that I understand why someone would glance over something twice before reading it at last. And I'm not going to shoot people who do this. But I still don't think that's a good thing to do, a good behavioral pattern.

In this example, seriously, why didn't you read the sign on the first try? Probably because, as you quoted, you were expecting the sign to be boring shit, not worth reading. But hey, you were told that it is not shit beforehand! So, to have trouble with reading it, you must have: a) not believed that the signs are legitimate content; or b) struggled and failed against your reflexive rejection of the signs as garbage.

The latter option is more probable, I think. You tried to overcome your conditioning and pattern-matching defaults, and finally you succeeded. But you could succeed earlier, had you exercised! You could try to play with optical illusions or do puzzles, or something like this. And after a while you would have no problem at all with recognising the signs in this article.

What I wanted to say in my previous posts is that this lack of ability to ignore reflexes, see and (sometimes try to) understand is a very good thing to develop for yourself, and that unfortunately people are less and less aware that this is the case (scary!), because what they come in contact with is constantly getting larger, cruder and more obvious.
Looking for CTO and developers for our startup in Berlin, Germany. Work Permit/Blue Card and Relocation Assistance Provided- no German required

Are you interested in working for an early stage startup in one of the coolest cities in the world? Perfect! After graduating from Brown University, I just finished collecting a pre-seed round for an innovative social-media startup. My startup team is looking for developers experienced in App or Website development that know their way around Ruby or PHP or iOS. If you have worked with social networks before, it’s a big plus, but not necessary, as we like to attract anybody that can adapt and take on new challenges.

Why should you apply? 3 reasons: 1.) You get to create an innovative social media product from the ground up that will scale all around the world!!! 2.) We do not just offer money, but also significant equity, so that you directly profit from the financial upside. 3.) If you have been to Berlin before, you know that it is one of the must international, buzzing cities in the world. I assure you, Berlin is tons of fun, super cheap to live in and you don’t need to know a word of German to get around.

To add to this analogy: Software companies have been doing this for years, develop a pro version and then remove features for an entry level version rather than redevelop a new entry level application.

Example: Cubase historically had 3-4 versions.

Usually a lite/beginner version that severely limited the number of tracks/FX and a few views, a middle range one that included most features, and the Pro version that was unrestricted that featured things that professionals would need (like multiroom mixing so musicians could hear seperate mixes while playing) and then the spin-off Nuendo iteration which largely reused Cubase's codebase but designed for video-post production mixing.

Of those 4 products there's only really two "different" products.
Excellent article. I've just written up REST API design patterns for our group here and it maps very closely to the guidelines you've outlined. Many other posts about REST design are lacking real world experience items like rate limiting.
We've built a first version of an API that we have in testing at the moment, and it follows a lot of the things laid out in an ebook✝ and in the linked article.

The epiphany we had was that whilst machines do access the API, the developer is always the customer and user. Everything we do should help the developer, and if we have to break rules to help them... then largely we should.

I've built a couple of very pure REST APIs in the past, but had a lot of developers pushing back and demanding something simpler. To not use media types so precisely, to be more accepting of what data is sent, to provide meta-data along with the resource (most seem to prefer an envelope), to prefer composite resources over very decoupled interfaces, etc.

This time, I haven't even tried to build a pure REST API. This time I've just mixed together the bits that developers I've spoken to liked and prefer. Adjusting as I went depending on how it was received.

http://microcosm-cc.github.io/

That's the docs for it, and we get the arguments out the way right at the beginning. All we're trying to do is build an API that helps developers get their task done. We're not done, and I know it's not pure anything... but the feedback we're getting is far more positive than any pure REST API I've ever built.

✝ If you are willing to give out a fake email address then this free eBook is a great resource and has a lot of sane information presented clearly:

Any of those dealers would love to sell Tesla cars, especially the higher-end ones that sell BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, and Lexuses. Nothing is stopping Tesla from partnering with dealers to do so. Small Chinese car manufacturers don't get special treatment. Why should Tesla get them?

I know the dealership laws are awful, but IMO we should be focusing on changing those laws instead of giving special treatment to particular companies.

Are there really people who feel like the government shouldn't enforce property rights? Aren't those just called anarchists?
Oh no, I certainly don't think there's anything wrong or impure about not implementing REST. REST is an architectural style that, by imposing some constraints, gives you certain benefits (Fielding's paper talks about this). It's not a panacea, and it's certainly not right for every case.

Just don't make an RPC API and call it RESTful ;)
You do realize that manufacturers cannot sell directly as a result of dealerships lobbying & litigating to restrict and, ultimately, abolish the practice, right?

Deadline Looms for Suspect to Decrypt Laptop, or Go Directly to Jail
As a bit of a libertarian myself, I think I have two points to add. First, IP doesn't (I think) and shouldn't ever stop you from doing whatever you want for yourself. I can infringe all the patents I want if I'm using my matter and energy to make stuff myself. When it becomes commerce, that's when the government steps in. Which brings me to my second and harder-to-explain point. I'm still thinking through this myself so healthy debate is welcomed :) Libertarians generally believe the government should exist enough to protect individual rights. They're okay with the government getting involved to stop one person from destroying another person's life or property. Although I'm all for innovation, I think there's a certain amount of lameness when people immediately steal another person's ideas just to compete directly against them. In such cases, I think a certain amount of IP is inherent and the government merely protects rights that already exist. I certainly agree with you that once patents can be sold multiple times and non-practicing entities can sue, this idea goes right out the window and I would completely agree with you. Even when I think it's just lame to take another's original idea and use it against them, I admit that lame != illegal, which is why I think it's a hard line to draw, and I'm not entirely convinced of my own opinion here - I'm just saying I think the increased transparency would be a definite improvement.
plexapp is decent, but it really could be a lot better... I use it myself.
Semi-offtopic, but is "medium" twitter's version of "posterous"?

I just noticed that to leave a comment at a medium site, a person needs to login through twitter. And the only social media support they seem to offer in my 15 second random survey of their front page is via twitter.

Ah, a bit of googling shows medium and twitter share co-founder Ev Williams. http://mashable.com/2013/04/17/medium-acquires-matter/

So is there any formal ownership between twitter and medium?
