I love my hypo-allergenic lab/poodle mix. He doesn't shed, doesn't make me sneeze and can sleep in my bed. He's awesome, but I won't be buying this product.
That entirely depends on the issue and whether it's blocking a way for me to make money. Assuming it's a no-go for something I need to do, then I'll hire the smartest guy I can find and contribute the code back into the project.
Sometimes people seem to get motivated not so much by winning but by extracting vengeance on people who pissed them off.

If I had a startup, then yes. I would then take the money and go live out my days in a very tropical locale.

It's other people's startups I would not sell off. Facebook bought Beluga and we haven't had any good group messaging since they killed it. GroupMe, Facebook Messenger, all suck. Google Hangout is good, but doesn't quite do the same thing.
this! features can be funded this way as well.
I think that's part of how Mifare (NFC) was cracked; the entropy of the card's random number generator was very low. When implemented correctly it's a safe method though.
I think the key point is that while the Contacts and Calendar applications are typically pre-installed on an Android device, they are still applications and not a part of the operating system itself. Any third-party developer could create a competing application that would have equal status on a device, while supporting CalDAV and CardDAV as well.

Trying to build CalDAV and WebDAV into the Android OS wouldn't work, because they would be dependent upon those applications, which would then make them essential OS applications.
I had to learn this the hard way.
Google Glass and the Oculus Rift are very interesting for us, since it puts technology right on the spot where we need to acquire signals for brain-computer interfaces. FYI, there was a successful crowd-source campaign by InteraXon for an acceptable EEG headset [1]. This is the first headset that I can imagine being worn in public spaces.

In five years we can potentially see brain-computer interfaces for consumers. I fear using the word 'solid' though, since I isn't a replacement for traditional input like the mouse or keyboard (that is what I would call solid). The biggest challenge I see is that we have to help consumers understand what it can do. I feel this technology is a game changer, but it is difficult to pinpoint what game is being changed. Therefore, it will at least take a while to get mainstream.

Hell, install the porn as part of a setup.exe payload and put it in an obscure folder 9 levels down from C:\Windows\System32\drivers. Who would ever look there besides the friendly officers inspecting your machine?

Child porn pretty much tops the list of scumbag behavior, but the fact that the judicial, legislative and enforcement arms are such technological noobs is not helping the world be a better place.

Almost a no-brainer. It depends on how many x you think you can add to that valuation in whatever amount of time you are okay with adding it.

Why so many proprietary, web-based RSS readers? There are plenty of free readers so it's silly to get locked-in to yet another web-based RSS reader that will shut down some day.
Maybe, but it's hard to say. As somebody else said, it would depend on the valuation. Right now, we're pre-revenue, so any valuation would presumably be pretty small, so even at 5x, the overall price would be fairly small. It probably wouldn't be worth it to sell at this point, even if the opportunity existed.

Now if the company were valued at, say, $10,000,000 and they offered us $50,000,000, that would be awfully hard to say "no" to.

Edit: Voted "yes" since there is at least a hypothetical scenario where the answer would be yes.
It depends on exactly the situation but heading towards no:

Why am I building this business if I don't think it will increase above its current value?

Why does Google value it so highly? What does Google see that requires them to shut us down?
I'm not wealthy or well-connected, but I'm "coming out" about mental illness myself. I've talked about it at length on HN (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2043019), but I'm working on a blog post now that talks about this in detail, with the goal of actually opening a dialogue about mental illness in the tech industry. You can read what I have so far here: https://gist.github.com/daeken/8bc79e53311d2e32a981 It still needs a lot of work, and my mother (a mental health practitioner by trade) wrote a section with extensive resources that I haven't yet integrated, but it's coming along.

I've been getting better lately, but for a few months I was the worst I've ever been in my life; not being able to talk publicly about it for fear of discrimination and the general mental health stigma makes the loneliness... crushing. I'm hoping this will help others take the first step to helping themselves and others.
I had to say no as our startup is a platform for our customers to actually run their businesses! They have trusted us with their livelihood and if I thought that an acquirer would shut it down I definitely wouldn't sell.
This is pretty awesome, but it seems like OK Go has cornered the market on "cool web tech" demo music videos. Doesn't anybody remember their collaboration with Google?

Yes, I'm quite sure. On OS X, I can get real full screen with Chrome, and I can get it with Firefox if the website itself initiates it. But the "full screen" in the View menu removes half of the chrome and leaves the other half. Useless.

It turns out I'm not the only one complaining. It has been a known issue since at least early 2012. Apparently, some of us think full screen should mean FULL screen. Nobody at Mozilla is working on it:

At least in baseball, a lot of teams--believe or not--are not run like businesses where the main goal is to earn a profit. Instead, they are run organizations where the main goal is to win. The argument is that winning leads to more business as a fact of the universe. It's bizarre.

I mean, look at that whole MoneyBall thing: instead of trying to focus on understanding why people come to games, the Oakland A' focused on optimizing performance for less, not necessarily more profit for less. So, instead of being disruptive on the business model side, it's disruptive on the game-itself-side. This kind of sentiment is shockingly pervasive.

On the other hand, look at the Giants. The Giants--and you no doubt know about this--do this dynamic pricing where they charge ticket prices based on weather, who's playing, etc, in order to optimize the amount of people coming to games. The focus is business-side. Interestingly, maybe keeping a full stadium is why the Giants win so much.

Shoot, what if you did that but with Machine Learning for all aspects of what the teams sell…tickets to souvenirs to hotdogs. And what if you made it so teams could email fans (or through some push on an app) saying, 'hey, free tickets today!'. And then what if you brought that to smaller organizations like the minor leagues and then to the NCAA. How many NCAA teams are there, like 10000?
I've had and enjoyed both. The latter has less about the fundamentals, but adds chapters on real-time GCs, concurrent GCs, and other advanced material. (Most of whose research probably came out after the first edition.)

If you're interested in GCs, I would suggest getting the newer edition for advanced material, and deferring to freely available papers such as Wilson's "Uniprocessor Garbage Collection Techniques" for fundamentals.

To your first point, if you don't trust your dog walker then you may also want to think and worry, and therefore question your decision of buying this, about the possibility of him/her taking the whistle off from your dog and attaching it to something else to give an impression that your dog was actively walking.
No really a board game but Werewolf (a.k.a. Mafia) is great. It's fun and simple to learn. However it depends a lot on the quality of the game organizer and the athmosphere he is able to provide.

Just a question on logistics. If we assume that you aren't waiting on other air traffic, what would you estimate as the time someone parks their car at the airport to the time you're up in the air with the plane?

I'm pretty ignorant to what kind of safety checks and security proceedings a private pilot has to go through. Same thing goes for landing? Is there a lot of setup and teardown that has to be done outside of air time?
Make Patent Trolls Pay in Court
How about the possibility that the thieves have simply purchased replacement remotes from eBay (or similar), and programmed them when they had access to a compatible vehicle? Maybe the thieves work at a car wash, valet or have organized a larger network of goons (think credit card skimming).

Programming a replacement remote is a simple procedure, requiring only a few moments in the vehicle with the key present... like when parking a car. Paired with an easily accessible address (registration?), you have a crime ready to take place.

This would confirm why multiple vehicles in the same driveway were targeted. Families use the same service providers. It could also make sense of why the "device" occasionally did not work. Maybe they got the remotes / addresses mixed up, the programming did not take or their mule is selling them unprogrammed remotes.

I think this is more logical of a solution considering the facts. Any thoughts?

Forget about Bayes Theorem. I meant Bayesian Probability Theory, as described in Probability Theory: the Logic of Science by E. T. Jaynes.

My point was just that to me, noticing in a hard drive a big seemingly random chunk of bytes is very strong Bayesian evidence that the disk holds encrypted data. And if there is encrypted data, the owner of the disk is more likely than not able to access it.

> But how do you determine the frequencies E and R (or their ratio)?

Just ask people in non-adverse situations. With enough effort, that should get you a decent probability distribution over the possible frequencies of E and R.

Ok so I have to disagree. I'm a very attentive dog owner. Matter of fact I'd say I'm really good. And my memory is also pretty good. I'm going to lay out what's nice about this device.

1) You have a lifetime of data on your dog (and with further improvements to the device I'm sure you'll get heart rate as well as movement). This is awesome, and here's why. My dog blew her knee out. She got a lot less exercise and is finally recovering. But how can I SHOW myself that she's running better other than this vague feeling I get as her owner. I can't, but with this device I could.

2) I can compare Sophie to other dogs her age, and possibly with help see that she's not running as much. That could have potentially alerted me to her knee issue (which is something you can NEVER learn about too early).

3) I can watch what she's doing no matter where she goes or who's watching her. I get data on her. This also has implications about lost dogs and your dog getting out of the yard (but for most attentive owners that isn't a problem).

I think you are attempting to argue away the value of this data, and I for one completely disagree. Sure I want more data, possibly gps/heart rate monitor. But I'll support someone who is taking a step in the right direction.

I hadn't seen this. Looks interesting but kinda strange they went with the kickstarter design.

more likely they are installing a custom responder. At least, I think it might be viable with that
Also not really a board game but I really like Eleusis Express and by experience many software developers also do. The Express version is a much simpler set of rules of Eleusis: one of the player choose a rule the cards have to follow to fit in a sequence and other players have to guess it by prosing cards and havint the game master indicate wether the card fits or not. The role of game master is rolling.

It's important to insist that the game master shall not use a rule too much complex (beware "creative" SW dev!). It's almost always harder to discover than expected even with smart people.

Find one or two strong leads to commit to your round. Make sure these are experienced angel investors. Make sure they love what you do. Make sure you love working with them. Fill the rest of the round with people committing to smaller amounts. In my experience, it is hard to set a limit here. Do what feels right. If someone offers you money along the way, do take it. You can care about your valuation later and the way bigger risk of your business is running out of money. Spent 80% of your investor time with your leads. Limit the money you take from VC's in your angel rounds. Just my two cents.

We don't think that separating html and code/logic is a productive separation of concerns. They aren't separate concerns. The code that drives the view and the markup it generates are intimately tied and separating them violates the principle of high cohesion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(computer_science)#Hig...)

I think the reason that most people think this is a good separation of concerns is because they used WYSIWYG editors in the past (which are no longer used in large projects) or because they have PHP spaghetti code hangover from the 90s.

Mixing code and markup isn't evil in and of itself, it's mixin non-display concerns with display concerns which causes issues.

With React, you can use components to separate concerns with finer granularity and in ways that are more tailored to your application.
You have no idea who I am, what I do, or my economic situation.

And further, even if I were a broke college kid that wouldn't itself invalidate my actual argument. It's a fallacy to discredit a point because of the social status of the point-maker.

Good luck with turning things around.

We need more people like Fry to speak up about their experiences with bipolar disorder. It's widespread yet stigmatized because not everyone understands it or knows how to seek treatment.

I was diagnosed bipolar as a kid and spent over three years in a locked disciplinary boarding school. At first I was reluctant to take medication because of the stigma associated with it, but taking lithium changed my life.

I've been completely stable for 9 years, taking the same low dose.

It's really hard to find the right mix of medication and / or behavioral changes because every person is different. But it is possible for people with bipolar to find balance, stability and happiness. I think that speaking up about our personal experiences helps shatter the stigma while supporting families who are still considering different treatment options.
The biggest issue it faces is adoption. Your funding amount needs to be in front of people in the issue tracker they are working in. If I have to go to a separate site to browse bounties I am now using two issue trackers essentially and most people are all about a slim toolchain.

I think this is probably why gittip works so well. Set it and forget it.
Very well written, I'm glad I'm following this series.

However, I don't agree with stating a number upfront, at least not always. I'm not a designer, but in my own freelance development work I've personally never minded if a number wasn't given up front because it left more room for negotiation (for both parties).

While that's anecdotal, I feel it makes sense. If a non-technical person comes to me with a budget of $2000 and doesn't know that what they're asking could be done by any seasoned developer for $500, they're maximizing their budget up.

In general, I feel you should try to not state the first number. True, many developers and designers are more expensive than this, but many will also gladly tell you a rate (usually a combination of expected project length * hourly rate for one large fee). If you are patient, you might find it's lower than your budget, in which case you benefit by not stating a budget upfront.

This is all just from the "other side's" perspective. Negotiation functions a bit differently in freelance work than it does in a salary situation, but I feel that both parties should at least have a vague idea of whether or not they can work together and what the project is before they crunch the numbers.

Great points. For me it had been hard getting developers' attention before that (looking in places other than dribbble). Even with the budget I didn't get responses from everyone I emailed.

From a bargaining perspective I agree, I would normally wait to hear the other person's number, especially when I have the option to turn them down.

In this case though I needed to get up and running quickly, and including the budget increased the chances of hearing back.
To that person, yes.

Contacs ("People") and Calendar are part of AOSP, althrough most vendors do not ship them.

It does not matter, as neither AOSP nor vendor-specific Contacts or Calendar applications contain any protocol code. These frontends use contact and calendar specific content providers, which in turn provide plugin based API for sync adapters. Google's own sync adapter is such plugin, as well as Facebook's or even Microsoft's (for Skype contacts).

It is true, that there are no CalDAV/CardDAV sync adapters on the devices. However, because not everyone is interested in one, it is perfectly fine to install them from Play Store for those interested.
