I love falling. It's hitting the ground that I'm afraid of.
My biggest problem was always comparing myself not to one man, but a great number of people. Unhappy, because I wasn't as cool as one guy, smart as this other guy, didn't have expensive stuff like this third guy. Then I realised that none of them have it all, and if I compare myself to only one of them, I would never trade my life for theirs.

It's nice to see someone calling out fundraising for what it is: an enormous mind game. Imagine how hard it would be to be that confident if you weren't the hottest YC company in the batch. The RapGenius guys had everything you could ever want in terms of traction, network, and social proof, and they still had to convince themselves that they were worth it.

I've used mezzanine before but ultimately removed it from the code. If you're interested in adding a company blog to your app's domain, it just touches too many things and makes a mess. I use zinnia now http://django-blog-zinnia.com/.

I think mezzanine is a great alternative to wordpress. It makes a great blog if that's all you want. If what you need is a CMS to handle the content side of your app, you may want something a little more flexible/light weight.

Rather than "real reality versus distorted", probably a better way to think about it is to realize that everyone distorts reality differently. True, you can't lie to a compiler, but as far as I recall Jobs never suggested such a thing.

Plus, consider whether Jobs believed what was saying at any given point. Maybe the rant about browser features was said for effect for those within earshot, who knows. After Jobs came back, he talked about how the Apple community needed to let go of the idea that winning meant MS had to lose. Make your choices as to which one he meant (if any).

The racing cars thing sure was strange, though. No disagreement there. Pretty much everyone remarked on it.
Collation and Parsing data - T-SQL Step by Step Course - Lesson 22 (free video)
I don't recall arguing that radio pays less royalties than Pandora. I'd like you to show me where I said that (you can't). You've almost completely ignored what I actually said.

Your position claiming that radio pays 10% what Pandora does for each listener hearing a song is bogus, just on the fact that you can't actually show me how many people are hearing a song on my radio stations at any given time. Thus you are presenting false data.

I specifically said that the claim that radio doesn't pay out to artists is deceitful. It is.

If your issue is that publishers are ripping off artists when it comes to the cut from radio plays, then why aren't you arguing in favor of fixing that? Radio stations don't get to choose how they license popular music; they don't get to pick whether they pay publishers via BMI / ASCAP or artists directly.

Also, in fact, in the past I have indeed argued that Pandora is getting screwed compared to radio. It's obvious they are.

I'm at a loss to explain how such a well-worded article ended up with such an unrelated title. I don't think the author blamed the media once, and I honestly don't think that's what he really means.

The people are part of the "national conversation" too, so to the extent that they refuse to have a serious conversation on Twitter I don't see how you blame that on the media.

Seven Simple Steps To Convert Your Idea to Vision to Reality
No they're really not two different pieces of the pie.

Ultimately the rights owner determines everything, and that makes it a very simple equation.

If a performer wants paid, they can determine that by the contract they willingly sign with a publisher. It all comes back to who owns the music and who signs what royalty deals.

Those are good reasons for some practitioners of civil disobedience (CD) to submit to punishment, but I don't think your reasons support the thesis that submission to punishment is a necessary condition for CD to be justified. Your reasons are mere strategies for CD practitioners to maximize publicity and minimize self-deception. Submission to punishment may be a good strategy for avoiding violence, increasing publicity, and overcoming personal weakness, but that's all there is to it.

The most effect strategy depends on the circumstances. If Snowden can maximize publicity by playing cat-and-mouse with the U.S. government for weeks, maybe that's a good enough reason for him to resist being arrested by U.S. authorities. The implications of personal conscience also depends on the small print. People might agree with your general argument for the draft, but at the same time deny that the Communist takeover of Vietnam was anything close to a national emergency. After all, the eventual defeat in Vietnam did not cause the U.S. to cease to exist.

Many contemporary political philosophers seem to take Gandhi and MLK as examples, but I'll take Hobbes and Locke any day over them: as soon as the state steps over the limits of its strictly circumscribed powers, you are under absolutely no obligation to obey the parts of its law that exceed the limit. You may voluntarily choose to obey the punishment part for one reason or another, but that's just your choice and it's irrelevant to the legitimacy of your cause. (Hobbes said that death row inmates have the right to try to escape from prison, because in his theory, the state was never authorized to execute people.)
because of the server side stuff? just a personal preference? why vs Ember or Backbone + Handlebars
MLK and Gandhi did not submit to punishment as a method to convince others to join them in disobedience. (This would be rather counterproductive, wouldn't it?) They did it to draw attention to injustice from the public, the vast majority of whom would not join them in disobedience.

MLK and Gandhi did not make the moral claim that the punishment was just--they would say the opposite--they claimed that their own actions were only just because they accepted this (unjust) punishment.

EDIT (reply to grimtrigger): You would argue, then, that MLK's followers (or their followers' followers) would be justified in fleeing? I don't think so.

Go: a simple programming environment - Railsberry 2013
Why hasn’t the US government snatched Ed Snowden yet?
You are describing a relationship with the state as a contractual agreement. Then I guess you have some theory of property rights (btw, I myself don't have any such theory, I only advocate not using violence while resolving issues). That is, according to your theory, state has made something useful belonging to it and then provided it to me on condition that I play by its rules. Am I right?

Now the question to you is how do you define property rights and how exactly state legitimately acquires property? You cannot use the same argument shifted one generation back ("it was paid by previous users of the state") because it'll be circular argument. There must be some valid legitimate source of good produced by the state (who exactly, btw?) before anyone was taxed.

I believe there never was any legitimate source of state income which then can be "traded" with you for taxes. It was always violent extraction first, then questionable "service" after that. Because logically, if there were no violence in the first place, it would never be called "tax", but "payment". No one would ever talk about "giving fair share" and "contributing to society". If there was a private gathering of individuals who voluntarily raised money and made some service, they wouldn't need to make any propaganda about how good it is to pay. Because there wouldn't be any violence to justify with moral commandments.
Oh, they targeted the 'right people' alright. But this was not an operation to 'save the day' from the mean protestors. It was an intimidation campaign. The people who were targeted had committed no crime, had not planned to commit any crime, they were targeted because they were known left-wing activists. This is now cause in itself for the Met to bring you up. Your rose-tinted glasses view of the Met is naive - they are corrupt servants of the ruling class. These operations have one purpose - to shut people up, to present an image of Britain as a united nationalist utopia. We all love the Queen! Look! Nobody even protested!

I'm not really seeing how what you are saying is any different then Django, Rails, Flask, or Sinatra for me and many others. I can stand up and prototype really fast in any of those frameworks and not have a mess of php left over at the end. That's kinda what those frameworks are made for. The op couldn't do that because he didn't know what he was doing. Which is fine we all start somewhere but we shouldn't choose worse tools just because we don't want to learn how to use the better tools. Things like Django's admin interface and Rails scaffolding are huge boosts to productivity I can't imagine giving those up out of a lack of knowledge or laziness. I don't mean to say you are a bad developer or lack knowledge but you reasoning is the exactly why these frameworks were created in the first place.

No-one can tell you how you should or shouldn't feel but personally, I can empathise with the author.

I'd really struggle if I was away from my wife and son for three weeks or more. If it helps with context, I'm a big, old fashioned Irish guy who's dealt with a lot of hardship over the years and it takes a lot for me to end up near the point of tears but I could see this particular circumstance bringing me very close.
This comment comes from a lack of start-up experience. That being said, I've always been hesitant to work at a start up because of the potential long hours. I'm not afraid of working hard or intimidated...I just want time with my family and friends. I don't like the idea that if I sacrifice everything now, I'll rise up the career ladder and be at a wonderful spot. Well yeah, maybe that's true...but I probably won't be in my 20s, and maybe my 30s anymore, so I wont be able to run (literally) around as easily, or stay up as late having drinks with friends (those friends may then be married and not want to have late nights anymore).

As I mentioned, I have not worked at a start up, I'm relying on what I've heard through friends. Family and friends for me always come first.

Heading to LA for next week, any open doors?
Hey I'm flying out to LA tomorrow and I'll be there all next week visiting with my sister. She won't be able to take off work for the whole week I'm there so I'll have some time to myself to do whatever. I've seen these threads pop up now and again on HN and figured I'd take a shot at it.

My friend and I have been working on something here in Michigan for nearly a year now that we anticipate releasing in another couple months. We have a lot to teach ourselves coming up and I was hoping an established startup would open their doors for me to check out the culture and maybe learn a thing or two. So if this is something you want to make happen I can be reached at justen@vgtourney.com

Thanks!

Building what was presumably quite a large system inevitably turned into a sprawling mess that was hard to maintain and develop any further.

I'm not trying to be difficult, but for which platform isn't that just as true? I have seen disastrous spawling messes in Java, .NET, PHP, RoR, JavaScript, C++, and on and on. Platforms have a minimal ability to control self-damage, and many of the worst disasters of achieve-nothing projects are built in Java, with all of the best intentions and best practices in the world.

Artists get paid based on their contract with publishers for radio plays. Some musicians get paid well by publishers for radio play, others get completely screwed. It depends on what deal they sign.

The fact is, and this is a fact: artists get royalty cuts from publishers based on radio play. The details of it varies from one contract to the next (eg what Madonna makes versus Joe Nobody).

Also, sometimes artists are the songwriters, that's not uncommon at all in fact. Sometimes artists have very lucrative rights ownership over their own music. That all depends on the choices they make along the way.

Radio doesn't pay artists directly (would have been wildly impractical until recently), but that's also not by choice. Radio stations don't get to choose how they license the music, that's dictated by the rights holders of the music (the publishers and companies like Sony ATV hold most of the power).
If U.S. Mass Media Were State-Controlled, Would They Look Any Different?
Sometimes it's cheaper for investors to pump money into a new company than try to buy into one that has already gained traction. For $25mil they might take 80% of the company. If they gave Dwolla 25million, they might get 10%. If investors believe the technology will be in demand in the near future, gambling $25 million for a slice of that pie is a no brainer.

To reply to your tweet about this.....

"UK government puts editor in jail for one of employees spying on a few dozen people. What punishment do they get for spying on a billion?"

The Government are working within the law... the press was not. Also all to combined government computing power in the UK couldn't analyse the amount of data the government would have to work through if it "spied" and analysed everything that went across any network. Classic case of "big data" analysis - parse all the data in motion, pull off the things of interest, discard the rest.

Whether or not you need a framework like AngularJS depends on your website. If it's just a normal website there's no reason to use a framework. But if it's more like an app, say a calendar where you can add/edit/delete items without reloading the page, then AngularJS and similar frameworks come in handy.

> Wait, are there actually people in the US who still assume that there someone has to get a warrant to investigate them under the auspices of terrorism or National Security?

What's amusing is how many people assume that the police ever needed a warrant to "investigate them." The police need a warrant to search your person or your property. The police don't need anything to investigate you, and need nothing more than a court order to subpoena documents from people who might have information about you. This has always been the way our system worked.

Depending on what exactly PRISM does, it may very well not require a warrant, any more than the police require a warrant to get your bank records or other kinds of information about you held by third parties.

It's possible some of the flower growers will switch to other crops. My understanding is the reason flower export was included in this agreement in the first place is that the U.S. hoped to increase the market size of alternative export cash crops, so coca growers would have something to switch to.

Which makes the move even less sensible from the U.S. side, because the U.S. program is not only some kind of selfless charity, but an attempt at reducing drug trafficking. Placing tariff barriers on legal exports like flowers and fruits just shifts the curve of how economically attractive illegal exports like coca look in comparison.
