It is a great point that partnering with a friend is generally dangerous. From my point of view partnering with a friend automatically give you two problems; you have to maintain a friendship while developing a demanding business relationship. The cost of loosing the friendship will make it harder to make demands and walk away if necessary, even if that is objectively the better path.

I would also caution against partnering with people that think their major contribution is the ideas, connections and/or management. If you are a founder, you execute and drive the company through execution. For a tech startup that means you either drive customer traction or make the software.
Another good reason to use ng-bind is that you have your UI ready to localization and could save a lot of work later on. We use a combination of ng-bind and ng-cloak, where the first page view is fairly light so the loading time is insignificant. It's also an easy matter to write your own Loading directive which could pop up a loading notification modal for example, though I personally tend to hate those - I'd rather have a light page view that shows me something to start looking at and have the main data lazy-load in the background.
The article is about versions before 2.2. So, 2.2 and it's 2.5% are "supported".
That's what I am doing, actually. As a beginner, I'm producing about 15% of my food now, eggs and vegetables, while also running a software business, and hanging about on HN. I live in a small city on about 1/4 acre. I expect to improve my yield quite a bit — three or four times in the next few seasons.

I buy almost exclusively organic, local produce and meat. It's amazing how the savings begin to add up when you cook your own meals and buy in bulk when possible.

Sure, not everyone will want to do all this, but I think it goes to show how many assumptions about the current food economy/infrastructure are not true and how much could change thinking creatively, and prioritizing health, the environment, self-determination, etc. over convenience of industrialized and junk/fast foods.

Someone with mechanized equipment and a few acres could produce much more organic produce than I do in the same amount of time, and meat, cheese, and eggs. Enough to supply dozens or more families with food. And because internet access is available, they are not disconnected from the world and could even run a software business like I do (or be an artist, or accountant, or mechanic, or virtual assistant, chef, or any number of jobs).

There are dozens more creative ways to reduce or eliminate our dependence on industrialized food. Technology should promote life, not seek to replace it.

If you read all that, then thanks.
Your link is about law in Portugual, not Brazil, note the currency mentioned is Euro, not Reais.

But I got curious enough, to see if there is anything analogous in Brazil, and indeed there is, by another name "renuncia".

The law (I will skip the non-interesting part) about "renuncia":

Art. 1.807. O interessado em que o herdeiro declare se aceita, ou não, a herança, poderá, vinte dias após aberta a sucessão, requerer ao juiz prazo razoável, não maior de trinta dias, para, nele, se pronunciar o herdeiro, sob pena de se haver a herança por aceita.

Art. 1.812. São irrevogáveis os atos de aceitação ou de renúncia da herança.

Art. 1.813. Quando o herdeiro prejudicar os seus credores, renunciando à herança, poderão eles, com autorização do juiz, aceitá-la em nome do renunciante.

§ 1o A habilitação dos credores se fará no prazo de trinta dias seguintes ao conhecimento do fato.

§ 2o Pagas as dívidas do renunciante, prevalece a renúncia quanto ao remanescente, que será devolvido aos demais herdeiros.

Thus in short:

You have 20 days to renounce your inheritance.

If your are inheriting debts and renounce your inheritance, your creditors can sue to force you still inherit the debt and pay them, and after the debt is paid, the "good" parts of the inheritance get successfully renounced and go to someone else, thus attempting to renounce a debt only results in punishment, since you still get the debt, but DON'T get the good parts of the inheritance.
I applaud the idea on general principle, but the last paragraph of this article spells that it is probably too late already:

> The latest United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization report on the future of agriculture[0] indicates that most of the predicted growth in demand for meat from China and Brazil has already happened and many Indians are wedded to their largely vegetarian diets for cultural and culinary reasons.

While I think it would be a good idea because we should actually strive to reduce our production of greenhouse gases, the above paragraph indicates that it's unlikely to become economically viable.

[0] http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/ap106e/ap106e.pdf
> This still doesn't change the fact that phones using 2.2 are ancient and users are probably uninterested in downloading apps

That is a completely unsupported assertion.
If the information that they are acting on is closely linked to evidence of entrapment; or the sorts of grooming and radicalising tactics that the FBI has been known to use to create "domestic terrorists" from angry young men.

Then it damn well is exculpatory.
You don't have to go back that far for evidence that the "War on Drugs" is racist. The phrase itself was coined for Nixon's first term, where the southern strategy was first used.

Ask HN: How do we make more money?
Do you remember back in the day when programmer salary was at an all time high? People could be making above $80,000 a year easily coding in FORTRAN or COBOL, or if you knew anything about computers, you could get a job?

What ever happened to this? It makes sense that as time goes on, computer literacy increases, and the demand for skilled programmers decreases. This is sadly inevitable. But what we as programmers, the skill in an age where there is not much of it, need to rise again.

We need to either invent a new wave of computing that makes javascript, PHP, web-design, Java, SQL, C++, and Indians seem obsolete. I am not talking about making something easier that out performs, I am talking about something that is harder and much more difficult to learn. The functional paradigm, for example, would be a great way to do this. Just strangle all of the conventional tutorials out of a language and make it the de facto programming language. We just need to figure out how we would do something like this: a full scale deployment to make a language like this #1.

If this seems bleakly infeasible, then where else can we go where the market is about to explode? Where just for knowing something a little bit ahead of time, you can make a decent salary? What is going to be the next silicon valley?

A couple doesn't need to have the _same_ direction, they just need to have compatible ones.

For example, a programmer married to a doctor. They have two different directions, but if the only real compatibility requirement is that they live in the same city, then seems fine.
Ruby is probably not the best example as the Ruby community seems to suffer from mass ADD and live on the bleeding edge.
I agree completely, there have been many articles written on how Americans break laws all the time without knowing it (No, I'm not saying that buying/selling/doing drugs falls into this umbrella) and the government cannot possibly prosecute everyone from every crime. This allows the government to pick and choose who they prosecute. Lets imagine the following scenario which is very similar to the one above.

1. Person P smokes marijuana by themselves, doesn't sell, doesn't buy large amounts, "Personal Use"
2. 3-letter-agency ABC is pretty sure person P smokes through some text/call/email/web browsing/etc but has bigger fish to fry
3. Person P is an outspoken critic of government G (or just a supporter of something government G is not a fan of)
4. Government G runs a search on person P through their database and find that ABC is 85% sure this person smokes marijuana
5. Government G tips off local police that they might just want to stop person P's car on X date
6. Person P is now either imprisoned which will greatly hamper their efforts or scared into shutting up and keeping their head down

Now let smoking marijuana be swapped out for some other crime, something that "everybody does", like downloading a song/movie/app, or maybe it's even more minor but they decide to "Make an example of you". The example zeteo gave is very good but most people can write it off with "Well he WAS committing a crime" but if the end goal of the first stop (the "Foot in the door") was actually to censor the person then I think people would see more of an issue.
TOR browsing in Firefox is a horrible experience that's so far from usable that it shouldn't be exposed to any but the most expert of of users who understand how it actually works and what benefits it brings with its great cost -- a mostly broken browser.
yes its worse instead of one large institution that can support the loss you are robbing a million members of Joe public who probably wont be able to suffer that loss as easily.

Bonnie an Clyde became folk heroes for striking it to the man they wound not have if they had robbed lots of poor farmers.
This reminds me of the average salary tool. If you are not allowed, or it is bad form, to ask your peers' salaries you can create a list of people add a random number to your own salary give it to the first person on the list that person had their salary and gives it to the next continuing through the list. The last person give you the final number. You subtract your random number and divide by the total number of people and bingo you have the average salary of the group.

I actually did this once at a company I worked for. Both the management and the employees ended up unhappy.

Secret information is motivating the search, in the same sense as a bias against African Americans could motivate a similar search, but the actual probable cause that forms the basis for the search --- the from-first-principles reason for the search --- can't be that secret information.

I agree that not informing the accused of the application of secret information is one of the multiple problems with this program, which just to be clear I do not support.

I'm a single founder and can only say the experience is rather grinding.

I'm all up for the "If you don't help, at least don't get in the way" motto. I decided to pursue my current venture without a cofounder precisaly because I didn't find enough people that had both the skills and (understandably) the willingness to quit their nice paying jobs.

For me, it doesn't really make sense to have people aboard unless they add some real value to the two core functions of what a startup needs to do: building something and sell it. It's fine if you can't build it, but you better be damn good at selling it. Photo ops and "vision, mission and values" statements don't really justify a position on a bootstrapped startup that's trying to get a product out (this obviously varies, having well connected co-founders may make a lot of difference, some people are well worth their pay just because of their business karma).

The big problem of a solo venture, IMO, is that you find yourself doing these two roles simultaneously, which can be exhausting. It is for me, at least. I can do both rather well, but after a while I start finding it difficult to focus on designing a system for scalability, designing its database, reflecting on security, writing and testing Android code, building prospects lists and getting their contacts, getting meetings and attending them, fine-tuning your sales pitch and getting the man to write out a check. And I left out all the menial work that still has to be done.

By the end of the day, you're in agony not only because of that feature that is taking too long to build, but also for not getting enough customer meetings, because of not having enough positive answers and, mostly, because launch is (or should be) just around the corner and there's still a lot of stuff to be done and no one except you to take responsibility for it.

It's an emotional rollercoaster, so having the right partner seems like a good move.

I would expect any code marked "quick hack to solve [obscure problem], not for production!" to be pretty clear.

If someone is encountering the same problem, the code is there for them to use. If they happen to use it in production, that's hardly my fault.
Trello introduces Webhooks
Mostly carnivorous guy here; I have started playing around with the use of tofu and mushrooms in stead of meat and have come to the realization that it is actually a lot easier to substitute them for meat. Another, even bigger realization I have come to is that it seems that my addiction, yes, addiction, to meat and meat having to be a minimum requirement for having any interest in a dish, is that it is really a psychologically conditioned addiction. I don't think that the meat alternative market is really addressing the real problem, people's habitualized addiction to meat by industry, special interests, and marketeers manipulating a vulnerability in humans.

I am not advocating universal vegetarianism, but the fact that Americans eat insane amounts of meat is proof in and of itself that something is not right. There is a healthy level of meat intake and we far exceed it. Just think of how many meals have some form of meat in it. It's probably approaching 100% for most Americans that are not vegetarians.
What rational person would argue that it was impossible for there to be secret exculpatory evidence in intelligence intercepts? That wasn't at all my point.

One thing to remember was that when the phone was just a rumor, it was hard to imagine why it would be that great. The goofy image that Steve showed on stage of a rotary-wheel on an iPod wasn't that far from what a lot of people were imagining. But I agree, it's a different game now and they're held to a remarkably different standard.

Given how much cash they have, and the lead time it affords, I would not be shocked if Tim Cook's strategy involves letting the expectations bar get lower and lower -- it could only help them (to a point, obviously).

Or in five years we'll all look back and say it was elusive magic that's never coming back ;)
SASS: differences between mixins, extends and placeholders
Sounds logical that only very popular restaurants would require a CC. Me having to take out my credit card is probably a friction most restaurants want to avoid.
Those dependencies exist in order for "go get" to be able to download source dependencies that are stored in those kinds of repositories. You don't have to install them. "go get" would complain about if it encountered a dependency that required one of them, but you could install the dependency manually if you wanted to. It's, of course, less convenient.
Since `go get` (official way to install go libraries) just calls the proper executable to fetch source and compiles the library, that only shows what VCS its libraries use.
> Comically low on the track, going full out. Which seems to be a pretty reasonable claim.

Well, except for the part where apparently they didn't actually manage to run it dry on the track.

This said, it's fucking Top Gear. Their idea of a "serious" car review of the Renault Twingo is seeing if a car (undoubtedly not stock) can do a flip in a sewer tunnel. Their review of the Reliant Robin was only about how the car (again, modified), only flips. Somebody should have clued Tesla in.

So TechCrunch doesn't accept payments from companies for product reviews on TechCrunch? I'm genuinely surprised.

Notably, the email doesn't ask for the review to be positive.
I'd be interested in an article with the new features. I looked at Bootstrap 3, and as someone who casually uses Bootstrap 2, it looks the same to me.
If you're not good at building a founding team, how will you excel at building a company? Technology and design are great, but companies are the people that they are comprised of.

There's nothing wrong with being a solo founder because being one doesn't mean you can't build a good team. But you obviously have issues with team building, so I'd work on that first or found a company with someone who is actually good at it.
Spike’s Gotta Have Kickstarter
I like being a solo founder, only partly because I can't tolerate all the things listed in other people too. The main, unforeseen, problem is that while growth is not hard as a solo founder, you can quickly run out of time working on the businesses' present than anything for the businesses' future. Having other founders who can be diverted to things like funding, hiring, training, etc, is surely a huge boon, as being the day to day 'boss' but then suddenly adding one of those activities in is quite stressful :-)

A mat is important. But what is more important is good shoes (like oldschool solid heel) or being barefoot. As the article says, the trick is not to be standing all day, but to have that option and mix it up a bit. I stand about 40% of the day, then take my laptop to a couch or other empty desk in the office.
I don't think the two need to be mutually exclusive. Why can't high quality medicinal practices be coupled with lower costs if there's not reason for the costs to be higher? That was my question. Just accepting high costs and arguing the opposite extreme isn't going to help anyone or drive down prices.
I applaud the tenacity with which people want to be "self-secured", but this is misinformed.

It would not be hyperbolic to say that Google is one of the greatest companies in the world in terms of network security fidelity. It uses literally billions of dollars in resources, some of the greatest minds of this generation to implement them, and cutting edge technology to secure its data.

By contrast, the author has a somewhat hacked together approach here, with capital orders of orders of magnitude lower, and, frankly, less expertise than the combined skill of the GMail engineering team alone.

Google, for all the slander it received during the NSA scandal, is like a secure island oasis in a sea of vulnerabilities. You are much more secure with the large corporation that everyone loves to hate than on your own.

Let's talk strategy as well. Do you imagine you'll be safe from the NSA - or any agency - because you boycotted one of their alleged sockpuppets and decided to run your own stack? If they really cared about your data, do you think this would stop them? And, more importantly, as I detailed in the first paragraph, do you have more engineering chops than the combined weight of even a single Google team?

There is some pretty good stuff that is actually confusable with meat; Veggie Grill on the west coast has chicken sandwiches that are damn good.
Agreed but keep in mind the Perl community were black sheep for years because the language is so (admittedly) hairy and ugly oh and also not a "real" programming language because it gained adoption when scripting languages still had a stigma. And the community had its own issues; there were sites like "Matt's Script Archive" distributing horridly insecure code (read through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt's_Script_Archive). But time has a way of changing both communities and how they are seen. Like I said, old is good. Programming communities age like wine. (Which means they improve and improve -- until they peak at which point all bets are off.)

I'm in the wrong section of the industry apparently. I have been focusing my efforts on building technology when what I should have been doing is writing blog articles about user interface design. I suspect many more people will buy the $198 paper being sold here than have ever purchased software written by me. That is not to indulge in self pity but I can't help wondering if changing my name to Nielsen and sharing my observations about skeuomorphism and rescaled design would be a better investment of my time than writing code.
