Definitely not a joke :)

But also not something you need to buy. We're working very hard to make sure everybody understands that Trello is free and will always be free.

With that, we have to make money to support the development and servers. Our ultimate goal is that the 1% of people who get the most value out of Trello will pay us, and that will collectively bring in enough money to pay for the whole operation.

The people getting the most value out of Trello are organizations, and super-fans.

The organizations pay us by buying Trello Business Class (https://trello.com/business-class), which gets them advanced administrative features that organizations like to have.

The super-fans are people who really just want a way of showing their love for Trello and supporting the company, and that's who Trello Gold is for. They show us some love by either (a) paying us or (b) referring friends to Trello, and in exchange we give them some cute stickers and board backgrounds and a little crown thing on your avatar so they can show all their friends how cool they are.

We actually thought of calling it "Trello Fan Club."

Either way, the long term goal remains to keep Trello 100% free, but still have a way where the 1% of people who get the most value out of it can pay us. For those 1% it's an easy sell. There are people running their businesses on Trello and they've told us that if we sold a brown paper bag called Trello Brown Paper Bag they would buy it, just to support the software they love and make sure it has a future.
So their conclusion is they need a new logo?

Using free software has its downsides as well. Like, bugs all over the place that require you to dig into the source code even just to understand what went wrong. Also, glacier-slow updates, since everyone has a day job.

It's virtually impossible to correlate decrease in "play time" and increase in suicide rates apart from his anecdotal evidence.

Just because kids don't play the same way you did when you grew up doesn't necessarily mean they're doing it wrong.

Tomorrow there will be a study suggesting video games are a better intellectual stimuli for growing up and yield lower rates of accidental death in children.
For the use case of boolean mesh ops the majority of the work is polygon splitting and clipping, something BSP trees excel at.
That is a pretty steep rate, but I figure you'd treat their storage like an "INBOX" and grab images through the API and put it into your own persistent storage. So, the 5GB free component should probably cover a good number of use-cases.
Alright so there goes the "30% faster than other browsers". Unless you don't count IE10 as a browser.

I'm going to nit-pick, just because you did. The issue isn't counting IE10 as a browser, it's counting it as an "other" browser. Which arguably it is not.
Around here (SF Bay Area, California) we pay the "deposit" but none of the stores (I'm aware of) actually buy cans and bottles back. I'm not sure how much the per can price is at the recycling places you have to take them to.

I was very surprised one time on vacation in Oregon when there was a can/bottle recycling machine right at the entrance of a grocery store. I walked back to it with an empty can from the car I had and fed the can into the machine. I was a little disappointed that all it gave me was a receipt to use toward my next purchase at that store. But if it was a store I went to regularly, it would totally make sense.
I'm left handed. I've tried mirror writing and I was amazed at how easily and quickly I picked it up. The problem is that _reading_ mirrored writing is a lot harder, especially cursive writing. It's difficult to stop interpreting the shapes from left to right, it's hard to see where a letter starts and ends. You have to completely relearn whole-word reading, from the level of a 5 year old, it feels like.

One benefit of the mirror writing is that my regular writing looks better. I'm paying more attention to the shapes I make while writing (as a sort of low-priority, automatic background task).

Interesting point.

I recently started using dribbble and thought, "I wish there was more detail in how they came to that conclusion regarding design, layout, and some information architecture". There have few who actually do, but was dribbble founded with the OP main concern in mind? I have a background in research from working in a Research Lab, IT, and project management. Now I'm starting my career in UXD and UD. From my perspective it helps to start with a wireframe, documenting a sitemap, interview the clients, hell even have a case study (this one is usually over looked), call-to-actions, purpose of the created User Experience. I've met with a couple senior UXD people in the field (who are nice as well, btw) and always say mention people always are trapped in the color schemes, wow factor, and forget that main question: "Who is your user?".

Show HN:San Francisco JavaScript API
I recently developed a JavaScript library that determines what San Francisco neighborhoods and/or districts someone is in. The application is served from Google App Engine so if no one is using the application the server instances are shut down and your first couple queries might be slow. But after a couple instances are spun up it performs quite well. The example application is just an example so it's not very sophisticated or pretty to look at. For the example to work properly it must run on a device that supports the HTML5 geo location API such as an iPhone. If you get chance take a look at it and tell me what you think. I actually live in Gilbert Arizona so it's a bit hard for me to test it in the real world any input on quality of my output is appreciated. In the next couple of days I plan on documenting the API and posting on HN again. In the meantime just look at the JavaScript code, it's a very simple API to understand.

Example Application:

Personally, I would rather see 100,000 parking spots removed from the city. I have this secret fantasy that if I were a multi-multi millionaire, I'd slowly and quietly buy up all the private parking in city over time and then one day shut all of them down, turning them into city parks and urban gardens or converting them to residential and commercial spaces. Hopefully then this city would grow up (both literally and figuratively).
From the Reddit AMA:

We're in an interesting spot, because typically GSF is
licensed to OEMs, not software vendors (us). But becoming
a legitimate business entity and partnering with an OEM
are the first steps to licensing GSF. Most of the
technical hurdles have already been overcome (passing
CTS).

Tom Moss, who is on our board, is the ex-head of Business
Developments and Partnerships at Google. He basically
drafted all the agreements to license GSF, anti
fragmentation clauses, etc. He'll be very helpful as well
on this front moving forward.

So it looks like they have an answer to the Google Play problem.
Org-mode is great, but I think there's validity to his point that taking notes on a laptop during meetings (especially with external people) can come across as rude.

Running emacs on a tablet might alleviate this a bit (if you've got it flat on the table in front of you, at least people can see you're taking notes and not emailing / chatting). However, getting emacs / org-mode on my Android tablet has proven a bit challenging.
We don't know you to trust you. There are plenty of people who are not decent and 'just trust me' is rarely reassuring. And you don't need to indemnify yourself in a licence. Poul-Henning Kemp doesn't indemnify himself with his beerware.

IE had ActiveX support for ages. There are other types of addons too, they're not exactly new. e.g. http://www.iegallery.com/Addons
Yup. I'm also trying to learn AngularJS at the same time so the hits, they keep'a'coming. ( =

It would be nice in the AngularFire documentation if they were clear what was a promise (implicit binding) and what wasn't (explicit binding).

One of the things I ran into (which I hope they add to the documentation): before using implicit binding, create the object on the $scope in your controller first. Only after the empty object is on the scope should you call "angularFire(ref, $scope, 'thing');". The error that shows up if you don't do that is rather cryptic.
Your examples would probably be more effective if you chose companies that didn't die and fall off the map.

In fact, it's been suggested that Facebook's clean and simple design gave the site an edge over Myspace's garish and annoying clutter.

You can't "make it for everyone" before you figure out how to make it in the first place.
Because a number of users (IIRC, South Koreans especially) rely on the incompatibility of IE6 to view a number of their websites. (Something about certain ActiveX controls being government mandated)

Force upgrading people from these older versions will break a significant fraction of the web, at least for some users. It might even be a legal issue in South Korea.
So you're going to volunteer for the sterilization and family-size controls necessary to make an indefinitely-living population feasible on a finite planet whose resources we're already overconsuming?

Or are you just full-on into the Google-executive mindset where you use life extension to live long enough to deliberately invoke every other Singularity/transhuman/futurist douchebag trope in the damn book and go sailing off to space to find more resources for your exponentially-expanding population to consume?
I don't think we have much disagreement. For your

I can relate to most of what you're describing but wanted to point out that your business (any business) is a lot more than "core" of your business.

Yes, but I've been a B-school prof, and last month got
a lesson in business: A house in my neighborhood
in NY USA had
the shrubbery too tall, and a crew was hired to come in
with a chain saw and cut back the shrubbery. They had
a nice new truck. My guess is that they were recently
from Mexico and that the lead guy was there running all
his business. And he was doing fine without an MBA
or VC!

Basically, for millions of businesses in the US, the
non-core functions get handled plenty well enough by
just the founders without help from an MBA or VC.
I did mention Khosla's recent remark on
how much VCs help founders run their businesses.

Your point about "strategic investments" may be correct:
Sure, a standard PE idea is a roll-up. However,
I'm not sure that really VC capital is the best
for such investments, but in some cases maybe it is.

For "growth", I don't see the crucial need for VC
given that the VCs want to see a lot in traction,
at Series A and certainly for a growth round
after a Series A. It seems to me that
a founder should just let the
revenue from the assumed traction fund the growth.
Lots of businesses, pizza shops to auto body shops,
do, and an IT business should have an advantage.

Besides, some of PGs growth timing looks fishy
to me, especially get a VC round, hire people,
and show big results in 18 months. Maybe can
do that work and get the additional revenue
in the 18 months, but I'd have a tough time
believing that could get a good team built
-- advertize, interview, select,
move, house bought, kids in school,
spouse in a job, introduced in the office,
familiar with the office procedures and
tools,
train, build team -- in 18 months.
Seems to me that the growth bottleneck is
team building, not funding.
Astounding amount of cribbing, when they do explain the 30% advantage here: "On Windows 7, IE11 Release Preview is 9% faster than IE10, which is a 5% improvement from the IE11 Developer Preview, and over 30% faster than the nearest competitive browser." And that nearest competitive browser is FireFox 23, because IE10 is still an IE family browser. Yeah let's ask a third party to run simple sunspider tests.

Who doesn't, at that level?
Affording proper care is definitely a problem, but the diseases of aging are the greatest causes of death globally, not infectious diseases or other health problems [1]. Taking care of diseases like malaria is unquestionably a noble and important task, but if we're talking about the world as a whole, aging is actually the greatest burden on health right now. Cardiovascular problems in particular are a serious problem worldwide [2].

"... they are far more standards complaint than any other version ..."

"standards complaint" - Nice, I think that nails it.

Lately Microsoft complains all the time that they are fully standards compliant, but when it comes down to it, I always end up having to special case IE so it never really feels that way.
Then fund a nonprofit research agency rather than a for-profit productizing company. Lots of countries have public healthcare systems who could administer life-extension treatments universally if they're not locked down and treated as proprietary, for-profit products!
+1 to this. Make it happen twilio.
This is the first thing I started thinking when reading about the news. I have loved CM mainly because it was a way for me to dump the cruft on my device provided by the manufactures.

I had high hopes watching things like redphone emerge for the android space.

I hope that CM takes this in a direction to implement technologies that may liberate people from the fears of privacy loss.
It would be awesome to get to the point where we're worrying about the thermodynamic death of the Universe. But we're not quite there yet. Let's take the first steps first.

And yes, "immortality" is a figure of speech. Much like "the infinite space" - we don't know if it's really infinite.
In fact you can perform a birthday attack, which costs on the order of 2^16 calls with n=32. I'm surprised the researchers don't mention this: they're handwaving counter-attacks away because of the "very good digital post-processing, namely AES", but since they use a fixed key it's not actually very powerful.

However, the attack is essentially undetectable with n=128, and it can still be very useful because they force the AES key to be constant: between two reseedings of the conditioner, the output of RDRAND will be entirely deterministic and computable by the attacker. According to http://www.cryptography.com/public/pdf/Intel_TRNG_Report_201... , under heavy load there could be up to 44 64-bit outputs between consecutive reseedings, even assuming a healthy entropy source. The first 2 outputs are unpredictable, and the remaining (up to) 42 outputs can be predicted by the attacker.

Imagine a scenario where a malicious sandboxed application uses the random generator to monitor RDRAND output, while another application generates a cryptographic key. I think that according to Intel, this is safe because RDRAND is designed to be resistant to malicious processes (see the above paper). But if the n=128 attack is used, the malicious process can detect with high reliability when another process uses RDRAND, and can recover the value received by the other process (the exception is that if another process uses RDRAND just before a reseed, it can't be detected). For a 256-bit key and maximal load, that's a 90%+ chance of recovering the key. All with just a simple sandboxed binary.

And I think the broader point of the researchers is not about any particular attack, which can indeed be countered by specific countermeasures: it's that we now know that it's easy to maliciously alter any chip design to add various vulnerabilities, and it's probably going to be very difficult for any chip designer to predict what vulnerabilities this will introduce. I think RDRAND was chosen just because design details were made publicly available by Intel, not because it's the most interesting target. The paper gives another interesting example, which enables side-channel attacks in a side-channel-resistant chip.
I always return to the question of: "Is the shorter amount of time for outdoor non-directed play bad or just different for my kids (compared to my childhood)?".

This read failed to convince me of the former. That being said, it did convince me to pick up the author's book.
Didn't know about that AMA thanks.
Moxie Marlinspike is working with them on their implementation of a more secure SMS app[1]. It's based on his previous secure SMS app I believe[2].

I think the answer to that in the part where the parent mentions physics and chemistry.

Until we can provably show that resources outside of Earth are available for human consumption, and within some range of feasibility; it's not valid to use the argument that the potential availability of said resources are a solution to the magnification of natural resource depletion on Earth caused by overpopulation.
This buzzword-infused post goes on and on about how Microsoft's "reinvention of the idea of search" meant they "stepped out of the confines of the search box," so they "needed to signal a change to the world" -- with a new Bing logo that surely cost a lot more to design than most people reading this make in a year.

For a moment I wondered, WTF?

But then I realized this kind of navel-gazing goes hand-in-hand with the new strategic 'focus' triumphantly announced by Ballmer two months ago (right before he was fired): "our strategy will focus on creating a family of devices and services for individuals and businesses that empower people around the globe at home, at work and on the go, for the activities they value most"[1] -- that is, be everything for everyone.

Microsoft truly has lost its way.

He's probably quite aware of what the intended meaning is. The point is that since we're in effect always talking about 'verisimilitudes', calling this or that an "illusion" is silly, because it implies that we didn't realize our models are just models ("You mean to tell me the Standard Model isn't a 1-to-1 mapping from reality to our brains??? NOOOOO * worldview shattered * ").

For example, the spacetime explanation for gravity is also a model, and is also likely to be an "illusion." Making note of that is theoretical physics 101... or at least it should be.

They could take the path of being a mobile Red Hat (or free software Blackberry, depending on how you see it) and offer a nice corporate system and services.

Managing mobile in the corporate environment is not a very well-solved problem, and free software works well for this - Google and Apple seems to be more interested in the great consumer market, and Cyanogen could leverage this, basing their software on Android and focusing in the corporate details.

This way, they could even let Google Services pass, and keep software free, in a manner similar to Red Hat's.
The title "Starting a Company Can Turn You into a Psychopath" is complete nonsense when paired with the linked article. Correlation is not causation.

With that being said, I've seen founders become lots of things both good and bad. The experience of doing something as challenging as creating a new business is certainly the type of endeavor which will likely forever alter your view of the reality in which we reside.
