I was in the same boat for a while, I really enjoyed everything and couldn't get enough and was immensely satisfied. I was feeling so great about it initially so when things started to go south, I thought I was in a rough patch and would make it out back to those initial feelings, or that they were just issues with my education/specific situations I was in, and so on.

Even if you are enjoying the hell out of it I would encourage you to still try other things - the opportunity cost of taking a few unexpected things is negligible and you could gain a lot of value out of that rather than grabbing a few more (somewhat redundant after a point) CS electives.
I hope this will finally make farad (or even kilofarad) capacitors cheap and available. There is no better engine for innovation than arms race.
Well, while you are right for the way games and GPUs currently work, there is more than one 3d rendering algorithm- Zbuffer is not the end all be all. The question is what can be rendered efficiently with the hardware we have. At some point we could collectively decide that having a rock solid framerate is more important than more detail, decide to use a scanline progressive renderer, and there you go. It is possible, but would we do it?

But on the other hand I was confused- I forgot that zbuffer was the algorithm still in use in most game rendering engines. and you cleared that up. thanks.
Can I ask what the JavaScript component is/does?
Thanks cjg!

do you think there might be a class of property owners who aren't that interested in renting (a room, cottage, etc) to a random person, but might be interested in helping a start-up?

Def like the idea of micro-equity crowdfunding. Surely with the jobs act people will be setting up these sorts of outfits (I think some already exist).
It's not that. Just keep resubmitting the story, at the end of the url add a "#" so it counts as a brand new submittion.

It's all about timing. You can write a rockstar post and have it ignored one day, then resubmit it 4 times and finally get on the front page with 14,000 unique visitors in 24 hours.

Just keep submitting your story.
No, my reality is factual and your link supports what I said, it shows Bush ballooning the deficit and Obama reducing it. You'll find the same thing with the previous Bush and Regan ballooning the deficit while Clinton reduced it.
You might want to check out the Facebook Open Compute Project (http://www.opencompute.org/). The goal is to develop Open Hardware that the Open Source Software Community can then leverage. You can read more about the Networking Aspect at http://www.opencompute.org/projects/networking/

As an Engineer, I find the project completely fascinating. I believe that this project will (or already has) enhance Infrastructure/Datacenter Design and pave the way for the next generation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) Solutions. In some ways, the Open Compute Project is sort of flying under the radar. When you say Facebook to someone, they probably think of the Product. But if you take a look at what they're doing with this Project, and how it can impact underlying infrastructure, this is amazing. There are other things they're working on (not directly networking related) that are also amazing. Another project I find fascinating is the Prism Project (no, not the NSA one, the Facebook one). Right in line with Google's Spanner. Pretty cool stuff!
I think on the commercial side this was pretty common. Might not work so well in SF now, but say, Detroit, etc.

And also - the residential aspect of this. Letting you find an apartment for 3-12 months while you build. We would certainly rent out a room in our house for equity to the right person -- would be in house inspiration and we wouldn't otherwise have a guest renter.
A review of Ghost and how to install it on your windows localhost
I think analogies that are supposed to make things easier to understand end up making things more confusing when you never get the straight answer. Even if I don't really know quantum mechanics, I can relate to the fact that the proton is really made of mathematical models plus whatever it looks like in a collider -- that's all we have to work with, and it defies any simple description. I can understand that.

Beautiful site! We'd love to talk to you about it. And our thoughts exactly re: the convertible debt piece.
I think where this can work is in peacekeeping missions/New World Order kinds of missions. Going into Somalia, Syria, etc. to stop internal bloodshed without multinational armies having to go in and losing soldiers.
Well I'd say inflammation is rather a symptom of problems, but yeah, it sucks and should be avoided.

But can't blame all on sugar, since some processed foods and lean meats (!) promote that cycle as well. So the best way to avoid it is by not overeating.

I agree with you though, that since it's difficult not to overeat when abusing simple sugars, most folks will do better without them.
No reason we can't let anyone use the platform. And since our #1 goal is just to help people out, we don't need massive adoption as long as the right people know about it and use it. Bonus points if we can cover operational costs, but we have other projects we are building as well. We could take a % of the equity as well, perhaps or have a listing fee.
Thanks for the marching orders ;)
Yes, I think there might be some sort of "reputation" indicators, but it will prob need to be convertible debt.
Absurd in that this Tech Crunch article reads like something out of Elite Daily. Feelgood, relatable, information sushi which isn't even that fresh.

To people who are actually in that process, this seems like regurgitating the obvious. Imagine if there was an article in the Scientific American that consisted of a list of 100 items on "How to do Science", among which are "Keep pen and paper ready, you might have to write stuff down" or "The process can take several years, depending on what kind of science you do" or even "Don't give up if science seems hard to you". That'd be really, really absurd. Technically every fact is right, but really, really absurd.

If the article is to be trusted on the general timeline (yay, I'm almost hitting year 5...so where's my cash?), at any point after year 3, it'll be absolutely useless. After 5, you'll be wary of those who promise you pies in the sky, through reinvention, or reincarnation, or rekindling of your chi.
1. some will (blindly) trust your scaling system out of trust
2. some will want to know how you arrive at a value in your scaling system (the whole process, which might kill their mood)

I reckon you will have to go through type 2 people before acquiring type 1 people. I just came across materials that explain the Islamic Banking system; where the risk of financing an asset is shared by the bank and the purchaser of the asset. How about bringing a micro-financing institution in the middle (perhaps one that follows this Islamic Banking system) who will pay the asset owner while betting on the startup; all the while sharing the risk with both the parties (asset owner and startup)?

As I mentioned in another reply, this could work very well in peacekeeping missions. I can buy into UN sanctioned missions, for example. Send in a robot army to stop the internal fighting --this would make (a United) nations less reluctant to go in and stop civil wars and genocide.
The remix itself is what is new. That, and the work of refining it into something usable.
Thanks for the helpful tips!
Sleep deprivation, mostly.
I may; hiring is tough. You only have a few minutes to gauge whether you'll work well with that person or not and bad signals are bad signals. I can't green light all candidates just in case.

It all depends on the tone and the body language and if they're able to continue with guidance.
Ntf -- Acceptance testing for web services in Node.js
Agreed. I haven't studied in nearly the magnitude of depth as you have but as a Cognitive Science major, I've always been fascinated in his story.
As a company, my concern would be that having more owners is... pretty expensive. If I'm going to give someone equity in my company, I need enough equity to make it worth the complexity. Not only that, but there is a lot of trust involved, too. To the best of my knowledge, once you give someone equity, they have power over your company. They can fuck you up.

Whenever anyone offers to buy some equity, I consider how much time will it take me to manage the transaction, (and then how much time will it take to manage the other owner ongoing.) - then, "how many hours, working as a consultant, would it take me to earn that amount of money free and clear."

It's amazing how often I'd spend fewer hours consulting to earn, free and clear, the amount of money that a smallish 'angel' type wanted to invest. And then I wouldn't have another owner, long-term, to manage.

Of course, right now, the company is mostly me, with employees and family having a small amount. there's a very high cost to getting your first outside investor, so someone who already has outside investors would have a lower additional per-investor cost than I do, so I guess it could work for others.
It resonates for me. I started university in computer science. I even got relatively good grades for that first year, but I decided I had to change, and ended up doing economics and philosophy (both of which have their own problems worthy of another thread).

Now I should state that swapping out of CS does not mean I no longer work with computers/programming. On the contrary, now I can use it to whip up solutions in every other field that most of those practitioners can't, and if there's one thing working with economists/mathematicians/statisticians/scientists teaches you, its that they can't program something efficiently to save themselves. In my darker moments I wonder whether all the supercomputer hardware at CERN/Universities/Government/Corporates is just bad algorithms/code that runs 5000 times slower on hardware 500 times faster...anyway...

I got out of CS at uni because it was very clear that the university was there for an industry. I loved the systems/art of programming, so I imagine it was a bit like going along and enrolling in a painting course with hopes of doing the Sistine chapel, only to find that most of "painting" was actually about how to cover the side of a skyscraper or a house. Same words, even very similar mediums...different realities. Not why I started working with computers.

Two other aspects come to mind. The first: the hyper-capitalism/money-making/app-writing/insecure ego/self-help-you-can-too!/superficial/start-up culture. I realise that hacker news is part of y-combinator, which is also part of american culture (yes, i went there), so you're going to get a lot of suck up children who really just want to be rich/popular/important, but my god I can't think of a more brain-dead boring topic filled with so many repugnant people. Is there anywhere that's like hacker news with the whole start-up/get rich quick element removed? Cause that would be lovely :P

And the second is that anyone who thinks that university or work is going to magically lead to or remove you from some sort of otherwise compelling or fulfilling life is smoking some powerful crack. Work is work, and its going to pretty much suck, and a lot of the labour-as-meaning-of-life-protestant-work-ethic-consume-be-rich-go-into-debt is basically social indoctrination to provide a nice supplicant workforce.

Life's big and complicated. Stress over the fact that you've got a lot of control over what you want from life, which means you can do a lot of things that other people say you shouldn't. But don't stress over notions that studying X at university/working at company X is going to lead you to ruin or fill you with regrets. Its really not that important in the grand scheme of things...

It's not an either or proposition.
I think you'll find that the universe of supply where the landlord wants to rent a space for equity AND the startup wants to rent that particular space AND both agree on an amount of equity is very, very small. So, your marketplace is going to have a very difficult time.
This was what I really wish I had done. I tallied up all of the electives I didn't need/benefit from on top of the B.S.: it came up to around 12 courses, enough time to fit another major and more. A B.A. would have cut into that even further, but I was worried about the perceived harm it would have on me in the job market, even though now I realize that was such a false fear.
Cookies and javascript, that is.
I had that thing before (several months ago, also during DDoS), I received an email where they told me I have DDoS attack and if it continues, they will have to block my server.
In this case however, I didn't get any warning email, just the one where they are telling me my dedicated is disconnected from network ...
GitHubber here. There's some great questions in this thread already. I'm AFK this weekend, but if you've got more questions about our structure, or how we use GitHub.com to work like this, ask away and I'll try to answer them in a blog post next week.
You might have missed the point that wood is not the only way to get 'warmth' e.g., you could use gas that is less harmful. It discards most of your comment. Though your last paragraph suggests that you might have some difficulty accepting that if you are not considering it a trivial investment.

(I've tried to make the comment to sound less snarky without sacrificing accuracy).

Personal data point: Maybe I'm too gullible but I love to find out something new that changes my mind (not too often), especially non-trivial stuff e.g., about weight/fitness as it relates to health. Not all people resist change all of the time.
>> In the less cinematically attractive “anterograde amnesia”

Disagree. I find Memento to be the most successful film related to memory loss. Maybe I'm just biased because it's in my top 5 but its 2 Oscar nominations and #34 ranking on IMDB don't hurt. HIGHLY recommend this film to anyone fascinated by this story.

EDIT: finished the piece, author [briefly] references Memento

I reaally hope they don't romanticize the relationship between Corkin and HM. It's fascinating as is.
This is great: "It's amazing how often I'd spend fewer hours consulting to earn, free and clear, the amount of money that a smallish 'angel' type wanted to invest."
Thanks!
How do you stop people downloading Chrome? Break Google search.
They shouldn't kill it.
For some reason I am thinking this could unlock assets that aren't currently being used because the owner isn't as motivated by monthly rent. But might be more motivated by a more altruistic / help / mentor mentality of spurring economic growth in their home town. But you very well could be right. We'd like to test and see how small that universe is.
"Reputation" indicators depends on trust by the asset owners. And when it comes to money handling, building a reputation takes a long long time. I'm just saying. I mean, think of it in this way, if I am your first deal, why would I want to believe in your reputation indicators? I don't even know your system. I'd recommend providing the asset owners with estimated revenues based on the average revenue of the sector in which the startup operates. A counsel by the VCs about why they funded the startup could also help a lot.
I think most landlords would think the only startups worth such a risk would be ones that raised enough money to be able to pay rent.
Not too surprised by this. #Music is a really hard business to crack. Only a few have been able to do it successfully.
Facebook New Blue Like Button Testing Going On
This is all rippingly hilarious. Especially the last point about the mom. Then I read the Narcissus comment. And I lost it laughing. Yet the really funny part is that I don't think he sees himself as a Narcissus at all. He's pointing out some stats--out loud.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has the courage to explain their downvote. Was it the copyright comment? I know how the teens and 20-somethings here love to hate on copyright so that's my guess. Or was it the calling the guy out for even asking the question? Hell, I don't care which I'd just like to hear from someone what it was. It won't likely change my thoughts but it seems childish to vote down something just b/c you disagree. I'm assuming that's what has happened here and I'm curious to see if anyone has the courage to say, "I voted it down and here's why."
Responsible Supplementation
Github is a very special case because they have a relatively simple product and very tech savy audience.
I currently work on a very large b2b web platform/application where customers are typically 40+ and still using Internet Explorer. Its also so massively complex that you just cant do it without extensive planning and talking about every last detail of the implementation with all people involved. I wanted to avoid it, but not talking things through in detail usually results in misunderstandings and more work down the line.

Its great that github can do it like this and i envy them for it, but its not a one-size-fits-all solution to project management
When you have a bunch of idealistic yelling "come here, its perfect," you can't help but feel irked by it. But I think you are right, people should learn on their own; wisdom can't easily be transferred.
What we are enabling with software has far outstripped our will and/or ability to secure it.

No doubt that, if they are 9-10 behind on paying invoices, there's cause to worry. The question is why you are still doing work for them? That makes little sense. I understand having older clients around for years but the combination of slow/late paying and hustling you for lower rates would drive most of us off.

Good luck.

That was my first reaction too -- I assumed it was getting killed in development. I had no clue it had actually launched, and I'm also a Twitter user, and a musician/music fan to boot.

I suspect the lack of awareness might have as much to do with the lack of user engagement more than anything else.

We use both, but when I can get away with using Hopper, I try to, because the UI is nicer, the program feels faster, and the Python extension interface is built right in.

Disassemblers are a good target for open source development. They're commercially valuable only for a very small subset of users, and the market leader is terribly mispriced relative to the value it provides, which drags the whole commercial market for them down.
From my own recent experience, there is definitely demand from the side of founders for an AirBnB style deal specifically aimed at a place to live-and-work, especially for start-ups who need to relocate.

Take a look at listings like these:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1337007

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/133974

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/264052

AirBnB doesn't accommodate them effectively because this is not their target market - AirBnB is mostly about holidays and residential space. Similarly, 42Floors doesn't do this at all because they are about Co-working and Commercial space.

I would suggest, forget the equity part of this completely. Start-ups are already bad customers without having to wait to recognise any revenue, and also have to go through regulatory implications. Let me rent a place with a sleeping area, a bathroom, a kitchen area and an office area for my whole team for a reasonable price.

It cost me a $4,000 deposit, $2,500/mo in rent and about $1,500 in IKEA/WalMart, and $3000 in temporary AirBnB accommodation to get my team situated in the bay area. Give me a better deal than that, especially one that saves me time.

Ship me groceries weekly, get me a rental car as part of this deal, and have it all ready as soon as I arrive and I wouldn't use any other service ever.

Additional features I would want:

- Connect me to the local hacker community
- Tell me where I can get exercise and where I should shop
I would advise strongly against this. If you need an office or a desk, then you probably have some traction or revenue to sustain this without giving up equity. There is one thing VCs and Angel Investors hate is a messy cap table.
Securing it internally vs. externally are different goals.
My argument is that challenging yourself is healthy, and that applies to both physical and mental activities. I suspect the difference may lie in what we consider "good health".

Being challenging also doesn't imply an activity is unenjoyable or unrewarding.

> But personally I would not choose to do things that were clearly suboptimal for my body solely because it would be more challenging.
