Everyone's quoting Mt. Gox eclipsing its previous high. However, it's pretty much impossible to cash out of Mt. Gox, and so it's trading at a premium to other exchanges. To this end, Mt. Gox beating its previous isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.

Hm, I just read his review and he mentioned that he turned off all animations. That probably has a lot to do with a phone feeling faster (just did it on my One and it really does feel faster). He also mentions that the 5S still has the best touch response, which kind of implies that if the animations weren't disabled, the 5S would feel smoother.

Overall though, I feel like my HTC One with CM10.2 feels just as smooth as my previous iPhone 5 90% of the time. 10% of the time, it stutters a bit, but I'm going to chalk that up to CM10.2 being a community project.
I recommend LocalBitcoins.com. Due to fraud prevention I found the big exchanges overly complicated to join. LB allows simple same day transactions that only require a quick trip to the bank to transfer cash.
Bitcoin In 50 Years: Enabling Autonomous Public Services (Video)
I should probably look at the code, but reading the post it isn't entirely clear to me: are you updating all three (second, minute, hour) keys on every insert? And are you just using the "last value" as the value for the key (so the value for minute becomes the last value of second that falls in that interval?

I need to read up on rrdtool as well, but I wonder if it would make much difference (good or bad) to store the mean or other average as the "higher up value" (ie: the average of the past 60 seconds as the minute value) ?
I think you're misreading me. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be held to a higher standard of accountability. I'm saying that presenting a united front is something that is a very human trait - and further saying that of course people aren't going to step forward when whistleblowers get the axe.

If you want to fix issues with the police, the first thing you have to understand is that there are humans behind those uniforms, humans who have spent a significant part of their life getting there. Being part of a skilled occupation is not something most people can just toss aside casually, hence why small offences get overlooked. If you can understand the motivations and psychology of the people doing the wrong thing, you have a wider array of tools at your disposal than "I have a really big stick here if you make a wrong step".

As for the circular reasoning bit - not at all circular, given that I'm not saying 'free pass'. If you want to break the cycle, change the culture. You do that by making it a point with the people cops answer to; make them give whistleblowers better protection. Changing the culture is difficult, but if you want serious change, that's the way to do it.
Ask HN: Which is project management software do you use? And why?
I have tried using Asana and Trello for project management for my team. But I find it difficult to make it stick with my team. It seems like too much work to do to learn them.

What has been your experience project management software?
Thanks for the informative counter-example - it's certainly possible, and congratulations on your company's success. I agree communication is key to keeping things going, and perhaps in tech companies this is easier (my work was in publishing at the time, quite an old-fashioned industry).

The managers I was interacting with were not technically minded, so that might make a difference, email was the main medium. But the problems I saw as a small company were more related to staying in touch with disparate clients and cultivating work over the long term than working day to day - the people making subcontracting decisions tended to forget you were there if you were never in the client office. This might depend on size and industry as well as communication - smaller companies probably depend on networking more than larger ones.

As somebody who preferred staying privately for a long time now - heck yes it's a game changer.

I don't have to dig through dozens of local weeklys, or tons of unsearchable craigslist ads. I pick the place where I'd like to stay, the price range, and make my choice - complete with a (far from perfect, but still) recommendation system for the hosts.

Saying that's not a game changer is like saying search engines added nothing to the Internet.

the Constitution guarantees total, absolute freedom of speech

Actually, the Constitution does, it's the government (specifically, the courts) that decided to add a few restrictions, ex post facto.

Whether or not that was a good thing is debatable, but the language in the Constitution could not be clearer: "no laws" means no laws, as in, zero. Nada. Zilch.

That we failed to live up to that ideal as a society is on us, not on the Constitution itself.
I'm in the same boat. This is pretty frustrating considering I'm paying for this special GPU instance by the hour.

[1] a fellow YCer says you should be networking with investors as opposed to working on product, contrary to what PG asks of you.

I remember at the beginning of my batch there were rumors of this "insider tip". Turned out that the best companies did exactly what YC said: make something people want (build product, talk to users) and stay somewhat healthy (exercise).

Anything else was a time-sink: worrying about hiring, adding co-founders, interns, getting press, "networking" etc. Focus on them too early, and risk serious injury or death. These have their place .. after you make something users want.

There were some good startups who were talking to investors, but they weren't "networking" as much as closing deals because they were doing so well.

Also, at least 90% of our dinners (s12) were still served Oliver Twist style, not catered, unless you can cater gruel ;)

Of the dinner speakers, there was one disappointment (canned speech), but most were great with the absolute highlight of Brian and Joe from AirBnB. Before dinner, PG was giddily floating around the room, every once in a while almost whistling "the AirBnB's are here".

Two hours of $40 cereal boxes, rejections, troughs of sorrow, and cockroaches later, I have a crystal clear memory of the room (of 300+) going silent as Brian stated "and then we started YC". Three hours after that, when ever question was answered, I don't think anyone walked out of that room the same.

For me, that is the essence of YC: the sheer energy in the air. The money's great if you need it (we didn't and it helped kill us), the network is powerful and helpful of course, the advice is often brilliant and more importantly brilliantly obvious. But the energy changes you, for many this happens in time to make their YC startup explode (in a good way).

For other founders, the realization comes late. I have an inkling that Ben Silbermann will not be the only YC alum to start a billion+ dollar startup after not doing so great during YC.

Yeah, except video acceleration has more of a chance of working reliably in this than in X Windows (it's a JOKE people! I'm not really trying to have a discussion about how video acceleration in Linux really does work now, finally, this time for good. Really.)

Anyway, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

Yes, all remote display protocols are similar at some level.

The fact that this is programmable via Javascript and runs in the most widely deployed client app ever made (ie, a browser) is a fairly significant difference though.
Or stricter regulations are put in place, or a big company like PayPal creates a competitor product, or... Lots of things can happen. There is absolutely nothing backing the price of Bitcoin, so to say that its price won't go down is foolish--pure speculation. If that were irrefutably true, the price would already be $1,000 or $10,000, but it's not, which means there are valid concerns for the future of Bitcoin.

Very nice, from what I can see.

Is this only targeted for authors of apps, not consumers? Because I'm a little confused by the sign-up requirements for viewing more data, but with the restriction on sign-ups for authors of apps:

> Please add an app before continuing

> If you haven't released an App, add your closest competitor instead

> If we can't find your App, paste the iTunes id or URL of the App

On the surface, this seems like anyone could benefit from this data. But if it's meant to just be for authors, seems like a lot of missed opportunity.

Or am I misunderstanding the whole point?
Libel is a civil matter.
Oooh man, this is an awesome idea. I will be playing with this soon.

But just one suggestion: video footage of the app being used on the page, front-and-center.

The live logo is really neat, but it doesn't really convey anything about the purpose of the app.

I'm already familiar with Theremins, but I'd bet a lot of your userbase wouldn't immediately grasp the nature of the app from what's on the page if they haven't seen one being used before.

Working even half an hour extra each day adds up to ~3 weeks a year of extra work that you're not getting paid for. That's several thousand dollars in wages. It's easy to dismiss a half-hour here or there but if you sit down and run the numbers, it's quite an unpleasant conclusion.
Dude is all balls and no brains. His sales pitch was that he's been to a shitload of countries, and that someone bombed a hotel that he almost stayed at once. His plan is to magically just start selling phones on 3 operating systems, and have a badass launch party. All for the low low price of $5B EUR.

Seriously? This guy shouldn't be given bus fare, let alone $5B. That "Tiny diaper for the tip of your penis" fake Kickstarter video had more imagination.

I wonder what punishing action the judge would take. Apple is one of the largest US companies and a national icon. I don't think the company could be fined privately because its books are public. Fining them publicly would only raise additional attention.

They will sell more cars than they can manufacture (and maybe more electric cars than anyone else can manufacture also, due to the current limited battery availability). They will continue to execute well on battery acquisition and development.

It would tell you which stores near your zip code had iPhone 5Ss (that's awkward to type), and which size, carrier and color they were.
> It's a reasonable presumption that the origin of most of that data is foreign.

I think that statement is false. Since it's known that google, yahoo and basically all major players mirror data from one data center to others to protect themselves from outages, a reasonable assumption from the technical side is that a large chunk of the data is actually American and that there is no way to figure out the nationality of the bits you're collecting. It reeks of trying to circumvent the restrictions that apply to data collection on american soil. That may still be legal by the letter of the law (all american data collected is just "bycatch"), but I doubt it's unintentional.
this is so true, you can have a very good quality life in Mexico or south america for less than it cost you to be in US. Working remotely has become a very handy way to make money. Although i wonder how big can you be without having a headquartes? Just rely only on skype, email to handle a team.

It's pretty sad at times.
They are all real. And yet they are all fake. One might guess the lowest markets price is the closest to the actual value, but you most look at the volume of trades. And, this is what I think is partly due to the major gaps between Gox and Bitstamp and other markets, is the ease/fees of the different markets and actually going from say USD to BTC and back again.

True. Taxes are armed robbery with a threat of kidnapping and confinement. They have nothing to do with theft.

Then where do you draw the line between XML as data vs. XML as code (which seems to be bad) and sexpr as data vs. sexpr as code (which seems to be good)?

Just curious; it's just syntax, after all, and I think that XSLT really has an advantage in transforming XML to other XML (or text) compared to a program in other languages.

It's a bit oversimplistic to equate this with movable type. It's also sensationalist to describe it as an early computer, of course. But I'd be perfectly happy with characterizing it as a very early precursor to the computer.

It's common to trace the lineage of modern computers back through the Analytical Engine and the Difference engine to the Jacquard loom. And what the Jacquard loom is, is an apparatus which takes input in the form of a digital code and performs a distinct action for each possible value in the input. The Writer is also an apparatus which takes input in the form of a digital code and performs a distinct action for each possible value in the input.

The key difference is that the Jacquard loom's input is composite: It's a series of bits, each of which indicates whether a corresponding harness should be raised or lowered. That's enough of an incremental difference that I think it'd be totally fair to treat The Writer as another step back in the modern computer's lineage.
I wouldn't say that anything in 1995 caused the surge. What you see was caused by something much earlier. Think about the kick in the butt US companies got as Japanese companies started to compete with the US in the 1980's. Many companies got leaner and meaner so profits picked up. Also whatever you think of the Reagan tax cuts of the 1980's they helped companies show higher profits since that money did not have to go for taxes. Also, for many years economist could not see how the Information Technology was helping the bottom line for companies. I suspect that the mid 1990's is when companies started showing the efficiencies that IT brings and therefore pickup earnings and the raise in stocks.

A health insurance plan isn't much of a perk for many countries outside of the US that have universal health care.

In that scenario I wouldn't care if that was only available to in-country employees, the same way that I wouldn't care about missing out on perks like catered lunches.

Pay is only one reason for work.

If pay is one's only reason, long hours for no extra pay are certainly objectionable. But that's a circular argument.

I like working long hours when it's work that I want to be doing. If people are working at something they don't want to do, maybe that is the real problem. For menial jobs that no one enjoys, there may be no easy way to fix the situation, but in an industry like tech there is little excuse for accepting it.

Not impossible, but you're not getting your money in less than 4-6 weeks. Although, looking at various complaints on forums, some people have been waiting since June/July or longer for withdrawals.

No it's the exact opposite. It's a poor tax.

Deflation means no new money that doesn't come from someone else's stash. Which means the money can only come from the rich.

Except, the rich's money is increasing in value. So they spend proportionally less and less of their true wealth, while creating no value, to buy the necessities of life from the poor.

And the poor, despite producing real value (food, cars, yachts, factories), no matter how hard they work, can never be wealthier then the established rich.

It's social stratification by absolutes, fortunately it usually doesn't last since the disenfranchised 99% by definition outnumber the 1%.

I don't know that it needs to be Turing complete, but I'm inclined to say that it should have at least some control operations to qualify as a computer.
