How Startups Can Discover the Right Product Pricing
I think you should be hating the websites that does this rather than King.com

King.com Explicitly prohibits this (and a number of other things) when they advertise with ad companies. But there are always rogue elements (Probably the said websites in this case) that does these kind of things to drive install rate (and make money from King.com).

If I were to brainstorm, I would recommend that Mozilla folks start go after enterprise market; almost every bank I have consulted for uses awful and poorly made GUI application using Swing or C# and most are struggling with Mobile.

UK banks are just as bad. A company I worked for previously gave a bank's investment products a high risk rating because of poor investments/compliance and they sent all sorts of nasty shit out.

The press estimates Snapchat's current employee count at 30. I think it's probably a bit higher. Imagine you've been in a cave, so you haven't heard that VCs aren't already $1B+ bullish on them. They show you their user numbers and offer you 0.07% to be employee #50. Aren't you stoked? I would be.

Equity is supposed to match your multiplicative effect on the "fair value" (which is, of course, theoretical on account of being hard to evaluate) of the company (at small sizes, almost everyone is multiplicative-- or divisive). If I'm only going to add 0.07% to a 30-person company, then I'm not going to be challenged. I'm too big a gun for piddling targets.
Coinbase handled the recent surge in traffic pretty poorly. When prices tanked / fluctuated heavily, they turned off the ability to buy citing "a lack of bitcoin" and told users they could put in buy orders now for the market price on Friday or Monday. Two days later when the price is back up to ~$700 you can mysteriously buy again.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but USD liquidity has been extraordinarily frustrating over the past several days since most exchanges are foreign (and US bank wires take days to weeks).

It is a peculiarity of French administrative law. It's not a court that fined Mish, but an Autorité Administrative Indépendante (AAI or independent administrative authority, but I'm sure you did not need the translation) with the power to fine people (there are only a few).

Basically, if he appeals, it will very probably be overturned by a proper judge. Another AAI in charge of the regulation of the telecommunications sector got striken badly by a decision of our Constitutionnal court (no less) which suppressed its power to pronounce sanctions, judging the protection of the rights of defence was not effective. It's going to end the same way here I would say.

I mainly use gnome-shell, but I fired up Unity on my Ubuntu 13.10 running Thinkpad T400 (~4 year old machine, core 2 duo) with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 840 pro SSD. the unity dash comes up instantaneously for me; certainly less than 1/2 a second. I'm guessing the SSD makes a big difference, as it does with all other computer performance issues. A 128GB MLC SSD costs less than $100 these days, and using one as your OS drive is by far the most incredible performance improvement you can make on a desktop machine.

Looks like a paid-for article to exonerate fracking.

It mentions only at one point the 'fracking fluids', and in order to present then as if they are harmless, it says:

1. "gelling agents (used in ice cream)"
2. "friction reducers (used in cosmetics)"
3. "acid to anti-bacterial agents (used in disinfectants)" (note the trick to exonerate "acid" by attaching the anti-bacterial agents, so it then mentions 'used in disinfectants' as if those contain acids as well...)

If I were to make my own fracking fluid, do I mix together my disinfectant, my ice-cream and my mascara?

Just another shameful article, probably paid-for, by the fracking industry.
Ask HN: I actually need a job now
I've been working in startups for the last few years, using a lot of the latest tech that startups often use (Rails, Node, Mongo, Angular etc.).

Now I'm back in my home town (failed and can't afford to be out in London doing this any more), and seeking any job for a developer. But all I see is PHP, .NET, VB, Java and everything that HN seems to hate.

I actually haven't touched this stuff since school, and everything I've learned and used over these last few years seems to be useless in the corporate world here.

I'm renting alone and therefore need a job quickly. My options are finding a quick job (e.g. waiter, shop assistant) while brushing up on PHP (or maybe something else has better career opportunities?) in the evenings, or just doing something completely different.

Truth is I want a stable career now and care little about whether we're coding in Erlang or Java.

Because tone is a another channel of information, and one we've been trained to acknowledge as part of the message, even if subconsciously, all our lives.

For a very simple example, tone may convey confidence. If that confidence is in a statement that people find reasons to doubt or disagree with, depending on their own confidence they may feel more or less compelled to disagree.

> "on your Apple devices"

That's the problem. Apple has DRMd the protocol so you have to be using an Apple device to send things to it.
Ok, the reason "indie" devs aren't doing as well is if you aren't ballsy enough to charge enough for their apps for them to be profitable.

Consider the $50 game vs $0.99 game. To make the same money from a dollar game you need to sell 50x as many copies basically. As an indie dev with minimal budget, making money in a market where significant revenue means significant volume, it is going to take a lot of advertising to make a dent.

What the bigger companies have done is made games that are F2P with a much higher value via micro transactions. Their revenue per install might be something like $10 whereas the indie dev who doesn't want to charge as much revenue per install might be closer to $5. That means the people with the higher RPI can advertise more or spend more per install and still be profitable.

It's not unfair to indies so much as it is that indies aren't charging enough to make the numbers work. Also, if indies don't have the cash flow to float that $5 per user over 12 months that it takes to get it, they aren't going to be able to afford the $2.50 CPI.

The same economics play out in many, many businesses. Business is always a game of balancing production, operating, and sales costs against revenue. Whoever is best at that wins.

Maybe indies just aren't very good at business.
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried that strategy with any success post-Opera? They're the last I remember to sell significant numbers of copies of a browser. Depending on how you count, that ended in either 2000 (when they introduced a free ad-supported version, though you could still pay for a registered, ad-free version), or 2005 (when the paid version was phased out entirely).
Clearly you can actually find dates.

I could see someone maybe paying for something like that. I could see it being useful if each item in the list was a complete package, including well-thought-out detailed description, potential functionality, path to revenue, market breakdown, available domains, SEO opportunities, etc.

You would have to figure out how to entice someone to purchase the item without giving them all the details, but my point is this could have at least some revenue potential.
Aside from the fact that he made most of his money hosting infringing copies of American content, and serving ads to subscribers in the America, there was the more basic hook that he hosted some of the infringing content on servers in Virginia.

That's the problem most of the copyright infringement sites have. They deal primarily in content that is produced by Americans and considered a property right in America. The U.S. wouldn't give a shit if they were just trading foreign music and movies to each other. Even then, it was e.g. the Swedes that went after Pirate Bay (based on a criminal complaint filed by the MPAA in Sweden).
Nobody knows or understands why the Chinese government is allowing so much purchase of bitcoin. I suspect they will not continue to allow it.

I did not say that Chinese were buying other currencies with their bitcoin en masse although I'd be surprised if many were not. Perhaps they are just diversifying. Some may have no account in place to sell bitcoin for other currencies.

Not surprising, there is no free speech in France.

Especially when it comes to crooked banks or politicians. France is a strange country that likes to give lessons about democracy to the rest of the world, but when you look at things closer, France is closer to a monarchy than a democracy.

Everything is so centralised that information usually comes from an single source of truth, that journalist dont even bother questioning since they are all married with politicians (literally).
Ucarp looks cool, will sure have a look. Thank you for the input.
You sound like you're mistaking your dislike of crowds as dislike for Apple Stores. I have none of those issues. The stores are always crowded, but there are always enough devices that I do not have to wait to try the desired device. And I tell the store employees "just looking" if I don't want to talk to them.

The Microsoft Store on the other hand.... that needs work. I've been a few times now and the balance of staff:customers:devices was way off. As one of the few customers in the store, I was repeatedly asked if I had questions. Finally I decided to ask what QuadHD+ is (3200x1800 if you're curious)... the store rep didn't know, then dragged me over the computer so she could look it up and "explain" it to me and how it's "better than retina".

General standards of conversation (aka not being a dick) forbid you from insulting others. Your adoption of Crocker's rules do not change that, as clearly communicated by the linked page.

> Note that Crocker's Rules does not mean you can insult people; it means that other people don't have to worry about whether they are insulting you.

Your tone still matters unless you are communicating with someone else who is operating under Crocker's Rules.
Except to those who saw Jordan play [1]. LeBron is probably a top 5 - all-time player, but his style is very different from Jordan, which makes comparisons difficult. He seems more like Magic and less like Mike.

People will always gravitate toward recent greatness being greater than those in the past. But, it's frankly impossible to teller cause we don't have enough context and emotional separation. Being able to say that we saw the greatest ever play is appealing because some of that greatness can then pass over to us by association. It's better to enjoy the greatness we see now and leave the comparisons for history. It is fun to think about though.

[1] I never saw Jordan live, which is something I regret.
Oh, for sure. That's why I said "mostly". But the majority mindshare/publicity is for their user-facing stuff.

This is abstracted and very understandable. The picture is the definition of a function, which in turn invokes the definition of other functions. The P's are abstractions for conditional probability, the sums are loops etc. If this were code, it would be no more than a few lines and very understandable.
Unlike code however, for all this there is very thorough documentation for mathematics in millions of pages by thousands of people in many different languages at all levels. The
documentation is textbooks, and they're pretty good.
XL Recordings is a true independent label. It is not owned by a major record label, even indirectly. That's the definition of independent that is used within the music business.

Just because they're incredibly successful, doesn't make them not an independent label. Changing the definition of "indie" to exclude XL makes the claim that 'indies aren't successful' a simple tautology.

I'd agree with this. A few top players have stated that Carlsen is extremely difficult to prepare for, because he's capable of playing a wide range of openings, using obscure variations, and adjusting his play/style towards his opponent.

If you review his games over time, you'll noticed he's become a much more balanced player, capable of playing both extremely dangerous and tactical positions filled with traps, but also more quiet positions that aren't as sharp, but rich with strategic possibilities.

Many players tend to lean towards a specific "style" of play, but Carlsen has a rare gift to be able to adapt a variety of styles depending on his position and opponent.

Alternative revenue models are needed.

Their current revenue model isn't "Google", it's "the search box on Firefox". Now, you can debate whether it is sensible to rely on the search box, but it isn't tied to Google. Microsoft or Yahoo would probably love to get there instead.
You mean like Microsoft?
Mozilla looks like they're hedging their bets. Looking at the balance sheet shows that they are sitting on $240 million in cash at the end of 2012, up from $170 million in 2011. They could weather a couple of years with no Google revenue.

You can probably handle .NET, and if you want a stable, enterprise-fueled job, then an enterprise language like .NET is great.

I don't think HN hates .NET or Java, they just don't make the frontpage as much. .NET (with C#) was quite a pleasure for me to work with and sometimes I miss it while hacking on Python+Django for my daily work.

Also, don't sell yourself short. Let the interviewers decide you're not worthy. Put your best foot forward and hit up some of those shops. If they like you, they'll have you come in and train you. They'll probably have their own deploy strategies and such already setup, so you'll have time to learn the language. Remember these are established places, not move-fast-break-things startups, so it isn't necessarily like you'll be writing production c# or Java the first morning. (If you do that's awesome, but I find that to be unlikely)
Editorial review of docs is helpful too.

Are you really seriously suggesting that income from iOS search was remotely significant to Apple's bottom line?
Typical hate from the HN crowd: Assume that everyone is as technically competent as you are and that your outlook on a product or experience is the only one that matters.

Receiving too much credit? Are you asinine? Perhaps you don't remember the days before the Apple Store. Purchasing a computer involved going to retail outlets like CompUSA or Circuit City that cared more about their bottom line then paying attention to the dilapidated surroundings. If you did choose to go to a slightly nicer place like Best Buy, good luck buying a computer that didn't come with tons of manufacturer adware that the "GEEKS" felt the need to either clean for a ridiculous fee or install more on top of. Or my favorite, you could go to Gateway Country, and get the worst of retail annoyances and overpricing with the annoyance of waiting provided by online shopping!

In fact, the misguided nature of your post is pretty well evident if you simply replace all instances of [Apple Store] with [holiday shopping]. It's difficult to get into most any shopping center retailer, especially those that have a single location in a major metro area.

Oh, and how dare any retail store allow potential customers to spend time getting familiar with the devices they're about to drop hundreds of dollars on. Nope, some self-entitled guy on HN thinks your game is asinine, yet lacks the basic social cues to politely ask to see a device or god-forbid queue for it, so curse Apple for not enforcing limits. (For the record, they do enforce limits in highly specific circumstances where people are actually abusing the privilege, but I'd like to see you try to deal with angry shoppers during the holidays).

And yet, when Apple staffers do approach you, to ya know, maybe inquire if you'd like to check out a device yourself, they're berating you.

Which is the whole point: Apple gets credit in retail because they do the best job of providing a great buying experience to customers in an industry that is inherently difficult, whereas MS, Samsung, Google and others just seem to copy poorly. Since your own insecurities seem to be the problem, just neckbeard it up for some online shopping at home, which is the most pleasant experience anyway.
