The content you see on the news.unbabel.com website is translated by all the user community on unbabel. However, only about 15% of our users, the best ones, are given paid translation tasks. We select these 15% based on the feedback system on which users give each other feedback and continuously improve. This and other measures are increasing the overall quality of the translations gradually.

This article doesn't make sense. Three startup founders wouldn't get three one-bedroom apartments. They would get one three-bedroom apartment, which would be much cheaper.
You should really try out AngularJS. The declarative syntax of it reminds me of Flex quite a bit. I haven't used AS3 or Flex in years and really miss that environment, and when I started using AngularJS I felt like I got a taste of it again.

We are still trying to figure that out, there is no clear answer regarding how to base the pricing. Perhaps it should be based on words that were actually corrected? So for the time being we basing it only on source language words. For chinese, for example, we probably will do it based on characters, but ideas are welcome.

Why? My experience has been that handing the reins tech companies over to accountants or "business people" has been fair to disastrous more frequently than handing them over to tech people with some business training.
Lots of those are for Sizzle.

jQuery would be great if it broke up all those tiny little and completely orthogonal things it does into modules so that people could use them as needed. No one library is going to provide everything for every project but making everyone require your ajax code when all they wanted was an `offset()` function is equally backwards thinking. We have much better tooling now to work with modules and to reuse code.

Arguments about CDN caching are some sort of premature optimization (or I don't know what really). Most early projects don't need it and other projects can trivially use many of the free (or super low cost) CDN providers if they care that much.

My issues with jQuery are not at how awesome it has worked in the past or how well it has hidden/handled lots of browser quirks; it is that thinking in terms of "everything is dom manipulation" is the wrong abstraction for doing organized and maintainable front-end code. The things jQuery does well would be useful within smaller components or libaries but now we are back to the original issue of jQuery is one giant blob.
Woah. I'm surprised they still have a workforce.

For your tears.
trimming fat while investing in innovation is not mutually exclusive, esp if you have a sizable cash cushion and a new CEO like zynga. on the surface, it seems unfair to compare this acquisition with omgpop since naturalmotion offers defensible IP and technology that can be used in helping zynga's games appear more lifelike, or like lucas technologies, help others make their creations, whether games or movies, appear more lifelike. more realistic animations and game play will become more common as mobile phones become more powerful, much as we saw with gaming consoles. this is a bold investment in the future of mobile (and potentially smart TV) entertainment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, PG, but

1. YC invests $11,000 + $3,000 per founder. So $17,000 for two founders; that should get them through the summer or winter, depending on which batch they're in. This money was never intended to last a year.

2. Each startup has the option of a $80k? (the amount has changed over time, I believe it's higher now) convertible note from Ron Conway/SV Angel. Some will take the note, some won't.

No one in Silicon Valley raises $20,000 and expects it to last one year.

That is a great point. We have some ideas on how to tackle that problem (like integrating with pontoon, from Mozilla, for example), but right now there would be some strings where that would be a problem. Surprisingly that has proven less of an issue than we had feared originally. In any case, it is a real problem for localization.

That's $100k revenue per employee in Q3 but employee expense is much lower than that[1]. Probably a median annual salary+bonuses of $100k + 15% in taxes & benefits, we're still looking at maybe $30k/employee/quarter.

One reason that hasn't been mentioned is external sales are considered a valuation event for the purposes of valuing option offers for new hires.

Especially when liquidity is so low, these secondary offerings result in ridiculous valuations on a very small amount of shares, but that really hurts the ability of the company to offer low strike prices on options to attract talent.
> Defining all 4 screen sizes gets tedious.

I've got to disagree, I think just having to add col size classes to divs to change how it's laid out on mobile/tablets/large monitors has helped tremendously, with 2.x it felt like we just had to hope it all worked out.
This is way off. All the groups I know of that came from outside the bay area rented in the peninsula not in SF, where it's noticeably cheaper. There are also "YC" houses that are passed down that are affordable. Finally, I never heard anyone worried about having to payback the 80k YCVC note.
I tend to try and break those ambiguous tasks down to less ambiguous action items. Sometimes that's not so easy because the task is "fix the stupid thing" - but I've found you can at least outline your process for approaching it & then sort of make sure you're following your troubleshooting process & using those steps as "action item" tasks.

Thanks Trey. Our goal is to get to 15 minutes of translation time. That would make it usable for email and customer service messages. Right now it depends on when our users are awake and which language pair. Faster time has been a few minutes, average is around an hour.

Microsoft’s Next CEO Reportedly Will Be Its Cloud Boss Satya Nadella
This is a purely business perspective, completely dropping the interests of the user.

All older communication companies (providing e.g. phone calls, fax, SMS) have working, interoperable systems that work on a global scale for _any customer of one company to any customer of another company_. By using a globally unique number.

It is, quite frankly, a disgrace that we now run around and find excuses for companies to re-introduce closed networks on a medium that provides working low-level routing on a global scale for almost all connected parties already. We're talking short messages here. I went back to SMS because of all this bull. Not even iMessage. It works. With everyone. Everywhere. Without installing something.

From a users perspective, the current situation is horrible and a huge step back.

I couldn't care less about what the benefit for Google or Facebook is.

Boy, these snippets are really cool! Some of them are a bit longer in vanilla JS, though, so I think I'll wrap them in a utility of helper functions.

Oh wait -- that's what jQuery is!
Mad props should be given to these guys for (IMHO) Doing It Right(tm). They're managing all their packages via ONE package interface (apt-get), and are able to reap the rewards of being able to more easily manage their knowledge, build tools, and build processes - at the end of the day, it's just simpler than having to go "Oh, this is installed via apt-get, these are installed via gem-install, over here these are installed via setup.py..." The whole gem/egg/cpan/whatever concept has serious issues when moving from the developer's laptop to the production environment, and I wish more folks took the time up front to do it natively, like Spotify and Hynek.
I think this may be related to how it has proven difficult to be able to maintain a persistent, decentralized identity online.

The centralized "make an account with us" approach lends itself towards monopoly centralization of every service - once a critical mass is on-board with a single service, they get led into path dependency with the others. That's how Google, Facebook, et al. have been able to creep into every aspect of identity.

The only protocol I can think of that has bucked this trend is IRC, which has moved from a "few big networks" model to a bevy of smaller ones since the mid-2000s. Identity persistence there is secondary to community persistence, which may account for the difference. All the centralized services rely on being acommunal - a single giant network on which anyone may reach anyone. And with acommunal spaces, there is a strong "free for all" aspect that puts trade and monetization in the dominant position - which, besides the monopolistic aspects, leads to spam, identity theft, sockpuppeting, et al.

There is, perhaps, a model for reversing the overall trend through the community-persistence method; an entire community is harder to fake, thus it produces much stronger guarantees about identity.
I think only pricing the source language makes sense. That way the consumer knows the cost going in and there's no incentive for you to provide more verbose translations.
She's too young for cuisenaire rods / blocks yet, but those are great.

Pound o' dice (chessex) are great. Really tactile, lots of colours. Again, severe choke hazard at the moment.

It's probably more important to teach logical thinking and questioning. When she says "why?" Say "that's a good question, what do you think?" Teach her to gather the information she has and to find out what information she needs.

Teach her about estimation.

But as for stuff that's available now? There's a big gap in the market for gender neutral clothing with positive messages. Onesies and t-shirts in a variety of colours with messages like "future rocket scientist" or similar "geek" slogans would be great.

Just a little. The next time I am brought onto an existing project, I will use one of them. For my own code, I generally know how I have built things. I have my own debugging categories to dump view and controller hierarchies.

To make "code visible" as I use an app, I wrote a category that logs -viewDidLoad -viewDidAppear and anything else one wants: https://github.com/mediumbear/LoggingInterceptor
Very handy, never ask "what is this controller called again?", just look in the console.
Will the curators be as obtusely disconnected from their readers as your replies to my posts have been?

I mean, my argument is that there is fundamental difference, a wide gulf, between a feed of friends' posts and a curated stream of news article, even if some friend's posts contain some links.

A friend might, say, object to my argument using a counter-argument whereas, for example, a marketing bot would respond with a stream of text all of which is synonymous with "don't worry, it will be great".
The biggest thing this comes down to is discipline. Deciding that you're going to do something & simply doing it.

Breaking this down into 3 parts means that I'm not spending more than 2-3 hours in one place. If I'm having trouble sticking to something for a couple hours - there's usually a bigger problem than just being "productive."
You could still do that. You can create an invoice and apply a credit. They offer a free trial so you can see.
It's worth keeping in mind that the size of minified jQuery is 32kb.
Interesting, but I wonder about this:

Leaving out javascript (in the browser), it sounds like an odd statement to make about php -- after all one of php strengths is how easy it is to link with c-libraries (or other with c ffi)? Among other things I quickly found:

Good call - I've changed the title.

What sort of evidence do you think a developer should look for to tell whether a language may become popular, rather than just plateauing with a strong, but relatively small, user base? How strong should the evidence be to justify choosing an up-and-comer over an existing major player?
Not sure why you'd think that—we've had it the last five months, since v3 dropped.
In particular, as I looked at the IE8+ list, Many of the 3-4 line plain old js lines were 1 line in jQuery.

When writing web apps, brevity counts for a lot.
My question is, do you really need a 9116 line library, or do you need a handful of 100 line libraries?

Not because 32k is too much data, but because it's just not in line with how I envision dependencies anymore.
I am becoming more and more infatuated with this particular idea. I know a lot of people will want to host their own thing (I personally would) but more people wouldn't want or wouldn't even know how.

Ah, now if they would just disable the tile interface entirely for desktops, that would just grand.

I have recently switched to using Win8.1 full time as my main work desktop, and I really don't use the tile interface at all after just a couple weeks.

Because when I want to just play one of my own MP3s, I don't really need to be looking at a full-screen advertisement of the latest from 50 Cent. Thankfully, Windows Media Player is still there (though harder to find), and I was able to switch that to be the default.
I'm glad you did (but I wouldn't have finished if you hadn't).

More people learning & having fun is better. IMO people only complain about the extended deadline because of its effect on the rankings.

The scoring system was an interesting addition over CTF2, but it also created these complaints and silliness like people submitting the same code repeatedly to get the best score possible.

It may have been better to only tell players what broad percentile group they're in. There would still be an incentive to write faster code, without the frustration of being edged out of position #20 because someone else's submission was (arbitrarily) scored a few points higher.

Also, depending on the living situation of the founders prior to YC, it may be cheaper moving to the Bay Area. For example, 3 founders living in separate apartments consolidating to a single one bedroom may find savings.
I don't think that's true unless it just started with this most recent comment. I check sciwiz other comments and they aren't dead. Might've just been this comment that was killed.

This is sort of a personal preference, but I tend to find that I work best with an imminent deadline.

Before this, I would sometimes not doing anything all day and then rush to get things done before the end of the day.

Splitting it into parts gives me an artificial deadline that helps me focus my energy a little better. Also, taking the breaks in between each set of tasks helps with a sense of accomplishment but also just gets me moving so I'm not in front of a screen for 8 hours a day straight.
Watch me.

But if you have a black box obfuscator, creating a
public key encryption protocol becomes a simple matter
of choosing your favorite secret-key encryption scheme,
expressing its workings as a computer program,
obfuscating the program, and making the obfuscated
version widely available. Anyone can then use it to
encrypt a message to send to you, but no one can tease
the decryption key out of the obfuscated software.

I cannot imagine downloading and running such an application for which nobody could feasibly determine it was safe, except to run it in some sort of secure sandbox.
Thanks for calling this out. Its a discussion that I really think needs to happen.

I personally love the concept of yc, and see the value but for a good portion of the entrepreneur community it can't work out because of the economics. I would love to see a accelerator give enough money for a realistic budget for a seasoned team. Including myself I have 4 people on my team and we are 3 seasoned developers and an executive with lots of experience as a CIO and CFO. We have real bills and can't live on peanuts, mortgages, kids, need for real health insurance, etc. We are more expensive, but we can outbuild probably most of the teams out there, and especially the ones that have little experience. I wonder if much of the reason we have so many failed startups is that we are don't bet enough on seasoned individuals unless they have enough cash to carry them through the early stages. I would love to see what would happen if pg did a session of YC looking for seasoned teams what would happen. I'd be willing to bet you'd have a good chance for some amazing results, even if it would be more expensive.
> The most basic insurance plan available caps out of pocket expenses at $6350, which while is still significant but likely won't cause medical bankruptcy. Even the most "premium" plan only caps out of pocket expenses at ~$3000, yet would cost $3000-5000 more in premiums.

are those caps per year ? per incident ?

even if they are per year, that doesn't make sense. you're asking me to believe that people have been paying $3000 more to cap their risk for the year at a number $3000 lower. It can't be that simple, or else people have been leaving money on the table.
Yeah but the notion that you can have a power plant which requires outside power in order to not melt-down is -- frankly -- retarded.

Imagine a coal plant that burns down 100,000 acres around it if the primary coal containment system (made up) loses power. Would anyone like that in their backyard?

Or a hydro plant that if power isn't continuously supplied to, not only could the dam breach and flood downhill but also somehow miraculously uphill too (not realistic but comparative to nukes).

That's what a nuclear power plant that can't slowly coast to a stop is like. I don't care how many backups and backups of backups you have, if physics isn't on your side if/when the plant loses power it's a horrible design.

EDIT: a few changes for clarity
Considering XMLHttpRequest is what other browsers used before IE caught up, I assume it does work the way you'd expect across modern browsers. I'd have to check the standard and IE8+'s conformance to the standard to be sure. That's what this post is really about for me, reminding that modern browsers follow a standard that allows for getting rid of most of jQuery. Reading it also made me recall a post from 2005 by PHP's creator: http://rajshekhar.net/blog/archives/85-Rasmus-30-second-AJAX... (Note IE uses ActiveXObject.)
