You might not be missing anything (hey, it's "Idea Sunday" not "Great Idea Sunday"). I still haven't working out the numbers enough to know if it could work.

To your points, however, any time I try to print at a wal-mart or drug store kiosk there's a 50% chance the kiosk is broken or busy.

I'm very familiar with the wedding and portrait industry as well as photo booths. I think the booths in a retail location could work well–and could be a way to drive app downloads (want the file? download the app).

Right, this would be a place to do that. It would be a combination of low-cost with contemporary styling/posing.

>> "But this brings up another point, which is that freelancing often isn't a good way to get money quickly."

Although I agree with most of what you've said it all depends on how you structure the milestones. On every job I work the first milestone gets paid immediately. In other words if I win a job, I immediately get some money. If they job is small I use two milestones:

1. Project started (50%)
2. Project completed (50%)

For larger projects I split the job up further and reduce the amount required in the first and last milestone. But the result is the same - money up front as soon as you win a job. It's also a good way of gaining some trust the client will pay. I didn't do this for the first 18 months I freelanced and got screwed several times. That happens rarely now.

Hi dosh, I don't think that HN is build or is inspired in Reddit code/design. Both of them are open source, but Reddit is build in Python and HN in Lisp.
Let's have a look at one product Scotland is famous for - Scotch Whisky, or 'Scotch' for short. Chances are that the first brands that you think of are probably owned by Diageo, which has headquarters in London. Quite clearly 'Bell's' whisky is not English or a London thing, it is most definitely a Scottish product.

Even when Scottish companies are not part of some giant multinational they are likely to have a head office in London. The reasons for this are obvious - London has things like a stock market.

You could probably make the same argument that this article proposes about most of the states in the USA. Companies might operate in loads of states, possibly all of them, and maybe have a brand image strongly associated to one of them. Yet they could be owned by some mega-corporation that probably only exists in somewhere like the Cayman Islands. Why doesn't Tennessee have any global companies? Same deal as Scotland, with the famous 'Jack Daniels' whiskey being made there but part of some company with headquarters elsewhere. Is 'Jack Daniels' from Tennessee and a global brand? Yes. But a 'global company', no.

Back to the article, in terms of pure GDP, Denmark is well ahead of Scotland. They have better housing stock, better provision for things like benefits for folk out of work, pensioners and those having children. There is a lot to recommend Denmark. In terms of what matters, having 'global companies' is way down the list as far as life in Scotland is concerned.

It's perfectly fine to say "excuse me but I really need to get back to my work in this computer".

Way more polite than trying to "clue them in" using short one-word answers, anyway.

You're never "forced to respond" any more than the simple courtesy of politely informing them you have no time or wish to chat.
Thanks! I built it last summer and posted it on a couple of forums but it's basically dead. It would be awesome if more people would use it though, in terms of monetisation I think some sort of 'Sponsored Curations' thing could work quite well, where companies can create their own lists and have them appear in users' feeds.

It's completely unclear from this post whether the poster is a) a student who doesn't understand hash tables and is using the word "random" in its colloquial sense of "arbitrary", or b) someone who did know that hash tables store in a non-obvious order and is using the word "random" in its technical sense.

Given that the poster says that "you would think" the iteration order has anything to do with the insertion order, and doesn't show multiple iteration runs with different results, I'm rather inclined to assume the former. Is there evidence in the other direction?

And we all claim that softwares always have bugs, and must evolve. Sometimes I think we are just justifying our own lack of dedication and hard work for a perfect design that is stable and does the whole job correctly since beginning.

To give one example where TeX hasn't evolved, and which I think is a wrong decision rather than "perfect design": its Unicode handling is atrocious. Of course, this is because Unicode didn't exist when TeX was designed. But now it does. In fact it not only exists, but is the default text encoding on most contemporary machines. My locale is set to en_US.UTF-8, for example, and I'd therefore expect my toolchain, from grep through TeX, to be able to handle UTF-8 text. But TeX chokes on it.

(Fortunately, the developers of pdfTeX aren't as averse to adding new features as Knuth is, so I've switched to that.)
Are you also against big government taking away our freedom to keep the entire proceeds of those contracts, in the form of taxes, which it then redistributes to the poor?

You know, so that despite having a job paying $0.50/hr, people can still afford to buy enough food to eat for themselves, and so they can afford to live somewhere heated in the winter?

Or are you fully behind an individual's right to die of starvation and/or hypothermia, because if they really cared about living, they'd... uh... ummm... shit - what is it they'd do again?

Out of curiosity, are you and 99% of the people you know relatively well off, and not in forseeable danger of running out of food or warmth any time in the next decade or so? Do you, as the saying goes, got yours?

I got mine, but I am somewhat concerned about the other people in my community who don't. I don't want to step over their bodies, rather, I'd like to help them get out of the pit they're in - however they got there. Be that being born into poverty, or falling into a career 20 years ago which has since been automated away, or through illness, or just bad bloody luck. So I'll give to charity and food banks, but I'd rather that people could get jobs which pay well enough that they don't need to use 'em.

As for the people that got theirs but are content to say "fuck you Jack" to those that don't, they're not the kind of people I want to share my community, or country, with.

Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search, alerts, posting limits) rather than charge for a group, since they would just run to FB then.

You are probably one buying work on freelancer websites? I don't have any experience in this area, but what the author in his blog post says is that the transaction itself did not start. So the client had already paid, and the website would have probably showed him that the first milestone is paid, but the freelancer didn't receive his money in that instance. Even if everything goes as it should it would have taken a few days till his money would have arrived.

Well, yeah, this guy is desperate, and it's because of a series of events and decisions, some of which may have been his own fault. He basically says as much. But the point here is that freelancer.com is taking advantage of desperate people with this ridiculous runaround. Reading it, it's clear that this is not even a situation like you get with Google where you can't find a human being to take a look at your problem. They wrote bunches of emails to him and about him, and there seems to be a deliberate kind of obtuseness running through it all. Hard to believe it's not deliberate - and that's not something that I conclude often.

Looking at his larger picture, it's kind of hard to believe that the $1500 wire or even the $5000 from the project will make this night and day difference in his whole life... but that's not a reason to withhold it from him.

Thats why you shouldnt do any larger jobs over these sites. Do smaller scale projects over them to build your profile and reviews, and each larger project should go directly through wire or any other kind of payment processor, without freelance sites being middleman.

Just a tip, but maybe you should try to put public pressure on them. I had a case once when I got scammed for $1200 on Elance by a guy doing chargeback frauds, and Elance locked my account because I didnt had enough funds loaded to cover up the scam cost (they wanted to minus my balance by $1200 to cover chargeback, which I had no right to appeal to). I was locked out for a months, until I found a relatively popular blog post about Elance (over HN too, coincidentally), and an Elance representative who commented on it in comments. I replied to his comment and asked him why they did what they did to my account, and got account unlocked in less then a day. He probably figured out 1k$ bucks is less worth than negative publicity.

I think this reflects a lot of the philosophy of Go (and, probably the goals of Google in supporting it). They didn't just want a language that was productive and shiny and new, but a language whose features would actively prevent coders (Google employees in particular) from writing bad code, sometimes even at the cost of brevity and coder convenience.

So in addition to this feature (actively preventing developers from depending on a particular hash map implementation), there are:

1. No implicit type conversions.

2. No assignment/increment operators as expressions (only as statements).

3. No unchecked array dereferences (though this is pretty standard in new languages).

4. You have to go out of your way to do manual locking.

5. A canonical whitespace style, and tools for enforcing it.

etc. Some of these are useful if you're careful, but the language assumes that you're not careful and will mess it up if you try doing something tricky.

This can be annoying, but it also creates this feeling that, if your code compiles, it doesn't have the same kind of hidden problems that, say C++ or Java code usually does, which is a big draw. (If I understand correctly, those are the other two main languages used at Google on the server-side.)

Html Tables as a service.

For the average Joe, making html tables is such a task. <tr><td> about a zillion times. Yes I realize that anyone putting a table into html should really be using a database, but again for the average joe, that is too much brain damage, and still too hard.

The idea is: Copy excel headers and data into the service, and out pops embeddable html/javascript/whatever code that the person can embed directly on their site. From the user perspective, they can have one place to keep their table data and have an easy way to embed a table into html from excel.

Alternatives:
Google Docs embed, zoho creator embed, etc - but these do not integrate directly into the site (ie they cannot inherit css styles from the site)
Tableizer - does the conversion of excel cells to html, but does not store the table and data for the user to call at a later date (ie data is static and used once)

It is really similar to the http://myjson.com/ idea, except its for people who don't know what json is.
For some reason this reminds me of Google's Prizes.org (RIP) - too bad it never really took off, bounty-based crowdsourcing is an interesting approach for projects like this one.
