I attended the SF startup school at the end of 2013 and had a similar experience but perhaps not quite so negative:

1) There's seemingly no access to the speakers outside of listening to what they have to say from a stage. The speakers were really great, and very interesting, but it's a shame I couldn't speak with one or two of them

2) Office hours with PG was incredibly entertaining, but I didn't take much away from it

3) I (perhaps naively) thought I'd be surrounded by people I could learn from so I made a point of talking to as many people as possible. Every single person I took the opportunity to engage with was looking for an idea/funding/technical co-founder blah blah blah. The good news is that I left feeling like our little app http://www.staffsquared.com was doing really rather well given we'd bootstrapped it. The bad news is that I didn't get much in the way of advice or new connections from the day. Perhaps the clue is in the name - startup school, 90% of the people I spoke with had just left college/Uni and were trying to find a pathway in to startups.

I'd definitely recommend the Startup School if you like one or more of the speakers. I left feeling energised and slightly wiser from the talks I listened to. I didn't stick around for the big one, Zuckerburg, because I felt like I'd sat and listened enough for one day...your mileage will definitely vary.
I spend way too much time on this too.

Unless I can think of a pun or rhyme that clearly works semantically, then I almost never bother with "cute" names like that and just go either with unrelated nouns, or a boring description ("[thing]-finder") as a name.

On a side note, what is with all these startups naming their companies "noun-ly"? I find it kind of disjarring, nonsensical, and even annoying. At least the "twttr" type names I can sort of understand.

Assuming you want to start from scratch, perhaps as a learning exercise, without leveraging glibc and similar:

First, try running a kernel directly within a VM such as KVM. Then read about the initramfs format and how to construct one, and build a simple one with a single statically linked executable. Explore what you can do with that.

http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny/teensy.htm... might provide you with more insight into the syscall interface and the ELF format. From there, look into the ELF "interpreter" mechanism and the dynamic linker. Then, write a C program that doesn't link to glibc, and instead makes syscalls directly.
Funny you should mention GNUStep/WindowMaker... absolutely my favourite WM. I agree most of the rest are bloated and wonky. Gnome has removed almost all of its menus and bells and whistles and it's largely unusable now. KDE is the kitchen sink inside the kitchen sink. It's overly complicated for a DE. Sadly, there is no real focus on WM now, although last year, Window Maker Live, a Debian-based live ISO was released. It hasn't gained a real foothold among aficionados.

There was an attempt to get Window Maker back in the limelight last year. Not sure where this has gone...

What does a San Francisco startup knows about the taxi situation in Berlin? Uber has often been well received in cities where taxi service is inefficient, but are berliners really unhappy with the service? Does Uber know that taxis in Berlin are used mostly by tourists, and therefore are not that hard to catch?

Maybe Uber has spent a lot of time researching the German market, or maybe they are following Walmart steps[1] in applying US notions to a foreign market. But after living in Berlin for a year, I have to wonder: if Uber's free-for-all approach clashes against Germany's love for paperwork, whose fault is it?

But the research cited in the article indicates that people are more willing to submit their future self to consequences that they wouldn't want in the short-term. That's consistent with my experience with approaches like the site you cited, which is that it doesn't help me procrastinate less, but vastly increases my stress and panic associated with a deadline as the consequence approaches, when it's too late to work effectively.

Overall, this is really nice!

I found a bug: I started at http://itripd.com/trip/4, scrolled down to the Desert Safari, clicked it, then clicked a picture. When you close out of the picture (clicking the X) the site gets into a weird non-functional state. Clicking a second picture removes the list of pictures, but doesn't bring up a new one. I'm on Safari 7.0.5, but this happens in Chrome as well.

The weird thing about this is that other trips don't seem to have that problem. I did notice that other trips load the comments box beside the picture, but this particular one doesn't. Very strange!
The app looks great, but how are you going to make money from this so you can sustain it?
Well, the Hamburg Authority did that, it's a funny read: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2aok79ru2kyrn30/SBWVI-PRT-71407181... The response of the insurance company was: No, this is not covered under the insurance contract and we canceled the contract for that violation.

So yes, the insurance for private car owners does not cover commercial activities - no surprise here. And it's not an easy fix, because the premiums for commercial contracts are much higher, making the whole business idea much less profitable. And then, there's another long laundry list of code violations that Uber has to fix. I'm all in for letting Uber compete with cabs, but please, stick to the same rules and don't pretend that "disruption" is an excuse for "illegal".

Mobile Integration and the Evolution of the Enterprise Middleware
Every person who takes Uber ride votes for Uber and against other taxis. If berliners are all happy with taxis, Uber wouldn't earn a penny there. But since they do and are willing to invest into challenging the ban in court, it's an indicator of existing demand for Uber.

Now who is this Berlin "authority" to decide for people how they should travel from point A to point B? I don't care if Uber is from SF, Berlin or Hong Kong. They are not forcing people to pay them unlike governments that extract taxes and then tell taxpayers how they should live.

Initially the dart vs javascript code were almost 1:1(compiled ~ 2 : 1) at size We needed it to get it working first. But then we started to use some dart conventions and the code shrink. The compiled version is still bigger than compiled js though, but for me the real benefit here is the structure of the code - it is getting more and more manageble. The app is very close to ExtJS (custom windows like app)
I agree with deleting the emails. The US is woefully behind Europe in this regard. I would like to see a French-style work week, with the added goodness of France's recent email/phone call law forbidding employers from contacting employees after a certain time.

I would like, at the very least, to see a federal law forbidding more than 40 hours max. The world has really deteriorated in regard to family life since the 80s. When everything started becoming 24-7, that's when the decline began. I remember the sanity of the 80s whilst living in a couple of countries in western Europe at the time. The pace of life was better, more family time, the fun challenge of getting a popular restaurant reservation before they closed at a sane hour. It wasn't all about profit then like it is now.

I make it clear to my current employer that I don't do nights and weekends. When I leave the office at 1700, I'm unemployed. My wife and children come first.

Okay, I was just reading through the landing page. Here are my thoughts:

* I'm not sure that 'self hosted' needs to be mentioned in the heading. You don't mention cloud or SaaS anywhere and have a big 'download' button so it should be obvious without stating it.

* "92five app covers all the basic project management features". Don't say your product is basic, the features should rock.

* Responsive. Yawn. Most managers don't know what this means. You don't mention 'mobile' anywhere in this section.

* Built with. This is the stuff you're interested in, and it's important but it has nothing to do with the product. Most users wouldn't care whether it's PHP, Java or Basic.

* Screenshots. Great we are past the techie bits and back to the actual product... But I don't know what I'm looking at.

* Wow, it's free! That's the best part and you mentioned it last... and in the FAQ. This should be up the top of the page!

I hope this helps.
The numbers may be off, but China and Russia likely each have at least 1 source in NSA.

By your logic, assuming that violence justifies counter-violence, the arms upgrades etc. that the police have received in the past could be portrayed as a form of violence. (If not physical, then at least psychological as a form of intimidation or similar) Therefore, the violent reactions are justified, also if they are more violent than past ones.
Great idea! Some feedback from me.

4) I like that you are using OpenStreetMap instead of Google's or Microsoft's map products.

> Every person who takes Uber ride votes for Uber and against other taxis.

Or maybe every person who takes an Uber ride has been fraudulently deceived into assuming that their ride was insured, approved by the appropriate authorities and generally safe.

> Now who is this Berlin "authority" to decide for people how they should travel from point A to point B?

It’s the appropriate authority relevant for local public transport, legitimised by general elections and bound by laws passed by the democratic institutions of the state of Berlin and the FRG.

> I don't care if Uber is from SF, Berlin or Hong Kong. They are not forcing people to pay them unlike governments that extract taxes and then tell taxpayers how they should live.

They also incentivise drivers to use their cars while not covered by any insurance, hence essentially endangering the general public. They furthermore try to appear as a legitimate and legal business while failing to meet the requirements necessary to transport persons commercially.
Actually Beeminder gets around that problem by making you quantify your goal and then defining a roadmap to reach the goal. If you go off the "yellow brick road," the penalty comes into play. It's like breaking your overall goal into a bunch of little goals, but the actual implementation is a little more subtle than that.

There is in-game support for adding translations, sort of. You just drop files into a folder and there you go. (This is in fact how our Russian and Korean translations turned up, fans had started working on them on their own, and then started emailing their work to us).

The only thing that requires a lot of heavy lifting is if that language requires a previously unsupported font (like a new Asian language), or if the new language has problems fitting in the User Interface.

As I said in the article, I would not consider fan translations a replacement for professionals so much as a supplement, although I guess this depends on the needs of your app/game. In my case we had a big story-based RPG with 45,000+ words, which is not a trivial exercise and there's all sorts of opportunities for it to go off the rails in ways that kill the sparkle (inconsistent grammar, poor or erroneous characterization, horrible translations of jokes, etc). Fans can and do produce great work, but you can't assume that's what you'll receive.

For languages you're really interested in targeting (for us our top priority was German) you don't want to roll the dice on that. But for "like to have" languages it's not a bad idea.

Indeed, for instance I bet there's a large Spanish market in the U.S.

Unfortunately, Steam doesn't really give me access to that sort of data (an oversight I hope they fix) -- they know what language people are running Steam in, there's no reason they couldn't pigeonhole the language of your player base and show you that data.
The authority deciding that is the German Transportation Law (Personenbeförderungsgesetz). In germany, cabs and cab-like services are treated as part of the public transport system, much as busses and trams and trains and subways. The license holder has certain rights, but the license also comes with certain obligations, for example the requirement to provide service to any person asking, to provide a minimum amount of service (i.e. make sure enough cabs are available) etc. Uber tries to skirt the obligations while still retaining the benefits and calls that "disruption". They get slapped down for that over and over again and then complain rather than fulfilling the obligations and then compete. If they don't like that, well, ignore the market.
Then don't. Just walk. And never use public transport again. Or roads. Or any service that gets paid by taxes and fees.
This reminds me of an article I read some years ago about the powers and pitfalls of genetic algorithms. I don't remember the details, and I'd love to find a link to it again. The main thing was that these guys were using GAs to generate circuits to perform a simple signal-processing function. They worked fine, but they were blindingly incomprehensible, the physical equivalent of undocumented spaghetti code.

One of them memorably had a wire or a resistor or something that wasn't connected to anything else in the circuit. So they removed it.

The circuit stopped working.

They put it back in.

It started working again.

The best anyone could figure was that that bit of metal was interacting electromagnetically with the rest of the circuit in some immeasurably small way that the entire thing depended upon.
> I would like, at the very least, to see a federal law forbidding more than 40 hours max

This seems like a nice sentiment but it comes across and being out of touch with the general public.

Many, people need to work more than 40 hours, pretty much anyone who works for an hourly wage that is around the minimum wage level, a week just to make ends meet. If your law is enacted you've just doomed a non negligible portion of the population to poverty.

How would you even enforce your no more than 40 hours a week? What about anyone with a small business, or a lawyer who can bill $400/hour, should he be told he can't make any more money this week?

We just ran a new gas line in our house, the plumber doing it was doing side jobs to save up for a Harley. Your law of not permitting anyone to work more than 40 hours a week seems to make the world a worse place than it is now:(

To clarify, the op said 40 hours should be the most anyone is allowed to work, no exceptions, I'm fine with a law that says no one can be force to work more than 40 hours. But limiting people to 40 hours just seems like a really bad law.

As to the email deletion, I like the idea but it seems like a nightmare from a compliance perspective:)

The biggest down side I can see is that most services only send out one out of office email. What if someone is gone for more than a few days. I"m likely to forget that they are out, or now I have to add everyone's holiday schedule and all correspondence I want them to know about, to the list of things I need to keep in my head so I can resend emails when they come back. I'm scared already:(
I agree with his general point that those notifications are just there to sell ads to page owners, not help the page owner.

That said, I don't think his allegation that the stats are fake is likely to be true. He names one stat that doesn't match up, but doesn't even say the time period he used. The notifications may be for post performance the last hour or something and he checked total post performance, for instance.

I think his post would have more weight if he just said these constant notifications trying to sell me ads are annoying and intrusive, not made up an unlikely story about fake stats.

I don't quite understand the (scary) propensity towards believing outrageous claims made by non-experts with no scientific review or consensus in many fields - especially medicine. It almost seems that people want to believe these claims. Is it a desire to know more than someone else?

Does anyone know the psychology behind it?

The insurance is not only relevant for the passenger, but also for anyone else involved in an accident with the Uber driver.

You are legally obliged in Germany to have sufficient liability insurance, and if you are driving commercially and only have a private insurance, you are usually not covered.
