Sorry, I assumed you were the OP because you were talking about the market, etc. So I was writing in Levleframes general direction ;-)
I agree, he could succeed with the right marketing, especially with a lot of tutorials for the DIY market.

As far as a Klimt poster, it's surprising what people spend to frame posters. Ordering online is nothing new and tons of people order posters online, but people don't frame online because it's time-consuming work that takes practice and a lot can go wrong. You would be surprised how many people have a lot of difficulty using a ruler! Even professional framers. Which leads to returns & recuts for this website. Did the customer drop the frame, did the moulding warp from humidity? How do you know?

If you brought me a poster and you're not telling me you're on a budget, I'd work with you to choose frames for you and the art and depending on your level of involvement, I'd pick colors that we both agree look awesome. Often cost is the last thing discussed. Some stores, maybe you're spending more time to dial back a design to save money. It's like selling anything, what seems like a lot to me is affordable to somebody else. There are ways to save money but that's a long tangent.

Cost mostly depends on the scale, the quality of glass and your taste. Some frames are just expensive because of the labor involved, the country it's from, etc. You can also go crazy with fabric mats, stacking fillets, raising/floating elements and on and on. For prints 20" wide (just reading your website) that's going to be more affordable because you're using smaller sheets of glass and standard mats. But maybe with medium format film, those prints could be huge. Larger scale means larger glass, oversize 60" mats, shipping gets more expensive, everything is more difficult and cost goes up exponentially.

There's no typical scenario, that's why custom framing is so interesting. A microchip manufacturer could spend the same framing chip designs as the cigar bar framing ads for urinals.
I think it's still an overstatement to even say that no one would be murdered over drugs if they were legal. For example, there are gangs that specialize in things like illegal movement of cigarettes between areas where the taxes/import duties are different. While not as large as it would be were cigarettes to be completely illegal, you can't say that it will go to zero.
you're a jedi because you discovered the /proc file system? Right, OK.

I worked at MSFT and GOOG, and also joined two startups when they were ~15 people. Google and Microsoft pay well and have great perks. Startups can't really compete with that. However, at a startup 1) people tend to learn a lot more and learn it faster, 2) people are closer on a personal level, 3) people usually have a lot more impact, 4) there's much less bureaucracy, etc.

At this point, if I really needed money, I'd try to go back to Google, but if $120k was sufficient -- and it's more than sufficient for most people -- I'd prefer to work at a startup. Even if the equity is worth nothing, it can be a wonderful experience.
> Worse, it means that hiring from local good schools is a pain in the ass because the graduates are all tuned to Google or Facebook or {{latestFundedSVStartup.compPackage}}. Unless you make it clear to them in an interview that no, they aren't actually worth 80k unless they can hit the ground running, they'll just say "lol, whatevs, I'll go elsewehre".

No offense, but as someone who basically pulled aside and told I was asking for too much money before...I suspect you are dismissing it out of hand when the reality is a significant fraction of them can.

Admittedly, I'm not a new grad from a college but I've consistently seen the employer/interview side of the table think they can hire me for less than what I make currently and/or stand a reasonable chance of making in the near future. I'm like "Umm. No?".
There are strong rumours going around of Yahoo either being acquired by Alibaba or Softbank.

By picking up a share of a very trendy and popular mobile service like Snapchat, this is just more confirmation that they're aiming to be acquired by Softbank. It might have almost nothing at all to do with Snapchat as a business.

There has been a long and storied tradition of smuggling in the Americas going back to before the founding of the republic (John Hancock, president of the first Congress, was a notorious smuggler in his day). Here are some examples that always make me smile:

A letter from British Customs official writing a complaint home on the nature of his work:

"In this country an officer of the customs ought to see his way very clear before he ventures to make a seizure. Because he sure of having every possible difficulty thrown in his way. He is looked upon as an enemy to the community and treated accordingly. And whether he succeeds or not, he is sure never to be forgiven, and thinks himself fortunate if his punishment is deferred to a future day." [1]

Joseph Harrison, collector for the port of Boston:

"Large quantities of dutiable goods have been smuggled in a most audacious manner. But publicly known and talked of, such is the temper of the times that no legal information could be obtained so as to prosecute or make any seizure of them. "

And finally a letter from the owner of a small smuggling vessel to the Captain of the Speed Well, a government ship that had confiscated his ship, taken his goods and seized his men.

"Sir: Damn thee and God damn thy two purblind eyes thou bugger, thou death-looking son of a bitch. O, that I had been there (with my company) for thy sake when thou tookest them men of mine on board the Speedwell cutter on Monday, the 14th of December. I would drove thee and thy gang to Hell where thou belongest, thou Devil incarnet. Go down, thou Hell Hound, unto they kennel below and bathe thyself in that sulphurous lake that has been so long prepared for such as thee, for it is time the world was rid of such a monster. Thou art no man but a devil, thou fiend. O Lucifer, I hope thou will soon fall into Hell like a star from the sky, there to lie unpitied and unrelented of any for ever and ever, which God grant of his infinite mercy. Amen."[2]

Right now there's 2 options.

Either the manufacturers load it onto the car when its built or you can buy the standalone system itself. Apple has partnered with car manufacturers like Honda, Ford and Kia and select models will likely come with it.

Pioneer recently came out with their own standalone system with CarPlay which you could install yourself.

It would be interesting to see if they give you the options of choosing what system you want when you initially purchase your car. CarPlay vs AndroidAuto vs Other ones.

A fire extinguisher and a first aid kit in your car might be more useful.

This analysis is not hard to do for a specific job. If you're looking at a job at a 10-person startup in LA, go to AngelList and look up job postings at 5-10 other LA startups that are a similar size. You'll get a great sense of what a typical offer looks like, and then you can compare that to your own offer.

We've had pretty nice results with Cloud66. Technically it's different: Dokku/Heroku use containers, Cloud66 uses full cloud instances. However, most using Heroku think of it as a simplified deployment mechanism, not really worrying about the underlying engineering details.
Always happy to see updates on this project. I waffled for a long time about backing this project, but ended up not doing so mainly because the time wasn't right for myself. I'll probably pick one up in a future revision, although if they shipped one cheaper than the heirloom but with a keyboard built in I'm definitely in.
> I suspect this is a small demographic - chances are startups don't want to hire people that wouldn't make it through a Google/MSFT/Facebook tech-screen.

I basically told a #LargeCorp to fuck off, politely, when they told me they wanted to do a tech screen during business hours [which would mean taking PTO off for it].

I've never had that issue with startups and/or small companies. They've been willing to cooperate and start things off at 4pm.

I highly suspect I'm not the only person that isn't willing to take time off "for the chance to work at #LargeCorp".
A pipeline is pretty much the complete opposite of what you'd want to ship discrete goods. Pipelines work well for fluids because they're a homogenous liquid that have to be loaded and unloaded in discrete chunks to ship by train. With discrete goods on the other hand, the whole virtue of containers is that their content don't need to be loaded or unloaded to be inserted into a transportation system. And if a "pipeline" could take an entire preloaded container in some form? Well, we're back to something that looks and acts basically like a high-speed train.
This reminds me of Timecube.

Well, depends on what you mean by manual - most landline phones now can be hooked up without even a frame man having to run jumpers, or for that matter a field service visit, customer enters the provisioning information (service address, billing information, puts a credit card in) and the service is turned up.

Optimal is subjective.

If both the company and employee are happy with (and agree to) the employment terms, then it's as optimal as it needs to be.

Saying it should be a different type of optimal introduces Hume's guillotine.
Hey, thanks! I was about to start fishing for the data myself, I thought it might come from some API. Definitely some interesting insights, particularly from your previous submission on the same topic (which sadly didn't make front page), that shows the declining popularity of PHP among startups. Definitely going to slice the data myself, thanks!

911 for mobile is hard. Just routing to the right PSAP is tough. In the early days of cellular, California originally routed all cellular 911 calls to the California Highway Patrol, on the grounds that someone was probably calling from a car. The CHP ended up running a sizable call center to redirect emergency calls.

Only recently did most phones have GPS capability. Picking the PSAP based on cell tower gets you to roughly the right place, but PSAPs have to have really good handoff capability to nearby jurisdictions, and some of them don't.

All this is a separate issue from calling 911 and not getting any answer. That's a serious carrier failure and should be treated as such.

which is to say there doesn't seem to be a conflict.
BBC Radio Four programme "voices from the old bailey" had an episode about smuggling.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04d4sbs

The BBC website also gives instructions on navigating the Old Bailey Online website.
Me too :-)

Love that story.
The system is built to tolerate 25 people calling in the same accident on the interstate or 100s of people calling in a plane crash. Last specs I heard around '10 was about a half million calls per day country wide. There are about 25 million small businesses in the country (accurate to only about one sig fig). If you assume a business tests a new phone system once per decade and there are about 10K days in a decade (close enough not to matter) then there will be about 2500 test calls per day out of 500000 total calls or basically its a rounding error.

Now on the other hand, don't be a jerk. They're busy at certain times of day and they kinda expect people to make test calls during relatively boring business hours but not during rush hour or at bar close time. Don't be making test calls while a hurricane is hitting the city or while a t-storm is passing thru or a presidential visit or wildfires are kinda nearby, etc.

I've done this helping out as part of PBX installs (admittedly a long time ago) and just be calm and clear and polite when verifying the address routing and remember to say "thanks" and its not a big deal.

>The whole population of Gaza does not have to suffer

How would you handle neighbors from a densely populated village throwing rockets into your backyard?
That makes more sense, yes :-D - 911 routing issues were always vexing, usually it was a to the wrong PSAP.
I nearly escaped a terrorist attack that sent 20 soldiers to the hospital in Jerusalem in 2008 when I purchased a candy bar at the last moment. I was in Israel during "Cast Lead", Israel's 2008 incursion into Gaza. I also know someone whose pregnant wife was killed when a Hamas terrorist bombed a Jerusalem family restaurant that I had earlier attended.

The article states that Israeli initiated a blockade of Gaza when Hamas won the election and that building materials and people are unable to enter or leave Gaza as a result. This is an incorrect statement because Israel does not surround Gaza, rather its border to the West is with Egypt which also closed their border, the Rafah Junction. In fact, the current President of Egypt, Sisi really hates Hamas (Hamas is the Gaza branch of The Muslim Brotherhood). The Muslim Brotherhood and other forms of militant Islam are threats of stability to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other Arab countries. Both Egypt and Saudi Arabia were very supportive of Israel attacking Gaza in the recent conflict.
President Sisi worked very hard to close the illegal tunnels between Gaza and Egypt.

The cause of the suffering in Gaza is that Hamas shoots missiles into Israel. Those missiles and other war goods and concrete for making tunnels into Israel were smuggled through underground tunnels between Egypt and Gaza. Thus, the key to the safety of Gazan civilians is the closing of those tunnels and the demilitarization of Gaza/Hamas. Since Hamas took over Gaza in 2006, they have been shooting missiles into Israel, yet neither the US or other members of the International Community had until recently worked with Egypt to close those tunnels.

We all feel terrible that innocent civilians in Gaza are being killed (just as innocent civilians in Germany and Japan were killed in WW II). Ultimately, the people who elected Hamas (just as those Germans who decided to follow Hitler) are ultimately responsible for the deaths of their fellow civilians.

CarPlay is one feature of the Pioneer receivers. The units are still fully functional navigation / stereo systems even without an iPhone.
I see that way as well.
Good to see I am not alone.
Having worked in kitchens, it's great to see this. Wish more start-ups would focus on solving real world problems.
No, they were not.

Society was different, laws were different, both Wall Street and Washington did eat a much smaller share of the US GDP.

You can't even extent your observation to the rest of the world, because almost the entire world passed through the same transformation at about the same time.
I'd argue that the results we are seeing are more features for the same development cost.

Fantastic project and response time. Congrats on this.
You're more or less right.

I used to work for a fairly large hotel chain that would charge ridiculous amounts for internet. Thinking back it wasn't too ridiculous (certainly not 10k for 3 days as someone said above) but it was still a high price.

The only people to really use the service were business people, and they'd always charge it back to their companies.

The WiFi itself was merely a luxury we offered to encourage business people to stay in the properties because "WiFi available" made for better advertisements.
You think it's wise to combat a SUV's worth of fuel with a fire extinguisher that fits in your car, on the side of the road? You think that a first aid kit was going to do anything more than what you could do with your bare hands or a t-shirt for an unconscious, self-pissing trauma victim?

Hopefully as you age and move out of your sheltered life experiences you can realize that trolling gets old after awhile.

I don't plan on rewriting my Rails apps, but the talk is certainly food for thought. At the very least this is a nice explanation of Ruby metaprogramming techniques; pair it with Paolo Perrotta's "Metaprogramming Ruby" and you'll have a good handle on the subject.

It seems like the question is talking about large, zero-revenue startups. Ecomom definitely doesn't fit here, since they were collecting over $1M/month in gross revenues. Of course, they were discounting so much that each order had a negative margin, but that is a different story.

I think the most dramatic example of this (other than WhatsApp) is Snapchat.

Ask HN: How to manage early-stage bizdev negotiations?
I have been bootstrapping a project for a couple of years now; for present purposes, we can call it SaaS for a specialized domain, but one where there are a number of high-value potential customers, as well as a large number of smaller customers. I'm at MVP if not a bit more, and an starting to take on some "shakedown" users in preparation for a private beta.

Thus far, I've been building the whole thing myself, but I'm now at the point where this is no longer viable: if this is going to be real, I need to get some funding to support both technical and business development, and I need to get contacts among those high-value customers, neither of which I have at the moment. However, I've met a bizdev guy who knows the industry the project is targeted towards, who gets the idea behind the project, and sees the potential value in it. We've begun a discussion about how he might get involved to (at least as a start) make some connections with some of those high-value customers and bring in some seed funding or collaborators. In particular, there is a major trade show coming up in about a month that would be an excellent place to pitch to some of these folks, assuming that he and I could work out a deal to get him involved.

So, finally, the question: what's the best way for me to manage this dance? We've had some loose talk about buying his time by the month, week, or hour, with some tradeoff between cash and equity, towards the goal of building a pitch and taking it to the trade show. I have some cash I can put into this, but not an infinite amount. I currently hold all the equity in the project; I certainly get the point that X% of something is better than 100% of nothing, but I don't want to give away the farm, either, especially at this very early stage. In any case, there are clearly people on this list that know WAY more about this sort of thing than I do; would any of them care to offer some advice? I really don't want to screw this thing up; thanks!
This looks like an opportunity for an app. Your phone has GPS and a better idea of where you are than the cell network. What if you could open a 911 app, tick a few check boxes (Is this a medical emergency? violent situation? Do you require an ambulance, fire truck, and/or police?), and it would post your GPS coordinates and your cell number. The local dispatch office would than automatically call you and hook you up with a dispatcher who gets the details.
Been there as well. I call it being clever with your test suites.
Figuring out a way to hack your test suites so you can write as little code as you can. Except your test suite ends up unreadable because of all the magic you made for... DRY.
According to an article in the british medical journal ,nalmefene in alcohol misuse is bad medicine. I haven't got access but that's the replies to the article, by doctors:

http://www.bmj.com/content/348/bmj.g1531/rapid-responses

Another place is a the most recent review of alcohol dependency drugs:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24825644

There's only medium evidence for nalmefene use, and the results speak of an average reduction of 2 days of heavy drinking per month and average reduction of 1 drink per day. Not that big.
If you want to see just how irrelevant E-Commerce is, just look at your neighborhood Apple Store. Their products are the sort that could easily be purchased online -- commodity technology products aimed at the supposedly tech savvy.

The only visible effect of e-commerce has been the thinning of margins. The ability to check prices online leveled the playing field between retailers and customers. This has brought us closer to a real market -- one where perfect information is available to all parties.
The plane's future position can be accurately estimated as soon as it spools-up on the runway. So the drones wouldn't need to catch up, just fly up to intercept. To ensure turbine destruction, the drones could have a payload of ceramic ball bearings, explosives, or both.

A passenger plane taking off is going to have a hard time seeing (let alone avoiding) such small, maneuverable craft.

Of course, this is a movie plot threat. Really, nobody is going to spend the time and resources to program drones like that.
Yup, that didn't take long to become an issue!
it depends on speed. Before some speed - increase which diminishes with increasing speed and going into the loss after that. So the best is for static thrust - VTOL/hover mode. The other commenter gave the explanation i think i was asking about.
It was several years ago, I'm assuming the market has only strengthened.
