Anyone working at Yahoo or Tumblr think that 100 Million in revenue for Tumblr in 2015 sounds right?
You can let users play around with your paid app to see if it works as expected. Certainly cleaner than messing with In-App-Purchases or a separate "Lite" version of your app.

I've heard in one episode of the Core Intuition podcast that Panic has actually spent some time polishing a simulator build of Transmit(?) for iOS, for use with app.io (a service which did the same thing as the OP until they pivoted). This is something I'd also love to do if this business promises to survive longer than app.io did.

This is especially interesting if you are an iOS freelancer who wants to show off their work, without clients having to create accounts etc. :)
She says the marketing team was filled with a bunch of "white guys". I don't see what the issue is.
They've been virtually entirely replaced by digital systems. I graduated from law school a few years ago and we were not taught to use a book-based system to do research.
Some much older attorneys use books, but they hardly ever do research anyway, since they have young guns to do it.
I was thinking in the opposite direction, that maybe sugar is responsible but the effect is triggered/compounded by the bubbles [or C02 or carbonic acid] in some way?

There's a joke in here about muddy waters [a cocktail made variously with coke and OJ] somewhere ...
Any employee of theirs who is reading this should just call the NY DOL and ask. Even if they don't work there any more. They might get a nice check from Handy's. It doesn't matter which employee calls in; if they do an audit, all employees who were underpaid will get payments.

> Nobody says "american guy"

Yes they do. All the time. Well, probably not in America, cause that would be stupid (I doubt they say "Indian guy" in India for the same reason) but I've certainly heard it in the UK and Ireland. I've no reason to believe it's isolated to those countries.

Edit: I feel I should now say something about "Family Dad", but I'm not sure that's right...
In that case, what would be the key difference between a clean term vs a messy one? How would a first time founder tell the difference?

Latex is very easy to start with. Just learning a dozen commands will allow you to create many documents. What is a pain is customization, but remember that Latex was created so that only experienced designers would be required to customize a document style.
As an interesting side anecdote, I just spent the last 6 months living in Kenya with the same kind of Harvard / McKinsey style crowd except in the social enterprise / NGO space.

As someone who was coming from a very different background to a lot of these people, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.

While I would be the first to admit that things are less than perfect in a number of ways, generally speaking the people I met and eventually ended up consulting for couldn't possibly be much further from some of the personalities described in a number of the comments here.

Overall I was super impressed with the humility, the intelligence and the general standard that I saw in a lot of these people.

Then again, there is a world of difference between someone who chooses to live on next to nothing in a 3rd world country where they are there primarily to help others and the types described in the article.
The eye is not focusing on that depth. The light coming out of the lens or LCD would be collimated / diffracted to form an image on the retina that appears to originate from a specific distance (or in this case, many different distances, multiplexed together).

Just like with Google Glass, where the image appears to be at a distance and your eyes do not focus on the actual screen.

cool idea, but the reddit thread appears to be populated with complaints that it's barely functional
I suspect that the idea that harassment is never about desire is more like a "correct narrative" than an unassailable truth. people find it very convenient to reduce every situation to a set of accepted rules but humanity tends to be messy and resistant to strict classification.
iOS7/8 only. Oh well.
I usually think of Filinski's Declarative Continuations and Categorical Duality... but it's such a dense paper I can't recommend it offhand.
Google deserves plenty of credit for Scholar. It's the best public legal research system out there.

Let's not pretend, though, that Google Scholar has "set free" court opinions or offers "open access." You're trapped in Google's ecosystem. You can't download opinions in bulk for any reason, whether it's legal practice or academic analysis. You certainly can't build your own legal research system.

The best "open access" resource I've found, oddly enough, is bulk XML from a Stanford grad student. It includes over 10 million documents in a fairly standard format.

> A straightforward wrinkle to add to Smith is that unlike the plain text call information in Smith, an encrypted Skype call or encrypted cloud storage account is something people can have a reasonable expectation of privacy in.

You're just hitting the heart of why Smith is broken. The content of a traditional phone call isn't encrypted but Smith still doesn't allow the government to record it without a warrant just because the call is transmitted via third party equipment, am I right? The issue is the metadata. But encrypting the call doesn't hide the metadata which is still needed in order to route the call.

Verizon Wireless knows where you are 24 hours a day, Facebook knows who all of your friends are and when and how often you communicate with each of them and Amazon knows everything you buy and what books you read. Encrypting the content of messages changes none of that. You're already paying money to Verizon and Amazon rather than viewing ads, it doesn't stop them from storing the metadata.

My startup name generator[1] does something very similar. Instead of adjectives and critters it uses tech and culinary terms. Here's the first 5 it came up with:

Man, I wish I had this (and cellphones) in high school. Would have made cheating so much easier!
There's a difference between "Don't overnegotiate" (or "Don't jeopardise a deal in an attempt to raise your valuation by a small percentage") and "Don't sweat the terms."

There are some seriously unscrupulous investors out there. If any terms give you cause for concern, get second, third and fourth opinions from independents.
That has shown to be overblown rubbish time and time again over the past month.
https://www.loggur.com is like Firebase on steroids, though only launched a few weeks ago. There is a lot to come: first thing being proper documentation for the REST API behind Loggur (should developers prefer to talk directly to it), and then hopefully huge strides in usability. But we need tons of feedback for the latter!
A while back I created a startup name generator by fusing tech and culinary terms together. I also set it up to check if the .com is available. It gets a decent amount of traffic and a few domains purchased every once in a while.

Check it out: http://montanaflynn.me/lab/startup-name-generator/
I suspected that this is true, thanks for confirming.
I think "strong rent control" is the uncontroversial phrasing.
I don't think it's entirely fair to say that female participation has dropped since 1985. The raw number of women has not, in fact, dropped. In fact it has risen, it just hasn't risen as fast as male participation.
In what circumstance would you want to poison an entire stream of fish? Would the fish be edible after being poisoned? Or is this for another purpose?
Not an overly informative. I'm assuming they got a pre-prod device since they haven't done any conclusive tests with it.
Huh. Here I was thinking if you haven't founded your startup at 21, you might as well give up on your dreams.
I had access to either an Alto or a Dorado during my co-op terms at Environment Canada (the weather service) back in the late 80s. I had a keen interest in OO at the time, but I can't remember this machine having a Smalltalk. Whenever I was able to access it, I spent time amusing myself hacking LOOPS (pre-cursor to CLOS - OO Lisp).

I also had access to a Mac, had an HP-9000 unix workstation (running X Windows) sitting on/under my desk, and had some exposure to Smalltalk-80 at the time. What blew me away was how mature and strange the Alto was; it was so obviously advanced, but was so difficult to understand. At that time, it was an 'old' machine, but somehow seemed like it was sent from the future.

It may be unfolding or unraveling, but this valueless "article" is virtually content free.
Yea, but maybe the causation works both ways. There's a lot we don't know about hormones. They're causes and effects of brain activity, and they probably influence muscle and fat on the face. Aggressive men have a certain "look" in the face, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is caused by lots of testosterone.

Edit: Or some people smile or laugh or frown or look intensely more than others.
Snowwrestlers point is interesting, why is a warrant needed for a phone tap? You are clearly enlisting a 3rd parties help, and I think the general public knows that their phone company can listen in on their calls... People are clearly sharing the content of the call as much as the number with the Telco. It seems odd that there are 2 standards here, particularly as it's the same transaction.
That stuff is handled at the application level a data store should just be there to store and retrieve data, I think databases used to need to do a lot more than they do now. I thought Postgres required one to include a module in order to gain array support.

Looking into it again now it seems I was confusing Arrays for Hashes, with regard to the hStore extension.

The application is in charge of what data goes into the database. It is performing sanitisation, validation, returning errors, all of that before persisting data. I don't want to have to deal with errors from the database nor do I want to have to manage data integrity from two separate locations.

I want to be able to tell the database to store something and it stores it modern development frameworks can handle data integrity stuff.
At least one school--The Highland School in West Virginia--also boards students. So Summerhill is not the "only boarding school of its type in the world."
Yeah, the new chemistry sets are much safer. Bleh.
Thanks. Look interesting.
Emotional Engagement – Designing with the heart in mind
That is really slick.
I've landed two excellent positions through outside (not in-house) recruiters. Though the first was 20 years ago; the last, 14. They were respectful, didn't waste my time or the company's, knowledgeable, and selected people based upon experience or qualified reference (the first position, they contacted the head of a user group who knew me well and referred me; then experience counted).

The experience I've had with outside recruiters in the past 10 years is atrocious, though. All they're looking for is warm bodies to toss at a company, and hope one of them sticks. No or limited experience--they still want to present you...after modifying the resume you've sent them in Word.

Today's outside recruiters are inexperienced in and ignorant of the field ("Your last job was a fitness trainer??"), and borderline unethical.

I'm still surprised so many of them are in business.
I don't think that school of thought is actually prevelant. They make you go to training classes so if there is a lawsuit they can point to all the training and say it's the individual's fault, not the company's.

The Success of Firebase: An Outsider's Perspective
Thanks, I've had a few people tell me it relieved a bunch of stress from choosing the perfect name. I plan to extend it with different term groups (space, sports, etc...) so you can fine tune the results to your specific startup industry.

I'm also proud of the way I implemented[1] the Domainr API[2] to check for domain availability. Previously I checked it in the backend but it made things very slow so now the backend generates the domains and the client lazily checks the availability.

Put her in a class and don't give her a choice. Tell her if she doesn't enjoy it, you won't send her next year. So far, I have sent my daughter to:

- Debate
- Computer programming
- Cooking
- Soccer
- Skating
- Hockey (upcoming)
- Fashion design

The only one she didn't enjoy was cooking so I didn't send her back. But she does ask me for more girly stuff though I don't know what that looks like :(
How many bits of entropy do your keys have?
Has "acquired" become a dirty word lately? I read the announcements on both the Firebase and Google Cloud pages, and it wasn't even clear to me that Google had purchased the company (or a controlling interest, or whatever has happened). The message is simply that Firebase "joined the Google Cloud platform".

Lately, Google has been rolling out one-click installs for Redis, Cassandra, RabbitMQ, etc. I had to read comments on HN to understand that this is a financial integration rather than merely a technical one. What strange and evasive messaging... why not just announce that the company has been purchased?
> No? This seems like a pretty bizarre question. People eat what they like.

While I generally agree, let's not discount the power of marketing, advertising and subliminal messaging.
When I was at school I had one of these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_3

And got in trouble for writing programs in OPL to solve math problems.

I reckon I deserved extra credit for initiative. The experience of learning to program has certainly turned out to be ultimately more useful than learning to do math without a calculator.

(Not that I think that learning to do math without a calculator is useless, mind you.)

If you want to add realtime to an existing project that already has a database, then I suggest checking out Fanout ( https://fanout.io/ ). We intentionally don't want to own your whole stack, and we've opened our code and protocols so that you're never trapped. Would love to get your feedback.
I'm counting on it :D
You don't have to look up how to use regex if you know how to use regex. If you just learn how to use the tool already--which isn't very hard, the syntax is quite limited and the salient points are nearly universal between all regex engines--then the stuff isn't "complex". It's as complex as C or Javascript or Scheme was on your first day of learning it. Less so, because there is less to learn.

The example is arbitrary. The point is, sometimes you end up writing repetitive code. Yes, even in functional languages.
Yam, jam and sweet potatoes are three different things. See for example: http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookvegetables/a/sweetp...
The ages can be:

3 + 3 + 4 = 10
1 + 4 + 9 = 14
2 + 2 + 9 = 13
1 + 6 + 6 = 13

If the sum is 10 or 14, B would have had enough information for the answer at once. So the sum should be 13.

And "oldest kid" is not "oldest kids", so 2, 2, 9 is the answer.

I'd say thats probably true, but likely has more to do with training than diet.

I would do intervals of walking/running while pushing my son in his stroller and have no problem with it, even while quite overweight and never being a runner. I shocked myself the first time I did 3 miles without really thinking about it or feeling very winded.

Thanks for the counter-anecdote. I've met so many people who start the conversation off with a credential drop and then turn out to be useless oxygen thieves that I forget that there really are some smart dedicated people out there with the same kinds of top-tier credentials as attributes who do good work.

bad Bane, stereotyping is bad!
I used some super simple graph theory recently to write a Java tool that spit out data from multiple tables on a database into SQL files, with statements in the right order so that foreign key relationships were preserved. And this was for a CRUD-ish web app.
Getting to this late, but if I hear you right, generating a set of hypotheses was exactly what I was trying for with the parity. If you see a, say, 6-word input where the parity doesn't work out, you "erase" each of the six words and replace it with the parity of the other words, and check if the result is the user's password. It'd mean the user(/attacker) could make you do a 6 hash checks each time they tried to log in, so it'd cost you ~13 bits of security not just 10.

And, yes, min-entropy is a really helpful concept here. Captures well that nobody's password is a good crypto key, but at the same time it deals with the attacks trying the really common overused passwords on a lot of accounts.

Very cool that you could tolerate 2 errs/3 erasures and still have 60 bits with ECC if you trade off ordering. ECC and coding theory is one of those areas where I wish I had slightly more CS education so I could do more than just gawk at its power.
I have yet to see an app support trigonometry. Is recognizing graphs too hard?
Depending on the rate of change as well, power lines can induce a substantial voltage if the field changes too rapidly as well.
This might be dependent on the person as well. I know that when I stopped drinking soda 2 years ago, I got cravings for about 9 months afterwards.

When I quit smoking 6 years ago, I did not have any cravings. I realize that this is anecdotal and goes against the experience of most people.
Any recommendations as to reputable code escrow services? I'd imagine there are some misbehaving players out there.
The digital systems are direct continuations of the paper ones. For example, federal court opinions are published on a court's website in PDF form. West Publishing collects them and prints bound volumes of the Federal Reporter. In parallel, it pulls the text of the opinions into the Westlaw online service, and incorporates the pagination of the printed versions by embedding starred page numbers into the text.

Also, West still categorizes the digital system using the index developed for paper cases. Using this index is usually faster than using search queries. In fact, search really doesn't work very well for legal research, and Google-like free form search works particularly badly (it tends to take you to highly-cited cases rather than highly-relevant ones). I generally start my research by looking up the topic in the digital version of a printed treatise or legal encyclopedia and then doing a reverse citation search of the listed cases. Failing that, I'll do low-level search queries (e.g., "foo" within N words of "bar").

But the only time I ever actually used a book was when I was working for a judge. Every now and then West screws up and the pagination differs between the digital and printed versions of the Federal Reporter. So we'd do our final cite-check using the printed volumes.
Maybe I'm crazy/misremembering. But other than the "we're focussed on polishing it first" I thought I also read something reaffirming an interest (not from Apple officially but from one of the devs) to open source. And the LLVM mailing list post also contains a pretty clear "a lot of us really want to open source this" statement. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding: I didn't mean to imply that Apple expressed "an interest" as in "officially announced an interest". That would be very un-Apple-like. They tend to either do or don't. What I meant is that voices out of the project said they'd like to open-source. Which at that level (compiler/low-level) seems to suggest that it's likely. Given Apple's track record in that area / on that level.

Sign of the end for the startup economy imho - I remember during the first dot com bubble that when the consultants/MBAs starting doing startups (broadly) it was time to pack it up. Not that all MBAs or consultants are bad - but it isn't a good sign. Like a great party that has been discovered by the assh*les. I hope I'm wrong, but man, it feels familiar.
I'm not sure a name has that much of an impact on a business's success. I posted this comment in another thread recently: The word "Target" doesn't really carry any signal about what that company actually does. Ask yourself, in Target's infancy, did the name hurt or help them? I'd guess it had very little to do with their eventual outcome.
>Expressing Nazi ideas can lead to violence, extremism, racial and religious discrimination, anti-democratic activity among other things.

I didn't say Nazi ideas were banned because of this, I said they were banned because of what _following_ them can lead to. For contrast, compare an idea like "group X treats women like second-class citizen". Following this idea does no harm, it doesn't even do anything, as it's not a prescription that can be followed, it's just a statement. Expressing it could however still lead to a violence if group X is aggressive and conflict-minded. If expressing this idea is banned, then public discussion of the poor treatment of women by group x would be banned, and there wouldn't be any pressure for group x to improve its treatment of them.
