If you were to promote a new web business, what steps would you take today? (assuming you could not use your celebrity)

Cable companies are terrible at getting good software on televisions. They are obsessed with control. They flirted with OCAP for years and after a decade it was all a waste.

It just seems like such a bizarre game we are required to play. I am picturing you jeering at us to "dance monkey dance".

As revolting as it is, it is a good article. Most new apps on the various app stores I suspect are reskins/duplicates of old ones.

My opinion of google improved reading this article. I equate the quality of Google's search as the inverse of the happiness of "seo gurus".

Yes but its really expensive and they have almost a monopoly on the vast quantity of data. They are the linguistic data consortium. Yearly membership fees for companies is $24000, for non profits(e.g education) is $2400 per year. Plus it

Normally yes but I am just sick of his vitriol. I wanted to call him out for a long time. Sadly it is probably my highest rated comment. He at least had the decency to delete his posts in the thread.

Tptacek, I always know exactly which threads you will post your combative, confrontational, annoying posts before I click on them. You are the drama queen of hackernews.

I read about continuum after the fellow who developed numpy left a few days ago to work on continuum. I am curious to see actual projects using continuum. So some sort of writeups.

I would guess all server side but maybe they extract features on the device to save some processing/data.

Linux always wins? I disagree! Desktop linux adoption is still in the low single percentages. I think your linking linux with democracy/capitalism is very random.

It is a terrible way of discovering it. It's the same as if they asked you a php question. You answer it, and then they say 'wrong!!!! the right answer is php sucks, in ruby I do it like so:...'

They avoid a normal conversation because then the interviewer would not be able to be achieve a master smug rating. You need to be psychic and 'get' what direction or type of response that they expect.

As a satisfied user of AppAnnie I got an email today regarding Apple locking Apple ID's of users of AppAnnie. It just requires an email reset which is not a big deal but AppAnnie seems shut down by Apple. A shame since itunes connect dat

Nothing new of value in this post. It seems a rehash of his last post.

I always found job postings by YC companies surreal. The ideology espoused by YC is to be a founder of a startup. If you are a talented engineer, why would you work for 1-2%(if your lucky) equity and less salary than google/facebook/etc.

You were not harsh. It really was a boiler plate article. The title of the post did not match what I thought the article would contain (a unique personal story). It is good feedback for the author. Don't be afraid to be honest.
