I went to one of their meetups about this but am just lost/uninspired as to what compelling story can be pulled from this data-set. It's just federal spending amounts broken down by very general categories and organizations which - without

I like the idea of algorithmic logos/identities - concepts that aren't specific logos per se but instead provide a set of guidelines through which one's generated.

Not valid at all, except that I know some people in that situation like to purposely ask jarring questions to see how one will respond to pressure. It may or may not have been condescending.

Ditto. This article's so well written; so much meat and actual, rigourous dissection of a problem and it's landscape. Super applicable to the idea i'll be submitting to YC o:) This is spot on what I most needed to read right now. I've had e

This doesn't apply to all such people but non-technical startup founders - unless the idea is very much -non- technical - don't garner any sympathy from me. My opinion is mostly based on having worked with, but mostly just for, some types w

This'd probably make a good movie. It's like Wargames meets Real Genius. Haha

Slick production value. Wonder who made the video for them.

If you don't have the guts to stand by your opinion, how are we to take it (or you) seriously? I may have to look at them with a suspicious eye, but my opinion of you - whoever you are - has probably taken a greater hit.

"six monitors and an interactive 3d OS" - LoL! Password Swordfish, anyone? I know some of the apple products -can- send video through the headphone jack, so that's not why I don't believe. I also know there are a lot of interesting public-s

This book covers all these tenets in greater detail and in more interesting ways: http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Language-Designers-Principles-U... It would behoove anyone interested in this post to "cop that"

There's a terribly large number of parallels between video-game design (teams) from years ago and the way certain contemporary technical yet creative projects could run. I wish there were articles like this written by members of Sonic Team.

Big-O...one of those things I never managed (or cared?) to pickup regardless of how many times it'd been drummed into me in school. Any article that explains it in an approachable way is fine by me.

Wow...you....sound like such a graphic design hater. haha

Interesting way of looking at it - the startup -is- the prototype. Then against I suppose that's why they're called startups. If they had longevity then the name would be misleading. haha

Never even knew there was such an incubator in my city. This list of mentors local to the NYC area is intense.

I disagree with -you-, sometimes even coders can buy into hype. If you play up someone's ego and idolize them, they'll just continue to do things like not document their code or - as wulzcer put it [save an extra two lines but cost the next

They take a similar approach in this post here, geared towards actionscript: http://www.as3dp.com/2010/05/11/actionscript-3-0-skip-lists-... Adv. knowledge of data-structures is definitely one of the hallmarks of a powerful developer.

I thought I was with you but I was just made a little more confused by that comment :\ I've yet to do a lot with Git, but your post has made me a lot more interested. After wikipediaing the features, I'm starting to see how one could save a

Having the wiki paradigm in mind, it didn't occur to me that one -would- use their preferred text-editor, but that's maybe a big benefit right there. What if it were a desktop app running in the background that monitors these text files and

There's a reasonable solution out there somewhere for protecting people's intellectual software property, but the patent office - like most government organizations - is severely behind the times. Although it -is- terribly nice to see the P

This guy actually just blew my mind with the StopHop comment - I really had no idea and feel I should've heard or read something about it. This resonates with me but was too open-ended. It really is just a social problem stemming from diffe

I'm in the same boat on this one. I got an Erlang book, read up everything I could on the -background- of the language (It's older than Java!) Got all mushy over the features and the promise of potential 99.99 uptime or whatever the statist

Ditto on the java-applet comments - I was shocked. Haha. In all seriousness, though, people have mentioned this before but I don't think anyone's really tackled any underpinning reason why an IDE should be in "the cloud" (::cringe:: yea, I

Yea that seems like a pretty powerful concept in particular. I wonder, though, if people'd really care about the ability to edit something offline when they could just go with some wiki that has private restrictions on it. I do, however, re
