Derek Webb (article author) has been pushing alternative distribution for music for a long time... well before it was popular. Take a look at his most recent album's store: http://derekwebb.com/store/feedback Different options for differe

Of course, when we're talking cost, you'll most likely have the Scarlet on a support system, so it's an easy matter to add a Ki Pro Mini on the back, attach with HD-SDI, and record ProRes 422 (at 1080p) onto CF cards at a wide variety of bi

Really clever, especially when you consider this isn't at all connected to their main business (except for a little link to running shoes). I wonder if this was someone's 20% time...

Michael Ellsburg (the author) also just posted this article ( http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2011/09/29/8-steps-to-g... ) which is somewhat related, and an excellent read.

Question: Why does the 'tastemaker' have to be CEO? A traditional CEO's role is to provide vision for the company, sure, but Cook clearly knows he's not Jony Ive, and I'm sure is willing to keep people like Ive around to make those 'tastema

This. Is one of the things I love about HN. When you can write a critique of a product, and hear from someone directly involved in it, that's a fantastic thing. When they're a fellow-HN reader, even better.

If nothing else, I think reputation is a key part of that. I know I'll look at a non-chain's restaurant's website first and if it's terrible, I seriously might not go. Especially if it's not mobile-compatible.

So, the question is, how do we show the restaurant owners that having a better website will increase their revenue?

On the topic of government 'spin' in social media, I highly recommend the book The Net Delusion by Evgeny Morozov. He goes into detail on how different government organizations censor or spin different types of media, and how the viewpoint

Um, I might be missing this, but I don't think we're interpreting this correctly. The contract title is Social Media in Strategic Communication, which implies that they're looking at integrating social into their military communications, no

It is a big leap for a company... Does anyone know where I could find resources (case studies, testimonials, etc) to promote remote work? 'Hard' data would certainly help convince the boss. Stories like this are great, but they'll need more

The short answer is no. The longer answer is it really depends on the band and the venue. (IMHO) Smaller independent bands especially like to put big speaker sets and amps on their riders, even ridiculous things like 2 line arrays for a 200

Fred Wilson (from Union Square Ventures) has mentioned them twice in the past few months... I guess they've been talking. http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/06/globalization-continued.html http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/06/to-science-and-art.htm

Well, this certainly drags AirBnb into the eBay and PayPal sized fraud prevention industry... and I wonder how this will affect the vibe of the website. Certainly, AirBnB will survive this ordeal, and gain more name recognition from this ev

That could be a really fun trend... start attaching mannequins and cardboard cutouts to random street signs and light poles as close to the road as possible and see when the Toyota reacts.

Based on the assumption that the person rating your credibility isn't at BIGCO, but at somewhere else in/near the startup sphere.

And he's even near/in a city! Imagine this scenario playing out somewhere where even less options exist, like a rural town in the midwest... you get cut off, you can switch to what? Dial-up?

This, of course, is making a big assumption: that the difficulty factor will stay the same. It has consistently increased, making earning those bitcoins significantly more difficult. Break-even for me occured at about 75 days for my 5850's,

TL;DR - Expensive cards run faster, ATI/AMD > Nvidia for mining, Radeon 5830 most efficient in their testing. It's a pity this article didn't look at a few other cards which would have been very competitive, namely the Radeon 5850's and

I would suggest that Twitter is a 'short form blog', albeit in a very short form. Of course, you could certainly use it as not-a-blog, but you could also use tumblr as not-a-blog if you liked.

This. Is exactly how it works. A first-time startup gets worse terms then an established entrepreneur, right? A first-time band is the same way. You do well with your first venture, you get better terms the next time. The indie film industr
