From the investor perspective, the company is the product. Not the company's product.

Everpix, from a user perspective is a great product. So says this paying customer.

Well in defense of that - it's easy to underestimate the value of a good, creative, productive workspace.

Wow. What an interesting example of what's wrong with the venture capital model. A great product dies because the founders "spent too much time on the product".

I hope a 9th inning miracle saves the day. If not, thanks for the great product.

I'm almost fifty and I feel like I'm just hitting my stride. But then I felt that as I approached 30 and 40 too.

So yeah, you might not see it while in your 20s but nothing feels better than the combination of intelligence and experience. That is, the result of learning how to learn.

Just quit. Tomorrow. Life is too short to waste time on crap corporate politics and the culture of failure.

Frankly, it's probably not worth the time it would take to do a brain dump to upper management, HR or any potentially interested party. I wouldn't volunteer anything unless someone who seemed genuinely interested asked.

After reading the lkml archives I find it hard not to conclude that Linus has done his best and it's time for him to step down. Linux is just too important to have such lousy leadership.

Nice perspective from outside the USA USA USA bubble.

We're mostly in agreement. Government makes demand for money by requiring that debts payable to the government are only in that money.

If said rocks on the bottom of the sea were the only way to pay taxes, you bet they'd be considered valuable.

Without that primary demand, everything else is consumer whim. Perception only lasts so long but taxes are persistent.

Lawyer time. And accountant time. Check out NOLO Press for some of the best readable information (aka books) on starting a business in California.

BitCoin isn't a "threat" to the money issuance monopoly any more than a ton of bricks at the bottom of the ocean is a threat.

What gives money value is demand for the money. Government primes demand by requiring that all payments to the government be made with that money. That is the root of value.

Everything else isn't currency - it's either a barter, a commodity, a ponzi scheme or a scam.

It'll matter when the blog guy wants an iOS app and has to call it "LP MAKER PLUS" or something dumb.

Unfortunately we're not going to generate very much juice. Assuming perfect conversion and assuming that the average person burns 100 calories per hour, we're only talking about .12 watts.

I tried a stand up desk for a while before putting together a treadmill desk. I found with the stand up, my legs and feet got tired quickly while standing and I was too easily distracted by shiny things. The treadmill is a bit more captivating and that helps my mental focus. And my feet don't get tired for hours.

Here's the treadmill desk I made last summer http://codhisattva.tumblr.com/post/37133702658/the-walking-d.... Really practical for me and productive. I find I can work at 2mph and type and read just fine. Although I do have to slow down or stop to type on an iPad or iPhone.

Vindictive prosecutions intended to "set an example" or "send a message" are simply cloaked ambition. And end up destroying lives.

They sure are but I think the most significant part is the depression. Mental health is an unspoken issue in the industry.

I saw the title, but I had to look it up.

It's not. Credit Unions are the real alternative to banks.

He's done a great job and presented his information quite well. As an adult and a father I'd say that I represent his target market perfectly and he succeeded in: a) impressing me with his ability and determination, b) delivering to me the kind of information I need to know and c) delivering to me a sense of his maturity.

Not only do I think he would be a great guest but I can see him being very successful with whatever career path he chooses.

So is it a better sales page than you? Yes indeed, information delivered.

I've heard anecdotally that you can transfer apps but you'll need App Store support involved. It's not immediate though.

Or hiring managers and team leads aren't awake yet.

Good point. Consumer computing is a much large category and QNX shouldn't be left out.

But considering the source (Gartner) it's not surprise really.

I know what you mean. It's a bit like lumping big screen cinema in with made for TV movies.

Exactly. (Frustrating that the other thread hi-jacked the attitude.)

I just was in an artist's studio where he was working on several very large commissioned stained glass windows. Numbers everywhere.

Do you have any written correspondence to that effect? If so, you should delete this "Ask HN" and get a lawyer. Period.

The first question that comes to mind is "Was the company upfront about the trial period being unpaid?"

Next, it sounds like there's more to the story as that's a very odd business arrangement. It's almost always the case where a contract is in the best interests of the company, so you might need to elaborate on the details.

It'll take more than manufacturers to kick start Win8. If you can appeal to developers as early adopters you can win.

Punked. According to the article, this is a link to an ad that doesn't look like an ad.

Amazon has licensed Nokia map tech and data. Not that interesting unless you are desperately trying to get away from Google.
