Silicon Valley aside, why are Americans more willing to risk a startup?
I'm based in the UK and am hoping to apply to YC in Oct. We are currently looking for strong hackers to co-found with us, if they like the idea. We cannot, however, find anyone in the UK even remotely interested. The concept of 'it's not what you do but when you do it' simply does not exist here. What does the US have that we don't?

We're finding out right now WHATWG-induced W3C work on HTML 5 ECMA TC39 TG1 work on ES4 (AKA JS2) Enfranchising Web Developers JavaScript 2 Update "The unavoidable price of reliability is simplicity" -- C.A.R. Hoare JS1 oversimplified => complexity tax on developers JS2 goal: cut complexity tax Without bloating the core language Or small device implementations! http://ecmascript-lang.org/ SML-NJ reference implementation public bug (trac) database public wiki coming soon New Since Last Year Expression closures: function cube(x) x * x * x Program units Dictionaries ByteArrays, Vectors, Tuples Type system evolution Program Units use unit acme.widgets "http://acme.com/widgets"; unit acme.widget { // program unit definition goes here ... } Server preprocessor can expand use to definition Locator could be a p2p hash instead of a URL Open question: Why packages and program units? Dictionaries class Dict.<K, V> with key, value type params Constructor takes advice to support two styles: OOP style calls k1.equals(k2), k.hashcode() FP style calls k1 === k2, intrinsic::hashcode(k) Converts Object to Dict.<K, *> for several key types K let d : Dict.<string, int> = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}; Sensible JSON integration via toJSONString Name still in flux (Hash?

Fixed length with type constraints Type-checked compatibility with Array Type System Trade-offs We believe untyped objects will abound forever But typed APIs, including structural types, will emerge Nominal (class) hierarchies (DOM, Flex, etc.) likely too But they won't take over the Web So we're not turning JS into Java Most common case: Untyped code calling Typed API Another important case: class matching structural type Structural Types as Contracts Given function f(a : {p: int, q: string}) ... Assume it's a structurally typed API method What does f({p: 42, q: "hi"}) check, and when? Use cases want early and deep checking An untyped object could mutate after the check Checking every read too costly, yet still incomplete See MochiKit's isArrayLike, isDateLike Given a class C with the right instance vars, passing f(new C(42, "hi")) can go fast Performance Trends "Fastest browser on the planet" i-bench bragging Pure JS performance not critical (yet, for common cases) DOM and rendering dominate critical paths, but: DOM bindings hide JS dynamic typing costs Developers are pushing hard at the frontiers John Resig wrote and collected some benchmarks http://ejohn.org/apps/js-speed/results/ New Projects ActionMonkey Mascot wannabe: Merge Tamarin and SpiderMonkey Targeting Mozilla 2 release, beta next year First stage integrates Tamarin's Garbage Collector Later stages include trace-based JITing IronMonkey Inspiration: Map IronPython and IronRuby to Tamarin Avoid forking C# source using Mono C# compiler Bytecode translation a la IKVM, JaCIL Led by Seo Sanxiyn of FePy and PyPy fame ScreamingMonkey Goal: support Tamarin in other browsers Led by Mark Hammond of Windows Python fame First target: IE integration as an ActiveScript engine Handle these RFC 4329 content <script> type= values: application/ecmascript;version=4 application/javascript;version=2 Other browser integrations to follow The Truth About JavaScript JavaScript is...

Microsoft Launches Art Of Office - Mac Users Pissed | TechCrunch
2007-08-31T05:13:44+00:00
Michael Arrington
Here’s a strange new social site that we just got a tip on – ArtOfOffice is a Microsoft site that launched yesterday. It is a place for Mac users to upload artistic content made using Office applications. The community then shares, rates, remixes and discusses the content with other Mac users. See here and here for example content. As far as I can tell you don’t actually have to be using the Mac version of Office to use the site. Mac users are not impressed, however. Mostly because the announcement of ArtOfOffice came shortly after the announced delay of Mac Office 2008 from 2007 to 2008. Users were left wondering about Microsoft’s priorities. In the blog post announcing the new products, the Microsoft Mac team was lambasted for wasting time on side projects while Office 2008 was delayed. The first comment to the post: Us: Where’s Office 2008 and what’s in it? You: Look at this nifty website we found! Another reader: Jesus, have you guys got a product to ship deadline or not? And: Whether or not it took even five seconds of your time, it just looks bad and it sends the wrong message. Read the comments that follow nearly every post you guys put on this blog. Understand the very real frustrations people have with your product. Realize that people are very skeptical that you are going to do much of anything to resolve the issues in the next version of office. In that perceptual environment, does it make good PR sense to unveil some art site? Or, even though it took no staff resources, do you maybe just not go there. Don’t you think it makes it look like you have all the wrong priorities from the perspective of your customers? All we know is that while no one is willing to tell us much, if anything, about how our myriad problems with your product are getting solved in the next version, you sure found it important to let us know about some art site. The disconnect between you guys and your user base is truly stunning. The Mac team responded by saying that the project wouldn’t cost them “even a day” in shipping Office 2008, but the negative comments kept coming in. The timing of the launch of this new site was, perhaps, a little off. Thanks for the tip Amit.

Noise of modern life blamed for thousands of heart deaths
2007-08-23T12:18:18.000Z
Alok Jha
Thousands of people in Britain and around the world are dying prematurely from heart disease triggered by long-term exposure to excessive noise, according to research by the World Health Organisation. Coronary heart disease caused 101,000 deaths in the UK in 2006, and the study suggests that 3,030 of these are caused by chronic noise exposure, including to daytime traffic.Deepak Prasher, professor of audiology at University College London, told the New Scientist magazine: "The new data provide the link showing there are earlier deaths because of noise. Until now, noise has been the Cinderella form of pollution and people haven't been aware that it has an impact on their health."The WHO's working group on the Noise Environmental Burden on Disease began work on the health effects of noise in Europe in 2003. In addition to the heart disease link, it found that 2% of Europeans suffer severely disturbed sleep because of noise pollution and 15% can suffer severe annoyance. Chronic exposure to loud traffic noise causes 3% of tinnitus cases, in which people constantly hear a noise in their ears.Research published in recent years has shown that noise can increase the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenalin in the body, even during sleep. The longer these hormones stay in circulation around the bloodstream, the more likely they are to cause life-threatening physiological problems. High stress levels can lead to heart failure, strokes, high blood pressure and immune problems."All this is happening imperceptibly," said Prof Prasher. "Even when you think you are used to the noise, these physiological changes are still happening."The WHO came to its figures by comparing households with abnormally high exposure to noise with those in quieter homes. It also studied people with problems such as coronary heart disease and tried to work out if high noise levels had been a factor in developing the condition. This data was then combined with maps showing the noisiest European cities.According to the WHO guidelines, the noise threshold for cardiovascular problems is chronic night-time exposure of 50 decibels (dB) or above - the noise of light traffic. For sleep disturbance, the threshold is 42dB, for general annoyance it is 35dB, the sound of a whisper.Ellen Mason, a cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Our world is undoubtedly getting busier and noisier. Some people find noise pollution more stressful to live with than others do. Noise cannot directly kill us, but it may add to our stress. Occasionally, stressful events can trigger a heart attack in someone with underlying heart disease. We know that stressed people are more likely to eat unhealthily, exercise less and smoke more, and these can increase the risk of developing heart disease in the first place."Mary Stevens, policy officer at the National Society for Clean Air, said of the study's results: "We welcome this because one of the problems with noise is that it's one of the areas that local authorities get most complaints about and it's a big draw on their resources. But, unlike air quality, it hasn't been taken that seriously policy-wise because there [wasn't] the link between noise and health."Ms Stevens said that there were many options for reducing noise. Traffic could be quietened if more cars used low-noise tyres and councils installed low-noise road surfaces, for example. And coordinating roadworks by utility companies would also prevent the proliferation of potholes, another source of noisy traffic.The EU has already issued a directive that obligates European cities with populations greater than 250,000 to produce digitised noise maps showing where traffic noise and volume is greatest. "[The research] all supports work going on at the moment to manage traffic noise, which is driven by the environmental noise directive," said Ms Stevens.

Troublesome manager.. what would you do?
So I'm a senior at top 10 engineering university and since January I have been working as lead webdev on a large, sponsor/government-funded project. I've done everything from focus groups, usability studies, surveys and have been creating a top-notch site. <p>I was away for two weeks in the time between summer semester's end and the beginning of fall semester and got an email from my manager saying essentially "hey, I've been working with someone else on the site". What was created from that was a complete bastardization of the design and was all new code. I had lots of PHP for general ease of dev and the new guy did all 50+ files in html.<p>Fast-forward to yesterday, new guy won't be working on it anymore and my manager wants me to take over. I've looked at this guy's code and it's a horrible mess - I want nothing of it. Deadline is in about a week.<p>Going back to my code is an equally large task as he had been adding other pages, content and "design features".<p>What would you do? I'm sure I am not the only one that has had this problem.

Ask: How to get the word out about your website? Does a press release help?
I created a website and now want to get the word out. Since it is my free time project I don't have enough funds to hire a PR agency. What do you recommend?

BandsInTown Adds Social Networking to Tracking Service
2007-08-27T18:16:40+00:00
null
Credit: BandsInTown, the network that lets you find and track bands you're interested in, has undergone a major update to its site, incorporating several new features in order to make it more of a social network for friends. Read our initial review here.With the ability to add friends, send private messages, leave comments on user profiles, events and venue pages, there are more ways in which users can gain first-hand information regarding the bands and events they're interested in, while also making new friends. All users now have profile pages where they can share information about themselves, like their top favorite artists and their top friends.A new BandsInTown widget displays the events you've added to your calendar. It can also show events that are specific to venues or artists. Record labels utilizing this widget can display an artist's tour dates and locations. This widget can be placed on your blog, or social networking profile, like MySpace, hi5 or Piczo. Equally as important, more ticket sources have been added to BandsInTown, along with RSS feeds for each user, artist, and venue calendar.As BandsInTown was already a good tool for finding and tracking artists and venues you're interested in, based on a variety of search parameters, incorporating these social networking components will better allow the users to help each other in an online community. This gives it an advantage over sites and communities that rely too much on promoters and user-generated content for the provision of data, but still enables users to enhance the site with personal contributions. In related news, Oodle's BandTracker has officially launched earlier this month.
