13,601 | comment | gweb | 2007-04-17T11:17:31 | null | I used to work on Razor software. I knew it was junk, but where to start fixing it? There is a deep problem with the companies that create mobile phones- carriers are their customers, but not their end users. The only company that seems to be innovating at all is Apple, which has enough clout to ignore what the carriers tell them and just bring something to market that users might want. What can a startup do in this space? Sell their software platform to a phone company? Motorola is taking ten years to switch to Linux/Java platform. The only hope for mobile phones is that Wi-Fi or some other technology will become capable of competing with the carriers. Until then, most of the innovators will be holding their breath. | null | null | 13,585 | 13,465 | null | null | null | null |
13,602 | comment | ced | 2007-04-17T11:25:41 | null | I think that the distinction between the two kinds is rather artificial, from the applicant's perspective. Both involve estimators of your ability, be it your ability to take an exam, or your ability to write an application. Both are more-or-less correlated with something important (being good in math; being a good potential entrepreneur). And both estimators are rewarded for being good. Teachers get a raise, investors get money. Why should one rejection be personal, and the other not? <p>In fact, the incentive to be accurate seems much larger for investors than for teachers. Thus, I would be much more bummed about being ignored by a smart investor, than about being given an F by a 9-to-5 teacher. | null | null | 13,343 | 13,343 | null | null | null | null |

13,612 | comment | Tichy | 2007-04-17T12:31:10 | null | Wondering if you are taking part in any other online communities. Myself, I don't even know many places to visit. Sometimes I indulge in discussions on Slashdot-like pages (not a really community), another place is a closed community run by a friend, with mostly other friends from real life. How many other people have a place like that? Do many people just use the social pages (MySpace etc) for that? Somehow I doubt it, it doesn't feel the same.<p>It just would be great to find likeminded people for the one or other thing. For exmaple sometimes I enjoy discussing economics, but I couldn't find a good online community for that yet. | null | null | 13,610 | 13,610 | null | null | null | null |

13,614 | comment | jkush | 2007-04-17T12:49:43 | null | Actually - that's pretty hard to do. What would probably be more "doable" is to take a transcript (done manually by a transcriptionist) and sync up the text with the video. <p>You could provide links in a transcript which when clicked take you to the part of the video in question, if you'd like to see it. You could also go the other way, and use a transcript to provide subtitles.<p>Any ideas on how to make this happen? My intial thought is to exploit pauses and breaks in the sound and map them to sentences, etc. Voice mapping would help too, so you could map a sentence to Paul Graham and another sentence to the interviewer.<p>What would be pretty cool (actually, REALLY cool now that I think about it) would be desiging a transcript markup language that could be married to a video. Has anyone done this? Why not?<p> | null | null | 13,613 | 13,608 | null | [

13,615 | comment | febeling | 2007-04-17T12:55:11 | null | I think everything should be better than a RAZR. We use it as a worst-case target device at our company. But, more generally, the power of carriers is definitely a problem, and as I hear it's way worse in the US. Their biggest nightmare is voip in the mobile, obviously, so I guess they simply try to lock down any innovation in the usable mobile platform area. | null | null | 13,465 | 13,465 | null | null | null | null |

13,626 | comment | Tichy | 2007-04-17T13:32:33 | null | I know that speech recognition probably is not quite good enough yet :-( I have another interest in this: since I am not a native english speaker, I find it often hard to understand everything that is being said in a video. English subtitles would often be helpful (especially for those videos of interviews or conference speeches etc.). <p>Perhaps Amazons mechanical turk could come in handy here? Would a clone of the mechanical turk specialised on movie transcripts be feasible? Or is it too special interest? (Perhaps most people either understand the words or they would prefer a translation?).<p>As for syncing subtitles: I don't know the details anymore, but I remember from ripping DVDs that the subtitles come simply in a text file along with the movie. So presumably something like you propose already exists. | null | null | 13,614 | 13,608 | null | [

13,628 | comment | jkush | 2007-04-17T13:36:33 | null | Sure, that exists because the movie studios usually ship movies out with a transcription.

In the example of the video above, if there WERE a transcript, you could use the software I propose above to provide subtitles automatically. | null | null | 13,626 | 13,608 | null | null | null | null |

13,634 | comment | shiro | 2007-04-17T14:02:15 | null | There's a service in Japan where you can associate text to a point in a video. You type text like chat while watching a video, and the text is recorded with the timestamp and played back along the video. Association is bidirectional---you can jump to certain time point in the video from the text as well. Currently most people just making fun, putting funny text on videos, but it would be quite useful to attach transcription by collaboration of audiences.<p>Unfortunately they only provide closed service for registered users: <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/">http://www.nicovideo.jp/</a>
(Actually they originally used YouTube as a video source and had no access restriction. But they got so much popular that YouTube had to shut down access from their site.) | null | null | 13,614 | 13,608 | null | [

It's only the people and the way they interact that separate it from Reddit, Digg, Fark, etc. So if you want to make a new "text sharing website" and have it be successful, you better have something better than the technology to differentiate yourself from your competition.

YC has specific things they're looking for, and only so many resources to go around; getting rejected means that (a) you didn't match what they were looking for or (b) you didn't seem as promising as some of the other people who applied.<p>A friend of mine is a marathon runner who usually comes in under 3 hours. It turns out that there are enough people in that category that the Boston Marathon offers slots by lottery, and this year he wasn't one of them. Not getting a slot in the Boston Marathon doesn't mean you can't finish the race; it just means you have to find a different place to run. | null | null | 13,542 | 13,484 | null | null | null | null |

But there's no link anywhere to such a video.<p> If you want to convince me that your product can do what it says - take the video talked about in this thread, run it through your software and give us a link so we can see what you mean.

13,674 | comment | budu3 | 2007-04-17T16:11:37 | null | Startups think they can just say they use Ruby on Rails and that will attract super star hackers. Just because it 'seems' that many hackers are moving to RoR doesn't mean they wanna work for you. You should tell them why they should work for you. Just as you're looking for good talent, they're looking for a good environment in which they can be learn and practice they art.

13,689 | comment | Goladus | 2007-04-17T16:58:33 | null | Just to discuss a question that was skipped:<p>Romantic music (19th century) isn't always more complex than baroque music (early 18th century). Indeed, in many ways the transitions saw a decrease in certain kinds of complexity. Harmonic rhythm, that is the speed at which the underlying chord pattern changes, slowed down during the late 18th century. Tuning shifted from meantone to equal temperament. (More complex to implement, but results in a cleaner+simpler UI for musicians ;)<p>Also, there were advances in instrument design. In particular, the piano of the 19th century was much like a modern piano. Compared to the 18th century piano, it had a much more expressive power. Bach for example really could not write crescendos into his keyboard music. The keyboards of the time didn't do dynamics very well. He had organs and harpsichords and clavicords and such. In contrast, Brahms had the modern Piano.<p> | null | null | 13,608 | 13,608 | null | null | null | null |

The problem is that the whole "release as early as possible and get user feedback quickly" strategy has not been effective for me at all. My question is how I can get better feedback from users, not how I can suck less. | null | null | 13,681 | 13,650 | null | [

13,692 | comment | jaf656s | 2007-04-17T17:24:40 | null | This is very interesting, I think they are on the right track. I have many friends who are in indie bands, and it's true that a vast amount of their income is from concerts and merch sales. I think this even extends to big bands, but I don't know that first hand. CD sales are only good for the manufacturers and the labels. <p>The only problem that I see with what they said in the article, is that it is very difficult for a band with little/no outside exposure to generate enough traffic to their website to monetize ads. Most of my friends have severely neglected their own band websites in favor of their Myspace page, just because they don't get near as many hits there. <p>There has to be a better way.

13,695 | comment | vo0do0 | 2007-04-17T17:32:29 | null | when we first thought about ijigg's platform and language, Zaid was amazed by what people were saying about ruby on rails, even being a perl lover and experienced guy I asked myself: "Why not RoR?"<p>Three days after I started learning the magic and wonderful RoR I though: "WoW that's all that Java struts+expresso would like to be, this is fantastic! But there are small things that pisses me off."<p>I've like 7 years of experience with real development. From perl procedural coding without any framework to Objective C (to show the more bizarre language I've worked). I developed (not alone) a simple and small perl framework that is being used on iJigg and due to my experience what I can say is:<p>You have to choose the language and framework that will suit your application needs.<p>If your application will change everyday don't go for java or C, use these easy to change/handle languages like perl, python, php.<p>If your application deals a lot with IO and disk usage go for C, C++, Objective C.<p>If you have many programmers you need something like Java, that IMHO is good because people will code only what you let them code. A good programmer will make the same code as a beginner one. I always thought that Java was made for mass production.<p>About frameworks, you don't need them if you have something as simple as www.thankyou2006.com.<p>Frameworks are great, I couldn't live without them when building complex applications but there are many traps when using them. The learning curve and the freedom to hack it.<p>This comment is already too big, I've to write something more elaborated.

13,697 | comment | jkush | 2007-04-17T17:38:26 | null | I think the problem there is that you aren't understanding what they're asking for. I'm sure they are being perfectly clear in telling you what they want but something weird happens when users describe features and wish lists. They often don't know what they want. Finding that out is YOUR job.<p>IMHO, what you need to do is ask them what would make it better and then dig in to find out what they really mean. Why do they need that feature? There's no script or formula to do this, but that's one question I've found to be useful.<p>For example, User A says: put a link on my profile, which when clicked shows my age, sex and location. <p>You should ask, "why do you need that?"<p>The User will often respond in some way which will give you a clue as to what they're really looking for. <p>So, the response to that question might be, "oh, well, people always email me to ask me what my a/s/l is and I'm tired of telling them."<p>So, using this (very lame!) example, they're not looking for a link - they're looking for a way to show their a/s/l on their profile. You can give them what they really want, not what they're asking for.<p>I hope this makes sense. | null | null | 13,693 | 13,650 | null | null | null | null |
