VC Fundraising Manual: How A VC Is Funded
http://www.markpeterdavis.com/getventure/2008/02/how-a-vc-is-fun.html
VCs typically get their money that they invest entrepreneurs in four ways.

Diverse LPs: The most common funding source comes from a diverse group of limited partners (e.g., university endowments, high net worth individuals, insurance companies and pension funds).
Concentrated LPs: The second most common source of capital is from one limited partner, typically an extraordinarily wealthy family or corporation.
Government: Some VCs are part of a state or local government investing money with the objective of generating returns and enhancing the local economy.
Public Captial: VCs also raise capital by becoming publicly traded companies. Shares are purchased on the open market, giving the VC fund capital to invest.

Ask HN: Sending thousands of emails all at once. how?
I need to send 80k emails to my users (no spam). So far I have always used a script on my server, but I've never tried to send more than 100 emails/day.

Do you think it's a good idea to send 80k emails all at once from the same server, or there would be spam issues? I could also use gmail api but I'm not sure google would be happy with it.

Thanks in advance.
Hacking the lock screen on Android
http://loklok.co
With Slingshot, Taptalk and all the others, I was wondering what you guys think about this concept? Loklok is a messaging app that uses the lock screen as the communication channel.

What I think is clever is that it doesn't require the user to open an app anymore. Instead the display becomes the direct channel to the people that you chat with. What do you think?

Mother Jones article on havenco relaunch
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/08/sealand-havenco-data-haven-pirate
Not sure it was really Sealand trying to create havenco the first time around, and the article is light on tech details, but it is an interesting read.

It would be great to see Tahoe-LAFS get wider adoption, though, and now there are two providers - Zooko's LeastAuthority and now havenco doing so (so people can do cross-provider RAID/erasure coding).

Berkelium: off-screen rendering, js, and event listening using Chromium.
http://berkelium.org/
Berkelium is a BSD licensed library that provides off-screen browser rendering via Google's open source Chromium web browser.<p>It takes advantage of Chromium's multiprocess rendering to isolate browsers from each other and can render to any buffer in memory. The user of the library can inject input and javascript code into web pages to control them, as well as listen for events generated by the page such as navigation events, load sequence events and paint events. Berkelium provides a small API for embedding a fully functional browser into any application.

The 3D Craze Is In Full Effect; Still Can't Find A Way In People's Homes
http://www.techi.com/2010/08/the-3d-craze-is-in-full-effect-still-cant-find-a-way-in-peoples-homes/
Been to the movie theaters lately? Well then you probably have heard about Avatar, Piranha 3-D, Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D, Despicable Me, Saw 3D, Titanic 3D (yeah, they are bringing back Titanic in 3D), and so on. It’s pretty clear that 3D is the movie industry’s selling point right now, and people are actually buying into it. But are these people buying into the 3D experience at home? Not so much.

The 7th episode of the newsletter Generative AI - Short & Sweet is out now.
--> https://generativeai.net/newsletter

Perpetual View/Video Generation (PVG). AI models generate open-ended videos from one image only - at least that’s the newest approach from Google Research [1]. These videos are “flying“ through a scene depicted in the input image. The range of potential applications is endless. Further, the tech behind it is incredibly smart and it marks the next cornerstone of generative AI.

In this episode we talk about the PVG's tech side and brainstorm about its future applications. (+ a little digression about the future usage of synthetic data in AI training.)

Best, Martin

In response, he created a simple Ruby script that uses Markov Chains to generate @buster_ebooks, a version of @horse_ebooks made from his Tweet archive (https://gist.github.com/busterbenson/6695350). A script is cool, but what if you could have a gem? SAY NO MORE!

Cloud and Education: Wired Embed Digs In
Ask HN: for some advice while building for HTTP.
Writing something from the ground-up for HTTP is hard enough as it is, which is why frameworks and PHP is nice, but for whatever reason whenever I start a new project, and keep in my mind that I do not come the school of Computer Science so a bulk of my server-side experience is by trial-and-error in PHP, I have a hard-time conceptualizing my application for HTTP.

Frameworks help, but they sometimes feel like rigid cheats for getting by. I guess what I wanna know is did you experience something similar when making the transition from writing short and simple programs for a local interpreter or compiler to writing applications that required some sort of network protocol like HTTP?

I don't think I'm having trouble seeing the "big picture" while building out application X, but sometimes I think my assumptions of HTTP and my application's hypothetical "big picture" are in conflict.

Budgets & Big Websites: Where does it all go?
http://seabourneconsulting.com/2011/04/13/budgets-big-websites-where-does-it-all-go/
The comment to the right, from a recent slashdot post about the new beta.fcc.gov, reflects a common sentiment in the development community, especially from people who are just beginning and haven't worked on enterprise websites. Since I often see people discussing this topic, I though it would be useful to outline some of the factors that go into the budget for a large website, and specifically how we come up with an estimated budget for building a large enterprise website.

Females also teach their mate and any helpers the password by singing it to them in a "solicitation song" performed away from the nest.

Ask HN: Which iOS web browser do you use? Why?
Firefox have released a new iOS browser. There was some interesting discussion here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26272710.

It got me thinking, I have little idea what the "best" browser setup is for iOS, especially in terms of privacy, but also usability and unique features.

I currently use Safari with the 1Blocker add-on. I notice that DuckDuckGo has a browser, what are its advantages? What about Firefox? Or even Chrome?

What browser do you use? Why? Is there native support (or the ability to include add-ons) for ad-blockers or enhanced privacy?

Social networking is about to start replacing television stations. Not all of them, of course, but many stations will lose regular viewers to people who are spending more and more time fiddling about on social networks like MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, etc. After all, most of the programming is becoming harder to watch, the commercials are forever getting longer and longer, and the majority of television just doesn't entertain certain people anymore.

Seven Questions Employees Should Ask Before Joining a Startup

Ask HN: Review my startup
http://www.FollowProSports.com
A couple of weeks ago I was watching The Masters tournament and started compiling a Twitter list of the top 100 PGA Tour pros. I created a test webpage and added the widget to it. That was interesting watching the tour pros comment before and after their rounds, but I soon found myself wanting more information. I added two more widgets beside the first, one to follow the hashtag #TheMasters and a second for the hashtag #Augusta. Now I was getting the tour pros input alongside the fans. What a way to watch the tournament!

Recently configured similar pages to follow MLB pros and games, the NFL Draft, UFC 159 and the NBA Playoffs.

The site is still a work in progress, but I'd like to get some feedback on the idea, the layout and any other insight you care to offer.

Thanks!
