HUGE collection of sites to help you promote your startup
https://www.favsync.com/common/publicTab/v274z25464-3312a1d297ed261ecb3cc34928347c43/biggest-collection-of-sites-to-submit-your-site
Hi all, I am new here and I want to contribute to the community.

So here's something really useful for every website owner:
It's the biggest collection of links I found on the web, where website owners and start-ups can submit their website (submit to blogs, guest articles, site directories, feedback and stuff like that). Seems like it's also being updated all the time.

Feel free to say thanks share it with others :)
And if anybody knows of something similar please let me know.

More on Skype Outage
A couple of messages of interest from p2p-hackers mailing list (both are from the same person - Julian Cain).

http://lists.zooko.com/pipermail/p2p-hackers/2010-December/002693.html -

There are ~100,000 standby supernodes at any one moment
also the hardcoded supernodes are for the most part
installed into universities as you state. I believe
this to be an automated event.

If you compare which supernodes went down to those that
didn't the version numbers are similar. I've captured
these packets and decrypted them and currently looking
into my findings.

Most of the supernodes were non-responsive at ~12:00 EST.
There were only ~2k routing traffic at the peak of this
event and the network requires ~71,000 to support peak
load hours.

It will be interesting to hear what they claim happened.

http://lists.zooko.com/pipermail/p2p-hackers/2010-December/002700.html -

As I mentioned yesterday I believe this to be an attack
on the skype object list cmd parameter in certain
versions of skype for windows. More to come on that.

Skype is not answering these questions yet but I'm sure
PR will produce the trigger and not engineering.

This will require an update to skype because one fault
lies in the static supernode list which points to these
suspect versions of skype which still remain offline.

I'm completing a skype UDP probe tool to gather
statistics that should give more insight into what nodes
failed and perhaps why they remain down.

He has also posted a video of his purported Skype analysis tools in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHpFIMlItrM

10 Hypothesis for Technology Investing
http://www.businessinsider.com/roger-mcnamees-10-hypotheses-for-technology-investing-updated-edition-2011-12?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2Falleyinsider%2Fsilicon_alley_insider+%28Silicon+Alley+Insider%29#-1
I originally saw Roger McNamee of Elevation Partners give this "10 Hypothesis for Technology Investing" presentation while working at Yelp early last year (2011). The forward-thinking nature of some of these hypothesis were definitely thought provoking, and even humbling to a point.

I found the presentation (dated Nov 16, 2011) again recently and I came to HN to check out what the conversation around it was like. I was surprised when searching that I couldn't find it. So forgive me if this is a repost, but it's absolutely thought provoking and insightful. Thought you might enjoy :)

Smelly Communication: How the Suits should assign tasks to Geeks
http://zeroturnaround.com/blog/communication-smell-when-suits-assign-tasks-to-geeks/
Not unlike the great zebras and lions of the wild, the “Suits” (Marketing, Sales, Creative) and “Geeks” (Dev, Ops, Infra) in an IT company often face misunderstandings. When highly-technical and less-technical employees in a fast-growing tech shop need to accomplish something jointly, good communication is clearly necessary, but it’s not a one-sided thing.

TheGlobalSquare: Call for coders
http://wlcentral.org/node/2456
TheGlobalSquare aims to be the first massive decentralized social network in the history of the Internet. We are aware of the difficulties we must overcome, but we believe the Internet Community has reached a point where such an initiative is possible. It is possible because we are more united; censorship and repression have created stronger bonds between those who care about freedom and the free flow of information. How can we achieve this goal?

Printer that "manufactures" objects 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing
3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process.

Intelligence Inversely Correlated with Intercourse

I'm not particularly concerned about EC2 outage.
Despite the fact that my servers were offline for almost four days I thank my lucky stars every day for the existence of EC2.

Anyone who thinks that building something as sophisticated as EC2 can be done perfectly just doesn't understand computers.

Before cloud hosting we had to run our own servers and had far more outages and solving the problems had to be done in person running around with bits of hardware and copying data yuck. I have been able to sit back during this meltdown thinking "Amazon has a bunch of super smart people working real hard to sort out my problems, I just have to wait till they have it worked out."

This outage is not a result of laziness, incompetence or inattention to detail, and it hasn't happened for lack of attention to building reliable and robust systems. Building highly available systems on a scale never seen before must be unimaginably hard.

All it means is we can stop pretending there is some sort of non stop, never breaks perfect computer. It's just time to be more careful and redundant. If however your operational procedures are poor and you lack backups and lost data then you are probably pretty annoyed, but it's you who should be annoyed at yourself for not covering your butt.

Cloud computing isn't perfect, it's just great.

So I'm still grateful for the EC2 and I thank Amazon for it.

I just wish the Amazon EC2 servers weren't so damn slow..... :-)
I wish volume controls and video/audio position controls zoomed up on devices
So I'm listening to a one hour podcast on my iPhone. Or I'm watching catch-up TV. And I want to rewind a little bit or fast forward a little bit.

And I have to try to get my fat adult finger firstly to grab the microscopic little control, and ever so gently move it the smallest possible distance I can. WHOOPS I didn't jump 30 seconds I jumped ten minutes. I try to get the position back to where I was WHOOPS! I jumped five minutes after that position. In fact it's impossible to jump 30 seconds because the phone is so small and the scale of the slider is so small.

Can't they come up with a way to zoom up a "high resolution slider" of some sort that allows me to jog back and forth through video is a better way? Some sort of control that doesn't require a microscope and needle to operate?
