What do you think of my business plan?
http://www.gmbhnews.com/
I've just set my mobile site ready for release and monetisation. I have 3 business models concepts at this point:

1- Advertisement

2- Sponsorship

3- Paying customers for the premium service, premium service means access to more feeds and all blogs on te listing, but I'm not sure if thi is a good move, since peoples don't like paying for content, could you please give me some feedback concerning the third option? Should I keep the paywall dor more content or better remove it?
Would you pay for the service as a user?

5 Reasons Why IE7 is Complaining about your Javascript
http://ragrawal.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/top-5-reasons-why-ie7-is-complaining-about-your-javascript/
Ended up debugging IE7 javascript last night and this link proved useful. The culprit in my case was a trailing comma in the last line of a jquery ajax post submission.

My lesson learned? Use single line escapes for comments (//) rather than multi-line escapes (/.../), as it makes commenting out large sections of code considerably easier when/if you need to cut out sections for debugging purposes.

A truly unpleasant reminder how awful it is to develop in IE, and how backward the browser is compared to Firefox from a developer's perspective.
Pym.js: Embed iframes responsively

Beware Of Bitcoin
http://cognoscenti.wbur.org/2013/12/05/bitcoin-currency-mark-t-williams
I thought the author brought up some good points regarding Bitcoin and it's value beyond a speculative currency but he's wrong in some regards, especially the acceptance where in Boston we have several restaurants and services that accept Bitcoin.

My personal opinion is Bitcoin has it's uses but it's been turned into a quasi investment program and is more of a stock market than a currency.
Hollow, an online interactive documentary.
http://hollowdocumentary.com/
Massive scoped project, pulled it off w/ only two developers. Got some good initial press at Huffington Post and NY Times, but I thought I'd point it out here as a new direction in potential development/engineering, a space I intend to keep working. Also speaks a lot to the pros (speed to delivery) and cons (sometimes gangly code) of working with Node.js. Site has 4gb of content (wearing that on the sleeve). Fiendish Chrome-only site (you fix it to work in other browsers!). Overall very satisfying experience.

Show HN: ZeroMock, a mocking framework for concrete classes (.NET 6)
https://zeromock.com/
ZeroMock is a mocking framework with syntax inspired by moq, for .NET 6

It supports mocking concrete classes, with no configuration/profiler required.

The goal is to reduce writing boilerplate interfaces just to make classes testable.

It does not support mocking interfaces, since moq already provides that functionality.

I hope others may also find this library useful. I just released v0.0.1, it is currently in alpha stage. I would avoid using it in production scenarios for now.

How to Write an Effective Design Document

Charles Stross:  Business as usual
http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2009/07/business_as_usual.html
Very uncomfortable feeling, when an SF writer has to think of new story ideas, because his current "outlandish" ones keep coming true.

The curse "May you live in interesting times" begins to hit home?
A short poem on leaving friends
A group of Friends, around a dozen,
always together - traveling, eating, talking and having fun,

Met half a decade back,
But now will they still be able to keep each other's track?

Because now's the time when most need to leave
They'll be gone... leaving just a few to grieve

Some go for jobs, some for education.
some out of sheer desperation.
This means no hikes, dinner, last moment plans - not even a short vacation.

It'll only be a few of us, even if we meet
No more full house on parties, hikes or someone's birthday treat,
Will we even have time to send texts and greet.

We'll make new friends, life will go on and with passing years...,
We'll stop staying in touch, start forgetting these peers.
And whenever we think about these days, all we'll have are tears

We'll have video calls. We'll have meetings on zoom.
But thats 1 dimensional, When will all of us be again in the same room?

Yes, Everyone will be gone, busy with their life, each living in different city,
Oh, I cant go on.. This disconsolateness..., Oh, what a pity.

But I am sure, everyone will meet again, everyone will find ways,
To get back together, meet, play games and talk about the good old days!!

Ask HN: how do I check if the package was built from a particular source?
So, say I have an ubuntu .deb package with binary files in it and I have the source files from which those binaries were built both downloaded from the repo. How do I check if those binaries were built from the exact same source they claim to be built from? CRC seems to only provide a way of checking the summ for the package downloaded, so that I'd be sure nothing happened during the download - but, as far as I understand, it has nothing to do with the sources.
