Managing tasks and projects comprehensively.
http://lightarrow.com/lifetopix/the-12-lifetopix/tasks-projects
The eas­ier it is to man­age all the infor­ma­tion about what you want to get done, the more pro­duc­tive you will be. LifeTopix Tasks + Projects gives you the abil­ity to enter, orga­nize, pri­or­i­tize, track and check off even the most com­plex tasks and projects in the most stream­lined, nat­ural, and easy-to-understand way imag­in­able. Because you can tie this in to other related infor­ma­tion you have already entered into other areas of Life­Topix — such as events or trips you are plan­ning, edu­ca­tion assign­ments or health pro­ce­dures — you don’t have to re-enter infor­ma­tion in mul­ti­ple places in sep­a­rate appli­ca­tions like you would have to with other prod­ucts. Even bet­ter, you can cre­ate tasks and projects directly from within the con­text of those other top­ics. It is a bet­ter way to man­age all your activ­i­ties and a more effi­cient way to get through them.
Ask HN: Does Namecheap store passwords in clear text?
a few weeks ago I had problems accessing some features on namecheap.com, so I turned to their online support. After failing to resolve the issue, the support guy suggested doing what I needed for me.

To do that he said he needed the first 3 characters of my password. I asked if he were able to see my password, and he replied that he couldn't, and that he would feed those characters to a system that would conduct a check.

His answer wasn't really convincing, but as I needed these things done quickly (and the password was unique to that account), I played along, and since forgot all about it.

I would like to know, is there any way they're not storing passwords as clear text?

EDIT: he asked for the first 3 chars but actually claimed that any 3 would do. It makes sense (as suggested below), that they store hash of the first 3, and that he just didn't know what he was talking about.

Show HN: Release-notifier.com – Get notified of new releases from GitHub repos
https://release-notifier.com/
Hi everyone,

this is a very small project I did some time ago, because the existing tools like gitpunch didn't worked at that given time.

With my tool you are able to get notified by email or webhook (e.g. Rocket.chat) if a specific repository on github gets a new release.

It's a simple rails SaaS and without costs. TBH if many people are interested in the tool maybe there could be a fee in the future, but that's a story in the future and not for you "early adopters" :)

Have a nice day!

Should Amazon duplicate Wikipedia contents?

The Co-Founder Mythology
http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2011/05/09/the-co-founder-mythology/
One of the greatest myths in start-up world is that you NEED to have co-founder to create Great , Amazing Companies.One the similar hand some of the largest business (in the recent past) have been created by Solo Founder - Ebay, SpaceX, Spanx, Amazon - to name a few.

In the offline world - most of the largest businesses have been traditionally started by Solo-Founder with some support from friends and family. (Think Andrew Carnegie, Honda, Colonel Sanders and many more)

There is a discrimination in the valley against solo founders because INVESTORS feel much safer investing in multiple people vs backing a single individual!

What Mark is suggesting in this article is actually a very intelligent mid-way path .. Start solo, build your MVP, Get some traction , some angel funding , some customers and then hire a Co-Founder or better still employees with generous stock options.

Ask HN: Article about things I know or don't know, anyone that has a link?
I read a very interesting post a while ago (could be 1-2 years) that was talking about the split of knowledge that everyone of us has.

Specifically:

1) things I know

2) things I think I know

3) things I know I don't know

4) things I don't know I don't know

The path to wisdom would be to decrease 2) and 4) and increase 1) and 3) :)

I cannot find it any more and there are just a few articles that have the diagram, but their content is low quality.

Anyone that knows what I'm talking about?

Ask HN: Is Flattr.com a Ponzi scheme or good micropayment system?
Is Flattr.com a Ponzi scheme, or a new and revolutionary social micropayment system for creating services on the web?

I recently signed up my website for Flattr.com, because I really loved the initial idea of Flattr. However, I've been thinking: Is Flattr.com really a Ponzi scheme?

Wikipedia: "A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned." I'm not saying that Flattr is fraudulent, but is the Flattr system really sustainable?

Show HN: Clades – an organic approach to social media
https://clad.es/Registration
Bottom Line: Clades is a very early stage reddit-like platform that aims to tackle the bot problem without algorithms or an army of mods. Basically, every user is an invite of another user and those invites accrue over time making it very difficult to build up a malicious presence while simultaneously making it very easy to prune entire branches of users and content. Right now, users have to wait a week before inviting another user and they can only store a maximum of 10 invites at any time. For the next 2 days, I'm opening up registration so Hackernews users can test it out if anyone wants to. It's very much in a beta stage so data will likely be wiped before an official release. Go Crazy

Clades started as a pandemic project that sat on the backburner for a long time before I realized that there may interest for it and I started polishing it up. The idea behind it is to foster the growth of small, niche communities either centered around where you live or things you're interested in. The goal is not to become the next big platform but rather to provide a quiet place where a community doesn't have to worry about brigading, drive by vandalism, or the ever present bot menace. Clades is designed to not store sensitive information like emails and tries to have a minimal data footprint while still supporting passwordless logins...if the database were compromised, no personal information could be retrieved besides usernames.

I'm just a single hobby dev with a full time non-software job and I haven't really launched anything successfully yet so this is all new to me. Feedback is much appreciated.
Django Ignitor Library - Switch from a PHP Framework easily
https://github.com/bmoyles0117/Django-Ignitor
If you're interested in using python as an MVC, but you can't get out the ease-of-use that PHP MVCs provide as far as automagically routing urls to views, then please check out this library! I made it to be a tool those who want python, without committing 100% right away, knowing that they will later!

This library is intended to make the transition to Django from PHP Frameworks such as code ignitor and the Zend Framework a bit more seamless. Django is one of the popular Python frameworks, but I've found that teaching newcomers how to use it has been slightly confusing, due to Django's very flexible approach for handling URLs to views. Some people simply want Django to take care of the URL abstraction for them, so that it means one less thing to learn before making the switch over.

Ask HN: Generic Search Traffic on GAE with dynamic content.
This may or may not be the proper place for this question but it seems the best place to ask.

Because of the limitations of GAE(specifically no writing of new files unless you are deploying) how can one structure their application so that google and other search engines can crawl it?

The main pre-determined content is obviously not an issue, however in most implementations of say a blog, the blog posts are stored as static content in the datastore.

If I were writing a competitor to blogspot(I'm not) how could I provide users with the opportunity to receive generic traffic?

Has anyone tackled this issue with any success? Or does using GAE require you to subscribe to the "generic traffic is less important everyday." school of thought?

I've just come from a Verne Harnish Seminar in Barcelona about Strategic Planning. I haven't heard about him before, but it was really inspirational.

I asked him after the seminar if he did know Paul Graham and that I followed YC's HN and Silicon Valley Startup Scene, and he told me that he knew Paul Graham, but not in person (he knew who PG is).

Ask HN: With Delicious failing, what's the promise of cloud computing?
To me cloud computing means putting my data on the clod and being able to access it anywhere. But Yahoo!/Delicious kind of taking the magic out of it, as you need to worry about if your data is still going to be available sometimes down the road. There is no promise that Flick will not be gone. So does Facebook or even one day Google. End user still need to manage the data somehow, for example doing export of bookmarks from Delicious to another host. It seems that there really is no difference putting data in the cloud than putting on your local computer, except for the accessibility. Let say down the road when there is little internet latency and everyone's running 1Gbps fiber, and if I store my iPhoto library inside a Dropbox/iDisk/Box.net/WebDav folder, can this be considered cloud computing?
