Ask HN: Need some advice to Quote the Correct Price 
I run a programming site and was contacted by a big product company. They want to publish 8 product posts about their product (they will write) in the next 5 months and purchase 5 million impressions of a 125x125 ad. The product relates to the programming articles i write. I am not sure what to charge them per post and for the 125x125 ad.

Something about my site:
Visitors: 320K p.m with majority from US, Canada, Europe and India.
Regular content. 11K Rss readers.
Google PR: 5
Alexa - 30K

Can anyone tell me how to go about this?
When is the right time to "ship" your product?
http://www.socialmedian.com/2008/03/when_is_the_right_time_to_ship.html
The big question in an iterative agile development model is WHEN is the right time to "ship" the product to the public? Do you stay stealth until you have the product fully baked -- that is say after a handful of iterative cycles and private alpha user testing? Or, do you go public early and iterate in front of everyone?

Opensource robotic prosthetic hand can be made for $1000
http://robohub.org/this-robotic-prosthetic-hand-can-be-made-for-just-1000/
Joel Gibbard tells us about how was able to create a functional prototype for a robotic prosthetic hand for just $1000. Usually, prosthetic hands cost between $11,000-$110,000 making them too expensive more many amputees to afford, especially in developing countries. Joel uses 3d printing and some smart design decisions to keep costs down.

https://gocharlie.ai/
We wanted to build an AI that enables anyone to be a creator. We think the best version of the future is one where humans partner with AI to take their own capabilities far beyond what's possible in a mutually exclusive world.

GoCharlie.ai is our first attempt at this, and focuses on creating optimized for engagement social media marketing content.

People are using it for SEO work, D2C Product Marketing Campaigns, and getting rid of writers block when starting from an image.

We're different from Jasper and Copy.ai as we are starting with going across media modalities from the start, and we develop our own AI models.

Ask HN: Thoughts on Liability and Cloud Computing
As we move towards an industry which is wholly dependent on cloud computing, how can we be sure that our data is safe when we depend on a third party?

--

A bit of context;

I've recently experienced difficulties with a well respected VPS hosting provider and their backup service. The backups provided failed me (and were incorrectly indicated as successful), which left me in a very compromising position.

After reviewing their 'Terms of Service', I realised that liability in such cases rests with the client. This includes cases where the company's negligence has caused loss or damage.

As a result, I decided to look into using an independent backup service - and discovered similarly iron-clad liability clause in each subsequent company's own ToS.
Ask HN: Open Source license to forbid commercial use?
I'm working with an org who wants to open source their project but what they want is something like the 'creative commons no commercial use' license. I've not seen any open source licenses like that - the closest situation I can think of is a dual-license approach like MySQL uses. Any suggestions?

Tell HN: Reddit Reddit Reddit
Probably the last time I'll bother posting, or visiting.

I am seeing about 90% of the same stuff over at reddit, first, then typically shows up here a few hours, and sometimes days later... even the comments have went reddit style.

The only differences here, are the occasional call for YC submissions, and the outcomes.

Used to love this site, but I think it's lost its uniqueness, unless of course your looking for a bit of start-up capital.

Women 2.0 » Berkeley Pitch Mixer Makes Networking With Entrepreneurs Fun

How many times have you attended an entrepreneur focused event and felt drained afterwards? If you live in the East Bay you’re even more used to feeling drained, not only for the effort required to impress and introduce yourself to so many strangers, but afterward you probably had to drive across the Bay just to get back home before you had to get back to work in the morning! Doesn’t that sound exhausting? It is!

Tell HN: Track my location? Bring it on, I say...
I am hoping that we get more and more of "Apple tracks my location" or "Creepy can show you what your stalkers knew all these days", "Debt collectors using FB to spam people who owe" which shows the "boiling frog syndrome" that we all fall prey to. The general public have long turned a blind eye to privacy, even though the last five years have brought tools that compel us to share our most intimate details publicly (knowingly or unknowingly) and by giving One in Two among us a GPS (by end of 2011). Color with its implicit social graph and FB Events with its "Go ahead and tag anyone else at the event you know" which shouts out my location even though I may not have wanted to check in or share, has pushed us uncomfortably closer to a future that we may not fully understand or even want.

But I am hoping that with more awareness being brought on by these screw ups (intentional or otherwise) may finally be the reason for the frog to leap out of the tepid water. I don't believe we will give up the benefits of sharing our location completely for the sake of privacy. We (and that's a broad WE) will need to strike that healthy balance that protects me, puts me back in the drivers seat, and puts location on the same level as my SSN (dont laugh!).

The least desirable route in my opinion would be the regulatory route, where "Prescient" Uncle Sam dictates the rules. Which is why today's technology companies must collaborate in protecting the privacy of their customers, and build that in today. For them, an empty boiling pot or a dead frog, both are compelling reasons to change their ways today.

Adding SaaS offering to an already successful services business?
I have been a freelancer for the last 3 years, my gross yearly income is in the ~400k range and i managed to keep ~70% of that. I identified a business need that i plan to address with a SaaS offering, no need for VC in my case, the war chest is full.

I just hired a technical buddy to help me code the application, we are close to a working prototype. I plan to give him 10-20% ownership in two years, in the meantime he receive a very reasonable salary.

Any tips, links, references to help me with this ? what are the pitfall of going from services to 'products' ?

“Resellerclub Scam” in Google Analytics Organic Search Keywords
Anyone keeping track of Google Analytics over the last month or so is probably familiar with the referral spam (darodar.com/ilovevitaly.com etc.) that's been screwing up analytics. I have no idea if it's the same people as there is no way to track this stuff, but it seems a weird coincidence that this completely unrelated keyword comes up on multiple sites and the traffic is from Russia.
I'm really surprised Google hasn't found a way to beat this. The same keyword search showing up on presumably millions of sites from the same geographic area and they can't just block it? I've never thought about looking for GA alternatives until now.
