Infection of biological DNA with digital Computer Code
http://spth.virii.lu/InfectingDNA.txt
Abstract:
"Biological life spreads in the biological-chemicalworld, computer codes can spread in the digital computer world. That is a rule - no self-replicator has ever overcome the digital-biological barrier. Until today.

Here I show a method how a digital computer code can infect biological DNA, thus spread in the biological-chemical world. The method is mainly based on the fantastic research by the J. Craig Venter Institute on synthetic life, and might ask new questions about the definition of life itself."

Social Networks are getting scary: Part I
https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/548f865590b5
Social networks was supposedly built to give people freedom to build connections, speak their minds and express their opinions to the world . It certainly did what it was built for. However, unfortunately, that freedom is leading to incrimination and discrimination of the people. Freedom has come at a massive cost.

The view from Silicon Valley
http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/29/technology/View_from_Valley_OBrien.fortune/
True characterizations of all the current environment, but the most interesting part of the article:

But while death and failure are part of the Valley psyche, so too is optimism. Peter Thiel thinks people are overreacting to the crisis. "I strongly think that for the next few months, equities, especially financial stocks, move higher," he says. "People are just way too bearish on the U.S. right now."

He's even more bullish on the Valley. "We have this leverage finance bubble like we had in the '20s, and there's an argument that we're headed to something comparable to the '30s," he says. "Where was the best place to be in the '30s? Probably Los Angeles. It was the hub of new media and technology, with the radio and the airplane. Silicon Valley is the L.A. of the 1930s.

Can an American with no official connections to Europe register a .eu domain?
I have an idea for a website about EU laws and would like to register a .eu domain for it. It would be useful both to Europeans and visitors to the EU.

But there are specific requirements to register a .eu tld (similar to ones for .us domains) - be an EU citizen, be doing business in the EU in a verifiable manner, etc. None of which I am currently doing.

Is there any possible way to do this?

Ask HN: Who can build the coolest social database?
We're thinking about setting up a contest on who can build the most useful ClearDB database that utilizes our new CGL language for stored procedures. CGL includes the ability to connect to external web services, such as twitter, facebook, etc. If we do set up this contest, the winner will get a check, but we haven't decided for how much just yet.

Does this sound interesting to you folks?

Android map - What does Google know about your router?
http://samy.pl/androidmap/index.php
android map exposes the data that Google has been collecting from virtually all Android devices and street view cars, using them essentially as global wardriving machines.

When the phone detects any wireless network, encrypted or otherwise, it sends the BSSID (MAC address) of the router along with signal strength, and most importantly, GPS coordinates up to the mothership. This page allows you to ping that database...

Ask HN: Security Analyst Workflows
I am a student of cyber security working toward my CCNA and CISSP certificates. I am very interested in learning more about the average security analyst workflow, whether that be in an NOC, SOC, or just in a normal software developer / sysop toolkit. Specifically, I am interested in what you use in your daily jobs to track, audit, and resolve security issues.

Background: I have read about Security Onion, Metasploitable, and Kali Linux, which give a view into the tools and exploits that exist. That said, I am looking to deepen that knowledge by seeing what people do, and use, in practice.

Ask HN: Recommended CS subjects for someone with a mathematics background?
I graduated a couple of years ago with a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. Since then I've mostly worked in IT/Tech Support. I haven't had much luck finding something to do with my math degree, and don't really have enough programing experience to go directly into a software development job.

I'd like to either go back to school or try to pick up teaching myself where my Computer Science minor left off, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I was wondering if anyone could recommend what fields are in demand and would make the best use of my mathematics background? It seems like machine learning might be a good option, would you agree?

Cisco IOS: Attack & Defense
http://www.ciscozine.com/2009/01/26/cisco-ios-attack-defense/
Surfing the web, I have found a nice talk on Cisco IOS Forensics and Exploits, explained during the 25C3: “Cisco IOS Attack & Defense - The State of the Art“.

What is 25C3?
The 25th Chaos Communication Congress (25C3) is the annual four-day conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). It takes place at the bcc Berliner Congress Center in Berlin, Germany. The Congress offers lectures and workshops on a multitude of topics and attracts a diverse audience of thousands of hackers, scientists, artists, and utopians from all around the world.

Here a summary written by FX
“To summarize the presentation given at the 25C3, the work is aimed at the possibility of performing forensic analysis for Cisco IOS devices. We identified a complete lack of tools and methods for detection of compromized network equipment approximately two years back.

Ask HN: Rate my startup beepl.com (http://alpha.beepl.com)
http://beepl.com/
The best way to get users to answer questions is by matching the right questions with the right people.

Beepl does exactly that by measuring users' interests, their involvement in various topics, the quality of their contribution and the level of their expertise within a specific field.

We call it a social expertise footprint: http://alpha.beepl.com/user/stevenf

Beepl is a bit more like Vark, less like Yahoo! Answers - it's a question platform.

And we've got in twitter too (with the facebook soon to follow): http://alpha.beepl.com/twitter/

Launching in private alpha (or maybe even going live) in September 2010.

What do you think?

PS - I'm getting in new features daily, plus it's running off of a single 0.5GB gogrid instance (nginx), it may be that there're some things temporarily broken....

Thanks,

Jan Paricka

Why we build 7 productivity apps within a month
We launched our new startup a productivity tool Due.work on September 17th on ProductHunt.

Within a month we hit almost 1000+ users. We are a team of 5. We started with a web application and our customer was happily using it. As our user base started growing people started asking for Mobile and Desktop apps.

As time progresses, we recorded something very strange pattern followed by most of our users. So, we decided to study the lifecycle of our users.

We found that when a user signs into Due.work and starts using it. The average first-day analytics for its time spend was between 20-45 minutes. This time starts declining as each day passes and after a week's time spend by our users decline to almost 5 - 10 min.

We went up studying data further and categorize our users into 3 separate groups based on some conditions: Super Active | Active | Inactive Users
Super Active was that user who is using our platform on a daily basis. Active were those who use our platform but spend by less time compared to Super Active users and Inactive users were those who were an Active or Super Active user in the past but became inactive as time progresses.

From the data, we calculated the percentage of these groups which was 20% | 35% |45% that means 45% of our signup users become inactive after some time.

That was an alarming situation for us so, we started talking to our users to find out the exact reason for the same. We find out almost all users using our platform have already used or are currently using Trello, Monday or Basecamp. This was the main reason for our user being inactive over time because it is very difficult for a team to switch to a new productivity solution all of a sudden, It takes time to make the change.

So, we needed something with which our users can feel more connected with us.
Thus we decided to build apps for due.work targetting all platforms.

We end up building due.work apps for Mac os, Windows os, Linux, Android, iOS, Google Extension, and Firefox extension.

During our development we spend many sleepless nights developing it but all it was worth considering we finally end up building apps for all major platforms that we wanted to have.

It's been 2 days now since we have published all our apps. We never have been more than excited before.

Books as Software
http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Memos/Books-as-Software/
From the article:

For decades, we treated software like books. We boxed it, wrapped it, bundled it up and shipped it to stores, where it was displayed on windows. While many commercial software products still share several of these elements, the high-street software store has all but disappeared. Its place has been taken by an increasingly agile deployment method, first from obscure FTP servers but now revolutionized in scale and convenience by the Web. So why shouldn't books move in the same direction?

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/meteotap/6d9ce174-4c60-40f8-a868-ae9802758908
Use your quick reflexes, amazing tapping skills, and ultimate judgement to survive each of 70+ levels, collecting stars and earning medals while you're at it!

+Navigate through all 3 zones with 70+ increasingly challenging levels
+Collect up to 3 stars per level to be awarded with coveted medals
+Use your skills to avoid 3+ types of obstacles, and conquer tricky level designs
+Challenge yourself with Warp Drive mode, moving at 1.5x your normal speed
+Master your ship, and become the only captain to survive this insane obstacle course

What I really tried to do this time was make a game that was of high enough quality to justify putting a price tag on it.
The game is $1.29, but there's a free trial to play the first 10 levels.

Show HN: Host Touchless Menus for Free
https://www.aprmenu.com/
Many restaurants moved to touchless menus during the pandemic. The restaurant owners need a solution to host their existing digital menus (in PDF) online and give QR codes to their customers. When customers scan the QR codes, they can view the menus on mobile and order in person.

I built a website for this simple use case last night. I'm planning to get first 100 users and validate product market fit in next few weeks. The basic functionalities will always be free. I probably will be able to monetize by offering tracking and analytics. I don't know if there is a strong need for ordering food on mobile. Some restaurants certainly do this. However heavy automation in the ordering process creates a different dining experience which may not fit all restaurants.

I'm not a frontend engineer by any means. The UI is very primitive. I can also open source the project if there's any interest.

Hey HN. Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

Inpainter is an open-source web app that lets you do inpainting with Stable Diffusion. You can bring your own source image, erase parts of it, and then the model fill in the blanks. Or you can start with just a text prompt and let the model create the first image.

Under the hood, Inpainter is a Next.js app that uses Replicate's REST API to run the Stable Diffusion model. It's open-source and intended to be a helpful reference for learning how to use the Replicate API from a Node.js app. Contributions welcome. :]
