Ask HN: what do you think of this small proxyserver sideproject? any suggestion?

I just set a side project a couple of hours ago under www.serverproxy.de , will you take a look, make some test, play around and give me some feedback here? Any suggestion/critic is welcome , not sure yet about the monetisation with adsense, but I guess I may go with sponsored Advertising.

Low specs don't matter, but actual features for users do
http://techtainian.com/news/2013/7/2/editorial-why-the-moto-x-will-be-better-than-instant
"Where a company can differentiate is by providing actual useful features for the user. It's not necessary about how powerful the device is, but rather what this piece of tech can do for you that the other device cannot. This is how Motorola will set itself apart from Samsung and HTC. And on a broader point it speaks to Google's future for computing where the specs are obviated and what's of utmost important is the user."

Ask HN: DefCON 18?
Is anyone going to DefCON this year? This is my first time - a bit nervous - but really getting excited from all the information I learn. Have you ever gone / are going?
Ask HN: Technology/tool for tracking Congressional bills?
I've been thinking about this for a while, but I'm not sure if it already exists in some form or another. Is there a tool that Congress (and state and local governments) use for tracking line by line changes publicly of proposed bills at their various revisions? Technology-wise it seems to simply be a group wiki and a very simple problem to solve.

In a 1,000 page bill then you could see exactly what senator inserted which lines (or give group responsibility/credit to a section), and who pushed for what changes. No longer would it simply be about blaming people for who voted for what, but we could have transparency into the process of the actual writing/revision of the bills. Then we would know for sure who was responsible for various lines and items (earmarks) and those could be easily tracked.

Does this exist? Is it in use by the US Congress or any state senates? I can't imagine what citizen would be against this type of transparency of government.
Ask HN: How do you consolidate your chats?
The messaging wars are back. Platforms are everywhere, and they're separated. It's time for a solution.

In 2015, how do I get all my chats, from all my favorite platforms, into a single system under my control? [0]

It's time to find the solution to this problem. I think we need to think outside of the box. Or, more literally, inside the box. I think the answer lies in virtualization technology. Can we come up with an open source solution that virtualizes iOS, Android, Mac, etc. sufficiently enough to be able to run the chat programs and proxy communications to them? Is that possible?

Curious to hear HN's thoughts on the feasibility of this idea. There is a lot of revenue waiting for the business who unifies all the chat platforms.

And again: Is Cloud a Revolution or just an Evolution?
http://www.iamondemand.com/post/13549067852/and-again-is-cloud-a-revolution-or-just-an-evolution
I initiated this discussion in two separate Linkedin groups in different times. The first one was on May this year and the current one is still rolling as we speak. Amazing to see the differences between the winds that blows in each one of the discussions. Reading the comments submitted in the first discussion, you will find that most of the people vote for Evolution. The current discussion seems to have winds of Revolution. This can be because the time that passed and proved everyone that cloud is a revolution, the crowd type, the people roles or it can be just a coincidence.

In any case the total amount of comments for both discussions reach to almost 80! It is fascinating to hear and learn what people think about cloud computing including its current and future development. If we discuss it in a boarder sense, I personally tend to say that the cloud is revolutionary.

Help someone get a BA?  Using slight hacktavism on Facebook?
http://www.facebook.com/profileart
So I'm an art student that is descendant of what is known as net.Art. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net.art

We're a weird group. A Really weird Group. We're much marginalized. We don't know where to go :(

I need an artwork to go viral to work. Really. It's starting to. Slowly. I'd like to see a spike in users who I really don't know. I really need people to starting using the artwork, and having opinions on the artwork.

So this is what it is: It's an open facebook profile that anyone can edit. I do check in. Just to make sure that no one umm, hurts anyone. I'm not mean.

The Login is
dovafacebook@gmail.com

The Password is

psswrd

(yes I did that on purpose)

You can log in and change whatever you want. You can im each other from inside of it. YOu can send wierd messages. You can IM. You Can post pictures. People have.
There is an argument right now whether the profile internally should use pirate english. You can change the language. Be forwarned that it is a profile in flux. Constantly. If you choose to login.

Someone is currently creeped out by the fact that it will cause other people to see his profile who he doesn't know. perhpas it is a she. This is a normal feeling.

Enjoy free art! Friend the profile, use the profile, and pass it on.

Please. Thanks!

I don't know. My own artwork has sent me messages too. It's an artwork of an asynchronous collective being.

Ask HN: Pain points and must-have functionality for Wordpress themes?
I'm considering an opportunity to have a custom Wordpress theme created at a price I can afford. My thought is that I'd make it available for sale using a freemium model.

I know I like them to allow the creation of a more website emphasis as opposed to a blog emphasis, but that's just me What I do will consider that & include both website & blog parts.

II'd like to hear from the HN community what they don't like about currently available selections, & get some input as to what people would be willing to pay for

Thanks

A comprehensive, introductory course on Mindfulness Meditation
http://www.audiodharma.org/series/1/talk/1762/
There seems to be some interest here recently on meditation its beneficial results that are of interest to hackers. Developing the capacity for strong, calm focus and eliminating the detrimental effects of unhelpful mental functions are skills that take practice.

Many of the posts that have been floating around don't give very much substance on the nuts and bolts of how to meditate. Since HN is an erudite crowd of people who don't shy away from detailed topics, a more thorough reference is in order.

This is a 6 part introductory course that should take roughly a month to complete. It is self-paced and costs absolutely nothing. Each week you add on to the foundation you build the week prior. There are 6 lectures covering the topics and practice. Each one is a bit over one hour long and has lecture notes to go along with it.

The teacher's name is Gil Fronsdal. He was ordained as a monk and eventually returned to lay life to get his Ph.D in Buddhist studies from Stanford. He is renowned for being exceptionally clear and simple without sacrificing any detail.

If programming is one of the most powerful tools used for hacking computers, then Mindfulness Meditation is one of the most powerful tools for hacking the brain.

Good luck!

What topics to include in a college iPhone dev class?
http://programminggenin.blogspot.com/2013/01/topics-for-ios-programming-class.html
I will be teaching a one-semester class at a state university in Georgia, USA; the students will be junior and senior undergraduates, with somewhat different backgrounds, but all of them would have taken the intro programming sequence (at least two programming courses, usually using either Java or C#), and an introduction to databases course. Our semesters consist of at least 15 useful weeks; my plan is to have one (or two :) small apps per week as assignments, and one final project at the end.

I have more info and a list of topics I am currently planning at the url above; the main question is

What topics should be included ? Which ones are optional ?

I'm interested in all opinions; if you're a pro now, what topics are more useful ? if you're a student, what would you like to see ?

Ask HN: My company is gearing up for an IPO. What does that mean for me? 
Hey guys,

My company is gearing up for an IPO, and we're all really excited. Many/most in the company don't know, but ti's not a huge secret either. We are the industry leader in our space, and have very healthy numbers.

I guess my main question is this: this was the first startup I worked for, so I've never been through this before. Our employee numbers are in the mid-high hundreds, and I was hired in the first hundred and given a very healthy options package that is now mostly vested (about 10 months left on a 4 year cycle). In the event of an acquisition, I have always tried to operate under the assumption that I would get nothing from my options, but I'm not sure at all what to expect from an IPO. Any ideas?

Thanks!
