Ask HN: How does Stripe or AWS's api work in regards to being secure?
To my understanding, when interacting with AWS or Stripe, the client has a public and private key. The Client connects to the API w/ these values and the server generates and sends back a session token.
When the client wants to make a call, it encrypts the session key with the public and private key, then the server decrypts the message, and verifies the session key matches it up for the corresponding user (or does it just pass the session key?)

I am curious on the lower-level details in creating a similar secure implementation.. for example, what's typical in setting an expiration date for the public, private and session keys..
How does the client initially get the private key?..
what's the best hash for generating the keys, what cipher to use when encrypting the data..
/ what the full steps are from start to finish.

How detailed the requirements should be?
http://marekblotny.com/2011/07/how-detailed-the-requirements-should-be/
If you ask developers how detailed the requirements should be, they will tell you that they want to know exactly what clients want to get. And this is good! Vague, high level, general requirements are not going to work for them. However clients have slightly different approach to this matter ...

A Gift for the Hackers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okhfDsKmAoY
IT companies are failing to secure devices connected to the internet, leaving them open to hackers. This shocking report reveals how anything from your pins to your passport could now be accessed online.<p>"Is this your pin? Is this a letter you received from your bank? Do you have a HP e-Print scanner?" The young man answers yes to every question, stunned that all of his information was accessible on the internet for anyone who wanted to see it. And he's not alone: the wealth of information available is staggering. From shop owners whose security cameras can be watched and controlled remotely, to medical records and confidential documents for international companies like Unilever, Orange and KLM, it's a bonanza for any would-be hackers. While it would be simple for the IT firms who provide printers, scanners and software to make the system more secure, they don't see it as their problem and argue that attending to basic safety protocols is a bit of a marketing nightmare. "There are people who know all about how this works, security-wise, but it's too much trouble to explain all that." One company went so far as to call consumers who didn't know they had to change their passwords "idiots". As the rate of technological change continues at a frightening pace, do technology companies have a duty to prevent our privacy being eroded?<p>For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=64861

Presenting a unique CMS w/chat, bots, link aggregator, rss, and more
http://github.com/ambiversive/asg/
Features:<p>* OOP/MySQL/PHP/HTML/CSS/JS/Jquery/scrollTo+LocalScroll
* Documents organized in tree hierarchy, each document can act as directory
* Every edit of a document saves a new revision with the old document
* Chat integrated (chat notifies of cms events, uses long polling)
* Aspect oriented (aspects can be toggled with commands or in sets- a user's aspect can be refreshed from the server by setting an aspect_preference variable to 2 (0 means off, 1 means on, 2 means needs refresh)
* Command line (defaults to chat input, commands begin with forward slash)
* Bots (Bot commands can be added as easily as adding a document in the appropriate place, bots can execute code. Bots respond to users they are focused on, when active.)
* User-selectable stylesheets + individual css rules (styles are editable within the CMS, individual style rules are applied after loading style, added with /set body background black)
* Easy to add new commands (/addcom) (commands are stored in CMS as javascript and loaded at runtime)
* All aspects and commands are listed with /help
* Aspects are remembered between sessions (ie: looks the way you left it)
* All aspects, documents, commands, and users have access levels
* Uses Ace editor for editing documents
* DB info stored in database/config.php - run the .sql then login with admin/admin
* Integrated link aggregator with full cache (fetches link with wget)
* Integrated RSS feed parser using lastRss.php (in progress)
* One aspect is called the 'metabrowser' which is an iframe that loads a URL on command (usage: /bload http://reddit.com or /meta) .. the url is also remembered between sessions.
* There is an interesting JS function called 'simcom' which simulates a user typing into the command line- works for both commands and chat messages. Usage: asgConfig.simcom('chat message or command!')<p>Get the source [here](http://github.com/ambiversive/asg/).<p>If you want to see a demo go [here](http://improvise.it/core), although it is not secure enough to let me let you edit docs with it.

Is your startup an indie or a major?
http://www.drownout.com/blogdrwn/2009/10/is_your_startup_and_indie_or_a.html#000875
The Nobels in Economics today recognize some of the social science contributions outside the normal "markets work!" analysis that hold the core doctrines of the dismal science.
There is a fascinating branch led by the hero William Baumol and more recent contributors like Tyler Cowen that studies another surprising realm: arts and culture.

The basic insight is that economics applies here too. Technology and market structure can totally change the products we see. Think Model T or Toyota Corolla or the Prius or Hummer. Tastes alone don't dictate industrial production thought it's an ingredient.

The most striking upshot of analyzing opera and poetry and movies and pop songs this way: when the product is 'cheap to make' the winners in the category rarely get rich and instead call themselves artists (poetry, novels, paintings); when it is expensive to make OR TO DISTRIBUTE then it's a business where people get rich, raise tons of capital, crush hapless new entrants. Think Hollywood (CGI, special effects, locations, huge crews, stars, marketing budgets, national theatrical release). Some of these are fading (digital is cheaper than film) but they are enough for Hollywood to stay rich for now....

UBM TechWeb's Cloud Connect Brings Together Entire Cloud Ecosystem
Ask HN: Is there any way for an app to detect all installed apps on iOS device?
I usually download apps by a referral from a friend. S/he says "X is so good, you should have it." and I immediately download the app. I believe friend referral is a great validation to create the initial incentive.

I see people share screenshot of their home screen to show the apps they frequently use. But it'd be nice to have an standalone app (maybe there is, I couldn't find) in which you can see all the apps that specific user is currently using. And get notified when someone you trust just downloaded the app, like "pg is just downloaded XXX."

I tried to find a solution, but I couldn't find a decent one. I think Apple does not allow to get such data from user's device. I tried to get the user's purchase history, but this also seems impossible to proceed on.

Any ideas or possible hacks to solve this problem ? I just want to brainstorm on this together.

Thanks.
