I've been thinking about starting a similar service based on requests from clients for various types of monitoring.

Seems like there is lots of competition. And I'm not sure this is an aspirin or a vitamin.
http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-92-12...

But if it's specialized and at the right price provides the right value then why not?

There are lots of services out there bringing in $100k/yr that are niche and even when seeing their shared revenue numbers I'm always surprised it's possible.

If it's something you enjoy working on and think you can market it go for it.

Looks like you're building this in PHP, check out the Laravel Framework, cashier is built in for connecting with stripe, Spark ($100 per major release) is close to SaaS in a box, checkout homestead/valet for local dev, and forge for server creation/deployment. (if you haven't already).

Good luck, keep us updated.
Is this not simply the continued slide into the Trough of Disillusionment[1]?

Lots of buzzword-toting entrepreneurs lined their pockets with VC money in 2014-15. Many of those investments will have been bad ones (as with most VC bets). Yet the engine of capitalism and innovation rolls on. The Bitcoin genie is out of the lamp.

Time to settle in for $N months/years of negative PR & industry consolidation after which we should see some very interesting things emerge :-)

Vacuum tubes and transistors have different failure modes. If you apply high voltage to a vacuum tube, it will arc and warm up, but not sustain much damage. Do the same with a transistor and it will promptly turn into a resistor.

> The past year or two, however, wikileaks has failed to produce anything of substance.

Is this due to Assange? Or due to the war on whistleblowers? Given the resource constraints of WL, Assange must choose between publishing unredacted information and not publishing at all.

If Assange had not reached out to the worldwide mainstream press, I'd fault him for releasing unredacted material. But the press (and shamefully, the NY Times in particular) has rebuffed Assange and been unwilling to produce investigative stories handed to them on a platter by Assange (via leaked info).

To understand this we must turn to the basic power relationship and realize that major news outlets are largely state propaganda outlets, or at least prefer to act in this role most of the time. Assange did not likely expect this. I certainly didn't, as it seems too cynical a view... of course the NY Times would want to publish details revealing corruption or lies committed by our most trusted officials...

It's easy to vilify Assange and to assume an emotional motive for everything he publishes. Assange's goal is the legitimization of Wikileaks and its maturation into a respected news institution. He cannot get there (especially given his resource constraints) by playing politics. While he does occasionally make a divisive comment, he generally lets the leaked documents speak (unredacted) for themselves.

Well have you read the literature on calorie restriction? It increased longevity by a lot -- in mice.

So intermittent fasting also amounts to calorie restriction if you don't binge later.

Everyone's metabolism is different, though. Intermittent fasting can lead to weight loss and avoiding obesity-related problems later. Most people here, being developers or knowledge workers of some kind, probably work late and skip breakfast often, so they do it naturally.

With a "fad" like this, by the time all the research is in 100 years later, it might be too late to try. This is a life decision.

I happened to catch an a16z podcast on (the original) disruption theory the other day. They clarified the theory in a way that, perhaps, Blockchain advocates would appreciate right now.

The original theory was specifically exploring why market leaders can be overtaken by a new player. "Disruption" is not just a revolutionary tech -- cars and the iphone don't qualify as disruptive, in the original theory's definition. Disruption occurs when you find a niche market that's too low-revenue for the current leader to engage. The niche is often a small market that doesn't need the leader's full solution ("low-end") or which simply wasn't targeted at all ("new-market"). A disruptor will engage those niches because they can survive on the low revenue, win their markets, and use that to sustain growth into larger markets, until they become a new leader.

(The Wikipedia summary is pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation#Theory)

If you're looking for the Blockchain to disrupt, by the original idea of disruption, you shouldn't be looking at serving the same market that a bank does. You should be looking for a low-end or unserved niche -- which is especially smart for FinTech, which is inherently risk-sensitive, and so needs a lower-risk market to mature.
It depends on your needs. Clearly in my case: nope, not a problem. Otherwise I would have changed. And I think your use of the word "default" is appropriate; what I do most of the time is not what I do 100% of the time... there are exceptions.

In those cases where I might need to manually enter a passphrase and I can't rely on the password manager functionality, I use a pass-sentence that is both long and includes some random characters thrown in. That can still get me to 100 characters pretty easily. But those cases a fairly rare for me. I'm also only very, very rarely using a device that I don't own (ok, I do access systems I don't own frequently, but using my device... ssh, etc).

Most of the time my 100 character default doesn't give me any greater security than your 14 characters (assuming they're well constructed or random passwords) and things like multi-factor auth are often times much more important anyway. There are some times it can be useful; sometimes I can remember a 14 character password just by looking at it, even if it's random and not mine. 100 characters I can't. Since password managers can rely on things like cut and paste, rarely, but occasionally, I might accidentally paste a password somewhere I don't mean to: at 14 characters I might not notice, but at 100 I more likely will (or overrun the field and lose a piece of it anyway). At the end of the day, I have a password manager and I'm going to turn it to 11 and let it run. My personal practices are not necessarily my recommendations in this area, but they suit my needs.

Either way, my point still stands: if you build software that takes passwords and you limit the length (or can't take longer passwords), provide meaningful feedback if your requirements are exceeded... makes me wonder what else I might be able to do if you didn't expect me to exceed your password length and respond properly.

The author's claim that truffle oil is just olive oil and and added scent doesn't match up with my experiences. Truffle oil tastes totally different from olive oil, and I don't like the flavor.

The oil being artificially flavored is much less of a con than not being any different from olive oil.
Chomsky's politics have gotten him nearly blacklisted by mainstream media sources. They have not impacted his academic career in any meaningful way that I can detect. In fact, they have almost certainly amplified his fame and notoriety amongst academic circles, including in Linguistics, which has similar politics to most of the rest of academia i.e. it is extremely left wing.

as for the man's personality and interpersonal relationships, he is quite calm, even-tempered, and respectful. he is not known for ad hominem attacks or public meltdowns. quite the opposite. he's a bit dry and boring to be honest.

as someone who appears to be claiming a bit of experience in the olive oil area,

> leave it soaking for a month or two in good olive oil

I've heard an olive oil merchant explain that olive oil has a range of complex flavors of its own, but that it has a relatively short shelf life before it becomes genericized and boring, and loses the majority of its flavor and complexity and such.

Is there any truth to that?
You may be right but I think it's very unlikely. Firstly, they already fit a jack into the same form factor and this wouldn't have been the first water resistant device with an audio jack i.e. these were solved problems. I don't believe they would go through all this effort because they couldn't be bothered to work out how to fit an audio jack back in.

If I were to guess it's either because they just like the idea of one connector that does everything (I get the impression that's what Thunderbolt was for). Either that or this a step towards a fully wireless strategy. As I quite like the idea of the latter, I'm going to assume it's that until evidence refutes it.

CrackStation's Password Cracking Dictionary (2010)
Very tricky. Who you allow to stay in your home is a very personal and grave decision and people want as much information about the potential guests as possible. If they were to take this a step further and remove guest pictures altogether, I suspect that you'd see a mass flight to a competing platform.

For people who are renting out their primary home (and especially if they'll be there at the same time as the guest), I don't think it's ever right to challenge their decision to accept or deny a guest.

But someone running a number of units as full-time rentals should be held to anti-discrimination laws.

> His password: netflix pA5$word the net is flickering

I don't get it that you say that "netflix" in this password has no more worth than a single character. How can the cracker know that this is "netflix" and not "netfli " or "neTflix"?

Furthermore, it's not like the password reveals itself during the process. Untill all characters are found, there should be no logic in the result, or am I wrong?
The ad injection thing is a recent change for even residential customers and it's pervasive. Forget Forbes.com: many sites recommended by Google Now have suddenly sprouted full screen buzzing ads with no close button.

Previously I avoided the worst of Comcast's shenanigans by running my own squid proxy plus a DNS resolver that pointed to Google as I already have an Android phone so it's not like my DNS searches are novel to Google.

The good news is (for now) you can just close the popup tab but since these popups could easily be malware adverts I've switched to firefox with ad blocking to regain control of my phone.

Yeah, well after having a multi-day house party thrown in my Houston home by a local guy that had the gall to write "God Bless you" several times before the rental, and Airbnb doing nothing about the damages (huge scratches on brand new $5K bedroom suite, a frigging water-logged kitchen ceiling, cabinet doors torn off hinges, etc.) we will no longer rent to any local, of any race. Anyone that rents my house is going to prove they are an out-of-town traveler. At the end of the day, the owner should have the final word on their house.

>Airbnb said it would also accelerate the use of instant bookings, which lets renters book places immediately without host approval.

Maybe I'm naive but it seems like that policy would be perceived by hosts as extremely hostile. Homeowners have both a financial and emotional vested interest in their homes so letting strangers book it without a cursory check isn't going to work. Having no checks would work for real estate holders who aren't emotionally attached to their homes but not homeowners who live in the same house they rent.

Even if it's irrational and discriminatory, homeowners want to maintain some semblance of control over who stays at their home. It's the homeowner who has to pay for damages/misbehavior -- whether directly or by home insurance deductibles and higher premiums. (As I understand it, AirBnb's coverage guarantee only kicks in
after the homeowner exhausts his personal insurance.)

Does anyone know the bulk of AirBnb's business revenue? Is it homeowners renting out a spare bedroom? Or is it people renting out non-owner occupied beach houses and lofts?

EDIT ADD: Every time an AirBnb thread about racism comes up, many commenters are confused or ignorant about what the law actually says. To copypaste a previous comment:

Those anti-discrimination laws don't apply to hosts' private homes or bedrooms.[1] Paraphrase of law: "All persons shall be entitled ..., and accommodations of any place of public accommodation,..., without discrimination ... other than ... a building which contains not more than five rooms for rent ... which is actually occupied by the proprietor ... as his residence"

In other words, if a homeowner has a spare bedroom across the hall from her 13-year-old son's room, and doesn't want to rent to transgender, black, or 65-year-old guests, it is legal for her to discriminate on those attributes.

On the other hand, if the AirBnb host is renting out a non-owner-occupied beach house, the discrimination laws would apply.

Actually from what I understood about intermittent fasting it is way better than simply eating less.

I'm not a doctor but the mechanisms by which the body burns fat is that it has to send the proper signaling at a cellular level. If you listen to the video here starting at 1h03: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PdJFbjWHEU

Though the video is to understand how energy is used and stored for workout reasons it explains a bit the mechanism whereby the body decides to store fat or convert it to phosphates for semi-immediate use.

I'm convinced that intermittent fasting turns off the body fat storage mechanism and turns on the burn fat mechanism. Unfortunately if you only eat less you never send the signals to your body that it needs to stop storing fat. An intermittent fast is therefore way better than just eating less.

For me intermittent fasting means not eating breakfast and eating around 12h30. I've lost 14 pounds this way and I'm finding it really easy to skip a meal now where I couldn't do it without having a headache before.

US governments have failed to foster and create a globally competitive ecosystem in which US manufacturing can fluorish.

Do we have new and more efficient ways to handle industrial waste?

Have we improved our transportation infrastructure so that raw materials can move more cheaply than in past decades?

Has government found less expensive and more fair ways to manage worker injuries and grievances (aside from lawsuits)? Has government reformed health care so that workers can take these manufacturing jobs without fear of being financially overwhelmed by medical bills should they be injured?

Are there tax or other incentives to create clusters of related manufacturing businesses in close proximity to one another?

Are their cleverly designed policies/regulations that US governments can use to legally (as far as the WTO is concerned) favor local industry?

I don't see this sort of reform happening in any significant way (except maybe Obamacare, which requires a lot of government subsidies in the form tax credits).

Where is the actual industrial policy innovation and reform in this country?
