Q: Is SPDY a replacement for HTTP?

A: No. SPDY replaces some parts of HTTP, but mostly augments it. At the highest level of the application layer, the request-response protocol remains the same. SPDY still uses HTTP methods, headers, and other semantics. But SPDY overrides other parts of the protocol, such as connection management and data transfer formats.

Three approaches come to mind:

1) Sell professional support

This is how most open source software companies make money. This usually includes some horrendous subscription fee and guaranteed SLAs.

I never quite understood, why this works. My only explanation is, that many customers are comfortable with this, because this is what they are used to from buying proprietary software.

2) Sell a hosted version

This is classic SaaS. If you find a way to automate setup of instances of your software and offer this for an attractive price, this could appeal to people who shy away from the cost of running their own server and installing and maintaining the software.

I firmly believe that SaaS and Open Source do not contradict each other, but I only know one example that seems to be successful: http://www.teambox.com

3) Open Core

Sell a paid version of your software that has features not in the open source version. This is generally frowned upon by open source people, and rightfully so. At least you run the risk of destroying the healthy developer community you seem to have.

In your case, I would gather that you have a huge advantage when it comes to choosing the right approach. If you know who owns the hundreds of sites that already run your software then you already know some of your potential customers.

Talk to them and try to find out why they use your software, if they make any revenue of it, what their pain points are (if any) and what they would be willing to pay for.

This fairly accurately describes the current IPv6 situation. For his specific points:

* Hardware: this is a huge problem. Apple's routers support IPv6 just fine, but most of the other stuff is a mess. D-Link supports it in some revisions of some of their routers, but even then doesn't support IPv6 firewalling, opening up your whole network to the public

* Sites not working / testing: Facebook and others are currently pretty busy with testing IPv6. This unfortunately means that sometimes you'll get failures, like with the bit.ly. The Facebook thing is still only a test setup, which you explicitly use yourself, so you'll see issues there too

* Privacy: While it's a bit of a concern in some current implementations, everybody is moving towards enabling Privacy Extensions by default, which should mitigate this. Using your MAC address as a public identifier is IMHO a dumb idea, as you'll be able to be tracked across networks, people can determine what kind of hardware you're using, and it works for protocols outside of HTTP too (as you don't require cookies).

So, while the current situation is bumpy, I think this is a sign that people are actually working on IPv6 to implement it and improve it, rather than ignoring the IPv4 exhaustion altogether, so I guess it's a good sign.
As an aside, the article author used ADSL from http://www.goscomb.net/. We don't use Goscomb for our ADSL, but we do have a VPS with them and they have always been absolutely incredible.

Here's the classic reference to the problem in Locke (which vindicates Locke's speculative answer here):

http://books.google.com/books?id=vjYIAAAAQAAJ&dq=essay%2...

> To which purpose I shall here insert a problem of that very ingenious and studious promoter of real knowledge, the learned and worthy Mr. Molineux, which he was pleased to send me in a letter some months since; and it is this: "Suppose a man born blind, and now adult, and taught by his touch to distinguish between a cube and a sphere of the same metal, and nighly of the same bigness, so as to tell, when he felt one and the other, which is the cube which the sphere. Suppose then the cube and sphere placed on a table, and the blind man made to see; quaere, Whether by his sight, before he touched them, he could now distinguish, and tell, which is the globe, which the cube?" To which the acute and judicious proposer answers: "Not. For though he has obtained the experience of, how a globe, how a cube, affects his touch; yet he has not yet attained the experience, that what affects his touch so or so, must affect his sight so or so; or that a protuberant angle in the cube, that pressed his hand unequally, shall appear to his eye as it does in the cube." I agree with this thinking gentleman, whom I am proud to call my friend, in his answer to this his problem; and am of opinion, that the blind man, at first sight, would not be able, with certainty, to say, which was the globe, which the cube, whilst he only saw them; though he could, unerringly, name them by his touch, and certainly distinguish them by the difference of their figures felt.
If this were the case, every single aspect of our world would be radically different. It is an impossible question to answer satisfactorily. It is debatable if life as we know it would evolve in such a universe. Among other things, there might be no relationship between cause and effect. It rapidly becomes impossible to even talk about the consequences of such a setup, we do not have the required vocabulary, nor the cognitive structured needed to even contemplate it.

That's a very bold thing to claim, Australia is a very big place, cities such as Sydney and Melbourne were doing well last year, Sydney still reported positive growth for the last quarter.

Although the Jan/Feb lending figures were indeed indicative of a slowdown, for NSW(where Sydney is) at least, they have rebounded somewhat in the latest AFG figures:

In order for this toxin to be dangerous to humans, the average aquarist would need to ingest the zoanthid in sufficient quantities, or brush a recent cut over it. Average handling, propagation and aquarium maintenance is unlikely to pose any danger beyond a localized skin reaction.[citation needed] A 2010 study found toxic zoanthids in three Washington D.C. area aquarium stores.[7]

Thailand Hacker House 
I wanted to gauge interest in starting a Hacker House in Thailand. A Hacker House is a co-working and/or co-habiting space for hackers.

I've been living in Thailand for a year now and its an ideal location for development. The cost of living is low, or a relatively high standard of living is available at a low cost. Peaceful locations are abundant and western comforts are not far away.

There aren't a lot of startup or tech-oriented people around though so an integral part of the idea is to create a small community of smart and creative people.

If it sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can post comments here, or contact me at my gmail address (thailandstartup) - if there's enough interest I'll start fleshing out a more concrete idea and putting a plan together.

Adding socks support to everything is just as daunting as supporting a migration to ipv6 via transition mechanisms such as 6to4/6in4 and leaves us with something that is even MORE restrictive and less scalable than NAT. It also provides no upgrade path to solve these issues (it is much easier to switch from 6(to|in)4 to native ipv6 than socks to anything). This is not a workable solution.

Yes; the crucial question is whether consoles will exceed what customers can use (i.e. overserve/overshoot).

There exists evidence that it's happening already: xbox360 and ps3 are quite old, but still selling very well, despite PCs growing more and more powerful (a longer gap than previous generations); the popularity of nintendo wii (though I believe sales are much less now); the popularity of simple online flash games; the popularity of xbox "arcade" games (some of which were web games). This has been discussed on HN before.

If your customers don't need more performance, it doesn't matter how more you offer them. Yes, disruption.
Over time I would expect Android to become the budget choice with Apple picking off the high margin segment of the market. Indeed, this is the current market configuration that we see in the PC / Mac market.

The PC market covers from "budget" choices to the high margin segment, as it always has. That Apple is limited to one small segment of the market in no way implies that they own it.

Which is exactly the case with smartphones. There are many cheaper devices running Android, yet there are many hot-selling Android devices that are as expensive as the iPhone. I expect that balance to remain, as there will always be makers like HTC trying to cover all their bases.
Yep, another one a few minutes ago.

Yes, the three words that define the last 10 years (in this context) are: exceptional, entitled, and special. Many people are merely average.

The devaluation of vo-tech schools also contributes to the bubble. Much of the CS technical skill training (like configuring a router, network planning, etc) needs to moved to vocational technical schools. You don't need a 4-year masters degree (nor the student debt) to do basic design and troubleshooting.

I think I'll go ahead and contact existing users and see if there's a business opportunity there.

Regarding the 3 approaches:

1. Support is tough and it's not scalable. Maybe we could make a living out of it, but barely stay afloat.

2. We've actually built a prototype of a hosted version, but when we looked at the numbers (cashflow projections), they didn't look too good. However, it's still the one approach I believe can work.

3. Oh, we did that almost 2 years ago and it was a disaster. We created a premium version, with a few important extra features, and sold licenses. We sold 5 of them in 2 months. Our focus shifted towards the premium version and we neglected the open-source version. The community was angry, we were loosing "karma" and not even earning money.

The bit that confuses me is the list he included of what an SEO needs to do. It seems to me that as an SEO he's actually forgotten what his job is. There's a lot in that list that have absolutely nothing to do with SEO.

The clue is in the name SEO. Search Engine Optimization. Out of the entire list, only a third are SEO.

This is something I've seen SEO people and UX people do in so many blogs. They're not really sure what their job is so they pick a bunch of fun business stuff they'd actually like to be doing, that they have little or no experience in and call it SEO/UX. Then they can work on fun stuff which a business doesn't actually need, possibly already cover in house or should be paying a professional to do.

Actually SEO:

Keyword research + targeting - SEO

On-page optimization - SEO.

Making the site search-engine friendly - SEO.

XML Sitemaps - SEO.

Alternative search listings - SEO

Not SEO:

The business' overall product, marketing and sales strategy and where SEO makes the most sense. - This is marketing. Nothing to do with SEO at all. The last phrase does, but it's pretty obvious where. Hint, hint. On the website.

Funnel optimization - UX. While it might have an effect on SEO, it is not something an SEO should be touching.

Testing + optimizing content for users - UX. Nothing to do with SEO.

Content strategy - Marketing. Nothing to do with SEO.

Analytics - Not SEO. It can measure the effect of SEO, but isn't SEO.

Usability + user experience issues - UX. Definitely not SEO.

Reputation tracking + management - PR. Definitely not SEO.

Competitive research - Management consultancy, should be handled internally by small business at a director level. Definitely not SEO.

Social media marketing - PR/Marketing. Not SEO. Pretty big clue in the name there, with it ending with marketing.

Syndication, scraping, copyright and duplicate content issues - Legal. Not SEO. Unless it starts ranking higher than your sites.

I wouldn't mind having someone do the second list for me. But it's still not SEO.
So you'd effectively have pockets of IPv4 space bordered by SOCKS proxies. If this would be done hierarchically, you need proxy chaining to connect to a server on a different network.

It's a kludge. I can't see how it would be preferable in any way to a single global "namespace".
That's not entirely true.

Adding features to operating systems is easy - IPv6 support has been in all the major OSes for years. Getting it out there wasn't that hard but getting people to use it has proven to be a different matter entirely, largely because it is not backwards compatible with IPv4 and because of the resulting chicken-and-egg situation.

With something like this, you could upgrade your OS, then upgrade you router, and see immediate benefit. Or you could skip upgrading your router and use an in-the-cloud provider instead. It's much, much easier.

I think we're going to see people explore application-layer proxying (things like Tor, my http://pagekite.net/, this SOCKS idea) more and more as the IPv4 shortage starts to have an impact. Sure it's less efficient and it may feel messy, but it works surprisingly well.
I'll look into adding this ability, I tried enabling it today; however, it just wouldn't work. It added the icon to the player to go to full screen, but it simply would work. Glad you've had a use for the app and thanks for using it!
Security lessons to learn from the Epsilon data breach
That is why I have patched it. For example, it uses `dns-sd` instead of `avahi-publish-service`. Registering seems to work, at least iTunes shows it. But there is no single connection attempt, so everything else (all the C-code etc.) is anyway unrelated because it doesn't even get there.

Maybe it refuses to connect because it is the same (localhost) machine? I don't have another machine at hand to try out right now.

College professors are tenured, not unionized.

Many are both. At Rutgers, everyone is represented by the AAUP. At NYU, the TAs are represented by the UAW.

(I'm not cherrypicking Rutgers/NYU, I just worked at both.)
the point of a setup like 6in4 is that you don't need to upgrade your intermediate infrastructure either, you can get ipv6 right now (anyone with an ipv4 address can actually). And it does not have the serious downsides of a socks based approach.
Adding SOCKS to NAT boxes and to client devices is easier than IPv6, I warrant; SOCKS is a dead simple protocol, and the client can be slid into the sockets library without the app having to care.

And that's it. There's no need for ISPs to route you IPv6, or to set up tunnels. No need for dual stacks and AAAA records. No need for service providers to provide IPv6 access to their servers.

SOCKS is less restrictive than NAT - the client can know about it and find their external IP/port, it allows incoming connections, it lets the gateway device authenticate users and give them differing quality of service, etc.
What are the legal details on publishing sensitive or classified material in time of peace, if you are not constrained to silence by your duties? I don't know that that's ever been seriously treated in the US.

Having been part of one of the M&A teams mentioned, I'll second that. We used to talk a lot about "real" sites vs. those that were built around practices that made them rank quickly. I'll note that none of those teams are perfect (nor are any sites that I looked at), but black-hat tactics are a huge part of the deal analysis.

as stated above, with an approach like 6in4 there is no need for your ISP to route ipv6, or even be aware of its existence.
CyanogenMod 7.0 Released
It has the downside that it is pretty much useless. :-)

Until lots of people have IPv6, an IPv6 address doesn't have any benefit. It's a catch-22 situation.

With an IPv4 reverse proxy solution (socks or otherwise), you can run a server right now and it will be visible to everyone, right away.
swig + libpcap should get you there for any mainstream language (assuming you're on a real OS.)
