Modern English is a hodgepodge of a variety of languages. The history of the language is really quite interesting, and I suggest anyone look into it if they have interest. If you try to read pre-Norman English today, you'd be hopelessly lost (unless you were previously trained to do so). Take a look at the original text of Beowulf and compare it to, say, the Canterbury Tales. The Canterbury Tales is a rough read; Beowulf is unintelligible.
I'm sure they had a reason, but I suspect a lot of it is that they lacked sufficient technical expertise, rather than it being a deliberate decision of an informed individuals. That they didn't encrypt all the information at their hideout indicates a lack of technical knowledge.

That said, you're right that they're extremely good at hiding via more conventional means.

In his defense I know lots of developers doing small webapps they intend to keep on life support and not actively work at growing in an attempt to hit their magic mark for what their monthly budget / expenses are. This may not be the attitude of the majority of HNers but lots of people would be happy with a way to make 2500$ a month for themselves... Just enough to maintain a modest quality of life in the midwest.
Because lot of people would rather consume porn rather than burger, and those same people would rather flip burgers rather than produce porn, is why porn is so profitable.

If that was not the case, porn would have been as cheap as dozons of say, ERP applications.
What does a "recurring billing system" do? I'm new to this, but all I did for now was to store PayPal's (actually the clone that exists in my country) transactions in my database, and bump the "good_until" timestamp when a new payment is received (via POST in my case).

While many of the best and brightest try their hand with media companies, the bane of the American economy – health care – is begging for talent and innovation.

"Health Care" and the medical industry are not the same thing and that's one of the biggest mental blocks America has. I did the homemaker and full-time mom thing for 2 decades and it allowed me to keep my son with cystic fibrosis remarkably healthy in spite of not having a diagnosis until late in life. Later we were both diagnosed. Because I did the full time mom thing for so long and my idea of "health care" included things like cooking and cleaning (instead of drugs and surgeries), I was able to get well after spending a year at death's door.

I've got your health care talent and innovation right here: http://healthgazelle.com/ and it has nothing to do with the current medical industry.

Now I just need to grow it, learn to write code and create a more information-dense delivery mechanism (aka game).
They care, we win. There are some losing edge cases, the lack of Source SDK on Mac is the only thing I would use Windows for. There are so many content producers on Macs, so much could be done with a cross platform SDK (plus we'd get another 20 free games).

True, although the rules of grammar and construction have not changed as dramatically as the vocabulary, spellings, or pronunciations have. Gramatically and syntactically speaking, English is still quite Germanic. That's why it is (supposedly) easy for a native English speaker to learn Dutch or German; their conjugations and sentence structures are more intuitive to us than those of the Romance languages.
My strange, brief career as a video-game obscenity watchdog.
I am working on a simple system of that sort. I'm not sure I trust myself using crypto, so consider it a proof-of-concept. The system provides key-based domains, and allows sites to update them automatically over http or distribute them through websites.

This system can also work alongside ordinary DNS. When it is running, any domain you visit can provide a record and a public key. If the DNS record changes in future but the signed record isn't updated to match, the user continues to use the signed record.

The first version is probably going to be an HTTP proxy, but I'd like to make it a browser plugin if I can figure out how (it looked more difficult than I expected).

Example Scenario:

- I'm running wikileaks.com. I generate a key and upload a signed record with the IP.

- Clients visit wikileaks.com and automatically download the record and associate the key with the domain.

- Government sizes wikileaks.com domain.

- Clients are redirected to wikileaks.com-via-a-long-generated-domain...

- Clients are able to visit the site without interruption.

- I now register wikileaks.ch, and I use my key to sign an updated record with the new domain.

- Clients check wikileaks.ch and associate it with the key, then redirect any requests to wikileaks.com or the-long-generated-domain... to to wikileaks.ch.

I will provide a link when it's a little more complete.
I like it (excerpt):

"I never hung around geeks much," Mike Tyson tells Fast Company. But when Tyson met John and Sam Shahidi, founders of RockLive, and they flew him out to South By Southwest in Austin, Texas, to meet a herd of techies, many of whom grew up playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, the champ was smitten. "Afterward, when I dropped him off at the airport, he was literally teary eyed," John Shahidi says. The heavyweight champion of the world had just been surrounded by enthusiastic gamers, programmers, and nerds. "He looked at me and said, 'John, I've never done anything like this in my life.'"

In order to deliver on the promise of decentralization it seems every client must have its own copy by default instead of relying on a trusted authority.

No, you just need enough servers to make it unlikely any one entity could gain over 50% of the computing power on the network. So if there were 1 million simple clients and only 10,000 clients with a full block chain, then any attacker would have to exceed the computing power of those 10,000 full clients in order to subvert the network.

my understanding of bitcoin is that a given bitcoin network requires a central IRC server for command/control of miners

IRC is just used as a way of getting a list of initial peers to connect to the network. It has nothing to do with command/control of miners.

Why Cloud is Like Email in the 1980's
From http://www.mashmarketing.co.uk/blog/2010/02/12/friday-inspir..., via an old HN post(?):

"Get creative with compensation–use the iPhone Payment Plan. Imagine you’re a highly-trained software engineer. A crazy guy with a “startup” (i.e. me) approaches you about doing some work. Scenario #1: Dude, I’ll pay you $2,000 for 150 hours of work…3-4 months from now. Scenario #2: Dude, promise to build this and I’ll give you an iPhone right now [and] pay your phone bill. [...] We tried both approaches [...] and [...] Scenario #2 [...] actually worked out a lot better. There’s something about the psychology of receiving a cool gadget that doesn’t quite equal out to the cash equivalent. Also, paying up for the iPhone upfront fosters trust, which in turn boosts productivity."

Offices use RFID key fobs with local, dedicated hardware. An internet connected mobile phone based entry system is too complex, and will have particular difficulty integrating into the existing supply/service chain for these kind of systems.

We really, really don't need mobile phone based key unlock systems. I een considered building one for our home, but diacarded the idea due to the user experience complexity of having to use my phone instead of a simple key (but still carrying a key in case of failure).

As for Airbnb users, all you need is a programmable keypad (or an RFID entry system.)

This is a solved problem.

I can see the changes Facebook has made in how people communicate right now. This is not a prediction, I can observe it. I know people who no longer use email and exclusively use Facebook for online communication. They share vacation photos with their family and friend sthrough Facebook. They announce life-changing events through Facebook. I, personally, have maintained communication with people that normally I would have just stopped talking to. These are not hypotheticals. These are real, actual changes in how I and others communicate. Facebook has an order of magnitude more users than the previous attempts - Friendster and MySpace - and is able to have much more impact than them because of it.

If you're working in the same space as Facebook, you're not doing yourself any favors by denying its impact. One, it harms your perspective, and two, it harms your credibility.
You need a phone to make and receive phone calls, among other things. That's why you already have it. You don't need the key for anything but opening your front door. The point of this device is to obviate the need to carry that key all day for that single moment it's needed.

We are a generation of fluff and polish.

Today's most celebrated young 'engineer' is Mark Zuckerberg, creator of a really cool way to rank hot chicks, measure faux popularity and extend the social dyamics of high school into the real world. We make dramatically scored movies about his trials and ultimate triumph and rank Facebook as the greatest company to emerge in the last half-decade with a $50bn valuation.

Where is our Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla or even Howard Hughes? Is it Steve Jobs and his charisma? What we consider innovation has taken the form of the iPhone and the iPad, fancier toys in polished packages with glaringly less functionality than is a technical possibility today, conveniently dumbed-down so it is easier to keep us not thinking too hard and, God-forbid, doing anything really imaginative.

Sure there is interesting work being done out there in green energy, space, biotech and nanotechnology research. These were all conceivable decades ago. We are unable to create good science fiction anymore because our imagination is just as bad as it was in the 1800s. My God, they built driverless cars that work, why isn't that game-changing Google spin-off the hot new company of the decade? Does anyone even know the name of the former Stanford Professor whose work could lower accident rates, eliminate traffic jams and parking problems, make automobile ownership obsolete and drastically cut down emissions and manufacturing waste? We could have a real transportation cloud that actually does something useful other than being a repository for our videos and photos that allows 'sharing with family and friends'.

We are complacent enough to only care about things that distract us from actually being productive. Just about any system out there leaves huge room for improvement. Everything is broken or needlessly inefficient: the government, the legal, financial, energy, educational, healthcare, transportation, and disaster management systems. Even the Internet is broken. We should be building efficient sustainable systems that scale, not software. Real innovation requires an iterate-or-die mindset.

I am an African. Don't even get me started on the developing world.

>> ... to gain users to your project

> Actually, no.

Well, to my naive way of thinking, there's your first problem. You've done the usual thing of creating a site, and then wondering why no one turns up. You need to "market" your site.

And that doesn't just mean telling HN about it several times. You need to create content, you need to get a few people to play with it, you need to make sure they immediately find something interesting and useful, you need to engage with them, etc.

And to me, the problem is as I say in my other comment - I don't see how tagging items with language names helps. Binary Search is Binary Search in any language, and most of the important and interesting things to say have nothing to do with the language of implementation.

So you have three problems:

* Content - you need to work harder to create more

* Marketing - you need to get a few users who immediately see the value

* Tags - I know they are the basis, but I'm not convinced language tags are the way to go.

YMMV - I'm often wrong - free advice is often worth exactly what you paid for it.

Awesome post, thanks a lot! I saw the headline and the first thing that popped into my mind was "Tesla Motors".

My country has spent millions over decades and decades to make German car builders to innovate electric cars. Now those companies bought shares from Tesla because they think those guys are to far ahead to close the gap otherwise.

Heck, if America lacks meaningful inovation, then where else will you find it on this planet?
OWC: New iMacs can only use Apple’s custom hard drives – Marco.org
Have you ever tried the experiment where a delay is added to your mouse input? Just a small delay (a fraction of a second) will feel like something is broken. Your brain will quickly adjust, and before long, everything seems normal. But for a little while, your brain will tell you "there is something wrong, this is broken."

Testosterone has two interesting effects which I think contribute the the feeling of pain after rejection. (Remember that women also have some T, and it works identically.) The first is that it improves muscle function. And the other is that T decreases dramatically when a person is rejected. So suddenly, I think all of your muscles suddenly don't work quite as well as they did a moment ago. So a really crappy physical feeling is compounded by your brain complaining that your entire body is slightly broken because it doesn't react in the expected way.

Just an idea :)
