I think the argument that Bitcoins will ultimately have some nonzero value is fairly sound under certain assumptions, namely (a) the crypto doesn't get broken; (b) governments don't outlaw it. If Bitcoin turns out to be useful, people will want to keep a certain amount of it on hand so they don't have to continually trade in and out of it, with the attendant fees.

That doesn't mean, however, that a bubble hasn't formed or will not form. Speculative bubbles take on lives of their own, and can drive the market price well above the true value, as we've all seen.

Blackberry Spy Software
The Blackberry spy software is installed as a hidden programme in the target Blackberry phone. It is generally compatible with all models of Blackberry phones. Once activated, the software secretly transfers all message logs, call logs, Phone book data, and the current location of the phone via GPS, to an online account, where you can check out all the activities done with the help of the phone.

Both of the examples in this article are about products that contain obvious solutions for core functions of an iPhone. Just because a developer builds a feature before Apple gets around to it doesn't mean Apple is evil for implementing a similar feature.

Does anyone think the creators of the iPhone never thought of using the volume button to take pictures or wifi sync? These are features every engineer who bought an iPhone for the last three years thought of on the first day.

The whole premise of this whine-fest is bunk.

suggesting they're "character builders" is painfully pretentious.

No, it's just clear that the author has a wider understanding of the issue (and more compassion) than you display. It's like criticizing people for only being able to do a couple of pushups when they first visit the gym. The fact that they keep going to the gym and working at building strength is the important part, not how many repetitions they start out with.

Recently deceased Aikido master Koichi Tohei[1] was a sickly child and had to take a year off from high school because he had pleurisy. Being forbidden to exercise, he started improving his character where he could: getting out of bed quickly and bathing by dumping buckets of cold water on himself.[2] He would later wind up leading troops in battle, so he hardly strikes me as a wimp. But since he would later stress that simple beginning exercise in some of his writings, just maybe he and the blogger aren't so "painfully pretentious" as you think.

I agree with you, except for

> If you walk to work, you won't be able to contribute to advances in vehicle technology.

Are you implying that walking to work is an 'uncomfortable' thing like taking a cold shower? I may be misunderstanding you there, but I , for one, hate sitting in a car and suffering through morning-hour traffic jams. I hate searching for a parking spot. I much rather take my bike to work. You know, not to work out, but to breathe fresh morning air for once. To enjoy the sound of birds. Riding your bike, or walking, is exactly what that nice quite of yours is recommending.

You can advance your vehicle technology as far as you like, but if that vehicle will be used for a distance that you could easily walk, it will never be effort well spent.
Ask HN: Bluetooth File Sharing App. Is the idea feasible?
People carry their mobile phones with them 24x7. They may have various files such as music, pictures, videos that they don't mind sharing with even strangers. So I guess it would be nice if we provide them with a bluetooth file sharing app that allows them to control which files are private and which are public. Random people around you having same app can search for devices having public files and download it on their device.

Do you think this idea is practical and worthy to be implemented?
Nice! Continuing on the same thread; India is a huge market for Infrastructure and Manufacturing right now(Power plants, roads, rail, clothing etc), so people are putting their money and their brains into those markets, rather than working on a world changing technology. That money is easier to get than the world changing technology money.
Wasn't the volume key snapshot feature in Camera+ done as an undocumented easter egg? Apple's developer guidelines at the time clearly stated that you have to list all hidden features upon submitting the app for review. I believe you had to visit an URL in Mobile Safari to activate the feature. It was also well understood that you couldn't alter the functionality of the hardware controls.

I'm inclined to think that a physical camera button is not something Apple couldn't come up on its own. Just like wi-fi sync, it was listed as a missing feature on quite a few review. That said, the matter naturally becomes quite different if they still disallow 3rd party developers access to the volume rocker.

It's disappointing to see that Wired is repeating the wi-fi sync story.

Apple have been going at a clip these past few years creating, scaling and tweaking a few massive products - ipods, itunes, iphone & ipads while outpacing competition with macs and still carrying a few fizzles (apple servers, apple tv...) and a few lower visibility but fairly important products (iwork, ilife..).

I think they just don't have the capacity to do more big things right now. When/if iOS gets put on medium heat like OSX is/was, then maybe we they'll try this. It's not really much harm waiting a few years to see if/how some of the newer Apple stuff (iOS, icloud) and its competition gets used by large companies.

The title should be Why the Y Combinator model doesn't work in India YET.

The Silicon Valley has a classic chicken-egg situation where companies are chasing investors and investors chasing companies. Both are equally responsible for the valley's ecosystem and it took it a great deal of time and struggle to become what it is today.

Whining every other day that "OMG my country is so not valley, nothing will work here, we're screwed big time" helps no one. Be ready to take big risks. Be ready to grab every little opportunity. There's no reason why every emerging economy can't have its own Silicon Valley in the near future.
Another problem is lack of angels who can feed off from seed funds like YC. There's a gap. The startups who come out of seed funds are not yet there to qualify for VC funding.
Would you be up for sharing your experience setting it up? Whether a blog post, an e-book, or whatever - I'll bet there are some people who would love to do the same, but use the experience of someone who's already got it working together.
I wouldn't say those things aren't part of or can't include world changing technology.

There is evidence of a sugar link on almost every cancer study - but nobody wants to call this out because of the terribly obvious implications for the modern diet. The fact is, your doctors have been telling you that low-fat diets cause disease, pushing people to eat high sugar low-fat foods, thereby killing them.

Here's just a few references I found in about 30 minutes. I don't keep track as I probably should, but the link is painfully obvious.

With that explanation, you are implying that your post is observational only. IE, you could drop the "why" from the title and gain accuracy in describing the post.

In order for either of these points (your two points seem to have been joined here) to be interesting for answering the why you need to look at Indian companies that would have been bought in the US but weren't (presumably) because they were Indian. Whatever the reason, if it is endemic, could be a why.

As is, you kind of end just observing that YC like investors or YC like startups don't often exist (or maybe succeed) in India but aren't really commenting on why.

Maybe we're looking at different things but because of the comparison between airbnb and hotels, it looks as if the line is flat but if you look at the numbers, it's gradually increasing. While they certainly don't have as much traffic, I do think they have a bigger market.
you used to have in in Beta before as well - and then you suddenly, without telling developers beforehand, just killed it. Why should it be any different this time?

Firebug Lite
Have you used ChromeOS? Because that review was almost word-for-word my first experience. At this point, I'm switching my Cr-48 over to Ubuntu.
I can't find that text on the page at the moment, but it's the truth.

Firefox (3.6) seems to have a really nasty problem in its garbage collection system. If I leave it open for more than a couple of days, under normal use, it starts hanging for a couple of seconds every minute to half-minute -- and it hangs for longer, more often, the longer I leave it open.

Closing and restarting Firefox seems to clear the issue up. At least, for a while.

The only reason I still use Firefox is because of AdBlock Plus. The moment someone comes up with a replacement that's as good, I'm done with it and never looking back.

edit: oh, and by the way: this bug, combined with Google "Instant"? Very not the best thing ever.
I recently migrated to GNUS and all in all I'm not missing the Gmail interface that much. Though Google still has all my stuff since I am just using their IMAP service.

And I've recently migrated off Google Reader to a ncurses RSS reader I wrote (https://github.com/abhiyerra/rutt).

In both cases there are issues that I have to deal with, but overall it has been sort of fun.
To prevent this from happening don't use flash with Firefox or really any browser! It can handle one or two instances of flash running at the same time but anymore watch out .. FlashCrash!
I like Microsoft Keyboard 4000. ;) Only thing Microsoft I use at this point, except for maybe Skype now.

not merely publishing on blog, but then self-posting to HN and meticulously fielding questions. i guess it's all part of "character building" / entrepreneurial self-promotion
All the standard stuff works without a hitch – exactly like MobileMe. MobileMe was never bad (except for iDisk which has always been slow for some reason), it was actually pretty great – but it cost money. That was its problem, not performance.

Mail, calendar, address book, bookmarks, iPad backup – all of that works without a hitch for me and it is fast. If the more important parts (documents API) work the same then I foresee no problems.

Once again, the big difference is price and the documents API, not performance. Sometimes that’s enough to make all the difference.
Agree with a non technical founder needing to do everything. Also it depends very much on the type of business. Some businesses have complex technical requirements and so, just a technical co-founder may be necessary.

Other times if you are hiring a large technical team (5 or more people) to accomplish what you want to accomplish then the technical co-founder is not as important, and it's more important to hire an awesome team of technical people and have the money raised to do that.

However if you have moderate or complex technical requirements and you are starting the business with 1 or 2 people and no staff, then a technical co-founder makes more sense.
URLs are long and tagged with parameters for SEM purposes, not SEO. Long URLs that are spidered by Google are usually considered bad from an SEO perspective because they're not "pretty" URLs. There's a lot of incorrect information being passed around on this thread.

All the parameters you see specify campaign variables to help marketers track their campaigns. As for privacy, these parameters don't reveal user behavior on a site. It's only when it's connected to Google Analytics that is placed ON the site that the campaign data is then connected to site data. Long URLs have no adverse affect on the user browsing experience and URL shorteners do a great job of hiding them so removing those parameters simply serves to screw over marketing people that have spent time and money crafting their campaigns and gathering valuable data.

In regards to making it harder to detect duplicate URLs...really??? It's that hard to strip our everything before parameters?
I regularly ran Firefox 3.6 (I'm on v4 now) for weeks at a time, and never had such issues. I'd guess it's an extension or plugin you had installed.

My biggest problem with Firefox (v4 only) is shutting it down takes ages as it iterates through every file in the cache, which is encrypted on my machine. I limited my cache size to 50MB, which seems to have limited the pause times to something reasonable.

I cannot stand Chrome though; I hate the way it selects text on the page with the mouse (I'm a compulsive selection-reader), and the cobbled-together extension replacements for the Bookmarks menu don't work nearly as well as a proper menu.
Oracle is a funny beast. Like other gold-tooth-money databases it has some amazingly advanced features. But in other ways it is more 1980s than Top Gun crossed with Duran Duran.

Central Bank governors are strangely resilient and separate from day to day politics. I'm Romanian and we've had a string of our own Berlusconis here, but since '99 we've had just one Bank Governor, and a very capable one. He even left his position to work as a Prime Minister for a about a year, and then returned to the Central Bank. He's completely uncharacteristic of everything else in Romanian politics.

Why Everyone Should Learn to Program
In real life, this is a non-issue. Even if one piece of software is compromised, you cannot compromise all of the parts of the system so they align perfectly.

For example, someone compromised your C compiler such that it adds a secret login when it compiles UNIX sources, and that it adds the same feature to the compiler code.

You can modify the compiler code to accept Modified C Language. You can then write a transforming program that converts C into MCL. Then you will compile your new compiler code with the compromised compiler. This will give you MCL compiler. It will still contain the backdoor logic. However, that logic will be deemed irrelevant. Any pattern-matching will be useless against your new language, since attackers cannot know in advance which transformations you applied to it.

After that you can get compiler source, apply MCL transformation, compile the result with your compiler, and you will get a "clean" version of C compiler.
Totally agree. The point is that you can have the talent in India and service the US or any market.

However you can hire an Indian team from the US in any case. I personally have 45 staff in 9 different countries. Thinking about your business in terms of "I'm in country X and I hire from country X" is a 20th century outdated way of thinking.

I do have a few extensions installed & enabled -- AdBlock Plus, Firebug, Greasemonkey (rarely used, I should just uninstall it), Flashblock, and YSlow.

But, I've seen similar behavior on at least one other system, and the only extension we had in common there was AdBlock Plus. The behavior also predates Greasemonkey.

The other system is newer, and the slowdown there is less pronounced (though still noticeable), which leads me to suspect that there's some task that runs regularly that performs well enough on fast enough systems to be less problematic, but becomes a miserable dog on older systems -- a pretty typical case of programmer "fast enough for me".

Apropos of nothing: I don't get you compulsive selection readers. I'm always a little bemused when one of you speaks up. Why do you do that? It's so weird. :-)
