I'm surprised to see you take this position. How many papers were published about BitTorrent in the early years? Not too many that I remember. I also disagree that Bitcoin's flaws are so obvious that it's not even worth writing them down (and I disagree with that attitude in general, since there are many people in the world who can't figure out obvious things for themselves).

Tell HN: We need p2p DNS
Looking at the trends going on in government it would appear that some of them have an idea of what DNS does. It feels as though without being technical people they are improperly using DNS as a means to regulate the internet. We must stop things like the PROTECT IP ACT and all the Domain seizures going on. if we open the flood gates now we will never regain control.

I have thought of how this could possibly implemented. Recalling some people working on a p2p DNS I couldnt help but think how it would be too complicated for non techies to use.

To me the only logical way to implement this would be to have it as part of a browser. Firefox obviously comes to mind.

I see no reasons why Domain registrations could not follow the same model.

Are my feelings wrong on this? Do you all not feel the same way? The internet is really our last true free space of innovation and freedom.

While groups like Anon and LulzSec may seem to be pushing on the verge of bad guys at times. I feel that in their sometimes convoluted methods is a message that someone has to do something.

I think its up to us all to take as much control away from third parties and call for a Declaration of the Internet.
Given that I frequently hear about renting botnets, that's not necessarily the case - to acquire a botnet, one does not have to go out and compromise a bunch of computers. Of course, your phrasing suggests that you are presenting yourself as a primary source, as if you were a member of LulzSec speaking from experience. If that's the case, disregard this comment.
According to the website he "built and designed" the computer which I assume includes the instruction set, assembler, etc. I can't find any evidence to the contrary.

It's definitely cool -- not groundbreaking, because after all, people used to do this by hand :) It's a bit like rebuilding classic cars. Its fun to touch the hardware and imagine what Woz may have been thinking when he designed the Apple I 30+ years ago.

You can do that in the filter. Copy/paste your list of email addresses into the "From" field in the filter config, then tell it to send the canned response. You can't attach things with them, but if you upload them you can just hotlink straight to it.

Slightly more elegant than having it forward to a new email account and have that autorespond to things.
No, traffic is not a factor. Nor "clickability".
Your "clicks" will increase if you increase your ranking.

For example if your tittle says "CLICK HERE AND YOU WILL BECOME MILLIONAIRE" and the one above says "Meh." probably, your site will get a few more clicks, maybe because its better optimized than the one above but that's not a factor.

Optimization is not a factor. Reputation, links pointing at you and rich content it is.

Yes, there is corruption,poverty,education,health and whole lot of other problems that India needs to solve. They need not be solved in sequential order.
Bringing in the politics related to Kashmir is irrelevant to this topic. Since you mentioned it, I would like to bring in another perspective. The protesters were seen as violent anti-nationals by one group and as peaceful freedom fighters by others. Unfortunately for India, the grouping was based, to a large extent, on whether one was a Hindu or a Muslim.

My point is that those technologies have been added to browsers, and we've been able to deal with the security surface.

Is merely repeating these past mistakes a high enough standard for a new technology? Particularly for one that would arguably be the worst of the lot? And for one that is getting a very late start in the arms race of exploit sophistication?

Is there not a suitable middle ground between <canvas> and OpenGL? An abstraction layer that is sufficiently powerful to not be the bottleneck, while permitting a secure implementation without the help of driver vendors and avoiding all the legacy cruft of OpenGL to boot?

Related: the Global Village Construction Set by Open Source Ecology (slightly confusing name IMO), a set of 50 machines supposed to bootstrap a small civilization. In other words, this is supposed to be enough to build your own computer, or mostly anything. (I won't say it is really enough, especially since most of those aren't even prototyped yet.)

I tried showing Khan Academy videos to my cousins going to very expensive private schools where 95% curriculum is in English right from the kindergarten. Here is what I observed.

- They understood a lot from it. In some case even more than their classrooms.

- They have a lot of questions about the subject matter. Which Mr. Khan could not answer as he was present not here.

- Most of their questions were there because of the English vocabulary or the sentences my cousins could not understand.

So yes. Khan Academy is doing a great job. I am learning higher maths again now. But videos cannot replace a good teacher and English is not the native language here. Even if we wanted to translated the videos, it would still be a monumental tasks as there are about 6000 spoken languages in India.

And yes I agree with you. Not just India, whole world needs a new education system. But the a particular technology should not the foundation of it. What we need is:

- a pedagogically sound foundation

- teachers trained in the methods of teaching, not just the subject matter

- then use the technology to enable this system.
I don't remember anything from the video about tptacek consulting tips. Could you fill us in?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (I've only read the TechCrunch summary for this company) but doesn't this just sound like the online equivalent of pay-for-play? What value is there for the end-user if artists can just pay their way onto the airwaves? I feel like I must be missing something, because this company just seems like a perfect candidate to be gamed by the big labels and artists who happen to be fortunate enough to have money to burn. I'm always interested in small companies that give individuals the opportunity to bypass the larger companies that exploit their influence, but in all honesty, I just fail to see how this company is offering the artist anything valuable. As I stated earlier, please correct me if I'm misunderstanding their model.

It's a mystery to me why Amazon/Google music services are grabbing all the spotlight. The story of label-free music playing on real radio is way more interesting.

I think this is the beginning of something beautiful.

On Chrome 13 if you enter a new ID track and hit enter it will keep playing the old song even if you start playing the new one or it will have that crkkkk repeating sound. :) Firefox 4 seems to have no problem but you have to sometimes hit refresh and then play to get the new track playing.

One cool feature would be to make a random ID track generator so you won't have to search/enter the codes for yourself.

Hope this feedback helps somehow.

DNS is already fully decentralized. Just register a domain somewhere the US can't readily fuck with. They're not going to get the IANA to pull an entire sovereign nation's gTLD delegation because one of their registrants is doing something they don't like.

PS: Namecoin is a fork of Bitcoin, as pointed out by vasilov already. It's completely stupid and ill-conceived, which is irrelevant because it'll vanish from disuse in short order just like AlterNIC.

PPS: Making hostname lookups "part of the browser" is the same kind of "the internet == the web" thinking that got us abominations like WebSockets. Please... just don't.
Eben Moglen - Freedom in The Cloud
Oh, one other thing: Tor hidden service .onion hostnames already operate outside of DNS (they are encoded keys). Last I checked, Tor is p2p, so this is is IMHO a solved problem.

The Disadvantages of A/B Testing
New Apple patent: Air keyboards that sense your fingers
Yeah, I did the same before jumping to 100% SSD. Also, heat/power consumption.

If you need the storage of a spinner and can't afford a big enough SSD, running a small SSD for the system/apps with a 7200 RPM as a storage drive in the place of the optical drive works pretty well. Look for the cheaper versions of the OptiBay (which is a bit of a ripoff).
So... if I want to settle a $40b transaction, like a big merger, in <24h with bitcoins, assuming the level of fragmentation you could expect if bitcoins became ubiquitous in everyday transactions, what kind of server farm are we talking about?
I don't think number of clickthroughs is considered because of how easy it would be to game.

EDIT: In fact, I recall a guy using MTurk to test this theory. IIRC, He had two similar pages and was having people execute search queries and click on his site to see whether its position would improve as a result of it. Unfortunately, I don't know whether he shared the results.

As with other ads, the difference between ads that hurt the UX and ads that help it is relevancy. I certainly wouldn't mind hearing sponsored songs that Earbits can algorithmically determine I am likely to like based on my tastes and use of the service. A well-targeted system would also make it more viable for small artists, who could target small niches of customers that had a higher probability of converting to sales of merchandise, concert tickets, etc. This is what happened with AdWords. One might have expected AdWords to be a mechanism for large content sites with money to spend advertising to get a lot more traffic, but as it turned out AdWords was a boon for niche but profitable businesses.

Although I like the grandparent's anecdote and up-voted him, I would have made the same argument as you did against his point. It's just confusing and therefore unsatisfactory to use usefulness as a tool to decide how to spend your life.

The reason why one shouldn't be That Guy is not because spending all your life playing Poker, or doing Maths, or playing Chess (as in the case of Bobby Fischer) just for the sake of it doesn't benefit others, but because when your level of obsession reaches a certain point, the point of diminishing returns, you just get confused -- you can't tell whether you are still getting pleasure doing it anymore. You've been off-balanced with other parts of life for too long that you've lost the ability to approach your passion purely from intellectual curiosity, as you used to.

So the bottom line is, solving intelligent puzzles is fun, as long as you don't abuse it.

That's hardly from scratch, though. Just look at all the different tools he uses. We didn't even have glasswork precise enough to use until the 18th century. Add arc welders, all of the chemicals (and chemistry, mining, etc) needed to make filaments, and everything else required and I doubt a person with full knowledge and access to all of the base materials, as they exist in nature, would be able to build a computer in their lifetime.
Coach Handbags Discount Store
Those are actually considered chain hotels, although they are upscale hotels. Boutique hotels are the ones that provide guests with a greater experience on all fronts. Say you wanted to go on vacation to NYC for your anniversary with your wife and you want to let the hotel know what you are coming for. Using a regular online booking service there is no way of doing that, however, with this service, you can let them know it is your anniversary and they can offer you a personalized deal based on the information you provide (free room upgrade, discounted room, gift card to the hotel spa, etc).

Hope that clears it up.
No one that young would have the capacity to understand some of the contextual references required to write this piece. If you pay attention to the way LulzSec writes and words things, they aren't at all immature in their thinking or worldview. Ceasing to give a fuck about perceived trivialities is something that comes with age and seeing how the world really works. The confidence they have came with age as well. Neither is not a sign of youth whatsoever.

I'd guess mid-thirties for these guys, at least for whomever is putting out their twitter updates. This is someone who is basically immune to white-knighting and is a truly hard-core realist. It takes quite a while for someone reasonably intelligent to become that cynical, and then a while longer for them to act on it.

Anyway, I'm a fan of these guys. While I wouldn't do what they are doing myself, I certainly understand the mindset. I'm not quite sure I understand the arguments against what they're doing. The knee-jerk reactions of wanting to call them wrong frequently seem more immature to me than their recent campaigns. The real world is messy, and LulzSec's work is a valid reflection of that.

As far as the comparisons to sociopathic thinking, that's just ignorant. Sociopaths generally don't care about anyone but themselves and that's obviously not the case here. A sociopath would never release any of this data, and would simply use it for their own advantage, regardless of who was harmed.

LulzSec is gleaning entertainment here from the unwashed masses to be sure, but they aren't out there enslaving people with debt, indoctrinating them with religion, shooting them for protesting, putting them in cages for drug offenses, etc. All of which is completely legal, and in my opinion, far more sociopathic than releasing some bit personal data or playing a few practical jokes on people.
It's a good talk, but the audio quality is poor. How was this recorded?
I've heard of them before, they seem like an online booking site for boutique hotels/romantic getaways.

With our service, yes, you would get personalized deals based on your trip information, and you would have the option of picking the best one from the deals that are submitted by the hotels.
He could send a DMCA takedown notice and have all of his articles removed, or organize all the other unemployed writers and coordinate a massive DMCA takedown letter writing campaign.

Even if this were true (it isn't), what difference would it make? The content he was writing was ephemeral fluff, designed to fill the daily news hole. It's not like Wikipedia. They could lose everything that all these writers wrote up to 6 months ago and chances are that nobody would notice. Guy got fired because he would have had to be treated differently for tax purposes if they had kept him on the payroll any longer, I suspect.
"I think its up to us all to take as much control away from third parties and call for a Declaration of the Internet"

Were you thinking of something like this:

http://w2.eff.org/~barlow/Declaration-Final.html

So far, I think Namecoin is the only P2P DNS solution that can work. I think the guy working on Phantom protocol (code.google.com/p/phantom) was planning on using something like DHT for a decentralized DNS.

Right now there are only 2 choices if you want to keep a free Internet:

1) Try to stop them from passing bills like Protect IP, by making a lot of noise online and offline, and trying to gather as much support for this.

2) Let them do what they want, and eventually we all move to something like Phantom.

Obviously this 2nd solution doesn't seem ideal, at least in the short term. Long term, it might be better to have a completely anonymized and decentralized Internet. But it seems like such a hard task to get to the point where many people would use it. It took a decade for Bittorrent to be used by many people, even though I wouldn't say it's exactly mainstream right now.

So the easier way to keep our Internet freedoms would be to speak out against such measures and do whatever it takes to stop them (even revolutions). And it seems that Anonymous is already moving to do just that:
