Say you're signed in to BrowserID already ... is there anything that would stop an attacker from being able to log you into some other BrowserID website without your knowledge or consent? With login reduced to two mouse clicks, it seems like a well-crafted webpage could log you in wherever it wanted. If that were the case, a CSRF-vulnerable BrowserID webpage could easily be exploited at a large scale.
based on the handful votes so far, it does seem to be skewed towards web/mobile/apps.
I think the point is that people should have sane office hours, that any software firm that default to overtime is up to no good. Also, I don't think having flexible hours is an issue according to 37signals as they have staff located in different countries.

Also, may I suggest that instead of focusing on top-down business principles you should be more product and customer centric and design your dev process around these aspects of your business? If your product or customers require x of you and your staff, then do x, otherwise don't. Deciding on office hours or how many office hours staff should work without a rationale risks creating bureaucracy and a sense of arbitrary decision making.
Do No Evil? Google’s Deceptive Practices Harm Consumers
this is an interesting part!
This is demonstrably going to increase their engagement numbers, with the goal that they break people of the habit of going to nytimes.com for news and instead search for their news on The Googles because if you do it through The Googles you get your magic Google points for it.

Google likes to encourage people to do all navigation through the Googles, not through the navigation bar, because this gives them more product (i.e. you) to sell to their customers. It also makes the rest of the world even more dependent on the good graces of Google, which is an unalloyed Good Thing for them.

Google is going to have a warchest of patents, licenses and technology that will generate tons of cash.

That would be the case if the patent system isn't completely different in 10-20 years, which I sincerely hope it will. Having Google as the next big patent troll would be a sad and ironical stain in its history and a deep stab at our generation.

New interview with Peldi of Balsamiq
This article is so utterly biased, that I hesitated to post it. However, I find it interesting how threatened the carriers feel by Google and after the GLAAD/AT&T debacle[1], I hope that this casts some more light on the shady lobbying practices of the big telcos:

Wouldnt be a bad idea for them to have a lite mode, very lightweight with mostly text based ads. Then just don't broadcast it widely, so your startup hacker types that prob won't click on the ads anyway get a more streamlined experience while everyone else who is happy with the regular site sees it as is.
This is partly why lax lending standards did so much damage. Anyone spending 2/3 of a single net income on a mortgage is one minor life event away from being completely screwed, so much so that banks wouldn't even offer you that much rope until a few years ago (when they could sell it off with a bogus rating). Now it's going to be a long and reluctant price adjustment back to what the majority even here can realistically afford. In the meantime, I rent within my means as a single (about a mile away from that house), so the wage difference for being here is huge for me.

Hacker’s App Automates Over-The-Shoulder iPad Spying
You are right, I didn't express myself quite clearly. But if you are in, say, Australia and you're streaming from a server that is in Sweden there is probably some bottleneck along the way that doesn't allow you to get full speed of your connection. But if you're streaming from across the street you probably get more use of your connection. Your connection speed is obviously the upper limit.

I don't know if I expressed myself any more clearly :)
And let's not forget that you can add any site to Lastpass, while with BrowserID you can add a site that already implemented it. That sucks.

Search engine penalties from mass link building
Wondering why I was downvoted for pointing this out.

But anyways, my impression from reading the page was this is not just used as a password reset scenario but as a general login method.

Which if you agree with, leads us back to the scenario where authentication & authorization lies solely with the email account, which if compromised is the single point of failure.

I would appreciate it if someone were to help point out what flaws there in this line of thought rather than a straight downvote with no explanation.

I bet this has something to do with the social news reader app that Google will be releasing soon.
Funny how every single account related to this post was created a couple of minutes ago. Now we have spam about spam on HN.
The links on the top bar of an individual article page are in the form of http://tcfast.com/?backTo=/2011/07/14/larry-page-earnings-ca...

But "backTo" parameter also accepts full URLs, so something like http://tcfast.com/?backTo=http://cnn.com/&t=g will happily redirect to CNN.

This might not be desirable for you, because in effect it will transform your site to a free redirect service ready for use by spammers.

You should check the value of "backTo" parameter and redirect only inside your own site.
I know that, and you know that, but the general public is really bad at doing proper cost-benefit-analysis.

If 3000 people kill themselves (and/or their passengers) each month, that's "ok", that's accidents, they happen, it's noone's fault.

If driverless cars kill 100 people each month, then IT'S SOMEONE'S FAULT. Someone is liable. Someone can be sued. Someone in that case being the company that makes these driverless cars.

This means that personal cars will have a human somewhat in control to absorb the blame for a very long time.

I think the first driverless vehicles we'll allow on the roads will be unmanned trucks. They don't need a human onboard since they only transport goods, not people, and there's a huge efficiency gain if you can remove truck drivers, since they need to eat and sleep.

And then when people have gotten used to driving alongside fully automatic vehicles, public opinion might shift to also allow people to be transported by similar systems.
Hotmail banning common passwords to beef up security
wow, that's quite a list! I read it at a dinner with friends and immediately had to share. HN is awesome, and so are you :D

I will definitely check out those books, as you seemed to have hit all the areas I'd be interested in, especially 1 and 4.

Would you also recommend anything specifically on the language of law? Legal docs are always a ginormous pain to read, and I want to see how lawyers are taught to structure these things.

<uninformed>The "send to phone" button on app store webpages is a simple feature Google and Apple can copy straight from Amazon's Kindle playbook. If I couldn't send book samples to my Kindle while browsing Amazon on my computer, I'd miss out on checking out and buying a lot of books.</uninformed>
"Send people home at 5" is a metaphor for a humane workplace that values a balance between worklife and personal time - and importantly, requires people to take the time to achieve that balance. The degree to which it should be taken literally is the degree to which your office runs 9-5.

Based on the description of your workplace and if you want to follow the advice, it could be "Send people home after eight hours," because it looks like you have people regularly working 12 or more hours. Of course, that is easy to do in industries where the work is creative and the project is done when you run out of time.

Salaried compensation facilitates overwork because the feedback loop doesn't contain measurable consequences until staff get fed up and quit. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you want a feedback loop which forces management to take a real interest in long hours, put everyone, including the CEO on hourly compensation - I have a friend whose architecture firm did that years ago. They maintained very high retention through the construction boom when job hopping was common and salaries were rising because people appreciated the inherent fairness and management was able to add staff appropriately.

Good luck.
Right, the private consumption by tens of thousands of Google Reader users. Is it private because they have to login? Like what is the difference? One is a web page with all of Techcrunch's content, and the other is a web page with all of Techcrunc's content. You think I'd go to tcfast.com only when I'm at a bar? Is it because I can read the contents from more than one site?
Do you really have trouble spending $4 a month on marketing a product you want to make money from?
To be honest, you can usually shop better in large cities than you can in small ones. Flights are cheaper, you have more specialized discount stores, the amount of competition is higher. Big box pricing is also fairly consistent country wide. You'll find 'levi signature' jeans for $10 on clearance in the Mountain View Target and in the Austin Target.
A hundred people out of how many beta testers? 10,000? That would be outrageous.

There are obviously a lot of legitimate safety questions about robot cars. Are they better or worse at avoiding pedestrian collisions than a good driver? An average driver? How does the average severity of an accident vary between human drivers and robots? It will take some expensive testing and stats/actuarial work to sort out whether they would actually save lives at this point or anytime soon.

There are some important security questions too. How many exploits will be found per year? Will they be used to commit anonymous acts of violence? Do the cars connect to a network of any kind and pass viruses? If a car has been off or out of range during an infection, does it have to be quarantined from other cars and forced to update? "Pulling over to restart driving-service." How do you verify that an infected car has actually updated? Lots of completely untested, life-critical systems.

When other vendors enter the market, what kind of standards will they have to meet? How do we verify the security of their car software, will we require they be open source? If a vendor goes out of business, who is responsible for maintaining their upgrade distribution network?

There's a lot of important policies to decide on, it's going to take awhile.

I SO agree with this comment. Is there anyone else out there who wants a 'tag and subscription' type post? I'd like to tag all my tech related posts with 'tech', and then anyone who wants to actually read them can click a checkbox on my profile that say's tech, and bam my tech posts will appear in there profile. Otherwise it won't pollute their stream.

What are these intensive graduate-level studies of which you speak? Because it's certainly not business school. Although if you could get in to HBS then drop out as soon as the tuition is due (not sure how this is structured) to go do techstars/yc or just your startup full-time, then you'd have the best of both worlds. Social status signals via the acceptance and drop out story, and actual experience via the startup. Plus, if you fail hard, it's not like they wouldn't let you back into b-school with a killer essay about what you learned and how you were now ready to "grow up" for the F500 gig and learn 2x2 matrices, PowerPoint buzzword bingo skills, and the type of frameworks that build nothing except little boxes around your thinking.
The picture I was looking at is weight in the economy. We - I guess I am making some assumptions about the audience here - sometimes get so caught up in the kinds of things that are important to us, that we forget that this is not the whole world. I mean, Google+ vs. Facebook is fascinating, but this is probably not the most momentous conflict that history will record for the early 21st century.

And speaking of profit, apparently Exxon made $11 billion last quarter - more than the revenue number we're talking about here. Yeah, the margin is lower, but...

Your contract should indicate what jurisdiction's laws are applicable, have a clause for termination, and another for dispute resolution.

A retainer to be applied to final payment is something I have found helpful - doing the last bit without another check coming doesn't suck as badly as doing the whole thing and then not getting a check.
Best detail about the site: You can change the language. But at least for German, it is no automatic translation. He translated his whole site to multiple languages. wow!

Let the downvotes begin but I lol'd so hard at orgasms in your area.
Well for one thing, TechCrunch puts out an RSS feed for the purpose of using an RSS reader to see their new content. Yes, both Google Reader and this site are "web pages" (in the sense that it's HTML over port 80) but the differences I think are obvious. For one, Reader is behind a login screen and you only see what you've subsribed to. There aren't any public pages generated from the content and the individual content viewed in Reader can't be linked to or indexed. TCFast.com is basically the exact opposite. They take one site's content and republish it publicly in a way that TC would likely have never approved of. The site has linkable content and the pages are indexable. You can eliminate the indexability but that doesn't take away from the core issue that they are republishing TC content and attempting to divert TC traffic with that content.
How does this number compare to that of Wave/Buzz? I would not be surprised if Wave/Buzz garnered similar numbers when they were first released.
>With around 60% of users identifying themselves as web developers or software engineers

The other 40% are social media consultants.
I didn't bother to downvote, but do you honestly think that the Gizmodo iPhone 4 incident was a carefully orchestrated PR stunt? Seriously?
Yes they are. Hop across the border to Seattle or NYC with a TN visa if you want to stay close to home and your salary will literally double. Don't worry about health insurance since if your not employed, you not allowed to be in the USA for long anyways. And seattle is half price compared to vancouver. You'll bitch about the $200+ border penalty for flights although.
First off, great work on making some progress.

However, just because you are 'the business guy' (to quote your previous post) doesn't mean you have to micromanage trivial details like hours of operation. Rather, I think that your role should be more big picture - figure out what customers want, how much they will pay, and how you will reach them.

Finally, this is not intended to be an insult, merely my own opinion. If I were your co-Founder, I would be looking to jump ship and do something else. In my experience, nothing kills morale faster than micromanagement. And nothing kills a startup faster than killing morale.

I'm beginning to doubt journalistic integrity of Forbes. It seems to grant industry mouthpieces get a soapbox to harm technology companies.

Between the SpaceX/Loren Thompson fiasco and this I'm taking any article from them with a huge rock of salt.
Yeah, I see a whole lot of accusation and wild language about things everybody knows, combined with gross misrepresentations about what Google actually says. I don't think they've ever once cast themselves as philanthropists rather than a business. They'll be the first ones to admit that their customers are advertisers, not users. However, their primary claim is that focussing on the user delivers a better product, and thus more users to advertisers. Everybody wins.

The tinhattery in this article was pretty hard to read. Hosting this kind of content isn't really doing much for the Forbes brand.
It's blogs.forbes.com, so it's basically the huffpo model of journalism.
git does store "only the minimum amount of information".

Here's what Linus had to say about it:

> Generation numbers are _completely_ redundant with the actual structure

> of history represented by the parent pointers.

Not true. That's only true if you add ".. if you parse the whole
history" to that statement.

And we've never parsed the whole history, because it's just too expensive and doesn't scale. So right now we depend on commit dates with a few hacks.

So no, generation numbers are not at all redundant. They are
fundamental. It's why we had this discussion six years ago.

I don't get it. I was hoping to find references to solid "proofs" and examples on how Google is being deceptive. All I found was the statement that Google is deceptive and an entire blog post dedicated to why deceit is bad (as if people don't know).
I thought the same, I use .net all the time and a majority of it is generated by .net itself but the rest looks like its been copied and pasted from word or something with the extra stuff in there.

It makes me wonder if this really was an internal project as would they let people loose on such a big project that are copying and pasting stuff from word?

Or again, is this part of the conspiracy??

Microsoft's lack of innovation in general recently upsets me, I used to be a massive Microsoft fan but the more Apple do recently the more I want to follow them instead. I hope they do pull something out of the bag

I knew all this. Stocks are bound to be crap, they depend on making a profit from selling goods and services. There are only two types of people left in unequal economies. Those who can't afford the stuff and those who don't need to buy any more than they do. Consumption, profits and stocks would all be much higher if societies were more equal. There is tons of money locked up that never needs to be spent by the people who've got it. Economic demand is money + (desire or need). Every consumer has one or the other but not both. Maybe the poor deserve no more a share of the resources than they get, after Reagans tax cuts, but the result is terrible for companies. To sell anything PROFITABLY, chase the super-rich. Everyone else is broke.

We won't be able to transfer the unneeded wealth of people in Luxembourg to Nigerians or Romanians of course, we must wait a few decades for the abolition of scarcity (of most things) and the abolition of money and economics. Otherwise known by: "Tea, Earl Grey, hot."
