It's not the same level of challenge as eBay and Paypal. Are Nigerians going to buy houses in SF so they can pretend to have them robbed?

eBay and Paypal's #1 way of avoiding fraud is by validating physical addresses. AirBnB has this built in. Something tells me their insurance policy doesn't apply to shacks in Nigeria.

Show HN: BugHerd 3 months later
Some of you may recall some months ago we started building an app called BugHerd (http://bugherd.com). At the time we had no pricing, no real market strategy and were having a hard time pitching our concept. A lot of people didn't understand why on earth we'd build a bug tracker when there are dozens of great apps out there already...and really, it was a pretty good point!

We're now finding that our greatest use case is a communication tool between technical and non-technical users. e.g. stakeholders, clients, managers. BugHerd is now crossing the divide between QA, Feedback and Bug tracking. We're still a bug tracker at heart, but now we've broadened our appeal to the entire team, not just developers.

We'd love to get your feedback!

(as a side note, we're currently A/B testing copy and trial options, so my apologies if you get some variation)
I think the primary problem with Xcode is that huge amount of new code has been added in recent years, and the new code has not had a chance to be thoroughly tested.
I personally think he was writing those so that someone would stumble across them and hire him. The new employer must have asked him to take them down.

It seems they're getting around the RAM issue by procedurally generating their objects. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I want to see it in something approaching a consumer game before I'll believe it. Carmack seems to think the next-gen consoles might be able to handle it, so if they can push out their SDK within a year, it might just power the next Crisis. Assuming, that is, the technology is actually useful.
I do not understand this section: Here's where Mr Myhrvold's Intellectual Ventures comes in. Intellectual Ventures owns a huge portfolio of patents. Quite possibly they also have some sort of patent that covers streaming music over the internet. Intellectual Ventures makes money through a sort of protection racket that helps Spotify defend themselves against companies like PacketVideo

How can Spotify use IV's patent pool defensively against PacketVideo, a patent troll when they PacketVideo doesn't do anything other than sue? The defensive aspect only comes into play against companies who have other lines of revenue that you can threaten... thoughts?

This is actually very true. The Seven Kingdoms are based on the Heptarchy (Lancaster --> Lannister, York --> Stark) and so the story is (very) loosely based upon the War of the Roses.

Does this mean they are bleeding money? Why would they need such a huge infusion other than if they have run out of cash?
Well, I don't know.

In other words, I think the claim that they
are spending the money to "aggressively innovate" is PR bullshit. They need the money to pay their immense infrastructure bills because their revenue stream so far has been too feeble.

A large part of the problem is the "race to the bottom" mentality. Users have been taught (by Apple) that software is $0.99 - if not free. You have to get massive user numbers before that becomes profitable, or find another way out of the trap.

Google's Market is pretty good, and there's always the option of self-distributing (Swype does this and it is still very popular).

I wouldn't use Amazon's App Store after reading things like this. It's less usable for customers and it takes a lot out of the developer's control. However, I've seen developers handling this very badly. For example, they get shocked by the way the Free App promotion works (starting with the fact that it's FREE) and then try to remove the app from the store and deny those customers all further access to updates and the ability to reinstall (which may be wanted reasonably often if you use custom firmware). I don't care if you sold it for $0 or if you got burned by Amazon, that's still a bit of a bait-and-switch.
Anti-money-laundering regulations in the United States have resulted in most payment processors refusing to service foreign-incorporated companies. If you expect to collect credit card payments, your first consideration should be incorporating in a country where you will be able to process payments. If you are just looking for legal protection otherwise, the advantage of offshore companies are they're usually black book (no annual audits or requirements to maintain physical offices in-country) etc., so they can provide a convenient form of legal protection from lawsuits while being fairly cheap to operate.
Which options do I have to monetize desktop application like TweetDeck 
Hello all
I build desktop application that is integration between Twitter / facebook/ picasa / (can be others ) on speed (build with c++ with much more options).
It is build first for my use . but then people liked it and started to use it .
Its still in very early beta . before I publish to it to the public . which options do I have to monetize it.
So it can generate income.
Thanks
By "production issues" I would think "pipeline" first of all. It doesn't matter if it's possible to convert a high-res mesh to an optimized voxel format, if the result takes hours of compilation. That is too long an iteration time for a single asset.

Turning off the ability to execute arbirary code on your server through your webserver will also stop WordPress from being able to get security updates out to the millions of sites using it.

While I much prefer going through SHH to manage my sites, there are likely 10x as many WP sites run by people who can only FTP. There isn't really an ideal solution in this situation (apart from education) so I think allowing easy updates by having weaker security may be best. Maybe there is a better solution that still works for FTP. If so, file a ticket.

The WordPress Codex is a wiki and it looks like the docs on security could do with some improvements - sign up and help out.
This affects not just themes, but plugins too. Its in the vslider plugin I've used in multiple installs.

It would require more thought, but maybe they could consider number of exceptions reported as part of pricing, in addition to page views.

To be fair, this app does explicitly ask for permission to listen to your phone calls, which is a lot more information than the equivalent app would have on a traditional operating system.
Well, someone needs to be friends with NK. I don't think China leaning on NK could really help there. NK would just get more isolated. The solution to North Korea is to stop scaring them so that they will come out of their shell a bit.
A friend and I built an iPhone app in pursuit of a new concept, and we did a few field tests, but Apple did not approve the app. At that point, although we could have continued pushing, we decided it was easier to stop the project and part ways.

I presume that this malware exploits a root privilege escalation vuln to record phone calls?

During installation, this malware asks for the RECORD_AUDIO permission, but AFAIK this permission is not for allowing applications to record phone calls, but merely recording audio when a call is not in progress.
The music industry we see today is part of a vastly different environment than the music industry we knew only a decade ago. Thanks to the power of the internet as well as the overwhelming availability of music over peer to peer networks, we now have an industry that is terrified of technology, engages in anti-competitive
business practices, and that is now starved of capital. Yet despite poor sales, terrible product reviews, and a slew of new online music services, the industry still maintains the very same flawed business model they’d implemented in a time in which their industry was thriving.

On the other hand, the independent music industry has truly benefited from the power of technology. Modern day independent artists now vary in age, aren’t signed to a specific record label, and have the ability to produce, promote, market, as well as manage everything entirely by themselves. Even if the opportunity arises for a musician to begin working with major labels, studios, or corporations it carries with it a number of obligations which often greatly affect the ownership, integrity, and general direction of any project in question. Which partly explains why there’s currently a substantial market of independent musicians, looking to get their name out, that are willing to give their music away at no cost.

For an example on how free music works, look no further than Pretty Lights (http://prettylightsmusic.com) He releases his music at absolutely no cost whatsoever and accepts donations. He does however place his music on iTunes and other marketplaces for people to also purchase if they're unaware it's available for free or want to support the artist. He tours nearly year round and has sold out nearly every one of his shows the last two years.

Ask any musician where a vast majority of the capital they bring in comes from and they'll tell you it's not in the sales of their tracks.

I think what they're doing is great, but I see two problems with their presentation. First, computer rendering techniques are extremely well understood and well researched. We've picked the low hanging fruit, much of the high hanging fruit, and everything in between. There is no "groundbreaking new technology" to be invented. They're converting polygons into voxels (although each voxel is probably a sphere for cheaper computation), and using software ray-tracing to render in real time. Since ray-tracing is trivially parallelizable, the multicore technology is just about there now. A 12-core machine will give just about 20FPS. The reason why they can get away with an incredible amount of detail is that ray-tracing diffuse objects is fairly independent of the number of visible polygons in the scene.

The second problem is that 10^4x improvement in level of detail does not mean 10^4x aesthetically pleasing (or in fact, more aesthetically pleasing at all). Ray tracing gets very expensive the moment you start adding multiple lights, specular materials, partially translucent materials, etc. It is very, very difficult to do that in real-time even with standard geometry, let alone with 10^4x more polygons. This is why their level doesn't look nearly as good as modern games despite higher polygon count (compare it to the unreal demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttx959sUORY) They only use diffuse lighting and few lights. In terms of aesthetic appeal of a rendered image, lighting and textures are everything.

Furthermore, one of the biggest impacts on how aesthetically pleasing a rendered images looks is made by global illumination. That's also something that's extremely difficult to do in real time with raytracing, but is possible with gpu hardware with tricks. The trouble is, these tricks look much better than raw polygons.

Again, I love what they're doing. Real-time ray-tracing is without a doubt the future of graphics, but it would be nice if they were a little less sensational about the technology, and more open about the limitations and open issues.
The first example is called "pairs trading". Try extending out the math to multiple sets.

Why you can't start a rival post office
Perl is a really great language that i came to love over the years.
First, I've been writing PHP stuff then moved to Perl and experienced Java,Actionscript,Javascript,Objective-C,Python...
But all of them, Perl was the most powerful and expressive language.

For those who learn Javascript, Perl object literal notation
should be really easy to get and if you do some jQuery stuff, many things should come naturally to you somehow. Perl supports packages, closure, utf8 since many years whereas they are just coming to PHP (It's a real pain to go back to PHP for some projects... as it looks like a huge trash of functions in the global namespace with no cohesion at all... working with array_, mb_ or preg_* functions is such a pain... hopefully the doc helps in understanding the quirks of the language).
The integration of regex as an operator is so nice.
q[] or qq[] helps quite a lot and I quickly miss them...
Controlling each instance of the program flow in code is very powerful too.

I guess the very minimalistic OOP system shipped with Perl did not help get Perl across the board of a wider range of company...

Obviously, this le/gend/ary image of unreadable code that one-liners, and to some extend sysadmin community, gave to the language has left a very bad taste in the mouth... and it is now very hard to get rid of.

when you look at http://mojolicio.us/ or http://perldancer.org/ for web development, Perl::Critic that analyzes your code for bad coding habits(JSLink like), perltidy that reformat your code to follow your conventions or Devel::NYTProf to profile every line of your code...
I don't even talk about CPAN that has always get the job done for me in like 90% of the case...

I still have to find a language that offers such a powerful ecosystem.

And for those who wonder, Perl is very active here in Japan.
Was exaggerating. Point is that SV != SF.
Sort of? It depends a lot on how you frame the question. To first-order, modern economics goes as the number of connections between nodes. There is quite a lot of potential growth between the current status quo and the maximized economic state for a population at planetary carrying capacity (whatever that is).

The things is, economies scale according to the sort of activities which are being conducted. Primitive agrarian economies are fairly linear. Modern economies are fairly exponential. There are many cases in between, and the degree of local self-sufficiency also varies greatly.

Can economic growth last? Well, there are ups and downs. Events can create setbacks. Geographic localities can experience recession while the global picture is one of growth, and the same is true in the time domain. The current types of economic activities can probably show a general global trend of growth for quite some time to come.

But in the long term, it is likely that a phase transition of some sort would occur, making the question rather moot.

tl;dr: The answer depends heavily on how you frame the question.
The 'race to the bottom' on pricing diesn't seem to have hit the Android market in the same way as the iOS app store, from what I've seen.

I've not had any difficulty justifying paying more for an app/game, thanks mainly to the 15 minute refund window.

Bad handling on the developer's part is a valid complaint alright. I'm sure it's frustrating and painful to have to support potentially large numbers of users (note: not customers) for no gain whatsoever.
That, along with the obviously lacking editorial control to respond to troubled users is a glaring red flag to steer clear of the system.

It is strange to have some moral objection to being shot because being shot is, ultimately, a chemical reaction, and isn't our existence based on all sorts of chemical reactions.

How exactly is one chemical reaction bad, but so many other reactions good? It makes no sense.
