The Harper brothers Charlie and Alan are almost opposites but form a great team. They have little in common except their dislike for their mundane, maternally cold and domineering mother, Evelyn. Alan, a compulsively neat chiropractor and control-freak, is thrown out by his manipulative wife Judith who nevertheless gets him to pay for everything and do most jobs in the house. Charlie is a freelance jingle composer and irresistible Cassanova who lives in a luxurious beach-house and rarely gets up before noon...i love you
Elevator Labs: an L.A. start-up building L.A. start-ups
Elevator Labs will be a tech incubator in L.A., roughly based on IdeaLab (build a company around an idea), rather than Y Combinator (build a company around a team).

Thoughts?
The landing site tells me nothing about what makes LazyMeter better than the million other todo lists out there. It makes a huge claim that's really hard to believe, and doesn't back it up with anything.

I haven't actually tested the app—but you've really got to take a second look at your marketing site. It's a huge turn-off for me. A big let down.
It's due to the hidden menu, same drill with Office 2010 and finding "Save As.." etc, I've never been much for just using the keyboard, I like using the mouse to navigate the menus ;)
This is a huge win for developer choice on one front -- choice of client language. Now you can use pretty much any language you want to write your client logic as long as a suitable binding to the DOM via the Pepper API has been developed. Not to mention the ability to write truly performant code (V8 is nice and all but you can't beat native code in tight loops -- media manipulation apps like Photoshop come to mind.)

Mono 2.10 already ships with support for NaCl, so you can already use a whole bunch of nice languages over the CLI that way. It'll be interesting to see where this takes the Moonlight project though, since it has similar goals. With Microsoft seemingly downplaying or abandoning Silverlight, so is this the end of the line?
Just because something is a standard in no way means one way or another that browsers should actually support it. For example... C# is a non-proprietary approved spec by ECMA, but you don't see that inside of a web browser.

If something is standardized and approved by the W3C or WHATWG, and no other browsers support it, then yeah, come back and we'll chat. But that's not going to happen anytime soon. Until that happens, it shouldn't be inside of a web browser and promoted as web technology.
I couldn't believe MS was portrayed as "professional" in the sense of preparing books and typesetting documents.

Will Amazon Color Tablets Target Apple This Year?
This seems weird.

Why would I login and tie this to my Facebook account? Why not an e-mail since I'm making purchases through that?

If anything, I'd rather install something in my Gmail/Yahoo account that basically had a one button click mechanism that shows up when the app reads that the e-mail address/subject is a receipt (especially with common online companies like Ticketmaster, Amazon, FreshDirect, airlines...) I don't want to have to remember to forward it to a certain e-mail address. I'd rather the app say, "hey, this looks like a receipt, would you like to archive it?"
I wasn't familiar with the message, but it was my first reaction when I read the opening line of the article.

Methinks most HN readers would have guessed that immediately, it's a typical programmer error message, not a defacement. This is a prime example of how "journalism" works these days.
The one issue I haven't seen addressed in any of these password posts is that many sites/services (like my corporate login, for example) require you to use both numbers and capitalization. So what I've started doing is using the same 3 word combo with l33t substitutions, capitalization and punctuation and the first n (like I'm telling you guys) letteres from the service I'm logging into added to the end.
I've thought about buying a cheap Android tablet and mounting it on my wall for the same purpose. It'll probably be 5-8" display, but it'll have touch screen.

It'd be easy enough to write my own TODO app and just have the tablet display that webpage with auto-refresh and have big text and buttons like 'complete' or 'snooze' a task.

I've also been developing my own sensor network around the apartment, so it'd be nice to display that. No more needing to look at the small master display or check webpage on computer.
It depends really, if you don't expand and just work as cofounders willing the take just what they need to get by then that kind of money is going to last a long time. You are right if you are looking to hire full time employees though.
XHR became standard in 2004. When did "Ajax" really begin to take off? 2005-2006.

The DOM? Not sure what you are implying.
I don't see how it's specious to prefer javascript syntax over python syntax for asynchronous code. It's an aesthetic consideration and so it's less about the fact that you can have the same sorts of functionality and structures in both environments and more about which style people prefer.

I really don't understand why whenever somebody switches to node from python people pounce on them like this, as if people aren't allowed to find a particular syntax annoying?
Run old games in DOSBox in the browser
My understanding is that they kind of do -- any game which allows in-game purchases must do so using facebook credits. You can set up a different "instance" of a game, but to allow interaction with the FB players, you have to tie it in to their currency.

This means any emerging viral/social type game will be effectively locked in to facebook. (Those with clout, like Zynga, are able to negotiate better terms.)

Dead on.

The problem with equity is that at most venture backed companies, rank and file employees don't know what percentage of the company their equity package represents, or could represent in the future. Naive employees (most of them younger) chasing startup riches often like to think in terms of "If I own 1% of the company and it sells for $500 million I'll be rich!" but if you ask them what ownership interest their 75,000 stock options might represent, they won't be able to tell you.

Employees who think "it's all about equity" would be wise to consider the following:

1. It should go without saying that if you're granted stock options, which is typical unless you're a founder, you don't actually own any portion of the company. A stock option is, obviously, simply an option to purchase stock at a fixed price at a future date.

2. Assuming your employment is at-will, you do not have control over the vesting of your stock options. You could be terminated at any time, including before a large portion (or even all) of your options vest.

3. Dilution is a fact of life at venture backed companies. If you join a company early, your expectation should be that you will be diluted, and significantly. This dilution can also be rapid (i.e. a dilutive new round of funding closes a month after you join the company).

4. There are plenty of ways the value of any equity you own (or may one day own) could be diminished. If your company is acquired, for instance, but the acquisition results in the exercise of a liquidation preference, it's conceivable that your equity will be be worthless, or of such minimal value as to be effectively worthless.

Bottom line: if you're not making six-figures and aren't already independently wealthy, which covers most of the young folks who think equity is an apples-to-apples substitute for salary, accepting a significant pay cut for "equity" is sort of like planning your financial future around the assumption that you'll one day win the lottery.

As they say, "one in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Facebook Fires Back at Google+ With New Gaming Features
How browsers make money, or why Google needs Firefox
Google released the world's largest corpus and did us a favor by analyzing it for n-grams. For example, they found that the phrase "serve as the initial" was over a 100 times more common than the phrase "serve as the insurance". [1] For $150 you can buy the 24GB data set yourself, so it's a fair assumption that makers of password crackers could reliably guess common phrases first. [2]

My Indian pal is more interested.. Few questions from him:

1. Will PG make it in India?

2. Can I fly there to attend? Will the stay be arranged?
There is a distinction to be made here. Libya had a large proportion of protestors in comparison to rioters. More importantly, the motivation was solidly political. There was a clear goal and demand for greater freedom.

In contrast, the UK rioters that spawned out of the initial protest was nothing more than an assortment of various criminal groups that used a political excuse to attack and rob ordinary citizens.
"free flow of information can sometimes be a problem" — I never thought I'd hear these words from a British PM.
Everyone is starting to generalize wildly about 'Britain'. London + Birmingham is not the same as Britain. The problems of urban Britain are not the same as the problems of Britons outside the major cities. London has 13% of the population. As a member of the underclass in Britain, I resent being called uncivilized. Well, I would if I didn't have a sense of humour.

Now, where's my nearest Apple store.
your analogies are flawed. stop trolling.
Well written article but this password scheme is neither convenient nor feasible for lay persons. You have to remember 5 different passwords and also remember which websites belong each category. If you're an active enough internet user that you need 4/5 password tiers, you're going to have plenty of websites that straddle the line between BS and important. This sort of fine-grained categorization just adds to the cognitive overload, which is the current problem with password management we're trying to solve.

I'm pretty convinced that the right solution is to use a password manager with one very strong password that you memorize.

98.6 Degrees Fahrenheit Ideal Temperature for Keeping Fungi Away and Food at Bay
1] Due to legal reasons as the dollar amount was not publicly announced among other terms agreed upon, I would prefer not to disclose the business name here to avoid any repercussions.

2] If you count from the first line of code written till acquisition... 25 months. If you count from public launch till acquisition... 21 months.

3] We weren't looking to sell. Things just happened that way and the overall reason for selling is a lot more complicated than I'd like to dive into at the moment.

4] Total acquisition valuation was $15M. Since we didn't raise outside capital (no angel or VC investments), there was no dilution. There were two cofounders (myself and one friend) and two early hires that were vested. If it matters, we were cashflow net positive at the time of acquisition with over a dozen employees.
I glanced through "easy cases", and the "guessing the solution" part looks more like "we somehow magically know that the solution is among these 3 or 5 possibilities, now we eliminate obviously wrong answers and lo, we found a solution".

Seriously, just look at the treatment of Gaussian integral. They wonder if the solution is sqrt(pi alpha) or sqrt(pi/alpha). Then they rule out the first possibility. Yeah, that's fine, but why sqrt and pi at all? Why not sin and e? Or gamma function and ... oh well this actually is a gamma function, but nevermind.

Guessing is easy, if you already know the solution.
When counting the entropy you would probably count each word as a single entry, and each special character as an entry (and disregard spaces).

* By capitalizing the words you've doubled the search space for words (assuming that the search space starts with all words lowercased)

* You could increase the search space for each word by 200% (from the space of all lowercase words) by including the possibility of words in all caps (it's unlikely for people to start using alternating case in the middle of words).

* The ' in "Don't" doesn't increase the search space that much because there are a small number of (common) contractions like that, and each of them would only break down into 3 permutations:

don't
dont
don t

(though the last one is highly unlikely). So you're adding maybe 30 more words to a search space much large than that.

* As far as the special character is concerned, it probably doesn't add too much to the search space. You can break down your phase like so:

Don't Forget About Poland!
||
\/
{item} {item} {item} {item}{item}
||
|| Disregard whitespace (acquire entropy!)
\/
{item}{item}{item}{item}{item}

So now you've got 5 items. Each item could be either a word or punctuation. The search space for words is huge. The search space for punctuation is small. Your algorithm just has to realize that if it chooses punctuation for one of the items, then it doesn't bother to use whitespace to separate it from the preceding word ("word," vs "word ,").

* You can also further reduce the effects of punctuation on the search space by realizing that punctuation will almost always follow a word, and not other punctuation. This also discounts punctuation as the first item in the passphrase too.

Edit:

Upon further though, if the attacker uses a simplified algorithm to account to upper-/lowercase, then it may not have that much of an effect on the search of each individual item (i.e. n!4 instead of (n+4)!). An attacker could break the common instances of case down into:

* All words lowercased "don't forget about poland!"
* All words uppercased "DON'T FORGET ABOUT POLAND!"
* All words titlecased "Don't Forget About Poland!"
* First word titlecased "Don't forget about poland!"

This discounts the possibility of people alternating titlecase across words, because that's probably as likely to happen as people alternating case within words (e.g. WoRdS lIkE ThIs). Granted, this also discounts proper nouns in the middle of the passphrase (things that don't require extra effort for people to remember to capitalize).

Facebook unveils revamp to games platform

1. Were your developers granted actual stock, or were they granted options?

2. Your company is angel-backed. If and when it wants or needs to raise additional funds, is the company obligated to protect said developers from dilution?

Assuming that you're a typical angel-backed company, the answers to these questions are "stock options" and "no." Which would mean that:

1. Your developers don't own anything.

2. Your developers don't have an equity interest (or potential equity interest) that they can trust will actually represent a specific percentage interest in ownership if and when their options are exercised.

I don't mean to pick on you, but your comment highlights two things:

1. Just how loosely the word own[ership] is used when it shouldn't be.

2. How percentages are used to inaccurately describe potential equity stakes when those potential equity stakes cannot be reliably translated into percentage-based (potential) ownership interests.

What if the only participants were mutual funds and individual traders with no significant market microstructure strategies. Half of all orders would still be resting orders, the other half would hit the bid/offer in some way. Sometimes you'd lose more due to this, sometimes you'd make more. But it would be a "fair" coin.

Let's say on average it was $0.01 per dollar. As soon as someone entered the market with some microstructure expertise and strategy, everyone but the microstructure guy starts making (say) $0.005 half the time and losing $0.006 the other half.

Reducing some of the randomness and providing more consistency is certainly worth something; you can imagine an example where it was +/- $0.50 per dollar reduced to +$.005, - $.006, but note (assuming the same dollar volume) that the HFT guy would still be making the same amount of money as in the previous example, where he was providing much less value. I.e. the cost that HFT commands isn't strongly tied to the value it provides. This is without even delving into the latency-arbitrage arms race cluster fuck.

Hi starwed, I'd love an invite to google+ if you'd be willing. I'm not an FB user, but the google folks have me all curious. My email is in my profile, and thanks a million!
Yes, I actually noticed this as well. I unfortunately don't have any clue as to why though.
It happened so fast that it’s hardly been noticed in the media.
RIM may not even know it themselves.

The suggestion that RIM may not know about it shows complete lack of knowledge, it's obvious from the marketing over the past two years that not only do they know it, they made it happen.

See for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnysB4BC5Ng and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvYlENP50jA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvqlZzhZb4Y and http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/media/tracyandmatts_blog...

As to the media not noticing... well I've seen them notice it on numerous occasions. I don't recall if I've read an entire piece based around this one subject, but I've seen it mentioned many times as a note in a piece about RIM, or about a certain phone, or whatever.

Edit: here's another example which answers both points, http://www.slate.com/id/2213555/ (Blackberry sponsoring U2 tour). Not only is that a demonstration of Blackberry targeting this new wider audience, in March 2009, it's also an example of the media noticing.

I think it is really people that is the problem. People should be banned.
The whole point of a 'pick random words' scheme is to maximise the amount of entropy. With every stipulation on the form of the words you make your scheme ever so slightly less effective.
