A native app is in the roadmap. What 1FTP does that no other FTP apps do is allow you to share access with others without giving them direct access to the server. It's great for temporary contractors, or even employees who may quit at some point. You can simply 'unshare' access.
Good one - changed.
Believe me, I'd love to replace it :)

Ask HN: When and When Not To Have A Front Page Sign Up Wall?
By "sign up wall" I mean a front page that requires you provide information (location/name/email, etc) before you can enter the site.

When does it make sense to have a sign up wall the way Groupon or Quora does and when doesn't it make sense?

Should all new products do it and then stop at some point (when)?

Should user-generated sites do it (to reduce the friction of contributing later)?

Has anyone written intelligently about this?

What? Over the course of time that someone will own that iPod, they will most likely purchase multiple tanks of gas. Also, just because iPods are cheap doesn't mean that people will start buying them in bulk (or using them as a substitute for tanks of gas for that matter).

On the flip side, restaurants that are tired of the daily deal model may find Munch on Me to be a more enticing option. This is because Munch on Me’s core userbase consists of foodies, rather than bargain hunters. These are the type of people who are more likely to become repeat customers.

Why would the userbase consist of foodies and not bargain hunters? If anything, won't it consist of bargain hunting foodies?

Not only does the Navigation app on Android not reroute when traffic conditions change, but it will always prefer a route with a shorter distance (over major roads) than a faster route (with traffic).

In my adventures trying to avoid traffic in Minneapolis I've grown very frustrated with the Navigation app completely ignoring a route that will take me a little bit out of my way but is 10+ minutes faster due to the shorter routes having stand-still traffic.

This sounds like "online file sharing" which many people who work in "digital" refer to as "an FTP site".

So it's not actually FTP, it's HTTP, but you're using the common parlance amongst designers and video types of referring to anything used to share files with clients online as an "FTP site".

Such an annoying misappropriation of terminology ...

Could you explain the gravity assist portion a bit more please? A gravity slingshot only works when you transition from a regime dominated by one body (sun for example) to a regime dominated by another body moving relative to it (Jupiter for many outbound probes).

I guess you could use a scheme similar to Cassini where you're doing multiple gravity assist swings off anything at all to get every last erg of thrust but my gut feeling is that you're not gaining much relative to the delta v needed for your complete voyage.

It would make for a fun app though. Design your own Interstellar Mission!

Well being a billionaire means you knew how to make money from a market yesterday. It doesn't really mean they know how tomorrow. Odds will be better as you have resources to try but everything is a gamble. Knowing the odds help.

And so with that, I say the odds aren't so good in Detroit. The market is constantly shrinking. That is fact (see the wiki link). This spills over to exports as well. The last saving grace are the auto manufacturers, but as most economists say the reliance on them for exports must end[5].

For all you know the 'billionaires' will frack[1] all the entire land and what will you have then? Or maybe foreign nationals are buying the land to level it for agriculture, and not high tech or manufacturing which keeps jobs [2][3][4]. That would be nice, to see a farm land back on Detroit soil.

Yes maybe selling that $1k piece of land for $2k would be a good deal. You just made 2x or maybe even 10x (if you could) there. But who are you going to sell it to?

I've seen plenty of people and huge think tank laden corps (investment firms, banks, etc...) with massive amount of money blow it all for stupid decisions. Including during the 2008 CDO mess. Or just look at the current Euro zone situation, they're STILL bleeding.

Yes what is happening to Detroit is also happening to the rest of the USA. The only thing is Detroit was ground zero.

Rather than 'follow billionaires' I choose to forge my own path with my fellow entrepreneurs learning from all of this horrible mess.

Not at all. 1FTP connects to FTP servers, that's it. There's no storing of any files on our servers, it's just a pass through to provide end-user security (no sniffing passwords over wifi) and user access.

1FTP sits between the user and the FTP server, controlling access. User > 1FTP > FTP Server. Result: More secure, easy to control access (share and unshare, like Dropbox), log all activity to know who's doing what.

The big problem is that today everyone shares a single log in to the FTP server which is often passed around via email - to coworkers, outside agencies, contractors, etc. Everyone is logging in as the same user, so you no longer know who is actually logging in. 1FTP solves this, among other things.

> As for E. Michael Jones, he didn't start going into his theory of the Jews until after he wrote his other work.

Yeah, and I'm more than a little creeped-out calling anything this guy produces a "theory" or even "work".

Since you keep bringing up this guy's theories as such a transformative event for you and all, just for edification, here's what the Southern Poverty Law Center has to say about his "theory of the Jews":

"The magazine's cover stories over the last year or so are instructive: "Judaizing: Then and Now," "John Huss and the Jews," "The Converso Problem: Then and Now," "The Judaism of Hitler," "Shylock Comes to Notre Dame" and so on. Jones runs through all the usual anti-Semitic canards -- the ideas that "Jewish media elites" run the country, that Jews are "major players" in pornography, and that Jews are behind Masonry and the French Revolution -- but that's only the start. He also accuses Jews of poisoning society with thinkers such as Karl Marx (a devotee of Satan, says Jones) and Sigmund Freud (who set off an epidemic of sexual sin, he says). And he describes the World War II Nazi genocide of the Jews as "a reaction to Jewish Messianism (in the form of Bolshevism)." Last April, in an article raging about a new president of Notre Dame University, Jones charged that anyone who went to a mainstream university would emerge "with a Jewish world view … and maybe a Jewish spouse." Jones, who has written nine books and hundreds of articles, regularly cites extremist sources, especially the American Free Press run by veteran anti-Semite Willis Carto. He also has taken up race, most obviously in his "Rooted Culture" conferences that include a trip to Germany. The 2005 trip theme would be familiar to any neo-Nazi -- "the continuing deracination in Germany." Jones has one other line of business that would be familiar to the racist right: the "neo-ethnic songs" he sells as part of a bid to create what he calls a true "Volk" music."

Sounds to me like his "theory of the Jews" stupidity didn't exactly evolve too far from his "theory of the blacks", eh?

> Diversity + Proximity = War

And now...let's see here now...such an elegant little equation for Hacker News here and all...concise...and war...sounds harsh...so, according to the 2000 census, the following U.S. cities were more diverse than Detroit: Long Beach, Oakland, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Sacramento, San Jose, Chicago, Dallas, Anaheim, Newark, San Francisco, Miami, Riverside, San Diego, Fort Worth, Boston, Honolulu, Santa Ana, Milwaukee, Denver, Austin, Tampa, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Albuquerque, Tucson, Corpus Christi, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Cleveland, Buffalo, Arlington, Norfolk, Charlotte, Washington, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Omaha.

So they should all be war zones - that's what your equation tells us, eh? Yugoslavia. Bosnia. Ethnic cleansing in all those cities much more diverse than Detroit. Isn't that the phrase in the title of E. Michael Jones little racist book you keep leaving off for some reason: "The Slaughter of Cities: Urban Renewal as Ethnic Cleansing"?

Horseshit.
Those things are great for tech-savvy developers, but the majority of folks still use FTP - it's the defacto method for connecting to a webserver, and is what every web host emails to their customers. 1FTP will be a heck of a lot easier to set up than Git, or anything else.

It may not seem so to an experienced developer, but the experience for an end user with things like that is an absolute nightmare. We're trying to make it easier, not harder :)
I'm glad that you're so progressive, but you happen to be the exception. You also are reading what you want to, and not what I said.

The nationwide trend is that social interaction between Americans has been in decline substantially in recent years. This is pretty much across the board. Again, read Bowling Alone, or skim a review of it. These are quantifiable facts.

You can apply whatever judgement that you want, but the fact is that ethnic communities were and in some cases still are true communities that people feel a part of. Your suggestions are also great ways to build a community based on commonalities other than language and culture.

It depends on how narrowly one defines "documentation" and what one means by "best."

I.e. there's probably a book on Visual Basic that's a good fit for just about anyone's level of interest and programming experience...assuming of course that one has an interest in Visual Basic.

On the other hand, K&R is a concise and well written.

Yeah, that name seems destined to limit growth outside of coastal metros. It's too hip for its own good.

I sort of like the concept, because I eat out quite a bit. But coupons for individual dishes sounds like more work than I want to deal with. It's bad enough trying to remember coupon, restaurant, and expiry date, which is why I let my wife do most of the couponing. Having to check it against the menu as well seems like a refinement too far; foodies don't need an incentive to try a new dish, we do that anyway because we like food. Still, it's got a lot of potential.
1) Medicare Part D managed to spend a boatload of money while providing an absurdly small amount of care, most of it going straight to drug companies. I'm sure you could do worse if you actively tried, but you'd really have to try pretty hard.

2) And, the stimulus isn't contributing to that deficit, hence the comment about it being "hilariously orthogonal". It was also 1/3 tax cuts if you don't remember. Anyways, medicare Part D, the war in Iraq, the Bush tax cuts, and the near-doubling of military spending are contributing to that deficit, as well as tax base shrinkage due to recession. If we're counting relative to the last time we ran a surplus.

We use Limelight which is much cheaper than Cloudfront or Rackspace at 95th % > 1gbit. They are also well dispersed in the world minus South America.

Akamai is still by far the best at prices roughly equal to CloudFront and Rackspace (at 95th % > 1gbit).

CDNetworks is still the best in Korea. ChinaCache is the best in China (gov't owned probably..)

EdgeCast most likely the best in South America.

Australia is tough. Akamai still the best.
That's what I figured. Do not get that in my head at all when I think of "munch on me".
You're assuming an actual spec existed. When budgets are tight, the ability to hire someone occasionally comes out of nowhere with an insane deadline.

So instead of writing something up, the recruiter or manager googles around for "enterprise foobar developer", and copy/pastes a few pidgin english job descriptions from other places.

This arrives in HR, who then needs to translate slop into something that can be posted. Hence, the loop you described above.
Munch is used in various ways to describe oral sex, e.g., "carpet muncher", which refers to "eating out" a girl.

If you've been looking at the latest commits, effort is being done on adding type annotations to the Coffeescript grammar. Once these are completed, the resulting Javascript should be directly usable by the Compiler in advanced mode (to get the most optimized code with the Closure Compiler you will need type annotations for objects, function parameters and "typecasts"). I'm glad the effort is being focused on type annotations rather than Closure Library idioms (e.g. those under goog.array) at this stage. As someone who has to write lots of boilerplate code to leverage the power of Closure Library components I cannot thank this enough (and don't forget plovr!). Just the Coffeescript class declaration sugar that's working right now is quite powerful in terms of reduced noise in your code.

Because they built up a heap of infrastructure required to consistently offer some of the best prices for goods online. Competitors could only really compete in niches because the startup costs to get to amazons scale would be massive.

With group deals, all someone has to do is setup a basic website and start calling up companies to find better deals than Groupon is offering, the customer doesn't care which deals site is offering a deal as you can signup to a new one in about 5 minutes.

With the deals site I've found aggregators to be more useful than the individual sites as the one which has the deal doesn't matter much. If I was looking for a book I wouldn't worry about an aggregator but head straight to Amazon or Book Depository which is also now Amazon owned.

2) It actually looks like each of the items on your side is not a dish, but a deal. So if the same dish is on sale in a week, it will be a separate item, correct? If that's the case, I would change it.

3) Add names for dishes on the left hand side. Right now the only way to find out what I'm looking at is to click on it, which loads a new page.

4) Add a filter (right hand side) by type - vegetarian, dessert, etc.
I always wonder how entire cities ended up as ruins that were then lost and subsequently found by archeologists. It seems like what is going on in Detroit and other cities and towns is similar to what must have happened in many city's cases over the millennia.
