Damn, that sucks. But why don't you try to make money in a different way? When I look at http://notifo.com/pricing I can't see you making (immediatly) money with this strategy. I think you'll have to become really big before services will pay for it.

I read in the comments that people like the github notifications, why not focus on developers & try to ask eg. $27 a year for it? I think if you look for low hanging fruits, you can certainly make a living from it. And once you do that, grow, grow,.. :)
Yeah, not all in life is money, some of us love to create things.

I had been EXPENDING my own money for my own projects so that is minus $10,000 a year.

Oh, I almost forget, not everybody lives in NY or Silicon Valley, there are cheaper places to live around the globe where $30,000 is a lot of money.
Which AWE are they talking about? I suspect it's this one:

Well done sir, nicely put.

"While you have very limited sources of potential funding, we have virtually unlimited investment opportunities"

Interestingly, in his interview on Mixergy [1], Oren Klaff (author of Pitch Anything) describes money as the ultimate commodity. You can get money anywhere, there's only one of ME.

He discusses this as "prizing". It's definitely worth a look (the book is also pretty interesting).

The one thing which struck me is how expensive a year's worth of cloud hosting is. No wonder there has been such a kerfuffle about "the cloud". The other costs - including rewards - are pretty much to be expected.

From my perspective decentralized social network systems seem to be succeeding, with people running them upgrading their servers to cope with the influx of Facebook and G+ exiles. However, I think that Diaspora made a few mistakes which meant that they didn't get as far as they could have in the first year. One was poor communication about what they were doing and their state of progress. Another was a poor initial choice of software which made it hard to install.
I've been using Notifo for almost a year now (I think) and I always liked everything about it except the fact that it was free. I couldn't see how the company stands to make money without charging users.

So I always suspected this moment would come and I always wondered — why not simply charge people? I would have gladly paid, say, $20 a year — just for the limited amount of notifications I receive. It's a valuable service that appeals to an audience that values their time. Sure, you can hack your own notification system, but why bother if someone already did it for you?

I use Notifo with github, my monitoring systems, my backup systems and a bunch of other things. Again, charge me on the order of $20-$30 a year, and I'll pay.

Raw milk has a lot the bacteria needed to make the cheese already in it. Cheesemaking is basically farming bacteria... You get more variability and a generally better product with unpasterized cheese.

I mainly eat cheese from unpasteurized milk...
The baseball metaphor actually struck me as a little odd, why a foul out not a fly out?

And, given you haven't had a recorded out but instead just failed to find the success needed to get on base, perhaps you just kept fouling the ball off until you got tired and decided to retire :)
Well, Diffie-Hellman wouldn't work very well for this since any conversation between my server and the client would take a long time, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting.

The motivation behind the scheme I came up with is that it could be done with no pre-communication, hence why my RSA public key would be hardcoded into the client.
Funny thing is, I just transferred 1TB of data from work to home (offsite backup) in just 5 minutes today... via bicycle even! Didn't even think of that until just now. Guess the saying still holds true then!

Although to be fair, doing the backups took considerably more time - a usb external hard disk doesn't copy 1TB that quickly...

I think there are too many startups that don't even try to charge users. If the word "free" is all over your web page, I'm immediately worried.

As we can see from this discussion, there are people who would gladly pay -- obvious question is how many and whether they would support the business.

TIP: Sites like github are your friends...Not only can you establish when you had the idea (Yes that means writing that README file) but also how you progressed and finished the execution of the idea in very fine detail.

Yes...the date on the commits can be forged but not the github server logs...on this note..github needs to provide support for certified commits.

Lastly,I am fairly certain that a patent troll is not going to commit and push to github...the amount of evidence he has will be probably be insignificant when compared to your commit data.
"wollw" and "DrJ" I am talking about command auto completion, not word auto completion inside the editor.

In emacs, for word auto completion M-/ is just too awesome.
Giving or lending? I can't find accurate numbers. Much of the money was loaned to companies to weather the crisis. It had to be paid back. How would lending to a bunch of risky startups make things better? The govt should create an environment where it is desirable for entrepreneurs and investors to take risks.

Anyway, whining about the financial crisis and saying they got more is pointless. What is the best way to create a system in which startups can thrive? Guaranteed loans for everyone probably isn't the answer.
And yet of the non-techy people I know, they all either use Skype or MSN (or, game-playing friends, Steam Friends).

Changing Acid3 - wiki page for an upcoming 2011 update
How many people do you know who didn't create a startup because of patents ?

I'm not saying patent reform isn't important, but it's probably not even in the top-100 problems the average startup faces.
"This is completely wrong"

"Do not listen to this person."

Please tone down a bit.

Moreover, I agree with grand-parent: tones should not be held as the most important part when studying Mandarin. It is not.

Tones are completely different from one part of China to the other. In Sichuanhua, a horse is MA4 (down), while it is MA3 (down-up) in Beijinghua and in Putonghua. Quite the opposite. Beside these differences, Sichuanese can be understood in Beijing.

I have been 8 years in China, I work in a Chinese company, I listen, speak, read and write Chinese (not perfectly, but good enough). I never cared that much about tones. I cared about understanding what is said and being understood.

Having enough vocab is the main issue. Knowing the different syntactic sugars used in Mandarin is another. Perfect pronunciation of Putonghua tones is of much lower importance.

That's likely all the installed stuff you have accumulated over time with components set to run at startup - not the OS itself. Think programs like iTunes, Flash, Skype, Java, to name just a few common things people install which is guilty of this (annoyingly even Microsoft's own programs like Messenger can contribute to the problem too). All of them do stuff at startup, be it checking for updates or kicking off background services.

Have a look at Autoruns[1], which is a great SysInternals tool to show you what is set to run at startup, and lets you selectively disable them.

I forgot to add: my current temporary location is in an unincorporated part of the county, although part of the plot of land is in a 3rd city. What sales tax rate should be assigned to me for mail orders? For fairness (if you believe in doing this at all, which I don't), it ought to be the business district where I do the most shopping (the one that at the moment has precious few functioning businesses since most were totaled if not totally destroyed).

(Note that I don't agree with charging sales tax on mail order purchases; the mail order companies do not benefit from taxes except, say, though that maintain public order, and that's party captured by the delivery companies they use which do pay local taxes (except for, I assume, the USPS, but that's another issue).)

I'm more familiar with C++ lambdas, and in those you must specify how you will capture variables (no capturing, by reference, by value, or some mix of those).
Very nice, though it felt strange to me that you could progress by "cheating" if you did the simplest thing that would work e.g. matching a single character that happened to be in the sentence.

I'd suggest either blocking progress, or giving an extra bonus award, if you match the strings entirely. This might also lead naturally onto capture later where you have the expected capture on the right.

Possibly adding many more non-matche test cases might be worthwhile as well. Perhaps hiding the hundred or so non-matches, and only revealing them if accidentally caught by a submitted regex?
Since static binaries don't use shared libraries, LD_PRELOAD has no effect - it is the same as with assembly code you mentioned.

Impressed with your resourcefulness!

Now, if only people at US T-Mobile saw your app the way I see it - an alternative way of accessing and browsing the web in cases of emergency - not only would you not get shut down, but you'd be given extra resources to develop this further, public praise on creative use of their services and so on.

Of course, if I was Verizon - whose service you say did not work - I wouldn't wait for T-Mobile to get their hands on you first. I'd contact you immediately and I would make sure Verizon's network worked like a charm.

There's ton of completely free PR to be gained here.
If the community picks it up and starts developing it (in addition to developing with it) great. But if all the code is written by Google employees, and they then get reassigned, you'll be left either learning how to write compilers or hoping that someone else, not at google, already has. You wont be completely, and immediately fucked, like we are on GAE. But you'll be adding "rewriting all our code within the next two years" to your to-do list.

Stem the Flood of Recruiter Emails with a Domain List
I'm quite excited about this. LDAP has always been an interesting protocol, but with rather complicated implementations.

Node.js in general seems to have potential in reviving various purpose-designed protocols, as they will be just as easy to handle as HTTP.

If I find the time, I'll look into connecting this with NoCR (https://github.com/NoCR/NoCR), as that provides a standard tree handling API with different storage back-ends.

"(All these mentioned people who have access to school/family computers they can't play with because of the risk of breaking? They could use QEMU or VirtualBox and Linux right now)."

Except that if you're the kind of person who doesn't have enough knowledge to set that up for your eight year old, are you really going to let them try and do it themselves?

There's a big difference between "Hey mum! My new teacher gave me this massive manual: can I install a whole load of programs you never heard of on the family computer?" and "Hey mum! My new teacher gave me this instead of a textbook. Can I borrow the tv to do my homework?"

It also skips the whole 3rd world scenario.
Cheap Maternity Clothes and Tips
Cheap maternity clothes can also be found out there if you are for instance in tight budget. There is perhaps no greater delight for a female than to learn that she is about to deliver a little angel. Pregnant females can still look amazing with the inexpensive clothes for maternity as long as they are prudent to make their selection. The glory of being a pregnant female can bedevil the female when they start to worry about the expenses involved and also be terrified about physical discomfort, such as having ankles swelling up and experiencing morning sickness.

Heh. We've run into this very problem for one of our clients, who occasionally needs to share hefty files with remote contractors. Dropbox and other centralized services was a no-go. It needed to be idiot-proof.

We're just about done coding up a pretty nice little system that allows users to log in and upload a file through a web interface along with a destination email address. File gets permanently stored to their local server along with some other details, and a copy gets temporarily sync'd up to an external server with better bandwidth. After the sync is complete, an email is sent to the destination, and the recipient receives a link to click on which will immediately begin the download, with no intermediate nonsense.

Files can be downloaded only once, and only for a specific period of time (currently hardcoded to 24 hours; configurable later). Information is recorded when the file is downloaded, and sync'd back to their internal server. Admins can choose to receive email notifications when files are shared, and can later look at the originals.

It's pretty OK. I've been thinking about adding it as a what-the-hell feature to some of our other stuff. Maybe I should.
Another example, letting the office PBX send a notification for missed calls through notifo. I always figured it was a niche product, but it should have been big enough to succeed.

No, I'm pretty sure it's entirely about the Atomic Weapons Establishment's main product line. The NIF isn't actually a practical fusion reactor design -- the output energy from one of its fuel capsules is an order of magnitude less than the input energy that powers the laser, whereas a viable reactor would need to produce an order of magnitude more energy ... at least once a second, rather than once every few months, and using fuel pellets costing at most a couple of dollars, rather than several hundred thousand.

What the NIF is good for is weapons research -- it's critically important to the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockpile_Stewardship_and_Manag... ). And of course the AWE faces much the same issues in maintaining the British strategic nuclear deterrent as the NNSA does in maintaining the US warhead stockpile ...

If they wanted to back fusion research for electricity they'd be pumping money into ITER (the conservative option) or taking a flutter on pollywell devices (the hopeful long shot that might deliver a shortcut).
I think Google could be interested in creating something that would make web app development on client side easier. Ie something to replace Javascript and maybe more closely tie in DOM, CSS and client-server communication.

Right now this problem seems to be usually solved by writing the software with some other language and the preprosesing or compiling it to Javascript.

Obviously a new language alone does not solve the problems but maybe a good combination of a language and framework would.
I don't understand how it's a conflict of interest. OK, they now create content in addition to searching other people's content. The goal of Google is to "organize the world's information", not to be an independent source of search results. They are a company who gets money when you use their website. Producing content for your visitors is not a "conflict of interest", because Google has never claimed to be acting in any interest other than making money.

The only interest that would conflict with Google's is one that made people stop using their website.
You bring up an excellent point about the difference between bootstrapping and being funded. When you are on your own, profits are good, period.

It's not that new - I've been using this ever since twitter said they would close down the old interface and force the new one upon me. It's fast, nearly complete, and convenient.

It also doesn't have the incredibly annoying "endless page" scroll.

Much to be preferred.
I made an easy to use service for this purpose, up to 100 MB upload. Within weeks it was a hotbed of .rar files with very questionable content so I shut it down. I don't have time enough to babysit each and every upload.
