What's with the sporatic clutters of watermark-like words in the video? I wish they would show how this material was being collected, or perhaps some indication of whether what they show is raw or edited. It's obviously at least cropped to be composed in the same way as the original video, to make the comparison easier. This makes me feel like everything about this isn't being shown, and the implicit dishonesty (or at least incompleteness) makes me skeptical.
Could you provide more details on your projects?
I missed the part where the author asked his friend to have other music apps pulled on order to promote his own app? Apparently this is what Chamath did, and what Morin tried to keep from happening.

> In the ideal case, you have the option to choose among competing platforms.

My ideal is not to entrust my livelihood to any third party.

Obviously, it depends on what I want to build, but so far I'm happy not using any social platform beyond, say, email. The free, open platform of the Internet, LAMP stack, a web framework, and search engines is fine for me. I almost, but not quite, regret the time I've put into using Facebook at all, never mind basing my livelihood on it.
I like my anonymity so cannot give more details, hope you understand :)

What happened to Google's keyboard navigation?
When Google Instant was introduced, they also added a feature where a little blue arrow was shown next to the top result, and you could use the up/down keys on the keyboard to navigate the other results in the page. This was a cool feature for several reasons, the best one being that you could do a Google search and "click" the link you wanted without using the mouse at all (just hit enter on the link you want)! But a day or two ago this disappeared. Does anyone have any news on this decision? Will it come back? It was a great feature and I'd be really sad to see it go.

Ask HN: Bored? Please give me some feedback on my new project -- Enstoria.com
Last week, I launched a new project, enstoria.com, and I didn't get much feedback or tractionfrom friends or family on it (aside from the usual, great idea! I'll get right on it!).

Enstoria is a dead-simple way to share your favorite stories. Tried to make the UI simple. There's no set-up, no new account to create (fb or twitter login), and a pretty simple form.

Something just isn't clicking with it, and I'm too close to see why...
This is true and thanks for the rant. :)

Marco.org just had a post (http://www.marco.org/2011/09/23/business-insider) about how biz insider slices and dices his stories for their benefit. (After reading and thinking about his post, I removed BI from my morning reading list).

Honestly, I don't see this getting any better - and I'm usually an optimist. I think FB will make more of these deals with partners and we'll get more and more of the reactionary media type broadcast. All bites of info, very little substance; ADD to the extreme.

I'm in the middle of the argument that FB is bad and FB is here to stay get over it and assimilate. I developed a few FB apps in 09-10 and at first I thought it was awesome. The last app I did asked for a bunch of permissions because we needed access to someone's feed so we could create/read posts that were specific to our app. That was all good, but then I would look at the logs in our server for the feed updated callback and not only would it never stop (was kinda amazing to watch this), but we had access to all these people's feeds - like everything.

I have to think this is typical now and I know most of my relatives (young and old) grant this type of access and don't really understand what it means. In my mind, they clearly do not grep what is possible. And why should they? They're not programmers, they're just regular people.

This coupled with the FB copyright rules pushed me off the platform. My girlfriend still uses it (too much imo), my family uses it, and I still have my profile on there, but I'm not adding any more content. I think at this point it's more important to me - even as a programmer - to live life and create my own things. That's the only counterpoint I can see to a world where it's garbage in, garbage out.

I wonder if this applies to software craftsmanship as well.

Do people feel more connected when they build code from source, possibly tweaking the installation path or some other minor variable, vs doing an apt-get, yum, port, or other automated means of software installation?

Or is this a bizarre "I did it the hard way" bit of machismo?
I assume Facebook wants to add this to your timeline too?
I don't think you should avoid those situations either, the thing is you need to set your expectations to what is realistically possible. A startup is a gamble, we all know that - and you are increasing the odds against you when you are relying on some third party. It doesn't mean everyone should stop working with third parties, but it does mean that it is a sizable risk that you are adding to your business model, and you need to be aware of that when analyzing the risks you are willing to take.

I would have liked to see a more realistic discussion of when QA helps the bottom line and when it doesn't. Plenty of software is sold and tolerated by users despite having bugs. If Microsoft waited until the bug count in Windows was 0, they would never ship, and would go out of business. In other words, this blog post is telling us that the correct amount of QA is higher than "no QA", but it is not helping us determine what the right amount of QA is.

I have helped build a HIPPA-compliant startup before. This particular startup was one which helped doctor's offices do automated scheduled appointment reminders. There is a lot to consider, but I wouldn't have called it "daunting". In fact, a lot of it that you should really consider doing anyway, if you're going to have any sort of sensitive data stored.

For one, you won't want to host the app on a standard VPS or cloud service. You'll either want a well-locked-down dedicated server, or to go with a hosting company that specializes in secure servers. We used http://www.secure-24.com/ for the web app I built. It was a huge pain in the ass, as we had to get special permission from the host everytime we wanted to install a ruby gem, and it usually took them at least an hour to get back to us.

Of course, you'll also want to make the entire site encrypted (a good practice anyway for any site with a login), and keep the database well locked-down.

The most difficult part for this app, though, was re-thinking some of the most common practices in web apps, such as the password reset. HIPPA-compliance says that, for example, a 16-year-old girl going to the gynecologist has a right to privacy from her parents, such that they should be able to know nothing about it. But some families monitor their children's email. So, if the girl belongs to a doctor's office, and they tell her to go to the site to manage her appointments, but then she forgets her password, we can't just automatically send the password reset to her email.

Likewise, be careful of things like what the failed login message says. If it indicates that the email does indeed exist, but that the password is wrong, that's not good, as it gives the user (who may or may not own that email address) some info about the person who owns that email: that they do have an account on your site.

One other thing is, you have to have a unique identifier for each person, a really unique identifier. At first, we were going to go with social security number, but you'd be surprised how un-unique that actually is. Aside from the fact that a lot of people in the US don't have an SSN, there are also duplicates from illegal immigrants and other people who obtained their number by some illegal means. I don't recall where, but there was some study done that showed that cell-phone number is much closer to being able to identify people 1:1 than SSN in the US.

Anyway, those are the things I can remember off the top of my head, it was a few years ago. I hope it helps. Just whatever you do, don't make it harder than it is, and skimp on any of the rules, this stuff is important and exists for a reason.
The answer depends on what is meant by "Western capitalism". There are fairly credible arguments that it, in the sense of the general structure created in the 19th and 20th centuries, is ending because of how firms are being operated and financed (end of the corporation thesis), for example. The free market pretty clearly hasn't failed yet, given that this severe a shock didn't actually bring about the downfall of civilization or the general system of exchange.
These are much more sensible that the OP's solution.

Just to be clear to anyone reading, because it's not really explained:

* OP double-protects the SSH key. It means you need the key's passphrase and another factor (Google authenticator) to decrypt the ssh key. Then the ssh key is used to auth with the server.

=> the authentication with the server is still one factor auth, compromising the key at any level still grants access.

=> obligatory analogy: OP did like that: put your car key in a box that also has a key. Attacker just need a copy of the key in the box to open the door (granted that he won't use any physical attack on the door :p)

=> 2 (or more) factor authentication should always be used on the component that does the final authentication.

* People using ForceCommand apply the 2 factor at the last step of authentication, that is, once the ssh key authenticated you correctly, you still need to authenticate to something else before being given access.

=> obligatory analogy: now you have a key and a cellphone. you turn the key in the car and the door doesn't fully unlock. you gotta enter a code given by the cellphone before it actually opens. if the attacker get a copy of your key, it's not enough. if the attacker gets a copy of your phone's passcode (even thus it changes each time), its not enough.
The potential that we could one day share exactly what we see in our imagination is so awesome, it's almost hard to imagine it! (Irony not really intended)

If our brain would have stored all those detailed information, it would have been slow as the computer that we have now

I am a single founder of http://www.fantasysp.com , a fantasy sports news aggregator. Shows real-time player trends and allows you to sync and manage multiple fantasy teams from ESPN,CBSSports,Yahoo! etc. It is completely bootstrapped with zero outside funding. Relies on advertisements and user subscriptions for money.

I cannot live off FantasySP completely, though it certainly more than pays for itself to the tune of a few thousand per month. I currently do have a day job for a startup company. However, this month my site got more pageviews than my day job.

So successful? Yes, to some degree but not like the other folks here. There are still mountains to climb.
I think you'll agree that it's much more likely that we'd had Android 3.0 on phones if they released the source code, than that you'd become a millionaire if you bought a lottery ticket. After all, people have done that to previous open source Android releases, I can even install the latest Android release on my iPhone.
This seems to be another example of where Microsoft has lost its way and simply become a battleground for management turf wars. I've read numerous stories of how the Windows and Office divisions (in particular) have thrown their weight around.

Frankly I blame Steve Ballmer. The buck stops at the top. He's not a technology guy. He's just a middle-manager who happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Compare this to Google, where I work. I'm just a software engineer with no reportees but there are precisely four people between me and Larry.

Take any software engineer at MSFT and find out how many people are between them and Steve. Frankly, I think that'll be a telling (damning) statistic.

I refer you to the (excellent) My first BillG review [1]:

> In those days, Microsoft was a lot less bureaucratic. Instead of the 11 or 12 layers of management they have today, I reported to Mike Conte who reported to Chris Graham who reported to Pete Higgins, who reported to Mike Maples, who reported to Bill. About 6 layers from top to bottom. We made fun of companies like General Motors with their eight layers of management or whatever it was.

Favourite Interview Process
For me, it goes to the fact that I'm not the same person to different people. The fact that I'm willing to share some things with certain people does not imply that I'm willing to share everything with those people.

Very few systems make it easy to manage multiple (and shifting) sharing relationships, so not sharing by default is the easiest thing to manage.
