Given above is also a similar(not the same) kind of attack, which can bring down an apache web server.

Quoting from this link, "It is not entirely clear which web servers have the means to defend against the attack, but there is general agreement that there is no way for Apache to completely defend against it, and that IIS is not vulnerable to the slowloris technique."

Also quoting, "Obviously, this is an application level attack. In their book on Internet Denial of Service, Mirkovic/Dietrich et. al noted that application level DoS is difficult to handle: "[...] many defenses are not able to help you defend against this kind of attack".

So we are back to what the Apache Security team concluded: This is an inherent problem for servers. If you want to serve, then you have to accept clients, and, if they intend to block you, so be it.

But, let's not give up so fast. Obviously, if the well-known proprietary alternative from Microsoft, IIS, is not affected by this problem, there are other solutions. What IIS does differently, is in the way it handles incoming requests: There is no static tie between a worker thread and a network socket in IIS. Rather, the workers are organized in a pool where they wait for incoming TCP packets (rather than TCP connections as Apache does). These packets are then assigned dynamically to threads. So, an idle connection occupies a socket, but it does not block an entire thread. Thus the web need not be shut down by penny-wielding customers or slowloris. "

If all that the attack has to do with is TCP/IP and has nothing to do with the (type of) web server, it should bring down an IIS server as well. No? Then why is that not the case, above?

1. Any denial of service attack will have to be about connections and therefore tcp/ip. Is that what I missed mentioning? But that is not what this is about.
2. Even http also belongs to the family of tcp/ip
2. The point here is that the attack takes advantage of the way apache or nginx treat connections. It is not a simple tcp/ip flooding.
4. What was it, again, that I am marketing, here?

My interpretation is that he's too shy to ask for help. Most manic depressants are just that, depressed, they hide in their hole and someone has to dig them out (possibly themselves).

Posting self-loathing material is subtle for someone to come along and pick up their shoulders. They know what they're doing is unhealthy or irregular but won't outright admit it because it shows weakness. "My life sucks but I march on and continue to produce acceptable deliverables" is a pride thing.

tl;dr - start slowly, admit that you can improve your life and STILL churn out those code snippets and you'll find yourself happier!

Newspaper grid layout, downloads the text of the stories, he even used a very similar font in his header graphic to the font in my header graphic -- and the font in my header graphic was a whimsical indulgence because it doesn't really look like a newspaper header font at all. The New York Times and many, many other papers use heavy gothic fonts for their names, and I think that if he got the design from there, he would have done the same.

Hello,

Thank you for this - I wholly take on board what you have said, and I pretty much agree with everything. I guess I should explain - I have seen a lot of non tech people on here post about ideas, and then get completely shot down at the first hurdle for fundamentally not being a tech person - a Catch 22 if you will.

As for my background - 29yo female Biochemist, published twice. Have done analyst work (taught myself visual basic), and have also done B2C marketing.

I love my idea, I am so passionate about it - I just didn't want to get immediately slated by loads of developers thinking I know nothing, an insurance policy for my idea that I have invested a lot of my time and energy in.

In terms of not convincing one person to take on my idea, I have convinced everyone I have pitched to so far - but none of them are tech developers. People have certainly commented on my passion for the idea, and I am far more positive than I clearly sounds here. Just goes back to not wanting to be shot down before people have even read the whole post.
The author seems to focus on the number of bodies/man-hours invested in each startup weekend. These are hardly the most important metrics to consider. One of the main advantages that startup weekends have is that the groups present are self-selected. You couldn't randomly pick an equal number of people off the street and put them through the same program and expect to come up with the same results, because the self-selected group will have motivation that increases their productivity and success rate massively. And on a small scale, this is more likely to be a "successful/unsuccessful" binary scale, e.g. a startup whose founders are 20% as motivated will not create 20% as many jobs; it will in all likelihood create 0 jobs.

I used the concept of "a good hacker". That is a loose definition, that may mean different things to different people. I consider a good hacker someone that has passed the commonly know 10.000 hours of programming experience, and who has studied and experienced various different programming paradigms.

So it is opportune to make the clarification, and I think that I agree with your comment.

Turing allegedly killed himself by putting cyanide in an apple in and eating it. That is, according to urban legend, why the Apple logo has a bite taken out of it.

Probably entirely false, but a neat idea.

And re: established narratives, I think often times the people reporting on great minds like Turing, Tesla, Einstein, etc., just can't even fathom their abstraction and the level they think on.

I'm learning emacs also, but I have been using it since perhaps 1990. Steve's article has a lot of good stuff in it.

However, there is one world-changing programmer that I know of (and I would guess there are likely others) that is rumored to have used VI and not emacs. As I understand it, Paul Graham used (uses?) VI and not emacs. Oh, another is Cutler, writer of more OS systems than most of us have ever used: RSTS-11, Vax VMS, and Windows NT. He uses Slick Edit. I am sure the list goes on. Where I work, primary editors include Pico, Textmate, Emacs, vim, sublime.

Presumably you are here to build amazing stuff, and unless your Amazing Stuff is a world-beating editor, your editor is not your job. So don't get too hung up on the editor. Lots of good ones out there.

NYC has its charms, but it has its nightmarish qualities too.

People tend to live in places convenient to their first job. Getting around for work is a nightmare unless you live in an area served by the right public transit connections.

Now if you are young/poor enough or rich enough to live in Manhattan, it's a magical place.

Also keep in mind that the industry clusters in NYC aren't what they once were. Finance is the king kong of NYC industry.

Silicon Valley had a totally different kind of industry cluster -- you had a torrent of Federal dollars flowing in for defense work, which ultimately concentrated technical talent and created all sorts of spinoff industrial activity. NYC is a great place to make money, but it isn't the same as SV.
MBAs have a place in businesses, but most of the good points argued are just as easily (if not better) argued for engineers. Good engineers are way more analytical than MBAs (that's what they do!), and good engineers are often more ambitious and driven than the average MBAer.

Most of the successful MBAers I have met are actually engineers who have had a company pay for them to get their MBA to 'traditionally promote' them to a higher position in said company.

In my opinion MBAs are like glue that hold a company together, the glue is absolutely critical for the company but you also don't require an army of it.
Also, he uses low-contrast grey text on a white background (might be better readable on a better screen, but on my shitty laptop it makes things harder to read than necessary) + the navigation links on top have no text at all on them (this might be intentional, due to his server having problems).

I, for one, like my advices best from people with at least basic skills in the area. Or from people who at least try to adopt the things they say/just learned/want to pass on.
But if you must be something why can't you be "versatile" or "jack of all trades"?

Maybe not the best examples given but hopefully you see the point? I work for a company doing shell, C, Java coding... my manager comes up time to time asking if I can do something Python or TCL not because I can or can't do them, but because he knows I can pick them up fast enough to resolve the problem we're experiencing.

I mean... it's a newspaper format. There are only so many ways to implement that. Besides, the iPad app and the webapp look fairly different IMO.

As for the name, seems to me "hacker news paper" is a fairly obvious name to arrive at.

Not knocking your webapp. Just saying there really isn't an issue here.
Turing had more in common with Newton or Einstein...than with Henry Ford or Thomas Edison.

Yeah, I agree. It's really a shame more people aren't aware of his brilliance. His code-breaking literally did save a massive number of lives.
Having lived in the SF Bay Area (not Silicon Valley, but we were in "Silicon Gulch" in the 1990s) and now living in New York, I have to say that I do not see NY as the next Silicon Valley.

It takes more than just access to VC. The cultures are too different in the two areas.

New York has always been about commerce, literally since its founding as New Amsterdam. Finance is in the DNA, it's in the air, it's in the water. What is not here is a culture that values technology and knowledge for its own sake.

We don't have a Stanford or an MIT here. There's no feeder for the kind of thinking and culture you need to create a Silicon Valley.

The reason Xerox PARC flourished is because it was far away from the East Coast headquarters, and had the autonomy it needed to pursue research. If it had been in or near NYC, it's likely the pressure to come up with only short-term applied innovations would have been too great.

I get that Bloomberg wants to get a great tech university, but it will be born out of the desire to see more money, not the desire for knowledge for its own sake.

New York City will remain a financial engine, and continue to be a great place for VC and technology to come together, but it won't be the next Silicon Valley.

This is a such a great story. It's valuable for a lot of reasons, but I like it simply because it's a story of success from having a passion, working hard and persevering. Kind of the same way I don't think I could never watch too many inspirational movies (Remember the Titans, Miracle, Rudy, etc. come to mind), I don't think I could ever read too many stories like this.

You can't read stories like this all day (at some point you have to work on changing your corner of the world), but having something like this once a week is super motivating.
As far as 'if,but, maybes' go, if us British had recognised the brilliance of both men... However, one man is continually overlooked. Without Tommy Flowers' engineering brilliance, the work of both Tutte and Turing would have had less impact.

One thing I've always been curious about: Why not just have a large option pool, with the condition that in a liquidity event all unused equity in the option pool goes back to the common stockholders?

Firstly, I wish you the very best - I hope you find someone capable and who will share your passion.

Secondly, you'd be much better on HN writing this up on a blog or other web site, and then submitting the link. That will do several things - it will show initiative, it will let you be more expansive, and it will avoid the penalty ranking applied to link-less submissions.

(And if you didn't know about that penalty, don't admit it.)

Thirdly, social validation is valuable. I'd recommend finding and contacting a few well-known people on HN and telling them your idea. If they will put their names to it then more people will listen. Currently you have vague stories about the support you've received, but that holds little weight in this highly sceptical forum.

Finally, knowing why you are a domain expert would be invaluable. A potential technical co-founder will want to know what you bring to the table.

So good luck!

That's one take.

Another perspective that's occurred to me: this is a battle (in part) between the old world of software distribution (sold, in physical units, proprietary), vs. the new (SAAS, and to a small extent, free software distributed over the Net).

In the case of SAAS vs. desktop/locally installed software, it's hardly surprising that Google and Microsoft end up on opposite ends of this debate. What helps one most certainly hurts the other. And to that extent, other players in this game are probably pawns to an extent.

That said: SOPA is bad, bad, bad legislation and I'm very strongly opposed.
An interesting point I've observed (and I think it's been validated) is that, for some segments, Google is their domain search... if you tell them, "go to xyz.com", they type xyz.com on Google !
