Idea Feedback: CMS Vault
A few ideas have been bouncing around my head for a while now so I decided to codify them on a Osterwalder-style business model canvas.

This particular concept is called CMS Vault. It addresses hosting disasters that I personally faced with clients' sites over the past few years, including failed upgrades, hackings, site-jackings, and buggy plugins.

What I'm looking for from the HN community is the following:

- intuitiveness of the overall concept.

- validation of stated problem.

- viability of the solution.

- tips for execution.

- market segmentation.

- cautionary tales.

The canvas can be viewed here:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/75834784/CMS-Vault

I will appreciate any and all feedback from the HN community.
Oh, sorry about that, you're right. It appears that the partner archive in Launchpad _does_ actually remove packages after a certain time. My bad.

Its quite possible that Robert LeFevre first said it. I first came upon the phrase in one of L. Neil Smiths books. I think it was the second book in the Probability Broach series, the one where he starts each chapter with a quotation, and this was one of them (attributed to a fictional character, according to memory.)
In Australia the classic British model of public servants giving disinterested advice has been steadily eroded by a) senior staff being placed on contracts and b) senior public servants behaving like political actors.

You understand of course that it's awfully hard to have a discussion about Constitutional Law with someone who rejects most of its concepts from first principles. You, for instance, seem to literally reject outright the concept of judicial review, despite the fact that judicial review is a process that was established during the time of the founding fathers, indeed in a dispute between Adams and Jefferson.

I respect your strong feelings on this matter, but you aren't arguing from US jurisprudence at all.

Design is Horseshit
I've only recently come across it myself. When I find the time to set up bookmarks and a low-maintenance ad block script I think uzbl may become my favorite browser as well. (Embedding uzbl in emacs would also be quite handy for in-frame web site testing or online reference materials.)

There are samples of each of these (and more), but like many FOSS projects a fair bit of the documentation is incomplete, out-of-date or both.

I love that uzbl adheres to the "unix-philosophy". Very powerful. For example, with uzbl it should be trivial (well, straightforward at least) to generate image thumbnails of web pages or to create an automated functional testing framework.

Uzbl should also be useful for kiosk applications, as you can easily obscure or lock down most of the general-purpose browsing controls.

I mostly agree with your comment; the CIA has been relatively benign compared to other agencies and the military at large. My own take on the moral implications of spying is that if you already have a Palantir, you might as well use it since more information is advantageous in the zero-sum games countries play. But I wouldn't go out of my way to find/build one--I think the resources could be spent to greater effect elsewhere in such a case.
Off topic, but Google's inability to know that I speak english (even though I'm logged in and I've configured various of its services with this information), is mind boggling. Seriously, how does my search-language setting not override my IP?
tl;dr - I don't think it's "butthurt" so much as people making it up as they go along.

There is sometimes a cultural or sub-cultural imperative to have and express an opinion on something even when there isn't enough information to go on.

I'm not sure how much of that is being American and how much of that is being on the Internet[0], but essentially it's not enough to just read the news anymore. If you don't have an opinion or belief (preferably a strong one) many people will regard you as ignorant, even if you're working from the same set of facts as they are.

When there's not enough information, it seems that people look first to familiar memes or established narratives. When it comes to US-Iranian relations, it's usually either the idea of American military supremacy (so it must have been an accident or Iranian bluffing) or the idea that the US intends to go to invade Iran any day now (so it's somehow an American ploy to start a war). There is a grain of truth in each which surely plays into the whole truth, but there are far too many unknowns for anybody commenting on the Internet to say with the kind of confident certainty that we so often do.

A site like Reddit (or HN, or anything with a comment box) amplifies this, because people like posting comments, and how can you comment on a story if you haven't decided what your opinion is about it? So people skim the article or just read the headline[1], draw conclusions which may be highly speculative, and then post whatever they think based on at most a few minutes of thought. And they might do this a dozen times a day, for years. So it becomes really natural for people to dash off whatever the easiest thing they can think to say is given the context, even as the context changes and the story evolves. On a popular story you might get dozens or hundreds of people saying the same handful of things.

Uzbl: Web Interface Tools Which Adhere to the Unix Philosophy
Except so many of those pieces are not generic.

That you think these pieces will never go with anything else shows you aren't thinking about what you can do with them, only what they are intended to be.

Thats the beauty of lego and imagination. The piece can be anything you want it to be. Is it the exhaust of a spaceship or the ear of an alien space monster? You decide!
That is just one example of the tone of this book, and I just don't like it, and I don't understand why it has so many supposedly adult people accepting things like:

> No, seriously, type it 20 times and say it out loud. Sssh. Just do it.

I supposed it was a kind of cold joke but it appears not to be. It is just very disrespectful for the reader. Grown up human beings are not to be taken by the hand like /this/ to learn something as serious and advanced as command line.
I'm sorry, but it's not a great price for a poor university student. I have played with backbone and spine some, but putting hacker cleverness aside, books are a great way to cut down the traversal of learning space. It saves time to read distilled knowledge from those who blazed the trail.

That said, best of luck with the book. I respect that you have specific plan in mind.

Edit: Seriously!? Why am I being downvoted over my financial status? Please point out what I did wrong.
That's the whole point of StackOverflow. It's not a discussion platform. It's a Q&A platform. You can dispute whether that's a good idea, but they know exactly what they are doing.
True, that would help too, but it makes it challenging in a setting where people need to be able to email url's (possibly to the internal application) and the like. If it was specific to a domain or page, it would be a bit more seamless.

Mark Kac and Stanislaw Ulam explained these concepts pretty intuitively in their beautiful book Mathematics and Logic. But, who was the first person who thought that mathematics could be explained without diagrams? Or equations?

Edit: In particular they showed on pages 58-60, without using jargon, how the idea of permutations leads to Cardano's formulas for the cubic.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. We are considering an offer now.
Now, that's quite unfair. Why did you go from arguing the point to characterizing me? It is false to claim I reject judicial review, I have never done so, and courts reviewing laws is one of the legitimate powers granted to them. Are you unable to distinguish between courts holding laws to be in conflict or unconstitutional, and courts deciding that the constitution is subservient to their opinion? In one they are taking the powers granted to them and exercising them, in the other, they are deciding that they are the supreme power, a clear usurpation. Even if you have trouble making this distinction yourself, or disagree with my perspective, it must be obvious that I do, and thus the characterization is quite unfair.

It's also unfair to say I'm not "arguing from US jurisprudence at all", because essentially you're saying "I'm not arguing without already conceding that the constitution is meaningless.", only you're putting it in terms that imply I'm being unreasonable.

Actually, I'll take that as concession of my points in full.

The constitution says what it says. IF you don't like it, or the government doesn't like it, it has provisions for how to amend it.

Ignoring it is something they cannot do, because when they do that, they lose authorization under it.

This is quite logical, and I think irrefutable.

Anyway, I understand your general line of attack, I don't find it compelling and feel that I've already refuted it... and comments on HN often go off into the weeds so, I'm done.

Good day!
This website had to stand up to Reddit/HN/Slashdot/Digg/Fark all at the same time. Not only that, but it had to continue functioning, people still had to be able to download the video they just paid for. You and I would be able to put this together ourselves no problem, but I could see why Louis would want to pay money to just have it taken care of.

Also, that figure might include the cost for bandwidth that it has cost to serve up the 1.2 GB file.

I am starting my son with perl and C. Today is his 8th birthday.

Why perl and C?

1) Perl is very good at ad hoc programming, and it;s a very good language for learning very basic things.....

2) C is simple language for very basic stuff, but it is exacting and makes you think like a programmer.

Once he gets half-way decent with simple things in Perl, he's ready for Lego Mindstorms ;-)
if google stopped providing free lunch, that's 20k employees times 250 lunches at $5/meal, or $25M. Give them a diet coke @ $0.20 instead for a 25x reduction in costs!!! that's more money saved than dwolla's entire busness!

lets not deliberately de-normalize our figures, yeah?
This "infographic" (it's a gallery!) got me so riled up that I felt compelled to blog for the first time in months!

Focus on value creation. Design enhances value, it does not create it. Stop creating shitty startups that look amazing. A product or service that is indispensably useful yet looks like ass is infinitely more likely to be successful than a product that solves zero problems but looks like a work of art. Stop this cycle of creating beautiful novelties, getting your 15 minutes, then disappearing. Create value.

Treatment For a Slipped Disc at bulging disc treatment 
A slipped disc is a relatively common cause of low back pain/or sciatica.However, it is also a term which sometimes strikes fear into people when they have been given such a diagnosis, as they assume that surgery may be indicated. Let me firstly reassure you that nearly all slipped discs can be treated successfully with appropriate advice and exercises.

It is not the 'fault' of a child to want whatever fad is current. Yes, there are broader influences from society, but to paint the child as some kind of active and equal player in this game (aside from their natural love of awesome (eg. superheroes are better than vegetables)) is disingenuous, imo.

On T-mobile and Sprint & ATT you can get the Galaxy S2, which, modulo network-specific capabilities and crapware, is in most respects the same hardware as Galaxy Nexus. Will be cheaper plan (well, except ATT), coverage, speeds will vary. Might be able to root it to fix the crapware.

"Your love of the Constitution..."

You're attacking a strawman. I do not love the constitution. I consider it a complete failure, and I would think this should be obvious to anyone who reads my words carefully. Further, in both of your responses you have failed to bring any evidence, logic, reason, or more importantly, law, to bear against my case. Your position is an ideological one, which is probably the reason you feel comfortable being sarcastic, calling arguments based in law "religious" and referring to people as "nutcase", etc. You don't need me for that, so I'm bowing out.

Not really. Great idiotic laws have been repealed, even US Constitutional amendments. Slavery, prohibition, etc. Not before lots of pain and bloodshed, though.
I am not sure that "gender" (as opposed to 'sex') is a biological state, though. Gender-atypicality may have a lot to do with navigating between social ideals of normality and a need of individuality.
Thus the irony that groups have never successfully lived without [a government] for any measurable period of time.

Well, that depends strongly on your definitions. If you believe that any hierarchy is government, you're undoubtedly correct. If you have a definition that involves a monopoly on force, as many libertarians and anarchists do, then there are historical periods where sizable populations (for their milieu) lived without a government for generations.

I'm not saying that there are lots of big and little details iOS gets right and Android gets wrong. It is obvious there are. The reason Josh found MG's analogy offensive is that there are also lots of big and little details that Android gets right and iOS gets wrong.

For example, take a look at cross-application cooperation and integration. It is good that iOS 5 added Twitter integration, but to an Android user the Twitter-specific integration makes iOS devices look crippled (in this area). With appropriate applications installed, even the more than three-year-old G1 is integrated with Twitter, Facebook, Picasa and whatever else you want. And these integration details matter because they are what allow Android users to create sophisticated, dynamic cross-application workflows.

Claiming that one side has a subtle superiority that only the right people can appreciate when the reality is more balanced is what is offensive.

There's no citizenship requirement for petitioning Congress, the petition doesn't identify them as exclusively US citizens, this is an issue with international repercussions, and they're prominent figures that even the dolts in the House may have heard of.

That's a wonderful idea. It sounds like you're at a much more open "big company" than I am. You see, I don't even have the access to install stuff on a production box. I have to give it to an infrastructure team to install for me. And they aren't going to do anything without me going through a process that takes days of approvals and no less than 5 different documents. It doesn't matter how small the change is. If it needs to move fast, you need even more approvals, but the built-in rules of it taking so long are removed. Still need all of those documents though or they won't install it.

Most people in my ISD don't even have the ability to download. They don't have admin rights on their box. Most people are using 17" monitors. I was only too happy to get a 19".

Just to be clear: you reject the concept of judicial review, and believe Marbury v Madison is a "usurpation".

Marbury v Madison didn't come out of left field. Hamilton presaged it in the Federalist Papers, explaining not only that the judiciary under our constitution is responsible for "interpreting" the law (his words), but that the gravity of that responsibility is one of the reasons they have permanent tenure, to keep them independent of the legislature.

Hamilton envisioned a government in which conflicts between the "people" (e.g. the Constitution) and the courts would be resolved simply by amending the Constitution. As could just as easily be done to, for instance, end all regulation and (one supposes) the 2-centuries-old concept of judicial review.

I understand what you're saying and agree that there's insufficient compatibility between our worldviews to productively argue about the Constitutionality of laws arising from conflicts between the explicitly enumerated concerns in the Constitution (here: the enumerated power of Congress to secure copyright, and the First Amendment).
