What's wrong with the standard $3-a-month shared hosting service for this? Is a managed environment and phone support not worth $3 a month to this business?
Thanks! I'm totally fine with the fact that you left it out of the article. The little bit of a story you did share just made me curious.

The GPL is a complex license so here are some rules of thumb when using the GPL:

you can charge as much as you want for distributing, supporting, or documenting the software, but you cannot sell the software itself.

I don't believe this is correct. You can sell the software.

Singularity through AI won't happen, not by electronic AI, but by biological means. The advancement in biotech will out pace AI. Our sequencing technology is advancing at exponential rate, a rate faster than Moore's law.

One way of creating AI is through imitation. We study and understand the brain and build neural network chips. But why build the system from ground up when we can just hack a already intelligent system, our brain. Evolution has already created a cheap and very efficient system for intelligence. It's far harder to build from ground up.

Once we reach immortality and bio brain upgrades, AI won't be a threat. Humans are inherently selfish; we will spend more efforts on self improvement to stay competitive. The new humans will be the super-intelligent being and our greed is the mechanism for singularity. But that greed could also be hacked.

If a system capable of intelligence is build, why would it make self improvements? or do anything? If a human have absolutely no drive, no sex hormones, no food drive would it think about anything? Is it intelligent?

The intelligent system that we build will be for human's selfish gains and will be used to improve humans. That means humans will improve along side with the system, or humans are part of the system. What's really scary is if the system is build with all the drive and motivation build in...

Tell HN: Professional Branding and Identity for your Startup for $100
My friend has extraordinary skill at creating company branding and identities. He created the logo for my startup ( http://www.blabberize ) and it’s been really great for our image. He recently is spending some free time between jobs and mentioned that he has been doing some sketches for fictitious companies to expand his portfolio. He finds creative work more fun than most of the high profile companies he works for. I suggested that there may be some people who would love to have the quality of his work in the startup community that may not have the resources to pay for his caliber of work. Here’s a link to his portfolio:

http://www.thomas-doyle.com

He’s willing to deliver a company logo for $100. All you have to provide is: 1: Name of the Company 2: Imagery that you would like incorporated and/or text 3: Your vision of what you like the logo to look like.

I'm posting this here because when I started my startup four years ago I didn't have any money to spare and I needed a logo. My friend ended up building this stellar iconic graphic that ended up being our defining image. He went on to bigger and greater things, and I felt lucky that I got to tap into his talent back when I didn't have the money and it was worth so much more. I think it anyone starting a startup would think this is a godsend.
Yes I think you can sell the software but you must make the source available. I'm not sure how this is different from charging for distribution, from a practical standpoint.
500 cal/day isn't miserable, it's insane.

It's counter to well over 50 years (if not more) of medical evidence and experience with sustainable weight loss. Look up the Minnesota Starvation Experiment -- used to study the effects of long-term starvation among WWII POWs and concentration camp survivors. This involved six months of semi-starvation -- at 1500 cal/day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment

Fewer than ~1200-800 cal/day is generally considered "VLCD": very low calorie dieting. If macronutrients and micronutrients aren't very carefully controlled, the body is essentially eating itself in slow motion. And odds are very good you wouldn't be able to exercise much if at all at 500 cal/day.
The Tide Is Turning Against SOPA … And We Might Actually Succeed In Stopping It
Do not use MIT (or BSD).

MIT has a killer failing: it was developed prior to the onset of software patents, and so has no patent release. This dooms it to being appropriate for only trivial projects. It doesn't matter if you think there's nothing patentable in your code: others don't know that. If you want people to use your code in this day and age, a patent release is critically important.

Use Apache. Why be concerned about license length? Include the license once and then refer to it in your source copies. No big deal.

What doesn’t kill you… (reflections 4 years afterwards)
Imagine if google died. You have your email with them. Now you can't login to any other service that you have forgotten your login and password to, because you don't have access to email.

Say you use Google Apps For Domains. Thinking it is safer because you own your own domain. Arguments that you don't really own that domain aside, if google dies, you won't be able to transfer that domain away from google.

Email is the backbone of an approval system for just about everything.

I think you can pretty safely put all your eggs in one basket, as long as you take one egg out, that being your email access. At the very least, forward all inbound emails to some other service so you have access to those in an emergency.

Ideally, we would all have our own mini email servers that we control and manage. However, managing an email server is perhaps one of the harder chunks of tech to manage. From anti-spam to just configuring all the pieces, it is much more than most are willing to do.

Could SOPA fly if big media put skin in the game?
Stratfor is not much more than a small news organization. Why would a news company have secret intelligence from the "world's most powerful men"?

They are in the business of publishing everything they know -- that's how they get paid! Their info is not secret. Anyone who emails them is trying to get info RELEASED, not hide it!

They certainly have secret informants, but why do you want to compromise informants who are willing to work with the press? What does that solve?

Dick Cheney does not send emails to Stratfor. He's not stupid!

This whole operation is just another demonstration that Anonymous only targets low hanging fruit. They tried hacking the NYT but their security was too good. They tried hacking the Pentagon but hopelessly failed. So they decided to hack a small (high-quality) news company with 70 employees, that reports exclusively on global affairs.

Now they are going to reveal Stratfor's sources and get people killed, just like they did in the Mexico affair.

This isn't an achievement, it's just showing off. I doubt they are going to find much and the victims of this release are not going to be anyone in powerful positions. Rather it will be informants like Gaddafi's Butler who will have their lives ruined.

For the record, I would support Anonymous if they actually bothered to hack the government and release those files. I would even support them if they hacked known bad guys like Halliburton or known propaganda networks like FOX.

But Anonymous is just picking low-hanging fruit and hyping it up to make themselves look good. The "top secret client list" is nothing more than a marketing strategy by Stratfor. Their client list is: people interested in global politics.
All those unscientific countries still haven't adopted rods and hogsheads. I guess it will just be the US, Burma and Liberia again.

Sopa Would Destroy Jobs and the Economy. So Why is AFL-CIO Supporting It?
That beef comes from consolidated animal feedlot operations (CAFOs), at which a normally free-ranging, grass-fed animal is concentrated into densities so high you can smell them 10-20 miles away (yes, I've driven through Dodge, KS), force-fed corn (which they digest poorly), pumped full of antibiotics and hormones, both to drive off infection and just to drive up "production yields".

Even if Mickey D's is selling "pure beef patties", it's the quality of that beef that's among the problems. Though yes, the other things on the menu are a lot worse.

You're wrong. You can foia request any communication between government employees and anyone if it was done in their official role or on government equipment. There are some exceptions of course, but generally speaking correspondence is anything but confidential (at least in the USA)
It depends deeply on the project. Some something like, say, an HTTP API wrapper module, MIT/BSD style licenses are quite sufficient. There shouldn't be something patentable there. Apache, unfortunately, isn't compatible with GPL v2.

But if you're building something like node.js, nginx, or Lucene, choosing MIT/BSD is likely a terrible idea. Apache gives huge protections for unforeseen scenarios: automatic property rights assignment for contributions, poison-pill–like protections against patent suits, &c.

Unix was only rebranded in the early 80s at the exact time DOS was released. However, Unix's unintended "re-branding" was at its birth: due to its portability & availability in source, every installation was almost a "port".
Stratfor is a news company. Their only mission is to print accurate information for the consumption of the public. They give away many articles for free, and individuals can subscribe for about $20/month.

Stratfor is not Halliburton. It's sort of the opposite. While mainstream media propaganda spins bullshit about the Euro crisis, Stratfor gives straight-to-the-point, honest reporting and is only concerned with accuracy.

Basically Anon is trying to destroy one of the highest quality news sources available online. This isn't noble.

If they hacked FOX, the NYT, lobbyist emails, the MPAA, or even something like Facebook, I would probably congratulate them for helping humanity.

But not in this case.
Here's a revolutionary thought - the calendar is already fixed. Sporting events (etc.) don't have to happen on the same weekday, they can just always happen on the same date. Voila, predictable time planning that doesn't have to be redone every year.

And I love the idea of eliminating timezones, especially the example that pilots already use UTC. Ever considered this might be because the concept of "day" doesn't really apply when you change 10 timezones in 10 hours?

Personally I think eliminating timezones would make relating to people internationally very difficult. It's already weird enough that Australians think of December as a summer month. Consider half the world thinking of 20:00 (8PM) as the morning. How does "everywhere is the same hour" even remotely fix the fact people sleep at night and work at day anyway?

And what do you do with an extra week "every five or six years"?
That depends on what you mean by adopted. The federal government/education establishment/etc. all use SI units. It's the general populace which couldn't care less.

Which means this proposal has the same probability of adoption as me winning the lottery. And I don't buy lottery tickets.
> At the same time, there are times where you say "eh, fuck it."

Cognitive dissonance overload!

"Anonymous"/"99%"/TPTB_NOT is correct (imo) in criticizing the TPTB's theory of 'suspended norms/ethos due to emergency' e.g. get ready to be groped by a uniformed servant from the margines. Good times.

Now we have supporters of anon/99/we-the-people's position asserting that the philosophy of "what is Right is what is convenient'/'end justifies the means' is in fact acceptable.

USA is saying "eh, fuck it" when it kidnaps, tortures, rapes (abu ..), terrorizes (same place), and holds in contempt (fuck it) the said "it": Our aspirations, our principles, our heritage, and our "fucking" way of life.

Simply based on that ideological finger print, I would certainly entertain the view that holds these groups and their shenanigans to be entirely the work of TPTB.
Hold up, I think I just stumbled on to a fellow alum.

Pluggd.in Names Vaultize Most Promising Startup In 2011
Well done, Anonymous. You've hacked into an independent online news service, destroyed their business, probably permanently shut them down, stole money from their readers and will now release all their correspondence with their sources. Fuck you. I was a subscriber - I suppose I should now go back to getting all my news from Murdoch.

This is a blow against the freedom of the press and a blow against a free and open society. There is a reason why we should as a society respect journalists and their sources. I hope the perpetrators are prosecuted and jailed.
Facebookid grab
In detail we are looking for the Facebook ID, Twitter Id, Google+ and LinkedIn id. What we wanting to happen is, as the user visits one of our sides, to pick up these ids and send them back to a web service. This must be transparent to the user we are doing this, ie not prompt them to approve a applet or code, and we only want the ID nothing else than this.

Need a process to pickup Facebook, twitter and linkedin account id’s only, and send them to a webservice from a clients pc.

This process must be transparent to the user, and not show the event happening or leave a footprint behind. Must not trigger virus alerts
Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was saying that Apple lets its competitors do the technical and feasibility research for them by releasing half-baked products that are rejected by the market for various reasons. In the meantime they're iterating behind closed doors. End result: they launch right as the competition gives up on the market.
So hack lobbyists. Hack Halliburton. Hack Wall Street. Hack the MPAA.

But Stratfor? One of the highest quality unbiased news sources available to the public? One of the only news outlets free from mainstream media spin, with a fanatical devotion to a just-the-facts reporting style?
You can sell the software, but it must remain open source. Of course, GPL can also be conjoined with any other license. Your project can be offered as GPL + Commercial$$.

It's an elegant solution for many projects: Highcharts, extjs, mysql, neo4j...
Interesting but it won't happen. It would have to be adopted throughout the world (especially where religious days are affected) and there would never be agreement on which holidays fall on which day (NYE on Friday or Saturday?).

I don't fully understand the other point in the article about ridding the world of time zones to improve business and trade. How would that work? Do they expect certain countries to agree to work while the sun is down?
In "many", yeah, but that's more a product of market forces than anything else. I happen to have negotiated one of these contracts from the municipal side, and we didn't have a monopoly, we played the companies against each other, because we were an attractive enough market to do so.

You're proposing more state/federal oversight to insure that municipalities don't give away monopoly rights?
sounds like a typical startup idea
In fact, there are several such backend-as-a-service offerings in existence already, including StackMob -- a ycombinator company if I'm not mistaken. And note that any such BAAS that can be used for mobile development can just as easily be used for desktop web development. More and more desktop web apps are doing most or all of their logic locally using Javascript and then accessing their servers RESTfully for data persistence. StackMob is well-positioned to take advantage of both the surge in mobile apps and these new trends in desktop web development.

You can't sell the software in the sense that you can't sell the permission to use the software. Somebody can use the software if it was distributed to them by someone who you distributed it to, for example.
Correct, unless someone asks for it, I believe.
In the UK there have been discussions about stopping DST. The main problem is that in places Scotland it would be darker for longer in the morning which could lead to more traffic accidents.

The affects on crime and traffic accidents would be huge. And it would never be possible to get half of the planet to agree that they will forever work while it's dark and sleep while it is light.
Well it's not necessarily a web business. It's more of a traditional brick-and-mortar business and they just want a page to make a web presence.
What's the difference between needing to know what timezone some place is in, vs. needing to know about where their day falls?

What particularly annoys me about timezones is that times are already useless. When does the day start? (And I mean the normal cultural day, not your personal day.) Be it 7am, 8am, 9am, or whatever your answer may be, it sure isn't anything sensible like 0 or 1. If those are anything, that's when the day ends. If the sun rises at 03:00 in one place, 10:00 in another, and 22:00 in another (presumably we'd stop using "am" and "pm" as the a & p would become useless), who really cares? It's not like we're taking away the 00:00 sunrise that you can set your watch by from anybody.
I subscribed to Stratfor for a while and I thought I'd explain what the site is for anyone who's wondering. (And yes, my info was part of the leak, unfortunately)

It's basically a subscription news site ($100/year) that delivers focused international news. They usually stay away from trendy topics and party politics, which is pretty nice.

Despite their claims of having sources around the world, it's quite obvious that most of their information comes from other newspapers and just Googling around. It's infrequent that they would mention getting information from a source, and when they did, it was never anything more than an aside or a rumor. Certainly nothing of value.

That's why I seriously doubt that anything explosive will come from this email leak. People who have access to sensitive information leak it for two reasons: to spread their message to a wide audience (think Watergate and the Washington Post, or Bradley Manning and Wikileaks), or to swap it with other insider groups, in exchange for other information. Stratfor, with its small audience and utter lack of people on the ground, has neither.

Finally, I probably sound kind of negative about Stratfor, and while I no longer subscribe, they did have some really great, unique articles that you wouldn't find in any newspaper. Here's one example:
http://www.4hoteliers.com/4hots_fshw.php?mwi=3645
I think the writer is defining "sell" as "give somebody an exclusive right to use it" or "allow people to use it only if they agree to your terms". After all, that's what it usually means to sell proprietary software.

Since any program that contains GPL code must be open-sourced, it's impossible to grant anybody a right to use it at the exclusion of everybody else, or to prevent people from using it against your will.

A very poor choice of wording, though.
