-So many people use GoDaddy as a registrar (they were horrible before SOPA)

-That startups use AWS despite its poor cost/performance
Zynga CEO Mark Pincus Calls IPO a Success, Concedes Missteps
Perhaps its just my read, but I think the original post confuses revenue streams with business models with products. It seems to flip from business model to product design to revenue streams back to business models and finishes with a vague statement about "core".

Selling complimentary products and services to overlapping and peripheral market segments is an extremely valid and sustainable strategy (Apple). Using different methods of distribution to attack different market segments with similar products works extremely well (Amazon, Google). Launching additional lines of business to attack unrelated markets using a singular strong brand also has merit (Virgin).

The key really is "don't have a shitty business model" not "don't have multiple revenue streams".

On the other hand, I really appreciate Rob's points about how clever often means convoluted (I am always wary of "complicated") and that mediocrity and a lack of focus can be dilutive.
"I struggle to think of a material strong enough to hold an almost-vacuum yet light enough to lift off!"

Ah, no the whole point of the PERB is that it doesn't need a near vacuum -- just as much partial vacuum as is required to reduce its net mass to zero at the altitude where it currently is.

I agree with other commenters, that sometimes you try other revenue streams in order to see how the market or potential customers might respond. If you see any good signs then one may choose to focus and strengthen these options.
Grub can boot off BtrFS filesystems. There is one caveat remaining (bug 759772: grub's core.img needs to be embedded in the correct part of the btrfs partition). When using GPT (required with large disks) that part is already safely located on a 1MB GPT boot partition.

Thats great news. This industry needs disruption. Why do we need textbooks that costs more than 80 dollars, even in the digital version. And worse, Why do we need a new edition every couple years?

And for me, as a foreigner student, it's even harder. The cost of the textbooks gets more expensive with the translation costs.

I agree on the SSL & GoDaddy, but AWS? What poor performance?
I run a profitable registrar at scale and can appreciate the comments about low margin, costs, competition, etc.

My point is simply this: don't underestimate the value of a recurring revenue stream vs. a one-time payout to your business.

With a strong product and good customer service, you can count on a customer relationship for a number of years allowing you to amortize your customer acquisition costs over a much longer term than an affiliate relationship permits.

That said, if you've got the stomach for arbitrage, then go for it - there's a lot of potential for the right business to strictly focus on lead gen and delivery. However, I don't get the sense that this is in the OP's wheelhouse. I have a bias that those with a product focus tend to operate with fatter and more sustainable margins on the basis that its necessary to support their development of the product. Marketing organizations OTOH would never start with a comment like "look at the product I built on the weekend, what kind of a business can we build with it..."

If you want to build a business that focuses on affiliate lead-gen, then this prototype is the wrong place to start. I mean, you might get there accidentally, but its definitely the long way home.

Yep. I suspect that having the protest now pretty much paves the way for them to sneak in legislation later in the year. Much like happened with DMCA.

For me, the most important thing to do before programming is: Going outside for some time in the morning (e.g., for a walk), or I will be brain-foggy for most of the day. I don't care about other people being around or not - I like people and I like exchanging little bits of information while programming (to get out of the "box" for some seconds). Also, having other people around me somehow forces me to look at code from their perspective once in a while ("Will he like the method names?", "Will he kill me if I do it like this?",...) - it's like an internal review, triggered by the presence of others.

Here's the truth, you never end up doing what you studied. Not these days anyway.

The working world is changing and although you are disilluioned with Law, everything you learnt is valuable, but you don't have to be what you studied to be. If there's a message in the start-up world - that's it.

Reading between the lines:

You have a huge debt that you want to clear asap

Startups can make loads of cash

You hate law - but feel obligated to it because of your qualification

You want to be around startups (hence HN membership)

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a VC.

It's difficult to say how reliable our brains are at doing things like driving cars or riding bikes because we don't really have anything to compare them to. I expect that it won't take long before we can build automated cars that are far safer drivers than any human.

Parsing natural language is probably inherently non deterministic since no natural language grammers are context free. When we parse a sentance there is almost always at least some ambiguity in the sentence itself, plus we also have to process other things that the person has said; in many cases years in the past and what motivation they may have for saying a certain thing. It is very unlikely that 2 people will get exactly the same meaning out of some natural language sentence because it comes with all kinds of side effects for example something somebody says may also change your opinion of them and other things they have said.

I suspect that if we cannot get deterministic behavior out of future computers because of the amount of parallelization required to make efficient use of their CPUs we will end up with 2 streams of computing , one of which will stay relatively static and be interested in using computers for the types of problems we currently do and another which will be interested in applying it to new problems that do not require determinism.

The software for these computers will be radically different so most likely you will have 2 computers on your desk (or in your pocket , or in VMs), one with < 10 cores and one with > 1000 cores.

I don't know much about how the brain works but I guess this is a process that uses allot of heuristics and psuedo randomness that probably lends itself well to being parallelized which is why we set up our languages this way.
Agreed, the whole ebook wars missed the point that for fiction books only 10% of the cost of producing a book is the actual printing press, another 10% might be distribution (but given most publishers had to hire new job positions for digital distribution, this didn't really go away it just got a name change).

Textbook printing amounts for between 10% and 30% (depending on things like glossy paper, number/size of pictures, etc). However, given that many textbooks come with a CD and often hours of video, it could actually be a very expensive digital distribution. It's very different serving a 1MB file to 10,000 people than serving a 700+MB file to 10,000 people. One of my wife's courses came with 4 discs for administrative assistant course, her college alone had 500 students starting each semester, which means you're looking above 2gig for a textbook per student. So over 1TB per college.

Granted you can easily buy that sort of bandwidth, but it's that they might have to buy 1PB of bandwidth for the sum total of a two-week period when school starts.

I think publishers would likely rather keep their deal with Fedex for bulk distribution than figure out digital distribution when there's no considerable cost difference in distribution and people are forced to pay.

He said poor cost/performance.

I.e, he means it has less bang for the buck, compared to something like a VPS on Slicehost.

Which is true (there are several benchmarks in related price ranges), but AWS offers other things, including a vibrant ecosystem and huge scalability opportunities in different zones etc.

A lot of startups can justify the cost, especially as an engineer can cost twenty times more than a couple of machines to start with.
The profiler doesn't seem to take HTTP redirects into consideration, incorrectly reporting the web host and SSL details for Vidyard, though I'm sure for a few others too.

Once the data is served there's not much you can do. But it depends how your site consumes the data. Straight html is pretty easy to grab, ajax calls make it more painful (not necessarily difficult), HTML datastorage, a little more obscure but still available, my personal favourite is global javascript objects filled at runtime, accessed when necessary. Data can be obfuscated and links constructed on the fly.
This is a really classy demo. The scene editor (embedded in the post, don't miss it) is a brilliant addition - really very impressive.

> Computers, in other words, needs to be more like brains.

I wonder about this. One of the most common human methods of making decisions with incomplete information and/or short time frames is to fall back on heuristics rather than try to reason through the data. Heuristics have the advantage of being fast and available, but they're also notoriously bad at producing the quality of decision that might come from a more thorough analysis of the data.

Frankly, I think I'd feel more comfortable with computers that made decisions through brute force processing and bayesian analysis.
It's weird, some elements of the design look to be 5-6 years old in style, while other are clearly inspired by Microsoft's Metro UI (which is good).

The small font size and traditional 'luxury hotel' look of the header/footer really ruin it for me (example look how the tagline in the tiny logo is almost unreadable). Where they succeed (mostly) is in the page content layout and design.

Also, shrinking my browser window doesn't dynamically resize or shift the layout so -1 for unresponsiveness. I was on a sub page of the Boston location which may not have that flexibility but for 18M and 2012 ... it should.

I think he's referring to their recent support for SOPA: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3383564
But SOPA would affect us english speaking non-US people too, so raising awareness in the rest of the world is a good idea. We should be putting pressure on our own governments to a) not pass a SOPA-like law themselves and b) to not support the US in this, for example, Spain shouldn't cave into US pressure to pass a similar law.
