I sunk a lot of thought into a very similar idea a while ago, but then Kickstarter launched. Since it was successful and "close enough" to mine it kindof took the wind out of my sails and I've let the idea languish.

I bought a domain to describe it that is obviously now old and stale and incidentally will expire in about a week.

This page describes my motivation but is light on technical details: http://libazaar.com

This page that I have just reconstructed from older drafts has lots more text: http://libazaar.com/faq.html

Similar ideas other than Kickstarter have been conceived: http://tdaa.digitalproductions.co.uk "The digital art auction"
http://www.contingencymarket.com "The contingency market"

There is a name for this Kickstarter-style model: Assurance Contracts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assurance_contract

The "Dominant Assurance Contract" idea mentioned on that Wikipedia article is worth investigating.

For what it's worth, I think that assurance contract style markets provide the only truly fair way to buy and sell goods "made of information" like software, novels, digital art, and digital music in the information age. The price-per-copy model is an artifice imposed by those who don't want to change from the simple old manufacturing-age business models, and our acceptance of those models have enabled them to be grossly overcompensated.

Nothing new, I replied; only an old Phoenician tale of what has
often occurred before now in other places, (as the poets say,
and have made the world believe,) though not in our time,
and I do not know whether such an event could ever happen again,
or could now even be made probable, if it did.

This is exactly what HN should not do. Making a statement by having the site down for a day is one thing (although I'm also opposed to that, and I voted no in the poll), but actively forcing your users to help some cause even though they may have completely different opinion is something else entirely. I, for one, wouldn't want to participate on such a website. HN should support free thinking, not suppress it. I, as well as probably 95% of people here, am against SOPA. But if, for some reason, some of the HN users are pro SOPA, we should respect the fact that they have a different opinion on the matter and not force them to accept our views, even if we strongly disagree with them.

If people want to write to their congressperson, they should do that of their own accord, not because they're being pushed into doing that to access HN content.
My experience with DoD networks is that they just tell you it's blocked, not why, and invite you to petition if you do need access to the site in question.
Really? Are you doing something over IRC or SSH with the lid closed? I normally don't talk to irc with the lid closed, because I can't reach the keyboard that easily...

If you want something on the other side of the SSH to continue, use sleep or tmux.

If you want to keep your session, well, keep your lid open...

I've had this on for about a week now, and although it was initially very disorienting, it's very easy to get used to it. I'd certainly recommend it, since it allows you to add a new line even if a suggestion is there.
I voted 'no' but I think Hacker News is driven by fads to a degree - you see one story on the site, then a few hours later there's a load of others with slightly different views. A few hours/days/weeks later, all is forgotten.

So 'yes' will win. It may happen. Few people will remember it a year from now.

What are you talking about?

Intel's 65nm (Pentium M) can still beat similarly clocked (1.5 Ghz) ARMs at 28nm - that's not due to process, that's due to a much more powerful architecture designed for speed over power consumption (Pentium M, then Core, Core 2).

The instructions that fault are the very rarely used ones like weird string processing ones. Those are not going to be used in the middle of number-crunching loops.

Escaping float ops hasn't been needed since the 486 days, so I'm not sure what on earth you're talking about.

Intel's branch predicting and memory / cache pre-fetching are the best in the business. To say their CPUs are "lackluster CPU design", is pretty ridiculous, despite Atom being pretty crap.
This is management's claim, not objective fact, and probably open to dispute. From the comments on the New York Times article, I'd guess the unions have quite a different perspective.

Fascinating. Thank you for the link.

Excerpt:

3.1 What information is retained?
The NOC will retain only user-generated information posted to publicly available online social
media sites. Information posted in the public sphere that the Department uses to provide situational
awareness or establish a common operating picture becomes a federal record and the Department is
required to maintain a copy. However, the Department is working with the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) on a retention schedule to immediately delete PII, upon the approval of this
schedule by NARA, as well as to maintain records necessary for further use by the Department.
I'd like to hear more about the trademark and geographic protections.

Geographic protections, .norfolk - does that refer to the county in the UK or to one of the places in the US, or else where?

What about the potential PR backlash? The Pro-SOPA response could be that internet providers are taking matters in their own hands, disrupting their own customers service for their political gain. They'd then argue to the masses (not just the customers) that SOPA puts the government in control to prevent internet companies from working against the interest of their customers, or some such.

I think you might be onto something, but this specific suggestion leaves the anti-SOPA lobby and DNS providers open to a serious PR attack.

Looks like a mildly cleaned up Java, was expecting something a little more interesting. Don't see much in the way of functional programming or worthwhile changes vs Java.

Was expecting a Scala competitor, but found a slightly better Java with some syntax sugar. It's "nice", but not really different enough to warrant the effort of switching to another language. As a Java dev for 10+ years Scala was an eye opener on what a language could really be, Kotlin is "nice", but sadly not that interesting.

Minor pet peave is they have retained even Java's verbosity for outputting text:

Kotlin:
System.out?.println("Hi")
Java:
System.out.println("Hi")
Scala:
println("Hi")
Ruby:
puts("Hi")

Music Industry take Irish Government to court over filesharing
I have seen many complaints against ICANN over the years. This is a rather poor one that contains a number of errors or poor assumptions. Firstly there is the factual error that the $185,000 is not refundable; it is partially refundable depending on how far through the application you progress, anywhere from a 80% to 20% discount depending on when you pull out. Only applications that are successful are required to pay the final 20% to secure a contract with ICANN.

Also the ANA complains that it hasn't been listened to. This is obviously false; this process has been ongoing for more than 6 years. Anyone can attend ICANN meetings and become involved in policy making processes. A number of ANA members have been involved in the process for some time, their public comments have been received, they have been on IP working groups. This is all public record and can be found on the ICANN website. Issues with respect to various trademark and copyright issues have been debated multiple times, and almost every time trademark holders are not satisfied with protections that exceed those they normally have in the rest of the business / legal world. And when they don't get these egregious demands they complain that they haven't been listened to and try to hold up the process yet again.

Hopefully several years from now there will be greater competition in the market and 85% of the primary domain name market sales won't go to just one company; Verisign.

Strategies for Hookah Smoking 
After cautiously preparing a clean hookah with cold water, selecting a flavorful tobacco for the bowl, lighting and adding the char-coal, the aromatic hookah smoke is drawn bubbling through the water. Cooled & softened after being filtered via the water, light, pleasant smoke infuses the senses, lingering on the air, stimulating slow trance-like breathing and sweetening conversation, games of dominoes, or quiet consideration and study.

I haven't tried Komodo since a year, but when I last tried it, it definitely feet like "Not my kind".

None of the normal (you come to expect) keybindings work. It was slow/sluggish.

At the time when I checked out (I have no reason to believe why it would be much different today) Wing seemed infinitely more awesome. - The ability to split screens, the amount of time the UI actions take. The F1 and F2 that provide more screen real estate felt far more interesting than Komodo, which almost felt the opposite. Komodo didn't have the deep Python integration like wing does. The goto definition etc are far more better in Wing.

Predator Drones are being used against Americans domestically:

http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/la-na-drone-arrest-20111211...

Why is this not being questioned every single day in the news? Or on the floor of congress for that matter?

They found a loophole to putting cameras on every streetlight in the USA and pointing them at your front door - they will just keep them flying higher up with better optics.

Oh and it's warrantless too btw, no judicial review.

The future of America - warrantless searches at airports, train and bus stations, warrantless gps trackers on your car, warrantless cellphone tracking, warrantless email backdoors and warrantless drone spying on anyone domestically.

Nah the police would never abuse this and never use the millions in their endless "homeland security theater" budgets to get their own drones for every major city.

I think this is great - it kinda _why ish.
I think that if it can be solved using the controls you provide that's good, but if short cuts can be made by hacking the code there is an incentive to try - like adding a loop that fires the cannon continuously, a loop that changes it angle over a range... I don't know - but if the 'cheats' are in the code there is a reason to look at it (the code). They need to be simple (initially). I quickly started adjusting the angle force in the code to just to see if I could.

5 ways to use Path for business
So in the last few months, Path has gained ground as one of the most talked-about social network apps, especially since the Path 2.0 upgrade which integrated location check-in, photo feed, song check-in, and even an ‘asleep/awake’ feature, which you can share to ‘only’ up to 150 friends. This brings some interesting possibilities of using Path for business.
It is beside the point where you are based. The US are pushing this because they know that other countries will follow. So if they can't shut down a site because its out of their jurisdiction, in the long run they wont have too.

The UK have been trying to pass a load of crazy crap like this. If the US pass it then we will follow.

This is why everyone should be protesting against regardless of your geographical location, unless you want a web in which every country sees different.

Could Samsung pose a threat to Google's Android?
This week’s Monday Note by Jean Louis Gassée sparked an interesting thought and possibility that Samsung is gaining a serious upper hand in the Android world and could use it as leverage against Google. Now why would Samsung do that?

At this point, Samsung probably wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize the relationship with Google, after all, it’s selling tons of Android phones across the world and has become the number one smartphone maker on the planet because of it. Samsung owes a lot of that to Google.

Ask HN: I need help to choose the right technology and start building my product
I am starting a new business and I am facing the following recurrent question : how to choose the right technology to build my product?

I don't want to dive into the technologies I already master just to save me some time, I would be too afraid to end up writing all over again from the beginning because the technology I chose is not appropriate.

Here are the following stuff I'll have to handle:
- big amount of data (some tables might have ~1M entries)

- users (there are different kinds of users)

- reporting (for instance, I'll have to know in real time what is done by the users and also run reports on actions already done)

- build an API to allow mobile apps to consume features of the product

- all the fancy stuff to make nice mobile apps (push notifications etc.)

I am not waiting for a straight answer saying that I should use "that" or "this" technology but more for hints to help me make a decision! Thanks a lot!
I guess HP will make it into the text books. Way to screw up.
Here's what I experienced:

1. Signed up using a dummy email address - just to test the service. Luckily(!), it logged me in without any email activation. Good that, there's a workaround to see the service without giving your actual email address.

2. The landing page page after I logged in was little confusing at first. There was a button to create list - but I was wondering why should I create a list first in a bookmarking service. Later, only after creating a list, the option to add an URL popped up.

3. Even before I create a list, I installed the bookmarklet. But when I tried to bookmark a page, the popup window was asking me to choose a list but I didn't have any. I thought from that popup I could create a new list, but I couldn't.

4. After logging out, I wanted to login again. Went to home page - but couldn't find any 'login' link. It took sometime to realize I need to enter my email address in the same textbox which I used to signup. Little confusing.
Favourite Option: When you close the editor, it just shuts down, saving all your buffers and restoring them when you reload. That means you can close the app, reboot your computer, whatever, and the edits you've been making aren't lost, and you aren't bugged for filenames.

Definitely a 'why don't all apps work like this?' feature.
