This is why I never partner with an "ideas guy", unless they have industry connections or money to invest. If the product ever finally launches, You may be stuck with someone that can't really offer anything.

In addition to this, 9/10 times they will leave during the building process (and onto some new idea) because they have no skin in the game. And if you do continue and it makes any kind of money? They will come back for their piece of it.

In my younger, naive days, I partnered with an "ideas guy". I worked on a project for 6 months before they decided to just move on because "it's not making money fast enough".
I agree with hiring multiple people, some will be bad, you want to find good ones. Also VERY CLEARLY defining what you want done is important. They will do exactly what you ask for. Start with small projects and incrementally increase complexity. Don't be afraid to ask for updates.
Well, that's the thing. They don't know who generated these keys or how. They don't know what the bug is; all they can see is the end result, not how it happened, without talking to the people who generated the keys and investigating the algorithms used, the entropy sources used, and trying to recreate the state of the system at the time the keys were generated.

But without knowing the bug, there is still the enormous vulnerability; pretty much anyone else could do what they have done, crack these keys, and MITM any of the sites that use them.

So, they could have kept quiet, tried to track down who had generated the keys, try to track down how they had generated the keys, and see if there is a problem. But the longer they do that, the more people they'll have to contact, the more likely it is that word will leak out, and the more likely it is that someone nefarious could use this information to their advantage.

By making a big announcement about it, they let everyone know now. Everyone knows to start looking at these keys. They will likely notify any CAs that they can identify of the bad keys that they have found so that they can be revoked (though they have mentioned that finding contact information has sometimes been difficult). Yes, it means that we don't really know how this happened; but it does mean that a lot more people will probably start auditing their entropy sources and pseudo-random number generators to make sure they are working properly.
Has anyone on Hacker News made any money with affiliate marketing?
I am interested in affiliate marketing, and was wondering if anyone on this site has made any money posting affiliate links on their websites.
If so, how did you do it, and how much money have you made?
I do not think rod alone can produce the results you want.Teachers promote plagiarism because they themselves are sub par. Teachers have enough power to use rod to control student in other area of school, college life i.e. discipline, relationship between sexes,proper dressing etc.They do use rod wherever they feel confident.

Biggest problem I have seen during my schooling days is of Guru culture. Teacher is expected to know everything so they behave as such. They are never open to discussion or criticism.

So unless teachers becomes collaborator and work for the fun of it rather than respect or guru status, I have little hope.

PS: I agree with your analysis but your solution is not agreeable.

As a pure iOS user (ie. not an iOS dev). I would like to see something that lets me hide an app from the app store entirely (and maybe provide a list of the apps I have hidden?)

I end up just wading through lists and lists of apps I already know I don't want and arent interested in.

Abilities to hide apps based on rules would be great too. For example, some reason chosen by me - so that when I go to download this app in the future, i might see something like "deleted this app because they added bad micropayments that ruined the game"

Something like 'categorise by publisher' could be cool too, if a company is making consistantly good apps I would like to find more of them.

> The modest quantity of ported or migrated Mac technology (e.g. the Carbon APIs) existed purely to form a compatibility layer with existing Mac apps, and don't form the basis of any future development path.

I dunno. Post-Rhapsody, Apple worked hard to unify Carbon and Cocoa to provide a consistent user experience across applications. IIRC, in a surprising number of cases, the way unification was achieved was to make the Cocoa element be little more than a compatibility layer on top of Carbon. For example, I believe the save and open panels, print and page layout panels, and various dialog APIs worked this way.

It seems to me that if Carbon was viewed as a dead-end from the get-go, embedding it in many cases under Cocoa was a funny way of demonstrating that.

Carbon was a big project, and wasn't modest by any standard. Again IIRC, Apple rewrote the entire Finder in Carbon (and not in Cocoa) in order to test the Carbon library for bugs. Other things came from the Mac while their NeXTSTEP equivalents were abandoned: for example, UFS was blown away and replaced with HFS+. Quicktime was ported, as were 3D facilities and game APIs. NeXT's Soundkit was deprecated in favor of stuff for OS 9. Java, up through 1.3.x at any rate, came from OS 9. I think the font facility, always an ugliness in NeXTSTEP, was replaced with Apple's (including support for OpenType etc.). I think your depiction of this stuff as "modest" is not particularly accurate.

So anyway, Isaacson's depiction of OS X as being basically Mac technologies with a little NeXTSTEP kernel is ridiculous. But don't make the same mistake in the other direction.
"Closes" is probably not the right word, they hope to get the site running again. But it's a bad sign anyway.
Apple has little interest in more equitable distribution of sales. Particularly in the early days of the App Store when they needed to attract developers, it made better headlines to have one dev making $10M than to have 100 making $100K. It was the illusion of a gold rush that helped grow the App Store so quickly. At this point attracting developers isn't much of a concern, but there's still little incentive to make app discovery easier. Apple only needs enough quality apps to populate their lists. The other 99.9% serve to pad the number of iOS apps for marketing purposes so that Apple can club Android over the head. For users it doesn't matter much that there are 500,000 iOS apps because there remains no really good way to find most of them. But that big number sure sounds good in commercials.
TED Talks: Cesar Gonzalez – What you Think Does Matter
> What Bill Gates said was absolutely true! Rhapsody with the NeXT Mach kernel, a pulled-in, non-NeXT BSD application layer, and then various other Mac layers (GUI, Cocoa, etc). Technically there is nothing wrong with his statement.

Actually, technically there's everything wrong with that statement. It's just not the case.

Cocoa is NeXTStep. Take a look at the APIs. Everything is prefixed with NS.

The old Carbon APIs were completely reimplemented--those original Mac OS Classic APIs were mostly written in 68000 assembly with a liberal amount of Pascal thrown in--totally unsuitable for the new flagship OS.

I used OpenStep for about a year before the first OS X Betas were released. I can tell you first hand that Rhapsody was 90% NeXT and 10% veneer to make it "look like a Mac". "Terminal.app" barely changed from OpenStep to Mac OS X. Several other apps looked identical too. I'm pretty sure the minify button iconified the icons the way OpenStep used to.

Don't forget that NeXTStep/OpenStep had a full BSD subsystem too. That's not new or unique to Mac OS X. Go to your terminal and "man open". Notice the "First appeared in NextStep" part.

The fact is Mac OS X 10.0 is NeXTStep/OpenStep with some extra compatibility layers for the carbon APIs (plus an VM for doing running OS 9 apps). Saying that they "just pulled the kernel out" is patently false.

Volpe-
I apologize, as it appears I completely misunderstood what you were saying when you talked about awkwardness. Further it appears that we're not too far apart in our perspective and that you were making a characterization in general that I interpreted as specific towards jobs. I missed that you were spring boarding from what I said to a broader comment, and though you were disagreeing with what I said and making a specific comment.

I think I agree with your broader comment, and agree that in the extreme it can be a dangerous talent.

That's basically right. Apple makes fantastic hardware. None of the other manufacturers come close on design and execution. As far as software goes, I'm more concerned about what I can do with it than the polish.

I'm curious as to why you would prefer a Nokia handset to an Apple one. I've found their designs to be uninspiring.
"My point was only that yes..."

You made those points sufficiently with your citation of the origin of the term, which I didn't dispute. It is your comments about me that are problematic, and you've continued them here.

a) Some folks on HN have made a lot of money with affiliate marketing.

b) Rather than asking people "Hey, please identify a niche in which I could very profitably compete with you. kthxbye" you'd probably get a better response with something like "Hiya guys, I'm interested in getting into affiliate marketing. I currently have this source of traffic: [fill in blank] and/or this asset which could be marketed by affiliates: [fill in blank]. I have investigated these approaches: [fill in blank, fill in blank, fill in blank]. I am currently leaning towards [fill in blank] but would appreciate your thoughts. Given that some of you are experienced with affiliate marketing, my vertical, and the like, what would you suggest that I do?"

P.S. If your answers are "I have this source of traffic: nothing, I have this asset: nothing, and I have investigated these approaches: read a few blogs by affiliates attempting to sell me their info products" you may wish to hold off a bit. It's not a magic money tree.

I jailbroke my 3gs a couple years ago with the same idea in mind. A development platform it is not. I liked the idea of being able to connect to a server from the bus and restart a service or what have you, but for the frustration involved it's just not worth it. I'd far rather haul an Air around and tether it to my phone.
I don't think it's Apple's job to get apps in front of iOS users. The app developer(s) should have a marketing strategy of some sort. Obviously that strategy depends on budget, but if you're hoping you're featured, or fraudulently using bots to increase downloads, you're likely doomed from the beginning.

I think there's room for a third party solution. A website where you can rank apps you like, and it recommends other ones you might like could work. There's lots of potential options for app discovery businesses, I just don't see how Apple can get into it at the level a good third party solution could.

Is web development really that faddish?

With the phenomenal modern "web" frameworks (2005 onwards) available in all "web" languages that are equally as old (mid to late 90's), there are some common qualities emerging, wouldn't you say?

I mean, it is if we're looking to others for validation of what toolset we're and how we're doing it -- both are largely matters of preference.

I understand it's not a magic money tree, and I understand it will take real work. It's just that I just wanted to read some stories of how people got successful with affiliate marketing. But I guess that does sound like I am trying to copy other people's ideas.
The only asset I have is a real in depth knowledge about this thing I have been doing since I was in middle school, and a lot of experience in copywriting. I want to combine these two skills together to make a blog that hopefully I can get a lot of traffic, and maybe monetize.

Oh, and my traffic: none, and approaches: getting some ideas now, from hacker news.
At one point, as an alarm clock, I had a headless box under my bed that would play loud music. To turn it off, I had to ssh into it from my laptop - and the password was extremely long.

Ultimately, the long password wasn't enough to "wake me up," and by then I had a smartphone, so I got an Android app that made me solve math puzzles to turn off the alarm.

Ultimately ultimately, I realized that it was really a behavioral problem. Now I just get up when my alarm goes off. :)

(That makes it sound like the "behavioral" solution was simple, but believe me, it was extremely far from simple. And I still think the product being advertised here is an extremely cool idea and potentially very useful.)
> Apple paid for a license to use that technology with stock which, if held to present, is worth Billions of dollars.

In return for the tour of Xerox PARC, Jobs gave Xerox the opportunity to buy Apple stock (100,000 shares for $1 millon). Xerox did make money on that.

However, Xerox never gave Apple any license for its technology. Eventually, after Apple sued Microsoft, Xerox sued Apple, but the lawsuit failed.[1]

Experts versus Novices
I've read the book in its entirety, and while I don't refute the inaccuracies on some of the technical details covered, I don't really this it's all that important. As a reader, I was not interested in the technology aspect and technical details: that is already well documented. If this is what you're looking for as a reader, then this is not the book for you.

Isaacson was the perfect writer for this biography, in my opinion, thanks to his lack of technical knowledge. When you know the technology, it's easy to get lost in the things that don't matter. Isaacson has a fresh and often more objective perspective than any tech writer could. The details surrounding which kernel was used in Mac OS X and how much NeXT was responsible for really does not bring much value to me as a reader. Like I said, if I cared deeply about this, it's well documented already and easy to get from other sources.

What I got out of the book was a remarkably intimate look at the man himself: What made him tick, what his philosophies were, what the politics were and what the major obstacles were that he had to overcome. All of this, wrapped in an enthralling narrative and surprisingly intimate detail.

Isaacson may not have understood the technology, but he definitely understood Jobs' humanity, or sometimes lack thereof.

The particulars of the choice are telling. The context called for a piece of clearly inferior hardware, and he picked a design legend. There are many outstandingly crappy examples of laptop hardware, and instead he picked a polarizing but very highly regarded design. He did it on purpose -- you don't accidentally choose the only laptop on display at the Museum of Modern Art as your exemplar of bad design (though, if you're a bit arrogant and poncey, it's a clever mistake to pretend to make.) You do it to polarize the debate and filter your readership to the folks who are likely to agree with you.

I don't have any particular feeling toward Gruber's work, but (apart for odd timing.) I really liked this piece.

But I had this nagging 'hey, I read that before!' feeling back in my head - and I was right, although I heard similar complaints before - voiced by John Siracusa (you know the guy that writes 10+ pages reviews of new versions of OS X on Ars Technica? That's him.) on his 'Hypercritical' podcast.[1] It's long (1h15m, and it's only the first part.), but in my opinion absolutely worth listening to.
