Ask HN: Best virtual mailbox service?
Going to be moving soon, looking for a good mailbox service, like Earth Class Mail (http://www.earthclassmail.com/) or Virtual Post Mail (http://www.virtualpostmail.com/). Both of these look OK but I was curious if anyone had a better option. Simply looking for a service where I get an address that I can give to everyone and the company will scan and upload my mail for me.
Pretty cool. Looking forward to the release of some CS classes
Why worried? I understand it signifies less of an exciting engineering presence in the united states, but beyond being disappointing, why is that actually a problem?
Aesthetics might be more appropriate. Ascetics are likely to not care much about colors ;-)
You might be right. But dropping one giant startup in there will almost certainly mean new coffee shops, restaurants, and more courage for other startups to move in.
It's all well and good for MG and Arrington to say these things, VCs aren't the ones who're going to be called up to face the FTC. In all my dealings with VC-types, they've tended to be pretty cavalier when it comes to advising founders how to treat users' private data, maybe because they themselves aren't really on the firing line. Hockey-stick growth is more important to them; if the money comes, the fines will be paid and all will be well. This is business. Sony's still making money, after all. And Facebook, look at Facebook! Just look at that S-1 glow! I'm blinded, that's for sure.

But founders and fellow entrepreneurs, we need to hash this out internally (pardon the pun): Sure, harvesting address books can gain you explosive growth, but at what eventual cost? Can you really sleep at night? George opted in to address book sharing to find his friends in your shiny new app, but he didn't really think that his CEO would get a push notification saying "'GeorgeTheFurryStud' would like to talk to you!" when his CEO eventually signed up. Even if you're using SSL, even if you're hashing addresses (which isn't a cure-all, being able to intuit connections divulges a lot of info), are your servers really that secure? And what if you're not Facebook? It's highly unlikely that you're even in the league (no offense, none of us are).

Either way, politics is afoot here. Would advise other founders and developers to do what they believe is right & lawful, and not bow to pressure or any of this "no one cares about privacy" stuff, 'cause while the money guys and gals may lose a little investment, we're ultimately responsible for our companies' actions. It's us (and our companies, and our users, and our team) on the line here.

TL;DR:

Accelerators are giving money and investing in companies. Adding value through mentorship, money, etc.

Incubators are taking money and investing in things like infrastructure. Colocation isn't inherently beneficial.
I believe rather than focusing on people in your friends circle, it would be a better idea to focus on friends of your friends. Say an app that listed the photo and short bio of all of your friend's friends. You could then express an interest in somebody you would like to date and the app would notify your mutual friend and that friend would make an introduction.

Ofcourse there are certain issues with this approach too like the mutual friend being someone you 'kindof sortof' know, or a mutual friend who happens to be an ex of yours.
Yes that cleared it up, thanks.

It's not my understanding that there was actual verified child pornography on the site that wasn't being removed when it was discovered. There were photo groups on the site with questionably legal photos of clothed underage children.

I always assumed those Reddit groups were serving as honeypots to nab child pornographers once enough information could be gathered. I'd be really surprised if Reddit didn't have an information sharing deal worked out with the Feds like 4chan did a while back, considering the high visibility of certain groups like r/jailbait and the like.

My only thinking on the reason for this was that the bad publicity generated by the SA campaign was too much for the site. Once CNN picks up the story that your site is hosting child pornography, its probably best to reevaluate.

Hah, no reason to get defensive. Javascript is a great language. If you don't like it, you are free to feel that way. But there is a huge number of people who like it. Personally, it is my favorite programming language. It just feels right.

> The interesting part is that it's not always clear to me why this exploitation is done

My cynical guess is that there is significant money to be made in pushing girls towards early sexualization. The idea is to get them worrying about sexuality, and all of the things they think they need to do in order to be considered sexually attractive. This would include things like hair products, lipstick, and clothing. By creating this association between the mere ideas of "sexy" and "what everyone's already doing," they can instill a deep sense of status anxiety at an early age. This anxiety is not only easy to create (as the age group is highly hormonal), it feeds off of existing social hierarchies that are emerging. And, I believe, the advertiser hopes it is the beginning of a lifelong addiction to buying things in order to feel worthwhile.

I hope you don't take this to be hyperbole; I'm actually surprised it came out as dark as it did. But, now that I think of it, it is violence against the soul, and thus, evil.

The exact timeline for all the projects isn't clear, but it hints of a relatively short period, say 3 years?

10 (make that 11) projects in 3 years seems like a high number to me. Yes, lessons can be learned by failure, and test pivoting early is good if needed, but if you're failing this often, and (disturbingly) for the same reasons then there surely must be a time to step back and take some time to do things differently.

The disagreements with founders being repeated so often is a sign of something. I realize that it may indeed be "the other guy" in all cases, but sooner or later folk will stay wondering if it's you. At best, your ability to select partners comes into question.

There must also be a balance between this frantic skipping from one project to another (6 months per project?) and putting in the time to get a product done right. It _feels_ like you're looking for an overnight smash hit, or you bail quickly. The conference project felt especially like this. You narrowed the market to a tiny segment, the segment incidentally that had the least motivation to pay anything, then opted not to follow through on the markets that are more likely to pay. It's like you built a job site, focused on people who already had high paying gigs, rather than people out of work desperate for jobs, or employers disparate for employees.

I think the article was really interesting, and I think an excellent learning experience for others - thank you for being honest enough to post it. I think you have learnt some lessons along the way, and hopefully these comments will make the xperience more valuable to you. I wish you all the best with finding the one-true-project you want to commit to long-term.

Why is there an overwhelming assumption that alien life is going to be in any way more remotely intelligent than say, the average earth cockroach? I've always assumed that if we meet alien life, it's going to be smaller and dumber than humans. Perhaps I'm just pessimistic, but this seems a legitimate assumption.
I would disagree with that fairly strongly. While there are other choices for specific niches, for most web development Django is the first thing that most Python developers will look at, mainly due to it's user base and libraries.
As much as I love libraries, they are extremely inefficient considering their purpose.

It's the new reality facing California libraries. Either that, or just close down. Seeing how county and city governments in California are more concerned with telling porn studios how to conduct their business, the libraries are gonna run out of money very quickly.
Except moving a single private account to a google apps for business account doesn't make much sense. Actually that isn't even 'moving' an account as creating a new one and importing stuff by hand. Prove me wrong, but last time I checked it worked that way, and if it made any sense you'd have an 'upgrade' button everywhere (which I'd probably use). Apps ia a business suite for collaboration in business entities, not 'a paid gmail'.

Man in uniform saved a kitten from a tree? Clearly pro-Iraq war propaganda. Etc.

Actually, sounds terribly like it. I.e not pro-Iraq per se, but pro-military in general. Those kinds of images are used all the time, especially in countries heading or involved in wars. Also the "soldiers doing cool things", "soldier playing guitar back in the camp and longing for home", "soldiers having some innocent fun between attacks", and the "soldier is a regular guy from some place back home", etc. They are used in order to make the military personnel look humanize, and in effect humanize the war effort.

(Of course, that's not to say that soldiers aren't human: just that this has nothing to do with them being soldiers. Everyone is human -- but war is dehumanizing and makes you do dehumanizing things).

This is true, but note that the article was written in the context of PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. PostgreSQL can do many types of table migrations with no downtime (dropping columns, renaming, adding columns that default to NULL, and creating indexes). Before I made the switch from MySQL to Postgres I did some quick benchmarks which support these claims on a 5 million row test table: https://gist.github.com/1620133.

Your argument makes it pretty clear it is you that have not used Javascript very much.

setTimeout( 100, imp.q) // DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, 100 is not a function

And if you thought about it for more than a few seconds, you would realize that the behavior of "this" makes sense and is less magical than in other languages. Since "imp.q" is not a function call, it is a reference to a function, you are simply passing in a function. Since javascript "classes" are just objects with function references, you can't somehow decide what object "this" should point at unless it is explicit. In the case of "foo.bar()", it is explicitly "foo". In the case of setTimeout( foo.bar, 100), all setTimeout gets is a function pointer with no notion of what this should be.

Anyway, the rest of your gripes just sound like you don't like untyped languages, which is personal preference and I guess I don't share your preference.
One thing that struck me was how pessimistic many messages were. They were somewhere along the lines of "don't land!", "save me!", and "please save me!".
This type of thinking and other similar viewpoints indicate a strong likelihood of another world war.

Yeah, but why should they care? A war for a sufficiently advanced country such as US just means some place thousands miles away getting bombed, and a small percentage (compared to the enemy) of professional soldiers getting hurt. In other words, they have no f/n concept of what war actually entails and the toils of a country at war.

Well, the budget might be hurt a little, but that's it. Whereas even the budget of the other small country will be totally devastated by a war.
Judging strictly from observations, that's the most likely scenario, but it never hurts to have a plan B.
They were probably using a C compiler from the 70s that puts all struct members in a global namespace.
As a working professional AND a grad student, agreed. The page says you should expect to devote 10 hrs per week to the course. Sounds awesome but I just don't have that kind of time. I think this is a great program they have going though and maybe I'll be able to get in on some of the future classes.

Similar idea but from 3 years ago: http://www.geekalerts.com/wind-up-battery/

wow.can I check those sites to get some idea?
I had the impression that wars mostly break out when each side thinks they have the upper hand. While there are some instances of suicidal attacks by societies that have been backed in to a corner, I would expect that in most cases, the obvious loser of a potential conflict will try to find some less costly way out.

I think I first encountered this idea in an essay about Lewis Fry Richardson's research, but I can't find the citation. His idea was that by analyzing the theory of conflict, he hoped to make prediction of the eventual winner more reliable, reducing the occurrence of mis-matched estimates leading to war.
A good way to ease into programming is to tweak something simple but graphical, For instance:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb203893%28v=xnagame...

has lots of numbers and some very basic animation that can be tweaked. You really have to grab their interest before going into writing something from scratch or learning the basics.

Javascript is not as forgiving as a first development environment. I would use VS/C#, Eclipse/Java, or Netbeans/Java because the static code analysis will highlight mistakes.
Nerdy pickup lines never work.
Most libraries have moved beyond just renting out books a while ago.
>I said the majority of them were illegal.

Right, so how many of them have you looked at to make that judgement?

And perhaps more importantly, isn't it slightly problematic (or at least odd) when a large number of people are justifying the ban by calling this material illegal... and to be able to argue that they must, surely, have committed the crime of viewing child pornography online themselves? (Keeping in mind that, when it comes to child pornography laws, viewing is very much a crime - it's not like witnessing a murder.)
Which purpose are you ascribing the inefficiency to?
People don't really grok the energy stored in a AA because it seems so innocuous. A rechargeable AA has about 40 joules of PE. That's as much as a handgun bullet. To make that much energy by winding your battery would take all day. Adding a little spring probably makes it worse, not better than just gearing the little generator to be cranked directly.

A (fill in the blank) Apology Letter for Startups
The best way to prevent war is through trade.

Actually trade means opposed interests, which is the fastest way to get into a war. There's a wishful thinking picture by some economists that trade is always beneficial to all parties involved, and countries that trade cannot go to war, bla, bla. The funny thing is, those theories were at their peak around 1900 too, "surely global trade as it is now will end wars etc" and we know what followed then.

Actually, weren't Afghanistan and Iraq countries that traded oil with most of the countries that bombed them? Then, one thinks, why pay X for oil, and be subject to the seller's demands and/or willingness to prefer my over other buyers, when I can just get there and just take it?
What do they do now? I know some provide desks, wifi, services like fax and copy machines (which they usually charge for), and public classes (reading clubs, basic computer classes, etc.).

The boiling-water example is unfortunate, since water can be boiled without the addition of heat (hence, temperature increase) at low enough pressures.

The author of the article fails to mention it. The author of the paper does, but fails to consider that maybe the decrease in reported cases in 1989 is just as spurious as the increases in the late 90s. The decrease in reported child sex abuse started in the 70's, according to the study.
