Number of business email users? Tens of millions certainly.

"Would I pay for this?" is a great question for founders to ask, because it combines two of the most powerful techniques for generating startup ideas: solving problems you yourself have, and using payment as a test of how much people want something. One of my techniques for helping founders to come up with ideas is to ask them what they need so much that they'd pay for it.

But wait a second, weren't you stating a few days ago that lifestyle companies make people more rich than moonshots:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3647026

Please note: I say this as someone who has great respect for the look, feel, and polish of Freckle and your other work. My disagreement in that thread was purely about the empirical question of whether lifestyle business are better than moonshots in terms of the "get rich some day" probability.

Have you changed your mind or am I reading incorrectly?

I found this notable too. Using a hardline is probably harder to monitor and doing so would require ISP cooperation.
It's a pain the neck that is for sure!

Try Swahili (East Africa) names, they sound good rolling off the tongue. My steps have always been: Domain Check, Search Name on Internet with Combos, Trademark "word mark." If you can get past all of that, then you need to check for the logo design trademark search. Really, the wordmark is quite important. BUT....another important step now in my opinion is checking for all the Twitter and Facebook URL's too. Trying to brand that one domain with everything... makes it pretty tough huh?

If the domain is not available I move on, else go to the next steps.

I spent 4-6 months trying to come up with a name, but I suppose its different for everyone.
Pretty misleading title, if you ask me.

The question the article poses is, what good could come out of (more) foreign intervention? The US already has 100 soldiers in Uganda, and is apparently trying to actively capture Kony already.

Anyway, it's nice to get an African perspective on this issue. Interesting read!

@sjacobs, I can't find new ideas or things that "hackers" might find interesting here, Flagged.
You're right that VCs tend to be leery of the most ambitious ideas. That's another of the obstacles in your way if you pick one. But you shouldn't let your ambitions be limited by what VCs will fund.

(In any case you can trick them by only telling them about the initial few steps.)
I was considering moving to http://www.namecheap.com/. I guess that's equally good when it comes to general protection for domains.
Yes. The conscious revolution is just beginning, our species is very young, and the stars are still far away.
This perspective is interesting when applied to communications.

Parlay.
Courier.
Pigeon.
Mail.
Telegraph.
Telephone.
Transatlantic Comms.
Fax.
Early Internet.
Email.
Text Messaging.
Live Chat.
Voip.
Twitter.
Facebook Messages.
Video Chat.

It's a naîve summary of communications history, but look at the persistence of some of the early players. Many have not been replaced to this day - snailmail, POTS, Fax, Email, Chat, VOIP, Videochat - there are fundamental reasons to stick with certain technologies (Fax, POTS, FB and Twitter excepted). There is disruption to be had, but there is still massive value in some of the oldest methods, with some evolutionary shifts.

The services need to adapt, and incumbents do restrict progress, but the 'email killer' notion is not well conceived. Most people don't use email as a 'todo' - that's an extension, not a replacement. This is why Rapportive has a market, but is not _the_ market.
I would really like to send mobile push notifications to users of my service. (I send emails and/or SMS right now.)

Developing an iPhone & Android app - even a simple one that simply lets me alert users - is beyond my mobile dev abilities, and (I assume) would cost tens of thousands of dollars for someone to build.

Airgram might be the answer for me to let users get push notifications as an alternate alerting mechanism.
That sucks, but I'm surprised a domain was available when the trademark wasn't - usually it's the other way around. What's worse than likelihood of confusion claims are dilution claims. For marks that are well known enough, there doesn't even need to be any kind relationship. Even a small plush toy manufacturer couldn't call themselves "Microsoft." This is why so many web companies go with neologisms.

Here's a pretty good primer on trademark law: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/metaschool/fisher/domain/tm.htm

How do you all generally handle leap days when doing time math? If you're selling a service for one year, are you selling 365 days (02/28/12 - 02/26/13) or do you just give away the leap day for free (02/28/12 - 02/27/13)? Do you pay your salaried employees one day extra on a leap year?

What other leap year bugs have people run into? Generally the libraries I work with (e.g. python's timedelta) don't let you add months or years because of their ambiguity.
I think you're right, the hire art method may filter out people who are just fishing and help a person looking to hire someone to find people who are focused on doing the work to make it.

This is far more fair for workers in a non-recession than in a recession though -- where desperation will drive large numbers of workers to put in the extra time to get the job.

I might find your argument somewhat valid if RMS was able to pressure the Swedes to execute a raid against a proprietary software company, and send people off to serve prison sentences.

> When you use open source in a proprietary app,
> the original is still in tact

One thing that you're completely missing here is that by including it in a proprietary app without attribution, you are implicitly claiming that the work is your own. When was the last time that a college student downloading an mp3 claimed that he was artist that created the track?

GPL violations and media piracy only share copyright as a common thread, but copyright isn't the entire picture.
"...creating 100% safe neighborhoods through smart surveillance. People are rapidly becoming accustomed to being tracked all the time, anyway."

This comment shocks me. I'm not sure what to say. Are you being sarcastic?

An apt metaphor for people becoming accustomed to surveillance is slowly boiling frogs to death. And what is your definition of safe? If it were up to me, nobody could wear the color black at night -- too dangerous! Also, drinking too much at the club is not acceptable in my society!

I'm being silly, but where do you draw the line? It's a slippery slope...
I guess I don't see where you're going with this. Let's say the government wanted to trick a soldier into thinking he was killing a North Korean but he was really killing a Chinese soldier. What goal would that serve? Presumably, China would let the world know pretty fast what happened. Let's say the soldier thinks it's Afghanistan but it's really Scottsdale, AZ ... It seems like it would be hard to keep that a secret so why bother?
I disagree. I think many will find this interesting.

I love this feature, but unfortunately I've found that probably 30-40% of the websites that I supply with my email address will not accept it due to the "+" character. It seems like travel-related businesses are some of the worst offenders -- the vast majority of airlines and hotels seem to balk at the "+", which is frustrating, because "+travel" is one of my favorite filters.
Actually, there's no need to. Terminal IDE already comes with it's own replacement keyboard.

tl;dr

1. On February 29, 2012, new certificates created with a one-year expiration date by adding 1 to the year. Since February 29, 2013 is an invalid date, VMs wouldn't start.

2. After multiple attempts to restart failed VMs, physical hosts marked as failed, and VMs migrated to other physical machines -- the problem propagates.

3. Management services disabled to prevent customers from starting more VMs, compounding the problems.

4. After leap-day bug fixed, secondary failures caused by mixing up incompatible versions of a networking plugin, so VMs had no network access.

5. Total duration of outages: about 16 hours.

6. 33% of a month's service to be credited to all customers, regardless of who was affected.
That was intentional. That was anaphora.
Once you have spent the billion, you no longer have the resources to see if it works or not. Outrage away, it won't change the basic limitations of human cognition.
#2: Google does have Gmail tasks, with keyboard shortcuts for using them. But because there isn't yet a tasks API it's hard to sync with other things.

Some thoughts:

1. Whatever the new email is needs to look and feel like email at the beginning, though it can morph into something else over time. It also needs to be completely keyboard driven and entirely API controllable on the client and mail server side. GMail's API is only so-so and a moving target.

2. It should be initially marketed at power users who can define sophisticated functions on emails or groups of emails. Those with 100s of emails a day feel the most pain right now.

3. On Stackoverflow, before you can submit a new question, it is intercepted and searched against the database to determine whether it has already been answered. Similarly, you could have something that directly links email to search of a corporate database. Before you hit send, it suggests alternate things you could look at: Google Docs, github, the general web. This search would be a combination of statistical NLP and deterministic rules set up by the system administrator, and would intercept many informational or TODO type queries.

4. You might do something much more interesting with auto-responders. E.g. someone asking for a meeting could be redirected to your calendar to self-serve schedule if they are on your "ok to meet" whitelist.

5. More interestingly, you might also allow API-hooks for trusted senders and receivers. For trusted senders within your own corporate network, you might allow them to put some kind of button or hook in the email to permit more structured responses than free text. For example, they could discharge the TODO directly without having to click a link and leave email. Or in the case of the CEO below, it would be "authorize payment". You might actually be able to make this work today within GMail with suitable iframing.

6. A properly configured mutt or Emacs gnus has many interesting features that could be ported to the browser.

Tell me... how is "China" going to copy Apple's well-curated ecosystem of apps, content and accessories?
Canonical != Hardware manufacturer.

The problem with the hardware business is that good hardware takes money to make. It's not the sort of thing that you can fund on the kind of margins that most startup rounds deal with.

(Disclosure: I have never attempted a startup or tried to obtain funding for one.)
I think we'll see it again, though not necessarily from Google. What failed about Wave was the way the project was organized and pitched to users, not the idea.
With any luck they will take down sites like torrentfreak next.
> What aspiring drama writers / directors need are tools equivalent to game level editors to create their scenes without actors, cameras or studios.

I'm not trying to be intentionally dense, but that's just literature.

If you get rid of things like actors or cameras, you're no longer operating within the medium of television/cinema. And that's not specifically bad, but that's not specifically good, either.
Apart from Oracle Java it seems.
I'm not sure you can compare cable to email. I may be in the minority here, but I agree that email is not really a pain point for me. I pay $50/month for cable because that represents a choice of having ready access to television or nothing.

The idea that households would pay $50/month for email is a bit of a stretch given that the alternative is free email that works pretty damn well.
This kind of thing makes me sad. If Google had just built on top of the regular linux stack, even without X, they'd have all this for free. But instead Android is trapped with forked core libraries which track upstream poorly if at all; needless duplication (dumbed down rewrites of glibc, busybox, udevd); cave man software maintenance ("updates" by unzipping crap inside a boot loader).

It's a great app framework. But it's not even remotely close to being a self-hosted development environment, and probably never will be. Toys like this are just reminders about how much they threw out.

FTA:

> Here’s the thing. The LRA is an incredibly complex issue. By simplifying down to a case of “Goodies versus Baddies” the Invisible Children campaign risks undermining the very real progress that is being made against the LRA. Also released on Tuesday, in a report completely ignored by social media, a spokesman for the UN High Commission for Refugees said that a recent spate of LRA attacks were “the last gasp of a dying organisation that's still trying to make a statement,” adding that there were only about 200 LRA fighters left. Progress is being made. There’s even a chance that Kony will be caught or killed by the end of 2012 – but this will have nothing to do with a YouTube video, however slick it is.

I don't think that the statement "African politics has failed to solve a pretty awful issue for 25 years" is really accurate or fair. And that's one of the problems with this video -- it propagates this idea that Africans need Western powers to solve their problems for them.

And I guess I'd ask this: How does the attention of people in North America and Europe "force something to happen"? Force what to happen? Force Western military intervention? Give Ugandans more motivation to take out the LRA?

And, of course "Africa" isn't really the right word, anyways. It's an entire continent, after all, and the people in Uganda or South Sudan aren't the same as the people in, say, South Africa, or Botswana, or Somalia, etc., nor are the political/economic/social contexts necessarily the same.
Do you think there is really a large number of hackers who are not satisfied by the Mac on the one hand, or Linux on a Thinkpad on the other, and who would buy into this new system?

OK, so you really just want to target hackers first and then move into the consumer space once you have some traction. But consumers are starting to move away from laptops and toward things like smartphones and tablets. Apple is moving in this direction and has a head start. If you start by making laptops, Apple's head start is just going to grow.

Better to figure out what is going to come after smartphones and tablets, and get there before Apple does. I don't see any particular reason to retrace Apple's steps and start by building a laptop.

Some companies I suspect might be following a long-term strategy similar to this already:

* Google, with the rumored heads-up display project based on Android

* Jawbone

* Razer (in this case Apple is not the target)

That isn't correct, you could go and read the bill if you want: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h1981/text

Calling it the "Spy on Everyone Always Act" is sensationalized no matter what your opinion is on the bill. Most ISPs wouldn't even have to change their current behaviors to comply with it. (To be fair, that's not saying much anyway...)

The more bills we shoot down because of misinformation, the less likely we can defeat bills with more serious problems.
Thanks for sharing your story, Paul. I lost my young brother to a cycling accident last year. Best wishes.
Thank you very much for using it.
I had my share of frustrations installing RoR on Linux so I am glad my tutorial is helping others.
Yup, psych has been looking at this intently for a while - I think cognitive has been doing work looking into this.

There was an article on this a while back on HN as well - why walmart knew someones daughter was pregnant before her dad did. (forbes, after taking it from wired iirc)

Its based on the fact that peoples habits (in regards to shopping) are ingrained, and that there are only a few times in life when those habits are open to change.

Thats when there is a major change in their life - like a new job, baby, marriage and so on.

Dan O Reily (from arming the Donkeys) also had an old pod cast on this.
I am not talking about email as you know it.

I am talking about this service that pg thinks needs to replace email. I do agree with him that people currently use email in a way it was not intended to (todo list, sending files, etc), and that surely there must be a better way of doing these tasks, that would be worth $50/month, while getting rid of the limitations of email such as attachment size limits.

In fact I know I am right, because the reason we, in 2012, still have no easy way to share large files between friends and family members, is precisely because the storage and bandwidth costs are higher than the cost of email.
JASON, an open source joke
"It sounds like your friend is more of an employee #1 person"

Please explain this. I really don't see why someone with the knowledge and skill is supposed to be an employee taking orders from someone else. This sounds like wishful thinking on your part, as no one holding all the technical marbles is going to be an employee.
> there is still massive value in some of the oldest methods, with some evolutionary shifts.

Yes, and newer protocols often carry emulation layers for older protocols, so we have things like POTS running on top of TCP/IP, when just several years ago most of us still had TCP/IP running on top of POTS via dialup modems.

The other day I needed my insurance company to send a fax to my bank (banking regulations mandate the use of faxes rather than electronic formats to share documents). The insurance agent did it by hitting a few keys on her computer. A piece of paper didn't leave her office, but it arrived on cue at the bank's fax machine nonetheless.

Sidenote: One of the interesting side effects of the internet disrupting traditional retail is that the losses in traditional lettermail delivery are being offset by massive gains in package delivery. The USPS has pilloried itself by doubling down with huge new investments in the part of its business that is shrinking instead of pivoting into the obvious growth opportunity.

Boxing, also called pugilism, is a combat sport in which two people engage in a contest using only their fists. There are two forms of boxing: amateur and professional. Amateur boxing is an Olympic and Commonwealth sport and is a common fixture in most of the major international games – it also has its own World Championships. Boxing is supervised by a referee over a series of between one to three minute intervals called rounds. The result is decided when an opponent is deemed incapable to continue match by a referee or if an opponent is disqualified for breaking a rule, resigning by throwing in a towel, or by judges’ scorecards at the end of the bout.
