Ask HN: How do the growing number of marketplaces handle outgoing payments?
There seems to be an increase in startups that have two sided payment processing needs. That is to say they collect money from one party and pay it out to another. Just a few examples include Groupon, AirBNB, Etsy, Freelancer, Tippr, TaskRabbit, Uber and oDesk. All affiliate networks, advertising networks and other crowdsourcing marketplaces would fit this description as well.

Getting a merchant account is a hassle in itself (just to accept incoming payments). Dealing with outgoing payments via bank transfer, cheque, PayPal, Moneybookers, Amazon and others only adds to the complexity. Let alone on an international scale.

Are there any startups out there offering a service layer that makes the integration of all of these options as simple as a few lines of code? The upside of this would be that the provider only deals with one central point of contact, their users can choose the most convenient method for payout, that they'd gain instant global reach and have access to an extra level of fraud prevention (screening of users, cross-site analysis, etc.)

What startups are currently in a phase that could benefit from this? I'd imagine this would be startups in a stage of relatively fast growth and users all around the world.

Graduated response is only for P2P, which is presumptively illegal. ICE/SOPA goes after pirate sites. Nobody goes after the users of pirate sites, so you don't have to worry about that.
How exactly is GLSL's “coherent” memory qualifier interpreted by GPU drivers?
Obviously it can't look much like Codecademy and perhaps it is not about verbally stated principles. Maybe the bigger question is: how does the progress that has been made by people using technology to reduce the financial and social barriers to learning technical material translate to learning "softer" material? If we want to eventually live in a world where the university in its current form has been superseded (and I do), someone needs to answer that question. It sounds hard and uncertain but very valuable if successful - a winning combination if you ask me.
Dear god I hope you aren't suggesting moving to Ellensburg...
It seems like you think wishful thinking is a replacement for actual engineering knowledge. The difference between your story and today is that in the 80's (and 70's) tons of real engineers were already using the internet, dialing plenty of BBS's, and already knew the Internet was going to be huge - and understood the science of how it would grow.

In contrast, the only people willing to suggest that a decentralized wireless mesh has the possibility of replacing the internet are people that haven't used one and have no rf background.

I would consider getting a position at a very young start-up.

A small start-up would appreciate the cheap labor and the enthusiasm for the field that you bring. You will appreciate the chance to sharpen your skills and get experience in all of the tasks that come with being a part of a start-up. If you have some programming knowledge and a solid work ethic you will be a welcome member to some organization. They are taking a risk hiring someone without a deep background and you are taking a risk working for cheap with a company that may not succeed.

Second, I ran across a quote from Linus Torvalds that was along the lines of 'Do you keep track of what Windows is up to when you are working on Linux?' Linus: 'No, I simply do the best that I can.'. I think you need to keep this in mind as you self analyze.
the phrasing is vague, but all it is describing is tunneling http/etc through ssh. Ostensibly, you have some remote server whose internet connection is more "secure" than your home connection.

I for one do not own any servers in Switzerland...
Good news, everyone. Nobody told the ISPs about cryptography!
Here's a brief excerpt from the book:

http://byliner.com/lawrence-lessig/stories/one-way-forward-e...

If you're looking for a DRM-free version, we made that available via Apple's iBookstore and Google's eBookstore (now known as Google Play). A print-on-demand version is available via Blurb.com. All of these buying options are reachable from the book's page on Byliner:

http://byliner.com/originals/one-way-forward

One aspect of Byliner that's interesting (we hope) is the ability for authors to either update their stories, or provide detail behind their stories. A good example is Jon Krakauer's Three Cups of Deceit. In the months since its publication Jon has added 20,000 words of updates to his story:

http://byliner.com/jon-krakauer/stories/excerpt-three-cups-o...

Most of our authors continue to evolve their stories after publication, to the benefit of readers. We hope that Professor Lessig does the same with One Way Forward, which we were very proud to publish.

With 450,000 servers don't you think Amazon could do a better job of recommending books for me than just finding books just like the one I just read? I get better recommendations from the new books table at any self-respecting bookstore. It's about what I _haven't_ read!
I work in information security, and while my company doesn't have the sophistication necessary to know exactly what data is contained in each and every packet that goes through the network (that's not what we do), I could give a "this is how I would decide" overview.

We've got pretty rudimentary tools at my job, but we can still see source and destination address (even through a NAT and proxy on our end), IP ports/protocol, time of day and speed of connection trends, and we can do small amounts of packet inspection (we grab the first 120 bytes of every packet).

With this data, I'm able to tell if someone is using BitTorrent vs Skype (they're both peer-to-peer UDP packets to random addresses, so finding the difference is key). I can tell where their information is being sent to. If the packet is not encrypted, I can see exactly what is being sent (the header data will show filenames being transferred). DNS data will tell me what site they've just visited, and packet capture will tell me what specific page they're on and what search terms they used on that site.) With an unencrypted session, it's as easy as piecing the domain name from DNS (thepiratebay.com) to the packet capture (http: 11:23pm March 15, "the office", /search/test/0/99/0) to the user (10.250.250.10) to the network flows (every few seconds there's another couple packets going out to or coming from a few dozen address across the world). Bam, we've got an infringing user.

Now granted, people will likely be using encryption. I don't know how the tools handle this, we don't do anything with it at my job. However, I would imagine the ISPs could do deeper packet inspection. I would imagine they simply don't care if your traffic is legal or not. They may assume it's all illegal and serve notice anyway. There may be an appeals process. As for the difference between Hulu and joe-streams-hollywood.com, I would imagine they have a whitelist of addresses.

TL;DR; I don't know, but I can make an educated guess. Best bet, encrypt your traffic but don't rely on that to save your ass.

Believing that the GOP that exists today is more libertarian in ways that actually affect your life, and what libertarianism means to you, regarding how government operates than the Democratic party is a mistake. Politics is not about grand philosophies and isms, it is about what set of deals and compromises each politician has made.
IANAL, but from what I understand, a consumer is not guilty of watching illegally-duplicated media; it is whoever makes the content available who is breaking the law. So ISPs would only have to stop people uploading content.

This is relatively easy for P2P and streaming sites, but I don't see how you could ever hope to police "file lockers" like MegaVideo; users would just upload encrypted files (even just password-protected zip files) and distribute the password. If it starts to be a cat-and-mouse game, I expect offshore filelockers will start providing privacy-protecting features for uploaders, coupled with a lot of fun and games with DNS records.

NPR said they are building it there because Utah has the most linguistically talented population in the country due to Mormon missionary work. eBay is building a call center there for the same reason.
this is something we should put in place ahead of time, so we can turn it on if...

But people won't put it in place unless it provides some advantage immediately, which it doesn't.
OK, so... let's think about this. If Googlers can buy flashlights, so can anyone. What's more likely is that certain datacenters have limited heat removal ability, and room lights are just a waste of heat.

It's fun to imagine what happens at Google, but you have to temper your wild speculation with some thoughts about the real world.
I don't see how Ron Paul losing more publicly than ever will help Rand's career.
You know, syncing is the least I do with Git. In fact, for my personal projects, the syncing is entirely incidental--just a lazy way to publish and back up my files.

In addition to syncing, I use Git to keep track of my history, to maintain multiple versions in parallel, to work on different features at the same time without interfering with each other and probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting. All this just for projects with one programmer--for work and group projects, I use even more complicated features.

So yes, if all you want is syncing, perhaps Git is contrived. But if you actually want version control, it's actually pretty simple.
>As a user, I have no way to know that the first one is legal while the second isn't.

"Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it". Bullshit, isn't it?

--edit: I'm not arguing this point. I'm just pointing out that not knowing the law isn't a valid legal defense, so not knowing which site was legal would not prevent a user from prosecution.
That's why they wanted to use SOPA to shut down cyberlockers completely; it's much easier than playing wack-a-mole with individual files.

We have chickens too, around 25 free range + a pony + a few ducks, and had issues with dogs and wild coyotes. I think harming the animal is a bit inhumane but I totally understand where you are coming from. Remember you are a guest in their space.

Here are some suggestions that have worked for our farm:

1. Pee around the coop. Enough said.

2. Get a puppy and train him. We have an aussie that does a great job, but there are other breeds that make even better farm dogs.

3. Train the chickens to go back into the barn when the sun goes down. This isn't very hard and most of the time they will do it themselves.

4. Motion sensor and/or electric fence on a timer.

5. Be aware; this is by far the hardest thing.

Our first year we lost 10 chickens. If that's not motivation enough to do something, I don't know what is but I would never hurt another animal for doing what they do naturally.
Is that even possible? How would one even go about doing so?
The equation is different for cable companies than it is for content producers. Cable companies (I'm including phone companies that provide TV service) are competing with the internet itself, in aggregate. They're thinking much longer term. If they can get people to make a habit of watching TV through them instead of the internet, they win.
Very well put.

I bet you received many downvotes from people who felt the need to justify their morbid curiosity over respecting the innocent will of a person.

Don't let a few downvotes silence you. Pretty sure we are not the only ones who think likewise and won't even make the effort to try to sound PC and complimentary.

The road to 1144 delegates for Romney is getting trickier and trickier with every passing primary contest[1]. It's possible to imagine a number of scenarios where Romney, in order to clear the magic number on the first ballot at the convention in Tampa, engages in horse trading with Paul in order to put him over the top.

Well then you get into the difficulty of actually achieving this. Lets take a mid-size metropolitan area, with a population density of 500 people per square mile. How does everyone in the apartment buildings generate their own electricity or pump their own water? And if a 1000-person apartment complex begins pumping water from directly beneath themselves, what happens when the water is gone? And where does the water go when it has been used? Where does the runoff from the streets go? Is there a water treatment plant, and if so, who resells that water? Or do we just keep pumping water from the ground in one area and dumping it back in another, until the ground is dry under the city?

How many solar panels would be on a building if everyone had to generate their own power? How many wind turbines? How many generators? Where would this space come from, and who would pay for it? What if those panels or turbines could not generate enough on one specific day? Is there a contingency plan?

Even if you think the current market of ISPs and content distribution is bad, don't delude yourself into thinking the Internet would exist without cities. With cities comes a need for utility management. If everyone had enough land to generate their own power and water, your Internet bills would be worlds more expensive and your control over entertainment products would be far less (what local bands will you see when your nearest neighbor is three miles away and there's no centralized location to perform?)

Let me know if I've completely misunderstood your statement.
When you bring money and power dynamics into the equation, he notion of consent gets complicated. Consent means free engagement in activity not due to pressure, economic, social, or otherwise. A parent and child or student and teacher having sex is frowned upon by many liberals, not because they are prude, but because they believe consent is not possible in that case.
The parent to your comment would have made a lot more sense to you if you had read its parent. Just saying.
"Wow, that's phenomenal."

That's quite a halo effect that has prevented you from seeing the true "success rate".

Gyms in the USA can be pretty cagey with pricing as well. I looked at a few different gyms briefly and could not get even a ballpark figure what the price would be. They all wanted to set up a meeting with their sales guy. One guy said it depends on my job, where I live, etc ... I was pissed and left. Luckily, I knew a guy at one of the gyms who got me signed up for $29/month. When one of the employees saw that, he said the owner must really like me to approve that, so I guess it was a good deal. However, I know a sales guy that makes $100k/year, who got a gym membership located in a wealthy community for only $25/month.
Um. How would it be short? Do you expect insurrection over porn? Impeachment? I certainly agree that the porn industry would be pissed, but exactly what do you expect it to do?

Hahaha, think they're gonna tell you? The NSA is by FAR the most secretive govt agency, more so than the NGA, CIA, or any other three letter agency. And the scale of their operations are kinda scary, and probably violate several consitunional rights... But's that's just opinion banter, will we ever really know for sure?
Chelan or Douglas counties would be best, so Chelan, Wenatchee, Waterville....
Porn is already dirt cheap to produce and readily available for free. People pay for porn because they are lazy or stupid or look at ads for scams that abuse their stupidity.

Also, your solution doesn't solve the "problem" of watching porn, which is most of the problem prudes have with porn.
A few years ago I remember reading about this on slashot. If I remember correctly, their electricity bill has something to do with the move as well, as I think the NSA accounts for 1/4 of the electricity supplied to Maryland.

Here's the real backstory.

You have Santorum mixed up with Romney. Santorum really believes all this stuff, he isn't just saying it to get elected. He is about as puritanical in his beliefs as you can get. While I respect him for being so open and being who he is, I frankly find it frightening that he is winning primaries.
haha. I hear they pay pretty well too.

edit: why the downvotes? I'm not trollin, they actually pay a percentage above the standard govt pay scale.

I agree. It's outrageous and irresponsible to not only stalk down his current location and place of employment, but then to announce it to the world, even though it serves absolutely no purpose. This is not a journalist, it's a hack. The publisher, in publishing this crap can no longer be taken seriously. It's tabloid journalism at its worse.

The claim that the human brain is entirely physical in its behavior? That's an extremely common (albeit contentious) viewpoint held by AI optimists, as well as many general humanists. (In fact, to argue against it is by definition to argue for the existence of the supernatural.) I have always assumed that the vast majority of computer scientists would believe that the brain (and indeed, the Universe) is computable (in theory, of course—we obviously would have trouble creating a computer big enough to actually do it). The popular CS books "Gödel, Escher, Bach" and "The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul" both discuss the idea a lot, and the latter claims it as its central hypothesis.
I think the main thing that scares me about this is how just being a prominent (in terms of garnering attention) open-source hacker seems to give people the right to pry into your privacy and reveal your personal information to the world.

It's ironic that in _why's quest to disappear he permanently implanted his real identity in web folklore instead of quietly fading away.

> I happen to know that the Principle of Conservation of Energy

That is the most ironic attack on religion I have ever seen considering that the big bang was a huge violation of conservation of energy. (Science currently has no explanation for it. It may someday, but right now it's completely unknown.)

Religion actually affirms conservation of energy by saying the energy came from outside the system, and that the nature of this outside system is unknown.

The main difference is that Religion hold that the nature of this outside system will never be known, and Science holds that we may someday know it, but currently do not.
