You know AcTrack? It's a reality-mining plug-in that learns about academic networking using physical proximity, along with email and calling patterns. Last semester we put it on everyone's phones.

All right, so I'm running AcTrack. Is everyone else who's running AcTrack appearing on Google Maps?

No, but you know Tinkle? It's a new femtoblogging service going through a beta trial. Like microblogging, only snappier. It tells everyone in your network where you are and how you're feeling, once a minute.

But why am I running it at all, and why is it telling complete strangers where I am?

Oh, I doubt you're actually running a Tinkle client. But on the server side, AcTrack and Tinkle are both application layers that run on a lower-level platform called Murmur. It's possible that there's been some glitch with Murmur -- maybe a server crash that was improperly recovered and ended up corrupting some files. Tinkle does hook into Google Maps, and though it shouldn't be putting anyone on the public database, if you don't belong to any Tinkle Clan it might have inadvertently defaulted you to public.

Credit card transactions between friends still aren't that easy. Not everyone likes (or has) Paypal, etc.

Something like this would be extremely helpful for situations like multiple couples renting a beach house or people chipping in for an expensive gift for somebody else.
I love how the text "Mint collects $0.99 for each transaction" is the only thing on the entire page colored that particular shade of grey, which somehow makes it even more conspicuous (while obviously being intended to be the opposite)

Standard caveat with checking the Referer header: there is software out there which strips out the header in the name of privacy. If you use the Referer as a source of validation, you have to be prepared to deal with users of Norton Internet Security and other such products who will be unable to use your site. And you can't "fail open" by accepting any request without a referer, since there are plenty of techniques an attacker can use to remove the referer as well.

No that it's necessary, but I can't see any comment anywhere here or on the dotsies about numbers...

Also - diacriticials. This works fine in English, but pretty much every other place that uses the latin alphabet needs to use some kind of extra marks - even if we ignore the ones that are basically de-facto unused these days.... but in spanish the ´ is rather importnat to indicate emphasis and hence meaning or past tense, the ¨ is used occasionally, and n and ñ are two different letters, rather important if you want to be saying "happy new year" instead of "happy new anus" (año = year)

perhaps an alternate version for different languages?
Spanish should be easy considering we only have to take into account ´ and ¨ as a diacritical - the rest "ll" and 'ñ' are taught in school as separate and distinct letters in the alphabet (as htey relate directly to pronunciation, no exceptions- ll is always a y, ñ is always like "ny" - not sure about the ¨ - it's not used often, and the difference is subtle - though possibly important - common in people's names I think, where you'd want to get it right. - have to look it up.
Hi mistermann,

1. Depends on your expectations. If the absolute lowest price is found on Kayak.com, then that's the price you'll get. We can't change that, but we can save you lots of time by making sure that's the lowest price. Of course, we do save a lot of people money on short trips, but the longer the better.

2. Yes, absolutely. Just describe your requirements in the comments section and make sure you work with the experts to keep them on the right track. This is really where we can save the most for you.

3. No, not at all. This is a global service. It works best when you're flying to lesser know places because our experts may have local knowledge that helps get better prices than you know.

4. Only a very small percentage of winning flights use loopholes. But yes, they can and do disappear. Luckily, because we're "human-powered" and because these loopholes are discovered by humans, it's more likely you'll get access to loophole savings on Flightfox.

5. Yes, maybe, probably, not sure :)

6. We need to reach critical mass to really leverage the power of frequent flyer points. We'll get there soon :)

7. At this stage, it's all human powered. We're only a few weeks old, so we hope to evolve. Some of our experts claim to use custom software. There are definitely lots of manual tricks and tips too.

All the best and thanks for the kind words.

I do best between 10PM-3AM because that's when I get the most uninterrupted time. After the wife and kids go to bed, I'll crawl back out for some hacking. I'd prefer getting up at 4am, but if I do, it's not long before my wife notices I'm gone and then she can't get back to sleep.

However, I've got the sort of job where I have to be there by around 9-10am. Staying up until 2-3am takes its tolls, and many nights I can't stay up much past 9pm due to only getting 4 hours of sleep the night before. If I were able to sleep later, I'd prefer the 10pm-3am shift. I feel and think better after getting up at 4am than when I stay up until 3am, fighting the desire to just fall asleep on my laptop.

TMUX is very nice to have on those nights I have to fight sleep. I almost always end when I'm at the point that I'm too tired to write logical thoughts any longer. I just shut the laptop lid and go to bed, ignoring the fact that I've still got 3 files open in vim and an active ssh connection...

2 Bros is pretty known and established. They have a network of numerous (I believe the article says 11) restaurants, so I doubt they need the publicity, if anything it can cause issues as customers may demand lower prices in their other stores.

Personally, I believe 2 Bros is likely the better $1 pizza as they have enough stores to buy more quantity, thus they can probably use better ingredients. I find their slices to be comparable, of not better than your average run of the mill pizza place that charge $2,25 to $2.50 a piece. They make money on quantity, thus can sacrifice a bit on the price.
If you want your kids to read faster than you get them on speed reading training - just takes constant training.

Teach them sign language, while young when it's really easy to learn (harder for us adults, though apparently not hard either) - it could open up a lot of doors, and if I'm not mistaken it's somewhat internationalized? If enough of the new generation groks that, imagine what it does for communication.

Teaching them a new alphabet nobody uses won't help anything, other than theri own shorthand - but that can be improved even better by teachin ghtem real shorthand.

Also consider having them learn a second language - Mandarin probably. Throw in a romance language and they'll have no trouble learning new languages in a snap throughout life.... they'll naturally see patterns and grab concepts adults who grow up with a single language/alphabet don't.
I have used WePay (https://www.wepay.com/) in the past and really liked it. They charge less than Mint is planning on charging. For credit cards its 3.5% with a 50 cent min. The fee is less if you use your bank account.
Looks legit.
Ha! I am sure most end up at famous famiglia. My goal with tourist is to be just nice enough that they have a good time but just mean enough that they don't want to move here. Have to keep rents down :)
You're completely missing the point, but that's not your fault. There's a little known "phenomenon" (that was previously posted here on HN) about the almost matching prices of a pizza slice and the price of a subway ticket: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Pizza_Connection

"He noted in 1980 that from the early 1960s the price of a slice of pizza "matched, with uncanny precision, the cost of a New York City Subway ride."[1]"

And that phenomenon is (was?) ongoing even now.
Yeah, and speaking for myself, actually parsing the words is never the slowest part of comprehending a piece of text. Much slower is figuring out what a whole thought is saying, figuring out how it fits into the fabric of the text, figuring out whether it’s right, what it says about the author’s agenda, what news ideas it provokes, etc.

There’s certainly some marginal advantage to come from improving word parsing speed, but just like any speed reading technique, that advantage goes only so far, I would guess. (For instance, if I’m only trying to recognize words & nominally parse the grammar, I can move my eyes much faster and cover text extremely quickly, but when I’m doing that, I’ll typically realize at the end of a paragraph or page that I don’t fully understand what’s being said because I haven’t taken the time to think through all the implications.)
Numbers are unaltered. Optimizing them wouldn't save much space in normal english text, since they're rare.

>I hear what you're saying, but isn't that "problem" what open source is all about?

It's an artifact of Open Source, but it doesn't mean it's what "open source is all about". It would still be Open Source even if there was only one best-of-breed project with an open source license, instead of several fragmented options.

If people were unhappy with that, they could then fork that ONE project to their taste --or start others but in a much smaller scale.

Like, say, Linux: it's still Open Source, but gets 99% of the love, user base, and community and enterprise support that other open OSs get. So you have some alternatives (FreeBSD, etc) but not the more dire effects of mass fragmentation.

It's not like, say, LESS vs SASS are THAT different to warrant two different projects, anyway.

"Mr. Kumar said he was contemplating checking with a lawyer to see if there might be a city law that somehow prohibits a business from selling pizza at outlandishly cheap prices."

This thought is sickening.
I get that - but the Google security FAQ suggests that fixing the issue is essentially impossible, whereas I'm pretty sure fixing it is the same as fixing any other CSRF hole.

Psychologists found a while ago that people are more open and less inhibited when technology mediates their interactions with other people. This same effect probably carries over to providing personal data to online services. Somehow it doesn't quite feel like sharing with the world when you are only making an update on your phone.
If you do that, you then have to make sure your app doesn't have any redirector anywhere or anything that writes Location. Almost all apps do. This is because you can get the site to insert the right referrer.

for eg. if the URL of the attack request is (both of these are close to real life examples that work(ed))

http://www.site.com/mail/filter?create=*%2Cattacker%40hush.c...

usually the site will have a redirector on the login action, which takes the user back to the page that they were on after login, so you just use the attack URL as the redir URL

http://www.site.com/login?return_to=%2Fmail%2Ffilter%3Fcreat...

amazing how many login scripts still do the redirect even if the user is already logged in, or still do the redirect even if there is no real login

even if you do a javascript in-place login, there is usually a mobile version that has this pattern. I rarely meet a site that doesn't have a way to bounce between URLs and fake the referrer.

I guess the real conclusion is that these types of attacks are complicated and better understood fully than implying a single short solution - because the next response is always "but, if you do that, then" and so forth, like a matryoshka doll
Thats what I said, we don't want Javascript to be Java like
The only point I'm making is that a non-programmer has to hire someone to do the work or learn how to do it themselves (and thereby become a programmer).

In my experience the latter is a hell of a lot more rare than the programmer learning business skills. Consequently it's far more likely to see a programmer developing a successful business solo than a non-programmer developing a successful business solo, so in my opinion you can't just flip the argument around and say it works both ways.

Note I'm not suggesting that a co-founder isn't important or valuable, simply that the argument cannot be flipped around; I'm personally looking at recruiting an old friend once my product reaches MVP because a co-founder is important for some products.

In SFO, I haven't seen any of this and security seems pretty much unchanged, but recently going through San Diego was a completely different experience. There they were searching passengers and using full body scanners on children. I overheard a mom telling her kids, "just do what they tell you" waiting in line to be searched, and being a dad, was immediately sick to my stomach thinking of what these kids were learning. If you don't have children you have no idea that simple statements like that can become rules in a child's brain; rules that are likely to get applied out of context.

Just curious, how would you answer a 3-6 year old child as to why it is ok for a uniformed stranger to be touching them?
The amount of effort that would be needed to shift from a Turing complete language to a non Turing complete would outweigh the benefits by a very large amount.

the thing a lot of these articles don't talk about is how to attract these employees to your startup in particular, because the class of person a startup wants to hire, can get hired by a lot of other startups too.

two factors, I think:

1. invest significant effort in networking in your local tech community. why should I want to work with you? how do I know you understand technology? speak at conferences and meetups, show up at hack nights, interact with the local talent so they can get to know you, and when they decide to switch jobs, they will approach you.

2. pick an interesting business with interesting tech. All engineers good and bad exist on a spectrum of value. The harder your technical problems, the more you need the very best engineers. If your problem is mostly not technical, you don't need as many rockstars, and they don't have to be quite as strong.

there was a recent YC job post for a "recruiting engineer" which made me groan inside. Your best engineers are the only ones who can attract other best-of-class engineers. typical recruiters, of course, are out of the question.

Yes it wont be able to read it. But that's not what they are after. What they do want is to execute some user action on the server side. So this action would have taken place just by executing the GET/POST request.
The point that those blog posts make is that it's possible for a malicious attacker to log people out of a third-party site in multiple ways (specifically by messing with the user's cookies). Protecting one of those ways provides little to no benefit if the others are still unprotected.

One reason I've also heard cited is that you always want the logout links in your application to work: you want users to be able to terminate their sessions quickly and easily. If you have a CSRF token tied to your user's session and that user happens to click on an old logout link (maybe they had an old tab open or something), the user won't be logged out of the application.

Linux distributions (and GNU, and BSDs) don't have to "win" the desktop. They already have, with one important qualification: you have to care.

Mind you, if you are looking for one-size-fits-all, Windows fits the bill perfectly. All the choices have been made. But if you value customization, Linux and BSDs are your only choices.

(I mean, for Pete's sake, you can boot a room full of machines from a KNOPPIX terminal server, running out of a virtual machine, and then migrate that running VM to a system you just booted FROM it... And shut down the original! We're not in Kansas anymore!)

Linux is certainly less appealing as a dogfood, despite concerted efforts, in part because people can't take the brands they paid money for, along with them. That's why "free is not cheap enough" for many people and efforts to make Linux "sexy" can only go so far without this.

Commercial games are the epitomy of this and Linux doesn't get big commercial games. (Maybe that's because Linux users are mostly zealots who haven't bought a game in over a decade, because they are against DRM, etc... But that's a tangent.)

I'm not sure winning the dogfood market is even a worthwhile goal.

There is actually a LOT of duplication of effort happening right now with so many distributions trying make the Linux desktop "sexier," simpler, and more like Windows. Maybe it's just me, but that feels like the wrong solution. When I need Windows for "legacy" reasons (to run that proprietary accounting software, because that's what my accountant accepts), I just fire up KVM or Wine.

I don't think the Linux (BSD, etc) camp needs to take competing with Windows so seriously. They've already won. There is simply nothing better, if you care about code. You don't have to know everything, but you have to -- ehem -- RTFM. Non-coders simply aren't the primary audience. I know there are some who would disagree.

If you run a shop that doesn't allow the user the option of installing Windows software, or can standardize on document formats, Linux distributions (etc) are an easy choice today. That's how dogfood works. People eat what's in front of them.

Trying to sell Linux on the desktop without also being a fascist in this way, will only cause people to compare things to Windows. It's a recipe for complaints, in which case you might as well just feed them what they're really asking for.

That said, I agree with the author's point about rolling upgrades. If, for example, I'm working within a single package management framework (like APT or RPM, etc) exclusively, I should be able to upgrade, down-grade, side-grade, and any other grade imaginable. Reinstalls could and should be rare.

Ubuntu is 70 to 80% Debian packages, so why can't I "upgrade" (or downgrade) from Debian to Ubuntu, or from Mint to Debian (or any other package system to any other)?

I very much wish distribution projects 1) held onto a stronger sense of individuality while also 2) cooperating more to allow this level of interoperability. Simultaneous specialization and integration are not mutually exclusive: it's what modular software design is all about.
And what about UTF-8 letters (for example ā, ž, š)? How can you make them by using dotsies?

There's more to these things than meets the eye.

Where I live petrol stations make relatively little profit on fuel sales, the bulk of their profit comes from "also bought" items - milk, newspapers, ... , they're essentially high markup mini malls.

The two advantages to cheap cheap pizza are firstly in can get the crowds in and secure the sales of "also bought" items with better profit margins, further it leeches the crowd away from the competitor.

I was witness to a price war in geophysical surveying, over a decade in which fuel and manpower costs rose and inflation occurred the per line/km cost of flying aircraft with state of the instrumentation onboard dropped from $17 to $7 and effectively eliminating any profit in taking on million+ dollar survey jobs with risks.

Why the hell would the companies do that?

I would hazard a guess that the owners, being part of a much larger business that profited from resource extraction, weighed the benefits of having lead information on deposits potentially worth billions over the drawbacks of having losses of several tens of thousands.
