1. Your social games argument is really weak. People may play some social games with random people, but they mostly like, comment, have common friends, appear in photos together, go to weddings with real friends.

2. Your second argument is contradictory to your observation that Like buttons across the web are mainly cookie carriers.

And as far as lying is concerned, people don't just lie virtually with Like buttons and comments. They also lie by spending real dollars. Even if you know squat about F1 racing, buying that red Ferrari jacket is a pretty good social signal to send to your equally clueless peers.

I'd be really surprised if Facebook is not working on a mobile OS or browser. They will probably also make a big direct play in ecommerce (see Karma purchase).

Predicting failure for Facebook purely based on its desktop web app ads seems shortsighted and naive.
>and they trusted him enough to do design circuit boards so IMO he was probably a competent electrical engineer.

>However, he did use Wozniak who was ridiculously good at circuit design so he could focus on other things.

You contradicted yourself there...Woz was the competent EE, not Jobs.
This whole entrepreneur preparation thing feels so pre-meditated it's kinda cheesy. "Be great, read this", no man just do your job you already know what to do.
> The main purpose of that "Like" button is (IMHO) as a tracking cookie. Visit any Like-enabled site and you see a small piece of content from Facebook that tells Facebook all the sites you visit. It's a tracking cookie like any other and personally I have no problem with that. Just make no mistake why the Like button exists.

Yeah, probably; still, please remember that it would be the same what ("IMHO") Google Analytics (since ~2005?) + Google AdWords (since ~2000? ah, yes, and this actually makes money as well) do for Google. (Plus a few others, like Customized Search and the "recent Google +1 widget".) Personally, I'm amazed every time I look at my NoScript list and see that on ~99% of the Web google-analytics.com is watching your every click.
What should GoDaddy be doing instead? If they want the safe harbor protection from the DMCA so that they're not liable for the infringement, they are required to remove the content. There need be no direct mapping between the website URL reported in the complaint and any specific file they can identify on a server's file system; it might be dynamically generated, served by a CMS doing URL rewriting, coming from a database, etc.

So their choices are:

1) Invade your privacy, directly access your private source code and databases, and deduce how to remove the content, potentially destroying your data in the process over what might be a false claim... all of which is completely non-scalable to the millions of customers they have.

2) Edit their web server configuration to not serve that URL, and reboot the service, hundreds of times a day while this server is handling requests for thousands of websites.

3) Click the suspend site button and your site goes back online as fast as you can remove the infringing work, or file a counter-notice.

I'm amused when intelligent people like Doc don't even show enough curiosity to hack Facebook ads to their own advantage. I hate ads with a vengeance, but I like using Facebook. And just like Doc, I kept seeing stupid irrelevant ads.

So I decided to fix it. I started liking Facebook pages of things I really like - Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, Sphero, Android. And lo and behold, I've started seeing ads which I actually like and even click on.

Facebook critics offer a strange bipolar argument - on the one hand, they say Facebook ads are so badly targeted even with the wealth of personal info they have. On the other hand, they question the valuation. Where's so much growth going to come from? Better ad targeting is definitely part of the answer, but more importantly, I think Facebook will come out with some killer new products in mobile and ecommerce.

I would argue that VRM already exists to some extent. When I want to buy something, I Google it. You can instantly comparison shop and add items to a shopping list to keep an eye on the price over time. You might not directly negotiate with vendor's, but I am not sure most people really want to or need to, including HN'ers.
I'm no expert but I think the owner of the site in question can file a counter-notice and then GoDaddy has to put the site back up.
In my opinion, the present valuation is probably too high. That said, Facebook could still do incredibly well.

Facebook now has lots of money, plenty of bright people and a recognisable brand. You need money to make money in many fields and Facebook has a lot of money. They could swing out of being just about advertising and into other markets. It isn't far-fetched, Google are already making driverless cars and power stations.
They certainly do look for keywords in statuses (though I don't know if they use them for advertising). At one point they grouped statuses by subject ("Alice and Bob both mentioned Christmas"), and it suggests groups/pages based on your statuses (I mentioned reading something in French in a status, and it suggested I liked "French language").

All of this reading is great, and I mean it. I've read a lot of it. But one thing bothers me: the time spent reading is precious if you're an entrepreneur. It should not take over your work, so basically you read on your free time.
I personally think it is important to pull the plug sometimes. That's why I try to read less startup stuff, and let my mind wander with novels.
Read literature, that's where the inspiration comes from.

Stretch Marks
Stretch marks can come available everywhere for dermis that has been stiffed. These people ordinarily come about on regions of your skin layer where by extra fat is stocked, just like the abdomen, bosoms, lower limbs along with bum.

If you have a secured channel to the server (e.g. SSL), then you can just trust the server to encrypt on that end.

It doesn't matter if you are running server-trusted JS crypto in your browser, or server-encrypted data. Either way, the server is dictating the code/algorithms in use, and could backdoor/subvert the encryption.
For me, it's because it's a Mac app.

I've paid for Sublime Text and it does the job (and is my preferred editor on Linux), but, for me at least, it doesn't "fit" on a Mac as well as Coda. And I can't really tell you why that is.
Stretch Marks Removal 
There are many reasons behind stretch marks but the results are always irritating and there are different stretch marks removal methods to help them cure. Nobody likes to have stretch marks on their body but the removal methods are great as they help you to make sure that your marks fade away and you get your natural skin back. There are different types of stretch marks and some of them are light when some are dark. Different removal methods are right for different kinds of stretch marks.

> But they admit that if you can secure the transmission of the entire contents of the page (HTML, JS, everything), then your JS crypto should be OK

Nope. The server operator can still serve you (perfectly secured over an SSL channel) backdoored javascript crypto code.
I disagree, older content can be much better, particualrly on somewhere like reddit where there has recently been a hge influx of users diluting the current content, the older threads such as those on askreddit were of a higher quality and had much better discussions.
Honestly, it's just not the same. I know Mozilla agrees, because my friend is in charge of bringing out a better "App store" for Firefox. It's not enough to appeal to the developer crowd, who's willing to search hard for what they want - you have to do the Apple and Chrome thing, and appeal to people who are not technophiles, and just want a browser with cool tools.
It's also only as secure as his javascript that you are downloading (from his server) to encrypt the message with.

When Cloudflare has a high-profile client, they'll often blog about it. It's a smart marketing technique, because they lift on the publicity around the client.

It is and it was mentioned in the article we're discussing.

"Facebook, for example, would remove the image in a matter of hours."
I'm the author of this post, it was a joke. I said "For those who have no idea what they're doing 90% of the time when they are in bash" very sarcastically, but obviously this wasn't conveyed very well, sorry.

edit:
I know the defense "it was a joke" is very overplayed, but really, somewhere in between the graphs with rainbows and explosions, this post was intended to be humourous. :)
Today, SpaceX is just testing/demonstrating to NASA that the Dragon capsule is, in fact, capable of performing the precise navigation required to dock with the ISS. So the diagram they keep showing on NASA TV is the scheduled "test track" which will take the capsule around the space station. Additional and more precise maneuvers will be tested tomorrow before the docking takes place.

Due to the vaccuum of space, firing the rocket engines (a "burn") is required for any change in direction (the effects of gravity nonwithstanding). The burns we are looking at right now are to move the Dragon capsule closer to the ISS in the vertical dimension: First one burn to accellerate it upwards towards the ISS, and then a second burn to level it off and stop moving upwards. It will still have its _horizontal_ velocity relative to the space station after the second burn.
A counter notice would imply some kind of dispute, in which case the matter is definitely not resolved, possibly headed for the courtroom.

It does seem rather heavy for Godaddy to disable the entire site, instead of just the infringing content.

Out of interest, what's the difference? The chrome store looks a bit nicer (although it's a pain to navigate IMO) - but I don't really see much difference in terms of functionality. The search is just as good on the Firefox store.

Why is it trying to submit to Reddit?

Why do I have to enter a title, why not just a url?
Right on, is there a platform for this yet?

Perhaps fbook can pivot to this... since it'd be tough without a big user base first.

This only works for non demand-creating advertising of course.

Well it seems that Google seemed to care enough to change it:

Kudos to Google for fixing this.
Did you even read the entire article? The link you posted is fair use images, and 100% original writing content. It has nothing todo with what he is complaining about.
Yahoo were the ones doing the disclosure of the secret (the private key) when they uploaded it to the web.

Please stop parroting "responsible disclosure" like a white knight, and engage your brain.
While I agree with your point, a part of me can't help but wonder about the possibilities that would open up if we had the capacity to extract enough semantic information from a photo:

If I'm looking at my old holiday snaps and reliving the good times I had, I might be tempted by an ad for cheap flights to a similar destination.

If I'm looking at recent photos of my relatives' adorable children, I might be tempted by an ad for children's toys to send them.

If I'm looking at a friend's photos from an event they attended and enjoyed, I might be tempted by an ad selling tickets to that or similar event.

If I'm looking at a photo of myself from a time when I was in better physical shape, I might be tempted by an ad for a gym membership.

etc...

I doubt Facebook will ever be able to get to a point where they can make predictions as accurate at that, but given the trove of personal data and image analysis algorithms they have, if anyone could do it, it'd be them.
The NASA's decision to support SpaceX with money and expertise is a step in the right direction.

NASA (and Roscosmos) should delegate to private companies all of the operations in LEO. They should focus their efforts on sending humans deeper into space.

I want to see a day when docking at the ISS is considered a boring affair.
Perhaps its integration within the browser, or marketing - I'm not sure. But again, it's not a matter of assessing each feature and comparing the two, because that's what developers do. It's a matter of appealling to the non-developer community using the internet (much larger than the developer community, unfortunately).
Wow thats the first time I've ever seen Ibn Rushd mentioned on HN, may I also suggest people read Ghazalis "The incoherence of the philosophers" which Ibn Rushds book as actually a response too. Both are eye opening.
No, they are not, at least not according to major reporters of such stats. What measure are you pointing to in order to indicate they are a top 1k site?

Where is the signature from this key used? I don't see any signatures or certificates in the crx archive (just the key), and I'm curious as to the trust path here - or is this an internal-to-Google's-extension-site key?
I installed the Chrome extension (direct link to original Chrome extension, probably not a good idea to install it) with the idea of checking out the source code.

You don't need to install chrome extensions to look at their source, you can use this extension to view it before installing:

(ok, you have to install that extension before you can look at it's source :)

If people have access to Facebook 24/7, in their pockets, they are more likely to become dependent on it in their daily lives.

The mobile app fuels the addiction which keeps people logged in and coming back every day on their browser.
Handy tool. It would be nice if it could show side-by-side diffs of the output coming from different GCC versions.
Here we go.

There’s just no real barometer – it’s not like being a Doctor or a Lawyer where you can check the applicant’s college, GPA, and Bar Score (is that a thing?) and know the person is proficient.

If you're hiring technical staff and you clearly understand what you need these people to do on a daily basis and why you need them to do it then there is absolutely no excuse for not having even a basic set of minimum technical criteria.

If you don't clearly understand what you need them to do on a day to day basis then I think you may need to re-assess why you need them, or it's possible that someone else in the business should be handling the first stage of this hiring process.

Now to your 6 key points

1. Don't send a resume - That's a huge statement and your supporting points are severely lacking in elaboration. listing all the different languages you know is really only interesting to you and your peers Refer to my first point above.

2. Keep an updated blog - Sure. I can see this. What about the fantastic developers who don't have sufficient time to blog? Some of the best developers I know have a blog, most of the best developers I know don't.

3. Link to your previous work - Comfortably the best piece of advice in the entire article and I can't support this advice enough. I was recently looking for an iOS developer and the amount of CV's I received from people claiming to have amazing apps published in the app store yet no links to said app was just baffling.

4. If you’re not from the US (or the country you are applying for a job in), let me know what that means - Sorry but if you're my employer, the onus is upon you to be familiar with international hiring policies.

5. Show you’re interested in the product, and the process - if you could show that you’re interested in the business and aren’t going to leave when the next startup comes calling, that’s great That's one of the many reasons to interview someone. It's an opportunity to find out how much they truly know about you and your company. If you think you can derive this from an initial application, then again, I feel you are misguided.

6. Have a good answer for why you’re leaving your current job - This won’t be in the initial email, but is important, so I had to include it This should be in the initial email. This is always one of the first questions I ask prior to interviewing someone. If they tell me the reason they want out is because they are bored, then the obvious next question is 'why do you find it boring'.

This article should be titled How to make life easier for a non-technical hiring manager as I can almost guarantee your approach will contradict the thought process of most decision makers within the tech start-up community as opposed to getting a job offer from 'every company they apply to'.

Sorry to be so scathing as there are some useful pieces of info in your article however the title angered me.
