Note: Google is also an ISP in some areas. It's possible someone on a public Wifi near Google's campus has hacked you.

It's like you're saying that "Comcast employee spied at your gmail account," because the IP came from Comcast.

So, continue being very concerned, but maybe not at Google's expense.

Also, if you don't already use Google Two-Factor Authentication, now might be a great time to start.

Because refactoring has little link to innovation.

What about rapid prototyping? Perhaps the biggest strength of the lighter, more dynamic languages is that they require much less work to play around with ideas in the early days. On the other hand, if you can’t then tidy up the code that sticks, to make it into something that is more systematic and maintainable over the long term, you’re either going to waste effort rewriting it or you’re going to take on ever-increasing levels of technical debt, and either way your progress will be slower.

1e100.net is a Google-owned domain name used to identify the servers in our network.

Following standard industry practice, we make sure each IP address has a corresponding hostname.
In October 2009, we started using a single domain name to identify our servers across all Google
products, rather than use different product domains such as youtube.com, blogger.com, and
google.com. We did this for two reasons: first, to keep things simpler, and second, to
proactively improve security by protecting against potential threats such as cross-site
scripting attacks.

Most typical Internet users will never see 1e100.net, but we picked a Googley name for it just
in case (1e100 is scientific notation for 1 googol)

it's their servers, not their workstations. could be a plugin, maybe something on app-engine? at least an access from 1e100.net isn't a proof of anything.
I can put in my exp. with Hetzner. We had a RAM that was failing and got replaced once they ran the check. We did have a backup server to take up the load, in the mean-time so wasn't a problem.
Could you change the title to be more relevant? The TechCrunch article was over a year ago, and the title as it stands (My startup was featured on TechCrunch) is a little misleading (I expected to read about a startup that was recently featured on TC).

Re-reading books (along with re-watching movies) is sensible when you have infinite time available. When young, you don't grok the concept of a finite lifespan. When you realize life is finite, you stop re-reading and start getting on with reading what you can in what time you have left.
There has been a strange trajectory of print and online media. You had print businesses that dominated the news market (now suffering). Suddenly the Internet came around and people's main source of news was via the web (now booming). Large print and online establishments do not personalized and local content.

People now want quality and relevant content. Therefore local print newspapers may be a lucrative place to be. Utilise the benefits of online, with the relevant content of local. Build a community.

>Or, when I close all the windows for a given program (usually there is just one), the program stays open until I navigate through the menu to explicitly quit. I understand this is a design decision, but it just seems counter-intuitive, as does much else with this computer. Things like this annoy me all day long.

As you say, it's a design decision. You probably come from Windows -- their way is just as arbitrary, if not more.

One reason is to have it be explicit vs implicit (closing a Window just means "I want to close this Window", it should not mean "I want this application to quit").

Another reason is consistency: with apps with multiple windows, the close=quit behavior is only desirable for the last one. So the behavior would be inconsistent depending on the number of open windows for that app (some of which might even be minimized and hence invisible).

Finally, with Lion, you are not supposed to care if an app is open or not. Actually, it might even seem closed but still be loaded. This is because the OS is working behind the scenes loading and closing applications and will, to optimize responsiveness, loading time and memory use.
But it's primarily a complaint that there's no built-in service
to upload said mixed-media to, for sharing.

I can think of several off the top of my head, Flickr being the best of them. To your parent comment's point, with an Android phone sharing those is just as "built-in" as the apps that shipped with the phone. It's right in the "share" menu with everything else.

So what the article is looking for isn't even strictly a mobile
UI solution so much as a web service with effectively-
unlimited storage, mixed-media support and some
unspecified privacy/security options.

TFA has a list of what he hopes to see from Apple in 2012. If you replace "iPhone" with "Galaxy Nexus" in the list, all but the very last item are solved, and that's just one more manual step away. And this works for any media-hosting service you want to use, not just the one that Apple blesses.

Agreed. Why is the development community (this conference in specific) being held responsible for the acts of an individual who happens to reside within? This is clearly something that should be taken care like an adult of outside of a private community. The story is a bummer, but the author's response to the situation is quite childish and this blog post seems somewhat irrelevant.

Sadly memory and recall are not my strong point. In fact I am surprised I even remember anything when I see how quickly it takes to forget things. How much of Hacker News do you remember?

The old adage of you remember 60% of what you read on day 1, 30% day 2 and 5% day 5. Within a day you are already suffering a painful decay rate.

Therefore any method to remember something (rather than nothing) is of importance.

Let me explain to you the two large projects that I'm currently working on that are both using Require.js (it's hard to explain one without the other):

The first is basically a web framework that lets you compose a fully working website from a whole slew of independent, pre-built, unique components. Each component is made of Require.js modules (like its own HTML, CSS, JS). This isn't exactly the largest project, but Require.js really comes in handy with its ability to conditionally load modules (or components, in this context.) because you simply won't use all the components in the system, and also its ability to treat pure text file as regular modules (for HTML and CSS part of the components).

The second is a visual drag-and-drop web builder that lets you visually build a working end product of the first project that I mentioned. This is a large project simply because there's usually quite a lot of that you have to do in order to make a completely visual system work. I simply can't imagine building this system without explicit module dependency that require.js enables.
I don't know if "designed by committee" is fair. Plus, a big problem with committee design has been people trying to avoid costing themselves anymore than absolutely necessary no matter what that meant for everyone else (e.g. Common Lisp).

Ask HN: Textbooks or books dealing with the minutiae of startups?
Hi,

If you search HN, there are dozens of threads recommending "books for startups" which generally are the books like Hackers for Painters or Rework and so on. I've been asked a couple times by friends and I'm curious myself, is there a canonical textbook on the details of startups?

Rather than, say, reading about listening to customers and how to rapidly iterate, I'm looking for books on incorporation vocabulary, what the splits of stock look like for the typical team of 2, 3, or 4. Definitions of Series A, preferred stock etc. Obviously Wikipedia is a source, but surely there is a widely used book or textbook out that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations,

Because it was my first thought when I've saw the unusual login alert.

I personally don't see many bootloader attacks these days. Consider that SecureBoot only protects from attacks like this, after bootstraping it is upto the OS to ensure security. So purely from this, I don't think the tradeoffs are worth it. Once you have infastructure like this, it isn't hard for it to be misused (even with good intentions).
I don't worry too much about someone trying to know the name of my first pet (I'm pretty sure anyone who knows what my answer would be to this question is dead). I do worry that there are a bunch of other organizations that I have told that information. If someone hacks one of those they can get access to my other accounts.

One of the worst sites I saw demanded that I select my security question from a list. Sweet gosh, I have absolutely no idea which of your brain-addled security choices I selected.
Incredibly skeptical. As an e-mail administrator going on 10 years, I'd be very surprised if Google needed to use a typical login process to review your mail. It makes no sense whatsoever.
moreover, at 8 characters, it doesn't really matter what password they choose; 8 characters is simply too short to matter. Even 9 or 10 is a significant improvement at this level.

My family has twenty-six bookcases. Some books read, some not. We're going thru the agony of culling books for space reasons (and not making much progress). One strategy is: I intend to fill the largest bookcase with those which formed me; I may or may not remember (per se) the contents, but I do know that I am who I am in great degree because of those books. The hope is they act as a reminder of who I am (when I lose sight of that), encourage me to review & expand those parts, and make a physical manifestation of those formative tomes available to my children that someday they may follow a similar path (or at least know the path that lead to them). Culling "me" to fit that space is hard...
Inside a black hole, one dimension of space and time are transposed; this is one explanation of why you can't get out, because doing so would require going backwards in time, since the radial spatial dimension as seen from outside the black hole has been transposed with time inside the black hole. You wouldn't actually see a singularity that you're falling towards, rather the singularity exists in your future, with all matter that ever falls into the black hole collapsing together. So I would suppose that, in the timeline inside the black hole, the initial universe-creating singularity already contains all matter that ever falls into the black hole in the parent universe.
The number one requirement for my tablet computer is that it does not get warm.

It is often in my lap, sometimes touching the part of my body that produces testosterone and that seemed maybe not to, uh, work as reliably back when I used to rest a full-powered notebook computer against it for protracted lengths of time.

(I have never noticed any part of my iPad 2 to be warmer than body temperature. According to at least one blogger, iPad 3 is definitely a different story.)

You read fiction because you enjoy it. That's separate from having imagination.

This is fantastic advice. I have had lunches like this numerous times. They have been overall a very successful strategy. Sure, you will have a very small percentage that don't really provide insight...but that is well worth the cost. It is often important to preface the invitation with an assurance that you aren't going to try and sell them anything.
Having done my time in "two tier" stacks, I would argue the biggest disadvantage they bring is challenges with testing. This could be unit, integration, or just manual acceptance testing.

Having to spin up a separate environment or mock EVERYTHING leads to testing friction which in turn leads to testing simply not being done. If you stop testing, it's hard to maintain a consistent level of quality with your software, especially as it grows and you bring on new developers.

That being said, I appreciate the turn-key ease of use with services like Parse. If they solve the local development/multi environment issue for testing, I'd be more apt to use something like it and avoid the administrative headache of maintaining a backend infrastructure.
Or you have an omni antennea for local users and one of these as the backbone link to one of few core routers linked to a decent ISP connection

In some respects, laptops are the same as tablets. They serve a purpose, the hardware configuration is controlled by a single entity and they are relatively closed. Yet, you think they are different. The answer is that laptops have always been like they have, and tablets have generally always been in a closed state. There is nothing really 'unique' about a tablet that doesn't make it a general computing device, it just has a different input system.

Now personally I love general purpose hardware, because purposes change, and the software on the device should be able to change with it. I don't think a laptop would be viable for me unless I could change the software. You might bring up phones, but there is a reason for that. They used to be embedded systems, designed for a single purpose (and usable only for that purpose). These days they are general purpose devices that also make phone calls (even if this single purpose drives many design decisions).

I've also done crazy things like install an alternate firmware on my router, why, because it gave me more features. This is why I like general purpose devices, and my freedom to change their software to suit my the specific purposes I want. Tablets aren't fundamentally different from a computer, they just have a different skin.

I don't let my HDDs sleep for this very reason (my main drive is indeed SSD).

That latency would be far worse than any delays from paging.
