The biggest challenge I see for amazon to come is, besides competition and makets and all that their ability to handle their whole supply chain. Amazon already proved that in terms of warehousing and distribution they are really ggod. but if there is one thing that comes with an ever increasing number of arehouses, especially if you want same-day delivery, is a ever increasing inventory level, in both number of items and value.

So from the outside one cornerstone of a strategy like this would be inventory management at at least regional if not even warehouse level. It's do-able, no question, but difficult. An advantage amazon has here is a huge history of point-of-sales data for most important regions they are operating in, no matter if there actualy is a amzon warehouse or not. And if they don't have (enough) point of sales data, well then it's to early to offer same-day service and all that.

All amazon has to do now is to keep operations up to the task... :-)
My opinion is that this may not be the end of local retail. I would still prefer to shop at my local grocers and farmers market on the weekend. Sometimes shopping is more than just shopping, its also an outing with family.

Workplaces should be an easy place to get same day delivery. At a large office you probably have 100+ Amazon orders each day that conveniently get delivered by the company's staff. Amazon could have their own truck just drive straight to the office building without getting UPS involved at all.
Google's own top 10 searches are usually populated with music stars. Taking just last years Zeitgeist we have Rebecca Black and Adele in 1st and 7th place respectively.

Sure it could be people hunting for nude pics and news, but given it's Rebecca Black and Adele, it might be safe to say that it's people looking for their music/music videos.

In short, music is a big deal and if a user is hunting for music they're not going to be loyal to any particular site.
The problem is you're much less likely to engage with or take notice of a five minute ad at the beginning of a show, you'll get up and make a cup of tea or browse HN in the background while you wait. There's also not much an advertiser can say in five minutes that they can't say in 30 seconds.
One of the biggest wins for sites is that we reduce account creation / sign in friction for your users, so you get an awesome, easy flow through your funnel without having to give up ownership of your user data.

We also let you reach many, many more people, since you're not forcing users into joining an anointed social network. Everyone has an email address, and people understand what it means to reveal it.

Also, there's no lock-in, because we're not giving you an opaque, one-way identifier for your users. Instead, you always get a verified email address. Want to switch away from Persona? Add a 'password' column to your database and send a few emails.

Edit: I should also note that we're really, really easy to implement. Like, roll-your-own-integration in less than 3 hours with zero previous experience easy. I want to see us become the de facto auth solution for weekend projects, but we're also a really nice option to put alongside your social login. If you're already offering Twitter and Facebook, why not provide a vendor-neutral option, too?
Almost any software you install could potentially be doing that.
Your summary is just brilliantly spot on and I wished I could mod you up more than the article.
OK, we so need one of these in Cape Town!!!

That place really does look awesome. And space for hardware hacking too, great. I live in an apartment nowadays and really miss going out to the 'barn' and working with power tools until 3AM, seriously.

Looks pretty busy too...

Good luck.
On building a culture of learning…
VEVO is a highly viewed channel - hence probabilistically their videos are going to be viewed more often and use more bandwith.

Hence, YouTube caches them more heavily (and distributes them closer to viewers) as a result to probabilistically reduce video latency and cost of hosting.

Same with any highly viewed channel - they all load faster than say something new with ~1000 views which hits a foreign data centre hard disk instead of a localised CDN server's RAM.
They did, and their influence will still be there. If this really did come from a Yahoo service it was likely some sort of co-branded partner. All core Yahoo apps authenticate against a central service with no hint of any sort of plain text credentials stored anywhere.
'r' and 'h' are very close, and some sources have 'h' as more common.
It would - the artists would either start their own channels or others would fill the void (YouTube has insane numbers of uploads a day). Artists care more for exposure (and converting views to sales) than they care about VEVO.

VEVO's hold is tenuous - they are no stronger than Freddie Wong/Corridor Digital/Smosh - they all rely on YouTube more than YouTube relies on them for traffic flow (nowadays anyway) - there's always someone there ready to fill audience needs if they went off YouTube.

Temporary web hosting for HTML5 sites
I've been looking for an easy way to quickly host simple HTML prototypes. I know that plenty of people are using Dropbox for this but I wanted a cleaner, more elegant solution where I didn't have to manage another folder and also have shorter URLs to share. So I created QwkBit. (http://qwkbit.com/preview). Basically, you zip up your HTML folder and drop it on the page - and voila! A short URL for sharing and the link expires in 24 hours so I don't have to think about deleting files after a client sees it.

I'm looking for feedback from the HN community. Is this something you would use? What features would you like to see?

Thank you.
Can't forget that this 'dream team' also failed to catch the fact that they released their private signing key with the Axis chrome extension.

Renault Duster – Game is On (Expert Review)
Oomph has a new name, its Renault Duster. There are so many things that one would like to do at once but lack of factors deny them all. Thank god that’s not the case with SUVs, especially with the unleashing of Duster. It has the comfort of a sedan, compactness of a hatch and power of a crossover; everything you needed in your ideal car.

I would like to see what a heatmap generated from a "real" typing session would look like (with a keylogger). You could see the influence of the editor as well.

Since these are generated offline, the keyboard heatmaps are meaningless and the representation is slightly misleading IMO.
1. Clean up the code as much as you can and document everything if you haven't already.

2. Explain your feelings and situation to the team, help them understand. Tell them you did the above and help them try to hire someone new.

3. Irregardless, leave if you are unhappy. No point in suffering longer if you're not happy. While doing the above 2, look for a replacement job.
Yeah, each their own :)

OK one feature you should add and will make this stand out even more.

Two phase commit.

Admin enters commands, another had to enter same commands on another console and only then are they executed or passed to a third admin to approve actioning.

No more rm -f in root or other slip ups. No more silly mistakes. Added accountability and in that added security.

You would also get x10 the amount of backing from alot of institutions alone for that feature and even if you don't have it now, factor it in down the line as the quality of admins has gone down hill over the years and in that more mistakes get made. This will reduce that and the impact as well as protecting jobs as well as the machines from human shortcommings.

Logging aspect you have outlinesd is good. Get it robust by design and cater for remote logging servers and with all that you could go far.

Good luck
They are usually very accommodating to different dietary restrictions. And the food is usually very delicious (SF has some amazing restaurants!) But restaurant food just tastes...heavy?

> My understanding of Browser ID is that it's a way to provide an email address to a site operator that doesn't need to be confirmed. It's a single-step subscribe/account creation, rather than an authentication per se.

That's mostly right. The BrowserID protocol gives you a way to say to a site "Hi, I'm someone@mockmyid.com, and here's the proof." That proof is, in part, a certificate that has been cryptographically signed by the user's email provider.

Now, to verify that, instead of asking the user for a password, or emailing them a confirmation link, you just have to check the cryptographic signature on the certificate. So in this case, you'd go request mockmyid.com's public key at https://mockmyid.com/.well-known/browserid, verify the signature, and if it all checks out, you can let the user into your site!

As for being a "single-step subscribe/account creation", you're spot on. Since there aren't any per-site passwords anymore, there's no difference in the flow for a returning user and a brand new user, since they both say "Hi, I'm name@example.com, and here's the proof." If that user exists in your database, great! log em' in. If not? Yay! You have a new user. Ask them for any additional information you might need.

Shopify Brings Back Build-A-Business Competition (With a Twist)
Anyone know how different this is from e.g. powermat?

Powermat has no plugs either. By the "closest thing to magic" comments, I would guess uBeam can charge your phone while still in your pocket (whereas powermat and similar systems require ~2mm distance from the charger).

Which, if true, is kind of scary -- it means that a bug or bad estimation would target nontrivial energy to your groin (5W charges your average modern phone; that might not sound like a lot, but cellphones are limited to 0.6W so that they don't raise your brain or skin temperature too much, and most phones in most locations use less than 0.1W when talking, about 0.01W on average in standby. 5W is a lot)

How IVA helps define debt solutions
Wait, it relies on email address? (quickly reads up on it.) ... and it doesn't have user identifiers other than the email address? That is not reasonable: normal
people (as in, people who don't know much about what they are doing with computers) tend to have piles and piles of email addresses, none of which hold any canonical weight to them: they have email addresses from ISPs, from schools, from work, and they often have multiple email addresses from sevices like Gmail. If they lose track of one they just get another one (as email addresses aren't even important anyway), and they never remember which one they've used with any given site. I've even seen people purposely get a new email address every now and then as their way of dealing with spam and "people I don't want to talk to anymore". They don't think far ahead, so the notion that their email address from school will be retired a year after they graduate and given to someone else doesn't occur to them (and seemingly didn't occur to you either, as it undermines the argument that it is a reasonable way to do password resets): email addresses are about the worst possible (while still plausible) "unique" identifier you could have come up with. :( (And yes: this is coming from someone who has had a single canonical email address for over 15 years: I also run a popular website frequented by tens of millions of users, many of whom are non-technical customers, and I have had to realize that they are nothing like me.)
CNAME support kind of conflicts with "Not hosted by us, so when we go down...": When your DNS goes down (e.g. you are using your blog to inform your users about transferring webhosting from one provider to the other) your blog will also not be reachable.

For this it could be wise to have company-blog.com besides company.com.

I used to work on the login system for Yahoo! and find this to be not 100% true. Passwords were never stored in plaintext, even the log files went through a library that would mask any passwords or sensitive information if it was sent over HTTPS in plaintext.

I would still trust Yahoo! to not leak my password ala LinkedIn.
I suspect it's partially in American thing. In most European cities, the shops are around the corner. There's little effort involved, so Amazon doesn't sufficiently offset the advantages of instant gratification and being able to physically see stuff to make such a dramatic impact. Also, the different European attitude towards regulation has resulted in many cities actively protecting the kind of independent stores that make local shopping different from anonymous shopping malls full of the same franchises.

There are plenty of areas in which brick-and-mortar shops will take a hit from online competitors, but I suspect the impact in Europe will be considerably smaller than in the land of strip malls and Wal-Marts, where commercial efficiency has already trumped the "user experience", and Amazon is simply a better option with few disadvantages.
Ouch :(

Brand Engagement – How To Engage Relevant Fans
With Social Media, a new concept was emerged a few years back about ‘Fans’, the most relative explanation for this word was to enable consumers to communicate with brands directly. However, it seems like that this has not been accomplished as of yet.
OK, so what? I don't really understand this response. You're a perfect person. The height of physical fitness, nutrtious/organic eating habits, superior mental acuity, don't have any need for "The Man" or Big Box retailers, have ever seen a television, much less ever seen a "cable program," etc.

Whatever. But billion dollar retail industries are not built on great folks like you. They are built on probably what you'd consider the "Great Un-washed." :)

B-school 101 stuff. If we understand how the world really is, we can make more successful businesses because we will understand the market how customers think. We can't let our personal perfection cloud our judgement about the world as it is. :)

I tried the OpenPhoto example. One thing that introduces friction compared to username-password: The first time, I have to create a Persona account. Unfortunatelly, I'm not logged in afterwards.

Most sites nowadays log you in right after account creation and just wait for email-verification later. Is that even possible with Persona?
Yes, everyone who deals with the general public knows how unstressful and dignifying that is. That is, besides having to deal with blatant sexism[1], extreme ignorance[2], elderly genitalia[3], stealing[4], destruction of property[5], physical violence[6], bigotry[7], etc.

Though this is something helpful, I find Mozilla a little slower than google chrome.
There are a number of things that don't quite transfer like headers and footers, keeping blocks together and of course paper doesn't have scroll bars.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

At least in the case of password resets, it's the site deciding they want "email" to be the weakest link, and many sites will require at least a little bit more (like secret questions) after a reset. In this scheme, email is by definition the weakest link.

The secondaries can never go away, unless sites are willing to straight up refuse customers based on their email address. There is an extremely long tail of corporate email servers out there, and those corporate employees are our users. I guess we just gracefully degrade back to standard usernames and passwords?

So the certa expire AND the key-pair is ephemeral, so if the user doesn't stay logged into their email account, they are going to get login prompts every 6 hours. If you use multiple emails, that means constantly cycling through your various gmail accounts every time the certs expire.

I think you need to allow flushing the key pair manually or else you're saying there really is no way to "Log out" with this. Worse, a user will click 'Log out' on their site, but the cert is still active so anyone can walk up / pick up the device and log right back in. So what we've been taught "make sure you log out and then quit the browser" wouldn't actually apply anymore.

Last thing for the night... If a site falls victim to a XSS vulnerability, does this mean an attacker can call id.get() and steal a users assertion, send it to themselves, and login as a user of my site by replaying the assertion? This is like stepping back to IE5 where cookies couldn't be HttpOnly!
