"Hackers would have had a much harder time"? No: mhonan@gmail.com mhonan@me.com

Gmail was not really needed to guess the name at @me.com.

Moreover, in his case, it seems he would be better off not having the secondary e-mail address for recovery at Google. It turned out to be anti-security measure.
The most important part for me, as an employee, is what I do at work. More than how my company changes the world, I'm interested in what I'm asked to change in the company. And, rather than than a project like: "Here are the specs, when will it be done?", I prefer a lot: "Here is an idea, do you think it can be done?".

What happens when you stop paying the monthly fee? I suspect the people offering this service will want some assurance their customer base will not disappear after downloading every song ever made in the first month.
An obvious thing to improve is for Amazon to stop handing out customers' accounts to identity thieves who apparently just need to call with name, billing address and e-mail to add a new credit card number, then call again with name, billing address and the new credit card number to gain access to the account. I'm sorry Amazon, but name, billing address and e-mail shouldn't be sufficient to hand over my account to a stranger.

This would be much more effective than the "Verified by Visa" theatre. "Virtual credit cards" with a limit and maybe even vendor limited (for example, create a virtual card and add some sort of vendor id for Amazon)

Haven't heard much about fluent until now. It does seem to be a problem worth solving and 70,000 signups, does imply that it is a validated problem. Still coming out of the startups world, it feels eerie that a startup would shutdown within 6 months. Is this one more of those many cases, where the cofounders developed a solution for a valid problem, however failed to figure out how to monetize it?
The ROI of Test-Driven Development
About Google Now - does Google deserve any trust?
A good article.

Dropbox's onboarding is very good, but one thing I wonder is: has it always been that good? For example, what was the onboarding process like when Dropbox very first launched - was it terrible, average, or pretty much like this the whole time?

I guess the reason I'm interested is that we all have these really early stage discussions in our startups about how perfect to get the onboarding process before launch, and it would be cool to know the story about Dropbox for a reference.

(I used to run my own cloud based e-mail aggregator www.inbox2.com)

The primary problem with these services is that they have to pull content and have to do it regularly. That means going and checking your inbox every 2-5 minutes to be able to provide a descent experience. Your ISP e-mail provider (or gmail etc) sit there and wait for e-mail to be sent to them making it less processing intensive (push based systems).

There are some techniques such as imap IDLE to make this a bit more efficient but 1. not every e-mail provider supports that and 2. for ex. with gmail idle caps at about 35K connections per box.

You could also have for ex. gmail forward all email to a custom address but average users generally found this very confusing and couldn't get this going.

We calculated that it cost us about 2 euros per month to support a free user providing a 'good' user experience. Good luck making that back as paid service is also not a (scalable) option; the general consensus being: "email is supposed to be free" or "I am already paying for my gmail!".

No affiliation, just a very happy customer.
Perks which improve my productivity are things I care about (good computer, ability to get needed books and other resources, functional IT support, fast Internet connection, private office when/if desired, wfh when optimal, comfortable chair, easy commute/parking). For most of those things I'd trade $1 in salary for $0.50 or less allocated to them optimally. Not having to deal with admin stuff like expense or hour tracking is worth $5 in salary for $0.50 in benefit.

Free food, on site gym, nice offices, etc I'd trade at a discount to salary, like$1 in salary for $2-3 in perks.
Did you also file it with Google? Definitely a nasty bug in implementation.
I would say there are many that don't ( I was in this pool until very recently). This is especially true of selling to big companies. Hand holding, dealing with RFPs, getting through to the right person inside to support you and getting involved in internal politics are mind-bogglingly frustrating and often not built on logic or rationality so it often doesn't make any sense at all to hackers.

I really can't think of anything within the Olympic venue that would be considered appropriate to pay for with credit card.

What are your criteria for 'appropriate' when it comes to paying with credit card? On my way to work today I dropped by a news agent and bought an apple and something to drink, paid with my credit card, and no one thought that was the slightest bit strange.
Password recovery procedure idea
In relation to the recent hack of Mat Honan's accounts I was thinking about how the password reset procedures involved could be improved without adding too much complexity. Mind you this was no social engineering attack - as far as I can tell the service reps involved (both Amazon and Apple) sticked to company procedures. If the process had been automated (i.e. no humans involved), the end result would have been the same.

I was thinking alone the following lines:

* Upon account registration you submit one or (preferably) more e-mail address of close friends/relatives to the service provider you're registering with

* if you've lost your password, you click the password reset button. Then two things happen: a) a password recovery link is sent to you and b) a n-digit pin code is sent to your friend(s) e-mail addresses.

* the names and/or e-mail addresses of said friend(s) are never shown, so it will not be entirely clear to an attacker who to target next (based on social network data he may take a guess though).

* You click the password recovery link and get a form that asks you to enter the n-digit pin.

* You call one of your friends to retrieve the pin code and enter it (optionally different pins could be sent to different friends to aid forensics in case something goes wrong after all).

This scenario basically shifts the burden of verifying that you are actually you from some random service rep to one of your close friends. There's still a chance that (s)he gets social engineered, but quite probably (s)he has a far higher chance of getting it right than some service rep - besides plain voice recognition it's very hard to convincingly fake the minute details that make up a multi-year real life relationship of any kind. And because a close friend or relative cares for you (I hope ;-) they have a bit of incentive to get it right as well.
I discussed the answer to your first question here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4348537
That's absolutely true. I was horrified last week when I discovered my Gmail account (with a unique 30-character long password, 2-factor enabled, NEVER used unless on my MacBook at my house) had a "backup" email address to my Yahoo account from 8 years ago, with the nice password '1123581321'. I could've killed myself.
They colorized the wheels and sky, too, rather than separating them for more realism. I like mine better[0] ;), but a lot of people dislike that I used Earth's sky color instead of the more boring Martian reddish brown.

A nice play by play of the landing culled from the YouTube comments (attributed to "flyhighj65"):

0:15 - Obviously heat shield separation

~0:25 to 0:30 - Back shell separation and powered flight

0:31 to 0:38 - The rover banks to move towards the
upper left corner of the screen (camera looks opposite
direction of motion)

0:38 to 0:41 - The rover﻿ banks the opposite direction
and stops its horizontal motion to drop straight down

~0:47 - Skycrane maneuver begins

0:48 - Wheels deploy (top left corner of screen)

Touchdown is shortly after the video ends

Just as aside, it's amazing that people spend significant effort making intelligent remarks on YouTube (such as the above) only to see it get buried in a sea of inane comments. (It's already at 1,380 comments for this Mars video.)

In my opinion it's a mistake to come up with perks just so you can tell the right story. In his most recent book Clay Christensen describes what makes you love your job better than anything else I've read. He distinguishes between motivators and hygiene factors (mainly citing Frederick Herzberg's research): "Motivation factors include challenging work, recognition, responsibility, and personal growth. Motivation is much less about external prodding or stimulation, and much more about what’s inside of you and inside of your work." On the other hand he lists hygiene factors: "status, compensation, job security, work conditions, company policies, and supervisory practices." (from http://www.fastcompany.com/1836982/clayton-christensen-how-f... and his book). You can pile up perks as much as you want; they just serve as hygiene factors. As long as your motivators are not met, a high retention quote is wishful thinking. HR departments at bigger startups (and bigger perks) know that all too well.

At the end of the day you don't work for the big colorful slide at your office, or Whiskey Fridays, or your favorite 80's arcade video game. Cynically speaking, these are just there to make your long work days a bit sweeter.

So what's left for startups to retain their top employees? It's figuring out what truly motivates them. This takes a lot of hard work, empathy, and will. It's a long term investment. As such it might not pay off in the short term, but it might well give you in return the high retention rate you're looking for.

This isn't just geared towards larger companies with more predictable business models. It's good business no matter what size company you are. Even startups use these marketing techniques. And I'd argue that in a startup, everyone on the team is a product guy.

define your customer: use analytics to find out where your visitors are coming from. Is your audience just English speaking or should you internationalize your site? What income brackets is your web app designed to cater to? Lower end 99 cent app? Higher end quality software?

Gathering feedback: Startups can easily email their customers surveys and ask for feedback

Iterate: When you talk to your customers, ask them what they like and don't like about your app. Iterate based on their suggestions

Packaging: Landing page. Having good copy and a strong selling page. Simple sign up flow and an on-boarding plan to help them get started and using your app

Price points: Use surveys and the customer "persona" you defined above to break up your customers into different price brackets and sell them features based off what they want and what they can afford.
Definitely a bug in Mail.app, not 2FA. I had no problem with 2-way on IMAP on Lion, Mountain Lion, iOS 5 or iOS 6. But as I use Mail.app constantly I can assure you that it's desperately buggy.

Some call the thoroughfare the pride of Harlem. But for Karen Owes, the boulevard named after Adam Clayton Powell Jr. represents something far more sinister. Ms. Owes, a mother of four, lives above a bar on West 138th Street in a second-floor apartment that overlooks the busy six-lane road bisecting the heart of Harlem. From her vantage point, she sees a boulevard of pain. Some of them linger in her memory. A neighbor, Peter, was hit by a car and killed while riding his bicycle about two years ago. His newsstand has been closed ever since, an aching reminder. A car hit an 11-year-old girl from her church a few weeks ago. The girl now watches praise dances from a pew, her leg encased in a cast. Ms. Owes has taken conspicuous precautions. She dresses her 8-year-old twin girls and her teenage son in vivid yellows, oranges continue
While I do agree that the page design is nice I don't consider this a good presentation of the end product or an open source project. The first thing that you should show if you are selling the product—doesn't matter if it's to fellow open source developers or customers—is that it works. And the best way to show that is with a simple and short video.

It could be of course that the presentation is not yet finished completely. Nevertheless, the idea is really nice and I would love to see the project take off.

Two factor limits the time window within which a password is useful. If one of your complex password's hashes gets exposed, someone would need to also know your ssl-only two factor auth cookie, and then reverse/bruteforce your password within the 30 day window the cookie makes it valid for - that makes the "current model" of releasing the hashes on pastebin and crowdsourcing the hash-cracking much more time critical.

Me too. It seems to me that since ASP allows me POP/IMAP access to a gmail account, it probably gives me enough access to run the "send a password reset" attack. I can't use that to 0wn the two-factor protected google account, but I can easily use it to 0wn the AppleID/Anazon/eBay/PayPal account using the gmail account for the recovery address…

Off the top of my head, I don't even know if it's possible to ensure my iPhone or GalaxySII is using SSL/TLS for it's POP/IMAP connections (or if an attacker with brief access to my device could switch it to plain-text-passwords then sniff it's authentication on the local wifi).

This is an awesome series of lectures. They were my regular evening listening for a time. Note some of the earlier lectures don't have sound. That makes them a bit hard to follow. :-) Also, the later lectures were missing last time I looked.
Thanks for answering. I would still personally prefer to see some unit tests checking each function behaves as expected, this is not so much to prove that the thing works now but make sure it can be changed safely over the next few years so I can pull down the latest version with confidence.

e.g. getBackendFromHostHeader inside worker.js does a lot of things, if I were the author I would have it wrapped up in unit tests.
Two-factor authentication is as secure as you make it.

If you value security more than convenience don't use application specific passwords. Google certainly allows for that by only consuming their services through a secure web interface. Is there another mainstream e-mail provider who supports that?

However, if you would like to use apps, gtalk, pidgin, etc. Google will still let you and it will still be more secure than before (revoke specific passwords, etc.).

If one of your application specific passwords (ASPs) is compromised your e-mail content will be compromised but NOT your account as long as your phone / token generator are under your control, allowing you to recover access by your own means. That is a big difference.
FYI, it's sped up because they only take 4-5 frame per seconds. The heat shield separation is at +278s (278 seconds after atmospheric entry) and the touchdown is at +416s. That's a difference of 138 seconds, which in the video takes about 38 sec (0:15 - 0:53), so the play-back speed up is about a factor of 3.6.
