It's amazing: a website will make me choose an 8-character (but not more than 14!) password with a number, a symbol, and at least one capital and one lowercase letter, but then it will let anyone who knows my birthday and favorite color change that password to whatever they like.

The most common implementation is to require to reset a password via a link sent in the email (and only then you answer security questions), which solves the particular problem you describe.
Why connection and read timeouts are important?
I've worked on a lot of these projects. The best you can do is a gratis quick audit (I found SQL injections in these files, XSS in these files, and you really need to stop storing passwords in plaintext). I'd consider it gratis because being a consultant is one part programmer and ten parts professionalism.

Given the fact you are from Singapore makes it very easy for you.

See, many of those American investors you are hving in nind (VC's, Angles, etc.) are holding tones of money in Singapore for tax engineering reasons (or even better, white hacking the IRA).

Hence, there are plenty of Singaporean businessmen and women who manages this money for them and have great relationships with them.

Getting traction in Singapore shall be the only worry of yours, once you got that right, and local key people are aware of your success, offers will fly by.

Actually, that's not because of the ASCII, but because of the GSVPano.js demo that it's based on: http://www.clicktorelease.com/code/street/

Pick a location and compare it to the standard street view on google maps, and you'll notice a similar "more 3D" appearance.

The reason is that it's using three.js to map the panorama onto a spherical geometry. This is actually quite an old trick used to give a more immersive feel to panorama viewers dating at least back to the days of QTVR.

It looks very cool, but I must say I'm skeptical about their claims about the latency. Judging by the video, it's at least 200ms, perhaps as much as 500ms. Contrast this with John Carmack, who has recently talked about the importance of low latency for an immersive experience. And Carmack talks about the impact of just 1 or 2 frames of lag, which is the equivalent of 3 miliseconds!

You trace back the "provenance of that file" through crytographic signatures. You could make your own throwaway identity, use it to publish something, and through the continued propagation of that data through the network its publication would no longer require your activity.

It should be considered psuedoanonymous publishing.

When I was working for box.sk (so many years ago) a much younger Ankit submitted several articles to neworder.box.sk. Most of them were lifted verbatim from TCP IP Illustrated. He was exposed back then by our staff, but had a huge following of people who believed it really was his original material - people for whom it was easier to parse random internet articles than pick up a volume like TCP/IP Illustrated. The (now a) man has made a life for himself doing this kind of thing.

Going by the description, if you know a file's plaintext, you know both its plaintext hash (decryption key) and its encrypted hash (storage key). The communication to request files uses the storage key. It would be rather easy to identify by statistical means, people who request files of a common type, for example known CP images. Forwarding a few requests for CP or having it stored doesn't indicate anything. Reading or writing a lot of known CP would be probable cause for a search. This is especially easy because the majority of CP is not new and FBI presumably has the whole damn lot on a hard disk somewhere. They can easily pre-compute hashes and just sit monitoring.

As a result, this network would be useless for CP-mongers, they'd get caught about as easily as using plain old FTP.

On the other hand, I do think the ability to pre-compute hashes is a flaw that massively reduces this network's usefulness to dissidents. It is quite effective as a "publish a manifesto network" with a secret writer and overt readers - the original write is of a never-before-seen file, there is no hash to monitor. It's unsafe as a "store my pirated stuff" network, writers of a well known file can be tracked. And it would take very little statistical monitoring to reveal the interests of a reader.

You should be careful about claims made in Adam Curtis videos.
His cinematography is great and I love him because of the ADD-style and music he uses, but a lot of information is very biased and, in very many cases, just plain false (e.g. In one of his movies he calls Herbert Marcuse the leader of the student movement of the 60s and shows a short clip of him talking. The short clip is taken from an interview in which one finds, if watched integrally, Marcuse himself explaining why he is NOT an important figure in the movement).
So maybe one should see the movies as entertainment rather than documentaries.
Syntax looks very Ruby like.
When men tell women how to be "feminist" or what the individual women should be doing to better make women welcome in tech, it is a form of "mansplaining". It's like when your pointy-haired manager tells you which data structure you should use.
These are issues the feminist community elsewhere has dealt with in the past. Feminism is new to many techies; there are clearly some growing pains.

Lots of critique on the post itself (most of which I agree with), but as others have mentioned, Stocktwits has a real business - they sell compliance-friendly social network tools to public companies - apparently about 150 of them for $1500/month. That's about $2.7m in revenue if those numbers are correct. They also have PRO accounts for $500/month - no idea the number of accounts. Obviously the numbers could be bullshit, but I've seen a fair number of Fortune 500 companies (Shell Oil, etc) using their service.

It's been a while since I looked at their site/tools, but I thought built their own Twitter that runs alongside Twitter, although I'd be curious what percentage of posts end up on Stocktwits network vs. Twitter. If that is still the case, clearly they were concerned about being overly dependent on Twitter.

My point is just that the $ isn't the business - and honestly, I don't see why this does anything but make their lives actually easier. That's my main complaint - what does this change for Howard? Maybe it makes it easier for a competitor to build something similar, but what was really stopping them in any case? Couldn't a competitor have just adopted the same methodology?

Funny you should mention Bangalore Metro...

From what I know about Siemens in that particular project is that they are buying most of the pieces and then assembling it. As opposed to fabricating parts and putting it together.

Anyway - I have studied for a while in the west, and I've seen both systems.

AFter reading your comment, I don't think you know where precisely they are better than us. Or where privatization works or precisely how good certain government organizations are.

The engineers who get taken, the civil guys in something like ONGC, they make pretty good and help build great infrastructure.

The engineers keeping our grids alive, I've never once heard anyone call them uninformed or unaware.

I don't think this grid failure had anything to do with "giving it to Indians" that mentality died in the workplace in 1990. Our engineers who work here actually make a good grid and good systems. Heck it hasn't collapsed in a long long while.

I think the collapse has more to do with people drawing more due to subsidies and political sops than anything else. And thats not something privatization is going to fix directly.

Matter of fact, so far Govt contracts have been the more exacting contracts from what I have come across, and the private ones except for the MNCs have been the more lax.

Further - from what I can see, the government contracts for a lot of these things are open and if you are in the country, you can bid for it. (Be you Siemens or Kirloskar)
And those contracts? like the BGLR Metro order? Thats vetted and checked against by govt engineers.

The way the contracts are being set up in many places, end up favoring large firms. And AFAIK MNCs aren't paying bribes.

So we already have privatization with regulations and accountability to an extent.

You could say we need more and I won't disagree. We are moving towards that.

------------

Unsaid when discussing "privatization" is that it's tough to work in India. Competition is harsh and margins razor thin. I know that some companies would rather sell in other places than this market for better profits with less effort.

What I want to say is that you are painting a dark picture, but having more first hand knowledge at the moment, the picture is a lot more grey, and lighting up.

The problem is this isn't a novel idea. Replacing a fast webserver with somebody else's fast webserver is half of the reason most people choose CDN's (the other reason usually being bandwidth). Just using someone else's fast webserver does not obsolete a different fast webserver.

It's totally acceptable that you might not have the infrastructure to serve all of your static content from your measely web servers and 100mbit connection. CDNs are a great choice here. But this has nothing to do with what web server you use, nor does it mean you should process every request dynamically just because right now you have the resources for it using a CDN.

Even with a CDN and an extremely efficient static content layer, you still have to hand out dynamic content to your users individually which a CDN generally will not help with. At a high enough number of requests you will run out of resources (RAM, CPU, Disk, Network, etc). At this point it's handy to have the fastest things you can so scaling doesn't become one huge clusterfuck. Then whoever re-implements Nginx to help handle requests will write a blog post about how Nginx makes CDNs obsolete.

My point before (and now) is: Caching matters, and having a fast frontend web server matters, and CDNs matter, and none of this is directly related: we're talking apples and oranges.

As an aside, CloudFlare seems to use a novel little fast web server:

psypete@pinhead ~/ :) wget -S -O /dev/null http://4chan.org/ 2>&1 | grep -e "^[[:space:]]\+Server:"
Server: cloudflare-nginx
Server: cloudflare-nginx
The bot masters then just have to figure out roughly what your activity/ad clicks rate is. They can do this over time by looking at statistics.

Then they make some bundled crapware browser plugin that gets installed by legit facebook users that will click ads at that interval + some random time. Possibly do the ad clicks in background so that the user does not know.

Further, it's really coming together now that you can wirelessly mirror an MBP display to the AppleTV. That means projectors+screens can beautifully be replaced by HDTVs and AppleTVs for meeting room presentations. It also means every single piece of content you can get on your laptop, you can also easily watch with one click on your television, wirelessly. It's fantastic for home entertainment too.
That's coming. We just wanted to start with technology that is closest to what we are comfortable with and then move into other areas.

I think it's pretty unfair to characterise the iphone as not breaking new ground. They didn't invent cellphones or touchscreens, but in 2006 you could not buy a phone that looked anything like an iphone, and yet by 2009 that was the dominant form factor for smartphones.

Even the ipod I would say is similar, albeit a little less so; prior to 2001 mp3 players were hardly entrenched, the ipod was the device that didn't just take them mainstream but finally made CD and minidisc players obsolete. To me, that was breaking new ground, even though it wasn't the first portable mp3 player.
