Maybe you're right, but Google has the personal data from me that they don't, across a variety of services that allow for integration and knowledge about me that is hard for me to really wrap my head around.

I've used this example before, but Google Now already recommends destinations based on what I Google Maps at my desk before I head out. It also knows what is on my "grab when I go by the grocery store" list before I quickly use Google Now and say "Google: note to self, pick up milk" and it's in there.

[soon] So now, when Google's autonomous car is driving me home and I'm watching the road attentively, Google Now pops up in Glass and offers to redirect the car to the grocery store most minimizing the way out of my route (or the one that has the best deals listed with Google Shopping, or that has the best coupons, or that Google Wallet has my rewards card for). And it reminds me to grab my milk. [/not yet]

And then on the way out of the store it again offers directions back to my house.

This is all there (except the Keep intuition bit that I sincerely hope is coming and will really prove Google Now). (And sadly, and I'm whining, but I didn't get into the super special Glass program :[)

Sorry, I've rambled, back on point: I don't doubt that those you list have the power and smart people to build the tech, but I don't think they have the data. I think Apple Maps was but a small example of the advantages Google has in areas of data.

Very few experienced programmers will have these beliefs. Addresses are the most fucked up personal information that we have to deal with. Names run a close second.

Over beers a few of my mates came up with a system like DNS to map a mailing domain for an individual/organization to a physical location. But after much discussion we decided it was just easier to let the geo-challenged to lease postal boxes with saner locations.

I feel opposite. Bitcoin is a proof-of-work scheme to come to an agreement on certain information. Due to the costs of work, any kind of PoW scheme will be used as commodity and traded. Also, people will tend to allocate all their "mining" resources towards most valuable protocol. Which will lead to a single most powerful blockchain while others will be in very tiny minority.

So if you want to create a PoW agreement scheme, you have to create a system of incentives, that is create a currency out of it. Which Bitcoin does. But currency is a secondary part. Primary part is agreement.

That is a true point :) But keep in mind that there is something to be said for not storing encrypted data on the same machine as the key.

Ofcourse once the machine is compromised it can trick you into giving it the key, but there are also countless scenarios where that is not possible. It is really an improvement onto your security.

Lets not pretend that read-protected memory is such a secure way of storing private keys.

I would like to add one point:

* Addresses can have accented or other foreign characters.

I ordered a package to "Fäkéstreet", but it arrived addressed to "FÃ¤kÃ©street", luckily the postman was smart enough to decipher it.

I have also run into the address length issue, even thou my address is only 54 characters long.

These types of shelters are registered with the city by latitude and longitude. From what I've heard, dozens of people were trapped in these shelters for several hours and then pulled out by emergency responders. Being stuck in a small shelter until the middle of the night isn't pleasant but the standard response to tornados until this type of shelter became cheaply (<$3K installed) available was to head into an interior closet or bathroom with no windows. For 99% of tornados, that will be enough to prevent injury or loss of life if the house is damaged, but a number of people were killed in the May 20 tornado while taking shelter in this way.

Malware affecting Linux web servers major trend in 2013 - Eset
I think for me this boils down to 'Unknown unknowns' First I need to have a high level overview of all the different areas that are impacted by security. Then, I need to know which ones are 'mission critical' so to say. Once I kind of know the big picture, and where I should focus my efforts first, I can go and learn by myself and then come to you when I hit bumps in my understanding.

For example, I am trying right now to build my first web app. I know certain 'things' eg don't store user passwords in plain text, don't try to build my own crypto solutions etc. But I have no idea of what possible attack vectors exist, which ones are critical, which ones are covered by using best practices, good frameworks etc. In other words, I have no idea where to start, literally because I have no idea! I am currently going through the matasano challenges, but I can't (at the moment as I have just gotten the first set of challenges) for the life of me see how I should apply this new knowledge to building a web app.

Regarding your question, I see you have maybe already outlined the sections of your high level overview presentation:
1: physical
2: network
3: application
4: operations
5: business risk management

But in all honesty, I really don't even know enough to answer you: What do I wish I knew? Because I didn't even think about those 5 areas even.

It looks good (somewhat like the better parts of Google+) and I like that you're looking at other ways of monetising it than advertising.

Personally I'd be more likely to pay a one-off fee for a mobile app than a subscription, but that might be due to my low usage of them. I hope it works out for you :)
Both products are amazing but that's a silly comparison.

The Rift gives you an instant 3D experience whereas Glass sits there idle most of the time and waits for it to be used as a tool when needed.

So to really assess the value of Glass you would have to use for a few weeks, while the Rift only has to be used for a few minutes to really experience what it is all about.

Agreed. Google Glass is more about showing some useful information while you're on the go and not about immersive 3d gaming.

Sorry to be offtopic but I'm beginning to get annoyed of all the stories that have a title that give you no indication of what the story is about.

For example the top story "Glass". Am I supposed to automatically know what that is about? Same with this story. I click on the title and it's basically an announcement for a new service named "Pixter". Why not put this in the title.

Is Hacker News a site exclusive to Silicon Valley insiders? I live far, far away from Silicon valley. Am I supposed to infer the topic of the article by looking at the title and go "Ah yes, that's the talk of the town you know. Glass and Pixter".

Ask HN: Do you have side projects you want to sell?
Hi HN. I recently launched Hoverboard.io, which helps you show off projects you've built. I'm thinking about what direction to take it in, and one possible idea would be to allow people to list side projects as potentially being open for sale (and then making it easy to find projects that are for sale).

I personally have a few older side projects that I'd be open to selling, but I was wondering if other people are in the same position. Are there already any places that do a good job of offering that service? Is this something that anyone would be interested in?

This is not an announcement for pixter. We did that sometime back. This article is about difference between free vs paid services and why we chose to build pixter. We do have an introduction paragraph about pixter without which the article would not make sense to people who don't know what pixter is. Sorry about that, it was not our intention.

To make it clear I have added Pixter to the title

Thats a horrible solution to suggest. It's like suggesting that people go buy body armor to deal with crime. It non-scaling, do not address the issue, and leaves those most vulnerable exposed.

Malware like to target those that are willing to spend money online. That mean those people who are most targeted are also those who won't disable the plugins that makes them vulnerable to attack in the first place. W3C should focus on making people safer, rather than encourage a environment that consumer, producers and even publishers will be hurt by in the long run.
Cool, very nice!
Im really glad that you liked the design, it inspires me to do more. Pixter is a full service and the iOS app is just a part of it. We have a lot of features planned, and we are just getting started. We need support from people like you!

PS: we have a free account, which allows you to follow as many people as you want. It's like a read-only mode, writes are limited to 12 photos a year :) Every sign up helps!

I think it is mildly ridiculous how much attention "Glass" receives. The concept behind the product seems remotely OK, however from all the initial reviews this seems like yet another failed Google experiment. Poor, buggy software, and bulky hardware that looks like a joke - I'd be embarrassed to wear those. I think people really need to stop spinning the whole Google Glasses topic, they don't really deserve the attention.
There’s a follow-up post detailing some first steps: http://malone.cc/posts/lobe_1.html
One example could be indemnification of the host. A host honestly doesn't want to be a target of subpoena for a data that some users put there. So the host honestly says: sorry, all the data is encrypted and we don't have passwords for it, only the users have them. So we have no idea what's there and can't give you anything useful.
The point is that the means of verification they're implementing are ludicrous. There are MUCH better ways to get a verified ID without causing this uproar, and that's why the only reasonable conclusion is that they are misleading their customers and they are after this for different reasons than the ones stated.
its interesting how a lot of these are from the UK. In Germany on the other hand - every address follows the same format. The only weirdness you run into is that sometimes (Especially in former east german areas) - the numbering of buildings isnt really sequential.
Voice recognition is also useful when it's really cold out and you have gloves on, or when you can't/don't want to be looking at your phone (e.g. because you're navigating a crowded or dangerous place)
It'd be nice if they had something about how their infrastructure is setup and the rationale behind the decisions they made in selecting certain services over others.

At this point, it's just some filler text about what the company is and the "services" they use; There's not much to learn here except find one or two new services which might have been shown off on HN at some point of time or the other.

Right now, It's almost like a list of items on Referly; only that these items are web services.
This is sort of like Linux kernel supporting a fixed ABI for binary modules. There are those who say that it's a good thing and benefits are more than the costs. And then there are those who say that this would be bad and it prevents us from going through a temporary struggle that would eventually lead to a better solution for the long-term.

I tend to favor the second camp. Let's not compromise on our vision for the open web. We have gone through a lot and have achieved a lot. A short-term hassle is acceptable for the long-term win.

Edit: This is also similar to the classic paradox of tolerance: Should we tolerate the intolerant? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

> The user will know their postal code/zip code.

Which assumes that the user has a postal/zip code. For a counter example, all addresses in the ROI outside of Dublin do not have postcodes. (And most online sites won't validate Dublin postcodes either, being of the form D4 or Dublin 4 for example)
So are we. Imagine how I feel having to give that thing to the winning team instead of being able to keep it.

The biggest takeaway for me here should sound familiar: don't overengineer your data model. The more decisions you make about specific properties, the more special cases you will need to handle (and those are a continuing source of frustration for both programmers and users down the line).

In this case, most of these issues can be avoided by allowing a free text field instead of dedicated fields for street name, number, apartment, floor, state, county, district, and whatever.
