here's what you do - design a beautiful cube that has a few ports (USB, firewire, whatever). It should also connect to the local wifi network. It'd ship with Dropbox-like software so synching files to it over the home network is dead simple.

Then, you make some sort of lifetime guarantee that you'll keep up with changes in storage and interface technology. Guarantee that the thing will be later upgraded to seamlessly translate people's wedding photos to the next big image format. Guarantee you'll keep it forward and backwards compatible to future OS updates. Guarantee it'll work with future phones and tablets, etc.

Maybe even build in some kind of automated off-site backups in case of fire, theft, flooding.

If you made it simple, and if you earned people's trust that this is really an investment - I think you could really clean up with local home storage.

> The U.S., as far as anyone has demonstrated, does not set out to kill journalists because what they write is inconvenient.

I remember that prior to the invasion of Iraq, the US said that any journalist that is not embedded with US troops is fair game. That does sound like they didn't mind killing journalists they don't control.

This attitude also clearly shows in the bombing of the Al Jazeera offices in Baghdad, Bush's 2004 idea of bombing the Al Jazeera HQ in Qatar, or the attack on the Palestine Hotel.
I know the feeling. Fortunately I was compiling a massive report, so I didn't lose as much productive time as I could have.

Well worth reading the whole thing though.

Hello HN. This is what I call a reverse job board. I was hesitant in making it paid right away because of the lack of jobs but I wasn't entirely sure how I would go back later, so I did. If you are looking for a contract, it is completely free to post. Let me know if any one has any suggestions or questions. Thanks!
I encounter vi on a production Solaris 10 box at my current consulting gig.

I can access the box from other hosts with tramp. I believe that firewall rules will be changed to restrict many production SSH connections to be outbound, which might signal the end of that use case(?)

Other editors found on the production box: ed, xedit (X Consortium).
Yes, it is all about power and control -- but porn is very much part of what the authorities do not want people to see.

Your sexuality is the most personal, most intimate part of your life. By enforcing "morality" - the state exerts control over your sexuality; it exerts control over the most intimate part of your life; for those in authority, it is the most potent symbol of their power possible - and the most intoxicating validation of their status.

Those in power are there because they are pathologically inclined to seek it. They cannot help but expand that power, to intrude and control others to the maximum extent possible.
I think this post is spot on. You don't need to put up with negativity on twitter, and if you're constantly snarky yourself, think about the impact you're having on others. It feels good to have people laugh with you and validate you, but ultimately you're helping to create a culture of aggression that's not healthy for anyone.

Maybe this is a good place to mention that I've just finished re-writing my tiny "positive" social network: http://gratefulplace.com/ . It's meant to be a place for people to lift each other up.

As you can't currently submit apps that have been built for iOS7 it shouldn't have an impact for developers working on rewrites. The biggest problem being the prerelease documentation is down whilst the current docs are up, however as they're included with XCode that's actually not a huge deal.

Plus iOS7 would be on a tight schedule if Apple had actually announced a release date, as it is iOS7 is on a schedule we just don't know what it is.
I would feel secure at 600,000 post-tax for a 15 year adventure into research for bioinformatics, analytics, and embedded design.

During this 15 year break, I could easily notch away at the big circle of knowledge, generate side income, write books/tutorials and contribute to companies/individuals in software aspects.

I would also be able to work at night. I have a reversed circadian rhythm. I spend most of my nights getting 2-4 hours of sleep and murmuring about math and programming during the other 4-6 hours. A typical job schedule holds back my productivity.

My happiness is defined by obtaining/spreading knowledge. 40,000 (post-tax) a year is more than enough to maintain a household of three, take vacations, and stay on top of technology.
I feel Inkscape has a great UI, too. I never used Illustrator, which seems to be the benchmark for "semi-pro" use of such vector graphics tools.

The GIMP I use because I'm used to it, but I find the interface a little annoying.

The risks of someone calling you smart and how to avoid them
The reason why wanting to change the world appears to be an "aristocratic conceit" is that the current reward system overly rewards predictable riskless delivery over unpredictable risky innovation, meaning that it is much harder to obtain the breathing room (read: cash) on both a personal and business level to go in those "world-changing" directions.

Given that venture capital investment is one of the best (if riskiest) ways to make money, I really think it is time to throw out the accredited-investor law and open it up to everyone. This will flood the world with startup capital, allowing more breathing room for real innovation (read: world-changing) to occur.

I agree that if no bottom line is made at all, you're in trouble. I can't find the post now, but there's a great blog post out there about realizing that you have to make yourself valuable to SOMEone, SOMEhow in a way that will make them pay you, whether you like it or not...

I mostly agree but in the end, both countries are a bad fit for Snowden with regards to his activism. Also, China doesn't really have strict visa regulations at all (for example, pretty much anyone can buy a one year visa within a few hours in Hong Kong, no questions asked). On the other hand, it is probably easier to apply for citizenship in Russia and the Russian passport is more convenient for travel. In any case, I don't think Snowden ever really had a choice between Russia and China.
I'm not sure what posts like this look to achieve. It's never going to change the main problem crowd: angry kids who get pissy about the tiniest things. They're the ones being abusive on forums etc. as well.

"Celebrity" developers on Twitter are much like political pundits on cable news. They say polarizing things to get a reaction. They aren't gunning for ratings, they're gunning for followers so that they can up their personal star-power in the industry. They speak loudly to sound smart.
It’s easy to over-spec something that doesn’t exist. Let’s wait and see what they ship.
The section on PostScript for printers is quite dated--most printer drivers now rely (at least in the Mac OS world) on the OS's PDF-style rendering, and just ship bits to the printer.

PostScript itself (vs PDF) is pretty much a dead letter at this point.

You are conflating illegal child pornography with legal hardcore pornography in that sentence. Was that just poor phrasing?

Why is making legal hardcore pornography opt-in a big deal? So many reasons. First, because there's nothing wrong with it and it's something a good many of ordinary people enjoy. Second, despite the previous, in many societies it's still not considered a socially acceptable think to admit to liking even though almost everyone does, so people are far less likely to speak up in a manner that identifies them in order to protest it. Third, some of the actually banned (and not just filtered) content is rape fantasy, which is a hugely popular fantasy among women, and many object to its being banned. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, making it opt-in is a big deal because it takes a freedom and weakens it. If we have to ask the government for permission to do something, it's not a freedom, it's something being allowed by government for now, and they can change it whenever they want. This is the same reason people advocate open source tools and non-proprietary protocols—so we have our own freedom of choice and can avoid being locked into the whims of whoever holds the power. Porn is an easy place for them to start, because large subsets of society won't speak out in defense of porn, but I guarantee if this sort of filter remains in place long-term, it will be used to block more than porn. That may not even be their intent right now, but when you have a massive internet filtration system in place, it makes it extremely easy to justify adding in a few more filters blocking sites troublesome to the government in a few years.
" If we create great work and send it out into the world using a delivery mechanism conducive to piracy, it’s no wonder we end up getting screwed."

That's the most important point in this piece, IMHO. People who sell digital content can't use the same business model as people who sell non-trivially reproducible goods and expect to have the same success. In theory consumers could build their own copy of a good like a pair of jeans or a bicycle, but few have the skill or desire to create a high quality replica, and the parts and equipment are specialized and most likely need to be purchased.

Digital media is trivially reproducible by unskilled people with equipment they already have on hand. Instead of a high quality pair of jeans, their good is more like a burlap sack you tie around your waist with a bit of rope: anyone who'd be tempted to buy that product would probably just make their own at lower cost.

This if course does not address the skill and difficulty of creating music or film, but rather the difficulty of reproducing it, given a copy to work with. Thus, it's reasonable to ask a large amount when crowd funding a film or album, because of course the artists should be well rewarded for their talent and effort and the many expenses in producing this good must be paid, but it's a foolish business model to put the product out and then stomp your feet when people choose not to pay when they can trivially copy it.

It's harder to copy a well-made T-shirt or hat and it's impossible to copy the experience of a live performance, so selling those is a sensible venture as well.
Oh, so if we're trying to imagine how bright a wifi router's "light output" would look if we could see it, we can just imagine a 60W (monchromatic, say green) lightbulb. Of course the light would pass through walls more easily which is a bit unusual :) But for attenuation over free space, I think the analogy to a 60W light bulb is very useful.
New York Times media correspondent David Carr: “If you add up the pulling of news organization phone records (The Associated Press), the tracking of individual reporters (Fox News), and the effort by the current administration to go after sources (seven instances and counting in which a government official has been criminally charged with leaking classified information to the news media), suggesting that there is a war on the press is less hyperbole than simple math.”

AP president Gary Pruitt: "Longtime sources have stopped talking to the Associated Press in response to the Obama administration’s secret seizure of the wire service’s phone records. This chilling effect is not just at AP, it’s happening at other news organizations as well. Journalists from other news organizations have personally told me it has intimidated sources from speaking to them."

Chief White House Correspondent for NBC News Chuck Todd: "You end up essentially criminalizing journalism when it comes to reporting on the federal government, particularly on national security. You know, I’ve had different conversations with people over the last week who are sitting there not quite comfortable having certain conversations on the phone."

Would it stretch your moral intellect to google any of the above? The US has successfully criminalized real journalism so there is no need to kill. Not a whole lot better.

Now the headline has changed to: "Snowden asylum still under review, stays in airport for now - lawyer"

... so it seems RT popped their cork too early. Explains why the Guardian didn't cover this yet.
See, you have a good example of where I'm wrong. I most definitely say "an NSA" in this case, because that sounds right. I think its just a few particular words that sound funny that way, while pretty much every other time the actual rules make sense.
>Information may continue to leak, but not from Snowden. His part of the show is finished (and luckily for him, he's not even bruised!).

In my opinion, being exiled from your home and living the rest of your life with the world superpower ready to kidnap you is relatively bruising.
> That probably wouldn't have shut down the site

So the guy is a hero. Thanks for disturbing real life businesses for several days, I guess?

> he was making Apple do something about it.

This behavior is endemic for the self-righteous security "researcher" scene. "I found a bug - you must do what I say, NOW, or else ..."

It's not like Apple would have ignored his bug reports if he wouldn't have scraped 100k developer accounts.
Yeah, this is the best version available, while he is still using classic text terminal. So classy.))

I'm sure that they did, but that doesn't mean that Snowden doesn't know/have access to useful, privileged information.

Edited to add: When you click "I am interested", you can also append a message to send.
Hosting everything on Linode.

nginx as a load balancer (running 4 node processes on different ports as upstart scripts with respawn) and for serving static files.

Express + Jade (but I do most of the things on the client - calling REST API)

redis as a session store: https://github.com/visionmedia/connect-redis

DB - MongoDb (I also use Mongoose: http://mongoosejs.com/)

I also host most of the static resources on S3 and they are served through CloudFront CDN.
At first I used this module (for easier deploying the resources to S3):
https://github.com/niftylettuce/express-cdn
but later I had to rewrite most of the things to handle my specific requirements (using knox).

Tests (client and server side): Mocha + sinon + chai

CSS: Less + less-middleware

JS: UglifyJS + express-uglify

I'm also running a worker process and a scheduler process. For communication between the worker, web and scheduler processes - RabbitMQ.

Deploying everything with git push in master (custom github post push hook).
No build server. Have nothing to build.

Client side: jQuery (of course) + AngularJS + custom code for bootstrapping the SPA.

KnockoutJS - Naaw.

Hope this info helps.

It's still a bummer that you're limited to basically C++ or QML (a weird hybrid of css and javascript). Why no mobile OSes offer true language choice is a mystery to me.

What about combining a machine learning algorithm with people work for images with low confidence. You could even train the network with feedback from the people workers.
The problem is that if you go to some random machine, you'll most likely have the following problems:

- Getting an account takes most of the one day you're there
- None of the software you use is there
- It's not even the OS you use
- There are restrictions on the machine
- There are viruses on the machine (if it's a home machine)

For these reasons people often use carry around a laptop.

Carrying a laptop is pain, because you need to look after it and so you don't have it everywhere you go. You don't with a phone - it's in your pocket - all the time.
Do you have examples of that? Because he has several examples of the opposite in his talk.

The Chilling Effects of License-Plate Location Tracking
Didn't Snowden say that this was only temporary so he could secure a flight to a south american country at some point ?
He created a bug in a portal of hundreds of thousands of bugs. That was not even two weeks ago.

I'd be surprised if someone had even looked at the bug until a few days ago. Then they did some investigating, determined it to be true and ran up the manager ladder till someone said shut it down.
Well I would certainly put a "tour" in because it's not at all clear why I should spend $2.50 a month on this.
Exactly the product I had in mind. I think you can get customers by selling the box and also by providing a subscription model to backup/replicate the user data. Ideally this box should use a well documented and open API and code so you can sync it with other "vaults" providers or even with other boxes. I would pay a lot for a service like this.

Edit: typo.
Can you provide proof to otherwise? I'd imagine you've done proper research on the topic of Putin's honesty due to the flippant response.
They are currently cheap, at least from Europe - an iPhone is £529, the Edge is less than £450. If they really make it and get some carrier interest, prices will go further down.
no. classic SAP or ORA is generic, they have certain industry templates but applying them is far from easy and fast. there is no way to simply turn on SAP CRM and start working with it say as a biotech.
I think you're mistaking the popularity of politicians, with the will of the people and vox populi.
Your comment is irrelevant and quite wrong. No one is disputing that nVidia & AMD cards (in general) have better performance, but very often Intel's offering is good enough, and people don't need more than what's enough.
I want to make a lot of money, and I'm not even slightly embarrassed by that. Why would I be? This is my life, and my dreams are at stake, and - last time I checked - you only get one shot (one life) at living your dreams.

I'm not killing myself working 7 days a week, balancing a startup and a regular job, spending almost my every waking hour working in some fashion, forgoing vacations, a social life, a girlfriend, partying, etc. - all just for my health. In fact, my health is most likely suffering from this lifestyle.

But when I look at the potential: building a profitable, growing company that could give me the financial freedom to live the rest of my life more "on my own terms"... having the freedom to travel to exotic locations, have fun adventures, engage in projects that just plain interest me (as opposed to having to be motivated by financial returns), etc... that makes it all seem worthwhile.

It's not about money, it's about power. And I mean 'power' in the full sense of the word: the autonomy, money and status/connections to do what you want - whether that's changing the world, giving your family a good life (relative to their peers)

It's basically what lhnz says: It's not really the money per-se that matters, it's the freedom that having plenty of money allows you, that matters. I'm not out to own a yacht, a private jet, or 7 mansions in 6 countries or anything... I don't need to be Larry Ellison rich, but I'd like to get to "FU money" level.

That's not my only reason for trying to build a startup, but it's definitely one of them.

He's using some kind of condensed serif at an enormous size that makes it very uncomfortable for screen reading. His list numbers are illegible, misaligned, and extremely far away from the list items. He sprinkles SMALL CAPS everywhere FOR SOME REASON. The contents page is particularly bad, using a Futura-esque font against a serif at the same size, with bizarre spacing, failing to make a hierarchy or pleasing design.

There are many great design documents. This is not one of them. If you want to improve your design skills, do yourself a favor and avoid this charlatan.

Why The UK's Filtering By Fiat Won't Work, and Won't Help
I recall a recent study asking millionaires if they had enough money, and most of them said something like "no, I won't feel secure until I have 10-20 mil."

That's a rational response, given that's about the minimum necessary to provide high current income ($100-200k/year), securely growing with inflation, without touching the principal. That's basically the definition of financial security. The study indicates that empirically, rich people tend to make sound financial decision, which isn't shocking.
