Of course.

The important thing here is that the receive-only scheme provides a way around two of the six points mentioned by dreen above: selling goods/services for Bitcoin and receiving Bitcoin from anyone outside the country.

Actually, from that list it looks like running a node and mining would not be illegal. And if you're mining with a pool, make sure the payout is added as part of the generation transaction, not sent as another transaction later.
Maybe? I could go both ways. I think downvoting is important but it's also very easily abused. I like stackexchange's downvoting system where it comes at a cost.

The Atlanta startup culture is a bit different from the Bay Area. Less consumer internet, more B2B. The investors tend to come from a real-estate, or similar background, and do not always understand technology. That's partly why the bootstrapping/lean startup approach is so critical around here. It's just not worth wasting time trying to get a permission slip from an old rich guy in most cases.
Do GPS signals not correlate themselves with a compass reading? I would think that comparing the change in coordinates to the external fact would prevent spoofing.

I think the failure mode of a system-level cache is rather better than per-application islands that can conflict.

Yes they are, every single one of us lives in a society with a police force, with restrictions on ownership of everything from firearms to particular types of plant.

Don't give me this idealistic nonsense, the fact is that we are all willing to concede freedoms.
This is full of entrepreneurial awesomeness. Like the parent, I thought: 'meh - I wouldn't pay for it, so why would anyone else?' The fact that you've got paying customers already is a huge reminder for me that my opinions are not those of my (potential) customers, and I need to stop projecting my own opinions on them. That's not to dismiss the (great) idea of building products/businesses that you WOULD be a customer of, but narrowing things down to ONLY the things that you would actually do/use narrows your market down to a pretty small number (often 1).

Congratulations to you on getting your first product shipped!
It's my unfamiliarity with city prices I've discovered. I apologise for my lack of knowledge there. Still, the regional price I see in the large country town I'm in is in a way the exception that demonstrates this observation. I cannot but surmise that a rent is being charged.

DH wasn't designed for forward secrecy.
The problem creating a site which beats HN is not chicken and egg. It's bulls. Assuming, I add something to HN, it's still not a user like me that makes or breaks HN. What the link to YC brings is an endless September. What retains freshman to become sophomores is the top of the food chain. How do you get Spolsky and Grellas and MattCutts etc. [e.g. PG] to leave - this is what is working for them.

Ships holed below the waterline don't slip beneath the waves except apocalypticly. Otherwise, wood plugs swell, compartments are sealed, the pumps manned, and a patch applied when time permits - and patching when time permits lends a certain aptness to the analogy.

The time I spend on HN is in part freed up because I have to some degree moved on from other online communities. Some like alt.architecture because they degraded, others because it was "suggested in aboslute terms," and others, more recently because I enjoy less spending with people who engage in more traditional internet behaviors and abide by a different set of norms. In part because, those norms influence my behavior.

I'm interested, but I'm also curious. _Why_ would I use your product? I talk about jQuery, HTML5 and startups a lot already. I mostly use Facebook and Twitter for it. Do I really need a new platform? This post, and the site at http//interestin.co both fail to explain why what you've built is better or different to what's already out there. For users to migrate you need to have something spectacular, or trivially easy to integrate with what I already use.

Generally speaking I use a "hashtag test" when I'm faced with a startup that's about communicating with people - could I do whatever the startup's product does just as well using a hashtag on Twitter? Why is your product better than tweeting "I love frontend dev, yay! #jquery"? If it isn't better, I don't want to use it. If "engaged users" is an important metric in your community, my test has a _very_ high bar you need to beat. If you've come up with a way to do it, that's very interesting indeed.

Yes, though there is confusion in the second paragraph of that reply about what it means for the image to be a "matrix". It's being a matrix has no bearing on converting it to grayscale or sepia. It may as well be an unordered bag of pixels as far as those operations are concerned. I think most beginners would come away with the wrong impression that linear algebra or fourier transforms were important for these basic operations when one or two for loops is quite enough. When I teach this material, that's where I begin and it is very effective.

Also they use the term contrast incorrectly. They're describing a low pass filter (blur) in the example but refer to contrast -- that post would lead beginners very astray.
You have two options here, assuming you ignore option 0:

0) copy all the files from the DFS to the local storage.

1) Attempt to make a distributed filesystem available as a mount point (for example, Hadoop FUSE) on the nginx server so it can serve the data.

2) Make the nginx server know the distributed filesystem API and talk to it via user space directly.

The former leads to insanity (writing a really good, fast FUSE implementation is devlishly hard). The latter can work; I've seen a number of open source codes adapted to distributed filesystems.

This is made easiest if the underlying includes an IO abstraction layer. From a quick skim, it seems nginx has a OS abstraction layer (win32 and unix implementations):, which is more than sufficient.: http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx/src/os/{win32,unix.... From that, it wouldn't be hard to write a "distributed FS variant" (although IO and OS are not orthogonal concepts).

The next problem you're going to have is performance. nginx and other systems really are written with the expectation that IO is local, high throughput, and low-latency. Opening a remote file often takes some time (hundreds of milliseconds), and serial roundtrips cause additional latency, especially if DFS and server are not within 5ms RTT.

The next logical step is to write a readahead layer (if you're serving files larger than a single read block to the DFS) to get better throughput.

A combination of the above techniques, with a bit of tuning and elbow grease, is a good foundation for scalable (in terms of file size, total # of files, etC) serving.
I've been thinking about something similar. I don't see how timed expiration would conflict with the two most important features - the filling mechanism and the replication of hot items. Am I missing something that would make timed expiration impossible?
I wonder how this compares with previous 'pseudolite' ideas? The University of New South Wales (et al.) were active here but I think the point was more an augemtation to provide better positioning at GPS-unfriendly latitudes or topographies.

These ran into all sorts of problems, largely to do with the proximity of the pseudolites to the receivers such as synchronisation and signal strength issues. Locatanets (http://locata.com/) are the in thing nowadays.
And thus, too big to fail rears its head again. If we ignore laws surrounding patent restriction enforcement due to Apple's products forming the bottom line of many mobile operators offerings, then it stands to reason that the lesson learned here is it's better to become so entrenched that nobody -- not even the government -- can pull you out, rather than forming a competitive patent portfolio.

Intel proposed that product bans be implemented only under "extraordinary circumstances" but here we are, a patent war in full swing. Normalcy is cast aside in favor shifting and hidden allegiances.
I think your comment is a correct assessment. Adults do learn this but in addition to learning to hold back your thoughts maturity brings many changes in view and ideology, and I suspect that as many of us might have, Zuck's ideas and views most likely changed dramatically from his early years in college to adulthood - or not. But I think the safer assumption would be it has, for the better or worse that we cannot know but personally I prefer to give people the benefit prior to the doubt.
They haven't outlawed chuck e cheese coins, or any other arcade that uses its own currency instead of dollars. Why would bit coin be any different?

No problem. Start an Okpay exchanger in Thailand and ppl can use it to buy coins.

Thailand is already so corrupt laws are basically meaningless there. If you get caught somehow trading coins then just bribe the cop $100 and walk away.
If you hit swap, again only the offending application or instance is punished, not everyone else (for instance by pummeling a backend database server that other services are using as well)
I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but it isn't accurate. Paedophiles are regularly sent to prison in Thailand.

There is also some misunderstanding about who declared bitcoin illegal. The Central Bank deals specifically with monetary transactions - and they were asked for their opinion by a private company, and they gave that company their opinion.

That is the extent of what happened. The government of Thailand is not on a crusade against bitcoin.
I like the colors and type of default theme of framework. It really looks neat. On the other hand, used markup looks less than Bootstrap. It definitely could be a selling point. Large screen concept and flexible columns also looks very good. I can give them a try.

No need to control Bitcoin itself--they can control the users. That is ultimately more effective, because as with historical foreign exchange prohibitions in other countries have demonstrated, the prohibiting country generally has no control over the prohibited currency.

EDIT: Also, it seems that this is not an actual prohibition. Rather, it is merely a legal advisory memo from the national Bank of Thailand to a Bitcoin company regarding the current legal status of Bitcoin transactions in Thailand. According to the BoT, Bitcoin transactions may not be legal under the current law, so the BoT will not provide banking services to individuals or companies that will use the services for Bitcoin-based transactions or services.
I'm making a huge leap here and assuming that English isn't your first language based on grammatical and other types of errors throughout the site. It would really be to your advantage to have a native English speaker make recommendations on better sentence structure, punctuation and spelling.

I manage newgrounds.com which gets quite a bit of traffic. We'll get what I think are DDoS attacks at least once a month. I can see our connection tracking stats go up to the millions and traffic spikes way up of course.

I don't know WHY they do this, but last time it happened we got an abuse report saying that we were reported for port scanning from our main firewall / proxy box. Somehow they had reflected traffic off our firewall / proxy to make it try to connect to a bunch of IPs on a known trojan port.

I have no idea how they did this, but it appears that this time around we were being used to scan ports. This is just a stock Debian box with a firewall and port 80 open. Scary.
I was astonished to see a graphic in the youtube buffering article indicating that dropbox handles over 1% of the internet's upload traffic:

Maybe another government called in a favor for Thailand to be the first to ban the currency? (Wild speculation.) If so, I wouldn't imagine that other nations will be long behind.
It's a combination of quality and luck.

I've gone to bed posting something I thought was mildly relevant and woken up to a big bump in karma.

I've posted something I thought was incredible and seen it wind up with one upvote.

Then again, why do I submit articles? Mainly because I think it will contribute to HN. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I tend to achieve more consistency with my writing anyway, and that's a more valuable skill to boot.
Traditionally, I believe receivers had to lock onto the civilian GPS signal before even trying to lock the encrypted military GPS.

Besides, encryption doesn't stop you from receiving the existing signal and repeating it with a well-tuned delay, which is all you really need to do to fake GPS...
thanks, it looks good i'll try it
VentureLabs is ranked as the #1 early-phase university incubator! (while I no longer have any direct connections, that was a stepping stone that got me to where I am today). I was wondering how the author could be so clueless about the startup culture that already exists at Georgia Tech.

Then it dawned on me that he's probably sharing the view from the undergraduate school. I only experienced the graduate school at GT, but I could tell that the undergrad experience is dramatically different from the graduate school experience.

As an alum of the graduate school, I can tell you that there are tons of opportunities to turn your research into a commercial venture. GT is very flexible about licensing technologies to outside companies. It amazes me that there can be such a difference between the two bodies of students.

I hope the author can tie his efforts into the existing startup infrastructure and culture. That would be a huge benefit to get more undergraduates involved.

Finding and remembering why you're doing anything in any situation is motivation.

How much we want to do anything, is relative to how energized, focused, and passionate we feel about it, or more importantly, take time to regularly reflect on.

Motivation, as classically defined doesn't fit techies that well because we march to own drum so much. Those that fall for someone else's koolaid can end up jaded and on the same search imho.

Motivation is like bathing.

If we don't bathe our body, we begin to smell and not feel fresh.

Similarly, our thoughts, feelings, and gut begin to smell from having not enough energy placed on hitting the reset button and starting fresh with a clear reminder.

What can do it? Remembering why. Also, things like meditation, exercise, going for a walk, etc can be very powerful to clear your senses to deeply embed the why. Over time it resonates more and more on it's own.

No one can learn about you for you, you have to dedicate time to it just like the time you have to dedicate yourself to technology.

Motivation for me is remembering why I want to do things at a very deep level. I like taking the 5 whys approach to get to a root trigger word or two.

Building discipline and work ethic are the two master skills that underlie any goal I'll find or want to undertake, so it's what I try to optimize on.

So, instead of wanting some eureka moment, I build a practice of improving my discipline and work ethic a little every day. I am part of a weekly group where we set goals and check in with each other, creating obligations around the things I want to be doing for others to force me to move.

The above could be a blog post in some way as I've been self employed for over a decade and have had to work on these routines to be my own best support.

Thoughts and input most welcome :)
Humans, like water, take the easiest route. Unless someone is particularly vigilant and routinely checks the gyroscope to verify the course the GPS is using you wouldn't notice the "hijack" till it was too late. Most people I know wouldn't be paranoid enough to verify their own course against a gyroscope, or any other means of determining coordinates.

I didn't like the shading/3d effect of everything in v2 and the excessive roundness. I think this looks better. But yes, some light shading on the buttons would be nice.
With respect to your comment; I ran cross-country in high school. We trained in certain zones called VDOT's, and in the VDOTS were times on how fast you should be running for 800m, 1600m etc. The only way we got better was pushing ourselves outside of our VDOT suggested times, and entering the higher VDOT times. If we simply "got to work" we would never get better, only becoming good at what we were told is our limit (represented by the times in our VDOT).
For me, a big change was to stop to beat myself so much about my failure to work on the things I wanted to do. Now, I'm much more leisury about my projects. I have very unproductive periods, and very productive periods, I goes in cycles. It's normal.

The only thing is to persist. As Confucius said "It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop."
The US is a little special, as it's got a strong agricultural industry (like Australia), and subsidises food like crazy (like the EU). While Australia has some of the most efficient food production in the world, it has very low subsidies. The US has both efficient food production, and crazy subsidies, so food is dirt cheap. Plus, Australia has fairly high minimum wages, so eating out is quite expensive.
My sister migrated to regional Australia and it's hella expensive.

Bananas in Arizona are $0.57/lb and they were $12/k when I lived there. Apparently there was a banana shortage at the time but the usual price was still 4-5x what I would normally pay.

Clothing is also very expensive. Every time my sister comes back to the states she brings two gigantic duffel bags and stocks up on clothing.

The prices on anything else you want/need to buy like electronics, computers, cars, or bicycles are insane compared to the USA. Or even Japan, which isn't a country known for bargain prices.

I do think there is a bit of frontier pricing happening. Everything seemed cheaper in Melbourne than her town.

That said, she gets paid $95K for a part time job with full benefits. She had a similar job in the states that was full time and it paid $34,000 with minimal benefits.
