No, the inference you're drawing does not follow from what I said. I simply pointed out that, contrary to your assertion, the onus for securing clear title to the work rests with the buyer, not the seller. Assuming that the designer is also hosting the site, they are presumably free to limit access until they've been paid.
One thing that I already see happening is that there's less friction to be able to capture sports videos.

For example, five years ago, if you wanted to make a Redskins highlight video, you would have to record every Redskins game - which required a TiVo and some sort of video capture card hooked up to your TV set - transfer them to your computer, then parse out all the big plays and put them into a highlight video. It was a very high-friction time consuming process.

Now you can subscribe to NFL.com and get videos of every NFL game and the coaches film, and the radio calls, immediately after they air with big play markers already tagged. So if I wanted to make a highlight video or a database of every big play from the season, it's a pretty painless process.

Because it's getting easier for motivated fans to produce content such as highlight videos, or analysis on sports, I think we're really going to see an erosion of sports reporting on networks like ESPN, as slowly their only purpose becomes live broadcasts. We're going to start sourcing our sports content from podcasts that we like, or a youtube channel that produces good content as opposed to "whatever garbage espn has on at the current time". So anyway there's opportunity for third party sports content.

Movie premiers streamed through the internet and delivered in home. Movie theaters would be second class citizens with people getting larger and more powerful entertainment systems in their houses.
The desperate cries of our enemies.

In all seriousness, I think video games will be even bigger than they are today. Instead of fixed characters, they will have people you know—friends, relatives, people you dislike, etc—generated through analysis of pictures and video of them.

This will lead to something of a moral panic when people grasp that they can't keep someone from having them as a characters in a game.

A similar thing will happen to porn, feeding into the moral panic.
Ask HN: Complex tech idea with no coding experience - what to do?
As my name suggests, I do a lot of stock trading. In my past experience, I've ran website development divisions and what not. I have a lot of tech experience but minimal coding experience.

I have an idea uses a lot of principles from stock trading and brings it to the consumer front without them ever knowing. Vague description, yes.

My questions is how do you go about developing an idea with not much money and little coding experience? From my knowledge, the formulas I need are extremely complex and the coding required for them is complicated as well. I would try and learn but I can't seem to wrap my head around just javascript (and I know I need more than that).

I've looked up a lot of articles on this but every time I try to find someone to help, they require a ton of money or just aren't interested in putting in the time.

Any advice/ideas? Cheers!
We will be entertained by the same sorts of media that entertain us today. The economics will be a bit more worked out and the players a bit more entrenched. And we'll probably simply have more options as the tools of production fall into more hands. This'll mean a lot more crap is produced, but we'll also have more weird out-of-left-field sorts of media hits.

Television isn't being cannibalized by the internet. The "traditional" means of distributing it are (cable, broadcast TV, etc). It's more like the internet is being cannibalized by television programming as more people use services like Netflix and Hulu -- and as more people pirate TV shows. More people use the internet to watch television than ever before.

Different jurisdictions, different rules and names. In general, jurisdictions that allow repossession without going to court, requires the creditor to follow strict procedures with reminders etc, and usually it's also a requirement that the actual act of taking possession is handled by public bailiffs or at least repossession agents (that act under strict liability).

"The client didn't pay" is the basic assumption necessary for most of this conversation to make any sense. If you want to discuss whether or not this particular client really did or did not pay, that's fine, but don't chastise others for having a different conversation than you are.
Good question. What I've done in the past is picked 5 companies that are widely traded (V, TSLA, AAPL, GOOG, etc.) in markets that you know.

From there, develop out a few different strategies of what you want to test (formulas, graphing, etc.)

Google, Yahoo!, and other allow for direct pricing feed downloads - check out http://goo.gl/KGWqpo

From there, you can apply your formulas to raw data and see how it stacks up. Remember, you want to test the hell out of this with a broad range of data. Start with companies/markets you know first, then go out from there. As others have suggested, use historical data.

As a tid bit, for testing trading strategies, I use ThinkorSwim since it offers an obscene amount of tools on live market data for mock trades. Cheers!

Virtual Reality, no doubt about it. Having tried the Oculus dev kit, VR will blow everything else away. The limitations currently, screen resolution and sensors, will be chipped away because they align nicely with the troubles smartphone makers have (smartphone makers want people to keep buying newer models, but there wasn't a good reason to until now - higher screen resolutions that are needed for VR - retina is no-where near retina in VR).

People will spend most of their day in VR - work, entertainment, socializing - and new forms of entertainment will arise that are hybrid between movies and games.

Huge fortunes are about to be made

- how much are eyeballs worth in VR as opposed to tiny screens ? (a lot)

- how much is it worth to replace most physical products, including real estate? (software eating the world in turbo-drive)

Except that the US apparently has a specific treaty with the UN that says that the US will NOT spy on the UN headquarters on their soil...
Given the location of the UN Headquarters, it isn't possible for any country to be more effective at spying than the US. Like I said in another thread[2], if you spy on the UN, you own it. You have a disproportionate advantage in all negotiations (unless other countries are also effective at spying[1]). You might think that it is fine that the US effectively owns the UN, but its credibility is ruined.

The compromised UN is effectively a body for representing and legitimizing the wishes of the cabal of US allies as if they were the actual consensus of all UN member states.

[1] But it is still not possible for any nation to be more effective at spying than the US, given the UN's location.

> They mostly cry without any reason watsoever.

Not really, it's just that we find it difficult as adults to empathize enough to understand what's bothering them. Children cry because they're hungry, because they've got gas, because they're sick or uncomfortable, because they're overstimulated, or because they're bored. Since they eat every few hours, have developing digestive systems, have developing temperature regulation systems, and have no internal monologue and short attention spans, one of these things becomes a problem very frequently.

As they get older, they cry because they have no emotional regulation (something that isn't fully developed until after adolescence). If I snatch a candy bar out of your hand you were about to bite into, you feel that initial pang of loss but quickly your higher faculties regulates that emotion. If I grab a piece of "floor food" my 9 month old is about to put in her mouth, she feels that same emotional response, but there is nothing to regulate it.
I'm a big fan of my HP-28 calc and it's RPL. The programming language might seem odd, but on a device with (soft) keys that map to commands it makes sense.

I was thinking about building my own physical calculator (i don't like to use smart phones for that, there is not nearly enough space for keys, and the keys give not appropriate feedback). I was looking for languages to use and I didn't find anything suitable. Forth was too raw. I didn't like factor, it seem unsuitable for a calculator. OpenRPL was, i don't know why, odd. This language, once it add other number types, and allow to omit the map, APL style, looks very promising.

But writing a whole calculator software, with the menus and integrating the programming language, ability to plot functions, inspect variables and so on, was not a weekend project as first thought because the language has to be integrated deeply.
If you're trying to focus on something it is a problem. I hadn't even considered the sleep part of this, I was thinking about reading, programming, etc, all of which will be derailed by a screaming baby.
Not too much but one thing it really did for me was force me to research more about data collection and who knows what.

I downloaded a couple tools such as Tor for specific things that I don't really want connected to me in the future. Additionally, I added the Collusion extension for Chrome to see who is tracking what about me.

In terms of behavior, I've started reducing my activity on Facebook/Twitter.

TL;DR - Became more educated on how the stuff works and changed behavior a bit, but nothing extreme.

Any idea why this is? I think I remember seeing some WebGL security concerns back when it was first getting going, but I assume those have been mitigated by now. I guess it's just Safari being behind on implementation?
> do not specifically target Chrome passwords, and instead just dump the entire protected storage, will no longer be able to get Chrome passwords.

That's not how protected storage works on Windows. It's just a simple crypto API. You give Windows some data, it encrypts it with a (user/machine/process) specific key and returns it. It's up to Chrome to store it. So, any bad software would already need to target Chrome's settings files, so hard-coded (or install generated) entropy adds nothing.

There is the Windows Credential storage which is system wide (I think IE uses that), but Chrome does not, to my knowledge. (I've got a hundred entries in Chrome, and only a few certs and passwords in credstore.)

> would mind typing in a password

This is an entirely different suggestion and that sounds like a decent feature but not really. If you want a password manager like PasswordSafe that stores passwords "safely" (and does auto-relock, moves around in RAM to avoid any "ghosting" effects, etc.) then use a dedicated program. Adding it to Chrome adds complexity for little additional security (if your workstation is unlocked, it's almost definitely game over).

And the original article is talking about non-technical friendly culture of leaving stuff around unlocked. Even with a master password, Chrome is left open all the time anyways. So it's a doubly dubious feature. You'd need to add auto-relocking, etc. etc.

If Chrome does all this, one of the Chrome members should implement a lightweight, benign exe that undoes it all in one quick move, shows you passwords, then deletes itself. So you can just hit like new incognito window, https://url.thing/chromepass and immediately undo it all, just to remind people how silly it is.

Edit: Remember that most security threats are remote, and Chrome has been doing a fantastic job on the actual security model. Cert pinning, for instance, prevents vastly more attacks than this complicated password thing would do. Wikipedia says Chrome (and new Safari) are the only current browsers to support TLS > 1.0 (needed to prevent some attacks).

I'm glad the Chrome team is moving with a real threat model, rather than hand-wavy stuff.

> Does Darwin support all hardware FreeBSD does? Is it stripped down to Mac-like hardware?

I think you have the common misconception that Darwin uses the FreeBSD kernel. It does have components from FreeBSD, and one of the principal engineers was the founder of FreeBSD. However, the kernel is actually Mach+XNU (Mach is a micro-kernel, XNU is a Unix-kernel-like wrapper around it).

OK here's a startup idea (probably patented by a billion other corps already)

So you add a GPS to a phone and you get real world geographic games (stand here and click to "win").

My guess is the next big treadmill/grind game will involve geographic and photos and social networks. "Your mission today for 200 possible points is to get a pix of a dog within 100 feet of this coordinate, lose one point per foot from that coordinate and the other 100 points come from social evaluation/rating of the pic"

It seems inevitable, you add a gps to a phone, you get gps games. You have a camera now... you're going to "have to" use it in gaming.

Now in 20 years kids will make fun of old people who played that "cellphone camera game" that was at its peak 15 years ago.

Here's another free startup idea. You've got accelerometers and they're cheap so wrap them all over your body (to get positioning info). You've got poor people on the other side of the planet to take the liability. So... i-yoga e-yoga whatever across the internet with some "genuine" (yeah right) dude in India evaluating your pose and cheering you on. Sell some yoga pants (and top) with a bunch of accelerometers as position sensors.. or some kind of Kinect type thing. One way or another... And I suspect this kind of sorta-social networking might apply to other things. You now have a hired personal trainer on the other side of the planet devoted to nothing other than training you personally all day (well, supposedly).

1000 times this. When airplane starts to descend my ears do funny thing. I begin to hear everything like from under a meter of water. My ears also hurt like hell. And it doesn't stop. On my first flight ever, I suffered for half an hour waiting for this feeling to pass. No amount of swallowing helped. Then I told my friend about it and he ssugested that I blow the air out through the nose while holding it shut with my hand. Presto. I was back with the living. If you could somehow do this manouver to an infant that started crying on descent.... Otherwise you are funding him about an hour of really painful torture.

This method is also described in that flight magazine on page 53 or something. Should be on the cover.
Minor nitpick, although I know what you mean, "Giving 1950s style" would need lots of qualification if you were to say it. Simple example: Women were not paid the same as men for the same work in the 1950s, and women could (and were) fired when they got married and/or pregnant. If you (the company) want to claim "we'll give you (the employees) 1950s style loyalty", be sure to expand on that.
treaties are meaningless

Are there actual treaties that have been broken through any of this? While it does seem naive to expect nations to be "trustworthy" or not to spy, breaking a formal treaty is surely another matter.
Programmers perform the same type of risk assessment that you would do managing a portfolio. A coder is exchanging their time in exchange for your money or equity. Without a doubt, there is a challenge in finding someone with the right combination of experience, availability and interest in your project. If you are trying to attract coders, try to appeal to them my minimizing their risk. An experienced coder but first time entrepreneur will be more likely to join you if you can demonstrate a history of successes, experience executing / bringing products to market, or validation that there is a market for your product.
At least 2 billion people in the world would instantly know that "Mukerjee" is not remotely a Muslim name. And yet the FBI doesn't.

That's our problem right there, at home and abroad: Total and complete lack of cultural knowledge among the (US-born, mostly white) folks in our security and military forces.

Of course, in this individual case (which does not excuse their behavior) he could have made everyone's life easier by just saying "I am not Muslim, I want a BLT" since that was obviously their suspicion.
Possibly. What would deter me is having to convince the people I communicate often to use it as well.

If it was something as simple as adding an extension to a text messaging system (much like an extension for Chrome) then I would be extremely likely to use it but I have a feeling that it would be really complicated to do that. Hope this helps!

In 20 years I expect immersive virtual reality to actually be viable and widespread. Digital experiences will be experienced in the 3D world, mostly through interactive multiplayer games with friends. Gesture control will make these experiences intuitive.

Wearable technologies will bring these virtual experiences into our real world. Constantly keeping the real world updated with your virtual experiences, and vice versa. The separation of real and virtual worlds will break down.

We've already seen this with social networking; you are interrupted in the physical world by experiences in the digital world. This trend will continue as people decide to share more media, richer experiences, and immersive 3D interaction.

The Oculus will have higher resolution and become the new norm for many digital mediums. Thalmic Myo, Fitbit, etc are all going to improve to track us and bring the physical into the digital world.

The digital landscape will diversify into richer experiences, more connectivity, and more physical tracking.

Furthermore, desktop 3D scanners will have a big impact on 3D printing in the short term, but the value in 20 years will be personalizing your digital world with the physical souvenirs and trinkets that you already own. People will soon have the ability to duplicate their physical surroundings into the digital world to show off their favorite products and memories.

Camera technologies are also improving greatly. Soon we may all have phones with 3D scanners embedded in them for augmenting photographs, better object recognition for comparison shopping, and other cool computational photography techniques. We tend to put as many technologies into our phones as we can, so the trend of 3D scanning might be more viable in 20 years.
