As a company that participated in the beta, I can unequivocally tell you that FlyWheel is legit (dench, for those of you in the know).

Designed beautifully, UXed with businesses and individuals in mind, fast, and priced right.

On top of that, the team over at Flywheel has been amazing to work with. Open to new ideas, willing to help migrate from about any other host and/or CMS, and well versed in T-shirt currency.

This product has dramatically set itself apart from the rest of the hosting world, as it relates to wordpress. If you are a designer, developer, or just somebody at home blogging about the recent episode of "Breaking Bad" (OMG, guys LAST NIGHT WAS INSANE), you should be using FlyWheel.

Honestly, unless you literally own a different hosting site, there is no reason not to be using this.

Hit me up if you want to talk about that episode from last night.

> I would guess that using PIA makes you less secure against NSA snooping since it makes you more of a target and provides weak anonymity.

So you're saying not using encryption and VPN services is a safer choice as regards Internet usage today? You seem to be going against the grain of most of what's been discussed around privacy & Internet surveillance on HN recently.

Your assumption is correct.

??? It doesn't. Unless you mean it has a different name for the active ingredient.
This is the end goal - but for the time being, it does seem aimed at tinkerers - the kind of people who already have a PC hooked up as an HTPC...
Cross-posting from one of my comments above: I know you can on the Surface Pro 1. So I don't see why you won't be able to on the Surface Pro 2. Its an x86 machine as per their own requirement, bios have to be unlocked and the ability to disable secure boot must be present.
Really, I'm more optimistic. It seems like SteamOS is just going to be a tuned distro, but marketed towards publishers and studios as a new platform. The "new platform" part makes it easier for Valve to get AAA titles on board, but I doubt Valve has the manpower or the desire to make an entirely new (incompatible) fork that damages the potential to distribute games on other platforms.

Basically, I think it's a sly way to get studios and publishers to start developing for Linux.
I'm not really into the industry - my main income is coming from working for major brands in the ("mainstream") ad industry.

I saw the service of acquaintance of mine and what revenue he's making, so I though I can do better.

Generally, in this industry there's massive shortage of talent, ideas and innovation.
This is a big opportunity for people who are delivering value in the "mainstream" startup scene and that was one of the reasons which made me try - you can get in and disrupt pretty easily if you think out of the box, which is not so hard in this context.

Most of the stuff is almost scam, the customers are threatened like idiots and technologically the year is 2002-2003.

There are people who say there's no money anymore in this industry and they're right - there's no money for people who are short on skills, ideas and execution, but there is huge potential for people who are coming from other "mainstream" industries.

My prediction is that lot of talented kids will enter this industry with great services - I see it as emerging trend at the moment.
You'd be surprised at how many don't. I have a little Windows box connected to my TV right now, with a $10 Xbox controller wireless receiver. Steam runs in Big Picture mode, and I'd say that somewhere between a third and a half of my games play great with a controller. I've been doing most of my gaming that way lately, and it's a very nice experience.
I guess they think that they know what's best for you. Either that or they want the good investments for themselves.
Yes - typical VC structure.
In-home Streaming seems to be backwards compility answer.

This means they don't start with empty plate like Android for example.

To keep cheap rig in living room for stream playing and media center, does not seem to be so bad idea. Most gaming will happen still whereever main rig is, but when you have friends over, you can just move to living room. And knowing steam(compared to others), I think it will be decently out of the box working thing.

Anyway, I support linux gaming, I would love to ditch windows at last.

I started 'The Wiki Game' by building this web game: http://thewikigame.com - but all revenue comes from the iOS apps, not the site.

I haven't heard of any such problem with HornetQ. If this was unavoidable behaviour, then it would be impossible to correctly implement the JMS specification, i think. I fear you may be mistaken, although i would be very interested to hear more about this if not.
Windows is closed source and offers some pseudo-"security" through that. Also, you can't just modify the kernel to suit your needs...
This deal is not a death knell for BlackBerry by any stretch. I'm from Waterloo and I can tell you that the general impression from the town and the people working there is very positive – they're free from the pressures of quarterly earnings calls to regroup.

Not packet latency, but total latency added by streaming the video and controller inputs over WiFi. It's not the ping itself, but the perceived delay between input and response that matters for the gamer.
Recruiting is a very hot industry right now, but be warned - I've talked to companies that are hiring fast, and they get 20+ offers a day from recruiting startups trying to offer their services.

Recruiting is needed because there is a signal vs noise for developers.

But there is also a signal vs noise for recruiters - it's a very hard industry to crack into. (AngelList is one company doing a great job here - talking to companies, it seems like AngelList talent is a fantastic resource - also Naval has talked multiple times about hiring/recruiting being a far bigger market than crowd-investing.)

Regarding the personal network hiring tool: I actually started working on this recently - it looks at Facebook connections currently, so that the person who is incentivized to be hiring can just allow an employee to Auth their FB profile, and then go and browse away.

A friend of mine is working on 'Tinder for Startup Jobs' - he's very close to done (iOS app, meteor.js web app is also almost ready), so if you would like to be swiping companies left and right and want to know when he pushes that and when I push this hiring tool, I whipped up a Google Form (as is all the rage these days).

This needs to be marketed to consumers the same way Windows was in the 90s and iOS/Android is today or else it has no chance of gaining any real... Steam.

The Linux or tech community alone will not make this happen. They need to do a Windows/iOS/Android and push this out on marketable hardware for the masses or else it will just be another niche tech product.

No cool commercials, no chance.
> OK, let's start guessing who Fairfax is :)

Why do we need to guess who they are?

They are a public company listed on teh TSX. Did we nee to guess who Google was when they put in an offer for Motorola?
Clever, and fixed.

This is what I've always kind of wondered about when reading his books. I think he has interesting ideas, but I have an extremely hard time following the math he uses to back it up. I can't help by think that it may be a put on to confuse and convince readers like myself. At least he puts his stuff out there. Reminds me a bit of Stephen Wolfram.
Another way to look at it is that we haven't worked hard enough to build tools that adequately help us either build a new intuition, or maintain the physical metaphors.

Perhaps more fundamentally, we haven't found business models to sustain the practice of thinking about digital tools in that way.
So, this means I could build a PC with SteamOS, hook it to my TV, XBox controllers and play all the same games in our living room. Am I thinking about this right?

Having a machine boot into Steam will have an interesting effect on other similar services like Origin and Desura. It will no longer be sufficient to request customers install yet another download manager/DRM platform; instead customers would have to boot in to a different OS to play their Origin games.
Fairfax Financial is run by Prem Watsa, a cautious, methodical, "value" investor who has compounded Fairfax's book value by nearly 23%/year over the past 27 years.[1] (Fairfax's stock price has gained 19%/year over the same three-decade period.) His approach and track record are similar to those of Warren Buffett earlier in his career -- i.e., not someone one should normally bet against.

If Fairfax is offering to pay $4.7 billion to acquire RIM, Mr. Watsa somehow must have convinced himself that the value of RIM's business exceeds $4.7 billion by a large margin.

However, to me Blackberry looks like a dying platform suffering from anti-network effects (that is, fewer and fewer people use it, so fewer and fewer people want or need to use it). I don't understand how he gets comfortable with that number.

>Well, that's a laissez faire doctrine for the benefit employers. In my experience (and it's a European perspective) it's not true in practice.

I don't think that's true. For most countries in Europe unemployment is high in the best of times.
They seem equivalent to me as far as the type of pain.

You can however load kernel drivers on windows and achieve pretty much the same thing.
It'd be cool if Valve incentivized contributions to open source parts of their OS through Steam. E.g. if you fix a bug you get some sort of achievement, and if you fix several bugs you get something valuable like game coupons.

I'd love to see Linux get 1st class graphics driver support from vendors. I pay as much for my Radeon card as anyone else, but the fglrx drivers STILL don't support X composite.

But other then gaming I never boot into Windows these days anyway.
Most early stage deals, like the ones you'll find on WeFunder or AngelList, typically do not have valuations or financials to share simply because it's too early on for a company to seriously offer that. Why waste time putting together financial and valuation models, when you could be working on the product and trying to grow?
I make $0/month now, but I'm working on a book ("Your First Web App", http://www.alexpcoleman.com/your-first-web-app/) and another SaaS app now to hopefully change that soon.

Weird, because before this check was introduced this morning, Konsole reported 8 colours, but rendered your git-cal correctly, using more than 8.
This is the best thing to happen to Linux since Steam came (which itself was the best thing ever).

This gives developers even more incentive to use cross platform tools, to develop on OpenGL, and to make things work with Linux.

I don't think porting is the main issue, with Linux adoption. It's always been support. You extend to another platform, you're instantly responsibly for all the tech support of your game on that platform.

IIRC, id Software pretty much had a "you're on your own" type of deal, with people using Linux. They provided the Quake binary, gave a README and some FAQs, and then you're on your own.

Likewise, Blizzard does not allow people to run World of Warcraft on platforms other than Windows and OS X. They know people run under WINE and could prevent them. But they don't. They just don't support it. It's win-win for them. More users without doing anything.

Porting is pretty easy if you target OpenGL and keep everything (sound, input) generic. SDL also works on many platforms.
Doctors, lawyers, and priests are required to turn over to the police information that's explicitly criminal. IANAL and that's not the precise criterion, but the point is that such a convention doesn't actually maintain privacy and really never has.
If you know basic arithmetic you should be able to point the flaw with that map. I'm pretty sure that this is what the NRA uses in their speeches.

Agreed. It'd be a lot more competitive if they sold the Surface Pro tablet for the same as the iPad. And have options to pay more for keyboard/3g/disk space - just like the iPad

The team behind FlyWheel is amazing! Congrats on launching a great service.
>Maybe it's just a matter of opinion, but I'm very comfortable characterizing this reply as "discounting because it's just metadata."

Perhaps. But keep in the mind the context: "nobody’s listening to the content of people’s phone calls"

The president spells out a specific concern that people are saying out loud. Is it "discounting" to disprove a specific concern by accurately characterizing the activity as something other than "listening to the content of people’s phone calls"? That he so happens to use "metadata" does not make his argument wrong or misleading. What word should he use?
I guess I am lucky that the text book still gets prescribe in some universities. I also think there is no other version of the text (I need to check that) I do not maintain it at all. And like I said, I solved most of the questions as part of the assignments and later worked out the left over ones, packaged it into a pdf.
The thing with cranks is that there is really nothing to criticize, the words just don't make any sense - terminology is misused or invented and not explained, formalism is introduced without apparent reason, established best practices for communication are not followed (like stating your objectives and conclusions from your work) and so forth. I mean, what the hell is this supposed to mean I can't even imagine:

Definition 1.

A rule is a decision-making heuristic that operates under a broad set of circumstances. Unlike a theorem, which depends on a specific (and closed) set of assumptions, it holds across a broad range of environments which is precisely the point. In that sense it is stronger than a theorem for decision-making.

This is outright nonsense, if he doesn't understand what a theorem is, how can he possibly understand Lebesgue integration and functional analysis?
TIMEZONE!

I wish they (and others) would include timezone information. I always have to second-guess if its PST, EST, GMT or something else.
I may not be hitting the points that macspoofing was trying to make, but at least in my experience, you can get much better value with a different host (like DigitalOcean or Linode) where the setup time is minimal and the performance benefits are substantial. However, if your priority isn't perfomance/dollar, then the trade-offs are subtle and insubstantial and EC2 is fine.

Take it private, do another, more aggressive round of layoffs and get down to a very core group. Then decide whether to chop it up and sell it off (patents alone are probably worth a good chunk of money). As far as I know, Blackberry has no debt, so that makes the math a bit easier.

IOS7 Adoption Rates
I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about the JOBS Act although I do think it will be interesting to see how everything develops.

But let me play devil's advocate for a moment.

From the standpoint of a founder, I know that raising small chunks of money from lots of investors is more likely to be problematic than it is likely to be beneficial. There are numerous logistical and legal downsides to this.

From the standpoint of an investor, I know that spray and pray investing rarely produces great wealth. And I would have to assume that general solicitation and the willingness to raise money from lots of investors are signals, and not necessarily good ones.

Taking both of these things into consideration, I would have to conclude that companies taking advantage of the JOBS Act to raise money are, in theory, probably going to be less attractive as investments than companies that don't have to. In other words, the JOBS Act might create more opportunities for me, but it would be foolish of me to assume that these are the same opportunities the rich and well-networked have access to.
This might be where his knowledge of the company comes from:

"On January 22, 2012, it was reported he was to be appointed to BlackBerry handset maker, Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM), board of directors in the company's largest ever corporate shakeup. Mr Watsa resigned in August 2013, but kept his investment in the company at the time."

I think you're confusing free software (e.g. Linux) with ad-supported software and services (e.g. Google).

That Google or any other ad-supported product is free is utter bullshit. There is no free lunch. Advertising simply shifts the cost of the "fee lunch" to the price of the advertised products. But with advertising, it's actually much more expensive:

Cost of thing itself +
Cost of advertising overhead +
Opportunity cost of inferior product +
Cost of our identities and privacy (as bought and sold to the highest bidders) +
Social cost of advertising

To me the last item is the most expensive of all.
It depends, but overall it might be risky if you don't pay the necessary attention.

In my case - I've kind of outsourced it, but every user submission is being reviewed before it's published.
sooo... it seems partly for emotional reasons

“We’re trying to make sure it remains in whole in Canada"

that is not a business reason

"we have every confidence it will be successful again,”

based on?

"There are no strategic players, or other technology firms, in the consortium."

so... a bunch of non technical players want to try and save a dying tech company for emotional reasons?

unless I'm missing something it might seem like a good idea to run away from that deal and fairfax at a pretty good speed.

i mean blackbeerry just announced hilarious losses for q2, dropped 4500 staff and just announced "pulling out of the consumer market to focus on enterprise"... it seems they are deeply failing to learn from the lessons of the iphone 7 years ago now. they always were a more enterprise phone and that was still not enough to save them from being cannibalized first from iphone and now android. hell even now windows phones makes better sense because it will tie in with your windows outlook, etc infrastructure better in your standard microsoft office.

am I missing something? thoughts?
As a person who has spent his professional career developing games all over the world, I would say that part of it is that there are fewer competing industries drawing away talent in Sweden. Games are one of thoese things you can do almost anywhere if you can get the right art, design and tech talent together. In the US you have a strong film and television industry, a lot of tech companies and start ups, driving up the demand for talent. In Sweden you have less of that.
Let's be clear, Fairfax 'buying' BlackBerry given Prem Watsa was on BB's board is akin to saying Dell was 'sold' to Michael Dell.
Rosetta worked pretty well.
