This is an iterative update from Go away Cameron (http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1tb5fu/uk_go_awa...), a bypass tool that was built in response to Cameron's UK porn ban.

What was previously a proxy bypass, is now a secure proxy. It uses SPDY to encrypt your web traffic even in non-https sites, and tunnels your traffic around an anonymous proxy.

Another problem with this theory is the plane followed precise navigational way points. It was not flying randomly / chaotically the entire time.
What's the advantage over Zillow? It seems to have less properties. The contact info doesn't really matter to me much, since I will almost surely have a buyer's agent who will just look the MLS data up.
I don't understand, it seems like researchers have to pay to enter and then are only given the funding if successful, that's not exactly funding R&D, more of a contest. It seems really strange that Russia would be offering this kind of bounty in effort to improve the program's security, don't they know how many activists and dissidents use it. Is the sole reason to aid their own spies?

They should just provide funds on a site such as https://hackerone.com/

I really wish the US government would offer bounties for their sites and systems. Right now if people try to exploit a US government system, even if they have the intention to properly disclose the vulnerability they face prosecution.
Unfortunately, I'm still having an issue with this.

ownCloud is a great project. We use it in our organization across all client machines.

That being said: I've found it very difficult to contribute to the project.
I've had multiple pull requests languish for months. Currently, there are 10 open pull requests that have not been touched by the devs in months (some are from January and earlier).

However: don't let that stop you from trying to contribute! :)

No, most Tesla SUV drivers will not go off road. The Model X is a "crossover" SUV with very limited off-road capability. You can tell in photos: its ground clearance is low and it doesn't have large suspension travel. It's going to take sales from the Lexus RX, Mercedes M-Class, BMW X series, etc. Nobody takes those cars off-road.

I used to share your disdain for SUVs until I dated someone who drove one. They can be really useful for carrying cargo and the smaller ones get decent fuel economy.

That said, I think a lot of SUV buyers are motivated by fear. They feel that collisions are inevitable so they want to drive a big armored box. They want 4WD even here in the Southern USA where it snows 2 days per year. I think a lot of them have kids and it's one more part of the protective worrying parent mentality.

Personally I can't stand the handling of tall vehicles.
I have actually signed up for several in my area while making this post.
So, you are saying, if the NYT did not allow casual use, then you would be fine paying for it, but the fact that it allows you to check out the site 5-10 times/month for free, means that you are not okay paying for it.

Have you considered that if you are reading the site so often that you need to keep killing your cookies, that you perhaps might be getting some value from the site, and it wouldn't be unreasonable for you to to reward the creators of such great content?
From the site: "Musicians you love listen to what you like" ... "Their favourite tracks become your personal radio..."
> The Model 3 has potential to shift the whole market if they can provide a practical electric family car for the average people living in suburban areas.

I actually don't think the target audience is families living in suburban areas. That's not the target audience of the BMW 3 series or Benz C class. I think their target audience is young professionals who can't afford a car that quickly costs over $100k but care about driving a practical, electric, professional car.
Well, TOR was originally developed by the US Naval Research Lab for the purpose of securing government comms.

Did anyone else find "Musicians you love listen to what you like" pretty difficult to digest?

There's probably a more user friendly way to say that. Cool idea though.
I believe there are other ways:

And you should probably avoid situations where you suddenly need config objects in 'random places'. This could be a symptom of chaotic API design. But then again, whatever works for you.

Ask HN: West Coast vs. East Coast Startup Differences?
I'm planning a move to the Bay Area soon from the DC area and am juggling a bunch of startup opportunities.

This open-ended question is probably for a startup person who has relocated from one coast to the other. What do you notice differently about startup founders, startup employees, and the general (non-tech related) public living in the area?

I'm interested in knowing more about the mindset, cultural and behavioral differences that struck you as dissimilar.
I like this concept, but you need some sort of automated filtering. My first track (because hypem liked it) is a cat purring.

Plug but it's a useful one: run the tracks through the SCAnalyzer http://labs.echonest.com/SCAnalyzer/index.html and filter for speechiness and duration. If you get a SO ID, you'll also know the artist via fingerprinting and you can do more filtering at that level.
"anycast does not route to the geographically nearest datacenter but the topologically nearest."

That is correct, and as you point out in a later comment -- in roughly perhaps 85-90% the geographic route and the topological route will be identical and ideal. In the other 10-15% cases some additional network engineering can be done to work with a problem ISP to correct the less than ideal routing for a customer.

Complaining about the review process is complaining about human nature. Is a normal user going to find you site, find your contact form, and then send a nice email to you asking for their language? No. There are things that Apple could change, that may or may not help. Adding the ability to respond to reviews might help the developer feel better.

What developers need to do is make it easier for a user to give feedback, than it is for a user to leave a review. Give them a way to vent to you, and they might not vent in a review.

Is this easy? No. Does it work? Yes.
Isn't the MLS run by the real estate agents that RedFin is trying to disrupt?

>They depend on real estate agents manually inputting their listings into the Zillow/Trulia platforms

Are you sure that Zillow isn't just scraping the MLS data from broker sites?
Or you use the SUV to carry your kids and stuff around. An SUV is bigger and more comfortable than most cars.
- Easier to fit car seats and people in
- Seats 8 (as opposed to 5) on the rare occasion that you want to
- Has four wheel drive, so handles better in the snow
- Has a trailer hitch for your bike rack, which is more convenient than trunk mounted ones.
- A roof rack for sheet goods
- Enough cargo space for suitcases, moving, or a trip to the home center

You can get by with a smaller car, but the SUV form factor provides lots of capability, which is nice to have whenever you want it.

I've got one sedan (an Accord) and an SUV (a Pilot), both have their place.
Awesome. Already found a bunch of cool tracks. Follow lobsterdust for some cool mashups.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? The discussion here is about whether the content owner should make a polite request to the creator of an infringing app rather than filing a takedown notice with Google. Google's lack of support is legendary, but not relevant.
Fast Linux Deployment Toolkit (FLDT) is a project that was originally created by a high-school student and was adapted for use in our school district.

Lots of things could maybe 'transform health'. But big claim, need big proof. Correlation does not equal causation. This was an examination of 12 people. Need a real trial.
That's not extra evidence, because they were only testing the DNA of people whose cell phones were in the area. Thus the probability that the suspect's cell phone was in the area is always going to be exactly 1.

Our demand is such that even with our fee, we still run at near max capacity.

Most of our clients hold similar deals with other recruiting agencies and are happy to pay such a price for this talent.

As we expand, we look forward to offering our recruiting service in more locales and at prices that make sense for the businesses there.
It's an example case from a customer of the database vendor. I'm unlikely to find anything better until after people start playing around with the open source version.

>> "I want to support these sites but they are too expensive"

I've been thinking about this a bit recently. Back before these sites were free online we picked the publication we liked and purchased it. We didn't need to read every publication and someone who chose to read the NYT was informed on the same world events as someone who read the WSJ. Then the internet came along and we read bits of everything for free. Now we have to go back to the old model it feels strange - but it shouldn't. Whether you chose to subscribe to and read the NYT or WSJ doesn't matter. You'll get the same information each with it's own slant. Same as before. You aren't going to miss anything. The publications need to convince consumers that this is ok and they don't need to be checking 10 different publications each day. Whether they can do that or not is another thing (short attention spans appear to be a big and growing problem) but I've definitely tried to pare down the number of sites I read and subscribe to and I've tried to focus on the best sources rather than 10 almost identical stories with slight variations. I've found it freeing.

Well, remember that you're paying by the mile or minute. Unless you want to rack up additional charges, I'd suggest asking for either the shortest or fastest route.

That's why I don't like the preferred route question. Do I want to pay more for a longer trip? No.
About two years ago I got a contract to work on one project that needed to integrate a web service with a mobile app that was using Parse. I looked into the client libraries and the current one for Python was lacking. David Robinson[1] forked it and was trying to revive it somewhat[2]. I got to take a good look at the things I thought were missing and were needed to my project, and started submitting patches.

David is super open to new contributors and no contribution is too small. "Real work" stops me nowadays to contribute some more, but I sure know how good it would be to have a couple of more people focused on completing feature-parity with the API.

So then install it via CPAN, or via your OS package manager.
Collabfinder is another service to find collaborators.

I tried Cofounderslab.com, Collabfinder and did not find the quality people I was looking for.

Perhaps not surprisingly, HN yielded a much higher level of potential collaborators/co-founders. I spoke with a few folks on here and am impressed. Most prefer working with someone in person.

Many Universities nowadays have plenty of resources to the prospective Entrepreneur. Check out the local business schools to see if they host open innovation days.

If you are looking for contractors to help, ODesk and Elance surprised me with some pretty high quality people, but you have to sift through a lot of applications.

>when I first saw Zillow I remember thinking "who needs real estate agents if you have all this?" Then I got an agent to buy my first house. All I have to say is "you do not know, what you do not know."

Absolutely seconded. I rather extremely underestimated the entire process, and was very lucky to have a college friend of mine as a professional real estate agent.

Slight sidetone:

The reaction to this comment is really depressing. Obviously exDM69 means 'perfect' in a certain context. IE, does being electric make an SUV better at being an SUV and doing the things that the people who own SUVs, own them for. The comments and voting can't help but be all about how people feel about SUVs in general.
First, your search is different from what it would be in the corporate theater. In the corporate world, you're either looking for mentors who are 5+ years ahead of you (i.e. better than you at what you want to do) or subordinates to offload grunt work (sorry, I mean "delegate") to. With co-founders, you're looking for complements, not people on the same track. It might be hard to swallow your ego and look for someone with a radically different skill set, especially given the non-meritocracy of business co-founder value (which is 90% connections, 10% innate ability). But it's what you need to do.

Rule 1: Code or Contacts. Hire (at the early stage) only if the person brings something in either department that no one else can do. Most "business co-founders" can't bring funding on an idea. You don't need them, if they can't. Business co-founders are naturally going to end up with a lot of power and you can't afford the slot for a guy who can't make it rain with minimal initial effort (save your effort for building) on your part. You need a guy with the contacts to solve the funding problem, so you can focus on building the product.

Your third co-founder ("the dragon has three heads") should be a crack technologist. Someone even better than you, if you can find him, and not a friend of the business co-founder. If you have two business guys and one technologist, you're not going to have a tech company and they (along with investors) will be calling the shots. In general, you want someone who will push back on technical matters where getting it right is more important than personally winning but always take your side on the political stuff, where the reverse is true.

Once you've established this "initial three" (or 4, if the technical problem merits it) you can hire more business people, but only for defined roles (accounting, business development) and anyone who tries to turn one of your initial team against the rest is fired immediately.

Don't hire a PM until you're at 30 people. "Product" people become necessary when you're hiring second-string engineers. First-stringers PM their own work.
Yes. It would work. We are very focused on phone numbers but we have a big and growing email address database.
"A database literally ten times faster than existing NoSQL solutions, and one hundred times faster than existing SQL solution".

The odds of that claim being true and/or supported by benchmarks is somewhere well below the 1% mark. Why do companies keep making those sort of obviously questionable claims knowing the negative backlash that surely will follow. Boggles the mind really.
Now this is pretty cool. It's amazing how good some of the maps from the 1870s were.
The explanation I was given was that the binding energy of the quarks in a proton is greater than the energy it takes to create a new set of quarks. So before you can pump enough energy into a proton to split it, you've pumped enough energy in for new quarks to appear, and you end up with two particles but no naked quarks.
FullContact also offers searching by Phone Number. Its not very good though. How is your's better?
>Nothing particularly wrong but just odd the innovation stays on the iOS / android areas

I think this is one of those "correlation != causation" times. There is nothing that is more innovation conducive about iOS/Android vs Windows Phone (or Tizen, etc...), it's just where the people happen to be. If Palm/WebOS had caught on like wild fire instead of the iPhone you'd be asking why the innovation stays there and the iOS app store is relegated to knock offs and trend chasing.
I agree Google support is awful, but if I'm reading this correctly, he named one of his apps "Vice TV." He sounds pretty naive if he thinks he can get away with that. I don't buy it either. I think he intentionally played dumb.
I've just delete. Sorry!
The fee varies by state, but generally is 6-7%. It's split by the buying and selling agent.

You definitely need an agent to sell a house. Because no other agents will show your house if you do a fsbo (for sale by owner). In fact, agents will actively discourage their customers from buying your house, even if they offer to pay the agent their half of the commission.

If you are buying a house. The main thing is they can open the doors of other agent listed houses and show them to you.

They have a tightly closed network, and it's held in place by laws. The NRA (national association of realtors) has a strong political lobby.

Here is a good run down of the situation on 60 minutes. It's old (2007 before bust) but not much has changed.

"So why don't you do so and come back with your own results that can at least pretend to be neutral instead of spreading empty hype around here?"

I don't own a computer, unless you count the smartphone I carry in my pocket. I somewhat suspect I'm in the minority on this on a site like HN.
Since you brought it up in your quote, I should clarify that I agree with the person who said that insulting a piece of software is not the same as insulting the person who created it, not even "indirectly".

That said, my own argument had nothing to do with "what counts as an insult", whether Linus being non-insulting on the GCC bug tracker "cancels out" what he said on the kernel mailing list, etc., etc. I was simply pointing out that the fact that Linus was not insulting when he posted the bug on the GCC bug tracker indicates that he had a genuine intention to help get the bug fixed. (The GCC bug tracker thread makes it clear that the GCC developers recognized that too.)

In other words, I (like the other commenters I referred to) was focusing on whether or not Linus was actually trying to help or not, and what actually got accomplished as a result of his raising the issue. You are focusing on what kind of language he used and where, whether it was "kind", whether "kind" language in one place "cancels out" insulting language in another place, etc., regardless of the substance of what does or does not get accomplished. I was not making any claim whatever about the questions you raise.
Lets not get into the car analogies here. Please.

I don't see how wrapping that content is/was different from what Firefox does - except that firefox allows you to go to more than one webpage.

This is, in my mind, a separate issue from impersonating a company.
All the sources refer the same government requisition for a "performing the scientific research, code "TORUS/Fleet". The details should be available for people who chose to participate and foreign nationals are specifically banned from participation.

With the Russian word for torus being "тор" which could be transliterated as "tor" I see why people might get excited. But I'd like to see something more concrete than word play to support the news articles' theory.
I've seen two explanations for why the US government gives money to the Tor Project. One reason is to support dissidents in countries like China. Another is that US agents use Tor, but that the network requires a degree of popularity in order for agents to "hide" in it.
Google's 'normal' support is horrendous and it takes forever to get someone to even pretend to help you. We had a paying google app engine account for our company... I've dealt with them, and it`s a pain to say the least.

No intelligence company would pay for it if it were publicized they had paid for it. It's more useful to keep quiet and let people think Tor is still anonymous.
Very similar here in the city of Saint Louis, Mo, but I don't really blame them.

The change in house prices block by block in many places can go from 20-30K to 300K to 800K depending on whether the block has been restored or are old burned out 100 year homes. Also, crime levels can change quite a bit in a one mile radius.
They know real estate the way most people do not. The analogy here would be trying to write a giant enterprise piece of software you plan on supporting for the next 10-30 years without the benefit of any experience as a developer.

On a practical level, they can generally guide you through the very intense process of lining everything up to buy a property (this process takes months, and a whole lot of phone calls and paperwork). They know prices, and can tell you what something is worth. They can spot problems with the property before you get a (very expensive) inspector on site. They help you negotiate and buffer you from the seller and the seller's agent. This is particularly valuable since a good deal can go bad because personalities clash. They help you find professionals to work with (attorney, bank, inspector, etc.) if you want them to (all of these are up to you, but if it's all the same to you, then they generally have good suggestions).
It's likely from the marketing team, not the engineering team. That doesn't mean the product itself cannot be solid.
