30x500 teaches two things: 1) How to uncover real problems that people are wiling to pay you to resolve 2) How to speak to those people in words they can understand (like 30x500.com speaks to people who don't know what to build).

The classes are live, but are basically just a series of pre-recorded videos that you watch along with your classmates and have limited time to discuss afterwards. Nearly everything done outside of that class (if you choose to pay extra) is an automated series of emails that you work on alone.

The teachers (Amy & Alex) are night and day. Amy is the ringleader. She is very pig-headed and will not tolerate ideas that do not fall inline with hers. She is quick to belittle people in front of the entire class and has zero patience. Alex is very helpful, easy-going, and open to exploring all ideas. Both seem to be extremely busy outside of the 30x500 world (with other businesses, vacations, and/or personal activities), so don't expect much interaction with them outside of the live classes. They are quick to respond up until the point where you've paid. But, their interest drops off pretty steeply after that point.

Is this a scam? No. But, it's not a silver bullet either. It does teach a few important concepts that are probably not so obvious to many people. The real trick is figuring out how to apply them yourself.

I think this class would be best delivered as an eBook -- since the teachers seem to want to fully automate most of it anyhow. I'm guessing live classes have more money-making potential though.

Note: I took this class in February. Amy kicked me out mid-course for no apparent reason (she would not respond to me, so I really don't know). I had to contact my credit card company to dispute the charge and get a refund. The little bit of knowledge that I did gain was surely not worth the time, money, or hassle involved. Buyer beware.

I see you've been downvoted.. thankfully. If you would watch that video, which I reluctantly did... because I want to make sure that I'm speaking from the right position, then you would see that in the beginning of that there were 2 men with AK-47s in the open plus one with an RPG. Notice throughout they were verifying that weapons were present. Its a terrible tragedy that any innocent people died in that sequence of events as there appears to be 2 journalists that had. But they were not TARGETED EVEN WHEN KNOWN OR THOUGHT TO BE INNOCENT. Notice that they wouldn't even take a kill shot on the injured journalist (which they had no idea he was) until they could verify that he was going to pick up a weapon! So while it is tragic, I don't see how that video proves that was are purposely targeting innocent people.

VCs and the entrepreneurs who work with them have made themselves wealthy in large part through starting companies which ultimately get acquired. This includes many of their investments that IPO but get acquired later on.

This situation does not seem to me to be incompatible with the dominance of older firms discussed in the article - the ones doing most of the acquiring.

>You have to realize that our theoretical tools are very weak. Sometimes, we have good mathematical intuitions for why a particular technique should work. Sometimes our intuition ends up being wrong [...] The questions become: how well does my method work on this particular problem, and how large is the set of problems on which it works well.

I'm not very familiar with this field. Has anyone made any progress on formalizing ways to measure the capabilities of intelligent systems? If the theory is weak, there must be someone working on improving it, right?
"If large incumbents didn't have broad software patents to bury start-ups, they would use their market coverage." I'm not sure what you mean by market coverage but if you mean their incumbent product then that's exactly what a startup usually seeks to disrupt (successful or not this is the challenge the startup is taking on anyway).

"If they don't use that, then they can just use their connections to the government to legislate start-ups out of existence." In a way this is exactly what the current patent system accomplishes. Except it's through litigation, not legislation (but it's legislation allowing for the grounds of litigation).

"If they don't use that, they can just buy the property the start-up physically occupies and burn it to the ground." Now you're just being absurd.

"Gigantic, established companies will always have an edge, regardless of patents. Abolishing the system and creating a wild-west scenario is ridiculous." What we have now is a wild-west scenario where submarine patents and overly broad patents allow trolls (and even practicing entities looking to squash competition) can simply litigate at will and the costs of defending overwhelm their competition (unless they're equally large or play the same game with cross licensing patents).
Tinderoid – Tinder on Steroids (mass liker) – FREE on iOS
A new Free App has hit the Apple App Store this week which proves to make everyone's dating life a lot easier.

Meet Tinderoid - Tinder on Steroids.

Tinderoid works with the Tinder App to bring many much sought after features that are currently lacking in the official Tinder App.

They include the ability to view ALL of your results at the same time on one screen. Followed by the best part, you can "Like" them all with one tap! No more mass swiping needed.

For the pickier people, you can also select only certain profiles and use the "Like Selected" button.

The app description says it is free for a limited time; so grab it while you can!

Happy Hooking Up!
Why is there a split between Toronto and SF?
Interesting concept. I work closely/within that industry, and I'm interested, just not fully sure how you will accomplish what you want. As a member of the metro-Detroit ASAM work group we tried to push for a more general On Board standardization for fleet management, and a very vocal minority of the industry is against that.

Doesn't this limit your market?

I sent you an email hopefully we can get in touch.
SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I'm looking for a part time Ruby/Rails developer to support me with multiple projects. Technologies used are Rails, ActiveAdmin, Locomotive CMS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. HTML/HAML, CSS and JavaScript knowledge is important too but all the HTML and CSS is done by myself. At the moment the tasks are smaller feature extensions but towards the next year new projects are feasible too. Additionally I'm working on a Docker orchestration software and it would be nice if you're interested in such topics too (Docker, Consul, PaaS, orchestration, DevOps, infrastructure as code, ...)

Location doesn't really matter but I would prefer a similar time zone. I'm based in Europe, Germany.

Nope. I think its hardware emulation. The DS games run on one of the processors. I think its the processor that runs the system OS, which is why you can't just back out of a DS game into the main menu, you have to quit the game. Also the reason why you don't get street passes when you play DS games.
Cubist Media Group
Job: Manager of Interactive Services

We're looking for someone who has experience in project management but also knows how to code for the web. Primarily Javascript, HTML, PHP and *SQL. Working knowledge of Objective-C and Sharepoint are a plus but not necessary.

Responsibilities will include putting together proposals for clients based on their needs and our availability, writing code to get the job done.

We also have an iPad app MtgWorks which is used for corporate theatre events which you will help to maintain and shape the future of it.

At Cubist, you will work with a talented group of designers, video editors, developers and project managers, who tackle each assignment with passion and enthusiasm.

We offer a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including heath insurance, profit sharing, paid time-off, and a 401(k) plan.

Travel may be required from time to time so a valid passport and ability to travel is necessary. We're a small shop but we have clients all over the world and sometimes we are required to travel.

MeetMe - New Hope, PA

We're a leader in social discovery, just raised a bunch of additional capital: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/meetme-prices-10-million-publi...

and hit a big milestone in daily user numbers: http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2014/07/30/meet...

I'm a Sr. Android dev here, and while I was initially skeptical based on the website, I was quickly convinced that this is a fantastic place to work, grow, and see your ideas valued.

We're always looking for Android and iOS devs who know their stuff and stay current. Our respective mobile teams have 7 members apiece, and we have about a 1:1 QA to dev ratio. Our structure is pretty flat, so while we do have Product, Design, database, etc teams, developers who are comfortable batting ideas around flourish here.

The core MeetMe app is our bread and butter, but we also do hackathons and build experimental apps to test the marketplace waters. Salary is top-notch for the northeast. Very chill office environment, free gym membership, bring your dog in, stocked kitchen, that kind of deal.And New Hope is a fantastic town for afternoon walks and Starbucks runs.

Of course, we've all been hacked by the NSA and others, but outside of state actors:

Many years before dropbox, my brother wanted to send me some photos, but couldn't tell me his IP address - otherwise I would have restricted the clients to there. I went ahead and turned on an FTP server and an account for him on my home "server", and told iptables to let anything into that, then forgot to turn it off when he was finished.

The FTP server turned out to have a bug which allowed unauthenticated access, and someone started running the eggdrop IRC server on my system, were using /dev/shm as their home directory and who knows what else.

I'm not aware of any other non-state sponsored violations of my personal computing resources.
One quick and relatively easy win is logging IP addresses of historical logins or attempts. It's quite easy then to look for patterns that are skewed in a strange way. It's hard to automate but extremely valuable for human intervention. In the case of ecommerce it's a bit easier since you can flag "good" accounts potentially and use that to weigh the analysis. In the case of simple account creation it's hard since you can't really ever call an account "good" necessarily except perhaps with a long usage history.

In the past we took down botnets this way - most low to mid-grade fraudsters had a limited # of IP addresses (probably multiple PCs or such in a cafe or call centre environment) so it was fairly easy to look at all accounts that had been created from that block of IP addresses (or created elsewhere but had repeated logins from these IPs) and then sanity check by looking at quality of the accounts to see whether non-fraud had happened. I suppose in the case of S.S. their data is quite robust across multiple sites.
>Android

It depends on how you do it. If you use the local app storage, it's protected via the OS. Only the App itself can read/write from it.

If you use "USB Storage" then the data is stored on the sd card or equivalent. Any other app with the USB Storage permission can read or write to that directory and it's very much not secured.

As for interfacing with other apps to "autocomplete" your password, there are permissions and ways to do that too, although I can't speak for them since I've never done it.
Just use KeePassX.

Cost is zero, available on all platforms that you care about, and it's a stable format. What more do you want?

Cleartext cloud storage is a no-no. Browser integration from my POV is really dangerous as well... trying to keep secrets using the most widely attacked platform out there sounds like an exercise in futility.

About me:

I have a B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia. My major was computer science.

I am a recent graduate/entry level/junior candidate. I have taken some time off since graduating to help with a family health issue, but have used the opportunity to improve my skills both professionally and in my hobbies.

I have made code available for both personal and school projects on my website.

My HN alias is a pseudonym. Upon contact, I can make myself available through email, irc, and phone. Please include a little about the opportunity when making contact. I will reply in either case, but if I wouldn't feel comfortable in the roll I will let you know quickly.

Please only contact me if you're looking for an entry level/junior developer. Within reason, I'm willing to prove my skills in some manner outside of the normal interview process. I'm looking for experience of any kind, from short-term contract work to full time employment.
