I want to help young entrepreneurs be more effective
A couple of months ago, I created a Facebook page called Young Entrepreneur Meetup. I had an initial group of about 100 people, all
Of whom were eager to organize into groups, have Skype discussions, and build startups. Turns out, it was hard to get people organized. So I created C Meetup to organize passionate groups of young entrepreneurs so that we can all make connections, build startups, and help each other learn.

The point is it doesn't go to the internet, it just sets up an alias to your local machine.

This is useful when you want to have several different virtual hosts on your machine, all of which would otherwise be called "localhost".
The Future of Web Design in a Post-Form Era
It's significantly easier just to add a 127.0.0.1 record to your hosts file.
I signed up (ack) and replied with some of the UI bugs/issues that I found.
There are different ways to recognize content from images. For example, "template matching" is just one technique for finding small parts of an image which match a template image. Imo, it is very handy even for recognizing UI elements and graphics resized and/or rotated in different form.
It seems that the Supreme Court took issue with the fact that Aereo operated not only the hardware, but also the DVR software (with similar functionality to that offered by the cable companies) that transmitted the copyrighted performance to subscribers. I wonder whether it would be legal to offer nothing but VMs in the cloud that happened to have a tuner attached, and let a separate company sell DVR software that records the TV show and transmits it privately. There must be some line between renting out one’s hardware and infringing copyright; Aereo just went a bit too far.
An up-front and prominent disclosure could also color my perception in the author's favor, and I'd be more inclined to give higher credence to author's arguments.
>Which others?

The Martian (Andy Weir), Mind's Eye (Douglas Richards), and Wool/Shift/Dust (Hugh Howey, set quite a bit in the future, but the story started (chronologically) in with near-future sci-fi)

I haven't read Kill Decision yet, I've heard mixed reviews. The thing I loved most about Daemon and The Martian is that it's all completely plausible that these things could happen in my lifetime. Hell, they could happen right now if someone was willing to put forth the money. Nothing is particularly outlandish or impossible.

I'll have to check out your suggestions, thanks. It's my favorite genre, but I struggle to find worthwhile books in that genre.
>If people are asking/begging for the tool to be open sourced, then they do indeed value it. Otherwise, why would they care if it just withered and died?

If we are talking about a start up, what about current clients? Maybe your business could not be sustained by the number of clients you had, they do find value in but they can not by themselves sustain your business.
You can trivially farm data that people are sending to their local apps by having DNS occasionally change to an IP you own (and then immediately back, to avoid detection). On that IP, you would have something that remembers the parts of the request that might be interesting (query parameters, body) and return a benign-looking error (just severing the connection without a response would probably do it). At the very least, you'd probably get some email/pass pairs that work on a few major sites.
I still like the StarRotor[1] better. No reciprocating, no problems with seals (which are a big problem/weakness in Wankel-types; rather unadressed in TFA). Biggest problem for StarRotor is that all the manufacturing chains are already super-optimized for existing engine designs and don't much care to experiment.

Not sure why you are getting down-voted. I agree 100%. If we are going to discuss conflicts of interest, we should start with the fact that BuzzFeed's entire business model centers on getting the most page views in the shortest period of time they possibly can.
That is not "time travel" in any usual sense.
Control of any name server used by the CA to resolve your hostname would be enough. That could be either the CAs DNS, any resolver in between (e.g. something like Google's Public DNS, which hopefully no real CA is using) or the authoritative name server of the domain. That is, unless you use DNSSEC.
What It Was Like to Report Sexual Harassment and Rape in the 1980's
>People shouldn't be attacked for what they say.

> My idea of free speech is a society where people are not afraid to speak their mind.

Aren't the people doing the 'attacking' (assuming you're being metaphorical and I've not missed an account of a physical assault), also simply speaking their mind?

Edit: Just a note that this isn't specific to this case, but the general notion that you can say what you want without being criticized seems to actually limit the speech of others.
Now I understand. Thanks for the info!
Helpful Bash Scripts for Working with Byte Arrays and Hex (in Bitcoin)
I understand what you're saying, but it's not intuitive (for me, at least) to map variable in-app purchases to a fixed monthly expense model.
Does systemd increase the security of the OS or reduce it? For example, does it allow currently-separated processes to dip into each others' memory space? I would appreciate a birds-eye view from someone familiar with the security ramifications of systemd.

Would not the incorporation of many loosely-coupled but individually secure mechanisms into a single monolithic mechanism be useful to an entity whose purpose was to monitor communications, view/modify systems unbeknownst to sysadmins and users, etc.? Yes, I'm talking about the NSA et al. I reference the following which also brings up Red Hat's control of Linux:

For each project listed, are 100% of profits distributed through app coins? Or does the owner of the project decide what percent of profits to share with the assembly community. It would be nice to see what this percentage is.
That seems overly cynical. Licensing is a perfectly valid business model, and it's becoming increasingly relevant as large companies do more outsourcing of R&D.
Oh, man. A Tandy 1000 was the first "real" computer I ever had, as a kid. (An original 1000, with no hard drive, just two 5.25" 360K floppy drives. Two floppies! Luxury!) Brings back memories just thinking about it...

For those too young to have encountered one, the 1000 was probably the most popular of a wave of mid-'80s PCs that could be described as "kinda sorta nearly almost IBM-compatible." Meaning that they offered software compatibility with MS-DOS and the original IBM PC, but with some slight differences, usually put in place in an attempt by the manufacturer to differentiate their product from IBM's.

In the case of the 1000, these features were mostly swiped from another IBM product, the ill-fated PCjr (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PCjr). So unlike the IBM PC, the Tandy 1000 included joystick ports, 16-color graphics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_Graphics_Adapter) and 3-voice sound.

This happened to make it an excellent machine to play PC games on for many years, as game developers who added Tandy support to their titles could offer a much enhanced presentation that wouldn't be matched by mainline IBM-compatible machines until EGA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter) support became widespread.

My father bought the 1000 as a home business machine, but it didn't take long for me to discover its excellence as a game machine, and that in turn became the gateway drug that got me into programming. So I guess I owe Radio Shack something.
Editing /etc/hosts isn't exactly rocket science. If you're a developer anyway.
Hm, I didn't realize that. I'm using it on a Rails 4 project and haven't had any problems.
This data makes a mockery of your anectdotal evidence. The odds of me being exposed to violence on a tour of a prison are virtually nil. It does not follow that prison violence is virtually nil.
Understood. And thank you for following up, I really do appreciate it.
Better yet, just: http://angular.js
It is generally more difficult to edit a hosts file on a phone or tablet or on your non-technical coworker's computer. xip.io is useful for these situations.

And if your IP address changes, surely it is more of a pain to edit the hosts file again on these several other phones/tablets/computers than to just send a new link.

Excellent observations and even better suggestions, thank you!
sk5t was talking about setting up a private DNS server, not editing /etc/hosts.
This hack is for development only i.e, testing something on your phone that is hosted on your dev machine, all inside your local network.
Or, if you have your own domain, set up a wildcard in your DNS, which could be external (I use cloudflare - free and reliable).

Example:

I own rikk.us and want to be able to set up many websites on a few machines with my network, so:

I point ✱.l.rikk.us to my laptop and now I can set up as many websites as I like on my laptop, so long as they have a binding matching ✱.l.rikk.us, and have them all work just as if they were on separate hosts.

This allows me to make testsite1.l.rikk.us, testsite2.l.rikk.us, oh.bugger.i.broke.it.l.rikkus.us, etc.

✱ Sorry for the heavy asterisks but I don't know how to write a normal one without it triggering <em>
>>> Your comment made me think about something I was missing: ROI. I don't state in the home page that this service will help increase their sales! Silly me!

ROI doesn't have to be an increase in sales. It could be increased efficiency (thus lowering the customers labor costs).

There are lots of sub-categories, such as a marketing ROI. But those sub-categories can always be classified as either lower cost or increased sales.

>>> Your insight is very interesting. I cannot tell exactly my total cost because I'm missing some parameters (maintenance, working on additionnal features, some potential future hires, etc).

Best thing to do is guess. If you hire 2 additional engineers and a marketing specialist, you could forecast an additional $325k in labor every year. Add in your salary, so arbitrary number, lets say you have $450K in labor each year, tack on space rent server costs and other costs at a guesstimate. This'll tell you the minimum costs you are going to have in a year, divide that by a price, and that tells you how many customers you'll need to break even. Or you can divide costs by an expected number of customers and get your price.
That seems like a very extreme view of intellectual property. "Intellectual property rights should be so strong that you can retroactively censor data you made freely available."
We have something very similar at our workplace. *.l.tsl.io resolves to localhost. We usually use it to test hostnames[1] on our django projects on the the local developeent server. Definitely beats having to add a lot of records to /etc/hosts.

[1]: http://django-hosts.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
AFAIK /etc/hosts doesn't support wildcards, which means you have to edit it every time you want a new virtual host.
Tips for raising a Series B

Now, that is a serious pet peeve of mine, especially when things break later because people forgot they modified their hosts file.
This looks like another .lvh.me Although it's nice to have a backup.

I've found this invaluable when testing subdomains. Each of our accounts gets their own subdomain and testing that is a huge pain with a hosts file (need to explicitly map each one).

The wildcard nature of .til.io or .lvh.me is key.

The only issue I've noticed with 192.168.1.101.xip.io is that if your server code splits domains on dots and expects things to be in the "nth" place then things can go wrong (cough cough Rails).

The other thing this is super useful for is testing subdomains locally from a mobile device.
If you are using OSX try to use virtualhost.sh, it,a available in Brew and makes adding new vhost quick and easy
It resolves at least to that for now. Until someone forgets to pay the bill (for various reasons), runs out of money in their bank account to keep it up or whatever reason there might be.

Then devs around the globe scramble to find out what data might have been leaked and to whom.
I'm a personal friend of Nicole and it didn't strike me as odd. She doesn't have a dishonest bone in her body, really. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even register that people might find her prior friendship to be a conflict of interest.

Not saying it wouldn't have been helpful up front, but the message is still valid IMO. Understandably I'm a bit biased for the author, but I'm also not the biggest Uber fan so if that helps...
Yes – 100% of profits are distributed to the community based on App Coins. The person who initially submits the product has ownership just like everyone else, and gets paid that way.
The Lego Logo kit in school was my first introduction to robotics: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/20...

Before that, I played around with BASIC, but was only moderately interested in programming. But as an 8 year-old seeing a set of lego blocks come to life with just a few simply commands was truly life-changing experience!

Looking at today's Mindstorm, it's just amazing how far things have come!
I've also used xip.io (a similar service) when testing a web application that did multi-tenancy via subdomains.
Good point. What is the systemd approach to embedded systems in general?
Aereo was great when I used it. I even tried applying to work there because I was super interested in their service. I only had one bad experience and it was trying to watch the SuperBowl using Aereo. It wasn't bad but wasn't great (freezing,buffering,slow speeds on a fios Connection) . I completely understood that it was a big national event and didn't hold it against them. It probably wasn't even their fault but their bandwidth providers was probably being hammered also.Unfortunately, because of that I ended up canceling and getting Fios TV.Mainly,because I hosted a Superbowl part at my house and everyone was upset at the stream so I ended up getting Fios TV that way for future events/parties I didn't have to worry about a buffer or people being upset again. Regardless I love what they stood for and used the service a lot when I had it. It's sad there's no real alternative.
Well, www.til.io doesn't, for a start.
Designing a CPU is very difficult and building one is very difficult, so this works for ARM.

But engines are not like that, there's little money in the design - there are tons of designs, they are interchangeable for the most part and one is only slightly better than another.

And building them is not hard either, so there is little money in being just a build shop without having an IP.

Usually a design-only firm licenses themselves exclusively to one retail company - they don't sell the component, only the final product. They goes on for a few years, then the retail company buys them and that's the end of it.

That's why you'll never hear from them again, some lawnmower or whatever company will lock them up and that will be all.

If they want to make an impact (and not just a quick exit) they become a supplier and sell full engines.
Love the integration with the keyboard!
Is it possible that you failed at commercialization, and now you can't bear the thought that open sourcing your creation might lead to zero stars and forks on Github?

Is it possible that the "bombardment of questions" you claim was nothing more than a handful, maybe in the half-dozen or so range, of people who wanted to offer you emotional support because that is free for them to do while paying you for a product they did not want is not?

We don't all get immediate success. What matters is perseverance and determination - never giving up. Not making excuses for why the world failed you. You'll never get anywhere that way.

Can you replicate the functionality of Aereo that way? If so, why is Aereo's bankruptcy a loss? Could all of Aereo's customers just go rent a Slingbox instead? Legitimately curious here.
That's completely wrong, many theories in modern physics theorizes "hidden" spatial dimensions. Look at M-theory/string theory for example, 11 dimensions is the prediction.

Here is an example of a theory that is related to gravity:

> Emil said what he said, this article even confirms that.

Here's my big problem with all this: nobody defending this guy is saying "no, he didn't say that," or "no, he was joking," or even, "no, it was taken out of context." They're saying, essentially, that he wouldn't have disclosed his internal thought process if he knew it would be made public. I definitely wouldn't want one of my jokes or hypotheticals to be quoted out of context. But what I don't get is staying stuff you actually mean and then getting upset that people call you an asshole for thinking and believing the things you actually think and believe.
I think they have stated that they want to get official packages into distro repositories, so you'd get whatever security your distribution's package manager provides, and your distribution of choice would act as a kind of gatekeeper against malicious code/updates the same way it does for other packages.
It is - in some fields. But normally only when you have a unique design that is hard to duplicate.

Not for something as commodity as an engine.
So what if the Open Source project doesn't make any money? Do they expect the project to pay percentages based on donations or something?
Ever since that experience, I've tried to somehow try to practice working with "X" in some concrete way, even though it might feel like a classic "math problem" situation. Personally, I find it helps me get a grasp on "X", whatever it might be. (Mind you, this is just personal experience so YMMV.)
I plan to set up a nice message introducing the project and asking the point of view of potential customers this week-end :) We'll see what will the results be :)
This looks like it will be really useful. My school blocks direct IP access ("phishing", but it's really because they use DNS blocking).
Do you mean that I am understating the difficulty of running DNS on a development workstation or home network? Running secure DNS at huge scale is challenging, but a puny server to mess around with is 1/10 the challenge of almost any development chore. (Apologies if I misunderstand the comparison to monad-speak.)
Is the point of this that a proxy server on your local machine has access to the domain names (site1.til.io and site2.til.io) and can forward the request to the appropriate service on your local machine by modulating on the subdomain?
> I guess that means for users setting up certs for the first time they can't just put some content up on example.com and need to use DNS or something else to prove ownership.

FYI, CAs do this already (HTTP validation), but an easy fix is to generate a self signed cert and pass the fingerprint of it to the CA.
This should be called 'Readline keyboard shortcuts'. Because they are all handled by Readline and have nothing to do with Bash and are already supported by anything that also links to Readline.

Seasoned indeed! :)
Quite agreed! I do believe that we have a duty (c.f., discussion in thread elsewhere) to try to do it, but if it's not that valuable ... meh! let it go, have a drink, chill.

This applies to monads too.
People have forgotten about Wall Street and how its lobbyists threatened martial law and got a massive bailout after they trashed the economy by exploiting the lack of regulation. I think Uber are bad news given their dirty tricks against Lyft, but I also think it's funny how there are these New York and DC media firms that seem to be working like mad to make tech the official business bogeyman, effectively taking the heat off the finance industry.
Yes, I need to trust some things. But I can limit the amount of trust I need to have by limiting the number of things to run. I can add a reminder to my calendar to say "hey renew your certs", or better yet I can add a check to my existing monitoring service to look at expiration dates. Why run a whole new persistent service just for this?
I cannot speak to her ideology, as I've only read her novels and admired her amazing craftsmanship and care. For example, in "The Dispossessed" she crafts a point of rational observation of both extremes of capitalism and communism. I've not had the opportunity to read of or hear her own personal views.

I think her remarks aimed at Amazon miss the mark. She said: "...We just saw a profiteer try to punish a publisher for disobedience and writers threatened by corporate fatwa, and I see a lot of us, the producers who write the books, and make the books, accepting this. Letting commodity profiteers sell us like deodorant, and tell us what to publish and what to write."

Amazon was not "punishing disobedience", rather they are attempting to negotiate more favorable terms for literally all involved parties. (Amazon's historical data shows a lower price for e-books increases overall sales generating a higher profit for Amazon, for the publisher, and for the author.)

To me, attempting to show an equivalence between Amazon's contractual negotiation with Hachette and religious pronouncements from Muslim clerics sounds a false note in an otherwise important statement.
Well, I need many users, really many many many with this current setup :p
I should correct what I wrote above: Red is not yet production-ready but it aspires to be a more modern, open source alternative to Rebol 2 for use in production. (Rebol 2 is now closed-source freeware; it used to cost a lot of money and be marketed towards the enterprise.)
haphazard? fragmented? many places for error logs? half-a-dozen ways to configure X?

Have you ever run a linux box? How about dozens or hundreds of them in a production environment? I'm guessing no on both counts based on the nonsense you're spewing forth in your post.

If you don't know what you're talking about, it's best to just keep quiet.
