I've been the sole developer of several startups over the years and still am for some. Some suggestions: - If there's no unequal investment in the startup (like for example someone putting in a lot of money or more time compared t

It's not about being blind to criticism, it's about lies being told about a cool new technology in a thread about a cool project build on top of it. This complete comment thread has been taken over by a discussion about IOTA, abou

It would be ideal on trinary hardware, but it can work with a trinary emulator for now. I expect to see a Trinary chip very soon. CfB, one of the core devs of IOTA, founder of NXT and inventor of PoS has a team that has been working on Jinn

1: By using a ternary number system, the amount of devices and cycles can be reduced significantly. In contrast to two-state devices, multistate devices provide better radix economy with the option for further scaling 2: Why is explained he

IOTA is being attacked with FUD from all sides, some people really don't want it to succeed. There's a pretty complete thread on reddit with most FUD in it and why it's not valid: https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2F

This isn't solving a problem, it's just making it a little less worse. Proof of Work by mining is just a plain stupid and wasteful idea. Ethereum is already switching to Proof of Stake which is slightly better (but it still gives

Very cool game, thanks :) One minor issue in the API docs: canvasContext.beginPath() Begins drawing a new shape. canvasContext.beginPath(x, y) Sets the end coordinates of a line. this second beginPath should be lineTo, took a minute to debu

I've just played with the CoffeeScript implementation; It's pretty awesome and looks great: http://coffeescad.net/

If you like the concept of scripted 3D modelling check out OpenSCAD. Instead of entering commands you create a script that build your model for you, including the option to use variables, loops and conditions to adapt your model to certain

It would be very cool if they will be able to do this, I've toyed around a bit with multicopters and know a thing or two about the current state of non-military UAV's, here are my thoughts: - They use a octocopter; that's gre

You are absolutely right: It's been a while since I last used Titanium. At the time you had to use a crappy/buggy UI to compile your app, with random bugs ocuring all the time, not being able to build once you've upgraded to

I've created native iOS apps, native Android apps, HTML5 apps and I've used wrappers (Titanium Mobile and PhoneGap) over the last few years and these are my findings: - Native apps take a lot of time to build, especially when you

Very nice, cool build! Pretty cool that Bryan Cranston (Walter White from Breaking Bad) is in the top 10 as well (shared first place). Edit - Oh, you can just enter any twitter username without validation, my bad :)

A heli carrying a DSLR is big, expensive, hard to fly, dangerous and maintenance intensive. It's good for lifting a DSLR but I would go with a multicopter, the more blades the better. A hexacopter or even an octocopter are very stable,

Indeed, the 5c is just a bad deal; You get the iPhone 5, a model that would've been reduced in price anyway if they retained it, with no big/significant changes other than a plastic shell (downgrade if you ask me). Thats fine if t

Bought the PDF beta once it was posted here on HN with the hope you guys would be nice and provide an EPUB version later on. Just want to say thank you for listening and doing so! If you haven't bought this book and are in some way (beginne

Same here, will buy but I really want the ePub version for my eReader.

Very similar to the methods I used :) On level 5 I used a textfile on the compromised level 2 server instead of the 'cleaner' method shown here. On level 6 I used some more JS: }];</script><script type=text/html id=payload>$

You guys did an awesome job, great stuff to waste some evenings on. It's nice to read about all these measures, especially since I've already noticed most of them while capturing the flag :)

Oh yeah, it generates great output for sure, I might just write a simple wrapper (in PhantomJS or whatever) to automate the compilation step using a markdown document and strapdown, or if I'm lazy I'll just save the generated code from the

I like the use of markdown for this kind of purpose but i'd rather just compile from markdown to the generated HTML and put that online for a better user experience (no flash of unstyled markdown content) and possibly better Google indexing

The Dutch government wants ".overheidnl" (govermentnl), not only it's one ugly gTLD, they already have overheid.nl! What a waste of tax money...

Nice effort reverse engineering the protocol but I would only use this for tinkering purposes since it spoofs being a mobile device. If WhatsApp changes the protocol a bit it just stops working. Furthermore I think the coding style is not v

The design is nice, but why buy this thing for €429 excl. disks if you can buy a Synology DS211 with 2x2GB for the same price including the great diskstation software? Ok, the design is nice, but hey, it's a NAS, you can just go ahead and h

Hey Ohad, I've already mailed you this, but for the others to read: Some of the decisions are inspired by "The 4 hour workweek" book by Timothy Ferriss; You could see this as one of my "muses" if you're familiar with it. My price is based o

Hey Erik, Thanks for the suggestion, I was thinking of this since I really like the outcome myself. Might be one of my next projects ;)

Great product Rick, loving it; saved me a lot of work, I'd love to donate once I start making some money :)

Hey Ed, thanks for your feedback. I'm aware of this and I'm still looking for a solution, let's hope Rick here can help me out ;)
