Wouldn't this be easy to defeat by changing words around yourself before distributing? It would either match to someone else's copy of the email, or not match anyone at all. It would need to be highly resilient to a lot of tampering, which

The metric that continues to really impress me about Facebook: 58% of users log in each day (that's 526mm DAU out of 901mm MAU, according to its SEC filing). That's roughly the same percentage as it was in 2007, when I first heard that kind

I would suggest changing the behavior of pushing the entire page down to one where just the username and password boxes descend from the top and situate themselves next to a stationary Login button. I don't like when the page moves from und

I like Gandi.net. A bit more expensive at $15.50 for a .com, but it includes DNS, SSL, web redirection, and email (nice for setting up forwarding addresses).

You're right. But keyword spam, daily reposting, and generic posts that direct you to another site are bigger offenders that make Craigslist really hard to use.

When I started working with Rails, I didn't understand it. I wanted to see how all the magic worked. Then I gave it a second go, and skipped trying to learn how Rails was built, but just assumed the framework worked the way all the code sam

The problem is that marketing is still what drives big numbers to watching a show. Lots of money is spent so that people know when the premiere and finale of each show is, every season. When shows are sold internationally, it's the local di

The preparation really shows -- great job. Ability to present really well is a critical skill for anyone with a product head.

I've mentioned this before, but World of Goo did everything right: great game, 90 on Metacritic, easy purchase through Steam or direct from their website, no DRM at all, and priced at $19.99. But an estimated 90% of players were on pirated

There's one caveat to this report that's important: the data is about two different sets of users. The web data is from comScore, and measures all US web users. It includes everyone from HN readers to the neighbor that checks email just onc

This is indeed the single biggest problem -- the cost of producing and marketing a broadcast/theater quality feature is spectacularly high. Technology will help, but we need to see it come down by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

I think you'll have to get rid of the TV. SOPA supporters include CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, Viacom, ESPN, NFL, NBA, and the MLB. Also, the Directors Guild of America (DGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) are supporters. The Writers Guild of America

Probably lifted by their push of Google+ to sit down and create an account. If you already had a Hotmail or Yahoo account, you may not have had a reason to create a Google account of any kind.

The fundamental argument for anti-piracy is that at least some of the pirates would have paid for the content if piracy was not available. It's not all the pirates, and it's not none of the pirates. Nobody would care about pirates if they w

Yes, and the price is dramatically lower as well: $2.99. I paid $19.99 on Steam three years ago. I'd be curious if they could do it all over again today, if they would do iOS first.

I'm not saying that they missed out on 90% of their revenue (though it's fair to say they lost out on some revenue). Rather, they did everything right: a fun game that anyone can play, great press, broad distribution through multiple channe
