Email me noah@noahc.net the URL and the reason why you're trying to make it faster. I'll take a look at it and get back to you with the low hanging fruit.

This is more of a cowboy opinion (as in what I would do) than anything else. I would post it. They aren't going to sue you unless you refuse to take it down. If they ask, take it down. Of course this is contingent on there really being noth

What I think you want to do is: 1. Take all URL's that have made it to the homepage. 2. Weigh them by the points they've been assigned. 3. Only go out say n deep (maybe three) by following all the links. 4. Let this be your corpus of HN rel

I'm not Patrick, but I play him on tv. A couple points, First of all I am a heat seeking missile for praise. For me, I've never optimized my life or life style for money. Think of negotiation as levers that can be moved. I've discovered how

This isn't full time and the $13,000 should be amortized over the next couple years as that was spent on client prospecting and he seems to be moving in the direction of only dealing with repeat client work.

Of all these the only thing I do is tip well. When you treat the help right, they will often times be more loyal to you than to the management. From tipping well, I've had the following experiences. 1. I was out at a bar with a bunch of fri

You are probably correct in that I don't doubt you that I got that detail wrong. I'm sorry I got these details wrong, but I still think my point stands. Aaron, I'm giving you support through tough love. I'm telling you that the way you show

Exactly, they both see the end game. When I referenced Paypal, I meant it in terms of what we traditionally think of as Paypals core business which is online payments made via checks, credit cards, and debit cards.

My understanding is that they are using a bank to front this, thus some legal thinkers see this as not being exempt. You already know this though. I've seen you post in MULTIPLE threads about Dwolla and bit coin. Please stop. I've held my t

Dwolla is different because they're not building a PayPal, their building a Visa. Long term that's their vision. That's what USV is betting on that someday you'll be paying with Dwolla at Walmart.

It's not hard to imagine that hard money can be used as a proxy for soft money to some multiple. For example soft money is 78x what the hard money is. Hard money donations are often given by corporations through PACs as well. The reason thi

In order to understand this you have to understand that in American corporations are persons. When Mitt Romney said, "Corporations are people too" at the Iowa State Fair he wasn't sharing his own personal beliefs. Instead he was telling the

I think that one is better too. I was picturing an outside wall with the shop owner inside all day behind the counter. The Mickey Mouse one is more concise though.

Have you tried Graffiti analogy? Imagine you are a shop owner and someone writes something offensive on the outside of your building without you even knowing about it. This bill would allow the government to shutdown your store before you e

When I was in high school I worked with k9 dogs a lot as an assistant trainer. This reminds me of a dog we had in that was deaf, but we had no idea until they hit the street. We had trained the dog for 2-3 months just like any other k9 and

The article mostly talks about structural words. The real breakthrough is that they provide a lot of clues into our very being. We can predict lying, age, gender, and power using them. For those interested in this it would be worth checking

I just want to add this little tip. If you can't be better than your competition at anything else, you can always be better at caring about everyone that touches your brand. Imagine if byoung2 had said instead, "Yeah, I applied to six, and

You're argument is essentially the "She deserved to be raped" argument. I understand that your argument is a bit more nuanced than this because of the idea of harm you introduced. But at it's simpliest core you argue that "Hey, you made it

As a point of clarification she uses it in this sense: "Supposedly, Aunt Sue is coming down this weekend" What she means is "My mom said, "Aunt Sue is coming down this weekend" What I interpret this to mean is "Aunt Sue says she is coming d

I am torn on this issue. I try not to be like this, but words have meaning. And if words don't have meaning or have arbitrary meaning then we can't communicate. Some words have more specific meaning than others. One thing that drives me abs

In general you don't want to piss off your best customers. The type of person who owns 20+ domains is the type of person you want as a customer (lower support costs, lower cost per customer acquisition). The person who owns 20+ domains is t

by noahc 15y ago
What if I'm a link spammer, then I'd love to have google's list. How can the list be more extensive than google? That is verifiably false. For example, generate a list of IP addresses(500,000+) that have the following characteristics: 1. Ha

If your point is that 'it's not impossible to do..' I agree. My point is that this is more efficient, not that it is some super secret 1337 way to hack.

by noahc 15y ago
Thanks. I've never had issues with using whois or ping. The point still stands, there are plenty of ways of getting an ip address without needing google's help.

by noahc 15y ago
There is nothing preventing a cracker from getting a list of IP addresses. There are a number of ways to get an IP address of a specific server: whois on the domain, even pinging the domain on a *nix OS kicks back an IP address. Doing a tra

by noahc 15y ago
This is a horrible idea. What more could a cracker want than a list of IP addresses that are known web servers. Sure, the big guys are safe. But what about the mom and pop shop that pays $20 a month to host their website on a server that is
