I think you'd have to be crazy to upload on bittorrent. IANAL but I think you can only get sued for redistribution of copyrighted material, so downloading is safe.

But one major question remains. Will Turntable.fm be able to qualify as a non-interactive streaming radio service, afforded DMCA protection by the Copyright Act of 1998? If it does, then all it needs are these relatively inexpensive perfor

Banking != HFT. I've worked at both a bank and an HFT firm, so I think I have some perspective you might find interesting. To make a broad generalization from my experience, "Traders" at a bank are mostly non-technical Excel junkies. It see

Where is the comparison to the employment ratio of the entire workforce? Without this it is difficult to look at subsets (like 16-19 yrs old, 55+) and draw much of a conclusion. I would guess that population/macro effects probably tell a

I'm no security expert either, but I'm guessing the real solution is SSL. If you hash passwords in javascript, a middleman could easily just look up the source of your application and decrypt the hashed password coming over the wire.

No transitions/mixes/effects, just picking cool songs and taking turns like everyone else. I could easily see turntable hosting solo DJ sets with transitions and everything (and charging admission). Definitely something I'd pay for.

This is already sort of happening on turntable. The other night Sir Mix-A-Lot was DJing in one of the rooms.

My guess is that they wanted to go the "self-contained" route as opposed to the "amalgamation of different libraries" approach (a la Pylons/Pyramid). This makes it a lot easier to learn for true beginners since it eliminates the overhead of

Kind of a linkbait title since less than half of the presentation is caveats and the remainder is advice for starting a startup. Nevertheless I thought it was well done--definitely lays out the risks very nicely. One thing I'd like to hear

I have to disagree with some of the "warts": operator[] adds a member to a map if it does not already exist The main theme of this article seems to be "C++ gives you too much flexibility," but this is a case where C++ is enforcing a defau

WooThemes is a pretty good one: http://www.woothemes.com/ According to their blog [1] a lot of their templates use 960.gs, which might make them more friendly to use than ThemeForest. [1] http://www.woothemes.com/2008/12/why-we-love-960g

But for someone else who knows GNU screen really well, the $10 could easily be worth the short amount of time it would take to provide an answer. I could see this being a good way to go deeper than the regular Q&A site format by offerin

Have you thought about integrating/leveraging Ace (previously SkyWriter, Bespin)? http://ace.ajax.org/ This would give you the ability to let people use emacs/vim shortcuts among a lot of other not-reinventing-the-wheel kind of things (li

Good point. Although I would say that TC from two years ago is a lot different than TC today. I guess I submitted this in the same spirit as pg's ominous "How to prevent the decline of HN" post earlier this week. Maybe drastic times call fo
