Copy protection for desktop software? | shin_lao: If your software is popular, it will attract motivated pirates.First question, can you be more precise about your target audience and what your software does? Is there any incentive to copy it? Do you want to protect from customers buying less licenses than they really need?In other words: what's your "threat".Another question is: how do you license your software? Do you give a serial file? Serial number? Is it available for download?As for 3rd party protection system, .NET applications are extremely easy to hack because you can almost decompile them. You'll find obfuscators and the like, but don't rely too much on them.Phone activation will make you lose sales. Don't annoy your customers. Just make it clear what they can do and what they can't do.Online activation will need work on your part even with a 3rd party module as you will have to build the bridge between your application and the protection. |
Hacker houses in Seattle? | blasdel: I'm also interested to know if any such place exists.I currently live in a sweet shared house/manse two houses up from Lake Washington (where there is presently a room open), but it's way the hell up at 123rd St. -- it can be a pain to ride home late after an event. |

Make Money From Home....? | jacquesm: - Specialty search
That's a job worth doing, basically a very extended search
results set filtering out all the nonsense and sending out
an abstract of the status of a certain subject A typical query would not be a few keywords but a full
description to guide the searcher.
For instance: the number of tourists that have visited
the United States over the last 3 decades and the impact
of security measures on the tourist industry.
Alotted time for something like that could be several
days and a really good report would probably be worth
good money.
- competitive analysis
Use all the online tools available to compile a report
on how well a business is doing compared to the competition
Bonus if you can sell the same report to the competitors- patent search assist
research if prior art exists for a patent application
That one is harder because you'd have to be under an
NDA with a patent attorney but it's definitely
something that would pay the bills and can be done
without ever leaving your house. And you'd learn a
lot to boot.That's all I can come up with right of the bat, I'm sure there are tons of other opportunities.Good luck ! |
Copy protection for desktop software? | somecanuck: Have you checked out .NET Reactor and/or IntelliLock?http://www.eziriz.com/I had been considering them for a product of my own. There's a lot of positive feedback about them around. |
How good are freelance programming sites? | somecanuck: I have worked through Guru.com and enjoy it. The web site provides a lot of nice tools, including escrow payments, work rooms, and private message boards. You pay for it though -- around 7% fees on each project.The one complaint is that you have to lower your rates substantially at the start until you build up return clients. At the point, they like your work and give you private projects. |
How's the world been treating you lately?Review my iPhone app:My day was | karam: I'm using all the proceeds to fund my startup: PicfitiPicfiti helps you leave virtual notes on real world objects and places using your phone camera.Take a photo of an object and type in a message to save it. When a friend comes along and takes a photo of the same object, they'll see the message you left for them! |

Make Money From Home....? | patio11: Freelance writing for content creation mills like Demand Media or TextBroker will work out to about $8 an hour for fluent speakers of American English who work efficiently. I do not think that full-time is in the cards for the overwhelming majority of users on those sites.Additionally, the variation in income may be problematic.(If $320 a week means you make your rent and $260 a week means you do not, then you will probably have crises caused by fairly frequent minor variations in results.) |
Is AppStore getting better? | ojbyrne: You should probably include the obligatory "Ask HN:" at the start of your title. |
Is AppStore getting better? | azsromej: They reportedly beefed up staffing over the holiday break. Approval times (for updates at least) were on the order of 1-3 days. Maybe new app approvals are faster too. |
Is AppStore getting better? | nonrecursive: My app, submitted January 1st, was approved a few hours ago. In developer connection, there was a note saying that approval could take around 2 hours, so this was a nice surprise. |
Is AppStore getting better? | pcm: I submitted an app ~1 year ago and it was approved in 4 days. I submitted a lite version of said app two weeks ago, the day before iTunes Connect went down for the holidays, and it was approved and available the day they came back from the break (about 1 week later).I will say that I got more feedback from the reviewers this time around versus one year ago. |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | patio11: MailChimp. Cheap, wonderfully featured API, pre-existing Ruby code that took my integration time to within 2 hours.If you're doing iPhone apps at the traditional iPhone price point, though, I don't know how any service which charges for a marginal email is going to be worthwhile for you. |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | nreece: CampaignMonitor - http://www.campaignmonitor.com is pretty good. |
review my startup, a planning/analysis app for cyclists | kbob: It would be great if you had more info about compatible GPS units. Are there specific brands/models that work? Are there keywords to look for (any XYZ protocol-compatible GPS)?
I saw mention of the Garmin 605 and 705 in the FAQ, but are those the only models? |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | apsurd: My honest advice: Think like a business.
DO NOT build your own email system. Why do that when you can use that time to evolve your app?If you can't pay a monthly mailchimp fee with your current model, then the model needs changing.edit: Take heed of Patrick's "marketing evolution" strategies below and realize there are oh-so-many more lucrative things to be working on than coding a custom mailer. |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | bretpiatt: The folks behind http://www.beanstalkapp.com also do http://www.newsberry.com -- we've used it for a few projects and had good success.They start off at Free! for < 100 subs, http://newsberry.com/pricing/standard-plans |
What startups here are focusing on developing on top of .NET? | kolosy: i was tempted to blog about this a while back. i've gone from java (back in the 'ole days), to c#/net only, to the view that platforms don't matter. or rather platform boundaries don't matter. i spent the last few months developing out a .net mvc framework for my dayjob. when it came time for us to build http://friendsell.com, that's what i and the guys knew best, so that's what we built on. but we wanted to use CouchDB as the backend... and so we did.there are subtle implications to the platform decisions you make, but on the scale of most startups, the extra $40 bucks a month you'll pay for that windows ec2 ami isn't gonna make a difference. what will make a difference is you building on top of the stack you're most proficient with. for us that meant building on .net and couch. for someone else that'll be RoR and mysql. |
Has anyone ever set up a free conference call system? | adammichaelc: what about using twilio? |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | skippybosco: You don't really say, what is it about your evolving business that dictates a change in mail provider?That being said, depending on your volume and functionality you require, http://www.aweber.com is also an option to consider. |
Has anyone ever set up a free conference call system? | noonespecial: You can build it completely in the cloud with a service like twilio(1). This would be good to get a temporary setup going very quickly.If you need something a little more permanent and flexible, you can easily build it yourself with asterisk(2) or freeswitch(3). If you know what you're doing, you can turn a centos server into a dial-in conference bridge in about half an hour. This will open the door to all kinds of awesome like skype bridges, web embedded soft phones and whatever custom apps you can code up. We once created a conference call where participants could drive a robot with DTMF.(1) http://www.twilio.com/(2) http://www.asterisk.org/(3) http://www.freeswitch.org/ |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | barmstrong: http://FeedmailPro.com is great for RSS based email campaigns.The way I look at it, might as well make the email a blog post (for Google juice, so future people who look for it can find it, etc) and then just use an RSS to email service. |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | dbc: I don't have any advice for software to use, buy I do suggest you use something other than your production DNS domain and mail server for sending out these messages. Even if all of them opt-in, some of your recipients will mark your messages as spam and that mail server/domain will start to show up on blacklists. If your production domain is xyzcorp.com, maybe you should register xyzcorp-messages.com for this activity. |
Has anyone ever set up a free conference call system? | admn_is_traitor: Once Richard Stallman himself came to my home office and configured everything. Then he was like "free as in beer, dude. now wheres my beer?" |
Great books you read in 2009? | adam-_-: Flat Earth News - Nick Davies: An interesting discussion about falsehood and PR in newspapers and the media generally.Hackers & Painters - Paul Graham: Read it this year and enjoyed it a lot.Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts: Awe inspiring "true" story about a convict who escaped to India. Really made me want to take a trip to India. Perhaps not the highest quality prose but a gripping story never-the-less.A Simple Act of Violence - R J Ellory: I'm reading this right now and it's the first book in a while that has really grabbed me. Well written crime/thriller type book. |
Great books you read in 2009? | rms: Two of my favorite books that are freely available online, both in the genre of post-singularity utopian science fiction:http://www.kuro5hin.org/prime-intellect/http://craphound.com/down/download.php |
How many tech IPOs this year? | smallhands: yeah facebook most likely and ......boom we are back in the 90s |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | hikari17: We currently use Constant Contact for newsletters and email campaigns. It's served us well so far, but I could be easily convinced to ditch it -- the email templates, editing features, and analytics are decent, but hardly inspired or delightful. I'm looking seriously at both Aweber and Emma... and this thread has motivated me to consider MailChimp too. |
What's a math major to do? | marknyc: Look into quantitative finance. There are plenty of math majors roaming around there, and math people with good programming skills are in high demand.Recommended introductory reading would be Mark Joshi's 'How to be a quant' PDF (http://www.markjoshi.com/downloads/advice.pdf). It's been around for a little while now, but most of it should still be applicable. |

What startups here are focusing on developing on top of .NET? | waynem: I am using .NET for my startup app (nowhere near done yet so no link) which is a CRM/scheduler for service businesses. I was going to use Ruby on Rails like the other cool kids but I have more experience with .NET, my area is all .NET and I like a lot of the new things out (e.g. ASP.NET MVC), plus I am enrolled in Bizspark. I also had a fair number of issues fighting the Rails mentality (or rather, trying to shoehorn my thoughts into Rails) so I switched to .NET |
What's a math major to do? | geebee: My first job after majoring in math was to work for a software company in hollywood. Have you considered working in something graphics-oriented? It doesn't have to be games, there's a lot of math-related work in the film industry. It will take a little bit of work to break into this field, but it's a really good fit for math majors who have some programming experience. |
What does everyone use to send out newsletters, email campaigns? | 3ds: I've successfully used cleverreach, which is a german company, because a client asked me to. It worked really well, importing addresses from CVS, personalizing, campaign monitoring, click rates, etc:http://www.cleverreach.de/frontend/index.php?flang=enFor preparation I handcoded an html-table layout with some css which I later turned to inline css using http://premailer.dialect.ca/ because other css gets stripped out by gmail and other web mail clients. |
Make Money From Home....? | turtle4: Transcription is still necessary, particularly in fields where accuracy is important, ie medical and legal. Automatic dictation just doesn't cut it quite yet.Most legal offices have their own internal talent, but a fair amount of medical transcription still gets farmed out to what amount to temp agencies. If someone signs up with one of those agencies as a transcriber, they can generally take delivery of dictation via download, and upload the results. Barrier to entry is typically a certification course that can be wrapped up in a couple semesters. |
Latest thinking in best type of Corp and what State? | vaksel: my opinion is that it just doesn't matter. When you get big to actually benefit from those advantages, you can always reorganize in the state of your choice |
What startups here are focusing on developing on top of .NET? | tjmule: The start-up I work for (http://www.theport.com) uses .NET 3.5 / C# / SQL Server 2005. We've incorporated some open source projects (most notably SOLR, NHibernate, and SharedCache) and use a wide range of open source tools for day-to-day management of our team (SVN, Trac, CC.NET). We've found great success in getting .NET to scale and in rapid development.I've been developing w/ Microsoft since the VB6 days and I will be the first to admit that there's no right answer to which is the "best stack". There's great advantages to LAMP, Java, and Microsoft. I think it all depends on where your comfortability lies. My honest opinion is that trying to answer this question is like to trying to figure out which is the "best religion". It's totally subjective. |
Latest thinking in best type of Corp and what State? | grellas: Here is a lively discussion tied to a post I had made about why Delaware is not necessarily the best state in which to incorporate your startup: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=674469. If you follow the thread, you will see various contributions from HN members discussing the pros and cons of incorporating in various states. I'm sure much more can be added here, but this should be a good start for your assessment. |

Best way to outsource web design and development? | Travis: I second the rec for byoung2's article.As I don't know your situation, it's difficult to give advice, but I'll throw out the generic stuff:
- if you're going to do a web startup, you probably should have 1 technical co-founder
- if you're just building a basic website, try some of the outsource sites like odesk, etc. Then it's a matter of finding people at your price, with decent reviews. Give them a small amount of work at first, and evaluate.Note that any time you have other people do the work, you will have to evaluate what it looks/acts like, rather than how well it's written. That may be OK, but it may cause headaches later on. If you're taking intro to CS right now, you are many years away from being able to judge internal structure (sorry, but it's true...) and will only be able to know if their code does what you think it should.As I said, that might not be a bad thing -- but you won't have someone who can say "the buck stops here", WRT all technical matters.You can find people who will manage outsourcers for you, but they're probably going to add a bit more cost on that for you. And in that situation, you still have the same problem: how do you find that person? |

What are you working on? | jasonlbaptiste: I'm interested/ been heavily exploring:PCs in the living room (everything from custom linux distro, XBMC Live modified, and windows 7). 140 million HDTVs sold in 2009 alone, hardware is getting cheaper, and content is readily available.Education space. ie- how do we provide easy access to all the materials that exist out there? My hypothesis: everything we could ever want to learn exists already on the net or can be taught to us by a person we can be connected with in seconds. How do we easily organize it? think more of a directory than a search engine.Bringing local businesses into the 21st century. Most don't have a website and still use yellow pages. The existing solutions out there suck and are filled with slime.Email newsletters. Why not create the weblogs inc of newsletters? Look at what thrillist, dailycandy, etc. have done. Create a network of these around a plethora of wide open niches along with building a strong advertising platform for email newsletters (it doesn't exist yet).Human powered purchasing decisions. How do we help people know what to buy with specific criteria that transcends checkboxes and a search engine? Something human powered is the way to go about it. As geeks, I'm sure you're constantly asked- what phone should I get for price x, features y, etc. Purchases such as these are expensive and spending a few bucks more to get a personalized recommendation would be worth it. |
Computer Vision and AR project ideas | Shamiq: Can you make something that looks at what someone is wearing, and then alters colors, patterns, etc? So I try on a certain shirt type, and then it'll show what I would look like with other shirts of the same cut?I would also enjoy a gesture controlled UI for a simple computer. Maybe something that can turn sign language into typed English?I've got no idea how difficult these systems would be to build -- absolutely no experience in the field. |

What CRM/PM/DM/TT application do you use? | Travis: You may have already considered it, but I believe that the zoho suite will take care of a lot of your requirements. They have different components, so you may have to pick and choose what you want your employees to use, but (based on the quality of their docs system), I'd imagine their overall quality is quite high. |

What are you working on? | terryjsmith: Been working on open sourcing a PHP framework I created a while back. Uses MVC, but the primary goals are to be lean and schemaless. It pulls columns from the database and assigns them to variables dynamically so you don't have to update the schema and then worry about the database (most frameworks require you to flush and rebuild). More to come in the next week. It can be found here if you're interested:http://github.com/terryjsmith/jaxified |

Best scalable way of storing sessions? | justinsb: As someone that ran a company for a number of years that sold solutions for session storage, the best solution is not to store them...Encode your state in cookies instead. Of course, that's much easier said then done, especially given the size limits, but if you can, then it's an awesome approach.A good way to make this work is to identify what in your session is a cache of other data (e.g. your user record) and what is actually true session data (e.g. the user id). You only need store the former, the latter can be cached in memcached.Cookies are sent on every request, so you probably need to use an asset domain for best performance.Don't forget to make sure that your cookies are secure. That's been pretty well covered recently, but I think it involves typing A-E-S or something like that :-) |

It is only a private console with an API, so there isn't much to look at.I tied up a number of loose ends with my own personal website, integrated the API from my decentralized content web application and my google books library.My current project is to finish reading The Little Schemer and doing the exercises alongside it. I've been learning a lot and thoroughly enjoying it. My next programming project will probably be to move my decentralized content API from PHP+MySQL to an Erlang backed key-value store and a Scheme powered content API; I may still use PHP for the web interface. |

Facebook connect provides you with some interesting options for taking elements out of facebook and using them in other places, and really allows you to build one application and treat facebook as a view format rather than a completely separate entity.I'm also building in some cool functionality to bring widgets into the app, where you can build out your pages based on what widgets you are interested in, similar to widgets in wordpress admin or igoogle. |

It's slow going; the bytecode side isn't hard, but the language has been evolving for 7 years or so and has all sorts of obscure edge cases, as well as some looseness in the semantics that has to be tightened up in bytecode, so getting every little detail right so all the existing code still runs 100% correctly is difficult. We're still hoping for an initial open source release some time between probably June and September. |
