I also posted today to Ask HN about LaunchRock type services. It was killed almost immediately.

Hey Ahaz I wanted to reply to your question on this link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7176039 I work for a TV Studio that is part of a global Telco. Please put a contact email in you link!

I read about this yesterday http://www.google.com/atap/projecttango/

Last September I posted this on my blog: Imagine sitting in an airport, for example, and being able to join a First Person Shooter Game where all of your opponents are in the same airport – they could be other travellers, airport staff, pilots – anyone. But here is the main feature of this game: The virtual location you see in the game IS the airport and it is created using all relevant data (floorplans of the airport, wayfinding apps, and apps on your phone that are able to map rooms, measure direction, etc.). The game environment in which you travel seeking your opponents is generated using data being generated by their devices as well – sort of a micro crowd sourced battlefield with some help from publicly available data.

Where do I find a Tango Developer to work with to create this Massively Multiplayer Mobile game?

No actually. I'm a MAM and my photographers often dump photos on my desk with ZERO metadata. I have no way of identifying everyone. If everyone had a name badge with an RFID then taking their photo would collect their name, title and company information. Also, do CCs use RFID?

I think you should help your prospective customers by creating a section for "Apartment-sized" furniture. Most furniture being sold today is still House-sized and/or designed for very large people. Geometry is everything. Also, it would be cool if you could aggregate offerings from small, independent furniture makers. I like it already. Keep going.

I would pay for an RFID reader that I can attach to a DSLR that will dump data it reads into an IPTC field.

Vancouver typically rates in the top 3 and is more expensive than Toronto.

Dressing down, ubiquitously known as "being comfortable", says that you don’t care about how you look, as if your appearance were an entirely private matter that has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s the exact opposite: what you wear is part of the visible environment, as relevant as the architecture, the decor, the food on the table, the scents in the air. - Rebecca Mielke

Way to go Nintendo. Hopefully others will follow suit when faced with patent trolls.

Thanks for posting bushido. That was great.

Think before you act.

Yes, or Bondo - for filling holes in rusty cars.

This may just be postering on the part of the UAE Government to get out of the deal, because they have been offered better terms from elsewhere. A relative in the US who was a very small military contractor delivered a radar system to the UAE Government last decade - on time, and on budget - only to be told that they didn't want it anymore and since they didn't want it, they were not going to pay for it. The company could not tolerate that loss and went bankrupt.

Ship something . . . dammit.

The first? I believe it was thelotter.com

I kind of like this idea. I think it's terrible to have to succumb to a username like mankhool48723 when you really want something, better. If you were creating a new service today, how would you handle usernames, not about just the use-it-or-lose-it issue, but about username creation and uniqueness? Logan 6 identify please.

Would someone more informed that I am about VC please explain why this is a better move than taking $3B or $4B in cash?

"We don't sell, share, or NSA your data. No one can access your log without your say so."

NSA is now a verb. Is this the first instance of this? Very cool if it is.

Which app is it?

Exoverse.

It would be great to hear some of it without having to sign up for something.

No, but I had trouble getting a job after working abroad for 10 years. There was huge unspoken resentment from most employers that I had dared to leave Canada to work elsewhere. In her book, "Eight Months on Gaza Street", Hilary Mantel wrote something like, "It's almost as if by going away that you were offering some criticism of their own lives". That's exactly what it felt like.
