He knows about the manufacturing process, set up a kickstarter get orders of 10 make those 10 sell them, stream line your manufacturing process within the United states think 3d printing. Put out the next order of 100 hit the hundred then take it from there. Get the first 10 to make viral videos for you. Put made in the US on the outside.
johnmoore··on Hackers Stole My Website
Anyone who uses godaddy add 2FA now and i mean now.

This is my story

I enabled 2FA i don't why. I think i read somewhere, how someone got there domains stoled.

Last month ago, I got a text message out of the blue, I googled the number and it was godaddy service.

So this person had got my username and password in godaddy and hit the 2FA, godaddy uses customer IDs and the password i use was a old password but one i didn't use in any other service.

So someone is running through all the customers Id numbers with a password dictonary because i knew this password was on one of those leaked password dictionaries.

They can do this because the godaddy site doesn't lock the account out for 24 hours after 5 wrong times. The hacker can try different combinations multiple times.

This is a major flaw on there site.

After watching the film snowden there is a part in the film. Which goes that he was scared of a new leader been elected and flicking a switch. It looks like Teresa May flicked that switch and she wasn't even elected.

johnmoore··on James Goodfellow patented the ATM, created the first pin code, earned £10
If it was today, a patent troll would of claimed it lol.

The examples show that the patent system doesn't work.

1) Inventor invents something, someone screws over inventor. 2) Inventor invents something, someone copies inventor, Inventor takes it to court gets financial ruin fighting his claim.

How to fix the system easy. 1)More and better help for inventors to license their product especially overseas. 2)A inventor can challenge someone in UK courts where they have copied there idea and has to pay court fees for the inventor.

johnmoore··on What the founding teams of billion dollar startups look like
You could do a follow up, and see what does stanford do differently to teaching, that creates billion dollar startup founders.
johnmoore··on Why the super-rich get richer
When you have no money you work for money, when you have money it works for you. As time goes on the more it will make for you. So if you have 10,000 in a fund with 10 percent return it makes you 1,000 each year. So Over 47 years you will be a millionaire. This is then past to the second generation which then does the same then passes this to the third generation. Only once this cycle is broken will the poor and rich gap narrow.

johnmoore··on Marketing your startup: What's on your checklist?
In wordpress you can connect your twitter feed, so when you write a blog post it automatically posts on twitter. I can't remember if it was a plugin I added.

It also makes the short url for you. So you can track on statcounter.com how many people clicked that short url.

johnmoore··on Marketing your startup: What's on your checklist?
1) Set up a Twitter page. 2) Set up a facebook page. 2) Have your branding the same on all social media. 3) Connect to relevant followers or potential customers. 4) Connect your blog posts automatically to twitter.

I think if you developed the technology you wouldn't tell to many people.

johnmoore··on Ask HN: How Do You Market A Hotel Comparison Website?
It is not a case of a quick buck it is to give me some income which will fund my proper start-up http://www.dashoot.com

Difference between a UK startup and a US startup.

A Uk startup tries to start small build revenue with business model sell at a high price.

A US startup builds small demo gets funding, hires staff build's it bigger sell's at a high price or then develops business model.

Google adwords is not user friendly and it is badly designed you shouldn't have to read a huge manual or read up on it. It should ask you how to configure it, not configure it yourself with its hidden menus. Plus when you put money into you account in adwords it doesn't acknowledges that the money is deposited until a few hours later so at first you think it didn't work. Which goes back to the bad design.

With 90 percent of the search market within the UK you have to use google. If google can't market your site properly on its display ad network with 50 quid there is no point giving it a couple of grand. You might as well piss the money up the wall.

I actual care about travelling for I went travelling around the world in 2008 to 2009 after finishing my computer science degree.

johnmoore··on Ask HN: How Do You Market A Hotel Comparison Website?
Some good ideas here murtza cheers, legend.
johnmoore··on Ask HN: How Do You Market A Hotel Comparison Website?
I hope to add more content in the blog, and build that up with places to visit and see.

My site searches booking.com, expedia, last minute, hotels.com because sometimes booking.com isn't always the cheapest.

johnmoore··on Ask HN: How Do You Market A Hotel Comparison Website?
Yeah but anyone who creates a startup has to take marketing into account.

You could have the best website in the world but without marketing or driving traffic to the site makes it a lame duck.

johnmoore··on Ask HN: what projects are you working on?

johnmoore··on WWII pigeon message stumps GCHQ decoders
This would explain why the AOAKN is at the start and end.

BOGWT - BOMBER ON GROUND WITH TROOPS

Because it is important.

johnmoore··on WWII pigeon message stumps GCHQ decoders
You have to look at the facts the message was sent by Sjt W Stot.

You do a search and you find this.

http://www.archieraf.co.uk/archie/1037zau.html

And you will find that there was a sgt H H Stott and his crew position is w/op Air Gunner so hence the sjt W Stot.

You will then find that On 27th April 1942, the crew of Halifax W1037 ZA-U from 10 Squadron failed to return hence the need to send a message.

You will also find that on the birds ID NURP.40.TW.194 and NURP.37.OK.76 - NURP” was the National Union of Racing Pigeons so it was british so this back up the fact it was send by the RAF. The number 40 relates to 1940 but you can't read to much into that if you see this website.

http://www.thebirdman.org/Index/Others/Others-Doc-Birds&...

You will see pigeons with number 38 was used in 1941 and 1942 and a pigeon with number 39 was used in 1945 and a pigeon with number 41 was used in 1942.

So this backs up the argument that the date would be between 1940 and 1945. So the date of the crash in 1942 wouldn't be far off.

All you have to do is find the codes used by Halifax W1037 ZA-U from 10 Squadron. The RAF would have records once you get that you can decode the message.

I thought the GCHQ had smart people working at it.

sgt H H Stott personal number is 1058698 take the first four numbers 1058 and use that as the ciper.

So the first letter A is plus 1 the second letter is O plus O the four letter is A and it is plus 5 which is G and the four letter K is plus 8 which is W so.

The first row is as follows.

BOG WT NHF LD KVG JB GJD IK

Which so far I have translated as.

BOMBER ON GROUND WITH TROOPS NEED HELF FAST LITTLE DEFENCE k___ v____ G_____ J___ B____ G____ J____ D____ I___ K___

Need help solving the rest.
