$100 per month from my Android apps. I have three apps out, and only one is generating most of the money.

$0 from http://favoriteof.com - Site about recommendations by noteworthy people. Currently focusing on books!

I have a setup similar to this:

  laptop - user (userid: me)
  F - firewall (userid: me)
  A - machine 1 in colo (userid: colo)
  B - machine 2 in colo (userid: colo, machine I want to access)
  C - machine 2 in colo (userid: colo)
  .
  .
  100s of machines.

Trust (ssh password less login) is setup between me@laptop and me@F, and me@laptop and colo@A, and between all colo machine (A,B,C..). So colo@A can ssh colo@B w/o password.

I am able to log into colo@A via F w/o password as I copied the ssh key there manually. (path me@laptop -> colo@F -> colo@A)

QUESTION: Is it possible to ssh to other machines (B,C..) via A while assuming full identity of colo@A? (Path would be me@laptop -> colo@F -> colo@A -> colo@B/C/..) With my current config when I try to ssh to B it knows request is originating from 'laptop' and still asks me for password.

Can you share your experiences -- how you promoted your previous apps?

Developed over the last few months - Just a fun way to browse 180+ comic strips on the iPad. There are a many loose ends as this is v1 - but we already took too much time to develop this and wanted real feedback before working on new features.

I have a few coupons to enable free downloads, message me if you want them. Also, what are good ways for generating some buzz? We are already contacting relevant bloggers/forums.

How do you like it HN? We'd love to hear your feedback!

Wow! Do you do all the maintenance of these sites yourself?

Thanks, I had done a Google query - "site:news.ycombinator.com evaluating idea|ideas" and most of the good results didn't come up on first 5 pages. Changing "evaluating" to "evaluate" in the query gives much better results, still I wonder why they are not stemming [or something with similar effect] right away..

Should down voting some one also negatively affect the down voter's karma? It will help restrict the number of down votes anyone will give..

Would some research in the field help ? I am reading http://presnick.people.si.umich.edu//#publications for a term paper, seems very relevant. If anyone has read his work before, can you tell us what is applicable to HN case? I'll post back something when done reading!

For DM, try http://cs345a.stanford.edu, just browse through the slides they are pretty good. Also, if you can find - go for some video lectures about the topic. [try MIT, Berkeley ocw sites].

The author paints too grim a picture of mainframes. Isn't legacy code supposed to be that way? As far as I know, not many new code projects are being done on mainframes. But whatever is there, has to be maintained/upgraded. Mainframes are NOT as difficult to use as the author says. They power most of the big life/general insurance companies, and they do interface well with front-ends [with XSLs in middle to convert from/to string streams]. I have worked for two years on mainframes, and loved the simple editor. Like with any command-line type editor, it has its quirks, but once you learn it, it is very fast. Also, z/OS has some version control systems (Endevour), and really good debuggers.

Westley Weimer has a presentation on the same @ Stanford University today at 2pm (1 hr from now) in Gates 104

Map - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...

I do not go to google.com and then search all that often nowadays. Most of the search takes place right from the search box (Firefox) or directly from Chrome..

This is exactly what I would love to use, sadly won't work with Vista :(

Why are all the better off and useful sites are getting such "your design is a mess" reviews - Zappos, Craigslist, Amazon. I am sure Zappos has a team dedicated to designing their site to the last pixel.

And an open letter to the CEO? seems familiar from a recent dcurtis post :D

yes, he's got good PR here ;-D from comments on some of my previous comments, I'd suggest flagging any posts that you do not like :)

Pasting here for convenience - (by robg) Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.

If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)

http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I have flagged this post, and would request others who agree to do the same. Please, lets not let HN be the next Digg or reddit.

Why does this letter qualify to be on HN. Its got zilch amount of value for Hacker News !

Strangely, I can see a Bing advertisement on the right on Google when I search for "ascii art". Google is letting Bing buy adwords ? :-/

Come on, its not even a Friday today, its just a tool that looks pretty and makes no sense.

Oh yeah, very suitable for HN.

I am not aware of anyway to make an old submitted story resurface in HN. Probably some feature like this would be good to have?

Thanks, I try to share good links that I come across learning stuff at my internship place :)

Ofcourse, theres the super easy Cloudera distribution, but i found this tutorial to be more informative, as you understand the steps in installation better.

if flagging a post like a down vote ? I don't feel that the 'community' based filtering of news is working too well here..

HN is the new tabloid. :(

Google had tried this previously in Froogle, and failed. Now they have done it pretty nicely. I had been expecting this since they introduced Google Squared, which solves a much more general problem than this.

Would this wipe out number of players in "price comparison" space ?

Going by that, even skinning your browser or adding a wallpaper will be called "customization". For people who do not change their computers that often, it is okay to customize to make your screen look prettier. I myself use 2 diff OS on 3 machines regularly, so not much customizations for me :(

It slows down the system a bit though.
