> a Tor exploit of some kind to force the browser to return the user’s actual IP address, operating system, MAC address, and other data. As part of the operation that took down Playpen, the FBI was then able to identify and arrest the nearly 200 child porn suspects.

So, is getting someone arrested as easy as spoofing their network information and visiting those sites? I can already imagine trolls using this to have people swatted.

IMHO, that will depend on the type of business, but getting basic understanding of sales (like, actual deal closing), marketing, and hiring are crucial no matter what.

Even if you plan to bring co-founders on board, understanding the basics of what they do goes a long way establishing trust.

Another thing, which is not a skill, is to understand that techcrunch is not a fair representation of the tech world (& neither is HN), and that building a business is not about making the frontpage, it is about bringing solutions to problems so painful that people are willing to pay you for it.

I believe a lot of us here on HN would consider leaving programming for doing business. A lot (including myself) already did.

Programming being very often about solving business needs, sometime in your career, you might be in a position to realize that it could make sense to go higher up the chain and build a company.

Then again, I don't only do software consulting, I ship (or fix, or optimize) solutions on time to help my clients make way more than I cost them.

Wow, very good experience you guys are delivering here! Congratulations on shipping!

Little question, you guys said you started in Beijing, and that your next plans are NYC and Europe... Why did you leave Beijing? Didn't the local growth attract you?

Don't know how good you are with cache invalidation

But your naming game is tight, that's without a question

Hey guys! We're in the middle of modernizing a large codebase, and are looking for:

- A Rust programmer (we might consider remote for this job).

- A Java backend programmer (devops background appreciated).

We use CI, can deploy code fast, have a great office in central Tokyo, and can provide competitive salaries. We're still a relatively small team, so there's a lot of room for impact!

Reach me at klodio at name of the company dot com.

True!

Plus this would allow the author to host this service on an cheap and robust s3+cloudfront setup!

What made the MB "Pro", if memory serves right, it was filled with components that represented the state of the art when it was released. Best screen, latest generation of CPU, PCIe SSDs, etc... The best you could possibly get, in a sturdy, well designed machine, coming with an OS that just works.

In 2013, some company even found that the best performing Windows laptop was a MBP (!). [1]

As with other recent Microsoft devices, I feel like:

- This computer looks very good

- The specs look more than decent (skylake, 32gb ram...)

...but

- It's going to be poorly distributed (at least where I live, in Asia). I'm not even expecting a synchronized worldwide release.

- I'll have a hard time working in an Unix-friendly environment (the only reason why I bought macs so far)

- I wouldn't be surprised if it's insanely overpriced in Asia (like the Surface Book is)

So I'm pretty sure I'll unfortunately have to pass, and so will most people I work with.

The Microsoft buying experience is horrendous, and that's too bad now that their OS sounds OK, and their hardware is probably the best PC hardware you can get.

I would not say you're wrong but I believe it's important to note that the racism is not blatant, but rather perverse. As an example, foreigners working in a large Japanese organization will often feel a clear glass ceiling blocking their career advancement, regardless of their results, because of not being Japanese.

Another form of xenophobia is with the rental market, where a large proportion of places is simply out of reach for foreigners, regardless of their income level. Positive point is that this is usually not the case for the more premium bracket.

On the other hand, immigrating to Japan is very simple for qualified labor, which is great for foreigners looking for some experience here.

That's pretty smart! I can totally see myself using this service. Using an SMS interface instead of an app or a website is great, as it is inherently cross-platform, and reduces time to market and maintenance work.

Wow, this code is so easy to read.

Even though I might not use this package as I don't have any Go project in my pipeline, reading the code was a nice learning experience and just demystified a few things about image processing for me.

Go might not be one of my favorite languages, but its readability is just great (or maybe this codebase isn't idiomatic Go?).

> Integration with IDEs.

That's a fair point, but Rsync or shared folders should have you covered for this.

This.

Heck, even my mother is able to change the battery of her Samsung phone when she's out all day taking pictures, and she's as far as it gets from an engineer.

Bringing the argument of "consumers want something that works" every time some are looking for a repairability/upgradeability path only leads to this false dichotomy of splitting the world between nerds and fools.

Not if you actually work in the VM, and do not expose database ports to the host (why in hell would you do this anyway). No amount of ip scanning is going to open ports.

For those who don't want to waste time debating this, if you use vim, you can just use tabs all the time and configure the expandtab, tabstop and shiftwidth settings to fit with the project you're working with.

This way, no matter the preference of the organization you're dealing with, you'll be able to use your muscle memory and forget about this spaces vs tabs war. It also helps you not to care about the 2 vs 4 vs 8 spaces debate. Just input tabs, set the right shiftwidth, and your code will lint ok!

edit: This is not a "VIM IS BEST" comment, I'm sure other text editors and IDEs have similar options, but I can't comment as vim is what I use.

Vim does:

   vim file -c ':syntax off'

Yet there is such a thing as a middle ground in criticism. I'm glad HN is not product hunt (a mix of "hey check my alternative product" and "hey that's amazing, best product ever, wow"), but the comments on that thread were harsh cheap shots taken at the author. Only a single commenter was able to provide constructive feedback, which is a shame.

>“With the rise of China and China’s infatuation with Korean culture, it’s breathed new life into Korean start-ups and founders, Mr. Chae said. “This is a market that happens to be a lot bigger than the U.S., that seems to be more welcoming for Korean technology and culture than the Western world ever was.”

This paragraph is telling much than the rest of the article. Working in Japan, I see a similar trend. Except for those already well implanted, companies are not interested in the western world anymore. Not only it's hard, but it's not growing as fast as Asia.

Hiring teams that can understand the target market and culture is also much simpler, and marketing channels are simpler to understand.

In this precise case, it has much more to do with : - It's been launched by Naver, a tech company with deep pockets, not a startup. - It can access China.

Well, even rich people enjoy free lunch. If there are this kind of attractive women on those apps, why wouldn't ultra attractive males (those that 95% of women would say yes to) be there too?

> It's a semi prison if you are not allowed to update your profile at a job you work.

It's not disallowed, it's just not good. You might not pay attention when your employees are looking for other jobs, but most business owners do, and react rather negatively to it.

> it is not such a scandal as OP makes it out to be

OP posted a one-line "Tell HN" comment, you're actually the one calling it a scandal.

Oh this is absolutely true, but there is a non trivial proportion of MMA fighters with a serious wrestling background, even in UFC. A good amount of skills are transferable between those two sports, as different as they are.

Can't wait to try it out!

I wish the homepage was as descriptive as your Show HN post, but that's a great start.

Congratulations on shipping your prototype, guys. Good luck with the business!

Very impressive photography work in this article.

I would really like to see how this type of wrestling evolves in the next few years, and if we'll see champions try to join international MMA leagues like UFC.

This is from 2014, maybe it should be marked as such. Incredibly touching story nonetheless.

You're being harsh, he's just trying to provide you with a solution. I understand your feeling though, DRM is infuriating to say the least.

In the SV, it's not uncommon for iOS and Rails developers to be paid six figures after only a little training.

This is exactly what you said was happening in the dotcom era: middle class people put in high paying positions.

The point about the stock market stands though. It is the strongest difference the current era has with the 90s.

And that would be OK. He doesn't have a PR department.
