Facebook stock drops below an arbitrary number in a popular number basehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4329708Seriously, HN, please stop submitting micro-updates to the Facebook stock price. The fact that it dropped below $20 (briefly) is terribly tedious. All it means is that (a) Facebook's stock has dropped a bit more and (b) Facebook's stock is below a small multiple of a power of ten.If Facebook stop suddenly drops by 90% then it might be worth discussing, or if Facebook suddenly submits an SEC filing that reveals that the end is nigh. Until then let's not get obsessed with its stock price.There are only 30 spaces on the front page, let's reserve them for something meaningful, not what looks almost like technical analysis and the nonsense about 'support levels'.Aug 2, 2012 5:00 PM

Show HN: Mindcast.com -- My Browser-Based Widget Engine MVPhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4300210Hey everyone! I am building a little browser-based widget engine that is inspired by Corning's "A Day Made of Glass" video. I was hoping to get some feedback on which of my interface decisions made sense and which do not, as this user interface goes a bit off of the beaten path for webapps.Please note that this MVP is made to work with a mouse-based devices. Touch sort-of works, but I've got a bit of work to do before I'm ready to call this MVP-ready for touch devicesHere are some features that (hopefully) makes this widget engine interesting for you:* You can drag the background to scroll the viewport, both vertically and horizontally.* When in edit mode, you can double-click the background and enter a url to embed a web panel/iframe. (... as long as the target webpage doesn't block framing.)* You can minimize/expand web panels, with automatic thumbnail generation by url2png's web service. (... there is processing delay of up to 15 seconds on the thumbnail generation.)* You can set thJul 27, 2012 6:03 AM

Seabiscuit and "The money problem"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4158975Hello world!I'm not exactly sure the right way to approach this, I've never been much for doing things in an orthodox way, so I'll just be straightforward about it. I need to find an investor.I believe that I have all of the necessary ingredients to be successful at what I'm trying to accomplish, but I realize that I need others to believe in me to help me to achieve my potential; few people ever get there alone.I hear prominent figures say that they invest in the people more than the ideas and I wonder how true that is. Do you care more about me or my actual startup? In this case I think both are awesome, so maybe it's your lucky day (or mine).So, yes, I've got a startup. That's a lie, I've got two startups, but one is my baby. We'll get back to that later, for now I want to talk about who I am and why I am writing this.Maybe I suffer from the Dunning–Kruger effect, but I think I might be just the right mix of crazy, creative, and calculated to accomplish something fairly impressive.IJun 25, 2012 10:03 PM

Ask HN: How should I go public with a security hole?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4050901We're evaluating an expensive software system for a certain industry. We've found public facing exploitable holes in the login system (default passwords, improper firewalls, SQL injection), which is directly translatable into profitable fraud.That is, if we used this system and someone exploited it, they could cause direct financial harm. These systems are almost always exposed to the public internet.I spoke to the company, and they seemed rather apathetic about the situation, although they said they'd fix the SQLi. Despite the codebase being in C, they report they've had no RCE security issues, "just crashes". I find that highly unlikely, more no one bothered investigating.How should I handle this? I'm worried for my own company which is at risk, and I'd also like to publish this info, as this market tends to sweep things under the carpet. In the past, with another vendor in the same market, I've privately reported, and found the vendor lied about fixing things and did not explain theMay 31, 2012 11:04 PM
