Ask HN: What makes the perfect office? I'm building one.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4739458I run a web development agency with 18 people. The building we're looking at moving to will need extensive refurbishment, so we have a chance to spec out our office 'wish list' and then build that!So: If you could completely design your office space (aesthetics, layout, furniture, lighting, flooring), how would you want it to be?(We're a Rails agency, working in scrum teams of 2 or 4, doing some pairing but not full-time, based in London).Nov 4, 2012 10:58 AM

Has minimalism gone too far?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4721593I am a minimalist at heart, but practicality & utility override any and all desire for a minimal UI.To a degree minimalism increases usability, cuts down on distractions with other links to other articles,media,etc and lets the user focus on the article or whatever work they're doing if its a desktop app.To be quite frank I'm sick of websites with three miles of whitespace on both sides of an 80 character wide column article text and no navbar or links to get to the website's homepage.examples (from HN's top articles about 30 mins ago) http://mkronline.com/2012/10/30/you-arent-imagining-it-the-web-is-a-mess/ http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/googles-most-advanced-voice-search-has.html http://joel.is/ I'll admit, to a degree, some of it is bad coding/design using fixed sizes in pixels instead of relative sizes for things (em) so the page renders the same independent of screen resolution.The same sort of thing is going on with desktop applications, menus and options are getting gankOct 31, 2012 7:17 AM

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

My mission to solve the problem with Facebook, Google+ etc.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3838747Now I know everyone has their own issues with the current state of social networks. Some have issues with privacy, some have issues with too many friends, some have issues with spam. My issue is with all the above, but more importantly I am sick of the fact that I look like everyone else and I don't own the content. I am being controlled and it needs to stop.I am tired of feeling like I live in an apartment complex where I have no control over how things function or look. It's not even like a complex anymore. It's more like a prison.Best quote in a long time..."If you aren't paying for a product, you are the product."Your data is being sold to advertisers so they can find sneaky was to throw their ads in front of your faces.

Ask HN: Review my idea - Hosting SEOhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3690713Background: This idea was borne out of an internal tool I created to figure out and validate SEO strategies for websites I own. I figure since it works for me, I could try and sell this to a different industry/niche - in this case 'hosting'. This tool currently does not have an UI - I run sql queries directly on the mysql server to get my information. I have created a mockup UI to show how I expect it to work.UI for explaining the app functionality - http://axemantech.com/HostingSEO/Pain point it solves: Currently there are many seo apps that show serp rankings, on page and off page seo stats but seting up the system is generally painful. I dislike having to add keywords for my website, add data for my competitors, etc. This generally happens because these SEO apps are generic.How to solve this: Since this app focuses on a specific niche, it will already be setup with all the potential keywords for the niche (and will continously add new ones). All the data that the customers (people pMar 11, 2012 5:25 PM
