I would expect this relates to Hashicorp's Vault product. It's gaining some notoriety and employs Shamir's secrets to seal/unseal the main vault.

I really wonder why no ones mentions typography. In terms of great typesetting the Kindle is somewhere in the 60's. Since at least LaTEX (not talking about Adobe and Apple products) ligatures and other niceties found their way into computers. Any by all means - this is a dedicated reading-machine!
I still love my Kindle, mainly for jgrahamc's reasons.

Re:Ask HN: Django or ROR or CakePHP or else should I choose?
on Friday August 05, 2011 @02:33PM (#2851142)
I'd say - it doesn't matter. As a person who faced the same choice two years ago, I went with RoR. Mostly because of the bigger community around it.
By now I mostly consider it great because it is basically a best-practise sharing example. Any of these frameworks expose you to currently brewing technologies - and that helped me a lot along the way.

To get a frequently updated version set a recipe up at http://readbeam.com. It's easy, just did this with TechCrunch and it worked nicely. (This functionality is still in beta but is expected to be released end of this week)
So I get all the feed articles mailed right on my Kindle every day at 6 am and 6 pm (0 6,18 * * *).

Subscribe to news sources with your Kindle&iPad - doggy style
I would like to pick your brain and offer a hopefully useful service at the same time.On http://readbeam.com/ I have cobbled together basically a hosted version of calibre. This allows you to either request news sources manually or have them sent to you on a schedule e.g: Get me the New York Times every morning at 6 and mail it automagically to my Kindle - like having your dog fetch the paper...
Show HN: Help Amazon EC2 be a foremost supporter of WikiLeaks and Tor
I just set up a new Amazon EC2 account, free for one year, with their Free Usage Tier (http://aws.amazon.com/free/) and installed a Tor Proxy on it. Quite easy to do and as long as you keep an eye on the transfer volume it doesn't cost a dime! (30 GB are free) Why not help Amazon to be a first class supporter of WikiLeaks and the first amendment?

I am using GoDaddy for m throw-away domains and regfish.com for more specialized TLDs. Regfish has a great, personal service, is based in Germany (how about that for a change ;-) and has decent prices. Great UI, lot less slack than GoDaddy.

Hope that finally makes them wake up to the new world! Nokia is one of the poster childs of a successful corporate giant missing the famous 'clue train' completely. Would like to see some really open handsets/mobile OSses to boot.
