Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

Hacker News post about Pony Forum

Show HN: My forum project; a different philosophy than Discourse

tl;dr: http://pony-forum.com, forums are in again, baby!

I was abroad earlier last week, so I unfortunately was not there to join in on the discussion of Jeff Atwood’s Discourse[1].

Atwood’s project has received a lot of attention, and revitalizing the forum software of yore has suddenly become a part of the public conversation. Because of this, I feel like I should bring your attention to my own forever project[2], which has been years in the making from the idea stage. I am not quite planning on “launching” it any time soon, but the project, Pony Forum, is relevant to the discussion for a few reasons:

  1. As another “modern” take on forum software, it allows us to conceptualization modern forums from multiple perspectives.

  3. Create a psql database table based on your local_settings.py
  4. Set up virtualenv
  5. pip install -r requirements.txt
  6. sh build_forum.sh
  7. You can now log in as admin using admin//password
  8. ... assuming all goes well

“We’ve Been Hacked” Boilerplate Announcement

How Companies Communicated Being Hacked

Evernote

It’s probably a pretty bad idea to have your site go down, when people are supposed to read the blog post explaining the hack.

Twitter

Notice how another site reporting the hack received more attention than Twitter’s own announcement. Why was that?

Translation of Danish article on Microsoft (reportedly) owing the Danish government ~$1B. 
!!! ATTRIBUTION & NOT BEING AN ASSHOLE 101 !!!

I just translated the article, so I only deserve credit for the translation.
    Even so, this is not your translation to copy-paste to your for-profit blog.
    Link to this translation instead.
    (It’s not that damn hard to write about this in your own words, lazy bloggers.)

ALWAYS (ALWAYS!) credit the original article and its authors when reporting on the story.
