I loved the comment someone left behind: "If you want to present (yourself) as a usability expert, in order to (b)e taken seriously you'll need to avoid taking up 25% of my iPhone's screen with a header that follows my scrolling."

Thanks for the typo catch.

All the hubs are fixed, which means that outgoing flights will not exist/be shown to airports which are not part of the search/parser. Clearly this is a limitation, but I'm not considering all airports in US either. Might you know all the main Brazilian airports with high traffic to/from US?

Only the cheapest flights are shown, so when you click SSA, for example, you will see the cheapest outgoing flights by date for all the US hubs.

Thanks

No problem. Not sure of all the highest traffic airports to/from the US but if you download the latest PDF from Infraero (http://www.infraero.gov.br/index.php/br/estatistica-dos-aero...) you can see which BR airports have the highest traffic internationally and therefore deduce that they probably offer flights to the US...or at least cross-check them.

You can switch the language to english by clicking on the translation button, also many (if not all) of the flights are only updated for monthly travel time, so make sure you aren't choosing 15 days. (I'm still working through putting my parser to run in parallel).

Referrals, last I read, where indeed being removed.. I think the monetization will be in showing things to do in the place, events that are ongoing, friends' travel plans...but this market is so overloaded. Let's talk, maybe we can brainstorm something together.

You can definitely monetize tours/excursions/attractions via services like Viator. We haven't had huge amounts of luck with it but the option definitely exists. Contact me directly: lackner@gmail.com

It is from the Stanford daily... the headline is justified

It is justified in the context of the Stanford Daily. HN is in a totally different context, so this headline, copied verbatim, is misleading.

At first I thought "The title is bait.... what a waste of time, etc...". Clearly the problem isn't HTTPS, it is the current CA structure. I then went on Chris' site (http://noncombatant.org/) and there he summarizes it well: "The problems are social and economic more than technical. The technical problems are in usability, not in cryptography. In general, security people should start learning about usability."

I still argue that the is no 'usability' problem, but rather 'ignorance'. The fact that https has been hailed as 'secure' to the user (who has no formal understanding of what 'secure' is) is what has led up to the problem he is venting about...

I’m not sure that usable security is possible. In general, it’s the pattern that security requires less than ideal user experiences. For example, being emailed your password when you forget it would be “nicer” than getting a password-reset link, but requires breach of server-side best practice; not having to use a password at all would of course be the very easiest and least secure “solution” for authentication; the most secure measures require two-factor authentication and are necessarily the most annoying.

The observation of this pattern is perhaps obvious, but important.

Is there an option to share sensitive files w/out going through your servers? Just wondering....

but when you buy the iPad, you have to sync it to the computer in order to use it right?!? I'll take the USB port any day over having to sync to iTunes...

and "if the package says Made for iPad buy it and it will work as soon as you plug it in" -> this is the whole concept behind having USB drivers for a certain platform/OS. if I have the driver for OSX, it will work...

Apple might never add a USB port.. but they will surely come out with a dongle sarcasm

It's not about a trade off between syncing or a USB port.

At least the Made for iPad is a program that places guarantees that it works, it's controlled and places confidence in the user that this product is pretty much worry free.
