I was looking into home security camera and it seems like its a bit of a minefield - I was wondering if anyone is building an open source service such as Nest with some of the features of 'IQ'. Cheaper cameras which come with cloud-hosted storage seem to be full of holes and prone to remote hacking.

My friend is has a masters in translation looking for open source projects to help on. I suggested she looked online, as some of the projects I've been involved in have all needed translation at some point. However now I've come to look for a project for her I can't find one. When I used to look at localisation files there were just a set of structured text files. I guess there have now been dedicated toolkits developed to help crowdsource this kind of work. Any advice/pointers would be gratefully received.

Ask HN: Since watching CitizenFour, or previously reading about the widespread surveillance conducted by governments - what changes have you made to how you conduct your life online? Have you adopted any new practices, or stopped or started using any new services?

It would be interesting to see what effect this has had on how people, especially technically included people behave and conduct themselves online. This could include technical solutions you have adopted or might include how you use, or view services which you previously trusted with your data.

Myself, I have switched my email provider away from one of the 'big three'. I have started taking an interest in more 'usable' applications of encryption and have started talking to people about the ramifications of the information brought to light by Snowden and others.
