It sounds like you think that trolls are not hateful towards women because they don't 'mean' the hateful things they say and do. I disagree - I don't care what you 'really believe', if you do and say hateful things towards someone then you are hateful to them and you should be counted in the group.

Am I the only one who had the last iPhone 3 iOS update? It almost bricked the damn phone, making the interface impossibly slow.
I'm interested. I probably wont ever use Haskell again, but it would be nice to see that there is more to the community than the self-congratulatory cleverness competition that I experienced.

Light Table is build on Node-Webkit and it feels pretty good most of the time. (Opening folders is the only spot I've found where it's like, "Wait, something is a little off here.")
Everyone is saying meditation etc, I would disagree. A major part is the ability to put this experience in motion/action which I find counterintuitive to meditation. Quite frankly no, I do not think it is replicable to be able to turn off the filters in which are responsible for keeping the raw data to a manageable level, that is much different than increasing your sensitivity through deprivation. Alteration of brain chemistry may be simulated in the future, but there is no replacement today.
> my personal belief is that all work is valuable, otherwise it wouldn't be desired.

This rather begs the question. In the absence of a market mechanism for determining what work is desired, how do you determine what work is valuable?
At least on X86 that truncation behavior is free. 32-bit EAX is just first 32-bits of RAX.
Depression has plenty of evidence linking it to inflammation. If we can start seeing it not in terms of mind/body dualism, or on some outmoded moral spectrum, but on the same terms as any other illness, like the common cold, we'll make a lot of progress with it as a society. Much like the common cold, it probably has many different causes (like colds are causes by many viruses) but the same disease phenotype.

What you might be getting at with the comment that "everyone has it" is that modern society seems to cause depression just as surely as swimming in sewage will cause other illnesses. Much like society prior to germ theory, widespread depression will continue until we can learn more about the causes and mechanisms. People used to think other illnesses were moral failing or spiritual possession until we discovered that it was from drinking water that someone else crapped in. So how many things are crapping on your mental health? Are they really inevitable and necessary, or just bad cultural programming and assumptions about what society should look like? How much might be from strictly physical causes like air pollution? (There's research backing that.)
I've only read a bit of the SEP but more websites like that would be amazing. Well structured, clear and easy to read.
Because the law was written at a time when some beaches were already private property, and so its provisions were written to grandfather in existing private beaches while preventing future ones from being created. So many legal arguments end up centering on the original usage of the land.
> This allows for more aggressive optimizations by the compiler.

And also more useful warnings from static analysis, since if the analysis can prove that the value will overflow this is guaranteed to be an error.
They did this by 2-folds. One strengthening by changing its inner workings so it will be immune to cryptographic attacks, but on the other hand they lowered the key space, which allowed them to brute-force it. Luckily we learn it by now, the longer the key, the better.
Wow. And they don't expire.
My personal speculation is that it is do with the current lack-of-performance currently in Intel GPUs. Intel’s current i3 two chip performance is not as enticing graphically as the Nvidia’s two chip solution with a Core 2 Duo processor. I think a better question is why does Apple keep insisting on a Nvidia or AMD GPU in their current products? It’s a question that Anand Lal Shimpi has asked as well:

“Apple is up to something. For the past 1.5 years every single Mac has shipped with some form of NVIDIA graphics, standard, regardless of price. These are all G9x based GPUs with full support for OpenCL. From the looks of it, Apple is trying to broaden its install base of OpenCL compliant machines. In preparation for what I'm not really sure, but something is coming.“

(http://www.anandtech.com/show/3762/apples-13inch-macbook-pro...)
The i3's GPU sucks so it would need an additional discrete GPU, which would cost more and require a larger motherboard.
> I imagine he's just as angry that the Android UI is basically a second-rate knockoff.

[citation needed]

I used an iPhone for a couple years, got a G1 and used it for a while, got a Nexus One and used it for a while, used the iPhone for a little while longer, and then switched back to the Nexus One for good.

My preference is Android (for a myriad of reasons, including the UX); got anything non-anecdotal that speaks to this, or at least a (neutral) third-party authority on UX?

Thanks, I'll think about it. I'm pretty sure we do add the "http:// if you forget it, but we don't strip duplicate protocols out. I can check for that as well.

"Terrible" might be a bit far, though.
I live in Springfield, and so far it actually seems like the most dangerous parts are the right hand turns from MO-13 on to I-44 (step 6 on the interactive diagram). A lot of people forget that although they have bypassed the traffic signal they still have to yield to the oncoming traffic from the opposite side of MO-13 that they would typically be looking at to check right of way.
As someone who is currently going through setting up a company, a list of words I didn't read in that article include: incorporation, insurance, attorney, EIN.

I can assure you these costs alone are well above $156. I don't know of a single state that looks kindly on un-registered businesses. I'm about to spend my Friday night (and Saturday and Sunday) doing legal research so I don't have to pay my attorney to use the Googles.

At some point anything beyond an idea will need to be backed by a legal entity, and that process is no joke.
> the largest performance indicator of a child's success is the value their parents place on education.

+100

> This means that we need to stop heaping blame on teachers, administrators, schools and local authorities for perceived inadequacies.

Well sometimes authorities are to blame. Look, in my country,being a teacher used to be like being a lawyer or a doctor.

It used to be a prestigious profession.

Then some politicians,influencial thinkers came in and said,"we need to focus on children,they have special needs,they are always right and if they cant learn properly it's the adults fault". 30 years forward and the education here is totally broken,teachers are despised both by students and parents who want instant gratification no matter how dumb their offspring is.

But hey,they cant be wrong,they've been told all their life they are "special" and always right ...

> Regardless of whether the parent's are rich or poor, the children of these parents often struggle, and achieve below expected results in national examinations.

The big difference is rich people can literally buy a career for their offspring even if they perform poorly at school. At worse, they'll have a job at mom and pop's business.
Well if they want to get it from you then certainly they must pay, but the question is basically whether your property rights extend to someone other than you.

> Are you saying that because it's digital, it not longer has any value?

Well one might not go that far, but the marginal cost is zero.
> Finland is not a fan of standardization in education. However, teacher education in Finland is carefully standardized. All teachers must earn a master’s degree at one of the country’s research universities.

I don't think the author makes a convincing point as to why standardization is bad for students but somehow beneficial to teachers.

> There is another “teacher quality” checkpoint at graduation from School of Education in Finland. Students are not allowed to earn degrees to teach unless they demonstrate that they possess knowledge, skills and morals necessary to be a successful teacher.

So prospective teachers would be tested on teacher quality prior to graduation in an academic sense but not while they're actually teaching? Not sure if you can test on paper or by demonstration whether someone is an effective teacher. It is certainly more easily visible in the field.

It's a shame many in America don't respect teachers. Perhaps the resentment is due to the fact that most in America don't have a choice as to the primary school they attend. Like most Americans, I've had terrible teachers in the past and did feel some resentment. It was less infuriating in college since at least I had some choice as to the classes and school I attended. Coincidentally, I notice professors get a lot more respect.
Interesting way to get some value out of projects without necessarily finishing them.

I'm all for (ab)using specs whenever convenient, but this is just such a bad idea.

You will rarely actually use query args (ie ?x=y&foo=1) with a true REST API anyway. Use your resource path and avoid query args except for idempotent GET operations. If you have complex data, just put it in a request body as JSON. Don't put that crap in a query arg. That's not what it's for.
You're right, clients will be responsible for inserting data, re-balancing the tree etc.
DOM events do form an inheritance hierarchy. For example, TouchEvent and MouseEvent both inherit from UIEvent.

But for compatibility reasons, we can't make arbitrary changes to legacy APIs. So rather than, say, change MouseEvent to be a subtype of PointerEvent, we have to do the reverse and have PointerEvent extend MouseEvent.
it doesn't really close the door on most ideas in the sense that everybody realizes that the likelihood of being a $10B is quite small. But if it is literally zero, then this company may not be the right fit for YC. I would say if you think the likelihood of your company being worth $10b is zero, you should carefully think about why you think you need venture money in the first place.
I recommend listening to the whole Blumberg's Startup podcast, where that pitch came from. While you shouldn't take it as a lecture on how to start a business, it's certainly entertaining, well produced and it shows you that side of the story that you usually don't get to hear.

> My only worry is that the innovators behind Dart are going to be stuck on the Dart project while JavaScript gains their features and even more momentum. I would suggest that they let Dart die and not be stuck with it for years after it has stopped being relevant -- that would be a waste of their talents as they did really see what the future would be.

I am somewhat sympathetic to what you are saying here. OTOH, the fact that the web is basically all one programming language[1] is a situation that I find a bit unfortunate. Why shouldn't the browser have a PL ecosystem as rich as the desktop? And why couldn't Dart be part of that?

[1] Yes, I know the world is full of compile-to-JS languages. But still, being a web developer today mostly means being a JS developer.

Nope.

OK, then I should have worded it like this: I can visualize a 4 dimensional vector space over the reals. Even if the 4th dimension in your particular setting is not time, I can still visualize it as such.

Also, visualizing an n dimensional vector is not very interesting. A vector indicates a point, and a point looks the same in any number of dimensions.
Wonder if Attachmate is keeping Mono, or if it makes part of the assets being sold off to CPTN Holdings LLC (whatever it is they do).
I find that he exudes glee with some parts of his presentations. I use a ThinkPad running Windows, but I do like my iPhone 3G (which, granted, I got as a present and didn't plan to buy) and want to get an iPhone 4 at some point, but I wouldn't say that he's "sold me". I don't buy into a lot of the things he talks about in his keynotes (I found the Windows 7 mockery a while ago downright juvenile). I like iOS and some of the Stevenotes about it, but not Mac---and don't get me started on Safari and iTunes. FaceTime is a bit of a joke, too, considering that classmates used 3G cellphone videochat in my high-school in 2003. J

When you study his lecture techniques and take five seconds to consider his numbers and superlatives, a lot of the sales pitch falls apart. I would not feel out of line to say that some of the claims are blatant lies. Even so, there still remains some indescribable magic in it reminiscent of a child-like fascination that Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto also (used to) focus on.

However, it is not impossible that I have been soundly duped by his superb acting skills as "happy Steve".

This is probably me back-pedalling and rephrasing my comment to say that he often exudes pure glee, particularly when using the videogames. It's more of a particular than a holistic observation, but I find these instances infectious.
> Don't listen to the naysayers and nanny-poos.

I read a lot and I have developed a selective comprehension. For anyone whose thoughts I admire, I found a lot I disagree with. For example, the recent debate about "Linus vs C++", there is a lot to disagree in Linus's criticism of C++, but from where I see, he is making some very valid points and if we cut the flame, it's an interesting post.

I am trying to apply the same principle here. I am filtering the not-so-polite words, pondering over what the critic has to say and then making the decision if I agree or not. For example, I don't agree with "having a formal business plan". I have considered it and I don't see the usefulness of it.

>You might find that your hardest part of this is getting to those customers because they don't know what to look for.

This. This is the biggest hurdle I have. I can pull off the technical aspects of the product and I can work on the SEO and have it featured on Google search results when you search for "online store". It might not concur exactly with my plans but atleast I know how to go about it. But I have no damn clue how do I reach the customer base who needs the service but is ignorant towards it.

I know there are a lot of people who want to have online stores. I know many of them use shopify and I see that shopify advertises more than 6000 stores. This puzzles me. 6000 is too small a number for the web. I might sound over confident but frankly, I am not very concerned about shopify. I am willing to compete over prices and features. But what concerns me is there is a huge untapped market segment and I have no ideas how do I capture them.
Your example uses javascript, while the retina demo does not.

> This is the power of CSS3: doing the same things we've always done.

True, but CSS3 enables us to do the same things without javascript.
Just because lots of your buddies use it, doesn't make it useable. Git approaches the useability of iptables, which is to say, utterly unusable unless you have the manpage tattooed on you arm.
Well, yeah ... as I said it's just marketing.

Marketing is used to increase the visibility of a product or to hide its flaws.

In this particular case the elephant in the room is that Apple built something that looks and smells like a platform, but it's just a tightly controlled product line, probably with the intention of earning a monopoly on smartphones (both on hardware and on software).

And what better way to do it than ... getting people's attention on a holy war to purge the world of evil-doers like Google and Adobe, both of which have the capacity to reduce the iOS to a mere platform that can be replaced / be subject to anti-trust laws.
It's a terrific idea, but incredibly difficult execution given the regulatory environment.
Very interesting to think about. Being more left-leaning myself, it makes me wonder whether there was some truth to accusations of US lockdowns being the beginning of a slippery-slope of power grabs. I'm not concerned, but I might be if I lived overseas.
I have a Dacor (Samsung owned high end brand) fridge. It works as advertised, but they forgot to advertise that a sociopath had a hand in some of the design decisions (deep learning spyware hooked to cameras that will p2p tunnel with samsung TVs; the metal front is incompatible with refrigerator magnets).

Anyway, we also have a samsung washer dryer pair. We had some issues during initial installation, and had to deal with samsung support. It was so bad that we now regret the fridge purchase (it’s probably a different division, but for how long?), and will never buy samsung again. Not sure what brand of SSD to use moving forward.

In related news, I read yesterday that they’re being sued because the tech support chat people (calling them is completely futile) are paid $0 + sales commissions.

This one fact explains more about my interaction with samsung tech support than any article about corporate culture ever could.

(I also know people that worked there. It sounds horrible from the inside too. On top of that, appliance parts suppliers in my area confirm that samsung is one of the worst possible choices for after sales support).
Success can cover a lot of failures. But once there is a hiccup or competition catches up the true scale of the problems can suddenly become apparent.

Mike, you might try using GoodReader on the iPad to view the PDF. It uses a different PDF rendering engine than iBooks. I believe it is a bit better with larger PDFs, but really with PDFs like the Google PDFs which are basically a collection of image files in a PDF container, it's going to bog down a lot of computers, handheld or not.
I don't think most scientists should blog. In fact, I think most scientists would rather not blog because you have two options:

1. Blog on an academic level: Use all the big words, acronyms, and assumptions that go along with your educations level and maximize the academic audience. This feels the most natural but reaches the smallest audience.

2. Blog on a general level: Break down everything so that the general audience will understand it.

There is no such thing as a middle ground, and as a general rule, these two audiences are almost mutually exclusive.

A lot of the people here have been burned by enough startups that they're cynical.
I -was- in the same boat. I've been programming, and generally mucking about doing constructive stuff since I was 12. When I went through by degree, I got so bored with everything. The way things were done, the people etc. I really thought of becoming something silly like a florist - less bullshit.

In the end, I went back to what I loved to do, small side-projects. Having an idea, and building that idea is the best feeling ever.

I posted my big idea, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=920110, a while a go, in the hope that someone else would execute it. I now see that I should have made that explicit by saying "I think this is an important idea, but poor health prevents me moving forward with it, so I'm posting it in the hope that others will pick it up and run with it."

It never occurred to me that anyone would be shy of "stealing" an idea off a public forum. The expected value of a raw idea is negative. One invests time and money in execution only to discover that the idea is not viable. One ends up regretting ever having heard of it.
How is this taking advantage of someone?
From http://techblog.netflix.com/2010/12/html5-and-video-streamin...:

We expect to be able to publish a draft of a Netflix profile describing a limited subset of the MPEG DASH standard early next year. It will define the requirements for premium on-demand streaming services like ours and will take advantage of hooks included in the DASH standard to integrate the DRM technologies that we need to fulfill our contractual obligations to the content providers, thus covering the sixth item on our list.

They aren't very coy about saying they need DRM.

Even leaving the DRM aside, some sort of agreed-upon standard for items 1-5 and 7 would still be very helpful; these are all capabilities that are left to Flash or Silverlight for cross-platform capabilities, and I'd think there would be plenty of use cases that could find one or more of those very helpful. (Adaptive bitrate streaming would be a huge improvement, and I'm sure Justin.tv would love a cross-platform streaming video standard.)
While I'm really into minimalism, the minimalist packaging doesn't appeal to me, simply because it looks like "white brands". I don't know if that's used in English, so I'll give an explanation : a "white brand product" is a product which mimics a better know product but which is priced much lower and, most often, is of much worse quality. It may be conditioning, but it doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't buy the product.

This sentiment is also expressed by the first commenter on the page :

"dutch supermarkets did it with their low budget labels and that was the reason i came home with two pakages of strawberry yogurt instead of buttermilk this week. it looks nice, but it's confusing when shopping "

I must admit that a few looks better than the original tough : Red Bull, Lindt and Schweppes.
