It's probably even worse than that: we probably actively dislike what we don't know.

First, it's an excuse to not know; I don't know this, not because I'm lazy and didn't make the effort to check it out, but because, you know, it's bad, or beyond me.

And second, it's hard to dislike something you actually got to know, because knowing requires some sort of empathy.

You can list all the problems with something you know, and say why it's not as good as it could be, etc., but if you declare that you "hate" it whole, it's a sign you don't know much about it.
Both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 have several revisions, while not being directly tied to the "compression" which might be the wrong choice of words IPMP hooks into virtually every step in the encoding and decoding pipeline.
You can implement multiple IP controls over every bit of the format from audio streams to the scene constructing language that is used to rebuild the scene it self so you can technically put DRM on individual elements so you can literally force people to pay money to see Kevin Spacey instead of a banana in house of cards without having to encode 2 completely different video streams into the file, but I'm pretty sure people will pay extra to see a banana instead of Kevin Spacey.

And while you can make a DRM free encoder it's still wasn't the argument that i was talking about if there won't be a well established and well integrated DRM mechanism within the design of the Codec it will be dead in the water since for a codec to be widely accepted these days it needs to be adopted by the media/movie/tv/streaming/content delivery whatcha gonna call it industry and that industry needs DRM.
Heck even sites like YouTube use DRM these days (paid content trough), Twitch and other similar sites will eventually have to enable DRM too if they want to offer premium content as it's much easier to gate people with DRM than to have some weird session based authorization for streaming which is a nightmare and doesn't really work as DRM.
And using multiple codecs (cie? x's? xes?) is probably not a viable approach either.

It does have some framework properties, like the whole plugin mechanism.
Minus automatically deleting apps to make space, iCloud on iPhones already does pretty much everything the article says they plan to do. I'm sure something similar exists for Android (I'm not knowledgable).

Also, I enjoy the use of "hard drive". Good job, technology magazine writer + editor(s).
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I have wondered this myself. Between punishing sites that are not mobile responsive and this move I wonder if their motivations are partly fueled by the fear that mobile users are spending more times within native apps and not enough time on the web.

As you can read here their response to the EU antitrust lawsuit http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/14/internal-google-memo-respon... google makes the argument that users spend a lot of time inside apps. I would expect they are worried about the ability for users to go directly to content and bypass search from which they make money.

I'm not sure which side of the fence I fall on. The web is arguably a more open technology than native apps but the experience in a native app is often better.

What does this mean for DRM?
If the cataclysm happened in a way that we can easily predict, it would not be that valuable of information. It would be like a dead person coming back to warn you that car crashes can kill people.
Donald Hoffman: Do we see reality as it is?
it was re:the comment, not the OP. I totally understand :)
True, and I use a bouncer myself, but it's something you have to set up explicitly - Slack already does it for you. Notifications as well - you can get emails, or texts, or the app on your phone can ping you.

And sure, a bouncer with some plugins could do it, but you'd have to set it all up. I've had "have bouncer email me when I'm mentioned in a channel" as a mental to-do for the past five years, and it's never been a high-enough priority for me to sit down and expend the minimum of two hours it would take (and likely much more.)
The long tail for video is DVD and videotape, only a subset of which are licensed by streaming services.
Huh, that's pretty cool actually; I've never heard of that. I love early synths, there's some wonderfully convoluted systems.
I'm basing my criticism of their vision based on statements like this one:

"By connecting your phone to the Internet—not just through apps and notifications, but at every corner of the operating system [...]"

And mistaken assumptions such as this one:

“When iOS started development and Android started development, that was 10 years ago. Networks were much slower, Wi-Fi was much less ubiquitous, and AWS hadn’t democratized cloud to the extent that it has, right? So because of that, a lot of choices were made that result in user pain points today, which could actually be alleviated by leveraging the cloud in the way we’re doing.”

Guess what, WiFi still isn't ubiquitous for 90%+ of the population that uses smartphones, and probably won't be anytime soon (think 3rd world countries, rural areas, etc.)
Yes, it is a wonderful fiction that 'black' means something particular. There is more genetic diversity in Africa than in the rest of the world combined. Any genetic argument predicated on 'black' genes has to be nonsense.
I agree and I wish I had insight into what exactly is going on inside Google. A couple of hypotheses:

1. Someone (or a group of people) within mistakenly believes this design aesthetic[1] is good and have gained a lot of political power. I guess they like things that look pretty in screenshots instead of things that are actually useful or intuitive?

2. They're heavily optimizing for some metric (engagement, user growth, whatever) that is orthogonal to (or has a small component along) the usability vector.

[1] Simplistic defaults, not easily configurable, flat, tons of whitespace, etc...
No... I think inventing build systems is about as useful as inventing standards at least 80% of the time
The tilted 'e' immediately reminds me of Enron.

You know: "Even the 'E' was crooked."
You know, at some point (and we are around that point) Google does cross a line where they are abusing their near monopoly on search. This is a pro consumer move, but it's another instance of Google saying do things our way or we punish you.

Unfortunately your continued use of that analogy has backfired.

If a car manufacturer used to sell black cars, then added other colors, if their own dealers refused to sell the additional colors, it would be entirely reasonable for the manufacturer to step in (since it hurts the manufacturer's brand). So in that analogy, the manufacturer is right.

The reality is that Google aren't a car manufacturer, they're more like a car magazine. Suddenly they decide not to feature trucks, and therefore Bobs BigTruckin modal X2000 coming out next month is penalised because they won't be featured in the next issue.

Is it "fair?" In general, yes, but in this specific case because Google holds a monopoly on the market you could argue it is unfair. A lot of sites will suddenly see a large drop-off of traffic if they didn't get the memo, because so many depend on Google for redirects.
No need to slippery-slope this one. Google have been very consistent about ranking exclusively based on UX quality. Once they actually decide to rank based on something else, then we can start raising a fuss about it.

Until then, the snark seems unwarranted, though I agree that there's good reason to be concerned: they definitely have a lot of power here, despite not having seemed to abuse it yet. That seems like an interesting conversation to have, especially in a more substantive format.
God I hate tapatalk with a passion. It's even worse when it redirects you to the front of a forum instead of the thread you were trying to get to.

Super awesome! A few buddies and I use TriviaBot. So much fun. Can't wait to install this.
I would like to see a vote based search engine with modified reddit-style searching where a single vote's relevance is a function of its age and the number of existing votes. (but without the post life cycle of reddit where posts drop because of age)
The author's claim to "a kind of nervous contrarianism" in searching for new directions for growth is interesting. I think it highlights the limits of arbitrary aesthetics as detached from the more concrete needs of life. The themes in Hess's the Glass Bead Game come to mind - Hess builds a beautiful ivory tower of pure ideas, detached from reality, and then tears it down before your eyes, bringing the focus back to people and their need for growth.

I like the idea (can't remember where I saw it) for a service that helps connect readers with books that would help them with their evolution. I think this idea is powerful and can take the idea of self-help to a much deeper level that encompasses spirituality and psychological well-being rather than just fads and fashion trends by helping people find novels that aren't straightforwardly "about" an area of life but happen to address it deeply in their own way.

Am I correct in saying that the shuffle algorithm is flawed? It looks to me like it swaps each card iteratively with a random card in the deck. This means that some cards are likely shuffled more times that others, and some sequences are then more common than others.

Did some work for a mammary related business many years ago.

A periodic job was to go through "Lois'" inbox, and clean it out. It seems their payment frontend simply generated an email for the backend payment processor (Lois). Presumably, she manually keyed the cc info into a physical xon terminal to process payments. There were usually 10s of thousands of messages consisting only of credit card info sitting in the clear for months at a stretch.

It was FreeBSD though, so they were cool in my book :)
With everything synced to the cloud, apparently automatically and without user intervention (a valuable innovation), how is privacy handled?
I understand the urge to try to maximize on stuff like this, but in the end it loses sight of what's most important: the quality of the results. And sometimes I feel that a lot of valuable engineering time and effort is wasted on making things prettier and better monetizing in the short term when in the longer term the better search results are what would really move the needle.

And most A/B testing focuses on the very short time effects of the change (and change all by itself, even change for the worse can have a short term positive effect just because something is new). On another note: A/B testing has another limitation, which is that you're optimizing for the bulk, please one person more and you more or less automatically annoy another.
They are probably already subscribed (to test it works). Better to enter a duff@emailaddress.com which will mess up their stats.
Interesting to me is that in the video they use "you can Google it" and "let's Google it". In the past they - apparently - have made pains to avoid using Google as a verb as that's a type of genericisation of the trademark in to a term for internet searching in general.
I think you're right that Google are worried about users moving to a market where they're not relevant. That's why Google have made a point of becoming relevant: they have a mobile OS, a mobile app market, and a mobile app ad platform.

If people move away from web and toward Google's mobile properties, then they're probably pretty okay with that.

Ever used CPS style? Instead of producing values and passing them back to callers you provide continuations to functions and then they never return, merely calling the continuation instead. It turns out that this can save a lot of stack space and it also turns out that you can convert any program into this style should you choose.

It might not be exactly clear why CPS is equivalent to "direct" style. The answer is the Yoneda Lemma.

Yoneda goes further. Normally you could maybe notate a CPS style function as follows

(a -> *) -> *

where `a` is the type of the value the computation will pass to the continuation function (the first argument here) and * is a special type indicating "will never return". We can generalize this slightly as

forall x . (a -> x) -> x

which enables us to talk about CPS'd code in a slightly more general way by not stating exactly what the continuation does—it produces some kind of value, which might be the "will never return" value, and the CPS'd function just needs to evaluate it because the forall is positioned such that it can't know what `x` is. This gives more power to the user of CPS'd functions.

We can generalize it again by writing

forall x . (a -> x) -> F x

which gives more power to the implementer of the CPS'd function by letting them return some kind of "effect structure" along with calling the handler. The effect structure is fixed ahead of time but lets us talk about

* calling the continuation multiple times
* returning failure via exceptions
* producing side effects
* producing default values when no `a` ever existed
* etc.

And in this most general setting Yoneda still comforts us that this is just equivalent to the "direct" form

For sure I agree that the "ignore the noise and do your own thing" is valid if all you want is to hack on stuff. But I understand feminists (in general) as working towards changing society for the better, and I fail to see how isolationism accomplishes that.

Historical analogy: do you want to go the Booker T. Washington route, and hope that there will be a Martin Luther King later on? Or do you go the MLK route straight away?
is this true on iPhone as well?
>some dude is going to come up to you and act like you need his expert lessons in how to hack.

Seriously? "The bad white cis-hetero male offers us his help", patriarchy right?

This is ridiculous, really stop it...
Ask HN: What are CTRs of “invite friends” funnels in your apps?
Recently I was wondering - what are your 'invite friends' funnels efficiency in terms of A) process started->actual invites sent B) process started->actual app installs from the invites.

ie. is A) CTR 15% and B) 1% a good/average/bad number?
>Then maybe we should defer to the people directly involved.

Small correction: person involved. You rarely get to hear the others' opinion or viewpoint on the matter.

Which brings us back to "they're possibly interpreting a friendly tone as a condescending tone". Of course they'll feel unsafe when they see danger everywhere because they've conditioned themselves to be victims and everyone else a possible aggressor. Or maybe the other person is an asshole and they are 100% verified. Without seeing it happen or having an unbiased viewpoint there is no way to know for sure.

Deferring to a possibly biased viewpoint is not the answer. Here's why:

I keep the door open for absolutely everyone if they're within 8-10ft of the door without discrimination of age, sex, gender, religion, sexual orientation, height, weight, body shape, deformities, mental ability, physical ability, which direction they are walking, whether they are wearing socks with sandals or slippers, if they are accompanied by someone else or alone, or any other reason you could possibly think of to discriminate against holding the door open for someone.

All it takes is a single woman thinking I'm being chivalrous (which is now "benevolent sexism") to hate me for all of eternity because I'm a sexist misogynist because I happened to hold the door open for her and her cognitive bias and victim mentality instantly believes I only held the door open for her because she's a woman!

Would you accept her biased and negative viewpoint at face value? Rhetorical question: you've already stated your belief that we should defer to the person involved. Which turns her into a victim and me into a sexist. For no reason

Now, I could stop holding doors open for everyone, but I know I would eventually get flak for not holding a door open for a woman and she'll assume I didn't hold the door open for her because of her gender.

I'll await an article in coming years with the following complaint:

"This hackerspace is unfriendly, nobody is willing to help me or share information. People keep to themselves and don't socialize at all. Can't they see I'm having troubles soldering these wires together? Its no wonder women don't want to be here. Everyone's a coldhearted asshole."
Probably because someone read the headline or url and did a Mr Horse (No Sir. I don't like it.)
