I've never heard any patent supporters say anything about "too much" competition. What they say is that anytime a competitor can freeride on your investment of resources, it is not fair competition.
Uhm, if the only thing you base that assumption on is the use of -> to mark a line with an arrowhead ... sure. But it's pretty far from dot, actually.
I used to use Zip disks to sneakernet files to and from computers on an isolated network. This was when USB flash drives were ~8-16MB and we were not guaranteed access to part of the machine were a USB slot was. I also remember using Sysinternals Sync before ejecting the disks. Too many times did I get back to my desk and have corrupt (incompletely written) files otherwise.
I believe this is using VNC?

I was thinking something like a totally custom shell/thin client that ran in a browser and spoke to a linux instance over the network.
Until the author has made systems like Stack Overflow, Exchange, IIS, Office 365, and SharePoint in C++, his comments about C# being a "toy language for small projects" are pretty much baseless. In fact, this entire article is nothing more than an academic exercise, he has no practical examples where any of his concerns had a significant impact on a production system.
Cheers!

To be fair, I really wish news organizations would do a better job of linking to their sources. In this case, you have to notice a link in the story, then dig up the link to the actual study from that. There really should be a direct link to the study from the chart's caption, made obvious for all to see.
While I can only speculate, I would imagine that blogs or blog-like sites are not only the majority use case for static site generators, they also make for a simple and relatable example for demonstrating the capabilities of the generator.
As a designer who's worked with both marketers and engineers (and not forgetting customer support folks), I can definitely relate! I think a working relationship that’s driven by humility and empathy helps everyone focus on creating better work together.

Another point I'd add (from a designer's perspective) to get different teams on the same page is that, cross-team collaboration and communication can often be made more effective and richer simply by using whiteboard and markers during discussions. Having something visual to point at and talk about makes it easier for everyone align themselves to each other’s lenses, and also reduce misunderstandings that drive people crazy.
> In that case encoding speed doesn't matter much

When occasionally encoding: yes.
When your daily business is encoding larger batches: not necessarily.

edit: Just to clarify: we've got an encoding farm which will have to be siginficantly expanded if a substantial amount of content will have to be transcoded in H.265.

A little viral-ness doesn't hurt either. If it makes a dozen or so blogs today and reinforces the idea that Netflix is a service you cuddle down with in your den, that's not such a bad thing.
It also depends on your definition of successful.

To be successful does software need to (check off what you think would matter):

* Make money directly

* Make money in-directly

* Be used by at least 1 user (not including dev + dev friends and family)

* Be alive and working in 6 months

* Be alive and working in 2 years

* Be alive and working in 10 years

* Simply ship so dev gets a positive yearly review

* Be bug free

* Only crash N% of the time (who cares just re-run it and
don't do the bad thing)

* Quality / features don't matter as long as marketing is
talking about it and people play with it so it looks
successful.

* Simply exist, but be subsidized by some one or
something so devs keep hacking on it even if no one uses
it.

* Still be useful when there are zero devs working on it.
Why was this voted down? cheald presents a reasonable argument. Certainly no ad-hominem attacks. Thimothy then presents a rebuttal with reasonable counter-claims.

I find both points of view interesting and contributing to the discussion. This is a valid dialectic between two parties. I thought HN did not downvote arguments merely because we disagreed with them, which is one of the reasons it has appeal to me.

You don't get unilateral power to trade free services for arbitrary obligations. If you have a restaurant where you've decided to list all your menu items at zero cost, that doesn't automatically grant you the power to kick people out because they refuse to eat off the floor.

Your customers must first explicitly agree to such a thing before you should be able to enforce it. You don't get to make all the decisions for both parties. That's obviously exploitative.

Great question, I'm not sure why media sites aren't all statically generated, would be much more economical if nothing else. Ads can still be dynamically loaded on the client, but content that never changes; why is that in a database?
I agree. I tried to erase 3.5" and 5.25" floppies with refrigerator magnets as a kid, and they did nothing.

Magnetism is an inverse-cube law, and the write head is really close to the disk. Even if you hold your magnet to the floppy casing, you have a hard fight against the inverse cube.
Interesting. I had expected it to be like bloger that just greets you with a white screen; I didn't see his example blog earlier.
I don't think so:

10 Business Elements Required to Rise Above the Crowd
"Being inked comes with consequences."

Not nearly as many as it used to. While there are definitely employers who discriminate against tattoos it's becoming much more likely that no one under the age of 50 is going to care or bat an eye unless an individual has tattoos above the neck, on the face, or all over the hands. I live and work in DC and see tattoos in all locations on all genders of all ages in business dress on my daily commute. It's an anecdote and not data, obviously, however I think that it's an accurate reflection of changing employer attitudes towards tattoos as a whole.

As for the article you linked, while it's true that the military does have strict tattoo standards you'd think that someone "who wanted to join since they were a child" would have thought about their potential eligibility to join before they got a tattoo. It smacks more of poor planning on the part of the person being tattooed rather than an overall indication that society just can't deal with tattoos.
Our proposition is letting gifted children interact with professions and courseware they wouldn't normally encounter until late in high school. For example they can learn civil engineering, chemistry, law, but also philosophy, on a level normally given to 16-year-olds or even students. The program doesn't have the goal of raising academic achievement school-wide and we don't track that data I'm afraid.
Thank you, I'm honored =)
That's because there is none. There's at least 5 different groups that got VC funding for the exact same idea, and it's all impossible and illogical. It doesn't even pass a sniff test so I've no idea how they managed to get millions of dollars for the concept.

How to manipulate data in a server for Android?
I am building an app that needs to manipulate data on the server side. I have built the app but right now all manipulation is done in the app itself. Since I have no server side experience, can somebody explain to me on a high level how I can process data on the server and communicate with an app? Is there a library or a service that does this? I have an amazon ec2 server.

It makes a huge difference where the uneaten carrot ends up. If it's left on the field it can rot and become fertilizer. If it ends up in landfill, it decomposes in an anaerobic environment and creates methane.
Sometimes it gets frustrating when the understanding is difficult. On the founders side though, you want to be sure that there is the right expectation set in the clients (no over selling features that are not there, no underselling what you have done), which is a combination of the two "zooms".
It's as MarkCole said, just introducing a shorthand. So, there really is no point to using this.

Sports Betting Tips from Expert Tipsters – Great Tips
Advertisers use what is known as the Low Attention Processing Model.[1] With this particular advertising strategy, brand information, and even an emotional attachment to a brand, can be 'acquired' at low and even zero attention levels using implicit learning.[2] Implicit learning cannot analyse or re-interpret anything. The information goes directly to the subconscious mind.

Depending on the message, this can be positive or detrimental to our well-being, and it puts into question how much free-agency we are really exercising in our lives. The fact we are silently influenced by ambient images and messages around us was the inspiration for these posters I designed: http://zenpusher.com

Basically, if anyone is going to advertise to my subconscious mind, it's going to be me. And I'd rather acquire positive habits and character traits than an emotional connection to a product.

It sounds like he asked the wrong question of experts and they were thoughtful about it (their mistake). Since thoughtfulness doesn't make easy arbitrary choices between two meaningless options he fired anyone who had thought more than 20 minutes about the issue and got the data to answer his misguided question (the data will never question your methods or challenge you and say 'maybe this isn't the right question to be asking' or 'maybe you've oversimplified the issue' or 'maybe it's not about verbs vs nouns').
I've told this story before, but about 20 years ago I met a guy from a farming family. The family farm supplied zucchini/courgettes (I think it was) to supermarkets. The supermarkets had rules about what range of curvature was acceptable. Previously the extra bendy produce would essentially be waste (turned in to animal food, composted, etc), but with the rise of farmers markets and natural/organic food they were able to sell the bendy produce at a premium directly to the consumer.

And here's a French supermarket that is successfully selling 'ugly' produce at reduced prices:

1) They have software for other phones and desktop computers. Others can use those without having to buy Blackphone. Assuming the hardware does confer some security advantage, talking to people who just have the software won't negate the security advantage gained for communication between users do have the hardware.

2) Fair point.

3) Telegram is also a central service, so in that respect it's no better than Silent Circle. WhisperSystems is better in that they make some server source code public. But to be fair to Silent Circle, their offer is much more complete: Voice, Messaging, Encrypted contact storage, and outbound PSTN access.

4) By using SILC, Tor, or GPG broadcasts the fact that you value privacy, which could make you a higher priority. What are you going to do, just send everything in cleartext and hope nobody looks?

Silent Circle Blackphone 2 review: A secure Android phone with a privacy punch
Varnish Wishlist
“open standard” just means is that there's a spec which you could use to produce a compatible encoder or decoder. It doesn't mean that no country in the world has issued a patent which could conceivably affect your ability to sell a product.

The other thing to remember is that most companies find the presence of a licensing model reassuring because you know the costs up front, as opposed to finding out when someone sues after you've shipped millions of units. That's one of the reasons why VP8 never posed a threat to H.264 – it was almost certain to get bogged down in lawsuits if it became popular – and why HEVC Advance is arguably the biggest threat to H.265 since it removes that comfort zone.

Maybe it would be advantageous to include a short summary of the issue (DoS, local security, remote security (exploitable), remote security (unexploitable), etc)? The "bad guys" still wouldn't know where to look, and it isn't like people aren't actively working to find exploits in OpenSSL daily. But this gives the "good guys" information which you yourselves say they need to evaluate the risks to them.
