The first iPhones were actually not that great comparatively. They were pretty slow and they didn't even have 3g. But, Apple got a lot right, they had an intuitive multi-touch interface that anyone and everyone could use, they had a simplified ui, etc. Then they came out with the app store. And with the 2nd gen with 3g support they had a very solid product that had mass appeal.

It didn't hurt that they had the Apple cult following driving adoption, but still they pushed things forward a lot.
I think most people in the comments don't realize that this seems to be a joke hinting at the deep repulsion of 9gag on reddit (as it's accused of stealing reddit's content). The page looks like 9gag but with the content of reddit --> 9reddit.

Therefore I guess design choices were not made on best usability or with the goal of improving the current reddit layout.

That said I probably won't use it in the future, but it's nicely done :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_oscillation

Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor. The probability of measuring a particular flavor for a neutrino varies periodically as it propagates through space.

First predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo in 1957,[2] neutrino oscillation has since been observed by a multitude of experiments in several different contexts. Also, it turned out to be the resolution to the long-standing solar neutrino problem.

Neutrino oscillation is of great theoretical and experimental interest, since observation of the phenomenon implies that the neutrino has a non-zero mass, which was not included as part of the original Standard Model of particle physics.

Everybody's missing the really bad thing about these trucks and self-driving cars though. Everything is patent encumbered. So they will transform a bottom up industry (dependant on people to drive the trucks, trucks which can be produced by any of a 1000 companies) into a top-down patent-encumbered capital-intensive industry (because only one company will get self-driving cars thanks to our patent system). There will be one company driving these trucks, not many like today.

This will destroy truck drivers, yes, absolutely. However something it will also do is sink every KMO that has trucks driving, which is a a lot of them here in Germany.

So give it another 10 years and "oh no hell no to self driving trucks/cars" will be one of the few things socialists and capitalists/liberalists agree on, because it will destroy the constituency of both parties. I also seriously doubt they can reliably deliver cargo in the central streets of Germany's cities. The ones built in the 14th century which are about wide enough for a single horse carriage (very tight for a car, and truck drivers actually manage to squeeze in (you -often- have to forgive some damage of course))

The "good" companies should relocate their business central away from USA and come to Europe!

Some big companies should finally stop talking and start acting, this is the only chance for a real change.

Cut the NSA-Brotherhood ties! These little Hitlers from all the affiliated "Clubs of Distopians" and the War-Industry completely destroyed the most important association of "USA == Freedom" in the world. Face it. Deal with it. Act accordingly.

For people interested in history: it might be interesting to look at the post-ww-2 de-Nazification process in germany to understand how hard it is to remove established circles of anti-democratic bureaucrats from power structures. This will take a very long time (if it happens at all).

The better immediate reaction would be to support progressive and freedom-oriented societies with your technical powers until "good old USA" is restored. Europe is not perfect, but what happens in USA nowadays is pure distopia, a very unhealthy development that will lead to a negative outcome for all of us.

Once people came to The USA because of suppression and lack of freedom in their home countries. Just a few generations later if you have the same sense and longing for freedom like these ancestors of you, it is now time to leave that continent as the suppressors followed your trails - come home to Europe and together we can build a better future!

This article (like the discovery it reports) is from July 2011. The NASA press release can be found here: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/universe/features/universe2011072... and it contains all the actual information in the article.

(And: what a terrible article! On two occasions it simply says the exact same thing twice in succession in almost the same words. And it says this: "NASA’s water discovery should be a reminder that if we have the sophistication to discover galaxies full of water 12 billion light years away, we should be able to save people just an ocean away from drought-induced starvation." ... which makes as much sense as saying that if we have the sophistication to discover enormous black holes at the centres of galaxies, we ought to be able to make our own black holes in the laboratory, or that if we have the sophistication to accelerate protons to 0.999999991c in the LHC, we ought to be able to make cars go at at least 0.9c.)

That's just plain stupid. I get it, you don't want EVs to be "tax-free", but at least make it smaller than on gas-powered cars to encourage people to buy cleaner cars. When EVs are 50% of the market, then you can make it equal, if you think you're losing money or whatever. But such high taxes already seem extreme for any car anyway.

They also eliminated the tax on NOx, even after the VW scandal. Ugh. I was wrong. This isn't stupid. Just malicious/corrupt.
This has never been illegal in the US, and in fact has been happening for a while. The US has no general privacy law, and the First Amendment is usually construed against privacy.

Financial institution customers may not opt out of these information transfers to nonaffiliated service providers if the transfer is for a purpose described in section 502(e) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). For example, the opportunity to opt out does not apply where the information transfer is to: (1) service or process a financial product or service that the customer requested or authorized; or (2) maintain or service the customer's account."
People talk about it less these days because modern modem/baseband chips are sandboxed. In older phones they had bus master access and could do whatever they wanted, hence their frequent targeting by unlockers. But they didn't need all that access and have since been locked down a fair bit. Also, Qualcomm at least got more serious about security and started hardening their firmwares.

Also, intelligence agencies tend to be after stuff that the baseband doesn't have any convenient access to, like photos and files on disk. Even though an un-sandboxed baseband could theoretically access the hardware, it'd be doing so in parallel with the real OS and that'd be super painful to implement.

Finally, why bother when the OS is such a bigger surface area? The IC's aren't magic, even if they developed some impressive tricks under the cover of secrecy. They attack systems in the same way as your average defcon presenter does.

What I think gets ignored often in debates like this, is the fact that every year a newly-minted set of adults graduate from teenage-hood and make their way into the world - this cyclic wave of culture is a natural phenomenon and yet it is discounted every time these kinds of articles come up. Moral pontificating about the 'underbelly of the Internet' is one thing : but it is important to recognize that this underbelly is in fact a new generation of thinkers and doers, freshly unchained from their parents' shackles, willing and able to upset the world at all cost ..

On the Internet, nobody knows your age.
Concern trolling uses gentle methods to create havoc and discord.

Those methods usually involve "asking questions" about meta stuff. Some forums exist in uneasy balance between a group who'd ban a lot more people and another group who'd ban many fewer people. A skilful concern troll destroys that balance and has those two groups arguing.
Also note that "is optimized for ~" is now a euphemism for "content is only available for ~".

This is not at all true. The Kochs are easily outspent by the left every year. Just look at the Sierra Club's, NRDC's, EDF's, LCV's, Center for American Progress, and other's spending every year. And these are just groups that do environment activities. Soros, Tides Foundation, Steyer, McCarthur, Packard Foundation, and other foundations spend far more than the Kochs. If anything the Kochs are playing catch up. But the CS Monitor is not interested in writing about that. They are getting pitched by Media Matters on the Kochs and those are the stories The Monitor writes.

The internet permission has been semi-broken from Android 1.0 onwards. In particular, people tended to interpret it as "this app cannot upload my data to the internet". But then it was discovered apps could do things like request the music app to play an audio stream from an arbitrary URL. Any data to exfiltrate can be put into the query params. Or the app can request the browser to open, same trick. By the time the user realises what's happened the data is gone already.

In fact more or less any app that can be convinced via IPC to open an attacker-controlled URL can be used to circumvent the expected meaning of the internet permission.

And then there's the inconvenient fact that virtually all apps need it for one reason or another, so it just became meaningless. Good riddance, I say.

Dang's comment clarified my intent. I want now to address "Napoleon was oldest the attribution I could find."

There are two aspects to "oldest attribution"; one is to when the attribution was made, and the other is the era that the attributed person lived. They should not be confused.

If I say that Socrates said "a broken clock is right twice a day", then this is a recent attribution to someone who lived a long time ago. If others then follow my lead, then there will be a lot of modern citations to someone who lived thousands of years ago. That doesn't mean it would be correct.

This means one can't simply order the list of attributed people and pick the person who lived first. That might be a false attribution. For example, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1251690... describes some of the quotes falsely attributed to Lincoln, and http://shannonselin.com/2014/07/10-things-napoleon-never-sai... lists quotes attributed to Napoleon, but which he either did not say or did not originate.

One way to help identify misattributed quotes is to look in the historical record. Sometimes people 50 years ago quoted unknown person X as the source of a quote, where people now quote older and more famous person Y.

Because of the tendency to attach quotes to a more famous person, this would suggest - though surely not prove - that the attribution to Y is incorrect.

In the early 1970s you can see many people name diverse sources to the quote, including Haley, author of "Roots". As Napoleon's writing are well-known and studied, the lack of a citation during that to Napoleon is a strong indicator that he did not make the quote in any citeable fashion.

(Eg, the shannonselin.com link points out Napoleon may have said 'Not tonight, Josephine'; we just don't have citeable evidence for it.)

I don't know many things about Spark, so I can't make a full comparison. I will try bellow to enumerate some advantages of Pippo:

- modular [1] (spark uses a giant static singleton architecture)

- support (via modules) for many Template Engines [2] (Freemarker, Jade, Groovy, Trimou, Pebble)

- support (via modules) for many Servers [3] (Jetty, Undertow, TJWS); spark depends on Jetty

- directly serving of static resources [4], support for WebJar

- content type negotiation

- custom session [5] (support for cookie based
implementation)

- support (via modules) for many ContentTypeEngines [6] (Plain text, Json - Gson/Fastjson, Xml - Jaxb/Xstream, Yaml - SnakeYaml)

- i18n [7] (in java or directly in template)

- support (via modules) for many IoC [8] (Guice, Spring)

- support metrics [9] (via modules - Ganglia, Graphite, InfluxDB, Librato)

- custom (template) error pages

- regex routes

Unfortunately the actual documentation of Pippo it's a little bit behind of the implementation (from documentation are missing some nice concepts: named routes, finally filters, custom route context, ...) and from this reason I cannot give you more useful links but I will fix this aspect asap.

Another difference in Pippo to other (micro) java web framework (spark, ninja) is that a RouteHandler it's a real endpoint (the handle method return void). You can finalize/commit the response using send, render, redirect. Everything is transparent.

Snowden was a sysadmin because he explicitly decided to become one to get access to more documents.

I've read most (nearly all, perhaps) of the Snowden documents. They paint the exact same picture he is painting. GCHQ appears to be so tightly integrated with the NSA that they have access to each others intranets. It's well known that one reason Snowden got so many documents is that he was able to crawl the entire GCHQ internal wiki .... from Hawaii.

If you look at other presentations then it's clear that they have unified infrastructure to a great extent and GCHQ is willing to do nearly anything to stay in the club.

I guess it all comes down to how you're meant to determine where someone's data should be stored. Is it by their nationality? What if your app gains popularity outside your launch country? Are you suddenly on the hook for not having sharded your data geographically?
