Dyson Ball Vacuum Teardown
To be fair...Google and Apple are doing the same thing to Amazon (shutting out a competitor). Tivo and Roku both offer PrimeTV and both are sold thru Amazon. So the theory that this is soley to block out competitors is demonstrably false. Business is business and Amazon is biting back. Shouting "boycott" seems extreme and won't have an affect on their bottomline anyways.
Incremental parsing is designed for just this use case. The last major work in the area that I know of is Tim Wagner's PhD thesis http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/harmonia/papers...
I like Erdos but I have to wonder how much of what he did matters if you look at results in binary instead of Base 10. It seems a lot of number theory seems to gloss over this basic fact.
In number theory, it seems Wolfram's four categories explain "impossible problems" pretty simply.
> However from the article, this is in response to seemingly anti-competitive practices by both Apple and Google's strategies regarding Amazon Prime on their TV devices.

The article doesn't say that at all. The Amazon statement quoted in the article says that the items don't "work well" with Prime Video, but doesn't blame that on "anti-competitive practices" by Apple or Google -- which is good, because the reason it doesn't work on Chromecast, at least, is simply that Amazon has chosen not to implement Chromecast support -- and it doesn't work on Android TV devices, except Sony Smart TVs, because Amazon has actively blocked those devices.

Apple does have generally stronger controls, and it may be that there is an Apple policy issue affecting Prime on Apple TV, but I suspect that that's not the case, and that, as for Chromecast, Apple TV doesn't "work well" with Prime because Amazon has made a decision not to have it work well with Prime.

> My guess is Amazons desired outcome is Apple and Google support Amazon Prime video Apple TV and Chromecast.

If Amazon wants Chromecast to support Amazon Prime, all they have to do is build support for the Chromecast API into Amazon Prime mobile and/or Web apps.

It's more the marketing department helping adobe than adobe really helping anyone. What they do there is some basic layering and channel adjustments so it looks pretty for a magazine. The same result can be achieved as stressless and professional with e.g. rawtherapee and gimp. No need to chain yourself to adobe for tasks like this.

Jira certainly is more popular, but I never viewed the two products as being in direct competition. I don't know about the inner working and finances of Fogcreek, but given that Fogbugz is still around they've may have lost anything.

Pricing would certainly be a knob Fogcreek could tweak, if they believed that they where losing to Jira in some shape or form. Given that they haven't lowered prices or expanded their free tier sales of Fogbugz could be on the precise path that Fogcreek want for the product. Maybe their selling extremely well in a marked that most HN readers just aren't in contact with. A marked that doesn't mind the added cost.

It's different approaches to sales, make a little money from a large pool of customers, or sell a more expensive product/service to a smaller market. Both strategies are completely valid, but due to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Uber and whatnot many will falsely assume that more customer is always better.

I am sorry to say that but your view of the basic income sounds rather shallow. I would encourage you to read up on the subject.
I'm happy that I went with Roku.

I think that this is an underhanded move on Amazon's part but it's not beneath what Apple or Google would do in their position.
what advice would you give to someone who would be looking to implement this in a less dynamic language such as C# or Java? In your opinion is this only successful due to the dynamic and special language features of Python?
Their lack of support for other devices is almost certainly intentional. (I'm surprised at the amount of sway the hardware teams appear to have over the Prime Video app team. Someone very high up is preventing this from happening for strategic reasons.)
This sounds like anti-competitive behavior. Even if legal, as someone who spends literally thousands of dollars a year on their site and have been for over a decade now, this will cause me to look for alternatives. I admired amazon because they were often aggressively pro-customer. But this move will not benefit their customers. They may well wind up destroying the customer loyalty they've built up over the years with this really stupid decision.

You could be right about Bazel's unsuitability for open source software.

> The following constructs have been added to the core build language: if statements, for loops, and function definitions

The whole point of using a declaratively-configured build product rather than procedural scripts is to simplify the logic and be easily extendable. Maven provided the declarative DSL and removed totally the procedural language so you needed an addon like polyglot-maven to do anything "out of the box". Gradle then added the whole procedural language back in to be used with the DSL, but it's hardly used as most build scripts out there are just standard 30-liners. Perhaps Bazel's way of providing just enough procedural features (sequencing, selection, iteration, subroutines), and no more, with the declarative DSL is the best mix.

You need 2 apps to run Prime Video, which I believe it's just called Amazon Video now.

You need the amazon appstore app, to install it, and you need amazon shopping app installed to run it (have no idea why). It works fine on android once you have installed all the amazon bs, but last time i checked the app wasn't very good on iOS.
If you use proxy server that terminates HTTPS connections you have to trust it. There is nothing you can do.
Actually, thanks for prompting me to check on that stat. It came from here: http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/health-spending-per-cap...

And in returning to it, I realized that it's from 2009!

That said, it seems like it's simply total health care spending divided by population per state. But I'm not sure. Either way, it's pretty outdated.
We should take this opportunity to mention that al-Khwārizmī’s name is the origin of the word "algorithm." So the one word that we probably use more than any other in our field derives from the name of a man who was born in what's now Usbekistan, was an ethnic Persian, and lived and taught in Baghdad.
A big thing with the pricing... If I'm an individual contributor and want a bug tracker, I can drop 10 bucks on a JIRA license (out of pocket) or convince someone from management that I need it and that they need to pay for it.
Thanks! SuperChief does one at a time streaming. The library for leader election is just a wrapper around an apache curator leader latch with some instrumentation and logging so we can reuse it in other services.
The 30% revenue share is only for purchasing content that is discovered & purchased on Apple devices. Amazon Prime subscribers pay Amazon directly through the website, and would not be subject to that revenue share.

For non-Prime Instant Video purchases/rentals, users could purchase through the website and have content made available through the app. This is how Amazon Kindle currently works on iOS.
This is a problem with antimatter CRLs (so called because the CRL is like antimatter: it wanders around, annihilating a cert only if it encounters it). Rather than sending out revocation lists, agents should be forced to renew their certificates regularly. Store a small trusted base in-memory (perhaps one trust root per nation-state), and then use certificate chains to authenticate.

Fortunately, there's already a precedent for a credential one needs to renew from the government in order to operate a vehicle: a license plate.

Heck, one could avoid the whole problem by doing what the government could have one do with one's license plates in case of accident: turn 'em in.

Without locking this is largely useless.

Usually large files are binary blobs(PSD, .ma, etc) and it becomes incredibly easy to blow away someone's work by not pulling before every file you edit(or two people edit at the same time).

As much as some people hate Perforce that's exactly what they are setup to do. Plus their binary syncing algorithms are top-notch. We used to regularly pull ~300GB art repo(for gamedev) in ~20 minutes.

Git is great for code but this seems like square peg, round hole to me.
Maybe what they meant is that they hash using bcrypt and then encrypt the hashes?
A few years ago, I had my main machine die and was totally strapped for cash at the time. That's when I found the Lenovo Outlet store, and got a really cheap refurb. It was very underpowered, even at the time, but was enough to get me by until I could afford something nicer.

Prime Video is, like, what does this even have to do with why I signed up for Prime. We use Prime because we order enough stuff in a year that postage would be over £45. They're trying for nonexistent "synergy" to satisfy internal numbers in some way, and nothing a customer wants.
> I've used both, and I can only imagine your complaints about JIRA's UI are due to how it's been configured for your use.

Exactly. There are some companies that go so overboard with Jira customizations that a single "create new issue" requires hitting page down three times to get to the end. And they arrive at that by adding a field here for the QA team, a field there for the Sales team...

In the end, you get a monster. New users will be exposed to that monster, not the vanilla Jira installation.
Nope, Amazon not supporting chromecast is entirely Amazon's business decision, there are no technical reasons for it. Google is not preventing them from supporting Chromecast in any way. Amazon could easily offer if if they wanted to, but they would rather push their own ecosystem instead. I'm pretty sure the situation with Apple TV is similar.
Honestly I'm not sure stuff sold directly by Amazon is an exception.
That's precisely what it is.

As an expat living in Greece, I frequently shop on the German Amazon site, where Amazon's Fire TV and Stick are pretty much destroying all competition, excluding perhaps Roku. However being from a different EU country, I can order neither Roku nor Prime. Not a huge problem for me since I'm 100% YouTube, but both Roku and Prime devices seem to have superior YouTube leanback performance over Chromecast (tried) and pretty much any Android TV box (didn't try). I'm currently waiting for my Nexus Player to arrive, I guess I've ordered it just in time.

> In my view, Amazon wants to be forced back from this position in a precedent-setting way.

The only way that could happen would be through long, drawn-out antitrust proceedings. Which, I don't think its much of a stretch to propose, no business wants to get in and lose just to set a precedent that could be used later against preexisting practices of their competitors.

Especially, since any such precedent would only be relevant if they could convince public authorities to prosecute their opponent, or if they choose to expend the resources to do so themselves, and in either of those cases they could do that first without the precedent and establish the precedent at the same time as realizing the benefit.
I wonder what this says about Amazon CloudSearch?
What are you talking about? What base you write results in has nothing to do with number theory.
> people want to see the green A on anything they buy because they assume it will be of higher quality

I almost always assume the opposite. I assume the product was designed in one of two ways:

1. Designed fully-featured and then hamstrung to meet arbitrary energy goals, or

2. Designed with energy goals as the first priority

in either case, other useful qualities (performance, longevity, etc) are second-class.

I think my mindset started with low-flow toilets being introduced, those things could barely flush an empty bowl of water. To me, energy-efficient means crap performance.

I had a Prius for a while and it was clear that a lot of things were sacrificed so they could spend the budget on energy efficiency. Compare the interior or ride quality of a Prius with anything else in its price range and you'll see what I mean.
Probably true, however I wish the innovation/research went into making Prime Video a better product. I have had it (as part of Prime) for years but only watched one or two videos on it b/c of inferior selection, UX, and quality.
This seems really short-sighted to me. Amazon is going to punish their own customers because of a feud they have with their competitors? How is that good?

More and more I question whether I want to continue doing business with Amazon.
On the other hand, I wish bitbucket were more popular compared to github. It doesn't seem like they invest much into bitbucket, as some silly issues have persisted for years. Have they given up?
I dunno, I had the opposite impression. I worked at a company from 2005-2007 that was evaluating FogBugz as a bugtracker, and found that (at least on Linux, which we were using) it was very unpolished. At the same time, some of our dependencies used Jira for their public issue tracker, and I recall looking at it and thinking it was the only bugtracker I'd actually like to use.

Nowadays I'd probably just use GitHub Issues - looking at Jira now it feels incredibly dated, but back then its only serious competitor was Trac. (Where is Trac, now, anyway? I haven't met someone who uses it in a while, but when I was founding my first startup in 2008 it was considered best-of-breed.)
Aww, I was hoping more people here would defend the move. (I really enjoy watching people do mental gymnastics.)
Yes could this move be an attempt to force Apple to allow the Prime app on the Apple TV? I've always wondered who: Apple or Amazon is stopping Amazon Instant from appearing on the Apple TV.
Publishers That Say No to Automated Ad Sales
Different sites might use different versions of a library. Also the cache gets polluted very quickly because many sites add caching headers for every request and cache size is limited.

If average page size is 500 Kb and jquery size is 30 Kb gzipped you do not save much by hosting is on a CDN. What you get is more DNS requests, more downtime when that server fails or stalls and give out data about your users.

I think it is easier just to host everything on your own server.
