Its not actually possible for this to work with a 'chip' card.

If your polish card has a chip and you change the pin online, there is a slight chance the change wont register. Many ATMs don't send a request to check the pin/they check the pin stored on the chip.

This is why you have to be physically present at an ATM to change the pin.

So if you change the pin, and say go out of Poland and use it somewhere else, without using it in Poland first, it would say the PIN is incorrect.

This risk might be why it is not readily available with UK banks.
Some databases don't even support explicit foreign key constraints, and SQL doesn't make their declaration mandatory. And that metadata is not in the resultset, you get an id instead.

So SQL dbs will happily let you join with the wrong table.
Also foreign key constraints don't play well with sharded SQL dbs.

For these reasons, I don't see SQL as a good parallel to HATEOAS.

Maybe an ORM would be closer to what HATEOAS brings... It's all about impedance mismatch I think... but HATEOAS is no more a definite solution than ORMs.

The general idea is very interesting, but the drawback I see is that this architecture makes it impossible for apps to do work that accesses multiple grains.

Search would be the most obvious example. This was solved pragmatically by implementing it in the framework and not in the apps, but that approach doesn't seem to scale for me. What if certain types of grains require application-specific indexing? What if there are other tasks that cross grain boundaries but only make sense for a specific app?

Additionally, this limitiation makes it critical to get the definition of what is a grain right from the very start, when you design your app - once you realized you got the granularity wrong, I figure it would be very hard to split or merge existing grains to change it.

If I remember correctly, the Sandstorm documentation itself had examples for a word processor and for a photo editor app. However, while a grain for the word processor represents a single document, a grain for the photo editor is a photo gallery. So choosing granularity is not always trivial.

In the next 3 years websites will increasingly block users with adblock. So the future is less tough shit and more total war.
Isn't this expected though? I think it is obvious that people who can afford a more expensive class of phones also buy more apps. OTOH Android phones are literally selling for < $30, no contract. A huge portion of Android phones sold are these super-cheap phones. And the users will probably just be happy with the 1000s of free apps in the Play store, quite a few of which are very well-written too.

But with the right implemenation and audomation as we did in in my webhosting company, it is evem more convenient for user. (unless LetsEncrypt is working). Certificates are reneved automaticaly without any user action. So I think EV is the key point here for other CAs. Also I think that in the next 2 years, every webhosting account will be created with HTTPS:// as default, without even asking the client as HTTPS with LE becomes a standard service out-of-the-box.

I'm sure that Angular 2 would be a better choice for a Ecosystem like Meteor. React is very nice, but annoying to find tutorials, get a decent size app going (routing etc) and Angular 2 is more mature (all the good and bad points of NG1 and other js-libs were considered). Next to Google also Microsoft is betting on Angular 2 (TypeScript). This will boost the community greatly. NG1 was slow. NG2 is amazingly fast (webworkers/server side rendering). So for a Meteor Use Case I would pick NG2. If I wanna build a simple Snippet I would use React.

>I just (like two days ago :) finished reading the Foundation series. Psychohistory loses some of its magic for twenty-first century readers in the face of chaos theory and black swans.

Chaos theory might be good for the weather (or the stock market and other such micro/fast events) but it might not apply that well to human societies in long term trends (which are not that chaotic and unpredictable, most of history reads like a continuous narrative with cause and effects quite very much at play).

He also predicted the possibility of "black swans" ruining psychohistories predictions and had an agency (let's call it a "second foundation") to influence things and handle those situations.

That said, there were rumors of a Foundation based tv series. I wonder how that's going...

I mostly use iOS (my phone) but i have an android tablet. From the few apps on my android tablet it seems they are lower quality, have more ads, and i have much much fewer apps on my android than ios mostly because of these reasons. It isn't a surprise that there are more Google downloads than app store downloads.

Why is this the best time to go for System Integration?
There's a lot of apps and choice on Android where you can use a free or ad supported app, while on the App Store there's simply only a paid solution. The lack of a "trial" or 15 minutes refund window was also annoying on iOS. That's perhaps also why there's more revenue generated.

I just switched back to Android from iOS after 8 months and noticed this first hand.

When it comes to implementing ideas, I learnt one thing that has become crucial for me: an idea needs to have a deep personal relevance in order to be able to bring it to its fullest life.

Since I figured out that personal truth, I stopped searching for ideas from the outside. A list like this can still be inspiring, but just because an idea sounds good or seems to make sense, if I don't have any profound interest in it, I know I won't have the energy and drive to realise its potential.
Missed that. Thanks for the info.
good point, tho.. i'm really appreciative of lists like this b/c, while i don't use spreadsheets, for instance, a i can immediately see why an "excel imgur" is a seriously good idea. but then doesn't "open-sourcing" w/o a creative commons or similar notice just mean that the first person who blogs or tweets or whatever has a legal record that it's their idea?

honestly dunno and would appreciate feedback from legally-learned.
Ah. From reading the comments, the would-be community representative Karen Sandler is the former Gnome Foundation executive director who caused them to run out of money by running outreach programs for women on behalf of far bigger organisations like Google and Mozilla, charging them less for admin than the actual costs incurred, and agreeing to pay participants upfront and get paid back later until it completely depleted the Gnome Foundation's financial reserves. As a result they could no longer fulfil their role of supporting Gnome development, had to go begging for more money, and Gnome developers who were expecting to have their costs paid for attending Gnome events got paid months late because they had to prioritize the non-Gnome payments. (I believe this also screwed over women who were involved in Gnome too.)

Of course, mjg59 is a pretty loudly outspoken feminist activist, so I guess he's hardly going to object to all that.
Google shows personal data within search results, tests recent purchases feature
A bad advise I'd say. What if costumer compared prices online without taking much notice if price included shipping or not (I often assume it does not, as for not living in a big country I often have to pay extra anyway)? You'd end up somewhere in the bottom of the list. Also, what happens when you buy 10x of the same item (sure, you can advertise "buy 3, get 1 for free!", but that's even more obscure)?
If you've read all the Foundation + Robots stuff, there are 2 more Asimov books I've found that also have some allusions/references to the Foundation universe:

1) The End of Eternity (Again plays with the idea of a "babysitter" organization for the world -- like foundation/2nd foundation was but in a totally different manner, and in the end has some references to the Foundation universe).

2) Nemesis

3) Peeble in the sky (which he wrote many years before).
Yes...I'm not sure why you would think I suggested otherwise.

There's no reason that the preparation can't start happening sooner, especially since an intermediary step towards self-driving cars exists and that's car share fleets.

The whole point of self-driving cars is less about the tech itself and more about the cultural shift that it permits. Parts of that shift can be happening now - the problems with parking, congestion, costs of road maintenance, car accidents, and everything can be addressed and affected now.

The proposed changes work just as well for a fleet of shared cars as they do for self-driving.

London's population density is far less than that of NYC, with London having nearly twice the total area and nearly half the population density. My reason in mentioning the density is that even though London does have a large car population, far more people take transit in a place that has a larger population and a larger area. NYC, which is smaller and more population dense, should see its citizens having easier access to essential stores and location just due to proximity, where as a London citizen may need to travel considerably further.
The evil part is that it's making it harder and harder to use a lot of OSS projects on non-Linux OSes. As a FreeBSD user I'm worried, and when it comes to Debian/kFreeBSD the world really has ended as far as I can tell ( and just when it was starting to look like a first-class architecture :'( ).

The conspiracy theory would be that it's a deliberate RedHat effort to cripple competitors like Solaris. Unfortunately \*BSD and freedom will be caught in the crossfire.
I believe they were working on upstreaming their changes at the time, but as the sister comment said, AVR32 never really took off and is now basically dead.

I still have a couple of AVR32 NGW100 dev boards, they were really nice to work with.
I made the switch to iPhones a year ago (although I'm still mainly an Android developer) and can agree somewhat with your statement.

I rarely bought anything from the Google Play Store but I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that on Android there is almost ALWAYS a free alternative for whatever you need.

On iOS not so much, even the crappiest app will cost you something.

But on the other hand I would do the same. iOS users are willing to spend more money on mobile apps/services which is also the reason why they buy expensive high end phones in the first place instead of buying a 50$ Android phone.

Capture Leads directly from your Facebook account
With almost 1.5 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the world’s largest social network. By any standard, that’s a huge market, irrespective of your particular product or industry. But Facebook leads aren’t actually leads until you capture them! How do you tap into that practically limitless market and capture those leads?

I wonder what the number of downloads represents, user-initiated acts or files transmitted?

Google lets developers publish updates easily and Apple does not, so the number of updates might be larger on android than on ios. Might be, I don't know.

How on earth does this constitutes as open source? So if I write out my research results to the public, it is considered open source? What is the source? The text is not a compiled version of some previous text. And if it where (LaTeX) the underlying idea is still present in the "compiled" version. No saying I don't like his ideas, but there's beside the point.

When open source becomes a layman term for productivity and do "like all the cool guys in the bay", rather than one of ethics and critical reflection on contemporary ideologies underlying technological developments and their affects on society and the world as a whole.

Seems pretty practical for e.g. a docking station scenario - rather than connecting a cable, just toss your phone on the desk and it connects to your monitor/docking station.
Yep, if you release for iOS first and then bring halfassed obsolete version on Android (as most people do) one year later, you're of course going to see less revenue there.

Whether the actual admin costs outweighed the admin fees is debatable. Otherwise, as you said, it was strictly a cash-flow problem and not one of general financial mismanagement. I think this issue should have been spotted by the board of directors but it didn't because it was common practice to do it this way (pay upfront, cash in later) and then the amount of outreach participants increased significantly without anybody in control thinking about all the implications that would have on the Foundation's cash-flow.

And nobody really believed that increasing the amount of paid-for outreach-positions is a bad thing.

Unless I missed something the article mentions nothing about in app ads (or in app spending), which I'd bet a lot of devs rely on. I'd be curious to know how the split goes there. I mean, if I was developing an ad supported app, I'd stick it up on Play for the bigger market share. I'd also wager that even with the same amount of downloads on each platform you'd get more ad clicks on Android.

I am not an adept of wireless because of performance problems but wire consolidation makes a lot of sense. For instance it would make sense for all laptops to have the ethernet connection as well as additional connections going through the power supply. So that a single wire to plug when you go wired and all wireless when on the move.

Docking stations sort of do that but you loose the "lap top" ability. I think most people use their laptop in bed or on a couch when not working. And even on a table it's nice to have the wiring underneath the table.
