Clearly, $4 is far below the cost of the components listed. Assuming this is a legit offer - how are they doing it? One possible explanation - maybe it is supported by ads. They are counting on revenues generated by ads within the various applications - inlcuding search. If you notice the Search screen does not show a Google logo - it looks like a reskinned version of Google's home page. So presumably it could generate revenue via Adsense. Not sure if this is allowed as per Android Licensing terms for OEMs though but it could be an explanation.
I too came to the same conclusion that the article did quite some time ago. Apple just owns on build quality.

I am Longtime Lenovo + Linux user that recently switched to Mac and as much I really hate OSX UI the build quality of apple is worth it (that and skype sort of works better on mac than Linux).

The thing that shocks me with my new Mac is how incredibly unstable OSX is at times (El Capitan and previous version). You would think given such hardware control my mac would be more stable than my parents Windows 10 Lenovo Yoga or even Linux on crappy hardware but lately it has not been the case for me.
I will not buy System76 laptops again because of the build quality. I had one, and an minor accident with it was a disaster. The computer wouldn't start after.

I have a MacBook Pro for work and a Dell Inspiron with Ubuntu (which I bought on the day the System76 failed) on it. Generally, I like the latter.
I haven't heard of it before, but that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of, and that looks pretty cool. Looks like the resulting programs still perform reasonably well too.
This is so true. It's really shocking how little effort and originality some/most people go to in getting the job they want.

I have a similar story, although nowhere near as much effort. When I was 20 and hating life in school, I really wanted to work at Shopify. At the time, they were maybe 80 people. I've never made a resume and didn't feel like that would get me noticed. Sio I simply sent a cold email to Tobi, our CEO. It was basically "Hey, Tobi. I don't know anything, and I have no skills, but I love your company and I want to be involved. Give me a chance, I'll work for free."

I got an email a week later from someone else on the team saying that I started the next week.

When I asked why, I was told "this worked because you were naive enough to think that this would work". I've been here four years now, and it's still the most important email I've ever sent. Maybe luck, maybe naivety, but I'm thrilled it's worked out.
That's a very real issue indeed. Sorry for your loss.

But I think the right solution here would be for Facebook to have a way of handling deceased people, not giving your password to everyone in case of sudden death.

There's still a few institutions locked in by "it's working, why change it" and "it's too much code to rewrite".

I've used adobe cf10, and couldn't get cfbuilder to install on a mac, so no debugger, which is just terrible. I haven't used railo because our servers were configured for us. If you're still on CF10, you're going to have to do CFML occasionally because CFScript is not feature complete with CFML. I think this was fixed with CF11.

As for their sql support, I tried the ORM and it's nothing to write home about. The CFML sql support is slightly friendlier than php's prepared statements, but php's prepared statements enable reuse where as cfml's prepared statements are more copy/paste reuse.

The whole "tags look like html" looks terrible to me and seems like a bad idea. Occasionally you have to drop into java because Coldfusion CAN'T do something. (Try parsing a date from the Twitter API).

Well, this is a bit hackish, but I got this to work with a minute of effort:

Tried it on Windows 10, latest Chrome. Ctrl-r didn't work on those killed tabs, had to click reload button. But other than that, the effect seemed to be same than on OS X.

Use at your own risk.

You can't use taskkill, because on Windows, all Chrome processes have the same file name, chrome.exe.

Edit:

This one should be a bit more reliable and safer. Note that it is not completely visible because of HN CSS:

I couldn't get past the paywall, but let me take a rough guess: those working in an open office after an illness hits the schools were most susceptible. First the parents, then a few waves of those who caught it from them.

Based on experience from the last few months, two major illnesses (one viral, one bacterial) flowed through the schools and into the parents, who came to work and subsequently took out 3/4 the workforce.

Nothing unexpected, sadly.

What should be sufficient to get a warrant? It seems to me that making warrants harder to get (or impossible), would actually be bad for society at large. In the case of warrant you have a targeted tool, one aimed at a specific person or group, and a demonstrated need approved by a third party that is not law enforcement.

The alternative is dragnetting. Or not having investigative tools. I don't know that I like either option as a citizen.

Awesome to hear! Share feedback once you had the opportunity to play with it!
The FBI's backup in this case to Apple agreeing to work with them might just be to force Apple to disclose their signing key for iOS disk images, which could potentially be worse since it would enable the FBI and not Apple to control on which device(s) the image was installed. From a PR standpoint, that might be better for Apple since they could argue that they did not cooperate in creating a bypass, but from a technical perspective, it would be much worse.

Were I in Apple's position, I would probably do what Apple is doing here... but it's a harder question than just "should we cooperate?" They have to ask, "what if we don't?"

15 Reasons Why Your Startup Will Never Get Funded
Glad to hear it helps! Have you tried it yet?
> maybe it's time to hand this over before law enforcement wants even more which will doubtless pave the way for mass surveillance of devices.

The FBI is already paving that way with this case. They don't overly care about access to this particular iPhone. They're taking this case through the courts so that they can establish a precedent that allows them to force manufacturer cooperation to unlock any phone.

Edit: If they really cared about access to this individual phone, they wouldn't be going through the courts to get it; they'd be talking to the NSA TAO or other LEO with advanced forensic capability. As several people have pointed out, this iPhone 5C does not have a Secure Enclave and probably does not present a significant challenge to forensically analyze, to people that know what they're doing. They're going through the courts on this so they can get carte blanche to access iPhones 5S and above, which no LEO currently has capabilities to inspect.

Further edit: This is Farook's work phone. His main, personal phone was found destroyed in a dumpster near the site of the attacks. I find it incredibly unlikely the FBI really cares much about the contents of this individual phone, they just want a high-profile test case to expand their surveillance capabilities.

In my experience, your typical startup has its own drone handling resumes. It may not be a dedicated HR person—it could even be a fellow developer—but it's still someone with their own biases and blind spots. Engineers can certainly better understand how the demands of a position map to a candidate, but there's a tendency to "hire someone like me" that doesn't exist to the same extent with dedicated HR people.

Apple vs. Google on privacy: a tale of absolute competitive advantage

Does this mean an Ubuntu phone will finally be available in the US?
True, but then if it's a 10-person startup there's also the danger that they're so amazed by your ingenuity they decide they definitely want to hire you as soon as they've closed that next round so they can afford a few more people.

Now it might be the case that you're so engaged with their mission you want to wait a few months for a below market salary offer (hey, you're obviously far too keen to negotiate it) but it might be a trick that's easier to consistently pull off with a maverick-friendly businesses with more substantial funding or revenue

> Apple has implicitly for a long time, and lately much more vocally, cared about privacy.

They say that. But with closed source software we can't verify that it's true. I'm not saying they don't care about privacy, only that we don't really know if they do or not.

In London Uber is far cheaper than black cabs as well as having much, much better service. The better service probably guaranteed them some sort of market share there, but the price has given them a shot at permanent market dominance there too.
Maybe that would force manufacturers to be in a position where they can truthfully say "we can't do that". I'd prefer that to the current situation where Apple basically has a backdoor they're just trying to keep for themselves.

I don't get why you have to go to such extremes to get hired. In my experience getting hired at a startup is like getting hired anywhere else - in fact generally it's easier. You send in a CV, attend one or two interviews (personal and technical), and get a decision. I'm not sure what it's like now but weren't companies finding it really difficult to find engineers in SV not that long ago? That should make things even easier.

In my case, all the person running the campaign had to do was send out weekly messages to those who had purchased. The content could be something like "I'm trying to call my partner, but he's not answering". You may get your hardware. But if you don't, the game is slanted against you having some sort of acceptable outcome.

I'd consider it a gamble and wouldn't spend any sum of money that I'd feel bad about losing.
I was of the opinion that apple is actually signing individual OS installs (using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHSH_blob), so ultimately, apple would still be very much aware, if not totally in control of what firmware is installed where.

No, your post has nothing to do with the article, which starts with people getting back surgery (or not) depending on which doctors they see.

Walmart spotted that, and decided to see if they can predict other stuff. They now send messages to people "at risk of diabetes"

> Employee wellness firms and insurers are working with companies to mine data about the prescription drugs workers use, how they shop and even whether they vote, to predict their individual health needs and recommend treatments.

> Trying to stem rising health-care costs, some companies, including retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc., are paying firms like Castlight Healthcare Inc. to collect and crunch employee data to identify, for example, which workers are at risk for diabetes, and target them with personalized messages nudging them toward a doctor or services such as weight-loss programs.

It has some other stuff too:

> Welltok Inc., whose clients include Colorado’s state employees, has found that people who vote in midterm elections tend to be healthier than those who skip them, says Chris Coloian, the firm’s chief solutions officer.

There are plenty of risks:

> “There are enormous potential risks” in these efforts, such as the exposure of personal health data to employers or others,” says Frank Pasquale, a law professor at the University of Maryland, who studies health privacy.

I'm reminded of the supermarket loyalty card scheme that was outing pregnant women to their family by sending them vouchers for baby products (nappies etc). Some of these women were young adults living with their parents. (I can only find a link to a US story about Target: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.h... But I think it's happened in the UK with Boots too.)
The Five Myths of Big Data
Adopting Agile Development and Implementing Agile Are Not the Same Thing
I used to work on Wall St in technology. To make 300K or more as a developer, you need to either be in Quant Finance or probably work at a hedge fund, Prop. trading or high frequency trading firm.
The other way to make big money on Wall St is to become a specialized consultant in a specific field.

The reality is that majority of developer work for Wall St is to build/manage legacy systems from back in the days. Will you believe it if I said I worked with a back office system at one of my clients in 2010 which was built in IBM iSeries ? Not to scare you but you will be working with old technology a lot on Wall St and not everything will be fancy new JS framework (some are catching up with those too)

Also, on an average, it will be VERY difficult to get over 160-170K as a base salary. Most people fall in the 120-150K range even after years of experience. Sure, you could get some bonus on top but consider those almost zero in today's market on wall st. Pay raises ? Forget about it. You may get 1-2% if lucky. Some years, you get 0 pay raise.

So don't be illusioned about the 300K number. Those are possible but only if you fit the criteria as I explained above. You are looking at average of 120-150K base like I said. Anything over it, you need to become a Director or above and go up the food chain.

The trick of working on Wall St in tech is simple. Negotiate the best pay you can BEFORE you get the job. Once you have it, forget about getting a big raise or bonus these days on wall st in technology.

Replicant supports 3G devices:

I think my comment was misinterpreted. Our legal system is a part of our government, which is a representative democracy. Part of the idea behind a representative democracy is that it is designed to protect the minority from majority mob rule. By definition, edge cases are cases that fall outside of the normal majority. Our legal system is fuzzy because it is operated by humans, not silicon.

The design of a case law system however, which the U.S. operates under, is intended to minimize fuzziness by looking at case precedent for guidance on issues moving forward. So in a sense, case law is intended to be the legal equivalent of mathematical proofs in the courtroom. Obviously this analogy isn't 100% correct, but the main reason it can't be is because of the thousands of edge cases that come up in real life...edge cases that are minority cases intended to be protected by representative democracy, but the case law legal system has difficulty actually doing so because of the design of the case law system. See the conflict? Completely lost yet?
