That's pretty odd, anyone knows why that is?
Agile is Becoming Rigid
Personally, I purchased all the seasons of Daniel Tiger on iTunes so that we can watch them offline when in the car on our tablets/iPhones. I have no doubt we have already gotten enough mileage out of them to be a worthwhile purchase. Our girl will likely continue watching them over and over for another couple years. We really try to limit the amount of screentime she has, but sometimes (like when in the car) it's a better alternative than her being upset and struggling in her carseat (she's hated being strapped in since she was an infant). And if we have to entertain her, Daniel Tiger is bar none one of the best cartoons for kids out there. The real life lessons and character interactions are just outstanding. I think Fred Rogers would be very proud of the continued legacy and positive impact Daniel Tiger brings to the world.
Playing Devil's Advocate here: Isn't this just codifying the existing situation?

In other words, can the average user expect privacy on their home always-connected machine? I mean this as a technical, not legislative, question.
I'm not sure you understand what some of the words you wrote mean.
This is definitely why I prefer the Chromecast experience over loading Hulu through the PS3 (which is actually also pretty good, given that Daniel Tiger is always on the front page). It's a small difference, but when trying to get myself and my daughter ready in the morning, any reduction in friction is appreciated.
> the job market is getting super-specialized - once they'd ask for JavaScript programmers, now they ask exclusively for "Angular experience" or "React experience" or "$random_two_weeks_old_framework experience"; whether demanding such specific skillsets buy companies anything over asking for just a $language programmer is arguable

Honestly, this just aggravates me so much. I'd like to learn some of these technologies! But, no, even though I'm a solid programmer and I have a history of picking up new things as they get thrown at me at a company I'm already working at, nobody wants me if I don't already have a lot of experience with that one specific library under my belt.

Also, on a similar note, I've noticed this being done with IBM software for years. So many job descriptions I've had to pass on because they want specific experience with WebSphere and other software. I've seen this as early as 2010...

Integrating maps into a React and Redux app using Mapbox
Sure, but if it behaves significantly differently, then I think that precludes it from being a function by function rewrite. At the same time, a component by component rewrite can be a complete rewrite (but it depends a bit more on the details, I think). If the mainly user visible portions are rewritten, but much of the utility code and other components are not, it may appear behaviorally different, but but be largely the same code base. It's much harder to know, looking in from the outside.

For a simplistic example, say someone provides a "rewrite" of grep. Maybe the options are all different looking and sounding, so it may appear to be significantly different. But if the core of the matching algorithm and it's capabilities are largely unchanged, is it a that much of a rewrite? To the outside user it may superficially appear so, but to someone comparing the source from before and after, there may be an entirely different opinion, and even that may change if you come from a context of focusing on a particular aspect.

As applied to Trident/Edge, we may have a case where the person speaking was involved in a project to rewrite one major component of the browser, and so is speaking in that context. Maybe that component is responsible for about 60% of the code and functionality, but it still relies on a quite a bit of largely unchanged additional libraries. It's very subjective as to whether you think that qualifies as a rewrite of the project, and depends quite a bit on what was not rewritten, and what you think of that code.
Curious on what grounds are you making these claims?

Would you disagree if this was a startup whom had built an app store over a decade and was getting violated?

I am not a fan of jagurnaut tech companies but the rules are the rules. They built it and from what I can see (I am an IOS developer) the payment system is indeed in violation.

The guidelines clearly say that apple payment system MUST be used. It doesn't matter if you are Spotify or an indie game dev.

is 30% steep? absolutely! But hey if it was my business I would love it its a great margin - so would you.

Bottom line is Spotify is in violation and they don't want to pay the 30% which Is understandable but Apple will not budge because they don't half too.

TLDR; "Apple to Spotify: Kiss my Ass".

israel's security is by far the best for airlines and it actually spends a fractionth of the money and time and manpower that is spent BY THE TSA and european agencies per passenger minute spent waiting for intake .

remember that metric ---$ spent per passenger minute spent in intake.

that is the only metric that makes any difference.

it turns out violating everyone in line and touching their body takes too much time and does not add to security, while irritating travellers.

the key here is obviously using israeli methods, which are predominantly based on hiring HIGHLY educated young attractive women who are then TRAINED INTENSIVELY in the art of interviewing and lie detection and profiling of anxious or other emotional states of people-------AND THEN taking appropriate action to notify security officers.

this requires a different culture and education level.

the american system is simply to big and subject to the lowest common denominator as well as the inherent demands of using the tsa as a welfare job program in addition to a contracting profit welfare program.

the result is unlike israel's exclusively government operated program where a government job is attainable only by the elite, you get a security system where government jobs are given to unqualified or given to private profiteers whose incentive is to extract more profit , not to provide more efficient security.

the problem here is privatization heaped on top of government culture becoming a lowest common denominator.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT TECHNOLOGY.
also, counter to what many narrow minded anti-semites like to think-------israelis look like people from all over the western world, and MANY like my iraqi brother in-law look exactly semitic like arabic speaking peoples. SO....israeli security is not all about skin color and racial profiling. in fact, it's mostly NOT about that at all. like most things israeli, it's about using your brain as much as possible, and then just using some more of your brain when it hurts.
There's a pretty big difference between getting a $35 Chromecast vs even last generation's console. Other than the cost, I also feel that now that I'm a parent, my consoles are just terrible reminders that I will never again have the time or inclination to play any of the wonderful games that go with them.

Hello Robert,

Thank you for for your email.

I apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

There are no plans to provide any third party developers anything.

We will not be releasing a final version of software that is not already available, this means you will not be able to upload to a computer using your Eyefi card or Eyefi Center.

We currently have no plans to make our software open source for the Eyefi cards.

We cannot make any pledge that you've requested.

Again, I do apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
Jonathon

Questions for your FAQ:
1) Will you provide any documentation required to allow 3rd party developers to provide support for the products you are obsoleting?
2) Will you release a final version of software which allows your 'obsolete' cards to function independent of your network services, such as just a allows eyefi cards to upload to the computer running the service?
3) Will you open source your software that you are no longer offering which supports the cards you are obsoleting?
4) Will you maintain a list of other software which will allow continued use of the cards you're abandoning?
5) will you at least pledge to not threaten, harass or obstruct others for attempting to work with and use the perfectly good hardware which you are purposely invalidating?

There is nothing private about how 90% of internet companies make their money. Expecting otherwise in an industry that isn't geared towards privacy is naive. I wish the court would see it in a different light. But if you want to send a private note, encrypt a letter offline using PGP, print it, and send via US Mail.

Westeros is poorly designed
Sorry, IANAL, so maybe this advice is useless. I just spent a little bit doing some research and discovered that EasyDNS has a history of defending their customers from similar sorts of thuggery[0]. It may be worth your while to research an option like this, i.e. switching your DNS service (and domain registration, if they offer it) to EasyDNS or someone that would be willing to help you defend against sociopaths bent on stealing your domain and brand. It seems like now would be the time to research a more defense-oriented domain registrar and DNS provider that won't simply hand your domain over to the person with the most pull, as No-ip.com learned when Microsoft stole their domain. I can't really help you in this regard, but you will definitely want to transfer your domain to a registrar that doesn't have a history of caving to the first lawyer letter they get, which is probably most of them. Perhaps you may find both a name registrar and a DNS provider that will help you. Good luck!

Have a nice day
I have a powerline adapter (made in 2014) that hangs every other day if I let it operate in 802.11n (and it hangs every day if in mixed mode). Pinging it from my Raspy mitigates but does not eliminate the problem. I even installed a wall switch in the wall plug so it would be easier to recycle! In the end, I had to put it in 802.11g mode to have a slower but dependable home network. There are 3 routers in the house, fortunately the others do work in 802.11n without needing a power cycle from time to time (the most stable is the one supplied by the cable company - that's really surprising).

This is the scenario of consumer-grade WiFi - way less reliable than 10 years ago. When I replace the powerline by a blue cable, I can choose between buying a very expensive AP, or a 'modern' AP that freezes, or a WRT54GL that works.
I agree that meat farming, at least in the factory-style, is horrific. But this solution seems like it might make things worse.

If there's a meat tax, then farmers will have an incentive to cut even more corners, which might lead to even more cruel conditions.

Instead, maybe it makes sense to set a price floor for any operation over a certain number of animals. (IE, if you have more than 200 animals on your farm, you can't charge less than $10 a pound or something).

It has to do with some quirks in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and its interaction with state law. Card Craps is sometimes referred to as "California Craps" because it was invented to sidestep restrictions on the use of dice to determine the outcome of any wager in California tribal casinos. The situation is similar in other states with Indian casinos, which is why this game has spread.
Well yes, casinos don't benefit from being beaten they benefit from a a bunch of half assed half drunk hopefuls who have heard they can be beaten.
Ask HN: What software will you build if your financial needs were full covered?
While many of us have reasonably fulfilling professional lives, there is still the need to make mortgage payments and other financial needs that will keep us grinding away at a day job for years to come. And thus we find ourselves working on problems or industry sectors that we don't particularly care for.

So I wanted to try this thought experiment: Imagine that you are immediately freed of all financial obligations for the rest of your life (housing, taking care of family, saving for retirement etc).

What kind of software would you be bringing into existence then?
North Georgia newspaper publisher jailed over open records request
I think we can expect more of this increased rent seeking behavior from Apple as they continue their shift to a "services" business.
The problem that I have is that there's no way around this gatekeeper. With Android and Windows Phone I don't have to publish my app to their app stores if I don't want to--they allow me and my customers figure out how to handle this. With Apple, it's either follow their rules or nothing. I don't understand how they feel justified charging an ongoing 30% monthly subscription for hosting some assets.
Understood. It's just ambiguous. Being nauseatingly pedantic :), it just seems that the probability of not thinking of it is higher than thinking of it and dismissing it.

I just have a failure-fetish :) What ya gonna do?

http://tauri-tec.com | Full Stack Python Hacker | Canterbury, London, Dubai, Bangalore | REMOTE in reasonable timezone | Full-Time

Looking to join a small 4 person, casual, team of PhD's/Unix hackers who pride themselves on quality? Looking for a well run, well established, 10 year old company to work with? Do you love python, postgres, pyramid and sqlalchemy?

Drop us a line - we're working on a large, well funded, project where we process (for search & convenient reading) thousands of documents a day for the finance industry and need a solid pair of hands with a sense of humor and a life outside of work. This involves a pile of aws infrastructure, and a fair amount of tricky reporting and data-collection work, as well as things like 'similar to this document' and surrounding compliance. Lots of good concurrency issues and careful balancing of resources & profiling profiling profiling... and testing!

As pretty much everything we do is based on open source libraries we try to contribute back where we can, have contributed small patches to sqlalchemy & deform.

We will happily consider a range of experiences, but would prefer someone who is familiar with our tool-chain, any experience with elastic search & recommendation mechanisms a plus. Some frontend js/css knowlege, and sysadmin (ansible, linux) knowledge welcome too although we are happy to share internally.

Our main dev office is in Canterbury, Kent, but we have a presence in Dubai (Astrolabs in JLT) and Bangalore, as well as space available in a London office near Baker st. Depending on location we may need you to have appropriate visas in place already.

Drop us an email to contact at our domain name with a CV, and any work you may have open sourced online.

Our interview process will usually involve a skype chat, followed by a group chat with the whole team. Depending on background we may ask you to complete a task or two.

That setting on iOS refers to iAd, a service that died because it respected your privacy too much, and was therefore not appealing to advertisers. It seems unfair to compare Apple and Google on user privacy. They are poles apart.
