I've observed this on my laptop and iPad. Subscription content is only available on the Kindle hardware.

Sadly, this means I'll probably be canceling my NY Times subscription next month, as the free iPad app offers enough content to make the $20/month Kindle-only sub pretty unappealing.
I have troubles understanding this. So the Hong Kong servers are not censored, but they are also not blocked by the Chinese firewall? Or how does it all work? If the Hong Kong servers are neither blocked nor censored, where is the problem?
I mentioned it elsewhere in this thread. There's a "Click-to-run" SKU of Office 2010 available running under App-V. It's (seriously) magical technology. Your application streams to you while you run it, application updates are completely transparent, and registry modifications are entirely within the App-V sandbox. There's some work that MS had to do to add hooks to allow Office 2010 to interact with the local system when necessary.
While certain aspects of water may still be unexplained -- like its phase transitions, for example -- that doesn't leave the door open for contradictions of the aspects that are understood.

"Memory" requires some form of information storage, in this case in one of the simplest molecules known to man. Not only would any physicist be stumped to even propose some form of information storage (i.e., "we don't know how it might have memory"), but any such proposal would contradict the current body of knowledge of chemistry (i.e., "we know that it can't have memory -- there's nowhere for it to hide").

...and that's just one little part. Even if there was some kind of "memory" possible in water, you would have to explain how that memory would act on cells.
Seems like a good time to try their luck though. Demand for non-petroleum powered cars is building, nobody is established as a manufacturer and it seems the technology is now up to the job. It's still a gamble, but the odds seem a bit better than usual.
Ignore your friends social media guy.
Well personally I care about good craft and elegance. These are subjective to be sure.

But I'm immediately suspicious of the statement "who cares if it works?". As if any old rubbish will do. I have a pact with myself; I'll stop working with the web if I ever gain that attitude. Nothing more depressing than a tradesman that doesn't respect his tools.
Isn't there already sandboxing for registry stuff in Windows 7? I really haven't followed it closely but I seem to remember reading that they give fake directories and registries to applications. So they think they mess with the real thing, but they really don't.
That would be really interesting if Tumblr and other sites create a posterous importer and everyone is a good 302 redirect citizen. Then you could switch to any service at any point, seamlessly.
that reaction is what I had in mind when I chose to do it in node. And I wanted to learn node of course.
it is only available to Windows 7 Professional,
Enterprise, and Ultimate editions

That's sounds like a business issue, not a technology limitation, unless there are costs associated with it that make it impossible for them to offer it across all of the many versions.

It also suffers from the overhead limitations of VMs

OS X was in a similar situation, twice: first with the OS 9 classic environment then with Rosetta for PPC-compiled apps. Performance with each was less than ideal, but that's what was needed to move on.
The visible spectrum of web tools suck. HTML and CSS are awkward. The web itself is an incredible, beautiful thing – but some of the technologies are seriously flawed and drafted by people with the wrong ideas.

If I was a cabinet maker and all I had to work with was sawdust, you'd sure as hell bet I'd invent a machine to compact it into something I could build solid structures out of. I wouldn't consider gluing pieces of sawdust together by hand to be any sort of meaningful craft.

Not so: when a given inbound sender first sent a message to a given alias address, your site would simply need to generate a session user (e.g. "reply-af389jgls9@tempalias.com"), write it into the "Reply-To" field of the inbound message (leaving the "From" field intact) and resend it to the aliased user. Then, when the aliased user replies to the message, their reply will come back to you, you'll look up what inbound sender "reply-af389jgls9@tempalias.com" maps to, and then send them a message yourself, seemingly originating from the original alias address. You'd be, effectively, a two-way proxy.
It's worth noting that those 400 lines are not what's sent over the wire. Generally, you'll send something like this as a little snippet of JSON then tear it apart on the client and construct whatever HTML you need to render it nicely.

I suspect the author had a look in Firebug and came to the wrong conclusion.

So no, it's not bloat. It's just presentation.
Don't native corporations in China have an interest in keeping Google out? I suspect their license will not be renewed.
I see a lot of developers complaining about this, but from the point of view of a user, that feels like the limit of how much users (me) would be willing to read per-app.

In my experience, it's rare that an app cannot be adequately described in that space.
Startup Idea and Real-World MBA Idea: Fantasy VC
yeah. tempalias is similar. I wanted to provide something that doesn't require you to use a web interface to read the mail though.

The beauty of tempalias (IMHO - and I'm biassed) is that you (and only you) receive your email in your usual mail client.

Doesn't seem to be. They're not censoring anything, as the redirect is still available. This more playing semantics with Chinese Gov't Policy while still making uncensored info available to those savvy enough to know to click a link (which should be pretty much everyone).

EDIT: Ahahahahah! The landing page: http://www.google.cn/landing/cnexp/indexd.html is really just an image that looks like a censored search. Every user would click it, and it then redirects. Amazingly cheeky! Hopefully the technologically illiterate bureaucrats there will see that it doesn't automatically redirect, and be satisfied without digging deeper. Hahahahaha.
You are not qualified, in any way, to determine what, if anything, had an effect on you or on other people. You are not capable of telling if your back pain, for example, was cured by homeopathy or had run its course. And this is why anecdotes are not considered evidence.

Anecdotes like yours are enough to warrant investigating to see if there is actually something going on. So people have - they have conducted trial and trial, and found homeopathy ineffective beyond any placebo effect.

It has no plausible mechanism by which it could work. It has no statistically significant effect when tested. It is dangerous and kills people. Hopefully you will wake up and realise this before you choose a homeopathic "remedy" for something serious and end up dead.
1. I hope we add this soon

2. I'm going to take my chances among the HN community and say: I think this is low priority because

i. Most other services don't even offer import. Posterous offers import from (soon to be) 15+ services. this is not easy

ii. Posterous supports all different post/media types so that we can import from so many different services. We put our focus here

iii. I care about sharing with my family and friends. They don't care about permanent URLs as much as being able to find my site and search for what they want. cc/google

If you are a pro blogger (and maybe you are), and you have major google juice on some URLs, then yes, maybe you care about this. But most people aren't, and don't.

There are many reasons why someone should or shouldn't move between competing services on the internet. But urls seems like a very small reason to make that decision. Future services (Posterous or maybe others!) might offer super compelling reasons to move.

Not moving because of urls seems like not switching to a Mac because you have all the Windows keyboard shortcuts memorized.

In my lifetime, I expect to move between blogging platforms, phone providers, desktop OSs. I will buy different brands of cars, live in different neighborhoods, probably even switch email providers.

Yes, there are switching costs. But we hope to minimize them. And more importantly, we hope to focus on adding awesome features so you are willing to incur that switching cost.

All lovely. Of course, in homeopatic "treatments", the water is allowed to evaporate away on a sugar pill. So does sugar have magic memory too?
The relevant question is, "How much more like the iPad?"

If you look at the evolution of the sandboxing on the iPhone/iPad, you'll remember that the first version didn't even offer cut-and-paste between applications, and that multi-tasking is just coming now.

Sidetracking a bit, is it possible for developers from those countries to display ads and raise revenue from them? It appears as though Google is encouraging that as the primary business avenue on the Android, and a lot of Android app developers make equal (if not more) money from ads as from sales.
Logo top left looks terrible. Green on green makes the 'Tech' bit slightly unreadable and looks cludgy.

Advert next to it, fair enough.

Menu bar looks like it's trying to be 'retro' but failing miserably. Bad readability and looks like it was made in MS-Paint in a couple of minutes.

Body of site looks odd in white, too much space.

Footer looks like an afterthought, without any actual usual footer items.

Page also takes up a ton of CPU and makes it so I can't really scroll it very well.

From the announcement: "welcome to the future"

Yeah I'd take a look at http://twit.tv and http://cnettv.cnet.com/live/ who have been doing this for quite some time.
Just support moving the URLs. Not that big of a deal.

Bingo! I wanted comment this exact same thing. I use Windows because I want to control what I do, not let someone else control things, like I have with my iPad and iPhone.

If the future of Windows in a controlled environment like iOS4.0, then my future leads to making Ubuntu my primary boot segment.
Yes, but for little startups / projects like the kind you mentioned, you could likely go through a middleman with good connections who could get you a working ICP, which would probably technically be that of a shell company you did not own but which was 'lending' you the ICP. Once you got bigger, you would have the money to go through more official channels.

Going the super-official route would be a bit painful unless you already owned a company because the minimal financing for a corporation is high here (compared to the US).

More generally, the rule is - don't yammer about sensitive political issues and try to follow the law and you'll probably be OK.
It does that with a completion script, typically put in /etc/bash.completion.d. All scripts in this directory are sourced by /etc/bashrc. Each app provides its own completion script.
ok. I see what you mean.

I am one of these old-school mail admins though that insist that they can do what ever they want with the envelope, but the mail itself should be left alone (with the exception of the received:-header).

Once you begin messing with the message, you risk breaking stuff - in your example: What would you do if the message already had a reply-to? Sure. Store that with the session, but what if two mails with different reply-to addresses are sent in the same session? Right. Index it by message id. What if that's missing?

We are talking can-of-worms here. This is breakage waiting to happen. Sure. It'll work in many (probably most) cases, but it could also fail badly.
Yes, you're very right. I more accurately should have said acting in the shareholders interest, which it certainly is in this type of non-shady way to lessen tax liability. If a director, maybe al gore, was against the idea for the pious sake of giving more money to support the govt, that would violate fudiciary duty.
I've got something called an Xstreamer (http://www.xtreamer.net/xtreamer/overview.aspx)

It's a really simple media playback device. It has a network jack and a Wi-Fi module. But the really great part of this product is that you can plug in two external drives via 2x USB ports. You can also install an internal 2.5" drive.

And those drives are shared across my network via SMB.

The company also appears to have a fairly large open source development community and openly promotes people to hack their hardware: http://forum.xtreamer.net/mediawiki-1.15.1/index.php?title=X...

They have a NAS product as well - Which allows you to install "custom software." I haven't had a look at it though.
Obviously no piece of software is self-contained. It has to make use of some sort of resources and interact with the user in some way. For a sandboxed platform, you carefully design the APIs to not grant any unintended privilege to apps. You can still do all sorts of fancy integration, you just do it through an airtight API.
WHat is the difference? Well, there are two prongs to the response, which correspond to the phrases "known unknowns", and "unknown unknowns". In the case of empirical studies of homeopathy, we see that it is actually ineffective. This gives us more confidence in discarding the "unknown unknowns" - there doesn't seem to be any strange effect going on that our current theories don't know how to describe.

The second part though, is to point out that our current theoretical understanding of how the world works suggests that homeopathy is just bunk, that there is no known theoretical underpinning that could explain a response to a homeopathic medicine (well, apart from the placebo effect).

Both responses re-inforce the other. If we just had a theoretical justification for refusing homeopathy, we might be wrong about the theory, or have overlooked a crucial factor. If we just had the experimental results, we might be tempted to conclude that the experiment wasn't well-enough designed. But when the experiment and the theory agree with each other, we can start to have a very high level of confidence that we know what we are talking about. If homeopathy does actually work, we would have to conclude that today's theories of physics and chemistry are wrong, and that all of the well-conducted experiments that have so far been done have had some fatal flaw in them. That's a highly improbable situation, which is the important information that politicians need to understand. It is important to explain that multiple lines of reasoning indicate that homeopathy just doesn't work.
I don't think this changes much - Google isn't really going dark in China, people will just have to type in google.com (which many of them probably already do) or google.com.hk.

I think much of the damage from Google pulling out has already been done - I know people who've switched back to Baidu because they find little things about Google HK frustrating (for example, Google.cn used to mimic Baidu in that you didn't need to control click to open a search result in a new tab - that was the default - Google HK behaves like Google US does).

This is cool and the fact that he documented his work is also really helpful. The development diary is well written and is worth the read.

"You are not capable of telling if your back pain, for example, was cured by homeopathy or had run its course."

In my case, I may not be because it was for 3 days. But then I cured a large number of people for similar complaints within 1 day. Couple of weeks ago, I recommended Rhustox200 to a friend of a friend who had back pain for the last 1 year. This had started when he lifted a heavy object at that time. Rhuxtox faithfully cured him. Before that pain killers were temporary relief.

I am just narrating my positive experience for the last 10 years. And my point is that it works for me as it claims.

As I said in my comment, I have helped countless cases (fevers, pains etc) where relief was required within hours or days and I always got good results with homeopathy.

Homoepathy has cured, in my experience, really really serious cases in such a simple way that sometimes I just wonder what all this is; a placebo effect?
Number of shares I can buy carries no information. Percentage of the company that I can own for x dollars carries some information.

Although if you already knew about the earlier plans you mention, than the new 17$ per share is news. (I was not that informed.)

I am quite happy with cheap stuff. If you'd rather pay more, I can act as a man in the middle. Just send me an email and we can set something up.
Charge small, charge often.

The EC2/Rackspace Cloud type of micropayment system is what I'd use here. Charge per chat session to begin with.

Why?

1. Psychologically, to the consumer of the solution, each chat session seems way cheaper. Getting somebody to sign on to paying 0.025 cents a session is easier than getting somebody to sign onto a $30 or $50/month solution, even though in the end the number of chat sessions may add up in your favour.

2. Most potential value is captured. Charging per chat session takes out the hard work of calculating large, tiered pricing models to capture your consumer base. Think microeconomics: a small-time user might want to pay you $10/mo for a few chat sessions, but your pricing starts at $30/month.

3. You can always add tiers later that are based on usage by scaling down the price as quantity goes up (a traditional economy of scale.) Have somebody running through tens of thousands of requests? Give them a slightly lower price.
It's in the Economist's special report. (Maybe not in this article, but in another of the bunch.)

Gattuca would have been an admissable typo.
Thanks. Sounds relatively contained. You could probably make it even more contained with some symlink magic or so.
I know there is a really strong bias against homeopathy here.

I would suggest a thought experiment. Just for a moment think that homeopathy might have a grain of truth. And with this, ask how and why about its cures. This might help me to understand your point clearly.
The fact that this has been upvoted is deeply confusing to me.
"Do you know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine." If only I knew where I heard this.

Edit: I'm fairly certain it came from House or Penn and Teller's Bullshit. Can anyone say one way or another?
This is not reddit, and you should be very embarrassed you posted this. You've been here 3 years.

And BTW, the review was not epic, it was stupid.
It's not that complicated; it's certainly not a can of worms. You're imagining some complex "session" data structure—probably something working a bit like Gmail's conversation view—but all I really meant to imply was a set of (sender address, sender alias, receiver address, receiver alias) 4-tuples. No primary key or anything, even, just a constraint that each row is unique in total (i.e. that it forms a set, not a bag.)

The "sender address" is simply whatever return address will get a message back to the sender: read from the Reply-To of the message, if it has it, or the From field, if it doesn't. The "sender alias" is simply a temporary email address, generated from the hash of the sender address. That means, whenever you receive a message with a different return address, that you create a new, different 4-tuple. You don't need to involve message-ids; every message is processed idempotently to every other, with messages from the same sender to the same receiver just happening to generate the same 4-tuples.

Picture it like being a secretary. You get a message from robj@example.com, and you tell your boss "You have a message from your friend Bob." You read it to him. He never sees the original message—he only hears your transliteration of it into speech. Then, he tells you "reply to Bob with a photo of my kids." You don't try to send it to the first Bob on his contact list; you look in your own mental map (i.e. the server database) and turn "Bob" back into robj@example.com, and send what he tells you. In other words, you're not really acting as a blind relay; you're acting more as a personal agent.

As an extra aside, the system would even work in a completely symmetrical fashion: every sender could also be a receiver, and vice-versa, as long as there was only a single method for generating aliases, and it happened automatically (i.e. users didn't get to pick anything about their aliases; they were just generated from hashes, like I mentioned.) This is basically what switchboard operators did at the inception of telephone service.
