They were both on wifi. The problem on the 4 was likely caused by it supporting N, which is of course much better than 3GS's G but is more sensitive to the edge case of ~500 people in the same room as you running wireless base stations without bothering to set up channels properly.

I don't think a change to the antenna would affect how it behaves in the same room as its base station, anyway.

I find that writing is more powerful than reading in terms of learning a language (or maintaining it) because your mind needs to really switch to the other language. Reading is more passive.

I wholeheartedly agree that people gloss over a lot of issues when they talk about distributed social networks. Diaspora is not going to replace Facebook in September. I continue to have some amount of faith though.

> how many of us constantly are forced to be the "tech guy" in our friends/family circle? It SUCKS. Now imagine what you have to deal with when you're hosting a node...where do I sign up..

Hopefully some kind of standards will emerge and people will find a way to monetize hosting. "Volunteers" doesn't scale.

> Now add that that to the facts that normies on facebook etc. simply don't notice or care

At some point Facebook is likely to do something, either through craziness or error, that pisses normies off. They originally wrote their chat functionality such that third parties could read your private chats by going through a few simple steps. That kind of thing could cause normies to care a lot.

> the issue here is that this creates the need for a Google-like replacement to index these social networks

I don't see why a third party index of network nodes is a problem, as long as it only indexes information people have chosen to make public/indexable.

Isn't it a good problem to have? I never heard of a startup / business that died because it couldn't adapt properly to the crossing.

I think there is a confusion between being young and having enough savings to last you for a year or two. Many young people have zero expenses and thus having two years saved up is easy. For older people, especially with kids, it means you actually have to keep a budget and save. The real goal is the same, having a buffer that lets you take long term bets and still have enough time to find a job in case they don't turn out OK.

I'm in the same boat as you are, a bit over 30 with a kid. Quite frankly, doing a startup now is a lot less risky. I've already done 2 startups before and worked at some incredible companies. And because maintaining that buffer is harder my wife and I have years of practical experience in planning a budget and tracking expenses.

I'm at Bournemouth Uni in the UK. I think it works quite well here for most of the courses (which more of a focus on film effect and game content) to be under the media umbrella, but for outliers like me it feels a bit odd receiving a Bachelor of Art for writing a (simple) games engine. Now I'm finishing an MSc which has a focus on programming for film effects.

One of the downsides I've felt from my experience is a lack of formal education in software development. I've had quite a lot of programming lectures but everything beyond C++ inheritance has been off my own back.

Another factor with Bournemouth is there is a strong (and positive) influence from the London film effects houses. There is almost an assumption that on finishing, you go work for someone in films which (going back to the original point) just adds to the separation from traditional CS.
I'm not sure what they expect exactly.

On one hand, as a hacker myself, I like the idea. It's as free-form as possible. Which is exactly the right spirit of hacking: no forms to fill out, no rules and procedures.

On the other hand, they are bound to end up with thousands of weird requests. Sorting through those will be a lot of work, in order to find a handful of gems, I'm afraid.

But I hope it works out for them and trickles down to the entire hacker community.

Conditions like this were enjoyed by 19th century industrial workers - and still go on in some of the poorer countries today. It's the result of unregulated working conditions and inadequate or non-existent labour laws. If the factory owner's only motivation is making money at the fastest possible rate, and there is an abundant supply of workers of a similar standard then labour can essentially be treated as a consumable.

I recall one fellow from Gujarat I met at engineering college who was in it because the degree would earn him a better dowry. He explained it thus:

1. If you have a B.E. degree, you get a INR 2000000 dowry alongwith a 800cc Maruti Suzuki automobile.

2. If you have a MBA degree, you get a INR 3500000 dowry, alongwith a Maruti Suzuki Esteem, or a Tata Indica.

3. If you have a M.D degree, you get a INR 5000000 dowry, alongwith a Maruti Suzuki Esteem / Tata Indica, and a furnished apartment.

4. If you have completed IAS school, you get a INR 7500000 dowry, alongwith a luxury car, and a rowhouse/bungalow.

Apparently, the way the parents reason when it comes to sending their kid to college is: if sending him to college costs me such and such, what will the returns on such an investment be?
So, pushing this thought a little further, I'd say such a (or any) deity and us have at least this one thing in common: looking in amazement at those primes.
You could work at a startup and get some of the same experience, depending on the startup's problem domain. With a small enough startup, you'll wear many hats, and get to make smaller decisions, which would lead to some of the skills you'll end up using when you're running your own show.

Circumventing access controls should not be illegal. The DMCA has shown us why this is a bad idea. If circumventing access controls leads to a real crime, then prosecute that crime instead.

For an analogy to the real world, think about lockpicking. Lockpicking should be legal. Picking locks isn't the real crime; it's theft, trespassing, destruction of property, etc. that we should prosecute.

In this case users authorized Power Ventures to access their Facebook accounts (in exactly the same way users authorize Facebook to access their GMail/Hotmail/etc. accounts), so no actual crime was committed after circumventing the access controls.
I'm confused by the word "unmonetizeable" there. I don't see that email is unmonetizeable, and surely monetizeability is a good thing if you want third parties to adopt a protocol. Did you mean "monetizeable"?

Anyway I think email and social networking hosting are both monetizeable. Social networking is probably more so, which is a good thing in terms of getting people to host it. It's true that there isn't a strong standard protocol, but that doesn't seem to me like an intractable problem. I agree with pretty much all the issues you've raised, but I don't see it as an impossible medium-long term goal.

Ask HN: Mindmaps for blog entries: Is there a code for that ?
I run a blog that is highly technical (http://nuit-blanche.blogspot.com) and I pay special attention to link back to previous entries relevant to new posts. However, in the past few months, I have run into the issue of trying to find back some entries but could not do that very well using the search engine that sits on top of the blog and I am wondering if the following piece of software exists. I am looking for a way to graphically show the connection between different entries. Since there are many entries, moving about this map of connection would provide a view of the text of an entry when the mouse goes over that node.

Think of it as a mindmap for blogs. It would make sense to have an application like that since blogs are a way to detail one's thought on specific problems, a mindmap of some sort would have the ability to use the internal links provided by the blog entries to provide a good big picture/mind map.

Is there a java based or graphics based solution that does this automatically ?
It doesn't work like that. If you use this to create, say, a cryptographic key, you can break it if you can bruteforce an 80-bit key; depending on the specific application, you may need much less (e.g. if you can perform a birthday attack, you only need 2^40 tries).
If you ask yourself why that matters, take a look at the play frameworks(www.playframework.org) domain models. They use hibernate, wich implements the JPA spec(JSR 220) as ORM. When 1.1 is out and scala support is in, you don't even have to use java any more. But the JPA implementation patterns should be as useful as for java.

Besides that, the article collection could be a good resource on general ORM-Problems, but i don't know that for sure.

I think the more I've learnt, the more I'm coming to a similar opinion that I could probably write any kind of program I got asked to.

In film effects, I'd probably end up working within an R&D or pipeline department. In games, maybe working on the engine? In true though, I've a very poor knowledge or the structure of a software or games team (though I know most of the inner workings of film effects).

I suppose I label myself as games / graphics programmer because I've always been making/learning about games or effects...

One relatively simple way to do this might be to pass legislation saying that the terms and conditions can only be up to a maximum number of words which must be from a standard dictionary, with no links or supplemental articles permitted.

It sounds like you're saying that these millionaires who became millionaires through inheritance, hard work, and chance can't write a post like Jason's because of how they got there.

The reason they couldn't have made a post like Jason's might well be for many reasons, maybe they...

- don't want to share their experience and knowledge widely and freely

- think they're too busy to do the above

- hadn't considered blogging it

- are not as eloquent in distilling and expressing it.

I think there would be interesting and valuable lessons to learn from any of the millionaire types you mention - even from those who've done it only once, and from those who've failed trying.

However, the bias on the study is terrible, and I'd have loved to see the questions they suggested like: "It would have been good, for example, if a question had asked about negative consequences of drug prohibition, or the positive consequences of increased immigration from Mexico."

But even looking at the simple ones like "rent controls reduce housing availability" and "minimum wage laws increase unemployment" there is some unfortunately shocking naivety displayed.

The linked article, and you, seem to be suggesting that Google needs to add capabilities to Android to support different resolutions and pixel densities. I'm saying that they already have. In fact they're already talking about developing Android apps for Google TV, a 3rd entirely different form factor.

Having to update Android apps to take full advantage of newer form factors, is entirely different from having to fix Android itself to work with different form factors, and even if the apps are not updated they'll probably still generally work better than iPhone apps on iPads because of Android's inherent multiplicity of devices.

Any of McClure's presentations, which you can find on Slideshare trivially, are very worth reading in their entirety. Most are rated ARRRRRRRRR, though.

In particular, note how a) track stuff before you can necessarily make sense of it and b) time spent looking at numbers which does not result in decisions for the business is wasted time. (B suggests against spending lots of time in Google Analytics for most people. Get funnel tracking and A/B testing going and you'll rarely use it anymore except for looking at search keywords.)

Quo Vadis, Cons?
On the last one, economists are less agreed on that than they used to be. Surveys used to routinely find 90%+ of economists thinking that minimum wage laws increase unemployment, but in recent surveys it's down to ~60% or so, because a few large empirical studies have failed to find any relationship. Economic theory still claims that there should be a relationship, but it seems not to actually happen in practice when minimum wages have been raised, or at least happens at small enough magnitude that it's difficult to detect.
Addressing this in a slightly different order:

> > I agree we want regulation to be of the second type, but sometimes the first type is the only practical way to do it

> You're assuming that the benefits of the first type exceed the costs.

Yes, that's what I meant when I said "the only practical way to do it." FCC licensing is not prohibitive on innovative, small radio companies, and is hugely beneficial to avoid a tragedy of the commons.

> > Bureaucratic love-ins aside, regulation doesn't need to fall any heavier on the little guy than the big guy

> It may not "need to", but it always does. Walmart can always amortize its regulatory burden over more revenue someone else can. And with the savings, they can get special rules and treatment. They get to write the rules.

Two things: amortizing is unavoidable, but Walmart has more regulatory burden than a corner shop, so it has both more costs and more revenues -- who knows what the ratio is? Often the corner shop avoids regulation costs by getting away with ignoring some of it, which is probably as near to optimal as we can hope to get.

Getting to write the rules, we'll get to that.

> Yes, I know that you have good intentions for regulation, but reality trumps.

The Clean Air Act, the Factories Act, the Child labour laws, clean water acts, the powers that will be used on BP to make them pay for Deepwater, FCC spectrum allocation. Yes it's political, and yes it's messy, and of course special interests get more than their fair say, but those are problems with democracy, not regulation. My intentions are irrelevant, but reality works out pretty well thank you so very much.

> Regulation is systemic risk. It's also always captured by the politically powerful.

What's your point? "The politically powerful set the rules" is a tautology. The only way I can see you going from here is hardcore Libertarianism, and I don't bother debating that.
