Email tags and notes?
Is there an email provider that allows you to add tags or attach notes to specific emails? It would be great if there was such a feature (on gmail, for instance) and if you could access a tag cloud (or search for) of all the tags you have embedded.

If there isn't, somebody please feel free to design something like this.

once you are inside the network, all bets are off anyways. Once I'm inside the network, I can ARP-spoof the gateway and get to all traffic anyways - no additional decryption needed.

While this might be a nasty oversight in the spec, for all intents and purposes, it is IMHO irrelevant as there are way easier methods to get at the data of other users in the network.
It's always very interesting to see the library of other people and especially the one of Peter Norvig... You may find books you don't know or see relationship between topics that you underestimated at some points.

Maybe it would be very interesting to see the bookshelves from HN users? I don't know if a lot of HN users have a LibraryThing account but it's a nice way to see what you share (or not share) in your bookshelves with someone else.

The exclusivity payments constituted a steadily growing part of what Dell reported as its operating earnings, from 10 percent in fiscal 2003 to 38 percent in the fiscal 2006, then jumping to 76 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the S.E.C. said.

yesterday I did a bit of research. I reset my iphone's data counter and hold a 2 minute skype call over 3g with my girlfriend. We held a normal conversation with both of us talking.

After two minutes, I sent out 652 KB of data and received 798 KB.

So this means that a minute of data is around 750KB.

My mobile subscription (Swisscom) comes with 250MB of inclusive data for CHF 35/month (around $35 or EUR 25).

With 750KB per minute, I can in theory talk for around 5.5 hours if I do nothing but Skype. My current data usage is around 50 MB/month, which leaves 200 MB unused which then is good for 4 hours of talk time.

Not bad.

I would have thought that a Skype conversation uses way more bandwidth than it apparently does.
For me, there's a very important lesson here about stress management. If you can manage stress effectively, you're allowing those creative thoughts to bubble to the surface, eventhough you may be going through the fund-raising process. Of course, managing the stress is the challenge, talking about it is no problem.

This is completely true! I'm very much learning as I go -- back at university when we did user interfaces it was all done in-code: I learned Java and TCL/TK without IDEs, then went on to do web programming and commandline stuff that didn't really need an IDE. So to actually start learning how to use an IDE I not only have to learn about design via IDE but also how the IDE works (also Obj-C, but that's another story) :)

And this is why I am still soldiering on with my little app (which is really just a learning opportunity for me rather than anything I plan on capitalising on, so it's okay for me to make mistakes :). I'd like to learn how to do it better, and you're right, that comes with experience. That said, I think the new XCode will help people like me a bit more because it will probably be easier to see the links between the UI and the code. :)

“Even if Thesis hadn’t copy and pasted large swathes of code from WordPress (and GPL plugins) its PHP (PHP) would still need to be under the GPL,”

Is this really true? I never thought a theme interfacing with other software using public APIs is a derivative. Is it just the GPL that sees it this way or is it the actual copyright laws too?

I got almost all of it wrong. I'm not very familiar with gcc's workings and usually just figure that the compiler is going to be dumb and fail at everything but the simplest optimizations. But then, when I actually go to do the tedious and source-obfuscating micro stuff I usually check my assumptions first - you kind of have to anyway, once you go that deep.
Nokia has shipped mobile Linux devices(770, N800, N810) long before no one even imagined Android. With touchscreens and all.

I moved all my webapp development from java to python+django. What I observed is:
- I code webapps much faster now
- I produce a lot less lines of codes
- Testing is so much faster due to uncomparable faster deployment time on development server
- Templating engine is more clear
- Configuration is faster, everything in one file, no sucky XMLs!
- Python is easier to read and so fun to code

Ultimately I feel now that moving from PHP to Java was a step backward, and I feel like now I made a big step forward by moving to Django.
The OpenBSD folks have been searching for a replacement for quite some time now. IIRC, they even got their kernel building with the ancient PCC compiler, which is also BSD licensed.

'have been debunked' - quite an emotionally laden phrase to introduce what is in fact an opposing view by another mathematician don't you think?

The hostility the Strong AI camp have for Penrose's views is fascinating - it must be infuriating to have such a respected mathematician and physicist take the time to write a few books refuting the reductionist approach. There certainly seems to be no room for a contrarian around those parts!

Thanks for the link, but to state that it debunked anything does not seem to be correct. It was an attempted refutation by a computationalist, and Penrose answers these criticims in: http://web.archive.org/web/20080618195657/http://psyche.csse...

I'd recommend reading the section "4. The "Bare" Gödelian Case". Two particularly relevant points!

"4.5 The many arguments that computationalists and other people have presented for wriggling around Gödel's original argument have become known to me only comparatively recently: perhaps we act and perceive according to an unknowable algorithm; perhaps our mathematical understanding is intrinsically unsound; perhaps we could know the algorithms according to which we understand mathematics, but are incapable of knowing the actual roles that these algorithms play. All right, these are logical possibilities. But are they really plausible explanations?

4.6 For those who are wedded to computationalism, explanations of this nature may indeed seem plausible. But why should we be wedded to computationalism? I do not know why so many people seem to be. Yet, some apparently hold to such a view with almost religious fervour. (Indeed, they may often resort to unreasonable rudeness when they feel this position to be threatened!) Perhaps computationalism can indeed explain the facts of human mentality - but perhaps it cannot. It is a matter for dispassionate discussion, and certainly not for abuse! "
There's this little thing called copyright. (There's also BugMeNot, which usually works.)
They should ship Android phones now. This will buy them a year and a half in which to progress their own operating system to the point of it being competitive, at which point they can launch phones with that, and have it be a differentiating factor amongst the, by then, sea of Android phones. They have no viable product in the smart phone space now, and the feature phone market has increasingly limited profit margins, so Android is the best option.
I think they still don't get it. Apple decides what's good for a user and whenever they have a conflict the look 'n' feel wins and the user loose. And that's not because they sell phones, they sell dreams!

Exactly. I've been looking at the new phones coming out and I think that a Nokia Android phone would kick everything else, including the iPhone4, out of the water.
I haven't read the entire article you linked to. Can you elaborate on something?

Godel's Incompleteness Theorem (in essence) said that the first order Peano axioms for the integers was not strong enough to prove all statement in the second order Peano axioms. My understanding is that mathematicians wanted a computable system that would be strong enough to prove all true statements encompassed by the second order system.

Godel showed this can't be done. No computable system can be strong enough to prove all true statements in the second order system. Given that humans can prove statements that are true in a system that can't be reducible to a computable set of axioms how can computer intelligence ever equal human intelligence? Human intelligence must be fundamentally not a computable system. What's wrong with this reasoning?
Yeah, I remember this. Every feature MySQL was lacking, they had "good reasons" that you didn't need it anyway. Even transactions, if you needed to roll back, do it in the application. Atomic update across several rows or several tables, why would anyone need that? Foreign keys? Too slow. Triggers? Do it in the application. Stored procs? Do it in the application. And so on and so on.

If you ignore the hype ("OMG! Slashdot uses it!!") MySQL occupies a dead ground between SQLite and Postgres... There's just no reason for it to exist.

I just mean the little niggling things people complain about like all the functions in the global namespace, inconsistent arguments, inconsistent error handling. I guess though a lot of PHP support comes from the deploy everywhere make minimal changes to old code ideas, so I can see why their quiet happy to not want to break to much old code.
Hmmm, does the data correlate with stock indexes?
Just as the "need" for sharding is driven by MySQL's lack of a sensible way to do big joins.
I tried Bugmenot before posting, it did not work.

I know about copyright. I tend to ignore it when I believe that breaking it would have no negative effect nor consequence. Your sense of morality may vary.

Answering my own question, here's a similar article: http://www.kbc.co.ke/story.asp?ID=65474
I'll probably modify the article to include a list of suggested prerequisites and change the heat equation to "diffusion equation", as that is less physically biased.

My real goal is for somebody with a background in mathematics (but no programming) to learn how to program FD, rather than just learn the theory. This is not really made clear by the current article and I will be adding an overview.

Thanks for the feedback though - I'd welcome any more, obviously I want the article(s) to be accessible to as many people as possible!

Although visited links are quite visible on HN, I sometimes end up clicking on articles I've already read; marking them as "hidden" avoids this (as hidden articles are non-clicable).

Articles can be "unhidden" ("show" link); hidden articles are remembered between sessions, for 7 days (since articles move rather rapidly on the front page there is little point in remembering the status longer -- should maybe be user-configurable though).

The "option[s]" page has just one option for now -- open links in new window.
I do use Gmail's labels but they are mostly for broader categories. If you have an email you'd like to reply to about, let's say, a payment system, you could tag it "follow up about paypal micro-payments". This would be labeled as "work" or "finace" etc. but if you're getting back to it a few days or weeks later, you could view your cloud for paypal or micro-payments.
I don't know if they'd ever be as beautiful as an iPhone, but on the other hand, they'd likely be able to make phone calls even if you did things like hold them in your hand. And, joking aside, I have a suspicion that Nokia does more in terms of design and testing to ensure that dropping the phone isn't going to wreck it. Probably more so on the lower end phones that are likely to be owned by teenagers, but my wife and I have had Nokia phones for a while, dropped them every now and then, and (fingers crossed) never had a problem.
Firstly, you can see Thesis in action. Go to http://diythemes.com/, then click the picture that says "Click here to see how you can design a Website with Thesis", and you'll get a video showing it in action. It basically adds a panel to your Wordpress Admin page that lets you control a lot of the design elements, namely number of columns, colors, fonts, etc.

Secondly, let me give the point of view of someone who uses Thesis.

I wanted to get my blog up and running. Obviously, I needed some kind of design, if even a basic one. I also wanted it to work as easily out-of-the-box as possible, since I wanted to concentrate on writing things and not mess around with learning Wordpress or Wordpress theme design (I have almost no experience there).

I saw (affiliate) links to Thesis on many sites that I admire, including descriptions of how good it is SEO-wise, and how much it's easy to use and customizable. For someone with no experience, it seemed like a good idea: I could install it, then use a nice web-based tool to customize the heck out of my design (which is what I did). If you watch the video, you can see that it lets you choose number of columns, size of columns, fonts, colors, and a lot more, all without going into any code. The few changes I did have to make in code were little snippets I found with very a simple Google Search, since Thesis is pretty popular.

If I have to get another Wordpress up, I'll definitely buy the package which gives you unlimited use of Thesis, since I already know it, and know that it will take me very little time to get a new blog working, and looking very nice with a very different design. All with likely an hour of work changing colors, fonts, etc. Obviously not a professional job, but definitely good enough to start with.

I'm very open to the possibility that Thesis doesn't help all that much. It's possible that with a few hours of work, I could learn enough about Wordpress and Wordpress theming to get to the same stage I'm at now with Thesis. But I don't know if that's true, and I don't know if I'll be missing important things (like SEO). So I was glad to pay to use Thesis (there's a lesson in what consumers are willing to pay for).

In any case, Thesis is a great case study in marketing!

Right now, the 400lb pound gorilla for all phone companies is Apple. Moving to Android is the best thing for Nokia to do because of the availability of applications, interests, etc. To build something to compete from the ground-up would be insane.

I have a tendency to agree with you. For viruses, the numbers don't add up. I couldn't find numbers for how many viruses/worms were written last year. In 2004 there were around 28000 written, so let's assume viruses are on the decline and say 8000 were written last year. With a 5% share, Apple should have anything up to 400 viruses. I am aware of none.

I think the reason for this is two fold, firstly, to write a viruses on the Mac, which by their nature need to spread, is harder due to the (*nix) security models used. But also, it seems to me viruses are getting passé and targeted emails with trojans are becoming more popular.

Trojans are one thing that Macs have been shown to be susceptible to although often by fooling (social engineering) the person into clicking all the right buttons and typing in their password.

I would therefore suggest that any future major problems on OS X will be due to a trojan that gets sent out and manages to auto install through an exploit rather than a virus which does the spreading on its own.

The challenge for Apple is being good enough, fast enough to make sure trojan attacks are relegated to social engineering and tainted pirate downloads.
But what does "VP" mean? These titles are distributed pretty liberally, do not have a consistent rank/role across employers, and tend to represent very different things between say the UK, US and Finland.
