I'm on the same page as you. I had the original iPhone up until I just bought the iPhone 4, and I never had a case on my old one. I just always keep my phone with my wallet in my left pocket, and keys, coins, etc. in my right pocket. Without a case it's thin enough. And with sharp things in the other pocket you don't scratch the phone up.

It also helps, of course, that one's reflexes suddenly become much sharper when one is carrying an expensive piece of hardware. I've made some incredible catches of that phone over the years.

There should be a name for this phenomenon - "the hand of Jobs" or "the reflexive property (of smartphones)", perhaps?

Yeah but they probably don't watch movies.
Personally I find that being comfortable in my location really helps. As in I can be one charming man when I am at home, or at this coffee shop I always visit - but less so in new places.

Another thing I've noticed is how much easier it is to talk to someone once you've seen them trip up somehow (like forgetting a word or dropping their phone), I guess it's to do with perceiving status relative to your own. And it's only a matter of time before that person who seems intimidating does something silly/humanizing, see if you can wait it out.

Also look out you don't make things worse while you try to make them better, jumping in too deep too fast and panicking can play havoc with your fight or flight response - don't accidentally condition yourself to run by packing up and leaving every time the bar gets crowded or something. Try riding it out instead (at least just once).

All of this comes from my experiences moving from highschool, where I had gotten into a rut, to university where I had to start over. And from talking to some family friends who work as counselors. As always take random internet advice like my own with a grain of salt.

Goodluck!
Another example you can cite is people using strcmp to compare digests. I believe this was found an fixed in Netscape and then later shows up again in other SSL libraries and even the Wii's signing a decade later.
IANAL, nor am I an expert in this area, but I'm also an international student and have been thinking about these kinds of things.

While still a student, options for working are pretty limited. You could apply for what USICE calls "Curricular Practical Training" (CPT) or "Optional Practical Training" (OPT) -- you can read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optional_Practical_Training or on the USICE website. Success of this route all depends on the approval of your Designated School Official and compliance with the details of the law.

Further complicating matters (even if you consider applying for an H-1B after you're done) is the issue of control of employment. Lawyers I've talked to suggest that the immigration officers look to see that you don't have control over your own employment. While this isn't a problem when you work for a big company, it's definitely a problem if you're a sole founder/self-employed. I guess if you take this literally, then you can legally own at most 50%-1 shares of the company you work for.

In the end, this is all about convincing your school officials and/or US immigration officers that you meet the letter and the spirit of the law. Sadly, good immigration lawyers are probably the best equipped to help you make the case for yourself. I agree that this isn't an ideal state of affairs, which has prompted efforts such as http://startupvisa.com/.

>For teacher-less teaching to work, you'd have to assume at least 9/10 students are self-motivated and are willing to do work without someone breathing down their back and, really, it's not going to happen.

Do you have any thoughts about why 90% of kids (by your statement, if I read it right) aren't able to motivate themselves to even behave in class never mind push themselves?

To my mind this is a shortfall of the welfare system. I'd have no problem with cutting child focussed family allowances if a child is constantly absent, bullies, is persistently disruptive or is violent or abusive in school (without a doctors note pre-warning teachers of a mental condition, say).

This needs a correspondingly strict youth offending policy and willingness to allow prisons to get very full in the short term in case there is a corresponding upturn in crime rates as unruly elements of society adjust to having less money because of their unsocial actions.

I'd also cut compulsory education back to about 14years and offer more practical courses in place.
This resonates a lot with the startup we're doing. Some sentences even look like taken from our pitch. Very encouraging to see one more proof of demand :) Thanks.
Sure. Prior to the Celiac possibility, I did not eat that well. Lots of prepared (Healthy Choice/Lean Cuisine) frozen meals. Not exactly fast-food, but certainly not cooking.

I weigh about 155 at the moment, which is down from 180 a year ago, thanks partially to Weight Watchers, and partially to the gluten-free diet. I'm small, so an ideal weight for me is probably around 135/140.

Now that I am (temporarily, at least) gluten-free, I'm eating more healthily than I ever have in my life. Lean meats/fish and fresh veggies just about every meal. Some rice and potatoes here and there. My snacks are small amounts of fruits and nuts. I do allow myself some ice cream (after carefully scanning the labels for gluten).

Currently I walk about 3 miles more or less daily. In the past I went through various phases where I ran 3-4 miles daily (often twice daily). However physical exertion really makes me feel worse sometimes, so it's very hard to stick with it. It's not the "good" pain that comes with solid exercise (I'm familiar with that). It's more like my head feeling like it's going to explode, feeling incredibly dizzy and being totally useless the rest of the day.
Put yourself though a socializing boot camp. Go out and force yourself into awkward and uncomfortable social situations. Put a couple hours a day into practicing conversation skills. Try to get strangers to be genuinely interested in you.

While you are doing this, be aware of the type of self-talk that you engage in and be sure to keep yourself pumped up with positive feelings. Smile and assure yourself of your desirability and confidence.

Practice, practice, practice, and don't make any excuses.

Stock exchange data is closed? I find that rather strange.
Why can't they leave the Blackberry and all the other mobile phones out of the game?
Nah, if you read the ars technica report on it, the perception explanation does turn out to be reasonable due to the way the "reception bars" graph works. Besides that, it explains that despite the fact that the phone suffers greater attenuation than most others, it still actually performs well due to higher sensitivity.

Not necessarily. The deal is that Giz coughs up all related documentation; if the DA is satisfied Chen gets his stuff back and both avoid a complex and uncertain court battle over an ambiguously drafted law. Re. the transaction in question, I guess a plea and a nominal fine. (IANAL)
I'm not a cider fan (and I've lived in Normandy, where they have the good stuff!) I've heard from a Belgian-beer aficionado friend that there are good rice beers, but haven't tried any yet. Beer is refreshing in the summer, but I'm also happy with a nice whiskey, which thankfully is Celiac-OK.

Pizza is the harder thing for me to give up. I've tried a gluten-free pizza recipe a couple of times, and the result wasn't very good. Willing to keep trying though.

Why doesn't government step in and quantise trading terms to be a whole day (or similar time)? It seems wrong to me that with potentially equal performance two traders can get different returns based on the microsecond difference in their latency between their server and the exchanges central server.

Does anyone still by the whole line about exchanges being their to create fluidity in the market.

It all seems a big scam, the more I learn about it the less I feel the highest returns go to those who perform the greatest scams fleecing off value created elsewhere (manufacturing, services, ..).

What are some good alternative careers not in technology? 
I have been a HN member for a while, this is a throwaway, for privacy.

I had always loved computers/technology, ever since I was a kid. I stuck with it in HS and studied CS in University. I graduated and realized I had become a neo-luddite. I actually hate computers and technology, they have pretty quickly lost their glow and now seem overly boring with all of this web stuff. Yeah the Internet is nice, but I couldn't care less about web 2.0. Some text on a page is good enough for me.

Anyway, Ive gotten to a point where I actually hate computers, but its all I really know. Il start a programming project and Il fall asleep, Il read tech news and my eyes will start to tear as if I was fight to not sleep.

I need a job, as I have responsibilities, but really don't want to work with computers. If I could shoot back 4-5 years Id surly not study CS and instead do another engineering or become a Pharmacist and if not that then a nurse.

So what are some good alternative careers? I cant really do Physical labor because of my back. Thank you all.
You understood well.
Simple is not short. A very short explanation could be given in formal mathematics but it would not be simple.
Shift coverage for very small businesses: employee won't be in to work, sends SMS or email to site that then sends out a notification to all other employees to see if anyone wants to cover his shift. I've seen this for large chains, but nothing for smaller businesses and I know they have problems with people not showing up. My wife used to manage a bar and she thought it was a waste of time, but I think it can be sold.

Easy online scheduling for plumbers, etc. Prospect emails/requests a visit from site. Message sent to plumber's phone if he's in the area. He can refuse the appointment or call the customer with an ETA. Selling point: on the go scheduling without a receptionist.

Estimation software for carpet cleaners. Enter size, furniture, materials, etc. And it calculates time & materials. You need domain knowledge, but there is a ton of available material online about carpet cleaning. It is also one of the fastest growing and most profitable janitorial services.

Just a few off the top of my head.

Technically speaking, how would an OS avoid that issue, without breaking compatibility (unless that is acceptable)?

Nice. Good job guys.

Interesting. They don't include a free/freemium account, only paid ones with a free trial. I have been wondering about this.

I've always assumed the best business model is to offer a free plan for everyone that is not limited to time but with fewer features or some other limit/constraint like number of users, amount of storage etc.

I wonder how the two models compare. Because I know a lot of people simply will not sign up for anything, even if there is a free trial. People just want something free they can start using and that they don't run into walls - a la Google Docs, Gmail, Basecamp free account, etc...

Any thoughts?
Correct. Unlocking the bootloader trips a hardware flag that says "This bootloader has been unlocked", which voids the warranty. To date, nobody has been able to figure out how to un-trip that flag, though there was a brief window in which you could hack a custom ROM onto the device without unlocking it, but that was patched out with FRF91.

Personally, I think that's pretty reasonable, since third-party firmwares could potentially do things to the hardware that'd cause damage, and it's silly for hardware makers to promise to fix things caused by user negligence.
No, it's an incredibly ridiculous word to use. It's insane anybody here takes the idea seriously. Use Occam's Razor much?
it also runs into the problem that the page claims all nouns are non gendered, but there's no non gendered pronoun to refer to them with.

there's all sorts of different kinds of reading.

it's not even particularly challenging to scan text at 100-150 pages per hour. That's about 30s per page, you can do an awful lot in 30s if you set your mind to it.

I filter things in stages if we're talking about articles/posts. I'll glance at a rate of something like 10s/page first, sorting out sets of documents that may be interesting.

Next up, look a little longer, filter out crap, get the basic idea and then determine what needs to be read for deep content.

Once you are reading for deep content or enjoyment, it's totally dependent on the material.

I was one of the original Apple customers (well my dad was, I just got access to it). we had an Apple II then a II+. Learned BASIC then 6502 Assembly. I remember one of the first times I took off the case lid and saw the guts of it, trying to figure out what all the different chips and doodads did. Good times.
I love PagerDuty, and it has already paid for itself many times over. The fact that it will phone my house if I miss the text messages has been a big win over AT&T's lousy coverage in my area.

Main Question What uptime guarantees do you guys make? I saw on your answer on your FAQ but if I was selling this to the powers that be I don't know if your answer would cut it.

Couple of other questions for the team:

A Zabbix plugin forthcoming? Do you have to respond to alerts in your interface or can our monitoring software let pagerduty know the alert has been handled?

Though we already have a lot of the functionality you provide through a few custom scripts we don't have the scheduling of engineers which I've been meaning to write for a while (but doing it manually with a small team wasn't enough of an issue). So certainly a service I would consider using, if not on this project, my next one.
Yeah, I'm reading it and thinking, "Man, I really don't understand how Kickstarter works."
Nice! DO you have a link to the API details?
When you say "All of your business cards can go to either..." is that what you mean or do you mean "Each of your business cards can go to either..."?

I imagine there's a subset of each that should be moved from one to the other.

Also - with you mapping my social/business network as I create it I'd be concerned about your intended uses of the data you collect. Certainly you could have your own LinkedIn/Facebook style connection graph built pretty quickly. Then what?
Now, hold on a sec -- people refer to me without an article, and I consider myself quite firmly grounded in physical reality. The point being, they're looking to talk about these devices on a personal level... the way you talk about some_one_ in your life. This is likely just as distasteful as the scenario you describe, but I think it is more accurate.

I wonder if Apple is repeating history and for the sole sake of focusing on profits over market share. There was a huge pent up demand for iPhone on other US carriers that Apple never and has not filled. Such has opened the door for the success and continued success of Android. I see so many people using Android phones now and so many people bashing iPhone. These same people had Apple fulfilled their demand most of them would not be on the Android bandwagon, which currently the Droid X is getting a ton of buzz and promoted as a just as good alternative to iPhone.

For me I prefer the iPhone, but it's not as cool as it use to be. This further hurts it's luster and cool factor!

The linked PDF is interesting: http://media.oregonlive.com/siliconforest/other/think_brilli...

Rainn Wilson partners with a web design firm to develop SoulPancake in exchange for monthly payments and the verbal promise of equity at some later point. Two years pass. Monthly payments were made, but in the end negotiations fall through while negotiating equity agreement and Rainn kills the development service relationship. So no more work and no more monthly payments. Things get nasty, and Rainn sends a nastygram to the staff at Think Brilliant accusing them of fraud.

The "hacking" end of the complaint makes little sense, with proprietary source code being extracted from a "database". Trying to parse the wording, it sounds like they downloaded stuff they shouldn't have while trying to migrate the site from Think Brilliant servers. The "database" may be referring to an SVN repository.

I wouldn't have thought you could make a stand in court on a verbal agreement. I'm curious as to how the Quantum Meruit claim will pan out given a history of compensated work, and how promises of equity fit in.
Thanks Danielle! Twilio plays a big role here at PagerDuty. You guys have been great. More importantly, on the few occasions where's there's been service hiccups, we've never had problems getting hold of someone at Twilio. Can't say the same about other providers we've tried.
Interesting. Why did you make the switch? I'd love to hear details about that.

My thinking is that if more people are using the service, that also doubles as an advertisement if the users tell some of their friends, recommend to coworkers etc.
