I don't think the goading was that bad. The skinning has been a real issue for Android, and (having been in a similar situation) you can't ask questions like that once and move on to another topic, otherwise you'll just get the response the PR team crafted. You need to dance around a bit and hope something more interesting comes out.
Nah. Find a good book though, like The Joy of Clojure or Programming Clojure to get you through the fundamental bits.
Well, the point is - they are going to make TVs smart whether you like it or not.

The numbers and market research speak for themselves. You won't be able to even buy a TV that is not smart in five years. That's a fact. The TV manufacturers are saying it themselves. They are not stupid. They know they are going to be content power brokers in the future.

And with open SDKs and APIs, they are going to democratize the content industry and allow many more people to reach consumers directly outside the traditional value chain. It's inevitable.
WikiLeaks demands Google and Facebook unseal US subpoenas
That's actually a great idea, because I think suicide has a "good of the collective" component to it. If you get rejected by your peers too much, ostracized and made to feel like a burden, your mind comes to the counter intuitive conclusion that the best way to ensure survival of your tribe is to die. Transplanting to an environment where your knowledge, ability and assets make you the most valuable and looked-up to person in the community might reverse feelings of rejection, ostracism and burden. This guy sounds like he has been rejected and ostracized for everything he did.

I have that same problem as you. Since my personal monthly budget is very low I tend to keep track of my expenses closely. I still don't know how exactly I'm going to market my app but I'm leaning towards having a "personal" version without the stuff businesses need.

If you want, drop me a line at my-hn-username at gmail (or checkout rabbitpurchasing.com) and I'll let you know when my app is ready - you will be able to record and know that you spend X per month on beer.
That's interesting. That puts hard currency at about one half of November's $1.8tn M1 estimate. I've always assumed that currency represented a much larger portion of the M1.

I trust them to act as a rational, enlightened for-profit business? Just like all the other businesses and services I depend on?

Google is not a person; the word 'trust' misframes the debate about it. What you should be asking is whether their potential profit from maintaining their reputation will outweigh the profits from doing whatever it is you're afraid they'll do. And the answer, of course, depends.

The better upload option is for teachers to allow submissions in the Assignments tab.

Is there a way to quickly download all submissions for an assignment at once? So far, I've been stuck with going into each submission's sub-page and clicking the download link.

The grading page is horrible. …

Also, columns you tell it not to use in grade calculation may simply not appear anywhere.

I have not read any of the books, and watched very little Star Trek, to be honest. Maybe I should distinguish "literary science fiction" and "pop science fiction" (without making any value judgements, I thoroughly enjoyed Star Wars 4-6)? If you want to deal with Asimov specifically, I can speak to what I remember about the Foundation books, which dealt with the outcome of being able to accurately model/simulate/predict societies, to the point of setting events in motion so as to shape a society thousands of years out from now.

I consider that 'literary' science fiction, just as I do the earlier mentioned Cryptonomicon, even though there were no futuristic technologies in it.

No, I agree. Stacked vertically would have a much more dramatic visual effect, which is what I assume the author is going for. I remember when I was younger I saw a diagram of different types of computer storage stacked into piles. I think it might have been the number of floppies in a CD, then a DVD, but I can't really recall... anyway, it was impressive.
Right, but you chose to use it for your project.

It's a shame one of your developers is being nasty about it, but ultimately it's a problem you guys brought on yourself. If you hadn't put a license on your thing, your thing wouldn't have any license conflicts.

In other words, I suspect that next time you start an open source project, you'll pick a different license for it (or simply not use one).

Or perhaps the poster is being downvoted for the cruel and sloppy generalization, just like the one you just made. Exactly what does this contribute? Brilliant programmers are "presumed" to be rational; suicide is an irrational act; therefore... what?

"Physical trauma that occurred and ended 20 years ago is not the kind of thing a rational mind would choose suicide as a solution to."

Childhood sexual abuse is not the kind of thing that lends itself to a rational emotional state. If you read Bill's note, you'll observe that he recognized this fact, sought help, and obtained little. Maybe all he needed was someone like you to tell him to "get more rational".
Can you be more specific about the problem ?
Seriously old news: http://www.wpacracker.com/

Run by hacker Molly Marlinspike (thoughtcrime.org).
Sorry, I didn't phrase it well and that's definitely not what I was implying.

I should really isolate my statement to Christianity. Jesus spent time with prostitutes, thieves and the marginalized. He likely drank alcohol. He wasn't concerned with wealth (other than warning against it's trappings). And, ironically, the people he was least respectful to were the religious leaders of the time.

Contrast that with the descriptions of Mr. Zeller's father and you can (hopefully) see the point I'm trying to make. His type are the only people I criticize—not because they don't live up to a standard but because (just like the leaders in Jesus' time)they create unnecessary standards for the purpose of controlling people or satisfying their own pride.

I hope that explains it better. As a side, I appreciate your approach. Religion can be a hot topic and I generally avoid it on HN. When it does come up, it's nice to share views in a respectful manner.

Whilst I did not vote this down, I think that the whole smart/dumb thing is purely subjective. You may think its dumb to take your own life, but that is your own opinion, with no regard to the perspective of the person who it is actually happening to. I may think its dumb for a person to murder another innocent person, however I may also think its acceptable for a suffering cancer patient to take their own life. From the note that was left, it is clear he was suffering , and no matter how much help you "think" he would have gotten by taking another route, the fact is that he saw this as HIS way out. So why should we judge him by calling him dumb ( or at least not smart). You may have done things differently, but maybe you haven't felt the way he did either. Suicide is something that many people think can be avoided by other methods ie counseling, drugs ... but in reality some things you never "get over" or "solved", and denying them the right to take their own life is in my opinion paramount to torture.
There is a significant component of "in the right place at the right time" involved with anyone of any notability. But once the wave crest comes along, one has to be able to get standing on the board.
It's nitpicky, but you're using the word trust wrong here. I don't have to completely trust the people who signed your key, and I don't have to trust you at all. I have to trust the people that signed your key to have done the proper background checking. That's all. I could think your a vile, lying, cheater, but still know that when you send me that lying email, it is indeed you sending it.

I know exactly what you mean, and most of the time I catch myself thinking that it's on a weekend. Possible explanations:

1.) The people that post more technical stuff do so from work and don't use HN as much on weekends.

2.) Everyone is in "weekend mode" and wants to post more fun stuff.

3.) I am in "weekend mode" and my desire to click on fun stuff is biasing my impression of what is posted.
Apple's Mac Apps Store launched with more than 100 apps
Content creators can't vote with their feet - they're tied to using Apple's system.

This is not true. There are other marketplaces. They the Content Creators are the ones who decided the AppStore was a necessity and they are perfectly capable of changing that. In fact on HackerNews we have in the past seen Content Creators do exactly that. Choosing a different distribution mechanism or a different platform entirely for their Content.

Point 1 still stands but point 2 does not since it's too restrictive to be applied to the debate.
I am very disappointed with the browser demonstration.

Contrary to the video commentary, it didn't look smooth at all and the zoom was horrible compared to how it works on my HTC Desire and to on Apple devices.

It's a shame, because otherwise it looks like a tablet I would happily use.

I'm not sure what public debate you're referring to
Why did you change your original post, your typo seems to be exactly what these guys were talking about. The confusion between the naming is not good.

For those who are coming later, the OP of this thread had said W3C instead of w3schools.

Tell me the naming is not confusing...
Verizon Wireless and Verizon Communications (FIOS, landline, etc) are two very different entities. Most of the horror stories you (or at least _I_) hear are about Verizon Communications.

Verizon Wireless actually gives their CSRs a _lot_ of authority to take care the customer on the phone. While any company with the number of customer interactions that VZW has will generate some horror stories, on the whole, I think VZW is one of the better big companies out there when it comes to support.

Shrug, I asked Marc.
So is this what GPL developers consider a "win?" The GPL seems designed to create something for developers to fuss about. The net effect is pretty stupid compared to BSD/MIT/Apache. It's been long ago proved that the community deals fairly with contributions of any kind. The only difference then with GPL is that it locks out many legitimate uses (businesses) that might have otherwise been available. That's not "free," that's "restrictive," no matter how many times Stallman bangs his drum.

I am in education during the day and we write software for our campus using cutting edge tools and technology, but only for "non administrative" things.

It was decided well above my pay grade that grade checking, admissions, financial aid, registration, and online courses would use Oracle, PeopleSoft and Desire2Learn.

Your assessment is 100% accurate.
It's not ridiculous, but it's also not compatible with the principles of free markets that are in force in Canada and the USA at this time.

Apple is not a monopoly. It has a monopoly over those who choose to be its customers and those who choose to be its developers, but that is no different than saying that Levis has a monopoly over the black jeans that Steve Jobs wears.

Things become different when someone can show that Apple has a monopoly position over an entire market, or that Apple's product or service is an essential product or service.

For example, although there is plenty of competition amongst landlords for apartments, most jurisdictions have specific laws that limit the enforceable provisions of a lease.

At this moment in time, I don't personally see Apple enjoying a monopoly position in its market, not do I see video player applications as an essential good or service.
I'd heard that there are ways to circumvent the AppStore - but are these alternative AppStores economically viable?

A couple of questions;

1. Could an application developer make a living by selling their Apps via the alternative mechanisms - and would a regular (non-technical) user, be able to obtain these Apps without much effort?

2. Could Apple decide to 'outlaw' these alternatives if it chose to?

To be fair, I don't think he ever was that hungry for the trappings of wealth. He just wanted to accumulate. Based on my understanding of Buffett, his entire identity is so wrapped up in Berkshire that you have to assume he will be giving it 110% until the day he croaks.

That said, I wouldn't touch BRK. Size is the anchor now and there are very limited opportunities for BRK to grow at the same pace they've grown over the last 25 years.

Same situation for me, which is why I much prefer to use Twitter these days. It's considered downright rude to defriend someone on Facebook, but on Twitter, you really only have to pay attention to the people you care about. It feels a lot more "opt-in" than Facebook in this way.

Also, I really don't care about people's virtual mafia's and pictures where everyone is obscenely drunk.
That figure sounds insanely high. Can anyone confirm it?
But who would do that? The risk is too high. People with the right approach lack the money and lawyers to weather the storm. For example, I really doubt that you and I, working together, could get investors to back a project to rival BB because of the risk involved.

That's why I don't bother with my idea. Nobody would be dumb enough to fund it and I can't scrounge up the cash I'd need to fortify the defenses.
This same comment was made a few days ago and it was down voted.
> I never understood why you need an actual patent to defend yourself. Why doesn't just having prior art suffice?

Only having an actual patent gives you a weapon for a counterclaim. And it's a weapon only if the company suing you for infringement is itself infringing your patent.
My long-running objection to this kind of quicky journalism exactly. No detailed attribution, no drill-down availability, no footnotes. I developed facster.com to overcome these and other limitations, the goal being to provide research-quality stats from the government and other sources, make the information searchable, browseable, and joinable. I haven't had the time to do much work on it since 2005, so the most recent abstract I loaded is from 2003. Also in some migration the search index got damaged. A lot of search terms are missing, but I've boosted repairing the search index on my to do list.

One could also look at employee dissatisfaction as an advantage as well - if you're a company looking to hire lots of people and you can appear to keep people more satisfied than their old employers. High dissatisfaction should make finding interested candidates easier :)

I have AT&T/iPhone 3GS and live in SV and my service sucks.

It's hard to say what the problem was without seeing the actual definition of the tables and the output of EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

There are times where you may have to structure your view query slightly different than you would a standard query in order to get the planner to optimize things in the same way, particularly if the view is using subqueries.

Ultimately it is possible to have a view run just as fast a regular query, but you might (though not always) have to do a little bit of extra work with EXPLAIN ANALYZE to make sure things are working as you expect.
I've had a good look today and there's not much out there that's good. There's a few decent Mac apps (I'm Mac-based) but I'm looking for web-based as thats what I'd prefer. My situation here is that I earn decent money from my business, but my personal spend is not really recorded and the small amount of analysis that I've done has shocked me at the money I waste :)

In terms of marketing your app, maybe you could focus on how your app will let you focus a bit more. Just a thought
Except of course, GS aren't investing in Facebook. They're backing out their stake to other investors via this SPV they've set up. I doubt they care what happens to facebook stock: there's huge demand at this valuation and all they care about is answering that.

There was a question recently posted (by me - hope it's not a problem I'm bringing it up again):
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2011805

which gives a lot of insight into the issue.

I'm currently a student and my university uses BlackBoard. The software is simply awful. Every professor chooses a different ugly template for their own course, so there is no consistency. In my university, the more able professors have started making their own websites to put up lecture notes, tutorials and grades.

Even the new updates are just a skin of their poorly designed product. No new functionality is added(or even improved), but instead it's just a 'prettier version' of the older system. And the amounts they charge universities for such tools is crazy.

But as someone already mentioned, they have a monopoly in the education sector, and they make it really difficult for universities to switch to an alternative tool [1].

You twist the word "freedom" just like Stallman. The influence of the open source software movement has always been negligible. The net effect is that we lose all of the protesters' work (substantial), and the protesters don't change anything. The Apple App Store isn't going to change policy because you withheld "Wood & Stones," but some Go enthusiast is the worse.

It's like an autoworker who wants everybody to unionize, and so he organizes sit-ins, but instead of ever forming the union that one guy just sits around all the time not working, ticking everybody else off.
I always found the movie pretty boring, but it's based on a very good novel.
