If any time you were hacked, you fired the previous network security engineer and hired the guy who just broke in, you'd have a network unusuable by legitimate users and still probably vulnerable to skilled attackers.
You're confusing a strategy (i.e. provide a way for developers to make apps within Apple's rules) to a tactic (i.e. only make web apps, not native apps). It's worth noting that Gruber would later defend Apple's decision to initially offer only web app development because, according to Gruber, obviously the tools for native apps were just not ready and the AppStore was still in development.

By Gruber's own admission, he wants Apple to succeed. Everything else is secondary.
I'd really love a feature where people could submit exercise solutions for books that don't include them. I find exercises a lot more useful if I have a solution to compare against.
you have a really good domain...unfortunately it's not really all that applicable for your actual product, and will just lead to confusion
Curious as to how others deploy .Net software?

We have a pretty streamlined process all the way up to 'put files on production server' which we do by hand. There's too many 'gotchas' with Windows/our environment that I don't feel comfortable using Nant (like we do everywhere up until the final production file push).

Instead of taking this issue on... We're moving to Mono on Linux (well, more correctly we're evaluating moving to Mono) which is worlds nicer for scripting and automating.
Hey - I understand what you mean, really. I really want to work on this specific page, and I'm actually frustrated to have released it this way :)

Here's what's planned:

- instead of cutting the book description like it's done currently, you'll be able to expand with a click

- I'll do the same on books and quotes, because hundreds of books are not useful in the "suggested books list", definitely

- and I want to focus more on getting the actual quotes to the front (eg: allow to read the actual quotes by HNers etc) because I feel it brings significant usefulness

I'm mixed on the Amazon ratings, both because recent API changes made it unpractical to really use the content (it's now an iframe that must be used as is, and refreshed every 24 hours), and because sometimes the reviews are fake as well.

So I'll try to bring more value by letting users know what people think on HN and SO.

Would these points make the site more useful to you ?
No, it's not. There is extremely little to suggest that it uses quantum effects for computation.
This is exactly what incorporations were initially built for.

5 local businessmen want to build a ferry across the river. Nobody can afford it, or the risk. They all think it will benefit their community, their businesses, and maybe bring in a few bucks.

So they buy "shares", sharing the costs and the benefits.

I'd consider putting some cash towards a Whedon-backed production company, and then buy the DVD (though being an Aussie, I'm not sure if I can buy US shares). He might gain or lose money, I don't really care - it would be worth the risk just to see what he does.
I spent a bit of time on that, I must admit :)

In the end I paid 90$ for 3 years, which is OK I guess.
This image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crankyflier/4929727281/ shows a tooltip that describes it as "A combination of price, duration, and number of stops" which sounds about right for a flight's agony-factor.
My experience has been that if you don't have insurance, the hospital will cut a big chunk out of your bill immediately. Their "negotiated rates" are all just made up things they put on the insurance bill because insurers can pay a lot of money. The insurer calls and says "Hello, I would like a discount". And the guy says "Ah, yes, our standard rate is cash rate + $1000, but for you, I'll take off $500".

For instance, a podiatrist I know charges $350 to the insurance company (which shows this as the discounted, negotiated rate) but $150 cash to remove an ingrown toenail.

I'm sure there are exceptions.
Initial thoughts about ParStream, by joeharris76
One of the addition things that needs to be mentioned akin to the bottom line is that the OtherOS feature was used to convince the EU that the system was a "Computer" not a "Gaming Console" which gave them significant cost reductions on import tariffs and taxes.

The removal of this feature aftermarket amounts to a shill game.
Yes most definitely, strace / truss have been absolute life savers. And if you are looking for something similar on Windows Process Monitor is excellent. You can also do a lot of DTrace style stuff with WMI and VBScript.
It will depend on the type of service and we will announce this soon. For now, I can say that it will be very reasonable.

Contrast this with iOS which provides the robust and featureful CoreAudio api. As far as I can tell there doesn't appear to be anything like the new Accelerate framework introduced in iOS 4 for Android either, so things like native FFT aren't available.
As quite a few have asked via the comment form: it's a nginx + passenger + ruby 1.9.2 stack, with solr for indexing, mongodb for data back-end, rails fragment caching in redis, and a warmup script to fill the caches.
You're splitting hairs. Or rather, drawing arbitrary lines in the sand. And how could anyone in their right mind not defend Apple's choice to at the time not offer tools that didn't exist then? That doesn't make you biased, it makes you reasonable.

He has also admitted that he wants Google and Android to succeed. That doesn't mean he agrees with all their strategies, no matter how selectively you want to define "strategy".
1500s, surely—James I was crowned in 1603, thus inaugurating the Stuart period. If one wanted to be especially fussy, one might identify the Tudor period as starting in 1485 (when Henry VII was crowned King of England following his victory at Bosworth, and the end of the Wars of the Roses—incidentally, the last to win his throne on the field of battle) and finishing in 1558 with the ascension of Elizabeth I, her reign of 1558-1603 being known as the Elizabethan era.
I think posts like this mostly just encourage people to use the command line to feel "old-school", not because it works.

Kernighan and Pike's The Practice of Programming covers similar material very well.

And yes, I was a bit overly critical. I'm annoyed by that style of article, not that specific one, sorry.

? I didn't say anything about mail-archive. I mentioned the official Apache archives (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/)

The value of markmail, for me, is you can search. I'm not bashing the Apache archives, but they are not searchable as far as I know.

He'd better make sure that his university accepts that as an internship first, or he might be unable to move on without the mandatory "traditional internship".

Depending on the university (Are they looking for tech experience? Experience "on a job"? Are they progressive thinking or conservative?) they might or might not accept that working on ~something~ during summer fulfills their requirement.

Except for that I totally agree with the advice.

The Medicare system in Australia works in a sort of similar way to how you describe Japan. The government publishes a list of fees for every possible procedure and treatment. The medical service provider can "bulk bill" where they collect the money directly from the government, and the patient never hands over any money. Alternatively, the provider can charge whatever they want (because they're a noted doctor, or their office is in an expensive location, etc.), and the patient can then claim the set amount back from Medicare.

Bulk billing is so much more convenient for everyone that you'll see signs advertising it on the outside of doctors surgeries, thus the cost of care is kept down. On the other hand, the doctors are free to charge what they want. Sounds like a fair way to do it.
Just went out and wrote a simple interpreter in 65 lines of Ruby. It's pretty slow but seems to be correct.

One thing you didn't mention is that the cells are supposed to be bytes, and thus increment and decrement need to be modulo 256. That may not be part of the actual definition but the sample programs I found all relied on it.

I also found it pretty funny that "apt-cache search brainfuck" returns a total of 3 interpreters in the Debian archive.

It doesn't help the ecosystem when you're circumventing the normal fees and rules, or using non-Apple technology. Pay your dues, don't cause trouble and you too can benefit from the AppStore.
Worth mentioning that the intent of brainfuck was to create a language with the smallest possible compiler.

Wikipedia claims [1] that most brainfuck compilers are < 200 bytes.

Nice product well excecuted. I personally thought the demo was just fine - didn't seem to take too long to understand what was going on. A nice additional feature would be to allow people to type in a question while being shown through a guided tour.
Zero, obviously. People either let them lapse where possible, declare bankruptcy to get Constables off their backs, or spend years paying $50-$100/mo.

Things like this happen even to insured people. Due to a communications snafu between the doctor and the insurance company, my mom, who has "good" insurance from BigCo, is paying for her annual mammogram $50/mo now, and will be doing this for the better part of two years.

My parents paid on an ER visit I made in my late teens until I was 21 or 22 because of another such insurance oversight.

These happen all the time because that's how insurers make money. The insurance model is based explicitly on not paying out. For something that's universally utilized like health insurance, that generally means you have to deny a lot of claims to keep acceptable margins.

Homeowner's insurance works fine because most people aren't burglarized often and most peoples' homes don't burn down, so people make modest monthly payments and one claim in a lifetime more than pays for itself. Likewise, car insurance is not used too often by its patrons.

Health insurance, however, is used (at least) several times a year by almost every individual. As such, insurance is a terrible model for health care, since the entire concept behind insurance is that more people are paying for the coverage than are using it. The continued feasibility of medical insurance depends on people not getting medicine.
What a beautiful concept. Support? Sure, I guess, but... I want my sales page to run like that! How soon can I get in?
Singapore - arguably the most efficient healthcare system in the world. Tim Harford talks about it in his excellent book "The Undercover Economist" (worth commenting that he's not rampantly free market - he spends time putting the boot into the US system too as well as praising the UK's NHS).

Basically everyone has to maintain a fund (the government pay into it for the poorest) for healthcare. This is what they spend when they have healthcare needs.

Because the people are making the purchasing decisions themselves (as opposed to the insurance company doing it) they have a far stronger incentive to demand value and to be informed, and you get genuine competition between providers (as if you don't like them this time you'll go elsewhere next time with no insurance company mandating who you can see).

The government then picks up the few areas that aren't well catered for by this system.

I think it costs about 40% of what the US system costs (possibly even less) and Singapore has a typical life expectancy of 80.

That could be a powerful offering if Amazon can boost the library a bit. $89 per year for Amazon Prime with 2 day shipping and streaming is a few bucks cheaper than a year of Netflix streaming only (7.99*12=95.88) and potentially much more valuable.

For someone who shops at Amazon a lot, only uses streaming a little and doesn't have a DVD add-on, this could be huge.

Although, when MP3s arrived at Amazon most people stuck with iTunes. Netflix might have enough brand recognition to prevent more than a handful from switching unless Amazon launches a serious campaign.

Edit: The other nifty part is Amazon offers video on demand for free with some DVD/Blu-ray purchases. Sending those along speedily plus instant watch also helps people choose Amazon over the local Target, Best Buy etc.
I don't have an iphone, so forgive me, but how does a tooltip work on the iphone?
Don't be upset you didn't get an exclusive.
Apple does not appear to take an interest in third party developers prospering beyond the PR value of "featured apps" and similar PR - they do not view app purchasers as the developer's customers - they assume that all customer's first brand loyalty is Apple above all. In the case of the Kindle app, Apple's attitude is that nobody buys the iPad as an ebook reader selecting it over competing readers - they are pretending that iPad ownership is a necessary condition for an interest in ebooks among iPad owners.

Predictability is the bread and butter of B2B relationships, and Apple doesn't get it. Instead Apple treats developers as consumers rather than partners - changing terms to the developer agreement as if they were a specsheet for a piece of consumer electronics.
I personally think that apple's behaviour sucks; I just argued that they don't have any obligation to put whatever third-party apps they don't like.
Also, ostensible insurance coverage gets you through the door and the treatment needed without taking all of your money. Cash patients often have to pay large chunks up-front.

As a person in a fluctuating employment situation with a pregnant wife, I know that cash OB/GYN pregnancy treatment programs cost $400-$500/mo, because they want you to prepay on the baby's delivery, as they don't trust cash patients to pay a $12,000 bill after the baby is born. If you have insurance, at the two ob/gyns we've been to, you don't even have to pay office copays and they bill it all after the delivery. The individual is usually billed $2000-$4000 after deductible and after the insurance pays its portion (generally 80%).

So, even if your insurer denies your claim, for some people the only practical way to get access to medicine is to have an insurer. Certain doctors (namely doctors with whom you will have a short-term ongoing relationship, like your infant's pediatrician or your OB/GYN) will totally shun you if you don't have insurance. I guess this is because most cash patients determine they've paid enough after they pay a pediatrician or gynecologist several thousand dollars.
Yes, I nearly put that in, but it didn't feel right. I've only given a very basic introduction to the language - the purpose of the blog was to teach the language rather than give its history.

Not quite - "Several brainfuck compilers have been made smaller than 200 bytes." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
So... are they anticipated to follow this up with the other half of the Netflix-style service? You know, renting movies that people actually want to watch.

How wrong you are.

No man is an island. Neither you, nor anything you create is created in isolation.

Dependencies are ever-present and failing to understand this leads to failed ideas such as "true free market" not unlike the idea of "true communism".

In reality the very fact that you are alive to write your words is a testament of other peoples effort including your parents to guard you against the many many dangers in this world.

Ultimately you don't own the right to anything, not even yourself.

It's an agreed upon right not a natural law.

I agree that there are some times too many regulations. But claiming what you do here is simply wrong in a very unfortunate Ayn Rand way.
Very true, but let's not belittle their innovations due to the problems that came with them. All new technologies will introduce unintended consequences in spite of the efforts of the inventors and innovators to provide something good. Cars were lauded as a clean invention because it stopped horses from leaving their crap on the roads. Nobody realized that air quality would suffer. All technologies and innovations will have unintended consequences that come out of left field and nobody would have predicted. Who at the early stages seriously thought that they'd cause people to have email overload and issues with spam from the invention of email? They were creating a new communication tool, like the phone, but in many ways more flexible and better.
I'm not saying that 1848 wasn't significant, merely that it wasn't decisive in a local sense. The old order did not really recover, and the changes ultimately percolated to the surface. Changes in today's world might/will not be so slow.
Tooltips are not typically seen in iPhone apps. The screenshot was from the hipmunk web application.

Perhaps hipmunk assumes that anyone using their iPhone app is already familiar with the web app and shouldn't be treated as a novice user. Or perhaps they have so much confidence that their agony ranking is what you want that they don't feel compelled to explain it. ;)

> I don't believe any of the "I paid for it so it's mine" arguments out there really pass muster until you also create your own (not jailbroken) software stack.

If I understand correctly, you argue that users don't "own" the device because Apple sells it as a whole stack or because they write the iOS and license it to users. My point is that even with licensed OS users should be free to do whatever they want on the device. When I buy an iPhone, the iOS is already installed so I assume I have also bought the right to use it (like Mac OS?). It doesn't matter whether the OS that comes with the device is written by the hardware manufacturer or not; hence the Microsoft analogy and that's why i disagree with you.

Now when it comes to the subject of App Store, someone has pointed out correctly that App Store is a distribution channel and Windows or iOS is an operating system. It was not my comparison. Here I do agree that Apple has every right to charge developers for any amount they want, or the right to deny any app they don't see fit in the App Store. However Apple don't allow any other channels on their system. That is still in their right to do so, but it will raise some issues when the iPhone/iPod Touch reaches a certain market share.

That would be a horrible business decision, in my opinion. "Under the table" deal is just another way of saying "violating the agreement I signed". Two wrongs don't make a right, etc, etc. But more importantly, operating in the background would just enable Apple. Cutting Apple out of the revenue won't really hurt them, but it will increase dependence on their platform, which gives them more leverage.

Under the table deals would be extremely short sighted and dishonest.
