Now if only the rulings of the District Court in the Central District of Illinois applied to US federal law. (I'm not a lawyer, and I have no idea how things like that work.) Regardless, I've come to expect such little consistency from the law.
The biggest problem is the inability to authorize a domain for sending mail. This is something they've been interested in adding for a while now, but have yet to do so.

If you plan on sending emails using a dynamic FROM field (like support-123434@domain.com) and then parsing replies, then you'll likely have to use something else.

Buyers should note these are cheap because they're going to be tracking your every move. Every site you visit and everything you type will be logged using the autocomplete function as it already is within Chrome.
apple the asshole. Even if you make licence agreement with them they will change it in the middle. May be you mean irrevocable terms.
That's actually a pretty cool idea and one that I think would work just fine.
This is false.

You just have to figure out how to lower the stress in your job.

Its A mix of
1. giving realistic estimates - this requires you to push back like crazy. Realize that not pushing back will decrease the quality of life for you and your family and you'll take this seriously.

2.having a great relationship with your business guy - ie communicating bugs and release lapses early and following through on what u said you would do.

3. using awesome open source tools. Tools like redis, python etc can save you huge amounts of dev time. This is really the key thing as its in your control. You might have to lobby a bit but using open source tools is no longer a anathema.

Most of the productivity tips seem to be another way of describing David Allen's 'Getting things done'. Some times the described method is either close, a little different or some times badly.

The whole idea revolves around a few things. First being goal, goal itself can be divided to lifetime, half life, 10 year, yearly, monthly all the way granular to daily goals. In order to achieve the goal you need planning, hence you make To-do lists or others forms of tracking mechanisms with deadlines. Once this is done, the working on the list seems to be a matter of two things discipline and tracking. Tracking implies some sort of measurement. And then finally reviewing and course correction.Doing this in the intervals of your goal periods. And there is always that 'next step' that David Allen describes in his book.

That is all there is to productivity, the crux is to get organized. If you do this simple stuff you can solve and manage most of the stuff that is out there to manage.
It's technically correct, but governments are going to have a big problem with this. It's going to make it pretty hard for them to sell enterprise solutions. Just sayin'.

This plugin still works if a company has deployed IE9 and Group Policy compatible builds of Firefox or whatever else. It's a Google-endorsed way around group policy.

2.having a great relationship with your business guy - ie communicating bugs and release lapses early and following through on what u said you would do. Why is this imp? Because by creating a successful project - stress goes to 0. And you can cost for the next 6 months if u wanted to.

rimantas: That is not wikileaks fault, but the traditional medias. Did you know that Obama was waging war in Yemen? Wikileaks contains proof of this. Where is the media? Surely knowing about a secret war that we didn't know about before gives the world the capacity to act towards a more peaceful world.
So let's say that the hit rate for follow-on investments for a TechStars company is somewhere close to 70% (that's fairly accurate). That doesn't necessarily represent success, but it's a start. Y Combinator is probably better than that. Now let's say that a "lesser" accelerator's hit rate is maybe half that. Still a 35% chance of some measure of success. Now maybe there's a 10% chance by going the pure bootstrap route, maybe less. So taking the money--and the guidance--in whatever form, makes you maybe three times more likely to be able to do what you love for a fairly extended period of time. Not to mention the fact that oftentimes the accelerator provides free or discounted services for being a cohort company. Good legal for a deep discount, legal office hours, design consults, dinners with VCs, etc.

I can't speak for what Oxygen is doing, or whether they're providing these services or not. But many accelerators that aren't called Y Combinator or TechStars are, and though there won't be as many successes to come out of those, there no doubt will be some. There may even be one or two who attend, learn a bit, fail, and then come back to apply at one of the big dogs later down the road.
The argument that de-duplication is legal I think is that the fact that the user uploaded the music proves he legally has the right to it, and if the user don't, the liability rests on the user.
Where the hell do people pay 1000 dollars for a certificate? There are comodo resellers for ten bucks a year.

Granted they should be forced to deliver basic certificates for free as a condition for having their root certificate included in browsers in the first place, but until that happens this is still pretty close.
The other shoe drops:

"Last week, when the Department of Homeland Security leaned on Mozilla to remove a Firefox add-on making it simple to bypass domain name seizures, we wondered at the request. After all, the add-on only made it easier to do a simple Google search, and we wondered "what the next logical step in this progression will be: requiring search engines to stop returning results for seized domain names?" Turns out that's exactly what's being contemplated."
I anticipate a lot of luddite rage and probably a good number of accidents (and maybe even a few deaths), but we're not going to get to The Future by just wishing it so.
That would be remarkable given that the Nobel prize is awarded by Sweden he is also facing extradition to Sweden.
I have thought of driverless buses for a while now. These may be even better than driverless cars because buses always follow a defined route.

Funny, I'm friends with a Taiwanese-Canadian first generation that grew up in Vancouver. He starting off working for the man straight out of college and now leads a team just after a year. I don't know about passion but he's well off in terms of rising the ranks.

What you seem to be talking about is passion, and finding your passion is a lot harder with a typical Asian upbringing. I'll agree to that. However, it's how our education system works. As a kid, most only know to go to a good school to secure a job. It's even what the movies teach you. I guess my main point is, for me, my work is my passion and I love what I do (make social games and side projects). My question for you is, are you saying you really have no hobbies and/or passions?

I haven't read the judgment but I would think that the judgment can act as a precedence unless there is a rider associated with it. This probably probably has nothing to do with Federal/State law. The courts are generally very specific about consistency in different judgments.

IANAL but just finished a course on cyberlaw and I remember something about little knowledge and things that are dangerous.

Sonar quality platform - Using profiles
Each Sonar profile defines a collection of rules - checks. The configuration of this profile can dramatically alter the final metrics so it would be better to stick with a profile for the entire lifecycle of a project in order for the metrics to be always relevant.
When you decide to develop for a platform, you are dependent on the platform provider's goodwill if they are not open source.

Why would anyone who has paid any attention to Apple, depend on their goodwill?
Agreed. I expected not to be blown away, but wow was it horrid.
Telstra scores 1-click patent win over Amazon
It's my impression that people who command a 6-figure salary generally don't need help finding work. Reading this reminds me of the "work from home" infomercials they show at night. "For an nominal fee, we'll help you make $5-$10K/month!" And it seems like those infomercials, the only people making money are the ones who own the company.
It's too soon to say how well this will do but if it's exactly like the Cr-48 it may have difficulty doing well. There needs to be SOME hardware functionality like being able to use a USB or something. Else, it would just be an iPad with a keyboard. Which doesn't sound so bad but it's no laptop replacement.

Mortgage Broker
Mortgage broker is an intermediate person who mortgage loans on behalf of people and businesses.
Normally banks and majority of lending companies sell their various products. But with the passage of time mortgage markets are becoming more competent places, so the role of mortgage broker is getting more demanding day by day. Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia, etc are known as most advance mortgage markets of product lenders. In Pakistan sweet homes company is working on this concept implementation and trying to promote it in a form of ready property in capital city Islamabad. The broker helps you in finding a bank or a direct lender with a specific loan that you are looking for. The mortgage brokers take applications from from you and seek rates and terms with loan lending companies , banks etc. The broker is paid by the lender usually in the above mentioned countries.

This is great!

Though i'd contest the assertion that it uses my 'favourite graphics editor', my 'graphics editor' would be more appropriate ;)
The question isn't whether you want static types while running or debugging (or testing). The question is whether you want static types while developing.
It isn't a modern phone, but I remember my Nokia 2600 (not Classic) doing that.
>Static typing is far better than dynamic typing. There is nothing you can express in a dynamically typed language which you cannot express in a statically typed language, and most of those things can be expressed just as succinctly thanks to type inference. Further, to use your own words, static typing provides debugging "at compile time or link time, not at runtime."

Most things require little change but when you need to add a method to a class, static typing starts to get in the way. Node.js express framework could not have been made in a static language nor could rails find_by_* method system.
Add to that, that with the AMD C30 a student can download pirated university books(and not only books) and save tons of money.

My feeling is that the device will be offered for free/mandatory in some universities in order to try to reduce book piracy and make money for the uni.or at least some universities will try this. This also ties well with google books.
So will this include a decent data plan? That would be real news.
http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3166 # What Are The Resolved Debates in General Purpose Language Design?

There's not a lot that's not debatable.
C is probably the most firmly entrenched programming language that ever existed, and it's not going away in the near future. One big factor here is the fact that all major operating systems are written in (and have core libraries to support) C. I think in order to "replace C", you'd have to develop an OS in the other language, and that OS would have to gain widespread adoption.
It is joke. When there is bad news, some people make light. It helps them cope with reality.
I would be much more worried about my emails than GPS data.

Mostly a pet peeve, I guess. The subject should describe what the message is about, the body is the message. After opening the message, I automatically look down to read or skim the body. When there's nothing there, it annoys me to no end.

Worst case… at least repeat the subject in the body. Also it annoys me to no end when messages aren't formulated in correct english. (Text-speak is a big no-no.)

Google I/O for Developers: New App Engine, Go Runtime & Eclipse Plugin
I live within walking distance of downtown Palo Alto and really enjoy it. It's cheaper than San Francisco in most instances and you still have a high concentration of startup people. You can't go more than a few blocks without seeing a YC-er.

Of course, you don't have the massive social scene of San Francisco, but you're a quick ~30 minute CalTrain ride away.
Because you might pay more to get or rent your own copy of the movie?

That's the primary logic behind BMI's stance.
Really? Systems programming with a garbage collected language? I'm sure the kernel developers will love that.
Nine Inch Nails did that with Ghosts, they provided editable multitrack recordings, and essentially gave it away for free, inviting anyone to edit and remix.
Yes, much more impressive than that.

Recreating old Flash demos from 2004 in HTML 5 Canvas is nothing special. If you got drawCircle() and setBrush() in your framework, it's not a giant leap to add animation following the mouse. It's not impressive because that's what such an API is supposed to allow. It's like being impressed that the statement echo "Hello World" printed something to the screen when that's exactly what it's supposed to do.

I found the CSS demo more impressive because it did something unexpected and creative with CSS. They turned the concept of a "box shadow" on its head.
Remind HN: HN Meetup in Zurich, Switzerland Tomorrow, 12th of May
Hey everybody

As the title already suggests it, this is just a little reminder that tomorrow the Zurich HN meetup will take place at the 'Ziegel oh Lac (http://www.ziegelohlac.ch/), starting at 19:00 o'clock (Central European Summer Time)

I hope you'll join us! We (mkuhn, CaptainZapp and giu) are looking forward to it!
Like you, I obviously don't grok Go. Is the goal to build a modern general purpose language? Or is it to build a better C?

I'm not sure how it can succeed at either when when it borrows a so much from C (a language which is at least a couple generations dated when it comes to general purpose languages) while adding garbage collection.
This argument about de-duplication reminds me of the excellent essay: "What Colour are your bits?"

This seems like a case of premature optimization. C rocks at what it does. The billion other languages are pointing out and improving upon the stuff C does badly, but they don't replace C (a language I've nearly forgotten, but respect). I RTFA (and its subpages) and didn't see anything mindblowing.

The payoff of C->Go comes if you have 1M LOC of C. 900k LOC of Go is much better. For most of us, just-getting-it-to-run is awesome and that's why Ruby, Python, Lisp and Clojure dominate.

The best part of the post is that (until later) I didn't know that the "ooh-wow" bits on http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/c2go/ch04.html#_f... were Go and were longer than their C equivalents. Sure, the C bits look scary to a noob; they look perfectly sane to a journeyman.

A distributed weather prediction system using cellular phones
Apple's vision of turning computers into toasters is exactly the reason why I switched to a Mac. I'm too old to deal with maintaining a PC. Just give me a box and let me do my work. For most of the objects that I interact with on a daily basis, I don't care how it works or whether I can "hack" or upgrade it. I just care that it works and gets out of my way when I don't need it any more.

The only notable exception that I can think of right now is a car. But as for computers, that's very much an appliance in my eyes, despite being a developer and coding on Linux and Windows all day at work.
I remember a time when people asked, "What will replace the floppy drive?" Everyone expected the replacement to look and feel like a floppy drive, but with more speed and capacity. In the end, the "floppy killer" never materialized. Several unrelated technologies ended up taking over floppy's uses one-by-one. CD-ROM's took over software distribution, USB thumb drives took over file transfer between computers, and the network took over everything else.

The same thing will probably happen to C. Modern languages like Python or have arguably "replaced C" in several use-cases already. Go will probably claim a few more. On the other hand, Go is completely unsuitable for applications that cannot tolerate garbage collection, such as embedded firmware. Some other language will have to come along and claim that niche from C as well.
I'm using it. It definitely works well for me.
Kudos. But if you are a newbie, then perhaps it would be more useful for you, in order to learn how to use an actual DSLR in the field, to reduce the 'Lighting' to more difficult situations ('Overcast', 'Bright Indoors' etc.) and...

1.) set up the simulator to Tv mode and play with the 'Shutter Speed' and ISO primarily

...and after this:

2.) set up the simulator to Av mode and play with the 'Aperture' and ISO primarily.

In this way you will learn how far you can go in real situations and what results you might expect.

Others have pointed out that this will increase the dominance of both Chrome and Google Docs/other Google apps. Perhaps Google looks at it as a loss leader to drive adoption on the real money maker, ads from Google.
You just need a new breed of student, at my school almost all student presentations were done in google docs (the professors didn't mind, and wireless works well in the building). (This is pretty much limited to my class in the ME department though)

All collaborative lab reports and student assignments were done in google docs as well, everyone pretty much communicates through gmail if they aren't talking face to face as well.

It just depends on how people want to work, many students don't like having to spend all their time in the lab so they use Autodesk Inventor (free for students) over Pro/E Wildfire or Solidworks (in the computer lab). Students still do torrent the MS programs if they have to use them but when they don't they are fine with semi-equivalent free alternatives.

Is this person intentionally trying to make the C harder to read? What's with all the missing newlines? I didn't get past the first few examples, because the C was so unnecessarily difficult to read, I assumed the Go was in similarly bad style. (I don't know Go.)

Maybe there's a point in there somewhere, but bad code samples distract from it.
Yeah, they're doing great, but you can't backup your theory with two measures that are heavily dependent on past results. If you think Apple are going to keep doing as well as they are now in the face of some pretty ferocious competition then you can't just cite current sales and stock price.
