I always related it to the military practice of issuing new codebooks periodically. For one concrete example, the Japanese changed their codes right before the Battle of Midway, so the US was not able to under any of the messages sent during the battle. Unfortunately for the Japanese, the US already had enough information from cracking the former Japanese code that this really did not matter.
I'm puzzled as to why this is upvoted so highly. It's just a very wide website with a picture and some code on it. "Boilerplate" to me means the legalese at the bottom mandated by corporate lawyers, but I don't see much in the way of boilerplate here.

Is it a template for emails that look like the website? I'd ignore any emails that look like this website, but then I'd never see them, as I don't have HTML email enabled by default, for lots of reasons.
No, evolution always selects for the same goal. There are different strategies for attaining that goal, and in different environments those strategies work out differently. But the goal is always the same - do you many generations later have lots of descendants with the gene?

Contrary to what you think I'd guess most HNers have some experience with 'actual multitasking' on real computers. Most of them understand that it's easier to enable it fully then to enable it in a highly limited fashion. Most of them understand that "actual multitasking" is not the holy grail of computing. Most of them realize that Apple has disabled "actual multitasking" in favor of superior battery life. And most of them do have experience with Froyo or Gingerbread phones since ~75% of android phones are running Froyo plus.

I just flashed back to one of many times in the last few years that the person behind the cash register couldn't handle basic making change without the machine telling him how to count.

But then, if we're seriously talking about "the classics", then "everyone" is already classic-illiterate, aren't they?

But I'm still fairly classic-illiterate by the standards of 100 years ago...

All else being equal, in an environment like our own where survival is easy, generally the more kids the merrier.

Modern economics and birth control have created pressures against reproducing that we have never faced in our evolutionary history. Our species has not yet evolved a response to it. Once we have evolved a response to it, I would predict exponential growth rate until we exhaust available resources.

This may not happen in 10 generations or 20. But in 1000 generations, our species will have adapted and reached a crisis.

It never really took off, but Nintendo has already put full-color screens in our hands with a console. They had a few GameCube games that could use GameBoyAdvance devices as controllers. The best application I saw for it was the PacMan party game. One player plays PacMan. He sees the whole board on his GBA screen. Three players play ghosts. They all share the TV, but they can only see the board immediately around themselves. The ghosts had to work together to narrow down where the PacMan player was hiding.

The point the authors seem to be making (haven't read the paper, just read the article) is that this phenomenon of pricing IPOs based solely on "precedent" is limited to American banks. Another trite phenomenon, competition, seems to be present in Europe, where deals seem to be priced based on novel parameters like demand, risk, size, and financial complexity.

Also, if your observation above is in fact correct and investment banks continue basing their pricing on what they've done for the last 20 years, then I wouldn't worry about the government coming in and messing with their business - reliance on logic like "it's how we've always done things" is sure to bring about obsolescence first.
If you are't into first class economic writing, and I'm talking so good it almost explains the euro, pick up the FT Saturday edition.

I know, the HN audience doesn't care. But amid all the discussion of platform strategy, the FT staff deserve a salute. There is a reason this paper doesn't need Apple.

So you have extremely strong evidence of legal and anti-competitive practices and nothing can probably be done ?? Is the US financial industry now untouchable? Sounds like some south american banana republic from the 70's to me.

The scary thing is this probably speaks volumes about the insidious effect of the banking industry on the US economy. (BTW - I am a brit and living on the UK but I care because if the US economy goes I'm pretty sure it'll drag the UK and most of western europe down with it.
What if iCloud actually helps some startups?
Hardly. I was a part of the developer program, and for the time, it was a dream to develop for. Because of the pervasive multithreading, development was a little bit more complicated, but the BeAPI was lovely, and very forward-thinking. And the benefits of the multithreaded architecture were immediately apparent to anyone who did even elementary development.

What killed BeOS was Microsoft strong-arming PC manufacturers to not allow BeOS as an option. Be had Hitachi and Compaq lined up for dual booting and an internet appliance, respectively. Microsoft used their OEM program to get them to go back on the deals.

BeOS alone is one reason I will never forgive the anti-competitive, monopolistic tactics of 90's Microsoft.
Boilerplate according to Wikipedia is "any text that is or can be reused in new contexts or applications without being changed much from the original."

Coding HTML emails is a very painful task since CSS support is spotty and there are a wide variety of email clients with strange quirks in almost all of them. In order to get things to render reasonably consistently you have to use some really ugly code with tables for layout and inline styles all over the place.

This project collects all (or most) of these hacks into one template that is pretty easy to modify.

It isn't that the elites are about as smart as the rest of us, it's that they were usually found to have their own agenda, regardless of the ideals they espoused. Just another case of someone telling you "it's for your own good", when really it was for theirs. "Intellectuals" are the ones who are reacting badly, when their "authority" is challenged.

It's not anti-intellectual to require someone back up their statements from authority, it's science.

The Kelo decision was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court... The Boeing lawsuit is being brought in federal court by the National Labor Relations Board...

The only conclusion I can see in your statements is that the government defines the law, so if the government does it, it must be within the rule of law. But obviously that's a tautology.

Kelo is probably the clearest example of the problem: the government itself turns on its ear centuries of common law, and the clear and unambiguous text of the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. The fact that the government has said that this new definition is what must be considered the law doesn't change the fact that (a) it flies in the face of the protections that Americans believed they enjoyed; and (b) created an environment in which we're all less safe in our property.

But honestly, I think that when I wrote my initial post, when I said "rule of law", what I was actually thinking was "well-understood principles of property rights and contract law".

It could probably be rationally argued that cartel behavior is as destructive as (or more destructive than) monopoly behavior in a capitalistic economic system.

In a monopolistic situation there's almost always incentive for those "outside" the monopoly to weaken or disband the monopoly's stronghold; if enough individuals join together and engage in cartel behavior independently from the monopoly, the market at least turns into a duopoly. However, in a cartel situation where there's no threat of duopoly or oligopoly, there's more incentive to join the cartel than there is to attempt to disband the central monopoly that's essentially controlling the cartel. It's almost like high-level blackmail because it makes the monopoly stronger while weakening the incentive to compete "outside" the monopoly.

For example -- my favorite soapbox issue: the National Association of Realtors. They could be likened to a cartel of people unified in their incentive to keep their "spread" around 6.x percent. These IPO financiers are likely in the same boat: they all know and silently agree that they're better of keeping their spread at 6.x or 7.x percent than they would be going off on their own or using their "little" money to compete with the "big" money of IPOs.

Steve Blank: ‘The democratization of entrepreneurship is happening now’ [video]
One can't help but wonder if it is not a coincidence that the average reading level of the comments written by my esteemed fellow HN members--as measured by such instruments as the Flesch-Kincaid readability test--shows marked improvement on this thread. Perhaps this phenomenon can be accounted for by observing the proliferation of superfluous polysyllabic adjectives which have doubtlessly been deployed strategically to serve as an argumentum a contrario to Mr. Sanger. And under the influence of the philosopher Marshall McLuhan's famous slogan, "The medium is the message," may we not risk the hypothesis that those who, in the language of the intellectual, dispute the relevance of the intellectual thereby refute themselves?

For straight content delivery companies, making a web app should be the first priority. A native app isn't going to offer much in the way of enhanced functionality, and your effort will likely be diluted while you chase multiple platforms.

It makes even more sense to focus on a web app when your company already has a web site. You likely already have the expertise on staff to create a good web app, and any new features or techniques you develop can be easily used in both places.
Correct. Flares can have an energy around the order of 10% of the total average energy output for the sun per second.

That one is trotted out a little too often. I much prefer Twain's "History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme."

It's important to know of the past, but many who use this argument are simply afraid of the present, and are attempting to denigrate new ideas and discoveries.
I see the killing of Windows is a natural consequence of the flow of technology. In producing new products that match where the world is going, Apple is part of killing Windows, just like the rest of us. To say 'killing Windows' it's the 'purpose' of a given Apple product is absurd, somewhat like saying the point of driving to work in the morning is to pass a certain traffic light.
How do you deal with the url if it can change?

For example, you register for example.com on http://register.example.com and then login on https://login.example.com and in the future they may change it to https://examplelogin.com/auth/

Or what if the company changes name? For example, I used to log into my bank on http://wamu.com and now they are bought by Chase so it's http://chase.com
Thanks, interesting that this didn't show up in my brief research.
My comment wasn't about multitasking, but it was nice of you to focus on it. As for the apologizing for Apple's half-baked multitasking is fine, I'm very glad you're happy with what you're allowed to do on your phone. My battery life is quite fine, thank you, I frankly had thought we were past that excuse.

The bit about multitasking was merely a remark that everything Apple does is magic, even here on HN where I usually expect better. iMessage is magic (despite doing what Google Voice does with less features). iOS multitasking is magic (and a clone of Android's minus some features). Notifications are obvious in iOS 5. They even have the gall to intro notifications, a near exact clone of them in Android and then less than five minutes later, jeer that their competitors will steal from them. iCloud API? Oh cool, almost like the cloud backup feature offered in Froyo. Apple has great stuff, I'm just tired of everyone acting like Steve himself invented all of it. And I'm tired of the default assumption that iOS is easier to use than Android. (It's just like Windows/Mac. I took my mom to KC and to the Apple store and had her play with an iPhone. She had a very hard time using it, she was used to the Android way. Just like iOS users are confused by my phone.)

Truth be told, I don't have a problem with Apple's multitasking implementation. I think it's limited, some apps that I use daily don't and never will exist in iOS because APIs simply don't exist that would allow them to be functional. That's fine. I was talking from a UI/UX standpoint. I can switch between apps, or have an application launch another via Intent, and they work as a user would expect. And the back button and long-press-home work as users would expect them to. This is not the case with iOS, there is no parallel to Intents and going between applications to share data for any sort of "process" that a developer might want. That was more my indictment. I wasn't looking for the generic age-old Apple v Google v "stealing" debate. I can go have that anywhere with anyone.

And I'm sure that "most" of HN has experience with Froyo+, but my doubts come in about those that downvote those that like the Android UI or the ones that imply that Android looks bad or is unsuable. It's these people that either haven't actually used an Android device in the last year or longer, or didn't bother trying to use it for more than a minute. I've still yet to hear an actual indictment of the current Android UI/X or why iOS's is so vastly superior. (which is what we were actually talking about)
All of those "We used to sanction…" bullet points are not the government giving up its power. If anything, the government is now asserting more power to block things that used to be permitted. Similarly, if a collector stops sanctioning late payments and takes a baseball bat to delinquent debtors, nobody would say, "Wow, just look at how much he's given up his power over these people." (I'm not saying the laws in question are bad, but they aren't examples of the government giving up power.)

Abolishing the draft actually is an example of the government giving up power — or would be, if it had actually happened. Which it hasn't. All American men are required by law to sign up for Selective Service (i.e. the draft). The reason people aren't being actively drafted is because those in charge believe a draft at this time would be more trouble than it is worth, not because the government has relinquished the power.
I have to say their photo browser is trying too hard to be edgy instead of usable.

I kind of like the analogy (partly because I like playing with language) of justing going ahead and having the baby out of wedlock (in this case, the "baby" being the project/startup). I mean, if you know you want a baby but aren't in love with someone, it seems to me like trying to force a marriage expressly to get a baby is a bad idea (kind of the opposite of a shotgun wedding -- or a shotgun wedding without the compelling reason in the first place).

Are there challenges to going it alone? Sure. But it isn't necessarily worse than being stuck with someone whose heart isn't really in it.
