In can only be effectively solved by introducing accessible controls in browser, available out of the box. Extensions are insufficient because most average users are not educated enough and this is not going to change anytime soon.

Also, the extensions I've seen have not so great usability. For example, I don't know any extension for Chrome, which would say "This page attempts to set you a cookie (details). Accept?" after login form submission (but not bother me with ordinary page views, 3rd party domains and other typical tracking/analytics stuff).

From my understanding of RFCs, cookies are offered, not forcibly set. User agents may store them or may discard them at their sole discretion. If there are concerns (there certainly are) about too lax cookie acceptance policies in popular UAs, it's UAs, not sites are the ones that should be fixed.
I just feel sorry for the guy that answered. He's got +685 upvotes at time of writing and no dvs so he should have ~ 7,000 points from this, but apparently SO imposes a daily cap of 200.
It's interesting to note that the fossil record shows an apparent overall reduction in the morphological variety and number of hominans in the million years or so before present.

When we talk about Homo ergaster and Homo erectus it doesn't do justice to the significant variation among, and geographic distribution of, the fossils that are grouped under these species names. It's hard to know which variation can be accurately attributed to intra-species variation or sub-species or even separate species.

However, what is clear is that there is a great deal of variation in Africa, Asia, and Europe around the time of the "eretines". My feeling (back when I was a student) was that the archaeological evidence suggested an ongoing adaptive radiation of sorts, rather than the classic picture of a steady and relatively homoegeneous trajectory towards modern humans. But a lot of new research has been done since then that I'm not up to speed on.

Prior to the displacement and extinction of the remaining human forms there was already a reduction in the number and variation of Homo species. Even within our own species, there was much greater variation some 200-150kya.

There aren't any easy (accurate) answers to these sorts of questions, which is also why they are such fascinating areas of research. Understanding all the factors and events involved is very difficult with the type of information available.

You just have to look at the incredible lack of hominid (great ape) fossils for the last many million years of years to see know how difficult it can be to piece together an evolutionary history of a taxonomic group.
It's not the command line that makes git daunting, it's everything you have to know about git to use it effectively.

I don't believe a GUI can remove that without making git lot less powerful.

Wrong. B has bug X in Beta and supposedly don't have it in final release. It's easy to fix single implementation (Silverlight) in case of new bugs, but it is difficult to fix the standard.
One day I want an article with a title like this to be a genuine list containing 74 million items that someone has spent their whole life working on.
I left it unsaid that I assumed SQLLite was normally used in places other than the traditional back end server data store - I tend to use postgreSQL / mysql or perhaps a noSQL variant such as couchDB/Mongo for server-side data.

So I meant that instead of using SQLLite on mobile devices, pc based local fat clients or in the browser... I now use JSON now whereas I might have used SQLLite before [ I also use JSON where I might have used XML or windows config files etc ]

I did not intend to say JSON is replacing MySQL / PostgreSQL.
Hey there everyone. The article says most of it but as for why I decided to share this news with you is because I want to get maximum exposure for an effort like this. It's organised by three guys mainly who get little recognition so I thought why not get HN involved with it too. So here's my invitation to you guys to join the discussion. I'll be taking questions and passing it on to the three speakers in their qa sessions. The answers will be sent back. Hope to see you in about 15 minutes
It's not always applicable. For example .. highly concurrent web applications.
That's definitely true. Like many I'm at a workplace where I can't turn on sound. In fact, I don't even have a working sound card in this computer. Videos are nice and all, but they should always be optional.

Of course there are libraries that do all of this stuff - and they work nearly all the time. However, when they stop working you end up having to look at what is actually going over the wire (or WDSL if you are really unlucky) to try and work out what on earth is going on.

98% of the time SOAP works without too many problems - the trouble is that those other 2% of cases can be truly awful to debug because you have then got to wade through all of the crap that is in there to support the "easy to use" functionality.

SOAP should die.
"because the company couldn’t secure long-term exclusive content licenses from its owners."

Why is it that everyone thinks they need exclusivity? Hulu doesn't have enough infrastructure already to maintain their customer base? Seems to me they've got more than enough... PCs, Game Consoles, even some TVs have built-in support for it... And few others have any support at all.

Wikipedia, I am ignorant of biology. What delineates a 'species'?

"differing measures are often used, such as [...] morphology"

Okay. Please enlighten me as to the meaning of 'morphology'?

Morphology "includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, colour, pattern)"

So two organisms classified into different species might only differ in terms of outward appearance, such as colour? Surprising.

Thank you Wikipedia, you may go now.

Phones that support USB host (or USB on the go) could have a keyboard / mouse. I've done that with my N900. I don't think the N9 supports USB host out of the box but I bet some enterprising hackers will get it working. The N9 also has TV out (but not HDMI).

You could, alternatively, connect the keyboard / mouse via USB. Nokia's N8 has USB host and HDMI out but runs the Symbian platform. Here's a demo of the N8 connected to a TV & a keyboard / mouse: http://dailymobile.se/2010/10/07/nokia-n8-hdmi-bluetooth-key...

I’m currently 24, finally about to graduate after 7 years at university.

Did freelancing and contract work when I was 19, then I joined a large company at 20 where I worked full-time for nearly three years (I really just wanted an escape from university where I was questioning why I was there when I cared little about my major and seemed to bell well-off without a degree). After that I did PR work for a gaming startup for a few months.

Looking back, I wouldn’t have changed a lot of what I did other than hustling more towards my degree and other side projects when I took on the full-time gig. I was so burned-out from that one job that I just spent the rest of my time playing video games and taking one course per term. I became too complacent and didn’t explore all my possibilities when I had great freedom to do so.

So, whatever you do, just don’t do only that. Go for a breadth of experience; travel while doing freelancing, join a large company while doing a startup on the side, etc.
I think it's entirely reasonable to expect "professional" developers (including those who share their code online) to use names which make them easy to find using a search engine. The name "upskirt" fails this test because a search for that term will return a lot of results which are not only unrelated but also NSFW.
Games to tend to be the easiest to port too. They have no expectations of having the platform look & feel. Angry Birds looks the same on Android and iPhone and not even the diehards complain.

The CLI_FU's are just becoming more and more useful (and paid more). GIT is just becoming more and more useful for everyone from writers to designers. Those groups of people usually run with their tails between their legs away from the command line.
I also tend to use JSON as the main messaging format for Client/Server communications [ where I might have used sockets custom binary protocol previously ].

This means I can reuse the same REST style data 'provider' from within a Javascript web UI and within an iOS or Android client app.

So theres quite a few reasons why using JSON simplifies things for me - particularly I notice that there is a whole layer or ORM style boilerplate code that I dont need now [ whether its SQLLite <-> Object or XML <--> Object ].

I actually like the SQL Lite implementation!

If anything, this will just force better protocols and more anonymous methods of sharing to do be developed. Piracy will never die, because P2P communication is in the Internet's DNA. The more dramatic the copyright holders' response, the clearer it is just how close we are to seeing the end of copyright as we know it.

Even without copyright content producers can make a living: Spotify is a great step to bypassing music piracy and cloud services like syncing and serving up content can effectively demand payment, but the keyword is service. Farmers don't get paid in perpetuity every time anyone sells the same kind of crop as them (even genetically engineered crops can only be patented for 17 years), they actually have to continue to produce - they have to work for a living. So too, will the fat-cat copyright monopolists. For better or worse, copyright is dead - get over it and innovate.
Basically the same as a seebeck generator; but it can be used in places where current seebeck generators would not do well.

I wish they would phrase these things as "turns heat differences into electricity;" because every time they say "waste heat," people get excited about harvesting heat from their CPU and having their computer power itself.
Because you need a cold sink to make this work. Solar panels need a dark sink, but that's easy to get.

You can only convert energy (i.e. do work) when sending energy from high to low, for example hot to cold, light to dark, etc. (If you heated a solar panel to the point that it glowed with the same intensity as the incoming light it would not work. Ignoring the fact that it would melt :)

Electric power plants use bodies of water as the cold sink. If you ever see clouds of what looks like smoke, but is really steam while driving, what you are seeing is the cold water evaporating after being used as a cold sink.

BTW if you did want a solar-thermal power plant they exist, and don't need this material. It's a lot simpler than that - just concentrate the light to heat water and run a steam turbine.

BTW#2 "the magnetic component of light being much strong than thought" doesn't make sense. The magnetic component of light is VERY well understood. You are probably misremembering, or misunderstanding.
...and the main problem with that list is that 3 or 4 of them are proprietary platforms. So if Netflix or Amazon doesn't decide to support your platform, tough luck. You will never have access to your movies or books.

It's really about the perception that you don't know how to communicate. You also have no dress sense, don't date, have poor personal hygiene, talk gracelessly and have weird hobbies. This allows people to return to their default view that they are vastly superior to you, even though you are demonstrably smarter than many of them.

I wrote a one-line email last week to tell people: "Double-click the Connect Network Drives icon on your desktop or you won't be able to get to your files." I'm still getting phone calls about inaccessible shares, over a week later. People tell me "it's too technical" or "I don't have time to read emails like that!" So OP is quite correct: they've decided it's not worth their time and effort to understand.
Is there anything like this for android? Other than Google's own app inventor, which frankly is still a bit rough IMHO.
Yes. I'm amazed at how many people I deal with have little or no ability to consider they're audience's viewpoint. Everything from inside jokes in front of larger groups that have no clue what's funny to coworkers that walk up to me and rattle off an update on something they've been working on / thinking about all day when I have no idea what they're talking about. The ability to think outside of your own context is very helpful and a key "people" skill.
I love the idea of using this for new features. Consider me sold.
>While we're on the subject of apocalyptic scenarios, it's important to remember that there is an abundance of guns in the countryside, so any of us "city folk" hoping to loot some tasty country cooking are in for a different sort of treat.

While the ratio of guns/people is much higher in the countryside, the absolute number of guns in a big city is orders of magnitude higher than the absolute number of guns in any rural county. Even if there were no guns in the city, a mob of desparate people will charge a smaller number of better-armed people if starvation is the only other alternative. Also, rural populations are, by definition, spread out, making it easy for large mobs of looters to pick them off one homestead at a time. Those well-armed country folk aren't going to fare so well unless they are really far from the nearest big city.

>I'd like to think that a new system of logistics would evolve very quickly after a total financial disaster, so long as the food supplies didn't get so low that peoples' low blood sugar diminishes their ability to control their anger.

I'd like to think so, too. In areas with lower population density, it will probably work out that way, in large measure because it is possible in a small enough community to know almost everyone, making trust and barter a lot easier. In cities, where trade relies on cash because there are too many strangers, and where the logistical system is much more complex, I don't think it's likely for a viable alternative to evolve quickly enough to prevent mass starvation and the accompanying violence.
Perhaps they lived in the same environments, competed for the same scarce resources, and were delicious.
If I could downvote, I would, because 1) Your point is ridiculously minor and not supported by the article, 2) you whine about being downvoted, 3) you assume bad faith everywhere.
Not really. (Also: “Epic fail” and a pretty cryptic and lazy link? Doesn’t seem HN worthy.) This obviously doesn’t make perpetual motion machines a possibility and the article reeks of hyperbole but this technology is potentially useful.

It would be better to just make stuff that doesn’t produce any waste heat, I guess you could say that this is sort of a step in that direction. It’s for making stuff more efficient, no more, no less.
This story got me thinking; what stops hackers from using huge botnets to mine bitcoins? Surely more profitable than sending out spam?
Looks like they extracted their pound of flesh.
Evolutionarily, that would make sense as well: creatures similar to us are likely to be competing for the same resources -- and as they are different they can't be trusted to collaborate.

I guess this could also be the cause of racism.

I think the current way to write that is to either use Google Guave ImmutableMap.of("a", 1, "b", 2, "c", 3) or when mutable maps are required, to write:
Map m = new HashMap() {{
put("a", 1);
put("b", 2);
put("c", 3);
}};

Both of these are a bit lighter yet still far away from JavaScript or Ruby special syntaxes.
I'm not arguing for Kings mind you, but I will say that it seems all publishers want to become content owners. And if the current content owners don't want to run the site, I find it difficult to imagine they're going to stay with it forever.

The roles of creators and broadcasters are blurring. Not because of a squeezing from CEOs either to turn more a profit, but the necessity of the Internet.

Not nearly enough.

Note that C++ combines C's vulnerabilities with non-transparency. Suppose you have a data structure like "set of maps of strings to pointers to vectors." That's actually not a complicated structure for a modern application. Now suppose the new guy on the team, who is working on a function which is not taking user input and is not security-sensitive in itself, puts a pointer to a local variable in this structure. Now you, writing a security-sensitive function, write something to this structure. You're overwriting the stack, and NOBODY will warn you or do anything about it. You're certainly not going to get a compiler warning, and I don't think the "new guy" got one either when he did this - he was not directly returning the pointer. This means that you need to treat every line of the application as security-critical. Some people do, but for most, it's not realistic. There are some tools and techniques to help you, but it's not 100%. And it needs to be 100%, since the attacker needs 1 entry point.

I'm curious if you considered that the reason people preamble their posts with this is because they have gotten multiple downvotes in the past for something they said which was reasonable? My understanding is that downvotes should not be cast for dissenting opinions or unpopular but logical statements. However, my experience with the site is that this happens from time to time. Thankfully, there is sufficient traffic so that the situation often (but not always) rectifies it self .. i.e. people tend to upvote good comments. I'm relatively new to the site so am still trying to figure it out.

To this end, I feel the cap of -10 on downvotes was a great idea. It lets someone post an unpopular (but hopefully logically sound) argument with the knowledge that they will lose a capped amount of karma.
Yes. I don't subscribe to NYTimes, ChiTribune, LA Times or any other traditional media outlet in Google Reader and I use it every day.

Although the analogy is flawed, your point still stands that Hulu is nothing without content. The difference is that the television industry is so much more bound up in distribution rights than the web in general.
