I may be an exception to the rule (though hopefully less exceptional on HN) but there are many reasons why I'm still probbly going to buy the N9, dispite Nokia abandoning the platform. Here's why:

Nokia is marketing Qt as the N9's development platform. They're also porting Qt to their S40 platform which is powering "the next billion". Apps written for these devices should (hopefully) also run on the N9.

The N9 is based on Maemo, which already has a few thousand open source apps for it. These apps will need porting but as Maemo 5 and 6 are quite similar this shouldn't be too difficult. This includes Python, PHP, Ruby, Emacs, vi and loads of other cool stuff (for people like me, at least).

There is an Android port (called NITDroid) for the Maemo 5-based N900. This doesn't currently let you make / receive phone calls but it can do everything an Android tablet can do and thousands of Android apps can be installed on it. I would be suprised if someone hadn't got NITDroid working on the N9 within a couple of months of launch.

Being Linux, Maemo runs many standard Linux programs if they are recompiled. I have The Gimp and Netbeans on my N900, for example. I can also chroot into a standard ARM Debian install and run Apache & MySQL. People will probably have Ubuntu running on the N9 soon.

As for games, Maemo shares quite a lot of its architecture with WebOS and many WebOS games run on the N900.

Of course, then they could chop your finger off.

But then, that lock allows for PIN code + finger... so after they've chopped your finger off, they still won't be able to get entry without the PIN code.

Or they could just beat you until you opened the door. Traditional methods are still the best.

The other reason to run CP .vs CNP is, of course, fraud resolution. If you had the card in your hand, it's much less likely to have been someone running an online scam.

But the, why doesn't having a photo of the card in-question also qualify for a CP?

I think Square moved toward being able to swipe because it's more 'traditional'. People were going to be upset about vendors taking a pic of their card.
I'm so very sorry to hear this story. It reminds me of another one about Indian engineers looking for brides back home - I heard on NPR a few years back. It was heart breaking to hear that the order of preference for the potential brides was citizen, h1b applying for green card, green card holders. You see, if you are on h1b your spouse can stay with you (but cannot work), and if you get a green card while already married, she gets one too. But, if you already have a green card, you are in worst possible case from family point of view, as explained above. It really, really sucks.
OK, I can see the "gift horse". Now let's look at the teeth.

That is a really bad way to set and remember passwords for most people. It's so complex, it must take a couple of minutes to calculate the password every time. Security that people actually USE, needs to be simple.

I usually use sentances with 4 or so words, that is odd enough to remember. I combine that with keepass safe for sites i only log into on my computers and synch it using dropbox. I also have access to it on my iphone and ipad. The combination of these techniques enable me to log into most sites without a password manager and all of them on the fly.
On one hand I'm upset about the fact that I can invent something, not have the money to patent it, and have someone else get rights to the patent because they had the money for it.

=============================

On the other hand, image this:

- I created an invention.

- I worked my ass off saving up $5-10 thousand dollars for patent and legal fees.

- I spend hundreds of hours of my life searching for prior art on the internet and in publishing magazines. I think I'm safe.

- I file the patent.

- Some random ass guy in Minnesota comes up with prior art and I don't get the patent.

- I just wasted $15,000 and years of my life.

=============================

It feels like the first-to-file system protects inventors who haul ass and get shit done, and punishes lazy (or unfortunately poor) inventors who sit on their inventions and cannot afford to /or/ refuse to move them to market.

So maybe this is the good thing?
I know you've answered this before, but where is your go-to place for quality writing? So many of the places that I've looked at seem Very low content.

The last thing I'd want to do is create a bunch of content that would make me look bad in the process. If I'm putting it online behind my company's name, it should be (hopefully) better writing than I could have done myself.
> The moment you use eval to parse "JSON" data you _are_ trusting content from the client. eval _executes_ javascript, JSON just happens to be mostly compatible with JS object and array literal syntax so it "Just Works".

not nesseserily , this attack could be easily mitigated if supposed JSON string is first parsed and validated on server. and only then send back to eval() on browser.

so it is therefore not inherently unsafe to use eval() on JSON.

While I understand what you're saying, I think the professional setting in which that material is being passed around warrants a discussion on whether or not it should be passed around at all.

I might be making a mountain out of a molehill, but I can't help the fact it irked me that a video clip that shows the death of 4 men - most likely passed around as something "cool" and something to be glorified - is being passed around by law enforcement.

Not to count (of course) those your country's policies have merely displaced, such as many of the poor in Mexico, victims of "Free Trade" and the like.

it's true that setting up node on windows is just a minor convenience (i did it with both ubuntu on virtualbox and with cygwin). it's still a big gap for novice programmers, and severely limits the number of windows users who just want to try it. having a native version for windows will increase adoption a lot.
The reports of cops breaking the law for their own purposes, and getting away with it, vastly outnumber the reports of cops breaking the law for humane purposes or moral reasons. If reality is they are perfectly happy doing the first, arguing against the second as something they 'should not do' is ludicrous. As long as this is the way the balance tips, any cop that lets an illegal immigrant walk has my blessing.

I've not seen any figures that suggest that they're "mostly" games - can you provide a link (the one below doesn't support mostly, it support games as the single most used but by a relatively small margin over several other categories).

I'm not sure it is just hype. Digital music is considered significant yet app sales are about to outstrip downloads and there are predictions that if game downloads carry on on their current trajectory then in 10 years time Apple IS mobile gaming.

And apps are an enabler for a lot of other stuff from smart phone sales (for instance that $2bn includes nothing from free apps such as Facebook and Twitter which are key for many people) to data sales to add sales (estimated at another $850m by 2014) to everything else.

Sure, on it's own $2bn can be seen as relatively small beans that's not the full story for revenue that can be directly attributable to apps and there are significant indirect effects beyond that.
Is this the biggest "improvement" of the "overhaul"? I see this everywhere, but not much else. Did they shorten the expiration time for patents? Did they make it so you can't file for stupidly obvious patents? If they didn't, then this "overhaul" is not much of an overhaul at all.

4. Regularly go to office hours.
There is a prior user defense, see 35 USC 273. Unfortunately, in its current form it is essentially useless, as it only applies to method claims, and nearly all patents contain both product and method claims.

However, the House version of the reform bill expands the defense to cover all types of claims; thus if it survives reconciliation with the Senate bill it will likely become a viable defense.
> Ok, I've let this slide up until now, but this is a very poor attempt at implying that America has been a primary perpetrator of crimes throughout history or has somehow obtained success by "stealing" it from others.

It's true. If we applied the same rules to countries that we do to the mafia, you'd be a criminal conspirator in an agency that has routinely used murder for control and profit.

Did you go to an American public school?
It would certainly make it much harder to steal the data -- and at the same time it would make it much harder to boot the machine, because at some point you'd have to enter a passphrase. It's possible to do so over SSH, but it's still a bit tricky. Rebooting the server while you're away from an internet connexion will leave it in a useless state.

That being said, even with volume encryption, the key is in memory somewhere. RAM isn't wiped as quickly as you might think, and it's apparently possible to extract keys from memory after the machine has been powered down. So be warned, and be paranoid!

> if you take your position to the extreme then there should be NO concept of citizenry.

Yeah. It's just what the first people to go somewhere say when someone else tries to join them. "Take off, we first settlers don't want you here."

We don't recognize first-posters as owning the thread, or (except in the USA) first-solvers owning the formula, so why should we recognize first-squatters owning the land?

> It's all fine and dandy as a theoretical concept but has no bearing (or utility) on the real world.

Not at all. The concept of doing whatever you want is firmly established in the real world. Your adoptive countrymen weren't welcomed here (or at least, not in much of 'here'). They came by force and trick, murdering and stealing.

At least today's undocumented immigrants live in peace.

They do call in locksmiths to open safes, etc. afterward, to get evidence.

Simple social music streaming on the iPhone
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new social music service JamJockey.

JamJockey offers over 11 million free streaming tracks on the iPhone and is now available for free on the Apple AppStore (download link).

JamJockey was created as side project by the two of us over the course of several weeks. We were frustrated with traditional cloud music services and gimmicky social music experiences so we decided to build a simple social streaming music service that had no unnecessary frills -- JamJockey was born.

Let us know what you think!

Brick and Mortar Business
F/0.7 at 36mm, at that.

Probably wouldn't have worked terribly well in a 35mm still camera. (35mm stills have the long side aligned with the sprockets, (864mm^2 total usable area) 35 motion photography has the short side aligned with the sprockets, and the usable area is reduced still further by optical sound encoding. (352mm^2)

I, of course, haven't used the lens in question; (nor, uh, seen the movie) but it almost certainly doesn't cast a wide enough optical circle to be used with a 35mm still camera, and probably isn't enormously sharp when stopped wide open.

EDIT: Looking into the world of ultrafast lenses, something I hadn't previously investigated with any real rigour, due to not being a Microsoft stockholder; and it appears that a f/0.7 lens for a 35mm still camera is not a thing that can be purchased for love or money. References to such lenses tend to be of discontinued models, or for 35 motion cameras.

My wild guess is that the manufacturers got tired of people inhaling their drink when told the price, then bursting into laughter when they actually see the (lack) of sharpness.

For an example, the Leica Noctilux-M Normal ASPH 50 mm F/1.0 .[1] For a lens that's not anywhere as wide angle as the article's lens, and a full f/stop slower, you have the enormous privilege of paying US$7,700. Don't drop it! You'd be really, really sorry!

You can find plenty of ultrafast wide-angle lenses for C-mount or Micro four-thirds, because the flange focal distance is smaller,[2] the throat size is smaller, and the frame size is smaller, all of which make the engineering problem easier to solve. Here's a F/1.0 3-8mm zoom[3] that's positively affordable! That's because they solve two completely different problems, as you may have noticed by the $6,650 difference in price.

1: http://cgi.ebay.com/Leica-Noctilux-M-Normal-ASPH-50-mm-F-1-0...

2: This means the focal plane is physically closer, so it doesn't have to throw the image as far, and doesn't have to focus over as large of a range.
