Nice to see them react so fast, but I dont get the point about the feature.

Are people really gonna switch a button that lets them hide their gender, something that can usually be easily found out by looking at the user's firstname and/or profile picture?
yeah, they all /ask/ for .doc format, but if you see what the hiring manager gets? it's mangled crap. Text would be far more readable. I'd bet money that .txt (or ascii in a file that happens to be named .doc) works better with the buzzword bingo software the recruiters use.

If A 3x6 Figure Business Owner said to YOU...
My question is what's stopping Google from releasing the base Android OS?

Ignoring Honeycomb, they do that - they just delay it. I thought the delay is what you were talking about.

Or is Google developing separate Android OSes with each hardware vendor?

It's not an either/or question. Each vendor has different drivers (for things like different kinds of screens, 3D cameras etc), and if other vendors saw these it would give away their capabilities early.

I believe that each vendor doesn't get to see the whole tree until there is a complete release.

And what's stopping them from following a open development model like chromium?

Chromium doesn't have tight hardware integration.

A better example is something like the graphics drivers in the Linux kernel. Nvidia & ATI have historically been very reluctant to release the code for them and have tried to avoid it in various ways.

Handset vendors have the same motivations as the video card vendors, and so Google has to accommodate them somewhat to get them to use Android.
Apparently HN doesn't allow me the right of reply here to either lotharbot nor tptacek. Weird.

Anyway, the response is the same to both of you: I do not believe that either of you pore through every link in an article, reading all the way through before commenting. Particularly with court notes. No-one does. You're making a post-hoc defense.

If not reading the court notes linked in that article before commenting is worthy of having your credibility and history derided, then my bet is that pretty much every single commenter in this whole thread is guilty of this.

Also, lothar: your reference describes the picture of being of a prepubescent girl, which is different to the wired article which references a pubescent girl. From the context of inoop's comment, he's obviously going from the linked wired article and not the sub-linked court notes.

edit: sorry, swapped the last two paragraphs, 'if not...' was not meant to follow on from 'also...'
When someone hides their gender, the language used from then on will be neutral. That's what they had to implement - neutral (instead of gender specific language).
That's one of the legitimate reasons to switch to an interpreted language, or else Go. Unless you value your compilation off-time :)

Ask HN: Press Release Distribution Sites
Does anyone have advice regarding using services such as 24-7pressrelease.com or PRWeb.com to send out press releases?

I understand it's not the best, not targeted, etc. But, in terms of quantity, it seems like it would get the Press release in front of many more eyeballs than I could do myself.

Anybody use these in the past and can offer their experience or recommend a service?

Thanks in advance!
They both provide pretty much the same features, but jQuery has had more time and exposure so It is 'probably' a tad more stable.

With regard to backbone and the like it really all depends on your ppl resources. If you want corp support you can forget about it. Sencha's ExtJs might be a better fit.

Also note that backbone and almost all the wonderful modules out there haven't even reached 1.0. It is perhaps this that makes Googles offering compelling as they use this internally and relies on a stable API/codebase.

For the record, I am a big backbone, coffeescript fan.
It is too short. This hacker tried to get his neighbor labeled as a sex offender and a terrorist, on top of trying to ruin his marriage, family, and get him fired. All of those things, especially the first two, would have screwed up the rest of that lawyer's life.

The hacker tried to take this guy's life away. 18 years in prison pales in comparison to the damage he tried to do. If this hacker received a slap on the hand, it'd be no better than not punishing women for false accusations of rape. If you try to ruin someone's life on purpose, you deserve to have your life ruined. If the hacker finds new meaning to life while incarcerated, that's what parole hearings are for.
no you can't. not yet. at least, i can't.
The cloud is going to eliminate the need for Windows IT infrastructure. Who needs group policies when you run everything in the cloud?
Interesting that it's "impressive" when Google listens to user feedback and makes a small change based on it. That highlights how awful they usually are at listening to, responding to, and supporting users.

Why is the bar so low for Google?
Interesting how many people's first thoughts go to fairness to the defendant, despite the seriousness of his crimes and the utter certainty that he committed them. Apparently, because of the means he used, many folks here find it easier to identify with him than with his victims.

It reminds me of the discussions of local bicycle-car accidents I read when I was reading through cycling forums looking for commuting tips years ago. You could put Pol Pot on a bicycle, and suddenly people would see things from his perspective.

Anyway, I urge people to consider that anxieties about being unfairly treated and fantasies about satisfying computer-based acts of retribution are pretty common and have NOTHING to do with this guy's very rare and very dangerous ability to commit such cruelty, not once on an impulse, not to one family, but to multiple victims over long periods of time. If he was a little less clever and/or had a little bit more physical bravery, he might have physically tortured and killed people instead of just trying to ruin their lives.
Analyzing Etsy's data with Hadoop and Cascading
The hacker tried to get this lawyer labeled as a sex offender and a terrorist. That would, in a quite literal way, ruin the lawyer's life.

Not everyone has the resources or technical know-how to understand and log what was happening. Attempting to ruin someone's life is what is on trial here, not hacking wifi. It wasn't the first time the hacker did something like this either.
The person who took the photos, since that would be the creative act. Sorting through the photos and selecting the good ones is also a creative act, but it is a derivative work because the original images are copyright protected. The difference comes about because monkeys are not capable of owning copyright, and hence are not capable of "creative acts" as far as copyright is concerned.
Given what Adams says about the book's contents (no proprietary information) and the prior written permission, it's hard to see how Google could block its publication.

Google could request their name not be used to imply any endorsement, and perhaps raise a stink about the similarity in title to their now prominent feature.

But prevent the publishing of its contents? On what basis? (Threats of disfavoring the publishing house in the future?)

Even if the book did have trade secrets, our legal system isn't big on placing prior restraint on authors/publishers.
why is that a problem? serious question
Why is that a win? I just don't see it. It sounds great for geeks like us, but this is the same fragmentation we find in the PC market, where brand x thing doesn't work with brand y thing. I bought a Samsung phone last year, and 4 months later they decided I'd get no more firmware. My friends can all run Google Music on their phones. I have to wait because I chose "the wrong phone."

Apple's one device works well for non techies... in fact out of the non-geeks I know, it's about split between Android and iOS devices - the folks with iOS say they have an iPhone. The others say they have a Samsung or an EVO.

I think the "one device" works pretty well.
Both Mac and Windows perform gratuitous iparp before configuring an IP address to ensure no one else is using that IP. This is common really and not that big of a deal.

Based on anecdotal evidence it seems like python is generally much more popular then ruby, being frequently used for just about any general purpose programming (other then some speed sensitive and low level stuff) such as os scripting, application scripting, web programming, number crunching, desktop applications, ect.

While ruby(usually rails) is unfortunately only popular for web programming (probably because python is a very similar language that out-competes it, partially due to specialized libraries and more stable interfaces) where it seems to be more popular then python.
Different cultures vary hugely as to how they use eye contact when talking, whether it's expected or whether it's intrusive. It's interesting to get the reminder that it also varies by individual.

I can't speak for Thomas. For myself, I don't believe I've said anything that qualifies as deriding anyone's credibility or history (or trying to make a post-hoc defense for myself). I'm just trying to bring facts to light -- because a relevant issue was brought up, I took the time to pore through details I otherwise would not have.

In short, the issue brought up was that the sentence seems excessive given that "child porn" could mean a picture of 17 year olds. Having done the research, it's clear that the picture was of much younger children, and that the length of the sentence was due to several factors beyond the "child porn" issue. So the ancestor post to this raised a valid question, but was ultimately wrong on the relevant facts.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for trying out the site!

We've found, both in talking to language teachers and in our own experience, that video helps communication and comprehension. However, it's definitely the case that for both privacy and bandwidth reasons, sometimes it's a liability. We don't require a webcam so for now you can just disconnect it if you're uncomfortable with it, but we're planning to add an option to intentionally omit the webcam feed in the future.

Thanks for the idea on topics; we've got a lot of ideas in that space, but we wanted to launch as soon as we had a viable product.

Glad you liked the call quality, it's central to many of the features we're hoping to introduce in the future. There's lots more coming. This is just the first step. :)

This is nice, but I'd love to see some more important features opened up instead- things like huddle on mobile web and working video playback in the Android app would be great.
You're missing the meta-strategy that Google ideally wants all computing I/O to run through its filters. If you use Gmail, Chrome browser and OS, Google Docs, Android, and now G+, then Google has a vice grip on your balls.

Google isn't the first software company to try to create a thin-client computing system on top of personal computers. And I have a feeling (or hope) they won't be successful for the simple reason that they are extending their reach too far.
Means To Stay Fit 
We should include walk and physical activity in our daily life for staying fit and losing fats. Food also plays important role in the life of people and we should use fresh foods for maintaining fitness. Cycling, jogging and swimming are some other activities that help us to stay fit and to lose fats.
"order of magnitude" is a deliberate way to present something as a rough estimate.

In that way it is a non-mathematical form of big-O notation.

You might prefer saying 10x or whatever, but complaining about the base is unnecessarily pedantic.

Edit: Actually, Wikipedia even says In its most common usage, the amount being scaled is 10 and the scale is the (base 10) exponent being applied to this amount (therefore, to be an order of magnitude greater is to be 10 times as large).

Last I checked the Video app only worked for the Xoom and has not yet started rolling out for any other device. Expect it to support the Nexus S once the new Market starts rolling out.

Update: Just installed it on my Nexus S.
The patching is definitely specified (Chromium OS is partially open source after all):

Business orientated apps that real solve a genuine
problem are more likely to be 'successful' (say,
valued at $100m+)

I thought $100m is still well within "crazy money swing-for-the-fences" territory? Maybe that's just me not being in SV.
Clicked on the "Try web demo" link on the home page and it does not appear to be working properly.

It brings me to http://www.mockuptiger.com/wireframe/mockups/demo_register.p... page, which looks like this - http://i54.tinypic.com/dnh6c7.png. "Click here" points at getin.php, but it effectively cycles back to the same page after all redirects.
It's not about unit testing but rather testing properly. With powerful mocking frameworks like Typemock Isolator or Isolator++ http://www.typemock.com many of these issues can be dealt with even for those who don't do TDD
Agreed. This is amazing.
No not new, but I haven't heard of myshape.com. I wouldn't call them a definitive test.

TechCrunch says they've raised $28 million since 2006. That is a boatload of money. They should split into at least two companies: one to represent and engage the users that will pay with their personal information, and another to integrate retailers with a suitably featured API.

If it becomes popular for people to store the entire laundry list of their personal information online (even something mundane like an inseam), then there is plenty of work to be done to upgrade the universe of e-commerce out there into such a store. It's a natural place for Amazon, eBay/PayPal, Facebook, or Google to be.

> Arguing that the photos are a "substantial" part of the report would not convince a court.

I'm reminded of a photo of the space shuttle taken by someone in a plane. Wouldn't the substance of a report about this event be the photo itself?
yeah, "being grammatically perfectly." is obviously of lesser importance to them :-)

Judging from the post, it doesn't seem like he's working on any of the problems he was talking about. He specifically mentions he isn't working on lists or groups, but rather working on advertising.
You are assuming that the client knows what a CAPTCHA is.

We definitely want good security in this project!".

It.All.Depends.

It all really depends on what these missing 25% are, on how hard it is to build a minimally viable community, on how big the pool of potential users is, on how exactly you talk to the devs, on where they are located, etc.

Too many factors that could vary wildly and so I doubt that anyone's past experience would be indicative of what you should be doing. In fact if you hear here an anecdote you like it may encourage you to take more risk than you can afford.
I would like to remind you that there are other languages on Earth too besides English.
Great story. I gotta ask though, how can ANYONE love SEO ??
I think I'll assume the reverse, and work from there.

Which means they decided to change the book's name to "Grouped" before joining Facebook. Hmmm... either serendipitous in the extreme, or the most epic book-marketing stunt I've heard of; start writing book about X, get X implemented, change name to company Y's offering, join Y, get X implemented at Y.

The scandal of it all will drive book sales through the roof, allowing them to leave Y and live on royalties, richer than they could've been from programming.

I like this plan.
I mean the initial user distribution was different and then there wasn't a strong competitor. The initial user base was the appeal for the masses.

As entrepreneurs we have to identify and pursue the opportunities that are available, not lament the loss of earlier ones we may not have taken full advantage of. But I wonder if we paid a little more attention to local and state government policies and decisions, it might pay a significant dividend in improvements to the economic environment that is the necessary platform for our new business efforts.

I wholly agree the guy's a total dick and probably has some serious mental issues, but come on, just because you troll your neighbours by hacking their WiFi doesn't mean you're capable of torture and murder. What this guy did is no different from trying to destroy someone professionally by spreading lies and rumours in more conventional ways, as has been done in most corporations pretty much ever since they were invented.
The U.S. Mint, Frequent Flier Miles and the Cobra Effect 
The U.S. Mint has a program where members of the public can purchase $1 coins at cost and was designed to increase circulation of the coins. Instead people buy the coins with credit cards, deposit the coins in their banks and pay the credit card balances with their bank accounts. The Mint's problem is compounded as 60% of the coins they produce return to the Mint via the banks.

Edit: it seems like this is an old story - there WSJ and LA Times articles from December 2009. One person ordered $800,000 in coins and got lifetime platinum-elite status from American Airlines.
