2 - I think you should watch Barry Schwartz TED talk on the Paradox of Choice (http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_ch...) before considering this suggestion...but I can't help that more choice in this case might be better (if properly designed). Some people might want 1 package a month, but for it to be larger (maybe they have 4 kids)..or smaller...they might even like to pick preferences of types of candies..

3 - This might be a little far fetched, but you know what would be sweet (HAHAH!), if X days before it shipped, I had the opportunity to include a personal message. I could see buying this as a gift for someone special and wanting to include a unique and personal message each time.

Wrist pain can be a product of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

The thoracic region of the spine is supposedly very sturdy and resilient to injury. But sitting hunched over with head forward over many years can catch up to you.

How to Write Killer Headlines that Grab Attention
You can get excellent results when you know the secret to writing superb headlines. Many of the people interested in Internet marketing who don't write these exceptional headlines either don't know better or don't care to do better. Read this to find out all about writing headlines that deliver conversions.
I've worked in Scientific Websites (Biocompare the main one) for 6 years, and I love what Science Exchange is doing. The old guard of distributor networks, old boy research journals and closed research communities. It's taken a while but the industry is ready.

Biocompare received the same reaction when they launched - "scientists like their distributors and the free swag they get", "they'll never order products themselves". Research is ready for a disruption.

"I would like to remind people that contacting us with abusive e-mail messages is in fact illegal and we will be taking the appropriate steps to forward these messages and information gathered to both the relevant ISP’s and law enforcement agencies. "

From what I understand, from doing some research, this is not necessarily the case. Threatening someone would be illegal, harassment as well - but profanity for the most part is not illegal in most places (though there are certain states and countries that do have profanity laws). Additionally, "abusive" is a term that can be quite broad, and in certain cases it could definitely be a judgement call on how one person might see it compared to someone else. I'm not saying people should go cursing out any one they have a complaint with, but at the same time if you are dealing with customer support, you need to have thick skin and patience - and if necessary then cancel the business relationship with the customer, but don't go pulling the legal card on an unhappy customer in every case.

True, but IIRC the altered photographs are getting their day in court August 25th (Samsung's appeal of the now-limited injunction).
I always thought that CTS was caused by the muscles in the wrists being over developed. But I just read the Wikipedia article[0], and it seems that there is no evidence that CTS is related to typing. I'm not sure if wrist health can be helped by braces or exercise, except that it can be caused by obesity.

This is a great piece of marketing though, whether it is intended to be one or not. I wonder how many wrist braces were sold.

Ah, I missed that, sorry. You can get them locked to Virgin for $80 from DSE, or on ebay unlocked for around $120.

Perhaps I am reading too much into it but why did they not mention that they took down the previous blog post (http://www.thiswebhost.com/blog/2011/08/16/the-reddit-incide...)? They mention that they took down the tweets but why no mention of the blog posts?
I believe the article is talking about Android(TM), you're talking about the Android code in the source control, two very different things.

About HTC and Samsung(and the rest) forking Android, such moves have failed in the past with Symbian etc, because of two reasons. First is that you need a primary driver and others need to play second fiddle, also, the OEMs expertise is in hardware, not software. Their 'enhancements' to the stock Android UI and code have been reviled for lagging the phone and running down the battery. Same with the PC OEMs, the stuff bundled with their PCs universally suck.

Nokia is the latest to fail at making software and I don't think HTC and Samsung are going to go that route, especially since they're already pushing a ton of phones for now.
1. Are there seriously smiley faces in this serious post defending your company?

2. From what I can understand, they suspended multiple accounts, one of which was paid in full. The paid in full account's owner cursed out the company on twitter.

I assume everyone will agree with this statement, but I'll state it anyway: You can't cancel valid accounts! If the account is paid in full, and assuming the account isn't being used for nefarious purposes, you cannot cancel valid accounts for any reason.

If I have a Rackspace account, I can go into twitter and say "Rackspace fucking sucks, everyone who works there can go fuck themselves," and there's no chance in hell my account would be canceled. The idea that they are still defending this action is unbelievable.

If I hypothetically had an account with This* (which I would never ever have), and there's an outage of some kind and I call to complain, I'm going to be afraid that if I lose my cool for a second, my account's gonna be canceled. I'm not exaggerating, I would legitimately have that fear. And one is supposed to do business with this people? Are they out of their minds?

I think people calling for Jules' head are flat our wrong. To the best of my knowledge, he isn't a repeat offender, and now this* has made it unlikely that he will be, without having to fire him (and coincidentally, allowing him to do what this* considers him good at).

I'm generally not crazy about "off-with-his-head" mentality.

Nobody cares or feels sorry for Google. The days of viewing Google as an underdog and as a comapany with any moral sense are long gone. Remember "do no evil?" Do you know what it was replaced with?

"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

Do you know what I say to that? Fuck you. Fuck you and your lying bullshit. Not, "you shouldn't be telling people what you do privately", but, "you shouldn't be doing it in the first place".

I'm sick, sick of Google apologetics. Are you people really that fucking dumb? Do you feel it's in your benefit for Google to dominate search, social, and phone?

I welcome competition and I fear one corporation becoming a harbor of all information.

TBB is the most widely used abstraction (not OS threads like pthreads) for C++ parallelism (several developer surveys confirm this).

I come from the HPC community, where this is not the case. OpenMP or just plain ol' pthreads are dominant for shared-memory parallelism. That's partly because in the HPC community, data parallelism dominates, not task parallelism. Can you point to the study? I'd like to see who they surveyed, what they asked and just what their general methodology was.

Also, from what I was able to find out about RapidMind, their product was a combination of library and compiler support - but I was never able to get a good grasp of what exactly they did. They were rather secretive. But my understanding is that it's not accurate to describe ArBB as a "library." That is what I've always found curious about making Cilk and RapidMind live together in one product; as I understand it, they both require compiler changes, and they do have some overlap in functionality.

Also also, welcome to Hacker News!

Last time I read an article on the cost of producing Android devices Microsoft was making a very healthy profit from each device. Guess it pays to have an R & D lab and a few lawyers.

Also isn't Google currently holding Android code back form the public? even before all this latest carry on?

So currently it's a release by release open source system, and not purely open.
With good optics and a vacuum in between, sure you can.
You see those almost 500 comments at the source? Those are all relevant I'm sure. Google needs to realize fast that they're not solving any problems here but repeating the same mistakes. The Facebook on the other hand is probably freaking out for no good reason (is that relevant?).
Um, the title is very misleading. The analyst in the article predicts Apple will strike back with a patent purchase (plausible) as opposed to a company purchase (which sounds crazy even if they could it past the anti-trust watchdogs, particularly in Europe).
My advice: don't write off a potential career based on a few month's experience.

It took me several years to decide that I enjoyed software development as a profession, and that I enjoyed it enough to develop an aptitude for it.

Also, consider that it may be the environment - product, technology, team, company, existing code - that is putting you off. Even if you decide against what you're doing I'd limit the conclusion to "I hate my current job" rather than "I'm no good at programming."
Aren't touchpads worse than mice? I can't use one for more than ten minutes without the joints in my fingers lighting on fire.
I'd also like to see this guy axed, but I can see why they'd want to keep him. Perhaps he holds enough specific technical knowledge that they have to keep him.

What I'm unclear on is why Bernardo can't be invited back. Was his account deleted in such a way that it's unrecoverable? If so, they're keeping someone who deleted potentially months of a customer's work and data, and claiming it's within reason over one use of the f-bomb.

What if another client's Twitter account is hacked? This policy sounds like an open invite to malicious third parties.
I don't understand how you get involved with a client like this and never take payment. Care to explain? Curious as I don't freelance. Surely you take a deposit upfront and vet the client?
GPUs are data parallel machines. Cilk has support for both task and data parallelism. The task parallel constructs in Cilk wouldn't make much sense on GPUs.

I doubt it. It's probably that the software is looking at the map from last week, and the weeks before instead the person deciding that finding the map from last week is too much of a pain in the ass. Not to mention having to coordinate with the other officers so they don't all stake out the same parking lot. I'd bet the software is mostly doing things people would do them selves if they had the energy, patience, and organizational skills to do so.
Is Google’s Motorola buy the only way to save Android?
Let's see:

It takes 5kW/h to produce a cubic meter of fresh water from sea water via reverse osmosis.[0] The population of just LA is a bit over 3 million.[1] The average U.S. citizen consumes 2842 cubic meters of water per year.

5 kWh/m^3 * 8765 h/year * 3,000,000 people * 2842 m^3/person-year = 4863662 kW = 4863 MW.

I will conservatively estimate that a nuclear power plant will produce 800 MW.[3] So:

4863 MW / 800 MW/plant = 6

That means we're talking about six full-size nuclear power plants running 24/7 with their entire energy output going toward desalinization to supply LA alone.

Extrapolating further, I get that it would take twenty nuclear power plants running full-time to meet just half of the demand for the entirety of southern California.

Does that answer your question?

(I know my sources aren't all that authoritative--they are just what Google pulled up. Feel free to redo the calculations with more accurate numbers, or just to double-check my arithmetic.)

T-Mobile Pulls An AT&T: The Too Good To Be True Plan
Scott Kessler, the S&P equity analyst, gave an interview about the downgrade to Bloomberg West today:

http://www.bloomberg.com/video/74044556/

His justification was as follows:

1) Google will not be able to close the deal by early 2012.

2) Current related litigation is not helped.

3) No one knows how much protection the patents will add.

4) Moto will have an adverse impact on financials going forward.

At the end of the interview, Kessler comments that Google is making this move with a long-term view, while S&P is "obviously" looking at this transaction on a "micro-basis".
I did the routine vetting on google which pulled up only the good stuff: speaking engagements at conferences like ad:tech and multiple interviews. "Pretty legit guy" I thought.

It wasn't until three returned checks, barrage of excuses and threats that I came out of my delusion and realized the guy is a scumbag. A true scumbag: the original client that his agency was hired by had paid the agency--probably several times what was owed to me. And yet, the schmuck owner of the agency thought it'd be better to cheap me than pay me my fair slice of what he made.
Since a lot of contract work is time-sensitive, waiting for payment to clear before starting work or handing over an initial milestone might not be an option.

Sums up my life as a contractor. The most profitable projects were also the most time-sensitive(the start now types).

Then again, I sucked at this. And so I took my first full-time job.
I have that phone. I run an Android 2.3.4 mod for it. I now get several days worth of battery life, multitouch and a very smooth responsive UI. That phone has proven to be a very hackable device and there have been some GREAT roms released in the last few months for that aging hardware.
Interesting, well I've been really kicking a at the role in a big tech company in silicon valley, but it's killing me to work in such a large company. What this may mean is that there is room for the role only in super large orgs that are splintering.. a pity b/c I personally can't stand working in them. Hmm anyway thanks!
> Guess it pays to have an R & D lab and a few lawyers.

For a long time they outsourced their R&D to Apple. Guess it's no longer that easy these days. Their lawyers, however, have consistently been top-notch.

> So currently it's a release by release open source system, and not purely open.

You need to look up the meaning of free and open source software. You have the code Google released, you can use it for whatever you want, improve it and redistribute it. It's, therefore, free. You may prefer to let Google do all the heavy lifting for you and then get the software for free, but that's the free Ballmer intentionally uses to create confusion with free software - it means "gratis" - and had nothing to do with your freedoms.
I'm not convinced that Google doesn't know the manufactoring nor device game. For one, they have designed and provisioned their own servers, racks, and data centers for "ever." As well, they have had their hands in building out both Nexus devices.
Thanks, I would suggest that people skills are already my number one talent. But then that doesn't mean I shouldn't work on further optimizing those skills does it?
I would like to remind people that contacting us with abusive e-mail messages is in fact illegal and we will be taking the appropriate steps to forward these messages and information gathered to both the relevant ISP’s and law enforcement agencies. Sadly it is the people who post such messages that are causing me to disable comments on this blog post.

Having to disable comments on your conciliatory blog post is a sign that you should go back and make it more conciliatory.
Absolutely correct. Anyone who tells you that HIPAA requires you to do XYZ is full of shit. The difficulty with HIPAA is that it sets a very basic framework that you have to fill in with your own policies and procedurs. How strictly you follow your own procedures is what will get you in hot water.

I have a variant of that Huawei phone charging in front of me. The battery life is appalling - It is charged twice a day. Luckily there are android mods that have multitouch integrated back into the rom.

However I paid €25 for it on prepay after a rebate from my operator. An incredibly inexpensive device!
I'm old enough that I want to say stuff like: well some people have families and such, essentially "get off my lawn", but everything in this blog rings true to me.

When I was young, I essentially had 2 jobs at one place. There were the billing hours that kept us in business and the after-hours stuff were I really learned stuff. I was single and I spent many hours arguing/practicing/learning from my peers. This was not like the situation described at github. If I consider the billing hours and the other stuff, I generally worked more than 40 hours. But the "other stuff" was fun, it was me geeking out. When I was not on assignment I did more of the "other stuff."

Right now I have a bit of flexibility. I don't force myself to work at a particular time, I find I do much better work if I do so when I feel like doing it. I still have several jobs. I have my full-time job, where I have to work hours. While I'm compensated like I'm full time, I am not 100% scheduled. This gives me time to write, work on the side, watch topgear.

That is an interesting challenge. How can a consulting company that bills by the hour not force a schedule? It turns out if you are a body shop, you've unnecessarily coupled your organization to the implementation of the customer. While that may be common, that doesn't make the "right" or "best", it's just the shit companies do.

I hope you guys manage to find the right size that lets you keep this culture. If you just try to do good stuff and enjoy yourself that's great. If someone wants to sell the company or make lots of $$, woe be it to the employee.

Congratulations on having a great environment.
I don't think you can get more obvious in this day and age than adding "with computers" or "on the internet" to mundane, centuries-old ideas like "showing people things similar to what they are shopping for".

To be honest, I think your argument supports the abolition of patents more than you think it does. EVERY idea was built on the back of previous ideas. "Novelty" is only a matter of degree, and subjective degree at that.
