As a sighted person, I don't have much use for it, but I think it would be interesting to see it in action.

The fact that it's built on an Arduino also means that anyone with an idea can hack up a new version of it and try their idea. Amazing.

Excellent point. The first version of my software was released under Windows 3.1, and had to run acceptably on a 90 MHz PC. It's come a long way since, but the core algorithms are still in use, and they scream on today's gear.
That's sort of confusing. In a number of places I've read an explanation that what is described in the Wikipedia article as "Mid-Atlantic English" was in fact higher class New York English before WWII (one of its most characteristic features was a non-rhotic "r"). These sources also tend to use Franklin Delano Roosevelt as an example of this sort of accent.

For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_dialect#History (that article quotes the

> Facebook SSL: Optional and not default

Not only is it not the default, but it's hard to keep enabled for a good chunk of users. If you try to go to an app page[1], for example, you will be informed that SSL cannot be used. To continue, you need to disable SSL not only on pages that app uses, but the entire site. It doesn't get re-enabled when you leave the app.

[1] I don't know that this is true for all app pages, but it's definitely true for at least one of the most popular apps on Facebook.

That's pretty close to how the first NVIDIA GPGPU (G80) worked. There was no cache, but only different kinds of memory, of which one was as fast as registers. Optimal access to RAM memory was possible with a limited set of access patterns, so "caching" had to be managed carefully manually.

In later GPUs they (mainly due to programmer laziness :-) ) switched to a more GPU-like automatically managed general purpose cache. The problem was that in most cases, being able to quickly write code that is reasonably fast was more important to developers than being able to squish out every cycle (though I believe it's still possible to disable the cache and manage it manually...)

The problem with automatic cache is the same as all "intelligent" CPU features, the CPU tries to predict what the program is doing, the programmer has to predict what the CPU will predict to optimize for that CPU. In the next generation of the CPU, the CPU vendor will try to optimize again for programs currently around. In the end, optimizing becomes much more complex.

There's certainly an advantage to keeping the logic "dumb" and simply having the software manage everything.

Thanks, but your comment is so hard to follow. I've heard that interview before, and just listened to the ten minute clip you linked. Nowhere did I hear the name Jesus. What is this "Jesus: ..." thing you've got up there, a quote? From whom? Also, the Rose interview was while he's alive, so what's with "...and it seems tired to point out his depression, suicide, etc..."? Who are you ellipsising?

"Unfortunately, not all of these headers are supported in all browsers, meaning any of you still using IE6 won’t be able to take advantage of these headers."

That would be a plausible explanation for the fact that they use a user-agent based whitelisting. If one's protections rely on client-side features, it's a bit more understandable (though I still find it a bit weak) to try to enforce use of a browser that implements them.

From a previous discussion on it http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2027691 here's a quote from Gabriel:

I first inquired about it on 11/4/09. After several attempts, I got back a response "from management" on 3/25/10 that they didn't want to sell it. Understandable.

I generally use virtual machines for testing, however, you can sometimes run into problems with this. For example: I recently discovered a javascript / flash interaction bug in IE that only exists in a VM environment. In the past, I've run into strange IE css rendering bugs in a VM as well. These are really few and far between, but they do happen, and have been documented issues with virtualized environments. If you are testing on a VM and you run into a bug that just doesn't make any sense, try running it on a real box with the exact same setup.
That it's built on top of Android is definitely the most exciting part.

For the record, at dotCloud we are big fans of 0mq but a lot of these comments are legitimate. The doc is not always clear or up-to-date, the code is extremely opaque to outsiders, and as a result a lot of the "20+" bindings are in fact wrappers around the reference C++ implementation - which is a problem for asynchronous runtimes such as NodeJS.

This doesn't necessarily justify an incompatible fork - but seeing these issues addressed in such a dismissive fashion is a little worrying.

I've used this strategy for a long time, mainly because the target platforms were often low powered PCs or DSPs. At one one company which I worked for not so long ago I was asked on a few occasions whether I wanted a newer PC, and I repeatedly said "no".

I'm not advocating luddism, but if you use a computer which is a few years old and make some dumb mistakes then the performance penalty is big and immediately obvious at the development stage, whereas on the latest hardware with multiple CPU cores it might not be so obvious and then turns into a crisis during deployment.

I'm sure you're quite right and the IEEE link makes oodles of sense, but for people examining notions of creativity in computational intelligence (for example), the idea of these chips is quite attractive.

In fact, I remember programming ANNs in horribly non-distributed C paradigms, and even PureData objects trying to come up with non-garbage computer music in the 90's and thinking we needed precisely the kind of chip they're trying to engineer.

This, and the advent of HTMs and other non-ANN ways of going about it, mean that chips that handle distributed processing for applications that model human creativity (which is necessarily about concurrent time-based activities), are a -good- thing no matter what the degree of success, IMHO.

I've been a print&digital subscriber for a while and wanted to move to a digital only version. It's nice to have a piece of paper to read, but I realized that since I could read/download the pdf version before I would receive the print magazine, the latter would just end up in a pile taking space. With the popularity of cheap (HP) tablets, I see no reason not to save a few trees to consume periodicals and books. Ideally I wouldn't mind of using affordable high resolution color e-ink though...
I'm confused by the quote of number of pixels required to match the eyes resolution. I don't see a definition of the size of a pixel in that calculation? Though the whole thing seems way to thorough for them to have missed that, so I'm assuming I misunderstood.
"I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances.

But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gorged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see."

I don't think it's possible to come up with universally valid selection criteria.

Some projects are purely design-driven, the site just needs to look great (say, for a fuzzy image campaign), and that's simply the job that the client needs to get done.

Other projects (and I like to believe the majority of launches) are clearly business driven and the site needs to accomplish specific goals to meet strategic objectives. In that case, OPs approach makes a lot of sense.
I completely disagree, and so does Ryanair.

Competing on price is entirely possible and feasible. What it boils down to is understanding how that affects your positioning (i.e. being known to compete on price) and how that affects your value proposition (if your only value add is price, then you're commoditising your productivity).

To put it another way, Ryanair compete on price and routinely gouge their customers, but they still have them. EasyJet competed initially on price without (initially) gouging customers and took large sections of the UK domestic and short-haul business market. British Airways are now struggling to keep afloat as their cost structure is no longer competitive.

If you're going to compete on price you need to have some very rational and thought out plans as to how you intend to compete on price and for how long. When we started doing penetration tests in Local Authorities at Mandalorian (where Local Authorities have been told to cut around %20 in costs overall) we deliberately sold at a lower rate in order to capture specific key councils in specific regions, so we could use them as case studies to go after the rest in that region. It didn't fundamentally affect us (other than not being sexy work) as what we lost in profit we made up for in volume. Now we have sufficient presence in that market to bring our prices back up to what the market will bear, and we have a good pricing strategy to boot with a low cost base.

At 44Con we originally didn't have a hotel to host the event (or speakers for that matter), but needed to raise funds for the deposit. We started selling early bird tickets at a discounted rate in order to raise funds instead of taking a loan from the bank, and it was much more successful. That, combined with sponsor funding has meant that we'll be in a better position next year to enter venue negotiations for the next 44Con.

The bottom line is that as a startup you won't have a brand and competing on price is a potential route to revenue while you have a low cost base. If you're close to ramen profitable but need revenue quickly, lowering your prices can work as a strategy providing your volume increases and you know what your costs are (and aren't making a loss in the process, at least unless you have cash to burn). Competing on pricing in an established market is absolutely the right thing to do and the easiest way to disrupt while your MVP is still being built or has only just shipped.

> How many pixels are needed to match the resolution of the human eye? Each pixel must appear no larger than 0.3 arc-minute. Consider a 20 x 13.3-inch print viewed at 20 inches. The Print subtends an angle of 53 x 35.3 degrees, thus requiring 5360/.3 = 10600 x 3560/.3 = 7000 pixels
Mobile operators normally keep text message logs for a short period of time (a few hours or days depending on the operator). After that, they usually keep a CDR (Call detail records, which is information about the subscriber billing activities kept by Network operators) with data such as the time of the text message and the originator and destination of the message. But for privacy purposes the complete logs with the content are no longer available.
Regarding matters such as lawsuits I know that text messages can be shown as evidence during the course of a trial in some countries, however, I am not sure when it is legal to get in touch with the operators to get SMS records from a particular user and for the phone companies to show their records for legal purposes to certain parties. I believe this also will depend on the country and legislation applicable.

Saturday morning I drove to some stores looking for one. At Staples they said that they weren't selling them and that corporate told them to return them.

Waited outside Best Buy for about 25 minutes with 15 other people and same thing.

Radio Shack had them in the back room, but they hadn't marked them down.

THEN the next day Best Buy and Staples have them marked down on the web. I randomly go to bestbuy.com that morning and buy a 32GB mere minutes before they sell out.

I'm really curious as to why the stores changed their mind. If the employees on Saturday are to be believed, corporate didn't want to sell them at a reduced rate and just wanted to return them for refund to HP. What did HP say to convince them to mark down the Touchpads?

And Staples had an additional $50 instant coupon on the 16GB! Did they drive a hard bargain with HP and forced them to refund to Staples an additional $50 even though they sold them?

Did HP really not want them back that badly? Couldn't they just have them sent back and sell them on HP.com themselves with some kind of actual communication to the public?

It's all very strange and I would love to know the whole story. (I sometimes spend my time pondering such trivial things)
The calculation uses the size of a pixel in arc-minutes (radians). If you specify a pixel size (in m, or cm) then you will need to also specify the eye-pixel distance. Easier to calculate using the arc-minutes size of a pixel.
