Good for them. More people need to reject this archaic sexist tradition. Legal enforcement of the fantasy notion of "true love for life" is damn near barbaric.

If you and your partner can swing it, more power to you, but social pressure on others to place themselves into legally binding situations revolving around this notion is something that need to die.

In the west (at least the states) these are legally binding arrangements that are heavily biased against males, but if women are rejecting that in Asia then all the better.

There's Textile, but its handling of blockquotes and code samples is much less convenient than Markdown. Github's wiki used to use Textile, and it sucked.
A lot of these features remind me of what mozilla is trying to do with browserID (https://browserid.org/)
IIRC, 100en stores are a lot more legit than their American counterparts. Same thing with convenience stores. In America, even the poor are reluctant to visit dollar stores because the wares are so sketchy. But all my Japanese friends were avid devotees of the 100en store and combini.
This project is just too cool and looks like a great way to get exposed to different libraries. Also sounds like a great idea for a competition website.
Good thing. But being gay this never bothers me.
The inferior OS will have better support going forward, and a more impressive library of applications right now?

WebOS might be better now, but definitely not in a year.
EveryDNS was the best. I switched last week to Rackspace Cloud DNS which, as best I can tell, is free(ish).

The DNS manager is hidden away within Hosting -> Cloud Servers -> (any random server) but accepts arbitrary records. No promises here that the records live on when you delete your last Rackspace Cloud instance.

Kudos to CloudFlare for offering export tools despite obstacles.

It's niche, but studios pay billions a year to market movies. That's not a small market.
I'd love to try WebOS, but the prospects of it having rich app support over the next 2 years are quite a bit lower than for Android.

A chance to try WebOS, with Android as a backup, would make this price a no-brainer. If it's just WebOS, well, then, I can make-do with my existing iPad.
George Gilder's "Naked Nomad's" is a great book studying single men in America. Unmarried men own the majority of bad statistical categories to be in. Higher death, suicide, crime, and disease rates. No society wants that burden.
I was at a golf store that had an outside tent with a computer to register for their mailing list. I noticed it was in php and started looking at the source to see what it was using. The employee who saw me wasn't happy, but it was pretty harmless.
I must've emailed that to a 100 people by now. Thank you so much for this gem!
I think the whole reason is that it isn't always showing on the page; it's hidden behind a shortcut. If the find bar was always visible like the address bar, I'm sure more users would use the find feature.

It kind of rankles when I hear people say HP is a "printer company" (I know you also said "/hardware', but still). You could just as reasonably call them a "calculator company". They're also the company behind the PA-RISC. When people lament the lost engineering culture at HP, they're not feeling bad for the printers.

As someone who has been involved in software for a long time (since I was a kid), of course I love to read news like this.

Having said that, I noticed that in almost all Hollywood futuristic-theme movies, software (or any ground-breaking inventions that usually found with the help more advanced software/hardware) tend to cause problems that forces humans to destroy them and put humans back to the world pre-software.

I hope that would never happen but looking at the trend that whatever Hollywood producers imagine usually come true (even though it may take 5-10 years since the movie is out) in real life makes me scared sometime when I read news like this.
I say this all the time: the best advice I was given about going out in the working world is "the bar is lower than you think".

Any person genuinely interested in their work will ALWAYS think they are less capable than they actually are. It's human nature. This is because someone who truly respects their craft is of course going to be humbled by it. I know that I know nothing sort of thing. I'd argue that the absolute top tier world class developers are the some of the most humble. Of course there are outliers but I think humility is a requisite quality of true mastery for the most part.

What does this mean?

It means your background doesn't matter. If you are motivated to do your best and ready and willing to work hard and learn and improve then you are already better off than 90% of the workforce out there.

Every company has their own processes so many times it not really about what you know but how eager you are to learn.

Companies hire for character not necessarily for current knowledge. I've seen with my own eyes people get hired for ruby jobs that did not know a lick of ruby. They come from php backgrounds etc.

So fwiw and this is just my experience as a web application developer with no formal education :
It's not about what you know, its about your desire to learn, your motivation, and your character attributes that count.

Be genuinely motivated to better yourself, ALWAYS convey your desire for personal excellence, and you will never have a problem finding a job.

Best of luck.

Your comment is so odd that I think people are reading it as facetious. People in the target market for a dollar store will generally have an easier time finding a dollar store than finding or using an app related to dollar stores. It's a bit like suggesting that Silicon Valley startups should buy ads in community newspapers. The interests just don't align.
I think Josef Müller-Brockmann predates those two by just a bit :)
It's already out on the 'deal sites' with thousands of comments and over a million views. People are buying them through HP Academy and HP EPP. Amazon had the lower price briefly then went back to $398, probably sold out whoever offered it at less instantly. The 16GB is already sold out at HP direct. By 7AM they won't have any 32GB left to sell either.

Edit: HP.com sold out of all models in around half an hour. Every other store that had it at the reduced price sold out in minutes. I suppose it's impossible, but gotta wonder if anyone at HP will be reconsidering the decision to dispose of WebOS when their TouchPads are sold out nationwide in less than a day.

In terms of single sign-in, BrowserID is more advanced, but also more complex.

The single sign-in in Browsr does not require any email address. You simply need a username and a password. And while third-parties can implement Browsr for a seamless sign in experience, they don't HAVE to. Users can save username/passwords for each of their services and Browsr logs them in automatically, making it useful from the get go.
Honest question: What's the difference between this and Chrome with the profile switcher enabled, minus the auto-URL bar hiding? It seems very similar to me.

Don't know if this is intentional, but I really like the use of she in reference to the user in the blogpost. I've never seen that before and it's very refreshing, seemingly valorizing the user as if they were a country or a vessel. Consider it "borrowed"; thank you.

On a crude statistical basis children born out of wedlock don't fare too well either, yet the Economist article paints them as some kind of Western demographic advantage.

I haven't read the book so I wouldn't know whether the Gilder successfully separates cause from effect when examining unmarried men, but extrapolating his conclusions to Asia may be difficult anyway. On the one hand it may be rather more socially unacceptable to be unmarried over a certain age in Asia but on the other, unmarried men at the bottom of the social pile will perhaps be heartened by the relative prevalence and social acceptability of the sex industry. Then you have the vast differences between crime and suicide rates in general.

Do what they do in other civilized countries like France... allow non-marriage unions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacte_civil_de_solidarité

The union isn't just for same-sex couples, but also for non-standard families like say siblings w.o parents and such... it would be perfect as it eschews traditional mores and keeps the good part of marriages.
Even more so, it was pretty much common knowledge at the time. It was just that there was lots of money to be made, and people always want to believe they won't be the ones to lose out in the pyramid scheme.

Sure, the speed and the impact of the bubble bursting was a bit of a shock, but the bubble itself was pretty obvious.
Whether or not marriage as an institution is biased against males or females (honestly, it seems to be biased against both) I am always astounded by people who see no value whatsoever in marriage.

America is practically founded on capitalism. How can you understand specialization & its benefits, and not see how marriage (well, used to) makes use of it?

Yes, if marriage was just about pretending "True Love is real, and the world is full of roses and daisies!" it would be a ridiculous sham. But as I have come to see it, it is more about facing the world as a "team". In larger groups (that is to say, extended family, all composed of marriage links), perhaps even as a "tribe"... think about that.

(Not to mention, kids are a thing we kind of need as a species, and I think most everyone is familiar with the plight of single parents)

Ask HN: Why can't Microsoft make a better browser?
Basically I want to know why IE, mainly the rendering engine, seems so fundamentally broken compared to the competition.

I'm sure the IE dev team are awesome developers, but it seems like each IE release is significantly behind other major browsers, and attracts the ire and hatred of web devs around the world.

Surely the IE team is aware of the complaints against IE, and the multitude of cool things that just don't work properly even in the newer versions of IE.

What's stopping them from focusing on supporting the features devs want, or rivalling other browsers in compatibility, or just straight up use webkit or something similar?

"London School of Economics sociologist Catherine Hakim's research shows that when both paid work and unpaid duties such as housework, care and voluntary work are taken into account, men do pull their own weight."
Like everything else, it's good to have diversity. Like you say, it is too socially and possibly legally costly to discuss openly other arrangements. The pressures need to relax to allow other lifestyles blossom.

It's not about being able to talk about it on the Internet or with friends. Imagine the hacker who has a business and unusual lifestyle. Can she be open with it without fear of judgment from investors and the community? I like to think she can, but I'm not so sure. Even if so, does that hold on a more general level?
Really? I see she used all the time. It doesn't necessarily valorize anything; it's just like using he for a hypothetical user.

I don't find most of the UI beautiful or elegant, most of it was too dark and reminded me of those first ugly mobile Linux GUIs , some of WebOS is quite well-designed, pretty, and usable, though.

The big issue for me is how long it took to load things, be they apps, websites, or search results. Whereas, the iPad 2 does everything just about instantaneously, it was a 3 second wait for anything to happen on the TouchPads. Those 3 second lags really add up on annoyance after a little while.

I wanted to believe, but in the end, it seems I was right.

I disagree. If we want our society to take full advantage of the technology, we need to remove the training wheels and ditch the tired old half-assed and extremely limited metaphors.

It's time we started using technology like adults, instead of children. The UI may be far from perfect, but the end user is the bottleneck here.

The ctrl-F issue is a perfect example: the problem is not that people don't know the key combination or that the UI is bad, the problem is the they can not imagine such blatantly obvious functionality would be there in the first place. If they did, they would have found the damn keys/icons/gestures, no matter how obscure.

Dear webOS developer:

We have opened the next chapter for webOS, and we understand that you must have many questions. Yesterday we announced that we will focus on the future of webOS as a software platform but we will no longer be producing webOS devices. While this was a difficult decision, it's one that will strengthen our ability to focus on further innovating with webOS as we forge our path forward. Throughout this journey, our developers will continue to be a vital part of the future of webOS.

I feel genuinely sorry for these people - the WebOS team within HP. I'm assuming they knew nothing until the news was made public, and it must hurt like hell to have to compose an email like this (and then have PR sanitise it)

Welcome to my inbox. Things that got taught the same day at Ctrl-F: the file system metaphor, right clicking, refreshing web pages, copy/pasting, taking screenshots, attaching files, and reading (or copy/pasting) error messages. The difference between web pages, programs, and email. The notion that computers behave in a predictable manner and that experiences on them are connected to each other across individual tasks.
"But as I have come to see it, it is more about facing the world as a "team". In larger groups (that is to say, extended family, all composed of marriage links), perhaps even as a "tribe"... think about that."

I agree! Why do those links have to be marital? I'm not sure they have to be. Which is why the we need to be more open.
Sorry let me explain -- I'm not talking about a lack of marriage, but lack of a stable union. The incentive to "give up" is so much stronger when you can just leave when (not "if") life's ubiquitous unpredictable and uncontrollable difficulties arise. So naturally there's a much greater chance of not having that positive environment...
Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability at Google Appspot
They key to WP7 is that it's a competitor to Android. Apple iOS is not available to OEMs, but Android and WP7 is. If handset OEMs do not have a second choice, they'll have a single external dependency on Google and Google will use it to push them around or Google might screw it up really bad. It's in the OEMs best interest for WP7 to at least become somewhat successful so they themselves have a second option.
Maybe the Philippines and Indonesia don't represent most of Asia, but illegitimacy has become a very obvious problem in the last decade there. The only reason divorce is not more common is because an annulment in the Philippines represents an astronomically prohibitive barrier for most citizens.
Secure URLs can show a lock icon in the tab.

Phishing is a more serious concern, and its something I'm thinking hard about. Black-lists might be part of the solution. Another solution might be be displaying the URL bar only when the website has form fields for usernames, passwords, or payment info, but it might be easy to trick the browser.

I might end up adding a separate URL bar if I can't find a feasible solution

Actually the first trend of delayed marriage age is now very much evidence in India. Working professionals are marrying at quite a late age - 35 for boys and 30 for girls is now very common. This is very quickly going to turn into the rejection of marriage trend mentioned in the article. So in case of India it is only a question of when not if.

Compared to what else you can buy for $50 (not a single comparably sized tablet I know of), you still wouldn't find it worthwhile? It's fair to compare it to an iPad 2 at its original price, but at $99 that's not what it has to beat.
This seems inevitable, and positive. There are some friends of mine who dislike the resulting job shedding and concentration of wealth; I am not quite sure how that will shake out.

It will be interesting to see if today's 'software' disruptors will themselves disrupted by software. Today's revolution seems to me, a changing of the guard from the massive inefficient people-driven gatekeeper to the massive and lean software-driven gatekeeper. I wonder if the evolution of this will lead to decentralization and eventual diminution of today's usurpers?
