"We believe that many of the prominent new Internet companies are building real, high-growth, high-margin, highly defensible businesses."

What about profit? Doesn't ignoring profit (the article only mentions it in the context of Apple despite name dropping some other wildly unprofitable businesses) sort of suggest that maybe we are in fact making at least some of the same mistakes as the last bubble?

It is legally possible to "wave away" your right to privacy. It is somewhat analogous to commercializing your "personality" by giving someone the right to advertise with your name.

However the European data protection standard demands "informed consent", the user needs to be able to understand the scope of his own decision:

Which data is captured and to what purpose? Do third parties get access, to what purpose? To which countries does data get sent and what are the risks associated with it? Will your data be possibly combined with data from other sources to build a more complete profile?

If it is impossible to answer these questions from the information given in the privacy policy etc., you do not have "informed consent" according to the European data protection standards. There also has to be a technical option present to "revoke" your consent for the future.

At the present moment, there is in fact no real solution to use the Facebook-Like button in Germany in a way that is compliant with data protection law. At least I couldn't finde one when I had to write a "memo" for a law firm. However it is somewhat possible to shield the owner of the website from liability.

There's probably already a dozen different ways to do this with Emacs, with context sensitivity depending on how hard you try, what language you use, and if you're prepared to suffer CEDET.

It's so well made, you can already be using it in the future, in the present.

Is this related to the hardware identifiers? When you sync any mobile Apple device to a computer it keeps some data, such as phone numbers, IMEI numbers and what I think is the UDID, which is all the ipod has. We need some replacement, if only to help the police track stolen ipods.
Also, if I recall correctly, all of these vital keystrokes, ctrl c, x z etc are from a commercial product called Wordstar, which first implemented them - I think.

Can I get any feedback on that, please?

An interesting article, however the trend described might be a superficial one. Replace "software" with "paper" and the same arguments could be made for the economy 100 years or more ago. That indicates that the real driving force is something more fundamental (productivity is mentioned several times here) that could result in software being replaced with something better.

>This is what I want, and therefore I try to find theories to support that.

It is easy to find theories to support anything you want, look at all religions and other pre-scientific belief systems. It is facing reality, whether or not it supports your beliefs, that is hard. And that is something only modern, Western-derived civilizations have ever even come close to achieving.
I personally think being liberal in what you accept from others is the second worst evil in computer science. The worst being null, of course.
The problem here is that you can't change the standard, even you know that it states a silly thing or doesn't state an important one.

You're writing a standard at the time when you know the least about how and why the thing you spec would be used. You can't get it right (you still can do "mostly right"), but you desperately need to sneak some fixes.

So yes, you should have hot-fixes to standards just for those cases. One would state that the response of 302 for POST/PUT/DELETE should unconditionally trigger GET.
And it should be in the spec years ago.

And no, you can't just "increment version number". Realistically you can't, pretending you can is silly too.

There is the same problem with laws: you first pass them, then you discover some flaws but no easy way to patch.

What IF Apple Buys Amazon?
In its most recent (Q3 2011) financial report, Apple Inc (AAPL) put its reserves at $76.4bn. As of today (8/19/2011), Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) has market capitalization of $81.22bn. It is not at all impossible for Apple to buy Amazon. I can think of the following benefits.

First, iCloud can leverage AWS. Apple does not need to reinvent or relearn the data center management again. AWS itself is a fast-growning profitable business. With AAPL services running on it, the AWS brand will also get reinforced.

Second, Jeff Bezos can replace Steve Jobs as the CEO of AAPL. According to Gruber, Jeff Bezos is the best potential outside successors. I agree with him on this.

Third, combining AMZN’s online digital content retailer business, AAPL can dominate the market. The company will have more power in negotiating with content publishers.

What is your thoughts on the potential acquisition?

I don't have source handy, but I remember reading that the middle and upper classes had sub-replacement fertility in the late Roman Empire. You need to investigate differences within societies too. In pre-modern times there was a much more significant break, both culturally and militarily, between the upper (and middle where they existed) and the lower classes (which were often effectively slaves, even if not called that).
That's not actually sufficient to show unique extrema; there an be a set of points on which a function achieves the same, maximal, value.

i.e. cos(x) over x <- [0,4π] -- multiple maxima at {0,2π,4π}.

But we don't really need unique extrema here. Oversight on my part -- there can be (although I believe there aren't) multiple optimal panel orientations. Then the optimal array is an array with each panel having any one of the optimal orientations.

That is totally uncalled for. I am sure you can and should articulate your differences with a lot less sarcasm, and a lot more substance.
Your assumption is correct, I am European.

I don’t feel comfortable to discuss private things in public, but I will state some facts. In my social circle there were 8 marriages between Japanese (all women) and foreigners. 4 ended in the past 3 years and were mainly attributed to different expectations of intimacy. The article http://goo.gl/QlAfx gives a very good description. I am unable to find a reputable source, but if you search for the frequency of intercourse, Japan will always be the lowest on the list. Japanese simply don’t want / need to have sex. Furthermore mentioning that you “love” someone is very uncommon. Frequent physical contact (e.g. hugging) with spouses / kids is not expected. It is a different culture.

No, results specific to solar panel orientation. Math is not trivial at all, but the results are intuitive: roughly, point the panel in the direction which, in mean, is in the direction of the sun. So tilted towards the equator, at the same angle as your latitude.

http://www.nrel.gov/rredc/pvwatts/changing_parameters.html#t...

"The default value is a tilt angle equal to the station's latitude. This normally maximizes annual energy production. Increasing the tilt angle favors energy production in the winter, and decreasing the tilt angle favors energy production in the summer."

(Couldn't find a clear proof of this (under any modelling assumptions), sorry.)

A unique optimum isn't really necessary here (I shouldn't have required it!)

Wack a mole type games have long gone out of style here. At theme parks, mini golf places etc there used to be many hands on versions of them,. Now everyone just want's to shoot stuff. Reason why even in video games, the wack a mole ordeal is pretty much 2 generations out of date.

My suggestion, is make it so you have to shoot the critters etc with a gun (or, less violent, with say a lazer gun/beam). Just my idea though. I'm sure others will chime in. It looks like you have done a pretty good job.

If you want to stick with the wack em game, without shooting etc, you could always make different artwork. Like wack it, Jersey Shore style, or Real Wrold wack it,.

Your third benefit is why it would get blocked on anti-trust grounds.
One of your links http://goo.gl/QlAfx is interesting, because it states what "marriage" means. Western means love, eastern means children.

I was confused, because here (Germany) a marriages have financial advantages (less taxes). Having children is the expensive thing. So i wondered, why someone would reject a marriage for financial reasons. However, if marriage means children, then i understand the rejection.
I deleted my comment before I knew you were writing a reply.

My comment originally said that I think there's two ways of exploring the world.

1. Start with a conclusion you want to be true and looking for evidence that supports your view, or

2. Start by gathering facts and trying to find conclusions in them.

You write:

> This is what I want, and therefore I try to find theories to support that.

Right. I think that view fundamentally leads to disastrously bad places. It leads to assuming you're correct and looking for confirmation instead of truth.

Truth is often unpleasant. Confirmation is easily found, even for the stupidest and craziest arguments - look at some of the clearly insane views that people hold with no backing.

Why do they think that way? Because they start with the idea that they're right and look to prove that. It's easy to prove you're right, especially if your views are the norm in your community.

It's much harder to say, "What if I'm wrong?" and to constantly seek out counter-arguments and test your views.

Everyone has views that are wrong, mistaken, poorly informed, and counter-productive. The challenge of becoming an informed person is challenging your views constantly - even your sacred ones - looking for smarter arguments.

It's difficult and stressful. I can't even recommend it if your goal in life is happiness, because if you succeed then everyone in your social circle starts to think you're nuts. But ideally, you become gradually less wrong over time and can do a lot of good for the world, even when your views look crazy to people who never stopped and asked, "What if the world isn't the way I thought it was...?"

Show HN: I made an open source iOS HN reader
Hi all, i made an iOS HN reader, so i can read HN nicely on my iphone while pushing my daughter on the swing (she likes going on the swing for a good hour on saturdays... go figure).
Anyway i figured i'd open source it and show it here:

http://splinter.com.au/hacker-news-reader

https://github.com/chrishulbert/HackerNewsReader

And its on the app store if you couldn't be bothered firing up xcode:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news-reader/id457519010?ls=1&mt=8

Anyway, hopefully someone out there can learn something looking at the code. There seems to be a dearth of example code / foss code from actual proper apps out there. Have a nice weekend all!

Is it UTF-32LE or UTF-32BE?

The good thing about UTF-8 is that you don't have to choose.
This is unnecessary. There's already been a lot of discussion about it on HN, with much the same conclusions. All this is doing is adding to the noise.

It's certainly not kind to an intelligent and curious 13-year-old who just happened to become the online media-darling-du-jour.
I love tools like this. I was using a mongoDB one the other day which was pretty nice, too.

No better way to learn than by example, and you can take a lot more from it than reading a 20-odd page tutorial.

This may be a matter of opinion, but I think the order in which new concepts are introduced could be tweaked. You're first introduced to string literals. Then variables are introduced. Then it's back to string literals. Then some variables. Then a tiny bit on numbers which suddenly shifts back to string literals in the same lesson.

It seems that introducing the concept of variables is a little premature in those first four lessons considering they're rarely, if at all, manipulated, and aren't applied consistently enough to really understand what they're for.
Agree, this is why html ended up being the mess it is today. Because every browser wanted it their way and then every other browser and website has to implement things both their own way and everybody elses to not break the Internet.

I don't have an iPhone so I'm not able to try the game itself, but here's my thoughts.

I think there's nothing wrong with the game--it looks fine to me.

It's possible that people are put off by the name: "Thick Lips" sounds like it might be a racist slur against black (African) people.

More likely--and I really hope I don't sound too harsh--is the writing on your advertising. You are more than good enough at English to communicate clearly--I never had any trouble understanding what you were trying to say.

Unfortunately, the grammar is just enough "off" that it's clearly written by someone who is not a native speaker. (You make some small mistakes that native speakers rarely make, but you don't make any of the mistakes that native speakers usually do.)

Worse for you, most people in the U.S. have basically been trained that anything on the internet written by someone in Africa or Asia is probably a scam. Even if you convince them that it's not a scam, people in the U.S. seem to associate Chinese companies with low-quality products.

The good news is that you are already 90% of the way there. As I said before, your writing is clear and easy to understand. This is good because professional translators are expensive. :-) You just need to get a native speaker of American English to polish your writing.

I would suggest going to the English-language Google page (google.com, not google.cn or whatever you use locally) and searching for "copy editor". (In this context, "copy" means any writing that is meant for advertising.) In the advertisements on the right, I get several services that specialize in writing and editing for websites and advertisements.

Out of those, the sites I looked at were definitely built by people with above-average English skills. If they can edit and fix things by native speakers, they can definitely help you!

Good luck!

Yeah, selection bias. Not just shiftless hobos, either. As a man you're going to have a harder time finding a wife if you're sick or have unhealthy habits (like obesity or heavy drinking).

He rather lost me at first two points.

I don't hear a lot of complaints from the Python or Ruby camps about how much they desperately miss static typing. It would have to be via a seriously 'get out of my way' type-inference for me to want to allow all that ugly back into the language.

And point 2. Performance? Again - don't hear much complaining about this for the vast majority of applications. I rarely find the bottlenecks to be in my web language constructs. Most people aren't writing another Twitter.
You may very likely have been right about it in the past, but at least in Europe, two world wars essentially killed any military spirit left -- for everybody. There are no barbarians at the gates, they have all been (mostly) civilized.

With regard to the rest of the western world, I think the kind of large scale war you talk about is permanently over -- both because it would be far too expensive for everybody and because there is no winning a nuclear war.
