I agree with the sentiment, but to play devil's advocate:

Last quarter Verizon had a couple LTE Android handsets. They sold 1.2M LTE devices (both handsets and modems) while they sold 2.3M iPhones. The iPhone 5 will be coming 1-2 quarters later, but a lack of LTE might not be as big a deal for the majority of users as it is for, well, people who read this site. Verizon should be posting third quarter numbers in a month so we'll see if LTE has taken off in device sales since then.

Likewise, many users might appreciate the battery life of not having LTE. I don't like not having the latest technology or the best processor. However, I know that in my laptop my quality of using it would be better served by lower temperatures than the faster processor that I have. Likewise, I know that I would be better served by a longer battery life than faster web access on my phone (again, a personal statement not necessarily applicable to you). Just as it is a hard sell to get a phone that won't have the new technology and be stuck with it for 2 years, it's also a hard sell to get a device with significantly reduced battery life knowing that batteries will lose a good bit of capacity over those two years. And which is going to be more meaningful to your usage? It isn't a rhetorical question as users have different usage patterns.

--

Frankly, it's a little surprising to me that Apple has waited until October to release an update. I understood why a June/July update wouldn't come with LTE. The chipsets that would offer decent battery life were a good 6-9 months out. However, the Qualcomm MDM9615 (which people have been thinking would be the chipset for the first LTE iPhone) is going to be shipping in samples in "late 2011" and volume in early 2012. That makes the timing a bit harsh. Will this iPhone have a lifespan of 6 months after the last one lasted 15 months? I don't think Apple can wait until October 2012 for an LTE iPhone given that better chipsets are coming soon.

You never know what Apple can pull off. With their cash on hand and chip design abilities, it's possible that it will include LTE. While I don't think the current Verizon LTE lineup offers the size/battery life that Apple would demand to go LTE, the chipsets that would allow that are too close for Apple to be releasing an iPhone that will last an entire year. I can see a non-LTE iPhone selling well through 1Q2012 and not costing Apple too much in terms of marketshare. At the same time, I think a non-LTE iPhone would start becoming a hard sell before the 4th quarter of 2012 (a year from this October).

It's why I'm surprised that Apple didn't release a new iPhone on its normal schedule. A non-LTE iPhone then could have been replaced by an LTE iPhone in the March-July 2012 period and not made those who bought the 2011 iPhone feel like they didn't get at least close to a year before it was replaced.

Great news for more quality startups to be founded.
It is interesting that two of the four categories in their analysis can be easily described as "niche usage" and one of the others relies on the mobile web browser. The single most common form of smartphone usage, mobile apps, shows that ad impressions on Android far exceed iPhone. I don't know how you draw usage conclusions from that though.

Is it because the barriers to entry into the Android market are much lower? What about the comparative availability of paid vs. ad-supported apps on Android and iPhone? If the research does indeed show that Android users spend less than iPhone users, is that a reflection on loyalty to the platform or the affluence of the userbase?

So very many variables are completely ignored here that it's hard to fathom how the author believed there was a point to be made.

Although I haven't watched the video:
Why should the mix matter? If the deal was deemed acceptable by the team and their investors, I assume it's because the terms left them comparatively better off. The fact is, they have tackled a need, out-executed others in a certain space, and achieved an exit strategy (nothing wrong with them not wanting to do forms forever). That is a success.

Not everything has to be Google-level transaction to be declared a success.

Ask HN: What is market rate salary?
I am a senior developer. I work with Mule, java, web-services, objective-C, javascript, HTML, jQuery, javascript MVC, SQL, blah, blah, blah. Needless to say, I am a generalist who works in many different technologies. The company I work for is trying to learn how to hire good talent. We are based in Arkansas so cost of living is low, but it is also harder to get talent to come here. My main question is around salary. What is market rate salary? Every job listing on here says they pay market rate? I am just wondering what that is, to find out if I am being compensated correctly. Also, at the company I work for, there are no project bonuses or equity allocations. My salary is all that I get. I will appreciate any useful comments or advice.

Another half assed analysis of Microsoft's Online Services Division.

OSD includes Bing, MSN, Live Mail and Messenger...aka support services they provide to their internal and external customers (e.g. Windows Phone 7 uses Live Mail). It doesn't include profit centers like Xbox Live or their various enterprise level cloud services.

OSD is primarily a cost center for marketing. Microsoft attributes half the value of its goodwill to OSD (US $6B).

[http://www.microsoft.com/investor/EarningsAndFinancials/Earn...]

In addition, it's revenues don't reflect any savings Microsoft realizes by advertising it's own products on it's own ad network or by promoting its own brands on MSN (e.g. stories from MSNBC).

Finally, the value of the data collected by the OSD is not directly reflected as revenue. That data provides Microsoft with insight regarding search, shopping, social networks, news interests, etc.
A comment about "speller". All in all, I like it, especially the clean optics along with nice animations.

1. Looking at the site from Germany, I automatically get German translations. In German, the tool "speller" is called "Buchstabierer". That seems like an overly literal translation. Not that I can come up with a better word, but it strikes me as an unprofessional-sounding choice.

As an aside, this seems to me to be a rather common problem. Many web sites (I imagine) hand a word list to a translator, who then produces the best translations he can find. But if he isn't involved in developing the software, he can't suggest changes to the software that might be necessary to adapt it to another language. I guess my point is that proper internationalization involves more than just a quick translation of a few words. Often I would prefer to be presented with the English version by default, with the choice of opting for my native language.

2. The animation that suggests a different spelling is nice. If I enter "comminciare" when asked for the Italian verb for "to begin", it strikes out the second "m", which makes sense. But not so much if a smaller part of the word was correct. Even if only one or two letters were right -- perhaps I enter "andare" instead of "camminare" -- it ought to strike through the whole thing, instead of falsely suggesting to me that I almost had the right answer.

Fallacy--appeal to anonymous authority. Whose accounts? The people who get paid based on page views?

>It will be a hard sell to get Verizon customers to pass up LTE

Again a fallacious argument and appeal to anonymous authority. Do most customers even know what LTE is AND do they care about it? Is it really a motivating factor in purchasing a phone and what evidence do we have of this?
At this point what does a another 5% do to harm you? 10% of nothing is still nothing, but 10% of something worth while is well... you get the idea.

C++98 Support Costs Extra (or why we should switch to C++11 now)
I read through the electronic portions of HIPAA a while back, and I think that if you were to install a public web server in the doctor's office, run some type of forms engine on it, and use SSL, that you could get close to satisfying the IT portion of the requirements.

I think it would also be necessary to leave the customer with written procedures for managing server access.

Clearly this is very involved and not scaleable, but if anyone here is considering setting up intake forms for a medical office, take a look at OpenEMR, they just received modular ONC certification, and are soon to get complete EHR certification [1].

I agree with this in theory. In reality, though, almost none of the startups I've interviewed with have looked at my repos.

I link my Github to my resume a number of times (username at the top, URLs for relevant projects). Out of the interviews I've landed, one company has expressed a basic familiarity with my code.

There are alternative explanations for this: I haven't been coding for long, I have a non-CS background, and its possible (likely, even!) that my code sucks. If my code were atrocious, though, these companies wouldn't ask me to interview! Right?

(Feel free to check out my Github in my profile and confirm/deny this. Don't worry, I have thick skin. :P)

Anyway, just an observation on posting your code publicly.

If there's a working build system which is not a total pain, why change?

The first rule when inheriting a code base should be "avoid unnecessary change".

Often you look at some parts of the code base, and wonder what on earth the original authors had been thinking (or smoking). But when you try to replace it you see that the old solution did make some sort of sense.
I don't get a huge deal of pageviews (on average), but I squeeze every dollar out of those I do get. Combining my handful of major blogs, I'd say about 100,000-200,000 per month.

In the book I explain in detail how I go about monetizing blogs and what exactly I do to maximize each revenue stream. However, in short: Amazon Associates, other affiliate offers, sponsorships, Ad Networks, AdSense. In that order.
I'm in the same boat. EDGE speeds were painfully slow, but 3G is more than good enough.

Unless you're streaming from Netflix or downloading large files, I don't think LTE will make much of a difference to the vast majority of consumers.
Node.js is the new hotness, you've gotta write a framework (as opposed to tools that analyze JS code and point out potential pitfalls and bugs, or tools to build and deploy complex JS solutions, or tools/framework that support better unit-testing for JS both server and cliend-side) to get street-creds these days.
One of my customers is using it. I also use it for a side project.

It is a robust graph database that seems to be optimized for exploring graphs from any given starting node. This is different from RDF graphs with SPARQL queries that are highly indexed and optimized for queries. There are also more hybrid systems like AllegroGraph that are both optimized for queries and graph traversal from a starting node.
I assume play does not use DB pooling if it is a pure 100% share-nothing design?
"Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed—schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support NASA, then so be it.

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled."

Thanks for spearheading this effort, it would be great if the Engine could be built.

As for the documents, your post gives the impression that it was mostly about bandwidth, i.e. "but the museum needs just a little more time before they can cope with a flood of inquiries". While I fully agree that the best way to put it out is a nicely designed web page giving all the historical context and interpretations, well, "better is the enemy of good", these things are always low on the priority list for cash-strapped organizations. If they can't create such a site then nobody will have access to them. I don't quite like this all or nothing approach of such institutions.

Apple and Google are nt the companies you need to worry about. The truly scary ones are companies like Axcion (http://www.acxiom.com/ ). When a company has so much private info on you that only the federal government is allowed to see some of it, and they are gathering this information on every transaction you make, then i think you have to worry.

Not that Google and Apple [and Facebook] couldn't be on their way. I just think they both have competing agendas that will limit how awful they are with the data. People feeling Google and Appke are awful data companies are suffering badly from Familiarity bias.

> The results, they say, "reflect the record size and diversity of the pool of test-takers. As more students aim for college and take the exam, it tends to drag down average scores."

> Since when has diversity and more students taking the test become a legitimate excuse for bad scores?

Um... if the top 20% of students took the test in 1995, and now the top 40% of students take the test, then we've made incredibly good progress if the average score in 2011 is the same as it was in 1995. (Note: I made up the percentages, as I don't know the real numbers, but undoubtedly it's increased.)

The author of the article is either an idiot or pushing an agenda. Probably the latter.
