Right, despite the downvote (what don't we downvote for these days people), this platform (can and may [if some rumors thus far are true]) support GTK. I don't know what your reply is supposed to mean. (I suppose it may have been from my poor use of the phrasing "Waypoint HTML5 apps" although if we're going to nitpick over it, I would argue a frontend rendered in HTML5/canvas at least partially qualifies for the moniker.)

My point is that since this will likely ship with the GTK3 runtime support, it can render to a web app interface. Meaning that the Tizen project maintainers or consumers can write GUIs that just handle HTML5 "cards" like in WebOS (as they seem to allude is their goal), and be able to utilize any applications built for GTK3 without having to shim in new elements to their window manager.
You seem to be totally missing my point; the UK has plenty of people who want to be entrepreneurs and plenty of innovation - it just fails to capitalize on it and our greatest products languish in obscurity, while they should be leading the world.

I totally agree with you that the UK has incredible innovators. UK companies build products that are light years ahead of the rest of the world, but that are unknown outside of the UK (Spectrum, BBC Micro, Amstrad, Acorn, Psion, Teletext?).

This is a good place to wrap up, as we clearly have a very different picture of our mutual homeland - which is why you're happy there and why I am happy not being there.

Best of luck to you, and I really mean that (even though you called me a prat :) ).
In an interview with Charlie Rose, Jeff Bezos said his vision for the Kindle is to be the best possible reading experience.

Being able to send/receive emails isnt a part of what they want the kindle to be. (Unless people start emailing books to each other.. I guess)
Note: You must click the search button. Clicking any of the instant results will do nothing with cache.
That does not make it the correct price. The correct price pays back the production cost (including paying for the time and creativity of the artist in making up the song) and adds some profit. Get that from volume or high price but low price is not correct price.
Perhaps I missed some big discussion on how great MySQL performs on graphs, because it would seem the wrong tool for graph traversal.

You can represent a graph in almost any data structure and because of this people do it all the time, but it isn't as performant because in MySQL you have to hit an external index on each traversal step, whereas the in a graph DB, each node caries an index of its adjacent nodes.
Watch Dream House Online Free 2011
Watch Dream House Online starts with a well-known setup as Will, Libby, and their daughters transfer to a new residence, only to find out their rooms are nothing like what they predicted. From there, however, they shortly discover that a mom and her two youngsters have been killed in the same house.
It would be great to have a javascript translation to compare it. This is still pretty amazing.
Bringing JRuby to the Cloud
If every shop clerk, Starbucks barista, bus driver, electrician or other professional realized that there must be a better way of working, what would happen?

The first three you listed are well on their way to being automated within a few decades. The last one seems out of place, since electricians are relatively well-paid and often self-employed. I think that we're seeing a gradual shift away from a service economy, mirroring earlier shifts from industrial and agricultural economies, as service jobs are automated or taken over by people in poorer countries. I'm not sure what to call the economy that's coming, though. A creative economy? A reputation economy? An economy where people work on the things they find interesting, and if other people find them interesting, too, they get paid. Many of the menial or boring jobs will be automated.
Any more screenshots available?

Great event, however would be perfect if more structured networking mechanism is implemented. In addition to color-code on name tag, I would suggest to set up a Google doc to allow attendees to freely sharing their project, what they are looking for (i.e. co-founder or developers) and contact info... before the event. This facilitates to find like-minded / same-interest people effectively, more productive meetup in person at the event. Without this pre-researched info, best luck to find "Sean Parker" in the people sea.
I've heard of a study that showed that the first set of a strength-building exercise (like bench-pressing) gives one something like 85% of the benefit possible for the session. The 2nd set gets the lifter up into the mid 90s. A 3rd set has almost no affect on overall fitness. More sets risk negative returns. I took that knowledge and started doing one-set per lift (actually one warm-up set with about 50% of the weight I intended to lift followed by the real set). I had positive results while spending much less time and effort.
Yes, but what the heck to do with it?

Here is one answer. It is central in a technique to find the numerically exact inverse of a matrix using essentially only single precision, integer arithmetic.

How? Take the system of equations and multiply by some factors of 10 to make all the given numbers integers. For each number in a sufficiently long list of single precision prime numbers, solve the equation in the integers modulo that prime. Just use Gaussian elimination. Where in Gaussian elimination have to divide to get a 1, just use the multiplicative inverse in the integers modulo the prime found from the GCD algorithm. So, get the solution in the integers modulo that prime. When repeat for each prime in the list, then can easily use the Chinese remainder theorem to construct the rational numbers, ratios of multiple precison integers, of the exact solution. Of course now with processors with many cores, the work for the several primes can proceed in parallel. "Look, Ma, no more worries about matrix condition number!".

Oversimplification, but a good one.

There are a lot of BS contracts out there, you know. People often don’t even read what they sign. That’s why whenever there’s a contact violation you need an entire legal procedure to work out a) whether it happened b) whether the contract was legal in the first place c) whether the judge actually cares and will just overrule it because they want to create a better society—not enough of this BTW.

Then there’s the fact that this promise Allan made probably wasn’t even properly contractually codified.
You can have an IT person from the hospital, from where the doctors in question work, set up a server with cloud software - essentially setting up your own cloud server with no 3rd party involvement while maintaining privacy issues within the said hospital. Whenever you are dealing with cloud computing, an IT person has do have access to the data/server with the data to perform upgrades, maintenance and security. So, to remove privacy concerns, this IT person must be associated with the hospital so that he/she complies with HIPAA guidelines.

WRT "...a customer to purchase their own cloud?" Ans: each patient under the care of these doctors would have to each setup and maintain their own cloud server.
I think legislation is soon needed to define a maximum time (e.g. one year) of storing a user's accumulated information unless he explicitly opts in for longer storage.

I don't really care if Facebook personalizes ads based on my current interests, but eternally storing private data (and making it difficult or impossible to delete the older data) is a completely different issue.
I have seen substantial Federal grants that restrict overhead a university can take to ~20%. These grants were tied to the PI and the money follows the PI if they change institutions.
Agreed. I'm a native Japanese speaker and learned English because I thought it was required to learn programming. And I had thought it was the norm until I met other Japanese professional programmers. Somehow they thought they were allowed to stay whining about not being able to get information from English resources.

Once I told the management to have them learn English because it's almost mandatory for a software engineer to understand English as much as an aspiring Go player would learn Japanese. But the management told me back it's _harsh_ to require them to learn anything more. Harsh? Huh?

That said, I found the need for technical books real, and translated several English books (including Programming Erlang) into Japanese. However I know this effort will not scale and these days I am inclined to abandon translation and tell them that English is just another tool you have to learn to survive.

Vapor.js: The World's Smallest & Fastest JavaScript Library
Really interesting article.

I can imagine there are a lot of companies that don't sell Scrum right. For example: teams are still ordered to fulfill a fixed scope in a fixed amount of time. As a team you can't fight that. It's not the fault of the team.

But from your article I understand 'Low Quality Code' and 'technical debt' are always the fault of Organizers. I don't agree on that.

A team estimates (led by their scrum master) how long they will be working on a user story. It's their responsibility to take everything account that's needed. They know how much time has to be spent to get the code right.

The Product Owner just gets the estimates from the sprint planning and knows how far the team can get. The team said they could do a particular user story in 5 points right? If that's 5 points with crap code as a result... well, maybe it was a too optimistic estimate with no space for good code.
Just curious, but what's wrong with the web version, viewed through Safari?

Or failing that, something like Flipboard?
Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking about - 'working on the things meaningful to us' as opposed to 'working on whatever someone will feed us for doing'.

The Omnivore (e-Ink Kindle now starts at $79)
Chrome uses a process-per-tab model, so each tab you have open is its own running rendering engine/browser instance.

That is why you can have tabs crash and be closed without taking down the entire browser.

Firefox shares more state internally between tabs and as a result, a misbehaving tab can take the entire browser down.

All that being said, the Firefox team has been super aggressive as stomping out memory usage in the 6.0 and 7.0 releases and the work shows, they are doing a great job tuning Firefox.

The financial crisis killed this project for Porsche, but the background is very difficult. In financial terms this didn't matter.

The funny thing in this whole Story was Ferdinand Piech, he has full control over VW as head of the board and was against this buyout. He also owned half of Porsche, so he was then owner of VW, but was also against it because Wideking would have gotten more power.

Both companies are bound together since the war, this whole action was about power between some industrial families.

They gained money in the bottom line, and some idiots with no insight made a bet against them.

Before this action was the Share of Porsche Holding 32.2% and now it is 50.74%. Look at the market cap and say again this was a failure.
I was surprised when everyone was predicting $249 for so long, because Amazon plays to win, and $199 was a reachable price that both beats the Nook Color and sounds like a screaming deal to consumers.

My guess is that unless reviews of the device are terrible, they will sell like crazy this holiday season. The TouchPad fire sale proved that there are tons of people interested in a tablet but not willing to pay the $4-500 entry price. I expect Amazon will attract millions of them.
You're using some pretty vague phrasing here. People still get "sick as hell" from West Nile, but I don't often hear that used as an excuse to start fogging the streets again.

DDT was only one part of the U.S.'s efforts against malaria, and it is the other mitigations that have provided lasting relief; notice that DDT has now been restricted in the U.S. for over forty years, and malaria continues to be a non-issue in this country.

The pyrethroids that we now use, which are both more effective as knock-down agents and less persistent in the the environment, were first developed in the 60s. If we had restricted DDT use in open air earlier, as we should have, smart money says that development of alternatives would have accelerated. The TVA would have continued with the main parts of the malaria program -- water management, urban planning, maybe even in-home spraying (which is where DDT is most effective anyway). The U.S would still be here, and you'd still not be getting sick as hell from malaria.

Nice one Amazon. It's smaller, and cheaper, has content and is Android. I certainly see where this fits into the market. I'm sticking to an iPhone, but would like to have access to the Android ecosystem and want something smaller than the iPad, and I would rather get a better laptop at home than pay iPad money.

Make the application procedure time and effort consuming (Although I can't imagine how university policies could be anything but) and hope to induce researchers to submit to publications that don't require the waiver.

It's a bit unfair to the actual researchers, but if they start putting pressure on the journal publishers -- "Sorry, you've got a high impact factor and I'd love to publish with you, but I can't justify the 2 weeks of fighting with the bureaucracy about a waiver" -- and you might see some progress.

Or their grad students will get another shitty task piled on their list. Hmmmmm.
So if the hedge fund managers lost money and Porsche lost money, so where did the money go?

To play this game both borrowed money, so both parties paid interests... So i guess the banks made money... Fits in with this article http://money.cnn.com/2009/04/13/news/goldman.earnings.report...
Why? What are the costs, aside from an http server that hosts PDFs?
I'm not sure it's about being brilliant, it's about betting the house. G. Sorros bet his house and won, Porsche bet their house and lost. It's all about trying, failing and trying something else if it fails.
If this is true, that price is pretty damn killer. Pricing your tablet at $300 less than the main competition is huge, and now a tablet fits comfortably between a Kindle and a Netbook in terms of price.
Outside of the amazing marketing and stance that amazon holds, this really doesn't seem like much. I don't see a lot that my parents would get excited about at least, and if they aren't the market, I am not sure who is.

arxiv.org has >700,000 open access articles in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics. It's a great resource.

The major cost of a journal is the peer review process, editing, and printing. This can really take a substantial portion of someones time. I don't think it justifies a $25 (sometimes over $40) fee to see an article printed 8 years ago though.
Is there a live video feed of this Kindle event at all?
It's ... more complicated than that.

For example: a beginning trainee can use almost any scheme and make progress.

An advanced trainee: not so much. Their program will need to manipulate intensity, repetitions, volume, density, frequency and exercise mix to continue making gains.

For intermediate to advanced lifters, a good reference is Prilepin's Table, which gives set/rep/totals based on intensity (% of your 1-rep maximum for that exercise).

For example, when I do 95%+ singles, I aim for 6 or 7 singles.

For 90-95% doubles, I aim to do 4-6 sets.

I'm a bit surprised that the article mentions support, but at no point makes the connection that more customers == more support requests.

I think I'd rather have 5 customers paying $20 than 10 customers paying $10 - is this a thoroughly bone-headed point of view? Or is supporting more customers essentially a marketing cost?
Does wpshell have a homepage and an overview what it does, even just a README file?

It seems a case of "bait and switch". You've been attracted to a methodology as defined by experts, but get an aproximation by some random PHB. The result is similar to Mr. Bean trying to apply ninja techniques as seen on a Steven Seagal movie.

Sadly, for many of us, it's the only Scrum that we've seen, so expect more hate. Maybe it is a problem with Scrum, after all. What good is a methodology that gets so often misimplemented?

It's not too surprising. The only source I've seen for $249 is Marco Arment. Many thought the iPad would cost $1000 because of a WSJ article. It ended up costing half as much. I'm not surprised that both Amazon and Apple would both use the press.

>The TouchPad fire sale proved that there are tons of people interested in a tablet but not willing to pay the $4-500 entry price.

The $99 Touchpad is half as much as the Fire and is much as the e-ink Kindle. The Touchpad was also sold at a huge loss.
Are Mutual Funds A Scam?
The goal is to eradicate malaria in humans. No one claims that we can extinct any plasmodium as a species, and no one cares.

In addition, there's a bit of a difference between a microbial parasite and mosquitoes, with regard to ecological roles that benefit humans. I'm sure you can see the difference.

You seem to prefer pot-shots to reasoned defences your statements. I'm not surprised; I do occasionally hear statements like "Let's start spraying DDT from planes and dumping oil on wetlands" from people without the means or will to support them, but I am disappointed to hear it on HN.
Ask HN: Which is the best free Delicious alternative? 
I have stuck with Delicious till now, but the YouTube founders have decided to take it in a different direction away from its core bookmarking function. I know Pinboard exists, but I can't afford a paid solution now. Does anyone know of a free service which does the same thing? All I am looking for is an extension to sync with Chrome and ability to tag my bookmarks.
Also, this is less of a clever hack of the financial system and more of an example of plain market manipulation.

The situation is a lot worse for the general public, although even then many public libraries have subscriptions to the largest journals.
