I don't think this could be more wrong. Apple is not a company that makes jewellery; it's a company that makes the world's most intuitive technology.

Whether their phones are considered "bling" or not is immaterial. Apple's marketing strategy is a bit different to that: producing products that people want to buy not just because they're fashionable, but because they're the best in the world, and they help their users do more than improve their street-cred.

Siri is a massive step in the right direction (if it works as well as they say it does). The author is correct in that natural language interfaces have sucked bigtime, but I can't think of a company better positioned to restore confidence in it.

How to Start Freelancing (Part 2)
When someone asks Harlan Ellison where he gets his ideas, he tells them he uses a service in Schenectady. He gives them $30/month and they send him a six pack of ideas every week.

Ideas are easy and cheap. So cheap that they are functionally free. Turning those ideas into something concrete is neither cheap nor easy. Creating a song, a story, a painting, a sculpture, or an app takes a tremendous amount of effort. When a songwriter has an idea, it doesn't just magically appear on the page. The songwriter has to work to put it there. When I get an idea for an app, it takes a lot of effort to turn it into something that can be released.

The value in an mp3 is not in the bits themselves. Bits are cheap. The value is in the novel arrangement of those bits into something that is desired. When you copy an MP3 without paying for it (where applicable), you are conceptually walking into an art gallery and walking off with a lithograph without paying for it. It doesn't matter how many lithographs are available, you still walked off without paying for it against the wishes of the creator of that lithograph (after all, there would be no lithograph to steal if someone didn't come up with the source material.)
So ... why exactly were the HN stories buried?
Important Tips in Muscle Building
There are many tips that can help for maintain your body for it you need to enjoy the body building exercises; barbell front squat, dumbbell bench press, chin up and sit up crunches, shoulder press should be done in a well balanced and repetitive manner as prescribed in the workout program, be sincere and work hard at it, be motivated and do maximum workout as well as possible to you.

That's not an entirely fair comparison though: digital distribution where the cost per unit is virtually zero vs. costly ROM modules.
This is excellent for backups to reduce server load on the client side (no more need to encrypt locally).

I assume there is no extra charge for this from Amazon? (ah I see the footnote, no charge for SSE)

I guess this also means you can upload very large objects without having the hassle of local pre-encryption too - this assumes you have a secure https link to aws though.

Of course this also means aws has your keys stored somewhere which is less secure.

Why would he explain it to anybody, I didn't know him or his work, but by god if he wants to disappear he disappears. Also he posted no suicidal tendencies as far as I gather, he posted nothing stating he is suicidal or even sad. Maybe just bored, but definitely not sad. Why would he explain his actions to everyone. Who are you to demand an explanation? Did you contribute to his work in any way? Do you hold stake or shares in his work? Did you invest in him or his work? You didn't. One can say that he was a public figure and public made him. Big deal! Did he practically rallied to become famous? No. Did he have ad campaigns? No. Did he actively marketed his work? No. He just posted his good work and was happy that people used it in whatever way. But then he gets bored and says "I am out". Giving up a hobby should not result in a immediate police welfare call.

What did people notice? That his public side is gone? So they immediately assumed that he is dead? That looks like a leap of faith. There were other ways to reach him than police. They could have found out who knew him and told those people to make contact. Police calls are drastic actions and an embarrassment.

The 4S is fine, but it's Sprint I'm interested in
Sure, but that's a lousy excuse.

It is an administrative headache - just as they noted - for some people. The vast majority runs Windows with a single user account. Moreover, installing into %AppData is equivalent to installing into ~/bin - and this is exactly where user's programs should go.

In other words, they have it backwards. They should be defaulting to %AppData with an in-process update mechanism, and optionally let it be installed into an admin-controlled directory, in which case fallback to the service-based updates.
We run multiple Ruby processes per CPU so that when one process is waiting for the db or memcache, another can be doing useful work on the same CPU

That's the trivial case. When waiting for the db or memcache (I/O in general), the GIL is lifted, so it doesn't get in the way. It only gets in the way if multiple threads are inside the ruby VM doing work.
Why do you believe that?

The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that in the 1980s the net advance of the undocumented population was at the 130,000 per year, increasing to 450,000 per year from 1990–1994, and further increasing to 750,000 per year from 1995–1999, and staying at 700,000–850,000+ per year since about 2000

Call me paranoid, but after I read about this service I immediately started thinking what would happen if the browser was compromised - no UAC prompt and elevated privileges through the service...
I'm going to assume "Other than x has a bigger market" can be extrapolated to be "Other than x has more of an upside."

And from that I'll extrapolate that you are in the entrepreneur game to learn and grow as an individual as well as provide something new and interesting for its own sake.

So I'd say "Pick the one that would likely cascade to greater discoveries down the road." In this case, a new mathematics would be a better choice than a new engine based on understood mathematics.

It's Nintendo's decision to create a system that requires such modules, and cause games to be priced accordingly.

Why should a user program require an updater that needs to run with the root privileges? If it were on a #nix box that is locked down comparably to Windows/UAC, Firefox would've been sitting in ~/bin together with all other stuff that the user installs for himself. Windows remains the only mainstream OS that does not even have a notion of user-installed software and mandates (through its guidelines) that all software to be installed into %ProgramFiles%. There is an UAC, but there is no %UserProgramFiles%. This is truly idiotic, if you pardon my late night French, but not a bit surprising.

Would you bother to donate? Or are you only willing to give money to musicians in the form of buying music?
Unless, of course, you are the victim.
That's impressive, BUT there are a couple of hidden variables in these stats:

Those that discounted their games by 10 percent saw a 35% uptick in sales--that's dollars, not units. A 25 percent discount meant a 245 percent increase in sales. Dropping the price by 50 percent meant a sales increase of 320 percent. And a 75 percent decrease in the price point generated a 1,470 percent increase in sales.

Namely,

1) There could be a strong correlation between previous sales and the discount publishers chose. Titles with very low sales might have been given a heavy discount, which means that the impressive percentage wise uptake for titles discounted 75% amount to low absolute sales figures.

2) There is no account of how the products were marketed during the campaign. If the heavily discounted titles went from low sales and almost zero visibility, to being splashed all over the front page, the price point would not be the explanation of the sales figures.
Having fought with Salesforce all afternoon to update some assets for customers, I can verify that while the cloud may not be stopped, it may take quite a while it get here. It's incredibly tedious and slow to enter anything but the absolute simplest level of detail. Outrageously expensive, too, given how much of a time sink it is.

I sure hope "the cloud" has a lot more to offer than Salesforce.
Buried in the middle of the article is the main gist, and an astute point by the author:

If more borrowing or more tax cutting aren’t what the economy
needs, what is? Optimism. Human psychology is a bigger force
in economics than current policy debate acknowledges.

I tend to believe that, at least regarding domestic matters, there is a lot of FUD being disseminated. Most domestic indicators are trending well and for the global investor, the U.S. is still the BATNA (i.e. to the potential foreign economic alternatives).

Thought about differently, if the U.S. were run as a corporation, we would be utter fools to not take advantage of the historically low interest rates that investors are offering us.

Don't get me wrong, there are clear fiscal issues with the U.S. over the long-term, but they have been blown way out of proportion and have instilled a sense of fear in the public by those whose interests it suits. Provided we begin addressing these issues and lay out a plan within the next few years, it is very likely that much of the todays concerns will be looked back on as being completely over-hyped by a few hysterical and politically driven interests with a knack for getting disproportional media coverage. Hysterics aside though, I do believe that they this group has done a service by getting us to discuss some of the future sacrifices our citizens will have to make; I just hope they stop before the current political environment is damaged beyond the point were we are able to effectively deal with and compromise over these issues.
Changing a CEO doesn't mean you get fired. Sometimes it just makes sense to let somebody more experience drive the company. Good CEOs are very very expensive.

It's very interesting to watch in binary, actually.

You first check if the LSB is 1. If not, you right shift it until it is. Once the LSB is 1, you add it to itself shifted left by one bit, then increment.

Watching the bits go by and shrink over time reminds me of cellular automata in a way.
My point about releasing a new app asap is that I am afraid the downloads for my current app will not last long, and I wanted to act fast based upon that. I'll wait a few more days to see if the downloads are holding. And you're right, pushing low quality apps will certainly not help.

Thanks for your time and for the advice :)

When you start a startup I hope you do it to not fail. Even if you might fail first time(s) the mentality that "as long as I don't get fired" I consider the same as "I'm not sure about this". I would say you must believe in what you do to make it succeed, make other believe in it too.
Providing enough storage on the device itself for the kind of games you expect on a system like the 3DS might not be feasible. Ideally I'd like to purchase a few flash cartridges and write games I've purchased to them as I see fit, from the market app they've got on there now. There is definitely room for improvement.
Although, I didn't do it, I can reason why. If Mark pulled all his content (and even nominated his own Wikipedia article for deletion citing he is not notable) because he wanted some privacy, letting all those articles on the HN frontpage would do the exact opposite to provide him more attention that he is avoiding.
> Not to mention the incredibly stupid modern practice of splitting the inheritance between your children rather than passing it in its entirety to ONE child.

Agreed. This is the very reason my next phone will be an iPhone.

The convenience of its tiles is great, and the UI is impressive, but nothing beats a Siri that is deeply engrained into the OS itself.

The difference between ‘good enough’ and better
In Japan in the 90's Nintendo had ROM burning booths installed in Japanese malls. Kids could write games to a cartridge for the equivalent of a few dollars. It was a huge success. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it.

When looking at the Nintendo eco system you really need to remember that Nintendo primarily make a system to play Mario, Zelda and Pokémon on. They want a robust system. Cartridges, despite their inherent costs, offer child friendly, robust distribution that limits returns, copying and maximises their revenue.

Having said that I can't see them continuing with cartridges for much longer as their cash cow is being decimated by cheaper devices.
Unfortunately, your argument falls apart immediately.

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries" -- United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8.

While you can make the argument that it may be a lesser right than the more primal human rights, it's factually incorrect to say that it's not a right. Says so in the Constitution, the document that defines our rights.

But wait, there's more.

Your argument falls apart even more because you are incorrectly placing the value of a work on the physical representation of the work. Using your interpretation, the primary value in the book Huckleberry Finn is in the pages of that book, not the words and ideas printed in the book. Alternatively, if I take Huckleberry Finn, run it through a jumbler and create a document that has all the words rearranged randomly, that it is just as valuable as the original work.

Also, you're factually incorrect about the concept of property rights being limited to physical property. If that were the case, plagiarism would be a legitimate practice. If theft is limited to the physical representation of a thing, then it should be legitimate for me to sit down and right a copy a work word for word and pass it off as my own. After all, there is little to no value in the words, so I'm not doing anyone any harm.

Smarter - and yes, more ethical - people properly respect the wishes of creators when it comes to how they express their right to distribute the fruits of their labor. They certainly don't spend six bloviating paragraphs to say "If there is something I want, I should be able to take it."

Brevity is the soul of wit, after all.
What a melodramatic overreaction.

Let's not forget that this is not the first time. Hmm, iPhone 4S - seems to remind me of something. Oh right, the iPhone 3GS. Let's see - faster hardware overall, same industrial design, few new hardware features, uses more software features as the selling point... and both products end with an "S".

Yeah, okay, easy parallels there.

And yet, Apple didn't move away from being a hardware company, nor did they dive headfirst into being a software-heavy company then, so why on Earth would you think that'd happen now?

This entire article is only believable, and the authors fears are only relevant if you know nothing about Apple's recent history.

Either way, good riddance. Mark didn't want them there, obviously, and neither did anyone except rubbernecking thrill-chasers.

It was ridiculous to think the guy was in trouble or to send the freaking police to his house. The man has friends, family, and co-workers, and the people who surfaced this story didn't so much care if he was alright (because they weren't his friends) so much as they wanted a few seconds of internet fame for being the first to notice the data wipe.

The story should have been posted as "Lookie, lookie - Mark Pilgrim disappeared from the internet!" That would have been fine.

Instead, it was the morbid internet at its worst.
This is accurate. I would add two things:

1. Make sure your video can be watched easily on a Mac browser without plugins. Bonus if it works on Windows and Linux. I've seen a few people that use .wmv files, which end up crashing browsers. YouTube private video links are a great way to make sure thats not a problem.

2. Same idea with the video: if you link to a document, make sure its a PDF.
