Right, processing the Siri commands locally instead of on a server might require more CPU horsepower that the iPhone 4 cannot handle. Just my best guess as a non-iPhone4S upsell reason for it being iPhone 4S only. The fact that it requires an internet connection may not mean anything. You don't necessarily know why it needs an internet connection. Things like search or feeding back use data can be non computational reasons for requiring an internet connection.

Mark has every right to disappear, I said so.
And Mark has every right to delete all of his stuff. Sure.

And Mark has every right to delete all of his stuff, stuff that has been widely linked to, stuff heralded as brilliant, and he has the right to delete all of his accounts, but what he has no right to do when he does that and leaves no explanation, is to be annoyed that people wonder what happened to him?

This is an age passed the kids' faces on milk boxes.

We have google that puts up a infobox for suicide prevention if you search for suicide.

We have amber alerts. We have diggs/reddits/farks starting searches for missing people.

We have had several famous net suicides including one in January 2011, where a woman posted her suicide intention, people read it, no one took her seriously, and she went through with it. Needless to say all of her Facebook friends were heavily criticized in the following days.

We have a zillion different ways to connect in an age that stresses how wonderful the socially connected internet is, and Mark goes off and deletes all of his stuff and his accounts with no explanation whatsoever,

And he's annoyed that people notice and take action?

If he wants to delete his stuff, fine. Leave a nice page up saying he is fine but for reason X he is taking down his material for awhile. Wish everyone well, and thank them for their concern. And he's clearly smart enough to understand that.
wow! this needs more international support!

The reason why this is a big deal is that it appears to satisfy PCI DSS requirements for key management (though I'm curious about their key rotation strategy). E-commerce hosts just got a lot more interested in S3.

I think the tipping point is honestly Internet access. A member of the welfare class today has free access to the sum of human knowledge. No one had that in the 1950's.

And frankly, the poor have much better access to health care thank you think. I know from personal experience that a poor, uninsured person can still get necessary or even largely elective surgeries that may not have even existed, and surely would not be performed with the same level of safety and quality, in 1950.

Oh yes--and abortion was actually illegal in the 1950's.
I just played a round of this game (ended with $322), and I felt like it was a compelling demonstration of why I'm not poor.

I know they wanted to present an argument of "oh, all these bad things happen that keep people poor", but I really saw a bunch of small decisions that, when made poorly, accumulate into having no money.
I've had a look at the Google Analytics profile together with the owner. The site is not flawless and there's a lot of room for improvement, but it does have significant traffic and I saw the statements from the third party showing clicks and revenue every month since January 2009. This sealed the deal for me.

The third party is a CPC network, I had no idea that CPA tends to generate more revenue or how that even works. I'm not sure either what Adsense/Adwords Arbitrage means but I would like to know more!

There is a membership area but no paid membership. Definitely something to consider. The newsletter has about 5000 subscribers, also a source of revenue there.

The iPhone/Android app was my first thought when looking at the site. I have another company that makes apps and thought it would be a perfect fit.

Yes a huge chunk of the traffic comes from Google. Diversifying the source of traffic is something I'd like to do but don't know exactly how. Which leads to a question: Do you know of a good company I can turn to for these kinds of services?

The other company I have is called weApps Sweden, please feel free to get in touch with me at info@weapps.se

Oh, wow. I just sat back in my chair. I had not even considered that.
> How are you seriously trying to pretend that these policies were the bastions of "progressives and their allies"?

I'm not pretending - it's the truth.

Bull Connor, the Birmingham, AL sheriff famous for firehosing civil rights demonstrators, was a prominent Democrat in AL and was a delegate to five Democratic National Conventions (1948, 1956, 1960, 1964, and 1968). He wasn't the exception - he was the rule.

I know who instituted Jim Crow and how the political alliances of the time worked. (Do you really think that Republicans had political power in Jim Crow south?) I also know who segegated the US military. I also know who wrote "Three generations of imbiciles are enough" in a Supreme Court decision upholding forced sterilization. I've also looked at who voted for and against the various civil rights acts in the 60s. I know that Davis-Bacon was intended to keep poor blacks from moving north and taking jobs from white union members.

In each case, it's Democrats in alliance with Progressives.

That's just for starters.

I note that you haven't bothered to cite anything more than outrage. Feel free to list two things that Repubs have done that compares to the elements of that list.

Republicans at the time weren't saints, but they were considerably better on race issues than Democrats and Progressives. That's why MLK was a republican.

It helps to pay attention instead of parroting dogma. For example, do you know what the "slaves count for 3/5 of a person" clause in the constitution is about and who wanted the number to be 1 and who wanted the number to be 0?

It's a clause for determining the number of representatives that a state gets in the House of Represenatives. The slave states wanted slaves to be counted as 1 while the not-slave states wanted slaves to not count at all. 1 gives the slave states more representatives while 0 gives them less....

Given that, would it be better for the number to be 1 or 0?

I'm no expert on dialysis, but ff we would be so much better off without dialysis even existing, then presumably no one, nowhere has legitimate reason to use it. Unfortunately, I think untreated kidney failure might be worse. Many medical treatments are not so much "good" as "better than death"--many cancer treatments, for instances, take the tactic of slowly killing the patient in such a way that the cancer dies faster than the healthy tissue.

1) Charge more.

2) If you are hypothetically doing $0 + X% of Y pricing right now, change that to $MONTHLY + Z% of Y. You'll qualify away the worst possible "customers" and get money to keep the lights on.

You'll note that virtually everyone who sells to businesses is forced to do this, because otherwise the wanna-run-a-business-to-make-moneys crowd will suck all your time.
I think what's getting lost here is that it's your app. You can do whatever you like with it. Sell it, give it away, flush it down the toilet, smash it with a hammer and burn all your notes. As the people who arranged some bits into a novel configuration, it's your right to choose how you want to distribute it. Obviously, without some way to make a return on investment, it would be difficult to find people to give you money to pay your bills while working on the next thing. But it's your decision to make and no one else's.

When I write an app, it's my right to choose how it is distributed in the world. If I want to sell it for 0.99, then it's my choice and I have to live with the risk of it not selling.

It is just as wrong for someone to take my work without paying for it as it is for me to take your work and sell it. In both cases, our right to choose for ourselves is being taken away.
Please be kind and file an issue and provide the test-case. thank you.

Would you start a startup knowing you'll be fired in 18 months?
I think you are confused about what a page fault is: that's what happens when the memory manager of your OS needs to load a page from the disk ("swap"). Dynamic language does not help you at all for that. It does not help you with segfault either BTW, because typing does not have much to do with memory management. Many statically typed languages cannot have segfaults either, from java to haskell.
Could someone duplicate this server side encryption by inputting a key to hold in RAM that handles encryption? Or possibly a second server that accepts encrypted data and sends back decrypted data?

Which means that every time a system needs to reboot, losing key in RAM, someone needs to put in the key.

My naive view means someone with a tank can't run off with unencrypted data.
Printing the LLVM Language Reference Manual
From the article:

There are several ways to tackle this issue. For example, some browsers that offer silent software updates will install into the user's application data folder and hence do not have this problem. We could do the same, but we chose not to because it can be an administrative headache for some people who manage updates themselves and have to maintain an installation for every user.
It'd be nice if they added first class support for accept-encoding after all these years.
Hi Patrick, thanks for your suggestions. I am already charging more than before, and I'm not sure that charging even more will help me get the feedback that my product sorely needs (even when we're at >40% "very disappointed" using Sean Ellis' product/market-fit survey) or even increase revenue. Most of my customers are, in fact, bona fide business people who want to build something long-term; they just have no clue w.r.t. most aspects of business.

Also, with my current pricing structure ($MONTHLY + 0%), it is actually already incentivizing them to make more revenue to at least cover the monthly fees. The other thing is that -- I suppose this is a peculiarity to myself -- my morale is directly proportional to the number (and not necessarily the dollar amount) of PayPal "new subscription profile created" emails I receive each day.

But I suppose I also need help in charging more: what is the best way? Just do it + grandfathering, or grandfathering + add massive perceived value and then hike the price? I went with the latter, but it again seems that people are wanting premium features for standard price, which may mean that I'm pricing a little too high and leaving money on the table again.
It's always disappointing when people miss the distinction between a company that makes well-designed products and a fashion company.

Benioff is a good guy. He is the pioneer of the 1/1/1 philanthropy model and has convinced a bunch of other companies to follow suit with that model (i.e. Google et all) and helped out a lot of people.

Also, to be fair he was one of the first people to come up with the idea of the Cloud for the enterprise, and actually deliver a scalable, reliable system which could replace on-premise software.

Your analogy is off. With number theory, even if no one had an external use for it, progress was (is) made, new theorems were proved, so time was not wasted in that regard. The problem with the Collatz conjecture is whether the effort spent on it is actually generating any insights into the problem.
If you have already found that your customers are first timers, i can tell you one thing

Guide them step by step

With the problems. For example, for marketing, outline the process for Facebook marketing and ease it in their accounts. If you see they have problems with lets say accounting, integrate Freshbooks.

Your customers will be profitable when they put effort, and for that to happen, they need to know what they are doing and connect actions to results.

I hate the word "pivot" because it's over-abused in startup parlance, but I like it as a way to describe smart navigating -- not just in startups per say, but maybe also in the bigger game of life as well.

Yes, this. It's awesome that AWS is providing server-side encryption at no additional cost and with no additional client-side implementation effort, but ultimately your data is still at risk.

When Dropbox's authentication layer failed, their encryption was meaningless. Same thing here: data is still vulnerable to errors, misappropriation, subpoena, etc.

70€ for 10 hours of content of mediocre quality? Pass.

I mostly play multi player games nowadays with an occasional big content single player game. I only buy some multi player games upon release and mostly wait for single player games to become heavily discounted. This enables me to leverage the gathered information to buy classics at an acceptable price.

It's not that I cannot afford to pay the price. It just seems obscene and with all the supply of entertainment that is available today, I reckon there is really no need to pay such ludicrous rates.
Think about it this way: what's more important for Apple in the long term?

To have the iPhone seen more often by people that already know about the iPhone and have their own feelings about it?

Or, to usher in a potentially revolutionary way that changes how we use phones, from tapping to dictating? That's something that was, in practice, sci-fi not to too long ago, then it was first implemented well by Google, and now expanded upon with Siri.
Looks like someone at HN stopped an attention whore from attention whoring too much. Censorship, yes, but nice censorship.

Mark pulled down his twitter account, his blog, diveintopython and diveintopython3.

All of these is his own content developed in his own time, and he has every right to pull it down, if he so deems fit, whatever reasons for that. And he has.

Yet, diveintohtml5 lives on. The reason for it is that, it was something he wrote in his employers time who are at least part owners of it.

I hold high respect for Mark and for his wishes to pull down anything his. I am just recognizing the qualitative difference between diveintohtml5 and other projects that he pulled.

Most digitally-distributed games are still priced as though they are delivered on costly ROM modules. There wasn't a correction after the switch to optical media, but at least then there was the excuse of physical distribution costs. Also the fact that, as stated in the article, such experiments are hard to perform in retail. But the facts presented by Valve here paint a pretty clear picture. Some publishers have paid attention (this article is over 2 1/2 years old), most have not. But, it's their money.
