It's an example of how much personal data you actually leak through Facebook illustrated through a movie of a crazy serial killer browsing Facebook, with nicely done overlays of your actual personal data that the app pulled from you.
Frankly, the code contains all the information you need to do this already, so perhaps we just need a source-code übereditor that marks it up so that you can see the dataflow.

Yes please! I'd love an uber-editor in which I can visualize the dataflow, control flow, and other static analysis output on-the-fly (for any language). Computers are fast enough to do it. It would aid in understanding and be a code maintainer's dream. Imagine that you change something and get immediate feedback on changes in control flow and data flow, and directly see if it was correct without going through any test cycle.

> The threat is not the UEFI specification itself, but in how computer manufacturers choose to implement the boot restrictions.

Exactly. When Apple shipped the first Intel Macs without Boot Camp, there wasn't outrage that Windows/Linux couldn't boot; People that cared just didn't buy them. Just don't purchase a computer that has been crippled by the manufacturer.

It will still be possible to build your own computer - OEMs will only bother to certify entire systems, and bare motherboard sales won't be affected by Windows Logo Certification since the class of users who build their own computers don't even notice marketing programs like that.

It's also likely that many, perhaps even most, certified systems will offer a means to disable or customize the secure boot functionality. You can disable Computrace, TPM, and Intel ME on virtually all machines that ship with them. This should be no different.

I find it strange that Groupon gets so much attention on HN. It's not a technology company. It's a marketing/advertising company with seriously questionable ways of doing things.

Andrew Mason is a cool guy and I loved his talk at Startup School last year, but his company is more into financial engineering than innovation, just like Wall street and the banks.
The EROI for blowing up mountaintops ignores the externalized costs of the activity: water pollution, habitat destruction (and the loss of associated ecosystem services), damage from explosive concussions, and ultimately a locality that sacrifices its long-term health for a handful of temporary jobs.

And this argument even yields to the HN party line that states that the value of undeveloped natural spaces is zero.

That's one interpretation.

Do not forget, that Apple has attitude "users do not know what they want, they will take what we offer". You don't know, whether users would be better off with multitasking or not, because you can't compare these two scenarios.

Sure, you don't need multitasking for checking in with Foursquare. You pretty much need for Location or Tasker. IOS users are not aware, that such applications exists and they are not missing them. If they would be used to them, they would miss it. Same with Swype and other apps available on Android.
It's not nearly as irresponsible as countless of companies straight out ignoring or even denying security breaches while trying to shoot the messenger.

The sad truth is, you can only make these companies move by hurting them. Another sad truth is that the best (and more often than not the only) way to hurt these companies is to hurt their customers.

Not to be overly suspicious, but it may be a hyped-up or cherry-picked statistic. The two sources in the article are the Chief of Dubai Police, and the director of the Abu Dhabi Police traffic department, who didn't give any further details; the paper itself is state run.

"Two weeks ago, Abu Dhabi Police announced a campaign against motorists who use their phones while at the wheel." ... "Gen Tamim likewise warned that Dubai Police will soon be using electronic evidence against drivers who cause accidents while using their smart devices." ... "The precise statistics for traffic accidents in the two emirates this week were not revealed to The National."

I found this fascinating:

"But then three and a half weeks later the police just knocked on the door and said we're here to speak to you about downloading files about First State Super," said Webster, adding police discussed the matter with him and told him to stay away from First State's website."

The implication there is that a website is property so strongly as to use the police to compel whether someone might choose to point their web browser at it.
Put your phone number up on the site in a big bold font. Handhold customers who can't spell SSL. Do good things for your customers, good things that don't scale. You'll be safe from Google.

The practical limits are much more esoteric than Malthus imagined.

First limit: that population limit that some group of people with the power for force their beliefs on everyone else, thinks is ideal. Not like some group, of, oh, let's call them Elites, might decide the limit was radically less than the present population, and plan to use multiple means including mass contagion, war and economic collapse to force depopulation or anything. See: Georgia Guide Stones.

Second limit: The number of people alive at the point when some technological singularity occurs, making 'population' a moot concept.
For example: http://everist.org/texts/Fermis_Urbex_Paradox.txt
"Except those people are quickly dying out - literally."

Eh, I strongly disagree. I still have the misfortune to every now and then watch people who are supposed to be from the 'internet generation' (in their teens to early twenties) struggle with just-beyond-basic computer tasks - like opening a file with a different program when the extension association has somehow been screwed up. When I extrapolate their demographic traits, I can come to no other conclusion than that the vast majority of the general population does not have the computer skills that designers and software developers assume them to have.

It depends. If it's still around in 10 years, I'd be willing to bet not a single line of code currently used by Facebook will still be running. Some startups will become "enterprises", because of what they do, but I'm talking about financial services, banks, government departments, public services etc. Their technology doesn't move forwards, because it can't. I'm sure little to no startups are using Oracle IAS (Internet application server), yet it's one of the most used technologies in enterprise applications, and will be for some time. If you're a sysadmin with a deep understanding of IAS, or Oracle DB, or HP-UX, or any of the countless other "old" technologies used in enterprise, you'll have a job for life.

A Byron Bay Villa The Best Option for Those Seeking Holiday Comfort
So you are going for a holiday. You can choose to stay at various types of accommodation during your holiday. Yet a private villa is an ideal choice if you are seeking for home comforts. In this case, I give an example of Bali, an exotic island famous for its precious culture, gorgeous landscape and magnificent sunsets and sunrises. You can stay at a hotel or other means of accommodation but staying at a private villa is a good option because most of the villas offer luxury and home comforts and promise to make you feel as if you were never that far away from home.

Ask HN: How do I move from my little pond to a bigger lake?
I am a web developer. I've been working on an idea of mine with friends. We all left our day jobs.
We've built a product, we've got our first customers, people are happy, but we can't seem to move out of our little pond.
We are based outside of the US, and so it seems that most of our connections are local.
We've been marketing our product for small business and PR agencies.
There seems to be a steady growth in our user base, and yet reaching abroad is so tough.

How do we take our leap forward? How do we get people abroad to learn of our product?

We've been struggling with this, and I wrote it down in our company's blog. I explain more of our product and pain.

Btw., Nexus S is around 260 EUR today (retail, unlocked, no contract).
I assume this means you're using a 486/33 right now, since it helps you write better software.
It's a little different when a single, minority system vendor who is selling systems at twice the price does something like this, vs. when the dominant player in 90% of the market wants to require it of all the PC vendors.

It doesn't make Apple right, but the surface area affected was much smaller so the objections were commensurately sparse.

You can use Google 2 factor with a land line, or cellphone. They call it, and tell you the auth code.

Your comment is missing the point. I know about sampling bias, and I'm aware that the points are representative of the subset of people who read that particular comment (or didn't) and decided to click a button. These are all facts that go into my interpretation of the data. But it's still data!

And the data was useful to me, in my own interpretation. Why is everyone so determined to convince me that comment points weren't useful to me? You're not qualified to determine that, because you are not me. And I'm telling you, they were useful to me. I can't make it any clearer.

Frankly, how I interpret the data is none of your concern. If you're afraid that other people will misinterpret the points and assign some false value to them, I can't do anything about that. It's simply a shame that the solution is to take away data from everyone, because you're afraid some will misinterpret it.

But hey, if making HN less useful for me makes it more useful for everyone else, then I guess you can disregard everything I've said.

You get downvoting privileges at a certain karma (since about a year ago, 500 points; this is periodically raised as the average user's karma goes up.) Flagging ("this is spam") and the ability to make polls are also based off karma.

Karma has no effect on the rank of your submission or the weight of your votes. However, average per-comment karma has a (mild) effect on the ranking of comments. Additionally, flagging has a severe effect on the ranking of submissions (negates ~10 upvotes, sufficiently-flagged submissions go [dead]). Flagging does not seem to change the ordering of comments, but too many flags make a comment go [dead]. Users that (repeatedly) make comments that get flagged [dead] tend to find themselves hellbanned.

Agree 100% about the Apple philosophy, great comment.

I understand about pressures. However, I've worked at a big company, small, and now at a startup, and none of them seem to have time to focus on quality. Maybe I've just been unlucky, and that the Apples of this world are a very rare breed. It could also be argued that it's more important for a startup to focus on quality, especially if entering a crowded market?

Thanks for the advice, you're right it's all about balance. It's not all bad, there are some people at my company who love spending time on user experience, but at the moment they just don't fight for the cause. Hopefully when things get a big less hectic (if that ever happens) there will be time for improvement in this area.
This is a real shame, I was one of the 2000 who signed up and would certainly have been a happy, paying, subscriber.

I was also one of the 400 who showed an interest in writing. The reason why I didn't ever get beyond making a few notes is probably the same reason that many others' good intentions never came good: Good writing takes a lot of time and effort. Time and effort I would love to spend, but can't afford after long hours programming. My creative juice is depleted by the day job.

I suppose that my lack of stamina is not unique? Maybe the best writing comes from those who get paid (or can afford) to spend the time making a quality product?
