All the articles I've seen about this provider say that the price is low because they expect to utilize WiFi for a significant proportion of calls, not supplied by Republic, but supplied by the cable or DSL provider, in my case AT&T UVerse.

The land-line equivalent of this is Magic-Jack, though Republic do at least offer CDMA, or will until they discover their customers are breaking their business model.

one other thing why www is good for SEO. shitty URL parsers. lets say you make a press release. there is a high chance that www.example.org gets automatically parsed into a clickable link (sometimes it's nofollow, sometime it isn't) - on the other side, there is a high chance that example.org does not get parsed into a clickable link, so you would have to write http://example.org to make sure that it get parsed into a link, which is just ugly - and - most of the PR stuff are reluctant to do.

some URL parsers have caught up to non-www domains if you have a .com domain, but try it with an .io domain. it fails most of the time.

that means there are some interesting hipness tradeoffs

* if you have a cool .io domain
* you should have an uncool www

on other thing about non www domains. journalists always get it wrong: whatever you do, whoever you pitch, as soon as you end up in a big and might print newspaper (that also has a website) you will see your domain with www again.

Mircosoft Forum Hacked
Definitely a good idea for Windows users, and possibly Macs as well (I don't know the prevalence of browser-infesting software there).

On Linux, though, it promptly flagged all of the addons I had installed through the distro packaging system as "third-party addons" and wanted to disable them by default.
It is indeed a new low for Microsoft to be patent trolling on an open source operating system which is based on the linux kernel.I wonder what Bill thinks about this.

Also I really dont understand how a company which has tens of thousands of engineers has to do cheap stuff like this to generate revenue.I know a lot of smart people who (unfortunately) chose to work for ms and I wonder why Microsoft is not using its talent pool.

Ask HN: List creation and sharing
Hey HN. Do any of you remember what Path was rumored to have been doing before the whole photo-sharing thing?

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/first_peek_at_pathio_the_stealth_startup_from_face.php

It was supposedly something along the lines of list creation. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I was actually SUPER excited about this, because I really wanted an app that I could use to make, share, and collaborate on LISTS. Seems trivial, but I thought it was awesome.

Even now I can't seem to let it go. So I'm asking you HNers, do you know of any apps that do this really well? I'm not talking about todo-list apps, I know tons of though. I'm talking about a single unified interface that allows me to easily and quickly create lists (of any kind, with any sort of content), and be able to share them live with friends, and allow friends to edit them.
To me this is the interesting feature, not the "more power than before", which was to be expected. Ironically, none of it is presented in the article nor videos.

I also find the "throw more power at it to get it smooth" argument quite appalling.
I suspect many people who want to "simply re-regulate financial institutions the way [the US] did during the period from the 1930s through the 1990s" are not fully aware of what those regulations entailed, or why they were repealed. The example I cited might be a motivating factor for such people to get more informed before they decide what they "like". I would further add that counting "like"s is probably not the best way to figure out how to reduce systematic risk in the financial system.
That's true. What tactile feedback could a hackysack-size ball really give though besides perceived firmness?

If the finger rings were actually more like thimbles, could they impart some texture onto a finger tip? If you were brushing over a virtual surface, could they then give a sensation of texture? Raised on a page to denote a button, etc?

I really liked the OP's article, but found it frustrating stopping short of real suggestions and predictions - great opportunity to try to forecast where things could be in 10-15 years.
Known problem with the compatibility system, and Mozilla plans to address it in the near future by improving the notion of compatibility, as well as adding the ability to quickly mark an existing version of an addon as compatible when it doesn't need changes.

@patio11: could you make your presentation / slide deck available for those of us who were not fortunate enough to attend in person.
Actually, they understand it quite well; fixes to released versions of Firefox use dotted version numbers like that. Mozilla just switched from doing major releases on a timescale of 1-2 years to doing major releases many times per year.

Among other things, that has improved the quality of the browser, since features don't have to rush to meet the release deadline when they can just wait for the next one right around the corner.

Announcing the new US West (Oregon) Region
I would hazard more people have access to a scanner (even the one at work) than own a smartphone.

That's probably not true; Reading The US smartphone landscape (http://www.asymco.com/2011/11/06/the-us-smartphone-landscape...).

Also, Nielsen points out that 43% of all cell phones in the US are smartphones; it's just a matter of time before every cell phone sold is going to be a smartphone. Apple's iPhone 3GS is free with a two-year contract.

62% of users 25-34 years old own smartphones: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/generation...

So requiring a smartphone (iOS and Android have a combined installed base of 63 million devices in the US) isn't as whacky as it sounds.

Yeah Twitter absolutely rocks. I recently had a post tweeted by both @AndrewWarner and @smashingmag [1] and it's now on page one for the search term "testing website" (when done on google.com.au). While the Twitter links were fresh it was page 1 on google.com, too an showing up as "news".

I don't think your story holds up. Checking accounts pay nowhere near 6% interest. Mine is currently paying 0.10%. Savings accounts are FDIC insured and Regulation Q did not forbid them to pay interest, it was just harder to get your money out. I don't think any professional economist believes that interest on demand deposit accounts has ever caused a crisis or been a significant cause of systemic risk. It was an anti-consumer regulation, plain and simple.

The central premise, that Google+ suffered for lack of brand pages seems flawed to me. I suspect that like me, people use Google+ to read posts by other people, not to be advertised to. Google+ has users making interesting posts in abundance. As an example, see how many Google+ posts have been shared on HN versus Facebook posts.

What Google+ has given me is what I wanted all along - asymetrical following without the limitations of Twitter and without the need for someone to create a brand page before following them becomes acceptible.
Ah good catch!
Well, the ball could in theory feel how much pressure you excert on it and where, and provide haptic feedback. In a super advanced scenarion perhaps the ball could provide feedback by varying it's firmness. Guess it depends on how advanced technology is how good the thimble solution could be, but it strikes me easier to manipulate a ball, which you could do even when it's in a suit pocket than to do gestures in the air. Some gestures might be doable though. I have a hard time coming up with a "Cursor" scenario for that solution though and tactility makes it so much more easy to control. Maybe if you used your fingers against a hard surface but that would limit it's flexibility.
Well, this is supposed to be a video about the future of interaction design and not the future in general. But I have two points that I want to say:

- The future technology should help the man kind be independent. It doesn't need to make you rich, but just do your own thing. I don't like that someone is driving my car or waiting me in the airport. I'll prefer that they play music or baseball.

- We don't need high tech gadget and assistance. Get out of your computer and go see the world. There are hundred of millions of people that are diabetic around the world. Go and solve that, billions and may be trillions of $$ are there.

Brief, we don't need touch screens everywhere in the future. We don't need valets, actually having them is worse for the man kind. There are huge scales problems like disease and famine and joblessness that need to be solved.

I disagree. The folks at Mozilla are not so quietly encouraging developers to get involved in the alpha and beta releases to ensure that things do work on day one of a release? How much work was done up to October 27 ensuring that your add-on was ready to go?
As publicly traded companies (eg. Goldman, Morgan Stanley), don't the executives have legal obligations towards the shareholders? Isn't it illegal for them to game the rules to maximize their bonuses at the expense of the company's long-term viability? Why don't the shareholders fire these guys out of simple self-interest to protect the value of the stock they're holding?

If I were the owner of a company and the CEO I hired to run it for me were to put my company at risk for his bonuses I'd be hitting my head against the wall and firing him. No gov't regulation required.

We have had a good deal of luck using ElasticSearch to index and query our couchdb databases on some projects. Couch publishes a _changes feed that allows ES to subscribe to updates and index them as soon as they hit the database. It has a very powerful JSON based query language that eased a lot of the pain points related to couchdb views for us.

But the barriers to entry for others to then go the same way is so much lower than in Adobe's previous environment.

Can you not just target Flash Player? Seems like the barrier to entry is going to be the same as Adobe's in either case, except that with Flash, Adobe must also maintain Flash Player.

Everyone knows that f.e. YouTube aren't really doing everything they can with whatever h.264 encoder they've been using.

The inevitable effects of capitalism as taken to the extreme, losing any sense of humanity. Which seems to be where we're going. However, I don't agree it has to be this way. Comments like yours push any form of capitalism into the bad stuff corner, throwing out the baby with the bath water IMO.

I feel that most occurrences of the word 'fuck' are unimaginative and fail to utilise the full expressive potential of swearing. There are countless interesting words and phrases that convey the same emotion as the F-bomb, and I would rather see more of those. I will not say that it's always inappropriate to use 'fuck' but it's certainly overused.
I wonder if the solution to this whole issue is a proper market, and true innovation, in student lending.

A competitive financing market, where college hopefuls compete for access to lenders' funds, and lenders compete to get quality students, could work well.

It seems that private lenders, if they could make interesting loan agreements, would be the best equipped to provide substantive loans to whomever, and we wouldn't see ridiculous degrees and subjects surviving, as students are incentivised into more productive areas.
Ok, updated version:

void*
memmove(void *vdst, void *vsrc, int n)
{
char *dst, *src;

dst = vdst;
src = vsrc;
if(vdst > vsrc) {
dst = vdst + n;
src = vsrc + n;
while(n-- > 0)
*--dst = *--src;
}
else if(vdst < vsrc)
while(n-- > 0)
*dst++ == *src++;
return vdst;
}

Does this solve the bugs?

Given how bad Flash is on Linux and OS X, it was no real surprise that they couldn't get it right on mobile. The two platforms on the desktop that they put few resources into became the basis for the biggest mobile marketshare.

That's the tradeoff of touch interfaces in a nutshell. They're jacks of all trades, masters of none. This is why musicians, for example, are still willing to shell out many thousands of dollars for a real synthesizer or drum machine even though a standard PC and generic midi keyboard can make all the same sounds. For some tasks, it's worth paying the heavy premium for a dedicated physical interface.
I'm not sure what you're trying to address here. I don't disagree with any of what you said because it doesn't seem to address my point.

CRC32 collisions
Hello,
First I will apologise for my coding ability. I am by no means a developer, but am trying - through endless books and web sites - to learn. What I do have is a good understanding - I believe - of the theory behind CRC32 encryption, and as a result of a bet with a work colleague, have a request for some help :)

He has applied a password to a file, he has then given me the Password Checksum. The challenge is for me to deliver to him an alternative password. Now I know this is possible through many third party tools, but the challenge is that I write something to do it.

My understanding is that if I can write something that causes a CRC32 hash collision, I could apply that resultant string as a password, and it would work.

The file is a .PST file, and through reading, I understand that the password protection is very "docile". While that may be the case, it is smarter than me. I was hoping someone could help me come up with some code that would at least point me in the right direction :)

Oh lastly, I am focusing my efforts on learning C Sharp currently, but in a hope to get the foundations strong, progress is slow :)

Thank you in advance.
