That's a really interesting question. Singapore has a robust economy that is heavily centered around technology. However, from the little I know about the Singaporean economy (case studies, economic development, etc.) it seems to be an economy that is still heavily centered around technology clusters that cater to foreign direct investment. One interesting point that's been raised before is that the Singaporean education does an excellent job at teaching mathematics and other technical skills, but does not necessarily lend itself to individual exploration of ideas and independent learning (Fareed Zakaria wrote a piece mentioning this phenomena as a competitive advantage of the U.S. education system a couple years back). I also wonder how Singaporeans, as a whole, view failure.

Building an innovation economy is probably the single hardest problem in economic development. What seems to support such an economy is a large number of flagship technology companies, some successful local entrepreneurs to act as mentors and angels, research-focused universities (which Singapore has in spades) and a culture that welcomes failure as a key ingredient to success.

I think that Singapore has taken some very important steps in moving up the value chain and is well positioned to become a center of entrepreneurship in SE Asia. A class project I had during my graduate work was to determine how Singapore could make the next step up the value chain. We ultimately settled upon focusing on building out and supporting the burgeoning bio-tech industry, but doing so is almost too obvious, as it leverages two sectors that are already quite entrenched in Singapore - medicine and tech. I'd like to see more individual entrepreneurship and think that Singapore is probably best situated to make the leap to an innovation economy of all the countries in SE Asia.
I thought the general solution to this was just to create a /tests directory and stuff everything in there, broken out as you wish?

Did I just make that up?

I'd like a class on how to pick which online classes I should take.

Actually, I'm only partially joking. I am guessing that there's just going to be an explosion of these opportunities in a couple of years. I believe in lifelong learning, but this is ridiculous, there's only so many hours in the day.

A class dedicated to teaching people how to plot their own course through all of the educational opportunities that are becoming available would actually be quite valuable.

For example, which courses you take and in which sequence is hard to figure out. Some inputs might be your learning style, your existing knowledge base, your IQ, your available time, whether you're a thinker or a doer, etc, etc.
Except iOS has tethering, it's just disabled on AT&T. Says more about the US mobile market than it does about iOS.
that being said, since the recent multi core ARM cpus (hello tegra 3) have a TDP close to intel's atoms, and with the amount of engineering intel pushes into the mobile area, i wouldnt be too surprised if intel would actually beat arm as well in that area.

personally, i don't want a transformer device. the main reason is that it runs android and has little connectivity options. it cannot do anything CLOSE to what I do on the laptop.
i own some tablets (!) and i rarely use them. i like to test stuff on them, and sometimes, browse the web or the like. but they're not very useful.

i like the phone better (its smaller!!) and the light laptop better (it does everything without compromises ! and im talking using word, the web, IM, etc, not coding. heck im+web and copy pasting around in android is such a pita. not even talking about getting a proper video out, or copying files on a usb stick.)

Maybe some additional text under each permission requested, describing what the app needs it for, e.g.:

- "Post to Facebook as me" - we need that to upload your photos created by XYZ. We will not post status updates on your behalf.

- "Access my data all the time" - we use that to...

etc.

I'd personally like to see more developers open about what they're using given permission for. I'm willing to trust them, just if they're a little more transparent.
you should take a look at browserid (browserid.org)
its much better than FB auth. its much better than any other auth service in fact.
because browserid doesn't want to make a profit out of the user, so its focused on useability, privacy and security.

Startups vary in what they mean by "work real hard", though, so it's possible to pick one where it doesn't mean 80-hour weeks. A subset of the job openings (including some of the YC-company ads here) go out of their way to emphasize normal-ish working hours, strong work/life balance, commitment to avoiding employee burnout, etc. It seems a lot of startups complain about the difficulty recruiting employees, and offering more appealing working conditions might be one way to improve that.

I just tried the iPhone app with my Macbook Pro and can verify it works. You have to keep the iPhone app front and center, not in the background in order for it to work. It still works when the iPhone is in sleep mode.

Now going to check if it will work with my iPad3G connected to my Macbook Pro.

Hope this info helps confirm/answer questions out there.
It worked like that with J2ME on old phones and I HATED it. Some apps asked me for permission to use the camera every time I took the first (since last restart) photo with it. It's annoying and breaks the flow in whatever you're doing at the moment. I much prefer being asked once, and approving for good.
ARM is a company, they have shareholders, the shareholders are really-really happy when ARM get money.

Or perhaps PG thinks his personal success is based purely off his own brilliance with no helpful outside factors needed

He doesn't think that. Though he claims to have made good decisions and benefited from competitor blunders, he frequently refers to incidents that nearly sank the company, and acknowledges the good fortune that saved them and helped them to their very happy exit.
I have no idea where he gets his data on price. I am tempted to say that he made it up, but I have no evidence for that.

But the last two books I looked up were more expensive as a kindle edition than as a physically printed book. Not the same price -- that would have been bad enough -- but not having it printed was more expensive.

Since I am not interested in more dead wood I didn't buy either.

And Firefox is actually one of the most memory efficient browsers right now.

What people fail to see is that "just a browser" is a completely idiotic and misinformed statement.

Browsers are probably one of the _most_ complex and powerful app on the system.

Browsers are basically running entiere applications, virtualized, in a sandbox per tab!

Heck, some websites are just not viewable on mobile right now (unfortunately) because mobile jus't aint nearly fast enough. Think WebGL for example. Few mobile browsers support it, but when they do, its pretty slow if the author didnt make a super low polygon and texture count version...

I'm talking about half-arsed work or time-wasting, not what I enjoy of my life - sorry if that wasn't clear. Living in a rut is little better, in my experience.

This year I have worked on more side projects than I can handle, I've worked through the night and had brutal weeks at my own business, I've done a lot of socialising and I've spent almost three months of the year overseas on holiday.

I hope to work harder and holiday more in 2012. That's not eating into what I value in life, I hope it will eat into those mindless hours on Xbox, checking Hacker News for the fourth time in 20 minutes, seeing if anything's been added to the fridge since my last check an hour ago, thinking about how I really should get the garden in order but not actually doing it, sitting through a TV show I don't really care for, etc.

I don't know, to me it seems like any amazing way to teach in a TDD fashion. It seems like you could use the assert messages to help provide clues to make it more of a learning experience as well.

I think the next step that would be super cool would be to turn it into a web app so there would be no install. Instead you'd be given the single Koan to solve and work your way through them all.

But thanks, really like it.

'Working hard' without 'working smart' doesn't get you anywhere. Why is no one talking about 'working smart'? It involves knowing how hard to work, when to stop working, when to step back and take measure of what's going on, when to go home and sleep... and every other thing that goes into making a successful company.

'Working hard', by Arrington's definition, doesn't cover any of these.

Maybe I'm just being obtuse, but what exactly is his point? Since he's a developer, I can't imagine that a couple minutes on the web wouldn't net him a solution that'd work for his friend's father.

Maybe it's just me, but I receive very high utility knowing that I help solve someone's problem which maximizes their utility as opposed to throwing my hands in the air because said solution may not agree with my own tastes.
It's hard to come up with a good conditional probability, but just looking at the population ratios, the odds are close to the same: somewhere around 1 in 300 American households have net worth >$10m, and somewhere around 1 in 300 of those (close to 1 in 100,000 households) have net worth >$1b.
I've always thought there has been dissonance between the remarkable amount of "this is how we did it at the paper" baked into the code and the libertarian "you should do what works for you" in the docs.

(What worked at the paper has always worked well for me, of course, but I've never been too adventurous about straying.)

Show HN Support machine learning student by taking this survey
Hello,
I have taught myself Python and have developed a website through Django; it is launched from my personal computer with Apache. All of this is done so that I may collect training data on people for my alterEgo project. The end goal of this is to have a academic counselor in your pocket. By using what other people have done in their lives (academically) the person may get guidance through academia. Such as: many people who do well in high school mathematics go on to science oriented majors in college. This may not be as obvious to someone young (there may be more subtle cues).
I am open to suggestions (machine learning/survey) and await your responses.
I am also looking for interesting machine learning projects to work on.

Whether or not someone is convincing is moot if they're correct. That's what should be considered, not whether or not they're convincing. And every self-thinking analytical individual should be free to draw their own conclusions, after gathering as much data as possible.

> The idea is to provide a platform for companies that aren't yet large enough to take advantage of visas that are available to larger firms. So startups that got traction would eventually transfer over to being normal SV companies.

That would make sense, except their offering doesn't sound like that's what they are aiming at. For a company to reach the point where it is spending $3K/mo just to be within 12 miles off the shore of SV, with crappy satellite inet...they would have to already be at the point where they can transition into being a 'normal SV company'...thereby making this point moot.
Yeah, that's a decent idea actually.

Ask HN: Events Calendar similar to the amazing one at UC Berkeley?
The university-wide events calendar for UC Berkeley seems to me to be a marvel of engineering and is very well thought-through. Here is a description of the extensive planning done for the development of this software:

http://groups.ischool.berkeley.edu/EventCalendar/

and here is the events calendar itself:

http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/math.html

My university department is in dire need of a robust, well-thought-through, long-term, events calendar. Unfortunately this project is not open source and so we can't just grab it. Does anyone have any advice for a math department which wants high quality events calendar and basic, secure CMS without going corporate?
If he gets $24 billion, can he afford to hire some engineers who can fix all the obvious glaring bugs? Facebook has a terrible time figuring out what messages and notifications are new, and which ones I read a month ago, for instance, especially in its iOS apps.
Let's see.
Android phones with unrestricted Tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot are Nexus One, Nexus S and presumably Galaxy Nexus.

Tethering on any Droid phones are encumbered by Verizon. You have to pay the tethering plan to have this feature enabled.
The same goes AT&T Android phones with "crippled" tethering capabilities.

iPhone supported carrier-sanctioned tethering pre-iOS 4 (iOS 3.x in 2010), just not in the US with AT&T. Different carriers handle it differently.

I share the same feelings for this guy.

Recently, I had an argument with my father about uploading photos efficiently: He got an iPhone4s and took pictures with it. Now my father uses Windows and does not know much about transferring pictures the right way, instead he does what he knows–email the picture to yourself. My mother who uses a mac, but still computer illiterate, wanted to get pictures off his iPhone so she can post it to her Facebook album. So he goes to his iPhone, selects the picture and emails it to her gmail account, and does this same process per picture. After that mom, logs in to her email, clicks on the new message, clicks on view, then drags the picture from the browser to the desktop. She does this same process to the rest of the messages.

Now I was there, watching in agony (–_–") (I was called up earlier to find out how to transfer photos from her cellphone using bluetooth to the Mac. But unfortunately the cellphone did not allow file transfer using internal memory unless using a microSD card.)

So back to mom, she noticed that the pics were too small to edit (about 30kb 200x200px). So my dad was about to do the same process again on his iPhone. Me=Facepalm

To my reaction I said "You are using iCloud are you? Then why don't you just use Photostream? Whatever pictures you taken automatically syncs with the computer, no fussing with files/transfers, just select the picture in iPhoto, edit exposure, then upload to Facebook." I'm not sure if my father was listening, as he was still selecting and emailing the photos.

I proceeded with setting up with iCloud syncing on the Mac to activate Photostream, asked for the password, (he didn't say anything, but mom knew what it was). I then launched iPhoto, clicked on Photostream and pictures started to come in. "See, isn't that easy. Now mom, pick what picture you want. You can drag the picture out to the desktop like you always do, or just use the upload to Facebook button in iPhoto.

Then the internet just halted for a bit, and the 19 of 72 some photos were only downloaded. My dad said: "I don't like this, you are overcomplicating this simple task." I was like "WHAT! How on earth am I complicating this, I am making this simple for you, its less repetitive and more time efficient than what you are both doing!"

Then I go on about the benefits of Photostream to talking about analogies regarding data capture/logging pool, Film/Photographer's DSLR workflow, to data pool auditing workflow.

He said: "What you find simple, is complicated for us. We can work in a linear fashion however long it can take, and you can work autonomously. Anyway, this is only a one time thing, I don't need to use Photostream. If I need to use this everyday, maybe I might but today its not necessary."

~~~

So lesson learned. You can't just force anyone using your methods. It may or may not work for them even if it sounds stupid to you.

Whatever works for you indeed.

exactly. I've got an ancient (2nd gen) iPhone on which I spend about $30 prepaid and it's been tethering fine for years. I know, because I use the tethering regularly
