"...we may be on the cusp of native monetization schemes - ones that are consistent with how users use web services..."

Perhaps, but that doesn't negate the strategic fundamentals of either marketing, advertising, or sales. The emergence of breakthrough tactics -- even disruptive tactics -- does not necessarily upend strategy. In some cases, it simply allows the marketer (or advertiser) to pursue his/her strategy more effectively.

"The product sells itself" is, to some extent, a misperception. Even in the coming state of things. No product ever truly sells itself -- even if it is found in search, or recommended by a friend, or stumbled upon. The art and science of building, distributing, pricing, and positioning that product -- so that is is recommended by the right people to the right people, stumbled upon under the right circumstances, or searched for in the right context -- still draws upon all the knowledge built up in the marketing field to date.

I get most of my good ideas while writing about and actually coding up ideas I already have.
..yet you enjoy the fruits of the "better safe than sorry" safety charade every time you board an airplane. NASA has some studies on RF interference (linked from Wikipedia) if you're interested in reading up on it. Even if it doesn't cause big problems, it's nice of you to minimize the risk of interference and make the pilots job a bit less stressful.
One of the things I like about Readability is that space bar scrolling puts a blip on the side where my eyes can see where I should continue reading. I've never used the space bar to scroll elsewhere because the behaviour's too inconsistent.
Obscure Objective-C aside that you should never actually take advantage of:

You don't actually need anything between colons in a method signature.

for instance, you could write:

doStuff:arg1 :arg2 :arg3

The method signature would be something like:

- (void) doStuff:(NSString )arg1 :(NSString )arg2 :(BOOL)arg3;

So it's strictly a convention even in Obj-C that arguments are "named".

What's a Free Software Non-Profit For?
The biggest problem with DRM is that it often punishes legit customers. I always thought DRM was no big deal until I signed up for Google Music. I have a net book running Linux so I decided that having my iTunes library on Google music would be a awesome way to have my iTunes library everywhere )I don't want to pay for iCloud sync). I was excited to save hard drive space (I have less than 100gb on the netbook) and still have my library but I was disappointed when I couldn't upload about 20 songs to the service. Sure, 20 songs out of 3,000 isn't much but they were damn good songs and they were mine so why shouldn't I be able to do this?

Up till then I thought people were just whining but now I see the folly in my ways. I'm definitely for some sort of protection for content authors but there must be another way. Maybe they could have a DR,-like system that allows you to use it on X devices the same way you can authorize a number of devices to sync in iTunes. Still, we can do even better. What about a system that somehow measures ownership differently. Like maybe somehow make it so you have to use a password if you want to transfer a protected file to some other device?

Is that naive? Has it been done? I just recently changed my position on DRM so I still have much to learn. Does anyone know of something like I'm describing and is this feasible technically?

Except that this algorithm can't be used for anything as small as n = 100. Essentially the analysis is asymptotic, meaning that you have matrices of dimension n = q^N and let N tend towards infinity to get your bound on omega.

4 Ways to Prevent Viruses from Getting into Your Computer
You are probably about as excited about this as people in the 20s and 30s were about quantum theory. "Immediate practical impact" is not how one qualifies research, at least not from my perspective.
We don't mind using an assortment of different tools to accomplish other tasks. Why should we expect that a one-size-fits all world of ARM tablets and phones is going to completely displace the tools we're using now?
6x the performance . . . for 8.5x the TDP. It's pretty easy to see why ARM designs are already preferable for almost anything that has a battery, and laptops are outselling desktops already. Sure, there will always be applications where single-thread performance will matter more than total performance or performance per watt for many cores - believe me, we learned that lesson at SiCortex - but those applications are not enough to sustain Intel as we know it. There's a reason they're developing MIC; without it they'd be squeezed between ARM clients and servers with 20+ ARM/MIPS/POWER/SPARC cores per chip (not even counting GPU/FPGA server plays). They need their own many-core product to compete.

I certainly agree that an intuitive understanding of a concept can be helpful as a guide and emotionally satisfying. However, I don't think that it is at all sufficient and it is precisely "mathematical gibberish" which resolves the problem.

An isolated concept is worthless. It is only when you are about to apply it by reasoning with it that becomes valuable. The problem with intuitive explanations is that they don't nail down enough details to allow a person to reason with them.

"I think of points in an n-dimensional space as objects holding n different types of information"

Imagine walking into a room and drawing a straight line on the floor. What is the dimension of that line?

Answer = One dimensional.
Proof: We can describe each point by one type of information. Point = (Distance of that point from the start of the line.)

Answer = Two dimensional.
Proof. We can describe each point by two types of information. Point = (Distance of that point from the East wall, Distance of the point from the North wall.)

Answer = Three dimensional.
Proof: We can describe each point by three types of information. Point = (Distance of that point from the East wall, Distance of the point from the North wall, Distance of that point from the roof.)

Answer = Four dimensional....

So by the intuitive explanation we can make this single line any dimension that we want.

This isn't just a problem within mathematics. For a simple programming example:

Question: How does a computer program work?

Intuitive Answer: You give the computer a list of instructions for it to carry out.

Result: The guy opens up notepad and types in "Make a computer game where I walk around shooting Zombies."

One cause of night sweats is a rare disease called Wegener's Granulomatosis, which is pretty treatable but sometimes gets misdiagnosed as cancer. It often seems to start as an ear infection or sinus problem and eventually causes scarring, lumps and holes in the lungs, rashes, joint pain, kidney failure. It is rare and because of this, doctors often misdiagnose it until very late in its progression.

Right, from what I can tell the Strassen algorithm has been implemented but the others are typically pseudocode only...

Agreed. Fixed elements create relative motion.
This reads like a person who has been saying "RISC beats CISC" since the Apple-on-PowerPC days because of ideological opinions about elegance, and is looking for any excuse to re-express that viewpoint.

Look, I still think microkernels are better than monolithic kernels, but you don't see me claiming Linux is doomed just because the L4 microkernel is running on 300 million mobile phones worldwide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Kernel_Labs).

Monolithic kernels aren't going anywhere, and neither is x86.
Isn't the low energy density of NiCd batteries the main reason it's so friendly? According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, the best Li-ion batteries are over 4x more energy dense than the best NiCds, so there's over 4x more bang (and presumably 4x more desire to go bang).

It does appear that Lithium's reactivity with water is has much more energy release potential than the battery itself does, but from a bit of reading around on the all-knowing internet, this reaction is supposedly fairly gentle. "Lithium's density is only about half that of water so it floats on the surface, gently fizzing and giving off hydrogen. It gradually reacts and disappears, forming a colourless solution of lithium hydroxide."

Seems to me that if you physically abuse a battery, it's going to release the energy that it has stored. The only way to really avoid that is to not store so much energy. Or are there battery chemistries that can take abuse without releasing their energy?
I don't know anything about your application, but if possible, I'd suggest de-coupling the application from the revenue source (i.e.: make downloading the application free, but extract revenue server-side via requiring accounts or another mechanism).

This is especially important if your application has any back-end component (as pirating can go from just an inconvenience to something that costs you actual money if you're paying for network/server resources).

Obviously, certain applications don't behave that way, in which case I don't really know what else you can do.

"Performance per watt" is great, but when I step within 2 meters of a power outlet I want "performance." And many machines (including laptops) spend their lives within 2 meters of a power outlet.

Ask HN: Reading list / identity verification 
Kindle Owners’ Lending Library has made me want to sign up for Prime but I have commitment phobia with only having one free book per month.

I want to choose my book based on HN reviews/rankings. I see occasional reading list posts here but haven't linked the two together. It'd be cool to see what others are reading. I'm looking for something beyond the commonly suggested entrepreneurship books. Something with adventure, a life lesson, or otherwise would make me a more well-rounded person.

The second part of the idea is how to keep spammers out and encourage high quality lists. The app could require some karma minimum or age of account on HN or other sites.

It would be authenticated by temporarily putting a unique identifier on your profile while creating your account on the other site.

Questions:

1.) Would a HN reading list app be welcomed by others? Especially if it ties in what's available on gutenberg, amazon prime, etc. Some notion of karma or cross-linked HN submissions. Like instantwatcher in some ways...

2.) Does a identity/credibility verification system like that already exist?
I will take 6x the performance for 8.5x the TDP. My 3 year old MacBook Pro has plenty of battery life for my use case. You have to look at absolute performance numbers for the application.
That's a perfectly good response. Just wanted to know if this was a "people quietly shuffling and re-implementing some core algo" kind of announcement or more general scientific theory.

So, thank you. By all means keep researching and advancing.
If intel manages to beat AMD out of the x86 market then it will be the end of an era. AMD has done a pretty good job of guarding the x86 flanks in critical times - the P4 debacle, the move to 64 bit, operating in low margin parts of the market where intel has few offerings, offering 4 socket servers, currently offering higher number of cores than intel equivalents. Also they do a good job of exploring the design space and have at various times come up with useful innovations. AMD going out would make x86 a much more monolithic entity in the market and much more open to attack from competitors. Even currently AMD's low power brazos designs eke out a segment of the market where Intel has no real offerings ("good" opengl performance on a SOC).

The problem for you as a reader: a monopoly would allow Amazon to jack up retail prices as high as it feels like.

Amazon could also eg set very unfavourable terms for authors, so only mainstream literature becomes commercially viable.

Of course, other channels would open up in this event, but there would be a massive time lag. And if Amazon didn't squeeze too hard, they could maintain the status quo for a long time.

Monopolies are bad for everyone.

Ah, this is the key misconception. If you think Charlie is the only thing going into his books that provides you value, think again. Good development editing, copyediting, fact-checking, typography, and illustrations all go into an excellent book. Amazon has no skill at any of these things.

The future of publishing will belong not to middlemen like Amazon, but to people who can reliably put out high-quality, profitable books even from middling writers, and who can turn a profit based on the carrot of quality rather than the stick of DRM. That means cutting out a lot of the people in traditional publishing, but it doesn't mean that publishing as an industry will go away.

O'Reilly, Five Simple Steps, A Book Apart and other technical publishers are paving the way here, and it won't be long before someone starts an ebook-specific publishing house for trashy romance or adventure novels and makes a killing.
Yes, Strassen is straightforward to implement and makes a huge difference. Another practical algorithm applicable over small Galois fields is the "method of the four Russions" (none of whom are Russian). It's often used as a basecase for Strassen when multiplying matrices over GF2, which has a number of applications in the real world, including crypto research.

The problem for me, is that so long as there is DRM attached, I don't feel like I've purchased something I own. Therefore, that erodes significantly the price I am willing to pay for Kindle ebooks; I enjoy reading on the Kindle more, so I like having the ebook, but I don't want to spend money to be locked-in. My threshold right now for an ebook is at least a 40% discount relative to the price I could purchase the physical book, to offset the DRM risk.

Ideally, what I would like would be to be able to buy a paper book, and get the ebook bundled for $X more (say, $2-$5 more). I would have the satisfaction of a book on the shelf, actually owning the book, and then the convenience of an ebook. I would also be less bothered by the presence of DRM. If I could buy DRM-free ebooks from Amazon, I would be willing to pay closer to price parity of the corresponding paper book.
My app uses a server backend to process images, so yes, pirated apps are a pain. I already have a free, less-featured ad-supported version. I could implement some sort of account authorization in the servers, but I think that would make the app more difficult to use.

I think the author is pointing out that the Kindle version of Dune is terrible. Horrible typos, bad formatting, etc.

Unfortunately, many middle-aged books have this problem, and unless you can wade through the Amazon reviews (which are not format-specific) and find out, you don't know whether the publisher just copy/pasted a text file and hit PublishNow! or actually had an editor sit down with it, mark chapters, fix typos introduced, un-break words if it was scanned, etc.

Thanks, yeah the big box apparently isn't a big hit as something more subtle like libnotify, I hope more designers come in and share their ideas, I like the jackedup that was submitted. The idea of humane message (which wasn't mine) was somewhat like the bigbox, which I liked, I think the unobtrusive part comes in that the user doesn't have to click to remove it, and getting out of the way when you want to see what's behind it. Thanks for the comment.
Interesting. Those files appear to have originated here: http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/amuse/javascript/expert/ (Warning: 日本語 ahead)

Looking at the other files in the collection, it would seem that they were all intended to be licensed under GPLv2, but the author was a bit lackadaisical with his license text. One file includes some standard license boilerplate with a warranty disclaimer, another includes an abbreviated note, several include very vague mentions of being "free" without any elaboration and those two lack any legal text whatsoever.

If you're concerned but really want to use it, you could probably get anybody whose Japanese is less rusty than mine to email Masanao Izumo and ask him to confirm that he's offering it under a free license.

Ah, this is the key misconception

I'm aware of that argument, I just don't find it credible. The prevailing arrangement is that the publisher pays people to edit and do cover art, just like they pay people to actually print the physical copies. It does not matter to me whose name is on the check that goes to the person who edits Charlie's book -- Charlie, Amazon, the publisher, whatever. The internals of supplier's accounting systems do not surface value to me.
