Syncing music (in fact, any file) has to be the easiest thing on Android:

1) plug in via USB
2) copy files
3) unplug

I do not want to install any software to do syncs, so this is the way I want it to be. What value could syncing software add? Not much except maybe if you have many duplicates in your music collection.

File system access via USB will work on any computer with a USB port.

Before this gets more views, let's establish that the headline is misleading and it's spelled "Buffett".

Howard Buffett is a NON-EXECUTIVE chairman. He will have little-to-no involvement in investment decisions at Berkshire. My guess based on the actual content of the article is that he is installed to have a vote at board meetings that will help maintain ethical and moral voting policies throughout the firm.

In some ways this is a break from Warren's publicly espoused values, but it seems to be a figurehead kind of thing and you can't really complain about a chairman who doesn't get paid.
Dear prodigal_erik, I think you may be undervaluing your opinion somewhat. Maybe you should crank up that self-confidence a little, and not worry so much about whether you come across as arrogant?
Hello csomar,

the post I replied to didn't make the nuanced argument you do. I am fairly anti outsourcing myself - in practice it results in ancient rotting codebases that people in the West don't want to maintain anymore landing up here and train a new bunch of third grade developers.

I mostly agree with what you say, but that wasn't the point made by the poster I responded to.

He(?) made a statement that India's software industry is only 10 years old (false) and condescendingly extrapolated that to say that therefore there aren't any senior devs in India with 15 years experience (also false).

I quote "what senior engineers in the Phillipines or India have 15+ years of software development experience. They don't exist, because the software industry has only been there for the last 5-10 years."

My post was only to refute his specific claims, and push back just a little bit on his condescending tone. No more,no less.

I made no claims about whether it makes economic sense to outsource to India (or Tunisia or wherever) or comparing India to Silcion Valley, or absolute measurements of number of good devs/square km or whatever.

Show HN: LayoutHelper, display Android layouts on your devices without compiling
Hi folks.

Today is the day I've been working towards.
My first "Show HN" post.

The idea for LayoutHelper was simple enough. I wanted to quickly see my layouts and drawables on all my Android devices without having to compile and work through the app. It's not a replacement for the ADT Graphical Layout tab but rather it compliments it.

There is a free feature limited demo that is still quite useful if you would like to give it a try.

What do you think?
Pretty big piece of FUD here. Title is "secures Europe-wide sales ban", yet the article is littered with bits like "could be barred from sale" and "whether Germany can enforce a Europe-wide ban on 3G-enabled iOS devices is unclear".
A german court enforcing a europe wide ban? Now that would be rich.
I use Evernote to track everything, including this.

I dump everything looks cool into a "maybe" notebook. Before I add anything I search to see if there's a related note. This lets me aggregate and if I sort on "last updated date" I tend to get a good idea of what's important to me.

From time to time I go over the list and see if stuff can and should be purged.

Minor nitpick.

"Just about any decent developer can go work for Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia and get paid 2x what they make stateside. Go be a civilian contractor in the Green Zone in Baghdad, and get maybe 3x. "

As a thought experiment, what if this dev were to get paid a 100x or a 1000x what he could get stateside? Then would you spend a couple of years in Saudi Arabia?

It is about "simple economics", it is just that the price isn't perceived to be high enough, for most good devs stateside, to justify the move to Saudi Arabia. Increase the salary sufficiently to overcome the "climate premium" (and the alcohol premium and the lifestyle premium and the pretty women premium and .... and ...) and you'll see a flow the US to Saudi Arabia (or from California to Denver or whatever).

In other words all the factors that make the Valley a better place than Austin for good devs to migrate to, have a dollar cost. Match or exceed that and devs will go wherever. 2x isn't sufficient to overcome Saudi's perceived yuckiness. 10x or 20 x might work. Pay twice California salaries and Austin companies will have no problems hiring. Good developers are hard to come by in Austin at the price these dumb CEOs are willing to pay. Quelle Surprise!

Fwiw, I've visited Austin and worked in California. If I had to choose today, given two equally interesting jobs and roughly comparable pay (adjusted to cost of living even), I'd pick Austin any day. But that is just me.

"Equally interesting jobs" would be the tough part I think. Id Software is (or was) located in Austin and I doubt they have problems attracting good devs. If your company produces yet another boring businessy CRUD app or social network or Groupon clone or whatever, it might be more difficult.
>Users will learn how to use the apps they want, and they'll think about those apps as tasks, each with discrete ways of doing things. e.g. opening a car door is different than opening a fridge door is different from opening a closet door is different from opening the screen door is different from opening the shower door etc.

I thought that was the whole point of what they were doing.
The Barbarians are at the Gates
i don't understand, are you really complaining that there's a 64gb iphone? compared to the 32gb that comes with the galaxy nexus or the measly non-expandable 16gb that came with the nexus s? you can use icloud to store all of your media on apple's servers if you want, you don't ever have to sync it to a computer.

He's complaining about how iTunes works. No iTunes, no iPhone. Also, you can backup Android applications to an SD card very easily. A 16GB MicroSD card, probably enough for many people's needs, is only $15 these days.

Google also offers iCloud like syncing, and have for a longer time than Apple. And, you have a choice of cloud providers; use either Amazon or Google to store your music, if you're in to that sort of thing.

try actually synching music from a computer to an android phone

I use rsync. You can also use cp. cp is included in the default install of pretty much every real OS around these days, so you can copy music to your phone without installing any software. Amazing, isn't it...
I wonder if we could get into a situation where all leading mobile devices in the world are banned.
I've compiled AOSP from source and use that on my phone. In that case, I have the ability to change everything. The only barrier to this (since there are lots of good downloadable variants of this technique, like CyanogenMod) is being able to flash a new firmware on your phone. In many cases, this is explicitly supported (the Nexus One was a good example), and in the other cases, it's very easy to bypass the carrier's attempt at locking you out of your phone. As long as people keep paying the lowest bidder to write critical software in C, you'll be able to install whatever you want on your phone :)

"""It's really not... You are a xenophobe."""

Yes, thank you for your five-year-old "did too" reply.

"""1) That is an absurd concept. 2) No part of "political entity" implies "ethnicity/language/tradition""""

In your part of the world, maybe --it was after all a mish-mash of people that made it from scratch, and had to account for that.

In my part, it's even in the constitution. And if you ever read history, you would have found that the political entities called states were based on ethnicity/language/tradition. Maybe the fact that we call them "nation states" would have given you a clue.

"""1) Xenophobia, again."""

Knee jerk reaction, again.

"""It's still allegedly a democracy isn't it? That has to be worth as much as it ever was."""

Actually it's not worth that much. Do you voted for Patriot Act or DMCA?

I find it ironic that Americans, which from what I read on the intertubes can hardly tolerate the vast Bush-voting republican masses in between their two coasts, think that a mass injection of islamic or whatever else immigrants in a country will be even better. Because "there's always democracy".

""""With your reasoning, you can just as well move to Saudi Arabia, and you be fine with no free speech, women not voting/driving, religious hysteria etc."

Strawman. How mature."""

Strawman? Hardly. It's called a challenge. Can you walk the walk? Or do you think all "diversity" is like your friendly Starbucks diversity?

"""all your "diversity" talk" - Where?"""

Gee, I don't know, maybe in all those places where your knee-jerk reaction is to call out a "xenophobe".

"""I don't think you could even make it for a week in rural Montana"
You know precisely nothing about my personal life. Do not pretend that you do."""

I don't have to "know" anything. I can see what your writing reveals.

""""Regardless: You asked for a citation that strict immigration policies are hurting Japan, and I believe I have adequately provided them."
This is still the case. Unless you wish to discuss that further, this conversation is complete."""

Yes, let's backtrack when the conversation strays to somewhere we don't like. Actually, no, you haven't provided anything.

For one, I already made the distinction between aging and immigration.

Second, I'm in one part of the world with the most immigration influx in the last 10 years, and with the worst economic outcome for the same period. It's not like Japan's case proves anything in general.

Third, "hurting Japan" economically? How about benefiting them other ways? Or is all "economy"?
Ok, where are your references for these statements?

I'm especially dubious of the 50% figure.

Forget the labels, Spotify is dead. The corpse just hasn't hit the ground yet:

"I am paid $0.00029 per stream of a song on Spotify, and even this amount depends on whether the song is being streamed by a paid user or someone using the service for free. This means it will take upwards of 3,500 streams of a single song on Spotify to earn $1.00 versus that same revenue for one iTunes song purchase...I’ll go even further to say that I actually prefer illegal downloading over Spotify because when you get music illegally it’s at least implicit in the transaction that what you’re doing is potentially harmful to the artist. But with Spotify, your conscience is clear because you’re either enduring ads or paying to use the service and access the music. But from the blue-collar artist’s perspective...there’s little discernible difference between $0.00029 and $0.00...which is why I will withhold any new releases from Spotify in the future."

http://derekwebb.tumblr.com/post/13503899950/giving-it-away-...

Read the whole blog, it jam packed with more than enough insight to make it worth multiple readings.

Even absent the labels, Spotify is a lousy deal for individual music makers.

The search for a viable, sustainable online business model for music is still underway, but unlimited streaming for a low monthly fee is not it.

Actually abortion is part of it (i.e,. no equivalent opt-out for economic reasons) but where the parents have never been married, you also have the fact that over half of never-married mothers never seek child support.

This means that never-married fathers have few if any rights that are not contingent first on responsibilities, while never-married mothers control the legal process every step of the way. In fact, the mother is not (and cannot be) legally required even to inform the father that he is a father and can hence give up the child for adoption without the father being able to assert custody.

There is no solution to this problem (of equality in parenting for never-married couples) that we as a society can live with, so it is then obvious that fathers cannot be legally or socially equal parents.

Now among married couples this comes into play too but differently. If a woman has an affair and gets pregnant by another man and the husband doesn't find out about it for, say, 3 years, the child is legally his and even if they divorce he may have to support someone else's child.

This means that for women, motherhood is both a biological and social fact, but for men fatherhood is purely a social/legal fact.

BTW, this also raises interesting issues--- it means that because as men and women can never be equal parents in our society, the ways in which we enforce this also mean that same-sex couples can not be fully equal to opposite-sex couples--- they either end up legally favored or disfavored depending on how presumption of paternity works in a given state.
Depends on their content:

An ad for a local garage? Fine. But I would class "Mom discovers new TEETH WHITENING solution! Don't listen to your DENTIST! CLICK HERE TODAY!" to be pretty distracting and intrusive.
I had never heard of the SFLC before, so this summary from their filing helped:

"SFLC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit legal services organization dedicated to protecting and advancing
free software. SFLC provides pro bono legal representation to developers and educates the
public about legal issues affecting free software development. SFLC represents a number of
prominent developers and organizations that write and distribute free software directed at
personal computing devices, including the Free Software Foundation, which develops and distributes GNU, a collection of free software operating system utilities; the Debian project, which distributes a complete free software operating system based on GNU and Linux; and the Foundation for Free Multimedia Technology, which develops free software commonly used for media playback."

Overall this seems to clarify the legal distinction of installing a legally-obtained OS on all electronic devices you own. Jailbreaking of mobile phones was ruled legal in 2009--but that only covers a small subset of electronics which are becoming increasingly locked down.

Having the full Common Crawl uncompressed in disk with some indexing and RAID-1 is becoming quite feasible (easily under $10k). The size of the text part of the web is growing a lot more slowly than the price of storage for maybe 10 years. At this rate anyone would be able to have a full crawl of the web in their mid-range desktop computers in just a few years. Here's hoping for good weather in Thailand. :-)

You need how much right now, 200TB tops? including index files, uncompressed data and replication. With some clever compression and data structures you can probably cut that by half or less. Financially speaking this is already on local club territory.
"So with that being the case, couldn't this problem be solved? All it will take is a push for bands to stay away from huge labels and for listeners to find that music. That's where Spotify should come in.
What's interesting about this entire thing is that a long tail company like Spotify is potentially able to shift the power from the shit that most major labels produce to better and more meaningful music. If Spotify can find a way to direct people's tastes away from most major label garbage, they might be able to solve this issue."

In response to this there was an older article posted here about some of the numbers behind Spotify: http://pansentient.com/2011/04/spotify-technology-some-stats...
One quote in particular speaks to your point, interestingly in a section called "The Short Tail?":

"During a week-long analysis of all music played via Spotify:
88% of track accesses were for the most popular 12% of all tracks on Spotify.
79% of server requests were for the most popular 21% of all tracks on Spotify."

While it might be a nice idea that Spotify could somehow shift user taste towards more independent artists, the numbers here seem to say that people go to Spotify for mainly popular, culturally relevant tracks. I think a company attempting more of what you're saying is the YC company Earbits with their model focusing on discovery of smaller artists. Personally I'd rather listen to popular music I know on Spotify, and I think most people feel the same way. I just wish there was a viable business model there. Music is a very tough vertical.
