Twitter tells me my account may have been compromised - what does that mean?
I just got an email from Twitter:

----------------------------------
Hi, brazzy

Twitter believes that your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter. We've reset your password to prevent others from accessing your account.

You'll need to create a new password for your Twitter account. You can select a new password at this link:

[...]

Please don't reuse your old password and be sure to choose a strong password (such as one with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols).
----------------------------------

Wthat the hell does that mean? Can someone translate that from CRMese into techspeak? Did they give their account data to someone else? Did someone try to brute-force my account?

I barely use twitter and have never used third-party clients.

Being someone who have never got into this field and stats and only tackled with RDBMS, would it be useful for beginners?
Quite confusing page, that one. First, before the list of stats:

And in October we reached $100 million in pledges and had our one millionth backer.

Then, in the list of statistics:

Dollars Pledged: $99,344,382

Which seems to contradict the statement before the stats-listing. Then in the "analysis" section after the stats listing for 2010:

Total pledges were just shy of $100 million in 2011.

Confusing.
Trying to watch the conference[1]. Some people compared that guy to Steve Jobs, I personally think he's not a good orator but is trying to be. His first lines were "we are dumbasses, but now you guys are the dumbasses not me because I already joined free mobile". Pretty aggressive.

He's a fantastic engineer though. Trying to stream more and will edit after.

edit: having a really hard time to stream. Words that come back a lot in the first 10 minutes: "ras le bol" ("discontent" in a familiar way). He's insulting a lot the 3 other operators, give numbers and the source! (I like). It's actually very catchy to watch eventhough I think it's pretty brutal for an official show supposed to launch the 4th big operator in France.

edit2: apparently SFR one of their big competition is doing really bad in stocks these few minutes[2] and the first trend is indeed #freemobile[3] on twitter.

edit3: found a better link for the show[4]. Just finished it. Brilliant. The show was simple, as simple as the offer (only 2 plans). Brutal, easy to watch, beautiful. As he said at the end of the video, there will be a before and an after january 10th in France (something you cannot really grasp if you're not from there).

If anything, I think the US carriers should be blamed for the imprisonment of mobile technology. It doesn't matter how advanced the Android OS becomes if the hardware on the market can't handle it. Consumers are locked up for 2 years with outdated devices, and the OS developers need to intentionally lag themselves to suit the entire market.

I understand that the carriers are only doing their job, but I feel like a new system needs to take place - maybe sign a 3 year contract, but allow updates each year with discounts.

I don't exactly know what other ramifications such a system may cause, but I for one would love it. I don't see myself changing carriers unless something major happens, so I would be happy to sign for a longer "enslavement" for the tradeoff of being able to update my phone more regularly.

These days everything is going high tech. We live in a world surrounded by technological advancements and this is helping us to make our lives better. Today tech advancements are not only helping us to be easily accessible but also making our presence felt global.
I've only seen the introduction video.

The video's claim is that we get bored because we have very specialized work. And it contrasts with the wonderful life we had 300 years ago when we lived in tiny communities doing non-specialized work.

I don't see why I should agree. Firstly, I don't know people were not bored with their work 300 years ago. Secondly, I don't know that most people are bored with their work now.

One difference I do see between now and 300 years ago is that we have it much easier physically. We have lots of machines to do a lot of work for us. Some of us do not have the discipline to utilize such "excess time" for betterment (I'm one of them :( )

It's not got so much to do with "how we learn" but with what motivates us.

If an activity is not vital for my survival I tend not to take it so seriously. That's why I'm bored. My life is not being constantly challenged.
I had your gameplan, but in the late 1990s. Spent a couple years in China, struggled with a number of issues, including significant cultural and language barriers with the local programming team.

My advice: only go to China as a expatriate hire with an established multinational firm.

Hm, but wouldn't that be specific to the current happenings rather than the basics, even if you go for an years subscription. It will definitely give a lot of insights. I don't follow 'The Economist', so you can correct me.
I'm so skeptical about this. Seems like the fall wasn't really that fast.
it's too bad that the discussion around this, both as given in the title of the post here on HN, and the description of the problem, are needlessly inflammatory and obscure the real interesting thing that is going on: the source code release is essentially moot & probably sufficient under the terms of the gpl v2 because the keys that make the kernel valid to the device's bootloader were not released.
I feel a little stupid in not really understanding the significance of this blog post. So what are the examples suggesting? I can't seem to notice anything too radical.

One thing that I've noticed/learned of web typography is that fonts with edges (Times New Roman) work well offline on actual paper, but is extremely hard to read on-screen. After realizing this, I started to notice that most fonts meant for on-screen reading were edge-less (sans-serif).

Carriers (operators to us non-Americans) do actually have a similar control in all of Europé, including the Nordics, as well as in Asia and Oceania. While as a consumer you may have seemingly more open options for pre-paid etc, for a handset manufacturer you cannot shift significant volumes without subsidies and POS space in operator stores. A lot of people cannot afford a handset at retail price and that is what keeps the power with the operators despite having some of the most horrendous customer service of any industry.
No there shouldn't.

The odds of living to even 130 under his equation are 1 in 4.8*10^47. That's just a ...tad.. more people than have walked this planet.
I believe the 4S did away with distinct models for GSM and CDMA. The cellular chip it uses can handle both, much like the Galaxy Nexus. (Unsure as to why the Nexus supports T-Mobile's AWS bands and the iPhone doesn't though, maybe the antennae.)

I would speculate that the reason carrier unlocked phones do not work with CDMA is related to their agreement with Verizon (and/or Sprint).

By reading the article I've got an impression of a successful escape from wage slavery. But the thing that struck me as odd is his new job in the promised land. How teaching English in China is not a dead-end job? I mean, one day you teach English to Chinese students, and suddenly you ... teach English to more Chinese students?
Well, sure. Except the equation gives a 2 in 7 billion chance of even making it to 114 (note that in reality your odds are empirically better). The odds of reaching 136 are 1 in 10^86. For comparison, there are only 10^80 atoms in the universe...

An iPad is really light so it has a very low terminal velocity (it is bulky), so I don't think they cheated. They did speed up the video in places though.

Apple, for all the shit they get for being “closed” and “evil”, has actually done far more to wrestle control back from the carriers and put it into the hands of consumers.

Don't think i agree here. Apple wrestled control from the carriers to put it in their own hands, not consumers. Just as any other profit oriented company would like to do... but it was no altruistic move. In fact you went from several carriers having to compete to one company calling the shots for the majority of the mobile market for awhile. Android has realistically been one of the few things that has kept the mobile market from being a monopoly (which would have been far worse than it was ).
There is a glut of hedge funds, the best large ones are usually closed to new investors. In a year where many struggled of course fees v return looks bad. 2% of assets and 20% of gains is a steep price but it is cheap when you get one of the best. Pension funds don't do a good job of selecting managers and every man and his dog has opened one just to collect 2&20 rent on the money. Very few managers have an edge and it can be impossible to tell which ones do. All statistics on hedge funds are of limited value as the samples are incomplete and skewed - it is an information game after all.
I don't know why you didn't mention it in the title, but I would think it's pretty relevant that it wasn't just an iPad. It was "An iPad with a G-Form Extreme Edge case". Doubt the survival is something the iPad should be credited for.

Yeah, you have to use Wifi to download apps over 20 MB. The podcast restriction only applies to the iTunes app, you can use third-party apps to download larger ones (except in the early days of the App Store, when third party podcast apps were forbidden)

Actually IIRC the whole iTunes music store is also disabled when you're on 3G and not Wifi. (edit: double-checked, yeah it's disabled for me http://db.tt/YT0w0rNQ )

Perhaps: iPad [with padding] Survives Fall From Edge of Space in Jaw-Dropping Video
It's true that you'll have more impact by contributing to a well-known project, but on the other hand the range of activities you can take part in is limited. Well-established projects usually don't call for high-level design activities - the sort that a tech co-founder would need to do. They're more about contributing patches and perhaps a new feature (after you've learned the project, which is usually quite big). Ultimately I think you get the same amount of karma if you work on a pet project and not a well-established one. And there's absolutely no reason why the company's sandbox project can't fill a real need and become popular with time.
Pretty awesome video, but it looks like they cheated a little bit by weighing the back of the device, so that it would land on its back rather than screen.

An iPad 2 weighs 1.33 lbs, and has ~0.5 sq. ft of surface area when flat, which according to this NASA applet [1] means its terminal velocity is 12.2 mph (17.8 ft/sec).

A drop at 12 miles per hour onto its back is probably not enough to destroy the iPad whether or not there is a case on it.

Although I do think this guy is naive and should reserve judgement until he has had real time to reflect, I don't think there is a tremendous difference between managing people's perceptions vs. managing a career. As it has been since ancient times, much of your success will be based on family and social ties, which are themselves mostly built on perception. We as techies like to imagine the world as entirely merit based, but of course business remains an inherently human enterprise.

I have encontered this attitude a couple of times also. Everything should be as general and generic as possible. Things should be called "meta data" instead of what enteties really are in the model.

If you argument for a structured relational model, with sane names for everything, you are dismissed as some sort of dinosaur, that just doesnt get it.

In my experience, these "generic" systems are the ones that eventually end up in development hell, containing an obscene LOC in proportion to the problem being solved, and are impossible for new developers to understand and modify.
There's a gap in his flow, at the beginning of the point where he goes off the rails.

"To be clear: Net Neutrality was thrown out in the wireless space because Google sided with Verizon’s ridiculous and horribly conflicted stance on the matter."

There is a strong and viable position that net neutrality is bad policy. In NN government declares winners and sandboxes areas where innovation is allowed.

You might not agree, but that's besides the point I'm seeking to make.

What's important is this: opposition to net neutrality is often falsely characterised, as here, as a pure corporate marketdroid position. It's not - it's a position with a firm idealogical basis that you may happen to disagree with.

The writer here borders on conspiracy mode here, "The open spectrum enemy, turned Net Neutrality enemy, became Google’s bedmate thanks to a business deal. Straight up. Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." The available evidence doesn't support that conclusion. It might be true, but the writer should hold his emotions back for things where the facts support a conclusion.

It's not good for anyone to have too much power. I don't want to live in a world where carriers dominate, but neither where a Microsoft or Apple can dominate through control of the software stack. We've only just emerged from a situation of Windows being all-powerful - by some interpretations it still is. Android is a great countermove to Apple's play to dominate the next twenty years. Even if there are some tradeoffs it's good for our freedom. Think church and state.

IPhone Celebrates 5th Birthday — How Has It Changed?
As a little addendum to that: the way that the articles of sites of some news agencies have this uncanny tendency to turn every single sentence in a paragraph of its own is something that's been bugging me. I know everyone feels like getting their article online as quickly as possible, but does that really have to make for worse content? I say worse, because if you take a step back and look at one of those articles it just feels like there's way too much whitespace and the entire article just looks like some laid out "tree" for content still to come.

Side note, I've been told, especially when in elementary school, that I made my sentences too long, though I was never sure if it was just the contrast with other kids. Do I still do that? It's been a while since someone told me so, not to mention that I'm not aware whether that property passed over to my English, a language I didn't "properly" start learning in high school, as a third language.

Due to the limitations on mobile devices. Currently they have few hardware buttons, touch screen, microphone and maybe camera. Right now the options are bounded by these limitations.

Fingerprint or iris recognition would require additional hardware. Most of the customer probably would not be willing to pay extra for these. Also they might be difficult to implement well on mobile device. And the unlocking must be very easy to use and reliable.
