> Google Search automatically returns results in the language you choose for Google product text, but you can also request results in many other languages.

Try setting German at "For Google text" (first on language preference page). I did, and got several german hits. Whereas, merely adding "german" for the search results (second on language preferences page) didn't add any.
It's a hassle, but a solution is to change your "For Google text" setting. for each language you want.

It seems to me that the vastly greater number of english results would simply out-weigh the german resuls. The german results will still be there, but ranked much lower.

What's curious to me is that you say Google didn't formerly do this. Maybe they changed the weighting of the various languages from being equal to being weighted according to the results.

Probably searching with german terms will get german results, but again a hassle because you have to do it for each language.

EDIT following guelo's comment on "verbatim" under "All Results -> More Search Tools" on the left hand side, there's also a "Translated foreign pages" option. This gave me several results in other languages. Sounds like what you want.

BONUS: I noticed a "Search English and German pages" just under "Search the web" on the left hand side (I added German as a search language above). I think this is precisely what you wanted.

Google is impressing me.

I'd pay $1000 for the right app from any app store today.

The problem is they all suck because they do a few things well and none do the simplest the best. I've spent hundreds of dollars.

The closest I've found to being reasonable is omnifocus but it too is missing the calendar, but it does tasks well.
Saved searches are usually more trouble than they're worth; sensible URLs are far more flexible.

The problem with the maximum price is not that I'm entering "$0" it's that I literally can't reset the input to a null state.
If it's a dead man's switch and you're not a career criminal, I'm sure you could convince a judge that it slipped your mind because of the distress caused by being whisked off to jail. Probably not a guarantee that a judge won't say 'too bad' though.
Fair 'nuff. I think the Google Alumni organization tries to keep track of some things like that, but I have no idea how successful they are. I've never bothered telling them what I am up to. :-P

Exercise boosts autophagy, yes, just like all other hormetic stressors:

http://www.fightaging.org/archives/2011/03/an-overview-of-th...

It does a bunch of other things as well, many of which are likely to be as important. The bottom line is that aging is damage - an accumulation of broken molecular machinery in and around cells. Autophagy is a collection of repair processes inside cells that eliminate broken machinery, allowing it to be replaced with new-built versions. So all other things being equal you should have a better, longer-lasting body with higher levels of autophagy, or more efficient autophagy.

http://www.fightaging.org/archives/2008/03/all-roads-lead-to...

"Some research groups are making the case that all roads lead to autophagy, the process of tearing down and replacing worn cellular components, when it comes to enhancing healthy longevity through adjustments to metabolism. Examples include calorie restriction (CR) - which you can manage all by yourself today - or drugs that mimic some of the effects of CR on regulatory mechanisms in our biochemistry, which you're going to have to wait a little longer for. But it's all down to increased autophagy, they say."

(But of course all other things are never equal - that's half the fun of trying to understand the interaction of metabolism and aging given today's technology and knowledge. Lots of very fuzzy answers to imprecise questions).

----

Note that autophagy runs on a bunch of machinery that can be damaged over time just like all the rest of the cell's inner workings. The chief culprit here is an accumulation of things that the lysosome, the furnace into which all the broken machinery is thrown, cannot handle. So lysosomes, a roving fleet of furnaces in your cells, become bloated and malfunctioning as you grow older, stuffed to the gills with gunk that they can't break down.

One solution under development is bioremediation using bacterial enzymes - supporting the SENS Foundation will help speed this research:

http://www.sens.org/sens-research/research-themes/lysosens

----

Senescent cells, now, that's distantly related but a whole different thing. See:

http://www.sens.org/sens-research/research-themes/apoptosens

Senescent cells have removed themselves from operation due to age or damage and are requesting destruction - under the best of circumstances, anyway. It is the immune system's job to kill off these lost cause cells - and the precancerous cells, and nip a bunch of other problems in the bud while it's at it - but the immune system becomes increasingly weak with age, and hence the growth in the number of unculled senescence cells. These cells sit in tissue as increasingly bad actors, well past their sell-by date, taking actions that harm surrounding cells and structures.

Exercise impacts the immune system: it unambiguously improves it, all other things being equal. It's not unreasonable to expect that exercise helps with senescent cells in part because of its effect on immune system health:

I've solved some coding challenges I come across, but mostly because I wanted a little diversion. Generally those problems give me an excuse to practice lesser used languages or languages I want to learn. I've been contacted by companies after solving these, but I always decline.

In regard to the change in hiring practices, "social presence resumes" are just a passing trend. It may result in better candidates in the short term, but people will learn to pad these new resumes and it won't be much more effective than paper resumes.

The best hiring practice will still be tapping your employees' social network and hunting down talented people who aren't happy in their current positions. Anything else is usually a shot in the dark.
Amusing that Apple has been avoiding the whole LTE rush themselves. Pundits claim this is due to it still needing a lot of room in the device and using a lot of power currently so makes for a worse user experience overall.

I'm not trying to refute or support the article's claim that Verizon picked LTE, a GSM technology, to move to so as not to miss another iPhone-like success. Just pointing out the amusing fact that the latest GSM technology hasn't been picked up by Apple yet.
Agreed, Redhat 9 was hell but Ubuntu saved Linux for me. I hardly ever have any problems, especially the crapware, malware, 30 different "please update me" popups kind of problem that are a dime a dozen on windows. I also like that I know what's going on with the system all the way down to the bare metal.

The main thing that I can't use Linux for: Watching Netflix or other premium content is largely solved by the fact that I do all that, and play video games on my big screen TV via a PS3 and the built in Netflix/Amazon Video features of the TV.

They can certainly dictate. Apple has the money and volume to get anything they would like. If Apple told Foxconn that everyone making Apple products will be paid triple what they are making now and work no more than 8 hours a day, it could happen tomorrow.

I'd be really interested in doing a tech startup (well, moving one) to Las Vegas -- aside from a stupid Clark County registration law, and the risk of financial/social problems due to so many foreclosures, it would be great. Good infrastructure, cheap flights, super cheap housing (sign me up for a 4500 sf McMansion for $300k...), etc. Easy to get people to visit for a few weeks at a time, easy to get hotels, generally low cost of living, and 24h everything, subsidized by old people and stupid people who can't do math.

Everyone at my startup is into firearms, so we'd far prefer Nevada to California. Clark County's handgun registration law is the main reason we haven't bought a place there already.

Schools suck, but that's not personally an issue, and I'm sure a 100+ person company with ~10 students could figure out a solution for employees.
What happens when Foxconn does that and every other company switches to Foxconn's competitors?
Yes, extremely bold move.

Take this as someone who had a company move to Vegas and more than half (including myself) the company left because of it. There is a certain type of people that can stand the culture and atmosphere that is Vegas, and intelligent tech people usually aren't that type.
Is it just me who is slightly uneasy at the idea that one company can generate billions in profit at the expense of millions of people who had to pay much more than the product was actually worth to produce. Is that a fair bargain, or is it exploitation of a monopoly of invention?

Google adds a feature that allows more personal relevancy to searches and now they're evil?

I really don't understand the tech world's tendency towards group-think. First, the cult-like relationship with Apple (and M$ to some degree), then these wails of outrage when Google add a quite innocuous little feature that many people (myself included) will like.

Google are not forcing you to use SPYW, you can turn it off.

Google are not angels. Google are very far from evil. Quit the hyperventilating.
I've had the same experience. The batteries seem to go bad really really quickly, and the recharge potential degrades extremely rapidly with re-use. After just a few charges, they will hold essentially no charge.

I did find a way to get the charger to recognize them. Get a screwdriver and connect + to +, - to - terminals of the dead battery with a live one. That puts a little charge in and the charger can then see that it's a battery and do its thing.

Then my expensive charger croaked. I got a new one, but I'm starting to lose the faith.

> A fair argument may be made for compelling you to provide the key/combination to a safe, but only insofar as they CAN tear the safe apart with blowtorches & diamond saws if you don't cooperate.

Interesting argument.

Suppose I build a safe that costs $100 million to break open (because I spent $200 million of my ill-gotten money to hide $300 million more in ill-money).

Now you've found my safe during your tax evasion investigation, but you don't have close to $100 million in your budget. So you don't really have the ability to tear the safe apart. So they tell me I have to give them the combination.

Do I not have to help, in your opinion?
The Secret to Winning Any Debate in Washington Right Now
The same thing they did for when iPod sales declined (as they have): more new products in the pipeline (which they have).

My opinion is that Apple's strengths only really work in new things, and not for mature products. So, they have to keep finding new waves to ride (which is where they like to be anyway). Fortunately for them, one can also introduce a new thing into an old market (e.g. music, phones, tv, textbooks).

To answer your question: iPad, iTV, textbooks - and probably others. Note that the iPad 3 will have the resolution to display diagrams from textbooks (which the kindle didn't).

BTW: it's curious that the iPhone is still growing faster than the iPad. Maybe because the iPad 3 was delayed. Though, 128% and 111% are both OK :-)

To the beast in DC, it has absolutely nothing to do with the arguments you posit. You're talking about logic; it doesn't apply to their decision making.

It's about the money. That's why big oil has always been a target, it has been the most profitable enterprise in America since Rockefeller formed Standard Oil.

News flash: they also didn't target big tobacco because cigarettes are bad for you (that was merely the excuse they needed), or to pay for healthcare bills. They targeted them to steal / fleece a golden goose, and then divert the stolen money to other projects. Which is exactly what they did.
Yes, we believe the same thing about disrupting the language learning market!

There are a lot of well known products out there like Rosetta Stone but there are opportunities for startups to create more compelling and entertaining products at lower price points. We really wanted to create something that was also fun and addictive to play which is different to traditional language learning products.

Congratulations to Apple on a blow out quarter. BUT, I've got to ask the hard question. What the hell is Apple planning to do with their $97.6 BILLION in cash?

It's just you. Apple is a business.
Actually it's probable that web apps will replace iOS as the most important platform to developers, especially for apps dependent on network effects. Gaming that is asynchronously social is probably one space where one platform will dominate.
All business charge highest possible price for service and product that buyers in the market accept. The cost of making something is practically irrelevant. We all know raw material in a good restaurant costs only a fraction of price on menu. But people will all swarm there if it is a high rated by critics. Will you feel uneasy?
Is "superstitious" a euphemism for misinformation?
I don't see the problem.

It's not like they're price gouging on staple food products. Tablet computers and smart phones are practically luxury goods. A person buying one almost certainly has all of their important needs covered, and are buying them with disposable income.

And, perhaps more important, there are tons of alternatives. Nobody buys an iPhone not knowing there are hundreds of cheaper alternatives.

People "waste" their money on a lot of things I would never buy, but at the end of the day it's really their decision.

Let's say that tomorrow that 5% of income is what makes a difference between life or death from hunger; and at the same time, (rich) "people" are proposing a law that will literally kill whoever does not pay that 5%; do you pay and vote against the law, then die from hunger, or do you not pay and die from the hand of "the people"?

"In modern west" (as opposed to "in Soviet Russia"? lol), in some countries, less than 50% bother to vote in most elections, so the "to willfully ignorant" [sic] already don't take part; it's important they maintain their rights nevertheless. How many HN readers never bothered to deal with the US Congress before SOPA was proposed? Would have been right to deny them a voice?
