Is that the Telus downtown condo setup? I saw ads for it as recently as a couple of months ago, is it really no longer available?

Also... 5 megabit upload hurts when you have 100 megabit down.
Why does that make everybody happy? What I got from the article was that the difference in cost to the ISP for having someone connected at all and using a ton of data had grown increasingly minimal in recent times.

The one issue concerning London Olympics is Dow Chemicals sponsoring it, but there has been opposition in India and NGO for their role in Bhopal Gas Tragedy in 1984.

If stratfor was gathering intelligence and buying silence for Dow, then it would be indictment and self implication
Did I imply in any way that such political misconduct was ethical? No. Did I suggest "the electorate" qualified as a "government official"? No.

I was simply impugning an absolute statement that blanketed a great number of honorable intelligence gathers as "the enemy", and promoted a great number of sketchy government officials as allies.

Corruption is paying an official to change or ignore a law to benefit you at the expense of others. Incentivizing an official to leak intelligence (most likely not constitutionally obtained in the first place) doesn't fit that definition. If it did, half of the New York Times' Washington bureau would qualify as "the enemy".

No, "cathartically" means what I think it does. I wouldn't call someone an enemy and really mean it unless that enemy was deliberately trying to harm me or my family. Any other use would be an attempt to invoke emotions.
Nice. What sets Fleck apart from the rest?

You seem to be taking offense to something that wasn't said. The term "hijacking" is used here in much the same sense as "signal hijacking" or the program Audio Hijack. The relevant part of the "hijack" imagery is forcibly taking over the way a transport. It essentially means they are causing DNS requests to return against-spec responses.
Dropbox on Android is pretty pathetic. It doesn't actually do sync - you get a file browser not too much different than the dropbox web site interface, and can download files one at a time! You can also choose to upload files although you can't select an entire directory at once. This is closer to a crappy ftp client than the desktop sync solution everyone is familiar with. They did however recently just add auto upload of photos and videos.

It should be noted that Dropbox on iOS is even worse (same download one file at a time mechanism) since you can only upload photos and videos, rather than any arbitrary content. Every iOS app that wants Dropbox integration has to add its own code to do all of it. On Android there is a centralized accounts system where Dropbox, Skype, Linkedin, Facebook and any other app with relevant permissions can publish an account. Other apps can then access those accounts (without getting the username/password - just a token) so they don't require heavyweight integration.

Android doesn't do calendar and contacts like Apple does. There can be multiple providers and they can each do whatever they want. For example Google stores those in the cloud, as does Linked and Skype so there is nothing to do to have them in sync. You can see the union of all relevant providers at once.

BTW one huge advantage Android has over iOS is that you do not have to keep re-entering passwords all the time. It totally bewilders me that iOS users aren't up in arms at how often you have to keep entering it.
If you've developed it to the point of product and seed funding, then you can justify holding out equity pretty easily. I would suggest that you offer a third. You need to be generous because if they're going to be a co-founder then you're going to need them to have a honest stake in the company otherwise they won't take it seriously.

It might suck because you feel that you did all the work, but you're going to need a long term view.

I had a hard time accepting this in my past experience partnering with people so the venture eventually failed.
I haven’t tried recently, but maybe if I tried to open an Elsevier article from the computer in my departmental office I would have no trouble. But all that would say is that Elsevier didn’t have a completely stupid system for opening articles. [Edit: Since writing that paragraph I have discovered that I can open Elsevier papers with no trouble at all from my office, and with only a small amount of effort from home. But others may not be so fortunate.]

This leader of the boycott seems to know less about the details than I would expect. Maybe it doesn't change the principle of the thing.

This is one of James' better posts. The best tidbit was probably how the douche in the series is smart enough to always leverage and position himself as an intermediary through social interaction.
I think Stratfor is an example of this trend of for-profit private outsourcers of things which used to be government-only functions.

Political science types are fond of saying "government must have a monopoly on the use of XYZ", but apparently now if you put the right retired government people on your payroll it's legit.

Military intelligence, international informant "asset" management? Good grief, this is some scary stuff.

"You handpick facts and twist them"

If you think the facts that I or the original poster (or anyone else) have presented about the Israeli
treatment of innocent Palestinian civilians, or about Israeli public relations, are selective, then let's see all the facts.

That doesn't mean "let's change the subject to Sudan". It doesn't mean "let's call him an antisemite".
It also doesn't mean "let's make stuff up".

For example, you claimed that Israel doesn't glorify infanticide and I provided the link showing that snipers from the IDF Givati Brigade glorify the shooting dead of fetuses enough to wear Tshirts about it. Or you said that I provided "very little support" for my contentions about Israeli public relations, when in fact I provided the term in Hebrew hasbara that any reader can google and wikipedia for and decide for themselves.

It looks pretty silly when you make up stuff that a reader can falsify by looking on the same web page.

Worst of all, you keep trying to allege that I said that Jews - control the media, when what I talked about was Israel supporters
- organize public relations.

This is called ad-hominem. You are trying to label me as Hitler because you are on the wrong side of the facts about Israel's treatment of innocent Palestinian civilians, and so you can't stand seeing these facts on Hacker News and wish to censor them.

It is intellectually dishonest and I read it as a violation of the Hacker News Guideline:
"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."

I will therefore not reply to you further.
As far as I'm aware, to exit the turk-booth you simply need to click "logout". Has someone proposed something different?

I live in the same area and get decent performance with sonic. Things feel fast. Until recently, I had Verizon FIOS, and Sonic doesn't feel all that much slower (or maybe I've become accustomed to the drop in speed). I love how the DSL just works; I have a DSL bridge, connected to an Airport Extreme, which doesn't need to fragment packets because Sonic gives you the full frame size (another reason I like Sonic). Note that you can find performance boosts just by improving the phone wiring in your home;I played with mine until I found a sweet spot.
I agree, but I think that is a double edged sword.

Let me give you an example: some people write off Apple by saying they didn't "invent" the tablet. Right, they "only" make the first one anyone was willing to buy. They "only" caused a seismic shift in the PC business doing so, sending shockwaves through every PC vendor out there. They "only" changed the direction and the conversation about personal computing.

Like you said, "innovation" is extremely over hyped, actually creating products, with fit and finish that people want to have, is probably more valuable than inventing a poorly made concept that nobody looks twice at, like smartphones and tablets of yesteryear.
So the argument that you are making is that because some illegal acts may ultimately be used in a way that can be seen as positive (the journalist analogy), you see no problem with a company acting illegally ('sleazy') on a regular basis?
I don't know if the video was ever actually taken down, but it's available now. Either YouTube has ruled in favour of the poster or Rumblefish is taking a cut of the advertising on the video.

If it's the latter, then I believe that makes Rumblefish guilty of copyright infringement, since they're profiting off the copyright (the video) of the poster.

DMCA request or not, that seems like it would be actionable.

> iPads have different ratio to iPhones/iPod right ?

Ah yes, 3/2 versus 4/3.

> New iPad 3 is rumoured to have Retina display...

Yes, but it will very likely keep the 4/3 aspect ratio, and like the iPhone will scale "non-retina" images automatically.

As I posted on a Facebook note from a communications representative at Facebook linked by veyron [0], Facebook, Flickr, and "others" could mitigate their "poor journalists write poorly-researched stories about us" problem by not contributing to Android permissions creep.

If Facebook asks for the SMS permission but doesn't actively use an end-user's messages, the end user is eventually more likely to accept a malware application that asks for SMS permissions and then silently steals their messages. Requesting feature permissions that aren't used visibly is terrible practice.

I think Apple got this particular policy right: their review process screens apps to make sure that visibly requested information is visibly used for something in the application, preventing every application from asking users for every bit of their personal information just to launch the app. In my experience the actual execution of said policy is spotty and inconsistent like the rest of the review process, but the idea is sound.

Thanks for your views formosa.

What if this person comes on board just for UI/UX? How much would you give him?

My problem is that this UX person will come through references. And its risky to make someone co-founder (i.e. give a reasonable stake in the company) without having worked with them in the past.

Thanks

> During the SOPA mess, a lot of people on this site were saying that the DMCA is fine, we don't need a new law.

The sentiment was mostly that DMCA provided enough and more than enough "protection for the artists" (as demonstrated by the numerous fraudulent DMCA cases over the year, DMCA is already way overboard).

Then again, this has little to do with DMCA, it's Youtube's content copyright management tools, producing entities don't even need a DMCA they can just go "I have the copyright on this" and down goes the video.
I'm using the Zuckerberg reference to point out what a joke the notion of Twitter as a due diligence source is. Wall Street has to perform MASSIVE due diligence on Facebook, likely the single greatest due diligence run in world history - and they're sure as hell not concerned about Zuck's Twitter account in that process.

I don't see anything that indicates my belief is incorrect. Quite the opposite, I'm living proof that I'm right.

My Twitter account doesn't have a single post on it. I deleted the 20 or 30 tweets it used to have dating back several years. My Facebook account is completely private. My LinkedIn account lists only my current project.

I raised the seed round for my latest venture, from a world class investor (a top 50 investor in the US tech market), with a demonstrated product, and absolutely nothing else. My product was solid, but not "fucking awesome" - it was good enough to prove I could execute the rest of the plan. It took about two months to build, and a net cost basis of maybe $50 if you proportion out the real infrastructure expense. The bottom line: I sold the investor on what I was going to do, how I was going to do it, and I had a good enough product to demonstrate credibility.
I've only bought up to one gigabit at the transit level, and it bottoms out at about $1/mbit currently at that commit.

So what are you really getting for $80/mo? If you try to really use (or abuse in some people's minds) that last mile gigabit, how long till you get cut or prompt crap like deep packet inspection and throttling? The "Internet" as we know it is a tricky thing.

I'd prefer something like 20mbps sync to the home that you're free to use as you see fit at that price point. The economics of this should work out fine.

Suburbia in general is only possible with supportive regulation. There is a reason Sonic's business model has only developed in very dense neighborhoods (4000 person/mi^2 vs <1000p/mi^2 for other suburbs).

If we are going to live in economically infeasible locations, relying on government subsidy to pay $30m/mi to build highways to shuttle us to work, then we are going to have to rely on subsidy for other aspects of our lives as well. The regulation/subsidy-free ship sailed about the time we started the national highway project, collectively bought an automobile company, etc.

Sonyericsson p800, released 2002, 5 years(!) before the iphone. Has a touchscreen covering the whole surface of the phone. You could even stretch it as far as R380, disregard that it's black and white and has no apps and you basically have the iphone form factor.

The iphone might be the first phone that put together all the elements in a really good way and raised the bar for UX on a phone but they certainly did not invent neighter smartphones, touchscreen-phones or phones with apps.
The ethics committees that have to approve most bioscience research could also mandate open access. Fundamentally I think this is an ethical issue, particularly where people volunteer as research subjects for clinical trials.

I love the intent, but find it doesn't work for me so well.

I find my best writing comes an hour or so in after immersion into the rhythm of what I'm writing. I'm just not warmed up at 8am.

I like to start my day with a moment of silence, even if it's brief. I go outside if it's not freezing cold , or just sit quietly with some tea or coffee and smile.

Perspective makes the things I do produce more worthwhile.
The problem with Sonic's DSL is that they are still dependent upon AT&T for the copper lines. I've been fighting with them for 3 weeks to get a stable DSL connection (I have their bonded service). After a tech visit everything starting working better (I think it was a config issue on the router).

But it was quite apparent that for Sonic, AT&T is a big problem. For most of their coverage area, they are still dependent upon AT&T to actually hook their customers up. And AT&T has no interest in maximizing your Sonic ADSL2+. They'd rather you buy VDSL/Uverse from them. I think this is what drove Sonic to start working in Fiber. Not only was it the only way to get gigabit speeds, but it was the best way for them to take control of their own destiny. When you own the fiber, you can make your customers happy. When you rely on AT&T for the copper lines, you are limited in what you can do.

(For the record, I'm in Redwood City and getting ~12Mbps down with 2 bonded lines from Sonic).

I had the same thought ten years ago. I think this is the best way to work. It was never accepted by the clients though.
6 months ago I would have agreed but Apple has surpassed Android in this respect. With iOS you get for free:

* Calendars, contacts, notes, reminders, bookmarks, reading list, etc.

* Full device back-up (including all third party applications, settings, etc)

* iCloud Documents / native APIs

* PhotoStream (photo syncing between devices)

For a price:

* iTunes Match

It's amazing how quickly things change.
Perhaps it's not "passive aggressive" in terms of the DSM criteria but it's certainly not constructive:

1. it asserts authority ("right") rather directly addressing the underlying issue (the concerns the users of the bathroom have with hygiene and "pragmatic" efficiency)

2. it ends with the line, "Thank you for your co-operation", which is offensive and condescending because the author of the sign expects co-operation and consideration without offering any in turn because they are "right" (when clearly the target of the message doesn't care what's "right")
I guess you missed the bit where it says: "He received C$10.5 million and prime minister Stephen Harper formally apologized to Arar for Canada's role in his "terrible ordeal" .[9][10]"

Sure, money doesn't necessarily negate a wrong completely, but this case is a good example to illustrate that the rule of law is supreme.

Moreover, I think there is a massive difference between Alquaeda related suspicions, etc, and other activities. I think they are considered to be enemy soldiers, therefore different standards apply.

The ultimate point is, you shouldn't be scared from your own government. You live in a country where the rule of law reigns supreme and your freedom is protected by the constitution. No need to self-censor, or be paranoid.
