I actually see a lot of mainstream media picking up items from here as well.
I actually think part of the problem with Wave was too much marketing. There was a TON of fanfare in the tech world when that was released.

I think the main problem with Wave was a crappy product. The tech was amazing and the interface was cool, but the product was buggy and unresponsive at times. It was a geek's dream though.

They tried to release a full product with the full power of the Google brand behind it when they should've spun it off into a side project and introduced each feature in an iterative way until it gained enough traction. That's the whole point of treating each department as a startup: develop your product alongside your customers one MVP at a time.

Even Apple does this, they could just take bigger leaps because whatever people say about him, Jobs was a fucking genius when it came to designing technology.

Apple has no hype machine. The machine is created and operated by media, pundits and so-called experts and analysts. This probably helps Apple more than hurts, but the company gets some bad press just because someone dreamt up what will Cupertino release and then feel cheated when cancer-curing-iPhone-GazillionS does not show up.

And you are right about refinements. There is a nice piece just about that: http://tidbits.com/article/12856

Export Message to OFT File Format & PST Reading Performance Improved
We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Email for .NET 1.6.0. In this version we have introduced the EnumerateMessageObjects and EnumerateMapiMessages methods to the FolderInfo class to improve the PST reading performance. These methods allow you to quickly iterate over the messages present in any PST folder and significantly reduce the execution time for such processes. With this release you can also add time zone information with an appointment request and save any message to OFT file format. The main new and enhanced features added in this release are listed below

•	Implemented InternetMessageId property in Aspose.Email.Outlook.Pst.MessageInfo
•	Added timezone information in Appointment Request
•	Added ability to save OFT file format
•	Improved PST reading performance
•	OutlookPSTFileViewer demo included in Aspose.Email for .NET installer now compiles
•	TO field duplication in EML is fixed now.
•	MailMessage now shows attachments of EML
For work, no. We're heavily based around mapping tools which don't degrade well (if at all) so optimizing for the non JavaScript users makes little sense for us.

Most of my personal projects also require JavaScript because they're things that I build to play around with new technology.
I remember that this was under discussion a while back - whether to keep a separate tab or not - sadly, it was decided against at that time (though it might not have been needed at the time)..
He's not quite making the leap I thought he would, so I'll make it.

Our browsers are dumb, and encourage 'search'. Google's made inroads by making a faster browser that makes it easier to 'search' (through them, of course), but keeping track of that information in the browser sucks. Browser bookmark tools are a joke, and web-based ones, while better, generally aren't much better.

I envision a 'browser' that can track my behaviour, watch what I do, show me more detailed history info, make 'history' part of my 'search' results, adapt my search to my behaviour and more. Perhaps Google will be the ones to do this, but they'll only do it if they can show us more ads (or "more relevant" ads).

Ideas: "history" on chrome, for example, shows me a little information on pages in my history, but not too much. Did I copy/paste information from that page? How long was I on it? Show me thumbnails from that page. Show me other meta data from that page (author, friends that shared it on facebook/g+, etc). Information on what I did with info on that page is often what I'm looking for, not just every page in my history with a particular word on it. Screenshots would help jog my memory, but so would something that said "you copied 'foobarbaz' from this page and emailed it to sam" next to a history result.

Merging in local bookmarked and historical pages in with regular search results. Or, more to the point, merging in external search engine results when I'm searching through browser history. Have an option to make searching my local history the default, with extras merged in from google/bing/yahoo/etc.

None of this will happen overnight, but... there's a huge amount of metadata associated with the activity with page data that isn't being used, because having us go to a browser bar and search (again!) for the same data we found 2 hours ago is more profitable. Our browsers are dumb right now, and there's quite a lot more that could be being done to take advantage of the local intelligence that lives on our desktops or in our devices.
Mainstream media is ok, mainstream articles are probably not (Google glasses, Instagram for Android etc.).

Couldn't this vulnerability simply be published without mentioning who is directly affected? E.g. "under x and y circumstances, it is possible to do z and everyone is advised to check and correct this".

If this is not an option it means it is something very specific of that company, and what would be the purpose on releasing the vulnerability to the public?

Yes, I only really "search" google etc when I am looking for new information (which is quite often). For frequently visited sites there are bookmarks etc.

I guess there are people (sometimes me) who use google as their navigation bar, but in such a case they are not really using google as "search" anyway,
Notch suggested on twitter that there would be more than 1 CPU for each ship , so I imagine multitasking would work that way.

Google To Launch Third-Party Commenting Platform
> "Why didn't we place an order?" "Because the computer decided not to and I have no idea why."

This may or may not be a problem. Remember, human intuition evolved to be able to give a fast answer to any question in the face of insufficient data, not an optimal answer to specific questions with sufficient data. In many domains, once you have appropriate data and the means to statistically analyze it, an algorithm using such analysis can reliably outperform human experts - and in some cases, the problem was the political one of how to get the human experts to accept this, take their hands off the wheel and stop second-guessing the algorithm.

In other words, if you are dealing with such a domain, you may be better off to count your blessings, let the computer do its job and save the humans for tasks that can't be handled by a formula.
Chinese websites defaced by Anonymous
Here in NL we have "Chipknip" which is exactly the same as you describe.

The advantage this system has over debit is that the terminal does not need to have a network connection. So individuals can make small purchases at coffee machines, parking meters, etc. You do need to "top up" your card at an ATM-like station (Pin # required), but you don't have to enter your pin when you make a transaction.

If you loose your card, or your card breaks, you're screwed, which is why I don't like the system very much.
There are two books co-authored by Patterson and Hennessy. Which one do you mean? "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" or "Computer Organization and Design: the Hardware/Software Interface"?
Open textbook startup raises $8 million, amidst lawsuit from major publishers
One could make the argument that we're moving down that path. Ever heard a conversation with someone who doesn't have a mobile phone? People can't believe why someone wouldn't have a cell phone. Pay phones are gone, emergency call boxes on the highways are gone. If you don't have a cell phone, you can't reach emergency services in many areas of travel. If you're not able to be in constant contact, people get suspicious.

It's a far cry from being officially branded as a person of interest, but if you don't have a mobile phone, you're out of mainstream society.
Illegal. And juvenile.
I like the feel of the website; it was designed nicely. But I'm concerned about the concept's uniqueness.

How are you more unique than the comparable alternatives that exist? Google HangOuts, Skype, etc?

How will you overcome the fact that major players are already heavily in this field?

How will you make money?

Looks like implementing this thing is becoming the new national passtime, at least based on the number of different implementations that have been discussed on HN in the last day.

I wonder how long till someone implements it in minecraft?

The developer mindset on Windows is still stuck in the 90s, and most of the exploits are due to the laggards who've never taken the user experience for updating very seriously (Adobe, Sun/Oracle, various streaming video players, etc.) or treating security as an optional feature and installing with insecure defaults (see previous list).

Mac culture has been less user-hostile for a long time so Mac apps usually have e.g. automatic updaters (and rarely the crazy login-to-vendor-website-to-download insanity) and lack installers, making it less common to require authentication or slop things around the entire filesystem. This is not perfect but it avoids some of the pathologies which Microsoft (and Chrome) are slowly dragging the Windows community out of.
Toy for some perhaps, also seems like a fantastic way to learn Scheme. Worth the price to learn something that valuable, in my opinion.

Malware creators are going to get more creative and more dangerous now that Windows is better and Macs are more popular. Technical countermeasures can only do so much against a determined mind with a strong incentive.
Ray Kurzweil:

"At what point do humans cease proliferating? How many humans can Earth reasonably accommodate?

We can actually accommodate a greatly expanded biological population. We have 10,000 times more sunlight than we need to meet 100 percent of our energy needs. The total amount of solar energy produced each year is doubling every two years and has been for thirty years and is only about seven doublings from meeting all of our energy needs. There is a similar analysis with water and food and production of housing. The vast majority of land is not used today for human habitation. But ultimately – about a century from now – we will be more concerned with resources for our non-biological brains and bodies than our biological ones."

Won't someone please think of the robot bodies!?!
CEOs and the Candle Problem
I've met a bunch of people who don't drink, but are perfectly able to socialize in those situations. It seems to me you're bothered by those few who can't handle liquor, and making a huge generalization about people who drink. No worries, it seems to be a common mistake in those rants. But I have to disagree with the title of your post: You're not being excluded by people who drink. You're excluding yourself.
That is wrong. Maybe the current client implementation cannot do this, but the open block chain allows one to exactly see where a coin originated (i.e. whether is is Canadian or not). Alternative implementations could then be told to specifically spend the Canadian or regular coins.
When I was in Denmark I found really irritating the pay Danish students get for University (600 euros net). You can put it any way you want, but that creates all sort of bad incentives and crappy education (which I did see. VIA, anybody?).

Most of those "free" things are not really free also. You will pay them with extremely "unfair" taxes (180% of tax on the value of a new car, anybody?) and a State that believes is fine to dictate the proper way of doing things.

No thanks.

Yes, even http://news.ycombinator.com/classic has been affected.
I'd say a couple of years ago - gradeful degradation was a must.

Nowadays - unless you're running some kind of viral service (facebook, twitter etc.) that benefits from masses instead of customers, it's not a requirement.

Still a nice to have, but if people can't update their software, they should 'suffer the consequences'.
Your comment makes me very happy I don't own a hp jetdirect, or I might've ended up wasting my easter.
Great article. What really strikes me about this is that we just saw Google's new glass video - a device in which search is primarily implied. Google knows search is dumb and wants to fix it, primarily through external devices (android) that are context aware and have access to incredible amounts of personally relative data. They can't kill their money cow, not directly, and haven't shown us how they'll monetize products without relying on ads, so they'll have to leave search alone, at least for now.
United Nations WIPO gifts North Korea with tech worth $50k
Granted, I am neither a patent expert nor a homomorphic encryption expert, but how is this patentable since homomorphic encryption is just a mathematical formula?

From Wikipedia [1]: Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption where a specific algebraic operation performed on the plaintext is equivalent to another (possibly different) algebraic operation performed on the ciphertext

[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption
Same here. I think everybody who has written Lisp and used a tablet had the same idea.
He's got an electrical junction in an uncovered box. That's a fire hazard. And even if he boxed it properly (by removing the outlet box and replacing it with a junction box) it would be against code to plywood over the frame and make the junction inaccessible. To do this properly he could have left the original outlet accessible in a little well and ran an extension cord to it, or he could have run a wire into the back of the box, through the wall, to a new outlet box higher up. He would have had to keep it directly above the old box to avoid trying to snake the wire horizontally through framing, but that would probably be ok.

Now that I think about it, there is probably a code violation in having his new outlet so close to the hvac vent, and also having it horizontal without using a covered floor-style outlet.

Fugu - Procedural geometry with Lua
The problem is not about what happens when you make it big. The immediate problem is much before that, that young startups die because they dont get investment.

That's where the problem lies, that the danish state makes laws made for huge corporations and forget they all started as small seedlings and without small startups nothing will turn into big employers/tax paying companies.

Another example, today we just received a letter that we will be charged income tax for the company, on income we havent earned yet, but they think we will earn this year. Its insane, haven't they heard of cashflow?
Some time ago. It has a "pasting" JIT for as a first optimisation stage, which just pastes together machine code for each opcode, to remove the overhead of interpreting.

Note that it does just interpret by default.
If people skip Denmark entirely, that's one thing, but many of the companies trying to dodge taxes on lucrative exits were built on very generous government funds, and only dislike the Danish social model later, after having taken advantage of it for years when it suited them. For example, Playdead has received around $2m in government funds during the past few years, not to mention all the free health care for its employees. Now, its owners now are looking for ways to leave the country to lower taxes on a possible sale, which to many Danes seems like an attempt to cheat the system, against at least the spirit of the arrangement under which they accepted the funds.
With a simple difference: Google executes their vision faster than Microsoft's and Nokia's future visions.
I think this raises two issues:

1) It can be difficult to know whether customers are (or could be) affected. Just because the author can't find the case doesn't mean someone else can't.
2) If the company refuses to fix this broken window, they may find other broken windows that aren't worth fixing, which may affect users. By releasing the vulnerability, one can force the company to become more conscious towards security in the long-term.
Quietest place on earth messes with the head.
I really hope this sees the light of day and they are able to execute on it the way it looks in the video. Unfortunately, I have seen too many cool videos come from research labs or highly paid scientists/engineers at tech companies and nothing ever comes of it - or rather, in a meaningful way to me anyway. Microsoft surface anyone?

One of the things I LOVE about Apple is...if they released this video, I know I could expect to see it on store shelves in a month or at most a few months. Sometimes even as little as a few weeks.

That's awesome.

With this....only God He knows when we will ever see this.
If you get some headphones (not even music needed, though it helps) it will make them think twice about trying to talk to you because the interruption is so much more noticable. It works quite well for me.
Heirs to Old Money Plunge Into Tech
I did the same thing in my first apartment, which I shared with two friends from college. My room was too small for anything but a bed and one wall was 9 feet, so I built a high platform for the bed with a lower 3' platform as a landing, and a set of stairs leading up to the landing. Underneath the landing I had a closet, and under the bed I had room for a small home office.
>And don't try to predict peak oil - every single prediction ever made of it has been wrong. And not just a little bit wrong, wildly incorrect.

Leaving aside that that's a terrible reason to stop even trying to predict something, I haven't found this to be the case at all.

Since about 2000 the date that's been put out was 2004-2006. The recession did indeed delay that a couple years, but we've still never extracted more oil than we did in 2008 despite continued high prices (vs. say the 1979 peak, after which oil prices collapsed).

>Every time we seem to run out of oil or natural gas we find more - known oil reserves have never been higher.

Helped in part by the fact that the OPEC nations (which account for ~80% of those reserves) allocates daily production limits in proportion to known reserves. So the more oil you claim to have, the more oil they let you produce! When the rules changed in the 1980 there was a gold rush of "revisions" that increased global oil reserves by 33%.

Peak oil is not "running out of oil," so the fact that that hasn't happened is not a real argument.

If you honestly believe that a global economy in which oil production has been flat for 4 years despite high prices, in which only 14 of the 54 oil-producing nations are growing production, in which another 30 are in active decline–forcing them to import more oil and more every year just to maintain current consumption (let alone fuel growth)–is a global economy in which peak oil isn't taking place, then I honestly don't know what to say.

Yeah, it makes me angry too.
There is no hoopla outside of the echo chamber. If you want a truly amazing language I would suggest things like Haskell, Racket, Clojure, Erlang, Smalltalk, and/or Common Lisp.

If you're looking for more batteries included then I'd suggest Python or perhaps Ruby. Things are always going on in those communities and they've made some great killer apps like Blender (python), Rails (Ruby), Django (Python) and countless more. These languages are just as flexible as Perl, though they have their strengths and weaknesses in different places than Perl does.
wow, never heard of it. what is this 'classic' exactly?
