Maybe it's obvious from some other source, but the judgement description on Justia doesn't really seem to support that. My impression (not a lawyer, haven't done any significant research into the case beyond reading provided links, etc) was that the case was determined based on non-literal copying. If I see the source code for an application and then write my own application that doesn't share code, but does share the overall structure and makes the same design choices, there's an argument that I plagiarised the original software just as much as if I took a novel and rewrote the same story in my own words.

That doesn't seem to be true of an API. A program is the embodiment of an idea, ie an expression - the same program can usually be written in a myriad of ways. An API is a functional description of how to interact with that program - there's no way to reimplement that API without it looking identical. An API may require significant design, but design is usually protected by patent law rather than copyright law.

So really the case hinges on whether an API is an expression or merely an idea. If the former, then it's copyrightable. If the latter, it's not. Johnson v. Phoenix doesn't seem to give us any insight into that.
Are you able to use classes from one college to satisfy the requirements of the other college? For example, if you meet all the liberal arts requirements in one college I expect that they will count towards the other degree right? The fact that you cannot call it a double major is merely a technicality is it not (Although in my mind it is still a double major)? What does it matter if they are not issued by the same college? I still don't see the difference. At the end of the day you have two degrees.

I think people really overstate how much bigger such a phone is compared to an iPhone in your hand. When people hear something like a 4.7" phone vs a 3.5" they must imagine it's like twice as tall or something. Galaxy S3 is only 2 cm taller and 2 cm wider than an iPhone. A picture comparing the 2 here:

http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files...

I've tried a 4.3" Galaxy S2 recently (I own a smaller older phone right now), and I could easily use it with just one hand, and yet there's this myth around the Internet ever since that misleading Curtis article that only 3.5" is the "perfect size" for one-handed use. It's not true. And no, I don't have large hands.

This could be the next big thing in the real-estate marketing - imagine being able to do a random walk-through of the inside of listed properties. Heck, I'd probably even pay some sort of fee for that as a buyer if I were actively looking for a place to live.

Prior Knowledge (http://www.priorknowledge.com) has a very similar API but a more interesting underlying model. They model the full joint distribution of the data, so any variables can be missing not just the outcome. They also are able to return the joint probability distribution over unknowns, which is extremely useful in terms of quantifying uncertainty.

The model itself appears very flexible:

I'm not affiliated with these guys but they are clearly doing the most interesting work in this area.
I'm surprised nobody seems to be addressing how easy it would be to accidentally move the cursor while using the keyboard.

Neat idea, but I don't see it happening.
Is this a YC company?
> iOS is a direct manipulation interface.

The keyboard is already breaking the direct manipulation paradigm -- you type at the bottom of the screen and text appears somewhere else. This feature is useful exactly because it's not direct manipulation. You are typing text; being able to control the cursor while doing that is brilliant. Tapping the screen is pretty much equivalent to, on the desktop, taking your hands off the keyboard and using the mouse.

I don't have an iPad but I do have an iPhone and I've found cursor manipulation to be a very frustrating experience. Trying to manipulate the address bar in Safari, for example, makes me want to pull out my hair. The cursor control just isn't fine enough.
The actual Facebook report says on page 49: "[...] in China, where Facebook access is restricted, we have near 0% penetration."

So they definitely know people are using it there.
Seated Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva Statue Buy
It seems even many of those who really love Android are extremely underwhelmed by this phone. It’s just another boring Android phone, there are tons of those. There is nothing exceptional or special about it.

There is only one iPhone every year.

You might say it’s not fair, but that different strategy is paying off for Apple.

(Hey, and there was lots of coverage. I saw it everywhere, no matter the medium. From The Verge to a German weekly news magazine. That’s not so much less than what the iPhone gets, in fact it might even be about equal. Is that your persecution complex flaring up?)
You'd have to have some pretty tiny pockets to not have this phone fit. My Galaxy Nexus fits fine in my Levis or suit pants and even feels a lot smaller in my pocket than my Motorola Droid did due to being a lot thinner. Hell, my Galaxy Tab 2 7" can (just barely) fit in my pocket though that's hardly something I'd actually carry around in my pocket. It has a "retina display" (306 PPI) but is a vibrant, high contrast-ratio AMOLED screen.

I'm honestly confused about what this nebulous hardware wow factor is that the iPhone has that this phone doesn't[1]. Not every Android phone has great hardware but this one does.

Why wouldn't the architects work on prototypes?

In my experience, class distinction between "architects" and "developers" is a red flag. Actually, the term "architect" is itself a red flag. Come to think of it, even the term "developer" is kind of a red flag.

A lot of red flags :)
If I owned Facebook stock, I would disclose that. Since I can't own it yet, but probably will after the IPO, I figured it would be worth disclosing.
IPhone 5 Screen - teophone forums
Yes, the phone hardware looks pretty nice. However, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) and was subsequently underwhelmed with their lack of ongoing support for the phone itself. I will not be purchasing another phone from Samsung unless it is a Google-branded phone (e.g., Nexus S).

Fool me once and all that.
When you compare any non-iPhone launch with an Apple launch there is a very detectable difference. TechCrunch live-blogs the whole damned thing. Pundits congratulate Apple for being so freaking badass. Then an MG Siegler post emerges that vaguely describes how Apple is now, seriously, for real, taking over the entire mobile market and no competitor really matters.

Apple re-releases the same form factor the've had for a year and a half with an HD camera and the world climbs up their asshole. Samsung releases a phone with an updated OS and an entire host of new features including cordless charger and auto-dimming, and it's crickets. I'm just saying that a lot of the "meh" factor lives only in your mind. Perception is reality. Apple has a cool factor so anything they release is assumed to be superior. Their competitors are viewed as stodgy, clueless copycats incapable of an original idea. That was true for a while, but not anymore.

Ultimately sales are what matter, and I think that the gap is going to narrow more and more between Samsung and Apple in the smartphone space. There are a lot of hardware companies that can be accused of mismanagement and an utter lack of innovation. Samsung is not one of them.
Looks really interesting. Any chance you know where to get an invite code for the beta?
As a (somewhat proud) European who loves pure science and space, I'm sorry to say I think your points are too accurate, put another way: is a waste of government's money when most EU governments are drowning in debt and really can't afford it.

Europe would be much better served by encouraging the kind of entrepreneurial space industry represented by SpaceX than handing more money to the European aerospace/military pork cartel of EADS and friends.
How does it deal with MCAR,MAR etc..(Missing data in training data set)?
If you don't understand what "non destructive" means in the context of an image editor you obviously will never grasp why PS is actually better than the GIMP, and it's only ONE of the bigger example I took to compare them.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WS2FD6768E-DB6B-4...
"Nondestructive editing allows you to make changes to an image without overwriting the original image data, which remains available in case you want to revert to it. Because nondestructive editing doesn’t remove data from an image, the image quality doesn’t degrade when you make edits. You can perform nondestructive editing in Photoshop in several ways:"

A Smart Filter will be reapplied to the object every time you make changes to the object. But not in an "applied twice" way, because changes are not set in stone, it doesn't degrade the original object.

Photoshop is so much more productive than the GIMP. Anyone who pretends that those two packages are equal should keep from talking about image editors.

Judging empirically, I'd say most actual CEOs can't handle it. That doesn't mean they don't get their golden parachute!

As I said, most CEOs nowadays seem to behave like mob "cleaners". You want them to come in, do the dirty work that needs doing, and then leave. You don't want them necessarily going somewhere else after leaving you. So you pay them a lot, because you want them to live quiet lives afterward.
Lava's XOLO X900, Intel Atom (1.6 GHz) based smartphone
He wants to be able to pass any Proc to his method, and any arguments supplied to the method are yielded onto target. A rough Objective-C equivalent would be something like this:

void animate(void (^block)(va_list), ...)
{
va_list args;
va_start(args, block);
block(args);
va_end(args);
}

void (^first)(va_list) = ^(va_list args) {
NSLog(@"%@", va_arg(args, id));
};

void (^second)(va_list) = ^(va_list args) {
NSLog(@"%@", va_arg(args, id));
NSLog(@"%@", va_arg(args, id));
};

animate(first, @"Hello World");
animate(second, @"Hello", [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:10]);

I would like to see the real-world code too. The frameworks in question revolve around Obj-C-isms, so to see something that completely deviates from those patterns will be interesting.

Dustin Moskovitz: Y Combinator’s “No Idea” Round Bad for Silicon Valley
Why are we still focusing on hardware when it is clear that software is just as, if not more important than appearance and feature set?

It has a big screen and fancy processor, but it's still Android, and until that blemish is removed, Samsung will always be a second rate cell phone manufacturer.

I say this as someone that will only buy Samsung in almost every other category.
Those guys love their spreadsheets - I can't even describe.

No, describe :)

Seriously, this kind of folklore is valuable (I work on spreadsheet systems and feed on this stuff). What do they do with spreadsheets? How do you know that they love them? What sort of enhancement has to be done in VBA? Does each of them make their own independent spreadsheets? if not, what kind of sharing do they do? What are the most significant limits/problems you've observed in their use of spreadsheets?

Samsung Galaxy S III Performance Preview: It's Fast
They are pretty responsive from my experience. The beta is definitely open.
This is really cool. I've actually been working on something really similar.

Early last year, we built a a breadboard with a Teensy microcontroller (instead of an Arduino) to decode signals from off-the-shelf door and window sensors. At the time, we had to reverse engineer the protocol using a oscilloscope. :) The breadboard was tethered to an Android device, which was the brain of the system (and this let us do other cool stuff, like video, networking etc).

We're much further along now (with working prototype units). If you're interesting in this kind of thing, we ARE hiring. :) (http://elarm.com)
"polyglot programmers that choose the best language for the job"

You just described the majority of Ruby coders I've ever worked with. (mentally scrolls work history roster of Ruby devs...)

Yeah, in fact you've just described all of them.

I'm sorry your sampling of Ruby coders has been so poor, and I'm sure you could present examples to defend your prejudice. I know the stereotype you're talking about. I haven't worked with one of them, but I know they're out there.

Nevertheless, it seems to me you've become the thing you claim to despise: insular and closed off to experiences that would contradict your dogmas.
The Looping Problem, Using Python Iterators
I think this is one of those things people will never agree on. I guess it boils down to which you value more- the time the phone is in your pocket or the time it is out of your pocket.

I personally prefer a larger screen because it just makes reading and browsing so much nicer and at this size, a relatively small increase makes a drastic difference. Though I know a lot of people who like the smaller screen. Every time I use a Galaxy Nexus and go back to an iPhone I feel like it is just not as nice of an experience.
> Why are we still focusing on hardware when it is clear that software is just as, if not more important than appearance and feature set?

It's because comparing hardware specifications is easy - it's quantifiable, it's numbers, and techies are familiar with them. How do you objectively compare the effect on that hardware on the software experience, and the quality of the software experience itself (qualitative)?

FWIW, ICS (Android 4.0) is a big step in the right direction compared to earlier versions, especially when it comes to making the most of the hardware underneath.
You're joking right? Eventricle? As a non-native English speaker I can tell you that this name is a big disaster.
When you look at a statistic like:

Penetration in Turkey: 85%

If market research is not the first thing that comes to your mind, then you should probably go see a shrink.
Does a pentile layout matter on a "retina display"? The pixels shouldn't be discernible at these resolutions. When the Galaxy Nexus came out there was a lot of confusion and argument about whether it was pentile or not. If you can't tell by looking at it it's kind of a moot point.
I've thought about writing my own recursive DNS resolver that followed that exact pattern (with caching according to TTL's off course).

So yes, you may only need to hit the root once to get the tld as it will be cached, but it is still a hit. I am not sure that downloading the root.zone.gz instead is necessarily required, especially with the amount of new tld's that they are planning on adding it would amount to a lot of wasted resources.

Also, for some domains (those in the UK are the ones that popped into my mind), you have sub-domains such as co.uk.

So that is another extra lookup... and depending on whether or not you want to use ANY or not in the lookup you find that if you query ns1.nic.uk for co.uk. (A) you get an SOA record back, but no NS results, so at that point instead of just being able to continue you'd have to retry with co.uk. (ANY). At that point you get back a truncated result, and need to retry over TCP...

Now you can continue on to ns1.nic.uk for co.uk. and ask it your question mydomain.co.uk. so and and so forth.

You've piqued my interest and I am thinking I may start keeping logs from my local recursive DNS resolver and start looking at what the cost is now versus what the cost would be if recursive DNS resolvers would go step by step themselves (keeping in mind TTL's and the like).
This Is Not Fancy Camerawork, Just Likely the World's Biggest Crustacean [Wtf]
Something to think about, possibly good or bad. If these rovers hadn't had such longevity, would have had other rovers on Mars in the meantime? If so, would they have been more capable? Or have these rovers represented such tremendously cost effective experiments that we're getting what we would have gotten with other rovers, but saved on launch and opportunity costs (awaiting transit to Mars, possible mission failures, etc.)?
Do you plan on exposing parameters that control the fitting process? E.g. loss function / tree depth / min samples per leaf? Or will the fitting process always be a black-box automagic call with no user-controllable knobs?

Is there any plan to provide some assessment of model accuracy via the API - e.g. K-fold cross validation with respect to some specified loss function?
I hate to be blunt but the first thing I thought was testicle. Not what you want the first impression to be.
See when you talk nonsense like that it just makes you sound like a bitter fanboy.

- The reason people cover Apple is because they release one phone per year at one big event. Which sells in vast quantities, often has unique features and most importantly generates lots of user clicks i.e. revenue. That is why it gets coverage.

- There were other differences between iPhone 4S and 4 e.g. single->dual CPU, single->dual HSPDA, GSM+CDMA in one phone, much better GPU, single to dual antenna, Siri as well as the camera.

- There isn't anything particularly new in Samsung 3 that hasn't been seen elsewhere. Cordless charger was pioneered by Palm and auto-dimming has been on iPhone for ages. Again if there was some stand out feature it would probably get more attention.

Overall if Samsung wants to be like Apple then they need to stop releasing a million phones and release one per year at one big event. And then support it.
This kind of technology in the real estate market is inevitable.

We would absolutely love this tech on our rentals site (http://www.openrent.co.uk) that just launched. Just need it to be made widely available, and matured slightly. For the time being, we're going to encourage microsoft photosynth's on the site, which is a decent alternative.

It's important that 3D models can be created quickly, and the end product is visually appealing. Right now, Photosynth fills that void extremely well, but I look forward to seeing how this develops.
'Designed for Humans'
Oh they did. I was a developer/architect, did more developing than any of the developers and more architecting than any of the architects.

However, not all the "architects" (mind you, none of us actually used that term/title) were developers. We had the head of the QA in charge of testing and real world deployments on the team, as well as the lead interface designer. Their feedback helped to find a solution that would be both feasible and user friendly.

That's why I said the developers would work on the prototypes.
Why do consumers care that their phone has quad core gpus or whatever when Apple tells them a simple story about how the device is supposed to fit into and improve their lives? Technology is just a means to an end.
The odds are low, sure, but the odds are essentially zero if you take any other route. Granted, a lot can change with time.

It's not really a different strategy though. There is only one Galaxy every year, and I don't see anything that an iPhone can do that this phone can't.

Some people love the iPhone and that is fine- to each his own. I just refuse to believe that the love affair is based on anything other than marketing.

> (Hey, and there was lots of coverage. I saw it everywhere, no matter the medium. From The Verge to a German weekly news magazine. That’s not so much less than what the iPhone gets, in fact it might even be about equal. Is that your persecution complex flaring up?)

Really? You did? Hmm, if my memory serves me, I remember seeing CNBC and CNN covering the last iPhone launch all day like it was the Presidential inauguration. Worldwide television vs. niche tech blogs. Yep, you're right, that is about the same. I retract my statement.

I'm just asking you to respond to my concerns about your Platinum Rule. You haven't done that yet. Where in your example you say that the Golden Rule fails, I don't think it does if you understand the heart of why we're saying the Platinum drives from the Golden. I think you're oversimplifying these rules, and that they have more overlap than you're implying. It's why I see the derivation to be so easy to digest.

Email me if you'd like to continue the conversation. I do find it interesting and also important. My mind is full of this topic having finally gotten around to reading Speaker of the Dead. I love Ender.

And I'm sorry if you thought I was rude.

Subtree > Submodule in so many ways. Git submodule is a mess and now a legacy of git.

I've been been using subtree in a fork of Git personally but can't (safely) use it at work with everyone else (still use submodules there).

This is going to be a problem for github for reasons I put in my blog a few months back: http://zbowling.github.com/blog/2011/11/25/github/

Because Github has their explicit, top down, a-fork-is-only-a-fork-by-clicking-the-fork-button kind of graph between projects, using subtree won't work easily with their online tools to do pull-requests and see the network graph of forks.

Basically my repo is going to have the histories of 7 different projects combined in one repo and from that single repo I will be pushing back changes to all 7 (and others versions of those 7). Github's pull request feature is going to have trouble with that concept because they make the invalid assumption of a single upstream.

There are work arounds for sure like pushing your changes to a staging repo before finally doing a pull-request upstream but that is cumbersome. I'll probably write a shell script to automate it.
