> Nutella was sued and was fined $3.6M just because people couldn't read the clear nutritional sign

Did you even read the article? It clearly says that Nutella was sued because it had misleading advertising, saying/implying that it was healthy, when in reality it contains a lot of sugar.

I know that Coca-Cola is bad for your health (it's pretty obvious that any sweet drink is bad for your teeth and makes you fat and probably not any less thirsty). But I would still want the company fined if it advertised Coca-Cola drink as being healthy.
If a category has no entries the button should be disabled, why let users make preventable errors?
You seem to be pairing non-free with corporations/research entities and free with "random" hackers. That does not have to be the case. What is preventing those research groups from releasing the source code for their devices (and preferably the hardware itself) under a free license? Why does the free version have to be created from supposed random hackers who may or may not have the resources to complete the project competently?

There exist many free software projects that have been created by larger entities, even if the project was at first proprietary. At the very least, many corporations/research groups have contributed to existing free software projects --- the kernel Linux is one such example. OpenStack was released by RackSpace. Google created Chromium, Android and ChromeOS. Etc.

This also demonstrates the problem of approaching this from the perspective of "open source". When considering this an ethical choice --- a choice of freedom --- it's not about creating a "better" piece of software. It's about creating software that respects our freedoms and, most importantly, understanding what the software that we have just put inside of our body is doing. Even if we do not have the resources to hack it, we can at least study it (Freedom #1). If we find a flaw and are unable to fix it, we can hire somebody who knows how to. We can then distribute those changes to our friends and neighbors who may have the same problems (Freedom #3).

This is the perspective RMS is adopting. Not "open source".

> Young people and parents need to seriously consider forgoing college entirely, that will be the only thing that will force the price down.

That's definitely a problem I've seen with my peers. They go just because their parents expect it of them. I can't find the article (it was on HN maybe 6 months ago) that compared college majors in the mid 80's to 2011. While useful stuff like CS stayed relatively flat, the majors that skyrocketed were things like Liberal Arts. Those are the people making college expensive for all of us.

One real way to bring prices down would be to attend community college for 1-2 years. It's extremely cost effective, easily transferable, and designed for working adults so the schedules are often more flexible than traditional college.
> But it was only 40 years ago, in 1969, that scientists first confirmed that water existed anywhere besides Earth.

Could anyone tell me more about this? Couldn't find anything relevant from a quick Google search.

Coming from Android what I'm really missing — and was hoping to get out of the numerous geo related Apple acquisitions — is a proper competitor to Google's in-house navigation software.
The GPS software integrated with iOS is an atrocity compared to what you get with Gingerbread(?) and higher.

Seeing that smartphones are increasingly replacing standalone consumer GPS solutions, I think its fair to say that Apple dropped the ball on this one. Maybe I'm jaded but who cares about 3D pictures when what I really want is a solution to get from A to B?

Inclusive Tech Companies Win the Talent War
At Station 1, we prepare a batch of particles that are correlated in a quantum way. Now we have to get some of the particles to Station 2 without destroying their correlations. Someone can intercept the particles on their way to Station 2, but once Station 1 knows the particles are at Station 2, the system is secure.

The operator at Station 1 performs a measurement on a particle there that changes the spin of that particle, as well as a measurement on a desired quantum bit that we want to transmit to Station 2. This process produces 2 classical bits of information. This process destroys the correlation between the particle pair, and affects the particle at Station 2 but in a randomized way that is useless without the operator at Station 2 possessing the two classical bits (thus it is not faster-than-light communication).

Once the laser takes the two classical bits to Station 2, at the speed of light, the operator at Station 2 can use them to decide what measurement to perform on the paired particle. Once the correct measurement is performed, the quantum bit that we measured at Station 1 appears.

The security benefit is that by completing one risky journey from Station 1 to Station 2, we can allow many future quick, secure journeys.

The propagation happens at the speed of light because the classical bits are required to understand what has been teleported. Performing the measurements is much slower than the speed of light. The correlation can only be stored for very short periods of time, currently.
The scale of this is incredibly sobering.
Well, colour me impressed.

Interesting side note: demos tend to use music with pentatonic (ambient) or whole-tone (dreamy) scales. They’re easy to harmonise, which makes it easy to procedurally generate decent-sounding music.
Crap, accidentally downvoted. In too strong agreement to not apologize for the downvote and thank you for saying that.
The last time I hired I asked two puzzle-type questions during the interviews: a math (statistics) puzzle and a programming puzzle.

The math puzzle had a definite correct answer that can be arrived at by anyone remotely qualified for the position, but which causes even statistics undergrads to scratch their heads for a minute. The real purpose of this is to see if someone is able, willing, and perhaps even eager to actually think.

The programming test does not have a single correct answer. As far as I know there's always a trade-off depending on the importance of competing priorities. I tried to lead them into discussing the design differences to handle the different scenarios. It's very interesting to observe the thought process. Some people think of one fairly workable design and then they are done. Period. Other people realize that a good design in one scenario is suboptimal in another and try a new design. Some go farther and look for an 80% solution to both.

You can call this screening to some degree. It's also about discovery, to be part of the larger picture of how this prospect would work with our team.

My opinion is that rent seeking has probably been fairly constant (relative to the size of the economy). I think the bigger issue at play is the effect of the baby boomers. As they reached their peak earning potential in the late 90's and early 00's, their spending power had an impact on the broader economy, raising demand and prices across a wide range of services and goods. While the recession has had an impact, I don't think it is a coincidence that as the Baby Boomers retire, the economy feels like it is entering a long period of stagnation.
This has to be one of the most exploited (mis?)conceptions of the 21st century. Doctors, employers, websites, software plugins, account agreements, almost everything with which one interacts in the normal course of a modern life has a massive privacy statement that, using the unnatural jargon of the law as a gate, makes unreasonable statements which destroy the rights of the consumer and create rights for the provider. I recall a recent trip to the eye doctor where the standard document made the statement that I pre-consent to any and all treatment that the doctor orders and pre-agree to be financially responsible for all such treatments in case my insurance does not pay. My guess is that most of us have inadvertently pre-consented our finances and other aspects of our lives to various companies via these statements buried within the haystack of legalese that must be "signed" in order to operate a 21st century life.

really what sort of bus? Routemaster ,Bendy Bus, one of those new Boris busses, a US school Bus. Also how does one easily estimate the free space inside a bus. How many pasendgers are there with or with out a driver or conducter can I remove the seats and other furnature inside.

Of course one can trivialy estimate the number if one assumes that bus is a cuboid and that a golfball is an incompressble sphere - I would would probly have to look up the theorems on Google as its a long time since I used this sort of thing in anger - though bak in the day I did correct a bridge design for the 4th largest consulting engineers when the Engineer had use 2d rather than 3d :-)
How Apple is breaking free of Google's Maps (and maybe Google, entirely)
When we closed our house we not only read through the entire stack of mortgage papers, we had a several hour session where the escrow representative went line by line and explained everything to us. It is always good to understand what you are signing, especially a 30 year mortgage contract. However many of the statements we signed very worded in a way that a lawyer can interpret it in any way so the liability falls on us!
Can Apple do it in their own app? That’s the relevant question. Third party apps are irrelevant.

Google doesn’t allow third party developers (and that includes Apple, obviously) to offer turn-by-turn navigation. Here are the terms (10.2 c): https://developers.google.com/maps/terms

Letting Google build the maps app is obviously out of the question. That’s a pretty ridiculous idea. Would Google let Apple build a critical piece of Android? Obviously not.

(Also, where has Google made that clear? That’s a serious question. I’m not aware of any such statements from Google, so it would be awesome if you could point me in their direction.)

The rise of JavaScript
When we were looking to buy a house, Street View allowed us to see what the neighboring area looked like; listings rarely include details like "surrounded by three auto-repair shops" or "half of the houses on the block look abandoned".
Here is my question...

If you rent an apartment, even though you don't own the building, you have "rights of tenant in possession". Basically the apartment is "yours" and you have rights. If a search warrant is to be served to search your place, it gets served on YOU, not the owner of the buildng.

If you rent server space, like a rack in a datacenter, that space is "yours". So should the search warrant have been honored?

It would be awesome to have the web run using this. When you connect to a service they issue you a photon that you then use for transmission of data, relieving the pipes of the burden. I Wonder what the bandwidth is on one of these connections.

"If any government really wants to promote sustainable home ownership for all their citizens, they'd make homes a financial deadweight for people that aren't fully utilizing the home themselves."

This! In Portugal it is common for rich people to buy apartments near universities just to rent to students. The thing is, people who are rich enough buy several at once and get nice discounts on them (investor discounts they call them) and they will use the houses to make money with the rents. If you are just a regular person looking for a place to live you might negotiate a bit on the price but you always start at full price, not discounted.

I wouldn't go to the extreme of making every home you possess, except the one you live in, a financial deadweight but make it increase steeply after maybe 2 or 3 places.
That's true. But either way, they didn't get permission to use the data for marketing. And that's what that slip is really about.
Somehow I wouldn’t expect teleportation to be faster than light, even if the information doesn’t actually travel through the intervening space.
Raw pointers, manual memory management, and "what you see is roughly what's executed in assembly" is very helpful for a wide variety of performance sensitive tasks, there is a whole world out there beyond CRUD apps. There are many trivial optimizations you can't do without writing native code. Writing any performance sensitive code in a high level language is like playing the telephone game.

What's funny is that high-level languages develop a culture of not caring about performance, which makes what could be a mild problem, much much worse.

Java is actually a pretty fast language(for most purposes), you wouldn't know it from 9 out of 10 desktop java applications I've used.

I can see what you are saying, that is definitely something that would work.

This library also handling some of the other interaction as well, for instance conditional requests (i.e. only GET the resource if it's changed since a certain date or if the ETag is different) as well as populating some header values on behalf of the application (supplying last modified dates and ETag values). I think that this could also be done in middleware and that would allow a more modular approach (i.e. you only care about conditional requests you could just use that piece).

For myself, I really wanted one widget that'd make it easier to figure out what I needed to do to get my web service to behave in a predictable way; I really wanted the whole enchilada. :)
That dentist is an ass.

Whatever else a medical professional of that type's job is, it is public-facing. That has implications up and down their practice, but one of the most basic is that they are expected to treat patients with dignity and respect.

I grew up around the medical world, and someone who acted like her would not have a good reputation among her colleagues, and it wouldn't matter if she was a DDS, MD, APRN, RN, or what.
I don't think so. As others have stated, perusing dense legal documents while people are waiting for you just doesn't work. Even if we remove the time constraint, many people wouldn't be able to understand the legalese.

- Fully modular, wireless, THX sound that always works (even with Bluetooth headphones)

- Built-in Blu-Ray and program guide that don't suck

- Siri, of course

- Always-on AirPlay (regardless of input or power being off)

- TV programming packages and customer service provided by Apple

And most importantly:

- One remote, or an iPod touch, or an iPhone, or an iPad, and oh yes, the iPad can watch ESPN while your TV is tuned to Dancing With The Stars.

Idea #22 is a web version (realization) of Lotus Improv. He's old enough that he should know better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Improv

I've been waiting ages for this. Desktop, web-based, tablets, however.

Old timers may recall that Lotus Symphony had both database and spreadsheet features, like a multi-app. It was cool. At the time, Lotus Improv seemed like a healthy fusion, next logical step, minimum viable product.

Improv was victim of the Innovators Dilemma plus installed base inertia. I remain impressed that even with their market dominance, Lotus was experimenting, releasing crazy new products, and willing to eat their own children. (Though I can't forgive Lotus Notes, sorry.)

PG's original blurb (http://ycombinator.com/ideas.html):

"22. A web-based Excel/database hybrid. People often use Excel as a lightweight database. I suspect there's an opportunity to create the program such users wish existed, and that there are new things you could do if it were web-based. Like make it easier to get data into it, through forms or scraping.

Don't make it feel like a database. That frightens people. The question to ask is: how much can I let people do without defining structure? You want the database equivalent of a language that makes its easy to keep data in linked lists. (Which means you probably want to write it in one.)"
"They wanted to raise $10,000 to create a new kind of social network, one that lets people, not companies, own their personal data."

Are Google, Facebook, Twitter users really concerned about this? I know people make a noise about privacy and data protection - but would this make you change platform?
