Ads are a monetization platform and you as an individual are not relevant, until most people start using AdBlock.

I do agree that the argument is very similar to piracy arguments told by MPAA/RIAA. When such a thing happens, the smartest thing for businesses is to adapt.

However, for the moment I like the Internet services and websites that I'm using, while I don't like the content or the prices or the restrictions promoted by the media industry. Which is why I'm being a good citizen and so I'm not installing AdBlock.

But this issue cuts both ways. AdBlock when used by a minority, is actually beneficial to websites. Because otherwise that minority would get really annoyed with a lot of them and losing those consumers is worse than not having conversions from them.

So that's another reason why I'm not using AdBlock, because websites that annoy me to the point that I can't take it anymore do not deserve my eyeballs, while those where the ads are promoted with taste do deserve my attention.

I don't see your logic. A court would review it if one of the sides brought it to court. It doesn't suggest that the issue is 'ambiguous', or that the company has a leg to stand on once they're actually in court.
... and chew valerian root :) Fight Club is full of useful information, by the way (the book, too).
COM can be used by any language and allows software components, object based, to be "easily" shared among languages.

How does it work in Mac OS X?
Many things end up in court that are not ambiguous, which is why summary judgement[1] exists.

Although it is usually impossible to predict the outcome of a vaguely-defined case (I hit and killed you with my car, am I liable?), a case where all relevant facts are known (I hit and killed you with my car while you were legally crossing at a crosswalk, my light was red, and I was speeding) is utterly unambiguous, but will still end up in court if one side refuses to settle, no matter why they refuse.

There've also been desktop apps from Instagram access for over a year now like Carousel (http://carousel.mobelux.com), InstaView (http://www.roguesheep.com/instaview), or InstaDesk (http://www.instadesk-app.com).

I'm the author of InstaDesk, and I've to say that there's always been a solid interest in desktop Instagram access (based on sales), and that it has only gone up since Facebook bought it.
Why Use Outsourced Telemarketing in Market Research?

I really like the look of jekyll bootstrap. I think I'll be looking into it. Your blog looks great!
The analogy is ...

The grocery store will not sell half a loaf because they cannot figure out how to keep them fresh enough to sell them. They don't try hard to sell half a loaf and they basically tell the public to accept whole loaves as a fait accompli.

A the growing demand for half loaves meets a innovative group of people who found a way to deliver fresh half loaves to people. They sell them on the city streets -- without a license -- near the grocery store. Customers are happy again.

The grocery store finds out they have been losing revenues to the street dealers and the engineering efforts they developed for delivery are based on knowledge in the public domain. Instead of using this knowledge to serve their customers the fresh half loaves they want, they try to stop the street dealers from selling because they operate without a business license.
I’m fairly sure it was sarcasm :)
I'll play devils advocate here. I think this is a good idea. 99% of my feed is basically just cat pictures. There could be great stuff being created by my friends and not showing on my feed because it is pushed down by all the shared crap. Nobody is going to pay for me to see their cat picture, but they will pay for me to see the new project they are working on, or an event they are throwing that I may want to attend, and this is value added for me.
That's a very cool project. I'm definitely going to look at it and I'll make sure to give you some feedback if I end up going with it.

No, but it might exist only to 301 to chase.secure. Still preferable to type it directly but potentially better than nothing.

If this scheme is going to founder it's because nobody pays attention to the URL despite the best efforts of browsers, not because any of the rest of the scheme is bad.
There was JavaScript (including the good parts) before Douglas Crockford started disseminating his ideas about the language and long before jQuery was released. So it was like a powerful and possibly quite elegant language all along, but it needed to be 'discovered' and 'evangelized'.

With respect to JavaScript, it's like front-end developers are all enlightened today, after living in the dark ages for about 10 years.
And this is very off topic, but I've noticed something on your landing page that I really envy -- the background pattern. The gray, hatched background at the bottom of the page is awesome.

I just want to add that the other HN story title was completely incorrect linkbait as well: "HBO CEO: '...an internet-based model [for TV] is just a fad'".

It wasn't HBO's CEO, and he didn't use the word "fad." That word was from the Forbes writer. Also, it wasn't a direct quote.
How are these sensors different from these ones on this site: http://www.monnit.com/products/ I think is the same amount of money and I can get them faster.
I love tech as much as the next person but I think the Internet of Things is just going too far. I've read tech news on a daily basis for years and years and I find it all really interesting, to a point, and that point is coming.

I don't like GPS, ebooks, smartphones or even video games, though I love a good Apple laptop and I love keeping up with the news. The fact that I even stopped learning my friend's phone numbers by heart was the tipping point. A seemingly small change, sure, but it reflects a wider tendency. We are slowly replacing our memory with computer memory. There have been articles, books and many comments on this effect but I get the feeling that 'new and shiny' is too attractive to most and I worry about there being no choice in the near future. I hope the losing side, in the end, is not the same side that, from the start, yearned for everything to be 'smart'.

Same goes for Europe and its member states I guess.

Tictail: an easy, pretty and social way to sell stuff
> What you don't want to do is to pursue a distribution channel over here [ed: the internet], where you think, well, let's go around the affiliate and we'll get a couple hundred thousand subs. But the promotional, and packaging support we get over here [ed: the affiliate networks], which, by the way, is the foundation of our 30 million subs

I'll believe they've done the market research to believe that "couple hundred thousand" number, but I have a harder time seeing that offering their own, independently subscribable[1] distribution channel will affect their core business model much more than piracy already is. From my perspective, they're just leaving money on the table for no clear gain.

[1]bear in mind that it's only whether or not you can subscribe to HBOgo independently of owning a tv and basic cable subscription that should be the issue, since they clearly believe offering streaming is good for both them and their customers.

Their strategy is smart and reasonable if people perceived HBO as delivering great shows that are worth paying extra useless channels to get, which I don't think it is (but I'm french and not very exposed to their marketing ).

I fear that HBO is living in the Bubble of their Brand like so many companies, thinking they are the best thing ever and that customers should be grateful whatever way they accept to provide stuff. There is a trend toward simpler deals now where you pay for what you want, not for 3, 4 goodies you never asked.
But the value of the education isn't just the job you get at the end. These are Ruby job's we're talking about. That's really not that incredible considering quite a large number of people in our fields don't have degrees. The value of a CS degree will pay off far from the first job you get.

if you read the email, they did not admit they were wrong. they held that in the light of their policy they were correct not to pay him, and their only mistake was in not making that policy clearer, and therefore they'd pay out this once.
C++ is very much a mixed bag but the new features in the C++11 standard do help a lot. The "auto" keyword and range-based for loops alone have decluttered my code quite a bit.

The new smart pointers make me nervous after the auto_ptr fiasco but they seem to be working fine in my code so far.

I'm looking forward to trying out the lambdas as soon as they hit in XCode.

The public insurance companies basically all offer the same coverage (defined by laws) for the same price. They used to differ slightly in price but the government made that illegal. Now they try to differentiate on little things, like paying for Yoga classes.
Dentistry can get expensive, as only amalgam fillings are covered by insurance. If you want other fillings (without quicksilver) you have to pay extra.

as

Not that this changes the fact that they should have paid.

You say this like it's a bug, but it's a feature. Your servers don't get hardened by being ignored, they get hardened by being under continuous assault. The ignored servers are the ones the hackers waltz into with an exploit patched by the vendor six years ago.
This. When it comes to fishing, there is one rule: don't change your TLD. When I log in to PayPal I am always getting redirected from paypal.com to paypal-deutschland.de (the german tld), how is someone who is not internet savvy supposed to know whether he is getting phished or not, when even the companies use different TLDs?

Be consistent - using citibank.com and citibank.secure does not help at all, it will only confuse customers even more.

As a foreigner I'm aware of the neighbor/neighbour distinction, but I would definitely consider 'enrol' an error.
I just can't imagine how he could. I can understand him saying this because it makes a lot of business sense considering the company's position, but someone so involved in content delivery cannot possibly believe internet delivery is just a fad. They invested in HBO Go ahead of many of their rivals, so it seems like they actually understand the future, they are just afraid to talk about it now because the rest of the world isn't ready.
Is there a resource somewhere listing which compilers support which features of C++11? Or do all major compilers already support the new standard?

Portability is probably the main reason I'm concerned about switching my codebase to the new standard...

Not everyone is looking to become a computer scientist. Some people just want to make things. Musicians don't need to know every little detail about how their instruments are made. Painters don't need to know the process by which canvas is produced. Why should beginner programmers need to know everything that underlies their craft?
Any good IDE and references?
Brilliant! So many examples of innovative, clean and user friendly interaction design the last days. First swiftype.com, dragondrop (https://shinyplasticbag.com/dragondrop/) and now pinstagram.co.
Pretty much everything in C++11 sounds extremely cool and useful. It seems like the committee did their homework; from what I can see all of the new features are well-designed and thought through. Lots of things that were verbose or inefficient before are fixed, and as a result the language will be more expressive.

But I just have this nagging worry that C++ is going to collapse under its own weight. C++ was already the most complicated language in common use IMO (except possibly Perl); with C++11 there are more keywords, more constructs, more variations. I just hope this doesn't make C++ seem totally unapproachable to beginners, or too hard to keep up with for people who are already using it.
This made me think. I wonder if there is potential for a startup that rents office space to startup teams in a tropical area near the beach or with a really nice view. Judging from this thread (which is a small sample but still something), there is a lot of demand.
I will just point out that in the present climate the bonus is NOT exorbitant where Miso is based, especially post-funding or after a few employees.

Exorbitant would be: equity; $50k; paid on when the referral joins (instead after 6 months); paid if the referral is brought in for an interview, regardless of hire. (would be VERY VERY exorbitant). This is just standard.
C++11 support in common compilers:
http://wiki.apache.org/stdcxx/C++0xCompilerSupport
All the major compilers support at least some of the standard now, but I'm not aware of any that support all of it.

This article has only reiterated my belief that any deals that you make with your employer/client should be in writing so that they will not try to weasel their way out of an agreement.

It got me thinking that for every developer who manages to get frontpage on HN about their employer's dishonesty, there are probably more out there who had been screwed the same way.

Rovio's Angry Birds Successor: Casey's Contraptions

3 questions before moving to C++11

- which architectures is the author discussing when he talks about performance gains, what are the ISA requirements and numbers?

- what compilers are supporting it?

- why is it good to have "magic" happening in the background? E.g. reason 4 is not something I'd promote.
"I'm not sure how people can vote with their wallets when Adobe pull shit like this"

please name another suite of software that can compete with adobe's creative suite.

They have a defacto monopoly on professional publishing software. This is why.

I am so tired of this "open and free makes everything perfect by magic" thinking.
C++ isn't going away but its domain continues to contract. The C++11 standard will slow the erosion but I'm very doubtful that we'll see the "C++ renaissance" that people like Herb Sutter are predicting.

Even now on low-powered devices like phones you can often get away with more wasteful languages like Java or even Javascript. And server-side there are a bunch of much higher-level languages that are close enough in performance and usually with a far richer ecosystem to boot.
That's a very US centric view.
I think that HBO is the best part of my TV subscription. They offer unlimited viewing of their content for flat rate (10EUR/month). Included is also web streaming (HBO GO), so that I can (and do) watch the movies on various computers in the house.

Compare this to various 'online movie rentals', where I'd have to pay 2EUR/movie.
#4 isn't really magic. It's just a way to let the compiler fill in the blanks with information it already knows. The benefits are debatable for simple, obvious types but for the hairier generic types you often encounter in C++ it's a godsend.

Of course, the fact that this is so useful might make you wonder if C++'s type system is too complex in the first place.

It's absolutely not "magic", it's clearly-defined, easily-understood syntactic sugar that makes code smaller, simpler, and cleaner.

There is never a case where you have to wonder what the type of an "auto" variable is, it is always the return type of whatever function or method you are invoking. If you don't already know what that return type is, you won't be able to use the result anyway.
But didn't programmers do it because they didn't trust "the suits"?

Is it really ironic that they STILL don't trust them?

Hackruiter especializes in startups:

I also know of a recruiting agency in Japan that specializes in startups. Some companies have the too-many-resumes problem, but many startups have the converse problem. If nobody knows about you then you'll have a hard time finding qualified people.
>He states how he understood exceptions:
"C++ exceptions just didn't fill the bill. They are great for guaranteeing that program doesn't fail — just wrap the main function in try/catch block and you can handle all the errors in a single place."
This is something i learned in my very first computer science lecture not to do.

Yes, and he learned not to do it also, thank you.

He makes a tongue in cheek comment about a common Exceptions abuse. Actually, in the very next sentence after than one, he explains why that is bad.

Do people on Hacker News believe that the guy doesn't know C++? He is the frigging author of one of the most useful, used, high quality C++ libs.
>If you get hit with debris of any reasonable size, you're fucked one way or the other.

I wonder if this will be included in the brochures.
The design idea of "don't pay for what you don't use" seems to cause the language features/library to be wide and orthogonal instead of deep; the weight is more or less spread out. Beginners can learn in increments, which is the approach I took for C++11 - first I used new template features, then rvalue references, then threading, and so on.
Seriously, for all of us out there bootstrapping startups or working for companies struggling to raise funding, this all comes across as petty. $10k is a lot of money.

I'm glad Josh is donating the money to charity, but the onus was on him to claim the bonus while he was employed.
We haven't tried clustering yet, but I'm keen to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but by using clustering you might end up with colors that didn't actually occur in the original design right?

In our case we wanted to make sure we found colors that the designer actually chose. I'll have to try this..
