Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid search results. Other forms of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) target paid listings.
So I just had a look at the update, and I count 30 Android devices and 26 iOS devices. Obviously there's plenty of doubled-up devices in the iOS cupboard, but it looks like a couple of the Android devices are doubled-up as well.

My own app is tested on 4 devices (three phones and a tablet) and 2 of those devices were given to me by friends. I'm certainly not a top tier developer, but looking at a single developer who tests on 400 devices and saying "this is what developing for Android is like" is simply factually incorrect. Especially when another top tier developer is only testing on 30 devices. And ESPECIALLY when the vast majority of "normal" Android developers test on a handful of devices only.

Maybe it's a competitive advantage to test on 400 devices. But it's not REQUIRED, and it's certainly not NORMAL.

I would ask politely for 11 months, as that is what you feel you are due given the work you did - anything more is unreasonable. Then take what you are offered on the second round, which may be less, but should be more than 3.5 months. They want the release, you want a bit more for your efforts - there's bound to be a settlement somewhere in the middle.

These shares might be worth a lot in a few years time, or (more likely) they might be worth nothing, they are therefore not necessarily worth sacrificing lots of your time and money over, unless you are convinced that they will soon be worth millions. Remember also that even if you get these options, the board could still dilute them to virtually nothing very easily. They could easily make them worthless by fiat (by expanding the shares pool and assigning you no more) if they want to in future.

What's important for you is to move on with your life feeling you have made the best of a bad situation, rather than wasting energy on a potentially fruitless lawsuit or public spat, neither of which will do your career or character any good. You don't want to end up in Jarndyce v Jarndyce for the next few years and waste some of your life, only to find at the end you have some worthless bits of paper and lasting bitterness.

Surely this is a quality assurance exercise of diminishing returns.

Why not test on the must common devices or top device in each main category?

Is fragmentation a real issue? First time I have heard about it. Is this like browser compatibility for web developers?
Any founder worth his/her salt would have ensured that the company has full legal insurance cover. I.E. it won't cost them money (other than a small excess) to get lawyers involved.

Given the fact that your signature is on the card, this seem rather ineffective. Approximate signatures are easy to forge and no merchant will deny a transaction based on a different signature.

In fact, that is not the purpose of your signature. The purpose is that you are signing a contract and agreeing to pay. It has nothing to do with security or fraud and merchants are not supposed to check signature matches - only that you signed.

A smiley face is a valid signature, as long as it is you and you agree to the credit card contract.
You were the head of marketing and you didn't know who your own customers were? ... Excuse me?

Apparently "Joseph" deleted his comment (very un-git-like of GitHub to make deleting a comment without a trace so easy). I checked all the other participants above where "Joseph" posted and found a Dan, but no Joseph.

You don't need to crack Tor for that. Get the list of Germans hanging out on Anonymous IRC. Choose only college students. Remove ones that don't have time to do this stuff due to actually working somewhere. Intersect with HBCI users in banks where there aren't many of those. Remove Mac users and Linux users (he mentions he only uses Windows). Remove families that use credit cards (he mentions his family does not). This would already probably end up in reasonably short list. Now amending this list with various other bits of info he left - such as which sites he frequents, which drinks he prefers, which software he uses, etc. I don't believe it should pose any major challenge for a law enforcement agency, even if part of the info is lies - they are used to legwork and assembling small pieces. But probably with his size nobody would bother unless he does something major (i.e. catching him generates a big press-release) or he just hands himself to law enforcement by doing something stupid like drinking too much and bragging about being elite haxor criminal to a female undercover officer. If he just does it for a year and then stops, he has good chances to get away with it, but not because of mighty Tor, but because the law enforcement would never notice him.
No it's not, quite a few teachers work everyday to 'improve themselves', sucks that you got the shitty lot of the teachers but the fact is at the end of the day what matters most is what you teach yourself.
Ask HN: Programming jobs for the mathematically inclined.
I just finished an undergraduate degree in mathematics. I can program well and have work experience in web development (...ugh) and scientific/numerical computing. I'm looking for some direction:

* What sort of jobs allow me to combine math and programming? Where are they located? (I'm in the US)

* Should I pursue a graduate degree before I try to enter industry? If so, is it okay to continue in pure mathematics, or should I move toward applied mathematics, statistics, or computer science instead?

This. In India and probably in many other countries, a lot of beggars operate under some gangs and most of their income goes to them. Especially true for beggars one sees at the traffic signals. So if you pay them, it is added incentive for the gangs to put more people out on the street.

My take on this is that everyone has a different way of being most effective in helping others. To really improve their situation, a homeless person needs someone who can invest a lot more time and effort. So if you want to help them, give to charities that work with them. In our individual capacity, we are more effective in helping someone who already has a platform. Consider financing the entire education of a child. That is more effective use of the money than distributing it piecemeal to several homeless people.
Essentially the author is trying to put the male readers in a women's shoes. In other words, take every sexist tech story that's popped up in tech news in the last few months and reverse the pronouns.

It's certainly an interesting read, but not particularly well executed. There is a book called Egalia's Daughters[1] that does a similar thing in a much more powerful, primal way. Seriously worth a read.

I disagree. As someone said above, talking to a lawyer does not mean filing a lawsuit. No professional business person is going to hold it against you for talking to a lawyer in a situation like this--that's what they're there for. And frankly you'd be a chump not to explore your options, but that's almost certainly what OP's founders are counting on.
> Consumers whose CC info is stolen aren't liable for fraudulent charges

That's only if the credit card company believes or accepts your story.

I once reserved a flight by telephone using a credit card, but at the airport I paid for the flight with cash. Later I found that my credit card was charged for the flight. The airline said that they couldn't find any evidence that I had paid in cash, and even though their policy was to get a signature when paying by credit card, they could not produce my signature. But they still insisted that I had paid by credit card.

I complained to the credit card issuer, but they took the airline's word (United Airlines, by the way) over mine.

It's not enough that charges are fraudulent -- if the merchant is mistaken in their belief (or lying), you are on the hook!
I've always made this decision based strictly on whether I am feeling generous enough in the moment to give money to a stranger who asked for it. I personally find bothering oneself about what they are going to do with it to be extremely condescending, and I sometimes suspect it might be a cop-out for simply wanting to hold on to your money. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to hold on to your own money.
The paper that is referenced in the article http://arxiv.org/pdf/1201.6656.pdf
Unless charge-back means something different to what I think it does, of course you can with a UK card. The terms and conditions may be different, but the usual fraud etc. is covered.
I like GMaps because it gets me from point A to B, where B is usually vaguely defined. So it solves an important problem for me, which is why I like it, in spite of shortcomings such as being a closed proprietary product.

I also do not think that the maps data in GMaps is created by "public, unpaid volunteers". This statement badly needs a reference.

I once tried submitting the details of a business in GMaps and the process was so awful that I gave up. But while I do agree that volunteers would better spend their time with OpenStreetMap or similar, it is really none of your business how people choose to spend their time.

They dont' see it all the time. You search, if you don't find it, you basically have a way to ask your friends instead. It's not that complicated. You're not sharing your search, you're just asking real people. Sometimes people know the answers to questions you're asking. Seems rather handy.
Similar story in India would be like "State paid $20k each for Internet routers worth $20"

Sure - avoiding counter-productive behaviour is a good goal. However it is difficult to avoid condescendingly 'knowing' what is best for a child if it aligns with selfish motives, and one knows nothing about the situation...

The question is how to help kids though... I have tried gifting useful stuff to local schools, once I helped teach English to a class. Leaving coins where children might find them seems good to me. Hiding small toys down low is fun too - and is suitable anywhere in the world!

I feel churlish if I do not share my 1st world worth when enjoying the hospitality of other countries... but it takes some ingenuity to come up with ways to do so that are good for all involved...
I can't even remember the last time I searched on bing and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Can you give an example of a query that yields "worse" results?
Hacker News, you continue to disappoint me. Every time I read an article, I know the comments are going to be filled with people arguing for the sake of feeling superior. And once again, they are.

No. This is not okay. No twisted sense of reason that only you have makes it okay. A $60 consumer router that needs to be upgraded every year is still cheaper than this. Even with support costs. People have been rolling out tiered infrastructure for years.
i live in a developing country. I am thinking what would happen here if a state offical had 24 million in his hands to spend on the infrastructure? The official may be corrupt and this thing may never go to proper bidding. So official and a company would share say 10 million as the profit. But 14 million would still go to something useful.

In this story, at least 20 million of the money seems to be completely wasted. (Higher capacity router does not mean better internet access for 4-computer lib.)

Wait, not finished. So our corrupt official has 2 million in his hands. He may buy a car or a house, but probably he would spend it for something useful. So much of the value would return to the market. This is also true for the vendor company. But in the US case, the value is gone. it is like you burned the cash.

Moral of the story: stupidity is more dangerous than corruption. You may want to have a corrupt offical than a stupid one.

Finally, that stupid would never have survived in the relatively corrupt but wild political system of my country.
Wtf, sure we need to be cognizant of discrimination against men in our society, and I think there are great arguments to be made that men are generally portrayed as dumb in TV shows, for example.

However we cannot equate men's and women's experiences of the world we live in. I want to, and have the mistake of doing so many times, but I've since seen how wrong I've been.

My female friend told me the following which radically transformed my perspective
Ask any group of women "What do you do to protect yourself in your daily life?"
Dome typical answers
- never walk alone at night
- hold car keys out while walking to car so you can open car door quickly
- do not make eye contact or smile to strangers at night
- do not go to bars or clubs alone
- carry money in bra in case bag is taken
- never put down your drink
- the list goes on and on

Women's life experiences are thus characterized by a constant and unending fear of sexual assault.

When you ask men the same question---to list what they do to protect themselves in their daily life...
--> the answer is just about nothing.

We men walk around like we own urban environments. We have very little to lose and we have a lot of fun with it all. However we have a major bias that we need to be aware of: women are raised to be in constant fear, a fear they don't share with us. This has tremendous implications throughout life. Also this is only one example of a difference in life experience between men and women. There are of course many more.

None really. A) Fraud liability effectively shifts to you, versus the often waived $50 limit, and B) it interjects an authorisation from your issuing bank into the checkout process oftentimes screwing it up.
At least under California law, his legal rights may extend beyond just "brush yourself off." It is incredibly shmucky for him to not find out what he is entitled to.
Ah, but as a developer, if we cannot speak the language, how do we communicate effectively? Let's say that I'm design an app - I'm looking through portfolios for a contractor to do some design work. If I have that vocabulary, I can more effectively judge what is good from what isn't good, and I can quantify things past, "this looks a bit weird."

I got to work with a good UX/UI crew at exactly one of my jobs, but it completely changed how I thought about thinking about design. That, combined with some reading, was my "design 101" education. I would argue that every full stack developer needs that "design 101" education, and we have new developers every day.

I'm going to take the class - It's an interesting stretching exercise for me.
His argument isn't under question here, his civility is. The original quote was a perfect example in that regard.
There's a reason they want you to sign a release. You need to convince them it's a better deal to have you sign the release and give you your 12 months of equity, than to have you walk away without signing that release. Given that they're early stage, and it would be pretty easy to fuck them over, it shouldn't be hard. Posting this under a throwaway was a good move.
HN-ers

I'm not a programmer or technical person, I'm an end user who uses R, LaTeX and processing now and again. I hack an awesome spreadsheet. I have a degree and I do a professional job.

I could be a manager in a public service or an elected representative. Perhaps in a small rural authority.

Given the lack of consensus in this discussion thread, and evidence in the article of a similar lack of consensus between the various offices involved, how am I supposed to reach a decision?

Is there a case for some kind of planning toolkit or requirements estimation software? Is there an opportunity here?

PS: I and other colleagues did once have to help a senior manager spend out a £250k capital grant in 10 days. The idiotic spending deadline was due to delay in award of funds in a competitive funding round. We did ok but could have done better with another month or two to think through detailed requirements.
Facebook Is Killing Text Messaging, Report Says
Wow. What a killer article. I think it went pretty far in depth, and I let myself take the time to imagine everything the author was describing, and I fuckin felt it man.

If this was written by a man, I applaud the effort you put into empathizing with women. If it was written by a woman, Thank you for thinking up so many creative and kick ass examples.

Our society has a long way to go before we reach equality. And I fucking PRAY it happens with greater reverence for sex in general, instead of applying to crude commercialized form of sexuality to both genders.

I've been noticing people using sexuality in a manipulative and threatening way at work a bunch lately, and it fucking sucks. If anyone out there has trouble socializing, and wants to know a good way to do it: Share your feelings with a girl in private, and start off small. Yeah it makes you vulnerable but that is an essential part of real love. DO NOT make sexual comments in front of other people.

May i ask what's a joke about VS Express? IMO they are very much capable. At least for windows forms and web-applications, never tried the c++ version. In fact it beats any other IDE i've tried anyway.

Only thing i really miss from pro is plugins, version control-integration and code contracts, the last being a thing that probably justifies a price tag anyway.

I don't think it does. In the example put forth in the article, the library had only four computers! In the case of just this one library, they could have had: ipads, kindles, more computers, more books and other media.

I think it's kind of a no-brainer that this is a prime example of incompetence in government.

I hate how often the EFF comes off as looking like a bunch of conspiracy theorists. "chat recording that captures text communications, game recording and player rankings that reveal how often and how long players have been playing" Um, yes, this was a highly desired feature.

> they speak as if there is some entity or organization

There is. It's a group calling itself "Anonymous", not just an anonymous group, though they are that as well.

"Organization" might be a bit too strong of a word to describe them though. Anyone can become Anonymous for however long they like and for whatever purpose they like. When you hear about two different attacks by Anonymous, it's entirely possible no one person was involved in both. It's actually harder to describe than I thought.
There is now Chip and pin fraud. With chip and pin the liability is now on the consumer to prove it wasn't their transaction. Customers have had to take the banks to court in the UK to get fraud losses removed. In these cases it has been proven that Chip and pin is infallible. Same applies online with 3-D secure.
This doesn't sound right. Shady sites that do nothing but provide ads for illegal downloads (e.g. megaupload) make tons of freakin' money and its not even legit. The problem seems like they half ass this stuff.

I mean if they're going to charge me $5 to watch a mediocre movie i'm going to pay them precisely $0 a week. If they charge me $1 to watch a movie I will probably watch 5 movies a week which gets them 5 of my bucks. They just need to go all in and stop messing around.
GrooveShark must be the most legally attacked business ever. I'm surprised they haven't gone down. I still pay the monthly $3 plan, just to do my part keeping them afloat, even though I rarely use it these days.
gahhhhhhhhh... I hate autocorrect. It results in typos that make you look like a non-native writer in the language and produces more interference in the mind of the reader, not less, because it's easier to read over a simple typo than incorrect diction.

"A top developer creator an overkill solution..." would have read better had whatever typo that had lead to "creator" instead of "creating" had remained in my original text.

At least red underlines instead of autocorrect highlights the error and prompts you to go back and choose the correct word (<-- perfect example... while writing this previous sentence, "word" originally had a typo and was changed to "work")
NY State Pensions Are Funding Startups: Limited Partners VCs Rarely Discuss
For the most part, I only give money to homeless people who put out a cup or a hat and don't try to sell me on a story. I've been lied to so many times that I assume every story is a lie. I don't try to buy specific items like food or train tickets, either. I don't want to dictate what they ought to spend the money on. If they want to spend it on food or clothes, great. If they would prefer to spend it on drugs or lotto tickets, I'm not going to reverse a lifetime of bad habits by forcing them to get a sandwich. The money is theirs once I give it to them.
> So if you pay them, it is added incentive for the gangs to put more people out on the street.

I sometimes think that is just a handy excuse.

I actually enjoy seeing tourists get taken advantage of, and actively encourage it with my own behaviour.

I often admire go-getting capitalist tourist scams or annoying vendors - at times even illegal or immoral behaviour (people take risks because they need to, not usually out of choice).

Love the rest of your comment... exactly my point that we can all find ways to truely help (while avoiding ways that damage).
