The article I linked says the following:

"The study, which was conducted between November 2010 and November 2011, found that globally, 56% of Opera users and 43% of those who use another browser only access the Internet via their mobile devices. In some countries, including Egypt (72%), Bangladesh (69%), Brazil (65%) and South Africa (61%), these numbers for Opera users are significantly higher."

> Granted, I'm in the US, which is probably very different from the demographics in Opera Mini's user base.

I can only speculate to why they prefer using a mobile, but I think that the infrastructure is so different from our countries that we shouldn't necessarily base our assumptions on what we would have done.
There's plenty of technical people active on Twitter, but they don't tweet to start a conversation, because Twiiter was never actually menat for that. It's a one-to-many broadcast channel, there are producers and there are consumers. G+ on the other hand is more of an equal playing field, it's being positioned as an interaction platform, so it's better fit for discussions and what not.

Red Hat distro was created in 1994, but in 2003 (~10 years ago) they created RHEL, merged vanilla Red Hat with Fedora, and shifted corporate strategy to RHEL.

Strange, the criticisms I usually hear of Starbucks coffee is that their roasts are too dark, giving incredibly (sometimes almost seemingly unnatural) bold flavors without a lot of depth. I don't know a single person who'd characterize even their lighter blends as "coffee flavoured milk."

That being said, you're probably well outside the target market for having your coffee delivered to you. If you had time to make it yourself, you certainly had time to grab a cup on the way to work.
MVC Vs MVP 
While surfing for the differences between MVC (Model View Controller) and MVP (Model View Presenter) I found lots of confusion over the net. Also I found some differences between the two on some sites, but none of them have complete list of differences. Following is one attempt for compiling almost all the differences between the two patterns.

That's quite an old ranking and it's hard to compare against any other ranking, but I can't imagine Ireland still being at the top of the list.

I do think the "IT-community" (and most people) are awesome. While somewhat underappreciated it's lot more enthusiast/hacker than academic/corporate, compared to other countries. People also generally don't care about hierarchies and titles in the workplaces. I mean getting to work is often more "troublesome" than getting things done at work. YMMV of course.
Ask HN: What should I aim for in my life?
I am 19 years old and currently doing an apprenticeship at a mid sized web design company in the UK. I recognize that as a self taught programmer (I started at 16) my chances of ending up at a major company are very slim, but it's human to dream.

What I was wondering is, do the largest companies, google, apple, microsoft, etc. take people based on past work and merit, or is having attended university always a requirement? I should elaborate that as well as the web design, my company has a once per week any language hackathon where we race to create a minimum viable product or solve a difficult issue, so my experience with programming is outside of "just" web design and I study 3 nights per week in my spare time when not working on my personal projects, with both coursera and MiTx.

"mod_depeche" is a pun on "mod", not "depeche". Clever, and would make a fun name for something (just not this).
In the words of Pauli, you aren't even wrong. If you work hard, you could get to the point of being wrong. But first you'd have to understand enough about health care economics to know what the actual problems are, and enough about health care consumption and delivery to frame a reasonable proposal.

Nobody's going to take the time to educate you on all that just to drag you up to the level so that you can understand why your proposal, once you got around to making it, would be wrong. That's your job.

This report is base on the demographics of 2006-07 enlistees. Go back to the late 1960s (Vietnam era) when you have a draft, and people of means taking college deferments, and I wonder how the numbers would look.
That's exactly why I use the paid version of Gmail (as a part of Google Apps) with my own domain name.
Yup. I learned that the hard way. The best I was able to achieve was putting power cord chokes along the entire length of the interconnects (RCA <-> RCA).

The ideal solution would be balance power amp and balanced pre-amp with XLRs carrying the audio signal. Unfortunately this would have required completely new amps.
I disagree. You would have an MVP. Something tangible to sell. Vapor-ware is software/hardware that is sold before it is built.

The purpose of the MVP is to get something good enough out of the door so you can focus on testing. Testing sales, marketing, user experience, etc. Once the initial testing is done, and the product has proven itself to be profitable if not then iterate/pivot), then you go and refactor the software if, and only if, the costs of doing so are worthwile.

I know of products out there that are complete and total bowls of spaghetti that make a lot of money and would be re-written by most of us. But they are profitable, and that is the ultimate test for a product. Does it sell?
I think this app would be most effective in suburbs and not city centers. There are coffee shops everywhere (especially in NY) - it would actually waste time to wait for coffee then it would to walk down the block.
Sorry, CloudPull has no ability to restore directly to Google. My emphasis has been restoring to local apps. In all cases, there are ways of importing back into Google, but none that the app does on its own.

The ability to restore directly to Google is on my roadmap for future versions.
Yeah, demand delivery pricing is a good idea as well. I did coffee for a couple reasons: one, because I love coffee. 2: Because aside from laundry, it's the most universal.
Congratulations to Red Hat for producing a Linux distribution that I have used for most of those 10 years. Stable for many years at a time with binary compatibility, it has always been a given that if a commercial piece of software supported Linux it will run on RHEL.

Why not PHP?
Very much agree.

I'd also prefer not to encourage referring to people as "a Bayesian" or "a frequentist", as though it's a hard philosophical preference, a binary choice one has to make.

I realise there are historical reasons for this, but really guys, they're both tools. Know the pros and cons and pick the right one for the job; neither is uniformly better.

Which framework you use can be a fairly subtle decision sometimes, requiring you to think fairly deeply about what you really want to get out of the analysis, what assumptions you're comfortable making, what kind of interpretation it would be most useful to be able to place on the results. But it's not just an arbitrary choice that you can leave to aesthetic or philosophical preference.
I'm sorry. The presentation was built with Scott Chacon's showoff library (https://github.com/schacon/showoff), which I assumed would handle cross browser issues well. I don't have an iPhone or a Mac, so I couldn't test it there.
That's exactly what someone must have said when people were using tables for site structure and someone like OP tried to correct them.

Regarding the 5% number, it might be closer to 20%. We spend more time reading about tools that benefit technologists than strategies that create value and convert into paying customers.

Most startups don't solve technically complex problems, except how the technologists are making their own lives easier through the latest language, tool or framework.

Building a project is different than a product. A product is not just the code. We see proof of marketing ruling with garbage products getting into customers hands and they have no idea of better solutions that are available.

The most important part of this journey is absolutely finding the customer, finding their need that they're willing to pay for, finding how to reach them, and then part addressing their need through code.

You need all of those to have a business that makes money, other wise you have a project you want to try to make money with, not a strategic approach to establishing a business.

Focusing on making money is terrifying to too many technologists. The only way you get there is realizing the product itself is 20% of your business and you will inevitably spend 80% of your time learning to get it traction and paying customers. Of course, it's easy to just code some more to add some "value". If that value doesn't reach customers, it's not realized value, just more potential that will sink.

I agree with the entire article except for the last point: read everything possible.

It's an epic waste of time to read about things in detail that you aren't looking to implement right away. Reading articles, especially if you don't end up acting on them is too often a waste of time because you have to come back to them later and re-read when you're ready to do something with them.

I use a slight tweak on the rule: Only read in detail what I need to do right now, or my next step. Only read things in general to understand where I am on the overall project.

Ask HN: Where to get UX Design/usability advice?
Hello guys,
I need advice for my website to make it simplier to use. The site is basically a form and users do not know that they have to choose all the pull up menus. Does anyone have experience with this? And the users are not reading things so text doesn't help.
The sampling distribution is not the likelihood. It's the fundamental basis of all frequentist inference. Amazingly, even though this is typically taught in introductory statistics virtually no students actually digest its importance. You literally cannot understand frequentist statistics without understanding the idea of a sampling distribution.

The sampling distribution is the distribution of your statistic (MLE estimate, mean, EAP, MAP, or whatever you want) under repeated sampling from the population distribution. Frequentism is an evaluation procedure, which can be applied to any estimator whether it be Bayesian or something like MLE. Frequentists are interested in whether this distribution has "good" properties. Supposedly good properties include things like unbiasedness, consistency, minimum variance, etc. Inference is typically expressed as a function of this distribution (confidence intervals) or by comparing the sampling distribution under some restriction (the null hypothesis) to the actual value of the statistic in the observed sample.

Given that you can't typically sample from the population distribution, the practical question becomes how do you approximate the sampling distribution. Typically this is done by appealing to a central limit theorem. Bootstrapping provides another intuitive approximation.

There are all sorts of problem with this approach to statistics despite its success.
Why Starbucks? Why not setup a barista in a street cart and make your own (and you will also be mobile to handle different areas and sell to foot traffic)? You can skip the Starbucks lines, increase your margin significantly, and work on a better coffee product.

I, as an American, decided to move to Sweden for all of the reasons GP posted, and despite your list of supposed downsides. A few observations after six months here:

* The Swedish summer more than makes up for the dark winter. Not that much colder than Chicago either.

* Taxes are high, but the benefits you get from the taxes are astounding, especially from an American perspective. Great roads, clean cities, amazing public transit, free healthcare, etc.

* Six weeks of vacation, over a year of maternity leave, etc. Enough said.

* Yes, the rental market in Stockholm sucks.

Honestly, Sweden is truly a democratic model that other countries should try following. I'm very happy with my decision to move here and wish I had discovered it sooner.
"We just don't have a sample size of individuals troubled by it that is sufficiently large enough to prove it."

well yeah, then when you do find someone, you have to sort the lunatics from the real cases :)
The biggest difference is in defaults. Hg defaults are more applicable to smaller teams while Git's are towards larger ones. (You can always apply extra flags to get the desired behaviour in either case.)

For example with tags a `git push` does not send them to the other end. If 1,000 people are cooperating then you don't want to see everyone's tags. (`git push --tags` will send them.)
It's a little backwards.

What you're proposing is a little like building a house to see if a customer likes enough to buy it, without letting them pick a layout/blueprint they like, or the conversation that goes into the blueprint of ensuring the customer would want the house.

First, find a target customer. Learn what their painpoints are. See if they're willing to pay for that painpoint. Then, build something to sell to them. This allows you to explore multiple hypotheses, instead of going to them with your idea that ends in a yes or no. By involving customers from the get go, they are more engaged, invested and committed, especially if it could make their life easier.

You will find that this path will reveal to you a completely different set of priorities and pain points that would be small to do, but have a huge impact, which is a great basis for an MVP.

By doing it doing it in reverse, you're hoping you take a stab at it and it pans out, at the expense of not doing the idea development upfront before writing a single line of code. The best way to "market" is to do it as you explore what to do and build a mailing list. Share your journey through a blog focussing on the life and business problem you're solving (not your code or tech breakthroughs).

Learn about your customer instead of guessing your way through what someone might want. Having domain knowledge in a field that you build something for could be helpful but you still have to validate, first, if anyone will pay for it. That's the scary, and what makes it a real business (self sustainable and makes money for you).
I'm a longtime database developer, starting my first web 2.0 app. After much research (including Python, node.js, Go, Perl, Ruby, etc.) I've all but locked on PHP. While I can see that it has idiosyncrasies, I can also see that it's a very mature product.

For example, when I search for "PHP function list", I not only get a function list as the first item, it's an amazingly comprehensive list. The hurdles I've had so far, I've been able to jump over them quickly (quicker than in any other language I've learned) if only because the community support is so good. Usually a simple web search finds the question and answer I'm looking for. I'm pretty blown away by the sheer volume of good info on PHP.

Python is my second choice. There's a lot that I prefer of it, over PHP, but I find that in general its hurdles are higher.

Having developed many industrial-strength apps using less-capable languages, I'm confident I can do the same in PHP.

This was what confused me. I look at the home page and the major features seem to be that it is well documented and has "bundles". That doesn't really tell me how it will make my development easy.
The problem with this article is that chris misunderstands the meaning of the word "experience".

In the context of the research about happiness, experience meant real live experiences.You usually remember those kinds of experiences, they become a part of who you are, and you do use memories of them to change your mood.

Products usually have a different happiness charasteristic. They make you happy but only for a short time and then you get used to them.

Is software products or experiences ? well that depends on the software. airBNB seems to fit on the product model, like a well designed lamp. Using a programming language is an experience.
Now hide that.

Any backdoor in TOR that could remain hidden for so long would have to be a protocol flaw. Implementation changes too much to rely on an obfuscated 'bug' and anything as straightforward as your suggestion would simply be found and removed immediately.

Protocol flaws can of course be found and used by anyone.
I think you went the wrong direction in pitch, but that method does have potential for sure.

>Number two is Microsoft who is extorting upwards of $15 per Android phone sold from a number of vendors as part of their "fair licensing" program even though zero Microsoft code is used in those phones.

Where are you getting this from? this has never been proven and is built on pure speculation. Without a doubt they're earning some money from patent deals, but 15$ per unit sold? unlikely.

>The pricing scheme where DOS was $60 and the very same DOS + Windows was $30?

What? Microsoft are evil because they sold products cheaper than the rest of the market? Please think about what you just wrote.

Microsoft "switched up" windows up with a newer objectively better version of there operating system, Why is it there fault that Novell couldn't adapt to already standard technology used in other operating systems? I don't remember Lotus 1-2-3 ever having an issue running on windows, perhaps you could fill me in because I only ran this software for 15 years.

My grandfather was enlisted in the French infantry, driving horses to haul their outdated artillery through deep mud. His unit quickly had their supply and command cut off, and so they ate their horses and dispersed back to their homes mostly on foot, surviving as best they could on what little they could find.

Later, a couple men from the local resistance showed up at his house, having learned of his experience with explosives. They asked him to join, and he reluctantly agreed.

After he and a colleague blew up a local bridge, the SS came into town and carried off an elderly business owner and respected member of the community. They publicly tortured him and threatened to kill him the following day unless those responsible turned themselves in. Allegedly, that night, my grandfather was forwarded a note smuggled from the captive elderly gentleman saying that he'd lived a full life, and to not under any circumstance surrender to the Germans. He stayed hidden, and the SS executed their hostage. He never shared the note with anyone, and for a long time felt the animosity of the people in his community who reproached his actions and their gruesome consequences.

Yes, but their Model layer, in comparison with what ActiveRecord provides you with, is really not that great. One of the main aspects that I really didn't like was that the Model finder methods don't give you object instances back, but instead you get php arrays with the fetched data from the database.
