I understand where you're coming from, and I'm not denying the fact that Android offers a wider range of devices in different price ranges. I just don't like this concept that many people seem to have stuck in their heads: iPhone = expensive. Android = cheap. All of the high-end phones are expensive, and high-end phones are what we should compare when talking about Android vs iOS because they are in the same price range.

So yes, there most definitely are Android fans out there, but they are most likely using a high-end Android device and not one of the cheap handsets that you couldn't pay me to use.

Very interesting. Seems like you're having heckova time, cheers! :-)
But to answer the original question you do not know what he is _actually_ eating.

Whatever the lunch menu says he is eating and the actual quality of the food served could differ in the extreme.

Practically the only way you could know this is if the school posted pictures of the actual lunches being served. (Like this kid did)

I commend your school for sending menus however, better than others I have heard of.
I would assume that they are testing their accuracy only via these insurers websites, not real policies. Going through geico's site, it doesn't seem to need any credit/real identification, so they probably aren't running a credit model (at least to get to an estimated quote).
I remember LOVING the "Doomsday Gun" movie when I was a kid. It was one of those that was on TV late at night and I watched it secretly long after I was supposed to be in bed.

Though you don't even need to look at what he did for Iraq, right? His first project launched projectiles into space for the DoD iirc.
I meant plain HTTP without another layer of complexity on top. REST to me is someone's PhD thesis, the man who designed HTTP. When I read it, I interpreted it as an argument for the use of HTTP (his baby) and the benefit of keeping things as simple as they can be kept. But lots of people seem to have taken it to be some sort of API. I'm not sure anyone can definitively say what is and what is not "REST", except Fielding himself. All I see is disagreement. I'm in favor of simplification (or more specifically, not adding complexity where it is not needed). Whether that is "REST" or whatever, I don't know. Using just HTTP is simpler. It worked fine before these other things like XML, SOAP and JSON came along. (And I have a hunch that's why he wrote a thesis to illustrate how HTTP can be used for most things people are trying to do with XML, SOAP and JSON.) That's all I know.
That was actually the first thing that came into my mind upon your reference to Phaedrus, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were referring to something deeper. Socrates crime in his time was defying the state's moral code. For which he was put to death. He was a soldier in Athens' army, and possibly killed other men in that role (for which most societies forgive to this day), but he never murdered. Kaczynski murdered in cold blood. Comparing him to Socrates in any way is vacuous. This is called ethics.
Quantum entanglement cannot be used to transmit information. This would fundamentally violate relativity and all modern understandings of physics. Additionally, sending a signal to Mars takes much longer than 15 seconds (still over 4 minutes at the closest approach).
Self-driving cars are a risky technology that requires large, long-term capital investments and genuine innovations. If Google is granted a 20-year monopoly on their in-house inventions, to me that would be a fair and proper use of the patent systems.

I'm opposed to the patent-troll business practices that have arisen recently, but not opposed to a patent system that grants rights to genuine innovators who take risks to bring new developments to market.

As you've noted the 'top 10' isn't a good weathervane on what's actually making up the bulk of sales, top 10 is the statistical mode, not the average. The revenue figures for each company paint a clear picture of what their average phone sale is, and a better clue to where the bulk of the phones are predominantly sold.

A review of the IDC data shows that 'other' brands make up 27%, that's a share larger than Apple's, and testament to just how many fringe product brands there are out there, let alone the listless number of smartphone models that exist under each of those fringe brands.

Additionally, as you've noted top 10 is restricted to a certain time period, again not a good indicator for total sales of a handset.

High salary.

If you're actually a real partner (a concept that makes more sense in lifestyle businesses than in VC-funded startups, where only founders and VC implants end up being partners) then equity can make you rich. If you're the 35th person to hop onto the train, you're really just an employee and you're better off with a decent paycheck. The options might pay off, but they won't make you rich in most cases... so it's usually better to have a salary, which might not make you rich either but gives you stability.

The #1 concern should be what you'll learn and what kind of role you'll have, though. Unless we're talking about order-of-magnitude differences, or at least orders of binary magnitude, that's more important than either.

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

I find this sort of post interesting because it demonstrates some of the unintended consequences of new technology. We've seen a handful of interesting methods used to recover stolen devices. We've seen a handful of frightening methods used to attack, harass, or exploit someone. These are interesting trends.
I'm going to suggest this kind of post is more suitable for Reddit?

He could be 100% guilty, or imagine the possibility he is softhearted and could have bought it off some scammer who tricked him and said they were in desperate need of cash, etc.

I think the negative comments which came out recently regarding possible threats to earnings from the mobile platform, GM pulling their ads from Facebook and the increase in the offering size all contributed towards this downfall. I think when Facebook comes out with their earnings next quarter, people will have a better idea where the company is headed and the shares might get a higher bid.
Avoiding HNSearch API limits
I would hate to be controlled so much. They better pay me a lot of money to "restrict my freedom" so much.

Unless I was breaking some sort of ethical/moral code of the business, then it's stupid to try and control the personal life of people. That is just me though.
Much more reasonable interpretation: he didn't leave his wife for her, so she got angry and threatened to destroy him. A jilted lover story line makes a lot more sense than a "harass into having sex two or three times" story. No physical force is alleged, no police report was filed, no kidnapping occurred. This is something she only felt bad about after things ended. It sure isn't what normal people perceive as "harassment" if it was reciprocated with "two or three" episodes of sex (because who's counting!)

Future civilizations are going to look at our bizarre notions regarding sex like we looked at the notions of the Victorians.
Knowing why it happens (and as a person who posted in some of those previous years-old threads, I'm familiar with the issue) doesn't make it any less annoying when it does.
I don't mind "startup salary" if I like the technologies and believe in the product and more importantly the people. I make half what I used to make in a corporate environment but I love what I do and the people are as and more talented than I.

If I don't believe so much in the product or the people, then it's just another job. Equity is a non factor and the salary must be commensurate with my experience.

I was astonished by figure 15, showing that although NASA,s budget has historically been about 1% of the total federal budget, the general public simply has no idea, with 15%+ of the public (in the 1990s) thinking that NASA consumes 50% or more of total federal spending.

The Federal Reserve can answer your money-related question! Let's go to their website and look at H6, "Money Stock Measures" - http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/current/h6.htm

According to this release, as of April 2012, the money supply measure M1 (currency + check-like thingies) consisted of $1707.9 billion, of which $1036.9 billion was actual circulating currency (not in vaults). So, yes. There is roughly $1 trillion USD currency circulating.

If you include savings-account-like thingies, M2, there is $9842.2 billion in money.

Intel didn't get popular because of speed. They got popular for only two things: people write software for their platform, and they're cheap. Just as one example, the DEC Alpha was never slower but they were cancelled by Compaq who backed Intel's Itanium instead.
Thanks for pointing out not-so-obvious-to-me.
You could not pay me enough to stop networking and that's basically what you are asking me to do. Changing jobs comes with a significant salary increase usually (or you are doing it wrong) Agreeing to a deal like this would be foolish.

I like it! This is long overdue, and I want an actual implementation. That said, I think the spec as currently written is much too slow to accept newly-seen pins and much too eager to expire old ones. In section 3.2, it says

> When a client sees a new hostname and TACK key combination, an inactive pin is created. Every subsequent time the client sees the same pin, the pin is "activated" for a period equal to the timespan between the first time the pin was seen and the most recent time, up to a maximum period of 30 days.

But this means failing to protect in many cases where protection is possible.

If a pin is seen once, then any future certificate without that pin should generate a warning, immediately and forever. If there is reason to suspect that a tack is invalid (say, because it's very old), then soften the warning message. (This would probably mean that a domain has changed owners. In that case, I want to at least clear cookies for that domain, and would appreciate a warning and an easy user interface for doing so.)

And if I visit a site exactly twice, I see a tack the first time, and I don't see it the second time, then regardless of whether it was an attack the first time and is okay now, or was okay the first time and is an attack now, I absolutely must know because that is not something that will happen legitimately.

Also, I would add the following language: "If TACK validation fails, the client SHOULD provide an easily accessible mechanism for submitting the certificate and associated information to a third party for analysis." Because that's what it'll take for rogue CAs to be discovered.
Do you agree that Occam's razor slices differently for others? For example, if you agree that women are human beings, you also agree that they are just as prone to any human to misrepresent the facts in their favor. And Ms. Pao stands to make a great deal of money from this suit if it goes through.

> AMD lived for years in Intel's shadow and barely scraped by, surviving only because they were willing to price their chips lower than Intel wanted to.

You mean cutting margins to survive while they didn't have the luxury of massive volume pricing? Isn't this exactly what you were arguing can not possibly happen?

> ARM is something of an anomaly. They were as much as left for dead, with conventional wisdom thinking one of Motorola, IBM or even Intel would run them over like a bug on the road.

Which architectures from each of those companies was in competition with ARM in its early days? I don't think that competition came till much later when ARM had already proven itself in the micro-controller market.

> To credit NVidia with the success of 3Dfx is misleading. It was the Voodoo card that was marketed aggressively to consumers which

Nvidia bought them because Nvidia created a part that performed on par or better than the 3Dfx part but also did 2D, which was a flat out revolution in the graphics card market.

> All three of these companies got lucky.

Sorry, that is just an incredibly egotistical comment to make.

Transmeta couldn't convince enough people (at the time) that it was worth trading computing power for longer battery life. They never sold enough hardware units to stay afloat. But I consider them a success because they sold their IP to Intel who actually used it in the Pentium M which became the basis for all their processors starting with the Core line. So Intel chips today use at least some of the power management features that were patented by Transmeta.
Just to play angel's advocate, your parent could have been referring to an abstract malicious hacker, who would probably think the same way and use the same techniques as Pinky. The "mind of a hacker (the malicious kind)" is probably very much like the mind of Pinky, except for the parts governing ethics. And he asks what to do "against people like this", not what to do against Pinky himself.

But you are right, and it is valuable to point out that neither Pinky nor Homakov nor any other talented whitehat are in no way malicious.
Perhaps this is ignorance, but I do not want this anywhere near my food. The FDA's said a lot of things are non-toxic over the years.
It's kind-of disappointing no one considers how much this would ruin his career. Now that this has been made public, will he be able to find a job anywhere else? If she had just quietly alerted Disney, they would have probably fired the guy and returned her her phone along with some compensation. He would have learnt his lesson and would have gotten a job elsewhere. Now that this has been made public, it'll be hard for him to find a job anywhere else. She basically ruined his life. And no one seems to care about him. Everyone just finds it funny.

The world is a cruel place, indeed.
Re ARM: they grew up in a market Intel etc didn't want: embedded devices. It's only a "hole" to squeak through when viewed from the laptop/desktop market. From ARM's point of view, it was a legitimate market.
This "different market" is part of the technical definition of disruption, and is arguably very common, even inevitable.

But note that they haven't disrupted {lap,/desk}tops yet, despite having comparable power. The barrier isn't manufacturing scale but compatibility with x86's massive install-base of software. One way around this is an entirely new ecosystem, such as phones/tablets.

You don't need to.

Groupon's business model was ridiculous from the beginning, and they actively engaged in attempts to manipulate their earnings numbers.

Facebook's model is fundamentally unremarkable and quite similar to a number of other profitable companies. You can question the strategy and execution, but the general model is known to work. Here questions are being presented about how forecasts were handled in the run-up to the IPO. Based on what we know/suspect, the underwriters would necessarily be implicated in any actual wrongdoing, but there is thus far little evidence to suggest Facebook made any sort of Groupon-like manipulation or coverup attempt. It can and should be investigated, but we're a long way from torches and pitchforks on Zuckerberg's front lawn.

This is a good comment because it steps through the math. People seem to go to amazing lengths to avoid doing back-of-the-envelope calculations of this sort. Thank you.

I will say that "3% of $100M (and no other outcomes)" would be an extremely pessimistic assessment of a startup, a so-called "risky double."

"why this kind of horse power cannot run something as simple as a web browser"

Web browsers aren't simple. Every web page is a complicated nest of sizing constraints and it seems like hardly a CSS property is added without making that worse. And then IE4 had to come along and make all of these sizing constraints dynamically changeable. And then we wanted fancier font rendering, so glyphs weren't free or even cheap anymore.

And I'm just talking text & tags here, not even remotely about anything like OpenGL or video, just core browser stuff.

You can render web pages on mere dribbles of power with Links/Lynx, but it's not some sort of mere coincidence that the result is a much degraded experience, it's actually fundamental to what a web browser is nowadays. I mean, look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTnIxIA5KGw And that's a simple webpage.

I think there are a couple interesting issues with self-driving cars.

1. Liability: How does an insurance company properly underwrite a self-driving auto policy? How is fault/liability determined if there's an accident?

2. Privacy: Does it make sense to have self-driving vehicles synced to each other to optimize road safety? Will there be a "black box" recording driving data? Or even a camera? Who will have the right to access that data?
You say that as if human-operated cars aren't already the planet's foremost killing machines.

Honestly, in terms of safety, having your automated car do "better than a human driver" is a pretty low bar, compared to the risks faced everywhere else in your life.

The secret to getting ketchup out is to give it a good shake, then hit the heel of your hand "upwards" on the top of the bottle, near where the neck meets the body (on the 57 or not, doesn't really matter). The upward force is what counts, and it somehow gets the ketchup to come out relatively smoothly. Most people strike downwards, and that's why it doesn't work. If you don't believe me, try it! Learned this trick from my uncle.

I'm guessing the functional principle here is somehow related to vacuums, those pop-tops on the new Miller beer cans, etc.
