4. Be a good partner to Twitter

B. Respect the features and functionality embedded with or included in Twitter Content or the Twitter API. Do not attempt to interfere with, intercept, disrupt, filter, or disable any features of the Twitter API or Twitter service, and you should only surface actions that are organically displayed on Twitter.

For example, your Service should execute the unfavorite and delete actions by removing all relevant messaging and Twitter Content, not by publicly displaying to other end users that the Tweet was unfavorited or deleted.

Edit: I know there are some exceptions. For example, the Library of Congress (in the US) is building a permanent archive of all tweets older than 6 months. They have said that if you wait longer than that to delete your tweet, they won't remove it from the archive. I wonder if Twitter would consider a 24-hour rule for official political accounts? If the tweet is left up for 24 hours, then even if it's deleted from the twitter stream, you don't have to delete it from your archive.
Instead of all the Red bull crap, just start doing some Pranayam and Meditation for 5 to 10 minutes. All your other dependencies will drop off, I promise
"The firm has a $1.6bn (£1bn; 1.3bn-euro) contract with the US space agency (Nasa) waiting to be triggered on the successful recovery of Dragon from the ocean."

So.. no pressure or anything.

The problem is that in many dimensions that often just won't work. The cloud of points can be smeared in directions that don't line up with any axes, in such a way that no matter which 2 axes you choose the clusters will overlap (but choosing a plane that doesn't align with any axis will clearly separate them). Even in 3 dimensions, you can see this problem by considering your populations to lie on 2 parallel planes, x+y+z=1 and x+y+z=2. Looking at this in x-y, x-z, or y-z projections, the point clouds will often be inseparable. And yet if you know where to look, all it takes is a projection to one dimension (f(x,y,z) = x+y+z) to separate them cleanly.

The curse of dimensionality appears here in the fact that the "number" of possible ways of projecting the space increases dramatically with the dimension.

Watching the video, I was struck by how slowly and carefully everyone was writing. I guess I might do that if I someone was filming my handwriting, but if it's to compensate for the speed of the sensor it's a problem.

Competing with paper and a pen is hard enough, but if you can't scribble fast it might be a dealbreaker.
That sounds a lot like how Instagram starts uploading pictures when you select the photo, rather than when you hit upload!

Using a screenshot is no cheat. The screenshot is an useful visual cue for user, helping her grasp the GUI as soon as possible, and direct her finger towards the right widget to be clicked. App loading becomes asynchronous, with user able to (start to) perform meaningfull navigation very soon. The user thus makes a good use of the screenshot.

I'd like to put similar feature in my HTML/JS application.
[[EDIT: a web-application for desktop computers; no relation to iOS]]

Currently in my app, any click that pops a new dialog waits for server to HTTP reply and only then draws anything on the screen. What I'd like to have, is to show the dialog right away, with empty fields at first, and inject contents once it arrives from the server. The idea being, the user can grasp the GUI and start moving mouse cursor to the right widget a bit earlier; i.e., less wait after the click.

Btw., Nokia N900, with Maemo Linux, behaves exactly like iOS in that regard -- shows app screenshot very quickly, and loads the app in background. It shows clearly on XTerm app, for example.

Yeah I used my Acer AC700 Chromebook for the same sort of things (research and keeping in touch) and I found it ground to a halt when I had more than 10 tabs open. The most recent UI update has rendered the thing useless for more than a few active tabs so im beginning to question what these are really for.

I honestly don't think these will get any market penetration they are just too under powered, sluggish and expensive. They are definitely no use as a primary machine but even as a secondary machine its basically useless (I mean you are paying 300 quid to open 10 tabs and nothing else!!!) Im reaching to my ipad for a second device.
Oh, well. That is true. ^^
Irrelevant. The truth is, both OSs are designed to give you a basically usable, interactive system before all startup tasks are finished. There's no reason not to this since it doesn't matter if you get a shell prompt before e.g. sendmail is started - even if you manage to write an email in the interim period, it will simply be queued until sendmail is started. But it's not a "deception" when Windows does it; everyone does it.

Imagine a car that didn't let you drive until the aircon had reached the desired temperature...
"Cultural icon" means Glass will be the next iPhone, I think.
How exactly can they get to tweets that have only been posted for a few seconds (and then deleted)? Does the API still return deleted tweets for some time?

Not until they have competition able to break their lock-in, till then the craziness of their format acts as a barrier to entry. So again, it's a problem created by Microsoft, but it's a problem for their users and competitors. And that's why it's not going to be fixed.
The poster is right, iOS takes a screenshot and uses it when switching to your app. The default.png is used only when you first open the app (ie, it was closed).

What happens when you switch orientations? The screenshot/app will show as rotated and rotate to whatever angle the device is currently at.
Anyone knows what is DisplayPort++?
Love this but running this JavaScript SDK in IE is a bit tricky. Basically, if you would like your solution to support 50% of internet users you would be forced to run your HTML/JS solution in a SSL-enabled server. I hope they enable a non-SSL solution soon. Oh! and forget about IE7 or IE6 users.

Am I in the tiny minority here who thinks that what Megaupload was doing was illegal and should be prosecuted? Ok I get it, the US is trying to apply their laws onto the world and that is a big issue but this seems like the wrong case to get outraged over. Megaupload was built for the purpose of hosting/sharing copyrighted files. You know it and I know it.
This is good news actually, we always want improvement in every new software version.

But, i need a better, truly far better, presentation software. If we compare between Ms Office, iWork, and Libre, the only thing i don't like with Libre is the Impress. Impress do presentation like 10 years ago. No keynote-like (just like MS do in Office 2k10) 3D animation, no simple color picker, no shadow effects, no gradient,..

"I know of many so called Technical leads who boast that they don't write code anymore, trying to imply that people who write code or who are good at tech stuff are generally incompetent people not deserving of progress."

very true, in fact I know a bunch of people who want to become tech lead so that they don't have to write any code. Such companies are surviving only due to $ - Rs conversion rates. People outsourcing work to such companies are bound to get hurt.

the streaming API publishes the tweets as they come in. Afterwards, if the tweet has been deleted, the streaming API sends out a delete message. That's... the only way to do real time. Otherwise it... wouldn't be real time.
Advantages this version of the Chromebox has over the base-model Mac mini: slightly faster Core i5; more USB ports (6 versus 4); more DisplayPorts (2 versus 1); comes with more RAM (4 gigs versus 2 gigs); $69 cheaper (using the Chromebox's list price versus Amazon's current price for the Mac mini).

Advantages the mini has over the Chromebox: memory upgradable to 16 gigs (Apple says 8 gigs, but others report that 16 gigs works) whereas the Chromebox's memory does not seem upgradable at all; Firewire and Thunderbolt ports whereas to attach an external drive to the Chromebox your only choice seems to be slow USB 2; storage upgradeable (specifically, you can add an SDD or a second hard drive to the mini).

How repairable and upgradable the Chromebox is I do not know -- googling for "chromebox teardown" finds nothing interesting. iFixit gives the mini a relatively-high repairability rating of 8.5 (but adding a second drive to the mini requires an expensive custom cable).

Size and weight are very close. Both have the power supply inside the device.
I don't claim to be a lawyer, but I have read up on this case, including the indictment. As always, if your interest in legal matters is anything but academic curiosity, consult a lawyer.

One thing that stands out to me is that most of this argument is against the idea that criminal infringement applies to secondary liability (i.e. faulting these guys for the infringement of others). One problem for them is that the indictment accuses some of them of direct infringement based on some of MU's emails. This can lead to trouble with the NET Act [1], which has the explicit criminal liability they need to extradite here. There are limits, though: they would need to be able to prove that enough infringement had happened to rise to a criminal level.

They also have criminal conspiracy charges in there, though I believe those to be predicated on proving some sort of criminal infringement. Note, however, that on the acts of direct infringement, it's possible for not everyone in the group to be involved. For example, one of the emails I remember about locating a pirate copy of some show was between a couple of employees. That wouldn't necessarily implicate Kim himself unless they could connect him to the act.

There was a lot of nonsense in the indictment, though, trying to make everything sound like it had a criminal motive. Some of the same allegations made in it could be repeated against sites like YouTube, for example. The indictment did, however, contain quite a few emails that made the Mega group look pretty bad. I believe their lawyers already addressed those, saying that their words were being twisted around.

Ultimately, I think this is going to be a fairly unpredictable case.

The thing is, it's not true.

UPS only have an exclusive on deliveries to inside the Olympic venues themselves, not the houses or buildings outside them. So if you live in the area, there's no real change (other than traffic causing you all sorts of issues).

the main reason for me to ask was, if any company is brave enough to show what's running under the hood... It could be a good exercise for companies like Twitter to show everything.
For me, the fantastic thing about the first iPod was immediate access to any track, combined with shuffle play. It changed the experience of listening to music. It was like my entire collection had a single, superfluid interface. And the thing FELT great.

Even if you credit marketing with bringing this to people's attention, it's a mistake to think that marketing closes the deal. That credit goes to the experience, which was as imaginative, compelling, and well-designed as the object itself. As the (very) old ad agency joke goes "Nothing destroys a bad product faster than good advertising." Clearly that's not happening here.

I will never understand people ignore the product itself while insisting success is "just" marketing (as though this were an invariably witless task). Usually this is followed by "to people who are idiots." Perhaps you just don't appreciate things that are carefully considered and well made. There are people like this, and there always have been. And they suck. Or as Shakespeare put it "you blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things."

Assange and the reputation of the Swedish legal system
I work for the civil service in the UK and previosuly the oppositte was true. When looking for new software solutions FOSS was not appropriate because "the tender process could not assess free software".
The US government knew they never had a solid case from the start. This whole situation was never going anywhere, it was created to disrupt traffic to Megaupload (and it did), only the exact opposite is now going to happen. Megaupload are going to get a heap of cash back, Dotcom is obviously angry and will no doubt force Megaupload back to the top of the file sharing food chain before too long.

The bottom line here is: the US turned what is a civil matter into a criminal one by dressing everything up in money laundering and conspiracy charges and it backfired. I'm no lawyer though.

I don't know how to convey the opposite opinion in a way you've likely not heard before. I'll go to extremes.

And a handgun is made to kill people. But we generally agree there's a limited context in which that is acceptable, so we allow it. If I want to store my files online, copywritten or not, there's nothing illegal about it.
Just build a computer, a physical general computation device, with a motherboard that doesn't have Windows sticker on the box (the shiny thing issued by Microsoft) and you should be fine.
This really is an excellent observation.

I have often wondered whether this feeling of software being insubstantial slows down the propagation of FOSS in general? People seem to feel they are getting less of a tool when they can download something for free and don't have to wait for it to perform tasks as they would with larger, more bloated works.

This may be a little off topic, but I wonder how much of this phenomenon is born out of consumerism? We are used to having to wait or forfeit other luxuries in order to gain access to high quality things, so when we are presented with an excellent, free solution our perception of it is automatically jaded by our beliefs? Is this international?
I had lucid dreams fairly regularly during my teen years (I suspect due to some strangeness caused by sleep apnea). These days it's treated and I don't have these anymore. Though, for anyone interested I think it's totally worth trying to trigger it. It's an interesting experience.
Yes, since the 1970s or perhaps earlier, most computer software has been "forms" (screens for a user to enter some information to be stored in a DB) and "reports" (screens that present information stored in a DB to the user). That's it. Green screens, client-server, web sites, etc are all variations on a theme.

The "social network" aspects of FB could perfectly well have been done on an IBM mainframe with 3270 terminals running IMS, 40 years ago.
But it's not a trick. It's a seamless way of being responsive. If it flashed a loading message every time an app was started, the user would know that their selection was registered by the phone, but the result would not be seamless like Apple's ingenious solution.

A loading dialog that flashes on the screen for a second would be annoying, and the phone wouldn't be as good that way.
Very nice video. For those less able to follow the calculus, another way to get at least a little intuition about this result is to think about how far the farthest points in a unit cube are from the origin - in 20 dimensions, the point (1,1,...1,1) is sqrt(20) ~= 4.47 units from the origin, so the 19-sphere only "reaches" 1/sqrt(20) ~= 0.22 of the way to the corners of the 20-cube.
1. The Chromebox has 16gb of internal storage. I'm fairly certain it's using the same SSD model the Cr-48s and other Chromebooks used, which is not easily replaceable (difficult to find a fitting card)

2. Chrome laptops and (now) desktops use verified boot, you won't be able to install your own OS unless you literally crack open the case (there are physical implements to prevent firmware flashing) and flash your own BIOS.
a) That's not a "don't care" attitude as much as a product company attitude. Companies that respond to individual customers' "quickly want feature" requests are consultancies, and consultants can't as easily just take a month out of the calendar.

b) That's very much the point. You get to switch contexts completely and immerse yourself in the idea. Presumably they have their support and operations concerns covered by non-developers, and if there's an emergency, devs are around to deal with it.

c) Think about it for a minute: "As a CEO, I want my employees should keep their creativity under wraps, so they don't get inspired to quit". If some employees get an idea that doesn't fit 37S, but they believe enough in to give up the very comfortable life as 37S employees for it, then that's a good thing. Or at least, it's an unavoidable by-product of hiring brilliant people.
The problem with Intel is the lack of ability to customize the SoC. Intel has run NVidia out of the chipset market and has incentives to do the same in the mobile market.
Yup... no 14 core chips here
Opus is actually designed to span from low to high bandwidth (see the diagram here http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/) and since it performed surprisingly well against aac and vorbis the developers are currently working on tuning the encoder for standard music/soundtrack type workloads at higher bitrates.

I was thinking that the mixed speech mode of Opus might be excellent for documentaries and such with lots of dialogue at Youtube or web bitrates but you're right, I forgot in this case we're talking Blu-ray size video, in which case you can just play it safe and ramp up the vorbis bitrate instead and it'll be a drop in the ocean compared with the video bitrate.
Intel is getting pretty close. in a benchmark of a medfield phone, battery capacity for web browsing was just 20% lower than the best android phone benchmarked[1].

And medfield still uses 32nm process,not the latest finfet 22nm process intel is so proud of.

And the orange san-diego is also priced reasonably at $300.

So this looks like a fair fight.

I'm not sure how they compare to Ruby's "ruote", but there are quite a few Python workflow managers and libraries out there.

GC3Pie (http://gc3pie.googlecode.com/) is a Python library for running many-task workflows featuring interruptible execution, interfaces to SGE, PBS and LSF clusters, and composition operators to build dynamic task dependencies (so, not just DAGs). Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers.

Weaver (http://bitbucket.org/pbui/weaver) is a Python front-end for building workflows that can run on top of the Makeflow engine, supporting SGE, Condor and WorkQueue as execution back-ends. (See the comment by its author "pbui" on another HN thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4047100)

NiPyPe (http://nipy.sourceforge.net/nipype/) is a Python workflow engine especially targeted at Neuro-Imaging processing (but the core framework is generic, as far as I understand).

I'm pretty sure this list is not exhaustive: many people seem to be re-writing the same core functionality, coming from different fields and/or with slightly different requirements.
