That particular topic about Yelp and their reviews have been discussed many times on HN.
Yelp is a major scam company that absolutely do not care about the business owner. They are in it for the money -doh- and what matters for them is Page Views, and regular users posting more reviews, thus more page views.
Their filtering system is a total mess but since it is a secret on how it works they can say whatever they want... As long as their filtering system goes into promoting page views.
Nowhere in there they care about the small business that are badly hurt by their lack of common sense.

Simply don't use Yelp for posting reviews or reading reviews, this is the best thing anyone can do.

PS: I speak from close personal experience with my wife small business being hit hard by Yelp algorithms for filtering review, and Yelp scammy sales people.
But they do care when they're wall contains things they didn't plan to share. Curiously, I've seen this a lot with G+ and Picasa.
With the exception of the translation limits (a strict reading of which may allow a compiler that can only compile a single program), it's pretty much trivial to avoid undefined behavior.

Implementation-defined behavior can be harder to avoid, but that's not a problem if you're targeting a known implementation.
Apple ran CP/M? in which universe? It didn't even have the right CPU without an add-on card (which was AFAIK the only way to run CP/M on Apple)

Apple I, II{,e,/GS}, III, Lisa, and Mac before OS/X all had proprietary Apple-developed operating systems (in the general sense, including bioses, stuff like Apple DOS, ProDOS, Diversi DOS and others which don't look like modern operating systems).

Applesoft basic was originally developed by Microsoft, and I'm sure other things were licensesd - but Apple had tight control of everything from 1978, with few exceptions at the time Jobs was not at the company.
I keep seeing articles like this. I read the article, then I find the company on Yelp and read through the reviews.

Every single time it's been very clear that Yelp is telling these businesses that they have a problem. But rather than acting on this extraordinarily valuable feedback the owners/managers react by blaming Yelp for the bad reviews or accusing Yelp of hiding the good reviews.

This behavior frequently exposes the characteristics about which customers are complaining: there's a problem, the owners have been told about it, and they're killing the messenger.

EDIT: I have no connection to Yelp whatsoever. I'm communicating the scope of my experience and the conclusions I've drawn. These conclusions may be grossly flawed. It wouldn't be the first time today. :)
Same here. Tried Firefox and Chrome but still couldn't get it to work. Finally tried IE and now it works; I actually see add buttons and the names of the ingredients on the left hand side. In FF and Chrome, only the thumbnails are visible in the ingredients list.
Well, a soldier can attack or defend, if needed. With a rifle you can assault people or protect your home :)
It's worth nothing that the government, in its brief, wrote Goodwin has another legal option to pursue if he believes his possessions weren't treated fairly. "Mr. Goodwin," the government's lawyers wrote, "can sue MegaUpload or Carpathia [Hosting, the company that hosted MegaUpload's servers] to recover his losses."

So he can sue MU, which has had all of its assets frozen and has no access to the files (so no restitution can possibly occur), or sue Carpathia, where the only obligation they could even remotely be under is to return the files, except there's a court order telling them they cannot recover the files.

Carpathia is not responsible for the takedown. MU might be responsible for the takedown, but they have no available assets to award recovery to affected users.
Yes. This is exactly how I feel. Let the phone drive the data/storage. The dock/mode/inputs are all situational.

Mobile will still be a mobile experience, desktop a desktop, the phone can even slide into a damn tablet...

But the same mobile device is the little chip inside the cyborg.
The Half Ass Consumerization of the Enterprise: Flexible Pricing Models
> Denver's got enough of a tech scene to support salaries in that range without fuss or lack of interesting work, so you're not harming your career prospects by moving here.

Doesn't that depend on what "tech" and "career" we're talking about?

> There's great weather and a laid back culture that is surprising given that many in Denver identify as "Midwesterners" - a term I associate with negative qualities that I've not found here.

"my neighbors aren't the hicks that I expected" is an "interesting" thing to say. (Then again, I don't think that "midwesterners" has negative connotations.)

BTW "six figures" covers 100k to 999k, so it's not all that useful for comparing real estate prices. (While SF is considerably more pricy than Denver, you don't have to spend $1M to get good stuff in SF.)

Note that SF is close to SV. What'd Denver close to that compares? How about the east bay?

I'd argue that SF is the tail, not the dog, albeit a damn fine tail. Even if you think that SF is "it", you can't discount the value of the surrounding areas in any comparisons.

The suit was dismissed because of lack of evidence of extortion.
> Microsoft has time to generate an "ecosystem", the clunky technology buzzword for what the rest of the world calls "markets".

That was arrogant! Ecosystems are more than just markets.
... and thereby killing the Swiss economy, thankyouverymuch. We're struggling enough with the strong Swiss Franc against the Euro as it is. A further devaluation of the Euro would be pretty devastating for Switzerland, even if a strong Deutsche Mark would mitigate the effects a bit.
> when you add a single line of assembly code (inline or not) to your C code, you inhibit all optimizations that could take place.

That's a significant exaggeration with most compilers. You may inhibit some optimization which would require the compiler be able to reason about side-effects across the asm block, but that's a far cry from "all optimizations".
Have edited the original ... thanks for the question.
But I still see them using very old hardware in their phones, which means their development cycle for "current" phones started quite a while back. Otherwise they should be able to make phones with cutting edge technology, like most Android manufacturers and Apple can.

I wouldn’t say any of the new Nokia Windows Phones (Lumia 710, 800, 900) use ‘old’ hardware at all. You have to realize the WP OS currently doesn’t support dual/quad-core CPUs and has a fixed screen resolution (800x480); so if that’s what you’re referencing, I’d say that’s not a case of slow development cycles but a limitation of the OS that Nokia must abide by.

And what’s the value in just looking at something purely based on hardware? What should matter is how it performs. WP is optimized to work with the minimal hardware specs MSFT has called-for and is remarkably snappy with it's single-core processers, and gets great battery life, so how would ‘newer’ hardware add-value here?

So, given the above, what ‘cutting-edge’ tech would you have them add? Resolution aside, the Lumia 900 has one of the best screens around, it’s 4G, I’d say it has the best offline navigation around (Nokia owns Navteq after all), and I’d say the phone's design itself is pretty cutting-edge as well.
I have no problem with people trying to voice their opinions on distribution, price or convenience as your manifesto points out.

I have a problem with the entitlement or even "right" to consume a product or service if you have other opinions on the conditions of such consumption.

I say it again, if you don't like the conditions, don't buy. If you don't like a product in the store because of its price, it's apparence, it's production environment, what you do it to use your buying power and market pressure to force alternatives. If those alternatives do not spring up, that probably means that a sufficient amount of people are fine with the conditions of the product or service for the business to disregard people like you.
If ever a comment deserved down voting into oblivion, this would be it.

Your advice is for everyone that is providing and using shared web hosting, to stop it?
> we need to solve in order to design effective government

Is there actually any demand for "effective govt"? (Yes, lots of people claim to want it, but do you really think that there's large scale agreement on what that means?)
None of that solves the problem of being vulnerable to issues in the cloud, though. There are about 10 billion things that have to work correctly for your data to be accessible and safe and only 1 or 2 things that have to go wrong for it to be gone forever.
It goes beyond that, though. I reviewed a local deli around a year ago. I had been using Yelp for a few months, and it was probably my tenth review. I hadn't been asked to provide a review. None of the reasons they cited in the article applied to me, yet my review was buried, and negative reviews from newer users were left unfiltered.

I took my ball and went home. Yelp sucks.
The Avengers has been released nearly everywhere in the world, yet it leads in terms of piracy.
My son's CS101 class at Penn State was based on C++ and supposedly taught OOD/OOP. But the instructor only focused on syntax and there were vast portions of the whole class system missing from the course.

I think it's probably a mistake to teach OOD/OOP in an introductory course and would rather see types, assignment, flow-control, etc. covered in a thorough manner. As it was, he ended up with big gaps in his general knowledge.
Because as a user you can only share with your friends, because 270m people is an impossibly large number and it would feel not even worth trying, because people don't like to be spammed repeatedly, because fb has an authority (on fb) that regular users don't have, because only a fraction of users read blogs (etc) that might have promoted this, because apathy, because even if the userbase achieved this impossible feat there would be nothing to stop fb from just ignoring it.

Enough? Perhaps it should have been better publicised beforehand, but ultimately it would have been futile anyway.

A strong Deutsche Mark would make Germany's exports more expensive, last thing they want (see what's happening to Switzerland right now for example).
Clearly you have not been running a small business.
Some reviews are posted from time to time by people that are not even customers or stopped by the business; for some dumb reason they post a 1 star review.. And that review usually stick and doesn't get filtered out...but other reviews from true customers posting 4 to 5 stars reviews disappear usually in less than 24 hours after they were posted.

What kind of explanation do you have?

The reason to make HTML5 apps is that they'll run on anything with a modern browser. Some applications are related to the underlying device hardware and need to be written in the appropriate SDK, but many programs could be done just as well in HTML5 and would be inherently cross-platform.
In the small print:

"Some of the ClamBook features highlighted may use modified software. It is important to note, most manufacturers strongly caution against installing any software that modifies the original device software (this process is often referred to as “jailbreaking” or “rooting”)."

There are iOS AirPlay APIs for video mirroring on later devices[1] (you can even have different content on the external screen and phone's screen), though I'm not sure how they'd manage to connect a keyboard or trackpad.

This strikes me as more of a design mockup than a viable product. The company does have existing products[2] but they're not nearly as polished.

Yet another example of a too powerful to care government agency which cares nothing for the collateral damage it causes, nor does it have too.

To be blunt, they should be required to release within a timely manner all non offending assets. They claim bad precedent which is more than annoying, its insulting. In other words, as long as they get who they are after they could care less who suffers in the process. Worse, those caught up in the crossfire are not entitled to any assistance whatsoever.

So the moral of the story is, do not keep your data anywhere but on systems you own. I wonder how much Apple and Google have to pay to keep the DOJ at bay? I would assume it is whatever the cost of lawyers are whose entire job is to convince the DOJ all things possible are always done.
In some projects, yes. For example, see the Linux kernel.
> I think Jobs "great artists steal" though is also very important here.

Ironic or Intentional?
I'm on the opposite side of the equation: I quit using it after I discovered it was hiding my positive reviews of establishments I frequent. I refuse to trust anything on that site now.
> I describe a few of these experiences later in the linked thread [0] -- things like hearing turn-by-turn directions to previously unknown locations, or being told to give a particular item to a stranger who had some specific need for that exact item. It is implausible that this is just my own brain, specifically because it's information my brain doesn't have at the time it's communicated.

You need psychological help.
There is more than one physics lib for Haxe and they are separate to the language, the canvas referenced may well be the canvas in the HTML5 compile target or are you mentioning the display list. You don't even have to use that if you target c++, neko or haxe because of another lib; waxe.

Haxe is a language and you can browse the libs available for its compile targets at http://lib.haxe.org/.

If you want to find out more about a framework that uses Haxe and is oriented towards mobile gaming (but not only towards that) checkout HaxeNME.

If you want a nice mature game engine lib built for Haxe try awe6 in the search at http://lib.haxe.org.

Haxe isn't lacking in the game engine department, thing is you can use Haxe with externals for node.js, a lib like noxe that extends haxe to node or simply use whatever javascript lib you feel like and output js. Or use the pure data lib to interact with mobile. Haxe isn't restricted to gaming. It's just one of the things the language allows for.
7 ways you may be exposing your insecurities
Is your codebase well covered by tests? Do they still run after the change? Did you write tests for the change you just made (preferably before the change)? If you answered yes to all these questions, fear not. You are every bit as covered than you'd be with a Java codebase and you probably have the afternoon for code review.

Show HN: Anthropomorphic Visualization of Twitter Style
Wanted to share this project the community. We're 3 brothers who work on a variety of projects on nights and weekends. The latest was inspired by a desire to look at what successful startups are doing with Twitter and in social media. We put this framework together to make comparing twitter accounts as easy as possible.

Biggest difficulty was trying to squeeze the most out of the twitter API limitations as possible. We would rolling our own distributed Twitter request API using multiple accounts. We'll see how it holds up.

Feedback appreciated!

i've actually (probably the only one here who) used them; i think they are not trying to 'invent' something new, like Play (not saying that is a good/bad thing), but to make development easier with plain java and standards (jsp, jdbc... - that is a good:). small size is important not only for performances, but also you can easily tweak the code if something goes wrong. and there is no xml config, but annotations and class path search (nice!). i liked the balance. I didn't like, at that time, that i still had to code to integrate things together; but i see that's changed now (hopefully).

In my case the .crx I want users to install is for an internal application and is a small "hosted app" in the terminology of Chrome. It can only access the domain of our internal app and that's the domain that serves the extension. I don't know how this got lumped in with extensions that access all user data. If it's just a wrapper around my own app and that's all I can access, I don't see how I can do anything malicious.

We just use it to manage permissions and in some cases make use of the full screen feature. There has to be a better way than to treat all .crx files as the same. I don't have a problem with the web store other than that the app is completely inappropriate for the web store (it's only useable to people who are using an internal app).

Which just does plain, dumb text substitution with no understanding of program syntax (or the environment where the expanded macro will appear!). CPP's macro system is a pretty leaky abstraction.

The other points are why I use C (when I use C), but I wouldn't make these three arguments in favor of C.

The problem with the Euro is the moral hazard that it creates.

People in the "PIGS" countries were able to borrow and spend based on the credit of more robust economies such as Germany. So now, the people in these countries will be suffering for years under devaluation or austerity, but the rich who were the biggest beneficiaries of the bubble are completely safe, with their fortunes migrated to strong German banks with the click of a mouse.

The Germans and northern Europeans are culpable in this -- they essentially co-signed billions of loans to countries like Greece that lack the governance ability to function with a German credit line.

Possibly, a few issues though:

Hardware is getting cheaper , for example the $25 raspberry pi computer. It will become likely that peripherals like the screen , case and keyboard will be more expensive than the actual computer itself (especially if the CPU etc are smartphone grade stuff).

If you have additional hardware inside your phone that is unlocked only when it is plugged into a docking station, then why are you carrying that extra hardware around in your pocket the whole time? Why not just put a very fast GPU inside the docking station for example and have some sort of high speed bus.

If you are making 2 versions of the same application with different UIs then that is really very similar to making 2 applications. Sure you can do a lot of code re-use, but this is possible anyway even when you are programming for separate devices.

Portable things like phones get easily lost of broken, imagine losing your smartphone and being basically unable to do anything until you replace it because there is no such thing as a "fat terminal" anymore.

Businesses are probably going to prefer bolted down systems (physically and in terms of software) that employees do not take home with them.

The internet makes this sort of a moot issue anyway, because if most of your applications are SaaS and all of your data is stored on a server anyway then anything with a web browser can become a dumb terminal, there is no need for your own hardware.
An interesting proposition (and seemingly fiscally sound), but it misses a lot of the point of the European integration, which is long term peace in Europe.

Separating Germany seems a particularly bad idea in that context.
Probably - look at the shot of the racing game; the speed and timing on the ClamBook display do not match those on the phone.

It's a nice idea and I could use it to replace most of my desktop functionality - but then I sometimes have to burn a few DVDs, run some in-house developed apps, read/write USB sticks and use a (USB) Yubikey (OTP generator) to access some of our systems so it would be very hard to switch 100% to a ClamBook, and there's no way I'd want to keep alternating between two sets of kit - kinda defeats the purpose - but some may be able to cope.
> compilers have improved

And hardware has changed. Remember, the C machine model (the virtual system you imagine in your head when you write C) doesn't have cache, doesn't have SIMD, and doesn't have any kind of ability to do things in parallel.
From a usability standpoint, having 'dynamic badges' and 'flipcoins' available with the same (nearly the same) gesture just isn't going to work. I know, each of these ideas is unique and not all of them would be adopted by the platform, but it's hard (for me) to keep them separate when they're presented together.

Introducing GigaOM Books
Why do I need a video for my business?
I think some of those problems could be mitigated if we focused less on relatively low levels of wealth, and more on very large ones. To me, the fact that someone can inherit $10m and live a life of leisure without working for it is sort of meh, I guess it's not fair in a sense, but it's difficult to do much about, as you say, and overall is not a huge problem.

On the other hand, someone inheriting $10b can do more than just live a life of leisure: that kind of multi-generational concentration of wealth significantly changes societies, producing quasi-aristocratic families that have oversized influence, and really damaging any sort of pretense to an egalitarian society with a level playing field (something Thomas Jefferson, for example, was very worried about).

So imo inheritance taxes should be mostly aimed at very large fortunes and trusts, stuff in the $100m+ range, not $5m inheritances. Other benefits are that a large exemption would avoid causing problems for inheritance of family businesses, and greatly reduce the number of people affected (which in turn should reduce administrative expenses).
It also leads in box office revenue, so I'm not sure that's sufficient to disprove a correlation between piracy and availability.
No offence but the competitiveness of the Swiss economy really isn't something anyone is concerned with outside of Switzerland (vs the whole EU).
