I wonder where it's acceptable to draw the line. Can't everything be breached eventually?
I say, at that point, let the FSF "reform" software patents.
I can always tell I'm in a room full of programmers when they say "coding" is the most important part of making software. Oh really? That's a bit like saying the person laying asphalt on the road is the most important part of making the road. Oh, hey, what about the Engineers who designed the roading material? The Planners who decided where the road should go. The Project Manager who actually gets people to do things, and stops management from changing their mind about where the road should go, and when it should be created.

Nope, just the guy physically laying the road.

I had a big debate with a programmer about why Business Analysts, Project Managers, and even Enterprise Architects get paid more than programmers. Programmers create something from nothing. Without them, there would be no software. And that's indeed correct. But has the problem of getting software working in large enterprise environments been down to a lack of technology?

Generally not. It's more down to those human factors like what are the requirements, who is the stakeholder, who has responsibility for this project, who's got the budget, what are we doing, when is this ready, why did we build this when we could have bought that, all of these soft skills, they're the reasons why software projects fail. Not the software (generally, don't find an edge case and be all Aha!).

That's why I'm working on becoming an Enterprise Architect. I can barely code, and I'm OK with that. Because I do know about the structure of the business, the canonical data model with an organisation, the high level enterprise applications that support that information, and the infrastructure that support the applications. Sure I'm not an expert in any one of those areas, but being knowledgeable combined with being able to talk to the CIO and the CEO with them understanding what I'm saying, that's a rare skill indeed.
This has to be asked: can someone reply with a breakdown of all of Miahi Pătraşcu's work, at least the important bits, with a single sentence description of why it's important? Let's remember Mihai for the good he did for us, I think that's the best way to commemorate him.
We're not really seeing this efficiency, though. For all the money being funneled into a small set of people, most of whom are not entrepreneurs but well-connected parasites, there's very little coming of value out of it.

Take human transportation. We're abysmal at it. Sure, we've gotten great at sending bits around, but for a person to travel from New York to London still costs several hundred dollars. The average person who works in New York commutes for about 35 minutes each way, and the inefficacy of our transport systems (all around the world) is reflected in ridiculous real estate prices. All of this is an unmitigated disaster, and the concentration of wealth isn't solving any of it.

(For local transport, the solution is to tax landowners at extremely high rates and use the proceeds to build the world's best public transportation system in every major city, thus bringing housing costs down by increasing the available supply. The long-distance problem is harder and requires innovations in our energy policy.)

There are big, real problems for humanity to solve, and rich people living out dreams based on what they saw in "kid-gets-rich" movies written decades ago do not solve them.

How I Turned an iPod Touch into $20,000
To put it simply, yes. Americans will run a mile if you're billing in currency other than USD. You're looking ca. 80% drop in conversion rate. Approximation is not an option, it's all about perception.

Whereas the ROTW is pretty much accustomed to being billed in USD online and the impact is far lower.

For me, for my market, AUD+USD are mandatory and optionally GBP/EUR are a strong plus.

It's private property, why should you get any assurance?

A state or federal park program is about as far away from an assurance as you could get. The feds and states sell off land all the time for development, and given the entire US Government system is bankrupt, that trend will accelerate.
I believe EFF tries to avoid fight back from Big Corps. However, you're absolutely right. Software patents are absurd and should be abolished once and for all.

I think, (and I'm being presumptuous here), everyone knows there are no true 'bins', and that people are complicated, and every characteristic is from in a continuous metric, and there is no good or bad.

I also think that this is why bins are used. It's not an attempt at correctly describing people, but rather a simplification, using general terms in order to communicate the traits in a, best-effort, meaningful way.

I could never adequately describe how I _truly_ am as a person. All I can do is draw on gross simplifications that you yourself can translate to a meaningful metric based on your own experience.

Use Background Images in Headers/Footers & Adding TOC in SQL Reports
The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 3.6.0 has been released. This release introduces SSRS Report Rectangle Background Image Rendering to Word. Now you can use background images in headers/footers, rectangles and textboxes. Now users can add Table of contents by inserting a simple textbox with text TOC in its ToolTip field. Note that you will need to update TOC manually after opening of the document. We continue working to enable automatic TOC refresh (no need of manual update). The list of new & improved features in this release are listed below

•	SSRS Report Rectangle Background Image Rendering to Word
•	Adding Table of Contents in AWRS2008
•	RepeatOnNewPage property of the static header row in a tablix is fixed
•	Table Headers not repeated for matrix report is now fixed
•	Page break within a rectangle not working for Aspose.words for Reporting services is fixed
•	Aspose.Words for RS2008 Abnormal separation of Tablix Data
•	Placeholder set as HTML-interpret HTML tags as styles; now properly working
•	The heading section of report is now exported in Doc/Docx file
•	improved Chart images saving in generated HTML file
“Office On The iPad” App Raises $16M, Is Adding Group Collaboration
This is entirely wrong. From personal experience, I've seen one of our forums for a utility app, grow a nice little community with not so much as a single false post. Users started appearing by themselves after having tried out the app, and we ended up with a decent, albeit small community on the forum. There's plenty of other forums as well, that grows from a small group of real users. Hell, every subreddit starts like that, except apparently for the first ones populated only by the reddit founders.

Ellison currently yields $300x million per year just in dividends from his Oracle stake.

I'd say he's cash flowin' just fine.

Fun side fact: Steve Ballmer earns nearly half a billion dollars every year from dividends via his Microsoft stake.
I am fairly certain they still use "fake" submissions (and paid users) to great effect.

Recently a user "karmanaut" was exposed as systematically taking the highest-ranking comment of a previous picture submission and adding it to the picture when it was resubmitted (resubmissions on reddit are fairly common, yet they do make the frontpage again and again). It was clearly done with the help of a bot. The moderators initially deleted the thread that pointed to his shenanigans.

A lot of front page submissions originate from the same dozen-or-so people who are apparently on reddit all day long. I would not be surprised if - just like owners of YouTube channels - there are content creators in reddit that get paid as such.

If it works, it works.
I don't think the point of the parent comment contradicts what you are saying.

Arguably those "introverted" folks tend to be the types who long for human beings to understand each other even more than "extroverted" people do.

One of Thoreau's crowning achievements was his work on non violent resistance, which in practice is aimed at precisely the same target as the wishes the parent commenter lists.
Interesting, but you might get better mileage out of a teensy arduino (http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/) a tin, and some proper foot switches.

Do you want your bank vault to be locked with a Masterlock padlock, or a 1-ton safe door with glass inserts and an armed guard? That's the difference between unsalted MD5 and salted SHA.
Sure, that makes sense, I'm just of the opinion that scales describe people a bit more accurately than bins, e.g. the Kinsey scale:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale

I think you're right, though, most people probably use it as a sort of description rather than a hard categorization.
Haha :D I have actually had the same exact idea. I'm a very keyboard oriented user and I have a wide variety of gaming controllers (including 2 sets of different kinds of pedals for aviation and racing). So I've been thinking about doing a foot operated PC controller, but someone beat me to it.

I'm pretty happy by having my caps lock key mapped to escape, though.
Titanium vs Phonegap vs Native application development
I wonder how suitcase-full-of-truecrypt-disks compares to pgp/tls transport of data over the internet in terms of probability of detection, interception and access.

I recall the US now has a relatively free hand in confiscating storage media for analysis/cloning during border crossings, and you might not get your copy back for a couple of months if they take a serious interest.

So, even though the aeroplane travel infrastructure itself is quite reliable, there are points of failure that would require another copy of the data to be created and shipped, with a much greater latency (It might take days to purchase more disks, transfer all the data onto them, find a willing courier, book their flight, etc).
Ask HN - What is the best way to reach out to Enterprise/SMB customers?
Let's say we are working on an application for small businesses & enterprises.

Now we want to approach various businesses to sign them up as our customers.

What is the best way to do so?

Which forums are the best place to get in touch with them?

I am sure many entrepreneurs here must have done a lot of leg work. Any advice/help will be very helpful.
8 Points on Whether In-House Billing or Outsourcing Services
Industry experts discuss different situations when either outsourcing billing services or creating an in-house billing department makes more sense for surgery centers.
I'm assuming 747 option is using carry on luggage otherwise at one stage the underlying infrastructure changes to packet transfer by baggage handler which, in my experience, can be an incredibly high latency protocol with a possibility at times of zero error correction.
Facebook Developers: Breaking Changes in Roadmap as of July 5
The following changes went into effect on July 5, 2012:

Removing FB.Canvas.setAutoResize - Originally scheduled for January 1, 2011
We have renamed FB.Canvas.setAutoResize to FB.Canvas.setAutoGrow so that the
method more accurately represents its function. FB.Canvas.setAutoResize will
stop working on July 5th. We will completely delete the function on August 1st.

Event GETs from Graph API/FQL Will Require an Access Token
All calls to get events from the Graph API or FQL will now require an access token to be used.

Removal of FBML
FBML apps will no longer work on Platform. All FBML endpoints will be removed
and the "FBML Removal" migration added June 6th will be removed.
Sure. People want a smartphone that can post on facebook, take pictures, send and receive emails, etc. They also want to play games, maybe use Netflix, etc.

They choose a phone based upon that. Hundreds of millions of people, when given that choice, choose an Android device for a wide variety of reasons. You don't get that, I understand, because you live in a bubble and have no engagement with the real world.

First of all dump it to files instead of DB. (Or use some NoSQL Document Storage, such as MongoDB. The structure of RSS is actually non-relational, I suppose)
Second of all: is your data clean? If not then you might need to clean it from any boilerplate (such as HTML code)
Then you can process it with some tools. There are some good NLP tools available such as Gate. You may have a look at them.
You can do great deal of things there:
- detect some entities (companies? products?) and do some classification of documents
- you can detect some events (iPhone announcements, etc)
- if you have time & date (hope you have) you can do some trending topics analysis (what was hot in June 2010)
- probably you can't sell the data as the content of articles is not yours, but you may sell some derived data (analysis, etc)

Eyup, not sure why this blindingly obvious truth has to be rediscovered once in a while.

This is also how astronomers work, radiotelescopes produce terabytes of data per day (the LCH produces ~15PB/year) so sending that over the wire makes absolutely no sense. Instead, they ship external disks for smaller datasets[0] and for bigger ones some go as far as shipping complete NFS/CIFS servers[1].

Good luck, Lachy! You're a great guy at your 17, and I'm just an incapable trashbag at my 28 being a skilled experienced software engineer, but haven't done a single startup yet because I cannot figure out how to come up with an idea. You're so much better than me, but I'm not jealous, just keep it up, and you'll become a new Zuckerberg in a few years.
I guess that you were right and you do not need to change anything. 220 Mbps is the throughput and not the bandwidth.

Assume a scenario wherein you change the destination to Mumbai. Your throughput will get reduced to 110 Mbps (assuming a 20 hour flight), while the bandwidth will stay the same as the networking medium (airline) has not changed, right?

Couple of other points -

* Two media with same bandwidth can have different throughput depending on the distance (i.e latency) or packet loss or other reasons. Consider two 100 Mbps broadband lines from SFO to London. One goes via the east coast, while other via Asia. Both will have different throughput; difference being roughly proportional to the difference in distances.

* 220 Mbps would imply that a maximum of 220 Mb data can pass through the medium, which is not the case, since we are loading TBs of data on the plane.

* The window size in case of an airplane would be the size of the data loaded on it i.e the size of the movie collection.

OK... but the nice thing about computers and networks is that you don't _necessarily_ have to transfer 1TB globs of data to from SF to London to use it or compute upon it. There are computers in SF too. And of course, if you're talking about media files you can't watch more than one at a time and anyway you don't need "random access" to the media file (you can stream them).
Very nice. But why put something like this on GitHub?!!

"We're not really seeing this efficiency, though. For all the money being funneled into a small set of people, most of whom are not entrepreneurs but well-connected parasites, there's very little coming of value out of it."

Wow, that's such an absurdly broad, unprovable statement. You're talking about millions of people around the planet that qualify as millionaires (most of which are in the developing sections of the Asia Pacific region). So would you care to be very specific when slandering millions of people? Is Larry Page, or Jeff Bezos a parasite? How about Ellison? How about Gates? How about Sheldon Adelson, who built his empire from nothing and employs 40,000 people. How about Steve Jobs, was he a parasite? Who did Larry Ellison steal his wealth from in building the first major relational database company? How about the founders of Twitter, they're scumbag parasites, right? They're worth hundreds of millions. How about the founder of the 99 Cent stores? Was Sam Walton a big evil parasite? And on and on the list goes.

Oh but you didn't mean THOSE rich people. So which very specific ones did you mean? Care to go down the Forbes 400 and name them all? No? Because for every one you can name, I can name ten that are not parasites.

You've probably looked already but I think there is a lot of good advice on enterprise sales on the smart bear blog

http://blog.asmartbear.com/

From what I know (mostly reading rather than personal experience) selling the Small business and selling to enterprise are very different and require different approaches. Ie, SEO and a landing page with pricing and sign up vs. a sales team, no pricing anywhere on your site and long sales cycles. You may need to pick whichever one you think you can be most successful with at first and concentrate on that.
