Gigahertz quadcores with several gigabytes of RAM is "constrained resources" nowadays? I agree with you though - it's flamebait. But it's also true.
Even if the environment was "truly emulated", there would still be no motion detection, accelerometer, compass, location data or multitouch input.

Nor is it likely for the emulated environment to be able to provide a sufficiently accurate performance analogue to the devices' CPU and GPU.

The simulator is the ideal development environment: stupidly fast, and completely reliable for most day-to-day development tasks. For Apple to provide more accuracy in the simulator would be a waste of their time, when you can just as easily run your app on a device.
In my opinion it's because 1) generally speaking, politics is not considered a good topic on HN, 2) people often bring up the Palestinian-Israeli conflict even when it has little or no relevance to the article in question, 3) it usually comes with an anti-Israeli slant, and often descends to comparisons with the South African apartheid, Nazi Germany, North Korea, etc.

In short, it's rarely relevant and it easily leads to flamewars.

Imagine that every time we had a story about a startup located in the US, someone would mention the large number of black people the US imprisons every year. Or the number of civilian casualties in the Iraq war, which dwarves the total number of casualties in the whole history of Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

college professors want students to show for office hours? if the students read the book, spend 2 hours out of class on the subject for each hour in class, and then complete pre reqs sucessfully before enrolling and taking the class, and pay attention in class and get some questions answered by TA and peer study sessions..then ask real honest questions during lecture....

well from what i have observed, profs would just like to use office hours to prep for next class.

my profs were always really nice when i bothered them, but i always felt they could tell i wasn't trying as hard as i should have been.

sorry for the rant, in general i think profs time is better spent elsewhere

Maybe entrepreneurial success is driven by luck in the same way that home runs in baseball are: Barry Bonds can swing 100 times and not hit a home run, but he's still a way better home run hitter than I am, in that he can hit home runs at all.

This article is kind of like saying that some baseball players overestimate their own skills and underestimate the effects of luck when they hit a home run. But you don't see people writing articles like that because hitting a home run is more obviously difficult than starting a successful company, and you have a lot more data with home runs than you do with companies.

Whenever there's an article like this, it can be tempting to conclude either: 1) "it's just a crapshoot, what's the point of playing the lottery?" 2) "it's just a crapshoot, anyone could have done Facebook." But the fact is luck is involved in everything - so perhaps a better takeaway is: 1) I need more practice and 2) I need more at bats.
Those first few hard steps
You know what I'm talking about.

You're working a mediocre (or worse) job to pay the bills. You get home tired each day, but got to work on that prototype for your business idea and/or side project. If you work a desk job in the day that might mean too many hours needed in front of the computer screen. Maybe a bit too much isolation as well, especially if it consumes your weekends.

Because of time restrictions, it's likely you'll have nothing to show for months. On top of that, we all know that most projects go nowhere, even if they make it to completion.

So how do you do it?

Hi Sean - When you are looking to incorporate from abroad, Delaware seemed the most obvious and had a good ecosystem around it. You can pay the Franchise tax online and pretty much get most of what you want from the State of Delaware online.

This guy needs my 1990's vintage Sanyo microwave with "boomerang turntable", meaning the turntable always stops in the same position. This is done with a micro-switch/cam combination on the shaft.

If you are really impatient, and don't want to wait for the turntable to finish moving, the period of revolution is 12 seconds. Programming in multiples of 12s means the item is ready to remove as soon as the beeper goes off.

> and since you asked, you'll have to endulge the full explanation

That's fine.

And I read your explanation, and while it is coherent, I don't agree with it, and I find it to be fear based, not science based.

Of all pollutions radiation is by far the easiest to detect and track (which is why people hate it so much - it's very easy to find). Other types of pollution are much harder to track, so less is made known about them, and they get less attention - but they cause more damage!

And that's in a nutshell my position: Other pollution is worse. I accept that there will always be some pollution, and I seek the best.

I like that we can find radiation so easily: It means we can clean it when necessary. Other pollutions can't be found so easily, so no one is told when they get exposed to it. Since they are never told, they never worry - but it still causes damage!

I do my best to keep track of other pollutions, I subscribe to air quality alerts. If radiation was released in amounts that cause the exact same damage as the bad air, you could bet people would be screaming. Yet, non-radiation pollutions (mostly) get a pass unless they get really bad.

I tell people that the air quality is bad today and I get mocked, or more often just indifference. Do people not care? I should tell people there is lots of radiation in the air instead..... :)

> At minimum, it always carries a risk of mucking with your DNA or giving you a higher chance of cancer down the road (we have differed on how "horrifying" this prospect is, before).

You misunderstood me. Cancer is bad - my point was that nuclear power is less likely to cause cancer in both, the general public, and the miners. So nuclear power is not horrifying - it's a blessing since it causes less cancer.

Pollution from other energy sources also causes cancer, and causes more of it than nuclear power. Nuclear power gets the headlines, sure, but the day to day poison is everything else.

> Why is it "because of people like [me]"?

When I said "people like" I meant "people opposed to nuclear power", which you are (seem to be), and therefor you are like them.

> Maybe it's time for me to get off your lawn?

If it was just you then fine. But it's a lot more people than just you, and most of them have an even worse fear/knowledge ratio than you, and are impossible to argue with.

I agree with you, the best features of Blackberry were the unlimited plan for cheap money (i remember something like 10-12euro/month here in Italy, while data plan were probably 30-40-50euro/month and in the hundreds of megabytes cap order) for small business man (BIS) and the integration and "power of control" of BES solution for big enterprises.
Now I see it still used almost only in big corps, probably because of this second reason.

I could also add that BIS (at least the version i've tried in italy with TIM and Vodafone, but I think the service should be the same all over the world) is a second level service for mail: we've a vanilla IMAP/SMTP server and BIS polls only the inbox folder (you cant, afaik, see and move into other imap folders) and also save your sent email only if you create a "Sent" folder on the imap box (so it doesnt use the default one that we have on webmail and outlook). My standard Android email app handles this correctly.

Yeah, RIM has the same requirement when you try to view content from their developer conferences (DevCon, Jam, World, etc.). It is an issue that BB developers have clamoured for the removal of too.

However, the actual documentation and tools don't require an account to access. Just conference content.
I agree with almost everything you said, but I take issue with a couple of your examples. First, depending on the cipher suite, SSL can in fact get significant speedups from SIMD. Second, while compression is a pretty serial task, if you compress in blocks, then you can parallelize across those blocks; I know that's not SIMD, but it also doesn't require fancy processor cores to take advantage of the parallelism. A lot of server tasks are similar to that: parallel enough that they could benefit from having a bunch of somewhat wimpy but power-efficient cores thrown at them.

Loose leaf teas are much harder to steep, and if you steep them wrong, you end up with a rancid bitter flavor (for lots of higher quality teas).

To quote a song: "You could not feel sadness if you've never tasted joy" - perhaps, if he's content with his tea bags, we can let him drink his tea bags. Since switching, I can tell you first hand, that I can no longer drink tea bags, or even poorly steeped teas without cringing. I sound like an asshole, I know.

It's not implausible. I used to be skinny like you, everything from getting up in the morning to getting out of the shower (cold) was worse. Standing was harder. For me standing a few hours a day is not about back pain, but for better posture and more energy.
> discussing the potential of pollution

No, the actually of pollution, not the potential.

> coal plants. Where did I say I support those?

You didn't - except that by blocking nuclear power you end up with it by default, so you have to accept that you are implicitly supporting it.

> why is it different for alternative, renewable sources of energy?

Because there aren't any. Sun and wind can do a portion, and I'm glad for it (except photovoltaics).

But what about the rest? There is no renewable source of energy than can do the rest of the job, so we need something, and it's either natural gas, coal, or nuclear.

> Pollution bothers me - there. Radioactive pollution bothers me most.

But why?! Yes, I know the potential is worse. But the actually is better! Why do you look at the potential instead of the actuality?

> sounds very old fashioned and boring

???

> Renewable sources of energy are also just "lying around" ready to be "mined" by us.

But there is not enough of it. Not unless we cover the earth with energy collectors, and I don't want that. I assume you don't either.

> most of it in wind, followed by hydro and your dreaded solar at a distant third place. In any case - I would think that's substantial enough to render your original assertion moot.

It's not moot though. Hydro is maxed out. Wind could probably take a larger share - but then what? What about the final 70%?

The general rule of thumb is 75% of 28-day strength in 7 days. Most concrete mixtures reach their design strength well before 28 days due to the fact that any particular batch of concrete will be mixed such that its 28-day strength is higher than the design strength by a few 10s of %s. This is due to the fact that failing a compressive strength test for any one test or any 3 averaged consecutive tests (guidelines are set forth for failure criteria in ACI) requires remedial action in general.

Selling something in a retail outlet in the US to a person physically there does not qualify as "exporting.". it's a nont-starter.

It is not a salesperson's job to interrogate customers to ensure their intentions are not to export things. That would be stupid.

Because background radiation means we are always exposed to it. So setting a no tolerance policy doesn't make sense.
