The `_enableRemoteInspector` is a private method to the private class `WebView`. If you use `UIWebView` it will cause runtime exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+[UIWebView _enableRemoteInspector]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x6df1ec'

If Automatic reference counting (ARC) feature was enabled, the compiler would raise an error for the code `[NSClassFromString(@"WebView") _enableRemoteInspector];` : "No known class method for selector '_enableRemoteInspector.'"

What narcissistic "pickup artists" effectively say is that women also know if a guy is interested in a long-term relationship or a short term one, and will avoid guys who seem too clingy. Asking for a long term relationship is a bad idea, because it's asking for too much, too early.

This is correct in abstract, but not in real terms. I don't think Linus sayings have any significant effect on NVidia's bottom line (if they have any effect at all).

It's not like more than 0.01% potential buyers will read this Linus quote and choose a competing product. Especially if NVidia's product is the best for their use case in the first place.

Judging an App by its Cover - Techniques for Creating & Testing a Pro App Icon
It seems to me that algorithms for identifying similar sounds would be likely to find an lot of pretty generic noises similar to a sample of wind -- other wind, distant traffic, etc etc.

As such, BFM giving such a sample to Youtube's automated infringement detector strikes me as copyright trolling -- it's inevitably gonna get lots of false positives, and they get to make a bit of money off each before the YT appeals process works itself out.

For one, they don't even seem bothered enough to correct the "cache expired" continuation crap on the site, much less to build a new moderation system.

Second, if "poor members" get invited in large numbers, then the system you propose will fail, because they get to dictate what is good or not (by upvoting it), which will in term make them appear good (because they like/submit the 'good stuff').
There's an old study claiming there's actually some logic in how the distinctions progress:

"According to Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's 1969 study Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution, distinct terms for brown, purple, pink, orange and grey will not emerge in a language until the language has made a distinction between green and blue. In their account of the development of color terms the first terms to emerge are those for white/black (or light/dark), red and green/yellow."

personally the idea of a slow web resonates with my view that anything important needs to be given time to simmer. Even in the work I do and decisions I need to make, if time allows I like to literally sleep on it rather than shoot back a reply as soon as I see a message.

Having something in the back of your mind can result in surprisingly efficient solutions, while you carry on implementing the last good thought you had.

So just infer the method name at runtime.

The static analyzer could alert a human of a dynamic performSelector call but they're still a myriad of ways to get around that as well. With just a tiny bit of obfuscation any human is simply going to dismiss analyzing the disassembly to figure out what's going on since performSelector is a valid API call. They can't remove you from being able to do things at runtime either or make only make static calls to objc_message.

Literally the only technical solution would be for them to run the app through some sort of dynamic analyze,r where it runs the code and figures out everything that's going on. There are obvious issues with such a system though even theoretically.

For example, let's say you have a variable x which has a value determined at runtime:

x = figureOutXBasedOnSomeRuntimeStuff()

if (x) {
InferPrivateMethodNameAndPerform()
} else {
DoSomethingElse()
}

The analyzer has to traverse all paths to actually know if a private method is being called but it can't just run the code once with x as true, and once with x as false. It's a dynamic environment so those actions may have radically different actions based on other variables or the user's preferences at runtime, etc. And if it simply runs the app then many code paths get missed. Maybe in the distant future the analyzer could actually play around with your app enough and possibly go through every code path that way. But by simply having it tied to a page on the Internet, you can just wait till its approved and then enable it.

So one obvious conclusion might be to have a human disassemble the app and figure out what's going on. But that's simply not economically feasible and even experienced security analysts can have a hard time figuring out what code is doing, even if you have the source code.

It's more likely overtime they will dull the sharp edges of objective c, especially for iOS. At which point the entire SDK will be structured in such a way as to not allow you to do things you aren't supposed to. But they can't prevent you from ripping llvm off of opensource.apple.com and compiling without the restrictions. In terms of a technical solution, it itself is not economically feasible. Definitely easier to just ban infringing people when they get caught, old fashioned way.

In summary it's more likely that they just don't care. Apple knows being on the app store is more valuable then using the minus button illegally (hah camera+). So they simply won't do anything about it, you can slip your app onto the app store taking full advantage of the private APIs with a bit of obfuscation and they'll most likely just let it through. They are smart enough to know realistically their efforts to enforce this rule is futile, so they probably just don't care and will simply ban you from the store (unless your app is making shit tons of money, then they'll just tell you to fix it).

I don't recommend it either but from a technical standpoint it's a very interesting puzzle of sorts.
This is a great idea and I'll have to check it out. I built a project in ember.js a couple of months ago and spent a ton of time just trying to figure it out.

I've recently switched to knockout.js because, despite being uglier, it helps me get things done a lot faster than ember...hopefully this little package will clarify some things for me because I really liked 80% of Ember.
You're absolutely right on both counts, and thanks for the comment.

To respond a little - I was trying to use "innately get depressed when not exposed to sunlight" as an example of something well researched showing that light affects people physically in ways that are not just 'seeing shape and contrast' (which sillysaurus' post seemed to be stating was the be-all and end-all of colour and vision).

Its a slightly different point to 'enjoying colour differences', which of course we do. Compare a sunset in real life (even behind a window) with that in a photo - for instance....

Oops ... the chance of my kids finding HN is pretty remote! I'd better go post this on Youtube.
Ask HN: Pricing plans with hosted applications
Currently I'm building a service that allows people to easily create their own website. The website will be pre-filled with content. The only thing the customer has to do is market their site. All sites will have the same subject, but can't get into detail on this.

While developing I had a lot of thinking about the pricing plans, but that's where I get some doubts. How do you define a good pricing strategy?

I want webmasters that enroll for a plan don't have to worry about scalability and server infrastructure. If they pay the price they now their good.

Now that's where to problem shows up. There will be sites that have low visitors amount ,but on the other hand there will also be sites with a huge amount of visitors (talking about close to a million).

When thinking about pricing plans you have to think about costs, profits etc. But how do you calculate things like traffic when you don't know how much traffic a site would use? Because the sites are hosted and developed in house, we know that like one visitor takes up close to 1MB/Bandwidth.

I would create my pricing plans based on features the website supports, but not on traffic. I'm wondering if it is possible to have a fixed price for this and still make profits?

The reason why I don't want traffic etc in the pricing plan description? Because I want high level users that don't have a clue what 10GB of traffic means to be customers as well.

Please share your 2cents on the problem. What would you do? Any tips / articles are welcome!

Thanks!
> They making a explicit decision to reap a larger payday by selling the exploits to governments or other companies rather than disclosing it to the original application authors for the standard bug reward.

I don't know you but I get the impression that you've never gone through the bug reporting process from a bug hunter's perspective. Some places do offer bug bounties, and of course you have the usual ZDI, pwn2own etc. that you can go through, but from my own personal experience I've been ignored, threatened with legal action and dragged into a quagmire of free IT support because the manager handling the bug won't let me speak to a developer and doesn't understand the bug amongst other things.

On the other hand, finding a bug isn't hard, but developing a reliable weaponised exploit that works repeatably against multiple targets can be a heck of a lot more work.

My own personal view when it comes to disclosure is 'finders keepers'. It's my bug, I found it. It's not worth my time weaponising it to sell on the black market and it's too high risk for me personally to be associated as being active in it, it's only worth weaponising to the point where I can use it in future on pentests and help customers implement workarounds.

> The sellers are willing to inflict damage on everyone else so they can benefit. That sounds like leeching to me.

I'd like to add an example from the old days: "Ralf Brown's Interrupt List" [link]. It's a list of interrupts used by various software packages with documented weaknesses (typically register range checks). Whenever I'd write an ISR I'd check the list to avoid collisions with other software. Others would use it for writing exploits, the list contains a plethora of attack vectors.

One thing to note here is that there are fairly significant differences in law between states. Especially employment and corporations laws (e.g. why lots of companies are Delaware corps)

While these might provide a good basis to start conversations I would still have a lawyer that is licensed to practice in the state in question and also specializes in the area of expertise in question review them before anyone executes them. I have spent a lot of money on lawyers in my life but I can tell you I actually have realized more gain back when things went wrong and my contracts were there to protect me.

Nobody reads the contracts until something goes wrong! Do you really want to fight about millions of dollars with someone on your team when you get bought because you didn't spend $2,500 getting a contract reviewed?
Google Maps is one of my most used applications. Especially, in Tokyo, it is a lifesaver for finding routes or train times using the train system or by foot. The maps are excellent.

This sounds similar to spaced repetition, which is a practice of revisiting memorization of facts with increasing intervals instead of over-drilling with repetition. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition for the theory, and http://memrise.com for the practice.)

I respect the idea of trying to offset our common diet of interactive and distracting social media and news trolling. But in the context of a "To Do" list, I prefer the immediacy of something like Trello -- an endorphine fueled feedback loop encouraging people to get things done seems more practical for me.

I'm not part of the 4chan nor suicidegirls communities, and the meta in wikipedia is not forum-style moderation. The places I've been that have moderation issues don't have people wondering why they've been hit. I'm not saying that other forums don't have issues, but that there is a constant sussurus about the problems of moderation here that I don't have in other places. No insight and no accountability = bad moderation practices.

Case in point: my parent comment is currently downmodded. Thanks to that downmodder for marking against my personal experience. But I have no way to find out why I've been affected, only that some random person somewhere in the world doesn't like what I said for some unknown reason, and my words are literally diminished in the eyes of others because I have (at least) one single dissenter.

Since I started here, I've noticed that people on HN have been complaining about the moderation more consistently than on any other web community I've been involved with, with the exception of Wikipedia (as you point out, but it's not the same flavour of moderation I mean)
How vulnerable are Google's self-driving cars to GPS jamming?
You can still drive the car? Also, google has wifi methods of knowing where the car is and they still have computer vision. I think what you would want to do is jam all the frequencies that the google car receives. A better question is how could you try to make the system drive somewhere that you want to.
I saw the link ... and wouldn't waste my money since my cars don't have trackers (three are 1971 models that barely have an electric system). What I meant was that I could understand why people would want one of these devices.

Perhaps I've been warped by machine learning but it seems obvious to me that labeled color differences would be easier to distinguish. Since each time we used the word we would be training our brain to discriminate between color input patterns whose differences are not stark. Colors with no labels would not get many opportunities to be learned, but for the called out colors, on each use it would strengthen the connections between which ever set of associated neurons.

Language is not the only thing to train this difference. Hobbies and jobs should be able to as well. I suspect artists and photographers perceive subtle color gradations better than non artists; audiophiles, dancers, and musicians can pick out tempo and pitch much more readily, blind people can pick out echo patterns, engineers perceive catastrophic corner cases where normal people see an idea and a botanist sees a whole world where I just see grass and trees.
