The $20/mo price is kind of misleading since it includes PSTN termination (99% of calls will probably be encrypted from the mobile device to a gateway to call non-users of the application, at least initially). There are not a lot of great SIP clients for iOS which connect to reasonable inbound and outbound termination providers, so for a US user internationally, the "free roaming" aspect will more than save $20/mo.
How many clicks did it require to jailbreak that device once Absinthe came out?

Instead of giving you the real pixels with a DPI setting, they hide them and create the retina/non-retina modes for applications, so you have to pay for "retina-enabled" apps. A whole new way of sucking money out of apple users.
Once you get a client for repeat work they are usually happy to pay a higher rate because they know from working with you once they are pretty much guaranteed good work.

I've had several clients who had bad experiences on elance and other sites (undelivered work, bad developers etc). They decided to give it one more try and hired me. They don't want to risk the bad experience again and are willing to pay more to continue working with me (and we work outside the freelance sites from that stage on). It's an expensive and timely process to find a good developer so once clients find one they like to stick with them.

If I never used these sites I think it would be pretty difficult to ever find clients. Most of my other clients come through recommendations by clients I originally found on elance etc.
What happens if you span the desktop across the internal retina display and an external non-retina display and then move a window so that parts of it are on both displays? Is it just double size on the non-retina (which would be bad)? Or does it get drawn twice, in both resolutions, and each display gets their appropriate resolution (which would be preferable, but might be overly complex and taxing on the hardware)?
Which did make sense when data plans were still unlimited. Of course that stopped when they moved to metered data and now shared data.
Abstract:
Over the last two centuries, technological advantages have allowed some traders to be faster than others. We argue that, contrary to popular perception, speed is not the defining characteristic that sets High Frequency Trading (HFT) apart. HFT is the natural evolution of a new trading paradigm that is characterized by strategic decisions made in a volume-clock metric. Even if the speed advantage disappears, HFT will evolve to continue exploiting Low Frequency Trading’s (LFT) structural weaknesses. However, LFT practitioners are not defenseless against HFT players, and we offer options that can help them survive and adapt to this new environment.
I have my doubts, don't feel this takes proper account of cause->effect vs. relationship. Doesn't go into WHY fathers "choose" to have kids later in life, so things like economics, accumulated wealth providing easier access to healthcare and a lifestyle that supports longer life span. Also the autism bit is as much a function of the mother's age too, so did they compare old guys with young wives autism rates vs. same-aged couples?
Photo Tampering throughout History
While true, to an extent, it's also the case that resolutions other than native will require some kind of supersampling (eg. AA), unless they divide cleanly into native resolution - a problem CRTs never faced.

This results in both blur (ngligible with a high enough resolution, but doesn't seem to be the case here, seeing the Safari vs Chrome comparison) and a performance hit.

Not everything can be gamed to suppress free speech, in particular statutes, the attempt to do so is predictably forbidden. That may or may not be a piece of banal insightful information.

The other technique I can think of is software base (perhaps a hardware serial checker) but even that can easily be cracked.

Are you really saying that people should avoid writing software that could help people who are subject to evil regimes because said evil regime might be upset at them? There's an uncertain level of personal risk associated with doing such things, but there's definite moral hazard in total self-interest.

Either way, if Flame was written by the US or Israel a lot of us on here are already complicit in such a project. We live in a democracy. Those are our tax dollars, hard at work.

OneRead.co #6 - How to Get Shit Done
Learn JavaScript. It's the hottest language for the web right now, and you need it to do anything client side.

Learn PHP. It's the most ubiquitous language on the web, and you will never have trouble finding a library or OSS app that does what you need.

I'm not really sure about Ruby. It's a good language but it doesn't have the traction that it used to (outside of HN of course), and it has a weak reputation.

It never hurts to learn more languages. Learning a language will make you a better programmer in every other language you already know.

The problem is the chilling effect. Who determines what "bullying" is? I've seen some heated discussions online that could be mistaken for something that they're not in more than one instance.

I'm personally of the opinion that "online bullying" is a nonsense phenomenon. How do you deal with a bully online? You access the block function of the medium you're using and block the idiot. Done. You never have to deal with them again.
I can remember my Civ II campaigns in more detail than I can recall about actual historic events.
If you're trying to "hide" something on the web, there's 401 Unauthorized and 404 Not found. If you cannot acknowledge the existence of a resource, either of these status codes would be fine. If, however, you feel the need to correctly communicate that a resource is legally unavailable (whether or not it exists), then 451 is an alternative.

But, no one ever said status codes had to tell the truth.

When the hydrogen is used to generate electricity (very likely in a fuel cell) it's almost certainly going to be converted back to water.

Of course, you're going to have to use electricity to produce the aluminum in the first place (more than you're going to get out after going through multiple conversion steps) but it may still be better than tooling around with a big pressure tank of hydrogen bolted on to your car.
When people suggest Apple has an evil plan to impose the walled garden on our laptops and desktops, and turn all of our computers into appliances, I roll my eyes. But their neglect of the Mac Pro lends those arguments at least a little bit of credence.

On the other hand, despite Apple's huge cash reserves, I'm sure their human capital resources are limited. With iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks as wildly successful as they are (and for good reason, IMO), it would be really, really stupid not to allocate most of their resources to these products, and push for the major updates there.
Xen PV Guest Privilege Escalation (CVE-2012-0217)

To offer a contrasting view, my wife and I switched to Verizon when the 4S debuted last fall so we didn't have a grandfathered plan.

For us, we can get the shared 4GB data plan for the same cost ($150) as we pay now for 2GB/each, except we gain unlimited voice and messages, and we gain mobile hotspots on both devices. Further, since I sit around wifi all day and my wife does not, she can now use "my" 3G data that I never really used before, effectively upgrading her data allowance.

Personally, I think it's a win. Maybe not for everyone in all situations, but we'll be converting our plan on the 28th for sure.
T-Mobile has decent off-contract plans, and in my area they've got good coverage. I think that's the direction I'm going when my Verizon contract is up (2 smartphones + 1 feature phone for the kid).

Why resort to a cheap appeal to emotion right out the gate?

First, I reject the premise of this question, therefore no real answer is possible. There's nothing "cheap" about emotion.

And aren't we getting way too caught up in debating style over substance here? I think my point was pretty clear, personally, and that you're just being intentionally argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. But since you asked, the point is that our government(s) are far too large, bureaucratic, corrupt and evil as it is, and that the continued militarization of local police is an unhealthy step towards more State power... a trend which I've observed growing over my lifetime (38 years so far) and which seems to be continuing unabated, if not gaining steam.

Now, go ahead and accuse me of a "slippery slope fallacy," if you want. But I believe that if the bad guys (and I do consider governments to be the bad guys) have these UAVs flying around spying on (and, more than likely, eventually attacking) us, then we should at least have the capability to respond in kind. Whether or not it's actually time to start doing that is an open question, but we should resist letting the balance of power shift further and further.

None of this, if course, argues against a simultaneous strategy of working to reduce State power by educating people, using the electoral process, etc. But I'd rather hedge my bets...
I really did not feel that. I just graduated in the UK and will move to the Bay area in fall (when H1B starts). All the companies I talked to were totally ok with H1B.

I too noticed the 1984 similarities. One difference is that the world of this Civ II game is the utopia state for the inner party of 1984-- perpetual war that only happens at the borders and doesn't really risk the existence of the 3 superpowers. Such a war keeps the people from acquiring wealth and leisure and justifies a totalitarian government.

> Just look at where US treasuries compared with European bonds to compare which countries/continents are viewed as having less legal risks.

To be fair, you're comparing apples to oranges. Government bond prices reflect the default risk of the government in question. 'Legal risks' include things like getting sued because of perceived defects of your product. Some statistics about that would be interesting, but probably vary greatly by sector: medical devices probably involve lots of ass-covering, whereas something like paper notebooks probably incur fewer lawsuits.
Show HN: Plumbr, Java memory leak detector
I don't think you've thought this through.

The difference between Reddit and FunnyJunk is that FunnyJunk actually hosts the image files on the FunnyJunk server, keeping visitors there.

Reddit does not host anything but text--when you post an "image" to Reddit, you're really just posting a link. This drives the traffic to The Oatmeal (or whoever), who can then monetize it.

Reddit is an example of a web startup doing it right. They drive tons of traffic around the web. Techmeme is another, and so is Hacker News.

Did you even read the article? It was about genetics. This is a scientific study not a sociological study.
I think, on the other hand, that it's a very interesting thought experiment. While the realities of the original question are a bit absurd, the question does give one the opportunity to think about and discuss some interesting legal edge cases (government copyright infringement, and the implication thereof)

Further, it's fun to theorize about possible solutions to OSS licensing issues: Deliver the source via special courier (military strike team); deliver via the same means as the compiled code (a second missile); etc.

June 12, 1897: The Swiss Army Gets Its Own Knife
I'm not super familiar with Pinterest personally, but from what I've read, they drive significant amounts of traffic around the web, particularly to e-commerce. My understanding is that it is like Reddit, but with thumbnails. That seems (to me anyway) on the right side of the line.

Sites like FunnyJunk drive no traffic anywhere. They're built to suck in other people's content and keep all the traffic on the FunnyJunk servers.
requesting info on a real, existing user on illegal-in-USA.ru

-> GET /users/real-user-name HTTP/1.1 Host: illegal-in-USA.ru
<- HTTP/1.1 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

requesting info on a fake, nonexistent user on illegal-in-USA.ru

-> GET /users/no-such-user HTTP/1.1 Host: illegal-in-USA.ru
<- HTTP/1.1 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

If the .ru site sent 404s for nonexistent users and 451s for real ones, you'd be able to gather potentially useful information. It's like if I go to bad-porn.com and type your email into "forgot my password", it should neither confirm nor deny the existence of your account, simply tell me the request was received. In any event if delivery of the requested resource is legally prohibited, why would I go to the trouble to determine whether the resource exists?

A final analogy: 10 year old enters US gas station: "Have you Marlboro 100s, menthol?" gas station attendant (without checking whether or not he has this particular brand/style of cigarette): "get out of here, kid. [HTTP/1.1 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons]."

>> democracy is a less effective system because it's holding back the decision making process... seemingly very little real progress... we have... generally nothing really significant ... to complain about.

This mystifies me: people sometimes talk about legislative gridlock as though it's all bad.

Do you measure the quality of a development team by the number of lines of code they produce? Of course not. The development team does not exist to produce code; it exists to produce and maintain the best possible codebase. Refraining from writing bad code is just as important as writing good code.

You just said your country has very little to complain about. What makes you think that a "productive" legislature would make things better and not worse?

I much prefer a system where any law needs broad consensus and relatively few are passed. Dumb as I often think the U.S. government is, at the end of the day, we have police, roads, schools, etc. Not perfect, but good enough that I can live my life in peace.

Of course, a dictatorship would be extremely efficient: the leader snaps his/her fingers and things happen. The question is: efficient at what?

Certainly there are periods of time when it is possible to jailbreak a device over the internet(!!), times when it is possible locally, and times when it it, for months, not possible at all.

My point (poorly made perhaps) is that I have heard people say, "Oh, don't worry about Apple's walled garden, anyone with technical knowledge can be out of it as soon as they want, with jailbreaking". However, there are clearly long periods of time when that isn't true.
