That is a fair question -- the neonode phone may count as prior art (although it looks a bit different to Apple's patent claims), but it's not exactly a well known phone. It's very unlikely that people at Apple would have been aware enough of that to make their own implementation 'obvious' based solely on that -- unless it was big in the US but never made it far here? Edit: and two independent implementations (out of the hundreds of phone models) certainly doesn't prove obviousness; that's a nasty insult to the engineers/designers who worked on the neonode and may well have been proud of their innovation.

Still, for all that I love Apple and their products, swipe to unlock is a pitifully small thing to waste a patent on. To my mind, patents are needed but should be:

* non-transferable to a new owner -- no buying and selling, and lost altogether when the owning company is itself acquired.

* only applicable to actual products -- invalid if none of the company's products use it within, say, one or two years of application.

* short term -- two or three years from initial product release ought to be enough, while still allowing some competition down the line.

* very low base cost, but with a small cost per product model and maybe even a tiny cost for each device sold.

Those four changes could probably bring the patent system back to its original intent, in my opinion.

As both a functional and a javascript programmer - I don't see the point of the curry function. I understand currying is great, I even use it a lot, but I don't see the benefit of converting a "normal" function to a curried one.

I mean, when I need currying, I just write my code like that.

Everything else looks pretty awesome!

Have you looked at underscore (http://underscorejs.org/) a lot of the functionality seems to overlap (and it's what I've been using for a long time to make functional javascript a bit more palatable)

Corruption is like an infectious disease. It infects the body from the head to the toes. Corruption is involved in every stage of a person's life. When a person is born, in the hospital bribes need to be doled out to nurses, doctors and staff if appropriate care is expected. In school starting from kindergaden and all through highschool teachers and principles are bribed to ensure good grades are assigned.

Then bribes are given to government officials. Say, if you take a driver's exam (this happened to me) they will fail you on purpose expecting that you will realize that you need to pay them a bribe in order to pass it. It is not that are you good or not, it doesn't matter, because others pay, pay is expected always and those that don't pay get failed until they pay.

There is a price you can pay to get away with murder. There is a price you pay to the court DNA tester to either fabricate or deny a paternity test. There is a price for every single piece of certificate or license issued for conducting a business( and, not surprisingly the number of said certificates and licenses never decreases ).

It is not just bribes. It is also nepotism. There is so much freakin' incompetence because people who are not qualified are put in position just as a result of being related to some higher-up.

This corruption is also transmitted to offspring. Children observe their parents interact with the corrupt system and they learn to do the same, in the process also become corrupt.

To get back to the article. I think a lot of businessmen get locked up because they did not play by the un-official rules and thought, perhaps some thought, they could function like they would do in the West or in America.
Haxe itself is pretty solid and is gaining steam almost every day now.

NME is not as easily recommended. It has very high coverage, and it's shipped a few products as demonstrated in the showcase, but the build process still shows immaturity; the Flash target is wonderfully consistent, but other targets remain pretty fragile. The general trend is "better with time" though.

Yeah, Peter Thiel also thinks college is a waste of time, because you could be working at making a bunch of money instead.

The fact of the matter is, without the continuous research and application of this type of "momentous waste of brain power", we wouldn't have the accessible and affordable technology to enable his wealth and position where people think they should give a shit what he thinks about science.

a) He did not believe Higgs boson exists?

Odd. I usually see the opposite effect. They usually spend a lot more reading and a lot less time coding.

Economic Reformation completely transformed the government, causing it to be a shadow of its former self by killing millions of jobs at government owned companies. The party survived and subsequently thrived. Chinese unification is a centuries-old goal wholly unrelated to economic development.

Your comment reminded me of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4201044 (I posted it after reading your comment), that impishly hints at what you say.
logs and fractional exponents often require deeper analysis. If n=1,000,000 then log n = 6, so n log n would actually be faster than 7n on that size data set.

Certain special cases also require further analysis. Some algorithms run extremely fast, or extremely slow, on specific types of data. For example, with data that's expected to be nearly sorted, some sorting algorithms will run faster than expected while others can choke.

Operations that run at very different speeds also require deeper analysis (or testing). If an algorithm requires O(n) disk reads, O(n^2) memory allocation, and O(n^4) calculations, it's possible for any one of those factors to dominate on real-life data sets.
The movie is produced by Sony, not Marvel right? So that explains all the Sony tie ins, and I'm sure they cut deals with a bunch of third parties.

I really hope Marvel is able to get the rights to Spider Man back from Sony someday; they could do some cool universe cross overs (Spider man joins the Avengers, yah!). They also don't have control over X-men (Fox).

Simple solution to this redrawing issue is global flag signifying whether refresh is needed that is cleared in the frame loop after all gui calls. Also complete redraw on every frame is how most game UIs work anyway and it's not significant performance issue today (it was an issue 15 years ago when I wrote several immediate UI libraries for DOS, although performance issue there had more to do with overhead of synchronizing redraws with mouse driver than graphics performance itself).

The main problem with this approach is that you essentially end up doing one large busyloop across many irrelevant parts of code. This implementation seems to solve this by blocking at the end of each iteration waiting for any event to occur, but probably still wastes CPU time significantly.

Connecting to the router over the Internet and waking (WoL) up a computer behind it to pull some data is a neat trick, though today with cloud storage (Dropbox&co) there is no need for it. The only viable use for remote management is taking care of someone else's network but even that is usually unnecessary because network configuration only needs to be done once.

It's yet one more reason to run software you can truly control if only possible:

Patent lawyers everywhere are laughing all the way to the bank. This is a phenomenal time for them to cash in on the dozens of giant lawsuits that are happening every single day. The customers are enormous and willing to pay however much it takes to make sure that their billion dollar investments are not removed from the market. What's a few hundred million dollars compared to the kind of money that Apple is reaping from their devices? Fortunes are being made as we speak.

These folks have a lot to gain from the patent system not changing. I'm going to guess that their spin will be "defending America's ingenuity" and "letting creators benefit from the fruits of their labor".
I'm with you on the currying thing. The ability to curry functions doesn't enable you to do anything you couldn't already do better and with more flexibility by writing the full anonymous function.

Let's say I own a business importing widgets. If there's inflation of 2%, the stock I hold just became 2% more valuable. If there's deflation of 2%, the stock I hold just became 2% less valuable.

In other words, in a deflationary economy there's less incentive to invest in productive activity and more incentive to stash cash under the mattress.

And it's not just held stock that works this way - it's also capital investments like that new more efficient widget-making machine.
Gutted. I was there on the Friday, but not the Saturday (which is when the exciting stuff was). The BrewDog talk was best!
It's actually worse. There are no rules that would prevent that from happening. If you have money, you are a target for criminals, and bigger organized crime syndicate is the security services themselves. If you're lucky, you lose some money, if you're less lucky - you can lose everything, including your freedom. Since judicial system and law enforcement as a rule do not protect potential targets from attacks, but rather facilitate and sometimes initiate them - there's nothing to prevent that from happening. You can bribe someone, of course, if you have money - but somebody else can pay more, or threaten, or the bribed official may decide to take the money, but do nothing to help you. What you're gonna do, sue him?
Another part of it is that the laws are purposely built in a way to ensure it's impossible to not have some problems with them. This way, of course, the officials can solicit more bribes - but also more people would be imprisoned because there's always something he can be accused of. Or, as famous Russian saying goes, if there's a man, there's always a criminal code article for him.

Communism as we know it? Yes. Communism as Marx envisioned it? No.

It's all just semantics really:

2) China's 'communist' regime is called the "People's Republic of China."

3) Burma is now called "Republic of the Union of Myanmar" after a military coup.

4) China and the former USSR are both referred to as "Communist," but the governmental structures seem vastly different.

5) The Khmer Rouge were known as the 'Communist Party of Kampuchea,' but referred to their country as 'Democratic Kampuchea' even though they implemented forced relocation and confiscation of private property.

To get back to the article. I think a lot of businessmen get locked up because they did not play by the un-official rules and thought, perhaps some thought, they could function like they would do in the West or in America.

Whilst the situation in Russia is undoubtedly horrific, let's not pretend that corruption isn't endemic in the rest of the world; some counties have just legalized it to some extent.

Crony capitalism is criticised but rarely has action taken against it, and political campaign donations are seen as being perfectly acceptable. It doesn't appear to matter whether it's giving money to US senators, or joining "donor's clubs" that guarantee access to the UK's prime minister, e.g.:

The Enjoyment of Yunnan Tea----The hometown of Chinese black tea and Pu-erh tea
Tea-producing area in the Southwest of China

As the hometown of tea, china has a long history of planting tea trees and has a wide distribution of producing tea. According to regional climate, social economic and tea-drinking tradition, tea producing area can be divided into four parts: the South of China, the Southwest of China, the South of the Yangtze, and the North of the Yangtze.

The Southwest tea-producing area is the oldest one, including the north-central part of Yunnan, the southeast part of Tibet, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing.

Thanks, You make me feel better for my country. Even when there is a lot of corruption in Argentina, luckily we are not at that level yet.

I mean, yes... some things are common: police taking money from prostitution and even from drug dealers in some places, Union leaders getting rich and powerful by using union's money as if it was of their own, politicians contracting companies owned by friends or family members while public prosecutors and judges turning a blind eye... and so on...

But taking money to put innocent people in jail? Maybe there's hope yet...

But then, somebody else coming from a different country would read my message and would also say: Wow!

Surely, that's an advantage of having a highly banked system as in some places of Europe and the US. I think that most of this "low level corruption" problems would be solved if people used less cash. I don't know in Russia, but here, most of the transactions are made in cash. Even when buying a house, most people go to make the transaction carrying USD 150,000/250,000 in cash. People do not trust in banks (mainly after the 2001 crisis), and lots of people have safe deposit boxes instead of savings accounts, just to avoid the government from knowing how much money they have (tax evasion).
But, if people used less and less cash, it would be harder to have these kind of corruption in lower levels, simply because of money laundry's complexity for most people would be just too much, or too risky.
