I've never understood why companies do this. Twitter opened a small office in London and never said where it was.

London is massive, and there are certain areas that tech/digital people want to work in. Covent Garden - probably yes. Shoreditch - yes. I think Twitter ended up somewhere near Blackfriars which is just full of legal suit drones.

If you're opening an office in London, and you've done your research, you need to PR the hell out of the location!

You absolutely should. But it doesn't look like this IS the alternative (at least the viable one).

That said, no one appears to have any other firm ideas about what the viable alternative should look like (only what it shouldn't). And as it's your money and not mine, I say go for it, good luck!
Skimming the discussion, I'm intrigued to see that no one has tackled the elephant in the room.

PG finishes with an honest open question, is Hackernews genuinely contributing to productivity or is it a giant timesink for 99% of it's members.

I'm inclined to agree with the latter.

I completely disagree with the hand gestures. Just having users accept wearing Glass is enough of a challenge without insinuating that the UI will require you to look like you're doing panotomimes in public.

But UX, Project Management, Product Management and etc... yeah not hard at all.
I thought twitter basically ended up moving international head office to Ireland not London so the London office is tiny. Facebook wants developers so has to be a bit more visible, while Twitter was just a sales office. Guessing Facebook will do events there soon.

As for the article, it is just not very thorough. See this comment for location and link to article about it. Its a high budget office. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4289895
Inquisitio interrupta - squashing a MySQL connection-dropping bug
What's the global warming equivalent of "the 9/11 attack allowed a group of right-wing ideologues to rapidly advance an agenda they'd been pushing and planning for years under the (very thin) guise of responding to 9/11"?

Maybe something like "the current global climate change caused by humankind is a convenient backdrop for a variety of eco-warriers to advance non-scientific and innumerate 'solutions' which are more about making people feel bad about themselves than about tackling the actual problems"?

In both cases the loudness of the wackos on both sides has drowned out the moderates and turned it into a political/religous debate.
I haven't tried the GM but on DP4 it felt like the animation takes even longer than on Lion. It moves at the same speed but the 'settling' time when it's slowing down is much, much longer. I'm talking half-a-second-longer longer.
I agree. It was a known weakness in the system that had been discussed before the event. The change would have happened eventually. Breivik speeded the process, because he was such a clear example of someone you don't want back on the streets.
He is the exact opposite of a "hipster". He is a very smart (and in my opinion humble) guy.

Problem: this program isn't for spoiled engineers. Another problem for your non-argument: I'm a former Amazon warehouse associate. Even for warehouse employees, it's not a good deal. Have you read the Amazon warehouse employee blog posts here on HN recently? Education costs the same whether you're an "engineer" or a warehouse worker. As another high-karma commenter (e.g., not you) said about this same subject in another thread:

--most people working in Amazon warehouses are employed by temporary staffing firms, not Amazon

--most people working in Amazon warehouses don't come anywhere near 3 years of tenure before quitting or being fired

--reimbursement is limited to $2,000/year for four years, while $5,000/year is pretty much the minimum direct cost to take such programs

--the program is limited to full-time workers, so only those who can take classes while working full-time and mandatory-or-you-get-fired overtime can partake
The trouble with that approach is that while algoritms aren't great in this area (at the moment), they are at least trustworthy (in that they'll do what you tell them). People on the otherhand are often untrustworthy, and their definition of targeting is often likely to be quite different to yours and mine.
It will be interesting to see how you solve the problem of untrusted users, my feeling is the ideal solution will end up being a combination of humans (users and staff) and algorithms. How to make that scale of Twitter/Facebook will be challenging.
Learn HTML and CSS and use that. If you expect to work with somebody technical, build something technical, and be a technology entrepreneur, get technical.
Good job. My thought is after Facebook came to limelight, most of the icons are made in cyan-blue. No wonder your result, as well as your icon is towards that.
As a still regular game player, I have basically abandoned the android and iTunes stores, when it comes to finding games.

The problem is most games on these systems are terrible, and often either don't have a demo, and want to ckle and dime me to be able to make progress through the game.

On the other hand, while I might not like all the games on the Xbox online store, I find them to be of reasonable quality, have demos, and never require me to pay to make progress through the standard game.

I have found several friends have had a similar experience. Perhaps we are just dinosaurs, but I wonder if games on mobile are going to crash (or have already crashed, how many are selling any kinds of numbers? obviously some do well).

I think the issue is that metaphors work best when they are about real situations. The idea of a metaphor (usually) is to help a person understand one situation by mapping their knowledge of another, more familiar, situation to the first. No one is familiar with the problem of turning hot dogs into caviar, because no one is trying to do it. If anything, the actual problem is more familiar to those on HN than the metaphor.
> solve the hard problems first

I like this bit. Very good advice, no doubt. But what about "no pain, no gain"? Or, conversely, if it doesn't hurt somehow, you can be pretty sure you're not making any progress. It applies to intellectual pursuits like software development as well as high-achievement sports. You don't have to extend the thought very far to come to a similar conclusion, that you're not going to solve hard problems without a bit of suffering. Similarly I don't think Hertzfeld and co. built the Mac by working 35 hour weeks.
Reminds me of my friend not shutting down his NES for over two weeks because his copy of Zelda II had a faulty battery. Even with a working battery the save system kinda sucked.

Agree on the whole, apart from Project Managers - I have worked with some damn good PMs and the difference is noticeable.

Of course not every project needs a PM though.
Our business guy introduced himself at a meetup and said he would get us distribution deals on Wii, Xbox, Playstation, Steam. He had meetings set up with all major players within two weeks. He had equity in our company the next week. We had distribution deals a few months after that.

Your accusation of nepotism is certainly correct, but I don't think that is relevant to the patent suit.
Your comment is no longer grayed because others have upvoted it, likely because politician's comment pointed out that the downvotes were not deserved.
Yes. Because the people who benefit from a "race to the bottom" are the customers. It's a basic tenet of free market capitalism and seems, more or less, to be working.

Why the apple community feels the need to attack the concept of free market competition I have no idea, I think they just like the sound of the phrase, it's certainly become popular recently without any outward sign that most people who use it even know what it means.

Here's some simpler code that computes the same result -- I'm too tired and dumb to work out if it will for any number:

assert 0 <= x
ix = int(x)
yield ix, 1
if x != ix:
for numer, denom in rationalizations(1.0/(x-ix)):
yield denom + ix * numer, numer

import itertools, math
def show(x, n): return list(itertools.islice(rationalizations(x), n))

print show(math.pi, 11)

> The failing here is not that the stock price dropped on results that were worse than the market expected, it's that the market expected too much in the first place, causing the stock to become overvalued.

I don't really see how what I said disagrees with what you said - what I was pointing out was that a stock price falling when the company fails to meet expectations is good and rational behaviour. The problem is the bad analytics that caused the inflated expectations in the first place. Feel free to speculate as to the cause of that as you wish :-).

Springhill CareGroup: Morsi As Democratic
Egypt’s new president Mohamed Morsi is reconsidering the peace agreement with Israel and ties with Iran in an attempt to build a strategic balance in the region. Morsi was quick to announce that all issues will be addressed by governmental bodies as he will not make decisions on his own, according to Springhill Group Home.<p>“Part of my agenda is the development of ties between Iran and Egypt that will create a strategic balance in the region.” Morsi has convened with his advisors to form a new Cabinet prior to his swearing-in on Saturday as the first freely-elected leader.
While I agree with most comments that most of these are unrealistic and gives the impression the artist does not understand the technology. The football idea is actually pretty good, viable and not even too hard to build with current tools. That sounds exactly the kind of use case that should be better exploited with glass apps. Constantly streaming information when you don't want to be distracted by taking your phone off. A phone app to use in a stadium wouldn't be too useful. But on your glass it changes everything. There are many similar situations where there's opportunity for glass apps that didn't have too much appeal on the phone. Developers take note.

No, why would you think that? The warehouses have to be not only where people are, but close to shipping and mail hubs. That means near infrastructure, which means there are plenty of universities and colleges nearby.

I honestly don't know. The first ban, my comments disappeared, but another person was kind enough to let me know it had happened. I could still see my comments, but nobody else could. The person who let me know was in the middle of a thread/conversation with me, had very high karma, took a look at my account and couldn't find any reason for the ban.

I looked for somewhere to ask for clarification on how or why, but there is nowhere to do so. The whole thing happens in secret, with no explanation and no recourse, which is about as antithetical to open and transparent discourse as is possible.

The intent, I believe, is for every person to develop a 'silent policeman' that asks them before every post 'Is this controversial? Is this an unpopular position on this forum? Does this position agree with the position of the owners/moderators of this forum.' In other words, the intent is discourage dissent from the predominant world view.

Well, that's how I see it. When this account gets banned, this comment will disappear as if it never existed, into the 'memory hole', and no one will ever know that someone disagrees. How that encourages rational debate is beyond my comprehension, perhaps I'm just not smart enough to be here.

I've used the Airplay audio out a couple of times with a previous generation Airport Express and an AppleTV 2. It works well but does have very noticeable lag, making it useless for anything but playing music.

When I worked in academic research (NB a long time ago) I worked on pretty large EU funded projects (30 to 40 people, 7 or 8 organisations in multiple countries) and they were a nightmare due to the amount of "management" that comes with projects spending millions or tens of millions.

My feeling was that taking the money (even less money as you wouldn't have the manager/bean-counter overhead) and splitting it amongst a large number of small projects would have been far more productive in terms of actual research output.
Does near religious following of a brand really cloud judgement so badly? Read the links you posted - the first was updated to the manufacturer not Samsung did it and the rest are slathered in cult following.
"The second ban was after a post where I said that Flouride is rat poison. I understand this is controversial, but it is also an indisputable fact. Flouride is used in rat poison."

Maybe you were just being banned for expressing stupid reasoning, to the point where it's probably not just a slip of the brain but something fundamentally wrong with your capability to reason. Take this analogy: "Water is an atomic bomb. It's an indisputable fact, water is used in atomic bombs". See?

Also, it's 'fluoride', not 'flouride'.
Integrating virtual objects into the environment of the wearer is far beyond what Google Glass will be able to do when it gets released.

This kind of AR is not yet a well solved problem for complex images with a static background, and it gets exponentially more difficult with an unpredictably dynamic background.

Not to mention that the display technology that gGlass uses only allows for displaying semi-transparent objects, as I understand it.
That is more or less how UIs using Cocoa/Cocoa Touch are working from a developer standpoint of view. Most standard views/controls have a delegate property which is informed about certain things happening or asked when an important decision has to be made. This works extremely well and by implementing a delegate you get around the problems related to subclassing UI controls/views. Now that Objective-C/C has blocks Apple began to replace (or add) block based "callbacks" which makes life easier in most cases.
Apple has officially, unmistakeably and categorically jumped the shark.

Yeah I don't think he was complaining so much about the icon per say; more that every game developer has to make a save game system that handles corruption rather than calling a save api.

If it was done via an api then the xbox could automatically show the 'saving' icon, delay switch off until the save is complete, and handle corrupt save files with a lot less work per developer...
While watching a football/soccer game, one problem I have is that I can't distinguish the players. I'm not a fan, I just go from time to time as a social thing. But conversations during the game with the people that do watch these sports regularly are problematic :)

The glasses could recognize the players by their number and attach labels to them. Now that's something I'd like.
Also keep in mind that AirPlay mirroring requires at least a Sandybridge CPU, so you need a mac released in 2011 or later.

Firstly.. I doubt anyone saw "Scrolls" and thought "The Elder Scrolls". Hell, when I think "Skyrim" I don't think "The Elder Scrolls."

Patents should protect against idea theft.

I would like Patents to be like math. If you show all your working out you are mostly fine. This way, if you are taken to court you have documentation which shows each step of development that got you from A to B. This would include missteps etc.

This would allow two people who have the same idea to not be infringing a patent.

It would still be for the judge to interpret. It may be the case that person B started work on their product after the release of person A's work. There work may be dubious.

At least this would allow someone to create a similar product via their own initiative without being in breach of patent they were unaware of.
I think it's exactly the opposite. If the story is really true then the psychological effects are enormous. It tells them:

"Look we have everything under control. We can even afford to let you know that. Look, we can make your top secret workstations play music just for fun. Don't mess with us, otherwise we can make even your bombs explode in your own bunkers."

I think if the Iranians are really so stupid to make war with Israel or U.S. (which means WW3) this would lead to their own self destruction.
