The growing demand of Android apps 
We are living in the world where Smartphones are dominating the human beings. In other words Smartphones are conquering the world. Rather than the model of the Smartphones people are giving more attention towards the OS in the mobile phones.
Well, this is illegible.

Using async write I/O wouldn't allow them to test the capabilities of the underlying hardware as writes would return immediately.

Also, sixty threads on such a powerful machine is not really a big deal. Even though 0.06ms service time seems small, it is large enough such that you won't have more than a handful of threads competing for CPU resources (they'd waiting for some I/O completion)

Your time spent with a London Escort will take your breath away; a fantastic experience.
Same here; my grandparents died around 95 years old (other two are still alive closing in on 100); they ate butter in the pan with bread an eggs for breakfast, tons of meat, potatoes, frieds, eggs, etc. All fresh from the farm (they made most of what ate themselves). My grandfather smoked heavy tabacco rolled in a sigarette all day through since he was 12 (I have never seen him without a fag in his hand) and started at 11 in the morning with 2 jenevers, at 4 beer and after that red wine. He was always overweight and the doctor kept warning him for it. Has never seen a hospital (and i'm not kidding here) from the inside until the week he died. He died of a family heart disease which was only then caught (but too late) and his son was operated for that immediately as he had the same thing.

And to make the story even more crazy; my grandfather used jigsaw to saw asbestos for all his life, even far after it was forbidden. Real men don't care about that kind of stuff :)

Anecdotal 'evidence' is wonderful he :)

But now we have 2 cases (actually more; my grandfathers brother + sister are the same age and do the same things; no problem); maybe smoking (I know bad_user his grandfather didn't), drinking and eating fat actually prolongs life if you manage not to have stress and eat from the land. Because that's at least one major difference I saw; my grandparents didn't have stress. Things just happened to them and they didn't think twice about it.
Looks awesome. The OpenGL ES 3.0 standard should be announced this summer. WebGL will be upgraded to that, right? (It's now using OpenGL ES 2.0).

Yep, after more than 10 years of eating "healthy whole grains", reduced fat, loads of fruit and veg and doing various different kinds of exercise -- all without seeing huge results -- I, my wife and several friends started eating in a much more primal/paleo style a year ago. All of us have seen major, effortless weight loss, muscle gain and all feel dramatically better. It's a no brainer.

I'm working on a data visualisation app, which is getting a lot of interest from biologists and bioinformaticians. I'd like to learn a bit more about your work. Can I email you somewhere? Or please drop me an email at hrishi@prettygraph.com. Thanks!
Just two wild guesses from my side, as I don't think that the whole database got compromised:

1. Some Accounts got compromised (phishing, trojan, whatever). In those account a list of all referral email-addresses can be seen. Those addresses have been targeted.

2. The Dropbox Application stores information about the email-addresses of people you have a shared folder with somewhere on your machine. This data got accessed by some kind of malware. Maybe this information could also be accessed trough the webinterface of compromised accounts (I am not sure about that).

Even a small-ish number of compromised accounts could lead to many addresses being leaked. I for example have about 15 referals and share folders with about 50 people.
Somehow I find the diet talks on HN really interesting (but to be fair I don't usually read about that kind of things).
I'm not surprised at all. If I recall correctly, there was a link posted a while back about someone breaking some condition in the Google TOS, and thus being locked out of their Google Account, and therefore all their email, documents, and so on.

And that's why I'm trying to make sure I don't become too dependent on any one "cloud" ecosystem.

Then think about the fact that cancer rates are strongly correlated with long lifespans. (It should be obvious why.)
This is obviously off topic, but do you happen to work on a MOBA?
The pragmatic call is, wait until you need to scale, if at all.
I'm still perplexed that Oil companies bother to advertise at all. What's the point? I'd keep a low profile if I were them. People don't really choose where they fill their car on the company do they? It's more dictated by price and whether the station is en route to work.

Good point about Greenpeace keeping the oil companies on their toes. Sad though that it has to be this way.

To me drilling for oil - is almost money for nothing. I'm baffled that these companies aren't behaving more responsibly.
Guess I won't be using SkyDrive then. Not because I store naked pictures (I don't!), but because they shouldn't be looking at what I'm storing on the drive!

This is my private data.
Welcome to the cloud.

If you work or play in space owned by someone else (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, whoever) then you have to realise that they can do almost anything they want.
If this starts happening too regularly then consumers might start to rethink the benefits of cloud-based systems for running large parts of their lives.
I'm jealous of your username.

Anyway, back to the point: so what if they don't? Why are they looking at your private data?!?

There were no "sensitive electronics" in 1957. There were pretty much no electronics at all, particularly not in cameras. The transistor was just invented.
Imagine if Gmail didn't allow you to send "certain" images to someone else.

From the Gmail policies (at https://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/program_policies.h...) :

on that recommendation, i'm getting one :)

Wow, this is insane. Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot here. Guidelines like this are a dealkiller for just about everyone. Even people who have no intention of putting questionable content on their drive will recoil on the mere idea that Microsoft is monitoring their private files.

Big F up, but what's new with MS these days.
So we're probably better off waiting for a 1/4 mile highway contract than trying to build the next Instagram.
Isn't it about time we embraced the semantic web? At least then we'd have an audit trail.
At my former company we had free access to beverages (sodas, water, energy drinks, ... even beer). I gained a lot of weight while working there. After I quit I stopped drinking sodas altogether, while mainly keeping my diet (vegetarian, one "big" meal per day + snacking) and level of physical activity. I lost about 18kg (40 pounds) in about 2 months. Went from 103kg to 85kg. I'm 1.84m so that's an ok weight I guess.

So that worked for me ... drinking water.

How I fix my founder anxiety for failure on a monday morning
A problem that imo doesn't exist. A tablet is different to a phone is different to a desktop computer. This OS may be "solving" some problems, but it seems to be doing it at a cost, reducing functionality on the desktop. Besides, who even /has/ a windows phone or tablet? Who would want one?
There is a trade-off between wanting people to store as many types of file as possible, and not wanting to get associated with some of those files. It would not do for Microsoft to get a reputation as "the company that helps wankers store their porn". Some people would use competitors instead because they object to porn, other people (and businesses) would use competitors so as not to associate themselves with porn either.

Why does this reasoning apply to file lockers but not to e-mail? I have no idea.
And today, I was just thinking about ditching my data plan on my iPhone (or more exactly, getting a MVNO SIM and turning off 3G). And of course, that made me wonder if there was an app for accessing dial-up.

It's not about baby boomers. Corrupt people within the US government are making a large amount of money on this conflict and will work very hard to make sure that revenue stream doesn't close. Why do you think Mary-J was ever banned in the first place? It wasn't like there was a rash of husbands getting high and beating their wives, etc.
I think you're underselling the video. That is a fascinating presentation on aerial mars exploration.
Google uses one generic TOS, I haven't found an Acceptable Use Policy, the TOS doesn't seem to mention it.:

https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/policies/terms/

EDIT: Found it. https://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans...

"Don’t publish sexually explicit images or videos, such as those with nudity or graphic sex acts. Writing about adult topics is permitted as long as they aren't accompanied by sexually explicit images or videos, or any material that promotes or depicts unlawful or inappropriate sexual acts with children or animals. Additionally, we don't allow content that drives traffic to commercial pornography."

------------------------------------------------------------

Dropbox TOS don't seem to specifically mention it, they're Acceptable Use Policy notes that "unlawfully pornographic" and "indecent" material is not allowed:

https://www.dropbox.com/terms

https://www.dropbox.com/acceptable_use

"You agree not to misuse the Dropbox services. For example, you must not, and must not attempt to, use the services to do the following things....publish or share materials that are unlawfully pornographic or indecent, or that advocate bigotry, religious, racial or ethnic hatred;"
"IE10 will be the new minimum for html5" I'm not sure what this means, but it sounds horrible, I understand IE is getting better, but it did the damage in the early years, and it burnt its bridges with so many users and developers. I cannot see this changing while MS still execute "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish".
Hmm, curious. The first guy that contacted Microsoft was told what the problem was, and given an opportunity to fix the problem.

This next guy doesn't seem to have been given an opportunity to fix the problem.

Perhaps just an untrained employee, or lack of a proper procedure in place by Microsoft.

Regardless, the fallout from this is likely to be quite large, as the entire reason for putting your data in the "cloud" is that you trust that you'll be able to access it.
How about you just point out that it the story is anecdotal? There's not any call for telling anyone to "please refrain" from their comments if they aren't abusive.

For the record, I'm not crash hot about this anonymous anecdotal evidence either. I think that eating unhealthily is bad no matter whether you are on a farm or not. But to tell someone to be quiet? That's a losing argument - refute it, don't silence anyone.
This. It's less about scaling a framework, than it is about scaling your particular application.

If you find that MySQL is a bottleneck in particular, Ruby (and by extension Rails) has a wide range of database adapters and database ORM's available. Active Record itself has numerous adapters, which mean changing databases within the supported set shouldn't be too difficult.

Alternatively, you could use a different ORM such as DataMapper or one specific to the database you desire. Rails now let's you choose which ORM you wish to use, although if you're just getting started it might prove an additional learning curve as most of the documentation uses Active Record.
I don't think Marissa Mayer is worried that she might not be, or have been, fairly compensated.
Well Ecstasy as an alternative to alcohol might actually be good for your overall health. I seem to remember that epistemologically it's one of the safest of the recreational drugs; safer than alcohol, tobacco, speed etc.
The example given by the OP was RIM (in a situation where they are losing money) - CEOs received $1.2 million each as a salary until recently, total compensation was $5.1 million in 2011. That seems more than adequate to me for a company bleeding revenue and market share.

My point was that a bonus taken in lieu of salary is no longer a bonus but a wage, and extra rewards should be commensurate with the company's performance, not taken for granted for people at the top, who ultimately should take responsibility for the wellbeing of their company and employees. That means taking a cut in bonuses and perks when the company is doing badly, whether it is their fault or not, just as employees may lose their job, even if they do a good job but the company is struggling.

Painting way too broad a brush stroke. Just because an idiotic corporation has no idea how to administer their cloud products doesn't mean they are all bad. I've been using dropbox for years and I've never heard of anyone anywhere having their account shut down for having a nude photo.

In fact, I know there's tons of pirated content on dropbox because when I add a pirated movie, 9 times out of 10 it get's synced immediately. That means that file exists there already and they can identify it via MD5 hash. They could have banned it based on some sort of blacklist, but they didn't.

Probably because they understand that if they did, they would piss their paying customers off. So why spend effort trying to do that?

Well put.

There will always be some applications (games, compilers, Photoshop, 3D rendering) that will benefit from fine-grained parallelism. For the rest, being able to run your web browser, DVD ripper, music streamer and IDE on four separate cores is good enough.
If that bar of 'acceptable evidence' is set so that those examples can be used to support the theory that "black people are stupider than average", then my examples of poor catholic countries in europe should be acceptable to support the theory that "catholics are stupidier on average".

There used to be a lot of discrimination against people based on religious groups within christianity. But now catholics are considered white.
The most disturbing thing here is that Microsoft are routinely looking at peoples private data to monitor it. Whether this takes the form of an automated program to flag things up, there's still going to be a human arbitrating the final decision.

That's just creepy.
Google drive also includes a link to their Program Policies:
https://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans...

This prohibits publishing "Violence", "Hate speech" and "Sexually explicit material", amongst other things.
I'd guess it was written with more public publishing in mind, so it's not clear whether it's intended to include purely personal content on Google Drive.
On the iPhone it works by opening Mail.app and there you can select the outgoing email address (i've got 4 configured) and i happened to chose the one which has my clearname as for it to be recognized by the people i've sent the invite to.

(probably forgot to mention that i've used the Dropbox app on the iPhone to send out the invites)
Fruit is high in natural sugars, like anything you put in your body over consumption of more than your body needs or can handle will be stored as a fat for later use. The body is good at converting the natural sugars in to glycogen for muscle fuel. The problem is people are not using as much muscle movement (desk jobs - i'm in the same boat during the day, but I make sure I exercise in the evenings)to use up the glycogen to replenish the muscle with the reserve fat stores.
> I can't imagine Firefox OS won't have a cloud component. Already Firefox has a syncing service.

Firefox Sync encrypts the data on the device, so Mozilla can't read your data.
You'll have to wait a couple of days - Firefox 15 is hitting Beta either today or tomorrow, I believe.
I actually edited that in a few minutes ago.

And I was thinking the same thing as I read it, when they say "publish" do they mean make publicly available or store?

I also wonder if the Dropbox AUP just adds "indecent" to the "unlawfully pornographic" statement, or means that they prohibit all indecent exposure.

And that word "publish" shows up again.

The Couch Potato Goes Global
Should legality be a ranking factor?
I don't know; it seems like it might be a fringe enough usage case that it doesn't trigger peoples' outrage. Granted, people don't necessarily think of SkyDrive as a social platform, but with the frequency that embarrassing photos are uploaded to Facebook, you can imagine that there is either an ignorance or a nonchalance toward privacy among the same young people who'd use SkyDrive.

Yes, it's seriously messed up that Microsoft employees are presumably snooping around in your private SkyDrive folders, and it has the potential to really get people to migrate away. But it requires overcoming a huge barrier of apathy, and I'm not sure this has the momentum to do so.
My wife's pregnant, I'm taking lots of 'Whoa, look at that belly' pictures, which are automatically synced with my Dropbox account. Nudity everywhere. ;-)

I expect I'm having nude pictures of my son in about a month and a half.

Ignoring that I just made fun of all these 'nude is evil' rules: Why should Dropbox look at my data, at all? If I ever get a confirmation that they so much as access it for purposes other than backing it up/restoring it or on my direct request (through the client apps/web ui or whatever) I'm going to leave them for good. They provide storage, not more. And storage attributes (bytes stored) is all they should care about.
A Fresh Look at What School Menus Can Be
I don't think a business leader, no matter how charismatic, is the most well suited person to talk about copying, since his business probably holds a lot of patents, which may or may be justified. In this case, the level of absurdity we reached is quite astonishing - the judge pretty much said : yes, Apple owns the black rectangle, but Samsung failed to do a proper black rectangle so they are not infringing.

By any means, this obsessive scorn of copying is something that must be relativised : it only really exists in the western world after the 18th century. Most cultures that exist in other times/spaces tend to see no moral issue in copying, and even dignify it when done properly
I'm guessing the OP was talking about something that would make the internet less anonymous.
There's a post from pg that I wish I could find where he says something along the lines of "the greatest enemy of intelligent discussion is not the outright troll but the witty one-liner". There's no rule against humour that I know of, but there is a culture that believes it's often detrimental to the discussion.
Absolutely. I don't mean to suggest that nobody should ever use cloud services.
But you should be aware that things like this happen, and that there are policies which let them happen.

Dropbox might not be interested in blocking pirated content at the moment, but this could change in the future. Their polices already say that it isn't allowed, so what would you do if all of your pirated movies just disappeared one day?
Like making mixtapes too? Here is one sweet idea
Sounds like Dropbox have the best terms. In particular I like how they allow publishing lawful pornography, while SkyDrive doesn't even allow private nudity! A world of difference!
Damn, I've been using SkyDrive to store OneNote notebooks for easy sharing and editing. Never thought they actually check private folders - yet another reason to never store any sensitive or important information in the cloud...

I'm in the market for a new desktop monitor right now, and I'm finding it really difficult to find a 4:3 aspect ratio at a decent price. I'm not using the computer to watch movies, it's a PC, not a TV, and I value my vertical screen space. It seems the widescreen fad is pushing good old 4:3 out of the market. I'd pick a reconditioned one up, but I want HDMI input, rather than VGA...
This is why I use clients that do client side encryption. The data is encrypted on your local machine; usually compressed and then sent off to the cloud. The key is stored on your machine and there is no easy way for them to see the data you have stored. I used to use Jungledisk but switched to SpiderOak because the Linux client is much better. There really isn't much of a drawback other than you must never forget your password :) if you do you are pretty much out of luck.
