Right, but that's pretty much true of industry as well. I just don't see any examples of major scientific breakthroughs coming from industry that aren't equally coming from universities.
It's a bit about luck I guess. I got 94 on the Coca Cola one, and in the end my average was 40%.

So women who are classified as "Software Developers" on average make 86 cents for every dollar their male peers make, and women classified as "Programmers" on average make 93 cents on every dollar their male peers make.

This is a call to employers who employ programmers or software developers to publish statistics showing they do pay men and women equally. It is a great opportunity to show your company as a good, honest place to work.
Welcome to the club of end-of-life Apple device owners. The 15 million or so first-gen iPad owners will also be joining us in October, when Apple tries to force everyone to buy yet another iPad by releasing iOS6 and dropping support for the first one 18 months after they stopped selling it. There is no technical reason: the 4th-gen iPod Touch is supported and has almost identical specs. The 3rd gen iPod Touch is also being dropped despite being almost completely identical to the iPhone 3GS, which does get iOS6.

For a company that keeps boasting about its green credentials, they do generate an awful lot of waste.

(not to mention the extra work for app developers, who can either drop 15 million users's worth of adressible market, or make use of iOS6 features - the most attractive of which, such as autolayout, have no sensible fallback)
Yes, because we all know that money is the only obstacle to creating a product. You definitely don't need a lot of uber-talented employees focused in certain areas or anything.
There are plenty of buildings which aren't historic and/or really could be torn down regardless.

I suspect the next major quake (long overdue) will sort much of this out anyhow.

Once those things come true, stories like http://www.stewwebb.com/GOP_using_Echelon_software_to_spy_on... no longer seem so loony after all.
Not just MS research. IIRR if you had something you thought was patentable you handed it off to them, and they did the leg work so you didn't become 'tainted' by looking at patents. Very weird.
Your example is very apt. Isn't it great that you can't patent mathematics? Software and hardware should not be patentable like it currently is.

Sorry, but since I can remember, (20 years ago say), the idea of a touchscreen tablet/smartphone was obvious. It was absolutely inevitable, and it was boring waiting for the technology to appear to allow it to happen. Absolutely nothing on any smartphone, tablet, etc is innovative to the point where a patent should be granted.
A google product with a great support experience? This I gotta see.
There are lots of libertarians on HN. As a liberal, the impression I personally get is that I'm outnumbered by them.

I think these impressions come in part from which threads you choose to join. If you restricted yourself to threads about Airbnb and Uber, you'd be forgiven for assuming that this was a Cato board.
With business, if you don't innovate, you die. University research is usually grant-driven. Grants are the result of filling in the right answers and telling a committee what they'd like to hear. There's much more urgency to be constantly innovating in business.
Two enormous successes of academia are mapping the human genome and finding the higgs boson. Both were hugely speculative the time the projects were undertaken. If there's something comparable coming out of industry, I don't know about it.

Those things tend to have bulky external power supplies that transform 120 volts into 20. 'whatever they use' is already 20 volts, with minimal internal components to get any other levels. You'd be able to eliminate a lot of awkward transformers.

It's probably not worth wiring a whole house with fat wires but in theory having nice safe universal plugs without dealing with external transformers would be nice.

I'm sure if someone wanted to design a supply that's efficient at different currents they could. Worst case would be 2-3 different supplies glued together with a management chip.
Another thought is that padmapper is not /copying/ the data - They are summarizing it.

So there could be a entire listing for a SF apartment with lots of details and padmapper would not copy any of it- instead they would just make notes - 3 bedroom, location, price, pictures and then link back to CL if someone clicks the listing on PM

Mehndi or Henna Designs
People have been applying mehndi or henna as a tradition in many countries both in Asia and in Africa. However besides being considered more of a tradition, nowadays it is applied more because it is so beautiful, painless and easy to apply.
Hey I've done similar games! check http://color.method.ac. You need to convert hex to CIELab, and then apply a color difference formula http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference

Don't let the complex versions put you down, the simplest formula is good enough, just Math.sqrt( Math.pow(L1-L2, 2) + Math.pow(a1-a2, 2) + Math.pow(b1-b2, 2) ).
Lots of people don't get to work on cool stuff at work, but they get paid and work in a convenient place for their life situation.

A lot of people have energy to give to open source because they get something out of it that's not money. Most people who play sports are not paid, or do art, dance, blog or lots of things really.

If you don't want to work for free, don't, I'm sure someone else who's bored or wants to sharpen their skills will step and fill the void you left.
Perhaps there will be some way to re-enable 32-bit drivers support in the darwin source code. All it takes is an angry hacker with old hardware.
If you are currently at roughly 0 active users, I would not worry about how much 500k active users cost.

That said, I think something about your cost estimate is way off. It should not cost $75k/mo to host 500k active users. My guess is that either:

1) Your use case analysis is on the high side
2) You are using parse incorrectly
3) Parse is a bad fit for your application

You can rent 100s of servers from aws for $75k/mo. That should be way overkill to handle 500k active users.
There's quite a ton of different android smartphones, which all look and function basically the same - same with tablets.

They're likely all made by the same few factories in China for a few dollars each.
Encouraging Programmers to Learn Visual Design
>The breach of contract claims may be stronger though. The pages on the Google cache presumably still contain the ToS

Would this work? Can a phonebook just put a section at the beginning of this page that by reading this book you are agreeing to the ToS which state you can't copy it?

I know most ToS contain a section about by using this service you are agreeing to the ToS.

But I think there is a good argument that Padmapper isn't actual using the service since they aren't getting the information from Craigslist's servers.

Am I using a service, and thus bound by contract if I look at a screengrab of a website on a third party website (that contains a ToS).

I've said before though that Craigslist could invent fictitious entries, and sue Padmapper for copying those creative works, just like mapmakers do with fake towns.
In the case of Moonwalking with Einstein over 70% of critics gave it a positive.

Actually, that's exactly the purpose of patents.

From the US constitution, section 8:

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited
Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings
and Discoveries;

Note how it doesn't say anything about "intellectual property" or "theft" or "moral rights", or even third parties. I'm not in favor of abolition of copyright, patents and trademarks, but this is exactly the kind of muddled, framing[1] language that the blog post linked to is trying to correct.

The laws have been pushed so far in the direction of "protecting" intellectual "property", and language has become so twisted by those who have the most to gain from the results that you can argue it's how things stand today, but it obviously wasn't the original intent, and it doesn't necessarily make it right. It's also not necessarily good economic policy (you want to see startups killed off in this country? Just continue to let copyright, patent and trademark law continue to expand).

Gold evening clutch
Gold accessories, like those of silver items and colorful handbags, gold color in ornaments especially in clutch bags nowadays is considered the must having object for any party outfit or wedding apparel. You can easily find accessories in many unbeaten designs but that would a little bit difficult for you to find a gold clutch purse or a gold evening clutch that can go with your party apparel.
Is this the future of collaborative code development?
This looks great!! Can't wait to see it develop further. No doubt it will go far. Good luck and keep it up.
Great that this now free for small projects. I've been pondering two questions about Datomic: (1) immutable data is great, but what if we have to delete some past data, for privacy or regulatory reasons? Does this screw everything up? (2) can we modify values as-at past points in time? Example, an electricity company records usage monthly for customers, but sometimes past usage is incorrect and needs to be edited. What would be the best way to structure this to get the "updated" view as-of six months ago? And also the "original" view as-of six months ago?
Silver clutches
Probably the most popular way silver handbags are used are as silver crystal bags. Silver clutches can be both chic and stylish especially if worn with the right outfit on an evening out.
Oh, I've owned some Macs whose graphics cards were definitely not up to running the OS that they were running. Turning off the genie effect because it skipped frames? Yep.
The key point is that the TOS says that you grant Craigslist the right to redistribute your listing where ever they see fit, it doesn't say some third party entity has the right to do that.
There is only one guaranteed solution to the problem of government wiretapping, and that is the concept of "privacy by design".
Is It Mission-Critical? The One Question That’ll Help You Ship Sooner
You know what I like about books? They're printed using black ink on white pages. I have to believe that other readers prefer this high contrast approach or we'd see more variations after centuries of printing. Do your visitors a favor and use black text for your main content. The light grey on white surrounded by light grey makes me reach for my glasses, then I realize I'm already wearing them.

Other than that, I really like the site and added it to my bookmarks. I would like to see the number of reviews without having to hover over the cover, though. It helps put the score in perspective.
It depends; If you are trying to start a new industry, you'd like your competitors more, because they validate the market. My university lecturer told me in the 90's (or 80's) he was starting a bottled water company; Back then no one drinks bottled water. Every month or so the half dozen bottle water company startups in Australia have a meet up; and they were all friends.

Hmm, sounds familiar...

Rightshaven (copyright troll) was granted the same right by the copyright holders they represent, yet the judge ruled they didn't have standing to sue on the copyright holder's behalf.
We went back and forth on naming the machine types. I'm sure you can imagine those discussions. In the end we opted for naming them based on the number of virtual CPUs from inside the VM. This is easier to remember than arbitrary sizes (small, medium, large) and is always going to be an integer. Hopefully this naming scheme can hold up and make sense over time as new machine types are introduced.
That should be the case but it is not primarily for 2 rather related reasons: tenure & funding.

Everything you do as university research is towards the aim of getting publications to progress either you or your adviser towards tenure. The problem is that things that don't work are not usually publishable. This leads to 'fluffing' up results (read enough academic papers and you'll find some hilarity there) and avoiding anything that might not pan out.

Just as important is funding, even a small lab with a few computers and one or two grad students needs funding. And in CS that largely means DARPA or a handful of other government agencies. If your particular research interest involves eventually killing someone, you'll do fantastic. There are of course other sources of funding but they typically have much smaller wallets, especially the further you go on the 'for the good of humanity' scale.

I've seen countless times were grad students are doing something really interesting, but because it's not going to help anyone get tenure and not going to bring in any funding, these students are strongly encourage to 'get back on track'.
I think Joel is trolling to be honest.

I'm pretty sure SQL will be added to datomic over Rich Hickey's dead body, and that's a good thing IMO.

There are already enough SQL databases in the world. rhickey isn't looking to make a 'me too' database, he's interested in improving the state of software development.

SQL is a terrible language and needs to die. It's fine that we disagree, but don't tell the people who are convinced it's a bad idea that they need to 'join' the mainstream.
> Personally I think it is an excuse to get people to upgrade. I see absolutely nothing that would require a crazy new video card. (I've been running ML for months)

The 32-bit Kernel no longer exists/is no longer maintained/was not upgraded for Mountain Lion.

The unsupported models have video cards that do not have 64-bit graphics drivers available for them.

The 64-bit Mountain Lion kernel is incapable of loading the old 32-bit graphics drivers for these cards.

Thus these video cards are literally incapable of supporting Mountain Lion.
I don't know that this is universally the case. Two of my clients pay all my invoices the next day.
That was actually one of the questions asked during the "Meet the Go team" talk at Google I/O. They joke around for a bit, but they end up giving some solid arguments.

Exactly, they've pretty much run every newspaper classified out of business. Consumers have no choice but to do business with craigslist if they want to list something in a classified.

355/113 is actually [3,7,15,1]. The reason it's particularly good compared to its length is because it falls right before the 292 term (since 1/292 is a much smaller contribution than 1/1).
When I had to stop taking courses was about a year after I had saved up enough money that savings + GI Bill + financial aid would cover tuition, books and living expenses. There was a paperwork screwup on my financial aid that meant I couldn't pay tuition which meant I couldn't get the GI Bill payments which meant I couldn't cover rent which meant I had to get a job. The end result being I never had a need to go back to school.

while their amount per year is low, for low to middle income earners, it's enough to be the difference between not having the option and cutting back a bit to be able to go to school. Sure, there's no way to have it pay for a state or ivy league school, but if your only skill is low-level employee in a warehouse, working towards an associates degree or taking management courses can greatly improve your station.
I couldn't really think of it, but ended up going with yellow.
Another example: if an “identity thief” appropriates your personal information, you’re still the same person—your identity wasn’t stolen, it was infringed.

Just to go off on a tangent for a moment, this is another reframing of a crime that bothers me. There were already laws on the books against "identity theft" long before it happened: it's called fraud. So why does identity theft exist? Because banks and creditors and government agencies are constantly trying to reduce cost, they don't want to have to track down the person who defrauded them, that costs money. Instead, they put the burden of proof on you, and now it's your mess to clean up.

It was one of several questions - sorry I tend to do that

if it is not net present valued then surely the calculations are off - won't that push the ownership beats renting even further out in time?

Also I did not see if it was interest only vs repayment (one of the biggest issues IMO)
Yes, I think you misunderstood. You are thinking of overriding methods, which is very important. Operator overloading is where you redefine the behavior of a "+" symbol, for example.

There's nothing to re-enable. The 64-bit Kernel has only ever been able to load 64-bit drivers. To use 32-bit drivers, you had to be running the 32-bit Kernel.

So to enable these machines to run Mountain Lion, the enterprising dev would have to backport all of the changes from the 64-bit-only Mountain Lion Kernel to the unmaintained 32-bit Lion Kernel.
Unless I misunderstand, this is talking about OAuth, not OAuth 2. While the latter does have a lot of versions, I believe the former is "finalized."
Not sure I would call that ingenious. But your point is sorely need of being made more often.

How many other websites use arguments like "bandwidth" to falsely portray competitors who access their publicly shared data as somehow in the wrong?

Many. Some here on HN. No need to name names.

No doubt even Google would complain about people "scraping" search results.

To me, it is a joke. Because the people who complain use automation to access, retrieve, organise and serve information and thereby establish their business. Only then to try to forbid others from using automation to do the same.

And all the while, it's NOT THEIR INFORMATION. This is not Craigslist's data. It's users' data.

It belongs to users, who are today's "publishers" and possess all those good ole publisher's rights. (Though they may naively license them out.)
Right. I've already agreed that there is a significant difference between displaying copies of CL listings and just having pointers to them.

It doesn't seem, however, that the link is the crux of CL's complaint. Rather it's the fact that PM has copied CL's data in order to generate a mapping of physical locations to CL listings.
X and Y can cost the same amount and solve different amounts of pain and both be priced accurately.

How?

Amount of Pain X Solves < Amount of Pain Y Solves

X solves a problem for a small market where the consumers are still find it worth $25 to solve the problem and have less options.

Y solves a massive problem that a lot of people have (big market). Prices have been driven to $25 by many competitors.

Different amounts of pain, different amounts of complexity, same price. Y's price has been driven down to 25 by competitive factors. X's price is higher because a lack of competitors. All this requires is that one is under-priced relative to value delivered but not to the market's competitive forces. Therefore neither is under priced given the reality of both sides of the market.
Books are constrained as much by medium as readability. If you want the book printed cheaply, you're relegated to black text on an off-white background. Also, there's a big difference between text on a back-lit display and text on a page.

I think dark gray text is a good choice for text on computers.
Even experts have trouble with their/there/they're.
Your search is... awkward.

I'm searching for "Count of Monte Cristo" (no quotes), and I get barely-related results (starting from "The Pregnancy Countdown" to "Fifty Shades of Grey" - please tell me that "of" is a stop-word in your search algorithm!).
