Does this make an American degree more valuable?
The title is linkbait. If the article title was honest it would read "Samsung sells more smartphones than Apple". Instead, it implies that Samsung has a top-end smartphone that sells better than Apple's iPhone. Which is not true. If you need confirmation that this is how people are interpreting the headline look no further than many of the comments in this very thread.
Thanks. I am planning to open -source it once I start coding.

Google Unveils Superfast Internet in Kansas City, Mo.
Why you are getting downvoted:

Everyone here knows (or should know) that the internet started in the 60s (kinda, 1986 definitely), and WWW was a short project in 1989-1990 by TimBL, which just happened to catch on like wildfire (due to bandwidth increases, and cheap PCs more than anything else).

Tim Berners-Lee invented the first cut of HTTP (GET / POST etc), and got the ball rolling on HTML (which was basically a clone of the 1960s SGML).

Paul Otlet seems to have been something of a visionary (just like Ted Nelson, Project Xanadu's head).

TimBL was just in the right place, at the right time.

But it's silly to say that his only contribution was a few months writing WWW. He also wrote ENQUIRE 10 years before, which was kind of like Apple's HyperCard (1987 - between ENQUIRE and WWW).

There were lots of other Hypertext systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext#Implementations). But that doesn't mean TimBL was a fraud, simply that the media loves to simplify this kind of thing.
I haven't checked out the original paper, but the solution presented on the blog is a non-solution. It only works for ascii characters and words composed out of ascii. When you reuse someone elses code, you always get stuck with someone elses assumptions. In this case, that English is the only language and that the regular expression [A-Za-z] encompasses all possible letters in the world. The shell solution, built upon standard tools, can not be extended to work in an international context but a custom solution in Python (or even Pascal) quite concievably could.

I disagree with the statement that Twitter has problems finding a monetization model. What do you think about the following idea:

Many people use Twitter to link to apps they like (Apple App Store, Android Store etc) or to products (links to Amazon) etc. Twitter already detects that. If you post a link to an app Twitter automatically shows the icon and screenshots - at least in the web version. All Twitter has to do now is to add their own "affiliate token" to the URL and then they would profit: 2-3% for each and every thing you buy on the App Store and up to 10% for things on Amazon. People do click links on Twitter all the time so their cookie would always be "refreshed".

I have an application in the App Store ( http://store-news-app.com/ ) that is free and links to the best deals in the Mac/iOS app store. I can tell you: With just a couple of thousands requests / day I make good money from it. Imagine what Twitter could do just by adding a few bytes to every Amazon/App Store URL posted on Twitter...

£12bn was spread across several integrators including BT, CSC and Fujitsu, and delivered many successful services - particularly the Spine and PACS.

And what percentage of the sales are the cheap phones vs the expensive ones? You seem to imply that people mostly buy the cheap phones.

Perhaps Apple is simply overpriced, ever thought of that? Prices for electronics are always falling, there is no law of nature that demands high end phones have to cost 800$.
No, the web. The Internet is something different. one would hope you knew at least that much before attempting to post on this site.
Zynga and GroupOn look bad there and they should as most people agreed they were never solid foundational businesses to start with.

If you take Zynga and GroupOn out of the graph though, the Facebook stock could just as well be on a slightly jittery ride to approaching an equilibrium.
I am being downvoted, because my assertions (admittedly in unpolished form) aren't backed by popular views (some of which are polished products, Manufacturing Consent) and because I stick to my guns and do my best to warn others about some things that are (not) supposed to happen especially at CERN.

simply that the media loves to simplify this kind of thing.

The media (and the beeb, almost openly since Dr. Kelly) does what it has been "ordered" to do, ie. "maximising opportunity and minimising threat":

False. Apple never dominated to smart phone market. It just dominates the revenues.
Doesn't Pascal have libraries for sorting? I find that hard to believe. So there must have been another reason why Knuth chose to implement everything from scratch. Probably to demonstrate programming techniques. You don't learn that much about algorithms by stringing together a couple of shell commands.
I do not see much of a parallel between the two. Brunel is known for zillions of physical objects, built over decades; TBL is known for only one thing, created in less than two years (probably not as his main project, I guess)

Also, Brunel must have been quite an organizer to get done what he got done; TBL created the web almost alone.

A country to country comparison would be nice. Is there any reason why the US would suffer less from plagiarism?
There's definitely a lack of good developers in London. We don't mind too much about what language people know as the fundamentals of good software translate to pretty much any language :)

Have you installed the XCode command line tools? Also have you updated to a recent (4.4+) XCode version?
Short answer: Hard sciences: absolutely not. Social sciences: depends.

Long answer: First you have to distinguish between the different European higher education systems which are merging only slowly and thus can't be considered uniform. Everything I write is based on the situation in Germany, which may or may not be similar to other northern European countries.

The _average_ PhD given out in Germany can't compete with a PhD degree from Stanford. However, the _average_ PhD given out in Germany leaves the _average_ PhD given out in the US in the dust. The reasons are as follows: In Germany, you can't just open a bunch of universities, accredit each other and start giving out degrees. Every University has to be accredited by the state and most universities (including all of the top tier universities) are run by the state. In addition to that, it is illegal to call yourself a PhD in Germany if you are not really a PhD (ATTENTION REST OF THE WORLDERS: If you come to Germany be sure that your degree is recognized or you might run into this.). Degrees are taken very seriously throughout German society, so "the people" demand quality control.

Also, at least in the hard sciences, plagiarism will make you a pariah. Once you are found out to have plagiarized something, people won't want to touch you with a ten foot (approx 3m) stick. Every physicist knows the name Jan Hendrick Schön.

What you actually see when you look at the case of Guttenberg and others is a bunch of people (quite possible mainly hard science folk) banding togehter in a wiki and dissecting some controversial cases from the soft sciences. The big plagiarism cases in Germany of the last years took place primarily in the realm of 300-page text only PhD theses in social fields or law.

Looking at it from the other side, you should consider wether or not plagiarisms are easier to be found out in Europe or the US. I really appreciate the no-nonsense attitude that Americans generally have and I don't doubt that a media shitstorm would ensue, should a big name politician be caught at something like this in the US, but the American system has a bunch of things against it. To list a few: Everybody needs a degree, no one has the time/interest to check PhD theses after the fact (would you start a guttenplag wiki?), more money is involved, translation plagiarism is very unlikely to be found out.

Feds have been an integral part since DEF CON 1. They're welcome, and booing them of the stage is just childish. Again, I'm pretty sure the majority of hackers don't agree with them, and may even think they're a bunch of morons, but it's still interesting to hear what they have to say. People do get booed of the stage, but for entirely different reasons, e.g. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9755135-7.html (and watch the video, it's hilarious).

(Also, talking about security-people-hackers on a site primarily focused on programming-startup-hackers confuses the crap out of me.)
I do. You don't show up in a suit at DEF CON, you just don't.
Thank you very much for your thorough answer and the many starting points to read into. Much appreciated. Got some "meta-research" to do now...
None of those things cause as much greenhouse gas emissions as a high meat diet.

The level of meat consumption in rich countries is unjustifiable.
This happens all the time when people make Apple / iPhone vs some-Android-manufacturer / Android comparisons - someone from whatever "side" has the lower number always tries to re-frame the competition about being about another metric, as if the whole thing will be done and settled if we only have a number to tell us which is better.
Without the extremely aggressive throttling of a Micro instance, too; which means that one greedy app can bring everyone to a crawl.

You said the 'article' was misleading.
Why would it matter what country it's from? Why not have a South Korean company in the lead? I don't really care what countries things are from as long as they are good products, although personally I'd rather see a South Korean company dominating than an American one.
Of course you count stock options as an expense.

If the event results in a loss of value for existing investors isn't called a loss what should it be called?
Exactly. Most of these examples seem to be "we've had Dropbox support for a while, and we added Google Drive and more people are setting it up"; my interpretation is "Dropbox users have already configured their accounts".
Facebook is rife for disruption, the fact that google hasn't been able to pull it off doesn't mean that it isn't possible. Few of facebook's users love facebook, they use it because that's where everyone they care about is. Almost the entire value of the site is due to network effect and a merely competent execution of the site's core features.

Google imagines that they can take away marketshare from facebook by implementing mostly the same featureset with only a few changes that only a tiny proportion of people care about (with the exception of hangouts, which so far is google+'s killer feature). But that sort of tactic only works if you can bribe 51% of the userbase over to your side in the first place. In that case then everyone else would follow, but in trying to disrupt an entrenched competitor it's going to be an uphill battle at best.

There are two ways to disrupt facebook, I think. One: on technology / featureset. Facebook has a terrible mobile app, that's an easy weakness to exploit. Google+'s hangouts are another aspect of adding features that facebook lacks. If you manage to come up with enough compelling features and qualities perhaps you can get people to switch. Two: socially. Facebook is a very one-size-fits-all system for social networking, but that's not the way social networks in the real world view themselves. For example, a site, or federation of sites, that more explicitly catered to different interests through layout, graphic design and branding, feature-choice, etc. could have a higher appeal to certain groups than facebook. A lot of facebook's appeal is because it is, or was, perceived as "cool", if other sites can change that perception then they can drain traffic away from facebook. Maybe not all of it, but if a thousand different sites each take a thousandth of FB's traffic, then what happens?

The most naive assumption is that facebook won't be disrupted. Nearly every online company is going to be disrupted in the next decade, the question is whether or not those companies can respond to it effectively and manage to survive.
Does anyone know why it would cost more than 5 times more than the original budget? And how did they manage to reallocate that much resources?

This being the 3rd Olympic event in London, I'm surprised the estimate was that much off.
That money is used to make their business more proficient, not necessarily to make the best framework. It is possible that creating the best framework is one stepping stone to making the business proficient, but it is not a given that they will take that approach.
The lesson from this and other cases is simple:

DON'T START A COMPANY IN THE U.S.

DON'T KEEP YOUR ASSETS IN THE U.S.

DON'T KEEP YOUR DATA IN U.S.-owned DATA CENTERS

(That includes non-US data centers belonging to US companies, like Amazon AWS servers in Ireland.)

Otherwise you're exposing your company and your users to the arbitrary, predatory practices of US "law enforcement" system, which happily does the bidding of US content industries.

It is good to see that a cashless, checkless society has just about come to pass, that automation has transformed offices and robotics manufacturing in mainly beneficial ways, including telecommuting, that defense spending has finally slowed for a few of the right reasons, that population growth has also slowed and that biotechnology has transformed medicine, agriculture and industry—all of this resulting in an older, slightly conservative, but longer-lived and healthier society possessed of more leisure and a wider range of educational and recreational options in which to enjoy it—and it is very good at last to see this much industry located off-planet, this many permanent space residents and increased exploration of the solar system.

* We're mostly a cashless society using cards and electronic payment -- CORRECT

* Automation has transformed offices and robotics manufacturing in mainly beneficial ways -- CORRECT

* Defense spending has finally slowed for a few of the right reasons -- MIXED : True as a ratio, but not in absolute $$$

* population growth has also slowed -- CORRECT

* Biotechnology has transformed medicine, agriculture and industry—all of this resulting in an older, slightly conservative, but longer-lived and healthier society possessed of more leisure and a wider range of educational and recreational options -- CORRECT on nearly all counts

* ...in which to enjoy it—and it is very good at last to see this much industry located off-planet, this many permanent space residents and increased exploration of the solar system. -- WRONG

This is a good point to go into. At this point Facebook essentially needs to monetize their userbase to an extraordinary degree. That's the debt they've incurred due to the pricing of their IPO. That will likely force them to annoy their users with more ads, etc.

However, consider an upstart with nothing to prove. If they can put together a facebook competitive technology stack at a lower cost they can actually monetize less than facebook, and steal users that way. The fact that they would potentially make, say, half or a tenth as much revenue per user is irrelevant, because it would be their revenue vs. facebook's revenue.

Yes, what I'm saying is that there is an implication here that Samsung is winning against the iPhone. In reality they are simply selling handsets at price points Apple is not even competing for.

The example you give of Dell vs Apple is a perfect example. Nobody would make the Apple/Dell comparison because it would not be news that more Dell laptops are sold than Apple ones. Whereas this article is trying to make news out of Samsung vs iPhone, due to the fact Samsung has an 'iPhone-like-product'.

It is misleading. Not if you read every word, sit back, process, go all hacker-analytic on it... and consequently realise it's not really news. But if you read the article in the way it appears to have been editorialised, picture of S III, focus on the newer models... the fact the somewhat spurious comparison is even being drawn to begin with, you could be inclined to believe this article is saying 'S III et al are beating the iPhone'.

It's subtle sure, but it ultimately is not an accurate title for the article, and is very easy to misconstrue. A fairer title would be something like:
"Samsung is selling handsets to a broader market spectrum than Apple, will this lead to greater profits in the long-run?" - boring title, granted.

Microsoft started to crack around 97. They failed several times to build a database application for Windows/Office.

Eventually, they managed to get MS Access (Cirrus) out, and Visual C++ 1.0 had been out for a while already.

That period was the last time that Microsoft really did anything exciting. aside from .NET perhaps.

Not to say that much of what they've done hasn't been good. But XBox, they ground that one out. Bing, they ground that one out. Courier, killed. Surface, Windows 8, ground it out in response to external events.

Ballmer needs to go, but even Ballmer leaving won't fix them. Maybe Jim Allchin was their last great hope as a leader, but that opportunity has now passed.
