>> if you don't trust your own goverment then why would they trust you.

In the context of intercepting and storing your messages, trusting "your own government" means thousands of strangers, government employees and contractors alike, in this and future administrations, both now and as long as the data is stored (likely beyond your lifetime).

It means trusting that they won't leak that data intentionally, for political or personal gain, or by incompetence, under attack by hackers all over the world. (And let's face it, almost no one is competent when it comes to that level of attacks.)

If you send any information at all, business or personal, that you wouldn't want to be used against you, you can either trust all of these people, or you can use strong encryption and never worry about it again.
Just goes to show that you shouldn't trust any company who claims to be on your side w.r.t. encryption.

If you want security, do the encryption yourself.

And that the penalty for defaulting is even more money owed.

Don't pay, eventually owe hundreds of thousands of dollars more than you did originally.
Close to a Metro store, having access to a Metro card is like having a driving license: most people have it or they don't want it. I would say that most of the customers there are not "professionals". I live close to one and use it as a supermarket. Also, Microsoft does also sell to professional customers, so it is still a conflict of interest.

And, my point also stands: I don't care whether Metros claim is valid or not. They are a major distribution partner and Microsoft is depending on them. This is why they can strong-arm Microsoft rather than having to go to court. I don't care the slightest about the "normal people"-argument, because it doesn't matter.

Qt is about as low level as iOS's Objective-C runtime (both are compiled to native code and offer semi-manual memory management.) Meanwhile Android is based on full-blown virtual machine (Dalvik) with garbage collection.

HTML5 on the other hand is an elephant in the room. Promoting it as THE way to write apps for WebOS was a huge mistake. It's terrible inefficiency lead to stuttering ui and godawful memory consumption.

Also Qt has been used for graphical embedded projects for years (e.g. it doesn't require X11 on linux and can be compiled on many different architectures.)
>Does someone at Quora or Facebook manually scan new account names?

At facebook they certainly do. When you change your name you have to wait for some period of time before it gets approved by a human. The person doing it doesn't seem to give a shit though. It is the fashion amongst a certain sector of the youth to use utterly ludicrous pseudonyms on FB - most of my friends do. I would love to quote some of them here because they're very funny but I don't want to jeopardise anyones privacy.

Personally I have changed my name several times on FB over the years and never had a problem. For a long time it was 15 letters with no vowels. That was fun at parties - "What are you called on facebook?" "I literally can't remember. Guess I'm going to have to add you."
Unless you have many thousands of files, I can't imagine you would ever notice a slowdown.
Since this can be turned off in the Quora preferences, you might add an explanation why this is not good enough, e.g. they subverted an expected trust of anonymity by turning a new feature on without asking first, and that defaults matter.
Why didn't you deactivated the feature?
Yes, you're right, I can see the blurring in certain cases now.

If I go to the link you cited directly it is not blurred.

But I if search for "How do Bayesian algorithms work" in Google, then click the link that Google finds, then it is blurred.

Once you get the blurred Quora page, then even going to the link directly will get you a blurred page. If you delete all the Quora cookies, then it'll be back to being readable (non-blurred).

Interestingly, if you use Google's encrypted service ( https://encrypted.google.com/ ) to search for "How do Bayesian algorithms work", you'll get a non-blurred Quora page.
Great news!

Personally I'm a bit more a fan of OpenArena[1], the community is a bit more fun-play focused than most other games (and you'll often get an answer when asking something ingame), but this game is great fun too. Good to hear there is progress, and also cool to see this on the HN homepage :)

As tallanvor already alluded to, Microsoft has shown that there is a consistency problem.

Take two Surfaces. One x86 and the other ARM. Add a keyboard and mouse. Now the x86 version is in every respect a PC. The ARM version would be considered today as a tablet. So are we saying that the distinction between tablet and PC is CPU architecture ? Because that is ridiculous given that x86 is moving to the low end for tablets and today we have desktop ARM CPUs.

Hence tablets NEED to be classed as a PC.

I see your point but I don't think the difference between TV ads and classified ads is as big as you think it is. In both cases the ad content provider is paying the medium to display the ad. For a TV show, the provider is being paid, and therefore subject to the terms of sale (some shows do show on more than one network, for instance, but not until they are "old" episodes).

In the US there are even some TV stations that spend a major chunk of their time showing commercials ("infomercials"). In these cases content is not a differentiator.

There are also print-based classified-ad (magazines) (Auto-Trader, for example) that don't restrict re-using your ad.
Moneyball & Angel Investment
Interestingly (as someone who works in games industry doing marketing shit) I've never heard of OpenArena at all... but will definitely read up on it now you've mentioned it.

For Warsow, really pleased for them that they've reached 1.0, but from everything I've heard, specially over the past few months, they've made it a lot harder on themselves than it should have been, by the way they are organised (or not so organised) internally.
It was a design goal, it failed.
"The internet and technology in general have done some great things for music but making money is harder than ever."

I don't think we can conclude that at all, especially in this case.

In the pre-Internet era, the niche for modernist cello music would have been an incredibly small set. If she were supremely lucky, she'd make it to Carnegie Hall every few years, and maybe sell a couple hundred CDs at a given performance there. Her radio airplay would have been limited to NPR, and perhaps a smattering of tiny classical stations. She'd have been touring pretty much 24/7, mostly to small venues, and basically hustling albums out of the back of her van.

The internet has expanded niches, blurred genre lines, eased access, increased distribution, and basically enlarged the footprint that someone like Zoe Keating can make on the world. She might be getting a smaller slice of the pie, but her pie is undoubtedly much, much bigger than it would have been 20 or 30 years ago.

If anyone opened this spreadsheet expecting to see a glamorous story about how Zoe made $3 million in 2 days, I would suggest they reexamine their expectations for the size of the experimental cello music market. She's doing respectably well, given her niche. I would also assume she has supplemental income streams from concert appearances, which have historically been the bread and butter of classical musicians. (Which is not a lot of bread and butter, to be clear, but it pays the bills).

A more interesting discussion, IMO, would be a breakdown of how Spotify, iTunes, et al. have had disparate impacts on different types, flavors, and "sizes" of musicians. For instance, how has the Internet treated the Zoe Keatings of the world, vs. the Beyonces of the world, vs. the Bjorks of the world, vs. the Lil' Waynes of the world, and so forth.
Wow. Companies colluding with incompetent governments to tresspass on its citizens with impunity.

Time's clearly up for selling investors on the future of Facebook. Investors want to see results now on these tech companies.
Same in OpenArena, the organisation is quite messy. There are some modelers, coders, people who make maps in the hope of making it to releases... But nothing is really organized. Releases are not planned, and when they are planned they easily go 3 months overdue. But there is progress, and I think the game is already fairly complete as it is. Thousands of players seem to think so too.

OpenArena's goal is to make a completely open-source and free Quake 3 clone with some additions like delag, and it's actually the opensource competitor for Quake Live. It could use some more developers I think :)
Mars Lander PM "Likes people"
I just heard a fabulous interview with the project manager of the Mars Lander team. He has a PhD in engineering physics. in the interview… Which was about him… he said "this isn't about me. at one point we had 2000 people working on this project. And that's great; I like people."

A terrible student in elementary and high school, he was playing in rock bands, before looking up at the stars and being seduced by questions. He took a physics course at a community college, and that was the beginning of a new academic career.

The point, to me, is that he obviously does like people. And, as a former project manager, I think that is the single most important quality for a project manager. Also like me – and I promise this is completely where the similarities and – he played in rock bands. And in my memories of all the many many bands I played in, I don't remember anybody ever criticizing anybody else. Everybody was self-critical. Man oh man were we self-critical; always trying to do better for the other guys. And having a ton of fun.

I think those notions are also inherent in good software and hardware projects. And in life. :-)
There are other apps that have been built on the Facebook platform for that. Facebook has to stay out of their way in order to remain a true platform.
My hope is that programs like Khan, edX, and Udacity will address this.
Oh, sure, but I'm referring to something else. If you have a slow-moving object rendered on a 160x120 pixel screen, it may move 1 pixel, say, every 8 frames. Now scale this up to 1280x960, and your object will be 'jumping' 8 hardware-pixels every 8 frames, instead of smoothly moving 1 hardware-pixel every frame.

Of course, that can be an artistic choice, as long as you're aware of it.

"To be fair, I’m dealing with a “Premium” Apple Reseller, not Apple themselves. However as a customer I couldn’t care less. To me they are Apple"

And to anyone else it's an independent store that happens to sell Apple products.

If you buy a piece of candy in the grocery store and the clerk is rude, do you blame the candy company? I doubt it.

Complaining to Apple is a good strategy; if they get too many complaints they're likely to drop the reseller. However, claiming that the reseller IS Apple is just disingenuous.

No, pixel art is not at all about "big blocky pixels" - that's some silly 8-bit retro movement. Pixel art is about a crisp, distinctive look and intricate detail. For instance, this piece:
http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/29178.htm

Keep in mind that bad graphics are not retro! This is seen a lot in indie games - the creator isn't very artistic and so they use low-quality sprites to make up for it and call it retro (this is also happening with chiptunes/module scene).

Also, here's a wonderful guide/explanation on pixel art - a very very good read:

Quoting a comment on the blog post by Priit Roosimägi: "If Apple has granted a retailer "Premium" status and it is the one place, which represents Apple in the whole country, the reseller does become one with Apple in all consumers' eyes and Apple should take the blame."

They are the ONLY place in Estonia that is an authorized reseller and the ONLY one that has physical stores. Thus, by all means, they ARE Apple for the people living here.

College tuition is too high and rising too fast -- that's nothing new. But this article wasn't (primarily) about that, this article was about how borrowing by colleges and universities is shooting up.

In their defense, I want to say that I think it is an example of wise financial management with a long-term view. Most institutions struggle to consider any time horizon beyond the current year (if not just the current quarter), but often schools can take a longer view. And right now, interest rates are hitting a once-a-century record low. I contend that an institution would be WISE to borrow as much as possible on a long-term basis. In a few years that 2% loan may be LESS than they are making on their investments (if their investments were locked in years ago, it may be less right now). Do all the building possible right now, then plan to ride out a couple of decades.

The article suggested that taking on this debt wasa sign of mismanagement and recklessness, but it seems to me like a sign of long-term vision. What do you think?
The article hardly even mentions a very real risk to Ivy league Universities - that they will be challenged from below by Khan, Coursera, and Udacity and the like. Ivy-covered buildings and in-person lectures cost a lot to keep going. As the article states, Universities are typically in debt and student fees are rising.

"Disruption" is an overused buzzword but it may apply in this case. Universities trade of the fact that their expensive product is important and exclusive. What happens when it isn't exclusive or expensive any more?
Are they built into users' news feeds?
Do you think we are going to see webOS ported some day to more tablets, such as the very cheap (<$100) Allwinner-based ones? That'd be cool
Congratulations, you just figured something out that your predecessors didn't in 8 years: war is expensive, and so is letting the banks get so big that we have to bail them out. Alas, we can't play the same game from 2000: 5.6 trillion dollars. That would have been much easier.

Now, others suggest you are wrong about the importance of the debt: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/02/opinion/krugman-nobody-und... -- but let's accept your assertion that the debt is currently too high.

I started to type out a big reply, but my startup is more important than correcting you. ;) But the main problem is that we don't have the jobs. Without the jobs, we don't have income to tax. Decreasing wages (business friendly) doesn't increase the tax base. Decreasing environmental regulations punts the problem down the road -- eventually, we have to clean the problems up, and deal with the increased health problems as the companies that caused the problems declare bankruptcy. (Look at the superfund sites history for some of the problems.)

Inflation was not considered in your solution, and you should at least address it: inflation isn't even necessarily bad, as Krugman writes. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/06/opinion/krugman-not-enough...

There's a much bigger problem. The world doesn't need more of what we're selling. The more we save, the fewer jobs that are created. The less we save, the more precarious our financial situations are when crises happen like 2008. (Let me remind you that starvation is a root cause for revolution, and civil war is indeed possible in the US.)

Inflation is painful, but it is a key portion of the way out. The second piece is reducing military R&D to 10%, killing all non-naval bases outside the country, accepting that we will have to rebuild the military in the case of crisis and that Israel and Taiwan may have trouble without us. Allow Japan to rebuild its military -- that will help keep China at bay.

Slashing military R&D will release some incredible engineers to innovate outside the military sphere.

We then drastically cut homeland security and accept a few more terrorist events every decade. Keep the water aquifers and nuclear bases safe, but the return on investment is poor.

If everything else stays constant (even accepting an increase in health care costs), we are well on the way to bringing ourselves to paying off our war debts, at the least.

I suggest that this needs to happen when the economy is stronger, not weaker, mind you, else we may cause a larger crisis than we solve.
