Interesting article, but somehow the comment section turned into a MobileWorkers commercial?
Chrome Canary has retina support if you want to get a sneak peak at it. The problem is Canary crashes OSX often.
I certainly perceive Microsoft to be morally bankrupt. Google less so, for two reasons:

1. They haven't been around as long and so haven't had to decide how far they'll go when the next big thing comes along.

2. I think they "get" trust, and realise their entire business depends on it. Facebook... not so much. Their continued retraction of new services show that trust isn't even an afterthought.

This is pretty brilliant. I'm guessing all those talented rank-and-file Zynga employees feeling screwed by the insider stock scandal that allowed executives to cash out while they had to wait and watch the stock collapse might want to check out this video.
It was $300m in cash and the rest in stock, valued at ~$30 a share. The current value of the deal is more like $800m.
I'd actually been testing that theory for many months, and was all set to declare it victory when Groupon happened.

I was sure that the level of negativity on the company leading up to the IPO would pretty much assure it's success.

But I think folks have been proven to be mostly right about that (if not a little hyperbolically fatalistic).
Again? Wow!
No dark grey line in Konqueror 4.8.4 or Chromium 20 here, but Firefox 13.0.1 does mess it up like he says. (EDIT: browser versions added, OS is 64-bit Arch Linux)

From a practical standpoint I guess you should be careful around `transparent` if you're a designer, but the moral responsibility clearly falls on browser vendors here. It's not meaningful to talk about the "colour" of transparent objects, and using those values when doing anti-aliasing (however technically appealing) is wrong.

I think the problem is that they're doing the anti-aliasing "too early". They're not blending the colours you see, they're blending the colours they're painting as they paint them.
Seriously? After all the Apple apologist, are we now going to see a Google apologist.

The headline is accurate and not inflamatory. Your proposed summary reads like PR puke on the other hand.
LANMAN v1 limit is 14 characters and is disabled by default on Win 2008 and 7.
Neither did they require Verizon to refund collected fees. Since this was apparently a clear violation of the licensing agreement (i.e. it was never "correct" or "permitted" under that agreement), I'd argue the FCC should have made them make the affected consumers whole.

Now that might have sent a significant message with respect to ending this kind of bullshit, and to deliberately -- I'd argue, maliciously -- pushing the limits of what they can get away with.

I don't know how many users actually knuckled under to these fees. But even it it didn't represent an enormous amount of revenue, refunding it would have been a nice exercise for their management and administration to undergo. (I don't care how much of a "hassle" it might cause them.)
Also don't underestimate the importance of dreams in inspiring us. Inspiration can be seen as what makes perspiration possible. I have seen people who had significant physical disabilities become inspired and overcome those to a large extent within the domains of one activity or another. Inspiration can make us extraordinary, if we are willing to follow it and put in the effort.
Does cool matter? For a start, everyone has different definitions of cool- I assure you that plenty of people do not think that Google Glasses are cool, they think they're a nerdy toy. Luckily, us HNers are nerdier than average...

But Facebook isn't cool, no. It's too established now, in the same way that Gmail isn't cool. However, they're both indispensable services for huge, huge numbers of people.
Sprint? Right. Unlimited data is meaningless if both 3G and 4G are limited to 600kbits/s and your ping times are through the roof.
Five Reasons You Should be Using HTML5 Today
Especially since all the nitpicking about what Samsung did or didn't do and what is or isn't ok in that is completely irrelevant for HTC.

HTC has had their own design language for quite some time. If you can't immediately tell the difference between an HTC phone (or tablet) and an iPhone (or iPad) when they're put next to each other (and I've seen plenty), you either have rocks in your head or you're lying.

Apple suing HTC is the easiest way to see that they're not going after "copyists" (whatever they are), they're going after competitors wherever they can, by hook or by crook.
Awesome. There are only two things that really stand in the way of many HTML5 apps competing with native apps, camera access is one. Address book access is the other.

Before this only Opera 12 had experimental camera support.
Thats only a question fanboys from both sides keep bringing up.
Look at how Chile privatized most of their infrastructure. Basically, the government grants a private company portions of the infrastructure, and they are given specific goals and timelines to upgrade the structures. If they stay on track and meet their goals, they are allowed to keep the profits. If they fail, other companies can bid on the infrastructure, finish the improvements, and capture the profits.

I'm a lucky pessimist. I've done really well for my standards, and I'll be the first to admit that luck played a huge role. I don't think being naively optimistic is semi-necessary. It may help in not giving up when things are not going your way.

You can be a pessimist and still be persistent as hell. Sometimes you're pleasantly surprised, the rest of the time things just suck as expected :)

Probably for the best. FB just doesn't justify the $100 billion valuation so many people wanted. It does justify the valuation it has now though.

A little cold water getting splashed on Silicon Valley is just what the doctor ordered. The system is working.

It's a stock on its way to $5, and even that is too high at the current earnings.

"just do it" is the opposite of the "anything is possible if you put your mind to it" slogan. The "anything is possible" slogan implies that failure is always surmountable, which it obviously isn't.

"just do it" means specifically, "so what if you won't be an olympic star, won't lose 200 pounds or win a marathon, won't become a millionaire, even if your attempts fail and you totally suck at something, if you truly are interested in it and have a passion for it, don't discourage yourself, just do it anyway." Life is all about showing up and trying.

I played for years with a singer-songwriter who was just awful - tone deaf, fairly dorky, lame songs, guitar strings popping out, pretty bad. We were booed on stage more than once. After a couple of years I couldn't take it anymore and I quit that band. Years later I saw him play and he was totally great, had a fanbase and everything, and had done several tours in europe where he got really polished.

He kept at it for years, learned as much as he could from everyone he interacted with, and eventually learned enough to start playing first acceptably, then actually pretty well, within his niche, and today he makes his living full time as a musician. He was simply incapable of was taking to heart all the negative responses he got. They kind of just bounced off of him, and he persevered. When I saw him perform, one of his songs was called "Everything Sucks", and it was specifically about me and the really negative attitude I always had when we used to play together. Fans in the audience cheered for the song and they knew the words. It was sort of a teaching moment about negativity for me.

Anyway that's what "just do it" means. It means don't let negativity get in the way of what you feel like doing.
"we remimagined email"..."there are 30% more emails visible."

Doesn't sound like a "reimagination". But the visuals are nice
"Mind" is a very poorly defined term, unfortunately.

To determine what you are or aren't, consider this for an exercise: You are a view point, yes? What you can observe is not part of your identity because you can observe it, and therefore it must be external to "you". This is obvious when it comes to things like your body parts; you could cut off your hand, but that wouldn't cut off a part of your "you-ness".

The interesting bit comes when you start to examine your mind itself. Normally, we think of our thoughts as part of our identity. But with a little practice, you can watch thoughts arise, at which point they seem more "separate" and less "you". I always liken them to those biplanes at the beach with a banner fluttering behind them.

So, if you can observe thoughts and not identify with them, then they're not "you". What makes up "you", then? The more you observe, the fewer candidates for "you" there are, no? ;)

I posted an article earlier this week that got no traction, but discusses exactly this.

According to the article and the paper it references, people fall predominantly into two populations which are distingquished by their beliefs vis-a-vis achievement. The first population believes, inherently and without evidence, in the supremacy of accomplishing achievements. People in second population have as their primary motive the avoidance of failure.

The paper and the article go on to detail the set of post-hoc rationalizations which support these beliefs, and how these were discovered.

>if it were so easy to invent Facebook, you would've invented Facebook.

The only problem I have with a comment like this is that there were millions of factors and pieces to the puzzle of creating Facebook, that this is a ridiculous over simplification of how it came to be.

Luck, timing, market condition, state of competition etc...

Zuck is the luckiest person alive to have been in the place he was when he was - its not like he simply invented everything required to make Facebook from zilch. Friendster and MySpace verified the market, zuck had a great twist on that and a million other thing fell into place.

Not to say it was simple and non-trivial, but that comment just has way too much bravado and ego and is just plain stupid.

He did a great job, but there is nobody else who should be using that line in any other context.
> I found a pretty major bug in your loader code ... last week and today you are still distributing the broken code has me worried. Do you not take this stuff seriously?

Clearly you have never run an actual company before.
I don't think anyone is discounting Facebook as an easy project. It has its own set of challenges to address, but, I saw many social networks before Facebook, and a few sprung up after Facebook in a short period of time, with various degrees of success. I don't see the same happening with driverless cars, so I am assuming it is more difficult to implement driverless cars than Facebook. Because, you know, if it were so easy to implement driverless cars, you would've implemented those.
I don't have a prob with the post, but as someone trying to "just do it," this quote helps me:
"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
But you had to explain it with a long parenthetical remark.
FB is not losing any money - investors are. $1B is still a drop in the bucket for facebook.

Memorizing clicked links independent of browser's history.

I often read HN at work. The page interface is very simple but the bright color of visited links makes it easy to navigate and spot new top stories.

The problem occurs when I go back home and check if any interesting news were added. I have to navigate through a long list of links and the only way of knowing if anything new popped up is to read all the titles again.

It would be helpful if HN could memorize visited articles and change the link color accordingly regardless of the browser history.

As a frequent FB user, I find it interesting watching how my FB experience is noticeably degrading now that they have IPO'ed and have to 'prove' results.

The sponsored posts that look similar to normal user 'likes/shared' posts, the 'Friend has just accepted an offer' posts when they haven't, the 'Pages you may like' ads that appear in the mobile FB app ... to me, it feels grubby, deceptive and invasive of my user experience.

I know FB has to make a profit somehow, but that's really not my problem - I can only rank a service on my user experience, and FBs is sliding downhill. It's been said by others that Google Adwords has been so successful because it captured intent and context. I also think it was successful because (for the most part) it was non-disruptive to the overall user experience on the page it was displayed. The ads were reasonably discrete and clearly defined.

FB's approach of 'disrupt' or 'trick' the user into clicking on ads seems like a throwback to interstitials, pop-ups and other dubious methods. I can't see this as being a good approach and believe this will only hurt their user base (and stock price) in the future.
Yes! What's not to like about it, I find the content engaging, the photos (a la Zite) interesting and the site layout looks and works well. I don't see why all these naysayers are complaining about the masonry layout. Magazines looked that way for several reasons, one of them is people seem to like the format. I'm all for sites rethinking the classic list design as we sees here in hn, it's informationaly dense (hacker news) but that only works when the domain is very specific. For Digg, the magazine look works much better. Well done Digg for having some design flair.
Whilst waiting for my turn to order on a local subs restaurant, I saw something familiar. I was watching Big O live and in action. There were two cashiers. Each one greeted the customer differently. The lady on the right was faster, because she would ask yes or no questions. Then she would ask for payment type up front and prepare the ATM/credit card terminal in advance if the client said ATM/CC. The other cashier would just ask random questions in no particular order, and would wait until the last minute to prepare everything for the payment part of the transaction. She never had the pen at hand. Ever.

Two people. Same training ( I assume ), and two vastly different algorithms operating for the same goal. Imagine if a computer would take in the order. It would closely match the lady on the left POS terminal. She was as close as a computer anyway.

Her routine went a bit like this:

(start transaction
(greeting
(choose sub type
(type of bread (white or wheat)
(any deviation from the STD ingredients)
(? combo meal))
(? change chips for cookie)
(? change soda for bottled water)
(type of payment
(prepare pen & adjust terminal)
(? ATM
(get card ( swipe ( punch in numbers ( ? accepted || declined (goto start <-- ) give customer card back )))))
(end transaction)))

I just realized how lispy this came out to be. :)
You could require receivers to calculate a difficult problem where the difficulty was based on the "hate" people had for the content, similar to what Zed Shaw tried to do awhile ago with IRC (?).

Basically, each person that didn't like the content would spend some CPU time to up the difficulty of transferring it. After awhile, it'd take someone who wanted the content so long that they would give up, in which case the content wouldn't be transferred any more.
I believe the point is that you're lying when you say, quote, "they have to close the account".

Google could simply choose not to collect personal information on accounts of children. This would be, literally, one line of code to implement. They've chosen instead to ban children from Google services, which is in no way required by law.
You may like the short science fiction story Learning To Be Me, by Greg Egan. The idea is that people put a microchip in their brain (the "jewel") that learns to mimic the brain's signals, so when the brain fails the microchip can take over.

The interesting question is: "am I the jewel?"
It might involve similar regions, such as the Fusiform Face Area (FFA), but people with prosopagnosia don't necessarily have difficulty with identifying facial emotions; what they have difficulty with is in distinguishing and remembering faces from each other. It's a bit like the way most of us couldn't tell one sheep from another in a flock.

Prosopagnosics tend to rely on things like voice, gait, haircuts, facial hair, and name badges.
Premultiplied alpha exists to solve this and similar problems.
I agree that Google does amazing things, but all 3 things you mentioned are vaporware. I can't buy any of them, even if I lived in Kansas City (fiber is only available if your "fiberhood" meets some adoption level). Promising, interesting vaporware, but vaporware nonetheless.

A Better Way To Learn Code
Hello,

This is an idea for a better way to learn code. I am currently trying to learn Lisp from scratch on the recommendation of certain sources on the Internet. Personally, I find it very hard to learn just by reading a book and asking questions on the Internet because :

1) You can't see the person who is posting
2) You don't know whether what that person says is accurate or whether he/she is just trolling.

Have an idea to create either a video or an online website which shows the absolute beginner VISUALLY , in explicit detail how to create a website step-by-step using a particular language. I noticed that many people (including myself) want to have an individualized website nowadays but are unable to go about doing it because they get discouraged by the technical jargon, especially if they don't have any prior programming knowledge and have no friends to teach them. If anyone is interested in discussing an idea like this, please email me at gengyangcai@gmail.com. Thanks a lot !

I love this guy. First he shakes up Silicon Valley investing, now he is moving to high-quality research.

The most beautiful thing about his approaches to both, is that they are high-impact, high-leverage. In the investing case, he outsources all the filtering work to YC.

In this case, he will outsource the selection work to past laureates.

Brilliant!
If providing the current set of GMail features (including price) is uneconomical for Google after support for under-13s is added (and, AFAIK, all of the external evidence we have suggests that it is), then you're making a distinction without a difference.
Sorry, I meant: THE ARTICLE ITSELF is the lesson, not necessarily the points within.

For example, "Rule 8. Is Secret" is (possibly) illustrating #6, #4, and the humor of it #3.

It's making points, meta-points, and doing it with a sense of humor. There are good lessons at each of those levels, and it makes you think "Wait, really? Did he really mean that?"
Those investors probably include every single person who works at facebook.
Oh, certainly. If the signal is reaching your occipital/visual cortex, then you have the experience of seeing. There would be other deficits (weakened orienting responses, cross-modal congruency effects, diminished RT to dangerous/frightening stimuli), but nothing quite as major as no longer "seeing".

The amount of utter bullshit US phone companies get away with is staggering. How and why did they think this would fly?
By P/E (admittedly a poor indicator of value) it's a steal compared to Amazon (~285) and SalesForce (historically between 200-400, now in the thousands).
Well, the point for me was less screwing around. My phone was dying while traveling, so I went into the nearest store. They in effect offered me a $400 subsidy if I signed a new 2-year deal and gave up unlimited data. I was happy to pay the full price to avoid that and still walk out with a new phone.
It's like the lottery, only you win using skill instead of luck! Oh, wait...
I don't see why this has to be zero sum. I can be wowed by Google Glasses without calling Facebook a "glorified noticeboard."

I don't see the same happening with driverless cars, so I am assuming it is more difficult to implement driverless cars than Facebook.

There are actually multiple companies that have prototyped driverless cars, we're just much earlier in the technology cycle for it. But, I digress.
I'm on OSX 10.8 and Firefox 13.0.1 and I can't reproduce the problem. Both examples also look identical for me.

It's not really a matter of neglect, it's a matter of finding people who actually want to do this. OS integration is pretty difficult with Firefox's codebase, partially because it's not really a native app. Parts are real (like the titlebar) but most isn't (including scrollbars). It's hard & dirty work being done by a very small team.

(I'm a former Mozilla employee who added Lion Full Screen support and did some other OS X integration work. If you know somebody who cares about Firefox and wants to work on OS X related work let me know and I'll git in touch with the right people to make that happen.)
Same for me, and I'm on plain old 14.0.1 (on Linux, but I don't think that would make a difference).
I didn't receive a reset password email. Good thing that I don't store important files in it.
