Apple have always been very clear that they don't like being beholden to anyone when it comes to core products.

Google ran the risk of finding themselves in precisely that position with the advent of mobile devices.

As much as I'd rather Apple and Google - two of the most exciting companies out there - were getting on, I don't think anything Google is doing is that different to what Apple would do were the situation reversed.
Do you have a better solution? Also, many banks now allow cashing photos of checks.
Hmm. I think my history is a very poor measure of the typing I do. It's the rare command I type that doesn't benefit substantially from tab completion and/or modification of earlier commands.

So this is the second ebook I have seen from someone who went through the 30x500 course. I thought the entire premise of the course was to get 500 subscribers to pay you $30 per month?

The post doesn't say actually ever say what "starring" does, other than put it in the list of things I have starred. Is that it?
All right, I'll restate my point, which is: if technology renders some product(s) unnecessary, we should let the firms making the unnecessary product(s) disappear, rather than distorting markets, changing laws and reducing civil liberties to keep the markets-as-they-currently-exist.

I really don't follow music much, I have a tin ear, as they say. I merely see Music-production-as-big-business doing a lot of things (lobbying, propagandizing, maybe even comment trolling) that seem, well, authoritarian, totalitarian and not for the general good. Specific laws that promulgate what I see as a false-to-fact concept, "Intellectual Property" mostly have the backing of music and movie production companies, and pharmaceutical companies. Those companies appear to me, an outside observer, to be less than helpful to the general populace. If they need to drastically curtail civil liberties for success in the market, let the companies fail.
What are some examples that you've seen die?
I think the existence of kickstarter shows that people, if asked to fund a work of art, will be willing to do so.
I wonder if this applies more for non-technical roles. In my most-recent jobhunt, I applied at a number of startups people here will have heard of using approach 3, and got a good number of callbacks and some fun interviews. I certainly didn't have to suck up to anyone, do any spec work, or mass spam the founders with unsolicited recommendations.
This came up a few weeks ago on HN. Not to express any opinion about the regulatory action happening here, but you might be surprised to learn that you could be better off swallowing a nail than you would be if you swallowed a pair of these tiny magnets.

Swallowing the magnets is a big deal. As they transit your system, they can easily find themselves on either side of a fold of tissue, whereupon they lock together, gradually kill the tissue, leak gut bacteria into the bloodstream and create sepsis.

On the other hand, if you swallow a nail, there is apparently a very good chance that your doctor will just tell you to go home and look for it in your poop. This according to a journal article I found last time the story came up.

Worse still, the risks are deceptive. As a parent, you would no doubt freak out completely if you discovered your toddler ate a nail. I know I'd be at the emergency room minutes later. On the other hand, parents are routinely told by their doctors to wait and watch the poop when other innocuous round objects are swallowed. It is very easy to see how parents could make the wrong call about the magnets and wind up with gravely ill children as a result.

---

More things you might want to know about the CPSC complaint:

* Despite warnings, there've been numerous continuous incidents of kids needing surgery after ingesting the magnets.

* The magnets are marketed to kids 14 years and up; there are apparently lots of reports of teenagers using the magnets to hold jewelry for e.g. fake lip piercings.

* When you sell tiny rare earth magnets to teenagers, it is awfully hard to ensure that those magnets don't end up in the GI tracts of little kids that share a house with those teenagers.

* Warning labels for this suck because the product practically demands to be taken out of packaging; once you assemble a structure with them, it's not like you break them back up and put them in a box.

* Little kids love these things, because they're shiny, they click, and they move in unexpected ways.

The CPSC wants the death penalty for this product. I'm not there with them, but I see where they're coming from.

from the CPSC press release:

Since 2009, CPSC staff has learned of more than two dozen ingestion incidents, with at least one dozen involving Buckyballs. Surgery was required in many of incidents. The Commission staff alleges in its complaint that it has concluded that despite the attempts to warn purchasers, warnings and education are ineffective and cannot prevent injuries and incidents with these rare earth magnets.

Stripe allows you to charge customer on your site instead of redirecting her to other domain to fill out the purchase form. So, you lose track of your website visitor in a very important moment. If purchase never occurs, you have no idea why.
On the other hand, with Stripe you have full control of complete purchasing experience, can experiment with various designs and flows - and measure everything. That enables huge gains with rigorous A/B testing, as Patrick explained.
"If you are Samsung, looking at this list {Samsung motions denied more then Apple's}, what are you thinking? I'm thinking it too."

Right it's a conspiracy PJ! The judges are in on it! Maybe we can tie it into the Korean fencer who got robbed in London? idk

It couldn't possibly be that Samsung has a weak case because, well let's acknowledge the 500 pound gorilla in the room -- nobody really doubts for a second that Samsung intentionally copied the iphone and ipad closer than every other non-KIRF competitor.

It's a neat trick to simultaneously claim that our IP laws are hopelessly oppressive (to which I mostly agree) and that no one involved in open source ever violates them. Bravo!

I'm curious to know why you don't think a CPC model on a large scale could happen.
Given the risks and costs involved, I think this is a stupid article.

1) It's cheap to apply to a startup. The worst that can happen is that you get your ego bruised with a rejection

2) Interviewing at a startup will help you interview elsewhere. You will learn something.

3) Startups complain about a lack of talent. Maybe you're the one to prove them wrong.
Agreed.

I think it comes down to discretion. I would never recommend flooding an interviewer with internal email, but one helpful nudge from a respected colleague who vouches for you won't hurt.
Nice! 'async' is almost essential for me: the 'waterfall' style in particular. I modularize everything too, but using AMD modules.

- I move between client and server fairly frequently, and AMD works in both via RequireJS.

- I often share code between client and server, eg, my current app has a shared models module that is augmented by the client and server-specific modules that import it.

I avoid adding methods by a string for the simple fact that JSHint warns about using [] rather than . wherever it can (I think the only time I use [] is for Express' badly named 'static' plugin - 'static' is a reserved word.

Great post. Beyond accepting the existence of people smarter and more talented, I would recommend seeking opportunities to work with them on teams as much as possible. It will help you stay humble, yes, but it will also help you accomplish great things.

And--top secret--a lot of really great people secretly think that they are not as great as others. So you might have a spectacular team on which each person secretly thinks the rest are smarter or more naturally talented.
I'm surprised this took them so long.

I hope Github's new round means they are going to be more responsive to customers. I like the company and the founders and team I know there, but it's been frustrating to have to wait for features like this for months and months.
next up mail.

If you read the text it was "our license was up."

Basically in the first iPhone Apple licensed a bunch of apps from Google to create the iPhone ecosystem, Maps, Mail, Search, video, and one other which I've forgotten. That was when they were friends, now they hate each other, so Apple has been building its own replacements. And I'm sure when the license renewal came up Apple took a harder stance.

Youtube and the mail client are pretty much the last things to go. That was part of the reason I was surprised Apple didn't pick up Sparrow. When Google got it I said "aha" this will be the Mail tool from Google that you can get in the App store when Apple dumps them off the phone.

True, but if you can do 1m fps on earth[1] and the MRO travels at a speed of 133,879.68 inches/second then you could take 7.4693934 pictures per inch even if you had a rolling "scanning" shutter. I know that would be way to much data for them to process, but for the 172 seconds from parachute deployment to touchdown you could have one amazing high speed film.

I am sure NASA can fund a high speed camera for MRO... or do we need to crowdfund that one as well... [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg

Sorry, that's not exactly what I was talking about.

I meant to say if you simply say "I'm sorry officer, I don't consent to this search", then they bring a dog, find a "hit", search, find something and arrest you.

I wonder if the fact you denied them permission to search you in the first place can be used to make things look worse later on in court?

I looked into that a while ago (and a similar one), and it looks like any power produced from the TEC is considered a bonus, and is in the range of 1-5W, probably only enough to charge a phone, etc.

I'm looking to produce a sustained 150W + to charge deep cycle batteries.
I was wondering the same thing. I've never sent one after interviewing someone, and no one has ever sent me one. I honestly don't think it could help, I've usually made up my opinion before they have a chance to do anything. Also, something feels very insecure/desperate about it, like calling someone 30 minutes after a date.

I do always personally thank the person (with a handshake) for taking the time to interview me or taking the time to let me interview them, though. But that's just common courtesy.

The per-organization email settings is actually the best news out of the bunch - now I can stop checking my personal email so frequently at work.

I'm hoping this feature also fixes the long standing problem with github commits via the web interface (merges and minor edits) using the wrong email addresses in the permanent git history - which always seemed like a huge bug to me.

UPDATE: Nope, it hasn't fixed that. Organization repos still use my default personal email address in the logs even after changing the notification routing.
The Transcendent Pain
Ask HN: How to get positive again?
Hi everyone,

I have been lurking here for a while and finally managed to find the courage to ask a question here: How do you get positive again?

Let me explain; I work in IT industry and the project I am working has been going less then a year and all ready we have lots of Java code with, what feels like, hundreds of factories, interfaces, implementations etc. and it all ready feels like we use every design pattern under the sun. Some of me colleagues think it is really great and love Java. They think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I don't. (I have caught the Clojure bug).

Last year I also had a bad performance review in a Microsoft style review system. My skill set didn't quite match what was required at the time, true, but contributed to the best of my ability. So now I am part of a performance review, but guess what, there is no education budget to help me learn the stuff I wasn't so good at and I think the performance review doesn't do anything to address my motivation. I have to do that myself, according to my manager.

On top of that I was diagnosed with MS a few years ago. I inject myself three times a week with Rebif, in the beginning I really really struggled with it and it would take me a long time to do (30 minutes or more). Now I can do it in less than a minute. I have been using anti-depressants for almost two years now and although I feel a lot better I still find it difficult to get motivated and to get excited about (work) things.

So, here is my question to you: How do you get positive and motivated (again) and stay that way? I somehow ended up in this vicious circle and I want to get out of it and enjoy life again.

TIA

I'm not sure how. Refusing to consent to a search isn't evidence.

Officers will tell you that by consenting to a search, they'll look kindly on you when it's time to use their discretion. Maybe if you just consent, they'll suggest, they'll only book you for a misdemeanor. That is, as they say, one of the oldest tricks in the book. Once you're arrested, it's up to the prosecutor to charge you, and their overriding prerogative is finding the optimal balance of "maximal penalty" and "minimal prosecutorial effort".

My reasons relate specifically to email marketing. Off the top of my head:

1) It's difficult, if not impossible, to combat click-fraud. There is no javascript running on the client-side to help, and there is no verification that the ad that was displayed wasn't something like "click me to unsubscribe"

2) Ad content in email is scrutinized more heavily and blacklisted more liberally than any web-based content. It would seem that one mistake would sink the entire ad network and any newsletter that uses the network.
I'm doing it right now as I'm applying to and interviewing with startups and more established companies in SF/SV. Even though my domain seems to be in really high demand right now (data science/network analysis) I'm trying to be gracious, quick, and communicative with potential employers because I want to indicate that I'm that kind of person in a team environment in addition to my technical assets. It seems to be working pretty well so far, especially with smaller shops that are moving quickly. In the words of one founder I spoke with today, "we have a hiring timeframe of yesterday" and I think it is important to show them you are rarin' to go.

As a side note - if you are applying to startups, write your cover letters while sitting in SF/SV coffee shops that are known startup hotbeds. If you strike up friendly conversations with random folks wearing the right t-shirts you'll often get recommendations to apply to places you've never heard of, perhaps with a friendly "in" if you can impress them by being a personable, well-balanced individual.

As a shameless plug, hit me up if you are looking for a data geek or someone who honestly loses sleep over graph algorithms.

Many are incredibly pissed at the payment structures. Take a look: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120622/16193319442/myth-d...

TLDR: Spotify has been accused of barely paying artists, when in fact they pay the labels, who in turn barely pay the artists. But if you search for artists who hate Spotify because of their low income, you'll find plenty of rants.

One final thing, the keyboard shortcut for opening a notification (o or enter) does not seem to work.
I would really, really like per-file watching (or even finer granularity, though I can't imagine the use) In collaborative environments, having github tell you when something has changed without going through the commits yourself would be cool.
tl;dr version - install debian on ARM system, apt-get install haskell and then run it.

Its nice that this is on the $25 RPi but its not exactly news, Chumby, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, ChumbyHacker, SAM9X-EK, ... any number of ARM systems that can boot Linux can often apt-get install lots of cool stuff. It is what makes open source, well open.

Over on the Panda list, and presumably this will start on the Rpi boards as well, are complaints when people try to fire up KDE, or GNOME on their 1080P monitors. Or "I tried to run Apache and it fell over dead!" (try thttpd).

Small Linux systems are cool. Cheap small Linux systems are very very cool. But a 700Mhz ARM chip is only slightly faster than a 700Mhz Intel Celeron and you probably don't run full up user environments there either :-)

For me, the saddest thing is that these systems are crippled by poor video driver support.
This is awesome! I made a Chrome Extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kfhdalekdpifhlndhc...) a few months ago that Stars has completely Sherlocked, but I'm happy for the native support of bookmarking a repo.

I especially liked the first comment about Subversion "anybody can write a simple VCS if they don’t have to make it distributed." It reminds me of my days working on a parallel compiler team. We always used to say, "we can get you answers very, very quickly if you don't mind whether they're correct or not."

Just as a parallel compiler developer must worry about recurrences and data dependencies breaking parallel programs, distributed version control adds a huge level of complexity which you cannot safely hide. However, I agree with the poster that the next major version of Git should clear up several inconsistencies.

(As a side note, some binaries labeled as ASCII in our Subversion repository back then caused massive corruption and shut down all development for days. Having too many assumptions made by your VCS and too few options specified by developers is bad simplicity!)
The final price will be higher ($50.00). Right now there's a significant discount for the beta version.

This isn't intended to be my only product -- ebooks have a pretty vicious falloff in sales after launch. It's a chance to get all my marketing ducks in a row for when I do sell software.
