> If you really want Apple to change, how about NOT developing for iOS? Articles like this aren't really going to make them change their policies.

Articles like this made me avoid Apple altogether and judging by the general sentiment here on HN at least some other people capable of software development have made a similar decision (to various degrees.) I'd wager this article probably has much more power than jwz quietly dumping iOS development.
There's not really any mention of latency or what amount of concurrency is needed to hit the guaranteed level of IOPS. Is it an SSD with very low latency or just ten slow big hard disks striped together?
>We had very many guns per capita by the end of apartheid and people were predicting exactly what you're predicting. Nothing like that happened. The guns were largely destroyed.

There would be violence if guns were confiscated. South Africa had nowhere near the guns, and you had nowhere near the gun culture if all of your countrymen allowed their guns to be taken without serious resistance.

I don't really care to get into a debate about the merits of owning a gun, I'm just trying to point out the * impossibility* in our current culture of banning firearms.

However, I will point out that it's not as clearcut as you say. The statistics for either side are hotly debated. For example the deterrent effect of criminals knowing that citizens are likely to be armed is very hard to quantify.

And yes if someone takes you by surprise a gun will be of little use, but being mugged is not the only way to be attacked. Thousands of homeowners have successfully defended themselves with firearms, and thousands of women have successfully defended themselves from sexual assaults with firearms.
You are right. Although it comes down to the same thing. They are all just synonyms for contracts. ( a liscene is just a type of contract )

And this could very well be a good example of the 1% that would actually be uphold.

If they had your signature, that is. Getting exclusive content liscence without explicit permission? They cant even prove it was you that submitted the content in the first place.

Imagine a store having a sign that they own your bag, whenever you enter. Come on, this will not hold up in court.

Compare certain opensoure companies that require contributions to assign copyright to them. They all demand a real piece of paper, with a real signature.

There's some level of irony in 2 areas:

1) He disses Android harshly, yet ends up complaining about Apple not that much later.
2) He disses Android for "sucking", yet the area he complains about is one where iOS sucks compared to Android.

I think this qualifies as irony: incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result.

While I can sort of see where you are coming from, I think there is something else worth pointing out that does make this at least somewhat Hacker News worthy. Bruce Schneier is a world leader in cryptographic analysis[1]. He is very much a part of the hacker community. He is well known for being quite analytical and to the point in a fashion that other "reporters" are without. I, for one, very much appreciate when he talks about issues of this magnitude, for that very reason, and I don't think I am alone here.

Correct. The us has a homicide rate over 400x (ie. not 400%, but 400 times) the gun related homicide rate of Australia, where there are far tougher gun laws in Australia. Some may consider that acceptable, or say that knifings in Australia are significantly higher (which is not true), but the fact is that the US has a poor record of gun related homicides.
Good point, and perhaps the reason they're taking some time to roll it out.

Google themselves recommend 384 MB of RAM for ICS. Since Raspberry Pi has a pretty powerful GPU, I hope they bring Jelly Bean to it, too, for a smoother experience.
Alright. That sounds very anti competitive. And if they truly have a monopoly likely illegal as well.

I really wish, we had proper laws to deal with all these vendor lockin tricks. Its as if the free market, without proper regulation just ends up promoting innovation in loopholes that give an unfair advantage.

Everyone wants to be a cable company these days, and be selling access to customers. Instead of contributing something of actual value themselves, they just want to tax others when they do. Hijack the customer, and be the middle man.

They all essentially implement the same bussiness model as the mob.
Good question, but perhaps it's shorthand for "your password generates a hash matching that generated by passwords found in various stolen password lists in circulation".
Most Rapsberry Pi's have 256 MB of RAM. Only the initial batch had 128 MB I think.
Best of all: observe users use products. (ie. do usability testing.)
This is why I hope they will port Jelly Bean to it as well, so it doesn't stutter anymore.

>When he said Android sucks he presumably evaluated a number of attributes of both iOS and Android and concluded that iOS outperforms Android in those he cares about. He's now finding out the hard way that "openness" may have been an attribute the importance of which he underestimated.

No irony.

It would only be ironic if he had said that without knowing that the iPhone "sucks more" in regards to openness --but he made the above statement fully knowing the iOS situation re: openness.

He is no RMS --it's not like he's gonna use a sucky (according to his tastes) mobile OS just because it's open.

Doesn't make much sense to use an inferior (to your tastes) phone platform just because you could add your own apps to it. Except if your primary motivation for having a phone is tinkering with it.

God says...

15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an
atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance,
both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the
stranger that sojourneth among them.

15:30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born
in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that
soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken
his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity
shall be upon him.

15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they
found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

The other part of this report - the focus on universal access to 2 Mbps broadband instead of higher speeds in cities - I think is wrong. It assumes that you can't have both, and it also assumes that 2 Mbps is good enough for everyone, whereas in fact it's ridiculously poor for anyone in a modern society (we should be aiming for 1 Gbps minimum in cities).

Edit: One of the comments on the Reg article[1] points out that there wasn't a single engineer on the committee.

The characterization of it as "luck" is Zamudio's, who referred to it as such repeatedly, in multiple interviews on multiple occasions, not my own, so I fail to see how it could possibly be insulting to call it "luck". He seems to believe that only luck kept him from making a significant mistake, and he can imagine it just as easily having come out the other way in a split-second wrong reaction.

This title is incorrect on several levels. Yet again the Reg mangles details.

1) In the UK "broadcast" can mean over the Internet. It's a term defined in a couple of tv laws.

2) There's a difference between "terrestrial digital broadcast" (what the article is talking about) and other forms of broadcast; eg satellite, cable, etc.

3) No-one is asking for "broadcast" tv to end. The Reg article quotes the committee:

> "We recommend that the government, Ofcom and the industry begin to consider the desirability of the transfer of terrestrial broadcast content from spectrum to the internet and the consequent switching off of broadcast transmission over spectrum."

Weirdly that quote comes just after the Reg manages to give an incorrect summary:

> Rather than take up vital electromagnetic spectrum, TV should be delivered exclusively over the internet, the House of Lords' Communications Committee concluded.

Well, no, they're only talking about switching digital terrestrial tv to the Internet. They're not talking about cable or satellite tv.

>America obviously needs gun control and I don't particularly care if it takes talking about massacres or gangbangers to get there.

What is it about American gun control in particular that causes Europeans/South Africans/Canadians/Australians to care so much about what goes on in another country?

If it were just about saving lives you should get much more upset about the smoking rate in china, or parts of europe for that matter.

For instance you won't find me insisting that Switzerland pass harsh anti-smoking laws because I think they should, regardless of what their citizens want, just because they have more smoking related deaths than we do.

>No one can argue against there being a correlation between number of guns and number of gun related crimes.

Actually there are plenty of examples of countries where that doesn't hold.

For example our gun ownership is much higher than any country in the top 20 for intentional homicides.

And Canada, Switzerland, France, Sweden and Norway have a very large amount of guns, but very low homicide rates.

Should Canada get rid of their guns as well? They have half the guns, but far less than half the murders. If guns were causing homicides what explains all of these anomalies?

In fact from comparing the wikipedia list of countries by intentional homicide rate to countries by gun ownership, I can see no obvious correlation between the two.

"I still don't understand the desire for Android on non-touch devices. At all..."

I have personal experience with this. My old asus eee 1000 netbook is now an android laptop running ICS. Check out android-x86.org. Its free and easy to set up.

It works. It works Very well. I've got a huge catalog of apps, it does what I want it to do, exactly like my phone. Basically whenever I'm doing something on my phone where I wish I had a bigger screen and a keyboard and better sound... Oh wait I do have such a thing, its called my android laptop. Admittedly 99% of the time its running a SSH app connected to something very big and far away, and a music streamer, so I don't "have" to run android, but it seems by far the simplest way to do what I want.

Also windows is not ready for prime time, as my son's virus/worm/toolbar encrusted desktop shows. That machine is about to become a hackintosh or failing that process, the worlds fastest android desktop...
>There's some level of irony in 2 areas:

That a platform sucks doesn't mean that it cannot have some strong points compared to some other platform.

Is it "ironic" if I say: "The North Pole sucks as a place to live", and then move to Miami and get a sun burn? Does that fact suddenly make the North Pole any more habitable?

However, there's one major problem with Jitsi: It seems not to be available for iOS while Skype is. Sure, security has its price but an instant messaging and VoIP software is pretty useless if you cannot use it on the go.
I'd think so too, however I'd be too paranoid to publish this. Actually I haven't published a similar thing I made myself not too long ago.
Only it's a different thing that attracted him (iOS non-suckiness as a mobile OS) than what is hurting him (it's non-openness).

Nope - as batista points out, it only would have been ironic had jwz elected to develop for iOS because he thought the Android app store policy sucked, to find that the Apple app store policy sucked more. Which is not the case here.

It falls into the "shit that will bite you in the ass one day" category. It's about engineering quality, and it goes all the way down to the stuff we don't see.

Given Digg's history, it's a bit of a red flag. However, it all depends on how this technical debt is managed. If this is an alpha release under the heading "release early, release often" and the tech debt is known, there's nothing alarming about it. But if this is truly considered a final product than it makes you question how capable these people are to revive Digg.

Either way, some of these issues suggest simply a lack of skill/knowledge rather than deliberate tech debt. That's not a good sign.
There's pros and cons, you've highlighted the pros of removing delimiters. Some cons...

1. Cutting and pasting code means we have to manually re-indent every line when it's required. We can't just let a formatter do it.

2. Tabs in the code has better be prohibited by the lexer.

I actually think there's room for a language which allows either all delimiters OR all indentation OR anything in between. An IDE can easily convert code written in one style into the other. Haskell is a good experiment in this.
How Lion Taming Works
That is a good point, it wouldn't really, not if a broadcaster tries to adopt the same model as TV - that is to broadcast messages. Perhaps by using some peer to peer technology? Or by caching copies of the video through out the network? There would definitely be problems that would need to be overcome.
I think this should work in the general case however, there would still be problems to overcome, and I can only see it helping internet connection speeds.
Nice idea, but I can't see this happening for a long time to come, for the fundamental reason that we simply don't get the required bandwidth to the premises.

I live in a reasonable sized city in Scotland, and can't watch iPlayer streaming because we don't get the bandwidth (5km from the exchange...). FTTC will help, but its never going to have the reach of the wireless transmissions of broadcast TV (Highlands and Islands for example). Even worse is that with a massive number of new houses going up in this area, they aren't putting any "next generation" communications infrastructure in - meaning to get FTTP or even FTTC they will need to dig the pavements up in future, which is horribly expensive, and thus happens very slowly (if at all).

Until we have a method of delivering high speed broadband over the current twisted pair, or power lines (or any other existing infrastructure), this simply won't happen.
Let's be fair: this is a 6 week old project to reconstruct Digg from scratch. In another 6 weeks most of these HTML problems will be gone.

Also, I'm pretty sure they will figure out how to rescue those 14M 404s
For whatever reason, my intuition suggests this is a clear sign that Craigslist won't be bothering us much longer.
Many people would prefer a guaranteed 2Mbps that they can use all the time, rather than the advertising lies of "upto 30 Mb" - which is usually less than that, and which is then throttled if you use it for more than twenty minutes a day.

While 1 Gbps is a nice aim to have (and if you're putting fibre in you may as well put in extra, you don't have to light it right now) most people would be fine, now, with 5 Mbps.

2.5 Mbps is fine for YouTube (etc) and acceptable for BBC iPlayer tv.
