I remember when CDE was awesome. It was not during this decade, er, century...

I think it would be useful for us to all pause and think about what being on the right side of history looks like. CDE could have gone open source back in the 90s and been extremely relevant and useful. I'm glad it's happened because I think there's value in having an accurate and complete software archaelogical history...but I doubt anyone will be digging into this as a project to do current work on.

"I believe that Apple’s future products are going to change the industry so much, Apple has to put a stop to Samsung now."

I don't understand this arugment. If Apple really has industry changing products in its pipeline, why bother with this? Their advantage would be that they're visionaries leading the way, so it won't matter if others are copying their old products.

However, he tries to predict the future. Does Apple really have industry changing products in its pipeline? They haven't really impressed lately.
Surprisingly, they're using git:

This hurts regarding the history of IMDB which had large portions contributed by volunteers in the early days:

"Users were invited to contribute data which they may have collected and verified, on a volunteer basis, which greatly increased the amount and types of data to be stored or for which sections needed to be added. As the site thereby grew in content exponentially," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imdb#History_before_website

So IMDB is a community effort that has been commercialized.

Would be nice if the current 'owners' would respect the history of their own site and play nice with another community effort in the same field.

> automated compile errors when trying to craft conflicting laws

That just made my day :)

It's actually a good idea, I think. I'm just not exactly sure whether that would work because laws govern the real world and in the real world, logic isn't binary.

However, such laws would at least be understandable for mere programmers ;)

So they check it exactly one dozen times per day? Your correction also doesn't seem valid. Perhaps they meant to write that "We check our mail dozens of time per day."

First impressions are very important; I too find copy errors an indication of an inadequate effort to communicate effectively. However, that doesn't validate a malicious attempt to bash the writer(s) when a simple correction would have sufficed.
What was 'deceptive' about it? Was Samsung trying to get people to confuse its phones with iPhones and buy them by mistake?

edit: it is a serious question - why does the word 'deceptive' apply? Can this not be another Android vs. Apple thing (I do not own either kind of phone)?
Mobiscroll with Zepto.JS
It's pretty neat, I like the ability to view a lot of themes at once juste scrolling.
One minor thing : when using the filter part, if I tick for example "business" then untick it maybe it should come back to "all" by default instead of showing a blank page?

How do you manage the color detection, do you tag it yourself? For Orange, there's one theme that should not be here : the "screen" one but as the theme is based on pictures "wallpaper" changing maybe one of them has orange in it?
AWS Multi-Factor Authentication
Slightly off-topic:

What if they open sourced Open Step? Is that even possible to do? Would that change open source Un*x desktops forever or would no-one care?
Excellent point - Samsung looked at the iPhone design as the definitive source, rather than deconstructing use cases or consumer needs.

Even the icons and color themes are the same on many screens. That by itself shows that Samsung copied Apple in prior product reviews as well. Kinda funny that they still had so many design discrepancies...

Interesting defence from Samsung. Not much else to say about this.
Not having used the API, but seeing that does use movie information (using rotten tomatoes). I think that it's going to be difficult to claim fair use of quite a distinctive acronym in the same realm.

Paying a lawyer for an hour to confirm this will save the author of the API time and effort.

Rename it and move on, be your own brand. There's no need to coattail if you have a great product.

I doubt it. Germans started getting sued for illegal downloads right when DSL grew popular (a decade ago), without any political response. We also have no software patents; we can still (CMIIW) freely share copyrighted works with friends, just not with the public; we can crack what wouldn't otherwise run.

The only part that is so terrible and draconic that everybody knows about it is the GEMA, which is concerned with music and loyalties.

10 tips to make your launch a big failure
I came across this nice blogpost about what is bootstrapping really about.
Have filed a bug report on their support system.
I have no problem with that fact that the IPO was a disaster. As you point out this has happened before and it will happen again.

What I don't like is the FB prospectus was never a true and accurate representation of the company and everyone on the inside knew this, but they failed to tell the public.

And what's worse is these 'well informed' insider investors then illegally used this inside information to make lots of money since they new the IPO was over valued and went short.
While the iPhone was clearly better designed than the Samsung phone compared to there, many of the comparisons seem to be a case of Samsung just assuming that whatever Apple did was better, even though the Samsung version was OK. It's like they took everything Apple did and defined it as being better than whatever they did. Granted, that was in fact the case at least 70% of the time.
Wow, I have so many questions right now

- How did this document get leaked? First how did this get to the courtroom. Did Samsung submit it? If yes I wonder why. It looks rather damaging to their case.

- How did it get leaked to the public?

- Will it be relevant to the case? A UX comparison / evaluation and action items based on those comparison is certainly a smart thing for a software developer to do - however if the UI gets as a result copied 1-to-1 I would assume that Apple has a case under US law. It would be interesting to see a third column with the revised UI and how closely they followed the iPhone's template afterwards.

- Dear god is that Sammy UI bad in the right column. Is that an S1 prototype?
I think you got it mixed up.
oh thanks, good call with the unticking thing. i didn't even notice that.

the colors are tagged by a script. i wrote a scraper for all of these marketplaces, which collects all the data, takes a screenshot, (tries) to guess the main color and uploads everything... so yeah, if there is a huge example picture with the color orange, my script thinks orange is part of the theme. maybe i can deactivate all images for the color guessing part. i have to figure that out. but thanks for the feedback, really appretiate that!
It's important to note (when the article title is pure link-bait) that it's Galaxy S1 that's mentioned.

> Does Apple really have industry changing products in its pipeline? They haven't really impressed lately

There is the oft rumored apple tv (not the hockey puck). Samsung is heavily competitive in the television market. I read (random google search...possibly junk stats) something like 20% of the flat panel tv market, and 50% of the 3d tv market.

I believe they use a timeout to handle infinite loops, but in 1.9.3 it doesn't actually loop anyway, you just get [[...]], and it throws an exception if you try to call a.collapse (or similar).

I'm guessing the problem would most likely be with their version of JRuby.
What offended me the most is their suggestion that the Wikimedia Foundation appropriate the name "wiki". Either they lack awareness that the wiki is a separate invention from Wikipedia or they do not mind language and usage evolving in such a way as to make it hard to explain the history of the development of the technologies and nearly impossible for the inventor of the wiki to get the recognition he deserves.
My bank is a lot more careful then this. I actually called them a few days ago to get a password, and they asked:

* SSN?

* Full name?

* How long have you been with the bank?

* How many accounts do you have?

* Do you have a business account?

* How many business accounts?

* What's the name of the business?

* Have you set up auto-debit?

* Have you set up electronic-debit?

* To what companies?

* What was your last charge on your credit card?

* Do you have any monthly transfers set up?

* For what amounts?

* Do you have any loans?

* Do you own any investment funds?

* Which?

* Have you reset the password before?

* <My security question>?

* How many two-factor auth thingies do you have?

* Serial number on your two-factor auth thingy?

* Model of the above?

Are the questions I recall. So at least not every bank is careless enough to only require you to name a recent transaction.
I used to work at Starbucks (albeit going on 5 years ago) and although I don't have the exact statistics or a perfect memory, it was not a "vast majority". If I had to guess, I'd say probably something like 2/3. Maybe the ratio increases if you count Starbucks gift cards.

Either way you look at it, Square's transaction volume surges with this deal. Good on both parties.
Yes, that's a good way to put it. And a "good" competitive analysis would also analyze Apple's weaknesses, and seek to exploit them. (e.g. turn-by-turn nav, google mail integration, better multitasking, whatever)
> Why is Starbucks (a well known brand) getting a personal post written by Jack, when Square's "goal" is to promote and help small businesses?

Maybe the 25 million Starbucks invested in Square?
It must be noted that many of the recommendations were NOT followed. (I owned an S1 and an S2)

Almost every "Directions for improvement" statement could be replaced with "Do it how the iPhone does it" and still basically be saying the same thing.

Some example "Directions for improvement" statements:

* Phone: Need to modify the call end button on the call screen so that it is a separate large button

* Calendar: The date displayed on the Calendar icon should match the current date on the phone

* Calendar: Need to modify by enlarging the area displaying daily schedule and the font size in order to address the low visibility

* PC Program: Need to [make some kind of change], like iTunes

Picturing myself as a Samsung engineer having finished reading that document, I could quite easily think "they just want us to copy the iPhone as closely as possible" even though the wording in the document itself doesn't explicitly say "copy the iPhone".
I'm genuinely impressed that we, as a society, have already managed to create a 2.31 GB collection of My Little Pony porn. According to Wikipedia, the first episode aired 668 days ago, so that's an average of 3.7 MB per day. Imagine, if you will, a 343 baud modem continuously sending cartoon porn of talking ponies who are friends. This is one of our species' more embarrassing amazing achievements.

What is wrong with Open Motif: http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/ ?
I've seen this argument made in many forms. The short response is: "Google already thought of that."

People will be upset, even outraged, by the first few autonomous car accidents. But as long as they're still legal, they'll be building up a safety record that will quickly surpass what humans can achieve. Google has already invested enough money in the legislative system to prevent laws from being yanked off the books after one accident.

The general form of "People won't like it when machines do X" doesn't have a lot of merit. There are always problems and people never like it at first. Then they get used to it and quality of life improves over time. I'm sure similar arguments were made about the automobile itself.
It sounds like you already know the answer.
Comparing Square to traditional Intuit isn't apples-to-apples. Intuit's GoPayment is a direct Square competitor and has roughly similar pricing: http://gopayment.com/pricing/
"Apple has a purpose for everything it does, including this lawsuit."

OK, this is beyond crazy. Why are some people taking Apple like some sort of Holy Company that does nothing wrong, ever? This is so dangerous.
tl;dr Nope. Bill Gates checks out fine. Gary Kildall's claim of DOS theft could not be supported by modern software forensics.
Of course the iPhone gets it right in every comparison, since the purpose of the document is to list cases where the iPhone is better and the S1 should be improved. Still very impressed by the difference in polish though.
Your first stated assumption is correct, but do not assume that all of Starbucks credit card transactions are processed through Square. Thus, the second assumption is not linear.
I doubt that it would have significant impact. There is already GNUstep which is GNU implementation/clone of OpenStep.
Libre Office uses torrents too.
In Poland, high schools have 1-6 grade scale (6 is the best), but universities have 2-5 scale (5 is the best, 2 is a failing grade). Decades ago, high schools also had 2-5 (or maybe 2-6) scale. I have no idea why the 1 grade is nonexistent.

Awesome news for square. I am very eager to see how this changes the natures of:
1) The Starbucks App - will square replace it outright or will there be an option to use starbucks or square?
2) Paying with a card at starbucks - same registers or new registers with square dongles? Hopefully its a better dongle if so...

PS - Anyone noticed how they seemed to be stepping around the idea of those local businesses being other coffee shops? Craft businesses in the Press Release...like craft coffee shops?

That is a bit of a lie. If you have time to put aside to work on this game before (javascript version) and after (iPhone app), you certainly have some time to earn enough money for a used Mac. And actually you can get a decent used Mac for under $1k these days. For a programmer, with a little bit of work, you can afford this easily.
That is kind of a "milk maid" equation, as we call it in Germany. If the Greeks wouldn't have the Euro, perhaps nobody would have lent them money to begin with. So at least if you advocate countries having their own currencies, you should be aware of that aspect. It's not as if problems (debts) just evaporate with control over the currency. You would have other problems instead.

Ask HN: Best Speed Reading PDF?
I remember reading a fabulous speed reading PDF in December that I had downloaded then. Unfortunately I didn't copy it from my phone and since then my phone has died. The PDF was very similar to Kris Madden's book but a bit more pedantic. If you know of it, I'd love to have the link. I have plenty of time this summer to read it after I get off work.
The article has a misleading title. Nowhere in the document does it state that they should or they will copy iPhone. It is just comparing their usability with Apple's. Quite the opposite, there is a page where they are stating they should differentiate and not look like iPhone's homescreen.
I'd say none of the above. There have even been a few interesting projects done with Ocaml (mldonkey, unison), which is a pretty good choice for system-level programing and has a pretty fast compiler. Also a lot of people are using Erlang for it's supreme concurrency support and stability.

Which is why I don't doubt that there'll be quite a few people using Rust and/or Go. But I'm really not sure whether either of them will move beyond this tier into the PHP/Python/Ruby territory. A framework like Ruby would certanly help, and that can come out of nowhere. But I wonder whether the day of killer-feature frameworks aren't numbered, i.e. whether something like this can happen again.

So I think in the end it comes down to which of the two will do better in the Haskell/Ocaml/Erlang tier. Go has some rabid fanboys and quite a decent designer pedigree, good libraries and a bit of a headstart, whereas Mozilla is ripe with dumped applications and failed projects. So unless they're rewriting major parts of their infrastructure with Rust and actually release stuff, I'd bet on Go.

I'd personally prefer a language with static typing and ADT support, like Haskell or any ML-like one. But Racket (PLT Scheme) would be my second choice - and it is quite popular in overseas (USA) PL research circles. Also, I find it one of the most elegant lisp dialects out there.
Is there any information available on how this works with iPhone? Does the app have to be running in order for the geo-fencing to work? Thankful for any information on this.
Of course it would: in your example, the landlords would be poorer because they would collect less rent. Likewise for service providers. Perhaps you could argue for public services, but for those the government could just lower the fees instead of devaluing the currency.

But thanks to your example I see it has more subtleties: it is also a question who to take the money from. Making landlords poorer might be an easy sell to the majority of the population - if the population would have any idea of what is going on, which I doubt.

Services might just go away if they make less money.
I maintain that the article is inane.

I can't speak for other people, but I'm a lot more inclined to give feedback if there's a simple form available for me to jot down some fast (though thought out) feedback. Talk about a "hassle free" solution!

I am a bit lesser inclined to do so, if the only option is e-mail. Especially if there's no designated e-mail written out (ie. I have to find/guess a e-mail) - but I've done this. It's more hassle.

The chance of me writing out my feedback in a forum? Now we're nearing zero very fast. First thing that comes to mind is; urgh?! I probably have to create yet another account (For some reason, a lot (?) of sites have different accounts for the main site/product and the forums..). Second, oh boy - choosing a topic of my post.. "Yay.. I have no idea who'll read this" - being 'the first one out' on a subject can be quite frightning. This is really a boat load of hassle most often..

Like I started the comment with, this is just how I feel about giving feedback - but I'm of course willing to agree with myself and "bet" that this is possibly valid for a lot more persons than just myself.
