Well. To play the devil's advocate - when you listen to what Kim Dotcom says, it sounds like he has hell of a security on his place. In that light, the operation was not that overblown - especially when the officers couldn't know the exact details of his security.
This looks cool! But instead of having to drag things around, I feel like just buttons (or keyboard combinations) would be nicer to move cards between categories.

I am going to try using the free tier for a while, might come in handy for school :)
Cards are likewise unpopular in Greece. You can usually use them pretty much everywhere, but almost nobody does.
Very interesting, thanks! I knew something like this had been trialled in South Korea, but wasn't aware of the Tesco connection - the video clears it up though Tesco is brands itself under Home Plus in South Korea.
> If Kim had trigger happy guards like that, that alone would seem a little suspicious. Who was he afraid of?

Afraid of exactly this scenario where one early morning, heavily armed men were storming his home where his wife and kids were?

I'd have been terrified.
TV news in New Zealand spent a whole 10 minutes on the same story. That would be an unprecedented level of detail on an American news program.
No, these are all walkable.
The user is scrolling one long page, not navigating between 'pages'. Having entries inserted into the history while scrolling seems very counter-intuitive to me.
You presuppose that hostility is necessary to conveying a point. There are many ways to get a point across.
Alarm-Buttons and panic rooms are not so uncommon and often installed in houses of much-more low-key persons then Kim Schmitz. A family friend purchased a house (not a mansion, just a bigger house in a suburban neighborhood) here in germany that was formally owned by a CEO of a mid-sized tech company. And there is a panic button in every room, as well as a hidden room. Why should such a system be uncommon in, from what I remember, the biggest mansion in NZ? I guess it was already there when he bought the place.
This is quite possibly one of the coolest Python scripts I have ever seen. I'm going all the way to Hollywood baby.

Is this just for Starbucks US stores or is it for all of North America?

If it's just for US stores then the title should probably be amended. Being a Canadian, I've never seen a merchant using a square device.
Responding to Wired's ad hominem hatchet job
I wonder whose lobbying dollars we have to thank for this law.
The whole J - I thing is something rather European I think. Here in Europe some consider it distinguished and hip... It's of course debatable whether that validates the decision, but it might be an explanation. Kind of a back to the (typographic) roots thing.

Personally, I don't care for it...

The rest, yeah, I agree with you. Get someone that speaks the language to spell and grammar check.

Text from the post:

Wow now I'm really getting angry over this Content ID disaster from +YouTube regarding the Mars landing. On Sunday night I hosted a live broadcast with contributors from CTTechJunkie.com and NASASpaceflight.com to watch the landing live. We brought in footage provided by NASA, including their live feed of the landing. NASA footage is released into the public domain and can be freely used by anyone.

I just came home to my inbox filled with dispute claims from no less than FIVE news organizations claiming this footage as their own. BS. It's mine. And now Youtube says it might start running ads against content I created and handing that money over to these crooks who are essentially bigger players with the ability to claim rights to content they do not own.

The worst part is that Google clearly is not requiring these "rightsholders" prove they actually own the content. But it's somehow incumbent upon me to prove my innocence. This is outright theft of my content - plain and simple.

If anyone from YouTube is listening, this needs to stop. It's completely unfair that me as a small content producer gets screwed out of revenue like this.

You can watch the broadcast here: CTTechJunkie Mars Coverage - Live!
As a non American this is quite amazing to me. Couldn't that easily be used against someone in order to get to their valuable IP? Who decides what is relevant for the suing party to see and what not?
I'm an Amex user who has a second card in my wallet, but I avoid giving business to stores that don't take Amex. I feel like it's a sign that they don't understand me, and don't want my business.
People in the comments are claiming it is "Feedback". How many of you would critique that presentation that way (like in the comments) to the designers in person?

There is a whole world of difference between:

"Hey, did you consider this and that." and "What you have done is rubbish. You did not think"

For heavens sake the presentation ended with "And here we stop. But, hopefully, the discussion begins." http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/

If it was that bad, then you do not upvote it. if it was good enough for a discussion (upvote), then discuss politely.

Not once in the comments did I see an alternative suggestion. even it it was entirely different from what was proposed. It was all condemnation.

At least we can agree Wikipedia can be improved, they made a suggestion. If you cannot constructively improve on what was proposed, then you can avoid polluting it. Or better still propose your own suggestion.
According to this article, Apple managed to get the article admitted as evidence yesterday.

ROSA Marathon 2012: first-ever usable LXDE distribution
As we know the entire thing was a staged PR-move, to show them filthy pirates what they're getting themselves into ("We will track you down and get you anywhere!").

The overblown Raid was likely part of the script - or it happened out of anticipatory obedience.

Try to see the positive in it; old money in the media mafia is literally kicking and screaming by now. They're in their death struggle.

After this public humiliation it seems unlikely they will be able to pull similar nonsense at such a scale again. It must have cost them a fortune to pull those strings, and not only are they running out of fortunes, but the involved puppets will probably also ask double next time, due to the now obvious risk that something might fling up and stick to their name.

because if you are really a coder you prefer negative feedbacks than a false confidence. Even though it is yet socially unacceptable, social rules are stupids.

You cannot earn any glory in publishing your code if people don't tell the truth. To be pleased by one «I love what you do», you should ready yourself to get a couple of «you are doing crap». Coders are not expected to publish good code at first, they are expected to improve their work through sincere feedbacks. That is our culture.

Social norms are unproductive when it comes to work in cooperation.

The fact that Asperger (sociopaths) are 10 times more prevalent in coding expertise might not help.

Excellency in coding is an aristocracy that needs no excuses and don't fear critics. You shall not fear the fight if you believe in your creation, because good design can stand the assault of the best criticisms.

Social norms are only their to protect a hierarchy of status. Truth protect the hierarchy of competence.

If you are just a hipster searching for a social status based on consensus then flee for this is war against you. THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!

What, in your eyes, is a better indicator of hacker news liking or not liking something? Is it the over 400 points or the stream of hate coming at them in the comments?

Sometimes these redesigns reek of audacity, sometimes they're just not done very well. In any case, hostility is not necessary to make that point. The situation is not so dire that we need to be mean to someone to tell them we don't like something. It's hard to share what you've done with the world, and it's even harder when many people from a community you respect will shit on you in the case you overlook something.

I don't mean to be impolite, but don't try and pass your anger that something has 400 points on hacker news for some sort of tough-love criticism.
OK, I'm confused, what exactly is the challenge here? The creation of a website (one with its own domain) that calculates the number of steps?
My wife actually thinks it is rude to pay with cash or check when people are waiting behind you in line. Cards are the fastest way to pay, you don't even have to sign for purchases under a certain amount.
Entertaining, but if the bar to 'invent' something were to be set this high nobody would get the credit for anything.

Everything is actually just existing stuff that was put together differently.

I was in this exact situation recently with my employer. They offered me equity and capital in order to bring one of my nascent private projects under their roof. After 6 months of "getting the paperwork ready," they offered 13% of the new company. All of the capital went to the old company to pay for my work.

I immediately quit when the terms were revealed but reconsidered after negotiating a bit.

Although it isn't quite what I had hoped for, they are paying me a salary, the work conditions are great, the other partners are entrenched in the industry, and I'm not the one taking a risk. They also removed all strings attached to my stake.
mh yes that makes sense.

i think the reason why i did this, was because initially the preview und market links didn't open in a new window. but you're right, if the user is staying on one page, he doesnt need a 'back' functionality.

thanks for the feedback, i already changed it, going to push it later...

People who keep using that phrase as an excuse to hate on anything designed that they don't like are the truly revolting people.

Stifling discussion, silencing opinions, and perpetuating engineer-elitism.
We are, after all, humans. Not machines. Our goal may be to remain civilized, yet we sometimes succumb to our raw emotions. Hackers are a weird bunch (I know, because I am one). We see ourselves as logical, prudent, and fact based. In reality, we are as emotion led as any other individual. Biggest difference is that we work with machines. A machine cannot (yet) get angry or offended. And when the day they are able to do so, I will no longer will be able to write code without being sued by the computer I'm programming. Alas, I'm not defending any behaviour. Just stating something we forget. Hackers are people. People are irrational. We are just a bit more logical than other professions, but not less rowdy. Though losing our shit is sometimes the right course of action. :)

Honestly, I didn't find the feedback that terrible--I'm somewhat new here, but if you want carebears you should be over at reddit. I appreciate having a community honest enough to say what it thinks. I'm not sure what your other datapoints are, though?

For what it's worth, I thought it was an interesting and refreshing design proposal, though I did have issues with the way they chose to render logos and use screenspace--it was a bit too kitschy in its minimalism.
We're doing MalinkoApp.com as part of nReduce. It's been amazing seeing ThetaBoard progress over the last 9 weeks - a lot of hard work has gone in to it, and Clay has been very responsive to comments and suggestions.

With real-time updates it becomes more of a player in the collaborative area - time to start putting it through it paces with our small team I think.
Reminds me when I was at a car factory that manufactured Ford, Mazda and Mitsubishi cars for Africa. They had a model of a car from a different manufacturer at their office. I won't forget the sight of all the doors and hood being open while a number of people were inspecting the inside and outside of the car.
Yeah, but in that case the RIAA/MPAA had sold off the collections rights to organised crime. This is the _cops_.
Remember, the raid was the day after the SOPA Internet blackout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA).
That's a real danger with SWAT raids. IF you've got an already violent subject then making them as confused as possible will tend to make things safer for the SWAT team. But if you're sending a SWAT team in against people who aren't already violent there's a chance the subject will think they're being invaded by criminals and try to fight back. Several SWAT officers die every year because of that. And many more people on the receiving ends of SWAT raids.

So, there's a good reason that the way the police traditionally do things, surround a house and ask the people to come out. The US military actually generally does the same thing with insurgents in Iraq. But no police department wants to be the one that "doesn't even have a SWAT team". And once you have one, you have to use it or else how do you justify it to taxpayers?
Ask HN: What problem isn't already solved in iOS app store?
Hi,
I am student at Georgia Tech studying Computer Science. I have ten days of vacation till school starts and I am bored to death. I want to learn writing iOS application but thing is, every time I start following a tutorial, I give up easily because the final product isn't something I really want. Hence, I am looking for an idea that you would like to see in App store? I am looking for a new problem to solve or a solution that could be done better.
Thanks.
> There are great programmers in this world who can write compilers but who never really groked the web or how to put stuff on it, let alone cool dynamic stuff that works. They may be programmers, but they aren't developers.

But in this case for feature after feature the reason it makes the devices much more similar was that at that stage the iPhone UI decisions made obvious sense. There's a lot of stuff along the order of "we've tucked stuff off in the border somewhere in a color that blends in, but we need to make it bright and put it in a noticeable position" where the iPhone was a good example of UI done right but where the same overall direction could be had by looking at any number of other products (and not just phones either).

I've not read the whole thing, but I've not seen any clear examples where they've had lots of choice in how to make things better without making things more similar to the iPhone. Now that's an impressive testament to the quality of Apple's UI design, but most of it is "obvious" - the problem isn't that it's hard to figure out that you'd like a "previous" button to go with a "next" button, but that it takes a lot of attention to detail to get this level of consistent quality throughout the product.

And Apple does that well, and Samsung at that stage clearly had not done all that great.

If Samsung had put in that attention to detail, the devices would likely have been a lot more similar from the outset.

1/ how do you make money ? Do you get a commission for each theme you sell

2/ It would be great if you had some info about the theme, for example, when I'm looking for a wordpress theme, I want to make sure its design is responsive. You should add some theme info to your app !

Great job anyway ;)
Starbucks is very good at staying on the cutting edge. They were one of the first to offer FourSquare specials, iTunes credits, and they seem to partner with just about any semi-relevant startup out there.

Securing sensitive private information in a Cloud
After all it would be so nice if Microsoft patented kernel low level algorithms and we would not be able to run these cheap Linux servers in the US.

Or if IBM patented them first in which case MS and Apple would not even exists, long live software patents.

Sorry for the sarcasm.
Here's what's in it for Starbucks: Square's cheaper.

Square loses money on transactions below $6. The reason is for the sake of simplicity they waive the per-transaction fee that Visa/Mastercard charges them and just charge a flat percentage of 2.75%. But even though this is a relatively high percentage, it's not enough to recoup the cost of the per-transaction fee at low transaction sizes.

Take a $2 coffee charged to a Visa credit card. Visa charges Square 1.76% + 6 cents, or 9.5 cents. But at 2.75% Square only collects 5.5 cents.

So even if Starbucks was already paying wholesale Visa/Mastercard rates, they'll save 4 cents or more a cup thanks to Square's "simplicity subsidy".

Now multiply that by a few billion cups. Starbucks saves millions, and Square is happy to pay it to drive their growth into the stratosphere.

Thats ok. What are your thoughts on this defence approach, is it something you have seen used before?
We could save ourselves a lot of back-and-forth commenting by understanding that it doesn't matter whether this (or any) document on its own is damning or a smoking-gun. What matters is the totality of the evidence. That's what the Jury will consider. Saying "this just looks like a competitiveness analysis" is missing the overarching point. And the same will hold true for evidence introduced by Samsung.
