Why not guarantee they won't extradite him to the US?

Well first of all, either an arrest warrant is valid or it is not. If valid, why do they need to bribe someone to obey the law? Sure, I sometimes give my kids snacks to bribe them into doing something they don't want to do, but I'm not the law.

Second, they cannot promise what their reaction would be. Suppose something impossibly-unlikely like the US has a video-tape of Assange killing someone in the US. The Swedes would then look pretty stupid at having given Assange a no-extradite promise. Now of course Assange isn't a murderer; the point is that the Swedes can't give blanket promises about extradition without actually seeing the facts of the extradition request first.
Do they really list their email as @indigogo.com when the website is indiegogo?
I'm in a driving study right now that installed a black box (plus a couple of cameras) in my car, to see how people drive. The study took care to make sure that the recorded footage and sensor data can't be accessed during any incident; it's encrypted, they resist requests from the police, etc.

In a related note, I can't cross US borders until the driving study is over; the border police are Not Amused at being recorded, and the researchers really discourage trying to cross a US border in the car that the gear is installed in.

“Apple is not able to get transit data”

Anyone is able to get that data. In the US alone, hundreds of transit agencies publish it online in GTFS format. For starters, look at this coverage map: http://bit.ly/gtfscoverage

“The apps should be able to draw the route on the Apple map, add stop/route information, etc.”

I agree, but who's to say that they won't be able to? The first version hasn't even been released yet, and we all know how Apple likes to iterate. Its main focus right now is to not need Google's services anymore and to strip those from the OS as soon as they can.

Well the connection to Israel IS bad, but in this case it's more like a connection to Mossad.

If you can't work out why that's bad, try substituting Russian FSB, Iranian Revolutionary Guards or Chinese PSB for Mossad in the sentence above.

If you still can't work out why it's bad to outsource a security responsibility to a foreign intelligence service, please never get a job in counterintelligence.
Obama's DOJ has convened a secret grand jury investigating Assange under the Espionage Act.

All grand jury proceedings are secret. This is a normal part of the US legal system.

There's a good bit on that: George Carlin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac

"A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff."
The entire idea of charging Assange with espionage against the United States is ridiculous - he owes no duty to that nation. What's next, Russia demanding the extradition of CIA analysts so that they can be charged with revealing Russia's state secrets while working at a desk in Virginia?
I use a razor blade to (a) remove all existing annual stickers from the plate (makes it harder to remove the top sticker intact), and (b) cut an "X" in the new sticker once I've applied it.
Sweden has participated in illegal rendition with the US (and admitted as much). It is naive to assume that if they were prepared to violate their own laws in order to bend over for US interests, that they will somehow worry all that much about following extradition procedures for Assange.

It also means the lack of public charges (the repeated claims is that there might be a secret grand jury indictment), nor a lack of a public extradition request is pretty much irrelevant.

It's not like Sweden or the US announced in advance they planned to illegally take a couple of Egyptians from Sweden and hand them over to Egyptian authorities for torture. But they did.

Incidentally, this is a good reason for Assange to prefer to be in the UK vs. Sweden - the UK seems less inclined to violate their own laws in this manner.

Assange doing his thing via wikileaks is better than 10 diplomats in how he promotes governmental transparency, and more equitable relations between the people and their governors.

Are you willing to categorically claim that there is not now, and never will be, a situation in which someone must process JSON and would prefer to do so with an extremely wimpy chip? And by "extremely wimpy" I mean the same thing you do: clock speeds measured in single- or double-digit MHz, code on something like NOR flash, and maybe a kilobyte or two of RAM if you're lucky.

Sure, it sounds like a bad idea, but it wouldn't be the first time someone has had to do something crazy for compatibility with someone else's stuff.
Hah, I missed that both times. That is in fact what they have on that page. I assume it's a typo.
How many continents are there, really. The answer isn't necessarily 7.

“Remove the ice sheet that covers Antarctica and you reveal it for the archipelago it really is, not the single land mass it pretends to be. And, to complicate matters, the largest of these Antarctic Islands is smaller than Australia. So if you want to keep calling Antarctica a continent, then there’s a bunch of other islands that might want to be continents too. Islands like New Guinea, Borneo, Madagascar, Baffin Island, Sumatra, and Honshu.”

Do the Chinese who might seek asylum also wait until the Court rules against them?
This is my conclusion. There was a period when they were making a lot of noise about how they were making Flash "touch friendly", releasing Air across all the platforms, etc. As time went on Flash became tolerable (and useful!) but never really "good" and I suspect the real killer was that Adobe started to see dire feedback in their sales pipeline because people were prioritising iPad and Adobe could not offer a universal solution. Then I think, as others have said, Google decided Flash support was hurting Android instead of helping it (once you have critical mass, cross platform tools become a competitive disadvantage instead of the reverse) and probably told Adobe they were on their own and that was enough for them to decide to kill it, and killing it swiftly and making money from people forced to convert was better than killing it slowly.

I do think they really tried, for a while, but it just didn't work.
Interesting work. My own JS stego tool uses a similar technique, though I implemented encryption and message scattering as well:

I hadn't planned on posting any articles to Hacker News at first, but after I wrote this blog post (mostly just to distill my own thoughts) I realized that it might be of interest to other people, so here it is!
That's reasonable.

I suppose it just seems odd that someone would think to themselves "lets plan out how to ticket someone and then issue a cease and desist" without doing due diligence to ensure that they even need to do any of it.
> I never said that. Quote me where I said that. You can't.

I never claimed you did say that. But you introduced the notion as something "one could argue", and the only thing I'm attacking is that notion, not you personally. That's more than you can say for yourself, incidentally.

That you took it personally says far more about you than it does me. When one puts forward a notion on the basis of "one could argue", sometimes it means it's a notion they're not especially attached to but they think is worthy of consideration. Other times, it means they're evading personal criticism for believing in that notion. In the first case, one would not feel so worked up and personally attacked by having the notion criticized; in the second case, they would. Your reaction, I'm afraid, has given you away.
There's no current legal process against Assange in his home country.

>There again I thought sexual harrasment was a against the law and that carries more weight than any token scoring system that trivialises the offence.

Was that a quote, because sexual harassment is not against the law--it's a civil matter that only applies in certain very specific situations.

Sure there are other laws you could break in the process of sexually harassing someone, but "sexual harassment" is not something you can be charged with.
God forbid someone else make a small bit of money off a sale in exchange for promoting it!
Headline is inaccurate. Seems to only be a restriction on live accounts, not windows 8. If you use a non-live account to log in, there isn't this restriction. I just changed mine to a 24 character password with no issues, but I'm using a domain account.

That said, major portions of what's new Windows 8 require a windows live account to use (the app store, most of the metro apps, etc).

Agreed on this point. The idea is that the comments should have something to say apart from the code. You don't put a footnote in a book to repeat what you just said. You put one in to add a reference to something else, explain a caveat, or otherwise say something useful out-of-band.

In general, in my experience, the people who are most hostile to willy-nilly comments have some of the best commented code. They see the code as written both for the computer and the programmer, and the comments are thus either interface promises, or are footnotes. Most of the people like this I have worked with tend to produce extraordinarily readable code which contains a good number of comments which should be there. But the worst codebases I have worked with hands-down are full of comments.

As for your exception, I agree. I think it's worth flagging such comments however so that the reader immediately knows that this is a special clarification.

The last time I described what my code did, I was using Perl 5.6 or something and was trying to do a method call to a fixed name in a variable package and was having a horrible time. I ended up, I think, using the symbol table directly and the syntax was worse than hairy. It was downright misleading. So I added a comment something like:

# HELP! I can't find a better way to write this. The syntax is .... Anyone have any suggestions?

If you understand you are writing for a human audience and that your comments will be read only if generally useful, then the this leads to both code clarity and comment clarity. It may not always be possible to maintain and hence one would add comments explaining tradeoffs or flagging a section as unclear (and possibly explaining it). But these are avoided as best one can.
Nope, although I did find once you hit a certain number of ID's, it was something over 1000, not sure of exact number, it just ignores the rule altogether.
Is a Microsoft Live account needed to use Windows 8? If so, that's a far bigger WTF than a 16-char password.
They have this system at my local bank branch (I assume it's worldwide though, I hope at least) that you bring in a bag of coins, dump them into the slot and in a few seconds you've got a receipt to get that credited to your bank account. This for books would be great! Books go in, epubs come out!

The second android bundle was fairly dull, I thought; Canabalt is the only one I really enjoyed.

Pretty much every other bundle ever has been awesome, though.
Fair enough I guess. I agree that the games aren't as good as the typical indie bundle games, and not as recent, and it probably won't do nearly as well as the main humble bundles. But they're still pretty good games, and if you've never played them before they're probably worth paying a little bit for them, even if it's less than a typical humble bundle (that's exactly what I did).

I guess the main point I was making was that even though it's called an "Android" bundle, if you're interested in the games at all, and you don't have an Android device, you should totally get it anyway for however much you want to pay. I think it's worth paying above the average (at the moment it's $6.05) for the extra game as well (Spirits), but that's up to you.
I've been using 2012 for 3 months and honestly I'm starting to like the all caps. As the main menu bar it helps to disassociate it with the rest of the however many toolbars you have open. But really, it's one very small part of a massive IDE.

Just to clarify things there is no charge against Assange. Assange isn't accused of any crime.

Perhaps if there were Ecuadorian charges against Assange to which he could plead guilty and thus be a fugitive from international law, which would obviously require he be sent to Ecuador to serve time before going to Sweden for questioning.

I wonder how Britain would feel about it's international obligations under those circumstances.
I think if they wanted to make it happen, they could. They don't seem to care to at the moment, but it's not hard to create plausible scenarios over the next few years where that changes.

Additionally the tools are not necessarily all mutually exclusive. I don't see why you can't put real engineering effort into your database and build the app on top of it in an agile way for example.
Nice post by Andrew Chen. Unfortunately, apps are more like Windows app that require installing than web-based apps which can be iterated quickly and without users taking an action.

The other problem is that mobile apps have no "linking" to benefit from cross-linking. WWW spread like wildfire for a reason - it made it so easy to discover new websites and reduced the friction of installation to zero.

Unfortunately, it's all too easy to intimidate victims of rape into not cooperating with attempts at prosecution. If the prosecutor has no case, though, Assange has nothing to fear going to Sweden. Even if the US could extradite him, they could do it from the UK just as easily as from Sweden.

Also:

> woke up later in the night to find Assange having sex with her, without her consent

By definition that's rape.
Extraditing from the UK would involving a court case. Untrue for Sweden, which has a fast track extradition agreement with the US. http://thepeoplesrecord.com/post/25523258635/swedish-extradi...

The specifics of the individuals and their beliefs don't matter, the ultimate behavior of the institutions is corrupt. Talking about culture and notions of accountability is missing the forest for the trees - any resulting reforms will simply be received as 'what hoops do we have to jump through now?'. The only way to stop the NSA from performing surveillance on everybody is to completely remove their on-books funding and then dismantle the remaining criminal organization.
I'm especially confused as I've lived my whole life in Colorado Springs, and already visited a Tesla museum here several times. After looking up their website (http://teslamuseum.us/), it seems like they are in dire financial straights, and not really functioning anymore, but it might be worth considering the Springs as a site, since Tesla did so much work here.

Also, (shameless plug alert), I'm currently working on a TV show based on Tesla (http://theteslaarchive.com), so if you're into Tesla, it might be worth looking into chipping in a few bucks to that project too.
The answer has been simple for me: start on Android. The ability to push new fixes to live within a few minutes is a godsend. There is still the overhead of getting people to update the app after the download, but this can be easily remedied by in-app notification for a one-touch update experience.

I don't think it's too unreasonable to assume that if you hit product/market fit on Android, you probably hit it for iOS. Launch MVP on Android -> get first 1k guinea pigs -> pivot, iterate, pivot, iterate -> achieve product / market fit -> spend 3 months creating a beautiful iOS app.
I think what would really help if Apple had a Fast Track app approval system where developers could pay $300 to get an update approved within 2 days. Developers could use it as often as they wanted.

This would allow developers to iterate more quickly. Insanely more quickly. And would increase the odds of a startup finding product/market fit before running out of funds.

The current 10 days or so of waiting is really killing the iterative process.

Also, app ratings reset for each new update so developers tend not to want to update as often as to not upset their ratings... at least some developers. They need to fix that by not having ratings reset.
The linkbait title is much more interesting then the actual article. This discussion is also much more interesting then the article.

The obvious thing is that if you are self funding, don't bet everything on one game. No one knows what games will hit and what games won't. The best thing is to swing the bat a few times. As many have pointed out, it seems like these guys should experiment more with what they have. It's not clear at all that their situation is dire.

I wish I could "third" this. I should have clarified that the only thing I find sad about the Tesla Museum being in Belgrade, is that I don't have the time or money to go and visit it.

If I remember correctly, those behind the museum had to work quite hard to get some of Tesla's paperwork back from the U.S. government after Tesla passed away. I have the feeling it was stuff that would have never seen the light of day again if it wasn't for their efforts.

I'm guessing that the implementation uses a 32-bit integer for calculating rule strengths as they apply to a selection. With that in mind, 8 bits used for each variable.. so it would make sense that 256 would overflow into the next value. see: http://www.webteacher.ws/2008/05/19/tip-calculate-the-specif...
That's a nice abstract argument. The facts are otherwise.

If the US shows up with a video of Assange killing someone it will have been made on a Hollywood renderfarm.

We know that because we know that the US is bent on hunting Assange down for political reasons and have set up a secret Grand Jury for this purpose.

When the law says one thing and justice says another, the customary thing to do is to push the law towards justice, not the victim of injustice towards the law.

This could be an opportunity for Google to leverage the strength of their maps product. Why not just ignore the iOS Google maps app? This would motivate me to switch to Android since the Google maps app is in my top three. Perhaps only second to phone and email.
