Yup, this mission has been in the works for ~10 years so I would imagine that they chose the specific sensor at least 6-7 years ago.

Also NASA is notoriously risk averse (for good reason). Apparently it is very common for them to rely on old but proven technology. Some of this has to do with risk aversion, but I imagine some of it also has to do with budget. It pains me to think what NASA could be doing with 10x more money.

What usability issues were introduced by using XFCE?
It would shock me if they didn't have separate sections to account for just that. They (hopefully) aren't going to alienate the over 40 million user base they have when currently everyone is expecting to see games there. Productivity related desktop applications will not make sense to a large chunk of those users.
I think he took the wrong message away from his art teacher as I was taught the same thing.

But it was in regards to representing realistic things with paints. As he says shadows usually aren't truly black and painting with a dark blue as your darkener is usually a better idea.

You can use black but when you use it in paintings to darken colors or for your regular darks it regularly stands out to the viewer, black is supposed to be used in very limited quantities in artistic works. (Hell half the time people recommend not buying black paint when starting out but to mix other colors to create a black looking color[1])

This doesn't really switch over to apps and other things as they don't represent any realism but instead try to allow us to focus on specific things which black can be useful.

His example image with a big black square dominating the others is a terrible example and would be better if the bottom was a representation of the layout with black as the darkest color instead of the lighter greys and grey-blues. And what we would see is more contrast but little change in distraction.

They really aren't even going head to head with Microsoft, since the Windows 8 app store is only for "Metro" apps and this will only be for regular Windows apps.

The real danger for Valve is that people will release games for Metro instead of Steam, this is probably them trying to hedge against that.

I am a Content ID publisher - the point of it is, if you sign up with YouTube as a partner, you commit to not upload content that you didn't produce (in so many words).

So in an ideal world, every piece of content from a Partner would be unique and original, and Content ID would work as intended.

The key is - 100% unique and original - it's not original if it's 2 anchors introducing a clip of the Mars landing.

The problem here isn't just YouTube - it's partners that are uploading content that they did not entirely create.

The system only works if people cooperate; if news orgs contribute original content and claim it (and other uploads) everything is ok - the problem is that news orgs are just dumping content on to YouTube without thinking about that.

We accidentally published a movie review to YouTube and CID claimed it, and for the next 3 months I was constantly releasing claims, until I finally unclaimed our own movie review completely to stop the matching.

TL;DR - publishers are very much at fault, as much or more as YouTube is.

The fact iTunes needed "Apple Application Support", and ran on Carbon, made me think as a Windows user it wasn't changed much from the Mac versions.

I was on gnome classic for a couple of months. I am trying unity for the next few weeks. I think the major issue for me is:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1027949

Basically, the unity bar is crowded due to apps on other workspaces. Also, switching between windows of the same app is slower (I think I can deal with this issue though).

Performance-wise, gnome3 is snappier than unity (compiz kind of sucks).

On a related note, if you want a combination of speed and cryptographic strength, SipHash fits the bill:

It's a cryptographic MAC that's almost as fast as MurmurHash. It was designed to be used in hash tables, to protect against denial-of-service attacks from people trying to cause a lot of hash bucket collisions.
Indeed. The incredibly vague titles on HN combined with vague articles are a source of frustration to me. I thought this was just TechCrunch where you get listed via git, but you helped me see what's going on.

While I've no idea of the other guys situation, "suggestions" like this really boil my blood.

It's elitest, rude, and completely ignores a real issue many people don't have a choice but to put up with.

TapIn.tv (YC S12) Brings Instantaneous Live Video Streaming To The iPhone
I am not in Silicon Valley nor connected to any technology companies.

I know of a number of people within my own circle that refuse to use Facebook or Twitter due to privacy concerns. I have heard a growing number of stories from people concerned about protecting themselves and their friends, families from the potential down sides to an over-shared life and deleting or abandoning accounts due to those concerns. These are not people inside of the echo chamber on Hacker News or the technology field or Silicon Valley, these are people in retail, in investments, in hospitality, education.. from all walks of life.

Facebook (as an example) wants to become an identity service. They are selling themselves on their ability to authenticate identity. It is impossible to delete a facebook account, and attempting to do so will merely ensure that you are the only one without access to the collected data.

I reiterate the point that "in the future" people will see $50/yr as a bargain for privacy and data control. My first thought when seeing App.net was "awesome idea.. 18-24 months too soon, especially at that price point."
I think you think its a lot farther than it actually is.

My estimate would be about a mile.

I was under the impression those were rougue officers. The city is not going to defend them --tho their union is, but that's wat unions do, they represent their membership vigorously.

That's to say, they did not represent departmental policy and being such is not a "double standard".
The guy admitted to having fabricated large chunks of the show, and yet passed it off as true. What mud did Apple's PR throw?

There's all kinds of truthful and fair things you can say about Apple's (and pretty much every other electronics manufacturer's) operations in China that deserve to have attention drawn to them. Or you can embellish and make up some stuff and call what it is - fiction (inspired by real events!). Making up shit and calling it true is the worst of both worlds.
Valve manually reviews all the apps. I assume the process is fairly similar to Apple's app store.

30 APIs To Look At When Planning Your API
1)Maybe whatever events that led to them doing this didn't exist 2 years ago.

2)That seems like more reason to have an app store as you can weed that kind of stuff out.

They will use Steam Greenlight a community driven process to vet apps for inclusion. Basically you submit and if the community wants it they get it.

3)Since most PC users will be on Windows 7 and XP for a while after Windows 8 is released there will still be a huge market for Steam even if by some miracle RT just took over.
Do you feel that in this case the charges of sexism are legitimate?
Second that! My huge frustration with usesthis was to manually note down the software people used, since you're designing the same idea, definitely get this from teh start.

The company logos are huge, why not have more in a row rather than only two.

Usesthis has photos of the person being interviewed, you can have a nice picture of the workspace of each interviewed company. This will give a more personal touch than just logos.

Why limit yourself to just software? Ask them what catering firm they use (if any), hardware, where they got their furniture, where they get their business cards made, etc. This will give you more chance for ad revenue.

Great idea and nice page design, good luck!
The offline mode only works well when you are online and you know you will want to use it offline next time.

If you're already offline, you're screwed. I remember once having to connect up my phone as a modem just to launch Steam so I could start it online, then switch offline.
Yes. It's the designers whose jobs are devalued because although they have created something of immense and enduring worth to society, their value to a (single) organization is much less.

That said it's a complex issue and patents have historically never really covered designers (look at the history of the motorcar, the plane, photography, architecture, etc.)

Also the iPhone is probably the exception - it actually did make a huge amount of money before being copied. Most design projects are far more marginal.

What a great, simple API.

Does anyone know of a service like Chute that allows the user to resize/crop the photo after uploading, without my site having to get involved?
In my mind, this piles on the reasons why Steam should really be spun off as a separate business from the game-making mothership.
For me, I don't care if it's a bubble. I'm not going to stop using Twitter any time soon, I don't think - but I'd love to have another network that's full of the people who will self-select to join this. Ultimately I think they'll end up driving usage for a lot of other people, too, and I'll bet that's his strategy, at least in part.
They may be concerned about fragmenting their ecosystem since virtually no apps will be "cross-platform" between Android and the desktop without a significant rewrite.

I worked on this app. We picked a minimum level that seemed to make sense after looking at usage data. We have gotten some feedback that people want support for older devices and we might do that, depending on the development and testing effort.
Valve does the "cloud" right. Everything is local but on the cloud as backup if needed.
The thing with projects/apps/sites is that there's a threshold of time before it's considered passe. It's not logical and we in turn waste a lot of time and resources reinventing the wheel but that's the truth of the matter.

I can't shake the feeling that this initiative suffers from the worst of both worlds. It's not entirely open AND it's a paid service.
Looks pretty boring around there. I hope they can find something interesting somewhere around that area. I read that over the whole mission the rover is supposed to drive only ~20 miles, so there better be something interesting to observe :)

I also hope to dive into how to spot quality clothing, when it's a good time to splurge on certain items, etc. Hope this helps!
What I don't understand is, Canonical has a big opportunity to serve the entire Workstation market. But what do they focus on instead, jumping on the mobile/tablet bandwagon. Do they honestly believe they are going to be a major player in that field going up against, Apple, Google and Microsoft?

If instead they'd focused on the Workstation market, which currently isn't really catered to by anyone serious, they could have got them selves into a nice little niche.
I read it as an honest question, not ridicule.
The Windows app store will be Windows 8 only on the desktop so Steam can serve the hundreds of millions of users on the older versions. Also, what marketplace comparable to this offering exists for Windows?
> Today, Ryan Singel, the editor at Wired's Threat Level
> blog responded to my blog post, but incorrectly frames
> my criticism as if it were solely directed at Quinn
> Norton and her coverage of Cryptocat.

Considering about half of your original article was strictly discussing Norton's coverage, I can see where he got that idea. Then your original piece includes this bit:

> It isn't clear why Norton felt it wasn't necessary to
> publish any dissenting voices. From her public Tweets,
> it is however, quite clear that Norton has no love for
> the crypto community, which she believes is filled
> with "privileged", "mostly rich 1st world white boys
> w/ no real problems who don't realize they only build
> tools [for] themselves."

That's an attack on the author, don't you think? You just implied she neglected to include any criticism of the tool because she hates the crypto community. Not only does this illustrate your lack of understanding the concept of privilege, but it's rude and unnecessary, so I don't blame Ryan for taking offense.

For starters, Quinn wasn't trying to bury facts— the paragraph about how Cryptocat is an experiment is directly above the screenshot of the app, so it's fairly noticeable.

Second, your section titled "On the issue of privilege" doesn't actually talk about privilege. It talks about how two white men were stopped at the border to the US and one who had some of his devices seized. Her tweet was stating that maybe tools made by white men in first-world countries might not be able to adequately address the needs of less fortunate individuals under oppressive regimes.

So sure, it's great to call out projects that seem Too Good To Be True™, but multiple times you drew attention to Quinn's specific article, and even once needlessly quoted a few of her tweets. I don't see that attention paid to any other reporter, so Ryan's rebuttal is mostly on point.

As we continue to travel up (down ?) the layers of abstraction from actual files in a filesystem to "pipes between dropbox and box.net[1]" it will be more and more difficult to maintain any bearing on what is yours, where it's at, and how to use it.

Fast forward a few years from now when half of these players no longer exist, the other half have either been absorbed ("Dell Home Storage, powered by DropBox!") or have "pivoted" because they never made money in the first place (you know damned well that someone inside of dropbox is scheming up some "social" integration on a whiteboard).

Another question: Would the market even be able to absorb so many out-of-market puts? One of the fundamentals of every exchange is that ever buyer needs to be connected with a seller. When you're that far out-of-market, would enough people have even been willing to trade with you that you could have completed the trades?

It's counterproductive to bathe ourselves in outrage over mistakes that cannot be rectified when there are problems today that could be solved, or at least improved on, by calm diplomatic negotiation, if either side could distance themselves from their hurt feelings long enough to cool off a little and be realistic. Getting everyone riled up over the injustice of it all pushes this process into the future and benefits no one.

> I guess they look analogous? If you squint?

Feelings have a way of being irrational, but ignoring them exacerbates problems rather than solving them.

> I mean, for one thing, saying that establishing Israel was a mistake is not the same as saying that Israel should be dissolved.

No, but it doesn't bring anything to the table either, other than to make things emotionally charged and raise the stakes.

> Finally, while it clearly would not work to dissolve Israel at this stage

The idea that dissolving Israel was ever on the table is absurd. You can't just march into someone's country and dissolve it because you don't like how it was founded.

> the problems with that plan do not significantly intersect with the problems of genocide.

I'd like to know how that could possibly be true. It's quite a stretch for me to imagine that when the leadership of Israel's enemies call for "the Zionist entity" to be pushed into the sea they have something else in mind.
Native and very nicely implemented too.
Fragmentation of providers in markets can indicate that consumers see the product as a commodity.

Storage is becoming more and more of a commodity. It's not a good or bad thing, it just means that storage providers might benefit by adopting strategies that work in other commodity businesses.
