It seems Nokia's misleading "PureView" marketing has succeed as even tech savvy people can get confused into thinking this camera is the basically the same as the one in the PureView 808 smartphone.

It's absolutely 100% not. It doesn't have a high resolution for pixel binning to make those images ultra clear, and it doesn't have pixel binning at all. Also it doesn't have that super large sensor to capture much more light. It has a regular smartphone sensor. This is what made Pureview be Pureview. The new camera is nothing like it. It just adds some stabilization technology, but that's no reason to still call it PureView, other than to mislead people into thinking it's the same as the original.

I also think WP7 looked better than WP8. The small tiles make it look more cluttered.

Or, it's just old cruft that is no longer used. As per datallah's response:

"If you don't look carefully, it may appear that the NSS plugin doesn't do any validation of the SSL certificates, but that isn't the case; the validation is done, just not by the SSL_AuthCertificateHook hook."

"If you look at ssl-nss.c#l454, you'll see that before the SSL connection is considered "connected" from libpurple's perspective, ssl_nss_handshake_cb is called to validate the certificate using the libpurple's purple_certificate_verify functionality."

This is why you don't jump to conclusions, throw out an emotional diatribe, and generally make an ass of yourself when writing bug reports.
Status Chart: Your Professional Dashboard
I'm aware that it will return the right answer, but I was worried that it may look at too much of the url string in order to do so.

Consider the (admittedly perverse) input "test.php?a=1&a=1&a=1&a=1&a=1". At each comparison, the comparator you suggest will look at the entire remaining part of the string.

Maybe duplicate elements are considered invalid input and aren't a concern, I'm not sure. But fixing it is not hard and doesn't require fiddling about with copying strings or adding terminating nulls: just find and remember the parameter length once, and use a length-based comparator.

Not anywhere as much as they should. A few things I do know of:

Clang/LLVM (which has substantial support from Apple) will be the primary compiler for FreeBSD.

Apple's Grand Central Dispatch (libdispatch) has been ported to FreeBSD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Dispatch

The TrustedBSD Security Event Auditing and OpenBSM are based on the Mac OS X BSM audit implementation and donated by Apple.

As well, CUPS has been ported to FreeBSD.

Startup Funeral
Let's see how it sells compared to the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3. Everything else is moot.
The mounting holes alone make this new revision worth waiting for.

It's also nice to see the additional GPIO output which can be used either as an additional I2C bus or used for I2S (digital audio) output. The latter should be very useful for those who want to use the Raspberry Pi as a media center PC as it's trivial to convert I2S to S/PDIF or Toslink (optical).

Finally, I'm glad the GPIOs have been changed to expose the missing JTAG debug symbol. Having proper JTAG support makes low-level development far, far easier.

Rubber-Ducking: RSA
It seems that a big part of the value prop is that 1) it assumes there is some connection in terms of feelings experienced among people born on the same day (essentially a higher-fidelity astrology) and 2) that if you live in a later time zone, you can find out what is coming next by viewing the feelings of those in an earlier time zone. If one assumes that #1 has some truth to it, one has to wonder what will cause people in earlier time zones to use the app, since they don't get to take advantage of #2.

The point of discussing multiple types of jeans was to compare and contrast their demand curves. My apologies if that wasn't communicated clearly.

How Did Anonymous Attackers Steal Apple UDIDs?
Not sure Japan is the best example - suits there, as worn by the salarymen you're talking about, are hardly treated as fashion - they're worn with all the pride and enthusiasm of any other uniform, i.e. not much. Morning on the yamanote-sen is a sea of miserable-looking ill-fitting suits, all seemingly in the same two shades ("boring blue" and "grim grey"), lifeless translucent e-z-care shirts and $5 ties. I haven't had too much cause to wear suits in Japan but when I did a $1500 Hugo Boss and a decent shirt made me feel like frigging James Bond.

Not to say I didn't see nice suits, I saw plenty, just saying that your average sarariman sure isn't buying $4000 bespoke suits and frankly I would doubt $400.

They wouldn't get the same tax dodge though.

European delivery works out because you don't pay new car tax if you buy the car in Europe, drive it enough so it's no longer new (~100 miles or so) and ship it home. This exemption was originally put in place because a bunch of GIs wanted to bring home the sporty little cars they drove in England during WWII.

What are some good "toy problems" in data science?
I know this sounds nuts, but I have a business idea that might be suitable for discussion in this thread.

The idea is to do away with the dealership for anything not related to the actual transaction (they handle financing efficiently, etc.)

Instead, the system relies on individual agents who have parking lots of different cars within a category and across brands. If I were a mid-size specialist, I'd be very family-minded and feature the Accord, Altima, Impreza, etc.

This would allow a customer to make one stop to cross-shop, and they get highly specialized counsel without any (obvious) incentive to sell hard on a certain brand.

The agent then hands off the buyer to the dealer with a fair price negotiated (using various online tools) and the buyer just closes the deal. The agent gets a cut of the sale Cars.com style.

Granted, it's not a highly scalable business, but it could be a worthy self-employment idea (with the upfront capital to do it, or loaner cars from dealerships), and the customer experience is vastly superior.

is a repost of mine to test, feel free to delete. I only posted anon as I have no twitter acount

1) How do I edit an anonymous post once made? Perhaps a cookie allowing editing from the same IP as posting for half an hour? Do twitter log ins get to edit?

2) How is the url scheme going to grow. 26^2 at present. Will it be 26^n automatically?
Google's automatic copyright recognition system is absolute crap. I've spent hours upon hours emailing them different documents showing them that we have the licenses (purchased from the exact company that is claiming infringement through the automatic system) and just get automated responses back. Eventually it gets cleared up, and then 3 months later, the same thing happens again.

Now I've started getting infringement claims against classical music that we are using (that we have also licensed) because a different company owns the license to a different performance of that piece. When I stated we had a license to this piece through another company, it was rejected and the video was removed from monetization. The only way to get out of that black hole was to contact the CEO of the company directly and appeal to him to read the license agreement we had.

I don't have the links handy, but when I started researching this problem (automatic copyright detection and fair use or works in the public domain), I found hundreds of people experiencing the same problem. Google is in a really tough place. Wedged between the typical youtube uploader and the recording and movie industries, this system makes sense. The problem is that all of the well intentioned people are getting swept up in the solution, and now high profile people are showing how broken it is. A system that makes your genuine users frustrated and exasperated does not have a bright future.
Yah, hypothetically there should be more there. Just kept it in there for now to show that "more articles" shows up when you post with twitter. Though I really shouldn't have been so lazy and just written a 2nd article.

And thank you!

Why? I'd rather pay market price + x% rather than the constant $x where $x = max(market price) + y% that "honest" retailers would give me.
Wow, that sounds amazing. Which manufacturer did you do this with? If you're in the US, were the import tariffs and the odd environmental regulations a problem? I assume they can just make you a "US model".
TBH it doesn't ever really look that messy. That's just a marketing photo. Most of the time, it's pretty clean looking and intuitive. A few applications abuse that but they are usually not worth keeping anyway.

You really have to use it for an hour or two to get a feel for how nice it really is.

For reference, WP7 devices are still selling like hot cakes in the UK at least. We've had around 50 people (33% of our workforce) switch to WP recently and I'm watching a lot of them appear in users' hands.

I think it might suck more in the US unfortunately.
Just to put this in perspective, Oracle has just over $30B in liquidity.

WP7 was the beta/transition, then it was WP7.5 that was the transition, now it'll be WP8.

I don't see a lot changing - I've used a couple of WP7.5 devices, they nice, but they're not significantly better, or cheaper than an iPhone, Galaxy S3, HTC One, etc, so they're going to struggle.

I have a "pip install ipython" in ~/.virtualenvs/postmkvirtualenv to make that a bit easier.

My major problem I have is packages using cython or depending on external C header files in some other way. For example, matplotlib and the IPython qtconsole.

For one, I don't even have gcc on servers that I want to deploy to using a virtualenv. but the major pain is finding out what *-dev packages I need to have installed in order to install using pip (if it can be done at all).

I don't think I ever had the IPython qtconsole working from a virtualenv without using system site packages.

Have you considered centering the text in the page? This looks good on a laptop sized screen, but on a widescreen monitor it feels very odd to be so far over with half the screen white.

Be nimble and open minded, learn new languages, watch and discover new technologies, mentor people (don't be a land baron), and most important of all, DBAD (Don't Be A Dick).

The guy you mentor may become your boss, and so might the guy you are a dick to.

In the tech sense, DBAD typically means be nice, and don't be a technology nazi. There is no "perfect" technology for a solution. If the team wants PHP, and PHP works as a solution, DBAD, make it work for the team and don't force Ruby or Java down their throats.
I think this is a fair question - it's hard to see how you could take a Tesla for a test drive if the showroom is located in the middle of an indoor shopping mall. Would they keep a small fleet on-hand in the mall's parking lot?

We die because we are born.

"Our birth and death are just one thing. You can't have one without the other .It's a little funny to see how at a death people are so tearful and sad, and at a birth how happy and delighted. It's delusion .I think if you really want to cry. Then it would be better to do so when someone born. Cry at the root, for if there were no birth, there would be no death. Can you understand this?"

New iPhone 5 Concept in 3D
With Apple’s September 12 media event finally confirmed, graphic designer and video-editing whiz, Sam Beckett (@SamJohnBeck), is back this week with a stunning, visual prediction of the features we could see announced alongside Apple’s next iPhone, when the smartphone is eventually revealed by the California, CA company – next Wednesday.
This is all very well until there's no dealerships that can service your vehicle or stock the parts.

1960 is fairly 'modern' in terms of birth survival rates. We have still gained 8 years from birth vs 6 years at 40. But, compared to a primitive an expected lifespan of ~40 that's mostly about survival at birth.
And at the same time info hoarding for the sake of it is pretty awful too. How do you wade through the vast amount of dirge that is out there in the sea of bits? How do you avoid feedback loops that occur from search engine lookups? How can I actually find a bit of useful information these days? I'm sure it used to be faster than it is now... At least we used to have website circles, that would filter some of the wheat from the chaff.
Seems to be more of a "How we die" rather than why, but regardless it's a well done visualization.
