I just mean it is a lens with a very similar optical schema than the Canon 17-40L. The diffraction pattern around light sources is very similar. I played around with this lens some time before with my previous DSLR (now i am a Nikon user) and enjoyed it really. I don't mean it was exactly that lens, but something very close - definitely not fixed f/2.0 cheap lens of a smartphone, that kind of halo with 'rays' around light sources is possible only with a lens having many internal components which will be too thick to fit into a smartphone, and not f/2.0, and of course too expensive for a smartphone.

So i fully agree with the article saying it was a fake.
Except there's no implying or warning, just outright lying about this being a sample image.
People really like to dismiss that by calling it transgressive humor, but it's really not? You never truly get made fun of for being part of the majority.
It's not just a picture IN ad, it's also picture OF what's advertised, and that, at least in some parts of the world, is required by law to be real.
Normalizing the "ironic" use of slurs normalizes the unironic use of them as well, and further entrenches privilege as a norm.

It doesn't take spending a lot of time in any nerd culture group to see that the racism, sexism, and homophobia are not ironic at all. Case in point, the enormous administrator/moderator-led backlash on SA in the past ~year against anyone daring to not openly welcome the death of anyone who is not a white cis male.
Which doesn't mean it shouldn't be penalized.
The argument of the cartoon is great except for one thing, the marginal cost; for e-books the marginal cost is so close to zero it might as well be considered zero. This was also stated by another commenter on the OP discussion section.

Sorry, what do you think

vim $(grep -lr foo | xargs)

is doing? Assuming a missing directory after the `foo' why can't it just be

vim $(grep -lr foo .)

I don't see that xargs's default behaviour is adding anything.

For

find . -name foo_fn exec sed -i s/foo_fn/bar_fn/g '{}' \;

you may find -exec's + of use. The above has the fork/execve overhead for each file found.

find -name '*.[ch]' -exec sed -i 's/\<foo\>/bar/g' {} +

Only iOS users regularly update. Windows Phone was also sold only to enthusiasts, who had to update to Mango, as the platform matured. Other cellphone platforms users do not update, even if they can. In some cases, they cannot and they are used to that (e.g. Symbian).

Windows and OSX are desktop systems, and not all of their owners update. Witness the prevalence of XP and 10.5 in the wild.

It is a pity that his argument is a load of bollocks.

As I understand it, he argues that an e-books price fixing cartel is in the interests of all, including the consumer, because otherwise, companies such as Amazon will lower the price to a point (whilst continuing making a loss), such that all others e-book sellers are unable to compete long term.

Or, have I misunderstood his five pages of cartoon genius?
There's only one way out of this for Nokia. They need to release new photo's and video's created with the new Nokia Wndows 8 Phone right the f* now. With as much EXIF and/or metadata as possible. If I was Nokia I'd hire the best photographer-artist the world knows and make a big splash about it.
Maybe they are planning to do just that. How else would they miss the truck reflection - isn't that way too obvious?
Convince me.

I like reading on the size of a paperback. Why do I want some giant printed pages.
I've found this to be very slow and buggy with a large library. Three or four times the last few years I have installed it, again, hoping it would have improved. Then I sit there and watch it hang. Frustrating. Maybe it isn't the size of the library, but the presence of media with non-English titles. Anyways, not worth trying, I think.

For what it is worth, the languages used by users to name their devices are certainly not limited to US English. Out of the 1,000,001 device list, about 10,000 device names contain the Korean possessive "ui", about 5,000 contain the Japanese possessive "no", and a whopping 32,000 contained a Chinese possessive. Unsurprisingly, none contained all three. :-)

I've heard[0] that ‘big’ camera makes like Canon or Nikon regularly advertise their products using photos made with completely different equipment. It would be more surprising if Nokia used actual photos made with Lumia in promotion materials, I guess.

[0] http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3/h3d-1.htm: “For those of us in the press (Ken), we laughed when we looked at the EXIF data of Nikon's PR photos of the D3. They were shot in a studio, so of course Nikon had them shot with an appropriate camera: a $30,000 Phase One P45 back.” Anecdotal evidence, but I'm unable to find another source, so take it with a grain of salt.
Your white label product is a mass market thing. F500 companies expect a more hands service.

Here's what I would do: Offer an initial consultation period (say 2-4 weeks), at a suitable rate ($100 - $200 per hour)

Spend the time meeting with all people involved. The consultation period will probably be extended, because everyone will have different opinions and more folks will get dragged in and it will be hard to schedule time with the important decision makers.

During this time you need to establish what value the client attaches to the project (how much money will it make or save them?) This is the infamous "value proposition".

You need to capture as much of this as possible - this is the budget you should be aiming for. How much of this you can capture will depend on how much any alternatives you identify would cost (competitors and/or internal development).

An important part of your final offering will be support. It's probably best to price the final deliverable lower and charge more for support, since that will be a recurring income.
No, but there are many forms of corruption and immoral tax-avoidance that are technically legal.
A couple of non-romantic justifications/reasons for ya :-)

* It may well have taken substantially less time than you think. Once an organisation has a structure in place for how the UX of a web app should run, and infrastructure in place for making sure things are coded up to that standard (standard templates, test suites, process, etc.) then these things can go together very quickly. I don't know how github runs it's UX/design side - but they seem like the sort of folk who'd streamline the heck out of the process.

* Wearing my UX hat - most of what you see isn't hard. It's basically having decent typography choices, decent vertical rhythm, good visual hierarchy. The icons look off-the-shelf from somewhere. This stuff doesn't actually cost any more time to do right the first time if you already know what you're doing (just like good DBAs automatically write normalised schema).

* With something like this - which is a mode switch between the "nice" stuff that your customers see and the stuff that you see as a developer - it's easier to keep everything nice rather than make the context-switch in development between nice/nasty.

* Wearing my ux-speaking-to-developers hat - think of it like technical debt. Yeah - maybe you could throw something together quickly that would do the job. But if you leave it in it has a knock on effect with everything you do next. It makes tweaking and extending stuff in the future more difficult. Keeping the UI clean, like keeping the code clean, may cost a little more up-front but will save you time in anything but the short term.

* Good UIs are more effective. Making the tools that the internal folk use to make the site better more effective seems like a good choice to be making.
Nokia has been very very misleading about pretty much everything their phone can do, from the PureView naming to how the actual photos and videos look like.

If the music you want to listen to is already organized well you can always make playlists with Play, http://sbooth.org/Play/, drop the folders on a playlist window, set it to Repeat All, and rock on. This can help me concentrate: I don't need to star any music, nor check how many plays a song has and whether it will knock another out of my Top 25 list, and I don't get tempted to start mix and matching across genres, thereby distracting from work. I simply put all my Van (as in Morrison, not Halen), or Smashing Pumpkins, or Smiths, etc, into a play list and work.

A relative did this with an MX-5 a few years ago. They went via a company who managed the whole process, so they didn't have to deal with all the legal issues themselves. They seem to have been very happy with it.

£400 / year just to keep a car on the road seems steep! But if it includes insurance cover, then it's not really very different to the UK market which has similar requirements (annual tax, annual inspection, minimum insurance level). In the UK, you generally pay these yourself regardless of the age of the car (except for the annual inspection which kicks in after three years, but only costs £40). Interesting how the psychology of suddenly being faced with the 'new' annual cost (which of course you've effectively prepaid for the first few years as part of the purchase price of the car) nudges people into getting rid of their cars instead of keeping them running.
I'm surprised people assume the arrest has anything to do with TPB at all. It's anakata we're talking about.
I double on this one. I've had very bad chronic pain in wrists and back for more than 10 years. At times, I was forced out of work for long periods, or had to convince my wife to type the code I was dictating her...
I tried pretty much every possible physical and chemical help and visited tens of doctors and therapists. I had variable results with these therapies, sometimes null and sometimes decent, but never decisive.
Two years ago, I began with Alexander technique and followed approx 30 sessions over a year. I have discovered how bad I was using my body and therefore why I would not improve my condition with any chemical or chiropractic therapy. I have now reduced pain to very acceptable levels and have a normal working life. Healing requires definitely more than visiting a competent therapist, but Alexander technique was a very important piece of the game.

Using Facebook's messenger app requires you to know someone in way which just having their phone number doesn't.

For example, if I'm going to go on a date with someone and we've swapped numbers that's enough for us to talk by SMS/iMessage/WhatsApp, whilst we probably[1] don't know each other well enough yet to expose our digital lives to each other on Facebook.

[1] - This entirely depends on things like age, social norms, how much personal information is on your Facebook page etc. Also, depending on are you going on a date with someone you already know vs. someone new. Mostly the point being that anything that just needs a phone number has a low barrier to communication while also not leaking any personal information (other than your phone number).
I thought the backdrop looked familiar. The first and third photos were taken next to the Sokos Hotel Vaakuna (located across the rail depot), where I stayed when I was in Helsinki in late June, at the time of the summer solstice (20+ hours of light). I'm no photography expert like anovikov, but I can attest that the street lighting was nowhere near as bright as depicted in these photos, even at 2am when it was darkest (dark = same brightness in the sky as first photo).

Now it's perfectly normal to slightly alter promotional collateral as long as there's some YMMV caveat. But with such a flagrant abuse of consumer trust as presented here, it calls into question just how desperate Nokia is that they need to misrepresent a core feature of their savior product.
I use the "grep with color for lines plus the empty string" so frequently that I have a function for it:

function highlight() {
local args=( "$@" )
for (( i=0; i<${#args[@]}; i++ )); do
if [ "${args[$i]:0:1}" != "-" ]; then
args[$i]="(${args[$i]})|$"
break
fi
done
grep --color -E "${args[@]}"
}

This is only to be used as a filter, since it mangles filenames.

I'm curious, does ack support a highlight-only mode?
Quite, boarders :)

I think I rushed forward far too quickly and ended up in a universe where I was outclassed and then had a little oxygen related mishap and it all went downhill from there!

All right. How about hiring the best photographer-artist and letting people sign up and co-create photo's with them? Everything will auto-upload to the cloud in the artist's album live. No cheating there and I'd sure go for an experience like that.

I could quibble with the three "extras" too :-) Assuming the data needs to come out in some format or another there would be some work in displaying it, and some work in getting it out and doing useful stuff with it. They're "different" not "extra".

In my experience designing things nicely doesn't really cost more than designing it badly. In both cases "design" is being done - it's just that in once case you have an expert involved.
Agreed. They should have small disclaimer text at the bottom. And that's what everyone should be up in arms about, not that they faked it in the first place.

I know there are rules for food advertising, but don't know about other types of products... There's not a safety liability issue like with cars, but.
This article is false. There are different rates for streams listened by paying customers and those listening for free. The massive majority of Spotify users are free, and those rates are significantly less. There are several articles about this and most do not report anywhere near those rates for streams. It would not surprise me to find that they don't even pay the average directly-licensed band for "free" streams.

Furthermore, the question the article asked is how much money do "bands" make from streaming, yet it only included a band that has a direct relationship. The bulk of bands on Spotify are put there by the major labels and one or two collectives of independent labels. The major labels setup the licensing structure such that the bulk of it is paid up front for a setup fee, and that fee is divided evenly among their artists, even though a small percentage of those artists constitute the bulk of the streaming. 95+% of the artists they include in that setup are not recouped, which means they haven't earned enough royalties to offset the "expenses" associated with releasing their album. The label keeps your money until you are recouped. So, the label shares nothing with 95% of the artists from this massive, tens-of-millions-of-dollars fee they charge. Then they pay 5% of the fee to their recouped artists - the megastars - even though those artists will generate 95% of the listening. After the setup fee, the per stream fee that gets paid to the artists is minuscule, and even much of that is swept under the rug during shady accounting.

And if that wasn't enough, the labels own 18% of Spotify (I've heard it's even protected against dilution) and will ultimately unload their stock on the public right before the licenses expire and they hike the rates up to an unsustainable level, drain all of the investment dollars out of the company, and start the cycle again.

What kinds of things people throw away.
Price competition that results in monopoly is not in the long-term interests of consumers. This is the same argument that lies behind anti-dumping legislation.

I'm not convinced by it either, but the lawyer does have a fair point that it is hard to demonstrate the seriousness of the danger without being allowed space to document his view of the economics of e-book competition.
This guy is your typical lawyer who has no life outside of his job. Just a tad bit overeager. "Look at me I'm an annoying laywer! I will argue the moon is made of cheese if you pay me."

My fingers are "sprawled" across the three alphabetic rows, and I have no particular discipline regarding which finger (or even which hand) hits which key.

I'm curious -- have you ever tried typing using two full keyboards, one for each hand? Your sprawl style seems like it might work well with such a setup. Before I got my kinesis ergo I was typing using two keyboards and I found it quite comfortable since I was able to place them apart from each other so that my arms stay nice and comfortable.
> you can talk to any of your friends if they install the app

Yes, that's exactly the catch. Why should you require them to install anoter app if they might already use some other IM network? Approach of WhatsApp may be simplifies the initial registration step, but it adds to the global mess of the non interoperable IM networks. Negative impact way outweighs any potential comfort benefits, and authors who promote such things are to be blamed for it.

> Everybody with a phone already has one, so they don't have to do the whole 'create/verify an ID/password' dance

Actually you might want to do it, since numbers change, while IDs don't. Plus you want to authenticate the other party if for example you need a secure conversation (such as with OTR).

I guess it depends on the amount of ‘real’.

Is post-processing allowed, for example? If yes, everything including light spikes could be claimed to be artificially added, not resulting from using different equipment. If pictures are required to be straight from the camera—well, there still are inevitable pre-production and (more importantly) RAW conversion steps.

There's a need for more complex regulations here.
