Google to Become US Display Ad Leader
Freedom of choice, being able to fix things yourself, ability to work on the same OS your server uses, being able to run old programs or on older/cheaper hardware -- all these and other things are not sentiments.

Why are you guys complaining about a guy choosing Linux over Mac? Is it because of the sentiment? :-)
It is not a small barrier. It is a warning indicator. If there are already some problems (minor) on the site, there may be also hidden problems with the product I wanted to buy. The quality of the site is just another indicator to guess the quality of the product I am buying.
Obviously some of their negotiations with Apple failed, hence Google Maps are not included in iOS 6 by default. If Google now just releases it free to users, isn't it a complete win for Apple? Contrast this to YouTube app, where Google still can make big money through ads in the free app. So, I think Google is not exactly thinking "what's to lose?"
> Admittedly a huge chunk of my problem is having purchased an expensive program purporting to teach me how to get rich and find my dream job. If I didn't have a four-figure debt due

ouch. I'm sorry to hear that, you sound quite upfront about it though, so can I inquire as to what program you "fell for". Was the cash all in one go, or installments?
I'm getting ~8 hours with wifi with Ubuntu 12.04 on an Asus Zenbook UX31E. Everything works out the box with no tweaking, see here:

I use Linux on a VM, running under OSX.

OSX is ... finicky ... with dev tools. Apple does the compilers, and the bolt-on distributions (brew, Macports, fink) seem to have trouble keeping things compatible. Linux distributions don't end up falling behing their own compilers every time the compiler gets updated. I'd rather stay off the bleeding edge compilers, and have everything just work.

There is the "Apple tax", but it's hard to find a good lightweight laptop which is much cheaper than a MBA. A few hundred dollars cheaper, but you lose that on the resale value. For a desktop, there's no comparison (a $600 white-box will thrash an iMac, and if you pay for a nice monitor it's better to keep it than sell it bundled with an obsolete machine).
I just used higher order functions to keep the example short, and I'd use them irl to avoid code repetition. The concept still applies without them:

while (fTrueForAny(xs)) { }

boolean fTrueForAny(List xs) {
for (Item x : xs) {
if (f(x)) {
return true;
}
}

return false;
}

There isn't anything non-imperative about higher order functions.

var externalDataStore = new ExternalDataStore()
[1, 2, 3, 4].each(x => externalDataStore.store(x))
externalDataStore.getItems().each(item => print(item))

Plenty of higher order functions, and plenty of non-functional, ordered, stateful, imperative code.

Another option which I've been looking at is pg_rman ( http://code.google.com/p/pg-rman/ ) .

It's several years old, from NTT, and with a BSD license. It seems a bit simpler , and lists a couple of useful features such as compression and backup maintenance which don't seem to be in barman yet.

Also, from looking at the barman FAQ : "We are currently seeking sponsors willing to fund the addition of this feature to the open-source version." is something it would be nice to get clarification on, in case some features in the future only go into a closed version.
Yah, except he'd be 70% SOL.
Website design pricing
I don't think I'm truly overestimating the utility of the data so much as eliding over the massive engineering and labor required to extract useful information out of it. But that is probably Google's core competency.

I don't think Google's going to get very evil, at least not overnight. They have the infrastructure to collect all this data, the resources to store it, and the technology to make sense of it. They're already at the point where their business regularly butts against social norms regarding privacy.

Ultimately I find advertising an extremely unpleasant (if not inherently evil) phenomenon. At the highest levels it's nearly the science of manipulating unwilling people. Advertising companies, especially nebulous yet megalomaniacal tech companies with access to the best behavioral datasets possible, should be treated as highly suspect.
I like your spirit. Would you consider that there could be something similar to solve the disappearance of library.nu?

Given that Nokia is already selling map data to Amazon for the Kindle Fire, they almost certainly do. That being said, their means of taking advantage might be pointing out their WP8 phones' relative advantage in this area.
> I'd never write another webapp with EE6. Jetty/Jersey/Jackson is great for web services, especially with groovy. If you need to handle the front end tasks, use play or grails.

Play or Grales might be just as bad as EE6. Do you also have similarly intensive experience with Play and/or Grales since April 2011 that you can compare with?

'With this new layout, people will be less likely to try out apps that aren’t at the top of the results.'

I wish I could try out apps in the App Store, that feature has been missing from day one.

I agree, however, that it remains very difficult to find apps directly in the App Store. I mostly go to the App Store via recommendations from friends and on websites since looking myself for an app, recently for example for a clock and timer app for my iPad (no longer necessary with iOS 6), has almost never been a success.

I know most apps are not expensive but neither online nor offline do I like to spend money for things I don't use, i.e., I need a possibility to check an app or any other product in advance. Reviews could replace such a check but there are not very helpful in the App Store either. In my case – living in a relatively small country – most apps, even popular ones, have no reviews at all …

This makes it unclear if I can actually buy this thing (in Europe).

Why isn't this in the official Ubuntu distro? I don't trust binaries from Dell.
It's really not usable.

Apart from having NO STATION (It's a really really big station - busiest and one of the biggest in Tokyo) several different train line's terminals are merged into one blue blip smack bang in the center.

There are no convenience stores / landmark shops (eg. mosburger) which ALL Japanese use to find their way around due to lack of order in building numbers (no street numbers.)

The 26, 27 etc. you see are numbered blocks which people use to find addresses - not visible on new map.

No indication of one way streets in most cases. Shinjuku, like many dense parts of Tokyo, has a lot of one way streets.

At the end of the day, analytics is measured by effectiveness and appropriateness, not complexity. Simple regressions will do fine, but the "art" is to choose the right questions to ask. Typically if you're in a business setting that boils down to efficiency problems and maximizing time/money/happiness/etc. Dealing with these real-world problems = work exp.

We've been using How Might We... to do ideation internally and with our partner organizations and have found them as a great way to spark creativity and a generate a lot of ideas. I would recommend checking out more of IDEO's resources around the design process as well. The Human Centered Design Toolkit (http://www.ideo.com/work/human-centered-design-toolkit/) and its corresponding community (http://www.hcdconnect.org) are great, especially if you have a focus on the developing world like we do. Alternatively there is the Bootcamp Bootleg (http://dschool.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Bootc...) which D-School publishes as a less prescriptive resource with a lot of similar content.

> To be honest I don't understand why this is on HN. Since when did these simple, short, and obvious posts become amazing and worth reading?

I think some people just read the title think "yes, this looks like something I want to read on hn" and upvote.

It's the lazy thing to do, I know I have done it sometimes and sometimes I have regretted doing it. The problem is that there is no way to withdraw an upvote and the upvote arrow is right there beside the title beckoning you to click it now, not to wait after you read the article and then come back.

Possible solutions: run a content extractors on links weight votes with length, open links in a frame, put up upvote arrow with the content, add de-upvote arrow.
great effort, I am using it atm
Haven't implemented any storage limit as such, but the max file size is 16mb right now.

Key access file with delete control sounds great but wouldn't make any sense to implement all that before the adoption kicks in. Storage limit can always be implemented later, if the need is felt. Do you see it being regularly used or do you think dropbox etc will still be a better for people? I was going with the idea of making it a password protected disposable drive.
Actually it looks like I simply missed it description was below(I didn't scroll)

Base Model $499:

Everything you need to print - just add a computer!

Pro Model $549:

Heated Build Platform - allows you to build large prints up to 6x6x6" without bottom warping. 1/8" aluminum plate.
Upgraded power supply
Spool holder to hold filament (makes unattended printing much easier)
Interior lighting
Open design (no outer cover/door)

Expert Model $599:

All the features of the Pro model plus an outer cover & front acrylic door to give your printer a finished look with clean lines

Based on the number of apple-negative articles recently, i think apple have subconciously hurt a number of people here rather than it being an in your face attitude.
Looking at it from an iPhone. Sadly it's not usable. No images can be seen in portrait or landscape mode. Just people's comments. A lot of the text extends past the borders of the screen and there's no way to scale the screen.
What comments hide
I'm thinking it depends on your graphics card. I have the nvs 8400m in me T61 and it's giving a heck of a lot of problems. For example, connecting an external screen means fudging with the xconf. Also screen brightness doesnt work.

Probably all the fault of the proprietary drivers, so it just goes to show that you'll have to pick your laptop wisely if you want Linux running on it.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but you mention the gaming industry; I thought I'd point out the biggest new development there is giving away the games for free and charging for items, aka. F2P (Valve/TF2 is one example. They increased their revenue 12x[1]).

Is this just not another form of freemium?

Hi. I'm at TechCrunch and this is an FYI. I saw this and reached out to Tiny Post and got a response. Short version: it was a test they were running and is now being taken down. Slightly longer story here http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/20/tiny-post-bot/
I have no vested interest either way, but barman does appear to support compression and backup maintenance - it has a built in command for running all maintenance tasks, including compressing backups and moving them to archival storage.

This comes from 2ndQuadrant, so hopefully they will leave the core version as open-source.
Fun to play with. Have to question the content though, so far it's been random gifs and screenshots of 4chan talking about menstruation... Can we filter the subreddits to something a little more mature? Perhaps the various *porn subreddits (nature porn, history porn, etc).
Ignoring the whiners, fanroids and Apple haters. Apple did this for a reason: to maximise revenue. If this encourages people to buy more stuff more quickly it stays otherwise it will change to something else. The "it's all different" whining is just like people complaining when Google tweaks their results presentation and suddenly a carefully SEO'd site is no longer on page 1.

Personally I never use the iPhone interface to the appstore, I hated the way it used to be, and I hate this.

However, Apple have announced an iTunes revamp for next month, I suspect this is a preview of what that will be like.
Parallels Desktop ist more polished than VMware Fusion but more expensive due to a higher number of paid upgrades – those are about the essential differences in my opinion.
Another vote for the x220. I Have the tablet version, and some of the tablet stuff isn't perfect yet. But I mainly use it as a laptop, for which it is solid since 12.04.

Resistance Welding
Resistance Spot Welding (RSW), Resistance Seam Welding (RSEW), and Projection Welding (PW) are commonly used resistance welding processes. Resistance welding uses the application of electric current and mechanical pressure to create a weld between two pieces of metal. Weld electrodes conduct the electric current to the two pieces of metal as they are forged together.

Story from a company that built "the best software testing tool"
I have a cheap Acer 7741G. So I answer your questions for this generic hardware I bought from ebay.

1. Not good but not much worse than on windows.

2. It doesn't have builtin bluetooth but my $2 usb bluetooth dongle from ebay works. 3D with fglrx and the open source driver works. Wifi speed is not that great with 6 Megabyte/s but it's faster than 54 mbit wifi so I guess it works. The webcam used to work but not at the moment. I think I disabled it myself. I have to investigate that. I don't know what mike is but the microphone works of course.

3. Suspend doesn't work with amd's proprietary driver unless I boot with nopat. That's 100% amd's fault. With the open source driver it works out of the box as expected. Putting it to sleep and waking up is not instant but less than two seconds, so good enough for me.

4. xrandr --output LVDS --preferred --output DFP1 --preferred --left-of LVDS --primary --rotate normal
Does what I expect it to do. Of course --rotate right etc. works too. Why shouldn't it? It was nvidia that refused to implement the freedesktop randr standard but recently they finally got it together and implemented it.

5. Yes.

6. I don't know. It's not great but ok. I have no problem with it.

7. See 6. You could just use linux on your macbook if you'd like the keyboard/touchpad...

This is an extremely short-sighted view of the situation.

The ramifications of this are huge. The law itself is an ex post facto law, which is explicitly not allowed by the Constitution, yet it passed, and granted immunity for past crimes which also violate the Constitution, and legalized a practice that by all means should also be illegal.

Not to mention the literal billions of dollars that have been spent on the program, agreements with telecom providers, equipment all over the US (world?) to split and route traffic to their special datacenters which also had to be built and maintained at incredible cost.

Simply put, there is so much investment in this from the powers that be, that it will take a strong argument from the people to demonstrate that we do not want this system to exist. That this should not be swept under the rug, or be made legal by some congressional hand waving.

Such a demonstration from the people needs to include everything that is wrong with this system in order to abolish something that has grown to this magnitude.

Likening it to fictional characters in books is about the weakest possible argument that should ever be used.

I can really recommend having an i7/64Gb desktop with native Linux OS as your primary development environment. It is like 20x faster than a Macbook Pro/8Gb with Linux VM.

And you could keep your Macbook Air for looks [and ssh to that box] ;)
So, if he spends 70% of his time in a terminal, and 30% in a browser, what is the advantage of the Linux laptop? It probably has worse battery life, is heavier and clunkier, has a shitty trackpad...

And those patches will bite you in the ass on the first OS update (or when they are abandoned 6 months on). Other than it being cheaper, am I missing something?

"Sometimes, socks split up too. But it's not normally down to differences of opinion or because one sock finds a younger model - it is because one of the socks gets lost or damaged."

"Take any Plus+ sock, scan the chip and as soon as you find the right partner, the app makes a noise to show you that the sock has found its mate and can now be considered washed. Some cynical women might claim that this is the only way a man could sort his own socks."

That's a valid point. I still don't understand why there is no (afaik) "general public patent" mechanism of some kind : a procedure to make someone claim a patent on behalf of general public.

This would certainly stops patent trolls, and avoid making people suspicious when you claim "protective patents" as you describe.
Tell that to the string theorists.
That actually sounds like a great idea. I have nothing but time at the moment (start-up I was working for recently laid me off) I will definitely consider a project along those lines. Thanks for the recommendation.
I read your comment as "the style is different, and you shouldn't be able to protect effect, so Teller shouldn't be persuing this." Which is obviously a flawed argument if the style is the same. Apologies if I misinterpreted your comment.
