There's a lot of defensive reactions on here. That's interesting.

Where is the feature in this phone which makes you stop and think "wow, how did we not have this before?". There isn't one. That's not good.

Apple set the stage for something revolutionary, and what they unveiled was not. It's boring. Again. Come on Apple.
Features are a quantitative measure, until we invent some qualitative measures, these comparisons are worthless.
Typing "21st and 6th" gives me an alert that says "no results found". I am about 500 feet from 21st and 6th. Other intersections have jumped me to Texas and South Carolina.

I can't believe this is something they're actually going to release. I hope that it might be better on release, but it seems like the backend should be continually upgraded.
A prototype and customers willing to use the product are forms of traction that YC looks for. There is no harm in applying now and then applying again later if you get rejected, other than your time.

SQLi a different though related issue so I reframed it with an example that this solves.
Funny that the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" isn't considered a "Diagnostic Manual" given that a) those words are in the title and b) it's commonly and constantly used by professionals as a manual for diagnosis. It doesn't really matter what your one prof said, it matters how the profession as a whole uses it. I also cited the ICD-10 in the article for several of the disorders, and there absolutely is not any arguing that the ICD-10 is a valid diagnostic tool.

Also, while I agree the mis-dignosis is common and many of the elements read like a horoscope/fortune cookie, you can't say that Nite Owl II was a narcissist or that Ozymandius had avoidant personality disorder.
It was my first thought.
"Actually, you completely agree with me"

I'm sure if you keep that condescending and conceited attitude everyone will come around ...
"Lumia 920 looks good on paper"

The "underwhelming" iPhone 5 is actually running a functioning OS. You can create all the feature matrixes you want, doesn't change the fact that one was in peoples' hands today, and the other has to simulate it's features because it's software doesn't work yet
Agreed, the final version is likely to be better than the beta, but adding 3D flyovers of landmarks really doesn't help me in my day to day life living in NYC. I need in app transit directions, otherwise maps are largely useless.

I also need correct search results. For example, searching for "Flatbush Farm" -- a bar/restaurant near my apartment in Brooklyn -- yields the correct establishment on Flatbush and 6th, as evidenced by the Yelp reviews, but drops a pin in Queens. I've reported many incorrect listings over the past couple of months and none of them have changed.

Yes it does sound interesting. Screenshots/url?
It also depends on the nature of the work. Is it more mechanical, a more-or-less straightforward implementation of a spec? Or does it require real creativity, invention, non-linear thinking? Anyone who truly understands the creative process knows you have to give it freedom.

Scrum might have valuable in big hierarchical companies or when there are many average-talent programmers, but there's no way I'd foist it on a team of smart developers much less and early stage startup.

Windows 8 and micro ISVs
User interfaces are necessarily shaped by the input devices we use to interact with them. I'd be interested in seeing some reviews of Metro from people who are using the MS Touch mouse rather than a standard mouse. Perhaps Metro is designed with them in mind, so complaining about metro sucking with a standard mouse might be a little bit like complaining that the earliest versions of Windows were hard to use with just a keyboard!

The move from DOS to Windows was very much one based on the addition of a mouse. Sure, some DOS applications could use a mouse, but it was not a necessary device for interacting with the operating system. Windows changed that. Yes, I know you could do almost anything in Windows with keyboard shortcuts, but it was painfully counter-intuitive to try doing so. Since then, the mouse and keyboard have remained more or less unchanged. The underlying technology has improved (e.g. optical vs ball mice) or deteriorated (most modern keyboards vs an IBM Model M), but their capabilities have remained almost frozen in time. The last major degree of freedom to be introduced and widely adopted was scroll-wheels. Some mice have other degrees of freedom, such as horizontal scrolling capabilities or zoom wheels, but none of these have become standards across all mice. Interfaces have gradually coaxed richer interactions out of those existing degrees of freedom, but that's it.

Touch mice offer new degrees of freedom that traditional mice do not have. e.g. Gestures. If MS is smart, they are planning to develop Metro along lines that will exploit those new degrees of freedom. It will likely take years or decades for touch mice to reach their full potential but, if the people at MS have done their job well, there should already be compelling advantages to using them with Windows 8.
Any serious founder(s) would have either attended WWDC or known from their network what was discussed there.
IPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S: how the specs compare 
A side by side compare of the new iPhone to the old
But see, that's my point. It's not really the best designed thing on the market anymore. It's one good choice among many.

Sure the first generation iPhone was just hands down better than the competition at the time, but it's not anymore.

Claiming that the look, heft, and hand feel are better is ridiculous, all of them are subjective opinions that vary widely among users (Take me for example, I really like the slate and glass look, but since I have big hands I dislike the heft and hand feel.)

Further, the thing is running a new version of the OS, so when you talk about the UX of iOS 6, what you're really saying is that you believe (based on previous Apple iOS releases) that they will create a good user experience. That's branding.

And I want to stop and state: branding isn't bad. If you've had a previous version of a product and you LIKED it, it's entirely reasonable to assume a future release is also something you'd like. but that doesn't make the device any better or worse, it just makes you more likely to buy it.

And finally, yes I agree that Apple has carefully curated their ecosystem so it seems clean and polished. But it's not any richer (my opinion is that it's considerably less rich since it's so heavily curated, but again that's opinion). MOST importantly though, the ecosystem has little to do with the device itself, that same ecosystem could exist around any device (and does exist around older iPhones).
Since forever, audio jack cables (I'm 25).
I don't know what you're saying. If you're saying that the "Secure" flag won't defend against CRIME, nobody is saying that. I'm saying that the "Secure" flag and HSTS mitigates SSL-stripping.
Point taken. That last bit was just my personal opinion - I'd rather enjoy the suspension of disbelief than analyze every action in-depth, but that's just me. If this article gave you greater enjoyment of the movie then that makes me a very happy camper.

And here I have several friends with Android phones that are considering switching to the iPhone because of hardware failures and unresponsive UI's. (One of them has a broken keyboard and a broken GPS). I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

FWIW, there are map directions in iOS 6.
That's quite offensive.

I don't build websites for other people, but if I did, I would ideally provide the customer with a way to maintain their website, whether that's managing comments or posting articles. These are simple jobs the owner can do without paying a professional developer.

Similarly, replacing a light bulb on a car is a job the owner can do without the cost of a professional.
I do it for photos and video (~60GB worth on microSD card). Obviously barrkel does it.

Just because you don't use a niche feature doesn't mean others don't.

There's a saying in photography how everyone only uses 80% of their DSLR's capability, but it's a different 80% for everyone.

No modern hash function, including "salted SHA" and Unix crypt() is vulnerable to "rainbow tables". Rainbow tables work exclusively against the dumbest possible hashing schemes.

Bcrypt isn't a defense against "rainbow tables"; the hash function bcrypt supplanted (PHK's MD5 crypt) was also not "rainbow-table-able".
Interesting analysis. I don't quite understand Go. It isn't actually as low level as C. As far as I know, it can't be used to write operating systems or device drivers. It isn't as fast as Java; it can't even beat node.js in many benchmarks.

There are some smart people championing Go, but I don't see the benefits.
I'd suggest adding this piece of (important) info in the FAQ in https://idonethis.com/accounts/register/, as an additional sentence to the answer for Do I have to sign a long term contact?

Congrats on your product. Looks great!
FYI - Fantasy doesn't require the use/study of algorithms or much work at all, it's more of a way to increase a fan's enjoyment of the game by way of becoming familiar with more teams and players in greater depth. Yeah, you've got an ordered list of players, or tiers of players, at the beginning of the season when you draft your team, but other than that, you'll only spend 15-30 minutes per week checking to see if there's a new player available as an upgrade, and then moving guys in/out of the starting lineup as determined by injuries/bye weeks/rumors/hunches.
The first two paragraphs were good.
It's not that it was so much work. It's exactly the opposite, in the first leaks, the start menu was there.
At the moment, someone from MS explained that if you give people a new and an old way to do something, they prefer the old way. So, to promote learning the new way, they had to remove the old one. It's the same that they did with the Classic Start Menu (win 95 style). There was an option in Vista, but they removed it in Win 7.

I had to switch away from Android to iPhone because although there's a lot about Android I prefer, I need my basic apps to run without fucking crashing. I'm talking about sending sms being impossible because the stock SMS app crashes. Being unable to use Maps because typing in the blank caused it to crash.
And the thing is, I suspect that there are good Android phones that don't have these problems, but several of my friends have phones from several different vendors that are nearly unusable. It's like a minefield - I want to buy my girlfriend a replacement for her mostly-broken Android phone, but I have no idea how to evaluate whether a given model will be a broken piece of shit. At least iPhone is a known quality - I miss having a decent Maps app, but at least it isn't broken.
Ask HN: Why did Google create and invest in Android?
How does it make money off Android and how is the investment justified? The popular analogy is its the Windows of the smartphone world. Not quite true because Windows gets money from partners. Android is free. They have to rely on ads and app purchases. Google services are immensely popular (and very good) and if they create apps for other operating systems (like maps, voice, voice assistant etc) most people would definitely use them giving them ad footprint. Also their admod could be built into every app irrespective of the OS. So their share of ad revenue is not going to be dented. So what would Google lose if say Android did not exist today? I know they got into hardware now but that is not their plan to begin with. I know I am definitely not seeing something, What am I missing here?
Interesting. Are any of them using Nexus devices?

Also, I've heard repeatedly that iOS 6, and its new built-in Maps, lacks transit directions. Has that changed?
Cmon man, besides the fact that it's thinner, lighter, sturdier, has a higher density screen, a better screen technology, better graphics performance, better phone quality, a better camera, better media ecosystem, better apps, and will get timely & regular OS updates for several years what else have the Cupertinians done for us lately?
My hope is a very simple one, I was hoping that I could buy a phone, charge it and that it would not run out of power within a few hours of heavy usage, my co-worker gets a full day of challenging battery use from his S3, which I have been a little more impressed with.

Impressive screens & faster chips are all well and good but only if their is enough power in the dam thing to actually keep the device powered on.
Yeah you're right, they should get up on stage in front of the worlds media and say "It's an OK iPhone. You know, not great great, but pretty good... pffffft, we really could do better but hey ho, here's the new iPhone".

Are you an idiot?

And it is the best iPhone they've ever made. And the iPhone is arguably the best phone out there, so they sort of have a fair bit of credibility when they say that stuff.

The irony is that over the next few decades, maybe it will turn out that the single biggest YC black swan could be a new power source that appears to violate the laws of physics.
I didn't see it stated anywhere, but it could be ingame. Chats in EVE are usually timestamped in EVE Time, which is the GMT timezone.
No, 256 MB of RAM on each rasp. It's 16GB of storage on each rasp.
Point #2 is arguing with your conclusion, so let's set that aside.

You're on the right track but you have to look wider. And now that prices are out, we can play with better guesstimates.

Anyone purchasing an iPhone will have a USB wallbrick and a USB-Lightning cable in the box. They can charge their phone from that setup, any computer, and any USB wallbrick Apple or any third-party vendor ever sold. So the "upsell" here, if there is one:

- Purchasing extra USB-Lightning cables for convenience ("one for the work PC too...") $19
- Purchasing Lightning-30 adapters for old 30-pin dock speakers and car adapters still in use $29

I'm guessing attachments will be about 10% for the extra cable and 10% for the dock over the life of the product. But let's say 50% for all iphone 5 purchasers.

With an estimated global sale of 80M per year, assuming 50% attachment for both, assuming 100% profit margin, that's $50 over 80M units / 2 = 2B dollars in an extremely optimistic interpretation.

Apple booked 109B in revenue in 2011, of which 2B would count for 1.83%. They will do a great, great deal more than that by the time 2012 is over.

$2B in potentially increased accessory profit is a fart in the wind for this company. And keep in mind they're probably losing a substantial number of 30-pin licensees in this changeover, who already pay real money to get -their- access to Apple's vast platform of 90% margin accessories. We're just trading one proprietary connector for another.

Also, considering the obvious and real customer ire breaking compatibility causes, considering the obvious and real costs of redesigning and changing a part they've been ordering by the hundred millions for a decade, and considering the possibility that they might not even re-license any of their 30-pin accessory profiles, it can't simply be for money's sake.

The benefit for them moving to a dramatically smaller I/O port with a dramatically smaller set of supporting onboard electronics is in meeting extraordinary engineering pressure for reduced volume and mass in an era where many of their mobile products are nearly the same size as a 30-pin dock connector.

It's a new era. Consumer computers are now measured in milligrams and micrometers, and 2002's best effort doesn't cut it anymore.
No, not even close. This is more of a fun decoration you have in your home for visitors, as a conversation piece.
Fair enough, but there are at least some point of sale systems that have NFC already, I have yet to see a system that is set up to display a barcode for the phone to read and then read a barcode on the phone (without moving the phone).
Wow, that actually is very useful. Looking forward to using it.

So, how does this relate to PG's article: Black Swan Farming? There is a huge difference in profiting from a stochasitic-but-diversified portfolio with massive variance and extrapolating from the outlier data. The properties of the outlier data, by definition, are not charachteristic of the data-set as a whole. The properties of the outlier data are useful for talking about the potential of future outliers and possible portfolio variance.

I agree completely. Founder dating should take longer than one funding cycle.

I posted this mainly because it was an appropriate parent story, not because I think winter cofounders should do accelerated dating.
To me, the whole point of the movie is:
"The end doesn't justify the means and when someones tells you so it certainly means you are heading for fascism".

Characters are "interesting" in the "comic book/fantasy storyline" but not realistic. There's not much to gain from analyzing them other than the stereotypes they stand for.

Nothing new under the sun, literary-wise.
Google also killed user scripts that are self-updating like 4chan x. Before you would just click OK on a popup informing you that there was a new version and you were done.

Now you have to drag the downloaded file into a tab with chrome://extensions open.

I don't know why Google hasn't left a switch in to deactivate this "security measure".

Edit: security measure is between quotes because I don't think anybody on HN would fall for something like that easily.
Just like how you think the Touch is obviously superior to the Nano because of certain feature differences, I suspect there are others for whom the Nano is obviously superior to the Touch because of certain feature differences.
The video did say you can have your ad display just in websites related to your own.
But isn't it totally accurate that the iphone 5 IS the best iphone yet for Apple?

...that's a bit harder to answer. It really depends on YOU, your ability to learn, and your project requirements :)

First, there is trusty JSP and EL. They're blazingly fast. But they aren't a framework, there just libraries.

If you want full-stack Rails, but Java, Play isn't bad. I've used it once, but I felt constrained (much like I do in Rails). I probably needed to give it more time because it does do a lot of things.

The newest version of Tapestry isn't bad. They've had the same lead developer on this project for years, so they've really refined this project over time. You might take a look at the programming model and see what you think, it's can be a little different.

I personally like PrimeFaces/JSF2.0. It's good for large applications since the framework handles all the javascript and Ajax in a very elegant way. If There is also a rabid fanbase (check Twitter). There is tooling involved here, so expect a learning curve.

There's others I haven't used, but my IRL friends have told me they like:

GWT - Building single page, javascript applications
ThymeLeaf - The sucessor for JSP that uses Spring Framework
ZK JSP - A bunch of cool prebuilt widgets for JSP pages

There are many others, but I've only read about them. With Java, you have tons of choice. There is no "one single killer framework" for Java, so take a look around, and find one that suits your style.
Awesome stuff.. Thanks a lot for this.
right, for all those times i want to take a picture without being able to tell what it is going to be of.
I believe my last post clearly showed that I disagree.

There is no 'boilerplate' required with Java. Anyone can obfuscate Java, or any language, and make code that is overly and unnecessarily complicated. Some do it because they don't know better. Some, like yourself, just do it to be an ass.

Why are people clamouring for NFC? What are people doing with it that I don't know about! Is there some magical dimension I'm not privy to where NFC is everywhere?
You seem to be refuting an argument that I haven't made.

Firstly, how very presumptuous of you to assume that I haven't suffered from depression.

Anecdote is not the singular of data. Whether I have or have not suffered from depression has no bearing whatsoever on my ability to analyse the available data. Having had cancer gives you no insight whatsoever into the biology of cell division.

Depression is known to spontaneously resolve in the vast majority of cases without any treatment, which creates a wholly misleading picture of the efficacy of treatments for depression amongst patients. Our most effective treatments for depression only shorten the duration of depressive episodes by a few weeks and reduce the likelihood of relapse by a few percent.

I am not arguing that depression is a simple phenomenon, but rather that it is a complex psychosocial problem for which our best treatments are utterly marginal, and that the clinical model may be a fundamentally inappropriate approach.
JP Morgan: iPhone 5 could add up to .5 percent to GDP growth
Phones with larger screens, widescreen, higher resolution (1280x720 is common now), NFC, and LTE. Like last year's Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X and Galaxy S 3 that have been out for months.

The Nokia 920 announced last week has all of that too, plus wireless charging, and a genuine leap forward in camera technology for phones.

Apple is under no obligation to match anyone feature for feature, but for people who follow phones of various types, it seems bizarre and somewhat frustrating the way new iPhones get vastly outsized publicity for devices that are increasingly becoming trailing indicators of where the mobile industry is going.

Traffic is one of the main things I use Google Maps for on my iPhone. How does the traffic in Apple Maps compare? I'd hate to lose that.
I had iOS 6 and brought my phone to China. It just swapped to another provider (AutoNav) that's essentially like MapQuest 10 years ago.
That's what I was trying to say, but I guess I was unclear.
thanks for posting that
