JSC as used by an app store app does not use Nitro. As the post stated, JSC is a private framework and the only way to use it in an approved app is to import the source into your project and build a copy of JSC that is bundled with your app. Since the JSC that you use is contained within your executable, iOS doesn't allow the write and execute permissions in memory that would be necessary for JIT.
He's actually gotten better over time. But there's another side to this. He has this kind of humble "aww shucks" way about him that I and I suspect many people find endearing.

I've said this before, but I think Mr. Musk is one of a handful of "altruistic capitalists" that, if we are to stay with capitalism as a system, we desperately need more of. His somewhat awkward but "gee I could imagine playing XBox with him" style goes well with that image.
I think simply owning a car will be such a signal, similar to how owning a plane today is a mark of the super-wealthy. There will be "automotive Boeings" that produce cars for transportation companies, boutique shops that produce them for the wealthy, and not much in between.

In this case, the USSD is not the bug. The fact that it can be triggered from HTML and cause a factory reset without user interaction is the bug. At least with older phones, after entry, it was necessary to hit dial before any effect was taken.
The free tier of App Engine (I'm only familiar with the Python platform) is somewhat accommodating. If it becomes too expensive, you may choose to move your app to your own machines running Typhoonae or Appscale. Neither of those is easy to install.

Heroku runs more portable things you can easily deploy on your own boxes.
Which is why I suggested raising less gullible, passive, compliant people. Gullibility is a problem, here and elsewhere.

I think raising people to be good, independent non-gullible people is a better approach than sticking trackers on them.
I'm not sure how to square the normalized schema with the immutability; normalization implies schema changes which imply data changes, no?

In particular, what do I do when there is erroneous historical data that violates the new schema (the newly discovered constraint that was there all along)?
Probably Apple had preferential access to API ( like free for 5 years ), Apple still wanted to have free access plus probably extended APIs (like directions, vector maps).
But since Google is not providing Maps API for free anymore for high volume, they may have wanted Apple to pay like everybody else.
Apple said no (too expensive, akin to microsoft tax on FAT LFN ), Google said sorry.

You may remember the author of this article, Professor Sudhir Venkatesh, as the author of the book Gang Leader for a Day, the researcher made famous in the book Freakonomics as willing to interview street drug dealers about the details of their work. The article is quite interesting, with this thought-provoking thesis: "Increasingly, across the country, the town cop who walks a beat and relies on trust with locals may be a thing of the past; your neighborhood police investigation is increasingly likely to be a federal initiative, built on cooperation between your local police department and Washington, DC. In fact, with feds and local cops increasing their collaborations and seeking funding to expand their joint investigations, we may be seeing the end of 'community policing' as we’ve known it. In the short run, this has been a good thing, since crime has grown more complex and stiff federal penalties are often necessary deterrents. But in the long run, it’s shaping up to be the biggest challenge to liberal governance and local autonomy that we’ve seen in some time."
I love the idea of Spotify (and I'm a subscriber). I also buy albums occasionally, and spend many thousands of dollars a year seeing bands play live.

What's great about Spotify, is that artists get paid per listen, which favours artists which make great, lasting music, and against those who produce one hit wonders. If people continue to listen to your music over a period of time, the artist will continue to get paid, and that's great (and those who produce one hit wonders get paid a lot at the time, and virtually nothing afterwards).

The problem, of course, is that Spotify doesn't pay very much to artists. Spotify says this is because artists have shitty deals with labels (and I'm sure this is true), but independents also complain about the amount passed on. Spotify, however, last I checked, isn't profitable, so they can't afford to pass on more money anyway. I would happily pay more, but I use it near-constantly at work and at home (easily 6+ hours a day on average). I suspect I'm a minority here.

Ensuring artists get paid enough is a problem we haven't solved yet. I tend to think it'll go the way of free-or-near-free streaming (a la Spotify or Youtube), with albums becoming collectibles like Vinyls, and the vast majority of artist revenue coming from live shows. Unfortunately, this is going to mean labels are going to have to negotiate a cut of live shows with artists to cover album production costs (assuming they're not independent, obviously). I don't mind a one-or-two week delay on streaming sites to give people who really want a listen to buy it first. Of course, this helps drive piracy back up, but for artists, their aim shouldn't be minimising piracy, but maximising the profitability of their work.
I'm actually using this strategy more often than I would like to admit.
The first adjective that pg used was "determined". It's also essentially saying the same thing as his last sentence. I'm guessing that's not an accident.
Except that skrebbel said "some half-arsed mobile layout", which automatically narrows us down to the cases where responsive design is implemented poorly. It is ridiculous to argue against a design technique because sometimes the technique is executed badly, and that's the argument that skrebbel's comment put forward.

And no, it isn't in any way similar to "no true Scotsman". There is a pretty simple and clear definition of what responsive design is, and that goalpost does not move from example to example. There are cases of responsive design that interfere with the user. There are other cases where you would only notice that it's responsive if you actually compared the site on mobile vs. on the desktop. The latter is good design, while the former is bad design.

Which credit union would that be? Given that my cube mate just refinanced his Mortgage at 3.375%, no points, I sense there is an arbitrage opportunity here somewhere.

I am willing to wager your credit union is not paying you 3.5% APY on your checking account. That is, if you had $10,000 in your checking account at the end of the year, and you just left it there, you would not have $10,375 at the end of year.

There is a restriction/surcharge in there that you haven't mentioned.
I'd also happily pay considerably more for things like Spotify and Hulu Plus and Netflix in exchange for bigger catalogs and sufficient amounts getting passed to the creators to fund the production of future content.

I don't see any way to keep physical media from being phased out, and if that's inevitable I prefer a streaming model to a rebuy-for-each-new-digital-format model.

Mantis Shrimp Boasts Most Advanced Eyes
Does everyone hate infomercial salesmen that sell crap at 4am in the morning on TV? I don't know. Some do some don't.

Those that see through the lies are probably laughing at them, those that already bought the product and found out it is useless and doesn't live up to touted capabilities probably hate them.

Now don't get me wrong. In a practical way (disregarding ethical consideration) they took a risk. They quickly gained a lot of customers because their benchmarks looked very good.

So in a certain way people probably already forgot about the competitors at that time, because those competitors never made it so far. Now MongoDB is here years later and stories of hidden data corruption (and this is one of worst thing that could happen to a database) have started to emerge. Yes, by this time Mongo has the mind-share but now it is time to also pay the price for their design choice. They are probably still ahead.
Tesla Unveils Supercharger Network, Promises Solar-Powered Charging
Firstly, we'd need a massive expansion of the Tor network. While Tor might be quite well known among the more technically inclined, the network itself is of course largely composed of volunteer systems and is quite small:
http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/

As of writing, the number of Tor routers is in the low thousands and of course only a minority of those are exit nodes. Technically savvy people like the HN readership (who also often have a strong online civil rights interest) make pretty good candidates for helping the network out via running a Tor relay!
Everyone is unique, in a sense. The real trip-up in that logic is, just because something is one-of-a-kind doesn't mean it has infinite value.
Exactly. ..and while I can appreciate the frustrations and tales of woe, I read the #*%#k out of the docs as well as build a number of prototypes before I go all in. I also read all the top questions on StackOverflow on that tech, as well as any blogs that mention it.
Also: google "technology name" sucks to find out all the naysayers so you know what the downsides are from people in the field and make sure you are prepared to deal with them.

If you do the five minute quickstart guide, and read the feature list, and throw it into the mix, well...

Both are clearly stated in the documentation. Anyone that puts any DB into production without reading all the documentation beforehand is foolish and has no room to complain. If there are only "experimenting" then at what point will they read the documentation?
Designing With Code
With an increasingly complex array of platforms and screen resolutions, it’s time to embrace the creative capabilities of HTML5 + CSS3 and make development part of the design process.
I have the original book, which is an amazing piece of work. Full explanation for the OS, the assembler, and C compiler. The explanations are remarkably clear and approachable and the author has not stinted in providing explanations of his design and put in the extra work to really make this a complete OS implementation with the necessary toolset. At the time (which mostly predates the OSS revolution), this was a rare, rare thing. Tanenbaum's book on Minix is really the only thing that compares, in my opinion. Had the author released the code as OSS long ago, this would be much more widely known and used. But he refused to open it right around the time that Linux was becoming popular. And the rest is history. Still, it's an excellent book and an amazing piece of work.

The way solar works in california for small installations is you just produce it and use it and whatever you do not use just send it to the electric company. If you need power you are not producing then you just take it from the electric grid. The electric company has to take your excess power (by law). The electric company then subtracts the power you put in from the power you use and only charges you for the difference.

So currently you do not have to worry about batteries or storage. You only have to worry about producing on average about as much as you use. The electric company does not have to worry about storage either because times of high sunshine always coincide with times of high electricity demand (due to air-conditioning).

So currently one can easily install and use solar without ever worrying about batteries or storage. If we ever get to the point where we rely exclusively on solar and wind, we will have to start worrying about storage, but this point is far off for now. Also, at that point the responsibility for storage will likely fall on the electric companies.
It definitely looks like a thousand hours or more of research to track all that down just for the one category. Very admirable.
Essentially they end up rebuilding the "transaction log" that most RDBMS's use to commit data safely.

Before any data is written to the "data" files of the database, it is written to a "log" file sequentially. Once that has succeeded, it will write to the data file, then write to the log file again to say that the write was successful.

That way if the database breaks during the write, the system knows about it. It's also useful because it allows you to restore the database to a point in time, as you have a full log of all the transactions run (and you know how to un-run them).

In this case, they just make the transaction log a little more accessible.

For your example, erroneous historical data would remain in the system but with a new record being added indicating that at a certain date and time the old record was replaced with the new one.

Basically if you think of a store processing a purchase for $100 and refund of $100 as 2 transactions (for $100 and -$100) rather than simply deleting the first transaction.

This is important because things may have happened between the deposit of money and its refunding (e.g. interest payments).
"Conflating the storage of data with how it is queried" is a misinformed criticism of the relational model. Codd's Relational Algebra (Turing Award material) was in large part a move towards data independence, relaxing what was previously a tight coupling of storage format and application access patterns. Take a look at Rules 8 and 9, or just read the original paper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codds_12_rules

> "Activities of users at terminals and most application programs should remain unaffected when the internal representation of data is changed and even when some aspects of the external representation are changed."
http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zives/03f/cis550/codd.pdf

It's not clear from the slides how RDBMSs manage to conflate these two concerns in practice.

It's also unclear to me how the "Lambda Architecture" differs from what we've been calling [soft real-time] materialized view maintenance for decades.

> If you care about the data (i.e. it's not a log or something that's not very important), you ought to always use "getLastError"

Wait they are promoting this as a database. It is right there in black on yellow "database". I don't know about you but I suspect most people expect databases to try their hardest to protect data. That means also having safe default. As in when I install it and put data in it, by default it should try hardest to make sure that data doesn't get corrupted. If it doesn't, it doesn't deserve to call itself a database.

> A shitty default, no doubt.

This is not a "oopsie" this is a deliberate lie and misinformation in order to produce fast benchmarks.
Indeed is one of my business' main revenue streams, so I was relieved to see that they'll be kept as a wholly owned subsidiary. The rumor last night was that LinkedIn was going to buy Indeed, and that scared the crap out of me.

If it's for your own development work, Debian/Ubuntu will generate a self-signed SSL certificate when you install the package `ssl-cert`.
If a default configuration of a _database_ product doesn't try its best to keep the data safe it shouldn't be just clearly stated in the documentation. It should be a flashing red banner on the front page and everytime its service process starts.

While SaaS pricing is an ongoing discussion in other HN threads, this site is a good example of a terrible pricing strategy (IMHO). Their freemium model is useless for discovering what the service is capable of, since it only allows for a status post. The premium service is ridiculously over-priced as well -- if the "open sourced FB" model somehow becomes a viable product with a market, I'd expect GoDaddy and others to start offering it for $1-2/month or even less if paid annually.

LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita dev offering month's internship
The problem, I think, is that artists compare Spotify with CD sales, instead of Spotify with piracy. It's hard to determine how much Spotify has decreased both CD sales and piracy, but I'd be putting my bets on it reducing piracy a lot more. It's just so much more convenient.
Out of curiosity, why is it called the lambda architecture?
chimeracoder was saying 75% of kids who are murdered after being kidnapped are murdered within 3 hours of being kidnapped.

Yes, this is already the case in China and I suspect in many places around the world. In Shenzhen, taxis are very cheap and available within 100m around the clock pretty much everywhere. Even if you drive on average 1 hour per day which is very unusual in a high density city, owning a car would probably be more expensive then always taking the taxi. Yet, a lot of people still purchase cars (mostly luxury brands).
In the United States, the state of Vermont passed a similar flurry of Red Flag Laws in 1894. The most infamous of the Red Flag Laws was enacted in Pennsylvania circa 1896, when Quaker legislators unanimously passed a bill through both houses of the state legislature, which would require all motorists piloting their "horseless carriages", upon chance encounters with cattle or livestock to (1) immediately stop the vehicle, (2) "immediately and as rapidly as possible... disassemble the automobile," and (3) "conceal the various components out of sight, behind nearby bushes" until equestrian or livestock is sufficiently pacified.

I keep asking users about this login process and passphrase instead of password.

I did read the article before commenting. A judge is employed by the Government, it's his or her job to uphold the law, making decisions that aren't in the bests interests of an entity or themselves. The judge in this case is obviously upholding Brazils backwards law when it comes to censorship and free speech. Quite to the contrary, Brazil and the US have far from identical judicial systems.

If you have the money in Brazil you can get anyone into trouble who has offended you where-as in the US and other places it's not as easy because the US judicial system fortunately for you and others is not nearly as corrupt.

In a normal database, you would possibly switch 'durable writes' and possibly 'time expiration' feature in the configuration file from the default OFF to ON.
that'll probably be helpful once I have potential cofounders in place. I need help identifying and soliciting candidates first.
So far we've established that:
1. you run with assertions always on in production,
2. you have encountered errors caught by the always-on assertions in production (it may be "seldom," but then all errors are seldom, hopefully.)

How does this not prove my point? Turning off error checking is stupid. Your software will never be bug-free. Start dealing with reality and rename your assertions to sanity checks, which is what they are and always have been.

One of my favourite books is 'On Giants' Shoulders' by Melvyn Bragg, based on Sir Isaac Newton's quote "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". As you say, it goes to show we're all inspired by, and building upon, each other.

As for Pinterest, I guess they dominate references to the dynamic grid layout as they popularised it with the masses, so it's an identifiable reference for those who otherwise might not know what's meant by 'dynamic grid'.
I've tried buying some downloads. I still use Spotify for everything, but some stuff isn't on there. But when I go to an artists site, and they pretty much say "buy it on iTunes" it's all over for me. iTunes is horrible and not exactly "cheap" either, it almost costs me as much as a physical copy, yet the cost for the label is much lower. I would love to use Amazon MP3, but I am not american.
