I agree that 10 years is much too optimistic for most places, but I think it's possible. I wasn't looking towards public transportation directly, actually, in my assumption of how this is going to be solved. Rather, I think a much bigger event will be large networks of self-driving cars. Maybe Sao Paulo will "never" see them, but plenty of cities will, and those cars will do wonders in solving congestion issues.

Combine self-driving cars with increased and improved public transport, and I'd bet a few large cities have it all solved on the 10-ish year timeframe. As far as the California High Speed Rail project...well, that's not how to solve the problem. At least not in my opinion.
I think YOU missed something. smacktoward understood the sarcasm, translated it, and commented on the message itself. You're the one who did not read or undertand the comment carefully.

This is my new startup and I'd love to get your feedback. It reached 500K+ members with only viral.

Basically you can think of it as Formspring with chat. You set up an account for people to chat with you anonymously. As their identities are anonymous your friends can ask everything to you that they normally cannot ask. They can tell their thoughts and criticisms about you.

Moreover, you have an opportunity to chat anonymously with celebrities you admire through Connected2.me. You can tell your problems to specialists such as psychologists by keeping your identity secret and get an instant answer. Companies also use Connected2.me in order to get anonymous feedback about their products and give support to their customers real-time.

Please try and tell me what you think.

My first reaction when seeing this link here was "Yes, please !".

Now that I read it, I'll try it. Feedburner having been dead for already a few days, as mentionned here, did help.

[EDIT]
Wait, what ? I want to sign up and it's talking about email subscribers. I don't know what this is. I've been using feedburner all these year to get analytics on my RSS feeds, not for email subscribers.

[EDIT²]
Perhaps you could state clearly what's your app's purpose is ? Does it do RSS analytics as feedburner ?
I figured out how to reproduce this - click on 'create screen' without entering anything into the input field. It creates a blank canvas that doesn't accept any elements.
Having a window.onError hook that logs the traces to your backend can really help you debugging clientside stuff like this! :)
Also i can recommend logging (at least during your demo phase) a complete click-trhough of what your users are doing so you can reproduce it at will, using for instance http://www.clicktale.com/
> For those of you who claim that the right thing in this situation would be to turn the child over to the authorities - what exactly do you think the authorities are going to do to make this situation better?

The authorities are going to stop the harrassment.

You seem to be under the illusion that harrassed people have some obligation to help their harrassers.

Feel free to help this wayward person but you're way out of line in complaining that the victim didn't do so.
I have done this and can confirm it was really easy to do the fix. It works, but it should be noted that if you leave your cartridges pushed down in the system all the time it will just wear out quickly again. The design is just flawed.
I'm anxiously waiting for the remaining parts. :)
No, I'm saying religion seems more likely to do this than college. Cheaper too.
I am Brazilian, and I can confirm everything is well with Google and YouTube over here :) Brazil does not have the centralized capability to shutdown sites.

Having said that, the decision might not seem that crazy once you know more about the local electoral laws: Each party has a free quota of TV ad spots (it's actually good because it gives a voice to smaller parties), and because they are free they need to follow certain rules such as no personal attacks.

The electoral judge has the the power to arrest media bosses because historically media has a huge influence in Brazilian elections (for example, the owner of the major TV network actually elected a president several years ago).

Google is being treated in this case as any other mainstream media, and its president is being held accountable. Sounds a little crazy, but these were all protections put in place as a result of decades of dictatorship and disproportionate power enjoyed by the elites.
There was a slight issue where the mousemove event wouldn't trigger if you dragged too slowly :) That has been fixed. Is it working better for you now?
One thing about ARM is generally ARM chips need SoC specific drivers. If Windows 8 has drivers for this chip, Windows 8 will run. Chances are, if Apple does this and wishes for Boot Camp to continue, they will package the drivers for Windows 8. If they wish to discontinue Boot Camp, they won't.
> Large in that evolution describes how complex systems can exist without a creator.

Unless you're claiming that evolution is the only explanation for complex systems, that's not enough.

And if you are, I'll ask where I can see animals with wheels for locomotion and animals that use internal combustion.

I believe in evolution, but most arguments offered by evolutionists against creationism are crap.

Watch The Watchers: 'Trusted' Employees Can Do Damage
It does cost more, it does take longer, but it is basically worth it if only because you are delivering a better user experience on every device. That is the point of responsive design.

Also, to that end, a good responsive design is not going to destroy your ability to navigate the page. It should make it easier.

The hard part of responsive design is dealing with pages that don't always have the same layout. It is a lot of manual tweaking and better tools and frameworks are needed to make responsive design faster, easier, cheaper. It's still largely a new technique.

But, after being knee deep in a responsive site redesign from the ground up, it's totally worth it for the end user.

Awesome that Shuttleworth replied, and in good humor.

I still totally buy that ads are step one to Ubuntu integrating more closely with Amazon, and the latter making a pretty bold device play.
Yep, Backbone.js and CoffeeScript. It actually started as a side project to learn CoffeeScript once and for all. I'm hooked now.

Mavericks: Geniuses or Jerks?
I believe "Steve Jobs" personality would not survive a typical corporate environment. To begin with, he's anti-authoritarian. This quality alone means that he will be in constant combat with his managers - not good for a new hire. Secondly, he's disrespectful of legacy paradigms and established corporate policies as it relates to product development and execution.

Mavericks who are geniuses cannot blossom in a corporate environment, despite their genius. It is an illusion if corporations believe they can tolerate mavericks without destroying morale.
Understanding it was sarcasm requires taking the time to do more than just skim the article. Or knowing Jason in particular. I made the same mistake of taking it seriously. The assumption that the overwhelming majority of people seeing this post would assume and know it is sarcasm really detracts from using HN as a useful part of one's day.

People expect a video link to be labeled as such, why not "sarcasm" as part of the subject? (Answer, might not get as many points or people who know it's sarcasm won't be able to laugh at the "fools" who were taken by it?

What if the article had been about best practices in security programming and the person reading it was new to the game? What if it dealt with hashing of passwords and gave the wrong info? How would you expect a beginner to necessarily know that? Where do you draw the line.

A few things:

"Stay in stealth mode until the last minute."

That's his opinion. Nothing screams out if this is his first statement that this is obviously bogus as a strategy.

"You need your sleep!"

That's actually true.

"Steve Jobs didn’t work constantly, Bill Gates had lots of hobbies, Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t tethered to his laptop"

From popular culture the above is contradicted.

But how do you expect someone who hasn't been following all of this for many years to know that and how do you know if Jason read something that just recently came out (that you didn't) that claims that Bill Gates had lots of hobbies?
> Biology is large, and you cannot seriously study modern biology if you flat out deny evolution. Suggestions to the contrary are simply absurd.

If that was true, we could identify the intelligent design people by their scientific output. Instead, we find that evolutionists have to look at other evidence to purge them from the ranks of scientists.

Evolution is a big deal so how about using valid arguments?

> Knuth is Lutheran iirc, he could fall either way, I don't know which.

The claim was that creationists can't do any valid science. If you can't look at Knuth's "work product" and tell us whether he's a creationist, the claim is clerly false.

I agree that creationists can't do some types of science, but the actual instances are fairly small.

Not sure whether they should mimic GUI tools, however having tools which provide a graphical user interface, but are fully functional (or at least as much as is possible) from the CLI is the ideal way for a program to be in my opinion.

Where applicable, a command line option can be a great supplement when something that can be achieved via the GUI . For example, encoding a video to a certain codec, having a visual wrapper on this is a nice to have if converting one video or a few videos. However if that same application allows the ability to encode thousands of videos using the CLI option, its an added ability that is appreciated.
Show HN: Easily see and choose Adobe's Webfonts
I got tired of looking at Adobe's Webfonts one by one, so I complied it to a list.
Fully agree, and that is my philosophy as well. It's working great since I live on my own and can therefore choose exactly where I want to live, but that is often (usually?) not an option for families.
Sweet spot between heavy IDE and notepad. I like it!

I plan on using this on my next site. One question, though: is there a way to know which version of bootstrap and such the editor is using?
> Maybe I am really stretching, but if evolution wasn't real, then many machine learning algorithms wouldn't work.

You're really stretching. No one denies selective breeding. The evolution claim is much stronger, and isn't necessary for machine learning.

Why would you make such an absurd claim?
I think a lot of the "hating" is a side effect of MongoDB being consistently oversold in terms of its capabilities

A large part of that is that 10gen are much better at marketing than they are at tech. For example, they like to pitch against the Oracle database, and for certain use cases, MongoDB is better than Oracle RDBMS. But if you were to take those cases to Oracle, they would say well don't use the database for that, use our other product Coherence (which was Tangosol before they bought them). And Coherence spanks MongoDB in every possible way. You could write a bestselling novel about it, 50 Shards Of Grey.

Another example here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4533760

And if you hate Oracle, there are a bunch of free things that do what MongoDB does a hell of a lot better. Why waste time with its cheesy MapReduce when you could have ICE http://www.zeroc.com/overview.html for example?
Would Apple approve the Google Maps app for sale? Historically haven't they frowned on apps that provided similar functionality to built-in apps?

> When I can't run my own software, and drop to a terminal with the standard UNIX tool chain, I'll but the argument. But there's no sign of this so far.

You can run your own software and drop to a terminal with the standard UNIX tool chain on your iPhone, too. You just have to jailbreak it first.

So Apple is really one flip of the switch away ...
That's a good idea; I will try and write up such a "low level" post this week. As a preview, the things that will prominently feature in the post are - RStudio, custom functions/aggregates in Postgres PL/R, and Sweave. (yes I am a R fanboy).
Cut some slack - sarcasm leads to some convoluted negation chains based on implicit and idiomatic translations of the sarcasm. It can be difficult for native speakers who are well acclimated culturally to follow, let alone anyone who isn't a native speaker. Doubly so in text without tonal and non-verbal cues of how statements are meant.
Could you try again? We just pushed a fix for some dragging issues.
I think a better solution is a way to get server side stats for RSS feeds.
I actually agree with the juxt of what he is saying, though the article could have been better, maybe with a more in depth analysis of user experiences, examples and actual data.

If you have a modern mobile browser and if the site itself does not meet any special mobile criteria/demographic/call-to-action, let's be honest this is the vast majority, then the default experience actually trumps the responsive one.

ps. I say this having a mildly popular responsive framework on github, and I don't care because I often prefer non responsive BUT well build sites in the default view on mobile.

Get a Signed Letter of Intent
Exactly, it's not like Apple didn't reach out to the unix community last year and work on putting together a slick command line tools package to make projects like homebrew even easier to use and support. If you're the sort of user who compiles a lot of software in the command line it's pretty easy to forget that launchpad even exists. And so what if it does?
What about Powell's? (Number one reason for a nerd to visit...)
If you can tell me how to set up Lion to use my preferred Snow Leopard hot corner settings, I'll be forever grateful:

* Top left corner: Show all four spaces in a 2x2 grid

* Top right corner: Show all current application windows

* Bottom right corner: Show desktop

* Bottom left corner: Show all windows

I've been using this setup (minus the Spaces part) since 10.3, and have yet to find a workflow I prefer for managing windows on a laptop screen's limited space when using a laptop with no external displays hooked up. I'd prefer to also have Leopard-and-before style proportionally-sized Expose to SL's grid, but that's a minor thing.

Lion's Full Screen Mode and Mission Control appear to have made things more "accessible" (and oh, are people often surprised by my setup when borrowing my laptop for a bit and inadvertently hitting a corner!) but I can't find any way to replicate what I had before. As far as I can tell, the options are just gone.

And I find the removal of features I'd come to love really disturbing, especially coupled with the move away from hardware upgradability/expandability.

As far as moving the Mac to ARM goes... that's in all likelihood the day I buy another ThinkPad. And for pretty much exactly the same reasons as the first time, when my PowerPC-based PowerBook G4 just didn't have enough power, and couldn't virtualize x86 OSes for testing/dabbling/whatever.
Cloud Foundry now supports Clojure Apps
Yeah, it's pretty a bad practice blocking on user agent. Re: Opera - I just think it's a pain and an unwanted cost to support Opera. Though my dislike for Opera comes mainly from having developed mobile apps for a long time and having to deal with debugging though their "enhancing" proxy.

Love this; extremely useful.

One suggestion: a "quick search" bar that would let you add elements by starting to type the names of things, similar to Balsamiq Mockups. It's a bit of a pain to navigate through the menus to find the right element.
what a stupid title
Also, I don't see how those changes in the software level has anything to do with the ISA its targeting. Same thing with the upgradable components. Just because you are using an ARM core doesn't mean you can't support SATA and DDR3 buses.
With this approach, you don't have to store or remember your password. Just "reset and forget" whenever you want to start a new session. The only risk is in the few minutes your temporary password is in transit and sits in your inbox before you replace it with something ridiculously difficult to crack (or remember). It would be awesome if password reset pages offered the option of encrypting with a PGP public key to eliminate even that risk.

The NYTimes Indictment of Data Centers Misses the Big Picture
Nor would we reasonably expect those avenues to be closed off to developers even if, from a consumer standpoint, the device does become 'closed off' by guiding consumers through the app store to get their software. Developers need under-the-hood access, and Apple has always understood that devs, at least, need freedom.

Fair point, they did rather neuter spaces (I guess to get more people using it, but at the expense of power users). All other options still work. I'm not at my machine to lookup settings, but ML added a "Don't group windows" to Mission Control that pretty much replicates Expose from SL (just ignore the Spaces view at the top).

Well, honestly, offsetting the expense from "gas" to whatever products/entertainment/services/food that will be available is farking FANTASTIC.

Its not like they will be forced to buy whatever is in these stops - but the fact that the consumer can now actually CHOOSE what to spend those funds on is wonderful.

I HATE BUYING GAS

I currently don't drive at all (I bike to bart and bart to work) - and my car had its starter go out, so I haven't even been inside a car in more than a month.

I have always hated buying gas - I feel like I am being extorted every single time (and yes, I still harbor a grudge against bush/cheney whom I feel is largely responsible for this situation - whether this is unfounded blame or not, I still feel good about it :) )
The issue is not the limit; it's the silent failure. 32-bit Oracle doesn't do that, it tells you it can't extend the tablespace by raising an exception.
ARM started as a desktop platform and, at the time, it was much faster clock for clock than what Intel offered. I believe you can find benchmarks of that time comparing the Archimedes to high end PCs.

Current ARMs are designed to save power, but there is nothing preventing Apple (or anyone else) from designing one for speed.
