No official Google Drive[0] support (but we do have Dropbox)
No official Garmin Connect[1] support

All in all, that's not bad. All monitors, ebook readers, mp3 players, cameras, printers, wifi, mice/keyboards have all been perfect out of the box for years (for me).

Looks awesome. I think you should reverse your header and sub-header, though.

"Simple user accounts and analytics for your website" is a much clearer description than "Social Authentication Done Right."
This smells like the best cost efficient device to use as a media center for the living room. Cheap, put Ubuntu on it for VLC. Leave it on and plugged to your big screen tv 100% of the time. Use my main laptop on my couch to store files via lan, and remote control it.

Is there any better alternative to this? Today I just plug my laptop in and out of the tv when I want to watch, and use my tablet as remote control. I have a xbox, but it's so bad compared to having full vlc. I would pay 250 to save me the trouble of connecting my laptop to the TV. It would be the perfect setup of my dreams.
You know how the IE team sent (do they still?) cakes to Mozilla for Firefox major version releases? This is the opposite of that.
Your reasoning is nonsense. The doxxing rule is designed to prevent harassment of female and other Reddit users. Reddit.com draws its line at onsite vs offsite, not female vs not female.
Apparently the BBC opposes the removal of the iranian/persian channels as well. From the article "we strongly condemn any practice designed to disrupt audiences’ free access to news and information."
If that was the case then why aren't people installing Android on their PC's or laptops? Or windows 7 on a smartphone?

ChromeOS and Android do different things.
The powerful are not as equal as the powerless. That should not be ignored.
And web browsers :)
I remember seeing something similar a while back for iPhone which I was very excited to try out (but never did).

I can't recall the app name, but I remember the UI. After typing a certain term, you could cycle through different webOS-style cards which represented different queried services.

I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Solid start.
Works fine here. Github is down for me though.
I really want to buy it, and I don't even mind $20 that much but given that they've got so few tokens I'm actually going to leave it for someone who uses Twitter on the desktop way more than I would. I think it's a reasonable price given the situation.
User Satisfaction vs Performance Metrics
er Warren Buffet learned from a guy called Benjamin Graham who's books are still in print and considered clasics the K&R or Kunth of investing if you will.

Try "the intelligent investor."
The ranking algorithm is that simple. http://amix.dk/blog/post/19574

Watch articles that are critical of Apple or Google, or those are not critical of Microsoft, most of the time they get flagged down by overzealous fans.

Edit: Happening right now to this very article :)
Don't begin your ppt with "Our History" or "Our Vision"
Tapbots are two developers. Tweetbot was released as an alpha in July, and at least from the blog, was started in 2012.

So for approximately 10 months work, $1.4M divided by 2 developers, so, annualized, about $1M/yr/developer.

That's not including the fact that during the same time frame, they're developing and releasing more applications (sources of revenue).

That's some labour of love, even if you factor in 3 more years of ongoing maintenance and development.

I'd love to have a labour of love that nets me around $250,000/year income as a base.
2) The avoidance of C-corps has to do with double taxation and
high-marginal rates on the second level of taxation. So, again,
this analysis is flawed. The absence of C-corps is evidence that
the tax rate/s in fact makes them un-economic and thus illogical
to bring into existence.

Exactly right. A good tax system would provide limited tax advantages (or maybe even added costs) to filing as a pass-thru entity, allowing companies to use the appropriate tax structure, and help make policy appropriately targeted for businesses vs. individuals.

Obama's business tax blueprint explicitly addresses this:

(iii) Distorting the form of businesses.

Business may be organized under a variety of different forms,
including C-corporations, S-corporations, partnerships, and
sole-proprietorships. These organizational forms offer varying
legal, regulatory, and tax treatments. The primary difference in
tax treatment between C-corporations, on the one hand, and
S-corporations, partnerships, and sole-proprietorships, on the
other, is applicability of the corporate income tax. C-corporations
are subject to the corporate tax, while pass-through entities are
not.

The combined effect of this varying tax treatment has contributed
to a lower effective tax rate for pass-through entities relative to
C-corporations. The effective marginal tax rate on new investment
by C-corporations is now 32.3 percent, while the effective marginal
tax rate on new investment by passthrough businesses 26.4
percent.

...

The ability of large pass-through entities to take advantage of
preferential tax treatment has placed businesses organizing as
C-corporations at a disadvantage. By allowing large pass-through
entities preferential treatment, the tax code distorts choices of
organizational form, which can lead to losses in economic efficiency;
business managers should make choices about organizational form
based on criteria other than tax treatment.

...

Reduce the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent.
This reduction in the rate would put the United States in line with
other advanced countries, help encourage greater investment in the
United States, and reduce the tax-related economic distortions
discussed above.

As a person who has just spent a bunch of time deciding on my form of business, I consider the S-Corp option to, in fact, be distortive (and costly, from a time and accounting cost perspective). I am glad that this discussion is happening in policy circles, and that Obama explicitly addresses it in his blueprint, even though it is not really part of the public discussion.

"We are experiencing issues due to a DDOS attack, working hard to restore service"
>The iOS App Store is a Race to the Bottom

It is very easy to build something the 2nd time especially when your competitor has invested heavily into working out the kinks. For many software-chop-shops it makes sense to find something with high downloads and without much competition, rip it off, and sell it at 1/2 the price. Repeat ad nauseum.

I think the only way to curb this race to the bottom is to re-introduce brand recognition to the consumer base. If software company X is known for producing well-tested-reliable software then I wouldn't hesitate to pay 20-50% more for their version of the software. Unless Windows Software does this I think it'll just be another lowest-bidder-wins marketplace.
It is a stretch to call Android a "staggering business failure" based on losses incurred by Motorola. Android wasn't intended to make money directly -- it was intended to protect Google's real interests (remote services that drive advertising revenue). Closed mobile platforms could easily cut Google off from their users, and ultimately their revenue stream.

Perhaps it wasn't smart for Google to get into the hardware business in the mobile space. But calling Android a business failure because of it? No way.
Apparently it's due to DDOS:

I think it's probably my fault. Github seems to go down every time I start poking around in someone else's projects.

Nokia maps are accessible on iPhone without trouble.
You're right. It was a Friday evening, we got our blunts out, played some Afroman, and said "hey, we're going to stop doing exactly what we've been doing since 2006 and we're going to bluntly copied woopra.com". It's a shame we had to be exposed like this.
GitHub says it's a DDOS attack that's hampering their services.
This article is a useful combination of "here are some very real reasons the Windows app store is different" and "waaaaah i don't like competition don't make things cheap and impair my ability to make a living off of users; you'd better collude to make things more expensive or you're bad people." To the first part, I say, bravo. To the second, I say, call me a waa-mbulance. :P
Doubt it. Why would Apple want to alienate Sequoia of all venture funds? It's more likely that Sequoia called Apple and they worked out a soft landing for some people.
I hope this works out for the Windows developers, but I have a suspicion that it wasn't the developers alone who ruined the iOS App Store.

And, unfortunately, it really is "ruined"[1]. I started my current project as an iPhone app, then decided to move to an iPad, but, six months ago, after really evaluating the market, I realized I needed to make my product a web-based subscription with mobile features (probably embodied as apps). There was no way I could charge enough for my app to make a business, since I'm not creating a product that caters to the tens of millions.

1. It is ruined in the context of being able to make a living on an app without getting insanely lucky. There is little a company can do to market around the luck factor, and prices are so low that there is no middle ground.
Chrome Secure Shell uses Native Client:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhec...

So I doubt it will work with the Chromebooks coming out. I could be wrong. I have no experience with the other SSH tools available for Chrome.

I'm a big fan of Chrome Remote Desktop:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desk...

I use it from my Cr-48 to drive my home desktop computer. My corporate IT guys have blocked it, though (even the outgoing connections) which bums me out. Games are not playable, but otherwise, it's darn good.
If it ends up as a thing I'll be surprised and proud.
They said they're under a DDoS attack https://twitter.com/github/statuses/259029493669310464
Ok, this is confusing. IF the license allows you to use the font in a commercial product, how does it then not allow you to redistribute or sell the same product? Isn't the selling / redistribution part what makes a product commercial in the first place?
Smart developers will charge money one way or another, but there will be a race to the bottom for most verticals. Now that a single individual for $100 can get a distribution license and ship an app that does something, the barrier is too low to force higher prices or higher quality. As long as that individual is willing to sell their product for cheaper than the next product, eventually there is a race to the bottom.

Software's incremental cost is $0 on the app store, so you can sell it for $0 and throw a few ads on it, and if the dev makes > $0 they might be happy with that, and if they aren't they'll adjust prices upward until they get what they want.

Also, this doesn't happen with physical distribution usually because things can't sell for less than the cost to manufacture, distribute, and sell. At least, the price for physical goods doesn't hit $0.
Cool - thanks
Or just make it free, since it's no longer useful for new users.

Is the performance on these queries good?
Cars with 300K miles on them driving fully autonomously are vaporware? Seriously?
Thanks. I misread the article and thought they had to "continue running the ad". As if they were already running it. Switched off my adblocker for nothing it seems :)
And taking someone's picture is far less offensive than murder, which a large part of the population believes includes abortion. Should Reddit ban abortion resources?

I'm surprised that Google hasn't used Motorola to make a nexus device yet.

Samsung seems to be doing pretty well for themselves making android devices, it doesn't seem too much of a stretch for Motorola to do the same.
I really like the move by noisy typing,the detail analysis shown is really helpful for developer's like me when they enter into this gaming zone.
I just want raise one query here,is it better to have a lite and paid version,in order keep everybody checked?

At this rate postgres will be making the tea by the end of next week.
HN is much slower here as well. Is HN also targeted?
I don't think the status site is actually on the same infrastructure… maybe it's being DDOSed as well.
Yep after the last major outage they switched to Heroku
For what it does, there is no reason to need to swap it out in the next two years.

this is totally childish, i have been using ubuntu for last 6 years and never have had complains with their working. they used to do splendid job by delivering the cds at door steps in shipit program. but this step of defaming competitors is never gonna help, it is going to become a part of criticism.
Did you make any progress with python? I'm not much of a ruby guy.
Author here; I don't feel that way about #2 at all.

You know what I don't want? To read bunch of stories about how the Windows Store is a "terrible opportunity for developers" and "no one is making money" because developers recreated the same economic problems that plague the iOS app store in the Windows Store.

Developers learn from their mistakes when they screw up their code; they should similarly learn from their mistakes when they screw up their marketing and pricing. So far, haven't seen much of the latter looking at what's currently available in the Windows Store.

The bottom line is: as an app publisher, how you set price / payment expectations with your user is almost more important than what your app actually does if your goal is to build a sustainable business for yourself. Taking the time to survey the ecosystem and realize that the market forces of Windows 8 are different and potentially much more lucrative is well worth the investment.

Huh? Gmail is the Chrome app. There will never be a separate Chrome version of Gmail. Over time Gmail is using more HTML5 features, but those work on other browsers too.
Ah, my mistake. Some HN story linked to https://github.com/status which was down when I was posting the Twitter status.
Github status: "We've temporarily disabled service on port 80 while we investigate the source of a connection flood. HTTPS, GIT, and SSH service are unaffected."

Great way to keep the git push/pull workflow unaffected.
Even if the official position was against using downmods to show disagreement, it'd not be enforceable. As soon as a large enough group starts using the "disagree" button, almost everyone would follow the trend.

"We are experiencing issues due to a DDOS attack, working hard to restore service"
You just discredited his opinion by stating that his perspective isn't an accurate depiction of regulatory issues for small businesses. Then you went and made your argument siting regulatory problems for small banks.

You discount an argument as anecdotal and not applicable and then support your argument with another anecdote.
> "both, togther"

That's always been the answer.
Author doesn't seem to know about the Mac App Store (http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/app-store.html)
There's a lot of pressure working in our favor. There's pressure from (increasingly powerful) developers to use specialized DBs to solve specialized problems. There's pressure to do more with less operations people, DBAs in particular since they're exceptionally difficult to hire. And there's pressure to get things running more quickly.

Anyway, we think we're in a pretty good spot. We could be entirely wrong, though.

You can measure fonts using JS to avoid having to have flash to do font based fingerprinting, eg http://www.lalit.org/lab/javascript-css-font-detect/. There's also the option to attempt to set the font and then get the style of the element and see if it's using the new font (works only on FF and Opera IIRC), eg http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/getstyles.html).
> programming culture encourages data-driven decision-making

You have to be kidding.

Actuarial work, bioinformatics, social science. These are data-driven cultures. They actually require scientifically valid and methodologically sound data to make a claim.

Programming, on the other hand, is dominated by fashion. Language wars, methodology wars, business bullshit, buzzword chasing. Programming is not data-driven AT ALL! When was the last time a computer scientist actually did some SCIENCE? When was the last time a programmer actually ran a double blind study?

99% of programming is not data-driven whatsoever. The sweeping decisions in programming are made by corporate big wigs operating on their intuition, or are design choice (extremely subjective!) made by "architects" who, for instance, created UNIX.

Were the people who created Python, Ruby, Java, C, etc DATA-DRIVEN? What studies did they use to decide that so-and-so feature should be like this and not like this?

Programming is mostly a craft and has essentially nothing to do with being data-driven. Doing A-B tests does not mean your culture is data driven when A-B tests are like 0.1% of everything you do. And most A-B tests are methodologically unsound anyway and would be shamed out of any real social science department.

Economics, on the other hand, is an actual science with actual data that performs actual methodologically sound studies using advanced statistics. Practicing economists have to use actual valid data procured from real studies to have careers. Programmers mostly twiddle their bits around until something works. That IS NOT being data driven.

Programming is NOT a science.
Probably it's only all of us swarming here as GH and YT are down ;)
I would happily pay $20 for Tweetbot. It's a great app: well designed, easy to use, intuitive.
We have a Cr-48, and we've used the 3G several times. The monthly caps get you surprisingly far, if you're doing simple things like GMail and Google Docs.

And when we've needed it, we've used the "unlimited for 24 hours," which has been fine. It's a tad pricey.

I mean, the 3G in the Chromebook is NOT going to be your new ISP. You will continue to use WiFi the vast majority of the time. But every now and then, you won't have WiFi. 3G to the rescue.

My wife used it last year, while we were driving cross-country, to watch Youtube videos for class, write a paper for one of her classes, and apply to summer educational opportunities (on a web page with hundreds of questions). Without the 3G, we would have had to NOT DRIVE on our trip, which we also needed to do. We would have had to buy a 3G fob from Best Buy or Verizon, or sign up for tethering the phone with Verizon - both of which are MORE expensive for the one or two times a year when you really need it.

They were already running their status site on Heroku prior to the last major service outage.
I did misunderstand. My bad.
Why is it $20?

Because it's worth that much. I didn't even give it any thought – I just hit the purchase button the moment I read I could.

They shouldn't have written this with the sheepish, question-marked headline. They don't need to apologize or feel bashful, though I get why they would. It's a great desktop app. It costs what it costs. Anyone who doesn't like that is just leaving more tokens for the rest of us.
If you claim X =/= 1,2,3,4, or 5 and I show that X can equal 3, I have discredited your claim.
