I used it on my old htc espresso for a while now. Earlier this year I tried it on my friend's htc evo 3d and it didn't work. It seems that it didn't support arm11 devices. It is too bad since I was trying to convince him to try python :(. I don't know if it support arm11 devices now.
Propaganda involves a deliberate attempt to provoke a desired emotional reaction. As a rough rule of thumb, if the author seeks to make you feel rather than think, it's propaganda. This is generally done with techniques such as distortion of facts, omission of truths, caricatured images, extreme simplification of complex situations and so forth.

Contrary to some opinions, propaganda is not just about making you dislike someone or something else. Montages of your own people/accomplishments/military force, accompanied by stirring music, for example, is propaganda.
This is just silly. Internet is for data transport. Imagine if cities are responsible that someone is transporting stolen goods on their roads, or Ford has to keep track of what their car owners transport in the car...
Hey James.. Thanks for the nice words! Yeah I have had a few issues with knowing what font files load fastest - I am still very much a beginner! Very nice to have your words of encouragement, let me know if you have any more thoughts or feedback! :)
If Bob then uploads a bunch of tracks the company can sue for the cost of each track, multiplied by the number of people in each swarm, plus costs. This gives the ridiculous many-thousand dollar sums.

That's actual damages, and in practice labels find those too small, so they go after statutory damages instead, which is why the different appeals in the Capitol v. Thomas case have awarded them completely disparate amounts, from $54,000 to $1,920,000, for sharing 24 songs on Kazaa.
Useful, interesting are very subjective terms. Just like when people take pride in the fact 'science' put a thing on Mars while 'religion' can't do such a thing.

Supernatural explanations can be and are (sometimes) wrong. If someone says that this or that supernatural phenomenon took place, and it didn't, then their statement is false.

If I tell you that a certain rock was created on the spot by a supernatural being, and that is exactly what happened, than my statement is an explanation of what happened.

Testable predictions are an addagio that is specific to natural sciences. Asking to every single explanation for any kind of phenomena out there to have testable predictions is a sign of dogmatism and ideological bigotry.
That’s your opinion and helps no one decide.
Actually, having lived in India for a while in the 90s I can tell you that (if you lived in India at that time) you are likely to be more biased against the US (and other NATO powers) and more biased towards Russia and the Arab states.

India was "non-aligned" during the cold war but was fairly tilted towards the USSR (cheap munitions, convenient ideology) and this was conveyed through the strongly controlled media.

Due to the size and volatility of the Muslim population in India there were many moves to appear (and push people to appear) allied with the Arab states and against Israel.

I wonder what, in general, the modern viewpoint is. Young people in India now are more into consumer goods and I think less political than they were 20 years ago, but I only get brief snapshots now.
No, this is just something I decided to build on a weekend.

Just some advice:

When I clicked on "What is Evemi" I spend about 30 seconds waiting for the page to fully load before I realised I had to click. Maybe I've just tired but it was a bit difficult for me to realise what was going on.

Also when I look at how evemi works, the pictures you have are a bit too small for me to read the text, im not sure if thats on purpose or not.
Thanks! Glad you've considered it.
The "simple" code completely breaks with cross-compilation. This is because the autoconf macros will first look for the CHOST-pkg-config program (e.g. armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config), which will normally be a wrapper around pkg-config specifying PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR to make pkg-config look for stuff in the target prefix instead of the host. For example, Gentoo's "crossdev" tool automatically generates such a wrapper.

So if we all just start "simplifying" the code like that, we'll end up with lots of cross-compile breakages for packages which cross compiled all right before, and I suppose many people will find the best fix to just revert to using the autoconf macros again, as opposed to hardcoding the procedure for finding the right pkg-config.

Hey there, I really appreciate your advice and I think I agree about the size of the text on the screenshots on the what is evemi page.. I threw that page together quite recently because I had a lot of initial feedback from people saying that they did not fully understand what evemi is and why it could be of value to them but yeah I think it requires some further tinkering to get the message across clearly and to get the design a little better.

"For example, Romney feels that one of the best ways to inspire entrepreneurs is through tax reform. I’ve been to at least a hundred tech related events in NY over the last couple of years. Not one of them had tax management as the central topic of discussion. Clearly taxes are not the main obstacle that stands in the way of any aspiring entrepreneur executing an idea. Besides, most startups incur net losses for their first several years. What is the corporate tax rate on negative $500,000?"

Where the hell do you think most seed money comes from?

"Romney’s entire “best thing we can do is get out of your way” type of approach is not helpful to your average tech entrepreneur. "

C# gives you a better Java. Not all improvements have to be revolutionary; downthread you mention Scala but I think its implicits are too powerful for it to be a safe language. (Generally I find the only appropriate use for implicits is extension methods, which C# supports directly and more naturally).

The big promise of .net, though, is better cross-language integration. Scala is in some sense compatible with Java, but a lot of the library is different (e.g. collections); in practice interop is full of awkward edge cases. F#/C# should behave better, though I haven't used them enough to say how true this is in practice.

Hey why-el, thanks for taking the time to have a look and to make the comment, definitely know this is an issue I should look at now.
I also like how they consistently place "spies" in double quotes ... only to admit several sentences later that many actually were, with ample evidence published in the painstakingly reconstructed "Documents From the US Espionage Den" :)
That's not what the article says.

>> On Ford parts, the very first fails aren’t supposed to happen until just after the 10-year mark (with most of them occurring much later).
My point was that usually a language does more to sell itself. The selling point of C++ wasn't "here's a language that compiles to C" (which it was in the beginning), but rather "Here's a safer, OO version of C with many new features."

There is of course the apocryphal story of Henry Ford and the junkyard analysis[1]:

"Ford sent a team of agents to tour the scrap-yards of America in search of discarded Model T Fords. He told them to find out which components never failed. When they returned they reported failures of just about everything, except the kingpins. They always had years of service left in them when some other part failed irretrievably. His agents wanted to hear how the boss would improve the quality of all those components that failed. Soon afterwards, Henry Ford announced that in future the kingpins on the Model T would be engineered to a lower specification."

I was in a gifted program as a child, and I have two daughters (9 & 11) in the program now. It is unfortunate that your guests didn't have better manners, but that type of teasing seems to be common. If your daughter is introverted, it is possible that she is misjudged. I found "Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child" to be a great book, with lots of tips to help improve esteem and acceptance.
Great work - the aesthetics reminds me of airbnb :-) I would suggest that you do some kind of input validation for the 'request an invite' box - eg, checking for empty strings.
To paraphrase Jamie Zawinski, some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use m4." Now they have two problems.

I know I'd rather have fifty interlocking regular expressions than ever have to touch m4 again.
IMHO, the design is too influenced by airbnb's. Feels and

Get a VPN. ISP's have not been neutral third-party for a long time, and monitoring has become a revenue source. While political pressure can in the long run fix the problem, vpn's are one of the few options left.

He clearly wasn't a visionary, but a pragmatist. Pragmatists deal in what they can do right now, and if it's useful to anyone right now. If it isn't, they ignore it. Visionaries thinks about the potential in the future and how it will be useful in the future.

The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics Education
The reason why I wasn't responding for 8 hours is that I felt asleep after I published the app (it was 3 a.m. here). Also, my previous posts didn't draw so much attention so I thought I'd better gather (and respond to) the feedback next morning rather than refreshing this page every 5 min.

I've deleted all the junk that was there before and I just updated the website with Facebook sign in (mandatory for those posting new jobs). This should filter out at least those not having fake FB profiles since your name (as well as the URL to your profile) is displayed under the job details. I'm also going to add pre-moderation and email notifications within the next couple hours.
It Must Be Really Frustrating For Other Founders To Watch Airtime And Color Fail

It's worse, you forgot to add that media companies also get free (and to some degree directed) advertising for each notice. ISP and media company both profit for sending en-mass those notices, and the party who has to bear the costs is the customer.
It seems like people are constantly trying to get this new job title of "growth hacker" to stick by defending and redefining it over and over. Usually that's an indication that the title is superfluous and ultimately pointless.

Marketing is marketing is marketing, stop renaming it. Also, growth is absolutely a marketing strategy...in fact, it's one of the main goals of marketing.
I bet it's a lot more frustrating to work at a rag like Business Insider where your mission is to hijack search rankings from companies and people.
Thank you all very much for your feedback. I've just updated the website with Facebook Sign In (which is mandatory if you want to post new job offer). This should filter out at least those not having fake Facebook profiles since your name and the URL to your profile are displayed under the job details page. I'm also working on pre-moderation and implementing email notifications (I will update the website within the next couple hours).

Again, thank you very much for all your valuable feedback.
Hey guru_shastry I am guilty as charged! :) I was definitely influenced by airbnb's design in some places and over the coming weeks I plan to make the design more like 'evemi' and less like airbnb, I definitely want to have a much more unique feel.. I am totally new to coding and also to designing but I guess one improtant thing I have learnt is that I need to keep things modern and slick, but also original and unique, thanks for the comment and advice. :)
I don't understand how they are going to find out who is downloading content illegally. Honeypot seeders?
Hmm, not sure what you mean it seems to be loading up fine for me, you are not on mobile by any chance are you? There is still lots of work to be done on the mobile version.
I don't think this can practically be done. The article says that for a given part, the time to fail will vary widely.

>> The chart below shows the logarithmic failure curve of steel bars placed in a fatigue machine. Most fail after 1 million cycles, but if you were to test only a few bars, those failures might occur after 10 million cycles.

If this is the case, the only way to ensure a cluster of failures at say, 10 years, would be to 1) engineer the part so that most will last much more than 10 years (to guarantee that nearly all will last at least that long), and 2) add a mechanism for breaking it. Like, a random number generator and a tiny saw that cuts the axle if it returns 0.5. That seems both unfeasible (you have to engineer the tiny saw, incorporate it into the cost and weight budgets, ensure that IT won't fail, etc) and easily discoverable. The resulting scandal would destroy the company.

Besides all this, a reputation of "barely lasts through the warranty" is bad for business. I (like many people) buy Toyotas because experience shows they last a long time. Ford has impressed me lately, but I have to be convinced they're just as good before I'd buy one. "Lasts 10 years" is not good enough to compete.

You don't have to suspect a conspiracy if you can show that the evil action discussed is against the interests of the supposed perpetrators. This is basically why capitalism works.
So the incentive to tell you that you're guilty anyway is pocketing $35.

The incentive for telling you that you're innocent is...?

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong.
Hey Anthony, wow thanks for the nice words (and yeah I totally was inspired in places by airbnb - I really love their design work)... Good point about validating for emails - I need to check duplicate entries too, also think I need a good way to check if it is a valid email address that is been entered - that has been causing me a couple of problems in the last few hours.
Mars Curiosity Digs Up Unidentified Shiny Objects, This Time Of Martian Origin
In addition to skrebbel's excellent points, C# on the CLR is faster than Mono, and C# supports value types so in real world code that often gives it an advantage over Java. For example a List<int> in C# is a tightly packed array of integers, in Java it's a list of pointers to integers. In Java, you can in theory rewrite each collection class (hash map, hash set, tree map, tree set, list, etc.) for all primitive types (and pairs, and triples, etc. of primitive types), or write everything directly on top of primitive arrays (as is done on the shootout). In the real world for most code that's not practical and leads to unreadable/unmaintainable code.

Marc Benioff: Billionaires Should Act Charitably Now, Not Later
Yawn. This is well executed, but completely derivative. It is shame to see evidently talented web developers making knock-offs of Tumblr and Pinterest.
Many open source libraries already have .Net bindings available, a quick search can discover them. They're also packaged into assemblies or made into higher level APIs, which sure beats copy-pasting from a webpage.

There's the [P/Invoke interop assistant](http://clrinterop.codeplex.com/) which can help you create a wrapper for C APIs, and the mono team have created [Cxxi](https://github.com/mono/cxxi), a binding generator for C++ APIs.
I just joined. I am trying to understand how this is different from Pinterest. If this is indeed different, can you explain it here?
What a very nice thing to say I am talented, I am very new to developing so it is great to have some nice feedback. Regarding the concept I think you have to give it a little time to see why evemi is so unique, the feed may be similar to Pinterest, but that is basically it - I think it takes a while to get to grips with evemi, and maybe this will be one of the problems I am going to face and will have to address, thanks for pointing that out to me.
The reason the "Ayatollahs" are a "bad government" has more to do with the fact that they do not yield to US power. The Shah on the other hand was considered, or would have been considered, a "moderate"--you know like the moderate Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt (before their liberation), and so on.

Show HN: I got sick of not being able to find old posts on Reddit
I feel a Sunday rant coming on....

Its people who incorrectly keep using the word "stealing" who make me want to copy everything I can.

People who confuse borrowing and sharing with stealing must be hard to get on with. Can I borrow that newspaper? No. Can I borrow that book? No. Can I borrow a lawn mower? No. Kids? Do they share, sorry, steal books from each other? Toys? Are newspapers left on the trains when people get off to incite other to "steal" ? If I glance across and read a head line as you read, are you illegally sharing?

Copying and sharing is NOT stealing. Get that in to your head and you might get a sensible debate going. Until people stop using these exaggerated WMD terrorist OTT type claims, the debate cant even start. Oh yeah, I have heard it claimed that sharing funds terrorism. Really.

More than anything, I am sick an tired of this industry, backed by the US gov, continuing to support a failing old industry with bullying and threats. See how nasty and vindictive these people get when their controls on us fail. That infinitely worse than sharing stuff.

And if sharing is wrong, then the USA can stop using our language, English. Or perhaps pay the UK a licence fee for its use. In fact, the US could really help put Spain in that respect. See, it's ridiculous, isn't it?

Anyway, isn't it Christian to share? Isn't it kind and decent to share? That's what I learned as a kid. Has the world really gotten that bad?

Lastly, I want to see a loss proved. I want to see it proved that down-loaders would have purchased had they not down loaded. Or, I want to see a business like Fox go bust due to sharing. If that happens, I will believe their claims. Until then, I will be sure that all they are doing is protecting greed, since despite all the whining, they are still incredibly profitable. I suspect out sourcing costs more US jobs than sharing.

I'm now off to download something I don't want. Never seen Hurt Locker..... I'll leave a comment on the torrent site to explain my motivation.

Sunday rant done. Thank-you.
Theoretically, your sufficiently advanced compiler and/or JVM will figure out where they can replace objects by value types. So, theoretically, that does not matter.

The difference should be visible in practice, though. AFAIK, it is not really visible, though. That probably is because the JVM has been tuned longer.
>>When I clicked on "What is Evemi" I spend about 30 seconds waiting for the page to fully load before I realised I had to click.

I didn't realize I had to click until I read this.

I'm not sure what the concept is, or even if the rest of the site is up and running, but if you did, it's a pretty good effort.

I'm not particularly interested in the idea, but that comes from someone who doesn't like using facebook or twitter. Hopefully someone who is really into this stuff can weigh in.
