If their primary goal with the product is market segmentation, then a price that high is likely a mistake. On the other hand, Apple has a long history of starting with a high price and then creeping it down into the sweet spot (temporal market segmentation?)
Yeah, anything above $279 would be a huge disappointment.

For a very long time, I was convinced that Apple would never do a smaller iPad. What's in it for them? The profit margins will certainly be smaller. Then I realized: if they wanted to completely own the tablet market, they need a cheap option that's competitive with the Kindle Fire and co.

$249 gives Apple almost complete dominance in the tablet market. $329 does not.
Since publishing is 'valuable' people will appear to offer up 'publiching' as a service. I am surprised that being published in such journals would 'count' in your academic credentials.
It's very simple. Coursera appears to be required to register, according to the law as written. The department within the Minnesota Office of Higher Education that handles registration and licensing informed them of this.

When people inquired, the manager of that department, George Roedler, responded, restating what the law says and the rationale behind the law.

Later, the person at the top of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, Larry Pogemiller, decided that this was a case where the law should not be applied as written, due to changing circumstances, and so stopped enforcement and said he would work to get the law modified.

No one has "gone rogue" or is out of control. They all appear to have done their jobs correctly. Roedler applied the law, as written and as interpreted by the OHE, as is his job. Pogemiller changed OHE policy, as is his job.

That's true, the article really didn't explain much about the programs he would like to see. I could have done a better job of explaining myself but it was late.

These residential programs are providing the type of solid routines that allows a client to stabilize and are actually doing a better job than the large institutions (according to my data). Think of the difference between how well most students do in a large impersonal lecture hall vs. 1 on 1's with teachers who take a real interest in their education.

Java 8 for Mac OS and writing a Hello World using Lambda
A tutorial and a book solve completely different problems. A tutorial will only help you if you know what you want to achieve, and can therefore search for the tutorial. You read a book to find out about functionality you didn't know was there, lest you need it in the future.

An organized approach to "here are all the things we do" is definitely appropriate for the core documentation.
If every inhabitant wrote a single line of code, they could rewrite the linux kernel in mere seconds!
Well I would think that the FBI would really be the wrong agency for this to apply to has they are really no more than just normal police officers on the federal level.
The point I was trying to make is that these smaller community-based facilities do provide the stability that clients need to compensate. In fact they do a better job than a large impersonal institution.
Unfortunately, there is a massive reason to compile to JavaScript... browsers.
Compiling to C puts some significant constraints on your language. For example, C doesn't have COMDAT support, thread local storage, exception handling is limited to setjmp/longjmp, static uplevel function links are a problem, symbolic debug info is going to all look like C, etc.

Marginal cost of filling and empty seat on a bus that already has fuel and a driver? Zero.
I'm hoping Samsung doesn't settle then, so we can all take a look at their per-device profit margins which Apple wants placed under seal. Since when does a company consider profit margins trade secrets? Maybe when the public discovers Apple has enormous profit margins from these devices yet pursues multi-billion dollar lawsuits against competitors with shoddy patents, there will be backlash.

Seriously, 100 levels, how many people (% of userbase) are going to finish all 100 and still want more? Clearly no thought whatsoever went into this strategy.

Even 30 is too much, 15 max.
3 and 4 would not take long to be brute forced by a dictionary attack, I think. Too many people use qwerty on their password, so it's probably high rated on a dictionary attack.
I don't see your point. Compare the unsubsidized prices of the iPhone to its competitors and it's not huge (iPhone 5 is $649.99 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 is $549.99), but that's because carriers want the iPhone and are willing to pay a large subsidy.

The iPod touch is very competitive, it has been around for years with pretty much zero competition. iPods were very competitive for years, again primarily with no one being able to compete. The iPad has always been competitively priced.

I doubt the iPad Air will be as competitive in price as the others, I just don't see a $199 level, but I do not agree that Apple is not competitively priced in mobile.
You're right - they're essentially a step removed, although I'm working on webvbx.com which would be an easier on-ramp to using twilio as a hosted service.

Tell you what, call up your MSFT rep and ask them to set the Smooth Streaming flag on an Azure CDN blob and see how you feel how good their support is.
What methods are used for getting traffic to single page apps? I'm guessing search engines don't send much traffic.
"But I didn't make a massive blog post that implied I could beat craps ..." He implied nothing of the sort, the headline is a good summary of the post. You are annoyed that the post is not what YOU thought it should have been, learn to read.
I find that typing a bunch of words with spaces is faster than with words. I guess my brain is wired by now to automatically press the spacebar between words.
That has nothing to do with how competitively they are priced. If I can make something for less money than you can and we both sell it at the same price, we are just as competitively priced. Manufacturing cost has nothing to do with price competitiveness.

Apple uses its giant scale to literally buy up all supply of lots of components and other resources (factory output, air freight, you name it). It's tough to compete.
Oregon, specifically Multnomah County.

Part of my job includes tracking (arguably) quantifiable data on how clients respond to community-based residential treatment. I have not been in this space long, and I'm still learning about the underlying process/politics that our business model exploits. But I do have the data to show that residential treatment works, sorry I can't share.
I love watching these talks every year! It would be really good if there was a way to pause/rewind the feed, though.
Slightly OT: I tried a Galaxy Note 2 in an AT&T store the other day while the wife was upgrading her iPhone. I can't believe how far Samsung is behind Apple at sales-time polish.

The big feature of the Note 2 is the stylus. That's what I wanted to try. So I picked it up and the first screen was this home screen with three buttons. One was for the Notes app. I tapped it, and it took me to an explanatory page about the app. I started scribbling. Nothing. Looked for a "try the app" button. Nothing. Backed out, clicked the "explore this device" button instead. Looked for a notes app on the home screen. Nothing. Clicked "applications". Greeted with 30 apps per screen. On the second page, found a "Notes" app and a "Memo" app. Guessed it was the memo app. Guessed incorrectly, that didn't support the stylus. Finally opened up the Notes app. Scribbled. It was laggy.

I can't understand how other companies can keep sucking so much at this when Apple has it figured out. It's just shocking.
The value in the Arduino is not necessarily in the actual processor, but in the tools, documentation, tutorials and library supplied with the boards. And of course in its large community of users and addons ('shields').
According to the manpage, `screen -DR` will detach the remote screen if it exists and reattach your session. No need to use shell conditionals or ||.
I don't think I understand you here. Are you not keeping these different keys on the same machine?
That is fascinating - I have been meaning to revise my security processes and a livecd for banking is a very good idea.

So most dos attacks are

1. Put key logger on company x machines

2. Gather banking keys

3. Transfer money

4. Hit with dos and get key logger to do as much damage as poss

Only two weaknesses leap out:

1. Two factor authentication - I genuinely do not know at what level a bank stops requiring a separate token for each transaction but it seems silly to ever do that.

2. The money mule - I recently was amazed that directors in Hollywood sometimes accept a percentage of net. But allowing your bank account to be used by some guys on the Internet?

Really those two issues seem ... Well with those blockers I would not invest in the internet crime startup. Weird they have bootstrapped quite well
Backspaces (http://backspac.es). It's the app you're looking at it with. If you want to be more specific about what makes it unclear I would love if you emailed me at dmitri at backspac.es and let me know.
LLVM has C backend, though it is not fully supported. It seems like it would.be helpful for bootstrapping LLVM for a new architecture and for A/B testing of other backends' performance and correctness.

How can I recover my hacked email account?
A number of years ago, I created an email account under yahoo. I lost track of it, and eventually I lost interest in it. Recently though, it has been sending emails to all of my contacts that I had in it. Yahoo is of no help, so I figured I would ask a techsmart group of people for help.

Ask HN: Chrome Extension monetization

We can already assemble arbitrary DNA up to a few kilobases long, and that tech is improving rapidly. So I don't think Venter's biological printer is as far away you think.

It doesn't require general manufacture of complex molecules -- just general manufacture of proteins. And the whole reason life is built on proteins is that proteins are relatively easy to reliably manufacture.

If we were talking about a "Diamond Age"-style nanoassembler, I'd agree with you. But we already have biological assemblers all around us, it's just a question of continuing to increase our degree control over them.

Good point. Evolution is a complex balance.
I too find most down votes distasteful. In fact, I use a custom style sheet to color down voted comments red so I can see them, and unless I can find no redeeming value whatsoever in the comment I give it an up vote to counter the down votes.

In this particular case, however, I think the down votes were fine, because the comment:

1. grossly misstated facts, by attributing George Roedler's statements to Larry Pogemiller,

2. is essentially just a rant calling for Pogemiller's head.
i don't really see the connection between python and haskell here. is it meant to be a comparison (then: implying that haskell is somehow making it easier to have speedy and nicely readable code)?
We're not doing bad with the hint packs, actually. I figured more engagement is always good, but a drip-feed 'free level of the day' would have been a better idea than a 100 levels all at once. Still learning.
This game may also just be suffering from not being interesting enough to convince people to buy. Setting the amount of free content lower may move the 'buy or not' decision earlier, and reduce dropoff, but it's still likely that some percentage of your players just aren't engaged enough to pay after already having played the game for a while.

This particular class of design problem mostly affects games, so it can be kind of strange if you're used to developing software. A good way to think of it is by looking at a program like a ringtone creator or icon editor: Very often, you grab a ringtone creator or icon editor just to create one or two ringtones or one or two icons. After that, you literally never want to use it again (or at best, maybe you want to use it again 6 months later). The group of people who use an app like that every day is vanishingly small. So, if you build one of those apps and you give away a fully-featured version, most downloads will never convert into purchases.
and buffer slower
It sounds to me that you need a device that can stand up like a laptop and has a keyboard (either integrated or BT). I have a Transformer 101 with the keyboard dock. The dock is awesome! Extra battery, USB port, and a great way to type long emails! Hardware: great, software not so much. Boot loader access is restricted in my TF101 (Asus provides an unlock tools for later/premium models but not mine) but luckily there is an open source, reversed unlocker letting me run Ubuntu! Ubuntu was a huge hassle to get working but a great dev environment. Asus took a few months with many delays to deliver 4.0. Rumor has it that it won't get 4.1 from Asus. So I would encourage you to look at a newer Transformer tablet with a keyboard but beware about future support.

The Surface is almost guaranteed to have great support for a long time given MS's history. Keyboard probably isn't as nice (it's squishy, right?) but much more compact than a Transformer keyboard.
This one made me giggle:

Sure there is. The interior of corporations have non-government-enforced order.
Well, he's also largely responsible for early Gnome and his problematic views live on there. Whenever I read one of his posts, he's gushing over with excitement about some new technology from either Microsoft or Apple that he wants to bring to Linux, which then quickly proceeds to be a giant PITA to people who create distros, build embedded systems and so on. These projects tend to be abandoned rather quickly in the scheme of unix software (X, vim, emacs, bash - anyone replaced these 3 times in the last 10 years?). The mess he helped create (and recently admitted to be sort of guilty for, in a lengthy blog post why the Linux desktop has failed - or some similar hyperbole) is then left to deal with for everyone else.

Meanwhile, the Linux desktop (and for that matter, BSD) is perfectly usable with a well selected mixture of window managers that have been around from before I was born, audio players that don't require mysql backends, editors that work just fine from embedded systems to servers, and so on. Nobody ever missed a registry in this world. Nobody ever thought: "hey, a program that modifies its own config files is great, lets write a bunch, or use a database!" - resulting in the insanity that you can't version control your config files anymore, or keep your $HOME on NFS.

His ideas are great in the world of consumer operating systems - locked down, shiny, and limited to the "brilliance" of its designer. But I don't want to live in his world, therefore I'm very happy whenever he does something that does not involve "improving" the Linux desktop experience.
After. Flow came out around the time (end-June?) that I was seriously getting started on this project.

This is a common rookie mistake unfortunately. My company has been in the business for over three years and making level content the basis of a freemium strategy has never been anything but a failure for us. The prevailing consumer attitude seems to be be a sense of entitlement, e.g. I downloaded this app or paid a pittance for it, I should get everything without having to pay more. The irony is that once they decide they like it, they are more than willing to blow lots of money on items that allow them to cheat or customize their experience.

Edit: I would also add that this is not unique to a platform like iOS. Riot, the company who makes League of Legends, makes lots of money primarily selling skins for heroes you can play in the game.
There's also lovenancy18. Someone will have a long talk with his daughter.
But like "spirit," "spiritual" is still really a religious word. If (hypothetically) I just happen to think that the universe operates according to normal physical principles, with no gods or magic, and that what is important is life on earth, then I am not "spiritual" and thus, according to this guy, I am a worse programmer.

This is just social pressure to conform to certain kinds of ideas. The fact that the word "spiritual" allows me to self-label as religious even if I don't belong to a large institution like the Catholic church is not very helpful if I am just not religious. And why should I have to be?
Hah, I knew I've already seen this before! Someone submitted this link two weeks ago[1], and in that same thread someone mentioned the billion laughs attack[2].

Personally I don't like spaces because every now and then I find a service that doesn't accept them - ex: you can't have spaces in your IRC password. ASCII printable characters are enough for me.
"it automatically implies a pretty high baseline of performance"

I doubt that. It may be (mostly) true for languages that match the capabilities of C well, but if a language does not match C well, it certainly isn't 'automatically' because the optimizer in your C compiler will not help much in making the implementations of such features efficient.

For example, compiling JavaScript to C, it would be non-trivial to make the result as fast as the current JavaScript engines because the C code would likely have to do the same zillions 'is this a string?' checks that interpreters do (probably even more of them because it is harder to see the wood for the trees in your translated-to-C code)

For example, it would require lots of work to support, for example, Lisp's number system, Dylan's union types, any variant of 'eval', or, to take an extreme example, to map Intercal code sequences to efficient C operations such as '+'.

That's interesting. So at GE how often were software architects/managers or higher actually "managed out" rather than simply threatened? From my vantage point bottom grading looks like a political ploy in which people at the bottom are simply churned to protect the bureaucracy and not upset the power structure. This is a valid alternate viewpoint on what you call 'bad fit.' In other words the sole criteria that you mention is respect for management and not objective productivity or profitability. At GE did you ever attempt to put a dollar amount on contributions?
But if that's the case, why make the 7" iPad at all? Like I said, the profit margins will inevitably be lower than on the 10" iPad.

Unless it's about dominance, this is a pointless niche product and a waste of time.

Look at what Apple's been doing with iPhone pricing for the past few years. If you're in the US, you can now get a "free" iPhone 4. That's absolutely a move to seize the low end of the market, even if they're not making as much per device.
"He has a gift for pushing buddons"
I went in six years from bankrupt to 100k ukp a year, most of that over the latter 2 years - and I did it by asking my next-boss-to-be for the raise. Usually I managed a 20k leap each job, something frankly not happening in any negotiation you are in with your current boss - no matter what technique you use.

Be professional about your job search - I spent most lunch hours for a year job hunting or improving my skills or my presentation.

And be more professional about your profession. Take online courses, (I went back to Open University - udacity is zoo much more convenient), treat the job you have as a professional project rather than a job - start to separate away from the employed mentality.

Professionals are responsible for their own reputation and skills, they are willing and able to act like an owner or stakeholder. You really are a company of one.

Sell your services to a higher bidder

Ps - I am reliably informed job hunting is a terrible way to find a job. I would seriously suggest you keep job hunting the normal way(chase the agents - they do not expect it!) but also start / join a smallish OSS project related to a tiny niche (no smaller than that) in your own area - then join the appropriate LinkedIn group.

One hour a day (that lunch hour) and you will be and probably be recognised as an expert in that area.
Of course there is. Taliban, Hezbollah, Mafia, etc originate as nongovernmental entities enforcing order.
By "it seems to require a UDP connection", OP really meant that Mosh requires the server to have an open UDP port so the client can send it packets.

Practiaclly, this means that if your server is behind a firewall or NAT, you need to poke a hole in your firewall to be able to connect with Mosh.
Interestingly, I had a kind of DOS attack on my email account when someone gained access to a credit card account of mine and used it to send money to themselves - I got inundated with hundreds of random emails per second when they were sending money to themselves, so as to make it hard for me to get the notifications and do something about it.

Fortunately, the pattern of emails wasn't very sophisticated and I had made a rule to filter them out within a few minutes and had the account closed within 5 minutes, but I can see how this would be a pretty effective tactic against less computer literate targets.
3 and 4 are weak because we have pretty good heuristics on how passwords are composed so it wouldn't take much longer to brute-force them than it would to do password123.
