I deleted Sugar when on Android it was taking up a significant amount of battery and cycle -- and it was basically doing nothing to do that.

Have they fixed that? Is it better on battery on Android now?
It costs far more than 50c to upgrade from 8.0GB to 8.1GB. New motherboards are pricy for laptops.

They don't release their exact statistics, but Conversion Rate Experts are pretty authoritative on the subject of scrolling vs. fold.

http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/scrolling-tips/

In split tests, long pages often beat shorter pages.

As a rule of thumb, your page should contain at least as
many words as you’d use when selling your product or
service face to face.

The winning page we designed for SEOmoz was six times
longer than the control, which it outperformed by 52%.

Whenever someone tells you that they’d never buy from a
long page, remind them how long Amazon’s pages are.

Long pages are effective, but only if your users know that
they can scroll and are given compelling reasons to do so.

http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/crazy-egg-case-study/

The redesigned page is about 20 times as long as the
control... new page outperformed the control by 30%.

http://www.marketingexperiments.com/improving-website-conver...

In our initial micro-test, long copy outperformed short
copy by 40.54%. Click-through traffic sent to the short
copy page was unprofitable (-14% ROI), while traffic sent
to the long copy page produced an ROI of 21%.

http://conversionxl.com/4-cases-where-short-home-pages-outpe...

Short copy performs better when there is low perceived
risk, low cost, and low commitment... when the customer
has an emotional, impulsive, and “want-oriented”
motivation. When you want people to take action that
doesn’t cost them dollars (email signups, free trial,
clickthrough)

http://blog.clicktale.com/2007/10/05/clicktale-scrolling-res...

Visitors are equally likely to scan the entire page no
matter the page size.

Below 540 pixels, both visitor attention and page exposure
decline exponentially.
We're not really talking about 'proving' things, particularly on an internet forum, but you could start with a relative lack of facial and body hair, larger heads and bigger eyes, as well as more curiosity, less aggression and a more plastic brain. That do?
Medicine took a huge leap forward around 1800 or so when people started collecting statistics on what worked and what didn't. Evidently the doctors' intuition was very, very wrong.
Yeah, it's pretty clear what the bias is here, though. Search your friends for their bikini pics.

While I definitely spend too much time on HN browsing casually, it has on numerous occasions acted as a spark in my own creativity for personal side projects
Briefly, one or a few mutations are responsible for both the child-like traits that are selected for sexually as well as other child-like traits such as lactose tolerance. So selecting for the former also results in the latter, because the traits are genetically linked.

Typically neoteny is achieved by mutations that alter developmental timing, and it's easy to imagine that such a mutation could also result in sustained lactase production past the "normal" age.

As for the question of why all lactose-tolerant people aren't visually identifiable, keep in mind that there may not be just one variant of the lactose-tolerance mutation, and perhaps not every variant has complete penetrance. For example, perhaps one gene variant confers a 50% probability of lactose tolerance, but always confers a particular attractive trait.
The none cipher switch was always a turn off for a lot of people.
With A Healthy Disregard For The Impossible, People Can Do Almost Anything
I can count the number of software projects I've finished on zero hands, unless you define "project" as a meaninglessly-small component of something larger (e.g. tweaking some copy). Even for software that you write to solve your own problems, your requirements tend to change over time so even that seems to never be done. With personal projects its worse, as (at least for me) they're not a way to make money so I have almost no incentive to add that last bit of polish and call it a day.

To combat this, I like to occasionally do projects with a more concrete finish - almost certainly NOT something software-related. Even something as mundane as cleaning my bedroom or some trivial home improvement type task. The more visual the result, the better.

It's so easy to get lost in this ongoing big picture that you feel like you're never accomplishing anything. I'm sure by breaking it down into smaller projects some people will better recognize their progress, but I find that doesn't work consistently enough. Maybe I'm not breaking stuff down far enough - definitely less than a day, probably a couple-hour task.

And IV already has tools to optimize the pricing on the transactions.

Someone should patent that idea and sell it to IV.

Prior art is in monsastaries that sell captive doves for tourists to free (which are then recaptured), so it should be easy to transcribe to a patent for instant approval.

Ask HN: Why is EC2 more often down than Amazon?
EC2 seems to have trouble sometimes, like recently, with one or more data centers or central infrastructure down. This leads to company websites and large parts of the startup world being down even for those one thinks are multi-data center and know their stuff like Foursquare.

Why is Amazon (never?) down? Do they use other hardware? Is Foursquare and like not as good in designing failsafe setups as one thinks?
> In my opinion a fair amount of work should receive a fair amount of pay

"Fairness" is immaterial in a free market. Who gets to decide what's fair? You? Why is your concept of fair pricing more legitimate than that agreed upon by others? Your industry is being disrupted, get over it.
Yeah, to my knowledge. Basically it lets you execute Vim commands from python.
Blogging is a programming smell. If you have time to blog, I suspect you aren't busy producing.
I'm slightly lactose intolerant.

Here's a tip for others - you can buy Lactase pills at a pharmacy and take them just before you eat any meal that contains milk. This gives you the enzymes you need without your body producing in it.

And it's really awesome. I only started doing this a year ago, but now I can eat many more cheeses, drink milkshakes, etc., without feeling bad. And it happens surprisingly often - every time you want to eat pizza, pastas, etc.

Seriously, is you're lactose intolerant, give it a try - it improved my life considerably.
Hot IT jobs: Why location matters
Not quite -- fresh cheeses can be made in a matter of hours, and quite dependably. Obviously they don't last as long as the harder kinds, but they're still more stable than milk. Here's one process:

iirc, it's off by default?

Even when enabled, it'll only not encrypt binary blobs; TTY input will remain encrypted. Obviously many times that is not an option, but sometimes it is.

thanks for the reply - Your videos were annoying. You clearly had already isolated problems you were having and played a drama of whining, moaning, fake surprise reaction, per-meditated build of growing frustration as you failed at things repeatedly, it was a bad script and clearly not a fair shake for the tablet. You were trying to convince the viewer to sympathize with you and thus not buy this tablet.

A good reviewer does not seethe drama all over - he states the good and bad points without being overly dramatic or going over long poorly written scripts. He does not write a review in the midst of being pissed off. This explains your emotional outbursts and bias/drama in the review and vids - but does not do service to your credibility.

I felt like I was watching an election video when I watched your YouTube vids. Just a one sided mud sling. I was embarrassed for you just watching them.

I understand being frustrated but 24 hours? You need to learn a little patience. When I started using IOS and OS X (for iPhone Dev) I hated it for weeks. I had all sorts of issues. After learning the ins and outs though, I generally have mostly favorable things to say about it.

I don't know about the camera thing. How tall is your desk? I am 6' but I know the average person is something like 5' 9-10". Strange that I have not had or heard much on this issue for others.

I don't understand your issue with updating Word - It is a simple update.

I don't know why you reboot your tablet on flights? I fly a lot too but why would a flight mandate that you power off your tablet? Please explain your logic here.

For the Mail Setup and SkyDrive problem I can only guess because again, I have not had nor heard of others having the problems.

I just feel like for whatever reason you had a bad experience and wrote a seething review in the heat of your frustration. I think that if you had my (or many others) experiences, your review would be much different. I don't know why your experience differed so much from mine and others - either you got a lemon, messed up the tablet somehow, or are a troll. IMO, your emotion/dramatics would suggest the latter.
Don't. It's a very esoteric topic. Hence my frustration - I wish it weren't so!
Milk drinkers smell different than non.
>They have to start somewhere. Why are you so negative about this?

I am merely pointing out a bias and double standard.

"What will you do with the money?

The money buys time for me to work on this project. With the $10,000 that I am asking for, I expect to get 1-2 months of development. This should be enough time to finish what's on the roadmap."

Why would he need an average yearly income to be coding ± 45 days?
I keep my personal content (eg photos, music, backups of my personal systems) in my personal dropbox. My work dropbox contains software builds, presentations, customer stuff etc. Both are paid accounts. I work from home and hence use the same system for work and home activities.

What I want is to be able to access both sets of content on many of my machines. For example I can read my work and home email on multiple devices. But dropbox for Android only allows for one account, as does dropbox for Windows and Mac.

Shared folders are a no go. First of all I don't want to mix personal and work stuff. Secondly dropbox penalises you. For example if two users each separately pay dropbox for a 100GB account and then user 1 shares 25GB of content with user 2, dropbox will subtract 25GB from user 2's allowance. ie what you pay for is the total amount of data you can access, not the amount of unique data.

That they hired outsiders is a sign of integrity to me. The cheap option would be a quick internal investigation and a statement of findings that people would be sceptical about. Outsiders bring new perspectives and experience.

In India, Cow is more of divine than Bovine. As author rightly mentioned "Agriculture-plus-dairying became the backbone", in Indian civilization, it has been imbibed in culture that they both go hand in hand.Their interdependence is well known Cow eats Grass/waste crops, Cow dung/urine is used as manure for the crop and mosquito repellants etc. And outputs of both are enjoyed by the farmer - Crop and Milk products :)

There is a big difference between outsourcing a logo v outsourcing software. For one, you can see everything you're paying for on one screen and there's no timeline issues etc. You get a finished product and it has a fixed scope.

Now, the logos may not be as good as done by a true design company, BUT, unless you are a big B2C brand, nobody cares what your logo is like.

However, if you're having a critical piece of software written for your business, then clearly you need to care about that - outsourcing may or may not be the best option, just as using 99designs for a logo may or may not be the best option.

I think the commenter you're replying to is referring to a type of drink that's a milk-substitute containing coconuts, not the canned stuff that's got tons of coconut oil (and thus very fatty) ... though I love both, it's kind of confusing that their names are very similar.

No offence, but as far as I can see, this does nothing that can't be done in vim (or one of its forks) with pathogen/vundle and the extant plugin ecosystem. Also I doubt people will want to pay if there is no native editor/terminal support. ;(
No, but there was the Epilepsy Foundation, back in the day. I tend to draw a distinction though between Chanology, /i/, Op Payback, and OWS flavours of Anonymous, despite a great deal of overlap in the people involved.

This idea of Anonymous being (or seeing themselves as) a force for good is actually pretty new. I'm thinking it can probably be traced back to the financial blockade against Wikileaks and the response thereto. Coming just as it did after the resurrection of Anonymous during Op Payback, I think the response to Wikileaks' trials probably brought in a lot of new people with a much different set of ideals than those who came before.
Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum 2012 is a very nice movie.The story follows Sid (Riteish Deshmukh) and Adi (Tusshar Kapoor), roommates and good friends. Adi is a struggling actor, whilst Sid is a struggling DJ who admires his own dog Suckru (in some versions Fuckru) more than himself.

Game of Checkins: Mayorships + Google Earth = your own Game of Thrones intro
So you are not worried about the confidentiality of your data?

Leaving aside the crypto worries and concerns over why it was not merged upstream can you imagine being the Debian package maintainer? Having to manage and triage bug reports with two upstreams? And then having to keep track of whether the bug occurred when HPN initiated a connection to pristine upstream, pristine connects to HPN or HPN connects to HPN? If you want to get an idea of the headache involved site:debian.org ssh hpn.

Have you read why upstream never merged it? The pleas for funding and lack of maintainer time do not give you cause for concern?
I first heard about Jonathan Hardesty and his journey in when I was still in high school. I started drawing everyday for about a year, but sadly I'm not as focused as him and shifted gears towards programming.

That doesn't matter. If you can be bothered to count megabytes of RAM, you already have a shortage, with or without Google Drive (or Dropbox, for that matter).
Some interesting analysis! It's a shame they didn't take differences in income taxes into account in the indexes, but hopefully the growth of remote working will make all of this less important over time and we can all live wherever we like.
If this ever turns into a product, I hope they choose a more efficient design than x64. I'm assuming that ARM would be a good choice.

The difference is if someone doesn't choose to stay at your AirBnB, you take no loss. If someone continuously works on design competitions, they could walk away with nothing for hours of work.

I guess some people feel it is taking advantage of the less fortunate, but everyone knows how it works going in; for this reason I can't quite share the same disgust.

Another problem with running in a terminal is the lack of good integration with window-system cut/paste (e.g., where you can use editor commands to select text, copy it, and paste it in some other app, getting the actual text instead of just what's displayed on the terminal).

I often run Emacs in a remote screen session (well actually I open a terminal frame in my already-running window-system Emacs), and this is by far the biggest annoyance for me.

Alienation is the word being sought after here, not distraction. Alienation is the defining characteristic and goal of late capitalism, because alienation drives consumption.

Everything about the suburban commuter lifestyle is characterized by how it further alienates us. Homes are disconnected walled gardens inside other walled gardens, training us to fear what lies outside. Transportation is done in individual disconnected boxes to jobs that are spread far and wide and businesses that are giant faceless boxes surrounded by oceans of parking lots. Genuine communal shared experience and community interaction is replaced by tv culture. Individual interaction is replaced by 140 character soundbytes and bumper sticker philosophy facebook statuses.

None of this is an accident, and none of it is even terribly recent, it's just the culmination of endless efforts to alienate you from the people around you and increase your anxiety and fear because it means you'll buy more shit to try and fill that void.

This is Marx 101 stuff, I recommend David Harvey as a starting place if you're looking for an examination of present society along these lines.
Sorry, in the comments to the answers.
Not really better engineering[+], I think, so much as perseverance—Emacs originally had the same character-grid limitation, and has gone through multiple display-engine (etc) rewrites to get to the point it's at now, and the amount of pain involved along the way has been ... considerable. There are still limitations stemming from the original design that are going to require even more pain to remove.

[+] This isn't a diss, mind you—I use Emacs, and love it, and have done a fair bit of Emacs development.

We are about to begin testing our Android app and don't want to go out and buy 40+ handsets to test on.

Are there any services that allow you to load an app on different devices for testing?

Specifically, we are looking to make sure the app functions correctly (ie: doesn't crash etc..) and the UI is consistent.
