they have blocked NYT, making a confirmation in Chinese government way. In china , smart people call Wen a "king of actors".He appears in "CCTV news" everyday as a hard work leader , but we do not believe him .He is so like acting, nearly forgeting he is an asshole.
But mass chinses people think, he is a good leader, who will never steal money using his power(because he is a so good an actor).
I dont know how can we do as a chinese civalian . I do not believe the next government either.

The sheer popularity of Markdown implies that there are some use cases for it. For example, Reddit uses Markdown exclusively, and I don't believe ALL their users are highly tech-savvy.

Personally, I don't trust or use (if I can avoid it) any on-the-web WYSIWYG text editor, because a) they tend to be slow and clunky and b) it's difficult to predict what HTML they will turn out a lot of the time, and I will often end up needing to edit that HTML.

Also, for common blogging / commenting tasks, Markdown is as fast or faster to use than WYSIWYG editors. I've been faffing around with a forum that won't let me use Markdown recently, and forces me to use its clunky WYSIWYG editor to add lists into my posts. It didn't take long for me to start yearning for the simplicity of linebreak - asterisk - item rather than a multiple-click WYSIWYG process.
I do not agree that a spec has to be written in English. Like most natural languages, it is very easy to be ambiguous and to underspecify. Resolving this can make English just as human un-readable as anything else.

Specs like this should be written as executable reference implementations in a well defined programming language. This can very well be human readable, and should be done without regard for efficient execution. It's less ambiguous, amenable to automated conformance testing, and is easier to evolve than a natural language document.
Wikipedia also uses markdown. So since there is no standard format for URLs, let's pick a good one.

Also, it could support both of these syntaxes at once - they don't conflict.

Como recuperar a mi esposa
Cuando su esposa decide dejarte puede llegar a ser un revés emocional importante.

En lugar de estar amargado y perder el control de la situación, es importante que usted mantenga su compostura y explorar maneras de cómo llegar a su esposa.
Seguramente ha habido serias razones que llevaron a este evento desafortunado en su relación con su esposa. Sin embargo, si usted es sincero en salvar su matrimonio tendrá que empezar a rodar el balón para atraer de vuelta a su esposa.
If that's the spec, how do we know which aspects of the executable are really part of the specification and which are implementation details? For (a somewhat extreme for the sake of illustration) example, if the spec is written for Ruby 1.8, do C implementations have to intentionally slow down to match its execution speed?
Really I would think it doesn't matter. With that kind of interest (even if it just of the curiosity kind, rather than the stickiness kind), then it's a definite flag that you're onto something.

So, even if the 200k users never came back, there was clearly something interesting about the concept to get that much attention. And with the right development, the next 200k people can be convinced to stay around.

It's a lot easier to convince 200k people for a second look than it is to find 200k in the first place.

You should add some sarcasm tag to posts like this. Not everybody gets it and I actually wouldn't be surprised if there is one legitimately naive and/or ignorant hackernews poster who could have posted this and meant it.
The whole resilience thing is about pushing through all the bad luck that can be expected to come along. So that you're there when the good luck comes through.

Sure, not everyone is going to make it, and the bad luck is going to finish them. But doing a presentation about waiting around for luck to strike would be extremely bad advice.

While there is variation in outcomes, people who have posted consistent results show that luck isn't the major determining factor in long-term success. Luck will change the amplitude, but it's up the skills of the founder to make sure they are always pushing through the bad times to reach the chance to succeed.

'(maybe because they aren't as successfully though)'

I think this is the key. Samsung are the target because they're making a huge success of their phones and threatening (even in the US) Apple's position as the perceived 'gold standard' for smartphones. That perception has already faded away in other parts of the world.

Perhaps they are only suing Samsung because only Samsung's designs are close enough to be covered by their design patents. That doesn't mean (to me) anything other than that the patent system is broken. I don't think that proceeding with these lawsuits is the right thing to do. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

The fact that Meteor wish to call this Rockdown suggests to me it is to change it.

By creating a specification and tests, they will be modifying Markdown even if just subtly enough to remove bugs and ambiguity. Doing even that is to create something that isn't Markdown, existing Markdown parsers may do something different with the same text... so clearly this isn't Markdown.

It may share 90% (or more, or less) similarity with Markdown, but some areas would certainly need tweaking and changing to make the goal (specification, testability, consistent implementations) possible.

To my understanding this means that Rockdown is Markdown inspired/derived.

And as such, that there is a hope that a good specification and the ability to be implemented in a testable and consistent way... will, by mass use (on the sites mentioned), eventually result in Rockdown superseding Markdown.

In my universe, I'm simply looking to get rid of bbcode as the markup syntax of choice. And if you were at the support end of trying to tell people how to insert images on forums then you'd understand that the Markdown syntax is a real difficulty for a lot of people.

The path that I prefer is to use Markdown, but the areas that cause the greatest difficulty in usability testing, to modify those to make things more implicit and frictionless. Worrying about []() (or vice versa) is an obstacle to the user that shouldn't exist. But if everything else is good from a user perspective then I definitely want to keep that stuff.
Main advantage of Socket.IO is that you can do a push to the client over a persistent connection, that is not possible with Ajax in this way.
Your results shows that, if you only need pulls from the clients, you could easily use ajax with all the landscape like jQuery and so on and it's not necessary to use Socket.IO.

The sosumi div is used worldwide, and is the name of the div for legal links on Apples home page, it's not new for this notice. A good historical reference, but nothing to do with this legal judgement.

Supporting many less things is markdown's big advantage. It's a format that makes everything as simple as possible, but no simpler; it's the perfect format for "almost-plain" text like I often want in a readme - mostly plain text, but with headings, bulleted lists and the occasional hyperlink.

Compared to rst it's a lot easier to write links. I hadn't even heard of textile, but its link syntax also seems harder to write than markdown's. WikiCreole might be better, but right now figuring out what syntax a given wiki will support is far more of a crapshoot than using an arbitrary markdown implementation.

How to build a C sharp application with HttpListener to receive SMS messages
Hi all,
I need a C# application to receive SMS messages, and I found a source code at the official site of Ozeki NG SMS Gateway with some information on HTTPListener, as well. Could you give me your opinion on:
1.	The source code itself: whether it would work.
2.	Ozeki NG SMS Gateway: whether it really is so reliable and robust as I keep reading it everywhere.
3.	HTTPListener: if it would be a good choice as a webserver.
Thank you for your answers, and here’s what I found at http://www.ozekisms.com/sql-sms-gateway/index.php?owpn=696

This isn't even an apology in the slightest. It's only on the UK site as well. (I've checked .de .com .fr and it's no where to be seen, which makes sense if you are Apple).

However, if they are going to display it only in UK, then they should have at least spelt "judgment" correctly. They use "/uk/legal-judgement/" (Over in UK there is only a single "e" not two).

Anyway, totally not an apology. It looks more like an accusation and a reassertion how bitter they feel about the verdict, by cherry picking quotes to suite them.

------

(Edit: In the interest of setting the point straight since this is the top comment and it seems to be getting wrongfully upvoted, Apple didn't legally have to "make an apology". They just had to make it clear that Samsung did not infringe Apples registered design [1]. However, I do think that in spite of quoting the judgment extract verbatim, they still fall short of this requirement, since they continue for 3 more paragraph drilling out other points that supported Apple).

In a comment area (like on HN) it rarely makes sense to be able to add headings. Could some features of the specification be optional, so that a parser can be conforming even if it disabled those features?

The most frequently cited example is that Singapore pays its government executives market wages, and they consistently rank in the top 5 least corrupt nations[0]

But so do Australia and New Zealand, and the salaries here in the government sector are much lower than they are in the private sector.

This is a well researched field[1]:

> In a bribery experiment, we test the hypothesis that distributive fairness considerations make relatively well-paid public officials less corruptible. Corrupt decisions impose damages to workers whose wage is varied in two treatments. However, there is no apparent difference in behavior.

There is no link between wages and corruption - there are many, many other factors that make up corruption.

Punishment and likelihood of being caught also seems to not disuade corruption. China has a large and very well funded public prosecutors office that focuses solely on corruption cases, the onus of evidence is low, it is the #1 domestic issue with much political pressure and the usual sentence on conviction is death (frequently plea bargained down to life or less in return for implicating others, but many corrupt officials have been executed).

They brought this upon themselves, so no empathy from me.

They are a disorganized bunch of immature young activists, who in a streak of megalomania abandoned their strict focus on IT related topics and it just fell apart.

Sympathetic face of Pirate Party stepped down due to stress, Party was too slow to react to anything going on, Major Pirate Party Member faces drug allegations, at the same time they try to create some sort of grand program what they seem to not be able to achieve, and their views on political subjects other than the Internet are unrealistic, to say the least (some smart children wouldn't write such drivel).

So as somebody who has passively witnessed their decline:

Their fault! You could call their decline natural political selection :D
IMO, for the spec the most important point is to add mandatory versioning information on the first line of markdown scripts, e.g.

_markdown_version_ Rockdown_1.0

This would allow processor implementers to support more than one markdown version (for a transition period or in general).

> It is an extremely tacky move to assign a value to something you're giving away for free.

Actually in the UK it's an encouraged thing by HMRC.

HMRC would rather see you invoice a company for £5k and then to write it off as a gift, than to not see records at all.

In the case of giving to charities via this method, the government will go so far as to give you a benefit on your declared level of corporate tax as a direct result of giving something to a charity and invoicing in this way.

You might internally consider that to be a marketing activity, or a social/community/sustainability activity, but the government cares not... they strongly want to see benefits and gifts recorded and will (in some cases such as charities, non-profits, etc) will reward you by taking less tax.

That's UK specific of course, but point is: the UK government and tax office don't view it as tacky. And it's a good business incentive to offer such benefits to charities and other specified types of organisation.

Introduction to Embedding the PH7 PHP Engine in a C/C++ Host Application
I'm inclined to actually believing a lot of this.

When I got into university I found every course very easy, didn't attend any lectures, got all my workshops to run on the same day to reduce my face time and maxed out my free time to do whatever I wanted (work/friends/extra/etc). I'm a STEM major at a top 30 world ranked engineering school with good grades.

I've often asked if I could max out my classes and finish a degree within a year and a half - but I've never been allowed to skip more than a few subjects (tests/bugging the heads of departments).

University shouldn't be time capped or subject load restricted - people should be allowed to do as many as they wish - or you'll find more and more moving towards MOOCs instead.
Actually, "judgment" is the correct spelling in this context:

Personally I'd have gone for dry as dust legalese, made the first two paragraphs legal gibberish under the guise of background and by the time you got to the actual meat of the statement no-one would have been reading.

But to be honest given what the judge actually said, he surely can't have expected anything else? Cherry picking was obviously going to be an option for Apple and he frankly gave them the cherry to end all cherries.
There was effectively nothing about linear algebra on that page. After some link followings, it appears that http://www.scotthyoung.com/mit/1806-exam.pdf is the exam which the student was happy with (having done worse on the first version). The final score appears to be 66 out of 100.

Based on that test, I think the title is link-bait as it isn't "mastering linear algebra" but "passing an introductory algebra course."
