I think Mr. Cook needs to rid Apple of a few more bad ones.

I would hate to think he approves of this level of immaturity, but if he does then he should go too.
Thanks! For people using rbenv, there's a simple installation recipe in my first comment on the ticket: http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7158#note-1
Because most users have a relatively fixed base load, and buying reserved instances for that base load lets you save lots of money. The ideal setup would look like: reserved instances for base load, on-demand for natural daily curves, and spot instances for batch or price sensitive work.
The judgement specified where, when, and how to publish the notice down to which website and publications, the typeface, and point size.

It was sloppy to do all that and then not either properly parameterise what should be published or include a requirement that the copy be agreed or reviewed before publication.

Apple complied with the letter of the judgment and arguably the spirit of the judgment which was "not designed to punish" but rather "to dispel commercial uncertainty". It clearly states that Samsung's products were found not to infringe in England and Wales. Unambiguously. Can anyone parse that first paragraph in any other way?

Going on to provide nuance by quoting the original judge and including rulings from other jurisdictions doesn't negate that.

Apple have been foolish in getting the court's dander up, but they're not wrong.
This is outrageous.Wont we have the freedom of expression?
does anyone have any ideas on what we could do to help this person?
There's nothing built-in yet, but we do have a feature tracking it that I'd encourage you to vote for: http://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/691

The priority of this has gone up for us after PEP 405 but we weren't able to get to it for 1.5. You can go to Tools->Options->Python Tools->Interpreter Options and setup a custom interpreter which points to your virtualenv, but we need to make it easier than doing that.
Pretty cool idea, though having to constantly resize the window got annoying, and I think it lost track of the window size after while because Mario started collecting coins without touching them, then ran off the screen as he did a flying jump, after which the demo froze (on Chrome).

Wow, Apple even copied Xerox's non-apologies for lost lawsuits.

Thanks Franco and StartupPlays! Mike here with Erli Bird. I'm usually a lurker here on HN but shouldn't be. Our goal is to help new startups get some users, feedback, and improve. We also want to provide a way for early adopters to get more involved early-on and help shape companies they love. We've had a few nice success stories, but we have a long way to go and are constantly trying to learn and improve. Happy to answer any questions and listen to any feedback that you have.
The purpose of the notice was explicitly to counter some of the damage from Apple's very public claims that Samsung had clearly copied the iPad with their Samsung Galaxy Tab. Apple tried to damage Samsung by taking victory in advance. When they then lose, it is only natural they face consequences, otherwise they would have no incentive not to the same again.

They chose to take the proposed wording, chop it into two pieces, and inject their own paragraphs that are clearly intended to play up Apple and to downplay and dilute the purpose of the message and create doubt about whether or not there was copying by referring to other judgements, and on top that they are misrepresenting the court cases they mention:

The German court did not find that Samsung had carried out any infringing copying of their design. The US jury did NOT find the Samsung Galaxy Tab infringing. Apple's comment is technically correct, but they are on purpose clearly failing to mention that the judgement is mostly irrelevant to the UK case as it deals mainly with other products than the UK case (which only deals with the Galaxy Tab), and in the one instance where it is relevant, Samsung prevailed.

Apple is free to question the judgement, but doing so by diluting the effect of the very message the judges ordered them to put in place is at best a stupid mistake, at worst wilful attempt at doing an endrun around the court. The only reason they got away with this as lightly as they did is because the judges can't prove it wasn't someone just being stupid. So they've given Apple another chance and given them more rope - if Apple tries this stunt again, someone will be in serious personal trouble.
What I find most interesting about this post is that the comments section is replaced with links to Reddit and Hacker News. Not a bad way to stir up attention to a post.

Transcriptic: Core Developer

Menlo Park, CA

Transcriptic is the "Amazon Web Services" for life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

We're looking for highly talented full-stack web developers as well as combined background EE/CS engineers for automation integration and development. Experience reverse engineering USB based protocols is a plus.

We're a very small startup (you'd be #5), but well funded and have customers. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a really small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.

A biology background is preferred but not strictly necessary for outstanding people. The codebase is mostly Ruby and Scala, with some Python.

"Legal tender" only means they're compelled by law to accept the payment to discharge a debt. Anyone can decide to accept anything as payment.

Also, paying for your groceries in that way (self-checkout) isn't discharging a debt as no debt was incurred: You could have decided not to pay and put the groceries back, after all.

Hi Imm,

Ah, yes, my brain inserted "the last" in there somehow.
I believe that suing everyone under the sun for patent infringement is a public stance on patent laws.
Many things in programming are like that. Why do you use CamelCase in JavaScript but underscores_in_ruby? Because everyone else does, and that’s the language’s "style."

By that logic, driving on the right side of the road in the US vs driving on the left in the UK is "pop culture".

The reasoning in the article didn't improve as I read on...
Greaaat. Can't wait for the "Show HN: Cleaned my garage in pure CSS" post :)

...if the law was drafted "properly", there is very little police can do about it even if the ministers (who supposedly use them) are pissed off and want the police to do something about it.

That doesn't fit in with the nature of gov't corruption or politics.

These actions usually have hidden agendas that are instigated and planned at the party level. At the risk of oversimplifying, while one member sees the law made, another one acts on it.
Good job. Nice clean design on the site & email.

I made something in a similar vein a while back, although it wasn't linked to any social network: http://www.sendasaurus.com if you're curious. Basically you manually upload the photos and then it automatically sends them one at a time, once a day.

I think you're right to focus on the simplicity and mind-free aspect of the service. It might be worth reflecting this in your pricing too, eg have an option to pay $20 for an entire year. I definitely find it nicer to spend a lump like that and not have to think about it, than to see a monthly dribble of small amounts.
Read the judgement. It sets out the purpose of the message very clearly, and it proposes a message. It is very plainly obvious that the way they modified the proposed wording makes a mockery of the stated purpose of the order.

The judgement also describes the UK courts view on the US and German cases, which sheds even more light on why they were pissed of at this: Apple's wording might be technically true, but they're misleading the readers of the note the put up there too (e.g. they seem to try to imply the Galaxy Tab - which is what the UK case was about - was found infringing in the US case; it was not).

So far, you have an attractive background and a call to action. There is no explanation whatsoever regarding what I will get when I sign up. I'm a bit crazy, but I'm not stupid. Although, I have to say that the concept of having a virtual "hangout" could be nice if done correctly. You just need to let us know what to expect prior to asking for personal information.
I agree that it is neat, but a CPU? Each board is one slice. I believe even the tiniest FPGA available today has thousands of slices, and I'm pretty sure even a 4-bit CPU would take quite a bit more than a couple slices.
FTC whacks "Rachel from card holder services"
I think that depends what you're comparing. For CPU bound applications, I think you're right, $/cpu is fairly expensive on EC2. However, memory tends to be cheaper on EC2 than most other VPS providers:

EC2 Small Instance with 3 year reservation:
1.7GB RAM, $18/month

Linode would be around $60/month for the same amount of RAM.

Of course, the EC2 reservation requires that you use the same instance for 3 years and amortize the reservation upfront cost, but there are lot of reasonable applications that fit into this mold.

Exactly. Again i have difficulty understanding the notion behind it. You can rule, and fine, or what ever you want. But you cant force me to apologise or admit something that i do not believe in.
>Your rate is set by the market

It certainly ought not be. That your rate resembles the market is a CONSEQUENCE, not a driver. The driver of your rate needs to be based upon the value of your services. Are you going to enable a company to make $500,000 more next year? Then if they want to pay you $50/hr because it's 'market rate', you need to tell them to kiss your ass.

The presumption is that everyone is already doing this, and that everyone has a reasonably correct understanding of what the actual value of their work is. This is a false presumption, but it is a presumption which is absolutely necessary for any defense of capitalism. Knowledge of value has to be spread equally or all of the promises of capitalism fall apart. Anyhow, if everyone DID know what the value of their work was and set their prices by that, the idea is that a market rate would establish itself, which certainly would happen. What we've got today however is employers telling everyone to set their rates by the 'market rate' and ignore any other drivers... which makes it very easy to drive down the price over time. That would be why the average salary of the lower 90% of the economy has only risen 1% in the past 30 years, even though worker productivity and corporate earnings have skyrocketed.

This is true. I'd prefer scala-style constructor syntax - though I'm not sure how you could retain python's wonderful symmetry between constructors and methods, and the distinction between allocation and initialization.
Legal Tender only means what you have to accept in settlement of a debt. You can choose to accept small denomination coins in any volume, or anything else for that matter. But if you have agreed a transaction with someone, or otherwise have a debt to that person, a court will consider the payment made if you pay (or try to pay) with legal tender.

> It was sloppy to do all that and then not either properly parameterise what should be published or include a requirement that the copy be agreed or reviewed before publication.

No, it was pretty clear what message Apple were supposed to give, and that's a good enough ruling.

> "Billy, don't take cookies from the jar."

< munch munch "I didn't take them, they fell out when I held the jar upside down."

> "Don't touch the jar, then."

< munch munch "I did't touch the jar, I used a spoon."

> "Stay 5 meters away from the jar at all times."

< munch munch "I did stay away! I just convinced my brother to get them for me."

Et cetera. With lawyers involved, this kind of process can go on indefinitely. At some point, you have to stop adjusting the rules and call them out on obvious disobedience.
I don't really follow this, but I think we're in agreement that fundamentally your prices need to follow the value that your work generates; that value is orthogonal to what you feel you need to be making every month.

Cost-based prices are for gypsum and tile wax.
The court order is in writing, and it includes a proposed text of the statement. Apple changed it. This is what the court wrote:

"Finally I should say something about the notice itself. We heard no discussion about that. Plainly Judge Birss's Schedule has been overtaken by events. Subject to anything that may be submitted by either side I would propose the following:

On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited's Galaxy Tablet Computers, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple's registered design No. 0000181607-0001. A copy of the full judgment of the High court is available on the following link [link given].

That Judgment has effect throughout the European Union and was upheld by the Court of Appeal on ….. A copy of the Court of Appeal's judgment is available on the following link […]. There is no injunction in respect of the registered design in force anywhere in Europe.

In the result I would dismiss both appeals but vary the publicity order as indicated or in such other way as may be agreed or settled by further argument. I would hope that any such argument (and any other consequential) arguments can be resolved by written submissions.:"

If Apple thinks that "I would propose the following" means they're free to change the text as they please, they better fire their lawyer, especially given the preceding "Subject to anything that may be submitted by either side".

Ask HN: Looking for an iOS-cofounder and your feedback
Hello everyone!

Today I was sitting and thinking about place where you can meet some nice co-founder. And I've realized, that HackerNews is on of the best places, to tell a startup idea. Also I'd like to say sorry for my bad English, hope you will understand my idea. So let's start.

The project name is Dressable or http://en.dressable.me/. The main idea is to simplify shopping process and try to solve some problems, that appear when
you are at a shop and would like to buy something. Two main causes are: you see something and you are sure, that you want to buy exactly this product,
and exactly today. Meanwhile, it's very rare situation when people are so sure about something. Usually, they are looking for some ideas how to make a choice.
To solve this problem you can do shopping with your close friend, or with a boyfriend/girlfriend, or try to ask people in shop, or try to bring some fashion expert with you, even ask your parent for some certain age time frames. Some people can try to send MMS, or to call to someone and try to describe, what they are interested to buy.

So the main idea, from a customer's point of view, is to provide fast and reliable connections with people who influence you on fashion field. From technology point, it will be a client application, where you will be able to take a picture and discuss with people who influence you, in real-time. And solid back-end part with lots of data mining and information retrieval.

If you are interested, I can describe additional points of making money and some implementation points, or my background and experience in related fields
and other questions, that you will ask.

I got good feedback from consumers, who is interested in our project and people with solid entrepreneurial background. Also I know some people from the fashion area.

And now I'm looking for some strong UI/UX iOS guys, who can help me to build this.

Best regards,
Sergii
