On the iPad 3's lifespan
They weren't asked to apologise or say they believed anything. They were asked to publish a certain statement, giving the facts of the outcome of the case. Along the lines of "On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that ....".

So they were asked to publish a statement of fact on their own site and in several newspapers. But they added extra stuff to the end, thus changing the tone and context.

I'm trying to find out what they were originally asked to print so we can compare to what they actually did.

edit: Point 87 of the judgement here says what they were supposed to publish:
http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2012/1339.html

"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].

Ask HN: How do you tell if developer candidates can Get Things Done?
We can use tests to tell if the person is Smart and knowledgeable. Interviews, resumes, and references all give some info, but it's still very hard to tell if a person knows how to buckle down and deliver. I want to avoid hiring the smart, knowledgeable flakes.

The latest fad is hiring them for a trial project, but the management overhead and cost is just too much. And management does not want me to expose our SCC.

If the candidate has open-source to show, great, but most don't and I don't have the luxury of choosing only the ones who do.

Has anyone tried assigning a the development of a small app as a test (i.e., not meant for your own codebase), and then outsourcing the supervision of the process? Any other ideas?

First impressions upon landing:

I have no idea what this site is. The 'about us' link in the bottom left is hidden enough to make it annoying (if this wasn't from HN, I probably would have closed the tab). When I do visit the 'About' page, it's a wall of text.

Your call-to-action of 'Apply to Join' should be far more apparent. (Assuming that is the CTA?)

Your tag line of 'The 11K Club - A Giant Space Ark Spreading the Seeds of Humanity Across the Galaxy. Join Us on Our Journey.' is bad for two reasons:
1) It's at the bottom of the page!
2) Sounds extremely pretentious -- far too grandoise. It also doesn't say what you do in any way.
San Francisco, CA Full time.

I'm looking for a Director of International Operations for Kongregate, reporting to the COO (I'm CEO). This would be a smart generalist who could handle lots of different responsibilities - I'm open to various combinations of product management, engineering, and other backgrounds. We're expanding our international efforts and need more leadership.

Kongregate is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GameStop, but we operate very independently. We have over 15mm monthly unique visitors who spend nearly 2 billion minutes playing games on our site per month. 75% of our revenue is from virtual goods. We have 36 employees.

(we're also looking for good web and mobile engineers, as is everyone else...)
Just as a mechanical engineering degree requires a lot of physics classes, a software engineering degree would require a lot of computer science classes. There would still need to be intro courses; he has demonstrated he could probably skip them.

I'm not sure what your "turning algorithms into code" comment means. If you're trying to say that he should skip the beginner courses, then sure. But I don't see how that relates to software engineering versus computer science.

Even if there were separate software engineering and computer science tracks, you can't say which one the author should be in. That depends on what he wants to do after college: be a professional software developer, or do computer science research?
Here is a political scientist with a strong climate science background discussing how Sandy is at this moment, is #17 in terms of all time damage, but could move into the top 10.

http://rogerpielkejr.blogspot.com/2012/10/sandy-and-top-20-n...

For me the question is what kept damages from Sandy down, is it because a) it really wasn't that bad, or b) it really was that bad but East Coast resources, modern construction, and recent experiences with Katrina, etc., minimized damages?

Regardless, I find articles written a day or two after an event, by a layman, attributing causality to that event fairly vacuous.
It's the same logic as, "Lebron James totally sucks."

This is amazing. I'm definetly telling all the guys at my university about this. I really hope it catches and we end up having something like the "github" for us, hardware freaks.

Also, by enabling people to share design techniques, neat circuit ideas, inventive and creative use of components, this site has the potential to really "teach" people electronics, and to get the good practices out there.

Kudos!

Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 Released Fixes Error 2601& Support For iPad Mini & iPad 4
My perfect job would be similar in many ways, however I'd be working closer with Python, JavaScript, Scala, Mongo, MySQL, Amazon Web Services, Java and Android. I'd also hopefully be getting paid closer to 100,000 (USD) (or at least 80,000) and have the flexibility to work from home; my office is less than 10 minutes away (or at most less than 60 minutes).

Since I am in the USA, I would enjoy a job that allows me to travel, or at least work remotely for 2-3 months straight and let me travel. That would be a major perk.
I think the idea that animals don't have altruistic abilities is incorrect. Besides the occasional news stories of animals doing seemingly altruistic things (sometimes even for other species), the common act of an animal raising it's young is inherently altruistic.

Not sure why everyone is complaining about the resizing thing. I thought that was the whole point of the demo, to show that you can control an animation with the window size.
In this particular case, it's true. According to Section 7704(b)(1)(A)(i) [0] harvesting emails is considered an aggravated violation of the CAN-SPAM act and is subject to triple the statutory fines per section 7706(2)(f)(3)(C). The normal statutory fines are up to $250 per violation per section 7706(2)(f)(3)(A). Doing the math, 28000 * $250 is $7,000,000.

Fortunately, according to 7706(2)(f)(3)(B) this is capped at $2,000,000. However, this is prior to triple damages taking effect for aggravated violations of section 7704. This means that those 28,000 emails (should one be foolish enough to email them) carry a CAN-SPAM penalty of up to $6,000,000. Or about $214 per email address. I hope it's worth it.

When I consider what my own answer to that question might be, I think the "doing what I love: computers" answer is a given. It's completely obvious to me that I'll still be doing what I love in 5 years. I usually take the question to mean, "Where do you expect to progress to in 5 years?"

Surely I'll still be doing what I love, but I hope I grow to take on more responsibility. If I'm not growing in my ability, then I might just be a bad programmer, and I probably don't love it anyway.

If I answer with "perhaps leading my own team", does that mean I don't love computers? (Nope.)

Ask HN: Best mobile ad network for India
I have an iOS App that has become pretty popular in India. It's a free App and has ads via AdMob. It has high fill rate (almost 97%) but unfortunately very low eCPM. The ads get over 10M requests a month but eCPM is around $0.02. I am wondering if there are other networks besides AdMob that has high fill rate and good eCPM?

Thanks :) Think it's easy for some to forget it's a tech demo, so it isn't meant to be absolutely 'perfect', but really happy with the feedback so far.

Good idea re the curtain - it would be quite an easy port to make the animation work like that, so think I might do that at some point.

Think there are lots of possibilities around window resizing that haven't been explored yet - could make some really interesting effects...

something that made me way more than $50/m
I would love a drafting table size touch interface. I think there's still a lot of space left to explore to find a way to reject "resting" touches. Beyond sensor / algorithm based approaches which might look at surface area or pressures, one could also go with some pretty simplistic solutions. Something as dumb as a foot bar connected to a switch letting active touches through might be fine for at-desk operation.

>>>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"

Well, if using the definition of pop culture described in this article, pop culture evolves. Where countries drive on the road can be related more to how programming languages define blocks of code. C-like languages use curly braces to define blocks. This can be related to how since medieval times, horses rode on the left side of the road. More modern languages use different ways to define blocks of code. For example, Python uses tabbing and whitespace, Ruby uses the `end` keyword.

Continuing to use the traffic analogy, you don't have to use cruise control while driving on a long stretch of highway, but it's a lot easier to, and everyone else does. In the article, raganwald is talking about how coding conventions and techniques evolve over time. The analogy about driving in the UK vs the US is more equivalent to the syntactic rules of the specific language you are working with; it's the law which side of the road to drive on. You'll get penalized if you do otherwise. Using or not using cruise control is your choice, and so are naming conventions in different languages. Conventions evolve, even when the specific "laws" of the languages don't change as quickly, or at all.
It has been about a month since the site went live and the first priority has been (and still is) to build up momentum with volunteers. Nonetheless I am actively seeking charities who could benefit from these kinds of projects but so far - to my frustration - I have lots of encouragement and interest but no projects started. It actually hurts to admit that in a public forum, but I can't see the point in pretending otherwise. I have met up with local charity reps who love the idea, but I guess it takes time for something like this to gain traction when charities are already invested financially and emotionally in existing programmes of work, plus funding bids, plus tenders for service provision, not to mention the ongoing stress of keeping organisations afloat in the midst of global financial problems. I've heard some awful stories about how hard it is to keep a charity or NPO afloat right now.

But that makes me even more determined. Charities and NPOs should not be (but are) the ones to suffer most when times are hard.

Regarding specific technologies; it all depends on projects and is somewhat volunteer driven. An organisation might want (just for example) to make a campaign for mobile devices but will not care about which platform (or they might care but not enough to say no to an available Android developer).

I'm also very conscious of how these projects are supported after delivery (when the volunteer finishes). It won't be good if the net result is an unsustainable support and maintenance burden, so up-front planning is needed to a) avoid that or b) plan for it if necessary.

So far all the costs have been covered out of my pocket, and when I have good month (I'm a freelancer) I will sink some more into a marketing campaign. I'm not a marketer, no sir, its a shame I'm not asking for volunteer marketers else I could tap one of them.

My previous understanding was that chimps imitate, but don't teach: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/ape-genius.html

The article you linked said the chimps were teaching, but was rather vague about how. It seemed to be more focused on the nut cracking behavior, so it's hard to tell if they are actually teaching or just learning by example.

As with most other traits, it may be that it's not that other animals don't teach. Instead maybe it's matter of degrees: chimps don't teach much, humans teach a lot. The lack of altruism might explain why chimps mostly don't bother to teach other chimps, even though they have the ability.
