Increasing prices don't just reduce demand. They also increase supply. Uber can't order drivers to work against their will. By increasing the price, they are making more sedans available.

Interesting, over-the-air updating really is broken on the iPhone 5. When you check for updates, it has you download an "iOS Update Enabler" app.
Interview with John Hann, Creator of curl.js
Sorry, but no, they didn't.
The judge didn't fuck up. The court was quite specific in it's order, as someone quoted below:

"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"
Big difference between saying "I find that unpleasant and I prefer not to participate in it" and "that is a terrible thing and no one should participate in it". In the case of an activity which harms no one, I prefer to skew toward the former.

Standing up for your own values is fine and good. The part I was objecting to was the OP (1) making the assumption in his article in his article that everyone reading also shared his values and (2) suggesting that those values ought to apply for everyone, not just himself.
Best place to launch a company? Not the valley anymore...
Hi, co-founder here. Thanks for the feedback.

We take your points about the volume of text. But this isn't the marketing stunt - the stunt has already taken place. We got 13,300 people to sign up to a site that they knew nothing about. We admitted some of those people today. The idea of the site is a community of people who help each other. They initially help young people find employment and accumulate karma in doing so. They then use their karma to barter help for themselves from the clubs members.

It's a big experiment and won't be to everyones taste. I appreciate the 'journey' page is quite long and detailed but it'll give you an idea as to what we set out to do.

The tagline was from a member - it was his reason for wanting to join something he knew nothing about. But again, we take your point and we'll look to test it a little more.

Thanks for the feedback though, it is appreciated and we'll look to make things a little clearer for those visiting the site for the first time.
Its important to understand that they weren't asked to publish an 'apology' or state any beliefs. They were asked to publish a specifically worded statement of fact about the outcome of the case.

What they were asked to publish is roughly the first and fifth paragraphs of what they actually published. They added four other paragraphs.

Points 87 and 88 of the appeal judgement here say what they should have published:

http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2012/1339.html

Which is:

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.

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

At first I thought that there is some kind of "food recognition" going on but after watching the video I was a little bit disappointed... It seems to me that you are not doing anything interesting with the image... or are you using the image + input from the user to train some kind of artificial intelligence that can recognise food?
Youngest Person to Attract Venture Capital
nginx made it into the base install? That's another fairly significant, at least in my mind, vote of confidence for nginx.
One point that I dont think we marketed very well is that we took the waiver signing process for 4mins to 58 seconds. What's cool about that is I've got 4 kids and showing up to the trampoline center is probably the slowest most painful thing I've ever been through. Would love some thoughts on how we could make this better / even quicker still for people?
I take it you mean in particular the related article that jonjacky links in another comment here.

The OP article is pretty brief and superficial. The related article is a good newspaper article with some significant biographical background.
This is sad news! Arctic Startup developed immensely in the quality and depth of reporting in the last two years (props to both Antti and Greg on this). Granted it was impossible to keep up a deluge of posts, hastily slapped together or semi-sensationalist like some other European tech media do, but at least weekly, there was a pearl of writing to be discovered at AS. Hope that continues as a community-driven effort.

>Could it be that writing has made it impossible for us to communicate with animals that don't have it?

Not an answer to your question, but more a clarification. There are lots and lots of people who do not know how to read or write. I don't think enlisting the help of illiterate people (or societies, the small ones that there are) would be any help in better understanding animals.
Hey David, I agree with you but the point I was trying to get across is that if you dislike receiving unsolicited emails then you should try to make it harder for random people (such as recruiters) to get your email addy.
The judge, in fact, included proposed text in the order, and said "use this subject to submissions by either side". Rather than submit anything and argue about it, they just decided to do whatever they wanted.
I agree with your entire comment except for the first sentence. When working for a ideological goal, it is important to continually and earnestly evaluate what goals the imagined solution will actually fulfill, lest one end up misplacing faith in an implementation that can never achieve the desired ends.

First, this FPGA is still not implemented by things that are the lowest level - how do you know that 7404 doesn't actually contain secret logic looking for specific patterns on the 6 "independent" inputs (based on your widely-propagated design) that alter it's behavior?

Second, if one wanted to build an auditable CPU, they would not start by building auditable reconfigurable logic in order to develop a soft core CPU on top of it. This is a needless extra layer of interpretation, and the number one constraint you're trying to overcome is the constant factors that are left out of the Big-Oh notation.

We don't buy Intel processors because we're lazy and have money to burn, but because they contain a billion transistors switching a billion times a second. If you build something with 10k transistors switching at 10M Hz, something that would take 1 second on the modern CPU will take roughly 3 months.

So I think there's two properties to be achieved for actual Free Computing. The first is roughly getting something that can compute. These days, this can be done by buying a standard PC and installing your own software on it. This may not continue to be possible (so we would have to eg rely on integrating our own ARM chips, then FPGAs, then microcontrollers, etc), but trying to put a solution forward before it is necessary isn't going to get very far. There also is available computation that is unlikely to go away - Javascript in web browsers, available to all but sandboxed programming toy apps, etc.

Which brings us to the second quality of Free Computing, which is auditability - guaranteeing that the code running is doing what it says, rather than a subtle corruption which renders the whole sensitive algorithm broken. To get performance, we would like it if such a CPU could be made in a necessarily non-trusted fab, rather than independently assembled from discrete transistors. This seems like a harder, but yet better defined problem - meaning it might actually be possible to solve through some combination of clever proofs and bootstrapping trust up from an extremely simple auditable CPU.

How to Live a Great Story and Do the Impossible
I'm also skeptical. My dog has shown me things many times, in a "hey, come look at this, it's interesting" way (e.g. a hedgehog). This theory doesn't explain that, and, from what I gather, precludes it.
Stepping back and being quiet
I haven't heard of the application, but if it works well I would surely use it. I think that we will be hearing more about him in the future.
Great platform and product for Apps!
In the mid90s, I got a short tour of mission control through the IBM project manager that was redoing the control stations into modern workstations. (At that time, IBM's role at JSC had shrunk to a faint shadow of its former glory, but that is a much longer story.) The most shocking thing I learned was that all those mission control consoles were not static systems. Many (most?) of those consoles had major changes during each mission. Today, of course, we would just update some software to change indicator light/display label as needed during a mission. But back then, as soon as launch was over the engineers were crawling under the consoles, re-wiring many indicators to their new display functions for the next mission phase, putting new labels on the consoles, etc. I got an entirely new appreciation for the engineering requirements of mission control.
And it has a shockingly beautiful animation of the settings icon. Truly just surprised me.
Miles-Long Gasoline Lines In New Jersey Show The Case For "Price Gouging"
This law may be too broad as well, but it's not nearly as bad as the Indian one. "a message that he knows to be false" is a pretty important limitation of what the law applies to. Mr. Srinivasan would probably not have been charged under the UK version of the law.
It was the fact that they jump that bothered me. If they were just fixed in place it wouldn't have been so distracting.

Apple isn't in this (the lawsuits) for the money. I'm quite sure they're spending more on the suits than they'd lose to Samsung in the marketplace. It's about credit and fairness from their point of view. They don't want people riding their coat-tails or cheapening what they've created. I don't know that they're right -- I think their brand is strong enough to shake off Samsung, and they should take a page from the fashion industry, where brand is everything and copying is rampant, but nobody sues. But that's how they see it. Notice they're not suing Microsoft over the Surface? I'd bet there's some patent somewhere that would apply. Maybe there's some sort of understanding going on, but I seriously doubt it. I think it's because the Surface is genuinely different.
What they were asked to publish was just the first and fifth paragraphs of that. See judgement here (point 87) http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2012/1339.html
$20/year is the other payment option when you upgrade. It's just easier to say $2/month in marketing copy than "$2/month or $20/year".

Why Networking Technology used in Cloud Platforms Matters
I've always thought that the "trough of sorrow" should really be re-cast as the "personal trough[s] of sorrow," i.e. every day, every decision is confronted by doubt, and you have to continually overcome the fear of failure.

This is exacerbated by the fact that you're constantly confronted with stories about other people / teams / companies that are "crushing it."

The good news is that it really does get easier with practice and repetition. Kind of like jumping into a freezing cold pool for swim practice. After the first couple of times you realize, "hey, I didn't drown," which makes the next few times easier. It never gets easy, just easier than when you started.
>would you rather have bottled water cost $5 a bottle during Sandy or not be able to find any bottled water because "gouging" law kept it at $1?

If I had the $5 I'd rather they gouge me. On the other hand, if I had only $1 at least there's a chance I could get a bottle if the price stayed at $1.

To me, the supply and demand argument seems to ultimately boil down to a simple survival of the fittest scenario where "fittest" is determined by wealth.

Ethical me hates that (at least for essential goods like water, food, fuel). But selfish, "I've just survived a major natural disaster and need some f*ing water!" me wouldn't have a problem with gouging.

Tricky!

That's a great idea. I've rewritten my own version to use these signals instead of numbers where possible.

This was a Mashable article written before we revealed what we are/who we are - http://mashable.com/2012/09/20/website-exclusive-11k/ may give you a better idea behind why we used the word 'stunt' in our HN post. Once we got all the applications we wanted to create a community of helpful people - but we probably need to articulate better that's what we are/who we are.

Results from Kera's auto launch experiment. To Auto Launch or Not?
People. Top post? For hours? 165 comments and counting? For a legal spat in the UK? For every post that claims the top spot there's one that fails to get noticed.

These articles are our "Brad and Angelina" equivalents.
This observation is important. Designs frequently reflect the social structure of the group creating them. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not. For example, while there are many folks who contribute to Python, both the language and the implementation(s), it's the agreed social structure with Guido as BDFL that has kept the language from becoming a chaotic mess.
I think this is an awesome idea. I've been thinking about doing this myself for a while now... I'm heavily leaning towards picking up the Samsung Note II phone so I can take notes quickly and always have them available
The article makes some good points, but I think they apply almost equality to both science and engineering, and frankly everything else.
Although I don't hold events that need waivers I hope people adopt this so I can use it when I attend events. Is there a way so that if I've ever signed a waiver using waiverapps that I can somehow autofill everything if I ever need to fill one out again?

This only works for unskilled workers in a bad job climate as they're desperate. You're not going to be hiring a skilled programmer with that. People don't quit their job for a paid internship.

Anyway, what's the point? You can just fire them if it's not working out.

Have you ever thought of being a project manager or biz dev person? That role usually requires (or benefits from) having past programming experience and the ability to have the skill set to translate and have good communication between tech people and non-tech. I'm a front-end dev/designer but I like communicating with non-tech people and being able to relay that back to a developer in a format that makes him more productive.

The first step to doing that is to understand how drones are being used by local law enforcement. Right now, the FAA makes information about manned aircraft available to the public, but not drones. This is the difference. Right now, the public has the tools to understand how they're being surveilled by manned aircraft, but lacks the tools to understand how drones are doing it. It's not a diversion of focus.
Yah... this is something we could make happen. Single sign on would be very helpful. The only issue I do see with this is if the risk determines that they need to sign a waiver each time. Message me to discuss further nate@brightfaceapps.com

Email is the endgame. Right now, the natural flow for millions is to post photos to Instagram or Facebook. PicDigest fits that flow without any other steps.

The next major iteration of PicDigest will bypass both posting to social networks AND the step of sending photos by email. It'll change the world!!! [insert evil laugh]
The same point from a slightly different angle:

In The Information, James Gleick notes that Cambridge was a mathematical backwater after Newton -- due to its uncritical reverence for Newton and ignorance of subsequent advancements on the continent -- until Babbage came around in the 19th c. to shake things up.
Absolutely insane. I love it! Looks great, runs well, and one of the weirdest uses of media queries I've seen.
How would a content centric network work if it completely replaced our current way?

I am only faintly familular. I have been meaning to watch some talks from PARC which seem to be really into the idea.

So instead of say going to this HN article: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4727776 You would type something like /hn/Content-centric-networking-with-CCNx or something like that?

I suppose everything would be different because instead of having addresses you would just have the data. I am having a hard time seeing how this would work. Would you still have sites like Google.com or would they just have to operate in a different way?

270 front end servers sounds absurd for the TripAdvisor model.

700k requests per minute is ~12k requests per second.

I've had a sustained 4k-5k on a single un-optimised instance of nginx.

TripAdvisor pages are obviously hugely more complex but a lot of the processing will be happening in the middle tier / back end servers. Most of these front-end requests should be trivially cacheable - static content served to anonymous users, images, CSS and the like.
