“The white man has broken each of the Universe’s Divine Laws, grossly violated the human rights of all the non-white citizens of the earth and without regard plundered the earth herself in selfish exploitation of her resources.As such, we must welcome this: the emergence of the universal age of the white man’s karmic retribution,” says NBFSN Divine Karma interpreter Hallowed Yclept. “We know now that when any atrocity befalls any white person at the hands of any person of color it is in accordance with the edict and bounty the universe has issued against them for their Universal Law violations, failure to make restitution for their racial crimes and crimes against the planet.”
"their stock is likely to..."

Why? Don't just assert that it will do something. Their P/E is 12, so why won't it grow? Why haven't traders seen this "likely" scenario and sold/shorted Apple stock?
"Wizardry is a task-based library for GraphicsMagick / ImageMagick that focuses on simplicity and getting one thing done right: processing images."

Why I like these words: It's not enough to be able to write code, or even to package up a module for a framework. Knowing that you can't do everything, and that you should not try to do everything, with a single module, is a promising sign in and of itself. Having a clear goal to reach makes getting there all the more possible.

> Pollution would be treated as a tort

It's impossible in many cases to identify the source of pollution. For instance, suppose I'm a farmer and acid rain is damaging my crops. The source could be polluters hundreds or thousands of miles away. Proving that any specific polluter was the source of the pollution that hit my farm is simply not feasible.

The tort approach in essence says it is OK to pollute as much as you want as long as your pollution will be dispersed enough so that no particular victim can trace the pollution on their land back to you.

Another problem with it is that cleaning up pollution can be very expensive, so that it would not be uncommon for those polluters who can actually be identified sufficiently to be sued to not have enough money to cover the damages they cause.

The tort approach simply cannot deal with the problem. As Friedrich Hayek (one of the leading libertarian economists) noted in his book "The Road to Serfdom": "Nor can certain harmful effects of deforestation, or of some methods of farming, or of the smoke and noise of factories, be confined to the owner of the property in question or to those who are willing to submit to the damage for an agreed compensation. In such instances we must find some substitute for the regulation by the price mechanism. But the fact that we have to resort to the substitution of direct regulation by authority where the conditions for the proper working of competition cannot be created, does not prove that we should suppress competition where it can be made to function".
"Apple has quality products because it is a culture designed to produce Quality"

Steve Jobs was a big part of defining that Quality culture. Culture is not static. Jobs was able to direct his teams towards specific goals. IE. iPhone, iPad, iMacs. etc. With each new product the culture shifted. The last major shift was towards tablets and iOS. I think those shifts allowed Apple to leap their competition. Without Jobs Apple's culture has shifted again. I think we have yet to really see what will happen in the market. I am not dismissing Apple's overall ability to continue their dominance. It will be a different "culture, a different company.

"No visible lycra — I am not, and do not intend to become, a mammil."
"No fancy gear, cleats or hi-vis — I will make the journey as a human on a bike, not a “cyclist”."

Although the article is well written, and the t-shirts are nice, I can't help but feel the author is very narrow-minded. There's nothing wrong with wearing lycra, cleats, or hi-vis - it does not define the type of cyclist. This does nothing to integrate and align the interests of the different cyclist groups (ironically his mission statement is to celibate the diversity of cycling). To each their own, and if your interest is in cycling on busy roads in the dark without any lights, hi-vis or helmet then that's your choice. But don't label those who value their comfort and safety over how they look.

What's the point of commenting if you're just going to name call and divert attention from the original conversation using straw men?

If you really care about people and what's best for society you'd act differently. Granted, 2 people chatting on HN don't matter much, but why even to comment if you don't give a damn about anything other than protecting your current set of beliefs?
Actually I agree, day/month/year would make more sense. Or year/month/day either way like we did it in the service makes more sense than month/day/year.

Are you sure you were censored? Perhaps you just submitted the exact same URL that I submitted six days ago, here (which, incidentally, you commented on):

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4781004

When you submit the exact same URL as one that's been submitted before, the previous article gets a point, but a duplicate entry isn't created.

To get the article to show up again, you'd have to do something with the URL to fool HN into thinking it's a distinct submission. I wouldn't recommend doing this except under rare circumstances - perhaps years have passed and the old article has become suddenly quite relevant due to current events.

It made two things make sense to me
1. Monetization. You can own so many verticals with straightforward business models that will ALSO
2. Ease the pains of your users. I hate furnishing an office, whether a CEO of a startup or an office manager of a large office. It's the worst thing ever.
As I mentioned simply using d3 should be good enough. I have not found a chart library that cleans up after itself. You can take a look at the "basic charts" section: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery
Those people (and their employers) are the worst. They stand on the street begging like your average panhandler, but they are FAR more aggressive, making psychological warfare on passersby, and they are basically stealing from the charity recipients they claim to be fundraising to help.
i just came back from a 100 mile ride - you're a nutter to be doing it without cleats - you lose so much energy and it's asking for foot/ankle problems if you don't have stiff soles. i hope you had straps at least.

as for the lycra i have to say i feel the same way.. it stays underneath or is replaced by too-expensive rapha stuff where applicable.

nice tshirts anyway.
"How do I install RethinkDB on other Linux flavors?"

It would be nice to mention that RethinkDB only compiles on x86-64. If you follow the instructions on the linked "building from source" page, it works fine on 32 bit machines ... until you actually run "make".

It wasn't that much time, but I wouldn't have tried if I'd known ahead of time.

Thanks for the effort!

SNAPALICIOUS is a free app that offers a new way to learn how to cook
Persevere! Dynamic programming is wonderful.

I prefer swank over nailgun, even with Vim.
Hi Foodies,
a few months ago I started developing an app for iPhone called SNAPALICIOUS. My plan for this app was to create something that offers a new way for learning to cook. Yeah, a really ambitious target, you may say! What I mean for a "new way for learning to cook"? Here is an example:
you discover a new dish, you try to cook it but still there is that sauce you can't replicate.

What would you do?
1 - Search a good recipe on the web
Very difficult to distinguish good from bad before actually trying them.

2 - Ask a friend
This might work if the friend knows how to cook.

3 - Try SNAPALICIOUS and ask home-chefs how to cook a particular dish.
Using it is simple and straightforward:
Step 1 - Shoot a photo of a dish
Step 2 - Share It!
Step 3 - Give advice or ask questions to other home-chefs.

I hope you like it and give it a look.
Hmmm ... when I was 15, I spent all my time playing ultimate frisbee and riding my bicycle. Except when I was poring over the schematics and ROM code for the 1802-based COSMAC Elf.
I suppose so. The article said Schaefer didn't have an internet connection. But how else? This is hard to say. How many people really worked in this one? The article doesn't say, but it does seem to suggest that not many people seen or heard of the Oculists or this piece of writing. I would think many other ciphers have been cracked in the pre-computer era that are of equal or similar difficulty of this one, but the difference is how many eyes were on it.

This is an excellent article. When wired writes a good article, it is always amazing.
The inability of people in the average fortune 500 company to read materials sent out before a meeting is simply amazing. Reading things in a meeting before you start is a great thing, I've been in places where some VP shows up at a meeting but never read the background material and make a decision without the facts. Then you have to walk back their decision which takes the political “juice” that so many middle managers have which requires many more meetings and reports.

Having worked at Amazon, the farther away you get from Jeff the less this happens. And I’ve seen a few middle managers from average fortune 500 firms who got hired that learned to just stare at the paper but not actually read it.

German city says OpenOffice shortcomings are forcing it back to Microsoft
Two issues I have with the prevailing narrative of these discussions:

1. The idea that Steve Jobs, while immensely important and influential, was some sort of indispensable man. Yes, Sony faltered after Akio Morita passed, and Disney after Walt was gone. But is history so certain to repeat? Are corporations really impotent without the leadership of Randian ubermensch?

2. The idea that Apple simply had to create a new product this year. Not every year prior to Jobs' passing had new Apple products appearing. Certainly everyone is anxious to see what the company can produce in the post-Jobs era, but is it really realistic to expect the next iProduct within a year after Tim Cook became CEO?

Analytics dashboards for the office (Joel Spolsky)
I distinctly remember a video walkthrough where Joel Spolsky showed a crazy amazing dashboard display that he had up in his office. I can't find the video anywhere, but does anyone know what software and display he was using (or better yet, have a link to the video?).

The author still does not understand how a P&L or balance sheet works. If you are selling a business and you can show the buyer you have a $175k contract that is profitable pending, it will only add value to the business. Showing guaranteed revenue and income to a potential buyer would only make a buyer more confident in buying the business and more willing to pay more, not less.

What it seems like happened is the customer paid all or a portion of the contract in advance. As such, the business recorded an increase in cash and had a corresponding liability recorded for unearned revenue. What likely happened was this cash was used to pay expenses and/or pulled out of the business and all that was left was a liability. Thus, it wasn't the fact that he had a future $175k contract that made the business worth less, but the fact that he used the funds he had been paid with for something other than the event. Thus, the author had less cash than he should have, which the buyer deducted from the sales price.
Yes they have missed their earnings and it is true they have significant revenues.

The problem here is that the stock has been over inflated for a long time due to surpassing analyst estimates year after year due to iphone growth. Investors are realizing the real threat of android that is stealing iphone market share..

Dont forget apple has always been a niche player. Thats how they are able to sell devices with large margins. Previously they were the leader in mobile devices but this has changed. They will never attain the previous level of market share. Investors are not that confident in apple's ability to continue major innovation without steve jobs.

Therefore that means lesser earnings (relative) in the future, which means a correction in their stock price.

The stock has been artificially inflated for too long and this was bound to happen some time.
What is it with being scared of modern synthetic materials? Sure, if you have more money than sense wear the same stuff made from merino wool, but otherwise, why would you not take advantage of modern clothing technology that keeps you dry and warm? Not to mention the decrease in wind resistance, which is _the_ main factor in going fast on a bike.
There are some libertarian types scattered around the party but I don't see them connecting with the base anytime soon. Gary Johnson was a socially-liberal Republican before he switched to Libertarian after a poor showing in the primaries. Ron Paul was socially conservative on some issues but "apathetic" was a pretty good description, he spoke a lot about foreign and monetary policy and very little about issues like abortion...and on some issues, like drug policy, he was very liberal.
Even if your command made sense, quartzjer is not responsible; some spammer just added a spam issue to a legit project.

*in Chrome's search bar.

I know, it's a petty technicality. Safari says it can't open the specified address, and Firefox doesn't understand the URL. I'm even more certain IE will explode if I was to try, but I can't at the moment. From what I remember, IE can't even parse a raw IP address without explicitly putting http:// in front of it.
Thank you! This is something my bosses really helped me out with. I've been pretty lucky to have them mentor me. :)

I agree with all of that, but sadly the word 'nerd' is not clearly defined. To many it is a lifestyle choice, including some people who label themselves as nerds. If you compare, "When the Goths go marching in" (another lifestyle choice) would seem much more acceptable than "When the Aspergers go marching in" (which is closer to what you described as nerd).
There are lots of options besides a blanket per-title or per-library fee.

One possibility would be per-stream (per-view) licensing.

Another could be per registered user or percentage of revenue.

Amazon's best bet may be to include prime streaming as an incremental addition to their paid rental streaming licenses.

Lots of options, and Amazon has enough reach and enough channels to customers that I expect a smart business to be able to structure a better deal than paying 40-80 times as much for delivered customer value as a single-channel competitor.

drop.io probably started the trend. They were technical finalists at south by south west in 2007.
In Canada at least, in most retail places I go, I tend to know more about the product than the person selling it. Most recent example, cell phone service store - the guy told me the incorrect SIM card for an iPhone 4S. When I corrected him, he still insisted the incorrect one was the one I needed. I just said thank you and left.

In my experience, most people know very little about their job, and they are not interested in learning more. But they're happy to complain about their economic spot in the world and how they're not getting their fair share of the pie.
Their future hardware IP design work is effective(ly) dead. Embedded on OMAP has always been a derivative of the R&D invested for the mobile market. You can also look at the Sitara products which are respins of OMAP IPs with a few needs for embedded.

Hi all! Thanks for the great feedback. I did realize the title might have been controversial, but I have a small argument for it.

A few weeks ago, there was the 14 year old who posted their rad iPhone game on HN. Their post did inspire me to post my own work. I have a tiny hope that someone else who's doing something like I am will see this and post their own work. I doubt it, but you never know! :D

I agree, it's good to get in the habit of letting your accomplishments speak for themselves. Your work is stronger for it, and you don't feel like you've lost anything when you grow up and your age is no longer special.
Yes, this. I would love to read a post about why the OP developed this module and how he got inspired/mentored towards it, but when evaluating the usefulness of the module itself, the age mention kind of throws me off. The OP wants an honest critique, I have to fight against the inner urge that thinks: "eh, why even bring up this issue, the dev is only 15 years old and is just trying things out. Good for the OP"
And one of those doesn't appear to be open-source - it's a job working with what appears to be a closed-source static analysis tool for identifying all the open-source code in an enterprise project so that you can guard against the vulnerabilities introduced by open source. Call me a purist, but guarding against open source doesn't sound like an open source job.
If security was the real objective, there would be expansion of bomb-sniffing dogs, who are extremely effective at smelling any chemical they have been trained to.

Maybe not if you're living in an apartment in San Francisco. However, if you're in an Eastern Bloc country or India, a few hundred USD per month can radically change your life. So even abysmal returns to me would be success to someone else. When you're poor and looking at the prosperity of the West, you don't care if you break the Internet.
hey, nice project! how does this relate to drip? e.g. alternative or addition?
Good catch, nice read, with a computational angle.

Take a walk down some of the older lanes in London, say near Borough Market or back up towards Southwark, or the other side between Brick Lane and Petticoat Lane, and imagine yourself back in the 1700s.

Coffee houses, close groups having meetings, private rooms upstairs in narrow houses. The feeling that true knowledge was being passed on. The meaning people found in the processes of the primitive technology.

It strikes me that the boring bits of the decoding (tokenising the symbols, entering the tokens) could be farmed out using a web site hosting scans of texts. The computational resource could perhaps be spare cycles on a PC with an appropriate application. Scope for lay science of a particularly interesting kind, and the refinement of algorithms as they are applied to a larger corpus of texts.
