I'd be interested to see that proof if you have scientific studies supporting it - sounds fascinating!

It's been my experience that communication quality has more to do with initial culture, growth rate, and ability to inculcate newcomers to social norms than with naming policies. Of course, the need to grow a community slowly to maintain social norms conflicts with the imperative placed on VC-funded companies to grow as fast as possible.
There's also nothing specific to Redis here.

If you are going to eventually use RubyMotion, why not just start with that?

I have been using it for about a week based on a recommendation from another HN'er and I have been extremely pleased. It is all new development, though. I am not especially good at Cocoa or Ruby, but have found it a very enjoyable experience.

I can verify his experience, every one of the products I've bought from Acer, fail in a very short life span. I've the cataloged as the worst brand around.
The video was very tongue-in-cheek, I would not characterise it as tasteless. I found it pretty funny.
That's not what I'm getting at, at all. The Python module/namespace mechanism is just fine. I'm saying that the developer community doesn't use it in a way guaranteed to keep million line codebases as neat as possible.
I believe the term you're looking for is "asocial." Anti-social implies that you're sociopathic.
I use a bank deposit site that charges me $3 to deposit funds regardless of the amount (cavirtex).

Then coinbase takes 1% to transfer money somewhere.

So for $3.99 = $3 deposit fee + 0.039c for 1% coinbase

= $3.04 or equivalent to 76% of the cost

For $29.99 = $3 deposit + 0.2999c for coinbase

= $3.30 which is equivalent to 11% of the cost

I'm just glad that the same advances in high performance computing that make smartphones possible will also bring us self-driving cars.

When people talk of peak oil, all I see is solutions to oil-as-fuel problems. What about the other industries where you still use oil? Petroleum products are practically everywhere.
In addition, she's part of a larger A/B test being run by the industry. Music producers have a nearly unlimited supply of cookie-cutter musicians who they can produce in different ways to see what works. They're expendable, so when they fail the producers can move on and the musicians can go back to playing local clubs or whatever they did to get the producers' attention in the first place. I've known several musicians who got popular in a local scene, got a "big break" and released one heavily-produced album that sounded nothing like their previous work, and then faded back into obscurity. Every now and then one of them breaks big and the producers can cash in for a few albums.
That's basically it. We've worked on this for quite a while and I reckon we could just keep going... This way we can gauge interest and prioritize teams who sign up.

And yes. I will publish results later in the week.

Few thoughts on visualizing Big Data
The oil market is international, but not immune from politics. The Saudis are currently willing to sell their oil to the US for a fair price. That isn't a situation that is guaranteed to continue, if the US digs up all their oil now they lose the future negotiating position of "screw you guys, we'll just dig up our own oil".

Agreed, especially when there is a ton of unused horizontal real estate on my screen. If you want to pin stuff, put it there. It's basically the 1024x768 browsing experience.
>I like the direction of his broader category, "distracted driving".

I understand the sentiment, but that's too broad for me. I don't like giving the police unlimited discretion in determining whether I have broken the law or not. Tell me what I can and can't do, and I'll act accordingly.

No, that's not peak oil. Peak oil is the point were we have extracted the maximum amount of oil in a given year, after that productions starts reducing - but production could continue for centuries after that.

We need to have cars that WON'T LET US use our outside tech devices when we're in the driver's seat. That kind of design functionality would HELP this problem. Also, in-dash GPS and the like, it's hurting more than it's helping IMO. 10 years ago, no one had this stuff. Look at a map people, or better yet, know where you're going!!!
wow, that was an odd read. I initially thought it was a hoax.
I can understand why they do it - diminishing the page rank of sites that give answers to questions on Stack Overflow causes Stack Overflow to gain more traffic - but it still seems kind of underhanded. They rely on others for the content of the site, so they should give credit to the producers of that content - without it, they would have no service at all.
Lets see the figures on this please.
"Autosell" is the term Mt. Gox uses as the name for the parameter in the shopping button API to sell immediately once the transaction has confirmed.

But that's the thing. Merchants are worried about the downside risk, and basically ignore that there is an upside gain possible as well. Sure, the merchant shouldn't be speculating with revenues that go to employee's salaries and inventory purchases, but if there's 10% profit, keeping 10% of revenues without converting that to USDs might be beneficial.

BitPay is a merchant processor that lets the merchant specify what percent of revenue to convert and remainder of bitcoins are paid out without conversion.
Constraints vs Restraints
Self-driving cars can't get here fast enough. How can we get them here faster?

Google folks: There are people out there willing to work for free to help self-driving cars get here faster. Make a way for them to be able to contribute (I volunteer to help push legislation in the 47 states that don't allow self-driving cars yet).
This sounds like a problem of the airlines own making, underpaying junior pilots for years.
Apple has only invested in chip design capabilities, not manufacturing. I haven't seen any indication that they're interested in fabricating their own chips. It's a fully mature commodity market, why would they?
The original command, as written, works fine. Aptitude does have an interactive mode, but when run with arguments like that, will behave approximately the same as apt-get would. Aptitude acts as a frontend to several of the slightly-lower-level apt tools.
When it comes to distracted driving, is talking to a passenger in the car any different than talking on the phone on a hands-free device? Is there something weird going on in the brain when it comes to having a conversation with someone not physically present?
Tesla was right.
I don't misplace my wallet enough to warrant an extra 3.8mm. In fact, I classify losing your wallet as a minor annoyance for most people than anything else (I've certainly never been as upset as the man in the video).

If people were really concerned about misplacing wallets, designs like these (http://i.imgur.com/FnOtD.jpg) would have taken off.
Nope. The major fix that they did was to eliminate memory leaks in extensions when the user closes a tab.
Except that if was stated there more than once, division making chips is completely separate from division making phones then chips maker won't have much to brag about.

Louis C.K. Comes Back to HBO but Doesn't Ditch the Web
Interesting idea but the rather large tracker requiring a custom wallet is a bit of a deal killer. It's not credit card sized, it's much thicker.

I suppose if you have a problem losing your wallet you may be willing to use this but since I've never lost mine or had it stolen it's not worth it to me.

The tracking red square in this video reminded me that ever since I played GR:AW and watched Macross+, I dream of a human-driven car that would give more information to the driver in the form of a full-size windshield+HUD overlaying reality with outlines and visible/hidden information. This HUD would display tangible data whether they're seen or not (i.e pedestrians crossing behind a parked van or passengers passing in front of a bus at a bus stop, or at night, roadside outlines, etc...) and intangible ones like velocity vector, stop distance, and projected trajectory, with possible collision alerts.

Although BMW has started something like this, the UI they came up with looks like this disaster of a UI[2][3][4], whose crappiness makes it a pricy toy, not a real security accessory (yet).

Can you name any comedians who do express great philosophical thinking?

Besides, it's a performance art--just reading the jokes written down is never going to be as funny.
While I'm not a Gaga fan by any means, I do have to say that her music is a notch above typical canned pop. Sure, it borrows heavily from pop idioms, but it's got an edge to it that seems unique to her, and the lyrics address themes a tad more deep than most pop music does.

Even that's subjective, of course, but at least she writes and arranges all her own music which isn't typical of factory-produced pop stars.
Yes. The passenger in the car sitting next to you senses when something tricky is happening with the driving and shuts up or otherwise calls your attention to the danger. Someone conversing with you on the phone doesn't. Kids talking to you from the back seat are also a potentially more dangerous distraction for the same reason.
Native? Web? Which will prevail? It doesn't matter.
TaskRabbit was abusing them as well. We should do our best to shame any organization that sends spam via push notifications.
No, it can't be the future because it's already the present. The future comes when something else replaces it.

That's a nice commons you've got there. It'd be a tragedy if something happened to it.

As has been extensively discussed, there are lots of drawbacks to the App Store model. But if they actually enforced limits on push notifications (or maybe even charged developers for them), it'll slow the tragedy of the commons a bit. I agree that individual users could do the same, but the marginal spammy app still has every incentive to be spammy.
No worries. Thanks for the notice.
I've been using the latest Samsung Chromebook as my primary computer for the past week.

So far, I love it. $250 for a tiny, zippy machine with great battery life that can do 99% of what I need, especially since it comes with ssh. On laptops, I usually hate every non-Macbook keyboard, but this one's keyboard is almost indistinguishable in feel from the Macbook Air's, so typing on it is a breeze.

It has some hiccups here and there, but considering that this machine hasn't even been available for a month yet, I expect those to get ironed out eventually.
Then maybe we should ban babies on cars. It isn't fair to the rest of society that he have to risk our lives because you decied to have a child.

Edit: More seriously, all four of those suggestions are very good, and I'd like to see them too. For #4, a deep link to the app's notification settings would be good enough, and probably more likely than getting a notification settings controller in UIKit.
In fairness, the TechStars model isn't quite the same model.

For instance, YC rather explicitly doesn't provide shared office spaces. The shared office space of a TechStars location is a large startup community galvanizer in the cities where TechStars has set up shop - and partially offsets the need to be in the Valley for those companies.

There's no question that TechStars is tweaking the YC model subtilely in its attempts to get global outreach. (This is a good thing, the world could use more experimentation.)

We already know Apple plans to move to TSMC in the near future, from several reports. Obviously, Samsung will know about this, too. And this is probably just a way for them to squeeze the most money out of Apple by the time that happens.

Yeah, hopefully everyone on the east code made it through the hurricane and its aftermath okay! It really gave me a perspective on communities helping each other in the local area, even when the government doesn't come in right away. I'm hoping next time around, we'll be able to have tools that enable people to come together and organize more easily. It makes me feel sorry we've taken this long to launch our stuff. Could have used it.

But more than that, of course, I'd rather there not be a next time.
I'm kinda surprised that people haven't picked up on that bit and asked questions. You'd have thought hackers would be interested in that bit :-)

I dunno about his music analogies as I can't say I "get them" at all as I really don't get music, I never even tried to play an instrument and I'm mostly "tone deaf" and for me music is something that I just "viscerally" like or dislike, I don't even try to understand it...

That is exactly how a large proportion of people feels about programming. "I don't know about programming; I can't say that I "get it"; I've never tried to write code [...] programs are things that I just "viscerally" like or dislike."

I think that there is definitely room for study here. What sorts of things do music instructors, for example, know about keeping beginner students motivated enough to keep practicing? Can we bring over some of those ideas to programming instruction?
I'm really not sure, so please don't shoot me if I'm wrong. I'd be happy to learn more/be proven wrong.

I think the redis-store cache in rails also uses a rack middleware, and supports setting ttl on keys which will auto-expire on redis...?

The one that's been killing me lately are the notifications from the new He-Man game for iPhone. I have yet to figure out how to turn off push notifications for this app, it's not in the in-game settings or in the Settings app and I know I never enabled them in any dialogs. I just randomly get random messages about how I'm not doing a good enough job saving Eternia. If I can't figure this out soon the game is gone.

Isn't this the kind of abuse that the app store approval process should be addressing? If notifications are supported, then they should be required to be configurable in the Settings app, no exceptions.
Being fairly absent minded, I've been intrigued by this and similar concepts. I tried Bikn for a while, and I liked the general idea, but the phone case was bulky, prevented use of the standard iPhone adapter, and stopped working after a few months. Eventually someone will get this right, though, and I'll be first in line. (If I can remember where the line is... ;))
Depends on the nature of the phone call or text message...
Great article but I'm confused about this bit: "Jesse McReynolds, a graduate of Caltech, had finished coding a low-level network library to send IPX packets over a local-area network. The code was written based on knowledge gleaned from the source code to Quake, which had been recently open-sourced by John Carmack at id software."

Warcraft was released in 1994. Quake in 1996. Quake's code was released under the GPL in 1999. So code was Jesse McReynolds cribbing from?
This is an interesting reality. I know that some of the SO guys frequent HN. I wonder if we'll see a valid response.

The only possible reason I could see is spam avoidance.
It's interesting. Doesn't mean it's worthy of being put in production code.
The point is that this kind of notification spam causes users to do just that, and it's having a negative impact on apps that use push notifications appropriately.
In the very least, hopefully the hands-free devices will act to discriminate against those without the setup.

So while the problem isn't totally solved, it at least requires extra effort to remain legal.
I have seen (although I can't remember where so this might not be worth much) that the freequency clipping cell phones do for compression can make it harder for you to processes what you're being told on a phone.

Put a better way, cell carriers clip the upper and lower ranges of the audible spectrum. While your voice won't get completely cut, sometimes you lose information the brain uses to process language. Without this, you need to work harder to understand what you're being told than you would if you were talking to someone next to you.
the reason for a high rate of divorce is: Lazyness

Do you feel the same could be said about non-marriage relationships that end? As someone who is married, I see absolutely no difference between getting divorced now and breaking up with a partner before getting married.
Isn't that the point of the OP?

Apps that are increasingly abusing push notifications means that users are increasingly just choosing "Don't Allow" even when push notifications are a key part of a non-spammy app, because they're wary of later being spammed.
The right solution is to have every single push notification have a "Silence this" link on it. That takes you to a screen naming the app and asking if you want to turn off its ability to do push notifications. This fact is tracked across users.

Add a warning from Apple that any app that is turned off by too many people will be deemed to be too spammy, and taken out of the app store.

This would completely solve the problem. In the absence of any such mechanism, all incentives point towards continued abuse of the feature.
Why We Should Worry About Big Data
Same is also true for facebook notifications. I recently got a notification that said "Blabla has given you a free movie on Flixster." Now, I am actually down to try a service that gives me a free movie rental. But because of my past experience with fb notifications, I immediately hit 'Ignore' thinking it was another gimmicky spam.

Facebook has focused so much at Games that I think it will begin to hurt them when more well-known businesses in other categories try to use their platform to distribute offers.
If I had a dollar for every soccer-mom in an SUV or minivan that was oblivious to the world as she cut me off, I'd be rich.

Not to mention that even when my life isn't jeopardized, these same yappers are the ones most likely to hold up traffic (like by going -5 in the "passing" lane for miles on end) or something else equally moronic.
So does this track your wallet or not? Or does it just beep/take a snap shot of when the separation happens?

If someone takes my wallet or I left my wallet in a moving vehicle (ie: taxi) - there's zero chance to track it since it's on the move?
