In practice Intel had to develop an ARM emulator for x86 to even stand a chance in the Android market, because so many apps use native ARM code and they have no reason to so much as recompile.
I don't particularly like "infinity scrolling", as you call it. I like it less than "infinity 'Next page' buttons" as I call them now. Why would you think it is "ridiculous" that Google not offer this? I think that's an interesting/polarizing/dramatic way of putting it. I'm curious as to why you clearly believe this to be a clearly superior/better way than what it's been for so long.

That being said, it's interesting that I actually like it for the image page. I can't explain it - maybe it's just a "Well, for 15+ years I've used search this way" thing.
The return is potentially infinite, since they can say "we have every single criminal conversation ever in digital space recorded".
edit: conversations primarily by American Citizens.
The most plausible reason I've seen was (I believe) in 'don't make me think' -
The ideal search engine would return one result - exactly what you're looking for. If google isn't consistently return the relevant result in the top 10, it's already failed as a search engine.
Research has shown that(iirc) <10% of users go past the first page of results, and over half of clicks are on the top 5 entries.

he also states that an original reason was in order to optimize for speed rather than # of results, since people tend to modify keywords and research far more frequently than visiting the second page.

Perhaps they know something along these lines:

So if there is no GSM in the future, will there be SIM cards? I personally like GSM over CDMA just because I can swap out the SIM card with out dealing with the carrier.
This doesn't work because there are conflicting rules out there about what a password should look like. Less than X chars, more than X chars, must contain certain chars, must'n contain certain chars...

I understand he's a kernel developer but to me this sounds exactly the same as people who kept repeating, since years:

"Don't create a ramdisk (a true, fixed size, one, that you prevent from ever getting to disk) because the (Linux) kernel is so good and so sentient that you won't gain anything by doing that"

Yet anyone compiling from scratch big projects made of thousands of source file know that it's much faster to write the compiled files to the ramdisk.

I can't tell how many times I've seen this argument between "pro 'kernel is sentient'" and "pro 'compile into a real ramdisk'" but I can tell you that, by experience (and it's hard to beat that), the ramdisk Just Works [TM] faster than the 'sentient kernel'.

So how is it different this time?

Not sure, but I'd guess something like 'www' would be near the top -- unless Google do something smart with that.

Looks like 'www' gets 'About 25,270,000,000 results', so there's a good starting point, or a good indicator of the limit of what Google will display.

I use Google because the search results a much better.

However, in terms of UX, I personally feel that scrolling though an endless stream of results is much nicer than having them split up in groups of ten. I find it much nice to be uninterrupted when I'm trying to quickly scan through a ton of search results.
This is neither here nor there, but it strikes me as interesting that the most efficient energy management in a home is just ensuring that your interior environment stays stable and isolated from the exterior as much as possible.
Yes, read flatly this advice is borderline egoism, but it can be read in a more useful way if some ideas are added.

You shall not want to do something that you would not want others to be allowed to do. (Eg: you cannot want to kill people for fun in the streets. That's a Kantian principle, IIRC)

You should better have a long-term perspective on what you want to do, and why. If you are tooth ache, your primary self probably do not "want" to go to dentist, but your reasonable self tells you that you have to do it, even without any immediate wishes to go.

Even if you were Xi Jinping or Obama, you cannot control everything you wish to control. The stoistic advice works here: you should do all you can to prepare yourself a nice cruise (or life), but once on the boat, you can't help if you are caught in a storm and should better shut up than complain.

An example is marriage+kids: you should probably jump carefully on this little boat, but once in, better eat your hat than jump overboard at the first annoyance.
> Why would you downgrade to such an old version?

My phone broke mid-contract (but out of warranty) and while there are a lot of very affordable Android phones, none of them are running anything resembling a recent version of Android. It's not really comparable to running iOS 4 on an iPhone 3GS, as my phone is brand new and was only released a few months ago.
Also makes me think we should be using AES256 at a minimum with SSL and not AES128 anymore.

With AESNI acceleration available on most servers, there is little penalty to upgrade.

They say AES128 is safe until about 2030 but who knows if that took into account super-GPU clusters.

Please note that this "anti-freedom crowd" is also heavily supported by the major telecom corporations from the US and Europe, and the predominantly American copyright lobby also likes to join in the fun.

Yes, Western corporations are siding with repressive regimes against their own people and government. I can't think of a better argument to eradicate corporatism.
Why would we want to do this from iOS? When I want to print something, I use a proper computer that can connect to a printer with the vendor's driver.

Point of note: the pinch-to-zoom failure to wrap text to the viewport is also a feature of some Apple apps -- notably Pages, which is very pretty on the iPhone but fundamentally Not Fit For Purpose as a word processor on those devices, unless you habitually write text in a column 5cm wide.

Pages is fine on the iPad's larger screen, which can scale to display a US letter or A4 page reasonably clearly.

I suspect the root of the problem is a misplaced prioritization of presentation over content. Probably the right thing to do with graphics, but a really bad idea when handling text-based documents.
This is clearly a good prez to look at. Wo do you think is adressing these points in the space? Apigee? Webshell?
Ah, that would make more sense, thanks for pointing that out. Although it's sad that "we" went for expensive Mp3 again when we had a chance to change it. And by "we" I mean chrome. Firefox held a strong stance for quite some time, but had to cave in eventually.

Best quote:

>> RT: It seems that the public is divided between those, who think that the government surveillance program violates their civil liberties, and those who say, 'I've nothing to hide. So, why should I care?' What do you say to those who think that it shouldn't concern them.?

>> WB: The problem is if they think they are not doing anything that’s wrong, they don’t get to define that. The central government does, the central government defines what is right and wrong and whether or not they target you. So, it’s not up to the individuals. Even if they think they aren't doing something wrong, if their position on something is against what the administration has, then they could easily become a target.
Not exactly.

To send from a different 'From' in Mail.app, first you need to connect your iPhone to additional email accounts (Settings->Mail). Then these addresses will show up in your 'From' drop down.

But then you end up with multiple inboxes in your Mail.app. Which is messy, fills up storage, and hurts my brain -- since I never need to check my other inboxes (because all my email addresses forward to the same Gmail account).

With the Gmail iPhone app, I just need to prove once (in gmail.com) that I have access to whatever 'From' addresss I want. Then I can select them in the Gmail app.

Note: I admit that the viewport issues discussed in the blog post are indeed an annoyance that I hope Google fixes soon. But I prefer Gmail app to Mail.app nonetheless.

I'm not an American, but I guess rules can be mended and solutions found in a country where 1.1 trillion USD can just "vanish" (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/729997/posts).

Also, I've commented on the NSA probably intercepting on the people in command immediately after the Petraus affair hit the media (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4767644), but I had hopes that they would stop at those people.

FinTech Innovation Lab: December 19th deadline
There are huge numbers of USEFUL applications that don't exist, because Apple is ruled by fear. With no developer access to the dock port, a crippled Bluetooth stack, no way for developers to sync data with a counterpart app on the computer (without some hokey wireless or Internet-based workaround), no user-accessible file system... It's no wonder that the vast majority of apps are useless gimmicks or games.

Gmail app, both iOS and Android is full of fail. Too much "clean design" - aka, flat featureless grey on white boxes with icons that mean very little. I hate this new 'minimal' design craze.
This is something I've been thinking a lot about lately.

In the employer/employee relationship, I think the balance of power has tipped too far towards the employer. I'm supposed to show up at their office for eight hours a day, five days a week, fighting serious traffic both ways, which saps a lot of my energy. Leaving for any reason other than lunch is frowned on. I won't have any control over other people interrupting me and making noise. I'm left with no choice but to structure my entire life around the job. I'm more than willing to work hard, but that's too much to ask.

By working at home, I can take a nap when I'm feeling unmotivated, take two hours off on a nice afternoon to walk my dog and then make up the hours later when the sun has gone down, be at home to meet the repair man, and so on. My quality of life goes up by a lot. This is so important to me that I'm willing to take a serious pay cut to get it.

My experience is that working for a company that merely allows remote workers isn't enough. If the majority of the company works in a central office, you are at a constant disadvantage. It's not that your coworkers are conspiring against you, they just aren't going to include you in every hallway meeting that you might have otherwise participated in. So if you want to be a full-fledged team member in good standing, but still work remotely, you almost have to work for a company that is 100 percent remote.

I am fortunate enough to have just such a job, right now, working on iOS apps. Boy, do I ever love it. I can only hope that it continues to work out for me, for a long time to come.
A few reasons for me:

* Serendipity of content. I follow a stack of interesting folk. They tweet about interesting stuff. If I have some downtime that I want to fill with something interesting to read I can find something (NOTE: this does not mean I go to twitter every time I have a quiet time. I like quiet time. I have books and shit too ;-)

* Serendipity of people. I've met people in RL via twitter. Folk have come up to me at conferences and events and said "Hi - I follow you on twitter". I've done the reverse. It's been a great ice breaker in meeting new people. For me Facebook is something for the people I already know. Twitter is something that has let me meet new people.

* It's got me work. I talk about the stuff I'm passionate about. People see that passion and start a conversation.

* You can fit a surprising amount into 140 characters. In fact the discipline of getting useful info into 140 characters is a great one to acquire. It's a crash course in headline/lede writing.

* It's a place to talk to some of my friends. I live in a fairly rural area of the UK at the moment. A bunch of my "real" friends are not local. The ones who are not on facebook, or email, tend to be on twitter.

[Edit: Oh yes. One more. Access to smart people. For example a couple of weeks back I couldn't remember the term "Reification". Took my twitter followers about ten minutes to go from my dumb "What's that word for things that aren't things (e.g. the Economy)" to "Reification Fallacy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reification_(fallacy) which was what I was trying to remember]
Sure, the simple characters make it a bit easier, but the phrases tend to be much longer.

The error rate on a touchscreen keyboard is high enough to really become a problem at 20+ characters when you only see the last typed character (no password review).
Recently I was thinking about alternative ways of implementing authorization security and I had, maybe a silly, idea - wouldn't it be more secure to always log user in and when given a wrong password, "simulate" (generate) account data? In my opinion it would be much harder to write an algorithm detecting if account data is real or not, and isn't the point of cracking to get access to user data?

The only information this article is communicating is that GSM uses TDMA and that there are two other standards (IS54 and IS136, which they don't tell us what they are about) use them too.

The comparison that TDMA is a processor and GSM is an operating system is bad, too.

A really, really bad article.
"Multithreaded code is a particular kind of parallelism"

No.

Parallelism implies that there are multiple CPUs and/or multiple cores at work (or in older use of "parallelism", at least some instructions that are parallelized).

Multithreading doesn't imply that at all: you can have a multi-threaded program (like, say, a Java program using multiple threads + its GC thread, EDT thread, etc.) running on a single-machine using on CPU which has a single core and which doesn't do any kind of parallelism.

To me you're totally wrong in saying that multithreaded code is a particular kind of parallelism.

Multithreading doesn't imply parallelism.
I think the assumption is "there's no one making hundreds of thousands but these people", but I'm willing to be there's plenty of people making a living from apps on the app store. Maybe not as good as they could make taking a corporate wage, but probably more satisfying.
They cite some obscure standards noone knows instead of saying "ISDN and DSL use it too!". Who gave points to that crap article?
Is it pure Go, or are they offloading the more demanding computations to external libraries written in other languages, like people tend to do with Python?
My favourite technology for memorizing vocabulary is definitely memrise[1]. It actually combines a lot of these things together so it becomes more than just a flashcard site, it has a wiki-like community format so people can add 'meme'-based mnemonics, usage examples, etc. Really smart stuff.

So, essentially the iOS / Android ecosystem is the same as the website ecosystem in early 2000s, and FaceBook app ecosystem in late 2000s. Digital agencies building apps for big companies' marketing purposes.

I wonder how sustainable that is. How many of these apps actually generate any kind of customer interest?

What are the so-called "substantial losses" that you are talking about? May be you have some insider info that I don't but in my intimate conversations with dozens of fellow YC founders, I haven't run into anyone who wished they didn't do YC. I don't think you are being evil here but rather just have a belief that isn't based in reality.

Same thing for suggesting YC is all about freshly minted grads. A significant percentage of founders are in their late 20s and older making that assumption of yours inaccurate.

Frankly your post is offensive for painting founders as brainwashed dudes making terrible life decisions as they go about joining this imaginary cult. Do you really believe this?

Google Apps on my Android always were always one of the worst.

Google Maps - resource hungry, always doing something in the background, slow .. replaced them with much better, unfortunately local, alternative

Google Play - two examples: doesn't prevent phone from losing network so I have to play with the phone in order to download updates; listing my applications always takes about half a minute.. even if I did the same task 5 seconds ago

Google+ - basically unusable, unbearably slow, doing stuff in background all the time, crashed whole system few times

The truth is I don't have the most modern phone, but it isn't the slowest either (it's single core 900MHz w/ 512MB ram). It's running on the latest available android for that device (the device was sold less then a year ago, it's from 2010). Can't imagine how those apps run on older/slower phones.

Side note: Another multi-billion dollar company that can't seem to produce working android application is facebook. That is the single worst application that I have ever used (some were worse (google+), but I can't really talk about "usage" with them). It's getting slowly better, but it's still a crap. Twitter on the other hand is great.
API is not a feature, it's a blood and air of the business. Why it's even considered situation when a large public business doesn't provide some API?

I wonder if Steve Jobs came to regret the famously ambivalent attitude Apple had to gaming on the Mac?

There's a great scene in the (generally great) BBC dramatization of Sinclair vs Acorn in the 80s, where Acorn are disappointed that all the games are being made for the Spectrum, meanwhile Sinclair is annoyed that his amazing machine is being reduced to a games console.

The greatest achievement of the iPhone (despite it's many amazing feats) appears to have been producing a socially acceptable Gameboy, just as Sony managed to associate the Playstation brand with nightclubbing and other grown-up pursuits in the early 90s to great success.
Here is a Google image of my search engine (I used Bing API at the time) displaying the results for "Obama": http://www.google.com/imgres?q=tomorrowbook.com&um=1&...

As you will immediately notice FB, Twitter, Whitehouse.gov, barackobama.com are repeated 3-4 times each, and this is only the 1st 30 results you could continue scrolling down infinitely and you are bound to see the repeat again and again.

My point was user feedback complained of repeated results on my search engine. Users generally thought my results were lower quality than Bing/Google despite being identical depending on the API I was using. Further, I believe a lot of this has to do with Google/Bing users being unable to see a large number of results on the 1st page.

Because going between any two languages is a separate task. Unless you have a universal language that contains every linguistic feature everywhere and can achieve lossless transition, using X->Y and X->Z to make Y->Z will introduce an unacceptable level of error. English is not a universal language.
It's worth pointing out that length is not important, only entropy is important. If you create a really long phrase by forming a sentence from very common English words, the entropy is actually really low, and if everyone started doing this you can bet your boots the password crackers would catch up.

However you create your password you should take a stab at calculating the entropy (and incidentally a 10 character truly random password with alphanumeric+specials will be very hard to crack - it's the fact that the passwords are mutations of a seed word that makes them weak, and not their short length)
