I don't know about OP's intentions, but I upvoted it because I think it might be useful to others. So many people (including me, until a few months ago) think that it's good
to "pull all-nighters", stay awake for 20-30 hours straight if you can and finish the code (some people literally cannot stay awake for more than 20 hours. I can - I routinely stayed awake for something like 40 hours in the weekdays and then would drop dead for 15 hours).

5 or 6 months ago, I recovered my senses and changed my sleeping habits and now sleep a good 8-10 hours every day and feel I'm so much more "productive" that sometimes I feel sad about the "lost time".

So, this topic might bring others who were deluded (like me) back to sanity (or I hope so)!

Have you considered separating multiline strings with a newline above and blow, with multiline strings indented, like so?

Nope. In order to rename starred places in Google Maps you apparently need to use the Google Bookmarks service on the web and manually edit the names that way -- not very intuitive considering how much they got right with the app.
Nobody can see other people's scores, so it's not a good way to indicate agreement. In fact, it's unclear as to what the purpose of voting is at all.

This whole thing is a scam , plain and simple. I'm sorry for those who invested in that kind of product , but when you deal with real VC , the business you are investing in cannot just ignore you. You meet the executives on a regular basis , you get reports , business plans , previsions , etc ... Crowdfunding simply doesnt work if the project is just barebone. Crowd funding should be the last step of a project industralisation , not the first. There was close to no code in that project , only smoke... whoever invested in that scam , i hope you learned your lesson.
PDF is a very small subset of PostScript as a programming language, centered around objects that are usually in a compressed stream. Pages, text, images, drawings, etc. are all objects and appropriately linked¹. The language itself cannot really do more than creating objects and dictionaries; no programming is left.

Embedded JavaScript is another matter, but it's not needed to be executed for parsing the document.

_____________

¹ This gives rise to interesting applications, e.g. you can remove pages or images by just removing a link in the PDF. Yet the object would then still be there. There are some PDFs out there where sensitive information is buried in unlinked objects that still exist within the file. But that's obviously besides the point.

"Implausible" might be the wrong word--my point is, you can't say some fantastic future technology we have no idea how to build is possible by saying it'll be enabled by another fantastic future technology we have no idea how to build, because that doesn't really get you any closer to the solution.

My brother and his team are a bunch of 16-17 year olds who found each other on a forum a couple years back. Over the past couple months they have built this game from scratch with their own engine and graphics. A few are in the US and a few in the UK and many have never met aside from Skype calls.

It's really exciting to see what these guys are doing and I wish them the best of luck!

Weird. Google Maps feels about 2x slower to me. Especially when turning the map.
Yeah dude, totally annihilates Apple Maps...provided you don't want to do any zany edge case actions like, oh I don't know, rename a bookmark from a random street address to an easily readable name like "Tim's House". But yeah, who would ever want to do that? Totally annihilates it. Yup.

I know a lot of people who also used flickr primarily as a backup solution. Sharing their photos with strangers on the Internet was always a secondary motivation.

This may, at least in part, explain flickr's gradual decline. In the age of cheap 3TB hard drives, 64GB SD cards, and cloud backup solutions, flickr seems a little old-hat.
I used to use his Flash tweening library, which was great. Looking forward to try this out.
McCaskill's argument that allowing iPads into the cockpit means they should be allowed in the cabin seems weak to me, for two reasons.

First, if there are instrument malfunctions in the cockpit, the crew can turn off their own wireless devices to see if they were interfering. It's much harder to get 300 people to shut off their devices in a hurry, especially when some have tucked their devices in the seatback pocket and gone to sleep.

Second, it seems entire plausible to my (non-electrical-engineer) mind that 300 devices of a large variety of makes are more likely to cause interference than just one or two, both for the combined signal and the chance that one will be badly designed.

I used to be indignant about the PED rule as well. After reading a number of online discussions on it, I'm not convinced that it's obvious that they should be allowed.
Agreed, though the newest Lion releases have had some really nice and subtle treatments in certain places. Definitely excited to see where Ive will take Apple's UI.
It does take about 30 seconds to go from a normal map view to the 3D view.

Hopefully they will enable an in-app mode in the next version.
Trend Micro Misses Point on "Bitcoin-Mining Malware"
They are not needed to parse the file. PDFs can also contain Flash content or movies or 3D models or any number of other objects. It's just a blob in the file, same as OLE. Few applications beyond Adobe Reader care about implementing those parts, though.

I can't find my paper in time, but I did some study on this and apparently many (long) studies have shown that the ideal sleep time is 6-6:30 hours a day. Any variation either way of that duration affected 3+years longevity if I remember correctly.

Of course we can scale our intelligence horizontally. We have almost seven billion of us walking around. It turns out scaling horizontally gets you a lot, too. You might be able to scale horizontally more efficiently if you had a bunch of brains-in-vats that are telepathically linked into some sort of hive mind, but probably only by constant factors.

We can also self-modify within certain limited parameters (learning, drugs, etc.), but that's the most any intelligence can do. Whether we can widen those parameters by more than a constant factor is an open question.

Question that Harvard Students Get Wrong
The in-app search widget could allow you to type in names of contacts. It doesn't at the moment. Well. It does, but it doesn't actually search for the contacts address
It's both. Both SIM and especially TPF kept slipping farther behind schedule, more over budget, and with increasingly questionable capabilities. The fundamental problem is that NASA is averse to iterative and competitive development styles, which is absolutely necessary in this case.

As a case in point, look at the JWST, which will end up costing around $10 billion (more than 1,000% over budget) and over a decade behind schedule. The TPF is easily an order of magnitude more technologically challenging than JWST and would require putting 4x as much hardware into space. If it were managed the same way as JWST it would end up costing perhaps $100 billion and not launching until 2030 or later.

One of you talks about absolute numbers, the other about % change. I don't have any numbers easily at hand but you might both be correct.
Yeah - I think it does. I do a fair bit of travelling and use maps a lot since I have the worlds worst sense of direction.

There are some places it's fine. Other places it's problematical. Other places it's a complete disaster.

The last two categories seem to outweigh the first for me. In the UK especially where basic things like searching for local train stations (we actually use public transport quite a bit here ;-) seem to fail completely in large chunks of the country.

Since my experience of Google Maps on the iPhone until the switch over was that - as long as I could get GPS and an internet connection - 100% fine the Apple maps app is a complete fail for me. I can understand that there might be reasons for it being necessary from the business perspective - but for me personally it now means I have had to have three map apps on my home screen to get around rather than just one.

I'm hoping I can switch back to Google Maps to have one thing that works.

I could rely on it totally.
a) No it wouldn't; it would be totally optional.
b) Get over it; there is no difference between this and CDNs.
People will pay for solutions to problems. Creating 'mind' is not a well-defined problem, let alone 'mind which creates minds'. No legislation is necessary to make software belong to someone. There's no reason to think that the natural, inevitable endpoint of building software is that we will be killed by robots.

And none of this has anything to do with evolution, which really entails nothing about the creation of hostile sentient robot replacements for ourselves.
It cannot. The log-on gesture is made on a completely different desktop under a completely different user account. If that worked then Microsoft would have a much more severe problem to fix.
Tested on an iPhone 4 and an iPad 3. The animated transitions are very slow, to the point where it only displays a few frames on the iPhone.

I would agree that it gives the app an unpolished feel, that and the sign in nagging. Otherwise the functionality is great.
I would love one of these for a build server indicator.

It draws subway lines on the map (in a similar way to the 'traffic' layer)
My findings:

For searching. Google Maps has a much better autocomplete all round. Faster, more readable and elegant. Once you have selected an entry then Apple Maps jumps straight there. Google Maps does this pointless move animation making it about 2-3x slower.

For panning. Apple Maps is definitely smoother and has a higher frame rate. Especially if you have traffic/hybrid mode enable in which case even on my iPhone 5 Google Maps is lagging really badly. The biggest difference is that Apple Maps shows you a checkerboard for missing tiles whilst Google Maps has a blurred image. Apple Maps also has a fade in transition for loaded tiles which is a nice touch.

For POIs. Apple Maps is showing me lots of restaurants, bars etc. Google Maps is showing me nothing. This is in both Sydney and Melbourne.

For UI. Google Maps has a much better UI with info card. Apple Maps requires you to click on a small button which goes to a separate screen with more options. I really hate the sidebar that Google implemented. It is far too difficult to click with the tiny button especially one handed. And it isn't that intuitive that the street view picture is actually a button.

Overall. Google Maps has much better street data. Apple Maps had a much smoother UI, actually showed POIs here in Australia and the inbuilt 3D view is better implemented. The 2.0 versions of both apps should be real nice.
For Poland, the biggest trending How-To question is; "how to remove Facebook"

What's unfair about price discrimination? It is endemic to real capitalism in markets all over the world, where sellers are simply exercising their right to name their price. If you don't accept the price of the service, then walk away. If you accept it, don't complain that other people got it cheaper.
I really hope this reaches the goal, I really want one of these, battery powered and all.
It wouldn't entirely eliminate the hum, but a balanced feed (note that XLR can be unbalanced as well) will reduce the EM interference and cross talk that adds to the background hum.

Another contributing factor is when power supplies to the equipment are different or "dirty". Often this can be resolved with something as simple as a multi-adapter with the earth pin disconnected (note, this shouldn't be attempted unless your hardware is already insulated. but then if you're trying to commit a crime, then an electric shock is likely preferable to life sentences in jail).
I think it was a sham either way (without legislation, there's really no reason for anyone to adhere to the requests, and as users we have little to no way of knowing if our requests are being fulfilled), but MS screwed the pooch here by completely violating the intent and implementation of the spec.

Sending "DNT: 1" in your request header means "please do not track me". Sending "DNT: 0" means "I don't care if you track me". Sending no DNT header (every request on a browser where the header is unsupported or a browser has not received a preference from a user) means "I have not expressed a tracking preference or do not have the ability to do so".

By having a default sent either way as MS did, it violates the semantic meaning of the header, meaning that the receiving server can't distinguish between "no preference" and "don't track"/"go ahead". It's like a pair of radio buttons: selecting neither is valid, but once you've made a selection you can't get it back to an unselected state.

Music & sound. Hooked up to a sound source, live music, background noise, different colours for different caller id's on a phone system, etc etc etc.
> This is leaps and bounds better than Apple Maps and even the original maps client on iOS that used Google Maps.

Thus Apple has achieved its goal of upgrading the map experience on iOS!
> We need governments that are a lot more responsive to bad policy

You say this like someone who doesn't know that everything they value the government doing, or not doing, can be cast as 'bad policy' by someone who owns a think tank.

> a much more fluid feedback system from the population

I think California's Proposition system is illustrative here. And, therefore, California's current budgetary crisis.

> Maybe this problem would be ameliorated if there were short term limits

Then the power would shift out of the hands of elected representatives and into the hands of unelected party bosses, because the elected officials wouldn't be able to develop the real-world experience needed to navigate the halls of power on their own.

*TMAScan*
TMAScan is a Matlab program that I creataed that aims to automate the
tumor diagnosis process. Once a physician selects a digitized image of a
tissue sample, certain portions are extracted and analyzed futher, and a
final score is calculated. This score is directly correlated with the
malignancy of the tumor. After extensive testing, I determined that the
program's scores had a strong correlation with those of the expert.

Yep, I have wasted my life. I'm very happy for him, don't get me wrong, but this suddenly made me very sad for myself.
As long as you buy Apple hardware, I don't think they care what default mapping software you use. I think there is a different reason why they don't have settings for this.

Really cool! Couple of comments:

1. I'm assuming you downloaded comment threads from the front page of each the subreddits you looked at and then looked at the subreddit each of the posters had commented in. How many requests did you end up making?

2. Did you hand select the subreddits you analysed? If so, what criteria were you looking for?

3. Have you thought about doing any more research into this area? I made http://redditgraphs.com/ and was looking into ways of guessing a user's age & gender based on their commenting history. I found some papers about similar sites:

twitter: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology-new/D/D11/D11-1120.pdf

blogspot: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.136...

youtube: http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrust... (This one looks the most promising; using their methods, treat subreddits as youtube videos to create more accurate profiles of communities and users. They also examine the propagation of speech patterns which capture the spread of some memes.)

Unfortunately, reddit doesn't have user profiles or name-like user names (so there isn't an easily available training set) and I was having difficulties organizing and analyzing the large amount of data I was downloading, so I put the project aside. There has been basically no research done specific to reddit (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2008&q=reddit+d...) which is surprising to me because of its size and unique subreddit system.

4. If you want to examine the spread of memes, you need access to old threads. http://stattit.com/ is the best way of getting around the reddit API's 1000 most recent post limitation.

5. Last month, a similar data set (which only looked at reddit) was collected - I think you're trying to do something different and your presention is much better, but you might be interested in the discussion: http://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/126pth/scrap...
It's certainly a great alternative for Apple's maps, which lack data in many parts of the world. It also appears to be vector maps, like Apple's, unlike Maps in iOS 5.

Some things that lack or incomplete in the meantime:

- iPad version, which is less critical, of course.
- Access to contact addresses
- Street view doesn't load high-resolution images when zoomed in.

The performance on iPhone 4S is good enough but zooming in and out is sometimes too fast and hard to do with precision.

Still, I already replaced Apple's Maps with this one of my iPhone's home screen.
See top post about this being specifically about Swedish statistics. For specifics, it was data reported by the universities themselves, calculated by the overseeing body for education, and published in Swedish news media 2011 last time I saw it.
Not 100% true: iOS Chrome bundles its own networking stack which is a differentiator (it supports SPDY for a start). They are hampered by UIWebView’s slower JS engine though.
