Convert Personal Videos for iPhone 5
Succeeding the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 has been available on market for nearly one month since its first landing in nine countries on Sep. 21. This touchscreen-based smart phone developed by Apple grasps 2 million orders within 24 hours it accepts pre-orders beginning on 14th that month. Escalating into a slimmer, thinner and lighter model that features 4-inch high resolution display of 1136*630, iPhone 5 is the first one of its series to support a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, which definitely enhances the visual experience to a higher level. If you have one in your hand, you probably can take a deeper look at this improved display, say, take one of your HD videos onto that screen. DVDFab Video Converter can help you with that process. Check this tutorial out below.
IANAL, but I don't think it would in this case. Insider trading generally applies to using private information held by the company. But in this case what you're looking for is information from the CRO or FDA.
>I have a hard time imagining a more better apology from Instagram.

I don't. This message from on high wasn't particularly bad for a startup, but there are plenty of internet "lifestyle businesses" that can communicate with their user base much much better. The guys who accidentally turn their hobby projects into a small, sustainable business for themselves talk to their userbase with a level of candidness that you'll never see from startup guys, so don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining.

I can imagine a better explanation from instagam easily. It wouldn't start with "Legal documents are easy to misinterpret", it would start with "It's no secret that lawyers will write contract terms as strongly in our favor as possible in a general cover-your-ass measure. Even though we don't plan to do the thing you're all so pissed off about, we sure had them write the terms in a way that gives us room to change our minds in future and actually do most of what you are worried about."

Actually, I guess I can't imagine that. They don't have the balls to admit that. They did the standard lawyer-over-the-shoulder thing of calling it all this big misunderstanding, and we really should have just trusted them to be more benevolent all along.

You will discover a wealth of wisdom when you get the answer to this question: "Don't they get it?"

Of all the things I have chosen to do in my life, by far the most challenging has been raising kids. I cannot tell you how many times I wished I had some super power like telepathy to convey a concept directly into their brains because words just weren't cutting it. The whole idea of taking the locus of control and bringing it inside (love that btw) is what I wanted to teach, and sometimes it gets lost in the "You could make this happen, why don't you?!" Your kids have to be confident enough to know that their failures aren't a reflection on their worth, but not so confident that they push the failure outside and into a place where they can deny an ability to change it.

Once it 'clicks' the world changes, before it clicks you're adrift in the white water rapids of life. Once you 'get it' you realize you don't have to stop the river you just have to exert the necessary force to navigate around the hazards, before that all you can think is that "nothing can stop this river, its going to kill me!"

I haven't a freakin' clue how to teach that.
>>Read - this guy was not only studying something with a very questionable market value

One thing that a person must almost remember before doing anything(apart from recreational and entertainment stuff) is to immediately question the 'worth' of what he/she is doing.

So it goes like this. A couple of days back my manager spots a architect during lunch and starts talking about how great the architect is. The conversation over the lunch table descends down to my manager just showering praise on the architect about how much the architect knows. It went on for like 20 minutes and then at the end I just asked him- 'So, what is all that worth?', and then there was like dead silence after that.

Most of the problems exists because people do not understand how much they know or how intelligent they are is irrelevant to people around them. If you are wondering why the cab driver who drives you back home, or the guy who sells candy in the subway is financially worth more than you. You still haven't figured the mere basic fundamentals of the demand-supply problem. You have to sell/do/provide some product/activity/service which people need. It can be painful for you to know while you can architect a complex system, a intern who just arrived can make more money by selling a simple game on the android market.

Add to this class problems. People have a difficult time digesting that a cab drivers kid can go get a engineering degree while a clerk's kid can't. You also have to be ready to do something small time, or things that don't attract respect or jobs that don't command much self respect.

And lastly. Please save money, that's important. Theory say you can earn endless money. But if you are from the middle class, face the hard fact now. There is only X amount of money you will ever earn. So learning how to get rid of debts, savings and investments are crucial for your financial well being. If you are in financial mess because you have badly managed money- You can blame nobody else.

I like Celluloid. But what I'd like to see is the dissection of workload patterns and paradigms applicable to those patterns. You can be,

1. CPU bound - fork, it is cheap in unix
2. IO bound - write evented code
3. CPU & IO bound - use a mix of the above approaches.

FTC Investigating Nine Companies The Sell Your Information
#2 massively ignores the fact they didn't bother to solve the problem until much much later. In fact, everyone else solved it the same way as Microsoft before then even on Unix. Actually, a bunch of Unix guys were involved in the design of UCS-2 and UTF-16 so I'm not sure why it's Microsoft's fault.

But yes, some Unix guys eventually faced with a bigger problem, significantly more time, and a design already started by the Unicode Consortium eventually solved it better. But that's not really much of an argument.

Also arguing that there is no risk going to UTF-8 is ridiculous. Anything that treats UTF-8 as ASCII, as you suggest, is going to do it wrong in some way. At least making a new API forced developers to think about the issue.

Conceptually, logistic regression is a simple neural network. A neural network with no hidden layers and a softmax output layer using cross-entropy loss is precisely equivalent to logistic regression. Though, if you were to extend your suggestion of logistic regression to include its locally-weighted variants, I'd gladly support your cause.
"you acknowledge we may not always identify paid services, sponsored content, and commercial communications"

Translation: You accept that we may try to trick you.

I'm an intellectual property lawyer and I think the intent behind the above language is quite clear. It is not aimed at alleviating an undue burden of identifying commercial content (as Instagram might suggest), it's about reducing transparency to allow for marketing tactics that would not likely be viewed favorably if they were obvious to the user. While under no legal obligation to do so, Google has been identifying sponsored content for over a decade. If we were to begin by looking at "standard practice" then we might start there.

I think it's great that people are reading TOS from web companies and making their concerns known. We might call this negotiation. If you accept that idea, then I think users are in an excellent bargaining position. They can walk away at any time. They can adapt and they can find new alternatives. These companies however may not be able to find new audiences so easily. I believe they will take the feedback very seriously and respond, with new language if necessary.

I'm noticing some of my friends on Facebook who were using it extensively for one purpose or another are now closing their accounts. Other friends of mine cannot use Facebook because of their employers. It seems clear to me there are both costs and benefits to using Facebook or Instagram and that sometimes the costs may outweigh the benefits.

Keep reading TOS. It is good for the web.
I think programming will be more accessible if there is sub $100 hardware that allows a person to program it out of the box. Apps that make programming more accessible need to run on something and the entry price to programming is not as cheap as it was.

I don't get the 100tb.com model. Checking out their website, I see:

Intel E3-12303.2 GHz8GB2 x 1TB100 TB$201.15
1Gbit Dedicated Port

So, for $200/month, they'll give me 100 Terabytes/bandwidth on this server.

250 megabit/second at 30 days in terabytes = 81 Terabytes. A decently peered/connected Pipe costs, at this volume, around $5-$7/megabit @95th, or $1250.month.

So either:

A) Their connectivity isn't hot.
B) If you actually use that 100 Terabytes per server,
they start to curtail/rate limit/traffic shape you.
C) Some other option I haven't considered? Maybe they
just rely on the vast majority of their customers not
using that bandwidth, and subsidizing (significantly)
those that do?

blantonl, appreciate any insight you can provide - sounds like you've got great control over your environment. From the sounds of it, 100tb.com provides bandwidth @$0.33/megabit.
Easy, but a lot higher-risk. It takes money, resources, and connections to actually do big things, and past wins improve your execution ability and chances of success.

But prescient market timing greatly skews the odds in your favor and gives you a huge edge too -- I think that's apparent in all the startup successes that started off with a small hand.
No, I would say you have to super dumb if you 'chose' to study something that doesn't have much value or doesn't pay well. Its your life and you have to make smart decisions. Its not a game, where you can just shrug it off as a mistake, blame the government and then expect something miraculous to happen.

Looking back, I can tell you about my own experiences here in India. When I opted to study engineering and before that science for my pre-university college, there were a lot of friends of mine who wanted to study history or commerce because it was 'easy'. Really, you have whole life to live on that and you take a wrong decision just because you want it easy for the next 4 years?

Now after 4-5 years when we were all looking for jobs, the very same people who consciously studied history and commerce complained that either had no jobs or jobs that payed very poorly. Most of them either ended either being clerks(where their jobs are constantly threatened by automation) or working at call enters. And again you see the same government blaming. How can the government or people around you help if you make wrong decisions all over the years?

And not surprisingly it turns out most of such people are generally the kind of guys who don't very hard and are always looking for short cuts. One fine day you suddenly wake up and realize its not that easy after all.

"Build time" means "generation time", or "compile time". It's the amount of time it takes Jekyll to build the site from the source to the static HTML, etc. Right now, it's really slow. If you have over 100 posts, it practically warrants a coffee break. We have some developed some ideas about fixing this issue.
Why would you want to pay for people to come to your site? Don't you have to pay Amazon for that bandwidth usage?
Exactly what part of "you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your ... photos (along with any associated metadata), ... without any compensation to you" is "confusing"?

It is not complicated legalese; on the contrary it is admirably terse and lucid English. The reason that "it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation" is because that is EXACTLY what it says they will do.

Unambiguous. Not confusing. What's confusing is that Kevin Systrom now claims it does not say what it very clearly and unambiguously says.

Just because you agree to a thing doesn't mean you like it. When enough people have been sufficiently pissed off about an issue, you get demonstrations, riots, and all sorts of mass protests about The State Of That Thing We Don't Want/Like.

I'd really like to see internet protests driving some actual worthwhile changes, not least because on the whole they're a lot less destructive than an actual riot[1]

As developers, instagram can do absolutely anything (legal) they like with their app, and we should totally support them in that.

As a business, they're somewhat beholden to their customers to either do things the customers want (and not hte things the customers don't want), or find a new set of customers.
Otherwise, they stop being a business.

[1] except maybe CloudFlare ends up with a slightly higher bandwidth bill for the DDOS.
It depends on how instagram implements this policy, they need a policy that gives them enough flexibility to try new things and find out what will stick. It's too early to start a kill your instagram campaign. Why not wait and see how they implement this.
Remember all wage comparisons over time are basically useless unless you are comparing total compensation. You have huge costs that change over time such as federal employment taxes, unemployment insurance, workman's comp, 401k, and especially health insurance. These all eat into a persons hourly wage.

Perhaps Americans can take some cues from more collectivist, family oriented cultures now. In my culture, sleeping on the street when your sister has her own place and a couch would be unheard of. I don't care how imposing it would be or how small my own home is, I wouldn't let my brother sleep on the streets. And what about parents? Uncles?

I do respect the struggle and pull yourself up mentality, but that's a lot easier to do when you have an address, a safe place to sleep and a shower. We have to face the reality that there are economic factors at play here, and it's not always someone's own fault if they are down on their luck in finding work.
In that case, I highly recommend the following:

1) A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell
2) Philosophy of Language by W. G. Lycan

These two should provide you a general understanding of the field, along with some really interesting articles in language.

My recommendation would be to use Outlook.com. I am a LONG TIME Google Apps domain admin for SMBs and personal domains.
Since this announcement and my feeling of total abandonment from Google for the "small guys" I started investigating. MICROSOFT DOES THIS VERY WELL!!!. Now, that being said, it isn't exactly as polished as the Google Apps experience but the Microsoft re-work of its web mail is great. A quick search will give some good reviews. So...what is a guy to do?...well... you simply go to domains.live.com, go through the registration process. Once complete you will have access the the Admin Center. You then administrate your domain email as you would have in Google Apps. Again, it will be the current Microsoft way BUT it works well. I just did it for a photographer (yep...small business). It works perfectly. Once you register for the Admin Center, you can administrate MULTIPLE domains from YOUR one Admin Center. Also, Microsoft is MUCH more generous with the number of user accounts you can create for your domain...Up to 500 at last count. Naturally it also comes with Calendar, SkyDrive, etc. They give you all of the DNS records you need. Also, once you set it all up...if you go to Outlook.com directly and sign in with your personal domain email address/account, it will do so for you always (if you use the Microsoft DNS records for email---> like mail.yourdomain.com) Otherwise you will initially get the Hotmail interface. Again, a quick search will yield articles for changing to the NEW Outlook.com interface.

While there are advantages to both the Coursera format is asynchronous. This makes it fundamentally better able to accommodate different progress rates. Student can individually adjust course parameters to suit how they best learn.

(1) Adjustable lecture playback speed accomodates both slow and faster learners.
(2) Stop and rewind buttons allow adhoc research of unclear points in the middle of lectures as well as easy review.
(3) Short (usually 15min) lecture segments match actual attention spans.
(4) Active message boards allow quick and easy help from both staff and other students.
(5) Timing lectures and coursework is flexible. Learn better late at night - no problem.

None of these were apparent to me until I took a few Coursera classes. I suggest anyone interested in this issue take a class on Coursera (or EdX, Udacity or another platform) and see for themselves. You may learn something!
