"... to support partners who are committed to innovating and driving business for their devices and services built on the Microsoft platform"

This announcement suggests that the new Dell will focus on devices and on services built on the Microsoft platform.
But is Dell doing this to get away from the financial reporting required of public companies or to get away from the expectations of short-term traders who want growth at all costs?
I tried that out initially (since it's simpler), but the single link on every pin on the page looked a bit ugly.
And such encryption relies on the primes that are used remaining secret.

Using any of the 'well known' primes would be a bad idea as it is easy to go through the 'well known' primes and test to see if they were used as a basis for the encryption.
You can't escape having an ideology, so no that's not the problem. The problem is with hypocritical, contradictory ideologies, e.g. your anti-ideology ideology.
Yeah. The outlook is not that great, and RC4 will definitely be better than CBC for those legacy systems in light of this discovery (http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/). At least the browsers are actively working on supporting the latest TLS and modes.
I think this CipherSuite is actually better than what you have (and Qualys seems to think so, too):

SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES128-GCM-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH

Also, I couldn't get your disabling of SSL compression to work (on Gentoo Linux), either by pasting the export line into /etc/conf.d/apache2 (at the end) or /etc/init.d/apache2 (at the top).
A Private Photos App That’s Growing: KeepSafe Crosses 1B Hidden Photos
Not wrong at all, understated if anything. The Harvard Business Review highlighted Big Data a few issues ago, and public interest groups like EPIC and the EFF are on this full time. It doesn't take much reading from those sources or the many others to see how valuable big data i.e., spying, can be. Just follow the money.
Thx for the feedback I'll make a blog post out of it.

If a site didn't let users see the content that matched their search query, Google would either not index it or would put it far into the results after the more useful links.

To avoid that, they have a deal with a number of paywalled sites called "First Click Free" that lets users who reach a site via search to access a limited number of articles through the paywall.

The only thing I would change is the overuse of bold text. When used too much, it detracts from the readability of the text as a whole more than it serves to emphasise any particular sentence fragment.
For some reason this doesn't sit well with me. We've seen the internet used for some pretty amazing charity purposes before but I feel like internet citizens have a limited interest in rallying together and doing so for its own sake will make it less likely to happen for other's sake.
Reason 6: I don't have time to steal your idea.

I'm so busy working and trying to find the time just to spend with my family, and sometimes play with a project on the side, I haven't got the time to steal your idea. Not even if your idea is the best since sliced bread.
The business of reputation management is becoming more and more challenging for regular folk, business owners and professional services providers. Site like about.me give people the opportunity to list their official profiles and places where the comments should be considered to be the true word of the author. I can't tell you how many times I have found either twitter accounts or facebook pages that are not the "official" version for a person or company. I still like the concept of saying - these site are directly connected to .me
Using English on labels is already extremely unlikely if we are talking about a country as nationalistic as, say, France. It becomes downright unthinkable in the case of Iran.

>this is not at all like gift cards

On a superficial level they seem almost identical, but I don't understand the idea behind Amazon coins well yet. What makes them so different? I've always considered gift cards a sort of currency, like the coins are.

s702: it's virtually impossible to have a discussion if you reply to comments like this, the reply button and comment threading are made just for this purpose.

I don't see anything in the FAQ or press releases that indicates amazon coins will be fungible or splittable. Do you have a source that you can gift some of your coins to other users?

I think you underestimated the pixel counts. It's hard to be precise because of the bleeding, likely due to scaling, but adding one to the pixel counts results in a much more reasonable 0.294 sales per pixel. This would indicate the special event precipitated 25 sales.
Facebook Is Said to Create Mobile Location-Tracking App
Thanks. Some great resources.
True pricing is always somewhere between cost and value. Always charging at the high end means you are always trying to capture 100% of the value created. I think that's wrong, in that the transaction is no longer a positive-sum interaction for both participants, which undermines the basis for commerce.

Regardless, there is nothing morally justifiable about charging 30% more to do less work. The autorenew system is easier not just for the customer, but for GoDaddy.

The only reason to price like that is predatory. GoDaddy is taking advantage of various asymmetries to gouge. Which is exactly how GoDaddy does everything else, so I'm entirely unsurprised.
But what exactly is good about a large number of IPOs? It will change how companies are funded, but why do you assume things will be worse? It seems to me that a somewhat more thoughtful system of investing might be a good thing.

In some sense, taking a company public is cheating because public markets are easy to manipulate, just look at the Facebook IPO (note, I'm not saying Facebook broke the law, just that they built up hype in a way that would not have been possible in private markets). Facebook didn't actually have to convince any VCs that it could turn a profit. It just had to convince VCs that it could have a successful IPO. There's a subtle, but important difference there.
I work a lot from a wonderful coffee shop in Stockport (UK). I find myself much more productive over there than at home; the change of environment clearly toggles a "brain switch". The place is big enough that owners don't mind if I hang around all day, and wifi is great (no "The Cloud" bullshit, just a fat pipe to the intertubes). Usually I end up buying coffee and water as I get there; sandwich, coffee and water at lunch; and again coffee and maybe a sweetie in the afternoon -- around £ 20 in total ($ 30), which seems to be enough, because I never got any bad word or stare from waiters, unlike in other places. I often end up bringing friends and coworkers as well, so I'd say I'm a "good" customer.

I'm not shameless enough to claim it on expenses, but I'm sure freelancers could offset most of it against taxes.
Probably because of the requirements Oracle would place on the fork to call it "Java" and give access to the TCK. They have said the only open source projects that would receive a TCK are forks of OpenJDK, but then you can't re-license it very friendly and who knows what other restrictions Oracle would put on you.

If they released the code they used to make the page, basically for the stripe and social button integration, I'd probably donate.
It's a myriad of answers. The Mlucas run used a larger FFT than was necessary, partly due to multithreading reasons. The Mlucas code also only uses SSE2 instructions, where the overclocked i7-2600K using GIMPS' Prime95 program is fully AVX capable. I would also expect that the i7 runs at a higher frequency, with a higher IPC, than the server. The "main" CUDALucas run took around 90 hours on a GTX 580. We didn't even hear about the 560 Ti run by Gilchrist, that was on the side.

The article tries to suggest that liberal-arts processing and technical thinking occupy separate hemispheres of the brain. It's an interesting rhetorical device but there's no evidence the brain is structure this way.

There is a morphological distinction between left-brain and right-brain processing, it's not as dramatic as most people think, but it has to do more with thinking styles (logical versus intuitive). There's no basis for saying that liberal arts and technical processing are sequestered in this way.

I think they have a RC helicopter manufacturer to pay off.
I do not believe I suggested he would be surrendering his shares, but rather, that he will not be taking a cash disbursement. I believe that he will take a distribution of the OpCo's (thereby stripping the HoldCo's) to be subsumed by the local NewCo, but given the complexity of the deal I wouldn't take too many guesses.

I avoided speculating on the transaction mechanics given that this is Hacker News and not FT Alphaville's Long Room - sorry if that caused confusion.
Will the FCC's free WiFi plan bridge the digital divide?
Generally speaking, yes - the spread is the cost of buying immediately.

There is no single price for a stock at any given time. There's a bid price, which is made up of unfilled buy orders, and an ask price, which is made up of unfilled sell orders. The difference between the two prices is the spread.

Imagine a stock is bid at $1.00, and offered at $1.02. If you want to buy it, you can have it for $1.02 immediately, since the ask price represents sell orders. If you want to avoid paying the spread, you could place a limit order at $1.00, hoping that someone less patient will sell to you. Alternatively, you could place a buy order at $1.01, which would make this the new market bid price. Again, your order will only be filled if someone else wishes to sell the same price.

Nice, but does it have the cojones to keep up with Microsoft and Sony?

Doubtful. I think this will be a niche console for geeks, because of one reason: Content.

It's a vicious cycle. With no content, customers won't want it, and with no customers, content creators won't create any games or apps for it.

Still, it looks very promising, I'm just unsure if developers will get content onto this thing.

You need margin breathing room for a major component cost increase, which most hardware companies don't have. Plus you want to start small, so you can minimize panel area lost to defects. When you have big margins like Apple has on iOS devices, you can afford a small hit ramping up expensive tech high high DPI displays. Prices come down over time and yields go up, so you can make larger (iPad) and larger (retina MBP) high resolution panels taking advantage of your equipment and experience making small panels.

Other companies are catching up (have caught up?), but relatively poor scaling in Windows 7 made it more difficult. Windows 8 still has the same scaling issue for desktop apps.
One last clarification: the reason to use Mlucas, and not Prime95 since it's so much faster, is for independent-code verification of the prime. (CUDALucas also counts in that regard, but the more independent triple and quadruple checks, the merrier!)
Since it's a currency conversion instead of a purchase, does this then circumvent sales tax laws when exchanging them for goods? Today it's just apps, but it could feasibly be tangible goods in the future.

I was worried about carpal tunnel so I switched to a thumb trackball as well, but then I ran into a different problem. I started noticing pain in my thumb, far worse than the pain in my wrists had been. I was losing mobility in my thumb, and it became swollen and incredibly painful to move under any circumstance. I put the trackball in a drawer and started using my Thinkpad's mouse nub, and the pain in my thumb went away (though I am still concerned about carpal tunnel).

I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, but in my experience trackballs can do just as much damage as a normal mouse, just to different joints. Now I use a trackball at home (occasional usage) and the nub when I'm working (heavier usage). The real key I've found to avoid repetitive stress injuries is to avoid repetitive movements of any kind. Seems kinda obvious now.
If there was ever a time when a company was going to be "okay" under massive amounts of debt, it's in today's interest rate climate where companies can borrow money for very little compared to previous eras.

"Why do they spy?"

One big reason they spy because there are a lot of webdevs who either have no idea or do not care about PII. Why would someone put a link on their website, to Facebook or Twitter for example, basically giving them all of their extremely valuable web logs for free? These companies make big bucks from those unnecessary "live links" and go to great lengths to avoid questions about why they "need" to be live (and they don't).
What I want is an OS-level autocorrect like vim's abbreviations. I'm getting used to not having to care about making typos because they get fixed automatically.

So if I read this correctly, you're effectively trying to solve the hybrid computing problem that everyone else is working on too (and the results so far are pretty disappointing IMO).

To which I have to respond that better is often the enemy of good enough.

I'd personally rather have a relatively OK solution like OpenCL in my hands today than a currently nonexistent ideal solution at some vague point in the future. Smart programmers will overcome hardware limitations all on their own and dumb programmers will trip you up no matter how much you rabbit-proof their fences IMO.

You might underestimate the time required to really understand a new language and be as productive in it as you would with something you have used routinely for years. Bare in mind it is not just the language but the whole ecosystem and also that some programmers can adapt to new languages better than others.

From a business point of view you are likely looking at a considerable time sink on an existing developer, or possibly hiring an extra one.

This to develop for a platform with ~1% market share does not necessarily look like a great investment.

Javascript on the desktop allows you to take a bunch of the code that you may have already written for the web or for Metro or for phonegap , add GTK stuff for desktop integration and call it good.
Here's the FAQ straight from the docs:

Why does YCM demand such a recent version of Vim? ~

During YCM's development several show-stopper bugs where encountered in Vim.
Those needed to be fixed upstream (and were). A few months after those bugs
were fixed, Vim trunk landed the 'pyeval()' function which improved YCM
performance even more since less time was spent serializing and deserializing
data between Vim and the embedded Python interpreter. A few critical bugfixes
for 'pyeval()' landed in Vim 7.3.584 (and a few commits before that).
While Mersenne primes make breaking discrete logs easier over prime fields, they're pretty OK to use as underlying field on elliptic curve groups (cf. p521).
It will not necessarily be a larger prime. But it will always be divisible by a larger prime. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclids_theorem
(Though not necessarily the next largest prime).

The problem with this approach is that the product of the first n primes grows exponentially as the number of primes increases.
Amazon is too tasty piece for IRS. Where smaller merchants could get away with, AMZN is always under microscope.
"I want to see developers who are experts in IDea, emacs, vim, etc. face off..."

What makes you think they're mutually exclusive? For years I've ran Emacs and IntelliJ IDEA both configured to "synch files on change (on disk)" so that I could be synched between Emacs and IDEA. Both were (and still are) always open simultaneously.

Now in Eclipse you can use eclim which either turns Eclipse in server-mode or which allos to use vim as the text editor right in the middle of Eclipse.

There's also emacs-eclim: it's not as advanced but it has the merit to show that there's hope and light at the end of the tunnel.

Thing is: anyone efficient enough with vim/Emacs shall never find the "text editor" part of any idea to come anywhere close to vim/Emacs.

I need to remotely debug code? One shortcut and I'm under IntelliJ IDEA.

I need to efficiently edit files containting text, like source code files, one shortcut and I'm under Emacs...

I hope one day people writing IDEs will realize that no-one has ever written an IDE with a "text editor" that could match vim/Emacs and hence decide, from the start, to make the text editor pluggable.
They give the date to the nearest second but neglect to mention the year...
Linux Today use Microsoft SQL Server
Yes, pretty much. The company is going private, and though the board and shareholders have to approve the sale, they can do so without your explicit approval, of course, just a majority (hence the bump in valuation of 25%). So those shares are no good after the deal closes, because the public company you have shares in just ceased to exist as a public company. Your return on investment is the per-share purchase price times the number of shares you hold.

This is the same thing that would happen in an all-stock transaction: let's say you own shares in Ford, and General Motors announces a buyout of Ford. The end-result is that you now own some percentage of GM, since Ford is now part of GM. Poof: your Ford shares convert to some equivalent number of GM shares. Do you cease to own Ford? Well, kind of, since Ford just ceased to exist. So there's nothing to "hold on to" in the sense you're implying.
