Not for smartphones.

https://www.eff.org/cases/2012-dmca-rulemaking

In the 2012 rulemaking, EFF asked the Copyright Office to protect the "jailbreaking" of smartphones, electronic tablets, and video game consoles – liberating them to run operating systems and applications from any source, not just those approved by the manufacturer. EFF also asked for legal protections for artists and critics who use excerpts from DVDs or downloading services to create new, remixed works. These exemptions build on and expand exemptions that EFF won in the 2009 rulemaking proceeding for jailbreakers and remix artists.

In October 2012, the Copyright Office renewed the exemption for smartphones in their final rulemaking, but did not extend it to other devices. The Copyright Office also reaffirmed the exemption for video remix, and expanded it to allow use of clips from online services.
It also allows them to offload a lot of the processing to the client, and not have to worry about infrastructure to deal with cropping, resizing, etc.
It's a great idea but that big stack of copper coils has got to weigh the copter down and likely reduce the fly time significantly.

It's best to keep those kind of developers isolated to the web, and away from important, widely-used software projects like GNOME. I think a lot of the problems with GNOME 3 were due to web developers and designers getting involved, bringing in some dumb philosophies, and making decisions that were quite terrible.

Things were much better when it was C programmers doing the bulk of GNOME's design and implementation.
> A bunch of differences, but the big one is that we're 100% open source. No crippled-unless-you-pay business model here, personally I find those irritating.

Vanilla is too, they just charge if you host with them and want customer support. Best of luck to you guys!
Isn't that what https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/elemhidehelpe... is for?
So wait, is Firebase 100% free? If it is, I kind of see the argument you're trying to make. If not, the user is PAYING for a server (or part of one) to host a critical part of what makes their video app work.

The big problem is that moving most of your app logic to the front end does NOT necessarily make it serverless. In the case for this WebRTC project, it relies less on the server than the Google demo, but you still have a server. This is why many folks (including myself) are thinking that the title is a bit disingenuous.
I bought the day they announced the Superchargers. It's up 35% since then!

I installed Sms GV extension, then the iPhone 5 keep rebooting... I recovery it try again, them keep rebooting again.... ><
Thanks for clarifying!

WebRTC is really exciting from a P2P perspective, which is why I and others are sensitive about the terminology.

This is a really cool use of Firebase, to have zero discovery servers to deploy for a working WebRTC setup.

We're headed into so many new fronts with web based technologies, that the terminology can get muddled depending on your perspective.

Keep rocking it!
Well, as far as I understand, that implementation would need to overcome the Generic Dilemma as described by Russ Cox: http://research.swtch.com/generic

So far, the Go team decided to go for approach #1.
But it can reload by itself, so flying time should be increased. ( It would be cool to build something that you can reload the drone in the air. Some kind of Tesla coil for example. :)

This is reassuring for me. On a normal day, I only really do so much actual coding and intense thinking, and I usually wrongfully compare it to the crazy energy drink fueled all-nighters (which makes me feel like I'm not getting enough done).
Any screenshots of the comment screen? As that is where I spend most of the time, would be nice to know how it works before making the decision to buy this.
I can't really comment on that, I'm in the Perl 5 category myself :) My first assumption is they're trying to get some of the JavaScript crowd to do Gnome application development by connecting the communities. In this case, by actively working on the bindings.
But they have to add their magic touch! I couldn't imagine using my phone without T-Mobile having added all those applications I can't uninstall, bookmarks I can't delete and advertisements in my visual voicemail application.
$455/wk is equal to $11.375 per hour, assuming 40 hours.

We use the open source version in our wing of the Broad Institute for our external web application (python based), and we're absolutely thrilled with it.

Thank you for this incredible product.
Are there any peer-reviewed studies on this? This looks like purely anecdotal evidence. It makes sense on the surface, but I don't think I can trust that four hours of intense concentration per day is some sort of "cognitive limit" without an actual scientific study.

That one study was paid for by Dyson. Also, the result only really supports airblades being better in medical and food preparation contexts. In the context of most public restrooms, transferring commensal bacteria doesn't seem that big a deal. As stated in the article, we all have them and can never get rid of them with ordinary hand washing. I think it suffices in that context for one to wash and dry hands quickly and comfortably. If someone found an epidemiological difference between hand dryer types, I'd pay attention. Otherwise, going by bacteria counts, one should rather lick a toilet seat than eat a tortilla chip with salsa.
There is nothing wrong with selling open source software. On the contrary, it's rather encouraged by the community:

I wanted to try it, but because it's rails and I haven't gotten into rails, I won't. You have me for a few minutes of playing around and putting on a site somewhere but not for a multi-hour excursion into a big can of worms I'm not familiar with.

I know people are ragging on you and I don't mean it like that. I just thought it was important to point out that you are deliberately raising the bar for the community. Perhaps that's a good thing! Beats me. I am not complaining, just pointing out that this choice has consequences.
The United States is one of the biggest spenders in the world on K-12 education. How much more money do you want to spend on a broken system?

The unions get much better pensions than the rest of us. And their political machines own the state capitals. How much higher should they go?

The United States spends far more money per person on health care than other countries. How much more do you want to spend?

This year, the top capital gains tax rate in California went up 52%. That's a substantial bite on innovation to ensure public workers get gold-plated defined-benefit pensions.

What's keeping the air from blowing droplets of water from the sink to my shirt or face?
I think theoretically less-intense tasks use up your concentration more quickly if you do it intermittently with an intense task. Which I think makes the usual "work 30 minutes, Facebook 5 minutes, repeat" cycle quite devastating to productivity.

I think we overestimate how quickly we can really context switch. It's interesting to look at how people respond to stimulants. People take adderall to "help them focus" but what it really does is magnify what I think is a latent resistance to context switching.

How about Flask+Flask+sqlite as an intro to (web)programming? It shows you much more of what's going on in the database backend. Plus, Flask is so small you can still look at it's program code in an afternoon and understand what it's doing.

That makes sense to me, but then there's that "one guy" (not one guy) that is willing to push it too far and shifts the center of the sport towards the more violent end (e.g., Mike Tyson).

The OP mentions this, for example there are stern rules in the NFL against grabbing a player's facemask and cross blocks, but they still happen frequently. Furthermore, the games rules reward pushing the envelope (15 yards vs chance of serious injury to e.g., the quarterback is unequal).

You can make an effective argument that if you play football in the NFL you will sustain many serious injuries to your brain and body (as the OP does). I'd expand that to include college and high school football as well.

Western europeans don't all have it this good. For example in London the train fare for an hour journey each way might be more like 700 pounds per quarter (roughly 15 times your own). There are some student discounts but they don't nearly make up that difference.
So I have to pay 2% more than similar "simple" credit card processors and I don't get the funds until the end of the month?

Cash flow is super important to any business, particularly small ones. That extra 2% adds up to thousands of dollars if you start seeing any significant sales.

No thanks.
speculative execution and superscalar are independent concepts. While superscalar does effectively mean multiple pipelines, you don't have to be superscalar for speculative execution. You can reduce pipeline stalls in a single pipeline by "speculating" right as well. The concept that GP is talking was a feature of of Itanium.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicitly_parallel_instruction...

"
The EPIC architecture also includes a grab-bag of architectural concepts to increase ILP:

Predicated execution is used to decrease the occurrence of branches and to increase the speculative execution of instructions. In this feature, branch conditions are converted to predicate registers which are used to kill results of executed instructions from the side of the branch which is not taken.
.

.
Multi-way branch instructions improve branch prediction by combining many alternative branches into one bundle.

The most important way in which Amazon Coins resemble a gift card is when you buy one, Amazon can use/bank/invest that money right away, instead of waiting for you to make a purchase. They definitely make enough off the interest/investment to pay for the whole Coins service.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a common chicken-and-egg situation.

Suggestions:

Now that you have some money, hire a designer or three and have them produce a couple of dozen designs for you under various themes. Now you have something to browse. And promote.

Another thought: Hold a contest of some sort. $10K to the design that pulls in the most sales over a period of time.

The best Obama t-shirt contest?

The nerdiest t-shirt contest?

The funniest t-shirt contest?

All of the above?

Hey sergiotapia, thanks for sharing your thoughts! What did you think about the top review on Amazon to this book? http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Development-Rails-Pragmatic-Prog...

One must work hard to grasp what is being taught. It requires a lot of motivation, reviewing and double checking. Too much is given at once, in the wrong order and with little explanation (if any). Too much is left open. Proper subject matter review for a consistent explanation isn't available.There is a summary at the end of each chapter, but it is as a statement of goals "achieved" and not an explanation. I could list many examples. One can easily get lost following (or trying to follow...) the book. It can be a real pain.
The Xlerator works far better than the Dyson, too, it just doesn't look as strange and doesn't seem to have attracted as much press attention.

Yeah, the Xlerator may not get a lot of press, but it is the device that I see in every restaurant, bar, and airport bathroom. I have never seen a Dyson dryer.
Other people are doing this too? Cool. More options to choose from. And I think that's kind of the point. Marketplaces work best when there is choice.
I always assume the interior door handle of the bathroom is the cleanest one in the building. Many people touch it after washing their hands.

Cash is very sparse for startups when they need legal advice the most, formation. I would suggest anything more than what we'd pay for normal filing docs ($750-$1k) would be too much to do besides on a month to month basis. When I've needed the equivalent of in-house counsel, it's been for specialized knowledge (for us, the Real estate laws) - but that's particular to a niche.

I think the idea has merit.

I've had to deal with a lot of NoSQL advocates whose experience with SQL or relational databases doesn't extend beyond MySQL.

Of course, it's understandable why they have a bad impression of SQL; they've only ever used one of the most inept implementations around.

Those who are willing to try one of the more mature and sensible relational database systems usually see quite quickly the value that such systems provide.
At present you have the rules of the game and the helmets and padding, which encourage concussions, and they you put another device on top of that, in order to limit them. That doesn't sound as if it would lead anywhere, and past experience has shown that the evolutionary path the game has taken did nothing to improve safety, Better helmets have made the concussion problem worse.

I'm not comfortable with this approach, it would be better to discourage hard hits altogether instead of limiting them with a g-meter.

Xlerator can get my hands dry in an acceptably short time. One pass with an AirBlade leaves me with damp hands more often than not. By the time I have my hands feeling comparably dry with an AirBlade, there's often no time savings left at all.

I don't intentionally try to structure when/where/how I think about things, but after 23 years, I've gotten pretty in tune with knowing how things 'feel' inside.

I know if I'm going to have a shitty day or a great day the moment I wake up, the first interaction I have with a person (knowing this may make it more likely to happen, but short of that...).

I know when my brain is running on all cylinders, and when it's choking for more air. Tuning into these signals (I have no idea what they are, only 'feelings'), I can lay out the things I want to do in the next few days, and roll with the punches. It'd be interesting to see the amount of time idlers and time progressors (I'm at my computer most of the day, looking at my google search history would give a good indication - I generally don't google that much when I read articles on HN or Reddit, but when I'm doing something I'm googling up a storm).

No sense fitting a square key into a round hole when tomorrow the round key will be sitting in my hand.
I call BS. It should only take 6-8 seconds for someone to grab 2 pieces of paper towel once they're at the dispenser. That means 2 towel dispensers should be a match for 5 sinks.

Another good argument for working from home as opposed to a corporate environment.
A lot of web developers are working on things that are more widely used than gnome.

This seems roughly equivalent to saying "This platform should only have applications written by neckbeards for neckbeards"

I think if this brings programmers who would not traditionally target Linux desktop to target gnome that is a good thing. if their apps suck it should be straightforward to avoid them.

Mongo's probably still got the edge as a JSON store overall, but definitely check out the new JSON object dereferencing functionality coming in 9.3. There's a Russian indexing posse consisting of Oleg, Teodor, and Sasha who have been looking at doing proper indexes for JSON but haven't managed to secure funding. (Disclosure: I think they should get funded.)

These are the same guys who built hstore, full text search, GIN and GIST indexes and I think are working on a generic regular expression index type right now.
Circuit boards are fiberglass and copper. They are not too bad as structural components. Especially for something this light.

The main issue is that you don't want your board flexing on any regular basis, because that will cause the solder joints to crack.
