The hint is in what they said about the adults-

>The 14 adults still have traces of HIV in their blood, but at such low levels that their body can naturally keep it in check without drugs.

They still have HIV, and it may develop into AIDS again later. They can also still spread it, since they do have it in their system. They just don't have enough of it to cause them problems.

With the baby there supposedly aren't any traces, but it's perfectly possible that there are still packets of the virus present. There is no definitive way to know the virus is completely gone and won't come back later.
"but there appear to be sufficient statistics to back up Gupta's assertions:"

One of Gruber's points is that Apple never had the most market share in smartphones. So they haven't lost anything in that respect.

But Apple had, and still have, most of the profits from the smartphone market, with Samsung coming in a distant 2nd, even now, at about half of Apple's iPhone profits. And the other vendors are losing money.

Yeah, but cancer is not infectious. People will always develop cancer, but we could potentially get to a point where nobody has HIV anymore, if we can prevent the virus from spreading.

You did not read the article adequately. Gruber points out that while Apple may have a lower market share (which was never an Apple goal), the profits it brings in far exceed Samsung. Furthermore, if the market share of Apple is going UP, how is it being described in Gupta's article as going down?

Your post was basically all of the assumptions Gupta made without any contribution to the discussion.

I don't think he's contradicting himself, he's not saying that there wasn't a smartphone category before iphone, he's saying exactly that people didn't buy iphone because it was a great 'smartphone' (it had fewer features - the way people would have evaluated smartphones before iphone - on launch than smartphones that had been around for years), they bought iphone because it was a great touchscreen phone and browser experience.

I think he's roughly right about that. They created a new experience and that experience became necessary to sell advanced phones. The article talks about how apple pioneered the 'more computer than phone' over the 'more phone than computer'. That's nonsense revisionist history, there were plenty of 'more computer than phones' out there years before and the iphone was significantly behind some of them in terms of computer-like behaviour. What Apple did was create a swipe friendly experience that became mandatory. What 'smartphone' meant changed dramatically, to the extent that people don't classify phones that can run apps, browse the web, play mp3s, ssh into servers, etc as smart phones these days unless they have a swipe friendly UI.

To be honest though, I find the whole article pointless. I don't care about whether the media is using the wrong metric to call winners and losers in the 'smartphone' market. I'm not really interested in the media's view on this matter. I am interested in which phone is right for me, and it's not an iphone.
>Apple lost the lead around 2011 however due to the unwillingness to provide more than one model or innovate faster. Android was more flexible and could address more users.

More users, but not more users that really matter. That is, more users that generate more profits. Hence the difference between Samsung and Apple. It's similar to how Apple can have ten times the profit of Dell even if Dell ships twice the units.

The Android companies are like the PC companies: they have a commoditized OS and sell to all tiers, low and high, but mostly low and mid, and for smaller margins. Apple only sells to the higher end of the market, as they always did with their laptops and desktops.

>Now it may well be that Apple doesn't care about this at all. But please do not make arguments how technically Apple never led in the smartphone market.

Smartphone? I thought you meant "mobile phone with touch UI and great web browser".

Which is BS btw. Apple made a smartphone. Competing with entrenched smartphones. The fact that none (or few) shared it's design and particular qualities at the time means nothing.

In the smartphone market (which is a real market segment, instead of the "mobile phone with touch UI and great web browser" which is an ad-hoc thing you came up with), the iPhone was never top in market share. It was however top (and still is) in profits.

Apple does not care about the lower end (or total market share) for the iPhone. They care for the same things they do in their PC department: capturing the upper end, the more expensive, better margins and more headroom for build quality, end of the market.

That's why you have Android users be 3-1 to iOS users but iOS users still are 80% of those actively web browsing from their mobiles. Because beside the "tech-enthusiasts that don't like Apple" (a small-ish market) Android also caters to the lower end of the market, people who could not care less about mobile browsing or "computer-like phones", and just use it as a glorified phone that they get for free with their low-tier subscription.

Well, the world IS full of crazy people.

The see the Android market share and thing Apple is doomed.

For some reason they forget that Apple never went for market share, and only addresses the more profitable (margin wise) segments of the market.

They also forget the bloody apparent fact that the same thing happens in the PC market. Is Dell or HP "winning" because they sell more units?

Gruber has only changed the terms of reference.

The idea that Apples original aims anything at all to do with the current state of the smartphone business is laughable. Apple's stock price is not based on the relative success versus their original aim. It's very much based on the projected future success of the company.

This is called spin. There definitely is a lot of crowing about "Apple's downfall" (which is certainly not true, and definitely premature), but Gruber reads more into the article than is really there. Tilting at windmills.

Only if those people have progressed beyond capitalism and big corporations having control over laws.
Sure, but it's also largely irrelevant.

Movement of stock price is the metric that Gupta's audience is interested in. Apple's current profit margin is already priced in - a reduction in profit (via an increase in margin, loss of market share, etc) is as good as a loss, from the investors perspective.
I doubt any media companies are much interested in swaying self-professed pirates that demand rights not offered to their side. You're coming from this imagined position that you deserve license to others' work on your terms at your price. The companies offering media with DRM for sale on the market have no such delusion that they have an innate right your money; they're OK with you not taking their offer. That's fine, since the value proposition is suitable to millions of others who will make the purchase on the terms offered -- watching a movie today is still worth some number of dollars even if you might not be able to dust it off 20 years from now to watch again. They're not OK with you infringing their rights to their property instead of declining the offer. But really, your moral and ethical compass won't be turned by logic or debate.
Really? How is it any different from:

a) regular proprietary apps.

b) regular open source apps that they don't have a community to continue them after the original coders lose interest, and you don't know enough programming to support them nor have the money to pay someone to work on them?

PG's most consistent advice is the founders are important, not the idea. In theory, the right set of founders could apply with no product and no idea and still get into YC.

Likewise, PG recently said that applying every six months with a different idea makes your likelihood of getting into YC better versus consistently applying with the same idea ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5194256 ).

It's unfortunate that Gruber has essentially become synonymous with Apple fanboyism, because I think he raises some salient points here. To any reader that is familiar with his writing, it'll come across as the typical Apple cheerleading, suggesting that weaknesses are actually strengths, and any competition isn't really competition because Apple is really just engaged in a long-term, visionary, eleventy-dimensional chess match in its noble and exalted goal of driving the human race forward.

But I agree with him on the first two misconceptions he tries to correct. The iPhone was never a market share game. In 2004, the original Motorola RAZR was like $400 at launch, and three months later it came free in cereal boxes. That's what you do when you are trying to gain market share. Apple's products are effectively a luxury brand for consumer electronics, and criticizing Apple for not winning the market share game is like criticizing Lulumelon for selling fewer yoga pants than Target.

Also, the iPhone and iPhone 3G were objectively great products. It would have been great even if RIM wasn't releasing awful products by comparison. Their other product lines have continued to be popular even as other companies have learned how to make products that are just as thin or have screens just as sharp. So I agree with him on that point, that there's not much merit to the argument, "well the iPhone only sold well because everyone else sucks, and now the Galaxy is just as good so they're screwed."

But, his third point is where I diverge with him on his conclusions. "Apple is a great competitor. In the PC industry they’ve fought back from the brink of bankruptcy to become the most profitable and fastest-growing PC maker in the world. They came in and stole the music player market, and have dominated it for over a decade."

Well, look. To suggest that this is a fait accompli, without even mentioning the fact that Steve Jobs is no longer with the company so maybe they're going to struggle in learning how to 'fight back' without him, is extremely misguided to me. I never knew Steve Jobs personally, but I'd like to think that if he visited Apple now, he'd say something like, "I've been dead for two years and we're still talking about which company is better at making flat touch screen computers? That's boring now. Let's invent something new. And by the way, fire whomever thought it was okay to have 21 icons on the iPhone 5."

Like I said, I don't know Steve Jobs, and I don't work at Apple. But it would seem like if you're going to suggest Apple's still on the ball and market share is irrelevant because they're focused on 'advancing the human race,' you'd probably want to explain how they're going to do it without the one guy that coined the motto to begin with.

Here are some facts:

- Gupta was not talking about the stock market for the entire article.
- Business is about profits.
- Gruber is talking about Gupta's article which says Apple is failing in mobile.
- The stock market is basically sensationalism in monetary form.
- Apple hasn't announced any new products and that is hurting it's stock.
- Apple never announces new products before they are manufacturing.

Thank you for saying this. What the us has done with military action is just appalling. To the extent that the US has enemies, spying and information based action is much less destructive.

I would also like to ask some of you who seem to take it as av given that any erosion of privacy, any knowledge about you by government is bad: outside of edge cases are we seeing big negative effects from the huge amount of data being collected about the population at large?

There are a lot of upsides to this infrastructure. I give Google a lot of info, but I get a lot in return.

As someone else mentioned, we have probably more personal freedom than any previous era in the us. Many US citizens lived during times when racial discrimination was codified in law!

There has always been an elite power structure in human society. The idea that the executive branch has to obey the law is pretty new.

In general, I think the ideas of human rights are so powerful, that any technology that has the power to vastly increase communication will be instrumental in their spread. It's because they are powerful, and have an obvious appeal to humans. The powers that be cannot undo the truthfulness of ideas, by any means. This is my pet theory anyway.

But I really am curious. There are a lot of super smart folks on here raising alarm bells about this. What are the scenarios where the average American brings calamity on themselves by posting a bunch of stuff online?

Lets use cancer terminology. The people's HIV is in remission. As with cancer, you can treat it to the point that its undetectable by current tests. Since a doctor may not be able to guarantee your cancer has been completely obliterated (all cancerous cells destroyed), you are in remission. I would look at this in the same way.

* Why is there an access_token in a browser url ? (query string or fragment)

The access_token is provided by the Authorization Server to the client,
and not to the user.

The user should only received an authorization_code. And, to get an
access_token, the client must have an authorization_code and know
the "client_secret".

access_token should never been seen on a browser, right ?

That's a USA problem. In most places, interoperability and backups are legally valid reasons to break both DRM systems and EULA's.

So "ignoring DRM" may bea reasonable strategy, but you need to work on your laws to ensure that things that are both socially accepable and morally good (such as breaking DRM to make backups) are not criminalized.
Not disagreeing with you since as far as I know, there are no human cancers that are contagious. There are at least 2 mammalian cancers I know of, and possibly more, that are contagious. One is a disease wiping out Tasmanian devils. Another is a sexually transmitted cancer among dogs. Its thousands of years old and shows up as small tumors around the genital regions of affected animals. There was a TED talk describing this in some detail. Don't have the time to search for a link at the moment, but you can probably find it.
I asked a lawyer about this. Well, specifically, about the difference between a physical book and an ebook (Kindle). He basically stated that when you buy a physical book, you are, in fact, obtaining a license to read the contents of said book. While you own the physical object, you do not own the contents. You can transfer this "license" to another party (gift it or sell it) but you, in fact, licensing the contents.

It makes a weird kind of sense. I can sell the license to my physical copy of _Neuromancer_, but I cannot sell the contents (or claim to be the author) of _Neuromancer_.

> If you change flight plan you must notify me prior so I can decide where my child goes

So what you want is the illusion of control. You want someone to ring you, tell you about the change of plan, so you can say "yes". Or if she misses her connecting flight and has to stay in a hotel, you want to say "yes" to that too. What else are you going to do? "Oh, I can't have her staying in that hotel. Charter a flight back for her immediately!"

I have to say, I find this pretty incomprehensible. And I love how none of this is about the child - it's all about managing the neuroticism of panicky helicopter parents.

Ask HN: You're the smartest people I know. I am struggling and need advice.
TL;DR: I have serious motivation issues.

I'm reaching out here because I really need some advice.

I am 24 years old, and I seriously struggle with motivation to do... just about anything. I have a midterm tomorrow in Dynamics (a mech engr course), and I have pretty much neglected the class entirely, and I am most certainly going to fail it, and I'll have to withdraw. This isn't surprising, because I've been in this situation many, many times before. But the issue goes much deeper.

For my entire life, I have struggled to do many basic things other people have no trouble with, like keeping my room clean or being on time. (I am chronically late). For high school I had bad grades, and for college I've had abysmal ones. I took Calc 2 three times, and Calc 3 four times. Business 1 three times, and I've repeated probably 3 or 4 engineering and other easy classes just a single time as well.

After my third year at university (a complete disaster), I investigated getting tested for ADD, and lo- and behold I "had" it, along with mild depression. Now I live on my own, and aside from not having enough friends as I'd like / once had, I don't really have any real reasons to be depressed. I started Adderrall a few years ago, and it showed me how backward I am. I'll get to this later.

A recent talk with my half-sister really opened my eyes by showing me she is very much like me when it comes to getting things done. For just about everything, I get no mental stimulation out of "doing it now," so I put it off. And off. And off. I have some kind of huge mental resistance, anxiety, or pain associated with doing it (for all you neuroscientists out there).
