The obvious thing that is being missed is that manual 'scaling' would most probably result in higher quality data. I would consider this critical for data sensitive businesses.

One of my clients I do some consultation work for from time to time actually prefer the manual process. It allows them finer grained control to better manage the quality of data/advertisements because the majority of what they do involves graphic art. They have effectively turned manual scaling into a competitive advantage.

I sincerely doubt they will always prefer this route - but at the moment it seems like the best approach (until all their clients are computer savvy and solely work with artists and not try to make a flyer or the like themselves with Microsoft Paint).
Mutual fund and etf investors would have only been impacted by this event if they tried to liquidate at the precise time today that the market had this aberration. That is a vanishingly small % of people. For every other average investor they wouldn't have even noticed this by looking at their portfolio. They shouldn't be paying attention to daily swings in the dow anyway, more or less minute by minute ones.

I'm not sure what "scenario" you are talking about but the linked wsj article mentions that people reacted to a public tweet and just as quickly corrected itself after public statements from the white house. No insider information has been proven to be part of that.

The rampant and irresponsible speculation about this being some big short sell plot on this forum doesn't mean that the market behaved incorrectly. In fact, in reality it behaved exactly correctly. As soon as the hoax was uncovered the dow returned to it's correct level. Showing stability.

Very surprised by that type of revenue. What kind of marketing did you put into it?

Without marketing, my first app on the store went as follows:

"Do iPhone 4/4S sales actually result in significantly lower profits for Apple?"

Not lower profits, lower profit margins.

Edit: a really basic example that shows the difference in profit and profit margin is the calculation below.

(Profit Margins) X (Revenue) = Profits.
You are setting up a false dilemma. Setting deadlines and communicating them to customers do not lower the quality of one's IP.

what's really nice is how it works across modems and routers. I can't listen to my modems port in a classical sense, so a webserver wouldn't work. But this connects easily with my VPN! Which is fantastic. Setting this up manually would've been really hard work.

absolutely off-topic and yes a bit unreasonable, but after years of webdevelopment, i'm getting a little cranky at every mention of this "browser" that microsoft forces developers to put up with. Yes, i know this is a "new" html5 feature and that i cant expect corporations or consumers to keep in-house browsers up-to-date, but really: its a microsoft failure. Is it really _that_ hard to keep up with the competition?

And the wheel turns:

http://www.retrologic.com/jargon/W/wheel-of-reincarnation.ht...

The wheel of reincarnation I'm referring to in this case is the cycling between a mainframe/thin-client architecture and a PC-based distributed architecture.

In ye olde days it was mainframes and dumb terminals. Then it was PCs and LANs/the Internet. Then it was web browsers and tablets (dumb terminal 2.0) and The Cloud (mainframe 2.0). Now the wheel is turning once again...

The cloud is great as long as I don't care who owns my data, want to pay constantly for hosting it (or put up with arbitrary and changeable limits), have no privacy, lose my data when a startup goes out of business, etc.
which is very stupid of them. It's akin to Porsche cutting prices on 911 because market (i.e. market analysts should be the term) demands it. I don't want cheap phone from Apple or a cheap car from Porsche. I want a smartphone from Apple that has the best design, the best build quality, the best user interface, the best customer service. Samsung and others are just assembly plants and they don't seem to "get" value added portion of the products.
Switching from iPhone to S3 was for me what switching from Mac OS X to Win Vista/7/8 could have been. A disaster. I don't want cheap Mac OS X. I want one that doesn't suck like the competition does. And hell yeah, I'm going to spend more on it.
The earnings are lower because Apple started to be more like everybody else - a commodities manufacturer where the cost is everything. Anybody resurrect Steve, please?
I was with you until you said that amazing profits aren't a good thing, even for Apple.

Yes, the amount of money is more than what Apple can realistically spend but they can give that money to shareholders who could invest that money in other ventures. That's an amazing result of great profits.
>The iPad Mini didn't exist last year, and that's surely a lower margin product

Why is it "surely" so? We're talking percentage margin here, not the margin in dollar terms. The iPad Mini can theoretically have a higher margin than the iPad.

Steve Jobs big plan was to sell a computer for under a thousands dollars, given that macs used to cost over two thousand dollars in the "monopoly" years. And it was not only accomplished on the Mac platform when he returned to the company, but also on the mobile platform by releasing a computer less than five-hundred dollars with the iPad accomplishing Bill Gate's vision with Origami(1).

Generally speaking, they target lower-end price points by releasing models with stripped down features rather than discounting the fully-featured products.
I suppose even a hypothetical expensive exploit (requiring ten minutes per attempt for example) would not deter someone with a large botnet from trying it against every server. So while hiding version info might save from some attackers in some scenarios it doesn't provide real protection.
Ask HN: Resource management suggestions?
Hey HN, trying to find the best resource management tool. Any suggestions? I've checked out Ganttic but I'm not a big fan. I use Omniplan pretty regularly on a project basis, but I'm looking for something that is good for high level resource management for multiple projects and potentially multiple PM's to collaborate on. It would be awesome if there was something that would make it easy to get a snapshot of what everyones schedule look like and figure out how much more work we can reasonably take on.
Great looking app, but unfortunately it does not seem to support organizations. This is a huge issue for me, personally.

Are there any plans for org support in the future?

A solution could be to give each of your machines their own folder. In this folder they are the source and the only machine allowed to make changes. Other machines can read, but not update.
I thought the App Store had a rule that you couldn't submit an app that was essentially a 'book or a film' how did you get around that?

It's a fair point, but if we consider the GP's claims, they're pretty much all benefits of cloud sync. You get a web-based view for your albums, you can share easier outside of your own devices, you can - as he says, compete with the top services for photo, video and music sharing. Cloud sync makes you a media company.

Personally, I use cloud sync for a lot of backup stuff. Granted, it's mostly Git to BitBucket, but in school I used to push documents to Dropbox or Box just to have a backup. I wasn't interested in having my essays synced to my phone, just that if my other versions died I could download my work again to another device.

If you're referring to companies though, no I doubt they'd want a seamless and perfect system in somebody else's data center. That said, a data center and a perfect seamless cloud backup solution is a considerable cost, especially for a startup.

But yep, I agree, BT sync would be perfect if you didn't want/need Dropbox remote backups or web services.

> I thought the diopter adjustment could compensate for glasses?

The problem I had when I tried it was that I could get everything looking perfect through the viewfinder, but the resulting picture was blurred. My current prescriptions round to the nearest 0.25 (glasses) / 0.5 (contacts) dioptres.

Even if I could make a perfect adjustment, my vision alters during the day. For example when tired things can get a little blurry.

Another thing to consider, if you're doing client work and you charge per hour; the deadline is also when the agreed budget runs out. If you haven't finished by the agreed deadline you may have to get approval for extra spending.

You can't really have an open deadline, and just charge whatever when you eventually finish.

All that said, how is in-group preferential treatment any different than familial preferential treatment. The article mentioned giving away free tickets as an example.

Maybe they're not all that different, just different forms of tribalism. I can certainly see it applying early last century in the U. S., when you're fresh off a visit to Ellis Island and the natives aren't particularly fond of you. If you don't watch out for each other, who else will? Further back in history such prejudices may have been more valuable when unfriendly tribes are just a short walk away.

Same thing for family: the rest of the world isn't going to give us a leg up, so we best watch out for each other.

Or maybe for both it's just familiarity. When you're a long way from home, I can see value in having someone around who understands your cultural background and speaks the language you grew up with. As for family, I'm probably not the one to ask. Mine is spread all over the U. S., and even if my sister lived next door I'd be just as likely to give courtside seats to a coworker as I would to her.
I think what the article is highlighting is that the it needs to do x, y and z for the cost of the implicit budget I have in my head as a client is fundamentally broken and discussions need to address the inherent risk otherwise estimates will continue to be wildly wrong.

It's hard because it takes a mature operator to say no I won't give you a total time estimate for what you just explained to me in 5 minutes.

The context needs to be, crafting software is difficult what's important is that you prioritize your desired features in case delivering those early ones blows out and uses up your budget it's then about hiring developers who you can trust to drive the project professionally and honestly and work hard and not stuff you around. Let's talk about why we think we are the ones worthy off your trust and the sorts of things you should be looking for in hiring a developer.
I imaging the average employee got less than 1% of the company, assuming .5% of 80% of 30 million, each is looking at at most 120k. I say most of them got less then 100k. Hopefully not locked in for 4 years, which is like 25k a year. Sigh. My bonus is more than that....

We are expecting our first baby in a couple of months too. So, no real experience here but I want to share some info that I gathered from different sources, in case it might be helpful.

If the baby cries at night and don't want to eat its a sign to look for another reasons. There's non obvious one: gases in the tummy. They appear because of an adrenalin which baby got with the milk. If mother is angry/stressed an adrenalin goes into her blood and then into milk. The baby eats, his tummy filles with gases, he cries, mother wakes up stressed and so on... The way to get out of this loop is to decrease the amount of stress for the mother. I know it's hard, because of harmones rage in her blood but you need to be a psychologist here and try to calm he down.

Like they say, keep calm and carry on. It should get better in few weeks.
The market would just pay the money to the shareholders and management in a stock buyback/cancel deal.

Exactly. It's company-sponsored arbitrage.

If markets, according to company insiders, are not behaving rationally (AAPL P/E is amazingly 9.21, compared to ~15 for MSFT and ~24 for GOOG), then buying when you think it's cheap is a wise move.

You wouldn't get the discount because you're white, you'd get it because you're a member of a minority subculture in the context you're in. Say, you're back packing through [somewhere far away], and you walk into a restaurant somewhere that's run by a guy who went to your university (or is from your state or whatever). He gives you a free beer. Still feels uncomfortable?
I can understand why they're trying to do with a funny commercial, but I think it's misplaced when their product is dealing with serious law issues.

To me, it just made them come across like they're not very serious, even a little juvenile. And I'd expect anyone in genuine need of a lawyer to find it conflicting to their emotional state. I guess if it was genuinely funny I probably wouldn't feel this way. Falling slightly flat just makes the negatives much more obvious.

The service sounds like a very good idea and I'm sure it will get off to a good start. But this sort of thing works better for less important things, like razors. I wouldn't expect a mainstream crowd to respond to it particularly well.
This is true. There's a ton of debate about it in third-wave feminist circles from what I can tell.

There's a Catch-22 goes something like: as more women join the workplace, they act as role models and (for lack of a better term) envoys. If/when little girls see women doing things, it'll seem that much more realistic a choice.

But if feminism is about choice, doesn't that limit your choices by declaring that staying at home to raise kids is in somehow immoral or degrading?

It's also difficult because how do you distinguish your example woman, who made a choice, with a woman who did not have the choice, for (e.g.) socioeconomic reasons? How do you distinguish between someone who felt empowered to make a choice and someone who was socialized to accede to others' needs first?

In general I'd probably be skeptical of someone who said that raising children was more fulfilling than any other pursuit, but what's more important than that is that there should be a choice in the first place. Quite frequently there isn't.
I did not wanted to say that disabling version information is a security measure. It is not. Sorry if I was not clear on that.

I just wanted to say it may give you some time. That's debatable. You and others disagree. I remember an exploit for ProFTPd that required different payloads for different builds (OS, Version, Architecture).

Having a database with version data und using that database would maximize the attackers chance to own the machine.

Before checking the whole internet, why not at first try all machines where the exploit would work more likely. After that try all other machines.

Another issue I remember was PLESK¹. They added some versions ago a Header "Powered-By Plesklin". There were a few PLESK exploits in the wild where an attacker with a database of versions and headers for services could quickly attack them.

That is a reason for me to disable versions. It is totally unrelated to other security measures. I just don't want to give the attacker any additional clue. The more time he needs to spend probing my server the more time I have to notice him.

I'm not sure how easy it is to order a botnet to execute an exploit for the whole internet. Other comments suggest it is no problem anymore. If that is indeed the case, it's probably really not relevant to disable versions or not. However I think I outlined my reasoning.

1: I know, don't use it. This was not up to me.
That is also the approach that we used. Only the "like" action on our platform is bound to happened ten times or more in a row, so it is the only email delayed.

Coding wise, it is a simple as setting a run_at on our Delayed::Job and a custom queue for this user notification. For every new notification we check if there is another delayed job to be procesed in that queue, if it is the case we just edit the run_at to add a few more minutes.

I'm curious what translation you used (I signed up for the rest of the posts but haven't got through them).

Most modern English translations of the Bible are copyrighted and often you can only quote/print a limited number of verses without paying licensing. (I think the best public domain version is probably the ASV from 1901).

Did you license a spanish version of the Bible? Pay someone to translate a modern one? If so, were there legal hurdles to translating a copyrighted version?

How is that different from not taking that money from consumers (or investors) in the first place? If a consumer gives Apple $1 to hold for N months before Apple hands it over to a shareholder, that is clearly less effective than the consumer simply giving that dollar to the investor in the first place (e.g. by dropping it in the stock market).

I'm not saying that "Apple doesn't deserve its profits". I'm saying that past a certain point, the marginal value to society of huge profits drops to zero, and that Apple is past that point.
