I have two Android phones (ICS and Jelly Bean) and this has not been my experience at all.

The first time you start the Google+ app, it will ask you if you want to enable Instant Upload (which uploads to a private album from which you can publish). Prior to that it doesn't do anything with your photos.
It's true. I was surprised when I suddenly started to get notifications that my photos had been uploaded to G+ and were ready to be shared (I don't even use G+ but have a zombie account).

I don't really mind though. Good backup.
It seems to use Newegg and Amazon as sources. A common trick is to just leave an item at high price when you don't have it in stock so no one would buy it. If someone did buy your item at that price you could cancel the transaction or go out of your way to get hold of the item.

So I guess at that point they were the only ones with the item "in stock".

The mindset that something "isn't possible" is dangerous as a developer.

You should never deny the evidence. When you say "It's not possible", something in your understanding is obviously mistaken. Maybe your understanding of the evidence, maybe your understanding of the problem, but somewhere you're wrong. Your job now is to find out where you're wrong.

The correct response in such situations is "What am I wrong about?"

I've lost count of how many times I've seen the Can't Happen mindset delay resolution of an issue. It's a genuine problem.

I repeatedly post this chart that shows life expectancy stratified by age to HN:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=longevity-w...

I learned about this article from another participant's submission to Hacker News.

I happen to be part of a "journal club" with a researcher who studies, among other things, demography of aging, and from him I've learned some startling facts about increases in life expectancy around the world. Girls born since 2000 in the developed world are more likely than not to reach the age of 100, with boys likely to enjoy lifespans almost as long. The article "The Biodemography of Human Ageing" by James Vaupel,

http://www.demographic-challenge.com/files/downloads/2eb51e2...

originally published in the journal Nature in 2010, is a good current reference on the subject. Vaupel is one of the leading scholars on the demography of aging and how to adjust for time trends in life expectancy. His striking finding is "Humans are living longer than ever before. In fact, newborn children in high-income countries can expect to live to more than 100 years. Starting in the mid-1800s, human longevity has increased dramatically and life expectancy is increasing by an average of six hours a day."

http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1...

and is still steadily on the rise around the world.) Life expectancy at age 40, at age 60, and at even higher ages is still rising throughout the developed countries of the world.
are there any completely nicotine free e-cigarettes? I'm tempted to start using them just for the fun of inhaling and exhaling smoke and having something between my fingers to fiddle with...

This is half in jest, but I used to be a smoker, and one aspect I really enjoyed was the whole ceremony involved with smoking. The habitual aspect of it (something to do when you're waiting for somebody, something to twiddle with...) was perhaps stronger than the physical addiction when I quit.

Well, thing is hostnames are supposed to only contain letters, digits and hyphens, although other DNS names can contain underscores. So it shouldn't work. You should be able to have a TEXT record with an underscore, but really shouldn't be able to have an A or AAAA record.
Mostly because you need the "I". Unless you start accumulating PKs as we do passwords. Some sites will require access revocation, others not. Some require known identities, others not. Unless an identity system is ubiquitous it won't gain widespread adotpion. For it to be adopted it needs to address every scenario that an identity meta system faces.
It isn't true. By default -- including on a brand-new Nexus 4 -- it will notify you that photos are ready to be uploaded, and if you follow-through it gives you the option of automatically uploading from then forward.

This kind of valuable feedback is why I like HN so much. It's kind of you to take the time to organize and share your thoughts, asimjalis.
I recently stayed at an organic coffee plantation in Costa Rica and was educated on the nuances of coffee. Starbucks tells its roasters to roast the beans more than what is optimal. The reason is heat expands so a larger bean is the result which means more grind and therefore higher yields/profits per bean. The upshot of this is that Starbucks coffee is bitter and requires sugars and creams - hence all of the flavour concoctions they sell.

Their blonde roast is the only roast they sell that comes from beans roasted optimally.

Other interesting things I learned:

- coffee beans are actually the pits of a cherry plant

- the higher the bean is grown from sea level, the better the quality

- good beans roasted properly create a coffee that is naturally sweet requiring no additional flavours or creams and tastes great just black

- Ily, the Italian coffee brand, sells one of the highest quality coffee grinds you can get from a supermarket

- coffee commodity prices are cyclical and producers will hold back or flood the market depending on the commodity price. As a result, you can time which beans will be fresh and which ones will be stale because they were held back during low price periods

I don't understand the question? What evidence do you need? That a colo cage can be $50k/yr? Call Equinix and ask for some dedicated space.

Who's going to go through the trouble of buying and deploying full DAR with an HSM of their own, and then put it in a common shared hosting environment instead of a dedicated, secure environment?

Just a warning: blurring pixels in sensitive photos like this is often insufficient. Always black out the information instead (and make sure to flatten the image! and not save it as e.g. a pdf with a black bar over it which has actually happened before too)

Yes, if context is missing. And context will most likely be missing from ‘leaked’ information – and if the subject is sufficiently emotional, people will have little reason left to wait for/inquire about said context.

The usernames do not need to be part of the audit trail -- the unique URL identifies the site it came from. You know you your own logins, presumably, so it doesn't need to be there.

myaudithooks.com should not be centralized -- I 100% agree. You should just be able to put any old URL there. If I want my audit entries to go to my box, I absolutely should be able to.

You're right, some attacker could post bogus information if the know the url... however, the urls should be unique enough that they can't just be randomly "guessed" by an attacker. Another alternative is to provide a callback url, the way stripe does, so the service can "authenticate" the audit log entry before I consider it valid. For example, if I receive an audit log entry with id "abcd1234", I can hit http://mydogfriends.com/audit/abcd1234 to make sure it responds appropriately.

The idea isn't fully fleshed out yet, but I think it wouldn't take a lot of work to make it happen.
Well, that’s a nice get-out-of-jail-free card for those manufacturers, isn’t it?

I’m sorry, but if you want to claim that something is a smoking cessation device you better back it up with solid evidence. If you don’t want to, you can still sell it, but don’t claim it’s something you didn’t prove it is.

There is an important lesson that many "gifted" people don't learn until later in life (myself included). Being gifted is like having a head start in a marathon. It is minuscule compared to the results of hard work and nothing to be proud of. Be proud of the things that you worked for, not the things you are born with.

That's a very unproductive and mean comment. If you have specific criticisms, post them.

If you think your criticisms are so obvious that they don't need saying, then don't say anything. If you think that, but the post stays on the front page, well, you were wrong. The criticisms did need saying. So post them.
That would be interesting if they actually deciphered a real blurred picture.

As much as I love bashing Google over privacy. And as highly probable as I believe the sort of glitch described is likely to occur, two things make me skeptical of this story.

A) That of all the random ways that a bug like this could manifest itself, it happened with a tech journalist on the receiving end.

B) That the author spoke with a live human Googler over a customer service issue in regard to a free service.

The real story here is B not A.
This is good news, but it reflects a hardening bifurcation (in that some people are strongly pro-copyright, and others are strongly for a roll-back or reform of imaginary monopoly law). I wish playing politics wasn't necessary, and that none of the rallying and competitive commentator insults were needed to keep everyone from feeling persecuted. At the moment, however, the "sharing is caring" thinkers are still under-represented in official roles IMHO (there are more than are given credit, or are able to speak up meaningfully), so this is at least a step towards a fairer dialog in Iceland, and around the world.
The idea that context-free photos uploaded to the internet (and potentially shared with the public) without the subject's permission somehow represent 'truth' is hilarious.

If they say a picture's worth a thousand words, then it's not much of a leap to apply this quote:

"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."

How many pictures out of context do you think it would take to ruin the average person's marriage? Destroy their career? Make them a public laughingstock? Not many pictures, if you choose the right ones.
Yep, the other factor the article mentions is the patients "died, reducing their costs permanently". We could just round up the obese and drug addicts and save a whole bunch of money by killing them.

I think it's nice that it leaves you to draw your own conclusion, and doesn't preach or talk down to you, one way or the other.
I agree but I think, as a general rule on HN, that any repost - or maybe any article dated earlier than the current date - should include the date in the title.

I don't know what tzaman was saying exactly, but what I noticed was that "today" got down to one or two pixels pretty fast, while the larger and larger time periods were restricted to only another ~1000 pixels or so, so at some point you have to shift back to imagining the relative lengths of time in your head again, instead of seeing e.g. "today" as 1/30 of the month.

Almost all of the things that I consider to be "excessive policing" and taking us in the wrong direction has happened since the the late 1980-ish, with a very strong acceleration after 9/11.

I heard someone say one, "I not getting mediocre grades because I'm dumb; I'm just as smart as the smartest kids, but because I don't work hard enough ... Y'know, if I was really smart, I would work hard enough."

I've found this to be true in my college classes. For example, I took a class recently that was heavily related to previous research I did. The class was easy for me because I did previous work in that area.
"No plans to ..." Is the standard non-committal reassurance.

I'm currently investigating migration plans and checking the stability of my Fast Lists app if I just delete the API key on Parse. I only use Parse for logging and crash reporting and all access goes through a shim class so that I can swap and replace at a single point.

I'm trying to pick a good way of crash logging at the moment as I'm fed up of manually symbolicating. Crashlytics, crittercism and Flurry look nice but I'm not keen on their privacy policies. Hockey app might do the job but doesn't look as slick and the initial install instructions aren't completely clear. I'm also trying to get JIRA and Mobile Connect working although I'm not sure if that does the symbolisation.
