I couldn't read this entire thread because it made me so incredibly angry. As a woman in tech I have done plenty of reading about the genders and their capabilities. I've read that while women tend to be stronger in English comprehension and men tend to be stronger in Math, this is lately due to how we are socialized, not genetic factors. I am saddened by how this thread degenerates from reviewing Sandberg's book in a horribly irresponsible way to discussing the incompetence of women in general. This entire thread is so discouraging and I am disappointed there hasn't been a more rational discussion of this book and the topics it raises.
This is stupid. Can't they handle a simple search a little bit better?
This was not the case on my device. I was able to recover all of the snaps I was ever sent, even after viewing them all. I found after looking at the Android code, there is a deleteVideoDirectory method, but no deleteImageDirectory method. There were some other discrepancies between the Video and Image deletion methods I am still looking into.

On the iPhone side, I was able to recover some recieved videos, and am looking at how to recover some sent videos stored in a SQLite Blob (seems to be the last 6 videos sent). I was not able to find any images on a non-jailbroken device.
Hence the term, "smoke test."

Ahh, good times.
I'm not going to express an opinion about the photo other than general surprise about how varied a concept of 'faked' appears across all commentators.

What really interested me was the article's description of Photoshop's XMP metadata block, giving a history of saves/exports/edits. I never knew this level of detail was stored with the images. It also makes me think, how long until there are tools to easily edit such metadata? The website takes the metadata as gospel truth. At some point in the future, this is not going to be a reliable position to take.

The striking photographic detail about the photo is how the faces appear to be artificially lit. The arguments about the sun's position may actually explain that if you consider the possibility that the light on their faces is reflected light from the left wall plus the photographer's off camera flash.
Translation is one of those things where crowdsourcing makes sense - there's not always a 'right' way to translate a particular phrase, so a consensus between multiple people helps.
SQLite has limitations on the data types it supports. Most of this can be worked around by application code, but it can be a pain when you have data that needs to be accessable by more than one application.

The emotionally poignant scene draws its weight from the fact that its showing dead children, not the photographer's technique.
Well, mine’s the case of a minority language (Irish) where, even on the off chance that some professional outfit were paid to do the translation, it’d more than likely be of very low quality. Basically either (a) it wouldn’t get done or (b) it’d be really bad, so in the end I’d rather just do it myself, even for free.

What do you guys think about this one?
Thank you for saying all of this.
Congrats, you've done what most top HN comments do, contribute nothing but uninformed speculations and hearsay.

I think you misunderstood the point of te article, it's not trying to prove that the scene was fake nor staged, but the photo was digitally edited and not worthy of the award.

Digital editing aside, the scene seems to be quite real as it was covered by multiple news outlets and with different photos. Here is the link from the article to the time's photo (by the Reuters) : http://world.time.com/2012/11/15/a-new-gaza-war-israel-and-p...
I don't think Red Hat is THAT big of a supporter of GNOME.
DNA is bytecode for some VM, and the junk is uninitialized HEAP. Maybe.
Does anyone personally know people in Red Hat's management or the GNOME foundation's board of directors?

If so, it would be a good idea to engage them and convince them to fix the problem.

Red Hat has the authority to fire the many GNOME developers they employ, and the GNOME Foundation owns the trademark and can thus ultimately remove commit rights and Bugzilla admin rights from the problematic developers.

It's clear that the issue is now so big that this is the level at which corrective action needs to be taken.
The point of an app store is to make money for the app store owner. The owner charges "rent" to put your app in its store. The rent is a cut of your earnings. So, given this fact - do you think putting Google Play on its Tizen would benefit Samsung? Because then the marketplace would still be google's and the revenue would still be theirs..

Amazon Marketplace is not Google play is it? So the revenue from it is going to amazon.

Customer versus Merchant: Two Sides to a Chargeback
From my experience you are probably correct.

Flamewars are a result of touched emotions. If parts of my identity depend on the color of a desktop (e.g. because I've used it for 10 years) a color change will infuriate me and I may start a flamewar. This usually doesn't happen with server technology (most people couldn't care less about the internal workings of a server. They will never see it).

Additionally: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikeshedding - server software looks far more complicated than desktop software, so many people will think they understand the topics at hand and will talk about changes in the desktop software. Greater participation increases the risk of flamewars.

Nope. We have started to use a common set of base styles ( https://github.com/samanpwbb/fresh-start ) but those are basically a reset.css + columns, etc.
Looks like the Android bosses are comfortable with it. http://www.wired.com/business/2013/05/exclusive-sundar-picha...

Q. Is it a problem for Google that Samsung is so dominant, and makes almost all the money on the platform?

Pichai: I realize this gets played up in the press a lot. Samsung is a great partner to work with. We work with them on pretty much almost all our important products. Here’s my Samsung Galaxy S4. [Pichai holds up the phone.]

Look, Samsung plays a critical role in helping Android be successful. To ship great experiences, you need hardware and software together. The relationship is very strong on a day-to-day basis and on a tactical basis. So I’m not that concerned. Historically the industry has had long stable structures. Look at Microsoft and Intel. They were very codependent on one another, but it served both of them well. When I look at where computing needs to go, we need innovation in displays, in batteries. Samsung is a world leader in those technologies.

Building Search
I basically agree. However, if you trust KeePasses implementation of AES-CBC and you consider the fact that the IV will be randomly generated for every file version, you're betting on AES-CBC not leaking any information about the plain-text (which hopefully some expert already checked).

I don't know whether the AES implementation in KeePass has been checked by someone considered an expert yet.

Student Debt and the Crushing of the American Dream
Ask HN: What are some amazing business books to read?
I want to learn more about the business world and how to do business/investment(esp. in the tech world but not necessarily).

I want to learn from the greatest business people and I don't want to have to re-invent the wheel myself.

I am a software engineer and I already had a startup experience of my own (and I am currently working at another one in SF) -- so I am not exactly a beginner.

I am really interested in books where the writer is talking about why certain tech businesses failed or succeeded. (I'd also be interested in biographies of great business leaders). Do you know any such books?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

How The Web Design Trend of Parallax Scrolling Has Faded
There was a time, not so long ago when a majority of new sites that we were seeing in website showcase galleries were parallax. It was really interesting at first, but like almost any trend, it gets bigger like a bubble and eventually it pops and the trend fades away. This situation happened to parallax scrolling too. It was a big thing and people were insane about it, but… it faded.
As someone who runs jobs on giant clusters day in day out, I just looked at my last job. It indeed had input data of ~100GB. However size of input data is misleading. Job does a lot of processing and generates ~5TB of intermediate data and it took 800+ machine hours to complete. If I'd ran that on my desktop I would be waiting for a month to finish. On cluster it took ~4 hours.

I'd to smile at the statement "Is more data always better? Hardly". There is old saying the world of data scientists: There is no data like more data. Yes, the value of it may be diminishing but when your competitor is trying to squeeze out gain in second decimal, you are probably better off accepting more data.

So the moral of the story is, all these really depends. People do get fired for buying clusters. Modern cluster management software track several utilization metrics and someone some day would going to look at it and point out how bad decision it was.

Show HN: Chocolate Demo: online node.js and coffeescript IDE [video]
I completely disagree. Single threaded conversations are hijacked by the loudest and often most annoying commenters, don't allow interesting diversions, don't allow recovery from dead end conversations, don't organize information naturally, and are just generally horrible. They quickly follow Godwin's law, and there is very little chance for recovery. A few comments by idiots and the thread is lost.

Hacker News without threaded replies would be a disaster. The most interesting discussions are often thread branches, and I'm very thankful much of the uninteresting stuff and endless self-important debate is isolated where it belongs - in a thread.

In simple cases, as with a few comments on a photo by someone with 500 friends, threads are overkill and likely to degrade the conversation. On large board with hundreds of commenters, threads are essential.

Your points are either wrong or symptoms of bad UIs, not threaded comments.

Understood only by programmers? Have you tested that theory? It's wrong. Threads are all over the internet and used competently by all kinds of people. Even my mother understands threads.

Hard to follow a thread? I can't even describe how much better threaded comments are than Iroquote, even if horizontal scrolling is required.

So yeah, I disagree 100%.
Let me make a simple observation here:

In the Paper of Catherine McGeoch and her co-author Cong Wang, they write:

"...As a case in point, our second project compares the V5 hardware chip used in our first study to a V6 chip that became operational after the study was completed. V6 is three to five times faster than V5, and can solve problems as large as n = 502...."

In other words, during the time it took to set up the algorithm and perform the study, Moore's law had been able to enable a classical approach to go five times faster. I am a big supporter of anything that does quantum computing but one should never lose sight of Moore's law.

Yeah I figured that out when it first came out, I just got the picture notification, saves the file in /data/, I then don't read the notification yet and copy the files out to my /sdcard

I'm sure it'd be easy to create an application to listen for the event and copy out the file for later "use".

I was assuming it was going to be a encrypted jpeg file on disk to make it a bit harder.

Be careful to check that this new Nexus 7 doesn't have any features disabled before you buy one. The tethering is entirely disabled on on my Nexus 7 3G, bought outside of any contract or carrier, as it is for everyone else (search for "Nexus 7 hotspot", although that's all after the fact, this little tidbit never featured on the Nexus 7 product page or specifications).

I can't for the life of me imagine why they did that, it's ruined the Nexus brand for me.

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes.
Exchanges charge their own fees in any case which Bloomberg passes on to the end client with no markup, hence they don't really care about the fact that it goes through Bloomberg (in-fact because Bloomberg make it easy to subscribe to new exchanges Bloomberg is probably a net positive for the exchanges).

Insider trading is a risk, but no-more so than with everyone else in the financial industry. If you work in finance typically there's pretty tight restrictions on what you're allowed to trade on a personal account (i.e. no shorting, no holding equities for less than 30 days, etc.) and you have to register any non-blind investments (both so things like insider trading can be tracked but also to prevent conflicts of interest).
Looks like fun

But why would I waste developer time doing that if I can only do db.table.insert(obj) - in MongoDB for example (obj is a JS object)

Also, finding all objects with a field named 'field1' and value '3' is slower if you do that in a relational DB (and that's the simplest case)
It is. Personally, I think the analysts were wrong and Next should have continued with the Cube and the Station. They just should have cut down on profit margins slightly to accumulate more sales, and then return the margins to normal after the device became popular.

The iMac is so popular now, and it's a closed system as well. Granted, the world is quite different now than it was in 1995, but they could have pulled it off.

I'm using GNUstep on my Linux box, and the software behind Next was 20, perhaps 30 years ahead of its time. If you compare it to OS X, you'll see that barely anything has changed besides a few graphical updates and a few nifty utilities such as Notification Center and Spotlight.

It was a great system. But keeping the hardware and software integrated might have allowed the company to keep its true vision intact. They only needed to cut back on the style a bit.
A release of Android 4.3 for the Nexus 4 fixing the Bluetooth bugs and the WiFi bugs and the battery bugs and the IPSEC VPN bugs would be nice, because frankly my previous Galaxy S2 worked a lot better, even with Gingerbread 2.3.5. Wish I'd never bothered upgrading.

It's a shame because the Nexus 7 has been for the most part trouble-free.

New Gravity Forms Add-on – Surveys
There's a theorist from ETH who also has been working with the D-Wave computers, and visited Scott at MIT last week. There should be a new post about it soon, I'm sure it will be mostly cold water.
Big kudos to Regal/UA here. Descriptive Audio services for the blind in movie theaters used to be extremely hard to access, with closed-captioning not far behind. The stars had to align; a movie you wanted to see not only had to be available with accessibility options, but also in a theater that was outfitted with the technology. Most multiplexes had the descriptive services available in a single theater, so if that's not where they programmed the movie you wanted to see, too bad. (The systems are also frequently broken or not turned on, and the poor teenagers who staff these places understandably don't really know anything about it.)

Making this a standard part of movie-going (rather than a special-case) is making a big difference.

You are wrong. You ignored the second part of that statement: "or if they do, it's not nearly as visible as something like 'votes'." By ignoring that, it makes your declaration of "Wrong" wrong. Any assertions made by this are also "Wrong."

"In my experience however adding voting does not lead to annoying comments."

In my experience however adding voting does lead to annoying comments.

This completely proves my point, and I can now move on.

"I'm not acting in any way."

That's wrong. You have to be acting in some way. The lack of acting would mean you aren't participating in the flame war you started. Indeed, that statement is not only wrong, but makes you a liar.

You know, it's so much easier to act like the OP. You don't have to think, or put for much effort. Just mouth off.

Flat design is great for mediocre designers like me
You are reading things I didn't say (but thank you for replying otherwise I might not have realized that people would read my comment as me implying the event was faked).

I'm not in any way claiming that the scene was fake or staged. I was expressing an opinion about how it 'looked to me'. i.e. when I look at this photograph the colours and lighting remind me of pictures that have been taken in a studio or with artificial lighting. I was making that point in the context of this winning a competition for press photography where you would not expect a photo to have the look of something seen in a studio.

That is all I was saying.

If I wanted to make the claim that something was faked I would say so.

I am claiming nothing about the event, just the look of this individual photograph and its merits independent of the event it depicts.
