It's possible. At first you'll have to make your device's bootloader unlocked, this is the hardest step of all since the method to do this is different to each variant of device and usually require root access. The second step is installing a recovery ROM which will allow you to install custom ROM. Finally, you find the custom ROM that suits your need and install it. Cyanogen Mod and AOSP provide almost if not the same as pure Google experience. Please note that S4 is very new so custom ROM may not be perfectly stable yet. You should find more information at forum xda-developers where developers are actively work on it.
I would suggest, with as generic the details provided are, that B2B to enable B2C is always going to trend on the maximum benefit to the C for the best balanced effort of the B.

So IMHO, your best bet is to get Product 2 out the door and crowdsource the value and best features to roll-out of Product 1 for your Product 2 customers.

"Lean in", "get'r done", and "just start" all are great statements that get to the point; your best place for you to start is where you can get to market fastest, and share with your customers your roadmap.

I hope that helps in some way.

Cheers
You seem to have the workaround already, though: make a separate account. I'm not going to argue that it's a good thing that you need to do that, but it doesn't seem worse than having to e.g. sign up for a separate Skype account to use Skype.
I know, I really like it. I'm surprised this article has flopped. This is right up most of the readers' alley.
How about going into STEM to understand how the world works a little better?

Microsoft's decision to include a video download button in their app had to be an intentional attempt to force Google's hand - it was obviously specifically added, and it's no secret that Google's been threatening to sue people who do that.
While this comment was pretty strongly worded, I think the ideas of "use native components whenever you can" and "don't reinvent what you don't have to" are usually good ones to follow. This project certainly has use in some circumstances (like the author's, for example) but I think it's important that any potential users also consider the above.

Microsoft doesn't have the APIs necessary to enable ads.
Looks like this submission is getting flagged as well. I guess this story really isn't showing Google is good light if Google fans are in such heavy damage control mode. It looks like they have a veto on what appears on the HN front page.

Look, you may not like Microsoft and even its response but why try to bury a legitimate news item? Are there not enough Google I/O posts related stories topping the the front page?

Can anyone who flagged this and the other related stories come out and tell us why they feel the need to abuse their moderator privileges?

From the HN guidelines:

"If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.)"

Looks like PG didn't guess that people with good karma will want to abuse it to bury stories they don't want others to see in such a constant way.

Indeed the bitcoin system does. However, individual bitcoins (i.e. ledger entries) do not.
Considering that XMPP federation has been turned off for some time now, this really only hurts users using XMPP clients.

I was wondering why my friends with non-Google Jabber IDs were never showing up as online, and one day figured out federation was turned off.

This is as if a few months ago your email provider silently discarded emails to and from other domains, and just today abandoned SMTP and IMAP.

The true failure happened way back when federation was abandoned, not today.
I would guess at least an order of magnitude more Enterprise web applications currently in use are written in PHP than Javascript and Ruby combined.
That's one of the worst analogies that I've ever read. This is a piece of functional, well written code, that you may not like but it in no way is going to be harmful to the developers not the end users. If it's not good less people will use it because users will not like the UI.
Thanks for the link, however this app contains ads.
Thanks, will fix :)
So far they don't seem to have even taken down YouTube ad blockers from their own Chrome store, unlike video downloaders that support YouTube.
True, charges were not dropped. I'm mad that she had to sign a guilty plea. Even if the terms are light, as I'd expect and as they should be, she shouldn't have to plead guilty to anything.

These "zero tolerance" policies turn into decisions with zero judgement and sense. Indeed, they're intended to remove human judgement from the equation.
Aaron Swartz was the same. Almost the entire page was filled with articles offering different perspectives, from Lessig, Cory Doctorow, TarenSK, Quinn Norton, NYT..

So the apps I wrote in PHP are scientifically worse than the ones I wrote in Ruby? I had no idea!
It's easy to do it through American subsidiaries of Canadian banks like Harris. Not so easy for US-only banks and, as far as I know, impossible for virtual US banks.
This has been reiterated over and over again and is just a bunch of fluff. It doesn't explain why PHP is bad with examples and while I know there are a ton of sites that do, many people including myself have used PHP successfully in the past.

I will refer you to an even better quote:
'Software engineers are becoming like "photographers". They spend so much time arguing over the right lens type, focal length, camera body, flash and other sets of tools until they discover they've already missed their opportunity at taking some great shots. Software devs are now doing the same thing, arguing over the tools they use, wasting precious time instead of getting work done.'
Don't forget google fiber! I would say that that is 'new' enough.

(and wave, and kinda docs, and now)

PS: I think we should be hard on companies in general, but its important to reward the good behavior too (maybe).
Well, all I can say is that some Google fans, employees and shareholders seem to be just like Google, espouse openness etc. but be the first to quell free speech if it shows their company in a bad way. And there are a lot of such folks on here and looks like they form a Digg-style bury brigade.
In your hindsight bit, don't forget to look at not just wheels but every other piece of equipment on the spacecraft. Otherwise, you're just playing a game of whack-a-mole. Add more reaction wheels, then the coolant system fails. Add redundancies there, then the computer fails. Sure, you can include twice as much of everything, but then you end up with something that's vastly more expensive.
> This makes the derived class a supertype, being a larger set that fully includes the set of its parent class.

This is not how "supertype" is typically defined in the literature. I'm not sure what "set of its parent class" means, but I believe the way to look at this is to consider the universe of all possible objects.

In that universe, you will have some objects that are instances of the derived class. Each of those is also an instance of the base class. You may also have instances of the base class that are not instances of the derived class (they may be straight instances of the base, or be instances of some other sibling derived class).

That means the set of instances of the base class completely includes the set of instances of the derived class (since every derived is also a base). Hence, the base class is a supertype. Conversely, since the set of instances of the derived class may not include some instances of the base class, it is a subtype.

> You’re adding elements to a product type.

I don't think you can cleanly map classes to tuple types. Consider a derived class that adds no fields. In that case, it's not an identical type to its base class, but it would be an identical product type.
I doubt Apple would do anything without Google's permission regarding this. Google probably has the same deal with Apple with the built-in YouTube app where there weren't any ads either.
I think there's definitely some advantages to learning native mobile app development, especially if you're more of a strongly-typed language developer.

I've personally gone from all web development to probably 80% native mobile, and I really enjoy it a lot better. I find front end web development extremely frustrating compared to Android or iOS development, though both have annoying quirks when it comes to the layout engines.
"I have yet to attempt a group chat."
Regardless of what Google does within its own platform, he still compared what Google did on iOS to what Apple did on iOS.

FWIW, I have Android and when I downloaded and launched Hangouts it automatically logged me in. I assume iMessage was similar - but a third-party app wouldn't be for obvious reasons.
Got it. You don't like PHP. I don't think that has much to do with this announcement. I don't like Java, but I do not feel offended that GAE supports it.
The Nobel prize was specifically invented so Nobel would be remembered for something other than blowing things up, after he read an obituary describing him as "the merchant of death"
I've noticed the same thing. Actually, I think my girlfriend pointed it out and was thinking of writing a suitably encrypted multi-device-compatible IM client at one point.
I am glad someone took the time to debunk the article in [2]. The original article, even with references, did not sit right with me. Partly because of the sensational rhetoric and partly because it contradicted some of what I personally know about physical training. Of course, my knowledge could be wrong but it is hard to convince me otherwise if you use sensational rhetoric with or without scientific references.
I completely agree. She went back on her story that she was doing a science experiment while being interviewed, but everybody wants to stick to that story anyway. It's almost like everybody in the world wants her to be a scientist, and I pay dearly every time I raise this point here. I don't get it.

This definition is not the definition of fiat money

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fiat%20money

"money (as paper currency) not convertible into coin or specie of equivalent value

Since Bitcoin is not intrinsically valuable (it's only usable as a speculation instrument, or medium of exchange), and since it is not backed by gold or other form of specie, in monetary economic terms it would be described as a fiat money
Really? I've heard all these ridiculous analogies but for some reason no one's every written up actual PHP examples to explain why this is true (Most of the examples in that link are weird things I've never seen anyone actually do).

I've spent the last 8 months writing a fairly complex application as a REST API entirely in PHP and I can't say that I've ever run into any weird scenarios where I think to myself, "Damn, this is sure it like have a hammer but with claws on both sides."

My code is very OOP relying heavily on my own classes and not quite as much on the built-in PHP functions. I have also found that when I need to do something odd that there's usually a pre-built function already in PHP for doing it.

So if you're going to bash PHP at least throw out some actual PHP code and explain why it's bad (and make sure to point out that there's no other really good way to do it in PHP using you're own classes/methods).
They need to open source the CLR and rule the world
There are no weaknesses in XMPP. The issue are the protocols on the side, the ones that do video and voice. XMPP allows to chat and create a voice/video session, but:

1) the free protocols to do voice and video are not as good as the proprietary ones

2) it seems that every client use a different set of protocols for video and chat
Well, the app was released last week or so, Google chose this day to send it(or was it sent earlier and did MS release it only today?).
Make sure you file DMCA takedown notices for anyone who ever makes any similar icons, though.
It's probably due to all the excitement from Google I/O that stole the spotlight away. I'm working on a fork to get Vundle working with it. I think I'm done. Just need to test it.
Yep. So, she has pled guilty, been placed on probation, will have to comply with the probation terms, been kicked out of her high school and sent to another school for child-criminals where I'm sure the education will be absolutely stellar, and there's probably about a 50% chance that this criminal record will follow her around for the rest of her life (somehow, it seems that a lot of these supposedly-sealed convictions end up on adult criminal background checks).

Job well done. One scientist eliminated from useful society.
Does anyone know when Go 1.1 is available on App Engine?
True, but in this case, they were, because she was blowing something up... not conducting a science experiment. Which was the point of his post.
All 75 (ie: 100%) of the groups that the IRS selected for an audit based on their name were granted tax-exempt status by the IRS. So no, that is not a good criteria to base an audit on. And I find it appalling that you believe that it is acceptable to treat differently anyone the current administration thinks is their political opponent... and that you think it's a "slam dunk" that the IRS wasted resources auditing 75 groups, and then granted every single one of their applications.
What? How is it being flagged? I think the community on here is balanced, and discussions are free of any vitriol.
iMessage is transparent, so that doesn't bother me. I have three [edit: four] solutions: GTalk, Email, Text, and Facebook. Except GTalk, they're all passive (i.e. I get messages from them on my phone without the app being open). Now that hangouts are available, it's 100% passive. This doesn't seem like that bad of an outcome to me.
if you read through it, (2) specifically is about usage and adoption, not monetization. commute in bay area is more limited to work and back -- most of the folks in east bay and south bay dont use / rely on public transport for their weekend travel.

I recently left a job that was focused on developing PHP with a very different philosophy from how I would approach it.

I see PHP as a growing and evolving object-oriented programming language. I see it as a language to which design patterns can be applied, for which structured designs can be applied, and which has improved which each major release.

I also am keenly aware that it has a legacy and a reputation of being something else, a rapid prototyping environment for programmers that don't have exposure to other systems, and take it as a glorified template language for HTML.

But I don't see it that way, I look at projects like http://reactphp.org/ which brings Node.js-style evented programming, native support for ZMQ and websocket, and makes PHP a great language for developing web workers. (Though with some caveats, for instance, I use PHP for my own application because it's dependent on the cpanel xmlapi which is provided in PHP). But that really is my point, you can abstract PHP from it's humble web roots and be a productive programmer in it.
The most important metric is revenue. Can we get anyone to pay for the app. We have 250+ people sign up so far, but didn't have to pay us anything... Can we convert 25 of them to pay us $6.99/mo? Or will it be 2 of them?

Update... so far, no sales. But we have a queue of trial recommendations to fulfill, which we expect is a prerequisite to people paying us.

If we can't get people to pay up front, we'll switch to allowing them to upgrade, but not billing them until X days after signing up.

Whatever it takes to ethically maximize conversion-to-paid ratio.

Ask HN: How do I stop my form emails from ending up in spam?
My startup uses SendGrid, and about 20% of our form emails end up in spam. This number has been getting higher lately, and is worryingly high. Any way to counteract this?
Wow, this is exactly the same problem I have. I have an extremely broad skill set and often wonder how to market myself to give myself the most opportunities.
Would be interested in that too. What if I just hold me bitcoin wallet locally and and create ids for "critical" transactions that I use only through public internet access points.
So I should be able to manufacture pipe bombs because I'm curious how big the explosion is, then? Maybe I can try one out on my school's football field? No malicious intent, just curiosity to 'see what happens', so by your logic I should be square right?

Or perhaps I could study the inhalant properties of anthrax powder at my desk at work, because I have no malicious intent and just want 'see what happens'?

There's a difference between science and doing something reckless that could, theoretically, endanger others without scientific safeguards in place. Public commentary on this issue is completely ignoring that.
I've been waiting for vine search. Thanks.
Frankly, I'm not sure. A stripped browser + Node.js sounds pretty compelling, but there are tons of projects using Javascript or offering Javascript bindings right now. It could be Qt 5, for example.
The "they will hike prices 10x when it's popular" meme is pretty tiresome.

I tried to address it back at the time, I invite you to read my thoughts again: https://plus.sandbox.google.com/110401818717224273095/posts/... and happy to debate again. But please read it first.

GAE at the time was running as an experimental/beta product. There was no support, there was no SLA, and there was no deprecation policy. When a product is experimental or beta, eventually the time comes around when we need to look at next steps.

We concluded that the pricing was insanely low at the time and did not make for a viable long-term product. And when we talked to customers, they absolutely didn't want us to discontinue the product, but instead they wanted us to invest in it and provide support.

So that's what we decided to do. In working with customers, we determined that (after reasonable optimizations), the vast majority of apps would experience 2-5x increase in bills. Obviously we lost some customers because of this, but much fewer than you think, and mostly (but not always) because they were simply architected in ways that badly matched GAE, or had business models that assumed a cost-of-operations that was unrealistic (either on GAE or anywhere else), and that we had in effect been subsidizing.

GAE targets being the "best" option, including cost - but you need to include the entire cost, and factor in ease of use, SRE operations, durability, scalability, etc. We're happy to duke it out with any apples-to-apples comparison for total cost of ownership.
Yep I told our designer that. Rotating text then rotating it back is how you can fuzzy your text, if you want to replicate it :)

Dave Jones from the EEVBlog does a very good short introduction to dBs.

http://www.eevblog.com/2009/12/13/eevblog-49-decibels-dbs-fo...

dBs are always relational or relative in nature.

The relationship is between two signals or one signal and an agreed reference. If the relationship is between a signal and an agreed reference, the convention is to append an identifier to the "dB" unit, e.g. dBV or dBm. 0dBV is 1V since the agreed reference for dBV is 1V.

Hope this helps.
I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone praise Wordpress code if they've had to work with it, apart from actual contributors to the WP core of course. Wordpress is popular almost entirely because it's easy to deploy and has a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes which mostly just work.

You could probably build a competing CMS in, say Laravel 4, replace the plugin system with Composer packages or something similar, use Twig and PDO out of the box, and have a much more elegant and modern system that probably almost no one would use, unless the user experience was just as brainless as it is with Wordpress.

Which is also one reason why, I think, despite all the arguments in their favor, static site generators (which do get mentioned now and then as an alternative to WP) still have a while to go before they're ready for mainstream use. It's not enough that it's well coded, it has to be easy too, and easy wins out over pretty every time.
XMPP/Jabber has the concept of Transports to address this very problem.

Sure, you usually get a common denominator of features between the various networks, but presence and chat usually is enough.

I think the article is designed to be provocative click-bait and shouldn't anywhere near be the final word on the subject. The headline emphatically says that women shouldn't run. Then within the article he clarifies and says that his advice only refers to the following:

>> This is about running, cycling, stair-climbing, or elliptical cardio done for hours at or above 65 percent of your max heart rate.

So right away the headline is misleading and the entire article is suspect because of that. I don't have statistics in front of me, but because of the busy lives that people lead I doubt that most people even come close to qualifying for the hours and hours of physical stress on the human body that he talks about. Men and women shouldn't feel uncomfortable with a moderate amount of physical activity. If its running you enjoy or sports, go out there and do it.

My prediction last night = a tiny, tiny trickle of sales at first, because we have missed on some important assumptions.

But ultimately we have no idea what'll happen, hence why it's so valuable to get the product out in the wild.
I don't get it.

Maybe it's because actual, grown-up scientists who nurtured their youthful interest in science by blowing things up were hoping that she'd be impressed by their support and decide to become a scientist herself.
That's 4. The old "off by one" error.
