It's completely ridiculous to ethically or legally equate trespass and theft on/with physical property with data copying and access. Whereas I can be expected to know you don't want me looking through your briefcase, given a link to something without any context is nowhere near as clear. Your example makes sense only for data where someone is guessing usernames and passwords because they know they are trying to circumvent some access control. It absolutely does not make sense for guessing addresses.

Sending requests to servers must be likened to finding publicly posted data. E.g, Buildings 1, 2, and 3 all have neat flyers, so you look at building 4's flyer. Oops, that was a felony.

If your power adapter is in glass case 1, and I curiously glance at glass case 2 and see the undergarments was I wrong?
Very smooth on this side too (Chrome 26 on OS X). The graphics looks a bit jagged. Is that a WebGL restriction or is it the demo itself? I am not very familiar with WebGL.
I don't think Square can come to the UK in their current form. The card reader, although could technically work, will not be allowed by the credit card companies here. Square would need to make a small chip and pin reader for phones, similar to what PayPal have done.

Are confusing Square with Stripe? If so I am in the beta and its brilliant. You can get in the beta by emailing them.
Twitter Bootstrap vs. Foundation 4: Which is right for you?
Who do you think wrote this law?
Many don't, and basic debit accounts don't offer 'standard' cards (VISA, etc...). Japan also has a culture of using cash everywhere (I have seen people handling the equivalent of 1000s $ in cash numerous times), and it will be interesting to see what square can do there. Interesting challenges, and definitely something that needs improvements in Japan.
You can hire a once-a-week maid service (it's not that expensive).

Oh, thanks, now I know what I would do in that situation: pay some professional cleaner to come to the office when it's my turn.
They've had standalone systems like Edy and other systems tied into retailers on their phones for years. Given that Japan is hugely a cash based society, I wonder if this will really take off.
Wow. I used to hang out on the kitesurf email lists on yahoo back in the day, Saul used to post open source kitesurf patterns, I made a few kites (of my own design.)

Then he went on to start Monkey Kites, which I think he lets his sister run (it's now called http://www.griffinkites.com.au )

Don Montague used to come on the forums talking about giant ship kites that would tow a oil tanker across the ocean saving fuel.

It's interesting to see that they're working together on a non-kite idea.

Also, I bet that spinning wing chops birds and bats up with 100% efficiency. Maybe they plan on sending it much much higher in the atmosphere (you could tether lots to an airship which in turn was teathered to the ground)
No it can't. C is not the speed limit.
Top native performance is achieved by an ungodly combination of SIMD intrinsics, compiler-assisted optimization, cache-aware data-structures and assembly.
I just updated a colleagues registration to a medical imaging professional body by working back from my own crap login/password which they chose. This was done to save him some time on a busy day. I noticed that his user ID was just a few digits different to mine so tried the same increment on the password. Surprise! I'm not sure how much damage one could really do, but deep frustration could easily be inflicted.
Chrome (okay, I only looked at Chromium) is ugly, has basically no way to adapt it to one’s needs, runs out of RAM quickly, is slow and needs updating all the time.

Not really a difference to IE.

> isn't tearing preferable to input lag?

In a properly written app, vsync should not cause input lag despite gamer superstitions. But there are lots of not-properly written apps where this is a problem.

WebGL / Chrome should solve the problem in some other way, not disabling vsync. Or using adaptive vsync if available as a workaround.

The culprit here might be the ANGLE OpenGLES2-on-D3D9 wrapper that Chrome uses, which is notoriously slow on synchronous operations like vsync, glGetError or glFinish.
Together with all the other things people pour down their drain, some extra acidic, some extra caustic

If the problem is acidity, throw in some chemical base. But the main issue seems to be that's organic matter that ends up being consumed by bacteria

There are two things at play here. One is that not everyone is cut out to be a multi-specialist or a startup founder. Another is that there are lots of people who are, but they don't think they are capable of it.

The only way you can find out if this type of startup life is for you is by trying it. The first type will try and fail, but the second type will succeed if only they try.
...and web.
Pretty impressive. Too bad it doesn't have collision detection yet. I love the reflection!

Another step closer...to console games on the browser.
Not so sure. The Internet and the browser make many scenarios very easy (Joel Spolsky makes a great case). Jeff Attwood, with ego firmly in hand, named a law after himself that says any software that can be written, will be written for the browser.

While entirely possible, that's an extreme view, and maybe not very realistic.

The web's "viability" as you put it, will naturally shrink into its natural niche. First and foremost it's probably good to remember that the web relies on a transport layer. There are apps (web sites, email and so on) that live on top of that. That transport layer is what makes the web compelling, but that's not the only possibility (or future) that that layer affords us.

I think the real viability question is not the web, but rather data ownership. Users' personal information created Facebook, user knowledge created Stack Exchange, and user behaviour generates Google's income (amongst many examples on the web).

Users that are the raison d'être for these web sites have no power over, or control of their data. And it's that fact that will shift (and on mobile, already is shifting) focus back to native client apps that are completely decoupled from the browser. These apps use the Internet as a transport layer, in much the same way a browser does.

The shift then, as I see it, is towards one in which the balance of power over data is maintained in a natural equilibrium.

In that world, the Stack Exchanges will do well online because their acquisition of user knowledge benefits users directly. The Facebooks and Googles will (I imagine) remain relevant, but not in the way they'd like to be.

In conclusion, what the article posits will probably come to be, to a degree and for a while.

But it ain't the future.
You guys did a great job with this library. We have just added it to JotForm.

Given how much people talk, you'd think that when the pile is small is when you need to be all the more careful about how you treat people if you want that to ever change...

For my part I have an mental list of both vc's I'd love to work with again, and VC's I not only will never, ever take anything from again even if it's just a free pen, and while I won't badmouth them publicly, there are certainly some I like to think I will slide just a little bit quicker into obscurity thanks to the odd situations where their name might have come up in conversation..
In real life, it's just an animated image, format doesn't matter...
Thank you - I'll investigate. I've only ever got funny looks when I say 'how far can you dim it' to people with devices I might want to use in the dark.
Actually, a lot of white people visit Africa and do a lot of good, still -- both businesspeople and (usually religious) charities and development organizations. Largely enough good to make up for the big NGOs and UN, and some of the legacy of colonialism and the cold war.
I remember one of my first experience with a Japanese ATM... I put an extra 0 at the end and man, was I surprised when all that cash just kept coming out.

I'd prefer to see Square be able to work with Suica, Pasmo, and all the other common ways that people actually pay for things here in Japan (besides cash of course)

could it be to do with heterogeneity of data? and multitude of sources, difficult to link in the absence of clear standards?
I hadn't seen WebGL look so pretty and fluid, if they can create a whole game like this, it might be a pretty viable platform.

The link in the upper right corner gives a Drupal PDOException error, though.
There are a lot of caveats to the stats.

First, look at the browser marketshare table.

Notice how Net Applications shows Chrome only at 16% while the others are close to 40%? Wonder why?

Net Applications attempts to measure what individual users are using, while Statcounter tries to measure how much of browsing is done though a particular browser. That is, if you browse 1000 webpages a day and use Chrome, and your girlfriend browses only 50 but uses Firefox, Statcounter counts you as 20 times more marketshare than your girlfriend! In this hypothetical scenario, Statcounter will give Firefox 5% of marketshare and Chrome 95%, even though half of people use Firefox.

This is like setting up a lookout on a road in a typical US city and concluding that the Ford Crown Victoria is the most popular car in America, based on the fact that you see it most since the taxicabs and police patrol cars drive back and forth all day(since you're not tracking the license plate) while the best selling cars like the Honda Civic/Accord, Toyota Camry/Corolla are not driven as much during a typical day. So, if you're writing a Chrome app, you're targeting only around 16% of people, not 40%.

Google bundles Chrome by default with Flash, Acrobat and Java updates which are installed on 98% of computers by paying a lot for it, Mozilla has nowhere near the huge ad revenues like Google does. Not to mention how Chrome is pushed on Google properties like Gmail and Youtube. I keep seeing a "Slow browser? Upgrade to Chrome." message on Gmail sometimes while using the latest version of Opera.

The biggest challenge Chrome apps will have is that they won't run on the hottest devices right now, the iPad and iPhones. Apple prohibits any sort of native API or dynamic code in iOS apps so Chrome apps will be confined to HTML5 and WebGL.
I used to be a Firefox fan but not anymore, I made chrome my default browser and I am highly satisfied. Now I use FF just to test while developing things. I love lightness of chrome and have shifted all dev related work to chrome. I wont be surprised if chrome becomes the first choice all the developers in next couple of years.
Good post! Though from experience it's never worked as smoothly as described when in a team setting. "Oh, you forgot to check features 1-40 in all major browsers?" Rollback button : engage
Flat design, yada yada. Here's what I need from iOS 7 as a developer
Crackers exist and it is a shame that the western world punishes security research and shifts the blame towards the "hackers" instead of trying to get these vulnerabilities fixed, where they originated.

In the coming (or ongoing) cyber-war - who wins? The countries that welcomed crackers or those who jail them?

Note: I am not advocating breaking into people's computers. Just a community that welcomes security input.
I think there is going to be a big departure in what developers want, and what consumers want. For the most part, over the last 10 years, those two groups were largely using the same computers and OS's, but that has already changed, and will continue to do so. If Google can get their platform in front a ton of people, the developers will most likely follow (although they maybe using different machines than the consumers).

On a random side note, just picked up a Samsung Chromebook. Loaded up crouton and Ubuntu. This thing definitely puts my 5 year old craptop to shame. If you already have a Macbook, you might not be as impressed, but for the price, this thing can't be beat. So to answer the question " What does your desktop look like a year from now?" Assuming the Chromebook holds up that long (although even if it doesn't, I can easily afford a new one), Ubuntu/Linux for dev(ish) work, and Chrome OS for browsing and non-work stuff (switching between the two is instant, and you can even stream music in Chrome OS and listen to it while in Ubuntu).
I think that one of the most valuable points this article makes is the "keep it simple" message, the apple ad example is particularly spot-on. It's great advice especially when you're trying to promote/market a new service/app/whatever. When you're into product development, you'll always tend to be slightly technical when you describe it. Removing any technical reference during the first approach is good to bear in mind. Unless you're aiming to a particular market, 99% of your users won't be that savvy.
Another canary example.. if you ever go to an small independent restaurant and they start using grocery store cheap napkins at the tables when they hadn't before, chances are its days are numbered.
Yeah, the tooling of Java is nice. But it kinda seems like Java would be not usable without them. Also the code-generators are giving me the willies D:
No its very true.

Money remains a big motivation factor for those who don't have it.

In general people don't get motivated by what they already have.
Where does the ball come from?
this was on the frontpage already a while ago, cant find the HN discussion link but this was the linked content:
http://metaphysicaldeveloper.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/webgl-...

Its looks nice and all, but these kind of WebGL demos arent all that impressive anymore now that we have seen things like the unreal engine running in the browser. http://www.unrealengine.com/html5/

There isnt really alot you cannot do with WebGL today. If i showed you this as a compiled C++ demo, most probably wouldnt be impressed.
Do you mean to argue that the laws that govern industrial food safety and waste disposal ought also to apply to homemade food? (I hope not, since I've been known to grill and eat a medium-rare burger!)

It's reasonable to hold large commercial operations to stricter standards. I doubt that any homemade byproducts are disposed of "properly," but the impact of homemade Greek yogurt must be a tiny fraction of the commercial impact, and I don't think anyone is prepared to regulate what individuals do with milk after they buy it.
Curiously I get this message in both Chrome 27 and 29 on OS X:

Whoopsie daisy!
Your browser doesn't seem to support HTML5 and WebGL. The best thing to do is upgrade to a modern browser that supports all the awesome things the web has to offer.
This video (https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/324431687) is from the V8 guys. Its mainly about V8 and the massive complexity of their codebase because of all the tricks they have to do to work around the problems with making js performant (even if its still unpredictable and memory intensive). At the end they cover a bit about the dart vm.

For anyone who has worked on a large codebase with a fundamentally unsound architecture or inconsistent requirements you can feel their pain and understand their motiviation in making dart. Basically they are trying to show that if they just change the architecture of js a little bit to make dart then they can get twice (currently) the performance and a lot less complexity. They knew they could do this because they used to work on smalltalk vms. (I think that in another way dart is actually an algol-like trojan horse for the invasion of smalltalk because there's a load of ex-smalltalkers on the team and you can never cure those guys).

What's a little tragic about it is that they can't figure out why people aren't jumping all over dart (yet). The tragedy lies in the fact that they are partly responsible for it by hiding just how bad js is in terms of performance through their heroic efforts on V8. Then again the video is titled "Web Languages and VMs: Fast Code is Always in Fashion". The last word in the title shows that they probably do have their suspicions as to why people aren't immediately flocking to dart.
I use facebook daily and have around 50, normally when it goes over 50 I know I have to do some pruning. I use facebook to communicate with close personal friends. mostly it's kind of an extra email, I rarely use the feed, and post at most one status update per week.
Yes, people who are currently employed will have to take a few days off for this. As we're in The Netherlands that is usually no problem. One of the reasons we pay people for these two days is to compensate them for the two days off they'll have to sacrifice.

This is definitely cool, but I'm really holding out for Stripe to come to Japan. An easy API for web app monetization would make a big difference.

Well there are some restrictions imposed on Tesla by this load.

See http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-borrows-150-million...

There is says that the loan requires Musk to have a 65% ownership of the company which of course is expensive to maintain when they are raising money.
Actually, it's an LED frontlit screen, not backlit. While this may seem like a small distinction, it is much easier on the eyes (I'm told).
Great resource. There's now so many startup spaces in London that it's time to be a bit more discerning.
Nope, with the likes of ActiveX they wanted more than just web browsing, they saw that net-delivered apps were the future. They just weren't as advanced/ambitious with their plans. Still, this will fail for Google as it did with MS, if that is indeed what they are trying to do.

I see a lot of jitter on a very fast Mac. (Safari 6.0.4).

Somebody who understands Web GL tell me -- developer's fault or browser's fault? It looks a little like numerical instability to me rather than a framerate issue per se, but I'm no 3D expert.

You’ve got to change your perspective. One million dollars is an insane amount of money for 99.9% of the world population. With that amount, there are limitless possibilities for things you can do that have a real impact on people.

Why couldn’t you be a philantropist with one million dollars? Pick a cause, start a foundation. For me, I’d set up a place where kids in less privileged areas can come after school and learn to channel their creativity through skills that they can use later on in live. A hacker school/maker space for street kids, if you will. But that’s me, I’m sure you have a passion for something that you can use.

From what I read, you’re thinking ass backwards. Your think you want 100’s of millions, be a prominent figure. But that’s not how it works. You get rich or famous by doing things you love to do with a passion. That’s the crux here, you have to find your passion. What drives you? What excites you? What do you love to do? Those are questions that you have to answer before you start coding on a random project. For these question, a coach/mentor could be really helpful. Good luck!
It's easy to get cynical about business articles and anything with "secret" in the title. I get that way myself. But since the demise of Bell Labs, it feels like there's a big void to be filled. It probably never will be filled in the same way, but I'm happy to see a big company take on big projects. Other than CERN or NASA, I don't hear too much in the news about big budget R&D / science projects.
Having strangers over for money

This is not really some sort of altruistic dinner club.
It's good progress all the same, but doesn't do much for the end user that still relies on an often shitty Internet connection.
FWIW, the company I work at just moved from a windows+office+outlook setup to google apps.

And it just worked. Very smooth migration.

Just a random datapoint, not claiming its a trend.
