As measured by the App store.

I would be surprised if the general population is the same distribution. People who go often to the app store probably update more often.

Still for developers it is a relevant number.

Wrong, it is not same service.
At the same time, for a developer, those who never go on the app store aren't really important. But I agree, it is likely misrepresenting actual figures.
This is very good news. I'm glad to finally see some real development of video encoding. I was disappointed to see Google put its weight behind VP9, which was basically the same set of technologies as H.264, with (almost) the same set of patent encumbrances.

The ideas behind Daala, while not revolutionary, are enough to make it quite different from everything else out there. I also hope it means it won't infringe on every patent out there, just some of them.
Do you think that exposure makes the marketplace more attractive or actually has a role in helping make hits?

Even though app search services do exist -- like Quixey https://www.quixey.com I'm not sure if they make sense for most consumers. How do you currently search for apps? Is it by functionality or because you hear about it from a friend?
this, plus the lack of completion in the search box.
I have this same argument about the Android numbers presented by Google. But as another reply to your post already pointed out, these are the numbers that are probably the most relevant to a would-be app creator.
For non-apple devs: 93% of users are on iOS 6, 6% iOS 5, 1% other older.
I mean, they cannot see fonts at that banal resolution.

My eyesight is better and I like it a lot. Thats why I could run a 2560 native resolution on a 15" display.

The screens work fine if you are willing to look at non native resolution screens.

Also CRTS do not look like crap when on a non native resolution. DPI scaling in windows and linux just sucks. That much is a fact.
I'm also a Thinkpad fan and the displays really disappoint me. With my most recent purchase I had to switch from 15" to 14" because the changes to 16:9 and humungous bezels would have made the 15" too large. Thankfully they haven't started using glossy screens which would be the final straw. I look at a lot of text (yes in Linux) so resolution matters.

My desktop has two 1920x1200 displays. I think I got amongst the last monitors sold as 16:10.
You are wrong. The body can and does assimilate dietary fat into adipose tissue.

Low-carb diets work by reducing total dietary calories; a secondary contributing cause is satiety from an increase in protein.
The compilers I use usually do

high-level language -> native code

Unless you mean compiler IR as low-level language.
All a gas station needs to do is hold enough batteries to match the rate of customer arrival over the time it takes to recharge a battery, plus a safety factor of X. Stations can add more batteries to their pool over time as more people start driving electric vehicles. And instead of daily fuel tankers, occasionally a truck comes to the station with replacement batteries for those detected to be worn out. It could be a really great system if Tesla makes it easy to setup and handles most of the work automatically delivering new batteries when demand increases, and replacing worn out ones.

Someone should do the math of how many 'equivelent fill ups' it takes to pay for a battery, and then subtract that from the total amount of fill ups possible before wearing out and electricity cost. I have a feeling this could be a very profitable investment.
Well, we are not selling twitter bootstrap, we are building full website by gathering content from the client and loading it in the template, we are also doing customisation in the existing template.
We have also built themes for the Content Management System based on twitter bootstrap and foundation templates.

Also we have give due credit to Twitter Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation: check the footer.

Instead of trying to be native in a browser just be native on the plateform you bring the product. The web is not good for everything.
I was using "your" in the third-person, a quirk of the English language that is too late to fix.

A pet peeve is not listing the actual resolution but rather some acronym. Lenovo used to be very guilty of this providing no decoders for HD, FHD, SVGA and similar nonsense. Now at least they give numbers and say things like "HD (1366 x 768)" although where I come from 1920x1080 is HD.

We are not selling templates, the templates are open source (Twitter Bootstrap and Foundation-Zurb) we are offering the service to build your website around that template and modify it to suit your need.
Also if you choose the Advance plan we will create theme for the CMS.
if you aren't allowed to spend more than 1-2 days writing and testing any particular unit of work, agglomeration is the dominant strategy.

Didn't a group of MIT-ers just launch a product like this a few weeks ago? I can't remember the name - they had an iOS app, and you get one of three different sized boxes in the mail, then they sell your item for you, giving you some of the profit. It was on HN a few weeks ago.
I'm confused about the latter half of your comment. CCM is basically CTR mode plus CBC-MAC; certainly the adversary isn't meant to have the key to your MAC? (Your comment about open-key use does make sense; it's just that I'm not sure it applies to CCM.)

Also, I'll channel your for a moment: don't build your own crypto! And don't use lightweight block ciphers for data you care about: many are designed to skirt the edges of "too weak", their implementations haven't been side-channel-attacked quite as often as OpenSSL's AES, and they haven't been reviewed to anything like the extent that AES has been and/or have been found wanting (TEA). Yes, experts can put them to good use, but be very careful and don't use them before ruling out the conservative AES-HMAC-SHA2 as well as more modern constructions like Keccak in AEAD mode.
There are online website builder where you have select the template and you have to fill in the content and the software generate the website for you, so in-order to avoid confusion we used the word hand-made.
I guess it is still confusing..
This is clearly a follow up to the marketing push to developers that began at WWDC. An unsurprising addition given the fact that there's really no solution to the iOS 7 UI revamp without making Apps iOS 7 only.

We should also move to a 4 day work week and "give" that extra day to another person. With the efficiency gains over the last 50 years it doesn't make sense to continue the 5+ day work week.
My feeling is that this return to waterfall development model is induced by the app validation process imposed by Apple.

I don't call back in question it's pertinence and efficiency. I just point out that publishing an app has again become a significant milestone you need to prepare and be ready for.

So it's not a matter of culture or free choice of developpers. It's a consequence of particular constrains.

No it is not hard to believe that NSA doles out a lot of research money to schools across the country. Information Assurance is one of NSA's core missions.

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/rise-superbugs/ is an excellent and recent Australian documentary explaining the origins of superbugs, just how scary they are, how the present scenario has evolved, and where it is likely going. Well worth a look. Despite the gravity of the subject, it's shot in a refreshingly non-scaremongering style with some apparently honest investigative journalism at its heart. (By contrast, you rarely see that if such documentaries come from the US, IMHO. Declaration of bias: I'm Australian!).
> Richard Stallman still sounds crazy.

He doesn't sound crazy he is just very eccentric as a individual. And he has an "extremist" position, some would say. IMHO we need someone like that to keep us honest. Remember all the years people like Microsoft put actually money into discrediting FOSS? Would a wishy washy attitude have done much good then?

I wonder if they have licensed technology from Better Place, which has been doing battery-swap electric car fill-up stations for several years now (see http://www.betterplace.com/ ).

I'm yet to hear of an example where giving money away to the unemployed cured socio-economical problems, especially in cultures where there is a social stigma attached to joblessness and living off benefits. Hiring for low wage jobs doesn't necessarily raise financial status, but gives access to social services and prevents side-effects like detachment from the job market, petty crimes, mental illnesses and addictions. Or to put it more simply: do you prefer an unemployed who's got cash for booze and nothing to do, or would you prefer him to be at work like all his peers and family?
Absolutely incredible. Thank you for breaking this down.
Also if your device is pre iOS 5 you hardly find new apps or updates. So you don't have much reason to visit the store.
I should stress this more in the README ... The key difference is that NeDB is a "real" (meaning with an actually powerful query and update language) database that is written in pure javascript. That's not the case for the other engines that need you (your users actually) to install a third-party DB or compile it. That makes prototyping, distribution and packaging much easier, and that was the main motivation (appart from fun) for this project.
Do you think it's better to be polarizing or crowd-pleasing?

I've noticed that if you want to criticize someone/something, it's safer to aim for some defenseless individual, rather than a famous company like google. I got down-voted for criticizing google, even though I'm pretty sure nothing I could say could hurt google's feelings.

How Meaningful Do You Find Github's Punchcard?
Words put to effect with the breadth of human expression captured through full motion video. I challenge one to read the screenplay for Shawshank and feel half as much.

What the author extols in word is something quite effectively conveyed in many forms of art. Just as there is great beauty in the text of Baudelaire, there is incredible emotive power in koyaanisqatsi.

We should accept the author's challenge to behave with more conviction and purpose, to express ourselves in a more meaningful way. But to do so in word alone is too restrictive for the imagination to bear.
That should be "iOS version share".

iOS usage share, at least in the iOS App Store, is always 100%.
Yep. I also made a small script that automatically transfers all your data from a NeDB to a MongoDB: https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb-to-mongodb

You can use that once you've outgrown NeDB.
Everyone I've seen has very similar numbers:

https://mixpanel.com/trends/#report/ios_frag

http://david-smith.org/iosversionstats/

http://stats.unity3d.com/mobile/index-ios.html

David Smith's numbers throw a few more percentage points to iOS 5, but he's a smaller sample size and his stats are two weeks old. Unity is similar, but it looks from the UI that their data is generated monthly.

Mixpanel's are the most up-to-date and their numbers mirror Apple's.
"Adjuvant"! [C17: from Latin adjuvāns, present participle of adjuvāre, from juvāre to help] Cheers for a new scrabble word for the armory, tokenadult! The fungi point is a good one, well done for bringing it up. Ditto interpretive guidelines. The breadth of your knowledge is, as always, impressive.
There are 2 separate aspects here: AND (the instruction itself) and invertibility.

Indirectly, every decent round function ever created has had AND. At the bit level, you can't have a nonlinear function without AND. The carry bit in additions, for example, is given by a_i&b_i ^ a_i&cin ^ b_i&cin. Using AND directly, though, is pretty rare though not unheard of, since as CPU instructions go AND is doing relatively little work compared to more powerful instructions such as ADD, SUB, MUL, or table lookups. You see AND, though not bitwise, a lot more in hardware-friendly designs that employ NLFSRs as primitives.

As for invertibility, in Feistel ciphers it is not really a requirement, as you point out, f only really needs to be a PRF. That being said, I have heard the argument that making f invertible does preserve information before; I do not know where this argument comes from, and as far as I know it's not formalized anywhere. DES and Blowfish are Feistel ciphers without invertible f, and don't have that bad of a security record.

HTML5: Have we reached the future? What's next?
It was my impression from the sessions that applications which use mostly system UI can be done in a way that works (and looks nice) on both OSes by relying on AutoLayout. And if you made a completely custom UI, it'll look as foreign to iOS7 as it looks to iOS6 now.
One particularly interesting point Taubes makes is that there exist people (with various conditions) who are simultaneously emaciated and obese. Someone can be obese in the lower half of the body and emaciated in the top half or vice-versa. In this circumstance, your theory suggests they should simultaneously eat more AND eat less to fix it.

> If energy or matter is being destroyed by viruses

The viruses don't need to destroy or create energy, they just need modify the set point. (Which could be done by increasing hunger, decreasing satiety, or decreasing metabolism.) "net caloric balance" is true by definition yet is utterly useless as an explanation of why people gain or lose fat or have trouble doing so. What needs to be explained is why for some people their metabolic rate and hunger demands make them stable at a LOW set point and for others their metabolic rate and hunger demands give them a HIGH and/or INCREASING set point. There are lots and lots of environmental factors that COULD explain some of this. For instance, obesity in the US has increased as smoking has decreased; people who quit smoking tend to gain weight.
Nice quote, but you completely missed the point. How about just comparing the results, so it's very clear it's not same service as ixquick. It's same company, but not same service.
It's not a dichotomy. I'm sure he did like to tell stories; and he also liked them read, otherwise he wouldn't have published them. And is it particularly hard to believe that he also enjoyed knowing that others read and enjoyed his books? People don't always do things for just one reason.

And social validation is not a bad thing; I mean, why would it be bad to feel better about yourself for knowing that others enjoy and appreciate what you did?
Run iOS Apps in the Browser - App.io
Wow, a lot of mixed reactions here. My comment is not meant to tear down the developer of hair, I am just pushing an agenda. I am pissed off as hell with current web standards. Why the hell are we 12 years later and still in the same place (overall) as far as technological innovation? 12 years... You should all be mad as hell that HTML5/CSS/JavaScript is not many strides better than flash was 10-12 years ago. You should all be mad as hell that there is no open standard for an API where anyone can create their own markup, their own language to run in all major browsers. Screw this compile to JS stuff. I really do admire those doing it, but this is a hack, a workaround.

I hear all this whining that flash was closed source and not an open standard, yet we are stuck in a proprietary mess of similar sorts and I don't hear complaints about that. We are relegated to all learn HTML5/CSS/JS. Doesn't that piss anyone else off? What if when writing applications for Windows, Mac and Linux, you could only choose one programming language, one markup language, and one layout/styling/positioning language? You would be pissed as hell. Well the browser is the OS of the web so why aren't you pissed off? Why is everyone so exited and happy for HTML5? It should be thrown back in the faces of the consortium and a loud demand for what I mentioned earlier should be put out.

THEN we would see some REAL INNOVATION. Let the people, the hackers/developers release their creative energy on the building blocks of the web. Give us the freedom to do it. Open standards that are so high level (such as a specific language following exact specifications) are causing stagnation of innovation.
>Tesla has finally alleviated the "cross-country road trip" problem in a way that superchargers really couldn't.

As someone who's taken a one-way cross-country trip before (NYC->SF), no, no they haven't. The system only works if it's round trip.

Gas powered vehicles continue to be more practical unless you are firmly confined to a 100 mile radius in your vehicular needs and can afford to supplement your electric with an extra vehicle (the case for all Tesla owners so far) and/or alternate modes of transport.
In the U.S., the current legal precedent requires a warrant for aerial surveillance, independent of height. The exception to that rule would be during an active event -- like if a bank robber happened to be running through your neighborhood trying to get away.
I agree but I think the author may have been pointing out the it was a sudden move, since GitHub had turned down VC money in the past. More pointing out the sudden change from their past record of turning down VC's
This is a pretty complicated solution. There are a ton of easier ones, but probably the easiest is to just use ec2-ssh. It lets you apply tags to your ec2 instances and ssh to them by very simple names.

90 second Tesla battery swap, with video
Not quite, but on track!
I might be confused about how it works, but isn't finding a place that can do the battery swap the same dilemma as finding a supercharging station? How does it help on a cross country road trip?
I think what revx may be alluding to is the fact that you're currently selling more to the person with the idea instead of the idea backer. Your home page is a good example. It asks "Is your startup idea valid?". Contrast that to IndieGoGo's home page which says "The world's funding platform. Fund what matters to you." or Kickstarter's which encourages you to "Discover great projects" with the goal of "Bringing Creativity to Life".

You're clearly solving a problem for those seeking idea validation but are you also solving a problem for those willing to give validation? Both KS and IGG do a really good job of tapping into a very visceral desire to help others succeed and to be a part of something bigger than oneself. If you can do that with Upboat you'll have a winner.
Blackberry went with the "future OS" and now has cratering market share (under 3%). HTC went with Android, and had a head start over Nokia, and it too has less than 3% market share. Motorola is owned by Google and has virtually no market share.

Everyone seems to assume that Nokia would do well if only it had used another platform. Why? Most of it's competitors haven't.

Show HN: Cracking Fortune Cookies
I wish there was still a curated list of categorized websites.
I disagree. I think enough people are willing to pay for a service that makes their lives easier, and developers especially so. GitHub does exactly that, and their pricing is at a good point where it isn't prohibitive for people just starting out.
I think what everyone here really wants to say is "What a shower of shit!"

Firstly marketing your services and a website like this is bound to get you some flack.

7 days to make a bootstrap themed website? Come on! A bit of emmet in sublime and I could bash that out in minutes! Maybe you put 7 days to make it sound worth the cash?

Maybe if you flipped your service around offered to do HTML wireframes and had some sort of Ux experience it might work.

I'd be interested to hear what your target audience is?

P.s the landing page is terrible on mobile.
I see - I was probably looking at it from my own perspective, which is not your target audience.

I'm not sure the reception you're going to get on HN is reflective of your customer demographic. I think most people here can and would just run up their own pretty easily.

I guess your audience (I just noticed you include hosting) are those without the technical ability to do this work themselves, as opposed to those who could, but don't have the time or other resources to do so.

All the best with it :)
The article says they made $1000 on their first day. And they've been around for 5 years (pretty sure the article has the timing wrong, I was putting stuff on GitHub in 2008) without taking any funding, which is pretty hard if you're not profitable.

My guess: they're gearing up for an IPO. Maybe not for a couple years, but they see their market size as being big enough to go public, and they want a prominent financial backer in their corner when they do. That's the usual reason why profitable companies take investment. Microsoft famously eschewed all venture funding until a mezzanine round right before they went public, which was a.) so they could vet their investment bank and develop a relationship with them before it really mattered and b.) so said investment bank would have an incentive to hype up the stock and get the highest possible price at IPO time.
