Do you mind explaining that? Would the fact that they use AGPL for Juju matter if you're not hacking on Juju itself? I don't see how it would be an issue, it wouldn't extend to the proprietary software you run on a Juju-setup service, would it?

I could be completely wrong, mind you.
Huge congrats to the Xamarin folks. I'm a huge fan of their products. Personally, I've found their tools for Android development to be less cumbersome than Google's tools for the same. I was extremely impressed by their Evolve conference as well. Great engineering and great, friendly, responsive people. Kudos!
You're right, but the design will improve very much. We are in the middle of the world biggest eyewear industry, and we're making agreements with them for the frame.

The point of these first prototypes was only to prove, first of all to ourselves, that the system could fit in little room and weight.
Explain WTC7.

(I don't even speculate "who did what, exactly" -- but that this thing is fishy as fuck, and has been from day one, is undeniable. You can cover your ears and scream tinfoil all you want, but that doesn't answer the gaping questions. Apply Occam's razor, how about that? The possibility that the laws of physics were suspended that day is very slim, even more slim than aliens using lizards to convince mice to hypnotize humans to do it. Logic!)

not talking about nagging warnings before the movie.

but making clear what they are selling to being with.

what if there's now a competitor that has decent movies and does not crop the image, and charges 8.99?

it would be a much, much better choice for me and everyone here. but since netflix does not disclose they have the low budget licensing of the movies, i would compare wrong and support the lesser service thinking they are similar and one is just cheaper.

i.e. cheating.
All I'm saying is that some guy who's son was a bad guy (look at his wiki page, I won't enumerate offenses) writes an Op-Ed in NyTimes and everyone starts taking his word as scripture. I'm not saying killing his grandson was right or wrong, I'm just saying a skimming of the facts he presents followed by a scathing anti-American rant is uncalled for.
> Gravity holds you to that chair...

You've explained how the effects of gravity can be predicted, not why gravity holds me to the chair. What is the mechanism that causes the gravity that holds me to the chair? Is it undiscovered gravitons, or what? Likewise you wish to know the mechanism that causes the galaxies to move away from one another.

We already know that objects have freedom of movement in space. So why the galaxies appear to be moving away from us can be simply because they are moving away from us. There doesn't need to be a deeper explanation. If you would like to explain the observation using the expanding space paradigm then tell me why space itself is expanding, without saying "it just is". Tell me the mechanism by which it expands. Otherwise you've answered one why question by making an assumption that is left wanting for its own explanation as to why. You've traded one problem for another.
The US government and the NSA have just been outed in the largest conspiracy in US history. All the tinfoil has melted and that mindless rejoinder with it.
I think that the language (and its "batteries", i.e. std libs) should be separated from the product, because products die.

>killing a 16-year-old American citizen, accused of no crime, without due process.

step 1. killing non-Americans outside, accused of no crime, without due process - ok

step 2. killing Americans outside, accused of no crime, without due process - so-so, the public seems to be getting used to it

step 3. ... (hint : not a profit)
Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more apparent we _do_ live in that world - it's just not happened yet.
I always hear this from amercians. If you are going to boast about being 'free' and 'democratic' then you 'support' whoever is running the administration (that's how democracy works, the majority "Wins" the support of the people).

Have some personal accountability.

Or else, you are not free, nor a democracy.

Thats a horrible argument, and a circular one at that. If we had a brutal police beating leading to the death of a 16 year old child, do we argue that the grandparent must be unreliable because a other family member to the child was also killed by the police? after all, that family member must have done something to anger the police...
We didn't want to do a camera version actually, because we see our product as a tool rather than a toy. But then we found it's necessary for object recognition, plus many people are asking for it, so we'll have it, it's already in offer on our IndieGoGo campaign http://igg.me/at/glassup/x/3553080

However we don't want to upset people's privacy feelings, so we'll make the camera version very evident, with a big writing "You're on air" or something.
Invoking your right to remain silent is sufficient.

Telling the police to direct further inquiries to an attorney doesn't actually necessitate retaining one until they make additional inquiries.

One way to view this is upping the ante. You've made clear that you know your rights, and that they're not going to be able to use you as an easy source.

Of course, if they call your bluff, it's helpful to be able to produce said attorney.

Testing the San Francisco Open Data initiative - video
The Israelis generally decry crimes against the Palestinian people, but they are constantly targeted and take desperate measures every now and then. But it's far from ignored or celebrated by the average Israeli.

In this sense America is more of a terrorist State than Israel. Any heavy handed action from the Israeli government faces serious resistance and upheaval from its own populace. Americans largely don't care and you'll find more people justifying it than opposing it.

> Squatter implies no legitimate rights

We aren't talking about land here, we're talking about domain names. A domain squatter has legitimate right to the domain names (s)he owns. Domain squatting is neither illegal, nor contrary to any rules.

I happen to despise the practice, and wish ICANN implemented measures to prevent it occurring.

> I've bought a lot of things with the sole purpose of selling it for more.

Try buying a lot in a modern real-estate development in a developed nation and see if you can sit on it. They won't let you, because your empty lot lowers the value of all the properties in the vicinity. They won't let you just throw up a lean-to and call it a building either. You'll actually have to build a proper house that not only follows all relevant codes but that actually looks good.

Generally speaking, domain squatting is a shitty practice by shrewd business-people who found a way to conjure big bucks out of thin air... ie. without creating any value whatsoever.

> Nothing wrong with that.

That's like, your opinion, dude.

Your problem is that you have two lines of bookmarks all of the time? Your problem is that you don't auto-hide your taskbar? Your problem is that your version of Firefox shows a menu bar all the time for no reason? =)

Or is your problem that you've never clicked on the drop-down at the top left of your reply, and clicked, "Pop out reply"?

You probably just didn't know about that last one, which is understandable - it's a bit hidden. But I think it solves easily half of your complaint.

As to the editing quoted text, another HN'er responded adequately to that point.

Google engineers do use Firefox, and they do pay attention to people without large screens. Your assertions otherwise are baseless.

So if I decide to put someone on a kill list, there is no burden of proof on me to explain why, by killing that someone my action is righteous, legal and moral?

I'm pretty sure the US constitution disagrees with that premise, and should protect any US citizen from such a situation.
That's true for a few major cities maybe, in province prices a not so cheap.
IAccelerator Program
It's not very bad advice. I've been building web businesses for 16 years. You have no advantage over me on time.

The end of the dominance of .com was always inevitable, and is already occurring. Sites as varied as ask.fm, twitch.tv, minecraftwiki.net, foods.tv, formspring.me, php.net, about.me, imageshack.us, last.fm, mega.co.nz, rapidgator.net, popads.net, speedtest.net, ustream.tv, prchecker.info, who.is, all.biz, jsfiddle.net, justin.tv, bit.ly, scoop.it, snap.do and vine.co are proving that every day (or already proved it in the past). And that's ignoring the rest of the vast array of .net and .org sites. There will be a lot more big alt sites in the next five years. Instagram didn't start out as instagram.com. Clearly Vine didn't need the .com to succeed at all. Different use case than your typical 1998 .com? You bet, and that's exactly the future.

The proof is already in place: you don't need a .com to succeed any longer.

Among the top 5,000 global sites, .com addresses are in the minority now. Apparently other entrepreneurs and businesses in other countries are also having no problems building global, world class businesses without using .com.

In fact, over the last decade as the web has become dominated by non-English speaking and non-American businesses and users, I'd argue that everybody outside of America is already very accustomed to the use of alternative domains. Just another reason .com is the past.

Saying that something is going to be problematic, doesn't mean that it is actually so.

Only $70,000 for that .com? You mean in other words very few startups could actually afford that. You're talking about an elite class of startups - the top 1% - once you're talking about spending $70k on a domain.
Does anything justify killing a 16-year-old non-american citizen without due process?

Just saying. This post is largely about how people in the war-driven countries are perceived by Americans as just abstract figures, instead of real people, thus, making it easy for them to be pro-war.

EDIT:

To the comment below: You know exactly what I meant when I said it - the us vs. them mentality.

Case in point: Latvian hacker about to be extradited to the US for allegedly committing computer crimes. Guess what? U.S. has not supplied a single item of evidence about anything - they just know that he did it.

This, as we can see, spills over to other departments of the u.s. government - fighting terrorism, national security, etc.

Seems like they just come up with random crap to do for the fun of it.
Really well done on this, the power of open source is unreal.....
I propose everybody mentally replace the word "terrorist" with "infidel" everytime they encounter it - if that turns the sentence containing the word into "batshit insane ranting", that's almost certainly because it was "batshit insane ranting" to start with.

Seriously - start examining the rhetoric sued by your representatives, your law enforcement, and your media. Are they _really_ speaking any sense?

That's why I use the BeagleBoard.
Well, nobody should be considered "American" in the first place since it's a country made by immigration (apart from native indians). And the principle behind America is that you can be born "American" without being born in the country. But I know what you mean, there's the principles on one hand and the reality on the other.
I believe that's because you have more time behind you. If you're 5 years old a year is a fifth of your life. But if you're 50 it's a fiftieth so it seems a lot less.
I'm not willing to go so far to say that parents should be held accountable for their children's actions. I am very confident that it's ok to question the validity of statements made by the parent of a well known, high ranking terrorist.
I actually believe that I did. I understood the point you were making, and I'm pointing out that while your devices don't have that constraint, others may, depending on your target audience.

It's interesting to read those comments while thinking of the "other war" the US (and the militarized police force) is fighting. What are the battlefield boundaries of "the war on drugs"? How can the "rules of that battlefield" and "the rules of civilized society" be any different?

Recall your elected officials or not vote for incumbents. Especially those who sit on intelligence, judicial or defense committees.

I have a problem with an Executive and paramilitary bureaucracies (CIA) that feel no civilian visible court has jurisdiction over them and no one should hold them accountable for their actions or mistakes.
I kinda thought the same thing and its especially attractive since I've written a lot of C# code. But I discovered that the Mono mobile framework wraps the respective devices UI APIs fairly faithfully - and learning those is the more laborious part. In other words, it doesn't abstract all of the devices and you still need to understand how to code for each one. You just get to do it in C#.

I still think it has great value and you most likely could share some of your code between devices. It just wasn't as seamless as I had thought supporting multiple devices. I think HTML based apps do have that one advantage.
Do me the favor of putting my statement and yours side by side. Show the claim I made (that we should scrutinize the validity of the OpEd) vs what you refuted.
Really? I can see no mention of Angular on that page you linked.
The fact that it says all these things on Wikipedia doesn't mean that much to me.
You make a fair point and I normally share your view about compilers and tools. I think the Xamarin situation is complex, though, because most of the product is already open source. The C# compiler and x86 runtime, the standard libs (System.*), and the IDE (monodevelop aka Xamarin Studio) are all open source; and the platform bindings are a thin, almost 1:1 layer covering the iOS and android APIs. What you're really paying for is the AOT mechanism, packaging, and ARM runtime -- it's about all that's left they can sell. It's also worth noting that a ton of their code goes back into mono and associated projects.

I still think you have a good point, and I agree, but as for myself, I decided to make an exception in this case. I don't think it's quite as bad as PowerBuilder or Clarion at least.
You're mixing up the importance of a .com for an app- vs. web-centric business.
Not really. Well, you can of course do that but you can't really call that "open source". "open source" has a set meaning that a lot of people spent a lot of time building the reputation of. http://opensource.org/osd-annotated

I'm not just being pedantic; this matters because if Distelli advertised itself as "open source" and I invested time into it then I found out that they didn't allow me to redistribute my amazing changes or to see my friends brilliant changes I'd be really pissed off. It would mean there was no scope for building up an alternative ecosystem that wasn't under the control of Distelli and thus I'd have no real freedom.

For what it's worth (ie. not much, I'm probably not your target market), I agree with drewcrawford - If I'm looking at this kind of tool freedom is important to me and I'll check the open source options before checking the closed source ones.
I know this gets brought up often, but you understand America is not a true democracy. We elect our leaders, but we don't vote on their decisions. Inherent in our system of government is a very long and arduous feedback loop between leadership decisions and citizen support and approval. For instance, the Obama administration is on its second term right now. There can be no reelection for our current president. He has four years to act without concerning himself with voter approval. To protect against our executive branch going rouge there are other checks we have in place such as judges and legislatures. What is happening right now in America is a struggle between our three branches of government.
To play devil's advocate:
(and this isn't to excuse the US's actions, but to illustrate a major difference between what happened and what you're talking about)

The big difference in this case is that we have tacit (or maybe even explicit) consent from the Yemeni government to hunt Al Qaeda. So the representatives of the people of that country are allowing us to kill these people basically on their behalf. (which doesn't make it OK, but is a major differnce)

It's not just that we are bullying Yemen into allowing us to bomb people in their country - it's that the Yemini authorities (and probably most of the population) don't want these people operating in their country but they lack the resources and infrastructure to stop them themselves; and that's where we come in.

Bare in min that we also give Yemen a lot of military aid so that we DON'T HAVE TO come in and do their law enforcement for them. In this case that wasn't sufficient and we intervene on their behalf

To make your example comparable you would need to have a person that is evading US authorities, operating in the US, and that we are completely incapable of stopping (and only some other country could do it for us?)

I don't buy that for a second. Having firsthand knowledge of how terrible our border security is, how much theater goes into our domestic security, and how half-assed all these show layers are, there's only one reasonable conclusion:

The number of humans on Earth that want to kill large numbers of other humans is exceedingly, vanishingly small.

Most people just don't want to blow people up, no matter how angry they are.

If this were false, we'd see bombings, shootings, and poisonings constantly all over the country. We don't.

I grew up in Detroit. Trust me when I say that this country has no shortage of machine guns.

If these sorts of things were being stopped by the NSA's dragnet, they wouldn't have claimed to have stopped "dozens" of attacks with their surveillance. They'd have claimed "hundreds" or "thousands". They didn't.

There just aren't that many people who wish civillian populations harm, even if their government did blow up their loved ones.
I'll be honest with you: I'm maybe not the one to give proper advice on paredit. I'm using C# on my day job, and as such have no use for paredit (I do use ViEmu for VS though, which makes VS bearable) for most of my programming tasks.

Also, I've never done anything in clojure. I expect it to be a similar experience to CL, but the different types of parenthesis might have an effect on using paredit efficiently.

That said, I found that the following mapping really makes a huge difference when working with sexps & evil-mode:

C-l: paredit-forward-slurp-sexp
C-k: paredit-backward-barf-sexp
C-j: paredit-backward-slurp-sexp
C-h: paredit-forward-barf-sexp

Your mileage may vary, of course. I mapped it this way because my fingers dictated it, and it plays well with vim/evil.

As to how to actually use these commands: Try them out on a few sexps, it'll be clear to you pretty soon. Also be sure to check out Emacs Rocks! ep14 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6h5dFyyUX0), it's well worth the 3:40.

I actually find learning paredit to be very similar to learning vim: You start with almost nothing (maybe hjkl in vim, but even that takes a while to get used to), and slowly add new tricks to your tool belt. Also like with vim, everyone has their own style of using the tools.

Of course, there's a ton of other things in paredit which can improve your efficiency which I haven't added to my muscle-memory yet. It's just that I found barfing/slurping to be the most bang for the buck, so I added them first.
I've said this before, but I'll do so again: forget about the cars. How long before your friend can type in a person's name and get a similar record of that face's movement based on data the general public continuously records and shares?

I'm sure the authorities' line of defense will go something like "oh but you're not in the database by default!" Then you'll be added as soon as you cross a border, apply for a passport, or get a parking ticket. Time to buy stock of facemask producers...
