Agreed, but I doubt that Nokia execs knew it (or some knew, but weren't in the majority). I think Nokias biggest mistake was to commit to WP 100%, at a time when they didn't even have handsets ready. The completely silly estimate of selling hundreds of millions of Symbian smartphones after that announcement just underscores that.
A controller in your hands. Like watching someone else fall in love, you're missing out unless it's you having the experience.
But they have all of their track lists here:

Are we supposed to forget anything about them as soon as we close the page?
Yeah, since it feels like a plane the up/down controls should be inverted.
JavaScript DataTable with 1000 Columns and More
Yes, I decided to ignore that constraint because it doesn't make sense :).

The article suggests performing "server-side membership testing, which is O(1)", but I think this is a bit too much — you can do even easier server-side validation without the list of all valid e-mail addresses, just the information that "@[anything but these two domains] is not an OK target".
Same here, but WebGL works for me; not only do I make things with it, I can use all games/demos in WebGL without issues. Only this game doesn't work. Chrome latest on Mac OS X.

Forgotten father of the search engine
Living and working in China, I quickly discovered that it's a buyer-beware market. Within a few weeks I had learned to always buy my electronics from the official stores in shops like Guomao. From ICs to smartphones, the fakes run the whole gamut.

In shops like Shenzhen's SEG, I've watched them apply brand stickers in public. When asked if they're real, they told me with a straight face that it was and came from the same factory. Yeah right. One of my coworkers lost all his photos from the trip, when his fake SD with a bogus size reached the internal limit and started overwriting his earliest pictures.
Very good ideas, there! Thank you.

But giving users a free month? No way! The entirety of the course is... free for all!
Except that during the Cold War, the Soviet government was lying and everyone with any sense knew it. That is not the same state of affairs as today.
> 99% jobs are meant to at least kinda suck - that's why compensation is necessary.

Not necessarily. If you have someone that loves their job and does it extremely well, you still need to pay that person so that person can pay his/her bills and stay there. Otherwise, that person will leave for a job that he/she likes less and is not as good at, just to be able to pay the bills.

I know several people that LOVE their jobs, but they have a family to support. If those jobs didn't pay, they wouldn't be working there because loving a job doesn't put food on the table.
KitKat's new website
I don't know the legal rationale. But yah, it's small payments like you mention.

Maybe it's because the signature is useless - they all use electronic pads now and the resolution and quality is such that you can't make out the signature of even the neatest signature.
I don't want to start a campaign before getting an audience :-) I think this is a mistake that many new entrepreneurs make.
This is the way I like to learn a language.

Instantly, and progressively, by starting at the top and working through a single document that is both a reference and a guide.

Beautiful work.

Edit: One change I would make is to change p := pair{3, 4} into p := pair{x: 3, y: 4} which helps your declarations keep working in the future when you extend or modify the definition of `pair`.
It's not just the direct priniting costs there is also the risk discount as publishers often destroy a significant number of unsold books.
They are nearly always mixed. It's a bit silly because usually I get a compilation for the fluid mixing and originality/bootlegs/mashups (Spotify almost always has full versions of songs at different BPMs and keys so it's not fluid when recreating in a playlist). It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this.
It seems like the scene might have been built with Unity and was then exported.

The most unfortunate part isn't that we worry too much -- it's that we worry about the wrong things. Not enough people seem to be concerned about the unaffordability of health insurance, or the fact that 401k plans are unlikely to cover retirement.

Whoever approved this change at Google deserves to be fired, its a serious usability fuckup
If there's no value to curation then people wouldn't bother copying the lists - they'd just make their own. There's a reason why "MoS Compilation X" is worth more than "Random User Compilation X" - they're adding value to Spotify by expertly choosing songs that go together well presumably. And their business is selling that expertise.

Should they be able to protect that business through the use of copyright is an interesting problem. Is what they do valuable enough to warrant protection? Is it "art"? I don't think that's as straightforward a question as some people (on both sides of the argument) seem to think.
Surely this is more of a trademark / branding issue. They can't lay claim to non-mixed tracks in the same order. But they surely can protect their brand being used by someone else.

Ah, very informative. So, here is the problem: the fact that crypto is specified when it's the wrong tool for this particular job (that of storing my online banking password). I don't want my password encrypted. I wanted hashed and salted with something like bcrypt, and I don't want it sent in the clear over email.

What about opportunities to network, brainstorm ideas, and start conversations with interesting people before the event beside Hacker News?

Fedora chooses silly names on purpose so that people outside of the development team don't refer to them.

That said, I actually prefer code names. I know my desktop computer is running Lion, and my laptop is running Ubuntu Quantum something (I just looked it up, Quantal Quetzal, but really I only need to know the first letter, because Ubuntu releases are alphabetic.) I have no clue what version number I am using (I guess it is OSX 10.7.something, and something between Ubuntu 11.10 and 13.04).

(I also don't know what CentOS version I am using at work, because it's really hard to find out (stashed in some file in /etc, of which I don't know if it is up-to-date or leftover from a previous installation), but it's something ancient.)

Everyone seems to have real difficulty reading the Asymco one, and to be fair his graphs are typically abysmal.

What seems to trip people up with this one is that the profit share "line" is an average over the last 4 quarters, which since the two number are moving quickly in opposite directions adds lag, the actual estimate for the quarter is a purple dot.

But even with that lag, the trend is fairly hard to miss (people do seem prepared to put that effort in though).
It's the standard change-background-while-scrolling website that seems to become fashionable. Am I missing something about this post?
Change your browser tab as you hit a wall and the track speed is slowed down. You will hear the rest of the song played with a permanent pitch shift.
Exactly, lot of UI features in GMail, Maps and Google plus are starting to piss of me. The UI used to be nice and comfortable to work with before, but now it is plain horrible. I read somewhere that Marissa Mayer used to control the UI of GMail and Maps(she apparently used to depend on metrics to get things right). Does this have to do something with she leaving?
I don't think the US commentators are confused, it's just easier to say "Microsoft bought Nokia" vs. "Microsoft bought Nokia's devices division and licensed their patents".

For the average Joe, Nokia made phones, and Microsoft bought that part of Nokia, resulting in "Microsoft bought Nokia".

You're arguing semantics when the people who care get it, and the people who don't care, don't need to know the difference.
You can't make a JavaScript engine run anywhere near fast enough in PNaCl, so you need at least all of V8 in your "kernel". You could run WebKit on top of PNaCl with some magic V8 bindings, but I don't think this has been done before, and considering how big WebKit and NaCl are, it would probably be a lot of work. Useful work to do, but a lot of work...

(And of course, Chromium already supports a process sandbox, so while this could theoretically be a really cool win for architecture, having less platform specific code to maintain, it wouldn't necessarily be much of a security win - the analogy of the kernel only applies so far.)
If you're going to do that, why not just pirate the books? For the same amount of effort, you'd probably manage it - and it'd be cheaper.
The RFC-compliant email address is actually incredibly complex. There are loads of things that are RFC-valid email addresses that basically hardly anyone uses (like spaces).
Exactly, and if Nokia stopped producing Windows Phones, Microsoft's approaching 8% marketshare (or is it 9% now?) would be cut down significantly, and would likely be a nail in WP's coffin.
You should read the text. It's full of cloud and tech references, because KitKat and Google are promoting the next Android Version (Android 4.4 will be named KitKat).

They could be arguing they are protected under database rights, but its probably just plain copyright.
I am not sure what you mean. I tried to explain the situation. "Serbo-croatian" as such doesn't exist (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/535405/Serbo-Croat...). Yeah, you can mix both of them and speak serbo-croatian as a mixture of both, but people also mix english language with their mother tongues. How many kids today name their language as "croatian-english" or "german-bosnian" for example? And I heard both of these in real-life situations.
This was trending on HN earlier today. I think the reason it's on the front page is because of the parody on Android's new version being named Kit Kat.

Looks to me like this was a joint marketing campaign by Google and Nestle. Seems successful.
This story almost had me in tears (a mix of schadenfreude and shame for my profession). I hope they learned something not to give business critical work to college students. Makes me think that IT Risk management should be right at the top of what MBAs have to learn.

It is preferably referred to as parallax scrolling, which is very common with single page designs these days. Unless otherwise used with the right intention and for the right purpose parallax scrolling technique is becoming the new carousel or from the olden days "skip intro".
Strangely every report I see of this (also in e.g. Vietnam) stresses that it's due to the strength of the Nokia brand in these regions. A brand that Microsoft apparently didn't buy the rights to for use on smartphones.
I can actually see their point, curation is very valuable in world with this much accessible content.

But I'm getting tired of "old school" media companies trying to solve all their business problems by suing those who actually innovate the slightest.

Why not, for a change, try to embrace technology and see new opportunities? The music industry have been collaborating on their own grave since napster, and very much deserve to fall in it.

What prevents factories from implementing some online verification mechanism for serial IDs? At least for products which cost a few hundred bucks, this should be economically feasible, no? Then, before buying, you could scan a QR code and have the site tell you if it's a valid serial.
Maybe you have.
Interesting project, but I think it would be useful to write a simple tutorial on how to customize the browser.

I've looked at the API but that doesn't really tell how to setup the browser, how to run custom code, etc.
What Small Businesses Seem to Neglect
First, one of my coworkers who will be retiring within the next 10 years recently attended a retirement seminar provided by our company. He mentioned to me that the seminar speaker said that it should be young people going to these, because by the time you are 50, it's too late to make the changes which will have the biggest financial impacts on your retirement.

I don't know what the future will hold, so I am maxing out my TSP (Thrift Savings Plan for US federal employees, like a 401k). I even front-load it, paying as much as I can in the first couple of months of the year, and leaving it at 5% for the rest of the year to get all the matching funds I can. By front-loading, the interest has more principle to compound for the rest of the year. I've also found several TSP websites where people get together to discus ways on maxing their retirement savings. I imagine there might be similar websites for people with 401k plans if you look.

Because I'm at sea and have almost no expenses, I'm investing almost all of my paychecks which will help me achieve financial independence within a matter of years. I have a brokerage account in which I'm buying stocks. When you are younger, you can afford to take more risk with your investments. As you get older, you should be taking less risk, because essentially you can't afford to start all over.

I also recently discovered Early Retirement Extreme (0). You don't have to be as "extreme" as the author, but there is some sound advice in there. I think it helps that I'm an INTJ like the author and most of the readers of the blog. You have to embrace the idea that saving is better for the individual than perpetuating debt.

"9. Enjoy food and drink in your 20’s as later on it will be a case of “Everything in moderation.” (I’d tag on find a sport/hobby you love and it won’t feel like exercise in the future when your body needs it... Swimming, walking, martial arts, anything!)"

That's a good point. Eating tasty and healthy stuff is very important and it adds a lot to a quality life.

But it is also true, that the amount of food you should eat gets less and less the older you get. The only way to still feel good is to eat really fresh and tasty things, no junk food and very little sweet and fat stuff. We even have a glass of wine for nearly every dinner. The hard thing is to stop after one glass, but this can be achieved.

This, in balance with a good sport, and there will be no health or weight problems. The real trick is to keep the ability of the body to get the energy from the (fat) reserves. Overweight people lose this ability, thats why they carry calories for a year and are still always hungry. Regular workouts help a lot.

I am so happy, that I started competitive swimming when I was 13. And I am also happy, that I got out of this drill early enough, to still enjoy swimming (now, 35 years later). Doing this 2-3 times a week since I can remember makes it really easy and enjoyable. Going only once a month would be hell instead (and totally without effect).

So, yes, eat healthy and find a sport today. Never skip running/swimming or whatever you choose.
No GPU? Not worth buying if I can't play Crysis on it.
Hi laurent, this is definitely planned! The goal here is to share the idea of the ExoBrowser. We need to package the whole thing a lot more!

If you want to have an early look at an example you can look at the app/ subdirectory which is a full implementation of a browser in javascript.

Here's an idea:

Mix the tracks together, re-release it to spotify and pay the artists x% of what you earn on the stream.

Good for me as a user since I can get curated & mixed content from a "trusted" source. Good for MoS since they get something for their effort. Good for the artist that can get exposure they otherwise would not get.

(that might not be perfect, but it took me 1 minute.. Old media, are you listening? You should hire me as a consultant since you obviously can't do this on your own ;)

Height correlates with income; an appearance of health and vitality is likely important; but I highly doubt muscularity beyond what you'd get from a normal healthy lifestyle and good genes will have a positive influence on how others judge you in the world at large (at the gym or similar context is different, of course).

I don't know what research has been done, but my own snap judgements of unusually muscular people tend to be negative; couple the muscles with an exaggerated strut and they go strongly negative.

maps: I love the new interface. The only thing missing is re-adding rightclicks for additional options. For what I use maps nearly everything is easier than it was before. But as you want a replacement, what about OSM [1]? It's becoming better every day and a lot of areas have better data than google.

gmail: It became slower and more bloated all the time, the interface changes looked nice but were, as many said, horrible UX. I know the lack of tags is a dealbreaker for many but as I can live without them, fastmail.fm [2] is a replacement that does pretty much everything else better and faster.

search: Yeah, the lack of easy linking is extremely annoying and has been for quite some time now. My problem is still that I need the bubble to get relevant results for me. Every time I try to use DDG [3] or other replacements, searches result in way too much noise over signal. And with those boxes on the right side google now has what was one of the best features of DDG.

At least calendar is still useable for now as I haven't found a replacement I really liked.

From the description of the mechanics, I'm most closely reminded of the local-multiplayer co-op mechanics in the SNES-era game Kirby SuperStar--which indeed produce very positive play experiences in every situation I've seen, such that I recommend it as "the video game to play with your romantic-partner-who-doesn't-play-video-games." Journey even replicates KSS's "mutual recharging through touching" mechanic, which I don't think I've seen in anything else.

Amusingly enough, the New Super Mario Bros. series also copied KSS's co-op mechanics--but then added griefing in, just for the sake of it. (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/11/20/)
