Power of Customers: demand for low cost iphone

Power of Suppliers: Moving back to US manufacturing?

Power of Competitors: All the big tech companies.

Also a fantastic article on Disruption from The Kernal. Key insight is that companies are very aware of disruption considering it irresponsible for any board of a large technology incumbent not to have read 'Innovator's Dilemna.'

THE STORY WE ALL KNOW
"Kodak built film cameras, and made money on the film, the classic “Gillette” business model, and was so obsessed with this profit stream that it completely missed the tidal wave of digital photography and the internet"

INTERESTING ADDITION
"The next step for digital photography wasn’t the internet. It was point-and-shoots. Canon and Fujitsu. Kodak was so focused on disrupting itself and not falling into the trap of the innovator’s dilemma that it lost a grip on its core business. It turned out that in order to remain relevant in the internet age, it just had to make good cameras."

Not true at all. There are quite a large number of cases out there that would be hard to lift fingerprints from. If the owner has this sort of case, and if the owner has cleaned the screen recently or just had the phone pocketed, thus wiping the screen off rather well...I think there are a large number of phones from which you would get no prints.
I would, but the whole purpose of this is to not tie any information back to a person, aka keep it anonymous. Persona accounts use email, so there's no point in using them.

Actually doesn't that highlight one of the biggest flaws with this, in that your finger prints will already be all over the device? Lift the device, get the authorisation token for free. At least with a password you also need to either crack it or discover it from some other means.
Crystal Reports is never called "Crystal". It's always "Crystal Reports".
A post-mortem on my first AngularJS project
If you're tired of To-Do lists and Twitter feed examples for AngularJS I can offer a variation. This is a project I did for a t-shirt site and it does quotes using a variety of variables in real time as the user interacts with the UI. I also show how I went back to the existing project to learn how to add unit testing with Karma and Jasmine and a unit testing coverage report with Istanbul. Spoiler: It was pretty easy.
Hey what would you say your audience is? If you're not looking to stock shirts to tickle every possible fancy (which sites like donkey tees try and do), then you'll probably need a niche?
The Tu-144 was an absolute disaster and had to have every flight pre-approved by the political leadership. It doesn't matter it flew first if it doesn't work.
I always thought that the anti-abortion crowd was missing out on an angle that could be taken advantage by science-types. The whole "no abortion for X weeks" is based on the age that it's plausible that a fetus can live outside of the womb.

If the anti-abortion folk are so serious about their beliefs, they should fund a massive research project to create artificial wombs that very early babies can be placed into to finish their development.

If anyone wants to work on the tech, that's the benefactors you should go after!
The problem here is your implying getting past the 4 digit code is substantially easier then cloning a finger print.

The code is in someone's head, or you have to deconvolute it from screen smudges. Your fingerprints are literally everywhere you go.
Don't forget that those minimum-wage workers pay one of the highest state/local tax rates in the nation for their income level: Texas taxes its poorest quintile 12.6% of their meagre incomes through its various taxes, the 6th-highest rate in the nation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/09/21/th...
Well, if you think people are going to create another username and another password to hide identity, that assumption is bad as well. You can launch a study and you will find even a lot of the "hackers" here will get lazy at creating a new password and a new username. You probably feel the same anyway.

There is a whole bag of reasons why we don't want to reinvent an auth system anymore other than recording the username and give a user privilege/level to that name in the database.

and with server logging, you have to do a lot of work to ensure your server isn;t logging ip addresses which effectively makes certain types of debugging and defense very difficult (intrusion detection for example).

You also have to be aware of ISP logging as well. In the end, no, you can't guarnatee no one can know the identity.That philosphy is flaw.

You goal is to ensure auth is as minimal as possible, and maximize security of information retrieval and storage.

if you want to reduce the abiilty to know the user idetntify without a raintable / bruteforce, hash the identity. hash the username / email address.

That's the only way to hide it from an obvious search.
Due to a huge population influx for an already large state. Absolute numbers are generally a bad way to measure.

Most of those are from non-US migration as well (as the article indicates)

Sunday night is a bad moment to ask stuff in HN, I guess most of us are trying to have some kind of life (which I failed to right now :) ). Since you are open to "crazy ideas", you could travel. Central to South America, you could do wonders with only $10k. Also, there's a very nice and growing startup scene in Chile, which we tend to think is a "americanized" country. Uruguay is very cheap to stay at too.

My point is that travelling a bit usually works for me, switching environments definitely helps, specially if you are feeling "trapped".
Things Caches Do (2008)
But that's new market disruption, which I said I agree with. In fact, I explicitly called out the iPad (which I'm sure you read).

It's low end disruption - that the same product becomes modularized - that I have an issue with.
Seconded. Love using Grooveshark to choose specific music I'm in the mood for (versus Pandora, for when I just want music to play non stop without having to think about choosing something), but Grooveshark only works for a few songs before it falls asleep and you have to tend to it.
Package delivery using drones. A DPS (Drone Parcel Service) base truck could roll into a neighborhood and a swarm of drones would fly out with packages under a certain weight and deliver them, while the base truck delivers any packages too heavy. The drones keep informed of where the truck is so they can return (even when the truck is in motion) to recharge until the next neighborhood.

With county budgets being stressed and more areas considering converting paved roads to gravel roads, any kind of delivery system that can avoid roads will be a benefit.
They don't have to necessarily trace it back to me, as long as they can't trace it back to you.
I'm actually pretty skeptical this is the case. Fingerprint data is noisy - it has to tolerate a high degree of error. I suspect the problem is actually that you need to smooth it out appropriately to make the sensor not get tripped up by non-biological noise.

I'd be really curious to see what you could do with a high-resolution smartphone camera and a little image processing.
Firstly, do not underestimate the value of friends/family. If you move to the bay without a job/support network you may very well find yourself in a dark demotivating hole that costs more than most of the world to maintain. This is not a good scenario.

That said, make something. Find a way to lessen your cost of living so you have time, and create something cool/useful. Use the tools you want to make your living with. You'll learn both the tools and a lot about yourself during this process. Once you've done this you'll have a decent example of your skills that could land you the gig you need to come to the bay on good terms.

I hope this helps and best of luck!
thanks, it works :)
Does anything like this exist for python/numpy/matplotlib?
>Just to keep things in perspective, the goal of Touch ID is not to be unhackable. The goal is to get more consumers to move from zero security to pretty good security.

Agreed. Complaining about this hack would be like people saying locks are "hackable" if you steal someones key and make a copy. There's always a way around any system, if a criminal is dedicated enough to get past it.
The big issue will be in the sort of contracts they sign with Telstra to rent and maintain the copper infrastructure - which by the figures I have seen published so far may make it more expensive than the FTTH (though no one really knows at this point).

Given that the point of the FTTN as opposed to FTTH is to essentially maintain the status quo for the media (and give established businesses, city areas and the wealthy a competitive advantage - at 2-5G a pop for a connection).. the likelihood is that the libs will try to lock in these contracts as much as possible.

It disappoints me that the article seems to suggest that the board quit due to a lack of faith from the incoming minister, rather than as a gesture which shows a disturbing lack of faith in the incoming minister.
Me too. I certainly know far more people that home school their kids to comfortably raise them either without religion or non-traditional spirituality. That probably has more to do with where I live and my circle of friends though than I'd think is representative of the country and I fully suspect plenty of parents are home schooling to raise their children with strong religious dogma. This seems weird to me though since so many parochial schools exist in the US.
So take your 20 man project - all of it - and give the entirety to the Ph.D. In fact, since you'll be saving so much money, get three Ph.D.s to work on it simultaneously and independently. In fact, tell them it's first to publish - sorry, I mean launch - and you'll probably see them work 24/7 until it's done. In fact, what you've just done is start an industry funded research project. You should now go to a university, "collaborate" such that they get to put their name on the project, and you get to harvest their Ph.D. candidates for minimum wage, and you're laughing all the way to the bank!

That's all that needs to be said, isn't it?
A meticulously placed fingerprint was made on a clean and polished glass surface as if it was being taken by the police. Nothing like a normal fingerprint left by accident.
I understand that iPhone (and iPad) allow IT to enforce setting of password (1). I think from the security perspective, IT is more worried about ability to remotely manage the device (like remote wipes in case of loss etc).

Edit: I realized that the link is for iOS 6 - though I wouldn't expect them to reduce business IT functionality, not sure if these options are still in iOS 7.
We're discussing which projects were original developments and which were follow-ons. The criteria you mention opens doors to wild speculation concerning shortcomings of very many projects on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
It appears this script uses the Canvas element to determine the colour to make the overlaying text or element. It might be worth noting in the README that for images to work being loaded from a CDN like Amazon Cloudfront or Amazon S3 that the header access-control-allow-origin needs to be set to . So like-so: access-control-allow-origin: — otherwise your Canvas is tainted and you can't get the image data out of it due to security restrictions...
It may not require low-latency dynamic audio at all. It could be that you could transfer many ms of signal to the hardware in advance to ease your timing requirements.
> Yes, they are blunt and provocative, but that's how you incite debate and bring about more attention to your cause.

Only if it's a cause people have any reason to care about. Otherwise you look like a crank. The FSF's lack of understanding of people who are not obsessively like them has delivered them firmly to "crank" territory and they have been there for most of the time I've been aware of their existence (so 12-ish years at least?).

They make more reasonable people and more reasonable arguments seem less valid to most people through their existence. Which is fine to me, I find "free software" distasteful and preachy, but if they actually wanted to be successful, they'd turn down the steadfast unwillingness to understand normal people a whole lot.
True, but starting from C makes more sense. C++ would be fine as a second language.
This will end Poopin' tweets. http://poopinrules.com
This is the data point I questioned as well in the infographic. Without more info from the original survey as reference this stat as meaningless.

I certainly hope that any parent would have earned far more than $10k working the same hours they spent teaching.

To be valid you'd really need to do a total accounting of time and costs. The means lost income by the parent offset by time not lost due to driving to/from school and such.
I think it would be pretty easy to get many people's phone password -- just by being in the right place when they unlock it, and watching closely. Most people I know don't cover up their phone at all when they enter it, even in public.

So you don't need to get "in someone's head". You just need a good view of them using it.

Granted, getting an iTunes Store password by just watching would be a lot harder. But compared to the 4-digit lock screen pw (or even the Android shape pw) TouchID seems a bit more secure, at least to me.
"Jobs for the boys" is a universal in Australian politics. Scan the resumé of anyone appointed to any board, committee, commission, agency etc etc and you will usually find clear connections to one of the majors.
Personally there's just nothing about the website or the shirt designs that makes me want to consider it over any of the other sites that have way more designs, more style options, and are cheaper.

You'll need to either pick a niche, or outdo them in either designs, price, or variety.
Does this conspiracy theory that Turnbull is doing Murdoch's bidding have any ... you know ... evidence?

The cui bono is just stupidly thin. Murdoch makes bugger all on his Australian operations. If he divested the lot Wall Street would cheer, holler and stamp its feet.

Edit: "quo vadis" indeed. What's the Latin for malapropism?
Are you kidding me? Many movies on that list are both critical and box-office successes.
Well, the point is that it's a common belief the thing A was stolen, not developed independently, and in practice for a state of the art technical achievement you usually already have to be pretty damn good just to be able to copy verbatim, not to mention to have substantial advantages.

I won't say Concord was copied from Tu-144. Similarly, I wouldn't say soviet electronics was just a rip-off; there were enough original works even outside of the relatively well known BESM-6 project. Even to copy chips in 1980-s it takes you to have the necessary technology for reverse engineering - something I doubt any country ever had on that scale, at least at the time.
One thing that always puzzled me about the NBN rollout was why they chose to do the least populated areas first? It seems that it would have helped to allay the cost concerns if they had brought it to more populated areas where the customer uptake would have been greater. By doing places like remote Tasmania (among other small customer base areas), they pretty much guaranteed disappointing numbers up front.

You're right of course, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I typed that.

I of course mean the (typically backscatter x-ray) full body scanners.
Three Kings actually paints the military in a good light as benevolent, and ultimately having the best interests of the Iraqi people: http://www.bgsu.edu/departments/theatrefilm/projector/page91...
Especially having more than one space station at the same time. There were Mir and Salut-7, with cosmonauts flying between them, and there were Mir and ISS - without such flights, since they were in the different orbital planes.
The rollout plan is based on engineering reasons.

The close correlation between rollout priority and marginal electorates is purely coincidental.
I also happen to think the Soviet moon project was about 80% complete. No showable results, though - which allowed to deny the very existence of the project - but at least the hardware heritage is still there in the flying systems.
> Clinical psychiatry and psychology are areas of neuroscience these days ...

Quote false. To a greater degree than in the past, psychiatry and psychology are moving away from science, not toward it. The situation has gotten so extreme and frankly embarrassing for those who want to see more science in mental health, that the director of the NIMH has decided to drop support for the new DSM (DSM-5), arguing that the mentally ill "deserve better":

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/director/2013/transforming-dia...

Quote: " While DSM has been described as a “Bible” for the field, it is, at best, a dictionary, creating a set of labels and defining each. The strength of each of the editions of DSM has been “reliability” – each edition has ensured that clinicians use the same terms in the same ways. The weakness is its lack of validity."

There's more. The editor of the previous DSM, DSM-IV, Allen Frances, watched the process that led to DSM-5 with increasing amazement and dismay. He now strongly recommends that professionals avoid the DSM entirely -- he recommends that people not teach it or use it:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/psychiatry-allen...

How important is this? The DSM is to psychiatry and psychology what the Standard Model is to physics -- to a large extent it defines the field and it is the leading reference for theory and practice. And it has gotten so embarrassing that the most influential psychiatrist in the country (the NIMH director) is abandoning it, choosing to move in a more scientific direction.

> ... so I don't quite understand the "historic meltdown" point, any references on that?

See above. And read what others are saying:

http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2010/03/01/100...

Quote: "[Psychiatrist and writer] Greenberg is repeating a common criticism of contemporary psychiatry, which is that the profession is creating ever more expansive criteria for mental illness that end up labelling as sick people who are just different—a phenomenon that has consequences for the insurance system, the justice system, the administration of social welfare, and the cost of health care."

Believe me when I tell you, I could produce scores of similar criticisms from within the field, by people who are mental health professionals but who are incensed by what's happening to the field.

I have to say that anyone in the field of mental health who doesn't see fundamental changes coming, hasn't been keeping up with current events.
Soooo many muggings (even killings) in NYC are for iPhones. Just iPhones. I've read safety announcements that reported muggers who literally gave back the victim's phone once they realized it wasn't an iPhone.
Another gem:

> Instead, the document (the whistleblower's testimony), along with the commission’s other records, was sealed and sent off to the National Archives, where it may be reviewed beginning in 2016. “Why five years?” Mr. Bowen wondered. “I don’t know. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that five years is the statute of limitation for fraud.”
Being negative
It's a nice little language, and I dislike Lua's 1-origin indexing a lot (no real problem with its object system otherwise).

However, despite taking some 200K compiled, Lua does give you a lot of things for that dirtier object system or origin (or other things you'll dislike).

Some of those things are already planned by yourself, some you'll find out that you need only with enough usage, and others may be outside the scope of Solid. A partial list:

0. A reasonably efficient GC

1. Very fast portable interpreter - faster than most other portable interpreters (e.g. Ruby, Python) with comparable dynamic behaviour

2. A crazy fast JIT compiler (LuaJIT2) fully compatible with that interpreter that rivals compiled and optimized static languages, and is available for many common architectures (x86, AMD64, various PPC, various ARM)

3. Useful built in data type like a dictionary/array ("table"), strings and floating point math, C user definable structure.

4. A vast ecosystem, different in nature than Python's or Ruby's (geared towards embedding rather than direct use), but definitely there and definitely useful.

Once you implement the infrastructure required for these, you'll find out that magically, you're not much shorter than Lua after all (if at all), and that some things just cannot be matched (JITting. Unless you're the 10 people or so that have made PyPy happen. Or you are Mike Pall).

Still, it's a nice little language, and seems quite well written (though the choice of vm.regs[255] for a return value is likely to bite you at some point - make a macro for that, at the very least, to guard you against a type of 244 or 266 or 2555 or any other random number).

And if you are looking for inspiration for some features, another interesting and practical little language is Aardappel's Lobster: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster ; I really like the fresh approaches that he takes.
What does life-integrated mean?
I was going to comment on some inaccuracies and general misunderstandings in the article. Then I found this at the top of the page: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/08/violations-of-edit...

_Wired_ doesn't want his stuff anymore because, well, it's kind of crap journalism.
Given that there is no array built in type, and the closest thing (list) is a lisp style linked list, I wouldn't expect it to be speedy in any non-trivial benchmark (or real-world use) that requires random access.
Side note, but I learned about the dangers of acetaminophen when I was on Vicodin while recovering from a major surgery a few years back. Back then, a lot of Vicodin tablets (and generics) had doses as high as 500mg of acetaminophen per pill, and I could have sworn I saw them go as high as 750 in some instances. (The FDA has since lowered the cap to 350, in light of the huge risk of liver damage).

The drug was almost banned from the U.S. market entirely in 2009, and not because of the hydrocodone. The acetaminophen is more deadly than the hydrocodone in the quantities consumed per day.
Well, critical success means nothing. As far as financial success goes, post 1991 there isn't much.

>>There's going to be a lot of energetic, healthy people with time on their hands -- even more than at present.

To some extent its correct.

But by and large there will be a lot of energetic, healthy people who will want to make more money with that extra time on their hands.
