I'm curious about something though, the author "golfcharlie232" has a great youtube channel [1] with lots of cool videos, but this one is copied off youtube into its own little player. So basically its taking ad revenue away from this guy (I presume he keeps the ad revenue).

What is up with that?

Tizen can run android apps. So they have the largest ecosystem. Samsung has a huge brand, they could easily make Tizen a competitor by deploying it on Galaxy Phone in the future. Consumers wouldn't know (or care).

Not sure how you can judge a whole companies software engineers, based on one project (Touchwiz).

Paraphrasing some recent studies, it turns out that the largest determinant of one's 'happiness' is how well one is doing compared to one's peers. The happiness of individual members of a peer group doesn't say much about how that group compares to its own peer groups at the next level up, which in this case would be other national economies and economic schools of thought.

Put another way, I imagine the World Happiness Index published last week by the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network would have been impressed with the "progress" made in places such as Jonestown, Guyana.
>I don't think form breaks down after a few reps nearly as much as you say.

Then you don't know much about training the Olympic lifts or power movements in general. Take a look at this graph -- http://i.imgur.com/vFP0D58.png -- from Practical Programming for Strength Training (Rippetoe, Kilgore, & Pendlay, pg. 131). "Figure 5-3. Electromyogram (EMG) and force production tracings from a high-rep set. Note that the muscle fatigues as more repetitions are completed and that motor control erodes with fatigue, as evidenced by the amplitude scatter of the EMG tracing. This effect can result from a single set, as presented here, or can be the cumulative result of repeated sets." Even by the seventh rep of a single set there's a noticable breakdown shown in the graph. Multiple high rep sets are going to show more and more issues of coordination from even the first rep, especially mixed into circuit training with other high intensity exercises like you'll find in Crossfit WODs.
First you cannot sell anything unless you figure out your target market. In order to do that you need to find a problem in the target market that isn't solved or isn't solved very well, then solve it and make a product and/or service for it. Make sure it is a large market or else you will niche market yourself into a hard to grow area.

Second if there is a goldrush for something, instead of becoming a miner, become a general store and sell them tools, picks, and shovels instead. If you write programs write libraries, development tools, templates, websites and ebooks on the subject, and other things. Remember that in most goldrushes miners will find fool's gold or not find any gold at all. But the ones selling them the tools will always earn money.

Third take care of your customers so they become repeat customers. You might have to offer them discounts or free stuff, as long as it helps them decide to keep coming back.

Fourth do a SWATT analysis. Strengths, Weaknesses, Analysis, Threats, Trends. Focus on your strengths, cover your weaknesses, analyze everything you can, look at threats like competitor's products and tech that can make your product obsolete, and then watch trends so you know how to avoid threats by innovating your products and services.

I think the difference is "armed" verses "guns drawn". You can't expect anyone to raid an allegedly illegal operation or building or confront someone without at least having a weapon on them.

A gun in my face or pointed at me without me presenting any danger to that person would be unacceptable.

It's not easy to properly assess a situation when you are waving a gun around. Requiring an officer/agent to draw his weapon would give him a few extra critical seconds to judge whether or not someone/something is an actual threat.

If an officer/agent busts into a room with a gun drawn and I set down a water bottle too fast or startles my 30 pound dog, then I or my pet has the chance of being shot unnecessarily, that's unacceptable and is something that needs to change.

The Fed is not driven by a profit motive, but rather acts in the best interests of the people of the United States. This makes it as opposite of a hedge fund as you can get.

Buffett is tongue-lashing the Fed in public because Buffet's investments won't do well if inflation hits, and he wants the Fed to reabsorb all of the money it has printed before inflation appears.

People pushing you to go harder in a workout and "friends" pushing you in a chug-chug situation are not at all the same things. I choose to steer clear of those "friends", but that's beside the point. People cheering for you can never know your state, and there's really very little external pressure. If a coach is screaming at me and I don't feel it's safe to do more, I stop. And I'm sure that's what CrossFit will say too. You can't blame CrossFit for random people with a broken internal governor doing their workouts unsafely. CrossFit workouts are a powerful tool. When someone shoots themselves in the foot with it, they are the ones responsible assuming they have been educated properly. Hence Uncle Rhabdo.

This article suggests that BB lost because it did not focus on the consumer soon enough. I'm going to completely disagree and argue that even if they had done this, they would still be dying now. Their fate would have been the same had they made consumer friendly phones in 2008.

In 2008 I believed android would dominate the smartphone market. This was even before the first android phone was brought to market. Most consumers had not even heard of android back then and the iPhone was quickly gaining market share. Why did I think this back then?

What killed BB is, at core, the result of Geography. It is not only the fate of societies, a la Jared Diamond, but the fates of tech companies that geography can influence. In 2008, I was living in northern California and you could sense the amount of developer interest in android. What android did and BB couldn't do (or really try) was to win over developers. Many were upset at Apple's process for publishing apps. Google did everything to address those concerns. Instead of winning over consumers first, android won over the developers who then made the apps to bring those consumers. BB was just too far away and too out of touch to see any of this.

The world is not flat. Place matters. If it were as simple as focusing on consumers, why did Nokia lose despite doing this all along? -Geography! And why did android win despite not initially focusing on consumers? (the G1 was a crappy phone). The winners (android and IOS) won because they're located in Silicon valley where most of the best developers are. The losers (Nok, RIMM) lost because they weren't.
It's not trolling. You're not actually putting up an argument. you're just kind of handwaving around what you want to be true.

You have been completely unwilling to say what CF actually is. Since you refuse to pick a solid position, I'll go ahead and claim it's eating doughnuts. CF is literally just eating doughnuts. Depending on your goals, you might want to adjust the doughnut eating program somewhat. Some days you might want to skip the doughnut eating altogether. But at it's core all you have to do to satisfy CF is eat doughnuts.

So, you see, all of your statements are compatible with the doughnut eating core of CF. You've managed to escape making any actual statement about reality. Enjoy your career in middle management.
That wasn't my experience of Stanford's EE or CS profs at all. They sometimes take a sabbatical for a year to work on a startup, but when they're on campus it always felt like they're fully engaged, and presenting up-to-date material.

Cheriton in particular is more of an academic purist than anything. He probably just believes that the old material is the right way to learn distributed systems, and all these new things are "just a fad".

I was part of Kealia as a chip designer, and I remember having a fight with Cheriton over buying a waveform viewer for RTL simulation. It's a basic tool that any chip person needs, but he felt it was just some fluffy GUI thing that real engineers wouldn't need.

That argument was a bit nuts, but I came to really like him and appreciate the purity of his perspective, even when I disagreed with it.
The ICA link was mostly to point out that your stated limit of US$100/occasion is too low, even for ICA. The ICA web site says the limit is over $400.

Thanks for the links! At the very least it helps me understand the relation between Swedish and similar US laws.

In the US, if you deposit or withdraw more than $10,000, or do transactions that appear to be done to get around the limit (like successive transactions of $9,999; so called 'structuring'), then the bank is obligated to file a report.

However, that report is filed in secret to the Feds.

It is possible for a US bank to freeze an account that they suspect it being used for laundering. That's different than having a teller decide on the spot if something is suspicious or not.

Are you aware of people who haven't been able to take money out of their account because they didn't want to tell the cashier why they were doing it?
Awesome product! The beginning of the video needs to be redone, stop switching the camera angle and get rid of the techno music. I'd recommend starting the video with a timelapse of a printing with some basic explanation audio.
most sprays are gentle

If you say so. Last spray setup I saw was a garden hose with a pistol-nozzle at the end (in Indonesia, no paper provided). Even assuming some other more-gentle delivery mechanism, the geometries make it seem likely some of the 'rinse' will drip back onto the nozzle, higher areas of the toiler, and other parts of the lower body. Paper allows precision.

check with your hand

Yuck! Even though hands get a wash later, the paper approach has as its goal: hand never contacts feces, toilet/black water, or rectum area.

•leaving dried fecal matter in your rectum*

If you're wiping fresh feces with proper paper, there isn't any visible fecal matter when finished.

Perhaps there's trace residue below visual perception. If so, it's not obvious that a gentle rinse with water alone would be any better at removing/sterilizing that. (A powerful rinse might help: but we've ruled that out to prevent splatter. A rinse with soapy water might help: but that doesn't seem to be the standard. Extra physical wiping with damp tissue might help, so that's sometimes done if there's a fresh-water source within reach.)
I was implying that when I said "countries in the world that are big enough to have their independent macroeconomic policy", but that was somewhat glossing over the issues you've raised.

I'm not a macro expert, but my understanding is that a country need not be completely autonomous in order to have its own macro policy. Goods cannot flow perfectly between countries, and so macro policy will always have some effect.

The more a country imports and exports, and the smaller the country, the less impact its macro policy will have.

So the reserve bank of China can influence Chinese interest rates and hence have an impact on the Chinese economy. On the other hand the reserve bank of a "small open economy" cannot do much to change interest rates.

>>> You just said there's no "crossfit the program" - crossfit.com publishes stuff, but no one has obligation to follow it. So what exactly you're calling bullshit?

I absolutely never said "there's no crossfit the program". I said the crossfit programming is, to use my word, bullshit. I never said there was no crossfit the program. I'm very adamant that there actually IS a crossfit program, crossfit.com, and it just plain terrible, not well thought out, and leaves people open to injury.

And I won't quote the rest of your replies, but to suffice it to say, no you likely aren't crossfitting. Perhaps you do a WOD (Grace or such) now and then. You might be working out at crossfit affiliate, but you are likely using custom programming. My point with my personal example is most people conflate crossfit and cross training. I'm surely not crossfitting. I've been working out this way years before crossfit ever existed. Now, though, if someone saw me working out they ask me if I "crossfit". I'm not and likely neither are 90% of the people working out at crossfit affiliates.

At my little biotech/bioinformatics startup (this was 13 years ago), pretty much everyone had a PhD. What made us somewhat different was that only a few of us had done any postdoctoral work.
NPR had a good story, "Helicopter Parents Hover in the Workplace", back in early 2012, about parents thrusting themselves into their adult children's work lives by doing things like applying for jobs for the child, calling the employer to ask for raises for the child, and coming to interviews with the child [1].

Resistance is futile. (unfortunately)
I don't get it either, it's impossible to not lookup real workouts and find stuff like starting strength and good basic lifting routines. Maybe it's less intimidating or something since there are classes for it.

What really killed BBRY was not providing any added value. And actually destroying any added value that they had over competitors (I made another comment about that in another thread — I don't want to get too annoying).

The "BYOD" culture is some crucial damage for BlackBerry. But what will wipe them off the map isn't really that, but rather, not being even an option for a second device, enterprise-only. Because they've got nothing to add.
I used to agree completely with you, but now I realize that, given the second law of thermodynamics, it's impossible to restore an entire ecosystem back to a previous state. From what I hear, one goal of ending climate change is to allow icecaps to re-form and to last longer throughout the year, which ostensibly will end the suffering of polar bears "stranded" at sea. However, even if we did remove all excess amounts of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere (which, as of today, is something that's barely discussed seriously), it's not going to suddenly reverse the adapted behavior of polar bears. This is a totally hypothetical and unscientific story, but let's pretend that the ice caps melted such that polar bears were forced inland and began foraging for food in human-populated areas. In response, the government of Canada single-handedly puts up the money to remove all excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Over a period of decades, the ice grows back, but: do we really expect the polar bear population, which has now adapted to foraging for garbage, to suddenly move back to their initial habitat? Chances are, food will be more plentiful for them in a human-populated area. Now let's assume that polar bears play a significant role in seal population control. Well, now that the polar bears have adapted and are now living further inland, the seal population booms in the arctic region. In fact, it gets so big, that now penguin populations are in rapid decline! So, at this point, we've spent probably trillions of dollars, haven't really helped the polar bears at all, and have directly contributed to the endangerment of penguins. And this is all assuming that our plan even works! Not to mention the fact that there may be other species that died off that played a huge impact on balancing the ice-filled arctic ecosystem.

So, given that scenario, I think the better question to ask is, what benefit would we, as humans, get from a return to a cooler Earth? IMO wildlife will take care of itself: adapt, die off, etc. the same way it always has. BUT, I think that too often the focus is put on sad-looking animals and melted snowcaps, which makes it seem like global warming is just an "environmentalist" issue rather than a serious threat to human life.
Open Well-Tempered Clavier
Doesn't sound like he had much of a portfolio of launched apps. Just one 47k lines project is the only one he was specific about. The rest was about education that doesn't matter much.

If he really wants a programming job he should get his hands dirty and publish some apps, either alone or meeting up with tech meetup or study group. A PhD is not studying how to code, you just may code a little as a by product. Then he could talk about launching and features and getting code done day after day instead of talking incessantly about education, and he'd land the job.

Kind of strange he wasn't able to place due to the old boys network, though. I know tons of people running startups who simply check their alma mater first and foremost when hiring. Especially schools like his.

Reminds me of the classic joke:

A surgeon has a backed up sink, and he calls a plumber. The plumber comes, works for 15 minutes, fixes the drain, and gives the surgeon his bill.

"Six hundred dollars?!?," the surgeon exclaims. "For fifteen minutes? I'm a surgeon and even I don't make that kind of money!"

"Yeah," replies the plumber. "I didn't make that kind of money when I was a surgeon, either."

Certainly the conclusion can't be that the legality of your actions depends on the reaction of an automated system at the other end of a pipe that you don't control?

I have no problem with basing it off intent, but the focus should be on prosecuting whoever put that data out there in the first place with gross negligence.

Hidden iTunes Radio Stations
Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive. What they hide is vital.

iOS is responsible for more than the raw numbers suggest. iOS begat Android, WP7, and countless lesser imitations. Whether this was through inspiration, as I believe, or outright theft, as Apple maintains, is immaterial.

The fact is that the modern smartphone market was born with the introduction of the iPhone. All else before was prelude.

Peercover - The Answer to the Insurance Problem
There are some areas of CS that are more along those lines. They're less common in the industries represented on HN, though.

One example that comes to mind is graphics: places like Pixar and ILM heavily hire PhDs for R&D work, developing rendering algorithms and infrastructure and the like. They do also hire non-PhDs, but without some equivalent research track record (e.g. a SIGGRAPH paper or two), usually not for R&D jobs.

I hadn't actually counted before, but if you go to http://graphics.pixar.com/research/people.html and look at the bios, 9 out of the 11 have a PhD, and there are more outside the formal research division.
Yes. They just require the source to be iTunes or the Mac.
The legality of your actions depends on whether you know, as you interact with the automated system, that you have managed to find a path to data that you should not have had access to.

So, if by incrementing ICC-IDs, you found random technical data about AT&T provisioning, it would be very hard to argue that you were knowingly accessing it without authorization. But when the information you find is so personal that your first instinct is chat about selling it to spamming rings, you are on considerably less safe footing.

I am ambivalent about software liability. Vulnerable software is much more common than most people think it is, and it would be a shame if ill-conceived liability rules created a situation for startups analogous to that of medical malpractice insurance. On the other hand, liability laws would be hugely lucrative for me.
I've always though push-ups would be the next thing. People can do them without a solid fitness base, the low effort means they usually have a high rep count attached to them, and a lot of people don't know how easy it is to do them wrong. The thing about muscle-ups is that most people can't do them without a little bit of coaching, so by the time they're doing them for reps, they know how to do them right.
I'm sure we can include Android in the GP's assessment. It's all part of the same movement of computer-grade devices replacing phones; and the chart makes it overwhelmingly clear the pair were a lethal combination.

Apple's "Godphone" keynote was a rude awakening for an industry who had dragged their heels for years, providing a rubbish experience for users and locking all but the largest developers from any access to their devices.
