Also, why 100Mbps Ethernet??

1.) It records to SD card. Ethernet is just used for live preview, not production footage.

2.) The bottleneck is the internal buffer. (and H.264 encoding) Gigabit ethernet wouldn't be fast enough to stream uncompressed high-speed video. Upgrading to either 10 gigabit ethernet (expensive!) or realtime 1000FPS H.264 encoding (really expensive!) would break the $5,000 budget.

cool the sensor to lower the noise floor and thus
require less light

Difficult...

A high speed camera obviously has to have very short exposure times in order to work at all. (Can't get faster than 2FPS with a 1/2s exposure time)

The general rule of thumb is that you can trade off one "stop" in either direction-- 1/100, f/4, ISO200 is the same as 1/50 f/5.6 ISO200 is the same as 1/100, f/5.6, ISO400.

My guess is that even with heroic cooling (liquid nitrogen) you'd only get from the usual wildly excessive lighting needed for high-speed cameras, down to merely "really bright." You'd never get to a point where you can light a scene with just indoor lighting.
I would add culture to that whereby executive leadership and downward did not admit to problems and felt the platform was infallible. As a graduate of Waterloo, I can attest that between 2008-2011 people in the KW area were steadfast in denying the future of mobile and the underlying problems at RIM/BlackBerry.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by non-hoisting properties? According to the MDN docs let variables are hoisted, at least to the enclosing block.
How do I report a vulnerability?
I think this even misses the broader point a little. For political opponents of particular government actions, constitutional protection against illegal searches and seizures do not exist if you travel internationally. Of course, DHS has been given extraordinary power when it comes to searches and seizure under the presumption that those powers would be used only to protect our boarders. But here they've been used to circumvent the legal framework for searches pertaining to domestic investigations, which exist largely so this sort of thing won't happen. The DHS has broken that presumed mandate, and abused its extraordinary powers not for heroic ends like the action movie cop that just wants to get the ultimate bad guy, but to harass people associated with inconvenient political groups. It's evidence that, as we might have suspected if we were more rational as a country after 9/11, that no government agency, no matter how noble its mandate, can handle the responsibility of being handed its own reigns. It's a clear indication that the full power of the constitution needs to encompass all government agencies and all of their associated actions.

Blackberry's slide starts around October 2011. News search is a little more flat, but that probably reflects the fact that tech journalists like to compare the rise of one thing to the fall of another. Google search reflects what people are looking for in general, so it covers people looking up information on the phone and OS, not just news.

Oddly, Blackberry is still in the lead on image and shopping search. It was tied with iOS on youtube until recently.

Ethan. I agree that Linda`s stori is really great, on monday I bought a new GMC from having made $6642 this last five weeks and-just over, $10 thousand this past-munth. it's certainly the most-rewarding I have ever done.

>They followed Microsoft's path of screwing developers which clearly was a bad move.

Can you elaborate? From what I've seen RIM made a pretty significant effort to court developers to its platform - the users and revenue just weren't there, so it was not that tempting for developers no matter what RIM said or did.
Well, it doesn't degrade gracefully if you have js turned off (NoScript by default here).

One thing I've learned from Judge Judy is that you should document all of this and keep any evidence you might be able to use in your defense. For instance, you should have some proof that you refunded the money, if at all possible. It makes you look much better if you have documents and the other guy doesn't. And anything is often better than nothing.
Patrick,

How did you transition from that first AR client to the next? Did you simply close them on the spot?
I still don't quite get what that means. If you click Python, why is Ruby highlighted, but not Django?
This was actually going to be the first thing I posted when I read this link.

tptacek repeatedly assured everyone that this was absolutely not a big deal and meant nothing because nobody in their right mind uses the standard.

Except whoops, one of, if not the, largest players in the field. I'm sure he'll have a bunch of really great replies that manage to simultaneously say why this still isn't a big deal and passive-aggresively insult our knowledge of the situation. I look forward to reading what he has to say.

OK, here's the miscommunication: due to your edit

> The A7 runs ARMv7 or ARMv8 using a sort-of A57 dual-core architecture

I understood your use of the word "hybrid" as applying to the ARMv7 compatibility in an ARMv8 chip (which there's nothing hybrid about, since it's part of ARMv8's features).

And apparently you intended it as "Apple's custom chips are relatively minor customizations of standard ARM designs", which you seem to think of as a hybrid between using standard designs and designing from scratch.

Carry on.
> A civil lawsuit system with proof requirements for damages but full exposure to at least all actual damages is the middle ground

It's trickier than that. Will the prosecution pay the defense's attorney fees if the doctor wins? Because otherwise you incentivize frivolous suits meant to force the defense to settle because winning is more expensive than settling.
Based on recent events, maybe you shouldn't be traveling anywhere, period.

So, one should give up their freedom of movement because "recent events" have caused institutions to implement policies to eliminate it? Also, "everybody's doing it" is a pretty distasteful rationale.
I completely agree, especially around the permissions.

I'm also worried that this is the end. Every previous company thats built decent 'prosumer' or 'power-user' phones appears to be dead or dying.

I loved my Palm Pre (WebOS), it was my first smartphone. They're dead now.

I upgraded to an HTC Arrive (Windows Phone 7), but HTC's slowly dying off, and no one makes (or Microsoft blocks?) hardware keyboards for that platform now. Windows Phone also didn't support any notifications or push notifications at the time (and 'live tiles' aren't solid enough to replace them).

I upgraded to a Motorola Photon Q. Software's ok, and there's no terrible skin. But the battery life and reception are both terrible (and the battery is sealed in, so every day it gets worse...). I knew the sealed battery was a mistake, I tried it anyway and got burned. Won't be making that mistake again.

The Q10 was my last refuge. When BlackBerry goes away, I suspect there will be literally nothing left for me to turn to.

One additional difference is that interview coding questions don't have a realistic working environment. Programmers utilize tools like search engines, IDEs and documentation, but these may be not available in a coding interview question, which might mandate a programmer to work on a whiteboard or using unfamiliar software.

Samsung is actually having trouble meeting their own internal demand for components. IIRC, they were even getting memory from arch-rival Hynix at some point this year. Having Apple dial back might not be such a bad thing for Samsung if it helps sort out their internal supply chain.

12 Awesome Social Media Facts and Statistics for 2013
According to the author of SuperMemo, the lifetime cost of learning a particular fact for life, in a perfectly structured spaced repetition system, is between 30 seconds and 5 minutes[1]. Thus, you should never memorize a fact that will come up so rarely and is trivial enough to look up that it doesn't exceed that lifetime threshold. The vast majority of state and national capitals fall into the "not worth it" category.

Also, most students don't have nearly the efficiency of learning that a spaced repetition system affords (Especially Wozniak's highly optimized system wherein he has a database that he habitually has quizzed daily for years), so for them the cost is dramatically higher.

1: http://www.supermemo.com/articles/useless.htm

> lifetime minimum cost of remembering a single well-formulated piece of knowledge can easily be estimated to fall into the range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes (minimum cost is the cost that is achieved using the optimally spaced repetition schedule). This estimation can be used in cost-benefit analysis in deciding which mission-critical pieces of knowledge should be subject to learning based on spaced repetition

That's called one-point safety. One detonation point, that is. It relies on the fact that, to achieve nuclear yield, the plutonium core must be compressed symmetrically. That requires that all the shaped charges placed around the core are set off nearly simultaneously. If they are not (e.g., if the bomb is in a fire, and the first charge cooks off), then the core is destroyed without being compressed in the manner necessary to initiate a chain reaction.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_design#Warhead_d...
The way I look at it, is that Apple is trying to have its way by shopping between Samsung, TSMC, and any others. Their leverage doing this comes from offering bulk purchases, or in the case of LCDs, helping to finance large capital expenditures. Their biggest worry right now is that Samsung's competition doesn't seem able to compete, at least at scale.

At the end of the day though, if push ever comes to shove, there isn't much they couldn't afford to buy outright, even their own fabs. I was holding out hope that they were trying to save 200B to build out their own wireless infrastructure, but they could conceivably buy control of Intel instead.
Who cares? If bb want me to shell out 600 quid now their product has to compete with the phones of now not the ones from six years ago.

These are always more easily seen looking from the future into the past, than they are in the past looking to the future.

Few companies, with the market share RIM had, see threats as 'near term'. Fewer still have a deep appreciation for the entirety of the technology stack and the time it takes to move things. This is especially true of young executives but can happen to anyone.

RIM's technology stack matured over many years, from idea to business juggernaut. What that tells you is that moving the stack is also going to take years, so if you're experienced you start looking 5 - 6 years out not 1 - 2 years out.

When the iPhone hit, and Google was close behind, that was a huge signal. But Ballmer and Microsoft dismissing it, was a huge counter-signal. If you're an enterprise IT company, and the biggest company in Enterprise IT in the market place is dismissing the iPhone as a 'fad', you might be inclined to believe them rather than your own people who are saying "this is a threat".

At some point you get behind the power curve. In airplanes once you are behind the curve there is literally nothing you can do which will prevent you from eventually crashing. The same it true in companies. RIM apparently decided early on that Microsoft was a more credible indicator of the future than Apple/Google for their marketplace. And they have paid the ultimate price for that.

Possibly; that's not how I read that response, because it that and variations upon it really are common responses when speaking of a Phone Other Than My Favorite, and your interpretation seems to be seldom how it's intended. (It's also not something you typically see as much of here, so it stood out a bit.)

To your point, though - aside from some gee-whiz features like fingerprint capture, it offers similar features and functionality as iOS. More in some ways, less in others.

The only thing it actually doesn't offer is the range apps - most importantly apps that everyone puts out by default for android and iphone. (And consequently provides additional free advertising for those platforms) Their legacy OS left a bad taste and so they never captured mindshare of mobile developers. Combine that with a complete failure of marketing, and it never had a chance at large-scale uptake.
Can you tell me about the other alternatives? I'm actually interested in this and I have searched for alternatives at least to see how they look.

How popular is ASP as a stack? I'm looking at

http://langpop.corger.nl/

http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index....

http://langpop.com/

https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/pypl/PyPL-PopularitY...

And ASP doesn't make the list, presumably because it is a framework rather than a language per se -- both C# and Visual Basic make the list, but that's not really a good indicator. I don't really know anything about the Microsoft stack, and I don't know anybody who does.

To clarify: I'm not denying ASP is popular, I'm just asking if you know of a good metric to gauge its relative popularity. Apparently Github wouldn't be a good indicator either?
It irks me that many people are calling this a backdoor. It's not. It's a vulnerability. You have to exploit it to get in.
However with Ruby 1.9 - 2.0 (2.1 will support generational gc, finally) the performance of Ruby (with ORM and non-c frameworks, like phalcon and Yaf) is drawing close to parity with PHP.[1] I think that what drove diaspora's failure is the lack of people who truly care to run their own nodes. There's a pretty steep "cost of acquisition" to get a single diaspora user.

> It's "cool" to be a nerd now, only in the sense that you can generally like whatever you want and be accepted for it.

Can we stop for a moment to appreciate how amazing this is? As a social development, this is something I could barely even conceptualize when I was in high school at the turn of the millenia.
A doctor that makes a small mistake doesn't deserve to be ruined, but should have to deal with increased malpractice insurance premiums. A doctor that makes an egregious mistake may well deserve to be ruined, as does one that deliberately engages in malpractice (in this case, collusion about the diagnosis, which undercuts the entire scientific foundation of medicine).

The problem is that so-called tort-referom laws protect the bad and truly incompetent actors just as much as they protect the good-but-unlucky ones. In the case we're discussing here, all the economic risk has been transferred to the patient.

$250,000 is peanuts in medical expense terms, about the starting annual salary of a specialist and certainly much less than the annual salary of most surgeons or oncologists. So the doctor has perhaps 6 months salary at stake (leaving aside malpractice insurance for simplicity), whereas the patient may be facing an economic burden running into the tens of millions. A burden which you and I as taxpayers will eventually be sharing, when by rights it should have fallen on the malpractitioners, their employers, and their insurers.

For those who say that the insurance costs will just get passed on to the public in the form of higher medical costs, this is not actually the case due to price elasticity. In meantime, I can only advise avoiding malpractice states in general and Texas in particular. Txas likes to boast that licensing of new doctors has gone up by 25% since the law was enacted in 2003, but Texas is still ranked 46th nationally in terms of doctor:patient ratio, with only 176 doctors per 100k people instead of the national mean of 219. [1] so it's harder to see a doctor, they can charge more, and you have no comeback if they fuck up.

Hmm... that does make your data collection tricky. Ideally you have something that captures events as they happen, in a nice format, rather than waiting on summary report views.

Looks like you already built an API similar to ours, but if you ever reach scale/maintenance/availability bottlenecks then check us out.

Most of our customers use charts that query in realtime when the page loads or the user adds a filter or whatever, but batching reporting like you describe is a way to optimize the page load time.

Generally we want to help developers before they already built the solution themselves. I think your homegrown solution is probably exactly what you need right now to validate your product in the market. When you want to invest more in your architecture for improved performance, scalability, or reliability, then you can consider building v2.0 on Keen IO :)

I really hope they get funded, but for a hobbyist the camera is still pretty expensive. I suspect there are many "weekend" GoPro users who would love to have a supplemental camera that shoots at 240 or 480 fps instead of of the GoPro Hero3's max of 120 (ideally also getting rid of the rolling shutter). But, I think a camera like that would only really sell if you can get the price down to below $500. That way you can use the camera in interesting, somewhat risky locations, but while it still hurts, it's not the end of the world if you lose it or break it.
A big help for me has been trying to fall in line with the natural circadian rhythm of sleep. Try to get to bed early, and make sure your room is as dark as possible. Turn off your computer and/or TV some time before bed (I hear recommendations of 30 minutes, I just try to go for ~15). Try to wake up with light, whether that's with a sunrise alarm clock that emulates the dawn, or the natural sunrise.

I really enjoyed this article on sleep optimization that was posted on HN recently: http://brianmartinek.com/2013/08/22/three-simple-ways-that-i...

Finally, working out is a tremendous help. Especially if you can try to do a workout that maximizes the release of hormones like endorphins and testosterone.
Simple deployment with git
Description of a really basic git deployment strategy.
I would agree with you. In a former life I had interactions with BB in a sales capacity. I sold into or had customers at many of the Top 50 "tech" companies. BB/Rim had one of the strangest, most insular cultures I came across. Maybe early on they felt really patronized by US/SV VC's/companies etc and so were anti US. Either way it was quite odd. I really wondered how that would end up working out for them.
I'm sorry, it's Friday and I'm a little exhausted, so my sarcasm meter is on the fritz. Apologies if I'm inducing a facepalm in saying this, but...

Nike's playbook -- as made famous by Phil Knight in the 70s, 80s, and 90s -- was to market a lifestyle, not a shoe. Nike is an incredibly innovative marketing company, and Steve Jobs himself fondly referenced Phil Knight's work at Nike as inspiration for how he thought about marketing at Apple.
randomly?
Aside from starting on and solving business problems, I think it's hard to tell where to start.

I think it might be worth adding that aside from the cliche "solve your own problems" that you'd typically get. One possible approach might be to look at technical problems you're interested in solving and figuring out where tech like that is used and working your way down to the business case like that. This of course applies to the programmer out there. For non technical, it might be worth mentioning starting from hobbies you enjoy and blogging about those. From that you might be able to explore and ask different kinds of questions that people might have.

Your best business idea will probably come by accident.

It may not be an optimal approach, but it definitely got me started.
