I second this. I've discussed it in entirety with my parents, my girlfriend, her parents, and her siblings. They get it as well. They also don't care.

In fact, they're pretty much shocked at all the surprise and nerdrage on the internet right now. They responded almost universally the same way -- "We assumed this is how it's always been. This is a new thing?"
All I saw was a lot of bright white, something I try to avoid because it makes my eyes hurt. I kinda annoyed at apple for messing up an interface I really liked, I'm gonna have a hard time recommending it to un-tech savvy friends and family because (in my opinion) all this flatness makes it harder to use...

Up until this point I always recommended the iphone to anyone who just wanted a phone that worked, and didn't want to have to worry about bugs, or confusing UI (even though personally I'm a windows phone guy, I can't recommend the OS because it doesn't yet match the full feature set of iOS or Android).
My setup is relatively simple but I'm happy with it. All my content is stored on a Synology DiskStation DS213 NAS with 2x3TB RAID 0 configured drives. This is hands down the best NAS I've ever used. It's super easy to set up and the interface is awesome (all linux-based). I've set it up with Dynamic DNS/Port Forwarding so it's accessible from anywhere. The DS213 supports torrenting via the "Download Station" and I use various RSS feeds to automatically download the shows I like right on the NAS itself.

I stream content from the NAS to a little Pivos XIOS DS device running XBMC on the local network. This little streamer handles HD content easily and it's also officially supported by the XBMC team. I spray-painted it black so it looks very similar to an AppleTV2. The Pivos is connected to my Samsung TV and I use an MX-500 Universal Remote to control both the Pivos and my TV. It's a great remote with amazing IR range, you don't even need to aim it. Pretty regularly I will start a download on the NAS from work(or my phone) so it's done and waiting to be watched when I get home.

All in all I really like this setup - virtually no maintenance and it works perfectly for what I want. I went the whole custom LAMP + NAS Server route a few years back. It worked ok but eventually proved to be too difficult to use and maintain.
the oral microbiome model system is an anaerobic community; this apparatus allows you to connect a pH probe using the screw side for continuous pH monitoring (we already have a device that does this; but it's suboptimal for other reasons too) plus a second port that will be fitted with a septum to draw gas, draw samples, or add to the medium.
Without the safety net of the state, as the last few millenia of evidence shows, the default fate of suspected criminals is lynching.
I guess the biggest take away is that industrial design is not same as GUI design. I hope Johnny Ive will be strong enough to hire those Microsoft UX designers (Zune, XBOX etc) for iOS 8.
1. Hay Benzo's--work on your Prime Account page--especially the term and conditions--like 13 month interval for free 30 day prime trial membership. How many people click on that trial by accident; forgetting they once had it? I noticedyou don't send a receipt either?

2. Require your 2 party sellers to tell customers up front
about the availability of an item.

3. Require sellers to state more than they just paid for shipping.

If you;re in a commodity business and there are no other comparative advantages, then sure.
Killer story lines, character development, a few hours of play a day... I recommend Portal. It's short, but it kicks ass. Not many games have I considered playing through a second time immediately after the first.
The problem seems to be some people tend to do more than flatten their designs dimensionally (as in gradients, bevels, specular highlights etc).
They also 'flatten' the design as in reducing contrast, reducing lines/borders and other ways of separating and organizing information/data.
That's the problematic part to me. Hipmunk did that here.

SeatGeek is an example of almost pure dimensional flattening. It's pretty much the same. Just feels a bit cleaner and more elegant.
Especially notice how they replaced the shadow with a grey border. The shadow played the role of a separator. Thus they replaced it with a flat separator.
What the other kind of a 'flattener' might do is just throw away the separator completely. And that is where you can screw up.
You're writing with emotions, not facts.
What you got right is education and social mobility are key factors to less crime, Norway achieves this.

What you didn't get right is the role of the justice system. It's not the role of the justice system to pander to emotions. A judge does not sit down with the mother of a murder-rape victim and explain to her how she ought to feel, at least that is not the case in Norway. One could argue this is in fact the case in the US, in the sense that the laws the judges rule by pander to emotions.

Humans=\=Society. That is the gist of what I am saying.
Society is a construct, and it is not just a reflection of human nature, it is also a product of our ability to coexist.
Anyone who has been in a relationship knows coexisting means sacrifice, both emotionally and otherwise.
It is a great "workhorse" font. Awesome for noticing it. When Tapestry first launched it was the only font offered because of it's readability in most cases. An artist made this Tapestry story breaking it down: https://readtapestry.com/s/C9M36zhFA/
it's pretty trivial to include your SCAD file (for openSCADders like me) alongside your STLs. That's what I did on my github project (linked to indirectly via my info, and elswhere in this section).

HNsummaries
It doesn't matter at this point. They've milked it. Gold per dollar has dropped so far it's hard to sell anything except the very best. By the time march rolls around they'll have squeezed everything they could from it. At launch people where busying 'average' items for ~$100+. Now, unless it's best in slot it won't sell
Took me a while to figure out it was more than a gif.... on hacker news. Eventually I clicked and figured out it was a slideshow. Is it possible to go back a slide?
Off topic, but this is the first time on HN where I have seen unanimously positive comments. This must be good.
How a law to fight the Mafia could stop patent trolls
Don't get hung up on the example of the ship, obviously a ship owned by somebody else is not a good place to establish a "hippie commune" (is anywhere?).

It could however, hypothetically, be the case that the sailors felt that their lives were being endangered by the captain (who perhaps seemed intent on sailing off the edge of the world, as historically inaccurate that fear may be) and felt that he needed to be removed from command for their safety. This could be done non-violently (perhaps by simply threatening 'civil disobedience') and the captain could decide to not fight the will of the sailors and just live out the rest of the voyage in his quarters, but it is doubtful that any captain would choose that option. When this ship-turned-hippy-commune was eventually caught (the rightful owner would be furious after all), the captain certainly wouldn't want it to look like he tolerated the arrangement. The mutinous hippies, ever understanding of the captain's plight, could therefore offer the option of non-violent banishment by lifeboat.

Anyway, this non-violent banishment by lifeboat would not be done out of a desire to punish the captain. I think that banishment can either be done out of a desire to punish, or a desire to remove a threat. It doesn't necessarily need to be both, though usually it probably is. Anyway, I think we are agreeing there.
A question on a side digression: "falls within our thesis" - I often hear/read the term "thesis" being used by investors, and I am curious what exactly is meant by it. Is a thesis a tome of 100+ pages? Is a thesis two sentences, something like "we think that local/mobile/social will be hot this year"?

This is so spot on. Someone asked me when we would run out of oil, my answer, "Never". "Never?!" they spat out, but look at how quickly we use it, look at how finite a resource it is, Etc. And I replied, as it gets rare, the price will go up, as the price goes up other things will be substituted, as they are substituted the demand will go down. Demand goes down and the time to exhaustion stretches out. Long tail curve, we never hit zero. It just gets so expensive that nobody uses it any more.

Systems do react, and that reaction is why you can never predict system behavior with extrapolation.

Neil Stephenson posits a more rational economic system for WoW (and presumably Diablo 3) in the novel Reamde. What is perhaps most interesting is how he deconstructs the flow of 'value' in the economy, trickling in from gold creation and trickling out with taxes and purchases. To bad Blizzard didn't read that first.

That said the notion of a 'no levels' RPG where everything is trained/earned is more like Everquest (nobody wants to go back to skinning 6,000 rabbits, trust me) but it is the place where the next big breakthrough will be made. And it will make the people who discover the recipe very wealthy indeed.
One thing to keep in mind is that things 'feel' different on the phone than they do in screen shots. I was pretty 'meh' about iOS7 until I installed the GM on my phone. It still has some weird spots, but over all it looks a hell of a lot better 'live' than it does in pictures. The transitions effects are nice, the removal of skeuomorphism is awesome and the operation is nice. It is not 'revolutionary' but it is a nice evolution from iOS6
Content Creators Use Piracy to Gauge Consumer Interest
I wrote a different reply but deleted it. I'm curious about something: if, as you claim, supercomputers are wasted money, why are there so many of them? Have all the world's top supercomputing sites somehow colluded to convince all the world's largest governments that they're useful?
Apple certainly was influenced by Windows Phone. Regardless of the source of that inspiration -- it's definitely an improvement.
All tech companies should do this once they reach a certain maturity. Eventually every company should return capital to the markets, otherwise the markets would just be one big ponzi scheme...
Steve Jobs is turning in his grave. All of these look so random and interchangeable to me that it could probably even have effects on the common 'iOS first' mentality. What was so special about the iPhone again?
Humans are not quite as psychologically flimsy as we like to paint them. I personally believe the foundation of your logic- that anyone who is not mentally ill will suffer lifelong depression and unhappiness after killing someone- is unrealistic.

Just think of examples of self defense, or crimes of passion (e.g. the killing of your lover's mistress). Why do we never hear of how all of these people fall into bottomless pits of depression?

Particularly in your description of it "destroying" someone, I wonder if you are thinking of "Crime and Punishment". Remember that was not a crime of passion, but a planned killing expressly chosen to be in cold blood. Killing in cold blood is a different story, but we are not talking about that.
I've thought about this before and attributed it simply to bikeshedding. When something interesting pops up people really want to be part of the conversation but don't have the background to talk about the main topic so they comment about the meta information.
I like the swagger layout. http://swagger.wordnik.com/#!/pet

Their developer documentation is kind of tricky to figure out though.
That was a great, and very accurate, description of Vollkorn. The more I use it, the more I fall in love with it. So happy to see it go around. Thanks!
USA is comparable in size to EU, and USA states are comparable in size to EU countries, including Sweden.

People living in some USA state have the right to decide to govern themselves more like Sweden - if they wish and vote so. It's important to attempt comparisons with a variety of places, since they might show which policy directions you might want to choose and which to avoid.
In Australia here, and I knew exactly what he meant.

I guess it just depends on whether you've done much tree-work. (I'm ex-SES in an area with lots of National Parks/State Recreation Areas)
Surgeons cut on you in cold blood. I could not be a surgeon. Having a particular trait is not inherently evil nor inherently maladjusted. Geez.
Yes, agreed, having used it for 3 months on now, it replaces the visual affordances of shadows, shading, and textures with physics and animation. My key learning so far from building something iOS7-native is that the closer you can make it to feeling like a real object, the better.
The mock server generated out of a minimal markdown-like syntax seems pretty cool.

As far as the docs themselves I think I prefer the design of something like Swagger (https://developers.helloreverb.com/swagger/).
Well, opening the door to view the awesome forest fire in the distance is probably inconvenient. Plus you know...the billboard lobby ;-)
I think the Debian install is almost as easy as that - download a .deb package and install it, and it pulls in and installs and compiles everything else.
I do believe we'll be providing on-premise instances as Github does in the future.

However, as github hasn't provided this from year one, so are we. Choosing priorities is hard in startup and on-premise takes a lot of resources.

...which is what seed is for ;)

Meanwhile, you can still use our format separately from Apiary SaaS. Please take a look: http://apiblueprint.org/
Not sure how we've ended up in that category. Apiary doesn't generate or manage license keys. And frankly, it doesn't do API management at all. We're helping people design & build APIs.
Hi, I'm not sure if I'm alone in this, but I personally hate to document my code outside my code. Is there any way to make apiary scan my existing codebase for, say. API documentation and generate docs based on that?
First, it's not clear to me that a persons own feelings of guilt are a sufficient punishment for their acts. A person might feel that they were at least partially justified (even if they were not), or might find other rationalizations to mitigate their feelings of guilt.

On the subject of psychopaths, I don't think this category exists in the sense that you mean it. In particular, the personality traits usually thought of as characterizing psychopathy, do not predict criminal behavior strongly (or at all) [1]. So I think you need to reconsider your factual claim that there is a category of people, defined by certain mental traits, who are "medical cases" and cannot be deterred from committing crimes.

As you say, people have very different views of human nature. I consider the idea that a mentally healthy person would never want to harm someone else, or else would suffer from extreme guilt if they did, to be wrong. Also, most arguments for this viewpoint, including your own, seem to suffer from the No True Scotsman fallacy.

yeah, but in those cases you have cited, the interested party get the source and implements it on its own codebase himself

eg. microsoft using bsd network layer on windows and freebsd porting linux drm to its own kernel..

this is different.. its aggregated as a product that target several os´s with different implementations for each kernel, but shareing only one core codebase.. this tends to be much more stable and cheap to everybody.. less bug prone, etc..

didnt heard of anything like it..
Pretty cool. You have a typo on this page: http://github.hubspot.com/vex/ where it stays destory instead of destroy.
Despite this being true, "it could've been much worse" and "$50k default penalty" are things that don't mesh with most people's (very reasonable) expectations of rational business.
I agree with most of what you've said. My interest in Apple was piqued when I saw Steve Jobs' presentation of the 2006 Intel Macbook Pro.

I think that the iPod taught Apple how to perfect their iterative process and release their innovations in discrete amounts which maximize profits and gives them time to work on their next big product category.

I too believe that Steve Jobs played a great role in making Apple exciting in the first place and bringing that excitement back after it faded away. However, don't you think that we should wait a few more years before determining whether or not Steve set up any precautions or learned from Apple's mistakes the first time around?

Apple's second wind is also correlated with the amount of influence that Jonathan Ive has had at Apple, which as we know is higher than ever right now.
I installed the app, and part of the welcome tutorial was that they seemed excited about how you couldn't go backwards "so take your time". They advocate using it for "storytelling": it seems like an irritating medium for a semi-scientific slide deck.
After I moved from academia/gov't labs to private industry, I was absolutely flabbergasted at the waste. Many companies literally just buy whatever their vendors throw at them to solve a problem, and if a reasonably intelligent techie spent just an hour or two thinking through the problem, they'd realize that the solution was either far less complicated than the proposed kit or far more; either way, what's proposed is almost never right.

Another thing I haven't seen much of is acceptance testing. This is actually more surprising to me than the reliance on vendors for problem solving. It's an absolute no-brainer to say "I have problem X, which will be solved by solution Y, and the success will be measured by the set of tests Z. Unless the above happens, we will not pay the bill and you will take the hardware back." The vendors looked at me like I was from Mars when I started suggesting these.

I have not since complained about government waste in research computing budgets.
Some basic exercise routines would probably have the same beneficial effects and a bunch of added ones as well. You can't replace video games with exercise altogether (2 hours is a pretty long workout), but making it part of your "unwind" routine would benefit you greatly.

Count on this. People are excellent at rationalizing their own actions.

The main problem with such a list is that the experience with an investor is very subjective and you need to get a lot more information about the said situation in order to assess what really happened there.

I imagine people will likely contribute to such a list only if they are anonymous (The bay area is very small and you don't want to upset investors).

It kind of reminds me of thefunded.com where I find little value in the reviews since I have no idea who's behind it and what was the situation that led the entrepreneurs to leave that review.

Where can it be very valuable? When you have a small network of peers who trust each other (an accelerator for example) and are willing to share more details on the interaction with the investor (and could possibly take a call if needed).

I also believe that YC has a secret list of all of the investors with some comments from the staff (I also know that startups are asked to give some feedback on interaction with investors - that list is probably a curation of the feedback given).

When dealing with an investor I always ask them to provide me with 2 references: 1 entrepreneur they backed who is doing well and 1 entrepreneur who is not doing so well (that helps me understand if the investor is helpful when things are not going so well and believe me there will be some point when things will be a train wreck).

Additionally I always end up pinging my network and doing some backchannel references on the investors knowing that the references they are providing me are probably curated.

Not necessarily a good comparison, since the shares can be traded. You can step in very late and still have all the chances to get very rich, which is hardly possible with a Ponzi scheme.
It's a great pity more ZFS advocates are taking this as an opportunity to get better acquainted with FreeBSD.

I've been running FreeBSD on my home server for about a decade now -even before ZFS- and have loved it. But I used to run Linux VMs on top of it. However it's only recently that I've decided to go fully FreeBSD on it, using jails instead of hardware virtualisation. I honestly can't understand why I waited so long to do so. It's proven to be a far more elegant solution for what I needed.

While I do still run Linux on my desktop and work with Solaris and linux as my day job; FreeBSD seems a vastly overlooked alternative these days, which I think that's a great pity. its stable, proven and dead to administrate. But each to their own I guess.
Jail is also typically used for suspects awaiting trial.
Back events as a whole are problematic. Android's OS back button behavior is application defined up until you're at the base "level" of the app, at which point the behavior is OS defined and it takes you to the home screen. That kind of state management isn't intuitive, and even though you should be able to just hit the app icon to go back(assuming a properly coded app), it's still an inconvenience if you fat finger the button one too many times. Discovery of what the button does for each app is also an annoying process as well.

The change to a swipe might reduce the accidental fat finger, but discovery is a nightmare for both the gesture itself and application specific behaviors for the back event.

I prefer an application button in both cases, especially because it makes it clear that this is something that will only effect the app, and will not have a weird OS interaction, taking me out of the app.

It's a nice quote, but I'd change "smartest" to something like "wisest". Many smart people are quite stuck in their beliefs.
I think it's simply a case of a lot of the current flat design examples out there being targeted at Android. Prior to iOS 7 most iOS apps went for the heavily bevelled and textured look. As a result most of the good examples of flat design were on Android and it's likely these designs served as primary inspiration for a lot of iOS designers.
