Sure. It's the profile (except thickness) of a Samsung Mega. The actual viewable screen size is smaller than a mega but larger than the Note 2. You need to see it to understand how exactly big this phone is. It's by far one of the biggest phones I've seen (and used). I paid extra for expedited shipping, and the total was $213, and got it in 6 or 7 days.

It comes with 3 cases: a standard back, a snap-on hardcase for the back, and a back with a cloth-hard flap lid. I use that third one so it protects the screen. If you want 3rd party equipment for this, AliExpress does have _some_ n7889 stuff, but nothing like the OtterBoxes. The phone itself feels sturdy, and not like a bootleg. Also note, there's no samsung logos anywhere (unlike some of the fake iphones that have peel-off stickers of the apple logo).

The first thing I noticed is how buttery smooth everything is. I like that mushroom live wallpaper, and I've never seen a frame drop or lag at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a gamer, but Angry Birds is also perfect too. Everything just is so fast (faster than my few year old laptop). Do note, that the screen is a BIG battery eater. Then again, it's a big screen.

There is a GPS on the device, however weirdly there is no compass. So the Google skydome does weird behavior. But that's not a big deal to me. Also, the stylus is NOT a S-pen. It's just a capacitive touch end, and the stylus does NOT work on the touch 'Back' and 'Home' buttons. I'm not sure if they do or don't work like that on the Note's, either. However, the screen can take up to 5 inputs (that does surprise me). You can see that with mobileuncle tools and go into engineer mode.

The device DOES have an FM radio, unlike Samsungs. And you can record FM channels (coooool), but you need headphones hooked in. I also notice better antenna and cell strength than my previous iPhone 3GS. And about the Cell: there's 2 sim cards. The first slot supports 3G AT&T frequencies, and the second slot is a 2G. The idea is you can do calls on both, and fast data on the first slot. There's a sim manager in the settings that you can do cool stuff like bind a user to a certain SIM.

It also supports Miracast, or "Wireless Display". Went into a Best Buy and demoed that out. Evidently, the Samsung phones cannot handle miracast when you change orientation. This phone can. Ive never seen this before, and it was DAMN sweet :P Ended up playing Psy's Gentleman (it was a HD video I grabbed and threw on there to see the quality of the screen).

It's running Android 4.2.1 and uses MTK chipset. I don't think it'd be terribly hard to update the rom, as there are 2 3rd party rom mods for this phone. Phone model is Haipai Noble n7889

> 80% of SR users didn't use PGP

I find this to be dubious. How does PGP relate to SR usage? When people communicated with SR vendors, did they use email (where PGP might matter) or did they use the SR software? Did their forum software allow people to sign their posts? How was this information sourced? Was there just an informal poll on their forums?

Which seems like further evidence that the use of AGPL is somewhat disingenuous - more a poison-pill than a genuine attempt to embrace free software principles. If I use MongoDB, and modify it to suit my needs, I have to make my changes available to anyone who consumes a service I back with my modified MongoDB. MongoDB Inc., presumably by virtue of having licensing agreements in place with all the copyright holders whose code is in their core distribution of the product, have the ability not to do that. They could, however, examine my improvements and do a cleanroom reimplementation of them.

The real risk to them is that a vastly improved fork of MongoDB is built up by contributors who don't license over their contributions to MongoDB Inc., preventing their incorporation into commercial licensed versions...
Well let me be the first to say that I think that is an absolutely fucking crazy valuation and that MongoDB are either nuts or disingenuous for signing up for it.

I would be astounded - astounded - if MongoDB generate even a tenth of that, just in revenue, ever.

Although I understand your motivation, when I see "clone of X in language Y" I think that this is something being hyped only because of the choice of language and not because of the project's actual merits.

In the case of GitBucket the most important advantage is its easy installation, especially when compared to the more well known GitLab (that I never dared install after reading through the installation instructions).
They don't have to identify it and they don't have to know it's missing. My whole point is that the breakthroughs will happen in some other technology tree, and they will most likely occur in the context of some more mundane, profit-seeking commercial endeavors, in much the same way that advances in metallurgy and machine tool technology enabled the steam engine although the basic principle and some crude prototypes were already available since classical antiquity. What's been happening since the 1950s in robotics (I am not talking Toyota car factory robotics) is simply a misallocation of taxpayer's capital and hurts science and technological advancement since it fails to allocate research capital in the way most likely to lead to sustainable, economically exploitable breakthroughs. Of course all that pales in comparison to money wasted in social "sciences" etc.

What do you mean by "robotics", exactly?

I assume you're using some definition that excludes the millions of industrial robots being put to productive use every day. But I don't know what that definition would be.

I'm typing on a computer in large part assembled by robots. Earlier, I took a call on a phone in large part assembled by robots. This morning, I drove a car in large part assembled by robots. It's hard to see how the current state of robots could possibly be described as "hopeless".

I didn't say anything about any particular system. Using MD5 or SHA-512 doesn't have to be bad per se -- using them once is bad.

Also, you mention having to keep it physically secure. I don't think that's true; you can use anything you want to encrypt it, from passwords to smart cards to whatever.

You mention you have a long and cryptographically random password. I'm guessing (hoping?) that it consists of a bunch of words that are easier to remember, since humans are pretty bad at remembering things with sufficient entropy to count, particularly if they come in the form of unintelligible junk :)

Docker is well-known because DotCloud is pushing it, so there's money for marketing and hype.

A good take away from this as a software developer, at least for me, is go watch your customers in their environment not yours. See what they do every day and when and how they access your system.

I think the big challenge will be with the languages themselves. LESS, Stylus, CoffeeScript, and Jade are all implemented in JavaScript. Finding C implementations would be tough. Though SASS has a C implementation.
I worked at an agency around 2000-2005 that used RCS to keep files like httpd.conf under source control. Not a great solution, but there were no free "configuration management" tools then, and it was a pretty unrestricted place, with developers and sysadmins sharing access to production systems. It's not what I'd do today, but it was better than nothing and gave them some safety without costing much in process.
This doesn't seem to be on the right level of abstraction - why replacing the entire web server, adding dynamic translating (compilation) as a main feature?

The Chinese ones are hard to figure out. My own 'trick' was to find a reputable dealer (using an escrow, like AliExpress) and use Youtube to look at the phones. There's usually _someone_ who has uploaded a video of a phone you're interested in.

Also, be extremely careful in buying "clones" that don't care about trademark. Word on the websites I deal with are they are the ones that don't care about quality. The 'mostly clones', that don't mind attaching their own name to the product are usually pretty solid devices.

The guy who I've been buying from is http://www.aliexpress.com/store/108763 , ELE Team. I have a phone from them, as did a buddy here in the office (I work at Indiana University IT). He got the same model just shipped in a few days ago. We both absolutely love the phones. I've also been eyeing the ELE Team's $200 retina Android tablet. Pretty crazy cheap tech.

The other big trick is to check which frequencies the phone uses. If you use a TMobile or subsidary, you're getting 2G because of the whole lack of 1700MHz.. But that's because TMob chose a pretty much oft used GSM frequency.

It's not about getting a pat on the back, that kind of praise is meaningless and awkward. What is good to hear is that you're still providing value to the company and that what you're working on aligns with their goals. Knowing that can be the difference between getting promoted or getting laid off.

The problem with that statement is that it works: I seen plenty of startups with a lot of flare and filler but no product getting some generous seed rounds while the tech guys from another startup despite having an early version of the product get nothing.

Why? because their tech demo was boring to the non-tech investors, while the productless startup had a very clean well-prepared presentation that catches the eye of angels, even if they have nothing resembling an actual product.

Because doing that is easier for most people a lot of startups are born productless and focus almost solely on the presentation and pitch.
Without any further treatment, it seems that waste heat is at least enough to heat living and office space (which is probably what they're doing with it).

If you arrived at that 10% by just looking at the K, keep in mind that 0C is ambient temperature and already represents the lowest energy level of that system. I really believe it should be possible to take and use more of that 30° degree difference than a mere 3° off the top, even factoring in heat pumps for consolidating it and moving it around.

30° degrees of temperature difference is roughly the subcooling margin for nuclear reactors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressurized_water_reactor), and that's at even higher overall temperatures!
I suppose that's a rhetorical wondering. There's plenty of people who think the government can do no wrong, even here on HN.
Just tried with this great phrase from the late Roger Ebert (slightly modified to fit in one sentence; the original is four different sentences):

It correctly identifies the sentence as negative, while all words taken individually are either neutral or positive... I'm impressed.

I've been using melatonin on and off when I hit a patch of insomnia. It's pretty good; it just makes me super sleepy. Even with a low dose I end up groggy in the morning, however. But being able to actually fall asleep when I would otherwise lay awake for hours is worth the price of admission.

I don't use it regularly but sometimes I just know when I'm going to have trouble falling asleep, and will take one about a half hour before I'd like to be asleep. Works like a charm.
Wikipedia suggests prescription only in the UK. I think this is because it was banned as a food supplement in the 1990s, and only one medication got a licence, and that was a POM. Thus, any melatonin product is either an unlicensed medication (illegal) or prescription only.

The page you link to doesn't allow me to buy any product. Entering [melatonin] in their search box doesn't return any products containing melatonin.

(http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Howweregulate/Medicines/Licensingofme...)

"You can't buy melatonin over the counter in the UK" (http://www.webmd.boots.com/sleep-disorders/insomnia-in-adult...)

MHRA does regulate melatonin sales and prescriptions. Here are two examples:

UK website has prescription only melatonin, being advertised for off-label use (jet lag) and is told to stop (http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Howweregulate/Medicines/Advertisingof...) (Even though Cochrane found it's excellent for jetlag)

Also, unlicenced product (http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Howweregulate/Medicines/Advertisingof...)

The iPhone is bigger than their whole business. I don't see how this can be anything other than a huge failure for MS. The PC market is declining year over year and all the growth is in mobile, an area where MS is a bit player. And they were in the smartphone and tablet markets way before Apple! How is this not a disaster?

RIM made money for a while too, but in the end they were doomed. I don't think that is true of MS, because they are just too big and do too many things. But people arguing that everything is OK because of the top line, I don't get.

Another very common one is chipping away at any and all costs until it's ridiculous. This is usually because cutting costs is an easy way for management to make their numbers if revenue is flat. At first it really is cutting the fat, but eventually you run out of fat and start making life difficult for employees.

It's especially bad when the size of the cuts is meaningless compared to the cost of a given employee. Making a $100k+ employee work with a 3-year-old $1000 laptop for an extra year shouldn't make any sense in a proper company, but it's incredibly common.

That link shows some automated content brought in from healthnotes/aisle7 which is a Portland, Oregon based company. If you search Amazon UK for melatonin you'll find lots of supplement that are described as 'melatonin-like' but don't contain any active ingredients.

I buy it when I'm in the US which is fine for me as I take it for jet lag but I know GPs (family doctors) I talk to are often confused to learn they can prescribe melatonin and will often prescribe much more powerful and, in my opinion, dangerous hypnotics. I think that's probably because there's no patent on melatonin so not much marketing push to inform GPs of its uses - though I believe there's a patented slow release version of melatonin that might get a bit of marketing behind it.
