I have a new MBA and it's superb, I'm really satisfied.

That said I'd suggest waiting for Lenovo's new Thinkpads to become available before making a decision. If the new Thinkpad Yoga's digitizer works with Linux it would be a pretty impressive competitor to the MBA, surpassing it in every are except perhaps battery (just depends on how it reviews.) I'm not sure if the TP Yoga has a soft-touch finish though, that's one area where I would go for a Thinkpad over a Macbook, cold aluminium is attractive but not so flesh-friendly.
Well, not quite true, mine gets warm playing Fez.
Not to come off as uncaring, but I think you screwed yourself over if you installed the iOS 7 beta and didn't read the release notes.

iOS betas have always expired, going back years, and this has always been documented in the release notes. It's also made clear in the release notes that you can't upgrade via iTunes to the public release from a beta - you have to manually download the IPSW and update it yourself.
Isn't this extortion?
for a long time, the Bill Gates wiki page had a picture of his mugshot as the primary photo (now it's relegated to the middle of the page)
You can also just download the IPSW directly from developer.apple.com, if you have a paid-up developer account. And if you don't you probably shouldn't be using iOS betas on your device.
I never seen any non-Apple laptop which can actually live over 1~2 hours with only battery from first. They advertises something a lot, but nothing's trustworthy.

MacBook battery also ages and decreases, but at least it's usable for a few years unlike others which is unusable from first.
This is really great. Recent grad from Boston here :)
I'd recommend that you talk to a few people with ADHD and see if they consider their disorder to be "the slightest deviation from the norm". It's clear from this article that doctors certainly don't see it that way.
That definition of extortion is wrong. Extortion is when you threaten to commit a crime unless paid. Blackmail is when you threaten to publish information unless paid.

Pro tip: offering to sell the only copies of a photograph is not a threat to publish.
Question though: Do I still have to add the tester phones to my dev profile in Apple's member site when using HockeyApp ?
It's not scaremongering if it's true. Beyond what's been leaked, there's little to no public information the TPP. It's apparently a big secret only large multinats and selected members of government are in on.

"The stakeholder engagement events in the morning were followed by a stakeholder briefing in the afternoon. The briefing allowed registered individuals from civil society and the public to ask questions of and make comments to eight out of the nine negotiators who represent a TPP country. The press was barred from the room. Roughly 25 people rose from the audience to ask questions to the trade delegates during the 90-minute briefing period. As predicted, they were not transparent about the talks, revealed little new information, and delegates also refused to make any comments based on leaked version of texts—the only text EFF and other public interest organizations have had access to. It is difficult for public stakeholders to ask accurate questions or receive any substantive answers when the content of the agreement continues to be shrouded in secrecy."

Don't take away a kids right to his personality just because you think you are broken.
I'd rather people just flag false articles like this so it gets removed.
Well, here's the problem I have with this:

1. We already have a court-system that's _suppose_ to be giving out fair punishment for crimes. Adding another "fine"(pay to get mugshots removed) to it I don't think is needed.

2. What happens if I start re-publishing mugshots? And then another person? And then another? How many fees is this person suppose to pay to stop it?

3. More likely than not, the person who's mugshot is online is probably not rich. Probably needs all the money they can get. Having to spend it on getting mugshot-copies removed from online I think is terrible, like kicking someone when they're down.

4. And finally, this is my biggest issue with this by far. It is assumed the person who got arrested actually deserved it. I, personally, have nearly zero faith in the American law enforcement and criminal system. I think it's almost completely corrupt and extremely bias towards certain groups. So the fact that people who've already been unfairly victimized by a broken system, once again having to pay X number of person(s) to get it removed from the internet is just plain unethical.
Obviously people proposing this aren't thinking it through or have no training in basic economics. Intuitively you can think of money as amount of labor that you owe from other human beings [1]. So let's say in some country you need minimum of $1000 /mo to satisfy your basic needs. What this means is that someone needs to grow your food, weave your cloths, run electricity plants etc and that amount of labor costs $1000 at the moment. Now imagine a government suddenly guarantees $2000 of income to everyone. What happens next? A lot of these people who were supposed to grow food for you, weave your cloths and run electricity plants for you will drop out of labor market. This means human labor gets in less supply and its demand suddenly increases. That means cost of labor suddenly increases. That means very soon $2000 is no longer enough to buy enough labor to satisfy your basic needs. In essence, $3000 would now be new minimum that is required for your basic needs. You are back to the square one with only effect being government essentially inflated the currency.

[1] In this simplification we assume that most raw material required to satisfy basic needs is available in sufficient quantity so the cost of goods is strongly a function of human labor rather than raw material.
> Companies are not allowed to label the absence of irrelevant things for good reason

Well, they are allowed to here in Australia. For example, we have milk marketed as "permeate-free" despite permeate being a natural milk product.
I think this should be the normal way that devs build apps. There just needs to be a good and easy way to author components.
Of course. Never mind all the evidence. What you believe is more important than any research could ever be.
See it in IMAX (proper IMAX, not those 'fake' IMAX you sometimes get in multiplexes) and I think you'll have a fantastic time. I saw it today, and as a piece of film making it's really impressive.

I think if you saw it on a smaller screen you would come away less enthused. I thought there were definitely plotting and script problems, but that the visual impact of the film compensated for that. Sandra Bullock is definitely not the best choice, but she's not terrible (I don't think she was Alfonso Cuaron's first choice either).

Who gives a crap about inflation? Inflation is a given in any foreseeable future. It doesn't matter. An equilibrium will be reached or all hell will break loose.
Funny story. I went to a conference earlier this year where I met a very attractive sales rep for a company we were considering working with. She emailed some information a few weeks later and I was going to see about connecting via LinkedIn, so I Google'ed her name. First picture that came up was her mug shot from a DUI. From a professional standpoint I'm sure it haunts her.
And I'd recommend you visit the overflowing offices of a few shrinks scamming patients by charging $100-$150 for five minute appointments to provide the monthly refill for adderall.
thanks to uninformed attitudes like yours, I was unable to get any treatment for my ADHD for years while living in Europe. Instead I was told that I was stressed because I was depressed, and depressed because I was stressed, and made to feel like it was my fault for not being easily treatable.

Maybe we can stop growing a monoculture of humans where the slightest deviation from the norm must be treated with some kind of drug.

Yes, yes, and vaccines are a pharmaceutical industry plot, and all the rest. I am really tired of this amateur-hour analysis from people who can't even be bothered to muster up a citation for their hand-waving argument.
I was going to add a line at the end of my post saying that this was all, of course, my fault, but figured it went without saying. Lesson learned.
you could look at becoming a real estate agent, insurance mortgages. or something like that. schooling not too bad and the commission are pretty good.
How am I in a bubble? You've got to be kidding me. I mean what you're suggesting is ludicrous idealism. You think everyone views work the same as you. I suppose you think everyone also shares the common HN view of a total lackl of interest in money for anything other than the most basic needs.

If you believe this utter nonsense then you have not seen much of the world.

I do not mindlessly ascribe my value system to the rest world, you have to take the world for what it is and not what your quixotic idealism would have you believe.

> there are no other places in the world where you can work in sandals while eating M&Ms.

Heh, sure there are! I run a startup here in Austin, and there are plenty of tech jobs, sandals, and free M&Ms here. After living 10 years in the Bay Area, I am also enjoying owning my own house with a yard for far less than I would pay in the Bay Area. And, if you like to cook, Central Market beats the pants off any grocery store in/near SF.
This argument assumes that the efficiency cannot be increased, and stays at X amount of "work" per human.

Imagine if the basic income enabled large amount of people to try out different inventions, or perform research, such that it now takes only 1/2 X to produce food, where as before it was X. One way this could happen is that because labour costs increased, more automation is encouraged/deployed, and thus gain efficiency.

Of course, if the above _doesn't_ happen, then yes, your conclusion is pretty spot on.

Methamphetamine in fact IS prescribed by doctors to treat certain disorders. It's unfair to compare prescription methamphetamine to street meth since street meth is not only often very impure, but is typically taken in dosages 30x - 50x greater than a therapeutic dose.

This logic could also be used to argue that acetaminophen / ibuprofen should be Schedule I narcotics since taking a dose 30x - 50x larger than the therapeutic dose would almost certainly result in death.
Denying the existence of mental disorders is dangerous and harmful to those who indeed have these disorders.

And they are disorders. The science on this is very strong. You see "clusters" of similar conditions in millions of human beings, where each of these clusters/diseases have similar problems, and they share potential remedies.

The problems these disorders cause the individual are very real and unmistakeably negative. Sometimes this is muddied by people claiming schizophrenia, ADHD and bipolar disorder have "hidden benefits", especially creativity. Sometimes conspiracy nuts equate mental disorders with some kind of "dissident" behavior that has to be censors. It's not. These people suffer, and it's not only society that makes them suffer, but also their brain biology...
I'm little perplexed on why Samsung is doing this. What is business reasoning behind this? They say it is because to stop resellers from buying handsets from one country or region where devices are cheaper and then selling them to consumers in another country, but Apple has the same problem too.

It seems likely that the seized funds were taken from SR's escrow accounts. It matches up roughly with the amount of money said in the FBI complaint to be stored in escrow. I can only assume that they have no idea where his personal Bitcoin stash is, otherwise they would have hyped up seizing ~80mil.

Yeah, when I moved to the East Bay from San Mateo it was like I'd moved to Mars.
I believe the BART extension was to go to San Jose, which has plenty of riffraff of its own. If I'm not mistaken, it's still in the planning/funding.
This point is also very important to understand for all those people whose primary life goal is to retire before 30s or gain "financial independence" so you never have to work again. When you are working, you are making your portion of human labor available in exchange for other people's labor who are working to get food on your table or build roads for you or design safety for your car and so on. When you get out of contributing any labor to the market you are essentially sucking blood off of all the people are actually working to make your life style possible. So ethically, "retiring before 30" and "gaining financial independence" so you never have to worry about giving back to society while benefiting from everybody else's work is wrong. This I believe is also a reason why some people are uncomfortable disclosing these fantasies publicly.
I wonder if it would somehow be possible to use this with the protein folding game Foldit. http://fold.it/portal/

On housing, I'm happy to report that Craigslist isn't the only option. http://apartmentlist.com is somewhat more pleasant to use and less full of duplicates / other nonsense.

Disclosure: I work at Apartment List. Since someone already mentioned LiveLovely, I suppose I'll recognize them too :-D
Ha. It's intended to look like a FirefoxOS phone if anything =)
I love this comment. "Get it working". Roger wilco!
That word is used commonly in the US in political discussions. It is probably more correct than integrate.
There is probably a 'why' only that it may have been lost with the times.
"no other places in the world where you can work in sandals while eating M&Ms."

There might be more by percentage in the bay than other places but not the only place by far. Standard wear at my jobs have been flip flops, jeans, tshirts for everyone who wasn't meeting with clients regularly.
It isn't addictive for everyone; a good thing for me insofar as having my supply stolen by people who are addicted or want to resell it causes me only financial rather than chemical distress.

What are the math heavy CS areas with high demand?
I'm an undergraduate student who's thinking about a double major in computer science and applied math. I'd like to choose a math heavy, high demand computer science area to specialize in. I like the utility and elegance of math, and I'm trying to find a CS area that uses many different branches of math.

I'd also prefer if the area changes relatively slowly compared to other computer science areas (so maybe not security).

I'm currently thinking that graphics or machine learning would be high demand areas that use a lot of math, but I'm looking for more suggestions and advice. Thanks.
I wasn't talking about people making $200k, though. I was talking about people making $100k, because that's the number cherry picked by the person I was replying to.

And, yes, of course I'm aware that a Model S is the same price no matter where you buy it, to a first approximation. The point is that housing is so expensive in the Bay Area that you can actually end up having less disposable income left over for your car than someone making $20k less than you on paper in a much cheaper city and in a state with lower (or no) income taxes (Washington, Texas, maybe a few others?). If you don't believe me, you need to just sit down with a calculator that will do taxes and everything, look up comparable rents, and do the math. You sound like you might be surprised.
By the common understanding of alpha, pre alpha means its not really ready to demo.
I don't think that anecdotes, personal beliefs, or unqualified claims are the right way to approach something like this, especially if you don't have any personal or professional experience with the disorder.

Any disorder or disease that requires a potentially addictive medication will inevitably have crooked doctors - this is seen as well with patients requiring Morphine or Codeine. This crookedness is a separate issue from the illness, and is not relevant in a discussion about neurobiology.
In this case, the SF bay area fellow I know works five days a week for a landscape/gardening company and pays taxes on that income. ($25/hour cash is additional off-the-books income.) And, contrary to your research, California has a $10,000 incentive.

Though you're right about the down payment, so let's assume it will be a used Tesla and therefore cheaper. And you're right about the relative comparison point. But these were rough numbers, remember, and not intended to be a detailed argument as much as a refutation of the impossible "to afford" claim above.
That's a symptom of bad healthcare systems.

In the UK, I didn't have to pay anything for refills of concerta. In NZ, I only had to pay the GP who gave me a referral to a free psychiatrist for methylphenidate and dexamphetamine sulphate.

In both places, it has been a relatively long journey to get medication. They were keen to try to resolve my issues without drugs - it was about half a year between when I started seeing a psychiatrist and when they suggested medication.
As an adult with ADHD, I can agree. It's definitely real, and it's definitely not just something that can be easily ignored without proper education about it (And without proper medication if necessary).

Personally, I was lucky, as I was diagnosed as a younger age (Around 5th grade or 6th grade). Recently I took a college course on handling ADHD in college, and my professor also had ADHD, having had it for many years, struggling with it, and not ever learning about it until she was around 50 years-old.

I agree with those who say it may be over-diagnosed, but at the same time, it's frustrating to see people who have no understanding of the disease at all tell me that it's all in my head and I should just get over it and act like everyone else. Being a bit older, I've learned to simply shake it off and move on, but it tough being a kid struggling to do stuff that others seem to be able to accomplish no problem, and then be told that you're simply not trying hard enough and never get any access to education on ADHD and/or medication. It's no different then going up to someone with depression and telling them it's all in their head and to just stop it. It simply doesn't work that way, and pretending it does only makes those with the disease feel worse about themselves without helping them.
You are comparing a later development of mathematics to an ancient one and then calling the ancient one stupid.It is basically like studying string theory now and then calling Galileo's speculations idiotic because he used his pulse to measure time instead of a quantum-logic clock.
So much this. And since it happened with no warning on a weekend evening I was not at home and wasn't able to even look it up since my phone all of the sudden self destructed AS I WAS USING IT. It just rebooted and all of the sudden was non-functional.

As the responsible DD for tonight this put me in a tough spot where the drunkies I was responsible for were unable to contact their driver.

This was a ridiculous way to handle this. I had even tried to manually update to the public release manually via iTunes last week and since it said "Up to Date" I thought it had worked.. but apparently not.
You certainly can buy a BMW or a Porsche if you make $50,000 a year, especially if you're single and living in a cheap part of the country. A used BMW 3-series will in many cases be less than a new Honda Odyssey minivan. But you'll be shopping on the used marketplace.
Go anywhere outside of the US and Europe and they would laugh at you. Our culture (hispanic) takes it as a sign of weakness and petty complaints. Most people are too worried trying to feed themselves or their families to even think about being depressed. Furthermore, with the little money they have they tend to go to doctors for diseases that directly affect their bodies or ability to earn.
I understand that a lot of programmers start with Java, Python, or Javascript these days, but saying that C is for neckbeards? Are you for real?
I found out about a month ago that one of these sites had an arrest record for someone with my same first and last name. As luck would have it he also is the same race and approximate age as I am. We don't really look alike but there are plenty of people who might google me based on a resume or something without knowing what I look like and confuse me with him.

The site was high on the first page of results for my name and it was extremely frustrating. I'm about to graduate and look for a job and it was embarrassing to think that that's what potential employers would first see. And yet there was nothing I could do about it -- heck, the person wasn't even me.

I'm all for freedom of information and those sites have a perfect right to exist. However, I'm glad that Google also has recognized that their business model doesn't serve the majority of its customers and pushed down the results. After reading the article I checked the results for my name and verified that the offending site disappeared from the first two pages. It may seem like a small thing but I honestly feel more comfortable talking to recruiters now than previously.
The "slightest deviation" hypothesis has been conclusively disproven. ADHD positive by American standards correlates with -10 IQ points, double the rate of serious injuries, much lower age of first pregnancy and much higher rates of promiscuity, dramatically lower rates of high school (secondary school) graduation, almost total inability to complete a university degree, amd very high rates of criminal conviction (at least half of prisoners are ADHD positive).

The American ADHD criteria are hard science, derived by looking at a syndrome of social failure and back-calculating diagnostic criteria.

The European approach, in contrast, is based on Freudian dogma. I.e., weapons grade malarkey.
As far as I know, people generally use more sophisticated algorithms that run on commodity hardware. I remember hearing about this many years ago, but never actually saw it in the wild.
Yes, yes, and vaccines are a pharmaceutical industry plot, and all the rest.

I have neither said nor implied this anywhere.
Yes, this. No hint that anything would happen or when. No apparent means of updating, or to what. No ability to back up when it hit. I was at a confluence of development needs & tools & deadlines which delayed a sensible update sequence.
These particular algorithms are commonly used with proteins' amino acid sequences for general database searches. But since the database of protein sequences is far far smaller than typical DNA search problems, there are more sophisticated and computationally expensive algorithms such as Pair HMMs [1] or Profile HMMs [2] can be used, and for fine tuning of 3D model threading they would be a much better option, since the problem is so small.
