fyi most of the major marketing automation platforms already let you do this. They're based upon a peer-to-peer exchange of lead information (i.e you identify yourself to one site and they'll sell that information to other sites in exchange for identifying information about other users), hence it's already far more accurate than public registrar information.

That was Eddy Cue. He seemed to be uncomfortable in this situation because he was looking down at the teleprompter the whole time (hence the correction you noticed, and the flat jokes). Even though he's prominent in the company, I don't think he's been on stage much.

The other jokester was Roger Rosner (on the left in the "revise the record cover" demo, at 50 minutes into the keynote), who co-founded a startup called Lighthouse Design (http://www.langreiter.com/space/Lighthouse+Design), which, in dinosaur times, developed the presentation program Concurrence for NextStep. That's Roger at the top of the stairs in the photo above.

Concurrence eventually was rewritten at Jobs's request, and became Keynote. Roger also hasn't been on stage much, but he's a good guy, and a real developer, so cut him some slack. (Incidentally, the guy at the very bottom of the stairs is Jonathan Schwartz, who eventually became CEO of Sun, but was not really a developer.)
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping too. But then it's a bit weird to keep it a surprise. If true, they would announce both at the same time. So my best guess is that they are behind for their display revamp, or it's a product in its own right (TV) and will be announced later. Maybe they missed the holiday season.
I remember balking at apps that had separate iPhone and iPad versions... and then I tried to make a universal app. There is a LOT of work involved.

I was a bit bummed it was a paid upgrade, but I think we have to blame Twitter for that. Only acquiring new users is no longer a viable business model, twitter clients need to find ways to get money from their existing users in order to continue development.

Anyway, $3 for something I KNOW will be good (having used Tweetbot 1&2 extensively) is a no-brainer.
Are you saying Twitterrific doesn't have notifications? They've had notifications for a while now. At least 6 months, I believe. Check your settings.
In other news, e-mail is an insecure protocol and most people transmit in the clear and don't have their own e-mail infrastructure anyway.

Just curious to see what other HN people think about this.
it seems to me that the relaxed gpg key verification that the author uses doesn't give us any more assurances regarding the authenticity of the source than a simple hash offered on the website would. i think in this situation, if the author did not intend to attempt more rigorous verification of the truecrypt pgp key, at least cross-checking that the key offered on the site matches the key offered on a public key server pgp.mit.edu for example would be prudent before signing the truecrypt key with your own.

Import the .asc file in the keyring (File > Import certificates).
Now you should mark the key as trusted: right click on the TrueCrypt Foundation public key
in the list under Imported Certificate tab > Change Owner Trust, and set it as I believe checks are casual.
You should also generate your own key pair to sign this key in order to show you really trust
it and get a nice confirmation when verifying the binary.
It's definitely a challenge to work with founders who are what seems to be trying to figure things out as they go, which results into creative chaos at best or disorganized, aimless destruction at worst. Before concluding that this gig isn't for you, at the very least, make sure you maintain your own standards of quality and responsibility to do the best you can do. Try to be flexible and work with them. Sell them on your ideas as best as you can when you disagree with their always changing ones. But if they disagree, I strongly advise to be flexible and don't let the chaos shake you from your own high standards of professionalism to do the best you can. I'm old school, but I feel you still owe that much to them since this is a contract you agreed to take on. Who knows? If you show you're working hard, your client will begin to trust you more and more when you have a different opinion than theirs. Either way, if things don't improve, you can walk at the end of the contract, but with the integrity that you did your best.
> Me and Watson are very similar, Watson can win Jeopardy but has no understanding why, I can recognize a handwritten 'a' and I too have no understanding why.

So, you and Watson are "very similar" just because both systems don't have a perfect understanding of themselves? You don't know that. Your premises look true, but your conclusion don't follow from them (or at all). Actually you probably know that no matter how you spin it, you and Watson are very different.

So don't say you aren't, it's misleading. Not only to others, but to yourself as well. Try to find a meaningful similarity instead.

Well, I probably would, but not at its original price!
This is really just a case of well-branded spearphishing. You should already be protecting against that.

Well really, it's somewhere between generic phishing and tightly targeted (spear) phishing.

But the thing you have to remember about "phishing", about "spear phishing", about "social engineering" and about the cons that con-artists have been pulling since before computers existed is you are never just protected from this since every social con is based on exploiting a reflexive, habitual response and the con-artist will always find those no matter how people are simply trained (indeed, the more robot-like you make people's reactions, the more reflexes the con-artist has to work with).

So basically, any serious organization has to keep on top of the new threats coming. Every organization has to warn it's people not to do what they already ought to know better than to do.

Eternal vigilance... Reminds me of something else.
If that's directed at me, you're preaching to the choir.
No, it's not.

"reverse microwave" is correct in a sense, because as gojomo pointed out, the author meant it as a way to convey the concept of "rapid-heating appliance".

"You can't do x because of thermodynamics" actually was incorrect, and didn't take into account multiple specific instances which show that closed systems can create such results.
Disclaimer: I'm a Googler

I think this is a pretty disingenuous analysis of what's going on. It's obvious from the comparison to the [Virgin America] search that this is a bigger change that just adding a "banner ad".

Notice that for [Virgin America] there are _two_ spots that bring you to virginamerical.com, the ad and the first organic result. This is redundant, wastes space, and probably is confusing to some users. I don't know why a company buys ads for navigational queries where it's already the top result, but they do, and I'd argue it's bad for users.

On the [Southwest Airlines] query you can see that there's no redundant ad anymore - the navigational ad and the first organic result are combined. Calling that whole box and ad, when it contains the same content that the former top organic result used to, is misleading, but makes for a much more sensational headline when you want to claim that most of the screen is ads.

I'm not sure about the experiment, that's not my area, but my guess that this is part of an attempt to not have this ad+organic confusion for navigational queries by allowing the owner of the first result of a nav query to merge the ad with the result into a professional and official looking box. Maybe that'll work, maybe not, which is most likely why it's an experiment.
To be fair, we've been getting our butts kicked in primary education for many decades, and it hasn't killed us yet. Betimes everyone was scared that Japan would take us over because their kids were so much "smarter" than ours, and look what happened to that. Which is not to say I wouldn't love for us to do better on these tests, but it's also hard for me to summon terror over them either.

Under the assumption that you're interested in knowing the cause of the problem, gaining insight into the factors that lead to or indicate the problem can aid in understanding.

To speak in specifics rather than generalities: in this case, we see that White and Asian children do not seem to be having problems compared to their peers in other countries. Thus, we can assign a lower probability estimate to the hypothesis that the problem is the American educational system writ large. It seems to be a problem localized in certain parts of the system and population.
They're exact in the sense that they give the same value as if you had calculated the value of the analytic derivative. This is different from numerical differentiation, which approximates the derivative with finite differences.

I ran my 2008 Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook until I got my current "Ultrabook" a couple of months ago.

The netbook handled just about everything I threw at it, and with FreeBSD and dwm it ran faster than it did when I first bought it.

Unfortunately I'm not too pleased with the HP Envy 15. The AMD A6 Vision graphics aren't so bad, but support for the Broadcom 4313 wifi card is sparse in the nix world...

Soon I'll be tearing it apart to swap out the bcm 4313 for something supported by FreeBSD, but for now, I'll not be purchasing a new PC any time soon.
That would be the one.

Hah! You're absolutely right, somehow I had notifications switched off. Had I know that an hour ago... I probably still would have gone back to Tweetbot. I like the way it works better. But that definitely makes the comparison between the two apps closer.

...with no counterargument, specific instance, or even evidence of their own credentials. I can tell you how silly you sound because I'm a Harvard trained economist, and unless you were also trained at Harvard, you're clearly unqualified to read a MS press release.

I correct myself. You're definitely in the wrong discussion forum.
Almost every windows tablet sold is another user for SkyDrive. I am not sure about Windows 8 and 8.1, but significant portion of those sales will add users to SkyDrive as well. Let's not even talk about Office 365 which forces you to use SkyDrive. So while SkyDrive might not be #1 in terms of number of users, given aggressive bundling strategy, I would expect it to be close to the top in terms of growth.
The idea is to be consistent, not please the majority.

I can't say if people's understanding of how junk food is bad for them is greater than their understanding of internet security, but I wouldn't say that they're fundamentally different things.

My point is that "what people understand" is not universal, and is highly subjective. We can't assume that everybody understand why alcohol, smoking, junk food, lack of physical activity, medecine, etc. are potentially "bad" for them. Yet, we don't ban most of these things "in case some people don't understand"?

We teach people about health and nutrition, why shouldn't we do the same about IT (I mean, it's such a huge part of our lives now that we can't ignore it)?

Too many people jump on the "prohibition" train, when it's rarely the best solution. Rather than limit what companies can do (it's rarely objectively bad, they're offering users a feature in exchange for a subjective downside. I would focus on teaching people, not limit what can be done.

But maybe that's just me.

For all that studying you did, you still seem to be able to squeeze a lot of BS into your HN comments.

As an analogy, becoming a commercial pilot requires 1500 hours of flying time and hundreds of additional hours of studying outside of this for exams and checkrides. This is 5 times the amount of preparation you needed for your Level 1 CFA exam. Just about every time there is a crash of a commercial flight, you will hear remarkable insights from these guys that will usually help explain the situation. Here is a great example with a commercial pilot's take on the Asiana crash that killed 2 people at SFO: http://wgnradio.com/2013/07/08/analysis-of-asiana-airlines-f...

I can only hope that the countless hours you've devoted to finance would be able to provide you some insights into something as fundamental as a quarterly earnings report.
Active Directory and it's deep integration into all MS Products is a killer feature in my opinion. Federated Identity Management, and ADFS are tightly integrated into AD but at the same time open and make Access Management and integration with other Enterprises pretty seamless.

I think a lot of people outside the corporate world have a hard time understanding the virtues of Microsoft because they work on such a small scale or without Security, Compliance, and Regulation concerns that are requisite in Enterprise Environments.
I desperately want to delete LinkedIn, but I am also looking for my first developer jobs in the tech field. In my former field, no one would ever ask for your LI profile. You send a resume, link to a resume, whatever. In the tech field, every single company I've interviewed with so far has looked at my linkedin profile before our interview and specifically requested it. Until the field changes, or I have a stronger status as a developer, I feel I have to be there or get overlooked for someone who is there.

This is a good question. The source is the "Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) (2012)." On the report they have a list of "National entities" (UK is not there) and "sub-national entities", where they have Flanders (Belgium), England (UK), Northen Ireland (UK), and England/N. Ireland (UK). I guess they don't have data for Scotland and Wales.

Just a heads up, but I've worked for at least two companies so far that automatically throw away any applications written in code like that. It's pretty common that people submit resumes like this, and I've never seen anyone hired from it.

I hate to be negative, however I just want to make sure you don't disqualify yourself from jobs you're qualified for :)

If you decide to keep it, I'd make everything that isn't a string (aka, the actual details about you) a light gray that fades into the background. So, anyone scanning it only really sees the important parts.

[EDIT] More critiques:

- What languages do you write? Java? List the languages, don't just mock business people for no reason. That line is offensive to some people and means nothing to everyone else.
- At least three of your "Achievements" are negative about yourself (and make you look glib)
- Have you never had a job nor gone to college?
> Shhhh! Don't bring rationality into this HN anti-LinkedIn Circle-jerk!

That's a reddit-level comment.

People with technical, ethical or privacy concerns are just as relevant to the discussion. LinkedIn already has a shady history in terms of unauthorized data slurping, privacy and handling of users. No one has to swallow what they're offering now as altruistic if they don't want to.

Plenty of concerns indeed...

I'm just saying that its not really a "fantastic" upgrade. Apple can price their products however they want, but I would have been impressed if they reduced the price by $200 without removing $30 worth of RAM from the machine. It just seems kind of petty to do it, that's all. It gives the impression that they are nickel and diming their customers, just like it did when they spent a bunch of money developing the overpriced 5C, when all their customers really wanted or expected was an iPhone 5 at a cheaper price.

We are used to Apple charging a premium for their products. That's fine, because they have historically made some really nice stuff. What we aren't used to is watching them take obvious, public actions to reduce manufacturing costs.

If we ignore the RAM reduction for a moment, its not a bad upgrade, its just not "fantastic." The 5S was a fantastic upgrade (even if most people won't use the extra horsepower), the iPad Air is a fantastic upgrade, the original rMBP was a spectacular upgrade, but this is just ordinary.

3. The GPUs are amazing for integrated graphics, but that's Intel's accomplishment, and soon everyone will be using them.

4. I didn't say that Apple removed a GPU from anything.
For those people doubting the future of MSFT, here is my take:

MSFT is both a tech company and a utility.

It has growth potential (phones, surface, search, xbox) but it is also completely essential for global business (servers, AD, SQL Server, Exchange, Sharepoint).

In that sense it is a utility. If you took out all the MSFT software in the world everything basically stops. Your electricity probably doesn't work, you probably can't get on a train to get to work and if you manage to get to work you can't login to anything.

People say "but my company has BYOD!" that might be true, but MSFT is still the infrastructure it is running on. You can bring your AAPL car but you're still driving on an MSFT road.
Most people don't care to give back to open source, they just want to have something to fix their problem... I am disabling issues from my projects starting today.

Apple sold about 30 million Mac notebooks in the US in the last 4 years. Even if only half of those units were bought by unique individuals, that makes for 5 percent of the US population, a far cry from 0.1 percent.

(Background data: Apple has sold 100 million Macs in the last 4 years. 40% of those were sold in the US. Over 70% of the computers Apple sells are notebooks.)
I think you may be my doppelganger, but I started off on a TI-83+. ;)

There is some special about introducing yourself to programming on limited hardware like that. It's the sort of device that you can grow into, and which challenges you to get innovative when you start to reach its limitations. I don't believe that sort of environment is the only environment that somebody with a hacker mentality and approach can be created, but it does seem to be a good way to do it.
