Apple is the only large digital content provider which wants to force us to buy their proprietary device ("Apple TV") to watch their proprietary content. It really does decrease the value for Apple's content. In fact I'm just not going to buy Apple's DRM-ed video anymore, as I have to plug in a HDMI cable to watch it on my TV.

People said that about iTunes, no?
It's now available for download from the link.

This also means that franchises can protect the franchise name even if they lost copyright on individual works. But it is much more limited than copyright and it might have a little but I would guess not that much impact on the stuff that GOG does, for example. Most game companies are not using 20 year old graphics to promote their new games.

Thanks!

Awesomebox only works with client-side code that runs in a browser - HTML/CSS/JS. If you have a Rails app that serves up a "single-page" app (like Angular, Backbone, Ember, etc.), we can work with you to make Awesomebox work. If this applies to what you're building, email me at brendan@awesomebox.co and we'll do our best to get you running with Awesomebox.

In an ideal world, we'd be able to support literally any application - Rails, Django, even iOS and Android apps. But in order to make your code available without spinning up complex environments and rebuilding parts of Heroku, we're focused on people building client-side javascript apps that send and receive data via APIs. This category of apps is growing incredibly fast, and we think there's a lot we can do to help, as both Matt and I have spent the past year working in Backbone and Angular.

Does that help explain a bit?

>> Tell that to the NIMH, which has ruled against use of the DSM for the best of reasons -- the claim is false.

> You can keep saying that, but its not going to make it true ...

Which part of this are you not getting? I'm not saying it, the NIMH is saying it. The NIMH has ruled that the DSM can no longer be used as the basis of scientific research proposals because it only lists symptoms, not causes.

> ... psychology and psychiatry do address causes ...

You need to locate some evidence for this claim. Psychiatry and psychology deal in symptoms, not root causes. Don't bother to tell me how wrong you think this is, just write directly to the director of the NIMH, whose recent ruling is based on this uncontroversial fact.

In the 1950s, schizophrenia was blamed on refrigerator moms (among other things). Now it's thought to have roots in genetics, but no one knows for certain. All that is certain is that its root cause is unknown. I choose schizophrenia for this example because, among the many disorders listed in the DSM, it's one of the better-understood. But its actual cause is unknown, as is true for all the other disorders listed there.

In his recent book "Book of Woe", psychoanalyst Gary Greenwood reports that melancholia was proposed for DSM-5 but was turned down because its cause really is known, and the committee members realized this would represent the single exception to the rule that none of the listed conditions include a cause, and this would undermine the editorial scheme. So they voted it out, leaving the new DSM in a pure state -- all symptoms, no causes.

I ask that you think a bit more deeply about this. Why did the DSM committees vote disorders into and out of the text? Why didn't they instead use scientific results that prove an association between causes and symptoms? The answer is that no such results exist.

> ... you keep repeating the same ignorant statements ...

Nice argument. Do you have any idea how this makes psychiatry and psychology look? Are you familiar with the term argumentum ad hominem?
I'd argue that the long term future of iTunes isn't fantastic. Individual music companies (Spotify, Rdio) are providing better experiences than Apple can.

There is a argument against such help, because the drivers will learn to rely solely on the warnings and stop properly monitoring the road. As soon as the system fails, accidents will start to happen.
The premise of American civil suits is "moving past" the event that gave rise to the suit. Once a suit has been resolved, it is "res judicata" and cannot be re-litigated. However, intrinsic to that process is "make whole relief." A suit cannot be resolved without the defendant putting the plaintiff back in the position he would have been prior to the wrongdoing.
Real teams are doing that all the time, you have to prioritize bugs, they rather fix important stuff and not care for people using IE6-8 and people using linx.

Intentional, but a pretty short-sited plan in my mind. Makes Amazon Video useless to me.
The article contradicts itself resulting in nothing more than a silly, uninformed rant.

If:

"Together they fashioned a general purpose programming language that was also suited to advanced mathematics and statistics and could run at speeds rivaling C, the granddaddy of the programming world."

Then:

"That said, it isn’t for everyone. Bezanson says it’s not exactly ideal for building desktop applications or operating systems, and though you can use it for web programming, it’s better suited to technical computing."

does not follow based on the definition of "general purpose."

"People are going to call the app by Facebook "Facebook Paper" because "Paper" is simply too generic."

I don't know where you're getting this idea from, every article I've seen has had a fine time just referring to the app as 'Paper'. All the marketing material is clearly just referring to this as 'Paper', I strongly strongly doubt Facebook want's anyone to refer to the app as 'Facebook Paper'. And I certainly don't think it's too generic, I saw the original 'Paper' app being referred to as 'Paper' just fine before Facebook came out with an identically named app.
So yet another database (for certain definitions of database) built for the tiny fraction of applications that will:

a) warrant this kind of complexity
b) be able to give up ad-hoc queries

So I guess if I ever need to build a highly scalable, fault tolerant, distributed todo list.. I'll look into it. Not sure how I will aggregate data to run the dashboards that my MBAs will be up my butt about though. Guess we can cover that detail later?
In the docs I read a few years ago, there was talk about integrating the system into handheld devices like cellphones and portable GPS gizmos. It would definitely be possible.
I used to love my Chromecast. It was one of those "it just works" pieces of technology. Unfortunately, after it auto-updated, it now has a bug where it will disconnect from WiFi after 30 minutes. Anyone know of a fix or has seen this behaviour before?

Prosecutors are required to present potentially exculpatory evidence, but they have never been required to present all the data they generate in their investigations. Defendants have never had access to the entire "evidentiary chain" using the definition you present here.

Meanwhile: prosecutors "accuse", and to do it, they need evidence. They can't use evidence from NSA or DEA "fusion"; the whole point of "parallel construction" is that they need a chain anchored by probable cause to do anything.
How Standards Proliferate
Perhaps because all these leaky abstractions help me accomplish a new project/idea in a matter of hours/days instead of weeks/months. And most of the time a "just works" is more than enough, high-performance and perfect understanding of every piece in the involved stack is a waste of time when you have dozens of other projects on your todo-list.

When you finally have a single product that is worth optimizing, then you can dive into the deep details. But mostly you have dozens of throw-away products before you get the lucky one.
I don't think that's correct. Multiple devices can queue videos using the YouTube app with the Chromecast.
And if the Identity Provider's gone for a prolonged period now you've lost your identity with (almost) no means of recovery. Mostly, because, while you might believed the contrary, you didn't ever own your "own" identity in this scheme.

That's exactly what SPOF is.
same here. _but_ if you weren't proficient in writing and reading asm the statement would no longer be true.

now, you could argue if that were that the case, wth is that person doing there anyway.

also if you compile something like `return 0;` it used to be compiled down to `xor eax,eax; ret;`, but meh barely anyone i know coding these days even knew this to begin with.
It is usually also much more finicky with regard to address syntax. Google Maps does a good job handling spelling mistakes or ambiguous addresses. OSM is not on par with GM, yet.
The irony here is that Facebook are extremely aggressive about protecting their own name. They have sued other companies for using generic words as part of their names, like 'face' or 'book' or 'wall'.

I got Chromecast in December and it has never "just worked" for me, ever. It always has a very hard time finding the Chromecast, so trying to start up a video on my tv takes several minutes. I'm ready to ditch the entire thing and get a Roku, because my experience with the Chromecast has always been really terrible.
How many hours do you spend a month on devops tasks? And on top of that, how diligent are you with applying patches, testing backups, and all other sorts of drudgery necessary to keep a production site running smoothly? Take that number of hours, multiply it by your consulting rate, and there's a good chance Heroku may save you money.

For most production apps, you'd need at least a part time ops person to do things right. That's the kind of cost Heroku saves you.

All P problems are in NP. If you can solve a problem in polynomial time, you could simply "check" the problem on an input by solving the problem and seeing if the test input were in the set of solutions. It will clearly take P time to perform that "check" (because you can solve the problem in P time). This means all problem in P must be in NP.

The error is that not all problems in NP are "extremely difficult for computers to solve". The difficulty of solving problems in NP varies drastically between particular problems.
This is just the same basic enablement work they used to do with the "nv" driver. This will just make it possible to use an unaccelerated framebuffer and they go out of their way to mention they aren't going to do any open source userspace (aka GL) work.

Sort of - we don't know if NP problems are hard for computers to solve, that's really the whole question!

Technically, P is a subset of NP. Problems in NP have answers (called certificates) which can be verified, or checked, using an algorithm that runs in polynomial time (that is asymptotically O(n^x), where X is a finite integer). Problems that are in P are those that have a polynomial time algorithm to construct an answer.

Any problem that's in P is therefore in NP, as we can simply run the algorithm for constructing the answer then compare it with the certificate to see if they match.

P vs NP simply asks if all problems in NP can be solved in polynomial time, hence P=NP.
I'm all for responsible disclosure, and going public in case a vendor ignores the issue. But publishing the private data of innocent people on bittorrent? And they have the audacity to write it in the tone of a honest security researcher? I call them irresponsible pricks.

Really, I'd have more sympathy with them if they would have used the security hole for criminal purposes, for their own monetary gain. Not nice, but I would have gotten that. But just dumping private data on the net, and believing people should even be thankful for it... that is insane.

Thankfully its probably just a list of filenames, but even that can do enough damage, and they have no right to do so.
How does the Chromecast work for someone like me that has their movie collection stored on a NAS? I currently use XBMC in my living room, but for the bedroom I'd love to have something like the Chromecast if I could use it to stream content (MKV, x264) from my NAS plus maybe some Netflix/Pandora. Is that possible with the Chromecast?

If not, does this SDK open up more possibilities for playing local content vs. streaming?
Along these lines, I recommend installing New Relic server monitoring on all your EC2 instances.

The server-level monitoring is free, and it's super simple to install. (The code we use to roll it out via ansible: https://gist.github.com/drob/8790246)

Why exactly am I meant to be mollified by the fact that our Constitution was the best thing that a bunch of rich, well-connected, slaveholding elites were able to do with trendiest political philosophies of the 1600s?

And, how do you square an appeal to the framers of the Constitution for limited government with the actual decisions of those framers over the first 30 years of the US Government?

In establishing a process that allows for the orderly application of the input of the governed, of "clearing the channels" for democracy, the Constitution has been an extraordinarily effective instrument. In establishing the fundamental principles and values of that government --- something it barely even tries to do --- it is much less effective. Searching the Constitution for principles and values inevitably involves an element of tea leaf reading; pretty quickly you're out of the text of the Constitution and into the Federalist Papers, and now we're talking about a rule by three dead guys.

Ask HN: Niche content blog gets 20k views per month, now what?
A friend and I have an NFL draft blog that started off as just for our own draft research and has blossomed to ~20k views per month, doing basically nothing to promote the content anywhere. We have some ideas about how to grow it, through online marketing, social media and the like. But, we're hoping to hear from people who have taken a niche site and niche audience, through decent side project monetization.

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on how best to proceed to monetize the content or grow the site? Other goals would be to gain visibility / establish the main content generator as an authority.

Thanks in advance.

Chromecast is missing one thing, imho: a controller for my kids.

I'm not giving my kids the Nexus 7 every time they want to watch something on the TV screen. The Chromecast suddenly goes from a $35 to a $235 device. Instead I have a uHost android-stick that uses an accelerometer-based airmouse... it's not good, but it works and cost me $50.

I keep waiting for Google to complete the Nexus line with a bare-bones 4" low-quality phoneless device for kids - an answer to the iPod.
This is actually a lot fewer users/accounts than I had imagined they were accessing using FISA requests.
