Well, do you want kids to understand their computing systems, or would you prefer they just be placid consumers? I think you're asking for the latter just because you have a personal grudge against "Linux" not being some corporate property.

Linux is a commons resource. ABSOLUTELY, children should know how they can use the commons resource they have available to them - anything else, and you set up future generations for even more corporate control.

In case you're an un-educated American who doesn't know what the commons is, and why Linux is such an important resource when viewed from a commons perspective, educate yourself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons

I know that commons is anathema to American industrial thinking, but alas .. this is precisely why its important to educate our children on what rights, responsibilities, and resources they have available to them. Linux is a very, very powerful tool which belongs to everyone. Microsoft Windows belongs to the shareholders of Microsoft - and nobody else.

What do you think a re-view is? A review is what the user experienced; doesn't matter if the developer is going to get the bug fixed the next day or if is going to stay there for the rest of the eternity; the same thing with the user experience and expectations. If one of the users is uncommonly dumb and doesn't understand your simple user interface that's why the app store uses an average and not the opinion of one single user when it displays the app. Plus your users can always change their ratings later on if you answer (or fix) their concerns.

To be honest, I pretty much hate man pages.

They almost never have examples(Is that some sort of rule?), they have no "quick summary of the shit you use 95% of the time", and they get generally written as a novel, seemingly from the perspective of the developer of the util rather than consumer.

Mind you, I have used man pages many times before, but only because it was the best source of information, not because it was a particularly efficent one.

The Markdown README of this string library is a thousand times better than any man page I have seen.
And '640K is more memory than anyone will ever need.' Business models change and in reality there are no free lunches. Just because they say something in the past doesn't mean it can't and shouldn't change.
Weirdly, the C++ Faq taught me more about object-oriented and related issues than any other source. It's very good.
Try some alternative performance-testing sites, and see if there's a difference with those; if there might be different QoS rules in play for specific web sites.

The speedof.me site is one I've occasionally used, and that also avoids the need for Adobe Flash.

FWIW, the people investigating strongly believe that this assessment is wrong. However, they are not giving out all the details to corroborate their assessment (they fear copycats).

"This wasn't an incident where Billy-Bob and Joe decided, after a few brewskis, to come in and shoot up a substation," Mark Johnson, retired vice president of transmission for PG&E, told the utility security conference, according to a video of his presentation. "This was an event that was well thought out, well planned and they targeted certain components." When reached, Mr. Johnson declined to comment further".

I just can't get upset about this. Perhaps as the article suggests this is the canary in the coal mine that portends the imminent downfall of imgur as a non spammy image host. Perhaps. But I don't think so.

First of all, imgur needs to make money somehow. So far they've exercised extreme restraint and made no short term or short sightef optimizations that I'm aware of.

Second, what legitimate reasons could they have for this behavior?

* get people to re-share the images, as the destination page has share buttons

* ensure search engines follwing the links pick up the canonical page instead of the raw image page.

* get better analytics or tracking data by being able to run JavaScript. -- they are a free service that needs this data to sell ads, if you don't like being tracked, invest the minimal effort to install an anonymizer.

* it could be a workaround from something that fb/twitter is doing that inadvertently grabs the raw link when users intend to share the canonical page.

I'm sure there are a dozen other reasons, and right now we don't have enough information to know why they are doing this.

Given their history of restraint, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
I've actually wondered this for years - why reddit let imgur take that lead and run with it, but to some of the other replies I guess it does come down to cost. Reddit doesn't have a big budget and until last year I think it was just 3 or 4 of them (now I still think it is < 10) -- the moment they get a huge influx of money though, the moment they take over media hosting, cripple third party mobile apps and start punching babies - it seems to be the way of the startup world.

For what little (nothing?) it is worth, it upsets me that this pattern is repeated over and over and over... for once I'd like to see a startup grow organically over time, never forgetting their roots, not being worth $4 billion after a year of being in business and just acting like a good, solid, mature company that grows into something valuable over a decade.

These overnight-billion-dollar dice rolls are getting exhausting and while really addictive and interesting, they just suck the air out of the room.
I downloaded it for the hell of it and really enjoy it so far. I love the whole mood / vibe / difficulty of the game. Great work.
No one has pointed out that this is bad for the providers throttling traffic.

If Time Warner, Comcast, and AT&T want their names to be associated with budget brands then its ok. Customers accept poor quality when the price is really low and there is no lock in (pre-paid mobile phone service.) Good luck getting those people to purchase premium services from you years in to the future.

On Hacker News we complain a lot about things most people don't care about like privacy and security. Most big companies can disregard those issues with minimal visible impact to their business long term. Video streaming quality is different because its what basically all of your customers are doing. Anyone with an IQ over 70 knows something is wrong, and you can't excuse it away.

Its possible that the peak bandwidth doesn't exist. In that case these ISPs are overselling their "inventory" much like airlines oversell seats. It could be early signs of infrastructure issues to investors.
If you sell something in your app that is then consumed in the app, you have to do it through Apple's IAP and give them a 30% cut.

On the other hand, if you're selling physical products, you're not allowed to use Apple's IAP. I was actually surprised when I read this, but the review rules did state that last time I looked.

Using an app to manage a payment system that's external to Apple is quite legitimate. That's why the PayPal app exists. And I would wager that Bitcoin apps would fall under the same general category, of being things that happen outside of IAP, and therefore the reason they're getting pulled from the store has to do with something other than the IAP rules.
Hey there! Shawn from Beep. We listed iOS7 since we're shipping in fall, it's market share is already pretty high. But if it's not high enough then we'll support iOS6.

Btw, love Squeezebox, Dean Blacketter, one of the founders and CTO is a friend and advisor to us.
given the years of covert actions slowly coming to light, this is changing. I'm not just talking about relationships with 3-letter agencies but also actions like colluding to push down developer salaries, black-boxing their search algorithms, suddenly blacklisting competitors in their search rankings (e.g. Rap Genius), WiFi and Streeview privacy invasion, etc... How many times have they already faced Antitrust accusations?

Add to that the fact that Google is THE face of the recent tech backlash. Others don't like the whole idea that they employ a tiny fraction of someone like GM yet "hoovering up public subsidies and then avoiding taxes"[1]. If the public backlash continues or increases, we'll all start to face (some) repercussions - so how long will the tech community support Google en masse?

SnowShoe Stamps – small pieces of plastic with secret digital identities
Sorry, I missed your comment.

The initial plan was to release a viedeo of the app, like Drew Houston did with Dropbox. But in my mind the video needed to be perfect, not showing any signs of bugs or misshaps, so I got a bit stuck with that. So instead I decided to go with a good landing page and screenshots insted. Thats way I thought it would be a lot of work in making a video demo.
I think it's really context-sensitive. Some things work best with a touchscreen, I suppose. I do know one thing - I'd probably rather beat myself to death with a tablet than try to program (or type anything at all, for that matter) on it.
Love the idea, would be a fun if you paid for each person you caught stealing and nothing otherwise. When I'm bored and there is nothing on TV, I can just turn on your app and pretend to be a security guard. Maybe you can even have an API that would let users make applications that track people stealing.
Seriously, what is up with opening a bank account in Europe? They will soon require cavity searches just to let you into the damn building.

On Solving The Social Aspect Of BPM
If, and I stress that quite heavily, if Apple introduces a payment service, then we can revisit this topic. But Apple has never been known to pull apps from their store that compete with a potential future app of theirs. If Apple wants to take over a market, they'll do it when they enter that market. It runs counter to everything Apple to broadcast moves like this ahead of time.

Could we leverage a VPN tunnel over short band radio waves? This would allow us to detect a Man in the middle attack, as well as provide decentralized access. The speeds would be slow, and the network could be 'jammed' but it could work for medium distance messaging.
To be fair, the library already assigns returns from realloc in such a way that you cannot retrieve the old data if realloc failed.

It's interesting to take a closer look at this game. Make something intuitive enough where people think "Of course I can beat your high score in this, look how simple it is" and then it make it insanely difficult.

Side note: I wonder if the developer meticulously chose the "flap height" and pipe width such that it would drive us all insane, or if he just got lucky.
Oh, well that's easy to clear up. I'm not entitled to anything except what I already bought. Not sure why you assumed otherwise.
> There'd be a constant stream of new data of interest to scientists and the public

There would be no stories. No machine can tell you how it feels to be there. If, ultimately, the goal is to send people, then we should send people. Of course, we should send machines until we are sure it's safe to send people, but we can't forget why we are doing it.

We (rightfully) complain NASA does too little with the money they have while military spending is orders of magnitude larger. And, as long as that money is used to fund fighters such as the F-35 (good luck for those who'll fly it) and the F-22 (is that O2 problem fixed?), there will be very little benefit from there except fat military contractors.

BTW, those are the same companies that feed on NASA.

As always, the answer is No. However, teaching people to become entrepreneurs is a moderately bad startup idea.
Good question. We don't delay signals since the user may walk between rooms.

Syncing is an interesting problem for sure. It's really a question of how precisely you can sync the clocks between devices. Our current method is fairly naive, we let ntp sync clocks for us, count the number of samples played, and drop samples every now and then on devices that are behind. This gets us to 2ms accuracy between devices. We could get much lower with a better algorithm. But 2ms is very difficult to notice in a home listening situation between rooms.

Flash and Silverlight are dying anyway. So it's up to the movie industry and not up to us to bend over. And you know at least Flash was separated from the browser and ported to several systems.

Decrentralizing the web's software isn't good enough. We need to decentralize the hardware. Right now, connections to the web look like a tree, where a whole bunch of connections get funneled through an ISP. That ISP has the power. The power to throttle, the power to block, the power to record. And that ISP can be pressured by other powers. We need to decentralize so that instead of looking like a hierarchical tree, the internet looks like a graph. With each building forming a node that connects to its neighbors.

Of course, the amount of work it would take to build such a web and move to it likely rules out the possibility of it ever happening. I mean, how do we go about forming a movement to build this? It only works, really, if everyone's on board.

An HSV (1/2) vaccine is really important, in that the virus can increase chances for HIV transmission during it's viral shedding phase. Even if HSV is well-controlled by drugs like Acyclovir, lowering the overall risk of HIV transmission would be huge. In addition, HSV, along with HPV is one of those STDs that isn't 100% avoidable even with condom usage, sometimes infecting people who are surprised given that they had always practised 'safe sex' at least by consistently using condoms.

For what it's worth, I've been working on a RESTful API service in clojure, and I've been using Liberator, and been loving it.

The one thing I've really loved about the clojure community is the willingness to take a step back from the problem at hand and the attempt to understand what kind of architecture could address that problem, as opposed to just porting an existing idea/architecture to clojure.

I found that the audio for this game made it much more fun. The coin sound is pleasant and familiar, and reinforces me to want to play.

The punching sound when you die is pretty hilarious, and makes me want to try again. Because, hey, if I got a good laugh from dying, maybe I'll have another laugh from it again. The death punch is accentuated by the slight screen shake as well. nice little touches.

There are other mechanics that make it rather addicting, but I found the sound and other little touches added a lot.
