Great list, thanks for making this!

One that's missing, though, is Max/MSP, a visual programming environment focused around music & other media. It's used heavily by many experimental musicians and artists.
Thanks LXC maintainers! When Docker goes public, they'll send you each a free t-shirt.
That isn't true. I'm in a 3 year old group chat with 4 iPhone friends and 1 Android friend and it works perfectly fine. The Android friend just gets text messages, the rest of us get iMessages.
Enterprise pricing is an entirely different league from individual or SMB pricing. The only thing surprising here is that they're displaying the price openly, whereas most SaaS companies have you speak with a sales team first ("Contact Us").

With that said, I think it's funny that the customer testimonial at the top of the page is about a basic feature that's available in the free Analytics:

> "Google Analytics shows us how our customer segments behave on mobile vs. desktop. That's a huge plus as we make key marketing and product decisions."
It's persistent across app opens, not across installs though. We were using AdvertiserID for tracking but Apple started clamping down on that so we've switched over to to vendor ID, which they explicitly recommend for things like this.
Yes, we tie the two data sets together.
In Brazil there was some notice, deep on the international sections of the written papers. I don't know about television.

Unfortunately for a lot of the planes the cost of education isn't really any less. The reason you want that babysitter is for when something goes wrong and if the pilot doesn't know much then the only thing he's supplying is the comfort factor of a 'real' pilot.
I'd draw a parallel to a sys admin. It's all well and good to have a comsci student fresh out of university as your sys admin when the system is set up and running correctly. However unless you have one with the right experience when an unexpected error pops up you may end up with significant losses and a much longer/no recovery.
It's not just you, I've heard this before, but I personally don't agree. Obviously it's very subjective and depends on how you learn/think - I'm a visual person so these types of environments have always made a lot of sense to me.

Also, don't forget that most of the complicated-looking ones are showing a large program - the equivalent of hundreds of lines of code. Just like you to see a portion of code on your screen at any given time, to work on these you'd zoom in to the relevant portion.
Sure. I got involved with doge within the first week and a half of it existing. 'long time' is all relative.
The various parts of CA are, as you say, quite different from one another, but they are all extremely passive-aggressive compared to the North East.
Because you don't the first thing about what's going on? Ok.
interest rates in any checking account is essentially nothing. I care a lot more about being able to send money and do other banking things on the go as well as at my computer, with good support.
Ya. My Bad. I've added a better screen shot.
We don't share data to any third parties. We do look at aggregate traffic internally to ensure we can meet demand. We also will go into people's accounts if they ask us to for support. I'll make that more explicit in our policy.
Agreed. How could Gox imploding result in a better bitcoin world? I'd lose a ton of money, so my little world would be directly worsened. The price of bitcoin is now about $500, but it likely would've stayed >$650. And now people will forever use this as an example of why bitcoin is dangerous: financial unregulation is dangerous.

It will be just another page in history, yes, but it's a painful one. Personally I still believe Gox will ultimately be okay since everything still has a logical explanation, but hypothetically it seems hard to believe that Gox self-destructing would be anything but bad news.
Value that reaches maximum possible energy goes negative? Sounds suspiciously like integer overflow...

It's funny, I first found that site many many years ago, when I did a web search (might not even have been Google) for "how to destroy the Earth".
> if you're worried about the information Google collects on you and so choose to plaster that all over message boards every time Google is mentioned - exactly what are you accomplishing?

If you're worried about the information Google collects about /everybody/, and you're posting in /relevant topics/, I think you're accomplishing quite a lot. I think it's really important that when new technology is announced, interested parties discuss both "here are some exciting new possibilities" and "here are some areas for concern". In an impartial discussion forum, a product announcement shouldn't just be an excitement-fest.

> Do you think the people reading your comment don't already know what information Google has available?

This technology will likely result in Google and others collecting and having access to new sources of information about people. I think that many people reading the announcement might not immediately think about some of these implications, and I think it's a great time for review and examination of the topic.

> Do you think Google's going to change its practices because you complain?

I think some engineers and others working on this project and other projects at Google probably read HN, and I think comments here could have an effect on how they build this product and what data is eventually sent to the company. Reading these concerns might be a good reminder to reflect on these things from time to time as well.

> I think the grandparent's point is to focus on things that are actionable.

Action without reflection is a dangerous formula. Google is taking action by building this and announcing it. What we do at HN is learn, reflect, and discuss.
Are there really other oil countries that have a hard time to even get credit?

And then there are the large social problems? A command economy that kills local business might be common, but the size must be worse in Venezuela? Etc.

To close the opposition media and using the TV is quite standard in places like that. But as much as in Venezuela?

(Libya and possibly Iraq has problems from violence and Iran has sanctions. They are a bit special cases.)
Because as you imply in your other comment, MtGox is not deemed as trustworthy exhange by many. It is good that Bitcoin doesn't rely so much on it for now.

After all, MtGox is not Bitcoin.
There are passive-aggressive people everywhere, but it is especially prevalent on the west coast. There’s an old cartoon that sums it up perfectly, comparing New York and LA: the New Yorker is shown to be thinking “I love you, man” but saying “fuck you!”. For the Angelino it's the opposite.
When one talks about an n-byte key in cryptography one typically means an n-bytes combinatorial space, not a string of length n representing n decimal digits.

That's what the cybercriminal needs to learn to distinguish :-)
Is x86 so convoluted because with each new iteration (8086 -> 80186 -> 80286), Intel tried to maintain backward compatibility?
Check out the media coverage table on pg 34.

"Comparing average coverage by private and state
media outlets in Figures 1 and 2, we find imbalance
in the tone of coverage among both but find it more
pronounced among state media. On the one hand, in
state-owned television, 95 percent of reporting was
positive about Hugo Chávez, while in private outlets
this number reached 48 percent." (pg34)

"...NGOs monitoring the campaign, such
as Transparencia Venezuela and Grupo La Colina,
have indicated broad use of government resources
to support the Chávez campaign, such as vehicles to transport campaign workers and supporters to marches
and also on voting day." (pg43)

"In the Venezuelan context, safeguards to prevent the
abuses of ventajismo or to make violations of the law costly not just financially but politically, in terms of imposing sanctions against the perpetrating campaign, are crucially missing." (pg43)

Be careful, you just claimed that Motionloft is an enormous fraud. That's not what has been established here.
You should not be posting to HN.
This isn't the first time a Bitcoin company has imploded taking a large amount of customer funds with it. A lot of people have also seen this train wreck coming for a long time, like nearly 10 months ago it was obvious something wasn't quite right. Many people had already moved from Gox to more reputable exchanges like Bitstamp or Coinbase. This might effect Bitcoin in the near term while this shakes out but long term I doubt it will be more than a sentence in this history of Bitcoin's rise.
This is a very myopic view that has already caused many deaths. Privacy concerns around medical records have prevented any central database of them from being built, and thus prevented us from saving all of the lives that could be saved by analyzing that data.

Data is what lets us keep hospitals safe by establishing best practices, lets us cure diseases, lets us avoid unnecessary treatment, and just in general, separate fact from fiction. If we can't aggregate data, we can't do those things nearly as effectively as we could, and simplistic views of privacy have prevented this from happening.

There are plenty of concerns about data, and plenty of ways of mitigating those concerns, but a blanket condemnation of any centralized data would hold humanity back immeasurably (and in fact, already has.)
I find the infinite scroll annoying, taking away from its otherwise clean feeling.
Your better screen is the second image in the article I linked.
This is fascinating. So because you are ignorant of what happened, that gives you the license to make up a story because it is potentially suspect?
Problem with mtgox is not that people think they are going to run with the money. Issue lies with the fact that they had some of bitcoins stolen with transaction malleability issue. Question is just how much got stolen. What market thinks with bitcoin price @mtgox is that they do not have enough bitcoins to cover all the people who want to withdraw them.

Yep, namely <54 bytes. Just for ease of comparison.

~54 bytes vs 128 bytes.

Considering it's a logarithmic measure (every bit adds x2 difficulty for cracking) and 128 bytes is rather tight... gives an idea of the weakness of this key.
There is some speculation of insider trading, too.

Scams happen even in supposedly highly regulated financial companies you only need to look as far as Bernie Madoff and Jon Corzie's MF Global this doesn't really have much to do with regulation.

Is it just me, or is there no LTE support here? Seems like a largish oversight.
Very nice! I see you've got Simulink, but you could consider adding the associated state machine editor Stateflow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateflow
SQL is a bit deceptive in that it cloaks set-based operations in something apparently simple. Iterative operations are easier for most people to conceptualize—you could create a flow chart, whereas sets require a bit of math. Once you can think in terms of sets, SQL becomes a lot clearer. The issue with sets is, in my opinion, the root of problems in Object-Relational Mapping.

There were other query languages that were less of a messy compromise. QUEL, for example was based more rigorously on relational calculus. I think it never took off because the dumbed-down SQL was a little easier for programmers to conceptualize initially.

Please form two orderly lines. People who are shocked, appalled, and surprised form to the left. People who are just itching to say "I told you so!" please form to the right. I hear refreshments and snack cakes are to be served and a bar will begin selling liquor soon (cash only).
In my experience with Labview you still spend a lot of your time arranging cables and boxes.

I'm sure practical visual programming will be a reality some day, but for now writing code is the best we have.
I don't know at all if this is true, but his argument seems to just be that DDG is pulling its results from yandex, yandex shows w3schools at the top, and DDG doesn't have it in the first few hundred results--therefore DDG is filtering or significantly reordering the yandex results.
That's what they said, i choose not to believe them. If i'm ignorant you are just naive. Do you think these people are stupid? they know what they are doing you are just drinking the kool aid.
Third line: cold indifference.
Very neat. Making the screenshot animated might give an even better idea of how it works and make the page a little more dynamic/involving. Do you have any plans to have it analyze the trace(s) and give the user suggestions on what to change?
The gap between data mining and predictive models
Folks are used to the FBI taking little interest in things like MG Global allowing $1.6B of customer money to disappear.
I think of it as similar in its final goal as at&t/olivetti research's "The Bat" ubiquitous or sentient computing project. These links provide some good examples of stuff they did with that:
http://www.vs.inf.ethz.ch/events/dag2002/program/ws/Beresfor...
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/shodges/videos...

in short, the physical world can be treated as a user interface to computers.

There's a large technical distinction of course; in the case of the bat, getting the technology up and running to do this was sophisticated enough that the video i linked to spends a large portion explaining how it works. they used centralized computers and centralized sensors (echo-locators) to figure out where the device you are holding is within a known environment. Nowadays, we can put so much compute power and so many sensors in a device you are holding that it can figure out its own environment instead.
Seriously?! This kind of talk sounds just like conspiracy theory to me. If the worst case you can come up with for this tech is that the DEA will be able to find pictures of drug paraphernalia YOU YOURSELF take pictures of and upload, then I really can't see why you take issue with this tech. Just don't turn the room mapping service on to take pictures of stuff you don't want online; you're still in control here. Besides, if the government really has it out for you as an individual, they won't need pictures of the inside of your house to justify searching it, I'm sure they can come up with any number of other reasons. Do you put stickers over your phone camera to prevent the DEA spying on your room to see your drug paraphernalia? No? I didn't think so.

The possible benefits of this tech are tremendous, and far outweigh any crazy conspiracy theory downsides.
I am glad you watched a documentary and felt as if you now have a good understanding as to what is happening in Venezuela . Just like right-wing people get their news from conservative, mainstream media, there are those who try to justify their inner ideologies and believes by thinking that the information they get from an old-fashion group of leftys is just, fair and even objective.
What? No it isn't. It's not true of accountants. It's not true of lawyers.
I think very domain specific visual programming environments work well: music, 3d modeling, etc.

However, for the ones that try to be domain agnostic, they don't seem to work so well.
Their servers are probably configured fine. They likely have a pool of servers with no reverse DNS to try and catch servers issuing different content to Googlebot

Does anyone know how much of the total BTC are still held within Mt Gox? If MG does indeed implode or go bankrupt, what happens to the BTC it still holds? I feel sorry for those who trusted MG with their BTC, but the writing was on the wall a while ago.
I don't know Ayn Rand. I also don't claim that my opinion is in any way new.

And: The financial sector are our new rulers, even when you are not afraid. Ignorance does not save from the truth.

Just look into the news. The Occupy movement was suppressed by the police, because the finance sector paid for it. The political system in most western countries is totally under control of the finance sector.

We are slaves, but we don't know it (yet).

Edit: In second reading your answer, I see that I misinterpreted your statements ... sorry! But for arguments sake, I leave the comment intact.
No, the GP made an indefensible generalization as an attempt to sidestep a technical argument on the value of liquidity and financing, and when they got called on it you pretended to a specific argument they never made.

If you mean that he should have said Mills seems to be an enormous fraud, then yes. Which meets his larger point that of course the FBI should have called in, because there was still enormous fraud going on.
If you don't want to show something in the map you yourself create of your own home, then just don't include it in the map.

Having point cloud data of your home in general is a complete non-issue, I'm sure most of the time the government already has floor plan data for your home.
GitHub Feature request? (Remove commented lines checkbox)
Funny story about that. We (reddit) had a long debate about what the default UI and content should be back when we internationalized (2008 I think?). Should we use the Accept-Language header to select both the UI and the content, or just the UI? We started by making the assumption that if your preferred language was French, for example, you'd want French content.

We got a ton of feedback from French speakers that they preferred the English content, so we ended up settling on selecting a UI based on the A-L header but giving the default English content (unless you specifically set it otherwise).

Spotify crossed some lines auto sharing every song you listened to via Facebook. It was frictionless sharing you couldn't turn off but gave them viral growth
That innovation is now commoditized: AWS will let you buy it. The first few times it was a big benefit to society to get invented, but the next social app won't advance what society can do the same way the first one did.
Love these scrapper template generators. I wonder why you chose Java instead of something like PhantomJS to run the scrapper.
You probably can't use any proprietary OS on it: Apple certainly would never license iOS, and I doubt W8 would either.

Android, Ubuntu Mobile, Firefox OS, Meego, Tizen are more likely candidates.
This isn't going to kill Bitcoin. MtGox has been seen as an extremely unreliable exchange since 2012, despite the healthy growth and relative stability of a few other competing exchanges.

It's no shock that Gox would die due to technical problems like this; they're not run by a technologically competent staff (compared to, say, Coinbase, a YC startup).
The problem with what Google or Facebook do is that deep down I know it's going to be integrated into their main product, and I won't be able to use it without sharing my real name and friends and everything else tied to the account. Or it will make me create an account, pick yet another password, fill out a profile, yadda yadda. Just thinking about it makes me sleepy.

Why can't it just be simple? Get the app and pick a phone number to message. The SMS situation is so bad that it's got a giant flashing neon sign "Disrupt me please" all over it yet none of the big players are stepping up.
Who would actually take someone up on a bet like that though? It's like betting the sun would rise tomorrow.... somewhere on the globe.
There's a reason for that: the legacy of slavery for African Americans, and the massive continuous immigration of low- wage- earning latinos.

Vietnamese and Indian neighborhoods in the US don't tend to be run down. For that matter, there are middle-class black enclaves. They're just not as noticeable as the huge poor black neighborhoods.
This is so harmful, because Mt Gox has been seen as the main exchange by many people, despite being almost useless for withdrawing USD for many months. People should have been avoiding it like the plague, but it was still a large percentage of the market.

One lesson here is that an exchange shouldn't be used as a wallet, i.e. Don't keep funds there for a significant length of time. Put your usd/btc in there, make your trades, then take the btc/usd out asap.
This drives me crazy. The whole reason they are given a decades long monopoly is so they build the infrastructure. Once it is built there is absolutely no good reason to renew the monopoly. It's like continuing to pay on your 30 year mortgage after 30 years!

And when local governments had this power they renewed the cable monopolies anyway?! In 2005 San Francisco, for $8 million upfront and $500k a year, the SF government sold Comcast exclusive rights to SF's 800,000+ residents for 4 years. And this has effectively been extended indefinitely.

This is a good example of the difference between the public and private sectors.

Do you know if the 3.14 kernel will have full support for user namespaces for unprivileged containers? On the LXC blog, they mention requiring 3.13 with some staging patches.
Indeed do you like and enjoy dealing with your cable company? Do you like paying for tons of channels that hold no value to you? Do you not want to see awesome and innovative content services created? Do you know the history of copyright and how they always fight technology, but it in the end it works out for the better of them?
Yes, this please. My entire CrossFit box would start using this tomorrow if it were available on iOS. I don't know anyone with an Android.
Google use an internal fork of Protocol Buffers as well. They also have a Protobufs based RPC stack that they've never released.

Personally I commend Facebook for their recent open source contributions. Sure, they suffer from bunker syndrome, but that seems to be par for the course for these sorts of companies. Just look at Android for another example of code-drop Buckaroo.
My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek and hyperbolic, but none of it is outside the range of what goes on with every other similar technology today. My main point was that I used to be excited about stuff like this, but now I just wonder how new tech will be abused to deliver ads.
