Until this spring, windows phone will have very much lacking hardware support. Lacking low-cost platforms especially. And I would disagree that these are android phones. They are android phones in the typical microsoft way : they're only meant to poison the android ecosystem, not to actually contribute and provide the best possible phones to their customers.
The Spanish demo text is abysmal. Please get a native Spanish speaker to help out.

Now. Where do I get this for my kindle? Add a play/pause button and a (continuous) knob to tune the speed (with reverse?). An option to jump back a sentence or a paragraph? Or show me the current position on the actual page? (Some way to make spacial position meaningful.) And I'm pretty sure I'm sold.

You can write more verbose regex using Named Capture Buffers. Here is an example I posted on HN not long ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6895126

NB. Follow link to original post to compare against standard regex version.

There are also some nice grammar parsers available in some languages which make this even easier. For examples of this see Perl6 Rules/Grammar, Perl5 Regexp::Grammars or (for something which doesn't used regex at all is) Rebol Parse.

For eg. Here is my Rebol version of the HN post above: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1smpa1/why_rebo...

And here is a presentation which shows a great example using Perl6 grammars: http://jnthn.net/papers/2014-fosdem-perl6-today.pdf

That's a totally understandable fear. Personally, I trust the ability of user-agents to help users make informed decisions in this area, but I can understand why you don't. Nevertheless, even with this proposal HTTP/2.0 will be substantially more secure than HTTP/1.1 is, at least in the aggregate.

It's also worth noting that this is a proposal. You didn't actually make this mistake yourself but I do want to highlight it: the HTTP WG is not yet discussing this as anything more than a suggestion (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2014JanMar/... ). If you are worried about this sort of proposal becoming a draft, I highly recommend you join the working group and keep an eye on the proxy discussions.
> That's not the kind of volatility I look for in an investment.

Are you aware that any investment that produces nothing other than a rising market price is pretty much guaranteed to have very high volatility?
"Cryptographers must usually enable the partition table."

These are actually really really funny.
Many, many things last more than a decade. A stone house (of which there are many abandoned in the UK) will stand visibly for centuries.

There are many differences between bunkers and the pyramids. The biggest one is that bunkers were designed to be as low profile as possible. They are nowhere near the scale of the pyramids. Probably the next most important difference is the location. The pyramids were built in a desert environment which is hostile to the biggest enemy of manmade buildings - vegetation.

I'm not arguing that the pyramids aren't an incredible feat, or a monument to the achievement of an otherwise very low-technology early society. What I'm arguing against is the idea that the building of a fusion reactor would somehow be the first human development which would surpass the pyramids of giza as a monument of human achievement. The fact we have spacecraft in distant orbits which will remain exactly as they are for centuries or millenia is surely a much greater monument (albeit one which is hard to find). Our major cities (which are so entrenched that even if they were abandoned today would exist in some form for centuries, and certainly be easily identified for millenia) are vast monuments of human achievement. Can you really argue that the entirety of London is less of a monument of human achievement than the pyramids of giza?
>> "This screams of utterly gross incompetence, or malicious intent."

When you are dealing with a persons money you need to know what you're doing. Gross incompetence is no excuse (and I've seen a lot of people on HN excusing MTGox and feeling sorry for them - not you, others -).

Secondly when something goes this wrong you need to be honest. By failing to communicate with their customers their incompetence has become malicious. They are more concerned with themselves than their customers and this is particularly bad since we are dealing with peoples finances.
I saw the WebMD app nag and thought for more than a few moments that it was from codinghorror.com.

And was unmistakably annoyed.

Then I realized that was precisely the point. And yes, it's absofuckinglutely annoying.

Right up there with interstitials and flyovers on webpages. I'm thinking of writing a default Stylebot CSS to simply block any element class / ID starting with "fly".

The other problem, of course (and checking to see if Jeff addresses this -- yes, obliquely) is that every app comes with its own permissions set(s) which I the user need to individually inspect and vet. And, frankly, which I'm increasingly reluctant to do so.

Fastest way to get your app removed from my phone? Request additional permissions. Goodbye Pandora, whatever that "identify that song" app was, Facebook, Mr. Number (irony: nominally a privacy-enhancing app) and others.
Comment at mtgox site says now "<!-- put announce for mtgox acq here -->", so although the document might be true, there are also some positive news coming.
Oh great, another dumbass who doesn't now what a communist is. I know the Cold War has turned y'all off from learning anything real about leftist ideologies, but c'mon, you know that Marx et al would be totally opposed to the totalitarian regimes that claim to espose their political theories.
Google’s Cutts Talks EXIF Data As A Ranking Factor
What is the Mt.Gox memo pdf is cover for a 0 day exploit that hijacks your BTC, and you just got screwed while scrambling in fear for your bitcoins?
That actually came in handy the odd times when I had to input an email address for someone that mainly used FB.
Or they'll buy whoever makes it to, say, 500M+ monthly active users of some other, new, email service. Probably for tens of billions.
I hate for my only comment on this fascinating piece to be largely irrelevant, but has anyone else noticed that the publication date is March 3, 2014? It's only the 25th of February.
> I doubt they would willingly downgrade a working 64GB to a 4GB (and lose all the profit they could have made). That's just not a sane business practice in the flash industry.

It doesn't work like that. The model your parent comment is discussing goes like this:

1. Sandisk decides how much to charge for 64GB cards.

2. That price creates a certain level of demand for 64GB cards.

3. Sandisk manufactures many, many more 64GB cards than it can sell at the price it established in step (1).

4. Sandisk downgrades the surplus cards to lower capacity so it can still sell them without eating into 64GB card profits.

What you appear to be missing is that if you have extra 64GB cards, you can't necessarily sell them without lowering the price of 64GB cards across the board, leaving you having sold more cards for less money. So that "profit they could have made" that you refer to is illusory.
I don't think that's right. Nothing outside Earth(2014)'s past light-cone can affect anything inside it, nor can anything outside Earth(2015)'s past light-cone affect anything inside it. Expanding the light-cone into the intervening year doesn't require you to simulate anything further out - well, you need to go outside Earth(2014)'s light-cone to simulate Earth(2015), but that's hardly worth mentioning.

I think you're picturing a sphere of 13Gly radius (or whatever) centred on present-day Earth, expanding at lightspeed to encompass new stars and galaxies. But while new matter enters our light-cone, it is not doing so as stars and galaxies. Those all have pasts within the light-cone - you don't need to go outside our past light-cone to find all the things that can affect them. Any matter that only entered our observable universe in the last year doesn't have a past, because it only just came through the Big Bang. It's primordial chaos, not fully-formed stars; you don't need to work out millenia of its past to know what's there. Unless for some reason the simulation needs to calculate pre-Big Bang conditions, which is possible, but then the definition of "light-cone" needs to be amended.
Or like the collectible card game industry.
What if Apple buys a company that sells fruit? I'm not trolling, just think of the possibility. Fans of apple would like to buy Apples sold by Apple.
Yes, we absolutely should have regulation for startups that (claim to) replace banking infrastructure.
The same thing is possible today by getting users to install a new CA and maybe configuring a proxy for them.
It doesn't seem like these proposals would make this significantly easier.
That still involves regulation, you have to regulate and make sure that people aren't labeling their eggs salmonella free without getting them tested.

At some level it comes back to regulation. It is part of why I feel bitcoin is misguided.
The residents of the googoolplexth universe would like to know what they're supposed to do when the number is too big to fit on the screen of the people below them.
That really is impressive.

I compared it with the speed-reading app at spreeder.com, and Spritz's claims do seem to be born out. 500 wpm was a little too much for me at Spreeder, but with Spritz's improvements it became manageable.
I read a few of your other posts about BTC and your investment. Kudos on the honest reporting of your motivations and hopes regarding BTC - it was interesting to read them, whatever you think of Bitcoin.

This is the best way to take this sort of loss, and hopefully when you think of it over the long-term you have not lost a significant amount of money. At this point it's better to write off the loss as a lesson learned and move on with other things.
Well, yes. All I have to go on is my own observations. I have observed a large number of people in the Bitcoin community disparage MtGox for a long time. Not sure what else you want me to say.
We arguably rich people have the funds necessary for living in London cheaply in the long therm.

If you buy the house you will never have to pay rent ever on the other hand if you rent you may rent for the rest of your life and adding up all the money you spend on rent over your life would more then pay for the house.

A typical house in London is worth about say £300000 an you're usuall rent for a house like that if you're lucky would be about $1200 but more like £1500 if you want to be realistic.

That means that if you rent for more then 21 years (if you're the luckiest guy in london and find one with a rent at £1200) you have already payed for the house (if we ignore inflation and other things).

Regardless in the long run purchasing the house is the way to go however very few banks a willing to give out that kind of money so only the people that are already rich can pull it off.
We can. Whenever I see "Would you like to install our app? Y/n", my answer has been Ctrl-w to close the tab. This strategy has worked flawlessly for years. It can work for you, too.
I particularly like how the Privacy section is completely blank.
WinX DVD Copy Pro Review 2014
Hello guys! In this video I'll be reviewing WinX DVD Copy Pro. I'll use version 3.6.0 of WinX DVD Copy Pro.
My thoughts on this software after reviewing it: Good: User-friendly interface, support for any DVD disc, ISO support, several backup schemes, fast cloning, selected ripping. Bad: None. Overall: Ideal for anyone in looking for a simple but quick solution to back up DVDs for keeping any kind of loss.
In this case, his impression of lots of people is correct. People that have been around bitcoin for long enough have seen ridiculous things happen at Mt Gox repeatedly.
Just noticed that as well; that's weird indeed. Would that mean we'd actually see it being acquired?
And I think Amazon would like their customers to read more books, too...
Not sure this is true for Google. I have heard/read many times that they do those brain teasers.
That's a shame.

I use this to send emails to a couple of older family members who are happy using Facebook but don't use any 'real' email address. Is there any chance they'll keep some forwarding option around?
The validity of transactions is checked by the individual bitcoin clients. After all, something, somewhere must check if they are valid according to the protocol rules! And this client code can be changed to anything at all, as long as most miners agree to update to it.

Transactions that make up bitcoin out of nothing are already used as rewards for mining a block.
The problem with "apps" is fundamentally one of curation which IMHO is, in turn, a problem of centralization.

If you set out to build "the one big marketplace", you inevitably get to a place where mostly what your marketplace offers is crap, because you have optimized it towards providers putting stuff onto your marketplace.

Thus, in building "the big marketplace", you necessarily fail to optimize it towards users getting value out of the marketplace, because you kinda sorta hoped that would be taken care of by "free market" pressures. (And also because it's one of those "hard problems" that you would rather forget about and build some neat code instead.) But it's the users bearing the collateral damage.

I'm currently working on a package/application distribution system that is decentralized and the "app-pocalypse" is one of the reasons why I made it so. Being decentralized means that the value you are getting out of it depends mainly on the trust you invest in your immediate channel provider who in turn now has a responsibility to keep you happy. By splitting up the relationship and giving people proper roles instead of the delusion of a grand audience that is fit for whatever some app developers shovel into the system, I hope it will end up providing actual value instead of just a top-down revenue system.

Having worked on it for a while now, it always strikes me as weird how we are all on the Internet (which by its design is fault tolerant and decentralized), building these centralized, monolithic services that inevitably fail (either in a big way due to security reasons or in a slow way, like in the app-pocalypse) for the same reasons.
Is this because there is some inconsistency in the GDT documentation?
Hmm? We got all the money back from government bailout. Here, you lose all the money.
Saw this coming a mile off.

I hope the people who lost bitcoin learn not to keep them anywhere but in their own wallets.
My question is why this daemon needs to be included in systemd.git. It appears to be a separate service which could easily live in its own project, to live or die on its own merits.
I've read your comment twice, and it seems to me that it actually validates the "first to file, biatch" comment..?

According to (a) if someone files a patent first then if there is any prior art that and any subsequent patent applications will fail.

According to (b) if someone files a patent first then out of that and any later patent applications the first one will win.

Seems to fit with "first to file" to me.
Inchiriere Vacanta Cazare Regim Hotelier – apartamente vile case pensiuni
Am I the only one that looks at this whole app-crazy-run as something completely unsustainable?

Why would it be unsustainable? Most apps that rely on REST APIs are fairly easy to write. And a few years ago, the experience was much better than web apps.

I do agree with the article that it is a user hostile experience, from the popups, to the inconsistent experience across platforms, and bad support for new platforms.
Boids? In JS? Who would've thought it's even possible... I have not seen anything like this before. Especially not here:

http://processing.org/examples/flocking

PS: can we get over the little non-optional script language?
That would be a good analogy if we couldn't transfer money online. But, you know, we can.

The whole point of Bitcoin that's been touted in pretty much every thread, hoisted up by Libertarians like a giant flag, is that it's unregulated. And now, they're all discovering why we regulated in the first place.
Just my hypothetical answer: Erlang isn't popular because it's kind of a shorthand for Error Language (Erlang).
I have been playing with RPi's for some months now and I'd be anxious to use an SD card (be it micro or standard size) for reliable additional storage space or backup.

Are SD cards reliable enough for normal usage (excluding RPi's brutal power-off which are often prone to corruption) ?
Where did I say the public was hostile to faster Internet? The public is for it, just that this group is too small for them to be relevant yet.
This is actually impossible. Bitcoin has two security points, the miners (proof of work) and the nodes (clients such as the reference client).

Gaining 51% can allow you to double spend your own transactions, but you can't spend other peoples money or make more coin, because the clients will reject those transactions even if 100% of the miners put it through. The nodes verify what the miners do. Even 100% control does not give you God power. The best you can really do is deny all transactions and thus destroy Bitcoin.
Watching Prof. Kamala Krithivasan teaching Automata theory in full sari avatar was just mind blowing :) I think I'm gonna watch this course.
Please. That's not even the biggest fraud in my country (Portugal). In 1925 we had a group who printed 1% of our PIB in fake notes. Just in the 21th century, the state spent 12 billion dollars to bail out the creditors of a bank that was essentially a fraud machine.

Mt.Gox is peanuts.
There doesn't seem to be any information about trading cards at that link. If you are making the claim that they lacked the technical foundations to generate a major currency exchange, then I daresay you are correct. That does not necessarily follow from formerly being a trading card business.

Is it Magic the Gathering specifically that you object to? If they were in the Hanafuda card business would they have had a better chance in a more technical field.
Can I suggest http://www.sibdo.com For individuals it's free and built on top of d3 with some extra functionality that Higcharts does't have. You can even drag files directly onto to the visualizations and the data will render. Also really nice UI for mobile.
Gold isn't money, it's an asset you can barter with.
>Does this mean we shouldn't trust "coldtea" to develop anything?

Of course you shouldn't.

If you were to here him (well, me) you'd ask for my CV -- if not an interview also.

And if it was like "developed some random toy stuff" you wouldn't hire me to develop a money exchange playing with other people's millions of dollars.

And if you were to assess if you will put $10,000 in a financial online service made by me, my past work in the area, my general competence would be quite important.

Else, don't be surprised if you lost it all. The chances were way higher than if you had put that money in Citibank, you just ignored the signs.

And for me, not giving the impression I'm a 20-something script kiddie with a fancy handle would also be quite important. I mean, it might be prejudice, but "Ives, Rockefeller and Berstein" as a financial service just feels more secure than "$uper7eetMoneyMakah", "LuvFlamingoes" or "MagicalTux".
This simply means that phone/tablet manufacturers together with carriers will pre-install and trust the proxy certificates of the carrier, without any end user consent.

Not a shrink but all these symptoms point to depression. Strongly suggest you visit clergy, therapist, or some other caring but impartial person. No shame in that. You wouldn't treat your own MS or gallstones.
That's simply incorrect. According to Krugman (back in 4/2013, back when data was not yet released) 2013 will be a test of Market Monetarism (QE to target NGDP), since the QE3 will be offset by fiscal austerity:

...we are in effect getting a test of the market monetarist view right now, with the Fed having adopted more expansionary policies even as fiscal policy tightens.

Some words for my friends: Bitcoin
I'm just hoping I can get home after work and buy some coins at the price the are now before it goes up again. I feel that this is mostly already discounted in the price, everyone was expecting it. It may drop further but it's not going to last.

I should add that I only plan to spend perhaps 1% of my money available for saving/investing in bitcoin. I think it's a good investment but the risk is too high to risk more.
MtGox acquired?
It's a refinement of the idea.

If you use Spreeder, your eye still needs to move sometimes. That slows you down. Spritz has been carefully designed to ensure that your eye never needs to move, and never wants to move.

In my informal comparison tests, these improvements do make a difference.
Impressive, and interesting, but with one problem: I, like a lot of people, have floaters in my eyes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floaters). When I focus on a single point and don't move my eyes around, they tend to congregate at the centre of my vision and in Spritz's case block the words that are being shown.

Potentially, a brief pause every 50 words or so would make sense in order to quickly move my eyes and unblock my vision, though obviously at the cost of some words per minute.
