I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long for the auto industry to adopt mobile platforms as part of the in-car experience. This is a great move though, hopefully it will force other manufacturers to dump their lacking proprietary platforms in favor of Android/iOS
Try using libguestfs to isolate you from the drive:

guestfish -a /dev/sdX
><fs> run
><fs> list-filesystems
/dev/sda1
><fs> mount /dev/sda1 /

Libguestfs runs a tiny appliance containing a separate kernel and (if your host supports it) protects that in an LXC container and with SELinux. In any case it would be extremely difficult for a malformed filesystem to exploit the guest kernel, and escape from virtualization, SELinux and LXC to attack the host.

Note this doesn't help if your OS "helpfully" mounts the disk when you plug it in.

> The spokesman said an Air Force investigation established the troubles began with the failure of the navigation guidance unit inside the missile. That is not unusual, he said, because the guidance units have a finite life and must be replaced periodically.

There must be more to it than that... "Fire!" "Err, Sir, the guidance unit has just indicated it needs to be replaced"
Such games should not be classified as free..
I'm hoping that there will be some kind of common standard that car manufacturers can adopt (wrt interacting with mobile devices). That way, users of both platforms can fully enjoy their vehicles.
Are Candy Crush and PvZ 2 Free? I've been playing them for 4+ months and haven't spent a dime on them. Other than the bandwidth to download them, I would certainly consider them free.

"Disprovable" in the sense that's how it looks on paper, but like you may know the USA "Department of Health and Human Services" is extremely corrupted and most of it is wasted thanks to an overpriced health system. Many European countries suffer as well from corruption in this area but USA levels of corruption are still unmatched (http://epianalysis.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/usversuseurope/)
Ironic, isn't it, that humane treatment is reserved for non-humans.
That title is utterly wrong - the article is about ideological opposition to environmental legislation, not climate change. None of the parties - the think tank or Cook - even mentioned it, at least not in the quotes in the article.

I guess it's easier to use the "deniers" label to shut down discussion on environmental legislation, though. Sloppy, and not worthy of an upvote on HN.
From my own personal experiences, my best advice is to keep a positive attitude at work.
This sounds like a parenting problem, not a legal problem.
I wish Apple would self-regulate instead of waiting for the government to do this for them.
Looks like there is going to a divide in the car companies. BMW and some others are adopting Android I believe. Wish it weren't like this but looks inevitable with deeper integration.
It would be interesting if one could differentiate between playable games, and in game purchases are "fun", versus games that are unplayable in the 'free' mode without purchasing additional tokens. Its the latter that people really hate.

Everybody who doesn't have children, read the parent post!

Most children will go through a phase where they throw tantrums. Different children have different needs, but for some you just have to let them kick and sream themselves to the realization that it doesn't get them anywere.

So while it might be unfortunate that this interrupts your afternoon shopping, it is no reason to walk over to the parent an lecture them on what they should or shouldn't do, or better yet, tell them they should be ashamed of themselves!

It's not like the parent is having fun or being even remotely not uncomfortable while it happens.
since this is still dependent on a ios mobile device (which is good) i hope there will be something similar for android. However i fear car manufacturers will instead use Android to completely replace their own systems which would lock out users of other platforms
And like I implied in my last comment, a lot more of what Apple does relies on the consent of its stakeholders than what governments do.

There's a tragic irony in the fact that government routinely uses supposed consent to justify violence, while Apple (as far as I know, although shady stuff might happen from time to time) actually obtains consent from its stakeholders.

Apple doesn't have to go around telling everyone "It's okay that we take your money in exchange for our products, because you actively consent to the exchange," because everyone knows that's how it works. And yet government, which plainly doesn't work that way, is the one that hammers into our heads the lie that the exchange is consensual. It would be laughable, except that so many people actually get fooled.
> I wonder if in the world of technology it makes sense to retain a demotivated employee?

It absolutely does. The nature of tech work practically demands that every employee develop intimate knowledge of the very specific domain his work touches. It takes so long for new hires to become productive that in most cases the bottom line begs you to hold on to anyone who already has that intimate knowledge.

On the other hand, keeping a tech employee motivated often looks like a fool's game to management. If he's good at what he does, he doesn't see the world the same way as they do. If you're a growth-oriented engineer, it makes sense for you to bounce around different companies so as to maintain a sense of movement and there's not much your employer can do to "maintain your sense of movement" because it's a completely alien concept to them and often presents as "unnecessary shit that will cost time and money and be risky". Your career goals will often clash hard against your company's needs.

End result? This situation where top talent sinks collude to reduce their engineers' inherent negotiating advantage. This practice would be widespread, if only technology weren't such a wide field that any engineer with any desire at all for something better can very quickly find something. It only happened at the top level because that's the only circle in which there is no more upward mobility except among the same cloistered few.

I was really just asking for a couple of short examples of scripts that demonstrate your point, based on Perl as it is now, not anything regarding its history.
The conclusion is, that if you want to make money, you probably don't want to think of yourself as a customer, especially if you're such an outlier.

You want to think about what 'normal' people do, and like. Because there's a hell of a lot more of them.

Of course you can have success with a niche product catering to minorities, but it's a lot easier to just make something most people want.
In Python the actual features that implement that would be metaclasses and descriptors.
One reason may be to verify what territory the user is from in order to match it to the developer's permissions. If you have an app that is released only in the U.S. for whatever technical, business, or IP reasons, it would be matched against the downloading user's registered territory (as opposed to current location), which obviously requires a logged-in state.

[update] also would help the app store keep track of apps a user already has downloaded.
Huh?

This isn't breaking news. It's just the latest development in an old and ongoing story.
Apparently Candy Crush actually gets harder after you pay, because you've marked yourself as a sucker by paying once.
By "native MOP" I really mean things like Python's metaclasses and descriptors (and whatever Ruby's equivalents are called), as opposed to an add-on library to simulate them like Moose.
In general you'd just write `#[deriving(Freeze)]`, and you can write things like `#[deriving(Freeze, Send)]` to derive multiple traits. Part of the proposal is to add a warning if you don't derive all the traits you were allowed to, unless you opt out. That way you always have to write in the code what you're allowed to do with a type, and the compiler checks that.
The nation I'm a citizen of has a government that renews the consent of the government on a regular basis with free, fair, universal elections. I'm sorry if you don't live in such a country. The guillotine is a traditional remedy for that.

Apple doesn't have to do that because we don't rely on it to safeguard our life, liberty, and property. If it disappeared tomorrow the economy would take a hit but life would go on.
Doubtful.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to?

> Why would you say that?

It helps you strip out code that isn't related to the DSL. For example, the mechanisms of class definitions in things like MongoEngine or Django's ORM. You end up with something that looks a lot more declarative.
I'm glad I'm not the only one there. Although some apps a quick search will show that it's worth it (Paper by 53 comes to mind).

Which is something I find interesting: people talk about "discovery" and reviews of apps being difficult. You're on a device that's sole purpose is internet connectivity! Use the browser, Luke!
King is like Zynga - eventually, their whales will migrate or die off and the company prospectus for investors will be weak or damaged.

Not that I don't think Apple should take a step to call out their "free" games that happen to rake in tons of cash - when their top grossing list has mostly "free" games, that's a big sign that "free ain't free".

Many good games have reasonable iAP (e.g.: Carcassonne, Ascension). As soon as I see any tokens, I don't buy it.
When was it not OK to openly curse on blog posts? Blog posts are from the mass of individuals, and may contain literally anything. Why would "not just people in IT" matter...?

This is something that should be pretty simple to test. Do you have any more details?
Ask HN: Do you need Karma to upvote?
My friend posted an article to HN and asked me to upvote it. I did, but my upvote never counted. Several other people upvoted also, but their votes didn't count either. I didn't find anything in HN Faq or other places on internet about requiring you to have Karma to upvote.

How much Karma do you need for your vote to count?

Also it is a bit confusing to have "upvote" button available if upvoting is not enabled for you. Would be nice to have it disabled or show an alert that you haven't met a certain requirement to be able to upvote.
And this is why TypeScript is 1-2% of the market? Check out GitHub and the rest of the community outside of your workplace or whatever place you are seeing this trend, because the numbers are not showing this. Even search terms of google trends http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F02p97%2C%20typ... shows the term JS is more popular than TypeScript. Also look at twitter and what the great developers of JS are doing; not TS. TypeScript has now tied you to an IDE on some OS (Windows) even if developing on a Unix based server. When you can simply edit JS from a half-gig box using vi if you needed, and do some awesome code. I just don't buy the idea no matter how much Microsoft throws at it, same with dart or any company backed layer over JS.
Hey Just2n,

Thanks for the JS Fiddle. It was the basis for my chrome extension, which your fiddle greatly expedited.

IMHO, the type of person who installs adblock isn't the type of person you can sell things to easily. They're decidedly anti-mainstream, anti-corporate, probably not particularly rich, etc.

So it's not just a matter of convincing their userbase to stop blocking ads, you'd need to tell their current userbase to go away, and invite a better userbase to come and click on ads.

Reddit created this problem by fostering a culture of anti advertising early on.

Reddit should probably just become some non-profit foundation like wikipedia and show begging adverts.

I don't see how unless you have some third party reviewing each game.
I think that more than 1% of startups dish out equity/options, an incentive to perform well, and the impact of your work at a startup is immediately visible -- there's a tight reward feedback loop when the work you're doing helps the startup grow, is actionable, and increases its value (and the value of your equity). On the other hand, the big corporations are the ones with no incentives to perform well.

At least they explicitly admit there are Hungary and South Korea outliers.
Unfortunately, most people aren't even that sophisticated. The average user isn't going to be able to differentiate between a free game and one designed to pry their wallets open.

I don't know if the solution to that is regulation, but it can't be reliance on the uninformed to know what's good for them. The exploitative industry moves faster than any but the most well-informed and most jaded.
FWIW, It's trivial to detect adblock and degrade the users experience. It's also trivial to get around adblock and show the user adverts.

If adblock usage ever became mainstream, it'd become an arms war which advertisers would win.
If memory serves, Edward Snowden was a government DoD and intelligence contractor.

I wouldn't say it suggests partisanship, though it does raise the flag and wave it around a little bit.
Okay. But how do you define someone as being a scientist?
Some of these are reasonable protections, but I wonder if there's that many offenders -- are there really apps that don't follow "in-app purchases should not be made without the consumer's explicit consent?" I don't have an iPhone, but in Android you have to go through a Google Play dialogue to authorize any IAPs I've made.

Some, though, seem rather ineffectual. If the App Store and Google Play replace the button that says "Free" with one that says something else, and the game still doesn't cost anything up-front, is that really going to change anyone's behavior?

Nobody alive today has ever consented to government. There is no negotiation. "Consent of the governed" is sophistry.
I'd say methods should be small enough so that their intent is clear. Usually it means that methods should have exactly one responsibility, otherwise they seem bloated.
They're not a pain to most people though. That's the point.

If I buy a car magazine, guess what... it has some adverts for cars and car related products. Some of which are interesting and useful to me.
And at the same time doing what Java did, abstracting away what is under the hood, so when something brakes. SOL. But this might be good, keep JS for the Pro's and TS for the Joe's?
> What more do you want?

People want clarity of information.

You keep saying that the price is listed. But IAPs are hidden behind an extra click. This might seem trivial to you but it is the kind of thing that the EU regulates and most citizens are pleased they do so.

Take another example. In the UK if you're a business marketing to the public and you advertise goods you must include the VAT in the advertised price. The end user almost always has to pay the VAT so it's nonsensical to advertise a product to the public without it.

Today Apple has a featured game which they call free. You click it to get to the game page and it is listed at free+. You scroll down and click IAPs and see that they offer an IAP for £34.99 - that's $58

Apple scoops up a lot of the IAP money and so it is in their interest to push games with IAPs, and it is dishonest of them to push games as free if those games are not truly free.

It is this dishonest advertising model that has driven app prices to such a low point. Someone honestly advertising a game at £5 is going to struggle to make any money.
Yes, you do. But that's not arduous.

> Yeah, not even the same thing.

That's not a helpful response. If you want to disagree - why is this different?

It makes sense to me for 'free' to mean 'free forever'. You could call it 'free to download' or whatever. Its basically false or misleading advertising to call something 'free' which you could end up paying for...
Yes, the title of the post on HN is now changed, but the url of the original post still refers to them as "obscure" tools.

Could just be that the people installing AdBlock don't like being distracted by multitudes of flashing popover and automatically playing videos. I doubt it's anything to do with being anti-mainstream or anti-corporate.
Man that mockup image reminded me how much I wish Apple would just go back to using Google Maps...
Ascribing a single axis analysis to any complex phenomenon is almost certainly a gross oversimplification.

Government can be ascribed a number of properties: overall effectiveness or strength, degree of representation, succession, governing principles, balance of powers (among branches, population sectors, business / religion / laity, etc.), and other factors.

There are also dynamics suggesting that the level of complexity of society is contingent on the resources available to it. Including the freedoms of its government.

That said: the video is fair. Not great.
All things being equal, I'd like it if Apple provided these numbers to shareholders/the public.

I support Apple continuing to participate in these programs, but giving shareholders accurate numbers seems like a worthy goal, and I'd actually like to know the scale of Apple's investment in green energy as a benchmark for how far along the green energy industry is coming -- if it's a 100% markup, it's got a long way to go, but 25-50% wouldn't be too bad.

In Greece you can buy newspapers (paper or digital). You'll see ads from banks, drinks and state-owned organizations (Lottery games, etc.). So basically they are financed from the very same people they should be exposing, that's why in 40 years of bank-state back-channeling and corruption no one has ever been seriously exposed. Not to mention that freedom press in Greece 84th between Togo and Kosovo. Note that USA is 32 and UK is 29, not exactly freedom champions. It's not because they kill journalists, they fire them :-)

Interpreting The Subtle Differences Between Article Writing And Blogging
I understand and agree with the idea that companies should maximise shareholder value, but I've never understood the argument that shareholder value is exclusively determined by profit. As I see it, the stock market consists of various firms saying "buy our stock, and we will try to achieve X with your investment", where X might be maximum ROI, but I don't understand why it has to be. If I want to found a company which has some goals other than making a profit, and so long as I am explicit about this then nobody is being cheated or defrauded, the investors are getting exactly what they signed up for.

If Tim Cook widely announces what Apple's future philanthropic principles will be, he's giving everyone a chance to decide if they want to own stock in a company which follows those principles. The market will judge that via sales and purchases of Apple stock. What could possibly be more free-market than that?
