Because they have to pretend DRM works.

(They know it's a lie, they have to pretend it isn't. There's basically an eternal free-floating culture war in the BBC between the sort of people who think DRM works and the sort of people who think it doesn't. The BBC is a ridiculously non-monolithic entity.)

Ask HN: How would you design your ideal incubator?

Sure. But having hours and hours to notice a malfunction really cuts down on the dangers. I guess the biggest problem is that infirm people would tend to fall into the group least likely to wake up from the high temperature (sleeping being the only time I can imagine the malfunction being hugely dangerous).
I can give my take on the bakery idea. I worked at a
Bagel shop for a little over a year. It was a horrid job;
but I think my emotionally stunted, wacko, sexually frustrated boss made it worse than it really was? If
you took that waste of space Boss out of the question, running a bakery might be a good move. 1. If you are
not a morning person--forget about it. Getting up at 3:30 a.m. is something beyond jarring, especially if you are
a night owl. 2. Look for a long term lease. 3. Buy
all used equipment. 3. Keep your prices low. 4. Give
away product--get your name out there; product ingredients
are dirt cheap(Sysco). 5. This next line of advise is
more important than the rest. Treat your employees like
you would like to be treated. Your average employee will
most likely be young, strong, and a hard working--if treated
right. If you treat them right--you won't need to put two
hidden cams over the registers and back door. You sound
like a nice guy, so I don't think being nice will be hard.
I would be interested in opening a bagel shop in the Bay Area. I have all the recipes, and working knowledge, and some cash to invest. Respond to this post if you want to

(If Roger ever reads this; you were my boss and treated me
horrid. I'm not quite sure what I did, but I think you

me. Your attitude helped pay off my student loan--thanks!)

Its similar to the USPO comment at the end of the 19C - "Everything that can be invented has been invented". With that attitude you will sink your billions into anything - but this shows there is always scope (#) for invention and innovation.

I feel like any "X is bullshit" post that doesn't start out with a definition of X or Y or Z is just a glorified troll. Half this thread is going to be people either identifying with or attacking the straw man that's posed but isn't really defined well.

Even among people who run accelerators, incubators, and other types of programs, there is a lot of debate over where the lines begin, end, etc.

Instead of saying "incubators are bullshit" why not just saying "Doing bullshit is bullshit" since that seems to be the actual point of this post. Don't do unproductive stuff that doesn't actually advance your startup. Great. That advice is just as appropriate for outside of incubator people as those within an incubator.

For example, while reading this article I just kept getting distracted from the actual main point - many incubators just provide low cost office space. Is that bullshit? Many incubators aren't actually accelerators like the author seems to confuse the term with. Is that bullshit?

I remember reading an article from the New Yorker where they talked about making fun of wannabe authors who just sit around and do everything that authors are supposed to do except write. They called this "writering" and it seems like the author is trying to say the same thing about "startuping". Good. But that problem will always exist, regardless of whatever incubator you're in or not in.

So maybe we should focus on the actual problem instead of just blasting a straw man, hoping for clicks?

Bitcoins: The Dubious Promise Of Digital Currency
I find quality in-ear headphones extremely revealing of poor quality output. Shure e5c, to pick an older set that I own, are especially unforgiving of noisy output stages and cross-coupled interference. The additional acoustic isolation really helps your brain focus on the audio by cutting out the masking effects of environmental noise. This isn't always a good thing.

For example, the Cowon S9 audio player was supposedly designed for high output quality, with a pile of DSP presets for EQ etc. With the e5c's you can really hear the poor quality processing of the EQ, especially on reverb tails. Have to turn the EQ off completely to eliminate them.

I've noticed while traveling that American English is actually rather difficult to understand. My slurmumbling west coast accent with no consonants or spaces between words is basically undecipherable in a lot of places.

So I pull out my Cheesy Irish Accent. That thing works wonders. Words all start with a capital letter, and have gaps between them. You speak louder and more decisively. It's really the perfect form of speech, apart from the embarrassment of having other native English speakers (or god forbid Irishmen) hear you do it. And you get to talk like a Pirate. What's not to love?

The idea is that those utilities work in the UNIX way, which means that they are line-oriented.

The following two xml documents are equivalent:

<a><b><c /></b><d>foo</d></a>

and

<a>
<b> <c /> </b>
<d>foo</d>
</a>

But to understand that using classical UNIX tools which are line-oriented is quite difficult, so you'll have a hard time doing operations such as "replace 'foo' by 'bar' if it appears as the textNode of a 'd' tag".

So the idea of hxpipe is that it is supposed to give you a line-oriented and similar representation of those two documents to work with.

But it actually fails to do that properly (at least for my taste). I largely prefer the output of xml2. Compare:

# first doc, output of hxpipe
(a
(b
|c
)b
(d
-foo
)d
)a
-\n

# second doc, output of hxpipe
(a
-\n
(b
-
|c
-
)b
-\n
(d
-foo
)d
-\n
)a
-\n

# output of xml2, for both documents
/a/b/c
/a/d=foo

Thank you for a defence there.

I do think the word "Agile" is getting over-loaded (I recently had an talk with some folks at the GDS and it went sideways when we did not realise we meant different things). So the manifesto is useful just as a common reference point.

I am also glad someone else is saying "hey sticky notes and paper may not be so useful in a remote working world".

Admittedly I do love the methodology he espouses

What to do:

Find out where you are
Take a small step towards your goal
Adjust your understanding based on what you learned
Repeat

How to do it:

If it's under a microscope slide cover then you're pretty safe - the fluid is sandwiched between the slide & the cover and isn't going to go anywhere.

(You don't normally try and image free standing droplets that could run off for a couple of reasons: Except for the clearest liquids they'd be too optically thick to see anything useful and you'd have problems focusing on objects that can move in the z direction as well as laterally with respect to the lens.)
That should be pretty easy to demonstrate by feeding the output back into a decent 16-bit soundcard - the noise floor should reveal any dithering going on (and if there's no dithering it will be painfully obvious that there's only 2048 discrete output values...)

I might have a go tonight.
Try http://subtitlesapp.com, it downloads subtitles by looking at the movie hash, so it gets perfectly synced subs 99% of the time.
Objective-C on Android without Apportable: Porting Sorcery
To announce a big new release and announce vaguely that subtitle support for iOS and Android downloads is still "coming soon" is a massive kick in the teeth. At this point they should at least be able to give us an ETA.

What is it that makes it harder to support subtitles in downloads rather than streaming? I suppose I can see that with streaming you can serve up subtitled or non-subtitled streams according to user preference, but iOS has native support for subtitles in video.

Is this some kind of crappy contractual/rights-holder thing, where "mobile devices" have to be negotiated separately?
Ask HN: What projects you use C on?
I would be interested to hear from people programming in C what projects you are working on and why C is the preferred language for your project compared to alternatives (e.g. C++/D/Go/...).

I would like to know what drives new projects to choose C over other similar languages and for what types of projects C is still the right choice.

If you choose to answer, could you please give exact examples instead of identifying broad areas such as embedded software or operating systems.
This is quite true, which is why we now have to optimize the rather obnoxious measure of ratio between average salary and average house cost. That is, the tradeoff isn't perfectly linear, but going towards either the cheapest land or the highest salaries doesn't reach the optimal point on the map. It ends up being counterintuitive, data-intensive, and bizarre to figure out what really works.
Why don't you like paying people to sue you?

That's basically what it boils down to you jump through a lot of hoops in an attempt to get it legally they take your money accuse you of piracy and sue you.
Blender is a 3D computer graphics, and video editing is just one of its many features, its hard to learn Blender just to edit a video. A video editing software should be easier to use and have more features.
This is pretty much Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's original microscope design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leeuwenhoek_Microscope.png ) using modern materials. So in that sense, it has already been invented!

Which doesn't mean that it's not worthwhile & important of course: the reapplication of old technologies can lead to great things.
Many thanks for the detailed reply. That makes a lot of sense.
If you're not doing it get in the habit of using kbd shortcuts for tab navigation. Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab.
Makes navigating a window with a lot of tabs much easier.
Close tabs with Ctrl-W. I never really touch the tab bar with my mouse, so it's not a huge issue.
Chrome also has Ctrl-1,2,3,4,5,6 etc for quick jumps.
And just press Ctrl-Shift-W once in a while (-;
It looks like the P5 header that it uses was only added in rev2, and "intended to be a suitable attachment point for ... audio codec boards"[1].

Well, there are probably between 1.5-2 billion mobile devices that don't run Flash, and we'll probably see another billion over the next two years. I don't bother to install Flash on my desktop, I just use Chrome when I need it.
Yes, looks like it. The default symbol lookup can be really slow in some situations, especially in large C++ projects with can contain many symbols that share a long common prefix thanks to C++ name mangling.
That's just because the way to complain is built-in. Google can do whatever stupid thing they want to Gmail's UX with way less complaints - because what will you do, write an e-mail about it? :)

Also because the average Facebook user is not really computer literate, and such an user develops UI eidetic memory rather than functionality thinking - so moving a button leaves them clueless.
If you had identical (very close) interfaces to the same content. It then becomes a moral choice.

Currently I'm more satisfied with the illegal offerings, I've tried a subscription service: Lovefilm (which isn't amphibious), and look at many of my DVD boxsets, that have no value added content whatsoever.

I have three seasons of very poor quality Star Trek episodes on DVD. Now I think the studios owe me a better quality version. Which I don't think I should pay for. In my mind you should just pay for the license to watch, listen, read... and it doesn't really matter about the medium of delivery.

Google pretty much Broke The Web with Chrome 33. It shipped a bug that skips rendering Web Fonts until you force a DOM repaint. That means that roughly half the sites in existence will, from time time to time, load up with absolutely no visible text.

The fix will ship in a few weeks with Chrome 35. Until then, get used to refreshing a lot.
Improving Speech Recognition in the Browser
So of course, you'll never see the Agile/Scrum implementations that are successful.
If you're running on a server with 1Gbps, then yes - it can be an issue. Another issue (I'm going to add a section on it) is that you can peg the CPU at 100% very easily. Parsing HTML / Running xPaths uses a lot of CPU, so if you're running a good number of threads this can quickly become a problem.

Does the use of XML make error recovery from a partially borked file possible? Not really.

What problem is actually solved by XML (that other formats don't also "solve" ... and better?)
Sony and Panasonic Unveiled Archival Disc With 300GB Capacity
> You are aware that watching netflix outside of it's service area is piracy, right ?

I'm not so sure.

"Piracy" isn't a well defined legal term, so I'm guessing we're talking about copyright infringement here.

But US copyright primarily extends from US laws, which are hard to break if you're in a foreign jurisdiction.

Treaties like the TRIPS agreement extend copyright (and other IP) rules and enforcement to foreign jurisdictions, but it's not altogether clear that TRIPS would require every jurisdiction to prosecute someone who receives a stream from Netflix through an additional hop. (In fact, it obviously doesn't apply everywhere, as some jurisdictions give complete waivers to copyright infringement for personal use.)

More to the point, with streaming, it's not really clear the user has made any copy that would be required for the violation in most jurisdictions.

I don't know the situation in Italy, but it's at least not a foregone conclusion that using a VPN to watch Hulu or Netflix violates anything aside from a terms of service agreement. An unenforced TOS provision hardly has the same legal heft as copyright infringement (unless the CFAA is thrown at you, but that's a whole different animal...)
Depends. Multithreading is a common method nowadays despite sufficiently smart compilers not existing. It just requires someone who knows what they are doing, just like good multithreaded code.
It's an oversimplification, but the basic philosophical difference from my point of view is that Haskell values correctness above all and Clojure is above all pragmatic. I think all of these major differences in the languages are reflections of this:

- static vs. dynamic typing

- pure vs. allowing side effects

- native vs. hosted

- focus on syntax vs. rejection of syntax

Depending on the problem, you may get big benefits out of one side or the other.

One particular thing that is much easier in Clojure is dealing with heterogeneous, hierarchical data. This is just so effortless because of the combination of dynamic typing and the wonderful built-in persistent data structures. This is possible but takes a lot more work to do in Haskell and is much slower to iterate on when your data changes.
I tried to use this recently, but failed to make this. Probably my bad.

If oxygen masks don't deploy when cabin pressure falls enough to make the passengers unconscious, then what is their purpose? It's hard to believe they could have such a massive design fault. Is there no sensor that could detect the depressurization?
No, it actually doesn't mean that, because it's not "your" data to begin with. It's theirs.
I like that exercise and spend time with family part, emotional drain is cause for productivity lost, bad decisions. The basic definition of start up is to get it running, building everything all along, customers, product, technology, architecture, user experience, UI Design, re-iterate the learning and fine tune again and again. Mentor is not needed for technology advise or adding business value or evaluating user interface, instead a mentor helps to drive the startup crazy, throw the founders into kickboxing stage, let them fight and learn than learn and fight.

I wish they made more of the programme information with links. Imagine clicking on the presenter's name and getting a list of other programmes they had done. This would be a great way to find things to watch. The same could apply with production companies and so on. This would bring in some IMDB style functionality they could build on to sell downloads of programmes currently not available. They could even start to sell movies.
The original meaning of agile, the manifesto, was doing it right. The consultants jumped on the bandwagon and called themselves agile until it stuck. But I don't think the right response is to say agile is now bad, it's to reclaim the word from those who're misusing it.
I work on iPlayer. The new responsive design website will use the HTML5 + HLS player on iOS. Currently on Android and desktop we are using Flash + HDS/RTMP, but it's possible this will change in the future. The reason we are using Flash at the moment is partly to do with content protection (which involves negotiations with the content rights holder), and partly to do with the fact that there isn't a standard streaming mechanism across the different platforms we need to support. We would likely move to MPEG-DASH, for example, if it's more widely adopted across the platforms.

For sure, there would have been attempted radio contact etc that would have been heard by other flights. But I still believe if a sensitive area or large population area were threatened that they and many other countries would choose to bring the airliner down.

I would also be surprised if China did shoot the airliner down, that they would try and keep "a border incursion secret during this time", as it would surely come out.

In this case, I don't think China was involved in the loss of the airliner, but I thought others might find the history of the area interesting. I didn't know about the Russian SAR issue in the Korean airliner disaster.

I've got no experience with this, but isn't HTML5 video quite hard to do well? I hear a number of problems with YouTube's HTML5 player, whereas the Flash player works extremely well. I imagine that DRM is an issue, but performance and stability is another.

Also, isn't the iPlayer video loaded differently to most online video providers? If I remember correctly, they don't load the full video in the same way that the likes of YouTube does. Is that easily done with HTML5?
RCA? Isn't the RCA output for video only? I was referring to 3.5mm green audio output.

It's not just Sony. We have two LG TVs, one that's ~4 years old and one from last year. Funnily enough, the older one almost always works perfectly, the new one (a far more powerful/responsive TV, with a much newer version of the iPlayer software) barely works at all. We've complained to LG and were informed that 'a new version will be released shortly'.
