On mac we have fluid to generate an app that can be used as a site specific browser - http://fluidapp.com/

Is there an android equivalent of this ?

It's better to be able to start from a clean slate in the future while still being able to support legacy versions if it is advantageous to do so. You are not smart enough to do it right the first time, because you cannot predict what changing conditions the future will bring.
I wouldn't worry too much about the cost of parsing. I'd be a lot more concerned about APIs that rely on proxy and UA caches for performance and/or scaling.

A request has a much better chance of getting cached reliably if all the important semantics are in the path than if they're in arbitrarily-ordered querystring args or headers. Squid's default config didn't cache anything with a querystring up through v3. OldIE wouldn't cache an uncompressed response with any Vary headers. I suspect there are landmines like this buried all over the place.

Suddenly you don't have confidence in the balances due to a bug. How do you resolve it?

That is why you have ledgers. Being able to go back and "replay" step by step how you got where you are makes all the difference when you run into stupid bugs. And you will run into stupid bugs.

That you're dealing with a brand new service that has not been battle-tested for years is yet another reason why you want a ledger and proper reconciliation rather than relying on a running balance.

Fine. Your skills give you the power, with a little effort, to invade someone's privacy.

Because he's famous, you're more likely to pick on him.

A journalist has the ability to take that to a whole new level by really shining a spotlight on it.

Just because it's easy doesn't make it right.
From the about section, it seems like it is some unfortunate name collision (or I missed something).
No, you quit being so insensitive. I hope you never have to suffer a similar attack on whatever you consider most important in your life.
It's not meant to be a precise definition as most food is "processed" in some way. Rather it is a reaction against the excessive, unnecessary processing that is basically taken for granted, and everything that goes with it: pasteurization, hydrogenation of fats, ammoniated "beef," "meaty" foods†, GMO, high sodium content, high pesticide content, synthetic estrogens leaching from plastics, decreased nutritional content, rancidity, hormones, dyes, synthetic preservatives, etc., etc., etc.

People who are more conscious of the hyperbole often prefer the term "minimally processed."

† There are legal requirements for what percent of a meat needs to be present to be a considered meat, thus we get things like "beefy tacos" which contain a meat-like product with so much filler they do not meet the already low standards of what the USDA considers to be meat.
If I may: first, your tone is a bit off.

More importantly, ‘doxx’ing covers two situations:

* bad individual actors (disrespect in a public space, violence against weaker beings) where the outrage is the motivator; it is often wrong to make those information public, and the investigation should rapidly fold and forward its conclusion to law enforcement; it's not journalism, or gutter-journalism at best, and even low-level rags do it properly;

* people with significant impact, but whose role requires anonymity (or rather: empathic pseudonymous steganography): leakers, etc. Revealing their motivation but not their identity is good journalism. I agree that in Satoshi Nakamoto’s case, revealing details about his life adresses key issues (BitCoin public image; the incredible dedication of so many, humility and gender-role in technical fields) against his will. This article, hopefully will take away the unwanted attention from his back, focus BitCoin as an open-source project with contributors, and a product-vision that was grown/twisted by Andersen’s more clear and open views.

However, there is a word that is morally loaded and useful to describe the irresponsible behaviour of 4chan and ‘Flesh search engines’. It’s distinct from good journalism. This article is the later, not the former -- but it’s very much on the edge. The journalist could easily have avoided mentioning the location, or said that the name was a pseudonym or a mispelling.
This dude lives in this town and has $400M of untraceable currency?

It isn't untraceable, and by consensus the Bitcoin community could de-list all of the origin block mining outputs. Alternately the creator could simply say that he deleted the private keys, which it seems likely that he probably did. They have always hung like a stench over the currency, people wary that one person holds so much of the reserves, with the ability to collapse the market completely at any time.

I don't quite get the outrage about this article. He used his real name on the original paper, and he did something famous. That makes people look for him.

The article sounds like it makes some leaps, however. He worked in shadowy areas, so that is proof that he is the original author? Where is the actual proof beyond innuendo? Someone tacitly saying "it is me" can as likely be someone looking for a little excitement and attention. It's also weird that he refuses to talk, but then his children are gregarious about it.
This is not constructive, and extremely naive.

Journalism exists in part to put the powerful under the microscope. They have many more resources to hide their activities and to defend their interests than average folks, and don't need to be protected from public scrutiny.

I'm wondering if there are better statistical tools to deal with it today.

Which is fine as long as you aren't planning to change your product at all.

Yes, you can try and put it off for as long as possible, only making backwards compatible changes. But it's likely at some point you'll need to change something in your API, that simply won't work with existing clients.
I hear you can get a shot for that from the doctor.
His identity was revealed the moment he put his actual full name to the paper though :/ I would has sympathy if he actually did use a pseudonym, but assuming this is true then what did he really expect would happen?
Don't forget that it is not easy to remove confounding with smoking, drinking, low physical activity etc. as, incidentally, those who eat most meat happen to also score worse with those factors. Of course, there are statistical methods, but there are reasons to believe that not all confounding may be properly removed.

For those interested in statistics behind studies like this, I think this (not very long) video is a good explanation why it is not so easy to remove all residual confounding:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hnWaNThBFw

The lector actually discusses a very similar or even the same study - mortality as a function of meat consumption. Not too complicated for a technical person even without a background in statistics, I believe.

Neither you nor I have the legal experience to really determine if there is no need. What constitutes an "advertisement"? If I am a security consultant and I develop a no-cost open source tool using OpenSSL, and I do it deliberately as a way to get my name out into the field and find clients, then is that advertising?

What constitutes "mentioning features of this software"? If I use another package for SSL and advertise that my software has SSL support, but have OpenSSL in my code for other reasons (let's say, the SHA-1 digest code), then do I need to mention OpenSSL? After all, SSL is a supposed feature of OpenSSL.

No, it's not as bad as I make it out to be, but that's in large part because we are generally lazy when it comes to the particulars of licenses. Just look at the number of GPLv2 software distributions which don't follow the letter of the license. (Section 3 assumes physical distribution, not network. GPLv3 clarified this problem.)

It's also because license holders are lazy. Enforcing the GPL takes a lot of time and effort. Many violations occur because few actively enforce the license.

If your expectations are based on what people do in a lazy world, then you are perhaps a realist (or a cynic), but it still violates the license.

The "pages and pages of advertisement clauses" affects only to those who actually follow the license. These might be nitpickers like me, or organizations with lots of money and who are easy pickings and worried about liability.

These also happen to be the people who are likely to give acknowledgements, especially when the license so requires it (as the GPL does).

That's easy - bitcoin isn't and never was about "privacy". It was about defeating that supposedly-horrible "fiat money" and the associated inflation. It's always been more about escaping government-backed money. From the very beginning, when selling the idea of bitcoin, the true believers praised the lack of regulation and how your money wouldn't lose its value over time. Privacy was secondary, if mentioned at all.

I suspect the Silk Road connection is what popularized the idea of a public ledger somehow providing privacy.

Doxxing the guy is not nice.

With this out of the way, maybe cryptocurrency can focus attention on leveling up protocols and systems to improve utility. When bitcoin becomes the Friendster of cryptocurrency, Satoshi won't matter, just the disruptive ideas around our proxies for value and the new tools and power that can be used in positive ways to help improve the lot for all humans.

People want the confidence that they are able to securely accrue and employ the value of their efforts and wisdom to improve their standard of living. The values of the mainstream of humanity will determine the fate of this stuff. The current level of technical acumen required to handle and secure most any crypto$ is too high for them right now.

It's time to level up.

Leah McGrath Goodman talks about "The Face of Bitcoin" [video]
I'm interested if anyone has experience of agent-based programming languages.
Honest question: it seems like Nakamoto wanted to keep his identity secret. If that's true, then why did he reveal so much information (by implying that he was part of Bitcoin) and allow a photo of him to be taken, instead of saying "I have no relation to Bitcoin"? It doesn't add up.
I'll probably be slammed for this, but I actually think it's a pretty good piece. Maybe it could do without the picture of Satoshi's house, but it probably wouldn't be so hard to find the house anyway if you know you're looking for an actual "Satoshi Nakamoto in Temple City".

If the dude hadn't used his real name, we'd probably still be wondering who he is. So I think the indignation is a bit misplaced. It's not at all uncommon or nefarious for news reports to be written about people who don't particularly want the coverage.

I think what people are saying is that this concept has already been started by many companies already. It's just another take on a model that people who've tried QS for awhile already understand it's not the right solution.

I had gotten into QS for a bit, but as others have said, once you start to use the products and follow the methodology, you start to see how what sounds great in theory doesn't work so well in practice.

That said, I hope they do well, because, why not. I just know that this isn't as interesting to me as it would have been 6 months ago, having some experience in the space.
"I did it, it's totally possible, I'm not going to support this claim at all but I assure you it's true."

It would be far more convincing if you actually skimmed the NY Reagents test and presented a teaching strategy which you believe would raise scores but not increase understanding.

Note that if such a strategy does not exist for the NY test but does exist for every other test, then we have a solution to all the complaints about testing - use the NY test for everyone.
> I wonder if Leah McGrath Goodman would like photos of her home published

Nobody at Google Street View, which cheerfully publishes pictures of millions of peoples' homes without consent or even notification, appears to have ever wondered that.
Goodman writes: "Two weeks before our meeting in Temple City, I struck up an email correspondence with Satoshi Nakamoto, mostly discussing his interest in upgrading and modifying model steam trains with computer-aided design technologies. I obtained Nakamoto's email through a company he buys model trains from." This is so sneaky and sad.
Did I do anything of note that would make any of this information interesting to the public? I think I did not. If you want to put the work in and find all that out you are free to.

I never once said that everyone should actually provide journalists with that information just like that. They still have to put the work in. Do that if you want to, but I don’t think you will find anything interesting.

"processed food" is generally intended to be less an exact term and more a proxy for "mass-produced food that has been engineered to cost little, last long, and taste good".

Enriching foods with vitamins is generally considered a form of "processing" (i.e. potentially "bad") because we may not fully understand the way our bodies digest the 'original' food with all of its nutrients, compared to whatever nutrients we've managed to discover to put back in whatever is lost in processing. In the case of orange juice, processing may lose vitamins and fiber, and even if we put the vitamins back in, that doesn't guarantee the body would absorb them the same way it would if it ingested the vitamins and fiber together (may not be exactly accurate in this example, but that's my general understanding of the difference)

Well, I can't see how its against HN rules to post it. Her email is lmcgrathgoodman (at) gmail (dot) com. Thats the email she posts on the contact section of her own website (http://leahmcgrathgoodman.com/).

To be clear, I am not encouraging anyone send her abusive emails, or anything that might be illegal. I am simply posting her contact details in the context of people wanting to tell her what they felt about this article. She is an investigative journalist who is no stranger to courting trouble. She managed to get herself thrown out of the UK apparently for asking too many questions.

I very much doubt that will do anything though. If you really felt that this article needed to be pulled/modified, you're probably better off contacting someone from Newsweek. http://mediakit.newsweekdailybeast.com/contact.html

But this seems to be their lead story. And they are getting all this extra publicity and page views because of it. So unless Satoshi or his family brings a court case I don't see why they would.

This is brilliant. Essentially the entire line of iOS devices up to this point have been loss leaders for building an entrenched advertising system - but without the loss!

I can see it going a lot of ways.

"iPhone 6: $400.00. iPhone 6 with no ads $600.00."

"Pay only pennies a day to skip ads."

"Apple: Pay up advertiser, we showed your ad 1 gajillion times. Advertiser: Show me the numbers! Apple: Here's some we made up." Works for Facebook.

"Put yourself in an ad for your favorite product. Take a selfie with this app!" iAds + JibJab.

Of course, you could always just install an app that disables... Ahhh, Apple owns the app store, too.

> The X-to-Javascript tools work best if the language actively embraces the Javascript roots

I don't think this is true. X-to-Javascript tools work best when they are well-designed to fit both the norms of the original language and to solve the problems of building user interfaces. JavaScript does that, so embracing JS gets you lots of libraries, patterns, and design experience for free.

But it's also possible to create good designs in other ways. I'm quite fond of ClojureScript, with its immutable data and pure functions. But using it with the mutable DOM patterns forced me to choose between speed and writing idiomatic Clojure. Now that we have ReactJS, I can write my interface as a mostly-pure function over data, and have React do the heavy lifting of figuring out how to update the DOM quickly.

This was a much longer route to get to a good design, but I think it's a much nicer way to build web UIs.

The problem with Scala.js is it doesn't seem to have this same level of design inspiration. It has the nice parts of Scala, and the warts of the DOM, and the two don't even fit together the way that JS fits the DOM.
