Nope. The "selling point" of Android is that it's free (as in no licensing costs). Carriers are still free to lock it down, and of course they do, complete with bootloader lock.

Personally I think bootloader locks on general-purpose computing hardware should be made outright illegal, regardless of whether the company would like to sell it as an "appliance".

Ask HN: Have you ever grown a hackathon project into a company?
I'm in a hackathon right now and the unexpected just happened:
Our team's project somehow transacted over $5,000 in one day.

We have very mixed feelings about this.

On one side it's a dream. On the other side, it's a "now what?" moment: Do we continue to grow NutFund.co or do we return to our jobs?

Has anyone in the HN community built a company out of a hackathon project?

Was it with the same team?

Did you drop your job and focus on it right away, or treat it as a side project for a while?

Any advice is highly appreciated, thank you from team NutFund.co
Did the main story about it get flagged off the front page? Spiteful. There were like 200+ comments.

It also talks about how after speaking to Nakamoto – who told him to leave him alone... Nakamoto's Son – who told him to leave him alone... and Nakamoto's Brother – who told him to leave him alone... The reporter still showed up at Nakamoto's home uninvited. And was surprised when the poor guy called the cops.

In the vast majority of cases, yes you do. I had to use an exploit to root my phone. When I lost it and insurance got me an identical phone, there had been a firmware update that patched the hole. Didn't update anything else, still the same outdated version of Android, I just couldn't root it. I still haven't been able to. It drives me mad.

My experience was the other way around Java => Perl, not liking it. I suppose people have different taste buds.

While there are (small) values that one can get out of Java => Perl, being dynamic and functional, your experience seems seasonal (hashes, maps, etc). I felt that these days if one wants to learn algorithms and data structure, Java Collection libraries and Guava seem to be the defining standard.

I don't disagree if one is learning Erlang to write scalable message queue coming from Rails. But I definitely disagree if one is learning another programming language and ended up coding the basic web-app, which seems to be the case these days.

No, you are confusing unit testing with TDD. Unit testing is just testing units of code. TDD is the religious practice adhered to by some followers of Agile that is a "design tool" where you write tests first. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development

>not for exposing nullpointer exceptions

If you are using a language primitive enough to have null pointer exceptions, then using unit tests to try to detect some of them is a perfectly reasonable thing.

One of our listed intern projects is exactly that. It's not a high priority project for the Daala team because we already have good royalty-free image codecs, but not video codecs. We have finite time, so we choose to attack what we see as the more important problem.

Developing a still image format from Daala is possible but not as trivial as it looks (the same can be said for the WebP work from WebM).

Anyone got an idea?
I think the author may be taking a misleading lesson away from these shows, because the businesses they focus on -- restaurants and bars, for instance -- are the sort of businesses people (mistakenly) think are glamorous and exciting, so they attract lots of clueless people. Many people daydream about quitting their job and owning a restaurant, mostly because they don't understand what owning a restaurant entails. They think instead that they have fun in restaurants, so running one would be even more fun; or that they like to cook for their family, so they'd like cooking on demand under time pressure for large numbers of strangers even more; and so on. They don't know what they're getting into until they've sunk their life savings into it.

It's a mistake, though, to assume that because these types of businesses attract dilettantes, that all types of businesses attract dilettantes. Once you get away from the "glamor" businesses, that happens much less. Nobody dreams of quitting their job and starting a waste management company; not unless they really care about waste management, at least. So it's not really a safe assumption that the ranks of small businesspeople are uniformly populated with flighty dilettantes.
Five Graphs Showing $TSLA Has Nowhere To Go But Up
Yeah, you are right. My thinking is a fallacy. Rationally, shrinking even a single program is "shrinking government".

But practically "shrinking government" is used to mean "shrinking the civilian parts of government".

> There is a legitimate case to be made that many people who would assert the need to shrink government in aggregate haven't actually considered things sufficiently and would not maintain that position if they considered things program by program,

This reminds me of an extended conversation I had with a local county politician who ran on a "shrink federal government" platform. I asked him what we should shrink. There are certainly parts of the federal government I'd be in favor of shrinking or cutting. He resisted, he wouldn't answer. I found a high level list of agencies and programs and asked him to run down the list and specify what his platform was.

He refused.

He'd get up and give a speech about the excesses of government and the deficit and all that. So I put together a list of what I'd like to see cut or what I thought would be okay to cut. I was able to provided a rough budget that cut the deficit in half and calculated out a small tax increase that would end the deficit and provide a small surplus that would simply be used to pay down the debt and then simply be returned as tax returns every year.

He refused.

Finally somebody pulled me aside and explained that he needed the support of the national party to help fund his campaign, and they hadn't publicly specified their platform for cuts yet. So he couldn't specify his support for specific cuts. Which meant the conversation never got beyond "shrink government" as a principle, but not any specifics.

A while later, the same national party put in place an across the board, every department gets the same cut, policy that for a while drove our news reporters to the brink of madness and was deeply deeply unpopular among much of the political spectrum.

So in terms of how the rhetoric "shrink government" gets transformed into specific policy actions, it seems that yes, cutting it across the board is not what's intended, but the hard work of establishing a specific platform hasn't been done yet...probably because intra-party politics means there's no consensus of what that should actually look like.

Ask HN: How to find a customer to build a new ERP product with?
I want to build an watered down version of an ERP, and need to find a customer who can walk me through their process in order to figure out what to build.

How can I go about finding potential clients, approaching them, and so on?

Last thing I want to do is to build something nobody wants or wanted, so I want to actually find out how I can find and work with a end user client and get paid for building the solution so that I can than sell it to other clients.

Also suggestions on some ERP software ideas I can be inspired by would be great, I'm just very lost with all these business languages surrounding enterprise software, wondering also what is a good learning resource to dive into this field.

OR do you think being a reseller for an established brand is a better option? Do any of these reseller programs have white label solutions?
Well it's too late to get any points for this inference now, but I'm going to claim that there was a strong clue that the author of the PDF was old: the bitcoin paper cites "An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications" by William Feller.

Where on earth did you find the "while everyone else is restricted to doing what I want them to do" part?

Libertarians who don't themselves do any drugs (eg, Penn Jillette) still want drugs to be legal for other people. Libertarians who are themselves pacifists still want gun ownership and self-defense to be legal. And so on. It seems to me that this view you think "falls apart" with so little thought doesn't have much to do with libertarianism.

> "For anyone who's tried to wire money overseas, you can see how much easier an international Bitcoin transaction is. It's just as easy as sending an email." -- Bitcoin's chief scientist, Gavin Andresen

No actually it's only as easy as Western Union is. You either have to take a huge cut due to localbitcoin or other markups for markets that avoid the normal route of... registering at an exchange, giving them all your details which will take weeks to months, whom will then place major limits on what you can transfer (no more than a $2k-$10k) and potentially crash burn and be robbed while you wait for your FIAT.

So actually it's like transferring money between two Western Union branches that are both in war zones and staffed with employees taken from the DMV.

Most DB systems will be tremendously helped by having far more RAM than that to cache, and also usually by having fewer nodes than you get when only having 20GB total disk space per node.

The main place where I could see this being appealing would be complex analytic jobs (since they're more CPU-intensive), but even so, if on 512MB nodes it has to spill to disk because there isn't enough RAM (or transmit a bunch of data across the network because it split the job over two nodes) and on a bigger machine it didn't need to, you probably would have been better off with the bigger machine.

> "Sure, publishing identifying information of people who did nothing special is unethical but that can hardly be said about Satoshi."

This is wrong on so many levels. Here is a guy who created arguably the largest financial innovation of the century and who only wants to be left to live a humble, private life instead of claiming his riches, and you think that a mass of curious strangers have a right to intrude into his life, jeopardizing his safety and that of his family just so you can have the satisfaction of putting a face with a name?

Journalism isn't the same as stalking. This is a man who clearly values his privacy and who had it compromised by his own overly talkative family and by questionable actions on the part of Newsweek (note that they carefully omit how they acquired his email from the model train website). Your response encapsulates everything that is wrong with celebrity voyeurism in America.
That is a rather silly statement since the two do not have the same behavior. So it is not a subjective question: one is right and the other is wrong.

(For certain types, they do have the same behavior. In those cases, the subjective question is fine. But times are not a case where the behavior is the same.)

Free Item Tracker from Trackr

it's not verified, the reporter just drew her own conclusion
I'd say null/undefined is a good candidate for a falsey value since existence checking is a very common operation. Conceptually I'd rather check what the incoming variable is, as opposed to what it is not. Anything else is dangerous or incredibly dangerous ( e.g. 0 == false ). Besides empty variables, like [] or {} or "", are usually handled pretty well by code that works with non-empty equivalents so there's no conceptual or pragmatic reason to have those evaluate to false.
I agree with your point... just want to mention that I actually eat about that much (sub-2000 calories. I'm a white, middle class American). Of course, I have to try rather hard to stay that low here in the States but I feel great, doing it.
>Alternatively, in the US the average daily consumption is somewhere around 3,770 calories

Good lord, I eat pretty normally, and when I count calories it's usually closer to 2,200.
Unfortunately, ridiculousness does not seem to prevent people from being hurt by it on Facebook.

What Netflix thinks they are defending against I don't know, though. Hopefully a Facebook user would think twice about some really long list of instructions of how to bypass the Facebook security. Since I can't imagine Netflix has the same problems with people being fooled into attacking themselves, they probably think this is some sort of security measure, but, that's a race they not only can't win, they can't even stay even with. Making it slightly more annoying to run JS? Sure. Making it impossible? Not gonna happen; the user has to much control over the JS context.

Its not necessarily incoherent (but, still, IMO, somewhat odd) to argue that it is immoral to choose to benefit from violations of the Constitution only if you have sworn a special oath. That argument isn't about the Constitution, just the binding nature of oaths.
