There is no way of delivering classic Windows apps (non-Metro, that is) through app store. That might be fine for consumer users in a couple of years if there's a decent offering of great Metro apps, but I doubt Visual Studio is ever going to go Metro.

I don't think they need to invest billions in such thing, even acknowledging chocolatey and not making life worse for it is a good and useful thing for them to do.
well I have FASFA Loans already so I am not sure that they will go for that. I asked about payment plans and they said that I can't continue until the amount is paid in full. and full disclosure I withdrew before I had too much to owe. So I am needing to transfer which I cant do until I pay off what I owe to the university directly. And thats not including Sallie Mae (~30k). It's a long story, to be sure.
What's an example of "important news"? Does it change what you do, and if so, has there been any in the last week, or month?

Who right now is paying for "real-time quality news"?
SV VCs getting burned in cleantech was apparently not lesson enough?

"One of the key misplaced assumptions that Valley VCs made in cleantech boom times is that the rapid progress of Moore’s Law could be created for cleantech with a little bit of VC funding and Valley smarts."

Can't agree more. Developers are the _least_ rockstar-like people. In fact they are the polar opposite. The greatest developers I know have long beards, quiet, humble and do it for the love of the craft. Rockstar often conjures up an image of a douchey don't-care-loner guy.
Why are warrants so bad? How about a public log of every agent and what they searched for and why they searched it.

I believe we would be exposed to the inanity of their methods and means. It is sheer embarrassment that they don't want their actions logged.

So here is my challenge to you... You have to get out and talk to people who own businesses. See if you can go to networking functions. Let them know you're a SW developer, ENTRY LEVEL... you're looking for work in your field.

Call Real Estate agents (they make deals, so they'll be open to it) trade a new website (nothing too fancy) for a referral and a using their site a part of your portfolio...

If you don't any experience make some... UberX is hiring... code, drive, code... I'd love to take advantage of you and hire you for a project I'm doing... but it won't get you to your $5K goal... (i'm really cheap)
I agree that the Nexus line serves this niche. However, I do think there's still space for one more entrant in this market. Plus, the fact that Google is increasingly closing off bits and pieces of core Android behind Google Play services means that there's a sub-niche out there for a phone that's truly open. I'm not sure if it'll be enough to carry this device to profitability, but I'm certainly hoping that it will be. I was planning on upgrading my Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5 this year, but after looking at the specs and software on the OnePlus One, I'm probably going to hold out for one of these. The site says they're supposed to come out in Q2, so I shouldn't even have to hold out that long.
> The Net, of all things, which was supposed to be a democratizing, equalizing force.

No, it wasn't. You were made promises, not by politicians, but by a powerless counterculture who spoke loudly and had no clout. There is nothing democratizing or equalizing about the Internet.

> I mean, at what point do we consider that democracy is losing and money is winning?

Well, I would have put it somewhere in the 19th century, but that's just me.

> You're not going to change the need for candidates to communicate with the electorate

Why not? Why does this need exist? We have the Internet now. There is no such need anymore.

Let me ask you a different question: why do we need to have any candidates whatsoever? What are they for? Or the more important question: what is a public office for? What is the purpose of that concept?

> Instead, you change the rules such that candidates simply do not have the money to spend, then you watch as the media, parties, candidates, and entire political process re-structure themselves to allow for viable candidates to be identified and subsequently engaged with the electorate.

If you don't subscribe to Rootstrikers, you are seriously out of touch. Unlike you, Lessig has actually been doing things along this line, and unlike you, he has some notion of how to build political capital.

Yep! Protolog (binary protocol buffer logging for Apache) uses netstrings on disk and readers can resynchronize if needed. It's on github for reference.

So you have one image exposing port 80.

You create say 3 instances of that image (i.e. 3 containers) with different port mappings 5001:80, 5002:80, 5003:80. These are just specified at the command line (docker run -p5001:80)

Against the same containers you might also do 6001:22, 6002:22, 6003:22 to expose SSHD to different ports on the host.

This allows you to defer the decision of which containers will be listening where to deployment or runtime, giving you lots of flexibility.
We do not "all agree". The internet got to where it is today without the FCC shepherding it along; it'll be just fine.

The FCC is the USA's only national censorship agency - fining broadcasters for "dirty words" or other indecency. It enforces the telecommunications wiretap requirements (CALEA). If we ever get a national blacklist like in the UK or Australia, it'll be the FCC that enforces it – the exact same ISP-meddling staff that would be imposing some "neutrality" formula.

At most, the government should be enforcing antitrust rules when concentration occurs, not dictating service details and pricing. (Doing that actually tends to benefit national, concentrated operators – because those know how to work DC to their benefit.)

Tell the FCC to have no more regulatory control over the internet – digital publishing – than the total non-involvement it has in book and periodical publishing. Don't invite it into a position of extra power.
While I love the concept of bitcoins and how they disintermediate the traditional currency structures (that just don't seem to work). However, seeing this makes you stop and realise just how much is in place to protect/secure our current primary means of exchange. Imagine the furore if this was impacting your Visa card ...
Do your due diligence well. Amazon does an amazing job of obscuring what Instant Prime is available on leaving an easy impression that it is when it isn't. No Tivo, for example, but they make it all too easy to misunderstand that.
Ask HN: What features do you want in the future video games (Technical Side)?
I have asked this question to get an idea of the 'unsolved' things in the video game industry you would always want to experience. Developers like new technical challenges, but lately many of them could not concentrate upon pinpointed challenges to solve them. For example, VR is getting a traction, what would you want from VR? Team Fortress Runs on VR, but that's it?

We all want Matrix like Simulated reality with fully dynamic environments on 16k or more resolution with full perception. But can someone pinpoint the technical challenges in doing the stuff? What else is desired on the developer's side?
Thanks for clearing that up. As I was reading your comment it seemed like you were of the opinon that online education is of less value than face to face. My mistake :)
It is absolutely a thing, but it's a very quiet thing. There's an awful lot out there that could use the boost in CPU, I/O and RAM in this form factor but the fruit-fly lifespan of these things scares people. I'm fighting that battle right now.
I have never been able to get HD in a browser on my PC with "free" Instant Prime. I cancelled Prime because of all the obscure restrictions on streaming Instant Prime. What are you doing to get HD from Instant Prime?
What I don't understand. How do these figures justify a $70 share price ? Companies tend to be valued at 15 * revenue, on large aggregate.

With these earnings their PE ratio will go from 72 to 57, assuming the stock price doesn't increase. If this stock deleverages at the same speed as google stock did, over 2 years, the share price will be $35-$30 by the end of the year ...

If the pe ratio gets in line with S&P 500 "normal" pe ratio of 15 (actually more like 10-15, but recently it's been nearer 15 than 10), facebook is only worth $17 per share.

Now the default argument is "but growth", so I fit a third degree curve to their earnings. So I fit a second-degree curve to their eps (this assumes it's on an exponential growth trajectory, quite generous I would say), and at what point would their valuation become justified at standard S&P 500 ratios ? Q1 2017. This is assuming FB's exponential growth holds up. That's not as bad as I feared it would be, but still it's pretty bad.

EPS curve for facebook:
0.005 x^2 - 0.0015 x + 0.12 (x is measured in number of quarters since Q2 2012. Data from streetinsider.com)
Without weighing in on why AAPL decided to split or whether it was a good idea, I'll say that I'm happy they did it. I make charitable gifts by donating appreciated stock (more tax-efficient than cash), and this split will allow me to make more granular donations than before. I don't always want to make donations in increments of $500.
> There is more divorce now because it is no longer a burdensome shame to break from a joyless marriage.

You seem to imply this is a good thing. However, my issue is specifically with the fact that people vow themselves to a lifelong marriage -- a lifelong commitment, and then they break that vow later when they get bored. It shows a complete lack of integrity.

If you don't think you're going to stay with the same person the rest of your life, make this clear up front to them! You can still get married for the tax benefits, but it should be understood by both parties from the very beginning that the relationship is only going to last temporarily. Then no one gets devastated when it comes to an end, and no one has broken a promise.

Thank you. If it's SFTP, then it's a different beast and that changaes a lot.

Yes, I know the difference between FTP and SFTP. In this case the technical details are important: SFTP is effectively a bolt-on file transfer protocol which requires an already established (authenticated) connection. It is most easily used with SSH, but as far as I recall, it could be implemented to work from any protocol that has the concept of a session. (And if my memory serves me right, SILC implemented it as a logical replacement for DCC.)

The other security measures you list also make me feel better. From other posters I have already learned that NACHA transfers have an integrity check file which may be, in some systems, ignored. If the files are indeed PGP encrypted, then that may be less of an issue. The message integrity checks in PGP are certainly robust. :) [Corruption-in-transit becomes a moot point, and the same applies for route hijacking.]

I give you wholehearted thanks, and want to offer an apology for my earlier tone. However, I still have a reason to cringe.

Just let me cringe at the article author instead.
if that is so, then you must consider this one as the exception to the rule since that's the PR manager of O'Reilly UK not just 'someone'....
If you want to learn about accounting from fundamentals up, I recommend Frank Wood's Business Accounting 1: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0273712128?pc_redir=13981155...

For more advanced topics, the 3rd party study guides for the major accounting qualifications are pretty good. Try searching Amazon for 'BPP CIMA'.

Note: these are resources focused on accounting. If you are interested in finance, then you could do worse than starting with Brealey & Myers: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DDML9U2
If the markets were efficient or in any way a true reflection of value that might be the case. In reality this sort of change can impact the percived value as can a lot of other noise people react to every day. As they say, in the short term the market is a beauty contest, maybe the act of splitting makes the company looks cooler, proactive, smart. Who knows.

Whenever people are concerned there's no such thing as cold-hearted assessment. The only trading entities that are cold hearted are algorithms.

I'd say the Malaysian flight disappearing/crashing-into-the-ocean is 'important' news. Here it is of global relevance because of the catastrophic nature of the incident, but one could easily argue that a series of break-ins on your street is important as well ,albeit its relevance is local therefore its only important to the people of the locality.

I believe future news/social applications will have to harmoniously marry the global with the local. In all humble honesty I sorta envision these really cool applications that'll be aware of where we are and what we want and serve us relevant content.This idea is exciting to me because we don't have to wait for superior technology to build them.
These targets developer and tech savvy users who prefer command line over GUI, no reason it can't act as interface for store also.
Having a reasonably priced 64GB version removes much of the need for an SD slot though, at least for most people. Plus given the direction Google is going, the external storage is becoming less and less useful.
That's interesting. I stopped at a McDonald's very near Coalinga* and on the take out window it read verbatim:

"Chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm may be present in foods or beverages sold or served here.

Such chemicals are also present in this area and in consumer products and other items sold, provided, and used here."

And wondered why this was on window. Now I know. Still decent cheeseburger though I don't care.

Maybe we should consider whether software patents are necessary at all? There are disciplines where the core content is not itself patentable (or "intellectually protectable"), primarily because obviousness is hard to prove. The most accessible examples are food recipes and fashion designs - how do you demonstrate that a specific recipe has never been conceived of in the past? For disciplines that rely on the assembly of existing ideas, this actually seems like the rational thing to do.

Alternatively: can you think of any software patents that make sense to you?
Thank you.

OK, how does a client outside of my docker host know to connect to 5001 to get to container1 port 80 and 6001 to get to container1 port 22?

BTW, this was the scenario I mentioned initially as "I could go ham on it and move ports around."

Thanks again for the reply, getting somewhere.
> I think netstrings provide a good and dirt simple format

so netstrings is basically tlv encoded strings ? since it is always going to encode strings, the 't' part can be omitted to just have 'lv' ?
> Plain old FTP is not considered secure by any means, and is largely disappearing - SFTP is standard now.

Thank $deity for that.
Why does the author repeatedly refer to the clients climbing Everest as "Westerners?" There are a lot from Japan, China, South Korea, and India. Is the implication that the Westerners are somehow responsible while the Easterners are not? Are Sherpas more likely to recede from danger when their climbing party is from Japan than when it is from Germany?
Intel's position in CPUs is analogous to Apple's position in phones: Less than 15% of the units, but over 50% of the profit.

ARM is a commodity market. Nvidia makes its money on GPUs and runs Tegra at a loss. ARM has a huge market cap but barely makes any profit. Samsung makes its money on the phone and other chips. TI found ARM so cutthroat that they've given up and quit. Qualcomm has an enormous market cap (larger than Intel's), but they make almost all of their money on the wireless side.

This is why ARM is so dangerous to Intel. While ARM moves upmarket and Intel moves downmarket, Intel is unable to compete on price because the competitors are operating so close to breakeven.
If I can get it down to one spam each time a mailing list server is compromised, I'm ok with that.

Even with a charging scheme, some spam will still happen. Give the amount of BTC stolen so far, and given the number of compromised computers that could be used to generate cash, looks like there will be plenty of money to spend on sufficiently profitable spam.

well yeah I want to get to the eventual goal of work. But the thing is everyone wants to see the Bachelors as a kind of first line test. so I do want to work but at some point I do want to finish, I mean I already got this close to the finishing line. at this point its getting enough to go back for about a year of school. but some of it would be repeating courses. so its not exactly the most ideal thing to do, but it's where I am. let me know your email and I'll shoot you a message.

Yes, I'm aware of IIT. That does not really disprove my point though. Your argument is similar to if someone was said that Mexico is a poor country and someone made a counterargument saying that Carlos Slim Helu lives in Mexico ergo it's not a poor country.

> The point is that the children who learn through standardized tests are performing just as well as, if not better than, those in an environment where tests are deemphasized.

I think the intention is to deliniate between 'western' and 'eastern' standards of living - in that context, Japan, South Korea and to an extent China are quite 'western'. This is as opposed to the Nepalese, who as the article says live on an annual income of ~USD$600.

This opens up another can of worms in implying that 'eastern' civilisations are poorer than western ones. I agree it is not a good use of the term but it's arguably better than 'first world' and 'third world' and I cannot think of a better equivalent.

You should totally patent that idea!
I recommend you to take a look to the "Growing object oriented software guided by tests" book.

The first assumption you made is about TDD being only unit tests. What if TDD is not only unit tests? It could be that TDD is used in many levels, therefore when you do a more high level test, like an end to end/functional/system test, and there should be at least the idea of that system to start with. It doesn't appear suddenly.

The previous book applies TDD in that way: You get what the system has to do, prepare an idea/design of how the system has to do it and validate it through code. Of course that code is written test first.

Thus experts do not promote TDD only on units, thus "no design at all". You will find the no "BIG design upfront" though, but this is a different matter.

It seems to kill people randomly.

A family member used to work for a company that produced asbestos cement products. I can still remember touring the factory as a child: the grinding machines shaping the pipe couplings, standing on top of the dust collector as it was being emptied, the sealed room at the beginning of the production line into which the raw asbestos was being blown. (I only looked through the glass door of that one, though I gather it wasn't unknown for people to be locked in there for a joke, whilst workmates enjoyed the "snow show".)

Yet, for that, some people who worked at the company are still healthy (and being regularly monitored), whilst others are dead from mesothelioma. It's as if some people are susceptible, whilst others aren't, and size of dose isn't the overriding factor.

I don't think it's overblown, in that people do die (unpleasantly) from minimal exposure to asbestos. Perhaps that's why asbestos is treated so gingerly: to some people it is as dangerous as nuclear waste and we don't know who those people are?

According to Bloomberg [1], this removes an obstacle for Apple's inclusion in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The index weights stocks solely by their share price. Splitting up AAPL 7:1 should produce a new share price of around $75, close to the DJI mean of $85.

While it's not a 100% analogy, it's 99.99% - Good Delivery gold bar are virtually never converted to smaller units. Indeed, it's rare that they are ever even moved from their vault (though that does happen on occasion).

The point I was trying to make is not that Gold Bars are impossible to make smaller, but that their very high price "per unit" doesn't result in any lower-prices per ounce than if they were broken down into smaller units. I.E. There is no pressure to reduce the size of Good Delivery Gold Bar's - the market realizes that just because they are expensive per unit, it doesn't reduce their price per ounce.
Sure, but the site in question is about current law, which does allow software patents. No doubt, many of the people working on invalidating them would agree that they are unnecessary.
