Looking at source for something implementing the same thing opens you to accusations of being a derivative work. If the licenses are compatible, then this is no downside. If the licenses are incompatible, this makes it harder to defend against a lawsuit (even if you probably, in principle, remain in the right).
Why not cross compile?
Yup, it's me. The issue is mentioned many many times on Amazon forums,and everyone reports the same thing. Sometimes it's enough to change the name of your wifi network,sometimes it won't help. I also found a post somewhere talking about how the Wi-Fi kernel driver of the Paperwhite actually crashes in presence of certain networks, and nothing helps except for a reboot - and obviously if that network is still there it will crash again.

It seems to be mostly triggered by BT/Virgin Media routers here in the UK:

Shingle Roofing Installation Estimate: 7 Crucial Points to Remember
Brain connections are constantly changing. This is learning.

We'd expect the brain scan of someone who had never played piano to look different from a later scan after they learned to play piano.

So, a problem I have with this kind of article is that by concentrating on words like "disorder" and "remission", they kind of imply a passive response.

Learning to control yourself is an active process, and once you're at the level of the median person, do you have a disorder, at all?
Yes I did change it, especially in the rules ! Except "Brazil" because I needed to keep this international.

By the way the French version is not the translation, it's the original.
Amazon themselves have actively recommended this reship.com when I asked about delivery before for certain product.
They do understand. That's why they want it. Even if they don't sell it outright, that database adds to their value if they're ever acquired.

Yep, it's the overcast weather that bugs some people. The locals here (I live in the Seattle area but am a transplant) tend to like to go with the complaints and add to it with exaggeration to keep people less interested in moving here.

I don't mind it at all. In Missouri, the winters do have more sun, but much, much colder and snowy/icy so you don't want to go out anyway. Here I can go for a walk/run/bike/hike or whatever and it's mostly mid to upper 40's (F) all winter with a few exceptions either direction (some 70 degree days in Feb, for instance).

I actually use these sites (mostly Yummly, but I always try new ones), and I have a comment that applies to all of them. It has to do with the variability of the underlying data.

Do I have "parmesan" or "parmesan cheese" or "parmegiano reggiano" or "parmegiano-reggiano"? Also, there is an implied hierarchy to some ingredients. For example, if I have fresh lemons, then I have "lemon juice" and "lemon zest" and "lemon peel".

I don't really know how this site or any others like it handle those types of things. Maybe its fixed behind the scenes, but a visual indicator would be great.
I didn't find the cost of living a huge difference in real terms (compared to NYC).

I don't think patent incentives work this way. HP are not "the only people who are allowed to work on this problem." Patents don't forbid research, only use.

And patents stack: if HP has a patent on the general idea of memristors (for example), and you get a patent on a particular way of making memristors, then no one including HP can make them your way without licensing your patent as well as HP's patent. (This is different from copyright, where if I write the first Harry Potter story and you write a derivative Harry Potter story, I just own your story.)

The ultimate idea is when you sell something complicated like a car, a share of the money gets divvied up among a bunch of people/companies who contributed to it -- sort of like selling a movie, where royalties get divvied up among a bunch of people/companies who worked on it.

So, R&D incentives: right now HP doesn't have a commercially viable way of using memristors -- they have to invent a bunch of new stuff first. If someone else invents that stuff before HP can, that person/company will share in the megacash that comes from the breakthrough.

The part that is theoretically bad for R&D is that it's literally a gamble to research a particular topic, because whoever makes a particular discovery first wins all the royalties for that discovery. If you think HP's lab is way ahead of everyone else then you might not want to sink a bunch of money into memristors, because they might be about to patent whatever technique you start researching.

On the other hand, this means you ought to sink your research money into a different angle than HP is investigating, rather than just duplicating what they're doing. Your incentive is to find the highest-payoff place to put down your R&D bets, which (we hope) is a net win for everyone.

We talk a lot about the evils of software patents, but mostly that's because the model of "make a car and pay out royalties to people who helped" doesn't seem to translate/scale to software, so the incentive systems break. If you're coming from software you have to be careful translating your intuitions back to hardware, where the incremental-invention/royalty model is more workable.

"Seattle Freeze" #neverforget

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Freeze

http://qr.ae/sDfQ9

Its a real thing. All my friends in Seattle ended up being people who moved there from somewhere else - like myself. I noticed this trend well before I learned about the mythical term "Seattle freeze". Crazy world.
Ok, let's give your skyscraper a nice 80' x 200' floor plate. A 100 stories up, and you've probably spent a billion dollars on construction and land and entitlement...at least in the US. Less some other parts of the world, more in others.

You're only half way to matching the tallest building, have just put an additional million and a half feet of expensive space into the local real-estate market, and your costs are only going up.

But that doesn't really paint the right picture about how expensive it is to build upward beyond a half dozen stories or so rather than building outward or just cramming more into less space.

No to put the cost of building upward in perspective: the great pyramid was the tallest building for nearly 4000 years. Lincoln Cathedral was then the tallest ever built for more than 500 [250 years if you want to say it lost the title when the spire collapsed, which brings up the point that the great pyramid would have been, but for erosion the tallest structure from 1647 to 1874, but was still the second tallest in the age of steam and iron].

So yeah, it's expensive and hard and unless you're the Pharaoh doesn't serve much purpose.

I think that ADHD is a spektrum, from "Phineas Gage" all the way to seasoned zen monks.

Also, all sorts of activities, meditation and neurofeedback, have been shown to alleviate some of the symptoms and problems of ADHD, even without medication. That means there should be a solid chance for someone with ADHD training their attention capabilities more or less "accidentally" over the years.

But still, treatment, even medication, is a much better proposition than waiting 10-20 years for a cure that might or might not come.
I'm impressed by the resolution at which some of these paintings have been scanned.

It's even more weird: it's not albums that are available or not, it's individual songs. An album I've been listening to while I work out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ZTL5Q0/ref=sr_1_1_rd?ie...

Blast Tyrant by Clutch. 3 songs from the original album plus one more from the extended album. This isn't an album where there's only two or three good songs, they're all solid gold if you like the genre. And I certainly wouldn't pick The Regulator as one of the top three songs; Ghost feels very similar but IMO has more going for it. So how did The Regulator get picked?

Yes, it's definitely controversial but I think a little bit of insecurity is a good thing but not too much -- the question is how much. Consider that had the NSA been far more secure in their processes, the whole Snowden thing may have never happened... which is somewhat ironic.

I am a USA prime account holder with an account that was renewed in January of this year (2014). I was curious why the amazon prime music page indicated I needed to upgrade my account, so, I clicked 'upgrade for 99 dollars'.

It went ahead and renewed my prime account with today's date, and sent me a new welcome email.

It's completely unclear if it has consumed my previous subscription with over half a year left.

So be cautious... probably I did not read enough!
Respect for the endeavour. But India presents many challenges. The masses this phone targets may not be able to use it effectively unless the UI is extremely simple. Remember that India has most illiterates on the planet and the most people who earn less than $2 a day. Smart phone penetration is a measly 10% now though growing at a healthy 50% per year. This is despite smart phones being made available at less than $75 price point already. Would be glued on the ground.

The author is right in that I do not want to sign up with Facebook, Twitter, Github, Google+ or any other SSO SPOF.

He is wrong in that "Nooooo people do not want to create an account either". If there is a reason to register, I am perfectly happy creating an account with a self-invented password and email validation, even if it's to do only so much as post a few comments under the same name somewhere.

I do this frequently, the use case is ordering things for my father, who's certainly capable of doing this on his own, but since I buy so much stuff from Amazon, starting a year after they opened, it's the most convenient way.

Only difference is I'm in the US and charging it to a credit card of his. And a Prime account is not required (we recently split the difference on getting one). And if they're looking for fraud, that we have the same last name, and his billing address is about a mile away, could reassure them.

This is not two-factor authentication. It is important to know what it means. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication factors are:

* Something only the user knows (e.g., password, PIN, pattern);

* Something only the user has (e.g., ATM card, smart card, mobile phone); and

* Something only the user is (e.g., biometric characteristic, such as a fingerprint).

Your example was two things that someone knows -- one factor.
> Is the climate as bad as they say in Seattle?

Seriously, it's really nice here. No mosquitos (I'm from central Canada), no tornadoes, no hurricanes, no hail, no snow.

The "it always rains" thing is just a seattle meme.

I guess you could say that Seattle doesn't have distinctive weather character, but that's not really a problem, or a bad thing.
Swift First Impressions
Well to be honest I can test my code in IE9 to see if it works. But I have no idea how a disabled person is experiencing my website, I do put all the "alt" attributes etc...but it's hard to imagine it.
I hate the font choice of this article.
Social sign-in filters can be used to qualify customers.

That's basic market segmentation. Don't take it personally, but some companies don't want you as a customer. There are lots that don't want me either, if it's any consolation and you need consoling.
As a side note, designing well for disabilities often translates to better design as well. Those alternate text labels and better layout for screen readers can make your site easier for the googlebot to read. You can find navigation and flow issues. Buttons that are hard to click are harder for everyone to click, even if some can manage. Or those buttons are really hard for everyone on tablets to hit because they are too small.
Top Websites for Visual Inspiration
I gotta be honest, if I were the target audience, this would be a turn off for me. A confirmation re-type is no big deal and is kind of expected, as it's the norm. Also it's just not secure. I don't know about you, but I often have to type in my password in front of people. Or during presentations. Maybe you'll say the login field using type=password (I admit I didn't look), but I'd say that it is still concerning.

Streisand effect works on its own!
I like these articles when they're about my city. I still really have no idea what the true tech scene is like where I live.

I lived in Silicon Valley briefly and the cost of living and work-life balance were poor. I left about 10 years ago. I dislike the idea that I'd have to go back there to be cutting edge or successful and would much rather achieve great things from, say, Montana, Nebraska, or Idaho.
The reverse is also sometimes true: If you use best practices, your website will hopefully be relatively accessible.
Good. It's well deserved. If anything, they should be looking into Intel's deep subsidies for Atom, to make it reach price-parity with ARM chip competition, to the point where it's causing them losses of $1 billion every quarter.

That's not how a "normal" business usually operates. Imagine if Apple started subsidizing its high-end iPhones by $450, selling them at $200, unlocked, to eliminate most competition (since you could buy a $650 phone for $200), simply because they could do that with their cash reserves. Yet this is exactly what Intel is doing right now.

How The Self-Retweeting Tweet Worked
IE9 isn't a disability? Colour me shocked

Apologies in advance for the poor (attempt at) humour, I don't mean to trivialise a real issue, only to ridicule IE9 users.

In all seriousness it's due to the complexity of catering for certain disabilities each of which require entirely different technical solutions, and some of which depending upon OS and various devices can be seamlessly provided for.

I would say a better question here is why isn't there more standardisation on the technology and approach to better serve the needs of people with a disability.

It's not a purely technological issue either, I've never seen a tender for website or application development with any provision for it. And I've seen a fair few.
So what do you think about the NSA's capabilities to easily rootkit your "free" exploitable device? I don't think this is a consistent worldview.
I think this would make a good product. Browserstack for different types of disabilities.
...although you can do a damn good job addressing most of them with a few simple things:

-Write good, semantic HTML, and use alt tags correctly

-Don't overwrite browser defaults for scrolling, tabbing, etc (even if it's "hot design")

-Don't rely purely on color to convey information

-Use ARIA attributes where you can if you're building an application

Some harder stuff that is really still worth it:

-Send your media out for subtitling/transcription (remarkably inexpensive)

-Actually test your site with some disabled individuals, or at least have a go yourself with the NoCoffee Chrome extension to simulate certain visual difficulties

As a result I find it a test for previous experience, rather than a test for actual productivity and competence on real tasks.
Taxi drivers went on strike because taxi drivers and uber drivers don't have the same requirements for doing what amounts to be the same job. In short, becoming a taxi driver is hard and extremelly expensive, becoming a uber driver is easier and cheaper. So these strikes are more against the unfair regulation than against Uber and the likes.

In case case the C runtime has to be implemented on top of the new-cool-language ABI, as it is the only way the vendor supports creating software for their system.

Definitely, but then again any AI worth a damn isn't going to have a "sad flag" either.

My point was that understanding the nature of an emotion in a trivial way should be orthogonal to how we think about what rights that being should have. At some level, we're all machines. Just because one's software runs in silicon vs gray matter; just because one's hardware was deliberately built and is understandable in computing terms doesn't mean that we really understand what it is to be sentient with respect to rights to be free and exist.
