Øredev was one of my stand out conferences from last year http://oredev.org/

Really varied mix of content. Great venue. Had a fantastic time.
There seems to be this idea embedded in human minds that there is a group of people who are just waiting to kill someone, and the fact that they have not yet found a way of doing it is the only thing preventing them from doing so. As soon as you show them that you can do it by hacking a pacemaker, they will go ahead and do it.

There is no shortage of methods of killing someone or inflicting bodily harm. As far as moral culpability, showing how a 0day exploit can be used to kill a person is akin to saying that you can use arsenic to kill grandma.
Of course as the sibling posts mentioned, open source is a huge plus. I've learned a huge amount of OpenGL looking at the Cocos2d-x code and making custom nodes. But I think Cocos2d is kind of pointless, unless it has killer features that Cocos2d-x doesn't offer (I don't know how much they've diverged) or you really, really hate C++. But giving up the whole Android market because of language preferences is a huge deal in my opinion.

Yeah, there are plenty of places cheaper than AWS. From looking into it previously (and following the tor-relays list), it seems that many providers are okay with customers running middle relays (as those don't generate abuse complaints) but frown upon exit nodes (primarily due to the extra workload, AFAICT).

In 2010, H:MC21 organised a lobby of over 250 homeopaths and patients, and handed in to No. 10 Downing Street a letter and the declaration "Homeopathy Worked for Me" signed by 28,112 people.
You can run a middle relay which won't generate abuse complaints like an exit node would.
Better, though to sound natural you'd want to drop the "in". (Also "be a case of" rather than "be the case of", and "some small additional evidence" or "a small additional piece of evidence" rather than "a small additional evidence").

(Hope none of this is too dispiriting; I'm being quite nitpicky)

It's a huge distinction if formal legal action happens because Apple can establish quite easily that they have relied on the Kit format for previous software, whereas HealthKit.com doesn't (AFAIK) have any major traction in the software space. Law student here, IANAL, so take this with a huge grain of salt.

Either way, in Australia, both parties would apply under Classes 9 and 44 which covers all computer software and medical services respectively. It's likely that Apple will win on class 9 as "Kit" is far better known in the software community than "HealthKit.com"; and arguably 44 too, depending on Healthkit.com's traction in the medical field.

It's unlikely that Apple's HealthKit and HealthKit's HealthKit would cause confusion in the market - but it makes a silly story to say that Apple's Health (which may have overlapping functionality with the preexisting HealthKit).

Gotta love the media.

I wasn't calling your opinions ignorant. I made several factual corrections about your post. You also made further incorrect statements about the development timeline of go (dsymonds corrected you there). No offense was intended, but in general I'm of the opinion that you should get your facts straight when criticising something publicly.

Also I've gotta laugh at "lions den". I've been reading HNers (like yourself) broadly condemn Go for nearly five years.
Have you tried monetdb (since your largest table is 500GB/1node?)?

TL;DR: As somebody actively dealing with the using persona in iterative agile/lean contexts I have no idea what you product does and how it would help me.

Longer version ;-)

Me: I'm about half dev & half UX. I do persona development among other things. For the last 10+ years that's been mostly in agile/lean contexts.

I'd disagree that the persona development is a long process. Persona documents are a communication tool — an artefact. It's user research that (can) take the time if done traditionally. Persona are one tool in communicating that research.

Managing the research, doing the analysis/synthesis of that research - that's the hard bit. Persona are one output from that. Your site reads like a persona creation tool - that's not the hard problem.

That said, using persona well in more agile/lean contexts is an issue for some folk. It's one various folk are already addressing in various ways (the ad-hoc persona structure you see from folk like Luxr, my incremental persona work, etc.). So there's definitely a problem to be solved for some people.

However, in my experience it's not really a software or tool problem. It's a discipline silos / workflow problem. One you get past that there are a bunch of existing tools that seem to support the necessary work just fine.

Reading your site I have no real idea what you product does, what pain points it solves, and how it would help.

Sorry ;-)
It doesn't change anything you've said, but it's worth noting that Apple has backed down on something like this when pressed: http://appleinsider.com/articles/05/02/18/apple_to_rename_re...
I use an old Android phone as music player when out. It is on flight mode so battery lasts forever, the system doesn't have random sync hiccups and Spotify has not lost offline library so far. It only goes out of flight mode when I want to sync a new playlist. Works OK this way. Definitely more convenient than juggling a collection of MP3s: want to go on a ride/run, find a workout playlist, mark it as offline, go into flight mode, ready.
It is somewhat controversial: according to Wikipedia

There is no universal agreement about whether to include zero
in the set of natural numbers. Today some textbooks,
especially college textbooks, define the natural numbers to
be the positive integers {1, 2, 3, ...}, while others,
especially primary and secondary textbooks, define the term
as the non-negative integers {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.

Among mathematicians, the most common (by far) definition is the one given by Peano axioms, which include 0.
Including 0 is very convenient for a number (pun intended) of reasons, for example it makes the naturals a monoid, and it is easier to define the integers.
I thought miners get coins for transmitting bandwidth which they can sell at exchanges, and people who do not participate in transmitting but want to trasmit buy these coins to consume bandwidth in the network. It would make sense.

Essentially miners would be bandwidth providers and consumers buy torcoin to pay miners. The monetary value of torcoin will be decided by free market.

It is not about reversing obesity, it is about long term weight reduction. Different problem.
Again, this is a regional problem – in my country we have no Netflix and videos on Amazon Instant Video cost at least 7 or 8$ each (just for renting them for viewing them one time – if you want to view them multiple times, pay 19$)

Which means Amazon Instant Video is, if you want to watch videos multiple times, more expensive than buying the DVD or BluRay.
On the login form could you use just one HTML form on the page rather than two.

Presently LastPass and other password managaers will submit the last form found on the page (the create account one).

Which means users with password managers are constantly hitting the account creation page and then have to go back and attempt to click the login button before the second form is submitted (again).
I was thinking more along the lines of having two different kinds of gifts, dollars and bitcoins, and when someone gives bitcoins to someone else, the receiver has to accept is as bitcoins by providing an address if they want to cash it out.
It has ads if you refuse to pay for the service. And if you want to keep the music without DRM, you can try something like Amazon Cloud Player or Google Play or use your own server. There are plenty of solutions for music now.
Also the example on http://www.rust-lang.org/ is now runnable and editable, powered by the same tool (it’s a CORS-enabled service).
Ah, the public Bitcoin key is not the secret, it's the hash of the secret. I thought the secret was the address itself.

This is not always true. Certain diseases, e.g. PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and (general) insulin resistance mean that eating X calories (assuming X is lower than the calories expended on exercise, and basal metabolic rate) will just make you extremely tired and unproductive. In these diseases, the body is unable to utilize the energy that you are consuming and unable to burn the energy you have stored already.

I'm not suggesting that all causes of obesity are related to a disease, but things are definitely not so cut and dry as expend more energy than you consume and you will lose weight. The body is an exceedingly complex system of chemical reactions which are fairly tightly regulated (see topics around MCA - Metabolic Control Analysis, to understand how systems of reactions don't behave intuitively). Changing one input variable does not always yield the result you are looking for when you simplify the entire human metabalome down to an equation of calories in, fat storage and calories out
There is an integrated GPU, but it doesn't really compete with the APU's GPU. For the benchmarks, it has been augmented with a much more powerful Nvidia chip, taking thermal load away from the CPU/iGPU and freeing that space up for CPU-only load.

I run an i7 4500 in my laptop (same as the one in the article), and my parents have a desktop APU comparable to the one presented here. Their GPU's are not in the same ballpark. Intel does have powerful GPU's now, but they are only available in CPU's of 47W and up, and at a much steeper price as well. (Price is unrelated to my previous argument, but I'm pretty confident that the price per part of an AMD A7600 will be far below that of the i7-4500u)

Also, for the benchmarks presented here, we have no details about actually consumed energy by the devices, and we don't know what the devices consume during "typical" usage either.

Ok, here's the deal. I have a VPS where I don't pay for IPv6 traffic. If there was a way to run a tor (non-exit) node that only relays IPv6 traffic, I'd do it immediately.

Last time I looked at the tor documentation (maybe half a year ago?) there seemed to be no way to run an IPv6-only tor node.

Has that changed? Is IPv6 support being worked on?
I know that there's a kick to be got out of circumventing the draconian rules big music/film industry lobby into law, but what do the writers think about independents that they effectively take down in the same blow? This is a genuine question, not an attack.

I've spent a lot of time studying/writing/playing music and through that have got to personally know many of the most talented and versatile musicians I've ever come across. These people are skilled like Douglas Crockford, John Resig, you name it. But they have to make the assumption that the music they want to do - their own music - will never make any money in a recorded format, forcing them to do wedding gigs during the day instead.

I'm interested to know what people think about this. Do people think that the end (taking power away from big music industry) justifies the loss for those small-time players, or is it something that simply hasn't been considered at all?

Do you have a justification for saying that all music should be free, or is it just that it would be nice if all music was free?

Even when the reward is tiny, people will try to optimize the process as much as possible.

It would also be great if people provided internet content out of altruism and didn't want any compensation for it, but it doesn't work that way. A lot of websites can only survive by putting up web-ads, even if the compensation is pretty low.
That's the one I was referring to. It was really, really good! :)
The thing is, something could happen to you while you're away. The few minutes in the car won't hurt the child, but if something happens to you, the child is still there. And if you locked the car, the child can't get out.

I'm all for letting kids play with little or no supervision. (Depending on the surroundings, of course; a place near my home where kids can build huts has the explicit rule that kids under 8 need adult supervision at all times, which makes total sense. A mother was upset that someone confiscated the hammer and saw her kids were using while she was away. That mother was wrong.)

But what's important is that if you trust your child to take care of itself, you give it the means to do so. Locking a kid in a car is not that. I'd rather let it play in the parking lot or a field next to it.

So I think the decision to leave the kid in the car is still a bad one. And not even just because of the danger, but because of teaching it about choice and consequences: The kid wanted to come along to the shop? Then it's coming inside. The kid thinks a game is more important than new earphones? Then it's not getting new earphones. Teach the kid consequences.

The first thing I thought of as a successful independent music producer - are my tracks on there? And why are they trying to steal away my 0.000000001c that Spotify pays me? (exaggeration for effect)

Also, why the opinion that listening to music should always be free? How is that a worthwhile cause? It's like saying driving cars should be free, but owning one should cost money.

edit: Just saw that it uses Youtube for the source files. Do the plays count against the Youtube video then? If so, great.

My opinion: The end justifies the loss.

Secure and private file sharing is going to be essential for ensuring liberty in the future. I am absolutely convinced about that. You can't have that and make piracy impossible at the same time. The people who make tools for circumventing digital restrictions today are doing the groundwork for essential technology of the future.

Not many musicians expect to make money from selling records.

It used to be "do free shows to sell records". Now it's completely reversed to "do free records to sell shows".
Nice idea, but doesn't registering your relay in a network made for anonymous communication sound weird? Definitelely does to me.
I can't tell if you are being serious,but in case you really don't know, the British Empire used to send its convicts to Australia, as it was a new colony and was in need of as many people as possible. So instead of putting those people in prison, they sent them off to Australia, without the ability to ever come back.

What makes you think he will be making a profit on a $0.99 app ?

Likely he was not making any profit at all. Are you suggesting he shouldn't try to claw back some of his costs ?

And now they reject his app; he takes it down and definitely won't claw back anything. Now he is down $200 + time and effort. Yeah, screw him for trying to make money off the backs of anyone.
Would you mind sharing what that money goes into?

I'm not involved with this project at all, but I do think you raise some interesting points.

First of all lets acknowledge the fact that if these tracks are on Youtube, they are publicly available for free, and unless they are registering 100k+ views per song, these artists are not making any money off these tracks.

Second, musicians taking wedding gigs and whatnot to supplement their creative careers is not a result of piracy; musicians, filmmakers and photographers have been doing that since always and probably always will.

Third, if these musicians are resorting to private functions like weddings to finance their creative career, its likely that they don't have a wide enough fan base and revenue stream for a product like this to significantly affect them.

In my opinion.
Just do what Norway does - maximum sentence is 21 years, and then it's re-reviewed. If the prisoner has rehabilitated, release them - if not,they can extend the sentence by another few years. And then again,and again,and again - as many times as needed, effectively turning it into a life sentence in the case of hardened criminals, but eventually releasing people like the ones mentioned in the article,who have genuinely changed.

Musicians have only recently been able to make money from recorded media. I see this as a temporary anomaly allowed by the state of technology in the 20th century (i.e. existence of mass media as a physical product).

Musicians (and other artists) can still make money from e.g. performing live - which I'm assuming was their dominant form of income before the 20th century.

I don't believe that a monetary incentive is necessary for good art. I understand that artists need to eat, but also that not everyone can eat from being an artist.

The internet is very important to me as an open and free resource. I can't see how information can be made non-private and scarce at the same time, so I can't see how we can pay for music and keep the internet as I want it.

Starting in 1788, Britain used a policy of 'Transportation' to colonies in Australia to relieve overcrowding in its prisons at home. Of course, Australia is now an independent country.
