Some Websites require you to pay money for access to their API.

Some of them also have a HTML5-App (with a wrapper) available for Android. This app uses the same API.

So some malicious developer could just unzip the app, read the JavaScript and find the API-key, and use their key instead of paying for one.

And as the website usually has many accesses from the same IP (due to mobile users being behind NATs), the Website will never find out that someone is abusing their API.

Alright, I'm composing a mail. Did you know Passenger also runs Node.JS and Python apps? Might make your comparison a bit easier!
And a developer with Apktool could still modify the app and get the keys, you win nothing with this solution.
There's still plenty of time to generate a buzz. I'll wait until I've heard the opinion of a few reputable reviewers before I consider it writing it off as an "also ran".

There have been a few apps with tilt scrolling such as instapaper, kindle, etc. Mostly reading apps. If found them impractical as I tend to read at a pretty small area of the screen, constantly adjusting the text so my reading area is at the top. I tried tilting but it never felt as natural as just keeping my thumb in position to scroll.

Ask HN: How can I get Swag from Startups?
Hello HN,
I'm a college student from India. Is there a way to get swag from start ups or other companies to wear College. I'm in not the best financial conditions. So, I would appreciate if anyone helps me. I will tweet my picture with the swag when received :) Thanks

I actually was looking for information about this a few days ago, so this was quite timely. On a previous server I used Passenger to host multiple projects with the Apache plugin, but I've not really done any Rails for a while and wasn't certain if Passenger was still the go to. Seems like for my needs (multiple, small projects) Passenger is still the best choice, but it's nice to know in depth what the others offer over it.

I remember really wanting stickers from Digg, Twitter, etc. back in 2007. I sent out a bunch of emails saying that I was at university and wanted to promote their cool sites with stickers on my laptop (I thought I'd be cool and have a bunch of tech stickers all over my laptop) and I did get a response from them all, most sent me free stuff. T-shirts? Never tried, but that's quite a bit more costly... Really depends I guess, but I wouldn't count on a formula that'll work every time..
Haha, i thought the same. But could also be the NSA sending a message to not publish this. I mean the NSA needs other Service Providers to use the closed source backdoor infested stuff.
Oh dear... Sorry to say, but this'll get you nowhere.

SchemeSpheres release v0.8: Towards Beta
Thanks for the kind words and your own story. Its interesting to hear you talk about "slowly slipped into a sort of 'fog.'". At times that feeling really resonates with how I'm feeling. Perhaps in the future I'll experience the "fog lift over me". For now though turning the corner was yesterday and although I feel like things have got worse I can also see thinning of that "fog". I think I made a mistake waiting so long to take action.

How To Dissect Android Simplelocker Ransomware
Ok, dug around in the code.

In Smartmontools I found the code for this variable:

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/doxygen/atacmds_8cpp_so...

It's code 179 (0xB3).

From Samsung's website:

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisit...

ID # 179 Used Reserved Block Count (total)

This attribute represents the number of reserved blocks that have been used as a result of a read, program or erase failure. This value is related to attribute 5 (Reallocated Sector Count) and will vary based on SSD density.

.. so at least for samsung there's use of exact numbers.

From Intel's website:

http://download.intel.com/newsroom/kits/ssd/pdfs/intel_ssd_5...

(Ctrl-F for "Available Reserved Space")

.. they use a normalized value (100).

So it can be either percentage or absolute value, depending on manufacturer.

Join Open Rights Group today and found a Scottish digital rights office
I went along to last night's TechMeetup in Aberdeen, Scotland, and Jim Killock from the Open Rights Group (UK non-profit org) came to speak about their goals and the current state of affairs in the UK.

If you like in Scotland or the UK, please go to the ORG page and help out as much as you can!

From their website:

What's the situation?

Many people are concerned by the direction the Scottish Parliament is taking with civil liberties. There are growing plans for Entitlement Cards – a scheme that looks rather like ID Cards by the back door, attacks on Freedom of Information law in Scotland, proposals for massive data sharing across the Scottish government, and laws ordering the blocking of sectarian websites.

That's pretty much the ultimate doom scenario. I'm also worried, though not really about robots wiping us out. I'm worried about our obsolescence. If we manage to create AI just as smart, versatile and creative as humans, then the step to AI that's smarter, more versatile and more creative won't be very big. And at that point, what's our use? Everything we can do, robots will be able to do better.

The only solution to that is, well, basically Asimov's laws, as silly as it may seem. We have to make sure that we are and remain the purpose of their existence. They must exist only to improve the life of humans or humanity directly, and not anything else. So no corporate AI that serves profit first, because we all know corporates cannot help but do evil sometimes (even Google), so AI serving corporations will end up serving evil, and not us.

Though personally I don't see the use in developing human-like AI. We've got plenty of humans already. Let us do the creative stuff, the setting of goals, the politics (no matter how much we actually suck at that), and let the AI be our tools to help us do what we need. Though inevitably someone will disagree and will create exactly the kind of AI that will make us obsolete.
Well put.

A sports team faces many real challenges besides the artificial challenges on the field: many months of training before a big playoff, which involves individual player discipline, extensive interaction with the coach and the other players, interaction with the press etc.

Where the comparison breaks down, I think, is that the activity of individual employees in a company (especially a big one) isn't nearly as visible as the activity of an athlete. Therefore, there's less incentive to be a "team player", since it won't necessarily help you get a better job at a different company.

Author here (or rather - people who started this collaborative Hackpad).

1. As for any use of Markdown, it is aimed at short notes and things which are (and should be) more lightweight than full LaTeX (to make them easily editable + make it possible to have them as webpages, etc).

2. Open collaborative pads: I enjoyed a lot collaborative discussions, where anyone can edit. Most of the time results were wonderful (and for this pad, up to 8h ago, it was great). I was both sad and disgusted to see an anus instead of the content (as I see it takes only 2 malicious users among a few dozens to spoil the experience). I reverted them and set some moderation options.
thanks for the links

The power of TeX is that it is a powerful and beautiful type setter. Something like a website was not on the horizon.

For Online-Documentation the best option for me is Sphinx at the moment. It is extendible and still a clean markup, slightly more powerful than markdown but does not get into the way.

It is no coincidence that it uses Latex for generating its PDFs. Sadly its not possible then to polish the printable output in the same way as you would be able in tex or latex.
We are writing more docs now and putting a small website up, currently they are in the README. We provide support by email, there are already a few third-party users using it in production.
Using sports metaphors is a particularly bad way to go about it in this instance. The average young NFL player is only expecting a career lasting about 5 years, maybe 10 for exceptional guys; The average young office worker is looking for 40 years.

If you were fired as frequently as players get traded in NFL, we'd be living hellish careers!

MRQ is heavily inspired by RQ to which we switched from Celery (http://www.slideshare.net/sylvinus/why-and-how-pricing-assis...)

However it is a complete rewrite because we felt we couldn't add gevent support and other features to provide extreme visibility without major changes. If you don't need those 2 things, you may want to check out RQ instead for now, it's still a very good piece of software.

In general, your company should not be a family in the sense that they have the right to demand your help whenever and wherever. With a company, there is a contract and limits.

Besides which, you're lucky if you have a tiny handful of people in the entire world with whom things are "in the rainbows and unicorns sense". Rainbows and unicorns actually takes a whole lot of hard work at making interpersonal relations work well.
This is awesome, you made this? I got a project about vinyl records, would love to contact you!
My idea is to add one more layer, rather than recreate it from scratch. Many things in LaTeX are wonderful and would be hard to recreate.

Bear in mind that LaTeX itself is a layer to TeX.
> Before Android came along that business was at the mercy of Apple (in the mobile space anyway).

Android has existed for the entire time mobile advertising was becoming huge. The iPhone was a big innovation, but in its first year it wasn't nearly the mass market device it is now, and its impact on mobile advertising at the time should not be overstated. Mobile and mobile advertising only started becoming really big in 2010.

I don't think Android was built with the specific goal to directly put Google's services into people's hands. I believe Android was built and released as free to be used by anyone to create an easy-to-use platform for any vendor with very capable connectivity features. It was hoped that this would increase use of Google's services on mobile, not because Google was forced into the market, but because people would have devices capable of web services in general.

Android seems to be made with a goal of making a market, not taking a market. That is why there is this diverse market for Android, and that's why all those associated problems exist. Its strategy also directly made possible this Fire Phone.
Ok if that was the case, I understand the sentiment, but the words you chose to make that point were badly chosen.
External dependencies increase failure points, no argue there.

It depends on your line of business, but if you compare the benefits of making user signup faster, lowering acquisition barriers and getting access to the social graph of users against the risks of depending on one of the top infrastructures in the cloud, I think it may well be worth the trouble.
I tried compiling it last summer, and couldn't even get to the point of showing the dog model. The instructions for building and demoing really need some major updating.

Besides which, the scientific approach mainly seems to be just throwing together a whole bunch of sorta-kinda cognitive and perceptual algorithms with a unified knowledge base, and hoping something happens.
Wow. I was feeling squeamish about the Ulrich Drepper pile-on in this thread, but this bug report is amazing.
And a lot of pro sports players have fixed contracts can't imagine a firm wanting to continuing to pay some one for 5 years when their job becomes redundant.
It would have great potential because it would provide a very robust building ground for a program.

One of Latex's Building blocks, Metafont, a domain specific language for curve definition (as in fonts) is already implemented in Haskell, and it does not look anything like what people expect Haskell to look like, its part of the diagrams library [1]

http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/doc/metafont.html

What would be next is probably to port the layout algorithm for paragraphs (the rubber and boxes stuff). This could then be used within a framework for page layout.

As a big conceptional change it would probably mean that one separates the Macro stuff from the markup. As writing the plain text within a haskell sourcefile is probably not what one wants (Strings, quoting, etc.).

[1] The diagrams library by itself has resemblances to the immensly powerful Tikz package.

http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams
But isn't that the point they are trying to make - that sports teams can be effective despite have very high rates of staff turnover because everyone has realistic expectations of the employer-employee relationship?
It's more of an idea, that if you are not good, people will eventually find better service. Right now, they really can go elsewhere (if you not count bashing on twitter :)), but imagine that facebook downtimes become a norm - eventually there will be a better service.
Every time people talk about the "deep web" or "dark net" or whatever I roll my eyes so hard that I worry they will fall out of my head.
Not enough detail? scanf(3) returned that 2 matches were made for "0xz" against "%x%c".

If anything, I think the problem is that he provided too much detail, since that detail alone should have been dispositive.
I was appalled too. The price of making it open for anyone to edit. I reverted them; sadly, because of time zone differences, it took some time.
Ok, but some are more than others. Facebook is not famous for its outages, as far as I know.
I know business schools are looked down on by the "proper" parts of the Host UNI but winningest FFS this is the HBR not the back page of the Sun.

You don't need the spec to see that "0xz" doesn't match "%x%c". The man page for scanf is sufficient, as is having read K&R. This is extremely basic C standard library stuff; it's not an odd corner case.

By allowing browsers to cache the image preferably: everybody gets a random photo, which then sticks for a while, but if you want a new one, you can always just force reload the page. But of course, it all stands and falls with the selection of images.

I have no idea wether visitors get anything out of this, probably not, but I use random color schemes on my personal site and it makes it much more enjoyable for me to work on it. Most people only ever see one page or two, but I have seen thousands if not tens of thousands, and a bit of variety can go a long way :)

Wouldn't it make more sense to model also the walls as vectors? Then you mostly need vector-to-vector intersection etc, fairly standard mathematical stuff.

If the maze is not standard but can be anything, the walls can be stored in a quadtree or some similar efficient structure.

What bugs me about these things is that lots of people don't realize this an avg # sold in X time. I have heard people say well it has been X seconds so 1k colas have been sold. Well it is 3am in the morning so no they haven't. At 3pm 10k will sell in that time.

Maybe this is making a distinction with out a difference but I think the short cut of not saying avg leads to many thinking that literately every X seconds an event happens. I have seen so many news reports that use sloppy wording that leads to this kind of thinking.
I too would like to deprecate 'or' in favour of 'ior' and 'xor'. Not sure whether A. A. Milne would like it though?

Your redefinition of 'core business' is confusing.

IBM's core business is monetization, by definition. Making services that enterprises like to use is what they do to feed that core business, not vice versa.

Walmart's core business is monetization, by definition. Selling goods that people like or need is what they do to feed that core business, not vice versa.

Toyota's core business is monetization, by definition. Selling cars that people like or need is what they do to feed that core business, not vice versa.

The local florist's core business is monetization, by definition. Selling flowers that people like is what they do to feed that core business, not vice versa.

Every for-profit's core business is monetization, by definition. Performing a large variety of things that make money is what they do to feed that core business, not vice versa.
