Tongue firmly in cheek; but does this mean they're going to start applying design to their products? I could fill a book of examples just from Gmail (settings screen, inconsistant placement of reply button, no option to reverse converstation view).
I've not tried it. But my point stands that Wonga's demographic has disposable income, and spends money freely on non essentials. It's hard to describe these people as exploited in the traditional sense.
or alternatively try the easymotion plugin[1] which you press <leader><leader>j (or whatever you map it to) and then it will highlight each potential line with a letter that you press to go to that line. j is one of the worst examples, it's nice if you are doing a dw so you don't have to count the words, you would just do d<leader><leader><motion> and it will highlight to the potential places.

When it comes to Tech, are Supreme Court judges really fit to judge?
In the wake of this morning's Supreme Court ruling re Aereo, this is a timely article on the Supreme Court's (lack of) understanding of Tech.

Regardless of your opinion on the ruling, the fact that those at the pinnacle of our legal system are still struggling with the most basic of modern technologies -- email, smartphones, text messages -- is astonishing...and begs more than a few questions.
And yet we see plenty of videos on YouTube where a person is arrested for resisting arrest and nothing else...
Generating Unique IDs in Node.js Using MongoDB
Design is irrelevant if OEMs vomit their bullshit all over it on all the devices that are actually interesting. (Yes, I tried rooting. Yes, it was a horrific warranty-removing potentially bricking experience. Even Jailbreaking feels saver.)

It looks super-awesome, though. I want it on interesting devices. I won’t be able to get it, though.
Key Check Service – factorable.net
Nice idea... Currently it's only legal to share source code libraries though right? Binary swift frameworks would constitute Apple NDA covered software, so unless they're compile with Xcode 5 we'd have to wait for pro-tool libraries like Parse, Splitforce and Google Analytics to arrive?
What did you do in that case?
if the economy shrinks by 0.05% on the Sunday before thanksgiving, you could annualize that by multiplying by 365 and getting an 18.25% shrink in the size of the American economy on that day.

It would be an extremely false statement to write, "The U.S. Economy contracted by 18.25% on Sunday before Thanksgiving", which is how our title reads. ("The economy shrank almost 3 percent in Q1").

The number 3% doesn't appear anywhere, just as the number 18.25% doesn't appear anywhere. sp332's very good point is that it should include the word "annualized" or read "0.7%". A huge difference!
I'm kinda surprised that people didn't turn d3 into single page application framework. It has much cooler interface than most of the stuff that flies around these days in that department.
Re: Q8. Security questions are an anti-pattern and the rest are outside our mandate. I do not claim to have written the penultimate guide to password security :)

Re: Q9. Again, that's a great pattern, but is not a requirement to not be on our list.

This is linked to from the non-dev FAQ, but I'll make sure to add a section about 2FA to the dev section.

Knowing When to Leave Your Job
The last time I saw this kind of proposal, it was even simpler than this.

The work was defined as: Given the following salt, construct a payload such that a md5 hash of the salt and payload would result in a hash with n consecutive 0's.

Simple to implement on both ends, and fast enough to not impede much in the user experience but still expensive enough to limit spam. And it becomes easy to increase the work proof required - just increment 'n'.
When "I" am home recording, I am actually using the capabilities of a black box technological device purchased from a 3rd party. Are VCRs illegal now?
The problem is, it'll take years before more than Google apps and high-profile apps make use of this new design. It's sort of like the story today... there's still a good number of apps sporting the 2.3 look. So when this new release comes out you can look forward to a couple apps having the new look and feel, most apps having the 4.0 look and feel, and a decent number having the 2.3 look and feel.
Ok. I don't see a problem with that. I do have a problem with the legal system being used to prop up industry(s) that are otherwise no longer viable.

I don't know enough about this specific case to judge. But, by in large that is what copyright law has been used to do for last 20+years.
Bullshit. Regulatory spending, the number of people working in regulatory agencies and the number of pages of regulations have all gone UP over the past thirty years. "Deregulation" is a myth promoted by neo-Marxists for whom controlling the lives of other people is their reason for living.
Yes! It's driving me crazy as well.
"It's not like literature would lose anything important if HPMOR wasn't available."

It would probably lost a lot of readers, especially among young people. If you remove pure fun please reading as an option, less of them will find themselves in mood for something more serious.
I've been considering setting up my website to be nothing but a work calendar, with empty blocks the visitor can buy. I'd have control to shut down unbought blocks if I want free time. I'd have some copy on what I do best, but essentially the customer could buy my time for anything they want, and could buy it right away.
Do you really think it's being compounded like that? I hadn't thought of that.
Marxist twaddle.
Which of these (if any) are purely incidental to the current state of the V8 project, rather than being inherently insurmountable problems for JS optimization? In other words, if I memorize this particular list, what subset of my knowledge may become obsolete in a few months or years?

Live streaming is possible with WebRTC, as sites like Appear.in demonstrate. It might not literally be "HTML5" but it isn't Flash.
yup, but Go sure would be nicer if they added some good pattern matching...
I remember idle moments during soccer games I played as a kid. I would sometimes think to myself "OK, we're up 1-0. If the rest of the game goes at this rate, we will definitely win." The problem with that reasoning is the word "if".
> To me, it seems like the Court is hung up on how similar the end result is to the cable providers', even though the means are different.

Not just the modern cable providers, the historical CATV analogy is much tighter. The original cable entrepreneurs served valley communities that couldn't get OTA signals. They put up giant antennas at the top of the valley and cables from there to individual houses below. The broadcast television industry tried to destroy those companies using very similar arguments as in this case, and the Supreme Court sided with the CATV companies (Fortnightly Corp. v. United Artists Television, Inc., 392
U. S. 390 (1968) and Teleprompter
Corp. v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., 415 U. S. 394 (1974))

But those decisions were a matter of statutory interpretation, not constitutional law. Such decisions are always subject to be overruled by Congress, and that's exactly what happened in 1976 with the The Copyright Act of 1976. In passing that law, Congress specifically intended to overrule the earlier Supreme Court cases. Aereo's technology might be slightly different, but if you can't run a passive cable from an antenna to a subscriber's house which is perhaps the most straightforward possible arrangement, it's hard to see how anything along these lines is going to pass muster.

It's easy enough to blame the Supreme Court and accuse them of not understanding technology, but it is Congress that specifically went out of its way to advantage broadcast companies in this way. The fault and solution lies there.

Connecting an Arduino to PubNub in 2 steps for data transfer and signaling
That's right, and the same is true for MongoDB and Cassandra. They do not fsync on writes and they replicate asynchronously.
OH HERE YOU GO, I found that impartiality you dropped on the floor
Not sure why you are getting down-voted. I assume you are referencing the SSD forensics article that was on here a while back that brought up the fact that TRIM on an SSD can cause forensic recovery issues. Basically blocks can be cleared even if the drive is unmounted but powered on.

SSD designers developed an interface allowing the operating system (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac OS X etc.) to inform the controller that certain blocks are no longer in use via the TRIM command. This allows the internal garbage collector to electronically erase the content of these blocks, preparing them for future write operations.

http://forensic.belkasoft.com/en/why-ssd-destroy-court-evide...
Wonderful summary, and I agree with your conclusion: people should take this as the Court saying "no" to Aereo's contrived, free-riding business model, and others like it, not to new technologies that enable people to store and access content which they already own [a license to].
Uh... are you sure you didn't think of that? ;)

Anyways, for the reasons given above, it's indistinguishable. If the economy was changing rapidly enough for it to matter, well, since it can pretty much only shrink at sufficient rates to make a difference we'd probably all have better things to do than argue about compounding correctly...

But it is worth reminding people you can't do than in general, because it is easy to forget. See also the Rule of 72: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72
That's not Google's fault though. That falls to the lazy 3rd party developers who can't be bothered to follow the OS design guidelines in any timely manner.

Interesting read. Proves especially salient in the context of startups. "Good" engineers are valuable. As-is, they're not too easy to come by, but in no short supply in the Bay Area. Good engineers who know a thing or two about product, strategy or design are far rarer: "unicorns" as the author puts it. The same applies for those that can not only churn out app code but author the automation tests to validate it, then configure a CI server to deploy it to a cloud environment that they've configured. You don't come across too many of these guys and gals but every company wants them; startups, especially struggling ones, altogether _need_ them.
Yes, because you might not be the first to use that password.
I can't use iOS7 without reduced animated. I'm very happy they have that feature.
This is an interesting trend. You've got great insight into this, Rob. I think ultimately, we have a sales and positioning problem in our industry, not a productization problem. Products assume our work has a set value to every client. But they don't and we artificially limit our income potential by assigning prices before understanding value.
I think there's something to be said for not completely overhauling the look and feel of the OS every two years or so. As it stands today a typical Android phone probably has at least one app sporting the Android 2.3 look and feel. And even in Google's UI guidelines (not sure if it's still the case), they suggested providing multiple sets of icons, some that follow the 4.0 look and feel, some that follow the 2.3 look and feel, some that follow the pre-2.3 look and feel, etc.

They make it very difficult to both follow their latest UI guidelines and the older ones (because adoption rates lag quite a bit).
I think he means that Clojure and Scala require less code to get the same thing done since Java is very boilerplate heavy and verbose.
Wish the speakers wouldn't look so nervous.. of course all that flicker and frame drops during the unreal demo didn't help.
Congrats Paras
That's the perfect data, thank you.

I went looking through those 5-4 cases to see if were along the left/right line. Only 4 of the 8 had Alito, Roberts, Scalia and Thomas on the same side.

(The second had Thomas writing the opinion and Scalia writing the dissent. That's pretty rare.)

EDIT duh, that's what the color-coding was for. Oh well.
I don't think customers want to buy YOUR time. They want to buy THEIR results for THEIR business with as less of your time as possible.
Liberalism and social anxiety
Exactly. This story sounds like a violent raid by a gang of thugs. What about all those Americans that own weapons in order to defend themselves and their homes? If you're allowed to shoot a stranger violently entering your home, doesn't that mean it's totally legal to shoot those cops? Don't they have to identify themselves as cops and present that warrant first? How else can you tell the difference between the cops and a well-equipped gang?

HTML5 doesn't support live streaming

That's a very bad way of stating it. It's perfectly possible, and "supported" even though there is no "use this thing" solution for it. The problem is that you can't rely on a full solution being usable by all browsers you want to target.

Ask HN: Is there anyone who is looking to expand their business to S.Korea?
Hello, I'm a 28 year old native Korean.

To explain a bit about myself:
My lifelong goal was to become a game developer, but I was forced to choose pharmacy as my university major under my parent's pressure.
Ten years fast forward, I ended up with a master's degree in pharmacology and three years of experience in a pharmaceutical company.
(In Korea, every male citizen is required to serve two years in the army. Alternatively, you can apply to work in a scientific field for three years to compensate.)

As soon as the three-year mandatory period was completed, I had called it quits.
That was three months ago. Afterwards, I began to make game in my room.

As a result of fiddling with various projects in my spare time, I was already experienced in Python, Javascript, C++, Obj-C.

Within a month, I succeeded in finishing two simple iOS games called "Jumpy Rabbit" and "Don't Touch 2048".
Well, I'm not proud of those two games because they are spin-offs of the popular games (Flappy Bird, 2048).
During the development of my third game, I began to feel burnt out. The motivation was dwindling, productivity plummeted.
I know this is just a small setback and I will continue to make games. But I see there are other ways to make a living.

Nowadays I keep reading these successful startup articles in HN and think: "Why isn't there such thing here in Korea?".

Is there anyone who is looking to expand their business to Korea, or even localize their game to Korean? Maybe I could help.
I don't have any experience in entrepreneurship, but I'm a good learner (my English is self taught) and given enough time, I believe I'm up for most tasks.
Feel free to contact me at groquest@gmail.com

Thank you for reading.

TL;DR: A native Korean jack of all trades is looking for someone who wants to expand their business to South Korea.

Where Should You Store Your Money: Dropbox or Box?
We used to do free-space scanning on our PDP-11. Disk blocks were not cleared, so you could just open a very large temporary file and look through it.

Actually recovered quite a few people's homework assignments that way. Of course, you could also write to that file, so we had free-space sweepers. And since you could write to that empty space, you could also leave messages, even from the public (100,0) account, which had a zero permanent disk quota (all files deleted on logout).

> The answer is that everyone is going to own different robots. The whole point is that a robot is going to be so much more efficient than a human, that for less than 1/50th the cost of a median house a human could buy a robot that could create enough economic production for his whole life.

> There will be challenges, since many people live paycheque to paycheque, but ultimately a very simple Basic Income (backed on land taxes, ideally) would catch those that would fall in the cracks

1) If they live paycheck to paycheck, they aren't going to have the financial resources to drop $6k on a robot. Even the boldest "Basic Income" proponents don't expect to provide more than basic sustenance to survive. Political realities are in line with that being the level of funding it would provide people.

1b) If basic uneducated labor is valueless due to being replaced with robots, many of those people who live paycheck to paycheck are going to move down to being on the dole and can't afford robots as well. Some people will be too old to have the desire to re-learn, some won't have the ability, etc.

2) Land taxes are simultaneously a tax on renters as well as owners since they aren't based on your ability to pay [profitability]. That means they'll be passed on to renters wholesale who in turn will need a higher amount of basic income to support it.

3) Basic Income has to be funded sustainable in a way that doesn't result in it eating its own tail. That probably will be income taxes on capital + payroll which will cause everyone to scream pretty loudly.

I don't see your utopia working with those assumptions.

It's probably impossible with qsort. I was wondering, if both the sort routine and the callback were declared static, would gcc be clever enough to inline both, eliminating the function pointer? It seems like it should be possible in principle.
The #1 problem I've had in using external A/B testing platforms is that they allow flashes of the old content before the new is shown (if perhaps only for some users). We've seen huge problems with conversion when testing with those tools which we don't see when running A/B tests using server-side implementations.

If Wingify/VWO has solved this once and for all, it'd be wonderful.
If they rent access to cheap vps boxes then they are effectively buying posts at whatever rate they pay for the vps / however many posts they can get out - so making posting more time consuming also means they get less out of their vps so the cost per post is much higher.
It is Google's fault! They've completely revamped their UI what, three times by now? And that's not even considering the minor tweaks, like 2.3 going to a black and green scheme.

Couple that with the fact that it takes a good two years before the latest Android version is on a majority of devices and it's no wonder why devs throw their hands up when faced with having to support potentially three sets of UI look and feel guidelines at any given time.

If you don't want a bastardized experience, don't buy a phone from crappy OEM. Get a Nexus device (pure Google experience), a Google Play Edition device (pure Google experience), or a Motorola device (close to stock, easily rootable Dev Eds).
By statute, broadcasters can choose whether a) local cable companies are required to carry their networks [which is why public access still exists], or b) to negotiate for the rate, which lets the cable company walk away if they cannot come to terms.
I wonder if this has any implications at all for the seizure and search of phones and other digital devices by border agents? I suspect the answer is "no" of course, since they're not exactly in the justice business like the police in theory are. But they they are (also in theory) subject to SCOTUS decisions AFAIK, and maybe this decision signals a new attitude towards digital device searches in general?
You don't own media content. You own a license for media content. Your use of the media is dictated by its license.
I would argue that we already have the technological power to create more than enough economic production for every person. So then why aren't people seeing it? Because the economy is not a magical meritocracy. It is run by people; people who don't necessary feel all warm and fuzzy about sharing wealth. Every avenue of trade has gatekeepers encouraged to limit access. Collusion between businesses and corruption in government keep working wages artificially low, and taxes on the poor disproportionally high. Reality and history take issue with your casual assumption that the rich would find it easy to give poor people free money.

The critical flaw in your position is this: Any increase in personal productivity is meaningless as long as those in power can take as much as they want from whomever they want. Until this is solved, technology will never have an effect on the living standards of the average person.
