If you are in AWS there is also the four RDS (Oracle, MySQL, PostresSQL, SQL Server) options as well as RedShift. Also the best thing about AWS is that there are so many third party choices e.g. MongoLab, MongoHQ, Instaclustr, Cloudant.

Your argument doesn't work for the analogy, because the viewer is simply paying someone to do the physical work required for the viewer to remotely watch his own stream from his own antenna. It's like the difference between setting up a cable card and Internet stream server yourself, and hiring a tech guy to come to your house and set it up for you.
Right now, I'm wondering how anyone gets any sensible results out of Google Display Network advertising at all. I had my first and, for the foreseeable future, probably last experience with them recently.

Despite running ads in a style that worked well on other ad networks, using highly specific terms to target the site's niche audience, for a site that generally gets excellent engagement once people find it, there was literally 0% engagement from GDN visitors. Not a single person so much as visited a second page, according to Google's own statistics.

It turned out that most of the ads were being shown on pages that seemed to have little if any obvious connection to any of the targeting terms. The top referrer even had the small print, low contrast, keyword spam at the top of the page (Viagra, payday loans, that kind of stuff) that I thought everyone gave up on years ago. And Google had the audacity to charge us for that traffic.

Our solution is simple: We no longer have an AdWords budget, and we've cancelled all our other Google-related to-do items in favour of various other on-line channels.

It appears you are correct and Wikipedia cites confusion surrounding this issue. Donate away!
It does mean that they are unemployed. Merriam-Webster defines unemployment as "the state of not having a job". Its very binary: you either have a job or you don't.

You have mistaken bureaucratic doublespeak for English. I think it clear we are speaking in standard international English here. Letting the US government redefine words such as "unemployment" to mean something other than "the state of not having a job" is something straight out of a dystopian novel.
Somehow I doubt it, at least if the purpose were solely to delete evidence when taken to a police station.

Having an app that deletes evidence when removed from safe areas (e.g. home, work, the commute path, etc.) would probably pass muster though, since there are many purposes for that which would not involve destroying evidence that might pertain to a legal investigation.

> Wait, do you not see the difference between a one-time transaction with a third party that installs equipment they neither own nor operate and that has nothing to do with content, and an ongoing service relationship with a company that both owns and operates equipment that has everything to do with content?

I don't see how that difference is at all relevant to the analogy. Is it just because one involves repeated payments? Would it be legal for Aereo to charge a one-time fee instead of a subscription service? Or is the problem that Aereo owns the property where the physical antenna resides? Does my personal antenna+streamer have to reside on property which I own directly? What if I rent my apartment? Heck, my Internet connection is a subscription service, and I neither own nor operate any of the Internet equipment myself.

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Google Music Contract?
Seek Partners, Not Prospects
“There’s a higher expectation of privacy when you are in your home.”

Though I agree with the sentiment, I suspect those who are using Google Now are already giving Google more information that Nest will. For example, Google knows when you get home, having Nest know that also is barely of any more value. Google (can) know(s) what you are watching on TV, the recipes you search for, the music you're listening to, etc. etc.

If your friends are using Google Now, it's likely that they can be tracked to your house when they come and visit.

Of course, it may be the DropCam acquisition which makes us take notice of this. What data from DropCam will Google get through this deal? Will they have the image and time of everybody who comes to your door?

The difference between CATV and Aereo is that Aereo leases you exclusive usage of an antenna, instead of retransmitting the single stream to a large audience (i.e. a public performance).

Google APIs as Custom Polymer Elements
There are thousands of scammy websites trying to game the system. It would be very hard for Google to keep on top of it, even if they really wanted to.

There is also the issue that Display ads are 'old school' interruption based advertising. They are never going to get the same sort of engagement and conversion rates that well targetted Search ads get.

Also I guess most of the websites with good quality content charge advertisers direct, rather than getting chump change from Google Display ads.

Well when working with entities/objects you are not really getting more efficient at the cache level than an array. As seen in this example with array parsing.

Make sure to use simple arrays when you want to store some data, it's not just in C but it will work well in other languages as well including javascript, php, python, perl, etc

I agree - the dicta in this case sends a strong signal that SCOTUS will likely closely monitor any citations of this case as precedent for aggressive application of the Copyright Act. They are also sending a message to the legislature that there may be issues now arising from the language of the act that require clarification (not that Congress is likely to act on the message). I'm a bit disappointed in the outcome, and agree with Fred Wilson that this likely pushes innovation towards hardware operated and installed by the individual to address the issue, but, as defeats go, this is a reasonably encouraging decision.

> The Fourth Amendment was intended to keep the the Founders' business interests secure, and prevent, say, search and seizure of Samuel Adams' smuggled goods.

The Fourth Amendment was passed after there was ever a threat to Sam Adams's goods (indeed, how they can be "smuggled" when they were fully legal under Masschusetts law?). The reason the Fourth Amendment was an Amendment and not already in the Constitution was because the Federalists (predominantly from New England) felt the Constitution already covered those rights implicitly (luckily for us, the anti-Federalists forced them to pass a bill containing specific rights).

Where Sam Adams comes into the Fourth Amendment is that the new Americans resented the old writs of assistance that gave British customs officers incredibly wide powers to search (and even seize IIRC) anything they wished. So the Fourth Amendment removed that concept completely by directing that any unreasonable search of a person or their house, papers or effects much be done under a warrant that was specific in nature.

I don't know where the libertarian meme that the colonial Americans were fighting against government or the law came from. There were many reasons they fought, but you can look at the Declaration of Independence for a good overview as to the why. But in short, they fought for their rights as Englishmen, not against the idea of law or order.

The debates that did occur about government occurred about things like the balance of power between state and national government (c.f. the Tenth Amendment), not with the idea of common law (which the new nation adopted wholesale from the U.K.) or of government (which the colonists had been practicing on their own for more than 150 years by then).

> Well, dude, no, actually you can overdress for an interview and you just did.

I can think of two reasons why someone would dress up for a dressed-down interview:

(1) They don't yet understand the social terrain they've entered well enough (particularly salient: people with class/cultural backgrounds underrepresented in tech).

(2) They're conscientious enough to go through the trouble of dressing well for an interview in order to signal they care about getting hired.

So that's some of what you're selecting against when you reject a candidate for failing the "go-out-for-a-beer" test: irrelevant cultural differences and conscientiousness. Bizarre.
Could it have been anti-Google SF gentrification protests? Or was it specifically about Google's power?
Define "maintain". If you mean "pay the guy who installed it to keep it in good working order", there's no problem. But if you mean "pay the guy who installed it to record everything that comes off the antenna then set up a commercial service to redistribute that content anywhere in the world to a device of your choosing" then it's a probably illegal. On an individual basis it's also pretty inconsequential, so as a practical matter, it's not a concern.

But if you were the owner of a big enough building and were also charging people for the wire service to their apartments - and beyond - it gets more problematic. Indeed, a variation on this is what the Supreme Court ruled against decades ago. And if you do this on a truly industrial-sized basis (as Aero did) then expect the hammer to drop.

It's completely accurate. It already takes into account federal taxes, medicare, and social security witholdings. It does not take into account 401(k) deductions. It also assumes no copay on insurance, which is the case at many tech companies.

There's already a setting they lets you turn off ads. In any case, revenue from those ads is probably incomparable to the data-mining which they can then use to show you ads elsewhere.

Because advertising typically reinforces a products quality. Why would you try a no name brand when you buy Heinz who is the leading national brand.

If you have a vending machine selling Coke, Pepsi and Joe's Discount Soda, you're going to go with Coke or Pepsi.

Personally (here in Canada) I prefer the Noname brand baked beans over the Heinz brand due to the Heinz brand over using the hickory flavouring. However, this is because I grew up in the UK and the Noname brand in Canada tastes exactly the same as the Heinz Baked Beans formulated for the UK market.

I actually continued to buy Heinz Baked Beans for a couple years before I finally gave in and bought one of every brand to get one that tasted like I was used to.

If it wasn't for the advertising I would have likely bought a different brand of beans within a month, not within a couple of years. Why? Because Heinz is the best, surely the others must taste worse! Since then I always try the store brand and lesser brands

I wonder why it isn't. I'm in Montreal, and startups are definitely in the air. The advantages Montreal has I can think of are:

* A VERY high number of students per capita. At least five major universities, plus many CEGEPs
* It's not near Waterloo. I imagine much Toronto talents gets sucked down to Kitchner-Waterloo.
* It's the center for French talent. English talent in Toronto has other places to go, if it wants.

Example that happened to me yesterday: a colleague asks me for a piece of information that I know I can find in a book at home, but I'm at work. I snooze the email so that it doesn't fall at the bottom of my inbox, and so that it gets redelivered when I'm home and can access the book.
In the first hour of the Google I/O keynote, a protestor interrupted the presentation, calling attention to an eviction complaint related to Google’s head of eDiscovery, Jack Halprin.

An hour later, a second protestor shouted, “You’re all involved with a company that builds robots to kill people.” The complaint is thought to be related to the Google’s recent acquisition of Boston Dynamics, which makes military-grade robots.

This ruling was not specific to the use of stingray devices, those are still legal to use if they have the proper warrant. What's illegal with stingrays is lying about where the information came from on the warrant or in a trail. No surprise lying to a court will get you in trouble.

This ruling absolutely will have an impact on the relatively widespread use of those little memory dumping devices that cops love to use in routine arrests and even traffic stops in some states.
Well I'm arguing that determinism implies there may be a conscious you, but there can't be a you that has choice. Anyway, I think I see what you are getting at and can accept that as a philosophical position even though I don't hold it. It has to do with the partly arbitrary line defining you. It also seems you are suggesting we look at the world from two different angles - one that is purely deterministic and one that has the concept of you and your choices, their results etc.

Excerpt that made me think HN-ers might find it interesting:

The project, titled Before & After, originally came to Honig while she was working as a social media manager for a small startup. Her boss introduced her to Fiverr, an international freelancing website where anyone can hire freelancers from around the globe to complete almost any task imaginable. While browsing the site, Honig realized the prevalence of those offering Photoshop skills. “It immediately occurred to me that in this pool of workers, each individual likely had an aesthetic preference particular to their own culture,” Honig told BuzzFeed. Thus, the idea for Before & After was born.
