Please skip ARMv7 and jump straight to ARMv8 for Raspberry Pi 2. No need to force OS/app developers to support 3 different ISA's for years to come.

Ideally it would also be dual core and have a clock speed of at least 1.2 Ghz, since that's what most operating systems need these days to run reasonably well, but I guess that depends on your target price. 1 GB of (LP)DDR3(L) RAM should also be the minimum for the next one.
It would be interesting to know what the VC pitch for this product was. It's absolutely a cool product, but there are some hard problems to solve there, so it's a mystery to me why one would on top of that start on the difficult consumer market.

(As a consumer myself, my immediate reaction is that a battery operated deadbolt for my door is far, far down the list of gadgets I lust for. It's so far down the list it's not even on the list. The ability for a third party company to operate my door lock is even on the list of things I'd pay to avoid. I just imagine there to be a nest of insurance liabilities there and I wouldn't want to touch something where that wasn't worked out first.)

At best if this product really worked out, you'd have a small company selling thousands (not hundreds of thousands) of units to consumers with all the support liabilities that entails. Not something that usually thrills investors.

Normally you would see such a company start out with high margin stuff where installations are built on a case basis anyway.

To make it more concrete, here's an example:

Step one: Decide that the app is your core product. Start working with an existing electronic doorlock system.

Step two: Sell to offices. Maybe hotels. A flashy app could very well be enough to tip potential sales in your direction. Develop functionality where the app gives you an edge (could be integration with AD, useful revocation, whatever).

Step three: Either get acquired by a giant in the business ("profit") or spread out to alarm systems. Those are ugly and hard to use. Use this leverage to get a foot in the notoriously difficult consumer market and grow from there.

The underlying ideas here are that existing players in this space are notoriously bad at software, and that you should stick to use cases where electric locks or sensors are already in place and play off that.

But perhaps this niche is already taken by Nest and that's why they went for this particular consumer niche? I don't know but it would sure be interesting to read a future post mortem analysis, if things turn out that way.
Yeah, I don't think there is a conspiracy. I think you are full of it.

edit: see, that was a critical thinking.
"Standards compliant format" can be misleading. Sure, an app might give you a zip file of CSV files (which is as 'standard' and 'humanily readable' as you can get), but that doesn't mean you'll be able to import it into another tool/software. The data model could be completly different.
Not my repo, but there are some open source tools there. Under load testing it has Bees with Machine Guns ( https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns ), which is MIT licence.
You'd also need to account for loses in transmission for each technology, the cost of infrastructure, and maintenance.
The ONLY reason I've ever put eggs in the fridge is because my fridge has an egg tray...

I tend to put my shopping in similar places as where the supermarket had put them, so things I buy out of the fridge go in the fridge at home, and things I buy at room temperature go into my pantry at home... except for the eggs, they go into the egg tray in the fridge!
I've used one for real time artworks in a gallery via OpenFrameworks.
Isn't this true for pretty much any media analytics tool?
i would look at this from a different angle. If i can grow a company till its IPO, why would i sell. for me the most realistic scenario is that RelateIQ had a very high customer acquisition cost (CAC) and they were not sure they can get out of this high CAC before the money runs out.
> When i look others who take the phone out, unlock it, read message and put it back, this seems so annoying in a meetings.

This is more about behaviour. If you're in a meeting with someone continually taking out their phone to check emails or messages, then they surely need calling out on it.

I'd probably say the same to someone who is continually looking at their watch.

"Are we keeping you away from something?" is the question I'd be asking.
Why don't you cool down, henrymercers comments are some of the more intelligent and reasonable comments in this thread. If you would read calmly you would see there is no racism in his words, he is simply not being racist. The word 'legitimate' does not restrict the meaning of the sentence to anything you imply.

Though I agree that his paragraph about decadency through the ages is a bit nutty, everyone has their strange beliefs. Nothing wrong with that.
Convergence of modern C++ and Lisp
still of the opinion that this is not a problem to solve with algorithms but with just doing your god damned job and accepting that some of it is mindless chore work and that it requires some basic level of attention to detail and skill.

my software doesn't leak and it doesn't take forever to develop and its easy to debug memory problems because the architecture is trivial.
Isn't it a little strange to explain a square function by analogy to O(n^2) algorithms? As in, if you understand big-O notation you should already know how powers work.
Making a window into the past of MUDs could be fun but quite hard, I think (unlike olduse.net for example)
Slow and proprietary, which is not a great combination... there's a lot of interesting new ARM SoCs from China that are coming out, like the Allwinner A3x series (quad A7s, >1GHz). It would be pretty unlikely for one of those to show up in the next Pi though; if anything, it'll probably be another Broadcom.
This is why I don't believe in the idea that "more money is needed for education". The system is obviously extremely bloated, and needs to be revamped before we even begin to think about giving them more money. It's our tax money after all. We shouldn't just throw money at anyone who screams "we need more money to do better".

We need to first look at what can be changed so more money isn't needed. when all of that has been evaluated and the changes made, then we can start thinking about whether we need increased education budgets or not to increase performance.
Most basically, a school that frequently teaches useful-but-not-tested material will, all else being equal, produce lower test scores than a school that sticks rigidly to the tested material.

I'm not sure this is "gaming", proper; but if this focus on the tested material prevents a teacher from enthusiastically expounding on something (s)he thinks is especially fascinating, I'd count that as a loss. Because having enthusiastic teachers is great.

(Of course, standardized testing has benefits, too - I'm not sufficiently informed on American education to have an overall opinion. I just wanted to point out that there are ways to test better that don't improve education.)

How did you come with that? That's non sequitur.

As far as I know, no country outlaws merely scanning a list of recently ran applications. And article in question only talks about that, not storing, sending or whatever - actually it has completely no idea why Origin's accessing that UserAssist key.

If you insist - please, name me a country where, for example, it would be illegal to locally access (one again, not send anything based on that to a remote processing or storage system, that's another story) your contacts for a piece of software on your phone that had forewarned you it will access your contacts?

There's (almost) no permission systems on desktop, but there are other means to convey that information. Here, I'm considering EULA as not a legally binding piece of text, but as a part of documentation.
OS X for my editors, browsers, and VirtualBox. Vagrant for managing the VMs that my work actually runs in, with varying versions of Linux. Gives me lovely window management and polished apps and utilities (plus great integration with my phone and tablet), but all the power and comfort of a linux commandline for work!
I'm very confused about the purpose of this. If it's just taking advantage of the Translate API so you don't have to use the browser app, I can see the convenience of being able to, say, write a local script without having to munge through API docs and get a Google account and so on. However, I'm confused about it being branded as a language learning tool...
That's outright cheating and fraud. Any test can be cheated if you look at the answers beforehand. "Gaming" means figuring out flaws in the way it's tested and then doing lots of that. In your lines-of-code-added metric, "gaming" means adding and removing lots of code. "cheating" means hacking the database with results and changing the values.

I currently live in Manchester and it's gonna cost me a fortune to get down to London on a train.

There is the possibility of a coach down using Megabus but was wondering if any fellow HNers are coming from Manchester and would happy to share transport in exchange for contribution to travel costs and better discussion en route.

I guess this also applies in general for anybody else coming from different parts of Europe to organise transport!

I believe I've seen quite a few studies that shows that the longer workdays the fewer work produced per unit of time. I can't seem to find them right now so take it with a grain of salt, but it sounds like longer and fewer workdays would not be desirable from your company's point of view in that case.

What I personally would like to see it how applicable these results are between jobs. The jobs in question here are quite unskilled such as caring for the elderly, and are physically demanding. What works for them might not work for a programmer for example.
The problem is that arguments are often ambiguous without the accompanying function declaration. (And the problem's exasperated when there are lots of arguments.)

The solution is named arguments, but I'm not convinced the added complexity of this solution is a net improvement.

Ebon Upton [0], one of the main folk from the Raspberry Pi foundation works for Broadcom and does SoC. So odds are slim considering that connection probably enabled them to get extreme price arrangements otherwise not doable.

There are roughly a billion ways to "download stuff from the internet in certain time intervals", but if for some reason the machine needs to be physically present, and dedicated to that task, then a Raspberry Pi is probably the cheapest way to do it.
The Danish poultry farmers have been working extremely hard to eradicate salmonella. They do have some small insentive though. If you can prove that your countries chicks do not have salmonella, then the EU allows you to ban import chicks from countries that cannot make the same guarantees. This frees Danish poultry farmers from competing with German or eastern European farmers. The same laws applies to eggs, so throwing huge investments into figthing salmonella pays of in the long run.

Food safety in Denmark, and the rest of Scandinavia is a huge deal, but it's expensive.

For people saying they want a faster revision - do remember there are other computers in this form factor. I recently got an Odroid U3 and am very happy with it. Of course, it's $65, not $35. I tried setting up owncloud, nginx, a web server, etc. on a Pi and it couldn't handle it (everything ran, but terribly), the Odroid does well.

I still like the Pi, though. There are some people for whom saving $30 really does make a big difference, and if the goal is learning how computers work, having lots of GPIO pins, etc, the Pi is still awesome.

Chicks for Geeks
Some thought about writing a book with dating advice for geeks, in their own language and mindset.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L76RRVQ

Subtitled "A guide into dating, math, karma and the illusion of free will", it's full of programming metaphors for dating, analogies with differential equations and dynamic systems. It lays out a hands on for tracking the "process and state" of your dates.

Unlike other dating advice/PUA/NLP books, it has a light, funny, fail-fast approach to things. Without losing focus, it encourages guys to look at the big picture, so as to see dating an entertaining game rather than as a task to be completed to get laid.

That opinion is terribly short sighted. Cingular/AT&T/Verizon was very late to the mobile data revolution, globally speaking. The market would have developed the same way without the North American carries on board. Which they hardly were. I seem to remember quaint rules against tethering at the time of the iPhone.
It was an exercise in quirky branding on my part - http://bvckup.tumblr.com/post/3283335299/how-bvckup-got-its-.... To my excuse it was almost 5 years ago, long before using "V" in place of a vowel became mainstream. And, in retrospect, I should've picked something a bit more pronounceable.

In Svpply and Svbtle it simply stands for "u", which is a deferral to how Romans would've written it.
Check out the zsh git hook described in the docs. Every time you do a commit you can see and hear its message translated to the language that you would like to learn. I find it useful when learning french now since I do dozens of commits every day.

Perhaps it's because I haven't configured my notifications well enough in the first place, but I think my smartwatch has saved me a reasonable amount of time in the last few weeks simply by allowing me to dismiss and ignore non-critical notifications without reaching for my phone.

> Actually I'd say the x86/PC is probably one of the best-documented and most stable platforms out there to learn on at the moment, precisely because it has been around for so long.

Unfortunately, that also means there's a lot of inconsistency, conflicting advice and outdated code that beginners take for granted. It's quite annoying.

Windows has a Guest account that automatically resets the profile when logging off, erasing any software keyloggers etc. Likewise you can look at processes using Task Manager or Process Explorer.
Likewise, I've witnessed a reversible variant of SHA-1. They must have somehow messed up the break condition because it essentially only did one round.
VPNs aren't as much of a pain as you might think. I like Cloak on OS X and iOS (https://www.getcloak.com/). Or some home routers even come with VPN servers built in.

Short of a VPN, HTTPS Everywhere (https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere) and maybe something like Little Snitch (http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html) so you can tell when non-browsers are attempting to connect to non-HTTPS sites.

"It seems that the influence of your teacher has been to give you a false idea of what are worthwhile problems. The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to. A problem is grand in science if it lies before us unsolved and we see some way for us to make some headway into it."

That is very good advice. You could replace teacher with your corporate manager and science with society and it becomes relevant to everyone working on a normal corporate job or a start-up.
In Hungary we either refrigerate them or not. In most houses there is a "cool room" ("kamra" in hungarian) where we keep food which are not so sensitive to the lack of refrigeration. In the dorm we don't have that so I just put the eggs in the fridge.
Some important programming paradigms are extremely hard or near-to-impossible without GC. See functional or concurrent lockless programming. Sure, for many imperative programs you can get away with simple memory management schemes like RAII.
"Fantastic" may be overstating it. I've been running Raspbmc for about 15 months now, and although the video rendering is very good, the XMBC UI is a bit laggy and unresponsive (although there seems to have been an improvement recently). I've also used it as an SFTP client and to run a few light cron jobs (rock solid there).

Given the price, I am pleased with it, but I wouldn't recommend it as a media center for the non-tech savvy.

See, my problem with this idea is the inaccuracy of Google Translate's translations. For Romance languages, the results are questionable enough (I'm also learning French at the moment, and anything more than simple sentences can be hit-or-miss); for non-Romance languages, the sentences are just hilariously bad. A sentence as simple as "Hey, cowboy where is your horse?" is translated into Chinese as the slightly mangled 嘿，牛仔是你的马在哪里？ according to the project's README. (To non-readers of Chinese, that 是 should be replaced by a comma.)

(As an aside, I got the strangely reordered and even more ungrammatical "哎牛仔哪里是你的马？" when I tested it myself in-browser. Talk about unreliable.)

Your hypothetical situation cannot happen due to a combination of trademark and copyright law: you can't redistribute Cydia Substrate, nor could you attempt to dilute my branding or somehow accidentally ascribe fault to me. On Android, Cydia Gallery was designed (very poorly) to temporarily serve the purpose of Installer until I determined whether or not it was a good idea to bring the whole stack of Cydia over.

Again, your strong separation makes it sound easy to compete with Cydia separately from Substrate: what you are describing is weaker branding, because it takes two things that are only not tied together due to happenstance of technology but which are intrinsically tied legally, economically, and even user-experientially, and separates them into two things that suddenly look like you can replace one but not the other.

You then talk of people thinking Cydia is "just a store frontend for APT", but that's what "Cydia" is in your version of the branding: Substrate is some entirely separate thing, leaving Cydia alone to be compete-able with. You make it sound like separating them solves this problem, but them being accidentally separate is what caused this problem in the first place: you have the entire scenario backwards :/.

Again, it is only in the last year year that I've gone out of my way to attempt to fix the branding between these two things that previously the user community accidentally saw as highly separate, with "MobileSubstrate" being this thing that maybe anyone was allowed to use and "just some weird backend thing" and pulling it into the forefront as the development tool that embodies the end-to-end platform that is Cydia.
It does mean they're covering maybe 60-70% of the UK's market (where this pan is sold) - gas use is very prevalent in the UK due to historically having being cheaper than electricity.

I don't see where it looks like there are fins on the inside, and I disagree with your insistence below that it must for heat-transfer reasons - the fins are (relatively) thin, so I'd estimate no point on the inside of the circumference would be several centimetres from the [hot air]. Besides, part of the point of the fins is that they capture heat from the air. Without any math required, if the fin is a reasonable conductor, this means the air is hotter than the fin, which is hotter than the inside of the pan. Where fins join the pan there's a large surface area capturing heat from the air going to a smaller area of pan, compared to gaps between fins where the area in contact with the air is approximately equal to the area of inside pan.

In Atlanta's case, yes.

It revealed just how bad education was and is in Atlanta and most likely most city schools. So bad that instead of removing bad teachers and administrators they simply cheated.

The sad part is that when attempts are made at fixing these problems all that is thrown back in the face of reformers are the accusations of racism and bigotry.

States should take control of all school systems within their borders and there should be no such thing as teacher's unions. Nepotism and union thuggery have doomed more children to middling educations if any than racism or bigotry.

NCLB like the follow ups by the current administration were handcuffed attempts to fix a broken system. The handcuffs were that you could not remove unions over teachers and you could not interfere in certain districts because of race
