Yeah, but then I can fit a kayak and two bicycles inside it. And still get more than 20MPG. Which isn't near as much as I'd like, but for when I can't bike to somewhere (not going to tow a kayak on a bike) it gets the job done.
Oddly, the only cars I've ever had were minivans. Got them off-lease from a family member.

Maybe because cuboids are harder to open with a can opener? All the cuboid cans I've seen have tabs on top and thus don't require can openers. It's conceivable that tab-opened cans are more expensive, don't preserve food as well, or something like that.

This appeal reminded me of HipChat's situation with Messages for Mac, and the similar (but better responded to) action they took [0]. It doesn't look like Bolt did anything to lay claim to the name, and they probably don't want to go up against Facebook's lawyers. Besides, they only support Android at the moment, so to any iOS user, Bolt is completely new (and, likely, same for Android, but at least they had potential to know the product).

I don't buy that this three-guy operation has the means for such litigation and this post gives no indication they've had any consultation with a relevant legal professional thus far.
I was hoping that I could say: "Yes, I like Radiolab" and "No, I don't like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me", but that doesn't seem to be a feature. This would be perfect if they added it!
Same here, on all counts, but that's what makes it noticeable to me. When I'm already over the speed limit by 5-10 on the freeway, aggressive passing, like I'm holding up traffic, is very noticeable.
You mean our tools that are designed specifically for cylindrical cans wouldn't work as well for cuboids? :)

I agree, but if cuboids were the norm, I'm sure we'd come up with a better tool for them.

Expense may very well be a factor, but if that's the case, I'd expect an article like this to mention it.
The apps themselves are marketing channels of their own with cross promotion, social network sharing etc and word of mouth.

Paid advertising is not possible when you make 70 cents per sale. It costs more to advertise a copy than you make from a sale.

A way around this is to increase your lifetime income per download, which is where IAP comes in, which is where candy crush etc show the way.

If Apple don't want the store to only be that, they've got some work to do.
Must be some small agency there, not really representing "Russia"

Cans of soup are definitely not spherical for space-efficiency. They're spherical because from the assembly line to shipping to the customer, they simply work better. They handle dents well, they roll along assembly lines fluidly, they keep the orientation of the product labels, they're easy to inspect for quality, and they pack and unpack well. Obviously they also stay put on a shelf...

In terms of dimensions there's several factors to consider: label size, stacking efficiency and directional integrity. If you want a nice big color photo of your product, a taller, slimmer container will allow for a large color background and plenty of text for both the front and rear labels. Depending on if it's skinny or wide will determine how other products can be stacked around or on top/below it. And some foods (like tuna) keep their shape/consistency better when laid horizontally to prevent from breaking up while being transported. Similar foods hold together better when the pieces are larger, so larger portions of canned fish have the typical vertical orientation. And of course there's only so much horizontal space that can be allocated per unit before the shelves burst at the seams.

For sealable cuboid containers, more and more containers are being modified with grippable edges to make it easier to handle, since the customer doesn't use the entirety of the product at once (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81W3JCB8tHL._SL1500_.j...). Resealable bagged containers are also becoming more popular, as they reduce the amount of air in the container, pack more efficiently, save weight, and are easier recycled. (http://www.gofoodindustry.com/uploads/members/comp-1509/file...)
The trade off, besides the stress points, is that a can opener would not be as efficient. That is mentioned when the author moves on to the cylinder. Furthermore, not mentioned in the article, a cylinder will support much more weight than a cuboid, making a cuboid more susceptible to smashing under load.
Ask YC: Why was the WIRED tech gender gap article killed?
WIRED recently put up a post doing interviews with female founders discussing their issues with raising rounds, it was on the front page around 10 minutes ago but when I tapped "comments" it ended up going to a dead page. Here's what the link used to be: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8096988

Why was the article removed? It was a decent read, extremely related to the topic, and I was interested in reading more comments on it.
The assets valued in economics allow me to make a judgement on how an economist is likely to view , say , dieting.

With that judgement in-mind, I may be more likely to follow the instruction or believe the idea the economist is saying rather than someone else like a drug-addled rockstar or an HIV infected addict.

The information the economist espouses, however, will surely be thought of at a lower priority than any information accrued from a medical doctor, dietician, or fitness instructor.

Considering the opinions of 'non-experts' does not raise flags for me, at least.
Can you share any details on how ownCloud is used within your organization?
I don't have a big problem with banning his dev account from the Play store. I rather dislike the fact that all of his other Google accounts (Wallet, buying things on Play, Music, etc) got banned as well. That's exactly the kind of thing that makes me wary of actually ever making an Android app in my own name.

It's not just you. It's an annoying trend. Perhaps it's good for phones and tablets (that's arguable), but I don't think it's good for mouse input. At least this landing page (NPR) has optional buttons on the right side, unlike most pages I've seen like this (Spendee). It's turning "mobile first" into "mobile only", and I am being dragged kicking and screaming into it.
Were they actually "caught", or was it simply determined that the level of sophistication was something that could only have come from state-sponsored malware (a claim I find dubious at best, but whatever)?
As much as I love the 3D printing revolution, I feel like we all collectively skipped a step - most parents and teachers I know would just be ecstatic to have a 2D cutter plotter for the purposes of cutting out silhouettes of letters and the like.
That's just bad business. It's like the MPAA and RIAA suing their customers. In the short run you can bully a few independent people but, in the long run, you are eroding your user base -- or developer base in this case.

I consider the apps in question fair use. Now, I've never read google's TOS but, then again, neither has anyone else. You'll notice that the op was working with the system to try to understand its rules. That's the quintessence of what a hacker does. It seems to me that google is making themselves vulnerable to an open app store. One where you can experiment and collect user feedback before committing resources to a project.
Random orientation is the key, "pretty good kinda aligned face out" is very fast and cheap both WRT labor and capital, and label alignment on the can is not a cost at all.

On cuboids the label alignment is beyond critical (even just randomly off center 1/4 inch on the shelf would look awful) and the capital cost to align the cubioids perfectly in their box and on the shelf are expensive.

(edited to add, I'm not saying our economic system would collapse if the cost of cuboid soup cans went up three cents a piece, but it would be an incredibly difficult corporate sell to convince one mfgr of many that he should accept a 1/3 of a million dollar loss compared to his round competitors on ten million units sold just to make them cube-ish, for, uh, fun)

Also wear in the box. Cuboids would tend to wear off entire faces of the label while being tossed around the warehouse but cylinders at worst will end up with a vertical streak.

Finally having worked retail as a starving student a quarter century ago there is a huge installed base of semi-standardized grocery store shelving that was never designed for the peculiar spacing cubiods would require. Or rephrased, cylindrical cans and rectangular prism boxes have evolved over decades to fit certain semi-standard discrete shelf configurations... If you want it on an American supermarket shelf, then a grid pattern of X by Y (preferably one shipping crate) will take up a certain discrete space. Not a quarter inch too big necessitating reconfiguration of the whole section, etc.
I'll have to see how this actually works, but it's not clear that the news itself will be tailored to the listener. For example, I might pick "Science News" and "Arts News" but not "Sports News" and I don't see that as putting myself in an echo chamber. If the categories were "News for Democrats" and "News for Social Conservatives", then that might be a concern. Also, NPR is more than just news. I regularly listen to NPR programming that isn't entirely aligned with my own world views.

The alternative you suggest would be better for a tiny number of highly sophisticated users, and a lot worse for most people.

Also, I see no reason both shouldn't exist. Why not make the thing you want?
OK I can't find any tests. It also disturbs me when people "open source" projects without any real revision history.

Also is it true that https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-server hasn't been updated?
Assuming the rockets are reasonably accurate and targeted to do the most damage possible,

I'm saying this hesitantly, because it has the potential for things to go off the rails into a flame war, but the rockets are very inaccurate -- literally hitting the side of a barn would be a good strike. Damaging them probably reduces the chances of them hitting a high-value target by a few percentage points, but they have no targeting systems on board. They are flung in a general area, and landing in place X or place Y in that general area isn't too much different.

There are also significant psychological factors at play.

Dear Bolt.co,

I truly wish you luck in your fight against Instagram. Name stealing is a rough game. I know because I have been traveling on Bolt buses for 8 years now (http://www.boltbus.com/). I know there is some confusion because you have basically the same symbol. Maybe there aren't too many ways to vary a lightning bolt shooting through an "O" in the word "Bolt" but I welcome you (and Instagram to try).

Sincerely,
A bus rider.

I imagine most of the local fees go to very tactical things like keeping the transmitter on, which is non-trivial. Not that streaming should exclude local affiliates from funding, but it should be the local channel's responsibility to handle the cost of things it can't share (transmitters, office space, staff, etc), and share or get money for content and such which it can share back.
It is "the" functional package manager for GNU OS. But it's only "a" functional package manager, as there are others that also deserve consideration, like http://nixos.org/nix/
So using YouTube's API to use other people's content isn't using other people's content? I don't follow the logic there.

Yes, he was not banned simply because he used other people's content. He was banned because he was using other people's content to create low quality apps which (even if unintentionally) imitated official applications. Taking someone else's content and serving it up in a way that looks like it's official is just asking to be banned, especially when the thing you're imitating is YouTube and the app is on the Play store.

If someone is, for all intents and purposes, spamming your app store with imitation apps, why should you waste time giving them a "polite human touch"? If this had been a Chinese company rather than someone with a sob story would you still expect Google to offer a polite human touch?
I think we can surmise Instagram is not going to change the name of their new product just because this company wrote a blog post.

They will need to compel Instagram into doing so.
Me too, so what is best practice?

I put together a simple layout for my company's blog and made this link very explicit specific, see: http://blog.vidoyen.com

Is that more in line with a blog reader would generally expect? I'm genuinely curious, because I've seen variants of this comment time and time again on HN.
I worked at Placester for a couple of years and built the system that imports data from real estate agencies. When I left last year, we had coverage with around 90% of the MLS's in the US. Most of what you say is right, but some clarifications and context:

You don't need to be a brokerage to get access to the MLS feed. Each MLS has their own policies for how you can display the data, what logos, size and text needs to be shown on the page with their listings though. Which means it unrealistic to build Zillow/Trulia site off of MLS data. Placester builds them for individual real estate agents which is significantly easier for keeping the MLS happy.

Some MLS's are great and will give you access to the data without much hassle, others are not and you have to pay a lot of money. Even once you get access, you will get almost no technical help or useful documentation on integrating with them. Since MLS's are almost never related, you still need to talk to 300+ different companies in order to get coverage of the US.

There is a standard that most MLS's follow for their data, which is called RETS [1]. I would say about 80% of MLS's use RETS, the problem with RETS is that it's a standard in the same sense that CSS was a standard 10 years ago. The original library I wrote for RETS [2] is open sourced, and is littered with examples [3], [4] and [5] (to name a few), of inconsistencies across RETS servers.

If you can work through all of that, you're golden. It took us about 1.5-2 years to get the experience of seeing how MLS's work in order to simplify the integration process down to 1-2 days, with RETS typically requiring no (or minimal) engineering work.

Yeah because I'm sure the T&C is only a page or two long, not like say 50k words.

https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/about/play-terms.html

The idea that you should have to scrutinize that entire document to determine what you did wrong is crazy.

Ostensibly someone on the Google side of things determined what he did that was not OK right? I mean they don't just ban people for the hell of it right? He had to do something SPECIFICALLY wrong, and that might correspond to some portion of the T&C. Is it so unreasonable to ask WHAT section you're violating?

I get that everyone on HN thinks the guy is a douche and deserves what he got. But to refuse to even say what? That's douchey too.

Moose is very clever, but all that cleverness has a cost.

One of the things I like about Perl is that it offers tremendous performance, in addition to having an actually-useful debugger.

Subroutine calls in Perl aren't free; in fact they have a significant performance penalty if overused. And that's exactly what Moose uses, in droves.

Making Perl act like Ruby will also make it as slow as Ruby, and as difficult to debug.

The term "big data" stands for the nature of the data Contactive stores, which comes many sources. Most of this data is unstructured and unorganized, and we are able to structure and index it.

Every time we get new data, we have to compare it with the existing set. This is done in realtime..

So, the fact we have 600+ million identities ready to be queried is the result of having a much bigger dataset were all the non-matched-yet data is stored.
This piece makes little sense to me. There are no "hidden systems" that freeze time or stop anyone from changing their mind. In fact, politicians routinely contradict themselves in public! For hilarious evidence of this, just watch John Stewart's Daily Show.[1]

PS. If you're ever accused of contradicting yourself, just respond with the famous quote often attributed to John Maynard Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?"[2]

> If I was Instagram I would probably offer a small sum to Bolt.co to change their name on the basis that I could offer a sum now or know I could have a deep reserve of budget for legal fees to argue that Bolt.co has not developed sufficient goodwill/reputation to be entitled to prevent Instagram's usage of 'Bolt'.

What? That is not at all how trademark works.

If Instagram wanted, it might have a shot at a protracted lawsuit, attempting to make it not worth Bolt's time to defend the trademark [0].

If that were to happen, though, I would hope that the suit would be dismissed with prejudice because in my non-legal opinion, any reasonable person would agree that Instagram is directly infringing Bolt's trademark in an area of business that is too similar for the average consumer to be able to differentiate.

[0] either by bankrupting them if they decide to defend it, or if Bolt can successfully mount a defense, it would require a large time investment by key employees like all the C-level executives, meanwhile Instagram (having more resources by far) is not impeded in its business nearly as much.

What was funny to me was that the author claimed, "Ah, those are just silly, throw-away apps I developed for my kids and friends." at the start of the article, and then jumped to, "I dedicated $500,000 worth of my efforts on these apps!" later on in the article. Well, that escalated way too quickly ....

Also, what is that statement that amounts to "Nobody uses Android in San Francisco"? I found it pretty ridiculous ....
That's a problem with bundling services under a single account, not with the closed-ecosystem part. For example, GoDaddy suspends all your sites when you get a DMCA takedown to any single one of them.

I suppose you could offer an app in addition to an RSS feed, but honestly I've never encountered someone who didn't know how to download a podcast.

If they are primarily worried about people having trouble downloading podcasts for whatever reason, it seems like they could have saved themselves a lot of work by just contacting some of the biggest podcast apps on the market (BeyondPod I think is the biggest) about making it easy to subscribe to this particular feed. They could make a custom-built plugin that just installs the feed, they could potentially license a special distribution of the app that has the feed pre-installed.

Fragmentation of the audio listening market is really not justified and is not really going to help anything.
