I'm sure you wouldn't have bothered with the project if you didn't perceive it as being a better approach. I'm just ignorant to what the advantages are. Is the bridge really unstable? I hadn't noticed that with my admittedly limited exposure.
Sorry that the best I can do is a sympathy upvote. Anyhow, yeah, once a company starts treating customers like that, I stop doing business with them, as I also did with Sony.

The sad thing is, though, that sometimes they buy up the good name of decent companies, as happened to Speakeasy (now Megapath), who was once a wonderful company before succumbing and earning a ban.
In that case, I'm sorry about being dismissive.

I should have looked deeper into it. I assumed it was just another accordion and didn't get why it was newsworthy.

It's good work, and you should be proud of it :)
Can I publish a link to this page on my website? Or is this link now illegal in Australia? What about a link to this HN submission?

This is ridiculous. Unfortunately, authoritarianism is the norm in Australia; we are the quintessential nanny state.
I don't think you need the phone to control it while you're riding; rather it senses the amount of assist desired but how much you're pedaling. The phone is just used to give it a general idea of how aggressively you'd like it to assist overall.
For scenes with large amounts of free flowing money, you could print the notes backwards and flip the film.

Unfortunately this is usually going to require flipping the actor, creating an even worse problem. A man wearing a suit, for example, will suddenly have his jacket buttoned right-over-left rather than left-over-right, wristwatches and jewelry will appear on the wrong hands, and so on.

Of course, mistakes like this show up in movies all the time, but it's professionally embarrassing and would reflect badly on someone if it was a regular issue in their work.

Different denominations seems like the best solution, but that's still a problem waiting to happen to the unwary art director/continuity supervisor.

10 Amazing Things You Can Do With Long Exposure
They put it in, but expected it to be reverted quickly. They thought they were just vandalizing, not 'making history'.
Nonsense. Which jurisdictions? None of the jurisdictions that value law and order have a complete shutdown of news over rape trials.

This is political censorship. What's next? A ban on any political corruption trials on Australian politicians, especially the prime minster, because it could destabilize the stock market and cause a loss in confidence in the Australian Dollar, causing billions of dollars in potential damage?

Money is not more important than what is right.
They are very convenient when working outside at night. They also increase security because there is no cover of darkness. If anything is out there you can easily see it.

I walk outside at night all the time and it's nice to have it and certainly not blinding. Especially if you are more than a few dozen feet away from it. And no one has any good reason to be out there at night anyway.

Cities and towns are way worse offenders in this. Hundreds of lights at much higher intensities. Even parking lots and empty buildings get illuminated like its day time. It creates enough light pollution to block out the stars even. And it's payed for by taxpayers.

Numbers to prove success is possible? There are numbers that show inherited wealth peaks and then declines, there are numbers show that most who have multiple billions of dollars earned their money (as opposed to inheriting it), but I don't think it necessarily matters.

Most individuals aren't entrepreneurs, most are content to work for someone else on a hamster wheel and blame their lot in life for their lack of success.

So I have no doubt people who grew up wealthy or at least well-off are more successful, since their parents taught and showed them that success is possible.

If you grew up in a household where your parents ran the rat race and told you that success is to get a degree and run the rat race, odds are that's what you've done...
Often a court is the same judges as another court, so the proliferation can be illusory. For example, justices of the High Court recently sat as the Court of Disputed Returns in that WA Senate cockup.
Facebook is blocking a critical article from being posted
There's an article on FastCompany about a change to Facebook's Android mobile app permissions:

http://www.fastcompany.com/3025589/fast-feed/why-is-facebooks-app-asking-to-read-your-text-messages

The app is now asking to see your SMS messages, and the article discusses some of Facebooks recent privacy issues and how this change might be viewed skeptically. However, if you try to post a link to this article on Facebook it is flagged by their malware detection system. Other articles from FastCompany post without issue, so it looks like Facebook is explicitly blocking this article.

You need to swap the labels. The buying site gives you a label to put on the box so that they can keep track of who sent what.

It's been a long time since I studied, but as I recall it the Federal Court is not superior to Supreme Courts. They are the lower courts for Federal laws. Appeals from either to the High Court is where the commonality comes in.
Ask HN: Low quality app installs killed my game's momentum. Will you look at it?
I used AppBrain to market my Android app. They charged somewhere between 40 and 60 cents per install. The app was rising up in the Play Store for the keyword I'm targeting - 'live blackjack' - but once I stopped using AppBrain, it dropped back to an invisible #28.

A lot of these AppBrain installs are uninstalling it faster than they installed it. I know this kills any game's search engine position, because Google tracks retention / uninstall rates. Now, my install rate has flatlined, and my uninstall rate is looking like a hockey stick.

If you'd be willing to install my game and give it a try and maybe a review in the Play Store, that'd be incredibly helpful. I spent months building it all myself and hate to see it get dropped in the rankings like this.

“Police stuff, for instance, is something you’ve got to be careful with,” says Bilson. “If it’s too real, you’ll have issues.” For this reason, prop houses make themselves accessible only to “bona fide motion picture entities,” which must have $1 million insurance policies on file to merely rent out something as simple as a ten-dollar police badge.

Alarmingly true. I was cast as a prison guard once for a film which was being shot in a recently decommissioned jail. I used to smoke then, and every time I went outside someone would come up and ask me about visiting hours or some other prison-related question. I thought the outfit was obviously fake but most people don't look at the writing on the shoulder patches or the exact kind of badge someone is wearing as long as you're in a uniform and have the relevant props.

It doesn't surprise me at all that people would attempt to spend fake money. I've seen people try to spend bills that were obviously made on an inkjet printer.
Well, the dnsmasq I can use for other things. I think I read on the Arch Linux BBS it would improve performance and speed, but I am claiming empiricism on someone else's behalf which is the descent into a badly administered computer.

The blank page serving is one parth aesthetic, one part performant. It looks better, and also certain Javascript items (for instance very persistent stuff like Google CDNs and the other players) time out even with this sometimes. Without, many pages would take ages to load with timeouts in HTML, CSS, JS, you name it.

So, it sounds like we are in a similar boat, so I thought I would let you check out my rig. I tried to get into uzbl, but Conkeror and LuaKit were more my style. I kept adding and removing LuaKit, because there is something I feel at home with in Conkeror (I think it is the Xulrunner/Firefox core, so I have been deploying custom kiosks in computer labs with auto-login and heavily modded Firefox instances with crazy user-pref for ages now).

Of course the mileage of others will vary.

The hierarchy has branches; the Federal Court isn't above the State Supreme Courts in any meaningful sense. Appeals from a State Supreme Court go to a State Court of Appeal and don't touch the federal system unless they are ultimately appealed to the High Court.

Thanks for all the feedback and advice! I do appreciate everything everyone has to say about the game, and plan on incorporating ideas in a future update. I've given the color mixing a lot of thought, and I agree it can be unintuitive the first time you encounter it, but I think the additive color model is core to the gameplay. Perhaps my nerdy love of science is misleading me from what the average player would enjoy, but I'm trying to simulate the way light really does mix - because, well, it's a game about light. Perhaps I could add the option to play with a more traditional color mixing scheme?
I'm curious to know of the actual numbers you are referring to.

I am not convinced you are wrong. However, I am also far from convinced you are right. There is a lot of faith in "work hard and you can become rich." Especially if you are trying to imply this can get you "multiple billions of dollars."

Now, I personally think "rich" begins well before "multiple billions." I also don't think the world is split between entrepreneurs and people content to work for someone else on a hamster wheel. Truth is, as in many things, it is much more complicated.

So, yeah, do you have any good links to the numbers you are referring to?
If you get the urge to stop paying Amazon, it shouldn't be hard to figure out what you're paying them for.

The publishers and record labels are doing the same thing they were before - curation and editing. The book printers & CD burners are out of the mix, but they were never that expensive anyway. There are still fixed costs associated with a book (editor) or an album (studio time), not to mention the marketing costs.

Are they worth 35% of the profit? I don't think so. But probably more than 0%. I personally think it should be 70% author, 20% publisher, 10% Amazon.
Wow, it means a lot to me that you still remember the game from back then - thanks! :)
The law is a mechanism, not a policy.

Her Honour made the order according to law in her best judgement. You might not agree with the Commonwealth seeking the order, you might not agree with her reasoning.

But it is very silly to seriously propose that you've found a Hollywood-villain judge who is being deliberately evil.

If you don't like the decisions judges make, you need to talk to your MP about getting the law changed. Then the judges will make different decisions in accordance with the updated laws. That is how our system works.

I'm not sure there's a single objective standard for 'what is right.' I would be reluctant to accept economic stability as an argument for secrecy, but I would be equally cautious about the possibility of injuring another country's stability. diplomacy and transparency are often at odds, but I don't think that's a negative quality of diplomacy.
Thank you! Before I released the game I started prepping myself for the inevitable negative reactions, but it can be hard not to take things personally. I appreciate your kind words :)
Read the story of how it came to be, it was marketing. Keep in mind also the name itself is a huge reason for this.
Yeah, one would think that a widely infringed patent was a good signal that it was already obvious to those skilled in the art, but the patent bar seems to have this fantasy where people are reading patents and cackling gleefully stealing all the ideas from them. So they see it more as "massive business opportunity" than a signal that the system is not providing the alleged benefit to the public.

And to be honest, from those I've discussed it with, they are largely concerned with monetization and don't give a damn about any sort of public benefit.

How is this true in any sense? Adding a frame around a YouTube channel is basically an RSS reader.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree 18 months is a very long time to be working on a project. A lot of the time was spent on level design, and I did learn so very much while developing it that I think it was worth the time put into it, even if sales don't turn out to be great. Next time I make a game it should go much, much more smoothly, though :)
It's running on a $10/month 1 GB memory/1 CPU droplet on Digital Ocean. Nginx is letting the websockets connections through to Node.js, and I'm assuming Node.js is what would crash first.
The publisher can always sell directly as an unencrypted EPUB and MOBI (works on Kindle) to the consumer and set their own pricing and percentages.
It appears to have been made under Victorian jurisdiction, which happens a lot because of their suppression laws. Strictly speaking, they can't prevent publication in other states, but they can punish anyone or anything in Victoria. That's why an order made in Victoria will stop the major media.
10% is far too little. Amazon is R&D'ing and manufacturing tablet/e-reader devices, handling payment/currency, and all the dirty work necessary to get the device in the hands of the customer in the first place.

3x 10,000 hours experience required? That would have the average age of a successful indie developers being something like 50 years. Surely not.

I understand the negativity but all these are small productions given persistance and experimentation I think jazzychad eventually will make a profitable game - as far as I can see he has the skills.

I read crunchbase for King a couple of days ago - it says: "We have more than 180 fun titles in 14 languages". Leaving their hit / failure ratio at what? 5 out of 180. And that is for company that does nothing but casual games.

It wouldn't be for iPhone. For Android it might work but you'd need a hardware platform you trust (one where you are sure no radio baseband processor is going to snoop at your memory any time it wants), use AOSP and then an open source app. Then also if there are any registration or routing services those would have to be open source as well.
>But it is very silly to seriously propose that you've found a Hollywood-villain judge who is being deliberately evil.

"Hollywood-villain judge who is being deliberately evil"?

There are tons of corrupt judges in most countries, including a huge percentage of judgdes that function in favor of this or that political party. It's utterly naive to think that a judge that rules in favor of a multinational / government etc because of interests (from being appointed by said government to direct bribery), is so uncommon as to be a "Hollywood-villain judge".

For tons of openly blatant cases (some proven in court, and some bringing down whole governments), study the history of places like Southern Europe, Latin America, Africa, etc. (It's not that it's uncommon in the west -- they just do it with more finesse and hide it better. Or, sometimes not, eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal ).
I specifically fly Delta because they fly out of a terminal in my home airport that doesn't have the backscatter machines - just the metal detectors. There's never much of a line and I don't have to go through the hassle of opting out for a pat-down.

I would definitely make it a point to patronize airlines which made convenience and smooth travel a feature. Every time I travel, I sacrifice multiple hours for each direction sitting in an airport because I have to allow time for TSA incompetence. 95% of the time, I'm through security in a half hour, but sometimes it takes two hours if they have the moron squad working the x-ray, so I have to assume that every single time I travel.

If airlines were competing for my business on the basis of "consistent screening times" and "low-hassle screening", I would be delighted.

You're missing the point. Even when the spying is used in "bad" ways, it's better for the spying to be accurate. For example, rather than randomly throwing students in jail for searching for the wrong library books, they'd only be jailing real dissidents. Of course it's wrong to do either, but if they're going to do it, everyone is better off if they do it right.

Books aren't video games. People don't collect them. I don't consider a game I don't finish to be a failure, a waste of my time. I do so a book.

Despite Amazon's talking points, they are relatively price inelastic. Perhaps, right now, they aren't, since people are still dealing with market novelty, but over the long term, time is a bigger sink than money, when it comes to books.
"Call routing information, like all metadata, can only be protected legally not cryptographically."

A counter example of this is seen through ImperialViolet's pond(https://pond.imperialviolet.org/). Using pond, neither metadata nor content are leaked, as both are transmitted over tor every set interval.
Even though it's a state issue, I still wouldn't advise an Australian resident to post anything, even if you're not in Victoria.

"Unfortunately this is usually going to require flipping the actor, creating an even worse problem."

No legal problem, though, I think. As making stuff continues to get easier, this solution gets better, though probably still not practical. And of course as making stuff gets easier we'll eventually need a different kind of approach to counterfeiting.
Still sounds like a net positive to me. Arguments against widespread surveillance are pretty much always founded on the assumption that the surveillance will be inaccurate. If it's only being expanded because it's accurate, the only problem is ideological, not practical.
Lack of demand for 4K screens

I think this is a really awesome idea, the only thing I could see going very wrong is sustaining an active user base large enough to afford the server and development costs. The reason I say this is because you'd be looking for a relatively niche audience, a gamer who wants to learn a second language, which I don't think is necessarily a big portion of gamers out there. A lot of gamers like to just enjoy a game and grind. I think it would maybe work better as a single player RPG, or something a long those lines. I would definitely play an RPG to learn another language if it was done in the ways described. But, maybe that's just because I'm a fairly solo gamer.
