I know it's wasteful to cut the corners off LCDs to make them round, but I am a little surprised that Apple didn't go that route just for novelty value if nothing else. Would've made a nice interface paradigm with a rotary dial on the face too.

Interesting you can't imagine this, because as a woman, similar situations as Gayle's have happened to me and to every female programmer I know. I have talked about code to people at language and framework-specific meetups only for them to later assume I'm not a programmer.
How is that possible? GPS satellites are sending the same signal out to everyone, I don't see how they could possibly target a certain area.
Ask HN: Where do you upload product screencast to?
Where do you upload your screencast to? I don't want to upload it on youtube because it will show relevant videos and ads. I was thinking of using Vimeo but it doesn't offer HD.

I need to make the screencast intro video quickly accessible on the main site as soon as a visitor lands on the page and clicks watch video. I wonder if cloudflare has this option?

Also, side question. I wonder how people create those 'cartoony' animations explaining your product with Apple-esque inspirational music that seems to be prevalent.
Too bad nearly every page is broken on it (CSS wise). The only error it detected on my site was that newfangled <doctype html> declaration... The entire layout was jumbled.
The sourceforge "vandalism" was widely reported enough that while it was "reverted" prior to me seeing it live, it seems to have happened... but everything else I've seen since (which could very well not be everything... I haven't been following super closely) requires me to believe in either easily faked screenshots (the article this discussion links to mentions possible photoshopping, but it is even easier than that to just use developer tools to modify the number of total emails a site is displaying prior to screen-capturing) or 3rd party reports with no details (eg. the Peter Todd tweet where he says he got a forwarded 2011 email but doesn't really go into specifics).

So my belief is there was some kind of incident here, but it is impossible to determine exactly what the scope of it was compared to the high likelihood of a lot of follow-up trolling.
Are there any other successful examples, esp with Microsoft? Halo seems like a wildly popular outlier.
It is important to remember that PV calculations are pretty easy to do, and help bring the FU money back to reality.

For instance if Minecraft sells 10,000 copies a day (as someone else said) that is $100m a year. Assuming other platforms add up to the same that is $200m a year. At an 8% interest rate that is worth $2.5 billion assuming it continues forever. It is worth $1.3 billion if it only happens for 10 years.
If I ever get confused, I'd check one of these two:

No. Android doesn't have controls that behave very differently on tablets versus phones (regardless of screen sizes) e.g. UIActionSheet or only exist on tablets e.g. UIPopoverController.

Apple baked into the SDK what it tells developers: iPhones and iPads are different devices that need different UIs. Android doesn't have this clear delineation.
> how are you financially vulnerable if you have an asset worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

For most people, the house they own is not an asset, it's their home. Taking out home equity loan is very unwise financially, and selling it, while it will generate a fixed sum, is not only complex but can introduce additional taxes. In addition all that, the former homeowner must now find a new (rented) residence and move, and live for who knows how long on the proceeds from the home sale.
But it sure puts food on the table if you're a starving Princton economist!

>> ...truly more like Lego than video games actually...

Which is really funny considering what Lego did in the video game space - they made video games where many things were made of Lego, but there was no "building" involved at all.
Aside from the issue of the teaching methods being compared through measurements of time, can we discuss what, if anything is lost through this teaching platform? While it is not being suggested as a teaching replacement, does the lack of social engagement or the confusion on real world applications have any bearing on the way this material is stored inside these young minds? Perhaps if a portion of the lesson included participating as a group, or if the system switched from a lesson guide on the screen to a few remarks from the educator as a back in forth it may better incorporate both the advantages of technology and the advantages of a caring educator? I am curious to read more articles or research on such combinations if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thank you.

See here: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/Getting-Started-with-A...

"Once authorized by the user with Touch ID, your app receives a payment token from PassKit.
The payment token encapsulates the information needed to complete a payment transaction. It
includes a cryptogram, unique to the specific purchase, that can be decrypted with your private
key or when the payment information is transmitted to a payment processor’s server that has
your private key.
Figure 2 illustrates a typical payment flow. First the app checks that it can offer Apple Pay as a
payment method. In this example, the app needs the postal code from the selected shipping
address to calculate shipping cost and update the total amount due. When the user authorizes
payment, your app receives a payment token from the Secure Element, via PassKit.
Finally the app calls appropriate APIs in the payment processor SDK to pass the payment
information to the payment processor, they process the transaction. "

Pg 4. - The payment flow. You are asking about the payment provider. They need an SDK or API from Apple whether it's a POS terminal, or mobile device. Once they implement it they can theoretically accept payments. But will Apple allow this?
Mr. or Mrs. Brady Bunch didn't hide the fact that they had previous children or relationships. Its very possible that the father lied to the mother about having the prior relationship. Its also possible that his previous behavior had nothing to do with the divorce, and it was his current reaction.

Either way, I think the author being a geneticist should pretty much understand that if you're trying to find relatives, you might actually find relatives.

I tend to think this should be opt-in, but as long as both parties have the box checked, it seems like perfectly valid functionality to me.
At the risk of sounding old (I'm 34): at 21 you're still scratching your arse and bumping into things.

You still have a great deal to learn and you will be learning for the rest of your life. Doing technical work at any organisation, even a 'boring' one will provide you with opportunities to learn and grow:

1) You may be a brilliant coder but you admit that you lack social ability. Do not view this as a permanent handicap but rather a skill to be developed just as you would a new programming language or methodology. Working as part of a team in a professional environment will teach you to communicate and provide opportunities to build your confidence.

2) You also admit that you have 'created dozens of projects but they were all unsuccessful'. One of the key tenents of building a "change the world" startup like the one that you hope to create some day is to build something that people want and will pay for, (see the notes from Peter Theil's CS183 for more on this: http://blakemasters.com/peter-thiels-cs183-startup). Working in a real company will teach you the importance of building great products which customers want to buy. It might also teach you how you might convince customers that your product is great and that they want to buy.

3) You are fortunate that you will be able to earn a professional salary at such a young age. As mentioned in previous comments, this will allow you to enjoy life but also to put some money aside. If you want the flexibility to do great things, being financially independent is a huge plus, (Jimmy Wales talk about this here: http://www.quora.com/What-advice-would-Jimmy-Wales-give-to-t...).

4) You already have a qualification. With a couple of years of proven experience, some open source projects and a little money up your sleeve you will be in a great position to make your next move. That would be a great time to do some serious travelling or even temporarily migrate to another country. Nothing will improve your perspective more than seeing the world and the many ways in which its citizens live their lives.

Hold on to your passion for doing great things. Don't become encumbered by consumerism + debt. Remind yourself every day of all of the things for which you are grateful. And above all don't fear the path you're on: the road is long and there are still so many forks to come.
I bet Bill Gates has a hard time finding enough qualified people to wisely manage the money he is giving away.

For example, if he has someone in charge of spending money on medical research, don't you think there is a point (a few billion) where they just don't know what else to spend money on? I mean, there are only so many medical researchers in the whole world.

Of course you can always just throw money away/at people, but it won't do any good. "Give a man a fish" vs. "teach a man to fish."
A really good book that predicted this outbreak back in 1994 is called "The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance" by Laurie Garrett. She actually has an excellent chapter on the Ebola virus and explained how this disease is so virulent. Ebola mutates very rapidly.

With Apple Pay, your physical credit card number is NOT stored on the iPhone 6's secure element; instead, a token is (the token is effectively an alias to your credit card number; it looks like one too - is 16 digits, etc, so will work nicely w/existing payment infrastructure). So there's additional security there. If your iPhone 6 is stolen, you can report it stolen, and the issuing Bank of your credit card will simply invalidate your token. You won't have to worry about replacing your physical credit card. In contrast, if the merchant --- whose app you have your physical credit card number stored within --- is hacked, you'd have to get your credit cards replaced, which is of course more onerous than the former.
In fairness, and to think a little more about your throw-away joke than I suspect you intended, the 'push and forget' nature of a button as compared to holding up your hand is important in some situations.

The Software Carpentary workshops that I've worked with/seen, for example, use a post-it note system that signifies that a student has a question (or is done, depending on the colour of the note). This allows the student to continue trying solutions without holding up their hand looking for attention. When an instructor is available, they can go over and help.

The advantage of a button system, then, would be that you could gather data on which students were asking the most questions, how long they generally have to wait, etc.
The BTC address they posted has already seen over 3 bitcoins pass through it. That's worth a little.

I think the point is that lots of runners would prefer not to bring their phone if that was an option and this watch could have enabled that. It's a legitimate (minor) annoyance to carry your phone while running.
Wonder what happened? Maybe it can't handle many requests and not responding when busy. Or it crashed. The PS server did respond a few hours ago, it did work, at least for a while.
> selling it [..] can introduce additional taxes

Hmm, can you provide an example? The deferment programs are only available on one's principal residence. Sale of principal residences are exempt from capital gains in Canada.

> it's _their home_

I get that it's your home and it would be sad to sell it. It would be sad to sell it when you're 30, too.

But let's say we rationalize it as being OK to evict a 30-year-old, but not OK to evict a 55-year-old. I still have issue with the fact that:

* there's not a means test

* the interest charged doesn't match market interest, so when you finally die and your estate settles up with the government, you've paid less tax than the fellow down the road due to interest rate arbitrage

I can't find usage stats on BC's tax deferment program, which is a shame as theirs seems the most open to abuse. e.g. this CFP [1] recommends that anyone who can (i.e. is over 55) take advantage of it, regardless of financial need. Which makes sense: it is one of the few ways in Canada to transfer your personal tax burden onto others.

Not sure about that. The 5c is basically a 5 that's built slightly more cheaply, so that it fits in at the bottom of the price spectrum at all points. The 6 currently is two notches up from the bottom, and because of that it may be that Apple decided that they didn't want to dilute the 6's brand with a cheapo version.

Another year down the line when there's an iPhone 6S and the 5C has been dropped, that's when I'd start expecting something like a 6C, though perhaps it would just be a 5SC. Not necessarily those names, exactly, but something following the pattern of "Drop the bottom-end phone, replace the 2nd-from-bottom with a plastic version."
As a former minecraft player, I am salivating at this.

Believe it or not, Notch did a great job creating the game and doing a few updates, and then became totally incompetent (or maybe just disinterested) after that. Development has been at a standstill for years, despite many bugs and vast potential for improvement.

I would love to see somebody do something great with this game and Mojang does not seem to have "the right stuff."
I want a smart clock that looks like a clock not like a small wrist calculator.

Actually, wouldn't the iPad be a really big iPhone without a phone app?
As an avid minecrafter since the early days I can't help but see this as a good thing. The mod community is what has made mc what it is, but it gets no support from the developers.

Minecraft has been so wildly profitable but the company is set up in a way which Mojang the developers get a tiny portion of the profits to re-invest in development.

Notch essentially diverts all the money into his own pocket while leaving a very small staff to work on what is prob the most profitable video game franchise in history. Just from a very basic business standpoint this seems to make very little sense to me.

If someone could get control of minecraft that was willing to invest in it's development amazing things could be accomplished. Imagine big budget lego minecraft expansions, minecraft re-written in C with a good rendering engine. So many things could happen!
It seems to me that the one-trick pony nature of the gaming business is more reason to take a big payout upfront. $2bn is fuck you money for the rest of your life. Who knows if the Minecraft IP will even be worth anything a few years from now?
Looks like the issue is marked public now in the chromium bug tracker and it has been fixed for a while now in release, so I assume it is ok to link that. The ruse is not perfect due to bolding and coloring, but good enough to fool most people not expecting it, I think, if you look at the bottom part of the second attached screenshot it gives you a good idea of what it looked like:

> even if the original Satoshi steps forward ... nobody will believe it's really him

I beg to differ. If the real Satoshi actually wanted to identify himself, he'd have no trouble convincing us beyond a reasonable doubt even without his original keys.

This situation is not like trying to decide if you believe a person who says he bought the winning lottery ticket for cash but then lost it.

This situation is more like trying to decide if you believe a person who says he's a thoracic surgeon who's an expert in US Constitutional law, speaks Finnish, and can do somersaults while skiing. Ask him to explain in Finnish how to do laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

Just look at all the things that Satoshi has to answer correctly:

- expert level C++ programmer

- fluent English, excellent grammar

- deep knowledge of cryptography

- extensive knowledge of mathematics (maybe not a PhD, but he's no slouch)

- totally intimate with the original Bitcoin code

- familiar with all the history of Bitcoin (at least the history pre-2010)

- plausible explanations for all his actions

- etc.

We're talking about about a miniscule fraction of the world's population that could convincingly fake all of this knowledge and ability -- maybe a few hundred people at most on the entire Earth.

Suppose Bruce Schneier claimed to be Satoshi, then you could look at other things in Bruce background to rebuff it. (Example: Bruce was on a commercial airplane flying over the Atlantic when one of the Satoshi emails was sent.)
That's not how I read gp, exactly.
What he is saying sounds more like taking the AST of a program, desugaring at much as possible, and then re-sugaring it in such a way as to produce a consistently styled codebase, sort of like gofmt but more opinionated and linter-like.
I'm in many ways sad I stopped working regularly on Bukkit.
My involvement started to wane a couple of months before the 4 founders got acquired by Mojang, mostly because I got a Real Job.

I was there just as it was starting, and helped (what seemed like) a lot with the early dev work and community management. Mostly it was just fun hanging out with the team (primarily EvilSeph and Tahg, but of course Dinnerbone, Grum, and all the other core devs as well) solving problems, but that started to happen less and less.

I have heard snippets of what has been going on, but haven't yet really read up on it. I do know that Warren (EvilSeph) was always at the core of the project, he kept the community more or less under control and helped co-ordinate everything. It was always clear that if he ever stopped pulling the various threads together the project as a whole would stop working.

Sure, devs would be able to keep adding features and upgrading to latest versions, but the project was always more than just the plugin API and server implementation. It's incredibly annoying to manage the expectations of thousands of minecraft server admins (who seem to mostly be 12 years old, though there were definitely a lot of older admins) and no-one but Warren ever seemed up to the task.

I should probably go do a bit of reading to find out exactly what has been going on.
"The Apple Watch's relationship to the Moto 360 looks to me less like the iPhone 6's relationship to the Moto X than like the original iPhone's relationship to other high-end smartphones of 2007: obviously a lot of shared DNA, but trying to address the same problem space in a measurably different way."

That's precisely the kind of wildly overambitious project without obvious mass appeal that a large game publisher would never ever support.

Which also described Minecraft, of course. But I doubt anyone making decisions at Microsoft would take that gamble.
I noticed OP has asked similar questions in the past and it just shows how the problem hasn't really been addressed properly.

I've been working on Catalist to solve this exact issue and that too, for teams. The premise is that by having your checklists, pipelines, and notes all in one place you can actually have full context of what you need to do. It also makes it easy to take a shot at visualizing productivity through additional signals like time tracking, general activity, and more.

A simple upvote does not express my approval of this comment strongly enough.
What he wrote is "statements that are semantically absolutely identical but differ in just the 'sugar'". I was just quoting him back. Of course, one can always construct various hacky approximations to this, and maybe that's what he intended, even if it isn't what he wrote; I couldn't possibly tell.
I am well aware of that. My point is, in some sense, the exact opposite... the fact that some people like you have it to a very minor degree shouldn't result in researchers having to half-apologize for trying to find treatments for it. Autism runs from barely-present all the way to total incapacitation and institutionalization... the idea that researchers have to defend themselves from people for trying to help cure it is crazy. The fact that they may or may not cure it someday, or mitigate it, or change it, none of that affects the humanity of the individuals, or who they are, or is a denial of anything about them, or anything like that, and I sincerely hope nobody ever so much as stalls a research application as a result of logic like this.
