> As the size of our hands hasn't changed, how can a 4.7 inch phone now be perfect when previously 3.5 inch was deemed perfect? Here is one reason: as the devices become slimmer, your thumb can reach farther than before and hence cover a larger screen.

Well, I'd say most of the problem here is trying to identify a two-dimensional screen by a single number, the length of its diagonal. It must make more sense to give the actual dimensions of screens.

I remember pained discussion of the Nexus 5 saying the 4 was wide enough. The 5 is only wider by a couple millimeters, but is significantly enough taller that they bumped the single number identifying its size. That's no way to communicate.

The article's "one place" claim will confuse those who don't understand evolution. It's like saying that all algebraic equations are the same because they all have equals signs. It's true, but it misses the point that the equations surrounding the equals signs are all different.

The "one place" being described is "fitness", but to any number of environments in constant change. It's like saying that all women are alike -- they aren't men. It's a meaningless claim masquerading as meaningful.
> If patients had the ability to know expected prices beforehand, market forces would work to bring prices down.

This would only really work if it were legal for hospitals to compete on price and for better/cheaper hospitals to expand and capture extra business thereby driving worse/pricier ones out of business. Which it's not. In any other industry if local providers provide crappy service at ludicrous prices you can open a competing service across the street and steal all their customers. And companies do just that - you get competing gas stations and competing burger joints right across the corner or across the street or just down the street. But hospitals generally need to PROVE their entry to the market WON'T harm the existing players, or they aren't allowed to open or expand facilities. Which means no price competition, no price wars...and no transparent pricing.

It did not. And what's more annoying is the way he puts it: I KNOW WHAT STEVE WOULD HAVE DONE. I, a big nobody compared to a CEO that's worked for Apple since 20 years, know why he got it wrong. Now I'm gonna tell you what I would have done.
This is the worst bullshit. Critique is great, and you can pull it off brilliantly even you are a little dot compared to the big guys you're criticizing. This is clearly not the case.

About the customization: there's two version of the Watch, one big, one small. The rest is fashion. Apple knew, better than anybody else, that you need fashion to sell something that stays on your wrist and everybody will see all the time.
Deem it superficial, if you want, but that's reality. Once again competitors couldn't do something similar, because they may have the tech. This time around even the ecosystem. Unfortunately the don't have the best team of designers (not merely industrial designer, designer in general) a company has ever employed.

Honest initial impressions from my quick glance. This guide is confused. It reads at times like an informal conversation... lots of exclamations. That's pedantic, the real confusion comes from the target audience. As a programmer, I want as little cruft as possible. Get me to examples and how this differentiates from C. As a non programmer, teach me the basics of types and logic.
From that thought, it's failing at both. As a programmer, stop talking to me informally and redefining types as one liners. As a newbie, you're explaining basic shell constructs as if I don't know, then trying to sum up strings in a one liner.
I know it's an early draft, and I know Steve is an awesome dude. My advice - figure out your audience or else break into two guides. Be terse with me, be overly explanatory to a beginner. This now seems to sway on both sides of that line, and likely will frustrate both groups.
Marketing guy here, once cleaned up that will be a massive 'trust' improvement. Though I'm a little confused, you seem to have a proxy scanner on one page and a kw tool on the new site... what are you doing? If your focusing on search volume and KW cost, Google have a very good tool for this so not sure why I would use you? I cant see a USP.

In general, the new website will help but probably less than most people think. The most important thing for a product is distribution channels until they build their own brand. For a product like yours (either) you need to get a view on what your expected customer life value is, what margin you expect to retain and then look at distribution channels you can fit. An obvious one is Adwords. Test using social as a knowledge point. Also look to resell your product via other seo 'experts' as you might get fast recognition through this.

I'm not kidding about the distribution focus. As a young marketer I was so concerned about a perfect website and content. Experience has taught me I will take a weak product & sale point coupled with good distribution over a great product/website with weak distribution any-day.
It was a relatively quiet patch in the warring , but a quick look at Wikipedia shows a fair few conflicts during that period including fighting internally against native Americans. Civil unrest with military action, landing troops to protect foreign interests which included shelling and shooting. It all depends how you define armed conflict. I'd say soldiers and guns = armed conflict. Others would say that a declaration of war was required. Have a look at this Wikipedia list of military actions - it may not be outright war, but it wasn't peace. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_mil...

What is this open web thinggie with applications behind closed doors that I never get to see?

Google is just yet another big corporation that no longer needs to pretend to be the open source champion.

Likewise Apple is no different from the good old days of Mac OS. The openness that started with NeXT acquisition is long gone.

Open is only good as long as it sells, there is never the idea of making a better world for consumers just because it feels right or something like that.

Zeef has an interesting business model for online publishing, http://zeef.org/2014/04/04/traditional-curated-advertising/

"As a blogger you can select an advertisement that matches your content. It is proven that people are better in selecting information than machines. By using curated advertisements, your visitors engage with your ads, instead of being spammed ... click through ratio (CTR) of a curated ad is considerably higher than Google AdSense (1500% higher)"

I've read http://startupbeat.com/2013/09/19/featured-startup-pitch-zee... but don't understand the division of curation between a publisher and zeef link/widget editors. As a content publisher, would I be using an existing widget or creation a new widget? If the former, how would revenue be shared between the publisher and widget author?
But the program being discussed is (of course) GNU cp. That program is not in any way designed for, limited to, or intended only for, use in Linux.

So what Linux supports and doesn't support in terms of memory management really has no bearing on what GNU cp can or cannot do, in general.
Yes, iPhone 6 4.7" 64GB Gold.
Yes because I'm on a yearly iPhone update schedule. If I miss a year, like three years ago with iPhone 4, I risk too much depreciation on the phone. This way I can sell an iPhone 5 (my partner's) for some good profit, give her my 5S and get the 6 for almost half the price, since the original price of the iPhone 5 is well amortized. Same thing next year.
yes if that feature was introduced this way, I would have been like "Ok now I want my entire family to have iWatch"
I had considered doing something similar (to avoid roaming charges). I'm very happy someone else did it for me!
Single precision is about 2.5x faster than double precision on current GPUs (for matrix multiplication, which is compute dominated). It really depends on the application, but in my experience more often than not the only reason you are using GPUs is because you want to squeeze out every last ounce of performance. In these cases, single precision makes a lot of sense (assuming you're algorithm doesn't depend heavily on 64 bits of precision).

Within the neural nets community, single precision is almost always used (at least on GPUs).

> It's interesting to note that you don't need a cerebellum to move or think, but the loss of it impairs both. Contrast this to damage to your motor cortex which can result in paralysis.

This strikes me as akin to saying that you don't need a GPU to perform graphical processing, but not having it impairs your graphical processing capability. The brain wires itself throughout a human's development to take advantage of the specialization of its components and their parallelism.

Damaging an adult's cerebellum once those connections are in place would be the equivalent of removing a GPU before trying to play a game that has been developed to rely on it.

At least that's my simplified analogy drawn from my admittedly imperfect understanding of how the human brain and computers work.

The public perception of evolution misses out on the depth of scientific work being done these days. Two more books that make modern evolutionary research accessible to the public:

1. Nick Lane's Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life - Covers the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, why it's such insanely chance event, why multicellular life depends on it, almost as an aside making a great argument that complex multicellular life is extremely rare in the universe. Also has a couple of fascinating chapters on how the interaction of the mitochondrial genome with the nuclear genome influenced development of sexes and sex.

http://amzn.com/0199205647

2. Nick Lane's Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution - Covers very different material and again all fucking fascinating. It's amazing to see how things like sight have evolved over and over and over because they're so fucking useful, and the genetic analysis that allows us to pick out each separate emergence of a feature.

Forget non-free CUDA runtime, there are larger problems with the CUDA toolchain with respect to free software. The actual instructions executed by Nvidia's chips are pretty much undocumented. Nvidia provides great documentation for PTX, which is essentially assembly for a virtual GPU. All tools to convert PTX to SASS (the actual instructions ran on GPU) are proprietary and undocumented. Nvidia does this because it gives them much more freedom to modify the SASS language as well as the chips themselves. The existence of standards-free SASS code (and no open source compiler that can target SASS) makes truly open source GPU computing on Nvidia hardware impossible.
As for binding, yes, you can come up with similarly looking examples, but they are different in essence: Erlang has pattern matching, while Prolog has unification.

I'm a happy user of iPhone 5. As an iOS Developer I can't see much of a difference between my current phone and iPhone 6/6+. Let's have a look at the new things that it has:

- larger screen - 4" is just enough for me;

- better camera - nice to have but not a must, moreover, it seems slightly protruding;

- barometer - don't need it really;

Price in Europe - 900 euros for 64 GB version without contract.

If I can get iOS8 on my old iPhone 5 then I'll stay with it.

I think selling your startup will not benefits you even you have to spend more time to make it more good. Selling and doing a new business takes alot of time and money also.
I can answer this. We are working on a do-it-yourself SaaS tool that marketers can use to create mobile engagement campaigns like incentive-based mobile contests, games, surveys, etc. To create one, marketers currently have to rely on developers and designers which can cost them a lot of time and money. With our tool, marketers will be simply able to pick a ready-made campaign, customize with content, rules and difficulty levels, and simply publish it in a matter of minutes for a fraction of the cost. We are actually working on a demo video as I write this and hopefully you'll be able to see it over the weekend. So keep your eyes open.

It may be helpful to create a diagram of all possible permutations of photo-sharing apps (persistence, symmetry, synchronicity, transformation, augmentation, distribution).

New startups could then self-identify, e.g. as Type 27. This would free up time for investors and consumers to focus on other differentiators like branding, design, PR, etc.
Doesn't work on my Retina MBP either, but it works on a connected regular res monitor.

The problem appears to be that it maps 2x pixels to "normal" 1x pixels as output. So all the measurements are scaled up 200%, with the top left corner as the origin.
As others have commented, CRC32 or CRC64 being "weak" in a cryptographic sense doesn't mean it's not suitable for detecting disk errors. x86 has a crc32 instruction, making it far faster than any other option. By the way, TCP doesn't use CRC32... it uses a simple additive checksum.

Ask HN: How to make photography fun again?
I remember enjoying photography. I took my DSLR, go out and shoot something spectacular. I was getting girls out for shooting, socialized. It was fun. But now it is gone. I'm irritated by a boatload of photos that just sit on my computer. It seems that the fun part was mixed with the boring one (file management, backup, sending photos to people) and it killed my love to photography.

Hi Walterbell,

Thanks for your comment and question. To answer your question; you can either create your own widget or use an existing widget, in both cases the publisher gets 100% of the revenue. From the widget you can also click to the page the widget came from, giving the curator traffic to his or her page, which in turn could result in revenue directly from clicks from the page. If you have any more questions let me know!

I am working on an iOS app that lets hackers meet up with each other and have lunch.

I moved to San Francisco from Bangladesh last year and found it tough to meet other hackers. Being rather introverted, tech meetups didn't really work for me. I felt that a one-on-one meetup would be ideal. So that's what I'm building.

I'm hoping to launch within a few weeks. If it sounds interesting to you, you can sign up for an email notification when I launch, just go to hackerlunch.com. I'll probably do a Show HN once I launch as well.
The "one place" that they reach is the same level of fitness. This is surprising because they expected some strains to take different evolutionary paths and evolve different traits, and therefore have different levels of fitness in the end. Some would be better than others just by chance. The probability of the same mutations happening in all the samples is very small.

Instead they all seem to converge on the same fitness. Even though they have different mutations.

For internet companies, profits are nearly meaningless. Profits are just a financial game these companies play with Wall Street, moving investments from one quarter or year to another by playing around with amortization and other financial tricks to hit EPS targets, a metric that only makes sense for Coca-Colas and GEs. Revenue is what matters, and the $7.2 billion in revenue Yahoo generated in 2008 leaves plenty of room to hide $90 million over four quarterly earnings reports.
