Are you sure? If I need to make a change to a document, but I'm sitting in a cafe, the computer I have with me is the best computer. I'm not sure one can universally say one machine is always better than another. I will edit video on my smartphone every single time, not because desktop video editing is worse, but I can be finished editing and have it uploaded before I would get the files imported into Premiere.
Next Week: Webinar with Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg – How Google Works
Honestly I'm hoping for a 4" screen or smaller. Maybe it doesn't exist. And though the screen is 0.3" smaller than the Z3 Compact that ZenoArrow mentioned, the One Mini is taller and thicker, and only slightly narrower.

In the same ballpack though, so I'll need to do some digging and find out how the cameras and all that stack up.
What does this mean for me?
As someone involved in the space it means:

* Docker isn't going away anytime soon
* All the big IaaS and PaaS players will be re-positioning to incorporate
* That the pin has been pulled on the future acquisition

They are becoming too big to be solo... and I'm thrilled for their team.
Without other tools (e.g. PGP) email is not a secure communication medium. Any email can be intercepted from any server or router it passes through between sender and recipient. This weakness has nothing to do with compromising the password of the recipients' accounts, it's a fundamental flaw in the design of email.
RDP app on Android from Microsoft works great though with this Nexus 9 I would hope they allow you to change the resolution on the RDP client side.
OK, it's architecture vs OS, but I get the point. Thanks for the clarification.
A New Credential for the Tech Industry
That makes the proposition largely unfalsifiable. That is---and this is a very minimal report---we can't know if someone who momentarily stopped shooting would continue.

However, continuing to extrapolate from this report, neither police (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_v._Garner) nor civilians are allowed to use lethal force on someone who's ceased threatening and is simply fleeing. If a case cannot be made that the threat was still there, guy who shot him should have been charged.
I was a fan of the magazine and subscribed for the first two years, largely on the strength of the inaugural issue focusing on war. In a way I think they kind of cheated with that issue because it turns out that there is a huge amount of compelling writing and art on the subject of war -- massively more than some of the late subjects they chose.

Particularly the "money" issue seemed amazing superficial. As in most of the extracts were just various ways marveling at the concept of fungibility.

(Or maybe I don't appreciate it because I'm not as smart as Lewis Lapham.)
The speakers are in the right position. Your obviously holding it wrong.
Yes, and recall that this was one of the key problems that Jobs fixed when he came back.

Bigger iPad=Air, but smaller Macbook=Air.
Bigger Macbook=Pro, but bigger iPhone=Plus.

When the iWatch comes out, it'll get worse.

Yes, remember how hard they went after Gizmodo because of it?
This is the personal site of Evan Doorbell, who was one of the big phone phreaks in the 70's along with people like Mark Bernay. He recorded all the old telephone sounds and put them into different series where he explains how the old telephone system worked.

His "How Bell Became a Phreaker" tapes are where I first encountered the genre of "Hacker stories that start at the beginning." and it's still one of my favorites even though it's incomplete.[0]

I'd like to see them keep the 7" tablet size also. I bought my wife a 7 and it is a great size to pack away for flights and traveling. Just generally a lot easier to pack around.
Peter Thiel on monopoly and competition is inspiring. Just in case you missed this
Why not PAKE?

"The SRP protocol has a number of desirable properties: it allows a user to authenticate themselves to a server, it is resistant to dictionary attacks mounted by an eavesdropper, and it does not require a trusted third party. It effectively conveys a zero-knowledge password proof from the user to the server. In revision 6 of the protocol only one password can be guessed per connection attempt. One of the interesting properties of the protocol is that even if one or two of the cryptographic primitives it uses are attacked, it is still secure. The SRP protocol has been revised several times, and is currently at revision 6a."

You can salt/password manager/email retrieve on the client side however you want to strengthen you passwords or escrow keys without needing to share state with third party services at all. And they never get a copy of your creds. The server side can easily rate limit guesses per account, report access times, and/or require CAPTCHA challenges.

> leaks

I always had a love/hate relationship with the "one more thing" approach. When Apple has a real blockbuster product to reveal, it was a lot of fun. But sometimes it was a big letdown. I remember when they introduced the v1 Apple TV. It felt half-baked.

I think Apple has done a better job managing expectations going into new product releases. I haven't feel the same "let down" feeling in a while.

(Not saying this particular leak was intentional, just an observation)
Interesting. I wonder if the current Ebola outbreak is going to lead to major, lasting changes in how people greet each other.

The Best Procedure for Lower Eyelids
If you are in need of surgery on your lower eyelid, you may be familiar with the term transconjunctival blepharoplasty. This is a procedure that produces a more natural look, hard-to-notice scar, and lower chance of risk than other procedures of its kind. Surgeons are familiar with this procedure as the best choice for lower eyelid surgery.

http://myrontanenbaummd.com/blog/why-transconjunctival-blepharoplasty/

This approach is minimally invasive, which means it is least disruptive to the delicate tissue surrounding the lower eyelid. It is also more direct, increasing precision and allowing surgeons to exercise their skills without having to deviate due to unforeseen factors. When it comes to surgery on the lower eyelid, a transconjunctival blepharoplasty can give you the results you are looking for.
What would anecdotal examples reveal? Seems more likely to confuse the question.
Anybody found a way to force it to display in English? I'm in France at the moment so I can't even read the text on the site. None of the usual tricks (?hl=en, etc.) work. No links on the site to change language or redirect.

Seems silly to have to VPN into a box in the US just to read a website.
Do you use other data to correlate locations that might have different offsets at different times? (EG; slightly pressurized buildings with forced air circulation or vehicles in motion?)

Or are such offsets too minuscule to notice?
Apple finally admitted that bigger phones are better. Looks like Google is finally admitting that 4:3 is the right tablet aspect ratio.

I'm kind of curious what the secret sauce is that makes Google think they are ready to sell a premium-priced tablet. Lollipop may be better than iOS 8 but is that enough to overcome the app gap?

(Anecdata: my wife had her ipad mini stolen last week. We have 5 Android devices in the house, but as long as Civilization is only available on iOS this isn't a serious contender for a replacement.)
Hi Max, of course - happy to clarify.

The question actually gets to something we believe in very strongly: real impact on social problems takes focus and commitment. That's why we run a full-time data science fellowship, rather than have volunteers. Many well intentioned skill-based volunteer projects end without results, mainly because at some point (usually when the work get boring or hits an obstacle) volunteers lose momentum. Having full-time fellows allows us to bring really smart people to a great idea and have them fully dedicated to seeing things through, from scoping to implementation and maintenance.

Most hackathons projects (especially the ones for social good) usually don't get continued beyond the event. We've seen this to be true, both from our own experiences at hackathons and from others. We don't want that to happen at ours, especially with such incredible civic and nonprofit organization partners. That's why we're using our own resources to dedicate 2 of our fellows, full-time, in continuing on the winning hack. We want to ensure that the great work done for social impact doesn't get lost post-hackathon.

Of course, if the winning team wishes to continue on their for-good project with our project partners, we'd love that and would do nothing to stop it. I guarantee you that we're not trying to take attribution from participants, but rather want to give teams the opportunity to see their weekend hack come to life.
Building a reading time widget with React and jQuery
I didn't know that. Pretty cool.
What are the hiccups during the keynote? Do you just mean the technical issues with the live stream?
I scroll/swipe left or right with my thumb, most of my use is reading comics or watching videos, video being where the resolution most matters doesn't really require much interaction at all.

As far as typing I hardly look at the screen then and ppi don't really matter then. If I am just checking my notifications it barely comes out of my pocket. But when we are in a discussion of ppi being useful, I assume we are talking about the uses where you are actually looking at the screen.

Edit: Just realized that when I type longer messages or emails I tend to hold it 2 handed landscape and hold it pretty close(around 1 foot away) and tap it out with my thumbs because I find it more accurate. So I guess that is how one would type with it that close.
Hopefully they will decide not to be yet another island and also work with Netflix. I'd be perfectly happy paying the subscription fee to Netflix and being able to see the content through the existing Netflix apps I have everywhere.
I was more worried about Apple's long term future under Jobs. It seemed like he bet the farm on everything Apple released, and noone is good enough to win every time.
From the graphic, at least, it just looks like they've added TouchID sensors to the Home button.
I believe they're waiting on Broadwell.
> Apple messing up on marketing? Much less likely.

U2 album.
It is not a straw man. You argue that we can transmit nothing (at least nothing in the way of knowledge of truth) to the future generations who will rebuild civilization after some sort of disaster. You base this claim on an argument that civilization is genetically flawed: all of our philosophy and knowledge (with the corollary that no part can be separated from the whole) is in your view either (a) the cause of our downfall or (b) useless in preventing it.

If (a) then you are a Utopian who believes that evil is to be blamed on history or society and not men themselves. If (b) then it seems you are a fatalist who believes that there is no hope for the hypothetical survivors anyway. I don't think (b) is the case because you now mention that you have an "approach" to the problem. It is clear that we disagree on our "approaches", but what is your approach? If you believe (a), then it seems the wisest approach would be to try to keep the surviving children untainted by words or thoughts from adults who remember the cataclysm, in hopes that the new generation will start from scratch. Am I wrong?
Ok so I read that as you saying:

If you're running docker on windows and you try to run a linux container, it will magically start boot2docker and start your linux container inside that vm if you are running on a windows box.

Now if that is true, my question would be:
How do you boot2windows for windows docker images when you can't freely distribute a windows vm?

As I think both being able to support both would be amazing, I don't see how it fits into the current scheme of things.
Pretty soon, RT will be telling us that the basic idea for the high-beta fusion reactor was initially conceived by Vladimir Putin.
Oh absolutely. There are people trying to jump right into the more advanced reactions, but Lockheed is just aiming for D-T right now. My point is just that D-T could end up being a transitional technology. Once any form of net-positive fusion is available, I'm thinking research will ramp up a lot.

I haven't seen any good quantitative comparisons of D-T waste to fission, now you've got me curious.
He said "current" models, not all existing models. I understood current as "latest."
If the new Nexus devices were available for pre-order today: maybe. Since the Nexus devices are not available for pre-order until the day after the iPad announcement: unlikely.
I bought a dirt cheap bluetooth audio receiver and that seems pretty close to sufficient.

You can solve this with a Chromecast plus a VGA to HDMI adapter with an audio jack input.
I don't know about L, but KitKat instantly "saves" every network you tap on, even if it's broken. I didn't find option to disable that (but then I'd worry whether it'd save passwords at all).
> If they had put the 3220 mAh battery (or larger) in a 4.7" - 4.9" phone, I would gladly pay for that. Why can't smartphone manufacturers understand that a longer battery life is whats lacking in mobile devices?

Because consumers reliably shell out more for larger screens and thinner phones than they do for bigger batteries?
I think it's right to question that, but I haven't seen any indication of that. I look to the Azure team, and how they're operating.

Oracle DB is available. That's got to say something.
The 3rd-gen iPad had a retina display, but the marketing name for the 4th-gen iPad is "iPad with Retina Display". Yes, when the 4th-gen iPad was released, "The new iPad" (the 3rd-gen iPad) was no longer the new iPad, and "iPad with Retina Display" wasn't the first iPad with a retina display.
The OP said "Mark my words, one day a mass shooting will occur, someone will pull out their concealed carry, and a second concealed carry person will come around the corner and shoot the first (or the police will)."

That's fear mongering. It's an event that hasn't occurred, but is meant to drive fear into the witless.

All you've proven is that innocent people get caught in the crossfire on occasions. Who's to say the teller wouldn't have been shot anyway? And quite frankly, the only person responsible for that death is the armed robber. Very likely he would be charged with murder even though he didn't shoot the victim. The victim would be alive today if an armed robbery had not taken place. Here's some fear mongering for you, that shooter could himself have been shot if the robber didn't want any witnesses left behind. You don't think that happens?

Is there any evidence that lower resolution screens imply an increase in battery life?

You'll find people saying this all the time, but you'll also find that it's mostly based on armchair reasoning. I'm willing to accept that higher resolution => higher GPU usage => battery usage increase, but I'm not willing to accept that this has a significant impact, not on face value. Not considering that the GPU is only heavily used in short bursts for all tasks that are not gaming, and considering that its power drain is likely still insignificant when compared to the power usage of the backlight.

A year or two ago you could compare the HTC One M7 and the Nexus 4. Two phones with very similar internals and screen size, but the HTC has a 1080p screen and was usually reviewed to have a slightly longer battery life.
couple either of those to a reactionless drive and head off to alpha centauri for vacation...
Google Cast sounds a bit too good to be true, just like the Chromecast was. I hated the Chromecast 'cause it simply didn't have enough content for me and the performance was terrible.

I'll have to wait and see how the performance for the Google Cast is. I'd like it to at least be as good as my ability to airplay HD MKV files to an Apple TV.
It was also a significant SoC upgrade, from A5X to A6X. The iPad 4th gen could handle the Retina display much more smoothly.
Do they need any digital resources that we can provide them with?
The nexus 5 will continue to be produced. It was a part of their Nexus 6/9/Player landing page this morning, and it was showing running android L.

They're introducing this to appeal to a broader market. Also, Nexus phones more recently track "value" rather than "price". That is to say that they always deliver solid value, and probably will still continue to in relation to the much more expensive Galaxy Note and iPhone 6+.
A promo video for my startup that cost $6k
> Well that's probably just because you use your current phone for these things. Who's to say that the bigger screen won't make you do more or other things with it?

You may be right. But even so, I spend enough time on my phone even with the limited uses. If I had a bigger screen, maybe I'd use it for reading and writing emails. But I don't know that I want to.

If I could get a 6" phone that was as comfortable to read on as my Nook, I'd be all over it. The e-ink versions, not the Nook HD. Reading books is a great use case for a screen bigger than 3.5".

Addendum - Fundamentally, I see my phone as a minor utility/convenience item. I use it for occasional tasks like making dinner reservations, finding cheap gas, ordering takeout, finding ATMs, tracking runs, checking weather forecasts. None of those things need a 6" screen.

I'm sure Safari would be better on one, but I don't want to make it easier to sit around and browse the internet. As it stands, viewing photos is the best justification that I can come up with. I think these phones are just designed for a different sort of user. But people like me can't be that uncommon, can we?
$4.5 billion seems a bit steep for the budget of a reality TV show. Where are they hoping to get funding?
Confessions of a Hardware Startup
Apps that are running have a significant effect on battery life. One of the big problems with Android (vs iPhones) is that manufacturers and ISPs still have some control over messing with stock Apps. Also people might expect to be able to install any App they want and still get the same battery life.

Many of these Apps require ridiculous permissions and are obviously collecting information about you and your usage. As if that isn't bad enough it is obviously horrible for your battery life! My recommendation would be to only install necessary Apps (uninstall the ones you tried out but are not interested in) and try disabling unnecessary stock Apps/services (browse to the App in your settings and click "Disable"). The latter might have a negative effect on your user experience, but might also reduce power consumption; or it might have no noticeable effect whatsoever. Worth a shot though.
Really? I had the mic go out on my N5 at one point. Support was perfect. They sent me a new phone, I sent mine in, and everything was beautiful.
Second Ebola nurse traveled on plane with low-grade fever
>I was not trying to state any of the scenarios I presented as facts.

Oh, I'm sorry. I must have gotten confused when you said "Notice I did not accuse her of anything, simply stating two facts."; I took that to mean that you were simply stating two facts, and in fact you were trying to say literally the exact opposite of what you said. You should maybe work on saying things which are not one hundred percent false.
That is because 99% of newbie questions are already answered... and when someone just asks the same "what is a pointer in C" question, without even taking time to search if it's already been answered, it pisses off the community and they get negative feedback as a result.

I don't think a one-to-one chat with an experienced developer is a better solution for noobs, quite the contrary. But time will tell, maybe the guys who sign-up to coach on askadev will never get tired to explain the difference between an integer and a float type over and over and over again.
This is an occupational risk and a very dangerous one for health care workers. Nurses know how to protect themselves from contagious disease, but accidents can happen regardless. Ebola is not "happening" in the united states because two people got it.
When you're dealing with a plasma at 20 million kelvin, the leftovers from that "significant fraction" that don't get reflected can really ruin your day...

LLNL scientists almost tested a similar device (see 'MFTF') but the project was cancelled in 1986 before it was turned on.
It does make Haskell a dynamic language, but also isn't really what's meant. Generally when people compare statically typed languages and dynamically typed languages, what they are doing is comparing the various ways in which the type system imposes restrictions.

The way in which Haskell differs most strongly and obviously from Ruby is not that it catches the type errors at compile time - but that the type errors can be caught at compile time. This in general allows smarter tools - compare Eclipse for Java and the 'type hierarchy', 'find method calls', many refactoring calls and the far less rich tools available for Python.
That's because you seem to be focused on extremely performance-sensitive coding. The vast majority of code out there is not that performance-sensitive. This is a big part of where your perceived "fanboyism" comes from. In this domain Haskell's vastly higher level abstractive abilities, safety, code conciseness, etc are light years beyond what C and C++ have to offer.
Sounds like it could make a heck of a launch rocket.
Fair point. I have changed it.
Hopefully they DO decide to be yet another island. Otherwise, services like Netflix will turn into cable. I have no problem using AppleTV/Roku browsing to the service I want.
If you really are Dr. Kirtley let me say you have one of the most, if not the most important job in earth right now. Fusion energy has the potential to stop wars and re-start the space revolution. I wish you the best.
I'm not quite sure the 'app gap' exists still, does it?
Recently switched from iPhone 5S > HTC One M8, and nothing reallllly I miss.
For one, reading text is much more pleasant.
There's nothing wrong with what you're attracted to.

What's wrong is that you seem to think that commenting on your attraction to the female in the video is a worthwhile comment on the video. The video might have actual content, you know? It might be less sexist of you to actually pay some attention to the content, rather than to your attraction to the presenter?
