From the photo it looks like they're using BTX motherboards (unless as the fine print states, the final version is different).

It will be interesting to see if they can pull off the adaptive interface. It would be an incredible achievement if they can do it seamlessly in the first iteration. It's a big enough leap that I'll have to see it before I invest time in it. Nailing a simple To Do list demo would not suffice.

They are including the ability to specify the UI used for the platforms rather than having it done by their framework. I can see why they need to do so to satisfy cautious developers. I hope they're not doing so because the framework will have unacceptable performance in the first release.
More public shaming of people.
Does this behavior simply come from misunderstanding of etiquette across sites ? Facebook etiquette is different than Linked etiquette, and those are different than twitter etiquette ? How does one truly figure out this network out ?
I opt out because I'm afraid of being shamed.

Many premium brands have been around for years. Rolex, Coach, etc. Sure, trends change but there are always going to be people willing to pay extra for the status of having a premium brand.
They do have some pretty neat pictures of the surface of a sample nanowire outlined by what they think are SPPs, but calling it a "first ever photo of a photon as both a wave and a particle" seems like it's stretching things a bit.

From what I understand, they're basically shooting an IR and UV laser pulse separated by a short(femptosecond) delay at the surface of a nanowire, and then using the interaction between a beam of electrons passing near the surface of the wire to gauge surface excitation as a result of the laser pulses. In theory, the surface electrons enter an excitation state from the laser pulse and then shortly thereafter exchange their quanta with the electron beam.

Because light is quantized, the excitation state is reached, but because it is a field with wave-like characteristics the excitation states in the surface electrons appear to exhibit a standing-wave pattern.

This is pretty fantastic.

You're right that this type of public shaming is a bad idea.

There's bloatware out there but for the flagship Android phones typically it's not so bad that it makes the phone unusable for the average user. iOS does not enjoy as big of an advantage in UI/UX as it used to, which is phones like the Nexus 5/6, HTC One, and S5 have decent market share.

Then when you get into cloud services (Gmail, Maps, Google Now, etc.) Android has a clear advantage. So depending on what parts of the smartphone experience a user prioritizes, a logical argument can be made for either platform.

Who's Really Using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram in 2015
It's creepy because linkedin social network is environment where everyone is polite to each other and it is not the norm to make sexual advances in that environment. The same message from the same person would not be creepy if it would be on the dating site.

It's the same situation where a coworker saying a compliment in the office is creepy, but random guy grabbing ass in the club is not.

Creepiness is about deviation from social norm combined with the difference of attractiveness between individuals, not about absolute level of advance.

Most people can feel it naturally, others lack such skill. If you lack it, read what I wrote and you can usually assess pretty accurately if an action can be considered creepy or not.

No,Uber is fishing for data they don't need. They have an IP address of the intruder. Instead of demanding all the access logs for a months long period, why not compel Github to answer the question "Did this IP address access the Gist in question? If so, what are the timestamps?"

Instead Uber wants all github's access log data for the gist in question which sounds like more incompetence and desperation on Uber's part.

The article makes it sounds like they are replacing PageRank. According to the paper it's orthogonal to PageRank. It's just another signal to consider. The other assumption seems to be that this will cause site authors to fact-stuff. However it sounds like they more interested in using wrong facts to penalize a site than using correct facts to promote a site.
I don't think I've worked on an app where at least some people inside the company couldn't log into anyone else's account. It's useful for debugging, and when you're developing the app, you need a way to switch users pretty frequently.

Excellent read. I'm just going to comment on one thing:

The typical venture-capital concerns used to provide money only after a few hundred thousand dollars or more had been put into a business by relatives and principals, and only after the company had a product well along in development.

One of the major differences between then and now is that normal people could actually save money, because the two-decade (or longer?) Boomer/NIMBY-created housing bubble hadn't happened yet. Bootstrapping was possible, and it was a negative signal if an entrepreneur hadn't put, at the very least, $10,000 of his own money in the show.

In 2015, the it-gets-VC-or-doesn't-happen attitude may seem degenerate, but it's a necessity given that it's no longer normal (but rather extraordinary) for a 30-year-old programmer to have a six-figure net worth, thanks to Boomer-created housing and health insurance costs.
Good points; however, this is not only important for startups and new companies, but for the community itself.

Drupal has much stronger community than WordPress & Joomla for example, and I think this has to do with keeping all extensions in one place and discouraging premium ones.

This way all developers can get whatever they need, but because of Drupal's "complexity", you there is way less crappy code written by people who are just passing by, as in WP/Joomla.

Brand-sensitivity scales with price and the need for quality. Almost no one will buy an off-brand car, but most people will buy an off-brand cheap plastic toy if the price is better. Action cameras are probably on the low end of that scale, unless it's your job, so I'd suspect a much-cheaper version to fare well--especially if it's cheap enough you can buy it just to see if it will do the job.

Also, the no-name cheap brand can become a known one pretty quickly. Brand is not a long-term defence to being undercut. It can give you some time to adjust to the new market being created, though.

Architect Clippy
WordPress is also very popular among content folks, on account of its well, content management features. Not to mention the strength of the editor, and easy extensibility. You could tap away in your terminal for a year making the new and best node.js or Go editor and by the time you were done you wouldn't be close, and WP would have moved the goalposts again. And let's say you were successful and had created a great content management system. Then you'd have to train your editors and your social media folks and they'd STILL hate it and quit and you'd have to train a new batch of editors, except, oh, you just got the opportunity to work for a company that doesn't make you spend a year re-implementing a blog from scratch and jumped on it, and now nobody knows how to get the website to let them embed a Vine? Man we should have just gone with Wordpress.
The important quote:

The service would be small in scale and not intended to compete with the big four national carriers, Sundar Pichai, who oversees Google’s mobile operating system Android, said in a presentation at an industry conference in Barcelona.

Though maybe it should read "small in scale, for now", because unless they intend to scale it I'm not sure what use it would provide consumers.

I'm on the fence about whether I'd ever sign up for this, but it barely matters - the point is that it'll bring competition to the big four, much like Google Fiber has done.
A little tip to the authors, migrate the project form an Eclipse-based one to Maven or Gradle. Not everyone uses Eclipse and it's more friendlier that way.
That's a barrage - like the scheme discussed in the original article. The NI and Pendland Firth schemes don't rely on a barrage but on the very strong tidal streams naturally found in those areas.

All the specs say "or faster", "or more", etc. but I can't see a way to change the specs on purchase. Their common questions does have this question:

"Can I upgrade the hardware in it?"

with the answer being
"Absolutely, hack away! We have had folks put solid state drives in, or take the drives out all together..."

So maybe they just mean it's capable of being upgraded but they don't do it for you at point of sale.

Well, that's one difference between the child's world and the adult's world; bad intentions appear to be pretty rare, but even the best intentions are stymied by ineffectuality. That might be an idealization of the under-18 crowd, though.

My strategy can be summed up as, if you teach kids real civics, you provide stronger support for those with good intentions. I can't speak for other countries, but in America, I think that the knowledge of civics is rare to none; even on Hacker News, supposedly a bastion of intelligent and experienced people, you find egregious mistakes on basic constitutional theory. That's not really their fault: they've been trained to misunderstand how government works by, well... politicians with bad intentions.

Basically, proprietary PowerVR graphics chip driver source was leaked. Anyone who has read the leaked code is considered "tainted" and is unable to contribute to the open-soruce, cleanroom implementation alternative PowerVR drivers.

It generally makes it difficult for ANYONE to develop open-source PowerVR drivers, as their lawyers could argue that they had seen the leaked source code and copied it (regardless of whether or not that fact is true).
Ask HN: No time to maintain our project, what do to?
We are 3, and “MySeeen” is our first project and startup. We have built it from nothing since 2 years, but with a goal: Making an app you just have to open to get a movie you will have fun watching.

It could be achieved easily by making a social app allowing you to get movies information (length, casting, posters, …), to share about the movies you have seen or want to see and rate them to finally correctly advice a movie for anyone.

MySeeen (http://myseeenapp.com/) is available on iOS and Windows Phone.

Unfortunately, after 1 great year in the company, as full time job, without knowing how to earn money and how to enhance our baby, we needed money and slowly stopped maintaining our project. Now we haven’t touched the code for 1 year because we all have started a new life and don’t have the time to maintain it.

We have a good amount of users, and it still growing daily by a good number of people. We don’t want to turn our back to our users, so we have decided to maintain (up and running) the back-end as long as we can, but we need to shut down the company because we still have fees to pay (bank, government, etc…). We post here to get people’s advices, potential users, current or former start-up fans, coders, CEO’s, what would you do if you were us?
I worked on a local social network for a while and it also worked like this, even more blatantly (we had a built-in function that made us see the profile of an user exactly the way they saw it, to check bug reports and such). There were some not very nice consequences; I remember a case where a few guys gathered around a computer when someone was looking at a hot girl's private photos (there was nothing revealing, just close pictures and such). EDIT: someone has mentioned auditing; I remember that yes, we audited who did what.

Frankly, I thought everyone assumed that this worked as that, at least in the technical circles.
