Netscape used to be a paid product* before Microsoft made IE free. What Microsoft did was make a free competitor and install it on every machine running their OS.

So what Microsoft did that was illegal was use their monopoly power to destroy an existing player. That's how they were "anti-competitive".

While Apple not allowing any competing rendering engines to be written for iOS is anti-competitive in the dictionary sense that they are preventing competition to be created, it isn't the type of behavior targeted by anti-trust law.

(IANAL, but my understanding is that if Apple had removed Spotify, Pandora and other music apps from the App Store while releasing their streaming music service, that would be an anti-trust violation.)

Does the random pausing happen when using headphones? I've had this happen occasionally when using non-Apple headphones. I think what was happening for me is that the input jack would "wobble" in and out a bit and I think iOS interpreted that to be the pause button being pressed on Apple headphones.
I honestly can't take your post seriously. I only read the first paragraph and saw complaints about something that is in BETA. It won't even be released until Oct. at the earliest. Instead, you should have phrased your post much differently. Like, hey...I tried it out, and here are the things I noticed so far about Xcode 7 and swift 2.0. Instead you start off with your title calling a beta product, months from release, a joke.
But that can also happen due to simply being out in the sun too, right?

Parent commenter asked "What recourse do the creditors have". If you aren't constraining yourself withing legal frameworks, then the answer can be "whatever you want". But I doubt that's what they meant. Unless they were asking for permission to invade Greece?

But I wanted to head off the implication that somehow debtors deserve this kind of treatment. Being in debt is not a violent act against the creditors. It's not a crime. So people should stop themselves from thinking that almost anything is justified in recovering debts. That thinking is what led to debtor jails, the practice of which was outlawed for a reason.

I'm honestly not familiar with their coverage, but when the first article in its defense I can find from them can pretty much be summed up as "it's doing great things for the military-industrial complex," I'm somewhat skeptical.

Based on what I read of the article (about 2/3), it seems like the question this article is answering is, "In which entertainment medium can you make the most money in a least-hard way? "

The best medium for a storyteller will be, as others have said upthread, whatever they want to use. I am a writer in my non-work world. I have played around with podcasting, vlogging, blogging, and comics, but the best way for me to tell a story is through words, no matter how hard it is to distribute those words. I was writing even before Amazon KDP democratized that medium, and I will be writing even if it becomes hard again, because I love to write and I get the most joy out of storytelling that way. I think there are some people who are medium-agnostic, but most are not.

Numbers always pop out on a resume. If you can get leadership to share the financial results of your work, it's always to your advantage to know. It's not necessarily to their advantage, though, so they probably won't volunteer it.

For developers, the other thing that really pops out is "Launched X", "Shipped X", or "Created X", where X is some publicly visible feature or product. Links are good too; the hiring manager probably won't look at them, but the fact that your accomplishments are independently verifiable on the net helps a lot.

There isn't a ton of value add in having daily updates to street views (things don't change that frequently), but there would be a huge increase in expense. I don't know the exact number of google street view cars, but there are way, way, way fewer than there are USPS trucks. Outfitting lots of USPS would add a ton of expense to the equation.

As a side note, I am curious what fraction of houses they actually drive by each day. In many residential areas it seems common for drivers to park the delivery car while they walk around the block with the mail. Still, it seems clear the coverage is pretty substantial.

Edit: this post indicates an October 2012 number of around 250 cars, just to give a sense of scale.
> F-35-is-sufficient-because-CAS-is-not-necessary.

It's been said before, turned out to be untrue before, and I see no reason to believe it this time. Until someone finds me some credible infantrymen who say that CAS isn't needed, I will not support putting boots on the ground without a strong CAS game.

EDIT: re: EDIT: Fair enough! Don't worry, I haven't downvoted you or anything like that. As far as that position, I feel like it is maybe not the most honest one from some folks since the F-35 has been touted by some as a platform with which to do CAS.

Ah, that makes more sense. It was mentioned below that it seems to be using Twitter.
Again you post information without any sources. A more accurate figure is $178 billion in cash at the beginning of this year.[1] That means they have around 59 times more than that amount in cash, not the 200 you claimed. Also, I think its telling that Apple themselves mentioned App Store Sales as a main factor in their revenue earnings for Q4 of their 2014 fiscal year. [2] What's important is how much of their total annual revenue and profits are derived from App Store sales, not how it compares to the amount of cash they have on hand.

As others have mentioned, there are other benefits from native applications, like vendor lock-in, which Apple isn't going to get with web-based applications.

So assuming this was a mistaken classification that happened naturally and not the result of someone purposefully training the system to do this... does this mean we need to teach these systems to be politically correct? Confusing a dog and a goat doesn't carry the same potential to cause extreme negative publicity that an error like this does, especially when the system works well enough that most other classification attempts are correct.

Negative. The F-35 model that the Navy uses costs $337 million. And the same use (carrier F-18 E/F) is $57 according to a Navy web page. So I was a little off... the A models were much less expensive, but that's still 5 F-18F models for one F-35. I think in a skirmish 5 F-18s will beat the pants off a single F-35, since there is no way an F-35 can carry sufficient munitions to compensate for the anti-missile capabilities of 5 F-18s.

The only possible way an F-35 could take out 5 F-18s is if its advanced electronics warfare package could remotely hack the avionics of the F-18s, or deploy some EMP weapon (then they all bail out!)

Having read over the entire thing, I have only one issues with it: The Universal Hash structure is only universal if the language implementing it permits you to create cyclic structures, so you can manipulate the "pointers" or relevant language concept to create the cyclic structures. There are a handful of languages that don't permit that, such as Erlang, and some languages like Haskell that permit you to use "tying the knot" to create cyclic structures [1], but ones that can sometimes be difficult to manipulate after the fact.

In those languages, you'll probably need to use a data structure well known for its simplicity, efficiency, and broad cross-language-platform compatibility: The Resource Description Framework's graph model. Graphs are also a well-known candidate for "universal data structure" [2]. Also, it's semantic, which is a clear advantage over the entirely not semantic UniversalHash, because semantic is better than not semantic when it comes to universal semantics of semanticness.

Semantic.

Otherwise, the article is pretty solid and all serious developers should definitely consider implementing it forthwith, as they will find it a very, very educational experience. I know I've seen people implement this model in Java before, and I can certainly vouch for the fact that it was an education for all involved.

I'm going to say "semantic" one more time, because it's been my observation that the more you say it, the smarter you sound, so: semantic. Oh, yeah, that's the stuff. Mmmmmmmmm.

[1]: https://wiki.haskell.org/Tying_the_Knot

[2]: Seriously, if you really do want to discuss the "universal data structure", perhaps because you want to analyze data structures very generically for some mathematical reason, graphs really are a good candidate. Not necessarily RDF graphs, which are both bizarrely complicated while lacking simple features; the three blessed collection types are a weird combination of features.
Not really, I think. There are questions like "Why is my site not attracting users" or "Is this business / project idea viable", where putting it in front of the HN audience is looking for information. There are questions like "Is Cisco generally nice to acquired companies' free products" or "How profitable is Uber in the long term" that can't be trivially answered with public data, but can lead to productive discussions. There's stuff like "What should I do about this particular diversity problem in my company, from my position," where discussion is the best way to get an answer. All of this is very different from asking a technical question that is (in theory) answered in the very first technical paper on the subject.

There's also the question of relevance. "Ask HN: What's your favorite resource for explaining Paxos?" as a top-level post is very different from commenting on some random AWS blog post insinuating that Paxos can't possibly work.
The argument here is that a small force of F-22s taken to the Asian theater will complement a large F-35 force enough that it will no longer be a problem that F-35 dogfight capability is limited. All F-22-s need to do is to provide cover for WVR engagements, which won't happen frequently or in large numbers.

"It does not really need server processors or high-end graphics cards."

I think that Microsoft needs server processors for their Azure cloud, with enough volumes Microsoft could undercut all other cloud providers on hardware acquisition costs if they own a manufacturer of CPUs, Chipsets, GPUs for OpenCL applications.

If you build your own servers from a OEM manufacturer like Quanta, Compal and Foxconn which by the way makes most branded servers anyway and you then put your own CPU, GPU and components motherboards in there you have a lower acquisitions costs on your cloud computing compared to the others.

Thus it makes sense for Microsoft on Xbox & Azure and possibly hardware for Windows tablets.
Product Enhancement Requests:

1) For fields: Can you add an auto-complete short-text field OR allow for free text to be added to a select list

2) For Fields: Can we have a calculate-able automatic number type of field that could be created automatically based on various tokens such as:

Token types:

'static text' - static text that appears as is
'dd' - the current day
'mm' & 'mmm' - the current month in digit or character format
'yyyy' & 'yy' - the current year
'999' - an n-digit number that autoincrements for that phase or pipe

3) Can labels have a type and a label field filter on that type?

The capital has always been home to graduates of top uk schools; the current crop of gentrification has nothing to do with eton or oxbridge. It has to do with petrodollars and securization of the residential mortgage market and with inflationary monetary policy, and globalization of the wealthy upper-middle class. The absolute numbers of elite british students in each class is very small, and london is a very large city. Heck, even the amount of london-based students in the capital is an oder of magnitude larger, and many of them are non-uk or even eu and their rich parents are buying them flats...etc.
We sometimes invite people to repost articles that look good and didn't get much attention. 11 points is perhaps borderline for "much attention", but we thought the article deserved a discussion, so we invited vezzy-fnord to repost it.

In general, a small number of reposts is ok if an article hasn't had significant attention in the last year or so [1]. Letting good stories have a few cracks at making the front page helps mitigate the randomness of what gets traction here.
