HN user
That's not a new interpretation. It just hasn't got the same airtime because it's not as interesting. I heard this interpretation from a Mexican/Mayan 5 years ago. It's happened before in the Mayan calendar too. It just restarts again if I remember correctly.
Sorry but sexual assault is a very serious crime. Never mind the unusual circumstances of this particular case, your comment is insulting to sexual assault victims as it implies sexual assault is a lesser crime.
The app is a simple one which allows the user to find predicted passes of the ISS and details of the passes. It also allows the user to go into a AR-mode to show overlaid on the device's camera, the path of the pass and the current position of the space station.
As we're on HN I thought you'd appreciate a little challenge. As I've recently read so much about how vulnerable MD5 and SHA1 hashes are I've posted 6 promo codes for the app store below. The first 3 are MD5 hashes and the last 3 are SHA1 hashes. Enjoy!

No but if you're caught with a hard drive full of pirated material AND the encryption keys for those releases then you're gonna have a hard time in court. The keys need not be government issued to prove you're responsible.
Why must community and business be mutually exclusive? Hint: they're not, and SO is both.
Maybe you could tell us what your app is? I tried looking to your blog without success. If I'd have found it you might have made another sale.
Not to mention they hold a large amount of the market at a critical period for lock-in to their ecosystem. If they can make xbox live provide enough compelling features that you lose when switching platforms then they'll keep the current users for a long time.
The post you're linking is discussing the META tag version of nofollow, not the hyperlink rel attribute which is detailed here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-sp...
This article doesn't say explicitly that it won't follow those links and I would suggest it often will as comments are a rich source of pages to index. The nofollow on a link like this just indicates that the page owner can't vouch for the quality of the linked page (e.g. user submitted link) and therefore doesn't want to pass pagerank to it.
Edit: it's also implied in the parent's link that the META tag only prevents the following of links to pages within your site. This sounds reasonable as who are you to tell Google they can't index a third party domain?
> Sure it'll have a 50 year latency, but we could easily stream all of youtube (or the entire internet really) to them
Well Eric Schmidt who's probably in a better position to estimate than most, said that Google estimates the internet is made up of 5 million terabytes.
5 million terabytes / 10gbps = 126.8 years
and I very much doubt 10gbps is even remotely achievable over interstellar distances. I don't what kind of data rates are achievable but I would expect it to be extremely slow relative to Gigabit speeds.
I'm English too but totally support US sites blacking out in opposition to SOPA. It will affect the entire internet if the bill passes and may be used as a template for other countries (Note: I don't think HN blacking out will have much impact so I don't support this particular question)
> Actually IIRC the whole iTunes music store is also disabled when you're on 3G and not Wifi.
you didn't recall correctly (at least not for my carrier).
Looks like great fun. I'm always tempted to have a go at things like this myself when I see reports like this. One day...
One question. Did you choose the video cameras based on size or are did you assess the quality too? I've seen some pathetic 'HD' videos from cheap cameras before but things seem to have progressed a lot over the last couple of years.
also while all analogies have problems the verbosity here introduces more complications.
Technically the store isn't shut down it's only removed from the phonebook. At this point the analogy breaks down as that doesn't sound as drastic at all. However, on the web, being removed from DNS would be a death sentence to legitimate sites but ironically (and tragically) not for sites dedicated to copyright infringement.
That is interesting. I'm sure I've read of planes doing a fly-by for the control tower to assess whether the landing gear is actually down or not in situations like this. Were there reasons something like this wasn't attempted in this case?
I would expect that eventually the safety of automated cars will far exceed current levels and therefore child car seats won't be required in the same way that no-one uses a car seat on a train (or even a bus actually, which is presumably much more dangerous than a train)
> you don't need to neccessarily handle exceptions even if they are checked (in cases where it doesn't make sense that your code handles them). Add a 'throws' clause and let the calling code handle them.
The problem with this is it affects the signature of all methods in your call hierarchy up to the point where it's handled as you're forced to declare that you throw exceptions. A simple change in one class could quickly become a breaking change involving several classes just because an exception can now occur.
> It was a little rushed with the whole concept of forcing everyone to handle all exceptions
Just to clarify, Java doesn't force you to handle all exceptions (maybe it did at one point in time?). Exceptions which inherit from RuntimeException are unchecked and you can choose whether to handle them or not. Exceptions which don't inherit from RuntimeException are checked
Well I didn't know that US patent cases can be presented to a jury. I don't envy them on that considering the language these things are written in.
I wonder how many hours are spent 'training' the jury in the legalese required to understand the case? And this would have to be done for each and every case that has a jury!
Yeah I would love to see more of this type of analysis. It's really revealing and interesting.
I think John's point is that people are dismissing the actual allegations outright and assuming the conspiracy is true without any evidence at all.
There's no evidence I'm aware of to back up the conspiracy. On the other hand the Swedes obviously believe there is enough evidence for a prosecution given the extradition request.
Why shouldn't the normal legal process occur? If he's got a good defence case then he should present it to the Swedish court. If he doesn't then he deserves the punishment for any crime he's found guilty of.
Edit: I see John has responded himself. See his response :)
Wow that is interesting regarding Twitter. It might be more useful longer term for customer engagement though?
Do you think it is specific to your market to suffer from this or is it a wider problem?
I hope there's an override for auto-away. Imagine going away over Christmas and your pipes freeze because there has been no heating at all... Not a problem in California where this has been developed but a realistic problem in much of the world.
Agreed, why not leave the original notation but show the footnote in the popover as show?
That's incorrect, he stated on his podcast that he's used iOS5 on his main device since WWDC.
Whether he hits the limit regularly or not is another question...
I remember it well. I was on holiday in the US and couldn't believe people were queuing for a phone! Apple fanboys!
Turns out two years later I'm totally one of those fanboys
> and there is no nation on earth with the inventiveness found on such a massive scale as in America.
Citation needed? This sentence and the next just made me stop reading. It's borderline supremacism. Whether the rest of the article has valid points or not such a sweeping statement can not be taken seriously.
This is especially annoying as in days gone by if you added + to the query they'd show a message explaining that you don't need to use + as Google only returns results containing all the terms in your query. I wonder when they stopped doing this?
Maybe I'm missing something but how is this even arbitrage? If you were just putting the money into an interest bearing account and repaying before the interest rate kicked in then yes it would be arbitrage (if you could even beat the 3% fee) but that wasn't happening here.
The author was just taking the 0% rates and using them to fund his company which didn't work out. There was never a guaranteed upside to this which is what you would expect with arbitrage.
Really the point is that nothing can be injected into the git history undetected. To add any new code to the repository it needs to be put at the top of the 'stack' as the last commit. So even if someone got access to Linus' (or any other high level dev) machine they wouldn't be able to inject malware undetected as a look at recent commits would show the changes made.
