I guess I'll never know how exactly it's bursting since that information is behind a paywall.

We tried using Swift for a new app but the language isn't ready for prime time. It's an impressive language by itself, but the support for it just isn't there yet. Since it's still in infancy things change too much and d

Thanks for posting those links. The original link isn't to explanatory about what types of content the mailing list will have.

What I understand flexible to mean is "serving 99% of use case scenarios". Arguably Photoshop does this, Instagram does not. Or maybe a better analogy is Photoshop vs Photoshop Elements, which probably only servers 80% of use case

Yes, it's the only video on the list that I've seen and it's exactly because my 2 and 4 year olds commandeer my iDevices and watch those videos. See this article about one woman making $5 million from reviewing Disney toys an

You'd think there could be a way that they could track the times between pulls for the newsfeed as you scroll and get a lower resolution view of the same phenomena, basically how long you looked at those posts but without as specific d

And it doesn't mention civil rights or feminism either. There may be various cultural phenomenons that play a part in increasing the labor supply, but enforcing barriers to entry disregards the dignity of people. The fact is, if you wa

I don't know if it's as simple as it being always being either causation or correlation. Education level is used as a proxy of potential wellbeing indicators. Yes, there are rare people who have never finished high school and had

Yes, the real issue in the complaint is likely the grandfathered consumers who signed up to AT&T understanding one definition of unlimited just to be forced into another. I don't think it's an FTC attack on "unlimited but

by adjwilli 12y ago
Yeah, you're right that the grandfathered consumers are a special case. It would be like having truly unlimited coffee refills then all of a sudden being told you're getting half-cup intervals.

The issue doesn't seem to be the "unlimited by throttled" business model, but the adequate disclosure of that information to the consumer. Other carriers may have worded it differently. More importantly though, AT&T had a

by adjwilli 12y ago
Wouldn't it be more like after 2 cups they only get served in half-cup increments? I agree with the sentiment. Unlimited with throttles isn't truly "unlimited", but "unlimited*". That said, the FTC complaint se

Yeah, you're probably right. AdNauseam would do better to click on only a percent randomly.

by adjwilli 12y ago
I'm not endorsing AdNauseam, but the idea is that the information the ad companies track will be useless since the target person will appear to have clicked on every ad regardless of true interest in the product. For instance it will m

Over the past two years, I went from being 1 lbs overweight according to my doctor to 6'1" 175 by gradually starting to run and then then do yoga. I was getting up to six times a week either running 30 mins or 1 - 1.25 hours of yo

It seems like it moves more in decades of greater economic growth. There are probably a lot of factors to account for that, but it's interesting nonetheless.

A friend and I published some apps on the Microsoft store a few years ago, when it was still for Windows Phone 7. We've received several emails from Microsoft saying we need to update this and that or our apps will be removed. Because

There are lots of "App Stores" now that accept web apps. Google, Firefox and Opera all have them. I think Amazon does too.

Yes thank you, posts like this are what make HN good. It's not necessarily news or even related to technology but interesting for us hacker types nonetheless.

You'd think conservatives would support a domestic work tax credit then since they would be most likely to afford domestic employees and thus benefit the most.

I want to vote for Elon Musk too, but Edward Snowden is too important. Also, why are there no women listed? Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer made lots of news this year.

This was interesting but the title "From China, With Love" seems descriptively weak and unnecessarily confrontational, as if somehow the Chinese government were to blame for one router manufacturers backdoor.

This is a great idea especially if you can monetize it successfully. I would buy it just go support it.

"The Google Search app will be able to show Google Now ads for nearby businesses". We'll that's good that at least Google get's to show its ads, because it's "open" and you are its product.

If one person does it, it's self-censorship. If a group of people do it's a non-violent collective action protest.

I can hardly understand anything in that doc. I'm a decent-enough iOS programmer from a LAMP and design background. It makes me wonder if in 20 years people like me will look back at the iOS programming guide and be equally confused. A

My uncaffeinated early-morning mind read the headline as why removing feautes makes people HAPPY. I think that would be a much more interesting article.

Agreed, and the subscription model provides incentives for developers to update apps too.

That's pretty great that one of the few Fox News articles to get on Hacker News is not only full of speculation and conspiracy-theory bait but also get ordnance/ordinance wrong.
