How technically feasible is it to get iPhone OS running on Android HW? I just purchased my Google Phone yesterday. I would think twice now.

What so hard about building these kind of devices nowadays? It seems to me that all the components are readily available (there is no technological breakthrough in any of them, excepted maybe the screen), and the size of it should make it e

Type a foreign name, click 'Images', see if that's male or female. When you work in a multinational company like me, that's handy. Both tricks are quite obvious. I've used them for years.

I work at a major (the biggest?) telecom equipment provider. For a couple of years, I've been doing ad-hoc Python scripts (say, 3000+ lines) to interact with network nodes, based on customer requests. So yes, there is room for professional,

I bet this is human-translated french, but it still contains mistakes and looks a bit unprofessional, e.g.: - typo: "routièrse" should be "routières" - grammatical person: the text uses the second person singular, which sounds a little info

I am not a marketer, but it might make sense to locally tune the text for your south-american customers. Expect little changes, even none at all. Any mexican, argentinian, peruvian, etc. readers out there to verify?

Drop this one! It's very, very poorly translated, probably by a automated service. I see flaws a bit everywhere. Any native french speaker can confirm this.

I'm a native spanish speaker. This translation looks perfect to me, with a very minor exception; "agregarlo" sounds more like south-american spanish. We would rather say "agregarle" in Spain, even though both ways would be understood.

The Asimov stories illustrate exploits on his own 3 laws. But how can you fix that? Embedding a full robotic-oriented legal system in their little brains does not seem to be the answer neither. I think we have to admit that robots will be f

I've always been puzzled by the little attention HN pays to demoscene. Coders of those little gems are truly expert hackers in their domains, getting the most of a limited amount of resources with pretty clever algorithms.

You just need to temporarily setup the network to block incoming calls to the phones in the patrolled area. This does not mean the 'signal' will drop to zero at any time, from the phone point of view. The phone will have absolutely no way t

What do you do for work? I'm frustrated with mine. The saddest thing is my colleagues are either equally frustrated or indifferent. I don't know much people around me that would say "I'm satisfied at what I do". So I'm curious about yours.

There is a ton of theories about nutrition out there, as the radically opposed comments show here. I haven't really studied the subject, but I know from experience that the food I used to have at home (basically, the mediterranean diet) kee

If true, this has a devastating effect on elections. The more a political party talks about its agenda, the less it will do? It totally contradicts the notion that the voters like a candidate that can clearly explain what his goals are.

I think the trick here consists in not sending a compressed image in any way, but rather a pre-calculated dataset that allows the image to be rendered on the client with low calculation power. Maybe just sending the polygon coordinates woul

Isn't Computer Science a complex enough subject for the teacher to be able to write new problem sets every semester? Isn't he just being lazy by trying to reuse his problems over and over?

This article comes to my mind: http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm It summarizes a model of possible levels of "knowledge", making a distinction of Data, Information, Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom. So in this context:

I disagree. I work for a large (65000+ employees) telco company, and our in-house problem/solution reporting database is totally broken. The search function is crap (it's based on predefined keywords, not really on free text). It has a voti
