Fascinating story. But interesting that despite all the efforts of this particular prison, its recidivism rate is 16% compared to Norway's national average of 20%.

Really? I did not know that! Are they as ubiquitous as London's system? (ie. literally every street and corner in the city is covered by a camera) The only use of cameras in the US that I know of is for red-light cameras, and even those are

Just me or is it a bit creepy that not only do they have a city-wide CCTV system, but they apparently used it to track specific vehicles? Perhaps it's just the US mentality of tremendous respect for civil liberties[1], but what they did is

That rule was dropped a long time ago. AFAIK, the only remaining restriction is using Safari's rendering engine for browser apps. Examples: * Opera vs Safari.app * Sparrow vs Mail.app * Vimeo vs YouTube app * Agenda vs Calendar.ap

I'm not sure it's fair to pin that on Apple. There are a number of navigation apps in the App Store, free and paid, that anyone can download (I use Navigon and it's paid for itself a hundred times over). It's not as if Apple doesn't permit

Nothing stopping Google from publishing their own app in the App Store when this happens, much like how Bing has their own Maps app or Vimeo has an app even though YouTube is pre-installed on iOS. In fact, that might even be better for Goog

Probably because it's the first to definitively say the new Maps are coming in iOS 6. It's common knowledge that Apple has been buying maps companies to build their own app, but AFAIK this is the first time we've gotten a solid release date

If Apple does switch to their own maps, I'm sure Google will come out with their own independent Google Maps app in the App Store, like they have for Google+ and other products. If nothing else, their database of businesses is hugely valuab

Any ETA on a rollout of the service to people on the waiting list?

Oh wow, that is very interesting. I always thought it was Forbes cherry-picking content to repost, had no idea that it was Quora themselves selecting what to essentially "promote" on Forbes. Also, now I know why @Quora retweets the Forbes v

I can understand why you're redirecting traffic directly to the App Store, but I think it might be doing more harm than good. I vaguely remember seeing something about this app on HN before, but I don't really remember what it does exactly.

by rkudeshi 14y ago
Forbes has been doing it for a while and @Quora retweets them all the time, so they must be OK with it. (Haven't checked, but assuming they're licensed under Creative Commons?)

How would that even work?

by rkudeshi 14y ago
Try writing a blog post about it and submit again (preferably later at night, when there's less competition.) Also, "Show HN" seems to get a better response than other alternatives.

Well, color me amazed. I always just went to Wikipedia's "List of <name> episodes" page, but this will save me a lot of time. Thanks!

I suspect quality results also played an outsized factor in most people's switching, even if they don't admit it. Easy test: are you using Bing now? (with their new clean results pages)

by rkudeshi 14y ago
Is it just me or is this better than anything Google's ever had? (both before and after Search Plus Your World) If Bing can do a better job with long tail queries, I could definitely see myself recommending to family to use Bing.
