Proof? I can prove it in video, screenshots, anything. The second I plug my iPhone into my laptop, which is synced to my iTunes account, the only option I have is to erase all of my music. I love how people on HN blatantly just say "un

Well, firstly, I believe Amazon music is DRM locked, the only way you can download it on an iPhone/iTouch is through their 'app', and you cant export it. Secondly, yah, that's true, if you only use one computer. If you

They still do the same type of thing. Glad I paid 930 dollars for a device I can only use with music from their store from one computer. edit: Those downvoting seem to be seriously hostile towards consumers. If people are giving you 700

Well, I guess I think there are kind of two levels of nativity. Operating System native, i.e. uses API's from the OS directly. But then I think there's also hardware native, which means the IR that the code gets compiled into exec

The interpreter is native, but the code that runs on top of it isn't. In interpreted code, something like 'var i = 0;' could result in 100+ instructions, from the compilation/parsing of the script, to the actual running

Edit: In the context that they're using the word to mean "An Application Available in their Applications/ Folder," I really have no problem with that (as Pointed out in a response to this comment).

My definition of a native app excludes applications that are mere wrappers for 90% of the application code. If the majority of an application is written in JS/HTML/CSS, which I have no problem with, then don't call it native,

Native means code is compiled down to binary and run on the bare hardware. This project says it is explicitly run through the WebView, which is a HTML interpreter/renderer - by definition not native. Where did he said the App Store is

by rnovak 12y ago
because there's nothing native about HTML/CSS/JS. EVER. It is by definition run through an interpreter, it even directly says "uses webview". So it's NOT native. Calling it native is a LIE. Edit: how about re

I'm sorry, but how are University/GPA/Courses not directly tied to median candidate merit? If you had someone in front of you who went to MIT and had a 4.0, and always took the most stringent professors for each course in the

If you're really new to the field, there are a lot of really horrible developers, a bunch of developers interview well but are horrible on teams, and a whole bunch that are just not people persons at all. 10 hours of work really isn&

I know there's literally no hope for it, but I really do wish they could look past their differences and enable air-drop between android and iOS.

So if I select a movie from netflix say, and then my phone rings while it's streaming to the chromecast, it won't interrupt the stream on the TV?
284.
by rnovak 12y ago
correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the chromecast require that you use another device to stream content to it? i.e. to play netflix, I have to stream the video from my phone or something to the device?

I don't even think it should be used with Devs. For one, a good dev should know how to build queries, otherwise he/she is missing a good foundation, in which case shouldn't be working with the db. Just my personal take thou

if he had sent it to the other address, why would the person who responded pointed it out as the email to contact? If he had already sent an email to the Yahoo Security contact, why would he then be told to do the same thing twice?

Where did I say it wasn't encryption? I said I'd like to submit it to my PCI auditor as _my_ method of encryption, much easier than proper applied crypto.

I would really love to submit this encryption method to the PCI auditors.... "uses encryption extensively". Edit: seriously? The first example is a shift cipher and a one time pad of all 'M'.

I didn't overlook anything, but I'm also not under the illusion that Hacker News is a peer reviewed journal. Hacker News doesn't require anything of a commentator, the only requirements are on content. Unless you can magicall

First off, how do you know the credentials of ANYONE commenting? My "profile" doesn't have any information relating to my degrees, my work history, or anything else. Saying people need a degree to comment is a complete joke.

proof of lack of expertise? Oh right, there is none. You don't know someones credentials over the internet. Unless you maybe divine them somehow

The problem with articles like this is that there is absolutely no call to authority. If I posted some long rant abasing something brilliant, you should have absolutely no reason to believe me should I not provide you with a reason. What if
