So did I. Was the title changed?

Surprisingly I did as well, at least for me it looks like I just misread it (some sort of human bias?) Interesting to be n=3.

I'd guess subconscious recall of Robot Chicken from the "Robot [] Chi" similarity.

The timing of Google's AMP project is especially interesting considering the recent attention ad blockers have received.

By limiting the functionality of pages, AMP makes them load faster, but also allows publishers to include ads. The ads however, can't run JavaScript (or Flash) and so should be a lot less obnoxious.

There's no reason to only use AMP on mobile though - AMP content renders equally well, and fast, on the desktop. These extensions for Safari and Chrome will redirect to AMP URLs for content that has them.

In practice it's after the content has loaded.. so you get the lack of advertising and junk but.. a decent increase in load speed.

Unfortunately, it only seems to work for apps that are on the US app store. It doesn't create a page for apps that are, say, only in the UK app store.

Good catch, we'll fix this today.

tldr: Don't use bitcoind's "accounts" functionality

This is the first article I've read that actually details what the issue is and why it doesn't just effect custom Bitcoin clients.

It very much depends on the employer. I've hired people who haven't studied Computer Science (or even a science or engineering degree) and found that they can be a mixed bag. Generally they can program, but the quality of their code and the way they approach problems isn't always as good as people who have been taught Computer Science.

Also, and please don't take this the wrong way as you were posting on HN, not applying for a job, but if you don't have a degree I'd expect you to be more than just a great programmer. The structure of your first sentence would ring alarm bells for me. It's not just your technical abilities that are important but all your skills, including communication.

>> the quality of their code and the way they approach problems isn't always as good as people who have been taught Computer Science.

Might want to get your degree'ed nose out of the air, you might trip over the next obstacle that lies in your path.

Yes I am a senior in college and some people don't like the way I type. That is one of my fears that I will get a grammer nazi who cares how things are typed or a boss at a startup thats a jerk. Without a degree it would be difficult to find someone else. I'm not sure how a degree would make my grammar any more align with ideal north american lexicon, but it would give me better flexibility to quit a company.

Looking at iPhoto "Journal", Apple probably decided they couldn't redistribute Google maps so switched to OSM. Just a shame they didn't do it within the parameters of OSM's license.

Hopefully this was a mistake rather than Apple thinking they either didn't need to adhere to a license or that they could just bully their way to what they want.

If your device is rooted you're more likely to have routes for malware to get onto the device. When money is being moved out of your bank account, malware is the last thing you want on the device

It's interesting to read some of the Android reviews for the app; an interesting insight into how users value convenience over security.

Or simply how little they appreciate security

Are you assuming having root access to hardware you own to be a security flaw?

I'm assuming that most users don't know what root access is or the implications of having it

My favorite:

Absolute GASH

Won't work on a rooted DHD. Or any rooted fone for that matter. Why? Its my fone and my money....poofs. I guess a banking app by Barclays will be the same. Don't bother with this one.

Work in an industry, any industry, until you get a feel for how businesses currently operate in that space.

Find the things that are either repetitive or hard, or a different way of approaching the problems for these businesses.

Then you have your startup idea and know who your customers might be.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to land myself an internship at some good corporation to get a taste of problems they face.

Though, I'm a little vary of companies with bad work environments lest I end up getting a net negative worth out of the whoe experience.

This is something that the BBC did with iPlayer: http://po-ru.com/diary/device-discrimination-on-the-internet...

I've not quite worked out how to implement it though

That is interesting, but surely the client-side cert could just be copied and used in a dummy app?
