And yet slides without text are useless after the event.

Yes, when they are on a mirror of a code repo. The upstream repo is at https://go.googlesource.com/go

They are static assertions that fancyWriter implements all those interfaces. They are compiled away to nothing but provide a kind of test of correctness.

One thing you should be aware of is that ISBNs can be reused. In theory they shouldn't, but mistakes happen as well as temporary shortages of ISBNs allocated to publishers.

If you want a free and unencumbered source of ISBN data then try the British National Bibliography dataset from the British Library. See http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/download.html or browse online http://bnb.data.bl.uk/doc/resource/012877800

How did Apple get from http://www.apple.com/privacy/ to this in a matter of weeks?

Daily Telegraph is already publishing a similar list, which gives a fascinating insight into what people would rather you did not read about: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/11036257/Telegr...

Yep, British slang for vagina.

Someone needs to introduce him to http://www.mars-one.com/

I think you misunderstand the context. go generate is already in Go tip and will be released as part of Go 1.4

That's just PC sales. In April this year XBox 360 sales reached 12M and PS3 sales were 1.5M.

That aside, the real money is in merchandising and tie-ups

I haven't read the book but I'm interested in other people's opinions on how much predictive power is in his ideas. It's clear he, like many other entrepreneur writers, has presented something with good descriptive power. He can describe why something was a good investment or why something else failed, but does he provide any kind of framework for predicting success?

At any point he could have said "I have enough now" and lowered the price of Minecraft to a sustaining level, or made it open source, or just stopped developing it.

Which can can be deleted in 2 seconds...

I'm a happy owner of an LG SmartTV and would recommend and buy again. In fact I'm disappointed they don't sell them in TV's less than 28 inches because I want a small one for the kitchen.

There is something very satisfying in having the Internet video services naturally integrated into the remote and just one button away.

Not to say that LG can't screw it up, but what they have today is a great product.

The consciousness article is from last year.

I guess I should have been clearer - I mean examples where you actually want different dependencies for the same application.

All uses of DI that I have seen have a single configuration that basically never changes. The DI is used for hooking up test objects, but not for reconfiguring the production app.

I'm interested in real examples of dependency injection being useful outside of hooking up testing objects. Anyone got any links to interesting examples?

> if you don't like it you don't have to read it How do we know we don't like it until we've read it?

This sounds like woo science. A link to a paper proving this assertion would be cool.

Did you read the article? It's primary point is that there is more to the numbers than just the revenue earned via app sales because Android allows apps to use external subscription methods. It even cites a Salesforce CRM app as an example of this.

That may be the intention, but where's the evidence that it actually has that effect? Do they publish stats of number of drivers on shift vs pricing? I work for a similar business and I've seen evidence that supply is not all that elastic.

It's pretty easy to make substantially similar copies of the source code and run them in biological containers. The hard part is the maintenance.

>Amazon also is in the interesting position of probably being able to disrupt literally all commercial and retail business in the next couple years

I agree, but replacing a diverse range of suppliers with a monopoly is not a positive form of disruption in my view

HN is not one homogeneous mass of people. There are libertarians who write pro-free market comments and there are authoritarians who write the opposite.

The British people didn't make any kind of bet, the few politicians in power at the time took it, lost hard and still ended up as Lords.

Why say failed state? Do you presume that all countries must have a state?

I guess they could have just gone to http://povertydata.worldbank.org/poverty/home/ and downloaded via CSV

How do you discover new music without buying it first?

I don't agree. I'm pretty sure we can make apps today equivalent to those from 20 years ago that are an order of magnitude more responsive even with all the indirection layers (640x480 resolution, 256 colours, no ui animations etc.)
