From the linked article on wikipedia:

“Not to be confused with Murphy's law.”

Muphry's Law is something different (yet related).

Dumb question: are there any reasons not to install the updated JDK/JRE?

E.g., any known backward compatibility issues or bad experiences anyone's encountered (aside from looking bad on a retina display)?

Not outrage; a simple request for clarification—which was received gracefully.

Ohhhh. So, yes.

I knew there was a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Are you kidding me?

Google actually calls it "2-step verification"

Think standard definition television programming on a modern HDTV. It's pretty much like that.

TL;DR:

“Yet Apple's iPhone and iPad business remains more lucrative. The Cupertino, California-based company earned $11.6bn (£7.2bn) in the January-March quarter, more than twice as much as Samsung, even though its revenue was about 10% less.”

It was put together by these guys: http://simpleshow.com/

There's a pretty good overview here: http://plunker.no.de/

I got “Sorry, this tree is taking too long to generate.”

Haven't seen this before…

I don't mean to derail the conversation, but I just noticed today that one of the sites I work with (aptcorner.com) has dropped off of the first page of results for the company name (it was previously at around position 4–5. Is it not enough that I've set the preferred domain in webmaster tools? Will setting a rel=canonical tag make a difference?

True, but I think that is just the special case being asked about. Would it make sense to have an exception for “www”?

I found this article incredibly insightful, and was surprised to find no discussion (disagreement?) from the community here.

It's based on a potentially (?) flawed analysis of the impact of advertising early (or later) in a product's life, but it reminds me of a very real debate as to whether a product requires a business model to be worthwhile (in the long term) or if an acquisition exit is sufficient.

It is available on Cydia for jailbroken iPads/iPhones, if you're into that sort of thing. You probably knew that, but just in case…

You’re not forced. You can enter any amount you wish. It's merely a convenience.

Note: This is a direct link to the Spotify App and requires opening Spotify to read anything about it.

Thanks for the ideas…

I tried using SSL and got a 502 Proxy Error: ”Error reading from remote server”

It seems to me (I could be totally off) that there may be a ban on HN which is refusing to give a response to requests from my IP.

If anyone can tell me I'm completely wrong, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again.

Actually, via the link, you can see that pg was using Stypi (I too thought it was EtherPad…). The link from the post works: https://www.stypi.com/hacks/13sentences

Edit: Okay, I was wrong. It was originally Etherpad: http://paulgraham.com/13sentences.html

I hadn't previously heard of this, but had signed up for Pixelapse. My curiosity (and a quick visit to Google) led me to this Quora question: http://www.quora.com/Design/How-do-LayerVault-and-Pixelapse-...

Interestingly enough, there are responses from both sides, and I won't get into it in detail here, but it is quite a read…

I think his point was that this could be a way to backup certain critical data without having to think about it… but that their history of hands-off customer service & support may prevent that type of use.

Firstly, the Google Authenticator application does not require a network connection. See: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1...

If you are planning to be without your phone, you can always disable 2-step verification temporarily: https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...

Finally, if you lose your phone, you should always have your single-use backup verification codes to allow you to login.

If you win, all subsequent games only have a single mine.

Check out the kickstarter page for the product: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper... . It's very clear about Bluetooth being the method of communication.

I'm pretty sure they are practically equivalent phrases. Having the phone would imply being a user of the phone, and vice versa.

It is open-sourced?

No, that's definitely wrong. It's a common error, though, and in a lot of cases people don't even notice (especially when it's clear that it doesn't sell for part of a cent).

No, but they maintain a fork of tmux that integrates into the iTerm UI to provide that type of functionality. It's a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely.
