This is actually a pretty funny fact that I think most, including myself, have never thought of.
Apple's stand on privacy is quite flexible at the top of the pyramid - for example in China they were happy to axe hundreds of VPN apps which were allowing people in HK and mainland China access to content without risking being thrown into jails.

So I am unable to infer that Apple consistently puts privacy (and the right to privacy) ahead of profit.
Of course because. A mouse cannot keep up with the real world. In a sense a mouse is too good. With a joystick it's fine if your actuation is slow because the joystick allready soaks up a lot of that shitty interface.
To be fair the person you replied to wrote it’s the best accepted option in psychology.

Not that it’s actually useful.

Who really cares if psychology goes the way of the dodo?

If IQ is all the field has produced that’s of value and we’ve been doing grand engineering and science things since before it was around (grand in then contemporary context perhaps) what’s the field really getting us?

Does it build infrastructure, feed people, and heal wounds?

Given human propensity for shallow vanity and gatekeeping it often tends to be used along those lines.

Having a high IQ does not equal more political power over anyone.
I use software that works rather than one that feels like it works. And this doesn't.

OK, I get the point, which is why I removed the story. Do you mind deleting what I wrote from your comment?
well... all my work is scripted... so its ok to spend a little time on HN B-)
We have a copy at the office. It's fantastic at first glance - beautifully produced, well laid out, clearly written and sensibly organised.
Yeah, I would have expected a bit more either humor or toning down of the positives (too saccharine).

From a semantic analysis, this leads the text to seem very astroturf-y.

The best example conversation would be some humor, pop/nerd-culture references and aligned principle statements thrown in, along with possibly some chaff (ie, references/names an onlooker can't expect to know).
Space could certainly be done better (I think the key advance would be the ability to upload human minds to solid-state substrate - that would make a lot of the problems of living in space dramatically easier), but it doesn't follow that it could have been done better. It's part of life that we have to try inefficient ways of doing things in order to learn what we need to know before we can figure out the efficient ways.
We're all exited about Servo (and Rust) and I'm really looking forward to using it.

But what makes software that's used everyday feel great are the small details.

I can't use Chrome (for consumption, though I use it for development) because of the way it renders text and a few other UI annoyances.

A browser is a lot of things, but to me, it's first and foremost a reading platform.
So please, do whatever you can to use the OS's native text rendering.
Why is it that poor students fail so much more at education?
The end goal is the sustainable colony. The only way to get there is to have low-cost, routine surface to orbit launches. That is what SpaceX is working on now, that is their current goal.

I'm unsure of how you consider what they're doing right now immaterial to their goals.
Surprised that the article does not reference Lakoff and Johnsen's book Metaphors We Live By[1]. Whether one agrees with the metaphors or not, it's a welcome chance to step back and examine language at arm's length.

> Another is a JIRA consultant. You basically setup JIRA and teach an org how to use it.

What about the alcoholism to cope with what you've wrought on the poor souls?
One could use the pretty standard tuple notation: Rust (0, 9), KDE SC (4, 10). It's pretty common to represent version numbers in ways not dissimilar from that internally…
A 'semantic argument' is a core dump where I come from. Which is synonymous with 'pay-cuts'.
So now that he is at Google it looks like he is only really working from 9:00 to 4:00 (7 hrs.) at Google vs. over 8 hrs. as a prof, but in those 7 hours he is getting much more meaningful work done.
It took off after 9 months. I have NO IDEA why. I know, it's not sexy to say this, but it's the truth.
I'm not good at conspirology, sorry. Not going to debate it.

Facts so far:
Google.cn's government relations were a team of three ladies, which was a public fact.
This configuration is presumed to be suboptimal in china.
You could not figure out who does government relations for leading Russian internet companies.
Their public relations are largely done by women, and this is natural for Russia and doesn't seem to cause trouble.

A picture for meditation:

Did you find that it fit your dining preferences? Mine definitely had some truth to it.
Yes, it's something I'm experimenting with at the moment. You can select JSDOM (https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom) - which has the ability to handle JS - as an alternative parser. Set the following two options:

jsdom: 1
external_resources: 1

Or the explanation could be that Lisp just isn't that great. First of all, it doesn't even make much sense to talk about "Lisp" as if it's a language. The difference between the toy lisp you can write an interpreter for in a page of code and Clojure is night and day. And the other features are actually much more important than just being a Lisp. I'd be afraid to work with the "Haskell" that the smug Lisper of the article slaps out with macros. Not only would it probably not be as well designed as Haskell, unless they copied Haskell's hard work wholesale, but it wouldn't interop well with any other Lisp code.

Secondly, if you actually look at the defining feature of Lisp, S-Exprs and macros, it's not a good idea. Code generating S-exprssions may be more sane than generating C code through string manipulation, but it's still a bad idea and for the same reasons. Code is a human readable format (even if you force it to be S-expressions and pretend it isn't). Code shouldn't be generating other code, it should be generating more structured values. There are composability advantages to doing so and as an added benefit, you don't get stuck with S-expressions as syntax. I predict that in the not too distant future, languages will provide a better alternative to almost every current use of macros (we're already over half way there).
Well, there goes Full Tilt Capital...
This is really the best part of the article:
"In the meantime, the clock is ticking for the RIPE NCC, which handles Europe, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union. RIPE still has some 65 million addresses left—almost exactly the number it gave out last year. RIPE has a similar final /8 policy to APNIC, so Europe may be looking at a Christmas stocking with no IPv4 addresses in it by the end of 2011. Of course if ISPs rush to submit their last, big requests, it could happen sooner.

LACNIC in Latin America and the Caribbean and AfriNIC in Africa dish out relatively few IPv4 addresses every year, so they are good for several more years. ARIN, which handles North America, does give out a lot more addresses, but somehow managed to get the long end of the stick: not only does it have 61 million regular addresses left, but it also "administers" 75 million unused legacy addresses (given out before the RIPE NCC, APNIC and ARIN were formed). So North America should be good, IPv4-wise, for a couple more years. Maybe even longer. "

I haven't seen this type of analysis in any of the other IPv6 articles and is really the most important variable. Growth is important too, but I think it takes a back seat to availability and run rate. It's good to hear ARIN has some super secret addresses.

If we keep going at our current rate we'll probably see some of the RIRs run out of addresses. However, I think between ISPs buying back addresses, B2B IP address sales, and other IP market dynamics will extend the life. If the Microsoft deal is a signal, IP addresses are currently around $11, if bought in bulk. If I could put stock in IP address price, I'd be long right now.
So, uh... I ran this on safari in iOS 4.1, the deep lookup (1st row) came out fastest. That's not what's supposed to happen, right?
