> What are the odds of that? People on the left never lie?

Instead of just presuming that people lie with a given frequency just because they don't share your opinion on politics, if you're really interested in getting the facts on who struggles with the truth then you can actually check what they are saying and determining if their statements do pan out.

Otherwise, this "let's split the difference on lying" approach just looks like an attempt to whitewash the manipulative baseless propaganda spewed by a populist political group with an infamous track record of lying and arguing in bad faith.

It's growing though! Growing right alongside the Farm to Table movement is the Catch, Clean, Cook movement.

There's also a significant, separate overlap between computer geeks and people that like to exercise their rights (See: Crypto Wars) which results in non hunting gunowners.
> computing history is worth reading anyway

Sometimes, but a description of the state of the art in the past does not become a historical tract with the passage of time. The better ones do; others just become outdated.
Egads. The term is "generalist", and has been for decades.

No one would or should say "short & fat".

And yes, generalists are undervalued.

Yes, this style of list making is most useful for visually oriented fields and people. The focus on having a little bit of text and links on the images makes the concept more than an image gallery. Shopping, art, food are all broad areas in which people share and publish appealing photographs, and they're also ripe for socialization.

What was wrong with requiring a "101 Switching Protocols" response to an "Upgrade" request? Forcing the server to run four full rounds of MD5 just to demonstrate that it actually implements a protocol is absurd. And reordering fields to prove the server is indifferent to ordering belongs in an integration test for the server, not a real client.

When the Internet works, it's thanks to Postel's Law, which is the polar opposite of designing a protocol to maximize the likelihood of failure.

Yahoo/AP also did this for weeks with whatever was the lead Gulf oil spill article.

As a Dvorak user, I can testify that, while it may not be faster (I didn't have an appreciable speed increase after switching), it sure feels more comfortable and natural when you do most of your typing on the home and upper rows, and common key clusters fall nicely in pinky-to-index order.

Agreed, "spammers" are not the people who use CAPTCHA breaking.

The people that use it have very specific purposes in mind. Spamming through CAPTCHA'd systems makes little sense as it costs too much. That said, there are many businesses, large and small, that use breakers to engage in commerce.
Okay, so bad guys can bypass captchas really easily now for pretty cheap. Anyone want to make a GM script or something so normal people can use this as well to answer youtube and other captchas? I'd pay $1.39 to not have to type captchas in for a month or so of just normal internet use. I'm not trying to spam, just communicate.. Death TO captchas.
Can you give an example of some of the "darker" projects?

"We probably shouldn't talk about viruses or security flaws, either -- might give someone the idea that it's ok to break into a machine. We ought to respect it by not discussing such things."

I interpreted the OP to be more disgusted at someone making a business out of actively circumventing a control then we discussing that it exists.

That is a bit different than discussing the existence of flaws. In this case it's making money off actively exploiting the flaws.

From the slides leaked at 31c3 and by Der Spiegel that's not the case.

They want everything.

Even if you're not a target you're of interest -- either as a vector to a target.(someone you know, regardless how many "hops") some thing you have (information, or equipment/infrastructure as a proxy or platform for attack)

Think of this example: you've ssh access coincidentally to a VPS on the same metal that coincidentally runs another VPS that belongs to a guy, who as a favour runs a totally separate server that hosts a "bad dude"(tm). Everybody in that chain and everybody connected to every one involved with the hardware are direct targets, all of their work colleagues are for the same reason.

Now extend that up and down every technological stack and industry and you'll see how capricious the notion is.

And if you're not a US citizen, you've no rights so who gives a shit? If you happen to be a US citizen, you've still no rights because the people targetting you will just be members of another Five Eyes organisation.

The world is full of Very Serious Issues, to which there are massive amounts of bytes of writing dedicated on the internet. Once this one has blown over, it will be something else - tasers, a war, health care, the deficit, etc... etc... If you really think about it, a few inconvenienced/embarassed/violated people in the US are pretty small potatoes compared to a much larger lack of freedom in a much larger country (China), hunger in parts of the developing world, and things like that.

In short, your comment isn't really explaining anything.

I thought I'd explained clearly why the comment was wrong, and I have explained elsewhere more about what's really going on.

Same here, but you can't let them take your soul, just drink a cup of coffee and get to work. Any idea would be good, because it's your idea.
Execution on the technical side means implementation, while on the business side it means "finding money." It's as simple as that. Drawings/mocks, blog posts, bantering at bizsocial events, etc. don't qualify.

I respect the idea and execution and OK it is secure and everything, but if you can use your hands/brain to create work and get paid for that work in currency X, and then use that currency X to sustain yourself (pay bills, food, gas, etc), then the entire government become obsolete!! I am not arguing here whether a mature society needs government or not, I rather say here that there is a government in place (at least US) and this will be taken as a treason and a pure act of terrorism! (terrorism is any attempt to derail a government entity).

I am sure feds/FBI is in it by now! There was a lesson learnt for music industry when P2P blown out and basically the law lost and it is so easy even today to obtain copyrighted music/audio materials. I am SURE federal government will not let entire country economy to be at stake by some P2P currency.
These improvements have occurred over time, as browsers gain new features and new techniques are discovered. They (the jQuery contributors) focus on the features and optimize what can be optimized when there is a need.

The optimized solution is often much uglier than the simple but less efficient one.

I imagine there would need to be some work getting this to work with Node.js/node-gyp/nan. Can anyone speak to the implications of this project and using Go bindings with node? Is this something that could possibly be done with a current version of Node/iojs? Or will it require a new version to ship with Go support built in?

> which will trigger a build of V8

This part gives me the impression changes will need to be made in Node/iojs to support Go bindings, rather than individual modules being able to plug into an existing build of V8 in Node. But perhaps I just don't understand exactly what node-gyp is doing with today's C++ bindings..
In a downturn, I wouldn't necessarily assume that someone has sufficient gains to offset their losses. They could just be losing money.

Also, there are restrictions on how you carry forward losses and how much you can deduct in later years.

edit: I think the issue is you're being nuanced about the connotations of "accounting games" (I mention this downthread and argee that some tactics are straightforward.) the user [tiler] above, responded as if the recession explains how 35K people with $200K+ income had 0 tax liability, which is silly.
I used to keep everything in evernote, trello, google docs, email etc.. Then I decided that I do not want my most personal information stored on someone elses computer so I moved to txt files on my local HD. I had about 5 text files going with todo.txt, weekly.txt, blog.txt. 3yearplan.txt and such. Then I just wrote a javascript app that manages tasks for me using require.js, backbone.js, underscore.js, and bootstrap. Works great, uses local storage, I'm happy.

Thanks for clarifying. Every time I think I have a handle on website security, it turns out to be more complex and insidious than I thought.
I got hacked similarly on my blog and it went undetected when my wordpress code files were changed. Now I can detect the website/server is hacked using this php code http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2009/how-to-detect-if-your-web... (like tripwire)

This helped me a couple of times and once when a hack on my wordpress blog only showed different page links to the google bot!
Good catch. Given the increase in readership that'd explain things.
I have a friend who is a political blogger and sometimes a talking head on CNN/MS-NBC. They show his URL under his head while he's commenting on stuff. He claims that the traffic spikes are within the noise. Granted, he might have high enough traffic, so that these mentions can't generate enough extra.
You gave an excellent answer to the question I didn't ask. I don't need to be told why MSFT is unhappy. I want to know why Robert Hansen is upset enough at Google's practices that he wants full disclosure used against them.
I think your example proves that it is how features are used, not the mere fact of the possibility for use in a language, that creates the problems linus refers to.
I think you are right that people who hate the startup will not do well, but I have to seriously question your assumption that you have to enjoy yourselves _or_ want get rich.

In fact, I believe you must want to get rich, and enjoy what you do. If you don't want to get rich you won't have any incentive to get over the point that isn't fun and you won't build a big business.
"however, we've all got different preferences when it comes to physical attractiveness"

"this policy is a bunch of discriminatory, attractiveness-norm-reinforcing"

"why are they falling prey to the same arbitrary attractiveness standards as your local meat market-y douchebar?"

"And even when an old premium car matches new run-of-the-mill vehicle in terms of safety technology, both passive and active safety features detiorate over time: body looses it's rigidy, original air bags unless replaced which is costly are much less likely to work properly after 8 years or so."

I disagree with this strongly. The chassis stiffness and integrity in a BMW is engineered in - try opening the window on a BMW and 'squash' the window opening. It won't budge. Try doing the same thing on a japanese or korean car - it will easily bend to your arm. Same goes for suspension systems. Many BMWs run a full-subframe aluminium carrier for the suspension systems. These are lightweight, strong and isolate road bumps and NVH from the main body. They also last a very long time, unless abused or crash damaged. None of these features are in cheaper cars even today, even if the cheaper ones are stuffed full of airbags.

As for airbags - they run self-test systems each and every time the car starts up, so you can tell if they don't work. A friend of mine recently crashed a 15 year old Honda - and the airbag worked just fine. These are seriously engineered active safety systems designed to work decades after being installed - they're not like the battery in a Nintendo. Every single electronic feature in my 14 year old BMW still works like new, from the sat-nav to the mood lighting, the auto-dim mirrors to the electric memory seats.

Also take body integrity - BMWs and mercedes generally use a double-sealing door seal, and a closing latch strong enough to pick up the whole car. Again, not repeating on new, cheaper models. They're also hot-dip galvanised when built at the factory, so rust is never a problem unless you have poor treatment or crash damage.

I could go on all day. If you've spent serious time underneath these vehicles, the difference in engineering is night and day with built-to-a-price cheap cars. Also, take a wander around a salvage yard where some crashed vehicles are. That will salve your doubts.
This is what I think they are doing.
I appreciate the pragmatism from a "devil's advocate" point of view but think this is bad advice in general. What is an entrepreneur if not a visionary and eternal optimist.

Not that I don't broadly agree.
On the other hand, calling out a popular usage and giving the reason that it's "wrong" (rather than something you dislike on purely arbitrary grounds), is almost always baseless intellectual snobbery.
I don't think this cliched "I'm not interesting" logic makes sense. At scale, a lot of "non-interesting" stuff becomes interesting. Or a way to find a needle in a haystack. Why wait until it's urgent to focus on a particular person? We all are aware that the US intelligence services operate this way, right? I can't think of a reason why others wouldn't.

I used to play this game a lot on PS4. I actually dropped it due to the ridiculous loading times... I still assumed it was doing something useful though. I can't believe they wasted so much of my time and electricity because of this. Even cheaply-made mobile games don't have bugs like this.

Why would I do that? My ethics are that companies that do unethical things deserve to have other people harm the company in some way.

That sounds like a way better way to retaliate against unethical companies. They deserve it, and it is a good thing to cause harm to groups that are doing bad things to others.

A 3 filter Blueair 680i delivers 4x as much volume (400 cfm) of clean air (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) with an output 0 ppm (undetectably low). I can get my place (500 m^3) down to 1 ppm in 4-5 hours. No pollen, no dust, just damn clean air. Lets suppose 10 of these contraptions could accomplish the same thing owing to their less output and less efficiency: this would use several times more energy, be louder, be more maintenance, look awful, take up more outlets and space, and cost more.

I use Plantower PMS5003's, the same ones used in PurpleAir sensors.

Outside of a few bastions like the Times and WaPo, that sort of journalism has been dead for years. Local newspapers survive on the baby boomers who will still pay for their obits and coupons. Classified revenue has been decimated (in the correct sense of the word) by Ebay, Craigslist, and local facebook groups). It's a BAD situation - I spent several years recently working for a group of small local papers - this is all direct first hand knowledge.
Upvoted, but your comment sounds a bit self centered.

"Anybody who enjoys social freedom because others have toiled, and some are still toiling, for it should give up his freedom when the state needs it."

You enjoy many benefits because the "citizens" you speak of contribute to the state and make it so you live there happily and safely. Now when these people, together as citizens, feel like their "social contract" is being abused, they have a right, through the government, to put an immediate and sharp hold on your freedom to have the matter resolved.

Now in this case, if the police did not act, you can consider it as an approval. If you disagree with this method, you also have the right to protest in the same manner.

Edit: Also a protest is a nuisance, terrorism is an actual threat to your freedom.
But Intel does. In fact, I guess Intel takes costs from R&D, manufacturing, IP etc. and then just multiplies that by 10 to get the price.

Quote: "The company today launched the IBM Watson Mobile Developer Challenge, a competition it hopes will attract developers to create useful apps using Watson ... The challenge will last three months, and three winners will be selected, all of whom will get consulting help from Big Blue to build their app."

I advise people to read the fine print. If IBM offers consulting help, they may be able to justify appropriating the winning entries without payment or with a token payment.

I can't remember all the times a company that wanted to get their hands on some free software, instead of admitting "this is theft" instead said, "It's an exciting contest!"

If IBM really wanted to produce some high-level technical interest in Watson, they would put Watson online, in the way that Wolfram Research put Wolfram Alpha online.

To clarify, the issue here isn't just volatility. The companies in question haven't made any SEC filings in over a year, which generally means they're not really doing business anymore and certainly means it's hard to imagine a value-based case for trading them. The SEC often suspends trading after a few years of no filings (random example from 2020: https://www.sec.gov/litigation/suspensions/2020/34-89717-o.p...), and it's reasonable that a pumping scheme might push them to act faster.
