IMO, this comes from the origins of bitcoin, they were used and developed by a bunch of cypherpunks and privacy enthusiasts. For them, key handing is paramount! They then created this mythos and sets of advice that were handed down.

But it can be used wither way. What matters is the freedom to chose.
Really interesting question, I'm sure Clev would have a better answer. My guess is that you're going to have a hard time practically speaking getting an investor to sign an equity document without any of the usual terms in those documents.
I don't want this feature enabled for me as a customer. Most of the time I go on my bank's website and generate online credit card numbers with a ceiling amount. Those come with a fixed expiry date (usually very soon, one month after card is created). I use this to be sure that I don't get trapped into a recurrent payment that I would have missed in the fine print.

How can I make sure that an online shop will not be able to draw money off my card after the expiry date? If I understood the technical magic here, that would help.
It's because many millennials demand to be entertained and have the attention span of a gnat. There are younger folks that can tell you everything about Kardashian's new ass but can't name the Vice President.
To be clear, you are saying that you didn't like Jon Stewart because, even though he was the best news source, he wasn't better enough for your desire?
You're probably not alone, but I don't think that opinion is popular, either. The reason why many people associate loud engines with powerful (IC) engines is because powerful engines, such as those found in racing cars, are loud. Often very loud. It's also not possible to make them quiet without sacrificing performance.

If you meant to say that you don't think much of IC engines in general, you could've just called them inefficient and be done with it.
I think their answer is perfectly sensible and perfectly grammatical. It's also clearly correct according to even the most basic notion of slope as rise over run. I honestly don't see the issue with this question. Not only does your answer not fit grammatically, but it's also less precise.
There are various times in history when vacuum cleaners, cell phones and browsing the web would have made ZERO sense to your non-technical family.

People will learn new words that define new things and then suddenly it will seem the most natural thing in the world to call it by that name.
It's the JavaScript that complicates otherwise simple things.

I was mostly using Ruby when I switched to Erlang full time 5 years ago and I really struggled with the syntax.

I have got to start writing Ruby again now (to use the OLE libraries which I ain't going to reimplement). Ruby looks like line noise now.

The key thing about switching to Erlang is that it is not a programming language choice. Erlang/OTP is an Application System that runs on one or more computers. We stick with Operating Systems (including super-ugly ones like the Unices) because of the benefits of knowing that your unwritten software can write to disk, speak to a network, use a GUI etc. Once you have started writing to an Application System where your unwritten software knows how to fail over to a new machine, you ain't going back.

The syntax could be nicer? Who cares? Love the one your with is my experience - oh and I really do heart the mighty Erlang.

I was happy to see that Notch knocked the advertisers off the top of the 'top contributor' list by paying $2000.

Also, I'm impressed (though not surprised) to see the sale crack $500 in about a day.
Cool. What is Posterous's business model?
This would have been more interesting and innovative a couple years ago, but now that everyone and their mother (and grandmother, and grandfather) are on Facebook, I think Facebook Groups is a fine solution that offers all the features listed here.

I had this exact problem twice in the last month, and both times, I found that everyone in the two real-world groups I was trying to bring online was already on Facebook. Literally every single person out of maybe 50 people total, spanning age ranges from teenagers to folks in their late 50s. I found it much easier to get them to use it than it would have been if I had to explain this new posterous thing.
As an example, the President of the Portuguese Republic said this to the USA Ambassador: "I met Chavez, and he's a crazy man, but we have 100,000 portuguese on Venezuela".

That's something that he definitely (spelling?) won't say again.

(Although this example is more of a problem with information leakage and not Wikileaks itself, Wikileaks greatly increased the easiness of acessing leaked documents, by allowing anyone with an internet connection to see them and analyse them for themselves, instead of waiting for the media)
My girlfriend is a locksmith, and she talks about this all the time. One of the techs will go out on a call, show up, look at the lock and know they can open it in 5 seconds flat. But if they do that, the person will A) Be embarrassed it was so easy, B) annoyed that they have to pay so much for 5 seconds of work, and C) will not feel safe with that lock ever again. The combination of these three things makes them not want to pay the quoted amount, let alone tip or be happy about it.

So, they'll sit there jabbing at the lock with various pieces of metal, blow into it with compressed air (This does nothing. It's simply for show), or tap it lightly with their knuckles for about 5-10 minutes. Then "POP!" it comes open, and the client is SUPER GRATEFUL.

Normally I think someone misrepresenting their job would be bad, but in this case I can totally understand how a lot of customers would argue about paying $100 for a lockout (10pm at night, the tech has to get out of bed, put clothes on, get in his car, drive an hour, pick the lock, then drive an hour home) when it only took 5 seconds to open.
>> SVGs are straight up vector images. Anti-aliasing methods employed by your browser or operating system have no effect and your icons will be noticeably sharper.

> I… what!? I’m going to say it straight, this guy doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding too, but I think what GP is saying is that icon fonts render through the font engine and are subject to sub pixel rendering (such as Microsoft ClearType) where an SVG is not. Sub pixel realignment is meant to make text more readable and not to make images more accurate, so I can imagine an SVG would render with less artifacting. What do you think?
Anyone here played Ancient Anguish?
Because often I need to highlight text in the terminal, copy it, then highlight text somewhere else (e.g. in a text input field in a browser, the address bar in the browser, etc.) and paste over it. Selecting the specific destination text I want to overwrite blows away my previous selection.

In many cases I do just highlight and right-click where I want the text pasted. But that workflow doesn't work a large portion of the time and I need a clipboard that isn't being wiped out almost any time I click on something.
It's a sub-basement from the perspective of folks for whom this is a second-order dependency. And it sounds like there are many more of them than there are folks that caught wind of this.

Regardless. The common practice is a year of emitting warnings from the software, that the end-user will see. That's prominent and allows package maintainers enough time to work around the upcoming breakage. Six months notice on a mailing list is simply not prominent enough, and it's half the standard year which puts undue strain downstream.
Although there are justifications outside of quantum mechanics if you, for example, already believe in the laws of thermodynamics. If computation didn't create entropy, you could reverse entropy. Of course, now it goes the other way. Since the universe runs on quantum mechanics 'below' thermodynamics, entropy can't be reversed because doing so would imply computation without entropy.
> That only happened if you ignored and dismissed updates for weeks.

Not true. I only use windows for the occasional game that doesn't yet work well with wine/proton. And every time I do boot it and start playing a game, it suddenly randomly reboots me.

No, I haven't ignored and dismissed updates for weeks. Indeed I haven't updated for weeks because I haven't booted it for weeks. But I haven't dismissed or ignored it.

And it's really annoying.
This is really cool. It doesn't seem to capture every app though - the first one I tried was Calculator, which just floated on top.
seriously the lack of context surrounding these sort of posts is lazy and awful.

> It’s irrational to lump them together with whites in the “advantaged” group.

Why?

The “advantaged” here isn't about transitory economic status but systematic racism, and the durable effects of historical racism.

The material you are citing, taken at face value, justifies lumping not only Asians, but everyone but Blacks and Native Americans, into the “advantaged” group with Whites, rather than providing an argument against lumping recent Asian immigrants into that group.
There is so much conveyed in his body language. A lot is expressed; surprisingly little made it into words.
I wish this article had been submitted under the original headline, as it much better describes the argument.

That said, I was surprised at the contents of the article. When the author described the "Internet Dissent Tax," I don't think he's describing anything new. Controversial materials have always been more costly and challenging to publish--witness Lolita, which didn't find an American publisher for years.

Rather, the dissent tax I find more interesting is the one brought about by 4chan and company--where loosely organized groups of internet users show their general disagreement with the actions of a company by attacking their servers.

It seems like companies doing business on the internet who take some action that could be unpopular with some of the internet's "defenders" must now take into account the "tax" they will pay for that decision, by having to deal with the attacks that could arise. One has to think that Paypal and MasterCard will be taking this risk into consideration in the future.

That itself is an interesting new social dynamic that I don't think we've really seen before, since it goes well beyond boycotts or sit-ins by affecting thousands of "regular" users, not just the companies.
Not necessarily. We already know that things like supernodes are selected based on network conditions. The 'server' interface could just be a reduction of dependencies so that you could run it as a daemon process on a server. The Skype Network would then select it as a super node so long as the server had the right conditions (no NAT, no firewall, fat pipe, etc)

It presumably would still need a Skype login, but that could also be used to control it. Accepting commands from a white-list of Skype Ids.
wasn't this what elisp was for, albeit it is very emacs centric.
Neither Windows.

All those web browsers, IRC clients, email programs. You can do pretty much everything inside an emacs.
Is there a way I can actually get my hands on one ? I'd love to.

This is a great idea, but the fact that it's implemented in Objective-C++ is a deal-breaker for me since I'm starting to use Swift in my iOS projects. From the docs:

"ComponentKit is built on Objective-C++. There is no easy way to interoperate with Swift since Swift cannot bridge to C++."
I like the steady stream of innovative projects coming out of facebook as of late, but I can't help but feel like there's quite a bit of overlap in their initiatives. Just the fact that there's a footnote about how this isn't react-native illustrates my sentiments exactly.
Is there any other way to work with Facebook Chat, now that XMPP is gone?
Just because someone changed their means of obtaining food doesn't mean they did it out of an unquenchable thirst for more. It's that simple.

Verizon acquired the Tier 1 transit network of UUNet/Worldcom. It has a huge transit/datacenter business. ATT(SBC+BellSouth) has Tier 1 transit network of the old ATT long distance. Centurylink has the old Qwest Tier 1 network. One of the things overlooked in the peering disputes is that many of the ISPs ended up merging/buying Tier 1 transit networks.

Netflix is one of the first ContentProviders to be pumping so much traffic that they will imbalance the peering traffic ratios of any almost any Tier 1 they buy transit/CDN from, except for probably Google, which ended up doing what Netflix is doing now: paid peering.
Thanks for highlighting this issue, we've slowed down the carousel.
> (Don't confuse ComponentKit with React Native, a framework for building apps in Javascript.)

As long as they can't describe it without citing React, this is going to confuse people. At the very least, the logline should mention Obj-C/Swift/Cocoa to differentiate the projects.
>At issue is a change to the market allowance — a wage supplement negotiated to close pay gaps with workers doing similar work in the private sector. It's a benefit often used to attract employees into highly technical jobs in the public service

So... quit and work in the private sector then?
The government doesn't have to select the lowest bidder, that is a misconception. If they think the bid is too low, they can "risk up" the cost, adding in the cost of the additional risk not accounted for. The FAR specifies that they select for best value.

The two big issues in the US prison system are:

1) Treatment of prisoners

2) Number of people in prison

As a country we need to improve treatment and reduce the number of people imprisoned quickly.

If there is anyone located in San Francisco or northern south bay that wants to get together and do a hackathon with the focus of building something that generates either awareness or solves a particular problem we should meet up for coffee. I can meet anywhere in the Mission to discuss it. (Contact info in profile). I am currently swamped running my business but I would figure out a way to take a weekend off to build something.

I'm not sure Apple would buy DropBox unless it was defensive (i.e. they wanted to keep it out of a competitors hands). Isn't DropBox a front-end for Amazon s3? While DropBox does much of the magic, it's unclear to me how feasible it would be to shift to another storage solution. Presumably Apple wouldn't want to be in bed with Amazon, would they?

Yes, I can see why for transferring your media library, and backing up your device, you might prefer to do this over a wired connection to a PC.

But it still seems a bit crazy that I need to connect to a PC to activate the device in the first place.

Connecting to a PC should be optional for if and when I want to backup, or transfer media, over a wired connection.
Ink is a really good movie - obviously subjective, but its a must see.

That point aside, there's something I just don't understand about some pirates. Why do they insist on justifying stealing? I understand that, in this case, its the owners of the art saying it worked out for them. Generally though, just steal and shut up. Someone else (possibly an evil conglomerate) owns the work and they have every right to discard your economic theories. Sure, you can stick it to them, but, again, why justify it?

Is it because people don't think art should be owned?
Unnecessary depends on the problem at hand.

C is a lot of unnecessary pain if you're writing a web application.

Implementing an embedded control system? Very necessary pain.
Stealing is wrong in any form, but I have no sympathy for the losses major studios and record labels have suffered due to online piracy. Illegal downloading hasn't robbed the industry from profit, Avatar/Inception/The Dark Knight box office sales have disproven that. What has ended, is the business model of putting garbage inside a shiny mystery box that people have to pay for the opportunity to peek inside. Gone are the days of cd's that have one good song and fifteen filler tracks, movies that show their only worthwhile parts during the trailer leaving the story begging for a plot. Forget you Hollywood, I hope your industry suffers needlessly for years. The 'mystery box' business model only works when people can't preview the garbage inside
By any chance was this call-center servicing the same country (or a country with similarities in culture and language) and where you properly trained by the company? I should have added to my comment that I meant most outsourced call-centers in which employees are nothing more than people to fill seats that either commit mischievous actions or make stupid mistakes. I have no quarrel with a call-center servicing people in the same language or high end call-centers in which people are either highly trained or only hired if they have the skill set required for a specific job.

There is also a call-center in my country that is dedicated to translation services. They are of course exempt of my contempt as they only hire translators with the capacity to translate from x language to english in a timely and concise manner. They offer pay that is considerably a lot higher than regular call-centers and they vet and test their employees before hiring. Once again I was targeting call-centers in India, Central America, and Africa that are full of thieves and morons. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, but they are surely the minority. By a long shot.

No, what this is, is cheap shelter.

The rest of what you are saying is just an inability to cope with reality. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

It is hard, and deeply troubling, to accept that there is such a large group of displaced people in the world who could use something like this.
I'm currently in charge of answering reporters on a HackerOne program and I can tell that the way Slack is managing its own is completely unacceptable. Those reports were really high quality ones, whenever I receive a report like that I cry of joy. If you run a bounty program you should:

- Be ready to answer every single report on a short timeframe

- Be fair and provide feedback to the reporter

- Be nice, be thankful and reward the researcher if they deserve it

- Be patient with the duplicate reports and people just trying to get an unfair HoF

Otherwise it may backfire you and eventually it will.
Maybe "social" isn't the right word, but it's a break from isolation. I find that going to the gym just to get out of the house and be in the presence of other people seems to make me feel better. I don't really talk to anyone there, unless it happens to be someone I already know.
Homebrew STM is a pretty common and simple in principle. I used to have a chemistry prof who would guide a group of high schoolers through building an STM head each year.

It strikes me as bizarre that something as old and as important as git is to the general version control problem, doesn't have a beautiful, complete and helpful user interface.

With the status quo how it is, I definitely love articles like this because every time I use git I get a kind of anxiety that fades only in proportion to the depth with which I understand actual git mechanics.

The thing I find strange is that when I interact with databases that have beautiful, helpful user interfaces, I have almost none of this anxiety, and just kind of accept "black box that handles things", and move on with my life.

I figure I must not be alone in this psychological niche. Which again, makes it bizarre that the problem of giving git a beautiful, complete, helpful front end has not been solved.
China already enjoys a massively lopsided business advantage compared to the US. It's an uphill battle for non-chinese companies to operate in China, for one China requires that part of the ownership of the chinese venture must be owned by Chinese nationals, which means that the CCP also gets to sit on the board and see and influence everything they do. I can't think of any other major power that is this xenophobic.
