I wish they went into more detail as to how they did that.

Well, you should expect practical information on beating stealth to be about as easy to come by as practical information on building nuclear weapons. That said, the wikipedia entry for Nighthawk has a little more information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-117_Nighthawk#Combat_losses

According to NATO Commander Wesley Clark and other NATO
generals, Yugoslav air defenses detected F-117s by
operating their radars on unusually long wavelengths,
making the aircraft visible to radar for brief periods.
It is also possible that the aircraft was visible due to
a disruption of its radar signature caused by open bomb-
bay doors. This was the justification given by Colonel
Dani in a 2007 interview.

And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_technology#Radar_stealt... has information about stealth technology counters in general, the sort of thing you might find in a radar engineering handbook.
nice, it would be interesting another one but focused on frameworks

I have been using Workflowy for about 2 weeks now and have a 2 week history of things I have done, didn't get completed and meeting notes.

I love that I can keep all of this in one place without worrying too much about formatting.
Someone is betting big against Facebook:

[...]after talking to institutional investors who were having trouble finding a way to invest in Facebook. He expects to raise at least $100 million for his Facebook-specific fund.

By creating derivatives of the stock, the investment firms are helping Facebook keep its shareholder count at 499 or less, the maximum number a company can have before it has to disclose results to the public.

Something like this:

Present Value
$100mm = capital
$20 = current price per share
5mm = # of derivitave shares held
-----------------------------------------------------
Future Value
Long Pos. = (5mm * expected price per share)
Short Pos. = capital - (5mm * expected price per share) + fees
My position is simple, and I don't think I have been inconsistent with it anywhere in this discussion.

1. If it is the employee's device, then everything belongs to the employee by default.

2. If the employer wants to allow access to certain company facilities or data using that device, then it is the employer's responsibility to ensure that such access complies with any necessary policies, without affecting anything that is none of the company's business.

3. If the employer can not or will not do this, then they should not provide the access in the first place.

4. They always have the option of providing suitable company hardware to the employee with whatever restrictions may be necessary to comply with their policies, at their own expense.

5. Arguments about how the company allowed but didn't require access, the employee consented, etc. are very weak here. Most employees would not be aware of the implications of such policies, and in many workplaces there is a fine line between what is required and what is not required (but if you don't do it we'll penalise/fire you). You're just leaving room for the employer (with its expert system administrators and retained lawyers and heavyweight HR leverage and much greater financial resources) to trample on the employee while wriggling out of any consequences.

I wonder if you'd feel the same way if, say, your identity was stolen because your home network was compromised by a zero-day exploit in whatever browser you are using to read Hacker News and a data-stealing worm sneaked in. I'm sure you're aware of the theoretical risk of that happening, and you chose to connect to the Internet anyway, so I guess you've accepted the consequences, and anything bad that happens will be your fault rather than the malicious attacker's.
For sharing - add YouTube support!

You might as well offer both pricing models - there's nothing wrong with one-time payee users and subscription users co-existing.There's nothing wrong with that.

While the free users are using the product, don't show them premium features, show them that this dim icon can be unlocked with a premium account or whatever (see RescueTime's mouseovers). Of course you should charge more for adding their logos. This looks like something I would sell to the university crowd - trust me, there's plenty of need there from what I've seen!

For marketing, get some hotshot instructor to use your stuff. Hmm, you should pitch to Michael Hartl to use your product for RailsCasts!

If it's the customer's responsibility to pay attention to the 4-6 week ship date, it's probably worthwhile for the seller to actually read the Google Checkout order management policies http://checkout.google.com/seller/policies.html which require you to capture funds within 7 days of authorization, and ship within 24 hours of capturing.

His "4-6 weeks to ship" appears to be in direct violation of the Google Checkout policy; you can't do fulfillment on that sort of timeframe if you want to bill with Google Checkout.

Singularity's a fun one, because its got more vectors than just Moore's law. Or, anyway, Moore's law is being played out in a lot more vectors than just IT.

I'm upvoting this because (a) I know that a huge percentage of you live directly on top of the San Andreas fault; (b) I've seen the upcoming earthquake mentioned a few times on this thread, but always in a list with things like "the Singularity".

For god's sake. The difference between a major Northern California earthquake and the effing Singularity is that one of these has happened in the last century and is guaranteed to happen again.

Not sure how I feel about exposing my database directly to a client. This means all security regarding reading and writing any data must be handled in CouchDB. Not knowing about CouchDB, the existence of CouchApp leads me to believe there must be some way to do this, but I can't see how this would be possible with MySQL or Postgres.

Cell level security in a database? Hmm.
I agree with the advice that stepping out of your comfort zone is necessary for personal development. But I also agree that rest (getting back into the comfort zone) is absolutely necessary. Some of my best life experiences were going out of my comfort zone for an hour or so then returning more enlightened. Some of my worst were going out of it for an entire day or week without any time to rest and reflect.

That being said, your points are valid depending on what you are used to. The social event where you know no one is a natural step after you learn to mingle with strangers alongside friends; if you haven't done that at least, the event will probably suck.
Timing is everything.

Before the Kinect hack launched countless discussion threads into a breakdown of USB sniffing and the like, I'm sure this project would never even have hit its goal.

France now requires makers of certain electronic devices, including smartphones and laptops, to tell consumers how repairable their products are. Manufacturers selling these devices in France must give their products a score, or “repairability index,” based on a range of criteria, including how easy it is to take the product apart and the availability of spare parts and technical documents.
it would be more accurate to say:

Would I bet $20/day that something will happen to this car that would make the rental car company want to be reimbursed for?

Depending on rental car company the limits of scratches, dents etc .. can be very low.
Agree. And as much as policies are in place, it is not unusual to see csv exports downloaded to local laptops for analysis as part of work.
Mechanical watches will always be a niche form of jewelry because to the casual observer they are indistinguishable from the cheaper and functionally superior quartz watches. And even if they have exposed mechanisms it takes specialized knowledge to know how expensive they are.

Give it a try. The lectures I looked at don't look like they require much more than being able to read basic assembly language, and some of them probably don't even need that.

The GPU lecture is particularly good and doesn't seem to require much more than basic programming knowledge.

Meh, it's an inevitable effect of the lowering cost of cameras and image processing. In a few years we will have 'social' data sharing networks (analogous to the blockchain) that will share results of analyses of all sorts of cameras worn by regular people every day and everywhere they go, basically a 'decentralized' pervasive monitoring system, fed by cameras everywhere - shops, car dashboards, phones, on private property, ... Think Facebook tagging is creepy, just wait until you get home from work and find a website with 50 pictures of you during the day in all places you were... Just a few people who contribute footage will be enough to map the vast majority of people. Imagine 10 people walking around in a shopping mall with a Google Glass and a dashcam; with enough processing power, that would be enough to map the locations of thousands of people per day.

I used to care, years ago - but there is no escaping it. The real question is how can we deal with such pervasive monitoring? I don't think anyone has a real answer, or has even tried to answer it (note that I'm not talking about pervasive monitoring by just one actor like the state, since what we will experience will be monitoring of all, by all).
Agreed, headline is for marketing purposes, but it means that folk stuck with an environment where they'd otherwise be forced to use PHP have a choice not to use it.
It feels a bit bubbly but a lot of the risk has shifted to the startup. It's a lot easier to get the small funds to start but harder to get the big bucks. The valuations make sense if you think about talent costs, customer acquisition costs, and that the deals often include a lot of stock.
Which marketing purposes, first thought that comes to mind is "from bad to even worse"?

It happens a good deal, it is probably better if I just leave it at the industry has a reputation for managers asking and consultants deciding if they want to bite or not. There are some very reputable groups like Primary Insight that work very hard to keep a legitimate consulting network, while others actively seek out inside trader consultants.

As to the value, the $400k they paid these guys is peanuts to what they make on this kind of info. If you have billions that you can move in the market and someone tells you "oh hey, Apple is building a tablet and it is going to drop this quarter, their internal market analysis looks like they will sell 3 million units in this quarter", you have basically just been given the keys to the mint. Because you are able to time you investment to the date range in which the tablet will drop. Meaning you don't need to tie that capital up speculating on when it will drop. The value is easily in the billions of dollars. I am surprised the "consultants" sold the secrets for so little actually.
I agree with the 'amateurish'. There simply is no logic that goes:

1. I don't like the colors, so the device is ugly.

2. Tech support is bad, so the product is buggy.

3. Getting a replacement takes days, so the product is slow.

All of them are valid things to mention, but not under those headers. #2 and #3 could go under a separate heading "support is poor", #1 should be a personal note that would gain more power if the review mentioned that 8 out of 10 people agreed with that (while mentioning their age group, gender, etc). As it is it is just anecdotal, just like the famous 'iPod ... Lame' remark was.
I don't understand why they make phones like the Samsung Captivate out of slippery smooth plastic. Phones are for holding not for squirting out like a bar of soap.

Yeah, definitely. Your best bet is to make your spec documents as detailed as possible, to the letter. Then, only hire someone whose references you've checked; ask them how reliable are they (do they randomly disappear?) and ask them how close they stuck to their initial estimate. I like looking on Craigslist when I prefer to deal with an American and Rentacoder when I'm willing to go international.
hmmm, hate to be a downer, but he sounds alright when you know the story, but if I heard him on the radio I wouldn't think, "wow what a good singer". In fact when I was playing that song my wife was like, "what is that?" and not in a good way...

but still, better than I would have expected someone with no original talent in singing to be able to achieve.

Looked up the significance of that date for Portugal:

Freedom Day (25 April) is a national holiday, with state-sponsored and spontaneous commemorations of the civil liberties and political freedoms achieved after the revolution. It commemorates the 25 April 1974 coup and Portugal's first free elections on that date the following year.

Nice bridge.

Roads I've driven on in Portugal were all much clearer of traffic, less potholed and better signposted than the UK.

In particular they have some motorway innovations we should steal: A minimum speed limit, and a zone around junctions where overtaking is prohibited.

Also, who needs to drive anyway day-to-day when you live in a dense, walkable city with public transport?

wow. wouldn't have guessed this would happen in a million years.

we are all well aware of apple's successes in the last few years, but they all seemed to be happening in their own little walled-off corner of the world. it's typically apple's tech versus the rest of the industry. now here's a sign that apple's influence is being felt at even deeper levels.

i guess webkit was another sign of this, but that doesn't seem as stark as some other company adopting objective-c.
What's the definition of 1 site, is it one domain (does it include subdomains) ?
The various civil rights movements got where they are today through the use of social repercussions. Do you think we'd be legalising same-sex marriage over the globe, for example, if it were still socially acceptable to look down on gay people as lesser beings? Or do you think we'd still be chemically castrating gay men?

The lack of social repercussions for things means the status quo stays, because there's no reason for it not to so long as it doesn't directly affect the majority in a way that they can see.

EDIT: Additionally, frankly, you can't make me interact with people, or support people, who refuse to accept that I exist as a real, healthy person who doesn't need to be "fixed". That goes against all manner of rights, and is severely unhealthy for me.
I've had first-hand experience with this but in the opposite direction. Had a cop cut me a break on a ticket and charge me with a lesser offense than the one I actually committed. When I went to pay the fine (this was a long time ago, before the internet) I was told the ticket hadn't been filed and so there was no fine to pay.

Fast forward a year and I get a court summons for this ticket. At this point I'm annoyed enough to fight it so I take it to trial. I argue that because a year has gone by, my Constitutional right to a speedy trial has been violated. This actually makes the judge (actually a "magistrate" -- still not sure what the difference is) look something up in a book before denying my motion with no explanation. Then the cop blatantly lies on the stand and says that he saw something that he could not possibly have seen. I have photographic evidence that proves that he could not possibly have seen what he claims to have seen. He is clearly lying to fulfill the statutory requirement for finding me guilty of this offense. Then the magistrate asks me point-blank if I was guilty. I take the fifth. Magistrate proclaims "the court will be finding you guilty". I pay the fine, enroll in traffic school, and proceed with my privileged-rich-white-guy life.

It's a pretty fucked up system even when you are on the non-shitty end of the stick.
You can still derive some fun from the nonsense and self-contradictions by trying to work out reasons for it. For example, maybe warp 9.975 can only be sustained for a limited time or distance. There’s a whole usenettish genre of Trek apologetics dedicated to this kind of thing.

What? You enumerated some of the hardest professions in the world and dismissed them as "not hard"! How many car mechanics you've seen turning into architect? How many developers you've seen becoming lwayers? How many lawyers became doctors?

If one doesn't have drawing talent and sense of perspective, becoming an architect is almost impossible. No amount of work will fill for that.

If one gets lost while moving in 3D, no way they'll become an airline pilot, ever.

If one doesn't get mechanics and principles of how cars/engines works and has a talent for working with literally dozens of tools, they won't become a car mechanic ever.
>This is precisely waterfall

I'm not sure I fully agree, unless we want to define waterfall as "anything where a bit of time is spent up-front to decide how a part of the system should work" :)

For me, waterfall is where every single aspect of the project is pre-defined, and cannot be changed during development without serious pain and lots of awful bureaucracy

But in the above workflow, there isn't anything stopping us from making a loop for example on a sprint by sprint basis, and using feedback from both the tests and changing requirements to improve the design, update the APIs, change the tests, etc.

I suppose we could argue that this is "mini-waterfall" but it works in my experience :)
