Actually yes, with the support of the majority. Zimbabwe is in it's current situation because Robert Mugabe started a land grab of the minority white farmers' land and promising to redistribute it to the black majority. This was extended to all major businesses afterwards requiring 51% ownership should be handed freely to locals. This was applauded by the masses, until it all came apart.

You could log data about the user (example by captaincrunch in their updated comment), directly modify the way the page looks (e.g. a fake virus alert page) or simply redirect the user to any site you want.

It's bad on a 'normal' site, but even worse here given their target market.

youtube can do this. kaltura has something, too. nice for kids and building joke videos or maybe for building your next presentation.

however, pro video files are BIG, and upload will take longer than actual editing process with usual upload rates.

More important: nobody wants to have a bloated webapp that runs in an already bloated web browser (all of them are!) and eats all your cpu power just by executing some cool javascript gui framework - you need every bit of performance for rendering.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or based in Denver, Colo.

Hello mobile app devs and designers! I'm a freelance mobile project manager who wants to make your lives easier when it comes to writing/gathering software requirements and marketing goals for your clients. I want to build a small network of trusted freelancers so we can provide clients with an agency experience without the cost (and with the flexibility for us).

Ideally, I work with clients who are new to software and the mobile app world (either iOS or Android) but desperately need their product description set in stone or some guidance. This should hopefully make your job easier, too, instead of developing something with little direction from the client.

If you have a client that fits this criteria, or are working on a new project that needs a project manager to keep everyone on the same page, I'm here to help.

Anyone who refers a client receives a 10% referral bonus from me.

My website can be found here: www.hudacsek.com

My experience: I am Scrum Master certified (for Agile teams) and got my chops working at a mobile development shop in Denver as a project manager. I am used to working with remote teams on very different time zones, too.

If you'd like to get in touch, please contact me through my website or you can find me on Twitter here: www.twitter.com/j_sm_n

Happy hunting!
Sorry for the slow reply.

I think part of what you are proposing Chrome already implements and calls "isolated worlds". Chrome extensions don't operate directly on the page's DOM, they have an isolated version of it (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/content_scripts).

So in principal, we already have the context from which we can decide which network requests to allow or block (this is already used today to allow cross-origin XHR from content scripts).

However, it is super gnarly to implement your idea in practice because:

1. There has to be a connection traced from every network requests back to the JS context which ultimately caused the request (e.g., by mutating the DOM). This is doable, it's just a lot of work.

2. There can't be any way to execute JavaScript in the page - even with page's principal. Such mechanisms exist today by design because developers desire them.

3. Even if you do 1 and 2, there are still channels such as hyperlinks. The extension could add a hyperlink and get the user to click on it. I suppose you could try and tie that back to the script context that created or modified the hyperlink.

4. Even if you do 1-3, if you can induce the page script (or any other extension, or the browser, or the user) to request a URL of your design, you win.

Sigh. Still seems fun as a research project to see how close you could get.
IBM is a software and consulting company. It's a very profitable business. Much better than selling hardware.
Having purchased an internet connected Hyundai (via their BlueLink service)... I've been curious whether I can access the vehicle directly through it's internet connection.

So far, sniffing the packets from the iOS BlueLink app, it appears to broker requests through a service by Covisint [http://www.covisint.com/]. From there, I cannot figure out how the vehicle communicates to receive these messages.

The payloads between iOS and Covisint contain tons of information about the vehicle, but nothing that exposes the communications between the vehicle and BlueLink or Covisint.

The vehicle has the ability to connect to Wifi... I will prod at that next. :)
In situations where it's unlikely calling a method will result in a NoMethodError, i prefer rescuing the exception over checking if the method exists first. This will be faster when it does not result in a NoMethodError.

In the "Enumerable#select.last vs Enumerable#reverse.detect" benchmark it would be interesting to know what the result of Enumerable#reverse_each.detect would be.

You know... I'm thinking about all the times I've heard people laugh that I have four full shelves of computer books. Hardcopy books. Actual books.

It reminds me of how people used to laugh at me for wearing my neck protector on my body armor in Iraq and the Philippines. It wasn't required to wear it, but I always did. People laughed, until they heard about a friend of mine whose neck was ripped open by shrapnel that would have been stopped by the same protector. He bled out on a random, dirty street in Baghdad.

I'll take hardcopy, thanks.

This sentiment is an artifact of javascript being used to add functionality to an existing document, which is still a very useful case for javascript, and it seems people are dismissing it, which is a shame.

When you're building an application, something like the atom text editor, or the youtube video player — something interactive and ostensibly not a document — the segregation of markup and javascript is artificial. Yes, it's a good idea to keep your presentation separate from your logic (although religious devotion to this idea is unnecessary, it's just an abstraction that's useful has stood the test of time, not holy law), but your javascript view code is just as much a part of the presentation as the markup.

In response to a sibling comment, you claim "you dont want to mix the 'structure' of your UI with the behaviour". The fact that your views have a "structure" to begin with is again an artifact of the web's original intention of hosting documents rather than applications. The structure of your view is actually an implementation detail (a concept that's formalized by the Shadow DOM standard in the WebComponents proposal), and separating it out from your view code implies otherwise.
The whole problem goes back to the early days of the web when everybody was focusing on making it easy to consume the content rather than making it easy to produce the content. To this date there is no application equivalent to Mosaic 1.0 that does not require either some 3rd party service or the capabilities of a systems administrator.

How hard could that be? And is it still possible (with the TOS of many providers now stating flat out that you can't run any servers on your line).
Is that people see other people as a competition for resources?

People are more socially capable than that, so I wouldn't look to such a base motivation first. Especially for people who don't deal with the scarcity of resources in day to day life. In general people are just taught to hate eachother.

Whether it's the countrymen of a foreign land when our government is mad at their government; or our next door neighbors that don't share the rigid political ideological of our favorite bloggers. We are taught to hate every single day.
The main coping tools are probably exactly the same as they are for anybody else, actually - just the stakes are higher for those with ADHD!

- Proper sleep. Probably the biggest single factor. I don't always excel at this. When I don't get enough sleep nearly everything else is moot.

- Proper environment. The exact definition of "proper" will be quite different for everybody, of course. Pay attention to what works, and don't be afraid to suggest alternate arrangements to your manager. You don't have to mention ADHD ever - just mention the facts ("I'm having a tough time focusing in the noisy part of the office") and provide a constructive suggestion ("Is it okay if I work alone in the unused meeting room when the noise at my desk is too distracting?")

- Proper diet. Another thing I'm not great at. But foods that cause sugar spikes and crashes make it hard to focus for anybody, especially me.

- Exercise. Really, really helps. (True for anybody, of course!)

- Lists. The key, as I learned from Getting Things Done, is that no task should be more than 10-15 minutes. If so it should be broken down into smaller tasks. Additionally, you must review/prune your list regularly so it doesn't turn into a big failure/guilt pile.

- Medication. It helps. For me it's only maybe 25% of the puzzle or so and can be rendered moot if I'm in a distracting environment or am running on no sleep.
Nope, they sold the retail stuff to Toshiba years ago.

Maybe that's the difference. No matter how cool the company is (unless it's, say, SpaceX) I have a hard time imagining that the work would be more interesting than whatever I could come up with to do on my own. Which is probably a big part of why I don't work for a big company.
For comparison, 3D ultrasound are mostly a gimmick for parents to see their baby face in advance, so to speak. I don't think there is any medical applications where it is actually useful.

Still it creates an incentive for doctors to get a 3D ultrasound system because parents could go elsewhere otherwise.

You can imagine that, once it becomes more mainstream, architects or estate agent with a VR device would get more traffic.

(Better, give me an online estate agent where I can preview the house in VR before going there physically. A few photos are OK but they don't give you a sense of size or volume. And you can't look through the windows to check the view.)
They look like a bunch of kids pretending to play Call of Duty in real life. Wearing masks, guns drawn, breaking doors, and all of it is not even necessary. They could have sent one detective to go talk to them.

They could issue a refund, unless Amazon thought his previous purchases were also unauthorized.
This is one of my favorite features of Common Lisp programming. The nice thing about interactive restarts is that the whole stack is there... so all of the previous functionality is available as discussed previously in the series. You can interactively inspect an object to see what slot values are causing a conflict and not only change the value and continue but recompile the method that caused it as well. And of course clever code could do this as well.

Restarts are a very nice way of handling known error conditions and I wish more languages had stolen this feature from Lisp before macros or garbage collectors and things.
Absolutely. I was at a local university, in April, where IBM had donated a mainframe. While the university wasn't sure what to do with it, it was spectacularly iconic, sitting in its own glass walled 200m2 room.

After a while, it had the effect of making students getting interested in banking and transaction orientated software engineering, completing the cycle, joining internship programs and maintaining the mainframe paradigm for the next couple of generations.

Wouldn't you? A massive mainframe you can play on as a student, no need for a VM, just log right in!
The commands are likely brokered through a cloud based service. It sounds like the OnStar hack captured the authentication token and used that to talk to the central service to send commands to the vehicle.

I think it is a bit early to call that. They avoided all-out revolution by letting go of the reins a bit, but in the slightly longer term things could very well still go pear shaped or result in a re-assertion of power.

You seem to acknowledge that in the rest of your comment but that's inconsistent with claiming it is a success already, it's mostly early days in a pretty risky experiment.

It is a cautionary tale. And one where, like people who "bought" their original DivX disks learned, and other folks have learned.

That said, Amazon will fix this. They are still in business and you can sue them both for breach of contract and to collect legal costs of suing them. Sometimes just a letter will fix it. But the next course of action is to create a new account as they asked you to do, and then provide proof of your previous purchases on the old account and tell them to transfer them all to the new account. I would do that in a letter (written).
He's probably trying to warn others thinking it's something nobody knows. Of course, we've all been warned about DRM for years now, but people seems to ignore the risks.
Filtering from 3% down to 20 individuals doesn't have to mean they really think they're getting the best 20 out of that 3%. It just means that they're not interested in growing the size of the program past that. If adding more fellows would spread resources thinner and reduce the impact on each fellow, adding good people from the rest of that top 3% could be subtracting rather than adding "millions or potentially billions".
Thanks for the feedback. We agree, it will be a better value with more videos. We plan on a minimum of 2 videos a week, and over time that will build quite a library. We are filming more lessons now, and are populating the site as quickly as we can get through production.
I can relate to that because it took me a while to using cabal repl actively as i code. Once i discovered cabal repl, I found that i could test my database (yesod) business logic during my normal development cycle. This was very re-assuring to me, coming from an oo, java background. Writing tests is nice, although having a small function to test a particular usecase while development is quite empowering. The only caveat, being, I seem to have to export my tests as part of the main module. There are ways to restructure it, say creating DBObject (export crud/management) DBObject.Internal (will all methods exported).

This is one place i miss the selective export of features that Eiffel provides. I am still not certain as to why other languages (except perhaps sather) completely ignored this seemingly simple syntactic feature that would have saved so many of us from creating parallel hierarchies as in java or artificial structures in haskell.

So let me get this straight -- which French "country" would you compare to England? The one that, by pure chance, happens to overlap with France-the-nation? Izzard's sketch on the tactical deployment of flags comes to mind.

Oh, and what "administrative purpose" binds England so much, considering it doesn't even have its own separated Parliament? Just because you have a west-lothian identity crisis, it doesn't mean the world has to play along.

You are free to refer to UK "countries" in internal matters (and football, of course), but when you go and compare with the rest of the world, you should be as honest as to compare entity-with-UN-seat to entity-with-UN-seat. Otherwise I might as well compare a couple of busy Italian blocks of flats to a Kent farm.

EDIT: I don't make this point out of some particular passion, but because your idea absolves the UK government of abdicating its responsibilities. If there is a density problem in London, enact policies attracting people to other cities, cities that actually need more people and would benefit from expansion. That's what other countries do. Coming up with arbitrary comparisons just to twist facts to this or that agenda is simply dishonest.
Some parts of San Antonio have had a choice of cable providers for some time now, TWC and the local competitor Grande. If you lived in those areas, service was actually pretty good. I I think I paid $35/month for 50mbps service from Grande when I lived in Olmos Park.
Thanks for the feedback. We will open up a full video as FREE very soon to address this.
The Kinect as-is really had no future. It was too limited for gaming and too clunky for anything else. I do think the tech is great - if not amazing, but only if its part of a larger pie. MS's Hololens with a Kinect reading your body/hands/face/fingers makes a lot of sense to me. AR that's aware of your every move can be big, perhaps even a game changer in some/many industries.

At my desktop, I really don't need anything like Kinect. I can type on a keyboard or use a mouse. Or swipe on the nearby screen. Gesturing is clunky in those scenarios. Now put an AR headset on my face and set me loose. Now I need some kind of remote input that I don't carry around. That's something AR needs and MS has a major lead here.
Oh, it is just the picture which makes everybody think "Image Processing". We see it as part of cultural heritage of the field.

Agreed! But think about it also from the perspective of someone who lives in a Third World country who wants to experiment with electronics, but who can't get access to electronic parts.

I'm not sure how you could create a transistor with it however.

I do know that you can create a diode out of a Razor Blade heated to a high temperature via a gas flame such that carbon deposits form on its outside, and a sharpened pencil, where a wire attaches to the carbon on the pencil, then you move the pencil around to find a spot on the razor blade where it works -- this was the operating mechanism in early Crystal Radio sets.

But if only we could create a transistor easily...

Isn't the whole capitalism based on promising people monopoly but not letting them actually get it? I.e. no profit-seeking entrepreneur in their right mind would act to create competition for themselves. Competition means waste of time and resources, so there's no surprise every player tries to figure a way how to reduce it, aiming for bigger and bigger pieces of the whole pie in the process. The state you described seems like a part of the natural evolution of market incentives.
Why car companies should be terrified of Google Auto
I agree with the author... In the context of startups that are very much in "discovery" mode (still doing big changes to their product) breaking the repositories in subparts is just a source of confusion for the tech lead. I would also argue it is bad for devs because they then need to manage version-binding between different repos.
Many repos approach is only justifiable if you have many teams with many tech leads each independently doing releases.
The OSS model is instructive as an analogy.

80% and shrinking of the fund market is closed and proprietary software. Its very expensive and relies on single points of failure, often one person per fund. There's a lot of propagandizing that they're the only way to invest or best or whatever.

20% and growing of the fund market is free open source allocation, here is TODAYs definition of an index now buy stock to reflect it. Needless to say its incredibly cheap compared to the closed source funds and arguably gives an overall higher rate of return.

Some of the lower rate of return of closed source funds is because of their massive advertising and propaganda budget spent to convince investors that they're a better deal. Sometimes, by obscure enough definitions of better deal, they are. Usually not. Needless to say someone who's paycheck depends on FUDing the free competition isn't going to have anything nice to say about FOSS or index funds.

The idea that FOSS or an index fund is a conspiracy is kind of weird. If index funds are made illegal on that ground, I suppose Emacs will be made illegal soon because its unfair to make individual proprietary editor writers compete with the entire world teamed up against them. "The right of the rich to privatize gains and socialize losses shall not be infringed" and possibly other constitutional amendments will be marched out in the corporate press, etc.
