I've seen this type of behavior described as "order anticipation", which I think is a much better term. "Front running" means that you are using confidential information that an order will be submitted. "Order anticipation" means that are you using public information and you are anticipating that an order will be submitted.

Dropbox, why are you ruining Mailbox?
Can we get someone from Dropbox/Mailbox to explain what is happening with the desktop application?

First development stopped for several months, then an ugly and buggy version was released, then the design was reverted back to the original one, but all the bugs and instability remained there. On El Captain, the application is just not usable, and the OS has been available for developers for almost 6 months now.

The apps may be free, but I think they owe their users an explanation. They've been very vocal on Facebook, by email, on the support forums, etc. Dropbox/Mailbox have remained silent. Their last Facebook post date back to June, and their last blog post to April.

I love Mailbox on the iPhone and the iPad, but it's useless if I can't use all the great features it offers on my desktop.

Criminal penalties agreed upon at the international level basically cede national sovereignty to the "collective" of nations. The individual has nearly no recourse against such crimes, since an appeal would need to go to Congress to change the terms of the treaty.
One thing to note about CRCs is that they are good for error correction but not good as hashing functions. I ran a bunch of "almost sequential" identifiers through CRC32, and upon producing 1024 buckets out of it, found half of the buckets had the lion's share of hits.
I don't think you can disentangle those two purposes. Innovation is encouraged precisely because you can profit from your invention.

I believe the cost and delay of patent litigation is the real problem. It's important to identify the critical issue before effective change can happen.

I'm one such sys admin.

"Ok" with sysvinit, sort-of "like" systemd and "hate" supervisor.

Btw: almost nobody considers the point about supervisor. A lot of clients' systems I manage are sysvinit or upstart systems, which use the init system to start supervisord and then use supervisor to (poorly) manage some services.

So even if I get why someone might like sysvinit better than systemd, I have no idea how someone can like sysvinit+supervisor better than systemd.

My beef with them was when we quit using the 'Pro' product. We were using a feature that let us do software updates and scripting, which was kind of pointless when we could do those things with Windows server or other solutions.

We then went down to the 'Central' version of LogMeIn, as it still provided remote access capabilities (which was all we wanted) and were able to save a bit of money. Well, two months later they billed us the full renewal price of the old product ($2499) and it took us 6 months of back and forth with them to refund that.
Actually not really :-) Total office space in the San Jose and 'South bay' area, which covers about 1/2 of what people think of as Silicon valley (people in Mtn View, Palo Alto, Atherton, and Fremont and Milpitas aren't 'south bay' but are often lumped into the Silicon Valley pile. Is over 109M square feet[1], the 'sprawling suburban square miles' add an additional 50M square feet. Midtown Manhattan was at 143M square feet in in 2013 [2], but I'll grant you its surprisingly similar.

What tall buildings give you of course is easier mass transit since you get better economies making a few stations which can serve a million, rather than a lot of stations that serve only thousands.

> I can guarantee you that they don't care if you are "on to them". They just stop calling because no one is picking up the line.

I think that depends on how big a fish you are to them, or at least your relative size in their food chain. If you have someone worth a few hundred to you every month, you'll probably put in some extra work if you can't get that money for a month or two to try to recover that source.
The NY/Chicago arb trade is futures vs equities. In other words it's two separate products with highly correlated prices. On one side are the futures contracts and on the other side are the underlying stocks (and ETFs). As long as the two separate products exist, you'll always have fast arbitrageurs. This is true whether the matching engines are 1000 miles apart or in the same rack.
It'd be easy plot income levels on the same map to see how the two correlate. It'd be interesting to plot other things like branches of chain restaurants, proximity to gyms, etc too.

Buying stock is trading future money than money today which is a real and meaningful trade. On the other side, I might want a new car, which means I want money, which means I want to sell stock.

Even stock to stock transitions can be meaningful as Bill Gates had a lot of MS stock and wanted a hedge so he sold stock. What he got was probably worth 'less' the diversification was valuable to him making the transaction a net positive.

Google seems to return lots of results for iOS Keepass apps. You'll want to vet them on your own. I use KeePassDroid on Android and like it well enough.
I'm thinking about going with KeePass. I don't want to deal with this again with 1Password if/when they get bought.
Dashlane is phenomenal for sharing passwords and excellent for auditing them.

There is a solution to this problem.

1. Change the phone number system to require 207 digit phone numbers instead of the current 10 digits.

2. Assign random phone numbers to everybody.

Now the only people who can call you are the people who know you. You have to actively share your number with people. If people call random numbers they will get "not in service" messages all day long.

We have 20 years of experience with NEW communication systems with NEW addressing systems where people can't connect without knowing your email address or IM handle. It can be done, i.e. it is workable to require people to share contact info before you can communicate. People will find a way.

When writing HTML locally save the files with the extension ".xhtml". This forces XML conventions upon the document so that when you open it in the browser it will immediately fail on the first syntax violation. This will help you learn to write better HTML.

When writing HTML be as descriptive as possible in your use of tag names. If you only use "div" and "span" for everything you are failing your users and destroying accessibility. Go read this http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ and the various supporting documents. You cannot claim to have mastered HTML if you have failed to understand accessibility.

CSS just takes practice. With the browsers being less divergent now and easier to code for its harder to learn a deep deep level of mastery. Back in the days of IE6 you had to become quite the badass to make CSS work cross-browser without a bunch of stupid hacks.

For JavaScript there are some key things to focus upon:

* The scope model (learn closures and nesting functions)

* events and callbacks

* xmlHttpRequest (AJAX)

* the DOM

* the Node.js methods

Don't dick around wasting time learning frameworks and JQuery. Just learn through the vanilla code and learn to solve problems as directly as possible. It will pay off in the long run. Pass your code through the http://jslint.com/ tool. JSLint is OCD crazy opinionated and extremely strict, but it is that on purpose. It is designed to teach defensive coding practices so that you can right code correctly the first time which has a significantly lower probably of failure and is easier to maintain.

I just ate a full meal from McDonalds this week for the first time in a while, and realized that I ate around 1000 calories, and was still a little hungry. This was really surprising, since 500 calories of healthy food can make me feel full.
This isn't quite a reason to jump ship for me yet, but I'll certainly be duplicating work to other services(which so far, I've found to be quite inferior).

Did you try 1Password (which works with Dropbox, Wifi sync, etc.)? Not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.
With KeePass I haven't felt the need for a browser plugin: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V is easy enough for my tastes. Plus, in Windows the "auto fill" works more often than not (reducing things to just Ctrl+V in KeePass).

There are multiple KeePass clients on iOS and just about all of them support things like Dropbox sync.

(as a layman) The original Out of Africa hypothesis had the "happy conclusion" that anatomically modern humans (AMH) evolved in a small group within Africa and then migrated out to populate the rest of the world, displacing (and not interbreeding with) older hominids. And everyone on earth is a descendent of that small first group, so we're all one coherent happy family.

The evolving picture today appears much more likely that some not-quite AMHs migrated from Africa to Arabia where they lived alongside and interbred with already-present Neanderthal culture, became anatomically modern and developed Upper Paleolithic tools/culture (which were perhaps actually an evolution of Neanderthal culture), spent a while fairly isolated and evolving in Arabia, and eventually as AMHs migrated out to displace/interbreed with the planet's other hominids.

So, awkward because it's a much more complex, convoluted story, with a lot more space for different populations of humans to have significant genetic differences. You're also left with Africa potentially having a population of pre-AMH homo sapiens and other hominids, with only quite recent back-migration admixing in "modern human" DNA.

Come on now.
One of the things that AMP allows is to know that is it save to prerender a page. Documents can be instructed by a viewer to e.g. only load resources visible above the fold and absolutely no external JS.

With general web content prerendering is pretty dangerous and you certainly cannot do it with say more than 1 doc at a time because it may use arbitrary bandwidth and CPU.

That allows for instant feeling loading of pages (because they are already loaded when the user clicks) which in turn makes users happy :) While all web pages can be fast, AMP allows proving that they are which makes such a feature possible.

A referrer like Twitter or Pinterest or Google could e.g. indicate: Clicks on these links will be super fast (because they are AMP docs). If users click them more (because they like fast) there is a strong incentive for everyone to be fast – and then we all win.

I don't think XKCD927 applies, because we only combine existing standards and restrict ourselves voluntarily to a subset of those. Its still just HTML, CSS, JS. Browsers do not need to change.

I switched to LastPass from Dashlane recently. I do like Dashlane better, but unfortunately no linux client was a deal breaker...
It is sad to me, because a different path would possibly have been better for everyone. When you see a young person die from an overdose of drugs, it is sad because they chose a path which lead them to an early death, and everything they could have contributed to the world is lost. Companies are like that too, although it's easy to feel like they "got what they deserved" I tend to grieve more for what they weren't able to achieve.

It is only made more frustrating to people who advised them that this was the outcome at the end of their path if they chose to go this way, and they could not listen.

I find that sad.
It seems weird that they'd put their software engineers and even customer support all the way down in Industry City. Unless you live off the D/N/R in Brooklyn already, or maybe in lower Manhattan, that's a horrid commute. Unless you actually need the industrial space for your job... why?

It doesn't specify what the penalty must be, however (does it?). For example, US Code, in the criminal section (506) it says:

(d) Fraudulent Removal of Copyright Notice. —
Any person who, with fraudulent intent, removes or
alters any notice of copyright appearing on a copy
of a copyrighted work shall be fined not more than $2,500.

They could make singing the wrong song a $20 penalty and presumably still comply with the treaty.
I think there is an important difference between LastPass and 1Password: 1Password stores data in a folder you point it to. It is never in any form transferred to their servers.
the "cash back" is nice, but I'm more talking about finding the right house (more important I think!)

With redfin you can (and, are required) to do your own discovery: finding the house you think are potential candidates and touring them. Redfin has an associate go with you to the houses you are interested in to show you around/answer questions.

For me, it took about 4 house tours before I figured out the house type I was aiming for. After that, then next 10 or so tours was just trying to find a house that offered the best bang for the buck (based on what I was looking for)

Ultimately, if you have the time available to do this kind of footwork, Redfin offers you "choice" that you won't get from an agent. However if you are time constrained or not willing to put in 40 hours over a few months to find your perfect house, then a traditional agent will be better.

Also keep in mind that I'm in the Seattle area, which is Redfin (and Zillow's) hometown, and as per the original article, maybe in other regions redfin's listings may not be as comprehensive?
To me there is a difference between a "platform" like twitter, reddit, where I think it behooves them and it's essential to society that they allow free speech in their forums. Or, to be specific, allow communities to establish their own speech policies.

On these forums commenters are essentially the producers and the operators harvest the commenters' input.

News organizations and other outlets of information where the production is inhouse, or at least, the content is more resource intensive, I think don't have the same obligation.
One of their needs is to keep their news and their bias and story (sorry, narrative) prominent, which is their prerogative.

I can see them however having "approved" or heavily moderated comments, but, again, at their volume, it might not make economic sense, unless they ship that function off to the Philippines or mechanical turk, but then they have to lay their biases bare in outlining their guidelines.

"Peace of mind" is false advertising, you should not expect insurance to provide that to you.

You will always have to worry about unexpected expenses, because insurance companies are never going to insure everything that could possibly happen, even if you get a good policy that doesn't dick you around on claims.

If you are expecting insurance to protect you from not knowing the risks, then you are taking a much bigger risk than not having insurance at all, because of the complacency that the belief you're insured engenders.
I view the "established culture" you mention as science too..based on certain observations. It's not that all traditional methods are inferior or superior. We constantly re-evaluate as we evolve.

Because I not only paid US$12,00 to them, but I have also invested time and thought in building habits and procedures based on their service.

If they their service becomes unworthy or cumbersome, or if I have any reason to distrust them, I'll have to look elsewhere, not only costing me time, but also giving me uncertainty and possibly having to choose a new service. And, if I have chosen Lastpass, is because I believe other services are not worth as much.
My point was when wealth protection is a tool to bolster innovation, then the incentives are aligned correctly. When people, or more importantly legislators, forget that and think the purpose of patents is to reward for innovation, we get some perverse incentives. In a perfect world, protection would be inversely proportional to the amount of innovation the sector is experiencing, and would also be scaled to the amount the innovation helps. But those are both hard to measure realistically.
