Most boarding passes of mine end up as bookmarks in whatever I'm reading on the flight. I've come back to books years later and discovered I was reading that on my 2005 Sydney trip or 2006 Port Douglas holiday etc. (OT - Adds to my connection with the book!)

My favorite of them all is the one by JJ at Graphicology (the one with a verbose text).

I think a lot of the tickets are expensive (given the large size fonts and I'm not sure but large blocks of even black ink).

The one with JJ is so, so easy to understand and maintains ink cost.
Are undocumented workers even counted in the unemployment rate? What percentage of Texas' workers are undocumented?
At the very core, he has a point. The delivery I don't care for, but again. He does have a valid point. It's hard to say that the AppStore wants quality.

But like I said in a comment earlier today, I'll gladly welcome a lack of 'quality' for a nice big helping of choice as a consumer.
I don't buy this. His name is not news. It is not important. If they just said "young Apple engineer" the news value of the whole thing would be exactly the same. If somebody that the public cares about loses an iPhone, the name is news. If it is just a random person, well the news value of the actual name is almost none.

Actual responsible journalists often withhold names of ordinary people that get into news stories if disclosure would be embarrassing or damaging for those people. For example, the names of people that are accused of crimes are usually not disclosed by journalists until these people have been charged. The names of people that are killed or injured in a newsworthy event are also usually not disclosed. The names of victims of sensitive crimes like rape or sexual harassment are usually not disclosed.

Of course Apple know he is the one who lost it, but now every future potential employer will also know. And again there was no reason at all for his name to have been made public.
Actually I think the worst thing they can do to you involves detainment without trial and something to do with water+boards.
Showing the guy's name, photo, and facebook page is gratuitous and wrong. Dude's already having the worst week of his life, and now they're splaying "this guy was the idiot who lost an iPhone prototype" all over the web? I buy that celebrities should get that treatment because they signed up for it going in[1], but this is just some average guy in a normal profession who was just trying to keep his head down.

Developing the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
It kinda bothers me how the bars at the top and bottom are not centered.
If they fire him now, it's CYA. "A prototype has gone missing" might get Steve Jobs or Jon Ive or whoever fretting, but "the fourth generation iPhone is sitting in Gizmodo's office" has to be resulting in legendary anger from the top floor, and I can totally see the manager saying "we canned the guy and we tightened our testing restrictions" to placate upper-level anger.
Oh, believe me, I know. That's why I said it caused me much gnashing of teeth. SSH, particularly OpenSSH, is such a thing of beauty. It's a shame most sysads that I've dealt with abuse it like it's rsh and telnet.
But do they match what the model said 5 days ago it would look like in 5 days time?
Chicken meet egg. Egg meet chicken.

Man, how often is this guy going to hear: So you're the guy who lost the iPhone? That's going to get old.
I don't think Denton deserves all the credit for this controversy - although he's an easy target because he's the face of Gawker.

The authors and editors of Gizmodo are responsible as well...
Binary search is easy. Unless you're going to force me to do it with a Turing machine, and all names and notes must be in pig latin, and I have to do it all while gargling lemonade.

But, then, that wouldn't exactly the fault of binary search, would it?

There's a reason incremental testing is normal practice. It makes you smarter.
We do try to analyze it, but not quantitatively.
Simply put once a news source starts omitting facts based on what they think is relevant that's the beginning of the end. News sources should report the facts in as complete a fashion as they are capable of doing. To do otherwise is to open the door to abuse. What's to stop a reporter from leaving a friend out of a story while reporting his coworkers were involved in some malfeasance? In that case the coworkers then look more guilty in comparison to their unmentioned friend who appears innocent because he wasn't reported in the story. That's just one example of how omitting facts can lead to dishonesty in reporting
Might be better to use an ip address that won't actually point to a machine. Pointing arbitrary names to localhost is probably 99.999 percent safe... but better fully safe than sorry. rfc3330 mentions example ip addresses that are reserved for documentation purposes. Might be able to use those.
No. I've never misplaced something that could cost my company thousands of dollars and I'd like to believe I wouldn't be foolish enough to even bring something like that into a bar with me.
Gray is a good friend of mine. There is no chance in hell that he stole that phone and sold it.

It seems like it would only make evolutionary sense if the males noticed the difference.

Aside from whether Gawker was right or not to name Gray, it's reasons like this why I will never work in such a secretive environment like Apple.

It's not that I can't keep a secret, of course I can. But I think it is asking a lot of someone to take a development/unreleased phone into the wild that could be worth $millions to Apple and make sure it doesn't get lost.

Before someone says "Well he didn't have to take it to the bar" - well hold on. As a product manager myself, I know first hand how important it is to spend a large amount of time test-driving your product and eating your own dog food.

To get really good ideas and feedback on a device like an iPhone, it probably is required to take it outside of the office and actually use it "in the wild".

I just don't think I would want to shoulder such responsibility, esp as we can now see the public fallout from loosing it. You can imagine the private fallout that is also occurring right now for Gray.

Some jobs are just not worth having, and maybe this is Apple asking too much of its engineers and product people.
Apple can't really control for quality when they've got a million apps in the store. I mean, the idea of rejecting crappy apps probably came about when people were thinking "oh, apps will trickle in a few hundred at a time" instead of flood in. So they take steps like saying "must use Apple tools". On a Mac, cross-platform Java/QT/Wine apps that totally ignore UI custom are incredibly annoying, so that's probably where Apple is coming from in terms of viewing "non-Apple tools" as resulting in poor UI.

And it's silly to ask why Apps are censored but movies/music/TV isn't. The answer's obvious - iTunes includes parental controls for media that allow for blocking content based on industry-standard ratings, and there's no such rating/control system for apps. If the App Store contains a Daily Tits Calendar App, then parents have to completely block their kids from getting apps from the App Store themselves, whereas parents can let kids buy PG-13 stuff in the iTunes store without worrying about them buying R-rated movies or explicit songs.
Without delving into the details -- how many were minutiae or symbolic resolutions? -- the numbers aren't directly comparable. Also, since Texas only meets every other year, you'd have to include two years' of California's bills in any comparative analysis.

Some other Texas totals for the 2008-2009 two-year period:

Late budgets: 0

Debts paid with ad-hoc IOUs: 0

Credit rating downgrades: 0

State worker involuntary furloughs: 0
I mentioned "juice bills". These don't even have to pass; they exist just to shake the money tree of interests that want to stop them.
it's hard to decide to jump to it when it constantly sounds like there's going to be something even better just around the corner.

Welcome to the computer industry. That there's something better just around the corner hasn't stopped people who have wanted Apple products for the past 20 years from buying them, to the point where Apple even ends up giving late adopters refunds if they buy something that Apple drops the price on within some limited amount of time after they purchase it.

Gizmodo's attitude is making me sick. All of these articles have such a "haha, gotcha!" attitude towards Apple (and especially Gray) for no reason at all. Apple is secretive about their products, so what? You got the prototype. Take the photos and report on it. There's no reason to divulge all this information about Gray. Apple knew who lost the phone already, since they were able to wipe it remotely. Their snide remarks and attitude in both http://gizmodo.com/5520479/a-letter-apple-wants-its-secret-i... and http://gizmodo.com/5520438/how-apple-lost-the-next-iphone make me feel as if the Gizmodo writing staff consists entirely of 8th graders.
So news articles about sexual abuse should include the name, age and address of the victim? After all, who is to say it is not relevant to the story.
With $12.5M in funding, will Knewton make the grade?
Applications in the App Store can be rated "R" or "mature" or something like that as well. At one point there was a nice pocket shitstorm because Apple was requiring anything pulling in content from the internet to carry this rating. Because kids might search for "fuck" in your twitter app.

Also, not to sound like a broken record, but Playboy app is there and doing well.
Lower property prices are due to lower restrictions on building/zoning in Texas (compared to California).

Building a new house in Texas is easy and cheap; in California it is nearly impossible, and very expensive.
The iPhone 3G design leaked more than 2 months before it's launch also although there was no concrete proof it was real. I know Apple stokes the hype to its maximum value but hopefully they're also realistic and don't punish this guy too harshly. It's the 4th generation of a product. No real surprises here.
Yeah, I was just bitten the sort order one a few days ago; the key was 12octet-long unsigned integer, I combined 64bit comparison + 32bit comparison, and gotten the endian mixed up.

I used the same compare function to generate the sorted table, and also testing. So everything seemed to work fine in my unit, but once I took externally generated data...

My unit also involves b+tree and somewhat complicated merge sorting, so I first suspected they were broken and wasted several hours hunting down the wrong path. Indeed this article is good to remind me that I'm in 90% of folks.

We've built a little web app which is based on something used internally at our company for years.

Essentially it's an online in/out board.

The idea is that you sign-up, invite your co-workers and then you can all keep track of each others status throughout the day.

Most useful for small teams, especially if you don't have a dedicated receptionist.

It's free. We've tried to make sign-up reasonably painless.

Your feedback would be most appreciated.
Whatever the actual resolution is, the iP* line definitely needs the upgrade. It's amazing how "fuzzy" everything looks when I switch from my N1 back to my iPod Touch. It makes a very noticeable difference when displaying and reading web sites.

I'm sure if it wasn't for Apple's amazing design skills this would have made their devices look outclassed long ago, but because everything is so beautifully done they have gotten away with 320x480 well past its use by date.
The reason the frontpage has the stories it does is because they're the ones users have voted for. If you want different stories, the solution starts with you: try voting for some. You haven't voted on any of the stories currently on the frontpage.
It wasn't just Bush people weakening the traditional "20% equity" threshold. Lots of political and government efforts, including the government-sponsored mortgage subsidizers Fannie and Freddie (deeply linked with Dem party leadership), were bending longstanding practice to promote home ownership by all and loans to previously "underserved" borrowers.

Like Texas, Canada also held fast to the traditional 20% homeowner equity requirement and was similarly spared the same extreme housing bubble and crash.

(Now, if some buckaroo lenders want to make risky no-money-down loans, that'd be OK -- as long as public policy wasn't cheering them on, fraud on both sides of the table was vigorously prosecuted, and the public treasury wasn't insuring the transactions. When government and big business are all pulling in the same feel-good, don't-ask-uncomfortable-questions direction, there's danger.)
After 4 years of studying Japanese, I can speak enough to carry on a conversation with strangers in Tokyo, order food in a restaurant, and flirt with girls. Writing is a different story, though. I learned hiragana and katakana, but nowhere near the 2000 kanji that a high-schooler knows. I doubt most people would learn enough Japanese to be able to work in a highly technical field where Japanese is spoken and written.
Oh god yes, this would be nice... my ticket ends up beaten all to hell by the time I finally get through security, mostly because I've got nowhere to put it but in my pocket.

But more than ticket designs, airlines really need to streamline their operations.

I just arrived back in California from Tokyo today, and about four hours of my travel time was spent negotiating with the airline, because they didn't believe that I actually had a ticket. Even though I bought the ticket by actually calling United and booking it, because I had some credit from a previous canceled trip.

They had a reservation in their system for the correct flight, but no actual ticket, and this was apparently confusing enough to everybody involved that I was able to actually fly from NRT to SMF via SFO without having what amounted to an actual plane ticket.

The above four hours doesn't include the two phone calls that it initially required to book the ticket; apparently, they've got a big problem with their outsourced call centers not actually issuing tickets to passengers. Or the fact that my return flight to Japan had the wrong date.

Let's not also forget that every ticket change incurs a fee of $250, no matter what the cause, and that they've pulled all the in-seat entertainment systems, and offer no power ports in Economy.

Nothing says 'take your money elsewhere' like a system that's inflexible, impossible to navigate, filled with opportunities for human error, and expensive.
I did not ask if you ever misplaced a top secret prototype device, and quite honestly I'm a little appalled that you feel you would be above making "foolish" mistakes.

I asked if you ever misplaced anything valuable or anything that mattered to you. A wallet could be something valuable, or your keys. Most valuable, however, would be your sense of compassion, which right now you have clearly misplaced.

Sure, but that's pretty much what this whole article is about. (It also points out that another factor is Texas having more stringent mortgage regulation, which makes double-mortgage-fuelled property speculation harder.)
Questions startups should ask a prospective law firm
Does anybody know how active a role Bechtolsheim played in the actual engineering on this? The article makes it sound like he personally worked on the design. If true, that's uncommon for someone in his position and I'm impressed.
> I think even this fits in to Apple's current developer strategy: Update or get left behind

That seems like the opposite of their developer strategy to me. They've resisted making any substantial changes to the basic hardware profile of the iPod Touch / iPhone lineup ever since it was released, presumably to save developers from having to target multiple devices (and this is still a point raised as a complaint against android all the time).
well, there's a channel for pretty much any major language/project on FreeNode (#python is pretty good), and #startups is full of YC folk.
Debate Zone.  Make your argument, get points.
I think you got me wrong. I'm one of those engineers who flip over :) What I meant was that the employers do not understand this behavior and all they could do to prevent this is to block access to the Internet which actually harms our work more.
One of the major differences is that OkCupid lets you search for people who've been online recently, and allows you to contact people without paying for the service.

The big tricks used by the pay dating sites are that they make it difficult to identify active users, and people can't read mails they receive without having an active subscription.

Many pay dating sites have "employees" or scripts whose job is to send vague messages to people with no subscription, or whose subscriptions have recently lapsed.

This means that there's both a huge pool of "dud" accounts that you don't know are invalid, and that you don't know which mails you receive are from real potential matches.

The end result explains their listed "full userbase turnover"; people sign up for their sites because they haven't been burned yet, pay until they realize they're being scammed, and then quit and move to a free site.

OkCupid isn't tooting their own horn in this post; they're just pointing out the numbers that quantify how much of a scam most major dating sites are. They've already picked up the people who've gotten burned, and most future daters who get burned will stick to free dating sites afterwards... so this won't get them many more users than they would have received anyway.

It just might stop some suckers from being parted from their money.
I only skimmed, but that was also the one that stuck in my head.

I think it's because I interact with boarding passes so infrequently that the data alone isn't enough for me to glean information – I need the explanation of what I'm looking at.

E.g., I know (555) 492-2882 (in the U.S.) is a phone number without it being labeled because I use phones enough to learn the format. I don't immediately know that Zone 5 is a seating schedule or a gate, because I don't fly enough.

I could see the design slowing down experienced fliers though (verbose UI tends to do that). It looks like the data is repeated in a just-the-facts style in the right column (maybe for that exact reason), but rather than repeating everything I think it'd be cool if the descriptive section was rearranged so the numbers all line up vertically or something for even easier scanning for those who know what the numbers mean.

I'm really impressed with that design solution though, and how JJ approached it differently from everyone else.
