Surely what you mean is the only additional cost for tethering should be the additional data you use as a result?

It's not unreasonable for the carriers to charge those who use their networks more extra. It's all data but the differences between top end and bottom end users is massive.
"why are the characters in traditional Japanese paintings look very Japanese (slanted eyes, hairdo, etc.)."

So modern anime characters should look more like traditional Japanese paintings?

"How can you explain that a lot of Japanese women go through cosmetic surgery to get rid of the slant in their eyes to make them look more Western?"

Citation? How many is "many"?

"Why is baseball so popular in Japan?"

Because they're better at it now than Americans?
And to bring it all back around: that an exceptional person who could easily choose to live in comfort in dozens of countries, chooses to live in the USA, is a legitimate source of pride for the locals.

The number one product of a legal jurisdiction is providing a desirable place to live. The political system is designed to make citizens feel like the local jurisdiction is 'their' product. When your target market embraces your product, pride is natural and healthy.

An immigrant doesn't have to 'love' the USA more than the mother country; indeed the freedom to still love the ancestral land but build cool stuff here is one of the USA's greatest hacks. (Brain drain FTW!) The immigrant's children will 'love' their new land; that's more like a chick imprinting than any rational choice.
My biggest complaint is that queries with something like OpenBSD don't have the word OpenBSD on the page. I have resorted to adding the names of configuration files I know need to be changed in my queries (e.g. pf.conf).

I do really wish I could have a "NO" button when it asks "Did you mean this?". It might give some feedback.

A new 3G carrier, Videotron, just launched in Quebec and I was surprised to see that they offer the Nexus One:

I'm not sure how much they've modded it though, or if it can be as easily unlocked/rooted as one bought straight from Google.
CVE-2010-2884 , like most prior exploits in flash, has the potential to let the attacker run arbitrary code. We're not talking javascript code either.

BTW, anyone else think serving flash-based banner ads from untrusted third parties given its track record is well, the height of irresponsability?
This article highlights why I'm a fan of apple more than google. Apple is going to exert the power to control the carriers. Apple is about the only company that can, or will, exert this kind of power.

I hope google changes, and starts getting control over os installation.... But I can't see that happening.

In this case, the openness of android works against google.

As an app developer, I'm keen to put products out for android, but the combination of fragmentation and very slow adoption of latest releases by the android mass market are two of the biggest hurdles.

Apples market has little fragmentation and high hardware consistency.

But I digress. Without google imposing some licensing terms, android users are always going to have a poor os upgrade experience, it seems.

And I thin android is at risk of carriers introducing bloatware that you cannot uninstall.
No. She could 'work in law' in the same way in New Jersey as she could in Greece - as a 'jurist' or 'company lawyer', but not initiate court proceeding. Being admitted to the bar in one Member State does not automatically mean admittance to the bar in another Member State, nor does it even mean that one is eligible to just take the bar exam in that other Member State (although this last part is under proceedings before the European Court for restricting movement of persons within the Union.

In contrast, one doesn't even need a law school degree to be able to take the bar exam in any US state. (admittedly it's almost impossible to pass without one).
Couldn't you just put that in your signature along with a slew of other disclaimers?

I've been told that NDAs are mostly just a scare tactic and often don't have teeth in court, at least in-general, and in some U.S. states. I understand that contracts are important for business, and NDAs are an important tool in business, but I believe that NDAs leave a lot of leeway. Is that not accurate?
A git commit is a set of diffs, with respect to another commit.

Commits are thus arcs+nodes, forming a graph.

Each such commit has a unique name, locally and across all distributed copies. [actually a hash whose uniqueness is probabilistically "close enough"]

You can rearrange the graph, so that commits that previously formed independent branches of the graph are combined ("merged"). For commits with diffs on the same file, it either applies both diffs automatically, or detects that it can't do so safely, and demands manual help.

This is very cool.

--

(It seems to me) that the really clever parts of git are (1). the diff algorithm (which is old); and (2). the merge algorithm, including the detection (I don't know if it's old or new; maybe it's as simple as detecting overlap; but you want to prevent automatic merge if there's even a chance it might be wrong - probabilistic again).

What scares me about git is that there is no (simple) undo - and perhaps no undo at all in some cases; and that the commands aren't quite regular (like many unix tools). My experiments with it (doing weird things of course) often lead to messy, messed up graphs that I couldn't get out of.

It shouldn't be that hard. You have a bunch of nodes, you mix and match them one way, you mix them back.

--

I believe there exists (a). a very clean, clear, safe and regular model of these ideas that always works exactly as you'd expect; (b). a ui (commandline or gui) that reflects this model, simply and cleanly.
It's just that I don't know what it is.
It seems that only Apple is left trying to maintain control over the device/experience/software. This is a shame since with some decent competition (read: Google), the grip of the carriers could have been loosened further.

Jobs deserves credit for convincing the carriers to relinquish some control (despite the fact we might not like who he made those deals with). It would be tragic if things went back to the way they were before.

Probably not a good idea to put any political figure with a popular following on your front page - why alienate a segment of your audience?
Not a very good book. Oreilly publishes a similarly named and more recent book that I expect is better. I do have this book, and it probably was really useful in the days of swing, but for web applications it misses the mark by a wide margin.
This is absolutely incorrect. EB2 Visa (i.e. Employment Based Category 2 Visa) definitely needs employer sponsorship. Also, there is no EB2 (C) category. (C) -> Probably specifies that the particular visa category is 'Current'.

The EU isn't a country though, and it will never be one; different cultures have different values and often don't want to live under the same set of laws. Personally, I think this is a good thing. If you're oppressed under one countries set of laws at least you always have the option of leaving.

Here we have a painful example of the biggest problem with circumvention tools: the people writing them don't have the resources to compete with their adversaries.

It's easy to assume that knowing how to code with sockets and call into a crypto library makes you more clueful than the people running "the great firewall" or whatever it is Iran has. They're trying to censor the Internet, how smart could they be?

Well, they're smart enough to pay someone a million dollars to break a circumvention tool without giving it a second thought. The Tor project, which actually has some software security talent, couldn't clear the "adversary with $1MM" bar (they screwed up Diffie-Hellman). And Tor has an "easy" problem; stealth circumvention is much harder.

Get circumvention at all wrong and you achieve the opposite of what the tool is intended for: you put a big red flag on people breaking their local laws. The risk/reward structure here is totally broken, even before you consider how likely it is that everyone's machines in the country you're trying to "help" are already rootkitted.

Don't build circumvention tools.

Agree. The basic premise is that we're all sort of racists, and therefore we think any other generic-looking person is just like us. I don't see much data to support his conclusion.

Also, is this question the same as why do British singers sound like Americans in their songs? Just asking...
"The bicycle I rode to work today has:"

Well there's your problem. The point isn't to exactly recreate what we have today. The bike as you own it now is like it is because that's the easiest way to manufacture - rather than stamping it out of a block of steel, they take a couple of tubes and weld them together. If it's easier to 3d-print by making the whole thing in plastic, we'll have to engineer materials that allow this and still maintain enough function to be used like today's bike.

Innovation doesn't have to be constrained by today's standards. The Wright brothers didn't have to replicate the flapping wings of a bird, just building something that would fly was ok.

Not as a qualified lawyer she couldn't - even within the UK there are different legal systems that require you to qualify separately. There is a lot more to being a lawyer/solicitor than getting a law degree. (e.g. Here in Scotland it is a further post graduate qualification plus two years training in a law firm before you qualify).
Cases and prepositions both signify into which 'slot' of a verb this object goes. From that perspective, if prepositional objects correspond to keyword args, so do cases.

On the other hand, a case is a form of the noun-phrase which can be constructed without looking at the predicate. I see a similarity to the address operator in C:

foo(bla, &blub)

means that bla is passed in value-case, whereas blub is passed in reference-case.

To be slightly fair (and only slightly because I still think Blu-Ray sucks), Netflix does often get separate rental copies of movies that differ from the store-bought versions. They usually have more extraneous crap in front of the movie, since they are making less money off them in the long run.

But the load times alone make me want to throw my Blu-Ray player out of the window. It's a mind-numbingly slow experience in every way.
Stereotypes: Say more about the speaker than the subject?
It's tempting to envision a world where phones are like PCs, that you'd just pick one out from Fry's and then install any apps you want (after choosing an app store that you liked) and then hooking up to some voice/text/data plan that you liked, and competition makes all the players work hard for your business...

But I think the paradox of choice kicks in, somewhat, in that users really like the iPhone world's somewhat-curated experience, and that you get a base set of well-built apps that are provided by Apple for the basics (phone, texting, web, email) and they form the core of your mobile usage until you start adding in your own apps.

Having said that, I'd love to be able to pick a carrier for my iPhone, but I don't want the fractured environment/ecosystem of Android.
All that support and knowledge is tempting, but I won't be applying. I'm currently in private beta and making very good progress with my product on my own by bootstrapping. It would also be incredibly difficult for me to move to another city and work there full time for a few months when

I have a full time job that pays my bills (which are MORE than what YN would give me as an investment AND I'd be giving up equity for it).

Plus, I have a 2-year old who still nurses (not open for debate, sorry). Basically he'd HAVE to come with me and assuming they'd even allow that, I'd also have to move my childcare with me (my dad) and he'd have to be away from his family too.

Plus, I have no immediate desire to find a co-founder and no plans to exit. All of these things may change and I'm open to that, but that's how it is right now.
'"redneck" is used as a pejorative term.'

Right, because it refers to the guy with a red neck and bright white chest when he takes his shirt off, because he actually is working outdoors properly dressed for such work, not on a beach somewhere getting a leisurely tan. Thus, a red neck indicates working class.

Actual red necks, of course, seem to use it as a term of endearment and solidarity, much as other epithets have been co-opted by their targets.
Deflation is not a possibility. The US government is issuing racord levels of debt and running record deficits. This requires monetary inflation to finance, litarally, this is what produces treasuries.

Sectors of an economy can go up and down becpsed on a variety of factors, but if they go down and businesses have sales to try and drum up more volume, or lower prices to get marketshare, this is not deflation.

Since there are more dollars outstanding today then ever before, and in a couple months time a new record will be made, the value of these dollars will be going down. This is the basic mechanism of inflation.

It will not reverse course unless the government makes a massive change, and that change seems impossible.

"learn to hack"

The top result (cyber-trace.com) is just a list of keywords if you scroll down. Also on the next page of results, learn-to-hack.com is the same thing.

For what it's worth, the reason why I submitted this is that I have the page squidoo.com/hacking which seems to alternate between being on the front page of Google's results for that search and being completely missing from the index, depending on what week it is. That might have to do with Squidoo's sitemap and not just Google, but it's certainly peculiar.
And how do they search for mirrors?

Here's (http://www.bellasugar.com/Jessica-Simpson-Eyelid-Surgery-Pri...) a recent link on how popular double eyelid surgery is in Korea and Japan. I don't have the hard figures but I would guess that this procedure would be much more common in Korea and Japan then in China since these populations are more affluent and were heavily affected by US presence.

As for baseball, most everyone agrees this is a quintessential American game, some authors have even suggested that it reflects the American spirit. To people from other countries it may seem slow and pointless. If you disregard Cuba, which has close ties to US historically, AFAIK the only non-American culture where baseball is very (or even on the average) popular is Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball#Popularity_and_cultura...).

It's really funny how I came across all of the "RSS is dead" stuff in Google Reader.

>There are some techniques to make a "dry" recording "wet," by basically faking the room tone, but they're, well, fake. Tossing in a little reverb and messing with the EQ is never going to give you the same effect as the natural acoustics of a concert space.

I disagree with this. It's certainly true of most "reverb" plugins, but it's possible to measure the frequency response curves of famous concert halls and exactly recreate the effect of sitting there, down to the details of how your head shapes the sound coming from different directions. It just comes down to how accurately you can measure the impulse response function. The physics implies that this is basically perfect, modulo the quality of our recording gear.

To do this, you set up microphones as your "ears" where you want it to sound like the person is sitting, and then go on stage and do one of two things. Either fire a blank from a gun, or play a tone sweep. (The latter is more common these days.) From the recording of the way the sounds bounce around the room, you can generalize all of the linear behavior of the reverberation (which is all you are interested in anyways.)

From this you get a convolution kernel, then just convolve that with your dry signal.

You can actually get something that sounds identical to a binaural recording out of this.
Indeed you can - I've just written a very simple MapReduce framework that sites on top of the SQL database inside Safari on the iPhone. At the moment the JSON documents it uses are stored in a SQL table, but you could convert a more "traditional" table structure into JSON dynamically.
