At the risk of sounding merely contrarian, I can offer a handful of counterexamples that I know personally.

This could be due to the strong emphasis Western culture places on "integrity." This term originally comes from the same Latin root as "integer," which itself means "whole, entire." Having integrity implies that your private self and public self are one and the same.

Multicultural roots of Western culture may have made integrity an important signifier of trustworthiness. Even going back to Shakespeare, you saw the theme of split identities everywhere in Western literature, and most of Shakespeare's villains are noted for their two-facedness.

The modern day implication of that cultural legacy is our cult of authenticity. For a rap singer to be taken seriously by his peers, he has to be "real." The realness is a hard earned credibility by showing a singular identity, and not being perceived as the real thing for someone immersed in that culture would be the equivalent of "losing face" in Eastern cultures. Something akin to social isolation and even death.

Another, perhaps more relatable example, is something I often hear Americans say. It's said that in America you can be who you say you are. That is at the heart of the open society for which Americans are praised, and Americans take your word at face value, until you say or do something contrary to their expectations of your self-proclaimed "role."

So thinking over what I wrote, I think the reason why role-playing works in Japan and doesn't in America is because Americans have a culture of self-invention, a culture built on appearances, they also have a wariness about being taken in by people who change their appearances often.
Quite possibly. At conferences in my (non-"techie") field, the single biggest source of delays is people getting their Macs to talk to the projector.

And that claim was correct.

No, it wasn't. As referenced, there are studies which demonstrate the exact opposite. Sorry, but it's simply a fact that those studies exist. Head in the sand doesn't make them go away.

There is a stark ideological contrast between the Ruby and Python communities with regard to code uniformity. Pythonistas believe there should be only one obvious way to do things. Rubyists, on the other hand, are more accepting of personal style in code, probably having gleaned some of the individualism from Perl culture.

why the lucky stiff was like the BucketHead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead) or Daft Punk of programming. I like that - besides the mysterious persona thing - he also reserved the right to follow any tangent; He's a musician as well and made an album for one of his programming books if i'm not mistaken.

If/when I release my programming mixtape - in which i'll spite hot fire about unit testing and my gripes with MVC - he'll definitely get a spot in the liner notes. haha :)
To add to that... his specialty is intentionally specious and sensationalist arguments that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny, thus inviting rabid rebuttals from people in the know, driving tremendous traffic well beyond what either A) a plainly idiotic argument or B) a extremely well-honed analysis would produce. In other words, he takes trolling to heights 4chan can only dream of.

Even "wall of water" is misleading, as that's not what it is at all. A horizontal wall perhaps, but not a vertical one like in the finale of Abyss.

One way I've used to explain it is to imagine you're on a boat at sea and a tsunami passes under you. You wouldn't even notice.

The boat would slowly rise a few feet and stay there for a few minutes as this huge mass of water passed under it, then slowly drop back down to its original height, and no one would be the wiser.

It's not until the mass of water hits the shore and keeps piling on for several minutes, that people can see what it is.
Thanks. I am worried about noise, and this is definitely sound advice. I know I need to maintain focus, especially over the next few weeks, so I'll definitely do what you suggest.
I was conflicted because at my last internship, my ignorance in certain areas was sometimes of great benefit. By not having any built-in biases or frames of reference I could ask simple questions and come up with simple solutions that were overlooked because nobody had ever thought to ask.

Thanks again.
I find AVL trees simpler as well, and probably a good deal more performant.

The nice thing about skip lists, beyond being mostly simple, is that min() is O(1), which is far more useful than the middling value at the root of AVL trees.

That you can finger-append in O(u) is misleading, since ideally u≃log n and finger operations are amortized O(1) in AVL trees (I know it's been shown empirically, not sure if analytically).

I like it too. You took a small problem and offered a solution to it. It won't change the world, but it will probably change someone's day.

You will eventually be able to determine that someone is doing well or poor in their classes. Why not use this to recommend tutors or tutoring jobs?

BTW, Your honesty and courage to face rejection inspires me. Thanks.
When will the US start with alternatives then? Never? How about some energy saving???
Having the wiki paradigm in mind, it didn't occur to me that one -would- use their preferred text-editor, but that's maybe a big benefit right there. What if it were a desktop app running in the background that monitors these text files and is smart enough to handle all git operations behind the scenes? And what -is- it about long form writing that is just inconvenient on the internet? haha

The decay heat is about 5% of full reactor power at shutdown, but decreases exponentially thereafter, to about 1% at 4 hours, etc. Daiichi units 1 & 3 are about 1.4 and 2.4 MW(th) respectively.
Terrific lecture. A bit leisurely for the first hour, probably could've cover that in half the time, but then progressively realizes he's short on time and accelerates through the probabilistic analysis of the runtime. Still pretty easy to follow at warp speed near the end, because he is extremely clear. For instance, you can tell when he makes a simple 1/x mistake in a couple places (he catches himself), since his explanation which goes along with the calculation is crystal clear. Nice job.

If you think there's a uTorrent 0day being used, use a much smaller client. uTorrent may be dangerous because anyone looking to compromise the most people possible would use it as a vector, but even transmission should be fine.

At any rate, I'm perfectly happy to trust what anon is putting out, having spent significant amounts of time hanging out in IRC and chatting with those involved. I haven't seen anything that makes me suspicious, and I'm not the most trusting type when it comes to random people on the internet.

edit: My comment makes no sense now, but it was originally in regards to concern expressed that Anon's releases could contain malware.
40 years in the case of unit 1, and scheduled to be decommissioned in 2011 anyway.
That's interesting. Do you mean to allow tutors to track the success of their students?

And thanks so much.
>I just don't find it credible that after making people wait for these, the leaker couldn't take the time to rewrite the explanations for who he/she is and why he/she is leaking these documents and resorts to screenshots of 4chan posts.

What? A) there was a fairly lengthy record of why this person was doing what they were doing, and B) that's a mail client, not 4chan.

I think opinions may differ regarding whether or not that's criminal activity.

See argument here: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/g3hgw/bank_of_amer...

The guy who leaked this information is a former employee of BofA. Since his firing BofA has ruined his life/credit/relationships and he will probably be in court for the rest of his life.

Bank of America made a lot of errors with their loan adjustments due to not updating and/or staying on top of things and subsequently forclosed a lot of homes that should not have been forclosed on. So the emails you see at the bottom of the page are BofA execs asking for the removal of certain DTN records from their Databases (from what i understand DTN's are like information records). The reason they are doing that is because they are being audited, and when the auditors look up the loans that should be tied to those DTN's and find that there is no existing DTN record, they will discount it as a system error and move on.
The result of this "deleting of DTN's" was some $60B worth of fraud on the part of Bank Of America in order to cover up the mistakes they made during the housing crisis.

These emails are just the first ones released, but they are clearly TO and FROM BofA execs, asking for the deletion of DTN's from the system and even a response from one exec saying, "Are you sure we can do this"??
At the very least this might turn up a stone that was overlooked.

Think like a detective. Instead of looking for further evidence, maybe all we have to do is wait for any involved parties to make a mistake, and flub up their story, evidence trail, you name it. When the spot light
is on look for who is moving towards the shadows.

Then the shit really can hit the fan.

I've yet to do a lot with Git, but your post has made me a lot more interested. After wikipediaing the features, I'm starting to see how one could save a lot of time by building an app on top of Git rather than recreate all this functionality from scratch.
I can confirm that this is true: the iPhone 5 will not have NFC built in. It's very good news for our startup, even though we'll use it on other platforms as soon as we can.
If your system is registering a C average for a student in Calculus perhaps your system can recommend a tutor. This is where referrals and sponsorships come in ($). Or perhaps someone in that same class. There's a social networking aspects right there. There's tons of interesting things you could do!

I'm curious if anyone else thinks that charging for this may not be the best approach. Anyone?

As I understand it, spreading out the waste leads to more material being contaminated. Surrounding concrete, pipes, cranes beams etc... Most equipment used ends up contaminated.
I know an engineer who cleans these places up, and its mad, bad and very very expensive. Massive amounts of planning for simple jobs. Plotting safe routs, zones, dose rates etc. Maximum containment makes the job way way easier.

College students may be the only demographic to consume more ramen noodles than bootstrapping start-up founders (willing to be proven wrong!).

They'll expect this to be free and most likely won't pay unless they see incredible added value. I really like the tutoring angle though - targeted tutoring referrals seems like a great way to monetize something like this.
Thinkcomp: I am happy for you, then, and wish you the best, f course. However, I must agree with Oliver and echo his sentiments precisely. NFC should be here now. And if there's any company to bring NFC to mass adoption, it is Apple.
That's a pretty good idea, but I need a good user base before I can experiment with that, I think.

Traditional freemium may indeed not work for this. I've seen examples of freemium working for b2b services but charging customers, especially students, may really not work out. This is one of the things I've wanted to find out for a while now.

Populism based jurisprudence will sink to the level of rigor demanded by the populace: not much. It will also be subject to fashionable morality. That is, the courts will tend to favor the party that is more aligned with the ideological winds regardless of the facts of the individual case.

This is devastating to the economy, as contract law relies on consistency. If parties can't expect predictable/neutral arbitration this greatly raises the costs/risks of investment.

This is devastating to personal justice, as minorities (ideologically, culturally, ethnically, etc.) face an uphill battle instead of neutral arbitration.
Exactly. If all the author wanted was an affordable notebook to replace his >5 year old PowerBook, then he could've bought a $1,200 MacBook Pro [0], which has FireWire800 and Thunderbolt ports. The low-end MacBook Pro is far more capable than his old PowerBook, and it wouldn't cost him anywhere near $3,000.

Regardless of which OS you'll choose to run on it, I doubt a Dell Mini 9 netbook will be a reliable mobile workstation. The author indicated that his income is dependent on him having a functional notebook. One would think he would reserve at least $300 a year for hardware.

I'm left wondering whether the Dell Mini 9 will serve him for the next 2.5 years. If not, then a MacBook Pro would've been cheaper.

Thanks for the well wishes. NFC isn't really any more convenient than what we're offering via barcodes though. The way in which the device is scanned doesn't matter as much as the software on the device and what you can do with it.

A musician and, more importantly, a computer geek tells his story of switching from Mac to Ubuntu

His story, while informative, is nowhere near close to that of a typical musician or even audio geek. It's not the platform but the software running on it that counts. The first thing Apple did when they bought Emagic and, as a result, Logic Pro was to kill the product on Windows knowing well users would switch to OS X just to use their favourite tool (why wouldn't they given the $1200->$499 price drop and a major feature boost in Logic Studio).

Most musicians nowadays want more than the ability to record and play back audio tracks. What about the digital audio workstation (DAW) choice on Linux; the virtual instruments and FX plugins; MIDI editing and automation; a UI intuitive and simple enough to use at a live show etc. Good software in the creative market seems to take years to build but the user base is so loyal it takes massive effort to get users to switch. There is a reason most software used in the studio is decades old (see Cubase or Logic, for instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_Pro#History). There is also a reason why GarageBand had significant time dedicated to it at the iPad keynote. Musicians with computers tend to be geeks to a degree, but at the end of the day they have music to compose and perform, and the less time they have to spend on software and setting it up the better.

Basically, Linux not being embraced among the musicians is the same story of why you don't see very many people jump ship from Adobe Photoshop in favour of GIMP.
Keep in mind these are from Anon, not WikiLeaks. The big dump that WL is preparing is yet to come. This is just a single ex-BoA employee releasing emails that they had bcc'd themselves because they were concerned about the illegality of what was being asked. This is only part 1 of the release, and the ex-employee also said they had much more, but had to keep some for "insurance".

My understanding is that this is a fairly pedestrian example of just one incident of fraud (cooking the books so as to remove records of foreclosures), with more to come.
I'd be willing to bet there's ill gotten gains involved somewhere on that guy. He's only 35 and was previously involved in Ukranian oil & gas. There's a lot of shadowy players in that market.
There is mountains of evidence of serious criminal activity on the public record without any need to resort to leaks. The problem is not lack of evidence. The problem is lack of prosecutorial action by the state.

Medicine and Cloud Computing 
www.openbiobank.com/hackingmedicine.html

It seems from my attendance at the last lab automation conference there was a number of new "kids" on the block tooting cloud computing. The question I was curios to know is: what are you doing about protecting intellectual property for your customers in the cloud?
Also it seems that the cloud has not yet evolved to the point to not be a single point of failure. What are the cloud computing providers doing to protect patient information such that it can't be hacked or shut down from a major terrorist attack?
There were a couple of speakers post Oracle and IBM'ers that claimed they have been doing Cloud computing for over 10-15 years. Hmm it is relatively a new advent I felt. May be they really meant we've been doing hosting and application service providing through our server technologies and software services for over 10 years and have been trying to build up a cloud computing model???
But were waiting for virtualization perhaps?<p>Not sure but it did make me turn up a brow.<p>All these questions asked were evaded but am sure in due time they will be addressed as us thought leaders keep pressing for answers and customers become less naive.<p>-Petar
I disagree with -you-, sometimes even coders can buy into hype. If you play up someone's ego and idolize them, they'll just continue to do things like not document their code or - as wulzcer put it [save an extra two lines but cost the next person two hours of debugging]. Never thought I'd be the guy talking like this, but rockstar attitude does little positive for the team.

Kinda funny that Yelp's on this list; I see their office everyday as the elevator passes by on the way to mine, -and- they've one of the worst apis ever. haha
