The image cannot be the result of seam-carving because SC does not result in duplicated patches of the region. Moreover, the patching up (as others mentioned, to remove the scores) results in both non-zero offset both horizontally and vertically, which will not happen if you run SC (you'd expect either horizontal or vertical movements).

The kernel design it uses (while having some advantages) is unfortunately slow at many tasks, which is detrimental to server performance. After years of tuning they've got it working well enough for the local user I suppose.

Not sure if it will ever be able to perform as quickly as a monolithic kernel such as linux.

Microsoft closed up ~60% on the first day. At the peak on the first day is was up more than that (~80% IIRC).

Microsoft did no different to LinkedIn, Gates actually wanted to price the stock lower to assure that a liquid market would be created. They re-priced the listing late in the process, just like LinkedIn did.

Most of the Microsoft negotiation with Goldman was about commission charges.

This was all the same thing, both hot stocks who could dictate a lot of their own terms. The only difference is that we got a good insight into the Microsoft process via that Fortune article and the only insight we got into LinkedIn were press releases (most announcing another tilt up in the price)

See my last comment about how list pricing works and why nobody got 'ripped off':

There is probably a huge amount of truth to this. Apple puts enough effort into stopping jail breaking that they can easily claim their movie blocking is done through those efforts.
> our lack of knowledge about the circumstances can lead us to commit the fundamental attribution error. Are they "stupid" or are there circumstances of which we're unaware?

Such circumstances also depend on the timeframe of the people involved. One person might have a 30-day perspective, another person is thinking about the grandchildren.

The HISB-square looks a lot like the Win-win(intelligent), Win-lose(bandit), Lose-win(helpless), and Lose-lose(stupid) grid of negotiation theory. The time when Win-lose is a valid strategy is when there's no ongoing relationship between the two parties, e.g. bargaining for goods in a no-refunds market. The whole idea of commodity/stock/etc exchanges is built around this concept. When some bandit pulls a Win-lose when there's an ongoing relationship, it's easy for the helpless loser to turn a Win-lose into a Lose-lose situation. It might look like revenge, but it could be to establish a track record for their next negotiation.

Besides timeframe, such circumstances depend on information available. There's many bandits around who hide their true identity, and pose as intelligent for appearances sake, but are pulling some nasty banditry behind the scenes. I'd suggest a counter-rule to rule 1:

Always and inevitably everyone overestimates
the number of intelligent individuals in circulation.

The intelligent-posing bandits in that situation call the helpless losers who swung a win-lose into a lose-lose "stupid". After many such incidents, the helpless tend to always assume they're dealing with a bandit, even though the other person may be intelligent. These are school playground lessons.

So I'd propose a second corrolary to the fifth rule's first corrolary (i.e A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit):

Stupid people become stupid because bandits pose as intelligent.
That does not sound like an easy process to me.
It should be worth noting here that the accused have every bit the opportunity to deny the claims. If a woman—any woman—were to absolutely falsely accuse some guy of having raped her in a very public manner (with or without having gone to the police beforehand), by what logic would the guy, who knows he didn’t rape her, not deny the accusations? He could deny them in equally public fashion and/or go to the police himself.

The thing is: women know that making such an accusation in public will get them harassed for it, whether it's true or not. But it's really only worth the immense vitriol that they will have to endure when their accusations are true.

Additionally, women also don't have some kind of weird "inherent motive" to do this to men, but countless of reasons not to.

Stepping to the police is always the right first move. Publicly outing rapists is a brave (as it is dangerous) additional step to take which, among other good things, will alert other women about the rapist.

Anyone who argues that it is unfair should shut the hell up and first think about how fair it was to the woman that she got raped in the first place. Hint: she didn't deserve what happened to her. The guy who did the raping? Totally does.
That might be a slightly amusing syntactical overlay on Common Lisp. Hash-tables are a bit manky to deal with directly IMO; setting up a reader macro in JSON-esque syntax might be quite usable.
No.

edit: Your printed technical book was essentially worthless the moment you bought it, given how fast most software evolves these days. But, I'm guessing you mean: 'will this make my book so outdated as to be worthless in terms of learning.'

The answer is still no. All of the major new features are, essentially, optional, with the exception of jQuery, but hopefully you were already using that anyway.

The Asset Pipeline, SCSS and CoffeeScript are major new features, but you'd likely need to read up on SCSS and CoffeeScript separately anyway. The Asset Pipeline can probably be understood with a couple good blog posts.

HTTP streaming: same thing. Also, it's—again—an optional feature.
This is clearly photoshopped. No algorithm would do this.

As to general snarkiness about openness of Android: please come back when you can download source code to iOS or WP7 or BlackBerry, compile it and then install on your device.

While I agree the snarkiness doesn't help his point and in fact has no bearing on the argument at all, to say Google is OK to not release the source for their self-proclaimed, open system because other vendors have not released the source for their self-proclaimed, extremely closed systems is ludicrous.
This is correct. My family has several generations of professional event/wedding photographers.

The money was made in the ordering of specific photograph prints from the photography company, things like albums and wallet prints.

However, that business model is all but destroyed. It is much simpler and more profitable to give the reproduction rights to the client and burn everything to a couple of DVDs or copy to a USB stick.
Actually, it is embarrassing for the entire industry, as we all make it what it is. Our industry is nothing if not the sum of our individual actions and contributions to society, just like how your individual actions over the course of your lifetime define who you are as a person and how other people perceive you.

If you commit a crime at age 20, it will still have been a crime ten years later when you are 30. You may have served your time and earned “society's forgiveness” so to speak, however, and thus redeemed yourself.

Our industry will need to redeem itself. But right now, the rotten apples in our industry? They represent that one moment when you were 20 and committed a crime.
Thanks for the source - I had a vague idea of the numbers. I am now trying to find the first week and month performance, because IIRC it went very very well.

LinkedIn and Microsoft both listed with similar revenue numbers (adjusted for inflation, $266M for MSFT vs $240M for LinkedIn) except LinkedIn are growing a lot faster, and Microsoft had a 35% net margin with no long term debt (almost all self funded) vs $105M raised by LinkedIn and still in growth/development stage. Very different market caps at list time, but the market fixed that for MSFT over the years afterwards
It's certainly beginning to look like a Bubble.

A few things -

1) Everyone is assuming that revenue will explode, and more importantly, profits will really, really explode.

2) Everyone is discounting intent. A social network for networking is very different from a site you go to to find jobs.

The assumption that LinkedIn is going to destroy sites dedicated to job hunting is just that - an assumption.

There is a higher chance that people will not change their intent from social networking to jobs - than there is that people will.

3) Everyone is discounting competitors.

NEW

The biggest warning flag to me is the assumption that all these tech companies are just waiting to hit some magical figure (say 250 million users) and then they will turn on the magic tap of unlimited profits.

A company that makes a lot of profit from the get go is very different from a company that stumbles into a huge source of profit and those are both very different from a company that optimizes for customers of bad intent and thus never reaches high profitability.

LinkedIn is worth $9 billion because Wall Street needs a way to get everyone's savings into their bonuses. The party will last for a couple of years. LinkedIn, Yelp, Groupon, Facebook, Zynga, etc. and every day people will be milked.

The same strategy - release a small amount of shares and drive up prices - appeal to people's greed to make a quick buck.

Then 90% of these companies will go down from 10 billion and $50 billion valuations to $1 billion and $5 billion valuations.

From the article, "the time stamp reflects the time that your device established a connection to the [billing system], not the time that you sent or received data." Note the "your device".
> Not sure if that's the case. The company makes the most money from online ads, so is it better to foster long-term technology growth or to convince more people to use Android?

Getting more Android devices into the hands of users now is important to Google: it increases developer appeal (growing the platform), which draws even more users (increasing advertising revenue). Having competitive, consumer-orientated features like this—that stack up against Apple (and Amazon)—are far more important to these goals than things like whether a device is rootable, themeable and/or side-loadable.

Also from the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_for_hire#Law_of_the_United...)...

Where start-up technology companies are concerned, some courts have considered that the traditional factors for finding that an author is an "employee" can be less important than in more-established companies, for example if the employee works remotely and is not directly supervised, or if the employee is paid entirely in equity without benefits or tax withholding

Your #[3] could be argued that as a celebrity persona, the public image of "Mike Tyson" is a created work, and the addition of the tattoo is supplementary to his creative work - his celebrity persona. But, as you stated, it would still require a signed work for hire document.
Yeah, I've seen that too. I really don't know what causes it, but I'm definitely going to investigate for the next release.

I'll agree with aaronbrethorst here: your books are going to out-dated regardless; it's the major downside to software hardcopy these days, especially web-focussed stuff.

Saying that, Rails 3.0 to 3.1 isn't like 2.x to 3.0 (where your books WOULD have been useless). A lot of the changes are evolutionary, and there's nothing stopping you from learning on the latest 3.0.x branch with your book before tackling the (fairly straightforward) 3.0 to 3.1 upgrade process, once you've got your Rails knowledge bedded down.

The theory, often claimed, is that "X" is a man's world.

As I am sure you understand, all it takes is one data point to falsify a theory. I have provided dozens of well known women that have made enormous progress for computing. It took me about 30 seconds.

So for "X" equal computing, the theory fails, it is busted, it should be an ex-myth, pining for the fjords.

In fact, from its very beginning, by which I mean its VERY BEGINNING, women have played terribly important and substantial roles in computing. How is it you are unaware of this? It really is common knowledge.

Showing that there are lots of well known men will do nothing to prop the theory up.

I suggest you might have a more enlightening experience asking yourself why the busted myth persists.

I think his point is that Google has released their source. As he pointed out, Google Movies is an application and it doesn't have to be open-source just because the Android OS is open-source. It's a completely independent piece of code.

Anyway, this is much ado about nothing since I'm sure there will be a patched version out almost immediately.
You're confused about what the "work" is here. Tyson paid to have a tattoo put onto his face. He owns that tattoo (i.e., the ink and, of course, the skin). Paying to have that tattoo placed on him does not mean he owns the design. You might be able to dig up some evidence that Tyson paid to have the tattoo specially designed for him, in which case, it would need to meet the following test:

A "work made for hire" is— (1) a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment; or (2) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire. (17 U.S.C. § 101)

That last part about an express agreement pretty much sinks the possibility that it's a work for hire, unless you know of such an agreement in this case.

NOTE: IAAL, but not your lawyer, and this is not legal advice.
I don't see "our technology" becoming "increasingly hobbled" just because there's one Android app out there that doesn't want to cooperate with a rooted phone.

Here's something that I have been curious about - the biggest perceived disadvantage of git is that it is not written in a single language - this leads to the problem that it is more difficult to set up on Windows than mercurial.

Isn't this a problem that is easily solved ? I mean Github is a pretty large company built on top of git. I know that Github is sponsoring work on libgit2, but JGit is pretty good as well (and so is the pure python implementation - Dulwich).

Would it cost too much for Github to sponsor a bounty to make a pure python/ruby/java based implementation and keep it in sync with Junio's git ?

Though it is not the intention, I'm pretty sure if you had a 100% Github-supported Dulwich git... it would be very hard for mercurial to stand up as an alternative. Which is why it is hard for me to understand why isn't such an obvious business lead being taken advantage of. I genuinely want to understand whether it is a very hard technical problem - which will make me respect Linus even more.
