Same way I'd respond if I was the CEO of Johnson and Johnson and used BandAid when I should have said self-adhesive bandage (or plaster[1]): We own the mark and use the mark so frequently to describe our product that it was a reasonable slip when discussing entities that certainly are similar to the thing our mark describes.

[1] Completely unrelated: My first trip to England, I had to buy some Doc Martins from THE Doc Martin store (bucket list kind of thing :). So I'm walking around a lot in them as I schlep around the Midlands and Yorkshire for various meetings and some site seeing, and I've managed to generate some very uncomfortable blisters. I need a BandAid...err...self-adhesive bandage.

It's off to the hotel desk in Leeds, "Do you have any BandAids?"

"Any what?"

"BandAids", I'm now catching on that maybe J&J isn't big here as I see his confused look. I decide to go generic, "Self-adhesive bandages?"

The confused look remains. At some point he gets a really pathetic first aid kit without any BandAids in it. I'm now wondering if the UK's medical system was to blame for a country not having self-adhesive bandages. I quickly drop the probability on that to very low, but don't fully eliminate it.

I decide it's time to leave the hotel and go where I'm sure I'll find one. "Can you tell me where a drug store is nearby?"

Doh. I eventually get pointed to the Chemist.

I get there and finally find my BandAids: Plasters? Really? I guess it goes with bendy-busses and the like.

Now one more thing. The feet are hurting and some Tylenol would help. Of course there is no Tylenol. I start reading the ingredients, I know acetaminophen must be in one of these.

And, of course not. Why didn't I know it was called paracetamol?

Needless to say, my US centric view of the world was shattered over the course of those 45 minutes.

...and by the time I finished this story, nobody would care that I used BandAid once to describe a self-adhesive bandage.
Lockpicking is not a crime. So why do we think it is?
I got one from a sweepstake thing last month. I use for like an hour after I wake up every dat. Its wonderful and amazing but sooner or later you will realize you need Windows.
When I worked on crowd-based duration stuff at the Cheezburger Network, we noticed that long-form content (video, even 5-panel comics) were much harder to crowd-curate than single pictures. I am sure that even short Sci-Fi stories have the same problem.
These are the wishes of the studios, Google can do little about it.
It's interesting that Steve was using the 99 designs format before 99 designs was even an idea.
The photographer of publisher would need to blur the tattoo in the image, as they would with an unauthorized image of someone's face (in some cases in the US) or genetalia (in Japan).
Ask HN: Micropayment payment processor outside US, GB, AU,EU?
I've a small project that needs to charge $0.99, and PayPal doesn't cut it because they only open micropayments merchant account for people in United States.

Does anyone know a micropayment solutions for people outside United States?
My rule of thumb: only buy tech books that primarily contain good practices by experienced devs. Good practices tend to survive longer than APIs, and provide long-term value.
The phrase "it turns out" has gone viral. Unfortunately somebody else got the domain before me.
I'd rather not "imagine" anything or speculate what a "sane judge" would think. What criminal law is being broken, given what we know? If you think it's obvious consider that sexual harassment in the workplace is usually considered a civil, not a criminal matter (though, in some circumstances it can be criminal).

As for the evidence, we don't really know what evidence exists in this particular case, but it seems premature to assume an e-mail trail or testimony other than the "he said/she said" variety.
There is no need to change it to use jQuery, it's not enforced. If you specifically want to switch over, you can only expect rails helpers to work out of the box.

You're going to have to send them as a sequence of bytes somehow. MessagePack converts your data structures into a straightforward binary format, or lets you roll your own custom serializers easily (I've used it, and it's good stuff), and JSON does something similar in a less compact but more human-readable form. If your data structures are very simple, you could roll your own, e.g. send an array of ints by just converting them to network byte order and sending them.

Once you've got your data expressed as a sequence of bytes, you can send that with ZeroMQ. Or with HTTP, or raw sockets, or whatever. The serialization format and the transport protocol are pretty much completely independent.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have root access to your phone, can't you work around this block?
so google docs is the google wave of file storage?

What is the "save later" interface like in Readability? I'd welcome the ability to annotate in Instapaper and better sort saved articles (perhaps with a tagging or folder system). Would your recommend I switch to Readability?
That assumes that across all jobs and professions that there is some uniform distribution of the sexes. But I don't believe that to be the case.

The sexes do divide themselves differently depending on profession and there are many reasons for that: some are just natural nature gender divides, some are socially constructed nurture gender divides, and some are discrimination.

It's not clear that any problem of women in technology actually exists, and it's not clear that if it exists it is a result of discrimination.
Rafaela capitulo 81 - seterah anda
The one thing I don't like is the icon!
Every single rejection from a girl in high school or a woman after that is a chance to mature. In fact, it's a nearly-spoon-fed opportunity to mature.

Anyone that doesn’t mature at least somewhat from such scenarios is actively choosing not to. Maybe not consciously, but they are making the decision to resent and blame, rather than regret and find out why they got rejected.
http://cyberduck.ch/ allows access to google docs via it's FTP client, pretty sweet.

I still prefer dropbox though but I use encrypted disk images for documents.
A book by Scott Adams, it is also available as an audiobook, which is supposed to be more conducive to its consumption: http://www.dilbert.com/blog/entry/hypnotized_by_an_audio_boo...
Here's an absolute for you: your nickname should read “anonymous dick” — you're trolling with a newly created account. How about you stop hiding, stop trolling, and start growing up?
Looks like a cool project, but it would be nice if the docs were a little more complete or there was a try it out feature like on http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/
My comments express my opinions, so why wouldn't that make everyone aware of my feelings toward the entities I discuss?

I was in no way trying to 'trick' anyone. I was expressing a personal observation.

Were you unable to comprehend my opinion of legal enforcement strategies with regard to specific IP content types because of the acronyms I used?

I have always assumed readers of HN are able to form their own opinions, including whether or not the collective behaviors of the MPAA and RIAA resemble that of organized crime, particularly with regard to extortion.
It seems to me that complaining about the phrase "it turns out" is what's really gone viral.
You're making assumptions again I think. She didn't say there were 3 different conferences and 3 different men. Merely, that something "similar" has happened 3 times in the last year. Technically, it could all involve the same conference and same person. And it might not have even been a tech conference or industry related at all, who knows. Maybe, but not specified.

Assumptions are what put innocent people on death row. And what drive people to break out the pitchforks and torches. They're not a mark of modern civilization. I hope. :)
If Tyson has multiple tattoos, couldn't this be seen as a contribution to a collective work?
For everyone that is so happy to pay $5 for this app, how about you leave a review on the app store. I saw this app before reading this article and was suspicious about paying $5 when there were 0 reviews... I think your praise would be better served on the app store? :)
I am not attempting to persuade you. You are free to form your own opinions.

I do not need any favors like that.
Right, but this is my point. The Hangover also 'republished' the tattoo artwork -- only they did so by filming Tyson instead of that other guy. So, IANL, but it would seem if you're going to sue over The Hangover 2, you would also have to sue for the original movie, and every magazine that has published Tyson's face since he got the tattoo.

The absurdities this lawsuit opens are never ending... :)
That's a real hacker's work! :)

Though I recommend to read the nice post, here is the direct link to the code: http://git.zx2c4.com/BruteZip/tree/read.c
I think in the context of the video clip they are more referring to product/market fit. Many startups fail because they either don't recognize the real problem, they build the wrong product to address a problem, or they burn through their cash before they find the point where their solution intersects with the market problem. I believe this is also why domain experience is important to one or more startup founders; the company can build a solution to an understood problem rather than a solution looking for a problem.

And don't blame me for the headline; I just took it from Venturebeat :-)

So, Zed, how long until you build a fossil on top of hg?
I just upgraded an app from 3.0.7 to 3.1.0 rc1

I use Devise and Mongo Mapper. The Mongo Mapper for Devise gem depends on Devise 1.1.x, and this causes a bunch of deprecation warnings, but it works. I don't know if the latest Devise has this fixed, as I can't run it due to the Mongo Mapper for Devise dependency.

Some hand editing of development.rb to remove the debug_rjs setting and some editing to change my use of stylesheet_tag and my app ran ok

I'm not using the cool new asset pipeline yet, but my app runs with 1 hour of work.
That's true, but we shouldn't forget that dropbox reached the point where it is today by a remarkable marketing execution, not only a good product.
Cost includes time spent setting it up and maintaining it, which includes time spent cleaning up the mess when an upgrade breaks something. Upgrades shouldn't break anything, but sometimes they do. Also, he'd retain the primary responsibility for making backups, which he explicitly mentions as something he likes not having to do any more.
JSON is good for edge labeled trees. XML is good for node labeled trees. But the data structures we want to transport are most often edge labeled graphs. You usually end up having to invent a mechanism for canonical node references to turn the tree into a possibly cyclic graph and vice versa. ISTM to improve on JSON, focus should be here.

The "Drug Store" part cracked me up. Thank you.
If the GDrive were similar to Dropbox, a copy of all files would be stored locally and be accessible without an Internet connection.

Google Docs offline access isn't even going to relaunch till later this year, so right now, storing files exclusively in Docs is a non-starter without an always-on Internet connection.
I love the basis of this article, and I adore the internet. I'm about 35 and spent half of my life with no internet.

Guitar magazines taught me that Harmonic Minor scales sounded exotic and dark.

People I knew in person helped me get jobs, like teachers.

I met people in classes, parties and through other friends.

And, I published my work in my journal, zines and the school newspaper.

He's right, the internet is fantastic and improved all of these activities - mostly. Life back then wasn't all bad, to be sure. I love the amazing ability to connect to people on the internet, and the vast amount of information at our fingertips. However, I do somewhat miss the slower pace of life 20 years ago.

How to Step Things Up in Math Teaching
I think we have to distinguish between a term being ubiquitous and generic. I know it's fairly common for someone in the US to refer to a tissue as a Kleenex but that doesn't mean other tissue brands can market their goods under that same title.

> Are you trying to say that because I'm skeptical others might not tell me about these abuses?

It wasn't me making the argument, but yes, this is definitely applicable. Women have very finely-tuned senses when it comes to reading men (because they are conditioned by our male-dominated society to do this, just to survive), so if you're admitting to being skeptical about these matters it is almost guaranteed that the women in your direct vicinity will not consider you trustworthy enough to discuss these most vulnerable and difficult things with.

The reverse is also true: the more open-minded and understanding you show yourself to be, the more people will feel comfortable opening up to you about real things.

You've indicated you live in Romania. While I'm from western Europe myself (Netherlands), I'm fairly confident that everything I just wrote applies just as much here in the US, back home in the Netherlands, and there where you are, Romania.

The fact that "you won't see something like [labor law posters mandating courses about sexual harassment]" in Romania probably indicates that this problem is actually far worse in Romania than you think. That, or it is far lower, but I doubt that given your "there was some groping in high-school" comment.
Yes, I didn't see footage of the scene because I've never lived in the US, certainly not in the 70s.

And you miss my point. A character being made fun of for being misogynist it not itself misogynist. But taking that misogynist phrase, using it in a different context --- now it depends on your readers. Will they all get the reference?

Maybe that blog's regular readers all get the reference. But then someone posted it to HN and kept the same title. HN's readership has a substantial (perhaps majority) share of its readers based outside the US, and I expect the majority of its readers weren't capable of watching SNL in the 70s. I'd guess that a majority of HN's readers wouldn't get the reference, so posting it here crosses the line into casual misogynism.

I am really ashamed that I once thought that this asset seizure thing was a good idea.

Surly, I thought, only bad people like drug dealers would have their mansions confiscated. Shame on me.
Oddly enough, Steele pretty much already did this as a readtable example in his classic manual (based on xappings and xets from Connection Machine Lisp): http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node192.html#X...
I'm in agreement that life was life, and it wasn't so bad. You're right.

Some of the specifics, though, of my case, would be impossible without the internet. I'm sure I'd have a job. But remotely writing textbooks for a Korean company probably wouldn't have happened. (How could it have! How would we have even found each other!) I would have never developed my friendship with my bff Anissa. A lot of the most important things in my life would not have been possible before the internet.

BUT - that's probably not true of everyone. I may be a weird case.
That's the problem. All commission details are negotiated before hand. Bankers even have the right to issue some more stock after the listing if they find the listing to be profitable.
Your base assumption is false.

You think that a single case, or a handful of cases, can disprove the claim because you think the claim is of the type "for all {men, women, industries}" and therefore you think that one, single point can disprove the claim.

Actually, the claim -- as with most human problems -- is of a probabilistic nature and subject to statistical reasoning.

That you think your insistence of the application of binary logic to interpersonal relationships is an enlightened approach is astonishing, and makes me wonder whether or not you're a psychopath.

It seems premature until you read the comments in her thread, wherein Tammy points out that she has received “an alarming number of emails” from other women who experienced the same or similar things.

And while I'm neither a lawyer nor that intimately familiar with US or California laws in particular, I'm fairly certain that this falls under extortion laws, as it is a form of oppressive exaction.
> You appear to have an attitude problem, Jesse. Not sure why.

Because you have a combination of two bad habits: being intellectual cheap/lazy and boldly proclaiming stark, binding conclusions based on that lazy reasoning.

I seriously wonder if you have Asperger Syndrome, or are a psychopath, to be this obtuse and seemingly incapable of understanding how a people think and feel.
For an industry founded on the bedrock principle that the efficient allocation of capital is king, IPO mechanics strike me as inefficient: Money on the table, expensive fixers, etc. Auctions seem like a superficially more efficient mechanism for pricing an IPO and distributing shares. How about this:

Solicit bids for shares. After bidding, sell all shares to the bidders for the highest price at which all shares are sold.

(I suspect that this would also work well for concert tickets.)
Oh please. The overwhelming urge to label everything a movement is ridiculous. The internet is allowing intelligent young people to start building value without the years of network building. Of course some of them will be standouts.

I would suggest that the lack of a Netflix app on WebOS would corroborate this. You only have to enter a short key combination to unlock the phone (put it into dev mode).
Here's what I believe is going on:

Honeycomb adds a framework to support DRM plugins. Android 3.1 adds an actual implementation of a DRM plugin called Widevine (acquired by Google in Dec. 2010). Android 3.1 also supports HDCP. The DRM plugin is technically not built into Android; it's a modular add-on. The interface to the DRM plugins is part of Android.

In order for DRM and HDCP to actually work the DRM system has to validate that the system can be trusted. (That's all that DRM does.) If the system is rooted, apparently the DRM system can not validly claim that the system can be trusted.

Google's YouTube Movie Rental service that's part of the Android Market on Android 3.1 apparently relies on the DRM system to validate that the system can be trusted. (This condition may have been part of the deal to get the movie studios to allow their content to be distributed and rented through the Android Market.) If the DRM framework reports that the system can not be trusted because the system has been rooted then the jig's up -- no movies.

Bottom line: you can't have a movie rental service that requires that the system be trustworthy and a possibly untrustworthy system that would result from the system being rooted. You can have one or the other -- not both.
Freenet's biggest problem is that it's ON the internet, not independent.

The nice things about phantom are its compatibility with applications we use and the distributed design which can make it much harder to cut it off. It was designed for this.

Good job Jesse! We will be contacting you shortly.
Yes the MPAA doesn't distribute the licenses, but no that doesn't mean they have nothing to do with it.

They influence under what conditions content can be played on a device. Consider the case of CableCARD, where a device manufacturer has to have their hardware and OS certified before they will be allowed to make a device and distribute drivers for it.

A consortium of cable providers enforces that requirement, but ultimately, content producers are the ones demanding these restrictions (like the various copy restriction flags).
* fucking use JSON

* if needed: use snappy for blob storage (ie for key value stores)

* if you have an need for very high perfomance in your application that is mature to some degree, evaluate some binary protocols or compression and see how they perform.

the bad thing is that i already see full stack frameworks popping up "now with <binary-protocol-xy>" and everybody will scream "YEAH!". Most YEAH!-sayers will seriously be butt-hurt by the plain fact that it isn't human readable. Switching between JSON/binary won't matter, there will be situations that are not debugable.

Trivial performance optimizations won't fix a broken design.
There are very fundamental differences, but this stuff is interesting for very different things, sot thanks for sharing the link! :)
Ah, the G8 and G20, only getting things done that benefit everyone at the top. These meetings are meetings for collusion, none of the leaders represent the actual values of voters.
Most people find formats like JSON and YAML much easier to read than XML.
I'm sure he knows how to find that. Checking how the resolution feels like for him is probably what he meant.
Knuth was the author of TeX and Metafont, and I'd be hesitant to suppose him to be unable to implement anything.

Not just being snarky here. I think even theorists have an implementor somewhere underneath.
I don't doubt that they knew lots of people would use GDrive. It sounds like their decision to drop it ha more to do with it's impact on their other products, and to fit in with their longterm vision. Google Docs might not have met as much use if GDrive helped solve some of the problems with MS Office, for example. It also sets user expectations.
