Actually, Plato paints a very conservative society in the Republic, and even more so in the Laws. However the general picture from the Socratic dialogues isn't so clear cut; Socrates' interlocutors are mostly young people (Phaedrus, Alcibiades, and the likes), and for a part stubborn older people, rhetors, politicians, etc. not really as eager to learn as the young :)
It replaces SMS when the recipient has a device that supports it. Otherwise it'll just send an SMS. The send button is green for SMS and blue for iMessages. But the point is indeed that the user doesn't have to think twice about it.

If the American people knew what really goes on around IPOs-- especially how they're priced and allocated-- the streets would be littered with the heads of top bankers. This is one or many areas in which banks are willing to outdo the imagination in terms of sleaze.
I thought the same way. Not only the Wifi but also the question about safety. Is it just me or is there a strict state/federal building code for that kinda thing? And mentioning a cement plant? Apple isn't dumb if they hire top architects that's something they'd have realized. They really acted like clowns if you ask me...

That's looks like a really good method. How quickly can you compute f(url, poem)? My hash function is f(url, one-of-3-master-passwords) and takes about 5 seconds to calulate.

I always feel like I missed out on being able to do proper hashing functions in my head. When my 8 month old son is old enough I'm planning on training him to be able to compute MD5 and SHA hashes.
Look at those memory usage graphs, does this means those servers are leaking memory?

That's not anti-intellectual. That's just being discerning about what information you take in. Everyone needs to do that, especially with regard to, e.g., news media.

Anti-intellectualism is when people start making ridiculous statements like "classical literature is boring and irrelevant" and "college is a waste of time" (rather than merely overpriced).

> No, they might not be deserving of customers trust but that doesn't mean that throwing egg on their face is helping the situation any.

But not throwing egg on their face was helping less. As long as security bugs are mostly invisible they don't get fixed.

> They should have informed Sony of the issue.

If Sony needed to be told to lock their doors it's only because they didn't care. (At least in 2011. It might have been different in 1997...)

> It's not helping the market and its not helping consumers?

In the end, it helps the market and the consumers. If companies get away with broken security that penalizes, by comparison, other companies who spend more to develop a secure product, or who produce a less ambitious product because they know it's all that can be done securely.

Customers win because they get a more realistic view of what they're buying.

> You and I both know that they should not be storing stuff plain text or with some bad security practice and we understand what it takes to make it right but to the common person they are instantly put off all places where they have to put card details. The overall perception of the web is stepping back 15 years in the eyes of the general consumer, soon people will be afraid to put their details anywhere.

As they should be. You can see how well protected everything isn't.

> I agree completely with what you are saying but that's from my point of view, I'm thinking general consumer confidence.

Confidence through ignorance doesn't seem like a gift.

Do you realize that " get a garage/basement, invest 10k in some serious GPU shit and get at it. with the prices continuing to go up, you should come out ahead." is not real value creation and goes in face of Economics 101? If people can make money out of nothing, I'd say it is a bubble which will eventually pop.
I think the key here would also involve the branding of the billboard: most boards have the board owner's branding along the bottom, be it CBS, ClearChannel, or one of the regional players. I can't imagine the board owners would be OK with having their brand listed next to board content they didn't clear or control.

I wanted to buy bitcoins last week when the rate was 9,5 $
I did a transaction to MtGox via my bank, and today, 8 days later, the payment still hasn't been processed, my bank usually takes 10 days apparently. But today the price has soared to 26 $

He writes:

"Regarding the resources used by each server, Nginx is the winner in term of memory usage, as the amount of memory does not increases with the number of concurrent clients."

So I guess the memory consumption is caused by the number of concurrent clients, and not by a memory leak.
Ok I agree with that. Developers aren't doing any "new" development on Windows. It's all maintenance and release "upgrades" to generate revenue. And MS itself is doing this too (look at Office).
Assuming the commodity has value, it's effectively the same as gold mining, it's just that the work is completely automated. The only "money being made out of nothing" is due to quantitative easing in fiat currencies. Bitcoins must be mined, and currently at least the setup and administration necessary to pull that off in a way with decent returns is out of the reach of almost all people (not necessarily people here, though).
Same in FF4 on Windows. Additionally, "We" in "Welcome" and "We've" in "We've got a job" are behind the bearded dude with the briefcase.

"I predict that Mac OS X 10.8 or 11 – whichever number they choose – will also remove this, and all Apple devices will only ship with touch screens." - this does not make sense.

There was a quite recent keynote where Steve said this precise solution is impossible for usability reasons, and won't be implemented. You can't comfortably operate a vertically aligned touchscreen. That's why they went with huge trackpads.

Resolving AAAA records doesn't have much to do with IPv6 connectivity. The whole point today is to see what happens when clients receive AAAA records in addition to A records. If a misconfigured client thinks it can use IPv6 but can't, then the existence of that AAAA causes problems.
Well done!!

>It did come to violence once in our history

What on earth are you talking about? Every one of those cases was changed through violence. Stop treating people as property? The civil war. No more discrimination? You think that was all done by speeches? What was MLK Jr. talking about when he mentioned "the blast heard 'round the world"?

Powerful people never give up power without violence or obvious threat of violence. You're seeing things how you wish they were.
They could put advertisements wherever they wanted. They're not limited to piggy-back on real-life billboards.

Theoretically, they could cover the sides of buildings with advertisements, but it would kinda suck if all that augmented reality had to offer was advertisement everywhere.
The Pentegon is not under market pressure to be efficient or turn a profit. They don't even get audited.
This may seem naive, but is this the most effective advertising?

The only use case for street view I have seen so far is Navigation at a deeper level than Maps and the "ooh theres my house" wow factor.

I fail to see how advertising on billboards in this manor is more effective than google adwords below the street view. To me it would seem more clearer and readable than a "photoshopped" (for want of a better word) advert into a photographed billboard.

I would suggest finding a start up you like or other partners in whatever your interests are and then investing in them through phatom shares (consult a lawyer, its a fairly new construct).

You mentioned wanting to start a company with the money so find co-founders. From there create an operating agreement and register the company in a legal way that you can be an employee and owner (Inc, c-Corp etc). Obviously you will need to get a lawyer to do the appropriate wrangling but there are many ways to do this. Phantom shares, options etc.

Alternatively, you could do what one multi-national investor I know did and turn yourself into a company and sell shares of yourself to other investors. From there you can start up subsidiaries in whatever country through whatever standard private company (Inc, C-Corp) legal forms are permissible for a multinational to set up subsidiaries. Again consult appropriate lawyers, but I do know it is possible. This guy runs investment firms in India and America and has companies that run all over the place. It is possible when you have the money to do it. And if you want to create value its a good way to go if you find you have a nose for investments/opportunities.

Best of luck and congratulations on your new found wealth.
Just because they've got money to burn doesn't mean they want to burn money. They own Infinite Loop, and they'd have a hard time finding a buyer.

Besides, moving everybody in the entire company into a new building sounds like a major pain and a disruption to operations.
It's on an arterial road in a mostly residential neighborhood with no real foot traffic except for a bar on the next block, and a double gas station corner two blocks up on the other side, but still in a very walkable neighborhood near public transit. So it's not exactly well suited to a pop-up store, it's just legal to do it and a pretty good location otherwise... it's just the kind of place people mostly drive past without stopping.
I have a unique, random password for nearly every account I have (with a few throwaway exceptions). I store them all in a file, encrypted with a master password, and sync that file to all my machines using Dropbox. I open and modify the file with Password Gorilla on Mac and Linux and PasswordSafe on Windows.

Both programs read/write the same file format and allow you to create any internal hierarchy you want (eg Stores > Electronics > NewEgg, or News > HackerNews). Password Gorilla's UI is pretty bad, but workable. Both let me copy and paste a password without displaying it on screen.

Works great. I got the idea from Joel Spolsky: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/09/11b.html

You are wrong. Previously the place was used by HW, with some 9k employes. There will only be a 3k increase in number of workers, which as jobs said is about 20% more people.

Sure, 20% is noticeable, but one should analyse the roads and connections to the campus to know how noticeable will those 20% more traffic be.

If I were in your shoes, I'd hold a rolling percentage based on market performance and cash out via alternate channels than just MtGox 1k USD limits, you can likely find some reliable channels for conversion into alternate stores of value. I believe the #bitcoin-otc channel on freenode has cryptographically signed rep tracking systems for the market participants there, and if you can provide btc they probably would be only too happy to accommodate your desire to liquidate to a less volatile store of value.

When you finally have your wealth sorted, enter negotiations with your employer from a position of strength. If you really do actually like your job and think what you're doing is important, maybe see if you can roll some wealth into the business as an investor as well as an employee providing yourself with a motivation boost in performance in the process. If you don't like your job perhaps negotiating better conditions or conditions more suited to pursuing your own business interests is a better path.

With your experience in the bitcoin markets you might also be in a position to simply finance a really good bitcoin focused startup. I had an idea that I was going to try for myself but turns out I don't have the capital necessary to do so, so you're welcome to it if you like;

Create a superfluid buying agent consisting of two components, a basic exchange service like MtGox that cashes btc to a fiat currency on the backend, and frontend merchant widgets that update a given fiat currency price displayed in BTC to the actual user. This would give your users the ability to shop on any traditional internet shopping site and pay with btc transparently, you would assumedly implement the dynamic pricing in btc using a browser plugin of some description.

Further automate your trades so if the market is rising you hold btc, if it's falling you instantly liquidate to fiat for your received btc. It turns out to be basically a transparent way to accrue more btc in an upwards moving market and act as a fee charging instant electronic funds transfer provider in a downwards moving market. The dynamic pricing protects you from the volatility in the exchange rates.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck, and congratulations on spotting an early opportunity.
