Many states in the US have justice systems that are at least ostensibly rehabilitation-based, and to the best of my knowledge many countries in Europe have punishment-based systems. But though we humans always want to make easy black and white characterizations anything involving as many people as a criminal justice system is going to end up as a compromise between various goals.

Great site by the way. Nice job.
I have received the following email 6 times, edited to remove referral code and Bitcoin address:

"Dear Sir or Madam,

A few hours ago the Bitcoin trading website Mt Gox has been hacked. Malicious individuals have been able to obtain a database containing usernames, email address and encrypted passwords. This information has been posted publicly on the internet.

As a Bitcoin supporter I'm now sending a message to every email address contained in the hacked database. This is to warn you that your username, email address and password have been leaked. I therefore strongly advice you to change your passwords. If you have used the same password on different websites it's highly recommended to change your password on all of your accounts!

For a more secure alternative to Mt Gox, the community appears to be moving to TradeHill. So this is no reason to lose faith in Bitcoin itself. It must be seen as a warning that not every website can be trusted with your data however! Their link is http://www.tradehill.com/?r=XXXXXXX (Note: You can remove the Referral Code when registering if you want!) This is certainly not the only website where you can exchange Bitcoins, also check out http://www.thebitcoinlist.com/dp_bitcoin/bitcoin-exchange/

Sincerely,

A Bitcoin supporter
1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX7"

If the sender is reading this, your script works (too well), and the warning was received 2 1/2 hours after the one from Mt. Gox, so you probably should have saved yourself the trouble.

The From headers shows the email is sent from Bitcoin@unknown.com. However, digging into the headers it is actually coming from gXXXXXXX@bXXXXXXXXXX.gXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com (trying to give the guy some privacy, since he's trying to be helpful, but this way others who get the message can correlate it).

I hope their good employees take note.
> There was talk of a version 4.1, which would include this functionality, being released “soon” — but that talk was as far back as February 2007, and GNU Screen 4.1 still has not materialized.

Fedora 15 comes with screen-4.1.0-0.3.20101110git066b098.fc15.x86_64. It's not an official release, but it doesn't mean that user can not benefit from new features like the vertical splitting mentioned by rbanffy.
The way I see it is that both Gmail wants her as a customer to click on ads, and she wants to use the Gmail service, because she likes most features. In that view pushing her to stop using the service is a loss for both, I can not see that being the best solution.

In my opinion saying "Happy fathers day" or having a Google Doodle is one thing. Putting it like a reminder in a personal setting, when you for example don't want to speak with your abusive father, is another.

I think the replacement solution needs four key components:

1) Stronger logical security

2) A triggering mechanism for halting suspicious trading

3) Clear rules for halting and rolling back market activity

4) Some measure of coverage for trading loss

I'm no expert in equity markets, but I would imagine someone who is can weigh in on how these specific issues are handled.

I generally prescribe blame to the person who had the ultimate sign-off authority. Their job is to think of the implications.
After a phone screen, we spend maybe five hours of developers' time on each candidate and reject 80–90% of them. If we provisionally hired all of them expecting useful work, we would invest far more time ramping them up on our system, risk outages from their early mistakes, disclose trade secrets to a bunch of devs who end up unhappy with us, and lose out on all the employed candidates up front (who aren't going to quit just for an extended interview).

Then there's the moral hazard of paying anyone who can get into our filter, rather than just the ones who can get all the way through it. It's the same reason we can't expect candidates to compensate us for the cost of interviewing them—it's better if a bad match is lose/lose than if anyone could reliably expect to be rewarded for wasting everyone else's time.
To the extent that our modern justice system is based on rehabilitation I think we're already pretty close to the model you seem to be saying is untenable. I only skimmed Blachford's article just now, but he seems to be saying that no criminal is responsible for his actions, which is very different from the tack taken by by this article, which distinguishes criminals who are responsible for their actions and those who aren't.
How is that helpful?

a) Every user of MtGox already received a message from MtGox directly telling them about the breach. His message did not add any new information at all.

b) He advertises for two direct competitor to MtGox, in once ase using what I assume is a referral link where he earns a comission for each trade.

c) He solicits donations for himself.

d) He does not give out his name and uses an invalid return address to hide his motifs.

e) He sent the message 6 times.
It aligns fairly well with Samuel Butler's Erewhon, actually -- and it should raise questions such as those visited in C. S. Lewis's essay The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment.
I don't really see the comparison. Google added a reminder that could not be removed to something people thought they had control of.
So anytime a service or piece of software does something frustrating your solution is to drop it & never communicate with the developer what the problem might be?

I would say that filtering out the Google Doodle or generic Happy Fathers Day greetings is easier than something that looks like a personal reminder to call dad on your personal contact list. One that is difficult to remove.

Sorry for answering late.

The independence of BBC is probably not perfect, but impressive. I might still trust NY Times and Washington Post more, as long as they don't write about big advertisers. There just seems to be less of organized political pressure on US media than when you have European parties.

For the European media I know enough of to have an opinion (Sweden), they are a sad joke. Let me give two examples.

1. Big advertisers never get bad stories.

2. After 1968, the left tried to take over the journalist occupation and seems to own it today. You can check this, by following one of the subjects where the left really care and compare with international press; Israel is good. (Pallywood has never been mentioned in Swedish mainstream media, neither torture between Hamas/PLO. There is a long, long, long list of examples like this.)

I've read bad things about e.g. Spanish press, but don't really know. There are, like USA, some incredibly good media in Europe -- and like in USA, most are garbage.
I don't think joblessjunkie is criticizing the command key (I personally don't mind either the Windows or Mac placement).

He's saying that the ctrl and the fn key (used to access the function keys instead of brightness/expose/volume/etc) should be swapped. I completely agree; I never use the fn key and my pinkie ends up bending for the control key.
Any evidence this is actually true?
Why exactly do people who have a great relationship with their father even need a reminder to call their father on Father's Day? Should we make a shallow & judgmental accusation that those who can't remember to call their father on Father's Day don't really love their father & are maladjusted "lusers"?

Not only that, but it's ironically in your best interest not to even read others' patents lest you be subject to treble damages. So the original purpose of the patent system (trading temporarily monopoly for disclosure) seems almost moot.
Fuck you pal. I'll decide when I get over what.
Slightly more intelligent than human is not the same as magic. Self improving AI is a nice theory but it assumes you can get better at everything at the same time without tradeoffs and that takes better hardware not just software. Science fiction is full of magic masquerading as technology, but it ignores the possibility that reality may not support that capability. Predicting the future requires more than simply extrapolating trends it also requires understanding physical limitations, early engines saw rapid increases in both HP and efficiency but that trend slowed down for a reason.

EX: Literal eternal life requires a universe that is capable of lasting that long. If the fundamental laws of physics limit either the age of the universe or the amount of useful work that can be done then you at some point everything dies. So no we are down from eternal to just really long life.

Also, 1.0001x a smart as a human is not really significant. 1,000 AI's 1.0001x smarter than a human is not going to be able to say beat 1 grand master at go without training or hundreds of years of preparation. I have no problem saying AI get's to quickly build better software, but building hardware at scale takes time.
I just tend to think that the best use of her time might be to evaluate her feelings towards her father rather than get gmail to help her put her head in the sand. It's obvious the she still has unresolved issues with her dad and should either resolve them with her dad, or resolve them with out her dad. Either way when "Reminder: Call Dad" requires a ticket to Gmail you know you have some issues to take care of and none of them are getting the feature removed.
well, can't blame them. considering they sold the company twice, they're not stupid businessmen.
This is pretty standard. If your options haven't vested and you're let go there usually isn't much you can do. I doubt MS has anything to do with it, except the fact that they probably didn't express any particular concern regarding the deal if these employees were let go.
But GMail doesn't require other people using GMail to be useful.
I remember this used to be possible in the classic MacOS (System 7, technically it wasn't called "MacOS" back then). The native PICT image format was just QuickDraw graphics API calls serialized to a binary file, so there was a screenshot program that would simply record the API calls made, and save them to a PICT file.

Stay classy Skype.

I wish there was an alternative that matched Skype's previous good qualities (or better). The obfuscation of the OS X Skype client UI, plus the fact that they're now owned by Microsoft has cast a shadow on what used to be a great service (to me at least). Surely there is room in the market for a serious competitor.
It is not so much about MD5, but more about not using a random salt for each password.

Five emotions invented by the internet
It's actually more of a PR ploy. The reason people love Google so much is because they are constantly contextualizing their service. Google voice just moved from being able to make calls to connecting you to your father which creates a much better bond between the users of the service and the service by invoking emotion. The fact that they are getting complaints only highlights how effective it is.

Google contextualizes their services to their audience, Android isn't about making phone calls, it's about 'open source'. Why? Because they need a bunch of developers to have an emotional reason to turn down the app store to write Android apps. Now that they have a competitive platform they can drop that rhetoric and focus on contexualizing Android to everyone who isn't a developer.

In human beings emotionality will trump rationality about 99% of the time, the remainder will be labeled heartless and ignored.

Actions speak louder than words. If they don't want to look like an IBM-esque monolith then they shouldn't act like one. Would IBM be less of a monolithic beast if they had commercials with puppies in them, yet never changed their polices or actions?

Personalizations are cute so long as you have a personal relationship with who is doing it. If Google was a three man team who interacted with their userbase on a regular basis then these acts of personalization would mean more. But a 26,000 plus employee company having faceless developer #014345 implement feature #21542154, is much harder to pull off as being personal or cute. Especially considering how impersonal Google is towards customer service. It can come off like a socially awkward geek trying to make conversation...

Here let's remind you about your great father(or possibly your dead, abusive or absent father) to show how human & personal we are as a company, but if you actually have a problem with one of our products or services good luck actually getting a personal touch then.

Once upon a time, there was a penguin who learned how to fly. He held a huge weekend event where he taught all the other penguins to fly. They gathered from all over the southern hemisphere to learn how to fly. After a few hours some started to catch on. By the end of the weekend, they all figured it out. It was amazing. Everyone kept talking about how much fun flying was when they walked home the next day.

It seems the entire bitcoin community can't wrap their heads around what being decentralized means. We've got this great network, but it's supported by a couple of sites. It's a centralized community/economy built on a decentralized currency. It's a bunch of penguins who can fly but are walking home anyway.

The issue you describe is legitimate: having an unsolicited reminder that can't be deleted is a bad choice, period. The parts about being offended because of a lousy or recently late father are unnecessary and unhelpful appeals to emotion.

What can a (startup) employee do to prevent these sort of situations from occurring after a liquidity event? In particular, what sort of terms should be in your hiring agreement -- eg. double trigger acceleration?
iPhone started out with a lead, so it's not the same thing.
The articles information is very out of date, and relies on multiple issues to successfully work:

* It needs an array literal (eg. []) to be constructed using the function referenced by the Array property on the global object. (This was spec ambiguity and only effects older IE and Firefox -- very old firefox, maybe only up to netscape or phoenix?)
* It needs assignments in object and array literals to call setters on the prototype chain.

Both of these issues were fixed by ES5 (the first may have been fixed in ES3.1) by saying that Array and Object literal notation both use the initial values of Array and Object (so you can't change the constructor used), and by saying that all assignments are "direct" so won't call setters on the prototype chain.

This effectively makes JSON hijacking impossible, except of course for the large numbers of old browsers that are out there.

This is also a distinct issue from JSONP hijacking, for which there isn't a solution other than to not use JSONP.
I have listed a site which uses a purchased/premium template before. However, I made it quite clear that I did not do the design work that I simply did the front end/backend coding and that someone else did the design work.

Pretty common, rarely as blatant.

Most commonly what you'll see is employees/founders who had vested but left the company early get screwed.
This sounds like it was explicitly to get around the trigger clauses in the contract. They likely had acceleration for change of control, and fired people before the "event" that would have triggered that acceleration.
When I first saw it, I did find it remarkably annoying, but didn't actually put my finger on it until now: to me it doesn't feel "cute" at all, but rather like a machine or a robot, maybe trying to sound cute, but coming off only as imperative -- like "Reminder: taxes are due today."
Technically this isn't Skype anymore. Skype management needed a cue from Microsoft.

Somewhat concerning: "What looks like a real pageview from a modern browser might be a browser downloading your page resources in the background before possibly being presented to an actual visitor. Websites that care about separating eyeballs from machines should add new JavaScript to their pages to create awareness of the current loading state."

So won't this be confusing, as non-discriminating sites choose to inflate their page views by ignoring whether those were prefetches or real loads?

And what about ads?
"Transferring wealth" isn't an abandonment of fiduciary duty, it's exactly what you do when you hire people and pay them. Nor is there anything wrong with negotiating contracts describing the details.
