An intuitive way of calculating the permutations w/o the multinomial co-efficient:

For a 3 digit passcode, there must be 1 pair of repeated digits somewhere in the 4 number sequence e.g. 1_1_, 11__, _11_ etc.. so 2 x 3 = 6 different pairs. This pair of repeated digits is any one of the 3 unique numbers e.g. 11__ or 22__ or 33__. For any pair of repeated digits, there are just 2 options left for how the other 2 digits must be arranged in the sequence of 4 e.g. xx12 or xx21. So 6 x 3 x 2 = 36.

For a 2 digit passcode, there are 2^4 = 16 permutations, except since there must be at least 1 of each digit present, you have to subtract the 2 permutations with 4 repeated digits e.g. 0000 or 1111. So 16 - 2 = 14.

To be pedantic - the French and Russian (and many other) revolutions didn't work out great for the rich.

"this indicates that many accounts had been compromised for at least days, if not weeks, before today's attack"

this is an interesting inference. I wonder what else they could've got up to in this time, if indeed true.
you would get the same 'double tap' effect if you enter your pin twice too
I didn't know about that but I think that would be a bit over my head. This is my first web app and it uses strictly IP's to get location.
If you can tell me where you're located though, I might be able to help you with the 404 you're getting. A lot of the bugs are very specific cases that will only show up for one or two cities in the country.
According to their Applicant Guidebook:

String reviews (concerning the applied-for gTLD string). String reviews include a determination that the applied-for gTLD string is not likely to cause security or stability problems in the DNS, including problems caused by similarity to existing TLDs or reserved names.
I couldn't disagree more and I salute the OP for his efforts. The point is that he is documenting his journey from day 1. You obviously don't make money on day 1. I hope he rides the wave and reaches and then exceeds his goal of $1000 per month. I'd be inspired by that.
So cool! This is what I had started working on for the HNSearch API Contest, but I hadn't gotten far. I'm SO glad someone did this. I feel as though this could be made into a useful and viable product, if marketed correctly and accurate enough.
In what respect? For the average person, its likely irrelevant (its a micro-detail you simply don't need to care about: you would be more interested in "made from oats" or "made from rice" (irrespective of the products gluten content)).
I pretty well understand that there are rules that are technically implemented to be enforced (protocols, cryptography etc) but when there is some problem in the system (hacking, fraud etc.) there is no one to enforce fairness. The value of given currency is not based only on technical implementations but on trust. In this case the trust and Authority is the technical implementation of this protocol (all bitcoin markets participating). The technical implementation cannot self improve. You can only trust that technical implementation (cryptography, protocols etc) are implemented as specified.

How to fix any computer
As a die-hard KeePass/KeePassX user who recently had 1Password forced down his throat as part of a new job...well, it's actually pretty slick. ;) The browser integration is exceptionally well done, and definitely worth the price of admission.

One feature I didn't know I wanted until I started using it was the fact that the database is actually saved in a browser-renderable format (decryption is performed in javascript, all client-side). So, save your password database to Dropbox, and if you're on, say, Linux (where a native client isn't available), you can still get at your passwords just like any other password keeper. No editing or adding new passwords via that interface, sadly.

(Added plus: you can actually render it directly through the Dropbox website, which is a nice plus if you're at a machine you're not syncing.)
People that get angry about things like this should really just chill. Google's probably created much more happiness than sorrow with this feature, by reminding kids to call their dads.
Back in the nineties, while visiting a research facility on an airforce base, i saw a solution to the fingerprint problem. The electronic keypad simply randomized the positions of the digits before each login attempt. Not very convenient considering that you cant't use your muscle memory, but pretty much hack-resistant.
Can you really not deal with encountering someone with different beliefs than your own? As someone with minority beliefs -- a small minority -- I deal with it every day. It's just a matter of respect.
Google Could Add Face Recognition to Google Profiles
Did anyone else find it somewhat ironic that that page looks terrible on wide screens, and is as such quite difficult to read? Columns are important, especially when your readers may be dyslexic (Like I am), narrower pieces of text are far easier to read than 'wall to wall' solid chunks of text.
I find it funny that people are outraged about unsalted MD5 yet they use passwords like "secret123" that are found in every wordlist.

Guess what: Even salted hashes won't save your ass with such weak passwords. And yes: it's a FUCKING TRADING PLATFORM you want to put money on so _you_ should think of a secure password.

Six questions that rejected Venture Capital seekers could not answer
Raising funding for an early-stage venture is always difficult. There is no bottled recipe for success, but even if you have a great concept that is scalable combined with a passionate team that can execute the growth strategy, you still need to communicate this in a multifaceted investor’s pitch.
Very nice. We did something very similar some years ago, http://notamap.com, with the idea of making it very easy to save maps with notes and embed them on your web. No sign-up, no database storing your data: everything is encoded in the URL you keep. A pity we never really polished it, nor tried to promote it. It has a small but faithful user base.
Everyone's an idiot some of the time (Scott Adams anecdote)
We might as well just go to an AOL Keywords system.
Actually, the problem might have been exactly that. An updated posting on their sites says "It appears that someone who performs audits on our system and had read-only access to our database had their computer compromised. This allowed for someone to pull our database."
Only half my gesture lock is visible like that.

I do change it from time to time which may have played a part in that though.

Yeah, I thought this as well- why the hell, if you had access to all the accounts, you wouldn't just take all the coins.
But- mtgox is the main exchange (handles 90% of volume), so how would you launder the money elsewhere? There just wouldn't be the volume to get it out. Also, everyone can trace bitcoins- if you took them, people can see what you are doing with them. I think this was possibly the easier, surefire way to go.
Kilim - actors and message passing in Java
While I do not have anything to add in the sence that I have never been a CTO, I would like to say that while you probably should have known some things going into this, I appreciate/admire your honesty regarding your shortcomings. I think that is an admirable trait that many lack.

Always be honest with yourself and others with respect to your knowledge/understanding.

I assume you work for a small company/start up. Have you talked with your CEO about what he expects from you regarding timelines and progress estimates?
pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip install -f requirements.txt

Now whenever you go to develop, pip install -f requirements.txt, when you update dependent packages, pip freeze.

You are by no means required to make your source code a module or anything like that. If you use the above with a virtualenv you can isolate different models for different projects and have them frozen at different versions. You are also able to modify requirements.txt to include version specific information. packagename==3.4.0 now locks packagename to 3.4.0 when pip goes to install it.

I'm assuming your git directory looks like this:

$DIR
\
| - requirements.txt
| - fileone.py
| - filetwo.py
| - folder
\
| - __init__.py
| - filethree.py

I have several projects set up exactly like that, especially since they will never have to be distributed using a .egg or anything else.
This exactly. People _could_ have withdrawn a bunch, but mostly that didn't happen.

Look, science fiction requires a willing suspension of disbelief. I get that.

I get too that the article starts with a metaphor.

The metaphor seems bogus to me. And the post was apparently not science fiction. So I said, the metaphor seems bogus to me. Your response seems to be, "it's imagery." Okay, my position is that this premise/metaphor/imagery is probably bogus and as such, hurts the article.

I can't suspend my disbelief long enough to get to the rest of the article. F=>X is T for all X. Cast article form of tautology.

I appreciate your response to me, as opposed to the downvotes my response received with no explanation.
I agree! And actually you can already do multichannel stuff, but currently that requires you to use either Audio API exclusively, because Chrome supports only 2 channels for javascript processing (but the internal effects are multi-channel), but Firefox supports only javascript processing.
I was shopping for a simple necklace for the femm-bot and found an acceptable one at overstock. For at least the following month, I was positively bombarded with advertisements for that necklace. It was particularly annoying, since I had already bought it.

(I don't actually know which ad network I was being harassed by, it just happens to be the only long-term advertising I recall being exposed to)
Meh, I doubt it'll have any major effect.

The vast majority of TLDs that are introduced fail very quickly (.name, .biz, .pro, a range of ccTLDs whose country's citizens opt for the 'big 3' - .com, .net and .org - regardless, etc)

All that'll happen here - IMO - is that a few of the bigger names will waste $185k on their unique TLDs, realise that their users get confused by them (never underestimate the ability of big companies to misunderstand it's users..) and either switch back or stick ridgidly to using them with no positive effect.

So yep, I'm not too concerned about this. ICANN aren't a great organisation, and they seem to mainly bring out new TLDs to get more money.

Assistly Review: Helping out with helpdesks
That's right, and let's be clear here: Mt. Gox has been kind of a mess from the beginning. They've never appeared to have a clue about security, and performance has been a complete and utter mess for quite a while now. To give you some idea, the trade that blew through the entire buy-side took over 30 minutes to execute, and the exchange essentially slowed to a standstill during that time. I realize that there are a lot of orders on any exchange at any moment, but 30 minutes of downtime in response to a single order? Come on...that's not even to mention the complete lack of sanity checks or catastrophe reporting that you'd expect in any system like this that touches people's money - it should not have required people directly tracking down the site owner to get a human looking at this stuff!

That type of thing is maybe acceptable from a lean startup that's learning as it goes, but when you're transacting over a million dollars in trades per day, there's an expectation that you'll figure out what you need to do to get things running smoothly.

This might not be totally fair, but when I saw the .php extension on all the trade API URLs and noticed that there was a dynamically generated price chart on the front page (apparently not cached, based on how long it took to load) I was immediately suspicious of the competence of the Mt. Gox devs to handle the scale of what they'd created (or rather, AFAIK, the scale of the system that they purchased from the original creator)...I'm not really that surprised that security was completely botched, this has seemed like a very amateur operation from the beginning.

Criticize my startup
My new startup, Test Collab is a web app which helps software teams with test management. (Not sure what test management is? Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_management)

Why another test management tool? We thought most of these existing tools out there were either too complicated or too simple or outdated. That's when we decided to start our own test management tool with focus on 2 qualities: speed & simplicity.

And here we are today, our private beta is ready and we're planning to do the public launch very soon, but I believe that would be incomplete without the criticism from the community. So I sincerely request anyone who's interested, join us on http://testcollab.com & criticize us. Feel free to do that publicly as well.

To join, just submit your email on homepage.

What are we looking for?
- Genuine feedback or advice.
- Innovators who are willing to try this new tool.

Why do it?
- You may learn how our tool can be useful for your organization.
- You can pin point flaws and expect to be heard for any ideas/suggestions you may have.
- Criticizing is fun!

You can either comment here or directly email us at support@testcollab.com

Looking forward to the feedback.
Microsoft approves WP7 jailbreak
This is an "I told you so" post, but not about bitcoin, about the current exchanges.

I haven't cashed out any bitcoins because the current exchanges are a fucking joke and I've said as much many times in the IRC channel and forums. Bitcoins will remain a novelty for people with lots of disposable income until it has a real money changing service linking it to other exchanges. I can not conceive of the level of folly it would take for me to put anything more than pocket money on one of the current exchanges.
You always need governing authority to enforce the rules, just because the cryptography protocol can not handle all the possible situations of human interactions and because money have no intrinsic value. Value is determined by the level of trust to Authority transferred by different communication channels and protocols (encrypted messages, paper with special printings etc.) In the case of Bitcoin it is not necessary to be Government Authority.
No, but you need to create an account to keep reading. Annoying, at any rate.

I would say his comment stems from the apparent lack of knowledge regarding the different frameworks that are available Python and the lumping in of a Ruby project with Python projects.

From an outside perspective it looks like you are skimming the service and do not yet have a firm grasp as to the two communities and what they have provided. This is okay, it is something you can alleviate by simply learning more about the two communities, and hopefully in the future you will be able to provide your opinion on the state of frameworks based on correct information/facts.

Plutor & Fedor: A Facebook Acquisition Story
Help with Ratings feature: how to limit spam? 
Hi all,
I run an online accommodation reservation builder and I am going to add ratings now.
Until two weeks ago I was quite confident that I could avoid spammers by limiting rating privileges to guests who paid through the system to reserve.
That will avoid all the fake reviews TripAdvisor gets.
But now, after 10 days in Vietnam I am afraid that's not enough.
What happens here is:
- Hotel Manager reserves its own room for one night for a Ghost Guest.
- Ghost Guest comes, sleeps and leaves (nobody comes actually of course)
- Hotel Manager leaves a great review.
Cost of the great review? A few U$, the commission paid to the online reservation system.
That's a great deal as it WILL bring many customers.

I am really sure this happens because I stayed in hotels via Agoda.com which were "fantastic", "best breakfast ever", "best hotel in Asia" and BS like that.
The hotels were fine, but the ratings unreal.

So, one idea I have is to give a weight to each rating, proportional to the number of nights, giving a particular low value to the ones for 1 night stays, which are probably 99% of fakes ones.

Do you have suggestions?

thank you in advance!

I think I have been in your shoes. I got lucky at a young age and semi-made a name for myself.

I started working on an open source project when I was around 17 years old. By the time I was 18 or 19, the project was gaining in popularity. I got a great job right out of high school and moved to California. There were several times when I actually overheard random people talking about my project in public. That was cool.

As time went on, I moved on to different job due to various circumstances (none the fault of myself, but of the market.)

11 years or so have now passed and I am finishing up a few years of contract work/freelancing. Money was good for a while but the contracts dried up when the economy took a turn. I'm a smart dude, but I was never good at marketing myself.

I went through a year of depression where I stopped looking for work and couldn't convince myself that I was worth anything.

It took damn near that entire year to convince myself that I was still the same bright dude that did all of these things. I don't say this to be boastful, but instead to say that you are still that same person that accomplished whatever it is that you did.

It took a long, hard year for me to realize that. Once I came to that realization, my depression began to fade. I am now fighting and clawing to put myself back out in the world.

I've started up a couple start-up ideas (once is a very small niche that should launch in the next couple weeks, basically just waiting on the financial bits to fall into place.), and the other I hope to have up and going a couple months after.

I am actively submitting resumes now. I did not hear back from a couple of the companies to which I submitted my resume. I don't feel phased by that anymore. I know that I can/will be valuable to a company and if some company does not see that then some other company will.

I honestly can not say what helped me overcome my issues. I had friend constantly telling me encouraging thoughts, saying wonderful things to me, but I didn't believe it. I was simply in a dark place. As I think about it now, however, the best I can do for putting a finger on my solution was:
* I started exercising again. It does a lot, not only for your physical health, but for your mental health
* I quit smoking. It makes you sluggish.
* Limit your drinking for the same reason.
* I started working on side projects that excited me.

Now that excitement that I had when I was a fresh lad at 19 years old feels reborn, only now I am 30 years old and ready to take on the world all over again, cheesy as it may sound.

I don't let the accomplishments of others get me down. I have decided, instead, to let them inspire. Did someone do something you want to do? Well, damnit, do it better!

I apologize if this is rambling, I'm just kind of going stream of consciousness from the heart.

Best of luck to you.
