I really wonder who is the person whose coins were being sold off. I mean, that's the real story here: somebody had many tens of thousands of BTC that were stolen from his MtGox account and were sold off at a very low price. (The story that people were buying BTC at very low prices is a distraction, the real story is that somebody was SELLING at this low price.)

The other thing is that MtGox did not suspend trading once market moved 20%. I think if it had such failsafe it could have prevented this fiasco. (Should shut down the marketplace once market moves 20% in any direction to reassess the situation and check if there is technical error or panic, or similar event that requires additional intervention. Any mature market requires such failsafe.)
Good call, 'Wintermute' :)

The population is heterogeneous, but there's still a fair amount of distrust and alienation between north and south Indians. However, I agree that that's still a step forward from the "animosity" of the previous generation.
I don't think it allows any arbitrary website to record your sounds. Your browser is in charge of turning your sounds into text right?
So annoyed that they spent the second half of the twentieth century inviting them back to work in the UK.
I stand on the other end. The reason why I choose tornado for my startup was because it did not use twisted (too early for twisted in my project). Tornado has a great modular structure so you can use each module on its own. The code is lovely to look at too.
Yes, but I don't know what the mic icon is. Does it just call a function? Is it a Chrome-provided icon that is always on top? Can the menu that is shown be edited by the website?

Quake was a huge part of my formative nerd years. I remember fondly the first time I ran the BSP calculation for a level I built, fired it up and crapped my pants at how smooth the rendering was. The game itself was pretty bizarre, but so many nerdgasms were had over the insanely beautiful shit they were able to render in real time.

And then if you got a 3dfx Voodoo Graphics card you would get translucent water and bilinear filtering on the textures....

Those were the days.

If anyone wants to really travel back in time, the original QuakeTalk newsletter is still available online: http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/docs/faqs/qtalk400.txt. I remember vividly reading through John Romero's gameplay concepts and being ridiculously excited. Of course there was no way they could've achieved what my naive 14 year old self imagined from those interviews. But it sure was nice to think about.
yeah, blame it on the western imperialists!
I found some parts of it to be very poorly written. Like the error handling where it assumes you want to return HTML (remember that Tornado was first written to handle RSS feeds). It also has really poor support for multiprocess mode, where if a child gets killed , the parent does not restart it. Or if the parent is killed, the children may continue running. Also the gzip implementation is broken: if the client mentions gzip even as q=0, Tornado will use it. Just feels like the devs did not not quite pay attention to the details as much as the event loop.
Been thinking about this article as I play his game (which is great). Some thoughts:

(1) it seems like there's a big opportunity for someone to step in with a service that just handles the backend work on the Android Market. Something less then a full fledged publisher but cheaper too. If he's spending say 5% of his time dealing with these sorts of issues (I can't imagine the number is any higher or much higher) then one guy could, as he scales, work up to doing this full time, handle a number of mildly successful indie developers, take 5% from each and be mildly successful himself (more than mildly actually he'll be much more efficient meaning he can scale to many developers).

(2) Apple's App Store on the other hand could greatly benefit from some sort of Preferred or Trusted status for certain devs. Maybe it prioritizes their review or allows them to bypass approval for purely bugfix releases. Perhaps they have to fork over another 1-2% in additional fees or insurance or maybe revenues are deferred until the update passes review.
I'm encouraged that Noir builds on top of existing tools. It indicates that our current set of web libraries is flexible and modular enough to act as a good foundation for more sophisticated frameworks.

It looks like Noir uses a custom "lein run" command to start the server. Have you considered using the lein-ring plugin, instead?

Cloud Drive, Cloud Storage Drive for PCs and Servers - Redstor

On blind faith alone, I have to imagine this will be improved significantly going forward.

I use Google's voice recognition algorithms/systems on my Android phone all the time. Every day. Often to dictate complete SMS and Emails, while I'm driving, via my car's AD2P bluetooth mic, with all the ambient noise/etc present in a car on the interstate. (Though to be fair it's not an aftermarket bluetooth solution and I'm sure the mic is high quality and well placed.)

It is very good. The most common type of mistake -- and still rare at that -- is stuff like "let's not go until..." is transcribed as "let's not going tell" and stuff like that.

When I first started using the voice features when I got the phone (HTC Evo), i was blown away at the quality of the results.

And of course, Google has been practicing this stuff for a very long time. Everybody knows about Goog-411 (which was heaven before I got a smartphone) but does anybody else remember the little gimmick Google Labs page where you can click on the page, then call the number it displays for you, speak your query into the phone, and then right before your eyes your page reloads with your query and results.

That was at least nine years ago.

The examples uses Clojure as the language for defining the HTML

See this Stackoverflow question... CL-WHO-like HTML templating for other languages? (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/671572/cl-who-like-html-t...) which provides some examples in other languages.

However, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience developing web applications using a Lisp-dialect for generating the HTML (as Noire and the example in Practical Common Lisp), and if this is scalable to a team where front-end developers might not be used to or familiar with Lisp.

I like keeping the HTML markup within the back-end developers domain and leave the front-end developers/designers to just use Javascript & CSS around it. (disclaimer: In most cases I'm both the back-end and front-end developer :)

NodeLists and Arrays in JavaScript
I don't know Clojure (not sure how expressive it is), but for a framework isn't the code too less? I have seen other frameworks, but they are quite large (in terms of LOC.) Is it that they contain more functionality?
A few thoughts just on the home page:

Love the design overall. Copy is quirky and humorous, but still feels professional.
I agree with others that the vertical navigation is probably not the best.
For some reason that is probably irrational, I hardly ever play product videos but love screenshots. Maybe that's just me.

In this HN post, you've given the app context. ie "Get stuff done collaboratively, from small tasks to complex projects." and "a GTD web app that allows you to manage all your to-dos and projects in a simple visual interface that emulates "pegging" 3x5 cards to a board." That explains a lot for me. However, that information isn't obvious when landing on the homepage. The "How it works" hints at it, but not as well as what you've written here IMO.

Minor things:
Horizontal scroll slightly annoying. I'm using latest Safari (5.0.5) on OS X, 1440 x 990.
The lined page behind the Add Cards to Get Stuff Done box doesn't line with the text for me. Slightly harsh on legibility.

That said, I'm looking forward to trying it out when I've got some time!
They also outed a prominent anonymous political blogger because the head of the ABC said bloggers could provide better analysis than newspapers sometimes: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/39038.html

Miku is the polar opposite though -- she's a character that anyone can use to create their own albums, merchandise, comics, and so forth. The real product is the software itself, which the character has, of course, so effectively promoted.

Effectively, Miku is a sort of "democratized" form of pop culture: instead of a single media company tightly controlling a pop star, it's the masses who reap the benefits.

Hatsune Miku is to Japanese pop idols what Touhou is to popular traditional franchises like Gundam -- and accordingly, has grown in popularity at nearly unheard-of rates. If we're lucky, the next few decades will have more and more of this: pop culture made by consumers, for consumers, for the benefit of consumers.
I'm exactly the opposite. If I'm not comfortable, I will spend all my time and money working towards being comfortable. Once I'm comfortable, then I can actually get other stuff done.

This goes for home (play vs side projects) and work (fixing my working environment to remove pain points) and pretty much everything I do.
Anyone know why they didn't go with Jinja2 for templates? When code is this clean I'm sympathetic towards the "batteries-included" approach, so I'm not criticizing the choice, just wondering if there was a back story, if it got evaluated at all. Same for locale.py vs. PyBabel. The template engine seems far better than Django's at least : )
Today marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the Quake shareware.

One question: form rendering, validation and handling are the most important as well as the most annoying things you have to do while writing a web application. Do you plan to incorporate something for that into the framework?
Import OST Files
A lot of client face problem with OST file! How to open OST file? Import OST Files tool one of the best solution to open OST file with all component like email, journal, note, to do list, contact, attachments etc.
I'm not an expert, but don't you have the timeline wrong? E.g. Luby's "LT codes" is from 2002, well after Quake's 1996 launch date.

Honestly, though, I think the Quake guys were going for - and achieved - "good enough".

(Also, coding obviously doesn't work for client -> server communication, since the server has to keep going even if packets are lost.)

Innovation would cease to exist if all we did was figure out how/why NOT to do something. Most have not had the pleasure of experiencing the thrill of this technology before commenting. Tesla's real issue is that Musk is really only interested in developing, selling his technology and driving their stock price up so he can get out of the car biz. NOT saving the world, one car at a time. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I suppose that you would have stood up for slave owners back when that was legal? IP is an oxymoron and the law is wrong.

GameSalad Now Supports HTML5 On Game Creation Platform
You probably can get lost in choosing and implementing the optimal algorithm in every aspect of the game. Sometimes you just have to go with the sub-optimal to get it out of the door.
This answer is exactly the reason I asked what does it mean.
Serious question: why keeping polar bear alive makes planet sustainable? Who kept dinosaurs alive? Or any other species which went extinct before we even were there? I think we vastly overestimate our influence on the earth (just compare total mass of humans to that of bacteria, not to mention plants) and our responsibility for it.

If human brings some alien seeds and the new plant starts to dominate the "locals" we see that human as criminal. Would winter or water do the same it's natural then.
We are not the children of nature. We are the part of nature, and the small one. Sure, we have an ability to reflect on our actions and inflict disproportional changes to environment, but still.

Just for some context. Fukushima nuclear disaster: nobody killed, 39 injured.
Japan earthquake and tsunami: more than 15 000 killed, more than 5000 injured, more than 7000 missing. The sentiment is still "get rid of nuclear, save the planet". Who is killing whom? Indian Ocean tsunami? Haiti earthquake?

George got it right: no matter what we do planet is here to stay, it is not going anywhere. We cannot in any way affect the sustainability of it. Only of our own lives.
You can probably hack the extension to support FF5. There haven't been too many changes that should affect this.

And hence the stupidity in adopting Chrome-style meaningless major version-numbers when what is released is only a minor update. I know the IT industry is highly fashion-driven, but that doesn't mean following fashions doesn't have drawbacks.

This is Firefox 4.1 at best, but released as Firefox 5 with all the needless addon breaking headaches that will bring, just because Mozilla wanted to be more "fashionate". Great job guys. Great job.

I guess this another thing we can thank the Chrome team for.

The High Costs of Wrongful Convictions
Haven't the newer games had advances in this area?
The Nexus S is out already -- and its tech specs weren't nothing out of the ordinary IIRC. Plus (and this is the whole point) it's not a great phone if you don't intend to customize it. That is, unlike HTC Sense and whatever the Samsung equiv is, this is bare bare bones Android 2.3.

Honestly, the upcoming HTC Evo 3D looks smashing. At first I groaned. I mean... 3D?!?! WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!! And i still think the whole "record your own 3D HD videos" is absurd.

But the rest of the way it uses 3D, and the new HTC Sense (on top of 2.3) is just reallllly cool. And with 1.2ghz dual core, it's a beast.
I spent 3 months in Melbourne earlier this year. Compared to Australia, the US has cheaper goods, cheaper booze, and all the digital content you want. Unfortunately, there aren't any places in the USA with good public transport (by international standards) and non-ridiculous housing prices. You have to pick one or the other. I've lived in NYC, SF, Boston, Minneapolis and rural Minnesota. Melbourne was a more viable long term solution than any of those places, especially if one wants to live in an urban environment. Most Australians I know love the states, but all are happy they have the option of returning home.

That said, the internet in Australia was so slow and expensive I'm not sure censorship should be the primary worry.
Scientists Create First Memory Expansion for Brain
Now just give me this in full stereoscopic, hi-res, for my cellphone. With video.

Of course (hopefully), that's version 4 or 5. This initial roll-out is looking great! Can't wait to play around with one of the units in the local photo shop.

Looking at the demos, I wonder what the depth-of-field is? Is it entirely calculable, or is it just a few feet and then the user sets the target? It looks like it is tiny, but I'm guessing it's set that way to show off the cool features of the technology.
Asking "how people many have ever X or Y happen to them?" is downplaying the actual risk when obviously the risk has been increasing in the past year, half-year or so.

Yes, if you look at the risk of a US government raid on servers, domains, or what-have-you in the past 5-10 years, you can fairly compare it to a meteor strike or a "freak incident".
But things are changing, incidents and "collateral" are increasing, and if you look at just the past half year, you'll find it's gone from a meteor-strike level probability to a very small but definitely not dismissable chance.
RTFM. Technology advances, but the need to read the documentation governing its use will never go away.

Understanding Trust Audit Methodology
I agree Luby's codes came after Quake. Although other codes for the erasure channel did exist, and the important ideas for the class of scheme I'm talking about were known. That wasn't meant to be my point though. I was just thinking about the puzzle, rather than what "should" have been done.

I don't follow the final parenthetical comment: the point of the coding is precisely so that the server can recover all information regardless of packet loss so that it can keep going. If a client disappears then the server acts as if it disappeared at the last successfully decoded delta (it has to have a means to deal with clients disappearing regardless).

I got the hero speech too, once. If anyone ever mentions the word "heroic" again and there isn't a burning building involved, I will start looking for new employment immediately. It seems that in our industry it is universally a code word for "We're about to exploit you because the project is understaffed and under budgeted for time and that is exactly as we planned it so you'd better cowboy up."

Maybe it is different if you're writing Quake, but I guarantee you the 43rd best selling game that year also had programmers "encouraged onwards" by tales of the glory that awaited after the death march.
Thanks for this - it has just worked as a good start point for me. As a grumpy person who doesn't like searching for libraries, these "low barrier to entry" and "meta-library" ideas make me less grumpy.
