> 'tis the voters' fault, though, isn't it? The quants didn't ask for the system to be the way it is.

Not the voters. Voting can't fix anything because politicians can't be held to their campaign promises.

But it is the citizens' fault in that we don't do something about the existing laws that cover this malfeasance that aren't being used to stop it, or more importantly, about how voting doesn't work.

> If anything, they, by exploiting this flaw, act to expose it, making it more visible and more likely to be fixed.

That line of reasoning is only valid if those same quants would accept me emptying out their bank accounts by exploiting some bank vulnerability. (Such as your birthday and mother's maiden name always being used as the master identity check.)

> the government would be -forced- to give up on its newfound policy of Too Big to Fail.

Reality based government. Sigh. That would be nice. I thought they always had that policy where banks were concerned though?

> Imagine if more grad students did this.

If they were trying to bring it down, like exploiting a security flaw to get it fixed, it would only take one.

> academics posess a level of freedom on par with the super-rich; if some University wants you to immigrate to a country in order to do research, you're waived right in.

Good point, freedom and a license for eccentricity in one package. Very helpful in a world quickly stuffing air-travelers into terrorist/not-terrorist boxes based on your sense of humor inside the airport, etc.

> A PhD carries the sort of international mobility that's I think is kind of useful having been born in a sinking ship.

Makes me think of the Titanic, too big to sink!

This implementation is broken. It concatenates a hash of the plaintext to a CTR-mode ciphertext. That's weakly authenticated and leaks information about the plaintext.

It would be better to HMAC the ciphertext with a second key value.
Edge: Have a Competitive Advantage or Don’t Compete
Microsoft already purchased foldershare for syncing and completely destroyed it. I haven't used dropbox, but foldershare was pretty simple folder synchronization across computers, I'd think extending that to the cloud would have been pretty simple.

At the same time, WP7 has some good sync technology already built in, and is extending it in the Mango update.

I don't see a DropBox acquisition doing much benefit for Microsoft, and I think it would probably be detrimental to DropBox and their users.

At the same time, I suspect that basic synchronization will be a commodity in the next 5 years, so DropBox may need to find an area they can specialize in.
If you go into to the ISA for hardware assisted virtualization, they just drop all semblance of compatibility. The memory models just work completely differently. When you're writing a VMM you'll need to write two separate submodules -- one for Intel and one for AMD.

I wrote the Intel and part of the AMD for an HPC VMM. I also wrote the Intel emulation code for an unmerged QEMU patch.

Is this lack of standardization a big deal? I don't know. Kind of. Software developers generally don't have to deal with this kind of stuff and, to be honest, wouldn't know what to do if they had to. I think the major problem seems to be that compilers are a lot shittier than they should be. I'm not really surprised though because I'd love to do compiler development but that's just not a practical career choice. No one gets paid to do compiler development, so compilers suck. Is anyone surprised?

Though I do sometimes use these services, since a few years I block these spiders on my own sites and those of clients.

Often this would happen: Client or user finds an image through Google Image Search on another blog or website, with unclear copyright. Then the client or user would upload this to the server. Then the client, or me, would receive a letter from a (GettyImages) lawyer: If we would please pay for the full licensing right of that 160x160 pixel image.

Thinking about it, I find accommodating to these services can lead to nothing but trouble: Either legal trouble, or hit-and-run users stealing your images, because you paid for higher resolution.

I hope I can separately block this Google service from Google Image Search. Although Google Image Search isn't as good to webmasters as it used to be (especially for those that rely on advertisement clicks) and the users it can send can be negligible: Ranking higher in Google Image Search seems to correlate to ranking higher in Google Web Search.

If it is part and parcel of Google Image Search, I might reconsider my robots.txt directive for Googlebot-Image. They just now opened this up for the public, but it is likely they are already using this internally to gauge (media) quality factors on-page.

P.S.: It would be interesting to see what happens when Google doesn't partner up with GettyImages or iStockPhoto, like in the early days of TinEye you could abuse that service to find the same stock images without watermarks, on the sites of people that already paid for that image.

P.P.S.: Now you can add RDFa or Microdata to mark up your images with a copyright statement, what would happen to sites that host copyrighted images, tagged "not for reproduction"? Google should be able to find the canonical image and "punish" those that don't comply with its copyright.
First. Using HAML in your project involves all of adding the line "gem 'haml'" to your gemfile. It's not a big deal.

Second. You just glanced over the possibility that DHH doesn't like HAML for a rational reason, like for instance maybe he doesn't think HAML is that big an improvement over HTML and therefore not worth being a default setting. It's not an irrational dislike that has nothing to do with the qualities of the library itself.

I think you underestimate DHH as well as the rest of the Rails core group.

The problem is not necessarily because Color didn't get traction. Entrepreneurs have a great deal of patience and will try different things. My reading is that there is some kind of disagreement over direction (either with the other founder or investors), and Peter decided he had already made enough F* money from his previous venture he's going to walk.
http://www.research.ibm.com/people/d/dfb/papers/Bacon03Pure....
Later in the MetaFilter comments, Erik posted a link to video+slides of a session he co-presented at MIX 10. This session had technical content about the architecture of some of MySpace's stack:

http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX10/EX04
"[...] the strange way India’s mobile spectrum was auctioned off in 2008. A last-minute rule change in the auction declared that licenses would be granted on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone with completed paperwork and $355 million in cash. [...] a haphazard process that netted only $2.7 billion in licensing fees and may have left $39 billion on the table, according to outside auditors."

This is billed by the FastCompany article as corruption, and is apparently being investigated as such, but it's not necessarily the case that the country would have been better off if the government had collected that extra $39 billion. A proper auction will end up selling spectrum to those rentiers who expect to get the most profits from the spectrum out of the public, and (likely) can convince banks etc. to borrow enough to buy it. That in turn will set a cost floor, and winners of the auction aren't able to reduce prices below the cost of the capital. But by selling the spectrum cheaply, telecommunication benefits have potential to be spread more widely, because the cost floor is lower.

IMAP is an unencrypted protocol (as well as SMTP and POP3) in the same regard that HTTP is not HTTP + SSL. All three mail protocols can be wrapped nicely inside SSL/TLS, but it is only point to point encryption.

This is true, but most major providers only offer IMAP over SSL IIRC.

If I connect to my SMTP server over TLS and send you a message to your server, I cannot guarantee that your SMTP server is listening on the secure ports, let alone serving IMAP or POP3 over SSL to your client, which can be intercepted. Never mind the fact that 45%+ of all mail servers are storing these messages in plain text in /var/mail/

True but once again I think all the major email providers use SMTP over SSL.
Interesting paper, but not a smart approach. Well, a very ...uhm American approach to the problem. Unilateral.

Better would be to think about an internationally accepted (within the UN framework) mechanism to deal with these attacks. Define what is permissible and what is "over the line". Then define required actions and accepted sanctions when an attack occures.

Governments will always blame it on some "hackers". But a mechanism could define how a government MUST procede when a grave attack is carried out from within its territory. Maybe it MUST accept that law enforcement of the target nation has the right to check equipment used in the offending nation.

Overall, such an international mechanism should be set up to make it more difficult to sneakily carry our those attacks and hide behind some "hackers" accusation.

However, I doubt that the US would be willing to submit to such a mechanism. Because I believe they would be sitting more often on the offending site than on the target site. Until now, the US has not even submitted to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and similar important mechanisms to stop and procecute attrocities against humanity committed during war. The US knows very well why they don't submit to such a court, of course. Same would most likely be the case for any international mechanism against government cyber crimes.

I don't see Android anywhere on there, but it's acknowledged that Android's massive numbers are due in part to chinese manufacturers like Huawei and ZTC and Android-derived OSs (OMS, Tapas: http://www.asymco.com/2011/02/01/google-as-android-vendor/ )

This seems very un-Valley-like from my understanding.

What would the VCs and Angels benefit from the new laws? if anything, I suspect many would be against the new law as they have already invested in Square and other similar ventures (there is a SimpleBank or something like that).

Also, if this is a California law and Aaron (poster on Quora) is so dedicated to his idea, why not move the company elsewhere? If so many people move to the valley to pursue their ideas, this could be a strange example of the need to move elsewhere to pursue his.

The whole 'furious with Silicon Valley' just doesn't make sense to me. Furious with California State Legislature, sure. If he's angry at the Valley because he didn't get an investment and the reason was these new laws, I don't know that his anger is aimed at the right people.

Hopefully he moves the company somewhere that he can operate and shows everybody who he feels has scorned him the mistake they made.

It's irrelevant where your company is headquartered. Without a license, you cannot do business with any individual in California, period. Therefore, this affects many companies outside of California, not just mine.

One would expect politicians to make sometimes less-than-ideal decisions. One would not expect top-tier investors to ignore real innovation in favor of useless fluff. Nonetheless, that's what is happening in the Valley and it has been for years.

> There are builtin polytypic functions, but you can't define your own.

This sounds like a first-release issue: getting type systems right in a way that allows you to grow your language is hard.

> Gorountines are just a hack for storing a continuation in a closure in functional languages.

No, I don't think this is fair. Firstly, controlling access to continuations makes sense, since they can be a world of woe. Second, continuations alone don't give you any parallelism: that CPS helps you understand the goroutines does not mean that the semantics of goroutines can be understood purely in terms of continuations.

I think the scaling problem MySpace faced (and social sites in general face) was somewhat different than the sites you mention. Every page is dynamic, and requires real time updates. You could probably cache an amazon product page for a week. Also, the information on a page in a social network in much less siloed than a product page on amazon, or an auction on ebay. You are pulling in user information from across your base. So it doesn't lend itself as easily to a basic shard and cache model.
You know MySpace lost when you see a "Connect with Facebook" button on its homepage.

I sympathize with you as much as anyone can who's not in your exact situation. The new law stinks, and unfortunately, a lot of finance-related startups aren't affected by it because they've already come up with workarounds for this kind of thing. (BankSimple, for example, just provides a software interface; funds are managed through a regular banking institution.)

However, I'd like to second the notion of taking your ball and going elsewhere, even if it means opening up some kind of satellite office. Why not another country? Chile, for example, has been getting lots of press lately for being startup friendly. They'd probably love to have your product down there. Yes, it's a smaller, more limited market, but so what? You'd have the opportunity to get in to an untapped market with a product that already works. You could keep pumping the product into the U.S. press in the meantime with an angle that editors will love to run because it'll sell copies faster than hotcakes: U.S. innovation is moving to other countries because of stifling laws. (Regardless of your opinion of that point of view, the fact is that it's one that sells magazines and other print publications right now.)

In all seriousness, in your situation, it's what I'd do. In Go parlance, right now you're trying to defend from a weak position. Give up that territory now, before you're any more invested in it, and focus on building a strong position elsewhere on the board, and then attacking from there.

And you could still continue U.S. operations on other products and projects. You, personally, wouldn't need to relocate. With your track record, you'd be a shoe-in for Startup Chile, which would mean you'd get access to a small amount of capital ($40k IIRC) and all kinds of help during their next application round.

As far as the Valley goes -- well, fuck 'em. The scene in the Valley is entirely self-interested; if its revenues aren't directly affected by something, it just doesn't care.

Getting pissed off at the situation, while certainly understandable, won't help you to think more clearly about it. Consider all your other options, even ones you would ordinarily dismiss.

You're assuming the companies who got the spectrum did something with it. From what I've heard, most of them just grabbed the spectrum and are sitting on it, to collect the $39 Billion that would otherwise have gone to the government. Imagine, a 1344% ROI!
