- 4channers have been sitting around DDOSing and defacing websites recreationally for years. The only difference here is that the websites are big organizations instead of some poor dude's message board or personal site, and that might seem like a big difference to you, but I don't think it seems like a big difference to the folks involved.

- I don't know what the mystery is here about "who or what Lulzsec is" or about "Anonymous is everyone." It's a bunch of teenagers on IRC, not a shadowy order of the shadows. It's pretty much the same guys every time, with people popping in and out.

- What does this have to do with Wikileaks, even tangentially? The fact that it's on a computer and the government doesn't like it?

- It's surprising that LulzSec has "connections" with Anonymous? The name of their group is "LulzSec" and their Twitter mascot is the 4chan monocle guy! Where did you think they came from, thin air?

This whole thing looks so completely ordinary to me that I don't see any reason to postulate foul play.

The right response to that increasingly common problem, over-exposing yourself by lending a computer/phone, is to have a restricted "not the owner" mode. Crippling the owner's interface/abilities all the time instead of properly dealing with the truth that phones are not purely single-user devices is a strange denial of reality.
Many still do. I've been using SRWare Iron and as my primary browser - it's Chromium with the privacy-compromising features removed - in part because I'm very uneasy about software being modified by stealth on my system.

In this era when the unfortunate trend in UI design is to make interfaces easier by making them less functional and less customizable, I also especially want a good look at redesigned major-version updates before I install them
This is a good start, but it needs some significant additional features. If it's gonna work in jQuery, it needs more control, specifically JS control. It would be nice to do anything I can do from the buttons from JS, and possibly more. Also playlist support would be nice.

I'll give you a scenario, if I have this autoplaying on a website, and I have an embeded Vimeo video, I'm gonna want to automatically stop the music when a user starts playing the video.
Will it be in English or French? And will it be under 21 friendly? I'll be visiting Paris at that time (I'm living in Madison, Wisconsin), and would love to stop by.
I was hoping someone would do this (before I had to ;) - a previous thread about "working in Europe" drew out a large number of us HNers in Paris so I can't wait.

There was only a couple of meetups when I got here a year ago, but now it seems like the "scene" is exploding - every other week there is a new meetup: and ones like ParisJS are really thriving. Good news!
Thanks!

It's kind of ridiculous that I have to dig through a Japanese-language-only website to find a Beta software to simply control the fact that my computer moos like a cow with intestinal distress every time it boots up.
Stream parser with Ruby and Ragel (CORRECTED)
My theory is that tablets are "luxury" in the sense that if you already own a smartphone or laptop/netbook then you've already covered those bases to some degree. A tablet might do certain things better, but maybe not enough better for you to buy one at a given price.

Just like you might find it hard to justify a point'n'shoot camera, an iPod, or a Nintendo DS if you already have an iPhone that can already do those things, even if not quite as well.

However, if the price drops even further, then it can become something to buy and leave lying around the house for occasional use, or to try out on a whim.

I'm not sure there's a big market for high-end tablets, just as I think high-end point'n'shoots, iPods, and portable games machines might face a shrinking market in future.
I'm impressed. A quickdraw holster for cameras, gunslinger => filmslinger.
Or argue that the Scala language provides more information to the static compiler allowing it to produce better byte code. Has anyone done that analysis?
Better than normal update experience that's still nowhere near Chrome. The Tree Style Tabs extension still works after the update...

Chrome is absolutely unusable for the amount of windows I have open at a time and Firefox doesn't crash on me as much as it used to in order to warrant having every page take up a separate process.

There are no ideals, and it's not a conspiracy.

That's the impression I have of a lot of contemporary political and business interests: "There are no ideals, and it's not a conspiracy. It's just business." Some do it for the lulz. Some do it for the bottom line.

LulzSec's tactics may be callous or juvenile, but they also somehow see a fitting expression for some of the inchoate disenchantment that I feel. When I pause to consider that I'm doing pretty well, all things considered, I can imagine the deeper chord they strike with others.

The unmentioned big issue with truecrypt is that encryption messes up dropbox's ability to do just do diffs, so syncing is noticeably slower. I'm fine with that though, because the (important) data I keep there is only updated 1 or 2 times/year.

In general it is always wise to not waste too much time interpreting version numbers, as they often fail to reflect the pace of development that is actually happening. The Linux Kernel has been around forever, but only recently got bumped to 3.0rc1; Chrome on the other hand is already stable at 12.x.
Right, but you should have been assuming all along that your Dropbox files could be made public given that they are not locally encrypted. The recent security breach just drives home this point.

My point is that we need something like Dropbox but with local encryption. Putting a TrueCrypt volume on Dropbox isn't a practical solution, IMHO.
If HTTP is no longer relevant, what alternative do you suggest we build the web on?
Have you tried enabling side tabs in Chrome? Works wonders for me.
Same "Over Quota" error.
Thanks! That is a great move, only the latest and greatest version around.

Yeah, the redirect works, but when I get to zuppy.com I see that error.
I'm not saying it's no longer relevant. I'm saying HTTP has become like other lower-level transport layers like TCP or Ethernet and that we should no longer build apps in an HTTP-centric way

I really wonder why Nokia didn't give the N9 a chance in the market before switching focus to Windows Phone 7. It seems that with good marketing and developer support, it could at least have had a chance. Now, seems like few people would buy an N9 over an iPhone, Android, or WP7 from another manufacturer...
This is more along the lines of what I was thinking.

I'd normally call, get as close to the decision maker as is possible (not always easy in big companies), tell them you're sorry that you weren't up to snuff, then LISTEN.

It's amazing what comes out of these conversations: Your product might be slow, missing a feature, their general counsel might have had reservations your startup, your account management might suck, the decision maker might play golf with the CEO of the other company etc. etc.

Your guess that your users are choosing our competitors because they have better features and more customization options is correct in only one of these cases. You're doing a startup: You don't have time to fix problems your customers don't have. So ask.
I can vouch for this. I recently started doing pomodoro and it has changed my work life completely. I usually find I can get done in 5-6 hours what used to take me 9+. Then I can take off the rest of the day, read HN, play around with other tech or just relax.

Something he didn't mention is having your activity list(stuff you need to do) which you use to make your todo list of items that you think you can finish for the day. From this list you pick the most important item and start working on just that. I was surprised at the razor-like focus you gain from this by just getting that one thing done.

Often, you'll come across other tasks that need finishing while working. Instead of distracting you, you just put them on your activity list for later and keep going.

Another nice thing about this technique that you really should practice is keeping records on the the amount of pomodoros you do each day, the distractions(external or internal) etc. These are then used to gather metrics you can use to analyse and optimise problem areas in your productivity.

Because that consumer has a different set of motives than you do.

Every piece of technology you own has limitations, you simply decided that that particular trade-off was worth it in that case. Would your mom care that the police can turn off her camera?

I love Tree-Style Tabs, so had to try this out.

For anyone else who had trouble tracking down modern instructions for this:

* Go to about:flags
* Enable Side tabs (first option)
* Restart Chrome
* Right-click on a tab and chose "Use side tabs"

Not a treeview of collapsible tabs, but muchmuchmuch better than normal tab view in Chrome. Thanks for mentioning that they had this.

For another stark example, compare them to the damage done by properly-operating coal plants every year. Mining coal, just mining it, directly kills more people every year (on the order of 10k) than Chernobyl will. Then there are the various mining-related lung diseases. Then there are the 10–20k (in the US alone, depending on which estimate you believe) deaths/year from the pollution.

It's called an iPod Touch, which costs $229 unsubsidized.

Is there actually some magic market Apple is missing between the $99 iPhone 3GS and the bottom of the line Android handsets? Maybe, but they don't seem particularly enthused about targeting the free-with-contract market.

Maybe this is a different story outside of the U.S. where phones are often purchased unsubsidized. While Apple is making money hand over fist, however, they might not see the need to scramble for that low end of the market.

Why?

My email contains far more sensitive information than Dropbox holds. I still let Google see my unencrypted emails without bitching.

I can't comprehend why people who are less than 1% of dropbox users think the service should change to be something it isn't for a feature they don't get or demand elsewhere.
Are you on windows or osx? Would love to know how to get side tabs working on OSX.
Agreed, I've found it indispensable in my workflow. Handles spaces very well too, and works well with Parallels windows in Coherence mode. Plus the developer has been very responsive when I've brought up issues in earlier versions.

There anti-piracy is more bark than anything. They basically wrote a law with little understanding of its implementation and are trying to push the cost of doing it onto the ISPs who scoffed at the idea (well Free, AFAIK).

Basically they want you to download and install some software on your PC to monitor you for piracy, to prove you're innocent. If you don't install it? You have to prove your innocent without the big brother software. Also, its Windows only. Mac, Unix, Linux are on their own.
A sizeable chunk of people on the team are developing Linux because of the build/link speed advantages. Some of us stick it out with Windows because we either like the UI better or because that's where most of our users are right now :-) I use Windows because I like the MSVS IDE the most, but only because for me it's the best of the worst. I really feel like we're pushing the envelope of how large a solution can be developed in it - with hundreds of vcprojs it takes a long time to load and de-jank itself. I wish Microsoft would use it themselves for things like Windows or Office, I would imagine it'd improve a lot if they ate their own dogfood.

Turnaround? Their revenue in 2000 was 23 billion and in 2010 it was 62 billion. They doubled their earnings over the decade. The commonly penned idea in the press that MSFT sucks and Ballmer needs to be ousted is horse crap.

Wow, never encountered this problem. How many tabs in how many browser instances did you have?
True, and from what I understand that's more the case in the US where the 'Abstinence Only' type model is more common (compared to Australia). Given the choice between sex and cancer, I know which one I'd prefer my child to be hiding from me - I'd also much prefer they understood safe sex, as opposed to an all or nothing approach.
OK, before I go get this, I have just one simple question: Is it as fast as Opera 11.11? I just got done bitching about how slow FF4 is on my crap PC, while Opera 11.11 is like absolute lightning on it. Why can't Firefox be that fast if Opera can?!
Those types of people also believe that it's elephants all the way down. Four and a half parameters?
I think there are just more users these days that are more vocal about wanting stuff done in the background. I'm in your camp, though -- I don't want stuff happening behind the curtain. At best, I would like an option to turn that off. I imagine a lot of web devs would be upset if their browser suddenly updated to the latest version without keeping the old one somewhere...
If you steal bearer bonds, then sell them, they will still be returned in most parts of the US if you can prove the theft.

I think people overestimate the value of flow. You need to step out of that state regularly to put on your big-picture hat and access the work you have been doing. Pomodoro is not just about being productive, but being productive at the right thing.
If I update, I'm going to have to manually edit the few extensions I actually run Firefox for to increase their "max supported version" string to 5.x. That's one downside I can see with this new release system.
I agree with your edit, and I tried to correct for it.

Don't confuse correlation with causation. I think de Soto makes it clear that it wasn't the banks per se that caused friction back in the old days, but rather the lack of comprehensive, accurate, and accessible records.

A bitcoin is little different than a piece of metal with regards to that. Of courts could do something strange (they often go OH MY COMPUTERS and shake their hands for a few years), but it is clearly a piece of intangible property.
Exactly.

Or decide how to balance the risk-benefit equation. Perhaps this will inform my choices of which things to keep in my dropbox and which to keep elsewhere. For example, I might decide that my secrets are fine there, but it is inappropriate to store client secrets in Dropbox since the client has certain expectations around my respect for their privacy.
