Thanks for the link! Still working on the "somehow". Yeah, the irony is also that I build the Java application on a Mac.
Yes, I store the timezone (associated with the user) along with the local time. All date operations in the application are done related to their timezone.

Storing it this way is preferable because it makes working with times across DST boundaries a non-existent problem. DST is a pain in the ass and you want to use whatever language / database facilities to exist to make this as smooth as possible -- storing local time (and setting the timezone appropriately) makes it not your problem. Also users frequently set their own timezone incorrectly, and when they fix their timezone, they don't want all their appointments to be at the wrong time.

Ah, indeed.

I think more than anything this illustrates the state of my brain after staring at code for well too long--the first thing that occurred to me was that this was spam or some sort of colossal conspiracy.

Alright then, time for bed.
I think having something like, oh that was on my instant queue or now it's gone. Or having a series you're watching be taken off in the middle is way worse. They could at least warn people about those.
Ok, but what doesn't work? It seems kind of reasonable to use such analogies. Most people would understand how transactions work between themselves and others, just from experience, but view of us here were in government, in position to borrows, spend and repay back from another government.

It seems that basic things like "you need to pay back money we lent you" are still the same? Sure details are different, well, I don't know how different, that is why I am asking ...

Most useful calendar apps these days allow you to share events, or invite others to an event. What happens when you invite someone who lives in another timezone? There's no good way to handle this that doesn't involve taking timezones into consideration.

Storing local time is preferable because it makes working with times across DST boundaries a non-existent problem and because users frequently set their own timezone incorrectly.

I've done previous projects where I've stored UTC dates or unix timestamps for this situation and it was a hassle to deal with. You really need to consider the nature of the data -- for straight forward timestamps (like the date of a post) UTC makes the most sense. For user-entered dates, I think local time is much more appropriate and a lot simpler.
I saw the ad and assumed it would be the video chat thing.
Yes, very true. Doesn't work very well for events where people are attending from multiple time zones. I was thinking more of events that I attend in person.

But I'll use the paper diary example again - if I was in Mombassa and was due to have a phone conference at 10am Montreal time, I would write "6pm - Phone conference" in my diary (assuming that is indeed the correct local time).

And in your example, yes, it would be easier for me if I could tell my calendar that it is "10am, montreal time, please adjust that to mombassa time". So I guess my ideal solution would be a calendar app that works the way I described unless I specifically override it.

Anyway, I think this proves the point that time is hard.
Not really surprising. Rehabilitation and re-socialization are common for treatment of other criminals in Europe too. It makes much more sense than "getting revenge" by locking people up to "punish them", especially if the crime they committed is largely victim-less (in case of drug abuse its the offender who is actually the victim at the same time).

I think that's pretty hard to do in these post-concord days?

Though if you lived close to a time zone border it could be a problem. There are towns straddling the Queensland-New South Wales border in Australia. There is a one hour time difference between the states for half of the year (NSW does daylight saving, QLD does not). I've always wondered how local businesses deal with that.
This seems fairly exploitable.

What makes a successful coworking space tick?
Fails to mention the distinction between Zulu and Solar time. All the times mentioned are based on cesium atomic clocks. Satellite and military applications are often instead based on when the Sun is exactly opposite the Greenwich Meridian, re-synced daily.
About the gender imbalance, it's easy - dowry is still very prevalent in India and other parts of Asia. Which is what skews the numbers in favor of men (people abort female babies on a regular basis to avoid paying dowry when they grow up). When people realize there aren't that many females to go around, the dowry concept will reverse, it will be men paying to get married. Then the economic incentives will reverse, and the ratios will balance. That's how the market solves it. Hopefully by then rising prosperity and gender equality will eliminate this practice before the scales tip the other way again.
How can I make Ruby on Rails use unix timestamps instead of MySQL DATETIMEs?
They don't. When I created a fitbit account, I chose whether or not I wanted my profile public. Then, when I want to log an activity, I enter in a name and duration for it.

So if I choose to have a public profile, accessible to the world (which was clear to me when I signed up), then I choose to make an activity called "sexual activity", it's indexable and publicly visible.

Because people working with timestamps like to write code that says things like:

// schedule another run for tomorrow
schedule_event(now() + 86400)

...which doesn't actually work when leap-seconds are involved (things start to drift by a second). If you specify that leap seconds get replayed, it works.
White space does wonders for readability.

That's a lesson a lot of us in mathematics have trouble learning. We have this tendency to try to maximize information density, viewing empty space as inefficient because there's "nothing" there, when in reality the space communicates separation and therefore actually does contain vital information.
Sure I can elaborate on my "[propping] up and sponsored by men" comment although you questioning that makes me feel like you didn't read the article. That was a consistent theme--people asserting that her attitude about women in business/tech/being under represented was a result of her having a lot of advantages (via men propping her up and sponsoring her) that most women don't have. And I don't know your mother but what I said is hardly BS. I'm sure both she and you know who I mean by "most women" I mean women who make up the vast majority of women in our western society. Women who have to choose between giving their all to their career and having children because unlike Sandberg they don't have nannies or a 50/50 relationship where they can expect their husband to co-parent. Women who aren't mentored by the best of the best and don't have parents who are PhD (dropouts) and Ophthalmologists. I'm not discounting anything she's done--she's remarkable and a brilliant person. But for her to act like other women aren't doing what she's doing because they aren't assertive enough or that the problem lies within their reaction to sexism--give me a break. In the article somebody counters her points on that by saying that Sandberg acts as if this is a meritocracy when it's not--that's spot on.

As for glass ceiling metaphor, why don't you ask Sandberg what she's referring to. I was just referencing what she said "She opposes all forms of affirmative action for women. “If you don’t believe there is a glass ceiling, there is no need,” she told me."

Oh and as for specifics about being propped up and sponsored by men I'd point to things like this "In January of 1991, Summers became the chief economist at the World Bank, and that spring he recruited Sandberg as a research assistant." I don't care how smart or good you are, without certain connections you're not going to get a research associateship at the world bank.

Use the TIMESTAMP datatype for those columns. Also see the comment by lysol (currently two above you) that indicates that the article is wrong about MySQL.
It's interesting that US grade school focuses on the Puritans/Pilgrims being persecuted for not being Catholic. I didn't realize they were religious fundamentalists to this extent (from wikipedia):

"They preached the belief that bicycles should be used for utilitarian purposes only and any pleasure derived from cycling was a sin".
> people will still remember Michael Jackson

People do and will remember Jackson because of the music with lasting value he left behind, not because they remember listening to that music 20 years ago.

Facebook will, wenn G+ eats its lunch in a year or two, leave nothing tangible, audible or visible behind. Facebook will be just a memory, and memories quickly fade. Do you remember browsing geocities or tripod sites? Exactly. Me neither.
This is a Google offering that only allows Facebook and Twitter sign-in. That's a bit odd; perhaps it exists for the purpose of getting people to opt their Facebook/Twitter info over to Google?

More evidence for this theory: here's what Prizes asks for via Facebook Connect:

…name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, and any other information I've shared with everyone… Prizes may access my data when I'm not using the application.

The requester dialog only identifies as 'Prizes', not as Google, which seems a bit shifty. The Prizes 'Privacy Policy' says...

We'll treat any such information [from the Social Network Service] under this policy as if you'd given it directly to us.

It also links to the main Google privacy policy, which says (in far more words) that Google can use any info you give them to improve any of their services.

How does my comment significantly downplay "the extent to which it was her own hard work and good work attitude that got her to where she is now?" All I said was that it is unnerving to see somebody who hasn't really had a chance to run in to the glass ceiling say it doesn't exist? She got to side step a lot of the sexism and discrimination other women face because of her sponsorship by powerful respected men. She was sponsored because she was/is exceptional. It doesn't change the fact that she was sponsored and got to side step certain aspects of the more traditional corporate experience many women go through.

Sad to hear you think you lack the qualities that make her worth sponsoring but that isn't really relevant to this discussion.
I read that Djokovic chalks up his awesome winning streak to a change in diet, particularly a no-wheat diet (I think he said he was allergic).

But more to the point, I don't necessarily think that making small improvements in my "game" are going to make much of a difference because I know that I'm nowhere near the top of my game, in any aspect of life. I'll strive to be better at any rate.

But the real question for me is what to concentrate on? Do I improve my current skills and get even better at it, or do I spend my time going over weak areas, to bring up my "average" of knowledge? The answer is it depends on whether I want to be generalist or an expert at a few things. Figuring that out is half the battle.

Edit: to tie it back to the tennis analogy, it's probably better to improve ALL aspects of one's game, like Nole, than to be a specialist like Roddick (great serve, but not much else)

D'oh! I misfired typing. Thanks for the correction.
> Is there any way to make the browser do an Accept: application/csv header on a hyperlink?

Sadly no. Browsers suck ungodly amounts of dicks in their handling (or absence thereof) of the Accept header. I don't know of any web browser with an even remotely useful behavior on that one.
The analysis seems lacking to me, and a little scattered.

I really like google+: I prefer it to twitter and linkedin, and will use it as a replacement for them. In my opinion, it's not really a facebook killer, though; as pointed out here in the comments and elsewhere around the internet:

1) Bootstrapping a very large social graph is hard. Facebook knows this and is urgently trying to keep Google's mitts off their own graph.

2) The UI design decisions make a world of difference in usage. Facebook just isn't going to be used like Google+; it does not truly conceive of, or wish to be, a multi-persona system. Zuckerberg doesn't believe in such a thing, and neither do his top executives. They frequently push the idea of an integrated work/personal life in speeches and interviews.

Facebook's design and usability (and privacy settings) exemplify this approach; they will appeal to plenty of people, perhaps even most.

It takes more brain cells and more effort to keep social interactions segmented.

The tool appeals to smart online people who wish to maintain multiple personas on-line; personal and work. Bloggers, and 'personalities' will find it most compelling, and anecdotally, that's who I'm seeing most in my stream (and finding it far easier to interact with them thn on their blogs/on twitter, incidentally).

It will find a great niche doing that; hopefully it will be a giant niche! I don't think it will replace facebook, or be anywhere near the 50% mark in users or engagement. It's too brainy a product, made by (great) engineers and designers, while facebook is still a party.

Generally the fraternity houses throw better parties, engineers make better cars. This is roughly the same in my opinion.
Google Chrome Configuration and Analytics URLs
Incidentally, claiming Buzz didn't make it because Google pulled the plug is absolutely missing the point; Buzz was brutally confusing, had incoherent privacy and sharing mechanics, and had no separate interface, it mostly coexisted with gmail (if I recall correctly).

It was terrible; really. That's why it got pulled, and that's why it didn't get any traction.
About a month ago, Google started showing me info here and there referring to people I follow on Twitter. I didn't understand at the time and still don't know how they matched up my Google account to my Twitter account.

The Facebook request details you're quoting are not unusual.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest I am not sure about the exact amounts that went to weapons(, nor "Siemens", nor the companies participating in the "Olympic miracle") but I am sure, like you say that they only account for only one part of the debt.
I also do not have the slightest intend to justify or excuse us one bit, we get what we deserve. At the very end, people are responsible for what their governments do, if they are not, they do not deserve to be called citizens and nobody will ever treat them as such.
On the other hand, I see debt used as a way to extort resources all around the world, and they look strikingly similar. Look what happened in Brazil, in Argentine, in Hungary, in Turkey, in Indonesia...
For sure there are reckless governments, but I believe there are institutions that capitalize on their recklessness.

Is there even the wildest possibility that the entire emphasis of using Fb and Twitter as primary sign up options was intentional especially to get social graphs which might not be easily possible directly via G+?

I know it sounds far fetched, but we are talking about the gateway to the world of social graph that Facebook is highly unlikely to share especially if it was under the direct banner of Google.
I don't think that's the best example - I think if any app would have been sure to sell on Android, it would be Angry Birds. My belief is that Rovio did that to experiment with different types of revenue for mobile games, because they could afford to.
