Yes, the exact error message I get is this: "It looks like your domain administrator has disabled access to Google Profiles for your organization. If you think this is a mistake, you can get in touch with your admin. (And if you need help convincing them, try giving them a box of chocolates.)".

And to be honest, when I got to that link, I actually thought I may be able to activate it. But then I realized that the error message itself is the subject of this submission.
So you're against us still having people like Einstein around? I think it's been demonstrated pretty clearly that breeding habits follow the environment. If we were all suddenly thrust into a world where we all live to be a thousand years old you think people would still be having kids at the same pace?

I think a lot of people wouldn't have kids at all. After all, having kids is our only means of achieving "immortality" at the moment. That's no longer needed if we can just live forever ourselves.
Their loans get more expensive, and everyone who loaned to them has to write off the loans, or extend them a lot. Greece's loans are currently 1 year, if I understood correctly the plan for their default is to turn them into 30 year loans, like South America did ~25 years ago.

Also, like Greece is now, the country has to have massive public service cuts, and tax hikes. Have the republicans been asked about the possibility of this?
> Why does government debt equal private assets?

Not that I fully agree with his assertion, but: Gov't debt usually takes form of `bonds'. Such bonds are issued for fixed terms and traded on free market. Both private and institutional investors (including other countries) invest in bonds, thus some of gov't debt will normally be in hands of private investors.

Government bonds are considered highly secure and reliable means of investment, if somewhat low-yield. That allows the issuing country to rely on bonds for matching income to expenditures any time it needs to, at rather low cost. Should a country declare bankruptcy, or just near it, this instrument is much harder to use for the govt.

Consider having a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ascent_of_money which covers the topic pretty well.
It depends on many things including the size of the debt and to whom. In the least, it will damage the reputation of the country, make it harder to borrow in the future, and hurt its relationships with other countries.

What happens when a company defaults on its debt? Its rating goes down, reputation is hurt, etc. Same deal, except it's more global with a country.
So that doesn't sound so bad.

Why are people freaking out on the US, Greece and Spain?

One suggestion: Decrypt the message automatically when the user opens the page. I think it's cumbersome to manually decrypt the message everytime.
Because the newer login system requires you to move away from having any easy to remember username (eg. someperson) that only needs to be unique on a particular Basecamp instance, to picking a harder to remember new username (eg. someperson5946) that needs to be unique everywhere.
Government debt is apparently a good thing, it encourages internal private (businesses of that country) growth. I can't find more about it, it is something worth understanding properly.
I can think of a bunch of ways:

1) Make it a one-side market. For example you could let guys set up profiles and then buy Facebook ads to advertise those specific guys ("Think Brad is cute? - He's single, click to find out more") to single girls in their areas with similar interest.

2) Leverage off of another userbase. Tastebuds.fm is a good example that leverages off Last.fm's userbase. If I wanted to take this approach I'd make a dating service for users of 23andme's genetic analysis service. Newspapers will literally fall over each other to write about a dating service that uses DNA to match couples.

3) Take the primary feature of your competitors and turn it into a weakness. Most dating websites focus on having x million members. Turn around a build an exclusive dating website ("fed up having to search through hundreds of profiles and getting most of your messages ignored?"). Only have 20-30 members of either gender at a time and only give them access for a limited period (say a couple of weeks). Have a wait-list for people who want to get on. People will want to signup even without knowing how many people of the other gender or on the system.

On machines where I have at least 4G of ram, I configure them to not use any swap space at all.

If a process needs (or pretends to need) that much memory, the swapping will just kill the performance, and the machine gets unresponsive. I rather have the OOM killer do its job, have a few processes dying and be able to continue using the machine.
I had been using a three-tier password system, consisting of three passwords of increasing difficulty, used for sites of increasing levels of importance.

Now I'm sitting here wondering what's next, as I can't remember all the sites I used that email/pwd combo on

For my banking password I have a base password that I always add something to for each site in a way that I can remember without having to write something down. The idea being that although it might be obvious to any human looking at the password what I've done it's far more likely that attackers will be automating checking passwords on different sites and the program will just see my password failing on all other sites and ignore it.

I think this post makes complete sense, and not sure why there is a fuss about the ellipses of all things.

However, I do think that the one email address is a better solution IF there is routing logic on the company end that gets the right emails to the right people and allows individual employees to have individual email conversations with customers from their single work account. I'm not imagining a shared company Gmail account -- I'm imagining a conversation between Victoria and Victor all intermediated through contact@example.com.
"In my opinion, the users should be educated about the very sophisticated permission system on Android instead. The user should learn to determine whether a permission should be required by an app"

That's just ridiculous.

[editing to expand...]

Software firewalls never took off on the windows platform because asking regular users about just one permission (should app X be able to contact the internet?) proved impractical.

Expecting end-users to be able to understand BROADCAST_STICKY ("Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents"), MANAGE_APP_TOKENS ("Allows an application to manage (create, destroy, Z-order) application tokens in the window manager"), and REORDER_TASKS ("Allows an application to change the Z-order of tasks") is pure fantasy.
The 1998 data protection act is about data relating to you - the data of your friends would not be covered (obviously it would be covered for them).

Even for that data, while the (British) law states that people must be able to claim the information stored about them, they have to submit a request, and the company is allowed to charge a small fee.

So, no, the data protection act isn't relevant.
You can't satisfy the HATEOAS constraint by simply returning URLs in the JSON response from your API. The structure of the data is still tightly coupled to your own application, and so must be any client that can make use of it.

It is essential that RESTful applications be able to evolve independently from the client. To allow this, they must use forms of hypermedia generic enough to serve as the engine for all present and future versions of the application. If the client has any code specific to your app, then your app is not RESTful in any scope beyond its own.

I'm not convinced that the whole resource vs action thing is all that important to REST. It's an ideal that has been largely ignored in practice and the web has been quite successful without it. Contrast this with HATEOAS which has been the unavoidable reality of the web since day one.

Data Protection wouldn't cover this. They're keeping the data securely, and you have personal access to it. Data Protection doesn't stipulate that you must be able to easily export your data to rival services, I'm afraid.

Yea, I agree. The problem we run into is that we need to run the identity of the package creator by the recipient so they can determine whether they want to open it or not. We're toying with the idea of remembering a preference about your "trusted senders" and the auto opening them. Do you think that would be a happy medium?
Yes, but you know, I have ~ 122 friends. And I invited like 40 of them to join Facebook.

Now, those 122 friends are fully aware that their public email addresses and phone numbers are available to me. Those that do not want this, should not publish their emails or phone numbers or should not befriend me.

What Facebook is doing here is to make it hard to export my list of friends to other places, like Google's contacts or my own phone's contacts list or Google+ or whatever. I have to go over each of those 122 acquaintances and copy/paste their data manually.

What they are doing is definitely not illegal, but on the other hand I dislike Facebook so much that I'm willing to switch to a competitor that already engages in anti-competitive behavior by means of their near-monopoly, but that knows how to treat my own data.

A Python company just outside the city, whose name escapes me right now, was doing very well with a web based excel.

Most/many hedge funds manage billions of dollars on the back of very complicated excel spreadsheets, mostly because
the "talent" understand excel and can bend it to their needs.

But auditing these things is an utter nightmare, which version was used to lose a million here or a million there. Is it still on bobs laptop? How can I reuse code?

By providing a excel like front end and a centralised, versionable, auditable back end, they got a lot of interest going.

The space is still very wide afaik, but I have been out of the City for some years now.

If I understand things correctly... On G+ the notification email tells you someone _wants_ to tag a photo of you (it can't be tagged without your consent). On Facebook it gets tagged, you get the notification and you have to go to Facebook to remove the tag. That is an important difference.

That's true of most countries, and it's much lower than it used to be, mid Cold War UK and US top tax rates were 85 and 90 just for income tax. Now top tax rate is 50, but then you have National Insurance (NHS) and so on. If you buy something pre-tax you can save over 60%.

It's not laziness, it's all about avoiding premature optimisations. Personally I write the bulk of my code on embedded systems where we are severly constrained both in sheer CPU performance, but also in the amount of memory available. Nevertheless, I still start off writing code in what you might call a "lazy" style, but which I tend to think of as "the simplest, clearest way to write code to do the job". I assume I'll have the memory and the performance that I need. Having written the code, if that assumption turns out to be false, only then do I go back and try to improve performance characteristics - adding caching, optimising algorithms to avoid doing unnecessary calculations, and so on. The code is inevitably longer, and less flexible, after this work which means that I have probably added in bugs during the process. And that is why I don't start off doing things that way, I'm trying to keep the LOC count (and hence the bug count) down as much as possible. Memory and performance optimisations are done only when the is a demonstrated need for them, and I feel that this is the correct way to approach optimisation.
Got it. Will give it a read, cheers

That's for top tax rate, though (over 100k, in Greece). I'm talking about the more average salaries, about 45k gross, which comes out to about 1700 EUR/mo net (after just income tax and insurance payments). Taxes on cigarettes, gas, etc are still absurdly high (something like 80% of the price of cigarettes is tax, if I remember correctly).
How to get affiliates to sell your products
Depressingly, this seems to be a bit of an Australian thing, as iiNet (and the various ISPs they've bought) are guilty of this too.
Not saying it doesn't happen, but at least here in the good 'ole USA, it's actually fairly difficult to cheat when you are in 1040EZ territory, at least not without being really, really obvious.

On the other hand, once you start getting on the high end of things, you have multiple sources of income, some real-estate, stocks, etc... you have to hire an expert, and even then, it's something of an iffy thing; Even if you are trying to be honest, an audit is to be feared. The tax law is so complex that they usually find errors no matter how hard you try to get it right.

So yeah, I think it's fair to to say that tax evasion is a rich man's crime.
What are your thoughts on Clojure? Do you use it?
First of all, "most likely" is false. Actual numbers can easily be found, here's a secondary source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Estimated_ownership_of_tre...

So less than one third is held by foreigners. This is more than for most other countries, but keep in mind that much of world trade is still run in US$ - this is what people (hopefully) mean when they say that it is a quasi-reserve currency, which naturally drives up demand for US$-denominated financial assets.

Second, the fact that so much of those assets are held by foreigners has greatly benefited US citizens up to this point in time, because the foreigners holding those assets obtained them by selling their products to the US. So the US was able to receive a lot of real, physical goods that cost actual physical resources and work to produce, in exchange for the US simply running a computer system on which accounts are managed. If you ask me, that is a very good deal.

Now, once China gets their act together and becomes able to change their economy into one that is not so export-heavy, they will sell of their assets over time. This will force the US to become a nation with net exports again.

But from the perspective of US citizens, the worst case is that the US enjoys more physical resources (than it would be able to without trade) now at the cost of enjoying less (than they would be able to without trade) in the future. And in fact, they cannot even be forced to take that full hit in the future, because they could always choose to inflate the debt away.

Now you may say that you would rather suffer a decrease in resources that you can enjoy now than suffering that decrease in the future. That is a reasonable political stance.

However, the reality is that especially China is hell-bent on sending real goods to the US in exchange for paper. Trying to cut the budget deficit or to reduce debt directly is not going to change that. In fact, it will hurt US citizens long before it will hurt China.

The only way to stop the flow of financial assets towards foreigners is via a combination of trade barriers and helping China to turn their economy into a domestic-consumption-based economy.

Either way, in general the justification for DRM is to reduce piracy, but it doesn't do a good job IMHO -- for instance, I can find DVD-quality pirated movies two weeks after it has been released in theaters, far faster than the availability of said movies on DVD or Blueray.

What would work better is to stop punishing honest customers and educate people about the need of the industry to have profits.

For instance I go out of my way to buy the music albums of my 3 favorite bands, just to keep them producing the music I like. And one of them has been in business since 1977, being able to survive for 3 decades, while dozens of others have died after 1 or 2 years, complaining about piracy (like the non-existence of piracy would make their music suck less).
