I work at a big tech MNC right now. We have apps that still require IE6. These are global apps. This company is also lauded for some amazing tech. Sometimes it's just difficult to allocate the necessary resources to update an app, and sometimes it's not worth it. In other cases, all the people who made the app just moved on and there's insufficient documentation to know how the app works. The code analysis process alone would be atrocious, and companies prefer to put pressure on revenue-generating initiatives, not maintenance initiatives, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And this is why all our computers still have IE6 installed.... @@ Fortunately, I've also got Chrome and Firefox on here because I have admin rights.

edit: Given how long mainframes have been around, is it really that much of a stretch to say that these kind of legacy web apps could still be around for a few years yet, if they're really integrated deep into an organization's processes?

Hey there. What I've done in the past is make a long list of words that could be applied to what your company does, how it does it, who it's designed for, etc. Grab a thesaurus and look up synonyms for words that are particularly applicable. Then, start combining different words and see what you come up with. Swap some vowels (a's for e's, o's for i's, etc.) and get creative. Eventually, you'll come up with a list of names that are at least partially relevant to what your company does and hopefully look and sound decent. You may want to search for words in other languages as well (Latin is a good one) for more variety. It takes a long time to come up with a great name that you and your team like, that is at the same time not trademarked and also has a domain available relatively cheap.

No matter how arbitrary a name sounds, it almost always has direct meaning for the company. Google was originally called 'Googol', which is a very large number (10 to the hundredth power) and was meant to convey how much information Google indexed. Twitter is perfect because it implies that the service is about short bursts of information (tweets) much like a bird chirping (would the name Chirpr sound as good? Naw). You also have to think about how the name sounds when it's spoken, and if people can easily remember how to spell it when they go to type it in the address bar of their browser.

Guy Kawasaki wrote a decent article about naming companies a few years ago which you can find here: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/02/the_name_game.html#axzz1... . I can't agree with all of the points but there's some good stuff in there. Whatever you do, don't compromise on a great name. If you're embarrassed to tell people what your company is called, that's not a place you want to be in. Take the time to do it right and you'll reap the rewards tenfold down the road. Best of luck to you.

You are making an assumption that his blade server wasn't covered by the warrant. It's much more likely that the warrant was quite broad and allowed for the FBI to take exactly what they did. This has proven to be the case throughout the years under similar circumstances. I'm more surprised they only took one enclosure.

I too like them. Careful though, I had been using an exercise ball for a chair for the better part of a year, just a couple weeks ago it popped while I was sitting on it.

A couple other caveats: 1)it can bit quite tiring on your back (especially at first) to sit on one for 8-10 hours. 2) since you're sitting on rubber, if it's the least bit warm, things tend to get a bit sweaty down there... :)

Android docs are pretty terrible anyway. Have fun finding out what a 'Looper' is for or how it even works without using stack overflow. Then be amazed and horrified.

And then there are gems like WiFiManager.getScanResults(), which according to the docs returns a List<ScanResult>. Except that it's actually implemented as

try { return [do native call]; } catch (RemoteException ex) { return null; }.

So actually it returns a list except sometimes it returns null, which I have seen happen and it caused my app to force-close. There's shit like this all over the place. No wonder so many apps crash on random devices.

So now any time I want to call a piece of the Android API I haven't worked with before I have to go find the source to make sure it's not doing something unexpected because I can't trust these Google monkeys to properly document their stuff. Sigh.
This isn't a fair comparison. The cultures of the United States and the PRC are quite different on many levels. Copyright law is one of many variables. Furthermore, there actually are some good mainland musical acts. I'd like a more detailed analysis of the volume of original content before I passed it off as worthless.
A single C7000 is 10U in height and can house 16 half height blades. If they are using full height blades it houses eight. A typical enclosure is 36U, 42U, or 45U so it's certainly plausible the enclosure that was seized housed multiple blade chassis and or storage chassis. In which case it's also completely plausible that the storage array for Instapaper was in a different enclosure but the storage array the FBI cared about was in the same enclosure as the blade chassis.

What would be odd is if the FBI pulled out only the blades they were interested in at the data center and left everything else intact. What's much more likely is they took the entire chassis as it is in working condition so they could do their analysis. If they missed something or their warrant didn't include additional enclosures or equipment then they'll probably be back with a second warrant to collect the enclosure with all the storage arrays.

It's still careless to take something that wasn't relevant to the investigation and thereby cause harm to citizens who aren't involved.
I am interested in this generally, and wasn't sure if it was appropriate to ask, but after reading the wikipedia page about her religious background, I think its ok, as Vera seems to be an observant Jew.
In her opinion, why are Jews so heavily involved with physics? And why does she think they are so successful in the field (something like 40% of physics nobels are given to someone with at lea one Jewish parent.
She has clearly given her own family a strong drive for academics (4 kids, 4 PhDs), I wanted to know if that was the same for other Jews in her space or some other reason.
Sorry I don't have a more technical question.

When launching Truemors, Guy Kawasaki registered 55 domains to "surround" truemors.com.

This represented 9% of his total budget.

(From Kawasaki's 2008 book Reality Check).
The author talks about conventions for C libraries in general. Among other things, it advocates not reinventing the wheel. Sound advice. Pretty much the entire reason we have libraries at all in the first place.

I'm still not seeing a reasoned explanation of why you should be forced to re-implement linked lists, hash tables, red-black trees, etc. It's great and all that your C code is simple enough to get by just using arrays, but some of use need a bit more. These elementary data-structures are hardly anything to be afraid of using in C, particularly when someone's already implemented them for you. What in the world could be the harm in pulling in some handy string buffer functions? It's not as though dynamic linking is a black art.

Furthermore, you completely disregard anyone who either 1) is unable to use something besides C, and 2) people who chose to use C because they enjoy it.

That's why you are language trolling.

Yeah, this is why I love Haskell's type system.

You'd be able to implement that as a Maybe [WifiResult], maybe Just a list of wifiresults or maybe Nothing, copying directly, but you'd probably want to have your datatype be Either String [WifiResult], either you get on the Left an error string or on the Right the list of wifiresults.

Windows actually doesn't.
Note: If it's a C corp you don't have to take salary (iirc only S corps have to declare at least one person taking salary) and you can keep money in the firm (LLCs and LPs aren't structured to do this well), so you don't need to take any money out that you don't need personally.

As a general rule, the less money you need to pay yourself, the better.

1) If you turned profit in the same year you made the investment, you can return almost the entire original investment to yourselves with no tax penalty, derisking your individual stakes

2) You can pay dividends which are taxed at a lower rate (you dont have to pay FICA)

3) You can institute a buyback (so that the company buys back outstanding shares at a higher valuation). This is a little sticky because you can't arbitrarily inflate the valuation (the technical term is "arms-length", meaning that it should be a fair value that disinterested parties could find acceptable). The transaction would be seen as capital gains, and you have the flexibility of controlling timing and amounts.

4) Almost everything you can think of is a business expense:

- Food (of course)

- Cars (oh god there are a ton of deductions related to business vehicles and vehicles used whilst commuting)

- Parties (You have to hold shareholder meetings at one point in time ...)

Though I imagine this is better discussed over email.
I'll ask her about it. I don't think she'd mind the question at all.
The only MacBook Pro it is at all fair to compare the Chromebook to is the $1200 one.
I have two.

The first is my own experience of being turned down for a part-time engineering role because the company didn't think it was safe or good for me to travel so much. From where i stayed at that time, it would have taken me roughly 90 minutes to get there and another 90 minutes to get back if i got the job. To be fair to them, I honestly felt they were concerned for my well being.

The second is from a previous company I worked for and I was asked to temporarily join a hiring team that were bringing in new recruits (mostly uni grads) to evaluate their technical abilities. There was a really young candidate whom I felt stood out but he had a quirkiness of pulling out a sesame street soft toy from his bag and stroking it every time he faced a "challenging" question. I had absolutely no issues with that but HR apparently felt that was too weird for them.
Next time I see her I'll ask.
ordinary dividends are taxed like income. the only difference is that you don't have to pay FICA (social security and medicare) on that money.

This year, self-employment social security is 4.2% + 6.2% = 10.4% up to wage base of 106800 and medicare is still 1.45% + 1.45% = 2.9% --> 13.3%

(the reason why there are two numbers for each part is that there is a portion the "employee" must pay and a portion the "employer" must pay. The Obama payroll holiday only extended to the employee portion.

You can download the paper from http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.61....

All this being said, I don't know if it's fair to compare the approach mentioned in your link with "classical" manual memory management. How often do you see this kind of (de-)allocation patterns in a standard app? Wouldn't a programmer often write "less than ideal" de-allocation code? (honest question there, I sadly never had the opportunity to write in a language with manual memory-management)

You're on the right track, but with a twist: Explicit memory management works the opposite way around. Freeing an object when it goes out of scope, like the paper's oracle, is the worst case scenario. A real programmer is free to optimize and release memory before that, even if the object still has references.

In practice, I doubt the difference matters. The primary focus of memory management in C/C++ is avoiding leaks from objects that were never freed and can never be freed because all their references are out-of-scope. Programmers have a small window to free memory, before the pointers are out of scope, but only once the object isn't needed. There's not much room for optimization.
You're pretty much spot on. After taking several copyright courses in law school, I can definitively say that the whole area of law is a clusterfuck. Even the seminal cases aren't consistent, let alone those on the periphery. Sadly, most of the closer cases seem to come down the a single judge's gut feeling. If either side has deep enough pockets, they can force the case to come down to a panel of judges' gut feelings, but even the Circuit courts hold wildly inconsistent rulings. I'm not bashing judges here: the law here isn't so much a guideline as it is guide posts. It's not surprising that there's not much consistency.

It's really frustrating for anybody trying to create. It can even be frustrating for the lawyers trying to practice in the field. I ran across this insightful, if slightly biased, post by William Patry, a fairly famous copyright lawyer, explaining his decision to shut down his personal copyright-based blog. He explains the decision as being partly motivated by the landscape of copyright law: http://williampatry.blogspot.com/2008/08/end-of-blog.html

You guys gotta know that even though Yahoo is kind of an old player here in Europe/US, Yahoo Japan is by far the most visited site in Japan and the most widely used search engine with a market of around 70%. Nonetheless Yahoo (the actual one) only owns around 35% of the shares so that Softbank with the rest of them actually runs it.
The guys are doing it pretty nicely with yahoo mail, the site and flickr, it is a shame that their time has gone by.
We have apps that still require IE6

Yep. Hence my comment "I think it is very, very unlikely that any non-client-Java webapp that runs in Firefox 3.x will break in any significant way in any future release"

IE6-only (and IE-only) exist in the enterprise. That doesn't really impact on the Firefox upgrade strategy, since people don't use Firefox to access them.

(Also, MS is slowly dropping support for operating systems supporting IE6. Enterprises are very reluctant to use unsupported operating systems.)

Mary Kay Inc has not only done a tremendous growth with respect to sale volume but has also earned a good name in cosmetic industry as well as it has also opened the doors of opportunities for ladies.
I won't say it's common practice, but I'm aware of people at a few companies (not just startups, but some Fortune 500 ones as well) who use "interviews" to gather competitive intelligence and ideas.

Given your (1), it sounds like you might have run into that at least once. What industry / role were you talking to them about?
Personally, I never liked the idea of developing apps. If you develop a successful one, it will make money for a couple of months, then you have to make another success. With normal software (desktop/web/SaaS/or even hardware) you can anticipate future revenue much more easily. The mobile market just seems too unstable and fickle for long term planning. (Notice how there hasn't been any billion dollar app development companies, like there are web development companies.) I don't see that changing anytime soon. Of course a company that could somehow leverage that fickleness would be golden.
Can you identify a few places you interviewed with? Also, are you using a recruiter?

I'm going to try to limit my response:

I don't consider (1) to be "fake" in the sense that thought-provoking questions aren't meant to be fake. I like asking open-ended questions because I want to be sure that I am dealing with creative people who can think on the spot. In some industries (e.g. finance), being able to quickly think of a solution is important. And yes, I am much more impressed when people can answer in ways that I did not think about (and I've landed offers at many places precisely because I was able to think of clever solutions that the interviewer didn't think about beforehand)
However, the number of people who can go to enough films in a given month to get a good return on their $50 investment is a niche audience, said Wade Holden, a motion picture and home entertainment analyst for SNL Kagan.

Unlimited-use-for-X pricing appeals to people even when it results in paying more than metered billing. Look anywhere you care to: cell phone plans, AOL use / the early Internet, SaaS pricing, etc, etc, etc.

For one thing, people will pay to be the kind of people who go to movies several times a month even if they do not actually go to movies several times a month. (You laugh, but the entire gym industry survives thanks to this. Ditto many other aspirational group memberships such as golf clubs, certain tutoring services, classes, etc etc.)

It seems like a pretty much unalloyed good thing for movie theatres, since they're likely going to see what every subscription service sees: large numbers of people who a) pay happily but b) do not consume the underlying service. Movie theatres have less than a 10% margin on ticket sales IIRC, because they have to pay the studio's cut. They will have 95% margins on subscription rebills for someone who was busy in June and simply didn't attend the theatre.

Not to mention the incredible predictions from medical researchers.

Where's the cure for cancer? Where's the cure for diabetes? Heart disease? Hell, they're just now passing around the (new?) concept that a hi-carbo diet is _bad_ for you! Organized medicine still doesn't know it's ass from a hole in the ground.

We're all gonna die like everyone else does today: organized medicine isn't going to save us. The only question is, how much of our earned income are we willing to pass to those charlatans before we die.

I would imagine Jewish communities push higher education and achievements relating to it at a rate well above the norm. They are also a sizable minority in countries likely to produce nobel laureates. I suspect given a few decades asians will have similar recognition as another generation or so of people coming from a somewhat similar community reach the height of their careers.
FWIW, Martin O'Leary doesn't sound like a Jewish name.
