It would be an interesting (albeit expensive) experiment for some VC to start publicly and aggressively financing defence against patent troll attacks on their portfolio companies. If trolls are after settlements and the VC sends the message that they won't settle, trolls may leave their portfolio alone in the long run.

Two photons interfering is just two photons interfering; that's not measurement. More precisely, the wavelike photon, which is the "cause" of the interference pattern, hits a component of a photodetector, which generates a voltage and sends an electron current through a cable, that feeds into a computer which is running a program that displays photon counts. On the other hand, if you isolate parts of the setup, for example if the interference pattern of the photon hits just a very thin slice of photosensitive material that would otherwise be part of the photodetector, I'm sure you may very well observe an electron interference pattern, for example (and a non-rigorous one, at that).

In "real life" (meaning in the laboratory), measurement isn't some discrete process that can be isolated at a specific point in an experimental setup. Otherwise, there would be much better explanations for measurement in undergraduate physics curriculums.

In fact, even in top physics curriculums, the problem of measurement is barely treated at all, since the interpretation of measurement in quantum mechanics is a "philosophical" problem that apparently has no place in real physics, which instead must concern itself with mathematics that is phenomenologically accurate.
Most startups don't have money to shell out free t-shirts. I would gladly pay for a t-shirt to help out a start up though (similar to what bands do).
I haven't got a G+ account, but is G+ circle grouped friends data exportable?

It seems like a form of technical debt otherwise as n of friends approach infinity.
This is great and something Dropbox should do. This would make for great PR. The QR code idea underneath my post would be great on the back. Just a huge QR code.
Bingo. It's really annoying that I can't use tuple/dict (un)packing without it complaining, let alone that if I have a class which is too big, too small, or does too much/too little, it throws a fit. Worse, it doesn't understand zope.interface and gets quite irate when confronted with interface-heavy code.

I'm usually working in Twisted or Django, and it's so very unfun to try to get pychecker/pylint to be okay with those libraries. I'd rather have pyflakes.

Hmm, I guess neither of us have anything besides anecdote, but here's the data for the entirety of my stream so far (includes me and people that are in my circles):

Limited - 63%
Public - 33%
Extended Circles - 4%
Total - 55 posts

So, small sample for sure, and skewed by early adopters who are almost certainly interested in G+ because they have always hated the fire-hose of FB (disclosure: this is why I'm interested in it). I'm also only following about 5 people who could be considered public figures at the moment, and the overwhelming majority of those public posts come from Randall Munroe. So, take it or leave it, but for the time being, and at least for the people I know who are active on the service, I think limiting posts to certain circles or individuals is the preferred sharing method.

As a further (small) data point, I've had a few people share photo albums with me, and none of them have done so publicly. Photos are definitely the major pain point of the oh-my-god-Grandma-can-see-this problem, but so are things like bad language, dirty jokes, non- or anti-religious articles, or politics in general, so seeing those things shared in a limited fashion could also be a game changer. I have already noticed an enormous difference in my own behavior - with Facebook, I dreaded the day my parents joined, and stopped using it basically as soon as they did, but with G+, I have already invited them because there is nothing to fear.

Circles are absolutely valuable, but perhaps they won't be valuable enough to enough people.
Each USB device has it's own unique ID, so yeah, it should be possible.
Exactly. You have family and very close friends who might as well be family, but beyond that you typically have groups of friends in some particular context. Friends through work, friends from school, friends through a particular hobby, professional acquintances, etc, etc. Often times it's not appropriate to dump all of these people into one big bucket, to imagine that the level of intimacy you share with a friend you would donate an organ to and some one you like to spend time with at work should be even remotely the same. As social networking sites become mature it's critical that they engage the full spectrum of communication, not merely the lowest common denominator that's suitable or meaningful to all of your extended acquintances.
I'm a Cal Poly grad and this excites me. Congrats guys!
MBAs are misunderstood. These are business hackers. They may hack the signals that are being sent to the market quarterly, but they are also capable of hacking other parts of the business for better long term outcomes if the market lets them. The problem is market analysts are like news reporters, always chasing after the next car crashes.
How many dollars in wallets came from programs like the Department of Defense and the TSA? And how many came from programs related to research and teaching?
So the point of this article is that it's not stupid to plug in random USB sticks you find on the street? That's what USB sticks are for? What if you found a big slice of your favorite type of cake on a park bench, would you eat it? You wouldn't? Why not, hell, that's what cakes are for.

Picking up random USB sticks and sticking them into your computer is the equivalent of having sex with random people you meet on the street. The only thing you can hope for if you do that is that whatever you're having as protection is going to save you from catching something nasty. But by the time you find out if your protection actually protected you or not, it might already be too late.

I agree that it would be great if our systems could save us from anything and everything malware writers can come up with. But unfortunately, they can't, so our first line of defense should just be plain old common sense.

Why? Can't you just bail on whatever you are currently doing? How is the entire process compromised by a failed malloc? Resources are limited, sort of by definition, shouldn't good code be able to handle this possibility?

> Erlang is also a great programming language to start programming with because it's so simple and based on existing mathematical knowledge that many beginners already have (functions).

I strongly disagree with that. Erlang is simple neither in semantics nor in syntax (good luck putting your . and ; in the right place when you are learning).

The tools are also extremely poor, starting with the compiler's own error messages. This is the last place you want to confuse beginners if you want them to have fun learning a language.

It never ceases to amaze me why we give power over to those who do not themselves produce, and have no experience doing so. There are some great leaders out there, but I find it hard to follow someone who has little domain experience. Actually, why do we view 'business' as its own separate field when it doesn't mean anything in a vacuum?
They're official reddit t-shirts from the reddit store, I assume the startup has been given them by reddit
Special semantics for the "Following" circle might be nice, where anyone you put into that circle has a "Following You" circle that you are part of. Unfortunately, I think this is probably hard to do in a manner that does not add complexity and confusion to the existing implementation. It would make sense to people from the Twitter world, but breaks the implicit assumption that your circles are private.
He said it similarly in his book, "Programming is not a spectator sport." It takes forever to read a book this way, but it helps to slow down and get it.
I had been using my iPhone 3G the last two weeks until I had some time to fix my 3GS. The app was terribly slow and sometimes even unresponsive on the 3G, to the point where I found myself using the web app more often than not. Now I am back to using my 3GS and the performance is better on the iPhone app, but I still find myself using the web one more. I like the interface better and it is also what opens when I click to read the rest of the notifications in my email.

As for the location feature, a couple of weeks ago I was put in beta trial for it so I have had some time to look it over and am not too impressed. It is indecent idea, but I would prefer to have conversation and feel the girls out a bit before just meeting up. Also, the girls that have been using the new local feature haven't really been my type and maybe this goes hand in hand with the previous statement.
this:

func global(some_arg_to_close_over Bar) {
func walk_tree(node Node) {
...
walk_tree(left(node))
walk_tree(right(node))
}
walk_tree(something)
}
I've had some good results by messing with the query string. But only for particular values--last I tried, 5 was often a good number. Dunno if it'd catch people in Berkeley, though.
Sorry, but why would I wear a DropBox t-shirt? If I'm an employee there or something, it might make sense. It also makes sense if you identify yourself with a particular large company's ethos like Apple / Google, but I just can't see myself wearing any of these ...
I've never disliked legacy code for many of the same reasons. Sure, I've seen some gnarly stuff, but generally if it's still around then it's mostly working and usable. And sometimes it's rewarding to get a chunk of really slow code to run faster and be more efficient.

On rare occasions you get to experience completely different ways of thinking - such as some code I inherited a couple years back that was written by a team in North Africa. Seeing different ways of solving the same problem is never a bad thing.
A similar article about C code coverage tools would be great.

We constantly make these decisions in the real world. Who do I invite to dinner tonight, whose 4th of July barbecue do I go to, who would be interested in going to see this movie, who wants to geek out over some LOTR Risk while drinking cheap wine (only 4 players!), and on and on and on. Perhaps it's unfortunate that, while we don't have to actually attach any sort of text (which I'll allow you, definitely is a label), on the internet we do. But, as an earlier reply said, these generally aren't the possibly-offensive labels referred to by the common wisdom against labeling people, they merely represent the real disconnect between various groups of people that we like.

Is anyone out there putting people into circles like "Losers", "Smelly Nerds", or "Jerks" rather than "Friends", "Coworkers", or "Family"?
Fair enough.

A meta question is why asking the question of how someone would feel about the utility of the UX when there were many choices offered which would not be appropriate for a particular circle, gets a down vote.

Is it not a real concern?

Is the answer so obvious I just missed it?
Why do people wear band t-shirts? This might not be your thing, but lots of people will buy/wear shirts to promote or support an organization they like.
Unless you do most of your communicating with family through Facebook, or use Facebook Connect to authenticate with external sites; then you're just as screwed if they ban you.
It's one of the biggest pieces of mainstream technology news right now, and though that might be because of the exclusive aspect of it (remember the PR firm that offered invites to other PR firms as a way of getting contacts?), it's also because a battle between Google and Facebook will be really interesting, leading to everyone with an opinion writing an article. It will probably blow over in a week or two - just like the Bitcoin stories did, though they lasted for several months. Or the Color stories (slight resurgence as the company continues self-destructing, but it's the first I've seen of them on HN in months).

It's a really standard cycle on HN - not the first or last time it will happen. If it gets too irritating, then someone will write a browser extension to hide all stories about Google+, or adapt an existing extension (as they did with Bitcoin and a bunch of other topics that briefly took over the site).

Humans have a lot of machinery dedicated to determining whether or not to eat a given piece of food. Bad food has been around as long as humans, so those without any equipment for detecting tainted food have long since died off. Hence, most people would not eat that cake on the park bench, because they have a lot of senses (physical and emotional) that tell them not to.

USB drives, on the other hand, have not been around for very long. When you plug in an evil USB stick, nothing bad happens. Maybe in a few years someone buys some shit with your credit card, and your bank has to send you a new one. That's about it, though, and that negative consequence isn't enough to override the curiosity intrinsic in humanity. So people find USB drives and plug them in, just because they are curious for a glimpse into other peoples' lives. See also: tabloids.
Scott Adams has made a fortune for decades documenting this development. I've never seen an MBA who comprehended or laughed or groaned with Dilbert.

The skills necessary to engineer and build effectively usually require a certain patience and humble appreciation. Unfortunately, this allows clueless MBAs and psychotics to run business in self destructive methods.

You're the first person I've seen use the word "introvert" in this discussion, and it seems right to me - maybe Google+ is just the social network for introverts. It explains the huge difference between the "who cares about that?" people and the "oh my gosh that sounds perfect!" people that I have spoken to - more extroverted people vs. more introverted people.

This article seems to make a lot of sweeping negative generalizations about MBA students. I agree with the author's obvious argument that people who lack domain experience and who focus on short-term outcomes should not be in-charge of the mentioned businesses. But what about MBAs who do have domain experience? Or MBAs with backgrounds in engineering? I'm sorry, but a handful of anecdotes is not enough to support the author's argument here.

The problem is that Senator Dick really does believe that this law will be narrowly and judiciously applied to solve just the specific problem of pirated movies/music and neatly solve a big problem for an even bigger campaign contributor.

There is just no practical way for a domain expert to make the potential for unintended consequences of this stuff fit in his mind.

There's a difference between running `ps -ceo comm=tasks` and sending that information to Facebook's servers (which is how I read "collecting this information from millions of unknowing users"). It looks like he proved the former, but has provided no evidence as to the latter.

This doesn't mean that they're not sending that information back. I just don't like speculation being presented as fact without evidence. There are enough people on the Internet these days who will trust that `ps -ceo comm=tasks` means whatever a technical blog author tells them it means that I think it's dangerous to overstate what the evidence indicates.

In almost every professional context (except those few outlying context which directly relate to sexy, naked, or scantily clad people) this is inappropriate. I just hang my head when I see posts like this. The tech industry has a reputation for being nerdy and socially awkward, nothing proves that for outsiders faster than a stupid, immature stunt like the topic of the original article.

This behaviour is never appropriate and is completely unjustifiable. It not only embarrasses you and demeans your target(s), but it sends public opinions of our entire industry backwards.
Can you link to the "actual security". I don't see it below.

Regardless, any small business with a loyalty program would pick up on some guy that comes in repeatedly for free stuff. Their reports would probably indicate it too. An electronic version like this is definitely more secure than a punchcard, which can easily be gamed by going to your local art store.

Something which doesn't exists on any other zillion blogs, something is not " MongoDB 101 "...

If i want to install MongoDB on Ubuntu, i would use google, first result for "MongoDB ubuntu install" is MongoDB's web site ( http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packag... ). I think it would be better to follow these instructions.

The point is : If one wants to be useful for others, he/she should be write about use cases and possible implementations (eg. " our e-commerce solution and how we using mongodb")
While USB sticks are made to be plugged in, the fact remains that a machine cannot be kept secure when an attacker gains physical access to it. (Remember that old and outlandish notion of an "air gap" for secure machines?)

If you can plug untrusted hardware into your machine, your machine cannot be trusted. It's not just autorun that's an issue - you've exposed your machine to unknown forces once you plugged in an item.

Corollary: If you need to be secure, don't provide IO ports.
"I think everyone feels the need to share different things with different people--and the desire to be able to hear from certain circles without losing them in the overall stream."

Personally I'm interested in the real numbers behind this. Have people actually split up their social network into circles? To what degree? Are people actually using the feature the way it was intended? How many posts are public or effectively public? How do people who only know a few people on G+ (essentially everybody outside the tech scene) use the service and Circles.

To me, G+ feels like a better content sharing network rather than a social network. For example, you can't even privately message somebody.

Now that I think about it, I wish the analytics lead on the team would do an IAMA as well. :-)
I recommend Rich Hickey's presentations on Clojure:

Rich's talk at the JVM language summit, "Are We There Yet?", gives a really good look into some of the ideas that underlie clojure. It's worth viewing even if one never uses clojure.
