There are several different degrees of default, and ratings agencies take into account the severity of possible or past defaults in assigning credit ratings. For instance, Standard & Poor's has the following distinction [1]:

> An obligor rated 'SD' (selective default) or 'D' has failed to pay one or more of its financial obligations (rated or unrated) when it came due. A 'D' rating is assigned when Standard & Poor's believes that the default will be a general default and that the obligor will fail to pay all or substantially all of its obligations as they come due. An 'SD' rating is assigned when Standard & Poor's believes that the obligor has selectively defaulted on a specific issue or class of obligations, excluding those that qualify as regulatory capital, but it will continue to meet its payment obligations on other issues or classes of obligations in a timely manner. A selective default includes the completion of a distressed exchange offer, whereby one or more financial obligation is either repurchased for an amount of cash or replaced by other instruments having a total value that is less than par.

According to this definition, Greece is SD, and S&P has rated this credit event so.

Felix Salmon is very much a "default is default, even if it means making a coupon payment one day late" kind of person: he is not using weasel words here.

How uncommon is it for entrepreneurs to take the plunge and have absolutely no income for those 6-12 months? Is this something that's theoretically possible, but most people choose not to go through with it because they would much rather not bankrupt themselves, or do folks actually do it?

It's just that most success stories you read about these days involve some sort of seed money / angel investment that at least guarantees you don't need to immediately start depleting your reserves.

In any case, when you say 5-6 month checkpoint, is that from the moment one would hypothetically start working on startup full time, or while still doing it part-time?
C# is a better Java anyway.
Great link - thanks for that.

It didn't. The wiki tells us that it was first used in 1990, somewhat before Java was on the scene.

Sounds good, but I would be very tempted to publish HTML versions as well. Would that be permitted?
I believe there is hate because a lot of 'over engineering' was done in most projects. This then necessitated the need for more complicated (and `sometimes` useless) new Java techniques.

This most likely comes from seeing Java (or x,y,z) as thee only tool one would possibly need. Unfortunately, Java much like every other lang should be seen as a tool with pros and cons, in a chest of other tools.

Also, it's bad measure to only consider deployment size regarding any platform effectiveness.

" Let's learn more from Java". I'd rather learn more from "Computer Science" and apply those techniques to Java. Not the other way around.

Tolstoy is perhaps not the best example because he had little to do with the spelling, grammar, and sentence structure of his English language works. This was all done by the respective translator after the fact.

A better author to use would be someone like Nabokov or Hemingway who originally wrote in English.
A quick and simple risk assessment and controls
What I don't understand is, why does this guy care if other people don't like the language he likes? It doesn't change the number of Java jobs or the kind of things you can do with the JVM, so why does he care if a bunch of Rubyists hate Java? Also if he doesn't want people to hate his language, maybe he should use something other than Java.

It's true that arxiv works well. Do remember, though, that even arXiv does not allow posting by anyone. If you're not affiliated with a major research institution, you need to be vouched for by current members.
All you need to do to experience this first hand is go to one Ruby meetup. The roundtable introductions at my local Ruby brigade are often seasoned with AA-like declarations of soberness such as "Hi, I'm So-and-so and I've been Java-free since 2006." As a Java pro (and someone who really does like Java) it's a little disheartening. On one hand I know they don't really mean to belittle the technology that pays my bills and feeds my family, but there's a definite mindset of superiority among some professional Ruby-ist communities.

This hardly starts to address the things people dislike about Java. Sure, it's a capable language - the JVM even more so. The thing is, it hasn't kept up with the pace of everything else. The JCP is clearly broken.

The best thing for people would be to move on, not in anger but to explore as many languages as possible. Java could very well be the best thing for some BUT you can't really say until you go out and look. From where I'm standing (subjective since I left Java ages ago) most people that go out to explore new things rarely go back.

This.

Sit-ins were a LAST resort, not the first. There was a long, long history of unequal treatment and oppression by the state before non-violent resistance was used. More importantly, there was a consistent and protracted political movement that was also underway during the period in question. There was a dialog happening and resistance was used to "encourage" one party to stay in that dialog. Even then, it took almost the entire weight of the federal government to ensure the execution of the will of the political majority long AFTER the decision had been made.

Honestly, I think that making comparisons to the civil-rights movement in the US is just beyond the pale.

Anonymous is a mob; Pure and simple. It's an expression of a small, small minority of people that want to do damage and seek to cloak their actions in civic high-mindedness. I don't believe it for a second. The absolute lack of ANYONE willing to speak for them just proves my point. They embrace mayhem without accountability. Anarchy.

Who wants to live in that world? Not I.
At least in my CSE program, you are not allowed to give anyone else the answers in any form. That includes talking about how you solved an assignment and it certainly includes sharing solutions for any purpose.

I don't argue that NASA doesn't do useful science, but that their useful science is crowded out by big-budget, 12-figure manned space missions, and that its political nature (it is a government agency) is the reason for this.
It's been my experience that most people who put down Java or C++ or [your language here] have never seriously used the language and are insecure about learning a new language so they make fun of other languages to hide their insecurity.

Edit: I'll also add that this is not limited to the Ruby community.

One last edit: General Patton once said, "Find what a man is cynical about, and you will know his weaknesses." or something like that. I think that quote applies here.
I don't think it's a default in that example until tomorrow comes and I fail to hand over the $100. Until then we're just negotiating and speculating about whether I will or won't hand it over.

Data Reenactment: Street View video from a stolen phone
I know I wouldn't risk selling a study guide that had anything in the same ballpark as answers to assignments.

Thanks to a quick google, here's my old student handbook:
"Selling academic assignments.

But that's not what's happening at this moment. If you choose to do nothing, you still keep your $1.00 debt. Until now, Greece didn't miss a single payment. It's not making it mandatory to accept the 20% cut. It's not downgrading any promise for holders that choose to do nothing. Nor did it fail to pay its matured debt until now.

It's just offering additional guarantees (which were not present in the initial debt agreement) at a specific cost (a 20% cut or a longer maturity date) for those that want to enter willingly into such transactions.
An interesting angle along those lines is: given the mostly unregulated nature of the CDS market, do they even all have the same conditions for "default"? Is it possible that some CDS contracts are worded more liberally than others?
NB: I deliberately characterised the anger as misdirected, despite the parent thinking otherwise.

Java, by design, imposes an upper-bound on cleverness/productivity that can be feel stifling to some. Thus, it becomes a badge of honor to graduate to sharper tools, such as Ruby. Whether they're cutting themselves (and others around them) with them is another story, of course.

We need more devs who are not so emotionally invested in their tools. Not that they shouldn't care about them, but the loud-mouthed, posturing alpha dev stereotype gets too much airtime on the Internet because they instigate drama and drive hits by playing on the audience. It is little more than bikeshedding, ultimately.
Over the course of the past few years, a lot of the overengineering mindset has been leaving the Java community. Bruce Tate and others have had a significant impact on this shift. More dynamic languages becoming available for the jvm has also helped, as well as lightweight frameworks like guice and picocontainer that permit some degree of complex configuration injection without the overhead of past solutions.

Java's ecosystem is changing, albeit slowly.
"but I'd take JVM over CLR anytime"

What is the Apple approved solution to DRM video?
I bid on something on Ebay for the first time in years this week and although I didn't win and make it to the infuriating checkout process, I was still amazed at how frequently I had resupply my user name and password. When you go back to a site like Ebay you realize how far some other parts of the web have come in promoting user-friendliness and how much some sites are being left behind.
Other legislations sound more reasonable than that: in France, the term for "Statutory rape" is "Détournement de mineur" ("underage corruption" or something). It applies to any adult (more than 18) that have sex with someone under 15. If the adult is in position of power (professor or something), any minor (less than 18) under his or her care is off-limits.

IANAL, but I believe the reasons it is a crime are the same: in the off-limits situations, the minor is believed to not being able of giving informed consent. But at least it's not called "rape".

(I find the term "Statutory rape" quite misleading. It is definitely not the same thing as plain rape, or worse, child rape. It looks like it has been pushed by a lobby of afraid, protective, conservative, possibly religious parents.)
I think developers like to think of themselves as above dogma, but threads like this show they are just as prone to fashion-oriented thinking as any other group of people.

Intellectual honesty is always in short supply on the Internet, it'd seem.

Abraham Lincoln once said "If you are going to quote a man on the Internet make it accurate", or words to that effect.

The .torrent file can list multiple trackers. If it includes TPB's old trackers, connections will fail but the DHT and other trackers usually manage just fine. In fact, TPB said that trackers are obsolete ("not up-to-date") and that everyone should just use DHT and peer exchange (PEX) instead of relying on centralized trackers from now on. Some people still use trackers, but it's not really necessary.
Didn't test on the iphone but on the ipad if you expand one control and then click on another it will keep both expanded. Click on a third and now you'll have 3 expanded. Looks weird. Also, +1 to try to replicate the native look, maybe just adding a down arrow. Good job otherwise.
Well, it would help if a link were posted when the project is in a more mature state. When something is linked and upvoted, people will judge it by the current quality, not some future state of the project.

Good luck though!

Don't get me wrong. Emacs is a great operating system but it lacks a good editor.
RFID refers to a family of technologies that operate over a variety of frequencies and given by the ISO standards. Specifically, 134kHz, 13.56MHz, ~915MHz, and 2.4GHz. The 13.56MHz standardized frequency for RFID is the same as that for NFC. The RFID ISO standards that specify the use of 13.56MHz are ISO 14443 and ISO 15693. NFC is specified in 2 ISO standards, but the more relevant to the discussion is ISO 18092 and it is derived from ISO 14443. So, there is some interoperability between ISO 14443 and ISO 18092, and therefore there is good reason to "conflate" NFC and RFID.

EDIT: I should cleanup and redact the Product Requirements Document I wrote 5 years ago for a transceiver board we built that could talk ISO 14443 and ISO 18092 (as well as ISO 15693) using a single transceiver ASIC and antenna tuned for 13.56MHz.

Smalltalk was famous for it.

> Maybe the word came from the Java community

Nothing of refactoring came from Java or its community. The formalization of its concepts largely came from the Smalltalk community (Opdyke, Johnson '90; Opdyke '92; Johnson, Opdyke '93; Opdyke, Johnson '93), using unit tests to ensure refactorings don't change behavior came from the Smalltalk community and automated refactoring tools came from the Smalltalk community (Roberts, Brant, Johnson '97; Refactoring Browser http://st-www.cs.illinois.edu/users/brant/Refactory/)

In fact, as you may note both the concept and the name are older than Java itself.

The only claim to fame Java has in relation to refactoring is Smalltalk refugees reimplementing IDEs and refactoring browsers for it.
Technically it works ok on the iPhone. From a UX standpoint it's not that good. It's completely different from a native iPhone drop down control. I don't know that there is anything that the developer can really do about it. IMHO I would use a JavaScript check to make sure that mobile clients use the native controls and everyone else uses this plugin.
Definitely, I was only joking.
Right, http://books.google.com/books?id=1MsETFPD3I0C&lpg=PP1...
It actually came from Smalltalk, just for a change.
Actually duct tape vs duck tape isn't all that clear.

Duck Tape is trademarked, but it's possible that was the original term for it. It's weird.
I believe that's true of the large private banks also, which is part of why this group amounting to 90% is on board. It's in the rational self-interest of a bank like Deutsche Bank or Societe Generale to take a haircut on their Greek-debt portfolio if it keeps the rest of their EU bond portfolio from blowing up--- especially if they can get a deal like this one where the EU governments partially reimburse the haircut.
> Apple did a good job with <select>s on iOS and this completely breaks it.

Agreed. Also, when a user has to access both your desktop and mobile apps, the experience has to be the same. This plugin, however nice, is trying to solve a problem by further modifying the problematic feature. Just remove the select if your list is too long; there should really only be a handful of options contained within. As a rule, I keep it to five and I never replace the pseudo element with plugins.
I think the idea is fun, but the HN community has pretty high expectations. Half-implemented ideas out as a solution attracts plenty of critics.

I think what's important to take away here is that people are genuinely interested in some sort of NodeJS web security framework given by the fact that people are viewing your source and commenting at all. If we thought it was a bad idea, I don't think you would have gotten any feedback at all.
So, I think if you sift through the noise, you'll find a few folks will put up some good suggestions.

NASA's Successful Quantifying of Comedy Timing (By Penn Jillette and Teller)
This just seems like a matter of preference to me. It works on iOS pretty much just like it works on a desktop. It may be that some iOS users would prefer the native UI, but you could say the same for some desktop users (particularly keyboard-wary ones). I certainly wouldn't call anything "broken".
