Vandalism?

If I break your window, that's vandalism. If I burn down your home, that's arson.

DDoS attacks I've seen have completely shut down some major sites and had some pretty significant second-order effects. There are real dollars and real problems created for real life individuals who depend on the availability of these systems.

You can justify it all you like but civic action doesn't justify what these people do. It's mob mentality at work and it resembles a riot more than anything else. Innocent people get hurt in riots and no self respecting individual should be involved in one. Virtual or otherwise.
You're right. Not sure what I was thinking. Anyway, it still sounds like Cisco has ridiculously good severance packages!
From what I've read, Apple has never participated in those "top workplace" surveys, so saying they've never made the top 100 is a useless statement at best.

glassdoor.com satisfaction surveys place them somewhere between Intel and Google, but a lot of the reviews come from retail employees. I'd be curious to see what the average score is for corporate employees.

I am a google apps paying customer and it took them 4 weeks to get my domain issue corrected ! In that time i wasnt able to get mail so i had to change my mail to use godaddy until they got back to me. When they finally did they said it was because my dns records were pointing to godaddy ! After 1 week of not getting mails i would say an alternative is required. I actually had a feeling that this would happen :)

I really love google as a company, their products, api's, their talks and all the events they hold are so great, i have learnt alot, BUT man, when i couldn't access my mail as a paying customer and got the runaround for support for 4 weeks even though they said it was high on the priority list ... GRRR thinking about it just makes me mad.

Anyway on a good note, after this issue everything is working fine and i guess aslong as you dont need support then everything is good :)

I'll admit that the quotes around "screenshots" exposed a bias (though I privately considered "honest mistake" a real contender), so I'll take my lumps.

But I stand by my main point: I don't see any REASON to BELIEVE.* The only thing separating malice, incompetence and good work here are the unknown motives of some guy with an internet connection -- possibly an NYU student of Panos Ipeirotis, if you caught that story. I think it was fair to ask why people felt so confident with their "OMG! Google is incompetent!" posts, so quickly. I guess I picked the wrong grandparent.

* You've kindly provided a corroborating source, so "good work" is looking more likely.
You forgot reified generics and no type erasure.

I wonder how this works, if it is compatible with generic classes defined in Java and if they optimize the implementation for primitives.
Even if Apple does do this, there are going to be tons of copycats throughout China. I'll bet we'll see some interesting variations like an apple with bite on the left side or a black apple on a silver background.

This thing is full of pointless UI weirdness. For example:

* None of the back buttons look like iOS back buttons or state where they lead.

* The tab controls are taller than usual, taking up room for no good reason.

* The open in Safari icon looks like nothing I've ever seen and it displays an alert view instead of an action sheet.

* The People view has a tabs on bottom and a segmented control on top. The segmented control is treated as primary (changes the entire view including tabs).

* It takes five taps to get from your stream to the posts of a particular circle.
Thanks for the advice Jason, we often loose sight of how valuable our product is when comparing it against the big guys. I agree, having other options to gauge your market value takes the pressure off and balances the negotiation. Do you think it's better to delay the negotiations until we have a similar interest from another company?

As an fellow Australian you might be interested to know it's for AFL :)
Apple still clueless on guidance
The temporary DDoS attacks really aren't their main concern, however. The infiltration of companies and dumping of their data is a much more serious risk. Given that this all took place in 2010, we'll see if they arrest anyone from LulzSec in a year or so. My guess is no. I have no doubt that the NSA could probably track them down if they wanted to, but that's way outside their scope of interest, and the FBI just doesn't have the capability.

What I see as a problem is that it legitimizes the idea of a message in a browser telling you that your computer is infected with malware.

A rule of thumb I've given to the confused class of users is that only antivirus programs or Windows will tell you something like this, and that if a browser window pops up and claims to be running a scan it's lying. Now Google is screwing that all up.
I don't buy your argument at all. For one thing, you can apply it to almost any instance of mob action against some other party. Is that really what you'd like to see?

I also don't buy your argument that it's nonviolent. By DDoSing a site, your interfering in the legal activity of the target and some outside party. Apply that same principle to the real world and you suggest that it's perfectly reasonable for someone to trespass into a commercial establishment, obstruct the interactions of patrons with staff, and otherwise use resources that are set aside for paying customers.

Since I depend on the availability of these sites, I'm not so enamored with folks who interrupt MY work just for laughs. I'm doubly irritated with people who call it "justified". That smacks of one-sided righteousness and anarchy.

If you believe in your cause, show your face. Make your case.
As I commented in the article, I just added a free Chrome extension to the Chrome web store today that collapses every post and adds an expand/collapse toggle bar to them.

Makes things a lot more condensed and manageable.

It's called gpMin and can be found for here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ekdhfgmnpfbmhhdaij...

I'll put the code up on git in a day or so when I get some time.
This is funny, because a brick-and-mortar casino is also "programmed" so the house comes out on top.
Right, but LOIC actually is ridiculously simple. You either enter the url of the server that's doing the fire control, or just enter the url of your target and click "fire lazorz". It's built to be used by masses of /b/tards, so simplicity is a key design choice.
ahaha, perhaps I was a bit harsh. :)
1. Is this something you want to spend time and money on?

2. If the above answer is yes, is the other party in a position to not care about time and money?

3. If the above answer no, and if you can prove that your trademark is older then talk to a lawyer.

4. Find out the following from the lawyer: If your case is strong, and how much money and time might be require to defend the trademark. Then and only then would I go ahead. And even then I'd see if I could talk to the other party (if my lawyer told me I was in the right) and settle the case.

Another cost factor: Is going the legal route more expensive than a rebrand?

And also keep in mind that sometimes you can be talking to a lawyer who just wants to rack up billable hours. So try to find one that really knows about IP and comes recommended to you...
Also clear examples of why you should never have a "friendly" conversation with anyone in law enforcement for any reason. There are so many illogical laws that are written against casual actions you would have no idea what you've done, but the cop knows exactly what will work against you. Oh and they are allowed to lie to you - you in return are not allowed to lie back.

People are often purposely charged with felonies so they can be negotiated down to misdemeanors but even misdemeanors can carry surprising sentences if a judge decides they don't like you.
For class based languages I am completely beholden to good tools for refactoring and the like, so rarely does a new language work for me in the long term no matter how much fun it is. But these guys make the best tools in the world. And as much as I like the usability of the JVM and the plethora of awesome libraries, I find Java frustrating compared to C#. This Kotlin could be just what I'm looking for.
Grrr, google and it's acronym's, I thought GWT stood for Google Web Toolkit and I was really confused for a second. Instead this GWT stands for Google Webmaster Tools...
Both are free apps and and its kind of cool to compare them. I think this is relevant.

I tried to upload it to the chrome gallery. But the upload process required my images to fit some specifics which I tried to do but didn't accept. After a few minutes, I couldn't be bothered and didn't release it there.

The code is available here: https://bitbucket.org/statictype/code/src/07e811007297/pinbo...

BTW, the chrome gallery has lots of delicious/pinboard extensions. You may want to look at those too.

I see your points, and I'm definitely not suggesting G+ should be a Twitter clone, but at the moment I'm seeing that the whole concept of 'following' peoples posts, whether you know them or not, is being used (and encouraged by G+) so I think it needs some improvement.

In regards to the configuration options, I'd suggest that perhaps the defaults should be changed.

re: Google's capacity to change things, that's exactly what I thought should trigger more skepticism: Not only has no one repeated the experiment -- no one ever can. Now it's history, and that can get murky.

http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/Kotlin/Classes+and+I...

Basically the language has no notion of interfaces; preferring instead multiple inheritance. Then the diamond problem is taken care of by making mandatory the overriding of conflicts. See the provided example:

http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/Kotlin/Classes+and+I...

Then, it also has syntactic sugar for the Delegation pattern:

http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/Kotlin/Classes+and+I...

One cool thing about Scala's implicit conversions is that they eliminate many use-cases which would make you use traits. Kotlin has a similar mechanism, but kind of different (taken from C#); extension methods:

http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/Kotlin/Extension+fun...

The classic trait I'm thinking about when thinking about traits is the Enumerable module in Ruby:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Enumerable.html

This is a classic example of where a trait is useful for providing common implementation for collections that only have to implement "each". The cool thing about extension methods is that you can implement all those methods in the Enumerable module above, without dealing with multiple inheritance or traits.

The difference between implicit conversions and extension methods is that implicit conversions are more flexible, but extension methods are easier to reason about and (being statically resolved at compile-time) don't suffer from performance penalties.

I'm not saying that what Kotlin does is better than Scala, but it does seem simpler. Personally I can't wait to play with it.
Why Newegg Couldn't Crack the Chinese Market
This is a wild guess, but perhaps the first new well-funded university of high prestige will be something spun out from the Khan Academy's efforts. It wouldn't be a university in the traditional sense, it may not even have much of a physical campus. But given how much he's supported Khan's efforts, perhaps that could be one of Gates' legacies. A GKU, perhaps?
How to (Really) Find What Your Customers Think
I particularly like their much simpler approach to null-safety. Null is a ghost that haunts every imperative language, and it's great to see a good solution. Scala's is also nice, but wordy and difficult for newbies.

Simply being able to call a method chain without null checks or pattern matching is really nice. In Kotlin, you can either declare the variables non-nullable or use a safe call chain, e.g.

kennel?.mommies?.puppies()

The brain injuries that destroyed a football superstar
FWIW, I just submitted a removal request via GWT for a page on my own site, and the request was accepted without complaint and is pending. Maybe Google turned the tool back on already.

I tried a request for a page on my wife's site, via the prescribed URL mangling, and it was silently ignored.
"The open annotation on a class is the opposite of Java's final: it allows others to inherit from this class. By default, all classes in Kotlin are final, which corresponds to Item 17 of Effective Java: Design and document for inheritance or else prohibit it."

This is an odd decision, puts me in mind of Yegge's rant -http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2010/07/wikileaks-to-leak-50...
these look like apple distributors though. as the products are apple original right ?

or are they using second hand apple products ?
Interesting article. I have some qualms with a few points, however:

>There’s actually very little in one of the videos that distinguishes Khan from “traditional” teaching. A teacher talks. Students listen. And that’s “learning.” Repeat over and over again (Pause, rewind, replay in this case). And that’s “drilling.”

I don't fully understand what the purpose the author had with this, and I find it somewhat misleading. A student doesn't repeat it over and over again for the sake of "drilling"[1] themselves, but rather because the "pause, rewind, replay" action enhances understanding and therefore learning. There's no question that listening to something multiple times at your own pace assists in learning. Actually, I see this as one of the clearest primary advantages of an online video lecture over a live one. Concerning the quality of the lectures and whether they encourage deep understanding and serious inquiry/curiosity is a separate issue.

Personal thoughts on Khan Academy:

I definitely have my own concerns with the Khan website, and am slightly irritated and worried with the holistic light that some people view it in. Seriously, it's not intended, nor can it effectively, replace teachers and entire curricula! People with power, including the media, please realize this! The last thing I want (and I'm sure Khan as well) is for good teachers to be fired as a result of this view point.

Concerning the badges and the "gamification of learning" -- I believe they can be a force of good, however it is important that teachers and Khan Academy use other methods as well to encourage an intrinsic motivation (learning for the sake of learning and growth) simultaneously, to prevent the artificial targets (the badges) from becoming the sole motivator. Studies have shown that a focus on extrinsic motivators, such as badges, can lead to shallow and short-term learning/understanding (Dweck).

[1] Concerning "drilling" -- I sense an unfair negative connotation with that word in the article as well. Drilling in and of itself isn't bad or ineffective as long as it's done properly and for material where it makes sense.
Does C# not use the same default of non-inheritable classes? Or is it just at the method level, where you have to mark methods as overridable?

Brick and mortar casinos are heavily regulated and inspected to ensure that they are fair. While all the games have a house edge, they are ultimately probabilistic. The concern with an online casino is that its blackjack game won't just rely on the house X% edge, but will fix the deals so that the house always comes out ahead after some set number of deals.
I read this book and think that federal crimes are punished too harshly, but the people profiled seem far from average.
Sorry I don't quite understand the first question, do you mean if they create another competing app it will tarnish our brand? For the second question, I think the agreement will have a time expiration, possibly a few months so both parties can test out the partnership. Is it worth contracting KPIs? A cancellation clause is a great idea, having some kind of protection so we can walk away from it.

Nope. You have to set up a webserver (Apache or whatever) and PHP. Then (to get on par with Django+virtualenv practices level) get some PHP framework of choice...

Sure, PHP comes pre-configured out of the box. But there are no real differences between `apt-get install python-django` (comes with a development web-server, runnable as ./manage.py runserver) and `apt-get install apache2 libapache2-php`.

Ok, thank you for that, I think I'll just curl up in a little ball under a blanket and shiver for a while!

That said, it is important to note why brainfuck (or any other blub) wasn't the common browser language (or CBL from here on in) - the CBL is the CBL because it was relatively easy for humans to write small snippets of code in it. Without that, the language would never become the CBL.

Unfortunately that statement also means that the odds were against the CBL being anything other than an imperative style language. That we got something so close to a functional language is really quite a bonus (even if I do end up having to modify strings and eval() because we aren't using s-exprs)
The other thing you can do is use the keyboard shortcut 'j' to jump to the next post ('k' goes to the previous) so that you can quickly move through a large number of posts without using the scrollbar at all.
I did not say that it was not unauthorized access, just that hacking (in the breaking into computer systems sense) involves actually breaking in.

Changing a MAC address (on a device that you own and control) does not constitute hacking. It is as simple as ifconfig(8) and if you have a consumer router it probably has an option in the web interface to do it.
That looks neat, can't wait.
