I've started using Interstate with my team. The core features are great, and it definitely helps to get organized. The one fundamental problem that I've found early on with the product, which will be a severe detriment unless they can find a workaround, is that there isn't much that keeps me coming back. The only thing that would keep me coming back is a constant stream of updates, but the way that the system is set-up currently, updates come infrequently enough that I'm not concerned enough to regularly check it. This might change with a bigger team and once we get more involved, though. I think one way to improve is to build some type of real-time collaboration platform to supplement the core product. That may be too great a pivot, but the ability to actually use it as a communication suite for my team while building our roadmap is compelling.

> threat to kill taken very seriously indeed

But if he's impersonating someone while making the threat "as them" specifically to get them in trouble, is it really a threat to be taken seriously? It can't possibly indicate harmful intent, as he knows the person he's impersonating isn't going to do anything. That said, if he'd robbed a bank wearing a Nixon mask[1], it's still a robbery. But that's an action, while the first is expression of intent--intent that does not exist.

By having a chat and asking an adult not to molest your children, you are very likely offering a pedophile a free crack at someone else's less well-attended kid. In reality, people who molest children are deeply sick, almost certainly not restricting their attention to your children, very likely have accosted victims before this one, and will very likely go on to commit further offenses.

If one of my neighbors saw something like this happen and let it slide, I'd be absolutely furious with them.
Yeah, I love Grooveshark but their recommendations are bad. I'd love to try Pandora. Not having much choice I'm happy with iTunes on desktop, Double Twist and Grooveshark for mobile. I've dipped my toe in Google and Amazon music but I had to jump through proxying hoops just like I would have to w/ Pandora, so none of those pan out till they really service Canada.

We have last.fm in Canada too, I forgot about them. I hear there are other choices but I haven't heard of any. Would love to hear if anyone reading this knows of them.
The law explicitly distinguishes between criminal intent in the heat of passion and criminal intent fueled by prolonged and careful planning. So, yes.
Netflix also uses Amazon S3 and is probably an even larger customer, but I agree with your assessment that custom rates are very likely (for both of them).

What about the vast majority of us who went to schools where professors don't have connections of note anyhow?

A lot of these complaints seem most relevant to people who went to top tier schools but graduated with a degree that's less-than-immediately useful.
It's mostly hype surrounding anything social right now, especially with a good revenue model. Zynga is worth 4x what EA is and currently worth more than EA and Activision combined.

There is a lot of money in social games, but without getting a lot more users (hard when CityVille is hitting 100 million+) or getting much better conversion rates, Zynga is unlikely to see revenue from social games that matches their current value.

I find it very unlikely the harassing went on for months before the victim had to talk to his bosses about what was going on. I'm pretty sure I'd have to explain myself pretty much the same day, if not minute, if co-workers started receiving lewd emails from me. Once he did that, they hired some professionals and I imagine they figured out pretty quickly what was going on. So I highly doubt there was much time between the start of the harassment to the detection of the culprit.

Once the found the 'problem', they could have just changed the encryption to WPA2, optionally punched the guy in the face, and be done with it. If the actions of the hacker were so utterly horrible that they could have destroyed the victim's life, why would they let him continue doing it for months? It appears they kept monitoring the network until they had enough evidence to put the guy in jail.

I don't think getting your WiFi hacked will destroy your life, but eighteen years in jail will.
Google is clearly listening to user feedback on Plus. This is at least the third change so far in where I've seen Google folks engage in the initial discussions, describe their reasoning for why it was initially implemented the way it was, and (after a few days) come back with changes. Very impressive.

Actually they had. From the video:

"One of the major things we use gender information for on Google+ is for picking gender pronouns - her, his, theirs - when we refer to you. Google is committed to building products that people all over the world use, and in some languages gender is much more deeply part of how sentences are formed than in say, English. Having gender information helps to make Google+ more conversational. If you decide to make your gender private on Google+, we'll to use gender-neutral language to describe you whenever someone else encounters gender-related information about you but doesn't have permission to see your gender. For example, instead of saying 'Greg added you to his circles' or 'Frances added you to her circles', we'll say 'Greg added you to their circles' or 'Frances added you to their circles'. Yes, I know this is grammatically questionable. You don't need to message me about it. We value helping people control their privacy as being much more important than being grammatically perfectly."
Can someone explain the "Rydex for the global markets" idea? I don't understand what Rydex does at all.

it seems like search algorithm is broken and returning horrible spammy results or low quality apps when searching for exact name of a specific app.
It says "SHOULD" not "MUST", so the client can assume the server will keep its promises, it's just not recommended.

"SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there
may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
particular item, but the full implications must be understood and
carefully weighed before choosing a different course."

> and have discovered DVD's aren't going away as fast as they planned.

I think they are being dishonest about their "bafflement" over the persistence of DVDs. I think the real reason is the quality of their streaming collection. There a few gems but it is filled with a lot of sub-par, unwanted, titles. I for example, have watched all the streaming videos I want for a while. Now I am just waiting for the new ones to appear and watching real DVDs I get in the mail.

But to give them the benefit of the doubt, it would be interesting to see how they determined that streaming just isn't that popular. They could have judged by the total # of subscribers that have ever setup or watched a streaming title? The best way would be if they focused on titles offered both in streaming and non-streaming form, then investigated which form people actually choose.

Yes. Their contract could specify that. They could also specifically state which titles can be streamed and which can't ( I think that is actually the case, that is why their streaming selection is not as good ).

Yes, I am aware the RFC used should and not must, but nevertheless their recommendation is clear.

And of course if that item is to be ignored "the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course." Here the implications are that the device may cause other devices to drop their connections, which is a pretty severe implication, imo.

Ideally, one is not convicted of crimes they don't commit. This case is a good example: the person that tried to frame his victim is now off to prison for 18 years.

The whole kernel discussion seems to be a red herring. The reason the android device was so slow is because the DHCP server timed out twice on a DHCP request. Those two timeouts caused 10s of the 11s delay.

My guess is that maybe he was bright enough to crack the WEP but not bright enough to send the e-mail through the victim's ISP's SMTP relay, but instead sent it through his own (Comcast's), possibly authenticated with his own username and password, if Comcast does user authentication for SMTP instead of just trusting all of their customer subnets blanketly.

How Not to design Captcha by Sony
Grumpy today, are we? I would've thought someone like you would be able to go beyond "omfg, kiddie pr0n", but apparently possessing a single image that is legally child pornography (we'll probably never know what the actual contents were, so we can see if we agree with that legal judgment), that he may very well have downloaded from an a place like 4chan, where it was publicly available, is enough to morally justify sentencing someone for possession of child pornography?

I think every owner of a stash of pornographic material is guilty then.

Irregardless of whether you agree with the above argument, completely 'revising your opinion of me' for a single argument in a single case where you are conversing via a rather incomplete/miscommunication prone medium like this, seems rather like overreacting.

From the link: "For 18 of the top 21 I used the postmoney valuation of the most recent funding round.

Isn't that just a side effect of using Blogger?

One thing that I have learned from Microsoft over the years is that this kind of statement is worth about as much as the ink it takes to print it. It may be true for WP7 in the immediate future, but it has no bearing on WP vNext or whatever they choose to do when they ultimately panic and reorient, which they will, because that's how they have always reacted to change in consumer tastes.

No, I'm not going to get past someone intentionally keeping and trafficking in child pornography. If anything, I'm perturbed that I've given you the impression that I'd be sanguine about it.

When I read someone suggesting that the state has sentenced someone abusively, then later find a comment where that same person says posting actual images of child pornography isn't a big deal --- or, as I found even further downthread, that physically molesting a child is something that warrants a stern conversation rather than police intervention --- I'm inclined to believe that person has very little to say about sentencing that I am going to find reasonable.

You are free to your own opinion about this case, and about 'inoop's comments.
Too short? I'm flabbergasted. 18 years is an incredibly, incredibly long time, in which both you and the world change tremendously. Suppose that after 2 years someone has come to regret their actions and want to be a regular 'productive member of society'. Do we really want to put someone like that away for another 16 years? What good does it do? Does it make society safer? In terms of revenge, 2 years or 18 years hardly matters and neither is good enough. What would be enough: 25... 33... 40... Or does only death fit the crime?

How about 6 years, with compulsory therapy?
Did Google start owning Python when Guido went to work there? Replace Google by Transmeta and Guido by Linus and you have another earlier example. This kind of thing happens all the time. You can generally count on long-time system designers and implementors to have enough integrity and pride in their creation that they won't succumb to corporate agendas even from their own employers. It's not like they're so desperate they have to suck corporate cock to hang onto a job.

Nice list. Along the lines of post yesterday, I'd encourage the developer to use an IDE and gems as little as possible in order to truly get what's going on under the covers. Also, the moving on is an excellent point. I've recently started an app-a-month goal for myself (I'm married with 2 kids) in order to keep myself shipping.

No, I can understand some people would want to hide their gender. I was asking why there should be gender-specific language when your very reference is pointing out that people want to hide their gender.

If someone hides their gender and you see posts like Dan who wished to hide their gender would be exposed with "Dan has not filled out his profile yet."

Solely looking at the protective aspect and ignoring an assessment of the chance of recidive, the logical conclusion is that a relatively low sentence is in place.
