I was sitting right in front of Anne at the conference, so I didn't see her throw the hot sauce, but I did see the bottle explode all over the stage and the people in front of me. My first response was to shut my MacBook Air. ;-)

An awkward tension hung in the air like a big stink bomb once everyone realized what had just happened. Noah managed to brush off the incident and continue his talk as if nothing happened. I'm sure I couldn't have continued so coolly if I were in his place.

I doubt any of us at the conference understand what was going through Anne's head at the time. I was confused by the whole incident, and figured she didn't want the hot sauce and was trying to playfully toss it back.

As for Noah's presentation, I thought parts of it were very low-class and out of place. My opinion of him as a person was lower at the end of his talk. That said, I did gain some valuable insights that have helped me focus better and improve my business.
Why wouldn't removing your own shadow from the shot fall under the stated provision that "minor adjustments in Photoshop are acceptable?" The AP's policy clearly states that adjustments are allowed as long as they attempt to "restore the authentic nature of the photograph". Removing your shadow from an unimportant area of the picture seems to fall under that caveat.

I'm not saying the AP are wrong here, but the photographer's actions seem consistent with stated policy, and as such banning him for life seems like quite an overreaction. Can anyone who knows more about photography explain why this isn't the case?

Not sure I'd use this explanation to convince any normals of anything if I would in fact try to convince them, but I think the reason that Fb took off beyond the early adopters is that there was a conversation taking place without them on Fb, which had become the post-email convention, and as social creatures they felt the inherent need to become a part of it and share/friend/poke accordingly, just like everyone else was doing, but I don't see that same need present with G+, aside from shiny new thing, and without the aura of exclusivity (friending), I see no value that normals would derive from it, especially if content producers continue to share among various communication networks.

I'll be the first to admit that I made a lot of new connections, strengthened current ones or reignited friendships based on the social need to be a pat of Fb, but after four years of Fb, I'm pretty sure that I won't carry that type of loose social activity forward and use G+ exclusively as an information share/catalog with my professional peers.

tl;dr: I hope my donkey friends don't follow me on G+ nor request a follow-back. I have enough cringe-inducing moments already.
My wife was the same way.

With regards to the original blog post, I think holes are a stupid analogy since holes by definition can't overlap without modification. Personal Venn diagrams is what you should be going for, with the key being that your Venn diagram might contain some of the same people as the next guy's Venn diagram, but there will almost certainly be differences/gaps, too.
I used Dreamhost once, after I ended my hosting to move to a VPS, they locked me out of my administration panel completely. I still had my domain with them, but no access to it, and the website actually told me that I needed to open a hosting plan to get access. I had to go through their support process to get access (or really, to transfer out, there was no way I was staying after that).

I immediately transferred to Moniker - they're great, they let you configure absolutely everything. I think what I learned was to stay away from companies that do both domains and hosting. If they just do domains, they understand that you are always going to be sending your traffic elsewhere.

Disruptive commercial applications come from small businesses for obvious reasons. This may just be perception bias in the end.

The amount of innovative R&D that is implemented and commercially applied by large companies is nothing to sneeze at. Of course, the best examples of such behavior probably comes from outside the IT sector, in more traditional engineering disciplines (think e.g. car manufacturing (outside the US, maybe)).
There is a difference between the DOJ asking you to provide access to information and asking you to provide the information itself.
Thankfully that is not how truecrypt works. The volume would be reported as the full 2TB (or however large the container is), it is up to you to not use all the space (which you could do, it will just silently start overwriting the hidden volume.

Devil's advocate: Logo is too busy. Drop everything but the final JS-inside-a-hex. Make that your logo. The hex is a node. You are a node. Your logo is a hex.

Obviously, you lose a lot by leaving out the "node" word from your logo. But, it becomes much more recognizable. Much more unique. It really depends on how you want to use the logo - if most of your applications will be a logo-as-a-link, it doesn't really matter. People can just click on the logo and go to your site.

> ID’s are extremely useful and you absolutely should use them.

Well, read on in that provision:

"These include cropping, dodging and burning, conversion into grayscale, and normal toning and color adjustments that should be limited to those minimally necessary for clear and accurate reproduction (analogous to the burning and dodging previously used in darkroom processing of images) and that restore the authentic nature of the photograph. Changes in density, contrast, color and saturation levels that substantially alter the original scene are not acceptable. Backgrounds should not be digitally blurred or eliminated by burning down or by aggressive toning. The removal of ³red eye² from photographs is not permissible."

It's pretty clear that he can't modify the background of the image, or really do anything he couldn't do in a darkroom.
The same thing happened with a Network Solutions hosting plan I had. They auto-renewed me when I had over one month before renewal. Their service had been horrible on Drupal sites. Just the DNS resolution to my hosting account was taking 2-3 seconds. I enlisted an up-time monitoring service and found that my site was down frequently even while I was paying for this renewal I did not want. Shame such a dominant company in the 90s has basically laid the road map for shady hosting.

>None of those are reasonable or reliable indications that he/she is lying about having forgotten a password.

I agree fully, forgetting passwords happens. My AD account at work has a short, random password with a forgiving lifespan. Even though I have to enter it a few dozen times a day, following the long weekend I had for the 4th it took me 5 minutes of sitting at my desk before I remembered enough to make a few guesses at it.

If I went more than a week or so without opening my encrypted partition, the password is long, complicated and changed frequently enough that I will most likely forget it. I currently only know it by muscle memory.
'white knights' is a 4chan term. It originated on /b/ when women/girls would show post nude/revealing pictures of themselves, and then Anonymous (presumably male) posters would attempt to 'dox' them (hack their accounts; email their friends/family/school with the nude photos; etc). The 'white knights' were the guys that would defend them (e.g. warn them if they didn't know their images were on 4chan; login to a hacked account, change the password, and notify the owner so that other anonymous posters couldn't continue to 'have fun' with the account; etc). The stereotypical portrayal of internet 'white knights' are lonely geeks that can't get women who think that by defending them on the internet they might get laid (or at least a date/a kiss/etc). Obviously the stereotype is most likely far from the truth, and there's probably some overlap between what /b/ users call 'moral fags' and 'white knights.' Note, that the 'white knight' label is usually only used when someone of unknown gender (which is assumed to be male) is helping out someone that is known to be a female. I don't think the 'white knight' label would ever be applied to someone helping out a target that was known to be male.

edit: There's probably something on Know You Meme and/or Encyclopedia Dramatica about this that may (or may not) be more authoritative.

We're not in a recession. Or if we are, we're not in a bad one.
There is a certain romantic man against the world sort of idea where I support this kind of privacy. Some kind of 1984 like scenario.. I'm thinking like someone writes some particular brand fiction for his own enjoyment, somehow it becomes illegal and he's now a criminal for his private thoughts or the contents of his private writings. Or practicing an outlawed religion in private or something. The reality of the most recent cases regarding this stuff is you've got some fairly petty thefts, child porn, and similar crimes. An investigation reached the point where a computer was seized, they drew suspicion,crimes may have been observed and recorded, it's not like they were randomly going through customs or pulled over by a police officer and the contents of their computer were requested. Are there any cases of note where the suspect or defendant has some sort of cause to champion?

If we accept that this encrypted space is protected by the fifth amendment, then why won't we just regulate that encryption needs a "law enforcement access key" or make such encryption just illegal? You can make a very compelling case that it's not serving any public good if you can list off criminals and crimes that have gone free because of it. That would make the very use of encryption potentially becomes a crime regardless of the encrypted information content. Is that not the logical next step?

I'll assert what I've asserted many times, here and other places: if you're breaking the law for some ideological reason and keep encrypted electronic records of it, you're way better not going to court and not being on any police or prosecution's radar than just banking on the encryption holding. Pirating movies on bit torrent isn't exactly civil disobedience either, that would mean doing so openly and publicly.
It's just not clear to someone with no photographic knowledge. Can't you do that sort of blurring or lightening of a shadow chemically, albeit with a steady hand?

Perhaps the principle is simply that the AP doesn't want to expose itself to a slippery slope by allowing an innocuous violation of the policy to go unpunished. Again, I'm not saying they're wrong for doing so - I just don't know enough about photography to say with certainty "yes, this guy f'ed up and should never work again."

So obviously they should disable auto-renew by default and start emailing you the day before expiry, right?

Except that's nuts -- many of their customer's certs would lapse before they renewed. That's so bad that most sites should even put up with the extra 30 bucks to reduce their risk.

Sure, they could throw $4B into a lobbying campaign against software patents. But there's no great reason to think it would be successful, and it probably wouldn't have any effect on previous patents. On the other hand, that would make a hell of a warchest for defending themselves in infringement suits...
It helps in the sense that VCs often need to invest a certain minimum sum of money or prefer to invest more thus giving better terms in this case.
If the company isn't strapped for cash it can be beneficial to allow the VC to attain a higher share through selling founder or angel shares instead of just diluting all parties equally.

I'm not persuaded by public polling on these issues for the very reason that you point out: the hypocrisy in their demands. The public super majorities that you speak of are also much too casual observers of the political process to understand what any of this means in isolation. Hell, over 60% of the public doesn't even _want_ the US to raise the debt ceiling (I forget the exact number cited in the press conference, but it was in the 60s). This is despite the fact that the leadership of both parties has acknowledged it needs to happen to avoid disaster.

I'm also not sure the cuts are as immediate as you say. I can't find any details on what is being negotiated (both leaderships and Obama have refused to give specifics), but on the revenues side for example, Obama said today that even the tax increases that are being talked about wouldn't come into effect until 2013. If they are talking about raising the retirement age or restructuring Medicare, I wouldn't rule out that it would take place over time or have a grandfathering period.

I agree that the debt ceiling and deficit reduction discussions should be separate, but the ship sailed on that a while ago, so all of the above is written from the perspective of dealing with this stuff in the present context.
If it something like OpenMP (meta language on top of general purpose one) then I can see it, but if it's something that forces one to write always AMP code in the same language, then it would get messy very fast. I much preffer #pragma opm parallel for, rather than parallel_for<> and some syntax that would try to get into the original language.

Let's turn it around to the best of our ability (by looking for something that has a similar social effect and not merely the same behavior) and test that definition: A lot of men feel extremely uncomfortable because of their gender when women mention menstruation or menopause. Are women who talk about those topics sexist?

(I'm not saying it's a good thing to talk the way Noah did. But I don't feel that "momentarily inconsiderate of others' feelings" is the same thing as "sexist." One is a bad behavior that could come from any number of reasons and the other is a deep-seated mindset.)

Considering where we are, that's quite unlikely. It's possible, of course.

> I've met Players.* I think it's overrated as a lifestyle. They typically don't know how to love, they just know how to get laid, and meeting someone who treats them like a human being (instead of a piece of meat) seems to frequently change their priorities.

You can't claim you wouldn't want to be able to have sex with lots and lots of hot girls whenever you want to, and it's logical that a player would (eventually?) find someone to really be with.

> And I have no idea what would cause you to infer I'm jealous/envious.

They can't hold you forever (except maybe in enemy combatant like scenarios), much like if you picked up a girl from a club at midnight, and no one ever saw her again. Your claim is you dropped her off at her apartment at 3am, but there's no evidence of it. They can ask you what they want, but w/o more evidence they can't just lock you up forever.

But with more evidence, for example, if they find IMs where you mention that you've hidden something in hidden volumes, they may have more options open to them.

I guess my point is that this seems to fall into standard practice, more than this being a one off rule specific to hidden volumes.
I was definitely not expecting an article about useful GCC options to mention -trigraphs. The -ansi option isn't particularly useful either, imo, since just about every interesting program is going to do something crazy like open a network socket or list the files in a directory.
