I think you might be mistaken.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash-only_software

Erlang is a computer language originally built by Ericsson for fault-tolerant telephone switches. Programs are structured as modules that can be replaced (hot swapped) without having to restart the entire program. If a module crashes or needs to be updated it can be restarted or replaced without affecting any other part of the program. Within the Open Telecom Platform, which often is used together with Erlang, there exist frameworks to simplify and automate this task.

This will make more sense when services you pay for are free from this kind of stuff. As it is, well, people pay for cars now and look at all the outright ripoff crap people go through from mechanics who charge exorbitant amounts to do simple repairs, all the while leaving the car in the shop.
It seems to not be a "new offering", just "new documentation".
These people could well be innocent and in fact victims of anonymous directing attention away from itself and towards these innocent victims.

This is wishful thinking, but there is a sense in which it is true. People running LOIC are typically if not exclusively clueless mooks duped into doing so by people who know better.

For all the mythos around Anonymous "having no leaders", I doubt very strongly that you'll find many examples of people who spontaneously downloaded LOIC and started flinging packets at PayPal. Instead what you'll find is people who say they got the idea from an image posted on 4chan (or elsewhere) or from "some guy" on IRC.

All you have to do is convince someone to willingly join a botnet (or anything else) is that 1) this is a way to relieve their angst and 2) other people are doing it. The affidavit even includes examples of the kind of image instructions that accomplish exactly this. The "orders" spread as would memes, and the originators of those orders put themselves at almost no risk to distribute them, while "innocent" members of the herd get caught.
The treehouse in the bg is a nice touch.

I know quite a few men and women who violate these supposedly biological gender roles.

So do I, and that's irrelevant. There are lots of women who can bench press more than I can; that doesn't change the fact that men are on average physically stronger.

What's the actual background of your suggested possibility?

Biology. Specifically:

1. Hormones like estrogen and testosterone have known effects on psychology. In your gender neutral utopia, do you really expect women to commit 50% of assaults and murders?

2. Genes for red-green color reception are on the X chromosome. Women have two chances for a good copy and men only have one, which is why men are much more likely to be color blind. Is there any reason to expect that no genes that affect personality or mental capabilities work in a similar way?

3. Different selection pressures due to the mechanics of reproduction. Males can potentially have many more offspring than women, and each child costs them much less in time and resources. In terms of propagating their genes, males get a bigger payoff for taking gambles than women, so it would make sense that evolution would select for risk-taking males and risk-averse females. (And also explains why women are more selective when choosing mates). More detail in "Is There Anything Good About Men", http://www.psy.fsu.edu/~baumeistertice/goodaboutmen.htm.

Of course, none of this is to say that society doesn't have large effects, or that anyone should be discouraged from any field because of their gender. It just means that if less than half of preschool teachers are men and less than half of Linux kernel developers are women, it might not be because we're a bunch of sexist Neanderthals.
Crash-only is an aspect of Erlang, you've not replaced the entirety of what makes Erlang uniquely useful.

It sounds like he's asserting that userspace filesystems just aren't capable of the same performance as kernel-mode filesystems. What kinds of constraints make this true? Are they inherently so, or is it just that Linux is designed one way now and we'll be damned if we have to change it?

ntfs-3g uses fuse, and even though I wouldn't run my root fs on ntfs under linux, I've found that it meets my needs quite well.
Same said person, Quote: "I don't think Node will ever replace Erlang for what Erlang is good for. "

Also, credentials? Do you have to be famous to be able to comment on anything with any experience or knowledge? Have we become that obsessed with programmer pseudo-celebrity?

I'd expect as much from a nodejitsu member though, the team of relentless self-promotion.

Edit: For the record, what he said, is precisely what I'm trying to express. Please explain how that is incorrect.
Maybe I am just lazy, but I love it when I come across a problem I have to ask someone about, that usually means I can just kick it over to them and have them fix it for me.

Of course I spend half my time helping other teams, so they owe me dammit.

Forgot to mention, I also start warning people I am going to miss the deadline soon after I get the assignment. That makes it even more miraculous when I make the deadline. Don't worry, I thank all the little people who helped me while I take my victory lap.
Yeah, I was talking about Mango. I don't think Android 4.0 has been announced, but I will look into iOS 5. But if Mango hits before iOS 5, even if the iOS 5 browser fixes all the bugs and adds some HTML5 features, it will be hard to stack up to the desktop-class IE9.

This is an odd disparity between desktop and mobile because IE9 is definitely the worst HTML5-supporting desktop browser. But on mobile it's going to be top dog.
saurik, I don't think the timing on #4 and #5 are right; the same day that Limor's profile was suspended, I think the account name was still outside the common names policy.

For the record, I do want Google+ to support pseudonyms. I think Bradley's post showed that we want to get there too. But it's going to take some time, and in the mean time, my impression is that the Google+ folks are trying to keep fake/spammy/business profiles from getting out of control.
Update: Just after Disk Utility reported that the disk volume has been successfully repaired (yay!), I stumbled over this Apple Technote http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4522 which specifically says "Important: Do not use Disk Utility to erase, verify, or repair a Time Capsule disk." BOOM!

If your news site isn’t social, great design won’t matter
So I actually tried the product unlike 99% of commenters here and here is my feedback:

- The custom dropdowns made it more difficult for me to sign up because you can't use keys on the keyboard to jump to different locations in the lists like you can everywhere else.

- The mechanic to change the monthly payment I can afford on the plan you guys laid out for me was horrible. Clicking the arrow repeatedly to change a numeric value? At least having the option to edit it by typing would be nice. I had to click a lot to change the amount from $10,000 (which I initially input) to $300.

- I can't possibly take the plan seriously when one of the cons is "Risk of lawsuit" with no other details.

- Love the general concept. As someone with some debt, this could help me.

- It pulled up my debts FAST after I filled out the initial form. Almost frighteningly fast. I was impressed, then pretty worried that you might be skirting laws and regulations surrounding pulling this type of information. With nothing more than my SSN and basic personal details (address, etc) you handed me very detailed information about my debts on a silver platter. Most companies verify the identity of a user before this step with some kind of an intermediate challenge step.

Keep on keeping on. Cool product idea.
A refresh for open government in British Columbia
This is true and welcome. But the stock browsers will be how the majority access web apps (until there's an absolutely huge gap in features and performance like IE when FF hit the scene, but that will be years in the making.) The point is that Google shouldn't rest on their laurels because alternatives exist. If that were the case, we wouldn't have any Google products.
Hotfile to Sue Warner Bros. For Abusing Its Anti-Piracy Tool
Newspapers are dying because it's expensive to produce content, there's serious downward pricing pressure on advertising, and they've had a really hard time getting their traditional small print advertisers to buy online ads. It's not even a given that an equilibrium price in online ads is enough to pay for content. Assuming a given article gets a $10/cpm and costs $100 to produce, they need 10,000 impressions to break even. It's crazy.

These things lead directly to the quality issues you're seeing. It's difficult to justify high end online content presentation when you can hardly afford to keep writers around. How many newspapers can really compete for engineering talent when there are sexier, better paying jobs at not-a-newspaper, inc?
All the relatively cheap installs are done. Running fiber is expensive.
The solution is very simple. Create a simple how to patent template website, then have every developer apply for patents on any business and software process that they can dream of. Within two years you'll choke the entire system into change. Make it impossible for anyone to do anything.

True. But the buggy stuff for games is still stuff the mobile web apps can use to enhance themselves, and bring them closer to native apps in features and even performance.

You don't specify what rules you play by, but Monopoly should only take 1-2 hrs max.

Hoard everything you can get hold of is a sure fire way to lose against experienced players. Income from non-monopolies is a pittance, so as soon as someone does manage to snag one and start building, you're stuffed.

I've found aggressive early trading to build up 3 houses each of orange or light blue will almost always guarantee a win, even if i don't own a single other property.
That's the trouble with child porn...when something is defined as "I know it when I see it", there's going to be a lot of cases incorrectly classified. This reminds me of Walmart child porn case http://trueslant.com/KashmirHill/2009/09/22/in-defense-of-wa...

To just highlight the difficulty of "what is child porn?" problem, it wasn't just Walmart's officials, but local police who took the complaint, prosecutor that initiated the case and probably a number of other officials in the pipeline who made incorrect determination

I imagine there must be some interesting business models (or sustainable non-profit model) for harnessing local bloggers and print media. I follow an awesome local blog about my city government. The blogger is SUPER passionate and documents all the local issues and city council meetings. My local newspapers cover few of these local issues, issues that problem more directly affect people than the national crisis of the week. Fortunately, a local paper hired (?) the blogger to write (or syndicate) her content for their paper (dead tree and website).
I worked out the plan (well, mostly just said "okay") when Nefario suggested coming out to Seattle to try and launch a Bitcoin Incubator.

Knowing him a little (over skype), I'm not surprised things went badly at the border -- he's got a sort of sweet naive / anti-banking system mix in his persona; from what he told me, it was a tough and stressful spot -- interrogation tactics at the end of two+ days of travel..

I'm bummed, though. I was thinking that it would be excellent to have a physical location for bitcoin development in the US as a sort of center of gravity. mckoss was kicking in some office space at StartPad, what wasn't to like?

I'm not clear now what a good plan would be.

If you can't even point in the direction of a fix, then there is the possibility that the food can't be made better. If it genuinely can't, I think you have to revisit the question of whether or not it sucked in the first place.

To take an extreme example, if you told me a debugger sucked because it couldn't predict in advance whether or not running your program would end with an exception, I'd tell you that you didn't have a reasonable or useful scale for debugger suckiness.
I am surprised that the rebuttal didn't attempt to refute any of the facts in the piece. I know the folks at TAL/NPR take their reporting and fact checking seriously, but I would expect IV to take some weaker part of the piece and try to discredit them.

Instead they are creating a false dichotomy of "patents can be good for inventors, so we can't be doing anything wrong"

My biggest stumbling block when trying to learn Haskell,
was that I could not find out what operators did, and every example program i tried to learn from had its own obscure set.

Even simple things like trying to find out what "$" does, are effectively impossible to search for. Constructs such as "||>" are a nightmare.

I finally progressed a little after finding a Haskell "cheat sheet" and reading it thoroughly.

The "cheat sheet" was 14 pages long, with three columns per page. And to top it off, it still didn't explain what many of the operators did, rendering whole sections illegible.

Still, like I say, it's the best learning resource I found.

http://cheatsheet.codeslower.com/ for the curious.

Here's the resolution: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/bvqdos That explains why providing the data back to the user was a delicate issue.
Averages here are worthless. Is that $300k with or without insurance factored in? (In Florida "General surgeons paid in between $90,000 per year and $175,000 per year or more. OB/GYNs once again could expect the highest rates, with liability coverage ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per year." Other states are less.) I'm told those in the medical profession have high salaries and correspondingly high insurance rates, which makes their salary much less than what it appears. There's also the cost of equipment if they need that. Similarly I'd like to control for location (which goes along with insurance costs anyway): a $60k job in the slums may be worth $100k in the Valley due to living costs alone.
Traditionally, the newspaper business was about delivering unique information quicker than other newspapers (or, in the case of local newspapers, delivering unique information that wasn't available elsewhere). Newspapers are dying because in an environment where instantaneous content delivery is done at essentially zero cost, fewer and fewer people are willing to pay for undifferentiated content. The author is confusing cause and effect - circumventing popup blockers and failing to invest into content formatting is most definitely the effect, not the cause.

Publications that have differentiated content (e.g. Wall Street Journal, NYT, Economist) seem to be doing just fine, but having thousands of papers that rehash the same content without any edge on each other whatsoever is just not sustainable given the current state of information technology.

EDIT: I only considered revenue from the subscribers, and ignored downward pressure on advertising revenue. The point still stands - the market can no longer sustain undifferentiated content (people don't pay for it anymore, and advertisers will pay less than before because they have better options), and differentiated content is probably a worse business than it used to be (people will pay for it, but the revenue from advertisers is still being diverted to Google).
For the people who land on this thread, here's how the issue was resolved: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/bvqdos The person whose account was suspended remarked about the image in question: "I too found the image bordering on the limits of what is legally permissible and hoped to highlight the fact that it is allowed to exist within a grey area of legality."
Honestly, if the patent office would just do their job and not grant bogus patents based on obvious inventions or inventions with prior art, that would probably be enough.

Software patents aren't the problem, bad software patents are the problem.

If your game of Monopoly includes very little decision making, you are playing it very wrong and it's no wonder you don't like it. I have gotten the absolute worst rolls, ended up with two properties and still managed to negotiate my way to a win. That means that other people were making poor decisions.

The imperfect information in Monopoly is what you're thinking in your head. I've traded things with two or three other trades in mind that the other person couldn't have known I was going after. Or, traded someone a Monopoly they thought was a good deal, then sold my hotels to use up the remaining houses so they can't develop it.

And, there is ABSOLUTELY a strategy shift for the opening and endgame. Don't believe me? Try to develop the Green monopoly first.
