I don't think "game theory makes the mistake of assuming its the only variable". Just like economics, we are simply modeling reality in some (limited) way and gaining some insight and conclusions from analyzing that model. The fault is for someone to apply those conclusions to reality without considering the assumptions made in the model.
It is more like C/C++.

The poll actually determined that the ~50% of those sampled who would make the switch are kids who have their parents added on Facebook.
I like the experiment. I'd be curious to see what the results would be in enterprise software.

One small optimization I can think of: if the first character isn't an 'f' or 's', you can skip 4 characters ( fseek(file, 4, CURR_SET) ). Similarly for ({'u','h'}, 2), etc. You'll save traversals, lookups, and comparisons, which would be a boon in larger directories.
Credit checks would probably weed out dysfunctional meth-heads. Also, college students and foreigners, but basic background/reference checks might address that. That's not easy or cheap, but security never is.

So they actually made you pay for a paid app that is installed on your iPad and that you updated through their system. Big deal!

That's hardly a bug of Apple, in my opinion. Installous should be hiding the cracked applications better, it's their bug. Maybe ask for a refund for Installous?
I am not an expert, nor a doctor, but the article being discussed said that Guanfacine causes sedation (and Wikipedia says it is indeed currently prescribed sometimes as a sleep aid) and that users might have to build up a tolerance to the drug to minimize its sedative effects.

Can't see more than the summary of the study you pasted, but it seems to suggest one single dose was tested per person. Wouldn't this maximise the sedative penalty?

Well, while I want my next Mac to be 15" MacBook Air, I really want to have an option to plug in external BluRay drive. I do watch BluRay movies, and I want to be able to watch them on my main laptop as well.
If the poll is somehow perfectly accurate then 50% of ~800 Million is still a pretty decent userbase.

But if Google give Facebook a chance to fearmonger about how Google+ users risk losing all Google services (including gmail history) without warning while simultaneously not allowing anyone with a Google Apps account to access the service without really cumbersome workarounds then Google+ will be remembered just like Google Wave is.
Well, afaik you travel a lot. Why don't YOU rent out your place via Airbnb?

The author should rewrite it as a Crab Canon.
A possible solution would be if AirBnB required hosts and guests to be friends on Facebook before a transaction could take place..this wouldn't prevent anyone from making a fake profile in order to seem more trustworthy, but this is an area where Facebook's privacy situation would be helpful. You can learn a lot about a person's character by examining his or her Facebook page.
Piracy is not justification.You should not pirate apps in first place. you are breaking law here.

First, I do not believe this is the place to make a stand about our trust in humanity. I believe that is best left to philosopher who has all of human discourse to use.

My argument rests on the fact that Airbnb is moving closer to the average. Airbnb is moving closer to the average in the sense that they are attracting more people. After several million bookings, the general booking population will look more like the average in terms of disabilities, crime, unemployment, and many other imaginable statistics. Airbnb may not be quite there, but they are certainly growing closer.

The question becomes, how to improve trust as Airbnb moves closer to the average?

One such way is to implement trust systems. One such way is their existing feedback systems for people who use Airbnb. Hosts and renters alike can rate each other across several factors. Over time, one can develop a reputation that is accepted as a "I will do no evil". Heck, Airbnb could even reward these people with lower booking rates / larger cut as host.

Trust systems are fine for those who have earned trust within the system. How does one bootstrap trust in an increasing paranoid system? There is a cost associated with this in the sense of gaining references or examining the social network of a first time renter. After such examination the responsibility relies upon some host to have an increasingly long conversation with a first time renter. This can be done before or after booking. However at the end of the conversation, one ultimately relies on their own judgement, which means the conversation can be gamed.

In a future, Airbnb could work with outside systems. Airbnb could work with criminal databases, social information, along with associated other signals. All these approaches hint at a big brother approach where Airbnb is the ultimate judge and jury on who can host and/or rent. I don't see Airbnb being very popular in this approach.

In the end, I think Airbnb has the responsibility to make things right in this situation. In the future I think they have the responsibility to make things right while their business model relies on the trust of their customers. Increase awareness and increase their own detection measures to the extent that they do not become big brother.

Ultimately, I think things like this will continue to happen. However, the success (or failure) of the Airbnb billion+ business will depend on their response to such future events. Continue to make the host (the supply) happy and Airbnb will do well.
"argued that putting an end to anonymity online could help curb bullying and harassment on the web."

Oh please like that stops bullying in real life

And I have to agree with Matthew Ingram:

"Many people believe that requiring real names will solve the problems of trolls and bad behavior, but they don’t"

My Facebook feed is nothing but people trolling each other. Right now this is one of the top threads:

Person X - ‎100% pomegranate juice is mad sour flavor

... reply 3 - pornogranate

... reply 5 - you asians always eat weird sh/t

Sure its friendly, but its reality, my friends do nothing but insult each other and take the piss out of each other all day long. Its just human nature.
Excuse me this naive question, I haven't been following the Airbnb, but how is there service better compared to say free Craiglist?
Seconded... have a basic excess so it is not worth claiming for your tv, price in a certain amount of fraud, and investigate large claims. It's just the usual insurance.

There would be plenty of large insurers happy to insure AirBnB (and the reinsurance would end up down the corridor from me).
I've been programming for about 17 years as a software engineer (full on programming almost every day) and last 10 years part time (as I fill a lot of other roles now). So, about 27 years total. I am guessing at least 20,000 hours at the computer.
Ok so the problem here is not that there is a bug in the payment processing. That shouldn't happen, but it does. The problem is that neither of these multi-billion dollar companies cares about this customer enough to suck up a $4000 error until it gets straightened out.

I've been a long time customer of both Apple and PayPal. It seems like Apple did eventually refund the purchases, although I would have expected them to do it faster. PayPal, on the other hand, literally does not give a shit about you or the fact that you can't eat until your transaction goes through their absurdly slow system.

Ever notice that Bank of America's ATMs can scan and process a check and give you money in 10 seconds, but PayPal takes 10 days?

I see two problems regarding the adoption of this device:

1) Non adapt for touch typists. In my opinion it would be very hard to find the home row without raised dots and the feeling of real keys.

2) Can increase the effect of repetitive strain injury (RSI). Hitting an hard surface isn't the same thing that hitting keyboard keys.
If you buy a stock from me, and I talk to 1000 more people just like you, who all buy more shares of the same stock, I will have a view that this stock is getting a lot of interest. Nothing illegal or criminal about that.

If you are in this position, you work in brokerage. You have this view, but since you don't work on the prop desk, you have no ability to act on it [1].

It is highly illegal for you to reveal this information to anyone working the prop desk.

The particular ones I remember were Bus shelter ads in the UK about a year ago. I think I might have made a mistake and be thinking of ads for a Samsung phone. From a distance, with the specific app grid layout and general colour distribution in the image they looked a lot like iPhones. See the image in this article:
http://mynokiablog.com/2011/04/19/itc-staff-recommends-sidin...
PS I haven't read the article, just found the image on google image search.
Don't forget that's 50% of around 6000 techies. In reality I would've thought at least 90% of those 800 million users are non-techies. Maybe they are doing lots of advertising in the states, however here in the UK I'm pretty sure I could ask most non-techies and they wouldn't have even heard of Google+.

It's the one thing that's going to make it tough to beat facebook now is that it's become a household name - most people have heard of it even if they haven't been on the site.

Pricing via accounts might be suboptimal, but pricing by tickets? This way the useless tickets of people having problems with third party software and still asking me for help will hurt me even more.

Not only do they waste my time then, they also waste my money.

And if I wanted to annoy somebody I knew was using a pay-per-ticket account, I could quickly write up a small script to submit thousands of bogus tickets.

Charging for a resource entirely under control of others and not at all under your control seems to be a bad thing for me.

Don't forget to mention that these numbers are in 1,000s of NIS (currently 1 NIS = 0.29 USD) per month.

Besides, except for "production manager" I don't think any of these salaries apply to Intel's production fab, where most employees are (skilled) production technicians.
This poll is inaccurate for many reasons:

- Poll audience is skewed (PCMag readership, people who showed up on the site that day)

- Just because people want to move to G+, doesn't mean they will, unless the rest of their social group does (again, back to point#1)

Not saying that Google + wont do well, or anything just that this poll is pretty much useless as reliable source to base any predictions on.

I would look at things like user engagement, activity etc - this is extremely anecdotal, but so far a lot of my circles (except for my close friends one) have been spammy with poor content filtering (facebook is good about surfacing posts from people i care about, but then again they have a lot more data about who i 'care' about)

My close friends circle has been pretty inactive and I check it maybe once a week, but that might be because there's only 30 people there. Most of my G+ activity over the last week has consisted largely of adding people into circles, and not much else, sadly.

I would also add that my social circles probably have a larger proportion of early adopters than the average user, since I studied programming & work in the software industry (and my social circles tend to reflect that).

I must admit I am also really nervous about merging my social & online identities into one account owned by one company, though the average person would not care about this.
Are people actually making long-term decisions based on that kind of obviously-too-simple model? That seems like cargo cult science to me.

I once rented out my apartment privately and it turned out to be a major mistake. I had just come home from surfing the Caribbeans and was sitting on a train going home from the airport when I got a job offer that would entail me moving halfway across the world.

I took the job and was basically on a plane in a week or two. I decided to save time by renting my apartment out fully furnished. My mom met some dude she thought looked OK and we rented it out to this guy. Turns out this was one shady guy. First month comes around, no rent. I call the guy and he comes up with an excuse, not wanting to really deal with this at the time I bought the excuse and was expecting two rents the next month. Next month comes along and no rent again so I get my friend to go into the apartment and he opens the door only to find basically everything I owned stolen.

After calming down I found the guy on facebook and then reported him to the police, they couldnt do much seing as the guys excuse was that he had left the apartment and dropped the key into the mailbox so someone else must have fished it up and opened the door and stole everything.

tl;dr I rented out my apartment and got everything I own stolen and the police didnt manage to do anything.

What did I learn from this? ALWAYS get a deposit. 2-3 months rent up front. Have insurance, have friends that are able to go check up on the place from time to time. And dont leave anything valuable in the apt when renting it out.

And this is why I will never ever use a service such as Airbnb, no control.
> this is a very generous exception they are making this one time and that all app store purchases are final

Statements like this make me very glad I live in a country where such declarations are automatically fiction.
> Also; I believe that 70% of all Google+ users and Facebook users are likely to join iFriends.com (surveyed from Apple users)

For a moment I thought "What? When did I miss Apple coming out with their own social network?" and so I checked iFriends.com; all I have to say is I wasn't really surprised at what I saw.
So, they made you pay for what you should have paid for in the first place. This may be a bug, but I'd rather say karma ;).

If you're going to rent out a fully furnished apartment full of valuables to strangers who you can't vet beforehand the insurance costs will be significant.

I have a feeling AirBnB don't offer insurance because the premiums required (and the cost passed on to hosts) would make the entire thing unprofitable.

Hotels have insurance but it is probably much much lower than what AirBnB could provide to hosts because hotels already have a) security infrastructure in place b) your credit card details and c) your agreement to be held liable for damages.

To be fair, everything in the banking & money transfer world takes 2-3 days, and Paypal acts as a middleman, so an in => out would take 4-6 (business) days.

The only reason Bank of America's ATM gives you cash on the spot is it scans the check, "thinks" it is good, and BoA credits you cash. Paypal is not in the business of crediting anyone anything, not in the least because anybody can sign up for an account with almost no identification.
