CDN = content delivery network.

If you used one server it would be a static asset server not a CDN.

CDN's have the benefit of being all throughout the world so you get the benefit that the CDN will serve the asset from the closest physical location to the user. Also your assets are redundantly stored in separate locations.

Amazon s3 is too easy not to just use it. Even something as huge as dropbox essentially runs on s3. I'd say use s3 until you can't use s3 anymore.

... why not do exactly that; but ALSO have a guest account, and prey installed. (Also re: not instantly formatting; put firmware and/or hard drive passwords on to slow them down -- most thieves are not computer experts)

I think you under-estimate the speed and hassle of dealing with insurance.

Also most insurance has a deductible. You're still out typically hundreds of dollars.

I had a macbook pro of one of our employees stolen. We used prey to get it back, with assistance from the police. Yes we have corporate insurance, yes we backup our data; but we were still very pleased to receive our stolen property back.
This is similar to our tax dollars. Pay in, and others use them as fast as possible. No matter how much money was put on Jonathan's card, people were there to take it.
Also Sony did a few things that make them a difficult choice, like distributing root kits. Last time I tried one of their notebooks it was also loaded with crapware to the rim - and it was a high end model, too.

LG Xnote P220
LG Korea has officially unveiled its new ultra thin laptop series known as the LG Xnote P220 comes with a 11.6-inch screen as predecessor to LG P210.
The heart of LG XNote P220 is an Intel Core i3/i5 “Sandy Bridge”, along with 2GB/4GB of RAM and a hard disk 250GB/320B.
Yes, the new filevault does make things tricky in this sense... however its just a matter of time til someone improves prey project to install to the new OSX Lion un-encrypted install (the one your system boots to, and prompts you to enter your credentials, before booting into the encrypted drive).

There's apparently a safari browser-only mode which can be activated from the login screen there.

This would create the ideal scenario for the stolen laptop: Thief without the knowledge or ability to reformat (particularly if you've slowed them down further with a firmware password) can only use the safari-browsing guest mode; can't get to your full encrypted drive, and Prey is recording and sending off everything they're doing.
Yes that one can be tough to explain, especially after the Dropbox "magic". Still it's a very valid use case that clearly highlights the tradeoff between "in the cloud, so always available, but at a monetary and potentially privacy price" and "not in the cloud, so as unrestricted free and secure as you make it, but needs a reachable peer".

It's not as fire-and-forget as Dropbox so I don't see everyone using AeroFS, but there are quite a bunch of non-techies that can get it and could be very interested in such features.
Heh, probably the books are ready to go, they've just been waiting for the official word. There's be new editions of all the old standards: "Yet More Effective C++", "Exceptional C++11" ... I can't wait :)

My bad. It was a 60 GB SSD. And, truth be told, it was a crap SSD when I bought it, and it doesn't support TRIM commands. I'm shocked it's been so stable. I did do the suggested SSD tweaks to the registry when I installed the OS.

I recently bought a 120GB SSD for a server I'm building, and I've had 120GB on the brain. Sorry.

If the GIL bites you, it's most likely a warning that your program is badly written, independent of the GIL issue.

Ah, that old line again.

Translation: "We really don't like to even think about changing this crappy design that we started with in the first place, because we can just explain ourselves out of it by coming up with suitable language goals that don't actually require concurrent access to the interpreter. Not accessing the interpreter concurrently is one of our language goals because you can do everything else. So, if you think you still need to get rid of GIL then you're just a bad programmer and your programs are badly written because hey, we just defined the universe you're playing in."

sincerely I don't know if is comparable the virtual function's overhead with the reflexion's overhead.

Stroustrup answered a question about reflexion in this interview[1]:

Have you ever considered adding reflection to C++?

BS: Often. However, I have not seen an approach to full reflection directly supported by a language that didn't cause serious overheads. Also, reflection seems to encourage styles of programming that make it hard to determine what's going on from the source text and discourage static checking. I see that as a problem. Consequently, the C++ RTTI provides only the minimal information to determine the types of objects at run time. Where necessary, this can be used as a handle for more information about types (classes), but any such information is beyond what the standard guarantees[2].

This is more or less what I've been saying.

Ambiguity was my claim initially if you read back.

Clearly you have a handle on DMCA take down notices that I don't. How, if an ambiguity in license isn't sufficient, does the DMCA protect from malicious take down notices. If what you say is true then it appears that one can simply submit a DMCA take down notice and the carrier is always required to remove the content without and need to demonstrate that it is infringing.

Obviously it's fine to remove content that is questionable, within ones ToS, but we're not looking at that.
Move to the Valley, get valley investors. Do deals with American companies, focus your product on the USA more. Try attracting/optimising for American search traffic/users more. Aim to get Americans using your site to find, research, and comment on their travel abroad. America is a test bed for the world and THE BEST at building, then exporting brands. Why make a hard job harder? The above may seem hard, crazy to you even, but the alternative option seems harder and crazier to me.

On a seperate note friend, pick your chin up! I like your site and idea.
There's no reason the meta structures couldn't be completely seperate from the regular type system and method dispatch. All that's needed is a couple of function pointers. I think the impact on performance could be zero.
I dont agree with that. If I stole a loaf of bread to feed my family, that is a very different ethical proposition to stealing a loaf of bread to feed some ducks.

If I rob a bank and give the money to a family who desperately needs it, I am a very different person from the person who steals it to purchase a ferrari.

Legally , there may be no difference. Ethically and morally there is a huge difference in my opinion.

>Are you likewise surprised by the fact that people don't like the guy who comes up to the bowl labeled "Free Candy" and takes all of the candy //

Well it's like a guy coming up to a bowl of free candy in a place where everyone already has their pockets stuffed with candy, then going to some other place where people haven't got any candy and giving the candy to them.

Oh and the kicker, the guy who took all the free candy made sure, it seems, that the candy bowl was stocked up already and didn't take any more candy than was put in by his friend.

... and then there was uproar, because dammit, giving that free candy to people without any candy was not part of the intention of the sign "free candy", the people fervently agreed that free candy should only be for those who have lots of candy already.

Then people posted abusive messages because they hated being pointed out to that giving free candy to people with lots of candy was probably not really as generous as all that ... or something.

>as a researcher, leave a car in a bad neighborhood overnight //

I think you have to label the car "free car" leaving all the doors unlocked and with the keys in the ignition.

Then when someone sells the car and gives the money to charity everyone organises a lynch mob it seems because apparently selling the car wasn't part of the experiment you expected it to be driven.

Of course experiments are best when they have unexpected outcomes and it would be unexpected in a "bad neighbourhood" for someone to act altruistically in this way with a free car.

I get the impression that it's becoming easier to knock together a linux system on a custom motherboard build around ARM.

I have a project where I'm trying to get USB-to-ethernet to work for pandaboard. But I'd prefer to have two ethernet adapters on the board.

If it's becoming straightforward to built these platforms, how long until you can just go to a website, click some checkboxes, and order a set with the features you want?

Update: another issue. If you're running several of these things, you need multiple DC adapters plugged into the wall. This seems like waste - it would be useful to have a single power unit with multiple leads. Does anyone have ideas about getting such a unit?
> "Abuse" is a relative term.

No, it's not.

> Denso may not have introduced error correction for the use case of inserting aesthetic elements into the barcode, but hey, it works.

Error correction was introduced because the physical media degrades and even in the best case capture is not ideal. Therefore error correction is a requirement to correctly round-trip digital information printed on an analog media. By abusing error correction mechanisms for cutesy purposes you increase the chances of complete digitalization failure significantly, sometimes (if you use all available error correction) to the point where the tag can only be scanned under absolutely perfect conditions.
I use phantomjs + jqyery for my own scraping/testing engine so I thought I would chuck in some extra information for those not familiar with PhantomJs.

The one thing that set phantomjs apart is that is it a full headless webkit browser rather than just an html parsing engine which most other solutions are. The big win with the above in mind is that you can scrape and test comet/heavy javascript apps without having to mock the polling or submit/responses.

I run it like a bot controlled by NodeJs with NowJs sending commands to it and it returning the results of tests, though I believe there are plans to get process to process communication working to make the process of controlling and pushing data out easier.

Rather than having an increasingly small portion of the population work 40 hours (and often much more) a week to provide for the living of all members of the population, why not have more people work for less time?

I understand that there are forces at play that make this difficult, but if we are willing to steal from some people to give money to others it seems like we would be morally no more wrong to say that people may only work some smaller number of hours a week from now on, with this and that exception for emergencies.

If you and Sam are related, then I suspect you are only 'donating' money into the card because Sam can get it straight out again, free publicity?
I've thought about this. Unless a sort of one-way glass LCD screen is invented I don't really see how it's possible.
He highlighted a very obvious flaw in an 'experiment', and under the guise of such outstanding altruism proceeded to exploit said flaw to net over $500. To further his noble and honest cause he then published code and instructions on github to make the flaw even easier to exploit and allow other people to join in. He legitimised it.

To try and ease his mind over the implications of this, two justifications are offered:

1. his script only works when the card contains at least $50 (not that it's hard to change), at which point it's ok to proceed.

2. his own exploited proceeds will be donated to a charity that pulls sufficient heartstrings to hammer his point home (accompanied by sympathetic picture). However, of the $600+ he siphoned, there is no certainty that the balance taken will be the balance donated. Because it's on eBay.

Further to that, it's a shockingly cynical move. This guy isn't donating his own money to charity. He's taken everyone else's money, laundered it a bit through eBay (with requisite fees applied), and then donated whatever he gets from that.

Maybe he fancies himself as a modern day Robin Hood, sneering as he does at the typical Starbucks clientele. His methods and justifications are worthy of whatever criticism they get.

> explicit strong nullptr constant; no more NULL macro nonsense

What is the point of this? C++ defines the null pointer to be always 0. So I never needed the NULL macro in C++ anyway, as I'm allowed to simply type 0 instead.

In how far is that new nullptr constant preferable to writing simply 0?

No there is not.
To give away your own money is charity, it's good.
To give away money that you stole from someone else is immoral. And then if you say that you are moral, it's not only stupid but also douche-y.

Oh and to steal to feed your own family is a different case altogether. You are not acting like a pretentious douche.

I'm running around advocating Ubuntu to non-tech savvy people (friends, family) and everyone who had it installed is completely satisfied with it, because the essentials (Browser, Skype) work very well. And seeing that I can't help but wonder when it will reach the tipping point where you'll see the Ubuntu-desktop on more and more computers and, gasp, even on TV.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_system... there's still a long way to go, but I'm optimistic. And yeah, I really enjoy Unity. I'm a Mac user 50% of the time and an Ubuntu user the other 50. And after learning some shortcuts I actually miss Ubuntu features in Lion. Let's hope they continue improving..

It's all about compile time warnings and static type information. The resulting code should be the same whether you're using 0, NULL or nullptr.
You might be a different person if you steal for poor family and not for a ferrari, but not in the way I think you're implying. You would use the money differently, but still you would be a thief.

Also, this behaviour doesn't scale. If everyone was allowed to steal bread because he/she is hungry, the whole trading system would probably collapse and make everyone hungry.

Interviewstreet (YC S11) looking for marketing geeks
Interviewstreet is disrupting the recruitment space and create a place where the best hackers get the best jobs. The current system of screening by resumes, head-hunters, etc. is inefficient, highly time consuming and lazy. We're changing that!

In just 1 week, we've signed up tons of customers (Facebook is one of them!) and have over 200+ companies on the beta invite list which we are slowly rolling out. We've got loads of hackers solving challenges and the number of hackers is steadily growing at 10-15% per day!

This space is so exciting and revenue rich (each hire is worth $15K, you make 60-70 good matches and your revenue hits $1M!!). We've some interesting business models that can be applied on top of the existing framework.

The participation is across the world (China, Europe, Russia, Oman) and hackers overseas have started getting interview calls from companies in the valley [http://bit.ly/pYXF3H] - this is pure disruption.

We're looking for enthusiastic people (marketing geeks) with an entrepreneurial bent of mind, who are driven by metrics and can help us expand the service rapidly to schools, other countries, deeper into valley, etc.

You're definitely in at the most exciting startup in it's growth phase. If interested please mail 'your biggest hack in marketing you've done' to vivek AT interviewstreet DOT com. Happy to chat!

"If you rob a bank, does giving the money to charity make it right?"

Well, there is the Robin Hood appeal that he only stole from the rich. Robin Hood (in the movies) gets away with that because the rich are also evil and due to the time difference, obviously not 'us'.

In this case, I think the fact that he stole from people like 'us' is causing the problem. I think people would react differently if this card were held by Mexican drug lords.

I guess reactions to this wealth distribution differ according to the measure in which one a) relates to these Starbucks customers, b) finds said Starbucks customers somewhat guilty for being (relatively) rich and not doing enough for helping out the poor, and c) finds the Salvation army a good enough way to help out the poor (what if his charity would be the famine in Africa?)

Our opposition mainly comes from the idea that threading is not worth it; the gains in parallelism don't make up for the maintenance and debugging costs.
The first card is on ebay, (obviously reaching the 500 dollar limit was not enough to expose the vulnerability so he had to take 2 cards - or possibly more that he isn't saying?), where the money will be donated less the Ebay fees and where he describes it as 'a social experiment where yuppies buy other yuppies coffee'.

I think the point was missed in his description. I think the experiment was about being generous and spreading goodwill, and the coffee was just a medium for passing that on. I am happy to see that this positiveness has spread on in the JonathansCard facebook comments, for example people buying a free lunch for strangers.

Sam Odio destroyed this positive spirit. How do we know 625 is the total amount that was taken? The blog post mentions 'him (and others)' indicating a group of people taking money. I would like a record of all the 'thefts' so I could line it up with the transaction log from Jonathan's card.
