It's probably a good idea to involve the police in this case. If your problem is that OkCupid is giving out your home address, why should they solve that problem by giving you someone's IP address? That doesn't make sense; you could be just as much of a whacko as the guy that posted your address. Two wrongs don't make a right.

The correct way to address this problem is, I think, to file a police report. Then they will give the information to trained law enforcement officials that can act on that information in an appropriate manner. (I've been on the other side of this before; someone on Slashdot didn't like a comment I made. Several months later, the Secret Service is at my front door with a list of questions they needed answered. A little scary, but the best possible outcome. I'd rather have trained federal agents after me than some psychopath with a sawed-off shotgun. But maybe that's just me.)

Anyway, OkCupid should absolutely take action on this, but I think it's best if you don't take it personally. Let the professionals solve your problem. They'll do a better job because they have access to better tools and have better training.
I can doubt some of the more specific claims, but it would be a fairly remarkable result, unlike almost any other area of human activity, if there weren't some sort of person-to-person variation in the [(amount person X gets out of a textbook) - (amount person X gets out of a video on the same subject)] function. The alternative would be the hypothesis that learning ability varies in a 100% correlated manner (people who are more skilled at picking up physics from physics textbooks are exactly as more-skilled at picking up physics from physics videos, and vice versa).

Even if you ignore the visual/textual/etc. distinctions, they have other properties as media; for example, textbooks are easier to use in a random-access/skimming manner than videos, and can be more easily taken outside or marked up. It could just be my concentration, but I also can't get through watching a YouTube video, while somehow I have no trouble reading through a book.
The flip side of this is that if you are down by a little bit, you should not allow your opponent to slowly and confidently increase his advantage (unless you think he'll make little mistakes and lose the advantage; that would probably mean you're better than him, and we're probably not talking about that situation). Instead, you should force a big risky fight in which your opponent has a substantial chance of losing, if that's possible.

Along similar lines, chess grandmaster John Nunn wrote, in Secrets of Practical Chess, that when you are down, you have two basic strategies: "grim defense" and "create confusion". If you are, say, a pawn down, it may still be possible to draw if you make no mistakes; your opponent will have to work hard to force a win, and he may even get impatient and try to win quickly with a risky strategy; this is "grim defense". If that strategy is unappealing (if his advantage is simple to consolidate and exploit, or if you don't feel like slow and careful defense), then you may opt to do risky things to create complicated, high-stakes positions and hope your opponent makes a mistake; this is "create confusion".
It's not an either/or thing. It's not good for Mr Avitable to repost his home address. And OKCupid's security and abuse processes are lacking.
Not wanting your address public is one thing. Not wanting your address published along with a call to break, enter, and commit rape is another. Perhaps the former wish pales before the importance of discussing the latter.
The one thing I would disagree with is that Github's issue tracking still needs some serious love (although it has improved significantly since launch).

Mainly I would say that it works great for projects with relatively few contributors (like most Ruby gems), but seems to fall apart on very large projects (like Rails, who uses Lighthouse for issue tracking). Everything else about Github is amazing, though.
I agree that his request for the IP address of the person who made him "gayassfuck guy who wants to be raped" is a bit silly, but on the other hand his tone is appropriate. Just imagine finding yourself in his position, would you approach it lightly?

I know I would went hulk mode. You don't want to see me when I'm angry. (green and oversized, too :)
That's a good question. I can't point to published figures, since the 2.7 runtime is still fairly new, but I can say that based on both my personal experience and based on fairly basic reasoning, the per-thread memory overhead is definitely a lot less than what's required by the whole instance. The entire of the Python standard library, along with your framework and other libraries, are shared overhead between all the threads.

The issue with charging by CPU hour was that you could occupy memory-seconds as much as you wanted without charge; that's no longer the case - by charging for instances, we're implicitly charging for the memory they use.

As far as determining how many instances you run - you can do this to a large degree, both by setting budget limits, and by setting scheduler parameters.

I can kind of understand that the original person was somewhat in the wrong (although to a much lesser degree) but not the person relaying the message. Journalists do this kind of thing all the time, report something that later turns out to be wrong.
You should be glad they have that registration flaw. Consider this scenario:

OkCupid does require email validation, and the attacker still makes the false account under your name with your photo and all the same information, and simply emails you a link to it. Same exact thing. It doesn't even look like your email address is visible on the page. All that OkCupid's flaw served as here was an instant forward of the page to you which you should actually be grateful for. Imagine the attacker wasn't able to use your real email and in fact never did email you the link to it, this page would be up on OKC unbeknownst to you because OKC wouldn't have emailed the confirmation to you.

While the attack was a pretty messed up idea, I feel you completely over-reacted. You are way too enthusiastic, publicly, about wanting to get revenge on OkCupid, who really didn't do anything wrong. I would rethink the subheading with which you chose to adorn your Twitter background.

People will always misuse technology. A website can't be sued for having a loophole in its registration system. That's just stupid. However, a person could be sued for attempting to anonymously recruit crazy people (the only type who would think the original post is real and go through with the request) to break into your house.
I wonder about the future of shops in general. It is nice to be able to see some products in reality before you buy them, but even now it is typical to seek shopping advice in a shop, then order from the cheapest internet vendor.

Could it be viable to create "look only" shops that only facilitate online sales? Maybe a lot of producers would even be willing to hand out the display merchandise for free?

"Together these research sources demonstrated that although SES exerted statistically significant direct and indirect effects on reading, oral language skills – especially oral language comprehension skills – were a much stronger influence on reading achievement outcomes."

In other words, you want to choose a definition of SES that predicts how the parents interact with the children before age five, as it's not (mostly) income or race that creates the achievement gap. E.g. just separate the parents into welfare, working class, or professional, like Hart & Risley do in Meaningful Differences. I think in order to understand how SES effects the achievement gap, you need to choose a definition of SES that is broad and qualitative rather than quantitative and limited.
This still avoids the question. You ask whether they create 'real value' without defining what 'real value' is.
So you're positing that it's in a significant % of cases possible to fly business at less cost than economy? If so, you'll need to back it up, because it's a very bold claim to make.

I'm sometimes a semi-intense reader of SF, but I always buy paperback simply because the hardcover form factor is completely and utterly impractical.

For years, my main reading environment was on the subway, commuting to college and (later) work. A paperback is trivial to stuff into a bag, while many of the hardcover editions that come out first look as if they're supposed to be in the Grand Temple of Reading, preferably on a dedicated 100% smooth marble table or something.

I don't know how many times I've been to my preferred SF bookshop, spotted instance n of book series m finally on the shelves, hefted it, and though "nope, this is unusable, I'll wait". Then, six months later the paperback is out, and gets bought.

I think (I don't know since I've never tried it) I would be ready to pay more for a paperback at the date the hardcover is out. Maybe not hardcover price, but perhaps 50-80% more than what the paperback will cost, once out.
Agree. Hosting and bandwidth costs are just a part of the total costs of running an online service, besides development, customer support and marketing costs.

"In other words, if the cost to serve a customer (support aside) is zero, the long-term price of the product in the market will be zero (because of competitive pressure)."

I can't think of any large scale operation where the cost to serve a customer is zero. Sites like Google, Facebook and YouTube have massive operational expenses that they struggle to cover with aggressive advertising.

Of course, the freemium model works very well for many companies. Nevertheless - "zero marginal cost" is an illusion.

But there is no mystery! All successful business people have the one same trick. Warren Buffet put it best:

Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.

I mean, can it be said any more clearly? The problem is, much like putting chocolate cake in front of a fat man on a diet, telling a CEO that they shouldn't take the quick buck because staying the course will yield greater returns in the long term...well, I guess you can imagine how well that works.

Ultimately the lack of email confirmation is a minor detail and not even relevant since it had no impact on the perpetration (except notifying the victim and enabling him to log in).

But I don't think that takes away from the complaint that OKC should have replied to the victim.

E-ink is what makes the Kindle for me, it is such a pleasure to read off a screen that does not feel 'electric'. The months of battery life are nice too. I also don't get how TechCrunch has the e-ink devices being the 'lower cost' models, my DX was around $650, way more than this device.

Lastly, I wonder how the rumored browser will work and how it will affect the pricing model. 3G connectivity is free with current Kindles. That works for Amazon because you only ever use the network to download books, and the Kindle browser is restricted essentially to wikipedia. If unrestricted browsing means I will have to pay subscription for a 3G data connection that will be a major pain in the ass compared to now. Particularly since I do not want to browse the web on my Kindle, I have better options for that.

"My opinion is backed up with experience that problems end up being caused by people choosing "mastercard" but entering a visa number (for example)."

I can back this up and I am pretty far way from being ignorant on this matters. The problem is that some on-the-fly internet credit card generators (like MBnet in Europe) can give you a credit card number without saying if it's a Visa or a Mastercard. It gets worse because they actually generate both types of card numbers. So whenever I am presented with one of those fields to choose a card I error 50% of the time. Annoying.

It's not enough for me to quit buying something but if you have also Visa Electron, Visa Debit and Visa Credit then I surely won't buy it, I would have to try so many combinations while filling parts of the form each time (because it won't keep the ccv, for example).

Studying pure game theory isn't going to help the SC2 player, at least not in any tangible way, the same with current AI practices.

The point he's trying to make is that truly great (in his view: competitive) games are those that the most advanced AI algorithms won't have any real competitive edge, so that game "theory" would back-up game "reality" of winning with a marginal advantage is more advantageous than winning "big".
Yes he would. Queen was one of the most "commercial" bands ever, constantly rehashing their music to sound like the mainstream-of-the-day and selling out to the highest bidder. They knew that being a pop band is just an act, and what matters is how many records and tickets you sell. Freddie was quite happy to get money to be a showman, and would probably laugh at modern "indie" sensibilities like you wouldn't believe. Hell, they happily sold "We are the Champions" to any sport organization willing to pony up some cash.

I never had app reflex and find the overall experience slower in most cases. For reading hn/reddit/aggregators in general on Android, opening new things in tabbed browser from links and bookmarks is a magnitude faster (I use Dolphin browser and allows the option to load in background), and the browser automatically formats text with a simple double click. Its very rare when this doesn't work. Opening an app, moving back and forth from content, and then trying to find and use several of the same native apps to me is slower. On tablet I really don't need apps at all unless like WebOs they cripple the browser.
Most sites do email notifications correctly and prefer this so I can deal with it on my own terms rather than the constant push of notifications.
I know some people who actually gamble on chess. The thing is, that even with a perfect game (not saying that chess is perfect) you still have the human factors involved.

>Whatever they don't consume is reinvested in the economy.

This is true of all financial transactions. The question is, are resources being allocated efficiently? As the authors state - that 5 trillion is not going to build schools or hospitals.
The bankers dont spend the money (as you point out), they put it in bank, or in treasuries, or they buy stock (and then the seller puts it in a bank, or in treasuries, or they buy stock).

In that case, the money is actually being invested by the government in "roads, schools, and other long-term projects".

Or at least some portion of it is - the rest is given to favored classes of Americans (a big chunk of govt spending is redistribution, not investment).
