Maybe I'm misunderstanding google wallet, but isn't this exactly the kind of data that you would expect for it to collect? I'm not too shocked when my credit card statement has a list of merchants, addresses and times of purchases, nor when amazon (and newegg, and paypal, and...) has a list of items and dates purchased, which in turn influence the items they recommend to me for future purposes.

On the other hand, if you don't feel comfortable with google being the clearinghouse for the information...super? Use something else (and spur competition!). The OP's statement seems as monumental as which brand of credit card company he uses (and somewhat willfully blind in light of the information they can and do collect...much more than appears on our credit card statements).
No, I don't NEED to do anything... That said, your comments are totally relevant, I will implement them.

Why would this reduce anything? If anything I would expect this sort of customer bullying to get them targeted even more. After all, if customers have their credit card info stolen, get robbed and then can't even sue Sony for incompetence then that should make them less likely to spend money with Sony, no?
For people unable to look at the source, here is a direct copy of the chart in question:

As you should see, it's not really that simple to say "39% stay and 61% fall out." While technically correct, falling isn't equally distributed over the other quintiles. The children of the top quintile are only 9% likely to fall in the bottom quintile and the children of the bottom quintile are only 6% likely to rise to the top quintile.

And really, the top comment was trying to claim the parents migrated income brackets. The numbers here are about children inheriting the incomes of their parents. This data strongly suggests the wealth gains over the past decade are in fact concentrated in the already wealthy. Not only that, but it shows the concentration of wealth has momentum that lasts for generations.

The United States today still has tremendous opportunity for income mobility compared to many other parts of the world and other parts of history. But these articles are showing a disturbing trend that this may not be sustainable.
I don't share those concerns because I don't give a fuck about anything that isn't code, motorcycles, guns, or my cat almost to the point of pathology, but I understand and respect your decision to avoid them nonetheless.

Because I understand your reasons, I really hate it when people like the guilty party above choose to pitch in their half-pence without actually knowing why you didn't have one.

Last thought: I work in the ads industry (without really meaning to), and I can say without doubt that your concerns are 100% valid.

That said, you'd have to do a lot more than not have a Google account to avoid being monetized informationally speaking.

I always disable remote root login and password authentication. Then I create purpose-specific remote users with sudo access only to the commands they need (and never access to sudo su). This is not only more security-conscious in my mind, but also allows me to just drop a friend or coworker's public key in the authorized_keys file for a certain user to allow that person to perform the function that user was purposed for (for instance, when I'm on vacation).

The piece would probably have been improved by staying on your initial course and focusing on Bitcasa's business model, and the impact that certain specific technical choices have on the running costs.

Instead, after a strong introduction, you switched over to discussing these "Potential Flaws", which are no different than those facing every cloud storage vendor. It seems strange to write an attack-piece on this new player, rather than on the industry as a whole.

1. Bitcasa can kick/cancel abusive or uneconomic accounts. Preventing them rejoining is tricky, but no harder for Bitcasa than any other internet service (from some tiny 10-user internet forum via Dropbox right through to Amazon), so why single them out?

2. "any provider of this service could be legally responsible" (my emphasis) is just weasel words.

3. Bitcasa can tell whether I have a particular file, but (at least in the general case) can't tell whether I'm licensed or authorised to have that copy.

4. See 1.

(Also, the "convergent encryption" link is broken.)
Everyone on this thread knows that there is no technical reason to split the ratings. It's implausible that a company of this size couldn't break that subsystem into a shared service.

The reason for the split has to be business-related, and my best bet is to create a very clean separation of intellectual property. This among other things is why I find the post disingenuous.
Official Announcement from DailyDeal: http://dailydeal.de/en
If you live in the US and don't use cash for every purchase, I think you'd be surprised how much leeway companies have here. Many logical and straightforward protections won't ever be put into law until after some new privacy crisis comes up. This is one reason why it was so infuriating when google and apple were called in front of congress but AT&T and other cell companies were nowhere to be seen...I assume Congress is OK with that data collection (if they didn't collect location data, who could they subpoena?) but it would have been nice to at least get some of that breathless blog and news coverage aimed at the telecoms.

The hard part is disambiguating customers (which is why loyalty/discount cards are so great for them), but it is really horrifying the amount of credit card history, demographic data, grocery store purchases, prescription information (seriously) etc etc that companies can collect, cross reference, and sell while staying within the law.
Another trick I especially like is to use the command="" syntax inside of an authorized_keys file to allow a user to execute certain commands via ssh, especially handy for git-shell.
Telugu movie reviews
People these days are really crazy about telugu movie reviews.The reviews are the prime source of turning the audience into the theatre for watching cinema.Telugu movie reviews add much more interest towards the story of cinema.Tollywood news make the people more enthusiastic towards telugu movie reviews on different movies like comedy,horror,romantic,sentimental,suspense,action and thriller kind of movies. Many people these days consider reviews a lot because a review state all about the movie that they are going to watch.
I totally agree. Netflix unified gave me the added value I needed to be a subscriber. Now that DVDs and streaming is not only separate subscriptions but even separate accounts, the value of Netflix/Qwikster has plummeted to me. I might just do Amazon for streaming and Apple TV for movie rentals.

When I think of Netflix, I think of renting flicks on the net... which is, um, what the original name meant. Also there's the whole last decade of this association.

When I think of Qwikster, I do not think of anything related to DVD by mail. The only associations that come to mind are Friendster and Quixtar. It sounds cheesy and cheap and fly-by-night.

Cellular phone jammer keep the environment quiet 
In original, the cellular phone jammer is developed for law enforcement and the military to interrupt communications by criminals and terrorists. Now the cell phone jammer has no longer merely used in these desolate areas, like the meeting room, theater, examination room, service station, conference center, hospital, government, prison and so on all require the cell phone jammer. Even in normal life, you also can take a hand-held jammer to keep the surround silent. In weekend, most of people wanna enjoy the rest time and don’t willing to be troubled. The portable cell phone jammer could help you smoothly solve this problem. In the restaurant, or pleasure ground, this jammer function range just 10-20 meters, basic will not cause much trouble to others around you. Try to image, the beautiful time of you and lover or girlfriend just two together and without others trouble, temporarily cast aside those worries.

"We realized that streaming and DVD by mail are becoming two quite different businesses ..."

That may well be, from their point of view. From my point of view DVD and streaming were part of the SAME product, with DVD backing up streaming by offering what streaming didn't have.

For the amount of DVDs I had coming (1 at a time from their minimal DVD+stream deal), I can get about the same service from the local library. There are a lot of movies the library doesn't have; the same is true of Netflix.
There is an exciting new company Bitcasa that promises infinite storage for $10 a month and says your data is encrypted client side.

Isn't it what Backblaze has been offering for a few years now for half that price? I cannot say I'm particularly excited.
I find this truly amazing, not because of the technologies involved, but mostly because I find it fascinating that we can now easily process a library of over a million song and find which have a “slow build”.
Why do I get the feeling that you already have answered the question for yourself? Yes of course only the terrible, lazy deadbeats fall on hard times. At least it is very convenient to think so...

And the company split isn't "related to negotiating royalties for streaming based on streaming subscriber numbers, not the combined numbers" as waterlesscloud indicated? The public explanation of better focus for each business is sensible, but I think there is a not insignificant impact to licensing that drove the decision as well.

1. The issue isn't that bad guys exist and everyone has to deal with it. The problem is that for them to deal with it they have to sacrifice their user's privacy (quotas and stats open clients up to attack). If dropbox does that they don't subject their user's to any (more) security risks as they don't make such a strong assertion.

2. I am not a lawyer, but part of this post is to focus on the viability of the model. What I hope to come out of this is discussion on ways to reduce the legal exposure a company has in this privacy-centric model.

3. That is true but that isn't how copyright lawsuits generally work. For example, if you own a CD and they get you downloading something from bittorrent you'd have to argue that point in court. Even if you did nothing wrong that is more exposure than "client side encryption" would lead most people to believe.

I agree it is strong, though I wouldn't call it an attack piece. I will gladly update this as more information surfaces but I believe my assumptions are plainly explained and are likely to be true. The reason for my focus on them is they did many things exactly how I would have wanted them to, but it is dangerous to advertise a certain level of encryption that is generally understood and then provide something that has a variety of subtle flaws. I'll add an update to clarify #1 as that is important.

Edit: Convergent encryption link is fixed in the post (thanks for the tip)
Sad to hear that. I still remember applying for setting up my open source project on Sourceforge. My project eventually had 160.000 downloads from Sourceforge. Back in the days Sourceforge was immensely helpful for managing and distributing open source software.

I'm inclined to believe it's wrong data.

It could be there was some so-called return immigration, with Chinese-Brazilians going to China during the times of high unemployment rate on Brazil (as lots of Japanese-Brazilians did). But as a Brazilian I've never heard of that, so 50k sounds implausible.

The number of politicians who essentially say all public servants should be fired or live on starvation wages is rather low as a percentage of all elected officers, particularly on the local level. It's rare that you will see a local politician come right out and say "We should not be paying teachers." This phenomenon is supported by the two related factors, in my experience: Teachers tend to be not too shabby at lobbying on this level, and the large contingent of people with children don't like the idea that their kids are being neglected.
I wonder if they're interested in local partners. I know a few people who've been thinking about doing this in Hawaii.
I partially agree with the GP, except I would say it takes a special talent to excel at it in a given amount of time. A "special talent" in this case would be a predisposition to learning how to play a guitar.

>Are you saying that something in the brain is pre-wired to be a better guitar player?

Yes, whether due to nature or nurture, I would say certain people will be faster at learning how to play the guitar, and thus, be a better guitar player given an equal amount of exposure. Of course, you could always put more time into it, but there is only a finite amount of time available to a given individual.

No citations, but I believe this agrees with the general consensus. In fact, I would be greatly interested if anyone could provide studies showing the contrary.

I usually defend capitalism, and I read and mostly agreed with PGs wealth essay. But having seen pictures of how the poor live in the US (I am not from the US), this just feels wrong. How much wealth do you really need? It is one thing if everybody lives a happy live, and some people live in slightly bigger houses by the seaside. It is another if lots of people live in squalor at the same time.

I think some things should be rewarded. If you find a cure for cancer, you deserve to be rich. But even then, maybe a couple of million $ would be enough, even if what you gave to society is worth trillions. Perhaps related: Joel Spolsky's article on how to compensate an intern who created a lot of value for the company. Can't find the article atm, but I think he ended up giving hardly anything. Cancer researchers are just interns of society, when seen from space.

The greatest opportunity for netflix is to become the global leader in streaming films. They've been slow to expand in this regard. I've been waiting for netflix to hit the UK for a long time. By dropping DVDs they avoid any expectation of a service that requires significant investment in infrastructure. This presumably also makes negotiations far simpler and faster. With a race to penetration in each new market this could be critical.

Generally I've seen those kind of addictive companies covered under "painkillers", in the same sense that heroin and other opiates are abused by recreational users to deal with boredom or unhappiness.
The problem is that for them to deal with it they have to sacrifice their user's privacy (quotas and stats open clients up to attack)

I can't find the section that demonstrates either assertion.

if you own a CD and they get you downloading something from bittorrent you'd have to argue that point in court

Actually, bittorrent court cases typically focus on the uploading aspect (remember that on bittorrent, downloaders are also uploaders) at least partly because it is much easier to prove that someone doesn't have publishing rights.

It's also not clear if you're aware of the DMCA.

This is the main conclusion at the end of the article: that SSDs should be picked for their performance rather than for their reliability, as SSD reliability hasn't been proven to be better whereas performance has. Reliability comes in here because you can replace 4+ HDDs with a single SSD and thus reduce energy/heating costs and also increase reliability as you only have 1 drive that can fail vs 4+.

The attack surface for other companies has just doubled

If anything, that is an underestimate. I really can't understand what they are thinking. Since I am interested in both DVD and streaming, up to now I was completely locked into Netflix because of the integrated system - my "Instant" queue is just the subset of my DVD queue that is streamable.

If they break that link, and I derive no gain from being BOTH a Netflix-DVD and a Netflix-streaming customer, what is there to stop me switching to Amazon or other competing streaming service tomorrow? Absolutely nothing.

This is such a bad decision I actually can't even begin to understand how it made sense to the dude for the whole length of time it took him to write that announcement.

Edit: and another thing. Am I expected to believe that a technology company cannot figure out how to run two different business arms with a single customer-facing UI/website? This is something frigging clothing companies do every day.
