I do not believe that your original statement did anything to convey what you've just said. I do not find this reponse unreasonable. I jumped the gun calling you retarded -- I assumed you were the usual tyoe that defends anonymous/lulzsec. They don't care about the crime, they don't see why it's a crime, etc. That was my impression. I do get angry in these discussions. These people are annoying. The others in this thread I've responded to are like this but at least you acknowledge that this person should be punished.

Getting everyone to learn algebra would be a big aid to society, should we throw everyone who fails algebra in prison until they start passing?

In the US alone there are over 70,000 alcohol related deaths per year. That's nearly a million people a decade, dead because of alcohol. And that doesn't even begin to account for the vastly greater incidence of lesser problems such as abusive, absent, or non-supportive husbands, fathers, mothers; or families in financial ruin due to having to support the expenses and consequences of a severe alcohol habit, etc.

Some people see an activity that causes problems and they think "I know how to solve this, I'll make that activity illegal", now they have two problems. We tried alcohol prohibition, it was far, far worse. We are currently living through the misery of prohibition of some drugs, and it's almost certainly not helping.

You can't get rid of meth by making it illegal, that should be obvious to anybody. And by making it, and so many other drugs, illegal you bring on a whole host of other problems. You weaken the criminal justice system by adding a huge burden to it. You increase corruption of law enforcement officials. You create an easy source of funding for the most ruthless criminals. You degrade respect in the rule of law by outlawing behaviors that a significant fraction of citizens don't believe should be illegal. You put a huge fraction of citizens outside the law by making them criminals, and thus less willing and able to cooperate with law enforcement (to report other crimes, for example). You degrade the justice system by creating these perverse incentives for law enforcement (e.g. due to asset forfeiture).

From a pragmatic standpoint prohibition of drugs makes no sense, it is not a big aid to society it is a huge, huge loss verging on a catastrophe. The problem is that there are a great many people who believe that a good use of the law is to prevent people from doing bad things to themselves. Whether or not that ideology is seated in the firmament of organized religion it works out to just another form of puritanism. And we've seen the problems that law founded in puritan values brings: repression, subjugation, corruption, abuse of power, witch trials, etc. We're already there today but it's harder to make out the shape of things because we are so thoroughly immersed in it.

Petition: Direct the Patent Office to Cease Issuing Software Patents
I worry about the extreme fan-out that goes between content producers, datacenters packed with algorithms and content mills packed with hacks, dedicated to rewriting and excerpting that content, and then all these sharing mechanisms broadcasting this massaged crap out to the world. Is the Internet getting better from all this? What is the ratio of thought invested in producing quality content, versus thought invested in simply distributing any content?

I never once declared there wasn't a crime. Nor did defend it. I didn't even declare it should be downplayed. I said it should not be overhyped. There is a difference. Please stop putting words in my mouth (erm.. fingers).

You know what I don't want?: to be hacked or robbed. I think it is fine that we hold people accountable for it and punish their actions (provided it is appropriate for the crime).

You know what else I don't want?: I don't want my supposedly secured info made available to the first guy with an sql-injection. I think the asshats who let this hacking-101 trick past should also be accountable and punished.

It's kind of funny: you seem to think that Sony not be the only people with security flaws is somehow mitigating, but if someone said "Recursion isn't the only hacker your know" you would probably jump down their throat. I think that responsibility should go two ways and you are getting all sorts of worked up over it.
it is a terrible analogy, I agree. I didn't choose it.

anyway, lets keep beating on it.

If I were to agree to keep the possessions of thousands of people safe under my roof, I would expect to have someone working around the clock to find a way into my home.

I am not condemning Sony's engineers at all, I dont know any of them, but even so it is my absolute belief that they knew damn well how broken the system was, and that they told their management repeatedly that it needed to be fixed or customer data could be at risk.

I am condemning Sony, if they agree to take my possessions and to keep them secure, they had better damn well expect to have a continuous stream of people deliberately attempting to break in.

Bottom line is that your dev isn't happy. Why isn't he happy? That's for you and him to find out - and be prepared for it to be your fault.

Let me give you some advice: The hard part about URL shorteners is not the coding work, it's keeping that thing up. You should keep it online for decades to come, even if you just have a few 100 people using it. There won't be any revenue at all and most people will prefer bit.ly over your shortener. Sooner or later spammers will find your shortener and abuse the hell out of it. You will probably get blacklisted, maybe even dropped by your hosting provider.

As for the urlteam stuff (urlteam member here): The best thing would be to just release a text file with all the short url to long url mappings. Make sure that the file is regularly updated and that it works (I am looking at you, ur1.ca people).

I'd like to suggest that planned leaks that look like this (ie, an employee making a mistake and announcing/confirming a future product) mostly don't make sense for companies of a certain size/maturity/growth/dominance/culture.

Companies want to be able to shape the message people receive about their products, to highlight good or important points and allay certain fears. Leaks are often bad for that, since it inherently relies on third parties to speculate. Whether it's TechCrunch, New York Times, or Robert Scoble, at least one of them will interpret the information in a way that is detrimental to your interests.

If you have a planned leak and you don't tell your employees that you planned it, and you don't take corrective action against the "leaker", you're sending a message that it is okay to be lax about this stuff because there are no consequences. And then you start getting unplanned leaks, which are way worse, since it wouldn't be anything near a carefully crafted perfectly unambiguous planned leak.

If you have a planned leak and you DO tell your employees, then you're going to create a cynical bunch of people, which will hurt productivity and creativity. And they'll tell people about the planned leaks, and you'll lose a lot of credibility (which hurts hiring as well). And they'll start leaving, which is a really heavy cost.

If you have a planned leak and you don't tell your employees (or, even worse, deny it) and you're found out to have done so, you're in an even worse situation.
The biggest problem is that buzzwords are broad and show that you have no idea what your actual thing is. Whats "cloud-enabled"? Linux is "cloud-enabled", sshd is "cloud-enabled". Or "big data"? Just vast amounts or are you mangling them?

Take an actual product and describe it. Let's say: Github. Github is a hosting service for a distributed version control system allowing programmers to collaborate and share code. It is not a "cloud-enabled, community-driven service for big data handling", although each of those attributes certainly fits as well.

Being able to express the first and not the second shows that you have an idea, not banging together broad concepts in some kind of collider.

Take a look at Tableau. It's super expensive and desktop-based. But it allows for some very powerful, customized data analysis.

Build a SaaS version of Tableau and you have a good starting point.

You still need to find the problem you are solving. Try to find one or two niches, like university labs or government research facilities.

Personally, I'd find the problem this solves well, then actually solve that problem (instead of helping others solve that problem). Take credit card interest rates; instead of building a tool tailored to credit card issuers or resellers, build a site that provides the data (using your tool) in a value-added way.

It's like you're creating your itch, so you can scratch it with your idea. A bit backwards, but crazy enough it might just work.
Very interesting. While I think there are some UI issues (a bit confusing to figure out how to change styles initially, how to save/open needs better explanation, etc), I believe these are simply attributed to the limited space available to the app.

Very good job, and I would love to see this fleshed out a bit outside of the contest.

There are often so many variables in a business that your "different angle" will appeal to some people - and that can be enough, especially if you don't insist on massive success. Markets usually support more than one supplier. I made the mistake of thinking a competitor was the end of my business - but I made much more after than before. (Though it was far less fun...)

Scanning your comment history, it looks like you're German?

I think you may have a rather badly skewed (or outdated) view of American politics. Unless you're considered quite far right by European standards, the current US Republican party's views are probably far removed from your own. Your comment about "internalizing the externalities" by raising gas taxes alone would get you skinned alive at Republican gatherings in most states. And if you view Democrats as "left", all I can say is they often make your center-right parties look like socialists.

Fair enough.

My original comment was intended to be very sarcastic. I don't respond well to platitudes and slogans, they usually just annoy me by ignoring that most things in life cannot be properly summed up in 6 words. I think that like many issues, both sides in this one seem to resort to shouting matches in which sides need to be taken, and people forget the issue in the desire to "win" and like I said, my response is usually sarcasm towards both... perhaps a bit of childishness on my part too there :)

Anyway, I appreciate your response here, thanks for that.

The first thing that occurred to me, is "How do you show video to people in an MRI?" My scan involved wearing headphones made entirely of plastic[1] due to the fact you're inside a ridiculously strong magnetic field. They didn't actually contain the audio speakers - they were acoustically coupled to something a few metres away.

I suppose if it were properly anchored / built into the machine, you might be able to mount an LCD panel, and then somehow calibrate around it. Alternatively, something complicated involving projection and mirrors, maybe. The scanning tunnel is pretty damn narrow though.

It's strange, but when reading about all sorts of interesting science, I end up wondering about the methodology sometimes more than the actual results.

No Hanibash, you're missing the main point... If FB and their partners want users to share, why not approach the users and ask for permission first? What's the harm? The user will either accept the term or decline it.

What we have here is blatant disregard for user security. Facebook is clearly saying that if you don't like it... you can dig around fb (or the partner site/s) and attempt to find the settings that control these new functions.

If facebook even had the slightest care in the universe about user experience they would at least ask the user to opt-in first to use the features. Since when does one company decide what I want to share, and who I want to share it with?...I do not want every one of my fb friends to see what movie I watched or what music I'm listening to. Nor, would I give permission.
That's what prices are for.

Having done this (showing video to people in an MRI), I think I'm qualified to respond.

There are two methods we've used, one was a goggle system where an array of optical fibers, one per pixel, are brought from the scanner tube to the control room and coupled to a LED display. The resolution is atrocious, and the thing is heavy, but it gets attached to the head coil so the person inside does not have to bear the weight.

The method we are using now is to attach a mirror to the head coil, and have a huge flatscreen outside the tube. You show mirrored images on the screen, and since the screen is big enough it covers the entire visual field. Works better.
Actually I'm not surprised. They got too comfortable. They got lazy. Properly covering your tracks is extremely cumbersome and boring.

You're quite right. This is why apps have a new permission dialog to show you exactly what gets shared, which you have to click accept prior to using it.
