So true. In a similar but infinitely more serious vein, men often don't hear about women's experiences of violence at the hands of men. Unless you're a particularly approachable man, you might, like me, be surprised at how many women you know have been touched by this problem.
So there is the original argument that he's a spammer, which hasn't been refuted.

Are you aware that the burden of proof rests on the claimant? Unless you have convincing evidence supporting a claim, you are not logically justified in accepting it.
Yeah, that's the whole point of this topic.
Are you sure you used European style dd/mm/yyyy? I made that mistake the first time.
This becomes suboptimal on a news site. I don't want to just see content that I know and is interesting to me, I want to read things I would have never have a chance of coming across otherwise. Of course, it is also impossible to read everything. This is why the voting system works so well. If many users find an article interesting, chances are that it will be interesting to everyone. This dynamic is increased substantially with a specific group like Hacker News. This is why I don't like personalised pages, they are only really feasible for things like google+ and certain types of searches.

I agree the hacker scene is full of assholes.

I ask this not to argue, but because you seem both pleasant and informed/opinionated and will likely have something useful to say: what as a male hacker am I supposed to be doing about the issue in this thread?

Let's assume what I know's not true for many men - that I am not even slightly coming on to or harassing or creeping on anyone and am very polite to women personally, or abusing position over them, etc. (I used to be treated like some kind of rapist by many women for prosaic things like opening doors or walking down the street, I guess from inherent suspicion of single men - now that I am usually with my wife when I'm outside of work/home, nobody looks at me twice or gives me dirty looks, which is vastly less awkward).

I don't often see situations where women are being harassed these days, so I don't even have scope to act like some kind of gender-police hero. Nor is it always called for, that I can see; I like to reassure or express solidarity with people who are getting treated in a normally dickish way, but usually not in the form of a giant "you are a huge asshole" confrontation, which can be bad for one's career and such, especially when 'the hacker scene is full of assholes.' But if I noticed sexual harassment or implicit threats or something I would already try to make sure something was said.

So what else is there? Should I just admit some kind of privilege and say it's really bad and then I don't have to do anything else, or is there some specific thing I should be doing? Because I can't get a specific reading on what I ought to be doing and sometimes suspect in these conversations that I am just supposed to feel bad and say something submissive, which really isn't satisfying when I have honestly spent my whole adult life consciously trying to be nice and even-handed to women.
If Alice has access to files, she can share them through any means with anyone she likes (email, another file-sharing service, etc.). I guess you're just suggesting that Dropbox make it a bit harder to do so through their service, but the actual problem is unsolvable and requires some mutual trust in your team.

I think you're missing the point. First off, Gates is doing a lot of amazing things with his money that benefit many people, not just in the US. Second, it's more of the ideal that a lot of the wealthy have more money than they really need... it's the point of redundancy. That money could be put to good use to help our country. Gates is doing enough good things with his money already.
It's amazing how people forget. Bill doesn't have to worry about losing everything he has -- there's no way -- muchless worry about losing his house, getting fired in a recession, or how he's going to get his kids through college.

Other than that, and the ability to go anywhere you want, do anything you want within reason, and stay as long as you like -- yeah, I'm sure being a billionaire is overrated.
Reading your second paragraph made me chuckle. Your point is likely spot on but I couldn't help thinking how most of that paragraph involved jargon that most people I know would get glossy eyed over. I wonder if rewording it to laymans or non 'geeks' terms might help.

Information on a webpage and 'the' webpage are not exactly the same. Rss uses information from the webpage to create a title and a short description in a way that you can view hundreds of titles and descriptions very quickly. When you find a title and or description that interests you a single click delivers the webpage in its authors intended form...

I think you're correct. If somebody said that to me before I had used Rss I might have glossed over as well.

edit: Sorry about the defunct company part.
Verizon Removes Exclusive From Samsung Galaxy Nexus Sign Up
Well, a measured quantity of violence ('violence' being a very broad category) targeted at someone who is clearly causing harm is sometimes the only effective way of stopping a greater amount of harm. No-violence is clearly better, but assuming that (say) a rape is being committed, some degree of violence is a reasonable response to stop things from happening or deter other things.

With the risk of sounding naive or out of place - am I the only one surprised at this idea raising $2.5m? Not that the site isn't cool and well done, but I can't figure out how developing and hosting a site like this, say for the next five years, may cost something in that range.

What would they possibly need that kind of money for?
Improving Credit Rating: Not as Hard as You Would Think
Having a good credit rating is very important for many reasons as you well know. Plus, there are plenty of ways of improving your credit rating but you can’t start with this unless you really know where you stand right now. There are a lot of companies that provide credit profiles for their clients both for free and by subscription. Once you get your hands on these reports then you will be able to tell where you are at the moment, credit wise.

So a desire to follow the law is some kind of moral failing all of a sudden? Sorry but that is bullshit.

There is nothing wrong with following the law and trying to get others to follow the law and reporting lawbreaking. I am sure you will appreciate this next time you get mugged.

(By the way I have to say I am not sure I agree with Mr. Greenspan's determination that Airbnb and Facebook are unlicensed money transmitters. But there is no reason to attack anyone because they simply want to follow the law.)
Crazy stuff happens to women, I'm don't think that is anything specific to the tech field. My girlfriend and most of my ex-girlfriends (non-hackers) have been harassed in one way or another at some time in their lives, yes even in the batshit crazy ways that you mention.

I wouldn't know what to do about it though, society is kind of messed up that way. If you attract any attention as woman, IMO doesn't matter in what kind of group, there will be assholes.
He originally asked to use an old-school transparency projector and we had a camera-enabled one ready for him but he ended up creating actual slides. I kind of wish he'd actually had the transparencies!
It's more about the view and wish for changing the system and organizing it more efficiently so that more people can benefit from it. Taxing hoarded money that cannot be spent in a reasonable way by a few individuals and using that money to enhance lagging sectors is something a good government should hopefully be able to do. Couple of people sending the government a few billion is not going to accomplish much in that direction.
Thanks for putting that in! It's working great for me!
I am not sure the window here is long enough to develop a method of reconstructing these documents that will scale to the what the DOD would need. Honestly this feels kind of like the old myth about carrots making your sight better(a ruse to keep RADAR a secret from the Germans). I am virtually certain the gov't already has this technology perfected, but this is a way to make people think we don't.

It doesn't make sense to use ALAC on mobile players. It's lossless so the file size is huge — you can't tell the difference between an ALAC file and whatever is sold in the iTunes store on a mobile device. Especially when the storage space is so little.
nowhere near astounding, and i doubt this kind of interfaces could be usable at all

The Art of the Interpreter
Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
I used to wind up a work project manger with that response.

He would always ask "whats the percentage chance of this working?" around problems that where difficult, and often needed trial and error investigation.

Since you often don't have a clue whats wrong or whats the best solution you can't really give any feedback till you've spent some time investigating.

He couldn't handle loosing control no the time frames, and hated to 'waste' time on investigation, so I slowly evolved the response "50/50, either it works or it doesn't" so that he would fly off the handle, vent and then be calmer to deal with a few minutes later.

He's fall for it every time, start firmly almost yelling "Its not funny, can you be serious... its not 50%! whats the likelihood of it working!, do we need to put more resources onto this, can you please be serious for once".

Then later in the day he'd get his estimate, but not till we had some time to mull it.

Have others gone through their second JS course? I thought the first course was great (albeit a bit rigid) - but the second course was really terrible. Most of the "interactivity" was just hitting enter, and reading another blurb about JavaScript.

Codecademy will live or die on the quality of its courses, and it gives me pause to see them publish an iffy course so early on. I hope they raise the editorial bar as they release the additional courses they've teased.
I can only hope this is over quick and does not become the medusa case that was the SCO case where you thought it was over but just kept coming back after many deathblows.
Behind the scenes of the Atlassian logo redesign
Hard to know what to say here, but we (Yell Labs) have built what appears to be the exact same solution to this problem that punchd have.

As far as I can tell we started at around the same time but from London, UK. And we have our own patent applications (that I was unhappy about submitting because I don't agree that they were non-obvious, and that punchd did the same thing elsewhere at the same time is evidence of that).

Anyhow... how do we, with what appears to be exactly the same solution, handle security?

Signals, lots of them. What sensors does the phone have? Great, grab it all and start comparing for deviations and against thresholds. When you have enough data start machine learning against it.

With velocity, look at the X,Y,Z of the gravity sensor and see if the numbers since the last QR scan indicate that you're moving at beyond a certain G... clearly scanning a QR code shouldn't require speed.

Then you've got things like, if you scanned in London, could you scan in Birmingham 5 minutes later? What's the likely speed between places.

Did a scan happen at 2am? The rest of the data suggests that they're closed at that hour.

And more subtle ones: If all of the compass readings for a specific branch point within a 15 degree range... you can actually know that they have a single cashpoint and the customer is on the South side of it.

As for whether they work, they're very effective against obviously fake stuff, and then together with other signals create a reasonably high confidence of finding the extremely doubtful stuff. You really want to handle this delicately as the thing you don't want to do is make it really uncomfortable for the small business owner if he suspects someone of fraud... so you want to catch them and deduct the fake points before they enter the shop, but confidently enough that you don't hurt a genuine customer at all.

It's really easy to sit down and create a whole load of tests against a new scan just by looking at a wealth of data from old scans.

I hope they haven't patented that aspect, it's pretty damn obvious.

You're talking about choice, but software platforms are natural monopolies and the winner takes all. Sometimes there is room for a second place in case you carve out a niche, but there is no room for a third place.

So enjoy your freedom of choice, for now, but I remember a time when Microsoft was so strong that alternatives to Windows seemed destined to die.

And alternatives would have died, if Microsoft had their way with Trusted Computing ... and personally I could see Microsoft banning Firefox because "it duplicates existing functionality". But hey, Apple is cool, right?

yea, this happens to me all the time. Ed Weissman's solution to this is to have a separate work station (qn 64, http://edweissman.com/53640595).
Personally, I open separate browsers for work and general surfing (email, HN, twitter etc). For instance, all my tabs for work will be on Firefox (tab groups and tab mix plus work wonders for tabs organization BTW) while all other non-work related surfing will be done on Chrome.
So why not do that to software too?

I wonder if any Google reps are reading this? I highly believe that this forum represents the general feelings held by most developers using Google maps.

Google appears to be forgetting that their success has more to do with their name at this point than their products. Not to knock Google Plus, but, had it not had the name Google in front of it, it would have been just an afterthought that would have received a half-pager from Alexia on TechCrunch. Making Google Maps free is what led to Google Maps being ubiquitous and that eventually led to Google Maps becoming the defacto map provider in the same way that Google Search is the defacto search provider. Now, even my mom tells me to "Use Goooogle Map". This type of tactic keeps Google on the tip of everyone's tongue ... even the tongue of my computer-illiterate mother.

Although I avoid being an alarmist, this recent change will lead to developers shying away from Google Maps in their own sites and/or switching away from it if they've already used it. This will in-turn expose end-users to other experiences and will gradually reduce people's association of Google to all that is "finding stuff using the internet".

So, yes, what I am implying is that Google should run Google Maps at a loss for the simple sake of maintaining their brand's presence in the online world. Some may say that this is bad business since it involves losing money, BUT, I say it's quite the opposite. Having my own mother be aware of Google Maps without ever having used it herself is testament to the success of the brand.

That just assumes that accumulation of wealth is necessarily due to extracting it from the general economy rather than by generating wealth for the economy at large. Without debating the relative merits of Microsoft's contributions in particular, and assuming you accept the capitalist premise that someone can deserve to become wealthy by generating more wealth for society than they take home for their own benefit, why should there some intrinsic limit to how many people that can be true of or of how much value they can collectively create?
Check out how much Khan Academy raised :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Academy#History

Education is the next big thing. Recent public classes in databases, machine learning and AI from Stanford is proof enough that even the most traditional learning ops are looking at the Khan meme very seriously.

If anything , these guys have raised frugally and probably will be a big hit in approximately 24 months from now.
One thing I think that probably sucks about being a billionaire is being nagged ALL THE TIME. A guy like Gates literally can't walk out the door and go longer than 2 minutes without somebody trying to get money out of him.
Not really - standard security used by credit cards and calling cards forever. If you punched in a location A and then tried location B which are greater than (time difference * max speed per hour) miles difference then it will red flag it. Fails in the presence of supersonic flight ;)
