$120k is maybe peanuts for a copyright troll firm backed by millions from investors. As long as investors are willing to put money into these kind of firms, a lot of lawyers will be seduced to keep up the trolling. They need to make a living too, and it's easy money.
Architects can also focus on design, which reduces the need for a rigorous engineering training. An architect doesn't have to be a construction engineer.

For example, Tadao Ando started as a truck driver and became one of the world's most celebrated architects with no formal training:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadao_Ando

The software world is missing a job title that would approximate the role of a design-oriented architect. There are plenty of software architects, but this is usually a misleading title because they design infrastructure rather than public-facing spaces. The software architect is more like a "software municipal engineer".
In that flight of fancy s/he is at epsilon eridani, so that won't be a problem (it's not the size you need, it's the baseline) :-) Anyway who cares about earth-like planets in other galaxies, this one will do fine.

The flaw in the argument is that you need one person with billions of dollars to throw at an ambitious project; of course we could also just decide to do those things collectively, and in fact have managed to do some amazing things that way.

I've done published research where we started by using data from a gravitational lensing search for black holes, and used data they had collected but disregarded on very distant stars. A mere 100 years ago, there was not an astronomer on Earth who could have conceived of gravitational lensing. My point is not necessarily that we will make even more ambitious and unexpected use of gravitational lensing itself, but rather, what will we invent in the next 1,000 years plus that we have no way of concieving of right now?

Interesting. I'll have to try this some time.

For people not willing to buy such a contraption (like me), though the vacuum helps, try running cold water over the bottom of your wrists. It's a fantastically-effective way to cool off, and very not-messy.
Dilates your blood vessels, allowing faster heat exchange. Considerably faster, from what I've gathered from similar devices.
when externally applied heat shocked open the radiators in the cold palms of anesthesia patients, warmed blood was returned straight to the heart, and the body was reheated from the inside out. Applying a mild vacuum to the hand intensified this effect.

It doesn't need a vacuum, but it does help. They don't seem to mention why.

Be sure to read the documentation though -- at the very least, keep in mind that they do not honor query strings, so any dynamic (I.e. behind a script) content you may want cached, you may have to do a little webserver rewrite magic for.
I think the bigger issues are the coarse resolution of the touch interface and lack of usable keyboard. The former prevents the kind of dense, widget-rich UIs you need for a tool as complex as a real IDE. The latter can be ameliorated with an external keyboard but then you've got a combination that's actually more awkward and less portable than a laptop.

To try replace a laptop with a tablet (or vice-versa) is to misunderstand the strengths and limitations of each, IMO.

It's even less remarkable if you've ever done that sort of cryptanalysis. I was assigned a similar problem in an entry-level college course, and the solution ended up being something like a dozen actual lines of code. Seriously. Just for kicks I generalized it automatically detect the source language and adapt accordingly.

The article is interesting for its historical aspect, but that's about it.
Honeypots would be great - they'd sort out lots of problems.

But there's still the problem of people submitting lousy articles; or submitting blogs / reports about an article instead of the original article. These aren't just new users either. Some of them are established long time users.

Some way of sorting those would be useful.
Fantastic read. Thanks for posting it!

After reading this article I felt extremely humbled. As a developer doing relatively "simple" work day to day, seeing this level of programming proficiency is very impressive. There isn't a chance I'd be able to figure out a problem such as this. At least certainly not within the timeframe that the SO team fixed it in.

It's articles like this that make me want to continue pushing my limits as a developer.

I wonder whether all those gymnastics were more prudent than simply writing a C module to filter questions and feeding the results back to the C# web app. Opinions?
I was there and although the transcription does take some paraphrasing at points, this is a direct quote. It leaves out that before this the student said something like:
"Before I ask my question I want to tell a little story: When I was growing up my parents and friends always asked me what I wanted to be and I would tell them I wanted to be the richest person in the world. Now you are here speaking to me so if A=B and B=C then A=C. Do you have any advice so that I can become someone like you"

I assure you the A=B... part is not a random addition by me, she actually said this but I could not tell what it was based off of.

Really besides a few questions from students that I felt were a little off topic, Mr. Gate's presentation was really fascinating and I am more than glad that I was able to attend.

One Per Cent: How to make a fat man jiggle in 3D animation
Forbes only knows about public wealth. The Rothschilds in the mid 19th century owned half the wealth of the world, and the contemporary argument is that they have not lost money since then, rather it has grown steadily, and is hidden off the books in countless family controlled foundations as well as secret reserves stashed away before there was the type of public accounting we have today.

Heads of state and CEOs have public wealth. The Rothschilds didn't.

> "Given the recent malware hitting the internet for macs, our aggressive firewalling already doesn't cut it for security".

Three odd trojans that need to be explicitly user-installed, rarely if ever met in the wild, and blocked by the daily-updated system are a threat to your über-firewall? I'm not downplaying the recent evolution in the area, but up until now you have to admit it's a dud.

> "They're backed up with a combination of rsync and a home-rolled login hook/git solution"

You do know that Time Machine works perfectly fine on spare bundles over AFP network shares, right? Besides, I wonder if your homebrew rsync solution handles hardlinks correctly in addition to alternate file streams and HFS+ extended attributes. I also wonder what your typical recovery scenarios look like.

> "Nether does a windows domain"

Any Windows computer needs at least an antivirus to combat the daily flow of trojans, and viruses, and worms. (And yes MSE is third-aprty in the sense that it's not there right from the start, enabled by default).

Given the current state of OS X malware, I'd venture to say that the current state of security in OS X is way more than adequate, out to the box.

As for general maintenance, manageability and user assistance, my experience has been such as it is one or two orders of magnitude down from Windows.

I'm not sure the kind of power you're referring to is the same kind of power that say, the Pope has. Gates with his billions has massive amounts of power in business and maybe local politics but he is nowhere near the level as say the Pope, who is by definition poor.

All the money (and power associated with it) cannot end world hunger. Ever. So I understand what Gates is saying when he's referring to the hamburger. He probably doesn't have the kind of power you are imagining he has and that 1000x doesn't really mean anything. All you can do with money is acquire more money in different forms. You're not changing the world with money.

I never comment on here so be gentle please. :)
The ultimate thing of course is: Prove the customer was in the shop and making a purchase.

And I'm sure you've also looked into whether the QR code could be generated per transaction (they could be, but does this place too high a cost-burden on the merchant and if a new device is used to display the generated codes is that going to meet local food hygiene standards for food outlets - and if existing devices are used such as printing on the receipts of their EPOS, is that accommodated by EPOS software).

We also looked into watermarking some signal from a sensor to prove that they were there, then we discovered Shopkick doing this with their noise emitter (a novel approach). We're unsure whether this is the best approach (requires another power point in the merchant, a mount point, installation, and if the emitted signal is dynamic then it requires a connection).

It's an interesting thing for sure... the best thing we've done to date is launch in a student bar with an alcohol deal, there is nothing that generates great data for security like letting compsci students hammer it with the reward of free beer. It's effectively our bug bounty... defeat our system and get a beer (or several) and strongly incentivises us to not have them defeat it.

I didn't say there is no distinction. I said system calls that require disk io, or network io, or triggers locking/sleeping requires a context switch. Calls like read/write/accept triggers context switches (which starts with a mode switch). The switch is required for the kernel to execute the system calls and operate on it's own data structures. Only the kernel can alter mbufs in this case.

Go read your OS book.

I am not trolling. you just lack experience and this sounds new to you.

I would like to somehow find a way to thank Bill Gates for his talk I really enjoyed it. Though out of everything I would say my favorite line by him today was:
"If you really want to learn something then get a book and read about it. If you want to learn more about CS read Knuth and actually do the problem sets after each section."
Ya, agreed. The second one was nowhere near as good as the first. Also have been wondering when new courses will come out. I finished the first two in two days (one each day) and was disappointed there weren't any more. It's been about a month since I last used it and there haven't been any new courses added.
He didn't include Angry Birds since it didn't come out until 2009 (see why I added [2006] :))

Don't sell yourself short. You generally don't know what your actual limits are until you really push hard against them or break through them. I've had to hunt down and fix some very unusual problems - with few or no references or no results from google.

Those kind of mind-bending problems actually give a great deal of satisfaction. I'm serious that you never really know your limits until you break them. I think the trick is to keep growing and expanding your abilities and knowledge.

There are few things that are consistent across the scores of biographies I've read, but that's one. Create value. The money will follow.
I was thinking the same thing. This problem seems extremely well suited for C/C++, and C#/.NET makes it very easy to call directly into native libraries.
The cypher is a substitution one but not a 'simple' one since multiple symbols map to single plaintext letters and some symbols map to n-grams common in German. The analysis is related to language identification, rather than machine translation as a whole - even if the researchers guessed the plaintext language correctly to begin with.

It doesn't seem particularly remarkable none of them spoke German, they certainly spoke languages close enough to it to recognize their initial results were German-looking enough - at which point they enlisted the help of German speakers. They did, in fact, just use a dictionary at one point.

The analysis is more sophisticated than simply guessing the source language and the fact it's a substitution-type cypher and the techniques on the n-gram level are arguably not entirely unlike what Google uses for MT, but on the word and phrase level. You're right that drawing a direct connection between them is somewhat tendentious.

A note on the content of the decrypted book (105 pages), which according to the Register,

"[...] has been revealed as the rituals and political thoughts of a German secret society, with a strange fascination for eye surgery and ophthalmology."

However, the WikiPedia entry [1] makes this ritual sound more like a fraternity/student joke:

"[...] an initiation ritual in which the candidate is asked to read a blank piece of paper, and on confessing inability to do so, is given eyeglasses and asked to try again, and then again after washing the eyes with a cloth, followed by an "operation" in which a single eyebrow hair is plucked."
