Could Bitcoin be pegged by private interests?
I recently found out that I could upgrade my late 2008 MacBook Pro to 8GB of RAM. The specs say only 4GB will work, but soon as I found out that 8GB should work I upgraded for just $50.

I'd change it to disallow consecutive terms --yet as many terms so long as not consecutive
But that's taken from all the software available in the repos, not the software that's actually installed on people's systems. For instance, the pie chart shows slices for both Gnome and KDE. How many people have both installed on their systems? Or neither?

Now compare that to how many people have none of the GNU software on their systems.
Instituting #3 will lower liquidity. I think the trade-off is worth it.

This is a topic where the critics, who argue in favor of the status quo are at an advantage, because the realities of HFT are not easily discernable to the layman, and require a much deeper understanding of the entire modern financial ecosystem.

Watch Puss In Boots Online
Watch Puss In Boots Online Free is composed by Tom Wheeler and David H. Steinberg which is produced by Latifa Ouaou, Joe M. Aguilar, Andrew Adamson, Michelle Raimo, and Guillermo del Toro. This is edited by Eric Dapkewicz, under DreamWorks Animation studio, and distributed by Paramount Pictures. This movie is due to be shown on October 28, 2011 in IMAX 3D and Real D 3D.
I thought the same thing when I read this:

"[...] in which all the stuff we want comes from one source at one price.

Forget about it. That world isn't coming. The hidden lesson of Netflix's fall from grace is that content markets will remain fragmented."

As you point out, that's simply not true, thanks to piracy. Not only can I find "all the stuff [I] want [...] from one source at one price", but that price is free (with the exception of site donations I guess). Not having to deal with DRM and the resulting uncertainty of ownership and crippled access from all devices, incomplete libraries, poor/uncertain quality and unreasonable prices are all icing on the cake.

Netflix could be to movies and tv shows what iTunes is to music and Steam is to games, but the content owners are fighting that every step of the way. Sadly, Netflix doesn't seem to have the power to push the content owners around like Apple does.
This has only ever been a chipset limitation. Not that long ago there were 64-bit capable Nvidia chipsets that could still only address 3GB of physical RAM due the way they mapped device memory into the system address space [1].

Sandy Bridge processors contain their own memory controllers that can address 16GB-32GB of RAM. True for any system they're in, as long as all channels are linked to physical DIMM slots [2].

Why? Do you even know why Glass-Steagall did?

The strictly investment banks (as opposed to the consolidated ones) were the ones that had the most trouble / caused the most problems in the recent recession.
Excellent initiative. John McCarthy deserves his own day, as well. And if we are allowed to go back in time, we ought to dedicate a day to the early founding fathers of computing, such as Alan Turing.
If I understand correctly, more RAM draws more power.

Anyone have an idea of the hit to battery life caused by going to 16GB?

some day we will even evolve enough to recognize the rights of animals and look back in horror to today's treatment of them as property

I don't know, that one is a little fuzzy. Animals are difficult legally. Pets, for example- if we decide they have their own will and it should be illegal to prevent them from going outside, many of them will just up and get eaten.

Now, maybe they have a right to get eaten. But I think it safe to assume they don't want to be eaten. So, it's fuzzy.
Well, it depends on whether the feature imposes any costs on people who do not need the feature. For example, the cost to every Emacs user of adding a new major mode customized for some obscure programming language is negligible because all Emacs users already have to know about and adapt to whatever complexity is required to support n major modes. (I am not sure, but I suspect that approximately the same thing applies to drivers in Linux.)

Well, it is a little more complicated than that because catering to a small market tends to have lower expected revenue than catering to a market that might become very big. That is a minor reason for not catering to any and all feature requests, but I believe that the major reason is that it tends to make things more complicated for the majority.
I find it interesting that so many folks whine about how an application looks instead of how much it helps you do your job. AppCode doesn't tout itself as a beautiful Mac application. It's written by developers for developers. We have a saying at my office: 'If you can't code, it's likely that you care about pixel perfection.' I care about getting stuff done. I don't care about how pretty my application is when I'm getting the job done. I like things that increase my velocity (in my case over 50%). I feel like Xcode just gets in the way many times. Simple things like not being able to have the cursor in the middle of a line and be able to simply add a line under the current line (vi lovers: think 'o' from the middle of a line). In Xcode you have to go to the end of the line and hit enter. That is one trivial example of a time saver that AppCode offers. (There are MANY).

Instead of whining about pixel perfection, try taking a look at the things it does and the audience it targets. You probably don't code enough to actually have an opinion that matters much anyway.
I remember google's dart that compiled to javascript which ran 7% as fast as hand-written javascript. I wonder what the performance for this will be compared to handwritten lua? I've tried wrapping everything into tables like this in lua, and there definitely is a performance penalty.

I guess programmers will always be programmers. "Ooo look, this year CPU speed has quadtripled! Let's make a compiler for X to Y which will reduce performance by only 75%; It means you can run it at the same speed as running hand-written Y last year!"

I'll cringe when I see someone creating a WoW addon using this.

Ask HN: Getting your username and password emailed to you?
When you register for site how do you feel about getting your username and password emailed to you?

For example:
Register at site --> create username/password--> get welcome email with username and password displayed

We are debating if its more convenient for the user to have that info in an email or is it a security risk.

I personally prefer it in an email, espcially for a new site so if I forget I can look it up instead of reseting the password.

Your thoughts?
I don't think most people who can afford $120k Mercedes vehicles really care who's driven them before. If it was a Ferrari driven by a rock star, maybe, but people who drive Benzes are generally boring and reasonable.
Ok, it's bipartisan, but the only meaningful opposition has come from democrats, and the entire political spectrum of "anti government" has lined up behind it. I'm just saying breaking everything down to "government" is a ridiculous tagline that obfuscates more than it helps.

I mean, even if this is approved, it's basically the government doing extremely cheap contract work for the companies who'd benefit. I have a problem with it being done, period, if the ISPs formed a cartel with the MPAA to do this without the government it'd be just as bad.

I bought an Apple 3G new in August 2009, after the 3GS came out and it felt like obsolete junk with the next major iOS upgrade, long before the contract expired. I certainly did not feel like I was treated like a king.

I was certainly not the only one: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/iphone-3g-slow-after-ios-4-0...

None of the suggestions worked.

There are already laws against that that are very strictly enforced. Try incorporating yourself and deducting the cost of your mortgage or car payment and see how long it will take for you to end up in tax court.
Haha, wow. I use Google Street View a lot for scouting out empty buildings (I squat for housing). It would be amazing if you could see the inside of them without having to break in to do so!
This is fantastic. How lovely would it be if Apple bought this up for iOS Xcode. I have a feeling some day there will be a way to write iOS apps on iOS, provided by Apple.
Again I raise the possibility that laws were not broken. There may have been instances of fraud, but its more than likely that the mess was largely the result of of groupthink and really bad decisions made in good faith.
Common enough that I wouldn't give it a second glance. I regularly see plateless cars in SF, and Mercedes SLs are popular in the Bay Area - stylish without being flashy. Most of the Ferraris, Lamborghinis etc. are down in LA.
You say high frequency trading is bad, others say shorting is bad, and when you try to regulate what is a "valid strategy", all you are doing is injuring the entire market. I can't invest soundly when not all viewpoints are reflected in the price. I'd rather just invest privately.

>(not to mention there are some people in the world who aren't completely amoral and as such wouldn't)

You're implying that everyone follows the same code of ethics. You might not agree with it but for some people it's not in the slightest bit amoral to pirate a movie.
When people bring up this argument, I feel like I'm screaming in a room full of people and everyone is ignoring me.

You cannot make it easy for people and corporations to be interchangeable and then have differing tax rates for each. They MUST have the SAME rate.

eg. I 'own' all my rental properties through LLCs which are themselves 'owned' by a corporation of which I am the sole benefactor. Travel? expensed. Living in my house for free? No problem, house owned by LLC, rent waived by my own corporation. Any living expense whatsoever? No problem, benefits of running/owning the corporation. What then is the point of being an individual on your tax return? Oh yes, I pay my fair share on my income of $1 per year.

Honestly, sometimes I think people like you who bring up these arguments are completely uneducated.

>I don't know, that one is a little fuzzy. Animals are difficult legally. Pets, for example- if we decide they have their own will and it should be illegal to prevent them from going outside, many of them will just up and get eaten.

we somehow manage it with 2-4 year old children which is what most advanced animals (cats, dogs, dolphins, killer whales, apes) are known to be as smart as (the animals may be even smarter, we just can't yet recognize it and communicate accordingly)

Looking back at the history, it was, for example, normal to sell children or to castrate children for specific practical purposes, like Chinese eunuchs or Italian castrati, ie. treating them just like property. Today we are evolved enough to not do it. The same with animals.
This seems unfair to Python 3. The Python community, including the developers of Python 3, have not been encouraging people to migrate to Python 3. In fact, it was never in their roadmap for people to migrate immediately. The common wisdom has always been 'When starting a new project from scratch, if all the libraries you need are ported, and you won't need backwards compatibility down the road, then use Python 3. Otherwise, use Python 2.x'.

It's quite difficult to get people to use your new version when you actively tell them that it's probably not a good idea right now.
ITunes Match Release: Right After October 27?
Apple just sent a notice to developers that iTunes Match data would be deleted on the 27th. Looks like release should be right after if that is anything to go by!
It's funny, I love front-end development and I have the exact opposite problem. Trying to design these in Illustrator would be awful. But HTML+CSS, not too hard.

This is especially the case with buttons. Photoshop is confusing, CSS3 less so.
That's a $120,000 car? Hopefully it looks better from the front, or is extremely comfortable.
I would imagine (purely anecdotal) if you take just installed software then the GNU percentage increases as its generally installed on most systems. I would also imagine in the Linux/BSD world the number of people running without GNU software is in the very low single digits.

It's really difficult to determine the relative importance of one software project at this level over another they reliant on each other. The Linux kernel needs GNU as much as GNU needs the kernel (at the moment anyway). You can run the OS without KDE (hence not calling it KDE/Linux).

I can see Stallman's point as he set out to create an operating system called GNU, created almost all of the parts required which were then used by someone else to create a Kernel which was then packaged up with a different name.

Personally I think you can call GNU/Linux whatever you want as the licence its released under has nothing in there saying you need to give mention to GNU in the name. If you package it up you can call it Fred for all I care and I will refer to it as Fred.
> The term "Intellectual Property" is a misnomer.

No, I get that. Even if you're a capitalist, the concept of intellectual property doesn't make sense.

> As Marx wrote, from your link, " 'theft' as a forcible violation of property presupposes the existence of property."

Obviously the phrase "property is theft" is circular, but in the context it was originally said it makes a bit more sense.

> We do not know how to share physical objects, so assignment of use is natural and necessary. This is not true of intellectual constructs.

"Property" isn't just assigning the use of a particular object to a particular entity, it's also giving to that entity the right to prevent others from using that object (by violence, ultimately). This is arguably okay for "personal property", but what that quote is really referring to is "private property": land, factories, "the means of production". What characterises "private property" is that the entity which has the right to prevent others from using the "property" (the owner of the land or boss of the factory) is not the entity which actually uses the "property" (the workers in the factory or the people who actually work on the farms, or mine the mines, or whatever). This is the sense in which property is theft.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_property#Personal_vers...
From another article:

"Thankfully, political leaders concerned about liberty, innovation and due process have stood up in opposition to this proposal. Senator Ron Wyden, a moderate Democrat from Oregon, has courageously put a hold on the Senate bill because of his concerns about the bill’s infringement of free speech and stifling of innovation.

“This is a question of whether the content sector can use the government as club to go after the innovation sector and everything it represents,” said Wyden at a recent Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco. “This is a cluster bomb where you should be going in with a laser, and the collateral damage to innovation and freedom is huge.”

Additionally, Tea Party leaders like Michelle Bachman have said it is inconsistent with Tea Party values. Consumer groups, legal scholars, venture capitalists, leading entrepreneurs, Internet scientists and YouTube users have all joined in opposition."

Basically, it's less a Left versus Right issue and more an insider versus outsider one. (Though I will point out that the only person who has apparently put much effort into stopping it is a Democrat...)
I just became a paying Prime member, so I got the streaming included now. I agree, it doesn't feel like a "premium" service. Your description of bolting a crappy player to the storefront is dead on. If it wasn't included with my Prime membership, I don't know if I'd pay for access at any level. Hopefully that experience gets better, having more players in this field sure wouldn't hurt.
This ignores the non-financial side of employment decisions. I, for one, would hate to be an investment banker right now, because pretty much everyone I care about would lose nearly all their respect for me. This effect seems to be weaker than money, but it does exist.
Except that one candidate.
You make a good case.

However, I think it's important to acknowledge that corporate taxes are useful for providing an incentive for corporations to do something a certain way. That is, they can avoid the tax if they change their behaviour. (see: equal-opportunities employment, regional commercialisation incentives, emissions control, recycling, etc)

Just to clarify what you're saying here:
Are you saying that simply because a file is encrypted, that it'd be equivalent to the uncompressed size?

There are a fair few modes of encryption (such as CFB, OFB and CTS) out there which ensure that the encrypted data is the same size as the input data. Even if Apple uses a mode which requires padding, the padding should not be so large as to increase the size of the iOS image to the size that you are suggesting.

Your first point contradicts your second one. If they could be passed onto customers so easily, corporations wouldn't spend money on avoiding them, the cost of which also has to be passed onto customers. In reality, the fraction of corporate taxes passed on to the customer is inversely proportional to the elasticity of demand for the good.
