From their "What's the Catch" Page 550 minutes, 150 texts, and 300 MB of data using the cell (non wifi) network is what they refer to as their "fair use threshold" and they say that you will get a few warnings to use less cell data and more wifi. If you continue to go over, your plan will be cancelled. Or in their more polite phrasing "they'll help you find a traditional cell provider that is better suited for your needs"
RepublicWireless.com just went live with all the details. Here's the catch (they're quite transparent about it):

The phone monitors how much data you're sending over Wifi vs cellular, and if you're using a disproportionate amount of cell data compared to the rest of the community, they can boot you.

"The best way to know how you're doing is by checking out your Cellular Usage Index (CUI). If it's too high, we'll let you know and give you tips to bring it down. You have plenty of time. But meanwhile, you still pay a flat fee of $19/month no matter what."

Streaming protocols are in a bit of flux right now. RTSP never caught on much and it has problems with NATs because it uses UDP. RTMP is seen as a proprietary Adobe protocol. Apple, MS, and Adobe have all proposed adaptive/live streaming protocols built on HTTP, but I haven't seen much convergence. A lot of software is implementing Apple's protocol because it's the only one supported by MobileSafari.

Unfortunately, these protocols are based on the MP4 or transport stream containers and AFAIK VP8 only has a mapping for Matroska, so it's not obvious how to use these protocols to stream WebM. You can find plenty of WebM "streaming" hacks, but I don't think any of them support seeking or dynamic bitrate.

I don't think we have established such a precedent. Wikileaks is still up. You can still donate to them. Visa and Mastercard have decided not to allow them as a customer, but I know of no evidence that says it was ordered by the US government (that's not to say it wasn't).

Wikileaks's claim that this 'blockade' has shut them down is just based on the fact that they haven't been receiving a lot of donations since the embassy cable leak (http://www.wikileaks.org/Banking-Blockade.html). Of course, they haven't done anything interesting since then, either. Look at their own charts, and you see that their income is heavily correlated with major releases (etc. Collateral Murder in April, Embassy cables in December) and their current donations don't look that far removed from, say, September or May 2010.

Even their own financial statements (http://wauland.de/files/2010_Transparenzbericht-Projekt04_de...) say that most of their money came wire transfer (which is still possible and fully legal). This is definitely more an issue of people not wanting to donate than it is being not able to. Obviously, the best way to raise more funds would be to do more high-profile work; WikiLeaks is choosing to shut down all their high profile work.

You say the government shut them down, but in fact they shut themselves down, as your parent comment mentions. They shut down their super-useful, award-winning site (eventually to be put back up as a read-only archive at http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/WikiLeaks) and re-purposed themselves entirely to hyping up the five things they got from Brad Manning. Now, they're out of money, they're out of juicy Brad Manning leaks, they haven't even been accepting anything new since they shut themselves down, and so they're gonna drum up their little government-conspiracy thing that they do very, very well, to try to raise some more money.

It's interesting that in this older essay pg suggests focusing on number of users as a good metric for adding value. Nowadays this is called a vanity metric and everyone is looking for actionable metrics based on cohort analysis etc. It shows how fast the best practices for startups are evolving.
"If you're a good hacker in your mid twenties, you can get a job paying about $80,000 per year."

Wow, things change fast. Isn't there a thread talking about certain mid twenties in Google having $250k per year lately? It was written only 6 years ago.
You must be exaggerating. I have a SD960 and it kicked the crap out of my 3G, and I'm no photographer to speak of. I can set a custom white balance, aperture and focus off-center if I want. With my 3G there isn't much control at all.

My 3G was handy if I forgot my P&S at home, but it was just a fallback, nothing more. I don't know if I'll replace my Canon with my 4S, but we'll see.
I would disagree for ML class too. The course is designed keeping in mind to clear the basic of Machine Learning and maths behind the intuition.

He said put brains into it.

Not in a sense: "Throw your brains in for zombies to have a party". But in a sense that one should try and think and find protocols which are elegant in a sense that it makes reasoning about and using them easy and simple.

I agree that coming up with SOAP and XML-RPC took quite some brains and effort, too bad that some really good people had to be lobotomized for it.
The tone and nature of this oddly reminds me of a point in the video game Earthbound, where part way through the game you take a coffee break with one of the NPCs. It serves no purpose other than to give you a break and reflect on the game.

The essay is about how to make wealth, not capture it. Know the difference.

The importance of capture is skimmed over a bit too much in pg's essay, in my opinion. He writes "for much of human history... the only ways to acquire [wealth] rapidly [was] by inheritance, marriage, conquest, or confiscation. Naturally wealth had a bad reputation."

Wealth-by-confiscation is far from dead, and is in fact alive and kicking. Excepting the government, no one can print money; hence, the only way to get it is from other people, who don't part with it willingly. The separation of others from their money is the real business, and those who specialize in it or aid others in it (salesmen, advertisers [Google, Facebook], lawyers, marketers, those who provide marketplaces [Amazon, eBay, Viaweb], payment facilitators [PayPal, banks]) will find themselves much better paid than those who "merely" create wealth. The same is true for those who guard wealth against those who would take it: tax accountants, lawyers, security system vendors (one of the more lucrative jobs in my town is sales for a security systems company---double whammy), and defense contractors (on a national level).

Today I threw a kill switch on work I'd done for a client that was seemingly impervious to invoices. In two hours I had an email titled "Urgent Matter," and two hours later I had a check in hand (five minutes later the client's software was working just fine again, if you're curious).

So while I would much prefer to think of myself as a developer, today I got paid for being an extortioner instead.

FourWhere: Map Your Social Media
Nice idea... but I don't like how it implies that I'm wired on social media and notifications. Seems almost patronizing and condescending. Yes, I check my email and facebook often. Yes, I do have a smartphone that gives me push notifications for a lot of things. Yes, I check twitter. Check, check, check.

Does this mean I never take a break from time to time to think? That I don't (or can't) enjoy quiet time? That I'm glued to my digital life every second of the day? That I need some snarky web app to tell me how to "relax"?
You cannot, but the apps installed via Xcode have the same restrictions. In-app purchasing is at a much higher level than the kernel-enforced sandboxing rules that this exploit was affecting.
Yes. With Google no longer providing search result API (not even paid version, the last I checked) people are turning to BOSS/Bing/(anything else?)
Not yet. ScalienDB uses synchronous replication which works only works inside the datacenter. Across datacenters is a completely different use-case coming in 2012.
So how do you prove that it's possible to get this kind of exploit into the store unless you submit it to the store?
"HTML1.0 was a local optimum. Somewhere there is another, better optimum. The W3C appears to be willing to travel the Himalayas of suboptimal to find it."

I don't think they're even going in the general direction of better optimum.

Here is what I think that optimum should include:

- Better document model (vs no document model at all, which seems to be where it's all headed right now).

- Separation of content, layout and styling. Yes, into three parts, rather than the two we have right now.

- Partial caching and user-side includes that aren't a blob of ugly, shortsighted hacks. Something that's works with the document model, not against it. It's absolutely ridiculous that I have to write custom code to prevent the browser from re-downloading (and the server from re-generating) page headers so on.

- Significant improvement of forms. New UI elements, support for pure-HTML put/delete requests, different format for sending data that has structure (vs only key-value pairs).
Then there will be a mere 0.0000000027 bottles per square meter of the ocean. I'll leave working the numbers for cubic meters up to you, but sufficed to say it will hardly matter.

And what harm will these bottles cause, to anything but human aesthetic? Little to none.
It is a good news for anyone having an eye for a vertical search engine. With your device, total cost of seed data (Assuming about 40TB) comes below one thousand dollars.
I think this bug was also mentioned at the android developer lab in paris. But beside the point that this should be fixed: Do you expect your app to become more visible if your customers can browse through the whole search list?

As far as I know, most people never look beyond the first 10 or so results in a Google web search result. So why should that be different here?

IMHO there are so many apps in all the app markets right now, that a search without page rank is as useful to the customer as altavista was in the early days.

security is about defense in depth, and doing as much as is feasible to mitigate damage. Proper password hashing wont protect you from a break in on a primary system, but it could very easily prevent a break in on secondary ones.

Also, a note to anyone reading the above post, that is not how bcrypt works and is incredibly insecure.
Right now, only 20% of the US workforce are self-employed, and a quarter of them are professionals (lawyers and doctors mostly). That means 16% of the population are running a business which is not expected to be a medical or legal business.

Most people esp. in the current economy, are not in a position to turn down a job offer. This means they want work more than the company wants to hire them. This is a major source of a power differential. If, on the other hand, the boundary between employment and self-employment is porous, this means that companies not only have to compete with eachother to hire said janitor, but they also have to compete with the fact that they could hire said janitor's ability to be self-employed.

The point is it is a clear shift.

Right now minimum wage laws are too low. We should at least set them high enough that people have no need of welfare when having a minimum wage job. As it is they are a nice way to tell us we are protecting the worker when in fact we are doing no such thing. When you combine it with welfare, you have solid incentives for low-paid workers not to become self-employed and thus the welfare and minimum wage scheme we have right now are actual tools in the class war by the wealthy against everyone else.
What is so special about plastic? In thousands of years there will be geological layers filled with the stuff, fundamentally no different than all the rock layers and fossil layers laid down at any other time.
Thanks for the clarification. However, this does not sound like something I could use in practice.

If I have two transactions and one of them is aborted because of the changes done by the other transaction what am I as a developer supposed to do? Retry? I hope not, because a retry is in other words serializing the execution. One after another.

So, if I have a system with a lot of concurrency (i.e. bank accounts and transfers) I'd better not use NuoDB because I'd get a lot of transfers aborted, not good. If I have a system with a very little write conflicts I'd go for serializability because that gives 100% consistency and will be fast anyway due to very little conflicts.

From the wikipedia link you posted, it is fairly clear that the Snapshot isolation is good when you don't need consistency. For that you'd have to either abort every time there is a conflict or introduce write-write conflict (ie. serializing).
It worked very well on an iPhone. Taps moved it forwards, and I was surprised there was a dedicated mobile site.

No it is not, because the salt is stored in a plaintext or easily reversible format somewhere, and has to be in order for authentication to work, if you are in a position to grab the hashes, it will also be trivial to grab the salts. The point of the salt is not to add some padding bits to the password. Salts should be publicly knowable without it causing a loss of security.

The one and _only_ use of a salt is to prevent precomputation attacks (rainbow tables).

It's a nice idea in theory, but if it gets popular it'll just become more expensive as it eats into the bottom line of the bigger carriers. It's like POTS/DSL: you can't cut out the middle man when they own the equipment. Even Virgin upped their fees.

The fact of the matter is, if there was stable free wifi everywhere many of us wouldn't be using cell networks. But it's not going to happen. Europe is even worse; better hope there's a McDonalds near you when you want to make a call.

I'm going to bet that most people are just suckers for the brand-new expensive-yet-crappy smartphone and getting locked into another phone on another untested carrier isn't going to sway many of them. And Wifi on all the time? There goes your battery life.

(p.s. I don't know what kind of phone they're offering first, but that disassembled phone on their front page is identical to my LG Optimus V - from Virgin)
