Spooky coincidence: This is exactly the chapter I read yesterday in Hacker and Painters.

Blunder or not, and as much as I love Apple; like Steve said, "They've earned their success, for the most part."

On the other hand, because MS grew so big I feel people started taking software more seriously. It may have shaped how the industry looks at software now. This is only a hunch as I wasn't even around when it was the 80s.
Toy And Child
It really did. I'm still glad I saw it, but definitely made me feel mixed. Made me not want to share it, when I could have easily e-mailed it.
And it really doesn't work for someone who doesn't constantly check twitter/facebook, does not have push notifications enabled for email on my smartphone, etc, etc. I suppose the extra "no really, turn off your phone" is supposed to be clever, but it only makes it a bit more condescending.

I guess I'm not the target audience, though the idea of taking 30 seconds to reflect is valuable to anyone. I would have preferred an even quieter 30 seconds (maybe white or pink noise, or some ocean sounds or something?) The music was a bit loud through my headphones and not to my taste for relaxing. I also would have preferred a soothing grey background rather than blinding white. Oh yeah, and the F11 on a Mac thing...

I didn't stay for the countdown, because I didn't want to listen to the music anymore.

How does it defeat the purpose of the salt?

The purpose of the salt is to defeat time/space tradeoff attacks by inflating the required space to the point of impracticality. ie. 20 bits of salt will increase the size of the rainbow table required a million times.
PG also goes on to say it's not just hard-work. But hard-work AND leverage. Leverage being making decisions that have an impact.

I was reading through Hackers and Painters just yesterday and I did read this very essay then. I'm not sure if the above concept was part of this essay or any other that I might have read then.

So you feel confident in saying that nothing on earth could make these guys improve? I don't believe it. I believe some people just need that "aha" moment. Others don't get it simply because they don't want to understand it.

They buy a new short url: http://BB.GD/shoes/1234

Keep adding sensible folders as is needed, words that customers can remember and numbers that are easy to type in. Hey the QR can still point to this, but give me something I can type in, or even remember and look at later.

By only using QR you are telling the customer that they are too stupid to type in a URL, to lazy to remember one, yet tech savvy enough to know what the barcode actually is.

I don't really know anything about Applescript, but presumably it wouldn't be hard to hook it into the Shift+Vol keys.

There's even extra love for Django specifically:

Absolutely no lock in -- Heroku runs any WSGI app with a completely standard Python/virtualenv/pip runtime. It uses Python 2.7.2 currently.

And of course, the entire Heroku ecosystem is available, such as PostgreSQL and Redis databases, New Relic analytics, etc.

Wait. I thought we lived in a world where a staggering majority of the 7 billion people now alive (an absolutely unprecedented population level) manage to have more than enough food to eat from day to day. A world that largely has forgotten what true food insecurity is like. A world that pushes the limits of the world's carrying capacity. A world that is the product of the most efficient, integrated systems mankind has ever built to extract the world's resources.

So how can this be true while we also apparently have been enslaved by computers and corporate overlords who refuse to let us eat?

My conclusion:
1) You use the word 'slavery' very loosely.
2) You ignore the ability of population increases to nullify productivity gains.
3) You have let your emotions overpower your thoughts and so instead of analysing issues you rant.
isn't 5+⅔ = 5 ⅔ really easy to get wrong?
The irony she brings up has been something that's been bothering me for quite some time--namely, why do institutions that study how we learn not apply those learnings? Granted, large institutions usually do go with the path of least resistance, but surely there must be some trickle down effect?

It would be ridiculous in any other discipline to not use newly discovered/developed and provably more efficient processes than follow tradition (there are exceptions, of course), why is it not the case with education?
By that analogy you should be thankful to everyone everyday since everyone farm the fields, build the roads, build the trucks, drive the trucks, clean the roads, distribute the food, build the warehouses, run the logistics software, etc that put food on your table everyday.

Also, those engineers and designers came from other fields because there wasn't a real PC industry until Steve and Bill came along. Even those engineers that worked with him commended him for being able to see the bigger picture.
Thanks man. I meant to include a link.
spoiler alert, if you want to decode them

q01.gif counts in dots and associates it with binary X and O. The most often repeated symbol (like a double-dashed integral) looks like a separator, or more probably an equal sign. It follows that then rightmost side of each equation is numbers too, in decimal form since 10 is one followed by zero. Underside are a list of prime numbers in base 10. The last line is a Mersenne prime, precisely 2^3021377-1, which I suppose was among the largest primes proven at that time. It also conveniently defines minus symbol and exponent notation by offset.

The XO on top define page number in binary, and also define page orientation. The middle symbol certainly defines some chapter.

The symbols are certainly so convoluted to resist bit rot and/or tampering, offering some form of redundancy, and making them unambiguous upon rotation.

Relevant enough... my brother was visiting me here in SF and found a message in a bottle, but we can't even identify the language. Some people have suggested Mongolian. Here's a high-res picture: http://andrewbadr.com/files/tmp/bottle.jpg

It was in a bottle of cheap California wine, so we figure they probably threw it from here. It's still fun though. Anyone out there who can read Mongolian?

The Email That Launched Airbnb
You're obviously exaggerating what I said for effect, but that's the gist of it, yeah.

I didn't mention his sex crime accusations, and I only said that there's no actual evidence that the US government directly influenced Visa and Mastercard. Surely it's possible Visa, MasterCard, etc. made their decisions on their own, but I honestly don't know, and wouldn't be surprised if it was a "favor."

But for the rest, the numbers speak for themselves, and it's pretty much common sense. Everytime there's major leak, they got a ton of money. They've haven't been publishing, they're not getting attention, nobody's donating to them. From their own charts, they made more in post-blockade February '11 than they did in pre-blockade Sep '10. Again, most of their 2010 money... more than 50% of all their money came through channels that are still totally available.

It is true that they were taking in more with PayPal than through transfers before December. There's obviously no way to know how much of potential paypal donations were lost versus replaced by wire donations, but it remains that most of their money in 2010 came from transfers. In December, about 2/3s of it came from transfers. The steep drop-off from December to January in their charts has nothing to do with the blockade, right? They got 398,365.60EUR through wire transfer in December and (estimating from their charts) about 20K in January. Is that not clearly just interest from the embassy cables dying down?

They're claiming they've lost out on "tens of millions of pounds" because of this 'blockade.' That is a ridiculous number, considering they made just more than 1M last year. Somehow they expected to average more than twice that every month? Despite not publishing any new sources of material? Or even accepting any new material? Ridiculous.

This is an organization that accepted credit card payments for 46 DAYS and they're coming on like Visa and Mastercard are ruining them?

Everything Wikileaks has done since Assange started talking with Brad Manning has been hyped-up, conspiracy-theory, drama-queen publicity stunt and this 'financial blockade' is no exception.

Tell me more about this bridge you have, though.

So it stores data using RS encoding on multiple pieces.

I've had a quick look around the website, and the most information i could sort of squeeze out was from the blog.

The arch page https://nimbus.io/architecture/ is devoid of architecture.

I don't see any mention of compression or dedup.

I don't see any mention of network level failover/redundency.

I don't see any mention of high level CNC functionality/db arch (ie. swift's notorious file replicated SQLite database....)

I don't see a download source button. Is that just me?

Overall, sounds very interesting and rather promising. Who are the people behind Nimbus.io?

Really?

Assange did literally ransom the full wikileaks document dump (including the secret cables) for his personal well-being legal immunity.

If the goal was to create a distributed organization w/o obvious single points of failure, Assange certainly did nothing to guarantee those ends.
Show HN: How to Create Google+ Pages, Customize and Share
Google requested businesses hold off on using Google+, and that they (Google) were taking their time to get it right. With the introduction of Google+ Pages, that limitation should now be gone.

At least, it will be gone when people can create their own Google+ Pages. Right now, only the privileged few can do so, meaning large companies like Dell, Toyota, or big names like The Muppets. However, Google has said that it has started rolling out the ability to create Google+ Pages to all users who want to create one today, but as is usually the case with Google's cloud-based service, this is a gradual roll-out, that will take some time.

Eventually, you should be able to go here to create a Google+ Page.

Google has also added Google+ Pages to search results, and a "Direct Connect" feature that will allow users to search for Google+ pages with a "+" modifier to a search query. For example, to find Toyota's Google+ Page, search for +Toyota in Google's search engine.

Google+ sucks so far, and the stuff they are adding does nothing to improve it, just adds more cruft.

Lately I am seeing a big "What's hot on Google+" section on top of the feed, showing antiquated Youtube memes from people I don't know. No way to remove it.

They are obviously trying hard to appeal to the mainstream audience (Hang out with Kermit and Ms. Piggy!). It seems weird for Google, unauthentic somehow. Their core 'fans', if that word applies, are engineers - I wonder if they wouldn't be better served seeding Google+ with the geek community and letting that user base evangelize the service.

This site gives me the impression that after successfully completing the course I will be able to be hired as a developer. Assuming that I pick up the concepts and can apply them - is this reasonable? My gut tells me no, but I'm not in the business.

At night (and in the early mornings and sometimes at lunch...) I have been teaching myself to program Rails apps. I use books to learn concepts (and RailsCasts too) and I rely on Google and Stack Overflow for problem solving when I get stuck.

I have learned a ton, not only about the language but also about good programming practices. For the latter, I tend to first learn the concept from a book, but only internalize it after having suffered some pain which could have been avoided if I had been using that particular practice. So far I would include orthogonality, version control, testing and asynchronously running processes which I don't control to this list. Behavior Driven Development is also now starting seem like a real benefit and not just overhead so I will try that with my next feature addition.

I guess my question is, how far down the road does one have to go before they could be considered as a potential employee?

It's sort of back to the future, like AOL Keywords all over again.

http://wanderingstan.com/2008-05-22/the_demise_aol_keywords_...

An TV advertisement for Ford used to end with “Go to AOL
Keyword: Ford”. AOL wanted their keywords to be THE gold
standard addresses for content online. When someone
thought “I wonder what Ford is up to?”, AOL hoped people
would launch their software and type the “ford” keyword.
To the extent that Ford Motor Company believed this, AOL
could charge a lot of money for that 4-letter keyword.

..[but now] Ford can now tell people to go to
“WWW.ford.com” instead of “AOL Keyword: ford”. What a huge
difference there is between WWW and AOL! WWW is not going
to get bought by Time-Warner. WWW is not going to set
rules about what can or cannot be put on Ford’s site. WWW
is not going to show advertisements against Ford’s
content. WWW is not going to prohibit Ford from sharing
data with 3rd parties. WWW is not going butt into the
conversation between Ford and it’s customers.

One key difference, of course, is that AOL Keywords weren't crowdsourced in quite the same way. Anyone can set up a Google Page, it's not as bottlenecked/finite in the same way that getting an AOL Keyword defined was. Doesn't require a "VP Bizdev" meeting but rather a form submission.

Moreover, when users query "+Ford" rather than "Ford", Google knows they actively want to see Ford's point of view, rather than sites that are potentially critical of Ford.

Obviously this will be used for people search as well after enough advertising tells people to use "+Foo". It's direct navigation to someone's homepage rather than trying to search and hope to find someone in the first page of results or so. It makes person lookup a lot easier (and dare I say more scriptable) than even Facebook.

Is there any obvious disadvantage? I suppose many businesses of significance may simply want their Google Page to redirect to their main www site.

Want to become an Internet billionaire? Move to Africa
"Build by SpiderOak on the same proven backend storage network which powers hundreds of thousands of backups"

This concerns me slightly, backup storage is a whole different world to real time data storage. Backups are write once, read occasionally, some people use S3 as a make-shift CDN, so constantly reading data.

Parity based repplication is great for backups, but would it not have performance implications if every request is reading from multiple disks/servers/nodes? I'm not an expert on hardware, but I would have thought being able to read an entire file of one disk is faster than having to put together pieces of data from multiple disks, anyone want to correct/inform me?

If you can offer me a serious alternative to S3 at a cheaper price, and open source software, I can't wait to try it out. I might sound negative but I just wanted to put across my first thoughts on having a look around the site.
