Not for Steam forums they don't, they're using vBulletin and it doesn't appear to be modified beyond the theme.

That Steam forums requires a separate registration shows that there is unlikely to be any integration between Steam and the forum software.

However their point is that if you used the same username and password on both the Steam forums and Steam itself (with likely the same username) then by virtue of Steam forums being compromised, your main account should be considered compromised.

In that respect, the tea-party-affiliated "53%" movement has more or less the same structure, but disagrees over how to split the water carrier/drinker boundary.
If a person has trouble getting a US work visa, wouldn't that person also have trouble freely travelling in and out of the USA?

No. Getting an immigrant visa for purposes of employment (E) is different than getting a temporary visa for purposes of a business visit (B-1), training (H-3), transit (C), or tourism (B-2). This is the same with most countries.

It's very easy to imagine a self-employed foreign entrepreneur who denied a visa to live in the US, but can easily make regular business trips to visit potential clients.
That's not true at all. If you're good enough that they want to keep you around, then you automatically vest your stock. They're just not giving you x% of the future value of the company up front, and it shouldn't be thought of that way when joining.
This looks interesting, something innovative from Nokia. That device didn't look that usable, but it does open many possibilities for new features for future phones.
I believe prefix match should weigh more than infix match... except for countries that start with an article (The Philippines, The Netherlands) where infix match works better. The Netherlands is now number 11 on the list after typing "Ne".
>>You can stop - wildly successful entrepreneurs are not saints. I think Steve Jobs is an even clearer example of this.

This is a very valid point. In fact there is a statement from Steve Jobs's biography, that he wasn't too much for loyalty in fact more like he was anti loyalty. There is nothing great about this thing.

Screwing people just because they can, for absolutely no mistake of theirs has often been the quality of a lot of people with power. This sort of a attitude comes because they think they are invincible, powerful and can do anything they can and get away with it.

And we are responsible for some extent too. We keep idolizing bad boys so much. Ultimately being bad begins to look cool.
Perhaps Adobe's announcement that they are abandoning Flash in favor of HTML5 for mobile will be seen as the turning point when mobile web application development begins to be a serious contender to native.

This Zynga position is the reason why most Nigerian politicians have second wives.

A poor young man finds a woman wo will marry him a starter in life, poor with fair education.

20 years down the line after the woman has bore him kids, supported his career, this man becomes a Governor. Then aha! He realizes his mid aged wife is not really educated, not fit for the position of a first lady.

He does not want the situation of a high school educated first lady.
Access or ownership: Which will be the default?
I get the impression that credit card information is stored in the same database as login information etc.

Why?

My first thought is that it should be stored on, and never leave, a completely separate system where you have a very limited number of interactions available (reducing the attack vector and making it much easier to spot suspicious activity).

I.e. Charge customer x with y for game z. Refund customer for purchase i (only valid within the refund-period). Add(overwrite)/delete customer data. Where all interactions must be signed.

And nothing more.

Anything less than that and I'm skeptical as to whether you could be considered careful of you customers data. Storing credit card information in the same database as all other user data for a service like steam should be a crime and if it's closely coupled with the forum it's even worse (not that I know if that's the case).

Disclaimer: I don't know any details about this incident more than that Valve seems to be open about it taking place (great!).
That makes sense, thanks for sharing.

Yup, I don't actually have a problem with this - if only it meant domestic production would be more viable but that is unlikely. However won't a wage increase for thay many workers just mean their local inflation will also rise?

I still want to know we can buy 50 cent items from China off ebay and have them mailed individually for free. How on earth does their postal service (and our local country's) mail something that cheaply? Cannot quite grasp the logic.
I wonder how much longer this sort of thing will need to keep going until others start following their lead.

If these people were underperforming, then why didn't Pincus address the issue before now? Why do it now, when Zynga appears to be preparing to IPO?

This strikes me as pure greed. Pincus offered people shares as part of a package to persuade them to come work at his risky startup. He made a deal and now he wants to go back on it.

Say what you like about Bill Gates but he was perfectly comfortable with early Microsoft employees like Andrea Lewis growing rich from their share options.

PS: Lots of people talk about the greed on Wall Street but it strikes me that the prospect of riches is causing greed to rear its ugly head in the startup scene too. What's more, people seem to turn a blind eye to it if the perpetrator has been successful. It's disappointing and I think it bodes ill for the entire sector.
Startups for scientific people.
what do you think about that?

I like how you completely ignored the main point I was making (namely that freedom of movement is an exclusive achievement of the European Union, only available to people living in EU member states, and that Schengen has nothing whatsoever to do with it) and quibbled with my framing of the EU and EEC.

You were incorrect in bringing up Schengen. That is my main point. Try and respond to it. Now to the sidelines.

Yes, the EEC was changed when it was renamed in 1993. Not radically, though. It still is mostly about economics and its main goal is to create a common market. That includes freedom of movement. The famous two pillars that were added in 1993 – namely security and justice – haven’t seen all that much love from EU member states and are for the purpose of this discussion irrelevant.

The EEC was political, the EU is political. Making a distinction there doesn’t make any sense. The European Parliament is much older than the EU. The European Commission is much older than the EU. Those are all political institutions.

Yes, how those elements work together was changed in 1993 but that’s it.

I really wish font handling and rendering were a bit simpler to understand and troubleshoot in Linux.

Recently I had an annoying problem where some web pages weren't rendering the fonts correctly. It turned out the reason was a font config file for a Chinese bitmap font was causing firefox's font rendering to alter - both chromium and another browser were working as expected (according to the css rules). Tracking down the problem took several weeks and several dead ends and I only stumbled on the answer by accident anyway.
The guy is telling it how it is, you are behaving like an 11 year-old. The world is not a nice place, it gets less nice when money is involved, grow up.
I am not sure where are you from. I come from the area described in "Gomorra" by Saviano. We have rampant criminality and corruption. People get actually shouted around here.

Those are outside forces that will come and knock to your door as soon as your activity start to be profitable. People will ask you for money or favors or they will just make your life difficult just so they don't have to envy your success.

So, you are right, but you are also taking a superficial look at the problem. Of course you can start a company, but you will have to be much stronger and determinate and be able to deal with the fact that nobody, not even your family and friends, will support you.
My understanding is that this is a place to connect scientists to startups. like angel list for PhDs.

things to think about:
1. niche: different industries have radically different requirements so pick a good one (ex: Pharma vs Geophysicists)
2. security: can't really show off things that may be under NDA or propreitary (that's where the money is)
3. MVP: barebones FB for scientists?

I don't think they are related. To me, it sounds like Steam was hacked on a number of vectors by people going after it specifically, the same way Sony was gone after.
Google support for Go in their products seems half-hearted at most. Seems like only a few engineers in core Go team are working on it.

AppEngine doesn't support Go (no, without windows Go SDK it is not supported).

Android doesn't support native full featured Go apps, although in theory it seems like a perfect match.

Given that lack of support, I'm not even sure it is as widely used inside Google, or the story about inside usage is just a marketing.
I've never really played any of these games, do they not involve at least some level of skill or strategy?

If youre using less.js, there's no need to write custom code to auto refresh the CSS, it has that feature built in:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

Could. But it’s not all that simple. The motive behind allowing freedom of movement is to create a common market. Work has to be able to move freely for something to be a common market. The same has to be true for capital and goods. All that isn’t as simple as abolishing customs. Regulations can, for example, create powerful barriers in the market (for example when France and Spain have different and mutually exclusive regulations for mechanical wine harvesters) and a big part of what the EU does (and for what it is often ridiculed) is to harmonize regulation.

It’s possible that freedom of movement could be disadvantageous for one country if a common market isn’t also created and that’s were the complications start, were it’s necessary to have some sort of common political structure (and not just a treaty signed by the respective heads of government) in place.
Thanks. The first time an esoteric language actually seems interesting to learn ;)
In Germany: Karlsruhe and München have the best Comp Sci universities. Aachen and Saarbrücken are also top.

Since i live in Karlsruhe and like it, i can tell more about that. The SAP Campus is nearby and there are lots of small SAP consulting/supporting companies around. Karlsruhe is sometimes called the internet-capital of Germany. The biggest german hosting and email provider is here (United Internet with web.de, GMX, 1&1, and more). Startup culture exists, but not that great.

Propaganda: Karlsruhe invented the bicycle (Drais 1817), the car (Benz 1914), radio (Hertz 1887) and recieved the first email in Germany (1984).
Yes. You could also say that the study shows how students behave when you tell them they're average. I believe there was another study that showed how a good music student could be turned into a bad music student just by telling him he was bad.
What really is a important question to ask now is Would anybody worth their salt really want to work or deal with them anymore?

> I can handle making the frontend and backend of my site, but I can't necessarily make it pretty - especially because I honestly have kind of tacky taste.

That's exactly what I'm like... and for the same reason I think bootstrap is a science-send. It raises the lowest common denominator to something almost respectable.

As someone pointed out above, making use of 'less' allows you to rapidly test different color schemes... thereby controlling potential tackiness.

Domestic production is already viable for many, many consumer products. The margins are so high that the minimum wage difference doesn't matter.

It's stuff like 99-cents-for-ten-gallons shampoo that is most profitably produced in China, and that will probably remain the case.

I think there are certain business cultures that might celebrate this kind of approach as an innovative scheme for maximizing profits, where there is a philosophy that anything that makes one rich must be a good thing.

If nothing else this sort of approach might get one a well paid consulting gig in maximizing the throughput of a child labour force or something similar?
Ran out of capital letters there towards the end. That's nice work, Lou.
Unless you are uniquely valuable, you will undoubtedly go through a standard hiring process. Expect to not be hired for your "own job" -- it's not yours any more, it's theirs.

Seriously. For most people at an acquisition, this is the end of the road. They get a couple of weeks or months and then they're gone.

If this is going to reduce consumption globally, then this is good news IMO. One of the best things we can do for the planet is consume and import less crap.

Hacker Halted in Numbers
Hundreds of the world’s hackers descended on Miami for Hacker Halted 2011. The reason? To learn about the latest hacks that will hit your IT systems in the coming months.<p>Firebrand was on a fact-finding mission, to add the latest techniques to the world’s most popular Ethical Hacking course. Below lists the seven most shocking stats from the conference.<p>Robert Chapman, CEO of Firebrand Training says: “The stats from Hacker Halted are a reminder that we’re all more vulnerable than ever. There are thousands of new threats every day, and there currently aren’t enough ‘cyber defenders’ to deal with them.”<p>“The scary thing is that it’s not always about money. One hacker demonstrated how a wireless insulin pump could effectively be used to deliver fatal injections. It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie. But it’s here now, and it’s very real.”<p>The numbers<p><pre><code> 2,000,000 – the number of new malicious websites detected every month
100,000 – the number of new malware screened every day
400% - the rise in Android mobile malware compared to 2010
£50m – the estimated global cost of the Zeus trojan virus
110 – average days to fix a security vulnerability on a website
44% - percentage of the world’s websites that have a serious security exposure every day of the year
70% - percentage of IT professionals and chief executives that say mobile computing is now the biggest threat to IT security</code></pre>

Not exactly, minimum wage laws aren't actually market forces and I think two things are likely a) further inflation in essential goods, seeing how China already has inflation problems this is probably a response to that but will only add fuel to the fire b) fewer jobs, especially considering the part of their economy based on construction - and that bubble is bursting ATM. China has to compete with India, the rest of Asia, and automation on top of that.

This doesn't look like it's going to end well.
Why Need to Hire a PHP Developer for web development?
I'm not making an argument here, just comparing the situation with a Trolley problem and wondering what details are most troublesome for people.

I think it was probably a stupid decision by Pincus to do this, but not necessarily an unethical one. ISOs with a vesting period are not money in the bank, and anyone who thinks of them that way has been foolish.

The ranking may have also a role in this: ranking on a grid is usually presented left-to-right top-to-bottom, but that's not the order the eye scans (while in a vertical layout the top-to-bottom order is natural).

This paper from Yahoo Research contains an interesting analysis of the problem:

Optimizing Two-Dimensional Search Results Presentation

http://www.chierichetti.name/papers/optimizing2d.pdf?attredi...
exactly, I find navigating a vertical list much less 'stressful' than trying to understand the ordering of a matrix while trying to digest the actual product info.

Also the eye is attracted first to the product images then moves naturally to the right to read the description, with the matrix the eye has to move less naturally downward to read the related product info.
Krasin is right, most of the stuff on tinkercad.com is written in Go. There are a few inner loops that use C++ to get better SSE optimizations.
The latter half of your comment reveals Zynga's deceit in pulling this, and why it's not just another case of grudgingly correct capitalism. Zynga used the promise of unvested shares as motivation for its workers. Taking it away now is akin to promising delicious, gourmet cheese to a mouse while it runs on a wheel for a few years, then saying, "Hey, thanks, but a renewed evaluation of your performance indicates you're more deserving of some more bread crumbs every year, no cheese." You can't reneg on valuation made during the early stage.

I don't soeak for anyone else, but I've always thought that an ocassional witty comment was fine, it's just lazy joking that's reviled. So for example, pun threads amd lowbrow memes are discouraged.

The guidelines for submissions speak to piquing intellectual curiousity. If there was such a guideline for cracking a joke, it might be "anythng that uses humour to sneak an insight into the conversation."

The post above made me laugh and certainly makes a point about the morale at Zynga. Well done!

p.s. There is another kind of wit that is explicitly discouraged, the "witty reply." That is a special case where a comment tries to make fun of another comment. As a general rule, this lowers the tone of the discussion by emphasizing rhetoric over ideas. This isn't the case here, making fun of Pincus is not the same thing as making fun of a comment or making fun of the OP.
Wrong. They're saying "I know I gave you this, and put a lock in so you had to stay, but now it's worth more than I think you deserve so I'm going back on my agreement. Sorry you worked here so long for below market wages".
