Theoretically, frictionless sharing makes a lot of sense if the user gives the app explicit permission.

There is an app my friend Joel showd me called If This Then That http://ifttt.com/ that allows apps to trigger frictionless sharing when certain actions are taken. For instance, I might want to only share songs I rate or those I 'star/favorite without the extra "are you sure" dialog.

The app maker/content owner should make it easy for me to set it up. They can create defaults but must allow me to opt out.

Because of this guardian stalking sharing app, I have deliberately never clicked any on the shared links that flooded my FB wall (past tense because I am on a FB break)

It is unfortunate that facebook actions put 'social graph' and page views before their customers. I do not blame them though, when you have 500 million people logging in almost everyday, you tend to believe you can get away with almost anything.

Yes and no.

Remember the interface between the vm and hypervisor is standardised and it is running many other functionaly identical vms. Also remember that platform they are running on is usually homogeneous, very well maintained, monitored, and understood.

Also keep in mind that with 'hardware issues' you can reploy onto another machine in minutes, rather then having to wait for say a replacement part from dell/etc. Your standard procedures should come into play in both cases (Failing to a secondary server, bringing a tertiary server into standby, etc.)

Best Sci-Fi books for December
These authorisations might be acting as a filter. Being an app developer and someone who's read a lot about FB, I'm very wary of authorising anything, whereas someone who's less informed won't give it a second thought.

Basically, these filters are only funnelling people to the website who are more likely to click on ads and fall for scams.
Hot search travel
Sometimes... the Yahoo app doesn't do that, for example. Personally I just hit cancel, as I will never authorize a Facebook app to do anything, ever. If the article sounds good, I can just go search for it on google and read it 5 seconds later without handing my Facebook API auth to some idiots.
Since that Reddit list of best sci-fi books I have churned my way through 4 novels; all of them have been absolutely excellent (Armour, and three of the Hyperion saga [just started the last one])
Have you seen how big main(){} is? On my system it is 22,427 bytes. A simple printf("hello world\n"); Adds about 200 bytes bringing it up to 22,637. That adds all the functionality of printf, variadic arguments, everything prinf does that your version doesn't. There is a basic C runtime that goes with all C programs. Every programming language besides assembly does something similar. You could always run strip on the executable that knocks the printf version down to 8,192 bytes.

How is it ironic when that is what the article is in favour of over the passive sharing of Facebook's Open Graph? The critique isn't of social media, but the invasive nature of these new passive sharing posts.
I wouldn't assume that VMware have to make money off this project directly. It's enough that they keep customers locked into their eye-wateringly expensive hypervisor (which Cloud Foundry is built on).

In some senses we have this already: with some clouds you just have to boot a node from a tiny PXE image or a USB key, and it'll discover the cloud, join in, and VMs will migrate onto it.

Unfortunately physics simply won't permit transparent scaling of workloads across nodes. For any application involving communication between parts (anything not "embarrassingly parallel") messaging between the parts gets slower and harder as the parts get further away and there are more of them communicating. 1000 nodes have a million possible connections between them, so you can't directly wire them. You need a switching fabric, so your messages have to deal with multiple hops and contention -- slower and harder.
That is crazy Orwellian. "We have an obligation to your parents to keep you safe, so we're going to beat you with batons and shoot pepper spray down your throats".

Commercial breaks are a special case. They prevent you from consuming the content until they end. Which is obviously not a great user experience (Although people do need to go make a cup of tea or have a toilet break).

Online and print advertising doesn't prevent consumption of content, or stop the user going about his business for 5 minutes.

Still disagree. I'm tech 'savvy', but I don't put myself in the HN crowd. I'm a consumer. I love advertising. I love buying stuff. I'm what I consider to be in the 'mainstream'. I can avoid ads, but I choose not to.

From a country with such a large obesity problem, this news really doesn't suprise me.
"""Because we appear to be unable to move past the most immediately obvious point, we can't fit any other thoughts in our head, like, "maybe there is a real societal problem that needs to be addressed here""""

You do understand that sometimes there just is not "a real societal problem"to be addressed.

"""It's boring to have a bunch of people with more or less the exact same life experiences competing to agree with each other."""

There is a problem of boredom with people "agreeing"? Really? We should disagree just for the fun of it? How about people agreeing on evolution?

Also, the "more or less exact same life experiences" part was totally an assumption, and I assume a wrong one. For one, I'm 8,000 miles away from the US and its life experiences, and I know tons of other on HN that also are.

"""When it's not boring, it's exasperating, such as when the thread competes to build a case that all of law enforcement is a conspiracy to find more effective ways to predict who we're going to vote for --- or creepy, such as when people more or less suggest that child pornography isn't a real problem."""

Well, in a world where tens of thousands of children die of hunger every single day, c/p is definitely not a real problem.

The production of it could be, or it could be not, depending if real children are used.

Even so, it's still is as marginal as they come, but it gets played in the media and such as if it is extremely prevalent, in order to justify bad laws government's need for other purposes.

I don't think so. There is zero chance that Netflix can produce enough original content to give it an advantage by producing shows. It is easy for Amazon, Google, or Apple to pay for exclusive content if that were to become necessary.

Netflix has very little cash in comparison to it's competition. I'm glad they are trying to remain distinctive and keep innovating but any of their competitors can simply buy a studio and do the same thing.

It's possible Netflix sees the future by becoming like a TV channel but for the internet. And have people pay a monthly price to view this TV channel. Some other content producer would be another channel. I don't see this model working out. Rather, I see producers selling their shows to content distributors like Amazon, Apple, and Netflix and letting them fight over subscribers. If this is the case then Netflix has no advantage.

> They can't continue to compel you for more and more passphrases for more and more encrypted shadow volumes that they're not even aware actually exist

The point is, they can. If you're in some place run by a dictator they can do whatever the hell they want to you, including torturing you until you die.
The opposite of abstract thinking. Only thinking about specific, real things that actually exist and you have to deal with, rather than constantly thinking in hypotheticals etc. It involves confronting the definite, physical, "embodied" aspects of problematic experiences, rather than thinking too abstractly about the causes and effects.

From the paper:

"In CNT, the training exercises involved patients’ identifying a recent mildly to moderately upsetting difficulty and working through standardized steps to facilitate concrete thinking: (i) using mental imagery to focus on sensory details during the difficult event, noticing what is specific about the event and the context in which it occurs; (ii) noticing the process and sequence by which the difficult event unfolds (‘How did it happen?’), including warning signs and actions that may have influenced its outcome; (iii) focusing on how to move forward by specifying the particular steps and behaviours to do next (Watkins, 2009; Watkins et al. 2009)."
I was really just trying to make the point that there is more than one kind of return on an investment. Money isn't the only motivating factor.
This is the third time Facebook does the same mistake. Remember beacon? Remember when apps could publish anything, and when they started over publishing fb instated throttling? Just like the previous attempts they will revert this one within a few months, I m willing to bet on it. Facebook is great for growth but it lacks sophistication in the way they do sharing. Every time they hire a new platform lead, they go over the same mistakes all over again, reinventing the wheel every time.
The line between the two is very blurred. For example, a review of a new video card, is really just an advert.

This depends on the editorial clarity of the review. A review can be an advertisement -- such is the case where the reviewer simply regurgitates the press release, or the author otherwise abandons objectivity.

A review can also be an objective evaluation, not intended to sway the buyer in one direction or the other, but instead providing a clear, reasoned outline of the facts, and the context necessary to understand them.

The latter content has more value to the consumer. In eschewing any attempt to induce behavior on the part of the reader, it is not an advertisement.

Really? You are doomed because you don't have some extra configuration niceties? Basic vim editing is not enough?

Then I have to ask: what exactly are you doing in that other computer?

If it's just some temporary sysadmin stuff and the like, then you surely can get by with the basic vim functionality.

Now, If you're gonna be using that other computer for a longer period, then why not just add your .vimrc there? With github, bitbucket, dropbox et al you can have your configuration pushed to the other computer in seconds.

I also find that with everybody having laptops these days, the need to use some "other computer" is much less frequent.
There are some huge advantages to working full time from home.

No one bothers me and I get a lot more done. On the flip side, there is no separation at all and sleeping disciplines go out the window, at least for me.

I worked until about about 2pm yesterday, slept till 7pm. Woke up, went on a date, came home, started work. At this rate it may be 4pm before I finally wind down enough to sleep. I seem to shift my sleeping a couple hours later every day and it eventually flips over.

In any event, I got here by working on a personal project on company time, against the direct marching orders of the overlords. Once I had a working prototype, I showed it off to said overlords, instead of results on the project I was placed on, and all was forgiven because they knew it would make them money :-P

Two years later some partners and I have built things up enough to break off what started as my experiment into a separate company seed-funded mainly by the company I used to work at full time. I now lead engineering from both my apartment and another company-paid apartment about 300 feet from mine and we are currently seeking second round funding.

I love it, I get a lot done, and I don't have "business stuff" hampering my natural workflow.

It all depends on your mindset and how disciplined you are in management. I know lots of programmers that when left to their own devices will do almost nothing, and happily take a paycheck for it while saying "I'm working on it".

In my experience that most people need a high level of accountability and external management in order to reach their ideal level of productivity, so it is not for most people.

Then there are people like me, who just want everyone to leave them alone so they can code for 18 hours in a row uninterrupted, and are perfectly happy doing so. Office environments and pointless meetings and people dropping into my office make me want to break things. No one knows how to manage my own time and attention span better than me.

I have never been happier or more productive than the past 3 months I have been working between these two apartments.
Because Facebook wants to lure 'serious' publishers in its platform. It has worked great for zynga and other games, but once again it will fail for 'serious stuff'. Why doesn't Facebook realize that their future lies in entertainment rathe than news?
Considering the small difference in speed I suspect we are dealing with something closer to virtual particles in a vacuum slow down light and physical particles. It's not drag because virtual particles don't remove energy from the system but you get some propagation delays. It just so happens that gravity waves also propagate the speed of Neutrino etc. and relativity while nearly true has some edge cases. <- wild ass guess 1. Neutrino's ignore curved space time <- wag 2. Neutrino's time travel <- wag 300.
