Although I'd imagine that would be after your hire that they have to worry about taxes- not during negotiation.

Kinda like declining to talk about if you have kids during an interview. Sure the company likely will find out after you're hired if you have them, but you don't need to answer questions about it upfront.
How does it compare with just using sets? Usually only a small fraction of your total userbase is online any given day, especially as dead accounts accumulate... wouldn't the bitmaps be inefficiently sparse?
He did say that this was in "2000".
While I've also seen it to be about twice as fast in my own testing (not with Tornado), it also had much longer GC pause times. (No stats, just watching my program's logs go by -- very noticeable stutters every couple seconds or so.)
The other important point: Nobody older than 25 exists (well nobody older than ~age-of-founder exists. Remember the entire "Never hire anybody over 27!" advice?). Kids don't have major privacy concerns, therefore everybody should have no privacy.

There is a smaller clock that is always displayed on the screen so you don't need to press a button to view the time. You also have the option to always have the larger clock displayed - at the expense of battery life. These features and a ton more can all be customized through an app that is installed on the smartphone.
I see you're using wmode transparent for your flash fallback. Have you seen (or tested for) performance issues using transparent, rather than direct? My understanding is that it prohibits both StageVideo, and HW rendering, and may also cause unnecessary re-rendering of overlaying HTML. Would love to know whether any of those are material in your case.

TopCoder's $50K software bounty
It's a receipt printer in a box. Receipts (the thermal kind this uses) can't be written on with a normal pen without it getting all gunked up, so the 'puzzle' idea is more or less not going to work.

The quality of the printing will be receipt quality, and will degrade and become completely unreadable over time.

We went through this entire 'push media' bullshit in 1999, but I guess knowing that makes me an old timer these days. The punchline is, people will not want this.

Edit: Now, take away all the cloud magic and foursquare bullcrap, and I would actually like to have this just as a little printer. I'm often trying to print lists and so on, because I hate unlocking my phone over and over to check a shopping list at the store. So I would buy this if it were possible to print out lists of things, driving directions, and that sort of thing.

If the ideas in Perl scaled, don't you think there would be a usable version of Perl 6 after more than 10 years?

And Perl 5 is certainly on its way out: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/paperinfo/tpci/Perl.html

When Alan Kay made his remark, Perl had just hit its highest mark in popularity. And it just this year hit its lowest mark. So I think you've been holding your graph upside-down.
Could it be that some or all of these things either already exist or are possible using existing "tools", but are simply not widely known nor in widespread use?

However statements like "all the features that we need or want" are troublesome. How can we possibly agree on those?

What if someone built the low-level, _boring_ "platform", and offered a _simple_ (as little code as possible), _old_, boring but workable conceptual vision, then let all the high-level enthusiasts address (argue about) usability and features?
I didn't say anything was wrong with this, or that anyone was hurt. I simply answered the parent's question.

It's a stretch, but you could argue that prices are slightly higher because Amazon has to pay the affiliates.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what a phisher would say too, so it rightfully has no effect on the discussion.
This is a pretty good argument. I updated the article with it, hope you don't mind.
Humans are smart, they don't have to use the exact same laws. Like I implied, the laws don't actually exist in the US.

Would it make a difference if I had said "something akin" to personal information as property? I mean, we're reading this story, so personal information has currency in some way, right? Seems to me that with some political will that the laws can be nudged further in favor of the user.

There is a lot of nonsense legal interpretation in this thread. Did anyone actually read the settlement?

You commit fraud if you make any intentional deception in order to benefit yourself, or to harm others. If you intentionally make public commitments that turn out to be false, and you thereby cause some harm to another person, you have committed a fraud.

The FTC is empowered to enforce criminal and civil penalties for fraud on behalf of consumers. From the FTC website: "When the FTC was created in 1914, its purpose was to prevent unfair methods of competition in commerce as part of the battle to bust the trusts. Over the years, Congress passed additional laws giving the agency greater authority to police anticompetitive practices. In 1938, Congress passed a broad prohibition against unfair and deceptive acts or practices.”

From the FTC's Facebook settlement statement, it's perfectly clear that the FTC believes that Facebook is guilty of committing widespread and repeated deceptions in violation of the law.

The settlement itself is tantamount to saying that Facebook has had its last warning, and is on very thin ice with the FTC.

Feel free to complain about whether such a "penalty" is effective. We won't really know until the next time Facebook breaks the law.

The other clear distinction to make here is that it isn't exactly Google's fight since the content that is being targeted is merely being indexed by Google not created by Google. So logically it is the content owners/creator (website owners) who should be standing up to this kind of action. Unfortunately such fights are often extremely lopsided (small publisher vs. huge corporation), so people expect Google to step in to help because it is tangentially involved, but most of the time it is simply not practical.

Mistakes all the way to the bank. Zuckerberg at the helm allows them to make all sorts of sophomoric apologies as if everyone at Facebook is "awe shucks" sorry about everything.

Perfect because he appears as a naive first timer and makes it sound like these sorts of changes were just an idea he had and they rolled it out like things work as a start up.

But it's more likely that there were very many long meetings about just how far to push it, and just how much money that would make them.

> If the blog post is a poorly-written list of links to books, then it probably isn't content that you're interested in, whether if it has affiliate links or not. I do not see why the presence of affiliate links makes the content any worse (or any better), though I suppose it may make people more inclined to slap up some poorly-written lists of links to books, so there's more low-quality websites to wade through on the internet.

Yes I agree, this is pretty much exactly what I said above.

My point was that there are so many of these posts written just to attempt to get affiliate commissions that whenever I go to a link that has a top 10 books it already has 2 strikes against it due to previous experience.

Yes, as a male it's easy for me to get sucked into the patriarchal conclusion: it's the fault of clueless females. And rather than taking this moment to question whether our remuneration system is comically aggressive and deceitful, it's better to finally teach the females a couple weapons of the menfolk.

(After all, we males have never been known to retaliate against females asserting themselves in meaningful ways, particularly not when some aggressive guy's haggling them down. Patriarchy is actually caused by whatever's going on in women's heads, turns out. Men are neutral. Especially the kindly guys in the hypermale programming profession.)
"unfortunately without voting for the enemy of your enemy (and maybe convincing others to do so), you don't have any other tool to punish these politicians."

There is certainly a tipping point between sets and bitsets. Bitsets are far more efficient for storage and for performing unions or intersections for millions of users. For example, for a typical 10% of user base active daily for mobile apps (http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/07/301010.html), bit sets will pay off both in storage and performance.

Obviously, each use case is different and for very sparse case, sets would be a better choice.

Understandable concerns, but shouldn't the content speak for itself?

If someone writes a meaningful glowing review of the new Kindle, then there should be information and details in the content of the writing that explains why they think it is so great. If there is no such information in the article, then the article probably isn't very helpful, and neither the presence nor absence of affiliate links will change that.

But what if it is an awful fluffy review written for the express purpose of making an affiliate sale? Is this wrong, per se? If something in the article either directly or indirectly prompts a reader to click on the link and they make the purchase, then what harm has been done?

Newspapers likely disallow such practices in order to maintain journalistic integrity, but a blog author who is writing posts on purpose to sell things is probably not interested in maintaining journalistic integrity. The blog author is just interested in selling stuff. Maybe the blog posts are well-written and interesting, or maybe they are not. If they are not, then readers who care principally about content will likely avoid the blog on the lack of merit of the content itself.

I don't think he is talking about "high priority" in the project management sense, rather in the visual or cognitive sense that the presentation of a feature to the user is highly prioritized. His argument is basically that it is more important or relevant to make the feature "obvious" (easy to understand) rather than "high priority" (attention grabbing).
So they will have a "Chief of Privacy" stationed in Washington DC? Sounds closer to a lobbyist to change privacy laws than it does someone who makes sure Facebook abides by them.

Wrong. The FTC said very clearly that it thinks Facebook lured consumers in under false pretenses. That's punishable by criminal and civil penalties, in theory. The FTC usually settles these kind of cases, AFAIK. Sometimes there's money involved, sometimes not. Anyone who isn't in compliance with their own published privacy policy should be worried about the FTC; they can (again, in theory) do serious harm to a business – even one as big as Facebook.
No they don't. You are jumping to conclusion from a sample of size one, ignoring survivorship bias.

Right, so couldn't this order more resonably be interpreted by saying the web sites need to post no-robots in their meta info to delist themselves rather than Google having to do it?

More like, stop having yourself indexed rather than de-indexing.
"A more paternal solution would be mandating equal pay for equal work and enforcing it across genders."

Even if we overcame the massive impracticalities in determining what we mean by "equal work" and "equal pay" for various persons in various jobs, such a policy would essentially punish success. Those with the ability and wherewithal to negotiate would effectively lose their negotiating leverage in the face of mandated wage ranges. Over time, this would hamper, if not kill, personal incentive to try harder and stand out from the pack.

Education, not mandate, is the way to go here. Rather than forcing salary bands on the general public, let's teach kids how to negotiate. Much of the current disparity between male and female negotiating prowess is likely cultural in origin. The best way to overcome that cultural difference is to teach women the skill -- not to punish the men who are successful at it.
Make no mistake, FTC oversight of FB is a net-plus for FB. Their actions will be relatively unassailable from now on, since if the FTC (who is supposedly looking over their shoulder) doesn't have a problem with it, why should anybody else? Rinse and repeat.
