Hi Mz, I went back and re-read your comments on the other piece, and while I obviously couldn't read the comments you deleted, I didn't see anything in the comments you left to indicate that they should be considered inflammatory. If people are willing to flag a post based on your comments, that in itself indicates that there's something wrong with how the tech community regards women. Even the excuses posted elsewhere on this piece suggest the double standard that's going on: significant, reproducible gender imbalances in pay and other treatment are "politics", but a snarky post by Gruber is Serious Business.

By the way, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, and I hope you can resolve them without too much disruption.

Unicorn ONCE Brings More Energy to Kindle Fire
This has been a problem for a long time - which is why companies like Microsoft and IBM have been spending time on technologies like CardSpace, ADFS, the identity meta system from Kim Cameron, IDEMIX and U-Prove, and other stuff that tries but fails like Microsoft Live (erstwhile Passport), OpenID, and OAuth.

The upshot is that the technology to move away from usernames and passwords exists. What we (the IT world) haven't been able to pull off is the ecosystem, to borrow an over-used cliche.

What we need are identity providers - some kind of body that can verify who we are. A good candidate is the passport office (FCO in the UK), the drivers license people (DVLA, in the UK) or the people who issue birth certificates.

Others, like banks, credit check agencies or supermarkets might also fulfill this role, but the scope for abuse and potential lack of accountability might make these bad choices.

Typically, the technology is not the problem. People are the problem.

Oh, very rarely?

Remind me to try using that one if ever I have to explain to a a company that I break my contracts 'very rarely' or my wife that I am unfaithful 'very rarely, or a court that I drive while drunk very rarely.

You do it. You cannot be trusted not to do it.
You mean because you can deploy more easily? Do you have to wait for Apple approval on all the updates on the App Store?

Macports builds something of a sandbox, which from the users point of view is neither small nor simple.

It is easier for the Macports team to make sense of bug reports with a sandbox, however, which is, I assume, why they do it. It is explicitly the reason they forbid installing to /usr/local.
Behave: BDD for Python
Given how trivially easy it will have been for 90% of the applicants to get to the application page (following a link like the ones in the article), I'm not sure the results are as serious as the PR generated.

However, from what I understand GCHQ offers fairly competitive salaries and benefits for the people who they want, but these are essentially entry "graduate" roles that are being advertised, and £25k is pretty good for a graduate in the current economy.
I tried it again, but there's another problem: There's about a half second latency between hitting the brick and the sound playing. It makes any sort of association hard...
Totally on board with cryonics, it's really depressing that it gets swept under the rug considering it probably has at least 5% chance of working for a patient suspended today. Though your excuses for presently avoiding it seem pretty flimsy unless you're really dirt poor (I'd wager unlikely), especially when life insurance payable to the cryonics company is cheap (you only need $28-$35k for CI) and so are membership fees ($120/yr or $1,250 once for CI; I spend more than $120/yr on fast food). But don't get upset, my excuses for not being signed up yet are pretty flimsy too.

If one has bash as the default shell, why not ex as the standard line-oriented text editor?

Postscript - ex is the version of ed rolled up in vim, which extends the command set of ed. vi, by contrast, handles colon commands by invoking ed externally.

Looks very promising - I can't help wonder how you can spend time building a quality product like this, then release it for free : is there a monetization strategy at some point (i.e : pro support) ?
So what if "NO CODE" is the name of a band? I'm talking about "Do not resuscitate" - and if you tattoo that on your chest because it's a cool band name, you're an utter fuckwit. 'No Code' is stupid anyway because not everywhere uses that jargon, while 'do not rescuscitate' is clear, plain English.

As for the bracelet, I hate jewellery and anything from my elbows down catches on anything that I'm working on with my hands, and I'm not alone - and unlike the tattoo which is only 'present' at parts of the day, a bracelet is always 'present'. Not to mention that there's all sorts of medical accoutrements that infirm people are supposed to carry with them but don't because they're annoying (prime example being the 'help, I've fallen' pagers).

Nobody gets out alive, so for me it's definitely a question of quality not quantity. It's all very case-by-case however; for example my dad had major surgery to remove most of one of his lungs (cancer) and recovered and had another pretty normal decade of life before the cancer returned, at which point in consultation with his doctors he decided he wanted nothing more done. He could have had more surgery, chemo, radiation, but was clearly in the zone of diminishing returns (enduring a lot of unpleasantness for maybe a bit longer life of uncertain quality).

Out of curiosity, how did they typeset those mathematical formulae? Still by carefully tiling little metal blocks or with something more advanced.
Really well-written and extremely pragmatic -- the best way to discourage inadvertent bad behavior is to provide a face-saving way for the genuinely clueless to get on the right path.
How cool that would be! To be a respected blogger, and get paid for my leads via lunch too. Instead of having to do footwork, interview startups, come up with inside information worth blogging about by talking to all those boring people.
Is this in Chrome? I've seen that happen in FF, and I'm pretty sure it's just due to the way the API works in that browser.

Not sure what's going on if it's in Chrome. Fairly minimal latency on both my Mac and Windows machine.
I don't believe so, because GCHQ is still part of the civil service, so to quite an extent, their hands are tied by the pay scales.

I know they offer a performance based monthly bonus to sweeten the deal, but still, beyond a certain point, I would have serious doubts in their ability to compete with the private sector.
Empower Network Scam- Jerry Maurer from New York
It was on the front page. I flagged it, but just felt that nothing had really happened - there wasn't any obvious feedback.

In gact that's why I like StackOverflow. There's something about the feedback you get that makes you feel like you are contributing.
This is a horrible solution. I don't care what security experts say about two-factor authentication. I'm not about to start stuffing my pockets with a pile of security tokens. I have more than enough keys on my keychain, thank you. Unless everyone can agree to use the same physical token, I simply refuse to use a service that makes me carry an extra piece of junk with me all the time.
While this article certainly has a reasonable core point -- that the 'oddness' of using Siri in public is unsettling, and could dent the pickup of voice control through embarrassment -- it's hard not to argue the opposite too: that had Siri launched on the Mac first, it would have languished in obscurity. If it had launched on Mac first, I'm sure the author would have been arguing it should have launched on iPhone instead.
If banks would supply the password on paper, then that issue would go away for most people. And if the bank would use OTP then supplying passwords on paper slip is a natural solution. I know that that kind of solution works even for computer illiterate people, as most, if not all web banks around here use OTP.

I'm afraid this is sadly true. A great many government / civil service posts pay salaries well below the equivalent 'private sector' role.

A lingering death can sometimes be easier for those round about you, to some extent. They know what's happening, get a chance be resigned to the future, but still talk to you before the end. And if it's painful, they can feel relief that your suffering is over.

When you die quickly, you personally don't suffer, but those around you are stunned by the sudden, often unexpected loss and life. It seems cruel and arbitrary.
Newsflash. Everyone does it.
Some people on this thread have harped on cost (and used it as a way to insert their own agenda about the economics of healthcare) but from my reading of the article it is really about being free to make an informed and personal choice about what the cost/benefit of treatment in terms of life quality vs life quantity is to you.

It is true the writer writes from the point of view of his own choice, but on a topic such as this, that is really the only way to do it authoritatively.

The point of the article, I thought, was to make us think - what would I do when/if the time comes?
There are always exceptions, but yes, it works better.
3rd party app support for one. Siri would be infinitely more useful if I could IM, tweet or Facebook with it. Or if I could control Spotify or Pandora with it.
Well, people DO often say that criminals should pay a penalty for their crimes :)

You are right about Clarkson, though - he is a troll, plain and simple.

Windows default filesystem is NTFS and it's pretty safe to write. I certainly wouldn't set up something like a server which relies on this, but for personal use or even a development workstation I think it's fine.

I guess it might be a good idea to first check the disk using Windows after something like a power loss while the NTFS partition is mounted. But apparently NTFS-3G (one of the NTFS drivers) can also use the journal to recover the filesystem after a power loss.
Another "proof":

x^n = exp((log x)n). By definition, exp(n+m)=exp(n)exp(m). By definition, a(b+c) = ab + ac (for the log x thing). QED.

By the way, (the infamous calculus book) Baby Rudin has the poor reader show this property holds in exponentiation for reals, starting with integers and via rationals, as an exercise on its first chapter. Insane difficulty for me, even though the author practically holds your hand along the way! Cool read, though.

I don't intend this as an ad hominem, but is there any independent verification of this research?

It might just be me, but it's hard not to be skeptical given that that the website has a banner declaring a campaign to end "chemtrails" and its sidebar is devoted to article topics such as "Ancient Aliens".
At my previous job, people would get mad at me for 'throwing someone under the bus' because I would simply tell the facts about a situation, and it ended up being that someone else screwed up. Apparently I was supposed to keep quiet and take all the wrath on myself instead.

That's what's happening here. I'm male, she's female, and it happened exactly the same way. She's taken a common (and bull) occurrence and decided it's sexist, when it's not. It's just a bad situation, possibly with a bad company.

What they're really telling her is that she should have taken one for the team, and they would have expected any other team member to do the same. She actually succeeded in her 'show no emotion' gambit, but had no idea she had done so.

I actually agree with her that women are accused of being emotional more than men are, and it's due to stereotypes.

And I agree with comments here that say men are just as emotional about their work. I certainly am.

But the problem isn't that women are told they are too emotional. It's that mean are -not- told that. And they need to be.
Inspirational articles go into either Instapaper (URLs) or iBooks (PDFs), I read through these when I'm offline. If they sound interesting, I make a note in OmniFocus' inbox. (The new 'Share' button in Instapaper can do this automatically.)

When processing OF, I turn those things into a task in "Weekend Projects" - a list of things I want to toy around with for a weekend (or any other two free days).

When I hve started said projects, I flesh them out to be normal GTD projects and see where they go from there.

If something gets stuck and obsoleted before I have a chance to work on it again, I kill it in my Weekly Review.

My wife is a surgeon and sees these situations constantly, a patient whose family has asked that everything be done for them. They spent months in the ICU hooked up to machines, incredibly uncomfortable and often, if they are aware, extremely depressed. And then they die. This is traumatic for everyone involved.

She (and I) would never go through this by choice. I can't stress that enough. This is not about money, this is about leaving life in the best possible way, on your own terms, with your family and as comfortable as possible.
I thought I was pretty clear, and even wrote it out. The chances are 50%.

I disagree with the answer of 1/3.

Here it is again:

If the younger child is a boy, the older child can be a boy or girl. 50%.

If the older child is a boy, the younger child can be a boy or girl. 50%.

If both children are exactly the same age, the other child can be a girl or a boy. 50%.

Age has absolutely no bearing on sex.
Arlo Guthrie tells a famous story about being accosted after a concert in 1972 by a skinny short guy who wanted to play him a song. Arlo said "How about you buy me a beer, and as long as I sit here drinking my beer, you can do anything you want?"

The skinny short guy was Steve Goodman, the song was "City of New Orleans", which became Arlo's biggest hit.

"That turned out to be one of the better beers of my life."

I would say that "reason" in mathematics is akin to "motivation" for a definition.

In this particular case, the property a^x a^y = a^(x+y) (plus some very weak technical condition, like Lebesgue measurability) uniquely defines exponential functions.

So, in hindsight, you can think of exponentials as arising in the classification of homomorphisms from the additive group to the multiplicative group of reals.

It actually goes deeper than that. You can extend the reasoning to complex numbers (as everyone knows), to matrices, to Lie algebras, and probably beyond.
As I posted on Proggit.

NO. NO. NO.

Password length is by far the most important factor to brute force attacks. Which, I presume, is most people's concerns because if we're talking about weak hashes or plain-text storage, you're kind of fucked anyways. You can have your cake and eat it too.

Take, for example, some convoluted piece of shit password like `1Liek2Progr4m35423\!#@`. First off, most people won't remember that without using a password manager or copying it from your super-secret text file in your encrypted folder.

Sure, there will be a few people that chime in saying, "Hey, I can remember complicated, crazy passwords". Okay. Can you do it when the service forces you to rotate passwords, e.g. AD? Most users can't. Trust me. They can't.

So, what now?

Just make really long passwords. Instead of `fC29ap5w78r3IJ`, make it something you will remember. For example: `$omeb4s1ePr3fix I like to cheat on my wife with the secretary I hate her so much`. The entropy of the second password, due to its length, is much better than the former.

Now, if we're talking about services don't let you have an obscenely long password, that's... a service problem. While the implications are real, we're talking about "how to make really good passwords". I feel like this has been answered, but people are insistent on some arcane notion of using some complex string of characters -- as if the computer gives a fuck. Not everything is a straight dictionary attack, and the computer doesn't give a fuck if your password has words in it or not insofar as it's not just one or two words. It's not going to break a 42 character-long sentence that much faster because it has WORDS in it.

And, there's no way somebody should be able to be trying to guess your password that many times without getting locked out. Unless we're talking about somebody hacking into the server itself, dumping out the hashes, and trying to break it that way. Even in that worst-case scenario, assuming they have done their due diligence with salts/bcrypt/etc, a 42-character length password should take them somewhere in the vicinity of for fucking ever.

EDIT: The benefit comes from the prefix and the sentences. It pretty much deters both kinds of common algorithms even if you reuse the prefix.
Noone knows what the goal of Occupy Wall St. is. Their general assembly has to agree (by consensus) before any goals can be said to be the goals of OWS. About a month ago, a list of (outrageous and self contradictory) demands was published on the OWS website and made the rounds in the media, but the page was quickly prefixed with a message explaining that this was the draft of one participant and that it hadn't been accepted by the GA. Also, it called the media "irresponsible" for reproducing it.

In a way, it's a very clever and convenient strategy: With no common goals stated, they are free from the obligation to engage in informed debate (with others or themselves), and anyone opposing the movement can (correctly) be accused of not knowing what they are talking about.

Personally, I sympathise with many of the grievances voiced by the movement, but I am certain that it eventually will get run over by the professional anti-capitalists, which I can't support.
The majority of people who get burned are people looking for a deal. I mean, it doesn't matter where someone lives $14/hr is cheap and you have to ask why it is so cheap.

OK, the cost of living is cheaper in India than it is in the West. Thats fine. However, if that means that they are charging 25% of the minimum you would expect to pay you have to ask why it is THAT cheap.

Often the difference in cost is a linguistic barrier and copy and paste programming.

I think India can really compete by charging 60-75% of what a project would cost in the West and providing the work to meet those expectations.

If you are going to India for a bargain though you are more than likely going to get burned.
The original Xbox 360s were incredibly noisy; the recent slim-factor models are much quieter—especially when running games off the HDD.

Updates, though, are very infrequent—I'd guesstimate about one every four months (although individual game updates can be much more frequent).

It's interesting you mention using a computer instead. The reason I like game consoles for gaming so much more is that they remove all the hassle of configuration and hardware issues—you just put the disc in and play. It looks like this'll be the case with TV as well.
If you're talking about people wanting you, The Blogger, to cover their startup, I think you have a point. As for all those other leads, you're on the giving end of the lunch idea.

Doing my best to not read you as snarky.
I'm quite surprised at the lack of 'hot spots' - areas of concentrated fatalities. Had a quick look at some areas I have lived in, including SE11 (south/central London), especially around Elephant & Castle am quite surprised that actually, there are generally fairly few fatalities when considering this spans a decade of data.

Obviously pedestrians and cyclists are far more at risk of being a fatality, so the stats certainly dont represent general accidents, even serious ones.

I used to study them all quite frequently but have stopped in the last few years without knowing why. Now I realize it's because I'm trying to justify knowledge vs. usefulness. Trying to get back to some of them now, though.

It's interesting that I have yet to find others who also like to learn about varied topics, outside of those who enjoy learning about technical topics. I guess that's why I'm a generalist (and why generalists are usually INTPs).
It's not free, public hospitals are overcrowded and full chemo etc costs a lot.
