I've long believed that Youtube was Google's main social network, even though they never treated it as such. A strong hint for that was that Youtube, along with Twitter and Facebook were used for revolutions. I think it's almost like a litmus test by now - to see if you have a mainstream social network, watch if it's used in revolutions.

All they need to do now is to use Google+' real time commenting system, and integrate Hangouts a bit deeper into Youtube.
Dys means "abnormal" or "bad" or even "impaired"
Dis means "without" or "lacking"

Dysfunction in this case means 'impaired function' as opposed to 'lacking function'.

Fair enough. Given what you've read, where do you think the line is between "user content" and the data they received?
> But Dwolla is not in a position to either fix or replace the ACH system.

On the contrary, based on the little PR that they have made, I feel that replacing the ACH system is their primary desired endgame. They are actively selling their payment network as an alternative to ACH for their member institutions.
FreePress petition for Congress to investigate Carrier IQ
Apple's delays in PR announcements normally seem like they're the result of not wanting to say anything until they have something substantive to say. They're really not big on "we know it's a problem, hang tight..." announcements.

In this case they're coincidentally a bit ahead of the ball, so there's no need to wait and formulate a plan.
Guys, both recent Windows and any unix-like OS support SEPARATE user accounts! I wouldn't trust anything less...

EDIT: In Windows, just beware to edit the ACL for the private user folder so that no other users can read its contents. I was very dissapointed that Windows 7 didn't do that by default. Files under the other users' folders by default are amenable to global search in explorer.

The real reason for getting a fixed gear bike is that there are less parts to maintain. They don't have all those gears so they can be much lighter. They also tend to not break as often. The downside is that you don't get the advantage of being able to switch gears, which tends to not matter in cities like Manhattan because there aren't many hills and you never reach high speeds for long stretches anyway.

On top of that there's an aesthetic aspect to the simplicity. I tend to find them really beautiful in a post-modern art kind of way.
An earlier report said Carrier IQ was definitely in iOS 5, and perhaps earlier versions. So, which is it?

Either way, ugh. Bad Apple.
I've telecommuted on and off for years and I'm doing that right now. Here is what I learned:

1. Always "get ready" for work. Do the same routine as you would if you were going to an office: shower, dressed, etc. It puts you in the mindset that its time for work.

2. Make it a point to work in a coffee shop or something similar at least once per week. You need to be around people as a human being and it breaks up your week nicely.

3. Make lunch or meeting arrangements with people in your field on a regular basis. Its similar to point #2 but takes it a step further in forcing you to communicate and interact with another person and its work-related.

4. Set very clear expectations with your family. Have a space that is designated only for work. Let them know that you're "at work" or they will bother you and you'll start resenting them.

5. Set a timeframe when you'll be off work. Let them know that they can expect say, between 5 and 6 pm and at that time you're off work. Period.

6. Never, ever do household chores during work hours unless you set a specific time during the day. For me, I don't allow any chores but there are times when I will set aside an hour and complete a task. The joy of working from home is flexibility so use it but wisely. The same goes for work. Don't allow 'creep' to set in because it can be a slippery slope. When you're off work - be off work. When you're at work - work.

Good luck!
Can anyone explain the "acceleration"? I don't understand why a browser would have this option... when would you choose to not use it? Why does amazon give users a choice, if it's supposed to be better (which apparently it's not)?

Sure, there are exceptions, and that guy is pretty low-level. My point is on the level of Mitt Romney's Mormonism: certain traits do not appear to be compatible with higher office (these days). Look at John Kerry's 2004 campaign for some examples of what I'm talking about.
There is way more money in catering to companies like Google that build markets than there is in helping the RIAA keep grandma and cousin Timmy from illegally downloading music.

I don't think there is any real money in SOPA for anyone involved. It just seems to be a dying industry spitefully flailing about as it takes its last gasps of breath.

I think, it would be a major issue if it was later revealed they deliberately misled the public with this sentence.

I think the more logical interpretation is that if they (Apple) don't receive any data then no other party receive any data.

tablets on the other hand have different operating systems (at least the only tablet that people > 1% actually buy, the iPad) than PCs.

This is only true in today's world. In a future where tablets are so capable and ubiquitous that they've displaced laptop and desktop computers, both paradigms will have long merged. Microsoft, Google, Canonical, and others are all in the process of transitioning their platforms into x86 or ARM (whichever they lack). Additionally, AMD and Intel both have true x86 answers to ARM on the horizon. The flexibility of the x86 platform is not going anywhere any time soon.

the amount of corruption that unfettered political donation has brought

That's one side of the issue, and it's not inaccurate. But I'd ask you to consider the other side as well.

Why do you think that businesses find it worthwhile to dump so much money into political contributions? I submit that the reason is because, as the government has assumed increasing amounts of power, it acquires the ability to confer significant advantages upon those favored by the law. So it's necessary for business to take extreme steps to ensure that they are, in fact, favored thusly.

In these terms, I think that a more constructive strategy for solving the problem isn't to attack political contributions (which is bound to get into thorny First Amendment questions), but to strike at the root by limiting the power that the government has to decide who is going to win and who is going to lose.

If we take away the government's power, then there's nothing for corporations to buy. If we give the government more power (to regulate the corporations' contributions and other matters), then there is an even greater incentive for the corporations to influence the goverenment -- which is exactly what we're trying to get away from.

This makes me wonder what it'd be like if Google ever goes bad: "Kill this legislation or we release the entire search history of you and your family. Then we'll see who the pirates (and worse) really are."
The trick being pulled on you is that they don't have to hold it against you if you're already holding it against yourself. Michel Foucault's "Discipline and Punish" speaks to this quite a bit.

Eye Opening Analytics Research From Adobe
I've done it for over three years now. At first, it was really tough, now I actually enjoy it vs. the alternative. Some things that have worked for me:

- Invest in a good workspace, desk, chair, monitor, etc. Good ergonomics help immensely.

- Exercise regularly each and every day.

- Practice good hygiene as if you were working at an office. Shower and dress everyday!

- Get out of the house regularly to meet with peers if you can. I do lunch at least once a week with friends/colleagues to break things up a bit.

- I've used coworking spaces periodically which can be good if you find interesting people there.

- Start and stop at regular hours each day. I also try not to work anywhere and everywhere in the house. Stick to your office if you can.

Good luck!

I wish it would explain how the accuracy numbers work. I could say 'no' to every car and get pretty good naive accuracy, so that's clearly not the method they're using to give the old models scores of only 15-20%.
Methinks you misunderstand. This is a money-at-all-costs gambit, not a pinnacle-of-science-and-engineering product.

The ONLY reason I still use Firefox is tagged bookmarks. Every time I use Chrome to test something I'm reminded how much of a turtle-pig is Firefox. Despite claimed improvements in Firefox's use of memory and processor, Chrome is noticeably better in both these areas. I still have to restart Firefox to reclaim leaked memory; after the restart, with the same tabs open, I've reclaimed gobs of memory.

I would move instantly to Chrome if the company that gave us tags in gmail would just do the same for bookmarks in Chrome.

Visa Law Would Give U.S. World’s Tired, Poor Technologists: View
Haskell uses type inference, but that's not the same as implicit coercion, which Haskell explicitly avoids. That is: if you type
4 + 4.2

Then the compiler will infer that you mean
(4::Fractional a=>a) + (4.2::Fractional a => a)

However, you cannot add an integer and a float:
(4::Int) + (4.2::Float)

Couldn't match expected type `Int' with actual type `Float'

In the second argument of `(+)', namely `(4.2 :: Float)'

In the expression: (4 :: Int) + (4.2 :: Float)

In an equation for `it': it = (4 :: Int) + (4.2 :: Float)

This follows from the type of (+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a

- building the first deep-text hotel search engine (eg. search "eiffel tower views" in Paris or "jetted bathtub" in New York)

- super-fast search across all major providers (we show Expedia results faster than Expedia)

- finding better ways to extract and expose data like hotel freebies and fees

...and many other things that contribute to a fast, easy travel planning experience.

If you're interested in information retrieval, machine learning, NLP, or computer visualization, you'll have a great time solving brand new problems and creating a genuinely improved and useful hotel search.

While you are right, wikileaks shouldn't be 'editorializing' and if in fact much of this information is old, it's still vital that we hear this again and again, because the changes to our informational autonomy appear to manifesting at an accelerating rate.

That said, the Montag Press Transmedia Collective just put a call out for submissions based upon "Orwell's World", if any authors are interested in partnering for publishing.

See: http://montagpress.com/call/
I hear this, but then see it in places. When I went to get my license plate there was a 3% "convenience fee" to use your debit or credit card.

Is it something in the wording?
Ok, now these kinds of challenges are not really good. The reason is that without any extra property, they are trivial. Here is why:

Let's assume you have a cyphertext c, of length l (ie |c| = l). Now I take a plaintext p of length also l (|p| = l). Let the key k be c xor p. Now

c xor k = c xor (c xor p) = (c xor c) xor p = 0^l xor p = p

Where 0^l is a string of l zeros. So yeah, given one cyphertext, I can craft a pair of key and plaintext such that there is a cypher (simple xor) that, given the cyphertext and the key, outputs the plaintext.

What is worse? I can craft |E|^l of such plaintexts (where |E| is the size of the alphabet).

So yeah: this test only checks if people know basic cryptography and boolean algebra. Which tends not to be a very good test[1,2]

Hey,

I'm in a similar situation as you--my company does millions of calls per month (we're in the telecom industry in the US), and we use Django / python / Asterisk as our primary tools, along with OpenSIPs for routing SIP traffic.

If you want to get in touch, feel free to email me (or get me on gtalk): rdegges@gmail.com

Would be nice to talk to some other people in a similar industry, not too many telecom / web dudes around, afaik.
