I really, really hate this attitude of searching high and low for anything remotely resembling hypocrisy so we can condemn any and all action. It's not only counterproductive but intellectually slothful.

It's lazy because the answer is so painfully obvious: we don't want corporates to have such strength. But they do. In fact, this is pretty much the only real way to have any lasting effect right now. So should we keep on a downward spiral out of some misplaced principle and poor understanding of what hypocrisy actually is or should we use the only tool potentially available to use to affect change?

Sometimes the best way to fight fire is with fire, sometimes the best way to weaken lobbying is through lobbying.
It's definitely clever marketing.

But consider that a coupon for the transfer plus a $2 donation means that they are losing money on these transfers, at least until they renew or sell you something else. I'm sure they expect that to pan out over time, but it's still a nice gesture.
An insight into Website Accessibility and its evaluation tools
A website may have a unique design and contain useful features but if it is not accessible by all users, the presence of these factors is of no use. To simply this, a website which cannot be seen and experienced by users in its entirety will not be able to serve the purpose for which it is designed and developed.

Hadoop only writes a block from a client to a DataNode when a whole block is available. This is to minimize the amount of "open connections" in the datanodes (it can take a long time for the client to generate 64MB of data, while distributing the block over the replicas can occur in a relatively short time).

For more information about this, see: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/hdfs_design.htm... and http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/hdfs_design.htm...
The Apple community does seem to have a disproportionate number of cultists. I have a Mac Book Pro myself, and I've learned that asking certain things about Apple can get you treated like a heretic in some Apple forums.

For example, even though I've been using a Mac for several years, I still find the behavior of command-tab to be suboptimal. While searching for a way to get it to behave the way I'd like there were quite a few "you should just get used to the Apple way" responses, and I even found a couple "if you like alt-tab on Windows so much why don't you switch back?" sorts of responses.
Ways to "monetize" (other than directly charging your users cold hard cash)
I'm so glad Germany already went through the Third Reich period back when tech was just beginning. (Not that it can't happen again, but we do try to learn from history.)
> If the criteria to remove something is that more than one person finds it offensive, almost everything on the internet would be removed.

Reductionist strawman. While a middle finger may not be particularly offensive to most people (including me), more people are likely to be offended by it than are likely to get their knickers in a twist over such a photo being removed. Ergo, it gets removed.

Waste time with warnings about offensive content and blah-blah-derpa-blah? No. Your potentially-offensive content can be kept in private circles and you can exercise good judgement about what you make public. That is the better solution. (And just in case--save the "well, what is offensive, how do we know?" silliness. That little brat Siegler knew perfectly well that he was doing something stupid and possibly/probably in contravention of Google's rules. Anderson called him out on it, too.)

This is hilarious, considering the hard time German government gives Google in terms of privacy.

That's a very good point. Some talk as if Jobs ripped off Xerox PARC 1:1 and just reimplemented what he saw. In reality he saw only the concept, and Apple hugely expanded it, implementing lots of stuff what was not there (as "simple" as overlapping windows e.g.). And PARC was compensated for the ideas too.
One thing you are missing is how much they try to distort theatre takings. Because audience numbers (or take, compared to the other movies) will determine how much they get for TV rights, DVD rental profits, and how much the DVD shops will push their product, they just want to sell seats.

They pour more and more money into in-cinema ads (where else to you get movie-goers?), which kills the incentive to go to the cinema. But the cinemas don't really care if overall number go down a bit, as long as they get the advertising dollars. And the distributors don't really care, as long as they can push their movie to the #1 spot, even if overall numbers are down.
The adult thing is to not be a child who thinks flipping the bird in his profile is something to be proud of. Siegler's little renegade act probably wouldn't work so well with the people who still think you can be a badass tech writer if he refrained, though.

MC Siegler and his fans are completely and totally allowed to share pictures of them fingering at each other (that came out wrong, but I'm leaving it for posterity) in private circles on G+, aren't they? But Google doesn't want it in people's public feeds.

I don't find it offensive--I do find it stupid in that sort of "oh, look at the Internet Tough Guy" way, but that's a far cry from taking offense--but at the same time I can entirely get why Google wouldn't be all happy and such with that sort of picture in folks' public feeds. Like it or not, there are some venues where you get to be a little civilized if you want to be out in public, and Google's decided that they have a bit of a dress code in their neck of the woods: shirt optional, pants optional, tie not required, birds verboten. Not a big deal; the total of this tragedy is pretty much that MC Siegler will have to resort to other methods than a bird in a profile picture to show what a trendy rebel with his fingers on the pulse of Technoeverything he really is.

Maybe he could do it with a thoughtful, well-written, incisive arti...ahahahahaha. I made myself laugh. =)
Go to a cinema in China, where they seem to not have any noise control laws. It's shocking.

I saw Transformers II, and Sucker Punch. I couldn't understand the translation, but it's not like the plot really suffered.
Agreed, in these cases of course, fans operate loud, but the point in case is that the brand has created people who just consider the user making mistakes, they don't even accept a failing product from apple which could be kind of arrogant.
Why? Google is some outside entity from another country. Do you find it hilarious that I discipline my kids but it would probably result in a physical altercation if someone else whom I didn't place in authority (explicitly or implicitly like the schools) did?

Granted, I wouldn't want to be live under a government that thought of me as "belonging" to them [1] but their stance here isn't remotely hypocritical.

[1] The US government does as well though. The US is the only country in the world where you if you sell everything you have in the US and move away to a new life they still expect you to pay them taxes on what you earn in the new country.

Sport is one of those topics which look easier to write about but when you start writing you can’t write a thing.

That's the adult thing for him to do. But the adult thing for the rest of us to do is mind our own business. If I start to start a conversation with someone but find their speech offends me, I walk away. If his picture offends you, just take him off your feed. No big deal.

I think the weird one is "Go". I don't see a lot of people using Go for anything, let alone web stuff.
Part of the reason that Python has no canonical package management is that it is rooted in Linux, where the distro is perfectly capable of handling the task of package installation. It's an unfortunate artifact of shitty software management in Windows and OSX that we even have language-centric package management at all.

An installed package has and fulfills dependencies, no matter what language you use. Requiring each language to reimplement aptitude or emerge or macports or homebrew or asdf or rpm or gems in its own quirky way is bad for both end users and library developers.

I'm a heavy RSS user but this doesn't really fit my workflow. I may be different than a lot of other heavy RSS users though.

I'm currently using Google Reader to keep track of things for me. I sync it up with iReadG on my iPhone and then I scan through headlines on my iPhone and star the ones I'm interested in reading. I do this while I'm out and about and need to kill some time while waiting on things in life to happen. Just scanning headlines from HN, Slashdot and TechCrunch usually fills all my mobile downtime.

Then when I get back to the computer I go through the star items and read them, unstarring them as I go.

Your interface would be nice if I could work it into my workflow but it doesn't look setup for that.

Do Apple products usually work great, or is it thats what they would have you believe ? You can look at the forums and find plenty of complaints. Would they be known for their outstanding customer service with hardware, if things usually work great ? Is it really great, or have you convinced yourself its great because you paid a premium and in order to soothe your ego that the premium is worth it you tell everyone else how great it is and ignore its deficiencies ?

the reality is macs and other pc's all pretty much run commodity hardware. The rates of failure are probably comparable, but they would just have believe they are more reliable. There have always been one design issue or another with MBP's that similarly exist in other laptop lines. Its the reality of hardware.

Oh, in his defence, I just added that.

That's fair about Go. The last 3 were a bit random, I was just trying to get a bit more variety in there beyond the more mainstream stuff. I realise that Go isn't really used by anyone, but it has had a bit of airtime simply due to it being a Google tech (not to mention the authors). I guess I mean hottest in the sense of most interesting to people.
But it might take you more than six months to find them. Are you working on plan B as suggested as well?

>> It's worse than that -- after that was written, there WAS a clinical trial, and DCA not only didn't cure anyone, they got worse.

None of those articles says anything about them getting worse because of the DCA.

> Cited in the new scientist article: The results, published last year in Science Translational Medicine, revealed that it probably extended the lives of four of the patients, while one other died.

> Cited in the wiki article: DCA was associated with tumor regression and had a good safety profile. DCA side effects were minimal.

In a Common Law system such as the one used in the US, law is interpreted to the letter and if something is not mentioned in a contract then it's considered undefined, no matter whether it's reasonable. So even though we can argue that sharpening the phone and stabbing yourself is a foolish thing to do, the law system pretty much requires them to explicitly mention these things or they may be held liable in court. This is also the reason why American contracts are so fscking long compared to most European contracts which follow Civil Law.

> None of those articles says anything about them getting worse because of the DCA.

I just said "they got worse", which means the DCA was at best ineffective, as opposed to curing anyone. From the wiki:

"Of the five patients tested, one died after three months. The surviving four were followed for 15 months. Their Karnofsky scores were unchanged in two cases, and decreased by 10 points in two patients.[4]"

A decreased Karnofsky score is worse. 0% is dead.

It depends what you mean by "new internet," and how much control the government eventually takes over the actual hardware routing the current Internet. Even If the government owns every ISP, you could take part in encrypted communication, and I don't think there's any way for them to stop that. At the absolute worst, you could go back to basics, and just use the plain old telephone system to dial into known servers.

Point taken, there are fanboys and cultists. I'd say most Apple users though are not that way. Still, whenever you try to have an open discussion about Apple, conflations start early and points get dismissed merely because you happen to own, maybe even enjoy using, an Apple product.

The real trouble starts when it has influence outside Apple-ish discussions. Based on my experience on site in some firms or contexts, the moment I get my MacBook out is when I am awarded some Godwin-esque point. Sometimes you can actually hear people sheeshing or sharing something along the lines of "Look, he's one of them". Somehow trust erodes, and points - well received beforehand - about anything going even mildly against the client's preconceived idea of how the project at hand would fare get dismissed on the most shady grounds. There's an interesting group effect in this subtle (sometimes not so) behavior.

It's not easy to simply predict how much they would lose if SOPA passed, or even how effective a blackout would be. Personally, I don't think a blackout would have much effect at all. So what if millions of people flood the phone lines of their representatives? Do you think politicians support SOPA because they incorrectly think their constituents like it? That's ludicrous. As for the threat of the next election cycle, most American voters will have forgotten about it by then, and I doubt many representatives have much fear of losing the next election anyway.
Unfortunately, their site has been down since the penetration. Even if it appears most of their content is not free, I signed up for their newsletter and received links to some articles regularly.

WP claims "150,000 to 200,000" political prisoners. Given a population of 24 million, of which over 1 million are in the army, and given the high mortality rate in political prison camps, I agree with you that it's very unlikely that the number is in the millions.

Excepting if you consider the whole country a prison.
