It speaks to me viscerally.

I often find myself seething with anger that although I have paid what I consider unfairly high prices,

(e.g. $77/month for satellite and some specialty channels Idon't watch but cannot escape, in order to watch Game of Thrones and the occasional filler program, and finding myself pirating the show anyway for ease of watching, and extra costs for producing amateur plays whose professional authors are long dead and whose rights are owned by an entity with no discernible purpose other than making more money)

and and with the knowledge the money isn't supporting who I want it to support (i.e. the artist/creator), and having access restricted to free ad supported content because of where I live, which is as this article points out; insane.

I feel as though we are still in the birth or staging period of the ideas that were conceived with Napster and the like. There is profit for all to be made in digital media and the phrase 'digital media' represents a far broader swathe of culture than people outside this type of community seem to realize.

The profit lies in the value the product adds to the culture and intellect or distraction of the consumers and nowhere else. If someone is valued by society for their contributions then, like the artists of old, they will find themselves supported by the population in one way or another.

Every other way to squeeze profit out of what is essentially non-human entertainment (i.e. once digitized the content can be recreated without another human adding any value to the work) is just a way ensuring that the less talented will continue to make less meaningful art at the expense of the whole society.

What Napster, and by extension the whole internet, did was generate a source and medium through which the mass individual could self determine quality and be exposed to more genres and therefore the ideas of musicians than what was ever before possible. It's major flaw, legality notwithstanding, was that it limited itself to music. The same approach clearly applies to all form of media that can be reproduced.

Clearly the repercussions of this way of thinking would destroy industries and create a new paradigm that the would will take some getting used to, if what I described were practically applied. Ultimately, I believe it will be resolved in a massive anti-trust case against the ever larger music labels/studios/cable giants/ISP's worldwide that will limit their monopolies and finally reflect the global nature of their industries.

We are seeing the dawn of a global culture. One that will survive and change so long as the human race does. To place a monetary value on access to that culture is not sustainable and will not last. IMHO lol
That's correct. Currently, Firefox is the only browser that implements the JSON routines exactly as described in the spec (parsing since version 5.0, and serializing since 6.0)...others deviate in one or more ways. It's not so much of a concern if you're targeting multiple browsers, as Firefox will correctly throw a `SyntaxError` when given malformed input, but it can certainly become problematic if you're relying on non-standard extensions in only one or two browsers.
And why would putting women in an ad be any different?

I mentioned Indian because I am of that descent, but that your mind jumped to "illegal" is something you need to examine about yourself. I think this is probably somehow connected to why you can't understand using women for this purpose in this advert is not appropriate.
So what's the solution? Removing beer-serving booth babes from the events? Or having an adult double-check your marketing releases?

I guess I'm not sure which of those problems we're objecting to.
9/10 tablets sold are Wi-Fi only, devs choose Google over Facebook
See http://webtide.intalio.com/2012/03/jetty-spdy-is-joining-the... for a hyperbolic endorsement.

To sum it up, clients (SPDY enabled by default in FF13 and already in Chrome) and servers (Apache, nginx, Jetty, node, Google sites) are becoming available, some niches (mobile, high latency) are bound to benefit a lot and it's a good (better?) solution for the general case.
These non-apologies are pretty common from politicians ("Mistakes were made") to comedians (Adam Carolla: "I'm sorry my comments were hurtful. I'm a comedian, not a politician.") And there's a reason for that.

It this case it doesn't apply, it was just a lame attempt at humor. But in other cases there are whole organizations involved, with funding and lawyers and many of those organizations are simply bullies who manufacture controversies to show their importance (black hole/black hoe thing, Tracy Morgan offending some group). The best response would be to stand up to the bully: ramp up the joke, go further, but usually it would hurt too many bystanders who just happen to be in the group the bully pretends to represent or isn't feasible for other reasons so bullied public figures go with the next best thing -- a non-apology.
the computer would need data from the other exchange(s) as well, not just the one its nearest to
I think it's pretty cool that not only is he the obvious owner of the entire enterprise, but he is the chief technology officer because he is a self taught aeronautical engineer for lack of a better descriptor in this case. One of his degrees is in physics, sure, but one of his real ambitions in this instance is reading everything and talking to every expert he could in this field.

The point of the matter is that this kid did his homework and deserves everything he will earn in this endeavor.
I, too, would love to see comments officially supported in the next iteration of the JSON standard...IIRC, Crockford removed them to make JSON a valid YAML subset.

For what it's worth, I've created a fork of Kyle Simpson's `JSON.minify` project that uses a variation of the character-based parsing process in JSON 3: https://github.com/kitcambridge/JSON.minify/blob/master/mini... It's somewhat cumbersome to use, though, as it needs to be called on a string before feeding it to `parse` (e.g., `JSON.parse(JSON.minify("/* Hello */ 123"))`).
We should really have this. Thank you for the suggestion.

PS: "Tesekkurler" :-)
Maybe this can help explain. My recent ex-girlfriend is female, but is also bisexual and so likes women almost as much as I do. She was perfectly happy to comment on the attractiveness of the waitstaff to me (male or female), and appreciated when I did likewise to her. She'd be perfectly fine with a social event advertising attractive female waiters. I think she might even have been happy about the prospect of attractive female waitstaff at a hackathon too (she's also a programmer).

Listing the staff under the category of "Women" though, with the implication that these were going to be the only women at the event. And that would really piss her off.
haha, don't blink your eyes!
Now you've got me curious. Are you saying lossless video formats require more than four times the space to store four times the pixels? How can that possibly be?
Yep, because there's big money in that, enough to make people want to invest in a solution.
Actually this question made me think of the possibilities. There are frameworks out there that support MVC, which would make a robust client-side app running only in the browser.

I will be experimenting with this later today.
I'm a private office fan myself, but having worked in a team room before, it's actually pretty good so long as it is large enough and the "team" is actually a team.
You're way off track. The whole point is that there is a huge problem preventing potential customers from giving content owners money, even as the content owners bitch and moan about us not giving them money.

It is emphatically not the customer's job to solve the problem.

If you want money, make it easy for people to give you money, otherwise, you're just a crazy guy rambling about the vast world-wide conspiracy to screw you.
New iPad hits 116 degrees while running games
Two things:

1) The cost of good engineers in the Bay Area is ridiculous. Bringing lunch in, say, once a week, will be less than a 1% difference in your compensation budget. And you are competing with places like Google which have free awesome food daily.

2) People are not robots. In theory, it should make no difference who orders or pays for food. In practice, it's swell to just have something tasty show up so that everybody can have lunch together with no hassle.
The programs would need information from markets around the world, not just the closest to it. So if you're in Japan, you'll use information from the European markets to make more educated trades and vice versa.
PHP source now available on GitHub
For anyone wondering what this vim/tmux thing is about, what it looks like and what it can do (and seeing the questions in the rest of the comments, there are a few), click the link to that book and check the video. I was only vaguely familiar with tmux (as in I knew it's some sort of `screen`) and this really made it clear to me.

As soon as I put Linux on this machine I'll give it a try, too :)
Replace C++ with whatever programming language you like, the statement still stands.

You're putting the cart before the horse. People are not upset because the wording was offensive. People are offended because the wording was upsetting. The flyer clearly objectified "Women". Objectification of any category of humans should be considered wrong in any context. This is not a case of moral relativism (or at least it shouldn't be).
Social media in Google Analytics
It's not even a prank. It's a couple of half-educated, drunken frat-boys who wanted to throw a frat party disguised as a hack-a-thon. For it to be a prank, there would have to be a punchline.

Had they hired a bunch of Chippendale's dancers to serve booze (because alcohol does wonders for your productivity) and big hairy bikers to give massages (as opposed to the girls in tight t-shirts they no doubt retained for the event,) would be a prank.
Thanks for the replies so far!

I will give it a try today later. If I find any nice solutions I will give feedback.

When I thought of doing this I thought: "Why haven't I seen this before?", as it seems so feasible, but I never really read many discussions regarding this topic. Anyways, I do not dive in web programming too much, there may exist some solutions already.

I see that much of the programming that is done on the server-side could be done in the client-side with no collateral effects at all, if some cares were correctly taken!

Going even further, is there a way to securely manipulate remote databases through javascript? Maybe have a pair of asymmetric keys on the client-side/server-side (this server-side would be of the third party that offers the service, not mine) so I can authenticate the user at the server side. The client would then have to send this key with the operation he wants to perform in the database. If he has access, the operation is performed. Otherwise, it isn't.

Again, I do not know much about these topics. Maybe it is already done and I don't know. If you guys know of something like what I am saying, please let me know. It seems that it should not be very difficult to achieve these things in practice.
Sorry, I'll try to rephrase my question slightly.

If the software truly solves problems for everyone, why should we have to pick a marketing strategy that segments the population of potential users (previously stated to be everyone) by sex or gender?

Right, that's dreadful (see my last paragraph). But when most people object to open spaces they do so in terms of private offices. I don't want that either. I want a team area. Doesn't seem so hard.
THAT version is funny. So funny in fact, that I am now the proud owner of the deluxe edition!
Drop the anger. Focus on what you're doing. Forget about them. They are dead to you. It's not worth it wasting brain cells even thinking about this. It only wastes your time, your energy, and pollute you. Focus on what actually matters
Amortizing away the development and other fixed cost is cheating a little, no? I mean, we don't even know how to keep someone alive for the trip yet.

Reasonable people can disagree, but I wouldn't bet on Musk being alive to see the first successful round trip to Mars. But I also wouldn't bet against something truly amazing coming out of his activities.
New payment systems are raising concerns about privacy & security
The VPN system, while it works, is a barrier for most people and should not be considered anything more than skating with a broken ankle, because while you may win the Stanley Cup, you still have a broken ankle. It is only a solution for the elite and desperate and a symptom of the fact that the game is too rough, and may require the rules to be changed. (that analogy proved to be far more useful than I had hoped)
My mind was blown when I started thinking on the possibilities of entirely client-side running websites.

If the correct services exist, there are so many things that could be done better.
I'm not disputing the existence of differences between the groups "cupcake lovers" and "woman lovers". I'm asking for a logical explanation of how those differences matter w.r.t. the points rauljara and I made.

Bah, I bought this and tried to view it on an iPad. After a few failed attempts I try on my computer and it says I've used all my downloads? Boo.
When I wrote "nobody" I meant nobody, not "nobody among those that happen to be within hearing distance". This includes the people I have an X opinion about. IOW if blacks/hispanics/women. etc are not offended by my opinion about them, is it still wrong?
This kind of crap is at least part of the reason why there are relatively few women in tech. Yeah, some of them are natural pitbulls who will power through every obstacle. They aren't fazed by this kind of stuff.

But then there's the quiet majority who could go either way - this kind of thing says "Working in technology isn't for you. You're not welcome here".

Not really the message we want to send to people we'd like to attract into coding as a profession / hobby.
I just happen to think there are perhaps more important issues worth focussing on in schools such as materialism, environmentalism, the role of belief and science, what it means to be part of a society, the nature of democracy etc which are more timely and vital to introduce kids to.

Racism, in the first world other than the US, seems not dead but mortally wounded and we are ready to move on to the next problem to tackle.
Expanding ZeroCater will involve solving tremendous quality and logistical problems when attempted in the real world at "typical" companies.

At the risk of sounding like the person who predicted the need for only 100 computers worldwide (or whatever that small number was) I don't see how this idea can be expanded to offer a similar service in the legacy corporate world where companies are not trying to be "mommy" to their workers to squeeze out ounces of extra productivity.

Food service is really hard even if you operate the food service place and the people come to you. Here you are maintaining quality among multiple food places with many chances for things to get screwed up. Additionally the typical workplace is not filled with a young forgiving workforce.
Not at all.

When deciding whether you think someone should apologize or not for an action, the issue is not whether the party they offended can force an apology, it's whether you believe that person's action was wrong.

Many of the people angry about this incident believe that sexism is wrong, but advocating atheism in Dawkins' manner is not wrong. Therefore they believe the sexist should apologize, and Dawkins should not. Their opinions are consistent, and it has nothing to do with force.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a "well" planned document.

If it's a joke, where's the punchline? Were they not going to have women servers? Were the massage people going to be big, hairy, biker types?
Which was my point of squareup or square neither probably got much search results, but now they have a killer domain with square. Instead of squa.re or something similar.

Twitter and Pownce both launched about the same time, Pownce is dead (sure it could have been founder execution issues).

Also, I am sure bigsaving.com gets a lot more traffic, but nobody to startup that ever hopes to get brand recognition would ever buy that. Its why fund.com, bank.com, ad.com will never have household recognition because its to generic.

To answer your question, no the amounts being offered will not get me to the next level.

I think PG is talking about YC's selection process. A startup applied, was not accepted, but became a success. Selection is the core of YC team's job, and this post is a self reflection on how can they get better. In that sense, this is certainly a bug.

As a teen who grew up in a pacifist background, I rejected the book's dubious moral constructions. As I said to a friend at the time, who had argued Ender had no other choice: "he doesn't HAVE to live." The same applies to humanity as a whole. As your conclusion rightly notes, we are not so special as to deserve to live at any cost, or to deserve to destroy our enemies at any cost.
This is perfect timing, am embarking on a new UI. Just a note: the payment page has really light text that is hard to read, you may wish to consider making the font color a little darker. Otherwise I enjoyed the payment process, rather unique.
There's no crime there. People have the right to say offensive things in the privacy of their own homes. Other people have the right to disagree with the first people, and to even voice their disagreement. What's the problem?

From #2:
"According to a news report by local station WRDW, the police incident report in the case claims that the teacher read “pornographic material from the Internet to the students in class. One of the stories was about prostitutes having their faces covered with ejaculation.”

And in #4, OSC says that he's pretty sure it wasn't Ender's Game at all.

Advice for product managers
I think it depends somewhat on how you do it.

We're very collaborative, so being locked away in rooms would be a pain. We all sit together, but we reduce the pain of open-plan offices by being careful to minimize distraction. E.g., phone calls happen in other rooms. Meetings that don't involve the whole team go in the conference room.

Keeping apps fast and fluid with asynchrony
Lord of the Networks
The world is changed. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of Three Networks. One was given to the Friend, the Professional, and the Socialite. For within these Social Networks was bound the strength and will to govern each.

However, another Network was forged in the fires of Silicon Valley by the Dark Mark Zuckerberg – a Master Social Network to control all others… and into this Network the pariah poured his derelict social skills, his malice and his will to dominate all Social Networks. One Network to rule them all… Facebook. A Network that consisted of meaningless updates and irrelevant photos bound to rare encounters, yet the people lived in fear of removal. A Network run by advertisements and awkward requests. One by one the Networks fell to the power of the Facebook. The power of the Master Social Network could not be undone.

There were some… who resisted… they were Friendsignia. A last alliance of true friends and professionals who marched against the armies of Facebook. On the slopes of Social Media Fatigue the fellowship fought for the freedom of meaningful networking across the land. Friendsignia was the first Social Relationship Manager that provided insight to the strength of true relationships. Unlike the Fires of Facebook, Friendsignia wanted to bring interactions back within the realm of the living, not the deep confines of saturated social media. Friendsignia provided a gracious tool set that allowed the fairest beings to harness existing relationships or even conjure new ones.

Join the resistance at Friendsignia.com and become part of the fellowship.

May the journey continue…
