I've done ~15 Windows reinstalls in the last few years, and every single one of them was malware masquerading as anti-virus software. OSX's reputation may make Mac users feel invincible, but Windows users' knowledge of their vulnerability opens them to pretty effective scare tactics.

In fact, it hit my house twice, and I'm not exactly incompetent: Win7, Security Essentials, kept on top of Windows Update, no admin privileges for little brother or mom, updated Firefox, etc. The last time, it turned out we were behind on Java updates - it popped up in the systray 5 or 6 times a day for a few months and the few times my dad tried to allow the update, it failed. I didn't know about that until I was in the room while my brother was using the machine and I saw a dialog that looked an awful lot like Windows reminding you to install AV but not quite right. No way anyone else would have noticed that the background gradient was just a bit off. Did a scan... MSE was showing me 20 different Java exploits and "Anti"virus 2012 wouldn't let me open Firefox again outside of safe mode. Not something my parents would be able to deal with when I'm not there; they would have had to pay somebody. Its replacement will be a Mac; they like OSX better anyway.

I worked for a small-business IT firm for 3 summers and have never seen or heard of OSX malware except from the blogosphere/HN/media. We took our clients' security pretty seriously - corporate domains, enforced Automatic Updates, no idiots with local admin, corporate endpoint antivirus, antivirus in the spam filter, Sonicwalls, Firefox wherever possible, etc. Still, we got virus calls pretty frequently. I would usually babysit the reinstalls at a reduced rate, but when I wasn't interning, businesses were shelling out $150/hour for that. To be fair, most were XP, but there were a few virus calls for Win7.

I don't have statistics, but if you're going to claim OSX has fallen as far as Windows in terms of infection rate, I think the burden is on you to show some data. Again, just as many family friends running OSX as Windows; I've had Macs die (my MBP's motherboard gave out right after 4 years), I've had Macs run out of disk space, I've had the PowerPC/Intel switch lose my family a lot of money because perfectly good ~2006 machines can't run a modern OS or Flash/Firefox/iTunes, but I've never seen malware for OSX.

Problem was most of the demos used many many megs of ram as they procedurally generated objects and stored them in memory. The 64k demos were disk size.

Assuming memory mapping is used for displays the (128k of ram (64k of words)) is also needed to hold your display buffer. Assuming a mere 320 x 200 x 8 screen will use 1/2 of your entire virtual memory space. Look for demos of what people do on C64 demos for a better idea. Yes you can run a UNIX, yes you can talk TCP... but its going to chew up a lot of the capacity for that infrastructure. I expect very light weight protocols, TCP/IP is likely too heavy weight.

They anchored the start of Silicon Valley with Hewlett Packard. I think that Federal Telegraph 1909 founding is a much better starting point, See Timothy J. Sturgeon’s "How Silicon Valley Came to Be" where he notes:

The fact that the San Francisco Bay Area’s electronics industry began close to the turn of the Twentieth Century should lay to rest the notion that industrialization and urbanization on the scale of Silicon Valley can be quickly induced in other areas. Silicon Valley is nearly 100 years old. It grew out of a historically and geographically specific context that cannot be recreated. The lesson for planners and economic developers is to focus on long-term, not short-term developmental trajectories. Silicon Valley was the fastest growing region in the United States during the late 1970s and early 1980s; but that growth came out of a place, not a technology. Silicon Valley’s development is intimately entwined with the long history of industrialization and innovation in the larger San Francisco Bay Area.

I think the reason the Mint is launching this contest is to see what the community can come up with. Hopefully having a development community first will lead to enough useful applications that answer the question of advantages.
I didn't mean to imply that it was. But I think calibwam has a point that there have been a disproportionate number of front-page posts today about these implementations, and it's just kind of odd.

I love d3. Mike Bostock does great work and the flexibility of the d3 library really makes it super-powerful. The fact that it doesn't work lt IE9, however, makes it unusable for me at work. Most people on corporate networks (at least in my experience) are running win xp with ie8. Once we move everyone to win7 I should be able to start pushing out some great analytics based on the d3 library. looking forward to it!

I'm not really a conference-goer but I thought the parties were kind of the point. I'll go see someone famous like http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/musings.html out of sheer tourist curiosity, but if you're just some guy, I'd rather read what you have to say (and unlimited followups) at my leisure than sit through the lecture format. A dry meet&greet could work, but only if there's a critical mass of interesting people who are equally comfortable doing that while sober (i.e., not using a buzz to damp social anxiety).
Re: Brogrammers

I don't think that drinking has anything to do with the brogrammer trend. Drinking was around before the brogrammer trend and it's going to be around after. The author states that drinking might be the cause of the brogrammer trend but the offers nothing to support that claim and does not elaborate further.

Nobody is discussing drinking as a cause of this because it's not.

> every single single one of them was malware masquerading as anti-virus software.

I'm curious what you think about Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - this was the only product that was able to clean my father's Win7 PC for Antivirus 2012 (by booting into safe mode with networking and running the cleaner). Paid for the Pro version. A little difficult to get working with the Symantec virus scanner but worth every penny for not having to make the trip to my parents to clean malware since...

Absolutely loved the video. Thanks for telling us how you did that.
I worked for a company that had a large amount of HIPAA data on Amazon's EC2 platform. We did significant encryption (including field-level encryption) on the data to help mitigate security concerns.

We were able to pass security inspections by 4 fortune 500 health companies with this model (though a couple of them needed significant hand-holding).

It made querying that data a pain in the ass because you couldn't do a SELECT ... WHERE <encrypted field> = 'foo' as the data wasn't encrypted client side.

One cool thing about datomic is that the query engine runs client side, so it can also invoke client side methods as part of the query. This means that if you had encrypted data in your store, that it could be trivially decrypted client-side and you could potentially get the full expressiveness of the language to work with your data.
What is a good resource for understanding how all of this works? Books, site, tutorial, minix usenet threads... I don't care, just something to get me started.

Hacker Storytelling
You make some good points, but it seems to me that each time we come close to the practical questions, the conversation veers away from them again. The one practical detail I understand and agree with you about is that sometimes when one factors to remove duplication, the change makes things worse by blocking the evolution of one or more of the original passages of code. They were "false friends" as the French say, and the abstraction you thought you found was spurious. It takes a while to get a feel for when this is the case. That being said, it's not that hard and I don't think it has much bearing on the big question, which is: how can we minimize the overall complexity of a system? I believe this is (1) deeper, (2) harder, (3) more important, and (4) more doable than (as far as I can tell) you give it credit for.

defining whether A and B are part of the same program is a red herring

Do you accept that minimizing complexity is critical and that program length is the best indicator of complexity? That makes program length critical, and you can't measure that without knowing what counts as part of the program. What part of this argument is wrong?

I'm beginning to think it boils down to whatever a particular team or organization has to maintain. If you're Microsoft then you pay for the length of Windows, otherwise you don't have to count it. If this is true then it's entirely a social question, and what we should be considering is something like lines of code per maintainer.
This is super cool and all, but it's all fun and games until someone walks in front of a car.

I personally run chrome and block all plugins by default, and enable them when I think I have a good idea what the plugin is doing. You can then set specific sites that may always run plugins, so it's not overly annoying when on a few flash-heavy sotes. Presumably Safari has a similar option.

Unfortunately Chrome only allows you to "run all plug-ins" on a site or "block all plug-ins", so there's still a possibility of enabling Java when you meant to enable flash to view a video. However, it's probably a good first step against attacks like these.

I also run under a regular user account without direct sudo access, so any action that modifies system files should request an admin password. Jeff Atwood (codinghorror.com) had a good post about this for Windows:

In a few words, they are not thinking as much as before as to what Their core clients want. I.e. better search, among other things.

Shoving Google+ in everyone's mouth was not a smart move. Not everyone likes social media, and sharing stuff. Google used to serve the people who were primarily interested in "reading" the web, not necessarily participating into its content.

And the fact that Larry Page considers the move as "successful" and obviously does not acknowledge that they have any kind of issue is concerning. They are NOT listening to feedback. Just like they forced on everyone that horrible gmail redesign. Where was the feedback taken in account?

Your best bet is a university text book on computer architecture. The course I took used a decimal based CPU (not binary) and had many other "simplifications" but its probably your best bet, at least unless you want to learn assembly level programming full stop... in which case there is some really good 32bit linux asm tutorials out there (64 bit stuff isn't as common).

This is basically part of most first year IT / CS courses, and kind of not used in day to day IT so many self taught programmers never learn it.
When working out what business you're in, you should ask yourself, "why do my customers pay me?", not "what do my operations do?"

For example:

Google is in the same industry as News Corp. They sell advertising space, that's what they're paid for.

So with Penn rail: what are the customers paying for? It's not trains or rail operations. It's getting from A to Z.

That is the zillion dollar question right there. We're facing it now and it's only going to get worse.

The economic system we have in place now seems like it breaks down when a portion of your population cannot join the workforce in any sort of useful fashion.

I don't think you can solve this problem with the current ideologies of the common American. It goes against the "core values" of many Americans so any attempt to change the system will be met with much opposition.
Actually it depended mostly on hindsight bias. For those companies that succeeded, we invent a narrative and apply it backwards in time to decide that "core competencies" or "diversification" was the critical inflection point.

But it might have been due to the rise of the dollar against the yen, or the effect of an outbreak of gastro in the plant of a critical supplier in Guatemala, or because a supplier's supplier went bankrupt and your supplier is preoccupied trying to get money from the smoking ruins of a business you know nothing about.

BTW: Here was my attempt at building something like what you are describing from a few years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMZkd8YMgzw

From what I learned building that, my advice is this. Don't ask us what we want the bot to do, make it open enough that we just show you what we'll do. You need a community, not a "product". Building an entire mobility platform just so I could program a neat asterisk app was a chore I would have gladly paid for. I want to code, not solder.

It still takes a gig-plus with the usual linux toolchain (also, it takes HOURS, now). It's not just an issue with MSVC link.exe, even if the linux toolset hasn't hit the critical point yet that MSVC has. The point is that other programs manage to link without this sort of absurdity. Why the hell can't winamp? (making good on my promise, firefox is now winamp)

As for busted profiles and add-ons, I don't know what to say to that that's not blatantly offensive, so I'll just offend. Winamp is a fat, ugly, smelly cow. It didn't used to be. Either the web is now a pig-farm, and everybody is writing javascriptish-do-nothing-scripts that allocate hundreds of megs without purpose (in which case, winamp needs to take a leadership role in fixing the javascript problem), or winamp has other serious issues it needs to address.

Either way, it's not my problem. Winamp devs can deal with that stuff.

"Unfortunately, for single-member LLCs or sole-owner S-Corps, creditors will generally require the owner to contractually waive such protections."

Relates to contracts you sign (and getting a credit or charge card which you end up signing personally even though it's a "business" card) but not necessarily to expenses or everyday debts (the local printer, the coffee company, merchandise on net 30 terms etc.) In short you can have debt that is shielded as a corporation.

"In contrast, it is extremely difficult to sell an unincorporated/unorganized business,"

Don't agree with this at all. I sold one (20 person company) and the fact that it was a sole proprietorship didn't make it any harder to sell from my experience.

Agree with the other things you said and correctly pointing out that you can deduct business expenses as an individual.

A buddy of mine, when he was a kid, used to tie toilet paper across the road at windshield height then hide in the bushes. A car would come along at ~30 mph, see it, then come to a screeching halt. Some would get out and tear it down, some would stomp the gas. Point is, every human stopped for a single strand of toilet paper blocking the road.
