As of 2009, Facebook had 60k servers worldwide, while Amazon had 40k dedicated to EC2 [1]. While Amazon has a lot more going on than just EC2, doesn't this indicate Facebook's and Amazon's footprints are at least on approximately the same order of magnitude in terms of number of servers?

Yeah, providing sandboxed and controlled access to certain areas of the dom and certain functions is exactly what they appear to be doing in their TW example. However, that tiny demo looks like it takes up 800 lines of code! WTF?
I enjoy reading both the incredibly biased but still informative Groklaw and then the incredibly biased in the opposite direction (and paid by MS/Oracle) Florian Mueller. Looking past the thinly veiled cheerleading isn't that hard once you realize where they're coming from and both seem fairly thorough.

But what would be really awesome is if there was somewhere I could go for legal tech blogging that isn't always good or bad news for open source.

Nilay Patel and Matt Macari at the Verge do a good job but coverage isn't as regular as what you'll get by checking Groklaw daily and it gets lost in the Verge-o-polis.
Also: "Edward Serevan: I wouldn't characterize the JSE as being only for laptops and desktops. Smartphones have become capable enough to run the JSE."

It looks like their expectation was that JSE would run on phones as well. So they were already planning fragmentation at this level.
An interesting subtext here is Dubai's political stance.

They're friendly enough to Israel and Western nations that they "didn't catch" the assassins; even the article says the Mossad's blown cover is a surprise.

Meanwhile, Dubai seems happy to roll out biometrics aggressively at their borders.

Ok, those are the facts. My analysis: Dubai wants to clamp down on "unilateral" operations (read: illegal or politically toxic acts where Dubai is the pawn in other nations fights).

Dubai could become Switzerland-esque neutral party that can reasonably claim Arabs are safe, _and_ Israelis are safe.

It would surely boost their tourism to have a clean record. "Come visit us. We can police our streets and protect our borders."

And I imagine they wouldn't mind having that kind of political clout either.
Maybe opinions are changing on this one, but the way I learned it is simple: refer to yourself as if the other person wasn't there. So:

Come to the store with my Dad and I. (no)
Come to the the store with I.

Come to the store with my Dad and me. (yes)
Come to the the store with me.

Dad and me went to the store. (no)
Me went to the store.

Dad and I went to the store. (yes)
I went to the store.

Remove the third party and it's immediately obvious which to use.

It wouldn't be too much to ask to cache what has been loaded WHILE the app is running, is it?
Or even maybe keep it cached w/o the pictures. Hell, they could maybe poll 50 entries instead of 25 and cache it with no problem (excluding graphics).

While I am at this, WHY does mobile safari have to reload a page every time i switch tabs/press the home button and instantly power it up again? It's not only hugely annoying on a non 3g device, it also makes no sense, you should at least be able to set an interval/turn it off...
Out of curiosity, I decided to paste the code into jsbeautifier.org. Line 6 of the result:

function bagofholding() {};

The only other references to it much further down in the file:

if (!p.whenReady) p.whenReady = bagofholding;
if (!p.onMessage) p.onMessage = bagofholding;

If you Google for "bagofholding" (without quotes), the second result is this wikipedia article [1]:

A bag of holding is a fictional magical item in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, capable of containing objects larger than its own size. Since its introduction, it has appeared in other roleplaying games and media.

Perhaps a better question is, why not? It affects Facebook users, so it makes sense to be one (and therefor have no issue with signing in) in order to view the bug, right? I don't see the big issue with that. It seems like "having to sign in" is a popular thing to dislike, lately - not just for Facebook.
I'm not sure if it's a non-starter. As a total code newb, I would find it very enticing to have to learn fewer things--like just their front end--rather than server-side too. If they are truly awesome, I'd probably be willing to pay through the nose to have that simplicity. If they can effectively reduce complexity so that all you really need to learn is JavaScript, it's going to make it easier for non-software engineers to build services. Of course most of the market isn't new to programming, but flattening the learning curve of would-be programmers is a pretty important comparative advantage.
Dubai and other micro-states are very susceptible to demographic changes for one and that's very serious. Also a lot of rich (legit and shady) types go there followed by secret services. Dubai will take their money http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/11/kabul-bank-fraud... so they need to provide some safety or else there goes the neighborhood.

If you can't be bothered to sign in, why do you want to see a "bug report" that affects facebook users?
It is to prevent/reduce the posting of large amounts of text. Big blocks of grey text are hard to read, so it discourages people from posting them.

Apparently it is preferred that if you have that much to say, then you should create a blog post and then submit that.

Were you ever promised these grants in writing? If not, you probably have a very difficult case to make.

The management of a company, and potential acquirers, have a zillion ways to screw employees out of the value of their options. If your management is trying to screw you now pre-money it's only going to get worse. I say leave at the earliest opportunity.
It's always been public just not promoted. We made it known after Andy's talk at SXSW (grown up css, recommended listening) and after I chatted with Andy and Jeremy Keith who urged us and more companies to release their styleguides. We see this as invaluable tool for internal communications within our team as well as an industry trend (24ways, BBC Gel - both of which we're big fans of). The response has been overwhelmingly positive and for that we're proud and humbled as we are just trying to create the best websites we can for our customers.

Yeah, I'm in no way proud of that beast of a code. There are a couple things at play here:

1. The js.js API is currently very low-level, which makes it verbose and difficult to use. There's a lot of room for improvement.

2. The twitter script was actually chosen because it's complex. It has a ton of boilerplate code that you'd probably be surprised is in there.

3. A lot of the code written could be generalized into a generic virtual DOM interface library that is not specific to this twitter script. Things like screen.width and screen.height are common properties that would be accessed by many different scripts and so could be generalized.
You don’t need Testers – Or do you?
2 things.

1. Police are taking at least 20% hit right off the top. so, sure $1000 turns into $750 at 5%, the police are going to be looking at $600 profit, at the very best. a $1000 computer would be more like $100 dollars after five years, in which the police keep $80 bucks.

2. You can pirate all the copyrighted material you want in Argentina and Zimbabwe. Furthermore, neither of those countries really care about property rights. if the government wants your stuff, they just take it anyway.
For that matter, why do they even need handles? Primitive ape-men just used big rocks as their tools. If it's good enough for the ape-men...!
Yes it is clearly written down that we have grants, but the specifics are not written (at least for most employees, it seems). The options are definitely in the money already.

I spent a few years of my life staring at this exact effect. I was working on building a big industrial inkjet printer. The physics behind it is cool too, but not new. Lord Rayleigh first described it in 1878. Not exactly a glitch in the Matrix :). I have a patent somewhere on a minor tweak to the concept, but can't find it right now. Good times.

More info:

Just to clarify for everyone assuming that this is an optical illusion. It's not. The subwoofer is actually creating vibrations in the water stream that increase exponentially as the stream travels until their magnitude is larger than the diameter of the stream. At this point, the stream breaks up into drops. If you do this with a coloured stream of water (i.e. ink) and run a piece of paper under it, you will see individual drops of ink hit the paper.

There are two types of inkjet printers. The most common is what you see in household inkjet printers, it's called Drop-on-demand. You spit out a drop by doing something to the ink. Ofter you heat up a resistor, converting some of the ink to steam and pushing out a drop of ink.

The other type is called continuous inkjet. The way this works is you have a stream of ink, you stimulate it at some frequency which gives you drops at that frequency, and then you select some drops to hit the paper and others to miss.

The project I was working on used conductive ink and selectively charged the drops before sending them between two oppositely charged plates, sort of like a cathode ray tube with ink drops instead of electrons.

It was ridiculously cool technology, and a lot of fun to work on. The printer we were designing (never got to market in that incarnation) would have had paper going by at ~6 meters/second with very high quality, totally variable output. I thought we were going to disrupt offset printing in a big way. Sigh :).

[edit] Ooo, found the patent. Great bedtime reading if you're interested: http://bit.ly/HXc6o2

Sure, families as a whole spend trillions a year, but you don't get any meaningful insight at such a high level of abstraction. Also, many of the ways that families spend money--like games (mobile games), toys (toygaroo), and entertainment (netflix) are already being served. I don't buy that families are a particularly under-served market in terms of start-up attention.

I am not sure if Chinese and Japanese can be equated like that. I find Chinese much easier to learn than Japanese because Chinese characters have plenty of built-in pronunciation mnemonics that don't help as much with the Japanese pronunciation. When I studied Japanese, I wasted lots of time coming up with stories to remember complex characters.
Maybe it also depends on whether you have good pictorial memory or need some kind of analytical system, I definitely belong to the latter camp.
I don't think that saying J2ME should run on any given OS for a platform or form factor is relevant. I could then argue that if there is no Java for Minix or someone's pet OS that runs on a server somewhere that servers are not a platform for Java. Doesn't seem right.

I don't think it matters how complex or precise the Google definition of what Android is, that is their definition. Oracle's point in this was the damage to the perception of Java as a portable way to build programs for anything "Java" -- Android was only part-way Java, creating the alleged confusion. I think the parallel to Sun's MS suit from long ago is fairly straightforward.

Are we talking about vocabulary usage or recognition? Estimates vary, but the rough consensus for English seems to be that the educated native speaker recognizes around 15,000-25,000 words, but only uses around 5,000-8,000 in their own speech/writing.
I think a significant other helps to get you started, and later is handy for all the little cultural things which C1 fluency absolutely requires.

But you risk using the same terms all the time, getting used to each other's nonstandard pronunciation, and lastly, you may sound much more like a tomboy/sissy by only talking to the opposite gender. I really hope it's not too late for me to stop doing all of these :(

Joomla is still a thing?
Ah, interesting :-)

I was just curious since there seem to be a few languages that only have single line comments. But usually it just results in people finding "hacks" so they can make them anyway (like Python's doc-strings) which just ends up being uglier than supporting them natively.
Agreed, but Android was never actually J2SE either so Android is a fragmentation of a different sort. Of course, the the court accepts Oracle's right to control Java then it is Oracle's choice to fragment it however they like, not Google's. If Google is out ahead of them defining how this fragmentation will happen then if you are Oracle I guess you argue that this is damaging their ability to plan and execute it as they wish since Google's choices are already associated with the Java name. This confusion is, I guess, sort of, kind of, damaging to the ecosystem.. if you were easily confused I guess.

See my comment above. You actually need the sound to create vibrations in the stream of water that breaks it up into drops. The coolest thing is that there really are drops here, it's not an optical illusion.

Would love to be enlightened though. It does sound interesting.
