(since you're in cali, and I'm not) I'd like to draw your attention to the science hack days in SF. Have a look at this wiki[0]. WilliamGunn and cazDev on github are two people I know who've participated in / have some connections that might help a project like this happen.

I agree with it. If Apple supports Device Management scheme, S.Korea Military won't prevent iPhone. Actually not just iPhone but all other phones that MDM cannot be installed.
Works, Amazing, I think you accidently just created a way to hypnotize people in a second.
I have heard that Apple campuses and information are highly compartmentalized, almost along DoD lines. Badge access systems heavily restrict who can go where. I'm curious what their policy is on carrying devices into access controlled areas.
I love and use Cyanogenmod, but I think it is still too linked to Android.
Confused over C++ Stack Usage
mukaiji - I would love to chat to you. Drop me a line at richard [at] academia.edu.

What is this supposed to do, other than attempt to crash my browser?
step 1. go into /Library/Quicktime and move ALL the .component files out of there.
step 2. Go into ~/Library/Quicktime and move ALL the .component files out of there.
step 3. (re)-install perian
step 4. Try playing a movie that usually craps out.

One of the annoying things about Mac OSX is that a rogue codec can mess up ALL media playing activities on the computer- so when you encounter problems, I've found the most successful strategy is to figure out which codec is messing things up.
The whole point of taxes is that we can't rely on voluntary
donations to fund public goods.

Actually, the Romans did just that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aedile

Note this part from the article in particular:

Because Aediles were not reimbursed for any of their public
expenditures, most individuals who sought the office were
independently wealthy. Since this office was a stepping stone to
higher office and the Senate, it helped to ensure that only
wealthy individuals (mostly landowners) would win election to
high office.

So, yes, it's possible to organize things that way, but the side effect is that it limits political power and offices to those who are wealthy. And, yes, the Romans also had taxes so they didn't rely on this method entirely, but this is an alternative model of funding public expenses without taxation and hence a counterexample to your claim.

On the other hand, there's a lot of money that is being spent on campaign advertisements. Perhaps it would be a net gain for society if politicians 'advertised' by spending that cash on public goods instead. Perhaps we can learn from the Romans. :-P
Honestly, the best way to get started with assembly is to start with another architecture than x86. My course in university was on 68k, and I thought it was much cleaner. These days, I'd probably suggest ARM - it's both relevant to the modern world and not quite as hindered with legacy concepts.
Have you ever worked with a system that needs to deal with more than one language at the same time? What if your users want to mix Japanese with Russian in the same sentence? Or Japanese and simplified Chinese? (Yes, people do that.)

In the global Internet, UTF-16 and UTF-8 are the only games in town.
To those who don't wish to provide their email address without understanding what the company is:

"Classfy is a marketplace that makes it easy for anyone to buy and sell anything in Bitcoins or Dollars.Forget about exchanges. Just buy and sell."

From a Google search description.
Prometheus gets new epic trailer
The same way there can there be a "last Tuesday".
Universus Travel & Tourism
Yes.
That is not completely correct.
We can build any marketplace on top of the platform. We wanted to see the interest of the Bitcoin community in having a dedicated marketplace.
But Classfy is not limited to Bitcoin. We actually want to start with a marketplace for wine first. You pay in regular currency :)
Well, actually I was not only having attribution errors in mind, too. Peer review ensures that colleagues will tell you about related work that you don't know about. Sometimes, people will tell you that something is related, even though you yourself don't actually think it's related work. Only with some time and acceptance, you will see that the remarks are really related, probably not directly to your own contribution, but to the bigger field that you orient yourself in.

Come to think of it that this is probably the most important detractor for having an NLP based "recommender." Personally, something like this might be interesting, probably even a great help, but at the end of the day, people need to really read a lot of papers, follow the proceedings of their target conferences, journals, and asking colleagues for their bibliographies. This has the added benefit of teaching them how to present their own work in contrast to others, do meaningful evaluations (in the best of all worlds, of course!) and figure out who is doing interesting work and might be valuable to get into contact with. Of course, some parts could be automated, but there is currently no incentive for scientists to do so.

IMHO, it would be a much more important step for CS researches to publish their code, too, because I frequently come across papers that have no implementation or evaluation at all--and that's really bad, because then the least-publishable unit becomes an idea with nice pictures. Researchers can be very successful using this "publication strategy." Come to think of it, there should be another approach to rank scientists by the number of publications, or their impact; unfortunately, I have no idea what could work instead.
I know that domain specific search engines for finance charge per usage.
Yep. In most areas, there are Hackfests where developers of a particular language get together and just code.

In Boston, there are tons of hackfests, and various other entrepreneurial events that can help anyone find a co-founder, I just haven't had any luck yet ;)
The tech companies who are actually hiring people (i.e. the antithesis of the two person startup seeking technical co-founder) are selling a product or service for money. The only people worried about a bubble are those who are hoping to cash out on their user count. Ask yourself: "does the work I do contribute to a product or service that can be sold?". If the answer is yes, then you're living outside the bubble.
Running a 5k "Parks and Rec" style
When Automattic announced they wanted the global WordPress community to participate in their Worldwide WP 5k, WP Engine decided to make a day of it and participate in the community event as a company. We were excited about running the same race that other Automatticians and WordPressers were running the world over.

We added a bit of flavor to the mix, and filmed the entire thing as if it were an episode of "Parks and Rec"

Our founder and CEO, @asmartbear, decided to go the extra mile, (well, two kilometers), and accidentally ran a 7k. Everyone finished the race in short order, and the film crew took a lot of footage that has been edited into this short video that will promote the Automattic 5k and is also a blast to watch
OK, I don't use VirtualBox, for performance reasons I use VMWare Fusion. Even with this, I find, as you, that using GUI on the VM slows the Mac much more than ssh'ing to the VM. So, the VM is a serious culprit. Certainly, if I have the VM running, I expect some slowdown and occasional swapping -- basically it means I just gave up 1 GB or memory to the VM (out of 2) plus tons of I/O scheduled by a different OS within my OS.

Other than that, I also don't run Time Machine at all -- I use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to make incremental and/or bootable backups every week or so. With iCloud, Dropbox etc for the important day to day documents, I don't see much need for Time Machine anymore.

So those would be two places to look at.

Besides those, you can try running some DTrace scripts for a more detailed look when your system starts to crap out.
These 'squares' and 'buckets of paint' are part of a historical view to understanding the history of human development and I would consider you look at each period of art as more than just figurative representations of light, but as representations of how we view ourselves and our humanity. We can go back thousands of years and trace how society has grown through art, from the rock paintings of thousands of years ago when they believed the spirit of the animal existed in it's figurative representation, reflected in the animal worship and the full respect of nature of those cultures, to the 20th abstract work where advances in psychology, human rights, education, etc, lead us to the postmodern age we live in now, where not everything is black or white or is the way it is just because it looks a certain way. Art, great art, has a way of representing who we are, and I would contest your argument that it does not take a genius to unveil the intricacies of a human mind.

There aren't any benefits.

Government is just a business model, when it comes right down to it that's what it reduces to. It doesn't magically have the ability to ignore the rules of economics or spend infinitely without consequence.

Anything provided by the government is purchased just as surely as you had purchased it from private enterprise. Effectively the only difference is you do not have a choice as to what is purchased, or how much it costs you.

Saying that modern democratic socialism is a hedge against entrenched control by special interests is so utterly divorced from reality I'm wondering whether this is actually a really well spoken troll? Look at the tax practices of general electric or hell, even those discussed in TFA and tell me that it's government that controls the corporations, and not the other way around.

Remember, government is just another business model.
Do you think anybody will sponsor me to attend Python event?

Individual ticket is at $200. I am hoping that I could get a sponsor on part of the fee. Do you guys know anyone willing to do that?
Typingweb.com is how I went from about 50 words / minute pecking to 80 touch typing. After you get to a certain point with the tutorial the only thing that you can do to get faster is practice. One of the world class typists used to type out a 1000 word block of text each day, starting over whenever he made mistake (this was after he retired.) If you don't have any writing assignments that you are obligated to do, I suggest copying a few pages worth of articles each day. Alternate focusing on perfect accuracy for one article and then focus on speed for the next. Eventually you should get faster.
Any reason Google's Siri counterpart would be limited to new versions of the OS? Most (all?) of Google's core apps are available on older versions of the OS.

In fact I'm not sure I understand why Siri isn't available on the iPhone 4/iPad 2, etc.

This is also half the story. Under GAAP, net income was -85 million last quarter and the quarter preceding it was -435 million.
Yeh thats true, but i think the key is (as you suggested) he had many differences/oddities from the beginning (a very young age), you being a good father didnt tell him to change or fit the normal mold but encouraged that differences in thought. If that different way of thinking for your son are signs of genius then you cultivated it but its origins can not be explained or learnt by trying to think in the same way .... which frankly sucks.

I guess we can try and get so far, but for most normal people, we can do it to an extent in our field of expertise but still somewhat bound by previously learnt data that needs to be accumulated over a substantial period of time to get that A->C thinking .. without it problems in a differing field are still just solved step by step.
I think during worldwide exploration or Napoleonic wars there was smaller social barriers.

It might be a good idea to have a bit more description on your main page, since not many would be willing to provide their email address without understanding what the product is.

I showed this to my 9-year old daughter. After explaining it to her, her first question was 'Can I have one?'. I told her that it was a one-off. She then asked me to bookmark the page for her.

No, WiFi operates in the ISM band, which is by design a free-for-all where the only thing regulated is the emitted radio power. It is intentionally the radio equivalent of a public billboards where microwave ovens and iPads fight for supremacy.

In any event, the actual criminals are going to exploit it no matter what. Google should probably invoice the complainers for saving them from themselves.
Why do you feel that the SRS's utility is determined by whether the words are in context or not? In fact, the people over at AJATT[0] have recommended using sentences and never using individual words. You want to practice in the types of situations you're actually going to encounter the language in. And in almost all cases, you'll encounter Korean (and any other spoken language) in the form of whole sentences, or at least phrases.

True, but the other side of the coin is that investments can exit at much higher value in a bubble environment.
Firefox: Not A Good Citizen on OS X Lion (Part 2)
I have i little trouble with this expression:"thinking out of the box". Its not a well defined expression. I don't know exactly how to express it, but it doesn't seems natural. Saying it, seems like they think toootally different from other people. I believe its more about approaching the problem from a lot of perspectives and doing it incessantly.
Ill Gates about process, producing and success
I totally agree about the importance of scientists to publish their code. That is critical. It's one of the many parts of the scientific process where the community would benefit from greater sharing.
Show HN: Crowdsourced incremental Wikipedia improvements
This is not the case for Opera.
So some of this makes sense, but I don't entirely get the focus on recurring/subscription revenue as a new/disruptive thing in the B2B space. Isn't that the 60-year-old standard model for enterprise sales, pioneered by IBM? SaaS is certainly a new delivery model, but a subscription licensing model itself seems pretty well established.
Works for me. And I have exactly the same version as you. (But I am running Xubuntu if that matters).

It's not the price that matters, it's the activity level. House-flippers don't complain about the price of the house; returns are relative. You can't honestly tell me that times like this aren't better than, say, 2003?

Now, I don't mean to imply that you, personally, have some sinister intentions to keep the bubble going. But in general, VCs have to speak highly of the industry. Otherwise, how do they explain any investment?

If I'm wrong, and I could be, I'd love to see some examples of tech VCs who are actively calling a bubble. I'll bet there aren't many, and that's no coincidence.
It also depends on what it is you "go wide" on.

Early in my career I had the option of taking the proprietary track (mainframes, DEC/AXP, Microsoft Windows NT, several other proprietary platforms), or the open one (Unix, Linux, shell tools, GNU toolchain). One thing I realized was that just on an ability to get my hands on the tools I wanted to use, the open route was vastly more appealing. It's gotten somewhat better, but you could still easily pay $10-$20k just for annual licenses for tools you'd use.

The other benefit I found was that there was a philosophy of openness and sharing which permeated the open route as well. I've met, face to face, with the founders of major technological systems. And while there are many online support channels for proprietary systems, I've found the ones oriented around open technologies are more useful.

Dittos on training for proprietary systems. It's wonderful ... if you want to learn a button-pushing sequence for getting a task done, without a particularly deep understanding of the process. The skills I've picked up on my own or (very rarely) through training on open technologies have been vastly more durable.
Give Fedora a shot.
I think the goal is to get Apple to respond to the criticism.
Loops and Arcs
Its probably just best to look at their financials in that there is a lot of interpretation. You can look at GAAP vs. non-GAAP and trailing and forward earnings as well as a number of other things to come to a P/E. In other words they are different depending on who is running the numbers and what metrics they are using.

Probably best to come to your own conclusion...

This seems like a new sense of the phrase, which has appeared intermittently in the more bearish end of the financial reporting and opinion spectrum. It used to be a synonym of "mark to make-believe", which was one of the popular "methods" during the events leading up to the 2008 bust:

http://www.economonitor.com/blog/2009/09/mark-to-make-believ...

The new usage does seem quite an apt term to describe what's being discussed here (whether it's correct or not is obviously up for discussion.)
The URL in the OP works for me and some of the stories that show up are marked [dead].
Applying non-Unicode-compatible utilities to UTF-8 files works fine; that's why UTF-8 was invented. Adding a byte-order mark to a UTF-8 file is what causes non-Unicode-compatible utilities to stop working.
I assume it's to prevent malware (presumably installed by an enemy), not to prevent the device owner from using the hardware.

Ideally the software is installed in a way (rootkit) that can not be duplicated by remotely installed malware.
I don't know the specific "implementation details" of US Social Security; my point was that support for the elderly is necessary in general, otherwise they go back to being a burden for families, lowering their tolerance levels towards accepting the rule of law. If you plan on scaling back a certain program, you better have something else ready to replace it, or you'll feel the pain at the polls or, in the worst case, in the streets.
Genetic manipulation of humans, animals, plants: a fresh outlook
I really hope a "first year computer science student" can handle this kind of undertaking. Before having taken classes in assembly language programming, operating systems, computer architecture, programming languages, compiler construction and software project management, I could never have been able to make these kinds of commits. If this coder manages to make this port, he will really have earned my respect, before even having completed most of his undergraduate career!
I think the next innovation in search is crowd-sourced search. Users contribute directly to the index through a browser extension or somesuch. That way, you can get the site itself, how popular a site is by how many people visit it, and you also get the referrers.

I experimented with this idea about a month ago. You can grab the source here (https://github.com/SeditiousTech/Avina) and visit the index here (avina.apphb.com). It's not a real search engine per-se, but it is/was a pretty cool experiment. One of the problems is that people will forget to turn the extension off when accessing personal information (banking, porn etc).
XFCE itself is still written to be modular and lightweight (although the definition of lightweight has changed over the years). Most of its components can be installed separately with few dependencies. Distributions like Xubuntu and Fedora pile on tons of packages to fill up the CD images and present a nice, full-featured desktop to new users. After the Gnome3/Unity upgrades I switched to Xubuntu and just rip out about 50% of the packages after doing a clean install.
I had very much the opposite reaction while reading the article. Page loads on GitHub aren't especially fast (though not annoyingly slow either, I'd never really noticed the speed until I tested just now), but browsing code is almost instantaneous.

The crucial fix in ICS is that it finally provides hardware accelerated rendering of the UI. This is going to go a long way towards finally silencing the complaints about Android being slow and unresponsive.
Seems a little buggy:

"Oops! Your SOA serial number (2012041402) doesn't seem to be in the recommended format (YYYYMMDDnn - where nn is the revision number)."

Looks like it's in that format to me?
This is default behavior for the placeholder element in your browser, not an issue with this site's UI.

It seems Lion's implementation of restarting apps depends on SSD type speeds. Also a fairly fat application like a browser has an entirely different amount of work to do before it stops loading compared with the very thin media players that this BeOS demonstration would have been demoing. Apples to Oranges, but BeOS's being multi-thread-mandatory from the start where Lion's application resume was an add-on feature to mature apps will make the difference pretty glaring.
That's good to know. We've changed it to 'Why use adifyit...'. Right now if we are not confident that we have found a product match, we just don't show anything, so won't turn the site into a spamfest.

Honestly I see virtually no difference between 2.3 and 4.0 on the Galaxy S II when it comes to scrolling, etc. Indeed, if you turn on the development option that blinks the screen red when the main thread is blocked, it occurs all the time in the basic operating services and in most apps.

Which correlates with the argument made by Hackman (? Hackwell?) regarding GPU offloading not being the actual issue: Instead it's the OS still not, essentially, giving enough respect to the UI. This still isn't a solved problem, beyond simple brute-forcing it (e.g. a HTC One X).
I hope you realize that since your site is in the .com TLD, the US government says they can still seize your domain, since Verisign administers the .com TLD, and Verisign is a US company.
Nice work InformationWeek. There's nothing like reporting on a story about XSS issues and finding that you have the same issue.

Of course, InformationWeek might like to actually fix that bug. Sometime soon?
(Note: I'm not blaming anyone!)

Impressive: Firefox hold fine and rendered it, but after I opened it the second time, all the text in my system (that includes the browser, but also the terminals, Awesome, etc) was FUBAR - even after restarting the X server!

I have no idea what kind of bug leads to only the text being corrupted (so, it doesn't seem a bug in the graphic drivers, since AFAIK they're agnostic to that) but survives restarting the display manager.
