Doesn't that mean they actually start grabbing the photos before really getting permission from the user?

Surely they probably got it covered in the Terms, but it still strikes me as playing slightly dirty..

So Instagram has photos I don't click "upload" on. Well that's nice to know.

Edit: So I tried to use a proxy on my phone but it looks like Instragram on Android doesn't honour the wireless proxy server. Anyone else want to do some digging?

I think perhaps it gets solved faster than if one person was trying, but you're putting 4 work-seconds into every real second of time. Sure there are some overheads while others work out what the first person to solve the problem is doing, but once one person has solved it and put their block into place, most of the time it becomes obvious.

How much does the storage subsystem cost?

15x 146G SAS spindles are included with the price.

You know the whole stack of fully redundant iSCSI/FC kit behind it?

Why, yes? We do run a FC fabric and various DAS boxes for various purposes, but not on the DB servers.

I'm not sure what you're arguing about here, the figures (labor vs hardware cost) are not even in the same ballpark.

As a rule of thumb: If a piece of gear can save your team 1 month of work then it usually pays for itself.

It's not just a clock, but an ever changing installation that will always need the labor of those men constantly rebuilding it, to keep "running". I find it quite interesting, as an idea. Implementation could be better, I guess, but it provokes some interesting associations and thoughts. Which is, I think, one of the definition of art. To capture an idea or emotion, to reproduce and communicate an experience. Not just a picture.

Of course, it's valid to say that it doesn't work for you, or even that it can't work for anyone, because it's plain stupid. Like so many garbage art out there.

I remember similar things being said in the 90s. We'd all be be ditching Windows and running internet appliances and doing everything via the web and Java applets.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that similar predictions haven't panned out in the past.
The most interesting thing to me about each of these little episodes is how Linus, by creating the brilliant Linux kernel, is lauded as a sort-of-oracle when giving his opinion about very non-kernel things. I quite like the simple, opinionated approach to Gnome and Unity but my opinion (and others who may agree with me) matters somehow less because I didn't create this great thing that has nothing to do with UI design philosophy.

I guess that's the true value of geek cred.
A little devil's avocate: Isn't Instagram primarily a photo sharing app? I'm not sure why people are complaining that it starts the upload on filter completion.

My only question is how long are photos not marked as user initiated uploads kept?

True. But there's a disconnect between the common person's understanding of the process and what's happening. It matters because it's user content.

Why Pay-Per-Click Ads Are Wasting Your Money
I had a falling out with Turntable.fm for the following reasons:

- Too distracting. I used it most when I was working to have music on in the background, but if I wanted to participate I was constantly tending to my playlist. Not sure how to fix something like this.

- No way to explore music outside of going into rooms. It would have been great if they had a "Top 200" tracks or a way to browse genres (just add in an option when you create a room to select a genre and have other for the fringe categories).

- Saving music sucked. Yes, I could save stuff to other services, but the experience of doing so was daunting. For example, I love Last.FM, but taking me to the song page of the track that's playing on Last.FM is pretty weak. Why not stronger API integration? I heard a lot of music that I would have loved to put into a list, but the functionality wasn't there.

- Becoming a DJ in any room with a decent crowd was damn near impossible. People would hover over their mouse to get that coveted slot. If I started my own room, you'd only get a handful of people to come in. The point here I guess is that it would have been nice to have some better promotional tools so people could discover different stuff. Sorry, but I don't want to listen to dubstep all day. Woh woh woh wee woh.

Easy fix: fix your features and add in some cool stuff. Send me an email or two telling me to check out something useful (not "we added in Facebook!"). I'd come back in a heartbeat if some of the stuff above was fixed.

If you don't select upload then they can either stop the process if the photo hasn't been uploaded yet OR if its complete then they can send a signal and delete a photo.

But yeah its waste of bandwidth for the user if he decides against uploading the photo.

Here's some napkin math on the black hole argument. Information is essentially equivalent to entropy: the entropy S = k * log M, where k is Boltzmann's constant and log M is the number of bits encoding the information. Now, it turns out to be fundamentally impossible to store more entropy in any region of space than would be contained in a black hole of the same size: S_max = (k A c^3)/(4 G hbar), where A is the "surface area" of the region, c is the speed of light, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and hbar is Planck's constant. That means the maximum number of bits of information in a region of space is (A c^3)/(4 G hbar), or about A * (10^69 1/m^2). Our solar system is maybe 1 light year in size: about 10^16 m, so its "surface area" is 4pi r^2 ~ 10^33 m^2. That means that the solar system can hold at most 10^102 bits of information.

If Moore's law says that computer memory doubles in capacity every 2 years, then they'll go up by a factor of 1000 about every 20 years. We currently have computers that hold about 10^12 bits of information, so just 90*20 = 1800 years would get up to that absolute limit, regardless of what technology we used, unless our single computer was bigger than a light year in radius.
After insane development cycle, online game TERA finally poised for launch
It should have been named "Comparing Rails with Yesod". Even though other dynamic languages are somewhat similar to ruby, it's hard to say that haskell is just another statically typed language. Inclusion of other languages and frameworks would have really improved this talk.
Scala might be an option for you. It is not as "stable" as Java, but more like C# and it actually has a real "deprecation cycle", e. g. stuff gets removed after two versions, both in the language and the library. Pace of development is actually really impressive. If you are interested, I wrote down some nodes about the keynote at ScalaDays here: http://hackerne.ws/item?id=3912885
The World of Lost Smartphones - INFOGRAPHICS
Hate to be mean, but this is just waxing poetic over the basics. Author is comparing syntax, froth; no actual productive parts of web development is discussed.

I have written web apps in Common Lisp for 2-3 years, and in Java (with Play! Framework) for a year now: routes, templates and form submission are the most standardized parts of all framworks. My Lisp code to do those things is identical to the way it's done in Java.

If you want to compare web frameworks start by comparing their database & Model substrates: ORM, migrations, validation .. those are where you will become unstuck. (if you don't consider those an integral part of the web-framework, then we haven nothing to discuss, pedal your big-wheel away)

Queue banning of VPNs in 3....2....1.....

There is evidence of links to terrorism. Well, VPN is 3 letters and so is IRA, ETA and RAF so thats a link. Better throw child pornography and drug smuggling in there as well
That sounds really nasty. I wonder what the intrinsic issue is?
That would be the responsible way to do it, surely, although they should still mention it in the TOS.
The user does explicitly either take the photo inside the Instagram app or select it. Note that the final button that published the photo to the user’s stream is labeled Done, not Upload. They don’t just arbitrarily upload photos from the camera roll or from the camera before the user has tapped the camera shutter button.

EDIT: And as others have pointed out, photos are only uploaded after the user has selected a filter and tapped the green check mark, not as soon as they are taken.

Yahoo rips Facebook patent-lawsuit strategy
Not in most of America. Maybe the Valley or NYC. But in places like Florida, where Comcast (the biggest carrier) drops when thunderstorm roll by good luck.

And business... pushing all your data to the cloud is a mistake. For many reasons such as; security. Look there is no way I'm putting sensitive data, like accounting, patient information, (etc) in the cloud. It's just not worth the risk or the lawsuit.

Also, I know a guy who owns a gym. Was talked into a "hosted cash register". BIG MISTAKE. After the install, a week later early morning storm rolls in from the ocean. His power flips (a common thing in South Florida). But his Comcast never came back online. He was down (and out of business) for 4 hours. Personally though, I enjoyed hearing his plight. He's a cheap sob.

Some of you might say, that is what he deserves for relying on Comcast. Fine. But what small business you know it gonna go through the expense of a T1/3 or fiber? That $29.99 a month cash register just became $300+ a month. Lovely.

My point: out in the real world (in America) the infrastructure is barely stable. Until the carries seriouslly invest (and I doubt they ever will since they only provide exactly what they have too - I don't even want to get started on our TERRIBLE cell service in this country) in their networks, the "cloud" will be a site you share pictures of your dog.
Good, it's half-assed anyway. VPNs aren't a solution to the problem the Internet faces, total systemic invulnerability to censorship is.
It's not a valid choice for anything that actually uses unicode. E.g. if I have functions caféHide() and caféShow() I expect them to be next to each other. I think Java should perhaps have required symbol names to be ASCII, but it doesn't and Java tools should deal with this.
Gmail used to do that with their attachment. You choose the attachment, and it silently starts to upload. Most applications wait for you to hit "Send" to start uploading.
It's probably also because we find him 'interesting' (whatever that means). I give my opinion too but it doesn't really matter. :)

>The fact of the matter is that Linux is confusing to users ('distributions'? 'desktop environments'? and that's just the start)

I was doing this for a very non-technical user. All I said was that Ubuntu was like Windows but free. Nothing confusing about that (from their reaction).

>there is very little software for it (relative to what is available for Windows)

Yes and no. Games are a big problem. For most tasks that most users perform, there's a web browser, email client and an office suite. Applications moving to the web only helps with this. Bespoke software which manages a warehouse's stock we don't really care about in this context.

>a moving target (both for users and developers - radical changes in UI from one year to the next, libraries that aren't ABI stable for a year let alone 2 decades)

I agree. Distributions should take more care with this or desktop environment developers should call their new DE something completely different and not make the look like a replacement but rather a competitor. Then again, installing an LTS release should keep a person happy for a couple of years. After that, if they're not a power user, there may be little to no benefit in upgrading to the newest release.

>it's too hard (approaching impossible) to make real money from Linux software.

Tell that to: Sun (hah, great example), RedHat, Google, Apple, the countless software agencies developing on an OSS stack, all the businesses in the world running on a network backbone mostly composed of open software and all the research projects using fancy supercomputers running on Linux. Almost everyone uses Linux in one way or another and almost everyone makes money. Redhat is proof that you can directly use Linux to build a billion dollar business. It's a young business model, but it works well.

I think a lot of people are missing the point of what Linus is saying somewhat.

He's really just addressing the elephant in the room by saying that as of yet the whole open source desktop mess has failed to produce anything that looks like a compelling , easy to use desktop.

If Google can produce a Linux based operating system that addresses the needs of casual users and power users/technophiles (like Linus) and get it on enough hardware (i.e not just netbooks but "serious" desktops as well) then they can (combined with android) simply eat everyone elses lunch.

What is not so important necessarily is whether or not local storage or local apps will "go away" but that Google understands that a modern OS needs to treat "the cloud", i.e webapps , online storage , social networks as first class citizens inside the OS. This is a metaphor that is missing (in a really intuitive form) mostly from even new OSes like Windows 8.

Hard disks are not dead, but I think the idea of having C:\Program Files\.. is.
Even as a technical user myself the directory hierarchy is mostly just an abstraction that gets in my way. My work (i.e source code) is in git, my games are in Steam, my email is at google , my music on Spotify and all the "other stuff" is in dropbox.

What I need is an OS that ties all of these things together seamless regardless of whether the bytes themselves reside on the disk inside my computer or on some website somewhere but can provide sufficient tools when needed to fix leaky abstractions.

Let's suppose you could buy a new workstation soon that ran a nice clean Chrome OS desktop but had sufficient memory and hardware level virtualization that simply clipping in a "proper" Linux or all the MS libraries such as DirectX that you needed to run Windows apps was a trivial activity that could be abstracted away from the end user if required. Would you not be curious to buy one?

Pengobatan Kanker Usus Secara Alami
Pengobatan Kanker Usus Secara Alami bukan hanya pengobatan biasa tapi Pengobatan Kanker Usus Secara Alami adalah pengobatan yang benar-benar alami dan aman di konsumsi untuk menjaga stamina dan mencegah berbagai penyakit.

Apakah anda tau apa kanker usus itu?
Usus besar adalah bagian dari sistem pencernaan (digestive system) dimana materi yang dibuang (sampah) disimpan. Rektum (rectum) adalah ujung dari usus besar dekat dubur (anus). Bersama, mereka membentuk suatu pipa panjang yang berotot yang disebut usus besar. Tumor-tumor usus besar dan rektum adalah pertumbuhan-pertumbuhan yang datangnya dari dinding dalam dari usus besar. Tumor-tumor ramah dari usus besar disebut polip-polip (polyps). Tumor-tumor ganas dari usus besar disebut kanker-kanker. Polip-polip ramah tidak menyerang jaringan yang berdekatan dengannya atau menyebar ke bagian-bagian lain tubuh. Polip-polip ramah dapat diangkat dengan mudah sewaktu colonoscopy dan adalah bukan ancaman nyawa. Jika polip-polip ramah tidak diangkat dari usus besar, mereka dapat menjadi ganas (bersifat kanker) melalui waktu. Kebanyakan dari kanker-kanker usus besar dipercayai telah berkembang dari polip-polip. Kanker usus besar dan rektum, juga dirujuk sebagai kanker kolorektal ( colorectal cancer), dapat menyerang dan merusak jaringan-jaringan dan organ-organ yang berdekatan. Sel-sel kanker juga dapat pecah dan keluar dan menyebar pada bagian-bagian lain tubuh (seperti hati dan paru-paru) dimana tumor-tumor baru terbentuk. Penyebaran kanker usus besar ke organ-organ yang terletak jauh darinya disebut metastasis dari kanker usus besar. Sekali metastasis telah terjadi pada kanker kolorektal (colorectal cancer), suatu penyembuhan yang penuh dari kanker adalah tidak mungkin.
Secara global, kanker usus besar dan rektum adalah penyebab pemimpin ketiga dari kanker pada pria-pria dan penyebab pemimpin keempat dari kanker pada wanita-wanita. Frekwensi dari kanker koloretal bervariasi diseluruh dunia. Ia adalah umum di dunia barat dan adalah jarang di Asia dan Africa. Di negara-negara dimana orang-orang telah mengadopsi diet-diet barat, kejadian dari kanker kolorektal meningkat.

Almost all my traffic goes over a VPN these days. I don't do any file sharing, but I just don't want my ISP keeping tabs on me. (Yes, yes, I know, a VPN ISP can keep track too) It's so easy (and cheap) to set up a VPN or SSH tunnel with your own server (or servers). My favorite site for finding a cheap provider is www.lowendbox.com or www.lowendstock.com.

I have several VPN/SSH servers around the world for an average of $20-$25 per year.
