What is the "Start" in the upper left corner of all the screenshots I've seen of Windows 8. Is this a button?
Do you have any examples of massive businesses similar to Facebook changing their model to something like you suggest?
Could you enable this for all appstores? I sent a link to a family member in canada and he couldn't download it.

Generalizing this into a flight tracker while your travelling app would be pretty awesome too. You can swipe between flights like kayak's flight tracker.

Who did you use for the graphic design? Did you contract it out or are you working together?
I'd like to see some energy density numbers in units I can understand before I would jump up and down about this use.

(I'm not saying you're wrong so much as saying I can't provide evidence you're right, and I'm hoping someone else can. Or at least tell us what exactly "the heat storage capability of water" is such that something can have 4 times as much. Please hold wild-assed guesses, please, I can compute the energy difference between two temperatures of water for a given volume as well as the next guy, but what temperatures, or is that even the right question? I'm looking for someone who knows.)
Try this strategy instead of using sysctl to set individual values:
- edit /etc/sysctl.conf
- run "sysctl -p"
This doesn't make sense. They would be fully entitled to protect their IP even if they chose to distribute it exclusively from a single retail store in Topeka, Kansas.

You can provide your own hash, and a quick source check reveals that plaintext is being converted into a hash client-side, so only hashed data is being sent to the server.
Building in the business cost of unpredictable receivables isn't just a smart idea; it's part of the whole business model of consulting. This is just one of the 25+ business issues that make a consulting bill rate multiples higher than a full-time salary for the same work.
I've already removed the LinkedIn app from my phone after this morning's revelations and frankly should've done it a while ago due to the constant notifications count distraction.

As a tech professional there is no shortage of headhunter communique - and a particularly low quality/quantity ratio from LinkedIn - that simply doesn't need to take focus from anything else at my phone's reach.
I like your comment but you are confusing the issue. Your argument is that processed food is bad for you and cheaper because of production scale and I completely agree. My point is that if I take two meals and put them in front of someone, one with a red steak wrapped in bacon and vegetables and one is a hamburger and fries, I suspect most people will chose the high fat meat and veggies. However, the government has been pushing the food pyramid http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/Fpyr/pmap.htm as a school indoctrination program for as long as I can remember. As far as I can tell that hamburger fits right in with your six to 10 servings of bread a day, and they would tell you it's the bacon that is making you fat and giving you heart disease. So yes, cheaper food is worse for you generally speaking but that is about economics, not evolutionary tastes.
I do not have cable or satellite. When I want to see something, I check Amazon, Hulu, or similar places. If I can't find anyone willing to take my money in exchange for a stream, I then consider alternatives that do not involve making contracts with cable/dish companies.
Thats the beauty if a free market economy. They want to charge X to access their service, and you think it is worth Y. Since you don't agree you are free to not purchase it. Hence why piracy is illegal since it subverts this system.
I assume it means that, because it is stored in the chemical structure rather than actual heat, it's not leaking to the environment while the pellet is sitting on a shelf (if not exposed to the elements).
I spent a minute or 2 on the site and have no idea what is being offered or proposed.
'password' was actually in use - go figure.
I personally use http://hitask.com/ to keep myself on top of whatever I have to do, drag and drop plus the timer function really help me out.
Thanks guys, I didn't want to pay up front and become a sucker. This just makes me a little more careful with who we are, its hard to trust some random person with this much cash up front with no work done.

But you guys raise good points.
That was a very classy way to say "I don't want reddit to do to HN what Digg did to reddit."
What they mean is that when the Zeolite is "heated", then it can be stored indefinitely without "cooling down". If you heat water and put it in a tank, it will lose its heat relatively quickly. The Zeolite stores the energy from heat in (stable) chemical bonds, so it won't lose energy over time.
This doesn't really answer your question, but you should take a look at 99designs. Depending on your needs, it could help make finding and working with designers pretty painless. I used it because I needed a logo for a side project and I had a great experience.
Storks Deliver Babies (p = 0.008)
As awesome as they may be, they break the default Mobile Safari view for forms. Related to this, I ask honestly, why or why not should element design and usability be a responsibility of browser vendors?
Are you saying that because you heard other people say so, or because you actually believe it yourself?

https://developers.google.com/speed/articles/spdy-for-mobile

Scroll down halfway to the waterfall charts. Out of 35 requests, 31 were for static files, where there is no blocking. These are bandwidth limited so the main difference is whether they complete one at a time somewhat regularly spaced (pipeline) or interleaved (Spdy), but total throughput will be roughly the same.

For the 4 dynamically generated files the HTTP version actually finished these sooner.

"The waterfall diagrams clearly show SPDY's main advantage over HTTP: The use of out-of-order responses. ... [vs HTTP] handling requests in a FIFO fashion".

Oh really? More like the diagram clearly shows they weren't using pipelining. If they had been using pipelining then requests would have been sent immediately instead of blocking. The bars would be blue, with more variety of length but averaging to the same as for Spdy (as clearly this case was bandwidth limited).

To put this into context, they replaced the Android browser that did do pipelining with Chrome and then post a comparison of Spdy vs no pipelining. Seriously ask yourself why they compared Spdy to non-pipelining HTTP to trumpet their +23% claims when they were previously using pipelining. My hunch is they are just lazy and disengenuous... or are they purposely pushing Spdy, or are they incapable of believing Google doesn't produce the best at everything?

I don't know what Google's motivation is with Spdy, but the claims they make are just absurd. The actual real-world problems with pipelining are that some server/proxy software borks it up.
How about submitting the hashes over https, at the very least somebody could be sniffing the traffic from your site and gathering the hash list for themselves..
I hope you're right. I think this is the best argument for their actions to date.
Flame malware collision attack explained
I think a significant amount. My sample is biased, I know a bunch of very active people in SF, but I'm not sure anyone I interact with weekly has cable or satellite.
Oh, Ok, I get it, by offline they mean raw data and a client-side rendering library. That is a nice improvement, but I would have to assume, this does not include satellite imagery then. Come to think of it, I'd be amazed if Apple's map announcements next week don't include similar capability.
As someone who works (not in IT) at a government-owned BigCo (2000 employees), let me tell you: building the software that will solve our problems will be the easy part. Navigating the bureaucracy of BigCo's procurement processes will probably take you more time, skill and money than actually building the product.

And it's not enough to have a product that solves a problem. BigCo never fixes things all at once. So whatever your product is, it'll have to work with innumerable poorly-documented legacy systems. Integrating with BigCo's existing, proprietary systems might take longer than developing the core of your actual product.

But the upshot is that BigCos are used to dealing with BigSoftwareCo that is just as slow and unresponsive in its development processes as BigCo itself. BigSoftwareCo doesn't want to fix our problems, they want to sell us an off-the-shelf product at a price tag that implies thousands of hours of dev work. So if you can show them that you can accommodate their needs quickly and without the usual obstructionism, technology dogmatism and nickel-and-dime-ing practices of BigSoftwareCo, there's definitely an opportunity to build a great relationship.
Certainly, I may be wrong, but Windows 8 could be a wild success. Currently, there are no good tablets in the enterprise market that allow users both to read and edit documents. Windows 8 gives tablet users access to programs like Excel and PowerPoint with exactly the same level of functionality as they would on a full-fledged desktop PC. This could be a godsend for knowledge workers whose tasks really only require the computing power of a tablet, letting them forgo purchasing a more pricey laptop or desktop.

Also, promoting Javascript and HTML5 as first-class citizens in the Windows 8 environment opens the door to native app development for a massive population of web developers, which is a huge event in software engineering. Web devs will be able to create the same kinds of dynamic UIs with web connectivity as they always have but with the added bonus of file system, GPU, and other kinds of OS access. As a web dev, I'm stoked.

Yes, Microsoft is heavily favoring touch interaction at the expense of the mouse and keyboard interface. It does indeed seem like the unforgiving interface is meant to push touch screen sales, but if people adopt touch screen devices as much as Microsoft is betting, then Windows 8 will be a huge hit. Despite the mouse and keyboard UX, I say kudos to MSFT for trying to advance human-computer interaction beyond the status quo since 1963.
How To Exclude Posts From Wordpress Search
Depending on your product you might be able to sell to small and medium businesses as well to keep you going/gain momentum before you break into the enterprise market. Github is a good example of that.
My old password was in the password file, and it was flagged as cracked.

If you're a Windows user and you want to check if your password is in the file.

(1) download the passwords file from http://www.mediafire.com/?n307hutksjstow3
(2) the download is a RAR file, so you'll need to have WinRAR installed to extract it.
(3) to get the sha1 version of your password, go to duckduckgo.com and type:
sha1 yourpassword
(4) copy the result, except for the first 6 or so characters
(5) open a DOS command prompt (WindowsKey+R and type CMD)
(6) type (quotes required where indicated): find "sha1hash" sha1.txt
(note: to paste to the command prompt is right-click)

Example:

The sha1 hash of the password 'password' is: 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
Remove first six characters: e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
enter at command prompt: find "e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8" sha1.txt
result:
---------- SHA1.TXT
000001e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
Why not exactly? Is basically decent heat storage and transfer with fairly low losses and minimal decay. Silos of these seem perfect for solar.

Admittedly the big question, if you were going to rely on it, is whether there is enough zeolite globally to scale to the terawatt-hour range.
You can supply just your password hash if you want, and if you supply the raw password, it's hashed client-side via Javascript before being sent to the server. Test it out with firebug and a dummy password if you're not keen on wading through the source.
Under the known bugs and issues:

History file should apply some kind of maximum history length

Fine, but the default needs to be large, like 100MB. Disks are big now. I hope ridiculousfish agrees.
Do you think there are more people who like screwing over freelancers or more freelancers that are screwing over companies?

I've heard horror stories on both sides.
I think the idea was that those people are willing to pay directly for the show, as opposed to paying for a subscription.
I agree, but unlike the weird ownership issues that come with, say, copyrights and boxed software, this is a case where I quite literally still own something, and I'm letting someone use it for a fee. Laws put all kinds of restrictions on me, but some decisions on how my property is used still stay mine.
Looks great but I am outside the US and use Android.
Object-oriented languages influence graph
I assume that the "hidden meaning" was supposed to be a moral for the edification of the children (Think of the children! <sob>).

The idea that all stories must have a moral in order to be legitimate is modern. Conventional wisdom gets in a self-righteous huff over how the different Inquisitions censored books. It would surprise modern people to see what books those old-time moral guardians did not censor.

Daphnis and Chloë, by Longus, has a frank scene where a married woman teaches a teenaged boy how to have sex. It was first translated into a modern vernacular by a Catholic bishop and was considered a perfectly good book for teenaged girls.

The Metamorphoses of Apuleius—better known as The Golden Ass—is the oldest extant novel. It contains explicit scenes of adultery and pagan worship. St. Augustine of Hippo, the greatest of the Western Fathers of the Church, cited that novel as a partial inspiration for his own work, The City of God. None of his contemporaries faulted him for this.

I'm going by memory, so I don't have citations for some of the above claims. I have a few ideas about the origin of the modern mentality of "every story must have a moral." Those ideas center around the rise of Calvinism on the Protestant side and the rise of Jansenism on the Catholic side of Europe.
I see 30 minutes of dead air on that video.

Devil's advocate: Are we sure these studies aren't somehow paid for by the coffee industry?
Or prompt for it:

grep `read -sp "password: "; echo "$REPLY" | tr -d "\n" | shasum | cut -c6-40` hacked.txt
It was about a year ago now. I checked the hashes for my previous password and it wasn't on the list... Mind you, as many have noticed, it seems to be very incomplete.
Coffee also apparently prevents prostate cancer to some degree too: http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/news/20110517/coffee-ma...

When I try to sign up in Chrome on Mac it just refreshes the page. No errors in the debug console.
Seems foolish for them to have posted this. It's not very good advice on choosing a password and feels like the wrong response to the story about passwords apparently having been leaked.
Thanks for the link. How does company/organization name work when one doesn't have an LLC or anything else "official"? Perhaps one can just use their name.
A 0-0 record is an undefeated record
I love that flying animation with the parallax clouds.
You're confusing "not on the list" with "not in the hacker's possession".
Even if you don't check the source code to verify that it's harmless, you should assume your password has been compromised and have already changed it anyway. This just lowers the cost of checking the list and could help us learn more about the compromise.
Google Finally Takes A Clear Stance On Mobile SEO Practices
You seem to be continuing to impute arguments to me that I am not making. No, I don't particularly think that AirBNB is especially problematic, I think the entire "genre" of business faces the same problems. None of them are the sort of little issue we don't have to worry about, they're all worth talking about (and, alas, probably litigating and legislating about).
hmm, searching for "Whitebeard - No we can't" didn't list me the video that actually exists at Youtube.
I'm on a Lenovo T420s, it's a pretty solid machine. This is my first ThinkPad and I really love the screen resolution and the feeling with the keyboard, the keys are just amazing and if you are a developer I think this is one of the most important features. I oned a MacBook (the white and cheap one) and an iBook, but the "physicity" of this laptop is really good.
Moreover you have 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 that you cannot find on an Apple product.

I'm using it with Fedora 17, everything works pretty well but you need some tweaking to optimize the power consumption while on battery.
Sure, agreed. But it is reasonable to assume from this that HBO considers whatever losses it is suffering from piracy to be acceptable in some sense, or at least preferable to selling their shows online, which is interesting in its own right.
This is exactly why I think its weird that designers are charging upfront, I don't think there is a legitimate way to estimate how much time a project is going to take upfront since there will be a lot of iterations and changes and we may not agree on how it should be done.

It would be much easier to pay for hours worked than to have to request a refund on the extra left over if we decided to part ways or anything like that.
Just change your password before checking. You should've had already, anyway.
Hi, OP here: When I say optimise for enjoyment, there is a distinction between ease & enjoyment. If something is easy, it's not enjoyable: think watching hours of TV. If you stop during your run, that is easy, but less enjoyable. If ever the ran became hard I stopped. It generally only did so when I was up near maximum heart rate or had already been running for longer than I had before.

How you enjoy it is up to you. Personally I like to find some trails or somewhere I am curious about exploring and then find out what is over the next hill. I enjoy it like I enjoy music or coffee.

Just so you know, I am not one of those slender runners (92kg, 6ft2).

The best way to keep running is to enjoy running: concentrate and optimise for that, beyond any other goal.
I'm not talking about self justification here, i'm talking about business and politics. Lately the entertainment industry has been campaigning for government intervention to clamp down on the internet because content producers can't make enough money because of piracy. To me, this argument clearly states that they believe they make more money from a premium price with a restricted supply that encourages piracy than they would from an easily available product that would reduce piracy. I am perfectly fine with them making this business decision. However, as a citizen who would like to have as little government intervention as possible while still protecting functioning markets, I see no problem here and don't want to hear about how they need government intervention to prevent content creators like them from going out of business.
Bing Webmaster Tools - New Features, Tools
Google maps now charge, don't they? Or is it just to volume users? I mean if FB has a monopoly, they can do anything they want. They can limit their free service to 45 mins per month or <250 friends. I personally think if they are passing off information to government, then gov will bankroll them to some extent for favors. Collusion? That's just a loaded word, it's all business in the end.

add: more likely they'll just package up some enterprise plan for Fortune 100/500 companies with special analytics, features, etc by building around a set of their most requested features from such companies.
"Your password was leaked and cracked. Sorry, friend."

Well that's lovely. Just changed my LinkedIn password so hopefully no one had a chance to take advantage of that. Luckily I very recently switched to a new password scheme so my other accounts should be secure too.
A facelift for our disaster relief service
Yep. At today's event they revealed the polished version of the feature, which lets you define the area to cache by hand, and provides a formal UI for managing your cached areas and telling you how much data it will require. Here's the demo:

People tend to treat CC licensed stuff very fuzzily.
Once I was reading an article on copyright and using CC licensed material. It was a well written piece, yet image at the top was violating CC license(!). It was a crop from 'no-derivatives' licensed image. How come? I tried to push a kind comment raising the issue. You guessed it, it didnt come through.

If I ever try to use a copyrighted image which is not directly for sale ('Its so lovely, its the only option'), I'll usually email the person. It ends with two or three warm emails and best wishes. Is it that hard? Sure not a way to go for TNW (choosing CC is faster and problem free for them).

Using CC'd stuff I will often find myself finding how a person would prefer to be attributed. For example, if the user has a full name on flickr (different from a nick), I will rather use the full name and not the nick.

Recently I even started adding 'Thnxx!' or something similar.
Leaving this here in case it helps someone:

In Firebug, you can ask the :hover state to stay active.

1. HTML tab
2. Click on the element
3. Style menu on the right panel
4. choose :hover

It tricks the browser into thinking the mouse is really over the element (i.e., it doesn't just add :hover), so if you have a hover class added via JS that should work too.

(Apparently this feature has been there for a long time, but I only found it recently. Changed my Firebug life.)
Obama’s Kill List and New Phase of American Foreign Policy
I've seen a couple step changes in the quality of results and they are usually from people that have immersed themselves in current methods, identified the problems with the current methods, then stepped back 100 meters to try to reason about the problem in a different way.

Unlike, say, selling something online, machine learning has strong underpinnings in mathematics. You do really need to stand on the shoulders of giants in order to move the needle forward. It is more in common with building a bridge than it is with coming up with something revolutionary like renting dvds through the mail instead of a brick and mortar store.

Imagine a bridge building contest where the goal was to something that could take a train across a river. I should hope someone coming along and suggesting the rough concepts to an aspiring bridge builder would be lauded. "If you use suspension, be sure to check for systemic wind loads" "Don't forget about the foundations at the end of the bridge" and "If you use concrete, remember to give the concrete enough cover over the reinforcing steel bars so that it doesn't become unsightly" are all good pieces of advice that someone should know.

Now, once you learn the basics and can do what has already been done - absolutely push the field forward.
CSS, the art instructor
yipes - apparently that site sends up an unsalted sha1 of your password. If leaked unsalted sha1s are worth being worried about, then typing your password into this site is just as bad as the original leak
