This is a known issue with Chrome. See: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94369

The best way to circumvent the issue is to prevent the browser from caching the request (ex. cache busting via random querystring parameters), or to use different URLs for the HTML and JSON response (ex. appending '.json' to the end of the path).
I don't think we know the implications of drone aircraft used by local police forces. Not knowing should not take it off the table, it should rather require oversight to make sure the populace agrees with their mission, if the mission were to change.

On the one hand, it could save municipalities money by affording a more effective police force. As mentioned earlier, this is an extension of what agencies do now --except that they'd be unpersonned. On the other hand, what are the implications if they were to arm these drones with some kind of lethal force?

I think if they were limited to reconnaissance, search (maybe not rescue), aiding in enforcement of law, I don't see how drones become automatically off-limits.

I'm probably missing something, but those are my thoughts now.
It's called "delivery fee", not "delivery cost". It makes no sense to require a business to charge fees solely based on variable costs.
"point and shoot"?
How will this compare to the Square Kilometer Array?

RMS is pretty brilliant, he's predicted exactly the kind of closed platform iOS turned out to be, and has been fighting against it. I think it's important that people be allowed to code and mess with their devices, and know what their devices are doing. How is it that so many iOS apps grab your contacts without asking?

Before I stray too far from my point; I am glad he does what he does.
yeah it's a pretty amazing hack. I believe the guy who wrote it is a university student from russia(who also found other holes in chrome) so for him the $60k will go quite a bit further then for some one else and the prestige/job offers associated with it will go even further then that.

When the event was going on, another group called vupen(french company that deals in selling 0day exploits to govts) that found a hole in chrome during that contest refused to give up their method, when offered $120k instead of $60 and their ceo half jokingly said he might give it up for the entire million dollars worth of prizes google was offering
Yeah, right. Now tell me how I can legally download Pinky&Brain, or "28 days later" from Poland.

I know that from U.S. perspective it's all fine & dandy, with Hulu & Netflix letting you access movies, but most of the world has no reasonable access to a fair share of media.

Secondly, without piracy pushing for easier access, even U.S. wouldn't have legal means of downloading the movies. Hence the positive sentiment. It's sites like Movies.io that are pushing for easier access to the movies on the Internet.

Finally, the copyright establishment doesn't look at what's moral (see their support for SOPA/ACTA), they only look at what's legal. Any reason we shouldn't do the same?

Also, notice that while a sentiment towards sharing "Avengers" is "yay", a sentiment towards sharing indie artists' drm-free creations is "no" (Louis C.K case).
Also noticed this bug and wanted to mention it in case it wasn't just myself.
I agree that these urls would be a target for exploits; an obvious place to target.
I even guessed that this change to 'unreachables' was part of closing the security hole: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3686730
Yeah, this seems likely. Here's how I'd do it: create a webapp similar to this one to show to your Turkers. The difference would be that it would show an image at random, and the Turker would decide whether or not someone is pointing in the image, and if so they would click where the person was pointing. For each image, take the mean position of mouseclicks. This becomes a seed for the Voronoi diagram.

You can tell he/she "cheated" a bit for some the parts of the canvas that didn't get many seeds. For example, if you move your mouse within one of the large cells in the bottom left, the image just moves to keep up with the pointer. :P
Noticed this as well. Throw this in your JS file somewhere:

$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
the problem is when the do nothing.

Quora has extremely intelligent people with a huge variety of experience in all matters. This question looks like broad experience would help to answer it, which is why I recommend it. Just make an account and ask the question anonymously, you will get a great answer

IMO this should be your strategy - this company is shit so you have nothing to lose. More importantly, your efforts alone won't make much of an impact in the long run (and if they do, you have no equity and you hate the company, so who cares). So take shitloads of risks at work trying to understand how to be a leader/get better at socializing. Keep the actual work light so you can spend time outside of work actively looking for other companies, working on side projects - exploring your options. I guess the overarching theme is - if your efforts there are wasted, put less effort into it. You can spend very little time actually doing work and use it as a way to pay the bills while you explore your options.
You are correct and that is unfortunate. For what it's worth, I purchased a copy of Lion.
IOS 6 vs. Ice Cream Sandwich: The Ultimate Comparison
Mobile operators spend a lot of management cycles trying to figure out how to avoid becoming 'dumb pipes' like their broadband counterparts.

They know they have unique infrastructure capabilities and, to their credit, want to create additional value to end-users. In conjunction with their current purchasing power and influence over hardware vendors, forward-looking mobile carriers can definitely view B2G as a possible competitive edge if they can figure out how to bring one to market in the most cost-effective (read: cheapest and least disruptive) way possible.

It's a breath of fresh air considering the capabilities and branding that Mozilla has. I would love to be a fly on the wall in those discussions.
Scientists communicate and leave archive quality research by way of publications. Anyone can "do" science, but I think it is a bit unfair to arbitrarily level-up smart people to the same level as those that go through years of training?

The lab techs that do scientific testing under the direction of a PI, they do science, right? Does that mean we need to relabel their badges to Scientist?
It is. From the article: "The mintBox is a CompuLab fit-PC3 unit, with a green retro-lit Linux Mint logo, and 10% of each sale goes towards Linux Mint."

I think a product like this is a great idea for a Linux distro.
What they're doing is charging one fee based on price and an additional fee based on file size. This separates the incentives for the publisher, which makes sense.

It's also worth noting that his book is large compared to your average novel. He clocks in around 17.6 megabytes, whereas even a giant novel like Game Of Thrones is only 3.3 megabytes. Hunger Games is a paltry 0.5 megabytes.
Nerd Appeal!

I heard RMS speak at a college even here in Bangalore. It was like listening to a Saint. Somebody like Buddha of software. He has a unique appeal which big achievers build around themselves. That sort of a calm confidence comes only through relentless belief one's principles and proven success demonstrating his principles.

Outside of nerd circles, this doesn't have much appeal.
Great catch, I'll fix it... The reason is that it uses the same URL for a regular HTTP request and a XMLHttpRequest...

I'm curious: what do you see as the advantage of Ubuntu over Mint? My understanding is that Mint is just Ubuntu with a different default desktop environment and some multimedia codecs.

Do you just like Unity? (For what it's worth, I actually like it as well.)
Playing for high stakes under pressure has the constant risk of mental error
Yeah, I get that--in crisis mode, a playbook is almost required to make sure you make no missteps as someone in charge. This is pivotal in, say, security incident response, or a corporate setting where there are all kinds of legal issues, but at a conference, which is mostly among friends, I don't know. Maybe if you can appropriately genericize the policy, but most of the policies I've seen have almost unilaterally been specifically tailored to protect women (which is great, for me--but maybe not for others who are being singled out). Or they'll talk about "feeling safe."

But, you know, when that guy walked up to me when I was talking to my (male) colleagues and specifically singled me out to ask that I allow him to photograph my "tits" as part of a conference "scavenger hunt," I told him off. Then he came back, and I told him off again. I never felt "unsafe," just angry and humiliated. If you're looking at "reporting someone if you feel fear," then it's likely that poor guy had a high possibility of being the one reporting it had he come back a third time.

tl;dr: Most of these policies make women and minorities out to be victims vs. ensuring that people just treat each other with common decency and respect. Not a fan of singling any of us out and I don't think it's productive.
good to know, thanks for sharing
Of course not everyone would agree with me that it is banal, but I have read a number of them I've seen linked here and there, including the above. I didn't find any of them particularly amusing. Nor did I like the artwork.
This looks really cool, the world needs more stuff like this.

One minor complaint is with the scrollable slide-outs. When you scroll down through a slide-out like the Instagram one, and reach the bottom, the page behind starts scrolling.

This is a common problem, and why I dislike using scrollable areas on web pages in the first place. There must be a good way to fix this. I just don't want the outside area to scroll when my context is inside the small scrollable area.
> the result: an idle 7w power consumption (with wi-fi on). that's roughly the same power consumption i get from the macbook air, which is an ULV chipset. battery life for windows on my T420 is ~10 hrs. with linux,...~12hrs.

That's pretty sweet. Any chance you could post that script on Github? I've been tweaking my linux laptop power settings too and would love to take a look at it.
I'm saying that the love you have for your current child is the same (relatively speaking) that you'd have for future children.

I understand what you're saying but I guess I disagree that it matters. For example, if you want to have a child to experience the type of love we're talking about then you have a child.

No one's to say someone else shouldn't have a child and thus not experience that kind of love. That's really the point I was trying to make.
Fair enough...

The reason for good/bad developer statements is to help developers ares they'd like to improve at. And yes, this is a very subjective view of the developers I'd like to work with.
While I did try to be compatible with TextMate key bindings where possible, I believe only a handful of the key bindings mentioned in the article are actually common between the two.

I did not find it trivial to remove the package, and changing my default provider didn't work for whatever reason.
It's at specific widths. I've seen other responsive sites behave like this and I presume it's just something with the media queries in the style sheet. If you continue to narrow your browser you'll see that it does respond correctly.
having to "get used to" something means its not natural in the first place! Otherwise, you'd already be "used to it".
I find ethernet ports on laptops to be the most annoying port ever, since the ethernet plug is not robust at all. They break very quickly and you're left with an intermittent connection. If I use a laptop that I move a lot, I'll either use a docking station for the ethernet (thinkpad docking stations aren't so bad) or use usb (because the plug is so resilient). Now with being able to use thunderbolt I have another option that won't break so easily.
I tried Mint for the same reason, and this search default really soured me on it. I didn't find it easy to remove, either. Just wanted to warn others.
I stumbled upon this http://enterprisedb.com/cloud-database recently which may be of interest. Haven't tried it myself though.
Gee, drivers hate the idea of having to actually pay a market rate for a scarce resource? Who would have guessed.
Agreed. I hated browsing the web on the iPad one because it could only hold one tab loaded at a time, and refresh the others when you moved between them.
iPad 3, sorry, 'new iPad' is vastly improved. iPad 1 is now kid's iPad: iView & jigsaw puzzles. :)
It is a source of funding, which would be fine with me, but it was also basically unusable, and it would give me weird results that I didn't get on regular Google. I also had a bit of trouble removing it. So bad experience for me overall.

Edit: no, they weren't so sinister as to install it with another package, it's part of the Firefox extensions in the default install.
Here's what I get when doing a search for "camera" from the iPhone AppStore:

Camera+, Camera ∞, Socialcam Video Camera, Camera!!, Camera, Camera ®, "Camera,", Camera.., CamWow: Free photo ..., Camera-, Instagram, CamWow Retro, 8mm Vintage Camera, Facebook Camera, ...

Notice how far down Facebook Camera is currently on this list.

Edit: I realize that the screenshot on the website shows the search order among installed apps, but I think this may be relevant, too.

I don't know: can I use a thunderbolt port to chain monitors?

About the dongles: in my use I usually take the laptop to the same places all the time, so I just buy the right cable (here it would be a thunderbolt -> hdmi cable i guess). If I go to random places where I need to hook up to a monitor I won't know whether they'll have a hdmi cable just as much as I don't know if they'll have a thunderbolt cable, so I need to carry a cable anyways. What's the difference whether it's a hdmi-hdmi or thunderbolt-hdmi cable? They're likely to have DVI or DP anyway, so you still need to take the dongles with you.
this is what i want to do: shorten links, share products and earn rewards. the current ui is beginning to feel like a shopping site. kinda like amazon divorced ebay, married bitly and is having an affair with pinterest.
I know, but I wanted Google, and I found it difficult to remove the branded search and switch to basic Google. It's not a ridiculous complaint, I just think if they are willing to treat their users like that it will only get worse in the future. I jumped off of Ubuntu because of Unity, though, so I might be feeling very "once bitten..."
The author doesn't mention if the delivery fee includes the credit card transaction fee.
>I _really_ think the potential for UAV abuse is high.

I agree, however there's no legal standing to challenge it on. I'd rather spend my energy, instead of trying to fight something that is going to pass, to instead fight the abuses and make sure that the tool can't be misused too badly. Denying the tool outright is just silly, especially with our current understanding of privacy.
Which seems to confirm that XCode 4.3 isn't available for SL :-( .
The screenshot shows iPhone app search (apps in the phone, sorted alphabetically), not the app store search.

Having said that, I've just tested my theory, and it seems that they didn't change their App Store name: it's still "Facebook Camera", and it still shows below apps like "Camera-" which has just a handful of downloads.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but yeah, if they got the drone you made, it would be pretty damn easy to find out that it was /you/ that made it.

1) You're manufacturing your own MEMS for gyros and accels [no].

2) Sparkfun started accepting cash at their non-existent retail location [no].

Your drone is a flying dataset full of things pointing at your credit card and your home address.

So good luck with that.

The problem with incentives is that it's hard to tell that someone who avoided the traffic jam would have (but for the incentive) driven during the traffic jam.

In other words, let's say someone doesn't do the traditional 9-5, but works nights, or from home, or doesn't work at all, or lives 3 states away, or whatever. Do they get the incentive? If you bring them into the pool, then all of a sudden the budget would need to be a lot bigger.

There are some roundabout ways to try to measure this, but it seems much easier to just charge people for driving at peak hours. But that creates other problems, like installing tracking devices in peoples' cars.

The most recent Linux kernels make big improvements there. My linux laptop battery life went from ~4hrs to ~8hrs when I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04. The reason is a few patches added to the kernel in 2012:

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/New-Linux-kernel-fixe...

That article is from Feb 2012 and mentions two big power-saving problems with the kernel, the first one patched, the second (RC6 power-saving feature in Sandy Bridge) unpatched as of the article's publish date. The second has since been patched as well, for huge power gain.
Off topic: the "headlinese" title of this article results in syntactic ambiguity.

Aye, the whole laptop has something like 0.05" over a standard ethernet port, so you'd have to carve the lid or something.
