Why do humans are always trying to oversimplify that which is already simple? People choose to pirate because their impression is that the pros (easier, no drm, cheaper) outweigh the cons (risk of getting caught, risk of all art ceasing to exist). That's all, just a simple pros vs cons we all quickly do for every decision we ever do in our lives.

No need to try to find cheap pseudo-psychological explanation to why people cheat just so you can justify why you feel comfortable calling piracy "theft". It is what it is, trying to oversimplify the simple with pre-made labels, will just end up making the simple look complicated (as your explanation) for no good reason. Because your oversimplification is throwing variables away, you end up having to make stuff up to explain the gaps, which will always be an imprecise bandage. Which will have more gaps, and need more bandage. So you end up with these Frankenstein hypothesis that won't get you anywhere. All of this mess can be easily avoided if you accept people pirate simply because the pros outweigh the cons.

Now I'll just go back to building a solution instead of whining.

It was terribly frustrating to farm bosses in D2 over and over again for days just to get a piece of equipment that put one on parity with others.

No one at Facebook is under the impression that PHP is a particularly good language, but it does the job. What really matters are a libraries and abstractions that you'll actually be interacting with. At Facebook these are leagues ahead of any other PHP codebase I've seen.

That is totally cool, however - just for perspective, other people are not in their early 20s, fresh from college with no experience in other large silicon valey companies for the past 20 years.

Others: they ave 2+ kids, have been through many IPO/M&A debacles and may have gone through ridiculous divorces, major swings in their marketability or simply been screwed over by certain companies...

They hype around making tons of money can be subdued by the realities of life in between these relatively rare miollionairing events.

Thus, qualities of work other than "working myself to the bone because this company will be the next google IPO" become a big factor. This is why HP, Yahoo, MS, and others continue to attact talent - although it might represent an aging trend.

There will always be more wily generations in the tech industry. Learn, earn and avoid smugness.

Kolkata - Web Application Fingerprinting
This is a pretty individual thing, so the headline is misleading. Ryan does make some great points, but depending on the situation selling a company can indeed make someone happy.

I sold a site/company that I built and operated for 9 years, and while I did miss parts of it, selling it at that point made me quite happy. It wasn't exciting me anymore to work on it, I was interested in other areas, and it was a good thing for all parties involved.

While the money wasn't life changing and was far from making me financially independent, it made me happy to pay off my wife's student loans, put a down payment on a house, save for the future, etc.

The part that really seems hard for entrepreneurs is working for the acquiring company after the fact, or realizing that they loved how their life was when they were running their company. The grass is always greener...right?

This is not looking good... some people on this list have gone and installed Google 2FA after realizing their computer might be compromised. Enabling two-factor auth WILL NOT resolve this issue if your computer has been compromised. If you get this warning, you need to bring your computer to someone with real security expertise and have it checked out. Strongly consider cleanly reinstalling your OS, then enable two-factor authentication.

EDIT: Here's the message that Google is giving to people that have been affected: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=m...

It looks like they're detecting exploit code sitting in people's accounts, mostly in the form of PDF and Office docs and inside RARs. This might explain why snowfl0w is on the list, since he handles a lot of this stuff daily and some of it likely goes through his e-mail (on purpose). It's unclear if this means that your account was successfully compromised. It's more likely that it means someone is attempting to get into your account.
I personally don't care if it's an individual attack or a state sponsored attack. An individual can be sponsored by a state after the fact. With the price of 0day vulns as high as it is, it's quite likely that "states" are playing the field as much as "traditional" attackers. Drawing a line between the 2 is treating a grey area as black and white.
So, is this just Google Hangouts for Facebook?
Or it would be cool if you could make a ball shape with a solar power source inside, and it could push itself around and collect energy. It could turn on and off rows of "buttons" to give itself momentum.

It doesn't. But the alternative, not watching the show, doesn't either. He also never claims that his actions would benefit anybody. (You probably have the moral high ground here, I just don't agree with this argument.)
Out of principle, an app must not collect what it doesn't need. If the programmer thinks nothing sensitive should be in there, it's still not ok. Unrelated example because you mention the contact list - people who put passwords in there as phone numbers.

What really got to me though are notes. Notes! Of course no user should write "make that fat ass invest in us" in their appointment notes, but that is not how privacy works.

Different types of risk
I'll wait and see how Netflix does on producing original content; HBO seems really good at it. Over the years they've shot some amazing shows and the product speaks for itself. Even though I am a current Netflix subscriber I would still easily add HBOGO to my monthly bills for premium access to their content.

Also.. their largest carriers also serve a lot of cable internet, for most it wouldn't be adding a competition so much as adding another way to get at subscribers money. I'm not so sure they would be in a huge rush to drop them.
I'm glad to see FB come down, just so I can invest on FB at reasonable price.

I don't know, it seems like the options for fixing this are limited.

As more of anything spawns, the market supply increases. Everyone would cry if they couldn't farm monsters for good stuff like gems. So at higher levels, great gems are spawning, and then they are going on the market, increasing supply and driving the price toward zero.

You could make gems decay in storage to take them out of circulation, but everyone will cry. You could make gems into very fragile/limited-use items, but everyone will cry. You could increase the work required to generate gems, now they will not be accessible to anyone except by buying from Chinese gold farmers or working Diablo like a job.

All you can do is forbid any kind of selling of gems (or whatever). But then the entire market is the black market and again the game is run by people who are using automation to produce items to sell for cash. So you actually have to prevent transfer of ownership altogether... but nobody suggests that because it doesn't sound like any fun.

And anyway, even if you do that you will still have people paying for someone else to level up their character and get goodies.

How about decoupling from the companies altogether and just saying "It's doing well," or "it's doing poorly." The portfolio is not performing up to expectations." The company our partnership has invested in is doing well --it's doing well.

Alternatively, although a bit artificial would be to use an exclusive "we" (we, but not including you) or an inclusive we (we and you). English did have a dual pronoun which could be repurposed for that, I suppose, but it would seem forced --maybe more artificial than the artificial use of "we" you have experienced being used by VCs.

No.

The problem is curation.

It's really handy to have stuff in history. But there's a ton of crap I don't need.

What I need to do is get better about scripting the stuff that I'm invoking frequently. Though zsh probably has an extension that does this for you, and scratches your back.

Mind: virtually all my shell scripts start off as one-liners that I've invoked and re-edited (M-x M-e FTFW) until I've realized I have something worth saving.
HBO currently gets around $8 per subscriber, typically you are paying double that to the cable company so unless the overhead is 100% I doubt they would need to charge more than $15 per subscriber. The real problem is distribution and making up for the fact that cable companies are guaranteeing a certain number of subscribers (in the millions).

The other reason is that Time Warner wont risk their other channels being unbundled from the basic tier such as TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon, etc. They make more on some of those channels (Ads + subscriber fee) than HBO.

A tale of a product way ahead of its time-From Microsoft SPOT to Pebble
As an engineer, not knowing how to scale when working on something that may need to scale could spell the downfall of whatever product you're working on. Yes, all is well and fine until you hit a natural growth cycle and can't commission new boxes fast enough because each request is taking 300ms. Your database isn't accepting enough requests (plus, some of your bad queries that aren't indexing are blocking too long). Then your web servers run out of memory because you are using an ORM for large lists of items that you're just returning as an array...

Once you get to the point of no return you have to know what to do or you'll suffer. Learning that when fire is falling from the skies is the worst way in retrospect.
A lot of the sub pages don't seem to have <title> elements. That seems like an odd oversight.

Sometimes I don't want to fork, e.g., if there's nothing waiting for input, e.g., the last program in a pipe.

prog |prog |exec prog

The usual way to do this is to put it in a shell script, then run the shell script. Though it would be nice in some instances, you can't run exec from a shell prompt or you'll exit the shell. I was thinking that if I'm in the kona console, executed from a parent shell, then I could type exec from the console and run programs without forking, because it's not going to cause kona to exit. Wishful thinking.

To stop forking, you would have to add an option to call execve() instead of system() in the kona source.
Can Fracking Be Cleaned Up?
I tend to agree with you on this. It's a great idea, but not an amazing idea. And the reason is simply that we can think of what a better version would look like - polymorphic buttons.

I wonder if that's actually a good criteria for defining game changing innovation - that you can't think what a better version would look like.
OK, so suppose you measure metabolic activity in (say) nucleus accumbens, with pretty sensitive equipment, for a number of different players (experienced or naive? D2 vets or not?) as they somehow play this commercial computer game with their heads stabilized, for not very long periods of time. You aggregate the data across individuals, losing a ton of information.

Now what is the hypothesis - that D2 will drive significantly more metabolic activity than D3, because some blogger thinks that it is a better game?

This would tell us nothing of any scientific interest whatsoever. (Not to say you couldn't make a poster or even get grants for such rubbish, with the right connections)

If there is a testable hypothesis in here, it is so bizarrely specific as to have no practical value nor any value in distinguishing among meaningful theories about how the brain works.
Sorry man. The site is completely static and hosted on Amazon S3/CloudFront. I made a typo fix earlier and Transmit totally nixed the permissions, but CloudFront didn't pick it up until now. It should be fixed.
This is the annoying thing about the argument, that there's any chance whatsoever that the cable companies would drop HBO. There's zero chance that would happen. Zero.

Here's a question- Cable channel AMC makes Mad Men available for purchase on Amazon Instant Video the day after it airs. As far as I know, no cable systems have dropped AMC as a result. Why not?

I think people have come to undervalue proprietorship. In other times and places, it was/is a good thing just to have steady work as (say) an innkeeper. If we consider this as just an income stream, it's not much to strive for. If we want to be pointy-haired bosses, it seems pathetic. But a self-sustaining way of life offering some fulfillment is valuable, and not everyone can have a self-sustaining way of life where they order around lots of other people.
