Yeah, I'll agree that the event didn't really seem necessary, though the part of the talk about the products' history and development was interesting, as well as looking at the new Street View devices. The really interesting part for me was at the end, when they showed off their new 3D city modelling efforts. Really amazing stuff:

This would be awesome. Does iOS let you do trigger this event if the app is in the background?
Not necessarily. There are two possibilities we can analyze:

1. "not on the list" means "not in the hacker's possession". In other words, the compromised list is partial.

2. "not on the list" means hacker already has cracked it and didn't post for help.

Learning more about the kinds of passwords not on the list could help us determine which scenario is more likely. (If lots of complex passwords are not on the list, that is evidence the compromised list is partial. If only simple passwords or passwords of a certain pattern are not on the list, that is evidence the compromised list is complete and passwords that were already cracked were not posted.)
> I won't pay $100+/month

I know you were talking about a direct service but this argument affects HBO's current cable delivery model too.

I am a cable cutter. I made the decision two years ago after realising that the only shows I watched through my TWC/Tivo subscription were on HBO. I enjoyed them a lot, just not enough to justify spending $112 a month on the TV portion of the service. Worse, I only really watched HBO originals (the movie selection is slow to rotate and doesn't even begin to compare to Netflix). I'd get perhaps 40 hours a year of viewing from HBO (two originals, at most), which makes the net cost per hour viewed over $30. That's twice the rate of going to the cinema, never mind all the other stuff I could do in front of a TV with my time for far less (like gaming: $50 for 100 hours of Elder Scrolls, anyone?)

I ended up in this situation because I already had instant, on-demand, (mostly) ad-free access to an enormous range of current and classic TV through Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and miscellaneous network websites. I was deriving absolutely no utility from my cable subscription other than HBO. That suddenly made HBO seem inordinately expensive. It was a simple economic decision to ditch Tivo and TWC, buy a Mac Mini and a decent remote and stream everything. My bill went from $180 (including internet and streaming services) to $70 and the hardware paid for itself in under a year. (Were I a sports fan I'd be in a very different position, as no doubt I'd view $112 a month as worth it for access to live sports on ESPN.)

I pirate nothing. I miss out on none of these phantom 'water cooler conversations' people talk about. I learned patience. I have more money. It's been a good decision.

I said this had implications for HBO; I am sure I am not alone in my pre-cutter profile (streaming a fair bit, not watching much cable TV, enjoying some HBO originals) and I'm not the only one who's figured out that HBO-over-cable's cost per hour viewed makes it one of the most expensive forms of entertainment available. I don't believe HBO can compete under their current model in the long term.

New York hotels are highly regulated. I'm making the assumption that the landlord doesn't have the right permits (and isn't paying the taxes) to run a hotel.

The point is there are no clean actors here. A landlord running an illegal hotel and a renter that broke their lease. But thanks for calling me a sociopath. ;)
Probably a good thing since it makes you think twice about submitting your plain-text password to an unknown entity.
He didn't really do that. He explained why it didn't make sense for HBO to totally abandon partnering with anyone else and go it completely alone. But there are many less radical options that would satisfy most of the people complaining. For example, he did not explain why HBO couldn't do one of the following:

• Release shows in a timely manner on iTunes

• Keep their current distribution outlets and just allow people to pay for HBO Go (OK, he mentioned billing, but I'd be happy to write a Stripe payment page for HBO gratis if that's really the holdup)

• Add Netflix or Amazon to their list of partners

The actual reason why HBO can't do any of this seems to be that Time-Warner owns HBO, and Time-Warner doesn't want that to happen, so it's not even an option for HBO. Realistically, I'd bet good money that HBO could be more responsive to Internet customers' wishes and it wouldn't hurt their business at all (what, is Cox going to stop carrying HBO because they released a Game of Thrones episode on the Web the same month it aired?), but they aren't free to make that call.
> This advice is just copypasta.

> It's also pretty dangerous and wrong.

It's livenotes from a presentation, I expect Reinout van Rees noted the parts that interested him as the actual presentation has what you think "right":

> If you have lots of memory, set it between 2GB and 4GB. Anything above 8GB exceeds what it is designed to handle

From the slides:

> Above 32GB (lucky you!), set to 8GB.

> This is a great way to cause your database machine to swap to death.

from the slides:

> But be careful: It can use that amount of memory per planner node.

maintenance_work_mem: 2GB is plenty. [...] 10% is way too high.

from the slides:

> 10% of system memory, up to 1GB. Maybe even higher if you are having VACUUM problems.

(emphasis mine)
I think ec2 is the counterexample here. EC2 costs vastly more than owning hardware, and is in many ways harder (you have to design your application to be able to lose any server /much/ earlier than you do with hardware backed by a good SysAdmin's pager,) but from what I've seen working at large corporations, it's far easier (and to further contradict what I said earlier, cheaper) than running those servers in-house, at least for companies that aren't very IT focused. It's also vastly faster; as soon as the budget is approved and you have a guy trained on bringing up ec2 stuff, bang, you have your hardware, whereas in many companies, you ask IT and it's a long back and forth while IT tries to "help" you figure out what you really want, then it's another week while they get the hardware, then it's not just what you wanted, so there's another back and forth of a week. If the hardware was of a new type, there's another week while weirdness due to the new hardware are worked out. During all this time, the manager that wanted the servers can't do anything but whine to IT. With ec2, that manager can just get a better ec2 sysadmin and get on with it.

Therefore, many big company managers just head to amazon for their hardware rather than to the IT department. Part of the efficiency of ec2 is that you don't have to go through some salesrep and spend weeks going back and forth on price like you do when you buy pre-built servers (or way worse, data centre space or bandwidth.) There is no "vendor relationship" to manage, and "vendor relationships" add rather a lot of hidden costs on both sides.

My point is just that if you can solve the problem in a way that managers can plausibly justify an end-run around existing obstacles? I mean, you do need hype, and name recognition, but you can do it without a whole lot of high touch sales and "customer relationships."

Max Payne 3 Benchmarked, PC Gaming at its best
Looking at my local cable plans, watching Game of Thrones on TV would cost me something like $1200/year, because I'd need to subscribe to digital cable with a mess of extras. And our TV is the worst screen in the house (even my phone has higher resolution). Tell me again why I would do this?

Personally, I'm going to wait until GoT comes out on DVD, and borrow the first episodes from someone. If I really want to watch the series, I'll buy the box set. But lots of people aren't so patient, and I've heard that piracy is free…

The tight relationship between HBO and the cable companies will remain insanely profitable for years to come. But eventually there will be too many customers like me, and that's going to be a hard day for HBO.

Some folks are willing to pay for exactly what they want, but they're not willing to pay an additional amount to get content they don't care about.

You have the option of buying the DVDs or through iTunes. Using your analogy, they can buy the entire album or a single track. If a band played some new songs at a concert, you'd have to wait until they made it on an album...unless someone records them and releases them for free.

Did Apple pull the LinkedIn app from the store yet? No?

More inexcusable hypocrisy. LinkedIn clearly violates Apple's policies here, and Apple does nothing. It's a replay of the Path address-book debacle, and neither Apple nor LinkedIn learned from it. Both of their actions represent disregard and disrespect for customers.
I don't think 'massively bloated' is a fair way to describe either jQuery or Prototype. Both of these libraries offer a lot. A better way to say it would be 'picked up some weight recently'.

That being said, I agree that this would be better off without jQuery; when every millisecond, every kilobyte matters, jQuery is simply off the table.
I think this makes complete sense for HBO, although as a consumer its pretty irritating. I'm hunting for the reference but I seem to remember reading about (UK) Sky signup accelerating after the launch of Sky Atlantic, which shows HBO content pretty much exclusively, their content brings people to providers. Until the cord cutters outnumber the cable subscribers its not going to change I'm afraid. Also the providers also have their own IPTV solutions so whats the benefit to HBO?
It lessens the chance of your data being used to make money, don't you think?
I have cable internet, but I don't have cable or a TV for that matter.

It is 2012, my computer monitor is larger than the TV I had as a kid (both in size and, of course, pixels).

The shows I can watch legally I do.
Still, hashes can be cracked, and an evil password-checking website can then associate the password with all of the other personally-identifiable data that browsers are known to leak. I don't think this particular site is being evil, but it would be wrong for a user to trust a site like this.
Wrong. The "opt in" was to DISPLAY the information WITHIN THE APP. It was described as nothing more than a preference. LinkedIn never asked permission to upload the data.

Yes, and when they go out of business and post their sad little page about how content producers can't make money in this age of piracy, are you going to believe them and support the next internet clampdown legislation, or are you going to remember that their business model was dumb and they deserve to go out of business(not the HBO is making the wrong choice, it is probably the correct choice for them).
I think its interesting to see what kind of passwords were in there. "password" was of course in there, "password1" was not, "password2" was....
There's something very pleasing to know that guys like Carmack aren't just punching out tomorrow's FPS engines, but doing out of the box stuff like this.

This is in anticipation of Apple dropping Google for their own mapping system next week. So far Apple's "one more thing" for maps is rumored to be the result of their acquisition of C3 Technologies for their 3D maps. Google's simply showing that they can do that, too.

The offline maps component isn't very exciting: they've previously had that as a labs feature on Android phones.

I've used this before but it took a lot of fiddling to get the desired functionality out of it.
I'd use MySQL if its what you know best - it is definately scalable. I like using MySQL to populate Redis (for all reads) since Redis is blazing fast. My last tip is to think horizontal while building your app detailed speed and query based optimizations can always be added.
To elaborate, debugging is basically "applied memory recall". When you see a symptom, what happens is that you start guessing how it could have manifested. Sheer experience basically gives you better guesses.

I've been able to debug more effectively than my coding skill level would imply by dint of my better recall ability.

I agree completely, but it's important to remember the other side as well: in the United States, control over your intellectual property is not considered a moral right either.

While there is no justification to be found in that distinction for pirating the show, it makes it much less clear that you have a moral imperative to maintain "self-control" and not pirate it.
Your assumptions are completely incorrect. I support none of those things.

I do support content creators being compensated in the manner and amounts they choose to ask.

These are different things.

I've seen them in person and they're remarkable if you've never encountered them before.
I've used dells (3 years), lenovos (3 years), acers(2 years), HP(2 years), msi(couple of months) and alienware(1 year)

Rating on price, durability, performance, size, quality I also recommend lenovos. I used The T61 for a couple years before until it died, and now I'm on the R400. Bought them used for cheap (~$300). Great laptop.

The others are either too expensive, not durable at all and performance issues. Lenovos have always stood out above the rest.
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.

Do you also steal diamonds? Gas? McRibs? After all, those are also products who's supply is artificially constrained. I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but however you try and justify theft, it's still theft. The market is functioning, you just don't like how it works right now.

Recharging it isn't that simple

We use zeolite as a water scavenger in high vacuum systems, it's tremendously good at grabbing onto water BUT because it's so porous and very low thermal conductivity it's a real pain to heat it enough to get all the water out again.
We have a heater resistor at the bottom of a small can of this and the top of the pellets a few cm away is cool enough to touch.
You might do better with a microwave system but then the inefficiencies are going to hurt.

Why not use one of the many phase change salt solutions that are also used for rechargeable heater packs?

Even better if it was a quick guide to all quirks PSQL

Dear DBAs, PostgreSql may be great and etc, but if I need to spin a DB for testing/proof of concept, you bet I'm going to use MySQL 20 out of 10 times.

"Go RTFM" sorry, I lost count of how many times I had to set up MySQL or PSQL and MySQL is much more intuitive and easy to work with.

PSQL is sincerely a waste of time and energy for small things. If I need scalability, etc, sure, get a dba and go for PSQL

"Stupid DB tricks you should not do:" don't forget no logs in the DB. Or jut put it in a totally separate DB, but hey, an append only file is ok

"Don’t use gigantic IN clauses. Django generates them a lot. JOINs are fine, but IN isn’t well-supported in postgres."

Oh really?!?! And then they say Django in PSQL is faster?! Maybe to something really simple. (not in my experience, maybe that's why some things are faster in MySQL)

Disagree about offline maps. They are very handy in remote locations. Also I recently showed some friends going to Europe the app CityMaps2Go and they were able to use their iPhones for navigation without having service by preloading maps.
If I click on one of these and select something then the next time I click it just flickers instead of opening. I think they have something wrong with their event handlers.
