Definitely an aspect I didn't think about.

> All they need to do is play good citizens while the Strisand effect takes care of the rest.

Oh yes, regardless of any action on their part the council has really dug into the dung pile now.

I really like the suggestion in the comments on her blog for her to start posting pictures other kids send in. But for now it's probably best to leave the "Shut down by censorship" bulletin up, boosts the Strisand effect.

There is an appeal for UNICEF donations in the beginning, so the video pauses long enough for you to read and close it.

And when you see drastic changes in color/influence? Serious crap just went down. Those are likely the events that even non-gamers read about on news sites.
Everyone's A zone is different. So I could say A is down while someone else is saying B, and we could be talking about the exact same zone. It makes it difficult to say if it is more widespread or not.

AWS hides the real availability zone names from you. From the docs:

Can I assume that my Availability Zone us-east-1a is the same location as someone else's Availability Zone us-east-1a?

No. Currently, we do not support cross-account proximity. Each account's Availability Zones are independent. For example, the us-east-1a Availability Zone for one account might be in a different location than for another account.

Without having read the book in question, I feel this advice is good but partial. A lot of what he mentions in this post is mirrored in Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". I feel that Carnegie goes much more in depth than this blog summary.

One thing: the deli example he gives makes it seem (whether on purpose or not) that you should just say the words to get what you want rather than to actually care about what the other person is saying. You aren't trying to manipulate the other person; instead you should sympathize with them. I personally prefer this attitude change rather than a strictly behavioral change.

It's more a theoretical question than anything else - Say this outage had gone on for days, I'd have needed to be able to see which volumes have failed and drop them from the array. How can I do that when I can't view the raid status? I have these problems even If I purposely detach a volume to test.
RG Residency Noida
It seems like the F-22 catched some real ugly engineering bug. And a persistant one for that. What intrigues me about the whole issue is the reaction of the USAF, not that I actually expected transparency (I can even understand this), but putting some of your best pilots and $377 million at risk, well I'm not considering it reasonable.
Hmm, my sites are still up. They are at us-east-1d. Keeping fingers crossed.
I think this is a better design than the old one. The old one was nice if you were traveling, but really, how many people did that?

This one fits much nicer in a cupboard next to your AppleTV, and won't take up 2 or 3 sockets in an extension cord. It also makes the wiring easier, since you don't have to make sure your optical audio cable and ethernet cable can actually reach the power sockets.

Doesn't surprise me a lot.

When the games launched I went to try a few and they all demanded to know my personal information - name, birth date, etc. I was pretty offended by that and never bothered going further. I'm generally OK with targeted advertising but there is zero reason for a game to need to know my full name and birth date.
Does anyone else find it strange that two Heroku posts made the frontpage considerably (in relative terms, obviously) earlier than "EC2 down"? I would think EC2 is a more common denominator for people, but maybe other hosts have better redundancy and thus there wasn't an immediate awareness?

Or am I just overly curious and it's really just that some Heroku clients happened to notice before an at-large EC2 customer?

edit: I don't mean to imply a conspiracy of some sort, upon a reread. I merely am curious if there are just that many Heroku users in particular on HN or somesuch?
Argyll and Bute council have a website. It appears to be down at the moment. (http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/)

I wanted to know how many CCTV cameras they have. We in the UK are a heavily monitored population (here's a frustratingly thin article with a few details, hinting at a rich data set that is not made available. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8159141.stm) ) It's bizarre that her tax money (as a child she doesn't pay much, but she will pay VAT on a few items and her parents certainly pay taxes) is used to provide state surveillance and to prevent her photographic record of her dinners.

There are many reasons to prevent children taking phones and cameras to school. This reason is a really really stupid reason.

How wrong-headed it is to take active measures against a child who is showing an interest in writing; civics; nutrition; and so on.

EDIT: The father has appeared on BBC Radio 4's "Today" news programme. (about 7:20 for anyone 'listening again'.) He has said that the school has been very supportive, and that the decision was taken by the council. He sounds pretty balanced about it.
We crush the joy of learning out of children.
I'm pretty sure I read that article around the time it came out. Looks familiar, anyway.

It doesn't have anything to do with my point, which is about opportunity costs. I have a finite amount of time, money and other resources. Why should I spend them making sure old browsers used by a small number of the lest sophisticated users work instead of building features?

Best Hgh Supplements
There are many HGH oral sprays in the market, but studies show that HGH being a big molecule does not pass through the membranes in the mouth, stomach or intestines. You must have come across some claims saying that their HGH sprays contain a “polymer” that passes through, but a polymer is larger than HGH and cannot get through either.
Thank you for your explanation.

I guess it just frustrates me because I can't get around it.

With physical goods, if I don't like the AU price, I can easily shop online on another countries website and get the goods shipped. No problems.

With digital goods, there's mostly no way to legitimately purchase them from overseas. You can use a VPN and a fake address, but that breaks the terms & conditions.
This is the third or forth rewrite of this same content seen on the frontpage on HN in 24 hours. It is link bait.
Maybe the most obnoxious thing I've read this week:

"Katie Anderson, a lanky blond childhood friend of Jesse's, says that growing up in a famous, wealthy family was no big deal for Jesse. "That's the thing about growing up in Silicon Valley. No one's famous and no one's rich . . . because everyone's famous and everyone's rich," says Anderson. "So no one realizes, Oh, not everyone celebrates ski week?"

Wow, I think you're over-analyzing this. First, there's a lot of misogyny in rap music, I agree, but it's too easy, and wrong, to dismiss all of it as misogynistic, ultra-masculine braggadocio. There are just too many sub-genres for a simplistic definition. And, if you spend time listening to rap lyrics, you'll come across some truly profound verses; some of Lupe Fiasco's stuff is just mind-blowing. I think Ben Horowitz simply appreciates rap as an art form and enjoys summarizing his posts with applicable verses. Does there have to be more to it than that?

Having couple of util methods (forEach, isFunction, etc...), is just so that Angular can work without any other dependency, which many projects actually do. However you are free to use underscore, jquery and other libraries...

Jasmine ? Yep, we like it and we use it. Angular DOES use jasmine as its unit testing framework + we provide some helpers to make your life with jasmine + angular easier. But again, you can use any testing framework you like.

Angular is server agnostic. However, we have some ideas and plans how to do server side prerendering, so I believe it will come...

Coffeescript has a very similar object model, but it does alter (fix) the semantics of variable binding and expression statements and some unusably broken operators, and those involve treating Javascript more like a compilation target than an equivalent dialect.
Where did I say ignore? I just asked to stop with the skewed metaphor.

I respect people's wariness, but if they feel this way there are dozens of alternative options. Much better to promote them than to rag on what other people enjoy.
> When an Apple laptop sells (lets say at an average of $1200), how much do you think Best Buy gets of that? $50? $100?

Technically, none. Best Buy doesn't mark up Apple computers at all; Apple pays kickbacks after the sale of devices. (At least, I'm assuming that nothing has changed since 2009).

May seem pedantic, but from an SCM standpoint, it's an important difference.

I understand that having pictures of the food is probably going to get the point across even more, but I don't understand why she didn't just continue to blog about the horrible lunches and put a sketch or something. Imagine if she has just kept on blogging without the pictures like nothing ever happened. That would have sent a pretty powerful message to those people that tried to shut her up.
Not to mention something like Sikkuli (in JPython) can actually make your mouse hover and record values...

Plus how is that easy for humans to solve?

4. Write the result...

If I had to do this every time I wanted to login to a site I'd seriously consider switching. And this is the 'best' captcha impossible to break - for humans. Machines can solve it easily.

My us-east-1a is the affected zone, which is 3a98bf7d-126d-411a-a612-3a57a62dc688 using the incantation on the site.

(Oh, and to note: my us-east-1a was also the affected zone during the massive outage last year, and I believe I remember another outage sometime between then and now. I almost feel like every Amazon outage affects my zone. I kind of wonder if that availability zone just sucks ;P.)
Seems that the politicians didn't want people telling them how to do their job, especially if it's a 9-year old doing it.
As a student, I can see the reasons to forbid phones in school (though I believe the advantages outweigh these), but what reasons are you citing in support of camera prohibition?I highly doubt that cameras could pose much of a distraction from classes, and they can't really be used for anything that might be harmful to other students or the school, except by producing hard evidence of something like these lunches, which should be encouraged.
Isn't valve's store idea a pretty trivial way to anchor the price of items though? It seems blizzard chose the path of ambiguity, rather than using a proven off the shelf method for controlling price.
You want to use UTC and convert it to your local timezone using functionality provided in most of todays languages.

In Python, you could use datetime.datetime.utcnow().

It is probably because of the large Heroku outage and post here just the other day, and people are trying to point out that they are down again as that is more dramatic than a normal AWS disruption.
For example, you can email yourself an apk that of a program that was removed from Google Play and install it (I did this - developer decided it wasn't worth his time to support the app but was kind enough to send me the file).

To me that's an example of a power user - something that IOS does not allow.

To take it further - I imagine that one can't be a power user of an IOS no more than you can be a power user of a toaster - there is one way to insert and remove the bread, equally available to all.

James Hague's posts are quite inspiring for me. Just like this one and his "Write Code Like You Just Learned How to Program". After reading the latter I understood why I have so many problems while developing - I'm just trying to do everything perfect and right. Do do that! Just make your program work, because the actual goal of creating it.
Funny, the exact same question came up today. I'm curious what the actual difference between the two is as it's not apparent. (I use a mixture of function prototype with the extends pattern and CoffeScript which exports a function exporting a function.) From what I can see they behave the same as long as you follow the same pattern when writing a subclass.

Sounds like a walking trademark lawsuit. IOS being a networking operating system and all.
I've got one worse. I went to the Apple Store in Bellevue today. Then I went to the Microsoft store. A bunch of either awful disgusting looking, heavy laptops including one with, I kid you not, a backlit "Turbo" button, or a few Ultrabooks that were nice, but no match for even an only slightly more expensive Air. (Save for the Asus Zenbook which I can't wait to see this years' model of).

Then, I saw an employee carrying around two very nice looking Ultrabooks (The new Samsung Series 9 and XPS 13 [both of which, incidentally are very hard to find on the manufacturers websites]). They were not out for display anyway. I played with them a bit and then incredulously asked "Uh, why don't you have these out, they're slick."

The reply was "We just got those in yesterday or the day before". That is something I can't imagine happening in an Apple store.
For the scheduled ones, I think I did receive some prior notice, I might have gotten particularly unlucky with a bunch of emergency/network/etc. maintenance affecting many of my servers simultaneously.

The wired article makes it sound like the girl was a political activist trying to force a change in the school lunch program. But if you read her blog, the photos of lunches look pretty good and her "reviews" are mostly positive. It almost struck me that people with agendas are projecting onto this girl's blog, which doesn't seem to be intended to be controversial at all, rather just a chronicle of her lunches - including how many mouthfuls of food each meal contains as well as the color of the wristband needed to get your lunch that particular day! I don't know why the school shut her down, it certainly was not a negative reflection on their lunch program at all.

This did make me remember my school lunch days - basically tv dinners served in aluminum foil tins. I would have loved to have these lunches instead of the crap we had to eat!

Here's one of her typical reviews "Today's Shepherd's Pie was really nice. The mash on top was really creamy and the mince was in lovely gravy. I wonder where their meat comes from. The salad was lovely and crunchy. The cake looked really difficult to serve because the icing was so sticky. I saved my melon until last and it was a great way to end my lunch.
