This is the reason I dropped Norton 360, a product I was given for free from work. I'm just using MS security essentials now which is free and less robust but it actually allows me to run programs on my computer, which is a nice feature.

Sexual selection theories often try to explain large waist big breast as a good competitive advantage for raising kids, a visible fertility trait, and forget that the most populous country has girls with neither...
"Blonde hair and blue eyes were other infantile traits that were just swept along accidentally."

I felt this is a bit of a loose statement. I would think, like light skin, there would be a reason a recessive genes became so prevalent.

How is this wasting your life? These guys are young - instead of working low paid, boring jobs to pay off student debt and finance an alcohol addiction they're doing something they love, travelling the world, making some money, all while they're barely out of high school. None of these guys will have any problems getting into a reputable university if they choose to study, and they are even building their own brands & networks (through sponsors etc) that they can use once they stop playing.

I'm not a web developer. Nor do I use Windows at home. I guess your point is that in the enterprise or web developer industry, you need Windows PC, I can totally believe that. Also, if you are an aggressive gamer, you will probably be more happy with a PC than a Mac. If you are outside of those areas, you'll probably be happy with a Mac or whatever else you want to use. If you are a consumer/non-gamer, then it doesn't really matter unless you are into Office; I mean, the must have apps are already on the web (facebook).
Concerning concurrency, Ada is 30 years in advance over C++. The concurrency system in Ada83 was already more sophisticated than mutex and thread. Since Ada95, the concurrency system of Ada is really marvellous.

The single problem of Ada is that there is so few Ada programmer on the market.
Nice concept. I would like to see a similar 2d projection game integrated in an augmented reality game world, probably in a mobile app. It would require the app to have a basic understanding of the 3D structure of the world, but that is not impossible.
It's complicated because Symantec assumes that it recognizes more malware than the user (which is almost certainly true). But it is possible if you jump through some hoops. You could tell Symantec to ignore everything in a specific folder, like a build folder for code that's mistakenly quarantined. If you want to recover a specific file it's more complicated. http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Nort...

I'm definitely no expert, but it seems to me that the two pieces of evidence he uses to date the creation of "whiteness" aren't very reliable. As one commenter on his blog pointed out, cave painting may be dark simply because that was the color they had available. And in terms of the Egyptians, the woman may simply have been portrayed as wearing make-up...not as being white. And even if his hypothesis is correct, I don't see how a white person in the Baltic would end up marrying the Pharaoh.

The problem is you will be up against a legal team funded by millions of dollars and they will get you stuck in red tape for years. I don't think a lawyer would take that on commission. And I don't know a lot about it, but I don't think counter-suits are very lucrative in patent law anyway.

This is silly, and you probably think you are being smart.

That's not what's being argued. Read the parent comment, and there is an expectation that it's your data and you have the right to decide what to do with it, and that you essentially should be able to dictate to other companies how they have to share it.

I call bullshit.

> What about the posts I put on Craigslist in the future?

What about them? T&C. It's your data. You are choosing to give it to Craigslist.

> The ratings I give to Netflix?

What about them? Those are your rating? You are choosing to give it to Netflix so Netflix can give you better recommendations.

> Am I somehow mystically bound to never ask for more in return for the data I provide them?

That was never suggested. Nor is it what is happening here. People are acting self-entitled, demanding that their data, which they given to other companies, somehow is still theres by some non-existent right.

> Of course we can ask to change the terms. It's a business transaction.

Which has nothing to do with what's being discussed here.

Here, let me help explain: if you sign up and agree to use a site, and provide it with data, then the business relationship already exists. If you suddenly want more, you need to renegotiate. But that doesn't mean the company should be required to hand over that data (which is what many are suggesting) that they own (and just because it's about you, or you provided it, doesn't mean it's yours to control).

So yeah, you can ask them to change the terms. And when they don't, you stop using the service.

I swear, this is like reading a bunch of posts my self-entitled, egotistical nobodies who, in all truth, never really cared about their data in the first place.

After all, if you did, this wouldn't be a problem for you.

Actually, "Microsoft betrays" was the subtitle of the original page, with "Why Microsoft is for once the cool kid in the technology world" as the title.

By posting it at HN I was not endorsing the headline's opinion - but interested in what an HN dialogue had to say about whether or not Microsoft actions constituted a "betrayal of trust:

I've been mulling over few solutions for craigslist problem and there are few technical solutions to flaunt craiglist's service. I am building service along similar lines of what padmapper did and already writing up those for our service.

Moral is if you quit, you are a quitter. If you are useful to people find some other solution implement it asap and keep rolling. I am not yet living in the sates but if I truly believe that my service is useful to people I'd just go and try to do it differently and move on with that. Never give up, especially if you are doing something that is good. If you're causing rucks and are being useful maybe that might be an opportunity of a lifetime...

Retrospective: The World Ends With You
Happy Donuts (multiple locations on the Peninsula) has (mediocre) coffee 24 hours. It's not Philz but it's a place to go. There's also Heidi's Pies in San Mateo but that's a 30 minute plus drive from the south bay.

Coming from the east (Michigan) I have been a bit disappointed by the dearth of 24 hour anything in the bay area. Particularly things like grocery stores and Target. This is complete speculation but I wonder if it has to do with the fact that a lot of places in the northeast (NYC included) have a history of round the clock shift work in manufacturing.

Sources like "I asked people what they considered to be the "correct" number of spaces between sentences... Everyone—everyone!—said it was proper to use two spaces." or "some typesetters would end sentences with a double space, others would use a single space, and a few renegades would use three or four spaces." or "on a typewriter, an extra space after a sentence makes text easier to read." or "Typographers can point to no studies or any other evidence proving that single spaces improve readability. When you press them on it, they tend to cite their aesthetic sensibilities." or "Is this arbitrary? Sure it is." Those sources?

Unlocking Yourself From the Clock
A few sentences that I think may change my life
it's not the distance, it's the time it takes to get from A to B (during rush hour) and the distinct cultures.

The cities all have enough of a distinct vibrant culture that locals can differentiate between cities. In another world, these town might just have been different districts in a super city (there is literally no separation between cities; buildings and suburbia go right up to the town borders), but each of the cities used to be separated by miles of orchards and farmlands before the tech boom, so each town had a chance to develop a slightly unique culture (if you think of the finches Darwin discovered in the galapogos islands, it's bout the same).

Because the entire area is suburbia, this leads to interesting transit situations. Ignoring public transit for a minute, estimating time to go from A to B becomes less of a function of distance, and more a function of how close each endpoint is to an arterial route. Sometimes,

let me throw some numbers at you, to help explain the situation.

I work in sunnyvale near highway 101 and maude. I am in the process of moving from Campbell (union and campbell ave, if you want to google map it) to cupertino (homestead and de anza). This reduces my commute from about 14 miles down to about 6 miles.

Geographically, I'm going from driving through 5 separate towns (campbell->san jo->sc->cupertino->sunnyvale), to literally just driving across sunnyvale (ok, and a 1/4 mile into cupertino as my car drives not as the crow flies).

From the campbell apartment to work with no traffic takes about 20 minutes if you tend to drive at the speed of traffic instead of the posted limit. If I were to commute during rush hour, this would be closer to a half hour or 40 minutes (i've only done it like twice because it is so horrid). From my new apartment to work will take about 10 to 20 minutes without traffic (slower roads, more stop lights, &c.). So despite cutting my commute distance by a factor of roughly 3, I only reduced my time spent commuting by about 0-50%.

For reference, going from my campbell apartment to my company's sf hq (soma) will take about 80 minutes when commuting during rush hour on public transit (door to door via the caltrain from tamien to sf).

And we haven't even talked about the differences in weather, yet, which due to microclimates can be 10 to 20 degrees different in the space of a few miles.

Here in Southeastern Europe, there's definitely a strong preference towards white in folklore; 150 years ago, only rich folks' daughters could afford to avoid crop work and stay indoors long enough to stay white.
rents are annoyingly high, even compared to the bay area, and it is very hard to find a room/apartment if you don't want to live by yourself and don't have a roommate(s) already (so you can just lease a 2br+ apartment instead of trying to find a sublease on a room).
It's "easy" to build a program with the same length and md5 code than another program. The md5 hash is useful as a protection against accidental collision, but it is not secure enough as a protection against an attack.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5#Collision_vulnerabilities
I agree with the author, especially since any modern typesetting program should automatically detect a period followed by a space and automatically set the optimum distance for the particular font being used. My biggest pet peeve is people who insist on putting hard returns after every line of text, thereby creating a huge amount of work for anyone who needs to reformat it.
For those interested in reading “On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem”, I recommend doing so via Charles Petzold's "The Annotated Turing".

Petzold's book presents the paper, with annotations, historical context, and biographical information. The actual text of the paper is set off with a different background so there is never any confusion as to whether you are reading Turing's words or Petzold's annotations, and so you can easily switch between reading the paper in all its glory, or falling back on the annotations.
My coworker commutes from fremont to sunnyvale. It is quite a bit longer than you make it seem, especially when there is any sort of accident.

Every rule we have about spelling and punctuation is arbitrary, yet I notice you follow current arbitrary convention in your post.

We agree on convention, and on arbiters of convention like the Chicago Manual of Style cited in the article, because of convenience. Seeing words spelled the same way means that we can see the words and move on, rather than the letters as we try to figure out, however briefly, what word is being spelled.

Convention is good, however arbitrary. If fussy people at the CMS said to use two spaces then I would. But they say one, and I move with the well understood herd.

I support what you are doing, but I have some questions.

What are you doing to stop your location leaking through torrent trackers? I believe bit-torrent through Tor is not anonymous in and of itself. Is your torrent client doing hostname lookups via the conventional UDP? Have you made sure you are not leaking these requests? There have been many privacy leaks through bittorrent clients in the past, and I was wondering what steps you have taken to mitigate against this possibility.

> We're well into speculative territory here. Are we suggesting that the coroner was aware of his homosexuality but not of the fact he was a brilliant mathematician?

That seems quite plausible. The coroner would be aware of his criminal conviction as a matter of course, but might have relatively little information about his profession.
It's not BT through Tor. Which is good because BT over Tor is a terrible idea :) You sent your file to his server over Tor, and he seeds it via completely normal means until there are 20 other seeds.
We saw similar claims for atom based servers.

If this was accurate, Google would have adopted it immediately, the savings on their power bill would be astronomical.

The only time atom and arm are 1500% more efficient is at idle.
This happens a lot though. For example, the alleles that keep domestic cats and dogs friendly are from juvenilizing mutations. These mutations also make the ears floppy. It's called "neoteny". The same thing happened when the Russians domesticated silver foxes[1][2].

Humans are subject to a lot of these effects. Our head shape is very similar to the head shape of a baby chimp or gorilla, which obviously changes later in the ape's life. We have much smaller teeth and jaws than other apes our size.

Anyways, the point is that many alleles can be linked to a specific gene, so the fact that blue eyes and blond hair become more prevalent when less skin tone is selected for makes sense.

That said, I don't agree with some of the points made. He's kind of jumping to conclusions. You really can't rely on art to guide your research on skin tone. I draw art where humans are #FFFFFF because that's the color of the paper. Nobody in their right mind would trust something as symbolic as art.

I think the theory as a whole makes sense, though. Grains can grow, need moar vitamin D, lighter skin, other alleles come along for the ride. Now that's a pretty valid theory IMO.

Dictating what categories are not legitimate reasons for rejecting someone is not the same as "you have to accept everyone!" Obviously, PayPal should be allowed to reject actual criminal enterprises, for example. But there is nothing illegal about VPNs that protect your anonymity.

Besides, I think it's clear that any legislation that disallowed payment processors from discriminating against businesses would also have to give them legal protection in the case that said business end up being sued.

For many of us monospaced fonts are not a thing of the past...

Indeed. I use monospaced fonts all the time. Mostly for programming, but also if I am writing a plain text file, I like my editor to use monospaced fonts. Yet I have never had a problem with the words seeming too "loose" or had any difficulty determining the end of sentences or words.

I also never learned to use two spaces. Maybe its because I'm in Europe, but afaik everyone I know here uses one space and would never even consider that two spaces could be correct.
Also kind makes you realize how little protection those standard "secret questions" for password recovery offer. Mother's maiden name, father's middle name, where did you go to high school.... it's all in a database somewhere.
