I think there should be more major cities like SF.

The reason is that this will cause infrastructure to be built. While I am (still) living in Europe and have very good infrastructure as someone interested into technology I fear that such developments could cause infrastructure to mainly be built at certain cities making everyone else living in some kind of desert, which could cause places to be underdeveloped, which leads to inequality, which then leads to unused potential, which is generally a problem that people see way too seldom these days. If you have people that are poor and stuff this means you loose potential, which means you waste the chance of someone bringing everyone forward, which maybe causes the next Einstein (just to make a point) to become a criminal instead of solving problems and creating amazing technologies.

One could see it as evolution. If the first humans had have bad luck, because of being at a bad spot, where intelligence wouldn't have helped at all, there was a drought period or just a predator or a virus, maybe even a meteorite they could have just gone extinct and could have exterminated a race that now can be considered dominant.

You could also see this with genes, like the one that causes western people to be able to drink milk. If the first individuals had back luck we probably wouldn't have that option now.

So every time you prevent someone from having the right infrastructure, eduction, society, life and if it's just the money you potentially prevent someone from solving the biggest problems.

Yes, one can argue that someone smart could make his life everywhere, but people need to learn this first. No matter how smart you are, if you just don't know you can do it that way, because you have no examples and no parents that tell you to make something out of yourself and instead society just reinforces you to do something different or bad you won't become a scientist, even if you'd have the potential for a Nobel Prize, unless something causes you to find it out, have self-esteem, etc.

So, it's okay to build nice technology cities and invest money in certain areas and places, but it would not only be bad, but also dumb if this makes you forget about the rest.
It depends. If I already have the full file, it's much easier (and efficient) to tell you the value of a random byte and let DB give you the file than having to transfer it all.
Because Boxopus actually downloads the content? They're not just a BT client, they actually run instances of it.
I've had to do that before when applying for a credit card, but the information wasn't very accurate. They were asking a bunch of questions about my mortgage, which I've never had. Eventually I realized they had somehow gotten my parents' mortgage attached to my name (possibly because I was on one of their credit card accounts years ago?), and once I realized that, I was able to answer the questions correctly by asking my parents what to answer. But, not too impressed.
Nitpick: That heat ferried by the gulf stream is what warns the Baltic is a quasi-religious supposition from the father of oceanography. The thermal ballast of the Atlantic ocean that develops in the summer is primarily responsible for most of Europe's uncommonly warm winters.

They're also harder to read.
Perhaps the bandwidth between (dropbox + all your syncing devices) is greater than what the conspiring client can provide, so such a scheme may still be beneficial.
I think that the most visible advantage/disadvantage of having different skin colors, are the frequency and severity of sunburns. Black people are more resistant to sunburns than white people. And given that they would need to move hundreds or thousands of kilometers, to be exposed to lower latitudes and heavier solar radiation, and that it was a loooong trip in those prehistoric times, maybe they didn't get to see the advantages/disadvantages.

But then again... who knows?!
I'm not saying it's not theoretically possible for GC'd languages to do that, I'm just saying in my experience of some of them (Python, Lua, Java) limitations of the language in terms of how/where/when to allocate memory has limited its use significantly for the domain I work in.

> Saying that games and embedded systems "allocate a fixed size of memory up front and NEVER free it, re-using it instead" is almost meaningless.

I was using that as an example of being in complete control of the memory...

> But not all, or even most, applications are like that.

Well again, it must be the domains I've worked in, because at least when doing embedded and desktop software, it's often been a big concern.

As nice as your project is, you could simply have read the temperature from almost any computer, router, switch, etc.

Just google cisco (or Juniper, Extreme, etc) temperature MIB to get started. Some devices give you 4 or even more readings (like temp at the intake fan, cpu temp, temp at out fan, etc).

Many servers have multiple temperature sensors as well, generally accessible with some vendor-specific MIBs, plus you of course have LM78-style sensors for pretty much any modern motherboard. Of course some of these don't give you room temperature, but they will climb anyway if something's wrong with the room temperature. If 5 or 6 different boxes in the top left corner of the room all start climbing you know something's up.

For Linux, check libsensors and lm78.
Many Sun boxes will give you temperature readings with prtdiag -v and you can easily turn that into a MIB via e.g. ucDavis SNMP agent.

Sometimes people seem to forget that the most frequent users of Craigslist, and the ones that keep it popular, are not complaining about it having bad UX. We are.

I want PadMapper to succeed (it helped me find a place super-quick for grad school in the fall), but Craigslist has every right to legislate their content. We'll see what they do/don't do about it.
SV is not full at all... even Palo Alto, out of downtown, has countless vacant office parks. They're not accessible to mass transit though, which makes them not accessible to San Francisco folks which I think is a big part of it and which makes Downtown Palo Alto more attractive.

Do they ask for exactly one random byte for every 4mb hashed block?

For a <4mb file, if you just guessed a random byte and try 256 times, wouldn't you probably get it right at least once?

Still, they could easily change the scheme to ask for more bytes to reduce the chance of a correct guess, plus it would be hopeless for large files.

You know, with this POV one can dismiss anything. One the other hand that's how we became humans — by getting only slightly better with each generation.
Even then, they're not a great size for examination. The whole format of the page looks like it was made by Crackpots-R-Us, which doesn't contribute well to his argument.
Not true. Safari and Chrome are both built on top of WebKit.
If you look at the parent I think agreement on the patent issue is implied. Certainly patent damage is more obvious and is more important in terms of the advancement of technology and increased standard of living.

But that doesn't mean copyrights don't stifle cultural innovation. It's just that most people don't care as much about the cultural stuff. O Fortuna is a particularly good example because the words to which Orff set his music were in the public domain, having been written centuries ago. His work could not have been created if the poem was still under copyright.

They are an interesting data point between the two:

* A generic provider of CPU/storage/bandwidth who isn't (generally speaking) responsible for users copying stuff using provider's resources.

* A service who clearly and obviously caters to pirates (those do actually get in legal trouble)

A lawsuit would probably be interesting for the class of cases where it is not clear who is legally responsible for actions performed by software (author, owner of box, user starting the action, etc.)

Can you show me where I said:

"all programmers at Google"

"amazed"

"world-changing ideas"

What I see are your words, not mine. Yet they are attributed to me.

If this is an "argument" as you suggest, then you are doing a poor job at making your case.

There is a difference between 1. "research" and developing "novel" ideas and 2. executing well on large projects. It's possible to accomplish 2. without invoking 1., and vice versa.

There is no contradiction.

When a programmer complains there's nothing in "apt" to solve his problem, I'm never impressed. Nor am I ever surprised. Convenience makes some programmers very lazy.

Is it just me or do some Asians not seem nearly as white as caucasians? It seems especially Japanese can be fairly pale, I think its fairly subjective to say people of European ancestry are universally the most pale on earth.

Well, I can't believe an entire community of entrepreneurs actually beleive this is a design/data use/competition issue and are failing to mention that Craigslist is protecting one of their ONLY sources of income. House postings.

Housing is 1 of the 2 things (job postings in certain cities is the other) that Craigslist charges for. So if Padmapper gets popular, starts listing from it's own website and people go directly to it, bypassing Craigslist, Craigslist takes a Massive hit in revenue.

THIS is a huge weakness. If you want to kill Craigslist start with Housing and Job postings in the cities that Craigslist charges for. Those 2 things ALONE are what are funding all of Craigslist.
surely freezing thousands of dollars of someone else's money should be made illegal
The depigmentation ("whiteness") referred to in the article also applies to hair and eye color. Although some East Asians may be pale, their hair and eyes are generally not depigmented.
Fair enough, I see :)
Of course they do not. Malaysians for example are dark colored, as are Indonesians etc. Also Indians are far from pale.
In my experience, no, although it may take a bit more than an hour each day and you may need to spend it outside during the "high noon" part of the day. Basically, I've often, in the past, jumped into spending a lot of time outdoors shirtless in the summer time and would get sunburned once but then from that point on would not. It seems that the sustained sun keeps one's "tolerance" up so that sunburns don't reoccur at least until the skin gets less tan again (when less time is spent outdoors)
I'm from India, and have never used sunscreen, as is the case with the majority here. We don't get sunburned that easily i guess. It does happen if we go into the mountains i.e. snow peaks is not that common otherwise.
I work with many Indians and they themselves refer to "Asian" as a different race (meaning East Asian), so I didn't mean Indian people by this, rather East Asian, obviously many East Asians are much darker skinned than whites, however I personally know Asians that are fairly pale and I am sure at times I have been more tan than they are (when I would spend more time outside) and I primarily of German-Irish ancestry.

"On the long-term average, the Baltic Sea is ice-covered for about 45% of its surface area at the maximum annually. The ice-covered area during such a typical winter includes the Gulf of Bothnia, the Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Riga, Väinameri in the Estonian archipelago, the Stockholm archipelago and the Archipelago Sea." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Sea
I understand that point, I just think the author goes a bit far in his assertions. There are many races that have some extent of depigmentation, which I take to mean that they can change their skin tan level by going out in the sun more or less, so it can be a bit subjective to say exactly which are the most pale, however the hair and eye color is less subjective.
I am quite surprised that anything that apple apply patent for automatically is for the greater good, instead being for its own agenda. I would not be surprised that the only application of this patent would be to spead more non-sense about its futur product.
I've had laptops that weigh less than 4 pounds for years. It's nice that we can now have one with a bigger screen, but show me the revolutionary new things you can do with it that you couldn't do before?

For what it's worth, I think broad availability of capable netbooks for 300$ was probably more of an evolutionary jump. Or things like the Rhaspberry PI - those things open up new use cases. Like, it makes a difference if everybody can afford to buy a notebook instead of a desktop PC, because it makes mobile computing take off (in turn leading to localized services).
I started using Craigslist in the late 1990's before it got 'popular'; some dates, got an apt, sold a few things, bought a few. The big www thing was slowing muscling in on newspaper classified turf but not enough of a threat. There was a sense of community like the Well or BBS dialup days of olde; people trusted it. I think people value routine and endurance and CL was/is? seen as a place to community exchange. The heavy text based simple Web 0.5 UI hasn't changed much since then and yet users still come like people still use vi or emacs. They all drank the koolaid! 20 yrs later, I hear all this talk of data/API entitlement and efficiency is the new Winning! I don't get it? If CL is so lame and inefficient why can't these smart young whippersnappers replicate such a model of community BBS? Grow/Roll your own, collect your own data as the article suggests. FFS, there is no monopoly in the hood. There is some natural selection out thar in the intertubes.
I think they would probably claim to be a service provider under the DMCA.

"

"

To make that claim, they need to register a designated agent first; I can't find their agent on their online listings or their website, but I presume that they will do that before they get too big.

Disclaimer: IANAL, this is not legal advice.
I didn't dismiss the MBP - I'd like to have one myself, if I could afford it. I only challenged the notion that it supposedly changes computing as we know it.
My "only slightly better" is a response to the article, not a shrugging off of the new MBP.
"line-of-business developers don't have a great track record of marketing applications directly to consumers"

This sounds like hearsay to me. If a gigantic chunk of the developers are working on ASP.NET and J2EE I would be surprised if they did not transfer those skills to their own business when they open one. Stackoverflow is one such case to give an example. So in my opinion, Marco's premise is wrong even though it may be correct within his circle.
teamliquid.net is the community site

teamliquidpro.com is the team proper's site

I suppose it's a bit confusing because information about this is plastered all over both the community and team sites.

As an aside, it is mildly amusing that EG, another popular US SC2 team, fronted 666 dollars.
Being sued for something like this sounds like a perfectly good way to make some patent lawyer very famous and yourself very rich.

Maybe I'm just naive, though.

> I have trans friends.

Assuming the best of you, let me give you a small piece of advice. Never say this. Even if it's true, and even if it's your trans friends who Made You See The Light, etc. Not only is it an irrelevant fact, but it's a very frequent cover for bigotry ("I have a gay friend!" "I have a black friend!" "I know lots of women!") and will never help your case.

There are a couple reasons for this. 1, it obviously didn't keep you from making whatever mistaken statement you made. 2, just because someone is part of a group does not automatically make them sainted evangelists of that group. In stricter terms, it's an argument from a false authority: your friendship with a small group of individuals does not make you (or them) an authority on the larger group under discussion.

> But call me old fashioned, we already have a word for "cis-woman," the word is "woman".

Who is "we" and why do you assume you're included? Language drifts, and it drifts most particularly in subcultures. People discover needs to describe things that they do not immediately have words for and begin using new words. You can be as old-fashioned as you like; just don't prescribe how other people talk. You ain't no po-po for da lingo.

> If trans people really hate being labeled as "different," just co-opt the word woman.

They did. That's when you didn't hear about them.

Think of it this way. A lot of people currently believe that gay people do not exist. I'm serious. They do not exist, and that is part of what justifies legislation against them. They're not trying to oppress people; they're trying to convince supposedly gay people to relinquish their traumatic past and return to the straight and normal. Laws that oppress a non-existent class don't really seem like oppression. Forcefully reminding us that they are a class and that they are treated differently right now has value.

I mean, really. How exactly do you expect them to talk about the issue of bathrooms without bringing up the transgenderedness? And how do you expect them to talk about their transgenderedness without sounding like it's something deviant?
"By what mechanism are you suggesting this occurs? I can't believe that your bank would simply sell it to whoever asks"

In Europe there are "data protection" laws and what this means is that there is always a checkbox to check before companies could sell your data.

BUT, they try as much as they can to make you check it. If you do you will receive a "gift"(useless piece of crap) or 10 euro discount.

I never do but my mother does and she can't stop receiving junk in the mail box from different parties. My mother always says "how do they know my adress or my age?

Database selling or exchange between companies is routine.
I agree to an extent, in that people from the Bay Area are funny about distances (as are people in the Northeast). But at the same time, I have to add a data point against: I live in the Montrose neighborhood in Houston. If you live here, and people ask where you live, you say "I live in Houston." I grew up in a suburb called Sugar Land (so idyllic that it's creepy, incidentally. Not recommended). Yet while traveling, and asked where you lived, someone from Sugar Land would say "I live in Houston."

The cultures, mentalities and lifestyles separating the two places could not be more different, yet they all would say they live in Houston. Tiny geographic distances can translate into massive cultural distances. The difference with the Bay Area is that they take the little names of their sub-regions and stick to them. I guess because they assume that people will know who they are or care?

That's the best I can figure. Every once in a while I run into someone talking about sub-regions of SF as if I really, truly have committed every last one of them to memory: "So we moved our company out to a house in Milpitas."
Sources please? I live in Finland and find that very hard to believe.
