It all suggests derpmeister should be taken as a less reliable source than Blizzard, which does count against your comment.

Sure, it's not a deductive proof that Blizzard is right and derpmeister is wrong, but it would be unreasonable to require such a thing.

Startup Advice: Driving Your First Traffic
That it's government being restricted by the right to privacy goes without saying. As part of the Bill of Rights, it restricts only the government[1].

The intent of the BoR is just to keep the government from meddling, not to prevent the people, as those directly creating the culture and society, to react as they see fit. The government isn't permitted to stop us from saying bad things [2], but you're perfectly free to respond to the offensive comments of your neighbor. A court mind find someone innocent of a crime as a result of "technicalities" from the the 4th Amendment, but you're still free to shun a person that you believe to be evil.

[1] And, without explicit incorporation by the Court under the 14th Amendment, it applies only to the federal government and not the states. That seems pedantic, but it was only very recently that this was recognized for the 2nd Amendment, for example.

[2] Which doesn't stop them from doing so anyway; see recent legislation about cyber-bullying, for example.

I would imagine that this may require the licence legal text to be rewritten, but not much else would change. Instead of selling a license to use, you sell some sort of authentication service. So that when the actual right to use is transferred, the new owner would need to pay for the authentication service.

As for Valve, they are moving strongly to the free-to-play-but-buy-hats model anyway, where you already can give away all your hats to someone else. Although, yes, it could impact other sellers on steam.

Although this would qualify as a "Thanks" kind of response, I'd like to add a note on how much pain this solves for several people in my circle.

From the german article "Sehe der mit dem Verkauf geschlossene Lizenzvertrag ein dauerhaftes Nutzungsrecht vor, sei dies nicht an den Erstkäufer gebunden - das Eigentum der Kopie werde übertragen, von der Firma an den Käufer"

meaning "Permanent usage rights granted at the point of sale are not exclusive to original and may be transferred to a second buyer..."

I'm guessing soon we will only be able to "buy" non permanent usage rights for stuff we buy on steam/random other online distribution platforms.

Given that both payments in and payments out seen to have been affected, this isn't really likely, not to mention that the fallout from events like these in terms of press coverage and regulatory interest would outweigh any benefit from such an act.

I think for a lot of people the Model is the DB layer. They then (rightfully) realize that you shouldn't combine business and DB logic, and then move their business logic into the Controller.

So they're fixing a valid issue with an invalid solution, causing bloated and dual purpose (business and application logic) Controllers.

Database distribution is definitely a pain for RDBMS. A completely re-invented distributed database system like Cassandra is what's needed. But this simply means that a random blogger can't deploy WordPress on this kind of highly available hosting too.

In any case, AWS is probably closest to this kind of revolution, as they already have different types of managed database services (relational, object, in-memory and key-value). They also have Route 53, which is Anycast-based and CloudFront.

You are correct that just clicking links and tweeting about issues such as the detainment of Bassel might not be very useful, regardless on which website this happens. I've felt like this many times before. Yet doing nothing will most definitely have no effect positive whatsoever. Therefor we try to do something, maybe it is utterly futile and maybe not, but at least we've tried to help a fellow human being getting out of a dire situation.

Personally I hope getting signatures will send a signal to other entities (perhaps more powerful) that helping out with this cause might be beneficial for them. Just because so many people, strangers and friends a like care. Signatures might be useful to fuel other channels like calbear81 is suggesting.

The worst thing in my opinion would be just forgetting people like Bassel and many others in countries with oppressive regimes.

Lederman said he gave it the nickname "The God Particle" because the particle is "so central to the state of physics today, so crucial to our understanding of the structure of matter, yet so elusive," but jokingly added that a second reason was because "the publisher wouldn't let us call it the Goddamn Particle, though that might be a more appropriate title, given its villainous nature and the expense it is causing."

Whilst I think Apple took too long to look at this bug, the instructions in the given test case are, for me at least, ambiguous:

1. Hold one finger down in the blue area above

OK, that's easy enough :)

2. Touch straight down with another finger - don't move your fingers on the surface

And here's where the confusion lies; I thought you wanted the tester to slide their finger down the screen or something like that. From the video it appears that you want to ensure that they "hold another finger on the blue area" or something like that.

Now, I confess that I don't own an iPhone, so couldn't test whether that made much of a difference, but that could be one reason why they rejected your test case. If in doubt blame incompetence, not malice :)
"Me too" is often used as a way to bump a forum thread back to the front page of forum software so that mods and others can have time to participate before the thread rolls off into murky ancient history. For instance, you very often see this in game forums.

Now, my pet theory is that game forums seeded this behavior, and now more people use it even on forums where it is technically unnecessary.

That said, I wonder what the game theoretical explanation is.

You're telling me Apple is unresponsive to support requests from their developer ecosystem? Really? Get out of town! I don't believe it.

Despite all of the rightful moaning of iOS developers, for some reason they continue to flock to the Apple platform. Apple will continue to treat their developers like second class citizens until there is a financial incentive to do otherwise. Right now, when one pissed off developer leaves or goes bankrupt because their app was yanked from the store or wasn't approved for some BS reason, 50 developers replace him.
Converting the display format of data when requested by a view is exactly what a model is supposed to do.

However, instructing a contained object to take some action at the user's request that is unrelated to display or management of contained objects is neither the responsibility of the view or the model, but specifically the task of the controller.

> I don't personally know of any datacenters using turbines for backup power. I don't know enough about turbines to know why that is -- maybe they're not available in smaller sizes, or have higher maintenance requirements, or higher capex per MW, or something else. The only turbines I've seen are cogen/prime power with grid backup, or marine.

They are just expensive; and then you also need a (safe) way to store gas on site. They also have small efficiency bands and therefore aren't always optimal for certain applications. Larger turbines also need a diesel generator to start them ("black start").
Do Startup Lists Have Any Value?
Those not in the know don't need the 4/5th of the article speaking about something that is fully irrelevant, namely "Multi Targeting" which has absolutely nothing to do with the native support for Windows XP which is missing as we speak. Visual Studio 2012 was designed to not natively support Windows XP: they actually had to remove the code that already existed in the libraries and the previous version of the compiler which provided the support. Now they decided there will be an update to support it, effectively merging their existing support code back in their libraries that we users can't build for ourselves. That's all to say.

Writing most of the time about "Multi Targeting" was smoke and mirrors, very effective, see for yourself again how molmalo understood the article as a typical example for how they confused those "not in the know."

I have so much sympathy for you. (Along with anyone else that tries to produce anything that runs on any iOS device and it's walled garden.)

It's easy to see that when building a platformer game, unimpeded multitouch functionality is pretty essential. Have you been able to identify other games that have the same problem? I would of thought that this would be resolved so much sooner than 2 years. It's a core part of multitouch functionality.

At least you still have your app available on iOS!.. It is total BS how developers are treated. Apple has built up a product which sells hundreds of millions of units per year, largely in part due to the developers who have invested time in their ecosystem, but it's total shit how they return no investment back to the people who have supported this system. (Yes, developers are largely to thank. Look at how RIM and MS are failing, because they don't control nor have the content).

Everyone deserves better.

I'm not sure either lifted it from the other. The concept was around with third-party apps for XP and built into Vista, but it's a feature that's gotten so ubiquitous (spotlight, unity dash, windows search) that it's difficult to say who came up with it first, if anyone did.

Err, I think what he means is that you implied that 37Signals was lying, that they pretended not to have a buyer, and to be considering shuttering the site, when in fact they knew that they had a buyer. I can only speak for myself, but if that were proven, I would certainly frown upon it.

I think a lot of 37Signals' brand, and a lot of its relationship with its audience, comes from their transparency and straightforwardness. I think that context also adds to the sensitivity. If it came out that they were lying to the public, it would be detrimental to them for sure.

Not saying DHH answered in the best way possible, or that you did anything "wrong," but you are squirming around the fact that you speculated publicly about them doing something untoward.

ITIL is not a problem, in fact it is a good thing that has happened to IT. However, the problem is the non-IT people running the ITIL.

When people follow processes appropriately, things work out well and on time.

Your answer to this question: Why won't people call it the Mass Particle instead? is in your post: It's the perfect name to annoy scientists and people who are religious.

Seriously, though, I think people are using it in the vernacular sense, like "God Mode" in video games, or Uber, or Mega or any of these superlative prefixes.

I still don't get it.

I still don't get how they jumped from "We have this Higgs field" to "and hey, the field is a particle."
> How do they know its the Higgs?

Woit's comment is a pretty succinct explanation:

> The standard model gives very specific predictions for the behavior of the Higgs, which are fixed by the distinctive properties of the Higgs field (spontaneous breaking of the SU(2) gauge symmetry fixes how it interacts with gauge fields, giving mass to fermions fixes its interaction with them). These predictions have for a long long time shown that if the Higgs mass is 125 GeV, it could not be observed until the energies and luminosities of the LHC were available, and then it should be seen with certain specific signal sizes in certain specific decay channels.

> What the LHC experiments are seeing is, after decades of no such signal in these and similar channels, signals appearing in just the right channels, with roughly the right signal size. If this isn’t a Higgs, it’s something very like it.

Well, your first point is again "let's not use assembly language, it lacks a standard library". Yes, the remark is true, but this just means that we lack higher-level tools above DOM/CSS/JS.

For your second point, I somewhat disagree. JS is now quite efficient. Not CUDA fast yet, sure, but much faster than, say, Python, VB, and often much more memory-efficient than Java. To the point that some video games have been automatically recompiled from C/C++ to JavaScript (through Emscripten) and work quite nicely. Similarly, DOM/CSS are inefficient for really low-level stuff, but suddenly become pretty efficient for animations, for instance.

And, really, the biggest argument for keeping the DOM is not technology, but community: many people know how to use it to do cool stuff.

But yes, canvas + JS or WebGL + JS are also available, for applications that require them.

the issue _is_ of communication: apple will tell you "you have one year of apple warranty, and you may buy another one", when by law they are required to say "you have two years of full warranty (oh and by the way we give you this extra one year warranty)".

For references, consider this page:
http://store.apple.com/it/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac/s...

Which states:

"iMac include 90 giorni di assistenza telefonica gratuita e garanzia limitata di un anno"

meaning:

"iMac includes 90 days of free telephone assistance and a limited one year warranty"

This basically means that a less than extremely savvy customer will buy either a longer warranty, or not claim a warranty after a year because he thinks it's expired.

This is actively Evil.
