To clear up the confusion:

MSNBC's brand has always been two different companies: MSNBC TV and msnbc.com. It's been extremely confusing. MSNBC TV has a hosting agreement with msnbc.com to host the webpages for the shows on the network and some of the podcasts and video clips.

In 2005, NBC bought back 32% of the interest in MSNBC TV and later bought the last 18% in the next two years. They kept the name MSNBC in the process though. Microsoft still owned 50% of msnbc.com.

Now Microsoft has sold off it's 50% in msnbc.com and as part of the agreement is changing it's name. MSNBC.com will become the website for the shows on MSNBC TV and NBCNews.com will become what msnbc.com is today in 2013.
Here's maybe why ...

"One reason it appears teens hate Twitter, is that what they actually hate is news (they never read it online) and Twitter's best use is as a news-delivery service".
I generally trust my kids and have had the appropriate content talk with both of them several times. But they're kids. My 8 y/o boy will still search for "sexy girls" sometimes. If it would just show him swimsuit models or Playboy-level material, I'd be happy enough. But with any search, he's only a couple clicks away from the some of the most hardcore fetish porn ever created.

I still prefer monitoring / reporting to filtering / blocking though. It's more important for me to know what they're looking at and be able to talk to them about it than it is for me to block everything that might be offensive.

Exactly. When I graduated college, my plan was to live in different countries and work for a couple years, then move on to the next adventure. With visa issues, it seems the only way to do this is to run your own company, but even then you're limited to 90 days in a country.

In real life people do think of pieces of paper as having different levels of security or privacy. Some pieces of paper you can leave out on the coffee table, others get locked in a desk, and still others in a safety-deposit box.

Also, as separate point, your use of the word "trade-off" assumes that there is no alternative other than giving the user some complex privacy-aware UI or complicated procedures.
+1 on hobbies. I'll leave my phone and go for a bike ride, while planning to meet up with friends afterwards. It's funny how when you say that you will meet them somewhere, and also tell them that you won't have your phone on them, you can make people commit to meeting you somewhere at a certain time.

I definitely recommend taking at least one full day off per week. You'll feel so refreshed.

This is an interesting idea that uses email/IMAP as a transport for social message passing. It plays to the strengths of multipart email messages having a human-readable part that is as rich as possible for email client viewing (when users aren't in a social-aware application), and a machine readable part (JSON) for plugging in to the rest of the social infrastructure.

Here is their own summary of problems with this approach (from the article):

* Not all users have a suitable email service (requires IMAP to support the
“read it if you feel like it” model).

* Servers tamper with messages as a normal part of existing infrastructure
(especially mailing lists and spam filters).

* Basic IMAP does not provide the full gamut of features required (some mail
servers don't support all IMAP verbs).

* Mail systems may have standard protocols, but individual implementations
may have diﬀerent performance characteristics.
Ask HN: Why no diagnostic tools for MACs?
There are a lot of hardware diagnostic tools and suites available for PCs: memtest86, PC-Doctor, UltraX, Burn-in test tools and a few unix utilities. Even saw a new tool for Android devices.

But, I haven't seen any for Apple products besides the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tool that is pre-packaged with the OS. Anybody have any thoughts on why and whether there is an opportunity there? Is it just because most people believe MACs to be unbreakable? Most diagnostic tools are very relatively simple to build and there is no reason to believe that it wouldn't be possible for Mac OS X.

> Do GPAs go on your CV? I didn't know that.

The flaw in your thinking here is that there's some sort of "standard" template for a resume that will highlight your excellence. A resume is a sales letter designed to show how awesome you are. Include anything and everything that makes you look good.

As an example, with the research paper, highlight why it was impactful. Saying the paper was published in one of the most prestigious journals in its field is vastly more effective than telling us what your paper was about.

Your work experience tells me what you did, but it doesn't tell me why you're awesome. As an example-my resume highlights the fact that I saved my employer millions of dollars. It only glosses over how.

So write your resume in a way that would make someone say "this guy is awesome", rather than trying to write your resume in a way that describes your life.
Soft cores, processors (gpu/cpu/etc) that you put onto an FPGA, are quite an interesting beast. The way it is now is that you can flash whatever physical hardware that can fit - if you had access to Intel Pentium 1 source code, you could theoretically flash on, and it would work.

This is kind of off-topic, but what's more interesting to me, conceptually, is the potential for real-time re-flashing. For example, you've got space for 10 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores. When, say, running a web server, you can erase the GPU cores, and use 20 CPU cores instead. When running a game, you could drop down to 5 CPU cores and 15 GPU cores. Or, when doing single-threaded apps, you could opt for a beefy single or dual core.

Also, you could have CPUs that re-wire themselves as part of their workflow. Or, if, for example, a new CPU design comes out - you could upgrade to it without buying new silicon. Hybrid FPGA approaches even exist today - some high-end FPGAs actually come with a hard-wired CPU inside them.

The FPGA Microbee project is only scratching the surface of "FPGA=cool" factor, I think.
That comparison doesn’t work. At all.
Mainstream article on Agile
I don't know how this will go yet since I am just planning the process of talking to investors right now but the approach I am looking t taking is:

1) Here's what we want to do.

2) Here's what we have done so far.

3) We can get there.

I don't know how this will go yet but it's the strategy I am looking at.
I know that was a joke, but in situations like this there are two separate measures of error; precision and recall. Precision is how many of the results marked as relevant really were (measure of false positives), recall is how many of the actually relevant results were correctly considered relevant (measure of false negatives).

Any system can trivially have perfect precision by saying all results are not relevant, or perfect recall by saying all results are relevant. Your system would have 100% precision and 0% recall.

8 GB of music is several days worth at least. I guess it's easier to just leave it all there, but it wouldn't be that hard to cycle it every day or so.

Maybe setup a streaming server on your own PC and download and cache a days worth each time you have wifi access.
It gets worse, I am afraid. Look at Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project.

It's protected speech if you blog saying "Terrorist organizations should adopt non-violent methods of resistance instead of blowing up cafes. Here's how it might work as an overall strategy, using Hamas as an example...."

However if you print this out and mail it to Hamas, that's not protected, and may be offering expert assistance to a foreign terrorist organization....

Apparently the First Amendment no longer protects the question of who you talk to.
Heh, glad to know I'm not the only one! Seems like you have a far larger set of initial names, very cool.
I wish that MSNBC TV would change their name too.

There was a time years ago when Microsoft thought that set-top TV boxes were the Next Big Thing - that they were falling behind in. Microsoft made huge investments in associated media that they thought would result in demand for Microsoft TV boxes ...

1. 221 million dollar investment with NBC to form MSNBC.

2. 425 million dollar investment in WebTV.

3. 30 million dollar investment in RealNetworks.

4. 1 billion dollar investment in Comcast, the cable TV operator.

5. 5 billion dollar investment in AT&T

6. Another 5 billion dollar invested in miscelaneous TV and Telco businesses.

Very, very nice! Possible feature: would it be possible to generate unique individual links a la pastebin?

Just a "generate link button" that stored all the current values of the variables and spit out a link like:

http://danielribeiro.github.com/WebGLCraft/7vDq0hGh

Though I suppose for pastebin et al. those are just database links. There is too much data here to store it in the actual url string itself :(

Maybe just an export/import to json button then?

I would use this, like, immediately to share designs and pattern ideas with friends.

Also possible tweak: I just built a very tall tower and jumped off. But it doesn't quite "feel" like Minecraft gravity over long distances. The acceleration or maybe just the terminal velocity feel too slow.
Heh, agreed - it's definitely a mixed bag, that's what makes it fun. I've cut it off to a minimum of three character names since; that said, IMHO "C" is a pretty sweet name.

Some of the names aren't so bad, though: Marin, Harker, Gacon... Once in a while it'll generate a real name by accident. Those are my favorite.

I did something similar recently for a game I'm working on[1]. I didn't know it was called a Markov chain, but one thing I found is that if you take the two previous letters to generate the next one, the results are a little less random and seem a little more natural.

The more letters you take to generate the next one, the closer to the original source data you get, but with a big enough corpus of source data, you can still make random names using three or four letters.

I would've thought you'd want it the other way around, ie. integrate email into your decentralised social network. It'd certainly make spam easier to detect, and email easier to filter.
That only works so long as the rules given to the filtering program are accurate and feasible, and if a single failed requirement DNE complete rejection. Management drawing completely overboard reqs for the filter means the filter becomes meaningless.
The Surface Pro would be interesting if it weren't 2 pounds. People had issues with the original iPad at 1.5 pounds. It may not sound like a big difference but it's not going to be the type of device you actually hold in your hands to use for very long. If you can bear a little extra weight in your bag a regular ultrabook + cheap 7" tablet is just going to be a much better combination.

You've made a fine case for the US media being deeply imperfect, but I'm not sure I see which comment on this thread that point is responsive to.
We do a lot of computer troubleshooting and diagnostics for clients. Macs (not MACs BTW) probably account for around 1% of our workload. I think there are a few reasons for this: they are a slightly smaller market to begin with; users get sucked in to Apple's product life cycle, so systems tend to get replaced before they're old enough to have common failures; Apple (maybe) has better manufacturing controls, so there is a lower percentage of early failures; and, probably most importantly, Apple has its own stores everywhere, with a strong brand, so Apple owners will tend to just take a misbehaving system in to the nearest Apple store.

In our case, we have separate hardware for testing drives and memory. That pretty much leaves the logic board and/or video board, which are integrated on a lot of Macs, and experience gives us enough hints on the rest.

So, I don't mean to discourage anybody that wants to build a really cool tool for MacOS diagnostics -- I'd love to see some of the old-school hacker mentality come back to the Apple market (e.g. MacsBug) -- but there probably isn't a lot of demand for it.

If you have a problem you are under pressure to solve, I can cast a black magic spell that will work, unlike white magic that by the side of the most only to some extent influence a state of affairs in your favour. White magic usually fails because the trouble it is trying to solve is in general bigger and more commanding than the white spell, whereas black magic vashikaran will not take no for an come back with, it overpower all obstacles, it dominates a situation and takes absolute control. Many people do not suppose in online black Magic, but dear friends Black Magic is as true as God, as we can not see our soul same as we can not see the Black Magic, but really it is most authoritative thing in this world, what ever we want we can get with the help of Black Magic for vashikaran , there is quite dissimilarity sandwiched between Black Magic and religious power,Online Black magic spells are variety of some authoritative words that need to be verbal in the way as you are not compulsory by any astrologer.

From the fortification from from evil voodoo is also very ready to lend a hand.any participation or activity with demon or Satan was well thought-out Online black magic. It was not calculated by the good or evil intention in the vashikaran magic act. The Black Arts come to be distinct as such for the reason that of its they say that diabolical natural history.An case in point of some of the practice are the incantation and evocations of demon and the deceased; paying honor to demon; the use of blood; performing arts ritual in graveyards as well procure various dead things and other sordid burial ground substance to be used as props and ingredient in ritual.
