Social Media ROI Made Simple for SME's
[citation needed] on 4chan producing memes that are more than comics and cat pictures. Anonymous, sure. 1% movement? Ehh I need some proof.

"And come on, it's where all the memes are born." It is not where all of the memes are born, much less the useful ones. If you claim otherwise, please tell me what I am missing.
Hm, can you generate new codes whenever you need to? It might be cool to use these 10 at a time as a one-time pad.
I fail to see how this was an "ass kicking". Mr. Runyon met someone who's a pioneer in his field and had an enjoyable time listening to him rant about the iWhatever devices. Did Runyon also "get his shit pushed in" by Mr. Kirsch?
This. The headline was a parser combinator in C. The author is working with what he's got. Can't argue with the hangups that come with it, unless he makes some claim that his language choice is somehow superior to another, which I don't see happening here.
So does the user sprinkle the powder after each slice, or does the machine somehow do it? How would the machine make an even layer of powder?

I can't make it up from the pictures, but most printers just trow a pile of powder on top of the last layer and flatten this with an arm. But I think this video will show it much more clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9-QEo-qDk (take a look from 1:50).

Why doesn't the powder stick to the print head, or get pushed around unevenly by the print head?

Because the print head never touches the powder. Just like it doesn't touch the paper in your inkjet printer.

Why doesn't the powder fall out during printing?

Check the video ;)

YouTube comments are the funniest on the Internet, this is fact.
> Funny how the Samsung apologists have gone from saying "of course it's not a copy, they had these designs before Apple" to "what else could they do?". This defence of plagiarism as being somehow in the better interest of consumers is laughable. "intellectual property is first and foremost intended to protect users"? What have you been smoking?

Intellectual property has always been a temporary monopoly granted to provide economic incentives to inventors/writers/what-have-you for societal advancement.

Quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property#Objective...:
"The stated objective of most intellectual property law (with the exception of trademarks) is to "Promote progress."[12] By exchanging limited exclusive rights for disclosure of inventions and creative works, society and the patentee/copyright owner mutually benefit, and an incentive is created for inventors and authors to create and disclose their work."

That said, I don't like your tone. Arguing, for or against a position does not make one an apologist.
That's a fairly special case though right? The most common concern I hear (other than it's just too complicated) is privacy concerns. People are asking "why does Google want my cell"? What else is that number used for?

It does. It happens all the time. Most victims don't have the luxury of writing a wired article about it and are stuck picking up the pieces on their own.

No, but I have an HSBC RSA dongle in my laptop bag.
Exactly! This article brings up a lot of anecdotal evidence to build up stereotypes. This should ring all kinds of alarm bells. It is a propaganda piece with little basis on reality.
The problem is Samsung did not look at the iPhone and say, let's build a UI based on icons the width of a finger, swipes for navigation, and simplify as much as possible. Instead they copied non essential elements to leach off of the iPhone brand. Copying limits you to making a poor imitation of the original. But, inspiration allows you to put scroll bars on both sides of the phone, because they are non functional so why not as it might be better.
4chan doesn't create stuff any more, maybe back in ~2004 when it was the "primary" location to find "internet culture" that was true, but nowadays it's spread out all across the internet. Even the majority of things credited to 4chan didn't "start" at 4chan.

> Having worked for a couple of years in Germany, one thing that struck me is taxes came to almost 50% of my salary.

Are you sure, you didn't mean statutory deductions? Contributions to health, unemployment, and annuity insurance are no taxes.
>The only "huge negative impact" that I can see from this is pushing the hardware manufacturers to innovate harder and do better with the use and distribution of the software.

MS can't have it both ways unless they want to become Apple. You can't ask an OEM to innovate and take most of their profits away in a race to the bottom market. It's simply not fair.

MS is going to have to make a choice in the future of who they want to become. They can't slam Google a year ago for what they are doing now.

I'm not sure how MS can find a way out but they had better do so soon because the future is being decided during MS's conflicted beliefs and the risk is greater than just losing Windows dominance.
Why is it cheaper to build the factory in your country? Instead of paying with a devalued currency, you could simply pay less Euros? Same for buying local vs foreign cars - I just don't see how the currency makes a difference (or the possibility to devalue the currency).

Let's stick to olives: either you get x Euros for a pound of olives, or y Drachmes. In the end, if you want to buy a car, you have to exchange the Drachmes into Euros. You should get exactly x Euros for y Drachmes. Otherwise there would be an opportunity to get infinite olives for free. So it doesn't matter how much you devalue the Drachmes, you'll always get the same amount of Euros per pound of olives.
being German myself, I cannot agree more. I was sometimes wondering if the author of this article was in the same country that I left. But I have seen this tendency before: people who visited Germany in the 60s, 70s and 80s have a "mental picture" of Germany that only partially fits reality. The structural unemployment is still very high, the educational system is a mess, the tax rates and regulations are borderline insane.

Also it looks like they won't be having the Play Store, meaning that for many (most?) Android title won't work with Ouya.

The banks are very well looked after, billions after billions of tax payer money are used to bail them out of their problems. I think for the banks just lending as much as they can makes perfect sense. They have no risk in this modern age.

Android game development would bring so much more people since it could be done from Apple, Windows, Linux, etc! First time programmers prolly won't end up selling games since its their first try and its going to prolly suck, the good thing is that they will learn how to think while coding.
You can print out more than 10, but only 10 are valid at any given time. There's a link at the bottom of the page with the codes to generate 10 more. I suspect they do this so people don't print out 1000 only to be using 10 (or less) at any given time.

I don't get it. NetAxept appears to be some kind of payment processor for web shops; certainly not something a bank would use for its internal processing.

It would be the height of stupidity for Mastercard and Visa to allow banks to issue cards with their labels and then have these cards be part of some secret "strictly Northern Europe" Mastercard/Visa network. Talk about confusing the customers.

But this is all moot: I have both Mastercard and Visa debit cards issued in Sweden. They work perfectly well outside of Europe...

Not even these question:

Aren't we as tech people completely and utterly failing the world at large when the best possible response to this story is to turn on 2 factor auth on one of the many accounts a person has?

Is a very slight reduction to the attack surface really the best we can do?

Seriously?
A bit off topic:

I think I'm pretty much in the same situation as Nafis. I'm majoring in Electronics and have a passion for computers.

Only difference is, tuition is quite cheap here in India (around $5000 for 4 years). So, small freelancing projects help me sustain.

Though the quality of education here is questionable. One year into college, all I have learnt is
* Stuff as much portions you can during the term
* Write the exact things from the textbook on your exam
* Forget or vaguely remember it in the holidays

That's not really what I hoped for. Hopefully, it gets better over the years...
> if you take moment to consider it, I'm sure you'll realize that you know some people in the same position.

Actually no, I can't think of anyone. Buy an iPod Touch and install Google Authenticator, you will have all the inconveniences of not having a phone but enjoy the security benefits of two-factor authentication.
For massively distributed and parallel algorithms, a core part of the computer science is based around space decomposition data structures. If your algorithm is not based on a space decomposition structure, it won't linearly parallelize across a vast number of cores. When I say some algorithm won't distribute or parallelize, this is what I am usually (but not always) looking at.

Space decomposition structures take a metric space and decompose it using an invariant space partitioning function. The partition points are fixed regardless of data distribution, the only decision process is when to apply the partitioning function.

The two well-known examples in literature are quad-trees and distributed hash tables. These are both very simple, narrow examples of space decomposition structures in a universe of possible metric spaces and possible partitioning functions. Many parallel data problems can't be made to fit into the simple space decomposition structures computer scientists are familiar with.

When massively parallel machinery is the foundational assumption, every computational structure must be represented in terms of space decomposition primitives. Right now, most computer scientists treat space decomposition structures as dumb data buckets and are largely oblivious to their expressiveness. Most published parallel algorithm computer science is based on computational structures that will only sort of parallelize on sufficiently small systems.
Oh, sure - I just find it really annoying when upstream developers hard-code irrelevant details or use something like autoconf poorly and then the distribution gets blamed for not remaining in stasis.
Is it me, or am I the only one getting tired of hearing his name in the news?
Here's why I don't use two-factor authentication for my Google accounts.

It's not worth it.

I don't run a business. I'm not a celebrity. I don't keep confidential information in my e-mail. And I don't register all of my various accounts at sites around the web to just one e-mail address. If someone got access to one of my e-mail accounts it would probably be a general-use one, and quite honestly it wouldn't affect me much.

It's also annoying to have to verify every time I log in. I probably log in more often than most people. When my browser session ends, all my cookies, cache and history are erased (not because i'm paranoid, but to help guard against CookieMonster, history probing and similar attacks on sites that don't do secure browsing right). Even though it may only be occasionally, having to go find my phone to authenticate the login takes away from my browsing experience, and I don't find the tradeoff worth the hassle.

It doesn't help that Google's authenticator medium is SMS. As a hacker, I find there's way too many avenues to intercept the token (not the least of which is an already-logged-in Google Voice session!). I like the idea of using a YubiKey, but if I have to stick the device into my computer, it's annoying. I prefer plain-old tokens like RSA's SecurID or the PayPal token (I got mine when it was still only $5). But it's not automatic. I have to do a bunch of work to set it up, and i'm lazy.

At the end of the day, even once you set up two factor, a good attacker will still get past it if they really want to. Separation of accounts will go a lot farther towards keeping your digital self safe than putting all your eggs into a two-factor single-account Google basket.

Edit: This post has encouraged me to pay the $20 for Bank of America's SafePass Card, which I consider to be much more secure than an app or sms.

... Currently, most of the information that would be needed to calculate DebtRank or any other similar measure is simply not public.

That's why this idea won't work - banks simply don't disclose their risk levels.

And the article's title is misleading: Google is not building an algorithm to avert financial crises. A team of European physicists and economists created an algorithm (called "DebtRank") based on the PageRank algorithm to identify patterns that could potential lead to a financial crisis. (But, again, the "DebtRank" algorithm needs more data that's not publicly available.)
You're absolutely right, but I think you're understating the issue. DavidChouinard and csomar also have good points.

There are clients who want to hire good developers for a lot of money and those who want to hire good developers at university who don't know how much they're worth yet for peanuts. That's not always bad, I've had at least one great client in that category, but it's not lucrative—granted you may have to take what you can get.

Nonetheless, OP: I urge you to aim higher than "work for cheap" and please please please reword your acquisition letter to sound more like "I'm a good developer but I didn't have a portfolio so I made these things," rather than, "it will be a big risk taking me on"—maybe to them it will seem like a risk, but you know better!

As somebody living in Argentina and born in the US, I should have no appreciation whatever for your modesty :P but I do, since I think my first cold emails to potential clients went something like yours: honest, but embarrassingly modest. But I soon learned that toning down the modesty is a great way to get more clients and charge them more (seriously, you'd be surprised how high your rate can get, even as a relatively untried uni kid).

So this is what business people mean when they say programmers need to understand business?

No. This is the thinnest sliver of a fraction of what business people think hackers should know about business. See the link above to the "outline of marketing," for example. Just marketing is a huge discipline with a very large body of knowledge... add in distribution, support, finance, business development, sales, etc., and there's a whole world of knowledge that a lot of programmers don't generally have.

Apart from not knowing the exact nomenclature, it's embarrassing if programmers don't know these things. It's pretty much common sense.

Sure, at the 60,000 foot level. But the devil is in the details.

Seriously, as popular as it is for hackers to mock "business people" and MBAs and business school, do you really think that business school doesn't exist for a reason? You think these guys just sit around and spew bullshit at each other all day, graduate, then go on to run successful, real-world businesses?

Business, especially at scale, is fracking complicated. And a successful technology company can't be all about just technology OR just "the business." You really need a holistic approach (which means somebody, or multiple somebodies have to understand the big picture) where technology and the "business side" complement each other.

So, when will business people understand software development?

Ya know, it would almost be fair for the business people to ask "when will software developers understand software development?" We, as a group, still don't do a good job of giving good estimates and delivering things that work reliably without constant hand-holding and patching. But, to be fair, that's often back to ill-defined requirements and unreasonable schedule pressure, which still - IMO - argues for the need for a holistic understanding of what's going on - that is, a shared understanding that's common to the "business people" and the hackers.

In fact, I almost wish we could get away from making the distinction "business people" and "technology people" (or "hackers") and drop the antagonistic, adversarial atmosphere that often seems to exist.
"They" would be the hardware manufacturers that load Android up with UIs that lower the quality of the user experience. And I would argue that the financial viability of any consumer device depends on the quality of the user experience. How much data will you collect if nobody buys your product because the competition is so much more usable?

I would also argue that any consumer device manufacturer should consider the longer term, in which said consumers are becoming more educated in privacy and security. I mention those two because, amongst others, they're impacted by data collection and manufacturer apps that cannot be uninstalled.
Even if it is just a way to try new technologies...it's a huge mistake to think that aggregation/visualization/analysis, even at this relatively simple level, is "without any real purpose." Such big picture views can be as valuable as the datapoints used to compose them.
Ahh, ok. With the Ge.tt API you receive a token which is stored in local storage. So the pass is never stored locally.
Hey there, Great showcase of your skills. It shows great UX, presentation, some fu with git and getting stuff out in the wild. Shows some great initiatives!
