Chrome uses them for the "safe browsing" filter. Google HQ makes a bloom filter out of all the blocked websites and sends out the filter occasionally in an update. That way Chrome can test the URL you're about to visit for membership in the huge blacklist without taking much network/disk/memory/CPU. Of course there could be false positives but Chrome only has to phone home to double-check on possible matches. http://blog.alexyakunin.com/2010/03/nice-bloom-filter-applic...
People have been using scented fragrances to cover up both body odor and other odors for thousands of years. I don't believe they had advertising convincing them they smelled bad.

Certainly, the idea of what smells "good" and "bad" is subjective, but as history proves out, I think our societal aversion to odors is 1. deeply seeded and 2. probably practical - if you smell bad, you are likely dirty (and need to wash up)
How To Make Money Off The Animated GIF Comeback
Although there do seem like there are benefits for "laymen" -- paying for something by simply saying your name sounds interesting -- this isn't really directed towards you. Generally, you would likely still use your credit card with it, so your experience wouldn't be much different (positively or negatively).

It's beneficial for business owners who save money by using Square and use various incentives and analytics that come with.

Exactly. The race to the moon was justified by national security, but really there isn't much economic incentive to explore Mars... yet. NASA needs to find good reasons to keep going back.
I think the best reason for wanting to do this is that the rover's top speed is around 2in / second, it requires significant man power on the earth to drive/control, and they have a limited toolset with few ways to augment what it starts with. Over the course of 6 years the two rovers had only covered 13 miles collectively.

All of these things can be overcome with time, money, science, engineering, etc.

In the short term, for a relatively large amount of money -OR- the acceptance of deaths, we can put a human on that same surface who can cover miles per day, autonomously explore and discover, use new tools as soon as they arrive, can deal with unexpected circumstances, and make suggestions about what would be useful to have to do more science/work.

All that said - it is hard issue and I think it more likely a commercial effort will send a human before the government.

Linux oses suck at so many things, why pick media production? Why not become the best enterprise system, or the best browsing system, or the best home media system?
Virtually every paywall implementation has been a dismal failure. One of the greatest ways to get a viral message on the move is to claim that a common service will soon charge (see ICQ, Facebook, MSN Messenger, etc).

Maybe it's a huge issue for you

Except that I've made the opposite painfully clear over and over again. But you apparently thought this would work as some sort of position antidote, pretending that I'm some sort of abnormally cheap person?

I am actually aware of the world around me. I watch how things work. I pay attention. My observations are not personal.
I don't like this move. Why are they trying to mix private info with public info once again? Haven't they learned that people don't like this?
But this isn't the issue at hand.

Apple's claiming that Samsung deliberately copied their trade dress to confuse consumers. Remember, trade dress isn't functionality. It's the look and feel of the product, not the functionality.

It's over things like the color of the slide to unlock mechanism. The choice of icons and placement. Not the fact that you move your finger across the screen in a certain place to unlock the phone.
A Beginner's Crash Course in Content Marketing
For me the most depressing part is that you have what I consider to be a pretty reasonable gap analysis with recommendations that has now become damning evidence showing bad behavior. This is unfortunate. I'd like all companies to profile their own products against others and own up to where they fall short and have plans to get better. If a company says, "Our phone gets only four hours on a charge but their's gets six, we should step it up", that's OK. But if they say, "The date display on the Calendar icon should match the current date on the phone", that's "slavishly copying".

Side note: where did Apple get inspiration for their should a reel-to-reel recorder image in the new podcast app? Slide 121? Answer: I don't know but it shouldn't matter.
Wait, is this the same memo as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4349519 ? If so, jesus, what a link bait title.
"not available on Google Apps accounts"

At least this is a feature I'm not going to be longing after (but seriously, somebody at Google should figure out how to include apps users into previews like these..)
It did sometimes. I think a cookie/IP limit kicked after it detected "you" had created a few accounts.
To everyone who asks questions like, "Why send people when robots are better/cheaper" and "Isn't it too dangerous", I would reply, "Stay here".

It is only a recent phenomenon in human history, in the last few hundred years, that all the places in the world are known. For hundreds of thousands of years, there have always been new lands and oceans for our kind to explore. Indeed, until the last ~20k years, we all existed in a near constant wandering state. Thats how we survived, and the lifestyle is still practiced today, albeit only in very tiny numbers in remote places.

Even with civilized life, i.e. villages, towns, and cities, for thousands of years people have jumped on ships or made years-long treks across oceans and continents to build new lives. Some of this was the desire to be free, or it was forced, or it was from desperation, or it was simply to explore.

Simply because we almost all live in a vastly interconnected world now doesn't mean that any of those reasons have disappeared, or that the kinds of people willing to take such risks have died out. We're still here, if latent, amongst the masses.

Many of us spend our youth traveling the world, climbing the next mountain. Many others lose themselves in vast game worlds where we can, for short times, satisfy the need to explore and build new lives. Some games such as WoW, Eve Online, Secondlife, and Civilization are so popular in part of because of these desires and needs.

So when you ask, "Why?", I say "Why not?". You are free to stay here. I want to go see what's out there.
I feel like gnome and kde is the majority of linux dev community putting all there eggs in one basket. And that's great, but there's also no "board of directors" who will say, "your product sucks." I mean, I grew up and still love gnome2, but I feel now things are starting to change after opinions rage with gnome3. I consider my self in the market for a new window manager and I think I'm gonna have to go with awesome.

I don't like this either; hopefully we can disable it at the very least.

Simpler explanation: Because we can't.

As Neil Tyson says, we can't even accurately predict the weather a week down the road, you want to terraform something?
This is what I love about linux on the desktop, on one thread we've got serious complaints about usability, on another thread we're switching window managers because it won't fit on a CD.

A CD? In 2012? Windows and OS X haven't fit on a CD in almost 10 years and you can barely find a copy of OS X on DVD. Yet the primary concern on linux is not usability but whether it fits on an install CD.

I think there might be higher priority concerns than whether a user is able to install a modern operating system on the Pentium MMX & 8X CD drive they found in the dumpster.
For the US, July was the warmest month we’ve ever seen
All fair points, but it depends on how you determine success. If you measure Linux-based OS'es penetration in the mobile market today, you will find that it 's the biggest player. That's success.

Yes, you have problems with locked bootloaders and closed hardware on some phones, American carrier-phones in particular. This is bad, but no fault of Android.

That most software on Android, a Linux-distro, may be closed source may sadden a FOSS proponent, but it still doesn't mean it's not Linux.

On my Android tablet I can fire up a terminal, hook up a keyboard via USB and then hack away in a Linux userland, using either supplied binaries, or busybox, or other Linux binaries compiled for the ARM architecture. And it will all work.

For lots of tasks where in the past I would need a PC, I no longer do. Because my Linux-based, mobile platform has me covered. If I want to build my own stuff, I can actually use the normal Linux toolchain to do so. I can do all that because Android, either you appreciate it or not, is Linux. There is no debating that.

And right now Android is dominating the mobile space. I think it's fair to say that Linux, in a form you appreciate or not, has succeeded where your traditional DE based Linux-environment has not.
It's definitely not vaporware. I have backed the project, and I'm impressed so far.

The experience is not only necessary for survival, but also will lead to new opportunities. Once there is a market for interplanetary transport, experience will lead to innovations that we can't think of today. One huge example that is already being explored is asteroid mining. Add the business case to the point you made about our species becoming more resilient by turning multi-planetary, and there the case for Mars is strong.
Sometimes it feels like people always have to find a flaw to latch onto and take some meaningless stand on, no matter how irrelevant. I don't know if it's for the fleeting sense of superiority, for the sake of discussion, or (as you put it) because they take themselves too seriously. I value the importance of criticism, but not when its primary motivations are self-serving.

For what it's worth, this is a phenomenon you see in most tech communities -- it happened on slashdot, proggit, and it's present here too.
A: terraforming is slow, but we're trying -- see the Sahara Forest Project

B: the Sahara desert is the biggest rain-shadow in the world. It's between the Atlas Mountains in Morrocco on the north, the Cameroon volcano chain in the southeast, and the Red Sea hills to the northeast. To make things worse, the year-round trade winds prevent Atlantic storm systems from going aground in Africa -- instead we get a hurricane season in Florida. The result is a magical place where it never rains:

If the option is enabled, volume encryption is as good as your encryption password OR Apple ID password + whatever security measures Apple has against someone resetting your password (see recent stories).

If the option is disabled, the encryption is as good as your encryption password, period.

The complaint was that this option is now enabled by default.
Have you actually used ZFS?

* ZFS doesn't include fsck because it doesn't make sense when your FS is guaranteed to be consistent. fsck is for when writes go bad because the window is there for that to happen.

Your claim is like saying a an electric car doesn't make sense because how is the consumer would be confused that it doesn't have a gas tank.

You don't backup ZFS filesystems to tape. I don't know of anyone doing that. It's a weird statement. If you want worst-case-scenario backups, you replicate.

Of course with auto-snapshots setup, and the basic inability of ZFS to become corrupted (IME, never had an issue with v28), you wouldn't be more or less likely to do that as a consumer than you would be to buy an external HDD for your Mac and use TimeMachine.

The only reason it isn't for the typical user is that the typical user doesn't run Solaris or FreeBSD.

* "Never mind that ZFS assumes that hard drives works to spec"

I don't know where you got that. It's actually just the opposite. It checksums everything and includes several facilities to catch early corruption and address it before you ever lose data.

On top of that most ZFS arrays I've worked with are standard 1TB to 2TB SATA systems. Nothing particularly special about the drives. Early on that was one of the big selling points of ZFS. That it was built for commodity hardware.

I personally have pulled the power plug on 24 to 48 disk arrays, literally hundreds of times while under heavy load and have never once lost data.

Not that I haven't run into other issues a few years ago, but data loss due to sudden power loss wasn't ever one of them.

It's almost comically easy to lose data (again, IME) on an ext3/4 system under the same scenarios. That's comparing zero ZFS losses to maybe a dozen of ext losses over the past 3 years.
Unless, you know, you want highly readable text. In which case there's nothing better than pure black, as your text color or as your background (but not both at once, please.)
Very nice and snappy interface. I hope the login screen will eventually get away from a web view (if possible), but overall loving it.
The app looks pretty good, but it would be cool if there was a way to see an overview of your board - from what I can tell you can only see one list/column at a time (even if it was only w/horizontal viewing). It would make dragging things back and forth a little easier.
That makes no sense - there is no security problem with using a legitimate certificate for a real domain for internal purposes.

I haven't heard about these Baseline Requirements before your post, but http://www.cabforum.org/Baseline_Requirements_V1.pdf mentions 2015 but only in the context of reserved IPs and "Internal Server Names", which is defined as "A Server Name that is not resolvable using the public DNS". That makes more sense, because there is no way to say who owns such a domain.

Your point is understandable, but distribution restricted to the size of a CD is a major feature.

It fits right in with the linux way of supporting really old hardware. It's not about the newest and shiniest hardware. Debian is known to be a slow moving but very stable distribution. Support for older hardware (without DVD Reader/Writers) might have been a big point of consideration.

Get a good legal team and do them all for fraud.

If you can show potential losses of over $5000 in a year, then you might even be able to leverage the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act

...
Knowingly causing the transmission of a program, information, code, or command that causes damage or intentionally accessing a computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage that results in:

Loss to one or more persons during any one-year period aggregating at least $5,000 in value. ...

Otherwise, it is still an attempt to misappropriate money by deception, and is plainly both unlawful and illegal.

Ah what is the value to humanity? What is the value to humanity of a stadium, of the Olympics, of a monument, of a great piece of art or a beautiful performance? What is the value to humanity of entertaining blockbuster movies, fun video games, comics and science fiction?

What is the value to humanity of inspiration?

Right now science is held almost in contempt, all its wonders are subtle - appreciable only to the trained mind. Such an accomplishment would be large and obvious. The peripheral effect in inspiring young minds cannot be overestimated. One of those may one day go on to develop powerful DNA repair mechanisms because their imagination was captured at a young age by space travel and wanted to do something useful to that. Let alone the boon to cancers.

They want to travel to and live on another planet with low gravity and scant atmosphere. How could they possibly do that without spurring the invention of a lot of amazing things as a side-effect?

I've mentioned my hypothesis that it would have positive effects on geopolitics by making it possible to view Earth as a locality. But.

Most of all it would at once be an incredible piece of science and the greatest piece of art ever created. For what is art but a celebration of humanity and human ability?

Government declares that the arbitrary denominators of value now buy half the number of a different arbitrary denominators of value they did previously.

Because I am a locovore Luddite (for the sake of the argument), everything I buy is made in the country, with materials produced in the country.

How does the devaluation effect me?
Sending humans is an intrinsic goal, worth accomplishing for itself. It's like producing a great work of art.

(You're wrong to think that the robotic missions can be justified instrumentally. The science being done by Curiosity is kinda interesting, but it's hardly $2.5 billion worth of interesting. We could do much more important science on Earth with that money.)
Would you really? I see all these people say they would volunteer, but I have my doubts. The novelty of being on Mars would wear off in a couple years and the isolation and so forth ... I just don't buy that there are really many people willing to do that.
The problem with translating law is that a lot of the time words are used as "terms of art" that have a special meaning based on tradition or, worse, precedent: some court at some point was forced to decide on the meaning of some very fuzzy word, they came down one way, and now the very fuzzy word has a very precise meaning and lawyers like to use it precisely because it has a precise meaning!

That sort of stuff easily gets lost in translation, which is why legal translation is such a pain to do. And probably a good part of why it took the English courts so long to switch from Law French (an old dialect of Norman French long used for English legal writing) to English.
Sure, give up deduplication, snapshots, raidz, self healing and more for a fuzzy cost/benefit ratio that is based on no data.

Sorry, I meant in the context of the headline "...for the tablet age"...My experience so far has been with Google Spreadsheets through the iPad browser and it is barely functional. Microsoft's offering may be better, but still short of what traditional Excel users are used to.

In any case, Excel/Google Docs have such a strong, relied-upon foundation that even if someone built a great spreadsheet from scratch that was unparalleled for the tablet audience, the risk of being dominated by a sudden entrance of either Microsoft/Google is probably too much to commit the funding that's needed to build the infrastructure to support such a platform.

I think Grid is doing the right thing, but staying away from the business-type spreadsheet...as there are plenty of ways that spreadsheets are useful, even without numbers. I use spreadsheets all the time to plan out projects and take notes, as I know I want to end up adding categories/subcategories/deadline columns that I want to aggregate/sort upon.

People like you and me will have no problem creating a custom install CD that defaults to XFCE to run on our really old hardware.

Normal people will download a debian CD and get XFCE and think that's linux on the desktop.

"Copying in itself is not illegal" Yes, it is! That's what all those design patents, copyrights and registered trademarks are all about. It's morally abject too.

The plagiarism here is blatant though.

Especially in light of Curiosity, why is it assumed that the logical next step after sending a robotic lab is to send a person, rather than sending a few dozen more robots?

Why not both? Humans are infinitely more versatile than a robot, unless of course, you build the robotic equivalent of a human being.
