"the looters in the article are bankers and CEO's"
"ooters in Atlas Shrugged are government and people on
welfare"

But sir (or madam!), I believe you repeat yourself here.

In all seriousness, I think that Rand would've been pretty annoyed at what's come to pass--the capitalist fetishism espoused in works such as Atlas Shrugged does not take kindly to those that do not actually generate capital and wealth.

Also, you are strictly incorrect about the looters in Atlas Shrugged: one of the largest groups of looters (embodied in James Taggart and his cohorts) in the novel are the businessmen who use lobbyists to further their companies and stifle competition. This should, incidentally, seem somewhat familiar to anyone watching the news for the past decade.
Because while(1) still has a condition that is checked on every loop iteration when optimizations are disabled. for(;;) can be read as "forever".

I haven’t in a decade or more, but I am personally stoked to do this when it’s absurdly easy — and share with people in my life, too.

Also consider that digital photos are probably lost a lot more often than physical photos.
I agree with paying the bills, but if you opt for Riak to start and grow to need multi-site support, not even having a ballpark price can be an adoption turn off. Then again, prices which are too high can also be an adoption turn off :)

By the way, I had a teacher (J.P Reveilès) who had invented the theoretically fastest drawline algorithm ever: he simply figure out that, for a line, there is a pixel pattern which repeat itself (unless the variation is a transcendental number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number) so you only have to compute that pattern once and copy/paste it. If I remember well, for example, a line which has a variation of 1/4, has a 4-pixel wide pattern only!

His discrete line equation is relatively beautiful (it is easily extractible from Bresenham's algorithm however): 0 ≤ ax − by < ω
In this case "extract maximum returns for the early investors" means that a whole lot of people got ripped off.

The notion that "the modern IPO is chiefly about giving early investors and staff an exit ticket" is a near perfect example of how "Silicon Valley, I hate to say it, has its head so far up its ass that it's eating its own bullshit."

The investors purchasing Facebook at IPO and after are not looking to reward early investors or hand some sweet exit to a founder.. they are looking for a return on their investment dollars.

If this is the prevailing attitude regarding the purpose of capital markets in Silicon Valley, I would be shocked if the IPO market for new tech stocks didn't shrivel up and die in the next (last?) few months.

How odd that there is an excellent article sharing the front page about American "Looterism" replacing American Capitalism.

That makes it even more puzzling that they would put so much focus on having the English language dominate the redesign.
The bulk of the damage was done as a result of the breach in Apple's security - all the Amazon breach did was give the attacker the last 4 digits of a card, which is not super private anyway. It isn't 100% fair - and to be clear, processes at both companies were pretty poor - but I don't think people are out to get Apple here.

And, while Apple is very good, they are nowhere near perfect - especially when it comes to online services. Apple fans playing the victim card for them is just as tiring as people jumping all over them when they slip up.
The root of my argument though is that as Silicon Valley know-it-alls we assumed the world would gawk in awe of our amazing creation and throw money at us, which it did not. It's a shame you can't buy put's on that, because THAT would have been worth it. :)
They are already putting radars into higher end luxury cars as part of their cruise control systems. Granted, google cars involve a good bit more than those systems, but I am fairly confident that the usual trend of features trickling down into normal consumer cars will continue.
Enthusiasm doesn't constitute arguments though.

Quoth Wikipedia:

"Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction."

If you can't loose, and hooking up random input to the game solves it after a while, how can you consider that challenge? Is it really enough to say "we have more content waiting for you, and challenge you to find it by either deliberately or randomly mashing buttons" -- ?

For example, Monkey Island is a great story, and I still adore it; but in the way I would remember and like a movie, not in the way I remember playing Speedball or Empire Deluxe as a kid.

Those enthusiasts you mentioned, do they keep playing these games over and over and over, like a Chess enthusiast would? Is there any measure by which one could say they improved, until they mastered it? I doubt both. So that they're nostalgic about something that they have long sucked dry, just reinforces my point about that not even being a game. I mean yes, skipping over the cracks in the sidewalk is also a game, but come on..
People expect security measures to be correlated to
potential damage. Articles are focusing on Apple because
they exhibited the largest gap between expected and actual
security measures.

Using nearly-public information, the attacker was able to
convince a human to grant access to the victim's account,
and therefore to destroy the victim's data.

If the compromise of an iCloud account had merely given the
attacker access to the @me.com address, I don't think Apple
would be receiving nearly as much bad press. Email accounts
are compromised all the time, usually with no more damage
than some spam mail sent to friends.

Similarly, if the attacker had gained remote-wipe ability by
some elaborate deception, customers would be more willing to
cut Apple a break. Suppose Apple accepted passports as a
recovery mechanism, and the attacker showed up to an Apple
store in person with a forged US passport. That would sell a
lot of newspapers, sure, but Apple would be blameless.
Ah, but the thing is, Greeks then find it massively easier to get out of debt to the other Euro nations.

Inflation has been called "austerity done right".
No, that's wrong, the only way an initial overvaluation hurts pre-IPO investors is if the stock gets delisted, or the market is so offended that it starts caring and undervalues the company. Otherwise, employees are just fine; Since the market doesn't care, it gives them fair value when they have a chance to sell. They lose out on cashing out during the over-valuation period, but that was just free money for those that pulled the strings, pre-IPO investors and Facebook management that could sell at IPO

The only people hurt by the initial overvaluation were the people that bought high. Everybody else wins or is neutral. Everybody. Again, unless the market starts caring about retribution and undervalues them. Otherwise everybody gets exactly what the market will give them.

The ibanks, Zuckerburg, and initial investors that sold on IPO day or shortly after, all win by a huge margin. They pulled the wool over lots of people's eyes; perhaps not intentionally, perhaps they honestly believed their own bullshit, but in any case their irrational exuberance hurt them not one bit.

I haven't read through all the comments but standardized and unbiased copy writing would really benefit the site. "Promise to inform about data requests" gets a plus while "No transparency on law enforcement requests" get a minus.

Both labels could be changed to "Notification of data requests", and a user would have the benefit of knowing you were comparing the same thing across multiple sites.

As it stands it's hard to compare a sites rating.

Another (possibly more prominent) example: Github has "You don't grant any copyright license to github", right below that SoundCloud has "You stay in control of your copyright", and below that 500px simply has "Ownership".

Assuming those all refer to the same thing (owning your data/copyright), a simple, "Copyright ownership" would be much clearer and unbiased copy.

Hmm. Reminds of a comment I just read here on HN. Trying to put my finger on it... :)
Does Apple do in-store password resets? I'm thinking with their retail presence this would be a good solution. If you want your password reset come into the store with a photo-ID and the physical credit card on your account. Doesn't get much better than that. I realize not everyone has an Apple Store nearby but many do.

Geeklist Is Raising $1M to Build the Center of the Geekosphere
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I'm not the designer, but recognize this for what it is - a thought piece that obviously required some fairly significant effort to put together. Some items have issues as you point out, but there are also some very intelligent ideas here and that was the point - to put something out there credible for discussion.
I agree with your point about every techcrunch etc saying what 'facebook NEEDS to do' - as if you can judge the failure/success of a company 3 months post IPO on the value of a stock.

I continue to disagree with you about this fucking Zuckerberg/Employees etc. They have turned paper money into real money. They have lost - psychologically - some unreal money in their freeze period (BTW I was not aware of this, I am much more familiar with Australian securities law).
The ~70 Billion of shares from outside investors (Guestimate, I don't know how much stock was retained by employees) - has capitalised the company however, and these are the people who are getting b*tchsplapped by the invisible hand.

With regard to IPO as you are preparing to grow - yes. But that just highlights the nature of IPOs in a bubble. As another poster said, they have managed to significantly capitalise the company despite the fact that rational investors have subsequently brought the share price back to something that (they consider) is more properly the fair value.
the idea that a shareprice should skyrocket post IPO is a fallacy that goes against the Efficient Market Hypothesis - i.e. that in the long run you can't achieve returns that are greater than the average market return. This same fallacy is what most 'uninformed' investors are investing in the market under - and it is the existence of these investors that allows informed investors to make a killing on their behalf - in this case, Merrill (and assumably lots of others) by shorting the stock.
"One last tidbit, recruiters don’t read blogs. Surprisingly, Pete’s inbox has continued flowing since the initial honeypot email post — roughly one ping every 31 hours — with no signs of dwindling."

I recently switched jobs and found that simply turning my Monster and Dice profiles to public/looking for a matter of days resulted in months (and still going) of backlogged pings from recruiters. I'm not so sure if it that they don't read blogs as it is that many of them exist at the end of some weird data pipeline I don't quite understand.
I do doubt that even for a for(;;), a jmp (x86) is use instead of a conditional jump like jz.

I think having to re-enable remote wipe on each device after a password reset would be a reasonable compromise.

Make "race mode" cost money then. Cheap enough that an occasional race is not ridiculous, but expensive enough that it is not practical for a commute.
It probably wouldn't be an incredible advantage anyway. Your car could drive much faster if it knew exactly what every car around it was planning on doing.

Go there and pick "nameserver" and then plug in one of these silly names. The whois request you're running is ambiguous at that level, so you get back both those nameserver substring matches and the domain itself.

Retaining the horizontal resolution and screen size was a wise choice. Apps usually have content that users scroll vertically. So most apps won't have to change their assets for the new iPhone. Games, however, do not use the native UI elements so they probably will be problematic.

I am not an iOS developer though. Perhaps someone who knows better can explain what impact this resolution/size change will have.
Why do people write while(1) instead of for(;;)? Are you saying that "while(1)" is superior in some way? Why?

I prefer "for(;;)" because it is explicitly defined as an infinite loop, but "while(1)" needs an implicit cast of "1" to "true", and even then there's an implicit test for "true".

> Getting your article on the front page is a very big deal.

I'm sure it is. If I wrote that article that is. If on the other hand I just walked in through a front door it is as useful as a book of the month featured in a local library. It is essentially a random pick.

> The FA process is one of the primary drivers of editorial quality on the site.

Hold on. So you are saying that if it weren't for a carrot of being featured on the front page, the Wikipedia editors would've not been putting as much effort into polishing the articles as they do now. This is simply not true.
Well said. You're exactly right. I didn't cover it, but the larger concern I have here is that this misguided approach could lead to distrust from wall street of any tech IPO's that aren't enterprise, or low/mid cap.
I think it's most likely this wasn't reverse engineered, but was somehow leaked by an engineer at Apple. But, if you wanted to try, you can open the simulator binary in a text editor (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhone Simulator) where you'll find a bunch of strings towards the bottom, including:

* minVersion
* capabilities
* width
* height
* eagle
* giraffe
* forceEagle
* forceGiraffe
* canTether
* homeOriginX
* homeOriginY
* homeOriginXHalfsize
* homeOriginYHalfsize
* productFamily
* monkey
* dogcow
* squirrel

I'm not sure how one would have known to look there, but once you do it's kind of obvious that eagle/giraffe are related to customizing some sort of width/height. Based on the other strings, they definitely belong in the .plist, so it's pretty straightforward to figure things out.

I have no idea what squirrel, monkey, and dogcow are for.

Apps that have scrollable views such as Twitter should be able to automatically expand to fill the screen and look good.
For some reason looking at photos on a screen is just not the same as looking at a printed picture. There's something organic about looking at printed pictures that takes you away. I remember how much fun it was to look at photographs (printed ones..) when I was younger. I'm 25 now and rarely get to do that any more.

Maybe it has to do with how much time it takes to flip a page ? Meaning that we look at pictures in less detail now because we like hitting the "Next" button..

Or maybe it has to do with the fact that things that are digital don't feel that 'real' ?

Also, there is the case where you want to put up pictures of your loved ones around you. Those would need to be printed as well.

I know that this is probably the wrong forum to bring these feelings up in, but I'm 100% sure that my parents and older people definitely feel this way.

That's probably where the market lies.
When was that? I created f7u12 three years ago.
Ubiquity and response time matter. I live in Los Feliz, a popular LA neighborhood full of lots of 20 and 30 somethings with disposable income. It's nigh impossible to hail a cab here. In fact, outside of NY and the downtown business districts of a few other major American cities at certain times of day, "cab on demand" basically doesn't exist. If I want to go out without driving on Friday night, I use an app like Taxi Magic to request a cab, then wait somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes for a cab driver who speaks relatively poor English, has never heard of the bar I'm going to, needs me to provide turn-by-turn directions the entire way, misses our side-street repeatedly, and then is annoyed that I'm paying with a credit card.

Imagine instead being able to use an app where, in any urban area, you can have a car sitting in front of your house in 3-5 minutes, with reasonable mileage rates, exact GPS coordinates preprogrammed, and no haggling over tip and payment method at the end of the ride.

Speaking as half a couple paying $1000 a month in car payments, car insurance, maintenance and gas, this is going to fundamentally change the calculus for private car ownership in America.

This could simply be a result of Apple switching to a responsive layout system with iOS6. This correlates with the new automatic layouts you can create in Interface Builder (if you're the sort to use it, and which themselves could correlate with an increasing screen size ;)) There have been as many icon layout changes as there have been major iOS versions - at least, within SpringBoard itself.

I'll gladly eat my doubt if they do end up making the screen taller.

As an aside, did it bother anybody else that the author put the vertical pixel count before the horizontal count?

It's one of several things that could happen (fire, flood, burglary, other natural disasters depending on where you live etc., lots of ways to lose all data at a location).

But yes, I mean it literally. Insurance may pay to replace your house. But a portfolio of a few years of work, the text of your half-finished novel, photographs of your children growing up, the final e-mails you exchanged with your uncle who died of cancer? No insurance money will ever replace those.
Probably a lead generation system; a friend of mine just told me the same story. I'm a little surprised that these systems don't have some kind of staleness or backoff mechanism such that you're still receiving pings.
I think the title "Epic Hack" is justified. Not epic in terms of the skills and technologies used to pull it off but epic in terms of the impact on the hackee. Whether you gain access to someone's apartment by rappelling from the roof, disabling the electronic alarm system, and picking the lock on the balcony door or merely by using social engineering on the building supervisor the result is the same.

I think that denigrating the significance of these "low sophistication" attacks is fundamentally the same error as venerating the importance of single-points of technological complexity independent of the end-to-end security of a system. It makes it easier to change the response from "oh crap, we got hacked so hard!" to "well, we just got socially engineered, ANYBODY can do that, no big deal". Social engineering is going to remain firmly in the "epic hack" category for the foreseeable future, even in a future age of quantum computers, synthetic consciousness, and ubiquitous use of one-time-pad encryption.
I think the description of it as epic refers to the amount and nature of the damage done, not the technical accomplishment. We expect that someone might be able to hack our online accounts, but that they could hack our online accounts and then use that to reach into our homes to nuke data off of our hard drives is different.
You could just say while(true). And I'm not sure that the test for true is implicit, since that is what while() explicitly does.
