My understanding is they don't just want to question him, they're at the stage they want to charge him. You can't really do that over video conference.

[edited to change 'prosecute' to 'charge']
Protocol aside is there anything significantly different in the way blackberry handles BBM messages and Apple handles iMessage messages?
I'm not sure Hnolable if you did the down vote on TazeTSchnitzel but either way it seems very inappropriate. You're taking a complicated situation and assuming you know all the facts and the motivations. That's presumptuous because it is impossible for you to know. There's nothing in the comments by OP that isn't a fair assumption.
Isn't APNS based on XMPP? But regardless of how APNS works, isn't it just acting like a multiplexer?
The story of Iceland is not Keynesianism vs Austerity. Rather it is about default (which is not what is generally advocated by keynesians) vs. making bond holders (especially politically privileged ones) whole by any means necessary (money printing, favored by keynesians or austerity favored by chicago school types.)

Iceland went full default and appears to have done well because of it. Greece has moved slowly into default-lite and is doing much worse. There are an infinite number of other variables at play (I think culture is particularly significant, for example) but it does offer some evidence for the full-default/reset approach.
It appears that many airports have gotten rid of lounges, or have super limited hours on them.

I was flying through Philly and almost got stuck there overnight. It looked like my options were to get a ~$150/night hotel that was near the airport (no vouchers available since it was 'weather related' despite no bad weather) or just sleep in the airport.

I had tried asking if there was a way I could get access to the lounge. The answers I got seemed to indicate there either wasn't one, or it wasn't open overnight, or perhaps I just couldn't pay to get access. Unsure. But I wasn't getting in a lounge either way.

Thankfully, I got a flight back to Cleveland instead of CAK because the flight to Cleveland was running 2 hours behind (perfect for me) and I had a coworker pick me up there instead.
Great stuff, love TR, should be read by all entrepreneurs and my kids too. But I would point out, snark off, that the Man in the Arena in ancient Rome was a slave, butchering another slave while rich citizens watched.
But according to Swedish law Assange cannot be charged until after this second round of questioning. If you search this document [0] for 'charge' you'll see that Swedish law is very different from US and UK laws where being formally charged happens very early in the legal process. From what I've gather in Swedish law once you are charge formally you go very quickly to court.

Nice work! As a native English speaker I am lucky that the rest of the world works in my language, but it shouldn't have to be that way.

But why js-i18n? Shouldn't "Localized Javascript" be called js-l10n?
from the article:

It's built into the normal iPhone texting application and turned on by default. When my Mom texts another Apple user, iMessage will automatically route her message over the Internet. She doesn't have to approve this, and honestly, probably won't even know the difference.
This is regarding apps for the UK. AFAIK, it's still illegal for financial institutions in the US to process transactions coded as gambling.
> "it's the time to be, it's time for myself"

This seems like a weird and arbitrary use of the word be that is not defined in the dictionary that I have. So I do not understand what it is you are saying.

When it's time for myself I like to use my smartphone. Because it's interesting to me. I can read interesting articles, I can distract myself with books, catch up on emails and online discussions. I like these things. I can also choose to not use my smartphone if I'm not interested in what my phone has to offer. Owning a smartphone does not mean I am required to use it, but not owning a smartphone makes it impossible to use one if you wanted to.
For most of the websites, currently on the web, I don't think AppEngine or Heroku is the right choice - they enable you to grow from nothing to millions of requests in seconds - but I can't think of many sites that have this issue.
10 hours? At my old company new hires would thrash around at least for 6 months.

And yet we made oomples and oomples of money.
EDIT: I didn't understand how Swedish law work. See AndrewDuck's reply. But still, they could interrogate him by videoconference (what Assange offered) or charge him in absence.

He hasn't been formally charged of any crime. If they want to prosecute him, they should charge him of something.
There's even a 64-bit, working distribution (with binary if you trust it) for OS X: http://almy.us/teco.html

I am running it, with the list of commands open, and I have no idea how to use it but I see that it comes with a complete manual, and introduction, and a list of commands.

And I had one of those "what in the world am I doing?" moments. Seriously. I have code that actually excites me that I'm writing and is coming along well, and I'm learning TECO?

I'm coming back to it later, though, because it's a fun salute to a great guy, and because using a punch-card-oriented editor for any task today would amuse me immensely.
Wonder how that works with companies that I'm sure do get chargebacks a lot, but are huge? Car rental companies come to mind.
I'm a new account. I have 13 pts. I can't downvote.

His comment was very uninformed. So I pasted 3 links which are a quick way for him to get up to speed on the things that most people are not made aware of by the media covering the whole fiasco.
I agree, and can't help but question the claims he will be extradited to the US from Sweden, since if he was going to be extradited from anywhere it would be the UK.
For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

As someone else has pointed out, it's an irrelevant protocol until it's made an open protocol. This will join the pile with FaceTime, iBooks, etc, that exist merely to lock people into Apples 'garden'. People should want to use your platform, not be forced to remain there cause they have to. Provide an open protocol, and make people want to use your products because you have the best implementation of it.
Bear in mind that your telco can absolutely read your SMS messages, and does not need to play games with a CA to do so.
Really cool. It would be really useful though if I could sort the results, for example, by album/track number. Seems like a REALLY useful service nonetheless. Congrats.

EDIT: Also, sometimes people combine multiple songs into one youtube video, for example http://youtu.be/J0FawK4G_AY They seem to show up in your player as only the first song. This is a lot more complicated then my first suggestion, but some sort of detection of that (and maybe the possibly more common case of full album videos) would help save some confusion when users play one song and get another one for free. (BONUS!)

EDIT2: Also, allowing only one video for any given song has issues, for example, when the first result is a live video or otherwise bad quality. Maybe just a right click menu that lets you select "See alternate videos"?
Thanks! I'll have to do some more work on getting it to work right on Firefox. It is a little different since FF doesn't have native h.264 support so it goes to a Flash fallback. I wanted to make it easy, so that you would just have one source video, rather than do the .ogg/.webm cascade. So...I'll have to work a little more on getting the flash fallback player to scale better/faster.
(Responding mostly because the parent is currently the top-rated comment)

Many travelers undoubtedly fit the parent's description and budget. I don't think it's helpful in this discussion about sleepbox to focus on that. I can certainly see the appeal for people who might be feeling a little more vulnerable (women for example), more willing and able to pay for some extra comfort, or both.
Never used Spotify before, but the screen shot you just posted looks just like iTunes to me.
If this guy is as completely incompetent as he claims (and claims, and claims, and claims again) then why should we listen to anything he says (though it's terribly embarrassing for him, but apparently he's going to say it in public anyway)?

Linkbait oxmoronic title is linkbait and an oxymoron. Endless false modesty is nauseating. Articles like this have little value. Links to articles like this belong on another forum. And comments like the one you're reading are necessary once in a while, but now I'm going back to doing something more constructive.
Neat idea!

He's spent more time struggling to avoid jail time than he would spend in jail in Sweden if convicted, in a relatively low security prison likely to have quite decent accommodation and amenities. This isn't like the US where he'd risk years in some horrible shithole.

I'd be surprised if he got more than 6 months if convincted - there's been people convicted for violent rapes in substantially worse circumstances that have gotten less than two years.

Maybe his ego won't allow him to face a possible conviction or something, or maybe he genuinely is afraid - whether justified or not - of being handed over to the US.

But it just doesn't make sense to go to this level of effort "just" to avoid a Swedish prison sentence given the relatively low level of the alleged crimes.

(EDIT: quiet => quite)
Who knows. Perhaps if we could go back and prevent something we would cause another accident somewhere else.
I see.

Do you know if messages are encrypted from device-to-device on BBM or if they are just encrypted to the hub like I message seems to be
That's not how Swedish law works.

From Wikipedia:
"Assange has not yet been formally charged with any offence;[35] the prosecutor said that, in accordance with the Swedish legal system, formal charges will be laid only after extradition and a second round of questioning. The High Court found that the Swedish process has reached the stage of criminal proceedings, which would be equivalent to having been charged under English process.[36]"
What he is being investigated for would be considered rape pretty much anywhere in the western world. He is being investigated for having sex with a person that was asleep after she had expressed she did not want to have sex with him without a condom. That means no consent was given and would be rape pretty much anywhere.
Basically, one of these:

From the Macworld article of the same day it was pretty clear that you needed to be part of the Apple developer program:

http://www.macworld.com/article/1165408/mountain_lion_hands_...

The Ars Technica article also is pretty clear:

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/02/developers-gatekeeper-a...

If there is confusion it may have been from reading more into what Gruber wrote than was actually there.

The Gatekeeper certificates are free to registered developers, but I don't Apple ever suggested that you didn't have to be part of the Apple Developer Program.

Nice work tho.
Looks great but I'm having issues with it in Chrome. Only the text will update. Nothing else changes and when I click to get the code the new page just says "Loading the code..."
I disagree:

If you write your own custom admin for some models or apps then you've either got to write it for all apps or users will have two inconsistant admin interfaces to deal with with a different UI and feature set between them.

So you decide write a custom CRUD for all apps including all those pesky 3rd party ones. To avoid all that boilerplate you write a few bits of code to introspect models and declaratively customize the interface.

Guess what. You've just reinvented contrib.admin with less features and more bugs.

Learning to customize the admin isn't hard and takes surprisingly little code.

In return you get a single consistant UI for all your code.
Thats really cool!

Is the code available somewhere? I'd love to take a look at how the search and the playlist thing works.

I understand the technical issues at hand, and I don't want to dismiss them as being unimportant--because they are important. However, the majority (who are non-technical end users) simply don't care.

Security is great, and everyone wants to know that their text messages are as secure as possible. When it comes to iMessage, however, I've yet to meet a single regular user who counts improved security as a reason to use iMessage. Heck, none of them even think iMessage is more secure than a regular text message.

What do they use iMessage for? It tells you when someone read your text. It tells you when someone is responding. It sends faster than regular text messages and confirms that it's actually been sent. Even more importantly, it allows us to send international text messages for free. As a Canadian being charged $.35 per text to the US (even though US and Canadian numbers formats are identical), this means I don't need to reroute a Google Voice number through 3 numbers just to keep in touch with my US friends.

The selling point of iMessage has never been technical; it's been functional.
"Downgrading your quotas to those of a free app" is not the same as converting it to a free app. Presumably they do that so people with unpaid bills can't keep on burning mondo CPU and disk space (which it doesn't sound like you were doing, but that's almost certainly the reason for the policy).

When they tried to bill your (expired) credit card you already owed them money. They want you to pay it before they'll let you access that account.

I guess I don't see the problem here?
The worst case scenario of a natural disaster is also catastrophic, and they don't even have significant benefits. Nuclear power does, as it doesn't produce greenhouse gasses, and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. And like the other comment said, new types of reactors are completely different and we shouldn't have an irrational fear of nuclear power in general because of accidents like this.
The lounges usually close overnight, so they probably wouldn't have helped in this situation.

However, the AmEx Platinum card will let you get into most lounges (if you're flying that airline that day). This easily makes it worth the annual fee for frequent flyers.
I believe the term you want is "of late", not "off late".
This was sort of a project for me to learn to code, so I borrowed a UI that was suitable. I didn't want to spend much time coming up with a new UI.

I'll redesign the entire UI before launching the update version though.

Apologies to anyone who got offended at the Spotify ripoff.
Yet it's hard to dispute that Assange does a) want to avoid going to jail and b) is a very attention seeking person. At least that comment is no longer down-voted. That ABC/4Corners article you site really isn't credible either if you know Australian media well.
Sometimes showing a working demo is more than 2-3 weeks, especially when I have to integrate into 3rd party components and such. I'm no sure how to work with "sprints"

If you can talk a bit more about what you're trying to deliver and how I might be able to give some pointers. I've never worked with any client where we couldn't get to delivering something useful every week or two.

(Very deliberately ignoring the whole sprint vs flow debate :-)
This should really be an editor feature, something that can automatically replace localized words with english words and later show the localized version when the english version is moused over (or something like that).

Writing the entire codebase with localized words hinders collaboration, and code portability.

But having an editor feature that assists with the (human) language would keep all the localization with just a single user rather than in the entire codebase. Additionally, it would be able to display the english version as well, which could help the foreign user learn by osmosis.
Nice app. But I suspect that this will draw more attention to the possibility of using YouTube as a music service and therefore increase the risk of these videos taken off YouTube.
the title is too sensationalized :)
The money argument doesn't hold; it's $10/year for a domain name and hosting is free on github pages or heroku.
Except it isn't really. They regularly interview suspects outside of Sweden. One of the most recent well known cases is a pair of Polish nationals interviewed in Poland on suspicion of carrying out a double homicide in Sweden. So apparently it's ok to interview alleged murderers outside Sweden, but not Assange.
Yes. But it's interesting because the US is considering legalizing it: "Restrictions on Internet gambling in the U.S. may also ease, as several states, including California, Nevada and New Jersey, are considering legislation to legalize the practice."

I can't understand how it'd be profitable either; it seems woefully underpriced. Unless, as timdorr said, individual items are marked up 10-20%.

When a family like mine goes shopping, it's for a cartful or two of groceries, and it takes an hour just to get all the items. Add travel time and checkout, it can be a whole evening. $3.99 for them to cover all that and bring my order to my doorstep just seems silly.

So I have to wonder if there's a "cart size" limit, or there is a per-item markup, or they just really hope they get small orders!

I'll rephrase:

What more can they say that will change what people will think; sure they can clarify details and what led up to events (what they would do as a witness at trial) but none of that really matters to the public. Their "side of the story" is: we were sexually assaulted by Julian Assange. minor details are of little consequence in public opinion.
For what it's worth, you can make the Arabic translation "more native" by adding a "dir=rtl" attribute to the text area, though it's still not quite right. Or you can leave in in LTR mode and put an LRM (in JS, "\u200e") after each word to make it just look like the English with all the words swapped out.

Both point at the underlying problem that translation is not a matter of just swapping out the words. For example, the mathematical notation that most programming languages rely upon is fundamentally left to right (much in the same way the keywords are English).

Obviously, he is not doing it just to avoid a Swedish prison sentence. He appears to think that if he goes to Sweden, he'll end up going to the US too and once there he'll be "vanished" or worse. I'd say that's not unreasonable given what we've heard from the US already, and the pressure they've been willing to bring to bear on Kim Dotcom (who they're a lot less personally annoyed with than Assange) or the Pirate Bay a few years back.
Yes, I understand that you can't just turn them "off." It's easiest just to say that it's shut off if it's unable to do anything really.

I think you missed everything in my previous post. All new designs passively cool. You can have safe (comparative to coal and gas) nuclear power.
There is nothing preventing a Swedish court from issuing charges in absentia, and there's nothing preventing them from carrying out questioning outside of Sweden. This is smoke and mirrors.

And it's something that has prompted a formal complaint against this prosecutor to the Swedish judicial ombudsman.

Any gains from applying agile will still be barely incremental when compared to addressing the real issue of product development and doing so holistically.

Not to deny the massive importance of the customer/product development side - but I've seen places crash and burn badly when they don't have the core development practices to back them up.

Implementing good old-fashioned XP-ish technical practices can give you considerably more than an incremental change - since without it you can't actually execute your good customer/product dev work.
