Yep, what should have been done if you absolutely had to know how it happened (not that bad an idea but for smaller places they don't have the time or money to do it) is take a disk image of the compromised system for later analysis. For right this second, get the site back up on a clean, updated install. You can not trust the existing one now, don't even try.

EDIT: BTW this is also why you should be backing up your data and config files, not a bare-metal image of the system. OS installations are quick and the bare-metal image is just going to put the problem back in place. Remember, you probably do not know exactly when the break-in actually occurred.

I have to wonder if something like this, tied to Google Glasses, might not make a great interface for using the things we do everyday to classify our world for ourselves, into tagged and meaningful links to be reused by others.
As a professional writer, I don't find this very useful. This software doesn't solve any actual problems I have ever had in journalism, book writing, book editing, fiction writing, or blogging. It is not any easier to do all of this in this way than it is with existing tools, except in the end look at what we're left with in your new application... a complete and total disorganized mess. I don't even want to touch that document after you've pulled it apart and screwed it all up like that. There is no substitute for a rewrite.

It seems like this was designed by a software developer who imagined potential problems that writers have, while desperately looking for a cool new way to use multi-touch.

So let me tell you about the actual problems I have as a professional writer. Maybe some/most/all of them are unique to me -- I don't really know.

1. Consistent access to the same documents across multiple devices, without storing them on any one specific device. I have solved this problem with SpiderOak, and by adjusting my file formats and toolsets across all devices.

2. Touchpad keyboards aren't big enough, or accurate enough for me. It is very difficult to write at the speed of thought on a touchscreen device. I can type much faster on a tactile keyboard, and I can always type faster than I can handwrite, even in shorthand.

3. Font hell. When you go to publish something from a word processor or PDF generator, you must have a license for all of the fonts you use. If you want to use open source fonts, that's fine -- maybe even preferable -- but then you have to use a clever font replacement scheme (which doesn't work for me), or embed the fonts in the document. Embedding fonts takes up a huge amount of space, and there is always one you forget (the page numbers in the footer, the title, even places that don't seem to have any text).

4. Character set encoding hell. Special characters don't translate well across multiple applications. Especially if you are writing in Word and pasting into blog software.

As a writer, I want to write. I don't want to learn a new interface. I do not want to use a multi-touch screen because the fastest form of written communication I've ever experienced is already available to me. Not every old paradigm is bad; not every old design is begging for improvement.

I want to have very little hassle when it comes to editing, publishing, and backup/version control. Can you solve that problem for me? Like, make LyX or LibreOffice save to easily accessible yet secure private cloud storage with rollback capabilities, output directly to CreateSpace, Lulu, and other publishing services without having to embed fonts or screw with formatting and templating?
It really depends on the type of tick and the area you live in.. in some places they are harmless, others they are known to carry things that absolutely need treatment...
When, after years of paying premiums into it (net positive for it), the health care system suddenly turned its back on me. When the only recourse for mis-treatment -- even simply to fix the resulting problem; never mind about compensation -- would be to go to court (no matter how ill and incapacitated you are).

This is when I learned that the U.S. is fundamentally unsafe.

P.S. Personal anecdote. Not to compare to nor diminish the very real physical threats that others face.

Ads do seem to be the "default" business model on the web, which is understandable but a bit sad. App.net has an amazing potential around this if they build out their API and developers can use it as infrastructure for inter-app communication. It'd be like an internet-wide "open" enterprise message bus. I'd very much like to see that, and would have liked to have seen Twitter go that route. They have outright rejected that though.

Facebook on the other hand is in a more difficult position short-term, conceptually they're not well positioned for things like payments, etc. But it's hugely encouraging that Zuckerberg is so young and has such a long-term view on Facebook. I'm fairly sure they will figure it out and continue to grow Facebook into something even more amazing than it is now, if the bottom doesn't fall out from beneath them (read: their engineers leave in frustration or boredom).

Single term limits might help.
You've answered your own question. There's nothing stopping anyone from building an aggregator.

But to keep running it, you need money. Ideals are not enough.
Great discussion, a lot of it centered around the difficulty of the clientele screwing up the place. But there are also a lot of assumptions going in which may not hold.

So if you look at AirBnB, one of its 'features' is that all of the renters and sellers are pre-vetted (and yes this doesn't always work but it keeps problem people in the system low). Look at the 'clear' system for pre-screening air travelers.

This sort of automated sleep spot is vulnerable to being trashed, so one solution is to create a signup process where the clients get some sort of identifying token, a key if you will, that allow them to use units.

The Sleepbox folks have a cool futuristic render but they don't seem to have an actual unit. That is a red flag for me but it only means that I won't invest in one until I see one actually 'in production.'

Resupply and restocking is a challenge too, but only if you want fast turn around and low employment costs. You can hire folks to turn over a unit when someone leaves and just be on site the whole time. Depending on occupancy rate and charges will determine if that is feasible.

So there are lots of variables but I don't see that there are any huge barriers to implementing this sort of scheme but I do wonder if there is a working business model in there somewhere.
A person with self respect, I'd imagine. There is no need for this kind of condescending, threatening behavior amongst professionals.
Comic Sans also comes from a pre anti-aliasing era in personal computing. If you viewed it on a 640x480 display with no aliasing, it's actually slightly more readable than other fonts like Times New Roman. See about 3:50 into this presentation:

I don't know of any authoritative resources on radiation->cancer risk, can anyone provide more information? The article starts out with a cool premise but I have a hard time swallowing the linear rem->%chance relationship described here

"If 25 rem gives you a 1% chance of getting cancer, then a dose of 2,500 rem (25 rem times 100) implies that you will get cancer (a 100% chance)"

Would you say there is also a similar difference between LinkedIn and Indeed.com? People go to Indeed to search for a Job, so it knows your intent. LinkedIn puts job ads in your activity stream. Although at least LinkedIn charges recruiters, so there's part of the business model.

Not sure the following is part of your usecase, but you may want to consider it.

First off, you might want to add something that indicates what kind of images are "valid". For example, I would love a site like yours where I could post my RAW CR2 files. While those are rarely good exactly like they are, they can be useful to show someone as an example of unretouched work, or as a guide to where I'm starting for someone to indicate "yes, but I really wanted you to get an angle looking from the south".

Second, I would love to have your service or some other one where I can pay a semi-ridiculous fee, and know the same image will still be available in 10 years. Right now I have about 1TB of images, and I wonder if anyone would bother to even look through them before just deleting the directory if I weren't around. It would be nice to know they are still somewhere. My current "workaround" is to post images to one of my blogs that I know Archive.Org backs up.
I don't have any data on the performance costs of using arbitrary precision integers in all code, but I'd like to see that if you know of any studies. I would have thought the overhead could be quite significant as you would have to keep a length variable for every single integer and check it every function call...

The use of 64 bit integers may significantly reduce the possible places for wrap-around to occur, but I think we (C,C++,Go etc. developers) have to develop a sense of code smell for overflow situations, so that "innocuous-looking code" stands out. That or static analysis.
A touch screen table would solve that problem. In a perfect world we would have desks whose entire surface is a multi-touch screen, not as a replacement but additionally to "regular" monitors to allow exactly these kinds of interfaces.

Besides relevancy, another problem for Facebook and Twitter ads is that to be successful, the ads should not degrade the user experience. Speaking just for myself, promoted stories or tweets definitely feel like a degradation of user experience even if I understand why they do it.
I think the clocks cycles referred to a very old chip which definitely cannot run at 2GHz. I believe modern processors would do a shift in a single cycle.

Modern compilers will replace multiplies by constant factors of 2 with shifts, making your code cleaner and more readable.
Not really--you'd still be using large-arm motions on a large surface, holding up your arms so you wouldn't generate false touches. Even palm detection won't help, as you'd still need the large-scope motions to tie things together.

A good point, but not the only useful point.

The role of government should be at least as good as the Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm.

And while it's not the government's role to provide happiness, the structure and practice of government should at least not hinder the pursuit of happiness, and better should promote it. And if a government action does not promote the pursuit of happiness (in the large) ... why are we doing it?
I agree. That's one thing Google figured out early on. It's much easier to not degrade the experience when you can match an ad to a query, because you can make sure that it appears relevant.

Clearly, my authority alone was not enough to get them to do what I wanted.

If you want to learn how to manage people, accept that authority is an illusion. If you realize people do what you'd like not because of your position but because of who you and are and how you act, you'll discover much more effective means of leading.

Clearly we respond to authority for authority's sake. Benevolent dictator and all that. But if your leadership style depends on your subordinate's perception of your power, it says more about you than it does about your subordinate.

Something with lots of DEET is the most proven way, though there are a lot of possible issues with that, and if you're going off trail a lot you probably can't beat the "deep woods" brands that are something like 25%.

An alternative is Avon Skin So Soft. Theres a good bet you'll hate the smell, and it has shown to be less effective than DEET but seems to be regarded as completely safe. But, to me I feel like I've always had better results for repelling gnats/flys using it over DEET based sprays.
It's even worse than that, the people that work for you will make their number one priority not getting fired.

I've worked at a company like that before. Management worked hard on whatever problem the CEO noticed last, while doing their best to hide any other problems from him.

As a manager you do much better at aligning everyone's interests so that your staff does what they want to do, which just happens to work towards the outcome you want. It's more about gentle course corrections ahead of time than grabbing the wheel from them.
If I could tell my 17-year-old self (who had already learned a high-school-friendly subset of C++, SQL, and a scripting language or two) the fastest accelerator for learning general programming concepts, I'd say learn a form of Lisp. I started by doing some of the 99 Lisp Problems ( http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~meidanis/courses/mc336/2006s2/func... ) and then took a class in my Master's program that taught with Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. I like functional programming in general because I haven't found a simpler way to represent certain types of sophisticated algorithms like searches, sorts, pattern matching, etc. You may want to try it out and see if you like the style.

As it was stated before, it's not a 10^-12 seconds camera, it's a very short pulse laser cleverly synchronized with a very short span camera.

It still has interesting applications though.
Wouldn't Ben have known that the manager wasn't conducting the mandatory "1:1" meetings with employees if Ben had regular "1:1" meetings with the next lower tier of management? The double standard irks me. Lead by example, not by intimidation.
It is more complicated than this one modern processors. The relationship between latency and throughput is more complicated. An instruction may require 6 clock cycles (latency) to complete but if you can issue 3 instructions per cycle then the throughput is 2 clock cycles per operation.

The Intel i7 has 6 operation execution ports per core, 3 of which can be used for basic integer operations. Shifts execute in a single clock cycle, but since there are 3 ALUs it is possible to execute 3 shifts per clock cycle.

There are a class of low-latency algorithm optimizations based on making sure that all operation ports are being used nearly every clock cycle. It is a special type of fixed, low-level parallelism that most software does not do very well by default. I've seen intentional and careful ALU saturation generate 2x performance gains for algorithms. The resulting code often does not look very different since it is about slightly reorganizing highly localized dependencies. (This is how hyperthreading works; unused execution ports in a clock cycle are given to a second thread to use.)
Interesting response. I didn't see it as a threat but clearly it was a negative consequence. People who work for you should know what is expected (their 'job' as it were) and they should know if they are or aren't meeting the expectations of that job. Clearly in Ben's case he required that his managers meet with their people, and said as much, and one of his managers wasn't. Now this was complicated by the fact that it was a couple levels down from him, but he did communicate how he wanted his managers to manage, and then described the consequences of not managing that way.

That is why I didn't see it as a threat, I read it as Ben saying "Managers who work for me have 1:1s with their reports, if you have a manager who doesn't want to manage that way that is fine, they should work somewhere else."

So if you worked for Ben and thought 1:1s were "bullshit" then you ideally would already have had a discussion about that and either understood what he wanted or have already quit.

The bottom line is that Ben needed to be clear when his direction was 'optional' and when it was not. Clearly this was a time when it was not.
It might just work if it's placed in a restricted "member" only area, like in an airport. After passing through security and check-in, the customer base has been vetted and pre-qualified. Travelers usually are relatively well off and well behaved, after passed through security. There're less chance of the place being trashed.

The Pioneer Anomaly: Heat generators slowed down Pioneer 10 and 11
I think MySQL's edge is just that is was initially perceived to be simpler to set up. Perhaps that is true or not, but the perception was created. The result was a massive head start. You now have a huge pool of users, support and knowledge, which makes it a safe choice. (notice I say safe, not necessarily the best)

Outside of the startup community developers don't have such a great appetite for risk, especially with their data.

I'm one of those people - I just know My SQL better. It has nothing to do with ease of installation or building queries. It has to do with troubleshooting. I know how to tune MySQL and troubleshoot. I know how to install and use other systems but it introduces risk for me to put them into production without a very compelling reason.

I would happily use another system if there were a db admin to take responsibility for running the server. In fact my favorite db is Oracle, but I have no experience as DB admin on that platform.

It's not authoritative, but if you really want to dig in to the issue the references at the end of the article are a good place to start.
I like it, but in all honesty - I don't see how multi-touch brings any advantage compared to a keyboard+mouse for this application.

The workflow is a bit different yes, but there is barely anything in there that really takes advantage of multi-touch gestures more than zoom, and there are many great zoom implementations available when using a mouse.

Regardless this could be quite useful, my biggest gripe is exporting your work, you should be able to export it to a PDF or something so that anyone can read or print it while still retaining comments, links etc. in a good, intuitive, way. That will make or break it in my eyes (granted I've only glanced at it so far) and I didn't see anything about that on the site/videos.

Not saying that it is badly suitable for multi-touch but I just have a hard time seeing myself working with my hands like that for a long session. Mouse + keyboard is vastly superior in terms of ergonomics and if I will be writing long comments a real keyboard is a must.

On a tablet? Sure, but feels like the UI requires a larger screen than a tablet.
I imagine there's a process in place that makes it expensive and difficult. I would imagine that you can't just buy a random hard drive and plug it into the DEA network.

Even though it is one of the first things a Computer Scientist learns, quicksort is still one of the most beautiful algorithms ever.

It's quirky in the sense that it is a randomized algorithm. It's analysis is beautifully simple once understood, but painfully non-trivial. There are multiple ways to analyze the running time of quicksort (dartboard, recurrence, etc) and its ideas apply to many other algorithms.
Firebird Django and the Future: FDB pure python driver
When I was in highschool, to get out of a speeding ticket, I was prepared to show that I could not have come to a full stop where the officer pulled me over if I was going as fast as he claimed (53mph), even with ideal assumptions (zero reaction time and perfect braking performance), which is quite an assumption for the 30 year-old car I was driving at the time. I never got a chance to test it in court, because the officer didn't show up on my court date.

Inside Facebook’s Oregon data center
Pasting in Safari doesn't quite work, like you said the paste event requires a text box to trigger, and while it seems to have the same clipboard API as Chrome, images don't seem to show up there.

In Firefox a contenteditable div is used to catch pasted content, when images are pasted an img tag with base64 encoded image data is inserted, which is easy to just grab and display. Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Safari.

Because Safari seems to support all the needed APIs, it's hard to detect and inform the user that copy and paste doesn't work. I'd rather not do any browser sniffing.
I prefer the MVP I've been using in airports for years:

- backpack with strap wrapped around my arm
- empty gate of any soon-to-be-bankrupt airline

It's already paid for, it works great (the mindfold is the secret, believe me), it weighs less that a pound, and I can use it on the plane too.

it is hard to see the truth if you grew up in the Western world and take a lot of freedoms for granted. What the "sipping cappuccino in the safety of Starbucks" crowd(i.e. most of you) fails to see is that the trial and sentencing is not about the girls or what they did or how the same act would've been treated elsewhere. It was about showing that in this land of arrogant and righteous thieves any hope for fair justice is lost.

I use a ThinkPad E520 at work. Every day. For 8 hours+.

I like the TrackPoint. I use the TrackPoint. I think I'm fairly proficient at navigating with it. But the only reason for using it, in my opinion, is because of how bad the ThinkPad's trackpad is.

I'll take my MBP's trackpad over Lenovo's trackpoint any day of the week. It's faster in most cases and much more accurate. It's just better.
