There might be many different reasons.

Regarding that specific case the issues of subjective and objective pain migh be a hint to a broader explanation.

I also know that different individuals will objectively feel pain in various degrees for the same stimuli(not sure about the spelling).

Time needed to restore the body to a "normal" or relaxed/replenished state after physicial activities isn't the same from one individual to another.

An another social theory also states that people tend to get fat/lean, give up smoking/etc., when most of their social connections do (even though they aren't in direct contact with them). Citation needed, will dig later after it but not sure if i can find it again.

Not at all: complain about it all you want, and make your decisions in accordance with your understanding of the relevant risks.

Just recognize that a certain level of risk - in the form of possible breaches of promises - is inherent in the nature of all of these things - traditional investment, pre-orders, and Kickstarter alike - and that there's no way to pre-empt that downside without eschewing the upside.

Again, Mark Zuckerberg set up the entire structure of the company so he wouldn't be forced to make dumb short-term decisions by whining public-market shareholders.
And he TOLD them that he wasn't going to make those decisions.

They just didn't listen.

User A stores 1 TB and can get out 1.7 GB for free per day.
User B stores 100 GB and can get out .17 GB for free per day.

It doesn't make sense to me why this free read amount should be higher for User A than it is for User B, since Amazon is such a "pay for what you use" service. If they both read the exact same amount (read 1 GB), User A gets it for free and User B pays.

I understand that this is paid for from your monthly fee from how much you're storing, but then (again) this isn't "pay for what you use".

What about the damn underwriters of this thing? Given the volumes offered, it was priced to go one way: down. So they maximized the offering but now the whole enterprise is worth half. Is the cash in the bank and the founder's coffers worth it? I have no idea, but I would think for employee compensation and morale purposes, it probably would've been better to leave a little on the table. Hell, their prospects looked like they were declining right on the eve of the IPO. What did everyone think would happen?

No need to go that far back - we can talk about the warrent-less wiretaps, or the pre-trial assassinations of US citizens.

...of course, the current administration insists that those are legal, but because they refuse to release a legal argument defending the practice, the best explanation they've given is 'Just trust us, okay?'. Not sure how that would hand up in a court of law.
Those are most likely standards-essential patents, no? In which case they can't use them to block sales, in theory. IANAL so this is an honest question.
A quick reminder for iOS developers:

Apple has provided a number of replacements for UDID, that address some of the UDID uses without it being as much of a privacy problem. It's all still under NDA, so I posted my summary on the Apple's developer forums (iOS developer login required): https://devforums.apple.com/message/723147

The Indian casinos are also highly regulated by the National Indian Gaming Commission. For some things, each tribe also has their own regulations that need to be handled, so it can be a major PITA work for or sell a product to more than one tribe's casinos.
Not quite. Part of the point was that "hardware coded IDs for devices concept should be erradicated from any device on the market in the future." I'd place MAC addresses in that bucket as well. A company like Apple that's been changing the status quo for years should be striving to do the same when it comes to their user's privacy and anonymity

Maybe "Enterprise" accounts could have VMs with FDE; Travis gives them a bare image that's then encrypted w/ a user-provided key, so (barring a hostile attack on the host's memory) only the user has access to their data.

Though the same users that want such a thing are likely also running (locally hosted) GitHub Enterprise, it'd make more sense to provide a similar option for Travis.

Why does anyone care? The iPod had undifferentiated names for a decade, despite dramatic changes in capabilities. Whenever there's a need for specificity (e.g. buying/selling a device online), people had no problem specifying "iPod third generation," "iPod nano second generation" etc.
It may be that since many people continue to refer to the 'new iPad' as the iPad 3 they decided it just doesn't stick so why bother?

That's a great marketing move...wouldn't expect anything else from Twilio! It's not really of use to my users though - drafting happens independently of other users.
That's right - I'm in the beta and it works really well.
I have a huge respect for both Ellis and Chen, and stated that on several occasions in the blog post. The same goes for what 'growth hackers' do, in fact, I could call myself one since I do both marketing and coding! I just don't like the term growth hacker, as this is just another buzz word for something that just isn't new. I wholeheartedly agree on the ad hominem attacks, they are low. This piece wasn't meant as one, and I apologize if it came across that way.
Tech and Business Cross-Discipline Education
Somewhere or other I read an example of protocol design: handling the lint trap in your dryer. One way to do it is empty the trap at the end when the clothes are dry. Another way is at the beginning, right after loading the wet clothes. In a mathematical sense they're equivalent, because in both cases the lint gets removed once per load. But in practice, emptying first is better because the protocol will "work" even if someone fails to empty the trap.

Same situation here. Blaming the card company and the customers and doing all this suing is a lot of work compared to shuffling the damn cards. It's a bad protocol. If they always shuffled, this kind of thing couldn't happen.
Not sure.

I understand how stock market works and I also understand we need stock markets for huge projects that require billions of dollars in investments. But other than that, it is just one sucker trying to find the next sucker, offload his stuff as fast as he can, for as much gain as he can. The whole thing feels a bit odd.

Penmanship is something I recall being a compulsory subject in elementary school. Even though I haven't written anything on paper since I left school, it was a skill that was necessary to get through to that point.

Programming is useful for engaging in many scholarly subjects. Like penmanship, it may simply be that the schools see programming as a tool that will be needed in order to teach subjects in later courses, and not due to any connections to industry.
Your comments are simply misdirection of blame by cutting me down instead of the original knot expert you started with. The problem, as you see it, isn't that you ascribed a negative to the engineers (cropping out mars, focusing on knots, OCD attentiveness to sock drawers), but rather, you attempt to frame it as a simple lack of humor on behalf of external observers.

The problem with this analysis is that while Dilbert is funny (and fake), you were demeaning (of real people), and your defense uses the same subtly demeaning tone as your original comment.
Photos of the iPad mini?
In Austria it is since the introduction of data retention. Every time someone is assigned an IP address by his or her ISP, an entry is made so IP addresses can be mapped back to the person at any given time. It's pretty much the same across the EU, I reckon. I haven't heard of any cases yet where this data was used in a court of law though, but it is theoretically possible. Why would there be a law to oblige ISPs to do that if not for using this data in lawsuits? Back in 2006 when the EU guideline was made the official version was the usual terrorism bullshit (data is only usable for the prosecution of severe criminal action). In April this year the EU decided that file sharing is severe enough.

A side fact: Data retention hasn't proven to be very successful yet.
If you don't have a business address (just home), and you don't think it will harm your business to do so (if the domain name pertains to such), you can get a P.O. Box (in the U.S.). Just remember to actually check it reasonably frequently, just in case.

You can also get a "street address" by purchasing a similar "P.O. Box" service from a private party, e.g. The UPS Store. Although it's pretty easy to figure out what such an address is, i.e. don't expect to "fool" anyone who takes a halfway serious look at your address. It does make receiving non-USPS packages possible.

I tend to favor not listing my personal address, if for no other reason than you just never know what problem(s) might show up unanticipated.
While I think this is a completely reasonable thing (not storing tarsnap data in Glacier), I'm not sure if the reasoning holds beyond, "For the way we designed tarsnap it doesn't make sense."

When you look at how GFS is implemented or Bigtable, or Blekko's NoSQL data store, there are layers, with the meta data as a pretty separable layer from the data. In all of the cases for these large stores that separation was put in to facilitate putting the meta data into lower latency storage than the 'bulk' data which facilitates fast access.

As cperciva relates, tarsnap spends a lot of time de-duplicating data (or writing only one copy of a block with identical contents) which is great for reducing your overall storage footprint which lowers your costs. But if the cost of storage is much much smaller than the retrieval cost, then your design methodology would be different.

So I would not be surprised if there was a way to build a function equivalent product to tarsnap that had lower storage costs if the bulk data was in glacier and the index data was in S3, or if the index data was designed such that a document recovery was exactly two retrievals (a catalog, and then the data). And of course such a system would not de-duplicate as that would result in potentially more retrievals.

It seems that if the price delta ratio between Glacier and S3 was higher than the de-dupe ratio, then Glacier would 'win' with no de-dupe. Else de-dupe would still win. Thoughts?
Parallels Desktop 8 vs. VMware Fusion 5: Benchmark Showdown
Joins are in SQL because SQL was developed to query relational databases, and the join is the fundamental assumption of the relational database.

I always find it sad that the new data storage engines define themselves under a banner that says "We don't care that everybody who learned how to query a database since 1988 needs to learn a new way because our way is better."
Which wouldn't be so bad if it was uniform across engines, but it isn't. It's a new API for each engine.

That's a lot of yaks to shave when you already know SQL.
It's not like WPA2 would be terribly secure either. One minute of googling directs you to a step-by-step tutorial using aircrack. WiFi is nice to have but one has to be aware of the security issues that arise with it.
In a variety of benchmarks, Parallels 8 beat Fusion 5 by five to twenty percent. But both were remarkably capable of running Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Heck, even Crysis was "playable" on Medium settings.

Any other tests you want to see? Let me know!

"I love that ..." is the rhetorical equivalent of "Don't take this the wrong way, but ..."

There's a pretty clear implication that it's silly to "crop out" pictures of mars, focus on knots, and the kind of people that would do that would be OCD in their maintenance of sock drawers.

It's a silly, vaguely cutting generalization. Observe the top reply, which takes a defensive stance: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4474178

Visual studio 2012 has no Setup project and the alternative they offer is crap.
Does that go against their case or is it irrelevant? If you make a cost-benefit decision, in this case to "not shuffle cards", then is your position weakened when you cry about a reasonably forseeable outcome tied to your very decision? "They took advantage of us when our own decision backfired!"

I mean, at the start of a shoe, draw the first three cards, if they are consecutive, then shuffle the decks or or burn the entire shoe. You end up shuffling or destroying an insignificant number of shoes by pure chance, but you don't lose 1.5 million dollars when you find out too late the guy pressing the shuffle button at the factory for $7/hr decided to take an extended lunch.

This line, fairly early in the article, sounds like BS. If not BS, then it is poor writing, because it hand-waves over a huge chasm:

"Using correlative analysis, Wilson confirmed that the rats were dreaming of their maze navigating exploits from the day before."

They absolutely confirmed the rats were dreaming specifically of the mazes of the day before, by analyzing their neural activity? If so, that technology is FAR more interesting than merely controlling their dreams!

In my experience adventure sports like mountaineering can provide a similar sense of perspective. Even if things are going well, it's clear that decisions can have real physical consequences.

Training programs like the National Outdoor Leadership School can be a good jump start into the leadership aspects of those sports.

Responsive Image Protocol proposal
I am almost like your friend in that I only enjoy the results of exercise. It's really, really difficult to make myself go through the pain for indefinite results at an indefinite time in the future, which means I go through cycles of exercising steadily for a few weeks or months (during which I see almost immediate and quite noticeable improvements) and then quitting once the improvements are not so immediate or noticeable.

I notice the same pattern in other areas of my life: when I played World of Warcraft, the first 15-20 levels were great fun, and I usually could convince myself to keep going to level 30 or so. Somewhere between 25 and 35 I'd stop playing. Later, they made it faster to level, and the sweet spot moved up to 45-60, and then it became faster still, and I managed to get a coupla characters to 80. I was still treating the actual game as something to get through to enjoy the leveling up experience, though, and if I couldn't expect to level up in this session of play, I would have very little interest in playing right now.

In programming, if I'm working on something I don't actively enjoy, I have to structure my work as a series of small victories, or I will put it off until time pressure forces me to grind through it all at once.

Well, he did say today; Sandy Bridge has been on the market for 18 months and Ivy Bridge ups the performance ante even further. AMD's APUs are better still in terms of integrated graphics performance.

IIRC, it was only referred to the "new iPad" in marketing materials. If Apple was focused on reducing the importance of numbers, what else would you call it in a conversation? The new or the newest ipad.

To be fair, the metrics you mentioned are objective. It's just debatable how relevant they are. Other metrics that are used are measures of coupling, cohesion, lines per method, methods per class, etc. There are probably more measures that are used. None of them are perfect, but they all help paint a picture that adds to our understanding.

To address your second point, it's actually not too difficult to isolate factors like TDD. The standard way is to have a control group and a test group. With a large enough of a sample size, you can determine statistical significance with standard tests.

Unfortunately, the test subjects are often university students, who are less experienced than professionals. The fact that data collected on students might not generalize to professionals is a threat to external validity, but should be made explicit in most papers. Most of the time, I think companies aren't very happy about having researchers use their engineers for experiments on the company's dime, but it does happen. So there are some papers out there reporting results with professionals.
They don't put these sorts of images on apple.com afaik - they're just sent to the invitees who then spread them.

If you have a command line tool to access Glacier, I think what you can do is make an archive (with tar), encrypt it with gpg, and just use the command line tool to upload the encrypted archive. So you don't need tarsnap for that, but if you want fancy deduplicating incremental encrypted backup, that's where tarsnap shines.
