The random garbage will probably get you in deeper trouble than the encrypted data -- they'll think that it is encrypted data, and ask you to decrypt it. Since it's garbage, you won't be able to; and then... I'll leave the rest to you imagination ;)

Overall, it's probably better to just give them your encrypted data. If you're not doing anything illegal, you don't have much to worry about. In my case, my data consists of software projects, personal diary/e-mails, etc. Nothing incriminating.

In principle what they're doing is wrong (violating your privacy and searching you without a warrant), but in the long run it'll probably just save you time to comply. Unless you're doing anything illegal, giving them your data shouldn't really be a problem.

If they "accidentally" share / release NDA'd corporate data (never heard of this happening), you can always take them to court. Heck, you can even take them to court for searching you without a warrant.
Back before we had HTTP APIs we called the public facing parts of a library APIs too.
Does jury selection for civil cases work similarly to how it does for criminal cases, with both sides questioning jurors and getting a certain number of strikes? If so, I can't help but think that whoever was responsible on Samsung's side for letting this guy through is getting reamed right now.
I'm not sure Apple's distribution really supports Kickstarter though. You wouldn't be able to give away the app in that way.

RubyMotion didn't support IB at all when it was released. Glad to see that's improved, but how does IB parse your code if its in Ruby?

Also, 'going back' to ObjC would mean a rewrite, not keeping around mountains of code you have to continue to maintain.

Read books & blogs on design, design a lot, throw a lot away, find small projects to work on to hone your skills, dissect other designs, design more, throw more designs away, build up your font collection, build up your photoshop layer styles collection, talk with other designers, learn how to make wireframes and write the content before you start to design, find a design mentor who will help you learn, design more, throw away more designs, find non-profits you can do some free designs for, find some startups you can design for, google about color theory and font theory and read up on it, learn how to design around themes (an "underwater" theme, a "cartoon" theme, a "western" theme), design more, throw more away...
These sorts of stories are always fascinating to me. If you look back at human history, one of the big differentiators between human cultures is how we handle our dead.

Was the origin of that behavior a sort of opportunity for groups of humans to learn from the death of their friends? Or are our emotions a sort of outgrowth of the behaviors these birds display?

"Race is also genetic, but really is shorthand for variation in hundreds, maybe thousands of genes."

There's a subtlety in your statement that I think will be lost on too many people, even more so given the juxtaposition with the statement about eye color. So at the risk of sounding pedantic...

Race is not a trait like eye color. Variations in the human gene pool are not evenly distributed geographically or across ethnic groups for a number of historical reasons. Many of these genes manifest in our physical appearance. But there is no countable number of races. Dividing humanity into 3, 4, 5 or even a hundred races is totally artificial. All you have to do is walk from Europe to SE Asia, or Europe to Africa via the middle east and you will see a gradual change, a gradient for each of the observed physical differences.

So description of "race" as a "shorthand" is spot on. Sadly it is a poor shorthand because most everyone conceive of race as discrete types of humans.

Sigh.

probably not, unless you're really good at filtering out what you need from 1312 pages. a more tightly-focused programming interview study guide is probably more beneficial if your only goal is prepping for these sorts of interviews.
Android is not really Linux and that sounds like a terrible idea (although less terrible than Chrome OS).
Ironically, her book won't get you through the google interview if you are a new college grad. It may have sufficient coverage for Microsoft/Amazon interviews but not google.

From my experience the average google interview requires you to be so deeep into the algo/datastructure space, you should be able to code up the KMP algo off the top of your head. You have to be a topcoder with atleast 1200 rep or equivalent algo & coding skills. Coding speed also matters.
You should be able to scribble Floyd warshall.

Why this way? Well that's where google did most of their recruiting from back in the day. Anyone who says they got hired without this are either lying or got lucky in the interview process. Same goes for the new wave of startups in the bay area..facebook/palantir/quora etc.

I was very much into the OS, compiler space in school and that was what I was interested in. Got an offer from msft, amzn but not google. So kids, read up on CLRS & the algorith design manual, solve every problem there & also create your account today on topcoder if you'd like that job at el goog. Any other book that says otherwise is equivalent to Linux programming for dummies or Complete C++ in 21 days.
This sounds reasonable. When we lived by the beach there was a blue jay who after accepting food from me on our deck for about a year started one day landing on my legs when I was on a lounge chair to get more food. This behavior lasted for a few years until a cat got him.

Now, years later, we have a domesticated Meyers Parrot and his behavior is very complex and interesting.
I agree that GPG is awesome.

When the VA had a laptop theft that resulted in a large identity breach, many government entities freaked and implemented policies that they didn't understand. Think schools, local government, etc.

In these situations, you may find yourself in trouble when auditors catch a security issue violating your own policy, because dog licensure data isn't properly encrypted.
Hiring people willing to work in Perl isn't that tough. Hiring experienced Perl developers with experience solving specific issues is tougher. Hiring a experienced Perl hacker that's fully embraced something front-end development using Extreme Programming is going to be virtually impossible in your local area. I'm a recruiter w/ first hand experience trying recruit for many languages, and I find Perl-based posotions much harder to fill.
As a side not, thanks to the article, I now know I use Oxford/serial commas.
Seems more likely he accepted the laptop as payment for drugs. The original thief was smart enough not to turn it on, hence taking a couple days to show up.
Is this really a sample of 40 respondents? While I agree with the point the article is trying to make, it is a terribly unscientific poll, prone to the kind of error and duplicity that the republican convention seemed to be full of.

Speaking as someone who uses plenty of the more obscure features of Excel, I hate the "lets do everything in our browsers!" paradigm.

That being said, what really matters for the question "why isn't linux successful" is only: "How easy is it to get the software that does what the user wants?" For an average home user, I think Linux could have been ahead of the curve. All a distro had to do was slap a pretty GUI on their package management system and they would have had an app store where everything was free and easily accessible. The free office replacements are more than sufficient for home users, as are the chat clients, web browsers, and media players.
this is great. I've discovered songza earlier this year and have been using that. well done man!
No: "integer" on PostgreSQL is, in fact, a signed 32-bit number, but so is "serial". The difference between serial and integer is only that usage of the serial type as a column implicitly creates a sequence (which itself is a 64-bit counter, but is unrelated to the storage in the column), sets its owner to the column, and makes the column's value default to the next value of the serial. PostgreSQL also has the type "bigint", which is a signed (not unsigned) 64-bit number, and an equivalent "bigserial" type which you would need to use if you want a 64-bit version of serial.
Many people who switch jobs aren't specifically looking (didn't Joel say the best candidates never are...?), but could easily be tempted by a good offer / company.

In the above - grammar, rhetoric, logic - formed the "trivium" and - arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - formed the "quadrivium".

Also "trivium" represented the place where three roads would intersect. People would meet here and exchange pleasantries and gossip. That is how you get the current meaning of the word "trivia".

Pardon an obvious comment but some developers using Facebook and Twitter for login don't get this: when you are only using FB and T for login then don't write your app to request any access rights at all to a user's FB and T data.

For example, why have your app request the access rights to post to a user's T stream?
Stop looking backwards.

The desktop is being left behind by mobile. Recognize that Android/GNU/Linux has won mobile. Despite an early lead, Microsoft has been crushed worldwide in mobile by a Free Software platform.

Android provides a platform where both Free libraries and closed source apps proliferate - and are very inexpensive. All the failures of desktop GNU/Linux have been solved, or are not relevant, in mobile GNU/Linux.

Regarding the tablet segment of mobile, one could argue that GNU/Linux will seize the low end and gradually gain market share at the expense of iPad, leaving no room for Microsoft.

The only reason I care about desktop OS at all is to develop for mobile or back-end server.
You Work for Me Now
>> In many ways though , I would consider desktop Linux a success regardless of marketshare for the simple reason that it is now possible to "use a computer in freedom". I think the software world would be a bleaker place if Torvalds , Stallman et all hadn't spent the hours pushing code. Imagine a world where the cheapest HTTP server license went into thousands of $

I completely, wholeheartedly, agree with this. I will always maintain at least one Linux machine for this very reason.

>> People site usability concerns etc and while there are some issues there I think it's mostly "good enough" now and we're long past the days of having to compile a .tar.gz full of .c files and fettle with vi in order to get sound to work.

IMHO usability is still a concern. I truly believe it scares off quite a few potential users.

Anecdote : I've watched as a room full of professional developers cursed at their screen while working past Unity, dealing with NVIDIA driver compatibility and playing around with Xorgs. All the while, mind you, the devs using OSX would occasionally chime in with casual snark such as "oh, installing tomcat on OSX is really just a drag and drop..."

Obviously, we all got our desktops working - and I'm actually very fond of my highly tailored Xubuntu setup. However, it wasn't exactly pain free. I have to think that many a casual user might be put off by such an experience.
I think the best way is by including a really sexy app store.

This is most likely necessary, but if this were sufficient, we'd all be using Lindows. Naturally, you can adjust the definition of "sexy" to include Apple's app stores, while excluding everyone else, but that doesn't strike me as a useful definition of the word.
in favor of the lesser of the two evils

It can be (and is) extremely dangerous at times. Leave the billion dollar aside for some time. It can kill an innocent and set a culprit free, if that's the valid rationale of yours.
"Falsifies" seems like an odd choice of words here; I went to the article expecting that the Wall Street Journal made some statement that BranchOut managed to disprove, not that BranchOut faked a quote from the Wall Street Journal.
Gnome 3 completely borked my system of 8 years running on an Thinkpad R50e I was happy with. There really is no excuse for what happened. There was no cure either. I am done. Writing from a mac now.

I read that blog post and all I can do is shake my head. They seem to be fighting the same old monsters for the last 12 years. The list of reasons on the post sickens me.
We've found similar results during user testing recently. http://fellswoop.com/blog/is-user-trust-in-facebook-declinin...
There's some projection here. We see some birds gathering around a corpse, we know that if we did that we would be "mourning", but that does not mean that they are. Stopping eating for a day may sound like mourning, but it also sounds like a very sensible defense against poisoning.

They may be; it is true that many birds exhibit complex behavior. But at least based on the info given in this article, there's a lot of unjustified assumptions about the internal states of the bird's brains based on deep, deep subconscious assumptions about how humans would be feeling if we saw humans acting that way. I would consider it just as likely that to the extent they are "feeling" something it would be something with no human analog.
"falsify" means "to forge or alter as to deceive," not disprove.

awesome, i love the simplicity!

i'm curious, how are you seeding your crawler and determining attributes for the next song recommendation? from my understanding, pandora has a team of musical experts and it takes them 30 minutes to gather data for each song (attributes/input to their recommendation algorithm).

i'm building http://cloudplay.fm a multi-source music player, and would love to have an API to Mixest. the world does need more niche'd Pandoras :)
Sure seems like that's the case.

No results found for site:wsj.com "create secure professional profiles".

Tried a few other substrings from the quote -- none matched.
I definitely prefer it to Grooveshark radio. Nice and simple. The interface is a bit confusing, I pressed the music button thinking it was broken. Maybe add tooltips? Also, using the URL for playing certain songs is interesting. If a user bookmarks the page though, doesn't that mean they'll get the same song every time?
rather beautifully, might i add.

LG demonstrates wireless Linux Web pad at CeBIT (2001)
if this case had an expert jury they'd bring with them their own experiences with the patent system both positive and negative

How come? In a case where it's important to know whether a patent was infringed upon or not (call it a technical thingie happened or not) it's very important that the very facts and formulas behind this were needed to be carefully understood by people who gave the verdict(I am not aware of the USA jury system other than explained by Hollywood).

Atleast they could have seen what a patent farce war it was. Now all they might have done was "Oh yeah.. looks like Samsung copied Apple.."..another "..yeah..seems like that..hmm you are right".. "a billion dollar will be fine..no?".. "yeah...that's perfect.. let them pay a billion dollar".. or whatever happens inside there.
Actually, there is an objective test for "black". It uses an instrument called a spectrophotometer.
Honestly I do think that Samsung is guilty of copying Apple

You think? How? I mean what could have been another design? Like pulling a tail from the right bottom of the handset, or left? Or top? Or adding two horns on top? Or a big hole somewhere to distinguish.

Glad no one patented pants and shirts or undies. Or someone has done even that?

Some of the cartoonists who followed the trial and posted were more accurate in putting the farce of display.

"People have had to deal with Perl code that they do not understand. It may have been poorly written, or it may have been perfectly written Perl code. If you do not take the time to learn Perl, you would not know the difference."

The problem is that Perl's TIMTOWDI culture and the inconsistent evolution of the core language make learning "enough" Perl harder than learning e.g. "enough" Python.
Adding insult to injury, its likely that once-dominant Microsoft will not only be crushed by Android/GNU/Linux in mobile, but also by other upcoming mobile ecosystems built on GNU/Linux - Amazon's Android fork and the Tizen mobile OS.

As of June, Google said that Android/GNU/Linux was on 400 million devices and that each day 1 million new devices were activated by users worldwide.

Clearly, no one is worrying about why Linux failed on mobile!
Did the same search. Wow. This is pretty scummy; I had thought they were bad but, not this bad. I already was not too fond of them due to the number of requests to join their service I receive on Facebook.
Though I didn't find this confusing in context, it actually means both.

Sort of. Perl has support for something like reader macros. See http://search.cpan.org/~zefram/Devel-Declare-0.006011/lib/De... for details.

One could, in theory, build something like Lisp macros using it, but I don't think that anyone has.
Why not? Windows 7 is a good OS.
What is the origin of that term in this context? I just spent several minutes (an eternity in Google/-pedia time) searching for definitions, and the best answer I could infer from the results was that someone named their blog after the pharyngula stage of embryonic development, and used their blog's popularity to manipulate online polls. Am I close?
I thought the exact opposite from the article. I decoupled the idea that a funeral was an emotional or cultural event with something that is a long time survival technique. We place a value in funerals from a cultural level, but forget that ultimately it's just a behavior that extends our survival. What better time to slow down and think about the lessons learned? Is culture not just distilled and sophisticated survival techniques? Is the difference for why birds 'mourn without feeling' and why we 'mourn with feeling' any different?
Same here, but I have learned that first start understanding UX and usability and then with the help of frameworks like bootstrap(there are many)anyone can easily put up a nice layout.Once you have that then it can be improved with nice graphics,logos and images.
Connectivity is Killing Us
Not saying you bashed languages, but made a good argument for PERL. And the points were good and provided substance. Which, personally, I find useful and will likely guide me to look into things I may not know or revisit something I don't know. PERL might be the exception.

What I liked about the post - it didn't focus on hype, like that around NodeJS (it's badass rock star tech); additionally it brought up a language no so en vogue.

Keep up the good work.

This article raises intriguing points about Facebook signups, but the statistics are meaningless because fewer than 50 users were surveyed.
I think there are better words you can use to make your point.

Also note that Microsoft failed to stop Android even though they have been bullying all Android manufacturers too with their patent portfolio. The reason Desktop Linux never became a success cannot simply be attributed to Microsoft's bullyings. To them, it's probably just another source of income, not necessarily a means to stop free software or Linux.
I think its otherwise now. I will mention just one example and same thing will apply to many.
I always preferred to buy from amazon(picking just one name) because of no tax and so always better than those stores.But now Amazon is charging sales tax in many states and plan is to charge in more and more states.That will be followed by other online stores and then it will always be more convenient to go to local store(because price is same) feel the item and return it hassle free if you don't like it!

Actually, now is a great time to switch to Linux.

The only thing that was keeping my parents and some of my friends was that they needed Microsoft Office for their work/schoolwork. As of now MS Office runs like a piece of cake on Linux -- with PlayOnLinux (http://playonlinux.com/). Honestly, it's quite impressive how smoothly it runs (and how easy it is to install it.)

MS Office isn't the only application that PlayOnLinux supports - there's a ton of games and other software (Photoshop, Blender, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc.) that it supports. To top all that off, I feel like the desktop on has gotten better and better lately. I use KDE 4.9, and I will say it is quite nice. The level of integration KDE offers and the high quality of many of the standard apps that come with it will make a Windows user never turn back. Ubuntu too has a rather simple and straightforward UI (although it doesn't personally appeal to my taste).
Mostly simplicity. "graph.facebook.com/id/photos" is easier than multiple round trips or nested queries, and in general it's easier to grasp for people who aren't familiar with SQL (not me, but lots and lots of people never have to touch the stuff).

Personally though, I find myself waffling between the two depending on which gives me the information I want, the most easily. Often that's the graph API, though speed can suffer immensely unless you only request the fields you need (e.g. counts add a lot of time to a request).
Somebody should tell these guys about Engadget, The Verge, Gizmodo, Geek and all the other sites that do this crap for a living.

You can for sure.But because you don't have a degree you will have to take a differet path.
Prove you are what you say(great designer/developer etc..) Build your portfolio, make online repo and then get in touch with google,amazon,facebook,apple recruiters.All the best.
