No, see, that was the "cool" thing about Vilerat. He wasn't just some Joe Goon "ironically" shouting racial slurs. He was the moderator of the "serious" discussion subforum on SA, where he frequently expressed such terrible opinions in complete seriousness and actively suppressed discussion that "hey, maybe you shouldn't share opinions with the BNP, just a thought" as moderator sass.

This is the man whose funeral Obama will solemnly attend and whose death Romney will use as the rallying cry to up the US government's murder-rate of non-whites. A terrible little internet nazi cum computer janitor for imperialism.
I'd like to show the difference between "What?" and "Wait. What??" moments

Slightly off topic - since I cancelled my PayPal account they've refused to process any credit card payments using the card that was linked to my PayPal account, which happens to be my only credit card. This means that I'm unable to purchase anything from anyone who uses PayPal as their sole payment option. A bit of hunting on the interwebs shows I'm not the only person this has happened to
The unfortunate truth is that some of these dictators and their military was all that was keeping their countries from turning into bastions of religious intolerance. To a zealot anything is an offense and any offense is an excuse.

Egypt isn't exactly improving, if anything they are moving backwards at the hands of religious zealots. Algeria is in a better state as its government is still in place.
As a web developer, this is a great thing to hear. Larger companies should focus on the web, and with this context, I don't have to be worried anymore about learning a native phone language.
"Apples-to-apples" ... perfect wording!
Yes it was before ICS (4.0). The entire experience was horrible and I was asked to help out the person using it because even the easiest things proved difficult. Her phone can't update even though it's about a year old now. Sigh... I've just seen the Xtreamer Mobile (Android) teaser. Looks good. Standard Root Access, dual sim and more.
The security argument for not allowing other JIT's that Microsoft and Apple keep throwing out there is really just a lame excuse to not allow other browsers be more competitive than their own, and I'm sick of it. Other browser makers are just as responsible if not more responsible than them when it comes to security, so it's a really really bad argument and I'm surprised some people actually buy into it.
12mph average is respectable, now this gets interesting...

As for comparing safety, one could

2) gather statistics on traffic accidents and injuries

Sure, true enough. Though it's not like creating Android was free.
The thing I think your assumption ignores is that there are infinite things that we encounter on a daily basis that have interesting explanations. Different people, even different "hackers", are going to be attracted to different topics to explore. Sharing the topics that we've explored is exactly what I come here for.

We all type all day, but we haven't all dug into how keyboards work. We look at screens all day, but we haven't all learned about monitor technology, sometimes even at the "cursory" level. Not having done it yet doesn't disqualify us from being real "hackers".
To be blunt, however, we must also kill those who promote and carry out terrorist attacks against us.

I'm not yet convinced of this. Maybe there truly are some people beyond redemption (with current technology), but I question how large that set could be, and doubt it encompasses every single member of any group designated by various governments as a terrorist organization (like Wikipedia).
What's amazing to me is that they can actually manually make a device that, at least on the outside has almost perfect fit-and-finish. You'd think the inaccuracies would accumulate and produce the typical cheap knock-off look.
I just can tell you what my experience is. I was unable to do it, but what you have to consider on Android is that a many customers are going to use crappy cheap phones with a weak processor, so every layer of abstraction added is going to hurt the performance a lot.

Additionally making the mobile app run smoothly on any device is just the bare minimum for what they should deliver.
It's hard to not compare it against competition like the Android Google+ app, which absolutely crushes the Facebook app (I'm talking about the UI here, not about the social network itself), and that's where my sketicism comes from.
Even if someone was able to deliver a WebView based app like Facebook, running smoothly on cheap devices, other competitors betting on native (like Google+) would still be in a different league.
I had the same exact experience, albeit it was not a change from proprietary to free software but rather: The government decided, (partly because there was an EU fund to waste and some rankings to compete in) that old simple tech like blackboards and slide projectors were to be replaced by newer technologies like interactive boards and digital projectors. The teachers' work flow was massively disrupted. They were still using their old notes, partly because there aren't any multimedia counterparts. They just have to go through more steps to get everything setup and running. Besides, that the technology itself was premature, buggy and probably flawed by design even. I'm all for technological progress but I absolutely hate when people push for worst technology just because it is build from contemporary digital technology.
So are Chinese upset at Apple, Foxconn, their government, their situation, or their communist totalitarian system?
As a spaniard *nix lover who has finished high school recently, I'd like to point out something... 0K, there are lots of installations, but being honest, among the students is very impopular, almost all of them have always been using Window$ at home... Also there are a few teachers that even know what Linux of whatever different to Microsoft's software is. That shoudn't be like that IMHO. Lots of economical (among others) resources are throwed to the bin.
Let's say in college more people use linux, mainly in engineerings, and with specific topics like parallel computing, etc...
It's a real pity that most people are so hooked up to Windows, but, what is worse is that Spain's administrations, too. The don't even know what open source is.
Culture. Is what matters.
[Edit]. I also forgot that the only "investment" all our Governments have done is not trying the students and teachers to know GNU/Linux, but wasting OUR money in modifiying the popular Ubuntu distro and also installing it in lots of computers, what is totally pointless.
Am I the only one getting some text on gray background without any graphics or charts on this page?

Firefox stable is version 15, Chrome is 21. Since they both use a 6 week release, and Mozilla is introducing this in Firefox 18, that means it should be compared to Chrome 24 or Chrome 25, depending on which is released first.
"One of the things that’s interesting is we actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web Facebook..."

this is testament to just how bad the app was.
Also, what is an idea you have been pitched on that seemed bad to you that you can't tell yet if it's a good idea.
True, the linux equivalent would be ~/.local . What I usually do for software I need only for my user is to install it in ~/.local/<package name> and then symlink what I need into ~/.local/bin,lib,etc.. with bin being on my PATH. If the binary needs to see its own libs, I write a small script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to execution and use that. This way removing is simply rm -r ~/.local/<package> and I don't pollute the rest of the system.

I think it adds the clarity that they don't think HTML5 is actually bad, but rather that it's still not ready for prime time (for them!)
The many other quotes I've read around the web don't mention this, giving more of a "HTML5 sucks" hint to the quote.

Apparently, there's an error in one of the python scripts that generates the data. It's currently reporting an overquota error.
But for this PARTICULAR example, is it cheaper? I know a bit about robot hacking, not industrial mind you, but this would be a rather trivial machine which could probably replace that entire production line? You might know more than me about it though :)
Shoot me an email. I have some ideas that might work.
before doing anything that this guy auggests, listen up :

Leave the meds behind. meds are the last resport. you have to try everything else before doing what this guy did and let go of your supernatural expectancies from yourself.
Work less, eat better, sleep more, enjoy your life more, stress less, change your life, live healthier, enjoy enough daylight, and first make sure that you are not infact surrounded by assholes & idiots.
Try sports, fall in love, try dietary suplements, vitamins, make some major life changes, stop smoking, stop drinking, stop making yourself depressed all the time. Once you ealize that you are the admin here and that it is you that has to take control of yourself and maintain the system. Meds are the absolutely last resort. This guy for sure didnt try out all those above meantioned natural techniques, but went the easy and unhealthier way. Now there is one more pilled up dude out there that i will have to compete with. Although i do try to live my life the healthiest way i can afford and cut all other bs aside, i do find it sometimes difficult to compete agains all these people on meds as they don't have to deal with as much humane feelings anymore but can act out, in the worst case, their over the top happy personalities and don't feel like normal humans do, dont sence when to stop smiling etc. but yeah, if it really was the last choice for this dude, then i'm happy that this guy is happy again. For all i know this might be just one more of those 'talks' from big pharma companies about the benefits of mood enhancers and anti depressants. Anybody out there coping with depression, hang in there, you dont want to cloud your judgement with a bunch of pills. instead thry ALL natural ways to stay happy and focused. Own yourself.

I can't read the full article (paywalls...grumble...), but this[1] would indicate better-than-placebo performance for those with major depression.

Please don't spread unsubstantiated rumors on this topic. As many of us know from personal experience, the results of giving people an excuse to say "that medicine doesn't work anyway" can be devastating.

9 times out of 10, tmpfs is explicitly not for use mounted as /tmp. The only obvious exception I can think of are cluster nodes where the workload is specialized and the node has no local storage whatsoever.

I guess it only takes one silly person to connect "tmp" in the name to "/tmp", and the rest is history.
> Facebook, for example, needs a 5 star app.

Could you explain why?
>Also, again it doesn't seem (or at least the writeup doesn't) to include the information about foxconn being more than just apple, that seems to get forgotten every time there is a Foxconn story.

The story is about making an iPhone 5, which is expected to boost the GDP of the US. http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-apple-iphone-...

As we're constantly reminded by the Apple blogs and on here, Apple takes 75% of the profits in the phone industry and have huge margins which their competitors can't come close to, so isn't it logical that Apple gets more of the bad press for bad working conditions since they are in the best position to improve the workers' pathetic work and living environment?
You started out with some good suggestions, and I do agree that meds shouldn't be picked up lightly.

However, I don't understand your rant when you go on saying that "i do find it sometimes difficult to compete agains all these people on meds as they don't have to deal with as much humane feelings anymore"

I'd also appreciate it if you used better spacing and punctuation (uppercase I for example), it makes your post harder to read and sound like a rant.
"To bing" in place of "to Google"? Nah. But.
Loved it overall.

Would be great if there's an IMDb link to the movie in the details view page.
I don't think RI is a bond. Bond is a debt instrument and you don't loan anything to AWS when you purchase an RI. RI is a hedging instrument instead - you think that if you end up running an instance non-stop or near-non-stop, you are hedging against paying a full price. Hence, RI is more like an option.

Further parallels with options are: 1) your upfront payment is option premium; 2) your RI has time value which is always declining as time passes; 3) RI gives you a right, not obligation, to do something; 4) RIs have many series, each expiring at the same time, just like exchange-traded options that expire at predetermined times.

All in all, this is huge. Or even bigger than huge. It can enable certain things that were not possible before, and personally I am very excited about opportunities it will present and how it will re-shape public IaaS.
I don't see any way for him to give an answer to this that wouldn't cause hundreds of people to apply to the next YC with the exact same idea (or with the same idea with tiny meaningless variations).

Not sure if that would benefit anyone.
A question, what does the "watch again" rating matter for? I can't watch films multiple times, if I've seen it once I will never enjoy watching it again, but I'm concerned if I mark 0 on "rewatchability" that will affect the display of similar films?

Also, I've signed in and synced my Netflix account and it's still listing American Netflix films under "Recent Releases on Netflix". Might be worth excluding films that aren't available in my area (UK)

Smoke-Free Balconies in Surfers Paradise
Did they ever make it?
It's not too bad. That works out at about 12.5 RMB / hour, more than someone would make working a night shift at KFC here in Guizhou (I expect in Shen Zhen it would be a little higher). I work at a coffee shop owned by my friend here; 6 - 10 RMB / hour is quite typical for unskilled labour. Also, chances are that these factory workers have free accomodation and subsidised food which makes a significant difference.

The journalist also notes that "there aren’t enough workers to fill the positions at the factory as they keep resigning". This doesn't neccessarily mean its a bad place to work. I hardly have any friends that haven't quit at least one job in the last year or two. Modern Chinese culture -- particularly among young people -- accepts quitting your job, messing around for a few months ("playing" in Chinese) and then finding another as quite normal.
Piteous and feckless are fairly uncommon words in English as well. Speaking a foreign language, I know there are some books that offer some... odd translations to words that are hardly ever used in that language anymore. I would guess this person learned English from an older book teaching proper English.
The interesting part here is that they have 48 low paid workers with some good QA instead of setting up a robot to do a particular task.

Setting up automation will become quicker and cheaper, forcing the labour alternative to become even cheaper and more demanding to compete with that. This is what is happening.

As this progresses, fewer people will be willing to work for that pay or under those conditions. Then these jobs will go away.

This is a good thing, but bad if you are used to slower technological progress where you can always make ends meet by taking up some low paid low skill jobs.
Maybe think of it as "if you had to watch it again, how much pain would you be in?".

Not only that. I use the mobile interface rather than the app for two reasons: Sure, the app is badly done and buggy, but, most importantly, it gives Facebook permissions that they've shown time and again they shouldn't have. They've fucked up on more than one occasion, and I know casual users who balk at installing applications that request too many permissions.

That's definitely a contributing factor, in my opinion.
> It remains to be seen.

That's right. It's called a prediction.
It makes sense in certain cases to use tmpfs for /tmp. However, I'm not sure this is on desktop machines, which (generally) have lower RAM than servers thrashing their /tmp directories.
Note that this is one-time fee and after that it will be open source. Selling it for 95€ (>170$) for each license is just a way of making too much money out of such an easy thing.

Yes come on, does anyone still think they are useful and simply not a complete waste of developer time?
Facebook relies on people using their service all the time, when they want. They want it to simply work. That's why they have this obsession about 24/7/365.25 uptime on their servers. It means also no friction when people use Facebook on their mobile, thus a 5 star app.
V8's "lead" on SunSpider is as much a fantasy as reality, since SunSpider performance is (IIRC) largely derived from how fast you can run setTimeout callbacks and not your actual JS performance. The tightly clustered scores on that graph make this pretty clear.

On the other hand, it's pretty interesting to me that we're now in the state where SpiderMonkey wins at Kraken and v8 wins at v8bench. I wonder if there's some unconscious bias involved there, where each test suite contains cases the engine's developers care about the most, so they end up winning that test suite?
His statement is calculated so he does not receive too much criticism from over-hyped HTML5 cool aid drinkers (which abound in great numbers).

It's hard to keep up with quickly-changing political correctness, especially if you're not a native English speaker (like the author). Words that were once considered sensitive are now derogatory and new words invented to replace them. In a decade or two, that new word will be insensitive and new words will need to be invented. People will then forget the word was offensive. "Idiot" was once the technical term to describe someone with severe mental disabilities.

Colored can hardly be called derogatory, just ask the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: the NAACP.

Of course there is debate.

The reason is that automated tests costs 2-3x as much time upfront. The assumption is then you will recoup that investment in the future. The problem is that automated testing doesn't cover everything so you have to augment it with human testers. Which then begs the question are the human testers being effectively utilised.

And for those of that do develop have a think about all the time spent on buggy web UI testing, screenshot comparison testing, tests being flakey due to software choices etc.
Ahem. Google Docs? MS Office Web Apps? Etc?

There's quite literally an app or site for almost everything on the internet.

It's great that you think your curiosity and drive for knowledge is somehow unique in this world, but I suspect you're wrong and just have a damn-kids-get-off-my-lawn mentality. The web has only made knowledge and possibility more accessible, not less, and it's naïve to think that it's a dumbed-down version of the "incredible software" you grew up using.
How many people do you think are migrant workers? People who come from an area where that pay is a lot more than they get back home, work for a certain period of time before resigning. Then they either go back home or find a better paying job in the new area.

Having been a migrant worker myself, I think this is a great way for the mobility of young people, especially when the jobs offer accommodation too.
Until this announcement, trading (buying and selling) of any EC2 entity was theoretically impossible.

Many companies claim to be working on things like marketplaces etc, but unless you can sell (buying is always trivial) and further unless you can sell to not just AWS but to a pool of other users, it ain't no marketplace.

Minor disagreement about the following: "Everyone must worry about whether their files need to survive a reboot"

I believe there was never such expectation of /tmp. On many systems it's being wiped periodically or even when the user's last session ends. The example app(s) that use /tmp for drafts need(s) to be fixed.
