You're getting into dangerously ignorant territory with those words, and you haven't even done your research. Stop. That has no place here.

The protest, by some accounts, was for the most part not violent. The violence that did happen was a planned and targeted action perpetrated by a highly trained militia exploiting the cover of the protests.

Reinforcements were delayed intentionally, and the second attack clearly accounted for the contingency of a saferoom escape by smoking them out. Indeed, several hours before the attack occurred, it's possible that the area was being scoped out, and pictures taken.

Furthermore, the group that is apparently responsible has been identified, and is being pursued.

What prevented you from just caching the status page and then refilling the cache manually every X seconds ? I'm sure a status that is a few seconds old given the system wide meltdown wouldn't have been an unreasonable compromise ?
Since Marchish this year I've found Naver's LINE to be really unreliable though. Messages delayed days or hours, etc. I'm surprised it's still growing if this is the case for more than just me.
> How it doesn't?

Well, lets start with the fact that it doesn't say anything about a group of people at all. It specifically speaks to only a few individuals. No where in the content of this video does it advocate any sort of physical or political action against Muslims at large.

The fact that some people have decided to take it as a personal attack is immaterial and reading more into what was actually said than is there. If Google got into the business of pulling any content some group of people may find offensive the site would be empty.
I haven't missed the news. I'm well aware of the video and what it's been used as an excuse to do.

I'm also aware that this request is effectively the White House requesting that content be repressed on political grounds, which is wholly antithetical to one of the core principles by which our government is run.

It's trivial, by watching the video and by reading Google's TOS to say "oh, that's clearly not a violation". What the White House did is say "We want you to take that video down, and here's an excuse you can use to do it", which is Not Okay.
Why? As a user of Adblock it seems totally fair to me.
Google is just pissed off they were not credited for any kind of revolution like twitter was and now they don't want to lose their opportunity.
I'm in Canada a lot, but I'm here (Bellingham) more, so I'm torn.

Right now I'm trying to decide between sticking with AT&T's Nationwide plus Canada and a global data add-on ($110/month) and Verizon's cheapest Sharing is Caring option plus a prepaid Virgin Mobile Canada plan (once VZW will unlock my SIM slot -- $105/month total).

With AT&T I only have one phone number and get free long distance calling to and from Canada (which I do a lot). But the closest LTE market is out of state, and I would need to use my old phone for overseas use with a local SIM.

With Verizon I get LTE in my hometown and much of the rest of the world, and I can use local SIMs when I travel, but I would need to use Skype or FaceTime to call people across the US/Canada border, and probably wouldn't get missed call or voicemail notifications until I crossed into each carrier's coverage area.

The AT&T option appeals to my practical side and the VZW option appeals to my hacker side. Anyway I'm traveling till October so I have a couple of weeks to decide.
I think that adding some popular/pre-defined packages (that could change the slider's values) would help "regular" users.

About the slider, the horizontal lines are useless without references.
You can share your opinion of the merits of this case c/o Uniloc's corporate office or through the attorney in this case. Or feel free to file an amicus curiae brief with the court having jurisdiction over this case. The latter approach will at least have a chance of helping if you are an expert who is well versed in the subject matter.

Or is your motivation is to mount a campaign of distributed harassment of these individuals?

I regularly see Denver's speed camera vans on Sheridan between Alameda and Mississippi. That neighborhood is only slightly less crappy than south Federal, and just as bad as any stretch of Santa Fe Drive.

Because the company I work for uses an Exchange infrastructure, I live in the MS world and thus it's my fault (or Microsoft's).

My Android phone does a better job at handling Exchange accounts than my mac. All my work environments are Mac environment, I even coded on open source OSX projects for a while so I am not the kind of person to just dismiss OSX because it is not a MS platform.

Like it or not, it is a reality that the Mail & Calendar are broken, the simple fact that Apple tries to convince everyone at each release that the new version is finally a good one is enough for me to see that they have trouble developing a good email/calendar clients.

And again, Exchange is one of the most used corporate infrastructure, that's the state of the market, and Apple should support it the best they can.
They could have done lots of things. Using soft pressure in various ways is not something that's new to governments or generally detrimental or something that's ever going to go away.

I guess Obama could also have written an anonymous letter to the editor instead of having a speech announcing and advocating his jobs programs. But that's not how the real world works. Obama openly and strongly advocating X, Y and Z is not tyranny.
The United States is a nation argued into existence, in part by blatantly inflammatory speech. It's in our national DNA, and it should stay there.
> Why not say he would like to live on Mars? Maybe because it's a dead planet and not very livable.

One could grow plants on Mars. It has close to a 24 hour day-night cycle, and enough sunlight. Growing plants on continental agricultural scales is infeasible with artificial light, but on Earth and Mars, you don't need that. All you need are pressurized greenhouses, and you could have full-blown agriculture on Mars. The industrial processes for creating polymer films from Martian resources on Mars to enable this have already been worked out.

With some genetic engineering, we might not even need the greenhouses.
And this is something that just mystifies people in many foreign countries.
If we ever get fusion down, Jupiter is probably a better target, as it has immense stores of hydrogen and tritium.
You're right. I need to read that book this weekend.
Since everyone is talking about power transmission like a bunch of boring old farts, I'll just leave this here:

I'm not sure why the parent is being downvoted, but it's consistent with the intelligence that's been released.
I'm more concerned by this:

>U.S. authorities said on Friday that they were investigating whether the film's producer, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a 55-year old Egyptian Coptic Christian living in Southern California, had violated terms of his prison release. Basseley was convicted in 2010 for bank fraud and released from prison on probation last June.

This sets a bad precedence. "If you create something that we disagree with, you will be investigated". With the ever expanding number of laws we have in this country -- we are all, most certainly, guilty of something.
I may not have made this clear but my argument wasn't that we all have the same way to report things but that we're all free to advocate for YT to do anything we want to advocate for.

I'm sorry you're not as powerful as the president but that's just reality. If I don't like the leather iCal in OS X I get to say that in comments 100 people read. If John Gruber doesn't like it he gets a million Apple users and employees to listen to him. Jony Ive's opinion even more powerful. Things aren't equal.
The makers of this video have admitted the purpose of the video was to denigrate Islam. Shouldn't that be enough in itself to classify this as hate speech. Also this issue bring a very interesting point. How google make these type of judgment. Do they have legal experts viewing these videos and making decision as such?

There is a lot of important issues being brought up as a result. How do we identify hate speech, who makes that kind of a judgement, what's the role of distribution channels in these cases, how much power the government has, is there a bigger responsibility for unseen cases?
I assume that the status server is not actively checking every Github server/service whenever someone pings it. It probably polls the servers every X seconds. The best place to store that type of data is in a DB.

Where else would you put it?

I have the Sennheiser 558 headphones [1] and Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 (now UE600) in-ear monitors [2].

For the most part I use the Sennheiser's. They sound great and are open, so you can hear people talking if someone wants to get your attention. They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day without a problem. They come with a pretty long cord too, which I guess is a plus for some people.

If I want to be dead to the world, I'll put in the UE's. Even if you aren't playing any music, they will block out most of the outside world. The sound is better than the Sennheiser's, but I tend to only have one earphone in most of the time, so that I can hear people come by. Also, the cord is pretty short, so without an extension, you're limited in the range you can travel around.

I would try to sway anyone away from using Bose headphones. Really, you're paying for the name, not the sound.

If you want to do some research, I would suggest checking out Headfonia [3]. They have really well thought out reviews on most of the headphones/earphones/amps in any budget range.

1. Show me some examples of what I can get for my money

2. Charging by the slide encourages a certain kind of presentation style. On the rare occasions that I do keynote presentations I usually have one very spare slide every few seconds, which ends up being thousands of dollars for one presentation.
They also asked the pastor not to do the Koran burning. If there is no implied legal threat, what is the big deal? The difference in this case is going after a third party host rather than the original poster.

Tunisia promises to end Internet censorship
Google is a business and it has every right to operate as it sees fit. Being a company that is headquartered in the US, I can't believe it would censor this video at all in any jurisdiction. It's not out of character for them considering the lengths it went to appease China but I don't think that was the right decision either.

I would hope that if I was ever faced with a similar situation I would choose based on my conscience not on ignorant local laws, what was best for the business, or what seemed to be the easiest choice at the time.

Edited for grammar.
My experience with 99designs (on the buying side) has been that there are a _lot_ of shitty "designers", but if you persevere someone from Romania will show up and do a pretty good job for very little money. But you have to know exactly what you want and you have to be willing to play editor.

It's actually kind of bizarre that so many Pythonistas actually have the kind of attitude that the article mocks, since Python is a thoroughly mediocre language. I can only attribute their patronizing disposition to a lack of genuine awareness of the broader programming world.
That's not true. CDMA is just one band. The iPhone 5 supports multiple bands, including GSM bands and LTE bands. It also includes a SIM card slot. The iPhone 5 can be unlocked and a new SIM inserted.
The fundamental problem is that anti-virus software operates on the principle of enumerating badness: a list of known viruses and their signatures, a list of suspicious patterns in binaries such as obfuscation techniques.

OSes should move to the opposite strategy, enumerating exactly what is allowed, and dropping anything else by default. The challenge here is that the granularity should be small enough for this to be effective, but on the other hand this gives configuration overhead for the user. For example, the firewall could enforce that only the user's preferred email application is allowed to send and receive mail. Currently the permissions in plugins and smartphone apps are too broad to be meaningful, but they're already experienced as a nuisance, so it's a difficult problem.
ostensibly because of this video

And actually because of policy, hence the "request".
Yes, I'm pretty familiar with Columbine. What you seemed to have missed in my question were the words "bomb threat".

When has anyone called a school and said "I've planted a bomb" and then a bomb ended up actually being there? I assert never.
I should point out that just throwing out a 100 point story over nothing is a bad plan career-wise - you definitely need to be able to back it up with reasons (we need to interface with systems x, y and z, this is comparable to other system w which took 8 months, we don't have any spec for doing a, b or c).

In that sense the 100 point estimate is a real one - a "small" feature (eg. add a form to your web site) might be two or three weeks of work.
Celery is one of the easiest things to set up. It really doesn't get much simpler. Your configuration is living in your django project as python source code, and `celeryd` is no-fuss.
You could create an iTunes playlist with your songs.

1) Create a playlist with all the songs.

2) Right click on it, and click "duplicate".

3) Drag the songs to the order you want. Remove any songs you don't want in this set.

4) From the menu, go "File -> Print" and select song list.

Repeat steps 2 to 3 as many times you want. You can also rename the set playlist, to reflect the set name (e.g "2012-22-09").

Alternatively: you could also use some "todo management" style software to print lists of things (in your case, song names) that you can re-arrange.

Bento might also be an option.
is there any kind of financial agreement behind this kind of thing? are google paying something to stack overflow to compensate for the extra load, or are s.o. happy to have the extra traffic / eyeballs? maybe they are going to be a sponsor or whatever it is that gets an icon displayed? and if it's "free" is there discussion beforehand, or it is just assumed that s.o. will handle things?

not trying to imply anything, just curious how shifts like this, which could be significant in terms of extra load, are arranged.
Fellow Baltimorean! It's not so boring... so long as you're over 21.
So people aren't confused as to what you are responding to, it was a comment of mine. A lot of people apparently completely misunderstood the point, so I deleted it. Sorry for orphaning your response.
They made a public request whose intent is at least partly to persuade people in the Middle East that the American government does not support the bigoted views of the filmmaker. The government has an entirely legitimate wish to dissociate itself from this film and dispel the perception that it is intended as a piece of propaganda.
> It's completely unreasonable to ask the American people to throw out parts of the Constitution to try to appease clearly incompatible religious and juvenile groups half a world away.

This is crazy hyperbole. Can you please explain how the Administration's request (not demand) to take down the video is even remotely similar to your description?
The state's hunger for information about all of us is really something that ought to give us pause as we continue to move more of our lives online. Things that were impossible for the state to know in the past, such as our location and our thoughts at specific points in time, are now claimed to be indispensable to them.
That's one hell of a story of hustle. What you've discovered, I think, is (paraphrasing Steve Jobs [1]) that the world around you was built by people just like you. You've seen behind the curtain, and there's no wizard, only some dude who's no smarter than you are figuring it out as he goes along. Kudos to you for discovering this at such a young age, I didn't get it 'till my twenties.

My advice to you: put the last section of your article out of your mind. You've achieved some pretty amazing things, focus on that, and keep shipping. Comparing yourself to others is a path to insanity, there will always be someone who has accomplished more, done it faster, made it look easier, etc. And one more thing-- you're never too young to do anything, but keep in mind that with age comes experience. There are people out there (like the ones you mentioned), who have been where you are before, have faced similar challenges, and overcome them. No matter how early you start, you'll always have more experience the older you get, so continue to seek out the advice and mentorship of those who have walked the path before you.

Sorry, I didn't know your history. I was truly curious to know if this was a problem you decided to solve strictly so you could use Go, or if that was just your, pardon me, "go to" language. It appears the latter. I hope I'm not implying that you SHOULDN'T have used it; my query was truly just curiosity, since I'm curious about the language. I'm trying to get a feel for what other people are doing with it "for real".
They should probably start by looking through the comments on their site. I'd say +70% of them qualify as hate speech.
How is this better than doing it in Excel with copy/paste as he does now?

What benefit does LaTeX bring, so that he has to install some hundreds of mbs of a TeX distro and learn the basics to work in it? Does he need elaborate math symbols or fine grained typography for a set list?
Awesome! It's nice to read accounts like this from those who have braved the task and successfully completed a ground-up rewrite.

Looking ahead, I can see the formation of dedicated development teams who specialize in rewriting working-but-just-barely apps completely from scratch. As those teams get better at doing this kind of work (and their clients prosper!), more companies will start to seriously consider the re-write option. Who knows, a whole industry could form just for app rewrites.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I really like what you said up here and upvoted you for it.

In the hope you see this, I have another question for you: in the startup world, what recourse is there against unethical competition? Some companies like Uber (esp. in Boston, NYC), are able to fight the good fight. Others, like Padmapper, are trying to do so.

But for the majority of companies, legal recourse (especially looking for legislative redress rather than establishing case law) is not an option. What should an ethical startup do when faced with acting unethically (yet similar to established competiton) or not existing?

Again, thank you for putting the price->ethics perspective so elegantly.
Are quality angels being priced out of these rounds? Definitely. But I don't think that quality VCs are getting priced out. The top VCs know that each year about 15 startups are responsible for the majority of the returns, returns that pale in comparison to the initial investment, even those from current YC seed rounds. The VCs not getting priced out are those that can try to self-guarantee some sort of return from their investment. The top half dozen VCs provide a lot more than just cash to a startup. They often help with hiring, since their rolodexes of talent are very valuable.

An acqui-hire may be a failure insofar as VCs making money off founders are concerned because those founders can find a way to cut out investors (if they want to burn bridges), but AFAIK large acqui-hires of entire teams (20+ people) aren't total losses for top VCs that can buy their way into a promising YC startup since many of those employees don't have double/single triggers and will move to the new company in an acqui-hire. With that in mind, top VCs can stack promising companies with talent they have contact with and still at least break even at the end of the day if not profit. While it is certainly not their goal, top VCs can at least avoid losing money by just shuffling talent around Silicon Valley. This makes investing in the strong founders PG and co fund attractive because of the reduced downside.

Big acqui-hires are a hedge. You need a solid founding team that can manage team growth and a solid talent rolodex to be able to make those hedges.

There are a lot of things that humans can do that robots can't. Adaptability/flexibility/decision-making are the biggest areas in which robots are very deficient. When the RTT is over a year, flexibility of the payload is a pretty big deal. We're also ultimately not just doing this for scientific knowledge, but also knowledge about how to best become an interplanetary species, and those kinds of questions are usually best answered with humans acting as willing test subjects/participants.
>"Age is just a number."

Age is a proxy for wisdom. The longer you are on this earth, the more wisdom and experience you will acquire. That has value. But that's not to say that age alone should be a dealbreaker or barrier to success, as the author has proven.

I'm 32; I look back at me at 18, 19, 20, even 25 and laugh at how little I knew. I have learned so much since then, and continue to do so. The main problem with being young is that you don't realize what you've yet to realize.
Probably not if that's what you start with. Carnegie Mellon now starts all CS students with ML, I believe.

For those of us who learned to program in an imperative language first, the difficulty with learning functional programming is unlearning all of our bad habits.
