Indeed, Suprnova shutdown due to legal proceedings. Real jailtime is now coming to Piratebay founders, they are even on record as begging for reduced jailtime, after the verdict.

It's simple: the exist node in both Tor and Piratebay has all the legal exposure. That server/caching router/proxy could become impossible to host anywhere. Move it to USA? Expect 1 hour of uptime:-) Russia? Expect 10seconds page load times.

Any experience hosting people out there? Are Sweden and The Netherlands the only few-questions-asked options on town?

Personally I'm thrilled when people use my product. I've never thought of the term user having a negative connotation when referring to software users. Is that really a vestige of hacker culture?

Dorsey's post gives me an uneasy feeling. Because everyone receiving the memo knows on some level that it's BS. It's couched in the terms of showing respect for users as people. But the subtext is simply that we need to act as if we respect the people using our product because they provide money.

The whole exalting of the customer in modern marketing speak is emblematic of a lack of respect for people as fellow human beings. It's kind of a perversion of the cliche "the customer is always right. Obviously the customer is not always right, that's why the frickin' expression exists! It's an acknowledgment of the asymmetry that exists in buyer/seller transactions. You're not supposed to believe it, just act like you do.

It's unfortunate that he invoked the ridiculous broken window fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_window_fallacy) in the course of making his real point, which was that making the internet secure or reliable from the bottom up is prohibitively expensive and that security and reliability should be layered on top only where required.

I think it needs to be repeated that pretending to know something isn't the same as cheating on a test.

People cheat on tests because it increases the final score. That score contributes to the final grade. That grade determines ones rank at graduation time. Attaining the degree has numerous benefits.

When I was younger, I was the kind of person who would not admit to not knowing. I faked it. I wanted to be cool.

But I never cheated. I didn't care enough about the scores, grades, or even doing well. I figured I'd get the grade I got. I didn't care about the system.

Now, older and a little wiser, I don't fake knowing to be cool, and don't fake knowing to make it in the system. I just don't give a fuck.

AOL launches Alto, its biggest conceptual leap since 'you've got mail'
BS! Crypto software has to be open source to be taken seriously - all the other things you write about are additional factors that count in and are not related to this one argument, so you are trying to wishiwashi the discussion - it only shows that you think your readers are not able to think clearly and in a well-structured way or you are not able to do it.

Without sourcecode no crypto routines can be trusted - period. Anything else might work in the fake industries, where producing marketing lies is part of a standardized way to make money, but not in the real crypto world.

No, "user" is a great word if you're talking about what it's like to use the product, and how to improve the experience of using it. A word like "buyer" or "seller" might be better in some cases, but risk being to narrow, because a seller for instance will occasionally have other goals in the app then just doing a sale.

Similarly, "user" is probably not a great word when you're talking about business, because your customers do more than just use the app.

I don't mind being both a user and a customer and an individual, depending on who's talking about me in what context.

Not with the ban system. Here in France, you can report companies that make automated phone calls and they get strongly punished. I haven't received one in years.

Of course, sometimes I get calls from actual humans for polls or advertising a product, but it's much less of a bother since it happens less often and you can reject them.
More useful than pronouncibility would be spellability. I'd score domains with only a single spelling as higher e.g. twang.com over base.com (bass.com). To do this the algorithm would just need to scan for graphemes that share a common phoneme with other graphemes and weight those lower.

But I guess that governments expect large-scale surveillance to be the primary way to attract the all-seeing eye.

National security was done a certain way during the cold war, when facing highly organized intelligence services. The swarms of nutjobs, loosely herd by amorphous terrorist organizations, are much harder to detect; many people probably have high hopes about big data and statistical methods to find them.

I posted my solution few minutes after the first solution was posted . ( my approach was completely different on handling the file uploading) later after some time I was shocked to see that the first answer was edited and was following the approach I had followed.

I am not saying that code was copied. what I am saying is that it's not good to allow other participants to see the different solutions .
Also I would suggest that you maintain version of every answer. ( so that you can track the edits ) ..

Looking at the last plot, you can't conclude that police give out more tickets at the end of the month, unless you also conclude that police like to give out tickets around the 8th, and don't like to give out tickets around the 11th of each month.
Problem is, there are no error bars, if there were, it'd probably show that there is no significant evidence for the hypothesis. The error of the mean of the last plot is probably comparable to the signal itself.

One word of advice, don't do the automatic upgrade, do a full reinstall instead. After trying that for the last 5 or so releases. Always thinking that this time they fixed it. I'm not falling for that again. You'll see, as always, some reports of people saying they tried and it worked. But be careful, it's a trap!

Ignoring the nonsense logic quoted here, the Internet does need crime because any medium that does not have crime does not have true freedom of expression.

A street where it's impossible to be mugged is also a street that you cannot freely walk down with no restrictions. Something fundamental about the act of walking down the street would have to be removed for it to be completely free from crime.

Similarly, a computer that can't get malware isn't a truly general-purpose computer -- it cannot run an arbitrary program.

It depends on how you see ethics.

The Categorical Imperative (act only according to that maxim by which you can also will that it would become a universal law) suggests it is hypocritical - if it's bad for everyone to do it, it's bad for anyone to do it. Of course, not everyone agrees with Kant.

But that's not the only way to view ethics. More pragmatic people would say - "Sometimes the game is broken, and you have to do things which feel a bit wrong. That doesn't mean you can't advocate for the rules to be changed, though".

I don't think you can say he's a total hypocrite. He's not suggesting that all his competitors virtuously refrain from abusing patents, while he himself is abusing them. I don't see any real dishonesty or inconsistency.
It's also worth noting that the error bars on a given year won't be constant for the month, due to the differences in expected citations.
Business Cards as High-Tech ambassadors
Might be why Microsoft was willing to pay twice as much as Google for it, too ($8 billion), for something that is hard to imagine they would get their money back in the next 2 decades or longer. So maybe they have a different business model we are not supposed to know about.
Great idea !
However, I have a problem : let's say I want all the domains starting with the letter "C" with 10 characters max. It says me "Limit of 1500 results reached. Narrow your search parameters to view more results", but there is no way for me to narrow my search parameters while still obtaining the domains starting with the letter "C" with 10 characters max.
Anybody has a hint, or is this an error ?

Cross-datacenter replication becomes a Really Bad Idea?
His "broken window fallacy" like point is an important one, but he poorly justified it. Stopping one rogue window breaker is admirable, stopping them universally has its disadvantages.

The proposals for a secure network usually include avoiding the security confrontation through vetting users, extreme legal protection, etc. These solutions prevents us from maintaining 'glaziers' at all, which in turn leads to catastrophe when our global security solution fails.

For example, if the FBI virtually eliminated viruses by chasing individual virus writers internationally with extreme laws and international agreement we would be even more vulnerable to the threat of state backed cyber attacks.

It is really a "War of the Worlds" analogy.

Maybe, but remember that we are the same people that installed/pushed Ubuntu on the computers from our family and friends and gave free support on forums and irc.

We did that because we believed it was a better alternative. So some of us get passionate when advertisements creep in the default installation...
I might be wrong but salaries in the bay (and I suspect other tech hubs) are ridiculous compare to other areas of the US.
Excellent, I learned something new, thanks.
I think you will always have cyber-crime or any type of crime for that matter. One thing that keeps a limit on the number of things that are considered criminal is that there is only so much that can be enforced. If people stopped doing things like murders it would free up enforcement resources to go after smaller perceived wrongs.

This article is quite vague, I don't see how it would be possible to make a truly secure internet without figuring out how to develop 100% non exploitable software.

The article also doesn't seem to draw a strong distinction between security and cryptography, this is something I have to explain to people all the time.
Music recommendation/discovery feature - finally!
And a lemur: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-tailed_lemur
Yes I do use Firefox and that's a rather silly assertion if you consider the technical implementation.

In the case of Firefox, a default search page for Google is included in the Firefox Chrome as is a default search engine. The default page doesn't call home at all until you enter a search i.e. until you use it. The rest of the browser is functional without using this feature, so you can type "duckduckgo.com" without transmitting data to google.

The same is not true for the Unity shopping lens which transmits your searches for local data and applications on your workstation to Canonical and Amazon by default.
How to create company dashboards with the vital parameters of the company
So, the argument is that you can't stop all the criminal, rather than that it's undesirable to do so. As you wind down the population of criminals (at increasing marginal cost), you wind down the incentive to protect against crime, making the lives of the remaining criminals easier (further increasing the cost of apprehending them).
Thanks for the kind words,

Why I stopped using the phrase “This is not rocket science.”
The sample issue - which convinced me to subscribe - should be more visible, perhaps even as a quote on the main page. It's just that I came to the site and didn't know what to do or what it's about until I found this sample - I wonder how many people never find it and leave without subscribing.
I really don't understand why the upgrade seems to be so hit and miss between people. My current laptop has been on the same ubuntu install since (at least) 10.04. I've even upgraded to beta versions a couple of times and the only problem I've ever had was when I upgraded to the 12.10 beta and it ran out of disk space in the middle of the install. But that was recoverable.

Of course, this comment might be a trap. There's only one way to find out...
These Jokers, would they be the equivalent of "Hacker Manifesto" type hackers / groups like Anonymous?
Yes, but only because it has ~infinite marketing hype.

It isn't and shouldn't be a general replacement for a RDBMS; it makes some interesting sacrifices for performance that you have to understand before using it. But it is very much a quality product; it makes some easy things very easy and some very hard things possible.
Why Are Women Paid Less?
i think your analysis is slightly flawed - you have no anchor / point of reference.

maybe a better question would be, for ever hour worked, how many ticks are issued. aka normalizing against the number of patrol men/women active for a day or an hour.

e.g. more police on patrol == more tickets, but does not mean each police man/woman is biased to issue more tickets near the end of the month to meet their quota.

also consider counting backwards. e.g end of the month = 0, 1 day before end of month = 1, 2 days before end of month = 2 etc..

my 2cents.

Apple loses UK tablet design appeal versus Samsung
I've never used this site before, so I can't comment on how it used to work. This interface is not at all intuitive though.

- click a play button on a song
- music starts playing
- click a different play button
- nothing happens
- click pause
- music stops
- click a different play button
- nothing happens
- click play
- first song continues playing

Steps to get a second song to actually play after you've got a first one playing:

- find the word Queue (non-underlined, not a button) in the lower right
- click it
- click "clear queue"
- hit the back button (for some reason, the page has navigated away)
- click the play button on a song

I can understand how they want it to work, after plenty of frustration just trying to listen to some songs. But they've clearly been spending way too much time with it internally without showing it to real world users.

Expectation: clicking the play button on a song plays the song.

Suggestion: make all this "queueing" stuff be something you opt into, after deciding that you want it and learning how it's supposed to work. Or at the very least add a second play button per song that actually plays the song.

EDIT: I just found the link to see the old interface, and despite the above, this new interface is a million times better. The old interface was an empty box saying "what song do you want to hear?" I have no f'ng clue what song I want to hear. I'm on your site so that you can show me some cool new music that I might want to hear.

Every link on that old interface leads to an empty screen saying basically "go away, you uncultured, non-music-knowing-about person and don't come back until you've researched enough about music to add some songs to your collection." This new look comes across more like "check out all this music. It's all good, so come in and play around". Much better way to greet newcomers to your site.
