I can only guess the format for archived tweets is very different from newer one, maybe just a compressed text file, which the engineers have to automate extracting and parsing at scale. Doesn't seem that hard, but the format was probably a hack job back in the day and there are probably a lot of considerations, e.g. metadata like RTs and favorites.

Plus, CEO's comments sound like it's been set up as a side project. The kind of management style books like Mythical Man Month and Peopleware warned us about.
No modern society has seen the birthrate drop like this at all, regardless of the outcome, so we are in a bit of undefined territory. That doesn't mean it is bad, just differnt (which is enough to get a lot of people needlessly alarmed, sadly).
According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297 the N10 is an Exynos5 device and thus not compatible anyway. Not sure though if the Google team is reviewing the whole set of patches (and if such a patch would not slip through their hands).
As I have never raised children, I can't speak from experience. But I feel like the same thing occurs in nature. Occasionally the parent needs to establish dominance.

I am not advocating beating your kids, but if they are hell bent on testing the limits I think you have to show them that there is definitely a line that can not be crossed.

Depression is caused by so many different things for different people. I don't know you or your situation, but here's what really helped me finally leave years and years of on/off depression:

- Are you getting enough sunlight?
- Are you exercising?
- Do you live in an extremely stressful environment / city?
- Do you live near greenery and vegetation or a cold concrete jungle?
- When was the last time you took a vacation?
- If you're an introvert do you have enough time alone to yourself? If you're an extrovert do you spend enough time with others or are you isolated?

You'd be amazed at how external solutions can help motivate internal ones.
Of course there are people who fall on the border between different types and who will test differently each time they take an MBTI test.

When viewed with the appropriate amount of skepticism it can be quite interesting to view social and relationship dynamics through the lens offered by Myers Briggs.

For example, those who are not NT can probably not really understand me in the way I want to be understood.
A large portion of country wealth is often tied up in land and infrastructure. Wealth generally creates more wealth (through interest and similar), so the same wealth spread across a smaller number of people will push GDP per capita upwards.

Higher incomes are also closely associated with better education. If you keep the number of universities and schools constant while decreasing the population, you give a larger percentage of the population access to better education.

If a family has two children, the wealth of the family must be divided between both children and each child has less individual wealth. As you need wealth to start a business, a higher base wealth across the population means more chance of new successful businesses being started by these children.

If a family has no children, the estate will move into public control, effectively increasing GDP per capita for the surviving population.

A reason for a low birthrate in Japan is lack of financial security. This means that people who have low wealth are self-selecting out of reproduction, effectively moving their wealth into public ownership when they pass away and moving the average up as the proportion of low wealth to high wealth families is shifted.

So yes, practically, GDP per capita will go up in Japan as the population shrinks. The global economy is more complex than just 'producing shiny widgets', or China would be far more well off than it is. Capitalism in action.

EDIT: As pointed out by others correctly, increased welfare burdens from too large a proportion of retired citizens will have an effect. This can swing two ways: increased taxes, or reduced welfare payments.

If reduced welfare payments is chosen, it will cancel out the problem. Japan will hopefully choose this route out of self preservation.

If increased taxes is chosen, it will effectively tunnel income into the housing sector (old age homes, etc) and medical sector (medicine, life support, etc). The housing sector increase will be offset by a smaller housing demand from lower population. The medical sector is the big issue: if this wealth can be tunneled into Japanese medicine and health care, then it will simply be a transfer from taxpayers to Japanese in the medical sector. This would probably cause all kinds of distortions and should be avoided. However, it's not guaranteed to be a bad thing, I think anyway. You'll just have more Japanese going to medical school.
Hah! Yeah, I imagine that this answer is probably outside of the question the OP is asking, but I do always enjoy hearing about scaling requirements for projects outside of those I have dealt with. Do your requirements (If you don't mind me asking) require a more disk, memory or CPU focused infrastructure?
Seriously OP, this is the best advice. I know it may sound silly, but if you're sleeping well and eating well, you will notice an improved quality of life

Expert deciphers WWII pigeon message that stumped GCHQ decoders
Please don't make the mistake of assuming that any kind of growth is constant -- people respond to incentives and if the price of having a child goes up, people naturally respond by having fewer children. And yes, the price of child is the highest it has even been.

Just to satisfy my curiousity, how many people were in your society to begin with? At what age did they reproduce? Was the reproduction constant or did it change between couples?

Got a source for that statement? For all we know, this could be related to the lawsuit following Motorola and Microsoft not being able to agree on the per-phone fee for ActiveSync. If the ActiveSync servers require a license per connected user (Client Access License), that would certainly seem like a valid cause for this decision.

At Qard.at we used 3 Heroku dynos for: web server, mobile API, and our CMS. We used MongoLab for our MongoDB database. We also used Amazon S3 for static assets like CSS and images. The system was tested with Blitz.io and could scale to 7M hits/month. Our monthly fees were less than $1. The takeaway from this is not that you should run your company on free services, but that you can get started for (as good as) free with a scalable architecture which is then easily transferrable to AWS or similar once the need arises.
It's painful to watch Android deal with endemic security problems that Windows began addressing over a decade ago. Note this isn't the first occurrence of crapware resulting from OS customization ending up on a few million Android devices, I remember at least one more vendor shipping a setuid root binary.

Can anyone comment on Windows 8's customization model from the manufacturer's perspective? A wild guess is that something like this is much less likely: even if a driver leaves some kernel object unsecured, access is difficult given how heavily walled off native APIs are on WinRT.
This is wrong on a profound level. GDP is Gross Domestic Product. In other words, all the goods and services produced. The price level and quantity are deeply tied to demand and for most goods/services, demand is tied to the population. More people means more goods/services sold at a higher quantity and price. Economic growth is largely population growth. The Japanese economic stagnation is largely caused by their population stagnation and will certainly not be fixed by it.

Unfortunately, giving userspace direct access to the hardware is quite common GPL-circumvention technique used by embedded vendors.

One creative example I've seen was an x86 mITX motherboard targeted at the embedded market whose "Linux driver package" included kernel module implementing a simple virtual machine which executed programs uploaded by userspace and gave them unrestricted access to the x86 IO space.
This discussion about "semi-automatic" versus "automatic" weapons actually strengthens the case FOR regulation; automatic weapons are regulated => they're not used in mass-killings; semi-automatic weapons are not regulated => they are used in mass-killings.

How one can conclude from these facts that less regulation is better, I don't know.

All guns are bad, and the more automatic they are, the worse.

The NRA says "guns don't kill people, people do" but the truth is that guns help people who want to kill people, kill more people.

If by "Detroit area" you mean the Detroit metropolitan area, it's only lost 3% of its population between the last two censuses, not exactly a huge exodus. Around 15,000 net loss each year out of 4M+.

If you mean just the city of Detroit, then the comparison with rural Japan is not too far off: young people moving away from their homes because there are no jobs, leaving behind their parents and grandparents. Detroit is the rural Japanese fishing village with 1 grade-school kid in this analogy.

> One author exposed how becoming an exit node for Tor allowed all the traffic on the Tor network to pass right through your machine. Becoming an exit node was the same as performing a Man-In-The-Middle attack.

This is de-contextualised scaremongering.

What the poster is referring to is that when you leave the Tor network, the connection is as it would have been before. This is by design. So if you were not using TLS, then your traffic could be read, as is the case with ALL http etc. Simple. Use SSL/TLS/SSH/ etc

Do a trace route to google. All those intermediate parties are capable of the same thing.

But if you use TLS the attack is useless.

Tor provides one property, Anonymity, and it does this incredibly well. Anonymity and Privacy are related by distinct properties. Obviously if you send traffic to a site and sign off with your name, Tor can't help you be anonymous there. Tor cannot prevent misuse & ignorance.

As for this 'MITM' attack, Tor's design is such that you do not have to trust the exit nodes for it to work.

As for the comparison with I2P, I don't know much about it, but I support any FOSS project that aims to provide new types of anonymity. As I understand it the problem with I2p at the moment is that there is 1 exit node facing the regular net. It's not entirely clear how I2P evades what you consider 'the problem with Tor' when connecting with the regular net.

EDIT: Yep, did a bit of research and i2p is subject to the same sort of "attack" you describe "Like Tor, I2P does not magically encrypt the Internet. You are vulnerable to snooping by the outproxy operators." http://www.i2p2.de/faq.html#outproxy
very cool debugging nightmare,

To let our programmers be a bit lazy, we want fat (2-socket) nodes. That allows us to do things like have gigabyte-sized tables in memory on all nodes for instant access.

At that kind of server core count, it turns out that we can keep 8-12 disks busy, when crawling and indexing. For serving results, it turns out that we can keep 2 ssds busy, and, 96 gigs of ram seems to be the sweet spot.

The one thing we don't stress so much is the network. We're very conscious of locality, and we can get away with having 1 gigabit to all the nodes. We use beefy 10 gig switches in the middle to give high bisection.
I'm sorry but you have gone off on a tangent there.
We weren't arguing about the effectiveness of the policy just the rationale behind it, I believe. I don't have any stats on that, do you?

There's no interest genie either. If no one can invest and earn returns on borrowed money, there's nothing to sustain interest.

Inherited wealth isn't enough to sustain anyone but the rich. GDP only measures new wealth anyway, not preexisting wealth. You have to continue producing goods and services. In fact, most forms of accumulated wealth (currency, securities, real estate) are really just shares of these goods and services as they're produced, but you need at least some actual labor for that to work.

If you selectively culled unproductive people, per capita GDP would go up. It's not clear that low birth rates accomplish this.
I think you're missing the point.

Expressing your 'creativity' is absolutely something you should do in public, because that's the only way you can learn. As a programmer Bootstrap is the easiest way to get an idea, not a product off the ground. So experimenting is awesome. Deviating from that shows that you want to differentiate your work and are actually putting a little thought into the UI. You're also setting up a framework for yourself for next time so you can iterate and make it better.

This experimenting it really what teaches you. Not just design (since you probably aren't doing it right) but how to use technologies like HTML and CSS beyond what is prepackaged for you. And this is key, since a lot of people don't know how to correctly use these, but they can add a few classes and grid layout.
Arab Jews certainly don't.
this exploit is probably connected more to the company than the processor. If they can rubberstamp (or not even realize they're) shipping hacks like this they could be doing it again.
Another good reason might be because there are a ton of illegal onion sites on Tor that they are investigating.
Yes! I was very confused when I saw that Python was ranked high for being "good for beginners" but ranked low for being "usually bad for beginners". Then I realized it was actually actually intended to be ranked low in terms of being "bad for beginners". Which makes sense, if barely.

If you're going to have "ranked high" and "ranked low", make all the attributes positive.
Interesting... I sort of agree. But the strange thing is to start supporting rich text in UIKit controls without providing a sane API for manipulating rich text. That's not problem introduced with v1.0, it's a problem introduced at v6.0.

The problems I run into tend to be quite circumscribed deficiencies that are more like oversights than deep design flaws. I'd attribute that to the pressure to rapidly improve the API rather than the framework never have being thought through (In general, I find UIKit better thought out than AppKit).

Whether it was the official policy or not, I'd imagine that the UIKit team probably wanted UIKit to be an API... Wouldn't a private api that looked like that just be completely over-engineered?

It's not. Current projections are that global population will peak under 10 billion then start declining. China is going to peak in 2026 then start shrinking. Overpopulation is a solved problem for now. The big problem is that now all those people want to live like Americans.
The entire infrastructure for this kind of endeavour -- that is, having lots of children -- has gone and not only in Japan. Biology does not work by restoring the birthrate, I suspect. I guess it rather works by exponentially growing the sub-populations who still have these high birthrates: 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 16. In other words, I strongly suspect that most of the current Japanese population will have no descendants in a few generations, while a small, distinct subgroup will produce all of the population. So, all Japanese in a hundred years or so will descend from the few Japanese that tend to make ten children today.
Quad-Core GHz+ CPUs are "good enough" for every day code development? Seriously? We really do live in a world of bloatware if we need 4 cores to support an IDE or a classic editor + compiler/interpreter setup. This really reminds me of May's Law and that it needs to be addressed.

How would you solve the issue of no-go zones, crime and violence, incompatibility and intolerance, and lack of unity?

Because those are all the things that increase in a non-marginal way when you mass immigrate a society and start replacing its identity, culture, and people with another.

Would you build more prisons? Would you make excuses for the new people? What would you do exactly when that same society starts breaking apart?
Why is it so hard for people to conceive of the possibility that there may be multiple issues contributing to tragedies like Friday's? Mental illness is certainly an issue that does not get enough attention in the US. Gun control is also an issue that does not get enough (real) attention. These /two/ issues, and likely others, are together responsible for the shooting.

We need to address both.

From that list, I count 16 events in the US and 4 in the EU. Populations are 501M (EU) and 316M (US) (Wikipedia). So 4:1 incidence rate, 6:1 adjusted for population. Very similar to the overall homicide and gun death rates.

I'd agree that Scandinavia has a bigger problem (EU would be at 2 without Finland). (Norway is not part of the EU, and I also didn't count the US soldier going on a rampage in Afghanistan).

I guess I wasn't clear enough. Lets break down the working population into categories:

[unique skills - ceos, etc]
X people
[highly demanded skills - top class engineers, specialty surgeons, etc]
Y people
[regular required jobs - doctors, pharmacists, designers, etc]
Z people
[unskilled jobs]
A people
[unemployed]

As the population decreases, the demand for each of the sets should decrease in proportion if per capita GDP would remain the same (ignoring wealth effects). However, this isn't the case. If Sony needs 10,000 engineers to create their phones for export to USA, they will still need 10,000 engineers regardless of decreasing population. In addition, a medical school that takes 50 students per year will continue to take 50 students per year even if populations fall, as the number of applicants is far in excess of 50.

This is just a few examples, but you could easily find far more. The root cause of this is the existing wealth of the country will enable more people to succeed as the population decreases. A further indication of this effect is that GDP per capita is strongly related to wealth.
