Not to completely derail this into a pi.pe thread, but...

a) I'd love to use it, but you're really making it hard to find out what destinations/sources you support.

b) There's quite a bit of bandwidth cost, so I'm baffled as to how you can do this profitably. This makes me wary. Which plays into

c) Your facebook app requires permission to post on my behalf? Sorry, but over my dead body. Especially since I can't give you money. (I assume it's to upload pictures, but there's no way to know. If you had separate up/download apps, you could sidestep that if I just want to export)

So, overall, it's an awesome idea. And I'd happily give you money to do this for me, but you don't let me :)

And if you want to make me really happy: Allow me to set up a continuous job, add s3/google drive destination support.

You're not yet invested in the JVM, so have you considered some alternatives like Haskell or OCaml? I've found these to be simpler and more productive. The main worry would be about libraries, but that really depends on what you're doing. If it's web development, both Haskell and OCaml have top-notch frameworks that are very good for asynchronous code. OCaml also has a very good JavaScript compiler, so you can use it on the front-end. (Haskell can also be compiled to JS, but I've never used it that way.)
I guess I should add this to the list I compiled earlier, but which number?

Possible fallout from Sandy Hook that is far worse than the event:

5) We put metal detectors at all schools, not just the ones that make sense because of racial stereotypes.

4) We create a new branch of government called SchoolLand Security that does nothing but harrass people and make cameos in pop culture entertainment.

3) We force all students to wear GPS trackers and if they are not in the right place before or during school hours we send the new SLS to investigate.

2) We rewrite the constitution and remove the right to bear arms, and a few other inconsequential things like free speech.

1) We create a TSA/Air Warden mix official in each school that has carries the 1 gun allowed in school combined with the authority to cavity search your sons and daughters at their own discretion.
Nvidia Tegra 4 - 72 core GPU / 6 times faster than Tegra 3
Eh, people worry about this but in my experience with storing vehicles is that it's really not that much of a problem. I put a motorcycle away for 1 year with zero prep. Next year, fired it up, ran the gas through (it seemed a little sluggish but nothing that can't be attributed to placebo), and filled it up fresh. And that's on a carburetor motorcycle with transistorized ignition, which is going to be much more finicky than a modern fuel-injected car with computer-controlled ignition.
Because the resolution shift happens client side, before the photo is transmitted to their servers.

I want the pi to be nice, it just isn't responsive enough to be usable. I tried the pi app store on a new 512mb pi and the recommended raspbian image. The pi store is broken, clicking on anything takes you to the library tab, a white square, and after a second takes you back to the original tab. Of the 8 or so apps you can click, none of them work. Yeah I tried more than 1 pi so its not that I got a broken pi. Not sure what to think about the pi, just that its only useful as a commandline embedded computer.
As far as I can tell, some Android devices also save your photos (with filters) in a separate album, so you may not need to download them from Instagram directly.

^That might have helped a little.
It does matter. Even if we're generating energy by burning fossil fuels, the turbines at the plant are so much more efficient than the car engines.

That's a great map except they fail to state the MPG of the "Gas Car" they are comparing too. Given the numbers in that, I'd be willing to bet a Prius outperforms the Electric in some of the worst states.

Edit: Assumption is stated as 22mpg at the bottom of the page.

That's fair if you are comparing the Model S to a similar luxury car. It also means the Prius wins in a lot of states.

The most likely scenario for Instagram photos being used in advertising would be online, not in print. So the size is fine.

> "Fossile fuel electricity generators (utilities power plants) are often times more efficient than burning the same amount in your car"

Replace "often" with "always". I don't know of any power plant that's less efficient than an automobile engine.

The efficiency increase just by going to fossil fuel grid power is pretty insane all by itself, even accounting for transmission losses. Even if we just kept burning fossil fuels in our power plants, and converted all cars to electrics, the efficiency increase would be incredible.
To me that fragment says that the story is a bit more colourful than what really happened. This quote comes from Raymond Chen.

Most of what he talks about, I don't care about. I used to care a lot about DRM, I in fact swore I'd never do business with Audible because of DRM. Turns out, I care less about the DRM than about getting good content at a good price. It's also part of moving everything to the cloud - I'm more used to the idea of not having a "physical" bookshelf full of books, but rather a bookshelf keep by Amazon. It actually makes things easier for me as a consumer. Remote wipe I assume was a one-off.

About the other stuff, it doesn't really impact me as an Amazon user. The only thing I'm interested in is them squeezing small publishers, because I do want to make sure I keep having good content... but so does Amazon, so I trust them to work it out. I don't mind if Amazon becomes a large publisher themselves, it'll probably work in my favor.

In general, almost everything Stallman cares about is uninteresting to me, and the few stuff I think he's "right" about I think he takes to extremes that are, frankly, crazy.
Principle 5 of the UK Data Protection Act says:

http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/the_...

Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/the_...

It's not the same as a right to be forgotten, but it does say companies need to think about (and presumably be prepared to argue in court) their need for data.

> In some cases, you may need to keep personal data so you can defend possible future legal claims. However, you could still delete information that could not possibly be relevant to such a claim. Unless there is some other reason for keeping it, personal data should be deleted when such a claim could no longer arise.

I'll admit it - I checked the source of "Rock Kickass" to figure out how to kill the boss. Luckily it was nicely commented.
Ah, but then you have to choose which masters to be influenced by.

Sorry, you can't get yourself out of the picture.

Anyway, I disagree with your premise. Sure, we are subject to many influences. And probably, very few people stop to consider and analyze those influences, to decide how much weight to give each. But it is possible to do that -- and to the extent you do, you are indeed thinking for yourself.
Yup. All you've got to do is copy it over from a Windows XP machine, if you have one laying around.

Aside from the explanation others have quoted, I'm guessing some of it was also an aesthetic decision. They could probably still go and bring it back using WOW64, but it still looks like a Win95-era program, whereas all the other games have been replaced with better-looking rewrites. That and I think it only supports a resolution of 640x480.
Interesting. I've just checked again and I do have it. Obviously not a transient problem - perhaps you should email pg and let him know directly.

>if the energy to power that car is being generated by dirtier or more costly ways... it doesn't really matter.

Maybe theoretically, but if you do the math then even 100% coal isn't dirty enough – the Tesla Model S gets 24 MPGe in that case, compared to just 17 MPG for the BMW M5. Energy cost compares favorably as well – charging in Hawaii (37¢ per kWh!) would only cost 14¢/mi, compared to 20¢/mi for the M5 (@$3.50).

The question has never been, "which is the cheapest/cleanest to operate?" Batteries have been the clear winner for some time. The challenge that faces EVs is, "does the high initial price of batteries negate the lifetime savings?" We're not there yet for family cars, but for full-size luxury sedans it seems to have arrived.
Do people really still use Perl? It seems to have yielded greatly to other languages in the past few years.

> using the existing infrastructure

I'm not aware of any rules that force cable providers to resell their infrastructure (like Google is doing willing with their fiber). I think, at least at one point, DSL providers had to allow competition using their lines. Sonic.net for a while (and still does to my knowledge) resold DSL and eventually started binding two DSL lines together to increase speeds. They had to pay a hefty amount of their revenue for that customer directly to Ma bell though. For whatever reason, AT&T is not forced to resell their UVerse(VDSL) system. Which maxes out at 24Mbps anyway and thus is already a disappointment for competition. So unfortunately, I'm not seeing any opportunities for disruption with existing infrastructure, at least in the states.

I spent an afternoon one-on-one with Martin Gardner just a couple of months before he passed away. Fantastic man, wonderful to be with, and still sharp as anything at 95.

Deeply missed - I so wish I'd got in touch with him earlier. Like 40 years ago.
Well, if you care about the green house impact of his use of his car, it's pretty good.

Driving a regular car 12k miles will net you about 4.6 tons of CO2.

His 36 gallons of gas, plus his electricity consumption if we assume that he uses about 36 kwh/100 miles and that he lives in New Jersey (as per http://media.gm.com/media/intl/en/chevrolet/news.detail.html...), which does not just burn coal for electricity production, we can expect him to have emanated ~1/3 ton of CO2 with his Chevy Volt over that period.

So a good 15 times better.

Thanks! We're certainly grateful for all of the input and feedback we received while designing this thing (especially from our beta users who came through time and time again, giving us countless security use cases and providing feedback on our prototype implementations).

I will point out though that what you described looks like an ACL system with groups (akin to unix permissions), and we think our Security Rules system is actually quite a bit more powerful than that (you could easily build ACL / groups on top of it, but you can build lots of other models too). :-)

For what it's worth, and as weird as this is going to sound:

You don't in particular want the "security API" of an app framework to get externally validated. For the most part, the "security" components of app frameworks are boring, modulo some really simple- to- answer questions ("how do you store passwords", "how do you handle password resets").

When people talk about "security frameworks", they tend to be thinking about what we used to call "AAA systems" (authentication/"authn", authorization/"authz", and accountability/logging). You don't need to be an appsec practitioner to look at an AAA system and see whether it's any good. Does it apply authn by default? How easy would it be to accidentally expose a method that didn't require a login? Does it apply authz rules by default? How much of a pain would it be to reliably apply authz rules across my project? If stuff is easy and has sane defaults, you'll use them and benefit --- like you do in Rails, if you use association finders off a "current user" instead of the class object finders.

The bad news is, what you want tested in an app framework is everything else. How's it handling database persistence? How does it handle corner cases, like deliberately pathologically huge queries, out-of-range numerics, conversions between multipart and standard encoding, output encoding of HTML, Javascript, and CSS, CSRF validation, file upload, database column access, &c &c. It's the stuff you don't normally think of as "security code" that's most likely to bite you.

At Matasano, we have a "seven deadly features" in web apps that we tend to find the first and worst flaws in web apps in; they're:

1. Password reset

2. Email functionality

3. Interfaces to thick clients; "REST API" &c

4. File upload

5. File download

6. Templating

7. "Advanced search"

Only one of those is a security feature, and it's also a security feature that most "security APIs" don't actually implement (because every app wants to have a different UX for it).

Lest this sound self-interested: most frameworks haven't been formally externally tested. I'd be thrilled if someone had their framework tested formally, but I don't tell people not to use Rails or Django or Spring just because they haven't been pentested by an appsec firm.
It's actually plausible that the scanners - if working as designed - might cause net health benefit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis ).

The tricky thing is that we have no way of knowing if the machines are operating as designed and the powers that be have a looooong history of outright lying to passengers. I still remember when they told people sending your camera through the X-ray wasn't bad for the film - this was a lie, but it made security's job easier to tell that lie, so they told it. Knowing that the TSA is a bunch of incompetent and untrustworthy nitwits, I don't trust them to operate dangerous equipment safely. Since a machine that's not being maintained correctly or isn't being used correctly could be really dangerous, I generally choose to opt out.

How do you define renewable?
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

In the Romans verse, it explains that God has shown His love for everyone. He did it without expectations for something in return. He did it for people who couldn't repay Him. He did it for people that were His enemies. This is by definition unconditional and there isn't a single verse in the Bible that contradicts this.

Matthew 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

The Matthew verse shows that this love must be accepted. Jesus says that He wants to show His love in a close relationship, but the expressions of His love are rejected.

That Matthew verse also points to something that is often overlooked/misunderstood about hell. The worst thing about hell is not fire, darkness, demons, etc. The worst and most significant thing about hell is being separated from God. Heaven is where people have reciprocated God's love and experience complete intimacy with Him. Hell is where people have rejected God and experience complete separation from Him. With that understanding, it shows that it makes no sense to say "God sent someone to hell." Hell is the choice of someone that has rejected God's love. God, not being a rapist, does not force anyone to love Him.

This article exactly describes the startling realization I had last October when I first used Arduino: all of the parts exist to create robots; they just have to be put together.

We have all kinds of sensors which can take information about the world and turn it into voltage pulses.

We have all kinds of motors and servos which can take voltage pulses and move.

We have microcontrollers and microprocessors which can use voltage pulses as digital input, and output digital signals as voltage pulses. Also these are robust enough to count microseconds and run several-thousand-line programs.

With these few parts, we can build numerous input loops. My favorite is having a motor scale output based on the input given from a distance sensor, so an RC car will slow as it approaches a wall. I have done this in ~40 lines of code. I want to see just how much can be done with ~4000 lines of code.

I am currently building a self-driving trash can from an RC car, Arduino, some sensors, and code I've hacked together. I have dreams of building robots that swap HDDs for rackmount servers and also building seeing-eye robots. While many hackers find satisfaction in seeing their code run on servers or be used, I find it much more enjoyable to see my code rolling across the floor.

1) Flickr is owned by Yahoo, not Google.

2) Flickr has been around a lot longer than Instagram, without ever engaging in this kind of privacy abuse. Its age and past behaviour both earn it a certain amount of trust and indicate that it is unlikely to need to turn to privacy abuse for short-term monetization to satisfy investors.

3) Flickr has a plausible monetization strategy built around its heavy entrenchment in the pro community that does not involve privacy abuse.

There's absolutely no reason to believe that a move from Instagram to Flickr isn't a big, big step up in terms of privacy protection.
During the design process, we solicited feedback from several security experts (security firms and ad-hoc hackers alike). It hasn't gone through a formal outside audit at this point though.
