I still use CS2 for all my web design work. I installed the demo of CS6 and looked at what had been improved in my normal workflow and it turned out it hadn't really changed since CS2.

While the world thinks its obsolete, it really isn't.

Frustrating however as I now can't reinstall After Effects CS2 as they haven't resolved the termination of the activation servers for that.
Isn't being public the point of public keys?

This is only an issue if 1) Users are relying on github as a trusted source of public keys, and 2) malicious users can modify the public keys.
Latency for pro audio apps should be around 10ms. No Android phone gets close to this but all iOS devices do. You can use the free Caustic app on Android to measure your exact audio latency and then you will understand why none of the pro audio app makers bother with Android despite the large install base.

I think the real point is to know which details to focus on, and getting distracted by the less useful examples here makes that case pretty strongly.

You have to admit, It's quite clever really.

Because they won't. I'm commenting from the perspective of a blind user--I know of what I speak. Note that I explicitly said you would have to architect for it, which you reiterated in your point. Doesn't it make far more sense to make the underlying tooling accessible rather than ghettoizing the content?
My main point here is, if there's extra work to be done to make content accessible, that work simply won't be done. Hell, I wouldn't do it either -- a whole extra site template's worth for what? 1% of users? and I am totally blind.
I think AI has achieved quite a lot. Consider Google and Amazon, much less Watson. AI is like "magic". Whenever we figure out how to do something, it's no longer AI. It's statistical learning or computer vision. However, the problem of general AI turned out to be a lot harder than we thought it would be. Moravec's Paradox deserves mention here.

Hardware and software will interact more in the 2010s to '30s. What will people design all this awesome hardware with? Software. Taking the other direction, I do agree that the hardware world is becoming more interesting to people who might, a generation ago, have thought of themselves as "pure software" people. In 1985, you could "do AI" and never go outside of a garbage-collected language (Lisp). In 2013, it's hard to do high-performance machine learning without having some knowledge of all the neat things people can do with hardware (e.g. GPU programming). Also, the existence of continuing education options like Coursera is making people more Y-shaped than T- or I-shaped.

I agree with you that a lot of the "hot" work in the social media world (learning a bunch of damn APIs) isn't very hard, deep, or interesting. However, don't rule out software entirely.
There is nothing ambiguous about wanting low taxes, or deregulation, or privatization.
tl;dr: Thieves and crackheads are using Tide bottles as currency, because those are getting bought by some stores under their market value in order to turn a bigger profit.
When Infinite Scroll Doesn't Work
Message Delivery Guarantees
HN is one of several traffic sources we are using to build an audience for Referly. The company is evolving really quickly to be much more than a tool for small-time affiliates. It's becoming a blogging platform/magazine/paid content site - and in a lot of cases there is no monetization of any kind in the article. HN readers are smart, give thoughtful product feedback and have even offered technical help when we've had issues. I try to find or make content that I think will be broadly valuable to the community here - I've been here a long time and think I have a general feel for what people like to read. Check out my submissions to get a sense of the kind of stuff I write about: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=dmor

I try to stay around 50/50 on submitting my own original content and submitting other people's content. There are also plenty of things I submit that don't make the front page, or even get any votes, and that's fine. My feeling is that if you start clicking through Referly links regularly and finding interesting content on the other side, then we are winning. I'm still figuring out exactly what that is - breaking some design paradigms in blogging to create something new is sort of painful right now (like the ugly headers on that dark background of my article) but worth it.

Let me think about this a bit more, it might be interesting to write a longer blog post about content strategy (we also use StumbleUpon, Quora, Digg, etc...) to grow audience, if you'd be interested in reading that.

I'm beginning to see a pattern here. No matter, where I post my posts/comments, there will be 1 or more, who will include few "loaded" words to their comments and thus it will render the whole discussion as almost useless. Single words can be ultimate weapons, even when partial, if they are crafted to be irritating enough. Sadly, this seems to be the only game certain kind of people are willing to learn to play (playing with simple semantic meanings and guessing next moves of others). It is a very lame game, but does it matter to them, if it is said to them? Ofcourse not. Usually it is more subtle.

You probably have an answer ready, so go head. Say what you had already planned to say (read: say what your friends in your social circles planned that you should say).

Former bank teller here --

I've seen it happen where a couple would be sitting down together working out some account fraud with one of the branch managers and some dubious charges would come up. In my four years working there, saw probably 3-4 couples storm out in anger related to something the other found on the account related to pornography
They would be buzzwords if I were actually inclined toward the GOP, but I'm not at all.
This drives me nuts. On the surface there is very little difference between `just functional' and `production ready'. And it's a hard sell if the client is not aware of the benefits.

What I cannot really understand is why would you go there to make new releases of hardware when everyone is doing exactly the same bombastic releases. It becomes almost like a cook fight, and ultimately it dilutes your news.

I think what Apple (and also now Google, Facebook..) does by having their own event, it's a much better approach. Of course this is something you can only do with size.
In case you were curious, from Wikipedia[1]:

> Each label may contain up to 63 characters. The full domain name may not exceed a total length of 253 characters in its external dotted-label specification.

In this context "label" means a segment of the name, so in "www.example.com." "www", "example", and "com" are all labels.

The next sentence:

> In practice, some domain registries may have shorter limits.

alludes to your problem somewhat ;)

It should mean that the government does less and taxes less, but in practice people have different things in mind which the government shouldn't do. For example, Reaganite Republicans who like the phrase usually favor high defense spending and many who otherwise like 'small government' want the government to be more intrusive with respect to things like abortion and drugs. So it is true that in reality people use this phrase in a very unprincipled way.

Sounds like someone at Adobe is having a very bad day.
I have to believe that Adobe did this on purpose, at least from a marketing standpoint. If they indeed didn't want blogs releasing this as "free" all of these major publications (LIKE FORBES) would not be using that word in the headline.

I think the PR team at Adobe labeled this as free or, at the very least, pitched at reporters that way, and I frankly don't think this is a problem or that they're upset about it.
So, CS2 is free but it is actually not free? Interesting that they would make CS2 free as it is only compatible with PowerPC based Macs.

Should have just made CS4 free and had more people jump onto the upgrade bandwagon!

I'm not sure what you mean. Pushing code to a repo requires your private key.
I don't see any evidence on the web or in that airy press release other than its headline to support that they have 2,100 real world businesses accepting payments.

Does anyone have the list? I'm not trying to be negative it's just that I would like to have some basis in fact before I inadvertently spread someone else's mistake in my advocacy!
what a joker, we used to call that the internet, then it was called appstore, and now its... i'm not buying it anymore anyone can code for free these days has he ever heard of linux ?
I think you might be underestimating the level of pay for developers in a lot of the "big" areas. (SF, Silicon Valley, NYC) I've personally heard of friends (fresh college grads) getting offers anywhere from $70k to $150k.
I never advocate changing titles, but this one is in need of work. It took me a bit to realize what was going on.

Also, this seems like a non-issue. As I understand it, they've built a version that doesn't require activation and takes a special serial number, so they can phase out the CS2 activation servers. Some blogger (shocker, at Gizmodo) being fast and loose with the facts, well, got that wrong. Other blogs copied that mistake (a real problem in the "blogosphere"), Adobe took down the page that was linked, Monday rolls on. We're talking about software that won't even run on an Intel Mac here, people.

The rest of this story is, "hey, check out the beating Adobe is taking on their forum!" Thanks, blogs. You win again.
This is an interesting issue... is AirBnB legally obligated to police the rentals? Or are they considered more of an intermediary?

Your analogy to driving is an interesting one... is AirBnB the car rental company or the driver? For instance, if I drive drunk in a rental car, it's my fault, not hertz's.

There is a big difference, of course - Hertz really can't control what I do in the car (and they do spell out some restrictions on what I can do with it), whereas AirBnB has geographic location that might be more useful in determining whether a short term rental is allowed in an area. But even then, there may be different regulations on different types of housing units, leases that might have different restrictions, and so forth. It's hard to see how this wouldn't involve a requirement that the user "comply with all local laws and regulations".
Anybody can have a blog on Forbes, and it's not Forbes the editorial team publishing them. It's sad that Forbes hinged its brand on the occasional piles of malarky that are published on those blogs, especially since you're using the "It's Forbes!" argument here. Most "Forbes" blogs are around the quality level of Business Insider (read as: pollution).

And yet a lot of the super-wealthy Hollywood establishment has the same kind of interest in low taxes and deregulation as many GOP voters. Rupert Murdoch has a huge stake in media companies and his conservatism is by no means exceptional. Sure, Matt Damon and George Clooney are outspoken liberals - but there are a ton of actors who aren't, and actors aren't the most important people in Hollywood.
I used to run a software developer job board startup for several years and I came the the conclusion that what the market needs is a better way of reaching passive job seekers.

While I think this approach is along the right lines, the big problem is that it's incredibly hard to get passive job seekers to sign-up, so mostly you'll get active job seekers signing up and then you'll essentially just be another curated job board / CV database.

I think your key to success will be if you can figure out someway of getting lots of passive job seekers to signup.

Personally if I was doing it I'd go the route of making hyper-targetted mailing lists. So like a reverse groupon catering to specific niches. So have one for developer evangelists, one for flash games developers, etc. with the idea being that the niches are specific enough that people want to be on the list not because they're job hunting but because they want to keep their finger on the pulse of their niche.

(feel free to email me if you want to talk more about the developer recruitment space; I've spent a lot of time thinking about it!)

Yes, but for the current clients (and proxies) in the wild, and under the specific circumstances in question, REST is is a broken architectural style. Fundamentally, the purpose of a RESTful API is to have a standard organization of operations so that REST-familiar users automatically understand the general flow of the interface. The matter of specifying the CRUD operation via HTTP methods or via a separate parameter is an implementation detail.

Is anyone seriously going to trip on your interface if you say something like "This API is essentially RESTful, but everything goes through POST and the CRUD operation is specified by the "op" POST parameter"?

Yes, you can get away with using it without paying for it, but that doesn't make it free or legal.
The thing that somewhat threw me for a loop was the sudden transition from links to articles to links to landing pages of some big Seattle startups.

Oh, so they have a special copy of CS2 with a key that will allow it to work since Adobe's activation servers are down. That having been said, it is intended for users that already hold a CS2 license.
Maybe it's the marketer in me, but I haven't felt like Referly has been pushed too hard on HN. However, in this one particular case the title of the post led me to believe I was going directly to a blog post when I ended up with a number of options to view on Referly. I didn't like that and was a little confused, but I don't think I'm being trained in any way (at least consciously) to not click on Referly links.
Because it is ubiquitous, there is constant demand for it, a consistently high retail price, and there are plenty of retailers willing to fence it in large quantities.
I think some variant Hanlon's razor is much more likely.
Heh, that's not what the shinobi were or their primary role. The military stuff were their day jobs, so to speak. The art and what it does is much weirder than that. The Iga lineages were said to specialize in the small team tactics, whereas the Koga lineages were much more interesting.

There are pretty good historical evidence showing legit bushi (legit, as in being backed by the ruling power) who went undercover on covert ops. They may or may not have had anything to do with the Iga or Koga folks at that time. One of them ended up carrying (or founding) a famous sword school.

To be fair, there are spec ops folk who train with lineages in the US. Does that make them ninjas? I suppose so.
Has anyone had experience with newer versions of Chrome Vox (http://www.chromevox.com/)? Would that improve the experience over the other screen readers for web browsing?
It sounds to me like they decided to decommission the activation server, then provided these binaries to somebody who called tech support because they couldn't validate their install, and the links to these binaries became public on accident. It sounds much more like some kind of internal screw up than some kind of policy decision--which is unfortunate, since many people have pointed out there are good business reasons to do this or something like it.
Adobe is Not Giving Away CS2
Seems an honest mistake, although it would be brilliant marketing to release CS2 for free or very cheap because people (companies) who pay $1000+ for Adobe CS would not still be stuck on CS2...
That makes a disturbing amount of sense. What would the need to ninja be in modern times though?
TL;DR

Blogs - "You can grab yourself a free, legitimate copy of Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite 2, right now, direct from Adobe. No catch."[1][2][3]

Fresh college grads getting $150k? I find that incredibly hard to believe.
Candidly, it's not just "in the blogosphere" - it's a staple for media in general, to the point where one could forgo labeling it a problem, and just call it an aspect.

Other than that, agree with your post.
Yes, it's very clear on the forum that you need to already own a license to use this. There's just nothing in place to stop you from using it if you don't.
Qualcomm unveils Java-friendly 'Internet of everything' development platform
I agree, but the entire premise of the blogosphere makes it worse. Ethically gray publishers like Gizmodo make it even worse still. Traditional journalists would be smart enough to check with Adobe for confirmation before telling the world what Adobe is doing.

(Quit making me type "blogosphere". I'm going to develop a rash.)
U.S. proposes minimum sound levels for 'quiet cars'
Nokia: "Today we are with Microsoft, but anything is possible"
I think the phrase "Japan's ninjas" in the headline makes it sufficiently clear who the subject of the article is, and found it a pretty interesting historical look at a group. The clan and passed-down-knowledge stuff is rather different than most of the special ops stuff training I'm aware of.
I agree, thats why we built this more around someone's expectations and goals and less about their history (though that is important too). That way we can be more focused on high quality discovery, lowering the barrier to "keeping your finger on the pulse of the market in your expertise".
So, Adobe is providing copies of CS2 that are activation free and are providing the serial numbers with the download? So it's basically an honesty system not to pirate it?
>So, CS2 is free but it is actually not free

Sounds like it isn't free and was never free. What they did was provide download links for CS2 products with corresponding license keys. The catch was that only those who previously purchased this product could legally use it. It's a kinda of honor system.
So "SEO" has four different checkboxes but "Security" has just one: "Implement best practices"

Uh...I think that can be broken down to at least two different things...

What's the legality of this? Would it be illegal for me to download proprietary software from the owner's domain if the owner didn't mean to make available for free?

If a movie studio broadcast a brand-new movie over the air for free by mistake, would it be illegal for me to record it? Would I have to delete it? I'm pretty sure I couldn't put it up on a server for free download, otherwise I could do that with NFL games right now.

Does the fact that they require a license key (or make you click a box saying "I own a license") change this from legal to illegal?
I don't know why you use such a sneering tone.

That's fine as an ideal, but can you give a non-aesthetic reason that it would actually matter? I can understand that for some APIs, it's cool that a human can read and edit the GET requests by hand and debug that way, but if we're talking about requests that pass around more than fifty UUIDs at a go, I don't think that's going to be a helpful approach anyway, and I'm really wondering if it isn't pushing the limits of a RESTful API to begin with.
