Sorry, there is no reasonable interpretation of the facts of this case under which Swartz did not understand that there were people attempting to block his access to the MIT network and JSTOR.
So are you using XMonad without a DE? How is the experience?

Yes, exactly. It's very lightweight and fast without all the clutter of a DE. I don't really miss anything.

BTW, how do you manage wireless networks and stuff?

I manage wireless/wired networks with netcfg in the background (without an applet for the trayer, haven't had any need for that yet; but that's up to individual preferences).

Yeah, uber engages in "price gouging" on NYE and other high volume days.

It's called surge pricing, and it....... Works. It works really well. It preserves a scarce resource during periods of high demand for the users who get the most value out of it. You're the second person to make this comment. It sounds so petulant, like Gogo has suddenly been subjected to common carrier status.

The service suffering is a sign that they should charge even more next time. But it was certainly better than it otherwise would have been. A lower price point means more users getting a smaller piece of pie. I've been on several flights with free wifi. It's horrible.
Geez! Haven't you learned manners from your parents? Here's how it goes...

In face of all the time and effort you've voluntarily put into this research, I hereby thank you.

Easy. Isn't it?
what else is there?
I don't remember hearing about this "oncall toolkit" before and I'm fairly curious.
No, this is a sign of progress. It seems like it used to be a given that there would be a few crashes for a new type. Look at the De Havilland comet, for instance. Being a test pilot really meant that you might die. It was even worse for military aircraft, 20 of 50 A-12/sr-71 aircraft were destoyed. Now planes fly for a decade before there's a catastrophic failure.
Living in Puerto Rico would kill this man.
Or the maintenance cost could be significantly increased.

I would love something like this: any failed patent suit doubles the maintenance cost for all patents owned by the entity which owns that patent. The effect would be transferable (i.e. if they sold the patent to some other company, that company's costs would double) and it would stack (i.e. failing with the same patent twice, or owning 2 such patents would quadruple your maintenance costs.) The effect would last for some fixed period of time, so if the patent were truly valuable, a company could opt to keep it anyway.

Obviously, that would make any patent involved in a failed lawsuit highly undesirable, so no one would want to buy it. It would also mean that shell companies wouldn't be able to send the patent back to a company dedicated to simply amassing patents.
If you care that much, do something about it. Fire people that show up late. Refuse to patronize businesses that don't work to your schedule. Unfriend friends that show up to dinner at 8:45 instead of 7:58. It's really very simple.

As you sit alone in your apartment admiring your superior sense of right and wrong, you might consider the fact that while clocks can measure and display the time to the second, people can't. And your friends and colleagues are people, not atomic clocks.

Perhaps the unreasonable selfish person is you.
I haven't noticed this as strongly as the author of the article. But there are definitely cultural factors at play.

I'm Dutch and I work a lot in Germany; everyone tends to come in right on time whether it's a physical meeting or a conference call. Either that or they got hit by a bus. That's in general also the way it works in the Netherlands.

With the UK and the USA it's different; not as bad as in the article but they definitely aren't as punctual as the Germans and the Dutch.

Maybe it's because of the lack of wrist watches? I feel like I'm of a dying breed anyway since I still wear one all the time. Especially in the USA everyone just uses their phones for that.
The amount of cooling needed is not constant over time (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_heat), which is one of the reasons passive cooling systems are designed for days rather than weeks.

The first seconds/minutes are the most critical and after 72 hours the residual heat is down to a level which can be much more easily handled.
It appears to be more of a cultural thing, as I've noticed that here in North America times appear to be treated relative, whereas in Europe it was treated like a deadline in most cases.

If you're late, whatever was scheduled to happen that time would most likely be postponed or cancelled by then, unless it was a group meeting.

Plus, I personally find it also insulting, as the person arriving late clearly doesn't consider that the other person(s) put an effort into being on time as well and otherwise could've worked/stayed at home a while longer just the same.
There's also all the defense contracts they lost, plus the time where they lost a defense contract to a foreign company so they got Murray and Cantwell to press for a do-over.
As far as I can work out from the details released so far, this is basically a standard backplane for "blade" (or microserver as they are now known) servers, based on PCIe x8 so it is simple and cheap, which just happens to be more of less what Calxeda was using anyway.

I can't work out yet if there is a standard way of attaching RAM as well I don;t think so (yet).

It has taken an open source project to make blade servers standardised by the look of it, should make the whole ecosystem much cheaper than the proprietary systems.

It is not actually clear if Facebook has committed to ARM, although it would not surprise me if they use some. But they have the option.
I don't see that the whole source is published, exactly like the whole source of Chrome is not being published (Chromium is Chrome minus "the souce", e.g. additional code (for what?), installers etc). I haven't even seen any analysis of all the stuff Google does in the pieces of the code that aren't published. It can be done, somebody should just really want to do that.

Disclaimer: I avoid Chrome browser exactly because I don't have enough information to know if they really "aren't evil." I don't claim there isn't such information somewhere, just that I don't know about it. My worries are exactly because their installers install more like a malware than like clean projects ("no we aren't going to let you to simply download executables, just click here, give us administrative privileges and enjoy when we download what we want and change on your machine what we like").

Anybody who knows more?
Software developer 'Bob' outsources own job to China

I don't understand why tail recursion isn't a bigger deal to people.
Just make a dozen variations, break into groups of three, put each set on it's webpage with a header question "Which sudoko game would you rather play?" Install click tracking via your tool of choice GA/Optimizely/VWO/CrazyEgg/Clicktale. Then head on over to either mechanical turk, usertesting, gorillatesting, or one of the other many services out there. Target your expected demographic and pay for a 5-20 individuals (or whatever volume of people will make you comfortable) to go through each set clicking the one they'd want to play. Take the winner from each set, create a new page with the three winners, select a new group of testers. Take the winner and make it the first one you go with. Then over time you can try switching some in and out of the actual app store. But increase the chances that your first one is your best!

I guess China would be more than happy to exchange US bonds for gold.

I'm always late for everything and I don't see what the fuss is about. FYI I'm a software engineer, in India. In software, there is a concept of a buffer period, which people learn to add to the estimates, because inevitably, things gets delayed. Maybe you need to recognize when to do this with people.

I don't know if you're some big shot CEO or someone for whom a few minutes is a loss in millions. I don't believe in living life being so worried about my time or others time. The only waste of time is doing a job and not hacking on something great. Here's a nice poem for you to sit back, take a deep breath and read.

LEISURE

What is the life, full of care
we have no time to stand and stare.
no time to stand beneath the boughs
and stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
stream full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at beauty's glance,
and watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
we have no time to stand and stare.

One thing to bear in mind is that "late" is fairly culturally dependant. The standard deviation for "on time" is very different in the US, France, Brazil, etc.
I really like the general way of working with SublimeText, but there's one major reason I simply cannot use it for the job: it is terribly slow with large files. One of the things we have to do often is open a >10mb logfile on a cifs share and quickly search through it. It takes ST2 over 10seconds to open the file. The same for each refresh of the file. Even wordpad on Windows loads the file faster, so there seems to be something quite off at the core side of things.
I would write it like this:

def my_method
if @foo == :bar
:foo_matches
else
nil
end
end

but, hell, you wanna see something even cooler?

def my_longer_method
...
variable = if @foo == :bar
:foo_matches
else
nil
end
...
end

I find this much better than ternary operators.
Facebook Increases Importance of Negative Feedback

It's a cultural difference. I'm sure that what happens in general French office culture is totally not acceptable in India. Example: in a lot of French companies each morning co-workers tend to greet each other by shaking hands (when it's male on male) or by giving the females two kisses on the cheek (when it's male on female or two females).

The same holds for how time and appointments are viewed in Germany, the Netherlands etc; different from other places.

Note; I haven't spend much time working in France but I did experienced it first-hand there; the described behavior might just not be as prevalent nowadays as I'm assuming it is though.

Just use Chromium instead. You can audit every single line of code and build it from scratch on your own machine with your own reflections-on-trusting-trust-safe-compiler. Or you can install Debian's version.

What are the tax implications of reassignment? If I reassign a patent to a shell corporation, is it taxed? How would such a patent be valued?

If the transferred assets are taxed, that would introduce at least a modest loss for using a shell. Also, I would think that the valuation for tax purposes should be something like the value to be claimed in court, at least if the transfer occurs soon before a round of trolling. I can imagine a troll reassigning a patent to a shell, low-balling the value for tax purposes, and then inflating it when wielding the patent in court. In such cases the IRS and/or the court might be interested in the discrepancy.
Well, this is interesting because I've got another bit of research/info that ties in with what you have said and also the OP's post.

According to research done by Carol Dweck, there are two types of mindset when approaching a challenge, much like learning new, tougher-to-grasp things. You either lookst it from a fixed "be good" mindset or a growth "get better" mindset.

With a be-good mindset, you will be less persistent because failing means you're not so good.

With a get-better mindset, failing won't matter as much, if not at all. This is because, in your minds eye, you're focused on improvement, so even if you fail you feel you will learn something (99 ways to not make a lightbulb).

With a get-better mindset, fear of rejection and failure are extinguished.

It also ties in with what the OP is doing because he is focused on learning when building and shipping products. If his sole intention was to ship and not actually learn anything from it but rather as a demo of his skills, would he ship as much?

Well, in a sense, I can buy a RaspberryPi with the money of 2-3 months of linode (depending on the accessories you want)

But the "hard part" is not having the HW, but keeping it online 24/7. Geez, I don't even have DSL at home (long story)

With linode and others I can reinstall at the click of a button, I get a dedicated IP, etc

It may be easy depending on your situation, still, VPSs seems to have more advantages.

This varies by culture. From where I'm from, it's arriving at 7:30 that is considered rude, with 20-30 minutes being late being optimal and 1 hour is being more or less acceptable, but kinda pushing it.
The description page loads fine for me in Iceweasel 10.0.0.2 on Debian unstable. (Iceweasel is Debian's fork of Firefox.)

no one's claiming a general disarmament of the nation

People (not you) make that claim all the damn time, and I find it hard to believe you're not aware of this. Opponents of gun control are very fond of drawing a causal link between gun control and genocide and then hedging on the technicalities when challenged on this. I'm really tired of it. If you want to me to argue in good faith, provide support for your positive propositions from the get go. Support your claim that over 100m were disarmed prior to being subjected to genocide. I call bullshit on it.
Mobile phones can help: If you always know exactly where the other person is (not when the claim they'll get to the meeting), you can time your travel to match theirs. We really need an smartphone app for that, leveraging GPS.
Is it really getting _worse_? People have always been late.

And the post mixes business with pleasure: A staff meeting and a party are quite different things.
It is expressly not (supposed to be) political, but how you interpret that is up to you. See: Monica Goodling, Tim Griffin, et al. As far as aspirants to elected office goes, Giuliani is a rarity among federal prosecutors more than he's an exemplar, most are lawyerly lifers. It's like saying kernel hackers are secretly pining to become marketing executives.
I don't know if this is the case for this particular extension. However, for most Chrome extensions, they can only use those shortcuts if they are opened in a separate window. You can select this option by right clicking on the app in the new tab page. I know that Chrome Remote Desktop can only use Ctrl-W in a separate window, but it works fine once it is in a separate window.
"Refuse to patronize businesses that don't work to your schedule."

I don't think this is a valid point. When you arrange an appointment, meeting or lunch with another party/parties/business for a specific time and duration then surely that's no longer "your schedule" but rather "our schedule" and it is the responsibility of both parties to honor that schedule, it's just polite.

I may be reading your comment wrong but I find the tone to be a little uncalled for, sneering almost. Do you really think a person wanting people around him to be timely means they have a "superior sense or right and wrong"?

And if so why? Genuinely interested.

If a business doesn't follow their posted hours, I stop going there. And if I'm meeting someone for dinner at 8 and they don't show up until 8:45, I'm probably gone by then. Really, you just wait around for three quarters of an hour?
The other effect is that people's work grows more specialized as the company grows bigger, and so each individual invention becomes more niche and less likely to be relevant to other people. PageRank is one patent, because at the time, Google was just Larry and Sergey (and owned by Stanford). That one component of the system might (hypothetically) have a team of 10 maintaining it now, and their work might (hypothetically) involve looking at obscure ways to weight links differently or block people gaming the system. Such patents wouldn't be useful unless you had a working PageRank system already.
Yeah I can be, and that's one of my flaws. I'm only human, but I hope my good qualities outweigh my bad enough for the writer of this article to remain my dear and valued friend.
I don't think he's really talking about all businesses--only those who claim to need a "mobile strategy."
Ask HN: Survey Monkey and Mobile Ads?
I am researching about Mobile ads and Ad networks, and different type of content in Mobile Ads.

Do any one know any Survey Form generators are in Mobile Advertising ?

A great proposition would be Mobile Ads and Survey Monkey. Lets a large organization wanted to have demographic study of consumers with Survey or Polls. Then they can embed such form in Mobile Ads and this way we can have beneficial data to Survey Creator.

Such Mobile ads are also more rewarding, so Developers or Ad Networks can get more eCPM / Pay per Form revenue.

I think there must be some services like that, may be I am unaware of their existence.

The troubling attitude in TR advocacy is the claims of inherent safety.

A sustainable energy-positive reaction can't be inherently safe. You can argue if it has better failure modes than the alternatives but it's harmful to ignore a multitude of factors which could be not yet considered.

The previous catastrophic failures with other reactor designs were also not exactly forethought. For instance, xenon poisoning was little studied in the beginning of nuclear era. It is not implausible some critical piece of knowledge is missing in the current evaluation of "safe" designs.

Another thing is too much reliance on the neat presentations. E.g. this blog refers to a freeze plug as a kind of panacea of any mismanagement. What if freeze plug fails for whatever reason? Like, tectonic activity breaks the pipework, or it's sabotaged, or groundwater leaks into the dump tanks?
tl;dr: rant about people who are ok to be late all the time.

> I'm amazed ... by author's apparent believe that contacting the support several times via twitter and not getting a response morally justifies sharing his recipe with out people and wishing them "Happy “free” surfing, for now anyway".

The article alludes to further conversation via the image containing the Gogo employee's email. I established contact with Gogo via email and made my intentions clear about my desire to post such an article. After receiving an initial reply that another Gogo employee would contact me, I heard nothing from them after a number of days -- note the eight days between initial twitter contact and article posting.

The primary purpose of the article was not to provide a formula for free Internet (that was just the "cover" to the article), but rather to detail how allowing access to any one Google service can result in access to the entire Internet. In retrospect, I admit the comment at the end of the article is not consistent with the point I attempted to convey.
Agreed - the PHP world seems really short of such tools, which either means a) they're there and I've missed them, b) no one in PHP-land is interested in writing them, or c) Integrating w PHP's core is much harder than other languages.

For example, NewRelic's PHP support is still not on a par with their Rails support...
Remote desktop client in Google Chrome
A hacker or an entrepreneur is someone who breaks rules to create something.

That definition really begs the question [1]. A simple counter-example: Google didn't break any rules when it launched a search engine built on pagerank rather than conventional indexing. They broke convention.

Talk about 'breaking the rules' sounds great at motivational seminars or in marketing speak, but metaphors don't make for credible legal or policy arguments. We give up a degree of individual autonomy in such matters and do things by consensus instead because historically this has proved preferable to resolving disagreements by force - as the Declaration of independence has it, people institute governments to secure their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as opposed to Hobbes' vision of anarchy as 'a war of all against all.'
