I think one of the main reasons is that they, AQ, are 'outlaws' they operate outside the laws of places they operate from and most of their operational bases are in places which are too weak to locally deal with AQ in a more traditional method. So because they are outside the law construct (of extradition, reach of local enforcement, local complicity, etc.), they, almost by necessity require this approach -which some people question and some approve of.

It's an an answer to the question, how does one deal with an entity which does not subject itself to a set of groundrules one expects/operates in. In this case, you meet them half way (in vernacular terms, that's a good deal) for the offender (since their, AQ's, whole existence is predicated on vanquishing Kafirs).

The alternatives are you meet them in their terms adopting their groundrules for dealing with you (this is a strong position to work from), another is you deal with them as you deal with other entities with whom you have structured relationships (this is a weak position to work from) since they would not likely reciprocate.

A tax evader, you attempt to extradite, if you have agreements, if not, you try to get them when they make a mistake (fly into a place with a treaty). But when a nation is concerned with national security, there is less pussyfooting and more serious action, where possible. (i.e if AQ were based in China, the approach would require some rethinking or at least some negotiation with the host country.)

No, we quite reputably bought about 1/4 of it from France. They acquired it from the Spanish, who conquered it from the original owners in a quite disreputable way. But while we trafficked in stolen goods, we did so quite above board :)

You are shameless.
In chess, you would call this a two-pronged attack (And you are forked either way). Not many people know this, but you pay 30% more for domain renewals if they are set to auto-renew.

1) First of all you charge people 30% more for auto-renew. See a discussion here:

http://chrisacky.com/images/godaddy_bull.png

2) Now, with the customers feeling outraged that they are being charged more, they cancel the auto-renew, and they get to put on an even larger charge.

It is a horrendous dark-pattern that first of all exploits a customers continued goodwill by keeping up auto-renew, and then secondly, from trying to save money, GoDaddy exploit users who are trying to make their money stretch just a little futher.

Saddam was US BACKED ! like Castillo , Pinochet , Palavi and countless others , armed and supported for YEARS by USA ! there is even a footage with Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam.

And you wonder why people hate you all over the arab world ? your only strenght is fear, you definetly lost the cultural battle there.

The war in Iraq killed far more iraqis than Saddam ever did, and i'm not even talking about the 1 millions children that died during the oil for food program.

And yes ,they still call you the "great Satan" there. Ironic isnt it ?

So I just finished writing a comment about this here [1] that is highly relevant (moreso than the rest of this comment).

But I completely disagree with you. People use the term "democracy" constantly, so figuring out what it means (and what they mean by it) matters. So just ignoring it, as you suggest, is not a viable option at all.

From reading [1], you will pick up that I think we should define these terms by their essence, not (say) how closely some specific historical cases did or did not approach the ideal.

Moreover, it's been intellectually important for progressives to insist that the US is a democracy since the progressive movement began (1900s or thereabout), because democracy is necessary to implement their ideas. I'm not saying it was a grand conspiracy. Democracy is a core part of progressivism.

> It's a valid question.

Not really. Releasing secrets to the media counts as giving it to the enemy. Wikileaks was just a middleman, sort of like a hit man or a bag-man -- one can still hold the originator responsible.

I'm not taking a position on this case, only the logic you're using.

When Geraldo Rivera was in Iraq, attached to a combat unit, he went on the air and revealed his unit's future plans and location in far too specific terms. He was immediately expelled from the country on the same grounds -- giving information to the enemy -- even though he just broadcast the information, without any specific recipient in mind. Just like Manning.

When did that happen? There is a JSON standard, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt, but I have yet to find a parser that follows it, including Crockford's original "reference implementation". As a result, there's no point in developing a conformant parser, as no one would use it. They're off chasing date formats, capitalized keywords, functions (!!) blissfully unaware or willfully heedless of the impact on interoperability.
Yeah, that's how I take it. I don't ingest any substances that would cause any problems on a drug test, but it's a huge red flag for me that the company most likely 1) is run by bureaucrats; and 2) wants to control my private life. More viscerally, I just find the whole "report to a facility and urinate on command" thing unpleasant and weird and will prefer companies that don't subject me to such indignities. And some companies demand it several times per year!
well the point you are missing is , it takes place outside a war context. AlQaida is not the army of afghanistan , in fact most of its members are saudis , egyptians or from yemen. So the Geneva convention "doesnt apply" , that's the why of the enemy combattant status and all that illegal crap made legal.
> Just because we have nuclear weapons does not mean we should have to use them in negotiations.

This contradicts a bedrock diplomatic principle: one must pay attention, not to your opponent's stated intentions, but to his capabilities. Therefore if your opponent has nuclear weapons, it doesn't matter what he says he's going to do, it only matters what he is capable of with everything at his disposal.

Therefore, in negotiations, the existence of nuclear weapons becomes the elephant in the room, regardless of what's actually being discussed.

> Isn't that akin to saying "We have power. You don't. Do what we want." This is not how government should be run.

But that is how governments are run. One must pay attention to reality as well as ideals. Remember that politics is the art of the possible.

The tweet was 15 persons on standby, a strategy that assembled such a team much earlier, and possibly a lot of money for so called social media experts even earlier.

So you call this tweet free? No, if you ever bought an cookie from them in the last (lets say) three years, you payed for that tweet.

sorry, don't wanna sound rude, but knowing the cost (in terms of consultants, human resources, et al) of advertising, marketing and the like, free seems to be such a wrong term to me.
Your article is poorly constructed. It is called "Android is the new Windows CE". It's a very catchy and intriguing title. But it's a scam.

You start by stating your conclusion: "while iPhone and Windows Phone are revolutionary smart phones, Android is the closest thing I ever seen to an evolution of Windows CE."

However, your have only one argument in the whole article defending your conclusion. The only point of comparison with windows CE that you develop is that they "supposedly" share a desktop as a common feature. Wow! I should have stopped reading there.

Then you proceed with various complain about the system

1/ The UI design is poor, that it lacks consistency. Sure that can be a fair point. It's also a matter of taste, but I agree that iOS and Windows are an order of magnitude more consistent. However, what has this to do with Windows CE ?

2/ Google is over-emphasized on Android. Sorry? You are an iPhone user, and you complain about the fact that the company behind Android is too present on it. I would say Android, is much more detached from Google, than iOs devices from Apple or windows from Microsoft. And you are contradicting yourself at the end of your article, by stating that Android is successful because it is customizable. And I would add, that Google has a strong presence in search, maps and emails... So many non-Android users would anyway install Google Apps on their devices.

3/ You could not find the app store easily. Why because it is not called "App Store"? Would someone new to iOS intuitively go to Safari, a compass, as a web browser? If I wanted to read this kind of non-sense, I would read my Grandma's blog. Not someone from the tech industry.

4/ And then random rants. Pin number, News & Weather, Photo Album is called "Gallery" (omg) ... are you serious? And what is has to do with CE?
Are you implying that no revenue is a valid business model?
GoDaddy employee here. I don't work on the shopping cart, but I can say that we're under "new management" (new CEO started in January) and there's currently a huge push to completely revamp the GoDaddy homepage as well as the shopping cart and other pages.

Management is under no illusions that the old/current system is far too convoluted so the company is pushing through some pretty dramatic changes.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of code to change so the changes are going to take some time to get deployed to customers.

As far as this particular incident, I can also confirm that if you have auto-renewal turned off, when the domain expires there's a cost to GoDaddy to get that domain back.

I was on a support call during orientation when someone had something similar happen. Their CC had expired so the domain didn't auto-renew and someone else purchased the domain after the grace-period. The only thing that customer service could do was offer (a paid) service to try to put them in contact with the new domain owner (also used GoDaddy to purchase it) and assist in transferring the domain back.

If you want, feel free to email me exactly what steps caused the problem and I'll forward that on to QA for that group to try to reproduce and perhaps resolve the issue.

GoDaddy's dashboard might be bloated which can be confusing but I doubt they deliberately delete domains after removing the credit card info from your account

The bulk of GoDaddy revenue comes from renewals and it's cheaper and easier to keep a customer as opposed to acquiring a new one.

It's much more likely that there's a bug in the code or some other non-malicious technical problem that's involved here.

Twitter is valued at 9 billion dollars, and generates 400 millions revenues per year (planned for 2013).

To get an idea of their potential profits :

http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-twitters-2012-oper...
"Annualized, that operating profit could be as much as $116 million this year. (Assuming the numbers are true, of course.)"

It means that return on investment would be, if they were in a situation where they would return everything to shareholders, of 1.2%. That's very weak for a company valued at multi-billions, and it is not clear how they can generate much more profits in the upcoming years.

That's what I am talking about.

And Twitter is one of the better ones, by the way.
Your design also has some similarities with the Mercurial Wordpress theme does it not? I'm not sure which one came before, so I can't comment on who imitated who.

Good point! I'm in the midwest, and we have a few Aldi stores here too. There's definitely a distinction between opting out of packaged food (making things from scratch, eating more fruits/vegetables, ..) and opting out of the marketing-driven frenzy of brand name food. The latter can definitely save you money.
> Are you implying that no revenue is a valid business model?

Did you read my post? I said the opposite.
These are excellent questions, all of which need to be clarified sooner or later. While I'm still digesting this white paper and need to do a much more reading of the sources it quotes as well as study of the underlying issues, here's my gut feeling about what those answers will turn out to be (any or all of which might be completely wrong):-

1. I'd guess it included political appointees, such as the director of the CIA or head of the NSA.

2. This is the crucial question. The memo appears to think it requires means and motive but that the US is not obligated to wait for an opportunity before acting. Suppose, for example, that AQ had a plan to repeat 9-11 (to save my defining some new scenario). If you knew that such an operation was planned and that an individual agent of AQ had the authority to order it to commence, it would be legitimate to attack that individual even if you didn't know the precise timing and vectors of the attack. To me this is analogous to attacking an opposing general who's responsible for directing military operations against you even if he has never personally shot at you and his fighting consists of directing others' activity.

3. I'd say an 'associated force' was one that had explicitly declared itself to be affiliated with Al Qaeda or to have a common enemy (eg the US) with that organization. So while Hamas, say, is considered a terrorist organization by the US, I don't think it would be associated with AQ since its activities are confined to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict rather than being part of a global struggle. I think the word 'force' is important too, so that we're responding to the threat of actual injury rather than targeting people who just make nasty remarks about us.

4. I think this is a bit of a red herring, since there's no evidence that we were targeting that individual [the 16-yo son of Anwar Al-aulaqi/Awlaki). Unofficially, the target of that strike was one Ibrahim al-Banna (who I personally know nothing about but who I'm going to assume was a legitimate target) and Abdulrahman had the ill fortune to be in his company at the time he was attacked. While I think it's important to minimize 'collateral damage' and civilian casualties (and think drone warfare actually represents an advance in this regard), I don't feel that the incidental possibility (however improbable or unpredictable) of injuring a US citizen should serve as an effective shield for Al Qaeda's executive, such that senior AQ people effectively get issued with personal hostages to prevent them from being targeted. As Justice Jackson observed, 'the Constitution is not a suicide pact.'

I wholly agree that we can't abdicate all responsibility to the executive (ethically comforting though this might be), but nor should we abandon our legitimate interest in self-preservation to procedural paralysis. Thus, for example, the constitution contemplates not only declarations of war, but the issuance of letters of marque and reprisal without limitation in scope.
I've used both Ember and Angular (for former more than the latter) and I can say that I agree with your assessment. When I read the article I immediately recognized a bunch of problems.

For example, I find Angular much harder to get started with and understand than Ember. The documentation is more contrived (they give small examples but don't explain why it's done that way or how to expand on the example).

Angular's $resource object is nice as Ember lacks a built-in REST adapter. While Ember-data is still baking, is there any recommended alternative to use for basic REST calls? We're using jQuery right now with Ember.
The article could have computed the numbers on various charts that others have published that do have the scale visible, to illustrate how well this works.
The vim editor is awesome, but all this 'bolt on a bunch of stuff to make vim more like an IDE' is misguided imo. If you use Java, use eclim for a vim-like experience in Eclipse; if you use Visual Studio, use viemu.

(that said, I still wrote a vim plugin to display the php manual function declaration in the status bar when you have your cursor nead the name of a vim function... but just because there is no 'real' IDE for php though)
You're limiting the definition of democracy to 100% pure direct democracy i.e. literal mob rule. I struggle to imagine what such a government would even look like (on a large scale, at least).

I tend to think of a republic as opposed to a principality (it's right there in the name, even!). That is, the machine of government is thought to be held publicly rather than privately, in a republic. Suffrage has nothing to do with it, although democracy is a common implementation of a republic. (Other examples might be a military government, a religious oligarchy, or a corporate oligarchy). It is a rather broad term.

Constraining what the citizens are allowed to do, or how they are allowed to do it, via fair voting representation in their government (that is to say, limiting the powers of their duly-elected government by a constitution) does not to my mind diminish the fact that it is a democracy. Nor does it diminish if they elect representatives rather than participating in endless referendums.

My thinking on this seems clear and objective enough to me.

I won't argue that it cost them precisely $0. But the marginal cost of this tweet was pretty close to free.

Let's be realistic -- there's no way they had 15 FTEs fully dedicated to social media. Instead, it's 15 people from Customer Service, and/or Marketing, who are already employed at the company. When the company spends $4mm on an ad, it likely turns into a Super Bowl party at the office, with free pizza and beer in the biggest conference room in the building. The 15 get a bit of training and access to Hootsuite, which is what @Oreo is using, and asked to stand by with their notebooks if things got crazy.

At a previous job, when we had a big marketing event like this, it was all hands on deck, and everyone, no matter what your normal job function, was to answer phones. Our 40-person Customer Service team was actually 2 Customer Service people, augmented by the CEO, all VPs, marketers, sales, etc.
