I have to admit that I sort of struggled to understand what Facebook were trying to communicate to me when that message popped up on my account.

Maybe if you worked with the Facebook login system / followed their API frequently it would have made sense. For someone who once integrated Facebook logins into their site it felt a little bit cryptic.

A Gallup poll claims 7% of people in developing economies have credit cards and 50% in high income countries http://www.gallup.com/poll/154340/credit-cards-formal-loans-...

According to creditcards.com (I can't tell how legit they are) 70% of US adults do have a credit card.

There is a sizeable market of non-credit card holders. And yes, it also lets parents buy virtual currency for their kids too.
How do you know that it doesn't happen to men with the same frequency or degree of severity? The internet is littered with reports of/by men being stalked, harassed and slandered.
Speaking personally only, I've had a change in perspective about the desirability of an all in one device. For along time I thought it would be cool if you could have a phone as your cpu, and dock it up to the form factor that appropriate for your context: tablet, notebook, desktop. As a pie in the sky vision.

The surface pro, an actually here device seemed promising to me as a concept. In particular, the ability to do some work in a different physical position, (on the can, at the coffee shop, etc).

The surface pro seems enticing at first glance as I could run my main working software (pro tools). It's dawning on me now lately though that I need a very optimized, particular environment to work with any semblance of efficiency. Powerful desktop, big monitor, custom set of input and pointing tools, the particular set of utilities installed and running, plus speakers, comfortable chair. And I need every thing in just the right spot. I need my desktop setup just so, I rely on Mac os x spaces. I have custom keyboard macros. When all this is just so, I can rock it, my efficiency goes way up.

It's just not worth it try to do actual work at the coffee shop, because even if I can the experience is so sub optimal,I'd rather just skim the internet on my nexus 7, and wait till I'm at my studio to work.

Buying a device that compromises both experiences, the long battery life, light to hold tablet, and the serious workstation is not an improvement. A nexus 7 is so cheap and light. I have a hand me down Mac book that does laptop stuff just fine if I really need to work portably. And my work station stays put, ready for heavy lifting.

What is the advantage of a hybrid device if any of the use cases are worse than the stand-alones, if those use cases matter to you.

The surface is a worse experience compared to the dedicated devices in all three form factors it's trying to compete in: desktop replacement, notebook, tablet.

How is this a benefit? Most people who buy the surface pro are going to be serious users of computers. It's worth it to pay for good tools. It's not that hard to carry a 7inch tablet and a notebook.

I could see for a student, who is very budget comscious maybe this be useful.

Almost certainly not, since this would reduce the entropy of their passwords, making brute forcing easier.
I've had to do some Windows development recently and as someone who switched to Linux 4-5 years ago, package management is what I miss the most (although I miss a whole host of things). I can't believe how much time I lose browsing web sites, downloading packages, unzipping, and click installing them. I look forward to trying this out.
Very nice, we actually considered using choropleth maps !
This device is terrible. Get an iPad instead.
It's better but not really great. I just don't understand why it has to run within the cmd environment, which is horrible. I use Git++'s shell as my go-to cmd in windows but that's about the same. Why can't it be a complete application that would emulate the "cdm" under the hood? So I can get the feel of a real (as in anything you install on linux) terminal application.
Unlikely,
Aha. So you're saying we can't compare e.g. the tweet volumes of the UK or France with Russia based on the size of the country as depicted on your map? BTW Canada and Greenland seem out of proportion as well. But regardless, I've been hooked on this map since I found out about it this morning. Fascinating.

Agreed, the small N7 plus a laptop is also my choice. But this is very personal opinion, I'm sure there will be others who like it. Still, I doubt there will be enough to make this a commercial success in the end. The initial reviews are not so good.

This class of product reminds me of the joke on sea planes: they're neither good planes nor good boats. Here, I fear it's just not possible to be a good tablet (light, long battery) and a good laptop (larger screen, more powerful).

As far as I'm concerned, and although I initially liked the idea, I'm now convinced it's hopeless just because of the screen size: I like it small on a tablet (7" is perfect to me) and larger on a laptop (13.3" minimum). So no hybrid can satisfy me.

But again, to each his own. Even if such products don't go mainstream, I'm sure some will stick around to serve the people who're happy with a single device and can live with the necessary trade-offs.
Lock elision in the GNU C library
Please take your blinders of. This attack follows the well-established pattern of targeting and harassing anyone online -- a pattern that nearly everyone with a significant online presence experiences.

That the perpetrator uses the most effective means available doesn't make the attacks misogynist, just because the target is a woman and the means is sex. That's like saying that choosing a knife to stab someone to death is obvious knife-ist behavior by the perpetrator. It's the misogynism of society and culture as a whole that is responsible for this; whether the perpetrator is misogynistic in excess of the culturally given amount is a question that we cannot answer based on the evidence.

Vitology is Life
Thanks, I did not realise this.
I did contracting for some short stints when I was younger, and quickly realised that this was it.

I could quote a fixed price for some work, and they'd readily accept my rates. But if I then would try to leave after the amount of time the work actually took me, they'd question whether or not I was actually doing the job properly.

So I quoted even higher on the expectation that 1) I'd have to sit in a chair in their office 8 hours a day and so couldn't do other work elsewhere and needed to be compensated extra for that inconvenience, 2) I'd be bored out of my mind trying to fill the rest of the time I was there.

Never a question raised.

It was frustrating. Especially one job where I as stuck for 3 weeks on a machine with no internet connection doing a job I could easily finish with 2 hours every day. Whenever possible I'd work remotely.
Fox News: "Prime numbers have very little mathematical significance"
And yet the premise of good UI design is that it should be self-documenting.
All that this tells me is that they were underpriced to start with.

In any market where I sell a product and other people can sell an equivalent product, the market settles around a value that varies only as much as reputation allows. If company X has been around for 15 years and you've already bought several of their products (at your current company or a previous one) and found them reliable, that's worth a premium. Otherwise, not so much.

Software components are an even more challenging product to sell, because your customers are sometimes also your biggest competitors; if I see a vastly overpriced component that I know would take me two and a half days (max) to code and test, I'm not going to pay through the nose to buy from an unknown vendor. Add to that "not-invented-here" syndrome, misplaced management concerns about ownership and support, and you end up with components being a hard sell in some orgs.

So, like I say, I can only assume they were underpriced to begin with, and I'm glad to see they're doing research to find their correct price point.
Okay. Fair enough. I usually wouldn't notice things like the HN slowdown features, as it usually takes me a while to compose a reply - but I don't post here much, so it is possible that this forum's set-up just hasn't had time to annoy me yet. I'll email you my response to your previous post when it is composed.

No need for the barf response. It's actually the truest and best advice one can get.

Genius does what genius knows will make him/her happy[1].

That's it. Simple as that.

[1] Of course we know and appreciate the difficulty of defining that. Or that we've appreciated that happiness is probably only "achievable" obliquely. Or that happiness isn't what we are after ... after all, and that it's meaningfulness that we seek. Or that even after searching for meaning we come to the absurd conclusion that our existence is devoid of any meaning! Doesn't matter really, just be happy. FFS.
Articles like this remind me of "Spreadsheet CEOs": people who focus only on what is visible in the numbers, and not on all the little underlying things that make all that possible. Save costs by removing trash bins from every desk. Make money by focusing on the best-selling products or services only.

At the age the people mentioned in this article were busy starting businesses and winning nobel prizes, I was busy discovering my personality, improving my soft skills, getting over myself little ridiculous situations that had always made me nervous, and developing a small set of real, true friendships. Is the result measurable on my CV? Surely not. Did I spend a significant amount of time in bars or hung over? Definitely. Were my twenties wasted? I can't see how.
What I mean is, when you look at the list of people in the article: pick one of them and odds are high that this person is just completely over the top, super smart, IQ over xxx and whatever. When you think you are super smart, you are probably not so smart in comparison to this person.

The reason you get a deduction may not be the reason you think it is. It might be political; insurance companies can't be seen as not encouraging homeowners to protect themselves. It might be financial; they knock a measly percentage off your insurance and Brinks and ADT give them 2x that in a kickback. I don't know either, but I do know alarms don't do what we're told they do.

Here's a 2002 US Department of Justice report explaining the problems. Newer reports from local and federal agencies read similarly, in my experience.

http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/e05021556.pdf

> The vast majority of alarm calls–between 94 and 98 percent–are false (higher in some jurisdictions). In other words, reliability of alarms, which can be measured using these false rates, is generally between 2 and 6 percent. Nationwide, false alarms account for 10 to 25 percent of all calls to police.

"Prime numbers, which are divisible only by themselves and one, have little mathematical importance. Yet the oddities have long fascinated amateur and professional mathematicians."

This article really highlights the need for better science journalism. Not to mention several paragraphs are plagiarized directly from this other article: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23138-new-17milliondig...

I can only guess, though, that Fox News stopped reading that New Scientist article at the "diamond" metaphor because the next paragraph states directly that prime numbers "underpin the cryptographic techniques used to make online transactions secure," which even to the layperson should seem pretty damn important...
I don't think I will buy this but I do like the idea of a tablet that can run Foobar2000.
OP here - the main point is that most indie software is underpriced, mostly because the developer fears not making sales. We have thousands of publishers on our platform, and 99% of them underprice their software. I was giving an overview of why they shouldn't
That confuses 'why the attack works' with 'why the attack was chosen'.

If I wanted to harass a female, I would probably choose sexual shaming as a weapon, because it is obviously one of the most effective weapons available to me, because society is sexist. I would be morally reprehensible for choosing to harass someone, but my motivation for harassing her would not necessarily be sexist. Perhaps she ran over my cat, I believe she did it on purpose and want to punish her. The attack would work because our culture is rife with sexism. The attack was chosen because I'm angry with her for killing my cat: not because I'm sexist.

Language influences both how much bad code you get, and how large consequences arise from typical mistakes.

A larger than average proportion of bad code is a fault of the language, the design choices/compromises made for the language structure.

Micro-transactions are one of the advantages. (Micro-transactions in adult were basically unfeasible before MiKandi, since no adult payment processor would allow a charge below a certain threshold (usually $5-10).)

But virtual currency has other advantages. For example: points can be acquired via offer walls (no credit card at all); it can be bought as prepaid bundles anonymously (via third party stations); they avoid charge back issues (refund points instead of dollars to the credit card); they can be given out easily (had a crap experience? have some extra points); and can be traded for other virtual currencies (just like real currencies and third party exchanges).

>...but Opera isn't FOSS

Chrome isn't either, unless one is referring to Chromium and the differences between the two are more than just name[1]. Many power users like native support of some features opera has that other browser need extensions (with limitations) to have something similar. Pushing a particular browser on others is also just silly when we're all using modern browsers that make it easy to support compared to the crap we went through to work around ie6 and ie7 in the past.

That was my interpretation. In most of IT (operating systems, software, APIs, etc) the more you use something the more you grow to hate it.
> and you want regular inventories of all of your valuables, including proofs of purchase.

Taking photographs is really important. Especially of items like jewellery. They don't have to be amazing hero-shot photographs, they just have to be well lit, clear, in focus, and with some idea of size. (Include a coin, for example.)

If the item has serial numbers include a photo of those too.

This could probably be an app or a website - you give people a checklist of things they need to take photographs of, and how to take good photos, and then let them upload the photos they've taken with descriptions and scans. You store all that in an encrypted blob. (And being careful not to include anything that can lead to the real world address).

> If you're worried about someone breaking in while you're gone, you want solid doors, strong door frames,

Yes. Good doors, and good door frames, are important and they're also nice. I don't know about the US but in the UK you can get insurance rated locks. You'd want to combine a 5 lever mortice lock and a "yale style cylinder" lock.

Polyglot Persistence and Query with Gremlin
For those interested, there are two great works that go into much more detail on not just 20s, but the other decades of peoples' lives.

The Seasons of a Man's Life (http://refer.ly/a4hO) is the work of a few researchers. They were frustrated that most work in psychology studied childhood development in depth, but little research was done into development during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. The research is focused entirely on guys (sorry ladies). Not surprisingly, he was able to find several phases most men go through. Several friends have found the book really helpful when they're reflecting on life.

The Up Series (http://refer.ly/a4hN) is a set of films, each shot every 7 years that chronicles the real lives of a dozen people from England. While it has a bit of reality TV "drama", most all of it is the real unvarnished changes that people go through as they age, including their regrets and accomplishments. It's a remarkable watch, given that you get to see people age from 7 to 56. Just as an example, I feel it prepared me ahead of time to deal with the death of my mother, and savor the time that I have with my dad who's still alive. Ultimately, we all have to face up to a lot of the same things, and it's comforting to have a bit of a map.
Nice hack. In practice, not convinced that CSS animations are that crucial for a scrollTop fn, given that it still depends on jQuery and requires more lines of code.

Effectively, yes. Just because a country is bigger / smaller than another doesn't mean that you can draw immediate conclusions about the relationship between those countries. A bloated country basically means that it's sending proportionately more global tweets than it's geographic area would suggest.
That's just par for the course with an evolving definition of "hacker".

All forums change eventually. Sure, you can nudge it in this way or that, but there's no way to steer it in any particular direction completely so it will go wherever the crowd dictates. Think how many times you've thought about what you're about to write will be received.

That hesitation is unfortunate.
This is awesome news. With this release Play has reached a level of maturity and elegance that will definitely make me consider it for my future projects.
The master advice for being happy at any age isn't even in the article: Surround yourself with interesting people; build meaningful relations.

Every study, every social comparison comes up with this factor as prime factor. It's not money, it's not social recognition, it's not fame. Your happiness is mainly influenced by how much you are tightly integrated into a happy group.

The Human Brain Project's aim is not to create AI - its primary aim is to create a detailed simulation of the Human Brain through big-data integration - in other words through extensive integration of already published data and through integration of strategically selected new-experiments. It is trying to tease out the 'rules' upon which the human brain is built. It has been shown by Henry Markram and his crew that there are in fact rules, which can be simulation, and can explain a great deal of things that would take literally thousands and thousands of experiments - see his connectome paper for an example of how they can predict the connectivity between neurons with a high accuracy - http://www.frontiersin.org/blog/The_Emergent_Connectome/66. The Human Brain Project is composed of a great deal of leading scientists from around the world and their institutions. Do you really think these people (some of which are nobel laureates) are less clued up than the author of "on intelligence". The most pertinent thing to get across here is that the HBP is not an AI project. It is a recreation of the human brain through biophysically accurate models.
