A manifesto written by the defendant discussing how there is a moral imperative to break a law is a pretty decent piece of evidence when you are trying the defendant for breaking that law. At the very least it demonstrates that he knew what he was doing.

I don't see how this helps launder money. Laundering money is providing a plausible answer to the "Where did this money come from?" question, and "From anonymous donors via bitcoin ATMs" is not a plausible answer.

Great, yet another feature that should be being implemented by the OS VENDOR, intead being implemented in a non-standardized manner by an APP DEVELOPER.

See kids, this is what happens when your OS vendors decide that its more important to add shiny to their products than it is to fix deep architectural problems. In this case, that problem is that the AUDIO API's do not already have a native way to add this indicator, anywhere in the OS ..

IF there were a real Digital Audio Mixer implemented in your average Consumer OS, then we'd have per-app audio controls natively being included in such a Mixer interface .. however, the OS vendors have decided its more fun to make shiny things than actually .. you know .. provide valuable OS services.

Color me grumpy. It sucks that the Google Chrome team are having to implement this..

You could lobby the school to make sure there are NO "snacks" available, anywhere, anytime, ever.

I don't know how it works in the US but here in France if there were vendor machines in the schools where my kids go to, or if they were served hamburgers or fries at lunch, I would be up in arms, and eventually I would take them to another school (they're in a normal state-run school BTW, not a fancy private school).

My kids drink only water, at home... or in school!

It may be impossible to monitor what our kids eat during the day, but it's certainly possible to make sure schools don't feed them junk food just because it's more convenient.

Also, I don't think it's up to (young) kids to "make choices", good or bad. We make choices for them (we being parents and tutors). Schools should ONLY offer healthy food, and nothing else.

That's what schools are for: educate.

Offering a mix of healthy and unhealthy food for kids to choose is like teaching maths by offering either to watch TV or practice math problems, and expecting kids to not choose TV.

I wouldn't call such a place a "school".

Ask HN: Do you have a favorite TODO list manager?
I was considering Todoist because its supported on virtually everything (Firefox, Chrone, iPhone, Android, OSX and Windows, and I bet the Windows app works in Wine) and even has an HTML5 webapp with offline support.

However, Remember The Milk and Any.Do also look like strong contenders. Any.Do lacks Firefox support, and Remember The Milk lacks both Chrome and Firefox.

So, how does everyone else just GSD?
Steam never had always online (obviously this excludes online games like TF2). Steam has (ignoring offline mode here to honor your statement that it was broken for years) "check at start", i.e. the moment the game starts you must be online. Nothing else.
Always online is what Ubisoft tried with Assassins Creed 2, i.e. the game communicates all the time with the server and if the connection dies you cannot play anymore.
Yes yes yes, a thousand yes! Thanks for saying that. Drinking soda is the start of all problems.

Kids should drink only water, every day, all day.
Valve's management is an experiment. May be its just me, but this article and few others make it seems like a successful experiment. I look at Valve as a test of certain kind of corporate structure. The test is in progress. The results are still due.

Y Combinator Moves Across The Street
This paper, incidentally, has the greatest opening paragraph of all time:

"In the tropical forests of New Guinea the Etoro believe that for a boy to achieve manhood he must ingest the semen of his elders. This is accomplished through ritualized rites of passage that require young male initiates to fellate a senior member. In contrast, the nearby Kaluli maintain that male initiation is only properly done by ritually delivering the semen through the initiate’s anus, not his mouth. The Etoro revile these Kaluli practices, finding them disgusting."
I turned this on a few days ago after all the high profile drive-by hackings. I couldn't be more happy with the results. I've added exceptions for youtube, reddit and a few other sites but I feel a lot safer browsing the web now!
I noticed the article was written in September. Is the move still happening? If so, when?
That's "application specific" not machine specific. I'm not sure, other than IP address, how they could tell machines apart.

I like Jekyll. The look of it. But I do not want to get into Ruby. I tried to Jekyll for a few months(and then I stopped blogging, planning to take up again). That comes down to Python and Java(yes, Java!).

For Python I have listed some Pelican, Hyde and Blogofile etc. Have not been able to decide which one to pick(Anything in Java?)

I am looking for:

1. Minimal but looks good(clean and simple)

2. Lightweight(will be on base Webfaction package)

3. Better docs and tutorials available.

4. Active development

5. Templating shouldn't be complex and rigid

6. Tag based RSS feeds supported

7. External comment system support e.g. Disqus, LiveFyre, IntenseDebate etc.

8. Should support import/export from and to other blogging systems

Would be nice to hear pitfalls and goods.
I dunno. Depends on whether you can do interesting things with 'em.

For example - you build the social hot-or-not for clothes purchases. How much is the data from that worth to a high-street retailer as a way to guide their pricing and stocking decisions.

(and - come to that - I see folk well out of their teen years doing this. Women especially in clothing stores... and what is the purchasing power of groups who are rich enough to afford smart phones in the first place)

Unless you have low income, you pay more than that in the Netherlands.

Payment for health care is composed of two parts:

You pay about EUR 867 to 1,140 directly to an insurance company PER ADULT depending on how much you want to pay yourself in case of required care.

Then there's the socialized income dependent part of the insurance that's either payed via your employer or by yourself, which, in the latter case, is 5,65% over up to EUR ~51 K.

A family of two, each with an income > 51K then pays between EUR 7,480 to 8,026 (atm USD ~10K) each year for health insurance, subsidizing insurance for lower income groups.

I realised a few years ago that pretty much every database course taught only teaches OLTP. OLAP never really gets a lookin.

At my university, standard normalisation was taught in the "databases" course. OLAP was mentioned as part of the "advanced databases" course.

The database course at that time blew about half its time on building PHP applications to talk to the database. I hate to second guess my professors, but I can't help but feel that a more productive use of the time would have been to teach normalised OLTP in the first half, and dimensionally modelled OLAP in the second half. Better yet, to divide them into two courses and spend some time talking about database history ("here's why network and hierarchical databases sucked") and maybe some introduction to how query planners work.
But see, here's the thing.

Unless you're running a multi-million dollar fraud, money is the proof it works.

Proof as in: a lot of other smart people do worse.

Of course, Google, Apple, MS, Valve products are all different, and they would probably be bad at doing the other company's job (to a certain extent)

And yes, MS is monopolistic, is inefficient at work, have several divisions that are a money sink. Still, last I heard, they only lose in profits to oil companies.

Yes, some models require more money to work, still, they got that money in the first place and are free to work like that for as long as it works.
Hope you guys continue the good work! :)

That's hardly an apt comparison. People are wary about unlawful trespass on private property and there are numerous and typically obvious signals which people use to understand which private property is out of bounds for entering without explicit permission and which private property has implicit permission to do so. More so, a sign specifically detailing the rules necessary for entering would make this even more clear and there would be little or no reasonable defense against someone who went out of their way to break those rules. And it would be a crime to do so, either unlawful entering, breaking and entering, or trespass, depending on the specific circumstances. However, these are local misdemeanor crimes, not federal felonies. Though if someone walked through an obvious hole in a fence in order to intentionally bypass the security on, say, an army base that could be a felony.

The internet includes just as varied a spectrum of activities as does private property, so the implications and consequences of violating the ToS for a given site are, or should be, equally varied.
The article is a bit misleading in that it states that a spiders web could stop the train. The paper is clearer in this respect. Of course it should say the fictional web in Spiderman could stop the train, if it were made of the material of the actual spiders web. They assume a thread diameter of 5mm, as opposed to probably about .1mm in a real spiders web.
At best you could make a case (and I'm talking you making a case here, not talking from a legal point of view) for involuntary manslaughter, not murder with intent, unless you can show that they knew prosecuting would lead to his death.

That's nice to read: I ended up with that for an application I'm responsible for. I was pleased with what I came up with, but it's one of those things where end users think something like "oh, huh, nice, you can finally do search on this site", but they don't have any idea how difficult it is!

Merge them in-place - if the inital array A had 400 items and array B 600 items, then put the sorted first 400 items in original array A and the last 600 items in array B.

For any practical purpose that's as good as a contiguous array, and in embedded systems you might even make so that the initial two arrays are already contiguous in memory.
I would love that too. Blows my mind sometimes how much CPU some pages or sites use. One of my kids plays Moshi Monsters, and that seems to challenge the CPU more than even Far cry 3. Which to me is absurd. I suppose that would be something to do with MM not using the GPU?

So yeah, a CPU indicator in the tab could be handy.
The mere existence of a company that is both successful and uses a particular management approach proves only that the management approach is not so horrible as to actually be incompatible with success. To argue that the management approach contributed to the success in a meaningful way requires more evidence.

I feel like we just keep swinging back and forth between handheld input devices and cameras for gesture control. I thought cameras were cool because they didn't require me to put some weird thing on to use my computer, but now this is cool because it works at a higher resolution than gesture-control cameras.

The whole point is that the provided data supports many different completely valid sequences - unless that specific 'look-and-say' is very common in the company problem domain, there are multiple valid answers.

They've already got a caste system, actually. If Valve hires you to do customer support, the only thing you can ever do at Valve is customer support. They don't allow sideways-promotion from their support department like many game companies do with QA/support staff because they don't want there to be a 'back door' into the company.
A few people I know actually still had dialup when Steam first started becoming popular (in 2004, U.S. broadband penetration was only around 35-40%), and they found it pretty onerous to have to dial up every time they wanted to start a single-player, offline game. Less of an issue nowadays.
As I (a dutchman) understand US law a plea bargain is only that. A bargain that has the prosecution make a plea to the judge.

The judge, however, is free to ignore that plea.

There is no guarantee whatsoever that a judge will follow the recommendation in the plea. He/She could still have thrown the book at Swartz.
Still better to have the unprefixed version in your code than not to, I'd say. I really doubt the spec would change so that old code was still valid, but had a different meaning; most likely, the worst that would happen is old code would become invalid (and CSS's error handling makes invalid code not a big deal).
Your analogy doesn't fit, as Aaron was not charged with something analogous to murder.

It would be more akin to attacking, but not killing, Bob after having publicly declared that "It is a moral imperative that we should kill Bob." You might then be charged with attempted murder. The law[1] recognizes attempt and conspiracy to attempt as crimes, just as it would if you had attempted to or conspired to kill Bob.

This is not "thoughtcrime", either: it still requires you to take a swing at him with your axe.

I have an established and documented history of downloading large datasets as a professional academic researcher in order to do statistical analysis on them.

Consider (again, because I mentioned this in reply to you once before) that Aaron did not make use of his status as an academic researcher when he did what he did. It might have made a good defense had he gone to trial, but it isn't a magic bullet that absolved him of scrutiny for what he was observed doing.

> What does Microsoft have to do with this?

I don't have a source handy, but around 2004-2005 Steve Ballmmer came in a short visit to my country (somewhere in Eastern Europe), he had a even shorter meeting with the Prime Minister of that time and sure enough not 6 months later a Government programme was launched and all the schools and public libraries in my country had to be equipped with Windows machines. This was around the time when people thought that tools like Open Office actually had a chance of toppling the MS Office suite.
I was surprised how much blame this article lays at the feet of Cisco. What did they do except sell the customer what they wanted? Sure, they might have been more noble if they put on the breaks in the name of the taxpayers, but that could hardly be expected.

It takes a lot of nerve for someone who just wasted my money (federal dollars) to try to blame it on the other party for fulfilling the order.

This looks pretty nice, and the live reload is great - though I have to say I've needed live reload more when working with native apps than with games. That's probably because I always use cross platform engines for mobile game development (libgdx and Unity).

Incredible effort though, I'm particularly impressed that it works over Wi-Fi, and the technology choices look sound. Anyone given it a try yet?
Whiteboard interviews have another fundamental flaw. Introverted people (typical for programmers) tend to perform terribly when they're watched and being evaluated. Even when you're provided with Google, docs and REPL the most important tools may still be missing: your mind and your ability to focus. Whiteboarding sessions are useful for many things, but coding is not one of them.
Ruby 2.0 means less memory usage with unicorn since the GC in Ruby 2.0 is copy on write friendly.
I doubt that Apple will let Loom-based games into the App Store if live reload is enabled; my understanding is that scripting languages are only acceptable if all code is bundled and not loaded remotely. (As a web guy, the concept of waiting days to push a fix is crazy, but it's their Garden.)

All in all, this looks like a good toolset, particularly for those techie/creative hybrids who liked making games in Flash.
Puzl’s coffee news- a daily review on small business topics
The trouble is that you actually do need some of this flexibility in the procurement process. If your department needs Photoshop, you don't want some goofy non-technical auditor telling you that he googled around and thinks GIMP will do just fine. Or you want one particular contractor because just last year they did an amazing job on something that was pretty much exactly what you need.
That's how we operate technical interviews at Grubwithus. After a short phone screen and a ~2 hour test for basic competency, we invite candidates into the office to work with us on a 1 to 2-day project where both we and the candidate get to see how we like working with each other. We get the chance to evaluate the candidate's ability in a (sort of) normal working environment as they tackle actual problems they'll face in the day-to-day job, as opposed to a high-tension technical interview with irrelevant/meaningless questions.

Loom's live reload is mostly for development purposes. You could try using it in deployed games but obviously it presents issues (for instance with Apple). Some game studios do ship bytecode on the fly to their iOS games, but they understand the risks they are taking...

I don't think he is epeen waving (where e this time is education).

Sometimes with technologies going through the Gartner Hype Cycle people choose the incorrect one, because of the buzz, the glamour around it.

NoSQL is most definately in vouge, quite rightly, too many people often use heavy RBDMS when they are not required.

But too many people perhaps are too quick to dismiss the regular database without actually understanding it.

Any suggestion to avoid hype of technology, question your use cases fully is in my mind a good suggestion.
