Your analogy is completely inapt:

1) A rental car, like a rented house, is still under your control. But your e-mail account on Google's servers is under their control. They can do whatever they want with it. It's more like your friend letting you use part of his garage to store stuff--a third party still retains full control over the space.

2) As far as I can tell, Google can access your e-mail whenever it wants, so the "locked container" analogy also fails.

Again, I think the fact that Google/Microsoft/etc can scan your emails and documents to send you targeted ads is determinative here. If you're voluntarily exposing the contents of your documents to that process, how can you claim to have an expectation of privacy?
You can't fork funding, but I'm thinking that we're talking about forking content. If the Wikimedia Foundation decided to go in a direction people didn't like, it would be possible to fork all of their content and start your own competing wiki (bring your own funding, of course).
My point is only that these are cultural issues, not technological issues; I agree that it might be useful to see referee reports.

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately for the situation stated, the startup capital involved is more significant since they are an online retailer in a very popular, but very expensive hobby.

In this case, I think a mutiny is far less likely because the valuation of talent is far less than its true worth. In this case, the staff just needs to win back their own confidence that they are good enough to find a place where they may be appreciated more as opposed to teaching an old dog new tricks.
I tried googling around and cannot find any direct evidence.
I will say there is a feast/famine effect and right now in the hot areas looks better than I've seen since the late 90s.

Before crying wolf, understand that bitcoin exchanges are unfortunately not battle hardened internet businesses. Two of the largest exchanges MtGox and bitstamp are both under DDOS. This may be an attempt by someone to make a large buy at a cheaper price. Due to lack of trading, prices are going downward.

However, BTC China is still trading at above $275! That's the beauty of bitcoin, it isn't restricted to just one region in the world.

Yes, the exchanges need to toughen up and it's sad that someone can manipulate prices so easily but bitcoin is still very geek centric and as long as geeks understand and hold their BTCs this can't succeed. Of course, now that regular people are jumping on the bandwagon it'll be interesting to see how events unfold..
Actually it's pretty much a Tesla-only bill:

the new bill is pretty narrowly specific for a company like Tesla. [The bill] permits U.S.-based companies that make 100 percent electric cars (so no hybrids) to sell directly to customers.
See, it's times like this people should remember that bitcoin is not yet a currency and is rather a toy for things like http://bitcoinpyramid.com/r/91 and http://satoshidice.com, or for speculators.
I'm the CEO of ZenPayroll. This launch is really special for us because one of our primary goals is to empower accountants & bookkeepers with modern software.

Using our new functionality, accountants and bookkeepers can now offer modern payroll to their clients, and manage all of them from a free centralized dashboard.

There's a growing trend of small businesses outsourcing their back-office. These business owners are strapped for time and are juggling many different balls all at once. Independent service providers are there to help but they're dependent on the tools they use, which unfortunately have usually been overly complex and expensive.

With the rise of modern SaaS tools, these accountants and bookkeepers can now offer a much more compelling service to their clients, streamline their business, and hopefully expand.

We're thrilled to be a part of this shift and if anyone ever has any feedback/questions/thoughts to share, I can be reached directly at josh@zenpayroll.com

We put doors on restrooms. Claiming that unencrypted email should carry a legitimate expectation of privacy is like claiming that people should expect privacy when they go to the bathroom on the side of the highway. People may want their email to be private, but that does not mean that we should pretend that email really is private.

Really, we need encryption to be widely used, for people to learn about it in school, and for people to generally expect messages to be encrypted. We have not really won this fight until people encrypt private messages and get angry when private things are sent in the clear.

I've been using AngularJS for a few months on a side project of mine and it greatly helped move a lot of the code complexity to the client side. Hooking it up with a REST API was simple and got rid of almost all of the server side rendering.

Here's a particularly useful sample app, implemented in both Angular as well as Backbone.

http://coenraets.org/blog/2012/02/sample-application-with-an...
i dont know, built this with angular : http://markme.alwaysdata.net

it works , i like the DI stuff though i always used my little lib for that before( https://github.com/Mparaiso/Pimple.js ) .the 'dirty checking' always felt like a hack , i'm glad Google is working on it with Object.observe. as for the code inside the html, since it is a "scoped" eval with its own dsl it's fine.

But i still use backbone especially for games and non dom related apps.

what matters is choice , and angular is still light weight compared to beasts like Sencha.
What it comes down to is empathy. Empathetic people are able to put themselves in the shoes of others and understand their circumstances and use logic to rationalize their own emotions. In the long run, this type of person is better to work with. That's why they say look at how someone treats a waiter. An empathetic person understands the waiter made a mistake because they are overloaded with tables or their mind is frazzled because they're working their second job of the day with a sick kid at home. The person who lacks empathy will only suspect pure incompetence or malice as the cause and have an outburst or berate the terrible service.
Last I checked they do not support many states. Whats the latest list of supported states?

I'm not sure if shutting down is a great idea to prevent panic.
From the very moment they could communicate, I worked hard to teach my children common courtesy. It was the best gift I could give them. They didn't go to fancy schools, they never took "enrichment" classes, but they know how to be nice to people and make friends. I think it paid off, because they are all doing pretty well.

Courtesy makes you likable and smooths human relationships in everything you do. It gives you a huge edge. I don't understand why people don't do it. Maybe they grew up in an environment where courtesy is taken as weakness. Or maybe they are so convinced of their own merit that they feel there is no need to be nice to the "little people." Either way, they are seriously handicapping their future happiness.

Courtesy offers so much gain for so little effort. From smiling and holding the door open for someone at the supermarket to giving a considerate reply to someone who went to the trouble to come in for an interview, courtesy makes life better for everyone. The return smile and sincere thank you from the person at the supermarket brightens your whole day. The rejected candidate who received your thoughtful message might be the exact fit for a later job.

Similar to the quote in the original article, I believe you can learn a lot about a person by how they treat the hired help, whether it be at work or in a restaurant or hotel. If someone has no power of retribution, even if you are a selfish jerk, and you still treat them kindly, it's a pretty good sign you aren't a selfish jerk. On the other hand, if you are considering a future spouse or employer, and they treat servers and underlings like trash, someday they will treat you like trash too.

Courtesy is karma. You give to others, it always comes back to you.

When it comes to paying customers, they do give you more access to personal support but you've got to be spending a serious amount of coin with them to get to that point.
Yes!

Recently an outside corporate executive from a competitor was brought on board and the first thing he marvelled at was the lack of any sort of culture the place had. To him, it felt more like a gas station than the hip place he had come from.

The company is in a very "young" niche (extreme sports retail) so to see something more akin to a 70's office pool blew his mind.
Am I the only one who thinks of Bitcoin as purely a speculative commodity which is leveraged mostly by the fact that it is in a financial grey area?

Plutonium is a synthetic element, requiring a nuclear reactor to create, then must be purified. Uranium is currently unknown in asteroids, and even if it were found would require refining with thousands of large centrifuges.

Converting uranium to uranium hexafluoride, centrifuging it over and over, then converting it back requires massive industrial facilities, currently impossible in space.

I have been following BTC China along side MtGox, and it seems that BTC China is starting to fall also. Price was ¥1700 ($274) 15 minutes ago, and now it runs at ¥1,386.00 ($223). I'm still not sure if this is due to MtGox being DDOS or people panicking and selling everything.

Just curious, but where are you getting this graph from?
Adding a fee might have helped if they'd done it from the start, but it's too late now. Sticking with PPS but only paying out when a block was found also wouldn't help; Eligius tried that and as soon as they hit a long period of negative luck everyone stopped mining there and the pool had to be restarted with a different payout method, screwing everyone who'd mined there previously in the process. (That issue with Eligius's payout method was actually predicted well before it actually happened.)
There is a good chance that a bill enabling direct-to-consumer for all vehicle types would not pass.
Fantastic example and it sounds like it went well.

What about if "guy" == "son and "boss" == "father"? Any tips? :)

I think it's a useful visualization, but I prefer matrix plots to observe the weights. You can see the weights start differentiating themselves as training proceeds, and you'll notice that some layers tend to learn a lot faster than others. The unit activations (neuron outputs) are similarly useful to visualize.

I've seen more corporate mutiny attempts in a few years than most people do in their lives. If you want mutiny, you have to divide power against itself. Power wants to unite. It wants the competition to be between it and the outside because that's the unfair kind that it can always win. Creating competition within power forces them into fights they might actually lose. They don't like that. So it's hard.

The problem with deposing bad leadership is that it usually likes being bad, because it's more fun for such people to be arbitrary, capricious and mean than to actually hold themselves responsible for making good decisions. You're going to have to find a "good guy" executive to lead the fight and, often, there aren't any. They've all been driven out, and bad guys or apathetic people remain (most corporate execs aren't "evil" in the sadistic sense, but merely apathetic and corruptible.)

Effective corporate mutinies don't come from rabble-rousing. They come from executive turmoil. You have to create a Red Team and a Blue Team and set them against each other in an all-out war with no quarter and existential stakes. Warning: you'll probably lose your job even if your side wins.

Usually, successful corporate mutinies lead to the winning executive contingent becoming powerful, but their supporters (including those who started the mutiny) being the thrown-aside "useful idiots". So that's another problem with it.

I love the idea of corporate mutiny, but I've also seen enough to realize that it rarely works. It's better to just let brain-drain take care of it (and be part of the drain, too).
"Directives are hard. Working with isolate scope and transclusion is tough, and Angular’s documentation on the subject doesn’t make it easier. We found that before jumping into writing an ambitious directive, it’s best to start by not writing a directive — just using normal templates and controllers"

I have the same experience. I also tend to do the occasional DOM manipulation from the controller, using jQuery. I know it's frowned upon in the Angular community, but it at least allows me to experiment and, as the quote implies, figure out what I want before I know exactly what I need.

That being said, I'm starting to use directives more and more, and they are certainly a powerful tool that cannot be ignored if you are going to build an Angular app.
I thought you were worried about leading zeros or something.

In calc 4.0 on XP, I can choose from a few options for each column and the default (called "Standard") results in a column that I can use in calculations (if I highlight the cells it shows the sum, in formulas, etc.).

If I specify the column is "Text", leading zeros are retained.
Have you asked your attorney why he adds that warning, and asked whether attorney-client privilege is waived if email messages and documents are exchanged over an SMTP system which allows the messages to be read by providers and intermediaries?

I asked once. The answer was: no, it is not waived and no warning need be attached. Applicable law revolves around intent and that is largely determined by who you choose for recipients. There is some allowance for typos and mistakes when addressing or sending. The warning is just to remind people of appropriate conduct, encourage them to report incorrectly addressed messages, and make the intent extra clear.
Thanks for the summary. From this, it does appear that they used an antivirus update server as the attack vector.

And about SK's internet infrastructure--believe me, I know. I had an account at Woori Bank when I lived in Korea. For internet banking authentication, they gave me two different PIN numbers (one 4-digit and one 6-digit) and a scratch-off card with a password matrix on it (at each login it would require me to enter digits found in different positions on the card), in addition to username/password and requiring me to install an AhnLab antivirus program, an "anti-keylogger" program, and 2-3 ActiveX encryption programs.

I believe it was actually written in South Korean law until very recently that browser security/encryption MUST be implemented in ActiveX, and HTTPS/SSL was completely unheard of in Korea. I think these other authentication measures were devised to make up for the weaknesses of the ActiveX encryption.

When I asked the bank rep why they had so many different authentication measures, the response was, and I quote, "Because Chinese people do the fake things."
The fact that other double standards exist in other parts of the internet isn't what I was debating. I won't argue with you that there is an inherit double standard among both sexes, but seeing as this thread is about the website in question -- that's the one I was addressing.

Also, in no way should double standards and sexism lead to more double standards and sexism.
A lot of trained computer scientists work primarily as engineers. Sometimes engineers do science. Sometimes scientists do engineering. In my experience it's not clear cut.

Depending on the sub field of CS, some academics do mostly engineering stuff with (hopefully) rigorous evaluations of their work, while others (HCI in particular) do a lot of formal science.

Outside of a handful places (like MSR and similar) people with computer science training generally don't participate in the production of new knowledge within the framework of the scientific method. But usually they could, if needed.
Part of me is pulling for Bitcoin, but dang was that funny.
You don't need the src="text/javascript". Only <script> ... </script> is required.
Exactly what I was thinking. Those machines are usually handled on a monthly installment so they are recurring and lucrative sources of income. I tried one but it was like trying to sleep with the creature from Alien perched on your face all night.
Oh weird, you accidentally left your referral ID attached to the URL for the pyramid site.
I appreciate the daily submissions because I am only slightly curious about the price of bitcoin as long as it's interesting and newsworthy (i.e. rising or falling significantly). If the price of bitcoin stabilized it would cease to be newsworthy and I'm sure the daily submissions would stop. I suspect many people feel the way I do, which is why these submissions get upvoted.

If you're using a SAML Identity Provider to login to your Google Apps environment, then, yes, it should work with your current IdP.
The law avoids anthropomorphizing computers. So the "person" here is Google, not the ad-bots. The ad-bots are just tools used by the person who has access to your e-mail.
It's funny how in one breath the government tells us that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy for data on the internet and in another the DMCA says that the act of knowingly breaking any security, no matter how weak, is a serious crime.
If you do have a verified account at both, yes, it should be fairly simple. As of now though it's unlikely that your trades will go through.

Also, the price has started falling on BTC China as well.
Of course, but that does nothing to take power over research away from the likes of Sarah Palin and Todd Akin.
right, I should have used "area" instead of "term". I meant the bachelors/masters/PhDs in "Informatics".
I took it to be a bit of a statement on instant gratification. You expect to visit XKCD and get a dose of humor (or something equally interesting), consuming it in a few seconds before walking away. This strip can be seen as a reminder that some things are worth a longer investment of your time -- though maybe you don't feel that a drawn-out reminder was necessary to drive the point home.
I know a fair number of people with a wide range of CS-type BS degrees from vocational schools up to top tier universities. None of them are working "$8/hr no benes" jobs. It sounds like you're just being unnecessarily pessimistic.

Here's an article that lists the average starting salary with a CS degree as $56K ( http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2012/04/12/college-de... )
And another that lists CS major unemployment at 4.3%
There was a lot of BitCoin related press coverage. This is probably related.

Volatility is high which will harm the adoption of BitCoin by vendors, which will in turn drive the price down when people realize they can't do anything with their BitCoins, etc.
I think a better solution is identity based encryption, so that the sender can encrypt the message before the receiver has their private key. Senders should have multiple IBE services to choose from, and we should have standards that allow or even require threshold IBE (so that no single party can decrypt all messages). IBE services may fail to take verification seriously, but the sender of a message could simply refuse to use services with a reputation for being lazy or malicious. It might also make sense to create a hybrid system, combining IBE with PGP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_based_encryption

[Edit: it pains me to say this, of course; I am not a fan of systems where some other party or coalition of parties can decrypt messages. However, it would be better than what we have now, and it is closer to the "putting a letter in an envelope" abstraction.]
Once the transaction is processed and you have your BTC, then yes. I don't know how fast MtGox releases BTC from the wallets they control though (or similarly, how long it takes BTC China to give you access via their controlled wallets).
It is sorta a currency; you can buy things in selected outlets. But sure, right now the large movements of bitcoins seem to be speculators who treat it as an investment for capital appreciation rather than a currency, and that's not sustainable until it has some objective worth outside of itself.
excellent comments. it does rarely work. those mutinies for reasons similar to why entrepreneurial ventures fail. success rate is about the same. secrecy, strategy, timing. an idea that is defensible. established elements are threatened by it. try to crush it. risk, etc.
Most ridiculous startup ideas that eventually became successful?
To everyone claiming that bitcoin isn't a currency, no shit!

Currency doesn't happen overnight, it's a process to get there. Just like anything revolutionary, it takes time before anyone knows what it will be come. By the time (with a very big IF) bitcoin becomes a viable currency, it's price won't be $200 anymore. It'll be at least a few thousand per coin and people will be transacting in micro bitcoins.

What bitcoin is going through right now, is puberty. If you invest early, you reap profits. If you invest after it is stable, there is very little profit to be made.

Love and give every new idea a chance until you've used it and have a personal reason to hate it.

Negative speculation is for chumps
Don't disagree with what you said.

Maybe I didn't put it clear. But I wasn't referring to apprenticeship, trade union or anything relevant to them, I was simply joking about the "plumbing" factor of any computer-related jobs/roles, the majority of them are as boring as "plumbing".
