It's really not. It's the UE3 Mobile Engine. Which while it's compiled from the same C++ source, It has enough things stripped during compilation to not really be considered 'full UE3' custom shaders for instance are not supported.

And atop of missing some things from UE3, Citadel is designed specifically for limited devices.

If you want to make international phone number entry work better, I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about that recently.

I do think there is a place, in a distributed company or working with offshore resources, for "idle chit-chat".

Although it may seem like a waste of time, this is how people bond. Even if you're dealing with different cultures, people still have birthdays, weekend plans, weddings/children etc. These are common and help bring people thousands of miles apart together.

Err, I seriously doubt that. He talks about these sorts of power dynamics in his Gervais series, and personal experience leads me to believe that it can't be taught. It can only be learned by making real power plays with real stakes, and losing. If you're really sharp, as Zuckerburg was, you can develop savvy early. Otherwise it takes lots of hard lumps. YC in my estimation wouldn't be any better or worse for learning power than just going it alone.
yep, as you probably know the proof of work idea came from Hashcash which was designed as a spam filtering system. I guess we've all just got locked in to email as it is. Looks like Spam assassin supports it, I wonder if mutt can be configured to support it.

I'll assume you are not intentionally mis-stating my argument. I separated Zuckerberg's strengths into two parts: (1) savvy and (2) knowledge of how investors operate. (1) is intrinsic or learned through experience and nothing external in the current milieu precludes it's use. (2) can be taught, as it was to Zuckerberg.

Registered again with a different username(n3m0), still can't login. A good suggestion is to login people directly on first register, esp since you are not validating the email.
The claim about PCI compliance is false. The requirements for DSS refer to "data at rest", which this absolutely is. You might squeak past your internal auditor or a really busy/lazy/cheap external auditor, but it's not going to prevent you from having to accept all liability due to a data breach. It's not as if PCI DSS is trying to prevent someone from stealing your physical media.

Please never use this as an excuse to store credit card numbers or track two data in the clear.
The prevalent attitude here is worrying.

As a non-american, I think diversifying and spreading the production (and knowhow) of technology is a good thing, in pretty much the same way not having only one browser/os vendor is a good thing. It's even better when it's spread geographically, and across different cultures.

I understand the reasoning of wanting to keep every thing local, but, and please pardon my frankness, it seems selfish .
The power law part is why the contribution of the other 99 percent of outcomes to the expected value is close to 0.

If, for example, the distribution of outcomes was uniform between 0 and 100 billion, the startup would be worth 50 billion. Because the distribution roughly follows a power law, 1 billion is a better estimate.
No. The U.S. never imported cheap labour and treated thouse people in ways deemed illegal in parts of its competition at the time.
Thoughts After a Week with Google Glass
> To see this, imagine if the minimum wage were set just above your current wage. You would then be out of a job.

It's not nearly that simple. Someone needs to do most of those jobs, and a substantial proportion of them are in companies that can't hide illegal hires easily. E.g. try to explain to tax authorities why you're not paying payroll taxes for servers if you're a restaurant. Instead many companies will have to increase prices. Sure, that sucks for export businesses, so it is not without cost.

It is almost comical when people present government protections as making it worse compared to US conditions, which are at a level that most Europeans shudder at the thought of being subjected to US working conditions. The US is a shining beacon of how individual negotiation does not work to get decent working conditions for the vast majority.
Cool, will play around with that on the weekend ;) Could the ubuntu VM run anywhere in the cloud or do you get latency issues with x11 forwarding over the net ?

I could also run the VM from the laptop and ssh -Y from the workstation or laptop locally to have a portable setup. But my Macbook Air is rather slow compared to the pc.

edit looks like latency is a major issue with X11 forwarding so i see why you do it this way...I guess for my purposes its easier to just use a complete Ubuntu VM to develop in and sync that between machines.
Digital Ocean is largely untested in this regard.

On my early programming days we used to write hex dumps into so called monitors, I guess it should be no problem.

On the other hand, the VM cool kids of today might have an issue.
The last two sentences of the article imply that it might not have been theft after all:

A charge of lying to the FBI about the laptop has been "resolved," according to the filings. There is no mention of charges regarding theft of government property.
Find your own ideas, and then learn to sell them, to posible users, to possible partners. And then if you get clicks on fake buttons and or signups, start to build a more elaborated product.

Kerning, character spacing and character shape are all designed to help legibility, and I think frankly that the Windows approach is a naive attempt to optimise one aspect of legibility at the expense of all others. So yes, I'm afraid I do disagree that it is more legible, I think it sacrifices too much, as these screenshots make clear the font is deformed so much it looks like a different font, spacing is all off, and glyphs are uneven.

This is somewhat subjective, and you might have a different opinion, but there is more than one variable in play when it comes to legibility, it doesn't just come down to how sharp the text is.

Both TCP and UDS depend on it. UDS uses an API that follows the BSD sockets standard. However, TCP makes sense when you use nginx as load balancer between multiple PHP-FPM backends. A really tricky setup if you ask me. For UDS, besides lower latency, the namespace is cleaner (filesystem paths vs numeric ports - much easier to automate the configuration), and (at least under Linux) they follow the filesystem ACL. For example, under my setup, only nginx's user is allowed to read / write to the PHP-FPM sockets.
Did you even look up your question on a search engine before asking it?

I am not sure if we need to confirm emails since we do not us the email for anything useful. We should probably avoid validation for now.

Agree that capitals in urls suck. It's the framework we use that generates this kind of urls by defaults. Will work around that in the future.

please let me know if you receive the validation email. it seems to work for me.
It's fair enough having a slogan like 'Be the best', or claiming things about your service and products in hyperbole. But I literally laugh, not figuratively, when I see a company completely mislabelling their product or service. Things like BT Infinity, Pepsi Max, and of course Virgin Galaxy. You have to ask yourself what they will do next? What's the next iteration after you've used such language? If there's ever a galactic scale Virgin offering will it be called Virgin Universe?

Somebody should have been told to leave the room in that planning meeting.

So, is there an RBM implementation as accessible as VW?

Just like most other countries then. Consider that "Made in ..." started with the British passing a law to protect domestic industry from cheap manufacturing in Germany. Except it backfired badly when German industry realised that "Made in Germany" quickly became a mark of quality.

Or that developing countries are still being penalised heavily by trade barriers making entry into markets in the developed world incredibly hard in many sectors (especially agriculture, where the west is shovelling cash into their domestic agriculture via subsidies)

The Bitcoin community could agree on one block to be the "last" block and compute all balances reached so far. Then start a new block chain with a special first block which initializes the balances.

This requires a protocol change and lots of coordination, but may be preferable to a situation where mere possession of a copy of the block chain qualifies you for jail.

MS would never be able to pull that one with an existing install base, so that's something we'd have to not buy in the first place, perhaps winRT 2.0 might look locked down like that.

The other scenario would be if windows moved to a rolling distribution type model, perhaps even for free. They could pull that move then.

Apple to reach 50 billion app downloads today
It's funny to think of it as "the West" as it historicly used to be, when now a lot more happens east of China.
The EU didn't force apple to open up iOS, and this is with a near monopoly in the tablet space. Microsoft doesn't have to close down windows, they just need to make windows rt the default option for consumers wanting to get a machine that runs office and some games.
The key phrase here is "At my university". You're definitely going to get an oversampling of business douchebags trolling for cheap labor on college campuses.

Once you get out in the real world for a while this won't bother you anymore because you'll realize that plenty of business people really do understand the value of good developers, and with a certain amount of talent and experience you will write your own ticket in or out of a startup. As a developer all you need to do is watch out not to be taken advantage of; educating these tech-neophyte business people is not really possible as they are multiplying rapidly as startup culture percolates out into global business culture.
> This could easily be "Throw on Google Play to help clear out this inventory so we can focus on our new Windows tablets."

If clearing inventory was the goal they'd be dramatically dropping the price, not installing a competitor product on their tablet. To me this makes it clear that Microsoft's investment was nothing but a move of desperation to not lose their Android patent case. Like many other cases I suspect, they made sure signing a patent deal a "win win" for the other party.
I absolutely agree with you that spreading the production is a good thing. But that's not really what's happening with Shenzhen.

It's the centralisation in Shenzhen that, while awesome in one way, is the most troubling to me. If "something", be it politics or natural disaster, or crazy madman, happens to the wrong part of Shenzhen, the global impact would be dramatic.

Remember a bit over a decade ago, when earthquakes on Taiwan sent RAM prices soaring? Or when flooding in South Asia sent harddisk prices through the roof not that long ago?

The centralisation in Shenzhen is rapidly becoming a far higher risk to the global economy than either of those two.

Your illegal worker point is moronic. They can't get jobs because they are not in the country legally. The solution isn't to give them jobs but either throw them out or give them a visa.

> Environmental destruction happens because government restricts property rights and creates commons which belong to no one. For example, when the river waters belong to no one, people feel free to dump into it. As soon as the waters have an owner, the owner has an incentive to protect them.

Ok, now i think you've gone full retard. If the rivers a protected by a rivers authority then they are not ownerless.
Community driven somewhat implies unpaid. At least it seems so to me? There's no proven business model for games that supports paying a staff and being GPL. Being GPL also means you can't ever release on consoles, handhelds, or mobile.

I'm not sure how you could say Source engine isn't mod friendly. Lots of great mods have been made using it.

Professional grade engines are also becoming increasingly available at very affordable prices. With Unity there's really nothing stopping anyone from making any game they want.
If you desire a consistent mouse experience, you almost always want to leave the mice at their optimum DPI value and you are very limited in choice.

RTS players tend not to care about this because they do not need the level of accuracy required to ping off headshots while moving, thus they're happy with "good enough" while manipulating DPIs in ways that'll cause all sort of sensor problems which could be a deciding factor in an FPS game.

If you care about having the best mousing experince you're really talking about using a deathadder, g400 and their kin. You are correct though, fancy macro buttons and high price tags tend not to get you the best mouse. But to think the RTS player relies on their mouse as much as the FPS player is folly.
Agreed. The insidious thing about this article, though, is that the author is feeding into startup-wannabe culture by catering to the question that is the first out of the mouth of the most clueless "idea guys". It almost seems like a ploy for page views given that the rest of the article is fairly reasonable and I have no reason to doubt the author's credentials.
Why users are important - and other horseshit
Users are not important. In fact they are meaningless. The commie speak that they are and they drive products is complete utter horseshit. So is the notion that we care about them.

We write software to solve problems and because we can. Ive seen my software make users happy in person. But Ive now realized that that small scale notion is really just a load of crap we tell ourselves to think we are impacting the world. My users the thousands of them out there are worth no more than a "like" on Facebook. So I decided, Im going to stop giving a shit about them, because its just a delusion. My products are about me, what I want to build, users be damned and go away.

How to Innovate Using Data, Interview with Bitly Data Scientist [Audio]
I am in bangladesh and I am often sad to see people bring bangladesh garments industry as a example of exploiting poor people. While I am sure there are some exploitation going on, bangladesh is much much better off with the existence of the garments sector and poorly paid workers, considering the alternative.

Bangladesh garments sectors amount to 80% of their export business. It employs mostly poor village women who was house wife before, or house maids or beggars or seasonal work; all of which paid even less money than the garments industry does. Which is why, there are less people available for house maids, or seasonal farming work.

Garments workers who goes on strike for higher wage are the minority, because they somehow figured out the game that if they make enough noise and if the media picks it up the garments owner will be forced to raise the wage; even when they are well above the minimum wage for garments set up the government.

Seriously no one is forcing anyone to work at lower wage.

- There is a minimum wage set for garments workers, which might not be up to western standard, but people in bangladesh do quite good with it.

- There is no lack of garments work available in BD, if they don't like the wage or the working condition they can always go work somewhere else.

- While there exists poor working environments in the some garments, overwhelming most of them (from my personal experience) has pretty good standards with safe environment.
For those, like me, that didn't notice it at first, its a very small one on a chain around his neck. I think.
