I tried (but failed to) get it to run at all on OS X. We were able to get it to run on Ubuntu, but thats where it crashed after every three to four scrapes.
The on/off problem exists throughout the new world of Arm devices. All the new low-cost mini-PC things coming from China suffer from this too... the good ones have a physical on/off switch, the bad ones are a huge pain to sleep/wake and are generally always-on. A handful of higher-end (over $100) devices actually support sleep and wake-on-airmouse-activity.
Then the co-op should have no problem regulating this internally. There's no reason to get full protection of the law, with all the unintended consequences it brings with it.
SCP autocomplete is very useful indeed. Especially when using ControlMaster, then autocomplete is almost instantly.
You want to fix Hollywood? Drop copyright terms to 14 years, including renewals, and deny renewal to any copyright that has already been in existence for longer than that: it can finish its current term, but not get a new one.

Make the endless parade of reboots and remakes unprofitable, and Hollywood will get creative again. That's all there is to it.
I've never been one to complain about Apple locking users into iOS and closed systems but the fact the author considers this 'open hardware' and news worthy worries me. Installing an alternative OS on any hardware shouldn't be a big deal, and it also shouldn't make it 'open'. Open means a lot more than having the ability to install the OS of your choosing.
Clearly, but that is not what "more than six figures means".
"ending hunger is incompatible with profit"

Really? I wouldn't think so.

You don't just "end" something and walk away. You still need to maintain and service the issue. There is profit in that.
Honestly, I think Google should be looking at ditching Chrome and making it into a skin on Android. They've over-fragmented their own market by having so many different platforms.
slightly exaggerated: by that logic only one password should also be enough.
I am not so sure. I am at one of the top technological universities in my country and it's definitely possible to get a master's degree in computer science or computer engineering with great grades without having ever touched either version control or knowing what SQL injections are. Heck, both introduction to web applications and databases are elective courses.
Just like the article says, many academical institutions move too slowly to keep up.
I think a passion to learn how things actually work and to do things "the right way" and at the same time GTD is what really takes you somewhere.
I learned exactly none of those things in school.

My general libertarian bent generally would lead me to hate this sort of legislation, but in markets where housing is near max utilization, it's not only desirable, it's necessary. We already have enough of an issue with housing in places like NYC and SF without landlords turning apartment buildings into shitty hotels full of vacationers and Spring Break types who do not care the slightest for the condition of the property or their relationship with neighbors.
Fair enough. As I said you can probably get around with some macros. To the best of my knowledge no such thing currently exists and what markupsafe does is not particularly nice.
Heh, yeah ... I remember Ultima Online where gold had weight and you had to carry it in your back pack. If you wanted to move large sums you had to get a pack horse. :)

But most MMOs nowadays treat gold as something ethereal that you even can't lose when you get killed.
No worries, your explanation of where she is coming from makes sense to me, but I see freedom in our current statist paradigm on a spectrum from freedom the state "imposes" on its people, and the freedom people give themselves.

The the individualistic approach that I had in mind is for people that are deeply concerned about being able to access/share information will need to take a more proactive approach to the technology they use. There is plenty accesible technical information online that is not blocked which can enable people to help create the solutions they want instead expecting the government to be swift in protecting their interests.

For me personally, because of all the issues around the state possibly mandating backdoors in consumer electronics like cellular devices, made me look for alternatives like this: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http:/...

I also think because individuals have much more power on the internet than over any other aspects of society (due to the lower barriers of meaningful participation, though many choose not to exercise such power over themselves do to ignorance,connivence or w/e), individuals should take some responsibility for their own interests as well.

At the end of the day, even if the state mandates something, if their ability to enforce such mandate is not totalistic, organizations and individuals will find ways around to achieve their goals with the freedom they give themselves.
It depends entirely on the scale of the problem. One or two rental units in a co-op? Can be handled internally. Someone on a quiet residential block opening up a full-fledged AirBnB hotel? That's a problem that cannot be solved internally.
> I think the idea is that if the manufacturer was the only one selling

But aren't they the only ones selling tesla cars to the dealers anyway? Couldn't they just inflate their prices to the dealers?
This has to do with a manicpal law, so no. If another city had an identical law then maybe, but airbnb is plainly in violation of it--the court just triple checked.
I've built a script that creates the config by querying EC2 for servers, this avoids having to pass around server names when new servers are created. Just run the script and every server is added.
I greatly miss the whitespace. When I visit my photostream now, I am presented with an entire screen full of things to process. It used to be about enjoying a single photo, but now the experience just feels like "look how many photos I have".

Sure, it's hard to please everyone, but it's hard for me to personally transition from the old layout.

That said, I'll keep my paid account around for awhile if things keep evolving for the better.
Pathetic? Care to elaborate on that?
I wonder whether the economy involved in manufacturing these cartridges, and the printers themselves, wouldn't all but guarantee this costs more than the worlds' poor could ever afford. The article suggests they could buy the cartridges at a local store ... this assumes, first, the existence of a 'local grocery store' and, second, that they have enough money to buy the carts (and, of course, the 0th assumption that there are enough carts to stock the shelves with.)

If they could do that then, presumably, they could already afford whatever else was in the store to begin with, and it would end up being cheaper for the poor who can afford them to just boil the food carts up into soup. I guarantee a synthetic food cartridge is not going to be cheaper than, say, a sack of flour or rice and beans or what have you. And if you're requiring a crowd of people to queue up at the public replicator for their three square meals a day, you've got a recipe for political disaster on your hands.

Now you could couple this with some kind of government sponsored food program, so it's "free" I suppose, But what about regions without any real infrastructure, or stable governance, or even hostile governments?

I'm not dismissing the idea of the printer per se, but I don't see how it solves world hunger. If NASA wants to revolutionize the quality of life in poverty-stricken areas of the world, they should focus on improving global sanitation, water quality, waste disposal, etc.
I'm sitting in downtown Chattanooga and I'm walking distance to 3 vegetarian restaurants, a whole foods, and a local grocery story with food from local farms, not to mention the numerous farmers markets and open air markets that are around on the weekends.

I'm so tired of the negative view of the south. Believe it or not we wear shoes, and you can have good food and entertainment here.
Yeah, I did a doubletake as well. I think "groundbreaking" is a bit of an exaggeration. The Internet of Things has been on the hype train for a decade now, but it still hasn't arrived for cost reasons - and I don't think this changes the economics at all.

Whereas your first comment came off as a bit pithy, this was a really informative one. Thank you for the lesson on r-value and its importance. Not an avid camper, but I sometimes do overnights in the cold and today I learned something important about air pad insulation. Thanks again.

Per REI's page on the topic, here's what they have to say about R-value: "Insulation is measured according to its capacity to resist (that's the "R") heat flow. The higher a pad's R-value, the better you can expect it to insulate you from cold surfaces. The R-values shown on REI.com product pages are provided by the manufacturers and range from 1.0 (minimally insulated) to 9.5 (well insulated). Thicker pads generally offer higher R-values."

good design.
Sure. Remember those Pocket PCs? Those were for the power-user CTO of a Microsoft shop. He doesn't want toys like the Palm Treo, he wants full-featured, .Net-powered applications in his pocket.
I am glad David pointed this out. It may seem like a small thing, however what he brought up can be seen as an Out-of-integrity behavior as a positive phenomenal. And I am not talking about morality, good vs. bad. Think for a moment about the Law of Gravity: there is no such thing as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ gravity;

As economist Michael Jensen pointed out

Integrity as “what it takes for a person to be whole and complete....And an individual is whole and complete when their word is whole and complete, and their word is whole and complete when they honour their word."

And this law seems work just gravity for all human-beings (not just Google executive).

Out-of-integrity behavior has been pervasive, both on an organizational and an individual basis, and that attributed to the unworkabilities in the world.

More about Integrity a positive phenomenal can be read here:

I read the implication that there isn't a solution; his point seems to be that connected devices are becoming so pervasive that even if you want to avoid them you can't.

The implication, at least to me, is that the only way to avoid it would be to go mountain man (I'm aware that may be a bit non-sequitor). But even that would be a wasted effort should the government, for example, decides it wants to surveil you. I've recently finished reading The Triple Agent (http://www.amazon.com/Triple-Agent-al-Qaeda-Mole-Infiltrated...) and Manhunt (http://www.amazon.com/Manhunt-Ten-Year-Search-Laden-Abbottab...). The capabilities held to detect and surveil are staggering and the abilities developed over the last decade to find and capture/kill are impressive and a bit scary.
The mechanism for the induced demand is lower prices. That was my point.
> The whole sharing economy thing is unsafe, ridiculous, and kind of pathetic.

How do New Yorkers win by having less choice?
While I don't disagree with you that there is an opportunity cost of education, it is nearly always better to invest in yourself at an early age[1]. Also, I'm coming from a U.S. point of view, might be different in other countries.

Also, after my time at university I noticed that I didn't need to be a .NET or PHP developer. I was a well rounded computer scientist with the capacity to learn anything I set out to, which is the point of degree. I learned what I wanted in my free time, the technologies you use shouldn't define you.

You've got it backwards. They built Gmail as a fun project to improve a product in an area they didn't specialize in, then worked the ads in after the fact to monetize when it became popular.
"Nobody really cares about your education in this field -- it's can you do it, or can you not?"

Is this unique to software development? Like, if I wanted to break into the fast paced world of industrial fastener sales would prospective employers be worried about my undergraduate degree? My experience on both sides of the interview table has been that after a few (2-3?) years of working in a field, your professional experience counts for much more than your academic credentials. I don't think it's unique to web development.
It's not a "bad" decision if you focus on Android development or you are working for a big company with Java infrastructure (that pay's my bills :).
How ever, as they say: "don't keep all your eggs in just one basket".
Learn other languages and frameworks like PHP/Yii, Python/Django or Ruby/Ruby On Rails.
And code for different platforms (iOS, Windows Phone) if you have the time ;)
I honestly just want the addon that will give everything Eight O'Clock in the Morning/They Live ad-replacements.

On a more serious note, I'm happy to hear that it's not Ubuntu-only. I removed my Linux training wheels a decade ago, so I'd hate to be restricted to a single distribution.

Please do explain.

I think the sharing economy is brilliant and the way of the future. If there's spare capacity in the world, why should it not be utilized. Unsafe? Is it more unsafe to a degree that the ends don't justify the means? I doubt it.
I've used Airbnb to stay in Manhattan last winter and it's a shame that it comes to this since I was planning to use it again.

The thing that made us use airbnb was two folds: Having a kitchen was important to us (quick breakfast eating whatever we want) and also the feeling of "living in the Big Apple".

Second part would have been impossible with hotels. Sad really.

As for some rants about AirBnber's "not being as invested in exhibiting neighborly behavior".

The same could be said about other cultures moving in your neighborhood.
this way they get more revenues. see, just the customer service in us is $150 billion market .what about global customer service?what about doctors,lawyers ,or every other type of knowledge worker ? if Watson is as good as ibm claims, all those people would pay alot of money to use it.

on the other hand ,all of the search engine market is less than $150 billion per yer,probably much less.

and not fighting with Google is also a great bonus.
Many CS programs are non-decent.
Not technically, but it does colloquially.
So they have a public XMPP server and a bot that gives out the instant answers in their search – I somewhat fail to see how this is groundbreaking or even interesting in any way?

Sure, the bot is nice to play with, but somewhat cumbersome in the long term for me. So why is this great? :)
This is actually an annoying thing about NYC. In NYC, when people say "New York," they actually mean "New York City's five boroughs." When people say "upstate" or "upstate New York," they mean the rest of the state of New York minus NYC. When people say "the city," they mean "Manhattan." The title only makes sense to residents of NYC.
find this hard to read without thinking about beer the whole time. Could have a bit more serious tone to the identity.
- The weather is certainly humid but it does provide for year-round climbing, shady spots in the summer and sunny spots in the winter. The rain can be a factor but there is plenty of steep stuff that stays dry. What's nice about Chattanooga in particular is that you can live downtown (for cheap) and be a twenty-minute drive from really, really solid sport/trad climbing and bouldering. Boulder is the only place I can think of that is similar in terms of city-size and access but while the weather is drier in the summer it's much colder/snowier/windier in the winter.

- While Chattanooga and the "Deep South" might not be world-class food destinations we still have more to offer than catfish and possum. I mean squirrel is pretty good...

- US immigration is definitely frustrating, not arguing there.

- While I've never climbed in Cape Town I've been fortunate to climb across the US in addition to Europe. Out of curiosity, what are the top three reasons to climb in Cape Town over Thailand for instance? I'm always looking to travel/climb in new places.
Well, anecdotally - since I've been here I've always thought we have a longer "spring/ fall" climate than a really hot, humid summer. I would assume the elevation of the city and the Cumberland Plateau have some effect.

It definitely gets hot in the mid-summer months, but not nearly as severely as other cities like Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, even DC.

Also, I think calling Chattanooga "deep south" would be a severe misnomer.
Few things that should be pointed out here:

1) First off, most uses in the city have always been against the rules -- it's been a known issue.

2) from TFA: "this law is only actionable as a secondary offense. For example, if the police show up after a noise complaint and then find you renting out your place, only then are you in extra trouble." So it's not going to stop most hosts in their tracks.

3) AFAIK, there is still a small subset of AirBNB rentals that are within the rules -- if you have a 2+ bedroom unit and live there as your primary residence, you are allowed to rent out your second+ bedrooms.

Happy (and eager) to be corrected on any of the above if I have the wrong understanding.
I might take issue with saying that Tennessee is the deep south. Regardless, while there are plenty of foodies in the south, vegetarianism is still looked at askance. I was vegetarian for eight years, and my trips to the Alabama/Mississippi every summer were pretty challenging.
It technically always was illegal.

To be honest, I think there's a huge risk in the airbnb business; hitch-hiking was not only popular but normal for students and young people for decades in the US. Then a couple of people were raped and murdered and fear spread.

It's awful, but I think there's a significant risk for this exact scenario crushing airbnb. Not that it would be common or even likely, but all it would take was once, and the people could even know eachother. The media would pick it up and sensationalize it and the business would go down.

Concept to Customers in 24 Hours: How We Did It
They mean "more than the lowest amount that has six figures" (which is 100,000), but they say "more than six figures", which implies seven or more figures, e.g. 1,000,000 or more. Yay for context ;)
I used 'groundbreaking' because this is not a full-fledged computer like the Raspberry Pi and this has significant constraints when compared to the Pi. Despite this limitation they were able to include a Wi-Fi chipset.

Maybe groundbreaking should've been reserved for something else better, I'm sorry.
No, but if you wanted to actually design the industrial fasteners your education would probably be questioned. That's more akin to software development.
> To me he's turning into a Richard Stallman of security/privacy.

Which means... that he's always right?

Richard Stallman is usually dismissed due to his eccentricity, but he's ALWAYS right. AL-WAYS.

I lost track on how many times I've seen the internet raging about something while I think "Richard Stallman told you so".

Politics aside, there's an appalling amount of food waste in developed countries. It's certainly not as simple as "send all the not-pretty produce to Africa" or "ship all the no-longer-perfectly-fresh bread to North Korea," but there is a huge potential target for reducing what we throw away and getting it to people who need it.

The major problem, of course, is interfering with people's lifestyles, if only in marginal ways... we as first-world countries just don't handle having our convenience messed with very well.
I know it's not precise, but most people parse "six figures" as $100,000. "Multiple six figures" = $200k or more and "more than (six figures)" just means > $100k. The reason this happens is because it's often considered gauche to talk about income directly.

I know it's imprecise and annoying, but it's a lot faster to adapt to the way the rest of the world speaks than to try to get them to change.
I think it is up to us to figure out how to make this brave new world work.

As Bruce says, the real issue now is not surveillance or even information, but power. Who gets to watch whom, and (of course) who watches the watchers?

I see four strategies for coping with the issue of power --

1) Default - maintain current trajectory - this is what most of us will do.

2) Withdraw - lower one's profile. This seems to be Bruce's plan.

3) Expose - bring buried secrets to light, and the watchers under surveillance. Expect harsh repercussions. The US govt has been increasingly secretive. It has been removing whistleblower protections for some years now. It has been punishing exposures of information more harshly than in the past (though I suppose the exposure of Valerie Plame might pass as an exception, unless your name is Scooter Libby.)

4) Disrupt -- frustrate the collection of information through jamming, feeding false info, deletion. But info seems to be cheap enough that bad info doesn't really hurt those using it.
> I would posit that Google isn't doing well in search from a quality perspective, but obviously they are doing very well from a market share perspective. This just means they are ripe for disruption.

By what standard? If its just your personal subjective interpretation, it just means that someone has an opportunity to steal you away as a consumer.

If there really is a broadly-shared, unmet need among Google's current consumer base that is both technically feasible to address and easier to address in a new platform (either technically or for social -- e.g., for organizational inertia reasons) than it would be for Google to implement in their own services, then, yes, Google is ripe for disruption.

But lots of people (including people selling rival search engines sponsored by deep pockets rivals) have been saying that since shortly after Google became the dominant search engine, so unless you are going to spend the effort to either make a credible case as to the specific unmet need that supports your claim that Google is ripe for disruption (and "I would posit that Google isn't doing well in search from a quality perspective" is the polar opposite of "specific" here) or, better yet, show me the MVP of your product that not only identifies the unmet need but demonstrates the feasibility of meeting it, I don't see much substance to your position.

I think we shall see more and more of this, airbnb, kickstarter and many other "social clearing houses" are essentially delivering services that investment regulation and consumer protection legislation has been developed explictly to prevent

Its not that this specific NYC law exists and been upheld, its that there is a whole class of such laws across the West. People will bump into these a lot more.
