Recharge your cellphone in 20 seconds
There are some big ones like Vodafone, Orange, OTE, T-mobile, Telefonica, which operate in multiple countries, but I think even if you use Orange in one country, and go visit another country with Orange, you still pay for roaming, so I guess they are seen as different entities in each country and she wants the groups to be seen as single entities.

Hopefully this won't slow down competition like in US, and allow for price fixing.
I'm afraid I don't. We never actually found out from AT&T how this happened or who was responsible--someone got in touch with the venue manager and the next thing we knew, a micro-cell showed up.

Jquery:10 best WJSIWYG HTML5 editors for your website
It's unfortunate that this is necessary. Other frameworks have normal iterators, the for loop, maybe a while loop as well. They just show items from the db. Simple. WP has somehow fetishized this simple affair into "The Loop"- 3 different functions, all with slightly different behavior and syntax, with about 40 arbitrary defaults each that must be overridden if you want basic, bare bones behavior. It's no surprise that WP is the only framework that needs an online generator for something that is usually so simple. I could get into "The Post" as well, but I'll leave that for another time.
What if I rename my account? Repository redirects are created, but would someone else be able to register with my previous username and take over repositories?
No (see: Orange, Telefónica or Deutsche Telecom), but each operation will be its own entity with different regulations, different network and different numbering availability. Each country is its own market.

The goal here is apparently to have a single pan-european market, and allow cross-country organizations where e.g. O2 (Telefónica) would be the same O2 in every country where it has presence, without consumers having to pay for roaming and the like. An other goal is most likely cross-european number portability (e.g. moving from Italy to Slovenia, switching operator to a local slovenian one yet keeping the same number).

On the other hand, they also hint at a desire for US-type consolidations and this is pushed by big telco operators, that's extremely worrying.

At the risk of getting slammed by everyone, the evidence goes against starting a company, yet people still do it. The evidence goes against selling to a big co, yet people still do it to pay back investors and for the founders to release some cash.

This optimization is actually replacing jQuery in the inner loop with native calls. It was my impression that the OP suggested that this could be performed more efficiently using jQuery.

> 120,000 new accounts every day is amazing.

Again, context is needed. The exact word they used was "signup." Are they referring to new users, or new blogs created by the same users? I recall someone saying that one of the upsides of Tumblr is how easy it is to just create a new blog when you have a random idea for one.

Also, 900 posts/second isn't hard to achieve if most users are using the site to post a pic or a short message.

As someone not previously involved in this thread, it doesn't read that way to me.

'PayPal 14' Seek Deal To Stay Out Of Prison After Nearly 2 Years In Limbo
Of that list, I'd say the Alibaba + RightMedia acquisitions were worth it. They're huge portions of the remaining value of the company.

However, in general I agree with the post: Yahoo's corporate development group and its management teams over the years have spent billions of dollars on acquisitions that have largely not panned out. That this resulted in founder defections and shuttered products is not entirely surprising.

"No, you're eating pasta tonight! We don't have no vegetables"

"AWWWWWWWW!!! No fair!"

"Shut up"

McDonalds is cheap. Pasta is cheap. Most shit food is cheap and easy. Non-shit food is not cheap nor is it easy. We must make a tax to make shit food as pricy as non-shit food. Then people will start making better decisions.

Now going back to hcarvalhoalves' point -- 9-5 schedule gives us that 1 hr lunch. We cannot spend our time preparing food so we can eat during that one hr. We go for fast-food lunch. Usually that means high sugar, or high something not great for you. If its good for you and can fit that 1 hr schedule, its usually very pricy and most people can't afford to spend say $20 per meal 5+ times a week.

Sadly, the real lesson here is that he should have just forgotten about it, disposed of the remaining counterfeit money, and hoped nothing ever came of the matter. Doing the "right thing" in these situations just opens the door to someone with more power or authority misinterpreting the situation or acting maliciously.

Just based on the name, it looks like that file uses the old color-theme-mode instead of the new theming facilities. You'll either have to find a different version, port it over (I don't know how much effort that would take) or just use color-theme-mode.el again, which is a little annoying.

Very cute! Love the sentence-based construction.

This would be really strong if it allowed you to generate more complex queries. For instance, you can't select more than one post status, select a custom post type, or use meta fields as part of the query.

I get that it's meant to provide a nice starting point, but value for me (and I get that I might not be a target) would be a natural language abstraction of the more complex queries.

It's not really useful to look at a bunch of (relatively) small acquisitions made by a Yahoo run by very different people almost a decade ago and try to extrapolate anything from it today. I don't think anyone would disagree Yahoo has been horribly mismanaged over the years. That at least may not be the case now.

More useful is to look at large, more recent purchases like Alibaba and Right Media which are doing quite well. A company is far more likely to let a $35m acquisition slip down the drain than a $1b one.

Bjango's Complete App Design Workflow
I think often times large companies purchase smaller ones because they cannot come up with new ideas on their own. Not that they are stupid but that the bureaucracy is too heavy for an idea to germinate into something big.

That same layer of bureaucracy and deadweight that keeps ideas from forming will also crush a new acquisition. The people at the large company are good at maintaining; not growing or inventing. Their nature fights new ideas and new methods.
It's a Constitutional right to refuse to give testimony that would incriminate yourself. In certain contexts it's a statutory or common law privilege to refuse to give testimony that would incriminate a spouse. There is no privilege recognized for family members or friends, nor has there ever been in the Anglo-American tradition, nor am I aware of any other country in which there is a privilege against testifying against family or friends.

In refusing to tell the police where he got the counterfeit bills, the person in the story above helped cover up his friend's crime. Helping other people commit crimes is bad and deserves punishment--whether they are your friends or not.
I wonder why someone as Chomsky doesn't question the whole Bin Laden story a bit more thorough. What evidence exists that he was alive after 2001 anyway?

If the video's that turned up after didn't come with a narrative, no one would draw the conclusion that Bin Laden was its lead actor.
It's peculiar that, the only video's which _clearly_ show Bin Laden since 9/11 are two video's where he denies his responsibility for the attacks. Everything that follows is a murky mess of multiple imposters with a story that is all of a sudden the opposite of what we've first heard.

Mind you, I'm not trying to incriminate anyone or point the finger to the US government about anything other than covering up the truth. And whether he died in 2001 or shortly thereafter is anyone's guess, but I for one have not seen any evidence of him being alive since and I'm very much inclined to believe the reports of his funeral in 2001.
Although it is anecdotal as well, it is at least supported by the lack of evidence of him being alive. And it would also make more sense than that the most hunted man (supposedly), able to hide in the mountains while needing dialysis, would survive for a decade.
Wondering if this impacts the security of public key encryption.
Great idea, but kind of disappointed in the data. For a site called leanstack, I don't see any of the used stack. What DB they're using, which framework, etc.

for example, I know Instagram uses python, redis and Postgres. Pinterest python/django but moving to flask and using MySQL. But I'm curious to know about other sites.
Its even less amazing when the posts are copies of existing content. Tumblr is more like instant messaging or social networking than blogging.

The Ron Johnson story is interesting, as he was so successful at Target and Apple. There was definitely alot of ego and refusal to adjust to the signals the market was giving JCP. But the store within a store concept and lack of clutter is a big deal and will ultimately serve the company well.

> Case in point, look at how badly JCPenney fared after Apple retail exec, Ron Johnson, became CEO for just 17 months

Not that I'm disagreeing with anything you're saying, but I would like to point out that the changes Johnson implemented are now widely seen as terrible mistakes on his part, alienating huge swaths of the existing customer base. The problem wasn't that "fiefdoms" got in the way of reform, it's that the reforms were actually just poor choices.

Conversely, you could argue that Apple was similarly a huge dying behemoth when Jobs took the reins.

A CEO can make a huge difference on the upside and the downside (and of course they can also make no difference at all).

The Complete History of SkiFree (from its author)
Though I am as sad as anyone that Yahoo! effectively killed several good companies (Flickr and Delicious top my list of unfortunate casualties), I'd like to point out a couple of things.

First of all, when Yahoo, Google or any large company acquires a product, they don't necessarily do it for the product, but possibly for other technology. The goals of the acquiring company, the founders and the users are not necessarily aligned. This doesn’t mean the acquisition is bad for the company or founder, just bad for the users of the product or possibly for the founders if it goes in a direction he or she didn't like.

Second of all, founders leave for all sorts of reasons. It seems like some of these founders were frustrated by Yahoo!, but I have a feeling that founders in general would be frustrated by working for anyone in general. There's a personality that starts companies and there’s a personality that works for them.
> Are you suggesting they should go unpunished?

It is odd that you go from "don't imprison non-violent offenders" straight to "don't punish non violent offenders".

There's a bunch of stuff that we can do that is cheaper than prison, and better at stopping people from committing more crime. Restorative justice programmes are pretty good.

> The suggestion that the threat of imprisonment does not act as a deterrent to criminal activity is absurd.

Why are you not a thief? Is it because you're afraid of prison, or is it because you know that stealing is wrong?

The rate of recidivism is pretty high, the US imprisons so many people yet still has crime.

> Do you really not see "I'm here because I screwed up. I probably should try to not screw up in the future." going through the mind of prisoners as they sit in their cells?

But it doesn't. Really, it doesn't. People pass the blame onto others. Prisoners may well think "I screwed up by getting caught. I probably should try harder not to get caught in future".

This is more important than anything about Yahoo and Tumblr. I read Isaacson's biography in the hopes of extracting the answer to exactly this question. Upon reading it, I found myself enormously relieved that my approach to Project Euler problems, and math and physics problems in general, follows the same form.

This does not seem to be how I approach medical problems. These seem to be quite a bit more like a flow chart, maybe in the best cases it's a Bodie plot.

Research, however, does generally seem to follow this mold a bit better.
I'm not sure I agree with the last part of this. Setting aside whether he should be in prison at all, he is, and being in prison is not about just locking someone up for a while. The whole 'you are not in control' thing is part and parcel with the experience. I think it's kind of the point.

What I've read about weev suggests that he's the type of guy that will try to push every button on every person at every opportunity. If this is true about him, that he's being mistreated in this way is not a surprise at all. Maybe some good will come of the attention, but I would be surprised if it's a positive change in the way the BOP responds to irritant prisoners.

Finding a startup partner
I'm working on my own startup, and I can manage it on my own for now, but it would be nice to work with someone. I was thinking it would be cool to find someone already working on something of their own too, so it's easier to stay motivated, to give each other ideas and insights, and help each other if one or the other gets stuck. Then, if either of our projects take off, we've got someone we can turn to if we need. What do you think? Anyone interested? How many of you are working on something solo, and are you a developer or a designer?

No, it does not cost more. Things you use every day like cars, fuel, clothing, etc usually cost considerably less in the US than in other countries.

And you might be surprised, but in the US "foreigners" are usually treated much better compared to other countries where immigration is not as common, like Germany or UK.
yes, the color palette is small and known in advance. http://i.imgur.com/wypWt11.gif is representative of the output. so ideally i would be able to predefine the palette and then hook the encoder into a callback from my reqAnimFrame loop.

it could be potentially much easier on the encoder if it did its own scaling instead of being handed scaled frames for analysis. my canvases are typically very small.

Indeed. If true it's probably good to be separated from the prison population to avoid him getting shivved.

Your arguments about compatibility with old browsers is great, but sadly the jQuery team doesn't actually believe that the problem they are solving should include compatibility with those versions of IE: the latest versions of jQuery decided that IE9 is the oldest version they are going to support going forward, as they didn't want to deal with the overhead (both in code and in development effort) of being a library designed to solve the problem of cross-browser JavaScript development... in a world where jQuery is just aiming for "improved syntax for DOM manipulation, compatible only with relatively recent browsers" (something I will argue has always been the case, due to their rather early deprecation of Safari 1.x), those examples cannot be dismissed: jQuery is just being used to avoid the complexity and verbosity of native APIs.
