> Er, no. Fair use is actually fairly broad.

You are right, I didn't take fair use into account, and Fair Use does take "Transformative nature" into account.

Fair Use does not help the parent poster "make sure [they] don't get sued" though. Fair Use is a defense after you get to court.

I should have said "If you don't do that, then any recognizable use of someone else's image can result in a lawsuit."

Focus Groups: Why People Behave Differently When They Are Being Watched
When I started doing multi-threaded programming a number of years ago there really wasn't any confusion about this, parallelism, concurrency, preemption and contention were just some of the basic terms you had to learn.

Why is there so much more confusion now that we have "better" tools?
Only if 'relativism' is reduced to 'different relative to my own' due to solipsism. There remains the possibility that there's an absolute morality intrinsic to the universe that your own personal models fail to describe accurately.

i.e. just because you cover up your eyes doesn't mean that I can't see you.
If you transfer a million dollars from bank A to an account in bank B, then the following will happen:

1) Bank A will decrement your [fake] balance;
2) Bank B will increment that account's balance;
3) Bank A will note that they owe 1 million to bank B, and Bank B will not that they deserve 1 million from bank A. They'll settle that balance somehow (that's a bit complex and irrelevant), but the debt now exists. If they don't trust each other that much, then bank B will credit the funds only after bank A has paid them; this often causes a couple days delay in international bank transfers.

Do you now see how they can't "create money" by whatever they do in their databases? To give cash out, banks need cash; to send money somewhere else, they need to give money to that somewhere else or convince that 'somewhere else' to lend them that money.

In essence, altering an account balance is exactly equivalent to faking a document stating "Bank owes me X dollars" so well that the bank (temporarily) believes it - nothing more.

does this mean stock android will eventually get to use the smart gesture and motion features of S4 ? I would hope Samsung has contributed their code and future iterations of similar hardware will be supported in android ! for once let there be a good marriage between competition and a common open mobile operating system (aka Android) amongst manufacturers
Also, the competitor's launch can be helpful in that there are now a lot more people that understand what your app does and might be looking for a better or more customized-to-their-needs version.
Well, if there is anybody who can claim to have "cloud" services, that's Google...
- Pretty sure it still doesn't have landscape mode
- Doesn't consistently honor next/previous track commands from headset/bluetooth controls
- Abruptly pauses when Navigation talks, where Play Music muffles itself briefly
Not sure how big the competitor is in terms of manpower, but it looks like ~40k downloads over the past 24 hours, though the reviews on implementation have been mediocre, because they're being flooded with users which took their site down.

As far as launching mine, probably 80 hours of work.

"For routine medical procedures, general purpose robots with enough dexterity to do autonomous medical operations don't exist yet. What we could have is a cluster of talented medical robot operators (in india? somewhere cheap) doing a dozen operations a day by telepresence with hospitals outfitted with standard medical robot equipment."

Not per se, but we're coming damned close in this area. Surgical robots are becoming quite dexterous, and even though most of them require remote operation, it's not because of limitations in the dexterity or precision of the machines -- it's because of limitations in the AI.

Also, as with most things in medicine, the elephant in the room is liability. Who's liable if a fully autonomous machine malfunctions in a surgery, or is improperly maintained, etc? The hospital? The manufacturer? The machinist/programmer? The doctors who were present in the same room as the machine? Nobody wants to be stuck holding the bag on that one.

This is exciting. My biggest headaches with Android stem entirely from Eclipse.
Looks like they sell through Etsy, their own site, and a third boutique site that only carries their product. None of the other mass marketplaces.
I'm glad somebody brought that up. It seems like the current mindset is 'an App I can make a living with' rather than 'an App people need'. Executions seem poorer and poorer as well.

I blame that same reason for end of gold App rush. People just won't buy something because they like the idea but will make sure that execution is adequate before parting with their money.

As I got carried away onto subject of App business right now, these are my thoughts:
"iOS (number of users) - rising Android (number of users) - rising
That are the only two things you need to know - you have a terribly large market.
You can't make a living with a sh*t app anymore. No, people won't buy just any app just because it's .99 in the store.
But with the right approach and the right idea (and naturally, good execution), the outcome (revenue) will be at least the same as if you launched that same app some time ago.
I'll even go as far that good apps sell better today than a year or two back."
So he'd probably have less than 50k in income liable to taxation, and that puts him in the 15% bracket, so for 3 years his tax would be about 25k. How they got from there to 140k is an interesting question -- that's a hell of penalty & interest charge.

IANAL, but from a practical standponit, I imagine if a WoW dealer both buys and sells WoW gold for a fiat currency, the government would want them to be equally as liable since that would also be an excellent way to launder or otherwise transfer money without oversight.

The same would be true for any bi-directional virtual curency, really. Since Blizzard does this in Diablo 3, I wonder if they've gone through this process.

Given I've had a lot more experience with the FlexBuilder fork than mainline Eclipse, I always found it incredibly frustrating compared to VS. Now, VS doesn't have all the features that are in other IDEs, but getting out of the gate is downright painful by comparison.

I've used WebStorm (also based on IntelliJ) for NodeJS dev, and like it a lot. I still like VS more, but VS is so slow and buggy by comparison, it's hard to use these days. So I can imagine that this new variant will be very useful, and far better than Eclipse for the same work.

YMMV of course.

I came across StrongBox in this blog post, in which DeadDrop was mentioned but the repo not linked to:

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2013/05/stron...

In the OP, "DeadDrop" is listed prominently but not as text...so when I came to the page, my first instinct was to do a Find for "deaddrop" to see if the repo was there, which comes up empty of course.

Without reading the Aaron Swartz post, I would've assumed "DeadDrop" was an existing service because of the brandlogo, and not a link to the open source repo.

Note: I'm not saying there's anything wrong with how it's done, I'm just pointing out my thought process: Anyone who comes to the OP without having read the Aaron Swartz post would not know of the open-source project underneath it (though it isn't a fork, so my mistake) and may not click through the "DeadDrop" logo. People who have read the Swartz post may be like me, wondering where the Github code is, as it is not linked to in the Swartz post.

Just trying to make the project more visible for those of us less skilled at sussing out HTML. No fault of the New Yorker's...both posts are aimed at different audiences (though the Swartz post should probably just include a link straight to DeadDrop for convenience's sake)

>I think the Mt. Gox thought that they were immune

Well, as we stand in May of 2013 perhaps it's obvious that Mt. Gox should have identified themselves as a Money Transmitter and Money Service Business. Let's agree on two things though:

1. There's a fuzzy line as to who should have to get a license for this. For instance, the person that sold me Roman denarii for U.S. dollars on EBay might have to get a Money Service Business license with a strict interpretation of the law.

2. Literally two years ago in May of 2011 when Mt Gox filled out the forms, Bitcoin was not considered by most people to be a "currency". When most people think of currency exchange, they're thinking of U.S. dollars, Euros, Swiss Francs, British Pounds, etc. Is Parker Brothers responsible for registering as a Money Service Bureau because they exchange U.S. Dollars for Monopoly Money?
Abstract:

Modern large-scale software design often requires ever-growing team sizes. As team size scales up, so does the amount of churn (and number of bugs introduced) to a code base in a release. Unfortunately, the amount of manual developer or QA testing necessary to find those bugs scales quadratically (or worse) as N features are tested by hand in M configurations. The solution is to keep coders, not QA, responsible for maintaining the quality of their individual components, and to make it trivial and fast to run just the right tests that cover the code the coder changes. D comes pre-baked with lots of tools to make this easier, including a standard unit testing harness, but there'smuch more we can build on top of that to help write not only tests for code, but code that can be tested in an automated fashion.

We'll discuss techniques and tools for designing large-scale testable code in D, including unit testing, mocks, fakes, inversion of control, and dependency injection.

Benefits: Learn how to write unit tests in D, and how to structure D code so it can be effectively unit tested.

Speaker Bio: Ben Gertzfield is a mobile engineer at Facebook. He's designed and shipped testability and dependency injection frameworks for Objective-C and C++, and is a huge advocate for freeing engineers from the burdens of manual testing.
Sales tax penalizes those living hand to mouth more than is probably advisable. I don't mind progressive taxation, but I would love to see them stop trying to do social engineering with the tax code and just charge a fixed rate based on income, period.
No, it is not equivalent, as without a constant, steady inflation rate, actors in an economy have a propensity to hoard savings, which can in turn create a viscous deflationary cycle. Economics can not, at least not any time soon, be an exact science as there are infinitely many factors at work, however, a steady, relatively predictable amount of inflation coupled with understanding the time value of money is the best approach for the foreseeable future.
That sounds reasonable. I've been thinking about doing logging as a text blob on the affected object, but it haven't seemed useful enough.

Using your approach, I guess it would be a table like

create table logs (
tableName varchar,
oldValue text,
newValue text,
userID int,
when datetime
);

Or did I miss something?
Google Glass, SciFi, Robert Heinlein & the Fair Witness Effect
a clever, possibly elegant, algorithm

It’s just barely clever enough that no one thought of it before. It has to be really simple, because the innermost loop (estimating how cloudy a given pixel is) runs several trillion times.

using tools anyone could use (aside from a massive server farm)

EC2’s m2.4xlarge (> 64 gigs of memory, 8 decent cores) is going for $0.14/hour right now. You could run ten of those all day and spend less than on dinner at a restaurant with cloth napkins.
You can, but AT&T has already discontinued the HTC First. If you're lucky you can pick it up for $0.99 before the pull it from shelves.
>diametrically opposed political systems

Hey, the world is so much wider than this. How do you see them diametrically oppsed?

(Which makes me think about how to sort political systems anyway.. even if you give me a manifold to work with, so diametrically opposed makes sense in a geometrical sense.. high-dimensional delirium)
Of course the requirement exists for all SaaS providers. But while a break in on Evernote reveals my notes (which would be bad, but not lethal), a break in at bastio might compromise the servers where I host my SaaS products, triggering a very nasty chain reaction.

So while the risk you face may be the same, the damage that can be done is vastly greater. But I'm sure you're aware of that.

Assuming someone gains root level access to one of the boxes bastio is hosted on, then he could

1a. block all outgoing traffic from the server except for the service (to avoid alarms getting through)
or
1b. replay the heartbeat sent by the server
2. retrieve the database
3. Sniff on all incoming traffic for the HttpOnly Cookies

The worst thing is you might not even know which customers' keys are compromised.

I'm sure you are thoughtful about security, but of course you are a great target because of the valuable loot (root access lot's of other servers)

A lot of your concerns are considerations for me too as I am thinking of launching a distributed SaaS. Just take it as input to your threat analysis :)
Tech Jobs are Spurring Growth Throughout California
This isn't too far away from Braess's paradox[1], which is based upon drivers making assumptions about the quickest path and attempting to optimize their journey at the cost of everyone's journey time.

It works for network traffic too as OSPF will pick the shortest path, but we can alter routing tables to correct for that.

Why we hate words like "moist"
Funny, in the profile of Mt Gox in The Verge[1] they said:

> Mt. Gox estimates it costs $25 million in the first year to become fully compliant in the US. But considering a regulator could potentially swoop in and seize funds if a violation were found, it’s worth it.

I called bull[2] on that figure when that post was published.

The other reason i've stayed away from Mt Gox is despite their claims of compliance, they aren't listed on the Californian DFI website as a registered money agent[3]

When that article was posted I also emailed Mt Gox, since I couldn't find them in any registry as an authorized money transmitter, to ask them where that $25M was spent. The response I got was:

> Unfortunately, our financial statement is yet to be available. Once it is available and we have the permission to publish it from management, we will release this.

I admire Buffer's attempt for a healthier lifestyle of their employees. It might not sound as attractive as beer and pizza but it's better for everyone - healthy and happy employees are a backbone of a successful company. Maybe gym memberships and sports/cinema tickets are next step for them.

On the other hand, free eBooks aren't as convincing when attempting to lure a good employee to the company.

Google unveils Hangouts: a unified messaging system for Android, iOS, and Chrome
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
