Perhaps, but inflation is less than the basic interest/liquidity premium, so you only need to lend out/invest some of your cash to stay ahead.
Perhaps, except the questions they answered 'no' to are pretty much exactly what they do. I'm not sure what Mark was thinking they actually did when he answered those questions.

Its interesting to me that typically this would be a simple "hey you filled out the forms wrong" kind of thing and the officers would go down and change their paperwork and correct any missing licenses, pay whatever penalties etc. This however is blown up as a 'big deal' which suggests that at least some folks would rather have you believe that the concept of bitcoin is illegal.
If you slow it way down after it 'freezes' you can get an idea how it's caught in a loop. (I wonder how many people have noticed you can slow it way down to see the head move.)

Sure does. Did you know that you can still entirely lock up windows simply by having a bunch of programs access the hard drive too much at once?

Yes, (or rather a offshoot company) but they go straight to the DVLA and get the drivers details. All automated.

The DVLA does a fairly good job of acting like a ETL tool - I paid for my road tax recently. Legally I need to have an MOT (road worthiness) certificate, car insurance, valid drivers license - each one passes data back to the DVLA and when I go to pay up, I no longer have to traipse to the post office with documents in hand, just hit their website and they already know my documents are in order.

Only a small liberal part of me worries, the rest takes the convenice
Somehow I'm not surprised that Mt. Gox was completely unlicensed as a "money transmitter", and that they denied involvement in such on their bank account questionnaire.

For once this at least seems like a legitimate takedown.
Also in US, if you have a latest GPS and have settings setup to avoid Traffic and "the Shortest Time" option, you usually get longer routes avoiding traffic congestion.
The killer feature that they showed is an integrated UI layout preview tool, in a pane alongside the editor. Click on a widget in the preview to select the element in your layout file. This is neat but fairly ordinary; the great part is that it can show multiple previews at once, for different device sizes. Or for different locales. These all appear to update very quickly, if not live, when you change your code.

As in similar to the above benchmark, as in spanked by Go in Erlang's case.
It's harder than it sounds, as we use HttpOnly cookies and, much more importantly, have little to no XSS attack surface.

As far as injecting JS after server compromise: At that point, an equal concern is really attacker access to application memory, as we protect against the (admittedly edge) case where the attacker replaces the served Javascript but doesn't have access to memory. We've taken steps to reduce the opportunity for memory compromise.

Also, we are actually working on a reaction-oriented intrusion detection system that will take appropriate actions when invariants are tripped. But more importantly, we're moving to the daemon model, where customers have much more control over the security of their systems at the network level.

Many service providers, including DNS and hosting providers, use web-based control panels and must properly secure their systems. It's not a requirement that's unique to us. If you offer SaaS, you have to lock it down.
The other place you really feel the lack of generics is in the collections. They are built around the empty interface so that they can hold any type. Then you have to cast back to what you want. Exactly like Java pre generics. ugh.

Well the important thing to keep in mind is that there are several ways to fund or de-fund a Mt Gox account. One method entails going to a local kiosk and submitting cash.

Sure, the feds can shut down all of them eventually but how many innocent people are they taking out with this Sledgehammer-Shotgun approach? This is reminiscent of their heavy-handed takedown of Megaupload which caused legitimate individuals and business to lose access to their legitimate date.

All good points. The big difference with the bridge going to Objective-C, though, is that I believe it is now possible to build a native UI by calling right from JavaScript to Objective-C. Impact is interesting for games and canvas-like rendering, but what I'd love is to be able to build the models and controllers of a highly performant, native-UI iOS app using JavaScript and UIKit. Sort of like Appcelerator with a layer removed.
Perhaps, but construction workers tend not to spend much time considering the implications of language in the way that people who are college educated might. So what you have is more a clash of the cultures than real homophobia.

The way I've always thought of the word "gay" being used in that way was not so much that it was bad to be gay (as in the sexuality) so much, but that you are associating the person with certain stereotypical gay traits such as effeminacy which would be somewhat insulting to a stereotypical macho construction worker.
Great blog, good guy. Community is involved too. He's pretty dedicated, though, not sure you could get the same effect with a nationwide network of stringers.

Any indications of when this will be released?
So stoked, I love Intellij, Rubymine, and PyCharm but for some reason setting up Intellij to do Android dev is always so difficult (and the Jetbrains pro version is not cheap at around 600 bucks iirc). If Google has made any of the env setup better I am all about this.

How would the funding method make a difference? Any money you send, cash or otherwise, is going to end up the in the same Mt Gox account frozen by the feds, with no way to get the money out. Again, see e-gold.
If race detectors so behave, then they aren't very good race detectors - most aren't good, in fact, because they can't be very good, because they support concurrency (that's why Helgrind misses bugs and Cilkscreen doesn't), which was a part of my point.

It's a pity if GPUs, which are really a platform for computation acceleration and not for concurrent event handling, lack deterministic race detectors; a good detector not only wouldn't mask a bug that was occurring, but it would detect a bug which perhaps you never observed until running the tool.
This release is down to zoom level 8, which is roughly 500 m to 1 km/px – what I think of as regional rather than local. You’re seeing mountain ranges and river valleys, not what you have planted in your garden.

Right now with this project we’re thinking about how to serve people making small- to medium-scale maps on topics like global environmental issues, shipping, travel, etc. At higher zoom levels (higher resolutions), our more conventional satellite and aerial imagery seems to be meeting people’s needs for now.
I've just finished building my first proper Android app. I've built simpler things before but this was the first one that took significant development time. I would guess that about 20% of my time was spent debugging and fighting Eclipse. I thought Xcode sucked but it looked flawless compared with eclipse. Freezes, crashes, multiple emulators launching and none of them actually running the app. Errors in my code that weren't actually errors and were fixed through rebooting Eclipse.

If Google can make Android Studio good it's huge news for Android development.
By May 2011 when the form was filled out, Mt. Gox had already pivoted to bitcoin.

Look, I build these things as a hobby. I am not a hysterical nay sayer. But..........

Firstly, planes and helicopters are a lot harder to fly. So there is a skill barrier that puts most people off.

Secondly, these drones are very stable. Couple that with now cheap HD corrected cameras, and any one can literally spy right in to your daughter's bed room.

And this is the real shit of life right now. Almost everything fun and cool is also threat to privacy and freedom, as much as it protects privacy and freedom.

The game has changed. Even a year ago my drones were "cool". People loved to see them and we fascinated by them. Today, they fear them, they are suspicious of them, and now my motives get questioned.

My recollection is that the prizes, once you adjust for the number of tickets required to get them and the difficulty and time involved in getting enough tickets, are severely marked up. There are undoubtedly more efficient ways to launder money. Not to mention that to do this with any significant sum you'd need a lot of people to be playing these games for a long time. Adults would raise a lot of suspicion, and kids would want to keep the prizes. The main value the restaurants like these offer is entertainment.
Another perspective: http://tech.mit.edu/V133/N26/swartz.html Swartz's lawyers initially sought complete release of information with no redaction of identifying information (including SSNs and Birthdates see: Pre-motion statements and the actions regarding maintenance of certain records they were obligated to destroy at the end of the prosecution). Clearly balance is needed and the employees of the victims in a criminal prosecution (JSTOR, MIT) deserve reasonable protection.

Why do you think that 'typically this would be a simple "hey you filled out the forms wrong" kind of thing' ?

I'd guess that every single such violation is prosecuted if detected - money laundering is not that rare, and in accounting/financial/company tax matters pretty much all mistakes (unless detected in pre-signing validation) are treated as punishable/fineable violations, not "correct your paperwork" matters. And as a company officer, there quite a few papers that you are required to sign where you may face jail if they're not true.

Also, seizing/freezing any money-laundering or tax-evasion related funds is common practice - first ensure that the money isn't going away, and then release it when/if all the violations are cleared.
Plus supposedly smaller problems can become in time much bigger ones. Basic for Atari was a small problem.
This is interesting enough but describing it as "a JavaScript cloud scripting language" just makes me think their marketing person is throwing the word "cloud" in at random points.
What makes you think they didn't care about the medical records? Because they weren't listed in the search warrant?

I wonder who gained access to this data after it was seized?

US only. Shocker.
US only whereas all their main competitors are available in more markets and have more features (from what I've seen through the I/O demo of the service). Definitely starting on the back foot.
That's fair. This does save one ugly, extra step that I didn't mention, which would be to call into the Objective-C runtime's C API [1] to dispatch messages and introspect Objective-C classes.

Should make it easier for developers to build their own middleware platform without getting too deep into reams of C boilerplate.

>You can call the ensuing distinctions "matters of convenience" and not "requiring different things", of course.

Or you can read the code and see that it is quite literally an abstraction layer built on the same tool, not two different tools. That is like saying folds and recursion require different tools, and providing "haskell has both recursion and folds" as proof. Of course it does, but folds are simply an abstraction on top of recursion.
Haxlr8r’s Second Demo Day
No, not before a round starts. For a concrete example, in starcraft all you normally do in the first minute is build up your worker supply and make 1-2 buildings, maybe send a scout. But you'll see players hitting hotkeys to view their base, no view over here, no view the base, now use the mouse to select all the workers, now do it again 7 times, now give this one ten move orders to the same spot as fast as you can click... They're not trying to get an action done faster, they're not even hitting keys that do anything, they're just constantly spamming input.
Blue Marble was a big inspiration here, and we’ve had fun comparing notes with some of the people who made it. Blue Marble is, however, ten years old, and has a number of (justifiable) limitations. You can get a sense of these if you zoom in on its depictions of, say, the Niger Delta, or the northern tip of Greenland.
Am I correct to think of this as a VBA for Google Apps?
I am excited for this. In my mind the importance of having a simple and targeted IDE can't be overstated. The best part of developing in C# or Objective C is Visual Studio and Xcode. Hopefully this does for Android development what those IDEs do for their respective platforms.

>As part of the account opening process, Wells Fargo required Karpeles and Mutum Sigillum LLC to complete a "Money Services Business (MSB) Accounts, Identification of an MSB Customer" form. That document was completed on May 20, 2011 and identified Mutum Sigillum LLC as a business not engaged in money services.

Were the FinCEN rules in effect on May 20, 2011? I see this on the "Guidance"[0] released in March (starting the "background" section):

>On July 21, 2011, FinCEN published a Final Rule amending definitions and other regulations relating to money services businesses ("MSBs").4 Among other things, the MSB Rule amends the definitions of dealers in foreign exchange (formerly referred to as "currency dealers and exchangers") and money transmitters.

Separately, since the guidance was issued, there seems to have been wide-spread confusion / misinterpretation. If they ignored it after this was issued, then they obviously were in violation, but before? How do ambiguous-interpretation cases get handled?

Earlier this year I wrote my first Android app using Eclipse. After finishing the project, I decided I hated Eclipse enough to not waste any more time on the platform. I don't really like the Java language either, it somehow feels 'old'. But recently discovered Xamarin[1] and later this year will try to write an Android app again, but this time in C# using Xamarin Studio. I think it's a great alternative for Eclipse, though I will definitely check out Android Studio as well, if it's going to be free.

> I see it every other day describing js libraries etc and now this. The technical stuff behind this is interesting and sort-of impressive but "beautiful" is going a bit far.

Is that really what's being described? I don't think anyone is discussing the libraries this is written on when they say, "Beautiful." They're talking about the actual maps, which are things you could print out and hang on the wall if you wanted to.
The lack of integration (and overall terrible UI) of Spotify is actually one of the key things to drive me from Android to Windows Phone for a subscription music service.

It's not perfect, but this makes me a little bit curious about Android again, maybe in 2 years I'll jump ship again but Microsoft has a pretty solid offering at this point and a sizable lead in the subscription music market.
I wonder how big their music catalog is, thats what really matters to me.
They should've released this since Google Music. I was surprised they released a service with such an "obsolete" business model of actually selling songs, like iTunes, last year, when they should be looking forward. But I guess there are still a lot of people who'd rather buy each song for $1 than pay $10 a month. Still, they should've launched both.

Now, where's the Netflix competitor? That should've arrived a long time ago, too. And what about a books subscription service? Are they still serious enough about Google Books to do that?

I don't know, it's just surprising to me that an "innovative" company like Google chooses to replicate decade old business models with their ever so slight take on it, instead of trying to come up with their own disruptive business models. They can't just enter in a market 5-10 years later with marginal improvements and expect to beat the leaders just because they are "big".

IntelliJ 12's Android support is vastly superior to Eclipse, in addition to being just a better Java IDE overall. I'm now very curious to know just how different Android Studio will be from IntelliJ.

I'd guess it's going to something akin to the difference between JetBrains' RubyMine and Ruby/Rails plugin support inside IntelliJ -- same overall functionality with better UX integration for the domain.
