You'd hear it depending on the formality of the piece, I think. Maybe there is a gender bias, but I've definitely read those persons' first names, especially in less formal writing (and Tumblr has a relationship with Yahoo! and Marissa after all).

One of my biggest challenges has been finding the right way to describe Docker, because it borrows properties from multiple categories: virtualization tools, package managers, build tools, process managers, and even operating systems :)

People have told me they use Docker as a "vmware alternative", a "make alternative", a "rpm alternative", a "vagrant alternative" and even a "tomcat alternative". But people also use Docker together with all of these tools!

In that way Docker reminds me of Redis: depending on what you want to do, you could use it as a replacement for memcache, rabbitmq, couchdb, mysql or even zeromq. But you could also use it together with all of these tools. Over time we're getting more comfortable with the fact that Redis might just be a tool of its own - useful in its own unique way, in combination with whatever other tool is best for the job at hand.

... but none of that matters if nobody uses it, and to get people to use software you need catchy titles like "better than VMs" :)

It really is. I'm wondering if there may be another American epidemic at play here as well, which is the "it's cool to be stupid" phenomenon.

Would be interesting to see a recursive descent (probably wrong term, my swedish is getting in the way) of this; Twitter uses Pingdom, now I want to click on Pingdom to see what they use.

Also, a graph with dependencies between these companies would be cool to see. Security companies might want to give the node with most edges a call or two.

Just as a rule of thumb, in general the most important assumption that is violated is independence. If the data is not independent and is instead positively correlated (the most likely form of correlation in practice) most equations will overestimate statistical significance.

A small amount of correlation can lead to very biased estimates of significance.

Correlation between observations will generally appear in any time series data or data that is arranged spatially.

Again, just a rule of thumb, but you should be very wary of the lack of independence between observations.

I am genuinely confused about something because my realization does not coincide with my previous held beliefs. So I would appreciate if someone else could validate or make a good argument for why I am wrong.

These companies, especially the biggest ones and the ones that are acquired by them; they all seem to have one thing in common. They are all not at all about what they built, but, once you control for the variables, what you are left with is that it all comes down to users. These acquisitions have zero interest in the "product" as it is rarely unique or even innovative (image filters, "micro"-blogging, task management, etc.); it is all about acquiring the users.

Is there anything that could point to these and most other acquisitions not being solely about the users. I find it hard to believe that Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc couldn't build what are, essentially, usually, rather simple technologies.

It seems like it all comes down to the human factor and that changing versus creating new habits is rather difficult and costly, i.e., more than $1 billion dollars costly.

Sorry for the redundancy. I had to throw it together while being interrupted with work. Damn work.
I realise you might hate unity, but I just wanted to make clear, some people (me) like it!

I've tried plain gnome 3, latest kde, xmonad and xfce, and out of all of them have decided I like unity the best. The combination of:

* Press win key + type 'th' gets thunderbird selected, win key + 'ch' gets chrome gives me quick access to all my apps.

* I like a dock with fixed icons in fixed positions, so I can open an app, or get open windows, with 'mouse memory'.

I found the other window managers I tried very poor in their default configuration. Maybe I could configure them to act better, or more like I want? But I don't want to spend the time (I did spend a couple of days trying xmonad, before giving up, I really wanted to like it but it seems purposefully designed to be painful to configure)
Step 1) Do the dumbest possible thing that will solve your current problem. Try to explain it clearly so that other people will understand what you did and why, but don't spend effort on being clever.

Step 2) Assess whether this is good enough, if so, move on to the next problem. If not, think hard and do something smarter.
While I normally applaud the asking for sources, when the main article has both base data as well as linked blogs, some expectation of honest attempt of self-research is expected. However, here is some short number of links. More could probably be found if I was really digging.

If one want the relative short version, check out the blog post (http://qnrq.se/sweden-kidnapped-anakata/) or torrentfreak post (https://torrentfreak.com/sweden-kidnapped-my-friend-pirate-b...) about that blog post.

For each separate point:

use of counter-terrorism resources: http://www.ibtimes.com/pirate-bay-founder-gottfrid-svartholm...

strictly solitary: http://nyheter24.se/nyheter/internet/730683-pirate-bay-grund....

I would add that sweden do not have solitary treatment as an separate thing. It has 'häkte' with additional restrictions. In this case, the additional restrictions meant no talking to other prisoners. One hour per day of rest outside the cell, but strictly alone. One hour of visitation for the family per week, through only if the police had time. If that can be translated to the US version of solitary confinement is up to the reader to decide.

lies to the media and mother:
(http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/382964/20120911/gottfrid-s...) and (http://nyheter24.se/nyheter/internet/727383-pirate-bay-grund...).

They initially claimed that he was deported because of a revoked passport. Once in Sweden, they changed their tune. Saying something in false pretense, then changing it once the circumstances is more favorable is the definition of a lie.

denying lawyer access:
See above link. Covers that too there. Check the linked blog article, and see statements from the mother. Want links for that too? An other source: (http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/svartholm-warg-anhallen-for...)

Last, I would like to add that this is likely not to effect the trial. Swedish law do not address those kind of circumstances when determining guilt. If Gottfrid Svartholm lawyers brings it up, it could be an argument for lowering any sentence but other than that, its unlikely to be even brought up.

A good example is going to be the upgrade process from 2.x to 3.x.

If you have been developing your site with Bootstrap to-date, then you've very likely been using their style classes throughout. For example, if you setup a grid on a page, perhaps you did something like this:

<div id="home" class="row">
<div id="content" class="span10">&nbsp;</div>
<div id="sidebar" class="span2">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

But with Bootstrap 3.x you'll need to change every instance of span* with col-span-*. Wouldn't it be nice if, instead of changing all of your templates, you could simply modify the LESS/CSS files using mixins?

Upgrading is just one example, another example is attempting to use Bootstrap to style an existing application where you do not have the ability (or only a limited ability) to change the HTML, but only the ability to inject a CSS "theme".
I came here just to post this. Then I noticed that you already mentioned it. The JOBS act is new, and companies aren't taking advantage of it yet. It was only passed a month ago after all...

That said, how do Co-ops work? As well as companies like REI or Vanguard? Purchasing an REI membership makes you a holder of the company, and same thing with Vanguard funds... or many credit unions. Is there a reason why the JOBS act was needed when customer-owned businesses already existed?

Users by themselves aren't valuable but the ability to monetize them is. Whether it's by selling them products or by showing them advertisements. The bigger companies have better infrastructure in place to be able to monetize users and I think Yahoo just thinks they'll be able to monetize the Tumblr users and recoup their investment that way.

It helps that the Tumblr demographic is most likely different from Yahoo's - although that may hurt them when trying to monetize since a different approach may be required. We'll see what happens.

arguing by assertion doesn't make it true. You are referring to the caloric balance hypothesis, and it is sad that you guys are downvoting me for calling it in to question. It has not been experimentally verified.

I think it almost certainly has to be David Karp. This should be an insane and guaranteed payday for him.

Marco Arment hasn't had anything to do with Tumblr in years. He might hold some equity as a result of his time there, especially since he was there at the very beginning, but certainly not more equity than Karp.

Mayer/Yahoo has a long way to go to prove that this was a smart idea. Two years from now they might be the biggest winners, but they're also taking on all the risk at this point.

And as for the investors, this should be a big win for them (although I don't know how much they invested, so hard to say how big of a win), but they are investment firms who have to spread the profits around, opposed to Karp, who is one guy who just got a huge check.
Blazing fast WordPress with Nginx and Memcached
My 4yo daughter can set the foreground and background colors in emacs on her own (the commands are written out in her notebook, but not in any particular order). We were both really proud the first time she pulled it off.

a text editor with bright colors and large fonts is thousands of times better than magnetic letters.
Humans, is the answer. We are a very conniving, deceptive, self-delusional, self-destructive beast. I theorize that it is due to the nature of European mores dominating and setting the tone first, globally; but, essentially, it comes down to the psychopaths controlling the rational, reasonable, good, people because the system supports encourages, and even rewards devious behavior while sabotaging, discouraging, and even penalizing good traits and behaviors.

As long as exploitation is so heavily rewarded and the real consequences are so remote and minuscule; it will not change.

The way the reward, incentive, and penalty structure is set up currently; you have to be an unprincipled personality to operate in that space.
The thing is, it's pretty hard for an ordinary person to buy a share of a company. You usually need to be able to buy a large quantity of shares, pay for a trading account, try not to get ripped off with various fees, and deal with taxes.

This is FUD. You can easily buy one share if you want to. You don't pay to open a trading account. The fees are about as transparent as they could possibly be. And the taxes are not much more complicated than normal income taxes -- if you hold for less than a year your profits are taxed at the marginal rate and if you hold for longer than that you are taxed at the long term capital gains rate.

I'm not saying it's a good idea to buy one share of a $25 stock. It's not. But modern retail trading is accessible to pretty much anyone these days.
Einstein's genius wasn't genesis nor synthesis. His genius was hard work.

Georg Riemann lived in Germany from 1826 until 1866. He was Gauss' last and most famous student. To finish his doctoral degree, in 1854 Riemann was required to give a lecture. Gauss asked him to lecture on geometry. In this single lecture, Riemann laid almost all of the mathematical foundation for Einstein's General Relativity. Riemann went on to become an important mathematician, but did little work on curved spaces after this one lecture.

Einstein took 8 years in a boring patent office to understand what Riemann did in a lazy afternoon.

CentOS/Scientific Linux/Springdale Linux 6.x provide an approximation to Ubuntu 10.04 including Gnome 2.x. Support until 2020.

Those nice people at Mint Linux are developing an alternative desktop UI.

Idea: Perhaps someone needs to register 'idontlikeunity.org' or something. Then we can just link to the site with simple alternatives and keep the noise down.

PS: I use Unity/12.04 on the desktop. Quite happy with it as I tend to use the ALT-letter keys for menus anyway.

Nice work! This looks quite useful. I'm definitely going to check it out. Big plus for having it on maven central.

I have a more general question -- where do I go to find more stuff like this? Do you also announce new versions somewhere with more of a focus on Android development?

I started doing more serious Android work about two months ago, and finding libraries has been more challenging than I expected. Through Stack Overflow comments, random conversations, and stumbling through things like Square's Github page I've managed to locate a handful of libraries that make development much better. It'd be great to know where this information lives, though.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I see a few issues with this approach:
1. You can't track the number of unique visitors anymore
2. I will lose the data history I have now with GA. I am actually not sure that it is incorrect, I just am suspect at this point and need validation. If it is indeed correct then I don't want a break in the data.

But, something to think about, so thanks.

Wordpress founder: users abandoning Tumblr b/c of Yahoo deal
Could probably ensure it fits in the window nicely though, with zooming etc. Seeing only the North-West of London on screen without scrolling is not as useful. I'd imagine it's damn hard to use on a laptop without two direction scrolling. Functional over pretty, I vote :)
This is not a good analysis. Tumblr has a demographic access that yahoo doesn't. Yahoo can generate ad revenues due to scale that Tumblr couldn't. Karp adds a perspective that Yahoo needs.

It's unclear whether the acquisition will be a success, but if it is a success the article's reasons will be irrelevant. If it isn't a success, those will not be the reasons why it failed.
Ripple, the First True Decentralized Exchange for Bitcoin and any Currency
Totally agree. However every single time I've tried to editorialize a title like this one to make it better the mods have changed it back to the page's title. I imagine a lot of people have given up on even trying to make informative titles. It's the worst part about this forum in my opinion.
Nope, I am not sure, so thanks for the input. The numbers are 60-70% different for us between Quantcast and GA, so I don't think opera mini would make up anywhere near that difference.

And, are you sure it isn't dropping data? I mean, really sure?
I would also add that many companies let you bypass fees and directly buy there stocks. Which can save you significant amounts of money if you want to say buy a few shares every paycheck.
