The quick add feed functionality is annoying because it requires that my cursor stay in the box horizontally until I hit "Add Feed" after the "Add Feed url" textbox pops up. So I have to play maze to get there. (I don't mind, just pointing this out).

Also the "add feed" button in "discover" and "my feeds" doesn't seem to like me, I click it and nothing happens. However the "quick add" bar up top does (with the maze caveat, see prev. paragraph).

Edited to Add: Also does it not play nice with some FeedBurner RSS? I am attempting to add (I made an account, this seems nice guys!) "http://feeds.feedburner.com/schneier/fulltext, but it won't take it.
In a less ethically bankrupt legal profession that I'm imagining, there's a thing called a Bar. The Bar has an ethics board, and they immediately take notice of goings-on like this troll's tactics. They quickly strip him of his authority to practice law, because his behavior is wantonly unethical (though technically legal), and it's disastrous to the reputation of the entire legal profession. (Also, in this hypothetical world, the legal profession cares about it's reputation.)
Don't forget 4) they can leave the market. It's not something they are forced to do in anyway, it is a voluntary choice to continue serving that market.

i'm working on a "iron man" suit that really works. It's easy to do performances where I talk to "Jarvis". He's really been programed to be an actor who plays Jarvis and that's good enough.
I am basing my expectations on the pricing on XBox Live. The XBLA stuff fluctuates and there's been a couple of sales (got El Shaddai for ~2$ so I know it's non-zero), but mostly everything stays pretty high relative to what the market can bear. If they change behavior, so be it, but let the record show it's not groundless speculation; the digital download market for Xbox 360 has been around a while.
There is so much SEO information and misinformation out there, I don't think "common sense" isn't a useful way to look at the industry.

I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but I've seen this type of question many times and the subtext often suggests that a need alone isn't enough to justify an industry. It's a service, and one many people would rather pay for than spend their time learning and doing.
Those are combinations of things. Greek yoghurt is a method of making yoghurt (and the resulting product), like Feta cheese, for example.
Can anyone get this to compile and run?

Does anyone know what hardware the assembly language files are for?

Maybe you could produce a modified version with the archaic features removed, compile it with a modern compiler, then use the binary produced to compile an unmodified version. Or maybe there are still binaries of really old compilers that can understand this code floating around out there.

Any ideas?

I'm glad you brought that up. Sweetened yogurt is one of the worst pseudo health foods on the market. Chobani's strawberry has 20 gm of sugar (4.76 tsp), and Yoplait is worse at 33 gm (7.86 tsp). That's a butt-load of sugar for such a small container.

It's not just web sites that do this. When you open the Twitter client on Android, for example, it'll go to the top of your feed instead of to the tweet that you read last, forcing you to scroll down, reading tweets until you find one that you've seen before.
It appears Groveshark has some poor coding practices.

It appears that Groveshark innacuraltley filed a DMCA.

However it appears that the orriginal poster is in violation of DMCA, for DRM Violations. The DMCA provides groveshark protection against your "API" which is actually a way to circumvent grovesharks DRM.

While Groveshark didn't state this in the orriginal DMCA, they can file another and have you taken down for correct issues.

Your "API" does violate copyright law.

(I'm one of the guys that was talking with you in that link)

To be clear, I think that vendors make their services "backdoorable" because they want to extract revenue from them and attract consumers. Once they have the capability, the government can then capable of compelling them to comply. I don't think the government is compelling them to build the capability in the first place.

To use a concrete example, Bitlocker is presumably not backdoored by Microsoft and I don't believe that the government has any (public) laws that would allow them to compel Microsoft to modify Bitlocker in such a way. Microsoft's refusal to backdoor Bitlocker could not get them into any sort of official trouble. If Microsoft had Bitlocker backdoored already for whatever reason (say, customer service data recovery), then the government could compel them to comply them to unlock drives.

I don't think we really disagree on anything substantial.
Don't they have to decode the HDCP stream anyway? Just getting basic scaling to work would require access to the raw pixel data, right?
Secretary problem
The 1999 ISO C standard dropped the "implicit int" rule, so this:

main(argc, argv)
char *argv[];
{
/* ... */
}

is illegal (strictly speaking, it's a "constraint violation"). Note that it's

char *argv[]

not

int argv[]

But this:

int main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
/* ... */
}

is still perfectly valid.

As for this:

int main(int argc, unsigned long long argv[]) {
char *firstarg = (void *)(argv[1]);
printf("%s", firstarg);
}

it's not a constraint violation, but its behavior is undefined (unless your compiler specifically supports and documents that particular form as an extension).
Read up on the "Model Cities Program" and I think you'll see what I was talking about, even in regards to automation.

In terms of if GM had gone bankrupt, I think any supplier that was competitive at the time would still be here today. They may be supplying their goods to a different manufacture along with some other hardships, but companies that are competitive and in control of their workforce can make those changes when the time comes.
> I handle developer relations.

Your tweet[1] says you don't know if anyone reached out to them. Another tweet[2] sure makes it sound like this is a technical issue of how they're doing something, rather than what they're doing.

If you "handle developer relations", why weren't you involved before the notice was sent? Why didn't you reach out to the developers before your lawyers reached out to github?

This does not sound like "handling developer relations".

Well, I feel like most of these hardware sites have pretty meaty pages so it's not terrible that they split up their articles, as otherwise they'd be very long pages. Especially Anandtech, some of their reviews are 15-20 pages long - I wouldn't want to read that in one go. Though sometimes I just stick their articles in Pocket and read it that way on my phone, so maybe I'm just rationalizing a practice that I've just grown accustomed to over the years.

All of them _are_ "common sense" - in the same way that most invocations of the term "common sense" usually mean "things that people know or ought to know but are apparently ignoring.

This article is complete bullshit.

It presents the issue as if it's a sudden surprise problem, when in fact there are established markets for whey and whey derivatives. The global market for whey protein is worth $3.8bn. To call whey (even relatively poor quality whey) "waste" is ludicrous - it's a byproduct with an established commercial value. Acid whey requires more processing than sweet whey, but it's an established and well-understood problem for the dairy industry.

The problem for the yoghurt producer is simply that liquid whey is right at the bottom of the value chain - it requires a great deal of processing to become $8/kg whey protein concentrate or $12/kg whey protein isolate. Yoghurt manufacturers may be extremely keen to move up the value chain and extract more profit from their whey byproducts, but there's no great market failure occurring here.

I think his overall point is valid.

I am not a Facebook user, or a heavy user of any social networks or sites, but several days ago I joined a 2nd level discussion on Reddit with a one sentence post, and wiki url, about a shipwreck that was slightly relevant to the discussion. I received about a dozen up-votes for this post.

After reading this article I went to Wikipedia to check their article view stats. I was slightly surprised to see that on the day I posted, the page view stats for the wiki article went from a usual 300 page views, to 1500 for that day only.

So even though I did not create any new content, I did perhaps influence 1200 or so people to spend a little time thinking about a shipwreck that I was thinking about, with a single sentence.

It's also this way in Cambridge, MA. And probably other places where there's more demand for highly-skilled developers than there are candidates. Maybe in smaller cities that are trying to bootstrap a startup scene.

Dart: a New Web Programming Experience | Linux Journal
I don't know if I would consider HDMI passthrough as an ace in the hole... I mean I get how it would be cool to be able to overlay your cable box output on the screen, but this also implies that you would have to have your Xbox on every time you wanted to watch television.

Unless, of course, the pass through works when the device is turned off... However, I haven't heard any mention yet that it does (does anyone know if it will support this?).

And plus, if you had any other multimedia devices (e.g. a Blu-ray player), wouldn't you still need to use the other inputs on the television anyways?

So you'd be happy that the government establishes their own rules by themselves about when they spy on your data? Rules shouldn't be made BY the government in the first place, since they have a vested interest in watching over everything we do.

Which really doesn't seem like that big a deal for a farm or large factory -- it's a 100m x 150m pad. Presumably you could keep it sanitary by using plastic sheeting over a concrete pad.
You can get any email for a developer from their commits in the json api...companies like Entelo & TalentBin have discovered this a long time ago and appear to be reselling them to recruiters for about $500 a month. If you have seen an uptick in recruiter spam lately, now you know why.

What is interesting is I believe its illegal (can-spam) to email someone if you harvested their email programmatically...but seems to be a clever hack around the law for a company to sell off a harvested emails to be emailed by someone else.

Actually, I think the heat of vaporisation is more than the energy to heat the water to boiling: 2.26 MJ/kg, which takes us to ~4TJ/day.

The 1000W solar radiation is also for the sun directly overhead without clouds, which obviously can't happen for 12 hours a day. I've found a source saying Bangkok gets something like 20MJ/m^2/day, and higher latitudes presumably have less. With those figures we're at 200000m^2 of evaporation area, and it's still optimistic (what about rain?).
Honestly I don't see much difference. Roughly the same (powerless) hardware based on AMD APU crap, which means that any mid-range gaming PC will be leaving these consoles in the dust right at launch.

The fact that these consoles have PC-like hardware make the market ripe for disruption: Now any company, like Valve and their potential steambox, can come and put a cheap AMD APU based box on the market and let publishers publish the very same games that they publish on the PS4 and Xbox One. Of course this means you will not get access to exclusive games from Sony or Microsoft, but that's been proven to be a very small amount of games every year (less than 5%).

It may be a new come-back for the PC in the living room.

The presence of lactose made me curious as to whether all this whey could be used in ethanol production. It would help reduce the need for corn ethanol while taking care of this problem. Curiously, this possible solution wasn't mentioned in the article at all.

Here is a white paper describing a fermentation process (pretty standard ethanol production, from the looks of it). http://nzic.org.nz/ChemProcesses/dairy/3H.pdf

I use Google Code because it has a functioning issue tracker (try setting a priority at GitHub and sorting by it), and because you can have multiple repositories per project. The latter is very helpful as it lets you have one issue tracker, wiki, downloads etc for the project but still have things organised better behind the scenes.

Other services like Github could do the multiple repository thing too. In fact they already all do - having one main repository and a second for the wiki. Github said there is no way they would add this functionality when I asked.

Losing Downloads from Google Code is a big pain. That they never made a paid for private version is also annoying.

Is the takedown, being knowingly false and implying illegal behavior, defamatory?
Thanks for the advice, Marketing has been quite a struggle for us and I started working on a landing page that integrates some of your points. However, we got high differentiation points with Pulse, Zite & Co.

3 points:
- Contrary to our competitors our users mainly get their news by filtering curated stuff from their existing social networks. Let's say you have selected 'Baseball' as a topic filter, and your FB friend shares an article on 'Soccer', well you won't see it. Basically, you can filter all the stuff your friends shares on your social networks (or Risely) and only see the stuff from topics you have selected. The effect is really good with Twitter, where I follow people that are known experts in their field but often curates stuff I don’t care about. That’s a very different approach than Zite where they suggest you stories, or Pulse where you directly follow certain blogs.

- Second, Risely is curation platform but also a social network with built-in popularity mechanism. The more your curations generates interactions, the more you become popular and recognized: you get to be featured in “Topic boards” but one of the most radical effect is that it directly influences the layout of the stories you share to your followers. They get bigger, and thus you get more chance of being read.

- Third, you will be able to make money based on a revenue sharing program. How it works is that we provide some information on terms of the article you are reading. For e.g. if we detect a link to a product from one of our partners, we show you some information about it (small image, price, title, brand). If you click on it you are of course redirected to the merchant. How it comes to play is that if you share this article to your followers, and you make a lead, you will get a cut out of it. And if one of your followers shares it, and makes a lead, you still get a cut. We are extending that to “Personalities”, Places etc… This feature is limited for the moment, because we don’t have many partnerships.
Anyone who claims a nipple is an intuitive interface hasn't had to assist a newborn infant suckle an exhausted new mother.
From checking into this more -- one of the other issues is tax treatment (at least in the US). It's favorable to give employees free food/drinks at work. If you're giving people stuff to take home, it potentially becomes a taxable benefit. Feeding people for benefit of employer outside work is partially taxable. So, even if you had a tacit understanding with employees of "we buy soda in huge quantities, so take as much as you want home, and we'll just reduce salaries by approximately the amount taken home", you'd have a problem. (which is absurd for soda, but I'd be fine with making $2-5k/yr less if I got to fill up my car at a work-provided gas pump, which is analogous).
