The icons are on a 4x4 grid with 4 additional icons on a dock. There is a contrasting chrome bezel framing the glossy black front elevation of the device. On this elevation, the ear piece is positioned a few millimetres down from the top edge. At the bottom of the elevation their is a single large button that returns the user back to the principal screen. Which phone am I describing?

Last time I checked they didn't do ACH, and were doing basically what stripe released today.
Investigators are trying to shut down a black market economy that harms children, and going after the consumers in that economy is one effective strategy.

That's what we thought about drugs, too, and with drugs we could be confident that someone in possession of them either produced them or supported their production by paying for them. Consumers might be able to give you information about producers, and the threat of prosecution might induce them to do so... but that too is reasoning that failed us in the drug war.

> At the risk of some controversy, I think that if Go's core developers are serious about encouraging good software engineering, they should drop "go get" (presumably in Go 2).

That's how 'go get' works.

> Pedophiles are are a sociopathic rot, and should be treated as the worthless dangerous filth that they are. I'd feel worse stepping on a spider than I would putting a bullet in a child pornographer.

I think the biggest issue is that people see such a black and white division between "good" and "bad". Firstly, there's the fact that general scientific consensus is that paedophilia is not something they can control, all they can control is their urges. And then, those who do act on their urges, there are still many levels.

Consider...

- Paedophile who never acts on attraction to children
- Paedophile who looks at non-nude legal photos of children
- Paedophile who looks at cartoon child pornography
- Paedophile who looks at nude / suggestive child pornography
- Paedophile who looks at hard core child pornography
- Paedophile who makes nude / suggestive CP
- Paedophile who makes hard core CP
- Paedophile who has a relationship with a 15yo who consents
- Paedophile who has a relationship with a 15yo who doesn't consent
- Paedophile who has a relationship with a 6yo who consents (** SEE DISCLAIMER)
- Paedophile who has a relationship with a 6yo who doesn't consent

PLEASE note that I am not suggesting a 6yo can ever properly "consent", nor am I saying this relationship would ever be an OK thing. But I still presume that there's a difference between a young child who doesn't know any better, v.s a young child who is being forced to do something they hate.

So yes, I'm with you about child pornographers (well I wouldn't personally shoot them.. but no problem with strong laws against them), but I think there are many shades of paedophile, from "not their fault and they do nothing wrong" all the way down to "scum of the earth".

edit to respond to your edit: So you're happy drawing a straight line and place it between "done nothing" and "done something"? Does your moral code line up with the law? If so in which country? Are the following consensual relationships OK or not OK: 16+15, 16+14, 16+13, 18+15, 18+13, 21+15, 21+13, 40+15, 40+13....
Nor does any money transmitter.

You didn't answer the question.
I covered everything you brought up with this:

> Small companies don't necessarily need an IT department

You're bringing up examples of small companies not needing complexity. Sure. No disagreement there. But they don't have IT departments today either generally.

This article was asserting that IT departments as a whole are going away, and if you've spent any time in or around enterprise IT you should know this is bullshit for a million reasons.

And off-siting your stuff doesn't make it so that the CEO can manage it.

I'm painting with a broad brush :). The extremely negative and short-sighted attitude about Chinese knockoffs is (in my experience) most prevalent in 'western' countries: USA, Canada, UK, Western Europe. I have less contact with Eastern Europe, South America or Africa so I can't comment on their reactions.

Attitudes toward copying are very cultural. In China, it stems from pragmatism and a greater focus on the ends rather than the means (winning trumps winning well) whereas in the US--and West--winning is important, but so is "playing fair".
If they were using key reprogramming/hacking there's no reason to 'always use' the passenger side front door as claimed in the video. So I don't think it's clear that these thieves are using any of those techniques.

I imagine it might be stupider, like maybe there's a way to induce the unlock button or motor to trigger via induction or something. Though I'm pretty poorly informed about that kind of thing scientifically and am likely completely wrong.

Online, when someone writes "Christian", it's hard to tell whether they're referring to fundamentalists, or not.

I'm from Toronto (Canada), and it would be a bit weird for someone in my social group to just offer "I'm a Christian" except in response to "What's your religion?". It seems that in a lot of the US "I'm a Christian" is short-hand for "I'm a Christian Fundamentalist."
Clever name! I pressed "import" and it claims to be importing my feeds from Google Reader, even though I never gave it a password or feed or connected through Google. I wonder how that works...

There are two good correct equivalent ways to think of the determinant of varying generality. One is as the function from a ring of square matrices to the underlying field (e.g. from R^(n^2) -> R) that sends identity to identity, is alternating (swapping two rows or columns negates the function) and is multilinear (is a linear function in each of the columns independently). These properties are all useful and important on their own, so there is motivation to study a function which has all of them. It's not obvious that such a function exists, but you can prove that. As it turns out, these three properties uniquely determine such a function, which makes it seem like that function might be really important!

There's a more general definition too, which is based around the wedge product, a quintessential object in algebra and calculus. There's a good exposition here: http://codeblank.com/~int/det.pdf .
> The vast majority of people don't find children sexually attractive.

Then why are there so many underage fashion models and pop stars? Why is leering at underage girls so often a theme in TV series? Just yesterday, I saw an episode of Seinfeld in which Jerry and George couldn’t stop looking at the cleavage of a 15 year old girl.[1] Also, who has seen Blue Lagoon and can honestly say they didn’t fall in love with Brooke Shields?

That's how I've been using Tagg, a competing (and much uglier) device. It lets me know when the walker takes my dogs out, how much exercise they got and where they went. Plus I get the peace of mind that I can trigger a Lost My Phone kind of feature if they ever got lost.
That is my hope. I see a big practical use for airplanes like ours in the future for long work commutes. People already drive 2 hours through traffic in some cases to make it to work, just to keep their family in a nice neighborhood. Commuter airplanes would allow people to live basically wherever they wanted and still get to work in a reasonable time. This would require a significant change in infrastructure, but the popularity of an affordable airplane would have to come before that anyways (think Model T to Eisenhower Interstate System).

For me, there is no doubt in my mind that a shift towards more affordable flying is going to happen. If a small startup like us is able to put out a plane as nice as ours for its price, clearly the forces keeping planes expensive are not insurmountable.
You are right about writing an editor. I only thought about the eternal discussion about what's better: escape-jkl;-i or shift-alt-meta-coke bottle.

And yes, that blue book on garbage collection is worth reading; it's on my bookshelf, too. I'm still looking for something similar on text editors or spreadsheets.

yeah, but the customer didn't want the money, they wanted the service. That's why they gave the money in the first place.

Obviously it's a very good showing that 37S is refunding customers their money, but I wouldn't be completely happy if I were a customer since what I was promised (the service) is no longer being delivered. I would feel a little burned.

Do this often enough, and customer trust is eroded. How many folks are going to think twice before signing up for 37S next new product? I would.
Hey there, good questions! I'm a developer in Toronto, Canada and I love to ride bikes and write code. I work at a place called Unspace (http://unspace.ca/team), I'm the third one down (Jamie Gilgen).

Yoleo is a self funded project. I would like to keep it that way if I can. That's why donations are very welcome. I do however offer Yoleo up for free for those who are unable to pay. Yoleo is written in Ember, and is backed by Rails.

I'm really into Ember, and helped out out by teaching a portion of the most recent Embergarten (http://unspace.ca/embergarten/) here in Toronto.

The import is a simple one click import, I've directly integrated with Googles Reader API.

You should use it....because it's good?

Hope that helps!
Good show for honesty.
This looks pretty fantastic. I've been searching for a good browser option outside of Feedly, which just doesn't do it for me. I agree that more information about the product and the people behind it would be nice, however, I'm still eagerly signing up when I get a chance today. :)
More companies aren't like Amazon because they want to make a profit. Amazon operates at cutthroat margins, as if it were still a startup sacrificing profitability to grab market share. Once most companies own a solid chunk of the market, their concern shifts from outcompeting everyone else on price to outcompeting everyone else in other areas and fattening their margins in the process.

Amazon is the outlier because Bezos is still in charge, and he's playing the long, long game.
I agree with the general premise that pay2win is annoying as hell.

I think it's hard for a lot of kinds of games to fall back to the traditional model when they're competing against other similar games that are free to play on the surface, but pay to win underneath. Free to play gets people hooked. There's a reason why game developers are doing this, unfortunately, because it works :(

As a stingy bastard I just have to resign myself to finding games that don't give you overwhelming bonuses for fistfuls of cash, and just suck it up for the beginning.

As an aside to your tribes example:

Tribes:Ascend is probably not a good example of this, but for a slightly unique reason. It's not really pay2win, it's still sinklotsofotime2win. Only because it has such a bullshit high difficulty curve that you need to play an inordinate amount of time into the game to be able to do anything, regardless of whether or not you're paying money. By the time you figure out how to move, shoot, and play a single useful role (which is a colossally difficult task), you'll have gotten enough in-game xp to build up enough that buying gold is pointless.

If you were looking forward to Tribes:Ascend, go for it. Don't let people complaining on forums turn you away - people will always complain on the forums, no matter what the game is. Tribes is one of the few games I've played where it's fun to just run circles around the map:

DeveloperAuction Expanding to Designers, Offering Free Intern Placement
You could do a limited-time free play game. That's what Order and Chaos did long time ago, but since then they switched to in-game store. Maybe it's not that profitable... I don't know. But I can definitely say it was free for (IIRC) a month and was fun enough that I paid the monthly to continue playing.

I came back to it after ~a year and it seems like you can buy lots of items, but they're not really required. The economy is completely messed up on all servers, but that was the case when I started already.

I think the spammers are trying to pollute the (publicly) available text corpus with markov-chains (or similiar stuff). My guess is the intention is to get ranking of search results near the top places. How? Well, it's on github (credible site) doesn't have links (not spam) so a corpus like this probably isn't spam elsewhere.

Of course "elsewhere" there are links in the text. But now the ranking is better and more likely to be found. So in the end it's a win for the spam blogs because now they get more hits/traffic.
That seems to be the implication of the new CardDAV API.
I originally thought the same too, but found that it is in Beta. http://blog.balancedpayments.com/balanced-payment-method-pay...
This sort of econ101 argument that MR=MC in a fully competitive market forgets that such a simple model also must allow for consumer surplus to equal supplier surplus, and that they must necessarily also be zero. In that case, all transactions have zero net benefit for all parties involved, and you might as well not have any transactions.
Great list!

I'm holding off to see what the 'Digg Reader' has to offer before making a final decision.

Looks like it's going to be Feedly though. I was pretty much sold when I heard that Reeder (iOS) and GReader (Android) will both sync with it.
If they were using key reprogramming/hacking there's no reason to 'always use' the passenger side front door as claimed in the video.

It's a fair point, but I don't know that I'd take that at face value. That could have just been a subjective assessment that got repeated as fact. Without us having access to the actual videos or the raw numbers, it's hard to say.

So I don't think it's clear that these thieves are using any of those techniques.

Sure, and I'm not saying it's 100% certain that this is exactly how the thieves are operating.. just pointing out that it's well known that modern cars are vulnerable... if there are additional, as yet unreported vulnerabilities, would anybody be surprised?

I imagine it might be stupider, like maybe there's a way to induce the unlock button to trigger via induction or something.

That actually strikes me as semi-reasonable, without having research the matter in any depth. Where were you on the night of January 12th, when a black Suburban was stolen ...
I would question the notion that self-volunteered information is more accurate. It's easy to "like" or "follow" something. It's quite another to buy it or make search queries that seem to lead to a purchasing decision. Which data is better for advertising?
Little by little, prepaid and per use phone plans are becoming more popular. I'm surprised it's taken this long, but eventually people will catch on and realize they don't need to pay $100/month for a smartphone plan.

They sit in the Stripe/Wells Fargo account exactly like any other transfer. You can't do credit card directly to ACH.
This is one pretty pathetic misrepresentation. Only a kid could call this toy "car" a robot.
I assume the author of the announcement wrote the example code with the longshot hope that some Stripe users would say, "Hey, I guess I'll send Amber Feng three thousand bucks, just to see if this works." Takeaway point: always write code examples in such a way that a straight copy-and-paste might send you a lot of money.
If you hear people saying that Google closed CalDAV (an open standard for calendar info), please point them to the blog post at http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2013/06/making-googles-... to let them know CalDAV is remaining open and that Google is opening up CardDAV access (used for contact info) to everyone too. I'm glad that Google is doing this.

Reminds me somehow the story of my friend, convicted killer.

His ex got pregnant and he did not want the child but she did not want to abort. You talking about state where abortion was legal for many years (side issue to many including me its immoral). So he was at the party with bunch of friends drunk. One of his friend asked him about her and they start talking. My friend was drunk and angry and said to him: "damn I wish someone would just punch her in the stomach that would solve my problem". I know him long enough to know he wasnt serious but he was drunk and upset and let's be honest -- who has never wished another person bad in their mind or outspoken while drunk? Next morning he got cops knocking at his door. Long story short -- because of his friend testimony and his ex testimony that she "is afraid of him", he is sentenced for more than 10 years for a solicitation of 1st degree murder. A decent good guy with nothing on his record. Its been 20 years ago and he was released after couple years for well behave and never broke the law again, but honestly shake someone's hand and tell them: hey, I am ex-con convicted of 1st degree murder, nice to meet you.
Then you make it less likely that they will consider offering the service in the first place.

Sometimes things just don't make business sense and you kill them.
I have killed stuff in the past that has literally had 1 user , it wouldn't seem sensible at all to keep it running simply for that one person (unless they were paying me significantly).

The best way to judge a company in my opinion is how they handle it when they do. In this case distribution to customers was minimized.
