They were more than likely licensed for it, it's only $24.95/month for business use (http://www.dmx.com/pandora/).
And maybe not even there =P
Can it be illegal without penalties? There are a few laws that forbid the public from doing things (riding electric scooters on the sidewalk) but don't have any penalties associated with the act. Nor do the police enforce them.

Plus I doubt the city could get sued for not cementing the place shut. Is the state of Florida sued for not fencing off the ocean every time someone swims out in the Atlantic and gets caught by rip tides and dies? It's reasonable to expect every citizen to avoid abandoned buildings and enter at their own risk.
Though horrible and garish, it's good to see the million dollar homepage still honouring his pledge.

I worked for one and it works very well. They build one of the most common electronic medical record systems plus a bunch of associated software. Any large client, in this case a hospital, hospital chain, or large ambulatory clinic, pays a $mm annual fee for the right to call and notify of a breaking bug and get engineers to issue a fix asap.
There are likely to be pretty reasonable Wordpress themes and plugins for most common use cases, though. For something responsive, really the default twentytwelve theme or Responsive I think are good bets. Every now and then though you come across something weird and have to write something custom for the functions file and you end up hating life because Wordpress has some byzantine crapfest way of doing things which should be simple (walkers, i'm looking at you.)

The real downside is security. The hardening wordpress[1] article is pretty good but I also found some decent tricks in the .htaccess file for the html5 boilerplate[2] that seem useful too. You end up having to install it, then fix it, which is never good.

Oh my goodness a anti PHP comment in a Facebook thread. Who would have guessed?

Facebook has some of the best engineers in the world. They also have their own modified version of PHP.

And really it doesn't what they use, they could use Lua and still have this issue. Don't think just because ebay used C++ or cgi or what ever they used doesn't mean ebay didn't ever have issues. Same goes for every other site/language out there.

The PHP hate is getting a little old.

I find Hotmail's password length terrible and its recovery process tedious.
Yuuuuup. People think FB is free of these problems because they have written some highly performant code and have a shit ton of money.
Nope, money doesnt cure laziness and definitely doesnt cure "it works so why fix it".

I had this exact same thought the other day, walking past groups of people sitting on the stoop, playing music out of their cars. It looked exactly like a field party, except it was in Manhattan.
Their taxpayer dollars? The ruins look considerably older than the attendees. Did they invent some kind of timewarp?

If going down there wasn't illegal they'd be able to have lighting, security, and other safety measures to make it even more safe.

'be able to have' != 'actually supply', not by a long shot.

I followed her back up to the hatch, where some Agents did their best to calm her down, but firmly reminded her that no one would be allowed to leave until the end. She seemed a little upset, but I saw her later and it seemed that she'd happily embraced the Stockholm syndrome.

I don't mind the trespassing so much, but activities without safe words aren't cool.

“How to properly plagiarize a quote”
Btw - should artists get more royalties? My answer is no. There's no royalty scale I know of at which a band that isn't able to make a ton of money other places could make even a LIVING on royalties. Artists are much better of building a tribe and having the tribe support them with clothing (shockingly easy to sell for a band that can move an audience emotionally), physical music, and donations (Kickstarter, passing the hat, etc.).

I understand the concept of being screwed, but it's just wrong. There's no business model where someone like Pandora could pay artists a meaningful amount (10x-1000x more depending on your definition of meaningful) and still grow to any scale that matters. So take the distribution and capitalize!
Android is the place where Google is doing this.
Want to use Android without Google? If you are anyone who is non-technical, you damn sure wont!
The royalties are paid to the rights owners (through organizations like ASCAP and BMI).

Whether you get paid for plays on FM as an artist, depends on if you own any rights to your music, and or what deal you've signed. The best thing you can do as an artist, is try to retain maximum ownership of your music, and make sure you get the best deal possible if you sign with a publisher.

Westergren is completely wrong about nothing going to the performers. First of all, the fact that some performers also own their music rights and are songwriters with royalty cuts, proves him wrong. Second, the cut that goes to the performer is determined by the contract they sign.
Its not if you think about it.

The 50+ people that attend the event have done nothing illegal (other than possibly trespass depending on where the party is and how they get there, and anything illegal they may do while they are at the location in question)

The event organizer who may or may not have endangered all their lives in various ways from fire hazards to toxic chemical exposure to food poisoning. They have done something most would call wrong and are rightly required to submit to the rule of law for the good of the people they may cause harm to and obtain permits proving that they have met certain standards we set to avoid letting people take advantage of the public.

I'll add that I think this may be in may locations burdensome and irritating, but it is important. In the same vein as building construction standards and health inspections in restaurants are important. I do wish it was less 'red tape' but its a matter of balance. Would be nice if the guests could simply sign a waiver, but where do we draw lines? I haven't sufficient ambition to be either a lawyer or politician that I wish to try drawing these lines. I only believe that their existence is important & I know where I feel they should sit.
alright, whatever I'll stop commenting
Agreed, but the vast majority of programming jobs don't require a theoretical computer science degree. It depends on what you're looking for.
Dear Atlantis,

Somebody has been reading "Pirate Cinema" (or perhaps Cory was just retelling this story in a fictional setting).

I tried for a while to generate interest in a 'no code' sort of limited liability contract which was literally signed with a drop of blood which said "No one is liable for anything that happens to me at this event" that was enforceable in court. Building collapses and 500 die? Oh well. Someone goes ape shit on acid and shoots people, tough. You slipped on some vomit and broke two vertebrae and now cant walk, sucks to be you dude.

The interesting bit for me has always been the contrast between people demanding that they should be allowed to throw parties like this, but then are unwilling to make themselves and no one else solely responsible for what happens.

Of all the things Cory did explore in his excellent book (mostly a screed on big content types) I wish he had tackled that one too.
Could be a misdirection. Put another way, perhaps Infinum copied Kintek and are attempting to win the perception war. Put yet another way, perhaps the infinum developer didn't tell the boss where he got the inspiration over six months.

Q&A with Greylock's David Sze: The $250MM Difference in Facebook’s Valuation
I think the people without the taste to use it properly are of the type to not understand the physics involved and therefore wouldn't be able to use it properly.

I'm not saying it won't be used wrongly, just look at [Write](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/write-for-dropbox-beautiful/...) for an example of a place where this'll be overdone to shit. But many of the UX people who intend to use dynamics stuff have probably had these ideas in their head or sketched out for quite a while.
I read it first when I was in my late teens. I read it again after the war on terror (tm) had started... let's just say it was the difference between reading a book about sex as a virgin and as a man. Books of that caliber, that are that short, are rare enough IMHO, and reading them every decade can't hurt? Anyway, you can't know if you get something new out of it unless you tried it at least once ;)

I think you're extrapolating your opinion to "most" people. Gmail is extremely popular, and while Docs is no Gmail, it has no serious competition for cloud-based editing.

Even if you're not using Gmail's webapp, it's an entire email infrastructure serving as the backend for Mail.app or Mailbox or whatever you use. At this point, if someone doesn't have their own mail server, they're probably using Gmail.
I came upon node around two years ago, wrote a little project to play with it, and encountered its streams. I wasn't prepared for how low-level their behavior was. It was almost like being inside the kernel, except with a veneer of Javascript. If you had a fairly large amount of data to write out, and you wrote it too rapidly with the expectation that the stream would buffer for you, it was easy to trigger pathological behavior. It appeared that each write() from the application triggered an immediate system call to write that data to the kernel. The call was nonblocking, so once the kernel buffer filled up, the kernel would start rejecting any more data. node would then apparently set a timer and keep retrying the syscall until all the data was gone. If you kept sending data too fast, huge numbers of pending I/Os would rapidly build up, and the system would eventually be getting hammered by syscalls as fast as node could send them, effectively crashing the app.

From a technical design standpoint, this behavior seemed to me like something you'd always have to be aware of, but, in practice, it didn't seem to be an issue with network I/O. The reason, I'm guessing, had to do with the nature of network I/O and the kind of traffic servers, especially node servers, face. Interactive low-latency applications would never send enough data downstream to trigger it. In other network applications, the random ebb and flow of network traffic would tend to mitigate it.

I haven't really kept up with node, so I don't know how the status might have changed in the past two years. It looks like with this new API they're trying to make streams easier overall, and that's good.

If you want to put in the for to doing some learning Drupal is a good. Its got a massive community. Its not as "plugin" friendly as WordPress and its more server side Dev friendly than WordPress. For my personal use I use Mezzanine which is a Django project. I picked it because its got a lot of solid basics that id need, is python based yet has the backing of Django community.

21-Year-Old Thiel Fellow Raises $3.8 Million For Figma
As a university student I'm surrounded by brilliant people, a lot of whom excel in academics. This has always been really frustrating for me.

I think the takeaway message I've learned from school, and in life, is that there will always be someone who is better than you at something. I'm always envious of my peers who are better at (X), and I forget that if I reflect on my own skills, I'll find (Y) that I can do better.

You'll likely never find someone who is better than you at EVERYTHING.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. I think there's a certain beauty in that, because by working together, we get the benefit of being good at X and Y. This is why cofounders who have complementing skill sets are so successful.

Find something you like, and just do it. Connect with people that do things you don't like to do or are not as good at. The rest will fall in place.

Solid advice all around. Most techies are scared of selling because they don't understand exactly what "sales" is. You're going to be awesome at sales precisely because you're not a stereotypical salesman.

Sales is getting out there, listening to customers' problems and then helping troubleshoot those problems. Sound like something an engineer might be good at? The "get money" thing is actually the easiest part. It comes naturally, almost as an afterthought, if the customer recognizes that you can genuinely solve a problem for him.

I partially agree with the first part of your comment. But I will add that as you progress in life, you encounter a different kind of complexity which has impacts on what you can do and and what you like. Things change. What was once fascinating no longer is. What you knew once is now obsolete and hence you have to sort of start again but at the same time you realize you are may be more risk averse than you used to be. Perhaps for the right reasons. In any case change is a constant in life and the crux of the question is how best to adopt it without obliterating your existing world.
I believe that will actually disable the syncing of that data entirely, which probably isn't what you want because some apps rely on that sync.

But nixme's command-line tip above works to specifically fix the annoyance of having save dialogs always start with iCloud, while still allowing you to have it sync all that data.
If you're curious to hear more perspectives on using RubyMotion in production, you might check out Clay Allsopp's blog posts (e.g. http://clayallsopp.com/posts/rubymotion-year-one/). His startup has been using RubyMotion for a while and he's written tutorial and a book for it as well.
I don't know what is or isn't public about the BEAST demo, but stand by my original point regarding the (unrelated) Lucky 13 and RC4 attacks. The RC4 attack takes, like, a day to run.
Yes, they are.

That, and the potential for tax evasion, of course.
I don't recall arguing otherwise. I completely agree.

You're making my point. Radio pays out significantly to music rights owners. In my case, about three fold greater than the profits generated since 1990. It's up to the artists to determine the contracts they sign with publishers, and the extent to which they own the rights to their music. That dictates how much they get paid for radio plays.

In general, money laundering is much a bigger problem than p2p drug sales.

Money laundering is anything that turns illegally acquired cash into seemingly legitimate funds. People do this because they are worried about the physical security aspects of having that much cash on hand, or would like to make a purchase where cash won't be accepted (eg house, car, stock).

I think real money laundering using bitcoin would be hard right now -- most current methods work by piggy backing on a real business, and just inflating earnings. (For example, you might buy a laundromat and then add +50% income from your dirty money, making it look legitimate to an auditor). As it stands now, after you'd transfered the illegal money, you'd still have some awkward questions about where you'd gotten it from if/when you get audited. (Perhaps someone with more experience can comment here, but it seems bad to me).

Re: illegal transactions, I think the biggest kind of illegal activity that bitcoin makes easier is illegal digital goods / services (eg, corporate espionage, buying bulk stolen credit cards, etc). This is because using bitcoin means you don't have to worry about masking your physical location or banking details from your counter party (basically the same reason people used liberty reserve before it was shut down).

I'm sure one day bitcoin will be used for larger scale money transfers, but right now it just wouldn't make sense to move cartel levels of cash (eg 100 million+/wk) through bitcoin -- that's just too high percentage of the network's total volume to be feasible

(mtgox volume is currently something like 20 million USD/wk)
I wonder if that law was part of the inspiration for breakcore? You'd be safe if the beats aren't actually repeating...
It's open to personal interpretation. There are certainly a number of varied factors that could be used, but to start out I figure letting the community up/down vote will determine a prevailing consensus on what makes a repo "similar."

As for me, my primary factor is: mutually exclusive usage. If I need to scrape some page and want to find a jQuery like parser for node I'll either use JSDom or Cheerio, but not both.
