Not to mention that if you are head of the worlds most powerful intelligence agency, how much does courage even have to come into play?
I'm not sure I agree... While it's certainly true that to create the same thing that Carmack did would be a lot easier today. Working on Carmack level code remains very difficult to this day. It's just that the bar has moved.

Sure, a simple ray-caster isn't going to need a lot of optimization today. But when you are dealing with the sort of data that is now common. Optimization can be just as important.

While languages have have improved for the better, other things have created other challenges. Consider the PS3 Cell architecture. Considered to be a much more difficult architecture to program for than the processors of Doom's day.
the real question is what now happens to all the people who were responsible in getting the false confessions?

I hate to say it, but if history repeats itself, the people responsible will either never face persecution or get a slap on the wrist.
It's not just americans either -in some parts of southern europe and middle east, it's not only used, it's overused. Also, its use is more pronounced among some populations but less amongst others in the US.

And, as you mention, in hotter climes and where people do manual labor and take public transportation it is very noticeable if people opt not to use deodorant. It's like entering a stable on a hot day.
Again, I am not looking to improve the internet access situation. I do like the idea of caching stuff for offline access. Are there any tools or services for doing something like this or would I have to come up with some custom solutions?
Yes this is very true. Claiming that Bergwall (=Quick) was guilty was a win-win-win-win situation

- Bergwall got the drugs and the attention he craved
- His lawyer got to represent the worst criminal in modern Swedish history
- The doctors that were close to him at the hospital could make themselves names in the academic community in how successful they were in their methods of "retrieving" the hidden memories of Bergwall.
- The lead police investigator got attention and recognition
- The same with the prosecutor
and so on.

Few (or none) in the system had incentives to pull in the opposite direction.
And if MITM attack isn't sufficient, they have the tools to simply penetrate your machine and/or the server.

no, because pomodoro is when you have defined task that can completed in the allotted time.
By the way, the site's running entirely on a single ec2 micro instance (nginx, redis, posgres and go). I'm curious to see if my optimizations pay off and if it can continue to handle the HackerNews traffic.
The Feroceon CPUs are pretty hefty too. They're powering the Marvell Kirkwood platform which is used in things like the Sheevaplug and some of the QNAP TS-* NAS devices. Debian runs great on those. (2.0ghz CPU, 512mb ram). Probably the biggest trouble here is the lack of an MMU (?) .
In your experience, how have you tested your pricing? Are you just pitching and throwing numbers out there to see what sticks?
It's possible that my gag reflex to a strong whiff of body odor is entirely a creation of marketing. Or, maybe modern technology frees us from some of the baser indignities of life, and marketing offers a way to inform people that there is a better way.

Find some ADHD test users and then tell me how well you're solving this problem. Your system seems like something I'd have to develop new habits to use, which is an indication that you miss the point, like every other system I've seen targeting people with ADHD.
It kind of does. No one is hurt by bad smells, and at the very worst, you have to deal with a few unpleasant moments before your senses recalibrate, and then you don't notice the odor anymore. And when everybody smells more or less the same, nobody has to feel inferior.

Marketers basically invented a pretty pit for people to throw their money in, and made them self conscious of their natural bodies in the process. It's had an almost entirely negative influence on the world.

Garbage in New York is unsanitary, attracts pests, and causes disease. Human body odor does not. They are not comparable.

Typically financial companies or IT consulting firms (IBM, CSC, etc) - the exact type that you would expect would ask you about your education. Sometime last year I interviewed with a startup, they loved my resume. Did a skype interview and things were great. Then they put me on a call with their CTO, first question - "Where did you go to school and when did you graduate?"... He cut the interview short and I never heard back.
> Additionally, I feel increasingly leery about rubbing aluminum under my arms every day.

Then don't use antiperspirants. Regular deodorants don't have aluminum zirconium in them, and in the U.S (I'm not sure about non-U.S regulations) deodorants that do have aluminum in them must declare it as an "active ingredient".

Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions! I'll definitely check those other Win8 options out.

I may just end up waiting on all this to see if Microsoft updates the Surface line with Haswells. Perhaps they'll also address the kick-stand issue. Though with their recent financials maybe the Surface line isn't going to get refreshed?

EDIT: Should also mention I'm right there with you on MBA being the best value. The Surface's main appeal to me is its tablet form factor - I like tablets and have lots of fun using iPads, but an iPad just can't replace a laptop for me and the last thing I need in my life is another device! 2-in-1 would be great.
The way the site is written, it definitely looks like New Enterprise. But to figure out what the right model is, I'd want to understand how your customers prefer to buy the software. So far, are most of your customers coming from individual employees who sign up, and then you talk to the IT decision-makers? Or from trainings organized by IT?

I'm tempted to say the Yammer model might work if there's a viral component. I.e., can an individual employee who uses Synergyse invite others, have it spread through the organization, and then you can contact IT once a bunch of people are already using you?
From the documentation, this seems only geared towards specific ZIPs of what is already on Github and is discussed as such in all press announcements. Basically, an easy way to have Acme 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 zips of code alongside each other as easily accessible zips. Nowhere is it indicated that this is for binary installer releases (EXE/MSI for Windows or DMG for Mac) or that these types of installers and their large associated bandwidth requirements are supported. Is this clarified somewhere else?
I think about my business all the time. I love my customers and spend a lot of time talking to them. I do this because I love my business. I just happened to have built a business with a high degree of automation. It's also successful, growing and I'm working on scaling it even more. So I suppose I'm a counter example?
"Western" is an exaggeration -- rather, the common law justice system.

Many European countries, including Sweden, don't have guilty pleas in the American sense. In a Swedish trial, the court must find that the suspect is proven guilty. A confession can be treated as evidence, similar to evidence from witnesses, but just like with a witness the court still has to rule on how credible it is. Except for minor crimes (such as speeding tickets), one can not plead guilty to bypass the trial.

Also, the prosecutor does not have any discretion about what crimes to charge (there is a duty to charge any crime that can be proven). One major consequence is that there is are no plea bargains.
I was trying to be clear. Judging by the OP's response, I think I was successful. But agreed, I could have avoided the So… part. There was really didn't mean anything by that part. Mea culpa.

> I think more likely the reason is people with "north of $100M" in transactions are scared to try something new on their form. When there form clearly works fine as it is.

That's actually far from the truth, at least in my experience. You are constantly looking at how to improve the experience at every level. Between the amount of time a person spends entering in each field, to the errors they get back, and even where the person lives. Everything is scrutinized. Not everything matters, but you keep looking.

> I know a lot of people who are still unsure of what a CVV is.

Yep. And there are ways you can go about resolving that. Hiding the field from the start is a bad idea. There is nothing to suggest that you couldn't also display the back of the credit card below the front.

The most important thing you can do when designing something like this is get real feedback and data. Just because it looks nice doesn't mean it will help.

This is one thing I hate about most cleaning products. Whatever you're using, it eventually goes to a lake / something. Treatment is great and all, but if it's not designed to be broken down quickly by nature / the treatment, it stays in the lake. That drain cleaner? Meds? Micro-bead face cleanser? It all goes to the same place, often still intact (chemically speaking). And even if you don't add much, millions do, and it does add up.

It's enough to drive me to buy as many biodegradable / compostable products as possible. Now if only they weren't so crazy expensive...
Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 4 here. As a previous user said, takes a bit of getting used to, but it is the only thing I use now. I still have an old Galaxy Nexus with Android lying around, but it hasn't been turned on in weeks. I'll probably flash that to Ubuntu Touch as well and give that to the wife.

It is not a problem. Humans smell a certain way.
This is one example of illogical and wasteful consumer driven society creating a need for more pointless crap to make and needlessly further deplete our resources.
Our products are Open Source, but I think we're still more "old enterprise" than "new enterprise" by the model presented early in the article. Yes, a single individual can download and install the product for free, and yes we want to try and eventually convert (some|most) of those users to purchases of subscription - but that's not the main way we anticipate selling our stuff. Why? Because the products are complex and will require a measure of top-down support and adoption to provide the most value anyway (at least in most organizations).

So even though we're Open Source (and I mean real Open Source, as in "ALv2 license, open bug tracker, code on GitHub, open mailing lists, the whole bit"), we still expect that direct sales through sales-people will be our primary avenue to gain paying customers.

Helpful answer: Python is a programming language. It can be used to create scripts, making it a scripting language as well.

More or less by definition, a scripting language is a programming language.

In a practical sense, and as stonemetal says, there is no real-world difference between a programming language and a scripting language.

In a technical sense though, one might consider a programming language to have a compiler and linker and debugger and able to create stand-alone executable files. Most scripting languages can also do that these days.

Perhaps the best guide then is intent - if a language is intended for script tasks (Windows/DOS batch files, for example, or even PHP), it is a scripting language. If the language supports a wider focus, it is a more general purpose programming language (Python, C, PERL, Java, etc.).

Ultimately, the best tool for the job, selected from the tools you know :) If you're writing a web application, there are a few languages either explicitly designed for that (PHP is a good/bad example), but many other languages can do it as well (Python, C, PERL, Java, etc.). If you're writing a desktop application, PHP would not be your best bet, but Python might not be either. Ditto mobile apps.
So does this mean that Google is the last major Mobile OS development company to provide this service (behind Apple and Microsoft, respectively)?

> If a person committed a crime, they should be able to give details that only the criminal would know, or point in the direction of physical evidence.

Yes! And Bergwall's testimony was often wrong. He guessed for example what was the weapon he must have used. But when he was wrong, he got to "think harder", make another guess, and over time (months or years) he could piece together hints from his interrogators and eventually come up with a somewhat "correct" story vs what secret evidence the police knew. Such as if murderer was using a blunt weapon in the head vs a knife in the abdomen.

It is surreal to read about it.

This acquisition reminds me a lot of Hunch. It's a similar size in terms of team + cost per team member. $2-3M/employee. And, Hunch's core tech seems to have gone into the eBay homepage, which is what Sarah is proposing Yahoo do with Rockmelt.
Apple's obligatory response:

“Plaintiffs’ proposed injunction is a draconian and punitive intrusion into Apple’s business, wildly out of proportion to any adjudicated wrongdoing or potential harm. Plaintiffs propose a sweeping and unprecedented injunction as a tool to empower the Government to regulate Apple’s businesses and potentially affect Apple’s business relationships with thousands of partners across several markets. Plaintiffs’ overreaching proposal would establish a vague new compliance regime—applicable only to Apple—with intrusive oversight lasting for ten years, going far beyond the legal issues in this case, injuring competition and consumers, and violating basic principles of fairness and due process. The resulting cost of this relief—not only in dollars but also lost opportunities for American businesses and consumers—would be vast.”

Indeed. My wife an I were traveling in Brazil and her MBP was stolen.

We located the computer near Sao Paulo (and it was stolen in Maceio!) and talked to a computer repair guy who admitted to having it (though he ostensibly had "just given it back to the owner") even though it was just listed on the local equivalent of CL.

Of course the police wouldn't do anything... not that I blame them-- I certainly couldn't expect them to go searching some random LAN shop...

So this kind of location information is probably only useful for locating devices that are held by people who want you to have them back (ie you left it at a party or somethign).

Good job on your research, but if you think these are "win"s, you don't know how VC works.
Unless the total price of the stock grant is financially negligible at the point of hire, the %5 tax difference isn't that great of an advantage compared to the risk since most startups fail.

I think vested stock options not expiring a few months after leaving the company is far more valuable, but no one does that. It would allow you to put no money down and only exercise when the options are actually liquid without being forced to purchase the stock at some point due to circumstances not under your control.
I would lean towards 'no'. Adding letters to a common word is currently much less common than removing vowels or combining consonants, so will be slightly harder for people to remember.

The exception might be if you have social curating, in which case a play on Digg might work out - vidd.io would be a good domain for that :)

Personally I would look for a word that is related to video, but is not a direct step from misspelling it.

No contest on your position regarding high fps and using a GC language like Java. I definitely don't have your experiences.

I equate VRML browsers with HTML browsers. General purpose, casual use, low cost of content production, etc. Just like with an HTML browser, even if you can make a fast twitch game with VRML, you probably shouldn't, for so many reasons.

> The fact that people get used to it (like people get used to the garbage smell in New York) doesn't mean it isn't a real problem.

New York smells much better than it did 150 years ago, when there was no organized sanitation service and decomposing food and horses lay in the streets. There were an estimated 25,000 horses in the city. Each horse produced 30-50 pounds of manure a day. Clouds of pulverized horse manure particles blew into the air and the unbearable stench spread everywhere. There were no electric fans available to move the air, and the humidity made people sweat profusely.
