I think you meant prove the causation. I can prove they're correlated: they both happened!

You're right that it's always good to be skeptical about extreme claims, but I think in this case it's pretty reasonable to assume that AAPL stock jumping when a famous investor announces "I bought a billion dollars of this stock and it's still undervalued" isn't a coincidence.

Same thing can technically be said about a HSR or a plane. You can't stop the train/plane because somebody got sick, and although you have a bathroom, and although the extra space helps, the resources you have inside the car/plane are very scarce anyway.
Yet, very few people die inside those things nowadays.
So you can't boot OS X by taking stock Darwin/XNU and recompile? If so that is kind of disappointing. I understand they have private code that they don't want to open up but it would be nice if you could still boot with a self-compiled kernel.
It would be challenging. You've got a crawl, but one with a fair bit of spam in it, despite the donation of blekko metadata. Then you have to figure out ranking for keywords, something that the blekko metadata won't help you with at all.
Interesting; quite long-lasting zombie. An organization founded in 1929, but which basically died in 1936, and is somehow still being resurrected today!

Seems it was the precursor of Consumer Reports, but CR was founded when the majority of the staff left in 1936 and founded a new publication. In the 77 years since, it seems the old organization's main achievement is still... that place everyone left to found Consumer Reports.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. You think if the software is GPLv3, Apple won't put restrictions in their hardware in order to be able to shift the software with OSX? More likely they will just not use that software and go write their own (which is, after all, one of the reasons behind their support of the LLVM project in the first place). If all open source software was GPLv3, Apple would ship only proprietary software on their systems, so we'd go from OSX using free software with proprietary modifications, to OSX using completely proprietary software. Hardly much of an improvement.

It probably doesn't. Some people can't metabolise certain forms of B-group vitamins. Unless Soylent includes all the different forms, those people are going to develop a serious deficiency.

That's just one micronutrient, out hundreds that are currently known about.

More worrying is the consistent pattern of being dismissive of feedback from the people who study this subject as their primary concern.
The significance is (or should be) that he chose to use twitter instead of the newspaper or the Bloomberg terminals.
There's another irony here, which is mentioned in that article. The father said that MIT was not neutral, and seems completely unaware that the Abelson report he complains about says the same thing. The report says that MIT adopted a policy of neutrality, but the actual effect of that policy was not neutral; it was biased in favor of the prosecutors and against Swartz. One of the report's recommendations is to reconsider that kind of policy choice.

Are you specifically talking about the Linux drivers for Intel GPUs? Their OpenGL implementation is based on the open-source Mesa project, which, while not perfect, has been worked on steadily for over a decade, and has been pretty solid in my experience.

Not fast, certainly, but solid.
I think people will be surprised how popular the "5C" is out of the gate in the U.S., assuming they can hit the "free with contract" price point. I wish an iPhone that wasn't two years out of date was available when my Mom "bought" her last $0 smartphone and ended up with a godawful HTC that was itself already a year+ out of date.

She doesn't need the fastest graphics or the slickest industrial design, but I do want her to be guaranteed a current iOS version for the life of her contract, along with an SoC that won't be crawling at the end of it.
I agree with the first point, but maybe it's my AI background: "that's a limitation imposed by scarce resources" is a pretty major limitation! If I had infinite time on infinitely fast CPUs with infinite human input, genetic programming algorithms writing code could completely replace human programmers and software architects. The reason they can't is because of a lack of infinite resources.

On some platforms there is a closefrom() call that will do this. (In *BSD it's a syscall, googling around it looks to be a library function on Solaris.) Best to use that if it's available, as hardcoding paths like /dev/fd or /proc/self/fd will not be portable. (Neither will closefrom() be really, but at least it's semantically clear what it does and you can bring-your-own one of those for platforms that lack it.)

>Yes, people have orders of magnitude better comfort in metros and buses. You can exit the city metro or the city bus every minute. You can sit, stand up and walk in them. The buses for longer distances have the toilets and can stop whenever somebody really needs it.

This is not universally true.

For example, here in New York, the express bus from Staten Island has at least 45 minutes of no stops and has no bathroom (just a regular bus). If you do somehow convince the driver to let you off, good luck finding a bathroom anywhere near the places you'd probably find yourself. Some of the Subway trains (such as the N train between Canal St and Atlantic Ave) run express and is about 10 minutes non-stop (and you're a long trek from a bathroom at either end).

Plus, try going to the bathroom in the first or last 30 minutes of a flight. You have a reasonable chance of being arrested.

Of course I distrust his father as well. That's why I want to see the original documents, and make my own conclusions. There's no irony here.

Of course, if you engage in a criminal conspiracy with your lawyer, it's breakable(sorry Walter White). So they could claim espionage. But the catch 22 is proving it it if the only evidence is itself covered by said privilege.

I think it's a combination of both. Icahn's investment in Apple was the reason that people found reason to invest, but that information was brought to people through the distribution channel of Twitter.

So Twitter is an accomplice in this situation, since it acts as how that information got disseminated to an audience, which I think still counts for a lot since it could have been an important signal, but it without Twitter, not as many people might have not known about it.

Not only that, but the fast dissemination of this information (due to the nature of Twitter) might have made the stock go up faster than a news article coming out a day later, being read at different times of the day.
Things are moving quickly in Bootstrap-land. I'm not quite sure I would have called these "Release Candidates" though, given the number of functional changes to the framework that have been happening/are lined up to happen. Still, that's likely due to my interpretation of an RC (feature-freeze).

On a different note: I am a big fan of Bootstrap. Yes, there are tons of complaints from users about sites "looking like Bootstrap", but that's hardly a fault of the framework (at least they look passable). I've always found that some button customisation (easier in 3.0), changing the navbar (color, height, dropdowns) and tweaking the forms is the easiest path to getting a site that doesn't look like vanilla framework. And none of those things require much work or expertise: heck, just a change in height, a different nav-bar font + color go a long way as it is.

I upvoted you because of your first paragraph. But OP's suggestion isn't absurd. One might still offer coupons while not making the option obvious to people who don't have one.

> How is it bad customer service when a user literally isn't forced to do anything other than ignore the field if they so choose?

This isn't simply OP's opinion. Some people will get pissed off if they found somebody else just got a better deal. E.g. see recent Paul Graham's essay where he mentions some investors will refuse to invest at valuation $x if they find out another investor got to invest at valuation $0.8x, (with the implicit assumption that they still believe they can make money at the new valuation).
It's interesting that they keep these considering it's a "well known fact" that you can drop a Driver's License in the mail and it will be returned to the owner at the address labeled (at no expense to the person putting it in the mail).

While we are getting more and more advice about "how to raise money?", the startup community really needs to raise the prominence of another question: "should I raise money?". If properly addressed, I think the latter would be a good filter for companies that aren't impressive or committed enough.

The worst outcome isn't failing to raise money; it's raising money and wishing you hadn't (wrong team, wrong idea/market, etc).

Hey Chris, appreciate your participation here and on SO.

Are you at liberty to provide more insight? I'm really curious to know why some (and not all) accounts were affected.
I too share your general optimism about the current state of open source. I really hope that you are correct in your conclusion that the GPL mandate is unnecessary because, as we see here, many projects are trying to get away from it. However, I feel we have a number of historical examples of what happens when constraints are lifted in a space that has a number of very powerful players. None of them look like anything I want the Open Source movement to look like.
It's more likely to be a pump-and-keep, given his history.
Yeah it was pretty much immediate. The volume surge was huge.

The tables of TLD frequency on page 4 of the stats report are interesting, though it causes some confusion to me about how the crawler actually crawls and when it stops: https://docs.google.com/file/d/1_9698uglerxB9nAglvaHkEgU-iZN...

Table 2a purports to show the frequency of SLDs:

1 youtube.com 95,866,041 0.0250

2 blogspot.com 45,738,134 0.0119

3 tumblr.com 30,135,714 0.0079

4 flickr.com 9,942,237 0.0026

5 amazon.com 6,470,283 0.0017

6 google.com 2,782,762 0.0007

7 thefreedictionary.com 2,183,753 0.0006

8 tripod.com 1,874,452 0.0005

9 hotels.com 1,733,778 0.0005

10 flightaware.com 1,280,875 0.0003

If I'm reading this correctly, it seems that the crawler managed to hit up a huge number of youtube video pages...but only a fraction of them. I couldn't find a total number of Youtube video count, but Youtube's own stats page says 200 million videos alone have been tagged with Content-ID (identified as belonging to movie/tv studios).

In any case, it's surprising to not see Wikipedia on there. English wikipedia has 4+ million articles, so it should be ahead of thefreedictionary.com
NPM's way of managing dependencies still can waste a day or two (or more) of your time.
For example, get a C object from B, then pass it into A.

Things are even more twisted when you have a half dozen versions of C floating around in your node_modules, and the problem isn't in your code, but a dependency of a dependency.

Another issue I've run into is patching a bug in a module, and then having to figure out how to get that patch into all of the other versions that cropped up in node_modules.

NPM is one way to solve the modules problem, but it's no panacea.
>The reasons cited by the committee was his "promotion of nuclear nonproliferation" and reaching out to the Muslim world.

That may have been the stated reason, but I doubt it was the real reason. Would a white male president have received the Nobel for that? Doubt it.

I think many people interpreted it as being awarded to Obama for having busted the glass ceiling, even if the Nobel committee went with a more pedestrian official explanation.
I beg to differ. It was just necessarily passive-aggressive enough. On the dot.

The curiosity will only grow and grow. I put my phone away and only check it occasionally, when my daughter is not around. I was forced to do this b/c we started letting her play games on the phone. Now as soon as she sees it she wants to play games on it. I can't even take a picture these days w/o some crying b/c she wants the phone. We try to limit her screen time to less than an hour a week. I don't know how others can be frequently on the phone around a toddler w/o temper tantrums. My daughter is 19 months old.
The amount of code necessary to wire up a well-written application into iOS and Android is pretty minor. I'd rather do that where I can't use GLFW (I mean, GLEW does most of the hard work anyway, and that is portable). GLFW epitomizes a good library for this stuff, in that it's minimal and minimizes the amount of stuff you have to wrestle with when writing C++; on the other hand, SDL forces you to come to grips with its weight and its own dubious design decisions (and a lot of plumbing code to make it sane in C++).

When wrapping OpenGL code myself, at least the dubious design decisions are my own and I understand them intuitively.
It is not anyone's business to know what these people do with their time, unless they choose to willingly share. Yes the chance for actual harm is low (the only thing that immediately came to mind is something along the lines of "college student who promised their parents they were studying for the CPA that weekend but now helicopter mom found out the truth", etc). But it is the principle of the matter. We still have some principles, don't we?

Do you have any clue what "administratively attached to a government element" means? It sounds like you don't.

The issue is that a security clearance for access to given information requires three things:

1. A screening (eligibility for a security clearance). This can be done outside of government.
2. Need to know. Our 'review group' will certainly have that.
3. Permission of the unit Director/CO/OIC. This is why people might need to be "administratively attached" to a unit. It's one of those stereotypical "Catch-22" situations.

If the persons getting a clearance have no one to give them permission, how can they get a clearance? Administratively speaking they can't.

By attaching them to a unit 'administratively' they simply declare which unit Director/CO/OIC is going to get their head put on the chopping block if one of those privacy groups leaks classified information.

Now there are reasons to be afraid of government involvements in groups. The easy thing is financial interest, so we just need to make sure the reviewers from the NGOs volunteer or are paid from outside the government.

Another concern is performance evaluation. You wouldn't want the person "signing the FITREP" to be the person with an existing interest in the outcome of the decision one way or the other. But I don't see that here.

Either way the report hasn't even been published yet, so how can you possibly know that it must be whitewashed? At least wait for the damn thing to be published before you unleash the attacks you undoubtedly already have queued up. :P
> Is there any area of the government whose sole role is protecting the rights of the people against the government?

There's the Office of the Federal Public Defender in each Federal judicial district, and the umbrella Office of Defender Services inside the U.S. Courts system (fd.org). They have some staff who work on advancing the interests of Federal criminal defendants collectively (for example, by lobbying the U.S. Sentencing Commission on Sentencing Guidelines revisions), not just representing individuals.

One could also argue that the PCLOB and individual agencies' privacy offices are in the category that you mention, although I don't know if that's the way that their staff would see or describe their missions.
They should just remove the first definition.
Funny though, the elected lot want votes. On one hand "we" give them power; on the other hand, they really don't want our opinions.
