It's great that Google is under so much scrutiny due to its do no evil slogan. But making such a fuss about Google changing its UI to make more money is somewhat a bit off the target in my opinion. Google changing UX to make more money is going to be tested and corrected by the market. The real serious threat to the society for Google being evil is the possibility of Google using the massive amount of information it collects to manipulate the society at an enormous scale.
Just imagine the possibility of Google start trading. It could be all based on the public information Google gathered but Google's ability to collect it is no match by any other entities (alright, maybe NSA)

Objects in Clojure are an implementation detail of the JVM. Clojure doesn't really use objects as objects.

People can ignore these things when they really want to do something. For example, most people won't check for emails while watching an interesting movie. Similarly, if I'm working up awesome code that needs to be ready for tomorrow, I'm going to forget to sleep, never mind email.

The problem comes when they are doing something they don't want to be doing - they might check them while watching a nourishing NPR documentary, or that 1980s zombie movie He insists is amazing.

So why are I commenting on HN while I am supposed to be working? I think it's because there isn't a strong enough negative consequence. Most people can perform +-20% at anything in their lives, and not see much effect either way. So if they don't like doing an activity, why not give it -20% effort?

In the 70s it would be a cigarette break, now it's reddit. People don't change much.
"I'm surprised that configuration profiles can be shipped to an arbitrary device from a third party this way without the user manually installing LinkedIn's certificate as trusted."

It's a big deal because this is a false equivalence. A corporation with a marketing budget and a brand is not the same as an historical figure. I think that explains a lot of the leeriness around this move.

That said, I'm leaning towards your interpretation ("search results in a prettier way"). But the money involved makes me nervous.

I guess it's a matter of taste. Almost every time I get puzzled by some design decision in C++, it makes sense at first but then falls apart on closer inspection. The most recent example amused me so much that I wrote a blog post about it: http://slepnev.blogspot.ch/2013/07/printing-int-in-c.html. My experience with Haskell so far has been the opposite, design decisions make no sense at first but then turn out to be really smart.

The Acorn Archimedes version of Elite was excellent. It was essentially a clone of the original BBC elite, but with superior graphics and AI.

The archimedes version even had a 6502 emulator built in so that the original procedural generation routines could be directly run on the acorn, to produce the exact same universe. Very impressive for the time.
Personally, I think that credit cards should use two factor authentication. Put an e-ink strip on the back of the card that displays a new 6 digit pin every 10 minutes or so. The pin would be required to complete in-person and online transaction.

Skimmers would become useless because the PIN number entered would only be good for a few minutes after it was captured. Stealing a credit card number and sharing online would be equally useless without the physical card.

This would, of course, cause some problems for online purchases, like Amazon's 1-click, but something like vendor-specific passcodes could solve that. You could go to your credit card website and request a passcode to provide to a specific online store. If their database gets compromised, you can revoke the password.

Most agree that patents are a good thing. But a "patent troll" as commonly understood is an entity that only litigates. There is no value creation on their end, and they are not using the patents to create value. Simply to re-distribute value from other parties to themselves.
Good point, yes there are reasons other than URL illiteracy (convenience) to use search as a DNS replacement. So this new behavior of Google helps even you. And without any deceptive downside since if you are URL-literate you're probably pretty well aware of what's advertising and what isn't.
I think you are making a mistake in assuming that you know how another person, who presumably is much more qualified at this specific domain, should spend their time to be the most productive in that domain. That's kind of like telling Elon Musk that he should definitely use GTD - and if he doesn't he's doing something wrong - cause he'd be so much more productive.

It is an interesting question why he doesn't want to collaborate with other people, but he is far from alone in that m.o. and he kind of answered it.
I agree. While reading the article I can't help but, sort of, empathize with modern AI programs. Me and Watson are very similar, Watson can win Jeopardy but has no understanding why, I can recognize a handwritten 'a' and I too have no understanding why.

When I look at my daughter developing, from baby to infant to child. Hasn't that been a constant, intensive training? As she recognizes stuff, I give feedback. After a while she starts correlating stuff, and signals for me to give feedback. By the time she's an adult, she will have full control of her intelligence, but also no understanding.

Salted SHA512 is absolutely not a safe way to store authenticators for payment card information. Using salted hashes for payment cards is even worse than using it for passwords, because the input domain for payment card information is so much smaller.

If a pentester finds that you did that, you will almost certainly get that written up sev:hi.

We work with lots of companies that handle payment card information (though we do not do PCI audits, which are a race to the bottom). The best practice solution for this problem is to isolate the cardholder information on a protected backend machine, keep it encrypted, and replace it on every other machine with an opaque token.

(You are much better off using Stripe or Braintree than doing this yourself.)

Let's not start revving that hyperbole engine, it's an experiment. Also the web looks very different now from what it was in 2005, obviously much more visual.

All search engines did back then was spew blue links, now they speak the answer back at you. It wasn't very forward looking statement, but that is a silly article obviously looking to capitalise on the "Google outrage porn"™.

I can see where some of the negative reviews might be coming from wrt, "performance."

Even with sophisticated GC it is difficult to predict performance characteristics for systems with deterministic and "hard real-time," performance expectations.

Not really sure that a Paxos implementation is one of those systems with such constraints...

But still regardless of implementation language it's good to see an apples-to-apples comparison of various algorithms.
The surface shows that microsoft, rightly or wrongly, have a different idea about where the whole mobile / desktop vision may converge. it's not a desktop, laptop nor a tablet and, for all the shit it gets, quite refreshing and innovative. metro UI also works very well on it, as it does with touchscreen laptops
The BBC/Ray Mears "Real Heroes of Telemark" is fairly good, and you most definitely get an idea of how tough the guys involved were. Balls of steel.
... ignoring the fact that you can have multiple metro apps on screen just like with any other tiling window manager.

i think there's a good argument that manually micro-managing the sizes and positions of overlapping windows (some of which can additionally be application or system modal) is a waste of time and gives few benefits.

whilst the metro apps are all pretty cut down at the moment - and there's a lot of work to do before it can viably replace the old desktop - i have no real issue with this as the direction of progress.
This is not wholly unexpected, after all their earnings have shown that CPC is down and while you can make that up in volume for a while, eventually you exhaust that path too.

And that then is what I think the real "problem" is. You reach a point where your biggest money maker, search advertising, by at least one and possibly two decimal orders of magnitude, is no longer growing. And all of the things you've ever done which were never as successful as search advertising are supposed to give you the growth that your stockholders are looking for. Interesting place to be for a company like Google I expect.

This is just another example of how that it process is coming along. It will be interesting to see what happens if it starts damaging their brand.
The problem is that the underlying "facts" are really misinterpretations.

> 62 percent of Airbnb hosts say Airbnb helped them stay in their homes

The statement seems to suggest that most people wouldn't be able to afford their homes if it weren't for airbnb, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the question they posed. If you asked "would you be able to afford your home or apartment without airbnb?", then you'd see far less than 62%.

> Airbnb visitors stay on average 6.4 nights (compared to 3.9 for hotel guests) and spend $880 at NYC businesses (compared to $690 for average New York visitors).

The monies paid to rent a hotel room is money paid to a NYC business and is omitted from this count. If it were counted, using the average stay numbers people contribute more to the economy by staying at the hotel than with airbnb.

Another looming question is whether you should count new yorkers who use airbnb to stay in other places. this study doesn't consider that factor at all, and it's likely that the loss to the NYC economy due to those people exceeds the gain due to others coming into the city.

A little googling should provide the due diligence you require.
None.

I see no point in taking any supplements or medications when I am free of signs and symptoms and in good health.

Occasionally I will take ibuprofen if I have unusual stiffness or tension or if I've smited myself unusually hard (bit of a klutz when I'm tired), and I will attempt to manage colds and other illnesses symptomatically, and will consult doctors for the unusual (knock-on-wood rare and harmless so far - which includes a steroid inhaler for a fungal allergy thanks to this past spring's unusual weather).

Eat well (in all senses of the word), drink well in moderation (life is too short for cheap wine or sweet or tasteless beer), get some exercise, take in a show, have sex with someone you really care for, get some air.

Absent an identifiable medical condition, powders and potions won't do much to improve on that. (Allergy sufferers have my complete sympathy; I've had infrequent bouts, usually in weird weather, and the drop in personal function is appalling. I'm deeply grateful I don't have to deal with that more often.)
Well, I don't do much of #3 & #4, but do plenty of #1 & #2. I count on the community to vet the loudness of private time-wasters. And so public watering holes become more palatable.

It's a quick ref of functions for an autocomplete list.

If you have this in your html as the only form:

<form>
<input type="text" id="pattern"/>
<input type="text" id="show" value="quickref" />
</form>
<script>
document.forms[0].pattern = document.getElementById('pattern');
document.forms[0].show = document.getElementById('show');
</script>

then include the functions js you will see an autocomplete list of functions when you type into the pattern box. The lists of function names are stored in a compressed string at the top so it's not really obfuscated, just minified. They shouldn't store it minified though.
It walks like a duck but it doesn't quack like a duck. It shows up upon your specific input of the company name. I'm not sure what to call it, but 'advertisement' seems ill-fitting.

As someone who spends a lot of time driving, I really don't like E-bikes. I also have no problem with pedal bikes.

They take up very little room on the road and parked.

This is my problem. I do not find this to be the case at all. They are becoming more popular in my city, and the people riding them seem to feel the need to take up an entire traffic lane with their bike.

Since these bikes are generally not as fast as a car, and do not accelerate as quickly they end up being a large nuisance to the traffic system and actually prevent things from running smoothly.

I imagine that a large part of the danger is that they're silent - it's easier to avoid a loud truck or car than it is to hear a silent bike approaching at the same speeds.

This is something that'll be tackled as soon as electric cars start being common place, though.
Carl Icahn's letter to Tim Cook
> "Fuel prices, like food prices, disproportionately hit the poor, so do-gooders do everything they can to raise energy costs..."

Way to put words in peoples' mouths.

Political activists on all sides of all debates are doing what they can to help people (in the odd case of anti-immigration politics, to help "our" people) - Specifically for food and energy, this is to make people healthier (which makes them more likely to be happier) and to prevent climate change (which makes all our grandchildren happier.)

While the political ideas they come up with may be naive, and not do the intended thing, this does not make your political opponents malicious.

Sadly, people will never stop making these kinds of straw man arguments - people fall for them because of confirmation bias. I weep for political truth.

I always thought Microsoft were crowbarring their mobile UI in to the desktop system not because it was a good idea, but to gain familiarity. If all Windows users are familiar with the Tile UI, they might then be more comfortable getting a Windows phone or tablet - areas MS need all the help they can get.

On the other hand though touchscreen laptops and desktops are gradually becoming more common, so the fat-finger UI of the start screen tiles can work for that as well.

I don't think there are many practicing entities that are hiding the people potentially benefiting from their patent litigation.

I also don't think many practicing entities send out litigation threats that cannot be shown to be "substantially justified."

It also prevents entities from targeting end users without going after the actual manufacturer.

Generic functions like in Java/C# can be implemented efficiently and with zero overhead. There is nothing that prevents a JIT compiler to generate several versions of the code optimised for different types at runtime, exactly like C++ does at compile-time. Some VMs already do that to some extent in order e.g. to better inline calls for the generic argument. Still, those optimisations are in their infancy, but the situation improves with every year.

"Don't get me wrong. I am quite happy with this making my skills very rare and expensive, giving me both job security and decent compensation."

Eh? C++ skills are not any more expensive than decent Java/C#/Python/(put whatever mainstream language here) skills. Who told you that? This is supply-demand. There is lower supply of C++ coders, so some may think the prices should be higher, but in fact it is compensated by lower demand. C++ is also still being taught at schools, so those skills are not that rare as, say, Haskell, Erlang or Go.
