I've only had one interaction with Crunchbase CEO Matt Kaufman: he rescinded my friend's offer to work at Crunchbase because my friend tried to negotiate the offer. Matt was clear that the attempted negotiation was the reason for the revocation and was quite judgmental about the whole thing.
I haven't had to deal with user agents in a while, thankfully. Except today; the client wants the user to be presented the mobile site we built, or the old desktop site, depending on user agent. I'm not going to parse no user agent strings though - there's an open source library / database called WURFL [1] that can do all those things. Hopefully.

Sometimes legal litigation forces companies to take extra measures and describing the obvious is something that already was tested in court. You feel that's obvious because you understand the tech behind it but some users (maybe the less educated ones) don't understand this, and then they sue apple for shorter than published battery life. By forcing you to include this label in your terms it releases legal responsibility.

For absurdity in warning labels follow one of the most famous cases:

BitTorrent Sync Beta API Now Available to Developers
The FourSquare API calls seemed to fail in the Chrome dev console when selecting a coffee shop. I got a bunch of domain origin errors, and one 403 Forbidden. Actually, you should really check the dev console in general – there's a lot of warnings, 404s, etc. that might be important to you.
I wonder what this means for startups building their product on Crunchbase like Datafox.co, Mattermark and Inkwire.io?

Seems analogous in some ways to what Twitter did with its API and data and developer some time ago.

I've found that for general workflow, they're about the same, except that Mercurial has a slower checkout process and doesn't resolve conflicts as nicely. I'm not sure if there are features it has that git is missing..
Not applying filters is precisely the right thing to do; it gives developers the most flexibility in interpreting the data. Filters by definition lose data, and can only be chosen with a specific use case in mind.

Thx Matt :)
Supervisor is solid and mature, that's for sure. If not for the sockets feature, I would say that you would want to move to Circus if:

- you need python 3
- you have a complex start/stop sequence where you need to add some custom code
- you manage many servers and want to quickly jump from one to another in the same web dashboard / CLI.

Otherwise, they both provide roughly the same things I'd say
Oh I agree, I just wish they offered a different tier or something around half their current prices. I'd be willing to pay more to host with Rackspace as I've had great experiences with them in the past, but I just plain can't afford to host my current project with them.
Or just re-submit it another time and see what happens, try to negotiate, try to get an explanation why this requirement is not in the submission guidelines, whatever.

The people reviewing submitted apps are just that: people. They sometimes make mistakes just like you and me. If you're unlucky an overzealous reviewer looked at your app, or someone misinterpreted the guidelines. Could be anything. Or maybe Apple simply changed their guidelines and you have to comply, as an end-user I can see why Apple would want to include a warning about battery life for apps that do continuous GPS tracking. Big deal...

So he is attacking Bezos wife and not the facts she wrote? https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem
I've lived in Korea for quite a length of time and my wife is Korean...and I concur that it's a nightmare. No Korean financial institution will let you log into their interfaces on anything other than IE. Often the homepage would be completely broken in anything other than IE anyway. This is true for most sites, though those were easily avoidable. Banks and the like, not so much.

To perform financial transactions online in Korea, you would need a plethora of software (often one from each party you would deal with) that revolved around security certificates that were issued by the banks that would store a hard copy of the certificate locally on your computer. Often it didn't work at all, not even getting into the security implications of the system. Bank hacking is so common in Korea, it's really disturbing. There is absolutely no accountability where the attempts at security do exist.

Also, you need to use your Citizen Number (basically a Social Security Number) to register for ANY service in Korea, even common websites. So everything you do can be traced via that single number. For foreigners, registering for common sites is usually impossible because our alien numbers are stored wherever normal citizen numbers are, so unless the site has a separate process for foreigners, you'd be out of luck. It's quite a mess. I can't say enough bad things.

On the bright side, start ups like Vingle in Seoul are doing a lot of tip the scales for the younger generation by only supporting modern browser versions (IE8+, not the most modern, but definitely a step up from IE6, which has a huge market share still, too), but it's a slow change.
This is flatly incorrect.

1) Property. If you have a monopoly on the property in a given area you can charge whatever you want for rent, and no competition will be around to add competition.

2) Vertical monopolies. If your company buys out not just the competition, but the entire supply chain, and there is a high cost of entry to being able to enter the market -- say automobiles -- then you can quash competition as it arises.

3) Coal mines. If the only job you can get is in a coal mine, and the operator of said mine owns all the mines in your geographic region, you don't have much of a choice. This is especially true if you are working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week for a pittance, or are a minor child.

4) This is libertarian fantasy and rightfully deserves the scorn and ridicule it has so far received in this thread.

There are many, many ways to abuse the market to the detriment of the workers, both with and without regulation.

The memo field is not terribly relevant. I've jokingly written things very similar to these examples on real bank checks and never had a problem with someone else cashing or depositing them.
All of the rules are written down. It's just that developers don't read them.

Prior to the Internet and e-mail, the days of yore 20+ years ago, writing thank you notes was far more common. Can you believe it was actually expected job-hunting etiquette to send a thank-you note/letter after an interview, thanking the interviewer for their time and getting in a couple final "why you should hire me" points?

If the Internet has done anything successfully, it has drastically eroded much of our common courtesy and etiquette.

> Consider the fact that if you refuse to do business with a private-sector monopoly the worst that'll happen is that you'll get a slightly less-effective alternative or in the worst case go without the good.

Is it easier to buy something out of a catalog over the phone? If that is still an option, then one way around this law is to use a web site to set up an order (fill your shopping cart, shipping details, etc). Then call the vendor to finalize the order. Of course, this would add to the cost of online purchases, since you'd have to pay for the person taking the call, but still it might be a work around.
Based on the front image, this is about men having coffee with men.

My understanding is that the team at Mojang is seriously committed to their new mod-based vision; but that there are many technical hurdles they must overcome to achieve their goals.

Just looking at the patch notes for the 1.7, 1.7.1, and 1.7.2, it looks to me that they did some significant code refactoring and expanded the capabilities of the core systems.
Additionally, they seem to have added new features to really enhance the multiplayer experience.

Among the changes I see as significant (either from improving the social experience, or from technical difficulty) are:
+ Achievements are now world specific
+ Gaining achievements now announced to other players
+ Servers can now have a “server-icon.png” that is displayed in the multiplayer list
+ You can see who’s online before joining, just hover the player count number in the server list
+ Links in chat are now clickable
+ Click on somebody’s name to send a private message

+ Added Stained Glass

+ Added a bunch of new graphics options
+ Added some shader tests (click on the “Super Secret Settings” a couple of times…)

* You can now have multiple resource packs loaded at the same time
* Resource packs can now hold sound effects
* Servers can recommend resource packs

* Network code has been rewritten
* Sound manager has been rewritten

I love it. Fantastic for multiple reasons.

1) I can never remember the "intuitive" keyboard combinations to do this on my mac, but I can remember "easyprintscreen"

2) Useful. I can capture my screen, draw on it, highlight issues or bugs or whatnot, and share it.

3) I know you'll keep it running because it has an obvious, lucrative business model (assuming you monitor what screens people capture for the occasional useful password, credit card numbers, stock tips, blackmailing opportunity, etc...)

Okay, you're kidding, right?

Minecraft 1.7 did not include any major changes. They just rewrote about 50% of the source code.

Nah, not a lot.

And they're doing it EXACTLY so they can make a mod store.

Now, the only reason you cannot pay for Railcraft is because Mojang included a clause stating that you cannot sell modifications or derivative works based on Minecraft's source code. They ARE working on a mod store and API... since 2011. I believe it will be coming in the next year or so, Mojang claims January but I stopped believing them long ago.

About modifications, I started work on a way to improve mod distribution from servers to clients: AsieLauncher. It automatically generates a launcher, a list of modifications and a list of changes between modpacks. It supports delta updating, all MC versions from 1.2.3 to 1.7.2, optional mods and a lot of other things.

The plan was to add support for automatic mod updating and dependency tracking, but the problem is mod authors aren't often willing to participate, due to stubbornness or just plain assholery or laziness. That's why such projects rarely take off.

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSBC#Money_laundering might be more interesting to a hacker.

As I've discussed previously[1], Taibbi is not noted for being a reliable systems expert on the international banking system. The simple facts are damning enough without layers of editorializing cruft from an unreliable source.

For example, consider the assertion that people need to go to jail for fraud in the HSBC case. Most of these bad things are instances of the bank systemically not monitoring transactions closely enough. You can't pick individuals and throw them in jail for responding to bad institutional incentives--you have to pick out a specific criminal act that's punishable by jail time and pin it on someone, beyond reasonable doubt. Truth be told, if you start doing this in an equitable fashion with the goal of "punishing" bad banking behavior, you'll target a lot of lower-middle-class mortgage brokers from the 2008 mortgage crisis who knowingly committed fraud, which seems like an undesirable result. Or maybe you could pick a few politically convenient scapegoats, but that would be unjust in a different way. That's why we fine banks billions of dollars instead.

I'm writing an open curriculum for learning Python, aimed at people who have never programmed before. The student-facing page is at http://introtopython.org, and the project page is at https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming.

I started revising the curriculum for a class I teach each fall, and then realized I could just as easily turn it into an open resource. Now even though the class is over, I can't stop working on it. If anyone is interested, I'd love to have some professional eyes on some of the code samples, and I'd love some help writing exercises and challenges.

It's still a young project, but I'm happy to hear feedback.
But we don't give the names of foreign languages' syntactic structures to any english sentence that happens to have the same semantics. If we're naming syntactic structures, then we want to divide sentences according to their syntax.

So, in Latin (and other languages, but I know Latin), there's a verb form called future tense:

laudo -> present 1sg active indicative, "I praise"

laudabo -> future 1sg active indicative, "I will praise"

English has nothing analogous. To achieve the same semantics (referring to the future), you need some combination of explicit time reference and periphrasis ("I will praise him tomorrow"). So we usually say that English has two tenses, which you might refer to as present and preterite, or past and non-past, or A and B, or any combination thereof (though I don't recommend "preterite and B"). Referring to a "future tense" in English is buying into the idea that every structure in every language has not only a conventional way of being expressed in every other language, but an analogous structure there as well.

On a totally unrelated note, the 1sg Latin subjunctive forms of esse [to be] are sim (present), essem (imperfect), fuerim （perfect), and fuissem (pluperfect). The Italian form "fossi" appears closely related to fuissem, so I'm a little surprised to see that it's called "imperfect". How many tenses of subjunctive does Italian have? Are there obvious analogs to any of the other three Latin forms?
Why not? Anything particularly bad with how Mozilla encrypts and stores passwords (when a suitable pass-phrase is chosen)?

Unless you're using some form of one-time token, a compromised browser process could still expose your passwords (not to mention that it of course have access to whatever data you protect with that password (emails, documents etc)).
Uhh, clear your cache? You've definitely been compromised - content all over your site has been replaced with spam content.

I would rather see that disclaimer then download your app, install it, and wonder why my battery is dying so fast. That is a problem that I had on the Windows Phone. I downloaded a few apps and one of them was killing my battery so I had to go one by one disabling each app every day to figure out that the culprit was a GroupMe.

Apple does encourage you to update your switcher screenshot especially in gaming. This could be a valid use, but it could kill the battery and the dev should warn users of that.
