This is driving me insane. Why do people keep asking this question? Even Ars's poorly written article was crystal clear on this. The article you just commented on is crystal clear on it as well. It says:

> Dragos believes that two infected computers can communicate with each other over the audio port

Infected computers. The audio communication is between infected machines. It is not the vector of initial infection.

I believe hotels are regulated and inspected? Not all taxes and regulations are invalid on principle.. Regulations on hotels, car services, and money transfers are usually sold on being in the best interest of the people - protecting their health, safety, and preventing them from being scammed.
Images on any Apple device are shown by default. If you don't give any dimensions to the image, it will collapse when images are blocked. You can use a table with a background-color as a fallback when images are blocked so it still looks good even without images.

That said, some folks go with image-heavy emails to encourage people to turn on the images. ASOS are particularly well known for this.

And if you want to get really creative when dealing with image-blocking - http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/3642/email-with-pix...

Macaw looks great for generating the CSS and HTML code.

Before I switched to Mac, I ran OpenBSD for about a year on my primary laptop. It was a pretty good experience but my laptop stays plugged in 90% of the time. I took a pretty good hit on battery life and that would have been a pain if I traveled more. OpenBSD really felt more at home on my server but it still makes an OK desktop. Last I checked GNOME3 wasn't fully operational, but I think it was coming along.

You are really encouraged by the communtiy to use packages over the ports system, but you'll find everything you listed in both.

How do you know B has really nothing to do with it in this case? I was assuming that Ars did the research and had some evidence to believe that B was true and thus relevant.
Still a bad idea. At the very least they should make sure that nothing is fried on either side if you plug one of these drives into a SAS controller, or a SAS drive into a backplane that expects to see dual Ethernet on those pins.

Even though (for example) USB3 is blue connectors, it's interoperable if you plug USB2 gear in.
> I know this is a bit offtopic but why is the obsession with the semantics and the literal text of the Constitution?

The literal text of the Constitution is the current law of the land. That's why its interpretation continues to be relevant. I'm perfectly fine with amending the fuck out of it in theory, but I can agree with most people that such amendments need to be carefully reasoned about before being enacted.

I, for one, don't consider the Constitution to even be correct. I consider it to be real. It's not really different from a man saying, "The sun comes out at night." I feel obliged to correct him, but to do that, I have to acknowledge that he said it.

> It is as close to theology as I could not imagine.

Your mistake is mostly in imagining that it is not theology. It is. [1]

Many people, most notably libertarians, have been co-opted by the refrain of "what the Founders originally meant" and "what the Constitution originally said" as a way to justify their policies.

This is made more confusing by the presence of "originalist" jurisprudential theory. [2] But this originalism is also an outgrowth of dominionism.

Libertarians would normally be expected to oppose this kind of trend, but their label was part of the co-opting. The result is that there are libertarians and Real True Libertarians, just as there are Christians and Real True Christians and Republicans and Real True Republicans (read: not a RINO).

All of this is dominionism. It's arguable that a lot of this is just a wave of echoes from the Reconstruction after the Civil War, which was unprecedented in a lot of ways (the rise of the central executive using what was unquestionably force to suppress rebellion and secession; the breaking of the institution of slavery on a national scale; the deliberate and callous humbling of the losers in the war), and merely delayed until the 1980s because of the two World Wars and Vietnam.

I never understand what's so wrong about the "series of tubes" metaphor. A tube connects something to something else, and it has the same characteristics like bandwidth, travel time, connections/splits, etc.

I think there is a position in the middle between you and the person you responded. I see a lot of kids now that have grown up with that attitude that it is never their fault. That leads to not taking responsibility for their own situation.

When I was growing up, it didn't matter if I was right. If a teacher called the house it was always my fault and I was punished. Now it seems teachers are blamed for simply trying to do the right thing. Parents take their kids side even when they are grossly wrong. A local murder case where 2 teens shot and killed a guy after luring him to buy a truck has their parents and friends posting 'free <whatever the idiot thugs are called>' on facebook and twitter.

So while you are right that a lot of factors come into play when attempting to move up the ladder, you cannot completely absolve the individuals responsibility for their own situation.
Google search, Gmail, Chrome, and YouTube are all free to use, hence low barrier to adoption. Android devices cost money to buy, but the software is open source and free for OEMs.

Glass, on the other hand, needs to sell buyers on a whole new product category. Also, as a very conspicuous accessory, it needs to make a strong positive fashion statement.

I recently bought a condo in Maui to rent and those places are sent up for this sort of thing. They even call them Condotels. Being designed for short term rentals brings a lot of benefits like resort manages check-ins/outs for you.

Also, there is an echo chamber in the tech community regarding AirBnB as the standard for short term rentals. From my experience, VRBO has been much better and provided significantly more bookings. ymmv and it could be your customer type as a two bedroom condo in Hawaii gets a lot more families and older bookings.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Sunnyvale, California / Remote

We're a small bootstrapped business in Silicon Valley and we're looking to build two native mobile apps (one for Android, one for iOS) for browsing and displaying files with an existing cloud-based API.

The first phase of the apps will just be file browsing. The second phase will include other activities (to be described).

If you have proven ability to deliver native apps in Android or iOS, we'd love to talk!

What if the insurance only covered court costs. If you lose, you have to pay the patent troll. It sounds bad, but trolls would then face a furious fight every time.
>There's plenty bad with the DMCA and how companies use and abuse it to be against it, but it can also be used for good.

yeah, we protested back in the day because the DMCA made it illegal to decrypt DVD's with DeCSS, which, to this day, is why you cannot watch DVD's legally in Linux without paying someone. For our protest, we actually printed out the code to DeCSS and handed it out to people saying "This piece of paper is illegal, you cannot read this piece of paper." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeCSS

The DMCA did a lot of stuff like this. It essentially laid the groundwork for future Internet and IP laws. It was the first law to address the content of the Internet, so it was a bit of a landmark.

The clause that's in there that ended up protecting me was where the DMCA states that service providers cannot be held accountable for the things their users say. Huge, awesome bit, that. Definitely a serious 20/20 hindsight thing. I can play DVD's on my Linux machine now, too... Though not legally, really.
Fraud really hasn't been an issue, at least as far as we've been alerted to it. We hold the credits until the buyer confirms receipt and that the game works, so anyone sending out fake games would need to make them pretty convincing.

So what happens if Alice sends Bob a legit game, but Bob claims it's a fake? Didn't Bob just get a game for free?

Yes, learning to code is so much easier than a couple awkward conversations. Even knowing how to code iOS apps, I'd rather pay other people to do it.

You can get all upset about the developers business accumen or you can be happy you got an app done in a week for $800.

Welcome to China, everything is negotiable.
I think your missing a huge one. Taxes, hotels in major city's often send 10+$ a day to the local government. And before people complain about this that money often pays for things like museums and convention centers which is why many people are going to the city in the first place.

Apple has been hostile to hackers for my entire lifetime. From suing makers of mac-compatible hardware, through refusing to license their iPod DRM to other sellers, and the unprecedented closedness of the iPhone walled garden, to the ludicrous design patent lawsuit against Samsung. They've always been the enemy of anyone who was paying attention, and this latest move is no worse than what they've done before. I'd like to believe the tech community will turn against them, but the history just doesn't support this.

You can already buy general legal insurance so why would not be sufficient ?
From a quick scan of what I think is likely the HOA rules (http://valenciahoa.com/admin/uploads/r&r.pdf), you can't have sub-30 day leases. I'm not sure this is the right HOA, but from the Google Street View, the logos are the same.
I went to waterloo, I wanted to add a little more insight to your comment.

the system you gave is correct, but there is a little nuance to it. when you are on your academic term, around midterm time you have to find your job for the next term (assuming you don't continue your previous term's job). so during midterms you are studying like mad and interviewing like a pro to make next term work. its not easy, but you become extremely adept at interviews (trial by fire) and editing your resume. Also you get used to shrugging off rejection.

funny is if you get the Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, or Facebook job. Your next term you can pretty much get a job at any of the others.

another scary tidbit at UW, is the level of talent around you. I can't tell you how many times my mind has been blown away by another person's ability to make some impossible assignment/task look like a cake walk. so its really hard to be arrogant at UW. I remember feeling like I can leap tall bounds in a single stride, but everyone else seems to just fly.
This sounds like an amazing experience. You paid $800 for an app which was done quickly and is in the app store. You changed the ui after development had begun and there was no extra charge. Holding the code hostage for the review was sketchy on the devs side but otherwise I don't understand how it could have gone better.
Help Freshplum solve hard problems in e-commerce
Several aspects you may want to consider on UK vs US:

- the population density of the UK as a whole is about 7x greater. The US has really got a lot of space that could still be built on.

- there is limited reason to live in Las Vegas unless you work in hospitality (although there has been a recent boom- and bust-cycle).

- housing market tends to be more divergent in the US than in the UK: it's more likely you can find some city that's relatively cheap.
Interesting idea, but I see 3 major problems:

1) Voting on each others work introduces perverse incentives when money is involved. It also potentially undermines the very spirit of community which Assembly is trying to capitalize on. Instead of having to judge each other a couple times a year (in a traditional peer review), we're constantly judging each other and thinking about how we'll be judged.

2) I think the 5% reward unfairly justifies the notion that ideas are worth something. They're worth maybe 1% (at most) of most startup success. Success comes from persistence, execution, and luck. Reaffirming the notion that "idea people" are worth much doesn't help anyone.

3) Big, boring, important tasks will likely never get accomplished due to the incentive structure. Every community member can only give one point to a contribution. (https://assemblymade.com/help/profits#profits-2) So that massive implementation you made that laid the groundwork for the entire backend will only get 1 point from each other developer. (And the number of people in the particular "community" qualified enough to understand this kind of work isn't large enough for crowds to work well.) So instead people are incentivized to do lots of quick & simple front-endy tasks.

All together, the politics of this really worry me.
I have a good feeling that there will be some text as well. :) FWIW we imagine that field replacements will be less common and simply run with 'dead drives' will be more common.

Incidentally, because the drive is moving to a key/value model vs. sectors it means that the useful life of the device will be much better. This is because the device can manage bad sectors itself vs having that be the responsibility of the filesystem. So the drive would just report lower % capacity.
Sadly there are people who would use a tool like this to make decisions like what to pay their employees. I guessed based on the title that you might fall into that camp. Glad to hear I was wrong.

I could imagine search with some standards (commit message format, branch/rebase strategies, requiring an associated tickets) would be really effective, though not so much the general case. Hope you can share in a follow up post if you find ways to deal work around these problems.

Plus you got to play with trains.
Reminds me of the early days of Microsoft FrontPage. Make some hand modifications to the html and accidentally move something.

Then stare in terror as all of your work just disappears.
Man its depressing, its been a year post graduation and all my friends have moved to Silicon Valley, I'm working on a start up so I stayed, but its really hard when literally every technical person you used to chill with has moved out.
It wasn't just "someone", it was Mark Shuttleworth taking time out of his day to attack the person in a public blog post. That's pretty major no matter which way you look at it.
