"how does R do the things it does so well?"

R is a vector/array-based language which fits the problems of its domain in a natural way. On the other hand, you wouldn't really want to use such a language for anything else then data munching.

The language has it's flaws but those are well described, e.g., in "The R Inferno" (http://www.burns-stat.com/documents/books/the-r-inferno/).

I don't work at Google, so you won't see any proofs out of me (nor of course you'd see any if I did work at Google).

But sooner or later, the browsing habits out of the two active accounts are bound to converge pretty well. Remember you've been tracked not just when you post comments, but on every page out there that has a "+1" button. Then, there will be some close friends who'd be connected on both accounts.

In addition both your real and fake account are very likely to be accessed from the same set of IPs or subnets, locations and time slices.

This may sound complicated, but this sort of mining is just an extension of spam filtering techniques (to which at this point Google invested many millions), and requires zero human intervention. And since it can be done and there is an incentive for Google to do it, it will be done.
I heard that PrimeSense wanted like $2B a couple years ago, from Microsoft. Sounds like they came down . . . :-)
That's not entirely accurate. I blame high turnover. When no engineer is left to fight for their pet causes, AOL and Microsoft happen. Hell I attribute MS' decline more to turnover from very key players (one could out Bill Gates himself in this camp) more than any other metric. Having been at a very small shop to see this first hand, I notice it everywhere. Places don't bother to get new developers to really care enough to take ownership anymore. Its a burden they hope magically happens and never does.
I guess the real reason could be that they try to sell ads on YouTube to advertisers with a competitive rate (compared to popular episodes) because they now can reach the targeted audience directly. The integration is somehow a "solid" evidence to advertisers.
And, given the abysmal quality of YouTube comments, it's seems very reasonable to think the platform will be better off without anonymous comments.

As it stands, it's just proof of the Greater Internet F-wad Theory [1].

Does anyone have experience running a mail server on a home connection with a dynamic IP?

I'm imagining a system that will have a homebox (long term storage, privacy) and a cloudbox
(provides availability) and the mail flow will be like this:

sender ---(1)---> cloudbox ---(2)---> homebox

Assuming cloud stays up (1) will happen, and if homebox is reachable, then (2) will also happen. However, if (2) can't be done, then cloudbox will temporarily hold the email until homebox comes online (POP mail style).

Has anyone ever setup something like this before? Any pointers will be appreciated.

Look, this isn't a new issue. Lots and lots of us have been getting increasingly dissatisfied with Google for years. But each problem is isolated and hasn't made much of a ripple in the wider world...

Is it a big deal to me that Google messed up their automated AdWords "publisher" interaction script, and cut off my income for a few weeks? Why yes, yes it is... but that doesn't mean that anyone else cares about that. Even if Google's generally poor supplier relations affects a lot of people (and it does), there's never enough of them for it to affect Google, the brand.

Same goes for any number of other Google problems. Did the "nym wars" cause lots of disaffection amongst Google users? Yes, but again not enough. Did adding lots of pointless JavaScript to search results pages piss off a lot of people? How about the fact that search results are much less specific/useful than they used to be? Unilateral changes to the privacy policy? Or Google Reader? Code Search? Etcetera, etcetera...

Google have created a huge amount of simmering resentment over the last few years. So, once an issue like this starts to get some traction, there are a lot of people ready to wait in line to put the boot in.
Bodies hanging from bridge in Mexico are warning to social media users (2011)
Thanks, this is useful—the comments especially so.

It's a shame there isn't one for reverse (HTTP) proxies: fine tuning proxy settings: proxy_buffers, buffering, etc, and other related settings when dealing with a back end application.
I am a Google Apps paying customer, I've always liked their products (heck, I even have a Google+ account) and I've always defended them, but their moves are breaking the camel's back.

Just today I received a message from Google Hangouts on my Android, asking me if I want Hangouts to manage my SMS messages. The 2 available answers were:

[Maybe Later] [Yes, I'm In]

For everything they ask these days, those are the only 2 available answers. And you just know that if you won't accept willingly, they'll just shove it down your throat sooner or later.

Right now my trust in them is being eroded and fast. I'm already thinking of completely deleting my entire Google account and switching to alternatives. Google, if you're listening to this, just stop it.
why? languages like ruby etc dont even have universally defined behaviour - there is no spec etc, just a reference implementation.
Dependencies, unfortunately I am forced to use it, because it's just there in the code used by someone few years ago.

Plugins are not the reason and fortunately it is changing already, because UI/UX feature developers do not want to be jQuery plugin vendors anymore, they want to promote their stuff under their own brand.
Somewhat relevant to the debate on permitting anonymous comments.
> Google needs to make it much clearer that signing up to a Google account gives you access to all Google services.

Perhaps this comes from different expectations. When I signed up with google this is exactly what I expected, to have access to every service they offered at that time and all future services.

> (i.e. don't create an empty Google+ site for me unless I opt-in to using that service).

This one I can see more (although I'm not sure quite what happens here, I'd need to create a new account and have a look).

I already had two separate identities. I repeatedly told Google I wanted them kept separate. Google merged them.

There's no clear way for me to undo the damage. Screenshots I've posted for my YouTube configuration preferences don't show what other's equivalent shots do. I'm, frankly, not interested in jumping through hoops to get what Google might offer by way of account segregation now, and change its mind on in another 3, or 6, or 24, or 72 months. Clearly I cannot trust it to respect my specifically indicated wishes, and clearly, the company doesn't respect its users (in many ways, I've detailed these elsewhere including on HN).

Oh, and both identities are pseudonymous. And I studiously avoided circling anyone I knew IRL to avoid outing myself. Never posted photos I'd actually taken, carefully edited screenshots to avoid showing revealing information (though I likely left in a few clues that would help narrow down my identity). Don't mention where I live, where I work, or how I spend my time.

Simply because my preference is to be able to speak freely and discuss things, though really, the "why" shouldn't matter. I simply prefer it this way.

I think I subconsciously wrote that as most of the commenter names would indicate they were indeed, men.

Or that I thought "people" in my native language and went with a poor translation in my head.

Or, I'm a douchebag with an anti-women agenda, funded by several organizations. Spreading my idea that women should not be allowed on the internet as you just figured out as a smart person you are.

Who knows.
First off thanks for the comment!

Totally agree, was a quick blog post and re-reading now, not the best I have ever written.

The sentiment I was trying to get a across was more the intention / attitude when making things.

I have spent a lot of life working for clients that didn't have a strong vision. I took the work, because I have a mortgage to pay and told myself that I could TRY and show them that we didn't need to build this mediocre thing. That they were better than that. That we could do more together.

Often times, that wasn't the case. I got paid to make a crappy website or app, and I did it.

I have a new found feeling that I will simply choose not to do that anymore. I work at an amazing startup and luckily have an exec team that lets me make un-crappy things. But I speak to a lot of people who aren't so lucky.

I just want us to re-calibrate.

I feel that a lot of founders, hackers, marketers example are looking for the quick buck, the easiest way to fame and fortune even if that means not really doing something worthwhile.

I am ranting again... I will stop. I do appreciate the feedback though. All the best.

Practical question for all those JS/CSS hackers:
Can we do something like this extension for YT: Disqus comments on any site (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/60946)

Imagine then, switching from disqus to a p2p-distributed comment system on the whole internet?!
I suppose there are not enough of us to make that worthwhile? I quit buying Apple and complain bitterly in any thread about them in hopes of creating more open computing advocates.
If Google wanted to offer combined accounts going forward, that would be fine by me. Though I'd also prefer the option of disaggregated accounts, and of disabling specific services on accounts.

If they wanted to offer the option of merging existing accounts for which there was an underlying connection, that would also be fine. Though I'd really prefer they not do it with interstitials.

Merging identities in express violation of stated intent, or simply not offering the option to decline, is simply wrong, and will inevitably turn into a major PR disaster, as this is.
So no proofs, got it.

btw, I agree that Google will try to correlate account data. That has obvious business value. But it is not obvious at all that Google will flag accounts based on this correlation. That was your statement I was arguing against, not practical possibility of matching various accounts to the same owner.
Kissing someone who doesn't want to be kissed is sexual assault! I don't understand how you can be denying that? It definitely definitely is sexual assault. If you want to kiss somebody and you want to not sexually assault them, you have to ask them first. And you have to give them room to say no and consider the social power you have over them. Did this person do that? No, absolutely not. If you don't think this stuff is important then it's because you're obviously a man who has never had to deal with this kind of stuff.

And even if for some reason, you feel so strongly that the definition of sexual assault should not include the incident you're talking about, and you don't have any problem with taking away the power of survivors to define their experiences as sexual assault, then okay, fine, you can have your own private definition of sexual assault. But do you really think that's the most important thing here? You obviously have no empathy for the survivor at all. The “dumb guy” doesn't deserve to have his life ruined? Maybe, maybe not, but you shouldn't worry about it, because only 3% of rapes ever punished anyway.[1] But it's not about the perpetrator, it's about the survivor. Does she deserve to have her life ruined? Of course she doesn't, because she's done nothing wrong (fuck you for victim blaming). But this could have ruined her life, and maybe it did (I don't know her, I don't know).

And by the way, "escalat[ing] an existing sexual situation" are just your weasel words for "crossing boundaries without permission". You always have to ask permission, and it's not hard to do so, and it's nice as well. If you're not a rapist, then you don't want to cross people's boundaries, so you don't want to do something if the other person doesn't want to. You might want to read the definition of rape-mindedness.[2]

Thanks for proving my point.

>They produce no cost-benefit analysis of G+ YT integration

What? Few of us work at Google. We don't have the numbers. And even if we did, we can't predict what the outcome of the backlash and bad PR will be. Maybe it will be like the times people got upset at Facebook, which didn't really change much[1]. Maybe it will be like when people got upset at Digg and it basically killed the site.

I don't see people getting particularly emotional here. I'm not sure you know what emotional looks like. This is emotional: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccxiwu4MaJs (Note: she managed to get her issues fixed in the end)

[1] I would note that the Facebook privacy issues were things that didn't really affect 99% of users, for most people the information that leaked didn't matter and the people probably didn't notice. The YouTube situation is a bit different because as well as the privacy concerns (which I think alone wouldn't be enough to have any lasting impact) there is also the fact that the switch over was completely bungled and has resulted in people turning off comments on their videos because the new system has so many problems: hugely long comments, allowing outside links, ranking comments based on how much response they get (i.e. moving trolls to the top).
When a HDD died on a server I have there it was replaced in under 1 hour...
You're right in that much of the complaining arises from the new comment system - which is probably better than what came before, you could hardly make the old system any worse - and is futile. The issues of privacy intrusion, though, are valid, and will not go away.
I've not tried the above -- but there shouldn't be any problem with it (although if you control both servers, you might as well not use smtp from 1 to 2). If you want to do this, you could also just try and keep your dns ttl reasonably low, and updated, and recieve stmp straight at home -- after all:

"The sender MUST delay retrying a particular destination after one
attempt has failed. In general, the retry interval SHOULD be at
least 30 minutes; however, more sophisticated and variable strategies
will be beneficial when the SMTP client can determine the reason for
non-delivery.

Retries continue until the message is transmitted or the sender gives
up; the give-up time generally needs to be at least 4-5 days."

Most Hacker Schoolers find shared living arrangements (i.e., they usually sublet a room in an apartment).

The total cost depends on your circumstances (e.g., if you have student loans, dependents, etc), but if you're only supporting yourself and are willing to live cheaply, you can do it on $5 to 6k (this number is based on an informal poll of our students I did a few batches ago; it's also what I personally live off of during a batch).

Seriously. About all they do is branding.
To over-generalize wildly: two classes of people want anonymity on the net:

* Those who want the freedom to abuse others anonymously

* Those who want the freedom from abuse conferred by anonymity

The debate over G+/YouTube or Facebook is usually framed in the context of the first group, because the desire and willingness to perpetrate abuse is often a sign of social privilege (lack of fear of consequences).

But those who want to evade abuse are usually drawn from the ranks of the under-privileged (who vastly out-number the privileged, but whose voices are seldom heard).

A hint as to why their voices go unheard: the billionaire founders of Google and Facebook, and their stock-option-endowed highly-paid subordinates, are not exactly under-privileged. And neither are the entrepreneurial politicians who shape internet law.

It's a growing class divide, and the Mexican drug gang murders are just one of the more drastic symptoms.
Google Glass? How about this Home-brew Solution?
Are you arguing that that is a good thing?
But there's the rub: comments aren't that valuable to anyone in the game but the commenters. No major YouTuber are moving off YouTube for a different uploader. Or even considering it. The biggest moves popular YouTubers have done are disabling comments. Google own the monetization of web video, so content providers won't leave. YouTube comments were already shit, so converting that shit into Google+ shit will at least help Google+. And if people disable comments, Google still get the views and gets to move the headache of dealing with YouTube comments to someone else (obviously if done in mass to a single discussion site this may be a problem for Google, but it is currently far too disjointed to matter much). From Google's perspective, the new comment system is a win-win situation.
I think this is the nub of it: "the very small squeaky obnoxiously loud minority".

Most people really don't like being preached at, and the agile community is very preachy. They're also very certain that agile is best practice, while everything else is cowboy.

I'm confident at this point that a sizeable chunk of the agile mantra is pretty poor practice. TDD, for example, definitely seems worse than actually using your human intelligence to plan ahead and design.

I don't necessarily agree with this article. I think most programmers do want and benefit from some degree of collaboration on problems. Mostly at the start when they're figuring out what they should actually build. I certainly sympathise with it though. Sometimes I just wish agilists would shut up and go away.
I'm entirely confused by this. I have my G+ account linked with youtube. Just now I unlinked them, and changed the visible name from one that was obviously mine to a more anonymous name and posted a comment with absolutely no issue.

No picture, no name, no link to me. And this is from after linking the accounts and then unlinking them (which took under a minute to do and was pretty easy to find).
The accounts weren't "already linked". They shared some metadata. I was asked if I wanted to link them. I responded "no". Multiple times.

Persisting when someone says "no" is at best, disrespect, at worst abuse and, in the right contexts, rape.

Oh, did I mention I'd organized an ad-hoc anti-harassment policy discussion on G+ at the suggestion of Yonatan Zunger? Irony, it's got an enduring entertainment value.

Oddly enough, I was fine with a G+ account, in fact, that's pretty much the only part of Google I'd been using any more. The YouTube account was just to access videos, and I'd pretty much gotten used to purging its history regularly.

The actual harm to me? Pretty little. Both accounts were pseudonymous. For other people, not nearly so little.

And the message on Google's respect for its users and trustworthiness? Loud and clear: nil and nil.
