Was this when you initially got the phone or did you set it up and delete the account later on? Last I tried you can set up the phone and use it with no Google account, but once you add one you can't remove it without resetting to factory defaults.
I've always been on the "nothing-to-hide" side, but this is a very compelling argument.
I don't do this with well-known sites like Google and Twitter, but sometimes I deliberately search a website's name even when I think I know what its URL is. This helps me avoid landing on a similar but unrelated -- and possibly fraudulent -- website, especially if the website I'm looking for uses an unconventional domain name. Too often, it's impossible to remember whether the startup I just heard about uses .com, .net, .io, getname.com or nameapp.com.

Fortunately, with modern browsers, the difference is only between typing "websitename" in the address bar and typing "websitename.TLD" in the same bar. So if I'm not 100% sure what your TLD is, I just hit Enter and the browser shows me the search results.

Add me to the unusually unlucky then. And all the guys I work with, or ever have worked with. At some point it becomes difficult to dismiss this opinion as 'someone who was unlucky'.
Canesta. I looked into their stuff before the Kinect came out. I am no expert in the field, but I thought their time-of-flight sensor is really clever. Basically, the speed of light is too fast to get an accurate ToF measurement within living-room distances using timers. So they use a technique where the intensity of the reflected IR is directly proportional to the ToF. Since you can measure intensity with much more accuracy and precision (and ease) than the time taken for light to travel a few meters, you get a pretty accurate 3D point cloud of the space being sensed. I can't find their white paper that explains this, but it's a good read.
I've seen that same spam, and I rarely look at youtube comments. Unless I'm extremely lucky to have seen the exact same comments, this is a widespread problem and proves that even trivial filtering is not being used to block rampant spam.
I'd say perhaps especially in front-end, knowledge is much more important than analytic skill. Most of the challenges I face in html and css seem to be more about hacks to get something to work as desired than about properly reasoning about the problem.

In fact, this is the primary reason I'm trying to move away from 'vanilla' front-end to more heavy js or backend stuff.
I think it's important to point out that the targets of people operating under the second category think that it falls under the first category.

In short: drug cartels no doubt think that they are being abused when people criticize them online. Any ability to stop "true" abuse is almost guaranteed to also help stop "abuse" targeted at bad people.
I never truly understood why Google shipped 4.4 with two SMS apps.

Hangouts is cool, it lacks some features of the old SMS app like notification bar options. That's annoying, features shouldn't be stripped like that.

Sure, you wouldn't respond well if it was forced on you. But what if you tried it sincerely? What if your whole team said, "this week we're going to try an experiment." Don't nitpick or naysay, just try it and see. Your use of the word "would" is very telling that you haven't tried.
I don't think this has anything to do with Apple TV or gestures on tablets. IMO, those are gimmicky applications of the technology that look cool but aren't practical on a daily basis. My guess is that Apple is making an augmented reality play, hedging that Google Glass will be successful and they'll have to compete with them. Infrared motion tracking has a lot greater potential to be successful in augmented reality versus the single camera setup Glass uses.

>Yep, you for one, didn't provide any cost-benefit analysis of YT G+ integration in this discussion, concentrating only on the negative outcomes.

I feel like I'm repeating myself here (and perhaps this is a point that Googlers will never grasp, 42 shades of blue and all that) but many things can't meaningfully be expressed as a cost-benefit analysis. In this case, if you had asked me before the switch to come up with a cost benefit analysis (assuming I worked at Google and had the data) I could probably have come up with some figures, but the size of the errors would have been so huge as to make the exercise pointless.

Are you arguing that people sat in Google and seriously believed they were able to accurately quantify the cost of a huge raft of negative articles across the mainstream media and a bunch of the most popular users of the site shutting off their comments or leaving the site? (Assuming they even predicted the possibility of that happening). I just don't believe anybody can put a cost on that in advance. If that is really how decisions are made in Google then it is hardly surprising that their brand is so damaged.

Throwing around numbers is easy. It doesn't make the numbers right or relevant.

The OP clearly doesn't believe that he has a responsibility to teach those around him to be better. Imagine that you were the CEO of a company that had one great programmer and four average ones. Don't you think the CEO would want the great one to spread some of his/her knowledge? Now, imagine you were one of the four average developers, wouldn't it seem crazy that you sit three feet away from a great developer but never learn anything from him/her?

Do we want this to be an industry where only the self taught succeed? I don't. I believe there are still some things that I can learn from others. I believe I am obligated to help those around me get better- it should be part of the job description. Pair programming, if it does nothing else, does open up what is normally a solitary activity and gives people a chance to learn from others.
You are falling right into the trap of dismissing all non-agile PP people as 'cowboys'. Its unfair to go from 'don't want to spend the day explaining myself to a newbie and disrupting my train of though' to 'total introvert loose cannon'
I was forget that factory reset method. That's the only way to delete the last Google account.
The only problem I have with an analyzed/conditional tax system is the legitimacy of the party in charge of collecting it.

Everyone can nod their heads at taxing vehicles more than bicycles, but if that additional government income goes into tax breaks for certain corporations, or bad social policies (everyone thinks there's one!).

This is why I enjoy flat taxes, so we can focus more on the policies that money provides, rather than siderail that discussion with debates on what those taxes should be.

Obviously we should implement policies that become less expensive with time, but hearing that the Netherlands has a 21% tax rate on moped repair is insane. What does that money directly contribute to? The military? Tax breaks?

With flat sales taxes we can focus directly on policy. Everyone is equal in terms of the percentage of product consumers must pay in taxes, for their product.
There's nothing about TDD that prevents you from "using your human intelligence to plan ahead and design". I really don't understand why so many people think that.

The main point of TDD is organically "growing" modular and testable code. Also, after a session, you have unit and function tests for free, instead of having to implement them afterwards. Having a plan from the start, however, is beneficial with TDD as well, as long as you're flexible enough to modify it if necessary.
Frontiers for Young Minds - science edited for kids, by kids
Probably not. I think that battle is over

I enjoy the pragmatic stance of Anand on the matter http://www.chessquotes.com/player-anand :

There are some things we do much better than computers, but since most of chess is tactically based they do many things better than humans. And this imbalance remains. I no longer have any issues. It’s bit like asking an astronomer, does he mind that a telescope does all the work. He is used to it. It is just an incredible tool that you can use.
You're right, anything's bad if it's forced on a team or applied dogmatically.

(Also I'd edit the last sentence to read proscriptively rather than historically: "Pair programming shouldn't be an iron dictate..." since that's really more interesting.)
"It will be nearly impossible to determine if the two victims actually posted anything about cartels on the Internet, as people don't usually use their real names online, he said."

Its been more than two years, was anything ever determined?

There are so many permutations based on what actually happened that I don't think any conclusions can be drawn.

Were they innocent civilians? Wouldn't be the first time. Were they in a rival gang basically informing on some other gang who "got" them? Wouldn't be the first time. Targeted for other reasons that the gang doesn't want made public (hmm maybe dude was banging the gang leaders girlfriend for years behind his back, so they both end up dead? Or stole from a gang and got away for years, finally tracked down and punished?) Wouldn't be the first time.

Only one thing is certain, a classic old media company posted a FUD story about new media. Who ever would have guessed that could happen LOL?
You are underestimating how much work jQuery does for you.

What will happen with the price of bitcoin if quantum computer with enough q-bits will be invented?
You've missed the point entirely. That comment was about the nature of the content posted. Facebook, snapchat, et al are essentially click-click-clicking through pages heavy on visual stimulation and interacting through short bursts of text, now video and images too. HN is about reading and formulating arguments and exchanging walls of text in an environment completely free of visual distraction.

The type of person who tends towards HN will be different from the type of person who tends towards something like Snapchat on the above grounds.

Surely it's not difficult to imagine why some people would feel uncomfortable with a social network managing their text messages? I know I would.
If credit cards are so secure, why there are databases of usable credit cards all over the internet?

The protocol is secure, the people and computers using it are not so much, if you get the public/private key of the wallet (that must be there for you to make transactions) you get control of that wallet.

The same could be said about Tor, that even the NSA couldn't attack, so went after the other software their users were running and planting backdoors.
And it draws into question whether bitcoins can be a useful currency. Can you trade fractional bitcoins? I'm ignorant on the subject, but if not, well carrying around $500 bills is pretty limiting.
That's dead late, I don't know of any PCIe based mining rigs any more... they're all USB by now.

Yet the investment isn't totally worthless, as LTC miners can use it.
I think oleganza is referring to the fact a new block should be generated roughly every 10 minutes, and until the transaction has been confirmed you can attempt a double-spend.
Wireless Attacks With Python: Part One
R was, apparently, inspired by S (a stats language) and Scheme. Scheme is an extremely elegant language, which also served in part as the inspiration for Javascript. It's somewhat amusing that two so poorly designed languages have been inspired by one of the best.

As the above suggests I don't hold R the language in much esteem. What it had was familiarity for people who had used S, and now, years and years of accumulated libraries. I don't believe there were any technical features in R that led to success. It was purely social: a free and open source language that was close enough to an already familiar tool.

Exactly. If anything I think that there's a certain level of habitat healthiness that is taken on a subconscious level. People regulate their own numbers one way or another at some point (hopefully).

Maybe when/if Japan is half of it's current population (http://japandailypress.com/people-prediction-tokyo-populatio...) [Tokyo's in 2100], then we'll see that number start to grow again.

Not much. Zero-confirmation transactions are quite hard to revert, so they are widely accepted for small instant purchases.

Here's how you normally do it: send a transaction with fairly recent inputs with a zero mining fee. If you are lucky, it will propagate slowly and will reach the merchant sooner than 50% of the network nodes see it. When the merchant sees your transaction, he ships you the product, then you immediately send out double-spending transaction with standard mining fees (sent to your own address). It will propagate much faster and probably will end up mined before the first one.

Fraud with zero-confirmed transactions is most likely in some fully-automated schemes like lotteries, where repeated attempts to reverse the payment pay off immediately.
Eben Moglen's arguments are quite convincing. His talk titled "Die Gedanken Sind Frei"[1] really strengthened my convictions in favor of free software.

I don't understand that argument.
If I use Facebook, it's easy to see when I log on/off to profile my usage (and possibly employment / holiday trends). If many of the people I speak to are young or gay or work in finance, doesn't that imply something about me?
I am not a fan of this Google policy (it leaves me very uncomfortable) and I support the protests. But, as far as I can see, I can opt out without being marginalized. That's the bit of your argument I cAnt understand.
Your argument, to me, appears to be that Google shouldn't be allowed to link you and your opinions to your real name. I'd argue "why not?" I don't use Facebook, etc for this very reason - I don't want to be profiled with the depth that Facebook allows. Am I marginalized? Not that I'm aware.
yes, you can trade or buy the tiniest amount (fraction) of bitcoin.

-0.01 BTC = 1 cBTC = 1 centibitcoin (also referred to as bitcent)

-0.001 BTC = 1 mBTC = 1 millibitcoin (also referred to as mbit (pronounced em-bit) or millibit or even bit mill)

-0.000 001 BTC = 1 μBTC = 1 microbitcoin (also referred to as ubit (pronounced yu-bit) or microbit)

-0.000 000 01 BTC = 1 satoshi (pronounced sa-toh-shee)
10 minutes is a rough guideline on how long it takes the network to confirm a payment, and verify that a transaction is not a double-spend or otherwise invalid. For large payments you'd want to wait longer because a theoretical attacker would have more incentive and resources to construct a double-spend.
Simple Copywriting Strategies For Your Business
It is insane that chess is a worldwide sport/game and still Carlsen only made about $1.2 million USD last year(a lot for me and anyone else I know but for a professional competitor it is quite low). For a sport that a billion people watch you'd think there would be a lot more sponsorships, media attention, etc.
It seems professional eating has more invested in it.

Most probably, quantum computer will not be invented overnight. Hash functions are not seriously vulnerable, but ECDSA signatures are. Fortunately, most funds are sitting on never-used addresses which are basically the hashes of the public keys, which are not instantly crackable by a quantum computer. People will probably have time to switch to a new signature method which is resistant to QC. Like Lamport Signatures, for instance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_signature

The price will dip, but may recover pretty quickly, like when the famous v0.7/v0.8 fork that happened this March.

If the Bitcoin can't be fixed and becomes unusable, its value will instantly become zero and everyone's savings in it will become permanently lost.

In a good pairing session, you are almost unaware that there's any social interaction going on. You and your pair are both in the zone, applying more than double the brainpower to the problem. The old saying is true, two heads are better than one. The only reason it's not effective with more than two is that the realtime communication breaks down.
Why don't you use ALTER TABLE to alter a table?
Agreed. In fact you have to be an incredibly strong player (2600+) to not be wiped off the board in around 20 moves these days. The Bulgarian cheater who was recently banned regularly crushed GMs - it was scary.
Isn't Hangouts a G+ feature?
> best non-back-end solution ... It's probably best to fix these before they even get to the browser.

Sure. But if you want to do this before "they even get to the browser", it's not going to be a "non-back-end solution". Anything that happens before your content gets to the browser is back-end by definition.

If you control the blogging software and/or the template, it would be trivial to replace the last space with &nbsp; when rendering the page. Good ol' string manipulation, maybe a regexp or two. No need for JavaScript. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody already wrote a WordPress plugin to do this.
there are many places
www.chessbase.com has great reporting with in depth analysis and photos.
and
www.chessbomb.com has live coverage with GM analysis.
All these kinds of chess sites offer js boards so you can step thru the moves and the analysis.
And there is analysis on youtube. This tends to be of uneven quality tho. I recommend powerplay chess channel with Adrian King - a GM.

Because if that's all that's available in their home market that's what they'll buy. When a line of products becomes entrenched, trying to enter such a market is tough. I'm not even talking about developing world markets. The iPhone sells poorly in South Korea for example and it's not because Koreans like Samsung (most people in SK don't like Samsung).

iPhones should be an easy sell with an appearance oriented audience willing to spend large sums of disposable income on imported expensive goods almost to the point of insanity and bankruptcy, yet iPhones are so rare you can spend days in the heart of Seoul and count the iPhones you see on one hand.

You ask the typical South Korean why they aren't snatching up iPhones? It's the arguments I've already presented: too small, not enough features, etc. They feel like they're buying a phone from 2 or 3 generations ago, not a modern forward looking device.

I'm glad the backlash is too much to ignore. They are getting way too annoying and invasive. I don't want my real name linked to my YouTube activity, I don't want to be forced onto the still sub-par Google+ service (so they can inflate their user count), I don't want to be forced to sign into Google Chrome to have all my private data pushed to the cloud, and I don't want to be in any other way tricked or robbed of choice. It's not like I would've made the choice anyway, and this is just them saying get over it, I (and most it would seem) would literally not want to do these things.

Google+'s strategy is starting to look as seedy as Zynga's, and perhaps even more annoying. It seems like they are using confusion to get everyone to unknowingly and unwilling sign up for Google+ for YouTube (etc), and this is unacceptable. Their practices were questionable before, but this is outright wrong.

On a slightly related note, I'm annoyed to see that Google+ hasn't really gone anywhere. Some may argue otherwise, but I still sign onto the service, then wonder what to do next. There's nothing to do, and there's no point to it. They need to add more features that people want to use and that people have a use for (like Hangouts, I guess). What's the point of forcing 1 billion users onto a service on which they can do nothing but sit? To claim that you have as many users as Facebook? For shame Google.
Watch what you post here. I would hate to see a future "Show HN" with a link to a dead hacker hanging from a bridge.
In my experience pairing works best when it forces you to focus. If you have only a two or three hour pairing session with someone, you're going to make sure you use it effectively. You're right, sitting next to someone all day long is a waste.
