It's tough to do anything because what if the suit was false?

You can't just assume the suer is correct and deserves protection.

There is a right for someone to face their accuser, and you can't make them pay just because they were accused.

For the money issue there are charities that do help. Regarding the name part perhaps a judge can seal or redact the record?
Odd. This looks like a duplicate submission from the exact same URL.

That's the exact same problem we had, and all of our potential clients had. We want to make it easier to use, more accessible.

We talked to 3 types of customers. The non-technical were largely disinterested. We're still too early for that. Agencies were all over this for their clients though. Great feedback from them.

I am surprised that someone didn't injure the man, or worse.
Thanks for pointing this out. This was a post we pushed earlier, we weren't quite ready to open the doors yet.

This post is a more comprehensive overview of what we're trying to do.
In my observation, it is not enough for most people. They need an economic reason as well. Besides, the amount of mercury in a modern CFL is not all that bad as long as you don't try to vacuum it up and.

Disclaimer: I'm sort of a chemist, so let's just say I've been around far, far worse than a few milligrams of mercury. I do have a healthy respect for safety hazards, and am very cautious, but I don't have a strong immediate inclination to avoid small amount of mercury (or DMF, or THF, or paint thinner, or...) outright as too risky.
The article mentions Portland as an example of city planning which encourages interaction and social cohesion. Are there any other examples that spring to mind for U.S. cities? I'm looking to relocate and this is high on the list for me.
Whoa. I'm talking about giving out your children to strangers just by signing a piece of paper; though I'd be willing to bet against your assumption, it is said that adopted children are more prone to mental and behavioral issues.

In any case, that's what social services do, only after the fact instead of a pre-screening.
Yeah that happens to me too. Every week or two is probably the most frequent. I dont mind that, I know when we do meet up it will be fun! and in the meantime I can spend more time working on my many projects.
Though if I really feel like meeting up I will make a big effort and keep bugging them until we do.
I always feel that many in the U.S., by far my largest cultural exposure, consider a false stoicism as mature and wise. I find it closed and boring. Many may be doing this due to being rewarded for keeping your mouth shut and punished for sticking out. It also seems that too large of a percentage who don't do this are predators, in one way or another. This makes it worse.

The best place that I have found people to open up and be themselves within a day, is at a bar. Even if they just got there and have not had a bit to drink.

I find almost everyone interesting if they open up. I am an introvert by nature, so it doesn't bother me much. If I was more extrovert, I would probably be going mad.
I don't believe that at all. DPR got busted for posting total newbie questions on Stack Overflow, after all - and SN displayed a deep knowledge of secure coding and cryptography!
Great questions.

are you kidding? There could be no better roi. I don't even think a prize would be necessary. People are angry for many reasons, not the least of which is that no one got to see what they created. That just reduces everyone to a seat filler for the promo videos
Most of the stuff HTML5 did is either backwards compatible in real-world HTML4 browsers or simply impossible; like, you've pretty much always been able to just drop down random tags that will default to acting sort of like a div. Changing how links work would be pretty severe.
Ha ha - we quickly forget how the web USED to be.

Once a few clever souls realised they could increase their visibility by adding hidden words, they started appearing everywhere almost completely ruining any chance you had of finding something you want or need by searching due to all the false positives.

I know this arms race is still ongoing, but it's interesting to see back where we've been.
Jason Calacanis: The most effective way to grow a startup [video]
Thank you. But that computer entrepreneur's products do not interest me. In fact they have cost me countless hours of wasted time.

Another "computer entrepreneur" I know writes terse code. His company is on that db list. I'm not sure he has anything to say on the matter of LOC. He keeps his programs small and simple. As far as I'm concerned, that speaks for itself. And, if having the world's largest investment banks as loyal clients is any indication, his code is high quality. Anyway, I consider the code high quality.

Now, I cannot prove that LOC is related to quality, but I know several programmers whose software I like very much who have a keen appreciation for brevity. Keeping things small and simple tells me something about the mind of the programmer. Not to mention is saves me time: less to read. I like things small and simple.

Perhaps not all 'computer entrepreneurs' agree when it comes to software aesthetics.
But you're winocm. You're famous, dude. Just show a link to your github page / contributions to the iOS jailbreak community and I'm sure you'd get a fat scholarship.

It's fixed, thanks for pointing this out.
I'm at roughly 11 (based on real data) - higher than I'd like it to be.

But this whole question of how many hours we spend doing xyz, is something I've obsessed on since I left my previous job - been very curious about where all my time was going and how that changed. I went all out maintaining a minute by minute lifelog (http://david.achkar.com/life-log/), and one takeaway that's useful to mention here is that intuition about how I spent my time was often way off (vs what my data showed). It makes me doubt the accuracy of self reported numbers vs actuals

They're stuck in a hard place and an internal investigation is probably happening. This story will get worse before it gets better. I have a feeling that the story that they gave their partners a pass on the rules has credibility. Which means if they retract the 1st place, they get sued by them. and they get sued for essentially fixing the competition. The easiest out they didn't take. And it begs the question as to why

I emailed the site owner, Hunter Moore, and asked him to take down the photo in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He refused.

Would it be to much trouble for these people to learn how to use the DMCA properly? Obviously he is not going to turn his own web site off.
Agreed to some extent. I think certain types of governments would not allow that level of disengagement.
Huxley's Brave New World vs Orwell's 1984
I agree.

This looks too awkward to use, to accumulate middlewares only for a specific route,... Routes loading is just ridiculous actually, so much unneeded code in the example...
I was asking about the $60k issue. Why is it so expensve even in the most clear-cut case?

And it looks like charity really can't fill the void in this case.
allowing the user the host the resulting content themselves is not something we had thought about. We have however discussed the possibility of allowing bloggers and the like to 'embed' a trip into their own web page. thanks for your input and we will think about how we can implement your idea.
How was Gary Jones hacking those e-mail accounts?

How was Black Lotus blocking assets (pages, images) on Moore's website? And why was a security company he hired(?) working against him?
From what I've heard from writing podcasts, writing to the "current" trend is a fool's gambit because all those vampire books (for example) were purchased and in production for 1-4 years before they hit the shelves.

Each house also knows what the other ones have in production and they tend to stack their releases, like with movie studios.

In other words, there was probably a lot more hidden momentum behind Gladwell's books than anyone might admit or even recognize from the inside.
thank you, we will test further on that particular device
As a mark of respect, I agree. However languages don't work that way. I've changed my stance over the years to whatever works in the name of communication. Language is fluid so our attitude needs to be fluid too.
A somewhat related note is that America's culture of sex-negativity, shame and general hysteria around nudity is a required prerequisite for this type of bullying and abuse. Look at the following paragraph:

> Jill became hysterical, repeating, "Oh, my God. No. Oh, my God. No."

This is, obviously, the reaction of someone who fears repercussions from others. And this is for completely harmless acts (taking nude photos), which almost everyone does these days. And with good reason. Society in the US clamps down hard on people (women to a greater degree, but also men) who have the audacity to express their sexuality. That this expression was in no way intended for the public, makes no difference. Once it becomes publicly known, you are a slut (or a pervert) and harshly punished. Perverts are no good, and sluts are worse. This cultural norm is the only reason this type of shaming has any effect.

But really, we are all sluts and perverts. A good first step would be to go after the psychopaths who run campaigns like these. A good second step would be to abolish the cultural norms that allow sexuality and nudity to be used as a weapon.

If you look at "alternative" sexual societies like swingers' clubs or BDSM communities, you will often hear the word "pervert" or "slut" used in a positive sense, the way homosexuals are reclaiming literally every derogatory term used about their sexual identity. Most people in these communities are very aware and careful regarding the reactions of outside society if it became known what they do in their bedrooms, but the capability to make them feel bad about themselves for acts of nudity or sex is often completely absent.
also worth noting that a society of all farmers is also not stable!

Just like how honey bees produce an abundance of honey. The moment you have any kind of abundance, something will be created to take advantage of that abundance. Nature tries everything.
I'm new to programming, so I don't have much street cred. But I've heard others call LC "the assembly language of math"[1]. And I think functionals are really neat. So imho, I suspect LC's more than a formalism. But it drives me up the wall that it doesn't have an elegant subtraction analog. This leads me to believe there must be something better.

The answer sure can't be the Apple thing you mentioned. I imagine it's a just a gui, a kludge. But if not LC, then what do you think?

There's no way in hell Satoshi is anywhere connected to "DPR". Look at the OPSEC between the two. Satoshi carefully concealed his identity even in the early crypto mailing list days of Bitcoin. Ross Ulbricht failed at this completely throughout his underground career. Satoshi was a pretty good developer, Ulbricht posted to Stackexchange the most basic of php questions.

Satoshi seemed to be very aware of the power of gov agencies both in UK and US and the risks he was taking creating Bitcoin, a good example was his response to people back in 2010 who were calling for Wikileaks to accept Bitcoin donations. Ulbricht on the other hand foolishly underestimated them and would've cheered Wikileaks adoption. I don't recall Satoshi ever granting interviews and was hesitant to even reply to PMs on bitcointalk. He also didn't discuss politics, though you could infer from his hatred of central banking what his politics were he never spelled them out like Ulbricht did on a regular basis.

Not the same people
I've known this for a long time (years). However, the recognition tends to keep getting pushed aside by new insights or concerns about my latest project work and to the detriment of making lasting connections. Thank you for putting it in such a succinct form that I must take lasting notice of it.
Answer to the last question is: probably because he was crminal and an asshole and tech people tend to be disagreeable with that. Paying customer or not. We are not lawyers.
And sweet Sagan, that came out sounding a lot more clinical than I would like. At least that's probably just a product of exhaustion from several hours of karaoke with complete strangers. :)
The name certainly implies so.
Makes me wonder if we can trace the origins of Portland as a "blogger mecca" to this kind of planning.

I'm pretty familiar with the DMCA and I'm not 100% sure that I could keep it straight with the prospect of my personal and professional reputation crashing down around me because of some jackass illegally cracking into an account I owned and blasting out personal data.

Yeah, see my comment below. It was really amazing and life-affirming to meet my new friend 2 years ago, but if you just keep a baseline level of meeting new people I think its statistically likely you will meet one. This does mean u have to go to events and things with lots of people, but only once every few months + it can involve something you love like music or games or whatever.
thank you, we had actually recently discussed the idea putting more emphasis on the description of each place for those users who r looking for more of a journal. if we go down that road the user would probably want to include more information about each stop such as transportation mode, amount of time spent etc... useful comments mike which we will take on board :)

Unless these ruthless business men tortured, raped and murder people, then no, they did not do more damage than either of these two serial killers.

They may not have done so themselves but they paid people who did. Look at all the rape, torture and murder going on in places like Central African Republic. The place is loaded with mineral resources and yet the population starves and has to flee for their lives from press gangs and militias. Behind all of this you will find businessmen and politicians profiting immensely.

See my other reply.

In short (pun intended), it is part of the heuristics I have developed over the years for evaluating software.

I like small programs. That's not unheard of. I also look for programs that compile quickly and easily on more than one platform.

The latter is actually of practical significance, since I cannot as quickly and easily try new software if it will not compile without modifications, or if it takes too much memory or too much time. If it takes me longer to compile some userland program that it takes me to compile my kernel, I'm more likely to look for lighter weight alternatives.

Personally, I have not found popularity alone to be a reliable heuristic when it comes to software.
So true. I have three emails in my inbox right now, all from people that I haven't heard from in weeks or months, but only there because I made a point of following up for the sake of following up. Now we're back in touch and chatting again!

If I could figure out how to "scale" this correctly for my romantic relationships (and I emphasize the "balance" part), I'd be set.
Have you read any of her books?
Since we're obviously talking about a very determined scumbag, it'd be too easy to just host outside the US. Copyright law often does apply in this kind of situation, but it's still not a great solution. Need more attention to privacy rights.
> Sharing photographs (with proper attribution) is free marketing.

it can be, but that's a pretty large blanket statement. first, it's not free. it costs me something when a photo is used without an exchange of payment for a license to use that photo.

but even playing devil's advocate: marketing doesn't pay our mortgage. publicity doesn't put food on the table for my family.

Lol, I never said I started out in April, I said I started my bankroll. I've been playing for 5+ years. I just restarted my bankroll in April because I had spent it on bills in February.

Those results are based on the following:

2,615 $3.50 Heads-Up Hyper-Turbos

1,605 $7 Heads-Up Hyper-Turbos

1,792 $15 Heads-Up Hyper-Turbos

16,715 $30 Heads-Up Hyper-Turbos

211 $60 Heads-Up Hyper-Turbos

I've also played a handful of MTT tournaments which are a miniscule part of sample size but which result for about $7,500 of that $12,500. I played the $880 Fraser Downs Fall Poker Challenge in Vancouver and cashed 3rd for $7,384. I also won $5,000 that weekend in one session playing pot limit omaha cash. So that is, indeed, small sample size, but the rest is not. Read on.

This isn't run good. Once you're up to a sample of around 5000 heads up hyper turbo games, your results begin to accurately depict your actual skill level. I've played 22,938 heads-up hyper-turbo matches since April with a 1.08% ROI, 51.80% winrate, and $6,063.56 net profit before rakeback.

And yes, I practiced perfect bankroll management. If you're not living off your bankroll, using a 35/50 buy-in rule (move up when you have 50 buy-ins, move down when you're at 35 buy-ins) is a good, aggressive system to use. If you are, 100 or 200 buy-ins minimum is best, depending on how comfortable you are with variance. I started with $200 which was ~57 buy-ins for the $3.50s on PokerStars. I'm now playing the $30s and $60s with a bankroll over $6000.

And yes, people can replicate these results. Easily. My results are, honestly, more on the weaker side among regulars. As for a beginning player, they could easily replicate these results if they actually studied. It's really not that hard to crush the $3.50s-$15s on PokerStars. You just have to think. Most people are there to gamble.

The games are excellent these days. Of course the overall player pool took a hit on Black Friday, but there is still tons of action. Hyper-Turbos have only gotten more popular, especially because the best players are booking some of the highest profits among all high stakes players each year.

As for a 60% winrate and 14% ROI at super-turbos, THAT is too small of a sample size. It's highly like you're a winning player with a great ROI, but you were on an upswing. You're ROI was likely in the 2.5%-5% range. The highest ROI I've ever seen was around 6% over 20k games (also someone hit 7.5% over 3k games but thats too small a sample). And yes, the average player is slightly better, and the regs have definitely improved as well, but fish are fish. The games up to $15s are very, very soft. The $30s are as well but you'll start to run into a lot more regs at that stake.
Bitcoin wiki tells you exactly what you need to do.

Generate addresses offline or proxied through Tor or JonDonym. Use different addresses for every input. Use CoinControl program to send coins https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144331.0

Never post your bitcoin address anywhere you can be identified, such as a msg forum signature, or directly to an exchange for withdrawal/deposit. Use addresses not linked to you (OPSEC).

Stay away from the exchanges that want piles of ID and use P2P trading on IRC or in person.

How Big Tech uses GitHub
That's cool but I meant the ability to get an idea for an extension, create it, and load it without leaving Chrome. Chrome already has Codemirror and some ability to store files using snippets, so why not extend that to create things?

I realize this an exceptional use case but it'd be great to see Chrome fit Steve Yegge's QWAN concept, where one of the ideas is that a system should be modifiable and extendible without rebooting, much like Emacs (Chrome is so close to being there it hurts, but is likely intentionally prevented from working that way).
