> "You said something bad about China online? We're just going to fine you, or ask for your extradition and arrest."

Sure, that can happen. China can and might ask for extradition. This is however a different question from whether the USA will extradite. Extradition is usually denied in cases where the action in question was not a crime in the country that you're asking to extradite.

Think about it: A German commits a murder in the USA which is discovered only after he returns to Germany. Does your "no jurisdiction" line of reasoning still apply?

> and also disagree with France's.

I would have said the same thing if he was French, to say France has xenophobic views on immigrations is plain wrong. And yes no direspect to you but I don't think you can rightly evaluate the situation in France by reading comments on internet or articles in the news, you have to live here and see by yourself. I would say two things: there is much more immigration than what the numbers suggest at least in my area (I live in a big town in south of france) and secondly there are a lot less problems and much more integration than what is reported in the news. And BTW, I consider myself as liberal (US meaning of the term) and I'm not bothered by immigration I even welcome it, it's good for diversity, but there is no denying that France has welcomed in the past decades a lot of immigrants so maybe in these difficult times there is a bit more friction than usual.

The 6 Reasons Lists Should Be Banned From The Web
Thanks! We have this other document view that we're going to make more prominent in the coming days:

http://www.omniref.com/docs/ruby/stdlib/2.0.0-p247/classes/E...

The "preview" that shows up from search pages links to it, but it's definitely not obvious where/how. We'll fix that!
>but what about the people that you've been directing your questions to?

That was actually going to be my response. Speaking as the person typically on the other end of the "hey, quick question" it's crazy-distracting and it typically takes me 5-10 minutes to get back to whatever I was coding. It's demotivating that my time in the office is split between meetings and interruptions (direct or just general office roar), as well as why I'm currently receptive to interesting job offers.
That makes sense, and I'll be the first to admit my understanding of French law was not as clear as it should have been, but the line between "criticise" and "insult" is very fine.

For instance, my understanding is that, in France, one should think twice before using the words "Mugabe" and "despot" in the same sentence. This is not a problem in the UK or the US at all.

But maybe this is also part of what made France such a very civilised, cultured and enjoyable place to live.

Designing your website to hijack basic system functions is bullshit, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to copy text from an article (quoting it for discussion on a Hacker News thread is the first one that comes to mind).

Unfortunately, cramming spam into copied text seems to be getting more popular, and rudeness aside it's a potential security risk (i.e. if an unsuspecting help-seeker copy-pastes a command line and it turns into a completely different command line in the buffer). Is there a plugin yet to disable copy-buffer spam specifically, or would I need to disable JavaScript completely?
My company gives all engineers their own office with a door. Recently four of us petitioned to be able to have an open office together. We collaborate better, feel generally happier, and knowledge sharing happens so much more fluidly.

I was going crazy the first 6 months here because I was holed up in a office by myself with little in-person communication. There was no benefit to being in the office versus working remotely. My first attempt was to get the company a HipChat account for engineers to stay more connected. I even pushed for a couple of monthly engineer events so I would have an opportunity to interact with other engineers.

Open office setups can go horribly wrong. Never allow anyone who spends time on the phone into the open office setup. That stifles all interaction due to the need for silence. Additionally, engineers are forced to listen to a single side of a conversation that likely has nothing directly to do with the engineers. Project and account managers have a valuable job, and engineers should not need to be distracted by work that is not related to what they need to accomplish.

Additionally, I believe an open office for engineers should be reasonably small (4-10 people), and there should be some common responsibilities or projects between the engineers.

Other steps can be taken to give people the appropriate space for the task at hand. I've used a stand-up desk for the past three years. I hardly ever spend a whole day standing. I alternate between sitting and standing as my body gives me signals. Similarly, having quiet space (alternatively headphones, if desired) to crank on certain work can be useful useful. That said, three of the four of us have not used solitary space in the past 2 months.

Basically all of this is to say the issue is not black and white. If you prefer to work in a private office, like more than half of the engineers at my company do, that's fine. If you prefer to work in the company of others, that is fine too. Not everyone wants to work at a startup, and not everyone hates working for big financial companies.
Absolutely valid point. But I think most of us just put on headphones if we wanted to be left alone. And in those cases, I'd absolutely email someone instead of interrupting them -- unless it was both important and urgent.
I believe the sports metaphor was intended to mean that the criticism amounted to an ad hominem.

I've used Mathematica for 24 years now, and I quite like it. It was especially helpful when I was in school, for working on my homework. The fact that it could do symbolic calculus, and do algebra without making any mistakes helped a ton. These sorts of problems....

In[1]:= D[x^2 Sin[x], x]
Out[1]= x^2 Cos[x] + 2 x Sin[x]

In[8]:= Integrate[Sin[x], {x, 0, c}]
Out[8]= 1 - Cos[c]

In[10]:= Solve[{x + 23 y + x^2 == 46, x - y == 234}, {x, y}]
Out[10]= {{x -> 2 (-6 - Sqrt[1393]), y -> 2 (-123 - Sqrt[1393])},
{x -> 2 (-6 + Sqrt[1393]), y -> 2 (-123 + Sqrt[1393])}}

I love ipython as well, but it can't do that sort of thing.

I used to do "println" debugging trick during my early days of programming until more senior people around me slap my hand and told me to use the debugger efficiently and effectively.

In Eclipse/IntelliJ you can set "Conditional Breakpoint" (only stop/break when certain conditions is met) very handy when debugging a loop. In addition to that, you can also set "breakpoint on any Exception".

Also, in Eclipse/IntelliJ, when the debugger hits the breakpoint, you could execute Java code within the context of that breakpoint (of course, java.lang is given by default in addition to the context of that breakpoint).

I've never done more complex debugging than that but I'm guessing you can write almost anything you want within the "evaluate window" in those IDEs.
It is "TheNextWeb" here, so not exactly deep journalism. Its true that if Google declined to support Mozilla that Microsoft could get in there for less than the $300M that Google paid, and it would probably push Bing closer to parity with Google in terms of searches done.

So more accurate reasoning is "Search advertising is the best, Mozilla drives a lot of traffic, any search engine would love to have 'control' over Mozilla's choice of default search provider and how that works to insure they get the traffic from Mozilla customers."

So no, Mozilla doesn't need a 'backup' plan unless Bing goes away.

It's interesting to note most people don't know the history of the cubicle and why it was invented in the first place:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubicle

"The office cubicle was created by designer Robert Propst for Herman Miller, and released in 1967 under the name "Action Office II". Although cubicles are often seen as being symbolic of work in a modern office setting due to their uniformity and blandness, they afford the employee a greater degree of privacy and personalization than in previous work environments, which often consisted of desks lined up in rows within an open room.[1][2

Image of an office circa 1937: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Photograph_of_the_Division...

I've never liked the open office layouts anyways. The two companies I worked for used it and it was tremendously noisy and so I usually did anything I could to avoid having to work in the office. Either by going to the cafeteria to work, or staying home. It made both of the teams I worked on very inefficient. The exact opposite goal it was meant to address.

Why Silicon Valley Breeds a Better Investor
Bitcoin has a lot of strange features or flaws, depending on viewpoint, that many people seem to blow off. Right now, for instance, the entire network can only support something like 10 transactions per second. That's clearly not going scale. Also, the much-touted microtransactions are unlikely to really make any sense with onchain transactions due to miner fees, which will eventually become commonplace as an incentive to mining as the block rewards become smaller and smaller and the difficulty increases. As a result, offchain providers are becoming more popular, which for many of us seems to defeat the entire point of bitcoin--it reintroduces trusted third parties.

Mail doesn't get blocked because of the mail server you are using, but rather what you are sending and who you are sending it to. If you/your clients send spam mail (unsolicited emails) then no matter what you use, you'll get blocked. Even if you use Google/Yahoo or anyone else's services, you'll get your account suspended if you send spam. You can setup your own mailserver but make sure you have relays turned off so others can't use your mailserver to send unsolicited emails.
Well, what is the possible catch? I can't see it. My immediate guess is that they think the money isn't in selling the software itself but to have some sort of cloud-based subscription model, and having it on a Raspbian without charge would be a good lure. What ulterior motives do you foresee?

>so unless you are suggesting that loading Mathematica onto the Pi will, in fact, destroy it, I don't see any merit to this analogy

That's not really how you refute an analogy. In any analogy, you can find differences, but not all differences are relevant. You could say "Mathematica isn't made of wood", or "Mathematica isn't full of soldiers", but these differences don't weaken the analogy.

You have to look at the claimed similarity (in this case, ulterior motives) and show a difference that conflicts with that claim.

You have failed to do this, and so your refutation falls flat.

I believe most of your complaints can be explained by their desire to create the cheapest device possible, but still powerful enough to be useful in an education setting. Corners had to be cut somewhere, and pure open hardware is expensive and hard to come by. If you want to drive the cost down, that typically means using popular silicon, which in turn typically means dealing with companies like Broadcom.

Just because it's not 100% open source doesn't mean it has no roots there. I know this is hotly debated in many circles, but in my book it doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Personally, I feel they made the right decision for their project. I'd rather introduce kids to linux, computing, and hacking on a device that is relatively open rather than on a purely open device that schools may not even be able to afford.
Post author here. That quote was just his shorthand for saying that if he's advising clients or investors, he's billing for that time. He talks to his clients to tell them how to set boundaries for investors and how to best communicate with them.

Living somewhere doesn't give you as much insight to a place's immigration policies as attempting to emigrate to that place.

Regardless, it's not imprudent to question the efficacy of broad social benefits while simultaneously supporting open borders.

It is equally okay to believe that your country should benefit from the diversity that can only be achieved with easy immigration laws, and be willing to accept an increase in taxes to support that objective.

It's also okay to view the other position as negative based on your views, and a person's country of origin or current residency does not affect the validity of their opinion.
If you use a shared system then you are at the mercy of both (a) the expertise of whoever configures and maintains it, and (b) the behaviour of others on that shared system. Chances are high that it's poorly configured and maintained and that other on the same host are spammers, or their systems are infected with spam-sending bots - so your IP gets on all the blacklists.

If your client really cares about getting mail through then they will be happy to pay for a service, or for you to work though a good setup of postfix on a VPS. If they're not willing to pay for this then don't stress about it.

Thank dhart for an introduction to the "< /file program" idiom that puts file first without resorting to cat, and for column for that matter. Neat. In return I'll offer perl's new /r flag which "returns" the result of tr// or s/// rather than some count.
This is a nice product you have created but I think the problem you will have is in being able to acquire customers cost effectively that have enough pain with legal bills to want to pay the price you are selling the service for.

You can't build a business that is (or appears to be) targeted toward startups who may have large legal bills at one point in time.

You have to have a product that is used by traditional firms.

So how will you acquire and market to those traditional firms that need this? And, at the low prices you are charging, will you be able to market to them?

So I think what you need to do is have one product targeted toward one community (say low priced, startups, what you are doing now) and an entirely different branded product that has a much higher price that is targeted toward the legal department of small and mid sized companies.

So my feeling is you need two brandings, you can't just have different levels of offerings out of the same website and name.

I know the people at this company:

http://legalfiles.com/

If you look at their client list they are the type of people that would use your product. But at your pricing there is no margin to get them involved as a sales channel for you.
