This is pretty standard marketing stuff in 2014... If I were running the Xbox marketing department I'd start firing people if they WEREN'T doing this.

You can still use a software RAID.

Last time I checked, software RAID was at least as secure (a lot more tests) and efficient as hardware RAID, except for some high-end controllers which with an integrated small battery and cache.
You wrote down: "my target market is essentially small business owners who dislike Yelp" => is this an hypothesis or a fact?

Before doing marketing, make sure there is a market/people ready to pay for your solution.

Only if so, start doing marketing (outbound, inbound,...).
I did read the article. I am not saying I agree with the practice or I see no negative aspects to the practice. I'm just surprised at the recent uproar over this when Microsoft is by no means the first company to do this. Sure their agreement states you can't say anything negative about the X1 but how is that different from publishers sending free games for people to review? Do you not think those people realize negative comments will most likely persuade publishers to stop sending them free games?
My point is how is it better than simply taking a video which is also built from images.

I went to Codemash this year and a gentleman had some interesting BluetoothLE demos on Android.
Intel’s Ben Widawsky, who works on Intel’s Linux graphics driver efforts, says that “Broadwell graphics bring some of the biggest changes we’ve seen on the execution and memory management side of the GPU… [the changes] dwarf any other silicon iteration during my tenure, and certainly can compete with the likes of the gen3->gen4 changes.”

This combined with the fully opensource Linux driver for Broadwell would mean that there is a very high chance it would perform significantly better.
Minnesota has Scientific and natural areas ("SNAs"). They're listed online, but I don't know if they're easily scrapeable.

I think scraping stuff like this would be a good start to get an initially useful set of data started. I know I'd love a better map for SNAs.

The http://easyendorse.com/example/ page is the one I read. Just now I scrolled down to the bottom of your front page to read "Pop-up windows, Javascript, PHP, or direct API access - you can choose what's best for you."

It's still a joke, which is why it does well. It's got a serious strain, but it's firmly rooted in internet sillyness and people throw it around willy-nilly right now specifically because it's a "joke" with some minimal amount of value. People treat it as functionally equivalent to reddit karma or whatever - at the moment, it's broadly used as kind of a secondary upvote. Just because it's a joke doesn't mean it can't also be a serious cryptocurrency. It's just rebranded Litecoin, after all.

As far as "second to bitcoin", not quite. Its market cap jumped quite a bit in the past day, but it's still 8th on the list according to http://coinmarketcap.com/

No. I'm open to data-based correction, though.

Insofar as social mobility may be stifled now, many contend it's in large part to government administration causing a sharp increase in taxpayer liability (you may not be billed for it yet, but your share of the debt is enormous and growing fast) and economic uncertainty (sporadic currency pumping, encouragement of class envy, and rule thrashing on healthcare etc). Hard for employers to hire & give raises (the core of social mobility) when economic future is so unpredictable and depressing.
I'd think twice before declaring victory; I don't see any reason to believe that the server is now "clean". If this had happened to me, I'd spin up a new VPS, configure it appropriately, then install my app and migrate any needed data. What I wouldn't do was continue running on an instance that had been exploited and assume I'd successfully cleaned it up.
The current design is actually the old design whereas the archive.org link is the real current design.

Are there no affluent black neighborhoods where a white person might look out of place?

It's not race that plays in so much as economic cues that sadly are not evenly distributed. A black guy in an M5 BMW wearing a suit likely faces no more prosecution than a white guy. The cops tend not to fuck with people who appear to have the means to buy influence or sue, irrespective of race.

If blacks are more poor than whites (on average) and thus have less education/family/friends/etc lottery to win, that happens not because they're black but because they're poor.

Being poor sucks but people aren't poor because they're black anymore than they're black because they're poor. You can't try and find causation either way there. People are generally poor because their parents were poor and it's not terribly common for people to aspire to much more than what they're used to. But that has more to do with how people bias themselves than how society aggressively discriminates.

You can't win the lottery without buying a ticket and there are plenty of people white, black, asian, latino, etc who don't try to purchase tickets.

History: Back in 2008 I read the book http://producingoss.com/ and was at the same time dealing with several forks of http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/ for use in my project http://sagemath.org. Inspired by producingoss, I came up with the name "Cython" during a brainstorming session with Tom Boothby, then made a website (cython.org), listed the three leaders of the various Pyrex forks as project leaders (one was my Ph.D. student), and crossed my fingers. It worked.
What Developers Need From API Method Docs
I'm just thinking here in practical terms. If these bloggers/youtubers were in fact companies/portals, everybody would be fine with it. In this regard, I don't see how Microsoft can be blamed for playing the same game the whole marketing industry plays.

No, looking from the "what I expect" perspective, most people expect these bloggers/youtubers to reflect the "opinion of the crowds" and to reflect reality more accurate I guess. In this light, Microsoft's attempt to pay them could be seen as unethical.

Personally I never trusted of these bloggers/youtubers so I'm far from shocked with this news. I expect them to be doing that by the very nature of their "jobs", if not for direct profit from vendors, then for ad-click revenue.

I'd say don't be naive with anything, specially things involving products and revenue.
Ah, it's a hypothesis.. I am/was under the impression that marketing is partially a way of testing that.

Oh great, a reddit-style novelty account created 42 minutes ago.
I fully understand the sentiment, but let me try to hack your comment, and play the devil’s advocate:

* Law works in mysterious ways: a victory for blatant reasons might be expressed with a rationale from the judge that triggers worst outcome. I hate the laws because of that (or rather, lawyers for being so clueless about economic assumptions behind recommendations) but that makes every nuanced decision so much more enjoyable.

* A victory from the big, profitable company against a new business model (OK, I might have forgotten a moral decrepitude from one party in that description; thing is: law often does, too) means that jurisprudence might end up appearing a lot more in favor of winners, i.e. against competition and for established monopolies. Might: let's see what gives, but please remember that having a vivid tech scene does rely on a handful of counter-intuitive decisions that were made against allowing Standard Oil to offer cheap gas, against Microsoft for offering a simple, working solution, against Google simplifying their privacy statements. Competition law is counter-intuitive and unsatisfying.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the most obvious exploitation: politicians. If you could just vote for my proposal, or perhaps send me some money, I could arrange for no one to find out about ...

Company execs are about the same way. So you earn 100K pounds per year and someone wants 1K pounds to keep something quiet that could derail your career. Well, OK then. As long as it doesn't scale to 100 people all trying to blackmail the same guy. Or if you could just sign this sale contract with our company, we'd have no reason to explain to our shareholders all about your mental health issues 30 years ago that obviously cost us the contract.

>>You can use software development to achieve very quantifiable results for companies.

Can you direct me to books / resources to understand more in depth what you are talking about here. I have read what you are saying many times but never quite get it. I am struggling to understand why would someone want to pay me % of their profit when they can hire some programmer for $50/hour. Is it about how you present yourself to the client s or types of clients you go after ? I am working as a freelancer and all I am getting is very budget sensitive clients who doesn't want to pay more than their cleaning maid.
One way that I prototyped a component-entity system that worked well for quick lookups was more like this:

{:health {entity-id-1 32
entity-id-2 23}
:location {entity-id-1 [32 16 7]
entity-id-2 [33 13 7]}
... more stuff ...}

So the entity data structure is organized first by component tag, then by entity id. I've heard this referred to as "inside-out objects". That way functions can quickly query things like "find all entities that have a location" or "find all entities that are poisoned". The downside is that there isn't a convenient way to atomically update multiple components of a single entity.
I'm just not getting how this is all that different from something like Eclipse, which compiles code while you're writing it, displays error messages in real time, and allows you to gain a sense of what the code is doing (which method is called) by mousing over methods. Is this a way to make life that much easier or is it the same basic idea?

Excellent. :) I will look into this.

But on the other hand, I would prefer to not reinvent the wheel.
Why would I pay someone to trash talk my product or recommend another product? Coke would never have their polar bears drinking a Pepsi. Even Chevy ads don't talk about Cadillac.
That sounds completely logical, but misses the human element.

Your story only works if the people making all the money actually spend it on helping others. Most of the time, they do not. One of the things that will trigger people to charity and generosity is going out and doing some charitable work on their own. It lets them see the results, show them the personal satisfaction that can be gained by it, and sets them up to have the desire to contribute in other ways.

That's awesome that you got inspired by my picture. That hike is inspiring, probably my favorite of all time.

Thanks for the feedback too. I want to support finding nearby hikes in two ways:

1. If you go to the maps page, it should zoom you into your location and show you hikes nearby. That part works, but I also wish it zoomed out when no hikes are within your current viewport.

2. Also (and this part isn't done), I wish there was a way to filter the Discover images by location.

Feel free to add any of your local trails or update the Narrows.
And then they realized how herd mentality works and how it's much more profitable and efficient then actually making people think. In this, marketing is the ultimate exploiter of our flaws...
I did not say I do not have a problem with the marketing agreement Microsoft has set up. Be that as it may, I also understand this type of marketing is not solely taken advantage of by Microsoft. I don't anyone is arguing it's ok. People are pointing out that Microsoft is by no means the first company to take advantage of this type of marketing.
It’s not that I don’t think they’re useful; rather that the marginal utility (for us) of having one isn’t worth the kitchen space that it would cost us. Once every few months I wish we had one, but once every few months I wish I had lots of things. I try not to make a habit of rushing out to buy them.

Bah. I had a similar idea at my university to provide instant-feedback course guides for all degree plans, class descriptions and online resources, etc.

The university went from "awful system implemented 20 years ago by Sungard" to "awful system implemented 1 year ago by Sungard". Don't pretend this YBB+ app, created by students, had any chance of being accepted by the university. Furthermore, it is a joke to claim futility and waste of talent for these men who built this website, created out of a real-world (first-world) problem and proven to serve user demands.

It's delusional because the demand for real estate in these neighborhoods appears to be almost perfectly inelastic. People don't even think about moving anywhere else in the city, even when the cost/benefit equation tips in favor of living in another location.

Log files being in binary lets you do things like filter based on specific fields rather than on more complicated string matching. For example, you can get log file messages from postfix's smtp process (as opposed to its smtpd process) with one command (journalctl /usr/lib/postfix/smtp), which you can then cut/sort/grep/awk/etc.

You can also follow the logs with journalctl -f and go from there as well.

The problem that this solves is the classic 'what log file does this daemon log this error level to on this system', which varies a surprising amount between daemons, versions, distributions, etc.

I don't actually care which log file I look at, I just want to know what errors monit is getting. systemd and journalctl provide that handily.

I would agree with an approach to have systemd send log events to e.g. journald (or syslog-ng, or whatever the user wanted) to separate that functionality out, however.
Yes, that's exactly how my ClojureScript prototype worked, the problem is that it wouldn't allow me to use concurrent entities. (Although you could use refs for tag-types instead of individual entitites... an interesting approach nonetheless)

Intel's "cripple AMD" function (2009)
I fully appreciate your intention to moderate the belligerent tone with reason and a Kantian admiration for applying the law as it is. However, I believe that the contention with Intellectual Ventures is that they hold patents that many say were awarded in spite of what was considered at the time (and far more so now) common concepts. It seems that voiding those patents is unreasonably hard with the law as it stands. Therefore, I hope that the judge considers not just the case, but also the industry-wide consequences, and accepts that what is commonly accepted in tech, for the greater good, are close imitation of previous designs. If I could influence the decision, I would gladly point at Haute-cuisine and their original idea-defending mechanisms.
There is no "wealth created by the society". Society as a whole does not create wealth, it's individual members do.
You continue to ignore that there is not 'increased employee availability', it is in point of fact decreased. As the op stated:

This means a employee may be required to work a short morning shift and a short evening shift, making it effectively impossible for those prepared to scrape by working a second job to even do that any more.

And I have reiterated the point. The split shift is not two different shifts. It is one shift at two different points in the day. Where does the increased employee availability come from? The employee in question actually has less availability for another employer (not to mention for themselves given possible commute times, having to work morning & night when they might see family who dont have such a schedule, etc).

Unless you're somehow meaning since they are willing to work more flexible (read: Worse) schedules?

Also your Netflix example rings pretty hollow. They arn't even loosely comparable situations. Any owner/manager who hires more people "because they are available!" is probably 'doin it wrong'. You ideally hire, and pay, only as many people as you need to get the job done.

But for the sake of argument: Imagine if you had to pay the upkeep for Netflix twice per month (hiring two employees for the different parts of the one split shift). Pay your monthly cost, then you go over a limit or want to watch on a second device or whatever, so you then have to pay a second time. Would you be watching things as freely? I'd wager that you wouldn't.

> I expect an init system to be an init system, not to also be pm-utils, (x)inetd, acpid, syslogd, watchdog, cron and atd.

The problem with this traditional unix approach is that in addition to init, pm-utils, inetd, cron, etc you end up having thousands of lines of shell scripts that glue all this together in a big brittle mess.

While this approach may be fine for servers which boot once and stay on for ages, are connected to fast wired network and are generally rather stable configurations, I don't want such a system for my desktop, laptop or mobile device.

I expect modern devices to be able to deal with changes in power supply (battery/mains/low battery), connecting and disconnecting devices (storage, peripherals, audio devices, etc) and changes in network connectivity (intentional disconnection as well as network failure). This may involve starting and stopping services, mounting and unmounting partitions and taking other actions when the physical configuration changes.

I also expect my computers to boot and shutdown quickly and effectively.

Some of this is already doable in other systems, like the traditional Debian network setup (originally built in the era of wired networks) which can run scripts on connect/disconnect. But the situation ends up being what I described above: thousands of lines of brittle shell scripts.

I welcome the changes and the effort put in systemd and other init systems. Traditional unix init just doesn't cut it any more, in particular on personal desktop and mobile devices.
The "systemd" project really isn't about having just an init system. systemd by itself is an init, but the project includes several other tools related to managing the system as a whole beyond just starting services. The project integrates a bunch of utilities that each accomplish something on their own.

To me, it makes perfect sense for these tools to be tightly integrated, both with each other and with the OS kernel, simply because they are interrelated and integration leads to greater stability and a less fragile system overall.

No doubt upstream could be less hostile towards attempts to distill out the portable bits, but I can understand their viewpoint... Systemd is ultimately about making Linux-based systems run well.
Can someone compare and contrast this with Make?
If we were able to buy at their local price, we would have effectively merged two formerly separate markets. And the now one market price would likely be much higher.
