1. Password was only used for skype, it was "blocks12", was set around 5 or 6 years ago only for skype, I have moved to password management apps lately and all my current passwords are 20+ character generated strings and if two step authentication is available I always choose it. However I completely forgot about skype since I opened it so many years ago.

2. I have it already installed.

Should I reinstall OSx or is it just a skype hack?

[edit] when I went to download the adobe update - turns out I already have it installed...
Hehe, may the best one win, the race is on!

Once someone is out in the market then that is pretty lame but the name squatting on iOS/iTunes sucks. You have 90-120 days to use a name but if you upload a binary/app build you can keep it for a long time. Games people play. If everyone was allowed to use the same names and the first out out gets it or has a trademark then we are back to fair. Google Play solves this by again letting the free market decide the best, allowing names to compete. Remember the two Tetris games on the 8-bit NES?
I would support letting anyone with a college degree take the bar exam. That said, I don't think it would make a big impact. At the low end, the sporadic nature of legal work makes it difficult to charge much less than lawyers already do. If you're doing divorces, child custody, DUI, etc, it's very hard to fill 40 billable hours a week because any given matter is so small. You spend most of your time just finding work or waiting for work. If your utilization is 50%, then a billable rate of $50 per hour translates to probably $20 per hour worked when accounting for overhead, or less than you can make working at Costco. If your utilization is 35%, you have to charge $100 per hour to beat working at Costco. To make this work,bayou have to drive volume, taking on very large numbers of cases and closing them quickly, which requires expensive advertising.

At the high end, I do think you'd see a class of non-JD lawyers, probably MBA's. However, I don't think you'd have larger supply and thus lower prices. Supply is already quite elastic. The Chicago market used to hire about 1,000 new lawyers at large firms per year, and is probably down to 350 today. The elasticity of the supply comes from firms going more or less deeply into the class at the schools from which they hire. If you open the pool up to say MBAs at U Chicago and Northwestern, what happens? The job market becomes more competitive, but supply doesn't change. At the end of the day, there are only so many M&A deals happening in Chicago and only so many lawyers are needed to work on them. Indeed, the trend has been in the opposite direction. Over the last decade, technology and an intervening recession have reduced the need for entry level lawyers to perform say due diligence. However, rates have gone up over the decade and have held steady even after the recession, because the reduction in entry level positions has resulted in a reduced supply in the ranks of experienced lawyers.

The police justified their military tactics by saying they expected some residents to be armed.
It's possible, but extremely unlikely due to the game theory of Plurality Voting or IRV (in countries/regions which have switched to that) both of which are bad, yet overwhelmingly used for single-winner elections (like, for selecting a president, or in some countries for selecting a single representative per voting district).

http://rangevoting.org/Duverger.html

There's a political science term called a realigning election, but it involves a radical change to a party, or the displacement of at least one of the two dominant parties with a new party, after which elections go back to a two-party-dominated playing field for a while; a persistent 3-or-more party system is not viable without changing voting systems.

"make a credible pitch"

Exactly, but this is actually a specialization of a more generic feature of what my wife has termed "nerds who can talk". Her background is in psychology, but what she's referring to is the ability to function at a high level socially - or in my case, do a reasonably good impression of an extrovert (yes ... it's tiring!)
The hack you just described has a name. It's called "trolling".
I think I'm older than you...

Anyone owning a computing device in the days of Microsoft's reign was able to use any programming language in existence (pretty much) to do development for their device. The APIs were accessible and libraries and technologies played with each other. Mostly because they were around some common lower denominator (e.g. a C or lower level API). You could install anyone's software without needing an intermediary. It was clear that you owned your device, you owned your software and you owned your data. They didn't force other software vendors to pay them a fee. It wasn't Microsoft that broke all that. Microsoft is only playing catch up there.

I don't know Windows Phone 8 at all but if all you're saying is right then that sucks and I won't defend Microsoft there.

SaaS is just another facet of this multi-pronged attack on the user.
Bitcoin at the beginning could've been destroyed by this behaviour, it's only the quirk of being first that means it couldn't have happened. In other words, your statement there is kinda pointless :/

Disappointing that the articles does not use the word "sheeple" at least once. /s

Exactly, I don't see a downside in Google pouring money at futuristic projects. This is a good thing, their research and development only helps the computing industry. I guess people are just stuck in the mindframe that everything Google does is bad. Sure they seem to do some sketchy stuff sometimes with personal information, but that doesn't mean everything they do is a bad thing.
They are banning the sale of non-physical items. So miners/hardware, even your GPU :) is safe to sell. Basically if it can be shipped in a box, it's fine.

The story I heard about this barge not mentioned in this article or in the one in joel's comment: they're going to use it as an office space for employees who can't legally work in the US, either because of visa issues or something else.

They're still pretty young, tbh. Most major web companies will probably stick with their existing frameworks, which they are pretty comfortable with by now. Future websites might portray the popularity more accurately.
I have heard that Microsoft's hardware cost to serve 1000 searches is > $1 while Google's equivalent cost is around $0.07. If true, this is definitely a competitive advantage.

Looks like a lot of effort has been put into this release, especially under the hood. I switched from OpenOffice to LibreOffice recently due to much improved docx import in LibreOffice, and I see that the 4.2 release adds further bugfixes to docx import. It looks like OpenOffice have really dropped the ball on this...docx (and other MS Office import) is really important to anyone who sends and receives documents from the outside world.
I meant the question more in the sense of starting off with AWS and moving to their own servers like it is popular for most startups to do nowadays. Though you make a good point about gaining the skills for a robust infrastructure early on being important.

>The culture of achievement is a privilege reserved for upper strata of society.

How classist of you. There are plenty of people from working class backgrounds who achieved great things. Just because you started in poverty doesn't mean that you've never achieved something worth talking about in response to an interview question like this.

Honestly, I think disadvantaged people are in some ways at an advantage here--we have so many more limitations, that we have to become quite creative in our attempts to get around them. The more advantaged people can take a more convergent path because there are fewer obstacles in their way necessitating an annoying (but ultimately educational) detour.

> The way to fix it is equally obvious: Verify the accuracy of the boarding passes at the security checkpoints. If passengers had to scan their boarding passes as they went through screening, the computer could verify that the boarding pass already matched to the photo ID also matched the data in the computer. Close the authentication triangle and the vulnerability disappears.

The last time I flew, they scanned my boarding pass at the security checkpoint and made a bunch of random marks all over it. I would be surprised if they accepted your second, unadulterated boarding pass at the gate.
Makes sense. Expansive anti money laundering laws in US are probably the cause?
This is likely the first of many personnel moves at Microsoft. ScottGu is favourably looked upon by the dev community so this move is likely to be well liked by the .NET, Azure, ASP.NET, and Windows Phone coders out there.

Congrats and hope this means even greater things to look forward to with the changes happening at Microsoft.

I admit it's a somewhat emotional reply ;-) However, I think anyone will be hard pressed to show that Google and Apple have somehow advanced the state of openness vs. what we used to have in the "good old days". Their business model relies on closeness and being able to extract recurring revenue. Microsoft was not quite like that, they did rely on recurring revenue from newer versions but I feel that's more like getting a new car vs. being overcharged on your ink in your inkjet printer.

EDIT: Something happened to my footnote. The HW specs used to be open in the PC WinTel era. We could freely exchange software. We could run multiple OSes. Lots more choice in languages etc.
Obviously it took them a while to get to warehouse scale, but I think they were thinking efficiently from the beginning, like using Legos and cheap racks to hold naked motherboards. http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/voy/museum/pictures/display/... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Google%E2%80%99s_Firs...

Or when police lie about an accomplice having cooperated and implicating the suspect - so hey you should help us out to and save yourself.

Or when police pretend to be hitmen, seeking payment for murder. Or when police pretend to be drug dealers. Or when police pretend to be terrorists or weapons smugglers or or or or.

An OS that looks wonky on the desktop because they're attempting to play catch-up with mobile devices - check.

You can probably throw Azure cloud services up there too.

Yeah, looks like the "Tyrone Hayes Not Credible" ad from the article is back in circulation for me. Maybe HNers exhausted the budget for the other one.

This ad links to http://agsense.org/atrazine-alarmists/tyrone-hayes/ where the tagline is "Where farmers explain the real benefits of atrazine for healthy crops and healthy land". Awesome. Makes me want to drink an ice cold glass of it.

Their page on Mr. Hayes leads off with an ad hominem attack:

The fact that the Times ran a piece on it really has no bearing on the sprawl of the news or event itself. The assertion is that they are one and the same, that of which they are not.

Regardless of how much play or the "spin" it's still another piece that is well written and justifies his hard work in uncovering the injustices that the NSA uses to it's advantage both with tax dollars and seemingly boundless ethical quandaries.

The point is Steve Jobs took over the entire page of HN - and yes, he was instrumental in changing and entire industry. However someone instrumental in defending the public from it's government fields comments equivalent to "See, the Times ran a piece so there".

RIP Otis Pike and thanks.
Nice article. I agree that an honest request for rating should not be hated - provided it's after some time of real use of application, and it has a permanent dismissal option.

Also, from your article it shows that there are some fundamental problems with the way Apple's App Store works. Have you tried developing for Android? From what I know, it doesn't suffer from the problems you have shown there -

1) The ratings shown are always for all versions.

2) Developers can respond to reviewers and their reviews, and also contact them through their Google+ profiles.

3) (Google) Play Store has a refund window of 15 minutes in which the payments are refunded directly from them, so that you don't have to give money from your own pockets to do that (after 15 minutes I think it's the same way, they have to contact the developer)

That said, it's been observed that on Google Play store generally people don't like buying costly apps. You'd have to think for a way out.
(sorry for my bad english) I do not want to start an argument about what is better but has everyone saying good things about angularJS here play with durandalJS? To me, coming from a MVVM background, it feels more natural and easier to use. I confess I did not get too far with angular yet so I would love to know what is the opinion of someone who use/test both frameworks.

Interestingly, I worked there when there were 4 engineers. They had most of the product worked out back then. The Pandora website the last time I checked is not terribly functionally different from the internal Savage Beast website from 2001. Pick a song, and it generates a playlist based on that song. The barriers were legal and monetary, more than technical.
