They don't seem too dissimilar.

JP Morgan Chase started as The Manhattan Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manhattan_Company). Formed to provide a clean water supply instead the owners took 95% of the $2 million to form a bank and created a system of waterworks that caused massive cholera outbreaks ... I don't think MtGox has killed anyone yet, though I've been convinced for a time that they've probably made-off with a lot of the money.

JP Morgan Chase aren't exactly trustworthy either, motivation based on pure financial profit will do that - a synopsis of some of their major indiscretions:

How is Android "not really a Linux
? It runs the Linux kernel. That means it's Linux. No, it's not a distribution of GNU/Linux, but it's a Linux kernel. It's really using Linux. It's as Linux as Ubuntu, as Ubuntu also runs on a Linux kernel.
I deploy tinc[1] automatically in my base puppet config to give me direct connection over normal ipv4. It's a private network though so it won't work from a device I don't control as yours probably do.

I think you're getting too hung up on genre names and missing the bigger picture.

I used to see the same thing in the electronic music scene. Eventually it lead to half a dozen different subgenres defined primarily by the tone of the kick drum. It was nuts.

My point being this is a commercial radio station, normal rules of music snobbery don't apply. Thus their definition of the station is simply popular guitar music that isn't being hammered on the teeny stations nor offends any major demographics. And grunge or not, Nevermind was a popular album with "poppy rocky singles".

By loosening their definition of "classic rock" they're attempting to appeal to the largest number of people. Thus my original statement stands.
Hum, an emacs native port for Android has been out for quite a while now [1]. Android is just a Linux system with a weird libc and windowing system.

[1] http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid
> This is completely and utterly wrong, and only furthers my belief that nobody in Silicon Valley actually "gets" anonymity.

I tend to agree with this statement. Anonymity and Pseudonymity (two diff things) type conversations will decay if the community allows it and the audience on the medium encourages the behavior. I've seen plenty of negative "real name" conversations. I've also seen plenty of great *nym conversations too.

SV misses the point on this in my opinion as well.

[edited] I just want to add the original content and tone also sets the stage for what happens in the comment sections.

In the case of Secret, I'm a little bleh on the app but think the UI is sweet. I haven't seen the negative side of it yet nor have I posted negative comments either.

It was all about Stephen Elop's career trajectory, which was supposed to land him where Satya Nadella is now.
Yeah, this is what I used to do. There were some problems with file managers as you said, but it worked nicely in IDEs. Nowadays I only log in to that system to submit batch jobs every now and then, so it is not a big problem anymore.
Similar to free inodes, you should also check for maximum number of directories. dir_index option helps, but I've seen it become a problem.
I've always thought using anonymity for targeted communication works really well.

Omegle used to be a lot of fun when it was mostly college students who were bored waiting for class or something and wanted to talk to someone interesting in a different place.

It's a good 'risk free' way to get to know someone.

I think a mobile app that did one to one anonymous communication restricted by .edu would be really successful (especially if it was just your school initially so you could potentially meet).

The general idea of self-censorship in non-anonymous systems is probably the main counter that I could think of to the original post. You get bad and good from it, but it's better to live in a world with both as a result than with neither.
Other Android based phone are being sold without the Google Play Store, and still sell very well. Disclaimer: those are mostly phone developed for the Chinese market where the Google Play Store is not allowed to be bundle with the phone. See Xiaomi for an example.

Bullshit

Read the main paper cited in the article by Alexander at Texas A&M in 2002. It says: female MONKEYS prefer COOKING POTS.

Then if you aren't debilitated by laughing read the methods, it's a total piece of shit yet is quoted again and again because it agrees with people's prejudices.
Timely, given all the bad Microsoft press yesterday stemming from Paul Thurrott's public disapproval of Windows.
They are always AMAIWAAIC anyway. (Ask me anything, I will answer as I choose). If there were pre-voted by community questions, and rules requiring answers by the AMAer, now that would be interesting.
I think mobile networks do play a good bit of a role here. My iPhone 5s is on Verizon's LTE network and connects over IPv6 to sites. If you look at the latest World IPv6 Launch measurements from Jan 16, you can see that 40% of the traffic that was measured coming from Verizon Wireless' network was coming over IPv6 - http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/

(Those measurements show the % of IPv6 traffic from various operator networks seen by Akamai, Facebook, Google and Yahoo.)
I would use Postgres.

It's not particularly likely to eat your data or kill you as you get started, and the ecosystem is relatively unified which means consistent and generally good best practices documentation. Becoming a Postgres expert could take a lifetime as the database offers an astonishing depth of features, but it won't bite you if you just use the basics. Plus the source is quite good if you ever find the urge to dig deep.

A couple of gotchas might bother you. You'll need to implement your own strategy for upserts if you need those. But you do get robust native support for popular data types commonly seen in today's apps: geographic data as well as document data (via HStore or JSON).

The MySQL/MariaDB family is well-proven as well, but with tens of available storage engines, two core forks, and a bit of non-standard SQL magic sprinkled throughout it's harder for a beginner to learn the best practices IMO.

The challenge comes once you exceed what one machine can do and want to move beyond the simple client(s) <-> (possibly replicated) server model. Keep in mind that depending on your project, this might not ever happen to you. Certain types of mid-sized sites like Basecamp and Stack Exchange have gotten away with throwing bigger hardware at their database systems.

If or when you reach the point where you need a distributed database, you have to choose between consistency and availability. I'll let the experts explain some of those concepts by linking to this excellent article by Coda Hale: http://codahale.com/you-cant-sacrifice-partition-tolerance/ . That's when you'll find yourself in the NoSQL world - many NoSQL databases are useful in that they try to trade consistent for available in some way or another. While they generally fail completely to actually do so, as illustrated in Kyle Kingsbury's excellent "Call Me Maybe" series, the largest -scale systems are all based on a "NoSQL" data store in some way or another.
Apologies. I mixed yours with other post(s) in that regard...
its simply doge, just like you pronounce "vote"
I did the same and now I'm able to focus and spend time on real friendships that matter vs. clicking through a facebook feed of what facebook decides to show me.
Reddit is anonymous, one of the fastest growing sites on the Internet, and Bill Gates is doing a QA on it as we speak. Seems like a site's culture/ranking algorithms determine quality rather than whether or not a site's anonymous.
How would you even know what predatory pricing is.
It's pretty odd.

I think it's fair to say that the only handset makers profiting off of Android today are...Samsung...and...that's about it really. Meager pickings for the rest of them.

I don't see this succeeding at all. And in any case it's dead in the water once the Microsoft deal goes through because it just muddies the waters. A person that buys one of these cheap Nokia/Android phones would reasonably expect that "upgrading" to Nokias "premium" Lumia handsets will mean his apps/features carry over too.

Oops.
Anonymity isn't as black and white as everyone keeps portraying it. Take HN for example - we all have usernames, some of which are our real names. Sites like 4Chan and LikeALittle - all harbor true anonymity. I agree with Sam that those sites decay over time. However, sites like Reddit and HN that are built around pseudo-anonymity and voting have been able to produce thoughtful discussion
It kind of looks like the 'guide' skips Chef altogether.
Opscode docs make it look pretty easy to scale up, can anyone with a large Chef deployment share what are the pinpoints?
Or going full steam ahead with their Maemo / MeeGo which Elop killed. It was an excellent product: http://www.theverge.com/2011/10/22/2506376/nokia-n9-review.

In fact, N9s still retail for pretty high amounts despite being unsupported and outdated hardware.
JNI is not considered to be a performant solution. Copying bytes across the jvm/c boundary is expensive. Depending on how the bindings are implemented (direct vs undirect ByteBuffers for example) you could easily see drastic differences in performance at high through put.

Is it always about the money?
I've always thought that CL needed a set of common libraries to be strongly recommended. The problem is that it has been tried before, but never really taken off.

However, given the recent rise of quicklisp for managing libraries, it's entirely possible that a project of this type will be much more successful. I hope so!

I still remember the first time I looked at the Alexandria library and realised I'd already implemented a good 1/4 of the functionality myself, just because it was glaringly missing from the CL core spec.
This is somewhat unrelated to the stats, but is related to IPv6: If you have experienced issues with YouTube videos because your TelCo ISP is messing with the routing, give an IPv6 tunnel a try. I have found that it works great and my last two ISP's (TWC and Comcast) have not yet gone to the point of deliberately slowing down IPv6 or YouTube over IPv6.

Sounds like that's the only viable way to have profitable campaigns: having ads that go directly to your landing page.

I for one am confused as to why people chose the other indirect, convoluted way: buying likes, directing people to their FB page, THEN hoping they click through to their actual website.
Honestly I'd be happier seeing this on HN. You should submit if you haven't already.
How are you privy to the reason the OP lives 30 miles from work?

Perhaps he has other obligations, such as family, that require him to live where he does. Or perhaps the cost of living near OP's workplace is beyond his means.

You assume too much.
It's never been entirely clear what semantics Python provides when used in a multithreaded way; CPython executes each bytecode instruction atomicly but those bytecodes are really a CPython implementation detail and it's extremely nonobvious whether a given piece of python code will correspond to single bytecode instruction. As a result a lot of multithreaded python either breaks when run on more concurrent implementations (e.g. Jython) or has subtle bugs, and the standard advice for python developers is to use alternative concurrency mechanisms rather than learning to use CPython threads effectively.

At a minimum one can hope this STM implementation will allow a higher-performance, more concurrent python in which all operations that are atomic in CPython remain atomic. Better would be a high-performance implementation of the async interfaces introduced in 3.4.
"Facebook will adjust to allow for fake likes to not hit engagement and it will go away."

How? Now the problem OP brought up is: if he got too many fake likes, his posts are not being delivered to his organic followers. This cause a major damage for his intention to post, and he is forced to advertise his posts which is ridiculous.

I think there should be some better model to distinguish the organic from the click farms. Here is a proposal: http://bit.ly/LRSdkJ
The video on the know your meme page for Doge will clarify it: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge

For Snapchat, monetizing with 320x50 banners or full-screen interstitials would degrade their user experience and deliver a serious hit to their brand.

Not really. They already have Evan Spiegel (Valleywag him) as their CEO. People who care about quality are not going to use it. "A serious hit to [the] brand" is a non-threat. What brand?

Sarcasm is an effective technique against one's parents when one's methods of expression are limited and one would like to, for example, express that one does not genuinely want to take out the trash, especially given the fact that one's sibling has not taken out the trash for a week AND LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!!1!, but I am sure you are older than that and can do better.

How is 4chan culturally relevant? If it is, is it more or less relevant than reddit? How about twitter? What cultural artifacts has it produced that could not have been created elsewhere? Are these cultural artifacts timeless or ephemeral? Can it produce something beyond culture? Could a work of literature or science emerge from 4chan? What would we lose if it didn't exist? How does anonymity help? Does it help teenagers forge an identity? Adults? Or does it help foster a group bond between like minded folks? Does the anonymity and lack of an account history allow one to experiment with ideas without being beholden to a past identity? Is it similar to a videogame in that respect, where one can do and say what one wants without consequences? Can such a world coexist with a service like Facebook or Google Plus? Does this allow people who are or believe they are marginalized by society to thrive or is this a place where privileged bullies wear masks and sharpen their taunts? If it were possible, would Facebook or Google Plus benefit from a /b/ mode? What would it look like? How does all this relate to Secret? Would Secret be used as a therapy session? A way to attack enemies? A way to spread knowledge? Or pure entertainment?

I don't have much of an opinion on 4chan or Secret, but find anonymity and privacy fascinating. I think the point you and moot are raising is a great addition to what Sam wrote, and look forward to reading what moot is going to write. In the meant time, I would love that the discussion went beyond sarcasm and two word rebuttals.
Thanks! This is actually what I love doing, small utilities to help me and others which are not that fancy but get the work done and are compatible with my workflow.
I think there are too many smart and capable developers in the world to settle on old poorly-upgradable languages for everything. So hopefully there will always be a choice.
The passage in question:

> One study of "toy preferences" in vervet monkeys was ambiguous, since the boy vervets seemed most interested in the plush dog (a toy deemed "neutral") and the girl vervets paid relatively little attention to the doll. The girl vervets did prefer playing with the toy cooking pot, but exactly what they did with it was not reported.

"Only 6 percent of U.S. tech workers are African American
and 7 percent are Latino; 15 percent are Asian American
and 71 percent are white, according to 2011 census data."

Uggg, I hate statistics like those paraded in this article that are basically worthless without the corresponding percentages that each group represents of the general population.

FWIW:

General population Tech populations
. Caucasian 63% ???
. African Am. 13.6% 6%
. Latino 17% 7%
. Asian 13% 15%

When you look at it with these numbers it puts it in perspective. The original article made it sound like blacks, latinos and asians were disadvantaged to non-hispanic caucasians in that order from worst to least worse, when the reality is that latinos are least represented relative to the general population, african america has it a little bit less worse and asian americans actually were doing far better than white people relative to the percent of the general purpose that they represent.

I really want to see all sources of journalism hire an editor whose sole purpose is to double check that no stupid statistics make it to print.

Hey - yeah, "Ω500" https://github.com/mrspeaker/Omega500/ is the name for my library/engine thing that I use for game jams. I just wrote it because you have to publicly release any code you use for Ludum Dare before each competition. Several Ludum-Dares later and it's getting pretty good (for me, anyway! I made this game in about 8 hours over the weekend). Though the audio support is very very straight-forward: it's not tough at all if you're only targeting modern browsers.

All the code for the game is in the /ex directory: https://github.com/mrspeaker/Omega500/tree/master/ex/flapjam

If you're looking for a more mature library I'd look at Pixi.js for pure rendering awesomeness, or Impact.js for a great full-fledged engine.

Dogfooding is all about eating a possibly substandard product to provide feedback.

And then, you are expected to work on the feedback, so the product is not substandard anymore. I guess Microsoft is lagging on that part.

Anyway, I fully agree that if your employees are only using your product because you require it, you shouldn't release that, and that you shouldn't eat your own dogfood all the time.

Where are you based? It seems like in most places it's an employee's market right now (assuming you work for an employer). Given the diversity of front-end frameworks and how new most of the trendy ones are, I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone who's any good at front-end development and has a decent track record to prove it will be short of work any time soon, even if they don't have a full complement of buzzwords on the resume. And of course it's certainly not necessary if you're doing it for your own business or if you're consulting/freelancing and have your pick of tools.
> The sexes "start out a little bit different" in fussiness, says Eliot, and parents "react differently to them," producing the differences seen in adults.

What if human adults are wired to reinforce those different behaviors, for survival purposes? It's known that calories deprivation (the standard for most of human life) gives birth to more men than women, so it's not far fetched to think, e.g., protecting more one gender or stimulating more vicious behavior in another gender can be survival strategy. Any studies on that?

On a deeper level, where does the lines between biology and culture meet? Are those things even possible to dissociate?

I think those are the interesting questions regarding gender studies.
