that's funny--by and large the people in my social circles who skipped 4 year college and went into blue collar trades or nursing have done better than those who went for 4 year degrees or grad school.

And of course the fact that the corporate media is supported in part by advertising buys from college has nothing to do with the fact that the media is constantly promoting college. Nothing at all.
Fans of shady government games should check out Floor 13, an early 90s game where you are in charge of a secret British agency charged with keeping the Prime Minister popular by any means necssary. I vaguely remember manipulating the press and torture being some of the options. Sadly, I was never able to play the game very much. My friends and I all had Macs, and were never able to get our Windows emulator to run it very long without crashing. And at some point afterwards, when we had access to PCs, we were defeated by its copy-protection scheme (despite having a legitimate copy!) and by then many more games were much more compelling.

Even if we'd been able to play it, though, it's not clear we'd have gotten much more out of it than we'd gotten by reading 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and being at the mercy of the administration of an American public high school.

As for this game, it seemed much more compelling in the intro screen, which resembled some sort of Twitter / Facebook wall and had some cool effects while scrolling. When the actual game started it seemed like a puzzle game combined with a paranoia game, which is great for those who are already convinced by the world the game depicts but not convincing otherwise. It might be a tougher game mechanic to figure out, but it might be more compelling if the UI were Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter clones, and the game was such that the player attempted to sift through volumes of intercepted correspondence and communication metadata, fingering bad guys, political opponents, and hapless citizens, and, with limited resources, decided who to investigate/hassle. The game could have real terrorists that need to be detected, rewarding real detections and penalizing false positives, or have super-cynic Floor 13 mode, where the player used the surveillance system to their own personal gain. Or, turn the system described in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6882378 into a game (I posted then and still believe that the concerns there were, while possible, vague and improbable, but possibly a game could convince me and others otherwise).

I also don't think that the situation is grave enough to sacrifice human health, yet. Certainly, if one person could sacrifice themselves to save 100,000,000 from certain doom, then it's an easy calculation. (Not me or my family, though, please.) The current situation is more like "this is expensive to keep cool". No need to kill anyone else.
That is the current mtgox.com announcement. Obviously since that announcement was written before the call center had started, it's not the announcement that the call center person was talking about.

From the text layout of the pdf it is anyone's guess. There are no verso/recto margins but chapters always start on odd pages and the header/footer is setup for verso/recto. Hopefully the final version will have better typesetting regardless of distribution medium.
> WHO THE FUCK IS TRADING ON STOCK TIPS FROM YAHOO FINANCE MESSAGE BOARDS?

Not "is"; "was". This was during the dotcom bubble. A lot of people were paying attention to Yahoo finance boards, most of them pretty unsophisticated investors (obviously). Everybody knew someone who had made $10,000s to $MMs on the stock market and nobody wanted to be the only sucker to miss out--like the teachers in this story, taking stock picks from their students. Pretty crazy times.

I'm actually going to take you to task on this once, precisely because the NYPD is set to become a "minority majority" force if current hiring trends continue. I've had many, many more interactions with the police than these two incidents in a variety of different contexts and I believe they're decent human beings who want to do the right thing. The systematic mistreatment of all underprivileged groups (including poor whites and the mentally ill, btw.) is, when you look at it, the bad cops getting the outsized share of attention. There are lots of cops who do the right thing when they can, I see it happening all the time even beyond the patina of the blue line of intimidation.
i can't condone the behavior of flyphp but i can't really condone the behavior in the comments of the pull request either.

maybe i am too forgiving but i'd attribute this to ignorance before malice.

the pull request was an appropriate response. the berating comments that followed are immature and detract from my sympathy toward the issue.
I understand I was just mentioning that people do try new things but the majority of managers and owners don't want to break a model that makes them serious coin, it will happen sooner or later but until then they will beat it to death.
Nice title.

I'm hoping for a Math textbook written like its an abusive drill sergeant.

You have no CONCEPTION of what a hard math problem might look like. This math is not hard. This math is easy. And I'm gonna make you bust your brain against these exercises until you make it look easy. Now pick up that goddam pencil and WORK your brain."

From the other end, it looks like you are intentionally withholding information from us--information that has a meaningful impact on our decision process. While that may be expected in the world of sales, to people like us, it is a mortal insult.

While you might have good reasons, in your own opinion, to do it, you should be aware that your sensible business practice is making your product hate you.

I won't waste my time on recruiters that won't tell me the company name for a few reasons:

1. The recruiter that expects me to screw them by cutting them out of the loop is probably projecting--they screw candidates so often they think that no one has any integrity.

2. I hate recruiters and think I can get a better rate without one. The one time I actually got an offer with a recruiter involved, it was for 60% what I was currently making at another job. I rejected it on the spot, and the CEO said the offer was low because they would have to pay the recruiter based on what they paid me.

3. A company that doesn't want anyone to know they are hiring should be getting cold calls from psychiatrists, not just recruiters.

But really, the only reason I need involves trust. If you can't trust me to deal with you faithfully, how can I trust you to represent my interests to the company faithfully?

So, I don't use twitter, but I find it odd that clicking the link on a mobile device (iPhone) takes me to a landing page where I must log in or create an account to see what is being referenced. There isn't a link directly to the content.

I guess I'm not the target audience, but it really feels like I'm being turned away at the door of a particularly wonderful party that everyone is talking about.
I didn't put it in the article precisely because I didn't want the shift in focus--but this incident made me think a lot harder about wearing my Google Glass again.

That being said, there's absolutely no reason that cops should not have a camera on them at all times. It's more for their benefit than ours.

As far as technologies that reliably work, the stop-and-frisk app is actually quite good, but requires practice like anything else.

I'd also be all for photographing cops out of habit. I stopped short of recommending that...but, hell, there's plenty of fodder here for a good month's worth of posts.

I called them just now as well. Same outcome. All information would be given through daily updates on the website. No email communication set up yet. My agent was much less specific about when the site would be updated with new information.
I think your point about this audience is a fair one (and I myself make games for iOS), but I have trouble understanding the complaints.

My attempt to summarize:
- Charging up front won't work (some 2.99 apps are terrible therefore this one might be also)
- Free w/IAP for features are annoying because you can never truly buy the whole app
- Free is scary because of the way companies monetize free users

Each of those is true individually, but that doesn't leave a lot of options for a developer.

I don't the market is terrible because developers are so good at taking advantage of people. Rather, customers are willing to choose low quality apps over high quality apps if they are marginally cheaper.
Stripping the license and all author's reference on the work takes effort, no matter how small. It's just stupidity on his part. Thumbs up to the community.

The margin question is a good one, and you have to ask it in context of IBM. Nobody wakes up and says "Hey, let's go buy SVC for storage virtualization!". You go to buy IBM storage (lower margin) and layer on SVC and the other management software.

Think of a fast food scenario. The marginal cost of cheese on a hamburger is like 95% profit for a restaurant. That doesn't mean that you stop selling hamburgers for $1 and only sell slices of cheese for $0.25.
Anyone remember 2007? Apple's 'web apps are good enough' stance and everyone clamoring for a native SDK? Seems like things have gone full circle.
I think it was pointed at Twitter, because Twitter was down momentarily. The actual post is shared in the comments.

I do so agree. Axler's book is also by far the most Geometric book on Linear algebra that I've ever read.
Bear in mind, I didn't get a ticket from the Stop-And-Frisk incident, I got one for trespassing in Central Park a few months prior.

I plead not guilty because I was TOLD by the Police Officer that the ticket would get thrown out. I assumed this meant that the officer would not appear were I to appeal it, and when the officer appeals it gets thrown out.

What I didn't know is that the "ACD" option--Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal--was not offered to be at my arraignment. The first magistrate I saw wanted my $25, and didn't say a thing about throwing the ticket out. Not knowing my rights at the time (i.e. the ACD option), I plead Not Guilty.

Turns out the officer did appear and I was offered ACD. Had I continued with the trial, I would have made a point of the officer's statement saying that "this ticket would get thrown out as long as you appeared".

Also for the billions of dollars it funneled into Apple via distribution lock in.
The vast majority of apps that are not worth the bandwidth to install are basically mobile versions of the parent site with better data tracking.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a browser-like umbrella app appear that allowed for cross platform shit-app development where the native data tracking features were supported in that app and exposed as a standardized API for the second-layer apps. It wouldn't improve the quality of "Download our app!"-apps, but it would at the very least standardize them. I know that there are cross-platform development efforts now, but I'm thinking something more limited and targeted.

Also, wrt therobot24, Atwood doesn't express issue with monetizing. Rather, with the information asymmetry that exists in app stores you must gamble the $0.99-3.99 to see whether or not it was worth it. When you do, you're more than likely to find out that the app is shit and you've also handed over a bunch of your data anyways.
so we agree that "It's just stupidity on his part".

we disagree in that i think a community like github should meet stupidity with education, whereas you seem to prefer an angry mob.

Do any teams in Google write a human readable change log?

The only one I know of that comes close is the Chrome team, which gets by with a blogspot[1] that sometimes has nice lists of the changes (sometimes in list form, sometimes in a paragraph with loads o' commas), and sometimes says stuff like:

> A partial list of changes in this build is available in the SVN revision log http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/perf/dashboard/ui/chang...

And here with Go 1.2.1 we get this[2].

It's not a huge deal in this case, but if you release a version and link to it and want us to know why its significant, it would be nice to find out why in English instead of SVN-ese.

Compare this to the great, readable version that Firefox offers[3]

I know it's a hard job...that was part of the point that I think got lost in the whole article. That being said, this intimidation strategy (along with the rampant drug war incarceration of anyone who isn't 100% clean) has "cleaned up the city". Once the crime rates start going up again, it's going to get a lot worse.

Beat cops aren't just supposed to write traffic citations. They're supposed to get a litany of these "pink ticket"s, which account for all the quality of life violations that the Broken Window theory goes after.

Could you provide a source on those figures? I would be interested to learn about it.
> I have some predictions: Gox will not be bailed out.

MtGox will not be bailed out because of the relative unimportance of bitcoin to the larger economy, not of any high-minded free market idealism.

Since the MtGox explosion, bitcoin prices (and therefore real purchasing power) are down by about 30%. If bitcoin were a national currency, the government would be doing everything in its power to prevent such a decline, including saving MtGox by any means possible. It would absolutely be too big to fail.

By way of comparison, Greece's economic woes drove its real purchasing power down by about 11%.
The Ellen DeGeneres Tweet
I don't know of a comprehensive survey of all kinds of malleability evidenced in the blockchain. It should be possible.

The issue with using it to estimate an upper bound on potential MtGox losses is that since some portion of MtGox's historic transactions were non-canonical, a third-party mutation could result in a 'normal' transaction entering the blockchain... but MtGox still confused, perhaps to the point of loss. Any survey would miss such transactions.

Maybe there's a private archive of never-confirmed transactions. Since it seems MtGox at times provided a public feed of (some of?) its own intended transactions, someone who'd been scraping/saving that for long enough might have a useful estimator dataset.

I don't really believe that this is the issue.

Developers are dying for a cross-platform solution for mobile development. If one existed that had complete parity with existing mobile platforms (including integration with OS and distribution model), except with current mobile web's performance, you really think that most developers would continue to just do everything twice?

Message on mtgox.com from Mark Karpeles
Ah yes, you're right. Thank you, great way of explaining it.
Hey, so this would be my job, I guess.

The reason I don't bother writing a separate change log is that I'd end up duplicating what the 5 changes on that page (above 1.2, the previous release) already say. All are subtle things that are of little meaning to most people, so I figure those that really care are going to read the changes anyway. Maybe I should revisit this next minor release.

I should note that there is WAY more in that Firefox point release than in any Go point release. We strictly include only critical fixes for issues for which there is no workaround. For Go point releases, most people should just install them and move on. For 99.9% of Go programmers there is "nothing to see here".

As has been already mentioned, we do provide a detailed change log for major releases: http://golang.org/doc/go1.2 http://golang.org/doc/go1.1

Yeah, that would definitely be beyond the scope of bare-bones as it would require cooperation with a bunch of router producing companies. I think a previous poster adequately covered the reasons this is a no-go. Appreciate the input though.
I'm really not sure I want to see the day that Javascript webapps have the same level of access to system resources (camera, microphone, address book) that native apps now have. Even if the OS asks the user for permissions. Especially considering how broken the permission systems on both major mobile platforms are.

Perhaps it's time to stop saying "begging the question" and start exclusively using "assuming the conclusion" instead.

It's more self-explanatory, for one, and is less misused in the vernacular.
Personally, I appreciate that each mobile platform has its own look and feel, design cues, etc. It's what makes using iOS and OSX so nice, at least for me. (But this applies more to offline apps, since web-centric apps like Facebook will look similar on every platform. And I agree that apps for every website is a crappy way to go forward.)

Of course it doesn't. I'm firmly in the native camp, and I honestly didn't find this article convincing. I'll believe that mobile webapps are as performant, secure, and capable as native apps when I see it happening on a regular basis.
Yea it's something of an impossible situation, and that really sucks. I would gladly give money to something that would enrich my life somehow, but trudging through the crap isn't worth it. Most of the time is wasted trying to figure out exactly what it is i'm looking for, as opposed to looking for that one app that fits my need.
>it's 90% MBAs and Recruiters and no talent.

Probably because having talent in the tech industry makes it relatively very easy to get hired. These sites are trying to solve a mostly non-existent problem.
