To be fair, Cuban's already complained about the stupid short sleeve jerseys, I would guess he'll complain about this too. He's often in hot water for not toeing the party line about various stupidities in the NBA (which IMO is only not the worst run league in the US because Hockey in NA is so poorly run).

Baseball seems to have a lot more games than football, and it manages to stay in business.

Seems to me the head injury problem might taken a more prominent role in the future of football. If football becomes more commonly viewed as a gladiator battle that liquifies the participants brains, it might become less popular. Then again, boxing doesn't seem to going broke, either.
I have some connection to that company and would definitely agree with the sibling post that privacy is a huge concern for them.

Another interesting thought is this: All your snail mail metadata is (obviously, but have you recently thought about it?) already available in digital form: No one's reading the addresses by hand on your letters or parcels (unless absolutely necessary, i.e. OCR fails).

So they (post services in general) already constantly have to handle the (digital) information of person A sending something to person B, at roughly time X. Feels like smtp.
I think this would have been really useful in my last role where as a government contractor we had to get three bids for everything we purchased/rented on behalf of the client. We often had to set up events at the last minute and I could see this making our purchases go much faster. I hated tracking down whose desk a PO got stuck on or where we were in the bid process.

I see it a lot. What's worse is up and down votes are a corrective mechanism.

If you get downvoted, that kinda feels bad, if you get upvoted, that kinda feels good. It shapes your discussion and teaches you the rules of what the community finds acceptable/unacceptable.

What is the honest to god pragmatic result of this policy?

You're training people not to say something others disagree with.

Even if you don't agree with that, downvote to disagree causes pragmatic problems outside of training! Consider a discussion where someone starts off with an unpopular view, and then an interesting discussion happens back and forth between two parties discussing that position. Downvote to disagree hides that discussion.

I know personally I've been suffering Football fatigue these last few years. Frankly the only reason I watched much football at all last year is because my team was doing well (Broncos). Once Manning retires I wouldn't be surprised if I end up taking an NFL hiatus because it has gotten so ridiculous.

Throw in the fact most of the Thursday Night games ended up with at least one team playing horribly likely in part due to the short recovery period from previous games...

And that doesn't even get into the whole "expanding to London" thing which is such a cash grab that is in no other way good for the League...
Does anybody really believe anything else at this point? I don't see how it could have done anything but crashed somewhere, and we just don't know where or why yet.

If it landed safely, or even semi-safely somewhere, I don't see how there could be people still alive after this much time, but haven't managed to find some way to contact somebody.

I don't think much of any of the hijacking theories either. Okay, maybe it was an attempted hijacking and something went wrong, leading to the crash, but I can't see it having landed somewhere for later use, as some people seem to be speculating. Anybody who has access to a runway to safely land and take off again such a large jet, and who can afford enough fuel to get it in the air again and can actually get that fuel to it without somebody taking notice, plus make enough changes and file appropriate flight plans to fly it anywhere, surely has enough resources to just buy their own jet instead of using some wacky plan to hijack a fully loaded passenger airliner, thus drawing the full attention of the world.

People always point to soccer(football everywhere else) as a sport that has done this successfully. Wasn't the original driving reason that they don't have commercial breaks. If NBA took out all commercial breaks (maybe except team timeouts) I don't think ads on the jerseys would be a horrible trade off.
Great, now they can stick their ATM's on a 2.6.x kernel and not touch it for another 10 years. Everybody wins right?
It's also worth noting that there's already a Thursday game broadcasted on the NFL network.

The issue with spreading games out comes down to people's ability to schedule and set aside time to watch. Currently if you're a fan of one team you need to figure out if your team plays on Thur, Sun or Monday. If it's Sunday you then need to figure out if it's at 1:00, 4:30 or 8:00.

For those who don't want or intend to pay for the NFL Network, the options are only Sun/Monday.

I would argue that this "simple" schedule makes it easier for fans to tune in, and block off time to enjoy their team play.

Looks interesting, but from what I understand it's a really really bad idea to run ZFS without ECC RAM. So is this geared purely toward Mac Pro/Hackintosh users, since no other Mac models use ECC RAM? Or does this somehow do things differently?

Oh, and it looks like it still doesn't play nice with Spotlight. That's a dealbreaker for me until they fix that.
> But for everyone else I think that's enough data

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure saying that would be "enough data" for someone, but it shouldn't be. Because, in fact, things have improved. It's pretty common to see that something doesn't work (both on Linux and Windows), but it's almost always can be fixed both on Linux and Windows. But what surprised me is the fact that everything just works out of the box (I mean in sense of hardware support) now on Linux more often than on Windows. It wasn't like that not so long time ago. There are few quite common problems (UEFI stuff, Nvidia drivers) that are quite "linux-specific", but range of supported right out of the box devices improved dramatically.
That's the point the article is missing. Many people currently creating HTML5 games are not motivated by money. They can be hobbyists or people familiar with JS who wants to try making a game using a language they already know. As a consequence this lead to the apparition of many game engine/frameworks/libraries just like the last few years have seen an explosion of "generalist" JS frameworks/libraries. And this explains why the last few weeks we saw many flappy birds and 2048 clones. Well, and the Flappy Game Jam probably helped regarding the formers too.

And as these types of games can be quite addictive, while using JS made them easy to share over Twitter or Facebook, no wonder they were so successful.

For the moment there is nothing indicating that these two free successes could lead to the commercial success of paid web games. At least nothing so far that would make developers migrate from native apps.

I do agree with this. Adding storage to an existing droplet would be nice. Even if it required adding a separate "disk", this would be useful. But obviously, adding, for example, 20GB disk after disk after disk could lead to a lot of annoyance.
I thought about that, but I've said nothing here that would hinder my case. They outright stole from me, and then when I called them on it, they responded with extortion. They aren't in a great legal position.

Well, obviously we want to prevent stealing the HTTP session. But maybe someone steals the user's password - we can't protect the user's password for him.

So when someone from the US suddenly logs in on another continent we want to detect that. Sure they could use a proxy, but maybe. Since it's a B2B app people rarely use it out of the office.

I read eCommerce shops do it, payment providers as well. So there seems to be something to it...
This article was useful in identifying a number of different possible approaches to designing templates using JavaScript - digging in to the supporting links, libraries, and approaches was a good learning experience and brought me some new ideas about how to best build applications moving forward.

Specifically, digging into RActive it seems like it may be good for more straightforward data binding use cases. The template engine chooser was also new to me, and fun to run through: http://garann.github.io/template-chooser/

>it might become less popular

Nope. You think the average NFL player, who knows by around middle school if they're going to get on the track to go pro or not, cares about or is actively thinking about their physical condition in ~40 years in addition with the potential millions they'll be making in ~10? Not in the least. A lot more banging of pots and pans needs to occur before the general public gets it in their heads that the sport is incredibly dangerous and will be ruinous for one's physical health down the line. It's bad enough that the NFL and ESPN all but swept the concussions ordeal/settlement under the rug...and why wouldn't they when there are insane profits to be had?
Next time I have a "bad" bug I'll try and remember this.
The NSA is burning down the web, but what if we rebuilt a spy-proof internet?
The NFL has tried to put player safety at the forefront of it's PR with all this concussion prevention talk; otherwise the talent pipeline would eventually start drying up as more and more parents would stop letting their kids play football. But I can assure you, alongside the head injury issues, Thursday games are only going to increase injury in the long term as they stand now.

The right move is to push for an 18 week/16 game season, each team gets two bye weeks and only plays on a Thursday game when coordinated with one of their byes to allow maximum recovery. The NFL can then sound the trumpets of encouraging player safety as well as broadcast more games.

DDOS is now part of the weather of the Internet. Take it into account or suffer the consequences.

When high-profile sites got attacked by Anonymous, the rest of us could laugh and blame those orgs for bringing down the wrath upon themselves.

But the truth is that those were noteworthy exceptions to the norm, which is that DDOS attacks happen frequently and for no discernible reason.

We would laugh today at a major site that allowed itself to be taken down by a SQL injection. Time to start thinking the same way about DDOS.

Well the problem with Scala is at first it looks like a concise java but it's not. Truth is it's closer to Lisp with a C syntax. If you dont understand some idioms like lazy evaluation, everything is a method or pattern matching you probably should use it. I think scala rocks. The only downside is the slow compiler. But SBT , worksheets , stuff like that are just awesome to toy with stuffs in an interactive manner.

Your first point isn't an issue as they're not proposing extending the ovral # of games.

Your second point is valid, and I would add that the rhythm, and amount of preparation needed to play American football at the highest level is seriously compromised when you play on Thursday. If the NFL only has teams who have a "buy" week on Thur than the problem is mitigated (can anyone confirm this?), but it takes serious effort to prepare (and heal) for an NFL game and the players/coaches surely won't enjoy the abbreviated prep time caused by the new time slot.
Here, LLVM is not used to output an independent and self-contained binary (that would hardly make sense). It's used as a backend for HiPE's native code generation[0], and it's possible that the rest of HiPE (or part of the integration itself[1]) is not quite ARM compatible (especially ARM64)

[0] http://erllvm.softlab.ntua.gr/documentation/design/pipeline/

[1] "The linearized RTL code is translated to LLVM Assembly. […] After the translation is completed, the LLVM code is printed to a file and the LLVM toolchain is invoked in order to produce an object file. […] The lib/hipe/llvm/elf64_format.erl module is responsible for extracting the binary code and all other necessary information from the object file."

I'm going to play devil's advocate and completely disagree with you here :)

Customers, especially non-technical ones, don't give a crap. What they want to know is when the service will be back up, and what steps you're taking to prevent it happening in the future, although I'm sure a certain percentage would be interested in why this is happening in the first place (not as in the technical breakdown, but why you didn't have a contingency plan).

If I'm a customer of Basecamp it looks to me like 37Signals is couching this as if they are the victims here, when really I am the victim. They're business isn't being disrupted... mine is! I pay them to abstract me away from the gory details... if I wanted to deal with that stuff I'd pay people to build it in house. My job as a customer isn't to sympathize with an outage, it's to move to a service that won't have one.

After turning in a term paper a day late a wise professor once told me "It doesn't matter if your excuse is true, it's still an excuse." The basic facts are the job didn't get done, and the person to blame is the person who didn't get the job done. Any modern web service that doesn't take the simple effort to sign up for cloudflare or their ilk to reduce attack surface doesn't deserve my money. (Admittedly a harsh perspective to take, but one many do take)
One of the best things about sports is that they are seasonal. If they weren't, people would grow tired of them and they wouldn't be that interesting.

For example, professional wrestling is a year round "sports" TV show. Without big events like special pay per view shows and such, it would have completely died. As it is, without "Wrestlemania Season" once a year, it would lose a lot of its audience over time because it would have trouble building to anything interesting. Professional wrestling has a resurgence once a decade or so because like many fads, there is a hook that gets people in, but since it never ends, people grow tired and move on to other things. The biggest performers - Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, Brett Heart, Steve Austin, Dwayne Johnson, and John Cena. Each one's careers coincided with a short "peak" in the business that eventually trailed off as another couple guys had their own peak 5-10 years later.

If NFL or any other sport moves towards more games, more tv, more exposure, it is going to risk being overexposed in a huge way.

Case in point - curling. One of the huge draws of curling is that for most Americans it is only on tv once every 4 years for the Olympics. That has added a mystique and an interest that makes it fascinating to watch. If curling was on every Saturday afternoon all year long, its ratings during the Olympics would drop.
The NBA is not run well, but they have grown a lot under the last commissioner while things like baseball and hockey have shrunk in popularity. The NBAs biggest problem is lack of talent and the long, meaningless regular season.

The best regular season in recent memory was the strike shortened season where they played maybe 50 games. The talent issue is harder to solve because in a 5 person game you need a least 1 super star per team to really matter. The be a super start in the NBA you need so many skills that it is similar in rarity to being a top QB in the NFL. There just are not many athletes at that level.

"Afraid that something will break" -- FWIW, I've replaced almost every FRU in those old Thinkpads at one point or another, and find them really easy to repair compared to other brands. But an R31, that's getting pretty up there in years. It's probably getting hard to find a spare for parts, let alone a relatively unused one that's got some years left in it as a backup machine.
Something along the lines of CloudFlare could be an option here. However, if the attacker does indeed know the actual IP of the Bootcamp servers (and Bootcamp allows traffic from IPs other than CF) that point is moot.

Set up CF, only allow traffic from CF.

On another note, having CF monitor an attack like this could help them do more research into mitigating these attacks in general and allow them to try and hunt the attacker. They tend to make things like this public which would benefit everyone.
NASDAQ: OSTK currently carries zero short- or long-term debt, has no bonds issued, and has no announced plans I am aware of to issue more shares from a quick glance at Google Finance. So current stock price activity won't affect the pricing of those financial instruments, since they simply don't engage in any of those.

However, what you do not see are precisely the daily operational and margin-related activities that don't make it onto the radar screens of Wall St. but do matter to the comptroller or even CFO. Vendors who you purchase goods and services from set payment terms factoring in an evaluation of the share price. Going from Net 90 to Net 30 will impact cash flow. If your share price action alarms someone enough, they may even refuse to do business except for paid-in-advance terms.

The share price also impacts your PR and marketing efforts. More alarming share price activity makes it more expensive to reach your customers; just as there are many fathers to a success story, no one wants to associate with a perceived loser, so your advertising spend per customer will go up to counter negative perceptions while only achieving the same revenue.

Similar dynamics obtain at the sales interface with customers. Your cash and time spend per customer for the same amount of revenue (thus dropping your margins) goes up with greatly negative perceptions incited by adverse share price activity. In the case of Overstock, it is not the b2c customers that watch the share price, but the b2b customers; the partners Overstock sources its inventory from.
It is extortion, not blackmail. While blackmail is a form of extortion, it's as you say - threats to reveal potentially damaging information.
I used them for 2-3 years, and wouldn't say I ever had any problems, but left after they upped prices with little advance notice. Especially when you're only stateside once a year or so, it becomes tricky to change providers. There are several similar services these days and some of the smaller players can be a better fit, depending on your mail volume and exact needs as far as scanning and forward shipping. I've been pretty happy with virtualpostmail the past few years now.
