> Exactly which behaviours seen during that scandal do you think should have been illegal or were borderline illegal?

Not a single one. Now I'm also wondering what you're seeing.

> Bear in mind that I draw a strong distinction between "undesirable" and "should probably be illegal".

Great, because that's what the opposition to the witchhunt has consistently been: Not that the majority of the witchhunt activities have been technically illegal, but that the acts themselves are undesirable in a community of differing views.

The precedence set by what happened to Eich because of his bigoted views (again, legal or not) should be sending panic through the progressive communities. But instead it's the opposite, people claiming that hunting this witch is OK because look, he's actually a witch.

And it's usually the same kind of people who will trot out the quote about "First they came for the Jews, ..." who are hypocritically clawing down the door to catch this particular member of the untermensch.

"Unless you disagree that they for example replace a lot of the barley with rice and corn"

The ingredient lists of the "cheap" beers were, in most cases, set in the 1800s, and remain unchanged. And they were set when rice was much more expensive in the US. And indeed even today rice is neck and neck with barley -- they aren't saving a penny using rice. Instead it was used specifically because it gave a lighter taste, because, again and amazingly, this is a preference of many drinkers. Many Japanese beers are heavy on the rice, and are considered "premium" products for it.

The notions of expensive versus cheap as a patron of a brand are often completely detached from reality.
Again, my point is simply that the idea behind a unified social layer was sound. The specific decision that sharing and commenting were the same thing is obviously bone-headed.

Wow, that's really striking.

I guess they're mostly just for error handlers?
This is what really bothers me about presidential elections. The candidate goes around making promises they KNOW they don't have the ability to follow through on. This works because most voters don't realize what the president can and cannot do.

Facebook I avoid, not because I don't trust or use Facebook but because I don't trust various facebook-based applications not to post spam in my feed.

But disqus? Absolutely, for the reason I outlined above. Disqus does what Google Plus should - a unified commenting infrastructure that is not opinionated about how comment threads should be run or identity or whatever.

Disqus has a lot of weaknesses, but they're mostly bugs and performance problems. Google should have made a Disqus and then bolted it onto their Facebook clone.

Instead, they made a Facebook clone and perverted it into a Disqus system.

"When people ask us why we charge for WhatsApp, we say "Have you considered the alternative?""

It must be frustrating for those users who really did consider this and thought $1 per year was a bargain. Over time those users may have convinced their friends to sign up and Whatsapp made that choice easy by being available on a lot of platforms.

Everyone has a price. The only way to really avoid this kind of situation is to push things to be decentralised/distributed or fully encrypted. That's even harder to do (but I'm working on it with a bunch of others - see my profile).

"The Gell-Mann amnesia effect"
You're missing one more part of the issue with advertising: brainwashing. In some ways, I'd rather have a silly, mismatched and ugly ad than an ad that's actually effective at altering my behavior. Pretty much the only situation when I want to see an ad is when I'm looking for a specific product, and there always used to be venues that were very effective at that (specialist press, classifieds, or popular streets where restaurants have their windows). Pretty much anywhere else ads are unwelcome, even if they manage to be "nice", and effectively constitute selling chunks of my brain to get access to Facebook.

And, for the other point, the "tiny, innovative, disruptive startup" is something I've never bought. At best, it's outsourcing the R&D risk, with very few exceptions. So much innovation happens either in academia, or in terrible, huge corporations like Boeing or Stadler.

I would also recommend supplementing with N-Acetyl-Cysteine - try perhaps ~500mg for each two drinks you consume; experiment to find the right balance for you.

NAC is a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione, which the liver uses during step 2 of the alcohol metabolization process (acetaldehyde > acetic acid). It helps by ensuring the stores of glutathione in your liver are less likely to become depleted when you've had a few drinks or more, thus reducing the buildup of acetaldehyde in your system.

Incidentally, it may also have some efficacy in terms of hangover reduction, even among those unaffected by alcohol-related flushing, due to the same mechanism.
At times I've found eating to be a chore and wish I had a supplement like this to allow me to skip a meal. So I'll probably give this a try.

I don't think they're close to adoption. There are 7Bn phones in the world and growing. Granted a chunk are corporate which won't ever need WhatsApp, but most in third world countries still use burners.

And although there is likely a slow take up by the elderly, the next generation are all new customers. The 1/5th smartphone ratio can only go up. (This POV is of course assuming WhatsApp wins the messaging war, which is what FB is betting on)

It's more than "coders who don't know how to code", it's also managers who don't know how to read code or review diffs. Sadly, there are lots of experienced coders whose planning horizon stops as soon as the code works i.e., they don't maintain code or think in those terms as long as it's working. This is often why shops use these overreaching frameworks.

Systems administration is no different, which is why so many servers are now either straight-jacketed in OS packages + chef/puppet/ansible or such a mess they're the equivalent of spaghetti code.

IMO this is fundamentally a failure of higher education (EE/CS, IS ...).
Hmm. Facebook does it right: If you post something, comments on that post show up on your feed. If someone else shares that post, the share itself and comments on that shared post appear on the sharer's feed. No confusion, but I don't know that I'd call it a "unified social layer".

The author of the linked article certainly succeeded in avoiding vapid marketing copy. :)
I'd say that it goes beyond "this works". It's actively required for Presidential candidates to make promises they can't conceivably keep, because the voting public greatly overestimates the President's power and they demand it.

This doesn't excuse deliberately impossible promise-making, of course. But it means that whoever gets elected is going to have a bunch of impossible promises on his record, because anyone who doesn't make them won't win.
Thank you for your feedback!

We'll work on improving the explaination, but the problem is that we don't want to reveal too much.

Obviously, we will have to explain it better, so we will look for just the right amount of info, that will feel comfortable for us at this stage and at the same time enough to intreague people.
It's even worse for the content creator. Over the last two weeks a video I put on YouTube spiked to millions of views and trying to track the comments is insane.

You get an email about activity, you see activity on the YouTube comments, you see activity through G+ notifications -- and none of it makes sense.

Did this action occur on G+? YouTube? Is this a reply to something somewhere else? What the hell is going on?

I don't mind G+ integration at all, and I think it's a good step forward, but it is simply not working well on services like YouTube at the moment and impedes use.

Also, spam control for comments is just broken. Scroll down, hover, maybe the yellow "review spam comments" box appears and maybe it doesn't. I found it interesting that G+ shares were very, very frequently marked as spam.
Show HN: Phoenix – an ultra-fast SQL layer on top of Hbase
I think the Ben Franklin effect depends on the person willingly performing the favor. The cognitive dissonance arises from the conflict of their own willing action. Subconsciously the thought looks something like, "I don't like this person, but I did choose to help them, so I must not really dislike them all that much."

A punishment of service to the abused is likely forcing the attacker to do it against his will. If anything I think that would make the attacker feel even more hateful towards the abused. The subconscious thought is something like: "That little dweeb got me in trouble. Then they made me kiss up to him. I can't stand it."

The first time I ever connected to "the Internet" was over a packet radio link from my home, in a very rural area, through a digipeater at a (relatively) nearby ham radio club and then to the nearest university.

Of course, I don't really miss that 1200 baud extremely high latency connection but the convers servers were really cool.

Bear in mind, this is from a year ago, from early in its development. I'm not positive how much of this is inaccurate, but I know that omega-3 and other ingredients were added to round it out. I'd take this article with a grain of salt.
As far as I understand it, when the "future" keyword is hit it woudn't return control to the scheduler; it would introduce a special deferred value. Control would only return to the scheduler when something attempts to 'force' that deferred value.

You can think of these deferred values as being a getter and setter pair, sharing a reference:

var future = function() {
var x;
return {'getter': function () {
while (typeof(x) === 'undefined') wait;
return x;
},
'setter': function(val) {
x = val;
}};
};

In the article, future is a keyword rather than a function, and the getter and setter are called implicitly. The idea is that we can pass around references (the {'getter', 'setter'} pair) however we like without triggering any action; however, once the getter is called it will enter a loop, polling and 'waiting' (switching execution back to the scheduler) as long as the setter's not been called.

The radical part here is the 'wait', which I've made up to illustrate the point, and is the crux of the whole thing. It's basically a cooperative multithreading mechanism. This would let an asynchronous API be turned into a synchronous one, since we just need to wait for the result with a polling loop like my example above.

Whether that's a good idea or not is debatable. Personally I think it's a bad idea; shared mutable state is the cause of all concurrency problems (race conditions, locks, deadlock, livelock, etc.) so it absolutely should not be default or implicit. The idea that 'concurrent' == 'multithreaded' needs to die; multithreading is a dangerous anti-feature which uses a little syntax to hide a whole new language semantics, breaking all intuitions about our code and throwing safety properties out of the window.

Thankfully Javascript hasn't fallen into this trap yet; eg. WebWorkers uses message-passing instead.
