> I suspect they have a base OS installation and then have a post-boot encrypted partition which requires manual passphrase entry over ssh or console to unlock, containing all the relevant data. That's a pretty normal way to set up remotely-adminned fairly secure servers.

Debian and Ubuntu both support this pretty painlessly.

1) Do the base install with full disk encryption.

2) Put an ssh public key into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

3) Install dropbear.

4) Force a initramfs rebuild if it doesn't happen automatically.

You'll get an initramfs that has dropbear ssh embedded which you can log into and unlock the disk.
Ten days later, but the point to this was that if there was demand for keeping the full copy of "Half Baked" that I felt like watching once last year on my hard drive, implementing that sort of feature would be a DRM problem, not a "waiting for downloads" problem. If you can stream the show once, you can keep it on your hard drive without downloading any additional data. There is no "waiting for downloads" necessary.

Nice personal attacks though. I was only responding to what you wrote, which contributed nothing to the conversation btw. So that was probably a dumb idea on my part.
No. Errors in production have become more common because they have become much more tolerable (cheaper and faster to fix), and (apart from the massively increased feature scope and complexity of the environment) tolerating errors (that are soon fixed) gets you more features and shorter time-to-market.

Users value software that does more and is available now more than software that is perfect, but does less and comes out next year.
that's a really interesting idea. It didn't occur to me that that was even a possibility. cool.

It's interesting to note that Franken is/was both a strong proponent of net neutrality and a strong proponent of SOPA.

> When you have outside investors, you have an obligation to give them an opportunity to cash out.

A moral obligation perhaps, but no legal obligation. As long as you control the board, nothing prevents you from taking investors money and essentially pocketing it as long as you can find enough suckers. In fact, one could view the public market as the suckers of last resort, particularly for companies that don't pay dividends and have two-tiered stock structures (e.g. Google and Facebook).

Hi. If I understand it's like parsing and putting a link extract for users next the content. So if it's that it can be help some.

But quick question, if I want the content and the video/photo under the same bookmark link. Will it not be as getpocket?.

If you don't mind. I will be more interested on the app that can track the update of the content or the comments or even the product price. But I don't know either if it's good idea.

Good luck.
5 things that smartest product companies do to create inspired word of mouth
Really? At what temperature and pressure does consciousness change state? What is its density? What are consciousness's component particles? Does it fill a container, or have a fixed volume? What's the index of refraction of consciousness? How do we transition elements like copper or iron into consciousness, or is it only reachable by certain particles like bosons?

I'm curious about the answers, because it sounds like none of those questions actually make any sense, but they would have to be answerable of any proposed new phase of matter.

You can't just call something a state of matter without understanding what that actually means.

"...physicists have been reluctant to discuss consciousness, considering it a topic for quacks and charlatans."

Maybe they were on to something.
Chrome's experiment of hiding the URL is awful
I haven't read all his work, but I guess Shakespeare didn't use "hangn" and "hangin" as an alternative to "hanging".
The author could validate the words against a dictionary, but it would still be flawed due to conjugations being counted as different words.

We might all be self-confessed hackers, but we'll never explicitly confess our adoration for the gloriousness of the genre that is gangster rap.
I'm curious if words that Shakespeare invented count. There are many words that we see first used by Shakespeare, though some of them were probably words invented during his time by others with him merely being the first to record (in documents that survived until today).
"To enter a Chinese character, you type its pronunciation and then select the desired character from a on-screen menu."

Not everyone uses a phonetic typing method. Many people use wubi (五笔) which is based on the structure of the characters. Although this still uses a QWERTY keyboard, I suspect it doesn't help make people more familiar with the roman letters (in terms of memory, or mapping letters to English sounds).

Difference Between Jailbreaking, Rooting and Unlocking
Weird Al's songs are not articulate masterpieces, but cheap parodies of other rap songs and rappers. He's probably somewhere around the 5,000 mark with the other artists.

A cursory google on the size of the average vocabulary [1] yields an interesting fact. I'm not sure how watertight it is. I realise it's probably unfair to compare the size of the average vocabulary to that of a series of songs. Songs being shorter for one. Still, it's interesting.
That's a really great point, thank you.

My only possible objection is to observe that clearly some things are important/necessary to teach, others aren't, and all we're arguing about is which of these URL's fall into. Nobody here is (currently) arguing against such basic things as login's and passwords, or that "foo@example.com" should obviously to everyone be an email.

The reason I think URL's are over the line is because everything after the domain name is usually an implementation detail. Some sites will have "id=234234234", some sites will have complicated paths, some sites will have nice, readable URL's, and a large part of the difference is the specific framework or approach that the Web Devs decided to use. Do you really think it's important for people to understand the decisions behind this? That's over the line IMO.

Also, another knock against URL's being required is that, de facto, people don't understand URL's and seem to use the web just fine. That's because us selfless developers have been working hard to abstract away the issue from users. I think most users don't understand URL's, and this doesn't bother them in the least until you get to issues like phishing attacks. So all Chrome would be doing is recognizing an existing situation, and helping make it better.

Lastly, I'd like to point out that even the easy examples you mention, e.g. passwords, are something that most users don't really understand, and for exactly that reason, developers have been trying to get rid of passwords for many years. And IMO, one of the big benefits of Facebook is that it makes the "send a message to someone" game much easier than email for real users, so that's a knock against email.

I really don't think that understanding URL's is akin to being basically literate. I think the bar is much lower, and that we as developers forget just how much specialized knowledge we already know, and how much the average user already has in order to use a computer these days.

That said, it's a great analogy so thanks for bringing it up!
Just like you or I know tens of thousands of words, but only use some small subset of them in any given work, you wouldn't expect that Shakespeare would use his entire productive vernacular in producing the limited corpus of his literary works.
> In that loop one should check that len is at least 1 first...

No. The code is correct in that regard if you use int for i and len. Having to check len is an artifact of using unsigned.

> I read that page, or at least some of it, it mostly seemed to be opinion rather than solid reason.

I'm not talking about the comments. I'm talking about what Bjarne Stroustrup (the designer of C++) and Chandler Carruth (Google's LLVM lead) are saying in the video (and which is summarized in the top comment).
A spy plane has a transponder so you don't shoot a friendly/neutral aircraft down (or waste time classifying it as friendly/neutral.)

The codes it squawks can be modified in various ways but there will be scenarios when you want your transponder, such as flying in an area where you have air superiority.
If a rapper released one song using n distinct words their score would be n/1, and if they released a second song using the same set of words their score would halve, to n/2, despite the fact their demonstrated vocabulary is still n words.

In fact, if their first song used n distinct words and their second used a completely distinct set of words, but the second song was shorter than the first, their score would drop.

That would be unusual behaviour for a measure of vocabulary.
Interesting. From what I can tell though, the lack of support from those TLDs seems to be deliberate rather than due to any technical challenge (the domain you register ends up just looking like standard alphanumeric ASCII with some dashes). I may be wrong, but it probably requires more effort for a TLD to disallow IDNs as they'd have to implement a test to try and detect a punycode string within the ASCII.

The one technical challenge I suppose could be a concern would be optionally implementing some sort of test to detect domain registration attempts that use similar-looking characters to those in existing legitimate domains (e.g., registrations from scammers attempting phishing attacks with domains that look similar to other domains but use different extended characters).

Still, it feels like the lack of support from these TLDs is more a matter of policy than a technical challenge.
I would love to see this analysis without filters. Who is the rapper with the largest vocabulary? What does the distribution look like at the top? Surely Antipop Consortium or MF DOOM have larger vocabularies than Aesop for instance.
I think the only problem I see is that some rap groups are listed as rappers. For instance beastie boys, de la soul and wu tang are listed. So there is some collective vocabulary being compared to single rappers. That said this is cool and pretty telling. From what I could see it is probably loosely couple to the intelligence of the rappers listed. I will echo the sentiments about DMX here. Looks like some shock jock rappers definitely are low on the list (too short).
Mmm.. if there's an article with a video/image it would work like pocket. But sincerely I'm not sure what it should do with articles or text pages, actually I have thinked more about other types of content. Maybe you have a set of photos that you like spread on a lot of differe sites: you could create a simple list of links but it would be a lot easier if you could access only the content that matters, in this case the photo, in a direct and uncluttered way.

For those who aren't familiar with Aesop Rock, I'd invite you to give him a listen sometime. His earlier albums, in particular, have been very influential to me in many ways. Both in my artistic and professional careers.

From comments on the conditions of the working man and the condition of feeling trapped in a "j-o-b"[1]:

"Now we the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pastimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sounds dope"

To storytelling masterpieces regarding living and dreaming[2]:

"Look, I've never had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done
So I've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!"

Aesop Rock takes language and linguistics to entirely different levels than one might expect from the single genre that is hip-hop. He even challenges himself and the listeners, playing fantastic word games, for instance re-using the letters L, S, and D in odd and rhythmical ways after a mention[3]:

"Lazy summer days
Like some decrepit landshark dumb luck squad dog lurks sicker deluded
Last sturdy domino lean's secluded
Don't let stupid delusions lesson super-duty labor students
Dragnet lifer solutions
Daddy loved sloppy dimensions like son-daughter links
Such determinated lepers, successfully disheveled
Little soliders developed like serpents despite life sentence ducking
Lemmings
Some don't like sobriety's dirty lenses
Some do"

And then there are just incredible gems that stick with you like[4]:

"I don't flick neeedles like my sick friend
I don't march like Beetle Bailey through a quick trend
I don't frequent church's steeples on my weekend
And I don't comment if you formulate a weak Zen"

There's a lot to explore from Aesop Rock. Should you find this type of hip-hop interesting, a decent place to start is with the label you can find these songs on, Definitive Jux[5]. Incredible talent has been on and off that label over the years. So much good stuff.

I'm not here to discuss the tool. It's a good tool. Nothing wrong with it. It's a great tool, worth discussing. It has its uses etc.

However, there's nothing visibly new with each repost. If someone posted like a release, or maybe a changelog, or a blog post with some feature updates, sure. But as of right now, I see Prose get reposted monthly, with no visible changes. And THAT'S annoying.

My uncle was friends with some guys who set up a small game shop in Michigan in... 1982? They had some text adventure games, and were branching out in to video games for C64 at that time. They were called Aardvark Software in... White Lake Township, I think. My dad and uncle took me out to meet them at their 'office' - a small house/shack with a whole mess of computers. I don't remember much of the visit, but the idea that people could just sit around and work on games was inspiring, as run down as the house was ;)

IIRC there was a cassette tape duplication machine, but that may just be a foggy memory. I seem to remember a lot of cassettes in plastic baggies, and there were some 5.25" floppy disks in baggies as well.

Right around that time they put out 'Pacacuda', a PacMan variation with a barracuda/fish angle. My uncle was angling to have them call it 'Fish Lips', but they stuck with Pacacuda.

Not sure what happened to them after that.

> "Wu-Tang Clan at #6 is fucking impressive given that 10 members, with vastly different styles, are equally contributing lyrics. Add the fact that GZA, Ghostface, Raekwon, and Method Man's solo works are also in the top 20 – notably, GZA at #2. Perhaps their countless hours of studio time together (and RZA’s mentorship) exposed each rapper’s vocabulary to one another."

At least in the case of the Wu-Tang Clan, this seems to be done on purpose and suggests that there is a strong correspondence between the individual members' repertoire on one hand and the group's vocabulary as a whole, with a presumed exchange in both direction (i.e. both as a deductive and an inductive process).
The latter is probably more the case. The OED, for instance, has had a bias in favor of using Shakespeare as a word's origin since that dictionary's first edition. The number of words attributed to Shakespeare in the OED has dwindled over time.

> but creates an entire class of users that don't understand what a URL is.

Most people have little idea what an URL is, nor how to use an address bar.

Watch a few people navigating to http://www.example.com/example.html to see what they do.

I personally have never understood the huge sums of money paid by some people for some URLs. I can't remember URLs; I can't remember keywords. What I can remember is some fragment of a page title, and I hope that's enough to find it in my bookmarks or in a websearch.

I wish Google would just release some numbers about the numbers of people who get this stuff wrong, because learning how many people use (correctly) the + operator made that change much easier to cope with.

"Hotmail.com might as well be Cyrillic".

This is not a good comparison because Cyrillic (at least, the slavic version) has almost a one-to-one relation to its latin counterparts. Russian Cyrillic is a little more complex, with letter modifiers (like "soft sign" and "hard sign") while in other flavors like Serbian Cyrillics, those characteristics were built into the language.

Hotmail.com directly transliterated to Cyrillic would be: хотмаил.цом (h=х, i=и, l=л, c=ц and the rest are the same).

The difference could be that the US market for smart phones is warped through carrier subsidies. A $600 iPhone only costs a consumer $199 up front (they pay the difference through larger monthly fees).

So, at purchase time, an iPhone isn't an expensive phone. But, if you have to replace it off contract, it's very expensive. When it gets stolen, that $200 phone suddenly becomes a $600 phone, which probably leads people to more drastic action, like following criminals to their homes.

It's interesting that you think that. I'd recommend you look at this: http://www.shakespeare-online.com/biography/wordsinvented.ht...

It's the tone. yao sounds very different from liu because of the tone. yi also sounds different from liu because of the tone. yi does not sound very different from qi, and yi is hard to disambiguate with multiple yi in a row.

you use yao because it's easier to understand

qi yao yao yao ba san

than

qi yi yi yi ba san

It's mostly the qi yi yi / yi yi yi that gets hard to disambiguate.

What is likely happening is that you don't yet have the ear for the tone.
I got it about a week and a half ago in Canary, and I stuck with it for about a week until it was disabled. I didn't like the idea but I'm interested in new UI experiments.

I hated it. Not only for the reasons other people mention (it makes copying and pasting cognitively more difficult, and even after a week it didn't really get any easier) but also because I would argue that on sites with halfway-decent URLs, it's a navigation device. We already lost the title bar, and apparently the URL bar was acting as secondary indicator of what page I'm on. It was really, really disorienting.

I do wonder whether Google only planned to display the feature for a week, or if it got feedback from my navigation habits and disabled it. And what, if any, indicators they're using to measure success. (or at least non-failure)
