Honestly, I don't see how you justified the decision and agree that it is "incredibly stupid." Am I not allowed to pay someone to set up my antenna? If I do should that involve other cable companies at all?

"The entire reason this law was written is because under an old law, cable companies ("community antenna television" in that day) were setting up antennas and running cable to multiple homes, charging the users for it, and not paying anything to the broadcasters/copyright holders."

I don't see what is wrong with this. Without that company, that person wouldn't be able to access the content - which is, itself, a "public performance." Otherwise, the person wouldn't be willing to pay for it. Either way, its an agreement between two private parties as to how they wish to access public information.

This is protectionism.

Finally, law enforcement’s remaining concerns in a particular case might be addressed by responding in a targeted manner to urgent threats of remote wiping, see Missouri v. McNeely, 569 U. S. ___, ___, or by taking action to disable a phone’s locking mechanism in order to secure the scene, see Illinois v. McAr- thur, 531 U. S. 326, 331–333. Pp. 12–15.

I believe the idea is that they can try to disable the lock in order to keep the evidence available for use after getting a warrant.
TL;DR: annual US GDP declined 2.9% because consumers spent less. In fact, they are not yet spending at rates anywhere near the rates at which they were spending before the financial crisis in 2008.

When consumers spend less, businesses in the aggregate sell less of everything, because every dollar spent by a consumer is a dollar earned by someone else -- usually a business.

Before the financial crisis, consumers borrowed aggressively to finance consumption, like drunken sailors... but unlike the financial sector, they never got a bailout. They were forced by the circumstances to follow Steve Martin's advice from Saturday Night Live: "don't buy stuff you cannot afford."[2]

Are we really that surprised that many consumers are reluctant to borrow and/or spend like before the crisis?

Hopefully nothing if you have a strong enough password. Chrome OS uses full disk encryption so there shouldn't be anything that an attacker with physical access could get to easily. If moving the phone near the computer suddenly unlocks it though you're screwed.

If you want to post on 4chan and don't have a Pass, you need to solve a captcha for every single post. It becomes easier with practice, I fail maybe 1 in 10 captchas. And the more captchas you solve correctly, the easier the captchas for your IP get.

Just wanted to point out that this "we are writing to memory only" thing in Couchbase doesn't apply to CouchDB. CouchDB will fsync the data to the disk by default.

http://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config/couchdb.html

You can then disable that if you don't care but it. So don't confuse Couchbase's policy with CouchDB (Couchdbase it seems has gone the way of Mongo here).

Also couchdb writes in append only mode and will let you crash restart your server without corrupting your data.
It indeed does, the graph is of Labor Force Participation rate among ages 25 to 54, so that is the portion of people that age that are working over the total people that age eligible to work. Now the unemployment numbers(U3) that you hear on the TV do not include these people typically, that is the discourages workers and those that are underemployed, it only includes people that are actively looking for a job.

Interesting point regarding the parable, thank you for sharing.

If GDP does included anything stock, would that really be accurate? Not an expert, but isn't stock priced on the future value of something (ie dependent upon future sales forecasts). since GDP is backward looking, i don't think it should be counted? stock could be used as a predictor of future GDP since the stock is trying to put a value to future sales.

Also, wouldnt that also double count certain sales? ie each iPhone sold would increase goods sold as well as the companies stock price?

Pitfalls With Closures In Go
I don't think "technical loophole" is the best description. They were trying to make the case that they were providing a long antenna cord which is at least sorta reasonable (and something the cable companies could not claim).

Antennas are legal. Manipulating airwaves to be played on a TV is legal. Long antenna cables are legal. Putting an antenna on my neighbor's roof is legal. Paying my neighbor rent for such a thing is legal. Storing broadcast content is legal. Paying for devices to do such a thing is legal.

Snark aside, I think you're seeing two effects. One is designers wanting to be creative and innovative (which is a top-down directive) without also talking with their counterparts in other areas of the company. This will get corrected over time; periodically the company tries to line up all of its products so that they're consistent across all of Google. The last major such project was Kennedy; Quantum is the next one, so I suspect Android G+ will eventually change to conform with the Quantum styleguides just announced.

The other effect is that design rules are different for big companies than they are for small app developers. Small app developers want to fit in with the platform styleguides, because they face intense competition, are only a tiny part of the total ecosystem, and so if they deviate from the expected UI it only harms themselves. Big companies want to set the standards, and so they encourage their designers to be bold and adventurous, in the hopes of creating the trends. And the Android G+ app has been a trendsetter in the past; some of the recent move towards very image-heavy apps (across both web and mobile) was pioneered by them back around 2011 and 2012.
Dalvik claims to be twice as fast interpreting DEX compared to Java bytecode interpretation.

The Dalvik JIT compiler focuses on critical sections of code. There's a reason you don't see Hotspot on battery powered devices.

Large amounts of the Android framework, especially the foundations of drawing and the View hierarchy, are in C or C++. Compiling an interactive app to native code makes much less difference in performance than a synthetic benchmark of DEX interpretation might lead one to think.
Oh yes, I forgot about the Motorola Connect, it jumped on me when they demoed the Phone-Chromebook integration: hey, I already do that.

It so sad that now for Google Motorola is not a poster child, but something that they try to forget about it.
Wasn't saying Apple invented it. I was asking 1. whether it was frame skipping (confirmed now) and 2. Apple Metal reference is for those that remember how well their demo went of their engine.
Yes, actually it is. I'm using filter.map.reduce quite a bit. I think there's issues with the performance of String<->NSString (the bridge) too.
Actual TLDR:

Spending was muted because of the harsh winter. Recent economic indicators have been very positive so expectations are for a significant rebound for Q2.
As a non-Mac person, it's fascinating to see the difference in interest between Swift and Dart.

The packaging and explicit function exporting are also quite similar. The absense of "typical/popular" (c++ as opposed to smalltalk) style of OOP is also shared.

When I began learning Erlang, I immediately understood why people compared them: I found them quite similar to each other (much more simllar to each other than either to c++, python, ruby, perl, lisp, lua, etc) as well.

I like the idea of having more hackathon type engineer presentations that aren't as polished but this seems like a bad compromise trying to get engineering folks to be on message like marketing department. Either stick with the polished messages or be up front that the engineers are going to be a little eccentric and have fun with it.
I'd prefer the companies to offer a rigorous debt management interview before offering credit.

There's a certain irony in that recently the rules for mortgages were changed to mandate more-or-less exactly that. AIUI, mortgage lenders now have a statutory duty to investigate whether a potential customer has a reasonable chance of repaying what they owe.

So, gone are the days of just lending some multiplier of a customer's self-certified salary/income -- which of course was always a silly practice, both for using a simple multiplier to gauge someone's entire financial power and for trusting self-certification. Today a prospective borrower can look forward to multi-hour interviews, sometimes reportedly going as far as asking people interested in mortgage-scale loans about how much they spend on hair cuts.

The irony is that for the kind of person taking out a mortgage that is anything close to within their means, having an extra hair cut is highly unlikely to make any difference to anything, while for the kind of person who is relying on payday loans, it might well be.

I don't get why they're doing this. Animation adds information and makes CAPTCHA easier to break!

Attacker can choose the frame that's easiest to attack and they can segment better with help of motion vectors and differences between frames.
Each language having its own tools is fine and I doubt OSes are against that.
Those tools just need to support a very specific set of features or scenarios to make packaging easy:

Understand that enterprise OSes are not built on developer Macbooks. Enterprise distros have reproducible builds on automated systems with chroots that contain only what the package needs, no network access and sometimes the build happens inside a virtual machine. Its is almost ridiculous how after maven forgot the topic of being "offline" almost every tool released afterward has done the same mistake.

Understand that Linux distributions sell support and that means being able to rebuild a patched version of a failed package. So whatever dependencies are pinned in Cargo.toml or Gemfile is irrelevant. The OS maker will override them as a result of testing, patching or simply to share one dependency across multiple packages. Distros can't afford having one package per git revision used on a popular distro and then afford to fix the same security issue in all of them.

So having "cargo build" be able to override dependencies and instead look on the installed libraries with a command line switch or env variable helps the packager not having to rewrite the Cargo.toml in the package recipe.

Maven was probably the first tool that made packaging almost impossible and completely ignored the use-case of patching a component of the chain and be able to rebuild it completely.

Semantic versioning is great news, because it allows you to replace the dependencies for a common semantic version (not exactly the same).

For integrating with the C libraries not much needs to be done. If you support pkg-config then you cover 85% of the cases.

I used to think like you are until I had a Pebble. I don't carry my phone around the house anymore, nor do I run for it or pull it out of my pocket every time it beeps. My pebble has saved me pulling my phone out 100 times a day and going through the lock screen to see that I just wasted 10 seconds. Notifications wise it has been a game changer for me. Other functionality I'm still dubious on.

> Are we really that surprised that many consumers are reluctant to borrow and/or spend like before the crisis?

Seems like it is not only unsurprising but also a good thing. People learned a lesson about spending recklessly and some economists would claim that's a bad thing. GDP is not the end-all, be-all metric of a healthy economy.
The time has come for phones to start recognizing the presence or non-presence of trusted individuals, granting various permissions.

It's a nice idea, but you have to consider the complexity of the word puzzles compared to the average human's brain power. Most people are quite dumb. If there aren't a sufficient number of problems/answers, or they're simple enough for computers to solve, or they're too complex for a minority of humans to solve, you're boned.

The whole thing is a technology arm's race. The best solution would be one where you simply verify fixed private information. We use captchas for verifying a human being is not a bot, right? And we do that because we assume the user is anonymous for a short time.

Instead we could simply provide a secured authentication gateway where one could provide private information that is linked to a human identity. That way it can't be abused unless they have an unlimited supply of stolen identities. Even better would be if everyone signed up for a TOTP service provider and used their token generator and service-account to prove their human-ness without needing to put in sensitive information. But that's probably too much work.

There are soft button differences when they display the nexus devices, could these possibly be part of Googles Re-Design for the next Android release?
Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of.

They're things that aren't horrifyingly difficult to setup or remember, but they make it a little more complicated and don't feel straight forward.

Time Management Techniques To Teach Your Employees
Their new redesign is pointless in the first place. OEMs will continue to produce overlays that completely disregard Google's design language. Instead, they'll put in poorly designed, tacky interfaces.

While this doesn't affect the experience on stock Google devices, phones such as the Nexus line represent a crushingly small share of the market, so it doesn't matter.

In addition, I don't understand the pivot towards elevation. The industry has been moving towards flat design. I like flat. It's simple. Less design is often better than more deisgn.

The new Gmail design is a great example of this. The current design is simple. Information is there as soon as you open the application. The new design has increased usage of whitespace and a larger action bar, not to mention that intrusive icon in the bottom right.

There hasn't been a single thing about this year's I/O that has impressed me, or pleased me for that matter. Disappointed that Google continues to pump out new features instead of perfecting the ones they already have.

The way I currently see it, you have Apple putting out less features with incredible levels of polish, or Google throwing features at the wall until something sticks and then only enhancing it a little (i.e. Hangouts).

The Technology Behind Box Notes – Scaling Nodejs
I was just thinking this yesterday when I had to recover a Flickr account I hadn't used in ages. I had to solve captchas from Yahoo and Microsoft.

The Yahoo captcha used rotating, bouncing letters on a scrolling background of more letters - ridiculous. Microsoft's was just a typical smeared mess, but no easier to actually solve.

I think I failed each at least 3 times.

It's not just difficult captchas, but use of them everywhere. The site my university recommends for ordering textbooks starts inserting captchas if one searches more often than perhaps twice within a minute. Another I can't recall the details of requires a captcha solve to make any sort of profile change despite being previously authenticated.
I think it depends on a cookie. Once you correctly solve a dozen or so hard captchas they'll give you easy ones from then on.
This isn't really addressing the main issue. You need to emphasize and just drive the point home that people should not even be STORING plain text passwords. Anywhere. Get them to understand that they don't want to, and shouldn't, know anyone's password in plain text, and how. It's a very counter-intuitive concept that makes sense once explained.

Some context: My roommate and I led this during grad school for the City of Chicago and a bunch of VCs / startup community around the Midwest. We looked primarily at ag-tech, health-tech / life sciences, and advanced manufacturing. Then, we looked at the supposed "brain drain" where we educate all these kids here in the Midwest and then they leave for the coasts. The pundits just want to say "We need more STEM! Argh!" Truth: We don't pay employees enough to stay, even with differences in cost-of-living, and the startups here are under-funded, tackle low-level problems, and Chicago is run by a cartel of private equity / consultants-turned-VCs.

I'm trying to launch a startup in Chicago in data analytics, and it's tough. All the startups here that get publicity don't solve any problems. I'm sorry, but Groupon and GrubHub? Seriously? That's the best you can do? I don't know what your thoughts on this are, but I'd actually love to listen to someone else vent if you're in Chicago. Trying to find a co-founder has been rough, since you tell people you're doing something other than digital tech and get a blank stare.
