Podcasts (especially on android) is still remarkably broken for most people. I have installed an app and subscribed to several podcasts for a number of people who are below average in their tech literacy. They all fail at being able to consistently manage the app and get the content they want.

Finding and subscribing to a new podcast, even if they know which one they want and can get to the website is an almost 100% fail rate.

Even for me, discovery is broken. I'm sure there is interesting stuff out there that I can't find.

In any case, I think that between an app that people know to install and and click on an RSS feed that they have no idea what to do with, the app is the better choice.
Couldn't agree more! We really hope to be able to get them involved in the conference. FYI, Chris Lattner does speak at LLVM community events so it's not unheard of.
They may not intend to pay it. Just inspiring worries about the safety of TOR might be enough for their nefarious purposes.

> If we wanted to use a shape that packed perfectly efficiently, we’d use some kind of cuboid... But we don’t see many cubes on shelves. Let's look at cylinders now...

The only real reason the article gives against using cuboids is that "the edges would be stress points", but it goes on to imply that this is mostly solved with "filleted (rounded) edges to reduce stress concentrations and to make them easier to manufacture."

I enjoyed the rest of the article relating to the optimal dimensions of the cylinder, but I still don't really understand why more products don't use cuboids (with or without filleted edges). Surely the space savings for shipping and shelving would be pretty significant, no?
A complicated question to answer.

First of all you have a technical win because I screwed up, this was months ago, and its thirty cents not fifty cents.

On the other hand, if you won't google for "gmail locked out of account 30 cents" yielding "About 676,000 results (0.96 seconds)" although only the first hundred or so results are relevant, there's nothing I can do to help you or convince you.
Society of Editors warn on 'forgotten' ruling
Getting the development environment set up on Windows can be a pain. Trying to build an existing project that was developed on UNIX, you have to replace any shell scripts, make sure your Windows Path variable is right, set up a new virtualenv, etc. But the biggest problem isn't the Python code, it's compiling the libraries that are written in C/C++, Fortran, etc. It can be a struggle to get some of those to compile on Windows, and they do not support Cygwin either.
or Apple.
I'd be interested in knowing the answer to this too.

That's a neat project.
To be a canny participant in the economy as it exists, we have to acknowledge how companies should behave doesn't always (or often) line up with how they do behave.

In business, many (if not most) participants will seek to maximize thier advantage within the rules; if you don't establish rules (via contract or something else) or understand and follow the existing ones, it's quite disingenuous to complain that you are at a disadvantage.

I don't like that fact, but (cultural sea-change aside) that's one of the costs of doing business, whether it's on a small scale or a large one.

But we can acknowledge that even as we work to change the status quo. So perhaps there is hope yet.
They're not government owned. They're get a subsidy through the appropriate government agency (don't remember the name at the moment) but it's only about 10% of their budget and they are free to act however they wish.

NPR is not state media. That would be Voice of America, which is not allowed to broadcast in the US.
No, it's not government-owned.

"According to the 2009 financial statement, about 50% of NPR revenues come from the fees it charges member stations for programming and distribution charges."[0]

Free speech is a right given by the government.

That's not all it is. When you say "free speech" you mean "free speech with regards to government censorship", but many other people just mean "free speech" in general. Like, the ability to freely speak about something without being harshly punished for that speech, regardless of who does the punishing.
I have read a great book covering TTY program on ux machines, it is also great for getting an understanding on how it all works. The book title is : "Advanced Programming in the
Unix Environment" By W. Richard Stevens and Stephen A. Rago

It gives a thorough walk through of the ttys and pty's, IMHO it is a must read for anybody wanting do to TTY programming, and it is also a great source for understanding how the streams works in connection with the tty's/pty's.
They are not government owned. They take grants but they are prohibited from taking money directly. A large part of their income comes from member stations who pay for access to shows, content, and support.
My experience with my agent was that she picked the home inspector with the worst Yelp ratings. Most reviewers said the inspector was not thorough at all, which of course works in favor or closing the sale quickly and without any issues, so we decided to choose our own inspector, and she threw a fit. I'm disgusted by the whole real estate agent system in California, where the incentives are all set against the client, yet there is no easy way to bypass the system.
I still use a 4S because 4" really is the best size for my small hands. I had a 5 for a while but downgraded because I was constantly almost dropping the phone while "shimmying" to reach the upper-left corner (where the back button is typically located).
Apple's choice of name cost them all sorts of money, re: music.
> I completely disagree on the SUV being the perfect "form factor" for electric. At least if the SUV is being used for things like carrying gear for an excursion or off-roading.

Most SUVs are driven by soccer moms taking their kids to school. That's the "form factor" I intended in GP.

If we would be talking about an off road vehicle, I'd agree with you.
> I'm pretty sure you can get trademark protection for short, common words, as long as they are not descriptive or common for the protected areas.

Like Apple?
Random note. Java is far from the first portable cross-platform language to be marketed on that basis. See COBOL.

Yes, and that's why COBOL was the last big enterprise language. Java is the new COBOL. A lot of corporations hung onto COBOL through the 80s and early 90s, skipping the C/C++ wave, and going straight to Java.

Broken for me too on the second dot, I can't scroll more and have to click on a dot.

I really dislike this new "Powerpoint slide" presentation trend.
I don't actually think the government owns it. The government provides some of it's funding (not all, though, which is why there's always a fund-raising drive?).

*edit - now seeing all the answers below
NPR is not a public broadcaster in the sense of other nation's public broadcasters.

It was founded, initially, with funding from congress, as an independent, non-profit broadcaster. Currently, NPR receives very little to no funding from the Government. Something like 2% of NPR's funding comes from state, local, and national government. Though individual stations may receive radically varying amounts of government funding.

It is Public in the sense that it serves the public interest and is funded by listeners.
I hope this kid learns from his mistakes. Clearly he has zero clue how things work. He also claims FutureStack.io stole his identity. I don't see it. A name isn't an identity. He doesn't own rights to the name. If he had a trademark or a copyright to the name then he could do something only if he was in the same space as FutureStack.io is in. Twitter doesn't play around when it comes to this type of stuff. Typically what happens when thinking of a name. You check to see if the .com is available. Then you run a trademark check. If the trademark comes back clean you then have to decide if you need the .com. and if it's needed you would reach out to the .com owner and attempt to purchase the domain. If not you can use .org, .net, .co, .io. That is why if you want full rights to a name you're using you need to purchase all domains and trademark and copyright your shit. If not, don't cry when someone uses it. He should also talk to a lawyer and stop posting negative things about New Relic. He will dig himself deeper in shit.
It's a bit offtopic but have you tried PocketCasts? I have been using it extensively on Android and recommended it to many tech-illiterate (the kind of people who think facebooking makes them computer literate) friends with relatively good success.
Also, what about ease of retrieval? If the can's cylindrical, instead of cuboid, it's easier to retrieve every bit of a thick soup that doesn't drop out of the can.
Another interesting thing about bigger projects is that there are lots of people who want to contribute to them at the casual level, which means low-hanging fruit gets picked off really quickly. You can't find an easy little pet issue and spend a couple weeks working on it, because it's likely someone will come along and do it before you.
How about just "an encrypted document"?!? Why would they share the keys?! Anyhow, no competent hacker would do that, and no hacker with a botnet would give themselves away even if they did that.
Thanks, now we have a print screen on the first page (quick version).
Even simpler: create a website which responds in a recognizable way, serially rather than concurrently. If person A received recognizable packet P at time T, and the site was serially serving that connection at time T to recognizable-but-pseudonymous person X, then A==X.
fyi, NPR is is publicly and privately funded, but is not owned by the government.

There is a good article here on its status:

http://www.npr.org/yourturn/ombudsman/2001/011228.html

"Legally speaking, NPR is a private, not-for-profit corporation chartered by the District of Columbia and qualified by the Internal Revenue Service as a "501(c)(3)" organization exempt from taxation. "
Anyone else find the concept a little weird? NPR is already like this in many ways (heavily left-leaning) so this argument is already somewhat moot, but: hearing news stories tailored just for me sounds ignorant. News shouldn't be a thing which I am allowed to filter based on my biases.
It's an interesting idea, but looks quite limited in the available options.

What most people miss is that current cheap 3D printing doesn't produce very durable, large, or high resolution parts. To get really good quality, you need an expensive machine, and that means expensive parts to pay for the capital costs.

Also, for the best results, you have to understand the limitations of the machine: resolution, minimum wall thickness, and so on.

This is part of the reason I've been focused on waterjet and laser cutting. You can design parts on the computer the same way, but the limitations are quite easy to understand, and you can end up with large, durable parts at the end of the process.
I think this has happened in part already. Although I try to listen to my local station (KUT) via their app, I also use the NPR app to time shift programs like All Things Considered that I tend to otherwise miss. (If you miss a program by an hour or so, the NPR app won't let you listen to a program that's within some window of its broadcast time, but you can listen to it any public radio station currently broadcasting it.)

I also listen to shows that aren't carried locally, and of course, time listening through the NPR app is time not spent listening to KUT directly (which I probably would do if there weren't alternatives, because I'm pretty much an NPR junkie).
No.

This shows you whether your connection to the base station is encrypted. Cheaper IMSI catchers like this may not support encryption, but I'm sure the newer ones all do.

You could just as well be having an encrypted conversation to the stingray device, as the GSM protocol only authenticates the handset to the network, but not the network to the handset.
Perhaps my choice of phrase "business model" was inaccurate, but the core message stands, that in summary one part of google operates under the "any problem can be fixed with a credit card" outlook on crime and punishment, and another part of google operates under a brutal inhumane lifetime banhammer model, a capital punishment with no trial or appeal judicial model. Its an interesting inconsistency.
Most high-profile projects have many contributors and change very quickly. Several years ago, I submitted a bug fix to git at the same time that someone else submitted a better fix for the same problem. (Junio Hamano was very nice about it.) I eventually dropped off the mailing list because that had too much traffic to follow while I was working.

Also, because of the high volume, they don't have a whole lot of time for hand-holding. I submitted a pull request to Rust which was approved but failed to auto-merge for some inexplicable reason and languished until someone cleaned up the queue. I never found out what the problem was. (And tracking master for tests, given how long it took to build, is Sisyphean.)

I do realize that regenerative breaking does not 100% cancel out the energy required to accelerate the vehicle.

The Model X will be ~10% heavier and Musk has stated recently that the range is expected to be ~10% less than that of the Model S.

In other words, obviously a heavier vehicle will use more power than a lighter vehicle, that's true with any fuel source, but it's a small difference in this case. They could put a battery pack with 15% more capacity in it and the range would be about the same as the Model S, but they're probably going to use the same battery as the Model S for compatibility and manufacturing reasons.
Not a bad idea. Maybe they could name the flawed documents as "Blah Blah Blah [Final].doc" or "... [Corrected].doc" to throw them off the trail. Meanwhile, verbally inform internal staff to ignore anything with "final" in the title.

It might cause some confusion from time to time, such as with new staff, and of course some dumb person will end up mentioning the practice in a document, thus blowing the secret. But it will still make the intruders' job harder.
Perhaps with the local content it promises to play, it will play local pledge drives?
I should think that both are likely true.
You're awfully willful about this whole thread. To a degree that you might be the author.

It's a matter of convenience, not necessity, to bank and insure through the same company, but this exposes you to a greater degree of risk, which only compounds with irresponsible behavior as a customer. End of story. He shouldn't have used his personal account. That's part of the reason individuals do things like set up LLCs, to shield individuals from liability in operations related to business, but maybe this guy can't be bothered to understand stupid business or legal logic behind such decisions.

This whole thing reeks of an appeal to pity and logical fallacy. His background is not especially relevant to report on the situation. His switch from Apple to Android fandom and why he made that switch are even less important. If anything, his purported history as a developer should have given him every single indication that what he was doing was subjectively wrong, according to Google. He ignored these signs and subscribed to his own styling of reality. Seems like a sensitive homebrew developer with an overinflated ego ($500k worth of time, my ass) got iced for his bad behavior. Natural selection in action.

I think you're on to something. When our local public radio stations start their pledge drives, I almost immediately switch over to the podcasts for the duration. There's more latency in the stories, but you also miss the continual pledge advertising.
Exactly! These numbers represent the percentage of API calls that we resolve depending on the numbers' country.
That is, we are likely to add information to a phone number if the phone number is from the US, but we also do quite well globally.
I don't really know what use they have of such documents.

I mean there aren't that many places in the world where you could sell that. I still wonder if any tech developed by iron dome is really useful at all for terrorits, Russia or china.

I mean if hamas really has enough resource to build stealth rockets, or rockets than would be able to dodge iron dome, but I don't think they really have the resources to develop such thing.
This is already a business reality for most savvy organizations. Example, ordered pizza on saturday. Sunday, call another branch of the same pizza shop and the person answering the phone greets me by name before I even have a chance to say hello...

I was creeped out for a second, but then proceeded to order more pizza.

Cool, hopefully it will replace the All Songs Considered audio stream (which is great).

Side note: Is it just me, or this "scroll to reveal stuff in steps" is a bit frustrating? It seems to be used more and more often and I am sometimes puzzled by the fact that I'm missing the scrolling step. I try scrolling and get either too far (which shows half an image coming from above) or don't get anywhere (which makes me scroll more and skip steps).
Here's an example: http://www.spendeeapp.com/

I'd assume you wouldn't have to look to hard to find someone willing to pay $110k+ to identify specific individual Tor users, let alone find general exploits in Tor.
For shelves, maybe the packing density of randomly oriented cuboids isn't any better than cans.

I saw this headline and immediately thought, "that's much too low."

But I've got no idea how much that vulnerability would actually go for. Millions? Tens of millions? Anyone with a stronger understanding of the market have any rough estimate?
I'm having this issue as well. I deleted all digicert certificates from my keychain just in case. Still couldn't get to Github. I can get to the DigiCert Root Certificates download page, but it gives me an invalid certificate warning. It looks like the same issue as Github.

I really, really don't feel comfortable downloading a ROOT CERTIFICATE with an SSL warning on the page. Who knows what could be compromised in this case?

I'm going to try a couple other things first; I'd like to hear from a security expert, should we find this scary or just a small hiccup?
In addition to the problems of fabrication and manufacturing, there is another issue. Specifically, China lacks the ability to design their own military systems. The ability to steal and maybe use the designs of others does not make up for this.

Besides, it's never a purely technological advantage. There needs to be doctrine and well-trained troops in place too.
I'll be a pedant and point out that bit of hyperbole has a bit of an odd timeline issue. It seems to say he jumped ship to Android when the app store was announced. But iPhone OS 2 which introduced the walled garden app store came out before Android 1.0.

Plus, if you're so worried about things like walled gardens, why buy a phone that doesn't officially allow third party native apps like the iPhone with v1.x OS?
If you search the trademark database it looks like they only filed for an application 5 days ago.

Please do this, it frustrates me to no end because I see a photo of a blue Audi and think I should be looking for a blue Audi but instead it's red. Pictures would be great but even just showing the color in the app is fine, as I can never find the color without going to the website.

All real estate news and websites are biased and always suggest you that buying a home is a god think. In the SF bay area, I hear real estate agents speak on the radio. Before recession, they said you should buy a home immediately so that rates may increase....Then during recession they say you should buy a home as rates have fallen to historic lows..for last 1-2 years, whenever you hear...they say the interest rates are low, so you should immediately buy it, irrespective of dynamics between interest rate and price of house.

I wish there was a website/service which actively debunks what real estate agents, radio channels are propragating.

His analysis is flawed.

For example, imagine if several rockets are fired at a hospital. Iron Dome intercepts the rockets, throwing them off course. The rockets then land in parks and parking lots, killing no one.

Under Postol's standards, that's a complete failure. Because the warheads weren't destroyed.

But most people would judge that as a major success.

Assuming the rockets are reasonably accurate and targeted to do the most damage possible, simply damaging the rockets and changing their path is a success.
Someone left this graffiti in my local park. What is the equation?
It already includes a donation link under the station name. Right now it just sends you an email with donation info. Hopefully they can streamline that in the future.
Interesting how the division works in other markets. In the UK people generally do their own negotiation, the tours are arranged by calling the seller's agent, the surveys are arranged to the standards of the mortgage company (and in Scotland, rolled into the "home report" at the seller's expense). Once you've selected a property you hire a conveyancer who handles title search and almost all the paperwork.

We have partnerships with other data companies and we also use the social network APIs.

Everything is stored in a graph and to make the connections between phone, emails and identities we've created algorithms to compare contact information. For this we use signals like name similarity, location, friends in common and many others.

All of this is indexed in realtime and when you do a query to our API you get the most up-to-date data.
Who says they'd be randomly oriented? When I see examples of cuboid products on shelves (think boxes), they're usually stacked quite neatly and efficiently.
