I agree that they aren't checked by default, you'd need to implement it (as the parent commenter seemed to be doing with their gradle plugin). Regarding the sums being sent over HTTP as well, seems that you'll need a checksum for your checksum. Ultimately, though, it just seems that it'd be best to avoid this while it's over HTTP.
They shouldn't be.
When we registered a .re TLD we were asked to provide a business license to prove that the business in question was local.
Desirable local TLDs get taken by squatters and opening them to the world at large dilutes the meaningfulness and availability of that TLD to local businesses who need the recognition.
Really interesting.

Anecdotally, I'm seeing people starting to abandon their iPads and go back to laptops (generally macbooks/ultrabooks) in meetings and the like. I think the keyboard is just too useful for most people. Smartphone usage is definitely not following a similar trend, though.
No, it really isn't.

Languages like Awk and especially tools (you could say "language" because it's strictly true but, come on) like sed have built in safeguards against writing code that stretches for more than a certain number of lines. That safeguard is that it's a really awful experience to actually do that. As a result these scripts tend to be short and to the point.

Perl does not have this safeguard.
By that logic, smart developers have no financial incentive to fix bugs unless it's for a paid upgrade.

Think through that a little more and I think you'll find there is long-term ROI in the form of customer trust and goodwill. You'll buy the product because it works and won't hurt you, and basic security should be part of "won't hurt you".
Errr... you know this isn't exactly a theoretical question, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

That certainly doesn't weaken your question. It just sort of sounds like you don't realize our ancestors already took a pretty good crack at answering it...
The RadiusNetworks library for Android was very good, I used it before at some hackathons on Google Glass and it worked great. They had a free version that was great and a pay version with extra features like conserving battery use. There is no chance in the world that Apple killed it because they wanted a freer version for Android. They pretty clearly didn't want any version for Android at all.
Think through a little more of what the parent poster said. If companies truly did gain that much more trust and good will from secure code, they would all be doing it.

How does increasing the first year salary cost for the company by 30% affect the developer's actual salary? Presumably, it might mean the company offers the developer slightly less than they otherwise might.
> that is certainly up to you to decide

Indeed. And the same applies to Linus.

> the single substantial point which still remains

If you mean the fact that in his LKML post (but not in the GCC bug tracker) Linus attributed the bug to "incompetence/ willful ignorance/ etc" instead of assuming that it just snuck in (I'm not sure I agree with that interpretation, but I'll adopt it here for the sake of discussion), for a bug that's severe enough to make Linus prohibit kernel compiles using the affected version of gcc, I'm not sure what the difference is, practically speaking. Either way, the compiler can't be used with the bug present, so, substantively, it doesn't matter whether the bug just snuck in or the GCC developers wilfully ignored the behavior; that version of gcc can't be used to compile the kernel until the bug is fixed.
Government attempts to affect individual fertility are nothing new. The most significant cases are India's sterilization prpgram of the 1970s and China's one child policy. On the other side countries like Japan today want to increase fertility. Notice that a lot of these programs are about creating social incentives/disincentives as much as about technology.

Regardless of how you feel about this particular case, there are two things that are troubling:

1. Google is big enough to be an indispensable part of your life.

2. Google doesn't believe in allowing human contact - it doesn't scale. They've put all their eggs into the algorithm basket, and when the algorithm decides you're guilty that's it. No appeal, at least not in any real sense.

It's a story that gets repeated over and over.

$300 per month? You can finance and colocate big server for that price, as one of my customers does. $300 could also be used to rent 5-10 real servers in different countries, to run your own cloud with GeoIP and Linux containers. An other customer is running a shoutcast cluster of 6 hosts, two in US, 1 in Canada, two in Europe, and one in Korea for half that price. AWS traffic for such a shoutcast cluster would be several thousand $ per week.

Drop the stupid cloud. It costs to much. Rewrite your site to use only free software. Get a cheap Xen site. E.g. my own small server cost only €4 per month, offering 100mbit flat. Unfortunate my provider does no longer offer this contract, but there are other affordable hosts. Just take care, that you do not sign at a Virtuozzo/OpenVZ, or some cookie cutter provider who cripples performance like rackspace.

If unsure what Xen provider is good, get a real iron at Hetzner spot market for about €20-25, install a minimal Debian on with Linux containers, and run your site within a container. A real iron will likely provide more processing power then your site needs. So you can cross finance the host, by running applications you wrote for customer.

And always unbundle DNS contract from hosting contract, so you can switch fast, in case your hosting provider sucks.

If you're not sure where to get a VPS suitable for VPN service, look at lowendstock.com or lowendbox.com or lowendtalk.com/categories/offers

If you choose a VPS provider which uses OpenVZ for virtualisation, make sure they let you enable TUN/TAP and PPP from the control panel. Almost all do. Some mention it explicitly.

If you want a cheap non-DIY solution look at http://vpn.sh/

I always thought this was an interesting topic. I think it really leaves the door open for developers. I remember thinking a few years ago that most of the app ideas I had were already implemented, but now when I look for those apps I see that a lot of them have grown stagnant and opened the door for new players in the same space.

On the OP though, I think it is unfair to bash apple so much. Most of the apps I find are from curated groups like "Best New Apps", "Hot Puzzle Games", etc.
i think one advantage could be instead of accidentally sharing the entire model it would allow you to look at one or two variables that will be worked on say you want to add a geolocation component to an existing model, the young banker could work and share that piece publicly and getting their former classmates to help confirm their work.

i want to make a reference to write code and sharing it but it is a really poor ref. i think it is more like getting help making sure you are getting the proper area of a circle before putting it into the companies formula for the volume of the sphere, helping ensure a smaller problem is solved correctly before being added

Talk about fiddling with statistics to make an argument:

"The result is sobering: Men make up 62% to 70% of the staffs of Twitter, Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn, while whites and Asians comprise 88% to 91%, according to company data released in the past two months. Their dominance is highest in computer programming and other tech jobs that tend to pay the most."

vs

"Of Twitter's U.S. employees, only 3% are Hispanic and 5% black, but those groups along with Asian Americans account for 41% of its U.S. users."

As Christopher Hitchens said, you can get away with anything if you put a "reverend" in front of your name.

This. Very much this.

That said, I wouldn't trust lowendtalk.com too much if you want stability. If you are seriously contemplating a $300 budget, you can get away with $60 on Linode or Digital Ocean and have much, much better stability compared to some of the providers there. If stability isn't a big issue for you [e.g. 95% uptime is okay] then you can go with those providers.

That said, I wouldn't rely on a donationware model to bring in enough money unless it is less than $100. I know some sites that do function that way (mainly forums with strong communities) but generally they can't raise more than $100/mo reliably.

Seems like the centralized app store model with week-long reviews and free-to-play IAP-addiction-reliefs has lead to a proper race to the bottom. When you have to peddle your wares in a crowded spot next to a million clones which are free or $1-2, with no proper way to do trials or paid upgrades, and you also have to take the full risk of development upfront with a chance for being rejected during final review, it seems like everything is conspiring against indies wanting to invest a lot of effort into a project they really care about. It appears you either have to be a AAA megastudio or a cheap copycat to have a chance to make a profit in 99.99% of the cases. Or be someone like Facebook who can invest a bunch of effort into a super polished product like "Paper" just for fun.

For example: Imagine spending 6-12 months on your own dime developing a really neat bitcoin wallet app that you'd like to offer for perhaps $20-30. It'd be completely crazy. Who knows if "virtual curriences" are banned or allowed in the app store review process in 12 months?
Bad programmers, not languages, write unreadable code.
It depends on what you want to do. Even for simple text processing in one-liners, there are quite a few common tasks that are difficult in awk. A big one for me is capture groups in regular expressions:

perl -ne 'print $1 if /foo="(.*?)"/'
awk '/foo=".*"/ { ??? }'

You can do it with gawk, but it's ugly:

gawk 'match($0, /foo="(.*?)"/, a) { print a[1] }'

Another is manipulating hexadecimal numbers, which is also a gawk extension.
I agree with the lowendtalk bit - I previously switched between 2 or 3 providers on lowendtalk, and I even had issues with one of the larger / more reputable ones on the site. Digital Ocean or Linode won't cost you that much more, and the stability will be worth it.

I've been running a pretty popular site off of a $5 / month digital ocean box with no issues for over a year now. Does Heroku have this large of a markup generally, or is the op just overconfiguring?
I get what you're saying, but my intuition is that the numbers would still be silly-and-wrong if you could omit Asians from the user numbers they're giving. And I say "if you could" because my guess, which may be wrong but given the way these breakdowns usually work I don't think it's a bad one, is that they didn't have Twitter user data available to them in a more granular fashion. So I'm more inclined to let that one go.

My intuition is the same .. I totally agree there are underrepresented groups .. but using numbers like that does not inspire confidence.

More interesting numbers would be the % of engineering applicants (which are likely not available) or representation in undergraduate programs vs in industry employment.

That would help isolate where the problem lies, which my intuition tells me is earlier than in industry.

The remote control bit worries me. Anything that can be wirelessly controlled can have a weakness that can be exploited at worst or monitored at best.

Trulia guy/lady is right. Your assessment is pretty cynical, and inaccurate. Zillow has a higher volume of fraudulent listings because as of March, it had nearly 2x the market share of Trulia, and a whopping 14x that of Redfin. The listing quality teams work really hard to tear down scams as quickly as possible, but understand that as with any content flagged by users, your report enters a queue and has to be evaluated by a human before any action is taken.

Zillow, like Trulia, also invests a lot in developing their product to prevent, detect, and remove scam listings. To not do so would make the product unviable.

Popular sites are locked into a constant arms race with people seeking to defraud other people. Everyone's gotta make a buck somehow, and fraud is just the unfortunate dark underbelly of commerce.

Edit: Full disclosure—I do work at Zillow, and many of our hackweek projects are also focused on scam detection and prevention. Our objective is to provide the most robust and reliable service to consumers and to connect them with skilled agents, rated by other consumers. In two years I've never seen anyone scoff at a customer complaint or suggest we should ignore something until faced with the threat of "bad PR". I love working at Zillow because, above all, it's full of very decent people. And personally, I'm excited for a potential Zillow/Trulia merger because we all admire them a lot, and we certainly have a lot to learn from each other.
Why are asians put into same group as whites? They are minority and are still badly discriminated, mostly at university acceptance.
Depends how much impact does that pill have.

I'm not sure it is worse than hacked pacemakers - death by hacking is not something a person wearing a pacemaker will want to worry about.
I think there is a good argument for diversity in tech. This article is really, really, bad however. Look at one number they mention:
> Men make up 62% to 70% of the staffs of Twitter, Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn, while whites and Asians comprise 88% to 91%

Then this number:
> Of Twitter's U.S. employees, only 3% are Hispanic and 5% black, but those groups along with Asian Americans account for 41% of its U.S. users.

So Asians count against Twitter as employees and against Twitter as audience, that just makes no sense.

Regardless of the security, pacemakers and insulin pumps have led to an enormous quality of life improvement for an enormous number of people so that is perhaps not the comparison you want to making for the affect you want to effect.
Your "meanwhile" is on the order of hundreds of thousands of years, at a bare minimum, whereas the extinction of specialists can easily happen over the course of a single human lifespan.

It's not thinking critically about the issues in play or how they would affect the lives of millions or billions of people, let alone the animals, plants, and microorganisms involved. It's not heresy, it's just hubris.
