I went from an S4 to a Moto G LTE (job change) and was worried about the Moto being underpowered. So far I have to say I am far happier with it than I ever was with any Samsung phone (less bloatware means I spend less time managing the phone, more time just getting stuff done, and the battery life is impressive).

At the risk of getting downvoted myself, we turned tables on a bunch of stalkers in the past and have gotten medium to good return on that. That said, it should be reserved only for the hardest cases and when law enforcement refuses to act even after they've been given all the relevant information.

Some people just won't give up until they get a taste of their own medicine, and on the internet it is all fun and games until your name and address are out in the open.

The fun bit is that once that happened we (usually, we do have a couple of hold-outs) could conclude those cases swiftly.

Funny thing (or not so funny, if you are small company), beginning next year you are required to do so in Europe. Amazon (AWS), Dropbox and alike have to indicate the tax (VAT) of the country the buyer is in and not anymore where the company is in-cooperated.

Current practice is, that the tax of the country, where the company is in-cooperated applies.

With that move, the EU wants, that every country is getting their share, and not like is now, that some countries are getting it. But this added bureaucracy is making it much harder for smaller companies.

This could have been solved on a different level. If the right architecture was in place Steam didn't need to solve it.

You can have multiple shared libraries of the same name, but different major versions. Applications that need the same version can use that same version. Applications that need different versions can use different versions. The package repository shouldn't be the conflicting factor.
> Products are not priced by cost. They are priced at the highest point the market will tolerate.

This is a very simplistic view: product pricing also takes into account things like psychological thresholds (e.g. why it's 9.99/month rather than 10) and the likelihood of a competitor entering the space if your profit margins are too high. Amazon is famous for keeping low margins because they're willing to trade the short-term profits in exchange for making it harder for someone else to enter the space which would hurt their profits long term.

> The simple fact of operating from California means they don't care about operating costs.

Again, simplistic analysis: a business like Dropbox doesn't need to scale their employment at the same rate as they add customers so individual costs matter less than, say, a fast-food restaurant because each employee's work benefits as many customers as you can convince to signup. If you're making a profit on someone's labor their salary isn't as significant as, say, the opportunity-cost of not being able to hire someone at all or hiring the wrong person because most of the top people have been lured elsewhere. Being in business means weighing all of those factors not just looking at a single number and trying to lower it.

Notwithstanding the hypotheses offered in the article such as scams and supposedly "sharp divides" between tight-knit kinship communities vs. stranger divisions, the Bystander Effect[1] probably was the biggest initial culprit.

The article tries to explain this in a round about way in the first few paragraphs.

[1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect
I'm from India and here too most bystanders choose to not get involved when someone on the road needs their help, for fear that they'll get entangled in a "police case". But I doubt we're anywhere near as extreme as this!

For instance had this happened in, say, the Delhi metro or Mumbai local trains, I'll bet there'd be enough good samaritans to help the person. And there'd certainly be no stampede to escape from the vicinity of the fainted man!

The idea is that, if a person has a rooted phone, it might have been rooted by someone other than the owner, in which case it's compromised. Also a rooted phone in the hands of an unsophisticated, trusting user is easier to attack and compromise than one not rooted. For a banking establishment with many interconnected devices, these are reasonable concerns.

To see how an apparently trivial peripheral vulnerability can bring down an entire network, look at how Target was successfully attacked, step by step, from the outside in:

You are correct, I didn't read your link. Why? Because every word of what you said in your comment was wrong. So why would I click the link?
You are being stalked. Research the protections that stalkers need in your country - you might want to set up a website describing what's happening so you can point people to it. Include links to stalking information to avoid as many "it must be something you did" accusations as possible, although there will be some of those.

CLEARLY DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. At some point in the future you may want to go to the police and having everything they need neatly laid out is helpful to them.

Fortunately you probably won't have to go more than another ten years or so with that condition before it can be treated via either allotopic expression [1] of mitochondrial genes (e.g. as demonstrated for the single gene mutation in LHON [2]), delivery of whole replacement mitochondria [3], or possibly protofection of an entire replacement mitochondrial genome, although that latter item seems to have stumbled to one of those funding-related halts so common in research [4]. The others are presently pursued, though by no means as aggressively as the potential benefits merit. Everyone need mitochondria repair, not just people with inherited or other global genetic defects of the mitochondria.

During my visit to South Africa and Zimbabwe, I realised that we take internet for granted In Europe and America. All my colleagues who work there generally have 3 to 4 (maximum) applications on their smartphone and they never constantly look at their phone all the time. Data is ridiculously expensive there and watching Youtube videos regularly is a non starter. Unlimited internet is pricy because its still new so everybody purchases bundles. Just using you smartphone there teaches if you really want to spend x amount of data on a short video clip.

It made me realise that I had to make a change. I depend on the internet/technology and I personally think that's scary. I'm gradually cutting out applications, I think the big shift from being connected to not being connected would just cause a relapse. Right now Twitter,Facebook, HN are not on my smartphone anymore and I feel much better already.

I have a lot more time now and its quite shocking how people are still productive these days with the insert next trending application coming out every week.
That's an interesting idea. I'd never considered Windows Mobile before, but since I, too, don't really need much in the way of apps (just the ones you mention), maybe I should look into it.

Any idea how well a Windows mobile phone can integrate with a household that's predominantly Mac?

Handling SOAP responses
Context Matters, New York, NY - Hiring an engineer in NYC. Sorry, no remote.

Context Matters is a platform that the world's largest pharmaceutical companies use to make strategic drug development decisions. We're looking to add another developer to our small team. If that sounds like a good time to you, please check out the attached job description and answer 3 short questions online at http://www.interviewzen.com/apply/5x2pbm or you can email me: mitchell.smith (at) contextmatters (.com)

DEVELOPER

We've built a platform that the world's largest pharmaceutical companies use to make strategic drug development decisions. Members of our team enjoy meaningful equity and a progressive, respectful environment. We like having interests outside of work!
Product Development has recently transitioned from contractors to a small team in house and we're seeking a third member. We tend to be pretty self-sufficient, but collaborate on things like code review or UX. The ability to wear many hats is a plus – but we might make fun of you if you mention being a “ninja.”

Responsibilities

• Write code that someone else is able to understand

• Design features that work & look good

• Have ideas: UX, technologies to use, be opinionated on the product

• Balance the ability to ship quickly with code quality and test coverage

Requirements

• Experience developing applications with Ruby on Rails

• Demonstrable knowledge of front-end technologies: JavaScript, HTML, CSS & jQuery

• Working knowledge of SQL

• Familiarity with testing (we use RSpec and Jasmine)

• Ubuntu / server admin knowledge a plus!
Thanks for the advice. I have his original IPs, and then a second list of Proxy sites which he used to create fake accounts and also post abusive posts (I had IP-banned him). Presently, the forum is locked down to new registrations until I can find a way to stop this guy from coming back.

I don't have his physical address, so not sure how I could get a letter delivered. Perhaps some kind of tool exists to bait him into giving me his geo coordinates?

The supervisors are not too pleased with getting 10-15 emails this morning, with a PDF of my personal information and other harrassing information related to my work for the site, which takes place off-work.
Neat - I wonder if ClojureScript-Terra could have worked too:

https://github.com/ohpauleez/cljs-terra
Totally agree. The most egregious violators of such calls are recruiters. Put your phone number on a resume and submit it to a few sites, assuming you work in IT, and they will call non-stop. Sometimes, I refuse the call and they keep calling back a few more times. Nowadays, I only pick up calls from people I recognize. Google has started to provide "caller ID" for many businesses that don't have it now, which helps also.
AFAIK the block size is a pool wide setting. So you can't even mix and match block sizes, let alone incrementally upgrade it. And what's more, you can't even change the pool wide setting - so the only solution is to create a new pool and rsync your data up (which is just horrible!)

However I've only done minimal investigation into this issue so if you do find a safe way to upgrade the block size then I would love to know (I'm in a similar situation to yourself in that regard)
