Looks like you forgot to delete the HTML comment tag, "<!-- Begin Inspectlet Embed Code -->", from the bottom of popup.html. You may want to do it asap before he "lies" about that too ;)

> Will make the app opensource, so this will never be an issue in the future, "hopefully".

You already made it open-source (https://github.com/Epinx/Sticky-Notes), but then uploaded a separate malicious version to the chrome web store. Open-sourcing it would only give users the impression that it's safe, while giving you a chance to twist and slither away like you just did.

I hope you're being snarky, because it's well documented and should be completely obvious. Whenever you have a black market economy where product is sold for large multiples of its production costs, it will inevitably be accompanied by violence. And when substances are expensive and addictive, people will steal to support their addictions. And when kids grow up without parents, either because they're in jail, addicts unfit to parent or dead from drug-related violence, they're much more likely to run afoul of the law as adults.

There's a ton of reasons why someone would be in jail for a reason related to the WoD without their crime being classified as a drug offense.

totally disagree on the watch. I would never consider a watch with that metallic band, and there a few bands I really like that apple released. I think apple nailed it by recognizing the personal aesthetic and fashion statement that wearing a device on your body entails

No, because then it wouldn't have replicated the hardlink structure of the original tree. That was the goal, and also the bit that causes the high resource consumption.
Shame you got downvoted for this.

Kevin Rose is hardly some brilliant genius that could be off curing cancer instead of doing this. He came from the world of media, it's his passion and he's releasing products that he wants to release.

I actually think he is onto something with this. Although I would make the photos bigger. But a dynamically changing wall would be pretty engaging and addictive.

Interesting article from a small non-tech company out where I live, Cotopaxi. They're a SLC area outdoor-gear manufacturer with a fairly creative take on their social mission, and they're off to early success thus far. I thought this might be of interest to some of the more "social-responsibility" related startups around here.

As an aside from a skier/climber, their technical packs are of very high quality and priced attractively compared to established equivalents like Mountain Hardwear, Black Diamond Equipment, etc. Their technical outerwear is brand new so I can't rate it yet, but it's at least priced competitively.
I think the article was interesting, but it was surprisingly uncomfortable to see the various photos where Steve was suffering from the effects of his illness (I guess for me, it's more personal having seen other family members go through the same and pass away...).
"Anecdotal evidence" is acceptable if everyone said salt is healthy and I claimed otherwise.

btw, my diet, even though had a lot of frozen food, wasn't loaded with carbs, and was sufficient in protein.

Back to the point: When doctors I trust say that I'm better off cutting salt and sodium intake, I'll cut down on it. And because its the trusted doctors that say so, I consider it as non Anecdotal Evidence
This may be a fun app BUT geez is that all silicon valley entrepreneurs can do...photo-sharing apps?
It's unlikely this would stop at just $90M/year.

There's no reason to believe the daily fine wouldn't continuously increase, or that executives wouldn't eventually be put in jail for contempt.

And keep in mind you can be held in jail indefinitely for contempt of court, as long as you remain in noncompliance.
Live near the G, do you?
The problem is that you can't go into any normal level of detail without possibly infringing on the law.

Well if your boss was an asshole today, because you can't make any sales that's something you can say as a realtor in a private company, but can't say as the guy trying to close XXX,000 sized seat contracts at a public company because your inability to perform is going to be reflected in the quarterly reports.

> "We're about to get bought out for $x million." Very much not fine.

Here's another example. If your company is in the process of a public merger, and you're publicly involved in the M&A process you can't throw a wild party the day before the public announcement of its success, because someone will inevitably ask "why are you guys celebrating?"

"Well, that's an interesting take on applying the ephemeral trend to tumblr / bing image search" was my immediate thought, and I wanted to see some of the other comments were. Turns out that a few folks here express sour grapes about how a successful person devotes their time, energy, and resources.

Hey bigiain!

I'm the one who initiated the archive against the page(s) in question.

While I understand copyright is important, I also believe in the preservation of digital history on the internet.

The page in question isn't password protected, nor were the images prevented by the Internet Archiver's archive process from committing the page to their archive. The author still receives their attribution, and The Archive is fairly solid in the non-profit category (which I believe respects the copyright owner's wishes).
I was already loving your comment, and then you name-dropped College Park, MD my home for 4 years of undergraduate.

But you make a good point. There was a real life human (or humans) on the creating end of that number.

Disappointed. You ain't got the Talking Moose.
Yep, I'm effectively not allowed to trade individual stocks in my job because of the fear of insider trading. And I don't even have access to insider information, it is just possible that I could, at some point, have access to such information. Mutual funds and stuff like that are fine though.

Stopped eating frozen food and reduced salt. Frozen food contains a ton of sodium, which is a great preservative.

I started eating out more often because of this, which is not low on Sodium, but its not as loaded as it is in the frozen foods.

Anyone who thinks there's an ounce of truth in the Time article, try living on a frozen food only diet (at your own risk) for a few months.

Check your blood pressure regularly. if after 3 or 6 months, your BP remains the same, Salt and Frozen Food industry would be ready to pay you millions to publicize your anecdotal test.

I think I now know why. There was a TED talk by Simon Sinek regarding how Apple sells its products to its customers by making you believe why you should need one than without one.

http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspi...

The keynote didn't really sell me the watch. To me it was more like a 'me too' smartwatch but with several customizable options to set it apart from the competition. They should've stick with one model and iterate later like they always did.

But I agree, if the presentation was worded like this, I probably would've bought one in a whim and wouldn't think the heartbeat thing as gimmicky.
If some researchers were trying to intercept my emails as a part of some active study, I would still consider it to be a criminal activity.
Thanks Alecco! I guess there are a lot of Salt sympathizers on HN :)
> But they are still "bad, antisocial" people.

Yes, but how did they get that way? They got that way because they were drawn into that life by older gang members. They see older gang members living a life of relative privilege and they're willing to accept the violence that goes along with it. If you take away the money, those older gang members become much less attractive role models.

From Wikipedia: "In the twenty-five years since the passage of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, the United States penal population rose from around 300,000 to more than two million."

In that same time period, when the prison population increased over 600%, the US population increased roughly 30%. Unless you've got some other theory for drastically increased incarceration rates, that prison and many others used to house the over 1.5m extra prisoners we have today because of the WoD literally would not exist.

I don't wholeheartedly disagree with you. And I don't mean to come off as implying he should be curing cancer. But this specific app feels very derivative.

You're right tho, he made something and that in and of itself is much more challenging, productive and much more deserving of kudos than me sitting on my couch calling it lame.
A while ago I tried to port some of the Python code from the book Programming Collective Intelligence to Haskell, and I got stuck on the seemingly simple problem of reading and processing heterogenous collections (strings and numbers).

Depends which Steve you are referring too, there still is, and always has been a very brilliant Steve at Apple.
Of course not, he doesn't owe the world anything. But I mean, really. Don't you wish that the valley had more Musks and less photo sharing apps?
this was written for getting an intuition about the syntax:

http://blog.ezyang.com/2011/11/how-to-read-haskell/

The things that make haskell and ocaml outwardly different are the pattern match syntax for function definitions, type signatures, the IO monad's slightly different syntax, all the category theory structures and their punctuation filled names, "<*>", and, you know, all that "theorems for free" and Curry-Howard stuff. But to get started, there's LYAH and (3)good tutorial books by Alejandro Mena, Simon Thompson and Graham Hutton, you can type expressions in to GHCi (the REPL) and see what types GHC infers, and you can, uh, encounter GHC error messages and warnings for the firs ttime.
Where would that leave something like free will?

I think most people will agree with me that we have the sensation of control over our own actions and yet it's not something that's directly testable per se.

Wi-Fi: are there any health risks?
Maybe Jobs wanted to launch "The Sixty" and did not have a product deemed personalizable enough to do so in his time?

Where they could, they have iMac, Macbooks, Mac minis. So with OSX, they do have multiple options cause it fits. Each model is customizable into gazillion ways based on HDD, RAM, GPU and what have you. How many variations of Macbooks can you count which can be ordered directly from Apple store website? I bet you it is more than the Apple Watch.

What the author misses is - Apple thinks. It did with Jobs, and it is doing so without him. Apple did "The One" when they thought it suited. They did "The Sixty" when they thought it suited. Copying Apple is a job of other companies, not of Apple.
That's probably one more way to rile up things further and gather attention from the silent _useless_ majority. Just sayin' it!
At some point people would have started being thrown in jail and that's when resistance usually ends.
Depends how similar. This article was specifically about kernel line number and local variable tracing, which I've only seen Linux do.

If you mean general kernel debugging, then my book on DTrace covers multiple operating systems including FreeBSD, and has around a thousand pages of examples.

It would be nice if DTrace could add kernel line number and local variable tracing. Recently I've seen FreeBSD kernel builds where inlining has become more common than I've seen in the past, and missing kernel functions is becoming a bit of a nuisance. It's generally possible to work around it, but it would be nice to just trace lines and variables if needed.
Well, at least there is finally passable sushi being made in Zurich. That's a very, very new thing.

Seeing how the gov't can seemingly pull fines and penalties out from thin air (a la Russia Sanctions still ongoing and new), I think it's safe to say the $250K per day would have only been just the beginning.
J.C.R. Licklider: Man-Computer Symbiosis
The trick is that the encrypted JPEG data is not PNG data. The file is usually crafted in such a way that the container formats are tolerant of the junk data that becomes the second file after encryption. The second file's format is also tolerant of the junk data that used to be a JPEG. Some parts may actually be used on both sides of the transformation, but not most of the bits.
I have to differ.

All of life on earth operates using mostly the same biochemistry. While there are countless differences and exceptions (eg. different codons, different genome architecture, metabolic and gene product differences), they are vastly outweighed by the vast magnitude of commonality. This is mostly observable at the small scale (nucleic acid, protein, lipid chemistries) but also somewhat true at a larger scale (certain transport processes, etc).

Bacteria have an incredible amount of biochemistry in common with us. And so do all other living things. Bacteria will of course be radically different when we contrast ourselves to other eukaryotes, but we can still see our biochemistry in them.

We all evolved from the same lineage, so all of the "core architectural" decisions were made long ago--before prokaryotes even came into being. The earliest choices made in exploring the chemical-physical fitness landscape turned out to have the greatest impact; all of our biology is expressed in terms of the primitives that were first established. For example, the universal adoption of the amino acid L-isomers. It's a seemingly arbitrary choice of little importance, but once that choice was made, earth biology forever had to live with it.

If there were different paths taken early on, metabolism would be different, polymerization would be different--cellular replication itself might also be different (one can only imagine). I imagine there would be cells. At higher levels, the choice of "building blocks" has an impact on bioinorganic chemistries (think heme groups). How you chelate depends on structure.

I assume that the heme group chemistry only evolved because of a highly oxygenated environment that life could exploit for energy production. Had our aqueous environment (and later atmosphere) been of a different composition, oxygen may not have played the same role.

Further tangent: certain elements are extremely important. Organic (carbon) chemistry is incredible due to the valence. Evolving on a world without oxygen might really suck, because oxygen chemistry is just so perfect for redox. And what of all the other important chemistries? Do they have a bioavailable source?

Anyhow, it's suffice to say that any change in early evolutionary choices would have far-reaching impact on the essential reactions (energetics, thermo, kinetics, dynamics...) and might yield results that are altogether alien to us from an Earth biology standpoint. Once you have your building blocks, you can't exactly backtrack.

You seem to be confusing venti and fossil.
This can not be stressed strongly enough. There is never a case when RAID5 is the best choice, ever [1]. There are cases where RAID0 is mathematically proven more reliable than RAID5 [2]. RAID5 should never be used for anything where you value keeping your data. I am not exaggerating when I say that very often, your data is safer on a single hard drive than it is on a RAID5 array. Please let that sink in.

The problem is that once a drive fails, during the rebuild, if any of the surviving drives experience an unrecoverable read error (URE), the entire array will fail. On consumer-grade SATA drives that have a URE rate of 1 in 10^14, that means if the data on the surviving drives totals 12TB, the probability of the array failing rebuild is close to 100%. Enterprise SAS drives are typically rated 1 URE in 10^15, so you improve your chances ten-fold. Still an avoidable risk.

RAID6 suffers from the same fundamental flaw as RAID5, but the probability of complete array failure is pushed back one level, making RAID6 with enterprise SAS drives possibly acceptable in some cases, for now (until hard drive capacities get larger).

I no longer use parity RAID. Always RAID10 [3]. If a customer insists on RAID5, I tell them they can hire someone else, and I am prepared to walk away.

I haven't even touched on the ridiculous cases where it takes RAID5 arrays weeks or months to rebuild, while an entire company limps inefficiently along. When productivity suffers company-wide, the decision makers wish they had paid the tiny price for a few extra disks to do RAID10.

In the article, he has 12x 4TB drives. Once two drives failed, assuming he is using enterprise drives (Dell calls them "near-line SAS", just an enterprise SATA), there is a 33% chance the entire array fails if he tries to rebuild. If the drives are plain SATA, there is almost no chance the array completes a rebuild.

Willingly working in America is supporting the surveillance and military state. Yes, Canada is part of Five Eyes, but the political will to surveil everything is centred in America and the UK, Canada is just along for the ride because the cost to our defensive interests is too great to go against our NATO / NORAD arrangements.
Amazon's phone is not about competing with the iPhone, and the $0.99 price is not about it failing. Amazon's end-game is the ecosystem, which now gives free Prime with the phone among a lot of other benefits that appeals to a lot of people. This price drop is about enticing more people into the ecosystem, from which Amazon will profit off of maybe 10 years from now (they are in it for the extreme long term). The phone is not about selling phones, it's about selling other Amazon products and services. Even if they only capture 1/2 a percentage of the market, that is a lot of new customers locked into the ecosystem.
my experience with the iPhone is that Apple doesn't give a shit about old iPhones.
