> What sucks about PrintScreen (or Alt+PrintScreen)?

In which desktop environment? Gnome? KDE? This is not an universal shortcut in X11 or Linux in general. Instead, your environment has PrintScreen configured to launch some screenshot application which comes with the environment. Maim is an alternative to that tool.

Similarly, you can configure Xhotkeys or your desktop to launch main or scrot or GraphicsMagick's import under any desktop environment or window manager.
I signed up during your beta, why do I have to resubmit all my information to sign up again? Don't you still have it somewhere?
It's a fairly common problem unfortunately. Most of the attacks I've experienced have been directed at known ports used by popular control panels (like Plesk, CPanel, etc), they typically hit those ports with brute force attacks, trying to crack admin passwords and such...and yes these attacks can happen only minutes after you create the server. I wouldn't be surprised if Asterisk is on their list. Even if it's a one in a million chance, it's worth it for them to try.

Remember there are only 4 billion or so ipv4 addresses. That's trivial for a serious botnet to scan repeatedly. They hit the ports looking for live ones, and if they catch a bite they double-down on that machine and flood it with attacks. Ipv6 is of course, many orders of magnitude harder for them to fish for.

But as far as best practices go... you just can't be too careful. Keep machines behind a firewall until they're ready to be exposed to the public (if at all). Using non-standard ports doesn't hurt either.
I think it depends. If you're working on something with a hard upcoming deadline, chances are you have no 20% time. If you're working on a launched product in incremental/maintenance mode, chances are you have extra time.

Sometimes greenfield projects or rewrites also permit lots of 20% time, because you've got existing implementations, so you can have some people maintain the old one and some people go work on the new rewrite using new tech.

I'm one of the unlucky ones with very little free time at the moment. :)

Highly Critical SQL Injection Vulnerability Patched in Drupal Core
I am as appalled as anyone at the poor response of supposed well-run countries. In hindsight, the lost years are unbelievable. However, it is quite hard to guess what will be the next catastrophe.

I personally believe we will experience another nuclear disaster in the next 10-15 years. People will be wondering why after Fukushima it was still possible to be so unprepared. But maybe it will be something else altogether, like a huge solar storm.

Our human short-term view was a boon during our civilization early development, but as the world get inherently more complex and intertwined, our culture need to really change, or it will come back to bite us quite fiercely.

IANAG, but as far as I understand G+ is a twofold process: first, there's transforming Google into a platform (as per Yegge's famous rant [0]) and secondly, there's the mediocre social network (they've managed to fail at both UX and perf, kudos for that achievement). The latter, and the confusion itself are obviously pretty idiotic. The G+ platform, despite the annoying name, is a pretty solid idea.

Larry Page claims to want to be a modern, successful Tesla [1], and I believe and appreciate him for that, but some of his actions since he took the reins again (G+, Android) are ones you'd rather expect from an Ellison or Gates. Probably that's a good tradeoff for being able to sustain innovation at a massive scale, but I'm just wondering whether some of the decisions he makes are just plain uninspired, rather than ruthless.

This being said, Larry is still the reason I want to work for Google at some point in the future. I feel like he's one of the very few high-profile CEOs that appreciate ideas and cool shit more than money, and that's something I think hackers in particular need to appreciate.

I think it's related to a book written by Schmidt and that Rosenberg guy, I think I just read a review about it a couple of weeks ago (here's the review: http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21620056-search...).

As for the presentation itself, maybe it's because I'm becoming more and more grumpier with age and haven't drunk my coffee yet, but there's something to be said about today's langue de bois, with expressions like "smart creative" and "Internet Century" being some worthy examples.
This is just your personal opinion.

You cannot discount the fact that so many customers want buy phablets these days, that even Apple thought it makes sense to deliver a phablet iPhone for these customers.

I had the same beliefs up until I bought the Note 2 a few years ago. Since then every single phone I bought for private use has been a phablet, and now I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus.

And yes, it's not only 24 hours you get, I get 2 days out of phablets, but I'm rarely playing video games.

But here's the good news for you: smaller phones aren't disappearing. If you don't like phablets, there are powerful high end phones with 4.5-5 inches from every manufacturer. So there's really nothing to complain about.
From the paper:

The application runs when the phone is not in active use. It launches itself when it detects a power source, and quits when the power is disconnected. No additional light shielding, such as tape, of the camera is required, other than placing the phone face-up (camera-down) on a table. In this way, no active participation is required once the application is installed and its operation should be fairly inobtrusive, which is critical to achieving wide participation in the smartphone community. To address user security concerns, no frames will be stored or up- loaded if the average pixel response value over the frame exceeds a threshold, such that full images cannot be re- constructed offline.

[snip]

Note that this assumes continuous operation; some degradation of observational power is expected, as phones will typically join the network during night-time charging. The observational power of such a network clearly hinges on the level of user adoption and continued participation.

--

This makes sense, there's no need to operate during the day; in fact it's much better to operate at night when background light (and therefore noise) is likely to be lower. Cosmic rays don't sleep.
Off topic but for those of you doing this manually on vista and above there are two tools built into windows which are helpful. Both are launched from the start menu and are available on all machines:

1. Snipping tool. Allows you to screenshot and annotate then email, save, copy the screenshot. This lives in my taskbar.

2. Problem steps recorder. Screen recorder that produces an Html document with embedded images and annotated key presses and clicks.

Both very helpful!

Thanks. How high is the barrier to market exit for Uber drivers?
I'm always wondering whether the people that I stayed with when I used airbnb declared the rent I paid as additional income and paid the taxes. In Germany at least I guess they would have to get a tax number from the authorities and pay local and federal taxes. There is actually an article on taxes on airbnb (https://en.airbnb.com/help/article/481), but I guess most hosts conveniently forget that they have to pay taxes. Otherwise there would most likely be far less people offering rooms in their flats if they would have to handle all the red tape.

Many guesses, no numbers, unfortunately. I'd need some numbers to really make up my mind.

That might be true for a neighborhood where none of the residents stay for long, but we're not talking about that here. It's like the inn in any small town in the old days. A bit of turnover doesn't hurt the neighborhood, it adds vibrancy and variation.

If anything, I think the typical suburban development where everyone is tied down with 40-year mortgages but nobody is actually home during the week is even more detrimental to the "quality of life of the neighborhood" than a bustling, noisier, more diverse place would be.
The reason for not including an SD card slot is that this second-class storage is said to confuse users. It mounts after the system sends the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast and may be removed at any time. Consequently, some operations are (or were) forbidden, like installing apps on the sdcard. Explaining this to users is fairly hard and, by removing the slot, unnecessary.

With 64GB inbuilt, I don't really see that as a problem, but for my 16GB N5 and N7, it's annoying at times. Also, file transfer on Linux is... improvable. I use adb to push my music onto the phone. :P

The Cram time is what piqued my interest, I assume that the decompression is also not real time. Video formats are obviously designed with real time playback in mind and processing constraints. Could you give the time to decompress that file?

Not saying this is a bad thing in anyway. I believe you are right when you mention piracy. For a torrent swarm this format would be ideal in the same way that RAR was a decade or two ago.

I think the trend to a centralised streaming Internet is a bad one. A decentralised P2P one is much more in keeping with the initial ideals of the Internet. Download, decompress (for use) and share are a much more fitting if they respected copyright at the same time.

Best of luck.

The ECB bailed out the Irish to save the European banking system, and ultimately the Euro, that was exposed to Irish bad debt via loans made to Irish banks by other European banks. The bailout was in the form of loans at a punitive interest rate, even the IMF (also part of the bailout program), seemed kind in comparison.

Ultimately the ECB eased up when it become clear that Ireland was doing a sterling job of turning itself around, making heavy cuts and reforms in the process, but the growing impression I have of the EU is that the rules are for the little countries, when you look for example at the debt problems and flouting of the European Fiscal Compact by Italy and France presently.

The lack of solidarity throughout this financial crisis has been telling, and will leave lasting resentments (just ask your Greek, Irish, or Portuguese friends).

But we have so much evidence to show that vaccines are very safe. We do not have that evidence for cannabis. We do have strong correlations between people with severe mental illness and cannabis use and that has not been explained yet.

Letting people know that there is that strong correlation and suggesting that they be cautious, especially if they have a family history of mental illness, is totally different from vaccine-FUD which is nonsense.

You know, they still sell the Nexus 5. I have it and it's a perfectly fine phone and I feel no need to upgrade.
Not sure about the other countries, but in Sweden it's $11/month (79 kr). Netflix is also 79 kr/month, and the (in practice) mandatory TV license which pays for (awesome!) public service is roughly twice as much at 173 kr/month. All have decent streaming services which covers the devices I care about.

There is very little reason to pirate TV in Sweden today, I think the only major shows you can't get are AMC's.
Well, then find a way to make people pay for those externalities if and when they occur.

What I'm against is the assumption that renting out your home should be illegal by default, i.e. illegal unless you meet a bunch of conditions. This makes it difficult to ask how we might target specific instances of negative externality.

IMO, when it comes to what you can do with your own property, the assumption should be legal by default, i.e. legal except when a specific way of using your property has demonstrable negative externalities, and even in that case, only illegal to the extent to which your actions cause such externalities.

Illegal-by-default is anathema to innovation, because it places a buden on innovators to demonstrate that they are causing no harm. It's like a subtler version of guilty-until-proven-innocent.

Well, Ireland took a bad deal from the ECB, nationalizing the bank imposion and imposing punishing austerity measures (executed with sterling enthusiasm as you say) instead of doing something like Iceland.

It's more Ireland bailing out the ECB, courtesy of hapless and/or corrupt political leadership.

Even the traditionally right-wing IMF turned around a while ago and has been consistently calling out Europe's austerity enthusiasm as damaging.
See eg. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/01/03/a...

> So they are the same old taxi drivers and motel owners.

We are paying less precisely because they are new drivers and BNB owners on the market.

I think you're oversimplifying. Not all regulations have to inexorably converge on the taxi/hotel model. Cities could ban non-resident Airbnb rentals and there would still be enough supply to have a major impact on the market. They could impose safety & insurance regulations on Uber/Lyft but stop short of the medallion system, which is the main bottleneck on supply & pricing.

In fact that's exactly what they've done:

With the Internet, you can't stop people with spare rooms and people who need a place to stay from finding each other. We now stand at a crossroads.

Down one road we recognize this is a new kind of interaction enabled by technology, which leads to legalization, with light regulation to deal with new patterns of abuse that aren't handled effectively by existing rules. Reasonable taxes and fees so the new industry covers the additional costs it's imposing on government and pays its fair share to the city, state, and country.

Down the other road is heavy-handed regulation, and punitive taxes and fees that drive small entrepreneurs and the websites that enable their business model out of the legitimate market and into the shadows. AirBNB is legitimate, but if they stop servicing an area due to regulation, I'm sure a sketchier copycat will try to take over that market. The government misses out on taxes and fees from the grey/black-market transactions. Hosts / guests that have been abused or scammed will be reluctant to seek recourse through the legal system if it will mean admitting their own illegal conduct, and will have to either endure their suffering or try to self-help.

It's really the same story as abortion, drugs, or Bitcoins.

It's hard to discount the effect of momentum at this stage. In some respects Google is just tardy to the party. The ECMAScript vs whatever discussions happened circa 1995, the decisions have been made, and there's 20 years of near universal adoption there.

Then again...browsers will do what they need to do to keep users. If Dart allows devs to build things that aren't possible in js, then devs will lean on users to use browsers that are compatible with their newly built sites. Users flocking to a new browser will make the other browsers catch up.

So, it all starts with the capabilities of Dart itself. Make it kick javascript's butt, put it in chrome by default, and the rest should take care of itself.
Too basic and bare. You have a neat little mascot in the top left. Maybe use a faded version of that blown up as the background image (like off to the left or something). The layout needs to be more consistent too with even spacing between text and point of actions.

I'd probably go with a double column layout with your points placed beside each other rather then just a ream of text.
