You think Sony leaked their employees' SSNs and salaries as part of a publicity stunt?
This was 1996. WebObjects was far ahead of anything I used at the time. I started using WO and EOF in 1999 and it had stuff like scaffolding (D2W) at that time. When did RoR introduce this?
The North Korean story has all kinds of issues:

- North Korea is not that technologically sophisticated (at least compared to China or Russia, for example).

- North Korea has very limited internet access in general.

- It is highly likely the few internet pipes NK has are being heavily monitored.

- NK has bigger fish to fry, frankly. They can easily control this movie within their borders and they've ignored previous movies that made fun of them (World Police?).

If it is a NK supporter or supporters I doubt they're located physically within NK. But I suspect this was just a random hacker who decided to blame it on NK/the movie for the lolz.
Well if I was going to take anything that could possibly extend my life then I'd take Selegiline[1]. It has a few reported side effect like reversible transvestic fetishism[2], but, if I were a billionaire, I'm sure I could handle it ;).

Marketing Resolutions: Moving from Lag to Lead
I'm not saying that studio is the principal agent here. What I am saying is that it's probably not coming from Pyongyang.
No, of course not! I wasn't referring to the hack as a publicity stunt, I was referring to the cancelation of the movie.
What's interesting is this is a perfect case of having a single monopoly on search is so damning to businesses. This company essentially depended on being indexed by Google - once they were struck off, their fate which was at the hands of Google is sealed.

In reality however, the spam which was being linked by users to their sub-sites should have been hosted on a separate domain name. That was a bad choice by the company. Especially if they weren't going to actively disallow links constantly.
> I could imagine them taking a patriotic tack and inviting everybody to show up well armed to the showings.

Because more guns is always a key to reducing violence...
> In a free market economy, unemployment is a necessity

Perhaps a "necessity" in the sense that it's a necessary outcome of a system designed like that.

E.g., you build an engine according to the principles of thermodynamics in this universe, a necessary outcome is wasted heat. The engine would not work if you prohibited the waste; or it would become something else entirely (not a Carnot machine anymore, or whatever).

The trick is to figure out a system where the necessary outcomes are not very undesirable. Pretty hard to do that with the entire human society.
Don't knock it till you try it - the coffee has worked wonders for me. Coffee+Butter+Coconut Oil = code :)
Wait, what - a pill? Does HGH really absorb from the guts?

I thought the usual way to administer HGH is a subcutaneous injection.
How many civilians (i.e. people with no training/little training in firearms, tactics, life and death situations) are going to be able to assess that situation, make the correct call, and save lives

Of the civilian population at large? Yeah, almost none, percentage-wise. But of the civilian population who choose to carry and even more the civilian population who choose to get a CCW permit I'd say it's "a very high percentage".

I don't know if you are a gun owner / enthusiast or not, or if you hang out with "gun people" or not, but my experience has been that the kind of people who carry regularly, go to the trouble of getting a CCW permit, etc., take shooting and training pretty seriously. There are plenty of civilians who shoot competitively and are absolutely better trained than (many|most) cops.
Some critics have seen it, so there might be some screeners out there floating around waiting to be uploaded: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_interview_2014/
his ego is definitely on growth hormone :) Amazing times are coming when billionaires will be able to defeat aging and ultimately death. And with time such options will trickle down to regular people.
I tried several for OS X and landed on using Moom [0].

The layout snapshots is really handy to jumpstart the day and put everything in place. Keyboard shortcuts allow resizing and moving windows around. It's highly configurable, so you can add or remove features as you see fit. I'd give the free trial a spin.

The last vaccinations I received were from the pharmacist at the drugstore.
I doubt enough prints remain of that film to show it in more than a few theaters, and it probably doesn't exist in a digital-projection format.
I'd agree with that. My first 4-5 years as a programmer were solo. Then I worked on a team for a year. I learned more in that year than I had in the other years combined.

If being on a team fulltime isn't possible, you can always contribute to guided/managed open-source projects in your spare time, or go to meetups, hackathons etc. Anything you can do to get around more-experienced devs will help you in the long run.
PostgreSQL may be the worst/best compromise. The Press FAQ provides an audio file the pronounces it post-grez-que-elle, keeping enough of both pronunciations to be a linguistic spork. Considering it's roots with Ingres, it makes sense, but it also feels like a layered pun.

No, the fault really does lie with the overly-litigious culture of the US.

Did you know that if you graduate from med school in Canada, they advise you not to step forward if you're on a US flight and someone asks if there's a doctor on the plane?

Because you'll get sued.
I sent one of the best developers I know to a job interview, he was rejected
It's also in no small part due to the already controversial nature of the film. I'm pretty sure that a vague threat emailed to reporters wouldn't cause Fox to cancel Avatar 2.
More to the point, there isn't a single "cancer" to be cured.
The line about opening an embassy in Cuba as soon as possible is a bit funny, since the US has long had an embassy in all but name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Interests_Sectio...

And while that's technically only a "section" of the Swiss embassy, a glance at a photo of the place makes it pretty clear that there's a bit more going on.

"There is certainly no data out there to suggest that giving growth hormone to an otherwise healthy person will make him or her live longer. We did find, however, that there was substantial potential for adverse side effects."

"In laboratory mice, mutations with the greatest, most consistent, and best documented positive impact on lifespan are those that disrupt growth hormone (GH) release or actions."
If you use it internally you get to set the hardware platform and OS version. So just go for iOS 8 as there is no reason to buy iOS 7 based hardware for your customer, unless they have a large amount of iPad 2's already.
It is really sad what kind of precedent this is setting. Hollywood is already too risk-averse as it is, and now it is going to get even worse.
The loa known as "gwern" is the result of Peter's first attempt to upload his consciousness to the matrix. It will play you a mighty dub.
If true, what's the motive of the hack? lulz? Was there some kind of extortion attempt?
A certain amount of victim-blaming is appropriate, IMHO. You can't make the world a perfect place, and if you tried, you'd likely make it much worse (Orwellian).

The US needs a more sane legal system and the world needs an appreciation of higher quality software systems, made more slowly and carefully.

EDIT: "made more slowly and carefully" is more specific and simplified than I needed there, feel free to ignore it...
Nice utility. I submitted a pull request for FoundationDB SQL Layer https://github.com/emirozer/fake2db/pull/4
Is this that bullshit where I'm trying to read some site and suddenly I find myself in the App Store? Because if so, fuck that shit and I hope all responsible parties die in a tragic helicopter accident. Seriously. Fuck them.
So who's benefiting from the "publicity stunt", if the hackers aren't North Korean?
The vibes I get from his direction are more Ozymandias-like.
Mr Smith? Elrond? WHO?

I think you mean Mitzi Del Bra!
I believe that the reviews are coming from press screenings in cinemas. I don't think screeners for (intended) wide releases are generally sent to critics before the theatrical release.
Before you spend any money, do some research. Unless I am way off, I was under the impression that HGH is not absorbed enough from the gut to be useful via that route of administration.

Unfortunately there's a lot of anti-aging and performance-enhancing quackery out there.
Generally speaking, I don't admire Jobs all that much. But comparing SJ to MM is really closer to an April's fool joke.
I've never seen an instance where armed law abiding citizens made a terrorist attack or mass shooting worse. If you know of any, I'd love to hear about them.
Why the shadow of WW1 and 1989 hangs over world events
Nice try, Hugo Weaving!
I think this is the most undervalued comment on this thread, and is the real answer - plus the normal human resistance to change.
Mind = blown.
That's awesome, I'll have to give this a try. I used to run XMonad on Arch, but then I switched to Ubuntu a couple of years back and got with the Unity program. But if I can have the best of both worlds, I'm sold.
The icing on the cake would be if a drop-down terminal like Tilda still works with this hybrid setup as well.
A combination of the aggressors and the system they were able to exploit.
Good link, thanks. Interesting that Spiegel was aware of the trend at least a year earlier.
How do you get past the brain fog during that period of time? My understanding is that your brain requires glucose, and that your liver will convert fat to glucose if absolutely necessary (such as when you're in ketosis), hence the "keto flu" transition phase.
What is the role of the logarithm in Shannon's entropy?
Just saw this now.

I'll take the societies of northern Europe that have established a large welfare state--at least relative to the Anglosphere--within a framework of capitalist economic institutions to be the (really only) representatives of social democracy. I don't really know anyplace that could be characterized as democratic socialism.

And... they're not bad off. If I could choose to be born anywhere under the veil of ignorance, they'd probably be my top choice. But I'd classify them as wholly neoliberal regimes. Even if you take issue with that characterization, at the very least, if you look at their governments over the past twenty years, they have moved sharply toward a more neoliberal program.

Which is the key point: at best, social democratic parties are mostly engaged in rearguard actions, trying to protect the best of what was built during the 20th century. Ideologically, however, they're adrift, having jettisoned pretty much everything they had, and their claim to governance always amounts to "we'll do neoliberalism better than the other parties!" Even then, more often than not they lose against opponents on the Right. Whatever you think of the ideology of social democracy, it's not offering anything new nowadays because it can't even imagine a world different from the neoliberal one we inhabit.
I live in a country where gun ownership isn't a thing and I don't think citizens in my country need guns. In the US however I don't disagree with it completely mainly due to the fact that so many people already have them (there is no way to get them back) and it seems like many more criminals in the US are armed with guns. I think that I would be on your side completely if, to get that permit, you had to take a yearly training course to ensure you are going to act rationally and safely in an event like a movie theatre shooting. It takes someone with a lot of training to act rationally in a deadly situation and to make the correct call (i.e. using my weapon will help the situation or using my weapon will make things worse and even though I have it I should not use it today). It's good to be able to shoot accurately but being able to make that call is just as important.
These are massive corporations. They have no psyche to scar, no feelings to hurt.

They're taking orders from terrorists, and it's a calculated decision.

If I say it's their fault for getting hacked for making the movie, that is victim blaming. This is just disappointment.
16-24h intermittent fasting for HGH, 72 hours for immunity refresh.
Yeah it sounds more and more like someone doing it "for lulz".

North Korea will never bomb an American theater, unless they developed a suicidal urge for sudden and forceful "liberation".

Maybe, given the hyperbolic rhetoric they are fond of using, they might feel perfectly OK threatening to unleash "a sea of fire" on the US, but I doubt even North Koreans are taking these expressions seriously.
Are you sure those speedups are docker related, those sound like they're bundler/caching related?

( as in http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/caching/ )
There are a lot of interesting things that happen while fasting, and I think we don't have nearly enough research on it. I'm far more interested in the possible beneficial effects at the level of the central nervous system - that's where I'd like most research to go.
I'm trying a bulletproof experiment after New Year's. Care to share your formula/method? The one time I tried Kerrygold in coffee, I didn't like the taste.
I use tmux over mosh on my Linode. I've just never found it to be particularly useful on my local machine. Especially because it removes the ability for my terminal to manage history and requires using a keyboard shortcut in order to scroll backwards in history.

Would you prefer the alternative: a dark room full of defenseless victims?

Or perhaps you have another option, say an increased movie ticket price and on-site, armed security?
You have to be an A-lister, and a top name at that (like Tom Cruise) to get that kind of deal.

Everyone else gets a flat fee or some other graduated revenue. The Sony leaks show that Rogen and Franco got a fixed salary for The Interview (which is probably the smartest deal of the year, given the circumstances)
We're making fairly rapid advances on treating different cancers with the fairly blunt methods available today. Down the road nanomachines would seem to offer a fairly straightforward solution to most cancers. Obviously cells don't live forever but am I missing something that makes cancerous cells resistant to increasingly miniaturized tools?
Although I don't think it's a matter of free speech (private businesses can choose what they want to show) it's sad that threats the police aren't even taking seriously have to be taken seriously by companies most likely because if something did happen people would sue them. I will never understand the people who would sue if something happened but they are the reason businesses are so damn careful about things like this.
Agreed 100%. This would be hugely helpful for me (and others I hope): I get where Angular shines (heavy-lifting for single-page apps). The part I'm missing is how to do the day-to-day jQuery stuff in Angular. Change CSS classes on button clicks. Hide & show elements on drop-down changes. Etc.

In my mind, Angular is still "for building a rich app", whereas jQuery is "for adding a bit of magic to an otherwise static page" (I know that's not really true, but it's what I use it for.)

I'd love to get fluency in Angular - or at least a great understanding of it - for that latter case. Is it usable for the day-to-day "magic" bits of an otherwise normal webpage? (Other than the 2-way data binding example which I see all the time and understand).
I did, paying a huge premium to have it shipped to Spain. Did nothing for me.

But my point is not about the coffee per se; it's ignoring two big cofounders what really bothers me.
Forget law abiding citizens. Armed law enforcing officers kill more Americans than terrorists. And you think more guns would make it better?
A hand-picked group of say 5 kids from within NK, given special training for years and access to lots of resources could easily pull off what happened at Sony. None of your points are things that would stop a small special ops team from pulling off the Sony hack. Nor would it have required a significant reason or investment.

Simply because the alternative is that a small group of semi-sophisticated non-state backed hackers could also pull if off. To say that NK can't acquire or won't utilize similar capabilities is a bit naive.

What we need is evidence that it wasn't NK than even more endless conjecture here.

>> "- North Korea has very limited internet access in general.

I think the accusations are being levelled at the NK government not some rouge civilian hackers.
3-day fasting is brutal. I don't think most people can do it.

I speak as someone who has fasted up to 1 week. Interestingly, the difficult period is exactly the initial 2...3 days. After that it's no effort at all - albeit physical performance seems to decrease, of course.
Your liver doesn't convert fat to glucose, it converts it to ketone bodies (such as acetone) which the body can also use for energy instead of glucose.
Second this.

Thanks for indicating content below the fold!
His page actually wasn't even loading when I attempted to visit it. Just check and yeah you're right. I wonder when somebody is going to come along and match Rapha in everything but price.
>Actually there is a natural way to hack your body and increase your HGH by about 2000% [1] via fasting.

>One theory is that when you fast, your body activates the HGH to help burn fat at faster rate.

That somewhat dovetails with generally recommended practice of having only scheduled 3-4 meals during the day without snacking in-between and thus giving yourself an opportunity to get hungry in-between the meals vs. constant snacking (incl. sugary soft drinks drinking).
I wholeheartedly agree with your commentary about such "compartmentalized" approach to systems tasks. The description of narrowmindedness is on target for many domains, certainly I've observed it in medical fields.

The problem arises from complexity. We are able to track only so much information at a given time so specialization develops. But as we find out more and more how processes intertwine it calls for having awareness of the generalist point of view as well.

It's a difficult feat to accomplish, to hold a meta and detailed view simultaneously. Probably it's a particular talent to be able to do so, but as complexity is not going to decrease, future leaders will need to be talented in this way if the problem is going to be solved.
Sony? If you're hacked, might as well spin it into a good-vs-evil story, where the evil just happens to be part of a movie you're launching.

If Sony didn't have this cover story, then they'd have nothing with which they could distract people with.
Great idea! Where's the privacy policy? I don't want the very specific info I enter about my dad showing up in ads he sees.

It'd be helpful to have a back n forth between items, or even better show them as a list (maybe paginate and generate more ideas on each page?). I want to see the options before settling on one.

What I liked best was it gave me a category that works (smartwatch) which spurred an idea for an actual gift- a Fitbit.
So while we humans use a massive amount of generated electricity to defeat darkness, Jellyfish create their own light deep underwater without solar panels, wind turbines, or hydroelectric dams. Instead, the organism generates power completely autonomously.

They don't need energy, they just generate it autonomously. Why didn't we think of this earlier? The logic is flawless!

I think that statement is a response to Venter's synthetic bacteria.
WebObjects is still available and in use by a small but active circle today.

http://wocommunity.org

It moved from Objective-C to Java under Apple. Apple discontinued shipping it with OS X Server Snow Leopard, but the frameworks are still available/free. The community picked up where Apple left off with the open source Project WOnder.

It is a full stack development framework. Enterprise Objects Framework(EOF) is the ORM or Model layer like Cayenne or Hibernate. WebObject components are the front end View layer like you might get from Tapestry.

I have yet to find a web framework that rivals its Controller layer, DirectToWeb (D2W). D2W sits between the Model and the View. It can generate Views automatically using information from the model and with customizable direction from a rule system. It also provides controller actions with customizable callbacks.

Out of the box, WebObjects can reverse engineer your database, constructing a full model of it, and D2W can then construct a full blown Create/Read/Update/Delete interface to it with no coding required. If you don't have a database, you build a model and WebObjects can generate the SQL necessary to create the database for you as well.

It's still pretty amazing, despite being treated like an ugly step child by Apple. It still powers the billion dollar iTunes store as well AFAIK.
I cannot. I can name numerous situations where one "armed law abiding citizen" has shot another "armed law abiding citizen." If people came armed to a movie, I wouldn't go, not because I fear a "terrorist" attack, but because I fear armed individuals in general.

And statistics back me up, the number of people in the US killed in terrorist attacks is insignificant relative to the deaths from gun violence.
Lol, shouldn't he look more swole?
I imagine he just hasn't implemented them yet--they're not incredibly difficult and can usually be added later, as I did for Plan 9's rio WM at some point.
I agree with you that criminalization doesn't solve any real problems, it just sweeps them under the rug. Short of wide public support and funding for an expansion of social services, housing, and in some cases institutionalization, I don't expect any solution to the problem anytime soon.
Can you enlighten me what "SWFs" are?

Yes, you're missing a lot. Your response is basically science fiction. Take a look at these statistics [1] showing cancer mortality rates over the last few decades and you'll see that we are not, in fact, making rapid advances on treating cancer. Far from it. And I don't even know how to respond to your nanomachines comment. I'm a biochemist who's studied cancer for years, and I can't even begin to imagine how a nanomachine could be of value for treating cancer.

Agreed... This is a terrible precedent that only show everyone in the world how easily we fall back on our principles and values.

I think that Judd Apatow and Jimmy Kimmel said it best on twitter..

"I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?" - Judd Apatow

" @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent." - Jimmy Kimmel
