I don't quite see what interaction over the Internet has to do with the issue. Microsoft Office is regularly bundled with new Windows computers as a trial, or basic license. Could that not be seen as anti competitive?

I could argue that the TCP/IP stack is "bundled" with the operating system, and it's something that's very difficult to change (if not impossible without recompiling the kernel). Network engineers have probably had to put up with different TCP/IP stacks using different congestion control algorithms, impacting fairness of bandwidth usage on their networks. So by the same pretense, shouldn't TCP/IP stacks require the same choice that Microsoft were required to offer with browsers?
Congratulations, you've contested the point by completely ignoring it.

Quick question regarding JSONB:

Is attribute order stable? Obviously, order is not preserved, but if the order changes on subsequent accesses, this causes problems if you ever serve content directly from a jsonb field without sorting the attributes manually.
TLS can work perfectly well with DANE, and BGP trusting is a non-issue once you have a TLS-like protocol to secure your communication.

I don't think BGP needs to be fixed at all, the underlying problem is inherent to the Internet, changing the protocol will only close one of the several different ways for stealing data.

About TLS, yes, we need something better. Your link currently does not work, but I've never seen a proposal that's actualy better than TLS + DANE.

Not according to the American Marketing Association. Their definition - which is used as the textbook definition of marketing - goes like this:

"Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large."

Marketing is _not_ simply about communicating the value of products. Advertising something that doesn't help a customer create or experience value is not marketing.

Great news! I'd love to move over to this from MongoDB for a project that has high uptime requirements. But while I think the JSON will really replace it, does PG have a solution for High Availability (like replica sets) in the works?

I'm newer to Postgres so am not sure. Replica Sets are the killer feature for me, more so than just storing JSON documents. I'd appreciate if someone can chime in. I've done some googling but there seem to be multiple strategies for replication.

Product development is dictated by marketing strategy.

How would you build your product if you don't know what the market conditions are? How do you find out what the market conditions are? By segmenting the market by behaviour/need/price sensitivity, then targeting a segment which is underserved (or you can serve better), and finally positioning your product to cater to that particular segment with specific product design, messages and distribution channels.

Marketing doesn't develop the product. It just designs it (writes the specs).
Not trying to be mean but, why wait? If you're stuck on AWS it's not impossible (though difficult and annoying certainly) to get a decently-performant Postgres instance going. The experience setting it up will lessen the vendor-lock that Amazon has on you (convenience always has a price).

A sysadmin could have collected this data over a long period of time and dumped it on some lulz h4xors who are having the time of their life sizing it up in increments and writing trollish press releases.

There's really no need for anyone to have get paid in this scenario. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just that it isn't necessary to explain what happened.

The disgruntled employee is really the "husband did it" in murder investigations. It's so common you have to investigate it by routine every time. They probably don't have enough audit data to track the leaker, or they would already have done it.

I get what you are trying to say, and don't agree with the either the second/third class citizen descriptions, but in hedge funds/prop trading shops compensation is typically not equity based, but is very typically profit sharing based, with the engineers getting a pretty hefty share of any trading profits.

In fact, when you hear about giant bonuses in finance what you are often really hearing about are groups that traded salary for profit sharing and it paid off. In the context of finance, this comes off as shady or outrageous but in the context of startup hits it doesn't.

Lets just say, having worked under option based equity arrangements and profit sharing arrangements, they both had their positives and negatives, but only ever felt like a system was stacked against me, as an employee, when equity/options were on the table.

For years I developed in a language called Sigmac, for the Arris CAD system. I love esoteric languages, but Sigmac was downright hateful. It made you feel like the company was punishing you for daring to use it.

Some of the great "features" of the language:

* It has no scope. None. Everything is a global. Which it uses to great advantage because

* Functions can't return values! If you want to make a string uppercase, for instance, you would first store that string in the smn_transfer global variable, then call the function :j_caps, then read the smn_transfer string.

Fortunately it had a working syscall system, so I did as much of my work as I could in an accompanying script written in a much saner language, like Perl.
I'm pretty sure the logistics of 1 hour delivery can get pretty insane. However what I am really looking forward to is real time delivery anywhere.

GRSecurity is a bunch of weak, messy patches for an even weaker, messier kernel. Why not just install the most superior kernel of them all -- OpenBSD -- and not have to worry about these weekly Linux security advisories?

When are people going to realize that, despite its contributions to open source, Linux is a complete and utter mess?

Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD, and the OpenSSL rewrite LibreSSL. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

"Eastern languages outside of China" - except for Japanese and Korean, which were listed. India has the benefit of widespread English use across all its language communities. The lack of a widely spoken language like Farsi on the list argues AGAINST your claim that this list is targeted to cultures of interest to the NSA.

I'm just not sure I see any relevance to Prism at all here. Does Skype have to offer instantaneous translation in order to permit multilingual transcription of calls? No - if PRISM has that capability, it has that capability, independently of translation being provided to users.

I guess you can argue that if people are using the translation service, they will maybe speak slower, and repeat and reiterate what they are saying until it is communicated clearly by the translator, so the quality of the transcript may be higher - that's maybe valid, but obviously only applies to conversations that are actually mediated by the translator. A skype conversation in Arabic becomes no easier to transcribe by virtue of the existence of this service. Creating this service, in fact, potentially reveals the extent of their speech-to-text capability - unless they have a greater capability behind the scenes, in which case - again, what does this have to do with PRISM? And if you approach this with a paranoid mindset, surely in theory this technology makes it EASIER for non-English-speaking bad actors in countries of interest like Syria to communicate and recruit vulnerable English-speakers in the US, which strikes me as counter to the interests of homeland security.

A more positive view of this would be that anything which permits easier communication across language barriers facilitates global understanding, trade, co-operation and cultural exchange, and that long term that is the only thing which is going to end the cultural clash which drives terrorism and global conflict. So in some ways, it would be nice if this was part of a long-term US foreign policy initiative aimed at making the world a more harmonious place.... but I think it's more likely that it's just a way for Microsoft to expand the market of their product.

If China made such a movie, I would expect the government reaction to be a sternly written statement saying something.

"Death of a President" is movie about solving the assassination of George W. Bush with British production companies, so it's been done. I don't recall going to war over it or anything.

Personally, if I were President and a foreign country made a raunchy comedy about assassinating me, I'd give it a try before condemning it with a low review score.

A social norm is something that gets people to behave a certain way because of conscious and unconscious social expectations and pressure. Elevator etiquette and telephone greetings are etiquette, which is narrower than social norms.

Take something like domestic violence. It happens in western countries, but is much less common than it is in say the subcontinent. Why? It's illegal in both places, after all, and the probability of the police doing anything about it if a victim complains is close to nil. What's different is the social norm. In the west, you're raised to believe you're a really bad, evil, guy if you hit your spouse. In many other countries, it's considered something you shouldn't do, but doesn't rise to the level of a black mark on your character.

If you think about it, the only rational explanation for the criminal justice system is the establishment of social norms. Criminal punishment is almost always retrospective, and in that regard is always a net loss to society. Putting a murder in prison for life doesn't bring the victim back, and costs a lot of money on top of that. And as the drug war shows, the deterrent effect from the threat of punishment, by itself, isn't really significant.

So why do we have this vast apparatus of law and criminal justice anyway? Arguably, the reason is the establishment of social norms. When the robber thinks of breaking into someone's house, we don't just want them to weigh the potential take against the cost of prison discounted by the probability of not getting caught. We want them to think that they're a bad, evil, person for doing what they are thinking of doing.
Oh my god! It's the same article and the same comments, just different words are used. Being Seth Goddin surely helps in getting the point across though...
Floating-point flags behave in exactly this "sticky" fashion on every mainstream architecture, and processor designers don't have trouble breaking the apparent serial dependency. It's annoying, but it's well-understood, and there are widely-used techniques that address it.
I think the fact that these patches aren't incorporated into any mainline Linux distros -- while a lot of other useless stuff is (ie. systemd) -- says far more about the Linux mindset than the merits of GRSecurity (even if the GRSecurity implementation sucked horribly...FIX IT and then
incorporate it! Sheesh!)

What's different about OpenBSD is that the features like stack smash protection and W^X are in the base system, on all possible platforms (and a few that didn't seem possible at first!), always on, and there's no easy "off-switch", so crapplications HAVE to be improved in order to work. I can't prove this (and I doubt anyone could), but I suspect that OpenBSD has resulted in more improvements to programs commonly used on Linux than GRSecurity has.

A lot of people like to say "OpenBSD doesn't matter because few uses it", if that's true, then I think it is safe to say that "GRSecurity matters even less". I don't think either statement is fair, but I would like to see the code protection tools of GRSecurity in Redhat and Debian and other major Linux distros and without an SELinux-style off-switch.

See...the problem is, you can't implement code quality features if your code has poor quality. OpenBSD didn't embrace "tricks" like W^X or stack protection until AFTER they were pretty confident about the code in the base system. Auditing existing code is completely thankless work. You spend a lot of time, make a bunch of changes to the code base ... and no one notices a thing. You get far more praise making features like SELinux or GRSecurity that are not actually USED, and CAN'T be used until someone commits to making the code to be run suck a lot less.

The only important number is government spending as % of GDP. US ~38%, UK ~42%. However the UK has universal heathcare where US simply mandates health insurance making the effective tax burden lower in the UK.

In either case the US tax burden is close enough to EU levels not to make a significant difference.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/apocalypse
When people go to apple store, they probably already know the product and ready to spend, I am going to argue that Apple sales people are closer to convenience store clerks, than to real estate agents.

When someone looks at apartment, that's the first time they've seen it, and they didn't discuss it with their coworkers to death for weeks. I think just asking them for a check at that point is a bit more complicated compared to what Apple sales person has to do. Salesmanship will be important in explaining why the apartment is worth 4k, vs. whatever they think it's worth. Apple price is a one-time price for a few hundred, or at most a few thousand dollars. Each month rent is going to be more than an Apple gadget, coupled that with completely unknown product and the sales skill required becomes unparalleled.

There is obviously a difference between renting out 8k apartment vs. 4k apartment. Usually people can squeeze into a smaller apartment, usually in NYC they will be unhappy with tiny apartment as it is, and usually there are a lot of apartments they want to see before committing - it's not like Apple with only a few devices. Two apartments both at same price may be entirely different, and just because one apartment is lower price from another doesn't mean it is inferior, so it's harder to compare than electronic devices (for example apartment maybe higher in price for being next to a subway station, but if another apartment is right within walking distance of a person's job - it would be way more valuable to them, or perhaps it's closer to the correct subway line).

Is 1 out of 8 a realistic number for getting someone in NYC? do you have a source for it?

Regarding side costs - there are people who work as photographers for real estate. So if you want your listing to look nice, you may want to get one.

Take this with a grain of salt, I've never been a realtor. I have rented apartments only in NJ, and bought a house in NJ.
