I found the administrator password for my school's NT network, in 1997 or so. It was "changeme". I think the only thing I used it for was to re-enable right clicking in Windows for my user account. (It was blocked, I don't know why.)

Many months later, another boy changed the password. I think he got detention, and probably a ban from using the computers outside lessons.

People are overreacting to this. The drop in CPC is coming from getting MORE business in developing regions (which means lower cpcs & lower avg across the board). Certainly doesn't mean Google is making less money.

> We know most of Google’s growth is coming from outside North America, which means they are adding search volume but at a much cheaper auction than their established business. North America business is very strong and has seen CPC inflation for the desktop search — due to plateauing inventory and higher prices on things like PLAs.”

I always thought the THX sound was a cheesy rip-off of the opening from legendary Blues guitarist Gary Moore (RIP), to "Nuclear Attack", "Dirty Fingers" album recorded in '81. [0]

Listen to the sound here ~ https://youtu.be/5XpKaitVy_E?t=19m8s You can see a live version in '83 with the synthesiser in action here (Pinkpop Holland 23.5.1983) ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIw4RqENjDc

to synthesize it in real time, in 1983,
took 2 years to design and build a 19”
rack full of digital hardware and 200,000
lines of system code to run the synthesizer. [1]

Creating sound using DSP is hard so you need somewhere to start. Is this Gary Moore track the start point? Make up your own mind.

There's no good model out there I know of for the rate of innovation. Massive availability of a resource should spur innovation around its use. It's very difficult to predict the future demand for a resource beyond a timescale of decades.

A good historical parallel for this kind of situation might be aluminum, which was a precious metal for many years. When it suddenly became available in large quantities due to new chemical processes for extracting it, supply skyrocketed and led to whole new industries. I don't think anyone in 1890 could have guessed what the ultimate demand for aluminum would settle at, even though it was clear the price was dropping precipitously.

Sebastian,

while you are bashing this project because of too much talk, I had a look at the Rhodecode site and couldn't really gather any information about the project at all. Maybe I'm dense, but as far as I can see

- there is no description of supported workflows (branch/commit/patch-based, how do you track rebases/force pushes, etc.)

- there is no link to actual documentation

- there is no demo

- and worst of all: your "Pricing" section does not mention any actual prices.

I know I can directly download your software and try myself, but this is something I only do when I'm confident your software could at least theoretically work for our setup and is also affordable.

Personally, I would love to pay more for magazines and newspapers without any advertising whatsoever. Advertising always seems to have some influence on what is reported. A newspaper or magazine will be very reluctant to say anything very negative about the companies/industries that advertise with them, because they might lose those ads then.

Then there's the problem of ads influencing me directly, causing me to spend more money on other things, than I otherwise would.

I guess advertising in general, can cause reporters to have an attitude of "if you have a problem, buy a product to solve said problem" rather than "if you have a problem, here's some knowledge to solve said problem".

So overall, I would probably save a significant amount of money by paying more for advertising-free media. But most people don't seem to understand this.

I'm hoping this whole "dark energy" and "dark matter" thing will go away entirely.

It is amazing what ambition post WW2 Britain had for Cold War hardware. Despite the country having been bombed to bits (albeit not quite on Tokyo/Hiroshima/Dresden/etc. scale) there were many companies in the aerospace sector, plus a 'space program' of military ambitions only, that Concorde thing, not to mention various flavours of atom bomb. Incredible! Nowadays there is no huge fleet in the skies, at sea or on land. Right now there isn't even an aircraft carrier with actual planes. Despite that the cost of military hardware is forever going skyward with planes costing $100 million dollars a piece (you could buy and run an F1 team on less).
:) will do, would be fun to do also of less bigger companies maybe. Any ideas are welcome.
The Things I Carried Back
Having worked with Ruby on Rails in the past and with Play2 and Scala currently, I think I can answer that.

For your regular web app, both frameworks are mostly the same, both are boring - Rails is more productive for very common tasks, but Play2 is safer because of the underlying language (well, if you pick Scala, otherwise Java just stays in your way). Things get more interesting in Play2 when scalability or latency starts to matter.

That's when you discover that Play2's architecture is entirely asynchronous and that Play2 supports asynchronous responses and web sockets natively. It does so by means of futures [1], actors [2] and iteratees [3] (also being migrated to reactive streams [4]).

Of course, the easy route with Play2 would be with Java, however I recommend that you pick up Scala. By doing so you're going to get exposed to concepts from functional programming in a language sitting on a platform that's very much practical for real world use. There's also this book on functional programming in Scala that's amongst the best books written on the subject [5]. Functional programming changes the way you think and it's all about sanity, functional code being easier to test, being easier to parallelize and being much less prone to accidental bugs.

But while you're at it also consider learning Haskell, probably the best functional programming language available, because even if you're not using it, it's currently the lingua franca for FP concepts, so when reading papers and blog articles on interesting design patterns related to FP, most of them are described in Haskell. It also spoils you with its incredible type system, so a language like Scala will become the minimum that you'll tolerate, working in Java, C#, Python or Go becoming unbearable ;-) A really good beginners course is this one from edX [6]. And then go learn Clojure, because it's a really practical LISP that is also oriented towards FP, except that FP in a LISP is really different from FP in static languages like Haskell or Scala.

And you know, the best thing about this path is that you're not going to learn just a framework, or yet another language, but you're going to learn about functional programming, which is a concept that transcends programming languages with its related mentality and design patterns and is useful no matter what you're doing and in what language.

But then going back to Scala and Play2, well that's useful right now too. And did you know that Scala compiles to Javascript too and it's awesome?

lol they are a bunch of Communist in the same shape and color as they came in the last century.

As soon as they are done spending others people money (EU loans, etc.) they will go bankrupt once again.

The greece people voted for them because they are desperate and think that a radical change would do anything good.

Those voters are also fking clueless, and will cry in a few months once greece is finally broke.

They attempt to collect WWII reparations is like a plot for a satirical movie.
Greece is one of the Euro zone countries that economically suffers the most from the EU sanctions against Russia. Their "flirting" with Russia, as you said, is merely trying to find a way to continue to sell greek agricultural produce to Russia. Given the economical state of Greece I think that's a pretty sensible approach.

It's not offensive now because they've changed the text (a while ago). Originally it said that people who didn't pay for eOS were "cheating the system".

Some people could find that offensive, especially when eOS gets the vast majority of its codebase for free from Debian, Ubuntu and the rest of the FOSS world. What the eOS guys said was offensive to some people, and downright idiotic to everyone else!
All of these things should have happened a long time ago. Better late, than never.
Here are the thoughts of Steve Keen (an economist) about Varoufakis[1] on BBC and this how the BBC, the economist and largely every other mainstream media outlet describes Varoufakis[2]. I saw since day-1 Varoufakis described as "self-acclaimed marxist left wing/radical finance minister". A description which in the western has more than a touch of negativity. On the other side you see e.g. Jeroen Dijsselbloem[3] being presented as "President of the Eurogroup" and/or "President of the ESM", while he could be easily be described in the same vein as a "Right-right wing, non-economist with a false degree[4]". Unfortunately that's the level of journalism we are up against.

Greece apart, if one takes the time to listen Varoufakis talking, then he understands that he is an exceptionally knowledgeable man. He has a deep knowledge of his domain and he speaks his mind - which is rare for a politician and got him in to troubles with the media more than once - all to often and in a very loud and clear manner.

I'm not sure if can pull out anything positive for Greece, because other than bailing Greece out, there is no way (for the Greeks at least) out of this spiral: Following the EUs terms is equally if not (much?) more catastrophic than leaving the common currency (even without leaving the EuroZone for military/geopolitical reasons).

>> But I think their new government is doing a great job to improve their situation.

Syriza was voted in to end austerity at minimum. They are nowhere near achieving this promise. Furthermore, their brinkmanship within the EU has made this even more unlikely.

All that has changed since winning the election is a steep degradation for the prospects of the Greek economy on almost every metric. The economic recovery early this year was snuffed out. Tax revenues have declined. Cost of sovereign borrowing is up. Bank deposits are flowing out.

I feel sorry for Varoufakis. He seems like a very sensible economist. Unfortunately the extreme elements of Syriza are driving Greece out of the eurozone and into much bigger trouble.
Wow I have to agree with this (even though the post is using plotly). I don't know where the culture difference comes from between the R and Python ecosystems that makes the latter so much worse than the former when it comes to graphics. Python seems to be able to do so many things so well, but then at the final output stage it all falls apart and I find myself back in R. On that point, I even wonder if with all the Julia bruhaha, the actual real competitor in data science might actually be Javascript! Much faster than Python, and a community that truly understands graphics quality (I'm looking primarily at D3 but things like Mathbox.js and even Hicharts are pretty decent). I'm thinking that SVG and increasingly Webgl will incentivize linear algebra skills in the Javascript ecosystem, and those same skills will suddenly be transferrable to data.
