WikiLeaks Publishes Archive of Documents Stolen in Sony Attack
Didn't downvote but... the issue with this line of thinking is that of sheer numbers.

If you give 100 people a 1% of succeeding, but difficult times in the first years, and they all refuse to give up, after it's all said and done 99 will be depressed, estranged from friends & family, in debt, feeling like a failure etc.

And 1 person will be successful, and he'll do a PandoDaily fireside chat and talk about how he lived on a couch, and racked up creditcard debt, and woke up crying, but that he kept on going and is a billionaire now. And he'll command the majority of the media narrative around startups.

Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point, but the notion that most people fail and don't make it, and probably shouldn't continue after some point is completely true.

It's the same line of thinking that says 'well Bill Gates was a drop out, and so was Zuckerberg etc'. It may say that dropping out is not the end of the world. (similar to how being at a low point in a startup is not the end of said startup).

But it also carries the implication that dropping out is somehow not an issue, or that being at a low point in a startup is just a phase. For the majority of people, dropping out carries consequences, and being at a point where all hope seems lost, is usually rightly so the beginning of the end of your startup.

Expecting endless perseverance by looking at the tiny percentage of hugely successful startups that went through difficult times, ignoring the much bigger number of completely unsuccessful startups that went through difficult times, is probably why people downvote your post.

As the OP doesn't appear to have traction, have any semblance of salary, shifted to do freelance work and didn't provide ideas on how to pivot, I think it's probably time for him or her to put this one in the freezer and try something else.

edit -- weird thought you mentioned getting downvotes. Might be going crazy :)
"Government ties, connections to the military industry and support for politicians? How is that a scandal?"

The archive is made public to enable us to find out exactly that.

Edit: so many angry reactions. I was answering to a post that seem to hold the point that it wouldn't be a scandal, if a multinational company buys influence from politics. With this I indeed disagree.

What your comments suggest is that I think it is ok to publish illegally hacked material. I don't and I did not write that.

On the other hand I have some trust in wikileaks that they don't publish the data just for everybody to sneak into private affairs. I expect it to contain proof of illegal action. That's now for journalists and investigators to find out.

But there is still the issue of illegally acquired data. Where I come from, this must not even be used in court and thus would be worthless.

I got my (mid-2012) rMBP about the same time as a friend got the equivalent MBP. I had to order mine with 16GB of RAM but he ordered his laptop with 8GB of RAM and installed a much cheaper 8GB to reach 16GB. There are a few things that it's nice to "fiddle with". Being able to swap out the SSD is another convenience.

Regional stability didn't make for a very good time in Iraq if you were a Kurd, had supported the U.S. in any way or if you wanted to eat.

The company is a separate legal entity.

I had a funny conversation when I left after they repeatedly failed to provide working equipment while still wanting the job done.

I told them I wouldn't be coming back and they told me that my contract required me to give notice and that I would have to turn up to work for two more weeks on whichever shifts they wanted.

I pointed out that the contract also stated that I had zero hours contracted and that shifts had to be agreed on a week by week basis, so if they really wanted I could give them 2 weeks notice but for that 2 weeks I would not be agreeing to do any more than the hours they had written on the contract.

I also asked if they could go and count them for me.
My understanding is that Apple is one of the leading companies when it comes to eWaste. Also, this is the one of the rare Apple product that that only has industry standard ports/power chargers on it.

You can't critique them on building a product that is hard to repair (and wow, this one looks next to impossible for your average non-technician) - but the ewaste/standard charger concerns don't appear to be valid.
Car rental firms won't even rent you a car until you turn 25, and that's because your brain has only just stopped developing.

Please get some perspective, and stop caring caring what others think. It's liberating to drop something that isn't working. It sounds like you might be in a culture where failure is shameful, but who cares. Hold your head high and say 'yeah, that didn't work out, learnt a lot, doing something new now'.

It's only a failure at that age if you didn't absorb any of the lessons. At least you didn't waste the time doing a useless college degree in a field nobody cares about.

Bloomberg suffers global terminal outage – hacking being investigated
Thanks! I was just thinking I might take a chance, but at this point I'm actually thinking about reinstalling what came with the machine. These new operating systems are literally making me angry.
Anecdotal evidence. Here's mine:

I never ever had any issues with any of my 3 desktop PCs or with mit X200 in the last 5 years. With my recent Thinkpad X1 carbon I had to boot only once into safe mode after upgrading some Lenovo provided driver after almost 2 years of use.
I don't understand how Bloomberg could be down worldwide.

Worldwide???

99% of what Bloomberg terminals are useful for can easily be replicated in multiple data centers. Why not, at a minimum, three separate regions, e.g. Asia, Europe, America?

These terminals lease for $24,000 a year. No discount for multiple terminals. I wouldn't be surprised if a single big investment bank pays $50 million a year to Bloomberg for its terminals. Michael Bloomberg is a billionaire. Surely the company can throw a few crumbs into some redundant data centers and availability zones.

And if it's down because of a botched worldwide software update, the people responsible should be immediately walked out the door and told "you're too f*ing stupid to work here any more".

IMO.

Sorry to be so dramatic. But the financial world depends on these terminals (for better or for worse). They have a right to expect unrealistic reliability.
I love the Open Pandora, it is a fantastic little machine with lots of positive benefits .. the battery life is amazing, plus I can use it to charge the quad-copter, lol. http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=all&s=new is how all appstores should be run. Its a fantastic email machine, and it runs wordwarvi. Heck, it can even compile wordwarvi from sources. The work being done on glshim for Pandora ports is phenomenal - want Blender in your Pocket? Simply the best MP3/Music-playing device around .. decent and steady set of releases from the Indie game scene .. its just a great little device.

The poor already decide by choosing between Internet.org and other plans, like the Vodafone one someone posted in another comment.

Yeah I was wondering that, too. But $200 seems a bit on the low side for Poland for someone doing work for hire in tech. Also him/her saying it's 'not a developed country' wouldn't make me thing of Poland, it's a developed country by most standards (e.g. IMF, HDI etc), though struggling in rural areas and opinion differs.

Heh, interesting tidbit. I've seen them advertising for positions in London on HN and they gave a good impression.
I much prefer explicit over implicit so I'm not a big fan of RAII. I find it hides things that are happening in the code which makes it hard to find performance and other problems from inspection. ATS has tail call optimisation and destructors would make it hard to tell when TCO can't be done due to the hidden destructor calls.

Another nice thing ATS has is the ability to specify the API for a C function to a level of detail that enables removing a whole class of erroneous usage of the C API. I have an example of this where I start with a basic API definition and tighten it up by adding type definitions:

I don't think this should count as a counterexample. You have switched laptops in 2013, and while there could be many valid reasons for that (battery life, more power for development, your old laptop does not support a new OS) it made you old laptop inadequate -- and hence the switch.

While I agree that it's distasteful revealing people's email, and I've had no interest in looking in what was revealed, it's not clear to me what rights are being violated here. These were corporate accounts, and, anyone who is an employee of a corporation, knows that every email they write/send on a corporate mail server, absolutely can come into public purview, quite often during legal discovery. The old saying, "Do not put anything in email if you don't want it to appear on the front page of the New York Times" is absolutely correct.

(True story - while I was working for desktop support at Netscape, one of my fellow technicians ended up having one of his emails end up in the New York Times - and he had sent it to our internal lawyers. Turns out even that can't protect you).

Sony probably has strong grounds to come after whoever breached their security, and send them to prison for many, many years - but I don't know if their are specific individual "rights" being breached by wikileaks here.
> ..asked about a possible hacking, she said Bloomberg was looking into it.

I wouldn't read too much into this. I'm at Bloomberg's offices in London right now and the terminals here are working fine. From the error displayed on the terminal in the article's photo, it looks like a connectivity/infrastructure issue.
Absolutely the only one issue I had with Vista was that system file copying went a little slow, and you could get 2x+ speedups by just using Total Commander instead. Apart from that, I had pretty much problem-free experience with Vista.

This kind of implies that all private company correspondence is "fair game" for us to find out if they're doing anything bad if you're clever enough to obtain it. e.g. via hacking, whistleblowing, crappy security policies, etc.

Actually, if you think of the whole backplate as a part of the battery, isn't this battery quite easy to change?

You could simply sell batteries already glued to the cover, the rest is just screws and connectors. Might be a bit more expensive, but it shouldn't be too hard to do the replacement then.
Yeah, so let's repeat that - this time in a vastly different market, way crazier demographic variety, far different socio-economic & growth conditions and tech/internet revolution which has exponentially changed for good since then.

What can go wrong? At the most we are risking only a generation of Indians thinking FB as internet (just like Indonesians) who will then graduate to think Chrome icon as the browser (just like people thought of IE shortcuts on their Win95 desktops).

Let's allow the same mistakes but this time execute it better. I can get behind that.
First of all: you can absolutely fail your first startup and then have success at the second, or third, or whatever one - or have success without a startup :)

So, whatever happens, recognize that if even if your startup fails, you're not "losing at life". Life goes on, and you'll have much more experience than before.
> Moreover, down the road, when humanity reaches a state where most wars are fought by machines against machines, the pointlessness of the exercise may become a lot more apparent.

Like I wrote in my comment, it doesn't seem to be used in the real-world projects and SDKs that I deal with.
This article is correct in stating that trust and reputation is a serious problem for Bitcoin. But I don't think the article diagnoses exactly what is causing it.

After all - there is nothing in all these negative headlines that give you a strong reason to believe that the Bitcoin ecosystem is less reliable overall than more traditional institutions. For every Bitcoin related scandal you can find an enormous number relating to the traditional financial system. The Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme alone was six times the size of the entire Bitcoin market cap at the moment. Yet every Bitcoin related scandal is interpreted by commentators as a sign of the anarchic failure of its central premise; while every scandal relating to the traditional sector does nothing at all to impede its reputation as the default way of doing business.

I presume the explanation for this bias than a deep and abiding fear of distributed consensus - not just in the authorities and institutions that would lose their power; but in the culture at large. What else could it be?

I don't know what you should do to combat that - but it's clear to me that this is the fundamental idea that needs to be targeted.

War is horrible and thus starting a war should be avoidable at all costs - it should be a last resort, but this recommendation applies to the politicians and country leaders.

For the trooper, it's entirely differnent - assuming that a war exists already, the choice is about which bodies get sent there, and not wasting your training is a reasonable argument. Once a war exists, joining it usually contributes to it's end; if the other things are somewhat comparable, a shorter war is less horrible to everybody (especially local civilians) than a prolonged war, and you get a shorter war by winning with an overwhelming force.
