The idea that "4chan isn't as lawless as it seems" is silly. Moot has always said that he'd give the authorities logs and such if they came asking for it with the appropriate warrants in hand. He's always told /b/ that 4chan isn't a shelt

These largely seem like the exact things you shouldn't do with FU money. Fly private? Bury your own fiber lines? Randomly give out $50 when the spot in line isn't really worth that? These sound like great ways to quickly end up without

The post is signed quite ambiguously "Jeff". Given that it's Amazon making a fairly large announcement here, they could do to include a last name there...

This is silly. Most of the perceived latency (the "time to interact") is synchronous backend work that has little to do with the frontend aesthetic. Almost all of the rest has to do with loading Javascript widgets from other domains.

Everyone in the 2600 group on Facebook got a message from Adrian last week: Please take a moment to delete your ~/.purple/otr.private_key & re-key as soon as possible. Verify fingerprints in an out-of-band fashion, such as telep

I love the second comment on the post. I can't imagine a tenth of what Google has to deal with every day.

No, deliberately. I'm one of them. A lot of my friends who are grad students are the same way. Gene Roddenberry, Stephenson, Gibson, and maybe like 5-10 others have probably had more effect on the development of modern technology than Wa

That's different. A generation of engineers and scientists grew up on science fiction of authors like Gibson and deliberately went out to create it.

"An actual indictment on securities fraud would make it impossible for Zuckerberg to remain Facebook’s CEO if it were to go public." How likely is that, really? Regardless of whatever anyone thinks of Zuckerberg, that's ridiculous.

Data doesn't have to be readable. Often, preprocessed datasets are totally incomprehensible for everyone except whoever prepared it. Multiple fields are combined into composites, rescaled, transposed, etc.

What would that accomplish? Please spend the time you could be slandering a persona everyone loves to hate doing something more meaningful with your life. No one ever claimed that Zuck is Zuck because he's a good guy ; Zuck is Zuck beca

I think I'm considerably younger than you. The only reason I ever needed assembly was to patch executables without source in my GUI OS; the days of insane resource constraints were already gone.

I thought C was totally terrifying and confusing for the longest time. I started in Visual Basic because it had WSYWIG forms, and I just couldn't imagine how someone would programmatically construct an interface. Feeling like you have no

I can tell you from the perspective of someone actively hiring developers, there's a total shortage of great talent. We're nowhere near satisfying all demand for really excellent engineers. Even if your point that she'll never be as goo

Emotiv is such a trainwreck; part vaporware, part straight old-fashioned fail. They're literally years behind schedule with a product that doesn't work (see http://killerprojects.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/arduino-assis... ) and is based on

There's usually a fine line when prosecuting 'hackers' like this. Are they just playing around to see what they can do? Do you have a substantial chance to point them in the right direction for the future if you don't take the legal route

Ask someone who doesn't know how to program to read just a few lines of code. Though it's very naturally readable to you -- and in general, if you didn't know a new language you could try reading it line-by-line like English -- it looks to
