hmm, I have to say I haven't had a recaptcha that bad yet, but I have had some bad ones.... But uh... on the first bad recaptcha when trying to guess their password they thought - this recaptcha is ridiculous I will try to solve it of course but just right now I am also going to screenshot it because this is naturally the first thing I think to do!

It seems to me that this would only be of interest if it can be shown that an immoral person is not someone that cooperates with other immoral people but not with moral people.

I think the author means Korean in that he can't read it. I don't believe Ken Iverson had a Korean connection in making it.

If sites can make spammy links to another site and google would then hurt the linked to sites ranking it follows that a profit model would soon arise -> Make spammy links and charge to have links removed.

Has this been seen? Can anyone show a case?

eww, biscuits!

Hmm, according to the article in the new yorker the food costs for doing it oneself is 50 dollars a month and it was a significant time saving from making food or going out to eat, now if I figure out that it actually works as advertised - why wouldn't I just do what the original inventor did instead of buying it?

brackets is open source http://brackets.io/

about this, I use brackets, a lot of it does look like brackets maybe with some ideas taken from light table http://www.lighttable.com/

There's a thread on discuss.atom.io about what distinguishes the two http://discuss.atom.io/t/what-distinguishes-atom-io-from-bra... I guess I don't feel atom does enough different from brackets that I can justify switching editor at this point, but if anyone has more to add than was found there I'm interested to hear.

Finally I feel like I understand Java.

Was that too snarky?

They made something to facilitate piracy, most probably piracy not done for profit, but did not pirate something and then put it out as their own with the intention to make a profit.

gasp I didn't even know what feigned surprise was!

I agree with the stupidity on evidence, but Microsoft's taking advantage of that stupidity of course underlines that they will read your email if they think it is to their advantage to do so and can make a legally satisfactory argument.

There's a difference between an idea guy and a Proof of concept guy.

not necessarily. there's not enough context as to how they got to stripe.

Did they write the url in the address bar of the browser without any other context, or did they do something that signalled what they were going to do.

I bet #2.

#12 - No Company consistently fails to execute past Proof of Concept stage as much as google.

#13 - No Company consistently fails to monetize extremely popular services and instead shuts them down as much as Google.

I don't care about the programming, what I want to know is why is using a spellchecker so difficult?

That's a pretty lousy rate of return for inventing time travel really.

The normal way one calculates this is by buying power of those dollars - what could you buy then and what would it cost now.

But really I could have bought a Sub-Mariner comics #15 in mint condition, and it would be worth quite a bit more today.

Well, if this story is true ( I put the if because it seems silly to have that account be the target ) then access to the account is proof of a crime (this is why it seems silly)

If they sell it to someone I guess that is a reason to take it, but it also seems like some enterprising DA would want to use it as an example of receiving stolen property ( because News! Hacking! Fame!) So if anyone buys this name they might be in trouble at some unspecified point in the future.

this is the obverse of the idea that just because you succeed does not necessarily know why you succeeded. You do not have the full view in either case.

I thought it wasn't irony, but rather the actual message.

Well this one is ok, since he is going to pay for that one hour. Then again, if you do know how to program in the programming language but don't know the APIs used it can be more than one hour to get something done..

I was interviewing with someone that wanted me to make an example sentiment analyzer for twitter and facebook to get hired. But he wanted someone to do it for free, I of course wanted money to do that.

Too late, voice of wisdom, too late!

What was that about the sky's the limit for great design, was there a prediction there? I expect predictions to at least some quantifiable component about them.

It seems that this is an awful thing that google is doing, but I really couldn't get very far in the article before getting tired of the author's unintentional schtick - the following is where I stopped:

"They don’t buy links? They don’t bribe bloggers? They don’t sell links on MOZ? Yes, you’re reading right. SEOs sell links on MOZ. But we all know this. It is so obvious. But MOZ is not the topic of this article.

And this is not going to be an article; I would like to look at it as a report. We will make a report about huge companies (we will start with one company), ranking for tens of thousands of keywords using black hat tactics. "

I'm having trouble understanding the continual claiming that REST is not asynchronous - which I guess means that REST is synchronous. Saying it once would be a typo, but several times and I start to feel there is a distinct difference of opinion between myself and the author as to what constitutes a Restful architecture.

Would you let your child get on a bus driven by someone who wasn't taking their prozac?

I think I'd also like to add where's the motivation? Basically someone who did this would have to be what? A Serial killer with a biotechnology fetish? I'm sure that a profile could be constructed of someone that would have the motivation to do it, but that would of course be a big limitation of possible people doing it, and then out of that group limit it to the people capable of doing it, and so forth - and actually would it really be likely that someone with the skill to do it would also be in the group motivated to do it? 12 monkeys aside I actually think not.

I think in Denmark or any country with lots of support for cycling and expensive cars it would be reasonable.

This is true, but really if you are running a playlist of music you are using it like a radio - I tend to get an ad per every video which is quite a bit more than other radio solutions, it breaks up the flow and so forth.

and running Windows!

I put this in because reading the last bitcoin thread I realized, hey this is a good money making scheme for all those botnets out there. And then I googled it.
