Blue marble is half the resolution MapBox is aiming for and also their goal is a generalized base layer. [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5475899]

Conversely, when AWS had issues, Amazon.com was not impacted.
Amazon.com != AWS. I'm curious to know when AWS or Amazon.com innovations impact each other, or which one leads. I'd rather it be Amazon.com.
Places the gem binaries in vendor/cache, as noted. SCM those.
"While installing gems, Bundler will check vendor/cache and then your system's gems. If a gem isn't cached or installed, Bundler will try to install it from the sources you have declared in your Gemfile."

Heroku uses this tree lookup AFAIK.
They deprecated every major Mac hardware and software transition into a virtual machine.
* Mac OS 9 to Classic Environment
* PowerPC to Rosetta
Apple brands, changes brands, and moves forward. Microsoft makes Windows proper compatible with the new. They have done an amazing job both from the tech and marketing front.
And yet, computing is now the rest of us, not the "enterprise". We have amazing computers in our pockets. The enterprise changed, allowing and adapting to iPhone and Android devices.
Our phones do more interesting things than our Windows desktops.

In my experience, HIPPA does not provide any spec. It is akin to "did/do you have reasonable precautions for X?" so every organization is different, though many go to the extreme under HIPPA, because it providing documentation you had documentation, or documented you provided the document ad nauseam. It has little do do with how to mangle a document.
That said, HIPPA does have something: it persuades cynicism and paranoia. Two words which make cautious.

A strategic and public investment, like Twitter, feels unlike them. Twitter seems to be the news, not Apple.
The AuthenTec acquisition, however, feels very Apple. They have a vision, they found a partner (and for some reason, acquired them). If it weren't for the purchase, AuthenTec would still be unknown to me.
The biometric integration will be, bar none, an Apple event.
This would be the end of Apple as a culture, though they would still succeed as a company.
I'm not ready to subscribe to this. I don't think Apple will either. Too soon.
As I'm going through the deck, I'm studying each slide and note. It's loaded.
ACID, simplicity, culture, documentation, TDD, prioritization. And more I overlooked I'm sure. Each has nuggets of wisdom.
This is Good.

Yet, it seems to be fact.
I believe Zuck believes Facebook is the vehicle for these announcements and interactions, ergo his play. The announcement via FB is fair and true. I think it's a good move.
I'm disheartened to see it right after the IPO. It's rare a wedding happens overnight, let alone an IPO, so it feels deliberate to me.
And yet, given how blindsided they were with Beacon and its ilk, I can imagine the circumstance being nothing more than.
tl;dr: I don't understand Zuckerberg or Facebook.
I went through the backscatter while the TSA scanned my bags, one being a stylus with a substantial aluminum shaft. I was paranoid it would be deemed a weapon. During the screening, I witnessed a pregnant woman go through an examination.
I do not feel safer. In fact, my fear has shifted.
Infinite scroll is useful when the time and space is now for the context.
As noted by both parents, implementations for both could be better.
Observations:
* The Calibre UI needs love (the OP arrows are a clue the UI doesn't have affordances)
* ePub or "Gutenberg" support is not a current marketable term
* What formats do publishers use beyond ePub?
given input foo, my code calls library bar and expects a return of baz
This is not a technology problem. It's cultural. MPAA and consumers included.
Bret Victor describes and demos this in his presentation "Inventing on Principle." [http://vimeo.com/36579366]. BCX is better than a page-based back button. By the way, back still works.
Then, we ran the numbers. This was our graph for median time for a swag:

We went to fib, because it felt more natural with the effort. The end result is if a story is estimated on the end, everyone knows there isn't enough information, it's a black hole or it should be broken down.
Whether or not megaupload is guilty, it seems to me this was followed and bridged international boundaries nicking a "foreign" and "rogue site".
As an aside, I don't think megaupload fits a domestic definition. All indicted are apparently not Americans and it is a Hong Kong and New Zealand based organization.
