Of course there are ads. Amazon never implied that there wouldn't be. This isn't Amazon trying to be sneaky. The opening lines say that everything is free and developers get paid according to use. How did you expect that would happen? It has to be subsidized in some way, and in the context of an app store that means ads.

When you download an app in the app store it says "free" not "free with ads" because you don't have to pay any money for it. It's still, technically, free.

It's not clear to me that he has any case at all with the trademark. You don't get to dictate how everyone uses your trademark. Some uses are acceptable without permission:

"Usually it is permissible to use another person’s or company’s trademark or service mark when referring to a product or service of that person or company, provided it is clear that the mark is being used truthfully to refer to that specific product or service. It may not be used in a way that might mislead others as to that person’s or company’s affiliation with, sponsorship of or endorsement of your company or its products or services—for example, using a logo instead of simply the word form of the mark, or using the mark more prominently or frequently than necessary."

From the author's pov, it's an interesting proposition.
Take sorcery for example: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dba...

I bought this and played it for about an hour to completion.
For my hour, I'd have made them $0.12. Instead, I paid $4.64.

So for them to get to the same profit using this model, they'd have to attract $4.62/$0.12 = 38 times more users. i.e instead of having 1000+ downloads, they'd need to be in the 38k+ downloads range and for everyone to have played it to completion.

I see two problems for this particular game.
1. Fighting fantasy based games are a niche market so is there going to be a large enough user base to support this?
2. I'd say that the length of a typical gamebook shouldn't be more than 1-2 hours as it will get very complex. So they're kind of capped re per player usage.

Since it's a niche market, I don't imagine there would be hundreds of thousands of people trying this out for 5 minutes each.

From this reddit thread [1]:

> Right now this work is on a branch and will likely be merged to the default branch after the PyPy 2.6.1 release which should happen any day now. So this work should become available in PyPy 2.7.0 or PyPy 15.xx if the release names change naming conventions.

What's especially cool is that any JIT generated by PyPy will be able to use this, so if you write your own language in RPython it will be able to automatically use SIMD as well.

Read the "Time's up" message they wrote. They pretty much speak in a righteous way to the signed up people. They tell them to "atone and move on" or something of the sort.

This reads to me more like "power trip" than anything else.

You are jumping to unfair conclusions about the person you are replying to. You clearly disagree with him, but this is offensive. You should delete it.
There are serious privacy implications of this. Is there a separate privacy policy for this? Will there be cross app user tracking / retargeting? Are there any privacy opt-outs?
Still, it's kind of underhanded to emphasize the "it's like the premium apps, but free!" as if it's some revolutionary new model... when in reality it's just the typical ad-supported version of an app that customers are familiar with. (The model may be new for developers, but the promotional page is entirely aimed at customers.)

Evil Mode: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Emacs
The use case I am thinking of now seems to be more appropriate for apps like GitLab where sharing URLs from within the app might be useful, for example sending someone a link to a file like this:

https://d85snt1c8mqgrfxcd2o1.blah.company.com/gitlab/repo/bl...

Another issue with this is because of the navigation being done with frames, those URLs are somewhat hidden from the user. I have some thoughts on this, but they may be worth saving for the issue tracker as this appears to be an issue with the GitLab port and not Sandstorm itself.

remember that you paid $4.64, but 30% of that went to Amazon anyway.
Generally, about 2-3% of the people who would download a free app would also pay for it, which could make Underground a good choice. People who haven't paid though, aren't as invested, and are more likely to quit using that app sooner.

Also, there's the niche issue: it's very possible that fighting fantasy fans are more likely to pay for their apps, which means none of these numbers applies to them.

Amazon Curtails Development of Consumer Devices
Oh, I definitely expected ads, I'm not surprised at all, and I don't think Amazon is being excessively sneaky (though it would be nice if this information was more prominent on their developer pages). I'm mostly disappointed in the authors of the multiple news articles I saw about this [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] for parroting Amazon's "Free Apps" PR without doing enough research to find out about the ads Amazon is using to pay for the deal.

"Lawyers can argue about the stop, but it happened"

Lawyers have argued about the stop and the verdict has been reached and upheld on appeal. The rest of your arguments are just as ignorant of the actual case.

"There was, from the cops perspective, a real infraction here"

No there wasn't. The cop himself said so.

I grew up on this guy's show in the twilight of his career, on Nickelodean in the 80s. Had a few of his books as well - good stuff. I'm glad he's not forgotten and I wish more educators on TV would take his approach. I was in my very early teens by the time Bill Nye's show became popular, but compared to Mr. Wizard's World I found it patronizing and didn't watch it much. (Beakman's Lab or whatever, I found plainly insulting and never gave it a second chance.)
"Never fear, I is here." I still catch myself saying this at times.
His experiment where he had the kid put his hand in the water without getting his hand wet blew me away as a youth.

Loved his show, and wish there was something like it on for my kids.
I don't think so. Facebook doesn't say "This is free with ads!" It says it's free to use. It just so happens that ads are byproduct of using it.

It's pretty obvious in the documentation and on every page except for the original product announcement that it's ad supported, but I don't expect Amazon to use a bunch of their 200-word product announcement to justify why there are ads.

The important point is that it's free, meaning I don't pay for it with dollars. When is the last time a free product shouted "BTW it's only free because of ads?!" I felt like it was implied, and I don't expect marketing to be like, "And here are the tradeoffs you have to make and that you might not like." When you download an app from the current app store (Apple or Google) it says "Free," even if the app includes ads.

I don't feel slighted one bit.
Life will last much longer for you if you accept that people will most likely act in what they perceive to be their self-interest.
I did not know I could disable the auto play. I find it so annoying, nice to know!
Because they feel bipolar on security sometimes. On one hand they go to the extremes with auditing and being early adopters of various security technologies but on the other hand they lack in other areas. Until recently they didn't sign binaries because the blessed method was to acquire patches via CVS which were signed. Iso files and their signatures are distributed via http because the blessed method of acquiring the signing key is to acquire and verify it over multiple networks, because PKI can't be trusted even though some of us check that https isn't being signed by a weird CA and companies like Verisign aren't likely to burn their CA business for anyone - so I'm forced to use Tor just to download an iso file complete with updating virtual machines hooked to Tor because who knows which exploits are being pushed from exit nodes... Then there is limited choice of packages and for everything else you are left to community ports and I don't trust randomers maintaining them. In practice OpenBSD is good only for servers where you are willing to put some effort in maintaining them, but it isn't prepackaged solution like Ubuntu is.
Having just left a career at Amazon that spanned nearly 5 years, I can say with experience that it is not so uncommon to find this happening. I worked at a subsidiary, and we had to bill Amazon Corporate for our own AWS use. Being a media-oriented company, this particular subsidiary is sometimes a bit of an expensive AWS customer.

As a result, my former department, to this day, uses a Hightail (formerly, YouSendIt) dropbox as its only means by which customers can deliver files to the support and quality assurance teams.
I love cat based electronic projects. I've been trying for the last few weeks to come up with a real time GPS tracker, but I just can't seem to finalize the parts list. All gps chips I know of are too big and tend to overheat.
Hyperlingo news, a hacker news for stories about language and translation
From the article we are discussing, you probably should recommend grsecurity a few lawyers.
To install, it requires a rear-facing camera for some odd reason.
Agreed. I could see this being possible with a pre-existing trademark policy, and an explicitly different trademark for "test quality" code, and being very careful about it all, but otherwise I just don't see it. Trademark is to correctly identify the source of a good, and the source here is identified correctly. If it was creative commons licensed, they would be required to do what they have done.

Not only all that, it seems like this is a bit strange that their complaint is that they called it grsecurity without using a blessed version, so their response is to stop giving out blessed versions publicly. Won't that just encourage more companies to do exactly what they are complaining about?
She probably doesn't like it from behind
Yeah, I'd love to play around with Git Fusion sometime to see how it plays with binary workflows. Could be a nice way to bridge teams that aren't Perforce friendly.
You have to be able to show you've suffered an injury (in the legal sense) that gives you standing to sue. Just getting pulled over and let go might count as such an injury, but how much can you reasonably expect in compensatory damages? It's not worth the time and money.

I'm definitely impressed and certainly wouldn't be able to keep up.

However I'm not sure whether this is because what she's doing is an incredible accomplishment or I just treat my body horribly. She has probably more than 60 years of experience doing these things and kept in perfect shape her whole life. Just imagine what we might be capable, if we kept our bodies equally well in shape, now and in the future.

Maybe I should feel less impressed and more ashamed at myself or equal parts of both.
Wow. Those links are pretty damning.

Ars mentioned there are ads in the Underground app itself, but didn't mention anything about ads being added to apps. Techcrunch only mentions ads in explaining how previous app revenue models used banner ads. The Verge doesn't mention ads at all. Embarrassing.
The Unprepared and Caught Out Trader
The grsecurity brand is a registered trademark and spender has the right to control how it's used. If you ship a product with the official grsecurity patch applied, you get to say it uses a grsecurity kernel in your marketing. If you want to use anything but the latest official/test kernels, then you need to make it clear that it's not grsecurity (but rather your port) or pay official support with all of the backporting, auditing and testing that entails.

I'm working on a product using my own port of PaX/grsecurity and I had no problem understanding and complying with spender's wishes about this.
I believe in consequences, and personal responsibility. Yes, hacker's publicly exposed personal information, but it wasn't the personal information of Mother Teresa.

I wonder if one's opinion on the ethical nature of this hack, hinges on your moral disposition on cheating/infidelity. I'll illuminate what I'm getting at, by asking you this hypothetical:

If Ashley Madison were a website for child sex trafficking, and the names of registrants were exposed, leading to arrests, and public shaming... How would you feel?

I'd be very surprised if you kept the same opinion, that publicly outing those individuals, was not a fit punishment for the crime. Given that, then this entire conversation is completely subjective, and based entirely on your opinion about cheating, lying, and infidelity.

These aren't arbitrary just because they are enshrined in religion and custom. Before the pill, women couldn't sleep around without fear of getting pregnant. Before condoms, people couldn't sleep around without fear of STDs. Before DNA testing husbands couldn't be sure they were the father of their own children if their wife had an affair. Before modern medicine, abortion carried a significant risk of complications - potentially death.

We are adjusting our social values in response to advances in technology.

OTOH, lying, cheating, and betraying those closest to you will never be acceptable. I think we will simply move towards a state where open marriages are much more common.
> It is possible to run Cooja in an emulation mode too (but only for the MSP430 microcontroller) where the user and OS code is completely isolated from the simulator process - much more reliable and easier to find bugs that break the user code, but much, much slower.

Given the speed of the average PC, how can this possibly be an issue? It seems pretty surprising.
I'm genuinely curious about your stance. You would prefer more ads to paying? I thought more tech-savvy people prefer to pay small amounts for apps, so that they are the customer.
