The Internet infrastructure which is not free, the hosting of Internet content which is also not free, the content which can be free when the content owner waives their rights. To get free "Internet" infrastructure and content someone has to pay for it and waive that in exchange for something. It's not free you are not entitled to free end of story.

I make 2 compromises in my open source software work in order to keep up with all the projects I start and at least do a decent job maintaining some of it:

1. I don't support old stuff. No old operating systems, no old dependencies, no old compilers, etc. The answer to all support requests of the sort is "sorry, I don't have the time or funding to support versions below XYZ."

2. I'm not afraid to roll the major version number of my software. If I make a design mistake, I fix it without regard for backward compatibility, and then I don't support older versions.

These two things really make a big difference in lowering the difficulty of support without compromising the quality of at least the latest version of code. And if the users are using the latest version of everything and need support, great! They probably have such a similar environment to my own that I'll have no problem reproducing their issues.

Getinsights – Free Online Survey Tool
We have recently launched a consumer insights platform which combines an online survey tool with a 8 million audience in India. We are hoping to make this a one-stop destination where brands and apps can create surveys & launch the surveys to the audience panel to get quick & accurate results within a few minutes. It also supports in app feedback making it a powerful tool for apps. The app is live at https://getinsights.co/ . We have a freemium model and we would love to get feedback on the tool, its functionality and the UX.

My comment may not be a persuasive argument, but either is yours. Where are your facts? Your referenced points? You state just as much opinion as I do.

So, let's go through a quick run-down of the 'major' pharmaceutical companies of the world, and where they are headquartered.

Company Revenue (USD) Headquarters

Novartis 53.6 Bn Switzerland

Roche 47.8 Bn Switzerland

Sanofi 36.9 Bn France

GSK 34.9 Bn UK

AstraZeneca 26 Bn UK/Sweden

Bayer 43.4 bn Germany

Baxter 15.3bn US

Pfizer 49 Bn US

Merck 42.23 Bn US

BMS 18.8 bn US

So, 4 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies by revenue are headquartered in the US.
By Revenue, those 4 account for 125.3 Bn out of a pie of 367.9 Bn; or 34%.

It is not easy to get a list of the number of drugs under clinical trial, or the number of drugs that were recently brought to market by various manufacturers; and, as a side matter, a number of the more innovative drugs brought to market recently were all developed by small pharmaceutical companies (Boceprevir, Telaprevir, Imatinib, Ipilumimab) that were later acquired by the big boys. So a small pharma company did the innovating, usually funded by a university or the product of particuarly profound insights by PhD students; turned into successful drugs; run through to the stage 3 trial stage and then, once all the development costs are done and dusted, acquired for a discount price of the predicted future revenue stream

So tell me, where are all the drugs being developed by america? I would say the rest of the world is more than pulling it's weight. In fact, given rough population parity between the European first world and the United states, it could in fact be argued that the United states is not pulling it's weight.

I await your reasoned response
Depends on the corporation. The tech industry tends to be pretty good about using patents defensively, but there are notable exceptions. For example, Akamai has built a reputation of suing every new startup that enters the CDN space for patent infringement (Limelight, Speedera, Cotendo, etc). Ask any VC in the valley to fund your CDN biz and they'll ask you what your patent portfolio looks like and how big of a war chest you're building to fight the inevitable lawsuits.
If you write it they will complain too.

The article isn't so much about end-users who will complain as much as it is about properly designed software systems as much as it is about in-house and ad-hoc created solutions that are not much more than cobbled together glue.

> Considering that it can take a SaaS company several years just to build an MVP

That's a pretty bad MVP then. Usually it takes a lot shorter than that, even for a fairly complex MVP.

And why limit the comparison to SAAS, there are pretty good reasons why companies may decide not to hop on the SAAS bandwagon that have nothing to do with not-invented-here, it may simply be that they are concerned with the privacy of their users, with the degree of integration that they can provide and with the dependency on an outside party for a (possibly) critical part of their business. They also may not like to leak information that is sensitive to the company or the end-users to third parties only covered by an SLA and not much insight into the design parameters and the degree of care for detail.

A better comparison would be between a piece of closed source off-the-shelf software or a piece of bespoke software created by outsiders but hosted by the company, preferably one for a fixed price to create and a monthly fee to maintain.

Ad-hoc glue stuff is usually extremely fragile (because any changes in the underlying software will break it), uses all kinds of interfaces intended for humans rather than proper APIs and is hard to maintain because of that.

TL;DR; Stuff I build is fragile, therefore you should use SAAS.

A pre-emption mechanism would be able receive the message and respond. At the very least a response of "I'm busy" is better than no response that could be for any number of reasons.

Shared data structures would enable this, and while you may not think they are very nice, I would prefer a not very nice solution to no solution whatsoever. I have seen discussions on various mailing that indicate that shared data structures will be implemented in some manner.

Look at the example number crunching worker given in the spec.

var n = 1;
search: while (true) {
n += 1;
for (var i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(n); i += 1)
if (n % i == 0)
continue search;
// found a prime!
postMessage(n);
}

How would you implement this worker in such a way that the host page could call

worker.postMessage( {"command": "startfrom", "value" : 131071} );

to get the prime calculator change it's search point?

Any truly intelligent AI would probably be smart enough to understand what we mean with our words. The issue is that there is no reason it would care.

Computer programs don't care about anything inherently. Assuming people created programs with the ability to "know what we meant", the sensible thing would be to program them to care primarily about "doing what we mean".

It seems like more or less an an anthropomorphization-driven illusion to believe that attaining "human intelligence" cause a machine to have all the unpredictable self-interesting-seek behaviors of humans.

In the same way that if an alien showed up and started giving you orders, you wouldn't really care, even if you deciphered his language and figured out what he meant.

Missing Engagement
That's not the reason.

As I understand it, the GIL is an implementation detail of certain interpreters that prevents threads from running on multiple OS threads (and thus multiple CPUs).

JavaScript has explicitly chosen not to support preemptive multithreading at all (aside from Web Workers which don't share memory), while Ruby and Python do have it, even if it can't fully utilize multicore processors.
Except that pretty much any measure of market-rate is likely to be biased. From the FED's estimates biased up to rental sites biased down.
That doesn't eliminate the possibility of pre-emption though does it?

A theoretical version of setTimeout that triggered immediately suspending the active code and executing the timeout function then resuming (or potentially not).

That only requires the interpretor to execute one piece of code at a time. The notions of thread safety would apply to the interpreted code, but not to the interpretor itself.

This single hacker says his motives were political, and that he is not happy about Turkey's ongoing involvement with the ISIS. Did he expect the visitors to websites in the .tr domain to infer this crucial piece of information on their own? How can you effectively protest with an attack, if the purpose of the attack is not made clear to the public.
IMO, the Anonymous video (even if it falsely claims responsibility) was much needed in this situation, assuming that the end goal is to raise awareness and mobilize people against the ISIS and its supporters.

What I love about the evolution (having started with python myself) is, that it not only does that for python anymore, but for a plethora of other languages as well.

So it helps me for example develop ideas in python, as well as in R, what I am learning a little bit right now.
Thermal and wire-length constraints drive optimization toward that particular configuration.

For instance if you're going to make a highly connected multiple-cpu computer it helps to keep the wiring as short as possible and the 'hot' parts on the outside (so they can cool). The most striking example of this design is the old CRAY machines.

> I wish GitHub had a proper UI for deprecating/abandoning projects

As we see from OP, it's really hard to admit that you don't have time for your own project. Ideally, inactive maintainers will let go and give push right to whoever is working on their project. But more often, maintainers simply stop being active. This discourages contributors from even submitting bugfixes because the users won't profit from their work. (I've once seen a project with 3 forks, each containing a slightly different commit fixing the same bug.)

It would help much already if GitHub displayed a prominent notice "the activity on the project you're looking at is very low, but fork A and fork B both have higher recent activity".

Something like a compact summary of the network graph. (The network graph is great, but has too much whitespace and requires too much scrolling to get an overview. Especially if there are 30 forks of people just committing one local hack or config file.)

If Google used Apache Harmony, the ones implementing it where Apache Foundation. Why Oracle didn't sue Apache?

> First, it applies only to language-level APIs; not REST protocols, recently also referred to as APIs. This is not open to interpretation. Web "APIs" are not copyrightable for completely other reasons, reasons which are impossible (as much as anything in law is impossible) to argue against.

And exactly why is different? The ruling talks about API and API's has nothing to do with being a language level API or a "web API".

As far as I know, the appeal court ruled that the fair use question must be decided in the forthcoming case, nothing more. As any other copyright case

You have to make your case why only applies to lkevel language API's

No, it has to go to court so yes, any player must be concerned
I think this is a HUGE problem as well. I'm building Playa, and one of my big goals is to develop an open and friendly hacker ecosystem around next gen IoT/IoE/Robotics. Hopefully as I develop the platform I can raise more awareness and crowdfund appliances people actually want to build on.
But most successful USA services are successful world wide. China is a 1.3 billion market vs. 6 billion non China market. WeChat will never be as popular as Facebook.
The source of the problem I see here is not the IoT. It is the missing regulation, that forces companies to develop open standards and enable the so inclined to hack themselves to find security wholes or what not.

And most of all to make sure, that they can easily switch vendors, because all devices are able to talk to each other.

If I today chose one vendor to make my heating at home smarter, I am stuck with this vendor, even if others provide better interfaces or tools in the future.

This cripples user friendly innovation and what not.

So, because governments do not (or do not want to) understand (be it on their own or because of lobbying), we as customers are facing a very grim looking IoT. At least, if I try to look into the future.
That is how sci-fi works. You make a few assumptions and work from there, exploring their consequences.
I am not going to get sucked into Scientology or any other organised religion, but I expect consistency from governments. I find it despicable that governments get to pick and choose which insidious organizations get their blessing. Of course it is a religion, more or less as bad as any other. Either support religious freedom, or don't, but picking your favorites is something for individuals to do not governments.
I agree whole heartedly. My most loathed feedback is "What's the use case?".

I have done a lot of odd projects, (A JavaScript desktop amnong them) and have hit this same "Why" "What's it good for" etc.

I find it difficult so to fathom how people can look at things and see nothing of value. Sure I can think how something could be done differently, possibly better even. There's always some value, practical, aesthetical, inspirational, insightful or even inciteful.
You know, you seem pretty out of touch.

You are comparing something free with a service that costs "couple of $100 bucks", more specifically $400/year for a subscription. If $400 is so little to you that you can just toss it aside that's all well and good, but that is not the case for a lot of people.. most of whom the subject of this post is aimed.
Examiners do cite non-patent literature (NPL), and yes they can trust Google. I have seen rejections that literally have a screen-cap of Google search results.

But yes, NPL is rarer than patent prior art citations ("Determinants of Patent Quality" by Bhaven Sampat is one study that has some numbers). This is primarily because patents are already authored, classified and organized in a way that examiners can easily search, so they typically find the necessary "ammo" they need to make a rejection more quickly there.

I never said there weren't other elements, only that it took little more than rounded corners. The complaint uses a lot of words to say very little, as there sure aren't many solid lines other than those rounded corners when you look at the patent. Note that the dashed lines aren't counted. And this minimalist design is apparently worth nearly $1 billion, something I simply don't agree with at all.

Interesting thing from the PDF:

"At this point, it should also be stressed, that if you have already purchased a Skylake processor, you likely
did not get an SGX-compatible part. In an incredible, pretty non-talked about snafu, only Skylake parts
after October 26th, at the earliest will have SGX enabled, and you’re likely to be able to buy them only
after November 30th.

These parts have a different “S-part” number, but otherwise have the same CPUID, Stepping, Model
Numbers, etc. Manufacturers are free to interchangeably sell you whichever part they have in stock,
without any recourse to you, the buyer. You can read Intel’s Product Change Notification (Intel, 2015) to
see which parts you should attempt to buy, if your vendor will let you verify this information before
buying.

Worse, even if you end up getting a compatible S-part processor, your BIOS must still be updated to set
the appropriate enable bit in the IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL (0000`003Ah) MSR, in this case the SGX
Global Enable Bit (18) and your BIOS must additionally reserve a region of RAM for SGX use."
