That's not the question at all. The question is whether such heavy regulation causes more harm than benefit. And it probably does.
Seriously, how can that post get -3 karma; why the hate, I have a lot more sympathy for Mr Clueless without backups than this.

The user in question committed his data, his 'life' as he calls it, to a service that is made for mom+pop, without reading the EULA, and he complains?

The guy's a composer and keeps his masters into.... iTunes? Seriously?

He discovers /after the fact/ that his special recording he care so much about has been replaced? Hasn't he tried google, or perhaps do a bit of due diligence about it before committing 120GB of his precious data to a cloud provider?

... To a service that is /meant/ to be able to replace songs automatically? What's not clear about 'automatic'?

Now I don't mean apple is /right/ here, it's very likely done so that apple can sell machines with less flash, for more -or something like that- there's no doubt that there is a reason why they delete the data.. a reason that doesn't need to benefits the user ultimately.

However I don't have a lot of sympathy for that particular user; he comes as someone who should know better.

I'm a mac user since 1984, and I don't use Apple Music, iCloud, or any of these fancy subscription services. I'm also a musician, and a photographer, and it wouldn't cross my mind for a minute to just commit my stuff to a place that might decide the data is 'theirs' in their next update.
They've added value year over year, but the amount of value is lower than I think it would be with proper competition. EA's Soccer game Fifa has competition from Pro Evolution Soccer and the consumer is better off because of it.
Maybe you missed the part where they cared so little about what they were supposed to be enforcing that the link on a federal website dedicated to enforcement was a dead link. That you can use a third-party search engine to find the site is entirely beside the point that you shouldn't have to.
I'm mostly concerned about what my department would do under pressure from publishers and/or the government. Being part of a state university, publicly endorsing illegal actions is unwise on my part. Especially if they undermine the establishment that the school serves.

Start off with lower primitives. In Logo, for instance, have a "draw at pixel" command. Have a way of recording a state. The student can then recreate the notion of pen on/off and pen placement and movement on top of the basic primitive plus a conditional. Pen is moving from A to B, if it's on, it draws along the way, otherwise it just moves. Some challenges with the math involved in movement, but it's solving a linear equation. Minor issue with rounding, perhaps allow the numbers to be floating point and let the renderer handle which pixel to draw. Everything up to the external turtle can be handled in this same way as long as they have the primitives.

Handling hardware, give them primitives to write to and read from devices. Build up the code on top of that to handle more complex situations like manipulating external servos over a serial port.

So, it seems like the main concern here is that a client will not validate the SSL certificate, so the SSL layer is now manually added into javascript code using the WebCrypto API to prevent this? I see not validating SSL certificates being a potential problem with something like a REST API, but is it common to disable SSL verification at the browser level where you would need to use javascript to do this?
A Taste of JavaScript's New Parallel Primitives
There is more to this trade off, because push enables many neat things:

- you can halves the number of DB requests by 2 because refreshing is done by message passing half of the time instead of making a new requets trigerring DB calls.
- cache invalidation is pro-active, and linked to events instead of just time.
- you can have much more live stuff: settings, routing, configuration in general. You only need to load it once from your store, after that, any update is propagated. A CMS becomes cheap.
- making clients talk to each others is easy.
- websocket don't have CORS issues. You client code can query your live site, or a local backend, and synchronize both.
- you can use the same canal of communication between your user clients and internal (micro-services) clients. The architecture becomes simpler.
- if you have a heavy authentication process and complex sessions data, they can now be store with the persistent connection instead of being queried for every request.

Of course, not all that is enabled by default. You need to use some framework such as crossbar.io or meteorjs to get those benefits for free. Yet, it's very sweet.
While we're talking generalities, here's something more serious.

> What has been created by this half century of massive corporate propaganda is what's called "anti-politics". So that anything that goes wrong, you blame the government. Well okay, there's plenty to blame the government about, but the government is the one institution that people can change... the one institution that you can affect without institutional change. That's exactly why all the anger and fear has been directed at the government. The government has a defect - it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect - they're pure tyrannies. So therefore you want to keep corporations invisible, and focus all anger on the government. So if you don't like something, you know, your wages are going down, you blame the government. Not blame the guys in the Fortune 500, because you don't read the Fortune 500. You just read what they tell you in the newspapers... so you don't read about the dazzling profits and the stupendous dizz, and the wages going down and so on, all you know is that the bad government is doing something, so let's get mad at the government.

> For one EA is ~3 times the size of Take Two interactive (parent of parent of 2k sports). Logic would dictate they just out bid on the rights to Madden each and every year.

That is still not an explanation. If Take Two Interactive can make more money off a NFL-licensed game than EA can, then the NFL will go with them; and if EA pays more for the NFL license than EA can make, then they are losing money each year, and potentially an enormous and crippling amount. There is no evidence they are bleeding constantly like you seem to postulate.
And each of those expiries was yet another chance for another video game company to outbid EA. Yet, they did not.

This illustrates a question for my I've been wondering for a while - while each developer on a project should have a good idea of security best practice, is it worth it for each to be an expert in security? I've always felt that there should be a member (or team, depending on project scale) for each project who is a "security expert" and can guide decisions for security best practice. So the developers can be aware that they need to tie in an API key at some point, and the security expert can guide the best way to implement that.
The Model X was a very complex piece of engineering with the falcon doors, the huge windshield glass, self-opening doors, and more. I'm surprised it got up to the multi-thousands in production this last quarter.

They seem to be learning from that and have emphasized the relatively simplistic production of the Model 3. That's going to be the key with this vehicle. It has to be easy to produce so costs can be kept down and error rate is low. They can afford to take things slower with the margin on the Model X, not so much on the Model 3.

Kind of sort of

Any group that sets itself apart and has a burning collective desire to change things is waking the same psychological mechanisms. So is cheering for sports teams. We're a bit more savvy as a culture about harnessing and controlling that in the case of sports. Yet, look at some of the stupid stuff ports fans still can get up to. Just look at history, and it's quite apparent that politics awakens the exact same tendencies, but without the same cultural/societal checks. Hell, just listen to what people say and observe how they start to prejudge and target each other based on surface-level signals.

Sure, but then you consider the undeniably faked proof published on his blog, and now this inability to meet his recent promise to provide real proof today. For someone who actually had Satoshi's keys, all of this is probably more work than just publishing real proof in the first place.

If he was actually the creator of Bitcoin, this is the worst possible way he could convince people of it. That's were the extreme doubt comes from.

What exactly is unacceptable about hoping that an established liar and conman is made to account for his actions? At the very least, getting millions of dollars from fraudulently claimed tax credits is certainly not a trivial issue.

Well, I favor it. Just because it favors Big Tobacco doesn't mean it doesn't simultaneously do some good. Big Tobacco's self interest is, in this case, what I consider to be the general interest.

It was actually incredible to me that e-cigs got away with so little regulation for so long in the first place. The only thing I'm worried about is it's too little, too late: there are a lot of people now who are hooked on nicotine who weren't before, and the constant barrage of marketing claiming they are perfectly safe is only making matters worse.

And yes, I recognize that it possibly has some use in helping smokers quit or move to a nicotine delivery system that is most probably less harmful. If that's the justification for e-cigs, then limit sales to smokers.
As a bank, if you provide an SDK for 3rd party developers to use, you are not in a position to review the app before release. Only Apple/Google gets to see that code.

The proper solution would be either 1) the ability to register 3rd party libraries with apple and require some kind of integrity check before approval (but even then, the 3rd party app could override library methods at runtime), or 2) code signing the binary blob library separately for every 3rd party developer (but then the problem is enforcement of where developers get the library from -- how do you verify SDK integrity from the bank server side?)

The fundamental problem is that, as soon as you give 3rd party developers the ability to natively integrate with your service via an SDK in their own app, you are playing a cat and mouse game.
True. It's something we have to improve.

I write a lot of stuff with the Canvas in general, but it's not great for teaching programming. The Postscript imaging model is again very abstract, complex, and easy to misuse early on. It can be made to work if by setting up a lot of scaffolding up front.

And then there's interfacing the other way around, which the Canvas doesn't help at all with or makes even more complicated. It's somewhat easy to explain an onClick handler for a HTML button; doing a useful onClick handler for a canvas, or body-level onKeyDown handler are again much more complicated affairs.
>Arbitrators must be agreed to by both parties, but companies are the primary repeat customers of arbitrators and will NOT select arbitrators that don't usually and regularly find for them.

Is there any empirical evidence of this? I've done arbitration twice and the arbitrators seemed pretty impartial.

Most people just go with AAA arbitrators, which are well respected.

I've seen my colleges ask for information about potential arbitrators (I'm an lawyer but I don't specialize in arbitration), and never has anyone even suggested that an arbitrator was a company man or anything like that.

We need a low cost alternative to court. Courts apply strict procedural and eventuality rules and engage in broad discovery that really increases the cost of a case. A case costs tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

My biggest problem is that arbitration isn't really all that much cheaper than court in many cases now.

I think it would be interesting to have an online arbitration process for disputes under 10 thousand dollars. Both sides upload a memo arguing their side and attach accompanying documentation and evidence including sworn statements by witnesses. The arbitrator decides if a hearing is needed and if it is they do a video chat hearing.

What type of study are you proposing exactly?

The best data we have at the moment would be records of geologic events that have a strong correlation to earth quakes and seeing how they line up between the two different areas.

People exaggerate this in both directions. Some people do say, inaccurately, that H1B holders are unable to change jobs. Others say that nothing prevents them from doing so. Both are inaccurate, though the also both contain some truth.

H1B holders have some limited job mobility. They typically must find a new corporate sponsor, and if they are also being sponsored for a green card, they will typically need to ensure that the new employer will also assume sponsorship. If they are hoping to get that green card, they would be wise to stick with stable employers. Although it used to be the case that an H1B holder would restart the waiting process with a new green card sponsor, that is no longer the case, so at least that is a mild improvement.

The types of jobs an H1B can move to are also restricted. They can pretty much be an engineer/developer here, there, or even over there, but that's about it. Changing fields, dropping out to be a consultant, starting your own business (whether it's a tech company or a sandwich shop) is pretty much out of the question.

The mobility that does exist helps, but overall, I think the restrictions are severe enough that H1Bs really can't be considered free and full participants in a labor market.

The more cynical side of me sees this as entirely deliberate. A RAND study found that the American aversion to STEM graduate degrees is rational and market-driven. I feel that while dev jobs are ok, there's a lot to dislike about them - open offices, back visibility, scrum meetings that limit autonomy and are misused to apply deadline pressure, often soulless and unfulfilling work. I do think that people who are capable of becoming developers are also capable of finding work they prefer outside the field - provided they are free to do so.

Part of the appeal of the H1B is that it creates a population of workers who are, well, not free to do so. Corporations talk about things like "at will employment", but they'll absolutely lobby government to undermine freedom if freedom doesn't suit them.
There are a lot more people hooked on nicotine than before? Is there evidence you can cite for that? That's a surprising statement.
