> Can I write and sell software that reads and writes DNG format without having to sign an agreement or pay Adobe money?

I believe the answer is: yes, you can. The DNG patent license is here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html

You do not need to "sign anything" or "pay Adobe money" to make use of it. It's no different (in terms of usage) than someone open sourcing API documentation with an Apache license (or whatever).
There are also other new things that Elon has mentioned he would likely do after Tesla, with building an example hyperloop being one.
I'd love to see more effort to encourage laypeople to use and ask for IPv6. Imagine if instead of Microsoft and Sony inventing terms like "strict NAT" vs "open NAT" for how their gaming consoles describe network issues, they had those consoles inform their users that they can't host a game because their ISP doesn't provide IPv6 connectivity.
It'll work fine; you just need long exposure times.

Of course, taking pictures of something in motion will be harder.

Suffering doesn't matter to dead things. If you're going to kill something, how much it suffered will be irrelevant the second it dies.

The problem with suffering is not that it has the magical quality of being called 'suffering'. The problem with suffering is that it results in poor decision-making. This means two things:

1. For an individual, death does much more to reduce decision-making ability than suffering.

2. Animals don't usually make good decisions regardless. Especially if they were raised to be slaughtered.

I strongly encourage everyone who is interested in this to carve out some time to read the old scanned newspapers at https://news.google.com/newspapers Pick a time range, then follow along reading the paper in a kind of "this day in history" fashion from a variety of papers from the west to midwest to east coast, not just to see what was important then, but how accounts changed.

It is fascinating to read accounts from 120-150 years ago. These kind of "classifieds" are cool too--"situation wanted" ads where single women are seeking domestic employment, and cases where men are looking for odd jobs. And then reading about the accidents--deaths from train incidents, boiler explosions, freak deaths. It's easy to get lost in a different time while seeing connections to media and what interested people then and now.

I finally figured how Dr. Stroustrup can always make C++ seem like not only a reasonable thing, but probably the best possible one. He has chosen a number of goals that, while being reasonable and desirable individually, each tend to complicate the realization of all the others. Consequently, for any of the complications of the language, he can pick a couple of goals and show that they make the complication unavoidable.

Most forms of socialism are entirely compatible with private enterprise. Totalitarian media and production control like the Soviets used, yeah, that's different.
It's getting there, though.. give it a couple more years. Especially with things like Nikon's Snapbridge, which is very buggy right now, but the direction is right.
It sounds like the dual lense plus is a game changer.

Sensors capture light. Lenses can be entirely virtualized in software. Whenever very large sensors become cost effective I'm sure smartphone cameras will all be "lightfield" cameras and there will be no more lense bulge.

I'm under the impression that it's exporting the American civil religion worldwide. The idea that people genuinely are different, with radically different cultures and alien values is not one most people get. Witness the Iraq war or the Libya debacle and the assumption that everyone, everywhere really, really wants to have a Western democracy and that it will happen automatically if the Big Bad (Saddam, Qaddafi) is removed. It's like how Americans don't understand that people from other Anglophone countries don't have a taboo reaction to people saying nigger. Facebook assumes American culture is the universal culture and act to make that true.

I really like Patrick's work, and I have learnt a lot from it. I wish him the best for his employment at Stripe.

But I am going to ask all of you to tread carefully when taking advice from well-intentioned experts. Over a period of 9 or so years, Patrick went from expressing opinions about a) why desktop software is still viable b) why web based is a better option than desktop because desktop causes too many pains c) why doing a SaaS model is better than the one time web based software (web version of BCC) d) why it may not be worth the stress of (some stressful event associated with clients in medical industry) for a SaaS which is generating less than $2000 MRR e) why a business like StarFighter is better because you feel like waking up and doing it for 5+ years in a row and f) eventually there will be a good reason for the decision to leave/stop Starfighter. Amongst these opinions, there would be two kinds of takeaway messages - the ones which are true independent of the specific time period (don't piss off your customer) vs the ones which are more subjective and epoch specific - e.g. Patrick's own admission of benefiting from AdSense (via the Content Network or some such thing) for BCC, which was probably not true by the time it was expressed publicly and is almost certainly not true today.

There is almost positively going to be a fair amount of time lag before these ideas germinate in the experts' head and they slowly turn into action in their lives, and by the time they are ready to write about it, sometimes they are close to the winding down phase of said idea. For the people who are keen to "follow suit", as they say, it is very hard to know if it is a good idea to invest the next 3-5 years of your lives trying to adopt the same idea.

This is all fine and obvious, you say. My concern has to do with the "other side" of the picture. When people were lavishing praise on the SaaS model about 3-4 years ago, I suppose I wasn't the only one who wondered "Wait a minute. What about the fact that a SaaS business takes up your mind space 24 x 7 x 365? Isn't that a cost most of us don't wish to pay?" And after a while, Patrick mentions in a MicroConf talk about doing an eBook or WP plugin first before embarking on a SaaS - all great advice. Just wish more people consider the balancing forces and always ask themselves whether they are getting the full picture.
You keep calling them "late" without explaining how or why. What key metrics would you look for to dub them 'not late'? How are the Ubers and Googles of the world doing in comparison? You may be right, but I want specifics.

The point is to disenfranchise them, because they should not exercise power.

If it's about "voicing their opinion", cool, they can say what they want, even in a non-election year. The thing about an "election", though, in the current regime, is that it imposes consequences on other people. If you just want civic ritual and a mascot to cheer for, turn on ESPN.

I am glad someone else is mentioning this; I have come to the same conclusion regarding non corporate software development a few years ago. It could potentially help, as well, closed source software, where the price would fluctuate (downward) depending on the number of initial buyers, so as not to inflate artificially the value of the product because of very sudden spike in popularity. Just a thought.
I understand. But how do we know the real cost when the country we are talking about is China? Even in transparent economies like the EU, you find convoluted ways to subsidize companies (or convoluted ways to accuse companies of receiving subsidies - depending where you stand in these issues)
I could actually see it happening if there was another strong recession before Tesla got bigger. Aside from that, no.

It's a fair question. For me (consulting for 10+ years; currently negotiating the sale of my business which will likely shift me closer to an 'employee' situation):

Ultimately, the consulting business model for individuals or small teams sucks. You're only ever as good as next month, and juggling the sales v delivery cycles is hard, especially if sales/people doesn't excite you. (When you're charging $30K for the week, you can't bugger off for an hour to have a sales meeting.)

Consulting businesses can be scaled, but the dependence on finding the right, skilled people is harder than developing scalable product or software businesses - especially if, like Patrick, you have those skills.

I would prefer to allow plus, dot, hyphen, underscore, and alphanumeric characters in the local part and probably not much of anything else.

I prefer this because I work in a world where email addresses are provided to me, and possibly stored and then retrieved and used and even displayed, as text, and the RFCs allow some nightmarish things when you consider the interaction of the syntax the RFCs permit and the set of characters which are sensitive to one or more of the non-MTA components of that chain.

Your original example, for instance, contains characters that require escaping or at least careful handling for multiple situations, and even goes so far as to contain things that will be interpreted as escape sequences in some contexts. I'm sure that Robert(';DROP TABLE users;)(<script type="text/javascript">alert("Bobby Tables")</script>)@not.a.hacker(honest) will be terribly disappointed to know that he needs to use a different address to register on my site.

The overdraft thing was actually a shift in topic; in the event of a non-fraudulent charge that is reversed by the merchant things like that can happen (with me, it was an airplane ticket where the airline rep messed up, did a refund and charged the correct flight all on one phone call), when the two charges go through before the refund (even if they all post in the same business day), there is an overdraft charge and Chase refused to refund it.

The point was that my experience with Chase sans fraudulent charges makes me believe that it would take months to see the money in the days before it was illegal for them to do so.

Since you mentioned Citibank, I've never banked with them, but I did have a visa with them back in college. I was young so only had the card for 18 months, but I'd never had a single late payment when a bill got put in the wrong mailbox in my dorm. By the time I got it, it was 2 days before it was due. I called up Citi (2 days before the due date) and asked them if they could waive the late fee/interest provided it was posted the following day. The answer was no and they had an additional fee (which they also wouldn't waive) for doing a bank transfer, which would save me from the late fee. I told the I'd do that and to please close the account. Asking to close the account got me to talk to his manager, but they didn't bend on any of the fees.

I've had much better customer experience with credit cards from Discover, American Express and (somewhat ironically given my banking story) Chase.

With all due respect but this is the first time I've heard of Seafile, probably because Seafile isn't for consumers [1], SpiderOak is primarily a backup solution that learned to do sync, with its client implementations being weird, ugly and featureless and while I never tried Mega, I really don't think anybody sane can trust Kim Dotcom's Mega with any important files.

As anecdote I have zero acquaintances using any of these. Mainstream are Dropbox, Google Drive, Box.com, Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud and Amazon Drive. That's already Top 6 and combined they probably cover more than 98% of marketshare.

I did; if that's your opinion, then it seems like you're trying to have it both ways:

On the one hand, you recognize all the subtle implications that are supposed to flow between the details ("dresses like a sexy librarian -> is prepared to handle inappropriate advances"), and praise how they liven the text, and how it is "the entire point" of the medium.

But on the other hand, you're acting like there's some iron law that says the "sexy librarian" description can't possibly sexualize someone, and it's unthinkable that anyone would make that connection, since after all, it has exactly one standard, official meaning, and the robotic readers would never connect it with anything else.

If long-form is all about building up the big picture, why are those implications not part of that picture?

Apple realizes smartphone development has stagnated industry-wide. Rumors are that they have gone from a 2 year iPhone refresh to 3. I think it's obvious Apple has failed to innovate on 6s and 7 iPhones. This could be a downturn for the company, with a lack of product leadership. The only way this innovation gap could bounce back to growth is if product leadership has refocused to unannounced future products. Self driving cars and wearable technologies would be candidates for markets that could make meaningful impact on Apple's bottom line.
This is so cool. I'd love to swap notes sometime; as you know, I did pretty much the same thing for Matasano, which is why we started this company.

This article misses the fact that aside from the small lens/small sensor issue, smartphones have shitty camera ergonomics. Yes, they're great people who want a point and shoot at all times with them, but I doubt they will replace cameras. Displace cameras and disrupt the camera market they will, as the have done with the PC market. Still, you need a PC, Mac or laptop to do real work (programing, office, photo and video editing etc.). Phones and tablets are more suited and used for proof reading. You still need a camera to do any sort of professional photography efficiently. Camera and photography enthusiasts will also continue to buy cameras. Yes, everyone will now be able to shoot and share professional looking photos with the new iPhone. Cool.
Lytro cameras use lenses, too. In fact they use a huge number of micro lenses (in addition to larger traditional lenses) to capture the "light field".

"Very large sensors" also seems to means something different to you than it does to me. I would not want a full frame sensor (which I would only consider large, not even "very large") on my phone even if it were cost effective and didn't require a large lens.

Review of Instaazon JVZoo Hot Selling Amazon Software Tool
Obviously I'm expressing an opinion here. One metric is talent availability. Uber has already hired the available talent. They hired half of CMUs robotics department - presumably with juicy stock options. Apple, being a large public company, isn't in the same position to offer such incentives to lure away the talent. The other metric is data. Uber and to a lesser degree Tesla have been accumulating data for some time. This business is all about talent and data.

I'll also add that this is a service economy, and while Apple get accolades for their physical products, even Apple fans say that their service offerings kind of suck.

Around a decade ago when I was an Apple intern (pre-iPhone) we got to go to a Q&A session with Steve Jobs. One of the questions was something like "What other products do you think are badly designed / could be improved?" and I remember him mentioning two products, phones and cars specifically. I don't really have any idea what Apple plans to do there either, but at least the interest there probably isn't new...
