That's an 'externality'. Regulations are a pretty good way of dealing with them, even if imperfect. I believe it's good for there to be a more or less continuous debate on the nature and scope of those regulations - too many stifle business and personal liberty, too few can cause problems as well.

This is the sort of law that I thought only existed in sclerotic zero-sum societies: stupid laws that exist to be selectively applied to harass people. Either repeal it or enforce it. Reminds me of the USSR.

Note, just like this "socialist" law, similar "conservative" laws abound. I dislike them too.
> I think we'd certainly see such systems evolve if government restricted itself to just enforcing property rights and contracts.

They will indeed evolve. As the time goes, more and more local regulation would be added, and you will need people doing full time tracking and enforcement of it. Eventually, enough neighborhoods will notice how much similar regulation they have, and agree to outsource that part to be managed by an independent body focused on the issue. They will fund this body by paying a share of their budget, as obviously people doing this work need to live off something.

At this point of course, you get a government.
Sure.

This isn't a change. They've been doing everything they can to reduce tinkerers to consumers ever since the first Mac (with no retail boards, no expansion slots, and a dealer-only case opening tool). Now they assert a degree of control that not even Microsoft at their most ruthless would have dared. It astonishes me that developers were so blasé about this threat (at least the ones whose businesses weren't blown up by capricious last-minute rejections) until they actually saw a price tag on it.
Nice hack to get the old Lifehacker and Gizmodo back:

Works exactly the same for lifehacker. The new design, apart from it's disorienting scrolling behaviour, it's also very inefficient in terms of using screen real estate well. Impossible to quickly scan articles and determine which ones are worth reading. Fortunately you don't even need to see the ugly redesign.

I sometimes wonder how much this relates to listening to music while coding. Sometimes we're banging out code that requires very little planning or thought, and noise or music in the background really doesn't matter.

But sometimes code requires care and craft. In those cases we need not to be distracted by outside noise. Some people achieve this by having known noise/music on their headphones, and they claim they can think and work without a problem.

But are they susceptible to the same kind of inadvertent inattention described here? Can they tell? By definition - no.

I've still not succeeded in tracking down the study referred to in Peopleware where they allegedly tested this. I'd really, really like to see it reproduced.

Or refuted.

> Any examples of these? I can think none. Wanting their cut from stuff sold in their app store for their platform is absolutely fair, IMO.

I haven't been following this too closely yet, but my understanding is that if your app has any kind of content subscription component, regardless of whether you are using itunes billing, you need to make it available in itunes and give Apple their cut. Correct me if my understanding is flawed.

I don't have a problem with Apple taking 30% for distribution, but if they say you can't even release an app unless your content goes through their distribution channel, that's just a huge kick in the nuts for a scrappy content-based company like mine. Honestly, we don't give a shit about Apple's monopoly position, we want to build a great app on the best platform, but Apple is basically saying that they don't want us on their platform unless we also let them do our content distribution, something which directly takes away our core business. If Apple insists on this, then they're basically driving us into the arms of Android, regardless of how inferior it is because 30% is a non-starter.

We use both. SourceForge brings to the table a huge distribution network. Webmin burns terabytes of transfer for millions of downloads every year. I'm not sure github is even in the game on that front, are they? They also host the webmin.com domain, for the time being, which saves us some bandwidth, as well.

But, we never used the VCS at SourceForge, and we barely touch the forums and bug tracker...if we could turn them off, we would.

On this front, I think SourceForge deserves a lot of respect. They've weathered acquisitions, had to find monetization methods, and through it all they've remained dedicated supporters of Open Source. The amount of money and effort they've invested in Open Source development infrastructure is admirable.

It's not beautiful, and it's got a lot of warts...but SF.net has its heart in the right place, which is something github has not yet proven.

I started to write about how Lacy's scenario, whereby Twitter (or its employees) could somehow wind up owing $75MM on $5B in valuation-appreciation, is mightily confused. 'Payroll expenses', after all, are counted in the year equity/options are granted, based on the value/discount at that time. That's reasonably like the way other compensation can be valued. After that point, the interest is transferred to the employee, who later will pay capital gains income taxes, when those gains are recognized (or in some AMT scenarios).

It would be unprecedented, as far as I know, for a company to be liable for taxes on the employee's on-paper-only gains, occurring some arbitrary time later at option-exercise.

And yet: that seems to be what Section 902.1(b) says.

The company is on the hook for payroll taxes on the employee's share appreciation, at the moment of option-exercise. Even if the shares are not even sold for any recognized capital gain. Even if the person is no longer a company employee or resident of San Francisco. Even though the company may have already paid taxes on the then-current grant-value in an earlier year.

I not a tax lawyer but on the surface, this seems insane.
It means, even though they could figure out who is more likely to click on, say, BDSM ads, they don't, because that's how classy they are.

Using social information to wow your prospect with an awesome demo
wait, what?

First, I don't own a single apple product. Thinking back, I don't think I ever have. When I worked at Yahoo they gave me a macbook, and I traded it with one of the Indians when he visited (Yahoo india got HP laptops which run linux, and were kinda okay copies of the thinkpad T series. My boss was okay with it, but Yahoo India made us trade back the next time the guy came to America.)

I'm a linux guy; I don't use flash. Security hazard, you know, if you compromise my workstation, it's damn hard for me to stop you from compromising the systems I admin.

but you know what? that website? works great on chrome in Linux.

Me, I don't like apple any more than you do. I like it less, most likely. I'm extremely unlikely to buy any of their hardware (if nothing else, the macbook keyboards and trackpads just feel /wrong/ somehow. I mean, it's just preference, but they just do not work for me. I've been using ThinkPads with the little eraser head pointers for well over half my life. Not switching now.)

But we can all cheer for the death of flash, that is, if you can do everything you can do in flash with something more open and less buggy.

How Google Can Beat Facebook: No, Its Not on the Web
This is hardly a problem unique to Wikipedia, and no especially workable solutions have been proposed that I’ve seen. If routine members are denied the ability to do things like bring up deletion discussions, just because some of them might get tendentiously caught up in the bureaucracy and thereby lose sight of broader goals, that just makes the process more onerous when it is necessary, which is often.

I think the biggest problem is that the “outsiders” you are generalizing about, at least in your portrayal, are failing to realize that the “insiders” are just a bunch of individual people, and don’t stand for any unified position, conspiratorial or otherwise.

Communicating information to new users, especially ones who make little effort to learn about community norms and practices, is extremely difficult, because there is no way to force them to look at any particular explanation. Even talk page messages lovingly crafted to be as helpful as possible are going to often meet with “What, I have to spend more than 30 seconds figuring out why my changes to an article were deemed a regression? No thanks.”
"Known Vulnerabilities" in the cognitive machine
Part of it is the motivation to return home. I'm Australian, and we've got a fairly intensive customs procedure, but I could care less, I'm an hour or less away from home now.

Visting America was a different story though: I'm getting fingerprinted, and people are jumping queues, and the security is crazy... and all I'm thinking is "Why did I bother?"

Waiting for americans to care enough about the discomfort of vistors (relative to motivation to be there) might take a while.
often cities' homelessness departments are prime locations for employing cronies and operatives

Yeah, that is kinda the dirty little secret of the homelessness "industry". Take Shelter, by far the most well known homelessness charity in the UK. Do they actually run hostels and soup kitchens? Well, actually, and this comes as a surprise to most people, they don't. They just transfer money from their donors to "think-tanks" and well-paid consultants. It's a huge racket, but since they have glommed onto a "worthy cause" they're untouchable.

That's what I am trying to figure too. Two coherent beams with the same frequency, and after adjustment for phase and amplitude, could be made to cancel simply with destructive interference. Maybe this achieves something more, or maybe this does not require amplitude or phase adjustment. I do not know (and possibly do not know enough Physics to follow).
A very thought-provoking notion, indeed.

However, must we take such a pessimistic view of the future data porting/migration methodologies?

> Many of these translations can be lossy.

Agreed to 'can be'.

But, on the contrary, just as they can be lossy, they could be more intelligent or smarter too, leading to not just 'not lossy' migrations, but even to more enriched output.

One quick scenario I can think of, off-hand:

Let us take the example of legacy, (scanned) photographic images. A 'smart' porting tool can add value to such data in at least two ways.

1. Read the date stamp of the original file and superimpose it on the output.

2. Apply face-recognition technology to it and offer (various) option/s to the user to tag/store it in different ways.

Of course, I know that this is just a very small sample of the entire data 'universe', but, as they say at the end of many patent documents:

While the detailed description disclosed above relates to one specific embodiment of the claimed method, it should be evident that the same can be put into practice in any number of different ways, without actually departing from the scope and the spirit of the claimed method. ;-)))

This applies to anything if you define your market tightly enough and "payment processing for iPhone applications" is about as tight a definition as you can get.

If you can define things that tightly how is it different to my going into a shop (for the sake of argument let's make it a shop which sells goods the owner makes and therefore can't be bought elsewhere) which only accepts cash and claiming that they're anti-competitive because they don't accept alternate payment mechanisms?

Unless the iPhone obtained a dominant position in the smartphone market choice exists - you can go elsewhere, as can developers and you can buy (and they can sell) apps from other places and pay or bill in other ways.

That's the market working and that's why anti-trust laws are unlikely to apply under the current circumstances - they're designed to ensure competition and smartphones is a market as competitive as pretty much any on the planet right now.
