I don't think incorporation was the mistake here, but rather incorporating with no help and without knowing what you're really doing is. I recently incorporated using harvard business services, for $300 I had everything taken care of for me and had all the paperwork in 2 days, well worth the money.
This is what I wrote to force myself to learn Python: https://github.com/rofrankel/mingal
The article assumes that a functioning judicial and investigative system exists which can help you in a reasonable amount of time. If that were the case, bribery wouldn't have become so rampant in the first place.

How is one supposed to show evidence of wrongdoing? What keeps the government official from exercising his powers and punishing the reporter in the future?

The Coolest DVD  Website--Collectcheaps
Just use an RSS reader and do some data processing. It's a small price to pay when the content (listings) come free. I think we begin to take that for granted, and start to get upset when our free cake isn't ALSO 6 tiers and made of exotic Swiss chocolates.

Sure, a tool that requires skillful end-users isn't one destined for great things and world domination (example: emacs) but that doesn't mean it has no value.
From the article:

Finally, Basu's suggestion applies only to one type of bribe: When someone has to pay a bribe to receive something they are legally entitled to receive. Basu makes it clear that it should still be illegal to pay other types of bribes. So, for example, it would still be illegal for a big company to pay a bribe to win a government contract.
Sorry, I meant to convey the idea of Macs often being fashion statements. All the cool, hip kids use it to build their social coupon webapp weekend startup from a coworking space in RoR with a NoSQL backend while listening to indie rock.
Umm... I thought it was a pretty good introductory article, listing well-known and uncontroversial stuff. Yes, a polynomial algorithm might not be actually practical. Everybody knows this, and pointing it out every time P=NP comes up is bordering on cliche. Yes, NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems can have easy instances in practice. Why is that a reason for outrage?
Despite these disruptions, the company is unparalleled from a profit-per-employee perspective. Craiglist's network effect may have reached its limit, but the company will continue to make huge profits. They clearly favor maintenance over product development, but that doesn't diminish their status as a profit-per-employee anomaly.
> but when you're deploying to Linux, it makes an awful lot of sense to be developing on the same platform.

True, but he goes on to say the company he accepted deploys to Linux but develops on Macs. Huh?
Anyone got a request for this serie ?
If they bring in a better notification system and lock screen, that itself would be a good enough reason for me to upgrade to iOS5/iPhone5.

The writer's on crack though, if he thinks Apple is going to reverse their decision about sideloading 3rd party apps or integrating Gmail features into the mail client.
The graph is US traffic only and they peaked at 16.6% of the entire US population visiting the site once a month. Google called this the "law of large numbers" in 2006 when they predicted a slowing in their growth and Microsoft did the same a long time ago when they hit saturation.

The drop is only during the last 6 months, is less than 10% and could be a variety of factors including a stats gathering quirk, recession, etc.

gross margin is unquestionably the metric used to gauge software companies. That's why we are so scalable. Especially SaaS. It's because our COGS are typically so low that we can afford relatively large R&D budgets (compared to other industries).

Lots of software companies have gross margin's north of 60% or even 80% (GOOG, afaik) which is unheard of in other industries.

If you focus your business on growing revenue and having a reasonable gross profit margin, you are focusing on the right knobs. If you are focusing on decreasing R&D as a means of maximizing net profit, you are focused on the wrong things.

No, your mom's on facebook because her friends and family are posting photos and comments about their lives on facebook.

So in a sense, it is "just" a simplified blogging platform with strong social connections between people that makes it so popular.
If you're just coding higher level stuff
in php or python or perl, you're unlikely
to get bitten by MacOS/Linux differences,
but the same can be said for (an appropriately
set up) Windows development machine.

If you're tuning databases or hacking
middleware or performance tuning your NoSQL
backend or in memory cache, you really need
to be doing that on the closest you can get
to the deployment platform.

Even if you are running the same OS on your development machine that you are running on your deployment target, you likely aren't going to be able to do that performance tuning on your development machine because the hardware is likely to be too different. The server is likely to have a different amount of memory, cache, number of cores, and an I/O system with significantly different performance characteristics.

A number of employees within RSA do sign their emails. But there is this weird issue where you can only setup email signatures if you're a full time employee of RSA, not a contractor. But most do sign their emails.

What surprises me is Poison Ivy, we were on the EMC network which was quite highly restricted, with all ports blocked apart from 80 and 443, even ssh was blocked over 443. So this method of using Poison Ivy would've had to have been on a popular site which was whitelisted which included most if not all of the social networking websites and online email. Not sure how data was "ftped" since that is also blocked.
If you already know the basics of programming and have any interest in web development, give a framework like Flask or Django a try. Neither of those really obfuscate Python much and both have great documentation. Even if you're not into web development, I would still recommend looking into a web framework, just to learn a bit about MVC if nothing else.
Quantum of Deployment
IANAL and this is probably bad advice, but...

You can let the company fall into bad standing.

I have heard of the various risks with doing that, and I've never understood how those risks go away with dissolution.

If the company is shutdown and not making money, then failure to file annual reports and tax returns is irrelevant because you will have no income to be taxed or fined against. You would have annual state filing fees that would go unpaid, but you would never be personally liable for them. And I can't imagine how you would be personally liable for the actions or inactions of a corporation that conducted no business.

I've been wanting to try my hand at developing webapps as well and, like you, will be learning jQuery. What resources did you find most helpful while learning the language? I know the jQuery website itself has some tutorials, but if you have any personal suggestions, I'd be very much obliged.
I know about rerere, this is about taking the guesswork out of that initial resolution and making it more logical, especially when merging someone else's code.

I read both this article and his previous of where he created a company with 10,000,000 shares initially. This is why it cost him so much to dissolve the company. If he knew what he was doing he would have created far less shares, like 1500 total.

Transparent cash grab website.

Interesting site concept though.

I bet they make a ton of money. Just slap 5 minutes worth of writing on hundreds of "top ten" list of audiobooks and then harvest referrals.

Oh, and don't forget to submit your "articles" to contextually relevant social networking sites.

Easy money I guess.
Although not tech news blogs, I find Chris Dixon (http://cdixon.org) and Mark Suster's (http://bothsidesofthetable.com/) blogs very insightful. You should also check out Suster's weekly video podcast, This Week in Venture Capital (http://thisweekin.com/thisweekin-venture-capital/). Even better, imo, is Jason Calacanis' This Week in Startups (http://thisweekin.com/thisweekin-startups/).
You can actually do that with Fabric, too.

I've thought about this and asked around. I was told that if I did not pay my tax returns and annual reports, the State of Delaware can go after me personally. I'd rather not risk that, and there is a monthly fee that gathers up if I don't pay the annual reports on time; which is what happened this time around.
Right on. I've met some new grads who are absolutely amazing at what they do and someone with 10-15 years on them isn't going to do it better always.
The last paragraph of the article was inspiring. What you say in (2) is nonsense.

Look at it this way: there are lots of examples when someone sought out to solve one problem and ended up solving another or discovering a new problem -- of which is orthogonal to the original problem.

The author was just conveying the field of complexity has grown tremendously from the nature of this problem being so intractable. See Prof. Papadimitriou et al book Combinatorial Complexity as one example that I'm familiar with.

ASIDE: Also for me, I find the discovery of new problems more exhilarating than the solving established problems via new techniques.
Except for the ones that blew up and sank, all of our other platforms didn't blow up and sink. Here's your bonus.

Sadly, this article came out 1 day too late.
I've learned that 10,000,000 shares is fine if you have a low par-value per stock. I believe this many stocks are especially good if you're looking for outside investors/board members.

But actually, don't listen to me, I'm the one whose in this ridiculous mess.
It takes about 3 months to pay off a $1200 - $1600 mining machine, nearly 4 if you have to pay for electricity. That all assumes the market stays in it's current state for that whole time. Highly unlikely.
If you're not willing to use CPAN, there is no point in using Perl.

(Incidentally, have you ever read code.py? Very inflexible and largely useless except for the exact purpose it's implemented for, a terminal-based REPL with no history or tab completion.

I needed to write something like this:

https://github.com/jrockway/stylish-perl

for Python, and simply couldn't do it without a clever AST rewrite, which added the equivalent of __result__ = <whatever they typed in that can be an rvalue>. Then it was all easy, although it still doesn't quite work right (but I feel if I knew what I was doing and cared, it could be fixed).

As to why stylish-python is not on Github; I wrote it for "work Python" instead of real Python. Yes, we have a fork of Python 2.6 that uses an internally-developed Redis clone to store the source code instead of files. This was not my idea and I did not write any of the code :) (Writing your own database and your own IDE is a lot more fun than writing ETL code, I guess.)

Also, with respect to repr vs. Data::Dump::Streamer, I'll just paste the following REPL sessions:

[~] 0 (jon@snowball2)
$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> repr(lambda (x): return x)
'<function <lambda> at 0x7f6103dda668>'
>>>

[~] 0 (jon@snowball2)
$ re.pl

$ sub { my $x = shift; return $x }
$CODE1 = sub {
package Devel::REPL::Plugin::Packages::DefaultScratchpad;
use warnings;
use strict 'refs';
my $x = shift @_;
return $x;
};

Note how DDS can represent all of Perl's data structures, not just some of them. You now know that you have the identity function instead of a function at memory address 0x7f6103dda668. I guess Python programmers don't care because everything has a name.

Also, with re.pl, you can do this later on in your session:

$ $CODE1->(42)
42

That lambda you typed in in the python shell is gone forever, which IMHO defeats the purpose of having a REPL.

I think the biggest fallacy of all of these articles is that people don't seem to give any thought to the fact that they only see updates from a handful of people. The reason why that is, is because FB has algorithms to figure out who you are talking to most of the time, and basically only shows updates form people who you talk to, or people whose profile you have visited. I deduced this by myself over a year ago, and recently I was watching some interviews with Sean Parker and he was actually talking about this.

So it's just like in real life, the way you have good friends with whom you talk a lot, and just friends you talk to every once in a while, FB does the same thing.
I would think everyone would know this by now, but amazingly they don't.

I remember long ago interviewing a fellow. I asked him why he wanted to work for my employer. He answered that he wanted someone to pay for his move to Seattle where he could go skiing. People can be astonishingly dumb sometimes.

Yes, and I did and still do many astonishingly dumb things.
It sounds like Franchise Tax associated with annual returns is payable by the corporation, not you personally.

From 8 Delaware Code §503: "All corporations accepting the provisions of the Constitution of this State and coming under Chapter 1 of this title, and all corporations which have heretofore filed or may hereafter file a certificate of incorporation under said chapter, shall pay ...". http://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c005/index.shtml

It is 8 Delaware Code §277 (http://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc10/index.shtml) which says that Franchise taxes have to be paid by the corporation before the Corporation can be dissolved.

It sounds like the corporation is behind on franchise tax, and so is therefore insolvent - it has liabilities exceeding the assets.

If the corporation simply doesn't pay the franchise taxes for a year, the charter will be repealed (see 8 Del C. § 511, http://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c005/index.shtml). Expect to lose all assets owned by the corporation, including any code.

IANAL, but I suggest you get advice from a lawyer or accountant about this.
Apple knows about these apps and exploits (and various other exploits), yet they do little to get rid of them. Apps like these should be prohibited by the guidelines. Nobody needs hundreds of apps that serve absolutely no purpose at all besides attempt to scam people out of 99¢.

Apple doesn't do much about them because the issues aren't in the public eye and from the media's perspective, they're not very newsworthy so I doubt much will change along these lines. It's not like these are new issues by any stretch of the imagination.

So yeah, while this does hurt us devs to some extent, it has little negative effect on Apple, IMO.
The nickname is just part of his charm.
Not sure this works in all cases. This will work assuming you have money to pay the bribe in the first place. There is no way to protect you from getting asked for a bribe (that you cannot pay).
Totally agree. It would be unfortunate if anyone takes away from this that incorporating is a bad idea. What is a bad idea is incorporating with no idea of what you're doing. I disagree that this is a story of dissolution. It is a story of having incorporated with no understanding of the consequences, and finding out too late that he should have sought legal advice to begin with.

There is a lot of talk online about Delaware being the best state for incorporation. This is true if you are seeking outside financing, and most angels/VC's want to see a Delaware C Corp prior to investing. However, if you are going to raise investment, you need to have a lawyer anyway. So at the point you take investment, your lawyer can handle doing an incorporation in Delaware. No one should be filing for C-corporation status by themselves, with no background in the legal requirements.

In the meantime, if you are a startup who wants to put out a product for public use, or need to bring aboard paying customers of any kind, you should probably have an LLC. These are relatively cheap to create (and dissolve) and you can generally find law firms who will do pro bono work for startups in filing the appropriate paperwork (I have found several). Even LLCs require operating agreements and other paperwork before they are considered true legal entities. Any decent law firm does this all the time, and has the appropriate documents on file. Doing this yourself is again asking for trouble. For example, if you do business on behalf of your LLC as the "CEO", "President", or "General Manager", and have not specified that title in an operating agreement, you may be at risk of having the veil pierced (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil), because you are transacting business on behalf of the company in a role that does not legally exist.

In most states, if you have an owner run LLC, your official title is "Member". However, most people don't want to represent their company as "Member", as this sounds weird, and is not a commonly used term. So in practice, you call yourself something else, like General Manager. If your operating agreement says that you can run the company under the title of "General Manager", or anything else you want to call yourself, then you are totally cool. If not, then you will be in trouble if a customer ever takes you to court.
Well, it's a vector math term.
Apparently they liked the guy. Even if the fit isn't right for this particular candidate, he might be able to refer (good) developers who are. I recall reading about some CEOs treating unrecruited interviewees as recruiting tools for their good friends. Always seemed like a sound idea to me.
Craig's List can be enhanced. I'm surprised no one has done it yet.
Uh, and UNIX syslog since like 1970?

No. "Sideloading of Third-party Apps" Whatever your opinion of it, Apple has shown time and time again that this will not officially happen. I would be extremely surprised if it were to happen. I am sure some of Apple's devices are sold at a loss to be later made into revenue by app and music sales. Third party applications would defeat this strategy.
In my.js, elts wrappers are both cached by id and in their native HTMLElements. The performance increases are sometimes from 1 to 100. Caching FTW. In fact, caching has only 1 minor fallback: you can't change an elt id if you have already accessed it by his former id (but who does? it's such bad practice).
For the above snippet, it's normal that your new h2 doesn't have any class since the $ fn only returns the first h2 (like querySelector) contrary to jQuery $ who returns a set.
The 3rd line of your code only add class to your first h2. To get a set of selected elts in my.js, use "$.elts" and it will work! If you're interested, I may give a presentation on my.js at the next WebWorkerCamp in Paris!
Have you spoken to an attorney about this? They may be the best people who can advise you in this situation. Look around your area some lawyers offer free consults.
False dichotomy. A third option is meaningful, constructive feedback. Only things they can improve.
I 2nd that emotion. If you are interested in Web apps, you might try creating with an old school CGI ecard site. It will introduce many basic concepts: working with the file system (images, thumbnails, etc), CGI, handling form data, doing simple database CRUD, and sending email. If you want to get fancy, you can build your own simple MVC framework in a few hundred lines.

What's great about the programming industry is that demand for good programmers is higher than the supply of good programmers, so if you're a good programmer people have no choice but to make you feel special for liking Emacs and Common Lisp. If you don't want to work for a Windows shop simply because you hate the default desktop background, that's their problem and not yours. You have a job, they don't have a developer. You win, they lose.

That's what's great about being a person instead of a computer program. You don't have to be rational!
