If your goal is to have people doing creative, innovative work, then I would strongly disagree that there is any advantage whatsoever to be derived from making people feel "locked in." In practice, I have only seen this achieve the opposite effect -- disengaged people hanging around longer than they should and poisoning the atmosphere for passion-driven folks around them.

Joe's post made it quite clear that Facebook's management strategy is to provide freedom and autonomy, not handcuffs. This is one of the key reasons people love working there. The only thing Facebook is "squandering" is the opportunity to be experienced as a corporate financial prison.

The idea that any of this would be driven by Zuck's personal desire for liquidity is way off the mark.

How To Write An Evaluation Essay
Writing an evaluation essay is easy if students understood its meaning. An evaluation essay will evaluate the thesis statement and bring different aspects of the discussion surrounding it into clearer focus. With this understanding, students should be able to write an evaluation essay.

Obviously Intel could start fabbing ARM parts, but with the x86 they had only 2 competitors, and with ARM they are competing with every single chip foundry out there. Of course Intel has a whole lot of IP that they could use to intimidate other ARM manufacturers, so it should be interesting.

I was wondering if Intel could scale the atom down faster than ARM could scale up, and it looks very unlikely at this point, especially since Apple and Microsoft have every reason to want to commoditize the CPU market.

HTML5 was created by WHATWG (not W3C) in 2004. WHATWG was formed specifically because W3C had abandoned HTML in favor of XHTML. Only when it was clear that XHTML was a failure did W3C abandon it and join forces with WHATWG in 2007.

In other words, W3C missed the boat on this. I don't think it's to their great credit that they joined a three-year-old effort after it was already clear that the whole industry was headed towards HTML5 and not XHTML.

You should learn the history of HTML5, it's a perfect example of how the W3C is terribly broken, and certainly not an adequate or passable standards body. HTML5 was developed outside of W3C, in spite of the W3C, and at the objection of the W3C. Remember XHTML2? Hopefully not, but that's what the W3C wanted to do. The WHATWG formed to create HTML5 because browser makers wanted to improve the web and it was obvious that XHTML2 wasn't going to do that.

After it was clear how useful HTML5 was, the W3C was dragged into participation, but unlike W3C standards, HTML5 continued on with it's open development model where discussion takes place in the open.

The W3C has not contributed the idea, the execution, the prolitical process, or the people to HTML5, and HTML5 is a W3C standard by label only. If you look at the other standards the W3C creates, you'll see a pattern where standards are developed in isolation behind closed doors and without implementations, in direct contrast to any useable and useful standard such as HTML5. RDF, OWL, SVG, all abominations that seem to exist to hold back others from making reasonable and useful replacements.

Do you think that maybe you're being a little bit oversensitive about this? I wasn't pissing all over anything, simply offering my opinion that I don't think it's okay to wait to release the source code. I have plenty of respect for facts, knowledge and experience; if Eben Moglen pops into this thread to offer his opinion I'm happily going to defer to him.

If it's so essential to hold our tongues unless we're formally qualified experts on a topic, there wouldn't be much discussion on HN. That would kind of suck.

1) Why not? I think the burden is on you to argue why IP rights should be limited. Defending property rights is the default position, not one that needs to be supported.

2) Selling IP rights lets you get immediate payment. Instead of a continuous royalty stream over decades, a lump-sum upfront with the same present-value. This could be more convenient.

3) IP rights let (I believe) an inventor defend their patent after their death. Without transferrable IP, if someone's life expectancy is shorter than their patent's term, they could not fully benefit from it. This would be unfair to them. It would also be inconsistent that they could not transfer IP to descendants like other assets.

4) (Argument I've read on YC) Selling patents lets them be better-defended (by specialist patent "trolls"). It removes the burden of litigation from the inventor: "go to court or lose your royalties to infringers".

5) The concept of "same owner" looks silly when IP is owned by businesses, rather than individuals.

Pretty cool idea. I totally welcome more competition with djangopackages. The problem with things like PyPi is the lack of anyone willing to step up with a better product and force improvement in the community.

The one thing that's confusing is that it seems to list packages, but wants to help you build a package. Why not combine both worlds?
Great job! Was being funky at first but it was my fault -- I had 3rd party access disabled in the MIUI ROM's messenger settings.

For a small firm, there's really no way around having someone else host your email. Whether you get an IMAP server or Exchange, it's going to be cost prohibitive to host it yourself, so you'll have to pay a hosting company to manage it for you. I don't see how that would be any different than Google hosting it, and it would be significantly more expensive.

In my experience supporting law firms, they all use Exchange hosted in their own rack on-site, but I've only worked with firms with 10+ attorneys.
So we should wait until the last person that still needs physical delivery before making any changes.

That's the problem with enforced monopolies. If we had many competing companies, some can move into the future unrestricted. And those who don't want to change, other companies could continue to charge more for less value. Unlike now, where it takes an act of Congress to change the delivery schedule.

You're already on the right path, merely by caring you give your project the chance to have good design, it rarely (never?) happens by accident.

A common problem developers can fall into is failing to allocate enough time for design. You describe it as "the last bit", when in terms of effort required it may reasonably be every bit as large a task as any other component of your project, and in terms of user impact it may be the largest part of your project.

A (not so relevant) example about understanding the cost of design work: a lot of people claim that they can't draw, but they may be saying "my first sketch looked awful, therefore I can't draw", I started programming with
10 PRINT "HI!"
20 GOTO 10
but didn't tell myself "I can't write a defender clone, therefore I'll never be a programmer", skills are developed through use and practice.

From a developer perspective ask yourself what role design plays in the architecture of your project, are you structuring things so that the design can be rev'd independently of the software - I often bounce between working on design side and programming side tasks while working (ADD at work), but that is only really practical if they are (de)coupled in a way that allows parallel development.

The cost to build it would be recovered in the first few months if people were actually charged for the cost of having a person walk around for a half hour 6 days a week. That's got to cost $200 a month for a small community. Of course, government specializes in hiding the true costs of things, so who knows.

Do you think they paid to have Low win the Kavli Brain Mind Foundation Award for Most Innovative Research or to get elected TR35 to join the ranks of Brin and Zuckerberg? Do you think they paid Roche and Stanford to use their tech? Do you think they paid Fast Company to elect them as one of the Most Innovative Companies in Health Care? Really???

Making it easy to save Firebug CSS changes back to the source file was at the top of my todo list in 2007, and I was really bummed that I didn't get the chance to build it. Years later the Backfire extension came out, which does alleviate some of the pain of saving CSS, but I still think there's room for improvement.
Some members also stated that they are not involved in the attack [1]. I highly doubt that we can blame the attack on the group itself, most likely it is an attack that happened to involve some members of Anon but not a combined effort.
