Truly excellent summary. Thank you.

Question 1: In the case of exercising and ISO, you said that the spread amount is includable in income for purposes of calculating AMT. How is this spread determined? Is this where the company's 409a comes into play?

Question 2: This may be hard to answer, but generally speaking, if you're part of a company that you believe in, would you typically advise an employees to exercise his/her ISOs as soon as they vest in an effort to become eligible for LTCG in the long run? Or would you typically advise an employee to wait in order to avoid AMT issues? Again, this is likely case by base, but curious to get your thoughts.

Thanks again.
Idd, I think if they want to find you - there's a fat chance they will.
I wonder if NOT NOT IN would have solved it since he mentions the problem doesn't exist for NOT IN.
That's a rather ignorant statement to make.
How Offline Web Apps Should Work
Monads and Turing Completeness have very little to do with each other.

Unix pipes as monads is trying to create an analogy (an imprecise one) between unix pipe operations and monadic operations. The monadic laws do not hold with unix pipes, so the analogy is pretty weak.

You might want to re-read Conal's "the c language is purely functional" because it makes no claim about cpp being a monad, at all.

Let's look at the monad instances/examples listed by the Wadler paper, in order:

* The identity monad

* The strictness monad

* The state monad

* Filters (MonadZero)

* Monad Morphisms

Under "More Monads":

* Parsers

* Exceptions

* Input and Output

Are you trying to use this paper to establish that monads were invented exclusively for I/O and now perverted to describe exceptions? Note how exceptions are listed as an example use of monads before I/O.

> and who are you to say that integers are not usefully equivalent to exceptions??? have you ever heard of errno?

errno is not an exception mechanism. You have to indicate, in-band, that there's an error result, then check for that result, and then use errno as well, to implement exceptions.

Whereas the Either monad itself implements both the in-band encoding of errors, and the caller's error-check and propagation.

It may not be as large of an issue but it would still be an issue. I know several people who no longer rent movies due to how easy it is to pirate and watch (before it even comes out on DVD).
Japanesse companies, Toyota in particular, took hold of American management thought and applied it to their manufacturing processes better than we did. The wisest method was the concept of "continuous improvement", which is to say they constantly are going back and refactoring portions of their manufacturing process to reduce waste, increase throughput, and so forth.

It's very similar to how you might optimize a program. You find a hotspot you think might need improvement and you spend a portion of time improving it. Measure results before and after. Rinse and repeat.

I'm sure there are a lot of small things they learned along the way but the simple idea of continuously improving their processes has kept them on top.

Truly enlightened Agile development is not doing Scrum, XP, etc., it is being wise enough to look at your process and see how it can be improved. Pick and choose different ideas that will fix the parts that need to be fixed, but never be fully satisfied with what you are doing.

The real failure in any project management philosophy is believing that it is the "One True Way" that all things must be done for all teams everywhere all the time.

If the term has any connotation, I think it's more an emphasis on best practices, especially things that help programmers work together: version control, continuous integration, bug tracking, API documentation, etc.
What are the workarounds they talk about?
As an Australian, hypothetically our US counterparts are often viewing and discussing brand new popular television as it comes out in America.

In Australia, hypothetically said episodes tend to come out a number of days later for very popular shows and often weeks or months later for less popular shows.

This is due to hypothetical dinosaur age licensing of said programs from hypothetical Australian media companies.

I have heard hypothetically on a number of occasions, hypothetical Australians downloading hypothetical series only hours later than they were literally aired in America.

The exact same things happens (hypothetically) with DVDs and whatnot. Contextual shows like South Park make less sense when aired in countries like Australia many months after they were aired in the US.

What do these companies expect is going to happen?

---

On a side note, a television series that portrayed the story of a number of gangland murders was produced, and was to be aired WHILST THE TRIAL WAS STILL ONGOING. Now the magistrate in their epic wisdom decreed that the show was not to be shown in the state that the crimes were committed, as it may contribute to biasing the jury of the case (there's a correct legal term, which I forget).

What happened was that the show was aired in all other states except Melbourne, as ordered by the judge, and the very next day there were people STANDING ON STREET CORNERS IN THE MELBOURNE CBD selling DVDs of the episode to people as they were stopped at red lights. I kid you not, this actually happened.

Anyway, long story short the main man was convicted and later murdered in prison, but I hope this illustrates the utter lack of understanding and wisdom of Australia in these matters. Hypothetically no wisdom at all.
Good point.

Hmm, I guess I would split the numbers in half, and sum each set of half's (making sure to set the exponent correctly).

Then add the less significant half to the more significant half.

i.e. basically add the numbers in order of magnitude. It doesn't have to be just two half's.

Did anyone post this as a solution?

I do remember learning this somewhere - it was a warning about loss of precision when adding lots of small numbers to a few large ones. And the solution was to do all the small numbers first.

Seems like this would be a perfect place to teach this lesson. Do you know if this site does that?

>claimed piracy was costing Australian content industries $900 million a year and 8000 jobs.

Is it just me or does even this clearly inflated figure seem like pocket change? The economy of Australia is some $900 billion a year and counting. The costs of enforcing such legislation and the impact on people's freedom and privacy is surely not worth a mere 0.1% of the overall economy even in the best case.

Hi all:
Two comments:
1. The GoodRelations RDFa vocabulary remains the superior way of sending rich data to Google and Yahoo; even Bing just announced they will support it in the future.

2. As for tooling, here are two super-easy ways of adding rich GoodRelations data to your site:
- http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/tools/grsnippetgen/
This creates a snippet of a few additional divs/spans based on your data; simply paste it before (!) the respective visible content. You are done ;) For products, see the effect in http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
- if you are using a standard shop package, e.g. Magento, osCommerce, Joomla/Virtuemart, or WordPress/WPEC, there are free extension modules that add GoodRelations:

http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/Shop_extensions

A similar module for Prestashop and Oxid eSales is in the making.

You don't need to implement IPv6, but you do need to be prepared for any problems that may arise in your network when google, youtube and facebook start advertising AAAA records. Some companies running older software and older operating systems might encounter problems.
I think one part of this can be attributed to the average Internet/Usenet users back then and typical Internet users of today and to the huge difference in numbers.
You have _now_ made that statement. Previously, you merely stated that they had done a poor job of reimplementing syslog without explaining why--this is the sole component of good criticism. Implicit meaning is tantamount to no meaning at all.

That logic doesn't actually add up, though.

Let's say 100 people own iphones, 10 of which are jailbroken. 9 of the jailbroken phones have downloaded my game, and one of the 90 non-jailbroken phones has paid for it. Maybe, if they couldn't download illegally, none of the 9 would have bought it, meaning I have lost 0% of my sales. Or maybe all 9 would have bought it, meaning I have lost 90% of my sales.

It doesn't matter if only 10% of "potential" customers can download a game illegally, it matters what % of likely customers do it. And for some developers that will be much higher than average, for others it will be much lower.
I know a ton of people that used to pirate, but since netflix and hulu became fairly decent, do not anymore. Most people don't want to pirate, but do so when there is no reasonable alternative. Yes, you will always have people that pirate. A lot of them do it for no good reason too. I know one such person that has gigs and gigs of movies he has never watched and will never watch. I think a lot of those people wouldn't have paid even if there were no alternative.

Sounds like that person was motivated by as compulsive desire to collect things rather than a desire to watch movies.
Mars ate my spacecraft
As a .NET developer who has yet to integrate regular unit testing into his work, I thought this article was too short to be useful. Some concrete examples would help.
I think one of the best ways to at least look at why the music industry is really reeling is to take a look at album sales and singles sales.

When CDs hit the market, there was no compelling way to get singles. CD singles were relatively rare, and few people wanted to buy cassingles instead of CDs. This is at odds with the the music industry existed up until that point.

Take a look at the list of best-selling albums and best-selling singles on Wikipedia. Sort the categories by year. There's fewer than 10 high-selling singles there from 1992-2004, while there are dozens of multiplatinum albums from the same era.

I agree with you completely; if we don't get over this, more people will be murdered in prison!

Okay, I jest. But you're absolutely right anyway. It annoys me as an American, and I'm the one with all the good fortune in this case! That a TV show can air here, and not air for another week if not longer in Canada, a nation literally adjoined to mine (and quite possibly where that TV show was made!) highlights the insanity. And this is especially stupid in broadcast TV, which literally gives its signal away. They know that the more eyeballs it has the more they can charge for advertising. How have they not taken advantage of the Internet and p2p yet? It's just dumb.

Worth watching, an hour or so speech from Mark Pesce, an American in Australia, who spoke on the topic years ago. I highly recommend anyone who doesn't think this is about the assumption of easy money and people with power sticking their head in the sands.

MS Visio VSD, VDX, VSS & VSX Formats Support, Render Diagram to PDF
We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 1.2.0. This release supports reading MS Visio 2003, 2007 and 2010 diagrams (VSD, VDX, VSS and VSX formats) and saving these diagrams as VDX or VSX formats. Users can read many more fields, formulas and functions in this release as compared to the previous releases. This release allows you to render your diagrams to most popular image formats as well as save them as PDF.
Another problem (which has made me completely give up television) is that the TV stations abruptly decide to stop broadcasting a show one week, move it to another time slot, and then just have no mention of it again.

An interesting parallel to this that might be worth looking at is the Japanese market. America used to get anime way later than it was released, and there was enormous amounts of piracy.

By the time the show would be released on DVD, many people had nice-quality subtitled videos from an independent online group. Many of these "fan-subbing" teams said they were releasing the files as a service to the worldwide fans that wouldn't otherwise be able to watch.

These days, companies are doing a bunch of simultaneous releases on TV in Japan and online in the US (and probably some other countries?). I think that time will tell how big of an effect the time delay had.
Sony isn't low-hanging fruit.
You can do this on Steam and PSN also. I don't view this as a significant piracy problem (and apparently neither do Apple, Sony or Valve), because there is an obvious limit of scale. Pirating an app via this method to two or three iphones is fairly trivial, but to distribute it to hundreds or thousands of devices would be a gargantuan task which no-one is likely to do.

Compare this to pirating an .ipa file via bittorrent for jailbroken iphone users, and it's a different story.

You're not wrong that "some customers are harder to sell to than others." But that's a problem anyone trying to sell something faces.

Also worth noting is that he talks about the disproportionate number of games pirated to games sold across the board. What can you take from that? That pirates are far more likely to pirate a larger number of games than customers will buy.

That's hard to prove, but if there are really that many more pirates in so many games, it certainly makes sense.
You raise a good point, but I think the "adolescence" part is when you say mean things about The Man behind his back over beers during frosh week. When you start your own company, is that really the same thing?
Intel significantly speeds up graphics under Linux (X.org)
A good article but I don't believe that the points presented in the article support the conclusion "why it never really works". "An alarming number of people... believe that Agile is a project management methodology, and that Agile really means SCRUM, XP, Kanban..." Why is it alarming for anyone to believe this? "I was once told by an Agile Trainer (LOL) that the correct way to phrase the requirement..." OK - so that doesn't make much sense to me. "Needless to say his company lost a $m project on the back of such BS" Companies can fail for lots of different reasons - and perhaps this particular Agile Trainer contributed and then again maybe not. That particular Agile Trainer may have been incompetent or misrepresented. The company may have failed for any number of different reasons. So I don't think that this example supports that conclusion. "Agile (big 'A' again) has become a bit of an albatross - it doesn't really work, it doesn't deliver the benefits it promised" I found that the article moved too quickly to this conclusion.

You could argue that that wasn't the main point of the article - but if that is the case then I would suggest that the title is a little too provoctive and the first few paragraphs are irrelevant. I enjoyed the article but I think that it would have been better if it simply didn't try to suggest that Agile never really works and just put forward what agile means to you. If the article was called "What agile means to me" and started from the line "agility [...] is a wonderful thing" it would have been great.
Hey 37signals, let's talk.
I worked for a (15 person) startup for a year and am now moving to a larger (70 person) company. I can say that working at a startup lets you try a lot of different things.

If you don't know what you want to specialize in a startup can be a great place. Over the last year I did everything from coding to usability testing to video editing.

At the startup, I worked with really talented engineers who cut their teeth at much larger companies (AOL, Microsoft, financial services firms). Now I've decided to specialize and am heading to a larger company to hone my craft.

The problem is that piracy destabilizes the price of whatever is being pirated. Digital goods are only worth what people are willing to pay and if everyone knows they can go to thepiratebay and get it ford free, it will be $0.

So even though companies know they will never win the piracy fight, it sends a message that it's not okay to download it for free (as opposed to doing nothing).

I've been reading about IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel brokers and I have a question.

Aren't they basically carrying all the data requested back back forth like an ISP over an (ipv4) ISP? So you are basically doubling the traffic needed? If so, how are there free tunnels, how do they make money? How is it even practical?
