All these stupid protesters are just having a hissy fit that will lead to nothing more than them losing a few hours of profitable game time. Face it losers, the company has you by the balls. You cannot boycott anything without ingame financial ruin. Your only choice is to leave or stay. As long as you stay, the owners own you. This is simply how Free to Play and Cash Shops work. The real money is in OP game changing gear. Every game that has implemented it, the players end up paying many times more than an annual WOW subscription in order to have the best gear and rush to end game.
Ask HN: "my" project has been implemented in 2005 - should I continue?
I do programming for fun, after my $dayjob. I've had this great idea for a website that shows you which book form a logical series (for example the seven "Harry Potter"), so that you can look up the sequels to a book.<p>A while back a found a site which has been doing that for a while [1], but that was OK - I didn't like that site's layout and search function, and their license allowed it for me to just import their data.<p>But this week I found another site which does the same thing [2], and they do
it really well. Moreover they have been doing that since 2006, have 8
employees and 1 mio signed-up users. But most importantly they already have a
huge data set. Quite a head start. They have also implemented some ideas I've had for getting some revenue (organizing your own library online, freemium model).<p>Compare that with what I currently have [3], I've worked on that for about
half a year now in my not-so-copious free time.<p>So I'm pretty demotivated right now. I wouldn't mind competing with another
site if I thought I did it better than they do, but currently I don't think
so. The only thing I do better is presenting translations (though I don't have
too much data for that yet), but I don't think that'll be a major selling
point.<p>So, what should I do? Should I just chuck out what I have now and turn to a
differnt project? Or compete nonetheless? Or maybe focus on the German market
(I live in Germany)?<p>I want to build something that people are happy to use and find useful, if it
turns out profitable in the end that would be nice, but that's not my main
priority.<p>[1] http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?7167
[2] http://www.librarything.com/series/Harry+Potter
[3] http://quelology.org/t/9684<p>P.S. yes, I know, I should have searched for other sites more carefully when I
started. Classical market research fail.

You seem to have a quite white/black view of the world. Managers in most locations, in small or big companies, often try to do their best to keep employment local. Partly this has to do with the fact to be able to show "their" team physically and so showing their power. But mostly it is because they are just human beings working hard and feeling some responsibility for their people. At least that's how I see it in Germany where the economy is doing quite good due to that attitude.

Owners of small company may need more engagement because they are more accountable and have much less of safety, but that's why they also get the jackpot when they succeed. Owning a company also takes a big toll on the family life. Being an executive is already a strain on the private life BTW. So everything has a price and a risk, some more and some less - telling that large corporations are evil brings nothing to the discussion I think.
The trouble with binary installers is that they tend to be heavily compressed to begin with, which obscures whatever similarities a diff tool might find - in much the same way that compressing a file prevents other compression tools from doing a very good job on it.

I'll add binary tarballs of some open-source software to my suite, but it'd be nice if I had some files that weren't x86 executables, too. :)

You are getting close: List the characteristics of the usual professions and then conclude that in the US software is not a profession. It's even less of a profession than being a plumber or electrician since can need a license for each of these.

Lawyers? They have a cute professional rule that a lawyer working as a lawyer must be supervised by a lawyer. So, no stuffed suit, business middle manager types need apply to supervise lawyers in an organization.
On a slight tangent, there has been much furore over Final Cut Pro X because a lot of "Pro" features has been ditched in favour of usability improvements. David Pogue said that he managed to get a home project out in short order, but the people who actually do this for a living are rather unhappy because their workflows have been broken.

It seems that Pro Am and Pro are separate market segments that marketeers have difficulty positioning.

The reason is that people fancy themselves as being more competent than they actually are, and would go out and buy the souped up version that has features they could not possibly need (like 12 simulataneous cameras) and look like a space shuttle cockpit instead of something simpler.

This is an interesting problem. I wonder what could be done about this? You'd virtually be forced to name the actual professional edition as something rather staid, like "Final Cut Classic" in order to properly sell your product.
There are no prices without scarcity.
Fn-TECHWORLD: Now You Can Smack Someone On Facebook [video] | Mashable
Anon has somewhat of a cause they're fighting for, they are pretty consistent when it comes about picking targets and their motives. But despite the amount of media attention it still feels like a drop on a hotplate to me.

LulzSec on the other hand just wants 'lulz', they'll try to hack anyone and anything, and probably fail a lot, but when they succeed they get a lot of media coverage. They pretend to be doing it to make people aware of security, but either it's a front or they're just that naive.

Anon has a goal, and what they do is an attempt to achieve it, LulzSec's goal is to do damage. I for one fear that LulzSec will push governments into cracking down on w/e is left of the 'free' internet.

Ask HN: How do you manage your *nix binary package updates? (first post. eek)

My Start Up Did This for Mario Marathon 
In celebration of Mario Marathon this year my start up made this cool WordPress theme which we are giving away for free.
You may find this amusing:

In December 2002, a 60-year-old mechanic named Leon Humphreys was fined £25 for failing to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency that he had removed his Suzuki motorcycle from road usage. He refused to pay and claimed that he had the right, under medieval law, to choose a trial by combat with a "champion" nominated by the DVLA. This claim was denied by a court of magistrates in Bury St Edmunds, and he was further fined.

The United States inherited its common law traditions from the English system after it declared its independence in 1776, with precedents before that date entrenched in the American jurisprudence, as the Rule in Shelley's Case in property law has. The British, however, did not abolish wager by battle until 1819 after Ashford v Thornton, as noted above, and since independence no court in the United States has addressed the issue of whether this remains a valid alternative to a civil action under the law.

Someone high up at Telstra has something to hide
The Sun in the UK (don't blame me, I work on a radio station and we get it there!) had LulzSec on the front page, I think twice this week.

Once when someone got arrested (headline "HACK THE LAD"), and once an 'exposé' about the arrested teenager sniffing gas (headed "OFF HIS INTERNUT!").
Did LulzSec Hack Apple's iCloud and Steal Source Code?
This is how the law was interpreted in this special case (which is plain wrong in my view). It is not only about the testimony. It is about helping the prosecution to build a case which you as the acused do not have to - not in preparation for the case, not in the court itself. In court everything you say becomes a testimony. In each stage, you have the right to remain silent if you are the acused.

The real problem here is how a judge / prosecutor thinks about digital data as 'property'. If they have possession of the encrypted data, it is up to them how to use it as evidence to build a case or to judge it. You have not to do anything to help them with that as the acused.
A lot of Unix variants used the IX suffix (AIX, IRIX, Xenix...), probably to make it obvious that they were Unix variants.
I would assume that this 'fear' is really dissenters within the company trying to create FUD to ward off further censorship or filtering. It's either that or it is a PR campaign to get more funding.
That's very old.
The conclusion is completely wrong. If you have a potential to go to college but you consciously decide to skip it/drop out, that's somehow different from stopping your education at high school level just because you can't get into university.

It's 21st century. You won't make money just from having a degree and being dumb.
I'd also be much more likely to forget passwords (for real) after being locked up in jail (stressful and away from computer, so not logging in periodically). I think at the point of forgetting, the contempt charge would go away.

What I always find hard to understand is that when you "query" a graph database, you have to start at a certain node.

User:

Name: John

Age: 43

Country: Sweden

Job: SoftwareEngineer

What if I wanted to get the names of all software engineers in sweden?
Do I have to create a type of "job" node and start traversing from the one that is for software engineer's?

Also: Is sorting possible at all with graph databases? What if I only want people called John that are older than 20?

Is this too far out of scope for Graph Databases?
It's simple. We're not short of "brilliant minds", not at all. Instead, the employers want to have a shortage of a simple word, a common, single, two syllable word, MONEY. It's not about brilliant minds but about money, just the money.
Well...ok...but then how are health care providers supposed to put information in for their clients?

Google wanted Google Health to totally reshape the health informatics industry. When they say our primary relationship is with the user that's what they really mean. They intended to let people control their own data.

Yes, there are issues with this idea, but there are issues with health record portability as it currently operates.
Anon started out doing pretty silly things, too, I believe, and soon their mission "matured" and became more serious. I'm starting to feel the same trend for LulzSec, and they even said so in a very recent BBC interview. They were asked if the "lulz" and the "antisec" missions are at odds with each other. They said for now they will keep doing a bit of each, but they think they'll start getting more serious as it's more fulfilling to have a cause like bringing down a few notches the corrupt officials, etc.

So we'll see if that's what will happen. They are pretty unpredictable, but I think they'll get caught up in this and continue doing it for the good of everyone.

The goal is not to get blown up; the government isn't going to try to censor. Plus, the government there isn't monolithic; aside from the NDS, I believe the provincial/city government is much more relevant than the national government, and the FabFi people have done a pretty good job of getting "in" with the local government.

Our academic system, especially in the research universities, is just fine. Nearly all the world's best research universities are in the US. Why? After WWII the US War Department concluded that math, science, and engineering were crucial for US national security, Since then Congress, via the NSF and NIH, fund the research universities well enough to make them lead the world. There's no problem with our research universities.

There are many ways for Braille to fail, particularly if embossed on a regularly-used banknote, and not everybody can use it. Differently-sized notes are much harder to break, and are potentially useful for everyone. Make the notes differently-coloured as well, and they're straightforwardly distinguished by most people, regardless of disability (or lack thereof), in a variety of situations.

(I would imagine Braille costs a fair bit to print, but banknotes are somewhat expensive to make - compared to most pieces of printed paper, I mean - so perhaps that wouldn't be an issue.)

Quoth the article:
«A common fear about loser-pays is that the side who loses a routine dispute will get handed a bill for 10,000 hours from Cravath, Swaine & Moore. But European courts are well aware of the danger that successful litigants will overinvest in their cases and gold-plate their fee requests. They carefully control the process to prevent that danger, giving the losing side a full chance to dispute a fee award, requiring that work be reasonable and necessary, providing that elite lawyer rates not be paid if a Main Street lawyer could have done the job, and so forth.»

I am doing no such thing - shame on you for making assumptions about another's intentions.

The fact of the matter is that even if the first sentence of his message stated that he was being held on child pornography charges, I would still back his right to not have to reveal his key. That's ridiculously lazy policing.

However, the omission of what his charges are from such a thorough message is extremely conspicuous. I could pretend to be a string parsing robot and only act on what the message itself contained... Or I could use my full brain like a human and make some reasonable assumptions. He's probably been accused of something pretty bad to leave it out like he did.

It's funny that in then contest to appear dispassionate and just people, even in an intelligent community such as this, handicap themselves. We're not better for having done so.

Why would I care about files? I want to see a photo, I want to listen to a song, I want to open a document.
I why would I want to hack it? I don't want to hack my car, I want to use it.
Ok, I am an iPhone programmer, so I need to see below the surface. But the typical user does not. I am sure you know Clarke's law "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
Do you know what makes it so? Invisible implementation details. File system is an implementation detail. RAM vs. ROM is an implementation detail which exists solely because of the technological limitations. The classics of UX argued about need to hide these details long before iPhone.

Why do you think we see the rise of different "clouds"? Because they hide another layer of details. And yes, they move files you love so much further away from us. For the best, in most cases.

The times when hackers and users were the same people a over. Hackers today must understand, that the users of their products are no longer other hackers (with exceptions, of course) so different rules applies. Normal user will not care about implementation details. They may scare him. What the user want is to pick your product up and just use it.
Failing to understand that you fail as a hacker. On the other hand, succeeding to hide implementation from the users is a great hack.
You don't have a firm grasp of how American politics work. Every single member of Congress works to keep as much money and power in their district as they can. Retaining even a couple of hundred jobs in a given district can be a huge advantage in an election.

One doesn't need an op-ed to know that Congressmen lean to help companies in their districts that also make campaign contributions. Crane may be a small fish in the global paper mill business, but how much did they contribute to Kennedy's campaign fund over the last 5 decades?

Every other country on the planet has managed to smoothly eliminate the paper dollar/deutschmark/pound/etc when introducing an equivalent coin. All the claims of "oh, the people want to keep the dollar" are bullshit. Where's the documented public protest over keeping the paper dollar, other than the astroturfed group Save The Greenback?

"In 2006, then-Rep. Jim Kolbe (R) of Arizona, the country’s largest supplier of copper, introduced a bill that would have done away with the dollar, but it lay dormant in a Financial Services subcommittee. Kolbe, who introduced similar legislation AT LEAST FIVE TIMES throughout his career..."

The facts remain. Any legislative movement to eliminate the paper dollar has either been stalled in committee or never even mentioned in dollar coin legislation. Why is that?

If my beliefs are off base, let's hear your theory.
