Markets aren't designed to support more than one or two players. There's not enough market share in a given space for it. Eventually you'll have first, second and everyone else.

What are you talking about? I've never heard that anywhere before?

How many car makers are there? Honda, Toyota, Ford. Right there is three, and they're all pretty darn big. And this ignores some pretty large folk like Chevy, GM, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, and other household names.

How many PC computer makers? Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo. Four, and all pretty big.

How many casual shoe makers? Nike, Reebok, New Balance, Adidas, Sketchers.

Retail stores? Macys, Sears, JCPennys, Walmart, Costco, Target.

There are tons of industries where there are more than two large players. IMO, it seems pretty clear that there will be at least three major players for mobile:

1) iOS. Only Apple.
2) Android
3) Some other phone that is licensed to the same OEMs that make Android devices. They want diversity so that a single company, like Motorola, can't just become the de facto leader. It's likely Windows Phone. Longshot is WebOS.
Arguably Android is a special case: if it's eliminated by patent suits or other means, then every mainstream mobile platform will be locked down. That's bad for freedom and innovation, and makes abusive legislation like the CBDTPA feasible to enforce.

I think the problem of Facebook is that people don't know about those features. I personally didn't know about lists until Google+ got released and all this feature comparison started.
The problem of Google+ will be to achieve critical mass. I don't care if I am going to use Google+ or Facebook right now as long as my friends are using it. Also, I wish there was a good integration of Google+ with FB, Twitter and LinkedIn (hell, I don't want to publish my status/question/complain etc. on 4 different sites).
The legal system allows them to do things analogous to that, such as compelling someone to open a safe to enable arbitrary access to the contents (as mentioned in the article). Presumably they must suspect that the safe contains documents relevant to the case.

The Cato institute is not a conservative think tank, as in "conservatives vs liberals or republicans vs democrats".

I don't know why people keep thinking class is about personal income.

Edit: this is relevant because their evidence that the middle class is shrinking comes in the form of a drop in the share of total income earned that accrues to the middle quintile, from 17% to 15%. That's an interesting result, but it doesn't really say anything interesting about the "middle class". In my book, if you have to go into work every day or you can't pay the mortgage, you're middle class. You have a job, you have secured debt, you own your home, and your income comes from employment. I will bet you that a much larger span of that spectrum, up to and including most of the top 5%, meet that description. Those at the top might be "upper middle" and enjoy a lifestyle that others envy, but that doesn't make them upper class.

This is going to be a very biased comment because Noah is a close personal friend of mine.

Noah will generally be the same guy while talking to your parents as he is having a beer with close friends: direct, open, and sometimes irreverent. This is shocking to many people in our (to use the author's term) "post-polite" society, but this is precisely why Noah is one of my favorite people in the world. When you're talking to Noah, you know that he will tell you exactly what he thinks, and he'll have fun doing it.

I owe a tremendous portion of any success I've had to Noah. In addition to being a brilliant marketer, Noah has taught me to ask for forgiveness and not for permission - something every entrepreneur needs to be reminded of every once in awhile. He's always been a huge help to me. A mere 2-minute conversation with him can be pure gold, so it's a shame that the author was too upset to absorb what was (just positing - I wasn't there) probably a great presentation.

On one hand, I personally would not have used "the bitch slide" in a presentation. There are not enough women in tech, and while I wouldn't compare the word "bitch" to a racial slur, it is just sexist enough to ensure that at least some of the few women who are in the audience will feel alienated when used within the context of a male-dominated conference.

I'm sure that Noah doesn't really think that his ex-girlfriend is a bitch. His current girlfriend is the only serious relationship I've known him to have in the past 5 years, so he may have just made up this ex for the sake of joking. In actuality, Noah is one of the more emotionally mature and communicative people I've ever met, so he's perfectly capable of understanding that relationships are two-way streets.

On the other hand, the hypersensitivity the author demonstrates is exactly the kind of buttoned-up bourgeois bullshit that made me want to work for myself. I want the freedom to be myself. Sexuality, relationships, and the ambivalence that comes from all of it are a part of being a human, and success in entrepreneurship is about as close as one can come to self-actualization (at least in America).

The line:

> the small but influential industry of high tech companies and service providers who cater to high tech startup companies (yes, I’m serious, there is such an industry)

gives away that the author was clearly out of her element. This isn't the world of stodgy HR policies and training manuals. We make it up as we go along, we test the boundaries, and sometimes we make mistakes just to find out where those boundaries are. I'll be damned if a flame post and an errant Sriracha bottle is going to take that away from us.
5 ‘Real’ Ways Bootstrapped Startup Kids Pay Their Bills
It's ethical to auto-renew. It's ethical to raise prices. It is not ethical to auto-renew a raised price. Just because the pieces are OK doesn't mean the whole is.
This is a very consumerist outlook (you're American, no?)

I don't think many people in Europe spent a large amount of time wishing they lived in the US, I don't think many do now. Europe is not some sub-standard America. When the pound was strong (2:1 against the dollar), British people could come to the US and have comparable, if not better, buying power than Americans. There was not a large number of people wishing they could live in the US. Nice place to visit, though.

Consuming stuff, and attaining status based on it, is not unique to America, but my experience shows its more highly-prized. It's a good, visual metric for your progression, and I get that. When I lived in New Zealand, it was positively brutal to be a consumer of much of anything. I was on an above average wage (as my first job), and I still couldn't really afford much in the way of furniture or electronics. However, my quality of life was so good, it didn't matter. They had a wonderful community, a relaxed working atmosphere, and good people.

Americans could move to NZ tomorrow (particularly those in IT). You're trading in one idealism for another, but it certainly never had anything to do with "Can I eat?" or "Will I have a roof over my head?" but "What do I value?"

Personally, as a Brit, I'm quite enamored with burritos, Costco, and sunshine, so I like it here in CA. But that's a choice I made, and it never had anything to do with how much money I have.

It has nothing to do with the Open Source part and everything to do with the "triumph" part. Android devices are selling very well. Its competitors couldn't care less how it's built or by whom.

That is interesting. And it would make sense, given that 1930s Italy was run by a dictator who had a personal obsession with proclaiming himself the heir the Roman Empire. This is a fun tangent. And apologies to everyone else who's trying to stay on topic. This is why I love nested comment systems.

The standard method is to use one operating system in normal, day-to-day operations and another (in a hidden volume) whenever you're doing something sensitive or potentially illegal (you would also change the MAC address, not use it on your own wifi network, and so forth). However, it's probably too much to hope that most people actually realize this, especially criminals. Extremely paranoid people will have absolutely nothing incriminating on the computer, leave it unencrypted (to avoid suspicion), and use disposable flash drives with a small Linux image on them whenever they want to do something illegal. The flash drives are destroyed after one use.

Oh, and anyone smart enough to do that wouldn't describe their method on a public forum.

Also, your first sentence really irritates me: having the entire OS volume encrypted in no way means that you have two OS volumes, which you seem to be saying.
Perhaps something like this would help:

Some of the "advice" in CSSLint _warnings_ isn't just about performance and smaller CSS files, it's about writing maintainable CSS and being able to produce reusable classes or components for the development team. Depending on the project, that may or may not be a concern.

Irrespective of opinions on CSSLint, I'm not a fan of this kind of blog post. Doesn't do anything constructive. I didn't see any evidence of an attempt to engage with Nicole and Nicholas or raise concerns at the GitHub repo. That's a shame.

I'm pretty sure most American's could live frugally on 25K for 6 months. However, it's still considered foolish if you have the means to save more because that 6 months is based on your "normal rate of expenditures". A surprise medical emergency could easily wipe that out leaving Rand in a position where he might have to take VC money at much worse terms because of his financial situation.

So, assuming the DOJ can force one to decrypt a laptop, then wouldnt it be wise to make all your sensitive informarmation in a cloud-mounted encrypted partition such that nothing actually lives on the laptop of value?

Think of the laptop, again, as a dumb terminal. Make sure that the mounting of said partition is an always manual event and no command logging/local logging occurs.

Here! take the laptop! Here's the password!

When working, data gets brought to a local, ram based, cache - all evidence of anything running on the machine dies with power loss.
The first paragraph gives it all away:

"The clock is slowly ticking toward Aug. 2, the date on which the U.S. faces "fiscal Armageddon" — according to the Obama administration — unless Congress agrees to raise the debt ceiling. But would we?"

Yes, it's an Armageddon according to the Obama administration. But also Speaker Bohner. And Senator McConnell. And Moody's. And the CBO. Etc.

It's also terribly inaccurate, even from a Cato perspective. A 44% cut in federal spending really isn't accurately described as something that will "almost certainly hurt." Pretending to believe that that's doable in any sensible way doesn't lend much credence to the writer.

Even if it were possible to do things as he suggests, it wouldn't solve the central problem. The United States has _legal obligations_ to pay Social Security benefits, make sure our retired soldiers receive their pensions, and other civil servants get the healthcare benefits they're entitled to as part of their agreed upon compensation package. These aren't things you can go "oopsies, I don't feel like paying it, maybe next month." And even if you were to do this with extremely questionable legality, it wouldn't help the central issue, which is faith in the credit of the United States. If I pay off my credit card bill but have to renege on my mortgage and car payments to do so, my credit is still going to be shot.

Lastly: this is about two weeks late in Republican messaging. It's now Obama who's pushing for larger long-term deficit reduction and spending cuts than Republicans (on the order of 4 trillion instead of 2 trillion over the next decade). This is, it should be said, not merely twice as big as the Republican package but also twice as stupid and boneheaded. Regardless, that's how things stand--Republicans are likely to refuse Obama's 4 trillion in favor of their 2 trillion, which is only half as stupid so on net good for the country. Good for them, but unfortunately it undermines the Cato dude's argument about it being about the deficit.

Apparently saurik and I are the only ones confused!

I found it very jarring to read that Firefox 6 isn't out yet, but the thread talks as if Firefox 8 is actually out, or very close to being released. In my mind I'm envisioning a weird, staggered, neither increasing nor decreasing of version number release cycle.

I think you're coming from a different angle where all of this is very familiar for you, so you can't relate to the confusion some of us other readers have had to deal with.
Both are interesting in their own right, but I think it was a little disingenuous to not announce the previous-year comparison right in the title or the first paragraph. They really buried the lede in the article.

Right, so the Government's demand of my encryption key to unlock the contents of my "digital brain" is no less different than the Government forcing me to take some truth serum to force me to reveal something I don't wish too... because it would incriminate me.

Will she need to be convicted first or can she go to the Supreme Court on what's happened so far? This seems like the perfect case to test the boundaries of electronic security.
Every case is a little different, but investigators do need probable cause to search a laptop.

This is a mortgage fraud case involving years of criminal activity, so I'm guessing that it's probably not too hard for the prosecution to produce witnesses who can say "yes, she sold me that crappy mortgage and used her laptop when I went to meet with her.", or direct information of her internet usage (ISP, or logs from cable modem), or observation of her using the laptop by police during the investigation.

Whenever you see numbers like this, always ask two questions. Is it adjusted for inflation, and is it adjusted for economic growth?

If you're feeling really wonky, you'd also adjust for sector-specific inflation. For instance, disproportionate increase in the cost of health care. Which I hear the government spends a couple dollars here and there on...
America's debt: Shame on them
I didn't mean to imply that, I meant to imply one "should" have two different volumes with different operating systems as to ensure no artifices from your misdeeds are on the "day to day" volume (assuming said criminal is using Windows). I'm merely going off my understanding of the ideal TC setup, as I don't bother having one setup in such a manner.

I am of the opinion, as you stated, most criminals are not wise enough to go through the extra steps necessary to truly make TC hidden volumes reliable. From my experience, the extent of most peoples' tech savvy is running CCleaner or in the RAREST of cases Eraser. Though, I should say my experiences are 90% corporate.
Yeah, but it's completely wrong:

"If we are really worried about a hike in interest rates, what about the hike we can expect if we fail to get federal borrowing under control?"

Interest rates are as low as they've ever been. In fact, the only "threat" of our rates for borrowing going up have not been for borrowing more, but quite the opposite.

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/feel-the-pressur...

"The real fiscal Armageddon that this country faces comes not from a delay in raising the debt ceiling, but from out-of-control federal spending and government debt."

Except that this "out of control" federal spending has been rising at the same rate as a % of GDP essentially since 1950.(minus a blip in 1992)
