One thing I've seen in the Khan Academy videos is that they focus on one small slice of information at a time. This is often hard to do in the classroom. While I tend to lean toward the "cover less in class, but get better understanding of what is covered" side of the spectrum in my teaching, I'm still often giving the equivalent of 2-3 Khan video descriptions in each class.

Personally, I refer my students to the Khan Academy videos in class as well as other online resources. They don't much for many students, but for others they make the subject matter click.

IMO they're a boon, as are the other online resources as well as abebooks and Powells where great textbooks from the past are available for less than lunch money as alternate resources.
Personally, I'd go for Alfred ( http://www.alfredapp.com/ ) over Quicksilver.

While Quicksilver is supposed to be more powerful, it just never really clicked for me and didn't feel very smooth. Alfred felt like it fit it better and let me do what I wanted to do - especially with the powerpack installed.

Mostly I just use it as an app launcher, file finder (start with ' and only searches files), and file browser (start with / and you're browsing the filesystem). Anything much beyond that was just overkill.

I think that's significantly different than, say, living in California where you may originally be from some other state that's as distant as you are from Moscow or Madrid, and not have as many friends and family...

That's probably right, at least to some degree.

In any case, California is certainly a big marked, so even if you can only target a small percentage it could still be a viable business.
A Quick Tutorial on JavaScript Bookmarklets
"but I've never heard of a law protecting one's right to be listed in a search engine."

I believe that in most countries where computer crime law exists, removing or modifying data that is not yours(1) is covered by the law.

(1) What's "yours" and what's not is of course a very tricky question when it comes to immaterial things. Whether a listing for your webpage generated by a third party is yours, I wouldn't bet (on either side.)

Take Microsoft: they are making most of the money off the same two products for decades—OS and Office.
Now take apple: 47% of they revenue is from product which was introduced four years ago (iPhone). 21%(!) comes from product which was released merely a year ago—iPad.

Apple is not afraid to kill its cash cow if they think they have a better product in line—see how they dealt with iPod line before the iPhone—they were replacing the most popular model with something new.

I have no doubt Jobs has a vision many years into the future. It was amazing to watch his 1997 WWDC keynote and realize that now we see the fruits of his thoughts then.

Your pretty UIs for helping people in their lives (I don't mean to discount that -- it's really important) won't go anywhere without the infrastructure.

Everyone has their preferred area, and the fields together are important. We could just as well stop boasting how our work was somehow better so we can be proud we don't care about someone elses work...
If I had to guess they are probably sub-classing the built in collection classes under the covers to add in metadata slots for things like type information. As long as they implement the appropriate collections interface or class I don't see why they wouldn't be compatible with generics classes since none of type details ever makes it into the runtime.

I think Apple and Amazon has had a bigger impact on pirating than any lawsuit. Most people seem to forget that the average price of a CD back then was $16-20. You could get the new albums for $10 but most of the back catalog stuff was priced way above what the market would bear.

Now, with subscriptions, better pricing models, and streaming you have access to more music than you could possibly listen to in a lifetime. The lawsuits did have an impact, it made people more selective and secretive about their activities. Instead of torrenting off public trackers people went to private trackers, newsbin, or LAN sharing (the last option was especially big on university campuses).
It is not "parallel programming", which is hard. Concurrency and synchonization is.
wow - where did you find that?
Effect of Intensive Handwashing Promotion on Childhood Diarrhea in High-Risk Communities in Pakistan

Results: Children younger than 15 years living in households that received handwashing promotion and plain soap had a 53% lower incidence of diarrhea (95% confidence interval [CI], –65% to –41%) compared with children living in control neighborhoods. Infants living in households that received handwashing promotion and plain soap had 39% fewer days with diarrhea (95% CI, –61% to –16%) vs infants living in control neighborhoods. Severely malnourished children (weight for age z score, <–3.0) younger than 5 years living in households that received handwashing promotion and plain soap had 42% fewer days with diarrhea (95% CI, –69% to –16%) vs severely malnourished children in the control group. Similar reductions in diarrhea were observed among children living in households receiving antibacterial soap.

“This makes no sense,” said Demand Progress Executive Director David Segal; “it’s like trying to put someone in jail for allegedly checking too many books out of the library.”

No it's not. It's like sneaking into the library at night and making photocopies of all the books. Then, upon getting caught, the perpetrator sneaks back into the library in a different disguise and continues to photocopy more books. Repeat this action of getting caught and sneaking back in a few more times and combine this with the fact that his downloading of documents affected JSTOR performance for other legitimate users of the archive and you get a sense of what he's really done.

How is this excusable?

It's very slick, and gosh there are indeed parts of HTML that would be nice to fix. But like any abstraction layer, one has to ask "is it worth it". Is the added debugging difficulty worth having an abstraction layer. Is that fact that HTML hacks will be even hacker worth the fact the fact that you're now writing only Ruby? And are Ruby's abstraction mechanisms, or tooling, really enough to counteract the cognitive burden of also thinking about what HTML all of this will produce?

Also, Rubyists seem very good at putting together really nice websites...

I'm an iOS developer and I have the original iPhone.

Most apps written for < iPhone 4s tends to work ok on my iPhone 2G (i.e. apps written for iPhone 3G or 3GS).
Interestingly Tim Cook made some comments about the Android activation numbers on the Apple call yesterday:

"I think the Android activation number is a difficult one to get our hands around. Because unlike our numbers, which you can kind of go to our data sheet, and add the iPhones and iPads, and make a reasonable approximation of the iPod touch—which we said is over half of our iPod sales—you can quickly see that in June quarter we sold over 33 million iOS devices. And across time… we’re now over 222 million cumulative iOS devices. So we think this is incredible. So our numbers are very straightforward, they’re transparent, and they’re reported quarterly."

I'm not quite sure what he's getting at here. It seems he's suggesting that the Android activation numbers are, shall we say, soft, but if he is that's an interesting claim and one which I'm guessing can be checked relatively easily (add up what the major suppliers claim to be shipping - HTC, Samsung, B&N - if you can't get in the ball park then something might be up).

This is what I mean by bonkers: nobody is "basing the legality on quantity". You made that up. I didn't say that. The indictment didn't say that. The law doesn't say that.

As it seems your concern for fact starts and ends with the considerably less relevant quantity of JSTOR employee compensation, I see no reason go on.
This already happens to varying degrees, because if you make enough money the corporate tax structure doesn't hit you as hard as the personal income tax structure. There are plenty of other tricks available as well, such as deferring income, etc.

If you also eliminate income taxes and shift completely to consumption-based taxes, it gets a lot harder for wealthy people to avoid taxes; in fact, the only way to avoid consumption taxes is to live the lifestyle of a less-wealthy person. Even illegal sources of income get taxed when you switch to a consumption-based tax system: you can't tax the income of a gangster with no declared income, but you can tax all of the shiny stuff he buys. Regardless of the source of income, the same truth applies: if you want to enjoy your wealth, you will end up paying taxes on it.

Of course, some wealthy people will choose to live more frugal lifestyles in order to avoid taxes (many wealthy people already do so, for a variety of reasons). The reduced consumption might hurt the economy some, but they have to put their money somewhere, and that somewhere is generally some sort of investment, which helps the economy.

The biggest problem with consumption-based taxes is that they tend to be highly regressive because there is generally an inverse relationship between income and the percent of income spent on consumption. However, there are ways to correct for this. You can target specific categories of goods which only the wealthy can afford (the aforementioned "yacht tax,"), but this tends to be very destructive to those industries and can cause big distortions throughout the rest of the economy. You can exempt certain categories of goods, such as groceries and other basic necessities, but this also creates huge distortions, and also creates a situation where industries buy politicians in order to get their products exempted. Another approach is to offer rebates equal to the consumption taxes paid by a typical low-income family, so that such families will pay zero net tax, but that's complex and expensive to administer.

If this post stays on the frontpage of HN a little longer I'm most certain the conversion rate from this blog article is way higher, although almost a million people visited.

As I can see it actually 4400 out of 850 000 people sent a kiss, and I guess even fewer actually signed up. So that is 0.05% conversion, which I guess is pretty low.

These are pretty simple, not so preachy, and generally expected observations from someone working in a location independent profession while travelling the world and picking up new languages. This is also advice aimed almost directly at people in similar positions - those with higher education and almost zero financial or emotional attachment (ex. children, sick family memebers) to their original home. What I'm more interested in though is when the author realizes that being in different places every three months, no matter how much you "hack your experience" there only allows you access to a certain level of experiential depth. Love, trust, deep friendships, community - you just cant cultivate these things every three months while planning your next destination and as much friendliness, and kindness people in these places show you, its not the same as if you are someone planning to be a part of that place permanently.

What happens is this: Apple makes great products, people want them, other people make cheaper copies, people can afford them and so they buy them.

One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers."
