I'm having trouble grasping what you're trying to say, and read your sentences as contradicting one other in two separate places.

I read back through your first posting, and can't understand how you can be on the one hand saying that people can defend IP through stolen property laws, yet not claiming that ideas are property.

I genuinely don't understand your point. As they say in the text adventures, 'perhaps you could rephrase what you've written and try to say the same thing a different way'.

Thread's probably dead now, but if you want to have another go I'll be around for it.
good point, or maybe we just read HN more?
Cool, but I'm gonna stick to XFCE4. Don't like the aero in KDE..

No, most insurance companies are perfectly legitimate. You are confusing 'legitimate' with 'morally sound'.

Which is not to say I agree that that would be an oxymoron. A 'morally sound free market' or 'morally sound unregulated capitalism': those are oxymorons, because there is no imperative that causes unbridled competition in free markets to lead to companies doing 'the right thing'. Which is why we need a government to regulate stuff. How much of a government is a different question: there's a difference between supporting libertarianism and supporting anarchism and not even the most staunch libertarian disagrees we need a government for some things.

My friend used to work for a large multi-national. In his company, each of the departments were like companies in itself. The formalities for quitting the job and changing departments were the same. So most of the time the only way to get off a bad project was to quit the company.
I consider myself to be a programmer and a designer, and while my education has mostly been focused on programming, I have taken a fair share of art and design courses as well. Everything I have learned and done leads me to the same conclusion that Mark makes: good programming and good design are not very different.

What the article is not saying is that being a good programmer will give you good design skills. (Usually it's inversely correlated.) But both programming and design require logical thinking, abstraction, and creativity. They both take practice and a certain mindset. While programmers use data to model software, a designer will base their decisions on what's best for users.

The key point of this article is that as a programmer, you can (and should) start thinking about your design from the user's perspective. Focus on what's best for the users, don't compromise there, and then worry about implementation. It's a recipe for success.
I'd guess you've been voted you down because you're talking in philosophy and not connecting it to practical matters.

For what it's worth, I'd recommend you do this: find a way to make your case in a practical way. Then explain that this situation is an analogy to what Kant said and give people clear links to that. Then explain the philosophical issue.
That's the least Googley Google thing I've ever seen. It's bald-faced bare-knuckles competitive, focuses 95% on FUD and 5% on features, and seems to know this and get by by saying "Don't worry, I'm being ironic about it" but it isn't.

I really doubt they will do it in the same time with Android manufacturers. The high-end iPhone is like $600. The rumors say they will release a $350 iPhone model, too. They won't go to $150 until 2-3 years from now, if ever. In the mean time Android phones will probably reach $50-$70, and once again will be selling more in volume.
>but it rubs me the wrong way that AirBnB is getting this massive amount of bad press

Press is not that bad, they probably got substantial increase of awareness about their still niche service in the general public segment of the population. It's in the same category as iPhone 4 antenna issue - Apple would have to pay billions of dollars to get the same exposure on all TV channels, while this allowed general public to see new iPhone for free, to learn that all cool people have it and are worried about antenna, and to forget about antenna next day and buy it.

While that is true, if you have equidistant from you two locations, one with one station, and one with four, then all other things being equal, you're going to go to the location with four stations - more price competition, less likelihood of queueing and the like.
Omar died :(
I think that just might be the effect of wide angle lenses and maybe cropping. Also, pointing all the cameras towards the center of the band.
I remember seeing one attendant using binoculars to check out the prices of the station down the road from them.

I also remember a radio station's competition where the petrol station that sold fuel at the lowest price won the competition. In the final hours of the competition, there were two or three stations selling petrol at 1c/litre... and they lost to the station that was paying customers 1c/litre...

I went to this meetup once in SD last school year, it was a huge eye-opener for me when I was on the fence on the idea of startups.

Now I'm currently in Silicon Valley with my brother cranking hardcore to roll out an app before fall quarter starts.

If you've never been to a hacker news meetup before, just go!
if you're in a niche field (like alot of startups are) try searching for forums etc. in that niche then try reaching out to users on those forums and acquiring them as beta testers. I'm sure others on hacker news are alot like me and would love to beta test a variety of products so posting it on here would not be a bad idea either
How Relevant is Social Media to your Business?
Unfortunately, it could easily be the case that the mentioned price competition outweighs the value of increased traffic due to decreased queuing, given how incredibly small the margin on gas stations is (from what I've heard from friends that have managed them).
It is different point of view but I just said it would be convinient, wouldn't it? i also don't know what is really going on.
Actually, forcing arrests is a very effective form of civil disobedience. One of the most effective civil disobedience campaigns I have seen was one that aimed to poke holes in wide and loosely defined laws being used by police for openly racist reasons (that is, we don't like your kind here). Some states in Australia have laws that can be used to arrest almost anyone for very little reason. For example, public nuisance, indecent language, resisting arrest (yes, people are often charged with, and only changed with, reacting to police attempt to arrest). Basically the campaign involved indigenous Australians going alone to places they knew would get them arrested, getting arrested, and then refusing bail. When bail is refused you are assigned the first available court session. The plan was a success, after 2 weeks the courts were completely clogged with cases judges would instantly throw out (because the prosecution case was beyond flimsy). Attention granted, laws were slightly changed, and some police officers were charged with contempt of court. Allowing yourself to be arrested is a valid activist tool for change.
I didn't realise Apple accepted PayPal, when did they get this integration?
Or it could be because of frame rate of those pans. Increase frame rate and the motion will appear fluid. But it will also be shorter. 250 cameras sounds like a lot but there were maybe just 25 horizontally, so that's 1 second of fluid animation, or 2 seconds of choppy animation. To get a better Matrix-like effect, they would rearrange them so all 250 are used.

50% said "yes" to Google+. 7% said Facebook is irreplaceable. The rest are undecided, unable to join Google+, or responded with "screw social networks".

On the other hand, it's a poll on PCMag. It's not a serious poll, so it's inherently worthless; and the readership is probably biased.

I feel I'd switch my use to Google+ if about 30% of my friends were there, if I liked the interface and privacy stuff more (I haven't seen it yet).

Plus, there's more than a snowball's hope in hell that Google+ will turn out to be a better development platform.
sounds familiar: When I wanted to upgrade a SL Server and I already had a Lion client license, the App Store told me that I also need the Server License and whether I wanted to buy it.

That made sense like this and I said yes.

This gave me an error 500 and the recommendation to try again.

And again

And again

I got suspicious when the App Store told me that my credit card was declined and low and behold: Yes. Every error 500 charged me with a Lion client and a Lion server license until my Credit Card company's fraud detection locked my card.

The App Store has shown 7 instances of Lion and 6 instances of Lion Server in the purchased tab, but neither "Install" button actually worked (error 500).

To their credit, they refunded the purchases, but not without telling me in their ticket response that this is a very generous exception they are making this one time and that all app store purchases are final.

I guess they are just not quite there where they should be to sell an OS over only electronic means.

The problem must be on Apple's side anyway. I was lucky and only got charged trice and I did not use Paypal, just my App Store account.
I hope to get extra charges back without doing anything, because technically money are still on my CC account just "frozen". After some time they are "unfrozen" automatically if merchant does not claim them. I see Apple already took it's share (I had three entries with the same amount, now only two are left) so the rest should stay in the account and be unfrozen in a few days.
Still not funny.

Slightly similar to this: I recently jailbroke my iPad 2 and installed a cracked application through installous. When you do that, legitimate updates to your cracked applications appear in the app store. Somehow, through some sort of bug, I was actually charged for the app when I accidentally clicked "update all" in the app store. It never asked me for my password (possibly because I had input it recently enough) or asked for a confirmation on the purchase. I didn't even notice it had been purchased until the iTunes receipt came in my email the next day.
And how many of those 50% have actually tried Google+?

At date I believe Google+ has around 30 million users and Facebook has 800 million+

How is this study possibly even close to relevant? I joined Google+ about 2 weeks ago and haven't even gotten used to their interface!

I am so damn tired of nonsense surveys without any form of significant or scientific basis.

Also; I believe that 70% of all Google+ users and Facebook users are likely to join iFriends.com (surveyed from Apple users)
Can anyone give a tl;dr summary of what this brings to the table that languages like, say, Erlang (or even Verilog/VHDL if you want to go down that far and specific) don't have?

Actually, arresting them is next to worthless. Does the oodles of cash spent each year pursuing, prosecuting, jailing, fining, policing and enforcing vandalism cases result in decreased vandalism? Boredom is a social problem, no amount of enforcement will reduce bored kids desire to break stuff. If anything, drawing attention to Anonymous only attracts more people to it.
... TBH if only 50% of users in the current primary demographic (PC Mag) are interested... that might not be a good result for Google+ at all...
502 it went through, 504 try once more.

It really gets on my nerves when I see cases like this and the responses that follow. As you have pointed out, you have no special skills to be able to recognise con artists or criminals. As this is the case with most people, how would having further private information on the guest help you to make a different judgement.

Unless we start talking criminal background checks, you are no safer than before. If anything it gives a false sense of security, which might make you less likely pursue further avenues of safeguarding. Of course criminal background checks are a completely stupid idea. I'm sure many good natured people would be hesitant to put this level of info in the hands of someone they don't know.

The truth is though even criminals can get credit cards, debit cards and any other method of verification you can think of. So that info doesn't really help. Worse still they can use fraudulent information just as easily. What do you do now? You also have to remember those opportunistic types, you know the person who has never really done anything wrong, but for whatever reason at that moment they are compelled to break the law or behave in a manner they normally wouldn't.

In a society that is mostly good, we have the police the courts, the law and prisons, to deal with bad people. You can not really on airbnb to provide you with a definitive solution to this problem, if they did then they should be running the country. Nor should you expect them to put systems in place that violate the rights of the majority, or systems that provide a false sense of security. The best they can ever do is provide you with support and advice on preventative measures.

Your safety should still be your top concern. You should not be relying on another to provide it for you.
I don't get it though. I made a reservation through AirBNB, and while you can't explicitly exchange emails or phone numbers, there are many, MANY ways by which this can be circumvented ("I am <firstname>.n at the Googol's email service", or "you can check me out as 'shr1k' on Twittr")

Since I was the potential tenant, I went out of my way to ensure that the landlord could check me out in whatever manner possible before coming to a conclusion one way or another. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume the landlord would want this too?

Not to be the nitpicker, but since I work at this very campus (and worked at main MS campus for 8 years) I'll share my opinion.

In all essentials this campus is light years ahead of MS. From the public WiFi for Androids & iPhones, to on-campus gym, floor plan maps on every corner, available conference rooms with VC equipment, laptop power bricks in conference rooms, espresso machines, actually drinkable tea, tech support staff on site and godzillion other tiny details it's easier to work on this campus in so many aspects each and every work day.

Since there are only three buildings next to each other is seems not much effort went into inter-building navigational aids (doors are labeled, but clearly it's not enough), may be we can do better. Visitor parking has no cover on MS campus as well, it's pretty much common to have it this way.

And, btw, after having a chance to compare, I think our cafe is better than most of MTV cafes.

> Google had a working search engine and they were building their own hardware with less than 100 employees. Just not sure what Dropbox can do with 400+ since their product is a lot simpler and they're not dealing with datacenters

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the 400 people will be for building our their own storage system. I'm willing to bet most of their operating cost is storage and I believe they currently use S3 which is very expensive. Unless they can get some great prices from Amazon, they will certainly at some point build their own storage system in order to scale up.

The problem with /r/atheism is not that it is full of pushy atheists. The problem is that it is full of pushy atheists with stupid arguments. There is an extensive body of sophisticated, logical, and convincing arguments for atheism from some of the deepest thinkers Man has produced. You won't find those on /r/atheism. Instead, you find naive and trivial arguments.
And how many of those 50% have actually tried Google+?

Not that I agree with these results, as I doubt that the sample chosen was significant.

But you should really do some reading on how statistics work.

Lack of effects of guanfacine on executive and memory functions in healthy male volunteers.
Müller U, Clark L, Lam ML, Moore RM, Murphy CL, Richmond NK, Sandhu RS, Wilkins IA, Menon DK, Sahakian BJ, Robbins TW.

Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EB, UK. um207@cam.ac.uk

RATIONALE: Guanfacine is an alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that has been shown to have beneficial effects on working memory and attentional functions in monkeys and in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to further investigate the cognitive-enhancing properties of guanfacine using an established battery of tasks measuring executive and memory functions. METHODS: Sixty healthy male volunteers were randomised into three groups. Cognitive testing was performed from +2 to +4 h after double-blind administration of a single oral dose of 1 or 2 mg of guanfacine or placebo. RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure was significantly reduced by both doses of guanfacine at the end of the testing session. There were no statistically significant effects on any of the cognitive measures. Two trend effects were observed with poorer performance on digit span backward and slower 'Go' reaction times after guanfacine. CONCLUSION: This study found no improvement of prefrontal memory or executive functions after guanfacine. Negative effects on blood pressure and trend effects on digit span backward and go reaction time indicate a mild sedative effect of guanfacine at these doses, possibly via mechanisms of autoreceptor down-regulation.
