A journalist misstates the scope of the interview, asks aggressive questions about an issue that has accumulated a lot of emotions ("save the children!") and then posts out-of-context blurbs? This isn't exactly new but still worth remembering whenever someone asks you for an interview.

People read something on CNN or NYTimes and think it must actually be true. The assumption is that stories are thoroughly fact checked and are free from any significant bias.

Once you've seen firsthand just how biased and intentionally misleading they can be you will see how fundamentally flawed their model is.

You shouldn't trust what Soledad O'Brien says just because she happens to work at CNN. Even the best of these organizations don't do enough to maintain the standards that would be necessary for you to trust everyone who works for them.

Hopefully in the future journalists will live and die by their own reputations, and not get to hide behind the power of "trusted" brands. The system as it is causes great harm to individuals, companies, and the world at large.

Just look at what certain people were able to do by leveraging the power of trusted news sources in the lead up to the the Iraq war. A few corrupt individuals were able to abuse the public's trust to push an agenda based on lies.

On a much smaller scale this is what Soledad O'Brien is doing to Arrington. She had an angle for a story and she did what was necessary to cast him as the bad guy. It's an unfair abuse of power and trust -- power and trust that she clearly doesn't deserve.
I am the cofounder of a startup that builds an iOS/iPod/iPad POS Ambur, and it's absolutely astonishing to me to see people claim Square is doing anything useful for merchants.

Their software is far too simplistic for anyone running more than a very basic coffee shop with tech savvy customers to use. Even something as simple as most customers demand paper receipts, and Square's functionality is taking basic orders, one a time, with no conception of any business analysis functions. That does not cut it for any business bigger than a small coffee or retail shop, where customers pay and are served instantaneously. no matter how cheap Square is, or how many brilliant designers they hire, they're not going to get into businesses bigger than this without expanding what they're doing.

They really, really, need to launch a platform for people like us to innovate on. We're young, forward-thinking, and as an ex-restaurant employee I know how much CC companies and traditional POS companies screw businesses.

We're trying to change that on the POS side, and I desperately wish Square would be less egotistical and let us use them to change the payment side. It would be tremendous for them, because it lets POS companies solve adoption for them, instead of them trying to engineer 1000 solutions for 1000 different types of business, and let's them focus on their core compotency - beautifully designed software for consumers.

Interesting asymmetry: if A calls B a racist, the onus of proof is on B to defend themself, and the standard for innocence is so high that this is usually impossible. B's reputation is usually besmirched.

If A calls B a socialist or communist, however, then the burden of proof is on A to prove the charge, and the standard for guilt is so high that this is usually impossible. In this case it is A's reputation that is usually besmirched.

We live in an era of racial McCarthyism. It's all the more strange as the most powerful man in the world is black, and Arrington most likely voted for him. Strange kind of racist that does that. Strange kind of "institutional racism" that keeps blacks down in Silicon Valley yet gets the majority of the country (and the Valley) to vote for Obama as president.

Shuttleworth is trying to gain some of this advantage for Ubuntu.

It might seem dictatorial, but I think he's got a point .. if Ubuntu is going to innovate and create differentiation from other OSs it needs to change. An element of faith is needed to allow that change to occur.
Then why doesn't somebody clue in Adobe, Ableton, Epic Games, Pixar, Valve, Google etc and get them to abandon their wicked C++-loving ways? If what you say is true in general then you could save a lot of the brightest engineers in the world a lot of headache.
Newt Now
As a founder of new POS system company (Ambur iPad POS), I just don't see this as true. Most of the bigger POS companies might have reasons to maintain the status quo, but mobile touch devices are literally revolutionizing the industry, because it means there's opportunity for small players to build systems on commodity touch hardware, designing software that's actually easy to use and reasonably priced.

Square needs to allow other POS vendors to use their APIs to truly conquer this space. Their system is currently woefully inadequate for anyone except small businesses with literally no need to do anything except charge a customer right away, without any paper receipts. That limits their business market to essentially small coffee shop or retail vendors with technologically advanced customers. That's a...small market, to be polite.
Yeah I would love to see more of this type of analysis. It's really revealing and interesting.
Seems quite reasonable.

I sell a white label version of one of my products (Twiddla), with an API for integrating it into your site. From time to time I field requests from people who want to build their thing on top of our platform, asking if we do consulting.

I tell them yes, then quote what it would take to build what they want and 90% of them have a heart attack on the spot.

"But we have this quote from another developer saying he can do the whole thing for $1,500!"

I don't doubt it. But then I suspect his dev didn't build Twiddla. I did, so I charge accordingly. I recommend having your own team do your integration since really it's quite straightforward, but if you really need it to work right and you need it fast, you can go straight to the source (but it'll cost you.)

It's the same thing with Oracle. Sure you can find a guy to build your thing for $25/hr, and chances are he'll probably even do a good job. But if you want to remove all the "probably's" from that sentence you can pay 10x as much and have Oracle do it for you.

And they are building a platform. They will likely to open it up sooner rather than later too, they just can't take on CC companies alone.

I hadn't thought about Google in this sense.
The way I remember the net is a big bad mess of ugly websites and then Google came along and they changed search. And they changed Email. They changed advertising. Think of how many more ugly flash ads there would have been without Google. And yes that built affection for the brand. Taking risks is awesome. Shipping crappy products not so much.

Let's assume for a while that Arrington was really racist and that it was common in the whole tech industry.

As a journalist, would you approach him openly saying you intend to study racism in the tech industry or would you rather approach him under a general angle and gather what you can in the process?

The second approach has a lot of value because Arriginton talked without the "racism" topic in mind, which could underline latent racism quite well.

Now, it's easy to use the wrong word, etc..

I suggest people who have never experienced racism as a victim to go abroad for a while and get the chance to reflect on their own behaviours. I personally find that the small everyday words that nobody notices are the most difficult to deal with because loud words and fights are easy to discard as the products of some odd minds.

Now, racism in tech? Of course, just like anywhere else. No more no less. Arrington, a racist? He wouldn't be the first nor the last.

There are figures though backing the representation of blacks in the tech world. Those figures are that of education in the US [I'm sure you'll find them]. The correlation is so obvious that the journalist barely deserves her title.

Perhaps the whole US system is a bit racist. Not a delusional Nazi-style racism, just a little latent racism. The kind of racism that makes a part of the population a little less comfortable everyday.

But eh. So is the whole world.

PS: I'm sorry for the rather personal tone and the emotions out there.

Almost 100 comments, and no one mentions Bitcoin. I'm surprised.

Seems to me this same app could be built for Bitcoin, and you could eliminate or reduce the 2.75% service fee. Or you could make it 1% and give it back to the purchaser in the form of points (like credit cards).

Bitcoins could be instantly converted to cash, for a fraction of that fee (about 0.6% using a Bitcoin exchange).
Sorry, it seems the RAM is indeed stacked on top of this chip, it's not built in.

A malicious cashier could order things in your name, whenever you were nearby.

This might not happen much in practice, because the cashier would be found out later (assuming they must login). However, the opportunity doesn't arise with existing transactions, where you must physically hand something over (cash/card), and usually get an opportunity to verify the amount, so there's no evidence either way. It will be interesting to see if this is actually a real issue, in practice, in the current roll-out.

Many, many cash-alternatives have been tried and failed, but this one has a new technology (iPhone geofencing) and smart founders. If it does work, they could quickly revolutionize cash - globally (not to mention be the killer-app for the iPhone).
Forgive me, I probably have a very superficial understanding of what you do, and additionally I get all the Australian "Cloud" server providers confused.

I thought you were mostly doing the Citrix Cloud.com platform (which manages most of the setup you discuss), on Xen hypervisors.

I'm not discounting the engineering effort here, and I'm sure there is something I's missing.

Disclaimer -> I work for a (very) indirect competitor.

Edit: further discussion makes it clear you have built your own storage platform. That is innovative, but isn't exactly clear from your website.

Yahoo Rolls out Social TV Companion App Intonow onto Ipad
I am an irregular Linux user and am not deeply involved in the Ubuntu community, but over the past several months I have seen the general attitude of "random geeks" change dramatically with regards to Ubuntu. A year ago the standard response to a new user inquiring about Linux was "install Ubuntu, it's easy, there's lots of help available. Go get 'em tiger." Now, Ubuntu is usually spoken of with a kind of regretful contempt. I didn't much care for it myself, but Ubuntu used to be the public face of Linux, the thing 95% of the Windows/OSX users hit if they get interested in Linux. As far as I can tell, it's fallen out of the good graces of the power user community. It appears as if Ubuntu has decided to forsake the early adopters and power users in favor of the newbies and average Joes. That may be well and good on principle but I don't see it as a strategy capable of sustaining an OS ecosystem that doesn't come preinstalled on Dick and jane's new laptop.
The DRM is what's stopped me from buying a Kindle so far. But for a lending service like this it wouldn't bother me much...

I came across contracts some time ago and found it very appealing and inspiring, but for all my professional projects I am successfully using my own library schema.js ( https://github.com/akidee/schema.js ) - you can use it in pure JavaScript, too.
(Usually I do not validate forms on the client-side, since the data must be validated on the server-side anyway. And with schema.js, you can add custom localized error messages.)
Furthermore, schema.js has several modes that allow tolerant adaptation of values, so that they can be casted. "5", for example, is casted to 5. But you can switch to strict validation mode as well.
You can do everything, that contracts allows, with schema.js, too.
The best is that, with JSON schema, 1) you define secure validations, since with the default properties you do not forget important constraints, and 2) you do not need to test your validators any more.
Conclusion: I agree that such features must make it to the core of a language. Probably you can find some useful ideas in JSON schema and schema.js. I found the JSON vocabulary to be very useful to validate JS data.
Perhaps document was the wrong term. I think that 'content' (either via creation, management or consumption) is central to all we do with a computer. I think that a successful UI would focus on this fact.
While it may not always be the case (Aunt Betsy's Blog) in some cases the name of a blog may be a branded logo -- a good example of a bad example would be Techcrunch.
Well, they're not doing voice so Twilio still has that advantage. Also, support is likely to be much better with a startup than with the huge behemoth.

However, Amazon has the footprint to get you worldwide delivery. Twilio just arrived in (parts of) the EU, but that's a temporary advantage. Also, there's that 0.75c charge. That's already a 0.25% saving and Amazon have a habit of reducing the price whenever possible.

Twilio et al will likely focus on better service, more features, easier signup and use.
