I'll wait for more evidence that making it super duper clear that you can cancel significantly improves conversion.

Now this doesn't mean that cancellation may be a non-significant factor. I just think that it is more of a macro factor than a micro one that can be done right on just your own site and be expected to have an impact. If the last three sites the user signed up on had shitty cancellation, your text promising ease of cancelation is undoubtful to convince them. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have it; it does mean you should manage expectations in terms of it's influence on conversion rate.
You do realize the consequences if they had ruled opposite of what they did--that a movie made by a corporation was not protected speech covered by the first amendment.

Books, movies, magazines, television, radio, and many websites, would no longer be protected under the first amendment, and would be open to government regulation and censorship.

>I've never seen anyone claim that copyright was to protect distributors.

Then I guess you have not been in this discussion for very long, or never paid attention. The fact is, copyright was never meant for creators. It was invented by distributors for distributors. The first copyright law was a censorship law to limit the amount of books printed when the printing press was was getting widely available in England that gave a total monopoly on publishing to a guild of publishers, without even attributing a book to the original author, but instead to the guild member who registered the book, attaining its newly invented "copyright".

You know what's the funniest thing about this? The content industry hails this as a stepping stone for authors and their rights, and what's worse, the public believes them. It's a lie, simple as that. Authors never asked for copyright. There was no collective push to stop the copying of their works. On the contrary, they wanted their works to be read.

The internet has made copyright obsolete. Moreso, it has made it harmful, and it needs to go away. The internet's here to stay. Copyright, by any means, isn't.

How To Sell Silver Online
Sounds about like the US -- in King Co, WA anyway (a few years back), it cost about 9.1% to sell a house. There was 6% for the agents, and some handful of taxes and stuff for the other 3%. It's not that bad for the buyers though, as the seller pays most of the big stuff.

Surprisingly, indeed. My experience with twitter is that it's not a very good communication medium, let alone a community-building one. You can follow "the right people" all you want, but without being followed, the conversation is rather one-sided.
My understanding is that the site was always responsible for the usage quota. The calls made (even on the client side) technically is made by the website, so the limit applies to the website.
If requests come from the end user and not the site (as you mention), very few people would hit that limit and it would not be a concern.

I thought most countries had these types of privacy laws in place.

Way back in the dim early days of my career I remember working on privacy projects so people could get all of the information held by a company.

IIRC the rule was you were allowed to request, but the company was also allowed to charge a reasonable fee to collect and supply the data. I also recall the law didn't say anything about making the company delete the data, just that you had to be able to provide all of it back to the person if they asked for it.
It's interesting, I recently realized that the word "work" in Russian is just a derivative from "slave". Also interestingly enough, the word "slave" in english has its roots from "slavs" - people who populated the area of contemporary European Russia and were often enslaved.

Facebook isn't evil. Perhaps they're a bit naïve, thinking that
storing all this data is ok, but it might not be.

Whenever Max' story comes up, someone usually comments that using
Facebook is completely voluntarily, and people should just not use it
if it bothers them what kind of data Facebook collects and how it uses
them.

Whether or not it's voluntary is completely besides the point here.

First of all, as gerggerg mentioned in a comment here, it's not
voluntary if you don't know about it (i.e. what data Facebook collects
and what they do with it).

Second, if a company provides me with a service, I expect them to do
it in accordance with the law. So, when Facebook provides us with
their services, I really don't see why I shouldn't be able to request
the information that Max has requested from them. It is actually my
right to use their service, and then ask them to provide me with the
data they have stored about me. Of course, Facebook will also expect
to run their service in accordance with the law, and be ready to hand
over data when it's requested.

It's not like this is something we Europeans suddenly pulled out of a
hat, and I'm sure Facebook knew about it. Any company that decides to
open offices in another country will of course take time to learn
about laws that affect their business. We've had laws for this for a
while, actually, and we learn about how we can request our personal
data from companies in school (at least I did).

But don't feel bad for the companies that have to comply to this law -
it's not like all they do is sit around providing data to people
requesting it. Most people don't actually request it!

There's also, as I understand it, the matter of how Greece was permitted to join the Eurozone with, shall we say, overly optimistic economic reports that were blindly accepted under a set of rules that would warm a sub-prime lender's heart.

The app did sit in review for quite some time, according to a quick look at their blog. Either the interpreter is implemented entirely in JavaScript and Webkit (it's not terribly speedy), or Apple is now comfortable enough with Lua to let something like this fly.

Either way, it's really great that there's an app like this for the iPad.

Edit: After poking around the app package, it looks like a real Lua interpreter rendered inside a EAGLView, and not some WebKit/Javascript hack.

The other week, I heard a developer talking about one of these "amazing shit we pulled with CSS" examples and excitedly tried his hand at a few inspirations of his own. (Sadly, they didn't go further than his own machine.)

Later, as he was working on a new feature, he realized he could achieve a particular effect without any images for a slight improvement in performance (fewer requests and all that). That achievement came because of the experimentation he did a week earlier.

I think there can be a lot of value in experimenting for the sake of experimenting. It's part of the fun of coding. Aside from the potential morale benefits, sometimes the experimentation leads to useful inspirations that make it to production.

They didn't have anything internal that had suitable features or quality to sell to the public so they built AWS using the knowledge they'd acquired from building those internal tools. I don't think that's out of the spirit of "sell your byproducts".

Also, in response to pg's post below, Amazon has increased its usage of AWS substantially in the last few years. The main website primarily runs on AWS, many individual services have been migrating to AWS, and S3 is heavily used internally for static storage. It wouldn't surprise me if Amazon was running 100% on AWS within the next few years. Or, you know, so I hear from rumors... <_<

Ultimately I believe apple is responsible for this feature not being included, but the rumour of it being Apple's request is probably not the full picture (or even accurate). Apple is known to approach companies that are likely to infringe on what Apple believes to be their IP, a recent example that came to light was a meeting between Steve Jobs and Samsung executives.

It's clear Google will not (and never were) going to heed any directions given by Apple. Apple probably did approach google about it, but I suspect it's likely that Google held back on the feature due to potential legal ramifications of including the feature. (Remembering here that Google originally entered the market as a phone provider.)

I'm currently involved in research regarding DNA methylation in mice. Epigenetic modification is really interesting and still not very well understood insofar as how the response occurs. These methylation changes may also occur as a response to other environmental stresses later in life as well as childhood, and other epigenetic modifications may be passed to offspring. We should see some very interesting discoveries that change our current ideas of heritability and response to environmental stimuli in the next few years as we're able to better detect the epigenetic factors in a cost effective manner.

Epigenetics is a really exciting area of Biology right now as studies begin to investigate the causes and consequences of DNA methylation. It seems that, after all these years, Lamarck may be due for some credit!

It should be noted, however, that this is not the only memory mechanism available to the cell. Gene expression, microRNA expression and protein modification can all act as switches (and thus memory) that place the cell in some discrete state. They're fairly transient and non-inheritable though.
You're right about the current generation of programmers, but there might be more to it than "kids are lazy these days". Those programmers don't know much about system programming and assembly but they know about Java/C#, Python/Ruby/Perl/PHP, JavaScript, CSS, Unix command line tools, Windows, maybe a GUI toolkit or two, etc. The software world has been building layers of abstractions over the years to accelerate development of richer applications and it's just natural that we find more people working at higher level of abstractions today than before.
