Unless its a company that generates content on a timely basis. In that case it's possible the reverse is true. Once the platform is up and running the programmer is not needed as much as the designer.

It's all about context.

Every company is different and the proper number of programmers to designers will depend on the needs of the company.

If a company reaches a point that it doesn't need as many of one side, then there's a chance it's close to not needing as many on the other. But if the company wishes to grow then chances are they will still need both.

2000 seems like a large number, until you realize that you have to compare it to the mindbogglingly large number that is the surface area of the ocean. He may as well pissed in it for all the harm he did.
Totally agree.

In my opinion, the problem of separation of data and presentation won't be solved by markup or CSS.

If a Web page is to contain data and a service wants to act on this data, it has to scrape the Web page. Which is even harder with scripted pages. But scraping data isn't a solution. The semantic web may try to have web developers bring sense to data on a web page, but the problem remains. It's just a markup patch. It's doesn't define how to act on that data. Web Intents are just another patch to markup to bring verbs.

Direct access to the data sources with well define methods to act on that data and interact with it (instead of using form) is what works today through APIs. What doesn't work is that there aren't a lot of open standards APIs. Most well used APIs are proprietary and Facebook's a good example. I believe standard bodies should put their brains and efforts on defining API standards. Some standards APIs some clunky, are in use in B2B in the back ends but there's not much of it on the consumer facing Web. We must move forward to push separation of presentation, data and verbs for the whole Web, one small step at a time.

If most use cases on the Web used standard APIs, we would have true separation of content and presentation. We would even have the verbs to exchange/create understandable content. Then, you can use HTML/CSS to adapt a UI to any device with true separation.

That's the way we build apps and sites today and with standard, it would pave the way to a more exciting future.

So one day, if I want to have my own customized UI for that new holographic/gesture recognition device to shop with my preferred merchants, I just have to build an app and I'll be able to browse their merchandise, sort it like I want and finalize a transaction without even visiting their Web site.

That's not coincidental, the modern compulsory school system is designed to create 3 things: nations, worker drones, and soldiers, and pretty much in that order of priority.

Read the 6 lesson school teacher by John Taylor Gatto.
http://hackvan.com/etext/6-lesson-schoolteacher.html

excerpt:

I teach the lesson of dependency. Good people wait for a teacher to tell them what to do. This is the most important lesson of all, that we must wait for other people, better trained than ourselves, to make the meanings of our lives. It is no exaggeration to say that our entire economy depends upon this lesson being learned. Think of what would fall apart if kids weren't trained in the dependency lesson: The social-service businesses could hardly survive, including the fast-growing counseling industry; commercial entertainment of all sorts, along with television, would wither if people remembered how to make their own fun; the food services, restaurants and prepared-food warehouses would shrink if people returned to making their own meals rather than depending on strangers to cook for them. Much of modern law, medicine, and engineering would go, too - the clothing business as well - unless a guaranteed supply of helpless people poured out of our schools each year. We have built a way of life that depends on people doing what they are told because they don't know any other way. For God's sake, let's not rock that boat!

I must own the last LCD in the universe with a matte screen. The primary light source of my room is behind me and I never ever have glare problems. Every laptop these days seems to have a glossy screen on it for the purpose of high contrast. But either you're inside and you don't need that much contrast (i.e. you turn the brightness control down), or you're outside and you get glare. I can think of few cases where glossy screens are superior.

There will be many causes for Wikileaks' death (if in fact it does in fact die). None more damaging though than the damage Wikileaks did to itself. Leaving unredacted the names of informants who were later executed for providing the very information Wikileaks posted clinched its fate IMO.

But it seems to me you are assuming again. You are assuming how they are using the device. With Nintendo's products you are not assuming, you know what they are using it for.

I don't think I'm getting my point across very well. I'm not disputing that a large number of people use their iOS devices for gaming, which is good.

I'm just saying that you cannot necessarily compare two devices on a 1-to-1 basis using sales numbers if the two devices are not comparable 1-to-1 in their usage. The iOS devices are versatile in nature and are suitable for multiple tasks. It's not proper to compare every single sale of an iOS device against every single sale of Nintendo's products. You can make estimates and guesses but I don't feel a 1-to-1 comparison can be made nor be fair.

To make a comparison like this I'd rather know the numbers of game titles sold per device. That comparison works for me because the purpose of buying the game is to play it, nothing else.

All your points are subjective.
First - I think just general manners, as well as established protocol, would have the security researcher let Apple know ahead of time what he would be doing. A simple email sent prior to uploading this code would have been sufficient to cover his bases - I'm surprised he didn't do that.

Second - Unless I'm mistaken - his proof of concept was more a violation of Apples TOU, it didn't really attempt to copy credit card numbers, or snoop on users calls - so, in that sense, it wasn't an exploit.

Net-Net - nobody comes out of this looking good, but Apple makes it clear that they are prepared to back up the language of their Developer TOU with actions.

I liked what it tried to do. It seems to be a work in progress. The social medial sharing is just to get the message across.
Working for a company and having a good salary could be really nice. You come home, you get to actually relax for the 6 hours of whatever you have every day. That may not seem like a lot, but it's a lot more than you get when you have your own business.

Think about it... Being able to fully relax and not think about your work. It's how we were meant to live.

If you're a professional with a marketable skill, then you don't even have to worry about if your employer goes out of business, because you'll just find another job. There's a lot of freedom in that. You can live out your entire life this way. How can you blame anybody who chooses to live this way?

But I'm one of those people who doesn't think that 6 hours of freedom every day is enough. I'm going to work until I can have the entire weekday to myself, without answering to anybody.

What streaming protocols do browsers support for WebM
Dear HN,

Any ideas on what protocols browsers support for streaming <video>?

I have seen only video tags of the form
<video src=http://server/video.webm>
which implies to me http running over tcp, which suffers from backoff and retransmit in response to packet drop

I had assumed there would be a way to use real streaming protocols (ie rtp/rtsp/rtmp) instead
but the HTML5 spec doesn't say anything about it

Also setting up a streaming server and trying to connect by each browser has not proved straightforward.

For what it's worth, my results are that streaming protocols never work with the <video> tag. I am asking the community in case I am mistaken

Many Thanks
You cannot yourself with Xcode install the very same signed "Distribution" binary that you submit to the App Store. The closest you can get is one signed for "Ad Hoc" distribution, but even those binaries interact with the OS differently than a "Distribution" binary. In-app purchasing, for example, differs between the two.

That said, this guy broke the legal agreement that we partly rely on for trusted computing in iOS. He can be thankful if he doesn't get sued, and he should have gone about it differently if not willing to face the minimal consequences of violating the legal agreement.

Certainly. It's really laughable that people put Wikileaks at the same level as the NYT. Really. You might recall not too long ago, a Wikileak cofounder took off and decided to destroy all the data he had beyond recovery. What happened after that then? Nothing. Imagine if a NYT editor did something of similar magnitude.

Belloc's "The Servile State" can be found at:
http://www.archive.org/details/servilestate00belluoft

Belloc's view was that usually in class warfare the wealthy will win. I don't agree with all the religious nuance, but I have to say the look at ancient and medieval history is surprisingly good from an economic perspective.

"I think overall technological change can lead to widespread social empowerment, but the most politically entrenched workers with the loudest voices are those who are least likely to benefit from it."

Maybe. I think everyone tries to use it. However, I think we are at a point now where the real power in the newer high tech approaches is the power to decentralize both decision making and production. As you say, the kid in India, or the guy in rural America who starts a small business, not the factory worker.

But this is another reason why I say that in these economic times, jobs are the problem, not the solution.

Cool idea. I'd use music not associated with a show like Lost. I couldn't relax; was thinking about unanswered Lost questions the whole time...
As far as wealth redistribution, we've had two great successes with this in the US. The first was the Homestead Act which helped many Americans escape poverty in order to become smallholding farmers.

The second was WWII and the GI bill which constituted the greatest downward transfer of wealth in US history, and created the huge, stable, Middle Class that has survived well up until recently. The New Deal was at most just icing on the cake (and I think actually destructive to the overall trends). The wages of war, the draft, and the on-going benefits were where the real successes were.
It took me a few tries to remember your website. Codecedemy, Codemy, Codeacademy, codecademy. Hopefully a useful data point.

By market forces I mean supply and demand. And you have correctly noted that these have a secondary role in CEO pay negotiations. Instead, it's a question of power and indifference. Where does this power come from? It stems from the fact that the board with which the future CEO is negotiating consists of inside and outside officers. This means that he is negotiating with future subordinates (inside officers) and executives who might want to become the CEO of a company where this future CEO has a seat on the board. Who would openly try to lower the salary of their future boss, the same person they will have to talk to about their own pay raises? So, the board does not really have an incentive to push for the true market rate of the CEO, unless they are major shareholders, but usually lots of incentives not to do so.

> We'd have no need of minimum wage laws because anyone anywhere could turn down a job offer.

And right now janitors can't turn down job offers? I don't understand. How does a self-employed janitor have more power? I think you greatly overestimate the advantages of being self-employed, and underestimate the downsides.
Good idea. A quiet place (with lost music) and anti-social media (with sharing buttons at the end). Hopefully, the irony is intentional.

Makes me wonder if the desire to optimize UI/UX and the viral loop will keep shortening our attention spans. It's a prisoner's dilemma where we're better off in the short run but worse off in the long run because we can no longer process longer form thoughts.
That's a good question (not sarcasm, it might come off that way). I actually do have a small investment yet I never planned on exercising any control and only control a trivial number of shares. There's a fair bit of academic debate on these theories of control and how shareholders relate to companies.

Personally I think there's a lot of freeloading off the small group of big players that do exercise control. I have a certain amount of faith that they won't vote in a way that's seriously adverse to my interests as a little fish.
>Why spend $149.99 on a Biology textbook that only has 3 chapters you need?

Unfortunately, that's not how textbooks are written. Unlike music albums, where an artist invent 1, 2 or even 3 good songs, and then must fill the album with lesser songs, most chapters in a textbook are needed.

Further, chapters of a textbook are often related or dependent on each other; it's doesn't make much sense to buy selected chapters from textbooks.

I disagree with point (1) and only somewhat agree with point (2).

For point 1 - I definitely don't like rules, and I have found that if you create enough value, you get away with making your own rules and can come very close to having a feeling of running your own business.

For point 2 - in the high tech industry, you can make as much, or more, income without the uncertainty of self employment/own business. Running a business is HARD. I tried it, for many years, and ultimately failed (well, I failed financially, but learned a hell of a lot - so not a complete failure). Perhaps I was in the wrong business, but I simply didn't enjoy the non-technical aspects of it, which consume the majority of your time. The ROI wasn't there - not for me. Not every business is going to make you rich - in fact, most of them will not. I can't say I've given up permanently, but I have gone back to the corporate world for now and do not regret it. I disagree with the job stability portion of this point - you have ZERO job stability when you work for someone else. I firmly believe you have more stability working on your own than for a vast majority of companies. The concept of job security is a false sense of security.
Most sites use an HTML page to launch a JS-driven app because HTML as a presentation medium is not as responsive and lack the UX elegance that one can achieve with Javascript. It's simply a technology stack that works better at solving the job.

The main problem is that everyone is reinventing the wheel to deliver that kind of experience with custom JS code that augments the DOM in different ways. If browsers and the W3C worked out a way to deliver a similar UX over something standardized that browsers, crawlers and other consumers of the web could rely on, that would get used.

Old cell phone donations are a moral way to use old cell phones
Our act to preserve our earth can be started from our offices and homes. Quickly growing electronic waste has got concern worldwide at the most. And as a result of growing demands of our planet we are facing environmental challenges. Average life span of any electronic item say cell phones is near about eighteen to 24 months. Hence creating a huge dump of used cell phones. Developing a clean and secure method as the act of recycling has helped reclaiming valuable materials for reuse purpose. It has also addressed various pressing world's environmental chances.

No, they're not. There are Apple-published UI guidelines, there are decades of User Interface research, and there are time-motion studies to back what I'm saying.

I think you are missing the fact that a good document really needs three things:

1) Data (RDF, NoSQL, RDBMS, etc)

2) Structural presentation (i.e. what HTML or LaTeX provides) and

3) Presentation to the user (i.e. what CSS or macro packages in LaTeX provide)

To get from 1 to 2, you have to have some logic. You could do it with Javascript acting against RDF and HTML, I suppose. Or you could do it with XSLT. However there's no inherent guarantee that inherent data structure will in any way match your document structure and so these are really separate concerns.

This is why HTML template systems are so important for web programming.
Your passion is commendable. I'll not go into the "a <li> is more semantic and accessible than a <td>" debate.

I'll just say that 1) display:table-cell doesn't work in IE6/7 and 2) CSS's limitations make it annoying or impossible to achieve functionality that was easy with table layouts (eg mixing percentage widths with fixed widths, and vertical aligment).

I think Google is attempting to be brilliant, but I think it will cause them lots of problems in the longrun. Right now, a lot of people who want to visit pepsi.com just go to Google, type in "pepsi", and assume pepsi.com will be the first result. Google seems to want to sidestep this and allow people to search for +Pepsi, which will take them straight to the product page for Pepsi.

So what happens when you have two companies that have the same name? A classic example of this is the problem that rose with Nissan.com. It was registered by a guy who's last name was Nissan, to promote his family's computer business, Nissan computers. Then the car company tried to sue them to kingdom come.

Bring this dynamic into Google Plus. You have two companies called Nissan, and they both want product pages. Do you let them both be "+Nissan", do you force them to be "+Nissan Cars" and "+Nissan Computers", or do you let one be "+Nissan" and one be "+Nissan Computers", based on trending and search results? Or do you let one pay you lots of money to be ranked above the other?

If this sounds familiar, it's because it's both a recreation of the phone book, as well as Yahoo before they turned portal. I sense Google will get away with paid ranking because "it's their product" and they don't have to deal with net neutrality issues.

My trust in Google just tanked even more.
