But don't you get the feeling this is the beginning of the end?

Obviously Adobe aren't going to abandon desktop or 'real' Flash without a viable alternative Adobe offer. After all plenty of industries are still highly dependent on Flash. Especially mine (online advertising). But my feeling is Adobe are developing a Flash author that outputs js/canvas seamlessly alongside a swf. Once we're all comfortable with that idea, then they abandon 'real' Flash.
> The problem here is that you think 'corrupted registry keys' means that the computer is unusable.

Well, this guy's computer threw errors when he tried to install an app. "Unusable", no, just shitty. I would call that broken, but as you demonstrate, Windows apologists have always had lower standards.

> We're in 2011, no-one should have to know what 'engine oil change' means either, but someone still has to know how to do it.

That wouldn't be a very good argument if there was only one carmaker that made a car that required oil changes, while every other carmaker in the world had been selling perfectly functional no-oil-change-required cars since the 1990's.
OTOH, a person who gets relieved of $100 is not going to ask too many questions about how it happened, encouraging the "entrepreneur" to try again. Someone who lost $10,000 might lawyer up.
The original Counter-Strike is no longer actively developed is it? Yet, surprisingly, it seems to be ahead of Counter-Strike Source, the newest addition.
So you confirm my suspicion that this is all about competition and not about equality before the law.

The analogy is predicated on both parties wanting to break the law, one does, the other doesn't.

It is then up to the authorities to establish that the law was indeed broken and to decide to prosecute.

Filing a complaint about a competitor breaking a law that you yourself say you do not agree with looks pretty sleazy to me.

Everybody can deal with this in their own way, some will break the law some will abide by it. In the end it is up to the authorities to decide who to go after. Some of those may decide to sue the state and try to get the law rescinded or changed.

No need for tactics like these. If this was a principled matter than the amount of money should not matter. The fact that there is a lot of money at stake is why this was done, not because of some other concern.

Basically the government and a law perceived as unjust by all parties involved are used to attack a competitor.

The whole reason this law exists in the first place is because large companies have managed to lobby to get this law on the books, what better end result for them than that would be competitors use it to destroy each other?

From what I've read in blogs and The Lean Startup talking to the people you expect to use your product is the way to go. If you're selling an application for teachers aren't the teachers the people who will know if they'd use it (to an extent)?
One of Divvy's coolest features is you can build preset window positions and attach them to keyboard chords. So for me, cmd-shift-space brings up divvy then hitting 1 makes the app fill the window, 2 is upper left 2/3 of the screen, 3 is upper right 2/3 of the screen, etc -- I have 7 or 8 presets. Full keyboard control of window position is awesome. It's the best $13 I've ever spent.

retailmenot also claims a $20% code, so that will knock some money off. But I happily paid retail and I use it 100 times a day. It's also particularly helpful if you use an external monitor at your desk and regularly resize windows as you attach or detach the monitor.

That's because control-A is supposed to select all on Windows.
I knew exactly what I was doing with Flash, it was not a deal with anyone. I desperately want to do cool stuff with standards, believe me I'm in some ways I want good standards more than self-proclaimed standards advocates (I've even drafted my own additions and changes to standards technology, and always worked to make my SWFs as well integrated with the standard as possible.)

And the thing that amazes me is the fact that when it comes to longevity, Flash has nothing to apologize for. I can view Flash 3 SWFs and they look exactly how I made them. HTML sites break and blow up in spectacular fashion within months sometimes. A new browser comes out and now your beautiful website looks like trash because something isn't rendered the same. Not always, but more often than I want to deal with (which would be never), and I never once had that problem with Flash.

Google's search homepage isn't an information-dense medium.

It's a fucking search dialog. It should be clear and simple.

Now: the search results pages should be informationally dense. And for the most part are (though I'm finding recent changes to be net negative).

Note that search engines which have gone in the direction of packing a shit-ton of distractions onto their homepages in a desperate move to chase "monitization" lose out -- look at Yahoo and Aol, virtually clones of one another at this point, as well as synonyms for Internet failure.
The realities of life are that at some point you're going to have to give out your personal information. From a fragment of that it's pretty easy to reconstruct the rest.

The only thing the internet really changes is using a browser vs. going down to the courthouse.

Finding a name, address and phone number are not really a big deal. Life is far better knowing lots of people than it is knowing a few people. My time is worth far more than anything I could hope to gain from tracking down someone who sends me email I don't want. I'd much rather just click the Spam button and get on interacting with the wonderful people in my life.

"OMG, someone on the internet found my name, address, and phone number. I don't know how I could go on living my life dealing with phone calls and mail, my life has been completely destroyed!"

If this person could put my name, phone number and address infront of every person on the planet I'd gladly pay for that service, it would be extremely valuable having 7 billion people know how to reach me.
IMO Flash is a great tool to develop a familiarity with certain useful concepts including frame based animation, tweening, basic programming and even OOP.

On this thought I left out the classic runtime because it was needed with either direction, my point was many at the time saw BeOS as the shorter path to a modern OS. Because NeXT needed and got a reworking from the ground up. It is now apparent that that was the plan all along but from the arm chair quarterbacks, back then it seemed like a foolish move, a fair percentage of Mac users back then where rooting for Be because it had almost mystical quality for the time, it was like Amiga in it's day. I am not saying Apple made the wrong decision, just that back then most people including myself could not understand the decision. If you can find any of the old Mac User or Macworld rags from that period there where articles and articles lamenting over how they could not choose such an advanced OS as Be.
I couldn't help but think of the first 'action' scene in this hilariously bad Tom Selleck movie, which involves a runaway harvesting robot:

I don't think getting into YC should impact your decision to move ahead with your startup. It should not matter. And you should assume you won't get funding and you will take longer than expected and you will be in debt. Then figure out how you will make it work... so when it happens, you won't feel like throwing up and getting a panic attack
While I like the idea of making it easier to keep parents up to date on their child's behaviour in class, I see tools like this as just another thing that detracts from actual teaching. Is there a real benefit to real-time communication from a class? In the end if a kid is acting up in class and their parents are informed immediately then the consequences of that are still delayed until the end of the day.

(Also the background image for your landing page is kinda creepy. Two-way mirror? Is that what schools are like over there? :)

I've observed this same issue among medical doctors. They see little coherent theory of the world, just a slew of results validated by clinical trials. Until you have a clinical trial to prove it, a fact falls squarely in the "unknown" category.

I once argued with a doctor about the possibility of cell phone and wifi radiation causing cancer. She couldn't even conceive of the argument I was making: infants are made of organic molecules at room temperature and we know from a large number of experiments how such molecules react to radiation. "But how do you know infants aren't more susceptible?"
"Level of discourse" and "content quality" are almost purely functions of the community. This means that there is no "HN model" that can be easily replicated unless you have an army of Paul Graham clones somewhere that can attract a similar community.

Augh! How do you make it stop?
This article describes an outdated process.

"Adjusting round corners for a button in photoshop is easier then[sic] adjusting border-radius in css"

Actually, in CSS it couldn't be more simple...
border-radius: 5px;

This makes me wonder if the author thinks we should be chopping images for rounded corners?

"This process is executed in a linear fashion starting with information and ending in code, but requires iteration loops at each step."

A good web design process is an active collaboration between designers and developers, not hand offs. I'm a firm believer that design should be coded early and often in order to uncover design issues that can't be detected on paper.

It's fine to break things out into steps, however, they should be iterated as a whole instead of individually. This way issues found in one step have a chance to feedback into previous steps.

This is like complaining "Why is so much spam email irrelevant to me?" If someone cold-calls you their business model is to churn through many people who are annoyed before they find one who hires them. The great recruiters aren't going to cold-call you. So there's a selection bias.

UPDATE (1/12/2011):
I received an email from Steve regarding this post. He sincerely apologized for his actions and realized now that what he did was wrong and simply asked that I modify the post to protect the identities of his family. I felt that this was a fair request, considering that his family had nothing to do with what Steve did and it doesn’t jeopardize the impact of the article. So, if you’re wondering why you’re seeing all the “[withheld]“‘s, that’s why!

PS – Yes, I realize the names are still shown in the images, but they’re not indexed by Google

It seems inevitable that all public information about people will become organized, and you just won't be able to keep secrets like this any more. Better than it be available to everyone than only to sneaky governmental agencies.
Designers love Flash because it gives you a canvas to express yourself on.

Standards do not. If you think it does, I would predict you aren't a designer, because there's a big difference between technical parity and realistic results.

I can concede that as a designer, I really don't care if HTML is technically better for some reason, I just want to have the freedom to do cool stuff, and that this is the tension between those are "Flash fanboys" and those who are Standards fanboys.
It is moronic that he thinks that informing cops about child porn on a computer he hacked would get him out of trouble, or get the pedophile in trouble - but the odds that a pedophile is going to call the police and complain about being hacked seem to be to be about where he puts them. He's not talking about "going after" the pedophile, he's talking about hacking the pedophile to have somebody to hack.

Out of curiosity, what possible laws did he break by going through a few public databases, facebook, whois data and google, and what does it have to do with computer forensics? I did this same type of thing to go after a 4chan-type troll who was attacking my blog a few years ago. and it was a joy to really effectively stop somebody who thought they were anonymous on the internet.
It seems so at least according to http://steamgraph.burstpixel.net/index.php

The thing that strikes me about all this "flash is dead" talk is that HTML 5 really isn't a sufficient replacement for Flash. It's not even close. I suspect people who say this haven't used either technology seriously, because I can do things in flash that are an order of a magnitude more performant -- and flash isn't even that good. (For the record, I greatly dislike most of flash. It's pretty much shocking that they've just now gotten around to supporting hardware graphics acceleration in a half decent manner.)

HTML 5 is a nice small step; but that's all it is, a SMALL step. If you want to kill flash (which you should), we need something better than this.
This is Dumb catching Dumber. Only the bottom of the barrel spammers in the year 2010 would use their real non-proxied IP address and a non-private WHOIS record. I would also point out that GeoIP does not point out the address of the person using an IP address, just their ISP (or whoever owns the ARIN block).

From the article:

Is Adobe still committed to Flex?

Yes.

Seems like putting "Flex is dead" in the title is too much editorializing.
Things that are bad for in the long run are a whole lot of fun immediately. Also, those tv show you mentioned aren't creating reality. They mirror it.
I don't care that native apps require work to install. We've already accepted that as a premise. What I'm saying is that web apps have setup costs too, and therefore saying you don't have to install them is disingenuous.

If all you require to get through the day is an online paint clone, a calculator, a clock/weather app and a game where you throw birds at pigs, more power to you - I'm glad you've been able to shave a few seconds off your day.
BeOS's idealism also held it back. They didn't want any ported apps; everything was supposed to be written from scratch. So no Mozilla, no Java, etc. Unfortunately, the BeOS market was never large enough to justify writing large native apps, so they just never happened.

His goal seems to be to keep the page from coming up on google searches on "Steve"'s families' names.
The css example is not the best one - the point is separating information, design and coding resources to streamline.

One of his better qualities is his attention to detail.
Everyone here seems to reject the argument outright. I agree we need crowdsourcing, but it needs to be done right.
Crowdfunding was once legal, this led to all sorts of scams and lots of elderly losing their retirements.
This is what led to the current SEC requirements of 1+M net worth accreditation and the 499 max investors cap.

It's definitely possible to do, BUT IT IS HARD. Here are some ways YOU as the entrepreneur could be in trouble:

* Think of the nightmare of having 1000+ investors in your startup.

* Every unhappy investor is a potential liability. Now think of one of those investors loving your idea, pouring his life savings (Say 200K) then filing a suit in case the startup fails.

* Investing is not a simple "here's $20,000K give me whatever that's worth in stock". The shares can be voting/nonvoting, privileged non/privileged etc. Will there be protection attached?

* Your horrible idea could be funded. Think of startup ideas your uncle Vinny gives you, now imagine him investing in them. Smart investors shred bad ideas in minutes.

* You miss out, on a lot. A startup doesn't just need money, it needs well connected investors. For example, see why Asana still needs investors even though Dustin is a billionaire: http://www.quora.com/Asana/Why-would-Dustin-Moskovitz-need-i...

There'a a reason the SEC was created. And the other side of the argument needs to be heard and addressed, not dismissed outright.
As opposed to Goldman Sachs, which would never expose investors to swindles? Give me a break. The powers that be oppose crowdfunding because the financial industry jealously defends their legal barriers to competition, not because they're looking out for the common man.
FWIW I found some serious un-Jobs-like inconsistencies in Lion. I thought the basic mission control concept was sound but there were too many key combinations from Snow Leopard left out, launchpad was a joke and Xcode was made free again. RIP Steve but I'm getting a Lenovo next time around.
A lot of the food already pretty much is. Modern production tractors and implements have the technology to operate without much human intervention; only really relying on an operator to monitor that all is well with the system. We have robots to milk cows, collect eggs, you name it.

The technology improves each year, but robots are nothing new to agriculture. Farmers started experimenting with this technology as far back as the 80s and it has only become more pervasive since.
Isn't the job post going to explain that information? Why would he put all the terms/conditions of employment at the bottom of the post. And when you're recruiting for your company and write something related, a simple "We're hiring" link really doesn't do much harm. He didn't put a banner across the top, just a simple link.

Also, you can't really expect too much courtesy when people are inundated with resumes. If you're following up and opening those lines of communication, you're showing a lot more initiative than a lot of people
They usually suck because they don't understand technology.

To me, a good technical recruiter would be able to take my resume and actually understand (to some degree) what it is I'm doing. From there, when talking about my knowledge and interests, they'd be able to respond and interact, then tell me about actually relevant jobs on their hands.

Instead, the conversation is a like driving the wrong way on a one-way street. They always have the best job for you no matter how wrong of a match it is or how unqualified or even un-interested you may be. At best, most "technical recruiters" are "connectors" as other comments stated. Beyond that it's almost all spam.
He should have left the guys wife out of it for one, he also should not admit in public to hacking computers. Regardless of who owns them that's breaking the law.

Creating real time video ASCII art using KickJS and WebGL
Yes there's a lot that a company could do fake a good OOP architecture which compiles down to standards soup, but such solutions tend to result in tons of extra generated crap. Dart compiles to JS... with a a simple "Hello World" app coming out as 17,000 lines of code!

Plus not having the structure as part of the standard will make iterative development a nightmare. Instead of being reliant on a proprietary runtime (like Flash Player) we are reliant on proprietary compilers and libraries. How is that better?
Or http:://marginize.com , whatever happened to that?
Indeed, there are no shortage of swindles out there, according to the most recent review of my Spam folder. There is already an appreciable amount of awareness out there of what are probably scams. Besides, there are already de-facto, and generally arbitrary, limitations imposed presently by popular crowd-funding services, e.g. Kickstarter. Kickstarter in particular seems to turn down applications it considers too entrepreneurial, and they do so inconsistently.

Perhaps this bill, albeit adjusted with some sensible yet minimal regulatory scheme, would permit crowd-funding schemes otherwise impossible. It could at least help encourage consistency in how crowd-funding could be (or not be) regulated.
Of course, they won't say otherwise right away. But they're contributing the Flex SDK to an open source foundation. Knowing that the Flex SDK is already open source, why would they do that if not to let the community decide of the future fate of the technology? And if the community doesn't do anything with it, then so be it?

It is slow death, but it is death to me.

Having worked on the Priceline campaign and with Mr. Shatner, I can tell you he laughed significantly less than halfway to the bank. He cashed in his shares ten years ago, well before Priceline's recent stock blast-off. Your point, however, is valid: he was paid with shares.
