while we are decently regulated those regulations don't do much to Hirt the founding of a business and allow businesses to expand easily.

On the contrary, consider:

In the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation ..., "the psychology of the entrepreneur has changed dramatically," say Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association. The basic reason is that in a world with Sarbanes-Oxley, everyone who wants to take their company public has to deal with extra paperwork and hoops to jump through. Those costs can add up and sometimes make going public simply not worth it. [1]

I am not a lawyer and have not reviewed the text of this legislation so I can't speak to the precise details, but I have agented venture capital and private equity transactions and thought I'd add a few considerations that others haven't mentioned.

One of the major problems with raising money from individuals, rather than institutional venture capital funds, relates not to these peoples' ability to make smart financial decisions, but relates to information asymmetries. When a Company is publicly-traded, a significant amount of financial information is disseminated to the public markets. Since public company businesses are relatively more stable, this historical financial information and guidance is sufficient to come to a reasonable valuation of the company (reasonable in the sense of being accurate to a factor of 2, rather than an order of magnitude like a VC deal).

When venture capitalists make an investment, they have face-to-face meetings with the entrepreneurs, and, critically, the ability to request follow on due diligence materials to their own satisfaction. If members of the general public are going to make venture capital investments, is it really reasonable for them to be able to meet the entrepreneurs face to face? ALL VCs will tell you this is of critical importance, although skeptical minds may disagree. Is it likely that companies will satisfy follow-on due diligence requests from a large number of individual investors? No, highly unlikely. Without these two critical factors, it will be difficult for individuals to realistically assess the risks and rewards of a particular company.

A second critical factor in a venture capital transaction is the negotiation between the VCs and the company. If the result of this legislation is that transactions are consummated without protections, such as liquidation preference, information rights, control provisions, that will not be a positive for the investing public. These terms are required if you are to have any hope of having good risk/reward tradeoffs.

In light of these concerns, I would think that the easiest way of protecting the public would be requiring that any particular investment round include at least a certain percentage coming from a qualified venture capital or private equity firm who would negotiate price and terms on behalf of the investors. Critically, the investing public and this person would have to get exactly the same economic deal, otherwise the whole thing breaks down. If they instead put this program in the casino and don't provide proper structure and incentives, it will be a wealth transfer just like the other casino games.

I would like to point out that I am all in favor of individuals having the opportunity to invest in these companies, in general, I just think that careful consideration needs to be given to how the market works "on the ground" in opening up any such market.
Awesome. It's starting to dawn on me that audio is increasingly powerful in an ever more "mobile" world. I take in more and more content via audio (audiobooks, The Economist, a widening array of podcasts, I'm even playing with text-to-speech apps for Twitter and web articles). It's more convenient while I'm on the move and I find it more conducive to actually focusing on long form, high-value content. A music service with a strong API really creates the opportunity for a platform to grow out of these disparate content sources.

Apparently it's a feature where you can't update your security question either:

Which, with jQuery, is the same as the results from the most-recent selector in the chain (in this case, the .find('.stuff') before it). Normally though, you'd be absolutely correct, and that example would need to nest the .addClass('other') inside its .find so it doesn't pollute the next .find:

$('.class')
.find('.sub').remove()
.find('.stuff')
.addClass('other')
.find('.more_stuff').removeClass('things')
.filter('li').appendTo('#my_list')
Sorry. You're right. I let the ultra dumbness of this whole thread bring me down a bit.

Doing an SSL MITM from agent software installed by the carrier on a phone seems pretty silly, since the carrier is in a position to see anything you're typing into your phone anyways (in the sense that it controls the OS).

I'm not sure I buy any analysis that suggests CarrierIQ is really "MITM'ing" SSL --- though that's trivial for a software agent to do --- because the same people saying that are also saying that it's obvious that CarrierIQ is capturing and remote-logging message contents.

Wait, what? Why should we be holding back the web to satisfy your definition of what the web should be?

It's up to websites to decide what technologies to take advantage of, as it's always been. JavaScript is ubiquitous now, but it wasn't always -- some sites used it, others didn't. The web didn't die, and eventually adoption became widespread. Same goes for other advancements. If I want to browse Wikipedia, I should be able to do so without having a top of the line computer running the latest browser (although Firefox runs on just about anything). However, why should we not allow someone to create, say, a multi-user realtime image editor, merely because it doesn't run on your computer?

The irony of your rant is that these APIs are to help combat exactly what you're afraid of. In theory, these APIs will eventually work on an iPhone, WP7 or Android phone. Currently, you need to buy an iPhone if you want to use an iPhone app. These APIs were created in order to make "apps" platform agnostic, via the web.
The scenario I anticipate is the one where Oracle adds something generally useful to the JVM as a commercial feature. Off the top of my head, there's stuff in the memory management area such as a better GC or access to off-heap memory, or goodies for dynamic languages such as tail call optimization.

Suddenly, putting a bit of money in the JVM allows you to go faster. In the beginning, the community will be disciplined about it and make sure that libraries and applications that use these features degrades gracefully, so you can make use of them without getting the commercial JVM. But already here it starts smelling, there are now two target JVMs. Testing just doubled in complexity.

Soon, small, clever libraries that does immensely useful stuff with the new features appear - like what Google Collections did for generics - and pretty soon you're wilfully handicapping your developers by not using commercial JVM. When you already have a revenue-generating code base, throwing Oracle a little money is a no-brainer. There's no way they'd make licensing so expensive that it wouldn't get a CTO fired NOT to buy it. But now they've introduced the drag at the start-up level which I'd voice concern over in my previous post. This is especially sad at a time when the JVM and even Java seems to be enjoying a bit of a renaissance.
The good news from yesterday was that IE10 will have typed arrays. I assume that Safari will enable them by default soon - so all modern browsers will soon support typed arrays, and should run code like this very well.

Right now this demo is faster in Chrome it seems, while the original Broadway (H264 instead of WebM) is faster in Firefox, but the important thing is that the differences are not that big, and all JS engines are in very good shape and improving. We'll have even better performance a year from now.
There seems to a lot of confusion, both in the article and in the comments, about the "3 trusted friends" password recovery. You have to manually select your trusted friends [1]. A fake account mimicking one of your friends will not be a "trusted friend" unless you make him or her one.

Furthermore, this is an opt-in feature.

No, the courts take context into account. So for example, it might be perfectly legal to post 2 sentences from a book on your blog, if 10,000 blog posters conspired to post a different 2 sentences to share the whole book, that would be clearly illegal. Furthermore, the law is interpreted by Judges, who are people, not machines, and they tend to take a very harsh stance against people who try to game the system.

Well realistically they would not have been collecting 456GB per day from day 1. They would have grown from almost nothing, which means that today they're probably collecting around a terabyte per day. That's two orders of magnitude, 7KB per user per day - and could definitely include all keystrokes of all users.
Maybe its a first draft but the colour schema could also use some rework.

I agree that the attitude is off-putting and the narrow view afforded to individuals is counterproductive.

There are, however, members of the intelligence community who have the breadth of view to make good judgment calls. Just not enough of them, and no accountability.

It's very unlikely that the license to run the commercial JVM will cost the same as a license to run the Oracle DB. These are two very different beasts.

In fact, I would guess that the cost of a Windows server license would be something of a benchmark for the price of the commercial JVM license.
It baffles me how Zuckerberg can remain disdainful of our very consistent feelings toward privacy, while arrogantly suggesting that he knows better. It doesn't take a privacy law scholar, an Internet security expert, or someone with a 150 IQ to realize that there's something profoundly different about socializing online.

More specifically, the presence of an all-knowing middleman/service undermines trust; no matter what, we will never trust Facebook as much as the members for whom we maintain a profile. Facebook wants us to completely open our private lives to a corporation notorious for its lack of transparency and openness. Facebook is entirely self-serving, as evidenced by its metastasis into even more of our lives. Masquerading as a selfless company innocently trying to connect people, Facebook continues to shove invidious technologies down our throats for one reason only: $$$.

That said, I truly hope that its FTC settlement portends a turning point for the social web.
There are one disturbing thing here:

A handful of comments are saying that is ok because CarrierIQ is probably not sending all data (probably not in Europe, but probably they do in Saudi Arabia). This is disturbing because people making these kind of comments are entrepreneurs and in general great people. It seems like we are loosing our moral compas in Silly Valley. Fuck. Please please don't do things like this.
CarrierIQ provides a valuable service for all us. They relay data that optimizes carrier networks, so that we can call, text, get data, etc more reliably.

The problem this thread highlights is poor marketing and transparency. No one at CarrierIQ gives a damn what we text. Breaking those basic privacy tenants would destroy their business, which seems to be going nicely if their software is on >100M devices.

The company just does a crappy job explaining what their technology does and how it helps consumers. Uncertainty around our private information spooks people, which leads to distrust and conspiracy theories. Let this be a valuable lesson for entrepreneurs who touch consumer data, even B2B solutions.

Gmail and Bluekai provide excellent counter-examples of ways to squash these concerns:
-Gmail -remember the ruckus about Google reading your email for ads? Google publicly explained this and now no one cares.
-Bluekai -the company tracks data for online ads. Touch subject. But they're transparent and lay everything out on their website, including an opt-out: http://bluekai.com/consumers.php

CarrierIQ clearly needs to address these issues. Let's call on them to do that. In the meantime, take a moment to imagine how much more we'd hate carriers if reception was even spottier (cough...AT&T iphone...)
Even if I didn't care about being locked into apple's ecosystem (it is possible to root iphones after all) I still would be forced to choose between android, blackberry, and winphone models since no iphones have a physical keyboard and that's an important feature for me.

I remember hearing the reason behind that in one of the BUILD conference talks this year. Apparently (and sadly) there are tons of high-profile Windows apps that would completely break and stop working all-together if the only thing they did in the next version of Windows was bump the major version number up one and changed nothing else. Developers hard-coded many portions of their product to depend on specific version numbers existing (instead of looking for available APIs).

They learned their lesson after Vista, which is why 7 only bumped the minor version number up, and 8 will follow in its footsteps.
I would love it if somebody noticed that I hit the "return, backspace, space" combo over and over and made the return key slightly smaller.
How much do good people really cost? I meant 10k as in someone to build the basic functionality and leaving maintenance to someone else, but again, I don't know. It's probably still more than 10k anyway.

So you're making total sense and I'm starting to get it but my real point is that the majority of startups don't get traction. Why pump in money and hope for the best? Why not make someone prove themselves before pumping that much money into an idea? That's the part I think is nuts especially know how likely these sites are to fail.

Also, I didn't quite understand what you meant with that very last sentence/question. Please explain?
>This seems like a wonderfully pointless gimmick.

Remember how cool it was when tony hawks and GTA first had licensed soundtracks?

(It was really cool.)

EDIT: Oh, apparently you can only build your apps into spotify, not build spotify into your apps. Boo!

EDIT2: Or maybe you can. It's not very clear. But that would definitely be an excellent market for this, allowing indie browser or mobile game devs to license music easily through an intermediary. Or maybe that's already an easy process?

Plantronics headsets - Available in various forms
Plantronics headsets have a single platform support, which clings to the head holder on one side. However, for those who are working in extremely noisy environments, double-Pad models are available that are very useful to completely block the background noise. Using dual-pad headphones, you can increase accuracy and efficiency.
Is counting delimiters any easier than measuring indentation? Not really. You will just fall back on the indentation in the end anyway. The delimiters never make anything clearer, they just help push the opening line off the top of the screen.
I think one could argue that the Google system foretold by your tagging and moderation system and thus should fail the novelty test.

To your question about bonuses though, when I worked there they were aggressive at getting things filed and just filing was a bonus (didn't have to issue, if it issued that was another (bigger) bonus). Someone once pointed out the not so strange correlation between patent filings and needing a bit of extra money for Christmas shopping :-) So not to worry the Googlers in question were well compensated, enough for many many beers.
The point is that without a gatekeeper, who does that judge order around?

There are advantages to using FB that might outweigh the serious privacy concerns. For instance, FB might help me maintain connections with people I might not consider close friends, but acquaintances I might later like to tap in the future. Connections, etc. Or maybe I move to a new city and don't know anyone and that could be nice.

That doesn't mean there isn't a cost associated with using FB. There is, and it should be weighed more carefully than it is. But that doesn't make someone an idiot for deciding that a public presence is worth the privacy violations.
I would argue that some of the best code I've ever written didn't take long to write. If Arrington understood both the physical and mental nature of bug-quashing, he'd have a more nuanced view of the slavish work sessions he's advocating.

Sometimes it makes sense to pull overnighters and sometimes it simply burns a coder out and drives him to poor productivity and an infectious bad attitude. It takes an expert to know the difference.

If there's no product, then are you really pivoting? To me, pivoting implies that you have a product and are moving away from it because it's not the best avenue of attack for the problem you're trying to solve. In other words, you've tried an approach (i.e. developed a product), it hasn't worked, and now you're trying something different.

I don't see this as different from option 2. Failures will just happen at compilation-time rather than run-time. This has the slight advantage of making those errors easier to track down, but still violates DRY.
