Just making something illegal doesn't prevent it from happening--there also need to be laws providing mechanisms for investigation and enforcement.

The phone companies have all sorts of legal duties to law enforcement. If a court orders it, they have to assist with taps, traces, geolocation, call records, etc.

As you say, piracy is already illegal. And we know there's a ton of casual piracy that goes on--see:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/11/its-official...

So the question is: what mechanisms of enforcement can dampen casual piracy and yet be acceptable to most tech companies?

At least in 2009, you had to ask Facebook to be whitelisted to be able to see your (the developer's) Flash loaded directly in the timeline. I'm surprised they changed that…

They had a form where you would give your domain name, what you were doing, etc. And they took forever to get back to me when I did that.
Not sure why anyone would legitimately use the address bar for js.

There are two different things: one is modifying the clipboard from JavaScript. IE used to be able to do that, I don't know if it's still the case. I'd be very surprised if Chrome allowed that…

The second thing is modifying the selection through JavaScript which is indeed possible. However, removing that ability doesn't really solve your problem because you could imagine having white small text embedded wherever you select which would end up in your clipboard without your knowledge.
Browsers can support bookmarklets without allowing javascript to be entered directly in the address bar.

1. That's not really the question, at all. The attack works fine w/o flash. Flash just helps reduce friction. I'm pretty certain we've seen versions of the attack that don't use flash.

2. Given #1, it doesn't solve the problem, and it creates a new one. See the other response you received.

Interesting; I wasn't aware of this. I know that the original network design grew out of a DARPA project, but I wasn't aware of any significant federal regulatory involvement since the internet became open to general, non-government use in the '80s. Do you have any references you could point to that might provide more detail?

One can hardly emphasize this point enough. iOS users buy shit. The process of buying stuff on iOS is easy, easy, easy. It's unusual for it to be more than just the password prompt and the tiny pause for verification. When buying things is that easy, people buy more, and developers genuinely do make it up on volume. That's why the iOS App Store does so well - it has a solid track record of making money for developers. That's why developers in the iOS App Store put up with the restrictions it imposes - because you can make good money there.
> How do people feel about Ron Paul's standpoint on Net Neutrality?

I think he has a fairly pro-Net-Neutrality standpoint, which is to say that he opposes legislation that nominally intends to preserve net neutrality while, in practical terms, actually would create a significant threat to the same.

Google & FB can't handle their memory
Despite the excessive talks by google on optimizing performance, they still chew up an absurd amount of memory - is this really necessary? I don't think so.

Before anybody flames about me complaining, all I'm trying to do is point out that it is sad that an entire virtualized operating system is running more efficiently than a single web app.

Sure, I might have caught the apps at a bad moment and the others in a good moment. But that doesn't matter, the point still remains and it should increase developer's awareness about the importance of memory management and performance.
HN doesn't go for snark, but it seems reasonable to observe that in the end we will all survive Steve Ballmer, and projects like Cloud Foundry will be the reason.

I don't think anything on that site qualifies as pornography or child pornography in the US. "Pornography" is not a legal term, but is generally defined as "intended to cause sexual excitement" [1]. "Child Pornography" is a legal term, with similar definition in law [2].

If you look at the pictures there are a lot that show topless or covered-nude young males. They are not child pornography because they do not display "sexually explicit conduct." It's not illegal to take pictures of your naked baby [3]. If the under-age males in the photographs were depicted performing fellatio on a sex toy it would be child pornography, no matter how much clothing they had on. Nudity != Pornography.

I've seen Brian Goetz do several technology summaries at the JVM Language Summit, but this is the first fully realized vision of what "lambda" means to Java 8.

I quoted lambda because the feature may not satisfy everyone's definition of the word - functions are still not first-class and lambdas bind values not variables - but that isn't meant to be critical. What Brian et al have designed is a version of inline functions suited for the age of concurrency, and a complete ecosystem around them. The feature set well-described here extends Java and the standard libraries in important ways while preserving both language and library compatibility for Java's enormous legacy code base.
I'm not sure it might work without flash, there's no way to copy and paste, at least aside from IE[1].
What I'm arguing is the fact that the widget is embedded. Without it, at least one crucial step will be added (switch back to the previous tab), making the scam way less effective.

Kudos to VMWare for open-sourcing this, it'll be interesting to see how they leverage this product. Google open-sourced Android because they wanted to have people to search using Google on their mobile phone.

I majored in technical writing; all the while I was hacking with Python and contributing to open source projects. Now I am the CTO of an awesome company in NYC. People always are amazed that I got to where I am without some sort of formal computer science-type of degree and ask my secret. I always tell them not to underestimate the power of great communication skills.

Sure it's very important to have the technical chops, but it's often more important to be able to bring together people from all facets of the business. Solid writing skills are very important in general and, as many have said, programming is a skill that can be learned just like anything else. Programming is just like writing good prose and good writing is often a sign of clear thinking.

That wasn't the entire team. The original team was only 3! It grew to larger than 6 before Cloud Foundry launched in April (I'm talking specifically about Engineers). If you add other people the team is far, far larger.

That's a good idea, and we actually thought about that. But assuming we need those APIs, what's to keep them from calling our wrappers around them?

> All of these are tweaks

The word "tweak" does not mean the same thing to hackers as it does to the general public. To the average person, "tweaking" means making minor modifications to an essentially finished product. This of course would do a huge disservice to Apple's accomplishments, and I think that's what Gruber is trying to fight, considering Gladwell and Isaacson write for a general audience.

To put it another way, it took Microsoft and others several years to tweak the Macintosh operating system, and this despite Apple essentially resting on their laurels until the return of Steve Jobs.

There were tons of MP3 players before the iPod, and they were pretty much decimated. iTunes is not just music on the Internet, it is also the first music service that got the music majors and labels on board. Where are the iPod/iTunes tweaks? Microsoft failed twice with PlaysForSure and Zune. Amazon, Google and Spotify are doing interesting things in this space, yet most people are still going to listen to music they download from them... on their iPod.

Similarly, the iPhone is much more than a pre-2007 smartphone without buttons, and the iPad is much more than a Dynabook or a pre-2010 tablet with no stylus.

And I think you are mischaracterizing his observations about Gates.

No, I don't. It only takes one less-than-perfectly-honest cop or prosecutor to totally destroy your life. Just ask Troy Davis. (Oh, wait, you can't. He's dead. He was recently executed for a crime he (almost certainly) did not commit.)

Being convicted of a crime you didn't commit may be a risk you're willing to take, but your snide remarks are not justified merely by the fact that others choose not to share your risk posture.

every man could own a rifle

In 1810, the 1 in 6 Americans that were enslaved were not allowed to own guns. In another twenty years even free black men were no longer allowed to own guns (varied by state).

Not terribly relevant, but it is easy to forget where we come from and how far we've come in a relatively short time.

the only technological equality we have remaining is strong encryption – um, I can think of too many counter examples to even begin.

The United States once classified some encryption algorithms as a munition and banned exports. – remember to thank Al Gore for having the stones to let that be lifted and bringing us a fine SSL future with secure(ish) commerce in the Internet. (Ancient history, back in his VP days.)

Nook Tablet review
It would be very surprising if quantum mechanics didn't add up to the normal classical world we experience or to classical theories we use because they work. The story and explanations at the small level can have a totally different nature though.

Another way to put it might be this - you say "accelerating electrons creates light", but how? Classical electrodynamics is one explanation, but it cannot explain all related phenomena. At small enough levels, you find details (like photons appearing in pairs) that need a different sort of theory to explain it. What then would you say about the path integral explanation of a mirror that needs all sorts of particle creation and destruction, including particles moving backwards in time, to explain what the mirror "does" even when it isn't moving?

Better than the 4S? For the 4S siri was the shot across the bow of android IMO. For android to come back they will have to one up apple in this dept. For me, siri is a huge step in the right direction for what I want in a smartphone. Before siri, carrying around something that would have been a supercomputer a couple decades ago seemed pointless. What I really want to see from google is something that's as big a step beyond siri as siri was against previous personal digital assistants. Tight integration with calendar and gmail would make such a thing a gigantic killer app.

Greetings and a first post.
Am I missing something?

They want space on Apple's valuable digital shelves. It's really no different than selling a product at a retail store in that sense. Some products can do very well being sold directly with no retail partnerships but others depend on being at the end cap of a highly trafficked isle in popular retail stores. Being featured on Apple's top lists, featured, what's hot, or even in some instances an Apple television commercial is huge.

I agree with Hugh that there will be people who take these findings a little too seriously. There are so many more factors that can possibly play a role. The possibilities are too many to even go into. This sort of thing makes for good reading but it's far from something to be taken as definitive.

New Arrested Development will appear exclusively on Netflix Streaming
I don't know how to estimate this skew, but it's probably substantial, particularly in this industry.

I'm fairly introverted and a competent developer; I've only done two interviews in my 13-year-so-far professional career writing code.

The first was for my first job after college. I only called one company in the city where I planned to move; they seemed good, so I got a job there.

The only reason for the second interview -- last year -- was because I moved to Europe, and decided after 4 years that working on the projects & jobs I could get from my contacts in the US wasn't great, so I'd have to (ugh) meet some new people.

I suspect there are plenty of competent developers who have experiences like mine. We'd rather go work with people we already know, the folks on the hiring side would rather grab someone proven, vs. (on both sides) interviewing with strangers and hoping for the best.
Recent top-sellers like Coldplay and Adele have actively avoided Spotify for their newest albums, because their management know the record will sell widely regardless and Spotify’s audience isn’t likely to be especially keen on those artists anyway.

Seems dubious. I'd expect Coldplay and Adele to be extremely popular with Spotify users.

Anyway, I'm not surprised labels are withdrawing from Spotify. It's outrageously cheap.

That's begging the question. Yes, of course a correct implementation will by definition obtain the correct result. I'm questioning the casual way people assume they've got the correct algorithm implemented at all.

Is your paper nothing but off-the-shelf "spike sorting", or is that used as a component of something larger? Rolling back around to the original point of source code release being a desirable thing, if it's the latter, just knowing that this one library was used from what is probably literally a single sentence in the paper that reads "We used spike sorting software X to obtain sorted spikes", when presumably the library has knobs whose settings you don't know and you still don't even have their raw data to check the settings with, you still know virtually nothing about what was actually done. Source release ought to be standard.

The degree to which people who are putatively scientists will go to bat to defend making it difficult or impossible to replicate their experiments boggles my mind.

It has already been said why some people, including me, think that ads on Wikipedia would be a (very) bad things so I want tell why again. But something which is obvious to me hasn't been said: I think that Wikipedia should be part of the UNESCO's World Heritage and as such be financed with public fund by the United Nations. Given what Wikipedia is, I really wouldn't mind (actually I would be very happy) if governments had to give the project enough money to do whatever the Wikimedia Foundation needs to do. I would prefer our taxes money helping Wikipedia rather than helping banks and other thiefs.
