I used to work as a low-level tech for one of the largest PCI compliance providers. For smaller merchants (I think less than 20k? transaction per year) there's 4 levels of compliance: A, B, C, and D.

A is for merchants who redirect to another site or use an iframe (like paypal). B is for merchants who use a dial up terminal. C is for any merchant who accepts credit card information electronically (i.e. an internet connected terminal or a website with no redirect / iframe). D is for anyone who stores credit card information.

A & B just require you to fill out a self-assessment indicating you're aware of the rules and following them. C & D both require "scans", probably of your website or server (at least a couple hundred dollars, if not more).

Superannuation (at least in Australia, generally speaking) is privately run. You don't end up with a soverign wealth fund. (Although you do end up with a large amount of capital looking for places to be invested)

I'm sure every Congressperson rides the border between:

- Personal morals (i.e. voting against gay marriage or evolution because their religion dictates it)

- Pandering to corporate interests for campaign money (or votes in the case of strong unions)

- Supporting their constituents (or at least appearing to). This can take the form of pandering to corporate interests so that said corporations open up their new offices within said Congresspersons constituency (i.e. bringing new jobs into the area!). It can also take the form of voting on crap laws to look 'tough on crime' or 'tough on child porn' or whatever.

I doubt very much that many of the people in Congress see it as a 'power grab' even if that is essentially what it is.
This is very easy to get around. Amazon allows you to register multiple addresses. Just register a US address against your Kindle. All your other Amazon services can be registered against your AU address(es). This will give you full access to the US ebook catalogues from AU.
As you would expect Amazon only puts up a minimal, token resistance to you buying their stuff.

Australians love to self-denigrate, it's the national pastime. But we won't stand for anyone else doing it!

I'm lost some potential new friends when I've took exception to their usual slogan "Australia has no culture", which either means that we don't have the thousand years of fine art history of Europe or that we don't have a coming-of-age ceremony like some tribe that live in grass huts do.

We waste so much hot air and our media talking about how crap we are and how poorly performing the country is, when we consistently score in the top 5 in any international measure involving quality of life (oh no, so Sweden or Denmark beat us out again... why is that so shameful that we're not always #1 of 200 countries?)

Not to say we don't have some serious problems, but we do tend to look at ourselves in a bubble and compare ourselves against some mythical 'home country', seen through rose-coloured glasses.

Chinese Court Reportedly Rejects Apple Lawsuit Over iPad Name
I needed something like this for my work (@appadvice) and couldn't find it so I made it on my own :) and just posted in on the App Store. What StreamBoard does is plugs into Twitter's streaming API for any keyword you want, and display the results in real-time in a table view.

You can filter the results too, which is quite powerful if you track news things like, everyone who says iPhone in a tweet that has more than 500 followers and speaks english and includes a link in his tweet. It also does location-filtering to some extent.

I used to use Datasift Beta to do this, but now they want a LOT of money for it, so I made my own filtering engine in obj-c.

I literally learnt Obj-c and made it in about 14 days, so the UI is a bit rough. The engine however should be rock solid. If you have time to try it for me, here are some promocodes:

Why is it foolish? Perhaps their goal is prevent a conflict with US. The calculus being that, once there is a conflict they will take undue damage. So better prevent any conflict by sending a message that we are not defenseless.

Just think about it, there is so much news about this now, that any attack from US will face some internal opposition.

For all we know the plane was downed by the administration, to reduce the pressure from GOP's posturing of attack on Iran.
There are plenty of Australians who shout about the property bubble. The problem is that there is so much middle-class wealth tied up in it, that any political party that steps forward and eliminates negative gearing is basically signing their own death warrant - they won't be a player for 10-15 years.

Ok. A thesis that sounds reasonable, except how do we test this belief and what measuring stick?

"It's insanely hard to make a kick ass _____"

One of the reasons mobile design is so hard is because you have to use 100% of the screen. Not only do you need to make it look good, but you also need to squeeze the resources of the phone. You have to worry about battery life, network usage, and storage space. It's a challenge, but it makes the end result a lot better.

The same rules really should apply to development on any platforms. Keep it light, simple, and focus on one thing.
Крпивник: Перегляд профілю
There are many sensible insurance regulations around, such as compulsory third-party-personal insurance that comes attached to vehicle registration, so that if you're a licensed driver driving a licensed vehicle, even if you run over 50 pedestrians you're covered for their losses and they are all covered for medical insurance, compensation payouts and rehabilitation.

That's the case in Victoria with the TAC, but I'm not sure about the other states.

The smartest thing they did was make it payable from employers separate to your wage - that way you don't get the "gummint taking my wage, bastards!" crap. It's an extra cost to employers, but they don't tend to storm the newspapers with knee-jerk reactions and fiery torches...
There's no worthwhile "Dip" when it comes to making an iPhone app since it's become commoditized, and crowded. There's a lot of effort, luck, sweat, etc, don't get me wrong, but the cost/benefit ratio just sucks. You're better off putting that sweat to creating an enterprise app for Fortune 500 clients, or creating the next big social network.

Also, remember.. there's a lot of commotion over mobile, but in terms of monetization, it still lags behind web display, and search ads.. it's not even close.
If the vim site is outdated, so is Amazon's. (Okay, Amazon's less so, but I think the taste issue is more from the tabular layout than the lack of gradients or rollovers. Just my thoughts though.) vim itself has a fantastic UX.

Perhaps. It will be interesting if that is still the prevailing wisdom after Europe melts down.
Composition should be of libraries or algorithms not arbitrary black box programs with n different options. Shell scripting for anything non-trivial is a pain as nothing is portable or reusable. Linux has extensions to posixx, Freebsd as well and so do their specific core utilities.

Let me know your email address.
Which circles back around to the point above; until you have a few examples, trying to make something reusable will probably cause you more pain in the long run. That's not justification for bad code, just an argument against premature factorization.

Like recommendations against premature optimization, it's just a good rule of thumb.

OK, I'm pretty sure this is an FAQ but not getting a sensible result from google: Does anyone have a pointer to a table of processing fees for the major providers?
That's the type of question that would have to be answered by the courts, but SOPA presents a framework in which that type of request could be made.
I like the broader question this inspires: Why are the technologies prevalent in the 60's still prominent today? The correct, standard answer is that they're good enough. Good enough often beats out better solutions. But that's only half of the story. Embrace that theory too much, and we'll find ourselves in a world of good enough solutions.

I don't know about you, but I don't want the world to be "good enough". I want it to be better. We could accept all of what we have today, and take it for granted, and we'd live with it forever. But that would suck.

Even the most entrenched technologies can be displaced, or even replaced, with enough ingenuity, effort, and a superior technology. Most changes are happening slowly, as they must when we have billions of "installs". Most won't replace their predecessor completely, but erode it slowly:

IPv4 to IPv6.

Windows to OS X.

SOAP to REST.

XML to JSON.

HTTP to SPDY.

IE to Chrome.

Flash to Canvas.

Those changes didn't happen automatically; people pushed to get those new ideas out there. Truly better software will make it, but it won't happen if you accept that the old guard is here forever.

Forever is a long time.

One more thing: Many things that are really old — Unix, for instance — aren't the same as they were before. They've evolved, changed, and grown as developers evolve the software. Emacs today is tremendously different from its first release. Software evolves, and often dies when it doesn't.
I have found you can get the best of both worlds by building a smarter model layer. For example, if your models are inherently versioned, you can just fork off a new version and then either commit it or discard it.

Meanwhile the view gets to have really rich two-way interaction with the model, which is a big win for keeping presentation logic and model logic separate.

As an example: whenever the value of one field alters the available choices for another field, it's better to capture that logic in the model. Then you can write a view that focuses only on how to display choices, not which choices need to be displayed.

> How, exactly, should LAPD have gotten those folks unlinked and removed them?

By waiting for them to do something they should actually be arrested for, rather than using trumped up misdemeanor charges as an excuse to quash dissent.

> Your right to protest does not include a right to occupy a public park for an indefinite amount of time.

Actually, it does. Every one of these protesters is choosing to spend their time in this park (symbolizing something) rather than carrying about their lives. What harm is being done? Public parks aren't in short supply.

> significant costs to the city.

Government efficiency is an anti-feature. If police save 50% doing something a certain way, that just means they'll do twice as much of it.
I agree with this, and see this trap in lots of entrepreneurs. They want to disrupt healthcare, or teleconferencing without any domain expertise in it. They think having a keen sense of UI, superb technical skills, with some SEO mixed in will get the job done, but without the deep domain knowledge, you're just rolling the dice. I think that's what the author is getting at.

Example: The person who just wants to innovate for the heck out of it will create an app that allows people to learn foreign languages through Skype. The person who's actually studied foreign languages and accelerated learning will create an app that concentrates on input/listening first.
I think you have a good start, have you ever thought about getting the itinerary out of a PDF and into a more interactive medium. A mobile app could do some pretty cool stuff, say you purchase an itinerary and it is pushed to your phone, you could do on location things like offer special discounts from vendors as well as location aware items like restaurant review integration from yelp or urban spoon, etc.

Taking it to a mobile platform as opposed to or in addition to a PDF opens a world of revenue opportunities as well as makes for a better overall user experience.

You should take a look at my profile, I have done a lot of travel related stuff and exited a few start-ups in the space. If you guys ever want to chat, I can offer you guys some good advice on how to position your app

. As well, please take this with a grain of salt, but you guys need to get a graphic artist, pictures sell travel and they need to be great, a travel brochure should wow people and get them excited about the destination. Design is so critical in travel.

Also 70% of travel related decisions by couples are made by the woman. Remember that statistic when your designer works on the site, you should try to remain neutral in design, but if you cannot, lean toward more feminine qualities, soft curves, lighter colors. Images of attractive women do not drive away women, but they will up your male conversion rate. A masculine young male can reduce your conversion (in heterosexual markets), try to employ images of couples with an older attractive male and a younger attractive female.
Ensure that they are tasteful but employ them as people like to see attractive people having fun. I could go on for a month, if you want to chat hit my up on Skype, it is in my profile.

I disagree with two of your three points:

(paraphrasing, fairly I hope)

> Objective-C is too much work/too low-level for your app/required because the hardware is limited.

Disagree. I wouldn't be disappointed to see solid Cocoa bindings in another approved language, but any programmer can learn C, and should. ObjC is a superset of C, and Cocoa is a beautifully consistent framework. The brackets might take a day or two to get used to, but they pretty much disappear after that. The much talked-about memory management model is not nearly as daunting as bloggers make it sound.

> Designing hugely complex monolithic apps is difficult on the iPhone.

Well, OK. I don't disagree with that entirely. But design is always serious work, information architecture is an art and science, especially for highly complex applications. That said, your app is not Photoshop and a good designer can solve your problems. Photoshop on an iPhone would be Difficult. So would XCode.

> App store discoverability is poor, marketing around launches is unpredictable, betas and limited releases are complicated or unworkable, audience feedback is a big problem.

Agreed 100%...! :)

Good luck with your dev!

>>"because you have to use 100% of the screen"

I think the that kind of restrain on the user would make work on native mobile development side easier. All you would have to deal with is 2x views (portrait & landscape) vs all the possible combinations of web screen sizes.
when you say 'political leadership', are you including things like the world-first legislated 8-hour work day? The world-second women's vote? Or more recent world firsts, like the mining profits tax? Australia has it's downsides (like the WAP that only ceased half a century ago) but it's a pretty progressive nation, if you bother to compare it to other nations rather than utopia. Where are the other powerful, inspiring leaders? There's nothing unusually bad about ours.
