No, I would never use the "if you didn't do anything wrong" argument. I'm not defending these messed up laws at all. I think they're awful like everyone else. All I'm saying is that if you take the long view you kind of see a pattern. People always feel like the past was better despite evidence to the contrary if you look at it. What I'm against is hyperbole. The country always seems to be going to hell but is it really? Things have gotten better overall. Women's rights, abolishment of slavery, civil rights movement. There are always these restrictive laws that come about and awful circumstances but in the end things get better. We had a terrible financial collapse and out of that was born Occupy Wall St. Maybe that movement will be the one that helps us move forward on the economic front just as those of us who are against internet censorship may, in the end, save freedom online. I just don't believe things are as bad as many would have us believe.

WTF? -2 karma for pointing out that we had federal-level organizations involved with education even before we had a DoED? And similar for the other departments mentioned?

Do you also think that before the DoD was created in 1949 that there was no federal response to defense?

Or do you justify even bad logic in support of your view of how the government should work?
but it's a cheap shot against algorithms
and their role in helping us make correct
assessments.

But what are we besides our heuristics? Do you remember
the mongdb-gate debacle? We rely on people acting in good
faith all the time, and rules are in-place to restrain
those who have more time than sense.

Incidentally, the First Amendment is very much uniquely American, there is no such provision in Common Law.

Further - even with the first amendment - it doesn't protect some radical americans from being killed by US Government drones.
I get the feeling that, after reading this article, we should all panic and start learning Clojure as fast as possible because the end is near.

TL;DR - Author throws many claims around (he has a point about many cores) with numbers and stuff and points to Clojure as the only salvation.
The point of most legislation is that people can't always protect themselves. Whether it's from other people, or from large organisations with great power, such as international corporations or the government. Strict privacy laws in more leftist places outside the US protect people from this sort of thing.

The fact is, people don't actually know with whom they're sharing the personal information. They think it's just their friends who can see their status updates / employer / friend network / political affiliation / sexuality. If the CIA called them up and asked them completely straightforwardly to volunteer that information for a national database I'm sure most would immediately refuse outright.

Well, all sufficiently strong programming languages are equivalent in the Turing sense, and Turing machines are equivalent to lambda calculus in computational power.

That said, lambda calculus is rather different from standard procedural programming. The closest thing to it in the "real world" would be functional languages such as Scheme, ML and Haskell.

What makes functions special? I think the article answered that: with very simple ingredients, namely recursive functions that take only 1 argument, you can essentially write any program that you could write with full-fledged Ruby (or any other Turing-complete programming language).

Git comes with `git gui` which offers some kind of UI. If you are looking for UI - I would suggest that you go for JetBrains IDEs which come fully integrated with Git (and other VCS).

More than the IDE, you definitely need to walk people through the difference between SVN and Git. The whole local+remote repo model stumps a lot of people. They should understand and use git idiomatically, instead of trying to use it like an SVN alternative!

The short answer to all questions is "What does the contract say?"

>If the business is sold, will I get 25% of the sale price

Probably not. Back of the envelope says you'll get about 1/3 of 30%.

> What guarantees are there that the guy doing the sales will work hard at it

Look into vesting and the various forms it can take. Even with that said, none really. If you're worried about this negotiate in the contract protections.

>Who/how are decisions made, do we all need to agree

Anything can be made contractual. Having 3 people agree may be impossible. Having 2 people agree maybe unfair. Plan accordingly.

>Should the software exist only on my server

This is a great protection from them stealing it. Of course, you might have legal recourse if they do, but why risk it?

>What costs can be off set against the company

I think you're talking taxation, as in write offs. Talk to an accountant. If you're asking about what can the company pay you for? Whatever the contract says.

>Can I claim extra costs for hosting on my server

Claim -- On your taxes or what? Can you bill them for the extra costs to your server? Yes, put that in the contract.

> I'm concerned that after months of development they may decide to cancel the project because of other commitments (We all have other work going on)

This is another contractual issue. You can negotiate this however you want. What you want though is a balance between giving something up to get this and protection.

This is precisely right. And a great deal of modernist work is just like this... for reasons that may be obvious if you think about them: In a world with ubiquitous photography, the details that don't show up in photos are even more special, and art galleries have the time and space to focus on them.

Those paintings that seem to consist of just one black line on a field of white? They make sense in person. (Hint: Just because it's notionally a field of white doesn't mean it isn't made of seventy-five overlapping layers of slightly different shades of white paint. Just because it's notionally a black line doesn't mean the line is uniform.)

While I agree taking a neutral stance is important for an organization like Wikipedia, it is imperative the world understands the impact SOPA will have. A majority of the people I know understand enough about SOPA to say, "I'm against that," but

(1) these people do not resemble your average American, and

(2) even they couldn't tell you much more than "it isn't good," or "it's what the entertainment biz wants."

People really need to understand SOPA. It needs to make headline news. This will push it there.
The whole "Intellectual Property" concept mixes patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and non-compete agreements. I grant that you're technically correct, but you're practically wrong: the US court system is breaking down the idea/implementation barrier in copyright, and the legal and administrative frameworks to enforce "IP" as copyright is exactly that necessary to enforce "IP" as patents.

I'm invoking "walled garden", speaking of closed, controlled hardware environments in general, whether that be Apple or phone carriers or laptop manufacturers or the like. Once the controllers of that environment gain power, the human tendency to abuse and extend that power is only a matter of time.

The only way to ensure that you can trust the hardware and software you use is if it is 100% transparent. And while that is not always possible, the ability to control what runs on your own hardware goes a long way towards mitigating the risk of a betrayed trust.

Coding standards: is consistency prettier than freedom?
I have shared and have been the beneficiary of sharing so I can tell you that I have been in those shoes.

The fucked up thing is that I agree with you guys on so many levels except one. Sharing is fine, sharing is great, copyright holders should not abuse the state to serve their own ends, and the companies pushing for the ability to take down websites, sieze domains, and cut off payment gateways for sites in a way the totally bypasses due process is wrong. I agree with you.

But can't you see why they are able to do this? Technology, specifically the web has turned the issue of sharing into something that we've never seen before.

Put yourself in the shoes of a copyright holder. You've created some work, since we're here on HN let's say it was software. You worked hard and charge $20 for your app. Someone downloads it and pays the first time. They like it so much they share it with their friend. Their friend goes ahead and puts a torrent out there and now there are ten thousand people downloading your app for free (let's say there was no security to stop that or they were able to crack it). So now you're out $20 for every single one of those copies floating around out there.

Sharing used to be no big deal but now that you can download content instantly (or close to it) and "share" content with millions of people, it now has the ability to really hurt people.

If I went ahead and burned a ton of copies of the Windows7 installer complete with license keys that work and then went downtown to a busy intersection and just started passing them out to people would that be okay? Should Microsoft get off my back because I'm just "sharing"?

Just come on, how can no one see the difference between sharing and distribution here? It's obviously harmless to rip a CD and send some tracks out to your friends but when your sharing starts scaling to a point where its in the hundreds and thousands, well that's when I've just got to throw up my hands and say "give me a break". You can't justify that as not being harmful to the creator. At that point it doesn't matter if you're being paid or not.

In the end, its people who are "sharing" on torrent sites that are giving the government an excuse to pass these kinds of laws. I see both sides, I really do, and I think there's a middle ground, we just haven't found it yet.
This is really really nice.

Some suggestions:

#1. Switch to CoffeeScript. It will cut the size of the code down considerably and given that it is such a massive file, it would really help readability.

#2. Don't embed so much html into the code. That'll also cut down code and make things easier to read. I suggest something like Handlebars to render things. Yes, another dependency, but a good one.

#3. Do you really need the 'please wait' to render things? It is somewhat jarring when clicking around quickly. If anything, just switch the thing you clicked on into a spinner or display a small spinner somewhere.

#4. A lot of the date math that is going on could probably be done more easily by using momentjs. Again, another dependency, but will save you code in the long run.

#5. Grey out buttons which cannot be clicked further? Like the + and - buttons.

#6. Maybe consider integrating or building on top of the Timeline project? http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/

Cheers.
But a copyright, even a traditional, pre-Berne convention US copyright is exactly and precisely a monopoly. A copyright is a state-granted monopoly privilege of reproduction. That's the definition of "copyright" used by everyone from lawyers to economists, not just Falkvinge. Falkvinge is a bit blunter about the consequences of strictly enforcing the rather long-lived and widely-cast privilege we in the US now grant than the economists and lawyers are.
It's funny. You hold a very positive view of the people of this country. I sincerely believe that if SOPA passes and Wikipedia is taken down* that American citizens will bend over and take it. They'll cry and be sad, but they. will. do. nothing.

* Wikipedia probably won't go down. It's probably too big to fall. If a just looked at exactly what the law said and completely disregarded their reputation, they would take it down, but that probably won't happen. And, this is under the assumption that RIAA lawyers would even dare go against Wikipedia. If they think they're God, they might.

I believe this is what they call "raising the stakes" and the consequences of this may not be what you want/expect. In fact, taking such an aggressive move may hasten the very thing you're trying to prevent.

Let me elaborate. Right now most politicians in the US are pretty out of touch with the Internet, that much we can all agree on. They hear that it's powerful, and they have young staff members saying how the Facebooks and the Twitters are necessary nowadays, but it's easy for the regular politician to not really buy into the hype. Despite that politicians (and nefarious people in influential positions) aren't really happy with the Internet and the whole open thing. Which is precisely why we're getting SOPA. Now, US politician attacks have thus far been limited media copyright and piracy, dabbling a little bit into privacy with the Facebook stuff. These are easy targets.

Now, if these sites take this kind of action, and has the kind of effect that you want - namely kicking these politicians out - you don't think every other politician is going to learn a very big lesson. And I'd hope that we plebes have also learned a lesson. When politicians/people in power have a "threat" that they are actually vulnerable to, they don't respect it and learn to co-exist. Instead they try to destroy, co-op, or otherwise remove it as a threat.

Maybe I'm being cynical/pessimistic, but given the history of humanity and the way people in power behave, I think I have reason to be.
It looks very nice. UX issue: I was confused that the slider widget scrolled the timeline. It doesn't look like a scroller and uses a widget that typically zooms (in most Mac apps) or increases/decreases some value.

But the deeper you dig, the spottier the evidence really gets, with people confusing and jumbling a whole variety of facts together. For instance, the zdnet article cites "A BBC article from 2004 reported that intelligence agencies routinely employ the remote-activiation method."

Here's that article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/3522137.stm

It mostly seems to be talking about a physically bugged phone, except for the parts about decrypting conversations over the air. And the lasers.

All people have to go on is the words "roving bug" in a court opinion which has somehow morphed into "all phones contain SMS activated spy microphones."

To what end? This is a bet on a third-order effect.

Action: Wikipedia goes into blackout.

First-order effect: People get angry because they can't look up something.

Second-order effect: They internalize that they should be angry about SOPA, and call their congresscritter.

Third-order effect: The amount of voters calling is enough to make said congresscritter oppose SOPA.

The only guarantee is that people won't be able to access wikipedia. Everything else is increasingly unlikely.
