A FEW THINGS ABOUT DISSERTATION INTRODUCTION
The better you start the faster you go. That’s the key a 100 meter runner never forgets. Your dissertation also needs a start like that. You need an outstanding dissertations introduction to start your dissertation. A dissertation introduction chapter is as important as any other part of your work.
I just don't understand this "please behave yourself" attitude.

Freedom of speech is mostly about with regard to the state and government, but commercial services ought to similarly be obliged to follow its ramifications as well.

Basically freedom of speech means that you have the right to shoot yourself in your foot, for better or worse. And that nobody has the right to prevent you from doing so, for better or worse.

You have the right to offend people but you suffer the appropriate consequences, if any, if they decide to get offended. Google should have no say about the profile picture of the original poster: an offended individual could certainly report the picture to the police (although I personally assume that in no circumstances would there be a case). Still, it should never be Google who gets to decide this on behalf of the potential "victim".

How childish.

I have to laugh when I see video or pictures from the US where the "finger" is censored.

For anyone who takes offence from that: grow up. It's a finger, it's not hurting anyone. If you're offended by that it's because you choose to be offended by it. Grow up and get past that.

Give him a "Freedom Of Speech Defender" award. I'm sure it will be as effective as the premature peace prize.

I still believe wholeheartedly that he is a good man, with good intentions. But he lacked the conviction and courage to be a "leader". Instead he focused on reelections from the start. You're the president of the United stated of America ffs! You can get away with a lot more than you think, look at your predecessors.
I used to work at an affiliate network where an advertiser's ad ended up next to a satirical video for "Tourette syndrome Barbie". Some national Tourette syndrome organization called the advertiser and threatened to boycott them. They pulled the entire campaign from us, despite our ability to make sure this particular affiliate would never promote the ad again. Long story short, knee jerk chain reactions are the norm. Advocacy group or other consumer group overreacts, advertiser is forced to overreact to avoid a boycott or press incident, publisher gets screwed out of a good campaign, picture of guy flipping off nobody is banned forever.

In other words, you're half-right. Don't blame Google. But probably don't blame advertisers either. Blame some overly sensitive consumer group or advocacy group for having no sense of humor and throwing their weight around because they have nothing better to do.
We could apply the same logic to racial slurs and abrasive language.

Oh sure, just that and saying they're literally incoherent with rage.

Yes, and OWS isn't a protest movement against SOPA. Did you actually read anything?

> I'm also not calling people murderers because I have political disagreements with them,

I'm not calling you a murderer, I'm calling you a murderer by proxy, and not because we disagree but because you are one.

> but that's the difference between you and me.

You're willing to slander every person who has been to OWS and you think I'm accusing you without enough information. Hilarious.
I think your argument is aiming at the right target, but is using the wrong ammo.

The essay outlines why piracy is not possible (or at least practical) for space commerce. However, it is very plausible that nations will fight over shipping routes and try to destroy each other's freighters and merchant ships. Like you said "Anywhere you have commerce, you are liable to develop conflict." This will be true, but probably only between political states.
My concern is for content increasingly being siloed within an app that only permits its use in ways encouraged by the author. An IDE is a decent counter-example, since nothing like it would have been feasible before js apps began displacing the web. But it's more and more unlikely that any app other than that IDE will be able to access your source code, simply because it's easier not to bother supporting a stable and documented API when the maintainer's favored client can be revved at a moment's notice.
From comments: "How is filer.js better or different than the HTML5 Filesystem API?". I'm curious what the answer would be - but perhaps more importantly, the flip side - why does HTML 5 do such a bad job that filer.js has a reason to exist?

from a pure user perspective, this approach can be summed up pretty simply: "half-assed".

This logic always confounds me. We are born naked, our natural state is to be without clothes. Worse still we are born into a society whose rules are based on a religion we may or may not subscribe to, but we still have to follow these rules under penalty of enslavement (prison) or physical harm to our bodies. Those naked bodies we were born with which offends some sense of religious propriety.

Actually the regulation is useless. When you try to execute the warranty, the vendor often argues that you must produce a technical proof that the defect was pre-existing and not caused by improper use. The cost of independent review is often more than the repair. So you should research the seller's behaviour before buying.
Absurd, people chose what pictures to upload because they want those particular pictures, they don't upload crap because they can't be bothered to do better and everyone else is doing the same anyway.

There's a reason why this is important - it allows the 'native' app to stay up to date with the desktop web app. Yes, the Facebook native app is less usable and more clunky than it was before - on the other hand, it's feature-by-feature more up to date with the main site.

Is that a trade-off worth making? Perhaps, perhaps not - but in the very least, there's an argument to be made, right?

Timing also seems opportunistic here too. Hard drive scarcity has increased due to the floods and subsequent production issues in Thailand.

In addition to raising prices, like you would in a traditional supply/demand model, this would seem to be a good time to increasing the favorability of warranty terms to the manufacturer given that they're no longer racing to the bottom on price margins with their competitors.

Yes, businesses have very few obligations regarding free speech, in contrast to the government. That doesn't mean they should not support something just because nobody forces them to do it. It's not a question of legality, it's a question of ethics.
If your employer doesn't have dedicated sick pay, then why not? Perhaps they should? A few days where >50% of their employees are off sick due to the flu of the month going around ought to convince them otherwise.

This is why most countries (by "unheard of in some countries", I think you mean "unheard of in the US") have sick leave in some form -- it's both recuperation time and voluntary quarantine.
Nope. Probably something to do with security. But everything needs to be string. It works well for everything other than images.
Reading the list, however, I get the feeling he likes to optimize for the sake of optimization. If you factor in the rate of use, few items on his list are actually worth duplicating. Flashlights scattered around for power outages? Come on! Unless the outages come weekly, it's probably just a premature optimization. Or unless you're particularly accident-prone, you might get by with fewer first-aid kits and fewer towels and wipes.

However, laptop adapters I understand. They're a pain here, too, and laptops travel many times a day. And this thinking of his is good, in general. But mostly, he certainly goes off my scale in my world where the mere cost of keeping is pretty high. I generally don't want anything unless I really, really need it and much less I want two or more copies of it! I'm quite sure that as soon as you have two or three copies of nearly anything you need more often than once a year, you'll will the same.

Instead of duplication, I often opt for keeping things in their places. For example, I don't need wrenches and screwdrivers every week but I certainly do few times a month. Thus, I don't mind walking to another room to pick one from my toolbox as long as I know they're in my toolbox and I don't have to search for what I want. Searching cost is often greater than the cost of fetching.

And accumulating the copies costs too, really. They cost in terms of taking space and in needing both physical and mental upkeep: mind them while cleaning, mind if one of your numerous stashes is running out of consumables. And the burden of ownership, and the burden of eventually requiring more space because you have copies of too many things. These cut down productivity, at least they would cut mine.

YMWV, of course.

Somehow, i'm not sure if i like the word "pattern". Patterns are something which can be used generally and repeatedly. I think that's sort of scary. For example: I've learned factory usage while doing twisted and it came naturally how and why this was used. But somehow i feel that with all those books and courses about "design patterns" new programers are missing out how to find a solution. It's like "here are your tools, MVC, factories and observers, try to solve your problems with those". This can be dangerous when a programer first looks how he can mold his problem to be solved with some pattern, whereas he should first analyse the problem and use patterns carefully where they fit naturally. I'm scared of a programming world where every bit is solved by factories of factories of metafactories ;)

'The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer' by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Babylon 5 did this a lot as well.
Exactly the same as with SOPA and other laws.
Police/Judge etc are there to solve such matters. No company should be allowed to do so.

Not only that but judges, police and so on have specific safe guards to prevent, as much as possible, any unfair treatment or anything that would violate your human rights and/or constitutional rights.

People dying and fought their whole life for us to have those safeguards.

And many disregard them nowadays, or bypass them with such laws, without even bothering or feeling ashamed. That is so bad.
There is a good damn f* reason for those to be at the base of all laws. That's something that should never be forgotten.
I'd even say it's way more important than wars, terrorism, whatever other "never forget!" event (which are closer to "think of the children" events, in order to enforce bad stuff, to me)
I still don't really get it. If a user keeps their CC hooked into an e-commerce site behind an account with a four-character password, how does that compromise the security of the actual system and not just that user's own data (including the credit card they willingly put into an account with a simple password)?

Users should be responsible for their own passwords in my opinion, I don't see what value we get out of making normal, non-admin accounts use long passwords. Is a six or eight character minimum really going to matter to anyone? If they can crack your four character alphabetic lowercase password, they can crack your eight character alphabetic lowercase password.

I just see no reason from an application security perspective to enforce password minimums.
While that is true, it's hardly the end of the story.

This is all a bit slipperyslopey and devilsadvocatey, and definitely a 2am runon sentence, but when businesses maintain the most extensive and authoritative identity rosters on the planet (having millions of realtime and historical data points about each individual), and those businesses serve as the primary soapbox for citizens to shout from, and the businesses increasingly act as independent states, we may need to reevaluate how we make sure those businesses behave, and we may need to expand the definition of "behave".

Looking to the near-ish future: I expect Facebook to show all the "important" stories in my news feed - but as they continue to tweak what's "important", what happens if they hide everything related to a specific topic (be it Facebook redesign moaning, Ron Paul, Falun Gong...), effectively removing it from the public discourse? At the scale they currently have and will achieve, is their obligation to provide the "right" content mandated by user engagement metrics, PR, or just what advertisers will pay the most money for? What if they'd like to nudge an election?

It may be user engagement metrics are all that's necessary - Google+ is doing its best to prove folks won't use what they don't like. It may be that fiddling with newsfeed content is all it takes for Facebook's future as "that thing people used for a while after MySpace" to emerge. Or maybe something else happens. All I'm saying is this isn't quite so open and shut.

Oh man. I need to get some sleep before I start thinking I make any sense.
