Ideas and the work of the mind are in the public domain; they belong to the public. If you come up with an original idea, even if this original idea cost you a year's work, this original idea that you and you alone built, belongs to everyone.

Now, in order to encourage people to work on original ideas, it was decided to give to authors a right to their own work, for a limited time.

This "right" is taken from the public domain (ie, the public). The justification is that by helping struggling authors, it lets them coming up with more original ideas, and therefore benefits the public.

The deal is this: the public gives a piece of their own property to authors, in exchange for more work from those same authors.

This system has grown out of proportion with its original intents. (The minute dead authors could earn anything from copyright, the system should have been considered broken).

So, although it's currently illegal, and I don't approve of "piracy", it's not illegitimate to consider that if someone says something, I have a right to know what they're saying (especially if that doesn't cost them anything to let me hear it).

You could really turn your proposition the other way around: if someone doesn't want non-paying readers to read what they write, then they should refrain from writing anything.
the content is great, but presentation annoying as hell. should have just put it as static text.
RAII is a usage pattern: You must stack-allocate an object or wrap it in a suitable smart pointer. It's just as easy to do things differently as it is with Ruby's blocks or C#'s using statement. The reason it has a name is because it is a pattern that's talked about so much exactly because following the pattern is so intrinsic to modern C++ programming.

Once you're passing a block to a method like this in Ruby, the execution of the cleanup code is just as guaranteed as it is in C++.
The tarnished Microsoft brand is exactly why it's the "Nokia Lumia", not the "Microsoft Lumia".

Assuming Microsoft do buy Nokia, as many people have speculated, I'm pretty sure they'd retain the Nokia brand for all mobile phone hardware.
Interesting thought. The most customer friedly solution I could image would be a 'iTunes Match' like service for Apps. While seting up your Windows Phone, they could ask for your iTunes or Android Marketplace credentials and scan these accounts for past purchases of popular apps also available for Windows Phone and mark them as purchased in the Windows Phone App Marketplace.

There seem too be two flawed mindsets.

On one hand you have people claiming that every pirated copy is lost revenue and that there are no positive benefits. Pirates are thieves destroying the lively hoods of hard working creators.

On the other you have people claiming that piracy doesn't harm the industry (where music, film, software and books are interchangeable), and that piracy actually helps authors by increasing the publicity for their work.

Both these stand points seem way to extreme. If a kid pirates Photoshop rather than drop a grand for it I don't really think Adobe has been harmed. On the other hand if the same guy grabs a movie of a torrent rather then dropping a few dollars (which they can afford) on a rental then that is lost money. Maybe for some artists of developers that loss will be offset by increased recognition or maybe it won't.

It's a shame that so many people take such hard and fast stands for or against piracy, and we lack the more nuanced opinions that reflect the situation as it actually is.

I guess "Pirates are thieves" or "Unknown band becomes smash hit due to torrenting" make more effective headlines then "Piracy is really complicated and effects different stake holders in different ways".
Good advice stacking up here - but the challenge is in getting your boss to appreciate the huge step from sample exercises in programming to building a real life application.

It could be the equivalent of learning to saw through a couple of wooden planks. Learning the basics of handling a cross cut saw gives little insight into the craft of joinery.

I think what you're describing is somewhat different: temporarily changing context is like a let block. So for instance in CL you can rebind standard-output to a different stream using let, but then you have to do the legwork to ensure that everything is cleaned up if something goes wrong, while with-open-file or with-output-to-stream will do part of that work.
Ask HN: Do anyone have experience with Mobile Game Publishers?
Hi,

I'm currently working on an iOS / Android game and was wondering what are the pros & cons of using a publisher such as Chillingo?

When you are working with them, what is the revenue sharing like? Do they own the users ?

Anyone have experience working with a publisher?
>> but they aren't going to sell this

Maybe they won't per se, but they are still the holders of all that data, and that data is worth a lot to a lot of people, not all of them have ill intent, but some have, or might come along anytime in the future. Then suddenly you are exposed to the wrong people just because you wanted share your social life with your friends (not the world).

>> This kind of profiling and advertising, to me, at least, is what enables the internet.

The internet is not for-profit.

Maybe what you meant wast that it is what enables companies to offer free web services for the end users and still be for-profit. Though they seldom really disclose the privacy cost to the end user.
Ah, I screwed it up :(. I meant to say A => B /= ~A => ~B to convey the fact that if someone says that all useless things are hobbies, then it doesn't follow that things that aren't useless cannot be hobbies, i.e.: that all hobbies must be useless. But as groovy2shoes and MattyDub pointed out, I did it wrongly. Thanks for the kind interpretation pilgrim689 (and indeed, I could have stated that to make the same point), but I was just wrong.

I think MVP use is getting skewed these days.

Lots of people seem to launch their product under the MVP banner as an excuse for features that are broken or sites that look terrible. However, they're actually launching that MVP to large audiences like "Show HN". It's almost as though they are using MVP as a promotional tool rather than a feedback tool.

Yes, MVP is great, but don't give your MVP to Robert Scoble or HN for that matter. MVP is good for 100 people, not 1000.
Im trying to find a person that is in the uk nam... - JustAnswer
| There were no startups in the USSR because no one was willing to put a large amount of effort into something that would eventually be owned by the government.

While this is correct, people were prohibited to start their own enterprises in the first place. Hence it's not the lack of profits that stopped the people - it's the fear of getting punished by the government.

In my humble opinion, Soviet Union did not prove that society needs self-profit motivation, not in terms of accumulating wealth. What it did prove is that the State will sooner or later collapse(because of the class war) when it threatens, oppresses and all the power is situated in the hands of a few people at the top.
Britain to announce privately-funded science university plan
Wow, way to fail to understand the point of the Lean Startup methodology. This is a hugely misinformed article.

Applying "fit and finish" before the launch makes sense (if you have a launch at all). But this article seems to suggest that you should do this before you even have a product worth launching. The mindset that generates this article is exactly the kind of misconception that leads to completely useless products that don't serve anyone's purposes (but look very nice and scale great), which is exactly what Eric Ries is arguing against.

I don't think he does ignore it. I think you're ignoring the other cases where they've been a latecomer but weren't successful - Zune and Bing, for example. They have finally gotten there with Xbox 360, although one might argue the door was really left open by the (significantly more successful) Wii targeting a slightly different market segment and Sony really stumbling on the PS3. It's not obvious to me that that will translate to success against iOS and Android which are in strong positions and getting stronger.

I'd like to remark that your argument is not valid: To know that your system won't spy on you, all you need is open code (transparency). You don't need it to be free.

Theoretically, you can have a completely unfree system that is completely open at the same time.

Also note that a secondhand book isn't a perfect substitute for a new books. Some people don't want to own second hand books, and many people don't want to give secondhand items as gifts.

On the other hand second hand books often get resold several times. When I was a student and bought secondhand books regularly it wasn't unusual to buy a book that already had several second hand book stores stamps on the first page, a book that I would end up selling myself at a later time.

Depending on how old the article is, the flag can either drop it by hundreds of places, or at least 10 places for a couple of flags. I have done some testing (a while ago), and found that having 2 people flag one of my articles when it had 40/50 points dropped it by 10 places in the next 5 minutes. Unflagging it restored the original position.

Newer articles with fewer points get a much more dramatic effect, however, as far as I can tell.

> Puppet in contrast to other systems emphasised on "define what I want" versus "define what todo", which is a great approach and we've [cdist] shameless cloned this approach.

With cdist and puppet you describe resources by instanciating resource types like Package, CronJob, Service, File, etc. It's very concise and high-level. Types are composable and easy to reuse, so if you see a common pattern in your configuration, you can factor it into a type.

> The minute dead authors could earn anything from copyright, the system should have been considered broken

The system was created to encourage people to invest in the creation of new ideas and products. It's not always just an investment of time, which means you have to make it property that can be owned, traded and sold, with a known term. In your system where copyright dies with the author, the interests of others who might invest in a project or stand to gain from it (like a creator's children) are not looked after. By this mindset, everything Steve Jobs helped to create would now be free for "the public" to do with as they wish, and I imagine a lot of people would have stopped funding Steve's ideas when they found out he was sick.

> You could really turn your proposition the other way around: if someone doesn't want non-paying readers to read what they write, then they should refrain from writing anything.

I could, but it makes no sense to me to tell people who want to be compensated for making something valuable to stop doing it so that we can make whatever remaining works there are public domain.

I think you're right about the points being extreme, but who's to decide that a broke kid taking Photoshop is better than a broke adult? And why is it not the fairest proposition to say that neither is entitled to this luxury product?
No, he's right. Nearly no one is buying an "Android" phone. They're buying Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC, etc. The're buying brands they trust.

Honestly, if MS could just see this is and would make a nice deal with these phone vendors to get Windows on their phones I think Android would be down to a few percentage market share within a year.

Doesn't sound like the problem you are trying to solve has much to do with programming (writing code, design patterns, oop, etc.).

I'm serious.
If you explicitly provide a file by path, then tar doesn't use magic number autodetect, but uses file extension dispatch instead. You would need to pass the data as a stream to force magic number autodetect:

<firefox-9.0.1.source.tar.bz2 tar xaf -

Does that still work? It doesn't for me.

I was using (GNU tar) 1.20 and Debian stable is now at 1.23, but I think that autodetect code went in around 1.18.

However, there should be a reasonable limit, whereby if the item is >£x value, or is claimed to be an antique (or similar), an independent professional who can identify it will be hired -- and charged to whoever they side against (i.e. whoever made the false claim).
Changing nature of Facebook, it was inevitable as they added millions of people. Facebook is not good for people who want thousands of passive followers and symmetric relationships with only a few.
