To me it seems that he wanted to go the CSS3 way rather than the Facebook way of doing things (multiple dom elements for single UI parts).

How would you propose funding the building of roads, though?

The problem, as I see it, is that road funding is particularly prone to monopolistic abuse - if you're the only one collecting tolls in a certain area, you could literally charge whatever you wanted, without any possibility that a competitor could undercut you because the realities of 2-dimensional geometry prohibit them from building competing roads.

I'm not saying that there's necessarily no way to manage this, but this is the obvious complaint that most people in favor of public roads see, and I've never heard a compelling argument as to why the road-owners wouldn't charge excessive fees for transit in the absence of some top-down regulation preventing them from doing so.
Designing a UI for an enterprise, complex, commercial browser app.
I am designing a very complex enterprise application. I have developers with me that can make all the UI ideas possible. And I've done a great deal of UX work leading up to designing the UI and interactions.

My quandary is that I don't really have any experience with highly enterprise style products.

Essentially I am building a browser based product, which basically functions like a website. And I have license to make it as usable and friendly as possible.

So, instead of looking at startup apps or well done websites, where does one go to see inspiration or ideas for highly complex, well done enterprise/commercial apps that run in a browser?
> What does "winning points" have to do with anything?

I'm guessing these "points" are on the axis of your company's reputation or visibility among VCs/investors/other groups of rich people who attend parties together—and also that the author believes that that reputation plays a role in who large corporates like Google decide to buy, and how much they're willing to pay.

Of course, one of the signs of a VC-focused mindset is that it doesn't occur to the author that one might run a company not to seek a buy-out, but rather to actually get some black figures on the balance sheet and pocket them.
That probably explains it. I was wondering why all of the sudden a mainstream media company would start talking about it, as it's generally in all the MSM's benefit to let SOPA pass and kill all their Internet competitors, and even use it as a tool for political censorship under the disguise of "copyright infringement".
UI elements typically gets assigned an instance of an object (target) and a symbol representing the object's method (selector).

In Cocoa touch, it's:

[mybutton addTarget:someObjectMaybeSelf action:@selector(onClick) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchupInside];

It's broken into separate methods in Cocoa but it's similar. You don't need to and usually don't create separate classes for targets.

The framework usually use delegates when a data source is needed. (for example to build up a table, you need to specify how many rows, what goes into each row etc).

Cocoa touch is really clean. Cocoa is still nice but a little messy.
I personally don't have any problem with your games, but you and I aren't the people who have to be satisfied. Your competitor's legal departments are.

There's plenty of precedent for overzealous legal departments sending out baseless legal threats already. Under SOPA, they get to shut you down right away, then leave you to clean up the resulting mess.
IMHO.

I believe that master the ability of learn on-the-fly is the most important thing. We simply do not have enough time to learn all knowledge.

Whatever you are working on, if you ask deeper and deeper questions, you will be able to continue to learn. And this way learning is much less abstract.
well, I don't know if this is any indication of the overall public opinion, but every comment I've looked at on the CNN article is anti-SOPA, I don't know if its the "reddit-types" who have found the article and are commenting or if its really indicative of the average CNN-reader but, if it is, I think that simply voting these clowns out of office may be becoming a more real possibility.
Exactly. That's why I don't think we're there yet.

Nobody has found an outlet for all of this frustration that's capable of creating change just yet.
Moreover, not raising money from professional investors is—in all honesty—a potential red flag. It’s rare for an entrepreneur to run a business and spend millions of dollars without having any outside help. When that is the case, it’s a normal reaction to wonder: why? Why hasn’t outside money been raised? It’s unfair, but saying that it’s never come up would be a lie.

I'm sure github wouldn't have any trouble raising money if they wanted it.

I had the opportunity to visit the Watson Research labs a few weeks ago and meet with several researchers working on dynamic languages there. IBM is not like any Silicon Valley company, researchers have individual offices, there isn't tremendous shared space, and you pay for stuff in the cafeteria. But they have brilliant scientists and engineers there. It sounds like Ferrucci's attempts collaboration were much closer to a Bay Area startup than the IBM I saw.
You don't vote against a candidate, you vote for one.

Though buried as an aside in the fourth part of the piece, the author does mention that he is the moderator on the Rybka forums.

"In my capacity as Rybka forum moderator I have access to posting statistics."

Indeed, his moderator status leads to one of his core debunking arguments. Some Dr. Hyatt guy, apparently a key individual behind the accusations against Rybka, appeared to be making the attack a full-time job, shifting the arguments as needed to defend a guilty conclusion.

Though he doesn't say it, I suspect that noticing this was impetus for the author to seriously tackle a look at the charges from the defense perspective.

Not that there is anything wrong with either side picking a conclusion (guilty, not guilty) and then working hard to support it. However, part of the credence given the initial charge is that it resulted from an independent search for truth. This does not appear to have been the case. Instead, the charges were the prosecution half of an adversarial process. In these articles, now we see the defense.

Caveat: all I know about this matter is what I read in the four part article posted here.

I wonder how many software developers take a dump of the source code repo on their way out of a company which has gone under? my guess is that most would, if only under the pretense of keeping some sort of historical backup in case noone else does... [admission: I did do that myself one time].
Those hypothetical money trees probably seem real to SOPA supporters. Among other things, this article explores how some wild guesses about hypothetical job losses from a 1986 speech keep getting cited as facts by Congress:

The code in this post seem a bit unpythonic and "improvable" for me:

- "if len(list) > n" should probably be "if n in list".

- The function has a side effect (changing the list), this is to be avoided when avoidable

- Memoization is not part of the logic, thus is better done with a decorator (which would solve above side effect issue)
The other awesome thing about tmux is being able to use it for remote pairing with vim or emacs. When working remotely, I use this a lot.

You make the fatal but tragically common mistake of assuming that if somebody thinks a program is worth $0.00, they would think it would also be worth $[however much it legally costs] if getting it for free was not an option.
I see what you're getting at, and I think that those piracy rates are at best accurate and at worst much higher. And as a game dev I would like to see more people paying for the software I work on.

However, there's absolutely no reason to suspect that SOPA will make a significant dent in piracy rates. On the contrary, as well as making little piracy impact, the industry will become increasingly constrained and there will be greater risk for developers.

I'll pirate your app right now. That doesn't mean that you lost any revenue, since I wouldn't have bought it if the pirated version wasn't available.

Pirated copy =/= lost revenue.

Most tech work here is offshore development for US and UK. I've been observing tech sector in Nepal since last 5-6 years and in recent years have seen improvements in tech use/acceptance too. For the entrepreneurial growth we lack people to invest on ideas. For eg. take this project, I don't know how far would I be able to run this project with my own budget.

We have resources, environment but most students or even entrepreneurial folks would want out of Nepal. I can't say about others but I won't be leaving, i see lots of things doable here.
This approach may work in a best case scenario when you have great programmers. However, there are very few companies in the world that have the kind of developers that worked for NT. What would you recommend for the average case?

How long before the Mexican version gets a 3D upgrade?
I wish more "library" would be written that way. I.e. make the 80% use case as simple and clear as possible, and let the programmer change it if needed.. instead of providing hundreds of useless configuration (knowing exactly that you'll encounter a case where you'll have to hack your way in the code anyway because it wasn't part of the "configuration").

I'm not bitching in any way on the existing jQuery plugins. I used (and keep using them) again and over again.. but for good javascript developers, simple plugins easily hackable is most often than not the easiest way to get the thing done.

For instance, Django provides a good authentication system.. and then lot of different ways to customize it. It's good.. but it happened to me lots of time to hack my own solution as what I wanted to do wasn't part of their initial "configuration" thingy. Some django plugins were created for that, but then again, they were hard to hack as 80% of the code base was to handle all the possible "configurations". So, basically, sometime the easiest way to get something done is just to find a snippet of code that does the minimum and code the missing part.. instead of using a huge plugin that does everything but still need to be hacked (Which is way harder the more the plugin is complex).
However, when submitting the article to HN, please don't submit the "print" link. The print version is often formatted with smaller type and with a very wide column. It is generally harder to read on a desktop screen, and for many it is impossible to read on a mobile device. The print page often does not contain a link back to the non-print article, so it is hard for people to get the normal version if all they have is the print link. As a further annoyance, sometimes print links actually invoke the print dialog on the client.

People who prefer to read the print link, on the other hand, can usually easily find it on the normal page.

So, I'll leave off debating the validity of anything you said and remark that that's entirely beside the point.

Feel free to argue that our economic system isn't capitalist; it's largely an academic discussion. It's called capitalist, wrongly or not, and it's that system that is what's meant here.

He's not talking about anti-business legislation, the picking of winners and losers, etc. He's talking about the unwillingness of government to intervene in business to prevent it from abusing the citizens. He's talking about the byproducts of the mania for deregulation in the name of the free market that's been a hallmark of the rhetoric of the right the US for decades.

Don't let details distract for the actual topic of discussion here. They matter, but not so much that they warrant ignoring the original complaint.
Ask HN: Why hasn't anyone bought airtime against SOPA?
With Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk making large investments in private spaceflight ventures, it seems like the tech community has cash to spare. Since the mainstream media is not covering SOPA, and with so much to loose for the internet, why haven't tech companies bought commercials on mainstream media to inform people about SOPA?
Vuzix to build 'Smart Glasses' with transparent displays
I really want to see Microsoft be successful with this. I was due for a phone upgrade months ago but I'm personally waiting for Sprint to release a new WP7. I really love the phone.

I also thought it was interesting that I recently had a neighbor get his first smart phone ever and he chose a WP7 and he loves it. He made the choice on his own (no other nerds were consulted) which I think is a good sign.
This is interesting but the thought of installing and configuring all of the underlying platforms, languages, frameworks and databases (assuming we all have hardware to run them) gives me a headache.

I'd much rather see a 50 apps in 50 weeks with a much smaller base number of languages. Almost like a 50 design patterns/recipes in 50 weeks for a few languages.

Okay, how about this one?

Game of Thrones costs $4.5 million per episode. Would HBO really make them at that cost if every one of their competitors could re-broadcast them the following day, without any kind of payment to HBO? If Target and Best Buy could just sell the DVD and Blu-ray a week later without any kind of payment to HBO?

I doubt it.

I'm not saying we won't have films -- we would -- but they wouldn't be even remotely as costly as what we have today. (Not everything one thinks that's a bad thing.)

For me it means always ask questions. I originally felt the "fool" when I asked people to repeat really basic things that I didn't quite catch. But over time I've learned people's re-articulations and elaborations have been one of the best ways I've learned things and identified new areas.

There is some real data, but it does look like a case of research confirming common sense. Anyway, it make sense once you see it, but I probably wouldn't have thought of it myself. I enjoyed it.
We've worked with ColorBox (http://jacklmoore.com/colorbox/) for the past couple years and it does the job well, just have to clean up the IE6 cruft.

I won't bother arguing with the received dogma of neo-classic economics and accept your premise that: that businesses strive to maximize profits, and that they should do so.

That wasn't my point. My point is that microsoft maximizes profits by making licensing so complicated that a significant percentage of their customer base over-pay for licensing rather than take the risk of being under-licensed.

Since you took the path of least resistance, you may have overpaid for licensing. If your goal, as a business, is to maximize profits, well, then, you've worked against your long-term goal.

It may be that the cost of overpaying microsoft for licenses was cheaper than the opportunity cost of figuring out how to pay less for licenses.

Which brings me back to my main point, it is no disgrace, as an engineer, to decide that Microsoft licensing is a problem better avoided.
Great concept. Best of luck!

I don't get how these people seem to think it's their right to start recording just because they are there. You paid to watch a show. You did not pay for the right to record it and share it later. You did not pay for the right to annoy all the audience members around you (and ruin the show they paid to see).

Hopefully we'll see more comedy clubs (and other venues) enforce a no recording policy - coupled with ejections... and bans for the belligerent - so the rest of us can get back to actually enjoying a show.

Microsoft won't win with WP7 until they make it in their partners interests for it to win. Google did that by giving them a say in how the operating system looked and worked and a cut of revenue from apps.

One counterargument would be that Google is giving its partners a reason to jump ship, because Google is producing branded tablets and phones to compete with its own partners.
The question is only interesting when discussing a startup that could do either one.

A number of businesses can only be done with VC (they require too much upfront capital), and many can't be done with VC (angel, perhaps, but not VC) because the opportunity is too small.

My take is that if you can do either, if you intend to be acquired, you should take VC; if not, bootstrap away! (And reconsider your business – it's no fun to compete in markets where your competition is VC-backed and you're bootstrapping yourself.)
