Ron Paul currently leads the majority of Iowa polls.

IIRC Mr. Paul was a minoritary candidate in last elections. Please, people from the USA, Could you tell what has changed? Or is Iowa special?

HTML5 is an umbrella term. Get over it.
If he became president, you'd likely see him close down many government functions and make strong pushes towards states rights and small federal government.

He is a hero to many because he holds stances that are antiwar and, generally, pro-individual liberty.

I must say that I would be scared of a Paul presidency but I also love the way he's shaken up the republican party.
yes, it's the same story when someone asks for an IDE - most guides are just a list of 20 IDEs without any commentary or opinion - despite the fact that some of them represent centuries of developer effort, while others are one guy's 6 month project. It took me a while to find the one I like (Wing IDE)

I don't think the leak of the password hashes is that serious. Sh*t happens.

What I find inexcusable 1) the hashes being weak and not salted (I couldn't confirm that - and yes, I downloaded the data) and 2) the leak of credit card data, billing addresses and other personal info. That information should never, ever, under no circumstances, be accessible.
My users would not be this excited if a "sync now" button on the web needed to be pushed. The point of Dropbox integration is to upload photos without leaving Lightroom/Aperture/etc. and not having to install a plugin: http://pgunupudi.blogspot.com/2009/09/dropbox-support-for-ou...
Notice that the W3C is not so stupid as to interrupt society when society decides to lavish tons of attention and love on their brand, even if society has decided to redefine it in the process.
This is ludicrous. That's like blaming the rape victim for wearing alluring clothing going to a club, but not carrying a gun and learning martial arts to defend themselves.

Yes, Stratfor is guilty of having lax security (I've been affected by this), but the bottom line is that these hackers are the ones that committed the crime and released this credit card information.
Sure both. But nation states are far, far, far more dangerous.
Fifteen years ago, I had an interview for this job. This was before the Internet was popular, and it was advertised in The Guardian.

Worth applying just for the interview, to have tea and a personal chat with Stephen Hawking.

One of the questions was "You're in the US, and the Professor's screen shatters. It's Thanksgiving Day, and no shops are open. What do you do?"

We quickly realised that I wasn't good enough at electronics to do the job!

I found it hard talking to Hawking, as I didn't know what to do while he is composing his sentences. It seems rude to look at his screen, or out the window, or to stare at him.

> Look up HTML5 for yourselves. Understand what it can do, when it will do it and what it will never do.

It appears the omission of the canvas element and API, and WebGL, which would contradict this:

> There is nothing in the HTML5 specification for animations, moving or otherwise visually manipulating anything.

... would suggest the author isn't taking a leaf out of his own book.

I think it's disingenuous to consider HTML5 and other technologies in isolation, because you can't feasibly use this stuff without HTML5, or something that attempts to mimic its functionality.
Unfortunately you can't really cite something that isn't there. My point is that there's nothing in SOPA that says what Tom's Hardware claims.

The bill breaks down into two main sections.

Section 102 covers foreign sites only. It grants the government the power to tinker with DNS and remove sites from Google search results. It only applies to sites registered overseas that have no US points of contact. In other words, it's an attempt to deal with sites that moved overseas to avoid the DMCA. This is the core of why the bill exists. Debate the DNS technical issue all you want, but since Tom's Hardware isn't overseas, none of this applies to them.

Section 103 extends the DMCA to allow individuals to send takedown notices to payment providers and ad networks. Again, I can't cite something that isn't there, but you can read the bill (it's really rather short) and see that it explicitly does not mention DNS. That stuff requires action by the Attorney General and separate approval by a Judge (section 102).

Both section 102 and 103 powers further limited ONLY to sites that "primarily designed or operated for the purpose of, has only limited purpose or use other than" copyright infringement (17 USC 501), circumventing copyright (17 USC 1201), or trademark infringement (18 USC 2320).

Is Tom's Hardware a site that is primarily designed for the purpose of copyright infringement? Not at all. The bill doesn't even apply to them.

There are certainly parts of the bill worth tweaking and debating, but it's going to be hard to make progress on that in the total absence of facts.

I also think it was a huge mistake for PG to boycott and uninvite people from the demos over SOPA.

If a company stands up and expresses an opinion which matches its business interests during the debate over an unpassed bill -- that somehow renders them unworthy to talk to entrepreneurs who have a different opinion? The bill is in flux and the debate is heated (and, as shown above, largely uninformed).

If anything, the way to fix some of these idiotic, outdated copyright laws is to combine great tech with the IP assets held by the old guard and open up new opportunities. But PG doesn't want the two sides even talking while the debate is under way? That's premature and shortsighted.

It's actually quite lucky that the world has a sensible longitude upon which an International Date Line can be dropped. Imagine if there was an unbroken ring of industrialised nations going all the way around the Earth, I can see a situation where each nation wants to do business with the nation to its immediate west so badly that they just adjust their clocks forward and forward over the course of decades. Eventually, every nation on Earth has done it, and an entire day has essentially disappeared from the calendar - except that the UK is at UTC+24:00 now.
When people are asked which republican candidate they'd vote for, most of them say "none of the above". Of the people that have decided on someone, Ron Paul seems to get the majority.
If I do that in public there are laws and elected officials, there are courts and ways for me to appeal. A clear and explicit notification is always given and if not I can sue. Most importantly, some things I’m definitely and always allowed to do are explicitly written down.

If you are in favor of Google treating their site like a public space then Google is doing very poorly.

(It’s a stupid comparison that gets us nowhere.)

FTR, Cloudfront is actually insanely expensive, even in comparison to "normally considered super expensive" alternatives such as Akamai.

(edit:) Huh... a few months ago Amazon dropped their bandwidth prices by 20%. These new prices are now more in line with "expensive CDN" as opposed to "more expensive than expensive CDNs". Still much more than I'm paying.

That said, I have never been quoted a "per-request" charge by a CDN, so I'm not certain how much more expensive that extra charge ends up making this service (although, of course, for large content that will amortize pretty quickly).

(Finally, Cloudfront has many fewer abilities than the "real CDNs" I've used, fewer POPs, and the story on "how long does my stuff stay in cache" is unclear. They certainly aren't on my radar yet, although they are slowly getting better.)

MaxCDN (subsidiary of NetDNA). They're faster, the support tools are substantially better (invalidation on Cloudfront is the very definition of "suck"), the uptime is better, and the cost is a LOT lower.

Their support for .Net isn't very good, so it took me a while to get things working for their REST services. Overall a much better product with much better support.
I would not want to be a calendar software developer right now.
I didn't mean to imply that the technology stack dictates whether or not an application will be f'ud up. There are plenty of examples of that with all technologies I am sure.

More the point is that if I'm building a brand new "green field" project and I am deciding on technology to use the proprietary and general "locked togetherness" of the MS stack doesn't mean that I definitely won't choose it or that my app will suck because of it but it does mean that the bar it has to reach in terms of technology or productivity is higher than that of a more interchangeable open source/unix solution.

So that is really my response to "Why anyone evaluates .Net as something uniquely different to other languages/frameworks/platforms is beyond me."
Because .Net is the only stack that forces the entire stack on you. OK I'm sure there are others but most of those would not even be on a startups radar in terms of tech solutions.

The platform will always be an issue if I can't just rip it out and replace it when either the vendor loses interest in it or it doesn't provide feature X that I want/need.

Even the most well designed application can't be ported to a platform that simply lacks a complete runtime for it. The best you can hope for is to build the new parts of the code in something else and keep a legacy system running for the proprietary stuff integrate it together and slowly migrate over time.
I'm intrigued. Who should have taken out insurance in the case of Katrina, for example?
HTML5 is different from previous versions of HTML in the sense that it also includes a multi-module API specification; not just a new revision of the mark-up language.

Unfortunately, I don't think the author actually provides any clarity.

Web 2.0 was a marketing term designed to help restore business confidence in the web. HTML5 is likely to be used as similar marketing term - I don't think it's a huge problem.
Not shilling. Take away the DNS portion, take away the government extension portion, but leave Section 103 please:

It extends the DCMA's definition of service providers to include Ad Providers and Payment providers (not DNS, not tinkering with search results). Under VERY LIMITED circumstances, with explicit penalties. So if a site is overseas, devoted solely to pirated content, and is using Google Ads and PayPal to make money -- you can at least send a takedown to the US Companies involved and cut off the revenue if you can't get the content down.

In this case, it also extends Safe Harbor to include Google and PayPal, further protecting them.

To me, this is a sane and sensible extension of the DMCA that reflects 13 years of bad guys coming up with ways to avoid it.
It's interesting to think about consistency as something that is necessarily valued. I think the naive rationale goes something like this, "Well a politician should be consistent because they must represent the will of the constituency which elected them, thereby enfranchising those people and validating the institution of democracy." However, that said, consistency can be a burden. Imagine this applied to the startup world. I shudder to think of a founder who is unwavering in their convictions about their business model, i.e. wholly uncompromising. Today things like lean are popular methods that advocate quick iteration as your data changes, nearly the opposite of holding one and only one consistent position. But being dynamic and changing your product as new data are available is arguably a key strategy to avoiding waste and more importantly, producing something people actually want. I suppose then you could argue it really isn't the same as someone like Paul who is advocating for constitutional consistency. But on the other hand the constitution was written over three hundred years ago, although I think it's paramount to protect the rights as allotted in the Bill of Rights I don't necessarily think that the constitution insomuch as it exists as a legally-binding document, needs to be adhered to without the consideration that iteration may need to be made on the intent of the original authors with respect to the ever-changing world. That is to say that the document was written with a certain intent, so long as we respect that essence we should be able to work within that as a framework that isn't wholly limiting to the literal wording; in fact the constitution has already been amended, if that's what it takes to convince purists then maybe that's what should happen. Ron Paul is saying, quite literally, that he wants to limit the govt to do nothing but what is legally provisioned in the constitution, i.e. most federal programs should be stopped as they are "illegal".

He says things that politicians don't typically say. The average American politician chants "create jobs" when he orders breakfast.

Paul says things that sound insightful and refreshing on the surface, when heard in terms of a soundbite. Most of his fans don't dig much deeper.

He would be a horrific president, but he's having a positive impact. By speaking his mind and talking about things that don't make it out of the PR machine of the mainstream political parties, he's giving air to important issues.
Except insurance against "acts of God" is extremely hard (and expensive) to get. The free market has spoken: when emergency strikes, f*ck the poor people.

I'll just set up every straw man and let you tear 'em down, I guess.

Reading isn't always just distraction, in the same way that the internet isn't and, as you've said, you use the internet for Wikipedia, Khan Academy videos, etc.

I just bought Ron Paul's "End the Fed" book (it's on sale in hardcover at Amazon), which I feel will give me a more informed position in politics. You'll have to pardon my belief that politics matter, and aren't a waste of time.

The book I'm currently reading is Higbee's "Your Memory : How It Works and How to Improve It", which I believe will help me extend my mnemonic memory, which will allow me to remember the things that never stuck with rote memory (capitals of all the states, periodic table, presidential terms, etc.)

These aren't fiction (well, depends on how you interpret "End the Fed" I guess), and aren't just a 'distraction', at least in my opinion.

Even if these things ultimately get categorized as 'Entertainment', I don't know that to be a problem either. The mind needs entertainment, and if trying to enrich your experiences and imagination is a 'waste of time', then I don't know what isn't.

What's the end game for watching Khan Academy videos? To know more? To be more successful? To make more money?

I don't know that any of those motivations (other than the first) is philosophically any better than reading for entertainment.
It's an overloaded umbrella term, largely for things that have existed for a long time, which inflates expectations for change.
About 10 years ago, American Express had a service where you could create one-time credit card numbers for using it online. I loved it.

For whatever reason, a couple of years later, they got rid of the service. It's times like these when a service like that would have been perfect.

To simplify things, Iowa is basically the first state to start voting for candidates. Four years ago Mr. Paul was generally getting like 5% nationally and with a concentrated effort on Iowa ended up with 10% of the vote. This year he's getting like 10-12% nationally and 20+% in Iowa. Paul actually leading several polls in Iowa is something that was not even fathomable four years ago.

A vote for Paul can be taken to mean many different thing; I wish that - regardless of what one thinks about his electability or desirability as president - such votes would be interpreted as a measure of support for basic civil liberties that no other candidates (including Obama) seem to care about. But that's probably hoping for too much!
After Katrina he made remarks[1], and here I'm paraphrasing, that amounted to saying that neighboring states shouldn't have to pay for the misfortune of other states, i.e. through FEMA.

That reminds me of this rule of thumb: "If your OS crashes and you're on Windows, you have a software problem. If your kernel dumps and you're using Linux, you have a hardware problem."

It's a good rule of thumb because it's usually true, but when it isn't you can waste a lot of time and/or money.

I do know that part of Windows' poor reputation comes from people blaming it when they actually have hardware problems...

Yeah, his message was 5548 characters (so the URL is at least 7380) which is way too long for the generally accepted 2000 character limit. So this particular protocol could use some enhancements - maybe a feature to break up messages into several parts represented by other bit.ly addresses. This would keep URL length under control
Part of it is an obsession with being consistent instead of being right.
Um, anyone who wants something insured? Life insurance, homeowners insurance, automobile insurance, agricultural insurance, etc. I think most policies refer to things like hurricanes as "acts of God".
WebGL is kinda cool since it runs on the browser without plugins. But it's just a stripped down version of OpenGL with a feature set that roughly corresponds to a GPU circa 2004.

This demo is kinda nice, it runs fast on the GPU but visually it's not much more than palette rotation plasma effects from 1980's and 90's. (Or did I miss something, I was kinda looking forward to see the "water surface" in 3d with lighting and reflection, was that hidden somewhere?)

Don't get me wrong, I like that people write little demos like this and WebGL makes them pretty easily accessible (OpenGL is a bitch to get running). But I'm still kind of frustrated every time something gets hyped and/or HN'd just because it's WebGL, even if we have all seen similar effects a decade ago in demoscene parties.

So keep on writing 'em demos but please stop hyping about WebGL too much. Instead put it to real use and show some games or products with it.

I found the blog post about the demo (here: http://massa.me/blog/?p=1) more interesting than the demo itself.

It's both. Google gets (ab)used by the US government at least; here is a high-profile case, where they fought the secrecy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3096888.

My Reaction to Boxee 1.5 PC Update
The first comment on TC is pretty self explanatory:

HTML5 provides the structure, and the API's for Javascript to easily do its work. It's not supposed to do the drawing, animation, whatever. Javascript is supposed to do that. CSS3 for the design.

The problem is, that there is no collective name for HTML5, Javascript and CSS3, so people just call it HTML5, collectively. It's not 100% correct, and this is the first reason why you are confused.

So, it's only a terminology issue.
