How many US products are made by prison labour? Who has worse conditions: a Foxconn employee paid a low wage and living in a dorm or a US prisoner deprived of liberty, exposed to violence and paid practically nothing? Who will live better and longer, the grandchildren of Foxconn employees or those of US prisoners?

The US has an astonishingly high incarceration rate compared to other countries thanks to government policy. The US economy clearly benefits from the misery caused by this system. Why would any foreigner want to support it?
I'm in the same boat. I learned vim and when I went to university all they use is emacs. I've tried time and time again but as you say it somehow feels wrong. Why do I have to dislocate my finger just to do a commnad? Vim feels much less in the way when doing stuff.

With that said I'm trying to use emacs org mode to keep myself organized, which works great! But I would never trade it with vim as my code editor, not in a million years. Sorry.

Why wouldn't people compare Kirchner to Hitler exactly? Isn't Kirchner's saber-rattling over the Falklands a "Lebensraum" argument like Hitler's? The British claim to the islands is older than Argentina itself and more importantly the islanders have made their wish to remain British very clear: yet these farcical claims over their land continue. The Falklands have been illegally attacked once already and rather than be ashamed of the action and terrible loss of life it seems most Argentines are just annoyed they didn't win.

Ask HN: Need Help - Best eCommerce Platform
Hey Guys I could really use your expert opinion on choosing the right eCommerce platform this one:

The client sells products in multiple countries, and ships from different countries, so the tool needs to be able to be multistore and handle multiple languages (at first 3 but eventually up to 10) with ease. Right now I'm considering Magento but have found some articles (as of 2008-09 ish) saying it was really slow and buggy.

What can you recommend me?

Thanks in advance!
This looks like a draft version of the book:

Because it would be like an American who complains for the violence of Mexico but buys illegal marijuana and cocaine. He is the cause; but all he does is hoping that others will stop the violence some other way rather than he quitting drugs.
Oh, you show an interstitial to everyone. It's just milder for those in 'friendly' districts, medium-annoying when the legislator is uncommitted, and draconian when the legislator is pro-SOPA. And because of the large size of Senatorial districts (states) and how many Senators are PIPA supporters, plenty of people get the near-total blackout.

The people who get, 'attaboys' for having better local legislators can still be directed to the nearest (or most vulnerable) problem legislators, or fundraising campaigns.

I suspect the 'sting' of being in a bad district could motivate more emotion and action than just a blanket blackout. When people call their friends/relatives in other districts and find who does and doesn't have access, there could be more buzz.

A worldwide blackout just annoys people overseas with silly American parochialism. A nationwide blackout educates, somewhat, but also could be seen as a sort of 'snow day', "ah, well, let's wait it out."

Differential punishment serves to both agitate the relevant voters more – "why are we unable to access reddit when Suzy in Oregon can?" – and focus the emotion against specific actionable targets.
I've found the path of least resistance is to not change the default keybindings of the various emacs packages. Use the vi bindings for text manipulation and when you need to invoke a package function it's back to the ctr/meta chords. It's the text manipulation that's burned into my brain so as long as vimpulse takes care of that I'm mostly happy.

It's true though that if you're heavily invested in vim plugins there's fair time sink in getting up to speed on the emacs equivalents. Everything's a tradeoff.
I have never had a client require a user account which can edit comments but not edit content. This is an extreme edge case.

Residential real estate construction now accounts for nearly ten percent of the country's total GDP -- four percentage points higher than it did at the peak of the U.S. housing bubble in 2005. Bullish analysts have long argued that large-scale urbanization and rapidly rising incomes warrant such an extraordinary boom.

10% of total GDP is significant, but when the economy is growing at 10% a year[1] it can afford to drop quite a lot without necessarily causing an economic meltdown.

To be clear - I'm not claiming that a drop in real estate prices won't cause problems for the entities involved in the Chinese real estate sector. What I am claiming is that it might not be as catastrophic as people expect based on the US experience.

I might be missing something, but it seems to me like @wycats examples could be done quite easily in JS with a few extra return statements and the use of Function.prototype.bind. CoffeeScript handles that quite nicely with its `=>` binding syntax and implicit returns as well if you're into that. https://gist.github.com/1593480
The article author attempted to weasel himself out with that defence as well, but the nonsense of that argument was one of Moglen's main points. It's not just about you, it's about everyone in your network.

To quote it exactly: "You injure other people today also using social media. You’ve informed on them. You’ve created more records about them. You’ve added to the problems not of yourself but of other people. If it were as simple as just you’re only hurting yourself I wouldn’t bother pointing it out to you. See, that’s the difference, okay? The reason that this all works is that even when you know you’re hurting other people, you’re too selfish to stop. And there are hundreds of millions of people like you. That’s why it works."
All content management systems suck. Why? Because no size fits all. At least that's the conclusion I draw after having worked with WP, EE, Drupal, Joomla, Typo3, DotNetNuke, Umbraco, OpenText, Plone, Orchard, OpenText etc..

At one point most projects will hit a wall where the demands outgrow the constraints of the framework. So, if you're lucky, your framework will end up being somewhat flexible. Stability and good testing practices are also important and often neglected.
"At some point, you just have to shut up and make stuff."

This should have been the beginning, middle, and end.

I'm a bit of a stuck record on this issue but my opinion is that the first thing that someone new to Emacs should learn is how to change key bindings. The rough guide line being that Vim key bindings should never be changed but Emacs key bindings always.

Still, unless you start using a vi emulation mode or keychords.el you will always be stuck with the meta keys. For me this was no problem since vi's modal approach to editing always rubbed me the wrong way. (I used Vim for almost 10 years before making the switch to Emacs.)
Not only the book "needs to be taken down from its pedestal" but it's time for the C language itself to go. It was fine language at the time (better than assembly I guess). No more. Not in the 21st century. The most common excuse for sticking with C is efficiency - I pity those who still believe so. Another excuse is extended set of libraries - http://go-lang.cat-v.org/pure-go-libs, when Go was publicly released?

That is, stop writing books about C and start creating new languages.
> Now the code is less readable, because you don't know what the lifetime of your resources are!

You're certainly making a valid point; however, as far as how important this is, the experience of a lot of people out there points in the other direction.

Consider: the lifetime of a Python object is essentially the same as that of a C++ dynamic object owned by a shared_ptr. But you don't see Python programmers complaining that they can't figure out when their objects are going away. In Java it's even worse; an object's lifetime is pretty much whatever the JVM thinks it ought to be. I have seen complaints about this, but not many, and the JVM's reputation as a platform for serious languages remains pretty strong.

On the other hand, memory leaks in C (and C++) programs have been a major thorn in all our sides for decades.

So, yes, when you get assured destruction by using an object whose lifetime is managed for you, you do lose something. But the experience of programmers all over strongly suggests to me that, for most applications, what you get, is much more valuable than what you lose.

This article makes me angry, and the groupthink of most the replies I read here supporting Moglen make me angry too.

You know what causes a real ecological disaster?

Washing Machines.

Yes, FUCKING washing machines.

They use too much of one of the worlds rarest resources (clean water), contribute to global warming and pollute the waste water with phosphates.

On the other hand, they have freed up half the worlds workforce from backbreaking manual labor and contributed to society enough that no less than Hans Rosling calls them the greatest invention of the industrial revolution[1]

Facebook allows companies to sell advertising and allows law enforcement to track you.

On the other hand, it allows quicker and easier communication than ever before, and contributed to the Arab Spring to the point where the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt are known as "the Facebook revolutions" [2][3]

Convenience has costs, but who is Moglen to judge if those costs are worthwhile for everyone?

Edit: To all those claiming this is a strawman - it's not. Moglen failed to point out the benefits of social networking, and I'm using an analogy to show that most things have costs and benefits. Please don't get distracted into an argument about that.

I'd love to see people try and explain how Moglen is right about Twitter (which has much lower privacy costs than Facebook).

But unlike during the prohibition, the vast majority of the people doesn't really care about whether they can run arbitrary programs on their computer. Most are content if it runs Facebook. A sizeable portion would probably even like computers that are as realiable as a dishwasher because they run only certified programs.

That suggests they don't consider them inhumane, (not justified regardless of pay) rather they are economically unjust.

There are dollar values in which many people will work in inhumane conditions, especially if it means supporting their family. Many people would willingly give up half their lifespan if it meant a good life for their children.

If you're willing to commit suicide as an act of protest, then you are truly desperate.

Should I incorporate? How do to it?
I read in the YC app that YC prefers companies that are not incorporated. However, this limits the company to not making any revenue. Furthermore, all of the liability rests firmly on the founders. For those two reasons, I want to incorporate. Is there a best way to incorporate that wont cause a multitude of problems if we (hopefully) get into YC? Or should we just wait?

All good ideas - but it ain't no batman signal.
I'd say doubtful. There definitely are some network effects that can be leveraged by 'coders' but look while we're all twittering and signing digital petitions you know who is actually exerting real political influence...

- Lobbyists who work face to face with politicians

- Corporations with buckets of money

- And most importantly, protestors who can't be ignored by shutting down a computer

Technologists may be building tools around which people can engage in discussion and bond to create a channel for political activity but if you think were going to code our way to a better political structure within the US I would guess you may be disappointed.

The last point should be stronger : Unicode manipulation is complex. Some things that may appear trivial, like comparing two strings in a case independant way, aren't at all. A developper who makes its fast conversion function is simply adding a bug.

And really. If a developer doesn't understand everything regarding Unicode, tell him it's simply mandatory to use UTF-8. Other encodings are for people who really really know what they're doing.

If you depend on a software that is available for Windows only, you're on the borderline whether you're actually using it by choice or not. Especially if the software is Office. At work I have to use Outlook for corporate communication so I run it Windows in a virtual machine. The tools I need for real work are Linux-only (and require native HW access), so this is the only sane choice. Of course, this means I have to have a license for Windows.

Now Visual Studio is a different beast. Comparative tools are definitely available on other OS'es, but many VS users have a preference.
If you have a model that beats the market it some way, you'll profit by making deals that are only available because the market does not understand them as well as your model.

If the market understands your model, you may as well throw it into an index; all opportunity for such deals will be absorbed by the market if it knows of them.

Your aim is to be better than the market.
I'm kind of amazed at some of the completely unsympathetic responses on here and on the original article. There are two distinct issues I see here: 1) whether or not Moglen's tone/attitude was appropriate, and 2) if his arguments were valid. Personally I think he was a bit harsh on her and could have at least expressed his feelings in a more diplomatic manner. She's a journalist calling about a story, not someone on trial. The moralist scolding seemed a bit much.

I also think his premise is a bit extreme... Social Media can be used recklessly, but so can many things. Suddenly people are saying that if your friends are on Facebook then you should get new friends... I must admit this sentiment sounds extremely reactionary and way over the top. We seem to be operating under the assumption that all information shared about another human being is potentially dangerous... Really? I'm pretty sure that most of what gets shared on Facebook is fairly innocuous, if not utterly mundane.

>That is, unfortunately, the economic force that is allowing these conditions to persist.

No, it's a government problem. An individual is not on equal footing with a group of individuals (e.g. a company). Therefor either the government must allow workers to unionize or it must enforce some level of sane working conditions.

If your "free market" allows companies to exploit people to the point that working slowly kills them and not working kills them quicker then I want nothing what-so-ever to do with it.
