I just called my senators in CA and was kind of shocked to get a real person. Of course, they didn't patch me through to the Senator but hopefully they are getting bombarded by anti PIPA calls and can relay this to their bosses.

So have a quick blurb ready to convey to a real person. I'm sure they are overwhelmed juggling calls. Also, be polite. Being rude undermines the effort.
when you compare the cost to benefit ratio of an MBA program to learning to code, the choice is obvious: learn to code. The only exception is if you're going to an M7 MBA program.
Pretty sure it's using the fugitive.vim git plugin.

> It's natural to blame Google for this... [b]ut really, it's that site's developer's fault for using nonstandard features

You talk as if blame is a conserved quantity. Just because it's the developer's fault for doing something, doesn't necessarily mean that it's not Google's fault as well for enabling them to do so.

When Google makes these technologies, they are aware of how they will, or can, be used, and that it may involve some fragmentation of the web. Aware of these consequences, they went ahead and released the technologies anyways. In my mind, that entails them a degree of responsibility for the consequences.

It's also difficult for me to take them at their word when they say "we think this problems an acceptable cost to move the web forward," because they also happen to benefit from this fragmentation. I don't think they're being intentionally duplicitous, I just don't think it's possible for anybody to make fully rational decisions in such a situation.

Of course. And 90% of entrepreneurs fail.

Quite a bit of underestimating what it takes to run a business flying around here. Few people who actually run a business will describe the process as easy, mostly because the challenges are endless, beyond "learning to code". But don't confuse "getting an MBA" with running a business.
Actually, in this case, we're blaming A for the acts of B, in B's role as an employee or contractor working on behalf and at the direction of A.

In the case of SOPA, when a large user-generated content site is blocked because of one piece of copyrighted content, then individuals A through ZZZZZ are being punished for the acts of a completely unrelated B who just happened to use the same free service they did.

Does that second part really apply to mobile development though? Most people only use one phone, or maybe two, for anything more involved than making a call.
$1k also sounds cheap for an image slider, assuming that it was made from scratch, tailored for the client's specific purposes and had all the related issues (cross browser, graceful fallback, etc etc) taken care of.

If the task could've been solved by configuring any of the 9000 free image sliders out there (I've opened sourced a dojo-powered one too), then $1k is really expensive.
The article is about arranging atoms on a surface with a scanning tunnelling microscope. You you don't seem to be counting this required surface it in your "storage material". And that's still ignoring all the machinery needed to actually arrange/detect the atoms.
As for 1st point, check out section "Pure Android". It says you shouldn't copy UI style from other platforms. I think this could be extended to major versions of single platform too. App with Holo theme on Froyo phone would look very out of the place, I think.
Interesting, I think it depends on your situation which route you take if you're coming straight out of college I think it's much easier to find a classic "co-founder"

Once you're in the "real world" with an income etc. You have more options as to how you approach things.

For example I happen to work inside of a old media industry that my company is going to bring into this century. I have access a support network, industry contacts and advice from people who will be my future users and supporters.
I can't express enough how valuable it can be to sit down and speak with people who have been working in the field for 20, 30 or 40 years over a cup of coffee. it gives you a different perspective and it helps to get paid while getting the experience that will be helpful in growing your business.

Everyone has a different path to get to where they want to be I think the most important thing is that you commit yourself to the journey.
How I got into MIT when I was 14
To me the huge irritation with time picking in a lot of Android apps is that they usually force me to specify a fully populated "minutes" field. IIRC, in iOS most apps instead round to ~5 minute intervals. 99% of the time, that is what I want. If you round to 5 minute intervals, there are only 12 possible minute values, not 60. This makes it a lot less work to find what you want and get that calendar appointment scheduled or that alarm clock set up.
He doesn't mischaracterise it at all. He says it's fine for non-commercial use in response to someone who says everyone singing it is a pirate. The uses you describe are commercial uses, value-adding to commercial ventures, not a bunch of friends singing happy birthday, which is what the 'everyone's a pirate' comment is implying. The wrong comment went dead, methinks.

Can someone fill me in on the first step a client (BT) would take to find its first peers? That part is a bit magic to me right now. What would be the first IP it would query and how would it know?
For various definitions of "instant", I guess.

I move around a lot and I want my editor (and my shell, for that matter) to be ready the instant I hit enter.
Wow, I didn't see this before. I can understand filtering certain terms for court requests, but voluntarily? It looks like Google is attacking distribution methods of content with such broad filtering. Probably to make compromises with the anti-Internet activists. Now judges can interpret it to mean that Google can happily censor any results for certain words as it has been done in other anti-Internet regimes. What scumbags all round.
If Wikipedia follows through, I definitely intend to donate more than one dollar. I hope this can get some traction, as it would really help the fight against SOPA if they participated.
If the TPB were to actively oppose SOPA, it would just give the SOPA proponents more to work with - "Look, TPB is against it, so it must be a good thing!".
Leahy Recommends Setting Aside Controversial PROTECT-IP Court Provision
One of the nice features of the Android hierarchy viewer (provided with the Android SDK) is that it lets you dump your app's visual structure as a PSD with layers - very useful for working with a designer. Ask your developer!
Freenet isn't really good for this either - it's basically static data, too.
I know some will criticize this is ticky-tacky, but it's one small thing that, when added with a lot of other little details, make Android feel like it's still designed by engineers.

They've "touched nearly every pixel" and "App icons are works of art in their own right" but the contact name on their contacts icon is "Lorem Ipsum". Not exactly a warm, human feel.

There are three main methods (in order of preference):

1. Use a cached list from a previous run. This is ideal in terms of load balancing, and also helps with bootstrap time if your IP hasn't changed, so all major torrent clients have such a cache.

2. Ask peers you're connected to via a traditional tracker and .torrent file. This is the next best thing, but can only be used if the first torrent you download is via a traditional tracker.

3. Use some bootstrap peers hardcoded into the torrent client. Has a single point of failure, but it works.

Each torrent client can use a different set of bootstrap peers, note - they're nothing special, just a DHT peer that has the bandwidth and CPU power to deal with bootstrap requests (which isn't a very high hurdle - you only get hit once, on the initial install, or if the client's been shut down for so long it no longer has any valid peers). Or the user might even supply their own, if need be.
The anorexic startup: A fable of drugs, sex and C++ [pdf]
I would treat this announcement as vapourware ...

"Rhombus Tech" parent company is "RH Technology Ltd", which is located at "Wessex House, Oxford Road, Newbury RG14 1P". Wessex House is the location of a services office company called "Inigo Business Centres" (http://www.inigo.co.uk/)

... This does not look like a company with the resources for mass production in the near future.

It's one thing for a group to tell you that it will sell you for $3 a quad-core SoC with 16GB of RAM that will work on a watch battery, it is another thing to do it. It only makes sense to compare this product to the rPi once it has started rolling off the production line.
I support the blackout, and the company I work at is trying to figure out how to support it (we aren't consumer facing), but isn't influencing the site through money the kind of thing Wikipedia wanted to avoid by not allowing advertisements?
Ill try bing for a bit, though the first search gave me a glimpse and it was not much different... classic add on top of search results. And it still looks like google a bit, but who can't look like google? If you don't look a bit like google you are too different and you are doomed right away.
That would be nice, but unfortunately it's not really the case. It's quite difficult to make a secure distributed system that allows anyone to join (as opposed to a closed darknet).

Here are a couple examples of attacks that DHT is vulnerable to:

Leahy Offers to Remove Net-Altering DNS Redirects in Anti-Piracy Bill
He makes a legit point, and he even raises the "Microsoft Monoculture" issue, asking why the folks alarmed about MSFT aren't alarmed by GOOG. I think they (and we) should be alarmed.

Nevertheless, where are all the people, pundits, piemen and PR flacks that arose back when Dan Geer et al raised that monoculture issue? Whenever someone seriously raises a software monoculture as an issue, The Big Guns come out to discredit that someone, and to dismiss the issue. Where are the pundits now?
The biggest problem for me is the uncertainty and inconsistency. Do you always remember the previous screen you were on in any app hours ago? What if you got to the song from some other screen? I would constantly have to "guess", what is this app going to do, take me back to where I previously was or to a higher level in the app. It needs to be consistant, back is back and navigating within the app needs to be obvious and on the UI itself.
They announced that they were planning on doing this right when magnet links came out. I haven't used .torrent files since I discovered magnet links and I actually find they more convenient than downloading a torrent file.

Can we get a [2009] in the title?

It would be interesting to see some updated numbers on this, especially from SO. While I don't imagine many programmers are using Bing, it would be interesting to see where DuckDuckGo ranks.
I don't know about for non-programmers but I'd certainly like to see more screenshots/examples - especially for projects where it's relatively easy, like JS.

I see innumerable github links to JS libraries especially and I just don't have the time to evaluate the code on all of them. A little demo can make the world of difference.
This blog post is from 2009!!! An in-page search for 2012 gets zero results.
Sort of a silly thing to bring up, but at my previous job bitbucket was down so often we started calling it sh*tbucket. At my current gig we're on github and it seems far more reliable.

Colluding friends and businesses that you make money from and for is a dangerous mistake. Also, yes.. when I'm serious about something I make ultimatums. "Dude, if you're gonna keep smoking meth then I frankly can't hang out with you anymore."

Incidentally, I've got lots of friends and none of them do meth (at least, in front of me).

Enough with friends, back to businesses. Businesses that flip the bozo bit when getting ultimatums about their income won't last long. GoDaddy is probably the most arrogantly run business I can think of at the moment, and putting money where mouths are even gave them pause.

Hi,
You are in the right place on HN. I d suggest you get rid of the anxiety. As tech people we have the ability to create stuff that other 'mere mortals' find amazing and useful. You should think about that more.. not just that but find a problem and solve it.
About being your own man it starts from within you and is not just something that happens to you. If you started a business you'd depend on your clients. As Ceo you are answerable to the board- they'd be hoping you dont screw things up. So it never ends.. things important to us will always be in the hands of others- also we need to give them what is important to them by solving problems. You are free first from within!! Good luck!!
Noo why have you done that...

Seriously I like is a lot, very well thought.

Why Google's "Search, plus Your World" Is Doing It Wrong
Nice Work!

I have been working a lot with JSONP lately it's a great way to bring content Cross domain/into Apps. I just recently finished writing a Webservice/iPhone implementation.

Something to consider, try preloading the content to give the user a smoother experience. My UITableViews (iPhone) were a bit clunky until I got around to pre-caching my JSON results.

Anyway, Keep up the good work!
Microsoft does the same with their Facebook integration and even a “cluttered” Google is still superior: http://marketingland.com/twitter-google-wwe-bing-3206

The fact that search engines can be swapped on a whim nullifies antitrust concerns, and as for the features in question they can be toggled over and even turned off completely if you don't find value in them, thus I fail to understand the brouhaha involving this feature and certain bloggers pretending to be lawyers.
I'm not entirely sure that was the terms of the agreement. If I remember correctly, Google showed those tweets at the top of the SERP. How is much the #1 spot on all Google SERPs worth?
This is genius. I'm going to do something like this.
You should rename about to options (or make a second link).

Listing options in an about link is counter intuitive.
I understand your points, I think -- you're talking far more about taste than about ethics.

"Ethics" is about right and wrong -- what actions harm people on the whole, and what actions help them, why and how.

It's not directly related to obeying the law, or following rules. Making decisions that greatly help the general public at the expense of a massive corporation, especially if those actions carry risk (like the risks that come with breaking laws)... that's easily interpreted as highly ethical. I certainly don't know enough about Niel to make any judgements about his ethics either way, but your examples here don't show unethical behavior.

It's actually more ethical if he lowers his own image (by breaking strong taboos) to talk about things that need to be talked about (I'm thinking of his comments about executive lifestyles...).

As a counter-example -- think about the ethics of being a corporate industry leader, and always acting perfectly refined, but still actively screwing your customers as much as you can -- charging far more than your costs, tricking them with hidden & confusing charges, making it extremely difficult for them to get customer support or even to end their contract... is that ethical?

I'm a little surprised all the people who were so up in arms about the Microsoft "monopoly" ten years ago aren't out in the streets today lighting torches and sharpening their pitchforks to go after Google.

Maybe people weren't so up in arms because of Microsoft's monopoly, but rather what they were doing with it. Apple didn't have a monopoly when I stopped being a fan.
I think you're right; and I cede that point. I can't claim that most are infringing.

I know there are some mp3 sites like beemp3 [https://www.google.com/search?q=related:beemp3.com]. I suppose I was thinking about the ease of a human to judge that, yes, beemp3 is nearly entirely made of infringing music. That humans can report these sites and algorithms can find similar sites (and similar files) and develop a pretty decent database of items they could omit from search results. My point is only that it does seem technically feasible.
That's great, good work!
