> Not sure about the phrasing of that argument. If female nurses demanded more wages than male ones, should this opinion be given 95% of the weight?

Never mind, yes: It should be decided in exactly this democratic way. In both cases though, we should hope that the majority is well-informed enough to make a decision. (Oh BTW, democratic decisions are not an axiomatic 'right thing' either, you can have nice discussions about this in China :) )

I can at least understand it takes a bit of engineering to heave a nearly million pound piece of metal in the air. Twitter just doesn't have the same cachet. Hell, it's only 140 characters, how hard could it be?
Just like with a standard keyboard you need to get yourself in a decent ergonomic position before doing prolonged iPad typing. The temptation is a lot stronger on the iPad to fudge a little on the positioning which can very quickly be disastrous.

Namely: 90 degree angle on the elbow joint while making sure you don't slant your wrists up to reach the keys.
I want to see the development process that went into creating some code that later was committed into trunk (and perhaps much much later turned out to have a bug).

With your MQ workflow, you can only ever do this for your own patches.
I sometimes wonder that BitKeeper had allowed kernel developers to use it freely, none of git would have happened. Conversely, does anyone know what's going on with BitKeeper these days? Assumedly they can sell their commercial product to some markets but practically I haven't heard of BK once since git was announced. Potentially a big blunder on their part.
This is not a generational issue, this same kind of political issue has existed in all times in various forms. It is an issue of power and control, power to control distribution channels and who may produce what and when.

Or framed in a better way, before the internet it was about the radio and before that it was about the telegram. The radio was not allowed to be free, pirate stations where setup all over the place and there was a movement for free radio. It was in the spirit of that time to go for the controlled option, laws where setup to prevent independent broadcasters, without the many small radio broadcasters input to the law.

The issue is not the same, it is very similar, It is not a generational issue.

Baby boomers made the internet, baby boomers where the hippies, they are not clueless about internet or freedom. Intelligent people make you think they are stupid.

"Disrupt" is used here in its technical sense, as coined by Clayton Christensen in "The Innovator's Dilemma".

That book is advice to incumbents, such as Kodak.
There are some very important differences that make it incomparable:

* libraries have a limited amount of copies. So the amount of non-paying readers is not indefinate

* the readers have to return the copies of books or DVDs they have rented

These inconveniences makes buying a copy for personal use much more attractive for the consumer.

That is why everyone point at victory in the SOPA fight, I say that there won't be victory unless a constitutional amendment protects our rights and we don't have to take arms against a new law every year.

But a derivative work of the base template (normal.dot?), yes. If the template was released as NC-SA, then the resulting document is NC-SA.
Well, starting at about part 6 it displays a copyright message for me so you can maybe call this an extended trailer.

The point is that YouTube doesn't offer a movie experience that is comparable to what was available on megaupload.com
I think that the difference is that the RIAA can't look at your GMail account, so they can't know that you have that MP3. Therefore, they will not file a takedown notice.

BUT... (there's always a but =P ), what happens if you upload a video to YouTube, and you save it also in your gmail.

If someone files a takedown notice on that video, should google also delete from your email ? should they also delete it from every other gmail account that holds a copy of that video? Oh man, this is getting complicated...
I like it but it's missing the most important piece of information: the error occurred in file X, which is associated with devices Y and Z. That way I at least know I should unplug/reinstall the devices/drivers.

This is incorrect...However I would probably not use hg rebase on Mercurial queues, which are meant to be managed by mq extension commands.

You completely contradicted your own claim already.

This is exactly what I'm complaining about: Mercurial Queues are diff and patch. And you need Mercurial Queues for decent Mercurial workflows.

I think most of the git vs. mercurial debates are non-productive because proponents of one tool don't know the other tool well enough to argue against it.

I use Mercurial extensively and on a daily basis, so I think I'm qualified to talk about it. People who claim the complaint is invalid should do Mercurial users a favor and point out a workflow that avoids the issue. I'm still waiting (and manually merging all my patch queues whenever I get a conflict in a topmost patch).
I still don't get it. Why couldn't the same be done to thepiratebay? Because the FBI can't access their internal emails? That's it?

If I recall, the pirate bay "thumb their noses at international laws, all while pocketing significant advertising revenues from trafficking in free, unlicensed copyrighted materials." as well.
thanks for this post, it helps to know from someone who's actually been in the situation. out of interest, are you at all involved in the law profession? how did they handle explaining complicated law language etc. to you as a juror?
An analogy for software development I've heard is to imagine building the Empire State building but with your view limited to a 15" glass portal. You must remember the off screen portions of the "building" in your head.
I just realized I'm mere ten years ahead of you and when I entered elementary school, it seemed like a whole century before the age of internet and browsers. Some friends had C64 for gaming and the bravest daredevil users learned how to write scrollers in 6510 assembly. This makes the baby boomers come from the Middle Ages in computer/internet time.

These politicians used the insult "nerd" because they are trying to paint SOPA protesters in a negative light and to distance themselves from responsibility for the legislation's ill effects. ("How should I have known that would happen after we passed SOPA? I'm not a nerd!")
I'd be willing to bet real money that at least some of Jon Stewart's writers knew what SOPA was before two days ago. It's just a question of when it's prime for a joke.

I don't understand the poster's insistence about wanting to perform an operation similar to git stash in Mercurial "without creating a commit".

Having it as a real commit is an issue when you want to pull upstream for example. My solution would be hg qnew stashname, but I already ranted about the limitations of MQ in another thread here.

Megaupload is Back #antisopa
"They had not one but three Samsung 83" TVs, and two Sharp 108" TVs. Someone owned a "Predator statue." Motor bikes, jet skis, artwork"

The list is awesome. They probably compiled very similar lists in 1917 in Russia about the possessions of capitalist pigs: the lists justified expropriating the listed grossly excessive goods into hands of workers and peasants.

That's what the article implies: they were too thick and therefore got expropriated. Raskulachili!
The idea that you would make intentionally make misleading suggestions certainly would explain a lot. I was actually expecting that to some degree. I think what confounded me so much is just how ridiculous the statements were and how many there were.

At one point I was reduced to essentially defending the very idea of startups and technology innovation. In the stress of the moment I also assumed like the comments were made sincerely (call me naive) so I did my best to pick my jaw up off the floor and explain why they were wrong -- only to be cutoff half way into a sentence. Rinse. Repeat.

When I say I'm "comfortable debating" I don't mean that I need to be comfortable while debating. I grew up with lawyers in my family and in a household where heated debate was part of our every day life. I've worked with some extremely smart and opinionated people. I love a vigorous debate about topics I'm passionate about (like startups). No one who knows me would say I'm a pushover, and most would agree I'm very open to sound logic and evidence.

I think if there's one thing that felt very different in my YC experience it was the intentionally misleading statements. I really am not accustomed to arguing with people who repeatdly make disengenous statements just to judge how I'll react. It's one thing to take an arbitrary position and defend it, it's another to just throw out random misleading statements. To me that would seem to only muddy the waters.

I'm sure I could learn to play that game. Maybe the best founders are great their first run. For all I know I was judged okay on that front. I don't really know.

I do know though that one would learn a lot more about my ability to think by restricitng the conversation to an honest debate of the relevant issues.

Again. I respect all of you guys and know you're good people and ridiculously smart. I'm not making any judgements on that account. One of the reasons I find YC so amazing is that you don't have to be "someone" to get in. It's not an old boy's club. It is disappointing to me to see that tinge of VC arrogance in the interview process, which is why I point it out.

I think the point that the UI of the default tools is better in Mercurial is entirely uncontroversial.

However, equating that to the user experience is short-sighted. The user experience is also how well the tool works and fills the needs of the user. It think it's very controversial to state hg is better there (this is a polite way to say you're completely wrong).
2012: Year of the Designer
South Australia has one of the highest wind penetrations in the world, they recently had a peak of 60% electricity being supplied by the wind.

Though with the higher wind penetration levels wind farm operators in South Australia are facing a problem with the current electricity market design. When the wind blows, there is a surplus of electricity supply. The price for electricity dives, sometimes to -$1000 / MWh. Yes that is correct, the price goes below zero and consumers are paid to use electricity.

And conversely when the wind is not blowing, traditional fossil fuel power stations are able to bid much higher prices without fear of competition.

An interesting challenge for electricity market designers to solve.
I recently found a book from primary school where I was writing about Netscape pretty much as if it was the Internet. I have a folder of screenshots from about 10 years ago where I am using IE 5.5 I think on 800*600 and a terrible looking MSN messenger. How quickly times change in Internet terms.

I'm not suggesting one needs to understand the intricacies. I understand that aircraft are extraordinarily complex, and that's sufficient. I get the impression from non-computer people that software development is the equivalent of typing a Word document, except with mono-spaced fonts and highlighting, and lots of typos leading to bugs.

I think it's just as likely that only founders who fit that behavioral profile tend to do well in YC. Assuming that YC is representive of the world would be a mistake. There are a great many startups created differently outside YC that are very successful.

I also find it hard to imagine a lot of the most successful people I've known fitting this profile. Some maybe, but not most. In fact it's a profile, that as you point out, pg himself certainly does not fit.
I don't get the article: if you want to copy sexps in JSON why don't you just use JSON lists mapping simbols to strings?
e.g.

(p "Paragraph text here, " (b "bold text"))

becomes

['p','paragraph text here, ',['b','bold text']]

where space become commas, and '()' become '[]'.

The json example form html formatting is willingly verbose without reason to be.
Apple pulled it due to it being copyright infringement. The VLC author released their code under the GPL licence, and Apple do not distribute software on the AppStore in a way that meets the GPL, and hence they were in breech of the licence and could not distribute it.
My current favourite is to describe it like this: You have to build a puzzle. Problem is nobody really knows what the puzzle should look like. Instead you get a few hundred pages of documentation written by a bunch of people who don't really know much more about the puzzle than you do describing how they think PARTS of the puzzle should look like in the end - based on discussions they've had with people who have no idea about the big picture either. Oh, you don't actually get any puzzle pieces - that's up to you to create.

As you start trying to build something that looks like the puzzle, you realise that instead of the 1,000 pieces originally estimated for the puzzle, you're going to need 5,000, and the puzzle is actually in 3 dimensions not just 2, and also the puzzle needs to fit with another puzzle built by a different team of people who had no idea your puzzle needs to fit with them. Then you find out your puzzle pieces, that you borrowed from someone else, don't work as expected with put together with certain other pieces... :)

The web content management system software is pretty much like your image editor. If you need to paint a part of the picture red, you just need to select the color and use the paint brush and you’re pretty much done.
VLC, unlike Vim, is GPL software, which Apple ddi not allow on the AppStore/iOS. So can't see the same thing happening here.
I think there is a simple solution for this:

Just remove all the links to the file contained in public (shared) folders.
If the file is in a private folder, maybe it's a private backup, so you should not delete it. You may even display an alert to the user when he logs in, asking to confirm if they hold rights over that file (yes/no). If they click on No, you delete that link too. If they click yes, well... you are not a cop, so you are not obliged to investigate if the user is telling the truth. Anyway, being in a private folder, the copyright owner will never know the file is there. And you can still mark that file (or hash) for never being able to be set as public again in the future.
"TPB stands for civil liberties"

...seriously? Because the Wikileaks files wouldn't have made it out into the world without the pirate bay? Please.

I like how TPB stand against SOPA, it's really true that industries are complaining right now because they're losing control over people they monopolized.
To prevent the next SOPA (or the first one from passing in a modified form) I firmly believe they need a non-partisan group that works directly for them just like the budget office - where they can bounce off the crazy ideas they get from lobbyists before they waste everyone's time and money.

They clearly never call or listen to "expert testimony" so they need it in-house where it's less un-ignorable.
I dunno man. I spend a Sunday a month just cooking a shit-ton of food and freezing it. Fish curry, chicken soup, chili, beef burgers... It is such a damn relief to come home after a long day and just have healthy, tasty food ready to go after 5 minutes of zapping it.

And let's not forget the damage ICE does not only by taking down legit websites, but by refusing to act within their own procedures by not giving the seized domains in a timely manner.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/12/ice-admits-m...

No, it won't break the Internet, but it could break a legitimate business because of the media industry's eagerness to give away material to create buzz, then attempt to sure and financially ruin people claiming they were robbed of income. (And this isn't just some hiphop thing. Even Google/YouTube say copyright owners upload their own material under unassuming names, demand Google take it down, then get angry when it's removed.)

I think there's a huge market of non-US startups that would love to find a Stripe equivalent that they could use. Much easier to compete than going head-to-head with the US crowd, whose customers are spoiled for choice.

That's what Shuttleworth in effect did - fulfilled a demand outside the US for a service that US companies couldn't legally fulfil. Got him into space. Not bad.
I really didn't know that ARS partook in smear campaigns like this. This is so utterly one sided that it's disappointing. Simple fact of the matter is, copyright holders could use an abuse tool to remove content and had said content removed.

I mean, they arrested the graphic designer!...
The same as in LISP. Code being data and data being code, an 'if' is a function that merely returns/evaluates either second or third argument based on first argument evaluation.

For last couple of centuries or so, each generation grows
up with unprecedented change in their lifetime.

I'd argue that this generation's changes aren't just unprecedented, but in an entirely different category. Not just in size, but in speed and extent. The cell phone alone is the most fundamental change in society in human history; suddenly, every person on earth can communicate instantly with almost any other person, and can broadcast an image to almost the entire planet in a matter of hours. And we couldn't do that twenty years ago. We couldn't even do that five years ago.
