My mom (55y.o.) just called me and asked what is that ACTA thing. My Facebook feed is filled with ACTA posts & discussions... amazing.
The exclusivity clause is being misinterpreted. They aren't demanding exclusivity for the content of the book, only for the Author-provided layout.

With my reading of this, you are free to sell your book in as many places as you like, as long as you don't use Author to publish for those other platforms. Since Author is being distributed for the express purpose of publishing to iBooks, I can't see why this would be a problem.
So true. I particularly like how arrington is called out and put in place. I'm starting to hate TC's stance on certain areas of the industry.
This is such an odd argument. The individual in that salary negotiation represents Google The Company and for all intents and purposes, is Google The Company in that negotiation.

Similarly, it is the senior management of Google The Company that sets up and approves the "wrong incentive structure" for their recruiters.

If you are naive and you accept a crappy offer from someone, it's not disingenuous for you years later to point out that it was a crappy offer and you were naive, as a lesson to others. The author flat-out states that she did not know much about negotiating at the time.
> You'll know when to stop.

Unless you really don't know what you're doing and run without schedule and training plan. Have observed it several times among female teenagers exposed to too much social media.
Amazing how often this one-time across-the-board salary raise is being trotted out in defense of other cuts elsewhere. What a great PR move that was.

Besides, I would imagine that in a company doing as well as Google, annual raises of this amount were usual for the performers anyway.
They aren't saying you can't sell your book anywhere else; you just can't, for example, take the Author export file and go sell that on the Kindle store - you'd have to lay it out again.
No trust me. I had a family member in factory job. They did not like it at all. He gained arthritis from working there, then despite the fact he had been working there most of life without any complaint about his performance tried to performance manage him out a few years before he was due to retire. He earned less then my first grad job.
The Power of Young People
I'm presuming that you've not heard much about the earliest radios. They had two or three batteries in them ("A", "B", and at the beginning, "C" cells.) Don't mix up the batteries when you wire them in and make sure you have the right polarity as otherwise you might fry the tubes. Batteries could easily leak, so check them out for problems. If you're on a farm, you might want one powered from your car battery, which meant you could take it back to the car or a generator in order to recharge it. Then there's antenna setup. And tube replacement (since tubes go bad). Also, the early radios (excepting crystal sets) usually had three or more dials. For example, when you change the frequency you need to change the impedance of your antenna to match it. (Raise the lid or read the owner's manual to find the chart of how those correlate.)

Radios got simpler to use, in part because of the strong demand to make them simpler. They got simpler to use sometimes at the expense of more internal complexity (a starter motor for an automobile, instead of a crank) but sometimes because we just figured out an easier way to do things (Wozniak's Disk II controller is a classic hacker example) .

On the other hand, you are omitting all of the difficult, complex things we used to do, which we don't do now. Do you sew all your clothes, bedsheets, and curtains? I sure don't. Sewing isn't easy. That's a "whole old level of effort" I don't need to know. Do you regularly can or preserve your own foods? A few do, but it's easier and cheaper to buy things from the store. Until the last 1800s, many engineers and scientists learned draftsmanship (as different than art, mind you) because that was the best way to make a visual record of what you saw. Of course, the camera has nearly completely replaced that requirement, which we use to learn different things. Evolution, thermodynamics, Maxwell's equations, and more have simplified what was previously a bunch of unconnected concepts.

Our culture rides the wave of "just complex enough." If it's too complex, like early microcomputers, only a few people make the effort to learn it. It it's useful enough, then there's a lot of work put into making it simpler. When it gets simple enough, there's widespread use. So widespread use happens when something is just barely simple enough for most people to understand.

The idea you are talking about is at least 45 years old. Alvin Toffler wrote "Future Shock" in 1970 about this very topic. It popularized the phrase "information overload", which was coined in 1964. Note how someone who was 20 then would be an "elder" now.

Again I ask you, how do you judge that the rate of growth is more now than it was in the 1920s, or the 1970s? What meaningful metrics do you use, and how do you correct for you own biases of what is important? As far as I can tell, excepting the Great Depression, the amount of change and the turmoil over the amount of change has been constant for over a century.

I wish the company I work would offer me free meals. Not only free meals but an infrastructure and environment where I could spend more time in my intellectual growth and personal achieviements. Of course all this requires an huge investment not only in buildings but in human resources (someone has to do the dirty work).

If some company offered me free food, nice, clean and complete bathrooms, restrooms, libraries, lockers, an office arranged in manner where I could work without any disturb in trade of less but still acceptable salary I would accept it.

If they cut me on sallary I would not mind but if they took me the free food completely I would be pissed off.
Analysis of ACTA
A young (~16yo) male relative of mine just spent half a day in my home - in front of his smartphone, to be precise. All the time he'd hit the refresh button and scroll through the same FB news feed again for the 100th time.

There is a potentially dangerous feedback effect in social sites imho. Experts will probably better articulate what the trigger is.
How exactly did you go from expiring copyright to open sourcing?

Expiring copyright is just that: you can copy the distributed result (binaries) as you want. It does not entail open sourcing any more than it would force the studios to release their raw footage and CGI files.

Oh another thing: very important:: a short term of copyright like a few years would be the biggest boon to Hollywood ever as they could simply sit and wait for works to drop into the public domain before turning around and producing them without paying the creators a penny. There would be tons of creators strung along via a studio option - just long enough till the work dropped into the public domain. It would harder than ever for individuals to profit from their creative work and easier than ever for Hollywood to make money off of it.

What creators, exactly, are you talking about? If you mean screenwriters, they could simply sign a simple contract ("You shall not produce a movie based on the work without authorization") before showing it to the studios. Why would they need copyright?

> I wonder however how they would confiscate my laptop running only free software.

No one knows a priori what software you have on your laptop. They either have to take your word for it or analyse the contents of the disk -- and that's a reason to withhold your equipment.

I'm sure it would be returned. Eventually.
I think it would be good if only registered voters can give campaign money to candidates. If they want to call it donations, then so be it. BUT only registered voters can give donations as well.
I wouldn't say I ignored it, just thinking of it a bit differently.

This iPad thing is where technology is going. It's good, no doubt. But as far as disrupting the textbook industry, we seem to be skipping a few steps. Cheap textbooks have to appear before cheap textbooks on electronic devices, and we don't really have that yet.
Sigh. You find Grammar Nazis everywhere nowadays. And yes you are right. My mistake.

Well, this is a computer age and computer crime is rampant. It's just sad that they are using tool which they did not develop to do the crime. I have read that opinions of the people are divided in this issue.
ITT an ex-google employee complains about google cutting some on-campus cafe hours and morning bagels/donuts being more difficult to find. Complains that during the job offer they mentioned food as a perk. Yawn.
You might also look at it another way, and Google probably will, too.

If you're being considered by Google and you don't negotiate, perhaps they are the ones making the mistake.
So do lots of services though. Hell, MegaUpload did. If you reported an infringing file to MegaUpload, they would remove it - and the same goes for many other websites. But that just doesn't cut it any longer, you often need to be more proactive to survive.

Personally I think the reason pastebin.com has survived is that it's not hosting videos or music. As soon as people start base64 encoded video en masse then things might change :-)
After this, I think btjunkie would be next. btjunkie.org is the closest one to pirate bay in terms of the number of movies and songs in their data base
Not sure how thorough their searches are, but could you leave a fairly boring drive in your laptop, and carry the real one externally, perhaps partly disguised (phone maybe)? "Oh, this old thing? Stopped working the other week. Seeing if my friend can fix it for me - I think the battery has failed."
Megaupload Takedown: The Real Meaning
Very cool. :)
I don't see this happening for a number of reasons already mentioned, but one that nobody is talking about is that Microsoft has long lost its cachet as the place for new college grads.

I graduated from CMU 10 years ago and almost 20% of the graduating CS majors went to Microsoft. People were excited to go work on things like the .NET CLR, Avalon/WPF, and big bets on web services in unexplored spaces.

I'm no longer at Microsoft and I'm interviewing a ton of people from top schools for internships and full-time positions. I ask every one of them where else they are looking and the list is always Google, Facebook, Amazon, and occassionally Apple. Anyone who wants to work on an underdog project is thinking about joining a startup, where they see they see the opportunity to innovate/disrupt without beurocracy and the potential to actually reap the financial benefits of success.

Without the talent, I don't see Microsoft owning the next decade.

If detained at the border, and all your storage is encrypted, many countries have laws that require you to reveal your passphrase.

OK.

But, what about key escrow? What if I gave the keys to my attorney? Can I be compelled to lie to my attorney about whether I'm under arrest?

Or Jacob Appelbaum, who carries USB drives with the Bill of Rights encoded on them. If the remaining blocks were noise, would he have to somehow prove they weren't encrypted data?

This all seems very unsustainable.
With sites like piratebay,org and btjunkie.org, in some sense, "show business" as an industry is affected. The number of people hitting the cinema would be less since most movie goers would just wait for the "copy" to be available for download. But the workers behind show business aren't really being let out by their employers, so I don't think it's such a huge problem.
Common sense should tell you you can't get a Gucci bag for 200$, or anywhere outside of a luxury shop

Where would a person learn this? I've heard the brand name Gucci before, but I had no idea it was so expensive. Naturally, I'm not the sort of person who would buy such things because of the name of the company who made them, but it also wouldn't seem strange to me to see a given brand on sale outside of a luxury store.

I guess we each have our own set of assumptions about what the "average person" should consider common knowledge.

Well don't forget to add some serious revolving doors, as a motivation for the lawmakers (http://www.opensecrets.org/revolving/), because, you know, they already got that.
Secondly, but even more importantly, don't forget to set aside a large chunk of the cash to hire an army of assassins and mercenaries, because, you know, anybody of any importance is already under a death threat if they step out their line, and you are fool if you think otherwise.
I seriously, seriously, seriously suggest reading through all the 5 pages of this, no matter how "stock conspiracy theory" it may look to you, just effin do it (allocate half a day, it's a long read), and bitch later, because you really need to know: http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/1023-financia...

Isn't this overkill?

How many border protection agents look into your /etc/fstab and know fdisk, mount and cryptsetup?

How is this supposed to be implemented?
> The reason I ask is because most of the people who have been getting arrested seem to be people of Iranian descent who chose to move to another country.

Or are those just the ones you hear about? The article suggests there have been 53 executions this year in Iran. That's 2.5 executions per day.
My understanding is that Google is pretty open about that. I think I've seen Marissa Mayer explain it that way in a video about Google before.
yeah technologically the stack gets a lot more complicated. but for users and companies managing/selling it, it's a lot simpler. you don't have to update the software, it's in the cloud, so there's no security holes that go unpatched. your docs are backed up so hard drive or power failure isn't a problem. you don't have to move files. it's insanely easy to share docs.

besides, there are a lot more boxes sitting on top of each other in this stack but it's not any more difficult for a developer. in fact, it might be simpler. the extra layers offer some abstractions. instead of having to know native windowing on 3 different systems, your just write a compliant webapp in a nice, high-level language with all sorts of toolkits that do 90% of the crap anyway.
In other words. This means cloud storage services will be one of the businesses who will se a huge increase in sales next coming years.

This is a good point. Personally, we often hire accountants to minimize our tax burden, yet when companies do the same thing, we like to label them as "evil" (at worst) or "shirking their duty" (at best).

Sports like rugby, NFL or basketball are very different to golf. The others involve aerobic/anaerobic fitness and strength components along with their skills. While golf involves a very precise, repeated movement (with some speed/strength component) but almost no opportunity for the speedier removal of lactic acid to help you.

The garment just probably interfered with the swinging of your arms, even if only slightly.
January 22, 22 years ago, first known "computer hacking" trial...
This day, January 22, 22 years ago Robert Tappan Morris had become the very first person convicted for "computer hacking". He created the first computer "worm", that infected 6000 UNIX servers all over the Internet

Guess what. He was PG's co-founder.

We need to call them out on how Orwellian this bill is and how they are hiding behind child abuse to monitor the whole Internet and everyone, before they get a chance to ask "why are we against protecting children online?".

Let's frame the issue before they do. Also bring up the point that Rep. Lofgren tried to add an amendment called "Keep Every American's Digital Data for Submission to the Federal Government Without a Warrant Act.". Of course they rejected it.

The same way that the socks and stockings people wear on flights to prevent DVT do (though I don't know what that is).

Clearing some misconceptions about Arfa Karim
White House Petitioned to Investigate MPAA Bribery
An odd thing about these searches is that they really have no chance of catching anything nefarious carried by anyone halfway intelligent. An acquaintance of mine smuggled digital documentary video out of Iran just by opening up a laptop and loosening one of the two hard drives' connectors so it no longer registered as attached; the brief border search at the airport of course saw one hard drive with nothing particularly nefarious on it, and didn't go to the trouble of determining that this model of laptop should've had two drives. That's not foolproof, but it's going to foil 99%+ of these kinds of casual searches.

Of course if someone really suspects you personally and wants to scrutinize your machine in detail, that's another story, but just random dragnet-type searches of machines at borders are laughably easy to foil, with dozens of different methods, so the stopping-terrorism justification doesn't seem plausible.
This particular wikipedia article focuses more on the development of ACTA, and public comment and rumour during its development, than it does on the actual text of ACTA, a public document.

I haven't read the actual text, and I imagine that the issue of whether or not ACTA will force border searches is definitively answered by the treaty itself. The Wikipedia passage in question appears to have been written in response to rumours and leaks dating back to 2009.

I agree- I had no idea. $200 sounds expensive to me, so if someone offered one for that and I wanted to buy it for my wife I probably would. I've bought "Coach" brand for about that at the mall, so an approximately equivalent price wouldn't set off any alarms in my head.
Never store anything important on a laptop hard drive, ever. Erase all hard discs with dban before going through customs. Upload to a safe place before you leave, download when you get back.
I'm surprised The Mythical Man-Month didn't make the 30 (only the afterthought section). Given the harm that clumsy estimation, and naieve subdivision of labour from disinterested managers causes to the software industry it should be required reading.
Moderately interesting article, but what evidence is there that sites have begun self-censoring? There's no reference to the title in the article.
This just isn't true. In today's game it's very common for a player with the ball, in the area, to go down after the slightest contact from an opposing player, rather than stay on their feet and shoot.

Any person smart enough to clear all of the brain teasers in order to get to that point should be far well able to do the final one that starts "an engineer is given free food at work in lieu of $X salary, calculate the value of X at which this is a fair deal..."

My point was that X=$20k doesn't even come close to passing the sniff test. Its absurd.

Pssst, bribing members of congress (using PACs and campaign donations) is legal in the US.
What you've said is completely annecdotal and completely wrong. As evidenced by the article from Forbes and the original article at Arstechnica, the number of movies being made and the number of people paying to see movies is higher than it was 10 years ago before file copying really got stated.
I'd like to be able to hide techpolitics. I don't care about piracy. I don't care about the latest torrentfreak.com gossip piece. I cared about SOPA, but not the gossip.
I'd suggest the books _Getting to Yes_, and Graeber's _Debt: the First 5000 Years_.

Of course the second book sounds odd, but if you're renting chunks of your life, it's vital to know about the real nature of markets, not the Disneyfied version. Many people I've spoken with are uncomfortable with the antagonistic nature of negotiation, and fail to hit the upper limit of what the employer's willing to spend. Instead of wilting, there should be a feeling of indignance.
