I am personally optimistic about the future, with small changes brought about by pressure, these jobs can be better than they are without destroying prices or margins.

I think the real use would be letting people add files to your dropbox without having to share a whole folder...e.x. clients giving you files without cluttering your inbox.
Can you explain why that would be silly - sillier than, for example, the open borders between states in the US?

Because the US is a single country. The states are just different jurisdictions, but major economic, political, foreign affair, budget, etc decisions are taken at the US level.

One reason you can not even think of the problems that open borders can bring, is because the US is basically isolated geographically, besides Canada and Mexico. Now, Canada is no threat to anyone, and Mexico you already had a war with and stole some of their land IIRC. If you were next to 2-6 other countries, with loaded historical issues between you, as most countries are with the exception of places like Australia etc, the case would be very different.

I'm glad you have such concern for the poorer citizens of the US. Throw in a little sympathy for the poorer citizens of Mexico and I'll be really impressed.

Oh, I have a lot. The thinking that migration, illegal or not, is the answer to their problems is idiotic. For the vast majority, it's not like the Nebraska waitress going to LA to become a movie star, or the Mexican geek going to the Valley to be an entrepreneur. Most people don't migrate because of a dream, but because of necessity. This, btw, is the reason poor Mexicans migrate to the US, and not Americans to Mexico. They migrate with deep sadness in order to find a better life. This life should be provided for them AT THEIR HOME, not by having them go somewhere where they have no family, no friends, and no support infrastructure (no society of their own), and no cultural roots, in order to provide cheap labor. My people have been forced to migrate en masse, as of lately, to other countries because of financial hardships. It's no fun. And we'd rather not do it.

You care for the mexican workers? Support Mexico, don't have your corporations piss on them, don't support local governments that fc them over for your profits, be they corporate or of foreign influence, and then we can see about immigration.

There is 1992's distributed photo sharing app, built in ~5 minutes without any c++ and you had the whole rest of the weekend to get into flame wars about how ugly someone's cat was.

Sure you can get a lot more done now with advanced tools and infrastructure, but really expectations and requirements have grown much faster. You could definitely launch a median web or win32 app in '94 faster than you can now.

>Find people around you app.

This might be true in NAm. In other parts of the earth, it might be different. There are different cultural barriers and different things which are considered "normal" for meeting new people. I'm sure "dating" sites are working on ways to integrate this feature into their offering. Or, let's say, find 5 other people around me who want to play some 3 on 3 basketball, or a squash partner, whatever.

>Coupon / Daily deals

Again, true in the US market. Other markets might be ripe for a newcomer. For example, a team in SAfrica could develop something to fit the local market.

>Online Dating Sites.

Sites, yes. But there's still room for innovation. It's far from perfect.

>Book Exchanges for colleges

True. Will there be any physical books in the long run anyway?

>Apps that create Apps

Ok.
This interview repeats the common line of thought that Apple having credit cards stored and a frictionless buying experience as key to the success of the App Store, but I don't see why that is a commonly held belief. Doesn't hurt, of course, but simple ease of payment doesn't really strike me as the main hurdle in selling software (more than willing to be proved wrong here). It seems more likely to me that the iPhone was a device that begged for software. Hand anyone an iPhone with just the built in apps and I assure you they will soon be inquiring about what else can they do with it.

A great demand seems to be the real key to the App Store success. After all, how many credit cards that were entered in 2008 are still active today?
Ignore freedom 2 for a minute, and consider freedom 3: Free Software (and Open Source Software) requires the ability to distribute modified versions. That freedom can't meaningfully exist without also allowing the ability to distribute unmodified versions (since you could just make a trivial modification and redistribute). So, freedom 3 necessarily implies freedom 2, and you can't have FOSS without freedom 3.

Take a look at this entry in the GPL FAQ: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ReleaseNotOriginal

What you've suggested amounts to the "shared source" model of "look but don't touch".

You also entirely ignored my point that the GPL still makes it possible for companies like id to easily profit from sales of their engines, without having to add further restrictions.

Also, the JRE became Free Software under the GPL several years ago. :)
This is so true. I was really surprised not to find more posts like these, because working on your own car is very fun, gets you away from the computer for a bit, and definitely embodies the DIY mentality most of us on this site have.

That said, if you're in the market and inexperienced [or maybe even experienced], take a prospective car to a professional mechanic. Don't buy a junk car and expect to be able to fix everything yourself, unless you want a fun side project which will require a ton of man-hours [and more money than you'd expect] to complete. But on the overall, doing your own maintenance and fixing smaller problems you encounter [timing belt issues? no biggie!] is very very enjoyable.

This could definitely stand to be better. I only learned about LuaRocks by googling around when make failed to build LuaSocket and the README was useless. By then I had been using Lua for about 3 years.

I'm from India (currently in NYC though) and if you ask me - the USD 15 (say) buys the same bread in India as USD 100 (say). Hence the USD 100 in the US and USD 15 in India.

Cost of education is less in India (and so is the quality if you ask me, but that's not the point and I'm not inclined to discuss this in detail right now). Good developers in India do exist and tend to have learned things from costlier sources BUT have not paid the cost to use them (read piracy).

So in summary, in India the over cost of things was low to begin with and less money (in USD terms) can buy more. So it's a combination of PPP conversion of money and lower cost (even if purchasing power is taken into consideration) of attaining similar skills. What also drives down rates in India is more competition (high population density) - esp. from the spagetti-coder market that operates alongside the quality coder market.

As long as you are not running code that is downloaded after app install (e.g. either embedded in the app itself or entered by the user from the keyboard) you are good to go. This mod to the previously ominous app store policies is used by quite a lot of applications.
Thanks for the info. Very informative reply. Sounds like the network handling stuff should be in the C layer. And pass the parsed message/objects back to Lua is the way to go.
It's actually our second attempt at making it easy to understand WTH we're building. I guess we need to take it back to the drawing board. Out of curiosity, did you ever (even think to) click on the "Get Started" links? Our goal was that end users would click that and then click the giant red button we put on that page. Not sure it's working though :).

Basically, imagine if you could use something as awesome as Flickr but have the photos stored in your personal Dropbox account or S3 bucket.
> How do we know they haven't already "done something"? How many "somethings" should Apple do?

IMHO, they should require their suppliers to have a worker safety program, same as factories do in America. It's relatively easy to check whether or not a factory has on-site nurses and whether or not the employees know what to do when someone gets injured when you want to audit this.
Long-time Yahoo mail user here (it's actually hard for me to admit this; I've noticed in software/tech circles that Yahoo increasingly has a stigma attached to it, not unlike AOL in '90s.)

Anyway, one big difference I notice with Gmail and Yahoo mail is Google actively develops and improves the parts of the service that is visible to users. Every few months there is a significant update (recent ones that come to mind: G+ integration, new inbox design, some new templates, etc.).

Yahoo mail not only fails to add/integrate new services, it doesn't even bother with basic tweaks that it can see over on the competition (Gmail). For instance, Gmail has this very prominent and useful feature: "Always show images from xyz@blah.com". Yahoo mail? It's still on a message-by-message basis. It's irritating, but also kind of sad -- Yahoo has a popular service that's still used by millions of people, but doesn't seem to care. The same can be said about Flickr, too.

On an unrelated not, this is a classic example of complaining about why a product doesn't work and having users jump at the chance to fix your issue to prove it's worth.

It would be interesting to monitor. Lua is a good fit for async programs with its coroutine support.
You can solve this problem by either chipping away at it by targeting one company and pushing forward a bit or by getting the China and U.S. governments to handle it for all. Both approaches are reasonable. You have to start somewhere.

Ask HN: What are the differences between the major free software licenses?
This has been a recurring question. Where can I learn about the differences between commonly used licenses (MIT license, BSD, GNU GPL, and so on) in a clear way?

I've taken a look at the actual statements, and they were not as daunting as I had supposed. However, it is still a little difficult and time-consuming to process the unfamiliar clauses, translating them into normal English and simplifying them into basic points. Do you know of a website or guide that has done this already?

Update: I have found the following chart, but it only gives two items: "Link with code using a different license", and "Release changes under a different license".

Detasseling involves pulling the tassels out of corn by hand. It's not mechanized at all, or at least it wasn't back when I was growing up.

You get up early in the morning and trudge through hot, muddy fields all day. You get paid according to how much your crew is able to detassel.
I think ultimately the solution is for the Humble people to talk to Google - and to Apple, for that matter - and say "we do this thing, it makes a lot of money, how can we do it through your servers?". If they can get the owners of the official marketplaces interested then something will happen.
Maybe. It's not obvious enough though, I think.

Who is the "average user"?
That's a completely different (and more valid) argument than "pirating lets you listen on demand but radio doesn't."
I'm not being facetious; it's a widely held belief and I haven't been able to find someone who can coherently explain the assumptions and logic behind this thinking.

Here are some reasons against illegal immigration (in general, not only about wages):

1) It's not about the "crime of not being American". It's the issue of not being a citizen of the country, and having no right to be there in the first place.

2) Immigration is not a proper answer to the problems of poor countries, making them better is (and first world countries have a lot to do and a lot to stop doing for this to happen). Immigration is basically being forced to leave your home to find food/freedom/etc. Americans might like to compare it with the ease they leave, say, Texas for New York or California, but it's nothing like it.

3) The encouragement of mass immigration benefits those hiring against the workers of their place. It creates a surplus of labor that lowers wages. You might not care, because you have a fancy CS degree, or you might say "let them improve their skills and market themselves better", but the actual reality if poorer people, lower wages, trailer parks, and unemployment. Yeah, it can be "good for (big) business". But unless if you believe the "trickle down effect", it can destroy whole local communities. I've been all around South Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, places with lots of immigrants. I didn't see much "trickle down" effect there.

4) A country exists because it has citizens. Anybody being able to drop in arbitrarily, is not a country, it's a hostel, and can bring huge problems of regarding integration, common values, etc. Now, most "progressive" Americans have issues with the very notion of "common values", but they have the luxury to have it because, basically, all the US shares lots of common values anyway, from the strong belief in the individual, to the respect for the various amendments to the constitution, to the "American Dream", to politically correctness, etc. A gay Democrat nerd in SF has more in common to an Oklahoman redneck than they know (and that they have with a Norwegian or an Iraqi or a Venezuelan). Not to mention a shared history, from the civil war to Pearl Harbor to the glorification of the "wild west", etc.

Now, imagine the made up example of millions of islamists coming to the US, and after a few decades, claiming respect for the sariah, beating up women dressed "inappropriately" (in their mind) in the streets, having honor killings, etc. You have the luxury not to think of it, because you are 10,000 miles of ocean away from such countries. Similar things have happened in other countries though. Borders were set up among other things because people like to live differently than other folks and have a place to tout their common beliefs and way of life. Like the, so-called, "American way of life".

The difference between having to enter my CC every couple of years vs. every couple of days is huge. I'm guilty of a lot of quick, mindless expenses in the iTunes Store that I probably wouldn't have incurred in if I had to enter the CC every time.

It's all about reducing the friction to buy stuff, when the only thing you have to do is click a button you're most likely to consume (at least on my personal experience).
Annoying design requests follow: On coderdojo, increase the contrast between your flyout menus and the rest of your page. Make those big button looking links clickable or else lose the borders (I want to click the "button" but can't, whereas I know exactly what to target for regularly styled links.)

That aside, the effort is cool.

What do you think killed it? How do people find good music without having to filter through all the rubbish? Does the industry rely on advertising to sell bad music? Are "Top 40" artists built by record companies and sold on TV and/or the internet? Does good music travel through word of mouth by people in-the-know? iTunes is pretty and all but I can't picture people paying to download without having heard the music somewhere else before.

Lots of generalising to do here to answer these questions I guess but I figure there's opportunity out there for someone who can make something of the answers.
