The link insertion reminds me of an ISP in another country that was rewriting HTML before sending it. If we want to get very technical, if this happened in the US, couldn't an ISP be dinged for creating a "derived work" of a copyrighted page without permission?
I engage in a similar practice. I do mild exercise and whenever I find that I need to lose a few pounds I just start skipping a meal. Works wonders.

I find it odd that the thought of running a caloric deficit in order to lose weight is "off the table" for so many people.

Whomever said it, said it for their time. Topics of scale can't be glossed over with a one-size-fits-all approach. If you ran a corporation that catered to thousands of people you'd be X size, and at millions of people the workforce, distribution model and methodology would all have to change. Not sure how the government is expected to function when we concentrate on the wrong things.

Seldom I have seen such a quasi-religious, non-critical hailing of an international cooperation.

Working-conditions in china? Who cares? Steve jobs takes over and kills the till then legitimately produced Mac-Clones, because they were technically superior (killing companies is not so good for US-jobs)? Who cares? Ripping of ideas from developers of Apps? Who cares? Well maybe fellow-developers should care.

It seems, that as long, as apple is able to whitewash itself in front of its fanboys the will sing in tune as one big choir and hail their spiritual leader Steve, come what may.

Beware unrealistic hypotheticals. (Say, what's the cost to build such a safe?)

Short of dismissing the question out of hand, the point remains that it is still a mere matter of money - something which can be soaked out of taxpayers as needed. Even if we're talking a small jurisdiction with grossly insufficient funds, I'll meet your hypothetical with one where the US Military is invited to have a whack at it - and they can whack pretty hard. It's just a matter of money, and for all practical purposes through history that's been enough to crack any safe. ...and with that kind of money in that safe, I'm sure you could resolve the problem. Short of a scenario where forcing the safe would provably destroy evidence, or delays cause grave bodily harm, they can put the safe in the evidence warehouse and indefinitely assign someone to resolve the issue, while you cool your heels in Graybar Hotel until they open it or you save taxpayers the cost of doing so.

This in contrast to encryption, where any idiot can pick a good algorithm with a high-bitcount high-entropy key which could not be cracked using the resources of the universe. This isn't a hypothetical, this is the OP case. Here, the prosecution truly does hinge on the defendant incriminating himself: no cooperation = no conviction.

If you can prove a safe, like encryption, can't be cracked short of universe-scale efforts, I'll change my position.

I'd imagine that most users only send SMS messages from their phones, not third party services.

If the default was that users couldn't send from other services/devices, then that majority of users wouldn't be vulnerable to the spoofing, and those who opt-in to allow third-party sending would at least be aware somewhat of the implications.

Unless I misunderstand the underlying technology?

Cassandra How-to: Recovering big data from a big (or small) disaster
I feel you confuse cost of a thing/service with worth of a thing/service.

For example, your employers knows it costs them much less than your salary for you to survive. You can live on basic food, clothing, and other very low cost means to survive. But don't we personally strive to look for maximize the salary?

I know you will argue that companies shouldn't be treated as human beings. But why do we need to treat a collective of human brings different from individuals?
There's another way to "raise" the average and it's already beginning to happen. It is the organization of workers into unions and other democratic labor organizations. It parallels the movements that occurred in the United States in the early part of the 20th century. Except it's happening in China (and other "globalized" competitors).

Chinese workers will not put up with unsafe, low-pay factory conditions forever, despite what everyone seems to think. Most of China's population doesn't have access to reasonable healthcare, for example, and many of these factory workers live in slum-like dormitories located on the factory campus. This is to say nothing of the literal death-traps that exist in day-to-day working conditions.

The Arab-spring is evidence that, even in the 21st century, or perhaps more-so in the 21st century, collective action can provoke change. It's odd why so many see the process of globalization as a race to the bottom. In the short-term, yes, but in the long-term, no way.

Transportation, energy and other transaction costs could make it costlier to produce in China what can be produced in the United States when labor costs approach parity. At worst, the workers in China and the "average" workers in the west will meet somewhere in the middle.

batista already covered most of what I wanted to say but I'll repeat some of it anyway for emphasis...

1. I take it you're assuming people love to talk over typing on a keyboard, given there was no evidence provided that suggests otherwise. I disagree.

2. Not every computer is equipped with a mic and even if they're cheap, its still a barrier.

3. This is personal opinion but I absolute hate leaving voice messages and getting voice responses compared to reading and writing. It is much FASTER with text than speech.
I picked up a couple of generic ones, I think they are made by Lamplight Farms. They include a bracket that hangs on the wall with a reflector plate. Other than the wall mount, most of the oil lamps are about the same (that is, the ones in the $5 - $20 range). Of course, I picked up these ones about 10 years ago, and I can't find this particular model any more. I can only find the table top ones (could probably put it on a shelf, with a mirror behind it for better effect).

You can use either lamp oil or kerosene in most of them, the lamp oil doesn't stink as bad (and if you get the "ultra pure" oil, there is hardly any smell at all). Also, last time I had a power outage I was able to keep the flame lit (on a pilot light height) through the night with hardly any oil used (and it made a nice night light -- don't know how safe it is though).
Whilst I would certainly agree it would be nice for the chip to be open-sourced, saying that it means the Pi is 'already dead' is ridiculous hyperbole.

The Raspberry Pi is designed for computer science education, but it's designed primarily for Children, not University Students. If you're at the point of running 'Advanced Operating Systems' courses then you can find whatever you need, but 12 year olds aren't likely to be doing that.

What they folks at Rasberry Pi are trying to do is encourage people who've never coded before to start writing programs. If they can write simple userspace linux programs (I'm talking text adventures and the like) that's what's important. The device isn't intended to replace ultra-hackable low level devices, it's just a cheap PC that children can tinker with without their parents yelling at them if they break the family PC.

The Rasberry Pi is anything but dead.

Nice work Satish; I could pick up Rails and coding simply because of your support. Thanks and keep it up. - Arvind
Greatest timing ever! Just started learning ruby and rails. If some noob here is also interested, other resources (other than classical google,stackoverflow, youtube) I've found very helpful are lynda.com and peepcode videos. Thank you for this.
It's not ridiculous but I think it wasn't very well presented. The argument isn't that everyone should have a PhD. That wasn't even mentioned. Access to higher education was mentioned but that means college in this context (most likely even an associates degree).

The argument being made in the article isn't about making everyone above average it's about shifting what average is. Times have changed but sadly education and job training for most people has not. The person who used to stand on an assembly line and pop rivets all day is no longer a middle class wage earner. Why? Because popping rivets "at scale" isn't a problem anyone even thinks about anymore. But for people who don't have any other marketable skills or education past high school this is a big problem.

All countries that have been around for a long enough period of time go through this, the US is young enough that we're entering the phase now and we do have opportunity to try to make things as good as we can for as many people as we can. This is not to say that we'll ever stop unemployment because we won't. Our focus needs to be on education and job training in a big way. If the digital/IT age is driving the global economy and a factory can comfortably employs thousands of people the US should be building those kinds of factories. Eventually the places the US outsources to will become too expensive and jobs (some of them) will move back to the US. This is already happening. The middle classes that have been and are being built overseas will by definition grow past the point where paying them to install glass screens in cases will be good enough for them.

I'm not sure I agree with this.

Tiered support is a fact of enterprise support.

The challenge is to provide a lower tier of support (email, business day, 24hr turnaround), vs SLAd instant response (within 1hr).

In this case, DynDNS talks about providing email & phone support too, but only during business hours for their cheapest plans.

But phrasing it as

We attempt to respond to all emails within 24 hours of receiving them.

sure sounds condescending to a paying customer.

That's one reason I like using something like Openlayers for all my web mapping needs. This way I can use Google Maps for as long as it's practical, but if something changes I can change map provider to, for example, Bing or something OSM based by changing only a couple of lines of code.
People don't get straight to the point when talking. At least with typing it's a structured way to list important details.

Customer service agents will have to listen to the call, make notes, then message the customer back. It's far more effective to have a written message in front of you when addressing someones concerns.

Also, it would be hard to manage, store and search through audio messages. It would make looking after the admin side of it very tedious.

While this idea seems to give a more personal touch to website customer service I think it would be very time consuming to provide a high level of customer support.

It's not a system that would scale to businesses receiving a high volume of technical enquiries.

I'd rather send/receive written messages if it means my question gets answered faster.
The problem is there seems to be an enormous deficiency in the whole legal conception.

The judgement goes on and on about originality and similarity and labour and skill. Certainly, that demanded a careful and fine examination. But really, this is all nigh on irrelevant. The only thing that really counts is the commercial impact. This is because the sole substantive purpose of copyright is to create market conditions to support production. Yet the commercial question seems, on a quick reading, entirely absent.

Of course, the lawyers can only work with the law as it is; the problem is deeper. The law seems like it is trying to do the wrong thing. Restricting copying when it has no effect on original production is utterly counterproductive. If someone copies, in a case like this, we can presume it was because the material copied was good. And if they use it to sell a product, we can presume -- since they are actually making sales -- they are providing some useful service. Again, that is good. And if the copying has no detrimental effect on the original's commercial use, then we cannot have even a contrived sense of harm being done. So then one ought to ask: what on earth is the law doing preventing good and stopping no harm?
There's a difference between "a few hours with a blowtorch" vs. "heat death of the universe" scales of effort.

I think we're overlooking the fact that programming is hard per se. A program runs on a computer which is nothing more than a calculator with storage and peripherals. In the end everything is just numbercrunching. The whole point of a programming language is to overcome the "old days" where you had to use a computer for what it IS, namely a calculator. We did quite well regarding hiding stuff but as a consequence we lost control over parts of the machine. Setting a pin on your LPT-Port on high in Python? Just no. Doing the same thing in this guys "language"? I don't know if that will be included or even possible (if it is please tell me).

But in the end you're still writing code for a calculating machine. Things will never be as easy as "Sort this array by comparing each element for size" because the underlying hardware still is the same. Unless you figure out how to make that easier, for example by intorducing a "qsort [array]" assembler instruction within a processor, that has hardwired Quicksort logic, you're going to stay where you are: In the low-level lands of C and FORTRAN with some nifty little masquerades, like Python, for the same stuff all over again.
I think in the long run the software will do a much better job than a person

Software is good at doing a single, static, well-defined job many times. What people do much better than software is adopt to change, deal with unexpected events, and communicating with other people.

Anyway, my point is not that software isn't doing a good job, it's that there is a turnover point...

We are not even a century into computing and look what we already have achieved

Yes. No arguing that. But no trend ever keeps going in the same direction forever. It could well be that the diminishing returns for adding more software have already started.

That is because you define your world as the action of going to work in order to receive food and shelter.

No, I don't. You couldn't be more wrong about that.

This does not necessarily have to be your world. I say we should leave this world to machines

But do you believe this? Can we "leave the world to machines"? (or, to any abstraction?) Who controls these machines? They put all the worlds power in a few hands -- if we live at their whim, do they have your best interest in mind? And even if they do now, will they always have our best interests in mind? (if not, it is very unstable)

The problem reaches much deeper than just "the distribution mechanism". We already have a big problem with getting such basics as food all over the planet, and that's not because the mechanisms don't exist...

while everybody can go on to do what he is really passionate about.

I agree that would be great. We could do that already now. We could take care of the poor and un(der)employed people, step out of the consumerist mindset, and stop worrying and trying to control everyone's every actions. The problem is that it requires a shift in the mindset of people. Until we figure that out, I have very little belief in this "loving machine future".
Matter and energy are somewhat interchangeable (with SF technology, anyway, which is what we're talking about).

We (as in, the face of the Earth) receive 1.7E17 J of energy from the sun every second. That's 53.6E23 J of energy per year.

Worldwide energy consumption as of 2008 was 4.74E20 J. It's risen a bit since (thanks China!), but not by more than an order of magnitude. So that means we're receiving enough energy from the sun to power today's civilisation a hundred times over. And that's just the energy which lands on the face of the Earth.

My point is, really, that energy (and hence matter) is quite plentiful if you know how to make efficient use of it. By the time we have cornucopia devices, we'll probably have the technology so that accumulating the energy/matter for making a car is just a question of leaving it outside in the sun/rain/air for long enough and/or dumping a bunch of dirt into it.

Interesting. In addition to post-high school education access, it's important that we also re-think our education system by creating environments that inculcates learning around our individual passion/talent. Above average performers are known to love their craft, and in a hyper-competitive economy that requires one to learn, unlearn and relearn, passion would matter a whole lot.

Have you got confirmation that as the firm grows so does your compensation? Also seeing they have raised 8 figures then, they should easily be able to pay you 150k + equity + bonuses, if they are not able to do this I would be concerned and would be concerned as they aren't able to compensate you properly.

Also note, that your investments won't immediately make any return so that is another thing to consider especially in terms of the fact that you will be on a lower salary initally and will have to "wait" to see the outcome of your investments in terms of making your % back.

Additionally, I don't think a shift in career would make your less marketable if anything it will increase it because, should the firm "fail" then you have learnt expertise to bring back into the marketplace as a consultant looking from more of a financial background to assess whether adding X feature is good in terms of value to the company or anyone - sure you can A/B test this stuff but you can get a quick understanding by having both sets of skills.
