You're missing the option of copyright reform that will no longer protect the business model of the entrenched players.

It may not happen in the US, were most of the industry resides and politicians are bought and paid for before they enter office, but other countries that do not have such a powerful copyright industry are getting tired of being bullied around by the US.
He actually said that he had it blocked - that could easily be read to mean that he blocked it or someone else blocked it.
1: Indian Government must encourage piracy.
2: Internet enlightens people.
3: It is in the interest of a large organisation to keep people in the dark (like governments in third world countries)

If 2 & 3 are correct, how will 1 ever happen?

"moderates cost based on the consumer, that is based on the income of the customer the rates change" is the stupidest shit I have had the misfortune of reading today.
The mono build pack from Ben Hall (https://github.com/BenHall/heroku-buildpack-mono) looks interesting.

With AppHarbor's pricing announcements yesterday (which sucked) I've finally got around to looking at Mono and Heroku. It looks a good combination, although still referred to as unsupported/unstable. I plan to deploy a few test apps to Heroku using the mono build pack and NancyFX.
5 Best Online Collaboration Tools For A Team Blog — Monetize Blogging
I agree. Users are always right, even for open source software. Requiring the users to change their way is an easy way to lose them. A major player like Facebook willing to use Git is a good thing, as it may help spread the software in companies like Facebook. Git should try its best to please its user, rather than the other way round.

The licensing for streaming music online has resulted in geo-tarded extortion, leaving all but a few of innovative initiatives struggling to survive and at the mercy of the whims of the license holders.

There should have been as many Spotify's and Pandora's as there are radio stations by now. Last FM's awesome social music platform should have been a triumphant global success, instead of being slowly strangled by license holders.

Licensing is not a reasonable solution. It's regulated extortion that kills innovation stone dead.
At my previous job, I signed on with really low pay because I had little professional experience, but tons of personal experience. They quickly realized they were underpaying me and in a year, I was almost at what I was worth, and at 3 years, I was there. Since this was my only real experience on my resume, I felt this was a good response from them, and they valued me.

Then they refused to give me good raises the next 2 years. My skills were increasing faster than ever, and I was the only guy who knew the entire system inside and out. Everyone in the company came to me when there was a problem because I knew how it all fit together. (I did not hoard this knowledge... Others were disinterested in having it, or didn't stay long enough to matter. I was unable to pass it on, and documented as much as I could at all times.)

So at 5 years, at my review, I asked for a raise. The answer was that if I "really cared" I should go talk to my boss's boss. ... Seriously? After some arguing, my boss eventually told me that they would be looking to correct everyone's salaries within a year.

Faced with the knowledge that they intended to knowingly screw me for a year, and then possibly continue afterwards, I started replying to the job offers that had been coming in. I had previously been ignoring them.

Right away, I found a company that looked good, and signed on. For a 40% pay hike. I had known I was underpaid, but didn't realize it was that much.

6 months later, the pay raises came in at the old job. A friend who was making what I made (!) got a 20% increase. He managed to find get a job offer at the same rate I was now making, and took it back to them. They refused to match it.

And in case that wasn't insult enough, they put out a job ad for 7 new people at the rate I was now making. The rate my friend tried to get them to pay. Their existing, experienced, efficient works were worth less to them than random people off the street.

I told my new boss about all this and he gave the same advice that a lot of people here gave: Do not accept a counter offer. IF the company gives one, they intend to replace you soon with someone who won't hold them hostage. Because that's how they see it. You are demanding that they pay you more, or you'll quit and leave them short of staff until they can find a replacement. They can't take the chance that you'll do it a second time, so you're out of there as soon as they can make it happen.

And he's right. I'd do the same thing in his position. All he needs to do to avoid that problem is to pay me properly, and that's happening. It's so simple.
1 is a distant hope, that if the indian govt were ideal, it would encourage piracy, however as point 3 is valid, yes it will never encourage..

And moderating cost based on the customer's income (the difference of purchasing power of an Indian vs an American) already happens, many games are lower priced in specific regions, the point made here is that it should happen universally
For me, neither. I've got no interest in linking my identity in one online service to my identity in a totally unrelated one.

I've just signed up for a free trial to Netflix and they seem to be determined to force you to link its account to your Facebook one (you can avoid it by signing out of FB before going on the Netflix site, but even if you do that it then attempts to link the two together in the background next time you go on the Netflix page). But I don't want my FB page filling up with a list of things that I've watched. Partly because I may sometimes want to watch something I don't want to broadcast to the entire world, but mostly because I doubt that most of my friends have the slightest interest in keeping track of my everyday viewing habits.

When I was following Atkins (because I like to lift weights and we need lots of protein) I read that the Inuit are really healthy people and they only eat meat.

Maybe meat is understimate and it's our western life style that cause the illnesses.

Meat + bad carbs + no exercise = health problems

But for sure being a vegetarian or something in the middle is healthy. As long as you continue biking and avoid fast absorbing carbs

Good luck

I've been a vegetarian for about 20 years now. I was a vegie from birth until about 2 years old, then ate meat until I was about four, then went back to being a vegie when I was force fed Liver and Onion at my parents hotel.

I don't think there is any real social pressure on me to eat meat. Once in a while I get a jerk who isn't one of my friends trying to explain to me the "error of my ways". But it's pretty easy to shrug that off, with an equally obscene response of something like "animals are my friends, and you don't eat your friends do you?".
Ha.

But the real reason is I can get by fine without eating meat and would be viciously sick I'm sure if I ever attempted to eat meat now.

This article is so beautiful.

I spoke to my dad regarding this hub-hub on piracy vs. freedom. His thinking is very similar to the publishing industry that pirating something is simply illegal, and that's that.

I lost out in the discussion, because I wasn't able to provide good points on the aspect of freedom, and that actually it is not piracy, but just sharing, and it actually benefits the industry, not ruin it.

This article just made my job easier. It mentions all the important points.
One of my greatest regrets from undergrad days was having graduated a year too early to enroll in this course. Scott Strobel was something of a visionary for setting it up, and it seems to have paid off with at least one cool result -- not to mention, a handful of students who now know how it feels to find something new.

I wish more professors would actively engage their students in "real" research projects, i.e. beyond the usual cookie-cutter laboratory lessons or follow-a-grad-student internships. Sure, it's more work for everyone involved, but experiences like this are the best way to convert bright students into real scientists, IMO.
20 Reasons Why Not To Do an Email Startup
I was driving to the beach with my wife and the question of whether it was possible to create a half-human, half ape hybrid (much like a liger or mule) popped into my head.

I thought that someone must have tried it out* so a quick google came up with this fascinating piece of history.

*my theory is that just about anything you think of, someone has probably given it a go.
This raises an interesting question: what sort of rights a Human-Ape hybrid would have. Is it an animal, or a human?
So then would you be happy working X number of hours of your 40 hour work week for 'anyone' without pay?

Each language fills a void, a different way of doing something, just because it can be done. Because it is possible. And there are always uses for every way something can be done.

Node.js is nothing different, it has its pros and cons. You simply cannot tag it as 'good' or 'bad'. You are smart if you use it where it suits you. You are silly if you just try to trash it.

Ask HN: Do you use HN as an alternative to Disqus comments?
Recently I have seen this trend of articles simply linking to the Hacker News item for further discussion. I loved this.

This is cool on many levels. The voting system on HN keeps comments clean and on-topic. And the brilliant community provides a vigorous discussion of the article itself, one that would not have been possible on the isolated blog page itself.

Do you use HN as a commenting alternative to something like Disqus for your articles?
You could make it more educational by explaining what some of the terms on the page mean.

For example, I don't currently know what the ASN is.

The top-10 lists are amusing, and I'd make the results there links to the engine so we can avoid having to type 127.0.0.1 to see what happens.

The reason the Inuit can eat an diet consisting only of meat while remaining healthy is that it matches their lifestyle. A big problem for health in western society is the mismatch between those two, I don't think you can blame either one in isolation. We don't do a whole lot, but we eat a load of sugary stuff. This is a big part of Michael Pollan's critique on our diet, it is a very interesting read.

Besides, there are the obvious other health-related reasons to not eat factory-farmed meat, which most of our meat is. For that I can only recommend reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Saffran Foer. It was what pushed me over the line into becoming a vegetarian.
With few exceptions, most of the papers and presentations I've written get finished, tagged, archives, and never touched again. Sometimes I'll start a new presentation and take some material from a previous one, but I still typically do so as a new document. Given a model like that (which seems fairly standard in research), unlimited projects wouldn't really affect me much, since I can just delete projects I've finished with. (I wouldn't keep the canonical original on ShareLaTeX anyway.)

Do you expect many people to keep a giant pile of still-edited documents on ShareLaTeX?

Regarding git: using it for basic built-in versioning seems useful, but in my case I actually don't want to treat ShareLaTeX as the canonical source of the document and keep the git repository there. I'd just like to use ShareLaTeX as an editor, and keep the Git repo elsewhere. I don't know offhand the best way to support that, though. Pushing to ShareLaTeX to edit and pulling back when done to push to the canonical repo could work, and it seems like the simplest option, since you can safely ignore conflicts entirely. Using ShareLaTeX as an editor on a third-party git repository seems potentially awesome, but fraught with unfortunate security implications, as well as having to deal with merge conflicts on pull.
So it's not the fault of programming or any other activity per se, but that of the stressful (work) environment.
Ah :-)

"Autonomous System numbers (ASNs) are globally unique identifiers for Autonomous Systems."

I'd also add some information as to where/why the origin of the trace route is - I'm not sure how useful it is to have it come from some random location in France for me.
Wrong in so many ways.. I don't know where to start.
ASN: autonomous system number, it's basically the ISP your traffic is routing through.

Thanks for the idea, will add some tool tips to the page, also I plan to have a link on the ASN so you can see the more detailed ISP information.
You have a typo in the graph header, "Responce Average". What might be good is showing reverse DNS lookup if the IP is specified (or even for domain if it is different).
I plan to add multiple locations over the next week or so, you will be able to select where you want the source to be, or have multiple sources :)
What I mean is, even if they manage to solve this problem with some tweaks, they will again hit the bottleneck in an year or two, so they should rethink their source code management
The hardest part is making sure no one finds out about all them, and that information doesn't leak between those discreet tasks. Indiscretions are killer.

I've been using linux for quite a time, and I personally love it. But I'm afraid average person(non-programmer)reading this blogpost will think that linux is something so fundamentally broken, you need to accomplish such trivial tasks as copy/paste throug hours of pain and suffering. Its not like that. Linux provides both normal and advanced modes of accomplishing stuff, which is an advantage over other OSs like for example windows, which only gives you one way to do stuff (which is almost always rudemtary for a power user).

I'm not passing judgement on you personally. In fact, I twice emphasized that I'm not saying that is what you should have done.

You may have had a Very Bad Manager. There may have been nothing you could have done about it, other than walk away. I totally accept that.

But you write: they (managers) see a class divide between "management" and "workers"

When what I see in your words is you (the programmer at the time) seeing (and reinforcing through your actions) a class divide between management and workers. You blame the bad managers for a behavioral pattern that you were just a as much a part of. At least that's what I read in your words.

And that's what I see in many other programmers. They act like children with zero responsibility, and then complain about being treated as such by evil pointy haired bosses.

It's a two way street. And given that we, the engineers, are the ones who know how it should be done, we have a considerable responsibility in changing it.

That is in no way different than the current situation. If all of the dozens of trusted certificate authorities the world over has decided that they shouldn't provide certs for company X, you should probably be looking to company X for the problem, rather than the authorities.

In any case, users have always had the option of modifying the trust infrastructure or even ignoring it entirely.

You might add that Lisp (well Scheme and some Common Lisps), Scala, and Haskell provide mechanisms to make recursion equivalent to iteration without explicit looping constructs that require mutation (tail recursion).
OK, so the possibility of an IPO is a necessary condition for investment, but is it sufficient? Would any kind of investor put money in if they think there is a chance of an IPO (with the odds being what they are now) but zero chance for an acquisition? Isn't acquisition the attractive fallback that tilts the odds more favorably? Wouldn't a scenario of no acquisitions stack the odds against the startup so high as to preclude investment? That is the big question. Aren't acquisitions the motor behind the startup system? Aren't they its bread and butter?

What I'm saying is that programming for fun on your free time is absolutely not the same as programming to pay the rent, and this is not straightforward when you start learning computer science (and that's what this article is about, right?). You have to respect a lot of things that stops you in the creation process, because the goal here is not to do cool things but do as you're told, to take decisions not for your entertainment but for your boss. Sure there are people that do whatever they want at work, but it's relatively rare. And this, my friends, is just my humble opinion.
