IANAL - but with the DPA and other EU data/privacy laws: at the point that the data was collected inside but transmitted outside the EU. Its treated somewhat like an export, or a border control. (this is why Apple allow you to preclude your app from certain local markets; enter the market, and you ARE bound by its laws for your actions in that market)

On the other hand; DPA violation doesn't result in prison, just a (potentially large) fine.

On the third hand, its quite possible that Path did not violate the DPA (although its possible they did). The DPA, in short states that you have to gather personal info for a specific, consensual purpose, and not use it for any other, and also store it in a way that protects it from loss/theft/misuse - where misuse includes deciding 6 months down the line to use it for another purpose. It also means that if your 'purpose' for holding that information ceases, you are legally obligated to purge the data - your legal permission to hold ends.

So; was there consent - almost certainly not, hence possible DPA violation. But once it was clear they had no broad public consent - they immediately purged the data, so possibly no _deliberate_ violation, and certainly a demonstration of willingness to correct the situation.

The only theoretical hard limit that makes sense is a limit on information. If you can't transmit information from A to B faster than C, then yes you've got a hard limit.

Every other natural phenomenon that doesn't obscure infromation that way can be figured out. There may of course be soft limits like it taking a billion years to figure out.

IP calling for me is a major disappointment at the moment - I've been on far too many conference calls where people are on all manner of different VOIP ways to connect to a call - Skype, Cisco etc etc - it's low quality, tonnes of echo, missed words.

What's even worse is when you have people from another company with a different VOIP provider / technology - then it becomes a joke.
What makes gold "real" value and other exchangeable items not "real" value?

You had better stick to talking about exchange value, because once you get into nebulous discussion of "real" value it becomes immediately relevant that gold is nonproductive at best and prone to fluctuations and bubbles in reality.

If you define the discussion of value as being limited to immediate short term exchange, then it's no surprise that you end up concluding that the only things of "real" value are whatever gives you liquidity. That is a part of the story, after all Berkshire keeps $20-$30 billion liquid as a matter of policy.

But that doesn't tell you anything about future returns or opportunity costs, and it is not the whole story. The idea that gold's value is "real" because others think it is real (or better, have long thought that it is real) is just as viciously circular as saying that currency's value is real because others believe it is real.

It probably started with a Tim Schafer tweet (50k followers). I primarily follow other game devs and damn near everyone tweeted the link. At one point 2 hours after launch my stream had 10 tweets in a row with a link. Game devs are heavily followed by gamers and media so everyone picked it up almost instantly.

Even better is that every game dev and every gamer wanted to see this succeed so it wasn't just one tweet but a stream. Every gaming website I know had threads with people excitedly yelling out milestones. Notch let his 578k followers know that he pledged 10k.

To be honest after just a few hours in it was almost impossible to not know about. Even HN had multiple links with discussion.

What the hell?! Someone has really stretched the definition of sexism here or the alleged problem exists in some alternate universe only.

I took the time and listened the audio recording. What happened is:

- The guy spends minutes talking about how good and smart Ms Lovell is and how she suits the role perfectly

- And in the end makes the short remark about that a sexy single lady who is now a sexy married woman, obviously to celebrate the recent happy event.

- He even pointed out how lucky her new husband was instead of, say, drooling at her sexiness himself.

- Everybody laughed.

- Ms Lovell laughed, and made some witty comments before starting with the real business.

And then some third party guy gets upset because he thinks there's a problem somewhere. Excuse me but this reeks of steep hypersensitivism.

It might certainly be sexist to say somewhat that would expand to "she's so smart that we picked her for this role eventhough she's only a woman" or "we chose her and that is because she was just too sexy to pass". That would be somehow implying that women are lesser but at least they can look good.

But this was clearly not the case in this event. What happened was a compliment, both on her recent marriage and related to that, her good looks.

Emphasis on the word "good". It was a compliment: the man stated what he thought were positive facts about her, and especially not pointed to anything negative nor exhibited, say, disturbing personal interest in her.

The strange thing is that it's not only that as if women couldn't take compliments anymore—I think most of them can—but, rather, it seems that some men can't take it anymore to observe women being complimented. This is just crazy.

We're all men and women and men do pay attention to good looking women and women do pay attention to good looking men (at least if only they let themselves). That is perfectly normal and there's generally nothing wrong in making a compliment about one's good looks. While there are subtle but complex rules about social interaction, flirting, including making comments about good looks or of even sexual nature, most of all that used to be the norm, and generally well received and lavishly given, without the slightest hint of sexist nature.

> Why would the music industry (or any artistic endeavor) be any different in this regard?

"why would" indicates you did not think about it but you just want to fit the arguments to your position. Answer is: why should it? Like everyone here on HN you should know that softwareland is not only filled with startups but that there are infinitely more ways to run a software company. Same with music. It's not about being Michael Jackson or starving poor.

I have seen all kind of spoiled brat arguments of entitled hard drive owners seen coming along here and they are in the end just that: sense of entitlement and "i want" spelled out in different forms.

Foremost I read it from the snarky tone with which BS "tips" are given like "sell you underwear", "if people don't pay just f* off" ... I was even reading from people who think that artists principally have no rights on their creations, others were going pseudo philosophical with "the bits of my hard drive are free", (Oh yes physical property is still sacred, can someone tell me why?).

And then to witness the shit storm breaking loose if a company uses designs of 37 signal. Then the wannabe startups come out of their holes, they already see their ios-apps floating around in freedom and not generating money anymore.

Here it is: If a content creator creates something it's at his will to decide what happens to it, if it's free, it's free. If he wants to be attributed or paid, then it be so. All else is not at your discretion. Running away with a 1TB hard drive full of downloaded content and then screaming "it's good for your resume" is just an insult. Not more.

This has got nothing to do with entrepreneurship. Apparently music motivates people to buy gadgets for several 100 bucks to have it 24/7, so let them take the free stuff, let them pay for the stuff with a price tag.

To paraphrase: consider it a product worth buying and pay or just leave.

As an aside: I do not make and do not intend to make money from music anymore and always have profited from very liberal use of copyright laws. But when I played copyrighted material I always made note of it and paid dues where applicable. Why is this such a difficult concept for the elite hanging out here? And why this kind of annoyed lecturing?

You have either to convince a few people with lots of money to fund your project, or a lot of people to give you a small amount of money.

Both options require some amount of reputation on your part and/or some goodwill from the patrons.

One of these options will leave you in a worse position. I know which one I would prefer.

I'm writing this on a Lenovo ThinkPad X220i (i3 processor, no camera, Bluetooth or fingerprint reader) and Lubuntu runs very well on it. Wi-fi and wired networks just work, and the stock Intel onboard graphics perform normal tasks flawlessly, though I can't speak to gaming performance.

I bought mine via outlet.lenovo.com, and if you have a Visa card, Lenovo has a deal with them at www.lenovo.com/visa whereby one can save a couple hundred dollars off the usual price.

As to which models to look at, the T- and X-series ThinkPads seem to be the ones to get.

This should probably be called the Heroku OS X Client, rather than giving it a new name (i.e. "Toolbelt") and implying that it is something new.
It's also damn easy to waste money at any scale simply due to your own financial demeanor. I waste a lot of money on $50-$500 gadgets because that amount of money doesn't mean much to me. I'm not very financially responsible, though I'm not irresponsible either.

If I made ten times what I do, I'd probably be buying $500-$5000 gadgets just as frequently. If $100k didn't mean much to me then I'd probably buy a Tesla. If $20M didn't mean much to me then I might become a space tourist.

A more financially responsible person than myself would be likely to remain more responsible as they scale up, and a less responsible person would likely remain less responsible.

I'm fine with this (if I'm going to be advertised at, I'd prefer ads that have at least a small chance of being relevant to me) as long as information isn't leaking out to the advertisers - for instance all the stuff my browser picks up is from fb not images from the advertiser's server (they could then use referrer tracking to find my public profile and infer something from the keywords they've purchased hooks for their adverts on) and so forth.

One thing that irritates me about the "<somebody> has read <article>" posts is that if you click on any of them you are forced to accept the news source's app if you want to read it yourself which may leak my information. If I was happy giving source basic details and letting the post to my contacts via my stream I'd already have added their app thankyouverymuch. Of course there is the option of opening a new window and copy+paste the headline into Google, which is what I do if I care enough (and if the information is apparently available at another source, I'll read it there instead).

Einstein had a day job as a patent clerk when working on relativity. Leibniz did manage to invent calculus, including the notation used to this day, even though he picked up mathematics relatively late in life and even though he also had a job and lots of other occupations in philosophy, engineering, politics etc. You can do a lot if you dedicate to a problem 10 quality hours a week for 10 years. It still takes a lot of dedication and focus, but stating as some kind of law that unless you work obsessively all the time you can not succeed is rather simplistic for something as vague and at the same time as complex as "success". Hard work isn't a virtue by itself, the capability to do work is a precious resource, that should be used wisely where it will make the most impact.
Just to chime in with the others regarding international support: hopefully the funding will help you expand in that way. I'm in the UK and would like to see some more viable alternatives to Paypal.

Glass also has decorative value. There's no easily imaginable risk of everyone suddenly deciding that it has NO decorative value.

So what? That's not the relevant risk. The relevant risk is that whatever you are using as a currency will DECREASE in value. Say, from the level of something highly valued as a medium of exchange accepted everywhere, to the level of a mere decoration. Or from a peak value where you bought in big during a speculative bubble, to a lower value where (yes) it's still worth something, but worth less than if you had kept it in treasury bonds or an index fund or a farm.

Agreed; the largest advantage of electric car production is the comparative simplicity of the underlying "sled" (can't link directly, but you can see it if you go to http://www.teslamotors.com/models/features#/interior and scroll down to the section "safety"). After several iterations of that, producing cheap cars will be a no-brainer. I'd also expect rising differentiation between "car companies" and "electric car sled producers".

The value of anything can be propped up by speculation, what varies is the value which can be maintained without speculation (e.g., in cases where the bubble bursts).

I think this is the use of discriminating among (A) resources reasonably expected to decline in value, (B) resources expected to 'hold value' modulo speculation, (C) resources expected to have ongoing returns with or without speculation.

Interestingly, Alan Moore manages to miss the point and be spot-on at the same time.

Nowhere does he seem to cotton to the nature of Anonymous, the disavowal of identity that accompanies taking up the mask: even though _he himself_ demonstrated the succession of V.

But that's perhaps to be expected; the movie necessarily completed the image of the mask by making it abundantly clear that it is when the _group_ takes up the mask that the mask has power. You cannot punish one if you must punish all.

At the same time, he is clearly in tune with the movement. "Today's response to similar oppressions seems to be one that is intelligent, constantly evolving and considerably more humane."

All in all I read (if I may) V for Valediction from a man who thanks the movement for validating his work, and encourages the next generation just as an intellectual parent ought.

And also like a good intellectual parent, he points to his own heritage... "Some ghosts never go away..."

Will wide -webkit prefix support stop sites like google.com from sniffing and blocking users? Probably not. And that is even bigger problem than forgetting to add some vendor specific prefixes. Worst thing about it is that it's all "politics". Want people to use your browser? Block other browsers and they will eventually switch. Microsoft did this, now Google does this. It's just that this time no one seems to care.
For what it's worth, he hasn't seen the movie. Any differences in message between his comic and the adaptation have either found him strictly via hearsay or are lost on him entirely.

The wire is still realistic, because it specifically follows a team doing a large drug investigation, rather than the general work of the dept. In the book, there are a lot more misc. trails that go cold, like you describe.

On the kickstarter page, when Tim talks about what they're going to do with the extra money they've gotten he say:

"Additional money means it can appear on more platforms, be translated into more languages, have more music and voice..."

So if money keeps rolling in like it has, chances are good they'll have the cash to make the game multi platform.
