>Apple surely has an enormous stockpile of software patents, but their lawsuit activity has been pretty limited.

Yes, $100 million on lawsuits in one year is pretty limited.

For a company that's pretty push heavy, I'm surprised they didn't implement their own push service, since they manage the chat room logs anyway. It isn't complicated.
Facebook has always been, and is still notoriously bad at developer support.
It's interesting that same forces that are making fractional leases on computing capability available in the cloud seem to be at work enabling the ad hoc provisioning of workspaces.

Coupled with the pervasive availability of wifi in coffee shops and eating establishments and transition to laptops or even smaller form factor tablets and smartphones for computing support, the old assumptions that an incubator provided value offering office space, Internet connectivity, and space in a co-located datacenter are defunct.

For startups with less than a dozen people, both their computing and physical office configurations are becoming increasingly virtual.

I think this will enable new opportunities for firms to provide professional services, knowledge work, and clerical support in a variety of new forms and delivery modes by interacting either in virtual on-line spaces and/or virtual office space on demand.
I was inspired to steal and pirate the above magnet link into this quick vigilantist internet liberation site: http://yason.kapsi.fi/piratebay.html. I would be positively surprised to catch the interest of even a single MAFIAA party, though.
Googlebot knows more Javascript than you think
Mathematics. Plot a difficult function, search limits, derivatives, integrals... Wolfram is the master of calculus. It only fails when I make queries about sets.
Actually, the more correct question should be, "how to make it work with Scrivener" as I think this project more like command-line build tool (make/ant/sbt) and Scrivener being the IDE. And I'm also interested to know the answer :)
>I'm against quantifying it at all because, while useful, price is a very limited metric. There are numerous cases where you can increase the transaction sum and achieve 0 value increase, eg. monopolistic pricing in a market with inelastic demand or bad investing (destroying capital) or externalities, etc.

I'm pretty confused as to how you first define that you don't want to quantify it but then one sentence later make a quantitative declaration ("achieve 0 value increase..."). How does this work?
I'd say the line between personality and personality disorder is when you derive pleasure out of hurting people who have done nothing to you. Even more so when they are already grieving.

I think the concept of lulz to me is funny when it comes from a place of humor rather than hatred. Perhaps it's a gray area for some people at what point it stops being funny and starts being simply malicious.
Wolfram alpha should be positioned as a web search supplement. Just like how if you put some math equation into google search, it will calculate it for you, wolfram alpha has to do the opposite and add a web search for you. It will then become significantly more useful, since every query will have a web search fallback. If they load it in parts, like duck duck go does, even better. I think duck duck go with more extensive wolfram alpha integration would work.
Sorry, I guess I went off on a tangent not directly related to the link you posted. :-) You're absolutely right. Have you used the new Wolfram Alpha UIs for anything serious yet? How did you find them?
Why oracle thinks people use R...

Zero means nothing, absence of extra value, that can be established on qualitative grounds - but true it doesn't have to be strictly 0 it just means there is no proportional value added.
It really is DRM done right, it now rarely breaks and the offline mode works. I rarely buy games other than on steam any more.
I don't get your point - you should not care about characters/codepoints, but rather user-perceived characters/grapheme clusters.

You need a library for that regardless of whether the underlying representation is UTF-16 or UTF-32....

I never understood why Google would give me 8GB of free email storage (of which I use less than 1 GB), but limits my picasa storage to 1024 MB. They need to homogenize their product lineup and just give me an amount N of storage and let me decide how I want to use that.

>Do you pay for broadcast TV program or radio ? They are funded by advertising.

Actually, in the UK, we do pay for it (BBC broadcasts, at least) through a TV license.
No. I don't buy it. This is exactly the sob story that's served up to us by corporations like Disney and conglomerates like the RIAA. People create art for reasons other than making money. We're never going to end up with a world that's devoid of musicians, artists or authors.

However we could plausibly find ourselves living in a world without these multinational corporations.
This was actually an thorough overview for JavaScript newbies. My only complaint was that the author glossed over apply() and call() saying they were 'difficult to illustrate', two functions that were new to me.

Wisely, the author did link to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Introduction_to_Object-Orie... to fill in the gaps.

I wrote https://github.com/Bogdanp/Pirate as a fun little exercise and thought some of you might find it useful.
If you pay for space upgrades then that applies to all services. I'm fairly sure the Gmail space system was related to how they stored the data, as they have the always increasing ticker. Either that or it is/was a marketing ploy.
I don't think your considering enough variables here. At face value, assuming all other things are equal, you are correct. But all other things are not equal.

I'm far more likely to give my money to the individual artist or collective group of artists for a piece of work than I am a 'Disney'. The Louis CK situation is a great example of this dynamic en-mass.

People DO appreciate artists, people ARE willing to pay artists for their work. People are NOT willing to pay ridiculously top heavy, bureaucratic corporations that do nothing but get in the way of the purchaser experiencing the work of artists.
See the recent kerfuffle about online gambling domain name seizures. If something is deemed illegal for US consumers, the DOJ works pretty hard to shut it down regardless of jurisdiction - although if I recall correctly, one of the triggers for seizure in the online gambling case was that the sites were clearly marketed as catering for the US consumer.
V4 is a really nice evolution of the product. Can't wait for new widgets.
This is a bit simplified since often your app's activity won't be the only thing on the radio, but:

Full load: large transmission to start off, but radio is idle after, if the list is long or user scrolls slowly radio might go to sleep after its programmed idle timer (8 seconds in GP's post)

Lazy load: keep on making transmissions periodically, either waking up the radio (and keeping it on for another 8 seconds) or outright never letting it sleep (if you lazy load every 7 seconds or less)
For reference, here is the Google storage pricing: http://support.google.com/picasa/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans...
But you have private channels that are funded by advertising ?
Google can index and search your emails in GMail, and serve you ad. The more free storage the more emails to index. Pictures are difficult to parse and index. It's less a profit center for them.

The linked article doesn't mention anything about Oracle.
Why is money the sole metric of wealth. How much value does open source provide

Why are feet and miles the metric of distance, can't we just have near and far?

More seriously: value has to have a common unit of exchange. The grocery store clerk isn't going to give you your shopping for free because you happened to write some piece of software he isn't even aware of. Money allows value to be stored and transferred. Anything else is just warm fuzzies.

This is not new. In case of software patents, the Council members of a given country have already decided (we had the minutes of the closed meeting) while advertising consultation and debate back home. It was outright a straight lie, which we could prove. And they got away with it for the time being ...but this will backfire, if it doesn't already, if you look at the EU and EU election turnout

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/europe/04/eu_parliamen...

(note: the Parliament is still the most voter-friendly EU body, compared to the Council and the Commission -- hopefully they will reject, as it was the case with software patents)

Actually, I wonder about a more extreme scenario.

Suppose Eolas' patents are upheld. And Eolas sues all the large websites for an INJUNCTION to PREVENT them from using "interactive elements". Suppose they don't want to license it. Or if they do, they demand $10 BILLION DOLLARS from each company.

What can anyone do about it at that point? Patent law in the US does not have a compulsory licensing provision.

If the eolas patent gets upheld, this could very well have extreme effects for several years on the whole world.

Is BlueStack an Android Emulator?
It's not a sob story. It's basic logic. You haven't refuted anything I've said, except for claiming that the story is one given by the likes of Disney and the RIAA, which is irrelevant and untrue.

The only valid argument you've said is that people create art for reasons other than making money. Which is of course partially true. But obviously, to a lesser extent. I'm sure many people on HN would still program without getting paid for it, but there should be no doubt in a reasonable person's mind that overall less good software will be created, and many of those individual people, artists though they are, will create less software because of lack of time due to having a day job.

What if the eolas patent didn't lack this? What if it really was the first one to submit a $400 patent application in which it describes how things will work in a "browser", some technology that will support those things only a few years from now? Under current patent law, merely submitting a patent application lets you prevent anyone from actually implementing this for 20 years.

In 2005, if I knew that touchscreens would get small enough to work on iPhones, could I spend $4k for 10 patents just to cover all kinds of things you can do with touchscreens on mobile phones? I would have a component there labeled "touchscreen", even though such a thing didn't exist yet. Then, when they finally got small enough and phones got produced, I could use this patent to charge apple and other companies any amount I wanted for the license, through the doctrine of equivalents

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine_of_equivalents
The site could use a little more explanation. The app store page reveals that behind the scenes, there's a database of junk mail logos mapped to the unsubscribe page/contract details for each piece of mail, and taking a photo causes an unsubscribe request to be sent (with unrecognized junk mail added to a queue to be investigated). That's an awesome idea :)

It's also available for Android, which the site doesn't make clear (I left the site thinking "pity it's only on iOS", and only realised when i hit "get the app" to see if the app page had more detail).

Finally, neither the site nor the app page says whether this works outside the US - I'm assuming it's US-only?
Didn't you answer your own question? They know most gmail users won't use more than 1GB so it's good for marketing to offer 8GB and financially they won't waste too much money as most people won't use those 8GB. With picasa however, that limit would probably be reached quickly by most or many so it's safer for them to offer less there.
Well - Tusk admitted that there were certain problems with ACTA, so I consider it a big step. As for debate - yeah, it may not have been very nice, but what did you expect?

Somehow, I trust that the signing of ACTA was because Tusk was misinformed. We've made him rethink the whole thing, and he's starting to back off.

PO has much to lose if ACTA gets signed, and not much to gain. They seem to get it now.

I have an idea for a startup which a handful of people (even a few that work in the related industry) say is phenomenal, but I don't know how to code. Nada.

Making simple software and charging heaps because we are hip and edgy...
I didn't make this.
The tutorial is somewhat incorrect with respect to strings. JavaScript strings are UTF-16, which means that strings are represented as a sequence of 16-bit half-words, but a single character could be spread over multiple half-words. For example, open up the Developer console on your browser and type

alert("🐱"); // a cat face

and JavaScript will not have any problems processing the string (assuming you have the fonts to see that particular character.) Then try

alert("🐱".length); // 2

and you will find that it prints 2, because that single character ("code point") requires two half-words to represent. This does mean that you cannot access this character except by slicing, because

alert("🐱"[0]); // an unknown character

produces half of a character, which could be problematic and require libraries to work around if you're attempting to access individual characters. Other string operations still work fine, though

alert("abc🐱de".indexOf("🐱")) // 3

so while a few operations will need special library support in some cases, JavaScript certainly won't "choke" on any of these strings.
Those bullets showing at which "frame" are you. You can't switch between them manually which makes them kind of pointless. I couldn't read what I want and it took me some time to read through all of it. Also, second and third bullet have the same text. When the photo changed it made me read it again.

After reading through I still knew nothing. Market description was much more informative.

PS: It should be geographically blocked on markets (is it possible?) as I guess it only works in USA
A lot has changed since (again) in Hungary, and to many this is no longer the case, unfortunately.

The most popular call-in radio is being killed, because officials feel, that they need the frequency for another music station. It is an open secret, that it is the prime forum for the criticism of the current government.

http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/neelie-kroes/media-pluralism-hunga...

For the record, the call-in show's radio station also obtained the frequency in a shady way, displacing classic fm to be a traffic news station (hence its original name), then ending up being the outlet of the most senior professional journalists -- whom have seen much of the old regime.
Agreed. They could also have a blog on how to stop paperspam and get a bunch of traffic for marketing their app. Also a tech blog (how does the image detection work?) etc.

Great, that's useful. The only problem is "Based on Alexa estimates". It could be even better if they included more data sources e.g. Google Trends and Compete.
This should be interesting. All Google needs to do for Drive to be "better" than Dropbox is create a clone, integrate it with my existing Google account, and have higher storage limits.

I'd say it's just as likely as not that they'll manage to create something worse, even with the with Dropbox as a nearly static target for 5 years.

Somehow Big Co's almost always manage to screw up even the relatively easy things.
3 Tips for using AppDomain.AssemblyResolve Event Correctly

Torquebox: JRuby + Java messages/injection, job scheduling, and caching
I mostly use it for one-off math queries that my TI-89 can't handle. (Or when my TI-89 is put away somewhere.) Most recently I've been using it for Laplace and Inverse Laplace transforms, they also recently added the ability to "show steps" when solving differential equations too which is neat. It's tremendously helpful for getting work done with the results instead of spending time trying to calculate them by hand. I'm still wondering what sorts of ramifications their "show steps" feature has for any math education where it's applicable, hopefully it's putting less focus on homework and more on testing.
This seems like a really cool idea that I'd like to try, except I have no idea how taking a picture will do anything for anyone.

Can you please elaborate or provide some explanation so I can understand? Thanks!

There is a very long list of bad governments, would you suggest the US should invade them all?
In all fairness, the Slovakia probably backed out because it's just a few weeks before parliamentary elections and politicians need to earn good points. There were anti-acta protest and petitions, yes, but not so strong as in Poland for example. The protests were also in the shadow of anti-corruption protests taking place in similar times (as was already mentioned in comments).
