whats the fuzz about bundle exec? that annoyed me for some time but it's sure gone for some time that I don't even remember it anymore..
What I'm trying to get at is that every provision concerning fair use is murky, and has to withstand argument in court. Every part of a fair use claim is subject to 'judgement' rather than merely establishing factual claims.

The law doesn't provide any real guidance as what constitutes a fair use work, only that somethings do count as fair use and in court we'll decide which do.

Determining fair use is a complicated, fact-specific analysis and even lawyers will have a hard time predicting if a case will win under a fair use claim.

Lots of things are items 'to be decided in court', but the preponderance of prior cases, and the strictness of the law makes it pretty clear if an argument is going to be successful or unsuccessful. Fair Use doesn't really provide that.

Here's a question - is there any piece of Javascript you would wack into a html page which would allow users to query the contact details of their representatives? It would be good if this was as international as possible (though in some countries it would be impossibl).
Dear Boston…
I think you're overestimating the importance of popularity because AutoIt is so specialized and moreover proprietary.

All of the languages I've listed have very good open source implementations and active communities. (Except assembly. But assembly is special, so let's ignore it.) Additionally, all the languages work and are stable.

Really, AutoIt is almost a straw man: it does not compare to any of the languages I listed at all. Reading about it, it seems that almost any modern programming language is going to have much better features, support, implementations, performance...etc.

If AutoIt is the standard you're holding Python too, of course Python is going to seem wonderful! But that's not very telling: any modern language is going to seem magical in that comparison.

If you've only ever used AutoIt and Python, you should really consider learning some other languages. It will give you a much better perspective, and make you think in new ways. I particularly suggest learning a statically typed functional programming language like Haskell.
> Of course not, nobody thinks that.

I'm pretty sure Fielding does, see "improved on-the-fly":

"The transitions may be determined (or limited by) the client’s knowledge of media types and resource communication mechanisms, both of which may be improved on-the-fly (e.g., code-on-demand)."

http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hyperte...

Hypermedia is great for intelligent clients (e.g. humans) who can adapt to, say, a webpage changing and new fields suddenly showing up in the hypermedia (HTML) that are now required.

However, for an application, it's going to be hard-coded to either do:

1) POST /employee with name=foo&age=1, GET /employee?id=1

Or

2) GET /hateoas-entry-point, select "new employee" link, fill out the 2 fields (and only 2 fields) it knew about when the client was programmed (name, age), post it to the "save employee link", go back to "/hateoas-entry-point", select "get employee" link, fill in the "id=1". (...or something like that).

In either scenario, the non-human client is just as hard-coded as the other--it's either jumping to external URLs or jumping to internal links. Either way those URLs/links (or link ids) can't change and the functionality is just as frozen.

Perhaps the benefits of hypermedia would be more obvious if Fielding built a toy example or two that we could all touch and feel instead of just dream up. But so far there seem to be a lot of non-HATEOAS REST APIs that are doing just fine sans hypermedia.
How Google Took $500 Million And Turned It Into $47 Million
They do have that option. The photos they are protecting have that option set. On their settings page:

http://www.flickr.com/account/privacy/

They have a setting that says "Allow others to share your stuff". If you have marked it No, it cannot be shared to Pinterest. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Given that the alternative is effectively stealing bandwidth, which would you prefer?

Your first statement asserts that the "vast majority" of NEA projects are bad ideas. Seems that reality doesn't bear that out, most of them seem reasonable to me.

And the second is weird doublethink nonsense. Asserting that reality is complicated is just the truth. It's the libertarian position that is absolutist ("the vast majority of NEA projects are bad ideas", "no one wants to fund NEA projects"). My position is that for pretty much any project, there are people who want it and people who don't. And so you need to look carefully at the evidence and fund the stuff that's good. Where's the fallacy?
He's quoting Shakespeare.

As far as a historical account is concerned, you're more correct, but not entirely so. Suetonius mentions that some claim Julius Caesar uttered those words as he died, however his ultimate conclusion was that Caesar, in fact, uttered nothing in death. Plutarch, the other relavant historical account of what happened, came to the same conclusion.

I'd have to say that they're probably right, or are at least in a better position to say what happened than us ;)
The comparison of a fully discharged battery to the negligence of running a car with no or bad oil is disingenuous and likely manipulative. One is a passive issue of forgetting or not knowing a car requires charging when _not operating_, the other is an active negligence of operating a car that is unfit to run. I can neglect a car in storage for decades and getting it started will not require more than the cost of the car. At best it will require a tune-up and a full tank of gas.

> They could have an option like "prevent users from posting my photos to other websites".

(EDIT: Totally missed the "Allow others to share your stuff" option that spullara mentioned. I still think that feature should probably be wrapped hand-in-hand with CC, though.)

Flickr already has this in the CC licenses, which are already more specific options than that. (Anything in CC is "allow people to use this elsewhere" to some extent.)

Honestly, this could all be made better by making the CC licenses more prominent and making the descriptions much more human-readable (for the non technical, non startup-y crowd).

The CC tool at https://creativecommons.org/choose/ is really close, but the wording still a bit too close to legalese IMO. Perhaps:

* Let other people use my photos as long as they credit me. (Yes is locked in)
* Let other people use my photos on products and websites where they make money. (Yes/No)
* Let other people use this for collages, Photoshopped mashups, and other derivative works. (Yes/As long as they use the same open license for it/No)

(With some sort of live-updating "here is the license you have ended up with and here is what it means" bit.)

I’m not sure if the licensing stuff shows up in the Flickr registration process at all, but maybe a reminder in the (relatively spacious) sidebar every few logins would help folks choose the right thing.

Digg Data Reveals What We Read But Are Too Scared or Embarrassed To Share
Cheap Wedding Dresses
Cheap wedding dresses require a lot of looking upon and touching too so shopping online cannot provide this experience to you but there are many sites which have a long standing in the industry so you can easily trust them with your dresses.
The startup I work for is filled with boxes of Arduino parts, Enterprise devices in different stages, and anything we find on the interwebs that makes a cool demo (e.g. shit that flys and has an Android SDK) -- I wouldn't have it any other way. We don't manufacture these devices, but being able to build software for something physically tangible is much more gratifying, I think.
Right, but is that sustainable?

I don't claim to know nearly enough about economics to even have an opinion on this subject, I'm just saying that I thought the question the article was asking was more about the economic value of Facebook (and, by extension, social networks, though, this extension may be pushing it), than it was about whether or not some competitor would be able to "dethrone Facebook", as it were.
World Clamors for Linux Experts
On Tuesday, the Linux Foundation joined forces with jobs site Dice.com to release a survey that shows a rising demand for developers steeped in Linux, including developers and system administrators. The foundation surveyed more than 2,000 hiring managers, businesses, government organizations and staffing agencies that use Linux, and 81 percent of respondents said that hiring Linux talent is a priority in 2012.
Of the people who were at TC while it was at the house, where it went from blog to big business, I believe only Leena is remaining and some of the guys from the gadget blog such as John.

Other blogs have successfully churned their writing staff and managed to maintain popularity (Engadget, Gawker). But I think a lot of that unique voice that Techcrunch had is no longer there, replaced with a style that is more mainstream. That said, the audience for insider-style silicon valley startup stories is only so big and the broader tech market is both larger and more lucrative.

Amazing Comcast customer service.
I just had an amazing experience with Comcast.

While trying to clear up a DOCSIS boot file issue, the agent got annoyed, I guess. The agent then simply sent a SNMP remote to my modem, and left the session before I rebooted.

You should define it every year. (specially if you working in tech). Best if before or after large projects.

You could define two visions, one for your company itself and one for whom your company is working for.

V1: "Make our company more desirable, fun and a nice place to be""

V2: "Make facebook a friendly place for children"

Missions have a tendency to be useless and cheesy. Try to keep it close to your reality. Example: "Deploy a basecamp killer"

Be careful not to sprinkle your vision/mission with strategy or values.
Bandwidth stealing and giving credit to the photographer are not mutually exclusive.
It's a valid point, downvoters. I think that having to ask permission to link an image inline is pretty silly - the responsible thing to do would be to rehost it in some manner and then link the rehosted version.

Screwed if you do (accused of breaking "copyright"), screwed if you dont (accused of "stealing" bandwidth).
Times like this I wish I could downvote people who reply to me.

>and the strictness of the law makes it pretty clear if an argument is going to be successful or unsuccessful. Fair Use doesn't really provide that.

You can say the same thing about copyright law - both are provided for and are explicitly provided, and both are a matter of judgement.

Here's the thing: As provided in the law, fair use and copyright are on equal footing. One does not carry more weight than the other. Both "rights" exist. You can copyright something, but that does not strip other parties of their fair use rights.
they feel that they are somewhat detached from their physical selves... sort of like an observer, watchingyourself go through theday. its an odd sensation.

on another not to parent posters..... whether or not our sense of self is ongoing and inbreakable is certainly not decided or anywhere near scientific fact(yeah yeah, science only disproves, you know what i mean)...

all we can say is that we feel as if we have this continuity..... and that it apprars as if others feel the same way. memory is not like tape.... your sense of timing and events changes constantly, and what you perceive to be your unbroken, continuous sense of self and its memories is, in fact, almost universally incorrect on all kindsof things as it changes over time.... butyou (and i) will feel everything is in order. it is likely constantly teconstructed ad a survival trait.

Also look at surgical anaesthesia.... some theories on this, and subjectively i can see it, while you are under, you arent asleep...... you, your sense of self is gone, totally shut down. no dreams. no sense of how much time had passed when you wake........ not like a regular sleep whenyou at least havesome idea. it always feels like instant teleportation from the surgical suite to the recovery room, even if many hours have passed. then there arethepeople who just never come back.

we are far away from understnding consciousness... which is cool. weve batelyscratched the surface.
were just nowrealizing the brain has far more plasticity than we thought a few years ago.... its still a hugemystery.

now take general anaesthesia...... during surgeries i can recall, i was simply gone. that time was simply time i didnt exist.

That's kind of a judgement call - there's nothing wrong with a minimal interface that does what you want it to and nothing more.

Kind of like Chrome as a browser - Google's big thing with its design was minimal and out of your way, so you can focus on the web page (the reason you're running the browser in the first place).

Yeah, people are crying out for an alternative to adsense but can't get anything near it due to the amount of information Google has to target ads and the inventory size. Facebook is well placed to offer as good returns with even better targeting. Just look at the amount of targeting options you get on Facebook now, I'd take those any day to what adsense gives.
if that mimicry is indistinguishable from a human, then by definition it is as sentient as a human.... thatsthepoint.
Ask HN: How does the two weeks notice work?
After saving up for years, I'm thinking of quitting my big corporate job in a month or so to pursue working on independent projects on my own. I've never had to leave a job before, so I have no idea what I'm doing.

I hear that you're supposed to give your 2 weeks notice, but then I also read that sometimes you're treated as if you officially quit right away rather than in 2 weeks. Is this really up to the company to decide? Is this generally defined in the policy? I'd love to find out, as I'll need to know when exactly I'll be "officially out" for insurance purposes.

Any suggestions/experiences would be greatly appreciated!
It's ironic that the effect of special interests, pork, and other forms of Congressional "trolling" writing a bill in Google Docs seeks to mock come home to roost regardless.
I used to work for a company that manufactured hardware (I wrote firmware for them) and manufacturing was a constant headache and bottleneck, from getting all the parts on time to picking, placing and waving the boards with a high yield to finally assembling the end product.

Building a successful hardware business is much more difficult than building a successful software business (and thus more risk and less glamour). You have all the same problems in terms of solving a problem, finding a market, and getting traction but you have the additional problems of manufacturing, shipping and retail logistics. Those are probably more challenging to solve profitably than the shared problems.

P.S. Mad props for the companies in Asia that so reliably manufacture the computers that we use every day.
> How do you expect Flickr to differentiate from you and someone else who wants to rip off your content?

Any photographer or artist who really doesn't want their images shared should not make them available on the internet. Period. Given the capabilities of current computing platforms, there exists no method by which you can restrict redistribution.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I think it's amazing that you're the first person I've ever seen make this very obvious point, which was the first thing that popped into my head when I first started reading about REST and HATEOAS APIs (or as I would call them, navigational APIs*). It's always seemed to me that REST tutorials and evangelism ought to address this basic objection upfront, if they do have good counterarguments, but I've never seen them do so.

(A good HATEOS client would take the form of a graph navigator - this style of programming is one I associate more with "AI" than with typical web programming patterns. Which doesn't make it bad necessarily, but the REST material I've seen doesn't actually get into the navigational client programming side of things, which is the actual interesting part.)
This reminds me waaaay too much of ASP.NET's oh-so-wonderful __VIEWSTATE.
'Legalese' isn't just obfuscated English. It's very precise English designed to smoothly interface with the entire corpus of law. Since Redditors were trying to draft a bill it seems appropriate.

This has been my feeling for a long time, and I have never seen a HATEOAS proponent address it to my satisfaction. Frankly I think it is a pretty important point. Are we expecting automated consumers of a REST API to be curious and spontaneous the way human users of the web are?
As long as they hold onto their user base, that would be on the low end of what you could expect from them in terms of revenue per user. They are trending towards better targeted somewhat more invasive ads. Virtual currency hasn't really got going yet and as mentioned above people expect them to eventually offer something similar to adsense which would have a high chance of being successful because I think they hold the edge of Google in targeting data.

Of course pushing for more profit could turn off users. Google+ though is showing how hard it is right now though to make a significant dent as an opposing social network.

As long as Facebook don't do anything stupid I find it hard to see how they will be beaten with a similar model. It is more likely that something else will be built which changes the whole social networking paradigm and makes Facebook less relevant.
