Neat idea, but the current version of the document just looks like a jumble of loosely related points, somewhat like the laundry list of demands that somebody claiming to represent OWS posted on Reddit a few months ago. What does a damage cap on copyright infringement have to do with a general prohibition of censorship? Why does the document suddenly make up an arbitrary definition of derivative content? Closely related items should be placed together, but different topics should be grouped separately.

I'm also a bit skeptical about the way the document so quickly excludes "illegal data" from its purview. So much of the surveillance and censorship measures that people are worried about take place in the name of preventing and/or prosecuting illegal activity. Therefore, the scope of "illegal" must be very carefully defined in order to prevent gaping loopholes. Is downloading child porn "illegal" in the same way that uploading a copyrighted song is "illegal"? At the very least, cases involving damage claims in a civil suit should be distinguished from cases involving criminal prosecution.

Also, basing damages on the retail price of copyrighted works, multiplied by the number of copies produced, seems odd to me. If you upload 0.8% of a copyrighted file to 100 people over BitTorrent, how many copies have you produced? 0.8 copies? What if the infringed work is not on sale in the first place? What happens if you violate an open-source software license?

But I don't hang out on Reddit all that much, so maybe these apparent shortcomings have good reasons behind them?
Glad to see hardware startups getting press.

Hardware startups like these, being bound largely by physics, don't get to boast vanity metrics like traditional web-software startups. It's refreshing to see numbers that translate pretty closely to the health/viability of an early stage startup (ie Romotive reporting an increase of 6 to 26 sales per day).
Well, one, I could argue that the reason for our human consciousness is our experiences. Which a computer does not have.

Second, "just two different ways to shuttle electrons around" would hold true if information exchange was the only thing that mattered. Which could be true, but what if the actual chemical etc substances used are also important? Like how you can model audio (say, a WAV file), but you cannot model actual sound.
Google Glasses - The Last Pair You'll Ever Need?
Absolutely true. For example Ronin (1998) has much more awesome special effects than the average 201x CGI infested equivalent. I was surprised by the perceptiveness of a youngster who pointed this syndrome out to me, he recognises the superiority of movies half a generation older than the movies made for his generation.

Consciousness produces logic as a tool to use. Logic does not produce consciousness.

This statement is not proved (and maybe not provable at all, not to mention probably untrue).

Also, have you considered the possibility a THIRD factor besides logic/consciousness (like information complexity, feedback loops etc) to produce BOTH consciousness and logic?

Computers, by definition, are pure logic and rules. You can use logic to mimic consciousness, but nothing more.

Who proved that, when and how? This is just a circular (vicious) argument, especially as denoted by the "by definition" part.
They are printing a lot of money, but they are not printing $ 400 or $ 500 bills, that is what we need. About 50% of the bills in the street are $100 bills, which doesn't make sense. Printing bills with a higher denomination would be a way to officially declare that there is, indeed, inflation.

Apple Confronting a Law Of Limits
What about something concrete, like the sensation of pain? I can feel it, and everybody else can probably agree that they feel it too, even if they can't confirm that others do. How would you go about reproducing this sensation in a computer?

While your hand, say, might be physically hurt (say, it caught fire), to your brain it's only information coming in that says "now you should feel pain".

You can simulate that in a computer.

A federal judge, following orders of president Cristina Kirchner, ordered MD to remove it from the menu. They are trying to hide the inflation rate while they spend all the money from the federal reserve. Once that money is gone, the economy collapses once more. Ah, and Cristina Kirchner doesn't care what we say here, she knows very well that the people who voted for her in this past elections (54%) don't know how to read (English, of course).
Well in terms of economics what you're talking about is more specialization and niche audiences being served. HBO made itself into the network to watch smart television during the last decade. Right now that's less true as other networks figured out that people like smart things.

I'd say if you were not watching "The Wire" or "Six Feet Under" that you're missing out on something rather interesting. "The Wire" was unique partially because it was like a very long, very good movie in terms of quality and respect for the audience.

There's so much good television now that I don't have patience for the argument that TV is worthless. I don't turn on the television except to watch something specific but when I do I find the quality seems to get better year after year even with my favorite shows ending. More shows are willing to experiment and try to reach new audiences.

I won't speak to the shows on Discovery or whatever since they sound dumb to me but the shows with actual plot and characters are better than ever.
I have to believe that Dropbox is the company that will ultimately solve the television problem. A major problem with TV is that there does not exist a solution to buy once and watch anywhere. When I am one day able to buy the Walking Dead from the Dropbox market and play it from my Dropbox equipped TV, phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and in the browser on devices I don't own, I will gladly be shelling over what I currently pay for cable to Drew Houston and Co.

Since you speak of bandwidth by monthly use instead of transfer rate per second, i take it that you understand as much of the subject as phone operators.

If you sell by anything other than slicing your pipe width, you're selling more than you have. Period.
I am from a sheltered bubble: one where we enjoy engineering efficient systems, and one where I work with the smartest people in the industry.

This is how we wrote boring business software at the investment bank where I last worked, and this is how we write software at Google, where I work now. People write apps this way now because it's faster, easier, and more flexible. (For me it means I don't have to tweak UI code anymore, there are lots of people that like to do that and now they don't have to care about the backend. Just use my API!)

But sure, I believe that not everyone does this; I still maintain legacy apps too. Why rewrite millions of lines of code nobody really cares about?

But that doesn't mean you should write a new web app in 2012 like you did it in 2008. Just like we stopped writing CGI scripts when good frameworks became available.

I understand that, but for all intents and purposes people are doing REST over HTTP, when people talk about REST and it's use on the web HTTP is implied, my use of originally was definitely not the correct word choice better verbiage would be "when it started to be used by web application developers REST was". That being said They (REST and HTTP) where envisioned together, while REST does not require HTTP, for the most part that is where it is being utilized, HTTP actions being used as the semantics to transfer the representative state.

I worked with a guy that complained to me one day about taking his car to a full-service hand car wash. They did a crappy job. I asked if complained and he said it was no use, he just wasn't going to go there again...this pisses me off to no END! Fine, don't go back, but you know who gets screwed over? The next guy in line!! Go back for him, if not yourself.

It's the same reason we prosecute criminals. The dollar costs of prosecuting a petty thief is several orders of magnitude more than the stolen chocolate bar. But it has to be done.

The idea tha AT&T will learn because people are "voting with their dollar" is a joke.
May have just been an inelegantly worded way of saying "we can target people for Facebook ads on this sort of variable". Facebook doesn't have to release the "so-and-so got married" information to the advertiser, they just have to show that demographic the ads.
Agreed - if my images on flickr are set to NOT allow sharing, Flickr implementing solutions to prevent people from sharing these easily is a good thing. Attribution or not, if you've set your images to not allow sharing, sharing it expressly goes against the creators wishes.

Microsoft Aggressively Advertising CRM, But Requires Silverlight
Your rights as a content creator are limited by law, and it's unfair for content creators to use technical means to circumvent the public's right to their content.

(I say this as an author of one of those dead-tree things, and of much software. I'd like people to follow my license agreement, but some in some cases copyright law grants my users more rights than the license, and I respect that.)
> Censorship is only permitted if content is found to be illegal content in accordance with this treaty.

> All false information stored to misguide, scam, cause damage, trap users financially, or mutilate collateral are illegal content.

The italicized text concerns me. Not because there's anything wrong with it, but because I can easily imagine an unscrupulous politician claiming (for instance) that arguments critical of government economic policy are "false" and are intended to "misguide" and "cause damage" to the economy and well-being of the nation.

The Constitution of the United States has been rendered effectively worthless by this very tactic—a couple of its clauses are routinely used to justify anything, because of their less-than-specific wording.

I suspect documents like this are a symptom of the cure rather than the cure itself. They can only be enacted—and can only continue to serve their purpose—as long as the citizens and their politicians support the documents' causes.
Does the law of large numbers really apply here? We aren't estimating the mean of a bunch of independent events sampled from one distribution.

Apple doing very well strengthens its brand, enables it to get the benefits of economies of scale, allows it to pay for better talent, etc. There are all kinds of correlative effects of doing well now to doing well in the future.

Of course, it very well might be saturating the markets for luxury consumer devices. But the LLN says nothing about and has nothing to do with saturation.
Wow! I had no idea. That's an interesting business decision on their part...

It sounds like you are in a "funk" from your personal life and it's spilling over into your professional life.

What I am trying to say is...let's add a little excitement back into your personal life and see what happens.
i can completely relate. it is a legit challenge to describe advertising-funded media. there was once a concept of an editorial firewall, which seems cute in an antique sense of the word, possibly believable circa 1971. advertising, for one reason or another, seems to have the effect of shaping whatever it funds towards a decreased intellectual stimulus, ie lower curiosity. there's something to think about with respect to Super Bowl ads being the most valuable on TV.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Plantronics and their model 995H. They are wireless, double as a mic, have great sound quality and have controls for audio playback. $100 at the official site and I'm sure cheaper somewhere else.

I spent some serious time researching this topic last year and for the money this set was by far the best option. For the money, they are the best.

Wireless with built-in mic wins FTW. They aren't a set for audiophiles but the sound quality is excellent.

While the article is devoid of anything that resembles proof of the assertion I do not believe that it is true. Being left handed I would agree that it confers some advantage, there is a common belief that left handers are natural born leaders, I think there may be some truth to that. The theory goes that because they are south paws the won more in combat and therefore attained leadership roles those that where good leaders passed on the trait. History does seem to be skewed in favor of left handed leaders but it is just corollary at best.

Anyways, I do being that left handedness confers some intelectual capacity hence the IQ test but I think more that anything we think entirely foreign to right handers and I think this is why left handers seem to make intellectual leaps, not because they are smarter but because they mentally process the problem very different.

Anyone that follows my post knows that I am very vocal about whiteboard tests for programmers and the difference in how left handers think has a lot to do with my view point on whiteboard test. I think they filter out left handers by the very nature of how they are set up which is very much how a right hander thinks.

A buddy and I got in to a discussion about how I solve tough problems and I said well I close my eyes or go for a walk and I dream about it. He looked at me puzzled and said you just dream it up? and I said yes it seemed so foreign to him but to a left hander it will sound very familiar. We hand off problems to the creative processing center of our brain and it deals with it.

It is very different that the analytical part of the brain that sequentially breaks down an issue. Here is the deal though that dreaming, cannot be rushed, it comes when it comes and if someone cannot focus due to the environment say an interview one cannot activate the creative part of their brain. Hence I think the whiteboard in interview filters out the most creative individuals.
What? They disabled Pinterest on ALL images which are not in the public domain? Sheesh, might as well drop the feature altogether if you're going to disable it on 99.9% of content.

Oh, you mean they allowed copyright owners to disable Pinterest on their images. That makes more sense.

Sorry, it just gets my goose when people misuse the word "copyrighted" this way.
I think you are reading into my comments. I believe there are many great european products!! I would like to help get the word out that there are good startup incubators in europe.

These are some great links. You lost me on the first couple (startupbootcamp is a two day conference) (seedcamp is a good company,but not a startup incubator)

I had not heard of Hackfwd and springboard. Both look to be the real deal. I'm excited to see innovation in every city and nation.

In America these are a couple of the good ones:

It will not run out of gas. But it can - and will - get damaged if sitting unattended for too long.

It might be the tires (check your owner's manual!), it might be the AC (again, manual - it should be turned on from time to time), you might now notice a strange smoke due to new oil leaks inside the combustion chamber, it might make horrible noises for a couple of seconds (because the oil drained to the bottom of the engine), etc, etc.

Hell, last extended trip we went on, we had someone to start the engines (and the damn AC) for a few minutes at least every week. It is just good practice.

If indeed the battery management system on a Tesla is able to keep the batteries alive for months at 0% reported charge, then it is a non-issue. Noone is going to leave such a car unattended for months, really. Specially if it is a Roadster.

How to pin blocked content to Pinterest
Well, basically, in the case of prose in version control, you don't want automatic merges for anything more than simple grammar or punctuation. Other than that, there's not really that much different.
Are you implying that the public has a right to share content by law, regardless of the content creators wishes?
And also people who somehow know that a UI without colors (or some other moronic, one-size-fits-all idea) is a good thing for every other user on Earth, for ever and ever, Amen.
How do you expect Flickr to differentiate from you and someone else who wants to rip off your content?
At the same time it solves a collaboration issue that is limited to always online services like Google Docs.

I remember my distributed computing professor checking out his LaTeX paper from a Subversion repo that had something like 2000+ commits between himself and other collaborators.
So you bring up some good points, I admit I am a little saddened to see my comment downvoted though and hope to clear a few things up. First the point I was making was about my experience, I understand I do not have deep functional programming experience. I don't perceive Python as being better than functional languages for functional programming, but rather I see it as offering the good functional qualities I personally have seen while still being good at other paradigms, I imagine if you desire pure functional programming it probably does not stack up to pure functional languages.

My experience is an AI class in Lisp and TA-ing a class that taught students Scheme and a lot of Python experience, so you are right, perhaps I should check out Haskell or ML for better readability. Although I think Python discourages functional programming itself, from what I've seen it heavily encourages functional features, between lambda functions, functions as first class objects, and list comprehension which offers mapping, filtering, and reducing. I know there are other functional features that I haven't been exposed to, but as far as the techniques taught at a college level class, I feel Python incorporates functional features beautifully, and I now find myself using functions as objects, lambdas, mapping, filtering, and reducing nearly every day I program. I know the "pure-ness" of functional languages isn't there as Python encourages side effects, but as far as giving average programmers functional power while maintaining readability, I like Python's adaptation of functional techniques.
Power Point Slide Design: Slide Background For PowerPoints
The upcoming "Hopper" DVR from Dish Network solves this problem in an ingenious way.

They have a feature called "Primetime Anytime" that records the entirety of primetime (8-11pm) programming on the 4 major broadcast networks (NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS) for the last 8 days.

That means you can turn on your DVR and watch anything that aired in primetime in the last week.

The way they achieve this is by silently recording the networks in the background. The DVR has a 2TB hard drive, of which about 500GB is allocated to this feature, I believe.

(Note that doing it this way also absolves Dish of having to negotiate with the networks a la Hulu.)
