As far as I can see, they have still a lot of value in the direction/navigation infrastructure and places directory (which is where foursquare actually compete with google).
Political discussions are usually polarised, and thus they start with pointless bickering and end with ranting flame-fests. People tend to enter the discussion knowing what they think, with little to no chance for changing their minds.

There are very many places where such discussions are welcome.

Which makes sense. An infringing use in one case may be legitimate in an another. For instance, you upload a song you created to share with a friend. Someone else uploads it again - due to deduping, both links point to the same file. In the first case, not infringing in the second infringing.
While I think the permissions model on android can and should be improved, isn't it weird that this stuff is being put on Apple and Google's shoulders?

Every single application you have on your laptop or desktop could find and steal your pictures as well, but we would call this malware.

But when it happens on phones, who make it much harder to do than on desktops, then the majority of blame goes to the phonemaker. I find that odd, but at the same time more likely to encourage a solution I suppose.

The consensus opinion seems to be that app makers are all ethically retarded and will just take whatever they can get their virtual hands on. Seems like a good attitude to have from a security perspective but that normally also comes with contempt or at least distain for the thieves.

Now we have a situation where the distain is towards Google and Apple for allowing this to be possible and the app makers couldn't possibly be expected not to steal personal data from their users.
not fast enough.
Theoretically.

Practically? Probably not. They'd need to realize what the codes were and have some way to communicate with the station.

It's possible there's software on the laptop for that, but it would go through a central server connected to the satellite dishes/antennas, and was probably locked out when it went missing.
I come from the opposite direction, where I was thinking too much. In the sense that I am quiet in most conversations, because I need to think about what to say back, and most conversations flow quite quickly, and I end up with a response well past the point it's applicable.

This is bad for two reasons:
1, if you don't say anything, the default assumption is you don't know anything, unless you have well known achievement in the field. Now your peers will eventually learn what you know, maybe even more than they do, but it takes time, and modern life is fast;

2, you don't have to be wise/correct/knowledgeable in all conversations, especially casual ones where people are just shooting the stars and will forget what was talked the next day.

The real tricky thing, the thing that distinguishes a <i>wise</i> man, is to know when to speak like a fool, and when to dive into deep thinking, and when to shut up.

I'm also learning iOS and plan to have my second app on the store very soon now, and would be thrilled to have some iOS work that I could exercise the things I am learning on.
In Chicago at least it's common for a cab driver to claim that the credit card machine is not working in an attempt to force people to pay cash. I couldn't tell you how many arguments I've gotten into with drivers over this.

Fortunately, the city requires the vast majority of cabs to be able to take credit to be allowed to pick up a fare. It's amazing how many times reminding the driver about this has made the machine start working...
It is not stealing. This is well established. Stop using hyperbolic language to hysterically whine and force your moralistic crap down our throats

1) Hyperbolic 2) hysterically 3) whine 4)force 5) crap 6) down our throats.

All because he used a common word, that laymen use all the time with respect to copyright infringement, and that even lawyers and judges are known to use occasionally.

Who is hysterical, again?

Not only is the term used extensibly, including by the FBI ( http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/cyber/ipr/ipr ), but also in the US legal code, "Criminal infringement of a copyright" is a subcategory of "Chapter 113: Stolen property" ( http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/113 ). So, your pedantic distinction only matters inside a court room, and under very rigid circumstances (for example, lawyers argue all the time using the word "theft" for the issue). Outside of the court room, anyone can use any word he damn pleases, and lots of people choose to use stealing to describe C.I. Moreover, this is not an American issue only, and other languages and legislations make no such distinction against "copyright infringement" and "stealing".

3. Whether Kim is breaking a law or not is not the point of this dicussion (another strawman here): the discussion is does the (il)leagailty of it make sense?

And who exactly are you to define what the exact "point of this discussion" is? The point of the discussion is whatever is relevant to the issue, and both questions are relevant, as are many more.

4. Amazing improbable thinking does not grant one rights to someone else's pocketbook. Much like people should pay for stuff, by the same token, saying they should then suing them for actions they didn't and may never have taken is absurd. I should get paid $1 per read of this comment, there HN readers owe me a few $K.

If you made your comment available only on a per pay basis, on your own platform, you absolutely should. But since you don't control HN and neither it's a pay site, so you don't have the option to do so.

5. Wow, I really fed this troll didn't I?

No, you trolled on your own.
Why exactly wouldn't you know? Couldn't you see who shared them, how they were shared and pretty much know? Or at least know enough to send an email or something to find out. A private backup that is only accessed by one customer could sanely be considered a backup, a link that has been downloaded 10,000 times by lot's of users of the exact same content, what should that sanely be considered?

What is the proper legal solution to this problem? Just "fuck 'em" and the lawyers search and write letters for each and every copy?

Are you trying to claim that all Palestinians are terrorists, and there is not a single innocent person amongst them?

I don't think the guy is that pretentious. He's talking about the Rails guys he works with. He's basically saying that he got into the wrong program realizing later that he was a designer at heart. So, of course he's going to use cliches about a field he knows only from people at work. I don't think his intentions were to be arrogant at all and how many people have a picture of themselves on their blog.eh... almost everybody!
This morning I was trying to use Potlach to extend a street around a corner and end it in a cul-de-sac. I was able to get the street to curve around, but I couldn't really figure out how to make it end in a little neat circle like all the other streets around here. And I couldn't figure out the way splitting and joining. I had lots of problems with trying to move around, and also I got "stuck" in draw mode, so I would end up with road paths that went all over the place, then I had to go back and delete them. Maybe my mind is just too used to programs like Adobe Illustrator.

I might try some more editing later -- my first few impressions of it were just that it was too hard to use.

Haven't done any work (yet) on a mobile interface. I think it would scale down pretty well by simply cutting out the sidebars past a certain screen size threshhold (via media queries), and making them dropdowns or something at the top. I'm not a designer though, so making that look good is the challenge.
Those are "first world problems" of the first order.

The sense of entitlement and the notion of "harm" contained in the above comment is just unbelievable.

How about real bloody issues, like being the only kid in highschool who's parents can't afford medical coverage? Or sending him to college?
I don't see anything about the language though that would make it significantly faster to compile than Java... it seems to be a matter of development priorities for the implementation teams. (Dev mode can be pretty fast in my experience though, depending on the browser. For some reason there seems to be major performance issues with Chrome but not Firefox.) If the effort that went into building Dartium had simply gone into building a custom VM for GWT, couldn't we have achieved the same thing, but without the fragmentation? Perhaps Oracle's lawsuits are playing a role here.

Silence is the ultimate wisdom. I just proved I'm a fool by even mentioning it.
So the difficulty ramps up like this: it goes from 1 to 100 every 60 seconds, spawning more difficult enemies as it increases. The difficulty increases faster the more damage you've taken. Once it reaches 100, it spawns dragons, resets to 0 and doubles the amount of monsters it will spawn.

You can reset the difficulty manually by working your way up the weapon tree to the RUNEFORGE (purple sword)!

Glad it was still fun despite your frustration :-)

Going to throw in the expected rebuttal: When was the last time someone did a major CSS overhaul without changing HTML?

In any case, for someone developing with a framework, they're already mucking about with templates, in which editing the classes is trivial to alter.
If the study is true, 20% is huge (assuming you meant to write: "20% of an albums piracy displaces sales").
Any plans for an intern tab? That would be pretty useful :)
Might want to add / in the shortcuts to go in the search. Good initiative!

True perhaps, but that's because lots of people write poor-quality HTML. By following best practices like this, it becomes much less necessary to overhaul your HTML during a design change.

Etsy is the global handmade marketplace. Our mission is to empower people to change the way the global economy works. We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship and provenance as much as price and convenience. We are bringing heart to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun.
Cognitive dissonance. Deep down, people know what they're doing is wrong, but don't want to admit it. The same reasoning that allows them to perceive that they're not doing anything wrong has to be applied to guys like Kim Dotcom; otherwise, they have to admit they're doing something wrong.
What is it you specifically want to see? "make some experiences" is a bit vague to respond to, and the internet is loaded with videos and hands-on articles.

How to plot high frequency data in R
Congrats on the launch! I love the UI and set-up process, it's very smooth.
I believe that only a few dozen computer/systems/process patents are causing trouble because of reasons that could be arguably attributed to 'sloppiness' on the part of the examiner. That is: too-broad patents, patents granted despite prior art, etc.

I'm not counting any undesirable patents that are causing problems because patent terms are too long, or those that were granted because patent law/precedent/policy didn't give the examiner any cause to reject it, etc.

My point is only to refute the charge that examiners 'sloppiness' is common and/or a notable problem.

I think you're looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Sure this blog is marketing. All blogs serve at least a partial marketing purpose, whether they be from individual software developers, small businesses, big companies, or nonprofits. The difference is that "good blogs" are ones where I can extract value from the post. Signal vs Noise is one of these blogs.

I don't understand your complaint at it's core. Are you upset that multimillionaires are sharing their key decision points, advice, and retrospectives in exchange for promotion? Most people charge for such disclosure, and highly so[0]. We're lucky that the culture and technology of the web has torn down this glass ceiling access to insight.

Just look at the forum we're discussing this in -- new.ycombinator.com -- if you're anti marketing, you may not want to raise issue within a forum owned and run by an extremely active investment fund

Contextual gadgets are pretty limited. If you want to get started in Gmail the best way I recommend is to use James Yu's excellent Gmailr (https://github.com/jamesyu/gmailr).

Windows back-compatibility support has its limits these days. The advertised vehicle for old enterprise XP apps that you just can't upgrade is "Windows XP Mode" (duckduckgo it), which is XP itself running under Virtual PC. (Yes, "well behaved" XP apps are supposed to be able to run on Windows 7 natively, but the mere existence of this other thing is a concession that many apps of interest are not that well behaved.)

The same strategy could be used to maintain back-compatibility across much more drastic transitions, if they were of a mood to make them.

Not to be negative, but what does this have that couldn't be done better with ZNC and a proper IRC client? I get a persistent connection to the IRC server, logs and push notifications to my phone when I'm not connected or paying attention, and I can connect from as any IRC client I want to, or connect from multiple clients simultaneously. [1] Granted, the web client does look really really nice, but as a whole it seems like an inferior solution to me.

I would really love to see that web client made so that it could connect to any server or bouncer, and not just your own proprietary backend.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE mostly, possibly Ann Arbor, MI or Boston in the near future.

Looking for part-time remote work. Generally experienced with Java, Python, C; have done mostly backend work with some iOS and Android development. Big fan of interesting algorithms (image processing, computer vision, statistics, simulation, you name it) in any language. Also happy with more 'esoteric' languages (OCaml? Lisp(s)? Matlab?). Also experienced with Linux system administration/networking (Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch) and perfectly comfortable in a command-line environment (zsh! ..or bash, I guess ;).
The URL with a trailing slash redirects to a 404. Presumably tmobile feels they're providing a more useful result, and monetizing it. If my ISP did this I would use a proxy.
This was the strategy that they with Schmidt. Page changed it and shut down a lot of products to focus on the company core. The shotgun approach seldom works in business. It is better to develop and nurture cash cows.

Personally, I think that they should focus in the search field to stay ahead of the curve and prevent a competitor from introducing an iPhone caliber product that would make them look myopic like Blackberry. They used to claim that search was a 99% solved problem. I don't think that me looking to a list of blue links is 99% solved problem.
I mean there are two t (0th March and Feb 29th) that print as Feb 29 (so any user seeing the value of those t may rightly assume they are the same), but for one t one month earlier is Jan 31, while for the other t one month earlier is Jan 29.

Of course, internally, all is correct, but for the user, things may behave strangely.
