Copy, Paste, Remix: Digital Tricks That Originated on the Printed Page
"why not iPad 3? Seriously!"

The video shown at the end of the announcement event has an Apple employee referring to it as "the third-generation iPad".

This seems very strange to me, considering how on-message Apple has ALWAYS been in the past. It's just... sloppy.

I wonder if Apple has a future beyond its current momentum. I'll be convinced otherwise ifwhen they release another world-changing product that wasn't invented by Steve.

What about the ability to look at API responses in a browser? You can't normally change the request headers a browser sends without some type of plugin.

Including the version number in the URL gets around this and even allows you to test API responses in mobile browsers if needed.

Although I tend to agree that a header-based approach is cleaner and more in the spirit of REST and even HTTP.
The contracts are for the devices, not you. It is possible to use them both at the same time, so ATT wants your money.

They were added in February or March 2011. I don't record specifics as to why, but they all follow the same pattern - a useless content free email where it is obvious they have made no attempt to see if I am good match or the company is, despite the ease with which they could do that. The messages are usually almost indistinguishable from spam. They have to be pretty egregiously bad that I never want to hear from the recruiter ever again under any circumstances!

Sure, but worrying about "expected time to human extinction" doesn't make for nearly as good a headline.
Wonder how many are willing to upgrade from Ipad 2? I have an Ipad 2, I don't see a need to upgrade.

I am sure the tablet devices will follow a similar cycle as iPhone. Upgrade once in 2 years. I am beginning to wonder, the only aspects that might make me want to upgrade to IPad 4 next year, could be faster processor and more memory, thus making the overall experience better. I am sure Apple will have some exclusive software that will run only on their latest device (ex: Siri), that might force me to upgrade. Given how I use the Ipad right now - Videos, Netflix and eBooks (very limited browsing), I am ok with what I have now.

Will be good to know some statistics on how many upgraded to Ipad 2 from Ipad 1.
It seems like there is an easy solution, just never post something on the web in a format you wouldn't be ok with others using without. Post 800x600 images with a contact me link, or put your name/contact on the picture so that it is attractive but still a little bit annoying, etc.

It was for our competition with the theme "Rotary". We didn't really consider the nauseating effects of this theme!
At first I was a little irritated at the article's style and how it holds back the truth for a few pages, but the truth of this story turns out to be absolutely fascinating stuff. A quote:

"Cheerleaders frequently come up in case histories of mass psychogenic illness at schools, partly because psychogenic outbreaks often start with someone of high social status. But it might also be that their enviable unity is what makes them more susceptible. In 2002, 10 students, 5 of them cheerleaders, in a rural town in North Carolina suffered from nonepileptic seizures and fainting spells. In 1952, the Associated Press reported that 165 members of the Tigerettes cheerleading squad from Monroe, La., fainted before halftime at a high-school football game in nearby Natchez, Miss."

I would love to hear someone try to speculate on an evolutionary reason for this kind of behaviour. What kind of advantage might this sort of thing have given humans in the past?
Hah! i read The Calorie Man two days ago and I was thinking of it as I was reading this thread.
"It's not hard" is not good enough.

There are many capable coders that don't even know where to start. "Pick your favorite open-source app"? Not everyone has a favorite open-source app. Not all apps worth helping are open-source. With thousands of projects to pick from it's easy to get overwhelmed. "And help them out"? What kind of help do they need? Am I capable of helping them? Will it be interesting for me? Who do I talk to and what should I say? How do I submit my changes? How do I make sure my help is in line with their vision? Tons of questions. Yes, a smart person should be able to figure all this out, but there's a lot of friction involved - especially for something that you do for free in your spare time. There definitely is room for improving the process.

It shouldn't be "not that hard", it should be be dead simple.
No friends. You had 2 'specials' and a tip. I'm sure a lot of people check in there just due to volume, but volume strikes me as a questionable signal for an 'explore' feature - if everyone already knows it, I probably already know it too. I understand it's a tough problem, but it just looked like an unmarked paid result.
It's simple:

- unlimited data plans were doled out when network operators knew full well that people couldn't actually use enough data to cause a crisis.

- Data usage spiked because people found new uses for phones which demanded more and more data (e.g. streaming shows)

- Operators found themselves underdeveloped with no prospect of demand tapering off

- At these levels, it maximizes the operator's profits to push people into rate-limited plans.
We could totally survive any climate change that we've ever seen in the geological record. Even if famine claims billions of lives, it wouldn't be a species-ending event. Bostrom is worried about things that have considerably more destructive potential.

Haha... yea... so I looked at the API for like 2 mins then the code examples... and was trying to find the justification for the 'We provide you with hosted, secure, reliable, and scalable APIs' part... all I saw was a msging api... so I started thinking all deep like... is there some other part that generically talks to any api... and this is some architecture that organizes the other apis... like 'channels' & 'messages'... hahaha... then I was like... the hell... and RTFCs.

XD

Perhaps, if you plan on other APIs that's cool but give indication that this is just one... give it an icon or something... and then a 'coming soon' icon... group 'em up in a section called APIs.

> They're suing because you (allegedly) used some unsolicited advice they gave you?

You seem to be confusing the American legal system with justice and it being free to innocent parties!

The recruiter will claim they sent the candidate details and represented the candidate and now you owe them. If you don't they will take you to court. It will cost the innocent company a fair bit of cash to defend even though they are in the right. So faced with a bill from a scummy recruiter for $10,000 or potential legal costs (not to mention time) of $25,000 they end up picking the former.

The same kind of crap goes on with domain names where squatters will set their price a little below that of following the legal route to get your domain. You either pay them in order to get the domain right now, or you spend several months and even more in legal fees in order to get it via the ICANN rules.

This was a totally unexpected, and yet perfectly appropriate response to the parent comment. I hope unoti takes this invaluable advice to heart.
A week or two ago I got a LinkedIn friend request from a recruiter who used the message to tell me about how I should get in touch with him.

He clearly used the friend request mechanism to skirt around the LinkedIn rules about having to pay to send recruiter mails. I can't imagine how else he would try to cut corners or sell people out to save himself a buck.
Potential Tax penalties for Expats

Normally, tax penalties are based on any revenue not declared. But in this case, it's based on the value of the assets and the penalties are huge and cumulative.

Well, they care about the attention and spotlight. Doing good things is secondary or not in your goal at all.

It's all about signaling unless you are seriously genuinely interested in improving humanity's lot, not just feeling good for doing something good. (One way to test that is to do anonymously random act of kindness without being recongnized by the public or anyone)

Thanks. This is good advice.

May I ask what you thought of the messaging service or what APIs you'd like to see next?
They could and I'm not a lawyer but I'd guess there's a legal reason for it in terms of liability or they're somehow making a profit through that clause. Either way, you don't have to post anything to Pinterest and you have a way to get your content taken down via DMCA.

I read a lot of comments like this and I always wonder why it always sounds like someone is forcing you to put your content on their site. No one is obligated to post anything to any website. There are a lot of ways to put your works online and not give up your ownership. If you don't like one site's policy on this then there are plenty of others. Pinterest is free. No one is entitled to tell them how to run their business just the same as they can't force you to use it. I feel like this is lost on a lot of people. I'm just 25 but I feel old, like somehow the generation just behind me and maybe my generation too see websites like Facebook and Google and Pinterest as services that we are somehow entitled to and should be able to control without ever paying a dime. Nothing in this life is free. If you get something for nothing, take a look around. You're probably paying in some form that isn't monetary.

Likewise. Although, looking at the examples made me even more confused: I was expecting to see some code examples showing how I'd actually go about using/accessing the API. But it just showed me an app, which could have been built using a large number of technologies in a large number of ways.

One phrase comes to mind after reading this: "so what." It's not about what the terms say, it's about how they're enforced. I don't see any users getting sued, just a bunch of stories on how you could potentially get sued.
What you said reminded me of an old saying. It goes something like this.

"If you owe the bank $10,000 and can't pay you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100,000,000 and can't pay the bank has a problem".

Size matters.
If you're handling a lot of data it make sense to hash-partition it on some key and spread it out to a large number of files.

In that case you might have, say, 512 partitions and you can farm out compression, decompression and other tasks to as many CPUs as you want, even other machines in a cluster.

> 3. Incubators aren’t thinking big enough. ... If you want to build something really big, May says, “three programmers and $50K isn’t going to get you very far.” He appreciates lean startups as much as anyone, but when it comes to disrupting big industries and building big companies, you need time and capital.

Well...

HARD: finding a product that has very good product-market fit and has the possibility to be a huge company.

EASY (at least relatively): raising money when you've got a product with great product-market fit.

Three programmers and $50k isn't meant to make you become a big company. It's meant to allow you to experiment with ideas to see if it gets traction, to determine whether it's a big company or not. If it is, then the big bills can come out to make it a big company.

Maybe incubators aren't thinking big in the sense that they're sinking $10 million into an idea that might have dubious traction, but they are thinking pragmatically.

Experiences in writing and distributing free software for a fee?
The FSF has long said that the "right to sell software" is an essential freedom, and "Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise funds for development. Don't waste it!"

I am thinking of going that route. That is, I would "sell"/charge a fee for access to my software under the BSD/MIT license; those who want it for no cost will be under a non-free license. However, I know of precious few companies which have done that. Most free software providers also make the source code available at no cost.

Can people point to examples of companies - preferably small companies which write their own software - which provide free software for a fee? (Other than RedHat.) What are the pros and cons? Is there much negative reaction to the idea?

My clients are pharmaceutical and biotech companies, who have no interest in redistributing any software they acquire, so I'm not really concerned about others immediately picking it up and reselling it, or incorporating it into other (non-free) products, or giving it away for free; to say nothing of providing support.

There aren't that many people in computational chemistry, and so it's rare to get code contributions from anyone else, so I'm not concerned about excluding possible involvement from others. While on the other hand, companies have money to pay for very expensive software.

Overall it seems like distributing free software for a fee is a great way to get money to fund a project - why don't more people do it?

Let's get a real database
My ideal distribution would be somewhat of a meta distribution allowing from source (meaning git, svn) control as well as binary installation. These are a few idea's I've had regarding this:

* Parse build systems such as configure.in, Tupfile.. for options and dependencies and use simple machine learning for classification of options

* Use some sort of locality sensitive hashing to sort packages thus easy to categorize without arbitrary naming

* Meta framework allowing for building different package formats such as rpm, deb..etc.

* Quality control as well as PGO and such via rspec (or something as malleable).

Gentoo or Exherbo do all by hand and in shell which becomes time consuming and incredibly brittle. All this could easily be broken down into individual parts.
A spoiler would be hugely appreciated.
