"wising up to the antics of the recording and motion picture industries"

Neither the RIAA or the MPAA are involved in the bittorrent lawsuits. The big lawsuit that really kicked it off was over The Hurt Locker, which isn't an MPAA-affiliated movie. It was kick-started by a lawyer named Thomas Dunlap, who worked out the idea with Uwe Boll for his shitty movies. The RIAA stopped going after file-sharers when its lead attorney, Donald Verrilli, was appointed by Obama to be Solicitor General. That alone was more than they wanted.

All of these mass lawsuits are the idea of small, sometimes desperate lawyers, not content providers or publishers. Most of the lawsuits, including the one in this article, are over porn downloads; porn is obviously not an MPAA endpoint.
USAA's iPhone check deposit works great. It take about two minutes total to take the photos and submit a check – and have the balance available in my account. The one time I mistyped a number took a 10-minute call to resolve. USAA's website and app could use some UI improvements, but the functionality is there.

You do have to have some sort of military connection to become a member of USAA. Link: https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/pub_eligibility_task_entry
I cannot even believe that there are people who agree with this moron. First of all, he's chasing an ideal that's not even THAT valid: not all of the crappy-written software is knowledge, not all source code is worth reading. Plus, proprietary software improves industry. Industry feeds people.

Not to mention, in today's world, it is impossible to live without depending on corporations. The only way to live without someone knowing a lot about you is to live in a cave, miles away from civilization.

The way he is using computers: he is just putting restrictions on himself, thinking he actually removes them.

The only thing I agree with here is his opinion about Lisp.
25+ Free and Premium Email Newsletter Templates and Layouts
The email newsletter template and layout should match the pattern of your business. These newsletter templates must have exclusivity in design to capture the viewers.
I'm actually mocking up a recommendation engine at the moment, and this certainly gives me a lot to think about.

For example, I should probably be planning for more future dimensions (ratings, metadata, etc.) so I can manipulate their interactions in a much more elegant way as we add new data, rather than trying to manually flatten everything out (combining metadata and ratings into a score for each item, then calculating compatibility) for every possible combination, which seems like a much less computationally expensive approach. I probably just need to always keep every scrap of data we get, then find the right ways to combine the data into a score with one routine, and compare the scores to calculate compatibility with another. The hard part is figuring out how the score should be calculated (I'll get to that in the morning).

Seems like this rabbit hole goes pretty deep...

And exactly what does he pay bank fees for if not for the bank to setup ATMs and such to enable him access to his cash. He could keep his cash under his mattress, but chooses not to instead of just admitting cash under a mattress is too inconvenient and that he's rather pay his bank to setup ATMs with non-free software for his benefit.

Skype is an exception but the PSTN is not? This is intellectual BS to the highest degree for RMS to maintain his hoity toity attitude instead of just admitting that it's too inconvenient for even RMS to live the life that RMS preaches. RMS uses A LOT of non-free software by choice when he could choose not too.

Whatever RMS does is pro-freedom, but when I run OS X I'm supporting fascism.

It's a bunch of holier than thou (for christ sakes the guy thinks he's St. Ignutious) assholes making up rules so they can pretend they're better than the rest of us. When you point out how they don't really give a shit about the principles which they shove down your throat they then make exceptions miles wide to avoid looking like the pretentious assholes they are.
If you're writing to do lists after Y Combinator, you're probably writing them before too - which means you're already ahead of a lot of people (motivationally speaking).
I read that post with interest. It certainly makes some good points. the typo example, certainly.

However; in my experience, certain things do automatically mark out a cv as a poor fit - one of which is "too flashy". This is born out of originally giving everyone a read/shot and finding the flashy ones were, every time, not so good.

I dont agree it is a black box btw; if you do a little googling the advice is fairly standard - keep it to 2 pages, keep it clean and readable, 12pt font.

The idea of fitting a standard model is a good one; making the recruiters life easy is a good thing, and a different looking CV can interrupt your workflow.

Thanks for the honest criticism. I mostly agree and a video demo is in the works, although a full dummy demo would divert considerable resources away from developing the product at this stage.
I would not do it. The last time I saw/used Sharepoint (I had a 2-day sharepoint user training ~9 months ago) I was really unimpressed.

Don't get me wrong, managing documents with Sharepoint works. Somewhat. But all the web stuff seemed really half assed to me. The Wiki doesn't work, building pages and sites is PITA and search does not work out of the box (and as far as I can remember you need an expensive add on to make it really work).

I think they also told us that developing for/with sharepoint can be quite tricky and upgrades to newer sharepoint versions can cause problems - But I am not sure If I remeber that correctly.

Even if everything above worked find, I don't think it is a good idea to create a MVP with a tool like Sharepoint, which has it's own (quite inflexible) way of doing things and forces you into certain processes. You should really be able to iterate fast and create exactly what you want, and not be constrained by the structure, process and templates of a (huge, hairy) tool when building a MVP.
It's like it was still 1980 around him. To me, freedom also includes choosing what I feel like and what I desire, and allowing myself to move with the times rather than against, instead of fooling myself that I strike a blow for freedom by tethering myself to the floor in every single question. All he does is putting restrictions on himself (and in the process also on other people who blindly follow his fundamentalism) rather than removing restrictions and bonds. But that's just me and where I draw my line.
You are bound to viewing the document in a browser. This may not be a problem in most cases, but console users cannot see them.
There is also a large overhead in the amount of code that needs to be written to position and scale everything. For example, what if I wanted to add another line?
Finally, because it's text, it's easy to move around. To build the site, I just copied some text out of some of the files I already had and stuck it where it needed to go. How would I have done it if it was a canvas element?
Thank you Jonny you bring up some valid clarifications.

Still is interesting to see that times are-a changin' and it appears that the courts are now starting to realize that.
Run away, fast.
I see. So you were going for some sort of indirect reductio ad absurdum argument. Not without merit, but it will go over people's heads 99.99% of the time and not because they are all idiots.
Was a recording engineer too and stopped because it broke my ability to sit down and appreciate listening to music: I had to analyse it "professionally". Mick Jagger said once he would only listen to classic on the radio. I can believe that. In some areas of human creation being an amateur is necessary. A simple example: China has an enormous corpus of classical painting and poetry, no part of it has been created by professionals.

Add: to me writing code is an activity that can be enjoyed professionally, unlike music.
Let me just paraphrase your words the same way you've paraphrased Stallman: "If something is hard, don't try it! And if you try it: You're a moron!"

You may note that this doesn't accurately reflect your words. That's the risk of paraphrasing without context and argumentation.
I listened to a talk he gave a few years ago and he started by going "Please turn off your global tracking devices." or something of that sort. People laughed but come to think of it, I don't think he was only joking.
Thanks for the feedback. Can I ask what you would suggest as an alternative for people wanting to try the product? Our app is useless without access to the AWS APIs, and although IAM credentials could be created (as people below have), for the app to be fully functional it would require near full access permissions anyway.

We definitely need to give more before users have to enter their credentials, like a tutorial and demo video which are in the works, but as far as actually using the product, I don't see a way around it.

As noted below, this is actually very common. RightScale, Scalr, OpDemand, NewVem, and all other AWS third party tools require this information.

Not trying to say you are wrong, you're not, it's rightfully a big concern for people, but unless AWS change the way their APIs work, what are we supposed to do?
I've only read a few writings by Richard Stallman. It seems plain to me that he is an egomaniac with some kind of rigid obsessional thinking patterns. People like this are very annoying, and ironically undermine their own case if they intend to persuade others of their views.

The willingness with which he labels the practices of large swaths of the population (of the US) "unethical" would be very disturbing if he was a political leader with significant power.

Oddly, the patterns I see evidenced in his writings (that I have read) remind me of the thinking used to justify totalitarian states!

I think his views on his core issue of the badness of copyrighted software are not well thought out and absurd on their face. He makes a point of pointing out that the copyright laws are arbitrary, they are not some kind of natural right. One of his main arguments is that making a copy of a digital good does not destroy the usefulness of the original, or harm the person who has it in his "possession."

What he is apparently oblivious to is that a system of laws is entirely a social construct. It contains huge amounts of arbitrariness. The whole concept of property is extremely abstract, unless you consider it in some kind of caveman scenario. "It is wrong to take this food that a person has in their hands because then they will be deprived of the ability to eat it." As far as I can tell that's how he thinks about property.

I think a lot of his confusion is because he is an absolutist. He thinks laws should be "ethical." There is certainly an overlap between law and morality. But there are major areas of disunion.

IMO, the ability to accept ambiguity in the areas of law, ethics, and personal conduct is needed to keep society humane.

Just writing this to think through my thoughts. I usually try to not be judgmental of others being a fallible human, but I make exception in cases of people who have chosen a career as self appointed judges of their fellows.
Sorry, I tried to get a balance between showing what we currently support and what we are working towards on the homepage, not sure if I got it right.

RDS support is coming soon (approximately one month) and ELB support to be added shortly after that. AutoScaling and Availability Zones are both high priority, but we have very limited resources and I can't commit to a timeframe at the moment.

Thanks for creating IAM credentials and trying us out. If you have any suggestions on how to improved credential handling, please let me know.
By asking a question in the negative form ("don't you think...") you are implicitly asserting what follows is your interlocutor's opinion.

If that's not your intention, don't ask the question in negative form. In this case:

> Do you think that decades of isolationist Maoism had more influence on the rural poverty in China than US and British protectionism?

or even better:

> On another note, do you think that decades of isolationist Maoism had more influence on the rural poverty in China than US and British protectionism?
Use of the wrong Grammar
Using the subject pronoun after between.

Don’t say: It’s a secret between you and I.

ü Say: It’s a secret between you and me.

Between is a preposition, and all prepositions take the objective case after them.
No, but I just generate a token for each user and send it to their email when they request it (an account is created if that address doesn't exist). There's a URL that accepts the token and logs them in, that's pretty much it. Hardly anything to open-source.
Nature is too erratic to not have episodes of famine if relying only on sustenance farming.
So, this post basically says that a hotel injects "white boxes" that could contain ads in a website when you use their free WiFi.

If one uses free WiFi, whether it is the hotel's or a Starbucks' access point, he/she should be aware that the access point cannot be trusted anyways and not only that, but also that every other user of the same WiFi might read all unencrypted traffic (which might be the more serious threat).

I guess in 2012 everyone should have a certain awareness around these things and the simple solution is to visit only HTTPS-sites from a free WiFi access point (and don't ignore the browser's SSL-warnings, if they happen to occur) or use your own (encrypted) VPN.

He has email address, but he does not use it to reply. His secretary prints out all messages.
For environment's sake, he should start using email and avoid lot of paper wastage.

It's just my opinion.
'interesting' is a somewhat vague concept. You need either 'interesting for a lot of people' and/or 'easy enough for an implementor who would create such a thing'. It is also important that a programming language and its implementation is used by people who develop new stuff. Currently no large company supports Lisp for that - not Apple (they did that in the 80s), not Google, not SAP, not ... Sometimes they buy technology which has traces of Lisp. Google bought ITA software - they are a Lisp shop. Apple bought Siri, Siri had traces of Lisp in - the original research project was done at SRI, which assembled modules written in many languages - among them Lisp. But that's it.

When display-oriented text editors were developed, very early Lisp programmers implemented them in Lisp and even created engines which were portable for it (the Emacs C part which implements a simple Lisp runtime).

When a CAD company needed an extension language, they added a simple Lisp dialect written in C to their CAD system. Born was Autolisp for AutoCAD - used in millions of installations.

Today there are enough alternative languages around which can be easily embedded - for example Lua.

Common Lisp is slightly more difficult to embed. One either uses ECL (Embeddable Common Lisp) or a home-grown Common Lisp variant. Which for example Quicksilver ( http://www.broadvision.com/en/quicksilver.php ) or PTC's CREO Elements ( http://www.ptc.com/product/creo-elements-direct ) do.

You might never hear of the latter two - they are interesting applications - but not used by that many people.

There are interesting and unique applications written in Common Lisp - but their user domain is very specialized. In music composition you could use OpenMusic, PWGL and several others. In cognitive modelling (used for example to test user interfaces) ACT-R is used. In proving correctness of software something like ACL2 or PVS might be used.

But these are certainly not the interesting applications you have in mind, even though there were probably hundreds of interesting research projects done with something like ACT-R - but it is software for a narrow user group.
Would of being nice if he just apologized without the story about highest standards and a "friend".
While I completely agree with your point that a good design is important, I hope there's nobody on a tight budget reading this and thinking "damn now I have to spend $100 to keep up with the market".

He may have a high IQ but I wouldn't call him smart. If he was that smart people would be using his system instead of Gates and Jobs system. Gates and Jobs are smart, he's a loud mouth with a PhD. Listening to RMS talk about Windows and iOS is like listening to Tenenbaum lecture Torvalds on how monolithic kernels are a thing of the past.

His system fails to fundamentally solve problems people actually have. I'm sure RMS's systems perfectly solve RMSs problems, and that's great if you're a self-centered pretentious asshole focused solely on your own needs. Unfortunately, if you're a regular joe with average needs his system doesn't solve very many of your problems. Gates and Jobs wisely recognized that catering to the needs of others is actually better for society than focusing solely on one's own needs.

Software freedom for the vast majority of people is having their spreadsheet save them hours of manual calculations so they can catch their kids ballet recital.

Freedom is a tradeoff, that's why we don't live in a society ruled by natural law.
I had some friends in college that had a roommate on an exchange program from Norway, and when they explained to him that we used the moral equivalent of IOUs scribbled on sheets of paper to do a majority of our finance, he thought they must have been making fun of him (as in, telling him things about the US that are false so that he'll make a fool out of himself; to be clear: they did not do that to him).

255 comments and nobody mentioned Diaspora?

The project is small and mainly full of geeks now, but so was Wikipedia when I started promoting it. Everybody told me it would never succeed then, but they all use it now.

More relevant to this discussion, it provides a Free (as in freedom) alternative to Facebook. As long as no free alternative exists, Facebook has something going for it. Once you have an alternative, you can kick Facebook. (Also relevant, Eben Moglen, who co-wrote the GPL with Stallman, inspired Diaspora).

Yes Diaspora is small. Wikipedia also once had only 10,000 articles.

I recommend joining. The community is smaller than 800 million, but you can connect with me so you'll have at least one awesome person in your network there.

And you own your data.

I planned on doing the same thing but allowing completely free wifi access across a whole city. The content injection was the simplest hurdle. Offering free wifi (the plan was to use local businesses and offer them free advertising) was the problem as every telecom company we talked to literally revised their TOS to exclude allowing charging customers for internet use. Also force ssl as content injection will not do a MITM or at least it really should not..
There's a similar (but simpler IMHO) project like this already: https://github.com/quackingduck/mp. Either tool is great for learning and debugging ØMQ.

How did you go about finding these designers? I've had some success finding correct designers on odesk, but it can be quite hard and time-consuming to find a good fit (and it really depends on your budget, in your case you can afford to hire expensive top-notch designers I guess).
Ironic that this ships via Amazon!
I don't know, GNU is fantastic, and one of my main issues with Linux is that it has so many binary blobs and non-free software that are required for it to run on most machines.

And as far as what "most people need", "most people" would do fine with a copy of LibreOffice and Firefox running on Ubuntu or whatnot.

Sounds like an awesome idea for an API: Submit a URL/URI and get back metadata without your app or mobile device having to do the heavy lifting.
Hey Daniel,

Problem is that from some points of view it's not really a mistake. We are encouraged to submit things we find that are expected to be of interest to hackers, and this certainly should be. The lack of a comprehensive duplicate detector and the fact that items do fade into obscurity together mean that repeats like this are inevitable, and not necessarily "wrong."

I'd love to see a solution to this niggle. Others say it's not a problem, and I've even had some rather unpleasant emails over the issue, but I maintain that repeats like this show the need for a companion site with "Classic News" (whatever that may mean)

I started to develop one, but life took over, and I don't have the skills to knock up web prototypes quickly, so it languishes, unloved. Maybe one day something will be done to create a resource that preserves the knowledge and judgment implicit in these resubmissions.
This is what I'm thinking as well. The more they think about it the more they realize that the possiblity of cheating may be part of the experiment and decide not to do it because they don't want to look like a crook.
TFA may be too specific for the interests of this audience. Thanks for documenting this with good screenshots.
Why not create a website where bloggers that find out these ripoffs can point out those cases? I think that the public exposure would create enough disincentive to do so.
