Maybe the solution is to use IP law the same way that brand name companies use IP law to fight Chinese knockoffs.
I agree with most everything the author said. But I'll add one thing: the secret or no-so-secret main point to a conference is promotion. The speakers are there to promote themselves. The attendees. The folks running it. The sponsors. Everybody. Okay, nearly everybody. Because if the real goal was what people claimed it to be, ostensibly, like "education" or "sharing ideas", etc., then there are generally easier, cheaper, faster, more straightforward ways of accomplishing those goals without involving a conference. (Like maybe using this thing called the Internet.) What conferences are good for, mainly, is face time, a change of scenery, an opportunity to press palms, to party, to travel as a business expense, etc.

I think it was telling that he admitted it was the first conference he'd ever been to. (And I'm not knocking his observations or recommendations: I think they are accurate and desirable!) Because for those who've seen a lot of them over the years, that whole self-promotion pattern is an old and recurring theme.

Also, promotion is unpleasant but it's generally better than writing resumes, filling out applications, going through an interview process, HR, the submission and patronization, etc. Better if people just know who you are, come get you, throw work and money in your face. Promotion gets you that.

Outside of occupational hats (hard hats, etc.), the military is probably the last real holdout of hat use in the US.

I would say the ball cap is pretty common among farmers. Suppliers hand out their branded hats like candy. Not to mention baseball players themselves, who pretty much also wear the style of hat while in a professional setting.
This same comment is often thrown up here in response to DDG's main criticism. Maybe it will work this time? Probably not because all of those names are better search engine names than DuckDuckGo.

I hope he just changes the name. No one will be upset by this move.

Here are my reasons for not liking the name:

- 3 is too many syllables (for a search engine name, which I think should roll off the tongue quickly)

- Difficult to use as a verb

- It sounds like a Japanese game show :)
I tried using ddg as my default search in chrome but had to switch back pretty quickly, not because of search relevance, but because of speed. For me every ddg search takes roughly 2-5 seconds to show results, as opposed to Googles <1 second.

I tend to do many searches in quick succession, so it sort of breaks my train of thought.

I suspect this has more to do with my internet connection/location than ddg, but for now it still makes it frustrating to use day to day.
Finally, someone in the tech world who agrees with me... Is it really a bad thing that Google knows you like x product and shows you things related to it instead of completely irrelevant?
Indeed, I've had similar poor results from SU's paid discovery.

On the other hand, I've had great traffic from SU's organic stumbles. Too bad I can't really control those.

I'm so bad making my point on the internet that I sometimes say the opposite of what I'm trying to say. What I should have said is, music has been bound to a physical medium for so long that people confuse the thing of value with the object that holds it. So I agree with you... sort of.

But I'm curious: what is your opinion about the guy who doesn't buy sheet music and just memorizes the songs and teaches them to people? Do you feel he is in some way guilty of piracy?
My dad was a young man when he fought in WWII. Looking at photos of him after he left the service in 1946, he never wore a hat. And looking at his friends in the photos, most of them aren't wearing hats either.

I wonder if the reason JFK didn't wear a hat was... many individuals of his generation didn't particularly care for them. JFK was the first individual of that generation elected to the presidency.

Which doesn't necessarily mean JFK had no influence. But I wonder whether it was part of a bigger pattern.

Obviously can't prove anything from an anecdote, and I'm not sure where you'd get the marketing data to do more... but it would seem that if younger men did resist buying hats, retailers at some level would probably have known.

What about the cases where they sit you through 10 interviews and because you didn't get one question right or syntax errors on white board you wouldn't get an offe. on the plus side I can think that I shouldn't be working with them but it becoming increasingly common practice among silicon valley tech companies to ask obscure( not fizzbuzz) random coding questions that either you know it or you don't have enough time to solve in a interview. Even with a github profile and coding contributions to open source projects is not helping.

I discover far more music via online streamers (Pandora, Grooveshark, Last.fm, Stereomoood et. al) than I ever did through conventional channels.

Furthermore, feedback collection is trivial. Very few of the actual listeners would ever bother to call a radio station to request a song. Online however, I give "thumbs ups" all the time on Pandora, because there is a solid incentive: it helps to train the music selection algorithm to my personal preferences.

First, this looks like a nicely done app.

Serious question though: Who is doing serious development work on their iPad? Is this for the PHP developer on the go who needs to make a quick edit to a file on their remote server while riding in a taxi, or are people expected to use this app to do real* work?

* This bears repeating: This is a serious question, and I'm not trying to sound dismissive or judgmental. If you do serious development work on your iPad, I'd love to hear more about your workflow.
I live and work in two non-english speaking countries.

In both countries, trying to sell non-native language UI and non-local payment processing is a no-go.

I see downright copying as wrong but are there alternatives other then building something with similar features/workflows? I am genuinely interested.
Mostly true. Hats are a necessity when you spend a lot of time outside. In the era prior to hats where a great deal of walking outdoors was commonplace hats were a necessity. And, of course, they became formalized as part of the everyday uniform of respectable folks. With the rise of the automibile the necessity of hats waned, but they retained their place in society due to societal inertia. Eventually, that broke too though.

I think the key connection that you and the author are missing, is that conferences are also about networking. Yes, there is certainly promotion going on, but more than that or additionally to that, people who go to conferences want to network. While I certainly agree on some of the points the author makes, part of the reason why the question asker is specific and uses common lingo (in the case of uncommon I agree with the author) is to give himself credibility. Which is important if you are going to pull aside the speaker afterword and talk to him, possibly exchange business cards, maybe ask him to lunch, and ultimately find him on LinkedIn. As during the final step of networking, Question Asker A, wants Speaker B to remember who he was and add him to his virtual network.

Which is ultimately a hell of a lot more useful then pretending as OP said to be there solely for "education" or "sharing ideas." Not trying to discount what OP said, but point to something valuable being overlooked.
New tld's and revenue generated
ICANN has received approximately USD $350 million in fees for applications for new gTLDs. VeriSign, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Verisign") reported revenue of $206 million for the first quarter of 2012. VeriSign also applied for 14 new top level domain names including 12 transliterations of .com and .net. I smell monopolies. Trademark owners.. get ready to spend more money, right?
Conversely, I've been at plenty of talks (not always tech) where there haven't been any questions, and that's awkward.

Sometimes dumb questions are better than none.
The company is making 10 billion in revenues PER QUARTER. I don't think they give a shit about $10M.
In terms of privacy, before you embrace DuckDuckGo as a "good guy" and Google as a "bad guy", please be aware of a more-or-less universal truth: you are a good guy, until you become big.

After all, Google's motto is "don't be evil". I think it's a bit naive to compare DuckDuckGo to Google at this point in time, where they have different statuses.

but it’s incredibly difficult to consume SOAP if you have to develop a client library from scratch, access it via a Web UI, or do anything non-standard.

Is it really incredibly difficult to consume SOAP? I thought any language out there these days can generate the client code from the WSDL.

PUT is most-often utilized for update capabilities, The POST verb is most-often utilized for creation of new resources.

I was under impression people prefer to use POST for updates and PUT for inserts in their REST services...

Nice tutorial though, also a section on security problems and different approaches would be a good article to see there...
"sudo" is unavoidable since the installs are designed to go into /usr/local. The other option would be to require you to run as root/privileged which leads to the same issue of running an unseen script and just adds an extra step to the process.

It's possible to design the process to allow installs into other locations but that would require a fair bit of extra configuration (picking up the libraries, etc.) and testing. And you'd lose the service startups. It's something to think about if there's enough demand (and probably required for supporting Macs)
I rather wished that DuckDuckGo embraced more of their whimsical side, and due to their name having 2 ducks, added a second duck to their branding scheme.

I just needed to ask this question since I'm researching for a blog engine that suits me well :)
Here is my requirements ,

* Simple to create blog post

* Need to be speed when saving posts and loading

* I love to use Markdown, HTML, images, videos and that needs to be simplified

* Simple nice looking themes

* Adding multiple pages for the blog post

In order to show this, I just created this and you can try using: http://dokeeno.com/login

WebGL 3D Experiments on the Fly
I'm not going to comment too much on the ethical dilemmas of this behavior but I think it is a symptom of the changing dynamic of the productization of the web.

The consumer products on the web (in the larger sense.. apps etc) seem to be moving more towards bite-size, disposable bits that attract attention by being somehow notable or sensational. Additionally, it seems like the half life of successful products are shortening over time as well. In other words, app development is moving more towards the movie and music industry model and less towards the types of business models seen in most hard science-based industries. A lot of this is enabled at least somewhat by tools that make it quicker and easier to build 'stuff' although I'd still say web application development is somewhat of a mess (but getting better).

I see the long term trajectory being that eventually putting certain types of apps together will be very accessible to semi-technical people and will become relatively low effort. In essence, think Excel for apps that covers 90% of typical use cases (CRUD, etc.) (Note: this is not an argument that technical people will become obsolete - we will move onto the next challenge) As this comes more and more to fruition I think many will see applications as being ephemeral and relatively disposable, and consequently (as much as it pains me to say it), the acceptance and occurrence of copying features and design will continue to go up.

Lastly, while the complaints about copying are valid and I personally find it pretty despicable, investors and entrepreneurs should know that this is a risk in competing in this space. Its getting easier to copy. There will continue to be more and more jackasses that take advantage of it due to better tools. If you want to mitigate the risk, focus on tough technical challenges.
I don't think Hawkins is necessarily saying the neocortex is the only part of the brain that's interesting to understand.

I think the main argument is that there is reason to think that there is a single "neo-cortical algorithm", that it is somewhat simple compared to the massive complexity of the brain as a whole and that if you can understand this algorithm, there will be massive payoffs.

That argument too might be misguided but it seem like a pretty focused idea for going from brain to artificial intelligence (a problem where one would expect that simplifying approaching would be quite necessary).

I'm more doubtful of his idea that the neocortex is primarily about prediction. I suspect that's only one aspect.
All I did was ask -- ASK -- whether if Numenta actually works.

So does it work? Better than what we have? Is it really novel?

ps: You're failing to make a prime distinction about argument from authority and falacious argument from authority. You can safely argue from authority by someone if is a genuine expert and a consensus of experts all are saying the same thing. An expert would be if most of what an authority says on a topic is often virtually all the time, then you could be OK with that person being an expert. The Southern Baptist can argue from authority about biblical interpretations given that they should know Greek/Hebrew/Latin, ancient mediterranean history, etc. They can't argue from authority about evolutionary biology if they don't know anything about it.

The reason I posted here is because I don't talk to my ML/AI friends often, I don't have many of them, and they haven't explained why they think what they do.

I don't understand why it is taking so much effort to get a simple amount of proof. Surely, there's a corpus of data with performance metrics that exists and can conclusively demonstrate one way or another?
>you need to still have a CS degree and understand (and be able to implement) algorithms of increasing complexity

One doesn't necessarily lead to the other, and the absence of A doesn't exclude B.

It's a common mistake to believe that CS cannot be self-taught.
When I first heard of Pair, I thought it was Pair. So I'm not surprised.
If you ask Chinese internet users, most will be skeptical of Facebook's prospects in the country. The social media market was already dominated by Chinese companies, there seems little left for a new player. Even my fellow Chinese in US spend more time on RenRen, QQ and such than Facebook and Twitter. Understanding the rules and consumer preferences in this lucrative market is difficult as hell. The Chinese are more willing to flock to a domestic copycat of a service innovated by the west, even the copycat was inferior. They will complain about how the domestic version is buggy, lousy, unethical and evil, but still choose it over a western alternative. I have wondered why for quite a few years, and still cannot come up with a logical answer. Yet one example had once offered me part of the explanation. Giant Interactive is a leading online MMO company in China, when they stared their games weren't as good as Korean or US ones; but they sent thousands of employees out and installed their game in countless internet cafes in the second tiers cities across the country, along with their other Chinese dirty tricks, Giant managed to captivate millions of players and secured their revenue stream. The Chinese companies are simply closer to its audience, they can afford to go to their audience, literally face to face. The key to success of almost all local Chinese companies, lies in the millions of outdated computers piled in the cheap rooms of low-class internet cafes in lower-income cities and rural areas: places quite impossible for international companies to reach.
Exactly! Now let's use those mechanisms to replace record labels.

- How can club owners learn what new bands to book? How can they inform all the nearby fans?

- How do we get the full feedback loop going all the way back to artists?

- On Pandora you only year professionally produced music. How do we get music production crowdfunded effectively?

Maybe Fandalism can collect that data from the streaming providers and make it available for musicians and club owners?

I would spend a ton more money on concert tickets if I could always see a list of upcoming concerts by the musicians I hear on Pandora. Surely we can do a better job then record labels of getting musicians paid.

Go ahead and touch it anyways. I can't imagine firewalling without it.
I have been working on a solution to exactly this issue. What we came up with is a crowd-sourcing artist discovery system that lets users find the best up-and-coming acts, keep up with their favorite artists (and buy their merch), and receive recommendations for the best shows in their area. Looks like MTV is going to beat us to it. http://www.topspinmedia.com/2012/03/topspin-mtv-artists-mtv

I'd think a good way to hire great developers is to hire and fire quickly. I see this mentioned time and again, yet very few people actually live by it. The process would then turn into a trial period beyond which you are good to go. If you want to have a group of good developers, just operate along the lines of "I give myself X months to notice that this new hire is bad." If you want a group of great developers, switch your mode of operation to "I give this new hire X months to impress his/her peers."

The people who can make the judgement call are usually the hire's peers based on their daily interactions, so how would management be able to get its hands on this knowledge without turning the company culture into a disaster where people always feel like they are being continuously judged by their peers and have to watch their backs?

That story about the MFN clause (if there is even a clause) is amusing.

The academic publishing industry seems a bit like the film and recording industries. They do not want to face the fact that distribution and production are becoming less expensive.
And they are going to fight to the end.
