This is a gross mischaracterization of what Krugman believes. All of your statements about his ideas are wrong as can be easily verified if you read what he writes. A quote from the first link of a search of his writings that debunks your first claim.

But we won’t always be in this situation — or at least I hope not! Someday the private sector will see enough opportunities to want to invest its savings in plant and equipment, not leave them sitting idle, and the economy will return to more or less full employment without needing deficit spending to keep it there. At that point, money that the government prints won’t just sit there, it will feed inflation, and the government will indeed need to persuade the private sector to make resources available for government use.

And that’s why I don’t accept the idea that deficits are never a problem.

The last sentence is particularly relevant.
I'm surprised it took this long for an extremist, reactionary post like this to reach the top of the comments.

Remember: Apple couldn't possibly be a large corporation whose objectives and principles occasionally conflict in a way which causes collateral damage to their users or developers. They only care about squeezing out the competition through any means necessary.

It is a very clear and simple violation of current app store policy. Whether that policy make sense or not is a different question, but there is no conspiracy going on here.

"Once the user is in Safari it is possible for the user to click "Desktop version" and navigate to a place on Dropbox site where it is possible to purchase additional space.

Apple views this as "sending user to an additional purchase" which is against rules."

The App Store is not an open market, nor is it intended to be an open market.
"Constantly pushing updates"

This sounds to me like their plan is to constantly be updating the Lua scripts from their cloud server.

There's no way this would be allowed on iOS right? (Although I can see the comparison with web pages running arbitrary JavaScript, which can also be constantly be updated, but still...)

I tried to compare CodeMirror, Ace and Orion a while back. Orion... well, it certainly feels like it's made by the Eclipse team. The splash page is flashy, but Orion itself looks and feels terribly clunky.

I think Ace (part of Cloud9) looks nicer and as far as I could tell, did everything Orion does. It also will import Git repos. Did you find anything that Orion does particularly well or better than besides Git repos?
If you can work with MySQL, then you'll get a much cheaper plan with a reserved instance of Amazon's RDS.

Besides being MySQL under the hood, which has known flaws compared to PostgreSQL, with Amazon RDS you get to be completely worry free. You can also do backups on Amazon's S3 and setting up a replicated slave is literally just a push of a button.
It's not just Bing results. They use their results instead of running their own content crawlers, but they use some own algorithms for ranking, spam filtering and so on. Also, Bing is not their only source, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't care who wins this case, but as a Java developer I hope that eventually Android will come into the Java fold, adhere to standards and run on an awsome, standard JVM. Imagine using all JVM languages, unmodified, on Android. Both Oracle and Google will gain from this, as well as the entire Java developer community.

(Side note: a ruling on API copyrights could have far reaching ramifications, some might be quite unfortunate, but it's important to make clear that Oracle did not start out trying to establish API copyrightability. They simply set out to nail Google for Android, and API copyright was simply a tool in their legal toolbox.)

Unity does not support linux. So how is it even relevant for Double Fine given their stated requirements? Or any other game dev given the possible future of linux based steamboxes?
This is all getting very murky.

Apple has a monopoly on the "market" (portion) that pays for apps. That's not as clean a definition of market as you would want. The defining characteristics of this market are also (arguably) inconveniently dependent on the offending practices. IE iphone user pay because it is easy, because there is a single payment provider, because users don't have to worry about a cheaper option some roundabout way, etc. etc.

Then there is the problem that any platform, regardless of overall marketshare is something like a little local monopoly. Our definitions of monopoly don't really work here but platforms can still exhibit a lot of what anti-monopoly rules are trying to prevent.
Unity's ability to extend the editor while it's running, and the clever use of imgui (immediate mode gui) is just what I need to prototype things.

Get this Autodesk? Not writing plugin in C++ and restarting every time each one of your god-damn products. Or the pains of the python that came with it (and assert() causing crash of the whole god damn thing).

So back to Unity. Last year, just for fun I was able to write an importer while Unity was running for one of levels, just to see it happen.

I'd hope it'd help to further flame innovation in Europe and Asia. Crippling US innovation with onerous IP laws (like this might lead to) would probably lead short-term to a dip in global tech innovation (and a correlated rise in IP law expenditures :)) until money and talent moves elsewhere on the globe. One can hope.

On the other hand, the US has always been good at exporting copyright provisions and IP laws so worst case, we'll all be at the behest of rent-seekers like Oracle, etc.
As darklajid says, there'd be privacy implications in the way of getting the whole logs.

If you ask mojang nicely, though, they might be able to offer the logs with the users anonymised to, say, a /24 subnet, or to just their geolocation results (seeing as those aren't exactly accurate enough to single out individuals).

Do you really think that's going to be a problem for Unity? Having based their stuff on Mono, MonoDevelop, and supporting OpenGL? Maybe a little bit, but I'm sure there code is almost prepared, if not already running on it.

Especially if they just shipped statically linked code, to not bother with glibc/libc changes, or other differences between distros.
Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this way (sorry, grew tired of all the arguing about Apple's villainy), but the bigger problem here is yet another app attempting to make money by building itself on top of another third-party app/service that is trying to make money and then crying when things go awry.

Nearly all the complaints I see bubble up here on HN regarding Apple's App Store seem to come from devs who, rather than build a valuable service or app in its own right, think they have some great idea for leveraging other people's products/services/apps/APIs, etc. in some less-than-novel way. There is little innovation, little creativity, little in the way of building an app that is valuable on its own merits.

This is lazy.

Fuck everyone else's APIs and this lame practice of building whizbangs atop someone else's. Build a damn app that is worth something. Don't build shit that depends on your users creating accounts anywhere outside your control.

Honestly, dislike Apple's guidelines all you like (I dislike plenty of them), but take a page from Apple's book and start to think about your app with the users first--think about how annoying it is to start up an app and then have to go through all the hassle of signing up or logging in with other people's/companies' services just to use your app.

Think about your product the way Apple thinks about theirs: depend on yourself as much as possible to deliver an experience you control end-to-end.
The two look almost identical. In fact bing now looks more like google, minus a left rail. I actually find google left menu pretty useful.
The sudden rejection of dropbox apps is blamed on 'bad user experience' by Apple, most of us know that its due to iCloud . So, in future if apple makes a games or buys a game company expect your games to be rejected from the app store as they 'are bad user experience' for IOS users or third party games are just not interesting enough. Don't let someone else make your choices , make it yourself.
From what I've read, price wasn't the issue. Google tried to buy a license, but Sun was afraid of losing control over Java (while Google wanted control over Android, or, at least, wanted handset vendors to be able to do what they want with it, which, apparently, has proven to be a mistake as well). Some middle ground would have been the best choice, but the two sides couldn't find one.
It doesn't help because you are not clear what mistakes caused the UX to change.
Since the US has a habit of forcing it's practices on the rest of the world, I'm sure it would have an impact on the long term.

Because of software patents, I already see programming and selling software in the US as a dangerous thing to do.

This is not a new thing. Apple have been clamping down on any revenue generating activity linked to from an app for at least a year now. They are forcing developers to pick between giving Apple a 30% slice of revenue, or don't charge for it, or don't link to it.

Most developers seem to be opting for the third option. The only one that doesn't impact usability is the one that involves giving Apple 30%.
Bingo! I heard a rumour it might be Facebook.

Anti-trust law (where "trust" is an antiquated term for "cartel") is all about preventing multiple companies from conspiring to price-fix or monopolise a specific market via non-compete agreements and the like. For example Microsoft's famous agreements with OEMs to bundle IE and not Netscape. Having a monopoly is no sin, and Apple are no more obliged to sell non-Apple software for their phones as they are to sell non-Apple hardware in their stores.
You don't have to create them from scratch though -- you can reuse old code, even copy-and-paste it.
No, the point was, quite specifically in fact, determining what "Apple's thinking" was and whether it included "we'll add more to our bottomline" as a concern, primary or otherwise, for why they are choosing to "squeeze every 3rd party service to adopt our 30% cut".

Please read the post to which I was responding to undersand the context; the only way in which we care how it affects developers is if that effect is one Apple wants (enough to have caused them to effect such an affect): the primary question is precisely whether Apple makes money.

Out of curiosity, which consoles don't support C++ exceptions? PS2? I would say it's a deficiency in the kernel rather than a language problem... but an understandable one, because the runtime support is tricky (see http://sourcery.mentor.com/public/cxx-abi/abi-eh.html).

You're right, a standardized mangling scheme would have been nice... but there's always 'extern "C"' if you need a C++ function from asm or a linker script.

I agree that Cloud9 looks very stylish compared to Orion. One thing i like about Orion is comment and code folding features. I also liked how easy it was to just download and run Orion, as opposed to "building" cloud9 with all the dependancies and such.

But yeah, if you appreciate beauty, certainly going with cloud9 is the obvious choice.
What you're suggesting sounds like re-inventing the wheel.
NetBSD is the one whose source you should study.

Why not OpenBSD?
Strategic Plan Management
Cloud9's repo includes pre-built binaries, I've never built cloud9 personally. And both Ace and CodeMirror support code-folding.

I don't mean to nitpick, I'm working on something similar to these (with some important differences) and I would like to pick the "best" core editor. Like I said, is there anything else that Orion does better? I don't care about appearance, they're basically all customizable to an extent that they can be made it look identical. And for the most part, they all seem to support the same features (obviously CodeMirror is missing things like Git repos because it's only the browser-side of things)
The Sun CEO at the time claimed that they would have paid Google to use Java, the disagreement was who got to make decisions and neither side trusted the other to get it right (personally I think history has vindicated Google on this point).

> read/write to a DB is always slower than a filesystem

I always thought it was the other way around. Databases can cache data and keep files opened (keep the file locked or something, I don't know).

Also my own benchmarks on an old laptop (MySQL versus FAT32) turned out that MySQL was actually faster, even if you still had to connect (no persistent connection). I should try this again on a decent server and use NTFS or Ext3 (see if that makes much difference), but in general I can't really see how a database can be slower--given that you use it for what a database should be used for. Of course if you read a movie from it once a day, it's not gonna cache that and the file handle is not going to help much either. Then MySQL is only an obstruction to the data which it has to read from the disk anyway. Hmm or is that what he meant here?
> They don't need to start it to get the metadata. All that's sent is the content-disposition header with the suggested file name.

That is the start, unless you perform a HEAD followed by a GET (which takes 2 round-trips instead of one and may not even be correctly supported). And because any link can lead to that, every single link you click would have to be implemented via 2 round-trips, that's complete madness.

> All that's sent is the content-disposition header with the suggested file name.

Nonsense, there is no situation in which "all that's sent is the content-disposition header", that header is part of a full header section and immediately precedes the content itself.

This is actually a really good situation to be in-learning the skill of ending conversations is much easier than learning how to get people to open up in the first place.

To end a conversation gracefully, try something like:
1. I'm sorry, but I have to XYZ. It was really nice talking to you.
2. Either suggest a useful piece of information related to their interests ("If you like Thai food, you really should check out Siam Square!") or introduce them to someone else ("You should talk to Bob, he knows all the good Thai places around here.")

Ending with something positive leaves them with a fond memory of you, plus it tends to avoid making people feel jilted.

Where are all these Apple bashers coming from? If Apple DIDN'T reject the apps using this API, Amazon and many, many devs would have the right to feel pretty angry at the injustice and inconsistency. In-app linking to extra-app purchasing of any kind is explicitly forbidden by the terms. We already had the "debate" about whether those terms are a good idea or not - I believe they're not. But months later it's more a question of Apple being consistent.

So Dropbox updates their API (impressively within a single day!). Done deal. Let's move on to more important things like Apple inconsistently banning the "iKamaSutra" app after it's successfully been in the app store for years. Now THAT stuff scares me as a dev.

Yes, absolutely, I understand there are privacy implications.
