Sword control and gun control is a terrible comparison.

Replace the guns with swords in crime, do you think equal numbers of people would die? Obviously not, guns are far more easy to kill with, less physically demanding and ranged.

With a sword pretty much everyone has a good chance of running away, a massacre isn't really possible.
Apps vs The Web
How many typical users change their zoom level? I suspect not many. What % of users online have retina displays? I suspect a growing but still small number. So, it would still matter.

> Citation needed. How on earth is bad discovery beneficial to Apple?

Relax. The question was put out there genuinely, not as FUD. If Apple has so much to benefit from app discovery, why has it taken so long?

I suspect that a lot of people at Apple benefit personally by having the power to decide which apps are featured, and which are not. I know devs for which this makes a difference as big as a good middle class salary or more. I am agreed that it's to Apple's benefit to have better discovery, but as well governed as it is, Apple is not a monolithic entity.

Smart money says that the acquisition is going to lead to much-improved discoverability on the iOS App Store.

I would love for this to happen. I'm not so sure this is in an area of core competency for Apple, though. Acquiring Chomp was the right move, but acquisitions don't always pan out.
I suspect people using a Retina display are more than likely to be using a WebKit browser, so it's easy to make icons render nicely with just the font technique. This is my motivation for wanting to use a font for icons.

But to improve the quality on the desktop in other browsers, you can use a canvas element. And you don't lose anything over image icons when zooming.
Crime in Toronto is fairly low. Gun control laws in Canada are similar to those in the US. I don't understand the point you're trying to make.
This isn't really true since people and especially small-time violent criminals aren't especially rational actors.

The more likely outcome is ongoing gang/tribal violence and blood-feuds, as we've seen throughout history.
Protect you from what exactly? A crazed lunatic coming to hurt your family? How realistic is this situation exactly?

I imagine the most likely situation they would be used in defence is for home robberies. The safest thing to do when being robbed is let them have whatever they want. You would be an idiot if you added a gun into the equation and blood started being shed.

One of the nicest things about Flask, for me, is there isn't any boilerplate. Unlike django, I don't need a script to produce a bunch of boilerplate code for me, just to create an app. I can type out some code, and run it. There isn't a "required" set of files.
The public library is your friend, especially if you live in the right area. For example, many California libraries are in a program called Link+ that allows you to borrow books from other libraries, including college libraries.

Even if a book you want isn't in the library's catalog, go talk to a librarian. They can work some magic.
I actually have no problem with Ebay's decision. The regulation in firearms sales is indeed complex and uncertain. At the time Ebay dropped gun sales, gun control was a hot topic politically. And online auctions were new enough so that one could imagine ebay getting caught in the middle of something bad.

But google is a mystery. Their TOS seem to indicate that they simply have a distaste for the shooting sports industry. But they send me tons of traffic. They could just drop shooting sites from the index. That gives me hope that there is some arcane legal reasoning behind their thoughts, but I suspect it's just a choice they've made, and that they cannot stomach the backlash they would incur by dropping huge legal categories from their results. I would love to hear from someone who has some knowledge on this, as it's been confusing me for years.
Wouldn't bother me, I'd just go somewhere else. Or build my own damn site.

StamSted isn't horrible to me, but it is a bit awkward because it's two harsh syllables together.

I'm fond of somewhat memorable made-up names (the better ones being long gone), over two dictionary words concatenated. I think most people don't care if the name connotes what the site is about. For example, I like Spotify better than RadioSave.

You forgot number 3:

The whole country started when common people picked up weapons and forcefully overthrew an occupying government they no longer wanted around. Self-defense against criminals is very nice to have, but it's not the reason it was written into the constitution as a civil right. The reason is that legitimate government exists only at the consent of the governed, and so the people deserve the power to revoke that consent by any means necessary, or at least to defend themselves against government oppression.

Google also doesn't accept advertisement for pornography, religion, and a whole bunch of other things that might be controversial to certain people under certain conditions. I don't think it's necessarily singling out weapons, it's rather staying out of lines of business that might cause Google more harm than benefit (I assume there'd be a lot of money to be made from pornography ads).

I have never understood why people are so positive about "Design of everyday things".

I guess the book might make you appreciate design and that might affect your sensitivity to design.

But I think you need to have a general affection for design in general to really get anything out of the book.

Otherwise you run the risk of thinking your understand design now that you have read a book about it.

Just my opinion of course.

> turn down the screen brightness

Something like a Pixel-Qi screen would be beneficial in cloudless desert climates. An entirely reflective screen might be even better. City dwellers have no need to think about this, but there are many parts of the world where the outdoors aren't illuminated at night. If people are about after dark, they are likely to already have their own source of illumination with them.

A thicker, more robust form factor that's waterproof and buoyant might be beneficial for other climates. June through September is India's Monsoon season. That doesn't strike me as the friendliest climate for an iPhone.

One reasonable explanation from a business perspective would be a PR one. If someone used Google to find and eventually purchase a gun used in a horrific crime, that would do much to tarnish Google's image.

Reading the Court of Appeals opinion for Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley shows that the district court interpreted the "lawfully made under this title" line as excluding works made outside of the US. The Court of Appeals said that the wording is ambiguous, and therefore referred to the SCOTUS opinion in Quality King which implied that there are some works that, although not in violation of copyright law, are not "lawfully made" under the title.

It seems to me that the first-sale doctrine is definitely in danger (if EULAs haven't already effectively doomed it.) It also seems a valid concern to worry that such a finding would encourage entities to move outside the US to produce works that could not be resold.

Remember we are talking about only the 3G chip in the iPhone. Just that tiny chip, not the GPS chip, or any other part of the iPhone, and not the whole chip, just one part of Motorola's patents used to make the 3G standard. So a tiny, tiny fraction of the functionality of an iPhone.

The patents Motorola is using are called standards-essential, because many companies got together to create a standard, for example, 3G telephony, they pool their patents together and promise to license them to any manufacturer who wants to create a device that uses that standard, in this example, any cell phone that uses 3G, be that Apple, LG, HTC, RIM, anyone.

Since they have now created what is essentially a monopoly on that technology, they could force any or all of these companies to pay them exorbitant license fees because anyone who makes a 3G phone must use these technologies, and therefore these patents. That does not mean the patents are themselves valuable.

For instance, Motorola may contribute an encryption patent. There are many hundreds of other methods of encryption, so that patent is worth very little by itself, once it is selected for the standard, it is the only method that can be used to interoperate. If an manufacturer wants to use an encryption method they invented, they cannot, because their phones won't work with the cell towers.

Here is where we find the current litigation, Motorola says their patents are worth 2.25% of the entire value of an iPhone. There may be hundreds of patents in the 3G standard, if they are all worth 2.25% and there are 300, then the 3G patents alone represent 300*2.25% of the value of an iPhone, or 675%. So everything else, all the other ideas, innovations, etc are worth nothing.

This makes no sense, and the courts have said that these patents must be licensed on a Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory basis (FRAND). That means they must license the patents for what they were worth the moment BEFORE they were added to the standard. in the Motorola-Apple case that might be .05% of the value of the iPhone. Motorola and Google are using standards-essential patents as a weapon against Apple to force Apple to either pay exorbitant rates for the patent, or, more likely, force Apple to allow android to violate apple's non-standards-essential patents.

Thus Motorola is using a restricted, standards-essential patent in a manner which is explicitly forbidden by law. Judge Posner is extremely unhappy with Motorola and Google about this behavior. See the FOSS Patents Blog for more detail.

It is entirely unlike apple's use of patents, it has never used a FRAND encumbered patent to sue a competitor.

I am from the US and I have not heard anyone paying taxes on the $40k as a US citizen. I can not say if this is the correct way to handle it or not. Since the money is split up between the team it is a bit complicated if you have more than one team member, but the money does get reimbursed to the head team member so if someone was responsible for paying taxes on it, it would be the head team member. All charges that you submit for reimbursement must be made from an account of a human team member on the contract or a Chilean company, and not from a US entity such as an LLC.

You can elect to draw a small salary from the grant money here in Chile (which most do) and you must register with the tax office here, but the salary is not high enough to require you to pay taxes here in Chile either.
With an insight into font technologies, this is actually very easy to solve.
Opentype fonts can contain TrueType or Postscript curves. These two have a very different approach to hinting: In TrueType the font is clever and the renderer is stupid (lots of very complicated hints in the font). In Postscript the font only has a few simple hints, and the renderer does the rest.

On Windows an unhinted TrueType text font looks horrid, an unhinted Postscript font is ok.

So, if you want an unhinted font, because you're using icons, just use TrueType shapes and don't hint them (like Font Awesome seems to do)
(This doesn't cover the native mac renderer, it ignores any hints and does all the work itself)

Developer based out of New York with significant Django, front-end, and product development experience.

For the last 3 years I have been the main organizer of Django NYC, the community chair of DjangoCon.US, and I have worked on more than dozen Django projects over the last five years.

On the front-end side of things, I have developed a number of projects from start to finish including projects where the front-end work ranged from entirely static HTML+CSS sites to single page javascript applications that interacted with a REST APIs.

Additionally I have worked done a fair amount of sys admin work deploying and managing django/postgres/mysql stacks. This experience has been entirely linux based (mix of Ubuntu and RHEL). I've worked with both cloud hosting providers (AWS) and dedicated hosting providers (Rackspace, Softlayer). I have also done a fair amount of work automating deployment and management using Chef.

I'd be very interested to learn more about your project and seeing what we could accomplish together.
