See Feist v. Rural

Phone books are not protected by copyright unless there is something original about their selection or organization.

Assemblages of fact aren't protected, only the selection and arrangement of those facts. In addition the selection and arrangement has to be "creative."

The selection is definitely not a creative act on craigslist's part b/c they don't select anything, users post the information.

Craigslist posting selection is nonexistent. Therefore they are only left with "creative" arrangement for protection.

You could argue that the arrangement is a creative act. I don't think the arrangement counts because they are only using a subset of craigslist and that is merely arranged by geographical location, definitely not an original "creative" arrangement, but it doesn't matter because Padmapper isn't copying the arrangement.

>Regarding Righthaven, the original media company never gave Righthaven control of the copyright of their data, just the right to sue. This is why it was struck down.

The judge in the Righthaven case said this...

"Because the SAA (lawsuit contract) prevents Righthaven from obtaining any of the exclusive rights necessary to maintain standing in a copyright infringement action, the court finds that Righthaven lacks standing in this case,"

Craigslist ToS doesn't grant them exclusive rights, thus by that judge's definition they don't have standing to sue.
I'd do anything for integration with Box and Dropbox, this would be huge!

An iPhone with Retina-display is better for reading than a Kindle with eInk? And its camera has supplanted "pocket" digital cameras?

Not to talk of the security-concerns once you actually start using your smartphone as your creditcard, I shall enjoy the coming horror-stories of abused credit-cards via stolen iPhones.
Yes that's correct.

Showw.me mirrors the site structure of traditional social networks such that individuals get a profile page along with a dashboard showing an activity feed of people within their network. The distinguishing factor is that showw.me pulls in content created on other networks that are connected rather than creating original and then cross-posting to other networks.

One main goal of the network is to allow content authors (anyone that creates a post) maximum visibility while retaining the benefits of using niche social networking sites. In other words, i can use whatever service i want to post my runs, photos or blog posts but i know it will always show up in my showw.me profile.

Considering was called Greenland by the Vikings who also named Nova Scotia "Vinland" because grape vines grew there, would it be more likely to you that some alarmist scientists would defends their jobs and salaries by giving overperssimistic claims, and that the rest would have to follow the game or become irrelevant in the publish-or-perish world?

Just like a lemon market, except driven by fear?

I remember reading somewhere (Richard Feymann maybe?) about the initial mass or charge of some particle, an electron maybe, being far away from the truth and leading to a suppression of the publication of any "dissident" results - including a much better estimate that followed.

The scientific process took care of that by publishing revised estimates, just slightly lower and lower, until the number reached the initially conflicting estimation, but this took some time.

I do not claim to have any opinion on climate change - except to notice that a side is giving alarmist claims, which can not be disproved, or when they can and are, which are adjusted by an ad-hoc theory. From global freezing in the 70s to global warming, and now "climate change". And that the other side is giving different results and seems to be more cautious in its process, because it is facing an uphill battle like anyone who would have published a significantly lower mass.

That does not win merit points with what I know about epistemology.
That's 150 years on average. There isn't any cycle, its just statistical.

Each national security letter can request the records of thousands or even millions of customers. 200,000 requests can certainly encompass all Americans.
"There is scientific consensus"...

No, there is not. Of you have been sleeping for a few years, then. Many scientists have come out in the recent past to stand against the "global warming" theory.

It is nothing like gravity where we can clearly experiment and it's predictable. Climate change is no way certain nor predictable, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either a fool or an ignorant. Climate models are based on so much data (standard variation is HUGE) that you cannot even draw a line without being laughed at by a statistician.
>> Common answers: better tests, cleaner code, better design.

I wouldn't be so keen to say that these help "avoid mysteries" in the first place. Many algorithms that have better time complexity and space complexity are often much harder to understand than writing algorithms that sacrifice those qualities, but can be understood at first glance. For example, is it easier to understand code that performs a lot of bit wise operations, which is probably better designed and more cleaner than a piece of code that performs operations with strings and object?
I know it's the title of the article, but that hardly qualifies as real-time.
That would be pretty cool. However, that seems like it would be getting into the commercial lending territory which would make it pretty difficult to pull off.

It seems odd that the patent system does not take into account whether an invention could be nearly as profitable as a trade secret or on the other hand, could not possibly be kept secret while used for profit.
Licensing implies getting CL's authorisation
Sibling commenter explained it fine, but to elaborate... your example relies on the existence of wireless networks, LCD technology, assorted networking protocols, cryptography (for secure logins, etc), and video compression algorithms. All of those have been advanced in some part by academic research.
It should stop that type of piracy for IAP for the most part. From what I have seen those hacks just fake receipts that will not pass this type of validation. What could happen at some point is jailbreak hacks using real receipts that do pass validation. For that to happen someone would have to make a real purchase and then give that receipt out. That makes it traceable back to the original receipt purchase and adds an initial hurdle. If this were to become popular it would be easy enough to just catalog the hacked receipts and reject them. Apple could do that or it could be something that gets integrated into the system before the request even goes to Apple. This type of server side validation is a pretty solid defense against piracy.
Really addictive game. It can easily be extended to include cartoon characters or comic book superheroes! One suggestion, please add a nice 404 page so users don't see the raw message.
Synthetic sports field
Our goal is to keep the City’s sports fields in optimal condition. This requires staff to manage the amount of play on a field during both the regular season and pre and post-season. In order to meet the demand for quality and safe artificial grass sports fields, staff monitors both weather and field conditions on a daily basis. This procedure ensures that continued play in inferior conditions does not compromise personal safety of league players, cause unreasonable wear to the field surface or jeopardize further scheduled use of fields.

In Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Co, a phone directory was ruled to be protected by copyright only if the selection and arrangement of facts was an original creative act (listing numbers alphabetically was not).

I'm aware of a case after Feist where a yellow pages for chinese immigrants was copyrightable because of the creativity involved in selection of the facts and the arrangement into categories. But even then the facts themselves are not copyrightable.

Craigslist's selection is nonexistent, you send it they publish it. And the arrangement of the subset that padmapper is using is solely by geographic location and time. In addition padmapper is not copying the arrangement.
It'd be interesting if the statistics on this are being kept. You could answer questions like which brands don't have strong color identities, whether people tend to err on the side of lightness/darkness with certain logos, etc. You never know what unexpected things you might discover.

I suppose one benefit of launching is you can't put off fixing known issues like the wrong error message displaying because I disabled signup after posting the question.

I suppose you're right, and you've convinced me to turn signups on again, but there's also a difference between launching the product (as in letting people use it) and Launching the product (as in marketing, user acquisition strategies, etc.). For the most part, it's the second sort of launch I'm worried about. It seems like a huge distraction that takes away from making the product better, and a large time commitment.
While VMware requires a 64-bit CPU to run 64-bit software, every Mac that supports Lion already has a 64-bit CPU, and is capable of running 64-bit software outside the kernel. VMware Fusion 4's OS X video driver is not hardware accelerated, however, so YMMV, especially on older hardware (not sure about the latest Fusion Tech Preview). You're right that it should boot, though.
This is a great post, but unfortunately you're preaching to the choir.

Help make charitable giving something you don't even think about anymore.
I've never been in industry, but to me there are similarities between running a lab and running a business.

First you have to convince some one (a funding agency, an investor) that your idea is interesting and will work.

Then you have to manage yourself, other people and other resources to work your plan.

Then you have to show off your results.

The real world is not strictly a meritocracy, not even a good approximation. What people (reviewers, customers - the market) likes is often not very tightly coupled to the technical merits of the work.

Based on your past success funding agencies (angel investors) will be more or less willing to fund your next venture.

In the end, industry involves a whole lot more money, but academia gives you a different kind of satisfaction, but in both I think it is what you make of it, how you manage your time, how much stress you take and what kind of work life balance you make.
"The unique, the best"
On Rotten Tomatoes they do have actual news critics writing critiques. That's the whole point of the site. It's an aggregator for critical reviews of movies.

I think that this site is doing something similar.
When one of my apps was pirated a few years ago, I became extremely interested in iOS security. Based on my knowledge, I can vouch for the accuracy of the article you linked to.

The article explains quite well what IAP makes secure and what it does not. If you are using IAP to deliver content stored on Parse, Parse's SDK (and server code) makes this process very secure. The attack goes like this:

1) the attacker fakes receipt and sends it to Parse hoping that Parse will deliver the content,
2) Parse will send the receipt to Apple and ask if the receipt is valid and indeed for the product that is being requested,
3) Apple will acknowledge that this receipt is fake or for a product not being required,
4) Parse rejects the request, and no content is delivered. Success.

However, if you are using IAP to unlock features that are already shipped with the app, IAP does not prevent against binary manipulation attacks.

>if Company B found another way to access the same information (ex: scanning physical phonebooks or asking people to sign up to their site) then I'd say they're within the law.

Company B has found another way. They are getting the data from Google's cache of the craigslist.

Padmapper is not touching Craigslist's servers at all.
Yeah. I know.

We also need a micropayment processor that can do sub-penny transactions.

EDIT: Actually, I would be fine with penny transactions considering that the current state of things with say, paypal; is 30+ cents per transaction.
传奇1.76天下毁灭
I'm aware that public/private "sectors" are leaky abstractions, and that corporations and the federal government are deeply intertwined in practice. My core point was that tax-funded entities like NASA and DARPA can sometimes set the stage for later independent innovation in the marketplace.

I dislike ideological, knee-jerk reactions of [governments/corporations] are [always/never] [good/bad]. If there is a distinction to be made, it is between large orgs, small orgs, and individuals, and even then, those distinctions should be seen in the light of trading off strengths and weaknesses, with the possibility of statistical outliers.
Building Web Presentations Using jQuery Mobile
It has been a few years since I worked there, but I am pretty sure the threshold for qualifying for benefits at Starbucks was actually 20hrs/wk. Their basic theory was that training was one of the most expensive things they had to do, so giving people an incentive to stay for a while was a net benefit.
It sounds like Yojimbo or Evernote for your social/docs accounts, which could be useful if it allows you to store your content locally (read: backup!).
As a professional of the tech field for the better of the last 7 years, I've had the opportunity to work with countless of these marketing, pr, bd people and to be frank, that "Greatness", I've only heard of, never actually witnessed it.

I am aware that the services are needed and can bring some tremendous results when well executed, but at this point I've settled to learn some of this stuff on my own, rather than investing too much time in finding someone to trust with the responsibilities.

Don't get me wrong, it would be absolutely awesome to find the rare pearl that the article mentions. But it's choosing between either continuously peruse for some Master of her domain, or rather investing all that energy into learning to do things myself.

Obviously, some things are more sensitive than others and I still gladly defer to the experts (I won't touch the legal stuff without consult). For others however, I've noted that there have been times when I sat with someone who was supposed to advise me on marketing or BD, and they ended up learning more about these than I did by the end of our meeting.

The whole thing reminds me of this post http://thinkvitamin.com/user-science/user-experience/ux-prof... where the author claimed that "UX Professional" isn't a job title. Ensues a torrent of comments with basically the same arguments that the present article emphasizes it's because you haven't seen a great one yet.

I guess the question is then, how to find greatness?

Then Craigslist should ban Google from indexing their pages
Weak argument. Did they give Google "permission" to access the data (and store and republish it)?

Google is allowed in robots.txt. But that is not exactly what I would call an agreement.

The simple fact is this info is on the public web which, by its nature, copies and transfers data. That's what the web does. You upload something and it goes "viral". You have principles like the "Streisand effect" to contend with.

This goes back a long way. No doubt judges remember. The Ken Starr report on Ms. Lewinsky. Some random classified ad. Like it or not, information gets desseminated.

If you want to protect and restrict access to data, then you do not upload it to the public web. You put it behind access controls, e.g., a password. This is common sense.

If anyone has a claim here, it's users who do not want their ads on PadMapper (if there are any). CL has no standing and their motives are both pathetic and transparent.
> I don't think the dictionary is a very useful authority, here. Dictionaries are reactionary -- they document what words we use. They don't create words. We do that.

That is a very insightful comment, perhaps obvious in this particular case, but people often argue semantics over dictionary definitions, which is often unrelated to the true issue at hand.
My point is that both wheels and engines are simply components of what Ford actually makes, which is cars. Likewise hardware and software are just components of what Apple actually makes.

Totally agree that Apple isn't either, which was exactly my point.
You are wrong. My dictionary defines consensus as "general agreement" and this is clearly the case when it comes to climate science.

No one in the climate science arena disagrees that the changes in CO2 levels are 1) created by burning fossil fuels 2) driving the observed warming effect and 3) that the observed warming trends are outside the levels of natural variability.

The IPCC Third Assessment Report [1] outlines this in much detail. This report has been signed-off on by dozens of international science academies, including the Science Council of Japan, the US National Academy of Sciences, and the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Other institutions endorsing the IPCC report include NASA's Goddard Institute, NOAA, the American Meteorological Society, the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, the American Geophysical Union, and the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.

If this doesn't constitute "consensus" then I would like to hear what you WOULD consider sufficient. There are MANY debates in climate science, but they are generally about the HOW's not the IF's or WHY's.

[1] http://www.grida.no/publications/other/ipcc%5Ftar/?src=/clim...
Yes, there is. Sigh.

I was coming up with a list of cites, but at this point it'd just fall on deaf ears. If you're genuinely uncommitted, just look at what's published by everything from climate journals to general interest journals, like Nature and Science. Sure, the consensus might be wrong, but it's incredibly obvious that there is one: experts are very largely of the opinion that anthropogenic carbon emissions are a major driver of climate change.

Of course, I have family whose post-doc research is in this, so I might just be part of the conspiracy!

Edited to add: well, just to get you started, check out NPG's specialist climate journal: http://www.nature.com/nclimate/index.html . No article is trying to prove anything beyond their own limited theses, but it's very clear where experts are coming from.

Unlike oil company executives, zero climate scientist salaries depend on global warming being true. That's just not how or why academic researchers get paid. They push the "agenda" because that's the model the data supports.
i subscribed for a while, but it's mostly about what's the fastest video card per dollar. blah.

the rest are talking about actually making things, this one is about buying stuff. not the same thing at all.

do you really think building a pc gives insight into programming!?
Yes there is.

Could you name one major scientific institution related to climate science that dispute anthropogenic climate change?

It's funny but I see a parallel between your line of reasoning about global warming and the reasoning of those who believe in creation, and deny evolution.

There are scientists who advocate creation, not evolution and there is no easy way to "prove evolution" as an absolute fact.

People have their reasons for ignoring proofs of evolution and others have their reasons for ignoring proofs of global warming.
