Nah, you've got the order wrong.

1. Dismiss climate science because you don't like its conclusions

2. Construct a notion of how science works that lets you do 1

3. Convince yourself you hold a scientific position
Personally, I think patents do far more harm than they do good. They reward complacency. They reward laziness. They stifle innovation.
That wasn't "lock in" it was an opportunity, they sold these folks on lower costs (since Classifieds were a money fund for newspapers) Landlords hated the extortionate prices that the newspapers charged but they didn't have an alternative, Craigslist gave them that alternative, they moved.

But you are using an example in which there was a clear downside to using the existing listing model. The price. If you are a landlord and you have no problem renting out apartments in a reasonable amount of time on Craigslist, and it's free, what exactly can another site offer that is "better"?

They are already getting their apartments rented, there is minimal overhead to using Craigslist. You can't compete with Craigslist on price, unless you are actually giving landlords money for listing on your site. And trying to say "It's easier for users to find your properties." doesn't help if they aren't having a problem with renting out their properties.

Burt Rutan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Rutan

"an American aerospace engineer." "a BS degree in aeronautical engineering." Not anybody who is professionally involved with climate and climate effects in any way.

To compare:

http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/global_warming/global_wa...

"Some claim that there are 31,000 U.S. scientists and over 850 peer-reviewed papers that challenge the consensus that humans are causing climate change. Skeptical Science gave these claims the greatest benefit of the doubt and came up with this interesting factoid:

31,000 scientists represents 0.1% of US scientists that hold a BS degree or higher

850 papers represents 0.1% of the peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change"

Burt Rutan is just one of 0.1% above.

>I believe there is climate change, there always is. The idea that we are the sole cause or that we have the power to stop it, seems a little absurd.

There are a lot of us, and we've been pumping a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere for a long time. Things like the ozone hole or the long-term deforestation of Europe show that humanity is very capable of making substantial changes to the global climate.
I don't know. It seems you are confounding a couple of issues. First is the scope of the article. It seems more of a policy for good practices to adhere to in treating employees. Even if you are a marathon runner, it would not be in your self-interests to require long distance running as a job criteria. Secondly is motivation. The motivations of a founder are often counter to that of an employee. From the perspective of many employees, job satisfaction is much more desirable to a high reward outcome - irrespective of dedication, hard work, or talent.

I think that fictionalising stories to make them more palatable, or easier to digest, has its place, so long as it's obvious.

Dilbert, for instance, is famous for taking real life stories, adding a layer of humour on top, and thus making them more memorable and have more impact.

Would it work? Well, web pages are cached by ISPs all the time. The nature of the internet is that data is buffered all over the place. The argument seems to be that because the data has been at rest for a few days, the ToS no longer applies - this seems like a fairly weak argument, but who knows.

As for phone books, a shrink-wrap license on a CD-ROM phone book which prohibited copying was upheld by the US courts (ProCD), so that copying was a breach of contract even though the underlying data was unprotected.

> PadMapper isn't actually 'using' the service.

Using is a wonderfully subjective word, and I'd expect accesing, and making use of to be acceptable synonyms.

> I've said before though that Craigslist could invent fictitious entries, and sue Padmapper for copying those creative works, just like mapmakers do with fake towns.

These are known as "trap streets" and US federal court has ruled that they are not protectable. Map makers are able to sue because the rest of their map is protectable; the trap streets simply catch the infringer red-handed.

Now I wonder, how big is this then? 4M hotels in the US, what slice of the pie is that compared to the whole number of hotels in the US? And how many in Europe/Australia/Asia, do they use completely different locks?

Also, just because you leaked the details today (yesterday?), how realistic is his worry that evil parties might copy the tech before the weekend? :)

And indeed, doesn't every hotel room have a small safe, I don't just keep my passport there, but also my laptop, camera and phone if I don't take them with me.

And indeed indeed, I never even considered whether the door to my hotel room would be "secure", if maintenance and cleaning have a universal key, it's mostly a privacy measure, rating somewhat above a bathroom stall lock. It might be different if they wouldn't all have a small safe, though.

Now I do wonder how secure those safes are, in general :) Any idea? (edit: whoops I should've read the thread further, this has already been discussed--great discussion though, keep it up!)

I feel pretty confident in saying that we aren't going to find a Dart VM in all (or any?) other browser for the foreseeable future.

With that in mind, Dart just feels like CoffeeScript + jQuery's Sizzle + Underscore. I don't see how using jQuery to create a button is any more "routing around the problem" of DOM creation than using Dart's framework, when they are both translated to document.createElement.

I rather have smaller individually pieces for the greater flexibility it provides. Where Dart clearly has the advantage is in tooling...but that's not nearly enough for me.

Which isn't to say Dart is evil, but I don't see how they'll make web development easier when, in practice (no VM), they aren't bringing anything new.

How to start freelancing with real example?
Hi,

we are small development team from Europe. 3 people. We are all currently employed at other companies, meaning not yet registered as company, just a development team that wants to grow carefuly, slow and precisely. We have setup a website with 0 cost (using Google App Engine) and posted our few apps as portfolio there, also a tutorials section and a blog. They are not very popular, but yet show the ability of our team to develop mobile and web software.

It seems like we have everything, but the trust from people. We are trying for a month now to get a freelance project on the commonly used websites for the purpose (Freelancer and ODesk), but noone chooses us. It's like they see 0 projects, 0 rating and just skip us. And we are ready to deliver projects on time and in good quality. What in your experience should a freelance team or person do so that people that outsource chooses them as their freelancers? Could it be that sites like ODesk and Freelance are more for personal use (Firstname/Lastname), rather than using a team name (which comes as a company name)? Or there is something we miss in the whole process and get not chosen when someone makes their freelancing decisions?

Thanks!
Yes, the constructed list contains a lot of duplicates (removing duplicates with the python set operations shortens it by 40% - would be a worthwhile optimization for the runtime, too), but my percentages are not based on that.

But: I sampled a random real, and looked at whether any fraction in the list is close enough to this real. And repeated the sampling 1000 times. This is how the percentages are calculated, and the duplicates in the list don't affect this.

Fiction was utterly destroyed for me ... when I was examined on finding deep meanings where the author may not have even intended or wanted

Post-structuralism[1] has its place, and I'm a big fan of it now, but I also hated having it pushed on me in high-school literature lessons -- that seems to be a very common experience, and one that really can damage people's enjoyment of fiction thereafter.

I'm not sure whether the problem's one of presentation ("find the meaning! it can be anything you like!"; "er, say wot, miss?"), or whether the average teenager just doesn't have the right intellectual frame to really appreciate the idea "meaning is a product of the interaction between text and reader, not a product of the text alone".

Back in high-school, I overcame my frustration at the perceived arbitrariness by approaching the task ironically -- "sod it, I'm gonna pick the most outlandish reading I can think of". The teachers seemed to think the results were great, which I found pretty amusing.

[1] I refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-structuralism#Destabilized... in particular.

I'm struggling to take what you've said at face value - that the high school situation you've described has destroyed fiction for you. Are you now unable to read without searching for strained deeper meanings for things? Does this also affect television and movies, reading out picture books to children?

Could it be that you've bought into your own fictional narrative? If so, then what you've said is true (the high school thing did destroy fiction for you, indirectly). But you have the tools within you to deal with that.
I found this enticing in a way that my previous glimpses of Dart haven't been. Summary for the video-averse (conclusion begins at 38:03[0]):

– Dead code can be eliminated.
– A little typing goes a long way.
– The DOM doesn't have to suck.
– Built-in syntax, your semantics.
– Classes for stating intent and good tools.
– Don't be evil: compile to Javascript.

For me the notion of swapping out existing client code compilation steps with a Dart compilation step might almost be worth it just for a legible, declarative class syntax. Throw in a vastly improved DOM API and some sensible syntax choices (e.g. same form for calling a getter as accessing a field, avoiding getFoo() boilerplate) and I'm half way to having a play.

An important aspect when using stories to convey lessons, whether they'd be true or fictional, is to stay faithful to patterns grounded in reality, not simply theory. That usually requires a solid life experience or at the very least some considerable research. Otherwise, you would basically be writing your opinion and it might not sound True in the end.

Just consider a teenager who decides to write a love novel out of her extensive knowledge on the matter. Some aspects of it might resonate with most people, those would be the more common patterns. Other elements however might be missing to the more mature audience, who has gone through a lifetime of more complex relationships.

I would imagine that fictional writing for business is similar. You could write based on general theories and sound somewhat "accurate", but the devil is in the details and having first hand knowledge of more subtle patterns (usually overlooked by most theorists) allows you to measure their importance in that context. Good examples of such intricacies can be found if you dig into the psychological aspect of running a business. What sort of poorly documented, yet very common patterns can you find?

Imo, that's what would give realism to an otherwise very entertaining fictional story and credibility to your lessons.

I don't think the predicted lack of support for a Dart VM outside of Chrome is a significant factor – a strength of the linked video was that it focused on Dart-delivered-as-JS.

> I don't see how using jQuery to create a button is any more "routing around the problem" of DOM creation than using Dart's framework, when they are both translated to document.createElement.

With Dart, you don't need to send 96k of jQuery over the wire. Better, you have the returned elements as a baked-in data type. I imagine there's a pleasant consistency to being able to append an element to a <ul> with the same API you'd use to manipulate any other list.

I agree, fiction has its place and relevance.
