It's a common idiom in the English language: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/judge,+jury+and...

My point is exactly that they are convicted and sentenced by the court system, not the public. For this reason the public have no need to learn their names in very prejudicial cases.

That said, this would have to be very strictly applied as it does interact problematically with the first amendment. As I said, I'm not sure this specific case warrants it.
Patents are not (should not) be about ideas. Patents are about inventions you make and want to licence or exploit by your own. They define the invention so that your clients or yourself are protected from copycats. It is very close to copyright protection where trinity gets tazed for copying the novel. It make sense.

The problem is patenting the concept of a novel. This is really questionnable. How much inventive is that ? This is where the line is fuzzy to set.

I don't think tweeting that you've "lost a database" without any additional context is a very good idea. I'm going to guess that they meant the database was temporarily unavailable to their application servers, but it could easily be interpreted to mean that they had suffered massive data loss with no backups.
So we're engaging in the double-standard where minors make superior victims for the tabloids due to their immature status, but as perpetrators we're willing to try them as adults?

The fact that minors have greater legal protection isn't because they're cute little kiddies, but because it's generally accepted that their decision-making isn't as mature. You get a bit more leeway for bad decisions when you're young - hell, in my state, people under 10 years of age simply cannot be tried for murder.

Given your combative 'screw them even if they're minors' tone, would you really support trying minors as adults?

It's phrased such that the victim is painted as a minor, and therefore less able to make mature decisions, but no such leeway is given to the perpetrators - implying that they're not minors.
You could continue the binary search but that's not relevant anymore - the problem is to minimize the worst case, and your worst case is 51 while there exists a solution whose worst case is 14.
Yes, legitimate exit strategy, but it's a win-loose story. I don't think that win-loose stories are success stories.

Winners:
a) Sparrow guys.
b) Google. They just killed another e-mail client without their ads.

Losers:
a) Current users. E-mail client is just another tool, when you descide, you decide for life. Now all Sparrow users must abandon it after some time, unvoluntarily.

b) Other indie developers. People will step-by-step be waging vary carefully of using and paying for indie software.

c) Sparrow guys after some year. Now they are doomed to work to the end of their lives for big corporation. No one will give them a dime if they ever want to work independently again. This might be not a big loss of course, if you like working for somebody else.

As always, its a matter of preference. Fay is for devs who prefer the syntax and semantics of Haskell before that of JS, and it will not solve anything else beyond that. The overhead is likely neglible in most cases, and is probably worth it if it lowers development time.
471 million in estate taxes on a $1 billion collection? That's depressing. Tax collectors being able to declare arbitrary valuations? That's terrifying.

The more common situation is extremely high valuations, and thus taxes, on real estate which is listed and not selling at half the valuation. I know many people who have gotten burned by that.

Quick googling and you seem to be right that this would likely not be enforceable (gag orders against reporters have not held up _during trial_...even for youths). If the media has the right to disclose the name of the accused, surely the victim has the right to disclose the name of the guilty.

I think my main point still stands. Her view on appropriate punishment is only a part (I'd argue a small part), of the overall consideration.

If we look beyond the gag order and her constitutional rights, I can play the devil's advocate and say that juvenile delinquents deserve special consideration. Should the poor/horrible decisions of a child/teen ruin their life for good? Or should they get a second chance? 10 years from now a potential employer might Google their names and decide not to hire them because of this. I'm not sure that's justice.
It's complex, yet easy to get caught up by emotion and suggest that they themselves should first be sexually assaulted, then executed.

People who advocate eye-for-an-eye (or in this case more-than-an-eye-for-an-eye) should be kept well away from the judicial process. The legal process should be about improving and protecting society, not simple visceral revenge.

The law institute in my state did a study where they found that when they polled the public and gave them details of the cases, the public actually suggested shorter sentences than were assigned. A far cry from the short-sighted 'hang-em-high' knee-jerking you see in tabloids.

Anyway, do we want a society that when you stumble, helps you back on track, or one that says 'fuck you' and kicks you in the face? People actually advocated those visceral punishments need to be called out on it, because they don't contribute anything useful and need to understand what it is they're actually saying.
Wow, so the plaintiffs have a patent on checking with a server to determine if your software is licensed.

"devices that require communication with a
server to perform a license check to prevent the unauthorized use of said application, including,
but not limited to, Mindcraft."
If you've had a look through even a handful of these patents people are getting sued for millions over, they're basically the equivalent of the long-form novel.

You could probably patent the idea of a "long click" meaning a particular type of action. Then you could go about suing someone that came up with the same idea independently.
> Originally, patents were supposed to encourage idea sharing.

The original idea of Marxist communism was very humanitarian in its intentions. We know how dictatorial it turned out when it was implemented. Good political theories that turn bad typically didn't take all parameters of reality into consideration. They're utopias.

I'm planning to stick CyanogenMod 10 on my Note, so I agree to a degree but I'll point out that I got the ICS update over-the-air despite hearing lots of complaints about needing to use keis (a uk vs us thing?)I also wonder if "normal" people really want the UI of their phone to change radically after an update. I get the feeling that is part of the reason that iPhone remains superficially similar over multiple upgrades.

I get what the OP is hassled about. He committed time and energy on developing a product, time and energy he wasn't paid for, but it didn't matter because he believed in the product. He was going to prove that Windows apps could look good, and he was tieing it into an existing, loved brand. In other words, he was doing good, for people who appreciated it. That was enough for him.

However, since it's been bought out by Google, he's lost all the passion for the application. It's just going to get swallowed up by the shark, and no-one really cares. So, what is the point of releasing an awesome version for it?

Obviously, he's got plenty of options at this time. But, the motivation, the passion, the brand recognition, the love, it's all disappeared. Take the magic out of the cauldron and you're just left with boiled, icky bits.

I don't know enough about the application, or the platform, etc, but open-source it, and make it a client that can connect to multiple platforms. Sounds good?
Will you feel bad if one of your former employers goes out of business and the patents are bought up by someone else who will use them to attack, not defend?
I think the problem with Java applets and Flash was not the bytecode but the slow startup (Java) and the closed source software (Flash) as well as the poor integration with HTML. There is no reason why browsers couldn't implement the same functionality we have now with Javascript using a bytecode based VM.
They design it like this so that those less comfortable with tech are not intimidated by it (which is ultimately where the big money market is right now).

I had to give my mum literally zero instruction in how to use iCal on her iPad,she uses outlook at work and still forgets how to do somethings. When I showed her iCal in lion she said "it looks just like my iPad one - I'll be fine".

When showing the older generation round Apple stuff I find there is a strong correlation between how "life like" the app looks and how easy they find it to get up and running.

Again, we all fund this, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to get the information other than "it's not allowed now".

This seems like a very strange and naïve way to look at government.

Think of government as the Rolling Stones: you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need.

Browsers do implement Javascript using a bytecode based VM - https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/tree/master/Source/JavaScri...

Pfff... The market has just "adjusted" : the value of a mail client is close to 0. That's what you pay almost zero for it; and that's why Googl payed almost 0 for its developers as well. Selling a mail client in the 21st century ? Let me laugh... There's 0 added value in it. All you do is provide a mrginally better experience and all the devs get is to solve the exponentially harder support issues. Their business model was wrong. Because a business model is not how to make money, it's how you are useful in the global scheme. Sparrow was not that useful it seems...
"Thinking outside the box" has become such a trite phrase, I was surprised to see it as a puzzle here. Has the phrase become disconnected from its origin?

There's certainly something good to be said about an up-to-the-minute, continually updated, sourced, short form, curated, stream of news.
Quite possibly, but it gets worse: judging from Natsu's comment about patent suits being federal, and the trolls being based in Texas, it looks like it's almost impossible to avoid being sued in Texas, whether or not you do any business there, as long as you do business somewhere in the US.

Regardless of how one feels about the ideal of software patents, the implementation leaves huge amounts to be desired with vague and obvious patents granted every day.

Imagine if every time a patent was invalidated by the defence at trial, the patent office itself was ordered to pay defence costs.

As one of the few government profit centers, I think you would suddenly find a big improvement in the standard of patents granted.

You still need to fix 2 other problems with software patents, otherwise it won't work.

1) shorten the software patent period to 3 years

2) dramatically decrease the vagueness and triviality of software patents somehow

Otherwise, you end up like in the mobile industry, where something like 250,000 patents exist in any given phone, and I assume most of those are not enforced, but if they were regulated, and manufacturers were forced to pay for them by default, I could easily imagine patents costing more than the product itself. This is why you need to drastically reduce the number of patents as well.

I just addressed this in a comment on another submission: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4276668

People aren't throwing their arms up because they lost ten dollars; they're doing so because a piece of software that was important in their daily work, and that they enjoyed using and cared about, and probably would have happily continued to pay for, isn't going to be around in a short while.

Too bad for them; perhaps they should have evaluated the consequences of tying up a piece of their workflow as critical as email to a ten-dollar proprietary app made by people without a track record of building sustainable software better.

The real dick move is to tease people with cool technologies, good design, so-called new marketing models like fenced-garden app stores where "the little guy can make a buck too", lure them in with a cheap and tasty bait, and then use it to make a fortune for a few people at the expense of tens of thousands. That's what a good portion of the software industry is doing, and in the long run, it isn't going to pay out. After a period of bitter lessons, people will stop buying your shiny apps that go away after a few months for critical tasks, stop giving you all their data for cool free services that may ruin their professional lives, and stick to solutions that respect their intelligence. The app store industry will be left selling games and fart apps.

Corruption is completely unrelated to the set of laws it corrupt.

Communism, capitalism, patents... irrelevant.

Saying that capitalism prevents corruption one infinitesimal part more than communism is just pointless and impossible to prove.

Same with any system that tries to prevent copies of work. It will always get corrupted to make corrupts to profit from authentic innovation of others.

I'd love to read the article writer expand on how he differentiate from copyright infringement and patent. What if trinity was providing a better print of his novel than he ever dreamed, and charging less?

If this works successfully then it would be great but as a 28 year old with Parkinson's, I'm skeptical.

It is always better to have alternatives. Being self-hosting and compiling to a widely-used language like javascript is definitely a plus. Another useful case is that an interactive "Try Fay" page can be setup (like "Try CoffeeScript" page).
I think the compiler would already be available in javascript if that's the case.

I've read and reread more articles like this in the past few years than I care to count. It seems to be the most popular cause amongst amateur design-critics, and also has the added benefit of generating provocative article titles.

I don't think this sensibility is going to go away whilst it still has the power to make applications more appealing to mere mortals. The fact that the article uses a picture of the most inoffensive and relevant metaphor to date, the reel-to-reel tape player in the Podcast app, I believe reflects badly on the motivations of the article's author.
Hi,

Apologies for the confusion - the 'Coming Soon' specifically refers to the Library which allows learning objects to be shared between courses in your institution.

Access Control is current available and allows you to restrict the availability of content, quizzes and assignments by date range, as well as an overall visibility setting.

You can enrol multiple students via a spreadsheet yes (as well as teachers and teaching assistants).

Lexim has quite a powerful forums tool - the posts students make in it are visible only to students and teachers enrolled in the space with them.

You can create multiple spaces (ie: one per course/section).

Our current terms of service and privacy policy are available on the website, and outline our obligation and commitment to privacy/acceptable use etc.

Let me know if I haven't adequately addressed your questions :)

Cheers,

Michael
