Thx for the input. I've had quite a bit of input asking for syncing (and I'd like it myself as an SC2 player). Currently I do some tricks to make the vids start in HD, which is probably causing some issues. I'll work on making this better.
People who are upset about the case in general seem to be determined to read more into this tiny development then there actually is. What they're saying is that just because you don't have an address doesn't mean we can't freeze your assets.

Consider a homeless person who had stolen money and kept it in a bank. Just because the government can't find the alleged thief and doesn't have an address for them shouldn't mean they can't freeze the account, allowing the thief to go on making withdrawls at ATMs around the world.
If you personally have been doing it since 1776, you're fine. It's usually more like some obscure product by a now bankrupt company did the same thing, but neither they nor the product is currently available.

Confiscate the bitcoin bank servers after confiscating the mega servers.
I think that whatever comes out of this campaign (i.e. certain failure), the team of app.net should continue developing this service bc the need for it will emerge one day in the future. It's just that right now, this point hasn't been reached yet. But being able to move first when the time has come is a good thing.
Right now they should, instead of associating this project with failure, provide the service for free but be clear about the fact that they will start charging for it at some point in the future. Or maybe offer a free and a paid plan with the former being limited in possible API calls.
And if you don't pay, you'll get regular visits from TV licensing agents:

Violating religious law vs violating the property of private corporations?
haha nope. I record it real time then encode.
Most people do both in the US, don't they? Paying for cable and still getting ads.

When they brought in one of the early cable TV systems in Australia, I think a selling point was that they had very few commercials. That didn't last long, and these days it feels like they have more than free-to-air... So I don't bother - free-to-air and the internet is enough.
I think a difference is you pay when you order. This means less risk for the merchant (also, a slightly faster pickup).
CTV coverage in Canada titled him on-screen as the "Founder of the World Wide Web" then the commentator called him the Father of the Internet... so half marks, if possible.

Regardless of whether or not he should have thought it possible, he did it. That means that we have the luxury of evaluating his capability by evaluating the product instead of merely considering hypotheticals.

You can have as many theories as you want on this matter; I have many of my own. However I'm asking if anyone in a position to actually evaluate what he already did can tell us how well it worked.

The original article criticizing Khan wasn't written by the person who wrote this response.
>The UK is special in that the biggest broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4) are all publicly owned.

No, no, no. Only the BBC is 'publicly owned' (e: ok and channel 4 is although commercial- the point was definitely not ITV). They do have some regulatory requirements, though.
I have actually - a while ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft2/comments/t3ya3/feedback_o...

I haven't had time to improve it much since then. My plan is to post it here (and get a perspective from a diff audience, tech saavy but not my target). Once I iron out some more things, I'll post on reddit.
I don't see the replacement. The Obama administration has not turned back any of the violations of human rights from the Bush administration. We have even more wars, even more use of drones killing innocent people, we have undeclared wars in somalia (where the UN is warning passenger airlines to avoid because the skies are filled with american drones).

We have the expansion and extention of the PATRIOT ACT.

We have porno scanners in the airports and the TSA molesting anyone who opts out. We actually have what is legally assault, and child molestation, going on thousands of times a day. ("oh its outrageous to call it that!" Really? How is it ok for the government to do it but sickening when a regular citizen does it? Hmmm?)

We have the assasination of US citizens without trial.

We have more asset forfieture- which really is theft.

We have the criminalization of private health insurance (which many havent' realized because it hasn't fully gone into effect and they haven't yet lost their coverage.)

Obama is like Bush, but without the restraint!

I wish things were evolving, but no administration ever undoes the damage of the previous one-- the only way they differ is in which areas of our lives they want to control.

Lets not forget that Joe Biden is the architect of the drug war.... so who really believed Obama was going to allow medical marijauna?

I'd probably even get to watch it in different languages (granted, not so applicable to the London event)
The ads might even be relevant.

And, in general, I prefer to support 'net-based entertainment vs. broadcast because, well, they suck.

There are probably more reasons beyond these.
If the video is configured on the left and right, then wouldn't it make (somewhat) sense to have the speaker channels of the two videos correspond to the left and right screens? As a longtime viewer of SC and SC2 games via video, double sound source doesn't bother me at all. (I remember footage from Korean TV from about 2004 that had first person view and first person sound from two players at once)
Thanks for the feedback. I know I probably sound redundant at this point, but we are still very early in the development this product. These screenshots are meant to show a working prototype built on our API and also to spark your imagination!
never mind, Olympic Committee, UMG and EMI have taking it down a few seconds after I posted this.
except for pricepoint. can you imagine buying songs for $0.25 apiece? or even $0.10! take the digital sales learnings from initiatives like the humble bundle and steam sales and $0.99 ebooks and just apply them.

i mean, with marginal costs being approximately zero, drop the prices by 4x and sell 10x.

better yet, let me subscribe to a service i love and give me EVERYTHING! imagine the chaos if the riaa got into the delivery business and rolled out a spotify clone -- but, globally. with their entire catalog. cats and dogs would indeed start living together.

Having watched the first half live on the BBC in the UK it wasn't as embarrassing as I feared. The 3D version was pretty good, it worked better than many things.

Is NBC offering the 3D version in the US?
ITV is not publicly owned. Channel 4 is though [1].

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Four_Television_Corpora...
NBC is providing live streaming on the web and via iOS and Android apps of every event, for free to people who have a cable, satellite, or telco TV package that includes CNBC and MSNBC. They are also providing on-demand access so you don't have to watch live.

For many people, they won't even have to log in to access this, as they have worked with some providers to automatically recognize IP addresses as belong to people whose accounts qualify.

So they didn't include the opening ceremony. It seems pretty nit-picky to focus on that and ignore the massive effort they've done to provide the live coverage of everything else.
Unlimited? Total world domination, with better marketing. (I think I'd be virtually ethically required to do it, on a line of reasoning similar to "I have infinite resources. The government of, without loss of generality, India does not. Giving them a tiny fraction of my resources didn't work out because they are observably incompetent, and this incompetence is killing Indians. Shucks. Oh well, since I have infinite resources, getting root on India is trivial for me. repeat this analysis for almost all human institutions")
identi.ca is just a site, a red herring as I explained in the other twitter thread of the day. It runs off the StatusNet platform, a software package in the way wordpress is (as opposed to wordpress.com, a site.)

Even more important is the OStatus protocol, which if adopted, would allow decentralization and federation with other sites that speak the same protocol.

Yo Forbes, Fuck You (Techcrunch)
Thanks for the constructive criticism, while I agree it could be better, the problem isn't really that easy to solve.

First off, keep in mind im going towards a pretty small niche here - people that will actually spend time on my app are power users. Gamers who are into tech, and want options.

There are alot of video options, but given my resources this was the optimal solution IMO - and not being modest, I think its a pretty novel solution.

The "huge" sidebar was my solution to not much real estate to put quality vids, while still giving flexability to break down a replay. I could hide the controls, but it does take away a bit of flex (if u want to rewind one player for example). My target audience is people who are good with computers.

I do like the single stream idea however, I can work on that in the future.

* If you don't pay and watch live TV.

You can choose not to have a TV and not pay the license. Without the license you can still watch BBC iPlayer (although not the live bit).
You are correct in assuming that I am upset about the case in general.

However your analogy assumes that the homeless person (Megaupload) is guilty of theft and lives in the U.S.

If this homeless person lives in another country and someone in America claims that this homeless person stole from them. Does the U.S. government even have the right to go and seize this homeless person's foreign assets?

Everyone seems to be conveniently forgetting that Megaupload has NOTHING to do with the United Stated except for operating on the Internet and not discriminating against U.S. customers.
Nice work, Quin and Matt!

I believe that it is the last year of a pan-European deal between the IOC and the EBU/Eurovision which is the club of largely public service broadcasters from across Europe (quite widely defined not just the EU).

The BBC has just done its own deal for the next few Olympics with the IOC.
I like to say "Random is blotchy". If we mean "uniformly randomly chosen with fully independent choices", smoothness is proof that it's not that sort of random.

This comes up surprisingly often. For instance, the mere presence of clusters of some non-communicable disease or something prove diddly. It must be shown that the clusters are unexpectedly large, not merely that they exist. Of course they exist. That's the default presumption.
> license[sic]

That's the American English spelling of the British English noun "licence", not a typo.
Minor point: if the glob doesn't match it isn't expanded. Sometimes useful. I rarely escape scp commands for instance.
Thanks for the input. Yea I went YT cuz I dont have much time/$ to invest now, unlimited vid length in YT is hard to pass up to get an idea off the ground.

I made it flexable however, that if it takes off I can switch to a diff vid streaming provider.

Good call on #4, will do.
I placed a fair comment here regarding the related US government's manipulation of SWIFT and credit card companies to block both Wikileaks and Iran recently (in addition to this case) - direct link http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4303941 - and it was deleted. Why?
Having using "Pengiunplug" for things like replay FPView for Broodwar, definitely concur with the "a bit of magic" assessment.

I've always been fascinated by how many clever hacks come out of the SC community for adding features/functionality like this. A lot of the SC2 observer mode features were a product of hackers making plugins and utilities that enhanced the replay experience for Broodwar, so it's fun to think about what sorts of nice things will be made by such hackers going forward for SC2 :).

Why aren't there more startups -- or established channels -- offering a cable channel at 2x-3x the price, with no commercials?

A lot of people probably can't afford it, but for those who can, it seems like it'd be an interesting option to have.
You must play SC2 :) Yea I have a few ideas on how to monetize and leverage tournaments and pro players. This is still a proof of concept phase really - if people like it, and it gets some traction you'll start seeing some of your thoughts being targeted. With that being said, I am working on things in the near term to target a few of those.
As another data point, I rather like this UI, and think I would prefer it over a "fully-digital" one. To each his own...
Across the developed world libraries are closing, or being forced to reinvent themselves. They're doing this because their original purpose is being done better by new technology. It is simply no longer rational to have a big building to house information printed on slices of dead tree. Libraries and librarians do lots of important and useful things other than simply lend books, but they're having to figure out how to reinvent themselves now that the core service is obsolete.

The vast majority of contact hours in the vast majority of educational institutions consist of chalk-and-talk - someone writing things on a board and talking. The available evidence shows that there is no clear benefit to doing this in the flesh over delivering the same approach through video, and that there might be significant benefits to providing it in a modular format that can be paused and rewound. Sal might not be the greatest math teacher on earth, but soon enough, somewhere on the internet will be lessons by 99th percentile teachers on every imaginable topic.

If your best argument is "We can do what the internet does, only marginally better", then you're in deep trouble - we've seen how well that has played out for any number of people. The economies of scale are too great, the rate of iteration too rapid. You're just not going to beat the internet at supplying data. Educators and schools have to work out what they are uniquely equipped to do, or face the same inevitable obsolescence that is befalling libraries and travel agents and local newspapers and record stores and myriad other businesses.
And did they do this on American soil? colour me surprised.

Netflix Most-Used, Least-Liked
I would also add Sky as one of the biggest broadcasters, certainly by revenue. They are commercial pay TV with some advertising broadcasting on their own satellite platform but with some of their channels also available on cable and terrestrial. Not everyone has the Sky channels.

Yes BBC is fully public corporation of it's own unique type (Corporation by Royal Charter - I think). Largely license fee funded with the rest coming from its commercial arm selling content (mostly overseas) and also books, magazines and back catalogue content in the UK.

Channel 4 is a normal company but government owned. Funded by ad revenue.

ITV is mostly ad funded and fully commercial. It used to be a group of regional companies (a bit like US affiliates) but they have all merged to one big company.

I'm not defending the action of our country but your analogy is way off. You're comparing two whole different scenarios. People around the world commit stuff all the time that would violate our laws but you never hear any cases like Kim's until today. Remember the reason Kim was brought to American justice system was because MPAA (American Company) alleges that MegaUpload caused over 500 million dollars in damages to their company. That's a large sum of money and if its in any other industry, any company would do the same.

I don't understand why any of that would be relevant to the consumer. People buying these monitors know what they're getting - 27" LG panels with minor uniformity issues or a few bad pixels, wrapped in a cheap but not awful chassis. The eBay sellers will test monitors before they ship them and are providing good aftersales service. We both know that the electronics business is FUBAR, I just don't see why that would influence your decision to buy one of these monitors.
I think the comment is valid. I primarily use Windows, but I also use Linux. The lack of 1st party/"Just Works" Linux client for Google Drive is a big deal for me. Lack of direct Linux support for Google Drive is the only reason I still have a Dropbox account.

I added a mailing list at the end of the page.
It's not being nit-picky - the opening ceremony is quite a massive bit of any Olympics. As one of the Athens 2004 organizers said, a 400m race in Sydney, Beijing, Greece or Atlanta would look exactly the same - it's the opening ceremony that sets the the theme.

And the BBC has done all of the above plus the opening ceremony. NBC's "massive" effort isn't for charity - people are paying money for it - they'd better deliver the goods.
In the future we would like to make it easier to do relational queries, but we plan to continue to use document stores instead of RDBMS's. Document stores are more easy to map to the way that data is represented in JavaScript, and they make it easier to reason about versioned data. Currently we support MongoDB, and we intend to support other similar stores like Redis, Riak, Postgres HSTORE, etc.

We just added a lot of functionality to our query system, but it is very much a work in progress. Making it easier to create queries that represent relationships is definitely on our task list.
This does seem to be a logical argument, these days. :/
Its not really what I would do with a gigabit link. There aren't many servers that could supply me with anything that fast nowadays. I think most people would answer something like "...ummm torrent a lot?"

At AOL's TechCrunch Division, Q2 Adjusted F-Bomb Production Down 45% [Update]
In 2008 anyone with an internet connection could watch any event and replay any event. And that was without the obnoxious commentary that accompanies most TV broadcasts. I really enjoyed some of the longer events like the bike road races for their silent, almost Zen qualities. Won't happen this time.

Now, I have to use a UK proxy to see it, and it's got the usual idiots yammering over the action.
This is correct. We have been developing and testing auth with our own app, and we'll publish a simple example using it soon.

Yeah, except the MPAA is allowed to pull its damage numbers from where the sun doesn't shine.

$ mkdir x

Notice that hidden files in the top-level (.y) don't show up, but those in subdirectories (y/.z) do.

It's kind of a gotcha. Fortunately one rarely finds dotfiles in subdirs.
