"online services or accounts"

That's actually a little tricky when it comes to SaaS - if an employee set up the PagerDuty / S3 / Basecamp / what-have-you account under their own name it might be slightly awkward to take the account over should they leave the company.

Not a huge deal - with discipline, those services should be set up using a company-specific account - but it does suggest that SaaS services should make sure they provide a "transfer this to another user" feature.

Tcl improved greatly in recent releases, also burying the "it doesn't look native" argument. But by then the momentum was gone, and it's hard to recapture that. Rebol will have even worse problems, not having the initial userbase of tcl.

The point was not about avoiding or getting rid of the "bloat/crapware". The poster above me claimed that you won't find "bloat/crapware" in an open-source os and I was just pointing out that with Ubuntu's recent changes, it is not the case anymore.
Flattr is neat, but it seems more geared towards content. I sometimes see a project page with a Flattr button and that just looks stupid. I think you need a lot of Flattr'able content. Like blog-posts for example.

For open source projects, maybe one solution could be to have a flattr button on each git push, or each small release..

Not true. How do I know? I was there:

This is not to excuse what Apple has become, not by any means. But Apple wasn't always a cyber-octopus. I remember the idealism of a startup that briefly had a vast marketplace to itself.
B and C could be something as similar as having a VM with a standard set of build tools and checking nothing else has been added, which should be in reach of even small companies.
I'm not sure the first Japanese example (4 courses) jibes with the other examples -- they all seemed much more upscale, much more into the gastronomy scene, and thus much more expensive to urn. I think the former has potential to be much more profitable than the latter. To monetize the latter you probably need to bid for tables or similar -- if there is so much unserved demand you should be able to make that work.

Anyway, interesting article. I like this kind of stuff where they break down the economics of an industry.
This is a minefield! see forbes article on being forced to hand over your facebook password to employers: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamespoulos/2012/03/22/employers... . I can see the potential conflict in refusing but it might be pragmatic solution to set up a 'corporate you' face book account making it clear that it is set up for work and simply being used in this way. That way you are not being forced to 'personally' endorse products which is the real issue but equally are not putting yourself in a difficult position and refusing your employer.
You are not being downvoted because "people have a problem with the idea of testing a solution". You are being downvoted because your tone suggests you categorically dismissed a groundbreaking project because its introductory article wasn't a scholarly work bristling with citations.

"Numbers, proof, evidence" tend to be marks of an excellent article. But an incredible amount of work clearly went into this article, and it presents powerful ideas in a novel and original light; it is highly valuable and fascinating in its own right, even if it is weak in certain areas that academic papers tend to be strong in.

Yes, citations would help tease apart questionable assumptions from reliable ones. Yes, thorough testing would help lend more credence many of the ideas. Yes, the article is imperfect and could be better in a multitude more ways. Still, the article is highly valuable and fascinating.

Have you heard of the term "strawman argument"? That's what you're doing when you say "It's amazing how many people [are completely unreasonable]". Most people are quite reasonable. If a large community is downvoting you, you should strongly consider the possibility that you, in fact, are the one being unreasonable.

2005 Reddit Interview with PG, Steve Huffman, and Alexis Ohanian
It does, but given that its quite hard to tell the TSA guys from police (well, it was for me) as their uniforms and behavior certainly seem police-ish, it's bad.
They appear like police, behave like police, but when confronted with a situation they can exploit, 10% of the time (in a crazy small sample) they will exploit you. People in positions of authority receive harsher treatment on New Zealand law if they abuse their positions. I hope it's the same in the US.
I've heard that during Noam Shazeer's Google interview, he was asked how to implement a spelling corrector. He described a scheme for statistically verifying queries against logs of what other users have typed. The interviewer (Paul Buchheit IIRC) quickly realized that his solution was better than what Google was using at the time. Noam was hired and asked to implement his interview question in production, and the resulting algorithms form the basis of the spell corrector that's used on Google today (though I hear the code was completely rewritten a few years ago).

Not going to happen (bundling into TVs and being resold to other countries).

Firstly it is not a standard in any meaningful sense but a platform that happens to be owned by the main free channels and the telcos. It's actually a bit like Android except Youview can push updates without even the manufacturers approval!

The rest of Europe has adopted HBBTV as a standard already and much of the world is adopting similar HTML based solutions if not HBBTV itself.

As it currently stands a hard disk is required and that is unlikely to be bundled into many TVs in the near future. Spinning rust is too bulky, it adds cost. Flash is too expensive still for the Youview minimum of 250MB (or is it even more than that).

For the major TV manufacturers the loss of control of the TV UI is a major issue and they are unlikely to do that unless they really have to. For the UK alone it is very unlikely. I'm surprised that some have gone the GoogleTV route to be honest but I think they were imagining it would take off like Android has. Also going the Youview route removes their potential revenues from operating their on online platforms.

So for the above reasons Youview as it currently stands will not make any impact outside the UK (and it won't actually make much inside either) and won't make a major part of any TV manufacturers line up.
I don't see the point of this rule. It seems like it would instill fear, and cause hesitation and second guessing. But I don't like rules in general, I prefer having philosophies. Personally, I would encourage failure and risk taking with limited downside and unlimited upside.

I whole heartedly agree. My point is that it gives you a framework much like building a business is; to create a mind and attitude built for winning in a long-term competitive atmosphere.

Another javascript library to handle keyboard combos is Mousetrap.
Compared to the latter I like the way Keypress handle multiple combos declaration, but overall mousetrap seems more robust.

Also it's not clear to me how Keypress differentiate (if it does so) among a sequence of keys or a combinations.
Mousetrap is using the + notation to handle that so you can declare different bindings for combinations 'command+shift+k' and sequences 'command shift k'.

I do agree with you that people tend to glorify the past. I also agree with the author that it was way, way more difficult not even that long ago when you couldn't get answers by just typing into google. I think that did weed out most people from the occupation because you had to do a ton of reading (not to mention buying those expensive programming books!)

On the other hand you could say that I wasted a lot of time thinking about things that were inconsequential. Now I'm able to focus my attention on the true work rather than getting hung up on the minor details.

There are still problems to solve, they're just on a different layer for a lot of us. You might even say that because of all of our frameworks and libraries that our problems are even more complicated.
You're reading an imagined reply no one is giving. No one is disagreeing that testing ideas is important. Until you test, you never know if there are problems with your ideas that never would have occurred to you no matter hard you thought about them, and that makes testing invaluable.

But sometimes some of the problems that testing would reveal, would also be revealed if you just thought and discussed your ideas more, and would cost vastly less time and effort (which is a very high bar when what you're testing is the efficacy of pedagogy for teaching people programming for the very first time). So presenting your ideas in a compelling way and opening up discussion can also be extremely valuable, and that's exactly what Bret Victor did.

GMail took 3 years from prototype to launch. Google Search was also 3 years from prototype to incorporation. G+ was shorter, but was built on previously-existing infrastructure that's been around for a few years.

Now, it's better to spend those 3 years iterating than planning - rumor has it that the GMail prototype was built in a day. But it's worth being realistic about how long it takes to build a world-changing product - it's a long road. (In fairness to Marissa, I'm sure she knows this, and I suspect she's just trying to get the release cycle down so that Yahoo can make forward progress.)

One interface to piss them all off - Metro.

Reason I say that is if you take Metro away what are the issues.

I know anybody who knows how to use a mouse is pretty much of the WTF metro GTFO and that is understandable, but removing that aspect there is nothing realy upsetting that wasn't there before hand. Yes I know developing on microsoft API's (exspecialy anything associated with IE) has been a complete nightmare for many in the past including myself with many a fix being lamented as fixed in the next release only to find the next release entails you having to change other aspects as they are nolonger supported. Thats true with anything were you touch a API outside your control, at least potentualy in one way or another.

If anything by not officialy certifying minecraft for win8 is doing no harm at all for microsoft as it probably runs fine as is and with the processing power nowadays HTML5 becomes more and more appealing to many as apposed to going native.

Is he right to make a stand, yes, it is his right and has to be respected, especialy as he is able to. But personaly the more I look into win8 and metro aside I'm liking it for what it is, there again I'm the sick puppy who preferes vista over win7 and i'm sure no metro fan, but having explorer or an alternative desktop option is not going to be too hard.

Also worth noting that it will be hard to garner true win8 sales once its released as Microsoft have done alot of write off's last quarter (pulling some early like write off of the cost of pressing windows 8 and other gems) so the win8 release quarter can only look better however it does. This with the cheap upgrade and less messing with versions (mini, lite, almost, profesional and ultra or whatever they were). So for many it will be a fiscal no brainer, especialy all those XP installs becoming less supported (unless your a new intel chipset that support XP over Vista, bless).

Maybe Microsft will install a desktop chosser akin to the browser selection, at least that would plicate alot if they had a clear cut choice.

But anything that runs on a closed source OS in any form is gong to be limited, its if those limitations actualy matter that to what your doing is what realy counts and whilst I applaud Notch's stand I do wonder if later on he find some toys missing that needn't of fallen. Especialy when the certification process for a xbox is alot more stringant than any flavour of desktop OS.

That's not terribly ironic. Contrary to the indignant fanciful writings of tech blog writers, there's no evidence that this is any kind of a widespread practice. Why is anyone's guess, although practicality, exposure to existing laws and basic human decency might all be factors.

But no, let's get a few more redundant and/or downright pointless laws on the books, we're not spending anywhere near enough on lawyers yet.

I'm sure some lawyers will be happy to draft yet another section to your already long and incomprehensible employment contract to deal with this situation.

Just a few more poorly measured statistics from me:
I have 1200+ friends, have about 10-15 birthdays a week. Never post on their walls, don't have my birthday listed. Get maybe 10-15 wishes a year on my wall. Text/call about 10-15 people a year (not including family). Before I removed my birthday, I had about 700 friends and would get around 100 wall posts.

Going to try an experiment where I make a random day my birthday, delete all the posts that catch on to the fake birthday, and then change it to a month later. Will post results.
The problem is that humans are not trying to answer one question like a Bayesian filter, even if they think they only are right now. Every assumption in your post, if it is believed, is remembered for a long time and can be combined with other knowledge to form nearly an infinite number of new associations and opinions. When you play with facts to make a point in a tone that suggests what you write is true, you poison those associations and conclusions and increase the chance that somebody will. Elieve the wrong thing.

Also, while it is true you will give up some brevity while you practice accuracy, eventually you will learn to write better and either shorten your posts again or present them in a more compelling way so that your readers do not notice the length much.

You can create apps on top of app.net that can be used by non-members

Truth be told, that's not what they had in mind. No offense, all you're doing is data crunching.

"3rd party apps" are all about user interaction. This then drives engagement, new users and in turn makes App.net valuable.

But then again, best of luck to you if you can get money out of their developer incentive program by data crunching their own data set.
