That's hardly a fool-proof solution, because you still end up with a document that's has a very large logical size (even if you represent it in a very compact way in memory) and any non-trivial operation on the resulting string that needs to evaluate it on a character-by-character basis (e.g. a substring search) will still take "forever" to complete.

This is currently not possible using mono develop; the portable library support doesn't exist, which means your 'shared' libraries can't do things like use sqlite or linq; in fact, they can't have references to anything other than other portable libraries at all. Like, for example, system.collections.generic.
At some point, news quality drops below a threshold and readers who value quality stop reading, at which point they find more reliable sources of news. Therefore, creating hoaxes encourages fact-checking due to the threat of reduced readership, if too many hoaxes are put forth as news.

We need more scrupulous journalists, not more scrupulous community members.

It's like you're blaming people who bribe cops for police corruption. What's needed is police who won't take bribes, not to have people stop attempting to bribe them.

More hoaxes, I say. Let's see how quickly web "journalists" can be pushed into doing some actual work.
Surely intelligent people working in tech should know that voting for a third party in the US is the same as not voting at all.
How about, instead, you act morally, refuse to vote, and focus on making your startup successful via non-coercive means.
If you live in a "safe" state (CA, WA, ...), where one of the two big candidates is effectively certain to win, you can vote for your first choice third-party candidate in a way which might help in the long run -- once e.g. the Libertarian Party gets 5% of the vote in an election, it gets federal matching funds, and will be a lot harder to exclude from the process.

In the long run, I think I'd take the worst of the D/R candidates over a string of 8 consecutive elections if the consequence is ending the two party stranglehold.

The way the system works, without proportional representation, you probably will ultimately end up with two parties, but I'd rather replace both current parties with new competent-but-ideologically-distinct parties (like, say, a Green/Socialist/Union/Interventionist/etc. party vs. a Libertarian/Free-Market/Business/Isolationist party).

Sure, but a slim fraction of people who currently download content with bittorrent will resort to this. This will dramatically decrease the number of seeders and thus reduce the effectiveness of torrents even for those willing to pay for a seedbox. In any case, it will increase the cost of downloading pirated content and make legal options more attractive.

Once the vast majority of casual piracy is curtailed, more more focused enforcement against people on private trackers / seedbox providers etc can begin.

Sure there will be loopholes and ways for determined pirates to slip through the cracks, but the days where everyone and their brother can grab pirated content without worry are numbered.

People are looking at shifts and trying to find trends. It used to be that the trend was towards ever-growing prominence of .NET. With recent shifts, .NET is still present, but other technologies are now filling roles that .NET had been expected to fill, under the previous trend. This suggests a new trend.

"OK, I know a bit about pedagogy, and a lot of it is crap."

Any hard empirical evidence for this assertion?

"There's an awful lot of relativism in most of it."

Well, yes, people are not Turing machines or well defined physical systems. As Peter Medawar reminded us, science is the 'art of the solvable'. We need an 'art' for the things that are not solvable in the way he meant.

"...you know you're not in a field which cares about hard facts..."

Yes, teaching and learning is not a field that depends on hard facts alone. The 'soft' factors are important as well. Student teachers need some pointers, models, methods, examples of how to deal with the soft factors. Situated learning big time.

"...but they learn on the job and are pretty good after about 2 years..."

In the UK, most teacher training is based around a supervised teaching practice already, and our government is planning to make it more so. You do not become qualified until after your probationary year is complete (that is on top of the minimum one year training). Another strand is reflective practice, actually looking at your own teaching, its impact (or lack of impact) on students and how to change things. That means a student teacher can 'learn on the job' more effectively.
This article really should reference Kirby's excellent article about a non-Platonic concept of mathematics, which, in arguing that the writing of mathematics is necessary for the doing of mathematics. On this view, mathematics education is a necessarily in scriptural activity.

This is the real story here. C#, as a language is fantastic, especially with the most recent versions which have added things like the Task Parallel Library, dynamic keyword, and the new async/await stuff. It's very easy to write a great performing app with C#.

> This will dramatically decrease the number of seeders and thus reduce the effectiveness of torrents even for those willing to pay for a seedbox.

Not on any of the private trackers that I use. The speed of the downloads has never been an issue because there are already a few people with seedboxes on every torrent, ensuring that downloads are always fast.

Moreover, this program is only in the US, where people have super shitty Internet speeds anyway - most of the times I'm downloading and there are no seedbox peers, it's someone in Europe with a fast connection who's sending me the bulk of the data. Those people will keep downloading regardless of what happens in the US.

Finally, the types of people who frequent private trackers are exactly those who would be willing to rent a seedbox. Ultimately, this will only hurt the ISPs. Right now I pay for the fastest U-Verse connection I can get. If AT&T starts sending me these notices, I'll just downgrade my speed and use the leftover money to rent a seedbox.
I'm a techie too. But unlike the author of this piece, I have a little bit of perspective.

For tech, Romney is probably marginally better than Obama. But I'm not even going to bother justifying this statement - it's irrelevant. Neither politician will have any significant effect on the tech community, and even if they did, it's a minor issue.

Lets focus on a major issue: >500k people just like me (drug users) are sitting in jail right now for no good reason. For those who are unfamiliar, sitting in jail is far worse than being unemployed or having marginally fewer pinterest clones.

Another major issue is the fact that millions of people from the poorest places on earth (I'm not talking about wealthy nations like Mexico here) could be lifted from poverty. The vast majority (i.e., >95%) of India lives in what would be considered dire poverty in the US. Upper class individuals in the poshest suburbs of Mumbai suffer living conditions comparable to the poorest housing projects in the US. All we need to do to lift them from poverty is allow them to enter the US and provide us cheap medical services, clean our houses and the like.

So yeah, one of the politicians is marginally better than the other on an issue that neither of them have much control over. Why do we even care?

Actually, someone should move hundreds (or thousands?) of tech entrepreneurs or smart tech-startup employees to NV, especially if those entrepreneurs could be politically active.

NV is a battleground state with a fairly small population, so even 500 votes with a common agenda would get national candidate attention in the 2016 race. That's probably the most effective way to influence Presidential politics. It does require a year or two to plan ahead, but NV is not a horrible place for some kinds of business, either.

I for one look forward to our new shoe-retailing overlords.

The general idea is (in my opinion) that if you produce something then you should (to a degree) have the expectation of control over the consumption of whatever it is you produce.

Why?
What!? this is entirely incorrect ... with MonoDevelop you can use the entire framework (linq, async/await, sqlite, entity framework, etc.).

It's possible to build applications without using visual studio at all (minus winrt apps, you need VS for that).

Thanks. I'm a physics major, and I've done quite a lot of research into physics education, but I haven't looked into math education. I'll have to take a look into your references. I wrote this article a few months back when there was a flood of "why do we need math?!" articles after some editorial said it's worthless; I only got around to putting it up Friday. So it's aimed more to why we need math, rather than how we should teach it.

I've got a whole separate article on physics education which I'll have to put up soon.
If you are innumerrate, you're going to have trouble with your bills and interest rates and such; if you can't apply logic then you'll have trouble holding a job where you have to make a lot of decisions; but geometry? How many people are concerned with geometry beyond the most rudimentary concepts like interpreting a street map. I just think statements like 'you can't live without geometry' further the 'disconnect' (as they say in America) between the people who 'get' maths and the people who don't. It's almost like a religious person telling you that 'you need Jesus in your life' or something - it doesn't actually persuade in any way, just signals that this person maintains some sort of alien, abstract belief system which they cannot relate to the lives of ordinary people.
It's only a matter of time until the US media organizations starts putting political pressure on others to implement the same thing. The only difference is we have no legal way at all to obtain the content.

> However, in 1988 a boardroom dispute within Kramer's company and the subsequent failure to raise the £60,000 required to renew the patent resulted in the patent lapsing and the designs entered the public domain.

So he couldn't get a product to market within 9 years (many more actually, since just because he lost the patent does not mean he wouldn't be able to produce a player). Seems like the patent system sort of worked here in the end. It would be much worse if he would still be holding the patent and could collect revenues/damages from everyone producing MP3 players today.
A few years ago I read an article [1] about a school teaching maths by pretending that the process was magic in Harry Potter. Perhaps what children and adults lack is a sense of imagination of how to apply concepts.

What I find the most interesting (or rather sad) here, is that this kind of feels like a legitimate case for a technological patent because this guy invented the electronics, and foresaw a distribution mechanism just like iTunes, even some kind of DRM. And just here the patent system fails, because he wasn't able to pay the 60.000 pounds to extend the worldwide patents.

Wasn't the patent system originally devised for protecting businesses like his? Small companies trying to be innovative and trying to compete with the big guys.

This guy seems like a role model of what the patent system was designed for, and just (or even) there it fails.

Also, 8mb in 1984 sounds like a lot of memory. I wonder what storage mechanism / technology he used.

A VPN is not a solution, it bypasses the problem temporarily. A VPN provider is no different than any other ISP, they are subject to the same laws and regulations. And you really don't want to be surfing the web with an added 50-100ms latency just so you can pirate.
Disclaimer: I'm not a US citizen so I can't vote at all.

If your primary concern is the tech sector and entrepreneurs then the choices are pretty woeful.

The Obama administration is without doubt the most hostile to the tech sector through and the Internet its strong pro-IP stance between:

- staffing the DoJ with RIAA lawyers [1]

- appointing RIAA lobbyists as federal judges [2]

- having an anaemic stance on software patents ("don't blame us") [3] since the White House is by far the largest bully pulpit in the country they could act if they wanted to. It is within the power of Congress and the White House to reform the American Appeals Court for the Federal Circuit, which is responsible for a lot of software patent nonsense and, at this point, is arguably an example of regulatory capture

- only came out against SOPA/PIPA when public backlash had already basically killed them [4] [5]

- tried to negotiate and pass the original ACTA treaty in secret, which would have largely equated piracy with terrorism [6]

- used diplomatic pressure on foreign governments to tow the same hardline IP stance eg the AFACT downloading case against iiNet in Australia (which was ultimately lost) [7]

- enacted the America Invents Act, which gives patents to the first-to-file [8]

Romney has been essentially silent on the issue of software patents and, let's face it, he's the off-cycle dud candidate of this election. By this I mean look at the candidates that went up against the incumbent seeking reelection:

2004: John Kerry

1996: Bob Dole

1992: Clinton obviously won against Bush Sr but this was in large part to Ross Perot more than anything else (IMHO)

1984: Walter Mondale

Anyway, if the tech sector concerns you--and since you're reading HN it probably does--the choices are terrible this time around. Software patents threaten the entire tech sector

This "educational" campaign isn't due to laws or regulations but to some corporate agreements. So VPN is a solution. Also some VPN providers provide SOCKS proxies as well so you can selectively proxy your traffic. Also 50-100ms is pretty ridiculous, most VPN providers will have a server within a few 10s of ms from you.
I was curious as to how well this comes across on iOS devices, and came across this while poking around the Kivy site:

We haven't published our demos, but the winner of Kivy game contest #1 have been packaged for IOS: Deflectouch on iTunes.

Linking to this: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deflectouch/id505729681

It's free, and a fun little game. It feels non-native, but less so than some of the other apps out there. It interprets touch events smoothly enough, and runs well, though there isn't a lot going on so that's not a real indicator of performance.

nice! from a functional standpoint I think this app is doing everything right. Nice autocomplete, swift lazyloading of results, the nice toggle over options (full screen, seach video etc), multilingual support, so I have to say again really well done!! My only critiques would really just be design things. For instance the color choices of bright red, grey and black, which with the rounded corners and drop shadows (inner and outer) is kind of over the top for me semi-spam looking - but maybe that's just me. My tastes are usually for a cleaner more white less flashy look. But I'm not a graphic designer so take that for what you will. Awesome app though I'm impressed :)
You make some good points that are making me rethink my key-per-service approach. Though, other than the need to replace N keys when my machine(s) is compromised, there's not that much key management overhead.
I filed a provisional patent app in '96 for a "presence protocol" based decentralized personal networking governed by a social model. I ran into the same precise issue and must sheepishly admit permitted it to get the better of me and abandoned it. Watching the likes of FB, G+ et al these past few years has been a somewhat bitter experience. :)

I guess the silver lining is that I am in possession of government stamped receipt confirming prior art in this domain.

I talked to a lawyer (who is also my friend) about the patent system in Germany. I confronted him with the argument that patents cost so much money and small businesses/normal people cannot afford patents. He then said that this is true but you don't have to pay so much in most cases because of a trick: You can send the patent agency your patent paper and tell them to not evaluate it. They have to archive it for up to seven years and you only have to pay about 500 Euros for this. Assuming your papers are valid you can claim your "patent" at some point during the next seven years. If someone else files the same paper he is out of luck because you filed it first but without letting the agency evaluate it. I don't know if this is true (I trust my friend in that regard) and it does not help everyone in every situation but in may come in handy. Is anybody here who knows if this is actually the case?

The patent systems idealistic idea is to protect the inventor from the big guys that copy his idea, because he himself does not have the necessary capital to manufacture the product.

The patent system certainly didn't work here, even if the outcome is better than if it did.
