One thing to keep in mind, this is not the Lua most people are familiar with. Yes the language is the same, but the module system is completely different to be more like Node's. I was disappointed when I first tried it but I understand the reasons.

There definitely is. That's a large part of the essence of fair use -- which allows commentary, parody, and reporting on copyrighted works without any say by the copyright holder, as well as use in education and research (and, with the first sale doctrine, allows libraries to lend books, music and movies to the public for (more or less) free).

"Open" in the social sense means that people know about the lives of others. Claiming that Facebook hasn't made the world more open seems odd to me.

"Connected" is even more straightforward. Facebook dramatically strengthens weak social ties. I interact with people I never would have kept up with if Facebook didn't exits.

There are plenty of rational criticisms of Facebook, but this isn't one of them.
Well, many states have laws specifically for that: a car manufacturer's warranty cannot be cancelled just because the owner or someone the owner paid worked on the car.

The manufacturer's warranty can only be voided if the manufacturer can prove that the warranty claim arose directly due to the owner (or someone they paid). So if the owner changes their own oil and the rear bumper falls off? Warranty.
At the end of the day, the only organizations that are allowed to represent the company's intent are the Legal Organization, the Marketing, and, the CEO. All other bodies are required to communicate with those three prior to representing the company's intent.

Those three go to a lot of effort to be consistent, and accurate before issuing public communications.

I am reasonably certain (let's say 90%) - that Toshiba put some effort into deciding that their policy, as a whole, would be to shut down third-party distribution of their service manuals. This is not the case of an overly enthusiastic legal department. This is their company policy. Suggesting otherwise is giving them credit where it is not due.
It's not an oversight. They've said (r and rsc) that they want to wait and make sure they get generics Right in the context of the rest of the language, and make it an easy feature to use in the presence of everything else (should it ever be added.) I'll admit, I've wished for generics occasionally myself, but it's been remarkably rare in the end.

"1) Their sales and marketing expenses are incredibly high."

I see this point being made in pretty much every Groupon related analysis. Why is it so expensive, and why isn't anything being done to cut down on these costs? I'd think that once customers have been acquired, the cost of maintaining them is a fraction of the acquisition cost; so the outlays on sales and marketing should decrease (from my admittedly layman perspective.)
Okay, then we disagree.

I don't believe that eugenics automatically follow from socialism --I think you should be more explicit here in step 2.

Reproductive rights a problematic in your argument. Which is why we tend to solve the issue by considering couples as a single legal individual. Mostly.

The other flaw would be 'crimes against humanity' -- in a world where there are only individual rights, if I kill you and all of your family, that would eliminate anyone with a claim against me, no? If societies have no rights, what right do we have to punish anyone?

Further would be scenarios falling into the category of 'tragedies of the commons,' where no one person can be held responsible for e.g. pollution. If "common ownership" is illusory, then there is very little incentive not to abuse whatever real property you can get your hands on.

I'm having a hard time distinguishing the concepts of "individualist/objectivist" and "sociopath". On the other hand, I can be grateful that we do live in a world that is fundamentally socialist. Good luck with the philosophy.
Sorry but this actually isn't as bad the article wants you to believe. First off, they base the whole thing off a Mashable article which is just a hyperbolic paraphrasing of the patent filing meant to attract eyeballs and enrage those who are blindly and without question ant-copyright no matter what. And this author took the bait.

This technology may be used for this purpose but I doubt it will be any time soon. Patent filings are incredibly vague often times and a system that detects how many people are in front of a box doesn't necessarily have to be used to prevent people from watching movies with their friends even if it can.

This article just seems like catnip for people who want go off about how dumb the copyright industry is and how much they hate copyright in general. The copyright system may be fucked and it'd be hard to argue otherwise but in this case, in the context of this article let's just take off the tinfoil hats and slow down here.
Inflation arguments don't really work for a lot of people's income. Check people's actual salaries versus inflation and why companies find it so important to get consumer electronics below the $200 barrier.

Computers in schools aren't used for programming anymore. It went the way of vocational programs since teachers are not hired to teach it specifically and a generalist cannot. Computers are web browsers, readers, and run specific education software.

There is a need for that Sinclair / Commodore price and it has been replaced with iPods and smart phones.
Why did you wait until the end of the year? I think that approach would backfire, since bringing you up to par probably 'consumed' your raise potential, so you would still be behind your colleagues who would be getting raises at the same time.

I guess that the size of the country and the talent pool would be an issue but it's worth remembering that Ireland also has state help for new firms with Enterprise Ireland. The banks are pretty conservative organisations but their current woes may lead to a rethink of how they are going to do business in the future.
>TextMate seemed really awesome, as did BBEdit, so why not stick to what you know?

I think the problem with Textmate is that it appears to effectively be abandon-ware. I and many others are skeptical that a final, complete version of 2.0 will ever be released, and the source-code dump makes it seem even less likely. Second-system syndrome is alive and well.

In general, it's not a good idea to continue investing time and effort in software that will eventually cease to be available or updated. Given the persistence of vim and emacs, it seems unlikely that either will be abandoned in any reasonable short- to medium-term timeframe.
I don't think this is necessarily hypocritical. They never claimed they wanted to be "as open as possible in every conceivable way", they just said "open". For obvious reasons, sharing all of their data would be risky, if not suicidal.
And I fear this kind of crappy PC experience is a significant factor in why many people move to primarily using tablets.
> Meanwhile, you seem to be advocating for fighting draconian or ridiculous intellectual property laws or actions by...letting the market decide? That's not going to work out.

I'm against government spending lots of money to help enforce copyright. I was against SOPA because it forces third parties to help protect content providers' property rights. Which is unreasonable. After all, the law doesn't force my neighbors to help protect my property rights. People are responsible for policing their own property rights for the most part.

But that's not what is at issue here. Charging per viewer for content is like BMW charging ridiculous amounts for parts and labor for their cars. Who cares? If you buy a BMW you know that being gouged for maintenance is part and parcel of the experience. It's between you and the company you are buying from.

I'm not a free market true believer by any means. I think there are lots of problems not solved by the market and we need affirmative measures in those cases. But I suppose with the copyright debate, I just don't agree that there is really a problem. If Disney figures out a way to charge you every time you watch their shitty movies, then great, more power to them. It's a great business model to sell something that is physically totally fungible, but which consumers perceive as non-fungible (LV bags, BMW cars, etc). The fact that consumers eat it up anyway doesn't strike me as a problem worth solving.
Not sure if that comment is meant to sarcastic or not but ads are main driving force behind the freemium model of the web. Whether it be Google, Youtube, Facebook or even Reddit and HN, you won't get to access them for free unless there exists a potential for advertisements. Like most others I hate to be at the receiving end of these advertisements, but that changes when it comes to promoting a startup, especially when it is known to be the best medium.
It seems to use it for events, selectors, and data attributes.

Some uses are unnecessary, eg. using `closest` to get the container form element. `element.form` can be used on any form input or control to access the form itself.

I dunno though. I don't like adding jQuery as a dependency but there are still some cases where it's just pragmatic, especially with handling events.

Being Danish I remember that in the early days of Skype they made the rounds amongst Danish investors and VC's. There were no takers (with the notable exception of Morten Lund who made a small investment and made a fortune from it). Nobody had any idea what the heck they were talking about, so they went abroad and got funding from more sophisticated and knowledgeable investors.

I think a lot of the reasons can be found in that answer.

Hey, I downvoted you because of fat fingers and a tablet. I hope someone else will upvote by way of undo, as that is what I intended.

I've been through the same experience. Not once, twice.

On both occasions I resigned the instant I discovered the discrepancy. On both occasions the reaction by the companies was to suddenly offer a wage correction. But the disrespect had already been shown in my opinion.

I'm in favour of transparency now. I'm also in favour of clearly understood titles/levels, with knowledge of how to progress and what it means to be at a level (not a hierarchy, but a personal learning progression).

Whether or not this works for non-engineering roles I've yet to find out.

> Basically, the government forced local loop unbundling, so that the phone companies were required to lease space in their equipment centers to competing ISPs at fair prices and give them access to local loops to offer DSL and other services.

Similar idea was implemented in Poland. It mostly means that you can now get the same crappy DSL connection from a number of providers instead of the single (formerly national) telecom. The quality probably did increase a little, and it is fairly affordable but I don't know a single person who's genuinely happy with that sort of Internet access. Most live in suburbs or outright rural areas and have no choice (the other options are flaky mobile, or expensive and high-latency satellite link).

Only real competition leads to improved quality. In large cities where you have properly separate providers -- cable companies, local area networks, mobile providers and the large telcos -- actually competing, you can get a decent TV package, phone with a local number, DVR, 10+MBit (and going as high as 120MBit) connection and maybe even mobile Internet dongle thrown in for ~$40.
I think if you're happy with what you're using, stick with it.

I switched from pico/emacs/TextMate/Notepad++ to VIM about three years ago. I always hated vi. I love it now, and really wish I would have switched earlier. But the advantages don't become obvious until you make yourself to live with it for a while. The initial learning curve is pretty steep, but once you get over that hump it's pretty easy going.

This is very different from emacs, which was very easy for me to do simple tasks but very hard for me to do anything complicated. It's also different from pico, TextMate, and Notepad++, which are easy to pick up but plateau, sometimes leaving to write a script to do what you need.

Using a vi-like mode for another editor doesn't really cut it, not unlike an emacs-workalike that isn't built atop a powerful scripting language. For me, it's about the way commands stack and compose rather than using hjkl instead of arrow keys.

Good luck and have fun!

It really doesn't. If you really want to see the latest movie just go watch it in the theater so you can talk about it. Or read the summary on Wikipedia. But if you want the Blue-Ray 3D version so you can watch on your 108" LED HDTV with surround sound system, then you're not just participating in the culture, you're consuming a product you obviously enjoy and you should pay whatever the producer is charging for it.

I hold geekdom accountable for at least part of the ridiculousness of the content industry. Geeks spend inordinate amounts of money on fancy TV's, DVR's, portable media players, etc, just to consume this content. They could get a bunch of classic movies on DVD for $1.99 a pop, but that's not in HD 3D with surround sound so they don't. They masturbate over all this content consumption technology, then get upset when content producers correctly gauge that they are willing to pay out the nose for content to use on it.

They'll need to update their detection anyway for devices sold in future. I would assume that the only cost of updating existing devices is the bandwidth cost to download the rules or whatever.
This is awesome. Tackling the dom in a comprehensive and library-agnostic way is what I need right now.
A while back I started to mess around with lua + libuv, and found it pretty easy to write "blocking" functions that would yield to its caller a function responsible for setting up the requisite events to wake itself back up.

If you want to see what this would look like, it's extremely ugly since I didn't work on it much (as it was easier to just use luvit and node-fibers), but I did put it up on github at http://github.com/dyselon/loquat, and you can see examples of it in the timer example of the readme, and the uncommented parts of examples/test.lua. Maybe it'll be of some use or inspiration to someone.

There a lot of cruft in those examples, but in practical usage, everything but your blocking calls would be hidden behind libraries. It's pretty easy to set up similar fiber-friendly wrappers for your favorite node.js libraries, too, if you're fond of the node-fibers add-on.

It doesn't matter much if the potential acquirer is international. Most acquisitions happen because one specific part of the potential acquirer wants the startup in question, and unless that part is also in Ireland, which is unlikely, they would not want to buy an Irish startup and leave it in Ireland.
Not computer users, just the windows users.

I never understood the install wizards for windows software, in 99% of the time you just click "next" until it stops asking for more "next".

And now they all sneak garbage adware with the check boxes enabled by default because most people just click "next" anyway.

Also the whole download and install drivers/utilities etc after installation is very time consuming because the OS has almost nothing bundled and what is bundled is MS only like internet explorer, nothing you can choose in that "next" wizard.

Windows is like a granny in the OS world, she needs to retire.
of course not, microsoft would just licence the patent to other parties

Fog Creek's salaries are transparent to employees. Spolsky explains how they deal with the qualified new hire who expects a higher-than-market salary: (http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090401/how-hard-could-it-be-em...)

Personally, I've shared my salary with like-minded coworkers willing to help each other negotiate the best terms. Never shared with most people, however, because they've internalized irrational ideological barriers to doing things like this.

I like this. One thing I would add, is the ability for users to submit a YouTube URL (add a new video).

For example, Mitch Hedberg[1] is my favorite comedian. I'd like to submit a clip of his in hopes you'll match me with women who like it.

Plus, your job is easier when people are submitting content (you'll need some vetting process probably).

Plus, you can show people stats on the videos they upload. And "here are all the women who liked the video you uploaded," which is kind of awesome. I could write them and be like "Hey.. I'm glad you liked that video I uploaded..." nice ice-breaker.

Good work.
