It's annoying enough that I shut Spotify down when I'm not using it.

Then they get 0% of my bandwidth. I suppose there's enough lazy/unaware people that it doesn't matter.
And before that there were Palm-powered watches by Fossil, I know.
I don't have experience with jquery mobile - but dojox.mobile from dojotoolkit gave me some very nice results and i've built some nicely performing applications with it. You might want to look into that.
Well I like to use Spotify for music to listen to while I game..which you know, when I thought the application just streamed I figured wouldnt have much an impact on the game.

Im not saying using p2p in spotify is bad, I just want it to be more obvious and at least a way to control its max upload rate in the program itself. The fact that people need to download a 3rd party app to limit spotify from swamping their internet connection is stupid.
Sony aren't great at protecting data, but then again I've had my Xbox live account hacked. Both as bad as each other really...
If you're using premium, why not just download the albums / playlists you want and set Spotify into 'Offline Mode'?
Unfortunately, I honestly think the best course of action is to sue Sony for every penny possible.

The case needs to get as much press and possible, and people need to see how completely ridiculous the whole thing is. More and more cases like this need to tie up the court system, wasting everyone's time and money.

This is the only way we'll get copyright reform.
The problem is that he's not a stockholder. He doesn't become one until/unless he exercises the options.
Maybe I'm just cynical (okay, I'm probably just cynical), but that looks like a slightly more positive spin on essentially the same idea: a whole lot of 'communicating' and no action.

> edit: Ok, why the heck do they call their page Swampland?

Probably because it's about politics, and according to popular myth, DC was built on a swamp.
It does actually say in the T&Cs that it's going to use you as a p2p node if I remember rightly, it's been a while since I've seen the header but it was listed as 'Computational resources'.
The contents of those scriptures have been retranslated countless times. Besides this fact, they were only written down about 500 years after Gautama Buddha died. Third, the words that were written down were those as transmitted by ordinary people, who had a huge gap in level of consciousness between them and Buddha, so they didn't understand exactly and didn't write down Buddha's exact words. And fourth, the scriptures have been changed by a number of monks who just wrote what they wanted in there. It's in these processes that the truth which Buddha taught was changed and has deteriorated through thousands of years.

You asked a very good question. Buddha, when he was Enlightened, also attained nirvana. What this means is that he saw the world of origin, where everything dies and is reborn again. This is why he could see that all the results are made by the causes. So, it's because nothing exists in the world of origin that Gautama said that there's nothing there. But Buddhist monks often misunderstand this as that when you attain nirvana you can finish all your suffering. However, Buddha never claimed that. He explained that when he attained nirvana he could be free from agony and illusions. But no creature while it is alive can be free from suffering. If we don't eat, we suffer from starvation. If we go to a cold place, we feel cold. So to cease suffering forever means that one would have to stop being reborn and die forever. The only way to free from suffering while you are alive is to disengage your consciousness from your body. This is what modern buddhism guides you to do through meditation. But it's the exact opposite way of Buddha's teaching. Buddha taught people to save themselves and to live forever, not to die forever.

> If I had failed using my own money, I could live with it. But having a team of investors believe in you, only to let them down is an incredibly difficult thing to deal with.

You shouldn't feel bad about this. Investors should know there is risk in any investment.

Hello Len,

I'm not an expert at Twitter (or other social media) marketing but I could see myself or other people working in startup/small project/MVP using an affordable ad option to kickstart adoption (get some early users and buzz).

Couple comments on the page: it took me a couple of quick readings to understand what it is, I think i was distracted by the big fonts of the steps section and I missed the summary at the top "Want to show the world something cool? Have it come from my twitter account, in my voice.​". Perhaps make the summary bigger and the steps smaller?

Also the $75 is only mentioned at the very end, perhaps append "for only $75" to the top summary?

The 2nd step could have a link to the contact form itself, or add the form directly into the page (perhaps before the FAQ)

It took me a couple reads to get the "I want to join this network. Can I?​", perhaps add something like "I want to join this network as a publisher", as first read looks like you are filtering buyers.

Good luck!

Mining coal is hugely destructive, even if we take a logical leap and just believe that this really is "clean coal" for creating power.

It's a waste of time. Solar, Wind, Geothermal and intelligent Hydro are the way forward. Everything else is just a bad compromise.
I'm not against companies having influence; the first thing I said was that I was all for innovation and what's the point of innovating if you won't be heard?

The point is that Google are in, not just a position of influence, but a position of control. Google don't need to seek the acceptance of the community at large for SPDY to be useful to them. This is a very different standpoint from, say, Mozilla.
I hope you mean you also kill the background process they leave running.

At one place I once interviewed: someone who can regurgitate POSIX manpages on command.
Most of the copyright cartels like Sony fight against giving people the benefit of the doubt in copyright. So they are not entitled to it any more.

*(They promote automatic systems that will kick people off the internet after 3 strikes, they promote things like YouTube copyright detection software, etc.)
I think you're making an unwarranted assumption. My assumption about Sony's massive, multi-review process is far more likely to be upheld by fact.

I sincerely doubt your assumption will be upheld. I've worked at large multi-nationals, I currently run an agency which does design services for large multinational companies. Not once have I heard nor seen anyone do something like run an icon set for a support page through something like TinEye or Google Image Search to search for possible copyright infringement.

Legal resources at a company tend to be scarce and expensive, and this would be a waste and there's too much gray area in design copyright to make this sort of thing feasible. Also its easier to have your internal teams just do their job and design icons from scratch, outside contractors are going to be bound by contracts to ensure the work they provide is adequately licensed and to indemnify the company against any losses if its not.

Not to mention Sony will spend a small bit of money to deal with this slip up as opposed to a great amount of money trying to police every design they use.
What did Microsoft do to WebGL? I thought they simply liked to pretend it doesn't exist.
> Really? Sue them for all they are worth?

Hyperbole?

I think you are confusing copyright with trademarks.
> While lying requires intent, it does not require knowledge that the statement is false.

Yes, it requires both -- both knowledge that the statement is false, and an intent to deceive.

Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lie

Quote: "Lie : noun : 1 : a : an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive"

Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/lie[noun]

Quote: "Lie : noun : a statement known by its maker to be untrue and made in order to deceive <he wanted to deny the accusation, but he couldn't tell a lie>"

Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/lie

Quote: "a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood."

Here's how this works. If you have an idea about how a word is defined that conflicts with another's claim, before objecting, look up the word.

EDIT: also, think for a minute about your claim:

> While lying requires intent, it does not require knowledge that the statement is false.

How can a person be said to have an intent to deceive if he isn't aware that his remark is false? How does he form an intent to deceive using a statement he believes to be true?
Designers overrate their influence. I can certainly get a usable settings icon for less than $300. We're talking about a website to help users use the hardware they already bought, not trying to win a design award.
I'm not in a postion to suggest what web framework your team should go with. I think that depends on the development taste and needs of your team. My main purpose was to point out the oversite of the Play Framework in the orignal article. FYI the only interest I have in pushing Play is that of a Scala developer who has tried Play and Lift. I found Play to be more approachable and modern. Especially for developers with MVC framework experience.

I'm having trouble imagining a thought process that decides that if someone may write a bad review about you, the best course of action is to kick them out.

Under every scenario I can imagine, you have now moved from "may" write bad things to "sure as hell" will write bad things.

If that was her motivation, she came up with the dumbest solution possible.
But that was a different time, you can't compare India and US, Problems were different back then (mostly technical), and would it be even feasible to wait for becoming reach and developed before developing tech today?

Actually spending to be a front runner in tech like this is not an expenditure, It's a well thought investment. Which i am sure will prove to be a good one, with long term returns.
Nikon D7100 vs D7000: What to buy?
I was working in the web interface of one of our appliances at work just before lunch. One of my coworkers (with whom I share admin duties of this appliance) set his computer to shut down then left to pick up some food. Suddenly I noticed the appliance was unresponsive! I was getting site not found errors, and I couldn't even SSH into the machine. I look at my coworkers computer and realize it's still running, but the last command he ran was a shutdown in a remote shell...
LOL, no we didn't get very far. You continue to make wrong assumptions and now you're being patronizing again.

It was nice talking to you though!
Agreed. This is a confusing and very strange way to do pricing. It shouldn't matter what the size of my team is. I should just be able to buy a license for my entire website/application.
> This is not true. The reason earlier employees receive more stock than later employees is that everyone is receiving the same dollar amount, but how much stock you get for that dollar amount changes. To keep it simple, if you are employee #1 and you get $100k of stock at a company valued at $10M, you get 1% of the company. Later, if you get $100k of stock valued at $100M, you get .1%, etc.

> This makes a whole lot of sense: first, the company was super speculative and full of risk when the earliest employees joined. Then, their efforts directly contributed to the company being (much) more valuable. This was not a guaranteed process, they took on a lot of risk (things could have gone miserably south). They are rewarded for that risk when the company grows.

If they are giving the same value of stock, isn't that less reward for the risk? I would hope that risk plays into the value of stock granted by employees (ie: 100k and then 50k grants).

Nosedive as in potentially disastrous. It's a matter of semantics.

Pebble sold $10 million of units via Kickstarter. Mainstream or not, I'd consider that a mild form of success at the least.

And Apple has been able to do that, but their technology/APIs are already being used by third-party companies for similar purposes, so in this case, it seems like they're playing catch-up, at least ideologically.
Kind of takes you back to 1999.

On the subject of 'your own money' I recently failed at my first (and only) self-funded start-up: http://wpcandy.com/presents/the-story-of-wonderthemes-starti...

The personal loss was not great (around $10k USD) and it was money that I had earned myself over a few years freelancing while working 9-5 so I was prepared to loose it all if it came to that.

The feeling of loss and 'doom' when this little stash of money did eventually run out was very, very, debilitating however - more so that I would have imagined it could be. I was forever thinking how the money 'could' and perhaps 'should' have been used elsewhere on more efficient and better planned projects and how if I had a partner at least we could have shared the 'blame'.

I think that in the end, it doesn't matter where the money comes from. When you get investment, it 'feels' like it's your own money anyway, if it doesn't, then you're probably doing it wrong.

FYI, I HackerNews-d this last week to zero response if anyone cares to pipe in:

I am the OP and CoFounder of Mokriya, the company that built Mokriya Craigslist. It has innovative UI that is never seen before in any other apps. Would love to know what HN thinks of the App. It is a complete redesign of Craigslist on Mobile from the ground up, with innovative UI. Here is some press about the app.

Learning to program in lisp (specifically reading Practical Common Lisp [http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/]) has made me a better programmer in all other languages even if I don't really use Lisp. Even my friends/coworkers have noticed it when coding together. My style is forever improved.

Learning Lisp just seems to promote better ways of tackling programming problems that is transferable to other languages where it's not as encouraged naturally even if superior.

We need to stop calling these "Petition to <thing>". These are not petitions for things to happen. This is not a petition to make phone unlocking legal again, it's a petition for the Whitehouse to write a response.

Furthermore, these petitions aren't going to be seen by lawmakers, as someone in the below comment says. Strictly speaking, the President is part of the executive branch, not the legislative branch, so in any event, no "lawmaker" will be seeing these petitions at all.
You've got this backwards. You want to gamble with other people's money, not your own. Some people took a stake in you because they thought it was a good bet. I'm assuming they were intelligent rational people who could make their own investment decisions. They lost and have moved on. You don't like being a loser, so don't be one.
Synthesizing python UnicodeDecodeError and UnicodeEncodeError
Oh, no, I surely think that Sony did wrong and needs to admit the mistake but that picking and choosing one's battles might be more appropriate here.

I disagree with the author's blog post on making a big stink and "suing them for all they are worth". Yes, maybe just a saying that everyone understands the meaning to but it doesn't lent any credibility or help justify the issue at hand. Which is Sony used the artwork.

When people start tossing around hyperbole it doesn't help, it hinders.

I have less compassion for KDE over this because of the way the blog author worded this. Had the author approached this in a more profession manner than spouting off at the mouth I would be more onboard.
I don't see any background process running when I shut it down on Linux, and my bandwidth monitor immediately shows any unusual uploading activity coming to an end.
Apple is not innocent for using existing weapon. But do not forget that the patent system was created well before Apple even existed. If there was no patent system, tax-funded courts and police, Apple and others:
1) would have nowhere to go for a cheap and brutal protection.
2) would not worry that someone else will use cheap and brutal protection against them.

Why is it cheap? Because couple of millions of bucks spent on lawyers is nothing comparing to amount of tax money and propaganda that fuels police and courts.

No company that earns money from voluntary exchange would risk creating its own armed gang: it will quickly run out of customers well before raising enough funds for a small army.

And if you are afraid that in absence of tax-funded police, some private companies would not protect themselves and their customers, but instead become super-powerful mafia themselves, then it is yet another reason why you cannot have monopoly of violent power in the first place.

My suggestion: no reasoning and intellectual debate is possible if there is a gun in the room. Take away the gun first, then we could discuss different ways to protect intellectual and other property. Guns are needed only against other guns, but even then there's no discussion going on, but pure state of jungle.
I can definitely relate to the last part:

Perhaps you should modify the way you're accounting for your cashflow : Show that all the P&L gets dividended out, and that you then put it all back in the business. That way will show far more than $5,000 commitment on your parts. (They don't have to be literal dividends, just internal allocations to the partners, and an internal reinvestment).

But the blog author spouting off at the mouth instead of proposing this in a more profession manner doesn't help people side with KDE at all.

I'm not sure how this information is relevant.
Seems you agree with me then. You are suggesting that RSA can be cracked, it just takes time that we don't have. Therefore it's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to crack said encryption in a timely manner. You're only describing a lock that requires tools we currently don't have to get it open without the key. In other words, you're just attempting to throw a bigger lock at the problem and claiming victory.

Regardless, RSA encryption is a different matter anyway simply because, for a proper comparison, you would have to make the key to decrypt available to me in some way. In other words, RSA would be just as trivial to crack if the RSA system also told you where it stored the encryption keys.

Exactly, I almost facepalmed when I realized the absurdity of a vacuum hose... although I do wonder if something along the lines of a CO2 compression canister would work to blow away dust.

They discussed for a good hour about the specs only and how/why they ended up designing it this way (they consulted developers). So, basically the architecture is a very powerful PC in a custom configuration: 8-core x86 CPU and custom GPU on same chip, unified 8GB GDDR5 RAM.

What they didn't show is the physical design, which is a good move because the device isn't launched until later. They'll be able to get in the news again when they show the design / launch the device.
The plt team should push that more in their advertising (though I guess they don't have an ad budget).
