I am likely preaching to the choir here, but the following is true. If you don't like this 'externalization' discussed by the author, try this:

Keep your phone off of your body more often.

Going to get a haircut, or go to the mall for an hour? Leave the phone in the car. It is really freeing; you do not realize the subtle impact of that phone/pager/digital watch constantly on the verge of maybe someone messaging you.

Try it out once or twice, especially if it sounds like it'd be tough.

yes.

Also, Steve, would you consider using the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 license instead of a homemade license? I believe the CC BY-ND conveys most* of the same things you intended with your license, but it has the advantage of being pre-vetted by layers everywhere and the CC terms are very well understood (thus encouraging reuse in the ways you want, and ostensibly easier to enforce for the things you don't).

See: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/

I say "most", because you also included the "so long as you do not charge anything for it" phrase in your license. Personally I'm not convinced that matters much in practice, as who is going to be able to charge for something you are giving away for free (and if they do, it'll be on a small scale, and do you really care?), and it's notoriously difficult to define things like commercial use, but if you feel strongly there's always the Non-Commercial variant: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/

Thanks!

Well, I can hardly see a chance of using this in a service thats not a social Network.

For every other kind of service/app, I would send a reminder once in a while and/or showing the users what has changed on the service since their last visit.

Or much more crazy: ASK them why they are not coming back. If they are unhappy with your service. I think you might be suprised about how many valuable answers you will get.
...since they did away with semi-colons, which always offended me a lot more than braces.

The semi-colons are still there, but in most cases they can be inserted automatically when the program is being compiled.

There is some overlap with our LAMP/Django/etc. stacks, but we are much more focused on the application layer. We like the dotCloud guys, they are nice people and very smart. I am sure they will figure out a model that works for them. It is always difficult to get it right the first time. The PaaS business is tough though, because you are competing with the underlying platform providers in a very direct way.

The one thing that stands out from that article is that iMessage is the most popular encrypted chat program in history. Is this true? Isn't gchat encrypted as well?
I don't think it's unreasonable to both enjoy what you do and not undersell yourself.

That being said, there may be situations where you accept less money for something you enjoy more, because the satisfaction is worth it, but this isn't the same as underselling yourself.

I think it's hell everywhere, the UK is not alone in this... tax law is complex, hence the reason big corporations take advantage of it!
I see no problem at all with my bank account balances being published on the Internet. In Norway everybody's total balance is published by the government. I really find irrational some ordinary people desire to keep stuff like net worth, salary, etc. secret.
The problem is that every statement could be a 'government conspiracy.'

E.g.:

The DEA can break iMessage encryption

Obviously they can't, and they want you to shy away from using iMessage!

The DEA can't break iMessage encryption

Obviously they can, and they want you to keep/start using it!
This could encourage people to use an encrypted messaging program that is closed-source, has a large attack surface, and that might not be patched if a flaw is found. So they do have some incentive to get people to use iMessage over something like Cryptocat.
> I find it a bit amusing that the OP externalized his trip in an article about how people shouldn't externalize

It's even more meta than that since OP includes "Discussion over at Hacker News" link at the bottom, anticipating people discussing OP discussing OP's trip.

Part of this argument is old and recycled. I first heard it about people who would obsess about taking pictures of trips and boring everyone with slide shows when they got back, then about fathers who had a video camera at the ready on every vacation.
Coming from Paris, I know that dealing with cab companies is a huge pain. And that's why there are a lot of initiatives that try to deal with what we call "la petite remise" which are private cars. The legislation is far less strict with them. The only problem is that up to now, there's a numerus clausus for them. But it is said that they're going to increase this number in the few next years, so it's still a big opportunity.

Still, taxi drivers hold a strong negociation power against governement: they're strongly unionized and they don't hesitate blocking trafic in case a new law might harm their business...
These studies did not look at injury risk, they looked at top-end strength and power.

I'm not saying the studies are wrong, just that one must read very carefully when evaluating the applicability of this sort of statistical research. Muscular performance has many aspects--strength, power, endurance, range of motion, elasticity, resistance to injury, energy storage, lactic tolerance, etc. off the top of my head. Plus these all change over time in response to how you exercise, eat, stretch, etc.
The main source I've read on DDOS extortion is "Fatal System Error". It's largely about Barrett Lyon's company Prolexic, a company specifically providing DDOS protection for online casinos. But that's just one example, I think there are many more. I have zero specific evidence that there's been DDOS extortion against BitCoin providers, but it sure seems plausible.
I was interviewed for this article, it looks like my comments were used well and relatively in context.

That being said I definitely don't fit into the tech + art audience that was being defined in this article. It seems to be implied that there is a large amount of naïveté regarding art amongst techies, which is very true for the most part, and they're just looking to burn their piles of tech money on something pretty (which is certainly debatable). I study art and art history in my spare time, with a particular focus on Japanese art and Ukiyo-e: http://ukiyo-e.org/ This seems to be very rare in the tech world with few technical people being interested in the humanities, let alone art and art history.

One point I mentioned to the reporter, but was left off, was that almost all art I collect is either antique (and then acquired from auction or dealer) or if it's from a living/contemporary artist then from the artist directly. I've never met a more disdainful group of people then art dealers, especially contemporary art dealers.

It's especially surprising that the article didn't mention Artsy (http://artsy.net) considering that it's right in NYC and it's the perfect intersection of the contemporary art world and tech. They are much more connected to contemporary art galleries and dealers and are working very hard to get people connected to the art they're interested in - which seems to be largely fixing the issue(s) outlined in the article.

There is a lot of interesting work happening in tech + art right now in NYC and I'm excited to even be in the outskirts. Cool projects like:

Doctors are one of the few groups who don't think they need to justify themselves. When pressed doctors typically respond with what is essentially "trust me, I'm a doctor".

What unjustified advice did your wife get?
Of course they did. Primates stretch all the time--just go to the zoo and watch for a while.
I can agree with what you're saying though I want to share an anecdote from Moscow where there is pretty much no regulation and pricing varies by car company. Instead of having a meter you negotiate the price in the beginning.

To help users out with ordering cabs Yandex released an app that actually let's you order cabs and shows you pre-negotiated prices, you can pick whichever one you like (economy, premium, luxury). They include user ratings and some sort of due-diligence for taxis to get accepted to their network.

But apart from that, a Lyft-like system has existed in many cities for years. In Moscow just holding up your hand on the side of the street prompts anyone to just drive over to the side of the street and offer you a ride. Most of these are full-time or part-time drivers, but also people getting home from work who don't mind a small detour for a bit of extra cash. At a fraction of the price this is the most popular way for people to get around, although some cars look like they date back into the USSR era.

This is a perfectly acceptable scenario and I think with modern technology the market will start to regulate itself.
When is that going to happen?

Learning that atitude was something I at least partly could control in my life was very important in my overall personal development.

going above and beyond for your employer it will help you out?

Yes. You learn your limits. You make time go by more quickly by being an active participant. You develop disciplines that can help you out in many contexts. You keep your mind active by DOING things rather than just watching the clock waiting for your shift to end. You make yourself more valued which can help you get that pay raise or promotion. You establish a reputation for being solid, which makes your future job searches a hell of a lot easier.

Look, you're going to be working your job anyway. You might as well do it well, make the time go by quickly, and help yourself along the way.

I feel like this is cyclical.

Government steps in with common-sense safety/destination regulations, requires cab drivers to be certified. All good. Then, these cab companies who have by necessity acquired some competence in lobbying start getting some rules in to benefit them, creating a cumbersome, crappy situation ripe for disruption.

Enter Uber. After they've had some success, the government will step in with some basic, common-sense safety/destination regulations...
"customer service will improve through market action"

Ever been somewhere where taxis appear to be completely unregulated? It can be a scary nightmare.

Why not enforce regulations on vehicle safety, accurate and fair charging and driver safety and remove the artificial restrictions on the number of people competing in the market? A lot of places outside of the US go with that approach and it can work pretty well.
They're just trying to throw the whole enchilada at Uber to make them either go away or somehow curb their practice. The recent Boston Globe Spotlight Team's expose on the taxi business in Boston, coupled with the fact that some of the larger taxi companies own limousine services will not help their cause. It's simple intimidation through litigation.

Yes, but that wouldn't do anything harmful. Something like dbname="-r /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_clog/0000" would be required to cause any harm. I have not tested it in practice but that should cause the server to overwrite the file with log output.

EDIT: They are not overwritten but just appended to.
It seems to me that, ultimately, such practices should be investigated and perhaps prosecuted on some legal basis. The problem is so endemic and systemic that I can't help believing some degree of perhaps illegal (and, at least, it should be illegal) collusion is in place.

One example: How can I know/believe that practices aren't widespread to deny myself and others coverage we are actually due per our contracts?

There is also widespread, systemic spreading of cost that is outside of any contract (i.e. insurance) authorizing and mandating such. Widespread enough to warrant investigation for fraud.

If the regulators weren't totally co-opted and owned by the industry, it would be rife for investigation and perhaps charges of corruption. Under existing laws -- no new laws needed.

True, but I know about the potential of companies, and failing to reach that potential is a form of failure.
So you know all about the ultimate potential of every single company out there, formed and as-yet-unformed? Dude, if you're that prescient, forget this entrepreneurial thing and just buy lottery tickets, or go to the horse tracks.
All joking aside, I don't completely disagree with "True, but I know about the potential of companies, and failing to reach that potential is a form of failure", but I do disagree that you have any standing to mandate what everyone else should have as goals, or what their "success criteria" are.
I suppose if one were looking at it from the point of view of "the success of the company" as opposed to "the success of the founders" I could be more sympathetic to your position,

I was, and this probably wasn't clear.

It was my first article in a while and there are a number of things I want to do differently in the next one, especially when introducing a contrarian point. I appreciate your feedback.
I'd love to use it with any EC2 installation (EngineYard, stock EC2 etc).

Your example is a clear case of regulation failure. The cab companies knew of the inspection but took no action to comply with the regulations.

In smaller cities like Manchester where there are only 19 cabs there is very little market pressure. Competition in large cities will put more pressure on companies. The risk of a significant lawsuit is also significant pressure to maintain vehicles.

Those people were not concerned about the speed at which to convert, more about the sudden extra cash needed.

I used the one I did because it's the one Zed used for his books (at least that's what it was when I started this one) and since the book is heavily influenced by his I wanted to stay in the spirit of Learn X the Hard Way.

If this were software I'd probably use a more structured license, but since it's just a book I think this is fine. Worst case: someone doesn't redistribute it because it's not a CC license. Well... they can still read it online...

Fascinating stuff. Since there is no legal authority behind Bitcoin (meaning people with jails and a willingness to use them) there are incentives to find ways to manipulate it in these sorts of ways, and little risk.

I don't doubt for a minute that the authorities find this amusing since they would no doubt rather a currency outside anyone's jurisdiction got established and so people who destabilize it are "friends" of a sort. That makes them less likely to intervene.

That combination makes BitCoin sort of like [1] Eve Online, but with drugs instead of spaceships. I wonder if this will lead to the creation of 'recovery agents' like the art world has, usually former thieves or investigators who work for insurance companies for a percentage of the recovered value.

Sheryl Sandberg Extended Interview Pt. 1 - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Comparison with Freebase:

> Simpler structure: There are no datatypes, namespaces, lists, domains. Just ordered nodes. Having a dead simple structure like that allows developers to quickly and intuitively know how to access the info they want.

I don't see how this makes it simpler or intuitive at ALL. If there's no convention as to whether I should search for "born on" or "born_date" or "year_born", or whether the date will be "1900-08-01" or "08-01-1900" or "1900/08"... then how is this supposed to be useful?

The central problem is, there are lots of textual ways of describing the same thing. Without standardized datatypes and standardized tags, it quickly becomes a messy, useless free-for-all.

I don't see how TheBigDB gets around this. The FAQ explains how it's different from Freebase/Wikidata, but I don't at all understand how it's supposed to be better, or even as good.

Yeah but everyone and their mom knows or should know that regular txt messages are easily taken. Maybe the street corner kids use the plain messages but the big fish might slip and use a crackable method. DEA could be waiting
I think it's more complicated than that IMO, by controlling the platform i.e. by signing keys and authenticating users they certainly can impersonate clients to others clients, but I doubt they can collect users private keys generated on users devices (of course they could if their app was explicitly sending private key to their servers but I doubt they do and I don't see a reason why they'd do it, in any case they don't need to do it).
Given that high-value zero days are mostly bought by governments from defense contractors and security companies.

There. Fixed that for you.
>How do you know that is the case?

Because they have described it themselves (the Go guys). From the language FAQ:

"Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson started sketching the goals for a new language on the white board on September 21, 2007. Within a few days the goals had settled into a plan to do something and a fair idea of what it would be. Design continued part-time in parallel with unrelated work. By January 2008, Ken had started work on a compiler with which to explore ideas; it generated C code as its output. By mid-year the language had become a full-time project and had settled enough to attempt a production compiler."

>I don't know the Google executive plans but it seems like to get Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson together to create a language might have/need some executive level involvement.

The agreement to let them work on it by some exec, is different than Google deciding "we need a new language, you guys go build one that fixes our pain points, and we will migrate stuff to that".

V8 or Dart for example are cases of this. Google decided the need to have those created, spend money on marketing and getting top people to work on them, built full-on documentation, marketing material, benchmarks, tools and sites for them, etc. It's the same kind of focus MS had for .NET and SUN had for Java.

Whereas Go is more like how Google had a team work on Unladen Swallow, or Apple had MacRuby, etc, mostly peripheral stuff, like a 20% project that grew up.
Very cool. That's a great example of useful and personal interaction resulting from you being the capturer of content and experiences.

But let's not blow it out of proportion. I think that for as long as cameras have existed and been in the hands of the public (which is what, over 70 years now realistically?) there have been horrible, horrible photographers. The fact that it's easy to see everyone's horrible photography now just makes it all the more evident, but that didn't stop people from losing the moment behind a lens even 50 years ago.
