You are confused by the smoke. A law was recently passed with little discussion that protects Monsanto. This law has nothing to do with district-by-district, Davy Crockett, ideology, good intentions, Australia or any of the other issues you have raised. It simply has to do with lawmakers passing laws for those who provide money to them to be re-elected - as Lessig pointed out.
This article isn't new, but it's been on my mind lately. And whereas Stanislav is primarily interested in inventing a new Lisp machine from scratch, I'd like to understand the actual reasons why desktop computers have become noticeably slow despite ever-increasing hardware speeds.

That is a factor as others have mentioned, but mostly I meant it is just that many mobile devices don't support 5GHz. And you can't just add a cheap USB dongle. That is starting to change though, so check the specs on your devices.

Wait, what?
The big ticket companies make exclusive arrangements with these rooms. They pay them just to not work with others. So if a company gives you 30 grand a year to stay away from anybody else, you need it. We didn’t attack their territory. We just went to places that they didn’t care about.

This is a strategy IAC uses with a lot of their companies, including Ticketmaster. Barry Diller started out at Paramount Pictures, so he brings with him the same type of thinking that fuels the MPAA and RIAA. "The solution isn't innovation, let's just keep people doing whatever they've been doing. If we have to sue our customers, so be it."

I think it's awesome when guys like Louis C.K. go outside of the system and as a result end up gaining a lot of leverage and power as a result. I remember Trent Reznor doing the same thing.
Well then you have people like Ze Frank.
Sure, but neither is open source.
Selling stuff that can't handle IPv6 isn't foolish, it just makes you a leech on society, since everyone else will have to clean up your mess. Buying such equipment, on the other hand, is quite foolish.
Thinking about ad injection, it is actually quite scary what a ISP can do. Not only is it easy to display ads (or possibly even malware), but even worse my ISP is installed as a default CA by Firefox. So that they can even inject into SSL connections, with the only "warning" that the certificate was signed by the ISP...
Is this nVidia's driver? Or some random code that can draw a solid color triangle on a tegra? Where's the shader compiler backend and the rest of libGLESv2?
> From the start it seems Lessig is attacking the symptom rather than the cause.

You are, how shall I say this, late to the party.

You should probably read some of Lessig's works - I suggest Republic, Lost - which very directly and at great length address this.

Also you should probably not read works of fiction about historical personages such as Davey Crockett and then believe that they represent, well, anything.

Who is your ISP, and what CA cert do they have installed?

The thought of an ISP having CA certs that are a part of default installs is unnerving.
"the people who designed the hardware, software and network infrastructure you're reading this on"

The article implies that everything gets "done" by introverts, to which I call "bullshit"(unless the point was to show that being an arrogant prick isn't a function of being introverted or extroverted). Studies have show that for leadership at least, extreme intro/extro-version is a bad thing while being more moderate (i.e. knowing when to speak up and when to listen) is an asset.
I've used Flipboard in the past, but what I wasn't a fan of was it's lack of organization. It's new "Magazines" feature looks close to what I'm looking for, but not quite, unless I'm missing something.

I don't want to add content to a magazine, but rather feeds. Perhaps I'm overlooking this, but it doesn't appear to let you add, say, your family's different social media accounts spanning all networks into a single magazine. Rather, it lets you add their individual posts into a magazine for reading later. I'd prefer telling Flipboard "Hey, put ALL of this person's individual posts from Facebook, and their Twitter account, and Tumblr, and Instagram, and etc., in this magazine, that also does the same for these other people."

Flipboard is coming mighty close though. Thanks for the tip.
Should it really be called Mad Men? Or instead, Mad Women?
Version 2 was a free update for 1.x users, as opposed to being released as a new app, as some developers choose to release major updates as.
It looks more like the very beginnings of a reverse-engineered driver effort.

The current shader "backend" (that is, a microcode assembler) is at https://github.com/grate-driver/grate/tree/master/src/libcgc. Shader compilation would be done by mesa. The rest of libGLESv2 seems unimplemented for now.
China’s Cube Already Has An iPad 5 Clone
I think individual copyright is reasonable for one's lifetime. I'd be ticked if somebody used my photos from 10 years ago for profit.

Corporate or collective works, though, I agree. I think a 7-year expiration would be fine. I expect that approximately zero investment decisions on new movies or TV shows turn on the money they expect to make in year 8. And even without copyright, modern studios are adept at producing new versions and higher-end editions that would get new 7-year terms.
I have always wondered how long it would take for this sort of behaviour to kick off.

This is to the internet what global warming is to the earth... well that might be too far, but this is high tech pollution at its worst.

Patent troll Lodsys sues 10 mobile game makers, despite Apple’s intervention
As exciting as this is to be posted on a high-volume website, I honestly doubt CMA is going to change their practices on this issue.

If anything, the Acceptable Use Policy change on the 4th was a sign that they'd be reluctant to change their stance on this issue at all. They honestly don't care.
I can't find any of the "before" images, though I clicked through and around his site, watched his videos, and googled for images (of course, people want to show off their "after" images, not the "before"). I guess they are just ordinary photos, but it would be nice to see what the app actually does - that would be much more compelling than seeing how you can change colours etc.

lesson: optimizing every little thing won't make you fail if the important things are basically right.

So 'tie ratio' is basically number of games sold per hardware unit? Interesting. For example, North America seems to buy about 50% more games per unit than Japan, with the exception of the PS1 and (S)NES.

That is why you always tell the installer that you do not have a PC or a Mac. Never let them touch your computers.
Facebook eventually addressed the issue by making the site accessible over HTTPS—though, as the authors of the 2008 paper note, HTTPS can be a "rigid and costly" solution.

This same excuse has existed for about as long as HTTPS, which dates to Netscape Navigator 1. Is it still that "rigid and costly"? Is there a technical reason that this is an unsolvable problem?

Considering the increase in computer and network speed over the last decade and a half, it seems strange that this would still be the case. Perhaps it's just that without pressure from competitors there is no pressure on the sites to solve it?
I love this comment reply from the OP's post. Reminds me of the advice (not mine) I pass along to clients that if you write original, compelling content, you don't have to ever worry about SEO.

Red meat chemical 'damages heart', say US scientists
A study in the journal Nature Medicine showed that carnitine in red meat was broken down by bacteria in the gut.

This kicked off a chain of events which resulted in higher levels of cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease.

Dieticians warned there may be a risk to people taking carnitine supplements.
I agree with those definitions, especially after reading "Quiet". It's a book that I highly recommend to anyone that has to work with other people, especially people who manage other people.
> The more out of date your technology stack is the more you lose out on great libraries and best practices.

Peculiarly, I don't feel this with Common Lisp (30 years old and counting). I think part of that is the fact that CL has been a standard: there are no out of date libraries due to age and drift, only libraries that are not useful for current problems or libraries that have been neglected.

I think that when you focus on technologies that have become stable and build your platform on them, you have a much more solid system than building on shifting technologies.

I have no background in crypto stuff, but the main issues seem to be (a) SSL virtually requires buying certificates so small/hobby sites won't use it, (b) it involves multiple round-trips and latency is never going to go away unless someone invents faster-than-light communication, and (c) part of what makes encryption work is that it's computationally hard on today's hardware; when it's not, we move to a different algorithm that is, so the computational cost to using encryption versus not using encryption will always be there.

Right... for a real attack, you'd have to hide the evil commands near the end of the normal-looking one (the string you see there is truncated). I thought about doing that, but it'd give you a few seconds to react in this example because you'd have the git command run first. Hmm, maybe it'd be doable using backticks or so? Those could be put at the end and would evaluate first anyway...
The End of Everything
This is probably the best counter-argument to the best counter-argument that gets leveled at the people promoting HTTPS-everywhere. People like to say that HTTPS everywhere would break transparent cacheing by ISPs. After all, HTTP is designed to allow caching proxies to exist inline and still supports dynamic content gracefully (er, somewhat, anyway).

But in fact the same features that make transparent caching easy make this kind of shenanigans easy. There are tons of companies in this space now. Not just people like NebuAd and R66T, but lots of "subscriber messaging systems" like FrontPorch (which I've heard sells messaging data for behavioral advertising) and PerfTech (which has assured me that they do no such thing).

This should be an easy way to push back one of the last "real" arguments against using HTTPS everywhere. There's no excuse not to be running your site on HTTPS all the time - it protects you and your users from all sorts of mischief for a minimal overhead.

I'm glad that, unlike the previous comment thread, you decided not to refer to Ember as "the North Korea of the JavaScript world."

> This presumes that the unregulated results will be better.

I'm not saying it would be better, I'm saying that if the goal is to get rid of regulatory capture (and that's your only goal), you need to get rid of the regulatory apparatus.

If you do have regulation, you need to accept that capture is a characteristic of it and design around that. It's engineering. If you use a particular type of metal for a pipe, it has advantages and disadvantages and you have to design around them. Just wishing for the perfect pipe doesn't get you anywhere.
Thanks, $.99 was right for 1.0, but I feel that changing the price to $1.99 for version 2.0 was correct:

-A lot of work went into the update and I will continue to offer free updates for as long as I can afford to. The price went up for new users to reflect the effort put into the new version, and also to reward people who bought 1.0 on the faith that there would be future updates.

-Although there is a novelty aspect to the processing, I do my own computer graphics research and take it seriously. Doing my own R&D is more time consuming than adapting other people's research. As a bonus, using original research is the best way to stay unique—and valuable. :)

-Raising the price to $1.99 is an intentional strategy to curb impulse buys and by consequence, bad customer reviews because of misunderstandings. With my previous app, I raised the price and the quality of reviews went up. I believe that the price increase makes people do a double-check before hitting Buy. I would much rather have a few happy customers than a lot of disgruntled ones. :)

-I rarely put my apps on sale, but when I do, I can go down to $.99 from $1.99, which I can't do if the app was $.99 all the time. I want to make sure that I'm always in the charts—my apps have been holding their own for months around position 100 in the photo category. I would only consider a sale if they dropped below the top 200.
> part of what makes encryption work is that it's computationally hard on today's hardware; when it's not, we move to a different algorithm that is, so the computational cost to using encryption versus not using encryption will always be there.

It's computationally hard to crack. To be useful, it necessarily has to be easier to use than to circumvent.
Chris Coyier (CSS-Tricks) provided personal insight into this similar position last week. As an introvert, I've heard it before, but it is always helpful to be reminded that I'm not that unusual at all:

> The truth about the difference between introverts and extroverts lies in how personal energy is used and gained. Introverts need a lot of recharging time to gain energy. Being out-and-about, especially in social situations, is draining. Alone time is the only way to get that energy back. For me, it’s a lot of alone time. Not sitting in a dark cave staring at the wall, but somewhere comfortable where I can do other activities I enjoy. Laying on a hotel bed catching up on the internet totally counts. At home cooking dinner totally counts. Even reading a book at a coffee shop counts.
Telekom ( actually T-Online, the German ISP branch). The certificate is identified as T-Systems (and I just found another one, Deutsche Telekom AG). Additionally looking through the certificates I found at least Swisscom who appear to have both a CA and an ISP, and AOL. But this is certainly not an exhaustive list but just the ones that caught my eye scrolling through the list of CAs.

[EDIT]And for the added 'told you so,' the German parliament uses precisely this certificate https://www.bundestag.de/

Unless they changed the law recently, certain roads you need to walk your bike, such as "The Drag" and Congress Ave. Yes you do see a lot of hipsters riding around the East 6th Street area. Generally speaking it's not a pedestrian friendly state, Texans joke they can tell you're from another state if you walk further than 20 feet. Because there's no coastline, everything is spread out. Goes with the "Everything is bigger in Texas" mantra.

Really I don't dislike Austin. I moved here about 10 years ago. You will hear some Texans complain about rude Californians moving here. But it makes sense why you're moving here. Lower taxes = more jobs. Just about everything is more expensive in California. I don't know what the situation is in California lately but from reading the headlines, sounds like the government is broke. Texas is more conservative. For example, "State legislators in Texas make $600 per month, or $7,200 per year" vs. "members of the California legislature are paid $95,291 per year" Wikipedia.
I wonder why looking for a idea on the actually percent of people in each I can't find any idea on what it actually is on the interwebs, they all differ and top results aren't seeming to link peer review articles.
