Actually, yes. Just like advances in agricultural technology lead to job destruction in agriculture. We went from a majority of the global human population working in agriculture to a tiny minority in a few centuries. That labor was largely absorbed into industrial manufacturing. Manufacturing jobs have also been destroyed by automation (e.g., why a growing manufacturing sector in the US is not adding new net manufacturing jobs). The service sector has absorbed much of that labor, but on the low end, those jobs tend to be much more poorly paid and stable (which explains no income growth for the bottom 80% of the US population in 30+ years, despite a growing economy). Computers and automation are starting to eliminate service sector jobs as well (and not just on the low end). It isn't clear which "sector" will absorb this new labor unlocked by growing productivity, but it is clear to see how these change can create a growing economy but also growing inequality which can lead to a less pleasant society overall...

Obviously his "PAC" has a PR problem.

But a bigger problem is the way they are handling the immigration issue. They seem to be contracting ONLY HB1 Visas. And ignoring many other [immigration] issues that more Americans care about; like migrant workers; guest worker programs (mostly for healthcare and agriculture); a clear path to citizenship, etc, etc.

My other problem with this PAC is they aren't focused. They are backing ANWR and Keystone? Neither have anything to do with immigration. So it's clear they are trading favors for cash. Ok standard politics. But why not back Marriage Equality or the end of the Drug War, or Feeding the poor - educating the poor?

I mean is Zuckerberg about to become the next Koch brother?

I can't deny negative SEO is a worry and yes whilst Google opened up the doors for it they also recognised it and have started providing ways to hopefully protect yourself. (Disavowing links etc)

If your in a competitive market where you have to worry about negative SEO so much so that it is making an impact on your SERPs then I'm sure the web spam team would be more than interested in hearing from you

What about a crowd-sourced decentralized list of known bad-CAs or certificates known to be used by Government security services? At the very worst, it will raise some warnings and let the user think twice before connecting to that service (which may or may not be annoying), but at best it would shield users from surveillance?

Sometimes I want to post quotes to Instagram and have had a hard time finding apps that allow me to do a text overlay like yours.
Tweegram is the only other one that I have really found to allow this, but they put an ugly water mark in the lower corner of all your images.
I thought a really cool feature was the ability to move the text around to different positions. One feature I haven't ever seen implemented it the option to add your own photos to the background. I would definitely shell out 99c for that!
They pin the TLS certificate: to successfully create a connection to Twitter, their mobile apps will check not only the validity of the certificate the server presents, but also a hardcoded digest of the correct certificate, so that a "valid" certificate for Twitter from a CA Twitter has no relationship with will be rejected.
I don't know, in this case, with a bit of reformatting the switch can look pretty similar:

function processUserInput(command) {
switch (command) {
case "north": movePlayer("north"); break;
case "east": movePlayer("east"); break;
case "south": movePlayer("south"); break;
case "west": movePlayer("west"); break;
case "look": describeLocation(); break;
case "backpack": showBackpack(); break;
}
}

Although that's to be expected, a switch on a string value isn't that much different to a string lookup in an associative array.
"Many folks are stating this was a clear-cut case of violation of contract law"

Those people are wrong. Monsanto did, indeed, sue him for patent infringement, not breach of contract. The contract mentioned in the case is just his license to grow the plants from Monsanto. He was forbidden from replanting those soybeans (or other patented soybeans) by patent law because such actions exceeded the scope of his license. There is nothing at all in the opinion that refers to a contract where he agreed only to buy RR soybeans from Monsanto.
I also like that distinction. To me "big" data isn't big until there is a lot of it...and there is a definite distinction between "How many bananas were sold Tuesday?" and "Was user's LED email indicator on when xyz happened?"
That was my first thought. Alternate hypothesis: narrow measures of g show differing trends depending on cohorts' natural environment, leading Victorians who rote-learned from cane-wielding teachers to do better when tested for instant responses and modern people exposed to the visual stimuli of modern media to do much better when tested for considered pattern recognition.

Would love to be able to actually read the article though.
>You find a gene in a plant, you come up with a way to extract it and now you "own" that gene.

That depends on what sort of a patent you attempt to cover it under. If you cover it under a molecule patent, (like what myriad is doing) then that's legit, but your patent only covers the PCR product. It's pretty trivial to break such a patent.

She may have given up some (or all) control over the way Disney markets the character, that doesn't push the responsibility or blame onto her. What you've written is pretty much the same as any other 'blame the victim' excuse out there. Disney is the one in the position of power in this relationship (financing). The creator had the intention to create a non-stereotyped princess character. She created it, Pixar and Disney produced, released and marketed the movie. That character was highly praised in critiques, and now Disney has changed the character. She is now responding to their actions, as is her right,

I think you should monetize your knowledge and package it in the form of videos, ebooks, and consulting.
I have to wonder how much of this is confirmation bias. There are lots of brilliant, tenacious people, but a tiny fraction of them are billionaires. Indeed, some of the most brilliant, single-mindedly tenacious people are doing relatively poorly remunerative things like toiling away as a professor in a mathematics department somewhere.

The question isn't whether Zuck is brilliant and tenacious, but rather whether you could pick him out of a lineup of 100 similarly brilliant and tenacious people who are nonetheless not billionaires.

The prices they put of up for extra storage are exactly half of what Dropbox asks. Also, the 15GB free plan compares well to the 2GB Dropbox plan as you don't have to jump through any referral hoops (or quests), instead you get it right away.

In the long run this is a commodity and Dropbox won't be able to compete. In the short term, this is a blog post about Google upgrading a terrible "buy extra storage" page and convoluted offering that consumers up until now couldn't bother to digest.

It is an epic race between commodity and incompetence/bureaucracy it seems. Two of the most powerful forces mankind has ever produced. :)
I'd argue that "fields as a string with spaces inside, or maybe a list of strings" is changing language semantics quite a bit.

We're used to namedtuples doing it like this now, but if namedtuples didn't exist, "fields as a list of strings with spaces inside, or maybe a list of strings" would definitely not make it past code review and probably get me yelled at by my future colleagues.
> I'll even go through the discovery phase and estimate/quote out their project

I've started charging for this process. Partly because otherwise I'd spend all my time consulting for free, partly because it's a huge value add to their business, and partly one-to-many "oh great, thanks for estimating this. I took it to your competitor and now they're willing to underbid you by $5K because all the hard work is done for them." scenarios.
While shipping is a great feeling, your job is not yet complete. Now you'll need to market your app, and improve it based on customer feedback. Add more quotes. Add more themes. Polish, polish, polish! Optimize your conversions and distribution.

We have a vendor of some mailing list software that you install your save (basically a tarball of php code). If we have an issue with it, they basically refuse to help unless we give them ssh access to our server.

Stupidly we have this mailing list software running on our production web server (the same one our customers use to access our apps), so we can't do that. I mean I trust the guy to not go in an install a backdoor or delete all of our files (maybe I shouldn't trust him?) but I've always wondered what the liability is there.

Would we basically have to prove he did something malicious if our server crashed the next day or turned into a spam box?
"you know exactly what to do"

Indeed, I do, and I am doing it. Others, however, need the guidance of the sentiments we express here. It was for them, and for our industry, that I expressed this thought. If you follow michaelochurch, he's like the Angry Patrick McKenzie. He also has a flare for the dramatic. But the purpose is to raise the visibility of ideas, and to express agreement and disagreement. I have a similar track. I would like so see our industry move in the direction of entrepreneurship/leadership and away from servitude. Again with the hyperbole, but helps the message hit home. ;)
Do you have any ideas as to why or how to revitalize it? The topics are so much closer to my interests I'd love to see it get some life again.
Huh. I read the parent comment significantly different then you did. I thought he was saying that people shouldn't try to get real, living and breathing girls to be tomboys. If they want to be tomboy, that's cool. If they want to be a princess, that's cool too.

I don't think he was talking about manipulating the character, but rather manipulating the young, impressionable girls watching said character.

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.

Income yes, but profit no. Hosting is not free. You can, of course, work towards minimizing hosting costs, but time spent on that may cut into other priorities.

Of course, as mentioned above, saving time not having to support customer installations could (easily?) offset hosting costs.
Opinions like yours make me sad for all of humanity. Have you read the article? And are you willing to elaborate on your views any more?

Are you actually arguing that eschewing the default generic social stereotypes that Disney seem determined to cram down everyone's throats is equal to manipulating girls into being 'tomboys'? Are you saying that girls shouldn't be allowed to choose anything other that 'girly' activities, opinions and clothes?

Because if you are then yes, you are sexist.

>> Point taken, however, would you say the same if your client, who has some programming experience, takes your code, mucks it up and deviates from the original vision?

If my contract with them allows them to do that, then I don't really care. I do make sure that client contracts prevent them from touching code until it has been officially handed off, however.

I only said she had a small part in allowing it to happen. Corporate behaviour changes with executive turnover. The next CEO of a company may not honor promises made by previous CEOs.

I consider it naive to put any amount of trust in a corporation to rise above the wording in the contracts when it comes to "doing the right thing".
Keyword stuff is abusive, bolding all your keywords should rightly get you penalised. It's not far off the old days of stuffing the defunct meta keywords tag.

First point on googles webmaster guidelines says it all. Your chasing google, build a site for your users first, google will follow because it's in there interest to provide the most relevant content.

A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you, or to a Google employee.
Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?
I think the ramifications might be slightly deeper than that; it allows you to see if you really will get traction behind your MVP before you bust your balls over the UI, without having your site look like Craigslist.

HackerNews is the perfect example; very simple, flat, but doesn't get in the way, and allows you to use the site in a very functional way. You can add the flashy design intricacy later if you want, but I hope that most people won't. I love the simplicity.
Not very exciting news. I would've thought they'd at least increase the storage to 20 GB by now. After all it's been a year since they gave the 10 and 5 GB to those 2 services, and storage prices have dropped, while storage needs have increased. Why aren't they keeping up with it?

'In an email to the Independent Journal on Saturday, she said she has given Bob Iger, president of Walt Disney International, "a piece of my mind" for the entertainment giant's decision to glamorize the tomboy character she envisioned.'

'"There is an irresponsibility to this decision that is appalling for women and young girls," she said,'

'"When little girls say they like it because it's more sparkly, that's all fine and good but, subconsciously, they are soaking in the sexy 'come hither' look and the skinny aspect of the new version. It's horrible! Merida was created to break that mold — to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance."'

That problem is, I think, a showstopper for "anti-circumvention" tools like whatever- the- next- generation- of - Tor will be. Dictatorships have little to lose by backdooring or rootkitting devices; they'll laugh off any outrage stirred up by the discovery of these methods.

But the economics flip around in Europe, Japan, the US, &c: governments there do have something to lose by surreptitiously backdooring huge numbers of devices, and the odds are good that any efforts to do so will be detected (the state of the art for reverse engineering now includes decapsulation and imaging of electronics packages).

1. I did not find any word on -- updates, documentation, support or future upgrades from the developer. These things are more important. Who will maintain this project on long-term? And that's why SAAS based offering sells.

2. Also without a trial, I will never buy a solution, self-hosted or SAAS! I need to use it often to know that its the best-fit for my workflows.

3. And this being a company's project-management tool, should be tried and tested well: stable, secure and should work perfectly out of the box! I don't want to put time in maintaining another project. :)

4. Lock-in? Is there an import or export option from-and-to Basecamp or others?

Fellow CodeCanyon seller. Take your app from CodeCanyon, and try to reach the entreprise market.

Price your product in this way:

- single user: $79 ($49 for updates)

- agency/small business: $299 (+ $129) + $199 for optional install

That's a pretty simple pricing, and it'll make you 1,000 time more sane than putting it on CodeCanyon and fighting with dads and moms trying to setup this on their shared host with a thousand other app and site.

This month estimate earnings on CodeCanyon: 100 (sales) x $45 x 0.7 (best case) = $3,150

Support overhead: 100 person.

You'll need 20 single user license sales, and less than 6 sales in the enterprise edition. That's just 26 person to support. Don't forget that enterprise people are more inclined to give you the $200 and get the thing setup.

I did get better, but it took forever. Even months later, I had the continual runny nose. Interestingly, all of the symptoms stopped when I started taking a very low dose of Naltrexone (another opiod antagonist). It may have been coincidence, but the remaining symptoms cleared up within 72 hours. There is some evidence that, at very low doses, Naltrexone will increase dopamine production through its slight interference, which is what caused me to try it in the first place.

And now I have no idea what you mean by tomboy, since it's definitely possible to be both a tomboy in some ways, but feminine in others.

Anyway, the article characterizes her as a tomboy, and I think you'd find the word used often in reviews of the movie. Her enjoyment of archery and tramping through the outdoors over sewing and fancy dresses pretty clearly fits into any reasonable definition of the word.
