I totally agree with you that it should be considered good practice to host one's data outside one own country, so that we're preserved for any deviant paranoia government may happen to have (and other government would probably care less of individual data if you're not from their country).

All countries are not equals, though. China and US are known to have no regard for privacy, and are prone to violent actions - so I'd rather chose an other country. Of course, we can't expect any country to behave good, simply because we have no mean to know it. But we can expect countries with no aggressive reputation and with low budget to be less dangerous.

Good idea! I was also thinking of adding song lyrics, starting with Queen maybe.
Non-increasing wages is a statistical mirage, not a statement which is a truthful depiction of on-the-ground reality. The overwhelming experience of actual, countable persons is that their wages have increased substantially. The only reason this does not raise the aggregate wage is because too many people have increased from $0 to a number which is, relative to the average, low. (You occasionally see this in larger economy statistics, often as a result of immigration, by the way. "Wages are frozen since the 70s!" is not all that true -- wages are way up for Mexicans who are now Americans, mildly up for Americans who are still Americs, etc.)

That argument would make sense if PayPal charged a lower fee for bank withdrawals. They don't. They "gouge" merchants just the same.

It's literally a case of using UI to steer customers towards a method that's worse for customers and no better for merchants.
IANAL, but I am an Android programmer.

This kind of language exists in multiple other places in the Android docs for things that are more clearly suggestions. There's not enough consistency, plain and simple, but in the absence of clear "this is a requirement to be in the Play store" language, I absolutely, 100% interpret this as a guideline.

These are "should" and "should not" things, and things which you obviously must do to meet the guidelines are mentioned. To be clear about ads, you must be clear about ads, and you should be clear about ads.

Besides, they can already pull your app for basically any reason. This is just additional buffer, and it's something very few apps do, which includes e.g. Youtube which includes no such EULA when you launch it, no "opt in", it just shows ads on videos when they deem it valuable.
Do you know where the court judgement can be found? It's likely "Bodine v. Enterprise High School", but all I can find are people commenting about the case, and they aren't all consistent.

For example, according to most accounts, the robber was not being chased by the police but instead was trying to steal a (or several) light fixture(s), and the police weren't involved until after the thief fell.

Actually, researching further, it doesn't seem that there is a court judgement. It looks like the suit was settled out of court, so it's "successful" only in the sense that the plaintiff received money, and not in the sense of being awarded that money.

So, I'm not sure what lesson there is from that case. Can you elaborate? After all, no matter how many labels there might be, anyone can file a lawsuit.

Also, that court case was during the 1980s, and deals with specifics of California law which have since changed. How does this 30 year old non-case affect business decisions now?

Anatomy of a Tragedy

Ok, I'm not engaging with your hypothetical, so I'm just going to answer the relevant stuff.

A) This guy did not "build a service that piggy backs off another". Certainly not more than every other site-monitoring tool, none of which any reasonable site operator objects to. And if they do, there is a technical solution that is pretty simple.

B) The tone of that quote is totally dickish. You might not be surprised to get that, but this guy was surprised, and most people would be. As a fan of Tumblr, he made something for other fans of Tumblr. The proper human response to that is either "Thanks!" or "Thanks, but that's a problem because..." Not some sort of freak-out.

C) Your whole made-up interaction is pure fiction, unrelated to anything anybody has said. Your initial argument was about trademark enforcement, so I have no idea where any sort of "service piggybacking" is coming from.

D) Tumblr were jerks first, so this guy putting up a notice that is mildly jerky is not an unreasonable response.

Also, I just don't get why you're pursuing this so heavily. Given the way you were a) told you were wrong by an expert, b) are getting a lot of push-back on your arguments, and c) are getting downvoted, maybe you should take that a a sign to pause for a while.

You seem to have done some good stuff, but this vigorous defense of callous corporate intimidation is off-putting. Like Dylan said, you should really listen to yourself.
I'm currently at the $10 threshold and live with a slightly older roommate whose threshold is more in your current range.

Going out to restaurants, shopping, and general errands are so different for us. I help him out a lot so when we do things I listed he usually covers my meals and everything but I'm still in my lower threshold thinking.

Going to the grocery store and spending $300, to the hardware store and dropping $400, picking up some car part for $100 in a single day and he doesn't bat an eye. I would have exhausted an entire month or more of pay in one day if I did something like that.

Going to a restaurant and seeing a meal costs me, say, 2 hours of work requires me to think about it. If my roommate is covering it might only be 20 minutes of work.

The differences are amazing.

Really? I thought that Spanish does distinguish between 'b' and 'v', but the South American Spanish has the sounds the other way around than continental Spanish?

Interestingly, my native language is Czech, and it makes it rather easy to learn English and Spanish, because the only sound that's missing is English 'th' in three or think, which people here pronounce like 't' or 'f' and "I fink" sounds pretty horrible :)

I understand that Spanish has to be really hard for English speakers, because of things like words changing shape because of gender, and stuff, but the usual English/American pronunciation of Spanish 'j' (or 'x') is terrible. I had to laugh at Lady Gaga singing about some Alexandro, making up about three different ways to pronounce it, not a single one correct. It's not difficult sound!

Talking about difficult sounds, try this one: [1] it's fun :)

> the robber was not being chased by the police

I didn't say that. I said he was escaping the police, which he surely was.

> so it's "successful" only in the sense that the plaintiff received money ...

That was true because of the threat of a court proceeding, in the context of a very litigous society. The thief wasn't a formal plaintiff, just an actual one. The money settlement was less than what would have resulted from a court proceeding, both parties knew this but accepted it for different reasons.

> So, I'm not sure what lesson there is from that case. Can you elaborate?

Certainly. A thief was injured while committing a crime. He sued the people he was robbing and won. It's hard to make it more dramatic than a bare recitation of the facts provides.

> How does this 30 year old non-case affect business decisions now?

* The fact that it was settled out of court doesn't mean there was no case. If that had been true, there wouldn't have been a settlement.

* The litigous environment to which this case history refers has gotten worse, not better.
Again, I've just skimmed a couple of presentations, so I could be off. That said, the tech definitely looks novel.

One application that comes to mind is human rights abuse reporting. Let's suppose I get 100 volunteers in the field with software based on this. Some of them are agents of the abusive regime; most are sincere. All communications are monitored by the government. If I read the presentation correctly, anybody can submit an incident report that we can be sure came from one of the probably-trusted, but that can't be traced back to an individual.

Another application they mention is secure voting. Let's say you're part of a cabal like WikiLeaks. You could use it to do untraceable but reliable internal anonymous voting on whether a given document gets released or not.
I have no idea what that phrase means.

My point was that I don't think someone else needs to ask my permission to use the my name or my company's name first, but likewise I don't think they should be surprised (let alone indignant) when I ask them knock it off, politely or not. This is doubly true if they're being a bit cheeky and they know it.

Honestly, if I'm running a site premised on integrating with another service in a particular way without that service's buy-in, I'm going to expect at some point they'll get in touch with me. If I'm doing something I know they won't like, I'm going to expect that contact will come in the form of something between a strongly-worded email and a C&D.

We're talking about a C&D here. This is not some life-ending legal apocalypse. He could simply choose not to respond. He could pay an attorney $100 for an hour of his time if he felt that was too big a risk and learn about nominative use.

I just don't think this rises to the level of moral outrage everyone else seems to think it does. I'm not defending Tumblr, but I don't think what they did was beyond the pale.

Yeah, it's so obvious that Buckyballs are dangerous compared to other small items that can be swallowed, that there are people in every HN or Slashdot discussion who fail to grasp it, including this one:

"A quick search of: kid swallow lego Returns about 1.9 million results on google, I'm guessing more kids swallow legos, where is the recall order there?"

"Unless you have a gastric bypass they should be attracted to each-other in the stomach, before going anywhere where you can squeeze stuff, well assuming they where eaten during the same time."

Edit - same in the Wall Street Journal comments section:

"Anyway, what's wrong with kids eating magnets? Wouldn't they be the same as eating BB's or ball bearings? If we banned everything that kids eat, we'd have to ban dirt because kids eat a lot of that too. "

"So any toy or object smaller than a human mouth must be banned because it might be ingested by a child? How about Legos? How about marbles? Do we get rid of coins?"

Your note on chargebacks supports my point: Paying by card is better for the consumer. PayPal's trick UI steers them away from that.

No-fly list is a gross violation of basic human rights; i can't imagine why a relatively conservative U.S. society tolerate that. Worst part of it is that the airlines are private, government should not be able to tell private enterprises who can be their client and who can't. For (real or imaginary) government-controlled airlines, they are OK. I still doubt they do much to counter terrorism, every self-respecting terrorist should have a few fake passports anyways. More of a good tool for bullying dissidents.

As for air travel security overall, i am starting to think what we have in this field now is about what terrorists wanted to achieve: a gross overreaction based on panic.

I don't understand the need to be on a contract :)

I guess, that's just a thing that I won't understand because I'm not American.
Although your argument could be correct, I am unconvinced:

Everyone sees their wages increase substantially, as they gain experience. This does not mean that wages are increasing.

Inflationary effects should be taken into account - wages should at least increase with inflation. Everyone seems satisfied to receive a 5% pay increase, even if that is a freeze in real terms.

If wages were indeed frozen since the 70s, your actual countable people may not notice due to the above two effects. I gather that you understood that, but I thought it worth making clear.

Your argument boils down to the idea that wage figures are biased by the fact there are more new entrants into STEM careers than there were in the past. Do you have evidence for that? I suggest (based on the graduate figures) this may not be the case.

On your point about Mexicans creating low paid work:
I would assume that immigrants are now doing jobs that Americans used to do - so it's not that they have created additional low paid work that biases the statistics, it's just that they have taken over a portion of the low paid work.
So, I think this should not be taken into account in the stats.

It's noteworthy that in order to win vs Germany we had to kill the vast majority of their army.

This appears to be untrue. I found lots of figures; here's one set: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#Militar...

I can't think of any modern decisive conflicts that resulted in political change that didn't also require destroying the majority of the opposing army except Vietnam.

In WWI, the majority of the army of the defeated was alive after the war. Likewise WWII. Spanish Civil War. Falklands War. On and on and on and on, decisive conflict after decisive conflict in which the majority of the defeated army is not dead.

I believe that sentence no verb.
As far as I'm aware, it's always been possible to breach the veil of corporate limited liability under certain circumstances precisely because of people doing what Craig Zucker did: earning money in a way that incurs huge liabilities or potential liabilities, for example by selling a popular but unsafe product, then transferring all the corporation's money to themselves in an attempt to avoid paying for those liabilities.

Eh, that's pretty pricey! Happy to recommend a good IP attorney who will charge less than that if anyone is looking, without requiring a retainer. :P

As an entrepreneur, I don't want to spend that $450 either, but I especially don't want to have to spend more later. I'm going to send a C&D and stop thinking about it. There's very little downside to sending one but a potentially big downside for not sending one. I'd do this if I were big, medium, or small.

If that makes me a dick, well, I'll cop to it, I guess!

Actually, I'll say personally that I'd first ask them politely via email and follow up with a C&D if they refused, but in a world where there were dozens of such things happening at any given moment, I'd no longer think it worth my time to ask each and everyone personally and just ask my attorneys to handle it. My point was that Tumblr's behavior was not outrageous, IMO.

Alas, I'm obviously in the minority on this.
