Fucking hell that's an awful post.

Lean Startup is great but you should realise the value of investing in good design. Don't go down a rabbit hole of 'big vision' design perfection straight away, sure (a $50k set of Photoshop comps before you've got product-market fit isn't a great idea) but you're not going to get very far with a fucking Unbounce template.

Hire a good designer—one who knows how to do 'early stage startup'—and flourish.

That's true enough if it's a straight choice between those two scenarios. But it's a quirk of human nature that if you try and do something 3 times a week you're less likely to stick to it than doing something every day without fail. If it's only 3 times a week then it's easy to say to yourself "I'll leave it until tomorrow".

> -1 to the logic of switching "if they implement drm": If your drmized content isn't available in FF, you'll have all incentives to come back.

No I won't. I'll either find an uncrippled version of the content -- for example on TPB -- or I simply won't look at it.

DRM is a perversion of the WWW, and Berners-Lee is wrong to allow his invention to be sullied in this way. The web has been successful because it consists of open standards which means anyone can build on it. Just as tcp/ip is an open standard and Berners-Lee didn't need anyone's permission to build http and html. Take away that openness, and you'll be destroying something very valuable.

If the MAFIAA don't like the open web and want a locked-down system, let them build their own. I'm sure it'll be every bit as successful as Windows RT or the Ford Edsel were.

I'd disagree we're on the path. We are threading deep into woods that path leads (Hello poisonous jellifishes!).

I'm not sure we can turn, back, but if by some miracle scientists are all wrong, and we aren't doomed in the near future, we still need to be extremely careful of our impact on ecosystems.
That's for the about-bar, on the bottom. You can click on it. There's Google Maps there to illustrate where the garden is located.
Full access to my private network and excessive resource consumption are two things to come to mind
I see there are some pro's like we have it somehow with Java today. Maybe we can really start an environment which suits for all browsers to run a piece of code in it, which is cross plattform compatible and makes use of all the great possibilities that we have on a linux machine. Great there!

Now the con's:
With great possibilities come great responsibilities. Where do you want to start to avoid having a super-amount of unsecure boxes? Package a ready-to-use program into the box with a "just one click in your browser to start"-button, having users who run code they never look at, from people they never saw (but for some weird reasons trust), in boxes they just one-click-download-and-run? Or did I just got something wrong?
It is natural language processing example. But i think still it is a long way to go.
Ultimately you have to choose between a scarcity economy and systematic birth control. No possible technological advance can keep up with an exponential growth curve. And the birth control system has to have active eugenic measures, otherwise a genetic collapse can sweep through the population. (The AI servants do not care whether they look after 10 billion genius athletes or 10 billion brainstems in automated nursing homes.)
Definitely nothing, but I have always been curious about how long DNA can rest preserved.
Well, hey, if you don't have an argument...
Is there any a real use of it ?
Github has helped make programming a bit more meritocratic I guess, but it's not like it's destroyed the relative value of a degree from Stanford or Harvard.

And it's only made headway in computer science jobs.
Perhaps we need to be smarter about how we use it. Currently electricity is used to extend daylight hours for leisure, to do work that humans used to do, in places for transport and many other things, but we could certainly be using it more efficiently.
It's not entirely reasonable to expect everything to work identically well when you're comparing the most widely installed client OS on the planet with something even most developers on niche-of-a-niche toy OS projects probably haven't heard of.
Firebug is much better.

- Tools like YSlow and PageSpeed require Firebug.

- You can't disable the browser cache from FF devtools, which really sucks when you are trying to debug a broken redirect.

- When inspecting an element in FF devtools, :before and :after CSS properties will not be shown. I wasted many hours debugging a CSS refactor because of this (imagine going up the DOM, comparing computed CSS properties until you reach the root). Both Firebug and Chrome devtools will show :before and :after properties.

I think Firebug and the Chrome devtools are comparable in quality.
Not the parent, but I found it incredibly useful as well. The thing is, I would always forget it existed, and so its utility was kind of low for me. I was blown away when I first hooked everything up to it, then barely touched it until they pivoted, at which point I lost interest and disconnected all my accounts from them.

A shame, but not sure how to solve that problem.
Yes you can use it as android app in phones.

You're conflating stupidity with poor taste, but they're clearly independent. Consider the Wu-Tang Clan's lyrics which are more intelligent and have a level of wordplay that is non-existent in rock music, but at the same time can be the most offensive thing you've ever heard.
Privacy not Prism – UK legal challenge
Movies are probably the most easily justifiable for DRM. They aren't the sorts of 'products' that people watch over and over again (unless they get a cult following).

A single viewing of a movie reduces the value to a point where it may not be purchased. That's why distributors release them in as many stunted, protected, phases as possible - they want a return on their investment before it becomes relatively worthless.
Reason I'm curious about how everyone was using Greplin is because we are working on something that addresses the same problem at https://starthq.com and I think we cracked the "forgetting it's there" problem.

MIT inventor creates cube robots with no external moving parts
> From 1938 to 1945, war created that demand. From 1946 to 1981, prosperity, rising wages, and advertising created that demand. From 1982 to 2007, debt fuelled consumption financed by ever rising asset prices created that demand.

The next phase of US prosperity will be fueled by Asian immigration. They want to spend their money on college fees and houses, cars and city apartments, legal fees and taxes. They kept Australia, NZ, and Canada afloat for the last 20 yrs, but they prefer America. By 2050, half of all Americans might be ethnic Asians.
Visibility Shift In Distributed Teams
You assume the reasons for your throwaway account are obvious, but they aren't to me. Is it because you objectify and dehumanize women for money, or because the content you serve is addictive and distorts people's views on relationships? All of the above?
Yes they will, except that they will automatically enter sleep unless they are plugged in, which is not always the case. And I am not going to change my power settings to not sleep with the lid closed just so I can turn the display off - it's daft, there should be an option to do that in the displays menu. And even if you turn the brightness all the way down the display is still active, it's just the backlight that is off.

Raspberry Web Server
I'm still trying to figure out how we go from "UA streams encrypted content to EME plugin -- oops, sorry, 'extension' -- and EME extension streams decrypted content back to browser" to 'View Source' being prohibited, copy-paste of text demanding micropayments to complete, dogs and cats marrying each other, and Satan going to and fro on the earth.
I dislike this. Now sites will just say "View this site in Internet Explorer" and I'll have to boot a virtual machine to legally view the content. Well, if I ever get sued for it I guess I can always say Hollywood should provide me with a Windows license.
The thing about not auto-correcting abortion is, I speculate, actually because it'd be really unpopular if other misspellings were mis-corrected to read abortion. I think there's likely a short blacklist of words that are in the dictionary but aren't auto-corrected to.

Webkit-based browsers are ubiquitous

Are they? All the corporate guys I know that jumped on Chrome jumped to (..) IE10 now.

Everyone else still uses Firefox around me and wonders why someone would ever install a browser from an advertisement company.

Have you used Firefox on Android? I've to admit that running Aurora is kind of hardcore (daily updates..?), but - wow. It's not just a really good browser, it's beautiful on top of that.

I'm really looking forward to see devices with that OS nobody will care about - because all alternatives suck or died (WebOS was promising, so was Maemo/Meego. I'm also interested in sailfishOS).

Your whole comment is weird. Your claims make no sense from this point and I have to disagree with literally every single line you wrote here.

My hope is that FF/Mozilla _will_ pledge not to implement any of these idiotic ideas.
If the IQ-mutation load hypothesis[1] is true, the sea of slums problem will be taken care of by trivial genetic engineering. Smart people with good software are pretty good at entertaining themselves and making do with basic resources.

[1] The hypothesis is that the baseline human genome encodes a master race, but has been spoiled by a handful of mutations. Fix the mutations with "simple" proofreading and out pops a race of handsome, athletic geniuses.
Good point. But it is a key point that making reviews is part of your job as researched and you MUST take it very seriously. I received so many reviews poorly written, just few lines saying "OK for me". I really think that this way of reviewing is wrong. Reviewers should take care in their job and they should be ready to face a public discussion on why they decided to accept a paper.

Note that IMHO is OK to be anonymous while refusing a paper because otherwise a reviewer may be put under lot of pressure.

I like the idea of having your private Github. Relying on some company far away to keep their servers running (while having a bullseye for DDoS painted on itself it seems) for larger commercial projects always turned me off a bit.

We teach young people how to manage money. Using ground-breaking payment technology combined with beautiful and simple apps we teach 8 - 18 year olds how to save, budget and spend responsibly. We believe that if you put young people in the driving seat, they learn valuable life-long lessons.

Our team have worked at companies like Spotify, Zipcar, M-Pesa and McKinsey, and we have successful and influential investors and advisors on board with highly relevant backgrounds who are helping us achieve our vision.

We are looking for folks who were geeky about money when they were kids (their lemonade stand went international!) and understand how technology can be used to empower and educate. We are building a team that is passionate about building simple and delightful front end experiences, sophisticated but elegant backends, and never forgets that the user comes first.

Children watch movies VERY MANY TIMES. They also manage to destroy the physical media.

I'm not sure what the law is about making a backup of the disc (is backup exempted, or am I circumventing an effective copyright measure?) but morally I think it's okay to make a back up of a DVD.

Having said that, I'm on my 3rd DVD of Despicable Me.
Sorry about that. Could you please let us know what browser you're currently using?
I interpreted that comment as lamenting the evolution of rap (i.e., how the rise of gangsta rap made it a very different genre from what it started as in the late 1970s and the 1980s), not comparing it unfavorably to other popular music genres.
This has been my experience too. Also the search bar is fantastic in Firefox.
Would love to look at some screenshots and judge usability.
Not to mention fear of lobotomies - I remember watching Shutter Island and wondering what they actually did during a lobotomy and doing some quick research and being deeply disturbed by descriptions of what was involved.

By making it a part of a "standard", you help spreading the disease. Right now, the fact that DRM is implemented via Flash paints it as 'painful-to-use'. Once you implement it without the pain that is Flash, you have removed the barrier that is slowing the spread of DRM.
I would go with none of the above. Whether or not anything you said is true (I'm doubtful but I haven't researched the subject) I would guess the reason of his burner is the stigma associated with the industry and the effects it could have on his other ventures / personal life.

The reason his industry exists is because people want it. A similar, if not worse, industry is tobacco, yet it doesn't have the same proliferation as pornography for a good reason, not as much demand. It is just as addictive and even more destructive. You also have marijuana, which is laughably easy to get in California (legally) and Amsterdam, it also is not as widespread as pornography.

If people did not want it, it would not exist.
Will be interesting to play around with that dataset.
Doesn't VLC, MPlayer etc bundle h264? How can you say they aren't open source?
I can use a closed platform (because webkit is super closed...) and advocate for open source.
You could say the above about most TV series.

Maybe it's because she/he is paid much more than the actual value her/his technical contribution, like most of the programmers servicing simple user sites, and wants to protect her/his niche?

Macromedia were the last decent competitor in the 2D design space, then Adobe bought them. I was sad to see it happen, and I can see Photoshop has only gotten more bloated and nonsensical as time goes on.

I hope some bold entrepreneur brings out some software to seriously compete with Creative Suite because the market sorely needs it.
I am not the author nor have I tried it yet myself. Still downloading the war (yeah I am on a slow wire).

But it's hugely appealing that
1. It's written in Scala. (A language I am familiar with)
2. It's packaged as a single file; download and run. I like single file installs. YouTrack by JetBrains is another example.
I suspect it's mostly because any association with pornography is considered to taint one's professional reputation outside that business, and at least somewhat because mentioning, without shame, any personal involvement in erotica or pornography -- be it tangential and innocuous as it may -- tends to provoke Internet feminists into hurling overheated accusations of being the next thing to a slave factor.

The former reason suffices quite well on its own, but the latter is not entirely inconsiderable, much as one tends to choose among the sturdiest of one's footwear when dressing for a visit to one's friend the chihuahua breeder.

(The sheer, blinding gall of flinging vitriol at a declared and justified sockpuppet, under the guise of an undeclared sockpuppet, I shall leave uncommented save briefly noting the fact of it; while I know your ilk of old and thus suspected your hypocrisy on the instant, readers lucky enough to lack such experience probably wouldn't be so likely to spot it on their own.)
It is great to see more crowdsourcing data getting open sourced.

I haven't read the research but I'm assuming he used a fairly unrestricted crowd. I'd be interested to use the crowd to rate sentiment analysis results from this model vs. CrowdFlower's Senti to see how the model fares against a specialized sentiment analysis crowd. I would be very surprised if the model won. I am willing to run a comparison if there is sufficient interest in the data.
In Windows 8 there are two different keyboard shortcuts to move windows between displays depending on whether you are in desktop or metro mode. That's a bit of a downer. It still doesn't address the use case where I have a monitor turned off. Blindly trying to grab windows in the dark isn't clever.

I have a desktop PC connected to my TV in one room, with a HDMI cable, and a monitor in the other. I'd like to just play games and use media centre on either monitor. But I can't do this easily. The current fudge of a solution is to yank the cables out of the back of the PC or swap them over. Which is a pain, as I want the machine hidden away. I'd like to easily control where the audio ends up aswell, but that's another topic. Actually ideally, I'd like my partner to be able to use media-centre, while I'm using the other monitor in the room next door. I don't think that's a wild idea.

A lot of good ideas have been kicking about in various window managers and add ons for a decade. So why not steal and implement these ideas with a little polish?

I have similar issues under Linux, but if I could be bothered I could probably at least script it.

If somethnig like a Ubuntu Edge, gets traction, than it will be really important to get this kind of thing working correctly.

I like the way OSX detects monitors, and I like the way you can easily arrange the displays, but there's still an assumption that you'll be keeping them all on.

It's painful to watch people use multi-monitor setups, which is a shame because using them could be far more intuitive and productive. I'm intrigued to read more about the changes in Mavericks.
Check out GitLab[1] - it's pretty well developed and recently hit v6.

Point noted! Thanks.
Yes, that's an issue too but what I specifically meant by that was mainly that you can install wrappers round the provided Webkit, but not, for example, Mozilla's gecko, Opera's presto, or Google's Blink browser engine or even your own spin on Webkit. So saying that Webkit is ubiquitous isn't saying as much about webkit's inherent quality or Mozilla's mistakes as it would if there was a free choice in the matter.
Chrome already implements it [1], it's in your browser right now.

I personally use Safari, but if Mozilla supports this pledge, I'll move back.

The argument that as something has been around for long time makes it acceptable was neatly deflated by a counter example of something awful that has been around for ages that is definitely not desirable.

Plus, it was funny. Absurdity often highlights problems in arguments.
I dislike DRM in all of its forms, and hope that Mozilla does take a stance against having it in FF, but I agree with this sentiment.

I don't want to own a movie, I want to watch it.
I don't want to own music, I want to listen to it.

What I don't agree with is the assumption from content producers that DRM is particularly useful. If the content is displayed on a screen or played out speakers, DRM isn't going to work.

Really? What kind of jobs do you think people are not adapting into? Twitter hashtag analysts?

I would that argue that since the 70's, technology has mostly improved the stuff at the top of Maslow's pyramid - entertainment, communication, computation - while the stuff at the bottom (housing, food, clothing, energy) has been fairly stagnant.
Except it will hurt things a great deal. DRM already causes a great deal of harm, helping to propagate it into a standard to make it more widespread will cause a great deal of harm.
No. What is missing is batteries. Remember, photovoltaics only work part of the day, and not every day. Same with wind.

In reality, what is happening is that because of "alternative" sources of energy, electricity is plentiful during the day, and scarce during the evening. Also, only turbines (hydro/thermo power plants) can be adjusted to keep current and voltage in the network constant, so we still need them, but because of the "green" sources, they are becoming less profitable for the operators.

TL;DR: alternative energy sources cause us to have too much electricity during the day and too little during the evening, both of which is costing us money.
