I read the documents. The one about NewsBuletin seems like it should be a no-brainer. Someone copied the blog posts, posted them on a fake domain, made to look like NewsBulletin, then issued take-down notices as if he owned them, and they were from the real site.
Yeah, Maple's actual language is hideously slow. The functions within it seem to run pretty quick, but we were always tought that the moment you wanted to do a loop you should fire up Matlab and do it in that.

The reason I mention Maple is because I found it spectacularly easy to use when I first picked it up, as long as you think like a math student instead of a programming student.
I think there's a place for SimpleLegal and services like it, but when it comes to managing professional service fees, some things are worth pointing out:

1. In many cases, clients have themselves to blame for "unnecessary" costs. Lots of clients fail to educate themselves on legal issues before they engage with their attorneys, so interactions are lengthier than they need be, and often some work that clients can do themselves (organization and preparation of materials, etc.) gets offloaded to the law firm. Many costly litigation matters arise because clients aren't proactive on the prevention front.

2. Clients often choose the wrong providers. The OP writes:

"Buried in those 200 pages were charges from a law student. It wasn't much. But charging over $200/hr for someone less than halfway through law school is one of those self-inflicted image hits that's tough to stomach."

If you use a large, full-service law firm, you should not be at all surprised that a summer associate billed against a matter. Do some clients push back on summer associate hours? Sure. But if you expect an experienced attorney to perform all of the work for you and you have a low tolerance for summer associate time billed at substantially less than what you would pay for even a mid-level associate, you should probably not be using a large, full-service law firm in the first place.

3. Ultimately, if you do not trust your law firm or are not comfortable with the relationship between the cost of services and the value you receive, you should find a new firm. Unless you're a multinational corporation that purchases ungodly amounts of services from a firm and thus has significant leverage, you absolutely do not want to be known as the stingy client who is always complaining about cost.

Bottom line: if you're not thoughtful about how you consume legal services, scrutinizing your bills is not the most effective use of your time.

I'd lov this arrangement if it were the reverse of how I've seen it implemented.

The meeting/private rooms should be in the center, away from the scarce windows, and the more frequently used common space should have the privilege of natural lighting. Too many conference rooms are allowed to hog the view.

I still don't get App.net
work in an open office with no dividers.
Unfortunately for me I don't have selective
hearing, so 95% of the time I'm trying to
drown out the buzz by wearing over-ear
headphones (usually with no music playing)

My wife has the same problem (no selective hearing). And while I understood it intellectually, it never really made sense. Of course you can focus your hearing, you just have to try... never said that, but that was my thought.

Then recently, an odd combination if sinus infection, cold, and related ear troubles inflicted this on me. I was attending a company/community even with several hundred attendees. Quite suddenly, it was like every conversation in the common area was happening right next to me. It didn't matter how close or far, or how loud - it was all happening at once, and I while I could still hear the person I was talking to, I could no longer distinguish what they were saying as there were too many other conversations that my brain was trying to interpret. This went on for about two hours, then my ears popped, and things were roughly back to normal.

Ho-ly crap. Even with that experience, I find it difficult to fathom living with that nonstop - I don't know how you do it without going insane, particularly if you have to work in an open office.

TL;DR: I finally understand the experience of lacking selective hearing, and sympathize. While hoping it never, ever happens to me again.
We've indexed every ruby gem, including rails.
Seems like overkill. Part of why Node is great and so easy to get started with is that all you need is a browser, a text editor, and the terminal. I suppose for people that already use VS this is good, but maybe we should encourage them to write Node apps outside of that environment instead of shoving Node into a giant IDE.
I suspect that will no longer the case much longer, if it's not already. One of the sites I run has a VERY non-techncical/older skewing customer base, and even in that group IE <= 8.0 is down to 12% of traffic, from about 28% a year ago.

Also, a year ago non-IE browsers were split pretty much 50/50 with IE, but now down to about 35/65. (Chrome and Safari were the big risers, Firefox actually dropped from 2nd to 5th)

That was my first reaction too. I say that as a fan of both Stephen Wolfram and his baby, Mathematica. If there's one thing I've learned over ten years of using this product, it's that Wolfram does not give away Mathematica. They enforce their student- and home-version rules like nothing else I've purchased. And it's damned expensive in a pool full of very powerful, free alternatives.

But I don't know what he could be up to. Getting people hooked? Seems like running Mathematica on underpowered hardware could leave a bad taste in people's mouths.

I don't see why you're looking at it as an either-or case. I'm sure there are plenty of poorly executed ideas in the marketplace, but that doesn't invalidate my point. To use your land analogy, it's now just getting more and more expensive to buy land in America - just as it's getting more and more expensive (in terms of cost and effort) to put out an application that meets the market's increasingly higher standards.

I'm not saying something is WRONG with the market, I'm making an observation about the state of the market.
I've been using it for years and never used a competing product except at a glance so I will be biased, but the clean interface makes me happy and for developers it's fantastic, being able to write integrations. Plus very simple to use after not much training, and Xero are serious about rolling out updates that are meaningful. That, for us is the best I think. Sure, still some ways to go as things like U.S. sales tax is tricky (and getting trickier) but at least having an interface like Xero let's you quickly see where you are at at any moment. Would recommend it to any size of business.
Alternatively, if your language/runtime/whatever supports it you can use dtrace for printf-debugging without editing the source.
Seems like an interesting concept. Don't know how the App.net integration works, but aside from that, it looks like an interesting idea.

It is not just a discipline issue, it also alters your desired growth trajectory as your sole aim is no longer being a healthy profitable company; you also have to account for the endgame the investor is playing, which, more often than not, is a big exit.

As much as it is celebrated and desired in the valley, a large number of businesses don't have the mystical hockey stick as a viable option for growth. Throw enough money at it and any business can hit the hockey stick, but it won't last for too long. For every big exit that we read about, there are probably ten companies out there that attempted it and failed.

Foundation 4 had also dropped IE8 support.

For basic stuff like the grid, it's quite easy to manually add IE8 support, given that you're never going to be seeing IE8 on a mobile phone or tablet. For some of the more advanced components you could run into issues.
Why does the government have a responsibility to prevent mass casualty events more than preventing lots of individual casualty events?

I think most citizens would like it to do both when the tradeoffs required make sense.

And no, I don't think terrorist attacks would generally cause lots of havoc if people could be convinced not to be terrorized.

I don't understand how you expect a bomb going off in a large crowd to fail to cause havoc, no matter how sanguine people are about it.

If something like the Boston bombing were happening once a month, people would rightfully be pretty agitated. Yes, more people are killed and maimed daily by automobiles, but people are not being irrational when they fail to be "terrorized" and demand the government ban automobiles. They understand perfectly well that banning automobiles would have a cost greater than the benefit. They support NHTSA's role in making automobiles safer, because that tradeoff makes sense. Another tradeoff that makes sense to a lot of people is letting the NSA run data analysis on phone call databases to try to identify attackers both before and after the fact. The cost to them seems minimal vs. preventing or capturing the perpetrators of even one attack.
This is only convenient in cases where

There's more to development than a text editor, though. Sometimes you do want debugging. And maybe you want syntax highlighting in your REPL. And, perhaps, you'd like some profiling to figure out how to make your Node app run faster.
>> Yes, it is totally reasonable to have given up your rights when no-one ever asked you.

Well, I guess you'll start sending say, 15% of all your income my way then? I never asked you, you never consented, but this "contract" is obviously binding anyway! That's how this stuff works, right? .. or do I need to have some kind of badge, wig, or uniform to make this "agreement" binding?

Naturally, I'll show up at your door and take my "fair share" by force, if necessary.

>> No, you cannot give up your right to property, because you own your person.

I think it's worth noting that Bootstrap and Foundation may not be comparing apples to apples.

Bootstrap has more styles so you can...bootstrap. Foundation is meant to be a foundation to build on.

That being said, of course their functionality is very close, but be aware of the core differences in outlook between the 2.
Wow, if they replace Windows Media Player with it, and embrace shoutcast, that would be great. But probably not going to happen, so I wonder what they're thinking.

If I understand you correctly, I think it has to do with the fact that their narratives don't align with the information. And that's only if the sources are credible (to them), the bias isn't obvious/against the readers bias, and the facts are presented clearly to them (presentation).

So the major barrier to what you & I enjoy as the internet for people to adopt in my opinion, are the communication barriers we all face everyday. You and I most likely are somewhat uncommon because more people are more apt to do their socializing in real life.

That said, we are seeing global communication at it's best. For instance, I'm an anarchist. But more specifically, and libertarian-socialist. One of my many hobbies is to argue with other political theory enthusiasts. More specifically, other Anarchists.

For such a small group of people, it would make more sense to band together in common ideology to become stronger (like the internet), but humans have a way with creating division where there ought not to be none IMO.

Would love you opinion on if removing this division in ourselves is possible, or if you don't believe that's universally true.

>> I don't get it... Wolfram is a money-hungry egomaniac.

> That's kinda funny. Our revenue per employee is lower than the industry average.

That's true for investment banks too (i.e. lower than comparable management positions in other fields), but this doesn't mean the higher-ups aren't money-hungry egomaniacs. In fact, it can be argued that when the salaries of mid-level employees are low compared to industry norms, that fact may be used to argue that the company is top-heavy, even possibly money-hungry.

> But you can read large swathes of our code by looking in the right place in the installation.

This is misleading. One can read all sorts of user-level script code, but no source code at all. It's not an accident, and it explains why Mathematica cannot be used in serious mathematical work, work meant for technical and scientific publication and peer review.

Interesting that I prefer Foundation (if I had to choose one or the other) over Bootstrap for exactly that reason: it's uglier.

Whenever I see a new app thingy launch with Bootstrap buttons I cringe a little bit. At least Foundation forces you to make some decisions about how you're presenting things to your users rather than just leaving it how it is (although we've all seen default Foundation apps too).
App.net was originally Mixed Media Labs, which made a product called PicPlz. They took over $7MM in funding. I _thought_ they got funded from YC, but can't find a reference to this now, so I must be mis-remembering.

http://www.crunchbase.com/product/picplz

http://www.crunchbase.com/company/mixed-media-labs

They then shuttered their product to build App.net, doing the whole 'crowdsourcing' thing and collecting another $500,000. You know, which throws that whole "We won't shut down, you can build on our platform" thing into some amount of doubt.
