If courts can send you to jail for sending a service invite to someone (something that might easily be done by accident and completely unintentionally -- think LinkedIn's dark pattern for inviting friends), then people should be outraged by that.

Once upon a time, courts also used to send you to jail for marrying a person from a different race. That does not mean you should accept that decision unquestioningly.

Why would we want such an unfair regressive tax that hurts the poor and middle class?
The road trips are always about the heroic actions of people like Ken Kesey and Neal Cassady and their amazing automobiles, right? Never, never did it get told that those road trips were only made possible by Eisenhower’s completion of the highway system.

That's interesting. Because Cassady and Kerouac's road trips in "On the Road" happened in 1947, 1949, and 1950 [0]. Construction of the Interstate Highway System didn't begin until 1956, and didn't finish until 1992 [1].

However, if we conspicuously omit the name "Kerouac" and that most famous of American counterculture roadtrips, then like Fred Turner, we too can conclude that no fun ("heroic!") roadtrips happened prior to intervention by the Federal Government.

> The only way that most of these content providers can keep on providing value for you is to monetize you.

How about if they actually asked for money in a honest, up-front way, instead of treating users like a cattle to be milked? What the hell happened to the "exchanging value for money" business model?

> No one owes you anything. You want good free content to read then deal with the fucking overlays.

Me dealing (or not) with overlays is a completely orthogonal thing to the fact that people who employ those methods are at least disrespectful of their users, if not out-right dishonest.
This is one of the advantages to having a real merchant account instead of using a 3rd-party processor like Balanced/PayPal/Stripe. I pay interchange + 0.04% for all cards, so when someone pays me with debit, I'm charged 0.09% and not 2.9%. Several thousand dollars a month of my subscription payments are from debit/check cards; it adds up.

Unfortunately, this misses the point of the MVP concept, and falls exactly into the trap that Lean Startup is trying to get you to avoid.

An MVP isn't a crappy product, it's an answer to a question: should I go to the next step?

Sometimes the next MVP step can be just a button that does nothing. Sometimes it's a concierge service. Sometimes it's a small bit of functionality and measurement.

The entire point of this concept is to avoid doing unnecessary work. Building a product that can eat, shit, fuck and die "out of the gate" is the very definition of waste - the exact kind of waste that Eric Aries rightly advises against.

None of those four activities are inherently necessary to serve the purpose of an MVP, which is not to make money, not to have solid support services, not to please the user and not (emphatically not) to have a sensible end-of-life plan for a product that may never even be built! The purpose of an MVP is to answer a simple question: is it worth going to the next step?
While it doesn't really changes the conclusions, you're a bit off the mark.

The FSF is about free people. Free software is just a mean, and they will use whatever licenses they think promotes freedom the most. That's why the GNU C standard library is in LGPL: the GPL itself would have prevented GCC from becoming popular, resulting in less freedom for the people. Also, looking at the history of GCC and the Hurd kernel, you can see they don't limit themselves to licenses.

You seem to imply that the GPL forbids you to keep your code secret. It doesn't. The right for private modification is preserved by the GPL. Only public modifications must be distributed in source form.

Companies don't contribute back to Linux because they have to. First, it's often more cost-effective to push changes upstream than maintaining them yourself. Second, monetizing private changes with GPL software is very very hard when the main distribution channel is gratis. Third people like to be good citizen. If I do changes for my company, and my company cannot possibly monetize the secrecy of those changes, why not contribute back?

If people and companies were forced to contribute back changes, they probably wouldn't use the software in the first place.

Now yeah, Linux is indeed larger than BSD thanks to the GPL.

I wonder if at some point Coinbase will have to start filing 1099s (or forex equivalent) any time someone pays for an item with Bitcoin.

Treating Bitcoin as an asset that has a basis and carries capital gains is a good way to make buying things with Bitcoin unpalatable. It would be like having to send your credit card statements to the IRS. (As if they don't already have those)

Credit card processors must report proceeds paid to merchant accounts, but with Bitcoin I could see someone like Coinbase eventually having to report both sides.
Oh, it's not open source. I'm disappointed.
Except you can use any bitcoin wallet so they accept bitcoin not coinbase. As absurd as it sounds when snapCard (a site that orders from other sites for you) first started they would only work with Coinbase. Enough customers complained that they had to offer a second option to accept bitcoin payments from anywhere.

You can only strictly expect to sell the first copy. That's not a problem if selling the first copy covers your costs (contract work), but that can sometimes be a business model.
>As I started writing code for this problem, I found out I could work on it for hours on end without distraction, quite unusual for me. I chalk this up to a tight feedback loop. Have an idea, implement it, get back a number. Think of ways to improve the number, start the cycle all over again. This is a cycle I would run dozens of times a day. Obviously more fundamental ideas would take more time to see the fruits of, and that's when I actually lost focus, but when the brain has been rewarded so richly with small cycles, it can afford to go a bit longer without reinforcement. This tells me that A/B testing or a similar numeric optimisation area would be quite motivating to me and I've made a mental note to go into this in the future.

I've had this experience before. I have a severe problem of not being able to focus on anything, and it feels great to be working on a problem like this. I'd love to find a problem like that again.
A tool to print out PGP fingerprint cards
I am waiting for an insured bitcoin bank. One that is as easy to use or easier to use as debit credit or even better paypal. I only use paypal because it is just so friggin easy. Login, done. No sharing through third party, no typing numbers, no getting my physical wallet out, just easy.
PayPal's volume pricing has always been public as well:

$0 - $3,000/month	2.9% + $0.30
$3,000 - $10,000	2.5% + $0.30
$10,000 - $100,000	2.2% + $0.30
$100,000+	1.9% or less, requires calling sales

Nonprofits automatically get 2.2% with no minimum volume, and in-person transaction with a PayPal Here dongle on your phone/tablet automatically get 2.7% flat with no minimum volume.

Okay, you can't. Well, this is a textbook example of the GPL discouraging people from distributing proprietary software, and seeking free alternatives instead. This is its exact purpose.

> Context-sensitive menu options that change what they do

The whole point of a context-sensitive menu is that it changes depending on your context. I think they're usually for advanced users -- often the right click menu just duplicates commands from the global menu but it's a faster access method. The Win8 case requires it for all users.

Of course if the context is the same, then the menu should be the same. (Maybe that was your point?)

You're definitely right about that. I'm afraid the website was rushed due to lack of time. :/ I'll try to clarify here with some use-cases:

- There's this new hot app everybody's so excited about, but it's only available for iOS and you'd love to interop with it. You realize it's relying on encrypted network protocols and tools like Wireshark just won't cut it. You pick up Frida and use it for API tracing. (frida-trace)

- You're building a desktop app which has been deployed at a customer's site. There's a problem but the built-in logging code just isn't enough. You need to send your customer a custom build with lots of expensive logging code. Then you realize you could just use Frida and build an application-specific tool that will add all the diagnostics you need, and in just a few lines of Python. No need to send the customer a new custom build - you just send the tool which will work on many versions of your app.

- You'd like to build a Wireshark on steroids with support for sniffing encrypted protocols. It could even manipulate function calls to fake network conditions that would otherwise require you to set up a test lab.

- Your in-house app could use some black-box tests without polluting your production code with logic required only for exotic testing.
Wait, so you think putting a person in jail for accidentally forgetting to uncheck a "Send requests to all my contacts" box is a perfectly reasonable thing, and the MRAs are deranged?

I think you need to empathize more with people who are not as familiar with the web as you are. Spotting dark patterns in webapps and avoiding them is a far, far more difficult thing than, for example, not accidentally pressing a speed dial button. Judges should take cognizance of this fact and not treat these actions as "contact".
The reason you don't want to do this is because the price is always inflated on Mt.Gox. Coinbase used to pretty closely mirror Bitstamp price, which is rarely if ever as high as Mt.Gox price. Now it's usually lower, I think.

The reason the price is inflated (USD/BTC price) is of course because you can never count on a withdrawal going through, so to get access to your USD, you can either go to Japan (I guess, so I'm told) or take a haircut.

Presumably you could convert them to another currency, if you couldn't or didn't want to go to Japan and establish a banking relationship there, you can do it somewhere else that Mt.Gox customers can operate.

This is a lot to go through for a small amount of money, I'm not suggesting it except as a last resort, or for a lot of money such that international travel is no obstacle. I have heard of people in Japan that say Mt.Gox is a stand-up company and withdrawals are taken care of in two days.
Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one confused.

> Ultimately, building a product that can ESFD out of the gate seems like a much more sound goal and a better goalpost—and, importantly, one that doesn’t create an argument over what “viable” really means.

It's certainly clear that this (a) isn't minimal, and (b) aims to be viable. So really it's one classic approach to building a product, discarding the advice of the Lean Startup movement.
This is dead on. Here's a few other things to keep in mind:

1. A Durbin Regulated Debit Card include any bank that has over $10B in deposits. That's most debits cards by volume.

2. We've been lucky in being able to negotiate with our processing banks (also called acquiring bank) to receive very favorable rates to pass on those savings. You have to factor in this cost in addition to the interchange defined by the card brands.

3. Amex is more expensive than most other cards, but Amex is also the only card brand that will negotiate on their interchange based on volume and other factors.

>Abstraction is an important part of what we do as SW engineers.

Which is why we should be able to handle it and craft it properly, and not outsource it to some ready-made one-size-fits-all framework.

There are other outlets for code reuse, and they are called libraries.

>"Small size" -- cry me a river. Yes, byte size is important but it's not more important than code reuse and all the benefits that come with it (security, dev speed, support etc).

Code reuse? Ever heard of libraries?

In fact adopting a framework makes pretty sure that it will be hard to reuse both best-of-breed third party libraries (because frameworks favor their built-in stuff) and it also makes it pretty sure that your code will not be reusable outside of it, e.g when you move to a better framework. E.g. all those Ember objects will be tied to Embder, and the logic will be tied to Ember logic of doing things.

>By the way, the Retina image on the blog post was 46kb over the wire which is bigger than all the JS in his app.

>"Special needs" -- moot's engineering challenges were not unique, they just didn't like the trendy frameworks.

Moots might not have been, but your startups better be, else you're doing commodity work churning out stuff. In which case, yes, use a framework.
Just think about it a bit, fixed or barely growing supply of currency; what happens when the economy booms and the population grows, more demand for that money, no more supply of that money, the value of the money must go up, goods must be marked down in price, salaries must be lowered, because there's less money being used by more people.

Deflation; it strangles an economy for obvious reasons that require nothing more than understanding the inevitable consequences of fixing the supply of your medium of exchange. Printing money is what keeps prices stable as the population and economy grows. If you didn't print more money, you'd be forced into deflation; you think people like their salaries being cut? Do vendors like lowering prices across the board not because things are cheaper, but because the value of money has risen? How do make long term contracts when the value of your money isn't stable? How do you get a 30 year mortgage or rent a place when no one knows what the currency will be worth tomorrow? That's why gold failed.
From what I've seen, they're making function hooking as easy as possible, by exposing it simply in a language plenty of developers are currently familiar with (javascript). Previously, it would take assembly code or c++ to accomplish this.

As to what you can do with this; since a program basically consists of logic (function calls) + data, you can change any behavior of a program by modifying the function calls and return values. For example, I have previously used these techniques to extend MSN (Windows Live) Messenger to support third party chat networks (Facebook, Google Talk), even though the program didn't expose any APIs to extend functionality (but by simply hooking and injecting data into network calls such as recv and send).
It would also be nice if they gave any real examples of how to use it on iOS (as advertised on the homepage, etc)...
