Thanks for the reply. Windows Phone indeed has apps you can't remove, just like Apple they're mosty standard aps and ringtones. From your link: "You can't uninstall any of the core operating system apps from Microsoft. I just helped my neighbor clear out all the bloatware from the carrier. And you are correct that you can NOT remove any of the pre-installed ringtones. Why, I have no clue, but it is, what it is. It's just not this phone, but all the WP8 devices you can not remove the existing ringtones. If you add ringtones, you can remove those. " So, you can remove the carrier-app-crap. Unlike most cheap android phones.

With regards to Android consumers: Android Is Popular Because It's Cheap, Not Because It's Good
http://gizmodo.com/5977625/android-is-popular-because-its-ch...

The last study conducted by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project shows that Android is the chosen smartphone of people without money. Among respondents, 22-percent of those with annual incomes below $30,000 were Android owners, as opposed to just 12 percent for iPhone. With those towards the lower-middle class, the trend holds: Android owns 23-percent of incomes up to $50,000, with iPhones at 18. The data makes it clear: the less money you have, the more likely you are to opt for an Android phone over something more expensive.
You may want to look into Linkedin. I find its social networking a complete waste of time, but its a heck of an online resume building / documenting tool.

One part I don't like is to defeat keyword scanning I've always customized my resume. Anyone with more than 6 months real world experience has to leave tons of stuff out of a resume to keep it a reasonable length, so customizing to match an advertisements ridiculous keyword set is perfectly honest. My current job really doesn't care what I did with VTAM on MVS although my future one might.

> The main concern

What you have said above is correct, however it is not the "main" concern. There are numerous concerns. That is one key one. Since I have not seen others post other key concerns, I will also contribute an additional concern:

Sensitive data left lying around are/is very tempting to use for illegal economic and blackmail gains. The FBI in particular has a pattern of getting indicted for re-selling sensitive data, even before massive amounts of "seize now, convict later" was taking place.

There is nothing to be confused about, the scenario is pretty straightforward: you are presented with a (non)choice of either taking a pay cut or finding a box waiting for your on your desk. By being placed in this position, you have already been placed in a predicament where you have to accept the financial downside either in the form of taking a pay cut or having to find a new job. Again, the downside has already manifested and you are left dealing with the situation. So how exactly has being a salaried employee protected your from the said financial downside?

When you're a 20something techie living in the Valley, it really doesn't matter since you'll have 5 offers waiting in your inbox tomorrow. When you're a 50 year old blue collar worker with a family, a mortgage and maybe a medical condition, this kind of situation can ruin your life.

Most company owners don't readily share profits with their employees when their company is doing well but don't have a problem downsizing and cutting salaries across the board when they aren't doing so well. Since it's impossible to guarantee somebody income (even the best companies will go through rough patches), the only fair thing for managers to do is to share more wealth with the people who created that wealth when the times are good.
Some commenter here recently compared the likelihood there was a COINTELPRO-like operation in our DoJ to space aliens, implying that only stupid and paranoid people could believe such a thing.

Some people here are entirely too impressed with helping catch "bad guys" and need to put away their Cracker Jack badges and realize they are part of the problem.

This is the system that Manning and Assange and Snowden face. If you think they are cowards, think again. If you think Swartz was a coward, shame on you.
There's also the fact that the cost of design is quite likely a lot higher than the cost of construction. For one-off (or two-off) prototypes it's often worthwhile to overbuild so that the design's easier. Optimising for cost and exact lifetime is expensive.
Debuggers can be helpful by disguising/translating details, but I'd be very cautious about a feature that messed with the stack frame. Sometimes that's what's being debugged! It would be a disservice to muddy that information.

I think a better analogy might be if Fortune magazine tried to claim that because of their (valid) claim to the name "Fortune", no one should be able to start a magazine whose title starts with the letter "F".
Defining people as "guilty" or not is hair-splitting. Credibly likely of being prosecuted of some infraction of the law is an accurate description, and frankly, it's not necessary to go that far. In most cases, the bar of passing grand jury review is sufficient to create all measure of hardship for someone: negative press, asset seizure, jail time, family and business disruption.
That's my understanding as well. For trademark law to be enforceable you have to have shown that you've acted defensively in the past.
Those concessions represented over one third of the wages but only 2.5% of the resulting profits

This doesn't seem to make sense. It's a VERY rare industry that has labor costs as little as 7.5% of profits. Very few are even as low as 7.5% of revenues, and those are high automation businesses. (Think software, not automotives)

All that said, this article quotes "After tax" profits. Given how much tax avoidance is happening at big companies, I think it would be interesting to see pre-tax profits too. How much of this is coming from tax loopholes, in addition to squeezing workers?

What a loss for Microsoft - 'SkyDrive' definitely has more of an appeal than 'OneDrive', and it'll surely be confusing to some people to see the name changed. And it seems like a case they should have been able to win. Sometimes it seems as if all of Europe just loves to mess with Microsoft.

Why should they have to? As far as I understand it, they actually applied to trademark 'The Banner Saga' before King decided to apply for 'Saga'.

To my mind, their point amounts to 'we are bigger and richer, so we should get our own way'.
I have no idea if you are right or not (I'm not a laywer either), but the fact that you provide a clear black and white answer (when the law is often not so black and white), without any citations to background reading or cases supporting your interpretation of the law (so we can learn more about it and verify your interpretation, especially important since you of course aren't a lawyer giving us legal advice), and without assuring the readers that you are indeed familiar with relevant UK law (on a site such as HN where US is often assumed default)...

...makes me a lot less credible.

I'm not sure what leads people to ask for legal advice on HN, but hopefully the askers are looking for citations to further background reading on the topic rather than a legal opinion, and are cautious of simply believing everything they read.

Indeed.

The best example would be bonds. If you buy the California Bonds... the people of California may get a High-Speed Railroad within a year. They will not be able to accomplish the building of the High Speed Railroad without investor support.

30 years from now, the state of California will finish paying off your bonds. And you'll make some money.

Win/Win for everyone. Investors make money, and California citizens get High Speed Railroads today... instead of 30 years from now.
Server monitoring applications, by their nature, have to interact with the system by issuing the commands that will collect data. The most common solution is to separate the application in to two parts:

Back-end: a daemon process that runs at an interval, collecting data and writing it to a data store.

Front-end: connects to the data store, processes statistics, and formats for display.

By constructing your application in this way, the data store acts as a firewall between the system calls required to collect the data and the interface used to view the data. Your daemon application needn't listen on any network ports if it is running locally.

Your web application still needs to be secure, but you don't have the additional risk of many calls to system/shell exec commands that are a honey pot for exploitation.
It's a pity King targets Stoic Studio. Their first title (The Banner Saga) is amazing. And I really hope that Stoic Studio will have the resources to finish the trilogy.

The statement by the developers:

"Two years ago, the three of us at Stoic set out to make an epic viking game: The Banner Saga. We did, and people loved it, so we’re making another one. We won’t make a viking saga without the word Saga, and we don’t appreciate anyone telling us we can’t.

King.com claims they’re not attempting to prevent us from using The Banner Saga, and yet their legal opposition to our trademark filing remains.

We’re humbled by the outpouring of support and honored to have others stand with us for the right to their own Saga. We just want to make great games."

Microsoft seems to be making progress in unwinding the habit of convoluted naming schemes. I would love to hear a testimonial from a Microsoft marketing insider as to where the naming trend came from, and how they view it internally.

My most recent encounter was looking into the product currently known as "Microsoft Blend for Visual Studio 2012", previously known as "Microsoft Expression Blend for Visual Studio". I learn from Wikipedia that the article was originally code-named "Sparkle" - it's funny to me because the code name is the name Apple would have launched with, whereas at Microsoft, it's not "customer ready" until they've given it a suitably unwieldy name.

Awesome post, I think you should write about your Google Analytics setup. I recently switched to Universal Analytics, and it's been quite a mess.

Also, I highly recommend checking out Chartio (www.chartio.com) - since it's pulling everything from the DB, you can track and measure anything imaginable (http://chartio.com/docs/charts/transform/formulas)

My stack is GA for acquisition, Mixpanel for product analytics, and Chartio for the stuff in between. It works well, but there's always room to improve.
This is quite unusual - it's usual for the employment contract for a developer to include a clause dictating whatever you create in the course of your employment is owned by your company but as far as what you do outside the course of your employment - this is pretty odd.

You should check what your contract says, but regardless of what it says, if you aren't using your company's source code, equipment and designs etc I think this would be hard to enforce (without knowing the facts here). Even if you did sign an employment contract including this, if you are not developing anything that builds on top of your company's work, this could be seen as restriction of your trade (or a similar concept) and be unenforceable but whether this is the case or not is really depends on the specific facts here.

I think your best bet is to take a look at your contract and if it does include wording to the effect that whatever you develop (whether this be in work or not) then you should talk to an IP lawyer who has some experience with employment issues like this.

By way of my background - I'm an ex corporate M&A lawyer based in London so IP/employment isn't my specialist area and it can be quite tricky so I would recommend you try and find one to make sure you get this right.

I should also add that I'm currently building a UK based platform to help people with legal issues find good lawyers at fair prices which will be launched in the next month, but if you need assistance before this get in touch and maybe I can help find the right lawyer for you (this will be free to you - charges are deducted from the lawyer).

Just another approval of the 95% rule. Ukraine has no strong elite. People who come to power are just short-sighted beggars. They see the golden antelope and ask her for gold, more gold[1]. And finish like the greedy raja. That's obvious and predictable.

It's the greatest diplomatic failure to push dumb poor people to power. Hi there, western polittechnology! Look at Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Ukraine(so-called "orange revo" in 2004 and now - just the same) Promote quasi-democracy and push the weak leader to power. You'll get unstabilized entity, unable to produce any decent products or services and... just.. repeat when it seems to get a little stronger than needed?!

If you want a real success story, read the fucking history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution
Well that's the real deal.
Just this for instance: "The Russian Empire, which had withdrawn from the war in 1917 after the October Revolution, lost much of its western frontier as the newly independent nations of Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland were carved from it. Romania took control of Bessarabia in April 1918."

It's not so much about whether they speak Russian or not. Eastern Ukraine is just generally closer ideologically to Russia whereas Western Ukraine prefers to maintain close ties with Europe.

You can see that reflected quite clearly in the split between west and east in where the protests are.

In general the president is supported by the eastern part of Ukraine, but is also a convicted criminal who sent the previous president to jail on trumped up charges (which is what's blocking their entry into the EU.)

FWIW, the linked presentation gives a pretty good overview of the dynamics at play at the moment... from the perspective of the protesters of course.

As I understand trademark law (which is, poorly), if you don't take the opportunity to prosecute things which MIGHT infringe, you lose credibility when you attempt to prosecute things which DO infringe.

For example, a company could create a game that DOES use "Candy" and "Saga" in an infringing manner, and they could argue that since King didn't prosecute The Banner Saga, that they're no longer actively protecting their trademark, and thus it's no longer valid.

Now, I disagree with a bunch of things King has done in general, but this part specifically seems to be largely due to shitty trademark law. I could easily be wrong though, but I've seen this reason cited for a bunch of other cases, the Scrolls/Elder Scrolls case in specific.
Regulation is an ill-defined concept, so that statement is meaningless to me. If you mean the same as when people usually call "unregulated", which actually means heavily but baldy regulated, then we're in agreement.
