This isn't wrong per se, but it doesn't feel like solid advice to me; I think it's just skipping past a lot of nuances that are really pretty important.

Like: extracting the maximum possible money out of your customers is kind of a shitty goal for a business, as they go. It's not exactly pushed here, either, but it's not identified and discarded.

There's a price point where customers will be feeling pained and possibly taken advantage of, but still recognize the value of the product to them is such that they will still pay. This is not a sweet spot, I think; it's an opportunity for your competitors.

Hustling to add value instead of cutting prices is a good point, but "how do we change our product to add more value to our customers?" is a non-trivial question, though. The default gut responses are usually wrong, and end up increasing value to some customers at a cost to others; more features but severely increased complexity; sometimes broadening the potential target market at the cost of lower value (or a steeper learning curve) for the current user base.

Finally: customers even in a fairly narrow niche are diverse. You may settle on pricing that works great for healthy businesses, but which will force struggling businesses to reluctantly forgo your service, even when they need it the most.

A business relationship is a relationship between people or groups thereof, in the end, even if a numbers game is involved to maintain business health.

>It would probably take another Snowden to get any evidence on it.

And I think that the possibility of another Snowden for this requires that there be some functioning mechanism by which requests to do this are centrally cleared, or even recorded, which I don't think is a sure thing. I see it just as likely that different agencies and departments within them are operating under a lot of different standing blanket orders in the form of legal interpretations, and that once a parallel construction is created, the records of any alternate explanation are destroyed (or were never created.)

Why would anyone willingly give up their protections under the law? Of course, if you say "no", they'll just get their trained dogs to give them "permission".
I think it very much depends on whether or not you have any bargaining power or leeway in the company. As he says further down, if they won't allow you to do ANY side projects (or at least severely restrict you), you counter by demanding for more pay or other compensation for your "loyalty" (for a lack of better word) to focusing solely on the company's products and code.

Alternatively, argue that letting you work on solo projects will be beneficial to the employer; Risk-free testing of new frameworks and languages that leads to an experienced developer.

For some very big companies (I've worked at one myself) they seem to have a zero tolerance policy of outside work and you might be SOL in that case - I guess you have to ask yourself whether it's worth it then.
What is RE and where can this tool be found?
There's a long history of spreadsheet errors and literature on same going back a few decades now.

In a business sim class in college a couple of decades back, I discovered that the Lotus spreadsheets (as I said: a couple of decades back) had a totalling error which double-counted individual row totals in the bottom line (everything was twice as profitable as the spreadsheet indicated).

At an early gig, one of the senior developers instituted a practice of code walkthroughs on projects (only a subset of them). One of these involved, you guessed it, a spreadsheet (we used a number of other development tools for much of our work), in this case Excel. Again, numerous errors which substantively changed the outcome of the analysis. One of the walkthrough leader's observations was that you could replace all of the in-cell coding with a VBA macro making debugging far easier (all the code and data are separated and in one place each).

The particular analyst whose project this was: he insisted to the very end that this "wasn't a program" and he "wasn't a programmer" and that the walkthrough didn't apply to his situation. Despite the errors found and corrections made.

At the time (mid 1990s) the walkthrough lead turned up a paper from a researcher in Hawaii on the topic. I'm not certain it was Raymond Panko, but his 2008 paper (a revise of a 1998 work) discusses the matter in depth:

Paper, by MiSoft
This is an interesting pick. He may be diplomatic but he is quite clear about the current organisation problems, that Microsoft's need to amplify their work. Microsoft has been a traditional technology company but increasingly, they are getting trounced on the consumer side because they never had to build up a competency due to their incumbency.

Microsoft is very good at long term support platforms. They have clearly articulated how long they will support each of their iteration of OS, and software packages. These work extremely well in the enterprise space. Moving a lot of their disparate services into long term support - e.g. skydrive makes good sense.

If they can now do the same for their software platforms and provide long term support for how to write long lived applications that will run well on the ARM and x86 platforms, we should start seeing some consolidation in the APIs again.

You're thinking of the WRT54G (earlier firmware versions only, as later versions used VxWorks which prevented third-party firmware from being used), and finally the WRT54GL that was created specifically for OpenWRT and such (they returned to a Linux based OS).
The Future Isn't What It Used to Be ... So Change It
The WRT54G went through several generations, the later generations having different hardware and just sharing the model name. They weren't all compatible with the various xWRT's of the day.

I had a v1 WRT54G; after six or seven years running OpenWRT, it finally died last month. Now I have a cheap TPLink while I wait for the dust to settle on the AC models.

Cockroach powered cybugs
I agree with most of your points, but I think the key missing piece is integration.

IMHO, it's not an issue of "desktop" vs. small device, but integrated applications and presence that works smoothly across platforms vs. monolithic and siloed apps that keep you on one device.

Nobody does this well yet, but the holy grail of computing is to be able to move from desktop to tablet to laptop to phone and have your apps, data, and presence seamlessly follow you around.

Mobile has lept ahead in perceived value because it provides an illusion of that integration. Since you have the device with you always, you get a taste of what having everything everywhere would be like. However, that is fleeting and the providers have jumped at the chance to make it a walled garden that feels open (since the device is always with you), but doesn't share or play with others.

Eventually, people will become aware that mobile only is closed and bad, and integrated open multiplatform will rise, whether that is based on multi cloud or personal cloud or whatever technology best supports that seamless transition between devices.
I guess I failed to make my point clearly. These were not necessarily bad ideas. The Kin got pushed out too early and too sloppily. It would have been better to kill the project before launch than what happened.

Zune could have been a good brand but rather than sticking to their guns, they abandoned it. Live was another unifying brand that they gave up on too quickly in favor of new rebrandings -- Bing, Office365, etc.

My point is that the constant jumping from idea to idea and rebranding instead of sticking with good ideas and revising until they're successful is a pattern of the Ballmer years that is a big part of Microsoft's lack of impact in the computing world over the past 5-10 years as Apple and Google and Amazon have risen to the forefront.

Again, I appreciate your help. Yes, the Adwords rep I talked to on the phone said there was nobody who could help me figure out why our organic results tanked overnight, but that I could ask on the forums. I'm not prepared to do that at this time.

There were two changes that happened on the same day, at least one of which I'm sure is the cause: we pushed out a ton of pages we had generated from old data, and we had a regression whereby our international sites lost their canonical tags on links. It's pretty clearly our fault, but it would be nice to have someone spend 30s saying, "this is what triggered the issue; don't do this" rather than, "no we can't help you, maybe some random person on the Internet can".

You have a number of options:

* just do it, and ask forgiveness or deal with the consequences.
* ask a lawyer to look at your contract and state law and see if the company has the right to what you do off hours on your own equipment
* try to sell the side project as beneficial to the company (cross training, extra publicity)
* do a side project, but expect to throw it away
* pick different ways to do a side project--there are many way. Contribute to open source via QA, documentation, user support. Do user group talks. Reach out to authors in the space that you are in and offer to review technical books. Join an email list and answer questions of other users.
* walk--find a different boss in the same company who will let you do this
* walk--find a different company

What you choose depends on what your side project is, what your skills are, how much you care about the side project, how monetizable the side project is, and, most of all, what you are trying to get out of your "serious side projects".
I actually stumbled on this book yesterday. I read a few chapters. What surprised me the most other than the good content if you're in the JS analytics space, but actually the fluidity and level of the writing was so much than what you usually expect to come across in what on the surface of things should be dry. It kept me going for a few more chapters. Hope this catches on.
While not every dispute goes to court, another aspect of the legal profession is that if you do need to take a matter to court, dockets (the court's calendar) are extremely busy, and the higher up the chain you go (appeals, Supreme Court, etc.), the worse it gets.

So you've got the training challenges already highlighted, the complexity of cases (the legal profession is the epitome of a profession in which people are managing complexity, much as software is), and a limited number of playing fields. It's as if you had to apply to a limited number of government-run computing facilities months in advance to get a few minutes of processing time -- much as mainframe computing was through the late 1980s, for many people, in fact (there's a reason PCs and minis took off like they did).

This is true, to an extent. By design so-called "non-profits" are truly just restricted from paying dividends (which can only be paid from profits). This is illsutrative, however, in the broader sense most taxable corporate entities forgo dividends for a variety of reasons. That is to say, they find the payment of dividends to required subsequent re-capitalizations via finacial markets to have economic entropy. Companies retain their profits, as a result, for the benefit of management (avoiding market benchmarking) and to a lesser extent, shareholders. A non-profit and a for-profit company are not that much different it turns out once this is considered a point of equivalence. If you take that argument to its logical conclusion, its makes sense also not to pay taxes (more operating cash flow retention). Thus, from the perspective of principal-agent theory, an eefficientnon-profit structure fully capitalized and run equivalently a "non-dividending" but "operating profit" maximizing entity. The purpose of maximizing revenues less costs is to opportunistically extract economic rents.

I dont see how angular suggests a way to structure your application more than backbone did.

In Backbone you had very rigid definitions of models, collections and relationships between them, whereas in Angular any JS object can be a model and relationships between models can also be very flexible(although scope hierarchy is something u need to wrap your head around).

The documentation does leave a lot to be desired and I often find myself going back to the 1.1.5 directive documentation to look up different scope data binding options etc.

I see very little of that as unethical. What is objectionable about researching one's opponent and try to discern his weaknesses? What is objectionable about mocking someone who is a risk to one? What is wrong with paying someone to write an article? That is wrong with trying to trick one's opponent into tripping?

Edit: I forgot one important point. The items you mentioned overlook one very key issue: is atrazine actually net harmful? That's the only real question. If it is, then its makers have a duty to cease production; if it is not then they have a duty to continue. If it is net-positive, then it is _good_ for them to discredit someone who opposes it, since by definition his course of action will be net negative.
