Where is antitrust? There's Origin and anyone (i.e. any publisher or indie gamer) is free to make their own store online anytime. There's monopoly where the cost of entry is high, but in that case, the cost of making an online store to sell your own games is close to nothing. There's also Desura, Humble Bundle (they don't only sell Steam keys), and lets' not forget the plethora of online and retail distributors which sell physical games still.

Been running a cheap, cheap Kimsufi box for years, and never an issue. And I'm hosting mail etc. on several discount OVH vps'es. Superb value for money.
True, the signup procedure can be a bit gnarly, and yes, I'm sometimes dumped into a French language admin screen. But honestly, if I can admin a server, I really should be able to decompile a bit of French to something comprehensible.

I wish we had the actual paper, because the abstract and summary are odd:

We studied the effect of such stereotypes in an experimental market, where subjects were hired to perform an arithmetic task that, on average, both genders perform equally well.

If this is actually what they did, then it's a bit shady. Most of the data shows that men and women are the same on average, but men have a higher variance. So if managers are hiring the best, you'll get more men. Of course, the paper is paywalled, so who knows?

It is nice to know that objective measurements can reduce bias. Score 1 for hiring by github. I'd be curious to see what happens with incentives taken into account - make the employees do math problems and the manager gets $1 for every correct answer.
In this topic, a mainstream media publication treats a loosely coupled online group of millions of disparate people as if they were a monolithic entity.

No, that was the whole point of the quote. Many people pirate for convenience reasons rather than financial reasons. Check out this blog post by Fred Wilson on this subject: http://avc.com/2012/01/scarcity-is-a-shitty-business-model/
Even though I have a US credit card and address, I live in Italy and thus my IP address gets flagged for a lot of things like Netflix or Amazon prime, so I have to pay to use a proxy service, to pretend I'm in the US, in order to actually pay to see stuff streamed. It's fairly absurd.

I'm a mod on a few reasonably sized reddit subs, and yea, i would have no idea who anyone was by their real name. We are living in a transitional time for media to say the least.

This is not indicative, at least, of 500 Startups. Look, you can fuck up your time with any incubator by not focusing on things important to your startup. Dave McClure and the other partners there will yell at you for doing this, and the common theme is "Get back to fucking work" and "Don't waste your time with bullshit meetings."

The overall feeling is: build, get customers, experiment and verify, and build.

The problem is that most accelerators (500 included) have a TON of opportunity for distraction, and undisciplined founders get distracted. For us, 500 was immensely useful because it gave us a network of people to reach out to that didn't exist in our world before 500. For finding customers, verifying assumptions, user testing, raising funding, and all that other stuff that startups have to do, this was incredibly important.

tl;dr: incubators are what you make of them. you can waste your time, or it can be the most productive time you'll ever have, and it all depends on your discipline. you'll have more opportunity than you would otherwise, but you have to be disciplined about what avenues you pursue and which you don't. the same is true of college, incidentally.

EDIT: It's important to note that I made this mistake freshman year at MIT, and learned from it. There was so much opportunity for learning, initially, that I squandered it and tried to do too much. I was incredibly busy, but never really got anything done. I learned to focus on what's important, but the resources I had at MIT meant that focus was better utilized than it would have been at a smaller school with fewer opportunities. The same is true for incubators/accelerators; we saw undisciplined founders have this problem, but we took full advantage of all the resources 500s gave us, and ignored the meetings/events we didn't care about and that weren't useful to us.

Carlson is looking at things from a very narrow perspective. If the industry has high barriers to entry, an incubator can help because it just gives that extra lead time you need to get a product to launch. Not all products are apps that you can churn out in the basement to profitability.

What if you have additional inventory? What if you need to purchase forwarding commodity price? What if your idea is simply new enough that you don't have any precedents? Incubators can help with that, especially if they have a lawyer and accountant at hand.

There's also a third factor, which is that if you're an international/immigrant or someone from a state unfamiliar with tech industry, then the connections are helpful. The idea of low fidelity networks being worse off is absolute bullshit though, it's been proven over and over again that a large network of weak ties generates a stronger overall response than a small network of strong ties. Weak ties is what builds communities and gives people jobs (which tbh, is exactly what Linkedin managed to do so well technologically)
I think the closest I know of is vodo.net -- but it has the usual problem of free/indy media -- a lot of it is simply crap. But it has some low-budget gems, like Pioneer One:

http://vodo.net/pioneerone

(Note that one person's gem is often another person's crap...)

Yet, vodo.net, even being free -- still has higher friction than The Pirate Bay, less choice in [encoding] quality -- but at least supports offline usage (unlike Netflix).
Price doesn't usually give a product value, except for luxury goods. Value is depending on every potential buyer and his usecase. Usually an illegal counterfeit has a vastly lower price and a somewhat lower value to most. If the value is equal or higher, you know you're in trouble.
I can't get over the fact people keep printing articles without adding anything to the mix.

Assuming the Satoshi Nakamoto identified is not the Satoshi Nakamoto who invented bitcoin, you'd think they'd try and get some formal writing with an FOI request or something to solidify the writing analysis instead of relying on postings to model train forums.
I don't know how often I have actually seen this, but it was interesting to note that the references to Newsweek were simply italics instead of hyperlinks. After recently studying pagerank I found that an interesting tactic, whether or now pure hyperlinks are stil used in the calculations vs some other metric.
I think that's also an example of a movie that has changed over time.

Probably the worst example being Cinema Paradiso. The original cut had nostalgia with a mixture of regret and acceptance of what is past. Then, the new cut concludes with the disappointment of trying to confront past missed opportunities. Whether it's meant to be hyperrealistic, I also liked the original movie, which was a different movie, but can't be found anymore.

I think the same goes for the earlier releases of Star Wars. I know that the special effects of the era weren't "better", but the modern CGI makes them different movies, and I'd like to have the original version available, too.
That was the first link I found btw. There are other links like the following from the Environmental Protection Agency http://www2.epa.gov/cfl/cleaning-broken-cfl
if you think there is something with the validity of the article linked previously. It raises the same issues.

Furthermore, the discussion was not specifying incandescent, but I specified energy saving just in case.
I was on kimsufi server for the last 3.5 years for all european projects from small to medium sized and we never had any problem with one of the servers. the last few weeks we are switching partly into the cloud and partly on an OVH Host-32 server.

price-performance ration at Kimsufi is fine from my point of view. I guess anybody who is ordering a VPS for 8€ / month should know that he will not get the latest technology in his box, but for the one or another usecase, such boxes are awesome.
These look pretty useful for some scripts. Thanks for linking, I've never heard of them before.
You lose access to it, but since you've only been paying $10 a month, it isn't that big a loss.

Here's a comparison. You could buy a new album off of Amazon or iTunes every month for $10. These would be DRM free copies that you would own.

So for $10 a month you could have 1 album that you own, or you could pay $10 a month and have access to I don't know, 4 million that you are renting?

We could also imagine that after a year Spotify goes out of business. You've spent $120 on Spotify and don't have anything in return. In the same amount of time you would have spent $120 on iTunes or another service and own 12 albums.

There's a convenience factor here and I think it is obvious that especially in the short term (which is what most people are weighing), it just makes sense to use Spotify or another service, even if you don't actually own your music.

I think this article is really short-sighted, in that he is just making a blanket statement that doesn't apply to all incubators and doesn't apply to all companies.

We are applying for incubators now, because it will give us the opportunity to continue doing business and will help us grow our business. We think it will be a good fit, because we are heavy on the engineering side and are looking for some investors to get on board and back our passion with real dollars. Runway + opportunity to focus is the reason you want to get investment or into an incubator.

Anyway, nice work on getting people to your site through a clever title.

The movie industry should be more afraid of the video game industry than of piracy. It's probably less than 5-10 years before it will be possible to auto-generate somewhat entertaining feature-length sequences from the viewer's/player's favorite game assets, and then another 5 years to push movie studios into obsolescence (other than a niche market for the nostalgic old folks).

Or instead of being afraid, they could fire the lawyers and invest that money in this direction.

Yes because he thought his life would be a lot more convinient by realeasing the NSA documents to the world. Generally whistle blowers are seen as having incredibly cushy lives. I too believe that Edward Snowden did it for the fame and fortune that were sure to follow the leak.

I'm sorry if this is overly sarcastic but I do not know what other kind of answer you'd expect. The basis of your question is seems not to be based in reality you might as well ask why the founding fathers didn't believe laws applied to them.

Oh, wow, I highly suggest everyone try this. It really puts your subconscious bias into stark focus.
It is great that you emphasize that. Success (or at least progress) seems to come down to what the founders choose to spend their time doing and/or be distracted by.

It is really easy to let meetings distract you from building.
A lot of bad experiences with Kimsufi here. Does this extend across the board for OVH in general?

Their 'enterprise' dedicated servers look really attractive.

This is also upper-middle class geek view. A person who flips burgers at McDonnalds or moves crates at Walmark is much more likely to lean towards saving $8/mo than CEO of Valve or $100/hr tech crowd here. Also in developing countries like India or China people would strongly prefer something free even though it's lower quality and involves more hassles. No one there gives damn to any copyright violation. The general population view there is why to give more money to all those actors and movie makers who are already multi-millionaires.

Yes, OS X isn't very advanced.

In its heyday, Solaris was outstanding in terms of being responsive while simultaneously doing large amounts of I/O. (Or at least that's my perhaps clouded recollection, I haven't used Solaris in over 5 years).
I'd guess it's more to do with the OP is in a job that gets targeted with these types of ads. (Correctly it seems)

Combined with, there probably has been other emails previously but they were ignored since OP at that time had their head on different issues.

As a human a pattern was looked for and a pattern was found.

As above companies are tracking this sort of stuff and some sites get the email addresses of user who visit (from tracking data). So the 'coincidence' might be more contrived with a bit more targeting than just low level job data. Would need more info.

But I wouldn't call it a birthday paradox, it's not totally random.
I hear ya - this is one area where Spotlight on Mac OSX Tiger (10.4 - almost a decade ago) really innovated - I could tell my folks to "use the magnifying glass on the top right corner and type 'mouse'". The same on XP could be a nightmare depending on how it was setup. Apple definitely should have kept the settings in the search in iOS.

Right now it's sad I have to search google on how to find some of the settings on the iPhone.

Piracy doesn't offer automatic updates, cloud saves, (usually) multiplayer, support when the game breaks, and a guarantee of not containing malware. I'm obviously using Steam as an example here, given the context.

Also, making $150k with a $150k signing bonus is not anywhere close to 'making $300k'. What do you earn in year 2? $150k (plus whatever raise and annual bonus, but annual bonuses don't typically make up a huge part of your annual income in software, as they do in finance).

When I was younger I pirated almost all games (it helped that in my country there was no concept of legal games when I was a kid, and in fact I didn't even know there was another way of purchasing games).

Later, when I knew what piracy vs legal was, it was definitely a convenience thing. Until very recently, legal games were painful and very inconvenient in comparison to pirated games. Pirated games offer many advantages: no DRM is the most frequently mentioned "feature", but also pirated games often were the only way to get the games in their original language (especially for those of us in countries whose primary language is not English). Keep in mind translations are usually awful, and were even worse back then. A bad translation could completely destroy a point & click adventure game!

Then came the joys of indie games, Humble Bundle, Steam, GOG, and easily purchasable and downloadable legal games. But you may still wonder: what can they offer against the price of zero from downloaded warez? Well, they offer the huge satisfaction of letting me help the developers. For me, that's very valuable. I won't cheat the devs of their hard-earned money, and I get to play games without DRM in their original language. The best of both worlds, and pirates can't compete with that!
Hmm, I just get a java.lang.NullPointerException.
Piracy offers DRM free movies that you can use anywhere, sure.

But very rarely does it have properly synced well-written subtitles, multiple audio tracks, and a quality encoding. Find a combination of those that works together without 30 minutes of fiddling with the subtitles and you've probably just wasted your weekend even if you frequent high quality private trackers.

It's also generally harder (not impossible, mind--same as the above) to find extras like cast/crew commentary, blooper reels, etc. These wouldn't be hard for studios to provide in some theoretical Movie-Steam.

Even in the case of games that don't use an internet connection to verify themselves, though, Steam is still more convenient--automatic patching without needing to try and find a new crack every time, no need to hunt down files or patches every time you want to reinstall, less concerns about malware, etc. If Steam had a monthly fee, I'd probably still see it as worth it up to a certain point--definitely not the 100$ you mention, but considering how much use I get out of it it isn't completely off the table.

Yes I was so mad when Windows 8 came out because of Metro and I thought if they had just released something that looked like Windows 7 and said, "We made it leaner, we cut the boot time by 40%. Shutdown is faster too and we made over 200 smaller improvements to make things easier." I would have happily said, "Where do I buy?"
No. Three issues.

First, your source doesn't deal (in ANY of its exhausting pages) with the implications of a defendant making false statements to an unknown government agent. In every situation it refers to, including those involving non-government agents performing government functions, the defendant knows they're disclosing something material to a government function of some sort. Read closely. (It is especially annoying how close the "Things the government must prove" page comes close to settling this.)

Second, SCOTUS disagrees with you. For instance, see Liparota v. US. The government is required to prove mens rea.

Third, 18 USC 1001 is ambiguous (there's a sprawling discussion on Volokh about it), and, where statutes are ambiguous, the rule of lenity requires that the ambiguity be resolved in favor of the defendant. Here, you raise the concern that 1001 is ambiguous as to whether the defendant must know both that they are lying and speaking to an agent of the government, or whether merely lying suffices. Tie goes to the runner.

Can you find a case where someone has had an upheld conviction under 1001 for lying to someone they didn't know was an agent of the government? I looked.

No, I don't think saying you don't go to strip clubs to a plainclothes cop investigating the Strip Club Strangler actually makes you a criminal.
When I clicked the link, I was certain it was going to be Stephen Wolfram.

Tearing someone down in order to build someone else up makes no sense. Why not just cut the snide comment altogether?
Are we certain it is illegal, though?

Grey/parallel imports for physical goods are not illegal in Australia. That is why I can buy a cheap DSLR camera that's imported from Hong Kong and sold by a Melbourne importer instead of paying twice the price for the "Australian" version at a local camera shop.

Netflix is actually very easy to set up, there are $2/month DNS services that make it very simple for even the technically inept to configure their Apple TV / iPad / computer to pick up Netflix in Australia. The combined cost of Netflix + DNS service is far cheaper than any local option, and the quantity of content is far greater.

The speed is not really relevant, I think. Whether it's legal or not — and whether it's likely to be enforced — the interesting question.
