Yeah, I've heard similar things from Prop 8 supporters. But my personal take is that (for some, at least) the very deeply personal thing they feel, which they feel like someone is trying to take away, is actually antipathy towards people and lifestyles which they haven't in the past had to recognize as legitimate.

I don't know, I think the opening of the Civil War could be replayed quite accurately in the modern-day America. The opening shots of the Civil War weren't Lincoln's troops firing on civilians in a random Rebel town, it was Rebel troops firing on a Union fortification which refused to evacuate.

I think this is exactly what would happen in the modern day.
And then, of course, there's the former Soviet Union...

Which makes me wonder ... why Visual Studio? If they're using the GNU toolchain, then they're just using VS for the IDE and eschewing all of the compiler-y and debugger-y bits. Don't get me wrong, VS is a top notch IDE, but so is Eclipse and it's much more affordable.
So we come full circle!

In 2006, we were talking about how Youtube was going to change how the news was reported, how all the media we were exposed to would no longer trace back to the same half-dozen companies. That started to happen a little bit, but it started to make more sense for content producers to band together and form networks, partially because of cross-promotion, but also because networks can sidestep Youtube's content ID system (which actually allows IP-holders to take down videos without confirming that they contain infringing content). Networks start to turn into ventures in their own right, established media companies like Time Warner start putting money into them, and now Disney has acquired the most comprehensive and successful network. The decentralized media dream dies again!

I wonder what Maker's future as part of an established company will look like. I hope the acquisition doesn't reduce the level of creative freedom Maker's talent has had in the past, because that seems to be what got them ahead of the other networks.

I think the theory is that once you have any beachhead onto a system, that existing local priv escalation exploits and network mapping techniques are almost always sufficient to complete the exploitation of your corporate network.

So if you have 5 people using 5 different email clients, all 5 of those must be kept secure from spear phishing or email-viewing vulnerabilities to avoid having a hacker get a beachhead on your network.

But if those 5 people are using 1 email client, you only have to keep that 1 safe (and you'd have to keep it safe anyways).

Monocultures are probably bad for drive-by automated hacking though, so I suppose it's a matter of deciding what threat model you're most at risk from.

>Presumably the shortage of labor was still real, and if they needed to hire people, but couldn't poach, then they hired them from the rest of the talent pool. If that's the case, then removing the "cold calls" from the talent search might have had the effect of actually driving up salaries for those not working at these companies, since potentially reduced the supply.

I don't think the evidence supports this theory.

If the illegal agreements had artificially raised salaries then you would expect salaries to remain the same or even decrease after the DOJ stepped in.

Instead, according to the WSJ, Google gave a 10% pay increase to all of its employees six weeks after the hiring collusion ended.

They'd be raising $250mm in the IPO. That wouldn't be the valuation of the company. Presumably, it'd be >$2B which was the value of their last private round.

"Of course it's very complex as it seems the weight of legal opinion is that Scotland will have to leave the EU if they leave the UK"

Citation please. Please stop recycling UK Mainstream Media "fag packet legal opinion" about whether Scotland would or would not have to leave the EU before being re-admitted via a lengthy application process.

And before you cite Barossa, that was one man's incorrect personal opinion. Thus far the EU has not ruled in any sort of legal way as to whether Article 48 (method of treaty amendment) or Article 49 (applications to join the EU) of the Treaty of Union would apply to Scotland.

Thus far the Scottish Government would like to use Article 48 rather than Article 49. Because there as never been a precedent of a new state seceding from an existing member state within the EU the whole position is untried.

> Countries that are only a century old aren't legitimate political entities?

The concept of nation usually revolves around having a common cultural background. In less than a century, I'd argue there may still be significant differences in the fabric of the country, and what may have been true 100 years ago when they creating the State may not be true anymore (i.e. people may want to break free from it again).
It is a fair point that you have to consider the null hypothesis. My experience, and granted its really only about a dozen startups where I actually know the full details of the deal, are either a "huge" win over an established (already public) company or a "huge" loss (the go out with no additional value). And I happen to know that in this specific case folks that were senior engineers at Google and are now senior engineers at Box, and at least one of them is happy they didn't choose to stay at Google. But like anything, Box could IPO and fall through the floor like Zynga (I doubt it, but it could) or GroupOn. Or it could do a Facebook and fall for a while and then recover quite nicely. So the play isn't over yet as they say. In my own experience if Google hadn't repriced everyone's ISO shares I would have made very little money on them after they had vested and I exercised them.

The key though is that its really really hard to compute the expected value of a share, even with Black-Scholes, such that you know what the right answer is :-)

I will say that I have not yet met anyone driving their life based on expected value of their choices who is really happy. I find that strange sometimes because when it is a conscious choice you would think they would be happy to be doing what they want, but so far haven't found anyone.
'preparing materials for them, must generally be budgeted as "teaching time". This must usually be paid by the institution's own budget (not by grants)'

Regarding battery life, I'd be curious to know how a modern smart phone would fare if you used it as infrequently as a dumbphone. When truly idle my nexus 5 seems to drain very little; it's the fact that it's so useful (and in turn so frequently used) that seems to be the issue here.
Watch this very carefully. I predict that this purported effort to curb bad behavior will in fact attempt to legitimize the very bad behavior most of us find contemptable. Having shined the spotlight on the really bad behavior, I predict this administration will then find an only half-bad solution to tout as a compromise.

Never considered that connotation, but a good point.

Personally, I take much bigger offense at the word "resources", because it is very dehumanizing. "FTE" is another term I'm not a fan of, because it's often used with fractional numbers like "1.5 FTE", as if we can chop a person in half.

Google was all about efficiency. In the early days, as with JSONP, the point was to eval the stuff. In some ways, it was a step back. Had we pushed for more E4X implementations we might have sent HTML over the wire instead, and would have avoided JS-based template languages, the overhead of converting JSON to at least one representation of HTML, etc.

Udrp outcomes?
we've had a customer who'd been trading as abc xyz xyz private limited for decades. they'd been using abcxx.com for years. but they forgot to renew at one point and a..cybersquatting firm? squatted on it. the last 5 years, this customer used abcxx.org and abcxx.net variously; the firm that owned the domain also offered it for sale, including to our customer. however, recently our customer finally started to reclaim abcxx.com via the udrp(although its a .com and the current owner of the domain is american, the arbitrator is in hong kong..maybe because our customer is singaporean). thing is, now the other side(after offering a reduced price from what they were previously asking for) is offering 'amicable settlement' -> handing the domain back free of charge. whats the catch? should we finish with the udrp process or should we take the offer up? why are they eager not to follow through with the udrp? in fact, in their offers, there's been a vague threat of having to take other legal actions to counter our actions.. what could they be?

The only advantage you would get with a Chrome extension is distribution platform (Web store). Chrome extensions are not in principle 'more dicoverable'.

Now it really depends on what your application does if you are considering donwloading and clicking on an installer a bigger barrier to entry then clicking 'Add to Chrome'.

In general, though Chrome does nothing to push users towards installing extensions from the web store versus downloading a program.

"Proper" referendums don't include shooting. Certainly, violence against a military installation will be met with overwhelming violence in return.

If they get bored and go home, that will be cool too.
Anything to do with project management or marketing.

Running a startup means having to juggle many priorities efficiently.
Being able to manage timelines/resources/deliverables etc requires a completely separate & necessary skill set to raise the odds of your startup surviving any reasonable period of time.

As to why marketing, read this: http://ventureburn.com/2013/07/dave-mcclure-says-silicon-val...

While its clearly a blanket statement, there is a lot of truth to what Dave McClure said.

Not knowing how to market what you've worked so hard on is pointless if you can't bring it to their attention in a way that makes them want it.

The other benefit of having project management/marketing knowledge is that they are transferable skills.
If your startup doesn't take off, you will be in a better position to take advantage of opportunities in pretty much any industry (and every industry needs good project managers and marketers).

Ultimately whatever you choose to major in, it's worth thinking about what transferable skills that degree could provide you.

I'd been thinking of generating fitted sewing patterns once, and did a very basic search of what existing software already does that. Based on the (bad) reviews of existing products, I suspect the problem of making clothes fit is harder than it looks. http://wildginger.com/ is one company to look at.

Of course, on the supply side, the best way to validate this is talk to some tailors about what their job entails, and learn how mass-produced clothing is made. I suspect that making this work would require finding a way to hire tailors very cheaply, in a location that's within 48 hour shipping distance.

I'd consider buying from a company like this, if I were confident that it actually would fit well, and the style I wanted was available in a lot of different colors. (Some parts of fit are personal preference - like the tradeoff between freedom of movement in the arms vs. clean-looking sleeve caps.) Also, as a woman who'se been shopping with other women, this should also work for womens' office clothing if it works for men. Differences in bust sizes add an extra variable to finding things that fit, and in certain styles (like fitted shirts and dresses that don't stretch), it can make things hard.
This just makes me angry at google. I was wondering when the big boys would become interested in web video, and it looks like it finally happened. It doesn't matter that monetization is difficult, that costs are unreasonably low right now, that production values are often lacking, etc. The fact is that web video has a huge future, and the potential has barely been scratched.

Google/youtube themselves don't even realize the potential, so they've been fucking around with minor feature changes and bullshit like google-plus comment integration instead of treating youtube like a serious endeavor and making big changes (like turning content creators into customers instead of plebian users that get treated like shit at every turn).

I mentioned them in order to find how colleges could best be disrupted from their position as gatekeepers to knowledge.

Let's take your town of 70,000 people as an example. How many people would you guess that would be interested in learning about physics? Would you say less than 20? More than 5? How many people would you envision is required for a decent physics meetup group?

I don't know Ryan directly or personally, but I think this whole situation speaks volumes to the effects of burn out, plaguing out industry.

I've also wondered why Ryan never reached out to his audience for people to intern during his downtime.

All in all, just my two cents on the issue, from two view points.
I recall wondering at the time why, if there was such a shortage of talented developers, newly minted lawyers were still making several times as much as good programmers. Now we know part of the reason why: Apple, Goole, Adobe and all the other big names in tech – except, apparently Facebook – were illegally colluding to pay talented devs less money. Since this was discovered, industry pay scales have gone up, while law salaries have dropped – now it's much closer. The thing that bothers me the most is that this illegal collusion suppressed wages for the entire software industry, robbing us all of money that lined the pockets of these companies. The plaintiffs in this case are by far not the only ones who were affected – Apple, Google, et al. stole tens of thousands of dollars per year from each person who was working in the software industry for the better part of a decade and the vast majority of us aren't going to get any of that back.
