I'm can buy that the bounce it's not a classic bounce, but that doesn't answer the parent comment. If the ejected matter has sufficient energy to reach escape velocity, where does the additional energy come from? Does the theory hypothesize that some of the matter is converted to energy?
On larger code bases it can help a lot. You get to a point where you need that config object over in some random function and you start weaving it through constructors. At which point a simple DI system really appeals.

DI code also tends to be more pleasant to test in my experience since it promotes loose coupling.

I thought about this idea -- only displaying comments from users with high ratings or whatever -- but decided it would break conversations. Users would see comments, but not some responses or worse, some responses without the original comment, etc.
I was in your position when i bought a (most likely) a much smaller company (200k rev) in a totally different industry (cleaning), the previous owner did everything manually and on paper, like EVERYTHING. I knew i didnt want to do this and also was going to get rid of it anyway. I wasnt that skilled at the "people" part of the business either (much better now) so i enlisted the help of my best friend, hired him to basically run the company day to day. Then i did what i'm good at, eliminating the unnecessary repetition, basically, i automated a LOT of the companies operations.

Now the company doesnt take that long to maintain on a day to day basis and is MUCH easier to deal with and isnt as fragile (less single points of failure). Theres still improvements to be made and we're working on that, but now it takes much less skill to be able handle the day to day, it doesnt need a CEO, just needs an administrator.

* Hire someone that is good with people, because you cant automate that.

* Automate as much of the admin crap as possible.

* For things that you cant automate, but does repeat, you can establish processes to be followed instead.

This might be totally irrelevant to you, but it worked for me very well.
The problem is he specifically tried to figure out if that was the problem and google wouldn't say. Perhaps he got the banhammer for not getting using a (TM) after the brand name in the descriptions. Perhaps he's actually in trouble for not getting permission for some of the content in the screenshots. All of that is probably a good idea. But specifically, he will never know why he got the banhammer and we will never know either.

The problem with whatever-as-a-service business model, is you're never worth more than a penny more to the provider than the cost of sales to replace you when/if you leave. So, people are throwing themselves at google to be an app dev, so I guess he's worth precisely nothing at all to GOOG.

A business relationship where one side is worthless to the other is best described as parasitism and often that doesn't turn out well for the parasite. That is the true lesson for all app developers to learn from this story. An inherent part of the biz model is you can get annihilated and the host (host as in parasite lifecycle model) will not care. Make sure you understand that, when making business decisions.
There was no crime (at least no criminal prosecution of one form or another) and no punishment. There was a violation of the contract the OP agreed upon and the other party decided to make use of their right and terminate that contract. That other party has no obligation whatsoever to continue to uphold the contract or not make use of the clause which allows them to exit. The other party is also under no obligation to provide someone some leeway to “learn the ropes”. Lastly, the ropes which the author failed to learn are founded in civil and criminal law, not in the ToS of the other party specifically. Since ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse to violate said law, there is particularly little reason for anyone to give the OP any sort of leeway to learn obeying the law.

TL;DR: Don’t trust companies with important stuff if you are not certain to have appropriate forms of recourse if they decide in a way you don’t like. Don’t ignore civil and criminal law because they’re just “rules”. Read the terms of service if you agree to them.
It sounds like you essentially just want a business manager. A CEO is often the face of the company, heavily delegating and focusing on the big picture rather than personally managing each staff member and handling stock. All of that may simply be semantics, but it really does help set expectations when making that hire. If you hire a business manager, you'd doubtlessly need to hand over some equity, but I don't think I'd label the position as CEO.

DDD was new to me, and I was wondering how sorting all previously visited states could be faster than checking a hash table. The answer appears to be:

1. Duplicate detection is done delayed and in bulk, not after expanding each node

2. The linear memory access of the bulk check is more cache friendly than random-like hash table access

Allow me to quote from the first Google result:

Surprisingly, delayed duplicate detection is useful even
when all nodes fit in memory, resulting in reduced running time due to improved cache performance. In the
standard implementation of breadth-first search in memory, the Open list is stored in a hash table. As each
new node is generated, it is looked up in the hash table,
which often results in a cache miss, since the hash function is designed to randomly scatter the nodes.

I did this as a kid - serious fun. Used the americium from a smoke detector as a source, after several abortive attempts to build a synchrotron... The third time you wind several km of copper just to end up melting it is the last time, it turns out - particularly after you explain to your parents what exactly it is you're trying to do.

Either way, a small radioactive source is just great for some neat photos and the occasional decay trace.

Leftovers from my melty mess went into a tesla coil, so not all was lost.

For my money, downvoting is entirely necessary. You know how a comment like "R u srs? Luv this vid!" is normal on Youtube? I want users to downvote the living hell out of that comment. I want the WORDS community to hold each other to a much higher standard.

Downvotes seem like the only way to actually maintain order.
I find it amazing that everyone here seems to be a lawyer or extremely well versed in the rules while agreeing with them.

What's wrong with packaging other people's content as long as you're not profiting from it?

If the content owner wants it removed there should be a way to request that while not negatively affecting the developers account.

Plus the whole 3 strikes rule seems a bit too strict for me especially if it's going to be enforced so heavy handedly for what is obviously a minor issue that could have been resolved by a email conversation.

Not to mention other Google accounts like Google Wallet and Google Music getting banned for something like this.

What does one have to do with the other? Do you mean to tell me if i get banned in the Play store all Google account on all services get banned including my Google drive, Google docs, gmail etc

Doesn't that seem a bit absurd to anyone?

How would you like your entire music library deleted because your developer account got banned?
If you were bigger you'd be looking for a COO - Chief Operations/Operating Officer.

A CEO does strategy, fund-raising, investor relations, and top level PR and interviews. CEOs don't primarily deal with the details you're describing - although in startups they sometimes have to.

If you want to be more down to earth about it, hire an office manager to do stock/order management and perhaps some HR, and a temp or book keeper to do the boring paperwork.

How? The usual places - online jobs boards.

If you don't like the paperwork I'd make sure you get an accountant to keep on top of the even more boring things like tax and PAYE. Otherwise the Revenue will hit you with a giant bill and close you down.
The author should also do a quick search (perhaps with bing, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo) on PayPal accounts being blocked. He recommends this as the safe option, trusted option, but I have seen more PayPal banned for life rants than google ones. With PayPal you can loose your account just because your customers are using stolen cards.

The lesson should be that basing a business on any single external resource could be an issue, and you should approach it carefully.
The Voynich manuscript "tie in" I see as just another interesting digression while talking about Ethel's life.

But the Boole family bit ties in thematically in that it provides two people who represents two contradictory possibilities for the future:

The stagnating world described in the first part of the article where nothing changes because we're locked in place by technology, represented by Hinton's view of time as an illusion, where it is just what part of a static four-dimensional landscape we see that changes.

Or a future where things are allowed to change again, represented by Ethel, whose novel inspired a generation of revolutionaries, and who herself continued to believe in change to the end.

This guy here writes an app called "Sex Diaries Alpha", and has it rejected because of pornographic purpose. He then assumes that its because he used a picture a cartoon donkey as the icon, so he reploads "Sex Diaries Test" with a picture of a cartoon girl instead.

More repetitions follow. He never once thinks its perhaps the name 'sex diaries' or the stated purpose of the app. Nope, maybe its the fact that this picture has a nipple, or this is cartoon bondage.

> http://andrewpearson.org/?p=681

This guy writes an app and stuffs it with 100s of keywords (as one could see by checking the same app in the 3rd party app store), then he complains he isn't in violation because you could play all those artists through his generic music player, and google didn't cap the number of keywords you could use. So he's not in violation. He knows this for sure, because he's an attorney.

> https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/android-develop...

This guy says that Google transfered $4000 of android sales into his adsense account so they could pay him for non-US sales, but they failed to verify his account since he didn't have $10 worth of adsense budget. Then they disabled the entire account due to invalid clicks on a dead-end blog. If his story is actually true, he should get a lawyer and I feel this is really the time that Google customer service would be nice.

Sounds more like a COO (i.e. operations head) role rather than a CEO role to me.

Having co-founded a UK company which ended up with a number of CEO/COO folks over the years I would be very careful about the structure you put in place - especially if there is any chance of having outside investors who might align themselves with the new CEO rather than you founders.

Maybe make one of the existing founders CEO, mainly to have someone for the COO to report to?

NB I also found that "normal" managers were appalled at having someone in their team (i.e. who notionally reports to them) who actually had more power than they did.

So you complain about being ignorant about copyright laws then demonstrate complete ignorance of them. Copyright has nothing to do with it.
You need a COO and if you can afford one, you should hire one. What you appear to want to do, set the strategic vision and lead the team, is exactly what a CEO does. A COO makes sure that vision is executed on a DAILY basis and that's what you want. A good COO is a beautiful thing for a scaling business, go find one!
Almost like how Youtube ignores copyright and trademark laws.
Lots of sound-bytes and flakyisms in that one.

It is, of course, true that large monied interests have an interest in stability (I'd like to cue the arguments against having a Great War, "It'll be too expensive, no one would dare", circa 1913 or so).

It's also true that politicians have to be extremely careful of saying stupid things, or things that can be taken out of context, or things that might offend people they don't want to, because of the prevalence of technology and the "Gotcha" approach certain classes of media prefer. Which too is also a hindrance to change.
It's a misrepresentation to cast the account suspension as if it was a punishment for a crime.

Google has the right to terminate a business relationship with partners who violate their terms and conditions and ignore their warnings.

Developer account with Google is not a birthright. The provision of it is a business relationship conditioned on following certain rules which the author broke multiple times and despite warnings.

Two Founders, Two PR people and One Engineer....

Good structure :¬P
Their policies don't necessarily need to be due to 'ethics' or laws, but just their opinion of what makes a good marketplace.

Perhaps they feel that repackaging other peoples content leads to needless confusion about what is official and not, since anyone and their cat can put up an app that wraps a Youtube channel.

Maybe they feel that apps like that are low quality, so to set a bar they'll restrict it to only the actual rights holders who have a more vested stake in making a good app.

It's really a business decision.
Yep, so glad that this feature exists. Hope everyone else follows suit.

"What's wrong with packaging other people's content as long as you're not profiting from it?"

Everything, and the "you're not profiting from it" part is completely irrelevant and can be skipped from the sentence.

Redistributing other people's content without their consent is simply not allowed, and the fact that they have made this content freely available on channel A doesn't give you permission to make it freely available on channel B.

And no matter what position you take on copyright, impersonating their name, as the original poster had done, is clearly unethical and unexcusable.

The Halting Problem (And other things computers cannot solve)
Packaging another person's content should result in an immediate take down of an app. A content owner should not have to opt out of other people using their material, that is akin to telling people you can use someone's stuff until they catch you. I put along the lines of, would you let people use your house just because the door was open? Take your car? It is content/stuff you own. Why do some many discount digital content in value?

In some ways the www is still the wild wild west, anything goes until they come looking for you. Looking for gold on another person's land and such.
Well if the copier is intelligent enough it would easy and not time consuming at all to change the code in ways that would prevent such infringement laws to step in.

Zillow to Buy Trulia in $3.5B Deal
Do you really think Gmail's business email is collecting arbitrary one-time fees of 50 cents on minors' accounts? Is this really any more than a rounding error compared to advertising revenue, charging for extra space, and providing email services to companies and schools? The whole $0.50 thing may be a scummy tactic, but it really doesn't seem to be their business model.
Your position is a common response: paint the affected individual in such light that you can safely state he's different from you, and making it obvious this wouldn't possibly happen to you.

The important facts, irrespective of the correctness of app suspension are:

a) App suspension led to Google Wallet suspension. Google Wallet can be used as a payment processor, so this decision could have affected entirely independent revenue streams. It's inexcusable for Google to do this!

b) Google support is awful. This is a known fact. AdSense suspensions are probably the most common. I've been affected by one. Google does not answer. Ever. Period. (well, if you're lucky you get a canned response).

The conclusion is that an irresponsible and deaf company now holds power over huge swaths of people.

I'm uncomfortable. And so should you be.
This is ludicrous. Do you have any evidence to back up any of this?
You're exactly right. The backend source code is here: https://github.com/fivedogit/words-backend but there's no way to know for sure that it's the same code running on the backend other than my word.

Seems like this might be a good business for someone to start, matching a github repository to a running server; third party verification that said code is actually what's running on a server.
