> What's atypical about this particular negotiation is that authors are the counterparty that have the most at stake, but have no seat at the negotiating table.

That's not atypical, authors lost their negotiating power when they signed up for the "gatekeeping" big labels. Only a few big divas have ever been really able to negotiate.
That's a good point and often passed over when talking about C4. It's a real shame, because that is a fairly large sticking point. There was an attempt to get the kernel changes needed by C4 pushed into the standard kernel, but I remember it got a lot of push-back by the kernel devs.
Ok so i'm trying your hosted version of the app. New user. I get taken to the New Entry page...

I haven't got a project, i can't create a project on the new entry page so i have to go round the houses to add a project.

I haven't got any categories... where do i add categories as i can't do it from the New Entry page... oh it's under my name... so round the houses to do that...

once i have done that, adding an entry on todays date (the 8th) then shows a popup that says "Jared worked for 5 hours on blah yesterday"

hmmm

The web site looks cool, but it sets off a whole bunch of red flags for me.

First of all it doesn't seem to be a game engine. Instead it's a 3d engine and some other libraries suitable for games packaged together. A game engine drives game logic, that's not what this does.

Second, there's no demos of games at all, if I dive into their github account I find some super trivial 3d scene demo's, no games.

Third, no asset loading libraries. Loading assets is one of the most important things, once you've got your game designed and implemented you are going to need assets, and loading assets is not a trivial thing. I personally abandoned a game we wrote almost entirely from scratch (only the physics engine was third party) just because we came at the point of needing assets, and it was clear that it would be simpler to just port our game to UE4 which has just come out.

Fourth, the go programming language is not very suitable for games at all. One of their main arguments is concurrency being a part of the language, concurrency is one of the least important aspects of making a game. In fact if you're a hobbyist just avoid it altogether, it's just not useful for anything. And even when you need it, setting up a simple message channel is simple in nearly every language out there. They brush off garbage collection, but the truth is Go won't perform any better than proper battle-tested game programming languages like C#, Lua, Java or even Javascript. And if you truly need a performant graphics engine, it's going to be either C++, C or Rust anyway.

That's interesting, and it affects how I see the f2p industry. I was never a big fan, but I figured it was fair 'enough' and ultimately acceptable practice to give people a taste and charge them for more.

But if it turns out there's a really small subset of people that spend a lot, too much probably, then it's quite possible that this business model relies, preys even, on people who have an addiction or similar problem.

With some exceptions, probably, like pay-per-episode games.

>The greatest way to piss of managers and colleagues is to have a poor grasp on what they have told you or asked you.

That is if they have communication skills (which most people lack), share the same domain knowledge (usually the guy already knows the problem, and you'll be figuring it out in the next days, so there's no way you can even ask informed questions). Plus recall bias, plus confirmation bias, not to mention pure bullshitting, especially when things go wrong.

Dependence on memory is a system error. It means there's something wrong with the process, or the workplace lacks proper communication.

Something about the "there are no settings to adjust" makes me want to fork Firefox and only apply security updates from the version before this new UI gets out of beta.

And tabs a click away? That's a nightmare.

Mixing what I type with search results, history and suggestions? Hello Chrome lookalike. I thought the separate search bar and awesomebar was one of the killer features for Firefox. Once that's gone, odds are I'll be switching browser.

Like with Firefox 4, it seems they are trying to redesign the browser like Chrome and doing it badly. Last time they did that I switched to Chrome for a few years before going back to open source (Firefox). Here we go again.

> Like the bookmarks and history manager. There isn't anything particularly wrong with these data-table windows, but I don't really enjoy using them either. In some ways I think they should be at the heart of the browser.

But they are at the heart of the browser. The Awesome Bar use words and tags of your bookmarks to propose you the right url after typing some character in the url bar. In the standard usage you do not need to open the bookmark manager (which is ugly, you're right) to use the bookmarks. It's automatic. You need to open the bookmark manager only if you want to know what you looked at at a certain date or do some housekeeping.

> Can you provide some evidence regarding intelligence of truck drivers?

Sure. This very article. Some non-truck drivers were apparently pretty impressed with the truck driver's book:

The review, written by the eminent atomic historian Robert S. Norris, began, “For many years, Coster-Mullen has been printing his manuscript at Kinko’s (adding to and revising it along the way) and selling spiral-bound copies at conferences or over the Internet.” Norris clearly considered Coster-Mullen’s understanding of the bomb superior to his own.

My own copy of “Atom Bombs” soon arrived in the mail, along with a sheet of testimonials from Harold Agnew, the former director of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, who was aboard the Enola Gay when it annihilated Hiroshima (a “most amazing document”); Philip Morrison, one of the physicists who helped invent the bomb (“You have done a remarkable job”); and Paul Tibbets, the commander and pilot of the Enola Gay (“I was very much impressed”).

Incidentally, can you provide some evidence regarding the intelligence of software engineers?

See how that feels?
OpenGL 2.x as base feature level is still a decent choice if you want to be truly multi-platform (e.g. also cover mobile devices). You can still get modern GL features with OpenGL 2.x selectively by using extensions if present. The only things that newer GL versions offer over extensions is a guaranteed support for certain feature sets (similar to Direct3D versions).

I was surprised to see this rise on the front page. Am I the only one who didn't get excited at all by this?

When I see a post titled "a browser experiment" from mozilla.org I tend to think I'm going to get more than some wireframes and talk about "busybees". It will be an experiment once some (any) of it has been built.

In any case from what I did see in the video I would say:
1) Bookmarks are broken, but removing them is probably the wrong approach. Tagged searchable bookmarks would be more useful - they don't need a bar in the ui, but make them full-text searchable and put them at the top of auto-complete options.

2) Tabs are an ingrained key-part of how people interact with browsers. They need to be (obvious) in the ui and easy to use. Do not go the mobile route if that is the plan. Tabs on mobile are the way they are because of constraints of the form - not because it is good ui.

There are quite a few other suggestions I would take issue with but I realise I am not the target market. E.g. I don't want or need huge tiles of sites I love - I can enter their url and autocomplete. If its a site I frequent it should be at the top of the list - navigating to it is not a problem that needs solving with more ui.
Bullshit. Amazon told Hachette & Co "we are granting ourselves a big discount, from now on we will pay 20% less than before.

But this Lightspeed experiment is at first, just an experiment. Moreover, it is heavily implied it is not going to be the new Firefox. He also suggests that the idea is targeted at more simple Internet users. As in, not us.

I am not concerned.
The second quote continues with "An OS itself should be easily portable to new hardware platforms".

The 1.0 release in 1994 only supported i386 machines. Only after considerable efforts and changes to the code Linux got ported to different platforms with 1.2 and AFAIK even the port to 68k and PowerPC for 2.0 needed again quite some work.

So, history proved him right. ;-) Of course, Linus didn't intend to write a portable OS but only one for AT clones.

Maybe Tanenbaum didn't foresee that Linux would jump across to that many different platforms that it eventually did but with his experience he probably already saw the possible need to port it to newer machines if Linux would be useful for some people.

Auto-suggestion: that's fine if I don't have it because when I search, I expect to see result displayed on the web page, which means I will spend most of my time on google.com rather than that looking at that tiny search bar.

> You know you can add keyword shortcuts to search engines and just type `dxr query` to send the query to dxr right?

You know why this Lightspeed idea exists? Because users don't need to consult you or a user guide to find out these fancy shortcuts. I am sorry, but true story. Actually, sample 20 Firefox developers randomly and ask them a bunch of Firefox shortcut and "hidden" features questions, I bet there is a high chance many of them can't answer or don't remember the syntax.

No. I don't want to do bookmarklet or bookmark. It's a simple feature.

My proposal is simple. Any real security risk? No. Privacy? You choose the search engine you want. Just because solution x y z exists, doesn't mean we can't make things simpler for both end users and power users.

You do, as it happens. In order to operate, all machines must pass fairness and randomness testing. They are also under a spot-check regime to ensure there are no post-manufacture changes or defects.

You're not playing as an investment/to win, you're playing because it's fun. The probability of winning is a factor that affects the 'fun' element.

Well note that most of the startups here are not doing any difficult or novel tech; it's the same old boring web + mobile stuff that every other high-schooler with a JavaScript book could do. The "hard things" startups face are mostly about staying in business (and only long enough to have "an exit" and kiss the surprised users goodbye), which is a class of problems you don't have when you're building a first nuclear bomb for the government.

You do realize that the submission discussion doesn't have to pertain solely to what was in the linked to article, right?

The topic is Firefox OS. Anything having to do with Firefox OS is worth discussing, and is perfectly valid discussion. That includes its problems. That includes how it is (or is failing to) compete with established players like iOS and Android. That includes the sorry state of the devices it comes with.

Deviation is perfectly fine. The point of the discussion is to share ideas. It's not to engage in mindless affirmation of whatever the linked-to article may say.

Don't use a license you don't want people to exercise. In fact I don't quite understand why you would open source the project at all if you are going to actively discourage people from using the code in ways that are permitted by common open source licenses.

If you don't want anyone else to make money from the project perhaps designing your application in clear parts and releasing them as open source libraries would have made more sense. Releasing the whole thing as open source, encouraging contributions while wanting to be the only one able to profit from said source seems wrong.
