The first successful MVNO in the US came only 3 years after the first successful MVNO in the UK and mobile number portability was put into law in 2003 for both the US and the UK. The additional benefit is that because mobile numbers and wired numbers share the same area code base in the US, US number portability is basically universal. I don't see the basis based upon your listed criteria for saying that the FCC cares any less or that Ofcom cares any more about promoting competition.

I didn't mean it that way, anyways, sorry if you think that way.

If the app's got problem, sure, I'll fix it. But I've tested it on multiple devices, and there are definitely a few people who have used it, and it has worked. I didn't test on ipod touch, so I can't say for sure if it'd work on it. I had built it mainly for iPhone, but the way it works is if you select device family 1, ipod touch gets included. And this person's review says something like ipod user.

So, the app could've crashed, because it was ran on a device I didn't build for? idk. I'll be taking a closer look next time.

Thanks anyways.

Also -- am I right that this is the first iPad to be able to create a hotspot? This changes the economics of mobile -- you can grab a data plan as you like it and when you like it, and use VoIP calling and so forth.

I wonder if the watch may be able to interoperate with a cellular iPad instead of an iPhone.

That I think would be fraudulent misrepresentation of who owns the content in question. In practice nobody would do that a thousand times and if they did it would still not be "copying". They would have had to pay for all the "copies" of the paper from which they cut off the article. They would have paid for all those "copies" and thus they would have the right to distribute them (unless a private contract prohibited that).

Misrepresenting the origin of the content could be considered fraud. But if you never implied that you created that content then maybe not.

That's easy to fix. Use iTerm2, and tell it to remap modifier keys (to unflip them). If you use mission-control shortcuts (like move workspace), configure those keys in iTerm2 to "don't remap modifiers"

Constitutions are social axioms. Without them, the laws float on the current of public opinion moderated only by a little bit of wisdom accumulated by legislators, judges, and law enforcement. Democracy without official limits on governmental power has long been considered a poor form of government.

Words that make up laws are not mathematical; to fill in the gaps in meanings of laws (the Constitution being the highest law), or to refine the application of a law, the intent of the lawmakers is looked at, and intent is usually determined by other writings by those lawmakers, and debate preceding the law's passage.

Whether or not inequality is a problem can be debated but we must be beware of that "I am from Government and I am here to help" trap.

--- Governments can play a constructive role in offsetting the snowballing tendencies if and when they choose to do so. --

Governments of course could play a constructive role into many things just the way my son could spend more time doing math instead of watching cartoons. The sad problem about human beings is that unless they get something out of it they wont do anything. Government have a strong incentive to tax everyone more and more in the name of inequality and environment but they have 0 incentive to anything about inequality using that money.

I would rather live in a world with extreme inequality rather than a world where government is trying to bring "equality".

Oh, I definitely agree, XP's playskool-esque design was way over the top, and OS X's excessive animations/reflections/etc. are obnoxious. It does seem to be getting better in that regard. I like most of Bootstrap's choices, and those seem to be diffusing out.
The ability to update easily is a very nice addition
Good point. It does create some very interesting price points. The iPad Mini 2 at 16GB is a really good deal (and definitely worth $50 more than the iPad Mini 1). Similarly, the iPad Mini 3 at 16GB is a terrible deal, but the iPad Mini 3 at 64GB is a much better deal than the iPad Mini 2 at 32 GB. I think Apple has actually done itself a bit of a disservice here -- they should probably have done something like: iPad Mini $229, iPad Mini 2 $299, iPad Mini 3 32GB $399, iPad Mini 3 64GB $499. Instead they have a bunch of SKUs that will just confuse people.

But I suspect that they'd planned to roll out an A8X iPad Mini 3 with the new screen and had to pull back from that plan, and this is where they ended up.

I frankly find it amazing that Apple can ramp up stuff this effectively, year after year. Consider that they're building a bazillion new screens in a new way and shipping it to a bazillion customers who are going to complain about the smallest defects.

Here, you got a separate SIM even with Apple phones. It's just how it's done.

The only toy I remember not having a separate SIM card was Amazon Kindle (the e-ink reader), and that's because they try to hide that the SIM is even there (and it's kind of weird).
Yes the name sounds very familiar also the information on the website is somewhat lacking but the idea itself is interesting.

My concern however is it's not really clear how doing mostly science can turn into a profitable business here, startups in the medical space are usually translational by nature. At the very least, if they are proposing affecting the medical space, they need to provide support for overcoming FDA approval. It's not clear how this is will happen given all the advisers are scientists...

I think he's talking about the Selective Service System aka the draft.

If you're male and haven't signed the document saying you will die for your country at the whim of a random number generator, you cannot apply for federal student loans.

Also In 40 states (+DC) it is a prerequisite for men to sign up for the draft before getting/renewing a driver's license (maybe any gov ID?). I suppose if that is combined with voter ID laws, yes there could be a subset of men in the US who match the clean description and are still unable to vote. That situation does not apply to women.

That's also assuming not registering for the draft (a max sentence of $250,000 / 5 years in prison) still can be called a 'clean record'. I think so.
This is a truly impressive undertaking.

However I wonder if there could potentially exist some trademark infringement on YC (regardless of whether they care or would even pursue any potential infringement.)

Part of the logo colors are similar, as well as the general concept of "startup accelerator", and most importantly the actual name.

From the site:

"We envision, incorporate, finance, support, and mentor a select number of startups that we are committed to make successful. Each startup is funded from the beginning for success, allowing the team to exploit new developments in physics, math, and the life sciences to create truly novel technologies and do the science enabled by being first."

I'm noting (after checking USPTO) that YC doesn't appear to have applied for a Federal trademark although obviously they quite clearly have the necessary common law rights and this name is certainly similar enough.

I don't see how you can draw any conclusions from the data you've provided. This ranking [1] of African countries by Human Development Index [2] has Ethiopia and Liberia ranked 36th and 38th respectively out of 50 countries - all countries ranked below these two (39 to 50) were colonized. You state that these two countries "have the lowest" standards of living; I think most people would argue with your use of "lowest" here. South Africa is ranked 9th, behind the likes of Botswana (6th) and Gabon (8th), and Côte d'Ivoire is ranked 34th. So you think a ranking of 34 out of 50 is high but one of 36 (also out of 50) is low? Or does your source vary significantly from [1]?

Well I appreciate your investigation into the entire article and associated content, that's awesome. Your dedication to the discussion is also key here because again, its not that I'm disagreeing with you in principle, but I think we're talking about about slightly different things.

Please please correct me if I'm wrong, but your perspective as I understand it right now is that if you code at all, anything, what you should adhere to is an equal practice of social concerns and responsibility as someone coding international train schedules that manage thousands of lives in transit. Anyone who doesn't teach, or doesn't want to learn that way... ?

Emil's quotes from the video speak, from my perspective, more to the reality of learning from the standpoint of no infrastructure. No real previous experience with code. We want to get people excited about technology, excited about learning to code. Part of that is making easy to grasp, making it easy to problem solve. Teaching people in ways that keeps them energized and self-sufficient to make quick progress, and see that progress happening. We want people to grow and study, to explore their interests in code and perpetuate their own learning. I don't see how what he recommends in the video goes against any of those principles as they are starting points to becoming a developer. Ways of investigating new code, ways to problem solve when you're stuck. Coding complex and life-changing pieces of software is not where it starts, its not what we're trying to, or claiming to teach.

But lets flip that. Lets assume I'm still totally off base here (that's alright, you don't have to assume, you can just keep thinking it! ;-)). How would YOU motivate and excite people to learn code. How would YOU educate them, help them take the first steps from total beginners towards being able to build pieces they can be proud of? What are the basic and easy to grasp, easy to understand "go do it"s for you within the context of software development as a total noob?

> the context in which something was written should be taken into consideration

Yes surely if we want to understand what they meant when they wrote their opinions. But those were just their opinions. They were not the law that was passed. A law is not an opinion. What is it? It is a text. Who interprets it? The Judges.

For a judge to say: "I rule this way because I think this is what Jefferson wanted" is a cop-out. It would be more honest for them to say: "I rule the law this way because I'm the one who interprets the law here".
I'm glad to see you guys picked up the pace big time. Really glad. Props.

Same here, on a 2012 Air. Performance is great but I've noticed a couple Safari crashes/freezes. Finder crashed once I think. Also had trouble with Dark Mode+Reduce Transparency, but those are just beta issues and since GM1 the only issue has been the weird black corners of the volume popup.
I guess I heard talk about SWEBOK, but honestly didn't have it in a context that lead me to compare it to guilds and unions like that.

Microsoft made IE more standards-compliant than Netscape because this was a competitive advantage for Microsoft. It's a common tactic for companies when the dominant supplier has a 90% market share.

Remember "Best viewed with Netscape Navigator"? Netscape wanted to control the web by defining and unilaterally introducing web standards, so Microsoft naturally allied itself with the W3C.

It was short lived because Microsoft effectively abandoned browser development following anti-trust action, because it decided it could/would only ship browsers with operating systems. This turned out to be a bad choice because of the long delay between XP (which included IE6) and Vista. The slow take-up of Vista made it even worse. Microsoft didn't want people to use IE6 or XP, but the market decided otherwise.

All this goes back to the consent decree that Microsoft signed with Janet Reno. This specified that Microsoft was allowed to improve the operating system by adding new features. This more or less required it to build IE into the OS.

Microsoft was already under investigation during this period, and for the decade after the case, Microsoft operated under the close supervision of a US Judge. Whether or not you think its actions were scummy, it's unlikely they were illegal. Indeed, during this time, Microsoft was certainly easier for third parties to deal with than Netscape -- see High Stakes for examples.

As for political donations, this was also inevitable. Netscape couldn't compete in either technology or marketing so it played politics instead. Microsoft had operated on the basis that it wouldn't get involved with politics, and then it got screwed for its neglect. It simply decided not to make that mistake again. As anyone would.

Either way, Netscape was doomed in the long run. It was deluded in thinking that people would pay for a client access program. (You're welcome to provide examples of companies that have made pots of money out of this, but usually the client is free and people pay for the service.)

Netscape was even further deluded when it thought that it could charge PC manufacturers to ship its browser. The reality is that companies have to pay PC OEMs for distribution.

The final delusion was that users would pay a price for Netscape Communicator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Communicator in order to get their hands on Netscape Navigator.

You really don't need any conspiracy theories to understand why Netscape lost. It had a combination of arrogance and incompetence the like of which I have not seen before or since.

One thing to consider - how quickly do you need to know whether the node on the other end has gone off to see the wizard?

With TCP, it might be a while - you may not get notification that he's gone until he comes back.

So you end up with keepalives, and... might as well have used UDP if your media can stand it.
> then the health regulations about how cows should be raised should be the same in both countries.

As you point out in the copyright example, this is an immediate race to the regulations that are best for businesses. So in this plan, Japanese consumers would be subject to health regulations constructed on behalf of corporations by a broken and regulatory-captured US political system.

Ultimately, the health regulations of their food would be that imposed by US companies, regardless of the political actions of the Japanese electorate.

This is not harmony, it is discord.

That behavior is unspecified. The result might vary through compilers, but there is no undefined behavior.

If your program can handle the functions being called in a different order you are safe, which is different from u.b. where the compiler can ( theoretically )do anything.

Normally what I've seen is, develop on OSX and then push to Heroku (Linux) / <infrastructure provider of choice, running a Linux VM>. Why then wouldn't the natural progression be, develop in boot2docker and push to <docker PASS of preference>?
Alexia Tsotsis: The Press Is A Tool
@galaxyLogic:

Yes but judges are people, and their decisions are based on what they believe the rules they're enforcing mean, and they are interpreting those rules based on parsing the meaning according to their theory of how you comprehend text which, for most people, comes down to "am I understanding this sentence as the person who wrote it meant it?"

So if we want to predict, understand, or shape their decisions we are perforce interested in both what they currently think those rules mean and what and how we might persuade them differently. There is no cosmic law that will determine whether our idea of what is right will prevail -- we are a nation of humans and not cosmic laws.

Imagine you are a successful actor who is convinced that he does not need to pay income tax because he has read the constitution and according to his reading he does not need to pay income tax. Even if he is "correct" for some value of correct, it does him no good when the IRS shows up at the door.

Actually, having a second monitor to the side at an angle does wonders for neck strain. A single flat monitor, in contrast, means that the edges are going to be pretty far away from your head. Of course, that could be fixed with a curved monitor, which are coming, though the curves aren't very dramatic yet.
