Uh ? Fair use is (part of) a law. Laws are not subject to fair use. You are subject to laws, and yes, this changes some aspects of the legal concept that is called fair use (quotation rights), and that simply changes fair use.

Quoting Spanish news sources should no longer be considered fair use inside of Spain.

Laws can be subject to other laws (and judicial review). But yeah, fair use is an American Thing.

> I've always thought teenagers are the biggest market for bitcoin, they're less likely to have a bank/credit card.

Which makes it rather difficult to obtain bitcoin in the first place.

> Knowing you can now exchange bitcoin for Xbox points makes accepting bitcoin a lot more attractive.

One major reason for the popularity of the cards you can buy in various grocery/department stores providing points/credit for the various stories (Google Play, iTunes, Nintendo, Xbox, etc) is precisely because you can buy them with cash, redeem them at the online stores, and use the resulting credit to make purchases, all without using a credit card. This really doesn't solve that problem, it just shifts that problem to "how do you obtain bitcoin?"

Idea for a business model: make Bitcoin gift cards, and get them into the various grocery/department stores.
> As an American I watch Europe pretty closely, and I've seen some things that are worrisome such as increasing amounts of fascism (anti-freedom / anti-privacy)...

As a European who watches the US, I hope the irony of your statement has not escaped you.

The NSA, the Can-Spam act, the TSA, Guantanamo Bay, how Obama gave a kill order on a US citizen without due process, how the hardline christian right and hardline libertarians across the pond would make most of our local extreme right wing clowns look like socialists, how some major libertarian voices in financial news are regularly cheerleading whacky anti-Europeans, the list could go on ad nauseam.

> Even Finland's per capita GDP hasn't increased since 1990 inflation adjusted. How long can such stagnation continue before there are severe consequences.

Doesn't sound so dire... The main reason that inflation-adjusted income has increased in the average US family unit since the 1970s is that it went from one bread earner to two. (See e.g. Elizabeth Warren's research on debt or her books, for instance The Two Income Trap, for the gory details.) I'm not seeing pitchforks.

In more seriousness, this is not meant to be a contest. The point is that things aren't as bad on the continent as you might read in Anglo-Saxon news outlets.

There's some uneasiness and some distress, sure. Here, like on the other side of the pond, the main cause of it at the end of the day is economic woes, most of which stem from bailing out the well connected instead of having let the financial system collapse -- for better or worse.

The most important take away, imho, is that we're at peace. Consider... Since the fall of Rome, we had been almost constantly at war with each other. Whereas besides the Balkans in the 1990s, and the ongoing skirmishes in Crimea, there has been no war here since WW2. That's the longest period of peace between Europe's major powers in history. And thankfully, no ending of this streak is on anyone's radar.
It's under assault, though.

That's a great insight, it's incredible as adults how much we take credit cards for granted. An increasing proportion of my non-essential spending (e.g. non-food expenses) now come from online shopping and it's an incredible business opportunity for companies to accept something other than credit cards online, either for teenagers or for adults who can't get a credit card for whatever reason.
Not exactly; the concept of fair use exists in the Berne convention, it's not just an American thing. Unfortunately, the convention only allows countries to establish fair use, it doesn't mandate it.

You should be able to get up and running with Go extremely quickly if your default language is C.

If there's a reason you must be using C rather than another language (require manual memory management, require code to be as fast as possible, etc.), then Go might not be applicable. Otherwise, Go feels like an updated C and I don't see a compelling reason not to invest a little time in checking it out for yourself.

1. Patent pendency times are dropping rapidly these days. The large delays in the early 2000's were allegedly due to an informal internal "reject, reject, reject" policy at the USPTO instituted by the director at the time.

2. Patents may not be important to startups, but having patent applications certainly is. They help a lot in securing VC financing. There are multiple studies and surveys showing this. One less obvious reason why VCs may be interested in patents is studies also show a strong correlation between having patents and making successful exits.

"the worse the better", I am happy about this.

Articles about this have been going around Spanish news aggregators for a while. Now that there's an official statement from Google, message will finally go around the world showing what kind of stupid laws the Spanish government is passing around with the influence of the powerful copyright lobbies.

Now, about the recent Spanish Intellectual Property reform. The particular reform affecting Google is actually called the AEDE tax. This reform will affect any news aggregator operating in Spain.

AEDE stands for Asociación de Editores de Diarios Españoles, as in Spanish Association of Newspaper Editors. This private association, together with another one called CEDRO, will take care of collecting this tax. Even if your publication is not associated with AEDE and because this reform is law, they will have the obligation to collect it.

This reform smells exactly the same as an old anti-piracy law. Just change AEDE for SGAE (another association, related to authors and editors). For a while, any kind of media support was subject to this tax. Any media support, including hard drives and even cameras, on the pretense that these might be used to store content subject to IP. This law was derogated on 2011, but not completely. Now it's the state the one who pays this tax to SGAE. I can see this AEDE tax having poor results, and either the public or the state ending up having to pay for it.

Funnily enough, this just shows how weird and different some people think. This tax is proposing that news aggregators cause loss damage to news producers just as torrent aggregators cause damages to Warner. Note that this IP reform also includes fines of around 150k to 600k euros for running a site that links to copyrighted material. Before, it was only an infraction if a site was causing "significant damages". This has been eliminated, as in, any damage is a significant damage.

Just as a remark, let's not confuse this with the so-called "Google Tax", which is related to stopping Google and other big co's from evading taxes in Europe and has nothing to do with intellectual property. To be fair, I do not even know by now, as they call "Google tax" anything that is going to affect Google, nevermind.
I am also not an Android developer, so don't know how to get started using Go for Android. Do I need to set up a Java skeleton first so it can call my Go code? Use Android Studio or other IDE? libraries needed? You know the basic set up and steps for producing a 'Hello World' app.

What is meant by "Microsoft accepting bitcoin" is that you can buy things from Microsoft using bitcoin. Customers don't care about the details of currency exchange on the back-end.

That's silly. That's like saying any brick and mortar small business doesn't accept "credit" because they use a payment processor to process their credit cards. Or that places on the Canadian border don't "accept Canadian currency" because it's immediately exchanged for USD. The fact that not-Microsoft is processing the payment in bitcoins and exchanging it into the currency that Microsoft wants doesn't mean that you can't buy the intended good from Microsoft with bitcoins.

What were you expecting, 100%? This is a new technology. Obviously most people are going to be "cautious" about it.

Think about it for a second.

Now look back at Bitcoin 5 years ago and compare where we are today. You're really not putting things into perspective.
No, Microsoft is not accepting Bitcoin. Microsoft's hosted shopping cart program, like several other shopping cart programs, is now handling Bitcoins for merchants who accept them. Microsoft's page says: "You can only use Bitcoin to add money to your Microsoft account and then purchase digital goods at select Microsoft online stores. You can’t use Bitcoin to purchase Microsoft products and services directly at this time."

So this is apparently for Microsoft partners who want to accept Bitcoin. Any idea which partners do? Microsoft's site is rather unhelpful; it keeps demanding a login.

This is more of what I was looking for, rather than the case where you have a self-signed CA, but also a cross-signed CA. Is there a way you can create a certificate chain that you could send to two clients, one with the SGC and one with the UserFirst, and both would accept the chain as valid?

> Which makes it rather difficult to obtain bitcoin in the first place.

True, but now with Bitcoin a teen can do work for pay over the internet (I assume minors cannot easily get a paypal account). I've seen teens draw incredible art, make avatars, do minecraft related tasks, light programming, etc. So while it's not easy, there is a way for them to obtain it.

I remember scheming for ways to make money online when I was a teen, but my only options were to get someone to send me cash in the mail, or have my parents cash a check (after asking me a bunch of questions as to why someone was sending their 14yr old a $100 check).

Hop over to btc-e and watch thousands of teens daytrade altcoins while chatting, it's eye opening.

It's not really a suggestion. I realize it's an expensive and far flung prospect for them to ever make a successful search engine. That still doesn't change the truth that without their own search engine they have to sit on the sidelines and let other companies grab influence over the development of the web and be in a better position to make web-centric products.
