One reason we pay so much more is that one lawsuit can cost a company billions. In a place like China, good luck suing anyone and actually winning.

Elimination of punitive damages or more importantly making punitive damages excluded from lawyer commissions would be a step in the right direction. Additionally, punitive damages ought not go to the complainant, but to the taxpayer and thus funneled into grants, etc for basic science research to potentially lower the costs of future development. The only person that benefits from a punitive award is the lawyer and the 'victim.' Lawsuits should not be a lottery ticket.
I personally didn't agree with any single point that you mentioned.
Photoshop and Fireworks didn't. That was their strength.

I didn't. Sure, offline drug dealers often cause violent crime, but online don't (apart from the accusation that DPR wanted to kill someone, but I stand firmly on the "innocent until proven guilty" side). The only people who buy drugs are the ones who want them, so you can't say they are victims.
But then you'll get to the overengineered static site generators, with their multiple markup languages, YAML, feeds, plugins etc.

I used to wear a Pebble watch every day and found it useful but not overly so. That needed charging every 5-7 days, and this claims to last a week on a single charge. I don't wear the pebble watch any more because as lazy as it sounds, I kept forgetting to charge it when it ran out of battery, and there were days where I was walking around with a dead watch, which was at that point essentially an expensive wristband.

With my phone, I know I need to charge it every day and it is a habit to plug it in just before I go to sleep every day. With the pebble, and I think this too, sometimes the battery would last 5 days, sometimes 8, and that irregular charging cycles means it's hard to form habits around charging.

It became annoying to remember to charge the Pebble and take it off and put it on again. The benefits from having it became less appealing. I fear the same might happen with this if I were to own it, and it would become a bulky iPhone case. At $129 it might be worth a punt but I'm skeptical.
The chromecast thing is great. It's an ugly little widget that comes in an overly-fancy box and does what it's supposed to.

However, it's terribly advertised, and it still annoyingly says "beta" all over stuff. I feel like I bought it out of some kind of anonymised side-door at the back of the warehouse.

Yeah, I agree, but I think it's been more like a year now. The immediate downvotes are so striking in their regularity that I suspected they may be automated (now I think it's unlikely).

So to the GP: I wouldn't worry about quick downvotes. Unless your post is obviously trolling or a low-content Reddit-like comment (which yours was not), it's highly likely it will be upvoted back into the black (and indeed, yours is in the black now).

> Photoshop isn't a digital painting application, if anything, that's what Illustrator is for.

You're wrong here. If you really mean digital painting, then Photoshop is the tool of the trade, mostly because of the brushes "engine".
I was standing behind someone in a queue for boarding a flight whose phone died from lack of charge as they were about to hand it over to be scanned - so having your boarding pass on an e-ink display might actually be a pretty good idea...
It depends on the drug, literally. As dependency for some types leads to addiction which can cause problems, some of those addicted to some particular drug can be said to be victims. Many other drug types are not that harmful and users would be considered consumers. And of course some legal drugs are also harmful (nicotine, alcohol etc)....
This is an amateur mistake. Makes me wonder what horrors lurk inside Steam itself...
That's the problem. You actually need to talk to your glasses which can be annoying and distracting to some people.

Now if you could talk to you devices without actually talking it would be great.

This is a very apt statement. It is not a surrogate for anything. Krita is its own thing. A tool designed very specifically for digital painting, and not trying to clone or replace anything. That it /can/ replace some things is a lucky coincidence.

If you are interested about Krita, may I also recommend checking out MyPaint? The two programs are similar but very different also, I routinely use them both.

What I like about Krita is that it's very powerful, its interface has a lot of stuff going on (not a bad thing, it's very easy to understand and use) and it's definitely the better digital painting application out of the two.

What I think works better in MyPaint is sketching and quick notes/drawing. It has the concept of infinite canvas where you can keep drawing and drawing and drawing. I also prefer its preset brushes over Krita's, but that's just personal preference. My normal workflow is, if I want to draw some painting with definite proportions and size and everything, I use Krita. If I just want to sketch something or jot down some notes, I use MyPaint. My last infinite canvas with MyPaint ended up being over 200MB of png with a very ridiculous resolution because I kept writing and writing and zooming and zooming all my notes and I didn't notice how big it actually became (I use it as a big whiteboard for sketching my projects).
Ah yes, cross platform video. The bane of anyone who has ever worked with videoconferencing systems. If you're still working on it (ditto for the authors of Be My Eyes) it may be worth getting in touch with someone along the lines of Pexip[1] to see if they're interested in assisting with infrastructure and handling of media so that it's possible to focus on wrapping that is some beautiful UX for this use case.

Security: A Linux Comparison
People, you are likely not a monster parent but the CPA and police are there to try to find the rare monsters. I understand resisting someone making rules for how you parent, and I support "free range" roaming "liberty fry" eating parenting, but just let the CPA search your house, see all is well, interview your kids. If they don't find dead bodies in your basement they will probably move along.

Another beautiful example of developer/user priority inversion.

All system architects ever:

1) System data are sacred, we must build a secure system of privileges disallowing anyone to touch them

2) User data are completely disposable, any user's program can delete anything.

All users ever:

1) What? I can reinstall that thing in 20 minutes, there's like 100 million copies worldwide of these files.

2) These are my unique and precious files worth years of work, no one can touch them without my permission!

There's no proof that the product is at a particular price point just because one of the needed components is expensive.

It might just be priced at what they perceive that the market is willing to pay, this is kind of a luxury product with very little competition, after all.
well, if you prioritize googles information on top of the other stuff, then there won't be an issue, as people would never find enough time to reach the other stuff, as googles information on the topic is very, very extensive.

sadly a lot of people are not very good at prioritising information intake, that is why i stick with my "do not read SEO blogs" recommendation.

the logic behind this is actually quite simple

let's say: x% of everything written in Z is bullshit (incl. deprecated or no longer valid).

let's agree that if Z is "seo blogs" then x is higher compared to the case where Z is "google recommendation", then it is always a better investment to read an item of x if Z is "google recommendation".

i would place the values of x something like this

if Z is "seo blogs" then x is 80
if Z is "google recommendation" then x is 20

>and read it with a pinch of salt

if we substitute "with a pinch of salt" with "flamethrower" then yes.
So in two years, it will be a thing of the past.

You probably have to read "inadequate support by adobe" as " we didn't have the money for the licence anymore, and adobe didn't want to give the software for free".
I suspect it would work out the other way round - code in a frequently modified section would be more likely to hold bugs because the requirements/understanding of that code is changing more frequently.
Alleged Silk Road Mastermind Claims Head of Mt. Gox Was Dread Pirate Roberts
People on /r/spacex have theorized (with the aid of comments from Musk) that running out of hydraulic fluid caused the grid fins to get stuck in an extreme position, which forced the rocket off course. Cold gas thrusters and gimbaling of the engine tried to correct this, but the end result was that the rocket had insufficient control authority to achieve a controlled landing.

Scientists have tried over at least the past few hundred years (depending on your definitions) to build, from scratch, a perspective on the world which is as free from human bias as possible. At the moment, the jewel in the crown is quantum physics: an inherently statistical theory, so detached from human biases and assumptions that many smart people have struggled to understand or accept it, despite its incredible predictive power.

At the heart of the whole process is statistical inference: generalising the results of experiments or observations to the Universe as a whole. A "statistical crisis in science" would be terrible news. We may have been standing on the shoulders of the misinformed, rather than giants. Our "achievements", from particle accelerators to nukes and moon rockets, could have been flukes; if the underlying statistical approach of science was flawed, the predicted behaviour and safety margins of these devices could have been way off. We may be routinely bringing the world to the edge of catastrophe, if we don't understand the consequences of our actions.

Oh wait, it seems like some "political scientists" have noticed that their results tend to be influenced by external factors. I hope they realise the irony in their choice of examples:

> As a hypothetical example, suppose a researcher is interested in how Democrats and Republicans perform differently in a short mathematics test when it is expressed in two different contexts, involving either healthcare or the military.

The article criticises scientists' ability to navigate the statistical minefield of biases, probability estimates, modelling assumptions, etc. in a world of external, political factors like competitive funding, positive publication bias, etc. and they choose an example of measuring how political factors affect people's math skills!

To me, that seems the sociological equivalent of trying to measure the thermal expansion of a ruler by reading its markings. What do you know, it's still 30cm!

Nietzsche said, in his funny and somewhat misogynistic way: "Supposing truth is a woman, what then? Are there not grounds for the suspicion that all philosophers, insofar as they were dogmatists, have been very inexpert about women? That the gruesome seriousness, the clumsy obtrusiveness with which they have usually approached truth so far have been awkward and very improper methods for winning a woman's heart?"

Look at this paragraph, now look at Peter Thiel's PowerPoint presentation. What if the very feverish desire to create a "successful startup" makes you fail?

Maybe the idea of the startup itself is the best startup. Look at all these people making money selling people ideas and tips on how to be a startup guy. I made a billion dollars, and so can you!

The article mentions the components of desire. Look at them again, now look at the feverish startup culture of Hacker news.

Everybody wants a recipe for success. Maybe the only successful recipe is selling recipes.

Facebook didn't start as a startup, neither did Google, neither did Craigslist.

"Having observed people helping one another in friendly, social, and trusting communal ways on the Internet via the WELL, MindVox and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events."

That's not a guy who's trying to create a startup and make a million bucks. It's a guy who's feeling a need himself, who trusts other people and wants to connect with them. It's a guy who's grounded in reality even if he feels isolated.

Here's some other ideas for slogans. Make something you want. Make something your friends want. Make something your local community wants. Make something your mom wants. Make something real. Spend more time thinking empathically about human beings than making "hand-crafted designs" and A/B testing your landing pages. Be a person. Don't make a "product."

* Bootstrapping is not really for big ideas.

* You don't have the resources as a bootstrapper to create new markets, most likely. Competition, or an identified need, are probably something you want.

* Sales definitely matters for bootstrapping, and you don't want to deal with network effects, most likely, as there is more of a first-mover advantage, which VC-funded competition could take advantage of.

No, in layman's terms: they're bullshitting in a desperate , last-ditch attempt, because any sane defense has a snowball's chance in hell (even less than this insane Scooby Doo-style 'revelation') and (apparently) the prosecutor didn't agree to any plea bargain (because let's face it, anything less than the 20 years this guy is looking at would be an awesome deal for him).

> Taking a known compound and searching for every possible form in order to find one that doesn't happen to have been documented is in fact something that is "obvious to one skilled in the art," because it's a widespread activity.

But it is not the activity (which describes, essentially, most research) being patented, it is the result of that activity. If the search space is very large, that is actually an indication of the non-obviousness of a solution that works in practice. Drug discovery certainly meets that criteria.
90 days seems just fine. What they need to do is give greater importance to bugs and apply more resources accordingly.

When it actually affects them, they aren't hesitant to do whatever the hell it takes, with no regards as to the consequences for others, with zero warning at all, as was shown during the whole fiasco when they effectively took down NoIP's services. Meanwhile, when Google holds them to a perfectly reasonable deadline, for the extremely valid reason that bugs should be fixed on time, Google is evil?

Given their scale, they can afford to dedicate larger teams of people to the task of fixing security vulnerabilities. They can afford to hire independent security researchers and whatnot to help them find and fix such vulnerabilities.

If they need to break some third-party application in fixing a security vulnerability, that's okay. Because that application can also be fixed by its developer, and security needs come ahead of an app here or an app there. Besides, it isn't as if users of Microsoft's products are not used to the concept of having stuff break all the time anyways.

Have you noticed how quickly MS starts releasing patches and updates when a 0day comes out? That shows that they are clearly capable of doing whatever they need to do pretty damn quickly. They just don't do that with all security vulnerabilities, due to "business reasons", and as a result their customers suffer.
