I used to explain the problem of of DRM as giving the delivery companies the keys to your house so they can not only stow the goods right in your shelves, but also help themselves to whatever you have there. It seems like people generally like that idea.
The most frustrating thing for me, while watching a new generation of users grow up on Dropbox and similar functionality, is that this sort of thing should really be in the Operating System by now, as a standard feature.

But it seems the OS vendors have lost their way and are chasing shiny colors and new hardware, as usual.

Wasn't so long ago you kind of expected a new filesharing technology to be built-in to the operating system. But it does seem like those days are over - the line keeps getting redrawn, which defines what an "OS" is, to most people. At this point, at least in the case of Dropbox, the Web seems to have driven us all mad.

Store your stuff outside your house, on someone elses hardware? Really?
I feel that Google/Apple should have been hit with an antitrust policy already some time ago.

So is Apple fanboyism. There are laws that prevent Ford from requiring you to only service your vehicle at Ford dealerships. There are also laws that prevent Ford from restricting sales of third-party after market parts in franchised dealerships. Not a good comparison.

Replace 'institution' with 'shareholders'. That's why banks like DB trade for a price to book of < 1 (0.6 today).

These settlements are a direct transfer from people's 401k to the pocket of politicians.

> More than $5 billion has flowed into New York’s state and city accounts this year from settlements with BNP Paribas SA over sanctions violations and Credit Suisse Group AG for helping Americans evade taxes. In the city, the bounty has already funded a $160 million program to outfit police with tablet computers and a $35 million initiative to prosecute rapists. The New York governor plans to use a big portion to rebuild Rochester, Syracuse and other upstate cities far removed from the banks and their crimes. [0]

That's funny to me because my experience was the exact opposite. After an undergrad experience of Java, C, C++, Python (at least from the OO/C-likes) on *nix systems, trying C# 5 w/ VS2010 + ReSharper was some kind of transcendent experience.

I LOVE the language and I've found the entire ecosystem fine. There are some corner cases for some more advanced systems level stuff, but I've yet to be unable to do something I needed to.

Java feels like a clunky dinosaur to me now. But hey, different strokes for different folks.
Yes, and local authorities already have delivery services set up for them. You don't even have to place an order. Just park your car in a designated zone and wait. Amazon could learn from their efficiency!
We're delivering CHM now and migrating to shipping folders with plain-old-HTML. Customers get the same content locally when they press F1 as they would if they found the documentation online.

Note that if you ship HTML files onto the user's hard drive you may have to implement Marks of the Web on each page so the page is rendered as part of the "internet zone". If you don't, certain javascript features (namely AJAX requests) are disabled as they could be a security risk. Alternatively, ship a small webserver to handle the AJAX requests.

The post is based upon an ACLU Poll but does not link to the primary source--bad journalism IMHO.

The details of how the question was posed can have a huge impact on the result. To evaluate the reliability of the poll you have to know the questions asked and the methodology. Even then it is a difficult task.

Likewise, the method of choosing the sample to poll needs to be described in detail. Self-selected sample don't ever produce reliable results. Biased samples reflect their biases.

Given the prevalence of weasel words about the Snowden awareness of the sample (a paean to journalistic accuracy), I suspect that none of those polled had any deep knowledge of what Snowden revealed and that the results reflect media evaluation rather than a reasoned opinion.
Java the language may suck, but the JVM rules. Microsoft's idiotic stance to make C# and the CLR windows only for the last 15 years basically made it largely irrelevant outside of pur MS shops. I program C# for a day job and it doesn't matter how awesome the language is, because the entire eco-system until recently was hampered by being MS-only.

We are slooooooooooooooooooowly seeing the ship turn around with NuGet, and many MS-build libs appearing on Github and the CLR and compiler going cross-platform but it's 15 years too fucking late to matter.

Java and the JVM won.
> If you want to hack, you should deal with the consequences.

w0rmer got caught because he forgot to strip exif data from the bottom of one of his leaks. He had his girlfriend take her tits out with a sign saying, "You got pwned by w0rmer" and that was that.

I couldn't disagree more that he deserves to be punished. He doxxed some police officers because of police brutality. Stop fearing 'hacking', and start realizing it's one of the few things where citizens are on equal grounding with our government. He didn't cause any damage, besides making some police officers feel uncomfortable... Yet probably not as uncomfortable as their victims.

Each and every one of these idiot hackers willing to risk their livelihood and families for a little civil disobedience should be celebrated for the martyrs they are.
The reason I am not committing to Dropbox Pro is because I need to use such a service when I'm in China (and with people in China). Setting up an EC2 server, configuring apache or nginx, setting up some access control, etc., goes completely against the whole idea of Dropbox being simple. Also, it's one way, unless you go to extra lengths to setup some upload system. Of course if this is something you use several times each day then it's worth setting up, but for occasional use it's really an overkill. By the way, no, I haven't found any good substitute for Dropbox that works in China.

You bring up the real-time component, which is something we didn't do and from what I can tell the OP does not plan to do either. Real time is an entirely different beast and something I haven't seen in these types of competitions yet. I'd love to see one that does do it though.

Another cool competition is MIT's Battlecode, which actually gives you a bytecode limit. If your code executes past the bytecode limit, your AI is paused and will actually resume on the next turn, without notification. Thus you'll be continuing with possibly old/dirty data. That pretty much prevents you from using any standard libraries and doing bytecode level optimizations, as well as manually yielding if you know it will take too long.

Your robots also can only talk to each other through a radio API that has limited bandwidth and possible corruption if I recall correctly. It's a complete opposite of what I worked on, where we focused more on strategy rather than code optimization.
Apple does have their own smart watch, though, and seems to be using their influence over the iPhone market to pressure the auxiliary device market.

Direct sales is hard and takes a lot longer than slapping some code on your site and waiting for the money to roll in. For instance, I just landed a sale the other day from a company that initially reached out over 6 months ago and I hadn't heard anything back since then.

One of my favorite things about selling ads myself is that I can ensure that advertisements are relevant to my readers. Relevant ads make readers happier. The results of relevant ads makes advertisers happier.

I get a good number of emails from ad networks boasting about their pool of advertisers and how I can make 1000% more money using their network. My first question is always, "What advertisers are relevant to my readers?" Crickets.

If I were making a service around direct selling ads, I would tackle a specific content vertical and play the middle man between relevant advertisers in that field and websites looking for advertisers.

I've moved away from Dropbox purely because the desktop (OS X) app has gotten so terrible. Besides the lack of responsiveness mentioned in the article, Dropbox routinely takes up > 90% of my CPU resources while running. If I'm working at a coffee shop without power, having Dropbox running literally halves my battery life. This is new as of the last six months, and happens consistently across multiple Macs. I've asked Dropbox employees about this, and they've just shrugged.

I don't care if they innovate or not. I care that the experience of using Dropbox is measurably worse than it was a year ago.
As someone recently observed, Amazon might have finally jumped the shark. It's great to try new ideas, continually test new methods, come up with alternatives, etc. But so far none of these recent things since airprime and firephone have worked out. It's been a case of one dud after the other. Is there any reason to believe these things ate anything more than publicity stunts on Amazon's part? These new ideas are not any more serious than any senior project in hs. These are things highschoolers can think up. I expect a little more from the people who brought us online retailing, next day delivery and aws.
I don't see the problem with your proposed scenarios. They're ultimately equivalent to ordering a package to your house, and "what if you're not home?" The answer is, you don't get your delivery that day.

Trunk fit can easily be checked in advance, too. They know the dimensions of your trunk and the dimensions of the package, and all they have to do is check the two and only allow this service if the one is smaller than the other.
I dunno, the comments on these 'data-wanking' articles make me a significantly more useful data consumer. Consider Minimaxir's comment on this thread. Where else could I get access to these kinds of brains????

> Info adds any information extra information to help to find which station it is [translations, disambiguation]

These are two separate use cases, which should have their own structured fields. The current uses of info:* seem to be very free-form at the moment.

If I want to travel to Cologne Trade Fair, I should be able to start typing "colo" and find it, without knowing that it's called "Köln Messe" in German. Whereas the info:* fields should separately have useful info, e.g. "Trains transfer from Cologne Main Station every few minutes."

Much like on OpenStreetMap, doing a name search should match against all name:* fields. Info fields should be for info.
Scala 2.10 compiles our ~150 file project (which has some seriously big files with lot of implicits in them) in about 15-20 seconds for me. Incremental compile times are typically 1-5 seconds. And this all on a laptop from early 2011. Indeed, this is slower than Java or C#, but nothing terrible. Running any test suite takes much longer.
Handling that the package couldn't be delivered is a well established technology. They would still leave a note on your door, just like now.

The point of this scheme is to make that happen less, and also that people don't have to stay home waiting for the truck to come by as much.

I wouldn't be surprised if the parole officer had made such a nonsensical rule.

We do, and many of our neighbors do. We are in a fairly quiet neighborhood of Washington, DC, but there are holdups now and then, auto thefts, and burglaries.
Plus you know they're going to deliver something, so you end up parking thinking "the DHL person is going to drop off a box in my trunk, let's make space in the trunk and park in an easily visible area."
It's interesting that you view things that way, because my opinion is basically flipped. Eclipse is an absolute displeasure to work with (the default IDE for most Java programmers), and don't even get me started on AbstractFactoryFactories and Beans, insane unreadable stack traces, the 1970s look of Swing GUI, JAR hell (classpath issues), Maven not working in offline mode, Applets and their manifest files and signing issues, etc.

Maybe I've just worked with too much enterprise-y Java code which always tends to be a cluster. Anytime the acronyms "SOA" or "ESB" enter the mix I start fearing for my sanity. But even Android programming seems to have more quirks than WinPhone development, although I'm comparing my experience w/ ICS 4.0 to WP 8.1 here.

What annoyed you about C#? I'm curious where you think the ecosystem or tooling is better than C#.
Actually something with strong copyleft semantics might actually be more appropriate than MIT in this case (if we're already willing to legitimize the copyright system by having a license, which is necessary).

If the argument is that everyone should be free to use whatever code however they want, then MIT lets delivers on the "however", but not the "whatever". GPL slightly limits the "however", but delivers on some of the "whatever" due to its viral nature.

The service won't be viable if the delivery company can't solve the problem of trusting the delivery people.

So I think people are responding to you in terms of a viable service, where there is not much reason to distrust the delivery person.

Fees only kick in if you cancel 100x the orders than you actually execute. And then you only pay half a cent per order over that limit.

I was suggesting something much more like a txn fee per order closed above a much tighter threshold (like 3x)

And none of those limits currently apply to registered market makers... And I agree with their exemption from the harsher rule too, but they should bear increased scrutiny and guaranteed liquidity rules for the privilege.
Look, Government is supposed to equal "We the People". If the government can now know just about everything about us, then they cannot keep secrets themselves. Period. Any retort of "security" is just code for "authoritarian abuse". If You can't figure out how to keep us safe without keeping a ton of secrets then You are doing it wrong!

So, government, you have two choices. Either you give the people their privacy back, or you give up your own. Your choice, but anything else is sedition and treason against the governed.
In my experience, Dropbox responds to all file system I/O, even those outside of the Dropbox folders, strangely.

If I'm running, say, npm install or bundle install or installing Xcode (or doing anything else I/O heavy), Dropbox starts using a bunch of CPU, proportional to the amount of I/O going on at the time. Note that none of these operations are inside my Dropbox folder.

I do believe the FSEvents infrastructure allows you to just watch an individual folder [1], so it shouldn't have to be this way...

Turtle's new to me, so I'm checking it out now, but it and camlistore look to be much larger projects, targeting much larger platforms than freehold, which I specifically built to run on low profile devices like the Raspberry Pi.

The demo video is actually running on a Raspberry Pi B.

Turtle looks to use Rethink as it's backend, which in itself is a significant hardware investment / requirement.

My target audience is more the guy wanting to sync his files back to his $35 Pi running in his basement, rather than the guy dropping $10 - $20 a month on a VPS, although it'll run on both.

I know camilstore is mainly focused on data, and my vision for freehold was to eventually replace things like Delicious, and Evernote, and other 3rd parties that have my data all over the place. Now those apps aren't written yet, but I plan to eventually, along with some other things like a WebRTC and XMPP backend so I can replace hangouts, etc.
