I have no interest in the issue and have barely skimmed some comments on it, but from what I understand a lot of the problem is the high chance mods will conflict or just not work at all - a game can update at any time and break mods. Paying for something that has no real support is hard to swallow for some people.

In some ways it seems similar to the jailbreak community, and there are paid apps and tweaks there - but it does come at the cost of greatly reduced performance, stability, and security.
It's an essay. An essay is whatever you want it to be.

Floor mats was a sort of strawman erected ( by someone other than Gladwell ) in the history of the subject.

He's illuminating the schism between how engineers think and how ... people ... who are not engineers .... think. Always a fun topic, IMO.
You are wrong.

He's talking science, measured outcomes, greatly increased risk of suicide with reassignment surgery, and evidence.

So this [0] article is where I got the numbers that have caused a fair amount of the outrage that led to this announcement from Valve.

The modders were getting 25% of the mod sales, Valve was getting 30% (a standard for digital distribution channels), and 45% going to Bethesda. The outrage being how much Bethesda got. Bethesda responded to this in the linked article [0]:

> Many have questioned the split of the revenue, and we agree this is where it gets debatable. We’re not suggesting it’s perfect, but we can tell you how it was arrived at.

> First Valve gets 30%. This is standard across all digital distributions services and we think Valve deserves this. No debate for us there.

> The remaining is split 25% to the modder and 45% to us. We ultimately decide this percentage, not Valve.

> Is this the right split? There are valid arguments for it being more, less, or the same. It is the current industry standard, having been successful in both paid and free games. After much consultation and research with Valve, we decided it’s the best place to start.

> This is not some money grabbing scheme by us. Even this weekend, when Skyrim was free for all, mod sales represented less than 1% of our Steam revenue.

> The percentage conversation is about assigning value in a business relationship. How do we value an open IP license? The active player base and built in audience? The extra years making the game open and developing tools? The original game that gets modded? Even now, at 25% and early sales data, we’re looking at some modders making more money than the studio members whose content is being edited.

> We also look outside at how open IP licenses work, with things like Amazon’s Kindle Worlds, where you can publish fan fiction and get about 15-25%, but that’s only an IP license, no content or tools.

> The 25% cut has been operating on Steam successfully for years, and it’s currently our best data point. More games are coming to Paid Mods on Steam soon, and many will be at 25%, and many won’t. We’ll figure out over time what feels right for us and our community. If it needs to change, we’ll change it.

If you ask me 45% is too high, I don't think it should be exactly 0% but to give the developers so little seems criminal...

Another source for this was fact that there is no real support for mods especially with mods interacting with other mods. While there was a return period (24hrs IIRC) a number of gamers were arguing that you don't always find out within 24hrs if a mod will conflict with another mod. Maybe a long trial period would have helped to alleviate some of this.

Interesting, I had thought that the Bounty mutineers had died out because of lack of genetic diversity/lack of resources already.

Not quite the same, but there are islands in the St. Lawrence in Quebec that are similar backwaters. My father has been hunting snow geese on Ile-aux-Grues, just across from Montmane, Quebec. At this point, there are only about a dozen families on the island that stay there and continue doing the guiding/dairying lifestyle that is traditional year-round.
> As such it cannot be broken down into its constituent parts and analyzed for meaning, it has to be understood as an atomic utterance.

I understand the implicit preface that is something like "If you want to communicate frictionlessly …", but I think that one actually doesn't have to do this. The arguments for accepting variants of spelling do not, I think, automatically apply to accepting (illogical) variants of phrases; while there is no intrinsically 'right' spelling of a word, there is a sense (given what the constituent words mean) in which "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" are objectively different, and the latter captures what is probably meant.

I mean to say that it is perfectly possible to insist on, and to try to enforce, a logical approach to the use of language. (Without this impulse, for example, we wouldn't have Lojban (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban)—which, OK, may not be a very practical loss, but I think we can agree would be an intellectual loss.) Granted this will not optimise for communication, or pleasant social interaction, but we all have the right to choose the fitness metric that we want to use!

Agreed, but with engineering though it's never that binary.

Each dimension is a continuum. You have to end up picking some point on each dimension that is either good enough or the best you can do with your budget also considering that you have to balance this across many many individual decisions. Prioritising these decisions against each other is also done with incomplete information.

As mentioned in the article engineered items are not in a binary state of faulty or not faulty - it's more 'analog' with physical engineering. Rather they have varying degrees of resilience to different often competing failure modes.

And changing requirements can also alter whether something is regarded as adequate or inadequate - eg earthquake strengthening standards for older buildings are a good example.

Engineering isn't about perfection (it can't be), it's about designing solutions that satisfy requirements and specifications as best as possible within constraints while juggling inevitable tradeoffs.

It's true that the SEC makes this data available free of charge, but it's typically not useful without a lot of extra processing. XBRL(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL) is a standard of sorts, but there seems to be no enforcement of how it's used across different companies' filings (or even across multiple filings from the same company), and many critical pieces of information are filed under e.g. company-specific extensions. It's definitely a pain working with the data in any meaningful way.

FWIW, www.downside.com had a hard time reading the latest filings for AAPL, the only one I tried. Visiting http://www.downside.com/cgi/testfinancialsextract.cgi?url=ht... threw an error "ERROR: SGML Parse error: EXCEPTION reading from net: The filing is bigger than the maximum allowed size of 5000000 bytes. at EDGAR/netutil.pm line 75."

As I understand it, the bolts were pointing forward towards the fuel tank which caused the puncture and (the threads caused) the spark, but this was only in the Pinto wagon, a far less popular variant of the car. The hatchback most people think of as the Pinto did not have this design flaw (the bolts were perpendicular to the car instead of aiming forwards).

So, you had to rear-end a Pinto wagon (not hatchback) with a nearly empty tank so the bolts entered at the fume level for any chance of fire or explosion.

I've been watching a show recently on UK terrestrial TV (via a watch again, don't have live TV). The adverts are mind-numbing. Seriously, I have to leave the room now. Every damn one has animated/puppet talking animals in, none of them sell the benefits of any sort of product they're just attempts to manipulate. Dammit, if the point of those adverts is to make people willing to pay for media without any ads they're sure doing it right ... thing is when are they going to start making that media. Even films that you pay £10+ to see are laden with adverts. It seems impossible to buy audio-visual media with a good UX: which company is advertising a pay service on the basis of "no additional adverts, just the content you paid for"??
In some circumstances that attitude is valuable. When it comes to oversubscribed workers noticing something that doesn't seem right, it could save the company a lot in long run.

Sometimes you don't have the time to find solutions, because you're working on your own stuff.

When I was 8 or so, I saw a homeless guy lying on a bench in New Orleans, and I had a five dollar bill in my pocket, and even though five dollars was very hard for me to come by, I gave it to him. I felt very good about myself, at the time.

In retrospect, I probably would have put that five dollars to better use.

People live like that because they can live like that. If you give them cash, you're enabling their lifestyle.

I fed homeless people from a portable soup kitchen a couple of weeks ago. If you want to genuinely help people who genuinely need it, give them directions to a soup kitchen and social workers who know how to deal with them.

But the chances are that they already know where they can get real help, and they'd rather stand around earning $20 or more an hour asking people for cash. http://www.quora.com/Homelessness/How-much-money-do-beggars-...

You have it backwards. Even though they are similar on a conceptual level to what you do everyday, doing it in Powershell requires buying development tools. And there hasn't been a need to support that monetarily for a while.
Maintaining those missions from so far away, with tools that are many years old by the time they are re-configured, is an engineering feat that always amazes me when I read about it.
The hotels are losing money, because people aren't willing to pay 200% markup on snacks. I wonder if people would actually use it if the markup wasn't such a slap in the face? They might not lose as much money on it if they didn't need to throw so much unpurchased merchandise out.
The problem is having to be paid at all. There ought to be a system whereby people can exist at a reasonable standard of living and still do the work they want to do, i.e. Basic Income. There's enough food, shelter and medicine to accommodate everyone on the planet right now, but the top 10% hoard way more than their share. Do they deserve it because they work harder? No, they're just born into luxury, and there's nothing capitalistic or meritocratic about it.

You ought to be able to make a show or a film without having to leverage everything you own. You ought to be able to work on making cameras and stages if you like to do that stuff. You ought to be able to watch one of these shows/films made using those cameras/stages for free, and then go to your house and work on a project of your own, and not worry about whether that project will be profitable enough to allow you to eat or be housed. The key point is we have the resources.

Eventually we'll get there, but it's gonna take a long, long time.
>Because in many cases they have only purchased US rights.

That's not my problem, its their problem. My problem is access to content, and I have many solutions available, some of which are not legal.

If they want me to choose their solution, it has to be lower friction than the alternatives, and they have consistently failed at achieving that.

Edit: and be careful not to fall into the trap of counting everyone who downloaded X as a lost sale. Just cause someone downloaded X does not mean they have the funds available to have purchased it if it wasn't freely available.

I used to be a digital artist, and I loved it, but I've decided to switch to computer science and startups. This was an extremely difficult decision, because it is very hard to quit something you are very good at after ~8 years and start from scratch in a completely new field.

It vas very tough for me, and still is. But it was also the best decision I've ever made. The amount of things I've learned and understood about myself and the world in the process is incredible, there's nothing I would trade that for.

Change is hard but is definitely worth it. Also don't forget that as you get older you lose your ability to change your mind and learn new things. If you think about trying something new - don't waste time hesitating, the sooner you do that the better.
This isn't quite true. The current market bonus scale is 15k - 25k - 50k - 65k - 80k - 90k - 100k for years 1-7 (http://abovethelaw.com/2014/11/associate-bonus-watch-davis-p...). Market salary scale is 160k - 170k - 185k - 210k - 230k - 250k - 265k (http://abovethelaw.com/2007/01/breaking-simpson-thacher-rais..., market hasn't changed since 2007). So total compensation looks like 175k - 195k - 235k - 275k - 310k - 340k - 365k for years 1-7. (Most biglaw firms don't offer any 401k matching.)

There are a handful of firms that beat the market scale, but even more firms that pay less than market (mostly through below-market bonuses, rather than through below-market salaries).

First-year partners aren't likely to make 1MM+, but rather something in the range of 300k-700k (http://www.quora.com/What-does-the-average-junior-partner-at...). Average compensation of all partners in 2012 was 681k (http://abovethelaw.com/2012/09/new-data-on-law-firm-partner-...).

It's not about technology fitting the business model. People who complain about availability don't seem to realize that a lot of existing film properties are subject to long-term contracts that can't simply be torn up. I don't see anyone organizing film and TV lovers together to buy out the contract rights and make the film they want to watch available worldwide, do you? Nor do I see people putting their own money at risk for extended periods to provide financing to get the film made in the first place provided it's released globally, simultaneously, without DRM but with a cherry on top and so on.

The reality is that people really really want to consume the product, and then invent all sorts of reasons about why they shouldn't have to pay or wait for it. Copying doesn't deprive the owner of a film or other media property of the original, but it does deprive them of the right to sell the product they own at the time and place of their choosing, which is a basic economic right of producers, and by producers I mean anyone who makes something as opposed to the people who simply consume it.

You don't need to explain to me how the internet works, I was discussing the changing face of IP on people back on Usenet before there was such a thing as the WWW. You know why distributors are still around? Because they put capital at risk in return for licensing rights. It takes a lot of capital to make the original owrk, even if the marginal cost of distribution is zero or near zero. Internet solves the distribution side but does little or nothing to help the actual production process.

I'm very tired of this attitude of technological entitlement. every proposal I see for from film producers about how to monetize their product is deemed unacceptable in some way or other. I can't help drawing hte asme conclusion as the other poster who says that a large number of people are simply selfish and want something for nothing.
I always suspected that if minibars had employed a universal markup of just 15-20% of the bulk price the hotel payed for the goods they would have been run-away successes and the kind of cash cows the hotels hoped they would be.

Better still, any hotel that got over the fear and greed to emerge as "the hotel with the awesome, cheap minibars" would have cleaned up with extra stays as well.

They are working very hard to rectify that. Admittedly, the most efficient means they see of doing that while preserving the ability to make their alternative profitable is to raise the friction of other (particularly illegal) alternatives, but just as you are seeking to maximize the value you get out of it, so are they.

Right. I haven't updated that in years, and HTML is more bloated than it used to be. The Downside financial extractor, written around 2000, is totally obsolete - it reads the human-readable tables and tries to make sense of them. That hasn't worked well since HTML stopped using <table> for tables. It doesn't understand XBRL; it reads the human-readable tables and attempts to create an early version of XBRL from them. I'd looked into building a better system years ago, but there's a patent problem with a patent on extracting data from financial tables where the sign of items is ambiguous and it's not obvious which lines add up to which totals. ("Net loss" in a human readable table may be expressed either as a positive or negative number.)
