“But that means, if you’ll just follow my reasoning for a bit, that when I have a programmer working under me who is working with that information, he is wielding enormous power. Information is going into his brain. And it’s staying there. It travels with him when he goes home at night. It gets all tangled up into his dreams, for Christ’s sake. He talks to his wife about it. And, goddamn it, he doesn’t have any right to that information. If I was running a car factory, I wouldn’t let workers drive the cars home or borrow tools. But that’s what I do at five o’clock each day, all over the world, when my hackers go home from work.

“When they used to hang rustlers in the old days, the last thing they would do is piss their pants. That was the ultimate sign, you see, that they had lost control over their own bodies, that they were about to die. See, it’s the first function of any organization to control its own sphincters. We’re not even doing that. So we’re working on refining our management techniques so that we can control that information no matter where it is—on our hard disks or even inside the programmers’ heads. Now, I can’t say more because I got competition to worry about. But it is my fervent hope that in five or ten years, this kind of thing won’t even be an issue.”

Edit: Even allowing jquery, it still shows blank complaining about stripe. Your page should not be so completely reliant on stripe.

I think as technology improves, the advantages of modularity with trump any loss of performance.

   ... I'll argue that Accessibility is actually more 
   important than Security because dialing Accessibility 
   to zero means you have no product at all, whereas dialing
   Security to zero can still get you a reasonably 
   successful product such as the Playstation Network.

It works well enough, and I have to set it up once.

That graph shows that ie6 usage dips on weekends (while firefox usage peaks). This seems to suggest that most of the people using ie6 are using it at their workplace and many of them tend to use firefox at home.

That paper has a (simplified) model for the economics of free and proprietary software in the same marketplace. It basically shows that the best programmers have incentives to work on free software. It also shows that the price that the proprietary software maker places on the product directly affects the number of programmers working on the free alternative. Very cool paper that I reviewed for an economics course.
