I personally think that if you have the leverage you say you do in this situation, is to do what you say (develop the service) using different code of course, and then sell yourself to them as a consultant for at least triple the amount they had you on for beforehand.

Works Perfectly in 19.0

I also looked for any import css code in their source, and it looks like they don't use import, which is sometimes has issues with rendering the css.

I would check the console in your browser and try to investigate this further. I didn't get any errors in my console.

So how would you recommend fixing this? You mentioned hiring excellent workers and getting out of their way, but I'm hoping you could elaborate.

That changes everything!

Soooo no new tools released. Just a marketing Web Site for IE10. I was so excited for a great application to test with.

If for anything, I hope he wins so he can go back outside, and live a decent life.

If she keeps it up, she'll definitely lose any political future, as we usually don't forget things here on the web.

Function and Form. You need to be able to design a system to be an engineer, and the same goes for designers. I would go even further and say that both disciplines are essentially the same with each emphasizing function (engineer), and form (designer) respectively.

In this case, don't hate the game, hate the player.

Any and every single open forum is susceptible to this, and while I think these posts could or should be taken down given context, it doesn't mean Twitter should be responsible.

Thanks. I like the idea of a 14 + 14 copyright term. Hopefully disney cartoons from the 1950's will be in the public domain by 2050...

Interesting. I've heard of the Icesave lawsuits, but this paints a much more interesting picture. Thanks.

So you'e saying this approach wouldn't have worked? Too bad a larger country didn't try. You're also neglecting the fact that, while Iceland is unique, they had unique challenges that other nations wouldn't, like importing a lot of stuff.

I'd like to see some explanation as to why this wouldn't work with a larger nation and not simply, because.

I think one good thing to come out of this is that the public worldview of banking and finance, at least from the perspective of young adults, is that bankers are greedy, lying, POS.

I mean, I can't imagine being in finance and bragging about it to other types of people. Every article related to this stuff always has one line, and I quote:

"Should more bankers be in prison?"

Hopefully this will sort itself out in 20 years, but I'm curious if any of you think bankers SHOULDN'T have more liability when it comes to unlawful, or even legally gray practices. I mean, as tech people, don't we all mostly adhere to a code of ethics?

Thank you for the insightful elaborations and clarifications.

Regarding the expansion of copyright in the near future, do you think that the general public of the US will simply allow things to get out of hand before making concessions like you suggested (GFDL/GPL), or will the internet (software?) as we know it simply be overtaken, with the only recourse to simply use another paradigm for open communication and sharing.

My opinion is that, with more and more older people adopting technology, and younger people being born (obviously, right?), we'll in a general public sense, shift our priorities to a more logical and open copyright system. I would give it 20-30 years though...

Why can't all of these countries take a page from Iceland? I mean, in 2008 it defaulted on the ridiculous amount of debt they had, and now, 4+ years later, are improving their international credit rating, and building their economy. I would speculate from articles that I've read that they're at least back to where they were prior to the collapse.

My guess is that it's programmed that way.

But seriously, I think HN must have a keyword bump, namely for U.S./Copyright/Show HN. It also probably has a few elite sites that rank high, like the Atlantic, and Tech Crunch. That or because it was voted up twice in new within it's first minute of being posted, which resulted in the front page, which only exacerbates the process.

Well, considering that White House Petitions don't work. I wouldn't worry about this one...

To simplify the arguments:

Pro (Current) Copyright: We need to protect artists. We need to protect the invested parties interests.

Against (Current) Copyright: Internet. It's companies who Copyright protects not Artists. Copyright actually stifles creativity and application of invention.

That's my take of this whole thing anyway. I don't care either way to be honest. It's all high level creation issues, and I've never had a personal run in to warrant an extreme positioning either way. I'd like is someone could give a more detailed explanation or correct any of my takeaways.

But you're missing the point. The TSA does literally nothing. It adds 'no' value. It's only an expense. To who? Everyone. For who? No one...

I agree with the libertarian ideals, and the educational ideals popularized by Montessori, but the lack of ethical consideration of others is disheartening, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_(Ayn_Rand)#Criticis....

Agreed. An interesting article on the subject that was posted a few months ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4495914

Well, everyone knows Marc Andreessen has extreme Randist views. I'd say it borders on a Machiavellian worldview, especially considering he's apart of the class which has the most influence, so it's not an evil view, but rather a pragmatic view that would benefit him.

Unfortunately for him, the idea that the middle class doesn't exist is incorrect. I know because according to some sources, almost half of the world now fits in this class. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_class#Recent_growth_of_t...

When you also factor in that more and more young people are viewing excess spending and wealth after meeting ones needs as excessive and look down upon it, then you could also point to a future where we actually shift from this purely capitalist view to a more social capital view point.

Regardless of what you think, it's all speculation.

He must have meant MMS, where you can send photos, which functions almost exactly like SMS.

Agreed on this being a terrible article, but it does highlight one thing; punishing teens for this is not the way to go. I think diluting the sex criminal database with a quarter of the upcoming generation is a little counter productive.

So what can we do about this?

It shouldn't. But this isn't a moral issue. Both flora and fauna are living organisms. You must eat one or both of them to survive. Deciding which one's inherent value precedes the other is offensive, and illogical. Both are edible, ergo, everybody will eat a combination of the two. Are you saying my combo (both), is less moral than yours perhaps (flora only)? If so, I simply disagree. That's all.

We're just animals trying to survive when you ignore the fact that we have advanced brains. Us as animals require an omnivorous diet (please link to these vegetarian cultures please), or we would die of heart failure due to B12 deficiency.

And while I understand that this is an appeal to nature. It doesn't matter whether this is good or bad; it's necessary. Anybody making the claim that it isn't is ignoring collateral mentioned in the article, and is really just leaning on one side of two different, but albeit very important classes of organisms. I'd prefer to treat them fairly. Eat them both!

But we're also not herbivorous. And like the web page illustrates, our understanding of flora is lacking.

I personally think sustenance is a health not a moral issue. I believe certain organisms must die in order for us to thrive. This means eliminating certain germs, certain bacteria, certain dangerous plants, and certain delicious animals/plants.

And while we can eliminate eating meat directly, I think the article makes a good point about collateral damage.

>We lack information to asses the full consequences of our actions and so any morality based on the ultimate results will be unworkable.

So then what should we do? If any morality based on our small understanding of suffering is largely unknowable, then why should it be immoral to eat animals? Furthermore, is this a question of knowing, or is it universal? Is it alright for tribesmen to kill animals if they haven't even considered the animal's suffering?

Yes. It's also okay to kill animals. Why? Because it's natural. Why is it natural? Because every single animal kills either plants or animals.

And while we as a species can use our brains to resist eating animals, we can't resist eating both fauna and flora.

I've been hearing about qubits for awhile now and don't really understand the significance of having quantum entanglement in a network. Can you entangle multiple clients in a mesh, and add or remove entanglements? Is that even possible in the future with this?

Or can you manufacture entanglement with each connection, where you initiate the entanglement with a client, and maintain that connection during transport? I'm really just curious if you can use this technology, and literally replace the methods of connections and transport as we use them now, or if this is simply a single function method.
