I agree completely.
The entry level of PHP is so low it effectively encourages bad practice, allowing programmers to get away with things that no sane environment would allow. That said, in the hands of a professional, those same "shortcuts" can be immensely powerful and greatly increase productivity. PHP runs about 30% of the web because it has that power and is relatively simple to learn.
As irrational as this seems (to me, at least), it looks like more popular Apple mobile devices could lead to an even less accessible and standards-compliant web.
Indeed. Standards-compliance is critical in establishing developer confidence by ensuring availability of services across multiple disparate platforms. To avoid doing that, Apple and M$ resort to tactics such as vendor lock-in or other artificial platform boundaries. Removing choice(or even the awareness of choice) from the market indicates to me both companies lack of faith in their own ability to engineer good hardware/software, but hey, whowouldwantthatanyway?
Google Wave uses AJAX to show other users in your wave what you're typing as you type it. This does not mean "they want to know everything you type". It's a feature, and a tool. Like any tool it can be used for both benevolent and malevolent purposes, but itself is not inherently either.
Because information is an abundant resource and therefore doesn't fit nicely within any model of economic scarcity.
The problem is that we've developed information abundance in the context of enormous scarcity. Studio's are definitely screwed by piracy, but only because we have yet to develop a sufficient abundance of other necessities, namely food or housing. The perpetuation of scarcity is largely due to the establishments desire to maintain corporate relevance by suppressing societal and technological advancement. Suppressing innovation to reduce competition and maintain the status quo is generally speaking- fucking the masses out of their liberty. Not to mention the false "American Dream" ideology staving off automation in order to preserve service and labor jobs which upon elimination could pass savings to consumers.
Let me be clear because a lot of people might say that economic scarcity and the globalist agenda is a direct result of over-population. This is partially true, however dangerous this socialist collectivized thought may be, over-population is simply a symptom of a greater underlying problem. That problem may be a lot of things, but I tend to blame religion. Regardless, our establishment like Hitler & Stalin's regimes before use that aforementioned short-sighted reasoning to justify massive eugenics programs and commit genocide against whomever they determine "unworthy" which generally means social dissidents, the uneducated and the poor. Basically they perpetuate the belief that "undesirables" or people who do not contribute back to society atleast as much as they consume should be looted, raped, gassed, and forgotten.
Meanwhile, central banks and big industry loot and plunder our economic wealth by perpetuating scarcity where it's not even relevant, very much like copyright and IP law. It's simply a method to artificially inflate or misrepresent the value of a product or service in an already severely inflated economy which just lines the pockets of psychotic assholes with severely inflated egos.
Are these shady and sadistic autocrats really the people you want creating a single one-world government and presiding as rulers over you? I think not... or rather HELL NO! This is why OSS and the World Wild Web are so important as we are developing the tools to sustain truly transparent and accountable government. The net is the primary bastion of defense against the status quo and like a poster said before, pirates are simply perpetrating "civil disobedience", perhaps also ushering in a new age of unprecedented freedom for all mankind.
use an object relational mapper or something similar to generate interoperable database/xml schematics.. you should be able to write conversion scripts pretty easily that way. In so far as mirroring and xml and sql datastores, I'm not sure if such a solution exists.
Without getting philosophical on you, the fact is that resistance to this or any kind of research is usually perpetuated by the establishment because it's classified a conflict of interest and therefore becomes the subject of undue and debilitating scrutiny, lack of funding, FUD, etc.
Anti-abortion advocates are fanatic because factions of that same establishment enact genocide and eugenics programs against mothers and their spawn, even going so far as pushing potential mothers for late-term abortions(which is known to significantly damage the body).
The IMF and World Bank aim to reduce populations by infiltrating and bankrupting the world's economies with a draconian "free market" agenda. The other nations which the banks can't outright subjugate and enslave(those with a well-armed middle class) are also victim to an Orwellian gestapo-like police-state and institutionalized brainwashing by power-hungry psychopathic free market snake oil salesmen. Government and major political groups are almost entirely co-opted by international corporations; and by leading their own opposition to failure, the corporatocracy ensures the success its profiteering agenda.
These psychopaths are often members of the elite and let me tell you they are not interested in giving you better healthcare. This is not about anti-abortion fanatics or any other polarizing false dichotomy propagandized throughout media. The establishment wants to kill you and your family. If they can't kill you, they will directly and/or economically enslave you.
On another note.. we in the US need to get out from under this "healthcare reform" NOW giving the medical industry back to the doctors before the insurance companies co-opt it and further plunge our economy into deeper depression.
It's not even our definition of nice. Our government may as well be a wholly owned subsidiary of international banking corporations and our domestic/foreign policy dictated directly by profiteering corporate agendas completely irrespective of majority consensus.
This legislation is another example of an agenda using emerging technology to proliferate the already monstrous establishment. Nor are many countries able to make a choice about who they trade with; instead their leaders and people are assassinated, economically infiltrated, or militarily invaded.
the problem is that the supply and demand models that our businesses run on don't actually apply all that well to digital media.
Generally even minor threats to corporate relevancy are perceived as negative and consequently worthy of extinguishing. This is a problem of economy, as you allude. Publishers are responding in ways that are typically valid in older models to manufacture artificial scarcity, therein elevating price-points which line their pockets and bankrupt gamers(financially and intellectually). What publishers don't seem to realize is that this practice is very costly, only partially successful, and at direct odds with the abundant emergent nature of digital media. While continuing to neglect what potentially could be a significant competitive edge, they leave themselves open to others to invalidate their archaic thinking and either force them to adapt or destroy them entirely.
DRM, like any other effort to squash freedom, is a symptomatic response to a lack of technological sophistication in the society. This selfish thinking permeates almost every industry in the world today and creates gross misrepresentations of value that further debase the economy and plummet society into deeper depression. The internet has ushered in one of the few abundant resources we have, aside from water and air, information. Digital media abundant, does not adhere to any classic economic model of scarcity, and therefore any effort to circumvent that is costly, totally superfluous, and doomed to fail.
Oh, you mean like MMOs? Not much issue with piracy in MMOs. Ask Blizzard if anyone has ever pirated World of Warcraft.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic but this has in-fact occurred. A few loosely associated development groups have backwards engineered WoW's server software and run their own private servers. These servers are usually really private because Activision/Blizzard has effectively squelched their presence on the greater web with DMCA take-downs and other forms of legislative trolling.
At some point this occurs to some degree with all popular MMOG's, but unfortunately requires staggering amounts of effort updating emulators to work with new content and server protocols. At the same time the developers are being stifled and squelched by publishers, making it increasingly difficult for developers to remain interested as fighting publishers is directly contrary to an independent community's modus operandi. Such development effort is typically put forth by uber-fan geeks who are less interested in a destroying publishers profit margins and branding than they are about using the game as a canvas to express their own creativity. IMO this is a wholesomely legitimate and noble effort, and like BioWare including custom mod creation toolkits it adds considerable long-term value to a game service.
Usually the open nature of emulator development and the lack of overall direction initially leads to a lot of in-fighting among communities about implementing features that may or may not mimic exactly official servers. Therefore developers tend to release multiple implementations that match as closely as possible to a specific version of official server software to work with a range legacy game client versions, therein massively increasing the amount of effort required to maintain the emulator. People are usually willing invest the energy necessary so long as a sufficiently sized community is allowed to grow without publisher interference. Additionally, these indie development groups tend to solidify over time into pseudo-publishers, releasing their own flavors of the game and sometimes even rewriting the game client altogether(effectively creating a new product).
Aside from being a great source for publishers to scout and hire impassioned developers who are already trained, said communities are qualitatively what give games lasting value. IMO nothing is more paramount in developing a well-respected brand than enabling your players freedom in such a way.
In order to assuage publisher fears that emulators may impinge on their profit margins I think they legitimately have the right to keep emulators from charging subscription fees during(and even after) the lifespan of their official service. So long as indie services remain free the publisher is at no cost effectively creating an enormous avenue for genuinely wholesome or at least benign interest in their products. Unfortunately this is not in line with managements typical knee-jerk reaction to what they perceive as competition. I can only assume said reaction is the result of an overall lack of confidence in their own developers to continually create compelling and worthwhile content.
After Hitler got elected, he killed his political opponents. No trial or anything, just assassinations. This isn't an exception with dictatorships, it's standard procedure.
You have a good point.
To be fair, we are dealing with unprecedented technological advances now that may enable us to make great leaps in liberty or enable the systematic enslavement and subjugation of mankind.
Why even have a trial (or bother with assassination) when turning off the chip of a dissident renders them effectively unable to do anything, ever. Plus non-complying chips would be a beacon to law enforcement, allowing them to pinpoint your location and cart you off to jail. Enslavement is more profitable than killing off your potential workforce. This is Dictatorship 2.0 and the elite are all about profit.
I guess my question is, in that scenario, what happens to the humans when the singularity hits and robot labor is cheaper than human labor?
As for the benefit, it may make identifying your burned and mutilated corpse easier after you are killed in a terrorist attack
(fixed that for you)
A false-flag terrorist attack perpetrated by the same government that implanted your chip. In-fact after analyzing your movements they found a high probability that your position would be at the aforemention attack and concluded you are expendable and your death is acceptable collateral damage.
Meanwhile, the other cattle like yourself believe this an authentic terrorist attack and therefore call for the government to enact more degrading laws in the name of "security". Furthering their agenda to subjugate and enslave the masses.
It's all very promising, let me tell you. Never worry about your children again, get them implants. Never pay for anything again, just walk out of the store and it's automatically deducted from your chip's credits. Your car, now tied to your chip, so you never worry about it being stolen. Life will be so much easier...
Except when you break the law (everyone invariably does because there are so damn many). Officials turn off your chip and that store's doors no longer open for you. Your car won't turn on. You can't spend your money. Your children are located via GPS and taken. You're trapped in a system in which you don't exist.
Getting chipped make us safer and our lives more convenient
If we are to have telemedicine, displacement of copper telephone infrastructure, etc., then we do need guaranteed levels of service for some things.
Traffic shaping is not necessarily opposed to net neutrality. I see nothing wrong with prioritizing traffic based on how much a customer paid, or how much bandwidth they've used recently, for instance. An ISP account should come with X gigabytes/month of "first class" service, where you get to decide what to send/receive first class, and the rest is bulk. I have wasted too much time kluging with LARTC. Traffic prioritization needs to be end-to-end, not just at the network layer of one end.
You're right. This is just another example of how the technology itself is not malevolent but rather how its employed.
That being said, I can assure you that simply by reviewing the level of divisive manipulation of traditional corporate media, while technological advancement have historically entailed a net benefit for purveyors of truth(thinking here, printing press, telephones, etc), it also has enabled morally bereft institutions to expand and refine their influence on the hearts and minds of the masses. Now we're talking about a fundamental change in the infrastructure of the internet which could easily force social dissonance or protesting underground by simply making it inaccessible, thus negating all of the great advancements in information transparency we've achieved on an *almost* fully open internet. An open internet is exceedingly difficult to control, and malevolent corporations have made little headway here like that seen in print, television, radio, etc.
On another note, the suppression of thought and technology permeates every facet of our modern lives, and now with the explosion of the internet we not only have an abundance of air and water but also information, which quite certainly is the most important tool in mitigating and extinguishing the suppressive and unaccountable corporate influence over our lives. This to me is indicative of a greater economic and social transition resulting in the replacement of antiquated short-term socially detrimental corporate group-think with something so open and free that none of us can possibly fathom its colossal magnitude.
IMO, defeating net neutrality, or enabling corporations to do so(even with the best of intentions), will result in humanities failure once again to recognize and respond adequately to threats to the our overall social and economic cohesion. Quite simply, in order for humanity to succeed as Bill Hicks said "..as one race explor[ing] outer space together in peace, forever." we must educate and enlighten people in order to encourage reform and the discontinuation of the broken components of our establishment.
The corporate think-tanks that envisioned the internet have known for a long time they had unwittingly created a network without strong authentication. This means anyone can jack-in anonymously and spread whatever socially dissident or commie/terrorist agenda they want. So in the interest of controlling our minds and the accessibility of information they are now attempting to re-implement the internet and in doing so shape traffic along arbitrary guidelines which of course will be entirely influenced by corporate profiteering.
I know that this project is only for military use, but it is only a matter of time before corporations are lured in by the promise of an unprecedented amount of power/control/oversight on their networks.
No but seriously, considering the amount of money and effort being shelled out to patch software this really doesn't seem plausible. So long as development is beholden to short-term corporate profits, bugs will never go away.
