I cant believe that the management couldnt anticipate that their product was like a movie, initial sales peaked, followed by a sharp decline. Now just like movie productions they should be satisfied with royalties and the prestige that comes with it.
Nice PR stunt by Bill Gates to divert our attention while Microsoft works hard in the rear to make Windows 10 as a service making the traditional view about intellectual property less relevant. The traditional view started to develop 300 years ago (Statute of Anne 1710) during advent of printing industry that made copying easier and cheaper, and revised in 1980's for the software. Why rent about that now when (thanks to recent advances in network speed which made it possible) Microsoft is strongly pushing for its products like office application and OS as an online service?
There should be some reasonable limit to the admissible frequency of safety recalls or software patches and the article barely touches that making the article incomplete. The article doesn't change these two truths:
1. Oil change is a natural requirement. Safety recall is 'man made' due to somebody's shortsightedness.
2. Harassment is harassment.
My intention is not to be stringent, but to be open to negotiation. I believe more than an average of one software patch every 2 months (your tolerance may vary) is reasonably a harassment and a symptom of lousy testing.
Prediction of the appearance of things of future has always failed miserably when the future actually becomes present. Philosophical themes provoke the viewer to run a mind experiment which need to be physically possible or an accurate depiction of reality or future but a though provoking piece of entertainment that at the same time challenges our cognitive faculties to the greatest extent.
I relish such movies and this is the greatest among them.
The content belongs to the artists and the publishers. Let them decide whom to deal with and on what terms. If they don't like startups, probably they are not okay with smaller cuts. They have full freedom to decide who to deal with and who to avoid.
Typical case of bandwagon effect. When men dominate an area, it is more likely for women to quit early assuming that the area is not meant for them. And when men fail, they are less likely to quit early looking at the success of other men.
Why don't they use the fundamentals used in developing the algorithm to identify and eliminate the root causes of crime (through rehabilitation/counseling) and thus reduce crime in highly prone areas? If using the software they show that they can reduce crime in, say Chicago, to 50% in 5 years, the researchers would have accomplished the 'real' thing.
The courts and police are moving in a heavily wrong direction with the software.
Schmidt wants to say, "leave the politics in the hands of the influential ones." and promises the possibility of a cure to cancer. Welcome to the United States of Alphabet.
Only proper politics can facilitate technology reach lowest strata of society, not a seemingly philanthropic board decision. Technology has been shaping politics over last few centuries and more of that in the last two decades. Both are equally important because sooner than we expect, both will be indistinguishable.
Repeat until you get it, "Closed source is shy sister of spyware."
There is every incentive possible in the universe to collect all useful and not so useful information about the user, remember the trade and commerce just before the colonial era?
Oh, I forgot to mention my experience. I've moved to JavaScript after working on C++ for over 10 years. My experience has been better than C++. While JavaScript is gaining more features from C++ in each release and Boost is moving C++ in the direction of JavaScript, I find JavaScript neat, cleaner and handy than C++.
I do not know why people discourage people from experimenting change! I won't recommend changing a good, existing working base from PHP to JavaScript but I'd strongly recommend using Node.js for all future deployments. While everyone is seeing callback-hell as a limitation of JavaScript, I see it an important property of JavaScript which is a kind of early warning to you if you do not modularize your code.
Dear French Content Creators, maintain calm for now and ask for reserved quota when the status of your work changes from 'moderately endangered' to 'critically endangered'.
No penalty against erroneous and false DMA takedown and copyright infringement notices to websites and individuals makes me feel as if I am an accomplice in crime by avoiding consumption of pirated services and betting my money in the hand of companies that serve erroneous and false DMA takedown and copyright infringement notices.
Killing net neutrality will give well established businesses an edge over the new entrants thus leading to anti-competitive practices. An obnoxious form of monopoly is sure to follow the death of neutrality. Does it require a PhD to understand that?
Yes, there are fewer customization options for Gnome 3. The area less explored and talked about is the availability of extensions. You can tweak almost any aspect of Gnome 3 through an extension. The extensions get easily broken with newer versions and since the ecosystem is nascent, it will take few more years to get a mature API. Little customization, like removing the top panel completely can be done with an extension script containing only a couple of lines of code.
Removing speedometers will make drivers even more cautious. Let's remove some instruments from airplanes so that pilots are always alert. Blindfold all of them for the best results.

Can you switch to Linux?
For last 12 years I have been living in a parallel universe where Microsoft exists but not as a developer of an operating system.

You can embed images and videos. And if you don't have enough time to prepare a presentation, just use the notes. Who will figure out the difference?

How about DC++, for rare and less known music?

I mean to say, interface is not implementation. Implementation is protected, not the interface (like function names).
The author seems to be confused between software and API. Google copied API, not the software. GPL is applicable to software, not the API.
