You don't need to be a _leader_ in an external community to have external context.

I'm really curious about this item >Community Good technical leaders are also leaders in the outside communities. Well, why would they be ? I mean, they can be, but I fail to see it as a requirement. I'm a bit concerned that no

How is saying "it's shit" is "constructive feedback" ? What is the constructive part ? I'm not offended when developers say that, I just observe that they are unable to build and express a reasoning, and that w

That's exactly my point : 30% for everything makes 0 sense ! 1. Distribution shouldn't be indexed on the price of what you're distributing. Distribution costs are mostly flat. They could be charging a per MB cost of download,

It's nice to see Apple admitting that they have for a long time, and for the detriment of everyone, fused two very distincts roles. The first is distributing software, and the second is processing payments. Incredibly, the first is fre

At work, too many websites for professional use are only working on Chrome, so I need to have it. Curiously enough, at home I have no problems with firefox, so I guess B2C devs are more conscious than B2B ones !

The cheer fact that people actually payed to use it is boggling my mind. I suppose the conclusion is that I need to work a lot more to even start understanding how people think !

Is that really an observation ? I personnally observe than Japan in fact practices fixed book prices.

But even with fixed prices, books _are_ cheap. Pocket editions here are the price of a cigarettes pack, something a lot of people even not rich afford once or more a week. I don't think affordability is a problem.

I travelled in the UK and in the US, and I felt that classic books were similarly priced there. In France, for books, there is quite often a cycle of "first edition with luxury components around the 20 bucks mark, followed by a pocket

During holidays, I typically read a book every 3/4 days, so a 2 week break means 4-5 books read, and having a kindle-like device is really helpful for me ^^

There's no denying that the "online" catalogue will always be larger than what a physical bookstore can have in stock. My point is rather than in France the advantages offered by the physical bookstores (namely, its friendly

I think you're right that the law preserved the original culture indeed, not that it created one. I must confess that even as a moderate hobbyist, I don't know more than a couple of german authors.

The book price is fixed by the editor/publisher (I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the correct english word for "éditeur" in french), and all resellers have to sell it at this price. To allow bookshops to do a margin, they

I understand that, but honestly, picking a comic among 10000 or 100000 titles isn't really a different experience for me, in both cases the number is "enough". Having a knowledgeable shopkeeper to talk with on the other hand

France regulates books prices very heavily (a.k.a it's a single price for every single distribution point), meaning there's little to no interest buying books online / at a mall (except convenience sometimes). In contrast, it

You can innovate on a known concept by using it in a novel way. I believe that's what's happening here, and I find the idea intruiging, smart and novel indeed. I think an added benefit is that it makes it trivial to see what are i

In France, for all banks I know, you can call, say "starting this date, all activity on my card is fraud", and you are refunded, no questions asked in the vast majority of cases. This seems quite enough for me.
