You put it better than the article, which was on the fluffy side.

IP is a catch-all term for a variety of legal situations (patents, copyright, trade secrets, even non-compete). Your comment is a very nice legal theory, but I don't know if the courts decide things this way in every case.

Interesting that Plaxo can be reinvented years later and get funded. And I don't mean that in a snarky way.

Recommended. Especially 5. Don’t you fucking dare ask me a riddle. An unbelievable time waster.

The spectators can root for whoever they like as long as the outcome is in doubt. Your scold only applies to the judge.

Instead of the "War Between the 'Verts", it would be useful to hear some comments about successfully interfacing with the other type. Seems to me the two types complement each other well in business as long as there is mutual respect.

The API for humans never changes but the spec is never complete. That's why this kind of item is helpful.

Did Time Machine kill SuperDuper? Not for me. I use Chrome, so no.

You touch on one of the important reasons why fiat money maintains its value. You can always use it to pay your taxes.

The idea that a human and a program would use the same interface is a good one if your goal is to allow the humans to focus on adding domain knowledge and the machines to focus on the boring repetitive tasks. Consider it a design pattern, n

In other places and times, with other counterparties, it would be called income tax, sharecropping, serfdom, or indentured servitude. Funny how labels work.

Yes the delta part is clever. Shazam is well described here: www.ee.columbia.edu/~dpwe/papers/Wang03-shazam.pdf

Agree. Also the other questions are reasonable, but not heat inducing.

I order my sandwich at Specialty's in Mountain View using an mobile web app they offer. Even if I eat it there, it saves the time spent in line. It's no different than just-in-time inventory management, which is an old idea now. Mobile just

It might be true that functional programming is difficult to learn for programmers not well versed in mathematics. My response to that is: Toughen up, princess. It's not that bad. To make an OO comparison: You didn't have to invent MVC (o

The handshake example was illuminating. Three "equivalent" theories: Theory A: Closed form formula function. Theory B: "Algorithm". Still a function. Theory C: Memoized function (constant time!) According to the article "nobody" likes C, es

Haskell is temporarily the extreme. There are other languages hovering around this same fringe such as Clean, and others which may well be beyond it like Cayenne. Instead of Cayenne I think the action in languages with dependent types is

It's more like this. You can prove more theorems by adding axioms, but if you add too many, then you might get an inconsistent proof system (containing undiscovered contradictions). Because of this, mathematicians are extreme conservatives

I've worked with lots of these over the years. The really successful young ones were called enfant terribles . Sounds much nicer, non ? My tolerance was in proportion to my paycheck, and I never saw management crack down unless they were

Sorry, I was just using it to mean the relentless, unenlightened people who just might pop the bubble of team spirit without caring about the consequences. Not an industry term in this context.

Thanks. I was going to tweet the link so I shortened it. Is shortening deprecated on HN?

You and I are a team. We charge $200 per hour with an equal split. The unbundler comes along and whispers in my ear. He says I'm better and he can pay me $105. Of course, being awesome (and human) I agree with his assessment. He says I must

Hey teams, charging a premium? Watch out for the zombie unbundlers. They are everywhere and they are relentless. Remember, your split is not a Nash equilibrium. Swear an oath of allegiance to each other once a week.
