   I dunno about the statute - you're the one who claimed there was a law requiring Twitter's behavior. You now seem to acknowledge that they DO NOT have to surrender account names merely because someone asserts a trademark claim. I was point

   Yes, but the domain registration process is just another "registration process". The domain one is "modern" (inexpensive, online, self-service), the trademark one (USPTO) is "old" ("manual", "offline", "cumbersome", "expensive"). Why shoul

   One second is up. I stil don't understand your reasoning. Care to explain?

   I don't think so. You want to reference the statute? Domain name conflicts, have to go through a more proper administrative and legal process, for example. Twitter could chose to handle it like a domain name challenge, I believe.

   I prefer a programming model that is not so complicated that you need an IDE to generate the code for you. Even watching the Apple tutorials on using XCode I was struck by how many magic incantations you have to kearn that seem totally opa

   Wow. That's a lot of jargon for someone who's not seen iOS programming before.

    I'm confused. PayPal offers a 3-party payment product, where you can accept a payment and split the proceeds between yourself and another seller. They call it "chained" payments. https://www.x.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1044-1-1033

    I don't give a shit anymore about this stupid piece of crap that Microsoft calls a Browser and throws out a release for every 3 years, just in time to not let it fade out completely but annoy web developers for more years to come. I can r

    Be careful. Disconnect also ends up blocking core services, like Google Channel API, used by some App Engine apps (this took me hours to figure out why my site was broken in Chrome).

    I think the two methods result in the exact same thing. Especially since the crawler won't see any raw HTML pages anyway - all links are hashbanged, and have to be crawled via the Google parameter rewriting scheme.

    Isn't that what they are doing?

    by mckoss 16y ago

    That may be. But it's pretty hard to ascribe intention simply by looking at their site. While what they are achieving could be implemented w/o the use of hash-bang URIs, it may be that they have reasons that are not readily apparent.

    I am hearing a lot of vitriol against the use of the hash uri (or hash-bang uri) pattern. While I agree that it does make a slightly different set of assumptions about the browser model, I don't think that application developers are employ

    The author uses the terms API and "indexing technology" imprecisely here. I think what he really means is that they are getting data from Twitter via a push protocol rather than a polling protocol. Note that while Twitter has a site-sp

    I have seen the TC authors and the subjects they are writing about directly interacting with readers in the comments. I haven't seen as much of the engaged community conversations that I see on HN, I think TC readers would miss out on a l

    Interesting point. But WiFi networks are available in coffee shops, etc. And I think the main point of simplification I would be looking for is not that I won't have a computer as well, but I don't want my devices to be dependent on tha

    I'm an over-50 developer. Most of my friends don't write software anymore (some burned out, others got bored with it). I've always loved creating software, so I try to spend as much of my day writing code as I can. I left <big company

    The last time I looked, Git on Windows required you use a different shell than the native Windows command shell (not that I'm a fan of the crappy Windows shell, but it does make it more awkward and feels less "native").

    I use both git and hg - and like both of them (though I have more experience with hg). Github is far and away the best hosted distributed version control service, with a constant stream of innovative features for open-source developers ove

    I'll have to disagree with most of what you say here. I would attribute Apple's decision not to divorce the iPad from a PC to their desire to assert some presence onto the PC ecosystem. They don't want to be be JUST your tablet OS, they wa

    Why implement something complex, when something simple will do? This cache should be (in my mind), DRM-agnostic. Just put your DRM around your hash lists, just as you would around your original content. DRM can be a layer above the cachi

    by mckoss 16y ago

    If you recognize that a hash is equivalent to the content, you realize you have to wrap DRM around the hash lists, just as you would the original content. Perhaps limiting the cache lifetimes would give some legal protection to network op

    Not really. Similar purpose, but it is not embedded in the network (every intermediate hop could support a layer of cache, from backbone providers down to consumer routers). Note that Bittorrent is at least twice as inefficient as this sch

    The point of what I'm trying to describe is an adaptive edge-caching service for the Internet. Support your ISP has cache a 100GB cache in your data center (probably RAM-based - think memcache). They could just leave in the cache those ch

    The content producers could encrypt their data so the hashes would only give access to encrypted blocks. They would still have the issue of distributing keys securely.
