That is certainly the most plausible reading of that phrase, but it still seems like it could be put into a licence pretty easily, along the lines of "User of these patents hereby relinquishes all claims of infringement against Tesla M

I feel like (again, until clarified) it's more broad than that. "Wants to use our technology" certainly implies to me that I can seek out Tesla's patent applications and attempt to build using them.

Agreed. I was hoping for a link to a BSD- or Creative Commons-style license, but this was only a reason for not [suing anyone] using the patents (as welcome as that is). [edited for clarification]

Is there a better way to test a tech than to make a product with it?

Probably has to do with the way we interact with RAM (memory addresses?) vs persistent memory (file system). Can those two be merged, or is the whole system like a giant RAM disk?

I'll go ahead and say it won't happen that way. Whether they can or not, they will say something to the effect of "It happened on your network; you're responsible unless you can prove it wasn't you."

I wouldn't necessarily say "never." The author says Apple has no interest in open source projects, but there is precedent with WebKit and the LLVM project. So while no one should hold their breath waiting for Apple to open so

I can imagine it too, and I'm sure Netflix can as well. But nearly everyone making high quality/premium video TODAY requires DRM. Edit: To clarify, if someone wants to make a service like Netflix and have it actually ship today (o

Thanks for the data. I'll back it up with a personal anecdote: I was at least a grade if not 2-3 grades ahead of my class by the time I got to kindergarten. My parents (and the full-time babysitter) read to me. I had "Goodnight Mo

I'll second your point about doing work that you believe is important. I'm nowhere near as experienced as you (only 28 here) and I've only got two jobs to compare, but I can easily pinpoint the biggest difference between the

Is there anything more modern that also does this (generates flat files from a database that can then be uploaded/served statically)?

There is also a WordPress plugin for generating static pages to upload later, but it's got a lot of gotchas and doesn't seem to have been updated recently. I'm using on my site. http://leonstafford.com/wordpre

This. So much of this. I see real value in using App.net as an identity provider so that I'm not relying on something shaky like Twitter or Facebook but I can still get the benefits that come with an external provider (lower signup fri

I agree with the clarification that "it's a technology that never got a share of average users aware that they were actually using it." Plenty of people subscribe to news feeds in Twitter; what do you think the backend tech

Agreed. The OP's point seems to be that he's asking for a high-level overview of what Phone Call Guy wants to talk about, but Phone Call Guy is pushing for a phone call. There's at best a mutual disrespect, and at worst Phone

Based on some informal research I did ~10 years ago (i.e. I ready the LGPL as a high school student), the LGPL requires, among other things, an end-user license allowing reverse engineering. The LGPL isn't just "my code is GPL, th
