Nice read. I've never read any Chomsky. He mentions inventions related to industries (textiles, steel and pharmaceutical...) and sciences. I'd be curious to read more from him about IP applied to art. Any idea where to look at?

Putting work into the Public Domain is ironically not the best way to serve the public good. It's much safer to have a permissive license. Chomsky's answer here might have unintentionally passed the wrong idea in that sense.

Have you had trouble changing the UI? I haven't tried ShareKit but the website highlights "Customizable UI" as one of the main features.

Interesting! Could you share urls to the non-games you made using unity?

The actual facts and numbers here make a strong argument. As an iPhone indie developer I thought it was well worth the read.

I went through your comments and you mentioned that "in a nutshell" the fact that there's no such thing as a full stop in space is why "this explanation is actually doing a disservice". But that's confusing to me because she clearly stated

If she had started by explaining relativity her post would have been twice the size and she would have lost half the audience. Doesn't it matter to you that people were actually interested in the topic and participative? And why is a follow

"[...] it's utterly inaccurate and incorrect. There is no such thing as "moving through space"." I think you're missing the point here. She's not trying to teach people the perfect semantics, she's trying to progressively teach them concept

Why so cynical? I didn't mean that at all. I thought the parent poster was showing a typo and I figured it'd be relevant to show they had fixed it in the meantime. (It does help to use square brackets to indicate change from the original qu

As far as I understand it, the problem with public domain is it's not a license, but a meaning, and this meaning varies between countries. A completely permissive license (if well written) could be more permissive than PD in some parts of t

I wish there was more documentation about the portability of Objective-C and specific Core Foundation features. It's hard to find a definitive answer. gcc supports Objective-C, and Apple open sources CF-Lite, but apparently and confusingly,

It's interesting to me to see this comment getting up-voted (has 12 points as I'm writing this). It gives me a new perspective on what could a seemingly inconsiderate person be thinking of.

Why is it so hard to believe he needs help? Psychosis is not rare, and today's medicine does miracles - you can still have a perfectly normal life. The hardest part is for the patient to accept his condition.

I'm not arguing against or in favor, I'm just interested in understanding, but the claim here seemed broader than tied to a specific business model like you're suggesting. Did you get that from the full interview? The long quotes in the art

Does she actually explain why in the full interview?

Yes! And praising the stuff you love is so much more constructive than flaming the stuff you hate. Hurray to the lovers!

I feel those who point "free" alternatives to Hero Scale have never actually tried to auto-scale their dynos. That gem is not a serious alternative. David Dollar worked on it for one day and then never committed anything again (except for t

I'm not entirely surprised. Heroku's manual-scale model has shown a strong focus to sell to the enterprises. The App Engine's auto-scale model (no expenses if no traffic, but always ready to face peaks) is largely friendlier to individuals
