My opinion is that _any_ setting that has not been chosen by the user is arbitrary. I understand your opinion, however.

> The default is to send a null value in the header meaning that no intent has been expressed, that's not arbitrary. My statement that there has to be a default in "one direction or the other" is clearly wrong, as you've indicated. I wo

Most likely that's true. In this case the company dedicated time and resources to making an app, and Facebook is enjoying some of the fruit of those efforts. And the fact that this kind of data can sell for $5 gives us an indication of the

Doesn't matter. The company that got the data then sold it on for $5, which gives us an indication of how much they had to pay [1] to get the data from FB in the first place. [1] I'm using "pay" loosely here. I have no idea what they had to

I can't resist. David Vladeck is my dad, and I'm extremely proud of the job he's doing at the FTC.

Thought I'd ask since I'm learning Clojure - are there experiences worth sharing re: using Incanter in these types of settings?

hyperbole much? all s/he said was that one situation reminded her/him of another. based on her/his comment you can't even tell how he feels about either!

Want less emphasis on speed? Let tick marks be less than $0.01. Market-makers are clearly willing to provide spreads of less than $0.01. Any time the price of something is artificially moved out of market equilibrium, there will be queueing

One thing that I wonder about with respect to Bitcoin is the issue of taxation. Governments can support the dominance of their currency within their borders by compelling their citizens to pay taxes in the national currency. And on the "sup

A major problem with this article is that it does not clearly define what "Enemy Of The United States" means in this context. Who made this decision? Is this a special status / designation with associated repercussions, or simply a descript

It's also worth noting that the popup is still a lie. Instapaper can save articles from 9to5Mac, but chooses not to. It's an important distinction for the user, who probably will think that it is something wrong with 9to5Mac.

While AirBNB & Dropbox are successful enough now to consider them "exits" - they haven't actually sold or ipo'd.

This article is hogwash. (1) No. In fact, this does make the user the customer, as opposed to free models that make the user the product. If the user is the customer it does impose somewhat of a guarantee that product development will be
