They don't just "not like the US". The US is actively terrorizing their homelands.
My takeaway is that most people assume a university professor never "brushes up against the floor of society" (as you put it). This article is good for enlightening people that this is far from the case.

Long story, short: 1. Realize the world is moving beyond Windows 2. Cede mobile OS to Android/iOS, that battle is lost. 3. Realize, next great revenue stream is the Cloud (Azure).

I think the part that you may be missing is that View 1 (embedded view) is hosted on DocuSign's domain. So the view may be designed by the client, but it's not hosted by the client. It's hosted on DocuSign. Then View 2,…
Even if they added this feature, the API bug would still remain (it would just be covered up by the UI). A sophisticated enough client user would still have access to the all data associated to the API user.
I'm curious as to how HelloSign guards against this. Do they have some sort of session token that sends you back to the signing page on refresh? (i.e. similar to guard to avoid submitting shopping cart purchases twice).
When I read retrospectives like this, I wonder how many apps have this bug and don't know it.
Whether an API is "good" or "bad" often is dependent on the requirements of the calling client. At the beginning of projects when client requirements are unclear, it is often hard to determine whether a supporting…
Was going to post roughly the same thing. All good suggestions in the article, but there are absolutely costs in the approaches she suggests (unless she's saying people's time has no value).
On the flip side, many of the previous generations of parents would kill to have the choices their kids have. They simply never had those choices when they grew up.
FB post is solely about "literal" vs "non-literal" code copying. These are words that the lawyers chose to use to communicate a complex (for non-programmers) idea to a bunch of non-programmers. I think of "non-literal"…
John Romero was largely responsible for the stories and designs of the old school iD games from back in the day. Carmack brought the tech brilliance to make it happen.
I believe the "non-literal copying" thing simply refers to the insight gained from the R&D time he spent on Occulus while still an employee of Zenimax. 90% of HN members know that this deep understanding is FAR, FAR,…
"While I personally believe they did break the NDA by showing the hardware with the demo Carmack cooked up, the amount of money awarded is beyond absurd." That all depends on if the demo was the deciding factor in the…
They also made a number of "free" games that were published by SoftDisk. This was all pre-modern software era though. If that happened today, it would end up very similarly to how the Occulus case ended up.
Yep. Check out 4:06 from this scene from "The Aviator": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1pPyarKhA Lady: "We don't care about money here, Mr. Hughes" Howard Hughes: "That's because you have it"
Now, let me just dispel a myth you stated. You believe that "Given two equally talented people, the one that pursues a goal obsessively, for well over 40 hours a week, is going to achieve more." This works for people…
Also easier to be a genius, when you have an actual genius (Wozniak) creating things the world had never seen before.

Thank you for answering. And wow, amazing results from using the default "marketing" you get with the Mac App Store (especially given the difficulties that so many others have reported).
