I agree that plain form is important. Also your thinking on how children is learning. But, grammar is important. Memorising phrases only get me to be able to use phrases in a very specific situation. Once I am able to dissect a sentence and analyse how it's constructed, I am able to make similar form of sentences for a different purpose.
So, if I understood correctly:
If I use an HTTP 1.0/1.1 with PacketZoom, I'll be communicating on the internet with HTTP 1.0/1.1 over PacketZoom?
What if I want to communicate on the internet with other protocols such as WebSocket, SPDY, or HTTP 2.0? Does it work the same way?
We should consider what profession we are in. I'm a software developer, and the opportunity for me to gain more and more luxurious or easy opportunities are slim. No matter which path I will take (entrepreneur or employment).
If you're an MBA or PhD from an Ivy League school, you maybe able to do that. But, what if you're just some dirt in your employer's shoe?
WOW, so many commenters are complaining about the blog design, instead of the content of the post.
People should stop being so serious. People should take a look at things from a different perspective, and gain positive values from it.
Honestly, yes.
Sometimes I look down on them, but sometimes I'm not. This is also the case for most entrepreneurs. Of course, an entrepreneur won't look down on his/her own employees.
The only factor that influences my view is what kind of employment the resigned entrepreneur is switching to. If it's a great job, then I would respect him/her.
It's a false perception to compare entrepreneur to employee. We should compare "What are we contributing to the society?", instead of merely "How do we contribute to the society?".
Good point. But, what if in the "imaginary case", Google starts to become the one and only internet service?
They will have the largest capital, the best human resources, and they could control the market. I mean factually nobody could compete with Google. Because of a reality that nobody could make money if they want to compete with Google.
Let's also imagine that they start venturing into non-internet service, and they were able to do that too because of the large amount of capital that they have amassed from a long time.
I understand that government should not break companies just because of their political power, but in this imaginary Googlism society. How do people who are upset with Google or at least not satisfied, start to find or build another provider?
(I know this is quite impossible, given the amount of competing internet services, but just imagine).
Useless, but published anyway.
I agree. Thanks for explaining :-).
As long as they don't lock things just like the iPhone, and I'm sure it's quite impossible. Because we can run official developer tools on the Mac.
Mac is the only device left that we could tinker without paying contracts, etc.
3 years of having arguments with the public will make some people lose their patience. That's how I see it.
They're still there, and they're always there. Consumer devices are always available since the age of tinkering is easier.
Tinkering people don't represent the majority of device users. If they want to learn and tinker, there are ways (e.g. Linux).
As long as new digital products are produced, it still needs the basic software for its basic functionality. Unless if every device is using the same technology and the same set of software.
Isn't that the point of this article?
For females, don't get too excited.
If you're pretty, sexy, and all that, they will continue to respond you, and supported you in every endeavor. But, if you're not pretty, you would be judged only by your appearance. Not your brain.
Tumblr is better.
Well, unless anyone is willing to re-implement Foundation and UIKit framework, writing iPhone apps with pure C will take forever.
