What Josef wants is an open patent ultimately. That’s fine. Just don’t call it open source. Patent all the things you can and then publish whatever you like. There’s no shame in patenting work you actually made. Publishing patented work under whatever license you want to make up is better than a fully closed product by a mile. Instead of hang wringing over what is the soul of open source just stand up and honestly say “Hey I’d like control over my own work” then share it or don’t as you see fit. It’s far more honest and straightforward.

I've often wondered why someone doesn't combine analytics with more traditional executive dashboarding, ie show me revenue per click, per visitor, etc. There is more to most businesses than can be measured in just a website.

Article aside I'm pissed at the poor UI of INC. Why make me click through three pages to read the story but put ALL of the comments on the first page. You crappy UI tainted what was otherwise a good article.

how about the singularity.

there are things we know we know, and there are things we know we don't know then there are things we don't know we don't know ...

I think this is optimistic at best. There are certain industries, healthcare for example, where barriers to entry are so high that Innovative approaches are almost always VERY slow to be adopted. Whereas other markets, like consumer electronics change almost constantly. My point is you can't just apply this to all industries equally. Generalizations are at best only speaking to the median.

I just bought a MacBook Pro last month. Why can't they announce these kinds of updates so us poor fools don't get caught with old tech.

I am Milton from Innotech and I hate my life. I'm stuck where I am because I am working full time and a full time student. But neither is really satisfying. I can't seem to raise enough capital to get my ideas off the ground and I can't seem to think of any good ideas that require no capital and can be completed with only a few hours a week.

But I will graduate eventually, then I will make more money and get out of debt. until then all I can really do is watch things from the sidelines and keep learning.

Anyone else note the different mentalities between seeking more capital and outright selling the company?

Why is this still on the front page? it's over folks.

The turkey comment reminds me of black swan investing. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't in fact for certain things, it actually increases the odds that it will happen the more time passes without it occurring, like Volcanic eruptions.

So what can we do to help the situation?

Tease! You started out by saying you would get to the name and shape of the Pilcrow in this article, but you never quite got there. Oh well I guess I will have to wait for part II.

Why are they limiting it to only a 1000 people?

Does the autoCAD open up into google sketch up? B/c that would be cool.

Very true

How did buddypress come about?

Did anyone notice the relationship changes as you scale both options. The slider almost always shows paypal winning for transactions under $100 except at the $5,000 level and the million level. I'd love to see this in graph form.

Anyone else immediately jump to PTSD when they read this?

Are you just doing research for researches sake? If so good for you. If not, why try and do it independently? Don't you think you deserve to be rewarded for your work? i.e. compensated either with prestige or money? At the very least would you like to be compensated for you contributions to the field?

This is a good outline of a problem, with absolutely no insights into any possible solutions. As far as I'm concerned this is a half finished post. It's not enough to simply complain/outline the problem. You have to use that personal experience to offer up some kind of personal redemption or possible global solution to really keep the conversation moving.

Did anyone else notice how repetitive this was. He basically took an entire page to say, I can blow stuff up, build bridges, am a capable artist/architect. I guess even Da Vinci needed to add some fluff.

The whole industry of recruiters and head hunting is pretty shady to begin with. I'm surprised the head hunter didn't just blatantly lie about her past to get her the job.

who is behind this? Who or what am I donating my hard earned domain to?

You and I may know that but your average voter probably doesn't, and they certainly wouldn't two or three years later when it come back up out of context, in a attack ad.

it sounds like you are advocating a apprenticeship approach, which of course is a centuries old solution to this kind of problem.

Would it have made you feel better if he had invoked Einstein's name? It's satire, relax a little.

What about consumer responsibility? caveat empetor and all. Capitalism only works when we the consumer are willing to buy what is out there instead of holding out for better offers.

To get to the heart of the debate, as a species, we still have trouble quantifying what intelligence is. Regardless of its source or its scope.

spam on HN? say it ain't so.
