EFF waging war on bullshit Internet
patents 04/19/2004 04:23 PM
This is so freaking cool: EFF is going to start actively busting bullshit Internet patents, hunting down prior art and getting the USPTO to revoke the patents.

The new EFF initiative seeks to document these threats and fight back against them. EFF has pledged to file "re-examination" requests with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), asking the agency to revoke patents that are having negative effects on Internet innovation and free expression.

"More and more, people are using software and Internet technology to express themselves," said EFF Staff Attorney Wendy Seltzer. "Patent owners who threaten this expression are creating a chilling effect on free speech."

Yahoo's Web Bugs: How to Opt Out

Yahoo's Web Bugs: How to Opt Out 05/11/2004 01:22 PM

A reader alerts me to Yahoo's use of Web Bugs, invisible files that let the company track a variety of behavior "inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with Yahoo! products and services." Yahoo says no personally identifying information is collected, but since it knows who you are when you're doing email, that's a distinction without a difference, I think. Anyway, here's a page where you can opt out. Yahoo calls them "Web Beacons," a rhetorical trick. Note that you have to do it for each browser you use, and the browsers have to accept cookies. Also note that when you opt out you get a page that makes it all to easily to inadvertently opt back in. Be careful. For more information on web bugs, see this page by Richard Smith.

Bugs are Free

Bugs are Free 03/13/2003 10:14 AM

Speaking with Dare today helped me to clarify one of my motives for doing "open source" things -- a motive that I suspect is shared by many.  This particular motive stems (in essence) from the psychology that "bug fixes should be free".  It's not about fixing bugs, but the psychology is closely related:

When writing code, programmers usually have some goal or outcome in mind -- some valuable vision which they wish to materialize.  The path between vision and realization is never as clear and clean as one initially imagines, though.  Nowhere is persistence in the face of disappointment more important than in computer programming.  Along the path from vision to reality, the programmer encounters many obstacles which warrant an attitude "it shouldn't be so hard to embed a web page in a WinForm!" or "why the heck didn't the docs say that this was a zero-based index??"  There are many things that one encounters when programming which are simply wrong, in a fundamental "the universe is not right" sense.

I believe that most programmers do not want to give away their valuable end-product without some kind of significant reward.It is unlikely that someone would sink the sort of psychological and material investment necessary to produce good software if they perceived it as being worthless.  On the other hand, the psychology will be quite different for code that was written to overcome obstacles on the path to realizing that vision.  When someone looks at a piece of code and thinks "I never should have been forced to jump through so many hoops to accomplish such a simple task", they are far more likely to think that the code should see wide distribution.

Of course, one could say that the act of eliminating a common road-block that has plagued other programmers is valuable, and therefore should be priced accordingly.  In fact, this is the case.  Much of the software industry produces "platform" products which are essentially middlemen sitting between (and ideally assisting) programmers and the real-world "solutions" that they create.  I think that the real psychological difference, however, is the way that software producers view their obstacles.  Even if you are writing "platform" software which is not directly addressing real-world solutions, your software is "real-world" to the extent that someone will pay you licensing fees for it (in other words, it could be very real value as far as you're concerned).  On the other hand, every unexpected obstacle that "shouldn't have been a problem in the first place" will be perceived by most as annoying expenses that reduce the profit margin (monetary or otherwise). 

Happiness isn't a universal right, but pursuit of happiness is.People are far more likely to be altruistic about removing unreasonable obstacles (as perceived by them) to the pursuit of happiness.

The Reality of Bugs

The Reality of Bugs 11/13/2003 12:38 AM

As some comments in my previous blog entry illustrate, I think people simply don't grasp the magnitude of the Web. There are (conservatively) 10 million Web sites on the Web. Let's say (conservatively) that each Web site has 50 unique Web pages. That's 500 million Web pages that the Web browser has to work perfectly on.

Let's imagine that the browser has done a fantastic job of emulating all the quirks of WinIE and Netscape 4, and that it is really good at laying out malformed HTML. An awesome browser would be (conservatively) 95% compliant, which means that it would have some sort of bug or problem on 5% of those 500 million Web pages.

5% of 500 million Web pages is 25 million malfunctioning Web pages. Let's now assume that only 10% of those Web pages are even seen by someone using Safari itself. Now we're down to 2.5 million pages seen by Safari users.

If only 10% of those users even bother to report a bug, that's 250,000 unique bugs that have to be screened.

This is the reality of the Web. People are constantly shocked and amazed that their pet bug hasn't been fixed in subsequent releases (e.g., in Mozilla or Safari), but those people simply don't understand how many hundreds of thousands of bugs their particular problem is competing with.
