New York's golden age

New York's golden age 01/02/2005 06:28 PM

The NY Times recently asked a few New Yorkers which era they would nominate as New York's golden age. Like Greg, I thought Bill T. Jones' answer was the most penetrating:

Right after 9/11.

New York had a true reappraisal of itself at a tragic and introspective moment. New York had the attention of the whole world; it was a frightening moment. But the world was ready to follow, to assist.

It lasted a few months. We were vulnerable and open to the rest of the world, and we were ready for a change. There was a chance to ask questions, and it was a time when we were forced to do so.

But it didn't happen. There wasn't a true conversation about what America means to the rest of the world or about why New York was chosen. It was an opportunity. And then the politicians took it.

That last sentence is a doozy, isn't it? It saddens me to think that in times when we need to have open and honest communication to heal wounds and investigate opportunities, we instead let ourselves get caught up with the marketing of powerful men.

New York's Finest Sweep Up Streets

New York's Finest Sweep Up Streets 09/02/2004 01:52 PM
Protests at RNC test appropriate response
An eyewitness account by I Can't Believe Its A Democracy - "I just have to pause here for a moment to make an observation. How many times have I seen an interview with an arrested protester who claimed he or she had done nothing to provoke the police. Almost always my reaction has been, "Yeah, sure." Only now I was seeing this very situation unfold in front of my eyes. These protesters, while certainly noisy, had obeyed police instructions down the entire length of the street. Now they were being treated as if they had gotten wildly out of control, but they hadn't. I know, because I was there."

Another account from Captain Normal (also an eyewitness and even got arrested and held for 24 hours without being charged or being able to contact a lawyer) discusses a family of French tourists caught up in the sweep as well as some of the other residents of "Gitmo on the Hudson".

Comment Goal Reached

Comment Goal Reached 09/07/2004 11:52 PM

We very quietly reached another goal this week. Since I started this site almost three years ago, I've wanted to have as many comments as I had entries. I don't know why, it just seemed like a good goal to have.

The first iteration of the site was a custom PHP app that didn't even have comments, so we got a late start. We flirted with the goal for the last few weeks, but it doesn't help that we're posting like chipmunks on crack these days. I'm also really anal-retentive about the comments — there are no spams, "me toos," or test comments in the database. All comments are legit.

Anyway, comments passed up entries on Sunday. As I write this, we have 2,909 entries and 2,938 comments. Next goal: 3,000 entries, which we'll hit by the end of the month. The ultimate goal has always been 5,000 entries, and we're on a pace to hit that by the end of next year.

Compromise

Compromise 02/13/2004 09:23 PM
Even though I haven't the fogggiest idea about the backstory to this vanity license plate, I like to think of this as the quintessential compromise of a very confused couple....

Why the compromise?

Why the compromise? 01/17/2004 10:45 PM
So—why the compromise position? Taken together, these reasons added up.

1. Most users don’t care about this issue; they want to read the news.

The reason NetNewsWire is forgiving with RSS feeds is because other aggregators that came before NetNewsWire were too. Did I get bug reports like “I can’t read this feed in NetNewsWire, but I can read it in x?” Yes.

2. There’s the prisoners dilemma.

Given that only one other aggregator developer was willing to require well-formed-ness for Atom, I was going to get bug reports for Atom feeds. “It works in x, but not in NetNewsWire, it must be NetNewsWire’s bug, right?”

I don’t have time to spend on bug reports for bugs that aren’t even my bugs.

3. There’s an issue of perceived bias.

The reason I wrote my own weblog software was so that people wouldn’t suspect that my software is designed to work best with system x. There’s a similar issue here: I’m on the RSS Board, and yet I don’t want people to think NetNewsWire is designed to work against Atom.

There are some ironies here, of course—one of them being that I believed that my initial choice was the best thing for Atom. (One person jokingly suggested I be removed from the RSS board for being too good to Atom.)

In fact, I still believe my initial choice was the best thing for Atom.

But my job is writing software that people like; my job is not to take care of Atom.

Motorola May Compromise on UWB

Motorola May Compromise on UWB 02/17/2004 10:30 AM
Report says Motorola may over bridge proposal to bring unity to UWB development: Motorola, which acquired XtremeSpectrum, represents one camp in the IEEE 802.15.3a task group designed for high-speed, short-distance connectivity for 110 to 480 Mbps networking. UWB was decided on as the physical flavor months ago, but the Multi-band OFDM Alliance (Intel, TI, et. al) and Motorola have two competing and incompatible proposals. An olive branch could coalesce the differences, avoiding a standards war....

Compromise on Atom and XML

Compromise on Atom and XML 01/17/2004 10:45 PM
Tim Bray suggested a setting for how strict a parser should be with a given feed. Eric Albert suggested a smiley face (as in iCab) to distinguish well-formed from non-well-formed feeds.

I’ve gotten lots of email on the topic of Atom and requiring well-formed XML. I’ve read about this topic pretty much everywhere it’s popped up. And I conclude, reluctantly, that a compromise is the best thing.

I encourage Nick Bradbury—and any other aggregator developer who was planning on requiring XML well-formed-ness for Atom feeds—to take a similar position. Nobody should take a bullet over this.

What I plan to do in NetNewsWire is something like the following—though details may change, of course.

1. Have global and per-feed settings for requiring well-formed XML. The default will be no, to not require it. My Atom and RSS parsers will both work around non-well-formed feeds in the same way. (They’ll most likely use the same code.)

2. Have an optional indicator of some kind that displays when a feed isn’t well-formed XML. (Probably not a little frowny face, but who knows.) This feature will also be turned off by default.

3. Make the Validate this Feed command more visible. Right now it’s available only through a contextual menu; it should be easier to find and use.

If you’re a NetNewsWire user, and you don’t care about this issue, it will stay out of your way. You’ll notice an extra pref and a command in the menu bar, but NetNewsWire won’t be complaining about non-well-formed feeds all the time.

You’re not expected to care about this issue, by the way—you want to read the news. That’s totally cool.

And me, I just want to get back to work fixing bugs and adding new features.

Settlement reached in iPod battery
lawsuit

Settlement reached in iPod battery
lawsuit 06/05/2005 11:20 PM
Apple is offering consumers who had battery problems with older versions of the popular iPod digital music player $50 vouchers and extended service warranties under a tentative settlement in a class-action lawsuit. According to AP, lawyers representing consumers in the state court case said that the settlement could affect as many as 2 million people nationwide who purchased first-, second- and third-generation iPods through May 2004. Apple confirmed the settlement but has not officially commented. The settlement comes after eight consumers filed a suit in 2003, alleging that the iPod failed to live up to claims that the rechargeable battery would last the product's lifetime and play music continuously for up to 10 hours. According to the terms of the settlement, people who fill out a claim form are entitled to receive $50 redeemable toward the purchase of any Apple products or services except iTunes downloads or iTunes gift certificates. Consumers will be notified of the tentative settlement in three ways: by e-mail, by letters, and through advertisements in USA Today and Parade Magazine in the next month, said Elizabeth C. Pritzker, an attorney at Burlingame-based law firm Cotchett, Pitre, Simon & McCarthy LLP, which represented two plaintiffs. Apple has agreed to pay up to $2.8 million to the two law firms that represented consumers.
