Actual piracy on rise, response

Actual piracy is on the rise. That is to say, more people are boarding more ships with more guns and shooting more people and taking more cargo, all the while uttering more horrible cries of "ARRRRR."

Strangely, the shipping industry's response isn't to keelhaul passengers who don't tip well on ocean cruises, or to hull random pleasure boats, or to demand special bow-mounted lasers that vaporize any ship that gets within a hundred miles.

Around the world, more than 20 sailors are known to have been murdered by pirates last year.

Seventy are missing, presumed dead.

Other trends are also emerging: ships are now less likely to be hijacked for their cargo; attackers, possibly from militant groups, are seizing ships and ransoming their crew.

About Google's response


About Google's response 04/23/2004 07:13 PM

I didn't like Google's response yesterday which came through Evan Williams. It was about as snotty as it could be, and started a whole bunch of people characterizing the issue as a conspiracy theory. How Nixonesqe. This is par for the course, Google's PR with the blogging community is usually like this these days, but it wasn't always so. There was a time when they dealt with us with respect, understanding that we are part of the Web that they cover with their search engine. As they've grown they seem to have forgotten that.

But in fact, Google does do things to force Atom support, so the conjecture is reasonable, and Evan didn't deny they were doing it.

Exactly this sort of thing happened with the Google Toolbar and its support for Blogger, just weeks after they said they wouldn't do anything to favor it over other weblog tools. They said it was just a beta, but the beta became a shipping product and they never explained why they weren't breaking the promise. In fact they were. There were APIs they could have used which would have made their toolbar work with any blogging tool. This would have clearly been the appropriate technical, not-evil, approach.

Google is a very powerful company that plays very fast with developers and content providers. Up till now none of the issues have involved the crawler or the search engine. Now they've crossed into that territory. We deserve a better answer than the one Evan gave us, certainly a more respectfully stated one.

Disclaimer: I own stock in UserLand, which Blogger competes with. Blogger is part of Google. I don't own stock in any other technology company.

(1) The feed URL dialog that tells you 10.4 must be installed to view RSS feeds is simply a bug and not part of a master plan for global domination.
(2) The View Source shortcut was changed to match Mail.app.
(3) The default bookmarks reappearing after being removed won't happen going forward now that the way this is handled has been changed. See (1) above re: global domination.
(4) The selection extends to the edges of lines in the new Safari just as it does in other Mac apps like TextEdit. This change had to be made so that editing selection would behave like NSTextView. It was a challenge translating this to the Web space, but I will blog more about this in a future entry.
(5) When saving links to the desktop from the context menu, you can hold down Option to change the menu item so that you can pick a location.

Marc’ ;s Voice. I wish I understood everything Marc writes because then I'd be a millionaire. But please, someone get that man a <blockquote>! [Photo Matt]

Dude - blockquotes are so HTML.  Have I told you how much I hate HTML?

How we were set backwards in 1994 - afer all those years of moving forward towards beinging media into people's lives? Napster kind of made upf or that - but in general - the HTML web is a straw sipping dial-up waiting, lo-res experience.

I'm sorry - I just can't draw myself into accepting that - I'm too dam old.

Anyway - I owe you a phone call - but I through I'd spell out in public what we'll talk about in private (after I get back from seeing my middle son star in "Oklahoma".)

1.  Folks have been asking for FOAF in WordPress.  You joined our FOAFnet Wiki - so you must be interested.  BTW I'm totally jazzed that you're supporting ESF and ENT!

2. I also have been dealing with other blogging tools who have been trying to figure out "how much" FOAF to support.

3.  Some blogging tools are adding friends capabiltiies, others adding groups, still others have blog tools coupled to content sites and game databases.  So it's happening. Just as I predicted.  For every kind of everything - they'll be a social network/digital identity play associated with it.

4.  So you get to decide how far you want WordPress to go.  You can just make your FOAF the 'About Me' page. That's cool.  Info on the blogger, easily discoverable. No more confusion over who's the blogger (unless of course the blogger doesn't want anybody to KNOW who he/she is.)

5.  Or you can go further.  Build basic friends or groups - or go whole hog - build the entire PeopleAggregator within WordPress.  Commons page.  Public and Private pages.  Group, multiple relationships, multiple personalities.  All for the taking.

My older, wiser brother Steve just posted an interesting interview with Jonathan Schwartz at Sun, who discusses his company's plans to embed RSS into just about everything, apparently. Microsoft's Robert Scoble has quite a few bones to pick with Schwartz. Robert makes some good points. But he might be wiser not to brag about Microsoft's intentions to put RSS into a component of the Longhorn operating system, given how long it may be before the ever-receding OS sees the light of day for regular folks who need RSS most of all. But if this is the start of a one-upsmanship festival, in which Microsoft, Sun and Apple (and the Linux folks) race to make RSS a core part of what they do, I'm all for it.

I wrote a post about Ted Leung and his microcontent personality disorder needs.

Steve Mallet left this comment about the post:

His life would a lot easier if he published everything from his weblog. (http://datalibre.com) , owned all that data himselft and let others aggregate it. Imagine how complicated life will be for him when he wants to move his images, bookmarks, etc to a different service or service(s). [Fooworks]

...and here's my response to Steve's comment:

Dude - as if! Let me give you the Trotts' and Evan Williams' phone numbers and why don't you ask them why they don't store all forms of micro-content and aggregate entire lifestyles in their products today?

The fact is Ted (and everyone else) lives in a world of multiple accounts, multiple generations of stuff, multiple locations, services and accounts we own and use. That's just life. Your digital life.

So YES we want the blogging tools to store and manage all this stuff - but by the time they do that - they'll be called digitial lifestyle aggregators.

:-)

Some will start from TypePad and blogging.

Others will come at it from Flickr and photo sharing.

Still others will start like 1UP.com and a game portal.

Or Glowria.fr and a DVD rental biz.


But five years form now - they'll be the ones making all the cash with white label deals - not stand alone blogging tools.

Critique of Ken Brown's response


Critique of Ken Brown's response 06/06/2004 09:29 AM
I hereby present a critique to K5 of Ken Brown's response to critics of his book, Samizdat. The following quote gives a good introduction to the sort of response it is: Linux is a leprosy; and is having a deleterious effect on the U.S. IT industry because it is steadily depreciating the value of the software industry sector. Software is also embedded in hardware, chips, printers and even consumer electronics. Should embedded software become 'free' too, it would be natural to conclude the value of hardware will spiral downward as well. Does this remind anyone of the stance that Microsoft took that the GPL is "viral"? Note: in the interests of attribution (which Ken Brown likes to talk about a lot), I cited all articles linked to on June 5th (Sydney, Australia for those across international date lines). I am unable to prevent any changes made to this website.

Safari Response: scripting.com


Safari Response: scripting.com 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

Dav e Winer writes about a problem Safari has with Chris Lydon's weblog. This particular bug has been the subject of discussion on other sites as well.

The bug in question was really caused by poor CSS, and, although Safari certainly should have handled this poor CSS in a better fashion, I felt compelled to blog about this in more detail so that Web designers can avoid this coding error in the future.

What causes Safari to get confused is that float:left is specified on a td. This is a rather nonsensical thing to do, and the browser really has two choices regarding how it can handle this scenario.

Choice One, the WinIE way, is to just drop the float property completely and treat the td like a table cell. This results in the rendering that Chris Lydon clearly expects.

Choice Two, the Mozilla way (and definitely the correct way according to the spec), is to honor the float property, which means the td is no longer a table cell but a float, and so the float gets wrapped in an anonymous table cell that encloses it. The specified width is no longer used to participate in table layout, and so that's why Mozilla "misrenders" the links on the right-hand-side of Lydon's weblog.

On to Safari. Safari was trying to give Web designers the best of both worlds. In Safari, I implemented a quirk that was supposed to give you the WinIE behavior in quirks mode, but give you the Mozilla behavior in strict mode. Chris Lydon's weblog (based off the transitional doctype) is in quirks mode.

The problem is that I didn't get the floating bit cleared in all of the places that checked for it, so the table cell ended up being quasi-floating, and thus event handling got broken on the cell.

Anyway, the quirk has been improved so that Lydon's blog will render as WinIE does in quirks mode, and if he decides to ever shift to strict mode it will render like Mozilla does.

In the mean time, the float:left should clearly be removed so that Mozilla can start rendering the site as the designer expected as well.
