Third Caveat - SCO does seem to keep going and going. A bit more history -

o A while back there was a Judge verdict, that, as a matter of _law_, SCO did not own the copyrights. (There was no copyright transfer, ergo, the copyrights had not been transferred. That issue is now going to the supreme court, and actually may have a chance of being reviewed - the question is - "Do you need a copyright transfer for copyrights to be considered transferred"

o That was overturned, and it went before a Jury Trial. Once again, the Jury agreed - no transfer of copyrights.

o SCO asked, as a matter of Law, a ruling that clearly the copyrights had been transferred. Denied.

Now, we'll see what else is up SCO's sleeve. Admittedly they are in bankruptcy, and the Bankruptcy official has been put in charge of the organization - so presumably future behavior will be profit maximizing and somewhat rational.
The ongoing relationship is only relevant to the extent that mutual agreement must be maintained to keep the relationship alive; the conditions that the parties agree to are terms of service, not a license agreement, and apply to the relationship itself.

Blizzard may be entirely within their rights to suspend your World of Warcraft account if you connect to their servers with a hacked client. But they still wouldn't have any legal right to control what you do with the bits on your own hard drive.

The pro-EULA argument is that they could claim that right either way.
Safeway will give you a discount (yeah, it's only like a nickel or so) if you bring your own bags. I think many other grocery stores will too. It's very poorly advertised (though I'm starting to see flyers up), so most people still don't know about it. I've never seen a cashier complain about bringing your own bags, though.
There are plenty:

* Monetate
* Infuse Media
* Venmo
* Vuzit
* MyYearbook
* Relay Network
* PackLate
* ClickEquations
* Portico

And these are just the ones I could think of before I got bored with this question ;-)

Also, First Round doesn't really invest in a lot of Philly startups at this point. They do know most of the people in the area, though.
No I think neither can, but both can stop you from selling the result.
add one to cart, apply promo, enter bogus data, checkout. repeat.
Eric Garner would have been choked over smuggled gum. :-/
I never claimed vinyl was superior, just different in a way I enjoy.
It makes some sense to want to know this. You might know that your build process doesn't benefit from more than 4 jobs, and want to alert this to the developer who tries to use more.
But its a larger fraction than ever before in history, its pretty safe to say. So the problem is perhaps the smallest its been, and declining. That's a positive thing.
I very much doubt this is true. I’m sure there are a very large number of FAANG quality engineers all over the eastern US, let alone other countries, that couldn’t or wouldn’t make the move to SV. I would be willing to put money on it being the MAJORITY capable of being hired into those roles couldn’t or wouldn’t move there to take them.

There is no amount of money that would have convinced me to leave Florida. My family and my wife’s family is here. My children’s friends and extended support networks are here. This life is not worth losing for any pay raise. I’m willing to bet a very large number of quality engineer made the same decision I did.
I never really thought of it in those terms. But I guess signals and slots are just way to publish/subscribe to a message bus. It is quite a nice abstraction of it IMHO (which is perhaps why it didn't occur to me!).
I’m quite sure they’re spraying a lot of chemicals on their products.
Am I having deja vu? Didn’t this happen like 6 months or so ago? I didn’t keep reading because I was convinced I read this before.
I think there are a lot of preconceived notions regarding developing nations.

A lot of people who can leave, do leave. I left, for example. However, there are a tonne of people who are super smart, but can't leave because of their ageing parents, or other reasons.

Leaving everything you know behind takes courage, and adapting to a new world, a new life takes a lot out of you. Not everyone wants to leave their loved ones. Furthermore, if you are older, it's even harder.

Funny story, one of the reasons I left Bangladesh is because I used to work for this company that paid me 1/6th of the salary someone else was making in a more developed Asian country. I was doing the same work, succeeding at it too.

However, when I wanted equal pay for equal work, they decided to not renew my contract. Back then, I was young, so I decided to apply abroad, an was luckily accepted. Not everyone can do this, because again, you have family, and responsibilities.

2 months into my new job, my old company begs me to come back, and offers me the salary that was more than I wanted, and an O1 visa sponsorship should I want to go to America.
I used to have a job with a very heavy travel load and had the same experience. First 2 nights at a new location was terrible, even if it was a really nice hotel.

Some of the customers I used to work with had me visit them multiple times. After I had gotten used to a particular hotel (typically the second visit) I slept much better. Over multiple visits comes a basic level of familiarity with restaurants, roads, shops, etc and my level of stress dropped as well.
Weaponized is the correct word. The word "racist" is morphing into a racial slur. It's now just a bludgeon to shut up someone with the wrong views. I believe this comes from the idea that the only possible way to be moral is to wield power by any means necessary because you're right and "they" are evil.
Apparently, this project requires the game assets to work - so you have to own a (legitimate) PC version of the game. https://github.com/GTAmodding/re3#intro

Of course, R*/Take-Two could always make a case.
Moderation nothing, the chargeback rate on these transactions is going to be so high the whole service can’t last long.
Do you have a reference or anything for short sci fi stories/books to read?

My attention span is pretty bad these days, but I enjoyed reading the first half just now.
A “bad look” to the “Yahoo!” brand? Their “brand look” has been value destruction for more than 15 years, hitting their stride early with 2005’s acqui-trashing of upcomly, del.icio.us and Flickr.

You're right - I didn't have anything constructive to add and should have kept this thought to myself. Apologies to OP.
You also cannot disable homosexuality so I don't think their decisions are politically aligned.
Why do you think there is so much violence in prisons?
Safe to assume this improvement will carry over to Electron?

I’ve tried using Discord for video chat and screen sharing on a 4 year old laptop (2.9 ghz dual core i5) and it was not a pleasant experience.

I knew what that would be before I clicked on it.

YA has little value in providing actual answers, but it's a great source of entertainment and possibly even illumination into how a certain subset of the population think.
> “microservices” sounds hip and cutting-edge

Maybe 8 years ago it did.
Ahhh,I see thanks.
You literally just need a thin majority of people in a community to force through zoning changes. Maybe people actually prefer to both live in and live around SFH-style development?
Yes, but this is still only one of about 10 other factors that prevent the region or city from having enough housing, or affordable housing (and I don't mean in the public government-run housing sense).

Maybe Berkeley should also try to address the other unending issues that they keep up to prevent any meaningful change, if they really mean it:

-- Endless and convoluted environmental + city approvals processes that corrupt any transparent application for development and favor those who have money to navigate it

-- Picking and choosing special interest / special case neighborhoods or people to try to protect, to the detriment of everyone else wanting to live there

-- Rent control

-- The extremely backwards property tax policies that favor existing landowners over anyone new, young, poor (though this admittedly is California's problem, not just one city or county) and make everything else attempted bandaids -- and misguided bandaids, at that -- to fix the system.
If they were upper class they wouldn't have to queue ?
This isn't surprising to me. What does boggle my mind, is that anyone would take their personal PC to any repair shop and allow strangers full access to their filesystem in the first place. What an odd and ignorant thing to do.
Cardano doesnt even have smart contracts yet, how have they implemented nfts?

otherwise yes, energy usage will be dropping massively on most networks with pos upgrades.
My wife had a tremendous amount of pain while breastfeeding, to the point that it was harming her relationship with our children. Watching her suffer through that was emotionally painful for me as well. Having been through that experience and talked to other moms about it we know that she is not alone in her experience.
If you store it in UTC, it becomes obsolete when the rules change for that location. If you store it in the local time, it becomes obsolete for other timezones (think the timezone of the traveler before they leave). If you store both UTC and the local, then one (of the 2) becomes obsolete, but recoverable assuming you can scrub the data. However, you must know which is correct based on the rules change itself.
How is that in any way realistic?

It is treated water that they're thinking of releasing. Still radioactive, but not Fukushima radioactive.
Yes, but you'd have to get it into space first. Rocket equation tyranny is expensive to get past.
I've done two quick passes over this transcript, and a theme stands out to me: Thiel and company repeatedly claim that there is no meaningful difference between the Chinese military and individual Chinese nationals who work for American companies, because China is essentially a fusion state where the government dictates the flow of capital. In this account, America is supposed to be distinct: there is a clear division between capital and state, and the US government (overwhelmingly) does not interfere with capital interests. I don't think this is particularly accurate (in either direction), but that's the claim that I see staked out.

But then there's a turn-on-a-dime: Silicon Valley should be held to account by the US government, and should be made by state authority to advance specific domestic and foreign policies. Thiel and company are explicit about the policies they'd like to see the state advance by strongarming private capital: strategic investment in Taiwanese technological interests, not banning hateful content, &c.

So my question: what gives? The latter is very explicitly a "fusion" (i.e., Chinese) approach to state and capital; isn't that exactly what the Thiel and paleoconservative types are claiming to be against? Is there some inner logic to this that I'm not perceiving, or is this all just Kissinger-style realpolitik?
So it seems like, but it has been ongoing for very long:

But it requires you to know which one is larger. The patented way is faster if you are working with unsigned.
Not easily. Trying to gain a controlling stake in a public company triggers regulatory involvement.

I'm still unclear why Nvidia would want to control Arm. If they wanted an architecture they could extend as they wished, they can use RISC-V (which they are already doing in a small way).
Quality of life is one thing but what happens with the bottom 20%-30% earners? Would they be able to afford living after a sudden change like this? Everyone pushed for a change but I've never seen one(so far) that talk about those that can barely survive as it is.
HN is terrible to use on touchscreens (smartphones, tablets, certain laptops) and I wouldn't be surprised if more than 5% of HN's target audience are negatively affected by it. And I doubt that many people use 39 inch monitors, certainly not 95% of the target audience.
This is also the reason many companies rewrite code to new framework because they cannot find developers that know how to program in the old framework. Really narrow-minded if you ask me. You just need a good programmer than can easily learn new languages/frameworks. It might take a good programmer a week to learn a new language/framework.
That would be considered a “cute move” and something like that would put Nvidia and some investment bankers in hot water.

Even if they bought a controlling amount of shares in public markets that would be subject to regulation.
I think it depends a lot on the product you are building, but in my option nothing beats Django for rapid development of a website/app. True it doesn't have an answer "in the box" for client side interaction but combined with tools such as htmx and alpine.js you get something very similar to the modern Rails/Hotwire stack. Personally though you can get along way with just vanilla JavaScript.

I think the killer feature of Django is the Admin framework, its so often overlooked when developing a site/app that internal (not user facing) tools are so important. With the Dango Admin you get something incredible with so few lines of code. It's practically a super power.

If you need a little more interactive "SPA" like functionality, throw in Django REST Framework and your preference of front end framework. I would tend to go with Vue as it feels like it's the same sort of "battery's included" framework as Django. You can also easily use it to build smaller components without having to go all in on SPA.

If you are then asked for a Mobile App on top of that I would reach for Ionic/Capacitor, particularly if you already have a (partly) Vue or React based front end. You can then reuse most of your code. Need some native functionality not covered by Capacitor plugins? take a look at brining in NativeScript, it works brilliantly with Capacitor. (If you haven't taken a look at modern Ionic/Capacitor it has come on so far since the Cordova/PhoneGap days)
Hi there!
There is a lot of information about regular expressions on the internet and several great resources like Regex101. Still, sometimes it is always hard for me to choose among all the wide variety of options available. Besides that, since my team develops in multiple languages, it's hard to remember the differences between the APIs and syntax in each of the language. That's why at some point we started to collect the list of most commonly used regular expressions and the code examples of how to use them. Since the list became pretty large we decided to make it public and share it with the dev community. Hope you find it useful and let me know if there are some additional regular expressions you want to see there.
I don't know a single luminary in AI who seriously considers the whole of body approach to their work.

Pretty much everyone talks/reasons specifically only about the brain and never how they work holisitcally sensors and effectors.

For example, in computer vision, all of the biggest work assume the starting point of a 2D (RGB+Grey) matrix as the starting point. They never make any assumption about how that image is generated. Only really in the LIDAR world is the sensor considered, and even then everyone is trying to jam LIDAR return into a 2D matrix.

They probably did what I did — a burner phone with only the contacts they want clubhouse to see.
> Heavier cars mean more tire wear. More tire wear means more pollutants

As if the tiny amount of additional tire wear is going to create as much pollution as burning petrol and keeping the engine lubricated with oil.
I get the idea, but I just fundamentally disagree with it. Writers who don't make efforts to maintain partisan neutrality will inevitably leave major gaps in their readers' understanding of the world, because they won't be able to help readers understand perspectives the writers don't personally agree with.

For a concrete example, there was a recent initiative in my state (California Prop 16) which was reasonably unpopular and ended up losing by a 14 point margin. But most journalists strongly favored it, and reported from that perspective - they didn't want to buy into the "view from nowhere". So a lot of my news-consuming friends had no idea there was honest, well-intentioned opposition to it, and to this day I see people argue the voters must have just been confused.
PC compatibility is either "silly" or a "selling point," but it can't be both.
I’ve been trying to figure out NFTs and I can’t understand why they’re better than just using smart contracts.

I threw together a contract in Solidity that would do all this and cut out the middleman / middlewinkelvii. It wasn’t hard.

What am I missing? Why is the contract not the token?
You could also sell a certificate of authenticity without an artwork, but why would you?
Good question. I assume it depends on how Postgres handles multi-engine transactions, and how it stores replication state metadata. A good discussion of the issue in MySQL/MariaDB is here: https://kristiannielsen.livejournal.com/19223.html

Apparently MariaDB 10.3+ has this solution implemented, which is cool, never knew that before. I don't think there's anything equivalent in MySQL.
This long-awaited arrival throws quite the wrench into the Android v. iOS platform wars.

Google was obviously already on the iPhone (with search, its popular native app, gmail, etc.), but Google Voice is clearly different in that in competes with the core functions of the phone.

What do you guys think the impact of this will be? Could Google use this as a Trojan horse to hook people on GV then try to upsell them to an Android device with better GV integration? Or will it not matter?

Good post Justin.

One thing you didn't touch on: Early employees often join startups to escape from big companies. An ever-increasing headcount can give those people quite a sinking feeling ;)
But all it said was that it's for a non-profit!? Is "caring about non-profit stuff" considered a binary state?

That information wasn't there in case you cared about "non-profit stuff". It was there to serve as shorthand for: don't bother asking about profit-sharing bonuses, go into salary negotiations with lower expectations, assume a lower-stress environment, and so on.
You're ignoring the possibility of taking them over through bankruptcy and covering their potentially system-killing commitments directly. Bailing them out just puts more money in the hands of the people who created the problem in the first place.
Seems to me that Dropbox will have a pretty good asset here a la rapleaf. If they get enough people to voluntarily give them their twitter and facebook IDs, Dropbox will have a very accurate lookup service of email|facebook|twitter -- that's something a lot of companies are after these days.
I work at Dropbox and came up with this page. Thanks for throwing confounding variables in this soft launch experiment, Hacker News.

A few points that might interest yall:

1. We won't publish to facebook or twitter without your explicit permission.

2. We ask for information about your facebook profile because it will make Dropbox better. It's mainly about learning about our users without annoying surveys. We won't mandate facebook connect on signup so this is likely going to be the main path in the near term for people to facebook connect. Facebook auth also makes it really easy to post to facebook when you want to; the user experience is better.

3. Yes, runjake is right. Please do subscribe if you love Dropbox. I work here, so I set my capacity to 5TB and symlink everything important on my system (Desktop, Documents, etc) to Dropbox. The experience of coming to a home computer and having the stuff I was working on just appear is nothing less than magical. This is enabled by having more than a few gigs of storage.

4. If you want terabytes of storage, come work here. It is the best tech company in the valley: http://www.dropbox.com/jobs

Ask me anything.
Hello kind Sers,

I am having the very good pleasure of speaking to you as Head of Wikileaks site for bad information on countries! Our previous Head has been removed for bad touching of females leaving Wikileaks with all his 2,800,000 seekrits but we cannot touch them!

All his seekrits are belong to you because our panel decided your are super most trustworthy of all on teh internets. All you must be doing to access your seekrits is by making donation first of small $10,000.00 and seekrits are in you hard drive!
This is just 2 examples (real-estate, recruitment) of a general commercial rule: trust no-one! Most of the time the interests and motivations of the guy selling you x/y/z are not aligned with yours.
So you will be giving up your citizenship?
One wonders about the people who make $125,001 - $170,000 who are then on the hook for the full tuition (around $45K). They'd find it cost effective to substantially lower their income.

A manager asked a programmer how long it would take him to finish the program on which he was working. ``It will be finished tomorrow,'' the programmer promptly replied.

``I think you are being unrealistic,'' said the manager, ``Truthfully, how long will it take?''

The programmer thought for a moment. ``I have some features that I wish to add. This will take at least two weeks,'' he finally said.

``Even that is too much to expect,'' insisted the manager, ``I will be satisfied if you simply tell me when the program is complete.''

The programmer agreed to this.

Several years later, the manager retired. On the way to his retirement luncheon, he discovered the programmer asleep at his terminal. He had been programming all night.
