I don't know. There's something to be said about profiting off your work while you are alive. Corporations on the other hand, are an odd beast since they can have long lifespans where the rights can be transferred easily to a new organization, and the cycle continues.

I do believe it's generally good for innovation to let copyrights expire.
Or something even simpler, like the line-based structure of IRC and MSNP; but you're right, it doesn't need to be XML to be extensible.
You might be right. I suppose I did what I did for some what selfish reasons. I should have just shut my yapper and let the timid and ignorant coworkers continue on or I should have told them, caused serious issues with the company I was just hired at and job back into the job search in a town with some but limited opportunities.

One of the gentlemen ended up leaving with in a year. I had been asking him to fill out a self performance assessment so I could get him a hefty raise. The other guy is quite timid, somewhat immature, and socially inept... I suppose he was getting paid what he and his personality deserves. No?

Or I could have gone about righting the ship rather than throwing all the weight on one side and sinking it... causing not only the two underpaid guys to lose their jobs but also the rest of the dozen employees. Which would be the more appropriate move in your opinion?
This article breeds uncertainty, without bringing a solution, or even a path, to the table. The references and language used, speak rather clearly that the author is part of the informal "independent research community", ie. conspiracy theorist (which unfortunately I had to acquaint myself with, because of family reasons).

While I'm open for convincing, I'll chalk it up as FUD until convinced otherwise.
> Pictures are an intellectual property of the author, if a person wants other people to spread them, he/she needs to explicitly set the allowing license.

It's more complicated than that. What actions require a license? Nobody needs a license to create a hyperlink. The concept of a "link license" was a big subject of debate in the 1990s, but after much hand-wringing and heated discussion, we converged on a permissionless model for hyperlinking on the web. I think everyone here understands the high value of frictionless linking.

Now let's suppose for the sake of argument (and without loss of generality) that this foot fetish site were just a list of hyperlinks to publicly available foot pictures in their original context. I suspect the author of the article (and a lot of other people) would still be squicked out by the foot-fetishist link-aggregator site. But what could be done about it? Permissioneless linking is a huge boon for the web and humanity. Should we add friction to linking just because foot fetish sites exist?

Okay --- what if it's not linking, but actual photo embedding? Still, we'd need to examine the costs and benefits. Embedding public content in another context is great for commentary, synthesis, and other creative transformations. People love to showcase hard work and beauty. Should we add friction to photo embeds everywhere just because some squicky foot fetishists use embeds to aggregate images? Again, it doesn't seem worth it.

Ultimately, we have to learn to let things go. There will always be people in the world who use public things in a "wrong" way: a politician you don't like may use your favorite song in a campaign; a company might use your open source library to make a product you'd prefer not to exist; or public property records might let speculators arbitrage prices in a way that seems unfair. But whenever we're tempted to Do Something about people using the public thing in the wrong way, we have to think "is this Doing Something going to be net positive? What about the value of the commons itself? Am I willing to destroy that just to Do Something about this one thing?" Most of the time, the answer is "no".
That's not a loss; it's just not an opportunity to double dip. The buyer still bought the seat. There's just nobody in it.
It looks super cool. I actually just started working on a similar app. What did you use to make it?
I find the way that is expressed so awesome.
Do ipads or other competitors come with keyboards, pens, covers?
Seems they are right in the market then doesn't it?
Won't they just run twice as many for half-days each?
Hey, I resemble that remark!. But seriously I'm specifically thinking of the state governments of Florida and Texas as being two of the worst. Both in terms of poor government and their impact on the nation as a whole. I don't think it's an unreasonable point of view either when you see the reactions of even Fortune 500 companies to the nonsense in Georgia.
Do we need TDD for particle physics so CI could run tests on what experiments break when merging a theory

This is the bug! What you want in stead is do something you actually care about or presents puzzles that you find interesting.

That's why their name is Schiit Audio, not Shit Audio. It all part of their cunning marketing plan.
Assuming that you can create value of 11 or more with that 100, someone can exchange 11 of their future / current / past effort (with money), (s)he pays you, you pay your debt, and you now have 1 or more to be at the other side of the transaction.

Unless you state that all value in the world is fixed, a zero sum game, that argument of the "Money as debt" documentary doesn't really hold water.
If you're using screen/tmux as myself, tail -f remains a good option, as you can enter gaps or search, or do 1000 more things as compared to plain terminal session
I stumbled across this in a high school magazine left in a youth hostel in Maroochydore, Queensland in 1986, and have never seen another reference to it since. It's attribution was 'anonymous', and googling key lines bring up nothing.

I've always liked it, and posting it here might give it some longevity beyond that of my hard drive.

Running on the front line
Leading the way to uncertainty.
With the shadow of a dream to guide you,
Following a gleaming ray
Picked from another’s closed mind.
Why will you lead the way while
Others show no taste for adventure?
Alone and self-exiled
In the midst of a crowd
Something not quite a thought flickers and is gone
Leaving just enough to tell it came
But not enough to remember.
Somehow it is connected
To what you don’t know
But must find out.
Go forward, relish the unusual,
And question the normal.
Push yourself always to the edge
And the edge will move with you.
A blur of consciousness, knowledge,
Experience, prediction, guesses and lies
The elusive unknown and
The excitingly uncertain.

White, black or otherwise, you are quite susceptible to the tyranny of the police state [1]. The young man in that link was murdered in cold blood because he pissed off a cop. It was premeditated. The cop is still working actively on the force with zero repercussions.

Cops have a license to kill with impunity. The race hysteria is used, ironically, to maintain the status quo via the clever bit of propaganda that "white" people are not at risk. Statistically, "whites" are less at risk, but only because they happen to be the richest demographic. As the article I've linked shows, the cops go after the weak and helpless, regardless of race or creed [2].

My wife is a transportation planner with ~10 years' experience working with city and regional governments all over the US.

As she has explained to me, urban planning (esp. in denser cities) is very much about increasing density, improving transportation options (e.g., walk/bike/transit), and ensuring neighborhood access to essential services (groceries, medical care, etc.). Equity is a huge concern for most planners as well.

The problem isn't so much "improving urban planning" as "making elected officials and taxpayers listen to what the planners are saying".
I will never understand why pure statements of fact get downvoted on this site.

At the time I looked, 4 hours ago now, this was correct.
That's a poor equivalence.

1) The content of calls is not pushed to a dashboard mixed in with things you want to hear algorithmically. This core discovery feature of Twitter means that the content of the messages from people you are not subscribed to must meet some basic criteria of acceptability, or no one would use it.

2) We had common-carrier status applied to ISPs for a few short years before Ajit Pai got that rolled back for Verizon. You might have been able to extend that logic to Twitter and then I could see that as a fair comparison if that was how they were operating. But Twitter would never acquiesce to such an onerous mandate and would lobby hard against it.
I wont change your mind, but maybe we can share more nuanced reasons for the modern issue -

I'll argue, strongly everything regarding Social Media/ misinformation / content security is an epiphenomena of : the shape, rate and self forming nature of modern human communication networks.

The pace of interaction and information has simply overwhelmed the ability of human one on one interaction.

Most of our actions are with a mobile phone near us, meaning that the social sphere is directly with us and only a twitter/FB/Reddit/HN glance away.

Doesn't help that the sites need to be competitively addictive to be financially viable.

So no matter how much you interact on a 1 on 1 basis, a few seconds after they return to their phone they are part of the new outrage cycle.

Do note that the whole thing above is doable with cable television news as well.

So you can, for a little bit, look at the network structure and pace, while looking at humans as connected processing hubs that are getting compromised.

not necessarily a dumb question.

as I see it, it's an open cpu, and does not require licensing fees. a huge amount of devices ship with arm cortex devices, each one low power and with money going back to arm for the licenses. risc-v provides for an open system that is performant and free of license fees.
One thing is clear: the "Stop The Steal" crowd was clearly radicalized into something openly violent and seditious. Mainstream news outlets that actively encouraged this violence must be shut down.

I think younger demographics are an overhyped fad, tech companies are just becoming long arms of the financial sector
It's not absurd, but there is a lot of hypocrisy surrounding the British Raj especially with regards to how concerned they were with the welfare of the Indian subjects. There were a lot of good British administrators who were benevolent, and fond of India. And the legal system is a boon. But there were large patches of plain greed couched in philanthropic terms. A favorite quote of mine is George Orwell quoting E. M. Forster "Again, he [Gandhi] seems to have been quite free from that maniacal suspiciousness which, as E. M. Forster rightly says in A Passage to India, is the besetting Indian vice, as hypocrisy is the British vice." [1]

Little about this seems egalitarian. Had this been a normal persons account it would have been banned ages ago. As practically proven by accounts that mirrored his tweets and did get banned (fast).
I am very much not at all familiar with Pakistan or any area outside of "the west", but I think a lot of business is done a lot more ad hoc and informal elsewhere compared to my cultural background. Things like haggling about a price or tipping are mostly foreign concepts to me, whereas they're both normal elsewhere in the world.

On the other hand, we have bitterballen, snert and gezelligheid.

As far as I understand, because of GDPR, the sharing of data between Facebook companies is limited. This is different from the US terms.
Unrelated observation of the webpage, but the header/nav overlaps the scroll bar in chrome. I've tried messing with the css and I've no idea how this is achieved.

Sounds like you handled it as well as possible. I remember one time had to let someone go that I'd recruited away from another pretty decent job - that was one of the most gut-wrenching things I've had to do in business.

I actually kept him on and let it drag out three months without him producing anything because I couldn't get up the nerve to face the fact I'd made a mistake. Not just a mistake, but a mistake that would screw someone else's life up that I respected and liked.

It all worked out well - he's becoming a doctor at one of the top English schools now, so I wish I'd done it earlier so he could have gotten on with his life, and I'd have had a lot less stress and my business would have done better. Wavering on it made him dead man walking for three months, and cost me personally $10,000+, more if you count opportunity cost, much more if you count stress. So I gotta say you handled that the best possible way, even though that situation is always hard and always sucks. Someone who hasn't managed people probably can't understand how hard it is to let someone go and do it decently. Sounds like you did right by her in the best way for that situation.
Your comments contained good information and points (fine) mixed in with swipes and flamewar (not fine), e.g. "OK, so you don't like it. That's definitive." and "I'll leave it to the reader to decide who has been the snarky one in this convo." are tit-for-tat flamewar and "I'm done with you." is personally rude.
The more leverage you have as an individual, the less relevant a union is for you.
There are a few people who use a car rarely enough that a taxi is cheaper than owning, and if self driving cars eliminate the driver and thus drive down costs a few more people will join that number. However these people generally live someplace where local public transit is good, and parking is expensive.

For the vast majority of suburb dwellers, buying a car will be more cost effective. Most of the costs are the same either way, but you have no need for a profit margin, and you don't pay as much fuel (electrons are still fuel!) to run around empty getting to the next passenger. By owning your own car you can in turn leave your stuff in it just in case. By owning your car you ensure it is there when you want to go as opposed to waiting for one to arrive.
I suppose that is fair, though I still think the skillset is a valuable and marketable skill worth noting you have. I work in an environment that has both IBM mainframe and modern technologies, and familiarity with both would presumably count as an asset.
This stuff is very nuanced, especially when the stakes are high.

SCOTUS rules on the legal and fundamental matter, not the subject. So if the attorneys for one side or the other are able to manipulate the judge into making a weak ruling (even one not in their favor), the appeals courts rulings will be impacted. In this case, the trial judge went above and beyond to avoid that kind of bullshit.
This is not about "helping". This is about illegal discrimination. When you open a service to the public then you can't refuse it to someone on the basis of their disability. (Or race, or gender, or sexual orientation.)
Quite a few countries do that as well not just the UK.

I suspect they were just interested in interrogating Gwern for what he knew about some of the market operators and various schemes related to them.

It's possible they might've planned to use some of his drug purchases and position in the community as leverage to get him to talk, but I strongly doubt they're interested in prosecuting him.
It's hard not to laugh when making the video. I can't wait until I get the results.
It's not incidental -- choice of language has a massive impact on your developers' day-to-day experience as a human being, and many of the best programmers will find themselves incredibly frustrated by using a language like PHP (not because of ego but because PHP has properties which makes it frustrating to work with).

Of course, from a certain mindset I suppose anyone unwilling to sacrifice their happiness on the altar of your corporation's profit might be dubious... the question then becomes whether this affects recruitment and retention, and if so, whether you can still accomplish the things you want with mediocre talent and high turnover...
The reason this is important to discuss is that Roundup is out there, in massive quantities, and if it is determined that it can cause cancer in much higher rates than previously expected - then something must be done about it, because of the sheer magnitude of the market penetration of this product. If it is discovered that Roundup-poisoned regions have extraordinarily high rates of cancer - and this is yet to be determined - then there is indeed an industry- and culture- changing event on the horizon.

We don't get to that horizon unless we discuss the issues - so why are you attempting to thwart discussion of this issue by people who are intelligent enough to understand the science behind the conundrum?
More like "just because it's done by someone you don't like, doesn't mean it's wrong". Blame Monsanto for the evil things they do (there's plenty), but not everything else.

Your argument is almost literally "Stalin believed 2+2=4, therefore 2+2 is 5".
Could you indicate somewhere that it is comedy (although there are some good points about stereotyping buried in the crudities)?

Otherwise this looks like you're angrily using crude and offensive language.

That perspective sounds a bit male. Women do give up most of their career perspectives up when deciding to raise children. And part of that even applies to women who don't ever want children, just because employers assume they COULD get pregnant at some point.

At least some bias in favor of mothers should be "fair". And keep in mind, it should not be male singles who decide what is and isn't fair in divorce law...
I did. It doesn't really defend or accuse Roundup, it just gives a bunch of quotes from both sides. And that's ok.

My issue is that there's no attempt at specifying the significance of the problem. Saying "it (maybe) causes cancer" doesn't say absolutely anything about how dangerous it actually is - both in absolute terms and relative to alternatives.

I think that "X causes cancer" articles should be considered harmful.
The remote pilots fly the unmanned drones which aren't a big loss when something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong there too, just it's not a big loss and nobody reports that. "One drone crashed instead of flying around, so what? That's why they are unmanned and cheap, that's why we use them actually."

How can smart, ambitious people stay working in an area where they have no long term ambitions?

The answer, of course, is money.

But Dixon prefers to camp out on algorithms and behavioural science rather than providing the simple answer, and if you read between the lines (and you're familiar with the startup scene, VC, and suppressed developer wages by collusion + H-1B visas + "talent shortage") it's not hard to figure out why.
I retract my earlier comment, this is cheesy at best Intel. Sad. Still kowtowing to the Gates regime.
I find this fragment really insightful. Seems like it's a common mistake in a lot of domains.

"Over the last fifteen years or so, many police agencies started capturing data on police interactions. The primary purpose was to document what had historically been undocumented: informal street contacts. By capturing specific data, we were able to ask ourselves tough questions about potentially biased-policing. Many agencies are still struggling with the answers to those questions.

Regardless, the data permitted us to detect problematic patterns, commonly referred to as passive discrimination. This is a type of discrimination that occurs when we are not aware of how our own biases affect our decisions. This kind of bias must be called to our attention, and there must be accountability to correct it."
Even if you think it's fair game for students to have access to the test bank, at the point where they started to take the test and realized "uh-oh, I've seen every one of these questions before," they should have gone forward and admitted that they'd previously seen this material.

I agree that it's arguable before the fact that using the test bank is just studying. Once the students realized that they'd effectively gotten an advance copy of the test, deciding to benefit from it rather than admit it was unethical.

Another commenter here has already voiced the question about how so many HN commenters are apparently pro-cheating; I'll admit it's somewhat shocking to me as well. There is a (probably minority) group here that seems anti-higher education (or, said more fairly, anti-the present envisagement of higher education); is it possible that it's this bias showing through?
Who are you to say what conclusions can or cannot be drawn between a persons name and a list of URLs they chose to read? I can think of many, undesirable and potentially erroneous conclusions that could be made.
That's pretty horrible. I must admit that I haven't "upgraded" to the new version of Mesh yet, due to concerns with it. First, it's not really Mesh -- it's Sync, with a name change. Second, the original Mesh was architected by Abolade Gbadegesin, probably one of the best architects in the industry you haven't heard of (and now an architect on WP7). I don't know who did Sync/Mesh.

I do wonder what would cause such an issue. You'd think that simple timestamps would catch this issue. I wonder if the original poster changed his clock to match the time for this Ignite conference and that screwed everythign up?
I'm curious about this too. I've been toying with starting an ad network in my niche as well, but I'm still not sure if I want to head in that direction because I don't know enough about the process.
