Why does it cost money to get BSD licensed? I am not sure -- who actually gets the money from this drive? For fundraising, there certainly isn't a lot of information. I am very ignorant about this particular domain, so please excuse me!
It absolutely is. I'd be interested to hear a counterargument though.
I've added this to my issue list.. thanks for the suggestion!
I liked the game and have never played Wordle, so can't really compare. However, I was stuck on one specific set of words for a long time due to spelling issues. The word I couldn't grok was "armor", whereas my brain would by default only recognise "armour". It'd be a nice small enhancement to state clearly what dictionary was being used for the spellings.
A better solution is one button which both attempts to automatically unsubscribe, and blocks further emails if the list does not respect the user's choice.

Why should I have to do extra work just because MTV is hostile to users? Or because Hallmark's database takes 10 days to update, gamespot's unsubscribe servers are permanently broken, or because some crappy website demands your login info?

the fact that the gen_server is using a gen_fsm and that that requires two processes has little or no effect on the number of simultaneous clients you can have. Unless I am missing something, I am not quite sure why you are drawing that correlation.
Indeed, the linguist Ronald Wardhaugh shows in his historical studies that one of the reasons English has won out over French as a world language is that English makes no attempt to be "pure" but rather adapts to how speakers use it, making it more user-friendly as a second language for speakers around the world.
Is SVN an acronym either though? SubVersioN?
I wonder if they are actually sold and activated? Microsoft has a history of inflating sales numbers. I imagine this may mean that they shipped 1.5 million to the carriers, but most have not been activated. I have seen them on sale at a two for one, which leaves me to believe that they are not selling well and carriers are trying to dump them cheaply.
It has a few grammar errors too, which is never good when telling others how to write.
From Ruby and Python, the benefits are obvious. These languages are much older designs with less sophisticated runtimes. Their relative stagnation is probably one of the factors that allowed Node.js to explode.

From common lisp, Clojure is a very interesting step. It's much more practical and has a modern structure-reduction style that common lisp predates. It also has all the might of the jvm and that strong and community behind it; the comprehensive std lib that was common lisp's original advantage now looks small and dated in comparison.

As for Haskell, a similar situation exists with Scala. Haskell will continue to be an interesting platform, but the huge amount of work to adopt many of these concepts to the jvm and an object-oriented world have a lot to offer people.

The other hidden benefit is that the jvm can be a new common platform, with java as the new "C glue" layer. You can realistically write a library in Clojure and have it a client to Scala code, which runs critical services inside a JRuby rails app.

So yes, the jvm language community is coming together with big value propositions quickly. They're beginnig to coalesce in a way the CLR family of languages never really has.

P.S., All the languages named here have value and interest and a lot of hard work in them. I have my current set of preferences and opinions on what I'd like to work in, but I don't want to imply any derision towards any of them.
"Made for OSX 10.10 Yosemite"

Into the trash it goes...
While this might be true, for clarification on my original question I'm not actually that interested in the 'whole picture' analysis of (income - expenditure).

In the UK rural property is generally more expensive in addition to being remote. But then, our urban/semi-urban housing doesn't really resemble suburbia in the same way. Streets with detached homes, large drive, etcetera are relatively rare - more common would be semi-detached.

(This post has me wanting to visit the US now... all of my knowledge is gleaned from photos and hanging around American folk online, heh)

I mean; it sounds to me that a few years salary could enable you to live out in the sticks and 'retire' for a long time, if not indefinitely. That sort of thing would be impossible in the UK; ex-social housing in a run down town is probably your best bet.

It might be that I'm framing things wrongly simply because housing (and property tax) is so expensive here. All other expenses are practically negligible in comparison. $3-4000 a year could buy you basic food, utilities, and a computer to hack away on.
I think parent and grandparent posts both have somewhat valid if overstated points, but have improperly used "left-wing" and "right-wing" in place of "pro-censorship" and "anti-censorship".

Pro-censorship arguments can come from the right (and often do), and anti-censorship arguments in favor or personal choice driving availability can come from the left (and often do.)

Usually, there's slightly different subject matter that left- and right-wing pro-censorship folks target, though sexualized images of women tend to be targeted by both, though with different rationales.
I believe it's not about between magical in the general case, but about how you specify dependencies between services, an area where systemd and upstart work differently.

See the 'On Upstart' section here [1].

Wouldn't it be significantly less than a MB for all the info about "how does Uber work at this airport" info to come in json or whatever? It could surely survive without downloading special airport-specific media like logos, do the airport rules require complicated heavy code on the phone?

Thinking of my experience with Uber at airports, it's generally stuff like "pickups from this terminal are only available at the west exit" (show on map - so needs coordinates and message text), or "There is a £10 airport pickup fee for all private hire vehicles here which will be added to your bill", or whatever along those lines.

But perhaps your point still stands even if it's KBs rather than MBs.
Mate.. how are you going to get your uber anyway without internet?
I don't think they're doing chunked encoding. I think they're making their template engine emit a stream instead of emitting the rendered page. Then, each time the template system has some text to send, it's written to the network rather than accumulated in a buffer that's all written at once.

The innovation is not what headers to send, it's to produce your data incrementally instead of all at once.

The ADA does not give compliance exemptions to contractors employed by a company.

Uber doesn't want their drivers classified as employees because it would cost them a lot of money in benefits and possibly back-pay.
> This would be regressive, though. Why not tax the individual via a progressive cap gains tax?

How would it be regressive? According to Wikipedia[0], most corporate tax rates are proportional (i.e. "flat"). Just replace that with an equivalent rate on payout of dividends. Capital gains tax for the recipient is an entirely separate question.

> If a company can't think of a good use for their profits, do we really want to force them to keep the money within the organization?

In such situations they can pay dividends of course, which are taxed in my proposal. The point is that there is no point in buying back stocks instead of paying dividends.

Why would it lead to a new world order?
Presumably then it would be non-violating to have many paid accounts? Sure is pricey for smaller operations but depending on the value it brings to have this more granular scoping it surely might be worth it?

Doesn't remove their need to implement a more reasonable way of scoping tokens, though.
Yes, I have done so (I have since resubscribed). I believe it required an email, or at least some weird looking portal. Not as easy as it could be, but certaintly not a call to customer service.
I'm trying to think through the ways this could be cheated. For example, if I own a business then instead of paying myself and then donating to a 527 political issue group I could instead have my business donate to the 527. Since the 527 is tax exempt that money never got taxed, but if I had to take the money as income first I'd have to pay income taxes. I'm sure there's other ways to take advantage of a zero percent corporate tax, or indeed even the lower-than-personal corporate tax rate already in place.
I don't know about that. The issue at hand there isn't implementation of APIs, it's using an existing API (run on existing infrastructure) in a way that the social media company does not approve of. Isn't that more an issue of unauthorized access than of copyright?
What I like most about the Economist - the obituaries. Each one is about a person who I hadn't heard of before, but after reading it I wish I had.

Sometimes it's the story of an unsung hero, whose life story shines a new perspective on an event we're aware of. For example, the recent obituary of Nikolai Antoshkin, the general who led the response to the Chernobyl reactor.

Other times, it's an ordinary person who lived their life in an ordinary way. But in the wider context, their lives have extraordinary meaning. I'm reminded of the obituary of the last speaker of the Eyak language, which was as much an obituary for the language as it was for them.

OP talks a lot about the style and how they keep it simple, but there is so much beauty in that simplicity.
But companies can? They are Schrodinger's publisher depending on who opens the box.

More to the point, so anyone can have a soapbox, but that soapbox will be kicked from under you in the form of hackers, ddos, and so on unless you use those tools. What is the next advice? Build your own Cloudflare? Your own ISP? It is madness and leaves us exactly where we are now.

You can't tell me everyone can have a soapbox if the soapbox is only theoretical in nature and in production deployment does not survive a day.

Edit: snarky comment removed.
Perhaps it wasn’t their own mental model of the landscape at all, but just what they considered to be the most expedient way of getting the message across in terms customers would understand.

Hypothetical analogy: if I were describing my very-first-ever PaaS service, to competitors who’d only ever heard of IaaS services — and this wasn’t the point of the conversation (i.e. I wasn’t trying to sell them on the benefits of PaaS), but rather just a supporting statement to talking about how we do/don’t offer an IaaS feature, because we’re a PaaS — then I’d probably describe my PaaS by analogy to some popular IaaS that has a feature-set closest to a PaaS.

In my own mental model, I have a separate node for “PaaS”; but if I know that the people I’m communicating with don’t — and teaching them what a PaaS is would take time away from the real topic we’re trying to focus on — then I’m going to describe my PaaS provider as “basically like $foo IaaS provider” when talking about how it has the same feature X. To them.
If the recruiter replied and said as much I would have been ok with that. At least they were communicating. Plus covid didn’t effect the US big time until March. That’s all of Jan + Feb they had to let me know something was going on.
The article needs to compare against salaries in general to distinguish changes in developer salaries from other trends.
I was going to suggest the ACM (acm.org). Camaraderie at meetings and events, plus an incredible knowledge base for professional development.
No problem!

The COVID vaccine was an achievement, without a doubt, but i still think we need time to see how effective it will be as the virus mutates and make sure there are no long term side affects. If the vaccines achieve herd immunity ends the pandemic then history will be very kind to it and the scientists that created it.

One thought is the actual creating of the vaccine must have been considerable less complicated than the atom bombs if it was really created in one day.
> Not only that. The countries that are capable of rejecting the ideology of individualism, like China, have actually much better track record in beating it.

Oh we all know that data coming from China is super reliable, right? After all, they never lied about the Wuhan fatalities in the first place.
I'm afraid I don't have the wherewithal to do this in the Bourne shell! An explicit call stack using those globals is a neat idea. Generally the [[ =~ ]] construct is my go-to for string parsing. Can you do everything you need with parameter expansion and string globbing alone (without turning on "extglob" swince that would be cheating)? Finally, is your encoder/decoder posted online?

I'll reiterate what I've said twice already: I'm talking about people using this argument to oppose (or at least refuse to support) allowing gay people to marry members of the same sex.

You're welcome to point it out, but I sure don't see any such argument made by Graff in this interview.
Other side of the planet, but I've had my plan rate-achanged accidentally and it really did take severla levels of technical support (although the problem was recognized, nobodoy could solve it) to fix it -there turned out ot be only one or two guys in teh country who could actually figure out how to untagle the mess they'd created.
Is MovieOS like OSX? Does it come on proprietary hardware that includes a project in place of a screen, to beam the contents of the screen onto your face? Or do I have to rig up my own monitor/projector setup?
This is all true, but you are merely describing different symptoms of a common illness.

The illness is that some people choose to initiate force against others. Every single human being should refrain from such behavior. All interactions among individuals should be by mutual consent, or not at all.

Unfortunately that simple moral principle has deep implications which most people are not willing to accept. And so the nightmare continues.
Need I point out the irony of an authentication site containing an XSS attack?

Login Name: " onfocus="alert(1)" foo="

Submit form. Get error. Click input box again. XSS. Now, if I was an attacker, I would create a form which does this by myself and then post to that URL to get that javascript there when they visit the page, so as soon as they click the username it runs my JS.

Edit: This is on the create-an-account form.

Being kidnapped, flown to a prison for five months and possibly tortured, possibly sodomized is more than a "mistake."

And merely admitting to having committed a human rights violation is not a substitute for following due process of law. Threatening a country with "implications" for wanting to bring the people to justice who wrongfully detained one of their citizens does not make the United States look good.

Plus there are other examples, like Hilary Clinton ordering diplomats to collect private information on the U.N. Secretary General, which was likely a violation of international law. This does not make the U.S. look good.

#1 - Yes, Authentication, Emails, forms etc will be all done with ease.

#2 - We don't intend to target the dev community. We're more towards people who have no idea how web works.

#3 - You can git clone the repo and make changes either to the UI or the business logic. So, in a way you're not restricted to the product. You can make CloudBoost.io do all the mundane tasks for you - and then git clone the repo - and make changes.

We're working hard to make sure its so flexible that you wont even need to git clone the repo - but it'll take time to mature over time.
But was it really cheating? Some students have pointed out that the professor said repeatedly that he composed the tests himself. Given that, then plausibly, using example tests from other sources would be a legitimate preparation method. (For example, the SAT doesn't penalize people for reviewing lots of practice tests, because it's assumed the actual questions during a real test will be novel.)

See:

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101118/21485811928/200-st...

Now, it was probably common knowledge from prior semesters that this professor's exams were from the standard test bank. So those reviewing test bank questions may not have had pure motives in their study strategy. But it makes it less cut-and-dried, especially given that the students may have memorized (for example) 5 answers to potential questions for every 1 that happened to appear on the test. At some point, knowing all the answers to all potential questions is knowing the material... or else the whole idea of formulaic tests is bankrupt.
TV's are commodities. There's no important difference from one brand to another. Moleskines, by merit of their unique design and brand identity, are in a different boat.
I don't know details, but I'm pretty sure that only applies if you're seeking citizenship. Also, at older ages, the amount of service you have to do goes down considerably.
The FairTax as I have heard it advocated included a huge annual transfer payment to redress the highly regressive aspect of all consumption taxes. (If you are poor, you consume 100% or more of income, resulting in paying taxes on all of it. Richer individuals consume a fraction of their income, thus paying a much lower overall rate.) It would instantly be the most extensive wealth transfer program in the world.
I think getting questions from a third party exam bank to write your tests should be just as frowned upon as getting answers from the same bank to complete them. Am I being unrealistic to think that, if this guy's been teaching a course that hasn't changed over the last 5 years, he should be able to write a new midterm each semester?
This article seems like bull shit. I mean, have you been to Woodside?
Basically, any statically typed language with parametric polymorphism, so Ada, C++, Java, C#, Rust, TypeScript, Python with static-typing support, post-Delphi Pascal, and recently Go all qualify.

What the author did not consider is whether consumers are willing to buy a phone which does not have Google's apps installed or at least available (tight GMail integration, maps, etc.).
How does this work out if you believe you are significantly under-compensated at your current job (assuming it's the peak for the last five years)?
Paul's reputation for submitting legislation that gets ignored by congress is much older than Reddit. For better or worse, Ron Paul has always represented an agenda that is unpopular in congress and he has always voted with that agenda in mind. He is not prone to compromise.

He's actually gotten into a much stronger position of late than he has been in past.
It's disingenuous until the day Apple decides your phone has reached EOL without your consent, ro the da, you know, you want to use anything that's not iTunes to sync data.
I agree except for your very last statement. Its more then an issue of Americans spending time with the TSA its about privacy. This is a backlash against all of the privacy concerns people have against new technology, it just happens that this technology has easy to see consequences.
I would love to see chat be a shameless ripoff of StackOverflow. I'd also rather see it directly integrated on the main page for the network, possibly stacking posts and files vertically so chat can have space. File uploading could stand to be integrated in the main page too.

Voting on posts seems somewhat strange (also strange that it isn't integrated in the main page), but I may have different use cases in mind than you do. In fact, that would be a good thing to point out on the site, what do you have in mind for possible use cases?

My idea is that this would be shared by people who know each other in real life. Voting on a friend's contribution seems strange.

Another really cool feature would be the ability to share a network with simply a private URL, no need for other members to sign up if they don't want to. Each user can get their own private URL which ties them back to the email address they were invited on so you know who's who.

If you ever want to talk in more detail about this (like after the HN story falls into obscurity), feel free to contact me at the email address cryptically listed in my profile.
This argument makes sense to me in a public space, like twitter. But among a close knit group of friends? Not one bit. They are directly advertising this as a space built for "friends", not influencers. Having to time-filter your friends sounds like a really negative friendship dynamic.
If you're paying users to scrape, how do you ensure that they are indeed scraping and not just making up spam? You've got a catch-22 here - you need people to scrape but at the same time you need an authoritative source of the scraped data to ensure people aren't cheating, but then if you've got that source then you don't need those people to begin with.

Interaction with the real-world (outside the blockchain) is where the vast majority of these bullshitchain projects fall apart.

For that to be true in individual cases you'd have to come up with some pretty hard evidence that a sale would indeed have been consummated.

In the case of the pirate bay the quantity is so large that some aggregate effect can be postulated without stretching credulity, and I think that is the major reason why this judgment sticks even if there is not a single item of hard proof of any lost sale directly caused by the pirate bay.
Freenet has serious speed issues to resolve before anything like it would be viable.
I like it very creative. It should ripple when you strike the bottom.
Great answer. If I could, I would upvote it twice.

The most successful people (despite this being subjective) I ever met were always people whose priority is communication.

Making a bit of self analysis, my most sucessful times always happened when communication was in the top of my priorities.
While I believe Mac OS X has had some resolution independence since at least 10.5, I believe as of today it's still "not ready", and to say it's been there since the beginning is a bit of a misdirection. It's a work in progress.

Having said that, I'm really glad iPhone 4 is taking this direction of clarity over "you can shove more stuff on screen". Imagine if you really had all the pixels for your interface: trying to read or (more importantly) tap on something would be nearly impossible unless it was blown up anyway. Looking forward to new screens like these in all devices.
Heck yes. patrick@ any of my domains if you want to talk about this.

The way this would work in our household is that the fat one would jostle the skinny one out of the way.

And thus, the fat get fatter.
