When you use the word "stealing" to describe anything other than shoplifting or burglary it instantly starts endless conflicts with each party with it's own definition of what is stealing based on their own definition of what is property and so on.

I would like to describe the situation as cheating in the game without trying to going down into the rabbit hole that the digital goods opened(or expanded, since before the digital era we already had goods that are valuable other than it's material and building value. Books, Paintings, Designs, Blueprints and more).

So, you are producing something with intention to gain money or maybe just reputation but often you already use other peoples work to do that - nothing is made out out of thin air.

Then somebody is building some other product with some intention like making money, gaining reputation or something else and his product is using your product and maybe many other people's products. Let's say a website with AI that awesomely curates the content of other people.

In this situation everybody produced a valuable product but the other guys product's success is on your expense.

Ideally you would have an arrangement where everybody wins.
I will give an example from the movies and music industries:

a)When you have the arraignment it's iTunes store.
b)When you don't have one, it's the Prate Bay.

or Defense industries:

a) When you have a contract it's joint venture and you exchange some information to build some product.
b) When you don't have one and you spy on each other to create similar product its espionage.

or personal relationships:

a) When a couple are also seeing other people with the consent of the other one, it's open relationship
b) If there is no consent, it's called cheating.

It's not about stealing, it's about managing the resources in coordination with other parties so that everybody wins. Otherwise often one party wins in expense of the other, many time everybody loses in the long run.
Now I get it. I was not sure where you were going with this.
I got what you mean the second time I went through both of the texts, my bad. I thought HTTP2.0 was about always-on TLS layer, which is false so. And to be fair, reading the draft is kinda hard to understand the exact meaning, especially since they added the 6th paragraph (posted above), which in this case doesn't really make sense. If the connection is non-encrypted anyway, why ask the user a permission to tunnel the connection through TLS?

ps. I really did read them both, I just tend to be a little strong-opinionated.
Yeah at the top of Mt. Baldy we discovered a group of Georgian Scouts huddled shivering under their space blankets in a rock grotto. Meanwhile our Scouts (from Iowa) took off their coats and shirts and ran around like wild men. All about what you're used to!
It seems quite human readable, but please be more specific if there are aspects you think I misunderstood.

I feel you mischaracterise my GP comment though, it talked about different kinds of minimalism and said this is one valid kind.
I've used more component-based frameworks like Bootstrap before, but I've found it's easier to have a set of utilities and build my own components on top of that.
Only if you totally ignore the taxes that Amazon does pay and focus entirely on the taxes they do not owe.
Ding ding ding. It's amazing the number of people who think that private property is this "natural right" and then goverment comes and "steals" part of it, when in fact the institution of private property and its enforcement is precisely what the state does, without which your company wouldn't exist! This means courts, legislature, law enforcement, an army. Even more generally: your company ultimately only exists because the country provides you with a stable environment and millions of well-fed people with money kn their pockets to spend at your company.

So you actually have a lot to pay society/the state back for! I'm very partial to a georgist/mandatory public shares approach because of this.
For anyone interested in food and technology, my company[1] builds quality control tools for craft producers. We use machine learning and data science to help producers refine their production process and understand what specific populations and demographics like and dislike about the flavor profile.

I expect a lot of companies just don't really know how things are going to play out right now. So, unless you know that a position can be 100% remote for all time, the conservative thing to do is to basically say "You're going to have to live somewhere that allows you to commute in a couple of days a week." You don't want to put yourself in a position where you've told someone they can live anywhere in the country they want and then, in nine months, tell them "Just kidding. You need to move to London."
node.js totally kills this for me (and I bet a lot of other folks). I want nothing to do with that ecosystem (which would be a reason for using Smalltalk on the frontend) and it's (afaik) a hard dependency for Amber.

They certainly don't make it easy not to use it.
Armenians are a very enterprising, hard-working lot, I live in predominantly Armenian-American, Belmont Mass. and love them for their work-ethic and spirit.

I think Armenia's best bet for future is its brainpower - it should invest in education, technology and become an economic powerhouse - like a Taiwan or Singapore of the caucasus. I know it's easier said than done, but knowing the Armenian mind, it is feasible and perhaps its best bet given the complex geopolitics over there.
Think the programming talent pool is increasingly getting split into run-of-the-mill and superstar developers.

The location based pay argument depends on if you're an average or superstar employee.

Average employees (e.g. building CRUD websites) will get location based pay because that's what the market dictates.

Superstar employees, people that are unique on the global scale, will get superstar pay, regardless of location. In the Spark world, there are few people that are able to understand the source code, optimize Catalyst plans, write huge data processing pipelines, etc. These types of employees won't see location pay adjustments.

Basecamp pays superstar rates for superstar employees.

Factory workers that perform "routine functions" earn location based wages.
Isn't that a risk for every writer, not just a practicing psychiatrist?
Maybe you'll find the first commit instructive: https://github.com/GTAmodding/re3/tree/600bf0351476a5a21aabb...

We were very lucky that we had symbols for global things, which inludes function names and signatures but not return types.
We then replaced the first instruction of a function with a jump to our own. global variables can be done with a reference to a raw address. virtual methods are a bit of a challenge but we found way to handle them.
I am building https://www.jigdev.com

It’s a javascript application shell that I mostly wrote to replace spreadsheets where I work.

Still in progress, but I really am proud of it. Nobody else seems to find it useful though. sigh
I'm not impressed with the article. This part in particular seems lacking in perspective:

> Traitorware is not some science-fiction vision of the future. It is the present. Indeed, the Sony rootkit dates back to 2005.

We're firmly in science-fiction territory and most everyone who would pay attention to this article knows it.

This reminds me of when the EFF pleaded with its audience not to buy an iPad. What good is a boycott by sympathetic developers going to do? Keep them from making web apps work well on the iPad, and giving developers tasked with building a business app that works well on an iPad a choice to keep using an open platform?
Can you clarify? This seems to be exactly my point.
LoL @ U

Instead of reading HN you should watch Fox News. No quotes of stupid ppl like Lenin and Trotsky there...
Cranks have moving parts, and thus are more likely to break and need service. Additionally, those little combo flashlights (I have one too, I love them) have a very small solar panel. Notice the solar panel in the photo is at least as large as an 8.5x11 sheet of paper- I'm sure it produces much more current.
I've heard of trucks being equipped with black boxes to ensure that employees aren't slacking off on the job, but that's the 1st I've heard about cars. Wouldn't surprise me though.
Solar power is a function of area. If you are comparing a small cell, say one that fits on a flashlight, to a small generator that fits in the same flashlight, then there will not be much solar power available.

If you are expand your solar cell to a square meter then you will make more power than an "in shape" cyclist can sustain for an hour (200 watts).

Rules of thumb:

• 1 square meter in full noontime sun gets about 1000 watts of sunlight.

• Solar panels are about 20% efficient, so 200 watts per square meter at noon.

• Total sun delivered during the day is equivalent to 4 noon hours in the summer, 2 noon hours in the winter.
I liked the statement he made, "Bad things can only happen if good people do nothing".
Is that necessarily an ironclad reason not to use them? Can you not think of the panel as an investment of energy that is slowly returned over the course of 7 years? Like a battery, but with much greater charge density and a longer viable lifespan.

I mean, it's not like they can freely use coal and gasoline in their huts. It is also more efficient to burn the coal & gas in a plant.
I'm not sure what the writer meant by segmentation, but for what it's worth, based on what I've seen mturk workers aren't really equally distributed across the world. From my own observation, a large majority of the workers are in India.
I can easily go behind my two-year-old and switch the burners off. I can't as easily return 42 jugs of Tide and get refunds.
>Analysts are just doing their job and one certainly can't blame them.

Yes, you can blame them and you can blame them very easily. This is a ridiculous argument.
That's exactly what I'm thinking now. And what smart people have been advising me all along... it took me a while to hear them, though.
It doesn't need to be on all the time. It can just take however long it wants to start up, connect, and transmit the order.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check it out.
Most ideas suck, and those that do not suck are more likely targeted at people with different needs than the average HN user.

Businesses want to sell tons of crap anyway, so I'm never surprised to see harsh (but often constructive!) criticism on these boards.
Because paging with an ssd is pretty fast and these machines aren't meant for memory intensive apps anyway.
If you plug in the chinese into google translate, it comes up as "Tyrant."

The zh wikipedia has an entry, a real hoot under machine translation.
If you ever put anything out on the Internet, not just to GitHub, consider it to be public information. Forever. You might be able to convince archive.org to remove it, but there are hundreds of players out there who aren't as ethical.

Ben Franklin figured this out many years ago:

Three can keep a secret,

How about we overthrow governments all throughout south america and the middle east, setting up puppet dictators that allow US corporations to come in and plunder everything while torturing and disappearing natives who speak out? That's sure to clear up our terrorism problem. Or how about we blanket bomb buildings with drones...surely we'll only kill terrorists. And if there's "collateral damage" surely the family members of the deceased will understand that their family members died for a good cause. Surely they will now cheer on the USA and its noble battle against the evils of this world. Surely they will not become poisoned against the USA and what it stands for (what do we stand for, again?)

No wonder there are so many "terrorists."
I’m not saying it’s this case but it’s always a good time to remind oneself of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insensitivity_to_sample_size
I use it to build x86 images on my M1 MacBook
Ads mean iframes, which mean tons of separate DOMs, which are heavy and expensive.

You also have to consider that images are decompressed for display; that 474x350 image in the lead spot on the Techcrunch homepage is 474 * 359 * 4 = 663,600 bytes in RAM, plus any overhead. When you consider how image-heavy sites have become, that's a lot of memory that can disappear in a hurry.

My name is Andrei Pervychine, I'm a Full Stack Senior developer with a Master's degree, and a lot of experience with Mobile Technologies. I'm a generalist that can get you from a PSD file to a website/mobile app built using the latest tech, clean code capable of scaling to a million users and take care of the hosting (Apache setup, AWS).
I hear what you're saying, but I think you misunderstood me.

I wasn't trying to distinguish regular users from power users. I was trying to distinguish all users (however knowledgeable) from specially licensed developers. I was trying to make about about the openness and freedom of Debian as a platform versus the locked-down nature of iOS.

Also, I disagree about your trust: it wasn't misplaced.
Well, I've done a racing game over a typical cable connection and it was incredible. I really couldn't tell -- and that's crazy because I've been doing game development for a decade and can spot FPS rates to about a 2 frame accuracy.

What is with this crazy negativity around OnLive? I thought you guys liked new things -- don't be a hater!

The OnLive uses a crazy proprietary algorithm to get a ton of juice out of your line. The guy working on it is one of the most brilliant engineers I know.
It's possible to change music volume level. Think about it like an audio documentary with background music.
How do multiple time zones jive with local cdns serving at 14 ms...?
The voices are ATT's. VocaTalk supports any SAPI 5.1/5.3 compatible voice. It combines music, binaural waves, and fx like positional audio to improve the experience. Those features create a unique experience that makes it possible to listen hours and hours of tts.
In addition to Prefast, there is also the Static Driver Verifier(SDV). Comes with the Windows Driver Kit, analyzes your code to detect common problems people have when writing drivers. The Windows Driver Kit is free -- you can learn more about SDV here:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/tools/sdv.mspx

SDV began its life as a project called SLAM. This page has documentation on SLAM, academic papers, etc.
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/slam/

I'm not sure of the exact connection highlighted in the article, but this work builds on decades of work in automated theorem proving. It's exciting that now these techniques are used on real code.

(Disclosure: the SLAM & SDV authors are colleagues of mine at Microsoft.)
I'm not sure what you think is inane - I wouldn't mind hearing. And I read the post as anti-Appstore more than anti-Apple. (I think it's an important distinction in context.)

The poster is responding to this in the thread above him:

How many useful applications are in Debian's repositories?

<snip>

10 thousand? 20 thousand?

How long has Debian been around? 17 years?

Now compare this to iPhone: 3 years and ~140,000 applications.

The post isn't criticizing Apple so much as saying to that argument, "You're not counting parallel things here. The Appstore is filled with trivially small apps - apps that amount to no more than a simple webpage. That inflates those numbers."

What is it you find inane there?

Apology accepted. Much of my dislike for package managers is on theoretical grounds (I use Macports, but only casually), so it's great to argue with someone who actually knows something about them.
On top of that one is the reaction to real, both ongoing and centuries old injustices and the other is quite frankly an attempted coup. Protesting that the other guy won is one thing. Storming the capitol to force your guy in while the votes are counted is a completely different thing.

If you are telling yourself otherwise you might wanna do a reality check. E.g. imagine the whole thing in flipped roles (if you have enough fantasy). Republicans would be completely outraged over all the actions they did in the past 4 years if it was the other team who did them.

I am not from the US and think the whole two party thing is silly anyways, but the shere cognitive distortion going on there hurts. Quite frankly it is below any HN user to uncritically wave a team flag that way, especially when it means you become blind to reality by doing so.

The US Dems would be a center-right party in most european nations and last time I checked we weren't the unfree ("socialist!") doomscape Republicans like to paint it as. In fact I'd rather live under the EU/German laws than under whatever the US system has become and I am not a nationalist by any stretch (I am not even German). Our system just leads to calmer streets, friendlier faces, less fear and stress overall (except for the tax system, I could really strangle the people who came up with that — not for the amount of taxes, but for the complexity of the system).

If presented with lies and reality, choose reality and try to correct for your own biases. Thats what good people do.
we were too busy imagining how good life was in the 60's to enjoy the 80's properly
I don't want offensive or hateful people to have free reign on Twitter and Facebook indeed most don't.
> a world where nothing is true and everything is possible.

> fostering mutual distrust and polarization

> “support both nationalist and separatist politicians, and to encourage early parliamentary elections in Ukraine, all with the aim of undermining the government in Kiev.”

> “truth decay.” This is the social process in which the question of what constitutes a fact is politicized, its distinction from opinion becomes blurred, and trusted institutions of truth are rendered obsolete

The problem is that as in Ukraine, the U.S. in the 21st century was already a society rivened with divisions that allowed it to be easy prey for such campaigns. This goes back to the very beginning of the century, which had a landmark disputed election. Then, a government-directed mass media disinformation campaign to justify a decade of unnecessary bloodshed. "Truthiness" was not coined in this presidency, but years ago.

Foreign interference may have been an additional propellant, but this rocket had already launched long ago.
I'm guessing you've made no attempt to look into the specifics of the legal challenges that have been successfully waged against voter ID laws. In particular, " and ID that is freely available at no cost to all citizens" is something that many states have failed to provide as part of their voter ID laws.

And the context surrounding these laws is relevant, because in many cases the discriminatory intent is plain as day. The assumptions you're making about how universal photo ID requirements are in day to day life fall apart when you consider the specific demographics that have been targeted.

Taken together with the fact that these voter ID laws notionally address a problem that is only barely more than hypothetical, it's impossible to see these laws as anything other than political grandstanding and attempted voter suppression. They are much worse than merely being a solution in search of a problem.

It is possible to present the general idea of voter ID requirements as a harmless, well-intended security measure—as your comment attempts. But even the most cursory investigation into the specifics or history of voter ID in the US reveals that it is not harmless, does not solve a real problem, and is backed by malicious intentions. Which is why any "innocent" attempt to support the idea cannot be taken at face value. That well has been poisoned by an overwhelming volume of disingenuous propaganda.
Not at all. You have that wrong. It is quite a funny way of presenting how I'd do it though! That'd be insane!

I ring them up or SMS people.
How long do phase 1/2 take?

I wonder if, under some potential circumstances (eg. the virus turns out to escape current vaccine & be much more contagious) exceptions will be made.
Why should Apple or Twitter have to maintain platforms full of content that 99% of their useless object to even though it’s legal (bullying, racism, whatever)?

The bar for illegal speech is extremely high, especially in the US. That’s usually a good thing.

I don’t want to read that content. More importantly, I don’t want to advertise on the platform with that content.
I think it depends if you can find 'customers' for the projects or tech you're passionate about. Anyway, i think the best could be try to do both. Ie, create a link with California and at the same time, star to gather people locally. Become a connector with the 'Valley' and meet people in your town doing the same and help each other.
Imagine getting a flat tire in that spot and not having a spare..

Parallelization is a very good advice, I am going through a hiring process right now where the company employs this method and according to them it has made their lives alot easier.

The take home code test they use is totally googlable, however there are multiple ways to solve the problem and they ask candidates to provide tests for their solutions. If they are happy with the solution and find it distinctive the candidate gets to explain the solution during the onsite interview.

I found the whole process very relaxed and enjoyable.
I've come to see that listening to them talk about 'freedom' and about how we don't have any = somewhat the same as my strong beliefs that breakfast should always have curry and noodles. Never the twain shall meet. But I'm not the one telling them that curry and noodles are the only things anybody should eat. Eat horrible cereal and muesli and bacon if you have to.

Never attribute to sloth that which is adequately explained by the profit incentive.
You are doing it right. A big problem is that companies are new to having engineering/design/social/digital/whatever teams and do not have much in the way of career tracks in place. So what happens is that you get hired as a software engineer (or some other techy title) and get stuck because there's no upward mobility since no one has taken the time to outline career paths in the org chart for these new roles. This is compounded by the fact that upper management is usually filled with non-tech people who haven't a clue as to what to do with these newfangled roles.
The problem with that, as I understand it, is that the archaeological evidence for a coastal migration out of Beringia just isn't there?
"Corrupt".

Care to substantiate that?
