The courts could (and should) render TI’s underlying copyrights unenforceable.

Sadly, the cited precedent is from 1990, and I don’t know of any more recent cases.

edit: I also just posted this as a top-level article. People in the tech community should have a broader understanding of this line of legal defense.

Money is not property. Money is an entry on a ledger, which tracks credits and debits. So yes, fiat currency is not redeemable for a physical asset. But if it was redeemable, what ensures that say gold or a chicken will suffice to settle a debt or serve as credit for a future transaction. Chickens die and gold is only as valuable as your skills as a trader. The ledger and all of the social norms and institutional structures that accompany it is what maintains financial wealth.

Preventing debasement of currency via inflation via printing money, which a lot of people use as their go to argument against fiat money, is simply adding economy wide debt to the ledger. This is necessary from time to time especially during crises and especially in a services/financial services/ intellectual property heavy economy.

If no money existed, at all, how would you receive compensation for providing work of an IP nature to your neighbor. You would need either a perfect trade (you really want their chicken it’s just the right amount of chicken for you) or you take an iou. Which is a debt. Now have them write that iou down on a piece of paper and hand it to you. Your neighbor just printed money. Not so crazy.
Yeah, it's totally in our power and our right, though it would be most effective if we took the property of those close to him. Also, don't expect them to like you back, but it's not like Russia has ever liked us.
Ack...that's some old PHP
Yes, ETH 2.0 is coming in 2022 (unless it gets delayed). There's one proposal for July that might help a little and more transactions are moving to L2 chains (LRC, Matic) where you pay the high fees only on exit/entering the L2 but can do transactions there for cheap.

Outside of ETH, BSC (Binance's smart chain, the exchange with 9x Coinbase's volume) already has lower fees but the chain is controlled by binance (its 'stock' is the token BNB valued at 40b currently, possibly a good investment) and has an influx of projects due to low fees and easy ETH-BSC migration. There are some other competitors with active smart chains but less projects and many are waiting on ADA's smart chain in early Q2 as well as on some other competitors that (might) solve that and other problems.

ADA (built by an ETH co-founder) specifically solves some of smart contract's current gripes by allowing you to build them in functional languages like Haskell, while being the most decentralized option which might be of interest here.
My understanding is that spin leads to a slightly different electrical force between up and down spinning electrons due to weak force symmetry breaking or singing to that effect. It's more like they have tiny electrical differences rather than canceling out any charge unless I'm mistaken.
Yeah, I’m not really interested in dip buying, because a dip only has meaning relative to some other peak, and I’m not interested in comparing prices with other prices, I’m comparing prices with real value. And I still felt like the market price of stocks was above what they were really worth. Needed to go down another 30 or 40 percent I think, to reach neutral pricing.

To use my Ford Fiesta analogy, if you come to me and say “this Ford Fiesta is only 60k! That’s 40 percent off! I would say you’re using a sleazy sales tactic on me, because it’s not worth 60k either. Comparing it with some other, even more outrageous price and then claiming that it’s therefore cheap is not something I’m going to fall for.
Nit-picking here, but language is important.

Not sure I like the idea that a "feature request" can be "fixed". It's a feature, not a bug. It's a request, not some sort of obligation of the development team.

Still though, it's good to see a process work over a 17 year long period, in an industry where things oftentimes seem to be thrown out in a matter of a few years.
The question is why that fact alone would affect the value of this company's shares. Just identifying him doesn't mean he'd liquidate.
This approach prevents CSS styling though since SVG referenced this way has its independent DOM and is not part of the current page DOM.
No iPad support yet. Soon though! We're actively working on it.
Yeah, now your privacy will only get invaded if the government actively decides to cast their eye your way. The downside is that being chosen for a look is enough to convince your fellow citizens that invading your privacy is a special case that doesn't erode their rights, plus if the government is interested in tracking you, it might be dangerous not to let them.

And of course the "inefficiency" of government only helps until they reach a certain level of technological sophistication, which doesn't leave us much time even if you assume they're ten years behind the private sector.
TRICK QUESTION.

1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive. Exactly why is the seminar not at the local pub?
For the original complaint, see this PDF (via Light Blue Touch): http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/20101221110342233.pdf
To argue, scientists/corporations are interested in the illusion of advancement is a fair point, albeit a pessimistic one.

"Scientists don't want to do replication because it advances our knowledge of nature without looking like it is"

To argue they therefore purposely want to prevent actual progress (on a whole) seems disingenuous.
And the muffled gasp of ten thousand analytics startups dying is heard across the valley.
This is almost exactly what I was going to recommend setting up at our company.

Yes, a Mac Mini to an LCD TV isn't the most thrilling of tech articles, but I've been very keen to hear experiences of people using these sort of cobbled-together from commodity hardware "ghetto Telepresence" setups.

Our needs (and budget) just don't fit with the more expensive all-in-one solutions. And I imagine the quality of the cobbled-together experience can vary wildly depending on the hardware configuration. So I was excited to read about a setup that is working well for someone.
They should think themselves lucky - in the UK they would now have a lifetime on the sex offenders register.

I don't get your point. There's a difference between an unsolved problem and an unsolvable one? That's obvious. It's also irrelevant to the story.

The relevant distinction is between coursework exercises and open problems in the field. That's a pretty big difference. When students complete their homework, they don't typically get woken up by phone calls from excited professors telling them to write their work up for publication immediately.
Let's hope this isn't Twitter's only monetisation strategy.
Lost interest when saw you have to implement your API in PHP... doesn't gel well with the interoperable web service vision of the future.

If you could implement the API in any language, then you'd really be talking.
This will likely appeal to the identi.ca and diaspora crowd, but will not appeal to the facebook crowd.

there are two problems with OpenID.

#1 the UX has been killed by committee more than once. ( i should know I worked on it. )

#2 OpenID does not offer value for one, let alone many OpenIDs.

Whether we like it or not. We need to get activitystrea.ms and the browser vendors to probably make some collective bets on identity.

Password managers make some bets on input fields that use the password type to manage login pairs, but I think we need to take this further.

I think we need to start having browsers connect cookies and openid redirect flows to login pairs. I think we can observe openid login flows in the browser and... remember them! I think we can link that to a browser profile, and I think we can pair that to a cookie set. I think smart-identity-browsers can suggest OpenIDs and make OpenID NASCAR obsolete, or at-least auto create a popular field of buttons, rather than making that site specific.

This is probably not enough space to discuss in detail how I think the tech can mature. but i think it's obvious that the future of the web is mobile, and is identity based. these interfaces don't need to get a little bit simpler, they need to get a lot simpler. they need to work on mobile phones.

a lot of the work i have done on OpenID comes to naught when you try to copy that experience for mobile phones.
Periscope for ESPN would be interesting. do the leageues allow that since you are essentially broadcasting the match/event?
Sorry, at the moment I don't have time to read the 166 Comments here, but I did search for "cholesterol" and it came up negative. What is your cholesterol level? Did you know that proper brain functioning requires good cholesterol? Some of your symptoms sound like what I experienced when I was put on a statin drug (specifically Simvastatin). Against medical advice, I stopped taking it. (For me, it was the right thing to do; I'm watching someone else have their mind hollowed out by it starving the brain of cholesterol -- exactly what was in my own future!) This is all I can offer about this and I hope it provides a clue.

K thx bye.

Now that's world-rocking news! If everyone starts announcing they are leaving or joining this site it will become really boring.
I'd be interested to know how you fully resolve external dependencies. For example - do you pull in js libraries that are linked to dynamically within other js files (as opposed to those that are simply referenced statically as includes in the html)? If so, are you rendering the page in a 'headless browser' to do this?

By the way, I think the idea for the service is great, although a little too pricey for me to start using yet ;-) I always need to search my bookmarks. As a proxy for doing this, I currently use Google's "search visited pages" feature: when you're logged in to Google and search, you now get the option to constrain the search to only those pages that you have visited in the past - a superset of bookmarks, but useful nonetheless.
And thanks for all the fish?
I just added an RSS feed to the site that contains all the posts from people you follow: beta.fedang.com/rss/<username>

This is a public feed, so anyone can see who you're following - I plan on making this an optional setting if there's too much of uproar about that.
Just a hypothesis, but ...

Perhaps that just means that you're closer to the Aspie end of the spectrum. Perhaps most people in the world actually like the mind games, the unspoken rules and the social etiquette. It's true that many don't, but it's certainly true that some do.
Smalltalk with Squeak.

It was invented with children in mind, it's a great programming language anyway, it's easy to use, very smooth to program and comes with the full package of GUI, debugger, class browser, younameit.

Children manage very fast and within two days, they're programming amazing things with it.

Squeak's "Hello World" is a green turtle moving over the screen.

(It's also a very nice and smooth programming language for grown-ups too.. :)

Though I'd second the Arduino idea, too - great environment!
The first thing you need to do is stop presuming your child will be interested in whatever you are interested. My old man loved cars and certainly shared that love with me but when he realized how much I love computers, he used up his savings to buy me one and supported me in becoming a programmer, despite the fact he knew nothing about computers himself. Parents have a lot of power over their kids. Instead of abusing it and trying to "replicate" themselves, they should use it to support their kids' own interests -- whatever those may be.

That said, if your kid ever clearly expresses interest in learning a programming language, I'd go with Ruby :)
> 2. Putting things I need to remember into a system and then forgetting about them, trusting that my system has it under control, removes a huge cognitive load from me. I have more energy to use elsewhere.

This is the key for me. My brain gets jumbled if I try to juggle too many things at once.

I write stuff I need to do down in a single place, or move my "I will _definitely_ read this later" bookmarks to Pinboard and promptly forget them.

When I need something new to do or read, I know where to find it.
There IS a physical universe, in case you somehow missed that.

The quote about god playing dice doesn't imply god exists -- it's actually about the laws of nature (how the universe operates). God's playing dice is just the phrasing it uses to make it more understandable.
@xboxnolifes. As I posted elsewhere, watch this and tell me if it looks "economically motivated". Even in the cases where this violence is "economically motivated", does that mean hate isn't a factor? So as long as I steal some money nothing is a hate crime? (I don't really know what I think of the category "hate crime", but if we are going to have them it seems the rules should be elucidated). https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-senior-attacked-sf-man-pu...

[edit for clarity: Not a fan of jumping to call things "hate crimes". Also not a fan of trying to caste a mitigating aura on violent crime by saying it is all "economically motivated", especially when that is not true of all these crimes. Double plus fan of police enforcing the law and keeping violent people locked away.]
It's even less than Tiny (= no CSS). I wrote some SVG manually recently and in my opinion SVG is quite fine for that purpose.
Yeah, I consider complaining about academic writing like this to be just as curmudgeonly. I remember when I first got access to a good university library and could read all the criticism written about books and authors I had read – knowing that people like Watterson, Gene Wolfe, or Victor Davis Hanson had tarred it – and I found the vast majority to actually be valid and insightful, giving me an expanded appreciation of the book or an understanding of its place in the greater social discourse.

Yes, literary criticism often focuses on highly specialized concerns and not everyone is interested in e.g. queer perspectives, but can't we be happy that it exists for those who do want to read it?
I explicitly stated that a libertarian case could be made for regulating nuclear power, on the grounds that it constitutes a threat. Is there a reason you're choosing to ignore that fact?

I'm not ignoring it - I thought you meant that the requirement for private insurance would be a major part of it. I replied how that wouldn't work.

What exactly do you mean by "regulation" beyond the (non-workable) private insurance idea?

To be clear - my idea of regulation in this case is an independent government body with the sole purpose of being responsible for safety oversight. This means approval for blueprints, locations and operational procedures etc, as well as continuous operational monitoring, the ability to shut down the plant and to impose penalties of fines and jail time (subject to oversight of the court system course).

if you mean "don't smoke that plant that's been growing on Earth for millions of years, and we'll send in a SWAT team if you disobey", then that kind of regulation is a crime against humanity.

Yes, I believe that government has a right to make laws regarding the use of drugs. No, I don't think they should send in a SWAT team if someone smokes a joint (And no, that isn't a contradiction as the many places that do have drug laws but don't use SWAT teams to enforce them shows). I do not have strong opinions for or against cannabis prohibition. I don't want to derail this into a drug law discussion though.
Of course it was done by somebody Russian.
From a European perspective, I like how you say that the house is still standing 10 years later (and someone in another comment above mentioned 25 years) like it's something outstanding.

I would expect a house to last 100 years. A family member once bought a house that is over 400 years old (and still standing).

Then again, construction and houses are way more expensive in Europe/Germany. They're planning to tear down and rebuild my old high school from scratch, current estimate: 85 million euros total.
Magnification is gimmicky - looks nice in demos, but pretty useless in day-to-day usage.

afaict, work on grub2 started back in 2004, and a backport patch[1] of the 'paranoid' A20 checking for grub legacy was posted to the bug-grub mailing list back in 2006.

In fact, the very first reply[2] to that patch makes exactly the same point I did above: why not use grub2?

Irrelevant, the gates foundation doesn't donate to the US.
Then let them carry on. Most of these companies are global in nature already. My naive view of the plea for more foreign tech workers to enter the US is that the majority of those controlling the money just really really really like like in SF and don't want to leave. When there's talk of tech worker shortage, there's not even any really serious effort to look around the US. Nope, the hive mind is in SF, and they'll move heaven and earth before they have to move someplace else.
being a.. "tech" person, i always get grief from people when i tell them i don't use adblock. "you should know better" or words to that effect.

this would explain why i've never considered chrome to be a memory hog.. (although, all my machines have a lot of memory, too)
Another comparison point (curiously not referenced in the above paper) is this similar effort: https://www.usenix.org/conference/hotcloud13/workshop-progra... [PDF/slides/video]

From a quick skim, the Xilinx work synthesises the entire network stack (including TCP) in hardware, unlike the above study, which only supports UDP in the HW traffic manager.

The numbers in the Xilinx paper are more attractive than what this study found and the paper also includes power measurements (since Joule/request is one metric on which FPGAs and hardware do quite well compared to software).

That said, much of the latency gain likely comes from bypassing the OS kernel and its generalised network stack. There is plenty of existing work (unfortunately also not referenced in this paper) that does this and which achieves very low latency, albeit -- to be fair -- on x86 hardware. (Examples: Arrakis [1], IX [2] and MICA [3].)

Previous discussion on how this stuff doesn't add up: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1701724

It's an interesting idea for a second, until one starts to actually crunch the numbers.
I will let you know as soon as I have something decent :)
While I agree with you, I don't think that's a grey area from their perspective either. The CIA has done it with the support of other governments.
I feel that your answer proves the point my original comment - that there is literally Silicon level support for completely avoiding gotos. I stand by my disgust at finding that they exist in any non-legacy code, especially in something I generally think of as high quality (iOS[1]/OS X).

(combined with a global pointer to a stack, a few instructions and a jmp should be enough to reimplement functions, including storing the return jmp address somewhere, obviously. As I think I made clear, I believe we invented compilers so that we don't have to know how this stuff is actually implemented. I do realise that I'm never going to know more about assembly than the set of HN readers who will pounce on this kind of comment - I was just trying to show that I have heard of jmp, and that I know it is spat out by compilers to implement high level language features, and that any nontrivial compiled program will contain many jmp instructions. A bug from using goto where a switch or if/else statement would have worked is inexcusable, and also nothing to do with assembly instructions.)

[1] actually, iOS 7? I take that back.
If you are still asking yourself that question, I strongly recommend you read this book: http://restfulwebapis.com/
Wow this is fantastic. I think exposure to this kind of stuff is something that not enough kids get. It's not their fault and I'm glad to see somebody taking charge of spreading the word about tech.

I'm working on a hackathon to merge students (not just college) and professionals in NYC and would love to get in touch with you guys.
I think it's because cruelty-free is already quite easy to get: just buy food from local, organic farms that actually raise animals instead of mass-producing them.
Marriage, like many things include software, is only as good as the foundation that it is built on. I have no doubt that my wife and I will ever get a divorce. It just isn't an option. I've seen others who hold the same belief and through very hard times they don't change when it comes to that... and in the end their marriage is even better than before. I've seen the same with us as well.

I have no problem if people don't want to get married, but if you do, I wish more couples would discuss that before they get hitched.
Yes. They use window.history. It degrades to using the usual hash method for other browsers.
I think the best way to do this is to just bundle a JRE in your application .zip?! You don't need an app to do that!
It's the same thing split in N tabs.

Not a distinction made because of immediate vs retained GUI.
Peter Shirley's one is nice too!

Sorry!
There are two distinct classes of system pushed under the label “blockchain”: the kind like Bitcoin are enormously complicated by trying to be used between untrusted parties. The systems which are potential viable are much less expensive because all of the parties in their system are known and trusted at least to be subject to contract law. All a bank needs is public key encryption and Merkle trees, and while that might be branded as a blockchain for marketing purposes that doesn’t make it the same.
To me, the "little covid experiment" kind of validated the value of an office: Situational awareness. Previously, it was so easy to grab a coffee or lunch, and get an overall awareness of who is doing what. I'm still struggling to find a substitute for that.
Wow, I overlooked this post. But you have me interested. I would like to talk more about the details of your offer. Please send me your contact info.
It's actually done all of the time. GPUCompiler.jl, the core of the CUDA and AMD GPU stack, builds static binaries (compiled to .ptx by LLVM for CUDA for example, but the choice is just a switch), then stashes those binaries to use with a ccall in a Julia function. You could in theory use that stack to statically-compile anything that's GPU compliable, and it's really well-tested.
