LegalZoom also talks about unregistered trademarks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unregistered_trademark) and the comparison with registered trademarks at http://info.legalzoom.com/registered-vs-unregistered-tradema... and http://info.legalzoom.com/report-use-unregistered-trademark-... .

You first send a cease and desist letter.

> If the infringing party does not comply with your cease and desist letter, you may protect your unregistered mark by filing a lawsuit for trademark infringement in your state court. Your lawsuit will need to notify the court how long you've been using the mark and how the other party is infringing on your rights. Because an unregistered trademark is only granted protection within a limited geographic area, any infringing use outside of this geographic area will not be enforceable. A third party who files for federal registration of your unregistered mark, even after you've been using it, may be granted the right to use that mark in all geographic areas other than the limited area where your common law rights exist.
Yeah, for a while we had to say ES2015/ES6 in all of our blog posts etc. but hopefully soon things can settle down. Especially when it gets to ES2016/ES7 and above, having the year in the name will be super convenient (like Ubuntu version numbers)
It's great to see web design moving more and more towards the web. Looking forward to trying this out. The live update feature could be a big win for slack conversations.
Because government is your force multiplier. If you have an embedded saboteur doing direct sabotage, you can only do as much damage as one person can do. If you have your saboteur conducting false flag crimes against the government, you can do as much damage as one government can do, at a time that you may be able to influence via quiet information leaks to the right people.

Many people tip on what they paid instead of the normal cost, so if they bought their Groupon at a heavy discount, they'll tip correspondingly less.
Yes, I do think you can cure cancer by going around making friends with people--especially smart people who are doing other interesting things. I don't think a single-mindedness about problem solving ever works as well as staying focused, but having a broader perspective.

As for not talking about music, sports, beer, tv, family, or sex, hey, if that works for you, that's great. When you spell out all the things you're missing out on (especially family and sex), I'm doubly glad we have different approaches to life.
I don't think "utter disregard for bug reports" paints an accurate picture. Remember, the vast majority of packages are maintained by volunteers, with different day jobs. (This is often true even for those with @redhat.com email — their day job is usually RHEL or OpenStack or OpenShift, and Fedora may or may not be part of that.) So, response time, attitude, and even expertise available to fix the issue varies. For some packages, you'll get great response (ever tried to file a bug against SELinux? I'd be surprised if your issue wasn't fixed in a magically small window, because those people are crazy awesome and on top of it). For others... well, yeah.

Many packagers aren't even coders — they're sysadmins or end-users who needed the software packaged up — and if the bug is in the upstream code rather than the _packaging_, they may not be properly qualified. They _should_ help the user negotiate the process of getting a fix from upstream, but sometimes that's hard too when the packager can't reproduce.

For some packages, bugs are a firehose. Triaging alone can be a full-time job. We've had some efforts at triage teams, but those have generally died out due to burnout. (Help wanted if you have any ideas, though.)
It's actually not clear how low doses of radiation over a long period of time affect human health. Estimates and standards are usually built assuming that a short, intense dose and a long, slow dose are the same as long as they contain the same quantity of radiation (the Linear no-threshold model). However, there is doubt about how valid this is for long-term doses.

There are a few places on earth that have naturally high radiation levels (up to 250mSv/year), including many places with large granite deposits or hot springs. However, these places often do not show any higher cancer incidence (or other relevant health problems) than other areas, possibly suggesting some sort of limit before radiation becomes harmful (the Threshold model).

Some studies actually show significantly lower cancer incidence than other areas. This has prompted the idea of Radiation hormesis, that low doses above background have some benefit. We do know that low doses do stimulate cell repair mechanisms in different ways than large doses do, so it does seem possible (although real-world data is mixed). The effects are not well understood at present, and it's an area that is under ongoing study. Unfortunately, it's an absolute devil to research!
In the preceding generation of CADR Lisp Machines built by the MIT-AI lab, I seem to remember that half a megaword of 32 bit words was not uncommon, and at least one had 2 megawords.
I'd love to see any info.

I took a look at EJDB recently and thought it looked like a pretty neat project. One potential gotcha is that it is built on TokyoCabinet which AFAIK is no longer maintained. Looks like they have plans to build a v2, though.
>Take PR 101. Never leave the other side in control of the narrative. If you play by left branding rules, you will lose.

You realize, of course, that this idea that the connotation matters more than denotation is a "science" that, historically speaking, has generally been associated with the left: a association which, if I considered myself a leftist, I would find quite insulting. Those sorts of attitudes are a big part of what drove me away from the left in my late teens, in fact. (the rest was, well, mostly that I was making a lot of money; it's hard not to be a libertarian at 19; way more so when you are making lots of money.)

Barthes was an interesting writer, sure, and he brought up some interesting points, but like most leftists of his era, (ok, to be fair, just about everyone of his era.) he vastly underestimated the complexity of the human brain.

The problem with relying too heavily on semiotics is that it's pretty obvious; and it's really easy to sound like you are trying too hard to manipulate your audience; something most of us find pretty offensive. The other problem is that the connotation of a particular word varies quite a lot on the cultural background of the speaker; so while semiotics can work to whip up people who are like you and agree with you, it's unlikely to work well when speaking to a group of people from diverse backgrounds.

There's an experiment in progress here, written by Slava and myself (core devs at Meteor) over the course of a week: http://meteor-postgres.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

It suggests that there isn't really that much work to do to make a basic SQL integration story that people can use. At this point when this makes it into core is a matter of prioritization and not stretching ourselves too thin.

Is this going to work for static asset hosting such as for low cost FE assets? Can this be set to serve an index file from the root directory? Doe's it provide you a public URL to your (stealing s3 terms) bucket?

Just curious as to why I would migrate from S3 for FE assets to Backblaze.

Tigerdirect had them for $170 for a few days.

Are those 8TB and 10TB the helium ones with HAMR? Very slow.
Yes! RIGHT NOW (during beta) we don't have the top level folder feature yet, the URLs all come from https:://f001.backblaze.com type of URLs. But this is one of my favorite uses (I have a private website I plan to move over) and we'll definitely be adding this feature soon.
I'm curious - do you think there is room for someone to come along with the right combination of stuff to become the "de facto platform for all web development"?

It's interesting also that people always talk about Rails but don't mention JSP and .NET, which I think are actually a lot more popular last time I looked around. I guess it depends on who you ask.

I feel like JavaScript is in a sweet spot right now because it has the inherent advantage of being the _only_ language you can run inside a browser, so you can do things with it that would be very hard or complicated in other languages.
Thanks. I wonder what Microsoft did for MS-DOS? I remember a few clones with 86's instead of 88's.
Manufacturing a chip is expensive, it requires volume.

But you can put this in altera's new flash fpga's(max10) and have a working mcu(if this fits you might even get this is in a $3-4 chip) ,but the core is only a part of the design, you need to add peripherals and memories.
The actual verilog is often the easy part. Writing a good simulation (see testbench.v and the firmware folder) to make sure that verilog does what you expect takes a fair amount of work. Getting the verilog to synthesize and meet timing is also another large piece of the work. It appears that (unlike a lot of FPGA projects) the author of this has actually written scripts to automate that part, but you can bet there was a fair amount of trial and error to get those scripts correct. There's always a lot of "fighting the tools" involved in this process.
It's the sort of question that would be asked by someone that the poster you're responding to probably considers very much part of the outgroup and so would take pleasure in brushing off and condescending to.

This doesn't seem like a very useful question, since a lot of people if answering completely honestly would probably name things in other fields they're specifically not doing for money or other logistical reasons ("writer", "dolphin trainer", "skydiving instructor", or whatever).

I rarely find apps on the Mac app store, they're usually always from the app's creator's website. Recent ones I can think of include Bowtie and Sublime Text 3.
This is a really cool service, I can already think of a few cool uses for this. I once participated in a project (movie to gif library), and one of the biggest constraints was the cost of cloud storage - hopefully more competition in this space can drive prices down to where they become even more negligible.

As always, would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Something to note: Unless you're storing data in us-east-1, all other regions in AWS are "one datacenter". Yes, they have AZs, but those aren't datacenters, they're just compartmentalized segments of the same datacenter.

So! If you can tolerate the loss of a datacenter, store in Blackblaze. If you need geo-redundancy until Backblaze can offer it? Store in us-east-1 (which is geo-redundant between Virginia and Oregon).
You are a BEAST. Always inspiring to see your progress here.

Well, routing everything through them via DNS obviously means less code in your application, so that's nice.

Also, a CDN which routes all of your traffic via DNS can also take advantage of a private network to get the packets to your users faster, i.e. Cloudflare could potentially own a faster link between Virginia and Berlin than the public internet would take, and lower response time that way. I think that's what point two on the benefits list here is about: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-is-now-a-google-cloud...
Yep, and they were all effectively owned by banks who leased them to cab drivers on a per-shift basis. Your cab driver has to pay ~$150 (I don't know the actual number) per day to drive a cab, so until he makes that $150 back he is losing money. If you had to do this every day, knowing there is a chance you might lose money by going to work, well, you'd be a pretty miserable human being -- just like most NYC taxi drivers.
If that's your answer then you shouldn't be applying for a job in the first place. It seems like your attitude would make you a difficult person to work with. Instead you should monetize and work on your own projects.
Oh really, I didn't know Akamai worked like that.

Do you know of any docs describing the algorithm Akamai or CloudFlare use to decide whether to hit your origin server? I'm a stickler for correctness but it seems to be pretty easy to get into the situation where your users aren't getting what you intended. HTTP cache headers are a mess.

To me it seems safer to code your application so the HTML points to JS/CSS/PNG with content hashes in the URL. Then you don't have any cache expiry issues -- nothing ever expires, but you control the assets exactly through your dynamic HTML.

I think it's important to have fast and reliable rollbacks. You can imagine some situation where private content or offensive text is accidentally included with some static asset... I would like some guarantee about when users stop seeing it (preferably as soon as the application is redeployed).
You're going to have at least some non-NULL attributes for every person even if you don't have a name. It would be foolish to design an application that shows a list of people just by name; you need to include some other attributes as well.

> A good president really only needs just one skill: Knowing how to hire good people.

No, that's not true.

A minimally competent president, at a bare minimum, needs to be able to hire good people -- who are experts in fields where he is not an expert, in many cases -- and to effectively manage those people, including resolving disputes between them (including in areas where he is less of a domain experts than they are.)

While some of this can be delegated (e.g., to the White House Chief of Staff), ultimately, anyone to whom this is delegated is going to still need to be managed and be involved in disagreements that need to be resolved.

Still U.S. saw it best to install puppet and continue occupation for about a generation. There we're 20 000 troops in Philippines in 1941. In a country of about 16 million people.

There are over 30 million people in Afganistan and about 13000 Nato troops. If that works out, U.S. has gotten better occupying countries.
Does AWS provide this info for S3? I believe they do not, and only provide a percentage of durability maintained.
I'd love to see more transparency in the way Cloudflare, or CDNs in general, decide to cache or not cache your content. For example: Cloudflare publishes crawl frequencies in their pricing table but what do they actually do with that content? Push it to all their edges? I'd doubt that. I guess it's based on website traffic, your website pricing plan, ... but it seems quite arbitrary to me.
Very cool...
>It's actually kind of difficult to believe that you're really saying that--the PC police can't lock you up, can't send you to the gulag, but they can shame you on twitter!
That's no consequence. That's nothing.

Which leads to job loss and career damage because you have a mob of 10,000 twats with nothing better to do than complain on Twitter to anyone who even so much as thinks of hiring your "racist ass" because you shared an article about the military armor having chinks in it [0]. Or do you think the Army was being racist? That's what people are terming as "PC" and "overly PC".

>Telling the audience they're in the wrong for not finding the old material funny? Now that's a good joke.

Comedy and tragedy go hand in hand. When someone is unable to make humor out of tragedy - you lose comedy. There is a reason that, outside of wordplay, most jokes play on disasters, stereotypes or outrageous scenarios. If you think you know a joke that isn't a play on words or isn't based on a stereotype, feel free to share it. I can't even think of one.

While I do have some respect for rakugo performances [1], it's not something a lot of people can get into. An entire comedy based on nothing but wordplay and puns only fits a niche audience. Maybe more people who do nothing but puns and dry humor should tell jokes at college campuses?

Joke: "I spilled some spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone."

Expected College Campus Reaction: "Animal abuse!!!"

Nevermind. Dry humor off limits too.

The college niche dislikes politically incorrect jokes. While colleges have always leaned pretty liberal, in recent years academia has gone absolutely crazy over gender/identity politics. Anyone who so much as laughs at a potentially-racist-joke gets shunned by their peers as a racist. So yes, it's fair to say "college kids are just too PC for the jokes" when they're still successful everywhere else and even among the same age range but with different, and less PC-extreme, political leanings.
