Often I find that it's not the issues the parties disagree on that I need to worry about, it's those that get passed quickly and quietly through Congress.
Hi waxjar, thanks for your comment.

Yes, duplicating projects is something other users have asked us for and it's something we have in the pipeline. There are a lot of really great suggestions we've had in recent weeks and this is just one that you can expect to see in the run up to Christmas.

Thanks again for your suggestion,

The last leaked draft the EFF have on their site is from May 2014 (specifically the chapter covering intellectual property). Other bits and pieces have surfaced over the last two years as well, not all of them obtained legally, which is presumably why the EFF don't have them on their site. I do believe Cryptome has them, but I'm at work, I can't risk visiting Cryptome to get the links right now.
There is a Dunkin Donuts right next to the Great Mosque.

Contemplate that.

(edits - seriously, I do. It's fascinating, the hotels, the logistics, the consumerism, the souvenier stalls, the clash of cultures, the clash of what islam means to different people around the world and the Saudi's interpretation of it. And then there's the western food chains, KFC is there, Dunkin Donuts are there, all halal of course).
People thought "the office" was funny for the way the characters handled situations with complete ineptitude and their inability to understand conventional norms. I think they should make a TV show based on people trying to handle architecture of Teal. The way it's being described, it sounds like another world; and just as hard to comprehend. Monkeys, ninjas, roles, badges, and the beach...
Not unless you were very certainly sure it was true. The probability that you got it right and didn't mess up some detail is so vanishingly small that it might as well be 0.

If you go around shouting about yet another half-baked "solution", people will think you're a crank (and they might even be right). Exercise some restraint, check it and wait.

One thing about a positive P=NP proof is that it would necessarily be constructive, so you could try to actually implement it and maybe do some SAT solving competition. If you start stomping the competition, you would get noticed and be in a much stronger position to announce something like this.
I knew when TPA passed it meant that TPP was nearing completion, they passed TPA (fast-track) because it curtails the power of the congress to stop what I consider to be the unconstitutional TPP. One of the best resources for both documents I have found is the podcast Congressional Dish by Jennifer Briney, who actually takes the time to read the docs and summarize issues.

Personally, I think this is a giant leap towards world government, away from constitutional representation, and away from free-trade and towards the oligarchy-controlled globalism.

I plan on digging into it more and writing a summary of my own, because this is a major issue that we need to push back on hard due to the limitations of the house and senate to oppose it.
Just looked into it and there is a Chrome app. It can be started from the Mac Launchbar and runs in its own window.

Not native, but feels close enough for this type of thing to me.
Even if this is the case, it's also led to a rising standard of living for the Asian lower and middle class, who vastly outnumber the American lower class. So if one assumes all peoples' living standards are equally valuable, then it's a net win.
Huh, I just realized that the Silk Road or a similar online black market could literally save lives in this case.

People could sell generics and alternatives that are not yet approved by the FDA or whatever local authority at a much lower price, everyone wins (except the government and Big Pharma).

Though there would be a lot of fraud I presume, sellers with fake pills and the like...

It's perfectly fine to say that an area is reserved only for adherents to a given religion. But your response incorrectly generalizes your personal beliefs as if they are true of all religions.

Non-Catholics can enter the Vatican. Certainly you don't think the Vatican exists only to entertain, do you?

As a core part of the Sikh faith, "the Harmandir Sahib is open to all persons regardless of their religion, colour, creed, or sex." (Quoting Wikipedia.) Do you really think that makes it solely a place for sight-seeing?

I've rewatched the 92 debates a few times in the last few months, and it's crazy how spot on he was... it's also worth noting that the 92 debates were what scared the two parties into corrupting the debate process, joining together to push out the League of Women Voters and to control the stage to prevent disruptive third-parties from being so publicly anti-establishment.

The comic is too detailed and too well written to summarize here. Go read it.

The TPP is basically why many companies gave up "policing" the Internet about 6-10 years ago. Many of the voracious file sharing lawsuits ($150,000 or $750 per download, which ever is greater) just stopped. They've been waiting for stronger legal teeth. Now they'll have the legal backing of governments to do private corporate takedowns. If we thought the MPAA/RIAA getting local police and federal officers to enforce their policies was bad, there's a lot worse ahead at a larger scale than most people can comprehend (required ISP logging/tracking/takedowns of every URL (retention time? forever), required in-line packet inspection (globally distributed GFW with local policies), etc).

Fighting this won't be silly little "sopa nope-a" web blackouts. It'll need full time DC congressional lobbying from our viewpoints. It can be done, but it would take a few million in funding to drive the point home and maybe a few more tens of millions in campaign donations to turn around the right wrong-thinking people.

Musk is planning to put satellites in LEO, which gives you a roundtrip of 1 to 12 milliseconds (just light; not counting data processing), depending on placement. The 1.5 second ping exist only for current Internet satellites that are parked in GEO.
Just a reminder that this above everything else is Obama's legacy no matter how they try to re-write history.

So if you thought it was bad that the TSA can hold people without even a phone call to a lawyer, wait until they start putting people in prison over the TPP
I'm aware of Gnustep, so I was hoping someone would mention it. But I was hoping for more than one word. How many people are using it in production? Have they had good experiences or bad? What are the surprises they've encountered? Does it have ARC support? Can I use XCode to build with it?
I very nearly stopped reading at "congresscritters," which would have been a shame, because the rest of your comment is quite reasonable.

I like to use PaaS so it is good to see competition. It looks like a 512MB instance is about half way between Heroku hobby and professional plans: $7 to $18 to $25 per month.

I think the "against anything Obama supports" bit is probably a bit inaccurate if we were to drill down into the voting records in Congress.

But do they have very clear and blatant interests? You bet.

But it'll be a bit more complex than that I think, and I suspect you'll see voting coming down to a mix of local interests and public (including corporate) feedback.

Party allegiance will be secondary to an extent, and you already see that in the article. Orrin Hatch is a republican, and he's already stating his opposition due to what are likely local interests in pharmaceuticals. Trump is blasting it, but almost undoubtedly because that's what his support base wants to hear.

You'll have a lot of representatives and senators all saying that they have "deep reservations" until they get to see the final bill, and then some judgement call will be made between supporting their local industries vs the country's as a whole.

And ya know, really, that's kinda how it should work.

Musk lives in LA and takes his private jet up to San Jose every week to work at Tesla (then back to LA to work at SpaceX).

If anything, Musk has two full time jobs (priorities: 1. SpaceX; 2. Tesla; 3. everything else) and actually does 80-100 hours per week of work. He's not out creating vanity designer clothing lines in his spare time.

You can't create world class products or companies while maintaing a silly "because i'm so special i'll only work 6 hours a day, 4 days a week, 1 week a month" mindset.
Not really no. LEO is 160-2000km up; it takes light from 1 to 12 milliseconds to do a roundtrip there. This is an order of magnitude faster than it takes your phone or tablet to react to touch input. It'll be more than enough for interactive things.
I can't ask that they all be able in 1 day to create without aid, internet, or reference from a 286 and command line interface the source and compiled code for Mindows 2020. It is a wish that is unrealizable.

For the most part, the "sharing"/"gig"/"contractor"/"race to the bottom" economies are a result of generation-term poor economic times and skyrocketing income inequality resulting in fewer resources to go around and commodification of existing resources in order to make par. Sharing is far too innocent of a term, because really these "sharing" paradigms are another way of treading water. I hope that someone else has mentioned that before, but it seems absent in these discussions most of the time.

You think the rich need to share/borrow their power tools via the latest app? Pfft, they don't even need to think about power tools because they can hire tradesmen whenever needed. Sharing is for people who can't afford an expert or their own personal items.
Funny enough, that's what you get when you purchase an HP-49 (not even sure if it's still available, but it's what I bought for engineering school 13 years ago). The story goes that HP couldn't get a faster version of the (12MHz Saturn?) CPU in the '48, but wanted to release a faster version.

Since they couldn't get a faster compatible CPU but wanted to continue using their battle-hardened codebase, they decided to replace the CPU with a 200MHz ARM and write an emulator. I suppose that's maybe easier than trying to port a heavily optimized codebase to a new architecture. Plus, moving forward, you could write C code and compile it directly for ARM.

If I'm remembering right, I did manage to get a C "hello world" building with gcc before losing interest.
I mean in theory, that's what Uber is supposed to be. Drivers share space in their car while on the way to places, and make some spare change. In practice, drivers pick it up as a part time job and just drive around looking for pickups.
Yes and the factors are the costs of accepting the government granted monopoly pricing (free markets don't have government saying you can't sell this thing because some other people have gotten the government to say only they can sell it) and the costs of saying we don't accept the current patent system.

The costs of fighting the existing copyright/patent cartel led by the USA is very high. Countries want to avoid this and if the cost is diverting a few percent of their GDP to the USA's drug companies they likely will do so. If however that diversion because too great they will have huge incentive to decide the cost is too high and we have to fight the USA's governments policies put in place at the behest of their drug companies.

The costs will be enormous to the countries that fight, especially at first. The USA is enormously rich and can accept losses internally and use economic power to punish those defying it's dictates.

If several rich countries decide to align with India (which seems to be by far the leading advocate for fighting the copyright/patent cartel) costs to the USA will also get step. At some point step enough that others force the government to stop using the rest of the USA's economic clout to benefit the drug companies.

But I think it is very unlikely the other countries could sustain the losses long enough for the USA to cave. It is a big if, but if China grows well economically for the next 20 years it is much more likely India and China together could work together on this to bring together a large coalition.

I don't think China and India would work together as strong allies but they could come together in this area if the USA continues to demand large percentage of countries GDP be diverted to the USA drug companies.

All these types of things get complicated. It isn't as if the Drug companies don't understand this same path. They will obviously seek to use corruption in other countries as successfully as they have in the USA to get those governments to act in their interest for cash payments that are peanuts compared to the costs those governments will place on their citizens to benefit the drug companies.

The payments to corrupt political parties doesn't only work in the USA, it works most everywhere. So don't count out the insane movement of wealth into drug companies coffers changing anytime soon.

If you want to be practical buying stock in these companies will likely reward you well. That is what I have done. I can understand if you think it is repugnant to profit from corruption in the political system on such a massive scale (very little corruption ever impacts multiple percentage points of GDP but, as this does). That is likely a higher ethical decision, weighing my options I accept that "hit" to my karma. If I were given the authority to decide the policy I would make a decision that would harm my stocks but I am not given that option. And based on my estimates of likely future outcomes betting on the USA political parties staying very corrupt in relation to providing benefits to drug companies seems a very likely bet.

I wonder how many signatories will not even disclose it to their people. Given the track record of the US government to sign stuff before its read (we have to pass it...) and the gogogo of people who support that idea when they think they are getting something, I see no problem with Congress having so short a time dealing with it.

Funny how globalization was going to flatten the world for everyone. Turns out it doesn't actually include the plebs.

Capital gets to traverse the world - its factories spewing waste and arbitraging cost of living and currency differences in SE Asia, its profits reported in tax-resorts like Ireland and the Cayman Islands, and its protection guaranteed via the US Military courtesy of the US middle class.

But should a lowly citizen try to pull a stunt like importing a medicine from India or purchasing a text book from Hong Kong, well that's against the law.

As one of those who read through "Affordable Care Act", I dearly wish someone had done some proof reading before voting on it.

We can argue about whether or not that will really be the end result but I'd imagine quite a few of the participants are more concerned with their own gain than a rising global standard of living.
Those aren't good counterarguments in favor of Twitter.

Valleywag is dead because of reasons unrelated to the death of media (and I genuinely miss it). IRC backchannels are dead because IRC is dead.
Google used to have twitter results a long time ago. Then Google got a little pissy and decided they wanted to be The Only Social On The Internet and killed Twitter priority indexing (e.g. receiving the firehose). It was probably the most ineffectual attempted flexing of monopoly power in the history of monopoly abuse.

Now that Google realized they can't be good at everything (really, are they good at much besides a few focused things?), they're open to integration and collaboration on their not-so-competitive-advantages again.
Good job summarising the article, but from the leaked documents none of that seems to stand up to scrutiny. Just letting you know you are regurgitating bad info.
That is as accurate an assertion as saying that Obamacare enables death panels to ration health care.

A better way to describe the relevant clauses is that corporations can sue governments under an international tribunal system if governments are failing to uphold their commitments to an international law. It's basically the same sort of process that was used when, say, the US and Great Britain had a dispute about the boundary of Maine.

Carnivore feces are not considered to be advantageous for gardening and in the case of cat dumpings you also have the risk of toxoplasmosis to consider. Any manure you use for fertilizer should be well composted, as using fresh poop of any kind will tend to kill off your plants due to the high ammonia content and the heat of decomposition. Also, fresh herbivore poop tends to have undigested seeds in it which can lead to strange weeds in your flower beds.

Toxoplasmosis is dangerous to pregnant women, it is why they shouldn't do gardening for 9 months.
