Weren't there also thousands of tariffs removed? The economic advantages of that might outweigh any loses from tighter copyright, and I suspect was the carrot the US used to get all the copyright concessions. Everyone wants to export to the US but the US is traditionally too protectionist.

Looking on the bright side of copyright. You never have to use somebody else's copyright work. You can always just make your own if you really want. Using somebody else's is just easier but not obligatory. See the popularity of open source software as a recourse against copyright restrictions on the commercial equivalents.

> I am glad I work in a meritocracy-based industry where anyone with any background can "ship" and succeed, and that has a low tolerance for bullshit.

This might be the most delusional thing I've read in this entire thread, and that's saying something. You can't take a look at founders of successful startups and sincerely tell me that anyone with any background can succeed. The whole idea of a startup excludes huge portions of the population (and I'm not talking about technical skills). Low tolerance for bullshit? The startup world is like 90% bullshit.

Your characterization of academia is way too exaggerated. Leaving academia has always been a semi-permanent move. There is no other job quite like academia, so unless you've done something truly amazing with your outside adventures then your resume is going to be inferior to people who have direct experience in the field. It's only logical.
I don't have any figures for you right now, but routing is certainly a different problem than what is described in this article as routed packets don't need to be passed to userspace for any processing.

When I said that sites don't realize the value they generate, I didn't mean that they don't get something else out of the deal. Google Analytics is a genuinely useful service, for example.

I suspect that a lot of sites aren't thinking hard about the tradeoffs, though. The benefits of using these services are immediate and obvious, whereas the costs are rather more subtle.

I heard a fascinating talk last year by John Gruber about ways of monetizing content outside the usual sell-tracking-rights-and-accept-ad-bids model. (Check out what he does at http://daringfireball.net/feeds/sponsors/. The whole site seems to be entirely devoid of third-party tracking.)

To me, code is much more of a long term threat to the power structure than intellectual property theft is. I'm wondering how long before we have government-sanctioned libraries, languages, and chipsets that we may develop for. I see this TPP as power consolidating ahead of any looming citizen revolt in order to chop it off at the knees. It's very weird and awesome to watch.

I do chuckle about all this though because these moves are so clumsy and obvious. And recently the spokesmouths of the powerful have been SO ineffective. The Jade Helm scare-o-tron rollout was completely botched and scrapped as far as I can tell. Selling a war with Syria was also completely botched. Kerry has been a fool as sec. of state and never met a war he didn't like, talks about going to war all the time to the press with no context. CIA and arms deals in Benghazi and the sloppy coverup around that, we FUBAR'ed Libya for no good reason. Obama openly threatening whistleblowers like a douche. Republican establishment is losing its grip on the reins and losing containment of the growing number of dissenting voices. If I were the archons in power behind the scenes, I'd be concerned.

As a developer, if I wanted to - REALLY wanted to - I feel like I could upend all of their power and diminish their relevance. I wouldn't do it with anarchy or hacktivism or whatnot because that destruction is desperate and ultimately self-defeating. Instead, I'd take the constructive route and build an alternate system to the internet that resists regulation and rewards the decentralization of server computing power and storage.

I have a day job that pays just fine and I live a peaceful life with my family where I get to enjoy a lot of personal freedom. I don't take a lot of action today other than to avoid the social networks like the plague. I think the trigger for me to act will be when my ox gets gored somehow by these new regulations. Or, perhaps if we go to war with some rogue state who dares violate the intellectual property rights of Disney, etc.
It takes about five minutes on any broker that shows the full book to see orders vanish outside the market as it moves. Obviously you haven't bothered to do that before commenting. If those orders were real and not just fake demand they won't vanish so consistently.

Here's a good article for you to read: http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-10-02/prosecutors...

There's a reason why they made spoofing illegal. The problem is, that you can't tell the difference between spoofing and just market making, especially as the algos get particularly complex. And when you start looking at in aggregate you see the real problem.
NRZ isn't necessarily self clocking. Encodings like Manchester can be, though.
I thought so too, but the occasional restriction (e.g. Namecheap prevent using WhoisGuard on .ca/.uk domains) makes it seem like the technique isn't generally applicable.

On second glance the submitted article doesn't specifically mention WHOIS - perhaps i just read too far into it and it's only intended to stop junk data, which is a lot more defensible.
Has the status page itself stopped updating? The daily app server availability was updating for a few minutes, but has not updated for about ~20 minutes.
Do you just monitor the service status boards? Or do monitor the actual services? I ask because several services will frequently be down or impacted for at least 30-60 minutes before they update their status boards, which by then is far too late to take action.

> By the time these countries have been exploited, then robotics will have taken over and most everyone will be unemployed.

Do you think the world is running out of problems to be solved? I don't particularly, so automation doesn't concern me per se. I am concerned that we need to address mobility and people's chances to learn new things, so that people are able to work on whatever problems need working on.
And learning the difference between clock recovery and self clocking is always fun too right? The cool thing about NRZ is that it was commonly used in Floppies and tape drives so there are lots of circuits to look at and get a feel for how it works.

> By the time these countries have been exploited.

While I agree with many of your points, and certainly there are many people who get exploited. But overall, if employers and employees are agreeing to mutual employment terms without coercion, then by definition it is not exploitation.

Additionally, things robotics and 3D printing are different than events like the industrial revolution which a large amount of capital was required. The owners of robotics and computing will be much more distributed and require less capital.

Brining people into the middle class with the modern infrastructure and stability that comes with is a really great thing. Robotics will only augment the quality of life for these people, freeing up massive amounts of human potential.
Take a look at Ember.js. Seriously. Performance is now on par with React (I think the core developers are secretly in love with React and try to bring all good ideas into Ember). By using it you get the whole front-end package by default (ES6 (modules!), CSS preprocessor, promise based data store, awesome debugging tools, generators, everything perfect out of the box. It follows conventions so every Ember app is structured in the same way. Upgrade cycles are a breeze and they follow SemVer.

Fan of Segment. Their team are super helpful. Recommend it. I've not really found a reason yet to not like them. Sure sometimes you need a lit bit of ad-hoc work, but the benefits outweigh the costs in my opinion. Sometimes the engineers aren't in charge of the decision making process on analytics, so selling management an "insurance" policy, which is how I see Segment, is very powerful to get things done. Service provider not working out for you? Switch it. No code changes.

Also, I don't believe the argument you can get away with one provider. MixPanel told me they don't do emojis in email subjects because their CEO doesn't approve of it. Don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I kid you not I have that email and instantly made me look elsewhere for email service - why should 1 person dictate my companies marketing strategy? Segment prevented a lot re-work for this.

Anyway, in short, Segment is good for the market because it means services have to up their game as lock-in isn't as strong...except for Segment's!
Only the status pages. I have a hope that having more eyeballs on the status pages will increase the provider's responsiveness to posting on them, because you are absolutely right that some do it as an afterthought.

The use case that brought me to create this was a bug I was dealing with involving the Facebook API. After hours of debugging I decided to check Facebook's status page and realized they had long prior published an issue they were experiencing.
We use Segment and love it. It keeps our code simple and makes it easy for us to turn on and off services (especially for non-technical team members), their debugger makes QA'ing instrumentation really efficient, and their team is amazing and really helpful.

You joke but one nice use of them is a simplified system interface which can allow a traditional OS to give such processes significantly lower privileges, e.g. to sandbox something like mplayer. Unikernels make it possible to play with where you put a bunch of code that would otherwise need to be in the kernel or reimplemented.
RocksDB has the same problems as LevelDB (uses large numbers of file descriptors, considerable read overhead compared to LMDB), plus it's even more complex and harder to configure. I had high hopes for the LSM tree from SQLite4[1], but last I checked development was stalled.

> But overall, if employers and employees are agreeing to mutual employment terms without coercion, then by definition it is not exploitation.

However, not all coercion is someone putting a literal gun to your head. Labor is systemically coerced due to having an inferior negotiating position.

It is called exploitation when it is much more important for the employees to get (and keep) the job so they can survive, especially when people are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They can't afford to negotiate, because even trying to do so might get you denied the job, and not be able to eat.
> Are we essentially witnessing the death of the operating system?

It depends what you mean by "death". Chester's First Law applies. Some code, somewhere, is responsible for the services traditionally provided by an OS.

The elephant in the room I don't hear people discussing is the impending spectre of deflation. If the labor supply diminishes what happens to aggregate demand? Judging from the example of Japan, demands implodes as fewer people buy goods and services because they aren't working! This deflates the currency and pushes the economy in recession.

Most of the developed world is sloughing off huge portions of its working populations. For example, Italy is set to halve its workforce in the next decade. There are huge economic, social, and political ramifications.

This is cool but I still scratch myself as to what I'd want to use this for.

Most often, I need UI, because I need to be monitoring flowing information + take action when/where need be.

In that sense, what would be more useful is a framework giving an interface like the old Norton Commander or Htop. Is there any thing like that in node?
A common practice while working on a Haskell code base is to fill in not-yet-completed functions with `undefined`, which is a divergent expression. This lets you do things like write:

func = undefined --TODO: implement func

and then you can use func in the rest of your code and as long as nothing strictly evaluates the results of func, you don't have to care about the fact that it's not yet defined. This lets you verify that the rest of your program still compiles properly, for example.

This means that preserving the lazy evaluation of undefined expressions matters. For example, it's perfectly OK to do this in ghci:

Prelude> let myfunc = undefined::(Integer -> Integer)
Prelude> let ints = [1, 2, 3]
Prelude> let results = map myfunc ints
Prelude> let square x = x * x
Prelude> let results_squared = map square results

All of this is fine because nothing has actually forced any computation to occur, but I still get the benefits of asserting that my expressions are well-typed. If I actually force evaluation by asking ghci to show a result, I'll get an error:

Prelude> results_squared
[* Exception: Prelude.undefined

But it matters that this only happens when I actually force the computation somehow.
How is that comment relevant?

It's concerning that such a low sample was published in Nature. One can imagine a similarly underpowered study showing that a direct injection of HIV does not cause seroconversion, because the two or three samples happened to have CCR5-D32.

Here are my thoughts on the topic: http://yansh.github.io/articles/phd-distruption/
I think it's not specific to Haskell but more specific to CS papers. More accessible (and a bit more ranty) material quickly gets a number of comments, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10300213
The "motivation" should come from a genuine curiosity and interest in making the world a better place. Academia, even western academia, is often motivated by securing more funding so they can....secure more funding. That creates a closed loop that serves no one outside of it.

The US News report just shows who is better at gaming the system. Heck, even MIT has its problems, though you'll find more pockets of genuine interest and capabilities. Tsinghua also has a lot of great researchers, but usually this is inspite of, not because of, the games played to optimize for these metrics.
Market makers have obligations to maintain a two sided market, in all market conditions.

HFT have no such obligation, and so, when there are rapid shifts in prices, may just wait out the chaos.

HFT gets the benefit of taking the spread, without having to pay the cost of ensuring orderly markets.

The example I like is the farming revolution. There was a point when only 97% of people worked on farms. Now that's flipped. Only 3% of people work on farms. Are those 97% without jobs and nothing to do? No, of course not. The economy expanded and new industries emerged that nobody expected. The (farming) machines unlocked massive amounts of human potential. I don't expect the robotic/software/3D revolution to be any different. I'm pretty optimistic about what's coming.

I wonder if they included sexy images in their negative training sets -- many videos accrue millions of views (and ad dollars) by having a few frames of cleavage interspersed with other (often derivative) footage.

It would be great if their algorithm picked a thumbnail that reflected the entire video, not just a few frames specifically chosen to game people's compulsive clicking.

"a leak like this comes from someone high up..."

Not necessarily. This information could have come from some low-level employee who happened to overhear a conversation between two managers.

The CEO and his inner circle of executives can't just lay off hundreds of employees on their own. They need to involve lots of lower-level managers in this planning, since upper management generally has no idea what each employee is doing and how essential they are to the company. So they ask each of their direct reports to make a list. And once dozens of people know that layoffs are coming, it's difficult to keep it a secret.
This is a little different. I think the disclosure is important. Maybe they could just be more succinct with it.
> “International data transfers are the lifeblood of the digital economy,” said Townsend Feehan, chief executive of IAB Europe, which represents online advertising companies including Google as well as small start-ups.

A typical reaction for some, sigh.

They can have all the certainty they want. Just stop transfers and they will be certainly stopped. But somehow I suspect it's actually not uncertainty which worries them.
Same deal with videoing stuff off TV, in the days when people did that. Illegal in most jurisdictions, investigated and punished in none.
That is an excellent point.

The key, then, would be to distinguish and reward such primary innovation. Maybe it's obvious when you see it. Or maybe do some Bates thing with panels of experts.

I see the TPP as part of the obsolescence of the nation state in favor of global corporate governance. The incompetence you mention fits in with this-- those boobs are just leftovers from the old system.

Lets think this through in terms of goods and services.

Supposing jobs are all fully automated, we will have two categories of good in the world - robots and consumer goods. Presumably the rich own the robots and direct the robots to produce consumer goods which are sold to the non-rich.

Why is this "misery" for the rest of the world? If we redistributed, then people would now own some shares of Robot Production, Inc. How does that eliminate "misery"?
