Fantastic, I've read through your entire comment history :)

I'm familiar with OWL and RDF. I've been using Sparql and DBPedia, I'll switch to Sparql and Wikidata if you think that's the way to go. How do you see the overlap between DBPedia and Wikidata?

I'm concerned that there's going to be knowledge-grab by corporations and (perhaps) government entities. I fear that the knowledge graphs inside the big G and FB and Yandex and Apple and MS and so on to power their search engines and personal assistants will be orders of magnitude more sophisticated and complex and comprehensive that what will be available to open access research. Witness Freebase. Are my fears misplaced would you say?

I've read that SEP article, I've also read a good bit of Peirce's original journal article. As it says in SEP "It should be mentioned that for Peirce there is actually a trichotomy among types, tokens and tones,[...]" - I think it's amusing that basically everybody ignores the triadic distinction that Peirce claimed to be the case for a dualistic type/term distinction.

I'm looking forward to going through your tutorial quill in hand and pot of ink at the ready.
I would still be pretty comfortable at 20:1, but I probably wouldn't bet very much since the payout is so small.
I doubt they would give up that money stream in their current condition (automobiles for one market).

Well I said it. They put a 35 pixel notice at the top saying that you appear to be using an ad-blocker if you are, and give you the option to click to see what they think about it. I fail to see how they could make their thoughts obvious to those using ad-blocking in a less obtrusive manner.

The same could be said for Apple, who produces cell-phones which many people wish to have so they can communicate through the Cell Network.

Those who buy into this as opposed to building their own mesh network are "locked in" to the Apple ecosystem.
One caveat with these machine inspired knowledge: they are prone to error, probably more than humans, at least for now.

For example, if you train a CNN directly with human faces, its recognition rate comes way below what a human is capable of. Only after you apply tons of handcrafted optimizations, which are mostly black art, will you get close to or surpass a human's capability. Without much domain specific tuning, an AI's insight is far from reliable.
the "shuffle" station feature does exactly this.
It seems like a serious mistake to waste your money on ESR-code. The man's lifetime output of software could have been barfed out by any randomly-selected industry veteran in 2 weeks.

Writing all of those Slashdot comments and participating in lunatic-fringe demonstrations of openly carried firearms, of course, must have taken many years of full-time effort.
People said this about Rowhammer too.
The headline in question is pure clickbait as far as its relevance in the document is concerned. The argument in question was that Wikipedia was so large, and NSA so pervasive, that they had to be snooped on at some point. To which the judge pointed out three things:

1. Sure 1 trillion and .00000001% chance of chance leads to a ridiculously certain chance of interpretation. But if you add three 0's to the latter number, you get a mere 10% chance. Without any explanation of those numbers, this reads like they chose the smallest number that gave a ridiculously high number--in other words, the argument is an attempt at pure statistical bullshittery. (I do like the judges retort in particular: "The "speculative" reasoning foreclosed by Clapper cannot be avoided by dressing "a chain of possibilities" in the clothing of mathematical certainty when the calculation lacks a statistical basis."

2. This is only a footnote, but this also assumes that all communications are equally likely to be intercepted, which a priori reasoning would suggest is not the case.

3. It's actually irrelevant if their numbers are correct, because the numbers and thread of argument relies very heavily on a mere supposition that the NSA is using all of their tools in exactly the ways that they suppose, and this can't be used to show that the injury is "real and immediate" instead of "conjectural or hypothetical."

The most troubling part of the ruling to me is something that no one appears to have talked about in any comment section yet: the judge asserts that in these sorts of standing cases, a false negative (rejecting an actual injury as untrialable) is less damaging than a false positive (accepting as trialable something that didn't happen), and that judges should be inclined to err on the side of false negatives rather than false positives.
I like this idea. Where do I donate?
Wages are subject to the law of supply and demand, just like every other aspect of economic life. Since the CEO seems to be paying well above the going market rate, I doubt that this is sustainable for the long run. Yes, he's partially compensated for the imbalance by cutting his own pay, but it won't be enough. Also, the rapid growth of the company will also buy him some time, but that can't go on forever.
The article's author seems to know little about capitalist economics beyond the conventional wisdom, most of which is wrong or non-essential.
And if Rush Limbaugh did in fact call the CEO a socialist, then Rush Limbaugh doesn't understand what socialism is.
Having said all this, I would still like to see this company succeed, just like Henry Ford did many years ago with a similar tactic.
What's wrong with "mercurial Spaniard"?
The thing that makes them different is that they all get cancelled together, and the actor doing it is doing it in order to manipulate other actors in the market. Lots of laws hinge on intent.

Whether spoofing should be against the law I don't have much of an opinion on, but determining demand is a central component to price discovery, which is something we very much want the markets to be able to do appropriately, so if we allow blatant spoofing we need some other mechanism to account for that.

I'd think that de-anonymizing the orders would go a long way to making the spoofing problem go away. But that would be just one other way for large interests to have an advantage over smaller ones, as they would be the only ones able to account for "reputation" when determining their pricing.
Cleavage does not feature a lot in the top 100 actually, but I'm half way there, in a sense that I'm a female. I'll definitely try the half-forehead thing next time!
Many devices from many manufacturers communicate through the same network. I don't think your analogy holds:

> Those who buy into this as opposed to building their own mesh network are "locked in" to the Apple ecosystem

...or they just buy another phone from another vendor. No mesh network involved.
It produces semantic markup when it can, but in some cases such as font color, there is no semantic representation so it uses the most cross browser/application implementation, which is inline styles.
when i first read Saramago [1], i was impressed how he wrote with no punctuation or even capital letters, and how enjoyable and easy to read it was, it was definitely a breath of fresh air, only a few times it was hard to follow the story, mainly on dialogues i sometimes got lost who was saying what, overall his writing style made reading his novels a lot of fun, my feeling was more like listening to someone tell me a story directly, rather than having to get hold of the rhythm and style of the writer.

I think Mitch Martinez(OP/content creator) did a good job of making it clear to Sony/Epic that false copyright claims are not acceptable.

IANAL but maybe for next time he should include a "false copyright claim" fee (plus attorneys fees) in the original license agreement.

On a related topic, Dreamworks were trying to get a license release for the Noisebridge logo[0], but apparently had difficulty understanding the concept of "fair use". It was pretty funny.

Definitely.

Music for Programming: http://musicforprogramming.net/. Number 24 (RITES) is a particular favorite. I also recommend 1 and 3.

The soundtrack for Black Ops 2 gets a lot of play as does Halo 3 and also, the soundtracks for Ghost In The Shell or Solaris.
> But propaganda cuts both ways

You are absolutely correct. But wouldn't the U.S. behave badly, people in Venezuela would perhaps have little reason to vote for soft totalitarians like Chavez.

(I also think Hitler rose to power partly because he was one of the few politicians who were willing to call BS on the Germany's WW1 debt.)

I am not actually sure this will 100% prevents rise of authoritarians (given what is going on in Hungary), however, there is some difference in ideology, and also success, if you compare Marshall doctrine to Washington consensus.

Nations get a free pass on behaving badly abroad because of nationalism. Then they get more that they bargained for. Actually, when I think of it, this dynamic is not just between states, it also happens in different social classes as well (for example, policy of being tough on unemployed or drug users, which ultimately makes things worse).
>Be female. Women are consistently ranked higher than men. In particular, notice that there is not a single guy in the top 100.

This sounds true, but it can't be the real reason—selfies are ranked relative to the other images by the same user. So unless users are taking a lot of #selfies of people of different genders, we can assume the dataset is already controlled for the gender of the person in the image, no? Unless there's some confounding factor at play, such as some demographic segment being more likely to optimize for good selfies occasionally but have boring feeds the rest of the time.

would be super interesting, if the data is available, to normalize this by exposure. Of the people that saw an image, how many clicked "like"?
"Sour grapes" was in response to sibling comments here, not the original article!

The additional stuff you mentioned here--all of the annoying fiddly details for editing and whatnot--is exactly what should've been used to justify the stack.

The problem is that all of the extra stack baggage frankly looks really baroque, even with the trickiness of the UX you just hinted at.
Now I'm being the "kids these days"-guy, but there are codebases that contain much more old stuff than this one. Emacs is a good example, of course. But, I suppose the granddaddy of them all is CICS which has been in active development since the 60s.
Orwell wrote important and influential books but his actual writing was quite pedestrian - much more like a good journalist than a great literary stylist.

Thackeray, on the other hand, broke all of those rules (except perhaps the last) in almost every sentence in "Vanity Fair", and yet I know which I find the more pleasurable to read. I've also never put much stock in this notion of the evils of the passive voice - which thing Orwell himself seemingly struggled greatly to avoid.
It's funny you mention this, because pg himself has a bunch of filler words when he speaks. See random video of him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lcp0uZsY7k.
It was a nice surprise to see that a RISC-V port is in a semi-working state. I didn't expect anybody to bother with that until next year at the earliest since the supervisor mode spec is still a draft, but I guess commits are cheap.
How do you measure what the profits from his illegal trading was? It's not like he ran this one strategy unchanged for years -- only some percentage of his orders fall into non-bonafide.
The focus of the general public remains around Linux, so it's exciting to see so much progress on the BSD front. No need for a religious war, I'm happy to see both projects maturing as they are.
On the contrary, I write because I don't talk so well. When I try to explain an idea in person, it usually comes out jumbled and half-formed. In contrast, when I sit down to write it out, it becomes much more clear on both sides of the conversation, even if it sounds a bit robotic.

Many people I know are exceptionally good at talking precisely and at length about their interests. Sometimes I envy them. I've always wished I could spin out my thoughts at their speed. But I don't really think in sentences. Many of my ideas exist in a sort of impressionistic cloud that takes a lot of energy to translate into conversation. In that sense, writing is as much a form of physical thought as it is a tool of idea dissemenation.

Nonetheless, it's an interesting exercise to record a first draft of a long essay into a microphone and mine it for intersting bits of prose. I should really try it more often!
Putin's New Censorship Rules Will Weaken Russian Science
Other replies mention the atypical preparedness of presentation text; but I have noticed what you describe in normal life, in normal conversation: some people do indeed seem to speak as if they'd had a chance to revise the sentences / paragraphs in advance. Is it that they care more, and a lifetime's practice has resulted in that kind of automatic organization?
They also slaughter songbirds and other natural wildlife. Living in the country I'm torn. I like that they kill mice, but the fact they murder anything they stumble upon is pretty disappointing. It's unfortunate they aren't more "programmed" to kill pests vs. anything they see that appears to be weaker than they are.
The site isn't the thing that matters. Read the documents that WikiLeaks put out. It's the US policy toward Latin America going back a century.
...what? The vast majority of techies are whites and affluent Asian Americans. Are there even non-white techies to protest?
Yeah, female users probably post more pictures and also probably have more friends.
Who said Hemingway was convoluted? Certainly not me.
I keep using that name? I think that's the first time I've done that in decades.
So... they talk about "monopoly". In what world do they think the EU will allow that to fly? Or China for that matter? I'd say "or the US", but I think we all know they can easily grease those skids.
which is perhaps why he can "write as he talks", and get away with it. He honed his craft. I work with a few programmers who write exactly as they talk, and it is littered with misplaced, dangling modifiers, and misspellings of things like "bury the lead" vs "bury the lede". The overall structure of arguments is haphazard too. Writing is hard, and I think the best way to get better is to write things that you _want_ to get taken more seriously than just as if you were talking.
Can you prove that? There is evidence to the contrary.
President Obama, Carl Sagan, all of your favorite musicians, etc, etc, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a git clone involve downloading the project's entire git history as well as $CURRENT_VERSION? That seems a little excessive.
The article completely ignores the real reasons for US opposition to Castro, Allende, Chavez, Correa, Morales, et al. They were and are autocrats with programs of economic and social destruction. Critics are beaten and thrown in jail, wide swaths of the economy nationalized, wealth destroyed. Their economic programs lead only to empty shelves in supermarkets and widespread destitution and crime. In Venezuela, the murder rate is up 400-500% from when Chavez first took over. They can only find allies in the world among other enemies of human prosperity.

I think JFK captured the guiding principles best:

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the
survival and the success of liberty. [...] Let all our
neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose
aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let
every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to
remain the master of its own house.

Sometimes it's led to difficult and morally dubious decisions, like US support for Pinochet's coup against Allende in Chile. But we should consider the counterfactual. What if Allende had stayed in power? Chile would not be the beacon of stability and growth that it is today. Based on Allende's relationships with Castro and the Soviet Union, it would probably be a lot like Castro's Cuba, a society totally hollowed out by communism.

As an aside, the characterization of the situation in Greece is completely inaccurate too. Membership in the euroclub requires fiscal responsibility; governments can no longer rely on running the print presses to pay their debt. Greece continued to waste money it did not have, and was refusing the demands for budget discipline from the countries that were keeping it afloat.
The Myths of Philanthropy. Morals Not Markets Make Us Give
I'm not sure if I'm using the terminology correctly but to me Microsoft Word and Google Docs are word processors. They offer a whole new level of formatting capabilities with thousands of options to support that goal, with a feature set so complete they are products all by themselves.

The use cases I mentioned utilizes composing text, but that's not the main product. If you want to build a CMS, add in app messaging, add formatting to textboxes, then Quill could be the answer. If you want to build the next Google Docs, out of the box Quill will probably not be enough.
I take it you're not from the Eurozone, because this is no laughing matter.

It is kind of like FED deciding not to provide dollar liquidity to, say, California, just because people didn't recall Joseph Davis.
This sort of thing is taught to school children in China, but completely foreign to Western audiences. We might test if these associations vary across cultures. Might Chinese people smoke more yet have a lower incidence of psychosis?

Here's a transcript of a Paul Graham speech.

http://genius.com/Paul-graham-lecture-3-counterintuitive-par...

So yeah, it's conversational in that he uses words like "noob" and "dude" and "bullshit". And yes, Google finds examples of his written works that use these words too.

But not everyone talks like Paul; perhaps Neil Oliver says things like "mercurial Spaniard" when he talks. It's kind of a nice feature of language that different people can use words differently. I'd rather Paul's examples were more of the corporate anti-speak variety like "maximizing synergies" and the like.
By default, yes. But you can use the --depth option to limit it to a clone of the most recent state.

"This is Jeff from Fight for the Future. I wish we could disclose our sources for this, but unfortunately we agreed not to. Multiple sources on the hill have reported that Facebook is THE tech company lobbying in favor of CISA, several offices have heard from Facebook that they support CISA.

"Facebook themselves has declined to take up our offers to take a public position thus far. The nature of this lobbying game is that people leak information because they can't come out and reveal who they talk to and give information to. I know that sucks, but we decided it was better to put out the information we can than to just keep it to ourselves. And, what they are doing now matters to what ends up happening. So, that's why we're asking Facebook to tell us what their position is and to come clean.

"Facebook was probably the loudest supporter of early versions of CISA, until it became unpopular. Then they went silent. Unlike all the other big tech companies that have come out against CISA, Facebook is still silent. Their top Senate lobbyist comes straight from the office of CISA sponsor Sen. Richard Burr, and "cybersecurity issues" is listed on her lobbying disclosures. The publicly available information about Facebook's position on CISA just supports what we know -- Facebook is one of the major forces pushing for this bill to pass."
"CISA would give companies like Facebook legal immunity for violating privacy laws as long as they share information with the government."

Whether or not Facebook is secretly lobbying for CISA, the article describes the way the incentives look.
Remote jobs - Upwork (formerly oDesk, with Elance joining it shortly).

If you have some portfolio, you can try monthly "Who's hiring/Who wants to be hired/Seeking freelancer" threads here on HN, the next would be in just a few days:

You've got pretty impressive range of skills, and at least PHP/frontend are very remote-friendly, with enough demand on the resources I added above.

Since you're familiar with C++ and competitive programming, you might also try things like TopCoder/CodeEval; it's more about competition, but the corporate sponsors are watching competitors and might hire the best.

My email is in my profile, feel free to get in touch if you have more questions. Best of luck!
While I disagree with the authors sentiment as a whole; this issue could be solved by using a shallow clone.
The problem tarballs solve is bundling files together. That use-case will probably be with us for awhile even if it has fallen out of favor for source code.
I realize it's a bit of a nitpick, but I kind of like the "heavy metal umlaut" in "reëvaluating" in the first paragraph. In context:

> [...]cats seem to be constantly reëvaluating the merits of our relationship, as well as their role in domestic life

It sort of emphasizes that cats evaluate things differently than we do :)
Jeff from FFTF on “Facebook may be the secret force behind CISA”
Ironically git actually supports TAR for this exact thing: git archive exports tar files.

You can do a low depth to minimize that if you want (--depth=1 or something like that if I remember correctly). You could just rm -rf the root .git directory after but that is a download bloat issue.

That said this should work:

git clone --depth=1 --branch=master git://myrepo && rm -rf myrepo/.git`

but.. yeah. Not really great.
Dee Hock wanted to extend ownership, defined as 'nontransferable right of participation', to merchants and cardholders, but that was too much for the mental models in 1970, and even challenges our mental models today: VISA's cooperative/competitive ownership structure lasted until 2007, when it devolved into traditional shareholder ownership via IPO.

This project is a great little proof of concept. However, if the electronics still seem a little inaccessible or you don't want the hassle; the NodeMCU[1] dev board compresses all those components (ESP8266, USB, buttons & GPIO) onto a easy to use board for ~$12 USD. I'd highly recommend it.

However, you'll need a breadboard and a button to complete the project.

The good news is that FB has behaved so poorly that almost no one I know uses it or trusts it any more, so we know that in the long run at least this kind of behavior doesn't work.
No, the US supported plenty of Latin American autocrats with programs of economic and social destruction -- Noriega, Pinochet, etc. It opposed the ones it opposed for geopolitical and anti-communist ideological reasons, which are also the reasons it supported the ones it supported. Being autocrats with destructive programs wasn't a factor, except insofar as it was a positive factor in that a=corrupt autocrats are simpler to manage as pawns than leaders genuinely concerned with the interests of their people.
