I understand where you're coming from, but accusing Reuters of manipulating the headline to suit some kind of political agenda is a bit disingenuous. Remember that news organizations have style guides and (mostly) adhere to them strictly -- you wouldn't say "MLB player Pete Rose reinstated after 25-year ban for gambling" because Pete Rose is not an active MLB player, so why would you do so here?

From the Reuters Handbook [1]:

>ex-

Make sure this prefix is hyphenated to the word it limits. Note the difference between a Conservative ex-minister and an ex-Conservative minister. Prefer “former” in written text , e.g., “Former Brazilian finance minister Jorge Braga was killed on Tuesday when...” “Ex-” may be used for brevity in headlines, e.g., “Ex-minister killed in Brazil air crash.”

HATEOAS

I love the idea of HATEOAS, but in the end, I've never found I cared enough to jump through the hoops of using it (ie it didn't offer enough value for the work it would take), which in turn meant that the effort of implementing it on the server seemed too expensive too.

I agree with you that they probably will not save money and I also agree with you that Word and Excel are the better products. However, I do like that there is money going from government to Open Source software. I know a lot will get stuck in consulting firms but this is bound to improve LibreOffice and I believe it's better to use public money to improve open source projects than it is to pay Microsoft and keep getting sucked into their ecosystem.

Public money should be spent on open (source) software. File formats should be exchangeable and switching providers shouldn't be intentionally difficult.

I would have gone with Lua, personally, specifically eLua, but this is still pretty awesome.. for those who have the micro:bit already, whats it like? Do any of you guys have experience with giving one to kids and seeing what they do with it?

I'll get one for my kids eventually .. but for sure, I'd imagine eLua to be high on the list of things to get running on it.

EDIT: Lua would be better than Python, imho, because it doesn't require an editor for young minds to harness before they can get working code .. my experience with my 5 and 8 year old kids is that they absolutely are not interested in programming if everything has to line up right - as is the case with Python - but if there are less restrictions imposed on them by the language, the interest flourishes. To me, while Python is an easy language to learn, Lua is a better language to start with .. so if I were a micro:bit user, I'd be putting Lua/eLua on it ..
I think there's a misconception here about the CA model.

Let's Encrypt users (in almost every respect) are not more exposed to risks of Let's Encrypt misissuing certificates. (They are more exposed to risks of Let's Encrypt wrongly revoking a certificate, but that creates an availability risk rather than an integrity or confidentiality risk.) In particular, Let's Encrypt never has access to your server's private key or to your TLS session keys. There is no way that Let's Encrypt could take a recorded TLS session and tell somebody how to decrypt it; what we have are signing keys, and all that they ever do is sign things (normally claims about other keys that could be used for other purposes).

Although Let's Encrypt, like any CA, could issue an additional fake certificate which someone who controls your network could use to impersonate you, any site is already exposed to this risk from every CA, whether or not the site uses Let's Encrypt. Let's Encrypt could issue a fake certificate in the name of a site that uses StartSSL or Verisign -- or Verisign or StartSSL could issue a fake certificate in the name of a site that uses Let's Encrypt.

As I've said a number of times in a number of contexts, the people working on the Let's Encrypt project don't think that this model is perfect, and many of us have been involved in expressing concerns about CAs' power in the past. As a result, we're working to limit Let's Encrypt's own power to misissue certificates by participating in the Certificate Transparency system, and hopefully by adopting and encouraging our users to adopt other technologies that will protect them against misbehavior by CAs, including us.

We encourage our users (and non-users) to adopt technologies that would reduce the need to trust us, including HPKP, which lets sites themselves make assertions about what keys they'll use, which browsers will then enforce even if CAs say something different, and Certificate Transparency, which lets people confirm that certificates they encounter in the wild have been publicly disclosed worldwide by the CA that issued them.

If you have other ideas for how CAs can be made less trusted, more transparent, and more accountable, we would love to hear them! And let me express my appreciation for the people who have been working to create the means that we have to do this today.

(If you're not a Let's Encrypt user and want to protect visitors to your site against risk of misissuance of a certificate by Let's Encrypt -- or any other CA! -- you can also adopt CAA and HPKP, to give visitors a browser-side way to enforce your intentions about what certificates they should be accepting.)
>What if all the authors of culturally/historically significant works throughout history had thought like that?

Nothing much would have change, since it wasnt up to them whether their works surviced, it was up to their "fans".

In fact, if they had thought like that it would have helped, since they would have assisted this process (trying themselves to get their works preserved).

Besides, 99% of the internet is not culturally or historically significant except in the broadest sense (in which everything is, as an artifact of its era, etc..).

Free will is a scalar dimension along which decision choosing algorithms can vary.

With high free will, human can adapt, customize, and innovate situationally optimized responses to an unpredictable environment. With low free will, a Sphex wasp can reactively activate one of its stored patterns and use very little expensive cognitive processing to react optimally in a predictable environment.
Yeah - [Open]SSH supports signing for host and user keys, and you can operate your own CA, and the certificates you issue can encode a signed set of permissions/access controls with them (E.g permit-agent-forwarding, permit-X11-forwarding, certificate life times) this functionality is IMHO vastly underutilised.

OpenSSH certificates are not X509 certificates though, and out of the box SSH servers will not trust any public authority.

Also, AFAIK CA cross-signing, intermediates and other things that are fairly commonplace in X509 land are either not supported or not widely supported in OpenSSH.

I don't think this distinction is especially relevant in this context. Let's Encrypt also has a brand that depends on its integrity, and if you're concerned about attempts to coerce certificate misissuance, they apply at least as strongly to for-profit entities.

I think you meant to say country.

It seems to me the long term upside is way bigger with open standards and open source software.

I would be curious to see how the finances work over the long haul; this year they might not save a whole bunch but what about over a five year term?

> For example, we do that in operating systems, where operating system itself is deterministic but each application lives in non-deterministic environment, because it doesn't know what other applications or processes are running inside the system.

This may be a bit nit-picky, but if i understand correctly, the fact that other agents in the system influence the one you understand in ways you don't is not the same as non-determinism. Arguably, if you knew the exact system date and all other software installed, you could predict exactly how your program would behave. It's just because most systems are sloppily specified (if at all, mind) that this isn't how it works.

But maybe i'm missing something fundamental ;).
Yes! Kotlin and Ceylon are both really interesting, as attempts to judiciously add and remove features to/from Java, to produce something recognisable, and easy for the unwashed masses (ie me) to pick up, but still much better.

My only concern is that they don't have much depth of community or history yet. That can be a very interesting and rewarding time to pick up a language, but it can also be a drag on actually getting things done.
Bleah.

As far as the feds are concerned, as long as you're not "in the business", you're OK, and these buybacks tend to be rare and one offs. In practice and from their viewpoint, the first case of valuable guns is OK because there don't tend to be too many of them and there can be many different people doing this for any one buyback, in the latter case it tends to be FFLs who play that game since they can easily have a collection of junker guns they've bought but that didn't sell.

I read the article about being less about free will and more about delayed gratification. Which seems ironic, since from a neural standpoint, can be one of the most addictive things possible.

Not really that compatible with free will in my view.

To slightly contradict myself, I don't think it's quite fair too say that the ability to wait for something can be an indicator of free will, since that characteristic can vary a lot, even among healthy adults. And describing some humans as having more free will than others appears very dangerous to me.

Yes, we should plan and prepare for non uk workers leaving. Just as for uk workers. But that is no way to build a team, saying, "dont do anything that we cannot hide someone else to do just as well". That's a race for the bottom.

You hire the best you can, trust them as much as you can and push them as far as you can. The results almost always pay you back. If that process will come to a natural halt on its own rhythms then fine. But When halfway through this process the men in black knock on the door and chuck your people out, phrases like "should have prepared better" aren't much help.

Every start up has people that it relies on - eventually they automate themselves away, and move on tot the next thing you totally rely on. But take them away for whatever reason and you is stuffed.

If immigration rules say ... You can lose that person with not a lot of notice, then really they are saying, only hire British.

That's not really true. If the company goes bust, it doesn't affect your net worth at all. All that happens is one revenue stream dies, and you are free to replace that revenue stream. Your total portfolio doesn't go down at all. For most changes in share price you are completely insulated.

> Free will is just a mechanism of finding a path between the set of natural forces operating inside our mind, including all the range of motivations, from basic instincts to sublimated aspirations.

Then, unless you are positing some kind of outside force, the free-will-mechanism is also a natural force and a component of our brains and describing it as "free will" is not really sensible, since it is neither "free" except in a very limited sense nor a "will".

I prefer to say that the thing we call "free will" is simply a confusion of ideas and it doesn't really make sense to talk about free wills or unfree wills. That's often the case with longstanding philosophical problems, which often began with superstition and then had centuries of extremely intelligent people devising concepts and arguments to justify and validate them. With free will, the problem is complicated by the fact that people do have a feeling of free will.

.. which are vastly incomplete, themselves, because we have not reached the limit for where the atoms stop and the particles begin, and even beyond that, there is much evidence that we have not gotten, in fact, to the bottom of things.

>The counter argument requires 'magic' in the form of something that we can control that can't be measured. That's a big ask for any rational scientist.

Good thing rational scientists are willing - pun intended - to continue the investigation and discover just what it is we have not measured, and cannot measure, until we decide to do so.

Can decisions be weighed? Do they have mass, energy, substance? Does a decision exist somewhere in the universe, or is it able to move around the physical universe unhindered by physics? It could be argued that there are no definitive answers to those questions ..
I think GP meant that registration will make people much less willing to get into the hobby, which will dry out the revenue for quadcopter-making companies, making them raise prices or close shop altogether. The few people who really want to play with those machines will prefer to order cheaper DIY kits, and since you can't effectively regulate the components they'll be flying whatever they could get assembled instead of tested constructions with proper safety measures. Also almost no one will bother to register DIY drones, since FAA won't fund an army of inspectors to check for license every time someone takes a quadcopter to the park.

That's how I understood the comment.
I worked for two years in a ex RAF barracks. Not corrotated iron but the idea is we don't need to be in the south east or even in particularly fine accommodation - good enough is good enough when you are striving upwards.

When they succeed there will be folks wanting to build a better glass and steel edifice overlooking fine country side - and rent out a small part of it to help with the mortgage.

My biggest tech-envy went to a guy who had parlayed a freelance gig into a firm and built a small set of buildings out on farm land backing onto his house. It overlooked the best part of Essex, and was just how a "campus" should be - even if it was just twenty people.

Not an office, not a house, but a tech based, well it was nice and I wanted not to work there but to copy him.

I still do ...
Half-humorously: maybe guns can save quadcopters? Let's encourage people to make flying handguns and thus turning the drone debate into gun control issue, at which point we can rest safe that it won't be resolved for the next couple of decades.
If existing work flows are based around e.g. using Excel macros as data analysis programs or Excel spreadsheets as databases would it not be better to convert these work flows to programs and databases and leave office type programs to do what they are actually designed for i.e. document creation and quick one off data manipulation.
I wasn't arguing anything just asking a question.

But I will say that, without any numbers, its hard for me to say either way. Clearly, RSA was in independent legal entity, but a $x million dollar check didn't stop them from peddling shoddy crypto… though that's not something surprising to hear in this community.

That's true in many fields and particularly quadcopters are, as far as I can tell, just like 3D printers - the entire industry exists because some hobbyists started making DIY models accessible to general public, and someone saw a new market in that.
Insider information is known but non-public. I think it's more appropriate to describe this as forward-looking. I.e. we are getting an insight into things that haven't even happened yet!
