Living in Cambodia for a few years now, and I can definitely say that this is true. I always make the comparison of how in Western society, it is custom that a man carries the bags / does the heavy lifting; he doesn't feel bad about it, and it would upset him if he saw his wife / girlfriend / etc do heavy lifting instead of him, even when she's perfectly capable of doing so.
It's specially not a big deal considering they shipped with iOS 9 who stutters in UI operations. Hardware is nothing without software and it seems Apple is forgetting that more and more every year in search of revenue.
Geckoboard part was relatively easy - they have a nice interface to design beautiful looking dashboards.

Main magic was in the data pipeline. We tagged products that are Black Friday specific as seen on the merchant specific "Black Friday" category pages and other aggregators. These sites' pages were checked and the products' prices updated more frequently than our regular pipeline.

Everything ran as part of the Semantics3 infrastructure but at the last step we piped the updated information of the Black Friday specific products to a separate Postgres DB as well and that allowed us to run fancy queries that could answer almost any kind of questions we have about the data.

So our current sprayer covers ~70ha/hr. That means we need a fleet of 18 drones to match it. That's 270k + the associated inferstructure costs. If there not fully autonomous you'll also need to pay someone $30-$40/hr to stand around an continually refill, program and move them from paddock to paddock. As well as ensure there aren't miss sprays, crashes, spray drift onto neighbour paddocks etc. However given the flight time is <20 minutes you'll need far more than 1 person for that, maybe 2 or 3.

We can hire a spray plane for $12/ha, or a contract sprayer (self propelled boom) for slightly less than that.
I think the attitude is that it's an act of civil disobedience when it's perceived to be stealing from a big corporation or business entity. When it's a little guy, then HN jumps to their defense. Well, unless the little guy is a musician, in which case, fuck them and their art which should be free. They need to figure out how to make money some other way.
Yes, a week is far to slow. We need to be able to spray multiple paddocks a day, and respond to weather events quickly. I.e you may to want to spray a few thousand hectares in anticipation, or right after a rainfall event.

Hilariously, the two justifications for Eich as you've presented them would paint Hitler as moral. As Feynman was fond of reiterating, there is a vast difference between naming something and understanding something, and you've illustrated his point perfectly.

As you're no doubt well aware, marriage rights encompass many other legal rights, and denying those rights is granting gays a form of second-class citizenship. This official form of discrimination combined with the private sector hate they receive for not being in a protected class causes gays ti have a higher rate of suicide than the rest of the population, continuing Turing's tradition.

> Movies cost tens of millions to make and employ hundreds if not thousands.

Couldn't have put it better myself: movies are a pretty small part of the economy, despite the spectacle. Box office takings in the US in 2014 were only about $10B in total - that's really not that big an industry, and high tech in particular eats those numbers for breakfast (insubstantial things like Instagram get bought for $1B, for example). Even if you throw in licensing and merchandising, it doesn't move the needle all that much.

Some comparative examples from other industries - the NYC Port Authority budget for 2015 was about $8B in size; Lowe's hardware has about a $50B turnover annually; the University of Pittsburgh had $2B in revenue for 2014; John Deere had $40B in revenue in 2013. All of these are single-company examples from larger industries, but the numbers give some context to the actual economic oomph of Hollywood.

And not only that, but when you see a movie and see all those names scroll by at the end? Those folks aren't all in full-time jobs. It's not like a movie keeps all the employees in permanent full-time employment. Most of the money that movies make don't go to employing people, but to the profiteers at the top.

So, in short, movies don't make that much money in context, and aren't the wide-ranging employers you're painting them as. They do however make a lot of noise and have an unbelievable amount of political power, given their relative lack of economic might. We don't see Lowe's pressuring the government to enact treaties on their behalf...

> Henry David Thoreau wrote that "[i]t is hard to have a Southern overseer; it is worse to have a Northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself."

> Some abolitionists in the United States regarded the analogy as spurious. They believed that wage workers were "neither wronged nor oppressed". Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans argued that the condition of wage workers was different from slavery, as laborers were likely to have the opportunity to work for themselves in the future, achieving self-employment. The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared, "now I am my own master", upon taking a paying job. But later in life, he concluded to the contrary, "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other". Douglass went on to speak about these conditions as arising from the unequal bargaining power between the ownership/capitalist class and the non-ownership/laborer class within a compulsory monetary market. "No more crafty and effective devise for defrauding the southern laborers could be adopted than the one that substitutes orders upon shopkeepers for currency in payment of wages. It has the merit of a show of honesty, while it puts the laborer completely at the mercy of the land-owner and the shopkeeper.".

At least in the U.S., the First-sale doctrine[0] is very important, enabling things like libraries and re-selling things you purchase. That is, you can't make a stipulation like that.

They're only claiming academic insofar as they facilitate learning through the videos. Not sure this qualifies as real academia - they are not an accredited school or university nor do they have teachers on staff or any other normal infrastructure. It's just a site that hosts videos for sale.

But what difference does it make - it's the classic user provided content model and all the issues it comes with that's causing the problem here. No company, academic or otherwise, wants infringement and if there was a perfect solution then everyone would use it, however it's just not feasible to be perfectly defensive and catch everything.

They do have > 500 employees so it's a company big enough to have checks in place with other video providers to catch basic things like this but still, it's a much harder problem than people think.
I thought writing a little (c) was all that was required to protect content with a copyright.

There's no need to claim that monogamy is morally superior to believe that a gender imbalance is undesirable. That's like saying "well why should most people only be attracted to members of the opposite sex?" It's not a matter of should. It's just a fact that most people do, and that this is probably a rather strong instinct (with obvious evolutionary explanations) rather than an easily-changeable cultural coincidence.

Currently the rule set says only "startup" and "rocketship" can turn into dead pool, not "real business". Adding the "dead pool" rule to "real business" would indeed approximate that. (Or make it conditional to > a certain number of neighboring "startup"s if you like)

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
You don't even need to put a (c) or mark it with "copyright 2015". You can do that to express that you are the copyright holder but you don't need to do it. Your work, assuming it falls within copyrights, is automatically given a copyright.

OP was saying that there is a provision in the law that allows you to claim 3x the allowable damages if you take the time to register with the copyright office and pay the filing fee.
In all fairness, in a normal office use, the CPU is very rarely max-ed out, and an ipad pro may be able to do the task as well as a laptop.

It matters more to users doing graphics and videos, which I think is also probably more the target population of the ipad pro.
I would guess, having not studied the topic at all, that the tendency toward monogamy (or at least punctuated monogamy) long predates what you're talking about. It seems to me that people who are careful about insuring who they have children with will be much more successful at passing their genes on than people who are not so careful, and thus there ought to be some selective pressure for at least punctuated monogamy.
Yes, they are very common in countries where the short term profits are king. The problem with aerial spraying is wind: you don't want your herbicides/insecticides to be sprayed out of your field: as it can kill bees or local population of butterflies and other insects as well as local herbs and plants that grow around.

In EU we banned the aerial spraying (in most cases) as well as have quite complex rules to minimise this pollution: like not using spray in form of aerosols and such.
The spread of self driving vehicles (and even drones) is probably an 'accelerating returns' of some sort. Such context will act as a beautiful test bed for complex and limit cases. Unless the results end up locked it will backfire positively on in-society driving.
It's not about the money (youtube/google has plenty of money and still doesnt catch everything) but about the logistics of it all. Why does facilitating transactions give them more liability?

It's a "premium upsell" for the same reason why we still have 1366x768 screens on laptops: PC manufacturers don't give a shit and they'd rather save $1 per unit. As to Apple, I'm not sure why they don't support ECC in anything other than MacPro. IMO they should.
Awesome!

Perhaps this could end up in a place where the focus is on the cars and the technical performance, rather than human driver skill. For those of us who are more interested in engineering challenges than the celebrity driver of the day.
Yes. It sure bit Grooveshark in the ass [1] though in their case it was revealed that they were aware of the presence of infringing material in addition to receiving a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity. These people are crazy for not implementing any sort of review process.

If you need to create a webcrawler out of pre-made pieces, you need to know what to look for. In this case, it would be a high-level networking library and an HTML parser. I haven't looked, but I'm sure you could find these libraries in Lisp.

If you don't know what a webcrawler entails, then you might not be the right audience for Lisp as it exists at the moment.

@ra1n85: Fibbing can encode any (loop-free) path in the network, whatever it might be. It also enables you to do unequal load-balance on any given set of paths. BGP simply does not enable you to do this. Regarding scalability, the OSPF code is extremely optimized these days making Fibbing overhead negligible. We have numbers in the papers showing that routers do not even blink even when you inject 100,000 fake information into the Link-State protocol. Quite obviously, most people only require a few lies to implement their requirements, not that many.

Another point, I'd like to mention is that by leveraging the OSPF flooding and distributed computation, Fibbing can install thousands of forwarding entries (network-wide) in less than a second. If you use BGP as a way to provision static route from a central controller for instance, you want reach these kind of performance.

The podcast also lists some other differences.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the author of Fibbing.
I'm interested in knowing more about the Perl component. What can you say about that?
@ra1n85: the capacity needed to determine a path is negligible. The routers actually don't even need to recompute their shortest-path when presented with a lie. This is described in the podcast.
This poem was actually written satirically by Frost about going for walks with a friend who always complained afterward that they should have taken some other route and acted as if it would have been significantly better... when in reality it would have made no real difference:

Frost's biographer Lawrance Thompson is cited as saying that the poem's narrator is "one who habitually wastes energy in regretting any choice made: belatedly but wistfully he sighs over the attractive alternative rejected." According to the Thompson biography, Robert Frost: The Years of Triumph (1971), in his introduction in readings to the public, Frost would say that the speaker was based on his friend Edward Thomas. In Frost’s words, Thomas was "a person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn’t go the other."
Color and clarity are orthogonal qualities. A liquid can be either clear or opaque (or somewhere in between) regardless of it's color, and can be any color regardless of it's opacity.

Cranberry juice is both red and clear. Blood is red and opaque. Milk is white and opaque, and vodka is white and clear.
That's great! It's so obvious that it raises the question of why didn't anybody do this before?

The thing that stands out to me in the discussions on the Mozilla mailing list is how Mozilla is changing the goals of extension signing after the fact. It was initially presented as a method of combatting malware but with the back and forth over Zotero they now seem to be expanding the scope to include add-ons with performance problems, addons with code that is hard to read, addons with code that touch powerful API's unnecessarily. That's opening up a whole lot of grey area for their volunteer reviewers to wade into. In hindsight, I also wonder if they shouldn't have just waited for XUL addons to be phased out since the screening process for the more limited WebExtensions API should be easier.

As the article mentioned, the single imbalance will be much larger than the birth imbalance. This is because once a pair has formed, they drop out of the statistic, leaving just single men behind, and no single women.

I'm trying to understand better the graphs:
if this year a house in Manhattan appreciates in value, it won't reflect in GDP but it would reflect in the asset growth curve?

This might be a cause for the disconnect of the curves. If the economy is building specific surface hot-spots (city centers) that are allowing people to better monetize their job/time, a real estate increase of that (asset bubble or not) will drive assets up without a GDP equivalent increase?

(I understand the real estate goes up because the producing GDP in that area also goes up. But it's like comparing asset price versus rent: the later reflects the GDP but goes up in absolute value much less than the asset value increase)
