> What makes you think you have the right to consume the content I worked hard to create for free?

I don't! Misrepresenting my position is not a good way to argue.

Unlike your offensive concert and movie analogies, I am not advocating breaking into a server to copy content. Requests are made to the server, and you can choose to send me data or not.

Also, just because you worked hard at something doesn't mean that it has value. Why do you think you have a right to be paid regardless of what the market says your content is worth?

> This really isn't any different.

Yes, thank you very much - that's the goal.

I'm sorry you have such a limited view of the world. There is more to the world than profit motive.
For the record, this is quite a simplified overview of proof-of-work. It ignores the complexities of network propagation speeds and orphaning, which can result in withholding attacks being more effective. Proof of work is not a magical bullet -- although, arguably it is the best one we know of so far.

Yes, "compile time metaprogramming" or "static code generation" vs. "run-time metaprogramming" and "dynamic code generation" are used more often.

Once you've got proper macros, pretty much all the other language features can easily be implemented on top of them, so it makes much more sense to get the macros first instead of adding features one by one. I could never comprehend why the mainstream language designers are not doing it.

Syntax is not an obstacle for a proper macro system, as demonstrated by Template Haskell, Nemerle, Katahdin, PFront and the other meta-languages not based on S-expressions. The only thing you need is a quasiquotation for both constructing and pattern matching the ASTs, and it's possible to implement it for any syntax.
semantics ... based on Haskell while using eager evaluation is kind of a contradiction in terms. The difference between eager and lazy evaluation is rather large.

> 1) When was the offer made.

The moment you went to the website. It's like going to someone's house and knocking on the door.

> ) When was the understanding of what the contract was about made? (aka "meeting of the minds")

It is inherent. Just like when you tune-in to watch the Big Bang Theory on TV, you understand that the ads that get played during the show subsidize (sponsor) the content. The internet has been around a long time, pretending this is something new and unknown is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

> ) Was there a proper exchange of consideration only after the offer and acceptance of that offer was negotiated?

You are the solicitor (the website didn't contact you, you went to it) so such an offer and/or acceptance isn't required.

Putting all of that aside, are you suggesting that all websites now put up a landing page which says "You must view the following ad to enter this website. Click yes to continue, click No to go back to google"? Because that's pretty much what you're suggesting. Also, as far as your "contract" is concerned, how do you deal with it when TV programs show you ads? They subsidize the content there in the exact same way. Do you feel entitled to watching the latest episode of Agents of Shield without watching any ads?

Again, you didn't create the content, it's not yours. Why do so many people feel entitled to consume it all for free? It's like if the internet didn't exist, and I walk into a book store and just start piling magazines into my backpack then walk out. Only, instead of the articles being on a piece of paper, they're on my monitor.

> Sorry, I was using the web (and the rest of the internet) before the plague of ads

Sorry, but this is simply wrong. I've been using the internet since 1996 and ads have always been here. The dot.com internet bubble began in 1996. Half the bubble was predicated on the (speculative) popularity and rise of ads. In a way (albeit indirectly), the first internet bubble was due to ads (See here: http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Dot-com-ads-make-a-co...).

> full of content

You're either being dishonest or you're deluding yourself if you think there is anywhere near the same amount of content there is today. That's laughable - it's not even comparable. Especially when you consider high speed internet wasn't even a thing yet. It took 3-10 minutes just to download a picture of a naked woman.

The internet back then was a barren wasteland. You forget, there was no youtube, there was no hackernews, there was no facebook ...these are companies that 100% relied on advertisements for their growth. Hell, they still do to this day.

My understanding of the current protections (of 2D works) is that the photograph has to be an image of the protected object. A photo of an Apple laptop with a desk chair in the background isn't a photo of the desk chair. Similarly, a photo of an art gallery isn't a photo of every piece of art contained therein.
I guess it's coincidence then that Beats started appearing all over the place in movies and videoclips right around the time when Apple bought them (I remember searching for them when I became aware of their ubiquity and learning that Apple had just acquired them).

Seriously, it's pretty obvious when the technology spot has been bought by whatever means, otherwise they use no-brand completely generic devices.

It is very difficult to measure data set quality. The goal of a data set to give you insight into how well an approach performs for any given data point (in this case an image and associated label). The problem is that we can not collect all the possible data points, so we have to settle for what we hope to be a fair sample of all data points.

While bigger usually means better, if for example there was a bias in how the data points were selected the data set can actually be worse than a smaller one where there was no such bias. Building a good data set really depends on the current understanding of the nature and difficulty of the task, both on the part of the scientific field and the researchers working on the data set.

The very same problem exists in the medical domain. How do you select the right patients to evaluate for a treatment? How do you know that there is not a specific genetic, racial, gender, etc. trait that leads to side effects? The answer is of course that you can not know with absolute certainty unless you include every human on the planet (and then there is the question as-of-yet unborn humans), but you can use your experience and medical knowledge to try to select patients (your data set) for the medical trial to minimise the possible impact of as-of-yet unknown side effects.
Really like how expressive this solution is and the readability of the "whenever" blocks handling asynchronous events.
> Yes, thank you very much - that's the goal.

I don't think you're doing much critical thinking here. You don't seem to realize just how much innovation is directly the result of advertisements. You get rid of advertisements entirely and about 90% of the internet (perhaps more) goes with it. We're talking companies like youtube, facebook, google, poof gone. These are companies where their entire revenue streams are ad revenue. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Once google is gone, who are you going to use to search the web?

I challenge you to consider the full implication of that statement. I fear you're not following that logic all the way through to its logical conclusion, you're only looking at the short term goal of "Yay no more ads". without considering the butterfly effect it would have.

Buddhism is not the only religion not plagued by faith and dogma.

Faith and dogma exist wherever people have outsourced their ability to think. 'Buddhists' do this too, just as some adherents to other faiths do too.

On a side note, the intellectual portions of Vedic literature often emphasise the need for viveka (knowledge, discrimination) and prashnena (questioning) which are requisite qualities of a shisya (student). Arguably, much of Buddhist metaphysics is based on these Upanishadic texts (Vedanta).
Certainly more than 6. It depends on what you're going for. If you're just trying out a new technique (e.g. a new activation function, etc.) super-deep nets don't really matter. But if you're trying to get the best performance possible on a task (for a competition, say), you can tack on many more layers (MSR did ~150 layers).
>Why does a framework have to carry features only needed in edge cases?

Because most apps are being built in the conditions of uncertainty and the development team doesn't know if the edge case will become a business requirement.

>Feature bloat/mission creep sucks.

Unqualified, this statement is nothing more than a thought terminating cliche. Whatever constitutes "bloat" depends on the context and preferences of a decision maker.

That number alone proves nothing. You could try to say that "even if a self-driving car is a thousand times safer than the average human, that still leaves 32 deaths per year". But I don't buy that logic. You need a breakdown by cause. For instance: how many of those involved at least one person being drunk? Sleepy? Going above the speed limit? There are large classes of failure modes that self-driving cars are not prone to. Is it really too much to believe that some day we will have a civilization that can move people from place to place without killing anyone? I remain optimistic. But even if not, we can at least get this thing off the list of top k causes of death, for some integer k. Already it's responsible for less than two percent of US deaths.

Rankdit , the new video social network app
Rankdit , is the new video social network , where users will shoot a 10 sec. video about their talent , creativity , valuable moments , and trending topics in their countries to enter a daily contest with other users around the world to chooses the best video of the day and to announce the winner as the world new celebrity

Millions of people like you and me have amazing ideas , great talents to show, even an exciting product or service to sell , but still we don’t get the right exposure , and we have to waste thousands of dollars on promoting our work and creativity and wait sometimes years to be discovered
So Rankdit isn’t another video social network allow you to make a short video and just share it with friends and family , We are going in different direction , with Rankdit we are going to give each user the chance to be famous and get the publicity he\she deserves
by redesigning the main idea of how to connect people together and applying totally new concepts ,like the World wall, the Country Wall , leader board , User Ranking and the Hall of Fame, we will put users in an exciting daily challenge to vote for trending videos in each country and choose one to be the world celebrity every 24 hours

Rankdit is fast , cool and energetic experience that take users around the world every day , in a 10 sec. video contest and let them vote who is the best to be the celebrity for the day and enter the Hall of FAME

read up a bit on the history of the internet, specifically from 1995-2002

I was there. I rememeber it. I also remember that a large amount of it was fundamentally amateur content, produced with no funding at all. I remember when advertising arrived on USENET, and the subsequent attempts to contain it.

I remember the collapse of the first internet bubble, because I was made redundant then. It was all predicated on "owning" traffic, that every company thought they would be the one to be the default portal (like CIX or AOL) that steered everyone's purchasing. This was a bad idea then and it's still a bad idea now.
I bet there are breakthroughs to be had if they would compete on training time and computing resources, rather than just accuracy.

In my opinion, many people are curry Howard blind. It's like they found this one correspondence between certain proofs (constructive ones) and programs and are hell-bend on using it. Personally I like not to confuse the two things. Proofs are proofs, programs are programs, programs can generate proofs, proofs can verify programs. And proofs are classical.

Most people like me dreamed of an academic job with tenure.

Not in my experience. It might be true in subjects like english, history and the social sciences where jobs in industry are rare, but and certainly not in the technical engineering fields. Most people I know getting a PhD did so with the intention of moving on to the private sector.

And I don't know what industry you are in, but lots of companies publish papers and present their research at conferences.
My company is about to purchase and install a Palo Alto Networks firewall which can be configured to intercept outgoing SSL connections. I'm hoping they won't enable the feature but as soon as management see the "protect intellectual property" headline they will jump on it. There is an article/press release on it at http://www.networkworld.com/article/2161439/network-security...

EDIT:
From the above article:

The Palo Alto Networks NGFW uses a certificate-copying mechanism to open up TLS 1.1 sessions (TLS 1.2 for outbound is not yet supported but the process negotiates down to TLS 1.1) that basically works like a corporate-operated man-in-the-middle attack.

> If everyone (100% of the population) was able to skip watching or listening to those ads, then advertisers would no longer advertise and there would be no content because nobody is paying for it, or footing the bill.

And if everyone decided not to donate to wikipedia during their donation drives, then wikipedia would no longer remain free and free of ads in the way it is today.
I realize this might kind of go against a Kantian categorical imperative type thing, but I think there are some cases where theres an action where a) persons are generally not obligated to take it, and b)if no one took it, it would be against the interests of all those people.

But, if one assumes the opposite, in order to conclude that it is obligatory to look at ads on pages one views, one has to also conclude that it is obligatory to make donations to wikipedia, if one uses wikipedia. But I don't think one is /obligated/ to do that.

I'm not sure what the point of bringing "generation" stuff into this.

I'd like to mention again that I personally do not block ads, and that this is motivated by allowing the websites to run. I acknowledge that if no one viewed ads (e.g. if no one requested the ad content), that many websites would go out of business or w/e. That is part of my reason for not blocking ads. But the same line of reasoning applies to someone donating to wikipedia. They recognize that without donation, wikipedia would not continue, and that is part of their reason for donating to wikipedia. But their donations to wikipedia are not obligatory. Neither is my decision to not block ads.

I'm not sure what you mean by "people like you". Like I said, I don't block ads, I just argue that it is one's right to do so. Do you mean because of people who block ads, or because of people who say it is ok to block ads? (I've seen some people say that they don't think it is ok to block ads but that they don't care and do it anyway. I think this is kinda terrible. If one act is not obligatory, and one believes that it is immoral, then one shouldn't do it, even if one is incorrect. If it is morally obligatory and one believes it is immoral, then one should do it I guess.)

In the picture of the future that you paint, you leave out donation funded websites, which I think are important.

Again, I'm not saying "everyone should block ads", I'm saying everyone /may/ choose to block ads. This is consistent with the claim that it is important that some people choose to not block ads.

In the same way that it is important that some people donate to sites. No one is obligated to donate to websites they use. It is important that enough people donate to the websites for the website to stay up (provided that it is important that the website stays up).

And, due to my desire that ad-supported websites remain feasible, I choose to not block ads.

Yes, things generally have to be paid for.

No, it doesn't always have to be paid for by the person receiving it.
Fighting Human Trafficking: Open Data, Big Data, and Python
Thanks for the link. I get lost in the legalese but found a easy explanation somewhere:

http://intellectualpropertyblog.fieldfisher.com/2015/section...

I find interested and sensible this distinction (even if I think 25 years is too much):

"When more than 50 copies have been made of such an artistic work, the period of copyright protection is limited to 25 years after the work is first marketed, in comparison to other artistic works which are protected for the life of the author plus 70 years. In practical terms, this means, for example, that furniture manufacturers and importers could start manufacturing and importing furniture that qualified as industrially-manufactured artistic works once the initial 25 year copyright protection had expired."

The fact that this rational exception is going to be eliminated in order to harmonize with EU law just push the issue of 'who' to Brussels.

It seems that there is a great tradition of harmonizing copyright always to the most draconian terms.

Naive question; is "defn" really necessary?, isn't "let" and "lambda" enough to express a program?.
No it's not, it's about "industrially exploited artistic works". Industrially exploited means 'more than 50 copies produced'. Artistic is left to the court to decide on a case-by-case basis.

The design of an Apple laptop or a Fisher Price toy phone is copyrighted, but it's very unlikely to be considered an 'artistic work'.
