When it works. im often having to do it multiple times and sometimes just switch to CC
The issue with orphan works (which overlap with abandonware) it that it's often unclear who the rights holder or holders is and, sometimes, what other third-party IP rights are involved. For example, in the case of software, are there licensed libraries that would need to be stripped out. As companies shut down, get bought, sell assets, etc. figuring out ownership and rights can be difficult.

With orphan works specifically, the concern that I've heard expressed by some photographers is that companies will spend exactly 10 seconds trying to track down the copyright holder before deciding it's orphaned and using the work as they see fit.
Thought this would address something in regards to their workers' wages. Guess I was too optimistic.
It's entirely too hard to ascertain whether doing 2.5x more of whatever it is you're doing right now is really going to get you where you want to go. Sometimes, probably most of the time, the goal is learning, you want to immerse yourself into the space of possibility and figure out what's important.

For a SEAL, someone regularly called on to do the impossible, the 40% rule makes perfect sense. For most of us, doing 100 pull ups instead of 40 is mostly missing the point. Spending 2 hours in the gym instead of 30 minutes for me is actually counter-productive. It's not how many pull ups you do on a given day, it's how many times in a given year you do pull ups.
My suggestion is drupal, CMS with drupal is a good choice.

yes there are multiple CMS choices and I tried a few of them, nothing beats Drupal due to its modular design, wide community, open source, various plugins, security updates,etc.
Facebook GPU computer to be open sourced
We mostly care about asymptotic speed ups, so that doesn't really make a difference, and using a more specialized classical computer has a similar kind of effect to just using a bigger one. In any case our best algorithms running on mediocre classical hardware can still beat the D-Wave, so we don't really need to stack the deck so much.
As someone who's going through a not very fun period of C. Diff, this is pretty relevant. There is still so much we don't know about what makes a healthy and un-healthy biome, it's maddening.
As a european who has always had chip cards, it has never happened to me[0] that the reader failed to read the chip.
Granted, I don't use the card very often, but I would say in the last 10 ten years I have probably used it a few hundred times. Chip & signature, is usually slower.

OTOH, NFC credit cards are now also becoming more common in europe too, i.e. https://www.visa.co.uk/products/visa-contactless/

Why not use VsVim or ViEmu? Then you get a proper text editor, but all the VS niceness, too. Actually if you're using Emacs , you're in the same place, having to install Evil and all.
It's also necessary in some circumstances. Kidney damage and broken foot bones probably won't kill you. Getting caught will.
My favourite way of phrasing that is: "Athletes don't diet and workout, they eat and train."

How you get there is up to you. Calorie counting and avoiding simple carbs works for me. As does training for at least an hour a day.

Hipchat can grow a lot, I really think every organization, tech or not, will eventually start using a tool like hipchat or slack.
I always do that - I program in perl a lot at work - thanks

I think there were enough folks that would have cared just from a self preservation view if the UK had gotten invaded.
What about Evil in Emacs? I've heard/seen great things about this model versus using vim. (But haven't gotten around to it yet.)
I won't be surprised if Google buys them.
I look at it in two ways.

First, Perl is installed on millions of machines by default, with full access to the CPAN--still one of the largest repositories of freely available libraries, with Perl's backwards compatibility and testing offering a lot of stability. If P6 comes out and succeeds, it'll still be quite a while before it can offer anything like that.

Second, I've given away electronic versions of the book for five years. It's not about the money or the job prospects for me. I figure the book's helped more people than I can count, so why not continue?

My impression is that they're after dominance and becoming utterly entrenched, and that they've got a pretty good shot at it. They've had stellar growth over the past couple years. They currently strike a good balance between "creating value" and "extracting value", from a business perspective. Compare to older companies, like Oracle, which are much more focused on extracting value.

They're also used both in startups and in established firms, which makes me feel confident about their growth.
It's an ultramarathon - not a battle.

I don't see that there is a limit to how far they can grow. They are expanding their user base, they are constantly making or buying new products into their portfolio and they know how to sell and support it.
If the company has to go through the pain of tracking down that contract after initially refusing to, I'd expect that they wouldn't settle, both to send a message and to try to squeeze out as much money as they can in damages.

You're simply incorrect. Within a defined boundary (e.g. the absolute limits of human hearing) digital audio can reproduce an audio signal perfectly. Most analog recording systems are incapable of this.

If it kills itself, it might cause depression in the inventors. So that's definitely not a solution, let alone the only possible one.

A closer solution is to properly simulate humanity and determine which actions work. (There's the ethical question about how good a sim before you've caused consciousness. But I don't think we know enough about consciousness to fully conclude anything there.)
I have historically been pessimistic on "micro-payments" but I feel like there's gotta be a way to make it work and this is the best approach I've seen so far. It's going to take reasonable pricing, frictionless payments and, most importantly, publisher credibility.

For NYT/WSJ, I could see up to 50c/article. Medium maybe 25c. The Information/Pando possibly up to $1.
Hiding journal names from your publication list is a great idea
I've found that if you already have your phone in your hand, using Apple Pay is quicker than getting your wallet out. If you need to fish your phone out of one pocket, it's probably just as easy to fish your wallet out of another.

I like the idea of Apple Pay. It's not accepted at enough places yet to make it really worthwhile, but I could see contactless payments being a big thing in the future.
The other problem is overtraining:

http://www.outsideonline.com/1986361/running-empty

Sometimes you get to the point where the harder you attempt to push through fatigue, the more likely you are to do long-term harm. Unfortunately it's difficult figuring out when you've reached that point.

I also agree that you have a point about the arbitrary distinction. Presumably you agree that accidental / criminal / insane / unnecessary shootings are a problem. What do you propose as a solution?

The four things I can think of are:

2) better training and education for gun owners, mandatory, free

3) arming more citizens so they can take out mass shooters

4) better training in non-lethal methods for police

No cryptographers believe the NIST curves are backdoored. OpenSSL's and NSS's implementations of P-256 have been reviewed and are considered secure. My conclusion is that if your CSPRNG is good, P-256 ECDHE with openssl should be fine.

Better ECDHE is ready to be rolled out though: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-curves-11

Too bad how long CFRG take to get EdDSA ready.
If a gun (or other weapon), is possessed, that makes it a violent crime, e.g. aggravated robbery.

So you can get some handle on gun use (even when not fired) in crimes.
You might be right. Chip & sign is pretty bad. Chip & PIN is awful.
I regularly participate in events known as GORUCK Challenges. They're 12 hour+ endurance events led by current and former special forces operatives from all branches of the military.

Yes, there are plenty of young extremely healthy men at these events, but they're the minority. The majority of participants are over 30 years old, in good but not great or extreme condition, and tend to be 10-30% female.

These events are hard. Hours of PT, carrying of heavy objects for hours at a time, all while wearing a backpack that weighs at minimum 25#.

Success rate is about 94%. Yes, there is some principle of self-selection at work whereupon if you're dumb enough to sign up for such a thing you're predisposed to survival, but the biggest reason that participants finish is because we are all capable of so much more than we think.

That's the point of the article, IMO. Don't try harder, just don't fucking quit. Hell, try less if that's what it takes to not quit.

Edit: accidentally hit enter too soon. I wanted to say something about "not training hard enough" not being the issue with most athletes I see, rather they're training too hard with poorly designed programming.

I've wondered if this can go the other way as well:

e.g. "If Golbach's conjecture is true, then FTL signalling is possible. Since physics says FTL is impossible, then GC must be false"

[If you could reduce GC to a scheme for moving information via quantum entaglement. I use GC as an example because it is famous and an unproved, but maybe a better example is the Erdos Discrepancy [0] which makes statements about aritrarily long sequences in {1,-1} just like sampling quantum states!]

Chainer: Neural Networks in Python
Curve25519 is what's going to happen. The IETF/IRTF process is a clusterfuck of monumental proportions, and has slowed adoption down, but Chrome and Firefox will support Curve25519.

The NIST P- curves in TLS ECDHE have sound implementations in Chromium and Firefox. Nobody should be using conventional DH in preference to ECDHE; if you can't trust a browser's P-curves, you can't trust their GCM either.
My take, and probably 80% of the population as well.
This is absolutely awesome. So many people coming together to design and construct such a complicated experiment. Excellent work and let's hope it teaches us how to do fusion.
Jim Walton (Sam Walton's son) owns 96% of Arvest Bank, which is exclusive to Walmart in the Midwest.

It would be interesting to see the breakdown on average salary vs experience. As someone just starting my career it would be interesting to see how it compares to having 5 or 10 years experience.

Right. Nobody (or mostly nobody) makes their whole gun from scratch.

The idea is that the gun parts can be obtained with fairly ordinary efforts, just as plastic for a 3D printer can be obtained with fairly ordinary efforts.

(Naturally, there is a big cost difference between these two.)
How Specialty Retailers Can Grow Faster Using Digital Platforms
Possibly, in reading the article it seemed that Activision, 20th Century, and Warner could not agree on who owned the rights. As it mentioned that is unresolvable directly (none of the three are publishing a new version or re-using the content). So the only way to resolve the ownership question is to draw a lawsuit, where either the courts will find that it has been abandoned (win) or they argue amongst themselves and come up with one person who is the owner.

I'm not a lawyer but if there is a writ you could file to have the courts declare it abandoned, that would work too, perhaps @rayiner will step in on that question.
When I was in graduate school in the early 80's I wanted to get a PhD in toxicology (but didn't, became a programmer instead). Today if I was at that same stage I would study the microbiome, it's a fascinating melange of chemistry, microbiology and food science, and we still know very little about it, plus it can make a huge difference in the world. Toxicology seemed too much like slaughtering rats for a living.
Uhm, no, due to the way modern video formats work, you don't store twice as much data - on the contrary, H.264 and similar modern formats are significantly more efficient at storing progressive (including deinterlaced) video than equivalent interlaced stream.
The idea is to focus more on the science and less on where it is published, in assessing the quality of the work. Everyone agrees that judging researchers by the journal (impact factor) where they publish is terrible. But this specific proposal by Michael Eisen to strip journal titles from the scientists' publication lists has been controversial.

Its still faster than the chip reader in my experience. If magnetic strips are going to be a thing of the past i'd say phone payments will ultimately have the speed/convenience advantage.
Anders Wallgren Talks IoT with Software Engineering Daily
Swipe is very rare in the UK - Chip & Pin is the norm, at least it used to be.

Contactless cards were introduced relatively recently, where you just tap and go - no verification required (as such there's a limit on the amount you can pay using contactless). These are very speedy, I think more so than Apple pay, and are becoming increasingly popular.

In London (and possibly other places in the UK, I'm unsure) they have actually integrated contactless card readers into public transport, meaning you can hop on a bus/tube and pay for the journey with your card. Essentially, you can carry around a single card to commute, buy your lunch, go shopping and everything else.
President Wilson was a racist. The screening on March 21, 1915 of "The Birth of a Nation" that he so enjoyed (probably because he was friends of the author of the book it was based). You can search on all that information.

The Wikipedia page ignores all the other articles (do the search) about Wilson's beliefs, friends, and civil rights record. It is also ignored in HS history books just as President Lincoln's dealing with the Dakota is ignored. Let's also remember he was happy about the biggest KKK march on DC in US history. Never mind his dumb meeting after WWII in Paris.
Very collaborative effort. Now that we have a solid foundation and extension model it's time to think about scoring.

I agree that the quantified self movement needs to do more work on tying data to motivation. In many cases, it's too easy to just look at the data but not act on it.

That being said, I do think that having the data is a prerequisite for improving. The times where I've tracked my food intake, I've inevitably eaten healthier, partially but just knowing how much i'm actually eating.

> If anything, folks I've seen using Fitbit/FuelBand could use a bit more exercise and a better diet. People tracking their sleep activity tend to stay late and have poor sleeping habits (for example).

I strongly suspect that's correlation, not causation. Of course the people who need to lose weight are the ones more likely to buy a Fitbit.
Class of 2016: Whose works will enter the public domain
Thanks :) I hadn't seen those.
Yes, exactly. It's an article about the psychology of violence, not morality. It's point is that people who commit violence believe themselves to be moral. ie, they are acting in accordance with whatever system of morality they happen to hold. Their actions might be totally immoral according to another morality system, but that person is still moral in their own mind.
I currently pay with Apple Pay for two reasons. Security and Discover double cash back. Definitely not convenience. I always end up screwing up the double tap to pull up the cards and people give me looks because I'm holding up the line. That said, there really just aren't many places nearby that are taking it yet.

> Sin, in Christian theology based around total depravity, is not 'essentially not being Christian enough', but is rather a failure to obey God.

Except that when you say "failure to obey God" you mean "failure to behave as christians have defined a supposed god wants you to behave", or in short "not being christian enough". Simply attributing your rules to an entity whose existence you haven't even demonstrated is simply a rhetorical device to obfuscate the easy to understand statement "sin is when you don't follow my/our rules".

Just consider whether you would be willing to substitute any definition of god out there in your statement instead of the christian one. How about Allah? Then your claim would be that in christian theology, it's sin to not obey Allah (that is, behave as Muslims define that god wants you to behave). If you aren't willing to accept that, your argument doesn't hold, and if you are, you have to deal with a huge pile of self-contradictory doctrine from all the world's religions.
What sources are being used? Hydro? Geothermal?

Unfortunately, in my area only about 23%-30% of the power generation is composed of renewable sources, primarily hydro.
