Autodesk, already a setter of hated precedents, gets worse
Autodesk set a precedent in customer hatred. Just as software patents exist because of an ignorant court ruling, Autodesk has used another to rip customers off for years when those customers try to recoup investment in software THEY PAID FOR.

For example, if you bought Autodesk software and decided that you didn't need it anymore (even if you never installed it or even opened the package) and posted it on eBay, an Autodesk lawyer will contact eBay and bully them in to taking your auction down. eBay, being spineless, will do just that. So you the customer are screwed by Autodesk.

And now Autodesk is going one further by making its sham software sales even more temporary.

Don't vote for this rip-off with your money.

Why can't posts have URLs and text? Brilliant, HN. Here's the link to Autodesk's manifesto: http://www.autodesk.com/products/perpetual-licenses
Yes, I like how the paper is written, and the work is solid IMO, having used most of the predecessors. The annoying thing is footnote 1, where they explain that they coopted the term "dataflow model".

That's just plain dumb, since that word is used in so many other settings, especially big data settings (TensorFlow is also a dataflow system, but both the data types and model are completely different, etc.). So I can see why someone would just dismiss it as yet another framework, sort of like how all these JavaScript frameworks that are the hot thing one year and then legacy code the next.

If they had used a more specific name, I think it would help the perception a lot. The main point is batch vs streaming, which is still big pain point, and being precise about the event time vs event processing time.

People have asked for years, when will Linux be a real OS, when it gets on the desktop?

No, when it part of underhanded dealings by large multi-national corporations. So Linux has finally arrived! Sorry to see it was the Linux Foundation, I've always had high hopes for them.

Isn't that just because volumes are highly predictable in the short term? It's not that the marginal cost per item is near zero, it's simply that the number of items is just about the same each day. It's still meaningful to talk about the cost of delivering a single item, and the strangeness of having a price that's well below that cost.

Are you asking how to buy physical oil, have it delivered to you so you can hold onto it ? If you are then the quick answer is you don't, you don't have the infrastructure to take delivery or to hold the oil. However if you just want to "invest" directly in oil you will be looking into setting up a Futures account and trade Future Options.

Your best bet however it to just invest in Power Shares Oil ETF, it will mostly track oil, and its the most hands off approach

When I first heard that I wasn't supposed to use qtips my ears I stopped. Couple months later the wax built up and sealed my ears so I couldn't hear. I thought I went deaf over night. I had to have a doctor pull out a gross amount of ear wax.

They must be doing something for me. I went back to them and it never happened again. Could be a coincidence I guess.
What indicates this is standard practice?
That is far from a tragedy. Aside from the fact that 'how little of the animal appears to have been used' is the exact reason we all have the benefit of this discovery, one should realize this extremely rare find is in no way indicative of how early hominids utilized the mammoth population they preyed upon. I'm not sure if you've experienced current Arctic weather, but feel free to compare it to any refrigeration techniques of say, the 19th century, and then consider that at the time of the kill the world was a colder place. It is not unrealistic to assume that roaming hunter-gatherers would find it more efficient to simply store the meat of a literally gigantic kill at the exact site of the kill; harvesting what they needed, when they needed it. If you can assume that, it's not a far leap to assume that those who made this particular kill were unfortunately deprived the opportunity to fully harvest it.

I'm sure if you were around back then, there would be a zero probability such a 'tragedy' could ever occur. By the way, super interested in all of your current acts of altruism that might directly or indirectly combat the innumerable current 'tragedies' levied by humanity on any other species. I'll donate $1 USD in your username to a charity of your choice for every one you feel compelled to list. To deprive a cause you care so deeply about an influx of capital, I dare say, would be a real tragedy.

If we are facing a societal collapse, we will have a hard time bootstrapping a reboot because we've consumed most of the easily accessible fossil fuels. We're in a virtuous cycle of high technology and fossil fuels that continue to support access to more fossil fuels.

I think when you look at the companies using React now, you start to understand why it is gaining ground quickly. Couple that with the fact that Facebook has dumped a lot of efforting into the tooling around it, it makes sense to me.
Sure there is. We are often told that inequality is a bad thing. We are also often told that this effect is local, not global. I.e., people complain about rising within-country inequality and barely talk about falling global inequality.

By keeping the rich away from the poor we can avoid the harms of inequality. We can have poor neighborhoods, rich neighborhoods, etc, each of which has negligible inequality.

Wow. Thanks for noticing and bringing this to our attention, Matthew.

I, for one, am ready to drop my membership and stop supporting the foundation. Not that they care. A single platinum sponsor is worth 5,000 individual "supporters" to them, but it's a matter of principle -- it's a withdrawal of endorsement.

Since your point is privacy, do you know that Bitcoin is the opposite of private and anonymous? The entire ledger is recorded publicly. Granted if you obtain some via cash and are careful not to link your real identify with purchasing the coins, a btc purchase, attaining your goods, etc.; you can get away with using it to an extent, but good luck with modern ad profiling... one mis-step and your profiles are linked.
Has anyone ever believed the Linux Foundation to be anything besides an ad-hoc promotional vehicle targeted by and toward large players?

This kind of tech has been around for decades in the CBRN community. The initial gotchas would be lack of effectiveness with the commonly small quantities of substances in the user end of the market, and the high cost of equipment. Also the common use of radioisotopes for the detection devices that require NRC compliance headaches.

Bensons reviews aren't really about capabilities. He's warning people against poorly designed A-to-C cables which identify as high-power sources, permitting the USB-C device to draw up to 3A from a USB-A port which is only required to handle 0.5A.

It's a sad state of affairs that so many cable manufacturers can't get a simple ID resistor right.
It's pretty unlikely that such a productive person or company would not have their own ideas on which they are already working. The only people who are interested in stealing ideas are people who don't know anything about building things. Lacking that constructive knowledge means they lack the basic foundation on which to riff ideas.
I could explain how Angular2 works in great detail. It mimics the hell out of OOP.

The component tree is a directed acyclic graph of single-inheritance relationships. Services are singletons that can be injected into any component to share state. Dirty checking follows the tree (ie the DAG) of inputs/outputs specified in the component metadata so there's at most O(log n) comparisons per update. To make dirty checking efficient favor immutability because it's quicker to superficially compare references than it is to deep check an entire data structure.

Anything that's inherently asynchronous is handled via Rxjs observables using either a one-to-one or one-to-many publisher/subscriber model.

As for Angularjs. Who the hell knows? Dirty checking, crawls the graph of relationships until the dirty checker gets tired. Services are kind of like singletons, I think. Factories try to mimic the borg/prototype pattern (because, reasons...) to provide singletons that share a reference to a common closure. Who the hell knows what providers do, maybe provide an instance that acts like a static helper class? Directives are magic, really complicated and painful to use magic that preprocess the HTML, who the hell knows when.

Hi, thanks I'm taking that into account. For me overwork is relative... I can burn out in 4 hours doing something I find boring or don't care about, then spend a weekend without sleep working on something a lot more challenging but interesting.

I would be okay with my role changing over time. Code is just another tool for turning ideas into things. I'm probably naive about some things, but one thing I'm sure of: routine is poison, comfort is overrated.

I am sorry that I have to say this, but large parts of the GNU/Linux community are just irrational idealists hard to work with. Read the GPLv3, it's a great political document, and somewhere in there there also is a software license, hidden between the lines.

Linus always said: He cares about the code back and otherwise not what vendors do with it. He is not in any sense one of those GNU-people about Software Freedom everywhere and for all. When the Free Software Foundation (FSF) created the GPLv3, indeed during the process, Linus already spoke out against it and said he would never ever use it[1]. He cited reasonable use-cases for which vendors have no other way than to not to give open access to devices, in part for example commercial license agreements.

The GPLv3 - from the perspective of the FSF - fixes some vital flaws in GPLv2, from Linus' perspective however is just too strict, forbids use-cases Linux has been used before previously and is extremely anti-business and would hurt the Linux project.

Whether this step of the Linux foundation is right or not, can't say for sure, but I totally understand it. A political anti-business pro-freedom-everywhere radical who already is involved in suing some of the companies she is supposed to work with on that said board? Sounds like a headache you would want to avoid at all costs.

No. I say it to point out that there are laws that aren't for the public good. At that point, we're free to have an open discussion about which laws are for the public good and which aren't. If we start by assuming all laws are enacted to prevent previous abuses, we miss a key point here.

The whole story sounds like a huge case of selection bias.

Doctors encounter lots of people whose ear injuries are attributable to Q-tips. They therefore conclude that Q-tips should never be used to clean ears.

But people who know how to clean their ears without damaging them don't go to the doctor to complain about their healthy ears.

For example, pushing the wax inwards is obviously a bad idea, but this can be avoided.

I've seen what happens when a good product has bad business management/practices -- it goes no where. So if you've got leadership forging relationships, finding cool ways to rope people in that you have a great vision and will be the next big thing, then you have a recipe for success down the road. I wouldn't assume from those few statements that the majority of efforts aren't actually making things work.

This has been known for a many years and many people who have been searched figured it out. Dogs are a key element in letting them rob people on the side of the road. We hear those K-9 are treated as officers, someone shoots one, and the sentence for that is usually pretty harsh. It takes years and many tens of thousands of dollars to train them. But they are worth their weight in gold. They are the the magic voodoo doll that hacks the 4th Amendment. You say 'no', but, the puppy says 'yes' and there go your rights. It is pretty magic.

What is interesting here is that person who was searched got to present his story to the news and it was published as is.

---

"NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Ronnie, "You are convinced that they cued that dog to hit?"

"Yes, 100 percent," he said. "There is no doubt they cued that dog."

---

Usually traditional media takes the side of the cops. At best, they would make the cops' version sound just as plausible as that of victim of the robbery (hrm ... I mean, the person who was detained).

So, of course, what makes this story, is the occupation of one of passengers -- he is both a cop and a veteran. That is front and center in the article. It is emphasized mutiple times, even in the HN title. We don't want the audience to forget that and think he is just a regular janitor or plumber here! I believe that says a lot about the beliefs that go around -- that cops are somehow more honest, and noble (and so are the troops). This aspect, is just as interesting to look at as the story itself. In order to stop this behavior, it is important to change that attitude, first, and then it would be possible to talk about fixing the laws that allow this to happen.

Yes it's quite amusing where I live. The local planning board wants "affordable housing" as a component of everything, but they are so micromanaging and require so many repeated applications and presentations (often which are sent back with comments like "windows need to be bigger"). Thus we have large, expensive developments because anything "affordable" would never meet all the criteria on appearance, building materials, etc., and the only developers who can get anything approved are ones with enough wealth to fund the team and the time needed to navigate this process.
This response makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense. You just don't like it.

Once again, prohibition of polygamy says marriages that consist of more than two individuals are illegal, it doesn't matter who those individuals are, black, white, man, woman, gay, straight; the law applies evenly to all peoples regardless of who they are.

Just like the prohibition on same sex marriage, the prohibition against polygamous or polyamorous marriage is about the imposition of arbitrary criteria placed upon what does or does not constitute a marriage.

You are fine with one but not the other. You are being hypocritical.

Which didn't happen

Prop 8 was an amendment to the California state constitution. It did happen and the judicial activist wing of the SCOTUS found the flimsiest of excuses to invalidate it.

The legalization of same sex marriage was the agenda behind both of President Obama's supreme court nominations.

As for other crowdfunding platforms, I'm surprised Twitter hasn't tried to monetize Likes using a Flattr-like system. Just add a "tip" button next to the heart button, paying out say $0.01.
