disclaimer: I'm not of the mind that patents are a raw evil that needs to be swept from the earth. I understand how they can be beneficial for society ideally.

There's a lot of ideas out there that it's just old fashioned corruption and lobbying preventing it, but I can see one semi-valid justification:

Imagine a non-practicing company who ends up with a collection of patents (not a non-practicing patent troll). Today, and what normally happens, they would just license those out to various entities who wished to use them, and those companies signal a fairly pure intent to actually build something and sell it. The license cost is simply passed on to the consumer, but if the product is unique enough it's not like there's a cheaper alternative for anybody to compare against anyway. In the end the economy is richer for having the widget because now people can buy a new capability.

Now imagine a case where companies must exercise their patents. They'll

a) be less likely to work on R&D since they'll no longer be able to exercise a guaranteed monopoly, first to invent (or first to file) no longer has a motivational push to generate new ideas. Even inventing for the sole purpose of licensing your idea is a legitimate one. R&D is very expensive.

b) Only organizations with the financial power to both invent and manufacture will now file for patents. This locks away many small-time inventors (garage R&D) who today make a reasonable living off of their work via licensing to large corporations and locks away the power of innovation only at large and powerful organizations. In a sense the current patent regime is intended to allow anybody, large or small, access to a level playing field. e.g. I have a small LLC, if tomorrow I come up with a cool idea through my LLC and get it patented, I'd have to go about building it and putting it on the market, all expenses that I know my LLC doesn't have the funding to support.

c) As a result, lots of half-assed shit will end up on the market since inventors will be forced to pump something out. Except now it will be optimized to cost them the least amount possible to get to market with rather than be optimized to try to be successful (that takes loads more money to try).

d) And/Or a weird economy will show up of small "pass through" businesses that exist only to provide a store front for the crap that inventors now have to produce in order to lock down their patent (since the end-game in most patents is licensing). They don't really have any intention of selling anything, but inventors maybe produce 10 of their widget, pay a small stocking fee and the store will put it up for display. These stores will likely be in small, off-main-street light industrial zones with no traffic. It's easy money for the store owners since inventors will literally pay them to stock the minimally produced junk. Think of the "As Seen on TV" stores at some local malls, now imagine those multiplied by a million.

IMHO a better solution is to make patents non-sellable. They can only exist under ownership of the inventor and can't be accumulated under non-inventing entities.

Depending on the actual terms of the termination he may not be eligible for unemployment. Chronic lateness might be considered being fired for cause, which typically means you cannot claim UB.
In the book "ADHD Does not Exist" Richard Saul describes Neurochemical Diststractibility/Impulsivity(what we call adhd) of two types : low serotoning group and high level epinephrine/norepinephrine group.
"The two types described show subtly different symptom patterns.The low-serotonin group tends to look like what people think of when they think of the disorder called ADHD. The high epinephrine/norepinephrine group is "consistent in its inconsistency". Sometimes these patiens can concentrate well, and sometimes they can't."
Maybe this is related to what you say, I see it myself, somedays my brain just works better, I never understood why.
I already do.
Since when is it possible to steal ideas?

Edit: Sure, it's perfectly valid to extend the meaning of "steal" to include "be inspired by" or "copy", but that does nothing but devalue its original meaning.
I always considered that quote something the rest of the world made up in jest, because in retrospect, that wasn't enough memory and it was annoying. im kinda surprised people apparently think it is something anybody ever actually said.
Gartner: Cloud Breaches Are Almost Certainly the Customer’s Fault
Open-Source Development: Myths and Reality
I understand the stigma against people "wasting their time" by playing video games all day. I don't play many games myself, and spend most of time on creative hobbies like music and photography. Actually that's a lie, I spend a lot of time reading Reddit. But apart from Reddit, I do creative things.

When I was a kid, I used to ask why poor people don't just start a business, or go out and get a better job? That was before I understood the way that poverty traps people in a cycle. And the fact that we don't all possess the capacity to become entrepreneurs and creative thinkers.

I think a basic income is most important for the uncreative people. The people who don't really have any talents, and never had any big aspirations. The 50% of all people who have a below-average IQ. Maybe they can't think of something productive to do, but in a post-scarcity economy, why should they need to? When the whole farm-to-table pipeline is completely run by autonomous machinery, then I think there's nothing wrong with just relaxing and enjoying life.

I'm worried that this YC research program might end up making the wrong conclusions, if the results are only analyzed by startup people who are hell-bent on "changing the world" and being ultra-productive all the time. So what if a recipient just chills out all day, goes for walks, swims at the beach, takes some photos, and plays some video games. I hope they wouldn't call that a failed experiment.
It would be unconstitutional for the Congress to pass laws taking full oversight of state and local police (it's not one of the Congress's enumerated powers, and per the Tenth Amendment 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.').

Sometimes police are found to have violated federal civil-rights law, but that is a bit of a sketchy backdoor.

The Right Thing would be for each state to create such a commission, and for the Congress to create one for federal law-enforcement agencies.
To get an image of how the language grew (from a mid-90s perspective), you can read "The Design & Evolution of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup. Then read "The C++ Programming Language (4th ed.)" to understand the new parts. And read "C++ Core Guidelines" (free on GitHub!) to grasp some best practices in modern C++. And, of course, practice.
I don't think low conditions have anything to do with the fonts per se.

If Google really wants the March matchup with Lee Sedol to be fair, it should make available a number of AlphaGo's training games for Sedol to evaluate. Otherwise, we have a similar situation to Deep Blue vs Kasparov, where Deep Blue had access to hundreds of Kasparov's games but Kasparov did not have access to Deep Blue's past games to evaluate. This is a major disadvantage for the human player.

Not to mention multiple versions of stored procedures having slightly different names because they have slightly different sets of parameters -- rather than having default values on the parameters.
I used to freelance and motivating myself for that was HARD.

I'm now working for a company full time, I get paid silly money and have quite a lot of freedom because if they keep giving me interesting problems, I solve them quickly and well. I think I'm in a really good role because as lead for the "innovation" team we're constantly moving onto new weird and wonderful projects.

Conversely, I cannot do a role which is about code maintenance. I get bored and demotivated very quickly.

To be fair, Angelo's job (head of the local union) is to protect and advocate for the officers. Yes, he sounds completely ridiculous, but he can't come out and say "yup, they broke the dashcams."

(In no way do I mean to imply he is correct, or that the system isn't completely broken.)
It sounds like you might be in the right place to benefit from vue.js -- kind of a modern/simplified knockout. Super lightweight, very easy to learn, and just a view layer so it's not dictating your overall app architecture.
This tracks well with a report I heard this week on declining mean salaries in the federal government versus industry. As the government pays less, has declining pensions, and is under constant threat of "shutdown" it isn't surprising that the best people would rather look elsewhere. That doesn't even factor in people choosing not to work for the government for political and moral reasons.

Sadly, this means that the bureaucracy will increase and become more petty. People will become more concerned about protecting their jobs and less about doing them well. Because, government work on a resume will become a "bad smell" making it hard for government workers to find a job in the private sector. Who wants to hire someone with a fake PhD? Only the government.
Man that hits close to home. I remember always begging my parents for more lego sets, never finishing them and my parents giving me shit for that.

I usually refrain from commenting on anything relating to parenting at risk of being (rightfully) shouted down as I have no experience with it. But in this case, as someone that was in your daughters place once, 20 years later I think the best thing you can do for your daughter now is to reinforce sticking with something and finishing it. Basically developing the mindset she has on meds into a habit that she'll eventually be able to keep without them.

I think, as you mentioned, that learning about actions and consequences, especially in the long term instead of immediate ones, will help her a lot down the road. Your daughter is lucky to have you as a parent who is willing to guide her and help navigate through the bullshit that adhd can bring.

I found this with Ritalin as a kid, and amphetamines/various analogues as an adult. It makes me so focussed I get colossal social anxiety and my brain loops over everything. It's horrendous, and kinda stunted my social development.
Agreed but it's a pity the only response is reacting to the homophobic slur here; it is truly criminal and worth talking about how much leeway pseudo-scientific "doctors" are given, to this day, to abuse the human rights of those different enough to be deemed "mentally unsound".
Ask HN: How do I fire someone who has sensitive data on their personal laptop?
I'm in a bit of pickle.

I need to let someone go from my startup (20 people, millions of users, funding) who was here since the very beginning.

He's been using his personal laptop and has at least one copy of our production database on it that he uses for analytics and data mining.

He won't take the firing well (I think) and I worry that he might leak some of that information. It could be company-killer.

How should I ensure the data is deleted and mitigate this risk?

I'm the CTO of Maslow. Our tech stack is built with the following technologies:

* Scala / Play! / Akka (api)

* Neo4j

* Meteor (webapp)

* AngularJS (admin)

* Elasticsearch

* Redis

It is deployed via ECS. All of our services are dockerized including Neo4j & ES. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

For those of you who are NYC-based, I'm running a Neo4j meet-up on 2/9. Come by and say hi!
#1 One system, one set of rules, easier to administrate. Much like single payer healthcare systems have less fraud.

#2 Uniquely, correctly identifying every single person participating in the economy is currently being done by data aggregators like LexisNexis (nee Seisent), ChoicePoint, others. Basically a private (non govt) RealID. This could and should be a government function.

I should also note here that I know that the first mistake I made was allowing this situation to happen in the first place. We have policies now, but we didn't push this employee to adhere to them at the time he joined.

Stock isn't bought just based upon last quarters profits, but on how much investors think can be derived in the long term.

Facebook have done better than investors expected. Apple have done worse than investors expected. What makes you think people hate Facebook ads? Facebook ads are the only ones that I have ever clicked on, and then made a purchase. I think they are well targeted and very effective.

Nah, it couldn't at ALL be that people simply did not find it to be all that brilliant. It simply must be either a conspiracy or the masses are idiots.
> I'm certain free education is better than $150k education.

Is this really the case? Sure for identical education free is better than non-free, but I know even in software development if you're applying for jobs in the US and your degree is from Poland there are places that won't interview you, let alone hire you.
I was rather struck by this game. The puzzles are indeed clever and was immediately enamoured with the combinatoric spaces and visual appeal. Perhaps it is my experience with Go as a "conversation with hands," that drew me in to The Witness as a "conversation with the designer."

I hope Jonathan feels very lucky to have made this game. It is great and I find myself envious and over-joyed that he has had the time, privilege, and skill to build it (and many thanks to the team behind it as well).
I guess if you get to a) impose your own definitions and b) judge how others feel based on those self-definitions, then you've reached the "crawling up your own ass" stage of looking for ways to be offended. Congratulations! You're ready to join a variety of Twitter and tumblr groups who spend so much time in their own asses they believe such things to be important.

One very nifty hack is the pomodoro technique.

Correctly applied [0] it seems to trigger competition-mode[1] and a sense of urgency. This helps the brain cross the "interesting" threshold and stay focused instead of coming up with other ideas or dozing off.

Now you're just being stubborn. Regular incomes that happen whether you work or now, are almost identical to the BI. How are those example different? Constructive arguments are more interesting than "No they aren't, neener neener".
Yes, they do require access to classified information to do their jobs. You cannot manage people effectively if you have no idea what they are working on or visit their work areas. In fact, many basic operational details of units like this are low-level classified information, which would make command without a clearance effectively impossible.
Numenta AI researcher selected to Forbes 30 Under 30 list
I disagree, I think orderly markets are the goal. Ideally, the government should collect as little tax as possible, while providing rules that promote the good (e.g. competition) and discourage the bad (e.g. violence, externalities).
oh, they've been working on it for 8 years? Yikes

You should take a look through the error messages in Windows event viewer some time. And then press on "more info" which takes you to MSDN and says the equivalent of "there was an error in windows"
I think you miss the the irony of someone acting like a bigot calling other people stupid. If you want people to hear your message, stop pushing it with such hatred. Intelligent people stop reading and down vote you because of your bigotry; you're not even being heard. All the facts in the world don't matter when you throw out bigoted insults a 10 year old would use; be smarter. Bigotry is for the ignorant.

As I understand it, the transition to the Iron Age was largely a result of a shortage of tin (e.g. coming from Britain for the western part of the Mediterranean region). Iron weapons at the time weren't better, just more available, and no doubt steadily more as this small scale industry developed. But if you could afford it, you had a bronze sword, which is a pattern I noted a very long time ago WRT Roman legions.
One of the things I did not like is the sometimes incredibly obfuscated association of symbols with mechanics. For example, the panels with sun symbols. [Spoilers] It didn't take me incredibly long to figure out that they needed to be grouped in twos, but it did take me longer to figure out than to solve the first ~8 introductory panels. And the worst part, how is a star in any way connected with grouping by twos????

IMO, what is most interesting about schizophrenia is complex functions with direct feedback still work. People can still move, recognize objects that they see, understand language etc. It's a problem with internal highly abstract concepts which is a fraction of what the brain does. But, at the same time that internal world can get really messed up.
It's not a pity at all, someone spouting hatred doesn't deserve to be heard until he learns to stop spouting hatred.
> rosecutors and especially judges, always slow to change when change makes their jobs harder, will take longer to get used to the notion that wink-and-nod isn't going to work any more. Police unions are going to lose this fight, especially as activists are starting to become savvy to the tactical advantage of splitting Republicans between law and order fears and union busters.

I'm optimistic. State budgets are such a mess that the police unions are going to get hit hard from both sides. Young families on one hand, when police pensions start cutting into education, and fiscal conservatives on the other, who will relish the opportunity to take out public unions. The Illinois that rises out of the ashes of bankruptcy might look a lot better.
We went from a general question to discussing specifics...that is progress. It is a complicated issue so I am not surprised or dismayed that when getting to specifics things get a bit complicated.

And yes, there should be some flex based on where a person lives. It is not discriminatory (in the pejorative sense) it is pragmatic. And perhaps a useful policy tool.
>I love this statement, but the need to eat has been driving human beings for a very long time. It would be a truly profound statement if we could prove this.

You could look to many European countries for an answer. The unemployed receive welfare, now tell me how many of those are still motivated enough to do anything when there's no fear of hunger. Are these people happy receiving enough welfare to live a modest life, or do they strive to do more?

"This seems a strategic exit by VMWare to cede all desktop-hosted virtualization markets to competitors."

It's more boring than that. They've decided to offshore the jobs. The management probably believes these products are at market saturation anyway, so beyond attrition to container-oriented solutions like Docker, it's not likely Fusion or Workstation will actually go away or feel that different.

What's disappointing is that this team could have been everything Docker or Vagrant is - repeatable environments and workflow for developers.

> What value does knowing what year an obscure book was published provide for his life in general?

Agreed in general. In this specific case I should point out, however, that Things Fall Apart (1958) may be the most widely read piece of African literature. It's regularly assigned in college literature courses and is selling better on Amazon than either War and Peace or Neal Stephenson's Seveneves (to pick two that people here may have heard of.)

I passed my senior english class with a 59.5, literally as low as possible without failing. I have a total of ~2 years of credits on my ECE BS, but work as a sysadmin/devops and love it, if I finish my degree it'll just be something to hang on the wall.
