I dunno, I think there are plenty of legitimate reasons to search Google for "pirated movies" other than pirating them. Maybe you want to find out whether your movie is being pirated; maybe you want to find out which movies are most pirated right now (you're doing research, or you're a journalist, or you're a sociologist, or an investor, or a police officer, or whatever); maybe you want to learn more about the law of "pirated movies"; maybe you're looking for an old blog post or newspaper article that you know contained the term, or was about, "pirated movies"; etc, etc.

In general, I think it's extremely difficult to demonstrate anything about intent or state of mind from search queries alone... you would have to provide more contextual evidence.
Yes, surely that must have been satire, and Uber employees thought it was hilarious?
Oh man, I've never seen that before. I think the folks at that agency were DEFINITELY high when they came up with that report.

It's probably more along the lines of, "the law could be interpreted this way, and you might find yourself on the wrong side of a court case where a hotshot government prosecutor is trying to make a name for him- or herself by pushing the boundaries of how the law can be interpreted." For example, the case where the US government tried to say that breaking a website's ToS was "unauthorized access of a website" and ran afoul of anti-hacking laws.

That's a fine question to ask. Yes, using a typedef for this purpose is good practice. It's debatable if it's a good idea to add the abstraction of a typedef if you don't need the flexibility, but if you are trying to write generic code in C, a typedef like this is the best approach.

The only real alternative would be a a preprocessor define, which is even more "heavyweight". A define written in uppercase might be better if you want to signify that it's something changeable, but the typedef is probably slightly safer.

The real issue here is not the typedef, but the name choice. "float_t" is a reserved name, and it's unlikely to be a good idea to typedef a reserved name. Counter to common practice, all typenames ending with "_t" are actually reserved by Posix[1] and thus arguably should be avoided for user code.

Assuming Perforce, or perforce like system. Couple of things.

//depot/main/game - all your code + exported (but not yet converted) data lives there. You can give this to QA, Build manager, scripter, coder and they can build a level, compile the game, tools, etc. if needs so. By exported here is what I mean:
- Exported textures, models, sound, etc data ready to be further on converted to platform specific formats. The original data was kept in //depot/source

Keep several department oriented //depot/source p4 views. Each specific department would get mapped this in their view, others would not.

//depot/source/sound - For example big huge 24-bit sound files + whatever other extras ProTools or other software writes. Suitable for sound folks to keep their project settings, experiments, settings, but not suitable for everyone else to see.

//depot/source/textures - Your big ass huge PSD, or whatever else source files - containing all layers that you've built your textures, or whatever else a texture/material department might see fit (there might be more than one - character, environment, etc. departments with different organizations). Not suitable for the main team, great for whoever works on textures.

//depot/source/animations - For example big huge FBX MotionBuilder or something else files. Suitable for animation people to edit, but not suitable for the game tools to read them and convert them every time.
//depot/source/models - etc. - your big ass again .3DS, .MA/.MB, even .FBX files. Great for modelers, not great for everyone.

//depot/source/something-else

You might even have external people working for you, you don't put their stuff directly with your stuff (legal maters, payment, review process, etc.)

//depot/outsource/BlamStudio/textures

//depot/outsource/BlamStudio/models

//depot/outsource/CoreySounds/sound

//depot/outsource/OrchestraYou/music

You also don't want them to have access to everything you do, and you need to establish way to review their assets and how to communicate work - what needs to be done, requirments, etc.

.....................

So a typical game developer would only need

//depot/main/game

some studios would even submit back converted data, for example:

//depot/build/game/data/ps4

//depot/build/game/data/xbone

//depot/build/game/data/wiiu

//depot/build/game/data/pc

others prefer to convert while building. For example all huge ass PSD files with lots of layers were probably exported as .TIFF, .PNG, even .JPG for insanely big backdrops, and from then on these would get converted to swizzled optimized textures - for example on all iPhone/iPads you get PowerVR chip, and it has PVRTC texture compression, unlike ETC, DXT for PC.

It all depends also on your team.

So a WiiU only programmer, might just sync

# Not ideal locations, but something that might work:

//depot/main/game/... c:/blah/game/

//depot/build/game/data/wiiu/... c:/blah/game/build/data/wiiu
Sure, but the court isn't being asked to consider a personal ad page or comment thread, or a case in which the copyright status of the linked-to material was remotely uncertain. There are other precedents in favour of publishers to fall back on in those circumstances.

What's actually brought the case is a situation where (i) the publisher had good reason to believe the material was infringing when they initially published the link (ii) the entire purpose of running the story was to encourage people to access the infringing material and (iii) when the copyright holder objected and got the original material taken down, the publisher gleefully republished an alternate link to the same material. They weren't posting personal ads for pottery enthusiasts, they were posting "if your drug dealer just got busted then try calling these ones instead".

What they court is actually being asked to rule on is whether [intentionally] linking to unauthorised means of accessing copyrighted material can ever be a copyright violation, and if so, how wilful does the plaintiff have to prove the publisher's infringement was and should the plaintiff also have to prove other factors such as the linked-to copyright-violating site not being already well known to the public. The question concerns whether being one remove from the infringing content makes you immune from any threat of suit rather than who the burden of proof lies upon.

You mean shortcuts placed in the All Users Desktop/QuickLaunch/StartMenu folders? (I'm guessing it's just "hiding" them with a Desktop.ini entry, rather than truly deleting them?)

That's probably fine, actually, as long as the user (i.e. malware) isn't allowed to create their own shortcuts to replace the deleted ones. I assume there's a GPO to disable the per-user Desktop/QuickLaunch/StartMenu folders, so that only the results from the All Users ones show up?
Sadly, I have been a vicitm of idea debt. As a young developer I had a grande vision of starting an online network of websites. I spent a solid month planning them all out, designing the logos and everything. Needless to say, when I showed the work to my boss he was less than impressed that I put off client work to plan our company's world domination.

I still have all the logos :)

Hi Michael,

This is the first I've heard of the softcover platform.

After some research it looks like it was posted on HN about 2 years ago, but there's only a handful of books posted on the platform compared to let's say leanpub who has a few thousand.

Since you just posted this book on softcover, it's safe to say you're still happy using it, but why aren't more authors choosing your platform?

You would think after 2 years it would have gained traction, especially considering how big your reach is from previously successful tutorials and books.

I'm a content author and softcover looks nice. My main issue with leanpub is that all sales data is anonymous and you can't obtain e-mail addresses of your readers and your platform seems to solve that.
Just updated so I could see the new app icon and actually loled IRL. Someone trolling pretty hard, they couldn't even put the U rightside up. Glad to see they're spending that 2x preference money wisely.
I don't think I understand. Why would they go to the trouble to launch this API, make claims of being able to process payments, etc. if it is "useless"?

Branding has an element of magic to it. You are conjuring something up out of thin air with the intended effect of surprising and delighting the people that see it.

The act of magic is to pay very very close attention to the little details that others miss, in order to produce illusions. For a brand, this is done largely at the executive / investor level. A few people create a belief system that the whole company can buy into.

Part of this belief system is the way the company is designed. The "content-free" dubstep video is an excellent demonstration of how the high-level concepts conjured up by the branding team slowly wind their way through the company.

Every company is in a constant battle for relevance in the hearts and minds of the people that work for it and the people that patronize it. If you don't keep fighting it, then people slowly stop caring and before you know it, you've got Uber drivers beating up their riders. That stuff is going to happen anyway, but again, it's the small details that matter, such as how the company responds to it.

I didn't think the video was particularly profound, but it did remind me of what makes Uber such a great idea and a great company. Little details like the ones I saw in the design video would subtly remind me of the magic that Uber is trying to conjure every time I used the app.
Right, but if Google Apple Microsoft Amazon etc. get together and lobby to end software patents, they can overwhelm the trolls.
Before shredding this mess, let us first give credit where it is due. They did get the age of the universe about right. General consensus right now places it at 13.8 billion years, and that is when all matter in the universe was created. However, not all atoms were “born” then, as they indicate, as most have been generated through fusion in stars and supernova.

To be pedantic at the level the madartlab.com folks seem to be going after, the video doesn't state that all atoms were born 13.8 billion years ago. It says "the atom" was born 13.8 billion years ago. This is correct.

http://patrickgrant.com/BBTL.htm

It took 300,000 years for conditions to get the point where neutral atoms could form. That's still about 13.8 billion years ago to a reasonable margin of error. It's entirely correct to say that "the atom" was born then. This is the point in time from which the cosmic microwave background dates from, so it's arguably our view of the Big Bang.

We'll see about the rest of the video now.

> Yet free speech advocates are all for forcing private institutions to open their platforms to any and all speech.

No, they are not in favor of forcing them to do so. You are making the unfortunately common mistake of confusing advocating something with making it legally required. These are not the same thing, and you'll be a more convincing advocate for your side once you really get that.

What free-speech advocates are stating is that while private universities are legally allowed to ban speakers, because as you correctly state they have no obligation to provide a platform to anyone or anything they don't want to... that this is illiberal behavior, not in the spirit of freedom of speech, and these universities are not living up to their claimed principles when they do it.

Which it is.

Not really. Even if nobody signed up for Uber, there's plenty of companies investing in self-driving cars. Once there's a fully autonomous car on the market, the job of taxi driver is done for (with or without Uber).

Look up primers on us power generation, should be a section mentioning ercot and highlighting its unique features. Agree that cities could own last mile (preferable really). But, and this is a big but, they're not always well equipped to do so. Mismanagement on their part could be even worse. Though Canadian provinces seem to be pretty successful with their crown corporations like Hydo One. But I understand those are separately managed utilities that buy some power, make some power, and transmit power. Interestingly hydro one ipo'd last year. Could look at their ipo filings to understand its history.
Uber's driver-partners are in desperate need of cash too. I wonder how the uber brand gets valued at $62 billion - all the company owns is code, all the transportation assetts belong to the drivers...
You (and many others on HN) have highlighted what will be the dominant issue in global civ, "incumbent wealth owns everything (IP) and fuck the poor".

Note: I made KBUSER a variable because `keybase status` takes about a second to run.

Paid Time Off App Using WorkFlow Conditions
I spent time at Apple and Sun. And we did have the concept of "firing" customers who were too hard to work with. At the same time, no customer would have been fired for the exchange I read (in another article.) This is just another CEO who gets to punish people as he sees fit.

We need a better way to structure business. I'd like to see multi-level boards with representatives from different interest groups (A modified "corporatism" or "corporativism" as has been successfully practiced for over a century.)
This is awesome! I had been wanting EXACTLY this for a long time now. I'm not a UX / design person, but I appreciate the impact that it has. Normally I'll just look at what others are doing and implement my own variations on it, but it's difficult to find small examples, and exploring stuff in websites such as dribbble is tedious.
