That is restricted to the US, involved whether a compatible implementation could be made using them and offered the possibility that all such implementations were actually fair use. It really is not relevant unless you are discussing making a Linux kernel replacement under a different license using the Linux kernel headers. As far as I last heard from lawyers on this, it is not considered to affect anyone until the legal battle finishes and as far as I can tell, if a oracle manages to say this is not okay, they will be in far deeper trouble over their DTrace module that circumvents GPL symbol exports than ZFSOnLinux that restricts itself to an interface intended to allow proprietary modules.
Parallax is common enough, but the way the background adapted to the content of the article was really well done IMO.
For yet another perspective, consider how you and people you know react to animal rights activists who take an Atticus-like approach to their activism compared to those who take a more militant and hard-line approach. It seems to me that most people find the first group more persuasive and harder to write off.
Yeah, they should use payday loans instead!

Seriously though, it is astonishing to me how many people are so entitled they just literally cannot understand why someone would have legitimate problems with money.

Not everyone is lucky enough to make a break out of poverty, nor is everyone born in middle class income or above. And yes, breaking out of poverty requires some luck in addition to hard work and determination.

Where do people fine Unity Jobs?
Organization I work for is finding it difficult to target or even find out how to identify where to look to hire unity developers. I'm a web developer, I will probably be writing api to power the game, but knowing where to look, place position ads etc..

Would totally appreciate some resources to look.

Even worse, the poor author has created a hacking tool capable of enabling said felony, which I believe could get them 10 or 20 years... I'm looking for the statute now.

Edit: I was mis-remembering, the current law is against possession or manufacture of eavesdropping or wiretapping devices, not hacking tools. The EU has been playing with laws against hacking tools, but apparently nothing in the US yet against it.

The law makes it illegal to distribute devices (incl. software) that the design of such [software] renders it primarily useful for the purpose of the surreptitious interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications. Punishable by not more than 5 years and/or not more than $250,000. 18 U.S.C. 2512.

I don't think this blog post qualifies as an "interception" device,... however unauthorized retrieval and recording
of another's voice mail messages constitutes an "interception" so who the hell knows. I'm sure you could find a US DA who would argue the falsified User-Agent meant the software is designed to "intercept" communication meant only for Google.
Oracle v. Google did break Oracle's way on API copyrightability, but the precedent is from the Federal Circuit (because there were also-appealed patent claims), and they wouldn't end up hearing most subsequent copyright cases... so it's all pretty murky at best.

Despite their occasional enthusiasm for overturning the Federal Circuit, the Supreme Court denied cert in the case, so this probably won't be settled any time soon.
Yeah, this is a common problem in genre fiction unfortunately. The best one I've read is "The Magicians" series by Lev Grossman. The writing is clean, concise, everything is shown and nothing told. The series is a great deconstruction of a lot of classic YA fantasy tropes and has a solid magic system. Can't recommend this series highly enough, both my literary and scifi/fantasy fan friends have all really enjoyed it.

I'd also recommend Ishiguro's The Buried Giant, very close to literary fiction.

It steps a little outside of the bounds of what we think of as "fantasy", but the magical realism genre has a lot of amazing pieces, and the genre is based around fantastical elements. My favorite example of this is "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez. "Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino is another good one.
Easy: there's a saying, you borrow somebody else's money for a time, but pay back your own and for good. So paying off debts is inherently a much less pleasant activity, which people want to avoid thinking about. Combine that with the complexity a typical financial arrangement entails, and peoples inability to comprehend basic math, and you can see why they don't manage their debt better.
I am not sure I agree that the kind of people who would need a year to save $1200 do not have the sort of credit to get a 10% APR credit card.

There are plenty of high income earners who are just as irresponsible with spending as some low income earners. I always had a good credit score during the years it would have taken me a year to save $1200.

"banning all foreign media from publishing online in China"

Seems like a contradiction. Are you publishing online, or in China?
Did it take a couple of sessions for you to be able to handle one hour in one session?

Yes. I'd remember something I had to do or get a great idea and have to pause to write it down. I later realised it was just another trick my mind will use to regain control.

The point of meditation (for me, anyway) is to stop impulsive behaviour. That means everything must wait, even scratching an itch.

Often I feel very stressed and like I'm about to break down due to the boredom. Did you experience this?

Yes. Just yesterday at about the 1 3/4 hour mark I got incredibly stir crazy. I tried breathing myself calm again, but I must have sounded like a marathon runner on the last mile. In the final 10 minutes or so I settled back in.

You just got to ride out those rough patches. The journey is as valuable as the destination.
Yeah, it was pretty easy to find that none of the plans on offer covered any of my preferred providers and all were more expensive than the open market coverage for me. However, getting the formularies for each plan and comparing them was very difficult.

Check out Robert E. Howard's Conan short stories. These are very well written and are in public domain.
i thought of doing that when the "search google" trick stopped working, but i decided it crossed the point where i would feel like i was unfairly circumventing their clear desire not to serve me the content. i've just added wsj to my mental ignore list and count it as a few more minutes gained to do something else.
I have one of these. It's gray, the GPIO is used for LCD backlight control and battery monitoring, some of the GPIO is exposed on the logic board for other uses, the display connects via the HDMI port, the keyboard and mouse via USB, the GPIO scripts are written in python and moveable to your own OS install, the keyboard is mushy mushy mushy, but I like the trackpad, and I don't use the provided pi-top OS as I encountered a number of issues even logging in on the release version.

It's a decent piece of hobby hardware and I should be able to swap in something like a Odroid-C1+ in the future.
It may be an arguable point, but I think at bare minimum she brings some value via bringing ton of cache and PR with her, so she may be a good fit for a small firm that could benefit from a lot of press and razzle dazzle.

She seems absolutely obsessed with the fashion industry (why did Yahoo need to open an office in Milan and spend $3 million sponsoring the Met Fashion Gala) so perhaps some sort of online fashion store would be a good fit, like Net-A-Porter, Shop Bob or Poylvore.
Oh wow, now I really want to see a 200-core-8088-on-FPGA! (Yeah, I know, the necessary NoC and glue would add a ton of overhead. But still!)
Z80? Yes. 8088? Eh, not really.

You may be confusing the 8088 CPU with the 8051 microcontroller, which is extremely common in embedded designs.
This is sweet. Been a while since I worked in HW after switching to full time SW but this kind of news just makes me chuckle.

Say a modern day FPGA has 10 million gates. 6 gates/LUT. That gives 1.6 million LUTS. Let's say half are used up by other IPs and IOs within the chip. 800k/308 = ~2500.

You could have 2500 of the 8088 running at 180MHz simultaneously. Why? For science.
Okay, but human nutritional needs only call for 10-15% of calories from protein. Why would you go for 70%? There are risks associated with excessive protein consumption, too.
This thing that's really challenging about Varnish and AWS is that AWS typically uses CNAMEs and not IPs, whereas Varnish binds domain names on startup. This means you'll have trouble trying to setup a Varnish cache in front of an LB.

I'm also pretty pissed about Pluto getting demoted.
I don't disagree with you. But, given the nature of this forum, I think that the information content has merit.

What people choose to do with the information is another story...
As I had explained in the parent comment, all food has protein, so it's not necessary to specially source it from a particular food. Especially when that food appears extremely unpalatable (or am I the only one who doesn't salivate at the sight of crickets?).
Let's separate the use cases: we want a permanent, public web, and we want applications that don't die when servers get shut down. IPFS clearly solves the first use case, so let's talk about the second.

In this context, IPFS is part of the toolkit for building decentralized applications. The architecture of these applications is fundamentally different from today's apps. Users control the data, not the application developer. Private data can live on the user's machine or some cloud service they trust to hold the data for them. IPFS probably isn't a good fit for private data, but public apps like a decentralized Twitter will probably use it for all of their data. Encrypting private data and storing it with IPFS will sometimes make sense.

To deal with mutable data, it depends what your goals are. If users don't need to agree with each other about the value of the data, they can store it however they want and maintain their own view of the world. If they need to agree on data that only one person can change, then you can use IPNS to manage mutable references controlled by one keypair. If users need to agree on data about their interactions with each other, then they need to use a decentralized cloud computer that can enforce rules on a historical record. We call these enforcement clouds "blockchains," and Ethereum is a blockchain that defines a process for defining new rules so application developers don't have to build their own blockchains.

Building decentralized apps with IPFS and Ethereum is the most exciting work I've ever done. It doesn't just improve the apps themselves, it fundamentally changes the economics of our industry. Most businesses are built on network effects, but decentralized apps don't bottle up the value of their networks: they give them to their users.

That's more like the world I want to live in. If you want to be a part of this change, you should join us at ConsenSys, or join the decentralization movement in general.
You're basically dismissing all protein-rich foods.
Sure, technically, they can pass whatever laws they want as a sovereign nation. This would make it less costly from a "political capital" standpoint, though, and thus presumably more likely for them to do it. FTA:

The White House has told Beijing that it has major concerns about its new counterterrorism law, a somewhat vague piece of legislation that may require American companies to hand over encryption keys and provide backdoor access to their computer systems.

“This is something that I’ve raised directly with President Xi,” President Obama told Reuters last year. “We have made it very clear to them that this is something they are going to have to change if they are to do business with the United States.”

Those demands will be harder to make if the federal government succeeds in getting Apple to give up its fight, according to one of the Senate’s leading voices on technology policy.
Exactly my first reaction.

At the moment we get hundreds of Locky mails per day.

Riding my motorcycle to work, I might bend a few laws - especially as London increasingly becomes 20mph throughout. But it reduces my commute from ~35 minutes (flow of traffic) to ~17 (filtering and exercising discretion when there's good visibility on an clear road, as is frequently the case since that's what traffic lights do - clear the road).

The twenty minutes or so morning and evening, 35-40 minutes overall is not to be sniffed at. The round trip on public transport would be well over 90 minutes.
Its biggest asset is $30B worth of Alibaba. However, Mayer stated that she wants to separate that from the core of Yahoo operations, so it might not factor into any sale deal.
The way I view it is that it sets the stage for the FBI to request from the court that Apple retain the ability to build software that can break into all future iPhones. IMO, that gulf is much smaller to cross than alter public builds in the future. It is more like, don't add this feature.

Basically, the FBI can argue that Apple did this before and must keep doing it in the future. Making the device such that they cannot respond to a request could be viewed as going against the court. "I'd love to give you that document again, but now I burn them all so you cannot have them."
Legally it might, I don't know.

Morally, I'm not sure.

1. If they allowed all bots but disallowed all non-bots, that would raise questions of what defines a "bot". Couldn't I write a personal bot that fetches the story for me? As a browser addon, even?

2. It's even more complex since allowing bots means they allow tools that provide the information to third parties, as the bots are not intended for private use by the bot maker. So the door is already open.

3. But in practice, it seems they favor certain bots. Is it ok that the WSJ lets Google do things Google's competitors cannot? Try to use the "web link" trick from HN on any other search engine, and it doesn't work in my experience. That seems anti-competitive and discriminatory in favor of the existing dominant entity in this space, Google.
I know Keynes is the default bogeyman in some circles of economic thinking, but I'm really struggling to see the link between established corporations having brands and governments running countercyclical policy...

Bearing in mind most newspapers' circulation is crashing and Buzzfeed got very big very quickly peddling similarly lowbrow content, I'm not even convinced the market power of print media is that high.
> Yes, that may be worth it. But almost always isn't.

I don't disagree with you, but until you provide some evidence this is just the opinion of some random stranger on the internet, and should be taken with a pound of salt.
The service can also be discontinued. And that is what mostly often happens. Big improvements like what you're imagining are rare.

If you don't have any sort of budget, making more won't solve your problems.
Playing devils advocate here: you're spending $1200 a year on coffee. With that money you could not only buy a really nice coffee machine and make it yourself every morning, but also have a bunch of money leftover to put towards your loans, invest, put towards a nice vacation, etc.

The idea is that those small daily expenses tend to add up, and there may be a lot more of them than you realized.
That's the prisoner dilemma, and leads to the expected results.

My understanding is that about 75% of households use credit cards. So, that's about half of them.
I made an argument and backed it up with a series of technical points. Feel free to disregard my opinion piece in the end there.

How "i'm coming across" is at best irrelevant, at worst a silly attempt to avoid the issue. Either stay on topic and address the points I made or don't post at all.

Sooo tl;dr: is that chickens use more water, produce more manure, and tend to be butchered away from the farms, but the study was still correct in it's food to protein conversions being almost the same between poultry and crickets?
Insulting to whom? He just likes the one quote more than the other. There's nothing more to be read into it.
I think such people are talking about different things. One is more coarse-grain, talking about the story, pacing and themes. The other is more fine-grain, talking about the individual word choices and language play.
That, plus at least one of the authors in question (Oracle, nee Sun) appears to have picked a license deliberately to ensure that ZFS couldn't be distributed with Linux. They were otherwise happy to dual-license with some form of GPL where it suited them; Apple dropped the thing like a hot rock too.

A read of the license text is one thing, the intent of the author is quite another...

A more significant problem is that mainstream media publications often actively dislike each others' editorial stance, so the last thing they want to do is agree on a way of mutually endorsing each others' content. The UK, for example, has one right wing broadsheet, one left wing broadsheet that repeatedly attacks allegedly sloppy journalism at the right wing broadsheet and one notionally centrist broadsheet (run by a media empire that makes a lot of money from tabloids). None of them are likely to be receptive to the idea of certifying each other as being more reliable than other news sources.
I'm surprised that most online papers won't sell you one day's worth online for a buck or so. Like buying a real newspaper.

In free software project, some users push to far the idea that software belongs to them, their creator included.

Just to be clear, if the guy is dead, well he does not care anymore.

If he is alive he has most likely opted out of the web since web access is almost not a blocking factor.

Hence, it is a choice or it is death, and in both case if a project cannot survive any of this outcome it is dead itself.

That is what I fear will happen to a lot of free software/open source projects in the future since very few core commiters tends to produce the majority of commits for long times.
Shame these aren't the articles that go viral.

This happened near where I live. There was a small bridge under construction in an otherwise unremarkable county where it is common practice to speed 10 over on the highway, so 65 mph actual speed.

They dragged on the construction for more than a year making barely any progress so that they could keep the construction zone open. (2x fines) The bridge was crossing a ravine at the bottom of a hill so they just kept a couple cops parked there every day and pulled over everyone with an out of state license plate all day and the county made millions. Eventually people caught on and sued. Bridge was finished nearly immediately after that.
I am homeless. I have never spent a night in a shelter. I prefer sleeping in a tent. It is cleaner and more humane. The services aimed at helping the homeless are mostly pretty revolting. The free meals are lower quality than fast food. The emergency shelters have mold problems. And you get crowded in with other sick, poor, desperate people to have a shot at the dregs they are willing to provide you.

This is part of why I have this blog:
http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/

Homeless people need the same things other people need: Work that works for them and other middle class solutions that are largely disappearing from an increasingly polarized America. But what they are offered is mostly contempt and really low quality options and services rooted in a broken, abusive, horrifying set of mental models. And then we are vilified for not being adequately grateful for the shit offered to us.

I don't want to be homeless. But, yeah, I prefer this to the vastly shittier alternatives available to me.

I wonder how much extra space it would take to emulate all the weird-ass IBM XT peripherals and end up with a true 8088 embeddable-system-on-a-chip? Plug that into a cheapo SD card (or even a serial EEPROM) and you'd have a standalone machine that would run DOS.

That could actually be useful.
I'm pretty sure Google will soon stop indexing WSJ. Why index something if the vast majority of users cannot access the pages behind the links?

EDIT: The "paste a headline into Google" trick still works for me, though. If this continues to be the case, they will keep indexing, of course.

Just because Bezos makes some investments doesn't make him a VC ('runs a VC,' as you put it, isn't the same thing and also isn't really accurate). His primary job is running Amazon, and the idea that he's got his hands in all kinds of pies ('it's dangerous to say he won't do X') is just an illusion he's been very successful at creating.
