It seems obvious one should pay damages for making false copyright claims.

But.... why should we tolerate copyrights? What is in it for me?

I kinda like the idea of people doing paid work. If someone wants a something-for-nothing kind of formula they should pay for it themselves rather than creating an impossible burden for others (if not the whole world)

One can get enough funding before creating a work or before releasing it. After release the audience can make donations and/or chose to fund future works. This should be good enough for what we need.

Before we chose/prefer global mass persecution until the end of time over the crowd funding formula we should first have a good reason for it. Failure to preserve history for that extra bit of entertainment exploitation is not worth it. Not just because it fails to be entertaining.

I can't think of any but there might be a few works important enough for copyright to be an ideal formula but we can't expect it to work on the scale we are having it on right now.

At the very least a lack of license should default to something like creative commons. (If I rub a bit of snot on some paper I don't want to own the rights to it.)

If enough people want a copyrighted work they are going to get it anyway. The "dream" of artificial scarcity with infinite exploitation has ended. We have to write realistic laws now. Something that doesn't violate basic logic.

We the audience would gladly pay for a new season of Star trek. I suppose the fear here is that the audience would have influence on the programming?

I think the problem is that coders who realize that their form can't handle many common characters don't make a specialized error message, they just fix the problem. Basic Latin Unicode support isn't hard to do. If you've written code that can't handle it, you very likely aren't aware that you've made a mistake.

> You're boiling down a complex concept to "supporting racism"

It's not complex. An infamous author of racist texts who also happens to do technology shows up at another tech conference and goes, "Wink wink nod nod I think black people make good slaves but we can be patient about that and passively do it."

There is no threat to his speech. There is every threat to his avenues for podiums from which to speak in public. No one is saying he can't attend. They're saying they don't want to go to a conference that gives a podium to a devout racist.

> At the same time, what do his purposely self-anonymized writings have to do with his code?

Nothing. This has nothing to do with his code. It never has been. Why do you keep bringing it up? Are you going to perhaps say, "Because it's a tech conference?" Because I'd reply, "Because it is a tech conference." It takes place between people, and only serves its attendees.

> Is it just me or do you seem to revel in this?

I loathe that this is my responsibility. I loathe that this is a thing we even have to discuss. I hate that these assinine actions and weak justifications need to be shot down again. They're boring, they're tiresome, they're morally baseless and intellectually bankrupt.

But I also feel like collecting bad actors in my peer group and helping to censure them is important. My reasons for that are my own.
There's a simple solution to that, set people free. We don't need to build more prisons, we already imprison more of our population than any other country in the world, we have too many prisons and too many people in them. We need to imprison less people. Release all inmates who committed victim-less crimes, if more room is needed, release all inmates who committed non violent crimes-there are better ways to deal with them than prison. Prison should be for violent criminals only. Release all drug users, release all drug pushers, none of those people belong in jail.
TDD Beyond Basics: Fakes and Mocks
Yup and you hear an echo of his voice (presumably because she's in an adjoining room). That wasn't pre-recorded.
Thought experiment:

What would happen if the laws were amended so that, should someone be sentenced to prison time, and all prisons within a reasonable radius are at capacity, that either the person with the lowest amount of time to serve in that prison (barring violent offenses) is automatically set free, or the sentence is commuted to probation or such?

There's an argument to be made here that cramming two people into a parking-space-sized cell is unconstitutionally cruel and unusual, so the state really should have to decide if placing Joe Potsmoker in for a year is worth releasing Bill Burgalar five years early. Just saying "fuck it, throw 'em all in" shouldn't be an option.

(This is assuming that prison has any reformative value at all, of course...)
In case anyone's curious, the DTMF digits in the 'Unrelated and Strange' ISP call are 99937501. I presume 9 for outside line, then 993-7501 for a local number.

Build a Prospect List that Leverages Your Relationships
So, an idea:

How much work would it take to segregate just the augmented reality displays as a pair of glasses that a user can wear while receiving the display data wirelessly? I say this because once you can do that, you can have (for instance) an executive conference room setup with a number of identical conference rooms scattered around the world, each with a server performing the hololens rendering logic and rendering across _n_ glasses per room. No bulky hololens computers-on-head and an eerily realistic recreation of one conference room with all participants in-room.

I don't know the exact patents Microsoft filed on the display technology they have for the visors, but I suspect it's not yet easy enough to compress them into anything close to Google Glass yet (you'd need larger glass in any case), but one can hope.
I like how you work, can you please contact me?
I purchased an ODROID a couple years ago and got nowhere with it due to a lack of support. They had like one developer and over-committed and under-delivered. I'd never buy one again.
Unfortunately it bakes in analytics that feed data back to King, not even you. Basically they're getting you to do the dirty work of getting them more entries in their customer tracking databases without them having to even make another Whale Acquisition Saga.

Also you're not in control of your own source code. It's stored on King's servers. I'm not trusting them with my shit.
Sorry for the slow reply...was in meetings.

I fully agree. Using Redis for only simple use cases greatly under utilizes its capabilities.

> the person supervising you has at least an ounce of development experience.

In my experience, they were a developer for a couple of years 15-20 years ago and while they might think they're still a developer, they're generally more clueless than a manager who has no development background.

The absolute best manager's I've ever had were one's who still did at least some active development on the product. I know that's hard for a manager to fit in to a busy schedule but I really feel like there should be concessions made in the organization for this to happen.

Well, prison populations are actually really complicated.

There's a good piece at The Marshall Project discussing this, with an interesting interactive that illustrates how difficult it would be to dramatically reduce the prison population by only focusing on nonviolent drug offenders:

The drug war was a massive overreach. It's not 100% of the overcrowded prisons problem though, they're related but somewhat independent challenges.

I'm sometimes called my middle name, which I am not using.

In Swedish, it seems that the rhythm or composition of the full name is rather important, so a lot of people are goes by their middle name. I guess my second name seems more probable as a name.

Example: "Erik Lars Svensson" is not ok, but "Lars Erik Svensson" is. "Anna Sofia" is ok, but "Sofia Anna" is not.

Sometimes the proper name is capitalized like this: Lars ERIK Svensson...

This happens. Not on a 1:1 basis, but early release to alleviate overcrowding somewhat is not unheard of.

The careers of the politicians responsible are eviscerated, spectacularly, when the people they released go on to commit violent crimes.
Arguably since little harm was done the net outcome should be positive, as it draws further attention to the security weaknesses in modern infrastructure. Personally, whether or not I would call it "hacktivism" would be dependent on whether or not that positive outcome was intentional. The article doesn't really seem to have any evidence either way.
You keep writing words to the effect that "your first name is your legal name" with full cultural blinders on. I was born in Quebec (Canada) and, for many generations, almost all boys from French speaking families were named Joseph second_name third_name Surname, and all girls were named Marie second_name third_name Surname. Most people use their third_name where you would use your first_name. Every legal document that I have (including my passport) is based on my "legal" third_name Surname.

<this post has 5 points but is not on the ASK page>

Wouldn't it have needed "Ask HN:" preceding the title for that? I don't think upvotes (or lack thereof) determine presence on the ask page.
A company I used to work for ran into some trouble when a customer attempted to change their payment information on the company's website. All attempts resulted in a rather frightening (to the user) "Access Denied" screen. The customer's last name was "Curl."
Even if your hobby is replying to all the people on HN who are Wrong On The Internet, that's still less time-intensive than having a kid.
> [He] shows up at another tech conference and goes, "Wink wink nod nod I think black people make good slaves but we can be patient about that and passively do it."

... this is a really unfortunate way to carry a discussion. And I'll remind you that he's not carrying his ideals to the conference. That'd be against the Pledge, as well as against his public statement in the article.

> There is no threat to his speech.

I'll say it again. "I don't recall saying anything about censorship." I didn't say anything about free speech or censorship.

> [...] a devout racist.

> Why do you keep bringing [his code] up?

What does race have to do with it? What doesn't his code have to do with it? It is indeed a tech conference, and I believe that anyone who has an interest in tech and is willing to follow the rules should be able to attend.

He has given every indication of those two things.

It does take place between people, you're right. But do you think he's going to be an awful person in person? And I'll quote back again to my previous post: "is his mere presence such an affront to you? Are you really unable to exist in the same space as a racist? I understand that those views are fundamentally wrong and really awful. But what does his presence have to do with it? Can you explain to me a scenario where his presence is a factor in the equation?"

It does not dis-serve the attendees of the conference for him to be able to go.

> I loathe that this is my responsibility.

This is your responsibility? What?

> [...] morally baseless and intellectually bankrupt.

Can you explain to me why you feel this to be the case?

And I agree that criticizing bad actors is a perfectly okay thing to do, within reason. I disagree with the idea that the shitstorm surrounding this is reasonable. This is totally excluding someone from a community. And as much as I agree with your right to have your opinion, I disagree with the idea of taking action on such an opinion.

I just can't fathom it. I don't get it. And I don't think that his racism in a totally different context precludes him from being able to participate in a conference.
We look at the list of available plugin updates and cringe. You never know if one plugin update will break something else, and then it's a game of downgrade/upgrade until things mostly work.
Yea, perhaps. Like in the recent "face2face: realtime face capture and re-enactment video"[1]. and your reference to "your avatar" reminds me of the scene from the matrix where Morpheus describes "residual self-image"[2]

>Being against the prison industrial complex feels good, but in doing so you become directly, personally responsible for the fact that there are now 3 people in a cell meant for one

if you trace whom prison guard unions support you'd notice that it is the prison-industrial complex who is a major player responsible for incarcerating more people. Having crowded prisons helps a lot to overcome any opposition to new prisons exactly because of the logic like yours.
Cool, thanks for that. I'll mail this one to our infrastructure team, but it's sad to see that this isn't installed by default.
It still does not mean it's worth 20-30bn. These are fads, that may decline after they run for a few seasons before they make that kind of money.

It doesnt scale vertically either. Postgres is single-threaded meaning it can't make use of multiple CPU cores on the same machine. There have been some slow improvements to this and 9.6 seems to hint at some parallel aggregation changes but overall Postgres is strong in features but weak in scaling (in any direction).
Well, some in the trans group consider being a woman a choice.
Just to be clear, the Lisp code you describe sounds very amateurish. Like the code described in the post, its quality is a function of the programmer, not a function of Lisp. No professional Lisp programmer would write double-reverse consing lists for a serious application. He/she would use a tail-consing structure, an array, or (if it was Common Lisp) objects, as you did. The fact that they tried to speed this up by translating everything literally to C rather than first trying better algorithms and data structures is another red flag suggesting inexperience.
"Either:

- It is wrong to denigrate any group (religion, race, ethnicity, etc); or

- It is okay to denigrate any group (religion, race, ethnicity, etc); or

- It is wrong to denigrate certain groups (religion, race, ethnicity, etc) but not others.

It appears that we're in the third category."

Because someone has said that supporting slavery is deeply, possibly unforgivably, wrong?

Your third category is "religion, race, ethnicity, etc". Where does "believes some people were born to be slaves and others were born to be their masters" fit into that?

Again, you're making a slippery slope argument, in what you call a "different way", but it looks the same to me. Perhaps I'm still not understanding you.

Am I understanding that you believe no groups should ever be denigrated? So, we shouldn't denigrate white supremacists and neo-Nazis? Why not? We shouldn't denigrate mass murderers? Why not? We shouldn't denigrate dictators? How about religious fundamentalists who prevent girls from getting an education because they are girls? Can I denigrate them? They aren't physically hurting anyone, they aren't "violent". But, I think the civilized world should shun them.

There are, in fact, groups that most of us denigrate. I don't think repugnant beliefs should be considered sacred or free from criticism. Who makes those decisions? Well, I do, you do, organizations do, sometimes governments do.

"Therefore, whoever gets to define that list is in a position of great power to punish some while excusing others for the same action."

You're begging the question, and not answering mine.

"And - as we've seen - since the stakes seem to be the livelihoods of the people involved, it's an important conversation to have."

I have not seen that. Has this person lost their job because someone doesn't want to go to a conference with them? Though I would be entirely comfortable with overt racism and support of human slavery being a firing offense at any company.

Again, slippery slope is a fallacy. Supporting slavery is not a religion, a race, an ethnicity, an age, a gender, a sexual preference, or any other protected class.
I agree completely. That's why many people on HN are upset because they think it's just a joke and can't comprehend why anyone is upset. I tried to phrase my comment as "I hear ya, but have you considered x?" I gave up half way through and decided to call them crybabies.

Both the Verge and Engadget shut down their comment forums because they got tired of racist and sexist comments. I wonder if HN will root out the bigotry here.

Maybe they are incorrect, but my anecdotal experience in both San Antonio and Seattle makes them seem in line.

I realize that I'll probably never get something like this, but dang, that was cool.There seemed to be a distinct quality difference in the realtime created models, and the prerecorded models. The realtime ones had issues, where as the prerecorded ones (like the girl with the dog) were smooth and nice. I definitely think that if this goes mainstream, higher quality models will be generated in most cases and only use real time stuff if there isn't one available.
