That's covered by their terms of service, quoted in the OP:

"Your Content belongs to you. You decide whether and how to license it. But at a minimum, you license npm to provide Your Content to users of npm Services when you share Your Content. That special license allows npm to copy, publish, and analyze Your Content, and to share its analyses with others."

Services like this have to account for such rights in their terms of service, because distribution is a minefield even for properly-licensed packages. For example, the MIT license covers only "this software and associated documentation files", which AFAICT means that if you have e.g. a screenshot in your repo then conceivably you could request a DMCA takedown on anyone distributing your repo. Likewise GPL doesn't cover anything but code, not even documentation (you're expected to remember to explicitly use the GNU Free Documentation License to cover that).

IANAL, so I'd be happy if someone who was would chime in with any corrections.
I'm excited about this too- I almost always choose OpenBSD for small, single-role servers, because it runs so well on small hardware like Soekris single board machines, and the maintenance is so low with OpenBSD that I rarely have to touch a machine again after setting it up.
i think this article would have more power behind it if instead of linking everywhere the author included a few of the graphs within the article itself.

The context of your Federalist Papers quote is in regards to separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial) and not indirect vs. direct democracy.

Tyranny of the majority and mob rule are just pejorative synonyms for democracy. Which would you rather have, tyranny by the majority or tyranny by a minority (i.e. monarchy/oligarchy/dictatorship)? Personally I'd argue for something else altogether.

At one end of the debate was the likes of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams who argued for the "tyranny of the majority" (democracy) and at the other was the likes of Alexander Hamilton, who wanted Oligarchy:

>I believe the British government forms the best model the world ever produced, and such has been its progress in the minds of the many, that this truth gradually gains ground. This government has for its object public strength and individual security. It is said with us to be unattainable. All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and well born, the other the mass of the people. The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true in fact. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in the government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second, and as they cannot receive any advantage by a change, they therefore will ever maintain good government.

-Alexander Hamilton, Farrand's Records of the Federal Convention, v. 1, p. 299.1787-06-19

It would indeed be nice to delegate to the experts (i.e. scientists, engineers, psychologists etc.) on relevant issues, rather than having climate change deniers[1] on the Environmental Committee and people who have never sent an email[2] in their life on the Committee for Privacy and Technology.

Thanks! What's great about HN is that we often get great comments from relevant experts and, as a community, we know how to differentiate between anecdotes and statistically relevant data. It's why the quality of comments is so high.

So to put the question to rest once and for all and to verify the claims from Pelham studies, here are a few questions:

- Do you bake?

- Is that your job?

- If not, would there be reasons for it to contradict Pelham's rigorous studies? did you maybe marry into your name?

Thank you for advancing science! You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!
Open Arms for Open Source: Dell SharePlex and EDB Team Up
This looks awesome, been oscillating between Google Keep, OneNote, and Quiver, but never entirely satisfied.

To me, code highlighting and checkboxes that ident properly like an outline are key, and they seem to be well done here. Minor thing: tried ```javascript and it didn't work, doing ``` did engage the code editor but I can't seem to select the language.

Congrats on the launch, will be spending more time with this later...
Ah OK, I hadn't thought of potential energy in permanent storage.
I wanted to join their previous Line effort, but re-read my insurance policy and found it falls under prohibited commercial driving. The terms now encompass any participation in online ride-coordinating services. Government needs to step in because individually the insurers have no incentive to allow this.
Yesterday I discovered that OpenBSD runs well in EC2, but EBS attachments are silently ignored. :(

Germany has the concept 'people of public interest' for which different rules concerning media appearance and photographs apply. Politicians are an example. You could argue that it applies in this case as well.

Wrong country of course, but the idea as an ethical code is out there, that the public has some right for information on some, and only some, people.
I have a per-job image specified in my build files. As I understand it, the runner image is just the default.
I'm not 100% sure if there's ever been rulings about metadata vs in-tree, but agree having it in-tree as well would be helpful.

npm's lawyers were intimately involved in this new policy, so I can assure you they don't have a problem with it.
Knowing the exact location in the genome, they amplified the target sequence from the DNA (using PCR) and sequenced it verifying the modification.
Would be interested to see a rematch between Lee and AlphaGo. The analogy between tricking image recognition with specific artifacts and finding weak points or flaws in other AI applications in the article is great; given enough games I'm confident Lee will find the flaws and be able to reliably exploit them.
It's worse from a work perspective. Designers end up with multi-hundred MB PSD files where multiple people cannot work with the same document concurrently.

It does nothing to help their consistency, since you cannot define common styles to be reused.

And it has a trickle-down effect, where any developer working with the files now needs a license to open the document.
Author here, this is a book I've been writing in the past few months about my favourite game-making framework of yet - a port of the excellent flixel framework for Haxe.

I used it to make https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leongame.p... and found the development process very rewarding.

HaxeFlixel 4.0.0 came out just a few weeks ago and it's a massive update with lots of improvements - great time to start making games if you ever wanted to experiment with this field.
Which have you had problems with.

It is a weighting function (not the sole strategy), so you can add additional weightings or constraints. For example, you can target nodes with specific labels which some people are using to target GPU nodes. What did you have in mind?
[Why am I even talking about condoms on HN?]

You need to pay premium to get the thin ones and use plenty of lube. If you get the right ones, you will get all the normal feelings (heat, pressure, etc.) except for the wetness. It will not be the exact same feeling as sexual intercourse without a condom, but it will be close enough. That's a small price to pay to be safe with that one-nigh hookup.

If condoms are really an issue for you, get a stable partner that is on birth control.

I do not use condoms very often since I am in a stable relationship, but if I can manage to have a load of fun using sleeves that are as thick as dozen condoms and covered with speed bumps from time to time, surely you can manage the occasional thin rubber.
I might feel upset, I guess. If you don't want that to happen, don't do anything newsworthy.
But how is writing a console.log statement quicker than simply clicking on a line number to set a break point and then inspecting what ever you want?

Four Concerns That Must Be Addressed Before IoT Can Really Take Off in 2016
I wonder if it will recommend a regular Lyft driver if there are no carpool matches.
It appears that by publishing, you accept their terms in allowing them to distribute the package [1]. They also say they won't run the code directly (although they may analyze it), which might sidestep certain license issues. My guess is that it's no different than posting it on your own website and having the Internet Archive back it up.

(IANAL. Just doing my best to interpret their policy.)

Works fine here
This really doesn't seem to address the core issues with NPM.

Packages need to be signed with GPG. Full stop. If anyone is running unsigned executable code blindly, they've already failed. You might as well be running .exe files emailed to you by a Nigerian prince.

https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/4016

Oh. Wow. I'm at a loss for words after finding that... I hope NPM are seriously rethinking this position. shasums are definitely not a substitute for validating gpg signatures by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyway, the worries about package removal are misplaced. If production application builds depend on the central NPM repository, they are set up incorrectly. Dependencies should be proxied via a local dependency repository like Sonatype Nexus or Artifactory. It is unprofessional to have builds set up with dependency directly on a repository not under local control.

If you need to convince someone in charge why you need to do this, I recommend this presentation:

I've been really happy with Dropbox Paper (invite only right now, http://paper.dropbox.com, an article overviewing it: http://www.techinsider.io/hands-on-with-dropbox-paper-2015-1...).

Canvas looks strikingly similar to this (almost exactly the same aesthetically), and I'm curious what the "killer feature(s)" are which give it an advantage over Paper, which is developed by a much larger company (Dropbox).
Just called a friend in Baghdad over Skype about an hour ago and I can confirm that there are massive outages of the Internet there too.

We're still on Azure. We got a lot of help from Microsoft to work out the things we encountered. They have been very helpful and we plan to stay on Azure for now. Getting rid of the single NFS server is our next step.
People shouldn't just worry about "no insurance" but also underinsurance. Minimal insurance in many areas is ridiculously too low. If you're signing up to do this as a driver you better #1 Tell your auto insurance company and #2 Up your insurance levels to the max (something you should probably do anyways if you can afford it).

If you're signing up to do this as a rider, well I don't think you should given the insurance problems and you not having any guarantee that someone will be held liable if they cause an accident.

Getting into a bad accident with an underinsured driver at fault is a life changing event.
Which? You're one who bakes or one whose surname is "Baker"?
It's amazing if HN can recognize places outside of California, don't expect too much.
1) Yes, hopefully in 1.3. I believe all the components are there today, but I'm hoping we'll put together an official HA configuration.

2) It's in 1.2 :-) If you use PersistentVolumes, they will also be tagged with the zone of the volume on AWS & GCE, and there's a scheduler predicate which will enforce the AWS/GCE restrictions that volumes must be mounted in the same AZ: http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/multiple-zones/

3) I think you mean the full federation between multiple clusters ("Ubernetes")? Yes, work on that is ongoing - this multizone support is a simpler subset of functionality that we carved off.
Exactly. He's calling himself a poser with a claim like that. The use of protected portals with generic notifications is both allowed and widespread in use. Almost every provider I've run into does a variation of this. There's even turn-key solutions in this and other regulated markets. Incidentally, it was also the solution secure email providers came up with for when people don't have your encryption software but do have regular email & HTTPS-enabled browsers.

I'll go further to say it's probably one of the best models a company can use since vast majority of INFOSEC research and product development goes into exactly that sort of construction and tech. Even high assurance sector has solutions for some of that. Plus it has high usability and compatibility. Win across the board.
Thanks for the advice, do you maybe have a link with more details?
This could be a totally random of a dive at the piece written but do you think if the person is named "Baker", that they will have a more prominence to bake certain things over other things? I guess that would depend on their preferences as well
> It's strange how this sort of sentiment appears whenever you talk about genetics, yet I never see anyone praise the virtues of imperfection when it comes to taking prenatal vitamins or not eating too much fish during pregnancy.

This is a valid criticism, it's far easier to portray this issue as black/white, when in reality, it is unbelievably complex.

Nature of course, does not permit pure defects to exist for any substantial period of time. They are viciously eliminated from the gene pool. The ones that stick around are a double-edged sword. A lot of benefit here, some detriment there. And we separate them and decry the detriment ... but you can't have one without the other.

I am fearful of the day when we start eliminating these genes, that clearly have a detriment, but may also have a clear and more substantial benefit that is not readily apparent.

The computational power of natural selection over millions of years through trillions of permutations is unfathomable and does not rely on the necessity of human cognition. We are playing with fire when we start playing whack-a-mole with genes.

I'm all for trying, but we should tread carefully.
Might explain why there isn't one already. The benefit to Twitter is much more apparent. Helping them out might eat into Facebook's revenue. If Twitter can find some common ground with Facebook or if some 3rd party can, such a service would be possible.

Would be interested to discuss if such a situation is likely.

By "feel", I meant more what you might feel justified in doing about it. The key "moral rule" for me is to only mess with people who have messed with me. I don't get into third-party stuff, and I have little sympathy for those who do.
In many cases, a bunch of useless stuff.

One of our devs added a material design webfont NPM package (IIRC, https://github.com/google/material-design-icons). Something like 40kb worth of font files, but the folder was 100+ MB because it included a PNGs of each icon at every imaginable resolution.

I've seen others with 10+MB CSV files used by the unit tests.

Cool/funny idea. Why are there two videos on the YouTube channel, and where did its current content come from? It all looks like commercial video.
I second 1, 3, and 4. Good advice. The market could handle Number 2 like they did in smartcards and DO-178B sector. Apparently, whatever they're doing isn't appealing.
This confused me as well. Based on my skimming, the paper doesn't speculate on why this appears to be true, but it's very interesting that the researchers observed this phenomenon at all.
Lyft is attempting to get around the limits on commercial activity by only reimbursing up to the driver's costs (see the TOS section on Reimbursements). But the terms you describe would seem to preclude even this. Do you mind saying which insurance company has those terms?

As to the question of incentives, I have pay-by-the-mile car insurance (from MetroMile, in SF). They would make more money if I took a detour and drove a little further, or if this service caused me to drive to work more frequently.

Does NPM require you to only publish open source code? Can I publish a package that allows you to download it from NPM but requires you to get a license from me to run it? How about a limited open license that only allows straight white women to run the software?
If you publish sensitive information (even if you immediately remove it), that sensitive info is compromised. All the "unpublish" feature does is lull users who don't know any better into a false sense of security (I don't need to reset any passwords, I unpublished it).
What's the point of reading an install script if you don't also read the source of what the script is installing? That's like a proofreader only editing the intro paragraph and then signing off on the entire essay.

I think that velocity is the fascinating part. I remember being intrigued while reading "Influx" by Daniel Suarez (great tin foil hat thriller that is hitting scarily close to home these days) about the training of the various AIs that were used by the government.

I wonder what happens once we grow an AI whose purpose is to excel at training other AI's. Will we see an exponential leap forward in the speed with which they are trained?
The terms of service have a section reserving the right to impose a service fee. Not sure if there will be a fee at launch.

"Service Fee. In exchange for providing the Carpool Platform, Clara Rides may assess a service fee on each Carpool Ride (on either or both of the Carpool Rider or Carpool Driver). The amount of the applicable service fee shall be communicated to you in writing."
Wrt Perl being readable / legible; I think most find Perl hard to read because there are 3-4 different ways to do the same thing. And many of the more "advanced" ways of doing things rely on short, terse single characters that act essentially like magic and behave differently in different situations. At least this is what I remember as I climbed the Perl ladder.

Contrast this with say, Python, where readability is highly valued and they have a one-way-to-do-certain things mentality, like sorts for example, means code is generally easier to grok, debug, and extend.

Thus, readability becomes especially important when you have to deal with someone else's big ball o' mud and you need to fix a high stress, high visibility, lines down issue at one in the morning because the original programmer is long gone, didn't leave any comments in their code, and decided to play "look at me, I'm so clever with how I use this operator", but forgot to account for a certain scenario that manufacturing decided to roll out the other day without telling anyone. Can I get an amen?
> To be fair to Tony Fadell, as I understand it, he made the comments to his team and not the public, so he was probably speaking more from the hip than he would have if he was talking to a reporter.

Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught. - J. C. Watts

I'm starting to the think their needs to be a tech CEO version of these quotes. I think he needs to be fair to other people before someone is fair to him. Putting a positive spin on something by disparaging others is a sign of low character and poor leadership.
Which episode was that?

The Prime Directive was a great idea; I really wonder what exactly spurred Roddenberry to come up with that. But TOS was chock full of episodes where Kirk brushed aside the Directive and intervened anyway, frequently by blowing up some big computer.
"Never memorize something that you can look up."

Intelligence is dynamic and amorphous and is not something that can be measured on a single linear scale. My biggest objection to the current paper-and-and-pencil-and-no-technology test taking model is the inherent Luddism which stresses an obsolete method of learning.
> As much as it pains social justice warriors today, in English, the words 'he', 'his', and 'him' have a gender neutral usage.

'He' is sometimes used in this fashion, but it is an uncommon use, and it's arguable that in some contexts the author actually means a man and has not considered the possibility of a woman. Certainly in this case, why would you assume that it is used in a gender-neutral sense?

> And in any case, saying that a computer science security researcher is male is way less than a bit of entropy.

Fair point.
