At first I also thought that stalking would be summarising several sources to find his physical location or something. So like you I was also initially a bit disappointed by the non-mallace in his approach.

But given his goal of "becoming a friend" by automatic following Mark, I ended up concluding that stalking wasn't hyperbole.
It's easy to get mad about stuff you don't understand, read or research correctly.

It even states that "In the event you are a developer who submits User Content to Oculus, you acknowledge and agree that our agreements with you as a developer may supersede this section of the Terms."

In any case, this section of the ToS is not even about Software, but about User Content. There's a "Developer Distribution Agreement" for that: https://share.oculus.com/developer-distribution-agreement

Quote: "You grant to Oculus a nonexclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license to: copy, perform, display, and use the Products for administrative and demonstration purposes in connection with the operation and marketing of the Store and to use the Products to make improvements to the Store, Rift, and any other Oculus products and services."

Valves Steam Distribution Agreement looks similar (if http://stuff.danbo.vg/sda.html is to be believed): "Company hereby grants to Valve a non-exclusive license to reproduce, publicly display and perform, transmit, sell, license and otherwise distribute the Applications in object code form via Steam and through any type of payment method to Steam Account Owners in the Territory."

Not trying to defend any companies here. Those terms might as well be shitty. I don't know, I'm not a jurist or anything. But at least get the facts right.
I don't know what parent is saying, but my choice of software shouldn't be the concern of content distributors. It's their job to make content available after all. If they don't want my business, I'll take it elsewhere
>Google can't hire a decent software engineer for, say, $30000/year, because other companies will immediately offer more, and supply of talented software engineers is quite limited, even globally.

Did you somehow miss the massive wage fixing lawsuit google just recently lost? Your hypothetical wouldn't happen because google has deals with its competitors to artificially deflate wages.

I think you mightve picked the absolute worst example to defend your point

I'm kind of sick of these programs that require you to have 4 years of paying your dues to be able to even take them. It's like the apprenticeship system. Except less valuable.

"CTO" in and of itself means absolutely nothing. I've seen places where CTO was just a fancy title they gave the de-facto sysadmin and I've seen places where the CTO was more involved in running the place and making decisions than the CEO. In both places the compensation received was entirely in line was responsibility and completely unrelated to their title.
He says a lot of dumb shit. That's forgivable, he's in a stressful situation.
"it's nearly universally true that the folks who complain the loudest about interruptions are the same ones who are johnny-on-the-spot for coffee-break, games, etc."

I'm assuming here , but that sounds like people who appreciate a lot of structure in their working day. I can imagine them to respond very negatively to something as fluid as reviewing when they make the time.

My experience is, that it's the type of personality of solid programmers with very, very high attention to low level detail. High level stuff on the other hand, like planning or architecture is not their forte. They need help from their team for that, maybe even let someone else make those decisions for them. I want those guys and gals on my team, though, as I'm more of a high level guy myself.

Has your company tried to accommodate that type of personality, or do you weed them out during interviews or probation? I'd hate to see you guys miss out on that talent. I'd try setting a rule, like: first thing after standup and lunch is code review. This allows for structure and responsive code review.

I'm interested in what you think about this, as you seem to have a strong opinion on the matter, backed by experience.
I find it interesting and funny that this video about metadata turned into one giant metadiscussion of the video with almost no mention of the actual content.
This has not to due with manufacturing, but around government protecting the small shops against Walmart. What you may not know is that Walmart is operating in India but as a partner with the Tata group.

The same applies to insurance, lending and banking business. So the brands we have are Tata-Starbucs, Bharti-Axa, Birla-Sunlife, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by this?
That's the point they're trying to make.

The last time IPOs looked like this was in the starting (and also end) of 2008, just before (and after) the market crashed.

So, we've got a 7 year period of nearly steady growth in IPOs, and then a cliff over the past year.

A "chilly market" often leads to a crash, due to the vicious circle it creates.

I've an elderly Asus notebook nowadays as my PC, with 10.2 on it that I installed rather recently. It's battery is long-dead (I use it as a workstation mostly), so I can't comment on that, but suspend/hibernate does not work for me. FreeBSD does not have hibernate, and suspend, AFAIK, does not work with Xorg, so it's practically useless. There are some posts that demo how to do it, by unloading troublesome stuff before suspend and reloading them later, but I didn't get around to trying that yet, because suspend does not resume, and hard reboots give me the shakes without a backup, I couldn't port my backup script to't yet.

Performance-wise, I did not notice much between Arch linux, what I was using before, and this. My setup is very light, Emacs+Xombrero on TWM. I notice, though, a certain performance problem with video in browser, but that may well be Gstreamer plugins that run slower than Linux on *BSD, I can't comment, as I don't know the internals. But VLC works just fine.
As an aside, is there any practical delineation between "augmented reality" and "mixed reality" that requires the separate terms, outside of a marketing drive to differentiate products?
And in turn, I have to apologize to you as well because I can see how my comment could be viewed as arguing against you. I didn't think you were defending Apricity at all, I was kinda trying to re-inforce your point by pointing out how he missed to point out important information about his project. Thank you very much for giving advice to novice developers, I very much appreciate it!

You seem to think content creators sit in some evil dungeon, plotting out ways to screw their readers with ads.

That's not really it at all. There are a limited number of ad networks out there and publishers attach themselves to one or more of them. At that point, the publisher is largely clear of the process, unless they're negotiating custom deals of some sort, which happens with larger sites but is far less common than small sites.

The people doing the tracking aren't the content sites -- it's the ad networks. As a publisher, I'm not privy to your personal details.
By saying single code path, I don't mean single instruction stream. libsimdpp, for example, supports building same code for different instruction sets, linking into the same executable and then dispatching dynamically. Doing this by hand would mean that either:

- lots of time is wasted creating slightly different versions of code. I'm talking about e.g. AVX vs. AVX2 for floating-point code not SSE2 vs. AVX.

- micro-optimization opportunities are wasted by only coding for major revisions of the instruction set

Even when optimal performance may only be achieved via completely different approaches, the SIMD wrappers are easier to use, because they present consistent interface. Any specialized instructions may be used by simply falling back to native intrinsics.

Thus I don't see much benefit of writing SIMD code without a wrapper. The only advantage is that it's harder to shoot oneself into the foot with naive use of these wrappers, e.g. if one doesn't actually look into the generated assembly code.
You're comparing a Mazda 3, which is an economy car, against an entry-level luxury sedan. This is a bad comparison.

Mazda doesn't even have a car in this segment. You should be comparing it against a BMW 3-series, Audi A4, Acura TL, Mercedes C-series, Lexus GS.

All of those vehicles start in the 30s, and you would be lucky to get out the door with reasonable options under $50K. You could probably get the BMW up to almost $100K when you start considering the M package and various sports options.

Is it fair to call it "greed" if these sites aren't making much money, even with all the aggressive ad units? You need to have an extremely popular site with uncommonly low overhead to be very profitable just off of banner ads.
Where did you find that this will be released in the future? There are public persons in this batch of data and it makes sense to know this information but there must also be a lot of private information and I don't think it would be right to have them released in the while. My guess is that this is the main reason why it's not publicly released.

Edit: Le Monde has an article on the subject (French) http://www.lemonde.fr/panama-papers/article/2016/04/04/pourq..., translated: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u...
See my other comment here about how I implemented randomized swarming in LimeWire in a way to still promote the health of the swarm, and suggestions for a smarter way than I implemented in LimeWire.

Even for someone who's interested only in leeching a single streamed movie, if the number of sources for some blocks is only one, it's still in their rational best interest to request those single-source blocks first. Also, if there are multiple blocks with only one source, and they assume there may be another user using the same algorithm, it's in their rational self-interest to download earlier blocks, but not always the next one, under the assumption that another leecher may be grabbing the same block at the same time.

So, you end up with the probability of selecting rarest-first vs. earliest-first as a smooth function of the number of sources for the rarest block, and when picking amongst rarest blocks, using something close to an exponential distribution. The best solution for the health of the network would be selecting uniformly from the rarest chunks, but that discourages people from participating in the swarm. Rational self-interest can lead to a solution that's still better for the collective than a pure earliest-first chunk request strategy. (And yes, in LimeWire, I did implement chunk selection as a Strategy design pattern.)
It is used in both situations, but it very clearly only means the former and the latter is incorrect. "Begs the question" is almost always used incorrectly; that doesn't mean its definition has changed.
I see that you have some very strong opinions :).

I will comment on the Holocaust analogy say that yes, it was technically legal in the German state since it was sanctioned by the State. That does not mean it was right. The German state was misusing its authority, being hijacked by a dictator and his deranged coterie of supporters.

There has to be some arbitrator of Justice, to settle disputes and create laws and we decided to create institutions to do just that. These institutions are not perfect, and sometimes they may be hijacked. Like Hitler and the German state, or Stalin and the Soviet Union. These institutions are by no means perfect or efficient but there is a need for their existence.

You're wrong. The market cap already had the cash priced into it, regardless of how it was used (as a dividend or re-invested). By your logic, a company whose profits remained flat and issued a dividend would become less valuable every year until it was worthless.
Yes, exactly correct. If an ad blocker is the only thing between you and a compromised machine then you are not safe.

I'd be curious if anyone has data, but I would guess "hacked wordpress site" is a far more common vector for spreading this sort of malware than malicious ads.
Do you have any evidence or data to demonstrate that the "median family" spends less than the average? The average family also isn't buying the Kia Rondo, but I'm not claiming that these beginner cars are skewing the values down, just as I see no data whatsoever to demonstrate any skewing up.

SUVs are everywhere. Light trucks are everywhere. Minivans are everywhere. Most of these are in the $35K+ range (the F150 -- the top selling US vehicle -- has an average selling price of $41,776). Even a decently equipped Honda Accord (along with light trucks, the most popular car in the US. Not the Civic, but the Accord) is pushing past $30K.

Often the median and the average skew. But minus actual data beyond just anecdotes, the average is the best we have.

Great post as it made me realize how ignorant I am at times. The idea that it must be really hard to understand data visualization, graphs and some chunks of mathematics if you're blind has been in the back of my head but I never really thought about the real life implications.
Thank you for the post and the linked "Autobiography of a Blind Programmer".

I also noticed the "15 minute read" under the date. Haven't really seen that much but it must be pretty valuable if you're blind since you can't estimate the reading time from glancing at the scrollbar etc.
[Even though I guess this could be automated as a feature in screen readers with a wordcount?]

This quote from the end of the article is a fantastic general attitude towards life:
"""There are a few things I love about being blind. One of them is the need to carve out your own path most of the time."""
The problem was the creation of the list and the subsequent negligent protection of the data not it being passed to HN after it's been published to the internet.

Not paying taxes is leaching. Tax dollars pay for the infrastructure that holds society together. If it wasn't for tax dollars, the society in which you derive your income wouldn't exist.

You are provided access under the condition that you put your fair share in when you profit from what is provided. We have a democratic process to determine who can and at what rate they should contribute back.

What right do you have to steal but not give back?
If you feel so strongly in regard to your opinions about tax, why haven't you left society to rely on your bootstraps alone?
No, I got your point.

But if we want to limit the dissemination of potentially harmful knowledge we'd have to stop teaching basic physics, chemistry and biology. The fact that we do not have daily TATP explosions or Anthrax attacks or that there is a strong movement for nuclear non-proliferation shows us that we are not too bad in handling the responsibility that comes with knowledge.

And not all about the early nuclear research was bad - without it, we'd not be where we are in space exploration or medicine.

Interestingly I've had far, far less issues in Arch over a year or so of using it, than I did trying to use Debian stable ~10 years ago.

It could be that I'm just more of a unix beast now and so do it automatically without thinking. I remember having to edit Xorg configuration files, having tons of unsupported hardware, etc.

Arch has basically just worked for me on all my machines with the exception of some esoteric features (e.g. zfs requires a bit of fiddling).

What problems have you had in particular?
I do, actually. I listen to commercials on the radio all the time. It's how they pay for the content I'm listening to and they are often targeted enough that I hear about a business/offer that is pertinent to me. I don't think it's "utter nonsense". I feel like I'm supporting the continued existence of something that I care enough about to listen to. If they can't monetize the service, how can it be expected to continue? Is there no cognitive dissonance for you when you consume something without paying for it? This is the entitlement I referred to in another comment. I don't have cable, so no TV ads.
Transform these %50 taxes (money you're giving away for free) into time. You're now working %50 of the time for free while you could spend more time with your family, kids, friends, learning things, etc. It's not a fiction, it's reality.

Third party should be in quotes. Visteon, Delphi, Denso et al aren't really what you'd think of when you think third party. They're more of a way to split up parts of the same business for tax/labor advantages.
Market cap = shares outstanding * share price.

Reducing shares increases the price (while keeping market cap the same). Share splits increases the shares outstanding and decreases the price. So... yes, shares outstanding does matter.
And who decides?
IMHO it's no longer legitimate to leak to "the press" if they are unwilling to properly disseminate the whole truth.
