With respect to actual determinations of acceptability of licenses based on official criteria by FSF and OSI, there are some licenses that are FSF-free that have not been OSI-approved (though possibly in all such cases no meaning should be attached to the failure to approve since it simply reflects that the license was not submitted for approval), and, as I think someone pointed out, some OSI-approved licenses that have specifically been said by the FSF to be nonfree. It seems unlikely to me that the current OSI (disclosure: I'm currently a board member) would be inclined to reach a conclusion that is in conflict with a conclusion reached by the FSF as to license acceptability.

Just want to be the counterpoint here. I've been building stuff at my last 2 jobs in Backbone (plus good OOP) for the last 5 years, and am only now considering a move to React or Vue, Vue being the conservative choice I may well go with. Not everyone jumps on the new frameworks just because.

The JS community is massive and very good at publicising their tools, so there are lots of (very visible) options, and it can give the impression that everyone is constantly switching tools, but that doesn't mean you actually have to.
They seem to be very popular with both pilots and ground crews so I say if the people risking their lives are comfortable with it then more power to them. I'm not going to arm-chair-general that away and neither should the law makers.

The Key West Agreement isn't like the Constitution. Honestly, if CAS is important to the Army and Congress thinks the Army knows better than the Air Force how to handle CAS, then the Congress could (and if actually considered about effectiveness, should) transfer the mission, equipment, and personnel to the Army.

Open source as formally defined by the OSI is also not necessarily free of charge and readily available to everyone. The GPL of course is an open source license, some revisionist tendencies to use "open source" to refer only to non-GPL-family licenses notwithstanding.
The funny part is Microsoft under Satya has made a large push to distance themselves from the Ballmer-led Microsoft.

A push for (at least some form of) open-source, a Windows offering that has been more stable and feature-added at launch than several past versions.

I'd gamble on more innovation out of Microsoft than Apple in the next 10 years.
Let's say you are 30 and you earn quarter of a million a year. I think that's pretty good. You will likely end your career, if you do well, on half a million a year.

If you were given $55 million and left tomorrow, then never worked again, by the time you hit 60 you won't have spent even half of it.

Frankly, $55 million is an obscene amount of money.

DDG staff here. The non-cheat sheet Instant Answers we have all either use data from a third-party API or show a snippet of an external page's content. In all cases we link to the source.

For cheat sheets, we either write the information from scratch (as in the tennis cheat sheet) or rely on existing key->value data such as keyboard shortcuts or command parameters. Again, we link to the source in both cases although our cheat sheets often end up featuring improvements or fixes, added by either the author or the community at a later date. They become living, open source resources and are also exposed in our API: https://duckduckgo.com/api

I'm not convinced by "complex hierarchies and taxation schemes". It sounds just as plausible that grain was one of the first really tradeable forms of food, so people became able to trade non-food-related skills for food, with people from further away. Your ability to do this is badly limited if you're using wet foods like potatoes, because you are only able to trade with people fairly nearby before the potatoes start sprouting; but with grain you can send your son off to the market three hours' wagon-ride away with a month's worth of crop, for instance.
Couldn't they have just used a bit in the header to indicate this, instead of requiring an entire section description (despite it being empty)? I believe there are some unused bits in ELF headers.

I do RE so I've inspected many binaries, and my impression is that the amount of "GNU promotion", for lack of a better word, in ELFs seems much higher than what Windows' toolchains will do for PEs. "GNU-stack" is entirely non-descriptive; something like "NXstack" would make more sense to me. There are also lots of sections (even in a linked, executable binary), lots of text auxillary information that isn't used (but can offer thumbprinting/forensic opportunities --- or risks, depending on your perspective), and overall why!? design decisions like this one. Maybe it's just my bias because I started with PE, but I'm of the opinion that it's more straightforward than ELF --- especially some features like dynamic linking.
What is in there for Apple to gain from switching macOS to ARM? Apple save about $100 BOM on most of its MacBook in exchange for incompatible PC ecosystem? Mac Pro and iMac?

Tim Cook has already said iPad is the future of PC. We may as well move to the iPad ecosystem. For content creation let it stay on the x86 and macOS, and if Apple wanted to do some cost saving they now finally have an option, AMD. I bet Zen CPU will be more then enough for Apple needs.

In reality, the US rich pay a higher proportion of taxes relative to income earned than any other OECD country.

http://taxfoundation.org/blog/no-country-leans-upper-income-...

It's true that poorer folks in the US are unproductive and contribute very little to society via market mechanisms (most don't even work). They are in fact a net drain after accounting for taxes and transfers.

I fail to see how the rich continuing to be productive and paying far more than their fair share is "chutzpah".

This is a good article but be aware, LCAs and new H-1B visas are not the same. For example when a company is renewing the visa of his employee a new LCAs is submitted.

Same goes when the employee his working for a different worksite or for a different company. Here are the 6 cases when a LCA needs to submitted:

a. New employment
b. Continuation of previously approved employment
c. Change in previously approved employment
d. New concurrent employment
e. Change in employer without change with the same employer
f. Amended petition

I made a website to browse through all LCAs and Perms(Green Card) submitted since 2001 and 2000 for those interested in the subject: http://www.jobsintech.io/immigration_companies

Having worked in requisitions, that's exactly how it works. Design new radar? "Here you go, have fifty parts!" Trying to get a power supply for a radar that's been around for sixty years?

Claiming a header bit for this would require agreement from everyone creating/using ELF binaries. A magic section name is much less likely to run into conflicts.

PE has the advantage of one vendor controlling the spec and the implementation used by the majority of binaries out there.

Benefits through competition? Intel is only one company, it's competing with a whole ecosystem of companies, who can all iterate and find efficiencies on chip design, and on manufacturing. And those improvements which are specific to the processor type will inevitably get passed around over time.
M16 has been replaced by the M4.

Some designs are so good they continue to be used actively eg the 1911 or M2. Variants of the original AK-47 are still used, even in Russia(!) where it is considered a superior weapon in urban warfare because it can penetrate cover better than more modern, smaller bullets.

I think the A-10's future potential is unclear. It is theoretically extremely vulnerable to modern anti-air missiles, but the same thing could be said about the Hind helicopter, which was deployed successfully by the RUAF in Syria.

You don't pay more. There is an important fact that rarely gets mentioned in the taxation debate (by either side): the U.S. tax system is much more progressive than in similar developed countries: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/04/05/ameri.... The top 10% in the U.S. carry much more of the tax burden relative to their share of the income (33.5% of income, but 45% of taxes). In Germany, for example, the top 10% earn 29% of income and pay 31% of taxes.

Middle class people in the United States pay very low taxes. I met a young woman from Germany, who has a typical entry-level desk job at a logistics company. Her tax bill was about 40%, which is level only high-income people here in the U.S. would pay. A typical middle class family eligible for the various deductions pays about 25% in state and federal taxes.

My two cents: A welfare state requires buy in from the population. You can't have a successful one just taxing the rich heavily to pay for middle class benefits like college and expensive old-age care. You need to flatten the tax curve and raise taxes on everyone to pay for services you expect everyone to use. People need to feel like they are getting something from the system, not just being forced to fund it.

Apologies if I came off as being hyper critical, that wasn't my intent. Actually, I'm pretty impressed with what you are doing - I just setup a codio account and submitted a pull request to update the git cheat sheet, just to see how you are doing things. Pretty cool :-)

My only point is that all search engines tend to cannibalise the ones they index to a certain degree when they aggregate or present results from their own website. It doesn't make it wrong to do so, or even unethical. I just think it would be nice if some sort of mechanism could be worked out to encourage people to visit and contribute more to the sites that generate the data being used.

DDG makes it quite plain where the data is coming from, and is very open and transparent with what you guys are doing, so please just take what I wrote as a comment and maybe a request, but certainly not a criticism.

Edit: I just reread my comment and I expressed myself rather poorly I think. The sentence "DDG need to learn how to play nicely..." was not at all what I was trying to convey. DDG do play nicely with others, far more so than anyone else. I apologise for that phrasing, that was unintentionally rude.

Anyway, for (b) security it claims to be secure by providing a way for the bank A to reveal the identity P of the double-spender mathematically from the duplicate spent coins.

I agree that these ideas solve different issues.

Bitcoin is set up for making payments to individuals far away and anonymously (or pseudo anonymously). This makes it possible to say, order a pizza with Bitcoin. By the time the pizza is done being made it's possible for the merchant to verify the transaction. Completing a transaction on the sneakernet would be akin to carbon-copying a credit card when the network is down.

These other digital currency ideas are different and seem easier to implement for making a purchase at 7 Eleven and leaving within 10 seconds or making purchases without a network and knowing that the value is there.

Yes, it requires banks, like checkbooks require banks, but a digital currency can offer some benefits that paper checks don't, and it shows that Bitcoin has limitations. The drawback would be negotiating an agreement with a financial institution.

In terms of the article, Bitcoin makes it very easy to lose money, especially if someone loses their private key.

The problem is that the CAS mission the A-10 performs is effectively impossible against any modern enemy with modern missile systems and manpads. The A-10 is for shooting up poor brown people we're messing with for no particular reason, not for fighting a real war.

The solution here is to get rid of the A-10 and simply not do "nation building" and counter-insurgency in poor countries. We don't need the A-10 because it's useless for any war worth fighting in today's world.

Over all ECS is great. It took hard work to get here but I am easily managing hundreds of production clusters. I am seeing excellent reliability with extremely low cost of ownership.

It's an interesting theory, but as with all of these kind of theories, mostly conjecture.

Crops are a cornerstone of human society, so it stands to reason that different crop types would after societies differently. I think this theory might be a factor in human development, but I think it would be a small one.
And why is most of Europe except Ireland and Spain left out of the maps ? That alone suggests they could be cherry-picking the data.
A) There are people that love frameworks.
B) There are the ones that don't.

The type A ones just gave up to the complexity and bury it with foreign frameworks.

The latter ones invent their own ecosystem. And are very productive with it. It's fast and beautiful. And you know every screw and bolt. There is a feature request? No problem, you know immediately how to solve it. I know many of them. And nearly all of them are the best I have ever known.

But here is the big "but". Would programmer type B want to work with a 2 year old project from another type B programmer? And there you have your answer why there is such a hugh appretiation for frameworks. Its easier to throw 10 programmers of type A onto the same project.
> The web-boys however, didn't understand asynchronous messaging, cryptography and eventual consistency very well

Would it be fair to say you didn't understand the web frameworks very well?

I'm not sure that lines of code is a great measure here. What about test coverage? Maintainability? NPM is a package manager - anyone would advocate using that over manual dependency management, no matter what environment you're programming in.

It sounds like you had an expansion of the web team. It only makes sense that you'd standardise things when that happens. It just happens they weren't standards you are familiar with.

There's a perception among "server boys" (or are you "server men" looking over the "web boys"?) that the web doesn't deserve 15,000 lines of code. It's a lot more complex than you give it credit for - or would you be happy to write all your backend code in C and C only?

To me, this looks like their own implementation of the Azure Logic Apps product. (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app...).

I don't believe this is intended to be a consumer level product at all. In that sense, it's not an IFTTT competitor. Given it's got implementation points to Sql Azure, Azure Blob storage, swagger, etc. this is likely meant as a product for devs to use to hook-up integrations.

> But the tax breaks have so far cost the city nearly $40 million.

This assumes a world where Twitter (or a Twitter like) company would have moved into what was an effectively abandoned building. They didn't displace $40M of tax revenue that would have been there and it's unlikely that they would have moved there. Now that neighborhood has a market, a coffee shop, several restaurants and a bar (all paying taxes that likely wouldn't have existed).

It seems like the city got more than they were hoping for. The neighborhood is improved, safer and no one was displaced. Square and Uber are next door and aren't getting any tax breaks (they moved into the old bank of america building which wasn't eligible for any of the tax breaks). The taxes from those two new companies along with the restaurants, shops, etc don't seem to be reflected in the (what seems to be) completely made up $40 M number.
