I'm not clear on the licensing here. Are all files under the "illustrio license", and why does the summary that pops up seem to say something different than the detailed license text? I would be much more comfortable with a standard license being used - say, the Creative Commons licenses. At least let users filter their search by license terms, unless they're all under the same terms in which case that should be clearer.

I like the idea of being able to customize, but is that simply changing the colors? Or is it the ability to commission edits to the work? If it's just color changes I have trouble seeing the value; if it's substantial edits to the work then the pricing looks too low and the license terms are too restrictive.

Basically, what does this offer me that the Noun Project doesn't, except far more restrictive licensing terms?

I hadn't heard of that until you mentioned it. I'm familiar with many of the works listed at [1], but considering the reported theses for a moment "new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s actively thwarted the form of the LP" and

"listeners coming to know a period through the recorded artifacts of composers and musicians that largely disavowed recordings." [1] I think is interesting and ironic. But, my argument isn't about the mismatch of recording technology and artistic activity, but of mass reproduction and especially the optimization of recordings for profit.

Even without creative performances such as the Fluxus movements and sound artists of that era, pop music can flourish without massive lithography. The beautiful thing is it perpetuates itself through continuous reinterpretation by musicians and listeners, resulting in an accelerated, rich evolution. That's how we got dance steps like the Tango.

> The problem with copy pasted code is that you can forget to push fixes to both copies.

That's a problem with manually copy-pasted code. Copy-paste automation solves this particular problem, but it creates others, like a combinatorial explosion of definitions that are similar enough to tempt humans to conflate them, but different enough to make such conflation logically unsound.

> inheritence usually does much less copy pasting under the hood. Instead, it makes use of vtables to actually reuse the binary.

I'm not talking about the implementation. Indeed, as you observe, using vtable pointers is a common technique to eliminate or reduce the need to make physical copies.

But, at the abstraction level, inheritance is fundamentally a copy-paste mechanism between two definitions. When a definition Foo inherits from another definition Bar, the parts of Bar that Foo retains (doesn't override) are copied into Foo's definition. In addition, sometimes an implicit coercion from Bar into Foo is provided. However, you can't conclude that Foo is really a specialization of Bar. This isn't true if Foo overrides any inherited behavior from Bar. In other words, the Liskov substitution principle actually matters!

> but for templates, macros, compiler optimizations, inheritence,

Of course, from this point of view, macros and templates are just more powerful forms of copy-paste automation. Compiler optimizations are an implementation detail, not a language construct, and thus need a separate discussion.

> and all the other forms of abstraction that allow you to not repeat code.

Abstraction is actually about controlling the visibility of implementation details. It's a powerful organization tool, even if you don't actually intend to reuse any code.

On the other hand, code reuse can be achieved by various means, ranging from principled (parametric polymorphism, hygienic macros) to ad-hoc (templates, unhygienic macros), with inheritance falling somewhere in between.
While I can't say I know anything more about python and aws specifically, hate doesn't have to be logical.

Someone might hate python just because.
Would another market solution be to have the university underwrite the first 10% or 20% of the loan. In effect, they would be on the hook if the student tried to take on too much debt, etc. As it is, universities seem to have little motivation when the debt is carried by third parties to help their students after graduation.
It's a brilliant deal from business standpoint; from consumer's standpoint, not so much.

I think you forgot to put quotes around "Girl" on line 46. Edit: Actually I'm not sure what the problem is but I'm getting 0 girls and a divide-by-0 error.

Edit2: I don't remember why I was getting all girls, but the other issue was integer division. If boybrothers/boys truncates to 0, then (girlbrothers/girls)/(boybrothers/boys) will divide by 0.
My question is about what you said. The 2 proposals have very different incentives and will likely have different outcomes.

The parent of your post did not propose what you did, your idea has poor incentives for people seeking education and can be expected to have 0 influence on employers. Their idea has little impact on incentives for individuals seeking education and can be expected to encourage employers to consider the necessity of an educational requirement for a given job.

Do you really see them as equivalently arbitrary hurdles to employment?

I agree it's a bit confusing but I think they mean "pay TV" in the sense that Netflix costs money. So these movies won't be available on HBO or Showtime or any other cable networks.
Of course it isn't. Some of the stuff people wrote in VB6 was (and still is) enormously productive.
That's one thing I really like about the sonos app - you can put dozens of music services into it, and it gives them a unified interface.

Is there any app like that but standalone, where you don't need a special speaker for it?

Tell me more. What state, and what program? I'd love to have something like that for my kids...
While HTML was the first kind of code I ever wrote, I never felt like I was doing much more than I was when I typed up something in Microsoft Works. It wasn't until I used VB when I was 13 or 14 that it hit me that I could actually make computers do what I wanted.
Microsoft produced several migration tools from VB6 to VB.NET over the years. An "Upgrade Wizard" to do a first pass conversion. Some integration tools to run VB6 COM components in VB.NET applications and vice versa (VB.NET code as VB6 ActiveX components).

VB.NET was always meant to be the path forward, and VB.NET, at least, is open source now.
These guys are f*cking killing it. Way to go!

I would think "Pay TV" refers to monthly subscription TV, as opposed to free over the air TV, and a generic term for cable/satellite. Pay per movie is usually called pay per view.

I would have assumed the US pay TV Home of the latest films from Disney and its subsidiaries would be the Disney Channel?
Haha... :)

Why? What positive economic impact does this have? How can you justify 4+ years of lost positive contribution by these individuals to the economy? How is that economically efficient? What metrics are you basing your reasoning on?
In fairness, they told me to come back if the pain came back (it miraculously recided after a few hours while sitting on a chair in A&E). They thought IBS was most likely. They also gave me an antispasmatic to go home with which did nothing, which made me do the research and find the wrigglies lol. Mebendazole did the trick. I still check a bit closer after wiping to this day though!

Fun side note: the A&E was so over capacity and understaffed (Ireland) I had to awkwardly ask for the IV drip to be removed because it had finished and my blood was tracking back up the tube.... I was 17 and my parents weren't allowed in with me :(

That's one of my productivity secrets. Always read the top 4 answers before deciding on a course.

None of these things are evidence of bias.

The algorithm is biased if it's giving the wrong score due to race or redundantly encoded race. To show that the algorithm is biased, you need to show that (score, race) pairs are more predictive than (score, ) singletons.

Line [36] and [46] both attempt to address this question. The only one of these which is statistically significant is "race_factorOther:score_factorHigh" in line [46].

The other things you bring up are interesting, but do not show bias. At best they show disparate impact which isn't remotely the same thing.
Sounds very similar to wall-e.
Would be nice. Sadly node.js shares many of VB's warts, whilst having few of its nicer features.

I'm not the only one who looks at what the industry had in the 1990's and thinks we've gone backwards. All Microsoft had to do was build a non-crappy online update and installation system, and our whole industry could look very different. But MS failed, utterly, in fact they made it worse, and we've ended up with the web - a pale imitation of real software development, but hey, you can deploy it without being hamstrung by a dysfunctional IT department and stuff updates silently.
As a guy who joined the military in order to finance my undergraduate education via the GI Bill, I believe determination and grit were necessary for me to get where I am today. But I'm hardly arrogant enough believe that what was necessary for success is simultaneously sufficient for it.

Considering the rise in college costs, my GI Bill yesterday would cover exactly shit today.

And having empathy with people who aren't you helps a person not be an asshole, something I think you might benefit from considering.

That's what I expected. Yes, when you actually need on the order of 100k req/s, doing this over 100 vps or even 10 dedicated doesn't look that good over just 2-3 boxes in your own datacenter. That is, if you already have one. On the other hand even Netflix has moved on to Amazon, so there must be something to it.

Ahh, my alma mater! This is exciting for me because the last time WPI was discussed nationally it was due to the comments of graduate and former U.S. Representative Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin.
While people seem to mostly tinker with the name in the comments I'd like to say that this looks like a really interesting project!

Would you mind to give us a little more background with regards to how this has been initiated, what your motivation was to write something new?

Given that you have an interesting vita (https://www.linkedin.com/in/haifengli) and a lot of people are interested in the graph database space I'd assume that people what be interested in your take on: The graph landscape, why for example haven't you joined the effort of Neo4j, ArangoDB, Titan and the likes. Is Unicorn already older than these systems? Why have you decided to open source now? Why is this linking to a fork originating at ADP while you are obviously a member of ADP and what is ADP about? Questions over questions which IMHO should be answered so that people like myself, who are impressed by your work, get a better chance where this massive effort comes from to better estimate how long this is going to stay around.

However: Thanks for open sourcing, posting and giving us a chance to play around with this...
It has kept some of its niceties. It's one of the rare case insensitive languages (less pointless bugs as a result of typos), it is very expressive (I just don't get the love of certain programmers for special characters), and it provides a natural evolution for business people into programming, many of who even today have learned the basics of coding with VBA (like me...).

And there aren't that many breaking changes between VB6 and VB.net. Enough to make a VB6 program not compile. But not enough to really stand in a way of a VB6 programmer upgrading his skills over a couple of weeks.

Netflix is now behaving like a channel, rather than a library. Originally, they had a huge library from which you could choose. Now, they announce "Here are some of the great and varied selection of films coming to our U.S. service in the next few months". Some of those films are decades old. Gradually, their back catalog has shrunk.
They are as calorie rich as protein gram for gram, and less than half of fat. Have you any evidence for the other two claims?
It was meant to be representative of the choices that are made in land distribution, there is a lot of land in the UK that could be built on, building more housing will of course reduce the value of existing housing by increasing supply, protection of the value of houses is part of a conservative / capitalist remit, perhaps it's that factor that is more influential than just a resource issue ? It's going to be hard to persuade anyone to vote IN, it's hard to 'sell' the status quo when people are dissatisfied, it's much easier to sell 'change', fairly terrifying, I really would rather stay in.

Actually, if everyone has babies of sex A until you have a baby of sex B, you get a 50/50 mix.

- Half the parents will have an only child of sex B.
- One quarter will have one A, one B.
- One eighth will have A, A, B.
- One sixteenth A,A,A,B.

This converges on 50/50!

If you're not spending every minute of your life trying to get laid, how is that not as bad as standing by and letting innocents die? Every choice you make has an impact on the life of your (or someone else's) hypothetical future offspring. Is fighting poverty tantamount to genocide? Richer societies tend to have less children and healthier children on average - which means disproportionately less of the certain kind of people that suffer from various poverty-related diseases.

Doing moral calculations on people who have not yet been conceived is tricky, and you can't simply equate them with living and breathing ones.
Yeah, secretly I was surprised that it worked as well as it did!
What if it came out of a neural net or some other system that can't be easily explained? There's no real "specific calculation" to show.

Now if they were using decision trees, i.e. If the person has 3 or more felonies they get a 5 rating, that could be presented.

I'm curious about how much of a feedback loop this process has. The model was probably trained on old data and never updated. Also how does it take into account features that it doesn't know about (the article mentions one guy turning to Christianity)? I doubt if there is a mechanism for people to be asked why they did or did not reoffend. Even if they did how much should it be trusted?

Thanks for the feedback. The illustrio license applies to all graphics. What differences have you noticed between the pop up and the detailed text? We might need to clarify if anything is unclear right now.
Also, you may customize other things than colors by playing with the inputs in the left side-bar under each "product". Try to play with the slider under Percentages for example. You need to click on Percentages first.
To Microsoft, VB.NET is still Visual Basic. They didn't kill VB, they made a new version that was different. The VB.NET compiler version numbers even start from 7 as it was/is considered the successor.
> willing to work hard at things that aren't immediately obviously essential but you do them anyway.

I view this as actually one of the biggest problems with current pedagogies and curriculum structures. They don't teach the why of things[1] and so students either are unmotivated because it seems meaningless to them, or the ones who follow blindly on faith, who think less for themselves, end up looking like the smart ones. But then maybe that's what some employers are looking for.

As Musk puts it, they fail to teach to the problem instead of the tools.[2]

Generally, I'm a fan of what Altucher writes but on this point he's wrong. Everything he points out is right but my point is that it has always been the case that the game is rigged. Go back to the late 1800's and early 1900's and the market was even worse yet people continue to find a way to make money off stocks up until present day.

His 1st point is 100% right. You suck at it. No, you don't have some great gift at picking stocks. If you won't take the time to be a great investor by studying the relevant reports and literature then you'll suck. The wolfs in wall street will eat all your money. Your best bet is to stay away and find something else to do, if you don't take the time to learn.

Right. And there's a big problem with "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" itself: it focuses on fetchmail, which is a relatively obscure (compared to e.g. Linux) piece of software that became remarkably cathedral-like in its development after ESR took over, to the detriment of its users.

(By "detriment" I'm referring to both design errors and numerous memory safety flaws resulting in remote code execution [1].)

This is reminiscent of 'patented' in consumer literature.

In my mind, exclusive content is great for a business and bad for the consumer but for some reason people think its a good idea to market it to consumers. If you said Netflix has popular XYZ shows and they stopped being available elsewhere, it would avoid people realizing that Netflix is now playing the same games as the cable mafia did/does and instead people would just be happy that they could watch things fully on demand with all the conveniences of netflix.
This is the first game that I've actually released publicly. Enjoy!

No. Because I don't have problems with full hard drives. If I have full hard drives it's because of files that I really know about (like movies or backups).

Besides of this I would really want to know how the app should decide which are unnecessary files?

PS: I think there are more useful ideas for new software instead of a new version of CCleaner for Mac. Just search the App Store for useful apps that are horrible designed and try to make them better.
Well sure, but obtaining a patent is no small thing (if done seriously). So I'm curious why they feel it's so important to protect this.

Basically I'm wondering if it's just a purely defensive move, (maybe an investor asked them to file a patent or whatever), or whether they are aiming for a business model where people create things using a language that they control and can obtain fees for its use.

Of course they don't have any reason to share this info with us at this point.

"Please give examples of pseudoscience, but leave aside pseudoscience".

But fine, let's skip eugenics.

* Ahnenerbe - racial heritage of German people, and plenty of occultism
* Large parts of their human experimentation.
* "Social Darwinism". (Granted, runs into eugenics. But it's the foundational belief under the whole regime, so hard to avoid)
* Phrenology
* "Jewish physics" - discarding Einstein completely. Trying to get Heisenberg & Quantum Physics, as well, but turned out his science worked a little too well to discard.
* The idea that women can't get pregnant from rape[1]

In general, you'll find much of the "bad" science in the softer sciences - the more soft, the worse. The reason is that it's easier to maintain a fraud if the field doesn't expect clear reproducible answers.

The harder sciences were affected via Aryanization - e.g. Chemistry lost 25% of all its academics in the runup to 39.[2]

My friends who worked there (in their 20's and late 30's) both said it was great at first but boring as hell long term.
That seems like a pretty low-key announcement for what sounds like a blockbuster (no pun) deal?

If I were Disney, I'd create my own service. HBO claims such a thing is hard but I don't buy it. Charge $50-100 for some ever-changing sub-set of the library. Profit. Still provides plenty of room to cut deals with all the movie services and maintain some artificial scarcity.
It may depend heavily on the country. In Poland, which is arguably a western nation, we were taught about the "optimal childbearing age" in biology classes, and the women I know are acutely aware of the concept. Maybe what you're describing is a US thing?
I am guessing this only works with the "Apply via Indeed" jobs. Yesterday I was applying for jobs and extremely frustrated by how many corporations require you to create an account on their platform and jump through many hoops just to apply for a job. No thanks!
Cable is the worst. I shouldn't have to pay for channels I don't want. It should be à la carte.

Streaming services are the worst. I shouldn't have to subscribe to a half dozen different services. Someone should sell a bundle that gives me access to all of them for a lower price.
I completely agree. Exclusive deals are anticompetitive.

I can understand why they would market it. If you love Disney, now you know that you need to have a Netflix account to watch it, so Netflix is using it to attract customers.
Cancelled it the other day. Rubbish choice if you do t want to watch fairly boring series vaguely aimed at kids. Waste of money!
