If it was so simple as service -> $$$, they should be paying up the referees, which is the only task that requires rarely found scientific skills.

I seriously can't see how editing, typesetting and hosting can host that much, or can make them a respectable journal. No-name journals (for which top scientists don't referee) have that too.

BTW, Americal Physical Society journals don't even do that and outsource typesetting and editing.

How did you find your commodity enclosures? It seems like there are a lot of random manufacturers out there making ugly enclosures.
Calling names ("fanboy"), doubting what someone has or hasn't done, telling them what they don't understand, drawing personal conclusions from reading extraneous things they've written and importing that into an argument as ammunition.

None of those things is necessarily a personal attack by itself but they're personal, uncivil, and especially bad in combination.
OpenJDK was available under GPL. Android took copyrighted parts of that software (the API) and released it under Apache, violating the GPL.
Thank you - this paper is the clearest introduction to what the DAO is and what it is trying to achieve that I have read. I found the official website for the DAO confusing and information light.

Is it okay for a founder of a startup to not become a CEO and hire someone else?
The majority of Google's code is in one gigantic repository. Sometimes there are some other repositories for very sensitive code, for example if you have a hardware vendor's closed-source driver code and they don't want many people to look at it. A few projects are in different repositories for their own reasons, like major open source projects. I don't think there's a single clear criteria you could come up with for what doesn't go in the main repository.

There are dependency management tools that help enforce public/private code on a wider scale and that help the build tools make sense of it all. There are also ownership tools that say what people and teams are qualified to review code in certain directories. The config files for all these tools are checked into the repository.

There's no versioning though. If you want to change an internal API you just update it and all the callers at once: patches in source control are already atomic. For truly massive changes (more code than most companies have) this gets too unwieldy and there are special tools and strategies people use.

This means you can't have a project depending on an out of date (internal) library. Without that requirement, you don't have the situation where different libraries need to be synced to different versions. And without needing to sync different things differently, you can get away with just one repository.

I worked at Amazon previously, which has world-class tools for dealing with versioned libraries in bulk, and Google's approach is vastly better. You spend less time worrying about breaking other people's dependencies, and you don't have someone spending a day fixing libraries every couple of weeks.

Majority of Europe you will see SWAT team on TV once a year when they do a huge bust of over 100 drug dealers or terrorist. It would be a public shame, heads with rolls and never ending phone-calls from constitutes asking and demanding answers why their money was spent on performing a raid on a hacker who broke into publicly open computer.

I will also bet (as long as we are somewhere legal to do so like LV) a $100 that you won't find an example in Europe when SWAT team killed a dog or threw a flash grenade into a crib with a baby in it... something that happens in US and that noone can be reasonably held accountable.
> taking the Facebook

It was at that point that I abandoned the platform. Wild conjecture isn't discouraged on Reddit and, over there, the creepy Facebook user tracking was predicted well in advance.

Given the comments here on Palmer's diminishing public interaction, and the quotes in the article, I don't think the founders completely anticipated what Facebook would demand. Although I now have zero interest in the platform, I still can't help but feel a little sorry for them. They clearly still believe in that vision but do not have the autonomy to follow it through.
Almost every logo had its scandal - London with Lisa giving Bart head, Beijing with its begging peasant, Sydney with the Chicken Head.

I remember the lead up to the Sydney Olympics and no-one seemed to want it - then it arrived and it was an amazing 2 weeks long party and everyone loved it.

Beijing on the other hand was the converse - everyone was expecting it and looking forward to it and then it came and the city went in to virtual lockdown.

You never know which way it's going to go.

I have bought all of mine at physical auctions. Once you go to a few you learn who the dealers are and bid just above them - they can only go to wholesale prices while you can go to retail. Just make sure they are not the one selling the rug in the first place - come in on the last possible moment tends to make it hard for them to shill bid you up.

I'm just frustrated that there is no consistency. Even Apple does this: Messages.app is swipe left to delete, and Mail.app is swipe right. But you can't just swap in Messages, you have to swipe and press a button; which is not the same in the Mail.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Considered Harmful
Both of these are reasonable, as long as the payment is actually covering costs - but in this case the first payment covers some of the costs, and the second payment increases the cost. That is, as a taxpayer I'm paying 1) for the research and also 2) for the extortionate access fees for universities, and as an independent researcher I'm ALSO paying 3) for my own private access to the results. The problem is that the funds from 2 and 3 do not fund the research, they fund the parasites that make 1 more expensive. I have no problem with a two-part payment for things where private benefit and public interest have the relation you describe, but when the secondary payment is a) entirely unnecessary, because the entirety of the work done is funded by the first, and b) feeds disgusting evil parasites that do nothing but harm to society, it's clearly immoral.

Discoverability is a whole other thing with Apple — if it is not immediately obvious, you have almost 0% changes to discover it on your own.

For example, you can show iMessage timestamps by "pulling" them from right edge of the screen to the left.
I guess the people who do agree with you don't feel the need to argue. And those are probably the more stoic types. :-) But for what it's worth, I agree with you, bub. Being able to respond with some emotional distance does not mean emotions aren't experienced, nor does it imply that you suppress them. And people who are more reserved and/or feel less comfortable with other people's "emotional livelyhood" do tend to respond not more attracted to that, but just less turned away.

In my opinion guys in general are way too emotional in how they behave, saying stuff like 'super awesome', 'this times 1000' and so on. It makes me feel really uncomfortable. But that does not imply that i'm stone cold. I'm far from it. When I was recovering from a surgical procedure, boy was i emotional. For months. But that was privately. I just avoided public spaces, I'm much too reserved and in that sense you are right MbcroBerto: I felt really unpredictable, even to myself, let alone to others.
Sometimes people are forced to buy insurance. In the UK it is mandatory to have car insurance (else the police will literally take away and crush your car). My mortgage demands that I take out home insurance. And of course the state provides a kind of health and unemployment insurance which is mandatory for UK taxpayers.

You aren't forced to have savings.
Perforce also runs into problems for sufficiently large repos, so it would have been a very temporary solution at best.

"you will get unsigned cert warnings"

No you wont. Bluecoat now has a CA Cert root key signed by Symantec. If they issue a .google.com or .gmail.com ssl cert you will _not_ get an unsigned cert warning.

And explain to me how to connect to, say, my internet banking without using "a private network"? Every single hop between my house(or my phone) and my bank is a piece of network owned by some company or other. "Use your own network" is meaningless in the context of connecting to any hardware you don't own yourself.
The video you linked has competing companies all taking about how good it will be to integrate (valve included)... you are right there is no line like "it will be an open platform" but they heavily imply it will be an open platform
Holy wow, I am genuinely surprised. I would never have imagined that it's possible for grown-up people to cry more than one or two times per year, let alone cry enough times to gather stats about it!
The folks who created it (slock.it) are planning to be the first proposal voted on. Now you might understand why the incentives are so incredibly slanted towards yes votes (and even more so on the first vote, given the extraPremium or whatever the pyramid aspect of the initial price is called).
Arxiv banned the physicist who actually was able to build a physical model that makes sense in every aspect. Just because the reviewer did not understand one of the conclusions, the periodic table, that was a result of the theory. Of course you don't understand a result if you don't understand the theory which requires months/years to really grasp. The principle they are using only works if you stay in your paradigm, but if your paradigm is broken, you loose any real progress.

If it doesn't include rental/mortgage payments, or the price of energy, it's not really measuring inflation. It's absurd that inflation in the UK is supposedly <0.5% when rents are going up so much each year.
thanks :-) you're right in that the only world it'll likely take over is my own, but I'm quite fine with that - the only device I rely on that it's not the UI for now is my smartphone, but the only thing missing for that is KMS/GBM support.

Amusingly enough, the reason we've been stuck with X.org/Xfree86 all these years is the hard coupling between the graphics drivers and the server implementation - and while different, of course, it is very much like that in Android land too, lower level GPU interfaces act as a very good control and lockin mechanism.
That's an odd thing to say. It's at the heart of many legal systems. You hit a child with your car. Did they walk out in front of you and you didn't see them or did you have 2 seconds to brake/swerve but didn't want to?
One would hope that 35+ percent overhead would cover rent/heating etc.

I don't know, but prior probabilities suggest not. Notice, however, that it is not just M2F transsexuals who have "female" hormones in their bodies. Almost everyone has them, and some people (such as females) tend to have more of them than others.
It's unfortunate that the API was judged to be copyrightable. However if Google's use of the API in a commercial product is considered to be fair use, then presumably any use of the API would be fair use, and in practice the API is therefore public domain. I suppose I'm confused by the whole thing.
I've gotten the impression in the past that ISLISP was largely based on pre-existing work by Queinnec, but I don't have any proof.
What about works that are inspired or influenced by other works? Nearly all works are. In some homeopathic sense they might be derivative. I assume there's a grey area between that and clearly derivative works.
Ah, but the perfectionist engineer is rarely satisfied with production code quality. Hence we have another important part of a software company--the managers, who optimize for things like getting features out more quickly, things that are effective at doing what companies seek: make money.
When you manufacture at the scale Apple does, you can justify more expensive tooling as the cost gets distributed over many more parts. It isn't that you can't do the high quality at low quantity, just that the fixed costs make it infeasible.

It should not be seen as Peter Thiel, director of Public Company X and founder of Y, but as Peter Thiel, private individual.

I really can't understand the way Americans want to punish companies for the actions of the individuals working for them, or the way Americans absolutely have to associate an individual's actions to that individual's participation or employment in a company - this goes against employment laws in any country other than America.

The devil is in the details: one possible outcome is that researchers must pay journals for open access publication, and this could change "'small science' fields" into 'big science' ones. I.e., a good but not grant funded researcher will need to find a 'rich' colleague to pay for the publication fee. Whether the 'rich' person should be a coauthor is then of course a matter of negotiation.

You take a high performing team and rank its members. You take a low performing team and rank its members. When the numbers go to the next level up, the worst person in the good team and the worst person in the bad team look the same to the system - even if the worst person in the good team is better than the best person in the bad team! This is how the system works in practice. Good people get shafted because they sought to work with other good people.
For me as a developer, the OS stopped to matter when I moved away from C and C++ back into languages with richer runtimes and libraries.

I also started to see POSIX as the extended C runtime that didn't make it into the ANSI C standard.

My GF used to be singled out on every flight to Israel, so I did some checking; the last attempted attack on an Israeli airline was a when a Syrian agent got a British woman pregnant and convinced her to fly to Israel not knowing that she had a bomb in her suitcase, in the majority of previous attacks European women often disguised as pregnant were used to smuggle the weapons past security (allot of Arab terrorist organizations of the from the 60's till the 80's were socialist and were aligned with the various left wing terrorist organizations in Europe).

About 5 years ago when I was living in Israel I've had an encounter with airport security myself I flew out to Amsterdam for a project, the project was canceled but as the flight was at 4am and the news arrived over the weekend I wasn't notified until I've actually landed.

So I didn't even leave the airport I just went to the KLM counter and booked a flight that left 3 hours later. When I landed 3 security agents were waiting for me at the door of the aircraft they had my details and they pulled me aside and questioned me about why did i book the flight last moment and why did i book the flight one way and some other details and it took me about 15 min to clear everything up.

To me this shows that they get notifications of last minute changes to the passenger lists as well as flag anyone who buys a one way ticket, both combined with potentially the fact that I flew out less than 12 hours before I got back probably raised enough red flags to come and question me immediately.

On that flight my carry on was searched after I landed and I was notified that my checked in baggage was not put on the flight and will be delivered to me later that day or the day after.

My personal theory is that they've suspected that I went to another airport that might have been compromised to get something that could be used in an attack at Ben Gurion.

The airline security is definitely top notch but the entire intelligence apparatus behind it won't be sustainable on any larger scale.
The TSA can't afford hire 200,000 agents, the TSA can't afford to hire agents from elite military units and US intelligence and the TSA can't afford to have a college degree as a requirement for all but the most entry level jobs which them selves would require a hefty LEO/Military service background, and I don't think that running a background check on virtually every passenger in the US would be doable on both practical and legal grounds.
Microkernels have actually won in the embedded and real time space.
Code IS data, that's a fundamental fact of reality, and not something mere chip architecture can invalidate. Separating "code memory from "data memory" only means you can't have bits from "data memory" flowing directly into the chip to be run. It doesn't prevent you from having some code in "code memory" that would translate the data into code, by e.g. means of flow control.

Not really, you have to change the return type of all of your functions and introduce new error types.

There's no same way to continue in cases where an out of bounds access is a program bug. What should a program do when it knows it is in an inconsistent state? Crash, in many cases.
I ranted a bit on this as well on Hackaday http://wp.me/pk3lN-PBv . Apple and Foxconn just have an unimaginable amount of capital. However, I don't think hardware designers should despair. There are many ways to design things, and constraint is the mother of innovation. As the author mentions, it's entirely possible to make products just as appealing with a fraction of the cost.

While that is true, it is also true that it would have made sense for them to pay for Perforce upfront. I would say that hindsight is 20/20 but I'll wager there was an engineer there who did say this at the time...
