Is there the concept of an 'administratively prohibited' error in the DNS? So your resolver could return an error with that code rather than an incorrect result.
Oracle V. Google Decided: Court Says Android Uses Java Fairly
Discussion around the issues outlined in the report have already begun (before the report was published) in the DAO forums. It's not unexpected that there will be problems. This has never been done before. But the fact that this report exists, the problems are being discussed, and there are already talks of proposals for resolving some of the issues is a good sign that the DAO is working as intended... The community discovers problems, the community fixes problems.

Compare this to a traditional investment fund where you hand over your money to a private organization with opaque investment strategies, business operations, and technology. If I invest in a Vanguard or Fidelity fund, they only report back what is required of them by regulators. They take little to no input from investors, and may be running their business on decades old technology filled with flaws and bugs.

I view the DAO as an open source investment fund in the same spirit as "The Cathedral and The Bazaar". It's not perfect, it's messy, some people are more influential than others, there's a lot of noise, and it could collapse on itself at any time. But everyone gets to participate (for better or worse). Lots of eyeballs are constantly watching, and plenty of concerns will be voiced.

I know the HN crowd is a skeptical one, but try to keep an open mind. This could grow into something great. And if it doesn't... hey, it's not your money, so don't sweat it.
Google, at least in the past, wrote their own drivers when they had to.
Most OEMs do not.
Incompatible for me as well, which makes no sense at all. I live in the Netherlands and use a Samsung Galaxy S5.

I don't see why you're doing regional blocking for a free app. Even for paid apps it doesn't make a lot of sense. Would've loved to try this out.
This looks similar to how Meteor's ReactiveVar package, and lower-level Tracker library, works: https://docs.meteor.com/api/reactive-var.html

It's certainly helped make building real-time user interfaces that update when the data changes significantly easier in my opinion, because you're able to express your intent in code more closely to what you mean rather than having to write all the connecting reactive boilerplate yourself.
I hate steam and I rarely use its features outside its store and the friends list. Yet steam remains my primary digital distributor exactly because they got there first.

Later it has basically become impossible to avoid steam, if you want access to every game at least. X-com for instance required steam. Steam is also where all my friends have their profiles.

Even if steam didn't have a monopoly on certain games they still own the access to your library and won't allow you to take it with you.

If you ask me valve is right up there with the worst of them as far as exploiting their monopoly goes.
I would be interested to know how much the creators of the DAO have studied the history of democracy.

Béton brut[0] is great for defensive structures or creating a sense of massiveness or permanence. It is quite literally 'brutal' due to the 'visual weight' of the l'object du art.

There are real technology innovations in the casting of concrete and concrete construction techniques (continuous casting, on-site rebar formation, etc) used in this style.

Where is the unseen innovation in these web sites? Where is the heaviness, permanence, and sense of longevity? I'd argue it's really just high-contrast minimalism, with an emphasis on laziness.

Does anyone know if you can do this in reactjs? It would be awesome to build a excel like spreadsheet with user-input formulas.
While I think what your saying is true, it's frowned upon. It's saying "I've discovered a truly marvelous proof and its at the bottom of this cave". We've dodged the infinity risk, but not the resources involved in communication risk.

So it's kind of just crap UI at this point. I think that given that proofs are essentially social objects, this is a pretty big negative on that style of proof even if it doesn't totally sink the ship.
Interestingly, papers by US government employees are already in the public domain. Journals have no problem publishing those. I think one direction this could go is that public universities could insist that their researchers put their work in the public domain.

Journals don't need copyright to function. There's still value in editing, peer review, and distribution. They're just being greedy by insisting on it.
Of Donald Knuth and Lobsters: Stress as a Creative Force

Though hosts files can be fed to uBlock Origin ("uBO"), it will enforce their content differently.

With uBO, a "facebook.com" entry in a hosts file will also cause all subdomains of "facebook.com" to also be blocked, so there is no need to list all subdomains as is done here if the goal is to block "facebook.com" with uBO.

If one wants to block Facebook via uBO, I personally advise to do it through dynamic filtering[1]. This way one can always point-and-click to create exceptions on a per-site basis.

One look at voat.co's frontpage was enough for me to simply add the domain to my blocker. Nothing but filth, looked like only the bad bits of reddit.
yeah, you can add the dir or files to the .gitignore directly however for these are generalized .gitignore's for each language. For example if you get the python .gitignore there are already some rules to ignore the cache/internal files for most of the packages.

How to Take Your Idea from a Hobby to a Business
It's nothing to do with Android - it has to do with the device you picked up.

I'm typing this on a Nexus 6p and I'm rocking beta of Android N. I think if you go with a Nexus (or a Xperia IMHO), you will always be using the latest and greatest version of Android.
Very cool, but the experience was ruined when I was testing a game I made and was interrupted by a lightbox saying "Seems like you have done a nice game! If you want to continue making awesome games and saving them, you should register! It only takes 10 seconds." I get the reasoning for this, but I'd suggest a lighter touch for prompting users to sign up -- namely one that doesn't interrupt their gameplay. The lightbox is a great way to turn people away from your product.
I can't speak for the individual creators, but the 'tyranny of the majority' has been discussed at length and is the basis for the 51% attack mitigation. DAO and Ethereum enthusiasts also seem to enjoy discussing 'delegative democracy' (or 'liquid democracy') at length.

That's because the people doing it think that decentralisation, privacy and censorship are primary features that will sell any old bullshit facebook clone site instead of being nice secondary or tertiary features underlying some new idiom that are transparent to users.

Even if you managed that and then managed somehow to get funding to grow and scale for a system with no obvious revenue opportunities history shows us you are still likely to fail.
It is easy to replace one design with another and people want to be unique in this aspect anyway.If someone would create a calendar app, and you would like to replace it with another, its perfectly fine if visually they would be slightly different. Copyright and design patents do not block ability to create functional equivalents, because people do not rely on design being exactly the same.
API's are different. If you provide an API, then all clients must use exactly the same "design"(function names, arguments, error codes, everything). If someone else would want to provide alternative implementation, they can not change anything, otherwise clients will stop working and need to be changed. So the concepts may be similar, but implications are entirely different.
Another grumbly hacker complaining about a bug bounty undervaluing their work.

It wasnt long ago that notifying a company that they had a vuln was an act that risked prosecution.

Bug bounties are a release valve. They are not a substitute for a job. They will never pay the same as crime. Writeups like this are not going to facilitate relationships with leaders in the security industry. This post and others like them are embarrassingly naive.

Of course Linux has had semaphores for a long time. (As has Windows.) I know my way around the Linux kernel pretty well and on the Windows side, I am ex-msft. So I am not learning anything from your scholarly summary here.

I mean that eventfd(2) is somewhat more recent and reminds me more of Win32 than the POSIX APIs for this. The API exposes an fd (read: HANDLE) which you can block on with the select/poll/epoll syscalls (read: WaitForMultipleObjects). The comparison could not be more direct. Whereas Unixy APIs and internal-to-linux APIs do not historically reason about synchronization primitives in terms of files.

(PS. Manpage for eventfd(2) says you can open it in a semaphore mode.)
Fixed. It should become available as soon as play store updates the page. Best regards.

My understanding [1] is that the software side of OSX graphics architecture presents a set of challenges that are deemed to impede the potential pace of development by the Occulus team. My recent experience with Linux graphics suggests a world of hurt there due to the many moving parts that can be swapped out: e.g. trying to run GIMP while using Xmonad.

It's just a USB serial device, so if BSD supports those (and I can't imagine that it doesn't) then it will work. But I don't run BSD so I haven't tried it.

Wouldn't it be backwards to do this in React? Everything is controlled by a state object you manually set, so you already know when values are going to change.

Father Day Gift Suggestion at Amazon
actually - I'm talking about a function expression. Think about a spreadsheet with a formula similar to "=SUM(A1+B1)". What this means is that when A1 or B1 change.. then this formula result should get re-computed. Remember that A1 and B1 themselves may be computed results...

what happens today is that I need to recompute ALL formulas - because there is no easy way to know which formulas changed.

It's an AMT, so for Scenario B: the AMT is 5,742,000 which is a minimum and not added to anything. AKA You pay that or other taxes if your other tax bill is higher.

You repatriate 8.6M which leads to tax of: 3,010,000. 3,010,000 < 5,742,000 you pay 5,742,000. Which is less than 6 million. (This assumes you have zero tax bill for US operations.)

Also, paying this does not decrease your future tax bill next year in any way. So if your interest rate is zero you pull money back this year. The idea is to penalize behaviors designed to reduce taxes.
Simple CPU
Is the plan to re-launch the booster during their normal launch schedule (i.e. carrying a client's satellite/material into space)? Or is the plan to simulate a launch and not add additional risk to the launch?

If it is the former, do they think they will be able to adequately calculate a risk percentage for the re-launch? I would assume that if a client is going to be the first test dummy for this process, that they will negotiate significant rate decreases based on the perceived additional risk and the cheaper cost associated with reusing the booster.
And the fact that Android is way more popular than iOs shows that most people simply don't know or care what version of Android they have because it makes almost no difference to how the apps they use work. If you care then you should have spent a few minutes research and bought a Nexus or a device from a manufacturer who is more prompt with updates.
and most people don't have a problem with it

I haven't found that to be true at all. Look at all the furor over the "one click" patent that Amazon got. I don't know anybody who thinks that patent should have been granted.

Anyway, I think your metaphor is too jumbled to be meaningful. A "user interface" is not the same thing as a "programming interface" (eg, an API) and I don't see any intrinsic reason that they should be treated the same.

Also, note that in the end, most of the Google/Oracle case came down to issues of copyright, not patents.

Further note that the issue of protecting UI/UX is hardly a settled issue. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_and_feel#Lawsuits_over

- Deduction system, in particular as relating to logic programming such as Datalog. This is more or less in link with my research interest in programming languages - I feel like these techniques could have a lot of implication in compilers.

- Front-end programming using javascript. I'm always intrigued by all the conversations surrounding React, Angular, etc... There is a background I lack to see why such convoluted solutions are need, what problems they fix.

- Fundamentals of machine learning, esp. neural network (I have some clues about things like Bayesian filters). It just seem like something that could be used in practice if one knows how to roll with it.

3 Ways to Bounce Back Financially After Draining Your Savings to Travel
Not sure what os your phone is running but most people actually want phone updates as soon as possible. The reason people don't like Microsoft's Windows 10 upgrade tactics is that they do things like treat clicking the x to close the window as "yes, I'd love to have Windows 10", and the reason they don't want windows 10 is because of the risk it'll stop stuff from working. In all my experience of Android (and a little iOs) I've never heard of an update break anything.
Everything. That's the problem, I want it all, and I want it now (as they say). Basically, I need somebody to invent the interface from The Matrix so I can have Tank dump jiu-jitsu, kung-fu, and a pilot program for a b-212 helicopter straight into my brain.

That said, in terms of prioritizing, I'll be spending a lot of time this year on topics related to data science, big data, machine learning and AI. Taking some stats classes online, and particularly interested in finally getting a handle on Bayesian statistics and then exploring things like Bayesian Belief Networks, etc.

Also, I've been doing a lot of stuff with R and Octave the past few months, so more of that for sure. May try to pick up some Julia at some point, and I bought a Swift book intending to at least dip my toes in the water with that. I still want to learn to use some things like Prolog, Mercury, CLIPS, OPS5, etc. as well.
It probably doesn't need reiterating but not having Travis like config is my biggest issue with Jenkins as well.

While Pipeline looks awesome for sophisticated entities that have complex workflow it seems overly powerful for most I think that just have a lot of projects and configuration drift.

Pipeline unlike Travis Yaml is also not a declarative language. One of the advantages of using a declarative markup language that respects comments and spaces (cough XML) would be for the Web UI editor to intelligently edit the configuration files while respecting order, formatting and comments (right now I believe Jenkins XStreams so its just naive serialization).
As I learnt looking into the indicators the accessibility of traffic lights had a lot more to do with their vertical position than their colors. Can't use solid green, yellow and red if we want them to be understood by people with various forms of color blindness.

Your seem to be misrepresenting the viewpoint you are responding to, confusing patents (which were not the issue with the APIs) with copyrights (which were.)

Also, as your link note, the UI patents are design patents, which don't cover visual but not functional elements; an API is not within the scope of design patents.
On Android it tends to default to automatically download updates but you can change this easily if you're in the minority of users who don't want enhancements and security fixes.
