If Oracle decides to drop Java development, I wonder who will bother to pick it up.

Surely not Google, if they hadn't bothered the first time around.
Domain registries & registrars do not generally verify the identity of the registrant. It can occur, but only if trademark protection mechanisms are invoked.

By testing the DNS, you really verify the domain operator, which in practice means anyone who can update the NS/DS/glue records. It's arguably quite a weak assertion.

Similarly this explains why DV certificates are cheap and EV certificates are less cheap.

I've known developers who went to management. Some of them went because they liked the idea, some went because they were asked to step up to fill a vacated role. Some have stayed in management, but a lot end up going back to dev eventually. I think it all depends on your attitude and personality.
I counted less than 10 seconds to Twitter on my phone. That's with one other app running. I can open many apps simultaneously, although I rarely go past 6 or 7.

So clearly there are differences between phone models (if indeed my phone has some minor upgrades over previous ones), and/or OS versions.

Top Mobile Apps You Need When Moving to or Visiting Los Angeles
I don't think any of the items you've mentioned really mattered. They were moonshots but the issue with Yahoo, in my mind, is that the investors have different ideas about what they want and how valuable the company really is. And I don't think anything she, or anyone else, did would have made a bit of difference.

There are basically two camps: The founder camps that want to try and prop up the value in order to keep their stake high, and the shark investor camp that are betting on some kind of acquisition (leveraged around the value of Y! Japan and Alibaba) for them to cash in their stake.

The first is the one pushing for all the moonshots (and were the ones moving to hire her in the first place) and the second group would love for her to fail so they can move on with selling the company and get their stake back.

All of the "moonshots" you've mentioned are basically just late game hail mary's that were likely not going to work. IMO, the only way for any CEO to get the business turned around would be to pay off all the shark tank shareholders, strip out as much of the non-core business as they can, and then rebuild the brand from the ground up. However, the founder shareholder camp is firmly against that for a number of reasons, including the fact that many of them would be the ones losing their place at the company.

If you look at the stories of successful turnarounds, they all had unified investors. In the case of Apple, everyone rallied around Jobs because they knew their stake was worthless if they didn't give up on their pet projects. But because of the other investments, there's a solid floor on the value of the company, so all of the key investors know there's a fairly solid floor price on the shares, and everything else is just house money. Why not bet on moonshots in that case?

> vindictiveness towards the media

The 'media' that is wrapping itself in 'Freedom of Speech' so it can distribute videos of Hogan/Terry's cock and ignore direct orders from the courts?

This must be some weird John Lennon song.

Imagine all the witch hunts by hyper socialized ninnies destroying people's lives. At least 4chan recognizes what it's actually trolling for outrage when it goes on raids.

I've seen so much handwaving in the last 24 hrs.

Everything is about what 'could' happen. Well it hasn't. Now what is your argument? Chilling effects? Well people with a similar position to yours are also arguing that he was acting as a clandestine puppet master pushing cats paws around. Bit of a mixed metaphor but you get the picture. Secretly perverting democracy and the public interest, no matter which option is chosen. Then apparently the argument becomes he broke laws of Anglo-Saxon England. Yeah.... I wouldn't continue pulling on that thread if I were you.

Your tribe cannot be pulling for two contradictory arguments like this. The reality is that a rapidly going out of business media conglomerate is trying to pull anybody into the ditch with them so they can distribute the mud they're so adept at raking.

You must at least concede the possibility of the public interest and a private interest being the same.
At the moment the wsj article doesn't correctly link to the abstract so I put it in my post [1] (which also includes the full PDF link to the study [2]).

Considering there are an absolute ton of studies showing there isn't a link this is highly interesting. I'm not a telecom engineer so I don't entirely understand the methodology but part of their pilot study was to test various field strengths that do not raise the mouse or rat's body temperature (does this mean they are not using the same field strength as our towers?). They were also put into custom reverberation chambers; wouldn't that amplify or at least repeat the signal? Or is that not an issue and if so, why?

Also this section has me confused (maybe I'm reading it incorrectly?):

"At the end of the 2-year study, survival was lower in the control group of males than in all groups of male rats exposed to GSM-modulated RFR. Survival was also slightly lower in control females than in females exposed to 1.5 or 6 W/kg GSM-modulated RFR. In rats exposed to CDMA-modulated RFR, survival was higher in all groups of exposed males and in the 6 W/kg females compared to controls."

This makes it sound like the ones exposed to RF lived longer than those in the control. Am I reading that right?

Mother Jones posted this link: http://biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/05/26/055699.f...

Key points:

- The rats were exposed in utero and throughout their lifetimes

- They did pilot studies to find what radiation level did not cause a body temperature rise to remove that as a confusing factor

- 900MHz CDMA and GSM signals

- SAR of 0, 1.5, 3, 6 W/kg. For comparison the FCC limit is 1.2 W/kg in 1 gram of tissue. In the UK/EU it's 2 W/kg.

- 18 hour cycle each day, 10 minutes off, 10 minutes on (i.e. a 9 hour 50% duty cycle)

- 90 rats per gender per group (I think 1260 total)

- 106 week study

- Litter weights were slightly lower in exposed groups (~10%), but over time there was no significant weight difference between the exposed and control groups

- For the things they studied, the exposed rats had a defect rate of a few percent compared to control values of zero. Historic control values were (in my opinion) comparable to the exposed group and it seems to be barely statistically significant. The exception seems to be heart schwannomas which were as high as 7%.

- More will be published this and next year.

Here's a fun statement:

At the end of the 2-year study, survival was lower in the control group of males than in all groups of male rats exposed to GSM-modulated RFR. Survival was also slightly lower in control females than in females exposed to 1.5 or 6 W/kg GSM-modulated RFR. In rats exposed to CDMA-modulated RFR, survival was higher in all groups of exposed males and in the 6 W/kg females compared to controls.
Copyright is a monopoly. I think that's what is confusing. The human right to own something (not necessarily land) is not a market monopoly, except in the trivial sense that there is only one of them and if you choose not to give/sell it away, nobody else can have it.

When you make a creative work, you own that work. This is a human right. It is yours. If you never show it to anyone, then they can't copy it. So in a way, you have the same monopoly in a trivial sense.

Let's say you have an apple and you eat it. I happen to have an apple to and watching you eat it I think, "That looks delicious. I'm going to eat my apple too". It's my apple. I'm allowed to eat it. I'm allowed to copy your action. It's a basic freedom that I enjoy.

Now imagine that you had a monopoly on eating apples. Well, that's pretty horrible for the world. Even if you were the very first person to think of eating an apple, it would be terrible for us to give you a monopoly on eating apples. There are lots of apples. I'm not depriving you of your human right to own apples (or eat them if you choose). Just because you happened to think of it first is no reason to deprive others.

The important thing is: you have no human right to stop others from eating apples. Even if nobody had thought of it before, your human rights only go as far as yourself and the things in your possession. Similarly, even if I was hungry, I have no human right to force you to show me how to eat an apple. It's your apple. It's your body. You can do what you like.

Let's say you have a piece of canvas and some paint. You paint a picture of an apple on your canvas. I think, "Hey, that's pretty cool". I happen to have a canvas and some paint. They are my canvas and paint and I can do what I want with them.... except paint a picture of an apple that looks like your picture. Because you have a monopoly on painting pictures that look like that.

This is almost as terrible as giving a monopoly on eating apples. However, as a society we have decided that we want to encourage innovative apple painting. So even though it is kind of strange, we grant a limited monopoly to anyone who paints an apple that looks different than apples that anybody else has painted previously.

So instead of a human right, what we've done is get together as a society to say, "Apple painting is an important part of our culture and we like to see new apple paintings. It is boring to see the same picture over and over again." We all agree (collectively, through our society) to abstain from copying other people's apple paintings for a certain period of time.

Now, do we have the right as a society to force you to divulge any new apple paintings you might draw? If there is a sudden famine and the only food we have are apples, do we have the right to force you to show us how to eat apples? I am not an expert in these fields, but I suspect that these examples would infringe on human rights, even if it would help society as a whole.

I hope that makes the issue more clear.

If real estate producing rent is taxed it is definitely passed on to the tenant in the form of increased rent. It is just a cost of running a business.

Real estate taxes are in principle very similar to taxing a robot. It will be passed on to the consumer.

If you are referring to rental income being taxed (after all costs are deducted) then it is very similar to profits from robot assisted manufacturing being taxed. This will happen in the current tax regime in the US and here both are similarly situated as well.
> I wish this study wasn't paywalled, it needs some careful reading to determine actual risk.

It's not paywalled. It's linked in the article as well as in other articles. Take a look here: http://biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/05/26/055699.f...

> And then, if phones are causing cancer? Do you think everyone will stop using them? Do you think Apple will go bankrupt?

Everything comes with a risk. If phones really do cause cancer we need to figure out the possibility and weigh it. It's likely very small if it exists whereas every person in the United States, over an average life time, has an almost 2% chance of dying in a car (which is insanely high when you think about it) and yet we're still using cars, non-stop.

In the same way we decide when a person becomes legally major. We draw whichever arbitrary line seems to make the most sense.
The advantage of ag is that it is dumb brute (very brute) force. You do not need an up to date index as it will search whatever is on disk.

I have rtags set up, but it periodically stops working (too many parsing errors, indexer crashes, etc) or it is just slow, then I fall back to ag. It can search a ~1M lines C++ codebase in seconds (and you can start browsing the results while the search is in progress of course). Of couse it also works if you do not have a project setup, or you just switched to a wildly diverged git branch.

I'm definitely going to try this dumb-jump.

Regarding survival, I also noticed it, surprising. Could you define "survival rate" for someone who's not in the field? Does it mean what it looks like it means, i.e., survival rate is higher when rats die at an older age in average?

Although '+' is an acceptable symbol, there's actually nothing in the RFCs that mandates sub-addressing behaviour. The closest you'll get is RFC5233 that defines it for the Sieve filtering language. So although very common, sub-address behaviour is not a standards requirement and should not be presumed.

By "heavy marketing" I presume you mean spammers. If not, be warned, sub-address stripping will mean nondelivery in some cases and could trigger blacklisting via honeypots.

61 Mobile App Testing Tips for 2016
One thing to keep in mind is that the demand of services is fairly elastic. If the cost of legal services go down dramatically the demand will go up quite a bit. The reason many people don't use these services is because of cost and decide to forgo/settle.

I bet there will be a lot of refinancing of mortgages if the closing costs were $500 and the process was one click.

I presume that this is the case with a lot of professional services. In that sense service based economies are better situated than manufacturing based economies.

Every team needs a calendar. Some are better than you excel sheets/gantt charts
But professional investors value companies as a full-time job and still get it wrong a lot of the time. My full-time job is writing computer programs, not investment banking or venture capital. So even if I have access to this information, how can I know what to make of it? I don't know what's important, which little number might be the secret sauce or the torpedo in the engine room. And any company will choose and frame those metrics that make its future look brightest. I think this is a fundamental problem with equity as a form of compensation. As the article points out, I can only invest in one job at a time. Even if it's a good job, how do I know what the future will bring in terms of option value?

As for making me feel like an owner, an oft-cited benefit of equity, I think that's a social phenomenon and not something you can conjure up with a piece of paped. Just as putting a ping pong table in the office doesn't guarantee a laid-back culture, issuing RSUs doesn't guarantee that each employee will feel like an integral part of the mission rather than a cog in the wheel. Both come from the relationships you build up as you go along.

Yes, it's an abbreviation for "read-copy-update", but unfortunately it doesn't really mean that at all. Rather, it's shorthand for something like "Now that I've written the updated version of the data to a new location and atomically switched a pointer so that all new readers will use it, how will I know when all previous readers of the old version have finished so that I can reclaim the space that the old copy was using?" It's a terrible name, but an almost magically efficient approach for certain problems.
You would still buy a Macbook if patents and copyright did not exist, wouldn't you? In fact there are much more powerful designs in the PC world. But you stick to the Apple brand because you've been burnt with everything else, from cheap knock-offs to famous makers who distribute an OEM versions of Windows with viruses and rogue root CA certificates. What saves Apple is being the only make you can rely on. They're not particularly innovative in the products they make. What is the role of patents in that?
Low wages are more symptomatic of 'economic cancer' than causal.

The US economy has been guided by the "trickle down" mentality since the Reagan administration. If money could "trickle up" too, balance could be restored. Some sort of basic income / negative income tax, and reparations for people whom the government hurt with its stupid 100-year long war on plants [1], would be a good start.

tesla is a good example of a company that did this at ipo.

really, there are no financial implications. the valuation of the company stays the same with a split, but the price of the stock changes proportionate to the quantity outstanding. valuation = # shares * $ per share

what the reverse split does (or split - as twilio did a 2:1 split just over a year ago) is put the cost per share in a range that appears more attractive to buyers. in today's market, that is ~$15 +/-5. so if the internal valuation pre-IPO has the stock at $8, the company often reverse splits 1:2 and then you have an initial price back at $16. that way you don't look like a penny stock going out the door.
Or, solve just what you need to. With floppies getting hard to find, but old industrial systems still working just fine, people designed and built floppy emulators:
