That's a very interesting idea. I wonder if it's a viable option.

edit: It'd actually be pretty effective if you stop to think about it, even if it doesn't technically prevent litigation.

Just think: "Sorry, this product isn't available in you're area due to patent litigation concerns". Part of me wonders if that happened with Netflix, Google Maps, etc. wouldn't the people start hating the patent litigation instead of being content with it?
I think they mean that case-sensitive crawlers are disallowed, and they reserve the right to arbitrarily sue case-insensitive crawlers under the CFAA.
Interesting. Are the weeds penetrating through a barrier like cardboard - or just through a mulch layer? I've worked on some larger-scale permaculture projects where a cardboard/mulch combo managed to kill off a thick blanket of ivy, and that stuff is tenacious.
I have no idea! I'm not a corporate lawyer.

And, frankly, I'm not surprised that it took a fair amount of legal work to figure out the answer. I, like you I take it, have the intuition that the answer should be "no." But I'm also not confident that the answer is not "yes." If the answer is "yes," I'd say the odds are 50/50 that there is a good reason behind it. (If, as one should, you count as a good reason "there is binding precedent in this circuit that says it must use the word 'certify'" then the odds jump to pretty near 100%.)

But I will say that, if you're trying to argue that the legal system is too arcane and complicated, a lawsuit over a "shareholder petition under corporate by-laws" is an exceptionally poor example. This is an especially technical areas of law that, among other things, makes the almost explicit assumption that, given the subject matter, parties will be unusually sophisticated and well resourced.
The problem with subscriptions is that it allows the app maker to potentially not maintain and improve their app while still earning money.

I've been employed by companies (who I've now left) where the management explicitly wanted to move to subscription for this reason: not having to keep adding new features to get customers to buy new versions. (apps were desktop software).

That's not to say subscription doesn't make sense - but it's not a complete win for everyone.
Awesome post! And great example on how you can use Machine Learning to makes salespeople life easier! Have you tried MonkeyLearn? You can easily create machine learning models on the fly, have great tools to improve your models (like explore which samples are creating confusions) and y0u don't have to worry about deploying the model in your servers, maintenance, etc.
Even with unlimited, no-password required sudo, it provides a valuable addition: audit logging.

every command you run with sudo is logged, along with the user than ran it. On GCP each end user is provisioned a separate login user, and logs can be shipped to Stackdriver Logging where they cannot be modified. This makes access really verifiable.
In Germany, we've had a female head of government for over a decade now and, if my memory is correct, Angela Merkel's gender has never been a big issue. With this background, I find it really strange to hear Clinton making such a big deal out of the fact that she's a woman. It's pretty obvious that she's a woman and we all understand the significance of that. But the fact that she's stressing it so much could unnecessarily antagonize people, for example women who may feel that she is implying that any female who's not voting for her is a traitor, or men who may feel that Clinton is not representing their interests. Overall, I find Clinton's way to deal with this issue quite heavy-handed. Why isn't she taking Obama's approach and letting the fact that she's a women speak for itself?
Perhaps there are ways to defer the lawsuits for lengthy periods of time? (I don't actually know.)

> it's way more profitable to raise chickens than, say, cows. You need to have a bigger barn for cows, you need to do all the hay thing, which is very time consuming and demands a lot of extra work just for feeding said cows, you need to pay someone to take care of the cows when they go out to eat in the summer on the communal field.

This is surprising to me. Of course a cow should be more work to raise than a chicken. But it has so many times more meat on it than a chicken, and is more energy efficient per calorie consumed too.

Similarly with beans and cabbage. They might be easier to grow, but in terms of calories they seem much less efficient than, say, potatoes.

If this was addressed in the article, sorry. It's just a blank page on my browser.
Though this would obviate the most compelling argument for namespacing, which is to allow exactly that.
That's not the natural ratio at birth, that may be what some people like to keep their flock at by eating the males.

Compiler errors are much better than the alternative: a run-time bug that won't manifest itself until you put the program under the correct conditions for failure. Compile-time errors are something that programmers have added to compilers to make programming easier/safer because the alternative is truly catastrophic (accidentally shipping broken software and having to isolate more bugs by hand).
I'm not really arguing against syntax highlighting, just saying that this argument for it isn't so black-and-white. Keep in mind that there are many issues syntax-highlighting can't catch that your compiler can (unresolved identifiers, using the wrong function, or accidentally choosing the wrong keyword).

It's a feature they introduced pretty recently (~ a month ago IIRC), but it always kind of worked with CI + some tinkering (I know this because my organization used our own instance of GitLab as our publishing platform before this feature became a thing).
They will gladly start with your crops and ignore the bugs, depending on what you are growing. Letting chickens in your garden is one of those things lots of websites repeat, but doesn't actually work well at all.
The article mentions that they make most of their money by raising and selling the chickens, not selling eggs. If you could sell your chickens for $5 a piece, as is common in West Africa, you could easily make a profit.

Not to mention $400 for a chicken coop is on the expensive side. You can buy a ready made 4 chicken coop for less than $300, and a friend of mine built a fairly sizeable coop for $200.

You are confusing the win32 subsystem with the NT kernel. They are not the same, the win32 layer acts as a translation. Also symbolic and hard links are supported by NTFS, they are just not exposed in the UI. There are utilities to create them if you really want to.

The shell itself and the rest of userland has very little to do with the kernel. It seems its the userland you are upset with. Swapping out the kernel won't fix that.
It's never been "a land of the free." The original constitution didn't even include the bill of rights because it can't be easily reconciled with slavery.

Mathematical analysis of the problem leads to the same conclusion as I would have told if someone asked me about the food delivery business model in India.

The economic reason for possible failure can be stated in just a couple of sentences - Labour is cheap in India, so most restaurants keep on-staff delivery personnel. This makes it easy for them to ramp-up if needed and often they have no need to contract with a third-party, food delivery service.

I see this model as a possibility here in the US, where labour is not cheap, and not all restaurants deliver food themselves. And yes, I believe they can work well. I used DoorDash several times when I resided in an area they serviced. Whether these businesses flourish or not is an entirely different matter, and growing competition in the field is definitely not making it easy.

Oh and he flagged the other article that mentions his participation, what does he have to hide ? If theres nothing wrong with the meeting, why wont he allow discussion about the topic ?

But you are pretty much comparing to the worst possible option there with cattle. Almost everything else is easier and has a better feed conversion ratio: chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, etc.

If you own a Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black, Intel Galileo, or (honestly) any tiny computer, you can probably read and write SPI via spidev. [1]

Another alternative is a buspirate, but it is much slower. [2] If you don't plan on doing this often, it's probably the way to go. Cheap and has the ability to do a lot more than just SPI.

But there is definitely not a need to shell out $100+ for a dediprog.

Big warning, though, if you decide to use any of these methods with a chip that is still on-board, you really should use a benchtop power supply. You run the risk of damaging your device otherwise-- I damaged my Beaglebone Black this way. Your device might be able to supply 3.3v to a small chip, but the board probably will draw more than that depending on isolation.

If you don't have one, find a cruddy ATX PC power supply on craigslist, probably in the free section. The orange lines are 3.3v and will work in a pinch.

You can stick an activated Fi SIM in an iPhone if you want. It's undocumented, but it works fine. The only thing I lost was smooth switching between cellular and wifi, but otherwise I've been quite happy with it.
There's one very good reason to use sudo instead of being in a root shell: audit trails. sudo logs its invocations. While you could always see who is becoming root, you'd have to look through root's shell history to see what's happening (which isn't hard to purge - one of the many reasons a remote syslog server may be called for).
Call panic() from the callback ;-)
Oh yes, I've used it for many years (though many years ago). For me it depends on the size of the program and the compile time; if it's a short one and compiles quickly, I'll throw a print/puts/print/echo in there just to see what's going on.
I understand the Boeing approach of physical linkage to be the best idea, rather than any kind of indirect force feedback which is possible to misinterpret.

As for your last point, I'm not an expert, and I'm not as incredulous about this scenario as you seem to be. (As a teenager I did fly a lot in PC flight simulators, though.)

The non-technical Vanity Fair article I referred to claims that the accident investigators estimated the last point at which the aircraft could have recovered from the dive was around the time it passed 13,000 feet:

"Though precise modeling was never pursued, the investigators later estimated that this was the last moment, as the airplane dropped through 13,000 feet, when a recovery would theoretically have been possible. The maneuver would have required a perfect pilot to lower the nose at least 30 degrees below the horizon and dive into the descent, accepting a huge altitude loss in order to accelerate to a flying angle of attack, and then rounding out of the dive just above the waves, pulling up with sufficient vigor to keep from exceeding the airplane’s speed limit, yet not so violently as to cause a structural failure. There are perhaps a handful of pilots in the world who might have succeeded, but this Air France crew was not among them. There is an old truth in aviation that the reasons you get into trouble become the reasons you don’t get out of it."
>I can't help but be reminded of the many charitable programs that sound great but end up having very unusual unintended consequences that often defeat the purpose or make it worse.

It might be that such stories are interesting and more likely to make the media/top of HN. I mean 100 charities could work just fine, and no one really cares. But a single story about unintended consequences is interesting and gets on the top of reddit and facebook etc.
> 1. The use of drive letters A-Z for file system access.

NT has a root directory like Unix does. Drive letters are symbolic links inside a directory called \DosDevices.

Granted, this is not user-visible but an implementation detail. The needs of Win32 applications dictate a lot of user-visible behavior.

> 2. Creating symbolic links to files and folders,

NT supports symbolic links. Open cmd and type "mklink".
The purpose of a namespace is to make it possible to disambiguate two otherwise identical identifiers. If you force package names to be unique across all namespaces, then you don't have namespaces at all, you just have a single global namespace where you're forced to prepend an author name to the package name.

one of the funny things foreigners notice when they come to my country(Kenya) is that there's chicken & chips shops EVERYWHERE. People absolutely adore chicken over here and are willing to pay over the odds for it, so the supply has adjusted their prices accordingly.
Misspelling the keyword happens relatively early in the compiler pipeline (during parsing). If your build hasn't changed very significantly (i.e. something along the magnitude of <1000 lines changed that aren't scattered across tons of files) it should warn you within a few seconds. Anything else is a failure in the design of the compiler or build system. (In fact, outside of C or C++ compilation is usually much, much faster than what you cite). Non-trivial projects in better-designed languages can easily take a tiny fraction of that time.
Honestly I just think 4chan should get involved in this. That would probably turn out awesome.

Simple: pay for things you need.

Over the last few decades the American people have been conned into this idea that government is fundamentally too big and needs to be shrunk because of reasons. People save a few measly percentage points on taxes that help pay for the axle damage on their car after being driven over roads that are no longer repaired.

Municipalities had to find ways to recoup costs from slashed state and federal budgets, which is why there is such a big problem in poor, mostly black American cities, as people are pulled over and fined up the ass for every possible infraction just so the city can afford itself.

This kind of crap has nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with fiscal irresponsibility.

I don't see that in there -- I see where it mentions about writing blog posts is bad advice, so this may be similar. However, I don't think they are saying it is bad per se, just that it won't magically land you a job.

However, presenting in front of a peer group does do a couple things. First, you have to prepare, which helps you realize what skill you actually have. Secondly you end up building a lot of self confidence, especially on the topics that you are presenting on.

Which in my case somehow worked major magic. When I was last unemployed for about 4 months, I seemed to have flubbed a couple interviews. Well, I went to some Linux user group meetings, presented on a couple technical topics I was passionate about, and then offered to help anyone with problems that they were having on any of their environments (this was related to things like iptables configurations, clustering, virtualization, etc). The following week I went into an interview, and it was like I was watching myself on auto-pilot. Identifying problems and offering possible solutions, picking up on what was working or not based on body language, dynamically adjusting my message to fit what the interviewer was looking for, and I landed the job and started the next day.
My bank (Netherlands) offers something like what you describe, and I would still prefer to be able to use services like Mint.

> Planning requires thought, so I'm skeptical that you can automate a budget and then have people follow it (unless it's a very lenient budget).

I agree with your point - your budget is specific to your situation, so you will still need to plan it yourself. But - once the budget is set up - don't you see some value in not having to update your spreadsheet and compare it to your bank statements? Or getting a notification on your phone that you are approaching the limit of your entertainment budget this month, because the system has tallied up how much you spent in the coffee shop?
How to clean your address book with a bit of Swift scripting
1. The use of a multi-root hierarchy vs. a single root hierarchy is pretty arbitrary. Drive letters in turn are just an arbitrary way to define the multi-root hierarchy.

2. `mklink` [0] has existed since Windows Vista for NTFS file system. No settings toggling required.

3. What is your argument against PowerShell? In what ways does it fall short? I have been pretty successful with using it for various tasks.

4. This is about the only legit claim. Windows always requires full credentials to execute as another user. Windows does provide `runas.exe`, but you must provide the target user's full credentials.
