I think this is a mis-representation of Stallman's point. Notice that Stallman has his non-code media mostly under a no-derivatives creative commons license.

From what I understand, Stallman is concerned about making sure our infrastructure is free (as in freedom). The simplicity of copying is almost a tangential issue. His point is that for a society to be considered free (democratic, empowered, etc.) the people need access in a meaningful way to the infrastructure that helps create that society. To me, his point is a natural extension of forcing government documents to be under public domain and providing architectural blueprints for public scrutiny.

Maybe I'm wrong and mis-interpreting Stallman's point. Do you have a reference that would support your claimed stance on Stallman's 'ease of copying = moral justification against copyright' interpretation?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the latter, but looks like it requires a user to install a Windows client called 爱思助手 (Aisi Helper), purportedly for jailbreaking etc., then connect their iOS device to a Windows PC running this software. So it's hardly a typical case.

Regarding the former, yes it may be possible to hardcode addresses for private APIs and target specific devices running specific iOS versions, but Apple routinely weeds these out.
Edit: I assume Apple weeds these out. I have no reference for this.

I realize it's not bulletproof, but it's still good enough to trust for me as an iOS user compared to the Android phone I was using until last year.
I took this specific quote as killing yourself is the most merciful thing you could do for others. Dark indeed.

Yes, they do make education accessible. Consider courses on AI for Robotics, Probabilistic Graphical Models. Learning these topics directly with the books and without the forum support is at least 3-4x tougher in my opinion. And for people who believe that everything is available on the internet - you are wrong! There is material from grad courses in AI that is very difficult to approach directly from the papers or the books. An example is the Reinforcement Learning Course on Udacity.

None of these firms that charge their portfolio companies are the typical valley top-tier funds, but I do not think it means that charging portfolio companies for professional services is a bad thing.
> FWIW in June of last year, Obama allied with Senate Republicans, beating his own party, to get TPP fast tracked, meaning that the vote will be all or nothing, up or down,

This is true. A supermajority in Congress chose to preemptively waive its filibuster, as it has routinely in such situations since the 1970s. Article 1 Section 5 of the Constitution grants each house of Congress the power to set its own rules. Many believe the filibuster shouldn't exist.

> and will receive little debate, oversight, and no amendments before the vote.

I don't understand how people are still making this argument.

The text has available for seven months at this point and no vote is in sight. There's been plenty of time for both NGOs and individuals to review. The treaty is fairly lengthy (it did take seven years to negotiate after all), but it's certainly readable.

If you're so concerned about not knowing the text, why don't you read it?

The problem with visibility is the following. Let's say you make a commercial/web-ad/etc for App "A".

The customer would with 0.05% probability click the link, but maybe remembers the name.

So now in their spare time they would think, let's look for this app "A" ? so they input the name and only "B","C", and "D" that have nothing to do with "A" came up, that would be not that good, right?

A real world equivalent would be: You are in a supermarket and want to buy "A" beer because you heard the radio commercial and the assistant guides you to the vegetable, the ice-cream, and the raw meat section but neither to "A" nor the beer section. So you need to know before you newly discover "A" in the beer section that there is a beer section and that "A" is the beer to try. If there are now 20,000 beers that is your problem right there.

In comparison, on Amazon it is more effective to find products through recommendations and "similar products" which help customers find new products.

The app discovery path does not work in the app store.
Yup. It's called "reserve".

VCs often reserve a minor portion of the fund (~30%) for investing in future rounds of the fund's existing portfolio companies.
These statistics here are collected by the semi-government run German technical control organization. Every car in Germany has to be checked by them every ~two years to be allowed in traffic.

http://www.anusedcar.com/

This is a different data source: they only check if the care is safe, i.e. cosmetic issues won't show up in the statistic. They also won't see cars that are actually broken. Also consider the skew by owners who care more about their car.

But overall, it might still be fair to extrapolate from fundamental safety issues to overall car quality. The numbers are quite different from what Your Mechanic reports.
The article does not seem to say however that A/C may be applicable to Udta Punjab.

And A/C is a ridiculous idea: if Benegal actually proposed this I think I've lost a great deal of respect for him. "Only to be screened in red-light areas". Ridiculous.
This is a skillcap issue, surely. One great CS:GO player might easily wipe out five bumbling opponents; in Dota-likes skill is much less likely to overcome numbers.
Not true on the 6S. The AT&T model covers more LTE bands (addition of band 30) and has otherwise identical frequency and network support.

"As a Prius owner, I am also amused by the oft-repeated Tesla claim of 'All electric! Simpler system! Fewer repairs!' - given the many production defects they seem to have."

In theory, theory and practice are the same thing. In practice, they're not.
They can pass it by signing it.
You could imagine that owners of a more expensive car are more likely to use the original dealer for most repairs, and only seek a third party shop for very expensive repairs. Which, depending on methodology, might skew Your Mechanic's numbers. But that's only speculation given they don't reveal their numbers, methods, or sample sizes.
OK, I agree that finding a particular app by name has been broken for a long time in the app store.
I've had a decent amount of work done on my car. But the few bigger repairs were either expected, or unusual and not representative of the model (like the engine work I had to do). And the dealer has given me some significant goodwill discounts.

But one thing is that the parts of the hybrid system are different than normal gas cars. The transmission is probably different, and the gas engines are smaller. So most independent shops don't really have experience working on those hybrid-specific parts.

Another thing is that the HV batteries don't last forever, and are expensive to replace. And the warranties don't always cover the average life of a battery.

The third thing is that hybrid battery is high voltage. So most shops won't want to do any repairs that will touch the HV electrical system.

You can find independent mechanics that work on hybrids, hybrid car repair just require a little more specialization than other cars.
Khan Academy started out with Youtube videos and grew into a web site with quizes and tests. I don’t know if you can call it a MOOC but it teaches subjects well enough.

I guess they rely on donations, and advertising on Youtube?

I'd be curious where Tesla would fall on this list. Obviously they haven't been around long enough to get the data though.
Additionally, I think it's a misleading thought pattern to divide the world into motivated/unmotivated individuals since motivation can vary within a person.

I've successfully learned quite a few difficult things without Coursera etc that I was highly motivated to learn. And I've learned more things via Coursera that I was less motivated to learn (or didn't even know I wanted to learn).
Some people learn by being taught, some people learn by doing. MOOCs cater to the first.

I know this, because I am in the second (you may be too). I'll dig around looking for the information because I am using it right at that moment and NEED to understand it.

I did a Coursera Machine Learning course, my first University level class after being out of school since the early 90s. I learned how about matrices (had very little math experience before), I learned about transforms, I tried to figure out what all the cryptic symbols meant, but MOSTLY, I learned how to answer the test questions.

I don't feel I really have any more understanding of machine learning today than I did before the course. Different strokes...
The ISA is generally pretty well-defined, a lot of the undefined behavior is introduced by C.

So I don't think it's fair to say that C "gets out of the way". It won't let you get the overflow flag, or alias arbitrary pointers, for instance.

After reading the replies, I now think my first assumption was wrong, and that Coursera does in fact offer substantially more than raw stacks of torrented pdfs.

But that's just my second point. MOOCs are a substantial service built on top of the free internet. Surely that costs money? And surely the fact that MOOCs are increasingly charging for stuff (and taking measures to make sure users pay) is not a sign that "social fairness" is deteriorating, but simply the usual costs of building anything at all?

The payment to the government is irrelevant. The point is that the government artificially restricts the number of occupational licenses.
That probably hasn't been tested in court, but even if it has you shouldn't buy into the software patent system. Just make loads of prior work so that your software can be used to destroy other parents.

> What possible benefit could there be to helping people who are hostile to their platforms develop for them? If you want to develop for Apple platforms, you do so from Apple platforms.

That suggests you think every developer who wants to publish iOS apps should either do so from a Mac or they are automatically hostile towards Apple. That's the point I was touching.

I personally wouldn't call Apple's choices hostile and I don't think anyone is entitled to have cross-platform tools. But you made it clear you think I'm an "enemy" as long as I'm not on a Mac, and there would be zero benefits in allowing me to publish apps to my phone.

(ps. I do own a Mac)

>An alternative view...is creating a bleeding-edge factory...

This is not what Toyota does. VW does this[1]. Tesla does this[2]. But not Toyota [3].

Watch those videos. Which ones are full of robots and computers? Which ones are all manual labor? My tone should give it away.

The Toyota Production System link you cite was heavily developed by Taiichi Ohno. You can learn more in his 1978 book: "Toyota Production System". There's a whole chapter on procurement. Taiichi san's very, very strong belief is:

When purchasing new equipment, we must consider buying the
minimum capable of meeting our requirements. Reliability and
ease of maintenance should be considered before features.
Bells and whistles can often be added later if the need
arises. We want to avoid buying features "just in case." We
must consider up-time, utilization and quality factors when
making equipment choices.

Further emphasis is put on making old equipment last longer. Less 'bleeding edge'. More 'minimum viable' meets 'minimum risk'.

Design emphasis is very conservative. Material choice is very conservative. You will not find innovation. You will find reliability. You will find simplification. You will find repeatability. As far as risk goes, Toyota is the bond market of the automotive industry.

They make a vehicle in nearly every category. It is a standout in none of them. The engines are bulkier. They are less fuel efficient. They underperform in nearly every metric. They are costly for their performance specs. But they last.

The interesting thing about their production line system is how much is focused on the people on the line rather than automating the process on the line. It's the YC version of "Talk to your users" - except applied to workers on the line. Most companies try to automate this step out. Toyota does remove their workers - but only to get more training. This English translation[4] of a Le Monde artice from a few years ago goes into extensive detail about the "Takumi" system of training master craftsmen.

Toyota gets a lot of deserved credit for making great products - how they make those products is frequently misunderstood - famously so by Detroit in the '80's. Their process is counter-intuitive and worth a study. I recommend starting with Taiichi's book mentioned above.

Indeed. And even ARM has TrustZone. Our governments own us. Just accept it.
I feel Coursera's pricing strategy is located at two opposite extremes and misses out an entire range of options in the middle. They either make an entire course completely free with no option to pay even if the student wants to, or they put it behind a paywall where one can't even start without paying.

They along with their institutional partners are missing out revenue from people like me who'd like to pay some amount, but not the amount they fix. I'm happy to pay some amount without a certificate. They should consider giving a pay-what-you-like option for all their courses.
You don't need to explain your goals, I get it, it's obvious. What I'm saying is, you won't achieve them by giving politicians more control over elections, they already have too much control over elections.

Synthesis. To a point you're right. A lot of this may just be education porn. But a greater breadth and depth of knowledge permits synthesis. Computer science, computing in general, is one of the greatest examples of synthesis.

Starting with mathematics, the a theoretical machine, augmented by a language hierarchy gleaned from linguistics, with models based in real biological and physical systems. Even today's hotness in machine learning with ANNs is founded in an attempt to understand intelligence based on the physical structure of the mind.

Perhaps much of this can be recreated without being exposed to mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, philosophy, linguistics, and other fields. But I imagine the insights needed to develop the first ANN model, the first language designed around a CFG would've taken far longer to develop in that narrow worldview.
I had a twitter account from they launched SXSW. It was useful then to find out where friends where and what bands they were recommending.

After SXSW, it just went quiet. I had no use for it. Didn't really get it.

Last year I found out that a few colleagues that don't use Facebook but swear by Twitter, so I gave it a shot.

I started following my colleagues, and saw how they were reposting articles, I started following those posters, etc etc. It is now part of my media consumption. I get different content and ideas than I do through HN and FB.

That's been my experience, and now I find myself tweeting a bit more. Just my 2cents.

> Indeed, most people use only ~20% of the features -- the problem is that these 20% are not the same for everyone.

Yep. The trick is walking the line: if you don't develop the features in the first place, you may not get some of those customers because you don't meet their needs. If you try to be everything to everyone, you end up with everyone being upset later when it's slow/buggy and you're inevitably forced to change it.

There's also going to be some portion, call it 20% or 5% or whatever, of your features that almost nobody uses, and that's the stuff that really can bog you down. I think it's healthy for a company to really take a hard look at this from time to time: take into account the costs of those features to calculate the profitability of those customers, consider their future potential, the market reaction/perception of having them (or losing them), and really consider if those features (ad customers) are truly worth keeping.
BillG is trying to expand out into other areas with his foundation. Apparently he wants to use vaccines to help people, but isn't aware of the environmental effects. He also seems to think raising chickens is easy. So a real chicken farmer describes just how hard it is.

I know BillG means well, being one of the richest men in the world does not mean he is an expert on everything. Some things he has been wrong on. Some stuff at Microsoft didn't do so well either like MS-Bob and the Office Paperclip assistant. So he gets things wrong sometimes.

I really hope he uses his money to talk to real chicken farmers and innovate an easier way to raise chickens via technology.
