This is ridiculous. Now that people know they're being monitored they will make say nice shit on their work accounts and make non-work accounts where they can "be themselves." The system is now useless.
Leaving it purely up to the market doesn't create an effective resource distribution either. It creates a profitable resource distribution for those in charge of the capital. Sometimes that might correspond with an effective resource distribution for society, but many times doesn't.
They're both non-fiction. Context, not just the title can be used in categorization.
The problem is there is no objective way to set the price of the royalty. Pharma companies won't invest in a drug that is only worth $1 per pill. And some pills will need to be taken for a lifetime, while others only need to be taken once - but the value of curing a disease is the same.

A happy discovery: marking a particular wi-fi network as 'metered' (the obvious thing to do, right?) will prevent automatic downloads of updates over that network.
You should read more completely. As a service to lazy readers such as yourself, I quoted one sentence to illustrate the kind of restrictions imposed, but as you apparently missed, I explicitly mentioned it's just an extract: "(etc, with similar language concerning talking about incidents.)"

The free repair is gracious gesture. But the restrictions imposed in return are nevertheless unreasonable - it's one thing to explicitly note that Tesla is doing you a favor and that the favor is not an admission of guilt, it's quite something else to weasel out of responsibility even if you do turn out to be guilty of something.

I feel like the internet mostly held this ideal until the runup to the first dotcom bubble. Then the business people took over, and, as they tend to do, converted these principles into something more suitable for monetization; putting it in the hands of as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, through appeals to ego and emotion instead of reason and rationality.

And here we are today, where the best knowledge is locked up behind paywalls and "cute" and "the new sincerity" (what a load of crap...) reign supreme.
I'm one of those engineers. I was compensated for the patent I was involved with, but I regret it and would gladly return the money if I could take my name off the patent.

I was very conflicted about signing on as a co-inventor since I had strong feelings about software patents (and have even stronger ones now), but I was verbally assured that the patent would only be used as part of a defensive portfolio, etc., etc.

Later I was asked to participate in several other patents, and I declined. I wish I had declined to participate in the first one too, since it's now on the auction block and will very possibly be bought by a patent troll, making me complicit in whatever horrible things that troll chooses to do with my patent.

I quit my job at Yahoo when they sued Facebook. My patent wasn't one of the ones involved in the lawsuit, but the fact that it could have been horrified me, and I couldn't stomach the thought of working there anymore, even though I loved my job.
Absolutely agree. In addition to that we should include things like: radiator, radiator and heater hoses, air conditioning compressor, timing belt, break rotors (disks) and, automatic transmission, suspension bushes and shock absorbers, wheel bearings, exhaust pipes, mufflers, catalytic converters.

I only buy secondhand cars, and these are all things I've replaced, either myself or by mechanics. All these things will eventually wear out on a car, but replacing most of these parts is relatively straight forward, and I believe in expensive in comparison to the huge financial outlay require to purchase a new vehicle - in which we ought to include the depreciation as well as the running costs and maintenance.
I don't think a firewall has ever protected me from anything. It's only ever caused confusing error messages, usually without actually even indicating that the firewall's the problem.

That's not something I'd want to see in 'Linux for human beings'. If my mother is going to use it on her desktop, things should just work.
I agree. Deciphering legacy systems, integrating them, debugging them, and finding minimal safe fixes involves a whole set of legitimate, resume-worthy skills.

> Doing ad-hoc reporting is the IT equivalent of being a short order cook.

Nice analogy.

I used to do a fair amount of ad-hoc reporting on an Oracle database. I used joins (inner and outer), subselects (or self-joins), aggregates, window functions (or whatever Oracle equivalent existed at the time), etc. I'd never hire someone who said they did ad-hoc reporting with SQL but didn't know joins, and I'd be skeptical of someone who didn't know some of these other concepts.
But it is an issue if there's bias towards certain (more expensive) repairs for those models.

> British citizen if that helps

It does, the lineups at Toronto's Pearson Int'l airport are longer for Canadians in my experience.
Oh, but it does exist. Inner ring suburbs in most major northeastern cities fit the bill. I live in a detached house with a nice backyard, built in ~1910. I can walk to my kid's school, the grocery store, bars, gourmet restaurants, shopping, arts, and a metro stop that runs 24/7 for a 15 minute trip into the center of a major city. I can get to the center faster than people living in the city itself.

I work at home, so I rarely drive. When I worked in aforementioned city, I would commute by metro to my office. I probably drive less than 150 miles a month, mostly on long business trips.

Places like this exist, but they are hard to find and often more expensive for a smaller house. It's the perfect mix of urban and suburban for me.

Oh yes they can; the very reason he's even retaining them is to have some plea-bargaining material.

This is great! When will it be a part of Eclipse? The masses want it now! :-)
Also, note that it's not just a restriction on taking them to court about the repair, but also an indemnification against any wrongdoing in "related" incidents and incidents leading up to the repair - i.e. suppose a known manufacturing flaw results in an accident which appears to be the drivers fault, and Tesla's offers this free repair, you also can't claim any medical bills later when the truth emerges.

It's way too broad.
Is that true even for the "Server" distribution, or just the desktop spins?
You are viewing this wrong because it isn't about tastelessness. It is about infringing on the rights of others. Publishing the Mohammed comic isn't infringing on anyone's rights (at least in the US with our strong freedom of speech and lack of federal blasphemy laws.) However you have a right to not be unknowingly filmed while having sex and have that video published. In the comic example you might be offending someone's sensibilities but that isn't enough to violate their rights like the sex tape example.

Or let's use a different example like the Stanford rape case. No one is reporting the name of the victim of that case, but her name is a "raw fact" of the case. Would you support releasing her name and if not, how is that different that releasing the sex tape?
That's what I said.
Yah, the tricky bit is safari access. I'd love to put a bunch of time into using service workers, push notifications, and so on to make an app-like experience for my users (it's a forum / social network thingy for teachers), but mobile safari really puts a crimp in those plans. Instead I have my own homegrown cache and other hairy tricks that are nonstandard, but work on safari.
I'd seen the Q Drum before, and thought the simplicity and effectiveness were great. I had not see the gravity light, but I like it, too.

And I think you're right about solutions being obvious only in retrospect. The simple fact that I can understand a solution as soon as I see it doesn't mean I'll think of the solution as soon as I encounter the problem. Or ever.

In my coding, it's always easier to "see" the complex bad solution than the simple and elegant good solution.

The parts cost much more in luxury cars. Usually the mechanics will charge more too, as they need bs special tools, etc.

Wow. wow. wow. I find it incomprehensible that this would be a concern. I am sorry that you have been made to feel this way.

I'm probably so far right as to make Rush Limbaugh un-listenable (to me) because: 1) he's irritating and repetitive, and 2) too far left. :-) (that's kinda/sorta a joke)

But I've gotta say that even though they were outnumbered (80/20?), females made up at least half, if not more, of my top developers in a start up in the late 90s. And from what I understood (I was afraid to ask), half of the female developers were homosexual. The point is: I would have had to have been insane to fire them. It would have knocked $20M (maybe $200M) off my market cap the very same day!

Overwatch in general seems to be a pretty nice community compared to the others.

However, I'm noticing that as I've ranked up into the sub-population of more experienced or dedicated players, in-game chat has gotten uglier, with people ending games typing "gg ez" or "l2p noob" in chat.

Compared to the kinds of things you'd see in League of Legends, that's pretty benign, but I'm definitely seeing a steady increase in the number of angry or bad-mannered messages in my games of Overwatch.

Fortunately there are "avoid this player" and "block this person" buttons that you can use to tune them out and avoid ever playing with them again. Part of me wishes that Blizzard would shove players with high incident rates into some sort of toxic player purgatory.

I actually think this very situation is happening in the states right now where someone is "required" to unlock their encrypted hard drive and the defendant is claiming to have forgot the password. Not sure what has happened with the case though.
This won't go anywhere. First, Gawker is bankrupt after the ruling so they don't get to say where any money is spent and the trustee has a fiduciary responsibility to unwind or recapitalize the business and not fund vengeance lawsuits. Second, from what I've read Thiel's support of Hogan is perfectly legal as long as there is no agreement to pay him back or split the "winnings" if wins.
Good answers. If you're ever going to an "unconference", don't say that!

>Every other first world country has a similar agency/bureau.

It is funny how Hungary is setting up a similar agency (TIBEK) currently and uses this exact same argument to get privileges other governments already enjoy.

This is what I was thinking about. Thanks.
Standard doesn't mean it's right - and note that it's not just excluding liability over the repair but over a really broad and unclearly defined set of events.

What rule? That it's political? But it's not really. It's not about any specific candidate or policy, but whether Google censors search results.

"Hillary Clinton is a jerk" would be a political article.

"Google removes 'Hillary Clinton is a jerk' from search results" is not.

Read the rest of the agreement; the quote is merely an excerpt (which is why I followed it with "etc, with similar language concerning talking about incidents.") - similar language to that of the excerpt restricts other activities, not just claims.
The point here is that people who do what you say very very rarely contribute to the field of mathematics in a meaningful way. You can "learn something" all day long every day for the rest of your life. Mathematics is vast. But that doesn't mean you're learning something that is both useful and not already known.

If your argument is "you can have fun pretending to know maths all by yourself" then fine. But that's not valuable to anybody.
Well oil/tires would be included in that $15,600.
Has Johnson (+) said anything about the TPP yet? I would assume that Libertarians lean toward "free" trade deals.

Against someone saying there should be legal liability for releasing it, definitely.

If your local legislature doesn't enable the treaty, you aren't bound by it: it isn't a part of your law. A trade treaty is essentially a promise to pass a set of laws.
Was Marcel Duchamp's 'Fountain' really created by a pioneering feminist?
He did that because he had to pick a party. He could have just as easily run as a Democrat and used the same tactics with different talking points.

He doesn't really alight with either party.

But he's most certainly anti-free-trade. All of his business and money is in the US (mostly in real estate). It's in his best interest to artificially prop up US industry by shutting down inbound trade.

Specifically with regard to DRM I'd say they are just as ineffective, but more consumer hostile.
And that's really sleazy. Tesla may well have done nothing wrong, in which case this is a good deal. But they may also have made a negligent mistake "leading to" the repair, and Tesla might know that - the customer does not.

So by using this excessively broad disclaimer, they gain the flexibility to escape liability not just where they're in the right, but also where they may have made costly mistakes - since clearly the it's in the best self-interest of the customer to accept the deal usually, and by the time they find out Tesla may have tricked them, they've already signed.
No, you don't. He's saying the math doesn't add up in terms of how they calculated the mean of the brand and the 'highest' avg. mean of the models (in that brand).
As a prominent example of a treaty which was negotiated fully in the open: The UN treaty. Broadcasters were present and recording large parts of the negotiations. Positions papers were printed during the negotiations. Detailed information including drafts was mailed out to citizens of many countries.

Negotiating treaties in private has become normal because its inconvenient to those who wish to find ways getting their pet provisions packaged into something that is hard to resist.

The left is in a full "smear Trump" mode now. The problem they have is anyone can do an Alphabet(tm) search and get the truth so smear campaigns don't work as well as they did in the past. Also, no matter how much they smear Trump it doesn't make Hillary Clinton any better, she is unelectable and Trump is going to win in a landslide.

NB: I don't support either candidate, so don't take my post as an endorsement of Trump.
I didn't realize Postgres already had SQL support in 1994! I didn't try to use it around that time; msql was a thing for a while, and then people moved to the protocol-compatible MySQL. I was using INFORMIX in that job (1996–7) and it wasn't for several more years that e.g. Slashdot switched to SQL backends.

So why didn't people use SQL in Postgres95? The licensing was fine. My best guess is that the SQL support wasn't yet good enough to be useful. The database as such (transactions, data types, persistence) was already pretty solid, as I understand it.

KeePassX doesn't do auto-updating, for one. I am kind of a purist when it comes to software, and anything that feels clunky and bloated I'm just going to assume is made by people with insufficient competence. And truly, nobody is competent enough on their own, it requires a community. And it is much easier to collaborate through github than through... however it is that KeePass does it.
This whole incident has convinced me to actually use a tool like this, so I'm going to write one and distribute the extension code for free. I promise you won't be able to detect it, so good luck.

I think anyone who wants the ability to obscure their search footprint should have it. And if you think otherwise, I'm doubly convinced it's necessary.
That depends, there are two distinct states.

One is triggered if there are network connectivity issues, in which case the game isn't scored for anybody. This is to get around the MMR abusers that would queue bots to leave on the other team so they would get a quick win.

The second state is usually triggered if a player has left after first blood. Even then, there are compensatory mechanisms. You lose less MMR than you would normally, and if a player leaves, your team will receive unreliable gold at a faster rate.

Oh, god, the lead is that "starts before configuration" non-issue. If you're not properly firewalled to begin with, why are you installing applications? And seriously, how hard is it to put the config file in place before installing the package instead of after it (apt won't overwrite it), if you're that damned concerned about the milliseconds of "vulnerability" between your configuration management tool installing the package and then plonking down your config and restarting it?

And if you're manually configuring your hardened servers instead of using a configuration tool, then you have significantly greater problems than 'omg! starts too early!'. And even then, if you're manually installing something and you think it's going to have a preconfig vuln, then just add '&& service thingy stop' after your install line.

Seriously, this is a vim-vs-emacs-style non-complaint, for when you can't think of any actual issues.
If you read my comment, you'll note that I'm merely quoting a part of the agreement. The full agreement is linked in case you're curious about the NDA terms.

There have been quite a few commenters that haven't bothered to read even my short comment, let alone the (also rather short) agreement, yet still felt qualified to determine that the NDA clauses aren't present. They are.

Personally, due to the overbroad scope I find these liability limiting clauses at least as objectionable as the NDA clauses.

'Udta Punjab' is not "banned" anywhere. CBFC asked them to make a huge number of cuts including those you mention in order to get an 'A' certificate. The producers took them to court and have so far only conceded one cut: depicting the rock star protagonist high and pissing on the audience during a concert. The Bombay High Court has slammed the CBFC (aka 'censor' board) for overreaching reminding them that censorship is not part of their mandate. The official verdict is on Monday but so far it looks like the movie will be passed with no other cuts. Also, there is an appellate tribunal in the CBFC which reverses its decisions on specific cuts for the most part but they weren't invoked in this case because of the shortage of time.

So yes, the CBFC did probably do what they did under political pressure but the politicians don't control everything in the end.
