By the nature of what it is, the point of their DRM is to stop multiple people playing from one license. Sure, your example is much more friendly than, say, uploading to a torrent site, but you're still trying to get around the license restriction. If you want to get around the rule of one license per person then of course you won't like any implementation of DRM, but your complaint should be about the license policy, not the DRM implementation.
In the old days, we needed "separation of church and state", but now it seems we need to add "separation of corp and state"..

I support Doctors Without Borders choice and strongly disagree with how the EU is dealing the issue; and for that matter not dealing with the related issues.

Most natural way of dealing with the issue is to allow those legally escaping a country to seek asylum wherever they're able to do so and/or to them feels like the best place to go.
In theory, 25% of the population has an IQ below 90. If that's a severe disadvantage we're talking about ~75M people just in the US.

Edit: I read comments before the article as the HN discussion is typically more interesting than the article itself. Didn't realize this exact stat is in the article.
I read that most refugees pouring into the EU are there for economical reasons, and states argue that as such they don't have to admit them. Cannot find that article right now.

What does ownership have to do with it, you fucking moron?

That does not make him more right than any other human being.
Ownership means one can impose ones will, it does not mean you are omniscient.

People in the UK are very aware of VAT. However we do like to know the total cost in advance of paying.

As an aside, many restaurants here have included service charges (but these are usually optional, so although they are shown on the menu you can choose to not pay)

I think also in Europe many do not see tax as pure evil.
There are "limits" and there are "limits".

If the receiving country has no room, is broke, and its citizenry are on the edge of starvation, then that's one limit.

Somehow I don't think that's the limit you are talking about, but that's the only obvious one I can think of.

What do you think is the limit, and why do you think the EU countries already past or even near to that limit?

Of those products you name, GMail, Youtube, Chrome, Maps and Docs are near-commodity products. These are just basic services for which open-source versions exist, and every engineering team of about 50 people could easily recreate them given today's state of technology.

The real struggle lies not in the technology, but in the network-effect and branding.
Ugh. The article doesn't answer the question. It just buries this speculation towards the end: "Stern and Guzman are agnostic about why this is happening. But one obvious answer suggests itself: the increased power of established incumbents".
We need generalisations to make sense of the world around us, but they always come at a cost of accuracy. Sometimes, the loss of accuracy is so great that the generalization does more harm than good. I think trying to equate the causes and possible solutions of this situation with the Israel-Palestine situation is one such example.

No, I don't. And looking into a history book for five minutes reminds me why.

There is a reason that the tax system has been invented and is used basically everywhere (exceptions are failed states): Hoping to get the money needed for duties carried out by the government institutions on behalf of the state by charity does not work.

It could be a fake, but that has no bearing on whether or not what is written there is factually correct. Judge the document contents on their merits or lack thereof, not by their provenance.
The system we have now is far from perfect, and it's being changed with every passing moment by more forms of automation. However, it's a system that was able to take a species of this earth and raise it out of the dirt to be able to mostly conquer its domain - and possibly the solar system and outer-space if we play our cards right.

While some people who have gained powerful positions through their abilities (or their forefather's) have abused them, many have not. That said, "survival of the fittest" is still in some part responsible for the great achievements of mankind which has benefited civilization as a whole.

What's interesting here is that with your plan, those achievements may end up being its downfall too. A slow slide into mediocrity is the fastest way to lose our grip on the controls of our own destiny. Barring an asteroid, super-powerful alien race, or spiteful deity, I like our chances playing the long game with what has (mostly) worked until now.
Can you clarify who would be breaching which contract?
I feel forcing restaurant and vendors to quote the full price allows politicians off the hook for high tax rates. I think it serves a purpose that anyone that has parked in NYC knows there is 18%+ tax on their parking lot, and everyone in PR knows of 11% tax tacked on to nearly every item.
They should let only wealthy refugees in then right ?
Exactly, and more importantly this is the most natural and health way to deal with issues of asylum seekers.

Very concerning topic and one the could easily get much worse; aka ship all asylum seekers or for the matter "unwanted" to somewhere willing to take them.
Assuming most of those little structures are inhabited, how does this city sustain itself? The land around it does not appear to be cultivated, and there does not appear to be much of a commercial area. That's a lot of people to feed.
Everybody knows VAT exists, how much it is and that's included in the price. And everybody complains every time it's raised because we see prices going up (sometimes more than they should) and we know there will be a domino effect on everything.
It saddens me that so many smart people work for IT companies like Google and Facebook, while they could make a real difference doing medical or fundamental physics research.
> I don't think it makes sense to let the thief get away with the money either. I know in some sense there is a philosophical problem that the 'code is the contract' and the 'contract is the law' and therefore the code is the law, for better or worse.

You haven't explained how you solve the contradiction.
Yes, it is rare to be outright prohibited. But it will definitely be looked down upon by managers. It is also culturally uncommon. Very few Google engineers are consulting on the side, for example.

It is extremely common for CS professors to consult. And there are absolutely no conflict of interest restrictions. CS professors will consult in their direct area of research.
It is very inefficient to bring people to Germany and other western countries in order to help them. We could help one person in Germany, or another 10 people in Turkey for the same money.

Most people coming to Europe are economic migrantw, not from countries affected by war. Refugees who can not afford $4000 for transport are left without help.

It all started when Turkey asked for humanitarian aid. Merkel would not send money, but open invitation. It is all one big virtue signaling, most people do not really care about some people in Africa or Asia.
But the Big Bang Theory show is Reverse-Anti-intellectualism.
I'm guessing the perceived limit is that NIMBYs feel too uncomfortable to handle more refugees? It doesn't seem like a real limit to me.
>Well produced video is magic.

Most of us don't realise how difficult editing is. There's a camera in our phones, and uploading to Facebook, Youtube or Snapchat has never been easier, so now we're all film makers. It just that almost no one realise how hard their favourite podcast or youtube channel has worked on editing. Or how many times they redone the exact same bit, to get it absolutely perfect, and watchable.

It's easier and faster, to re-read a few sentences, edit the worst bit, re-read and post. There's not really a fast way of editing the worst parts of a video.
> On the other hand, the industries with the most government intervention seem to be doing the worst - finance, health care, higher education.

I find this a very parochial, US-centered statement. Many countries have these industries in greater regulation, and fare well in them. The conclusion I draw from the situation in the US is that its political structure, existing political-industrial relationships and the interests of its politicians are co-responsible for dysfunction in these industries, and not the general idea of government intervention.

As for why we don't see equal innovation outside of the US, I think the availability of human capital adequately explains it.
Are they really refugees though?
The limit is the receiving countries not becoming what they're fleeing from, obviously

If you disagree, my suggestion is that you take in your house as many refugees as the number of people that currently live in it.

> If the receiving country has no room, is broke, and its citizenry are on the edge of starvation, then that's one limit.

Oh of course, let's destroy whole countries otherwise people like you will think they're racist and petty. Genius.
One important point here, whether the letter is genuinely from the attacker or not, is the nice summary, in "showing not telling" fashion, of the issue here: if the "The DAO’s code controls and sets forth all terms of The DAO Creation," and the way to undo/mitigate what happened (forking) undermines trust in Ethereum, then we're between a rock and a hard place. I.e., I'd just like to call out the efficient and compelling rhetoric this letter represents.
Sure and Tibetans are not packed in open air prisons and deprived of any rights whatsoever either.

> Which is a very nice strawman

I'm curious as to what is a strawman in that statement? You are arguing charity should be optional, he said "not being charitable". Where in that sentence is he misrepresenting the position he is claiming is immoral and shortsighted? Is the word solidaric that much of a sticking point?

I've found quite a few arguments against allowing the influx of migrants from the middle east to continue unabated to be at the very least reasonable (I have family in Greece that are seeing it first hand), but none of them start and end with "black and white", with the middle filled with comparisons to ISIS.

If you have something to say about the actual issue, I'd love to hear it.
"Many" as in absolute values like "more than 1,000"? I can believe that.

Or "many" as in relative values like "more than 30%"? I have difficulties believing that. If so, it's amazing how coincidental the timing is between the start of the ongoing civil war in Syria and the start of the refugee crisis.

It's also amazing how the UN "has identified 13.5 million Syrians requiring humanitarian assistance, of which 6.6 million are internally displaced within Syria, and over 4.8 million are refugees outside of Syria." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugees_of_the_Syrian_Civil_W... . Are the ones you mentioned in addition to those numbers?
This is an almost arbitrary distinction. These people are looking for a better life, one without violence but hopefully, yes, also one where they're not stuck in poverty. Maslow's pyramid and all that.
>Most people coming to Europe are economic migrantw, not from countries affected by war

Exactly this. The reasonable thing to do would've been to differentiate refugees from others and proceed to help the refugees because there's no question about that.

Edit: Wait, I take it by the downvotes that you think people should not be screened and that everyone who shows up at the borders is a distressed refugee fleeing war? I am a Third World citizen and I know for a fact that no one thinks of Europe as a dreamland so yeah, you're good, refugees are all you've been/will be getting. /s
I do not wish harm for any innocent people. If they want they can get what we have in their own country, they need to make that possible though, if needed with our help.
(I think there should be more focus on taking care of refugees and the like in the region... or at least more in countries that support their culture)
Only when really necessary we need to take refugees into europe for protection, usually those are political refugees.
We make something good for our children and we -have- to share it with the whole world in our house?
The question isn't whether being rich/poor affects somebody's potential status as a refugee for non-economic reasons (e.g. persecution in their home country), it's whether enconomic reasons alone are enough to justify "refugee" status. Which side you come down on regarding this is subjective, but either way your comment isn't relevant.
There's a big difference between someone doing a lousy, menial, humiliating or dangerous job to survive, and an athlete striving to be even better by taking drugs.
Didn't know that, now it actually makes sense. Thanks.
Why is everybody talking as if the communist experiment wasn't already tried?

If you forcibly remove "freedom" to keep the fruit of your labor, you'll get general misery and poverty. It's false that "things will be done but slowly", the reality is that things will not get done at all, meaning lack of everything and the distribution of misery. For real examples look into any communist country.

>> "Most natural way of dealing with the issue is to allow those legally escaping a country to seek asylum wherever they're able to do so and/or to them feels like the best place to go."

The problem with that is that the first countries they tend to arrive in are poorer European countries that don't have the necessary resources to process them. Allowing them to choose which country they want to go to will end up burdening the richer European countries as they will undoubtedly be the final destination for most migrants.

I disagree with how it's being handled too but I don't think your solution would work.

I think if we had some sort of EU organisation that works in border countries and deals with processing and then distributes migrants fairly throughout the continent it would be best. Processing takes so long though that it's still going to either burden border countries or refugees will be kept in detention centres throughout processing which is unethical in my view.
Whilst the town itself is built in the upper saddle of a hill, the valley itself is fecund and wide, with many farms.

I would assume that most supplies are brought in..
They removed a 15% tip, increased pay from 10 to 15 and prices by 20%, replacing a payment you should do with one that you must do. What could go wrong?
this, plus the transcript is stellar and has syntax highlighting!
I didn't notice in the article any mention of why there is a population limit set for this town.

Is it explicitly a measure taken to limit solidarity in a religious/ethnic minority? Is there a concern about the food supply?
One would need to know what moderately-priced meant.

Three of us went to a Thai restaurant in the Washington suburbs last night. Dinner was $75, and we tipped 20%. Suppose each server had six tables (which I think was about right) and that the turnover is 1.5 hours per table, that's four tips per hour. Our bill might have been on the high side (a beer each, and one more entree than we needed); but it would probably be safe to set $20/person as the low side of the bill, and a table average of 2.25 persons--I saw no solo diners, and a number of tables of four persons. So the hourly turnover during busy hours might be upwards of $180. The slow spells later would be less, though maybe compensated some by more alcohol with the meals. Anyway, with an average tip of 15%, that's $27/hour for the busy hours at least.

So $18/hour seems fairly realistic. $50/hour suggests a turnover of something more like $350/hour, so maybe a $90/table charge. I guess that Washington counts this a moderately priced.

(It could also be that not all of cash tips come to the attention of the IRS; but I don't know how much cash gets put down in that range of restaurant.)
Merit can't be defined generally, varies according to circumstances, and people disagree on what is desirable. When it can be defined, it is usually difficult or impossible to measure. When we attempt to measure it, some people find ways of "gaming the system". And when it is easy to measure accurately, it's often of little practical use.

We have created a society, or rather one has been created for us, in which borderline psychopathic behaviour is rewarded. Many people are beginning to wake up to this. Instead of trying to create a meritocracy, we should decide what sort of society we want and work towards that.
>> "We make something good for our children and we -have- to share it with the whole world in our house?"

You mean you got lucky to be born somewhere that isn't currently at war and now you feel entitled to what you were born into?
I find this whole situation has an interesting parallel to international law. Unlike other kinds of law that are backed by the power of individual states, international law exists in this weird zone where it's kind of law, but kind of also the United States can do whatever they want because they own all the aircraft carriers and what are you going to do about it punk?

That's why it's funny to see Sealand, Hutt River Province, Liberland and other nation-hacking experiments say things like "The Law says this is our nation!". The law is an illusion that exists only in the shade of power, specifically power to provide enforcement. That illusion just doesn't work on the world stage. Any sufficiently powerful actual nation could come and take your island and no other nation would bat an eye. The only reason they don't is because it usually doesn't matter enough to even be worth the bad press.

Ultimately, The illusion of law in Ethereum is implemented on top of the power of the miners involved. The miners can and possibly will eradicate The Attacker's carefully grifted money if it suits their interests. Power trumps law.

This open letter is being written for two reasons: firstly, the power of the miners can be swayed by appealing to their ideals. Secondly, because this whole virtual legal playpen is still subject to real-world laws and, thus, state power.

It's fascinating to see how quickly this smart contract experiment has turned into a struggle between these multiple levels of political power, with really nothing at all to do with the letter of the law as laid out in the contract. Well worth the price of admission, in my opinion.

This is exactly what we are doing, but this requires actual checks, not just a look at a person's face.
Larung Gar is quite clean. Whilst the living conditions are basic, it's certainly not a slum. The surrounding towns definitely have a lower standard of living.

Boo-hoo. I live in Sweden. We have taken in huge numbers of people. I will gladly pay extra in taxes to help them out.

Sweden is also far from becoming like Syria.

If Sweden's policy is the limit, then most of the other EU countries fall far short of the limit you are concerned about.

Uh, regardless of your stance on the specific topic (refugee handling), isn't this simply a tactical mistake?

Let's say the EU is your enemy. They offer you money. Is it tactically smarter to flatly refuse the money (you are poorer, your enemy is marginally richer, nothing has changed) or rather to accept the money and then use it to fight the donor (you are richer, your enemy is marginally poorer and you are effectively turning its resources against itself)?

It feels a lot like cutting your own nose to spite the wife.
It is reasonable to assume that if you enter Germany/Sweden it is not because you are fearing for your life in Austria/Denmark.

That is very much implementation-dependent. BSD tar does not fork, it's provided by and compresses through libarchive, which depends on zlib for gzip support (although it may fallback to forking gzip if not linked against zlib).
Let's hope Google doesn't feed it video games like Battlefield, where it learns how to most effectively kill humans.

It's a funny thing with monks. Quite a few are former businessman who want to try something more spiritual for a change but still are wealthy. I walked a bit with a young monk on the way to Tengboche Monastery and his main interest as we talked seemed to be designer sunglasses and which brand would be good to get.
So, by following your reasoning, a sound-economy country, should receive aliens until such receiving country has no room, is broke, and everybody are on the edge of starvation?
