Yeah, I don't see how this kind of code is helpful for design (taken from the codepen).

Lets not talk about ethics in the context of copyright. 95 years after the authors death. laws done by lobbyists against any common sense. No cost-benefit analyses. No safe guards against abuse.

A few month ago, a court decided it was legal to send copyright extortion letters to people. The hours after the sentence was done, more letters were immediately sent out with more unverifiable claims, and the court website went down from all the victims asking what the heck the court did.

I current pay a tax (Sweden) for a additional permission of private copying. The idea was that people should be able to do a backup of media they legally own, and be able to transfer media between different places like the car, the home and so on. DRM however prevent this, but the law is still there, allowing something for which technology has made impossible. Worse, the lobbist created a exception so that the permission doesn't even trigger if there is DRM. I am only allowed to copy non-DRM media, but the artist get paid regardless if they publish on DRM media or not.

Is it ethical to demand payment for something for which is then not delivered? Is it ethical to ignore a unethical monopoly? Is it moral to respect unjust laws? Is it moral to break unjust laws?
If you have a sane amount of JS (ie, not loading entire libraries to accomplish an accordion) the performance differences should be negligible.

There's also a economic explanation – the costs of learning about all of the good pre-existing solutions is large.
> the "sandboxing" approach has been exercised for many years now, mostly without success.

My impression is that Javascript has basically been the most successful sandbox ever deployed on a large scale. All vulnerabilities I've seen that escape the sandbox are due to things like Flash.

Does anybody know of any "JS-only" exploits that have happened?
I always wondered what the use-cases for PouchDB are.

It's pretty trivial for providers to blacklist known proxy/VPN endpoints. Netflix started doing it this year. Does HBO not enforce it?
Democracy is when "all the people...involved in making decisions about its affairs, typically by voting". All people vote in Belarus and Russia. Are those democratic countries? 108% of the Crimea population voted to be annexed. Is that democratic? By definition: yes. The people have spoken. But the reality is far removed from the ideology.
It says "legally" right there in the title. I'm assuming this also takes into account EULAs and the like, that would forbid consuming the content while situated in another country.
I thought that Rick and Morty was free on Adult Swim's website? That's where I ended up watching at least the first season (that might have changed).

However, from the same creator, there was Dan Harmon's Community. Season 6 was funded by Yahoo, and they put it up on Yahoo Screen. For free! Great! Except they had big issues with buffering, and region locked the show to America. In the end that whole operation was shut down.
5 Science-Backed Reasons Why You Need More Silence in Your Life
Sure

Got started scratching our own itch basically. Needed time billing software that integrated with Xero for tracking consulting work, was nothing really available at the time. Also hated traditional timesheet/timecard approach, hence the slightly different take on the user interface (twitter-esque time entry)

Built something using Xero's API which was in beta at the time, and then slowly grew off the back of that through friends/colleagues liking the product, word of mouth & channel referrals (Xero had a landing page for their 3rd party integrations).

We also engage closely with the accounting/bookkeeping community, so we get a lot of referrals through accounting providers who need software for their clients that integrates with their back office accounting packages. Repeated the same process with other channel partners (QuickBooks, MYOB, etc.).

It's definitely been a long slog - no hockey stick growth yet.

Would say that sales & promotion is one of our WEAKNESSES to be honest - I'm very much a developer who has fallen into trying to manage this kind of stuff. Always open to ideas, suggestions and feedback :-)
To be honest, I don't particularly like anti-discrimination laws and the like.
Same as LibreWRT or LibreCMC as it was called later (blob-free variant of OpenWRT).
Can be a problem if you don't have a US billing address or if your VPN gets banned, depending on exactly which service's DRM/geo-locking you're trying to circumvent.

And I didn't say it is. Only that it's usually the only way of building a business around GPL software. This is fine for serving some people, but it has a huge blind spot for those who mainly want to write Software and try to live off of it. IMO this is the main reason why Desktop linux never took off - you just don't have enough userland software that's ready for production use in a professional environment - see desktop publishing, audio, video etc. This sort of software is not going to be written as a hobby, it needs full time professional developers and investors who can see the ROI starting at around 1M$.
Demystifying blockchain
You took the words right out of my mouth(fingers). Was just thinking the exact same thing
Good submission, Josh. One of the proposals I had for developing robust, server software & tools was to code them in several languages simultaneously to leverage their differing tooling for catching bugs. Ada/SPARK for static stuff, Rust for dynamic/concurrency, and C for deployment + a crapload of analysis tools. Better to have automated ways of producing one from the other as manual translations often introduce errors.

This tool, particularly use No 2, seems like a nice step in that direction. My original model was to use something like Racket to code in a superset that had features of all those languages in syntax with blocks at bottom with extra annotations that were language-specific. Like types, contracts, etc. Then, one tool per language parses that whole thing, ignores anything not relevant, and straight-up synthesizes code for target language. Could always just plug in more if necessary. I figured it would be easier than semantics-preserving translation of languages not designed for it.

Of course, gotta consider alternative routes as I figured people might not learn Racket, LISP, Nim, or anything else conducive to that. Hence, keeping my eye on components like this.
Of course, not to say you cannot be a victim of consumerist determinism.

The ads I get are terrible because I do not use social media for the ad networks to build a consumer profile like yours.

I am autistic though so may be immune to ads or maybe the ad networks have given up on me and think I am a morbidly obese man? lol
Good point!
I think that HBO is trying to prevent this kind of practice though.
> Exactly how nice does a media company's offerings have to be?

Under capitalism, if the distribution company is not the best provider of their service, then they deserve to be pushed out of the market. So the answer to how good their offering has to be is: Better than the pirates'

But no LEDs.
I think most people who ethically accept piracy would feel different if there weren't amoral, faceless content corporations between them and the actual creators.

It's a convoluted argument to justify piracy as being absolutely wrong when the end result of paying for content is perpetuating a system where someone else decides what you can and can't watch (and then attempts to wring every drop of revenue from you for the privilege).

Implementing Software Timers (1990)
He's not the Devil, he's a Daemon. Which has been used as a mascot of many schools (in the US) as well. But let's suppose we stop using imaginary creatures as mascots, then we should also stop using real ones. GA Tech and other schools use the yellow jacket, a real creature (a wasp) that has killed people.
> What are you referring to? Nothing is presently known about the outcome of the negotiations with the EU

We can estimate likelihoods. Take e.g. Being able to travel and work in the EU. The best case scenario is maintaining the status quo, which we will certainly have to pay for, and seems to be what a lot of people voted explicitly against. (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are all members of Schengen, and so more connected than the UK). Science and research benefit amazingly from the EU - getting more out proportionally than we put in. This also could be renegotiated, but again with a price (both literal and in implementing EU laws/directives, or freedom of movement). Meanwhile, until we know what the end state will be, who is going to want to pay large research grants or jobs to UK institutions and citizens?

Meanwhile half the east coast seems to think that leaving will magically let them fish out of the sea infinitely, and I have no idea why farming thinks it was suppressed rather than subsidised by the EU.
> poor taste to use as a mascot a mythological creature who is reputed to be the source of every single evil, cruel, horrible thing in all of history

Well ... what about Pan and Dionysus ? What about all other cultures in which there is no Devil representation that has a tail and horns ? History is long and the world is more diverse than you seem to realize.
On the subject on accessibility, I just came across this - note the comment from Brad Martin:

http://terrillthompson.com/blog/474
CSS animations are generally on par with JavaScript, except when they're hardware accelerated.

But that's changing once web animations (https://w3c.github.io/web-animations/) hits mainstream anyway - both CSS & JS get access to the same engine.
Teaching programming in high school is already too late.

I was excited when my high school offered a programming class. Until I realized that they were teaching Visual Basic. "Look, you can make the form pretty colors!" By that time, I was programming in C on a FreeBSD system. I exited that class pretty quickly.
This is usually not what is meant by economies of scale.

Very few production lines get cheaper as they get more complex.

But software, more than most products gets cheaper per unit, as you scale the number of units.

I hope you realize that post brexit Britain is not Tokugawa Japan? You will be able to work, study and travel in Europe.

You may have to sign a form or two, or show your passport here and there. But the EU will be happy to give Britons a lot of rights as long as there is reciprocity.

When I was 14 I needed to spend all night in the snow in front of the Austrian embassy in my country to be able to get TRANSIT visa to visit a friend in Switzerland.

Britons will never know what this is like. Even in the worst and most hostile brexit. So stop whining that you are somehow deprived of opportunities.
> an array of dozens of unwieldly floating wind turbines

What wind turbines? The article is about actual farms on barges/floating platforms, not about windfarms. Sure you'd need a bunch of tugs to move them around and there's the question of power and whether you'd leave the cattle on during moving, but there's no seabed mooring involved or anything like that.
People keep saying CC, but that license has never been intended for software. Did it ever stand up to a trial in court for this usecase? See also [1]. Why isn't there something like CC NC geared for software?

That's not legal and violates their license, so if you're okay with that then just pirating the show would be simpler.

I would refine this to say that teaching is not sufficiently respected as a profession. A large part of this is the low pay. Another part is the top-heavy bureaucracy, and that we take our best teachers and push them out of teaching because administrators are the only ones making decent money.

Other posters have pointed out that there's plenty of spending in schools, but it is in frivolous activities on the periphery of education. They did not mention facilities, which I believe is another huge point of financial irresponsibility when it comes to how municipalities fund their schools. Any town pointing to a dilapidated school as proof of need for a new one is among the least likely to be a good steward of that school, given that it is deferred improvements and maintenance, not age, that really causes problems (to a point, of course). Worse yet, they move these schools to huge complexes on the edge of town so that no one can reach it without a car or bus. Then they get to spend more good school money on buses.
There are ways to filter the replication.
18 Months of Elixir in Production at Bleacher Report – Webinar 21 July
Evidently you know something the rest of us don't about how easy it will be to get work visas. Will the 52% who voted largely on immigration accept freedom of labour and movement? And if not, and we had, say, a points-based system for everybody, why would other countries want to be generous?

Why?
I'd suggest the current frenzy surrounding Brexit means that many news outlets are looking for articles to write about it, regardless of whether they're insightful or not. Hopefully things will calm down after Article 50 is invoked and the financial markets stabilise.
Why a Single Customer View Is Essential for Modern Marketing
Free Cloud-Based Employee Monitoring Solutions
It's incredible how efficient the market is these days. Great article.
I think a key factor for our success was in being a small team, using a modern technology stack, and building in an agile way. I think the article overemphasizes the youth of the team. While many of us were quite young, our team included individuals in their 40s and 50s. I think the skew towards youth is more a byproduct of the risk profile of the project, and the need for us to spend significant time in Baltimore/DC.
That sentence is closer to a link than actual content.

If you look at paper (14), it has the following graph: http://imgur.com/a/oxSqp
It shows that the null model is perfectly appropriate for individual voxels under the event-related paradigms. The FWER there is indistinguishable from 5%, as it should be if the null were true.

It also shows that FWER for the null model is inflated by ~6x for blocked paradigms. As they say in the new paper, it is unclear if that would re-occur in a multi-subject experiment (that was apparently a criticism of the first paper).

Based on this, the absolute worst you can say is "the data on blocked paradigms is not very interesting", but that leaves their event-related data completely intact.

As for the stats thing, the actual formal itself test is obvious fine--it's a t-test! They're saying that the pipeline that runs between the raw DICOM output of the scanner and the t-test, which is an equally important part of the testing procedure, is flawed.

I'm happy to keep discussing this with you, but we seem to be going in circles. If "additional auxiliary assumptions" are the problem here, please describe them. If you think the 2012 NeuroImage paper proves that their null model is wrong in all cases, I'd love to read a few sentences describing how that follows.
Your name from WoW?

Here in Italy Netflix there are a lot of english subtitles available—except when they are really needed: I watched Misfits in english without subtitles and it took a lot to start to understand what they say.
Again, and as a parent of a daughter, we'll just have to continue to agree to disagree.
If there were more effective market competition, the answer would be "another private legal entity". Which would be optimal. Unfortunately due to regulatory capture (at least here in the US) the only real pressure to innovate at modern speeds* is piracy.

* Two words: Cable boxes. In 2016. (And as someone who worked on back end cable apps briefly, it's not like better alternatives don't exist. The service providers just don't care enough to make them better)
I cannot find a way to "undo LGTM" if I was to quick to give approval. Working at a company where I have to LGTM commits literally every day, believe me that it is necessary every now and then.
> Ah! Also, nobody cares about unobtrusive JavaScript anymore.

I do. I also care about graceful degradation. There are certain times (e.g. Web Apps like Gmail) where graceful degradation is almost impossible and unobtrusive JavaScript would be silly but those are the exception. Most sites on the web are just content and there's no reason to have excessive JavaScript or any reason why the page can't be perfectly functional without it.
I wish we would cancel it here in the UK too. It's so pointless. Just stay on BST, or at least go back to GMT and leave it there. I find it really difficult to shift my sleeping pattern and it disrupts me for at least a week every time.

"best viewed in Chrome" is getting annoyingly common.
But piracy doesn't function within capitalism; it breaks the rules of the system.

That's rather like saying that if your democratically elected officials is not doing things that are in your best interest, they deserve to be pushed out by a man with a gun.
We already have an excess of manure. In extreme cases it reaches rivers/oceans and causes algal blooms.
SO, a weekly timetable. I suspected as much.
I've never had a problem with Netflix in Germany. All the productions I've watched so far have had the original language (usually English) available, no burned-in subs. Exception would be transcriptions of on-screen text (like the text messages in Sherlock), but that's because they don't provide separate video tracks for English and German. I'm okay with that.

Of course Netflix doesn't have the new HBO shows - but that's a different issue.
You know a lot of other retailers are starting to build out networks to accomplish the same thing? Wayfair, for example, has an extremely extensive Free 2-Day shipping program (and you don't even need to pay a fee for it).
Agreed. I read Jeff Sutherland's Scrum book in about a week, but don't care for a paper certification. Most certificate companies (I'm looking at you CompTia and LPI) just care about selling their worthless paper certificates.
