> "hey, let's shut down the entire country during August"

Puerto Rico does this with all schools & daycare. From the middle of July to the middle of August almost everywhere is closed. If you don't have family on the island and have younger children, you're screwed. Daycare is expensive (relative to cost of living) in Puerto Rico, and independent childcare is even more so. Sitters are also difficult to find due to cultural reasons.
I had the Herman Miller Aeron chair for a decade, and I recently upgraded to the Embody from them. It's leagues better in the ergonomic department. So comfortable, and no back issues sitting for extremely long periods of time.

I use an ergodox infinity, the main things I like about it are the columnar layout (q->a->z are in a straight line), and I can use it at varying widths and angles. I mostly use it at about shoulder width, angled slightly outwards. I still use QWERTY but it's not been a problem.

Fwiw, I was disabled for 8 years with RSI, and the best keyboard I've found, for me, is the Apple one displayed in this article. It has the lightest touch of any keyboard I've used except for actual touchpad style ergonomic keyboards, which can be worse, since they can be difficult to use and require static pressure - like the keyboard of the screen of a tablet. Not to mention being unobtainable.
Going off of that, it'd be really cool to have a wiki for movie transcripts that covers multiple languages. I just searched real quick for a wiki for transcripts and found transcripts.wikia [0] but it doesn't seem to have transcripts translated in other languages. Would such a wiki for transcripts be legal anyway ?

Both Dokku and Deis focus on stateless webapps.

Dokku is explicitly single-host. Flynn can run in a single-host configuration but typically deployed in a highly available configuration with three or more hosts.

Flynn is designed to tackle some much bigger problems and supports running and managing highly available databases inside the platform out of the box in addition to stateless web apps.

"I wanted to buy copy a famous painting from the museum for the market price but they did not agree to sell it to me because they don't ship to my state. So I drove there and took it when nobody was watching. How is that not a theft?"

That's pretty much what it boils down to.
Right their needs don't really justify a custom 2FA at all. Security through obscurity isn't all that much of an advantage and bundling the trade approvals and 2FA into the same app is maybe nicer for some users, but technically unnecessary. If anything it just scans as Valve's traditional NIH syndrome being exhibited here.
The crux of the issue is whether intellectual creations are "property" or not.

For people that believe something written can be property, then theft is an appropriate word (theft
: the act or crime of stealing).

If, OTOH, you believe intellectual creations should not be treated like physical property, then theft is not the correct word.

Definitely not clear-cut.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theft

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property#The_term...

"Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman argues that, although the term intellectual property is in wide use, it should be rejected altogether, because it "systematically distorts and confuses these issues, and its use was and is promoted by those who gain from this confusion". He claims that the term "operates as a catch-all to lump together disparate laws [which] originated separately, evolved differently, cover different activities, have different rules, and raise different public policy issues" and that it creates a "bias" by confusing these monopolies with ownership of limited physical things, likening them to "property rights""

Economists Boldrin and Levine prefer to use the term "intellectual monopoly" as a more appropriate and clear definition of the concept, which they argue, is very dissimilar from property rights

You are right about "d.h." being the German equivalent of "i.e." but I've met a lot of Germans who pronounced it "daher" ("therefore"). I guess that proves a point about avoiding obscure abbreviations when someone else needs to understand what you wrote.

For one thing, there is a reason that "The Professions" were standardized. At one point in history, there was way less regulation for a lot of professions. But then people had problems with insurance companies becoming insolvent and not actually being able to pay all claims when major disasters struck. This was because companies were hiring people that really didn't know how to do the math.

It also seems like it is also more common for actuaries, statisticians, Industrial Engineers to do independent consulting where they are employed as an independent professional and will be required to carry things like insurance. In cases like that, there really isn't any place that acts as "your employer". Instead, you are independently providing your services to a client.
I don't think there is anything wrong with that and I don't think that is what we are discussing here. Maybe I read the parent post wrong, but my argument is against distribution of many copies not just handing the one copy around.

Lifting weights can help, but it can also cause more harm when your routine isn't properly balanced. Doing only bench press and military press lifts for upper body is going to be a chest/tricep push heavy routine.

If you're not balancing these pushes with pulls (chinups, pullups, rows, etc), it can promote issues like rolled shoulders, forward neck, weak traps, weak rhomboids or similar postural issues to those the author is trying to avoid in the first place. In fact, many lifters will add more pulls than pushes, because our day-to-day activities tend to be more push-oriented.

The point is, if you're going to lift, pick a beginner's routine designed by someone who knows what they're doing that has push/pull balance programmed in from the outset. Don't just pick a couple lifts that you enjoy and throw out the rest.
>They literally took a game built on the back of their biggest competitor

What.

DotA is older than League of Legends, Icefrog was even screwed over by Pendragon (Riot Games cofounder) and Pendragon replaced the DotA-Allstars website with a LoL ad. Riot are also known to have taken many ideas from WIP heroes from DotA. If anything, Riot themselves surfed on the popularity of DotA and innovated very lightly.

I'm not saying Valve innovated by picking up Icefrog and making Dota2, but it's laughable to think that it was built on the back of LoL.

Clearly the criticism is that it was very muh harder than it had to be, due to the opinionated nature of Ember, even though it's possible. Eg, things you expect to work just not working, because some hidden convention is being violated, and requiring a bunch of hacks to make it work (making this example up btw, I haven't done any Ember).

I'm not sure I'd conclude that their backend is bizarre, sometimes things cannot be perfectly resource-oriented in a 1:1 fashion with the backend. I know I've needed to expose two different endpoints and frontend models for the same backend model, for good reasons.
> It'd be interesting to read more about the actual numbers involved.

Indeed. It's hard to get actual numbers because Canada is one of the few Western countries that doesn't make public the statistics it collects on who's buying stuff...

> but it turns out that it is a tiny, tiny percentage of housing there

The relevant metric is the percentage of sales, not the percentage of total housing stock. But yes, the situation in New York is nothing like Vancouver; New York has tons of rich locals driving up prices and even a lot of the absenteeish owners in New York really do want an apartment in New York to use for that one week a year they're in town. They may be somewhat price insensitive, but not desperate to buy anything right now to get their money into real estate in New York.
> However, before that happened I was much more interested in what was going on and how unique this level of pain was

your post brought back a memory of mine. i crushed my finger once while doing something mechanical. the bone was crushed into pieces.

it hurt so bad i started laughing. i had to be driven to the hospital because i couldn't even see straight.

that level of pain is something else, for sure. it hurts so bad, but you can detach yourself from it, somehow.
Why you shouldn't work set hours
You would be right if there was a law 'watching infringing material', equivalent to 'receiving stolen goods' - but there is no such law.

I have received a lot of emotive disagreement and conflation of terms but where is the statute or precedent that says downloading is illegal ?

There is none. Sadly or happily depending on ones position.

Yet I don't understand all this disagreement with the facts.

Please if you believe I am wrong it would be quite easy to substantiate the argument by a citation of statute or precedent.

I have looked into this matter quite extensively and there is no such legal prohibition.

>The buyer dropped a hint about using it for illegal purposes, but I don't see how that's any concern of the seller.

My old roommate and I used to use the Memo line on checks to imply that the money exchanged was for "sexual favors" or "drugs" or "illegal weapons" (yes, I'm aware that lots of people do this and we weren't very clever), when it was really one person paying their share of utilities to the other. As far as I know, BofA and PNC never reported us to the feds.
I've also torn three ligaments (complete separation) in my ankle and they hurt more than 1/10th of that every day. Honestly I really don't care about the pain. It bothers people around me much more that I limp severely than it bothers me that I hurt. It's not something I care to think about because when I do then I feel self-pity.
> I'm 35 and I have probably seen an actual contact book only once when I was little.

This just seems weird to me. Contacts books were replaced in a very limited way by PDAs for early adopters, but it wasn't until smartphones and their easy address books that they really started to die off. So post-2008, really.

Were you not in professional settings until your late 20s? Still be surprised if you are both 35 and genuinely unaware of what an address book is.
They don't care, because of how useful the privately-owned and developed hybrids are. Layman such as yourself care more than they do.
Then why are you labelling it with the negative moral qualifier wrong? It may be illegal or considered reprehensible by the society you live in (i.e, someone else may call it wrong), but why would you do it if you consider it wrong?
Point 1: substitute "bigot" for "racist". There's a common but foolish (or self-serving) argument that X can't be racist, because Y isn't a race. A contributing factor is that many people say/write "racist" when they mean "bigot".

The point is that bigotry is no better than racism, so the reader/listener should just substitute the words and see whether the argument still makes sense rather than offering a vacuous counter-argument.

EDIT> French isn't a race, but if I want to round up French people and put them in camps, I'm still a shit-bag.
I think it's pretty fair, CS was already popular (and played in tournaments), DotA was also just a mod for warcraft 3, far from being a real game, just maps you could play on.

I think your point of view is biased by the fact that you do not play dota, or do not like this genre, etc... It was a pretty big revolution in the dota genre.
I'm having trouble seeing the value add here. From the Anandtech article [1] they are using 2x512GB Samsung 950 Pro SSDs which use PCIE v3 x4 with M.2 connectors and a PCIE switch. The drives presumably are using NVME.

The demo claims that without the SSDs they were rendering raw 8k video @17 fps and using the SSDs improved rendering to > 90fps. How can this be such a significant improvement over accessing the same SSDs connected directly to a motherboard? The graphics card would have a PCIE 3.0 x16 connection...plenty of bandwidth and very low latency.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Actually, when you buy a dvd or book, you usually aren't bound by any terms in any booklet acompanying it or printed in the book or whatever. If at all, you are bound by any terms that you agreed to (which in particular would require you to be aware of them and to have had the opportunity to read them and all that). Which in the case of a typical sales contract that's the result of buying something in a shop means that pretty much the only thing you are bound by is your agreement to pay the price that you agreed to. Stuff that you get to read afterwards cannot become part of the contract that you previously agreed to unless you explicitly were to agree to adding those additional terms afterwards. Also, that sales contract is between you and the shop.

So, no, actually, whatever you do with that book or dvd, if you paid the price you agreed to, you almost always can do with it whatever you like, unless it is illegal. But just as using a chainsaw you bought and paid for to murder someone is not a breach of contract, so is not copying a book you bought.

And in any case, a breach of contract is not theft. It's a breach of contract. That's why we have a separate term for it. Just as destruction of property is not theft. It's destruction of property.

Plus, if you download an unauthorized copy somewhere, you most likely don't have a contract with anyone regarding the thing that you are downloading, so you could not possibly be in violation of the terms of that non-existent contract.
Better tooling.

Also they accepted the world has moved on and CUDA accepted C, C++ and Fortran since day 1.

Shortly thereafter they made the PTX Assembly format available and any language could easily target it for GPU execution.

OpenCL got stuck in a world of C with the same runtime compilation model as GLSL.

Only after loosing to CUDA they cave in and created SPIR and the SysCL C++ implementation.

And they have done it again with Vulkan.

While Metal and DX are object based, even the shader languages are C++ like, Vulkan is all about C.

Recently they decided to adopt NVidia's C++ wrapper.

Another Bloomberg View article without a coherent point. It jumps around from an empty hot take on the Yahoo acquisition to pointing and laughing at the USPS. By the last section, it has degraded into an incoherent mass of linkspam to Buzzfeed-quality stories. While I'm sure there are some great SEO reasons for Bloomberg to do it this way, I think we're worse off as readers for it.

No upvote. Levine's work is arguably off-topic, and certainly not the quality I expect on HN.
That's a classic example of Goodhart's law. Regulations call for extremely specific tests to measure crashworthiness, so vehicles are engineered to pass those tests (front-end impact with a specific wall shape at a specific velocity and angle, etc), so they get a "five star crash rating" but at the expense of real-world crash performance.

Fair enough. Maybe it's like an arms race, or a shell game. but you are probably right.
No, that's how you explain things after the fact. If women could bear children until they died, we'd explain it by saying "well that's obviously because it's more advantageous to have more children". Again, something that can equally well explain why something happened and didn't happen doesn't have any explanatory power.

Put it another way, if I asked you "would you think that evolution would select for women bearing children until their 40s, or until they died?", you wouldn't be able to answer, because there's no predictive power in the explanation. Contrast this with "the sun rises every day because the earth revolves around itself", which allows you to predict whether the sun will rise or not tomorrow.
Sure, it's all virtual, you're not actually 'stealing' their money since you weren't actually going to pay for it anyways, but if we're pedantic about it you are depriving them their rights. As the owner, they can copyright it, they can specify the terms by which you're allowed to view it or not view it. They can decide to not let you view it. You are taking that right from them. You are saying your right to access the content is more important than their rights, it's pretty simple.

Sure, it's a big faceless corporation that already has billions of dollars, so it's as offensive. but it's basically the same thing as a GPL violation. Whenever a big corporation steals, err, I mean 'copies,' GPL code and refuses to give the output away, they aren't actually stealing, they were never going to contribute anything anyways...

I very briefly looked into Flynn when evaluating self hosted PaaS offerings and ended up settling on Dokku for now, and there are several features it had that Flynn seemed to lack that were huge wins. Is there any plan to support plugins in a similar way to Dokku? Specifically the volume storage plugin has made deploying some apps that don't play nice with 12f stuff much easier.

The other thing that has come in very handy is being able to deploy Dockerfile builds directly, is this something that Flynn can do as well, or is support planned?
Probably, but the accounting is double entry so there's an asset on the other side of the ledger. The value of each entry goes into determining bottom line.
I understand perfectly what you're trying to say here. As someone who published some papers, wrote a simple book, and write software, I really wished I did not have to participate in this market economy and could build things and give them for free.. That is why I understand the reason for things such as the Universal Basic Income..

However, it is not as the world currently works, unfortunately.

Of course they do, but typing stuff is just physically slower for some operations. Typing git log, then scrolling through the pages of text in order to find the interesting change will always be slower than a right click -> log and then "pointing at things".

I think your conversation metaphor is good, but in a GUI the answer can be richer and interactive. A CLI can only manipulate text, a GUI can manipulate text where necessary and use a better medium (images, graphs, tables) where necessary.
Because all of the protectionism in Canada is in support of local interests: dairy farmers, brewers, etc. Remove the trade barriers, and the crappy ones will die. That's a much bigger deal politically than the win from efficient firms doing better and prices going down.

The federal government just has no real incentive, short of it actually being in the nation's best interest, to force internal free trade. They would have to expend significant political capital to do so.

I've heard from technical leaders at multiple now well established unicorns how they'd never use postgres or switched from postgres simply because MySQL has a lot more tooling built it and many more people are exposed to its shortcomings at "web scale" so that it's very well known where and when things will break.
