The word "freedom" doesn't work because it can also imply "do whatever you want". I've heard "free as in libre", but that word may not be clear enough.

That's a near-perfect example of what the GP was referring to with "...instead of catching the low hanging fruit, people counter with bike shedding style questions of 'is it really abuse?'"

And while I get your point about circularity, it pretty much has to be that way. For example, if I threatened to stab a random person with a syringe, that would be abusive. If I threatened to stab my brother with a syringe, that's an inside joke from when we used to play "Battlefield Vietnam" together.

Which is pretty much what the article was getting at when they talked about context mattering more than content.
Is there any reason cloud providers don't offer virtualised Titan X, or GTX 1080?
My old boss had a fancy top of the line Audi with all the trimmings.

One day a fault developed with the seatbelt sensors on the rear seats. He kept getting the warning beeps to fasten the belts when no one was on those seats.

It was still in warranty so he took it get fixed. The dealer pulled his driving logs from the on board computer/data recorder and said his driving was too aggressive and that violated the warranty.

Truth be told his driving was terrible. I accepted a lift home from him once, and only once because his driving scared the bejeesus out of me. But that being said how could that affect the pressure sensors in the rear seats?

It took some solicitors letters to get the dealer to agree to a warranty repair.

I think its inevitable that manufacturers are going to use all this data to stop you claiming under your warranty. "Oh dear you slammed your door too hard one day, I'm afraid that invalidates your warranty". Insurers will demand this data in before giving you a quote. Its also likely that there will come a time when this data will be used to help price your car if you sell it or trade it in. And of course the government will want to use positioning data to automatically issue parking fines.

And this ignores all the obvious security risks that come along with this sort of stuff, for example all those BMW keyless car thefts.
I use IRC over XMPP almost daily, with a transport that connects me to a channel and represents it as multi-user chat, like #maemo%irc.freenode.net@irc.netlab.cz.

The primary reason is that XMPP behaves really nice if the connection is spotty: When I am using IRC in a moving train, I almost never timeout even if the network is not reachable for minutes – and as soon as the client reconnects, I get all the messages from the chatroom.

Great question, and sorry for not being clear. It's not the frequency tuning of a given outer hair cell (OHC) that that changes, it is their response to the sound level (what I meant by dynamic range). OHCs are activated by basilar membrane motion (the basilar membrane mechanically vibrates due to the physical sound). At low sound levels, the basilar membrane itself does not have a large displacement. The theory is that when OHCs depolarize (fire) due to basilar membrane displacement, resulting transduction currents activate motor proteins that change the length of the cell so that it "jumps" to displace the vibrating membrane (basilar membrane) more.

http://i.makeagif.com/media/10-06-2015/yxvqkm.gif

So at low sound levels, OHCs create a sharper displacement (gain) where vibration is maximal on the basilar membrane, which enhances the frequency coding onto auditory nerve fibers (via inner hair cells).

High sound levels displace the basilar membrane more, which can lead to broad patterns of excitement of nerve fibers coding for adjacent frequencies. At these levels, the OHCs do not change length as much, which compresses the membrane movement. The compression helps to maintain sharper acuity at the frequency that is physically present, and less so at adjacent frequencies. The function describing OHC length changes against level of sound is thus nonlinear, with gain at low levels and compression at high levels. This compression is not seen when the organism is dead, when OHCs are damaged, or when OHCs are genetically knocked out.

Ask HN: Is it okay to not sending monthly receipt to users?
There are various SAAS service/analytics/marketing services that we subscribe to and it seems like companies do make decisions differently. For example, we receipt a receipt of $20 from GitHub every month but we don't receive receipt (and there isn't an option to do so) from AdEspresso albeit we receipt marking emails from them all the time. One day we found that we've been quietly subscribing to AdEspresso for months on their $149 plan while not using the product, and in this case according to their TOS, we can't get any refund from it (obviously). Is this common? If I remembered correctly, LinkedIn also didn't send receipt on their monthly subscription a year ago.

Can we agree on the terminology for Application Load Balancer and Elastic Load Balancer?

* ALB: Application Load Balancer

* ELB: Elastic Load Balancer

I have seen Application Elastic Load Balancer/AELB, Classic Load Balancer/CLB, Elastic Load Balancer (Classic)/ELBC, Elastic Load Balancer (Application)/ELBA.

In any event, I think it is great that AWS is bringing WebSockets and HTTP/2 to the forefront of web technology.
Balance of power. You don't want one entity to get too much power. One can also argue that a state can be a better/closer representative of its people than a distant federal government formed out of many other states which may have different needs from this one state.

> I suspect the fact they make so much revenue from advertising has actually blown tepid at the efforts to seek revenue elsewhere

I'm not sure it has -- I think (certainly this is true of the most recent quarter, but I think its a longer term trend) non-advertising revenue is growing at a faster rate (% increase/unit time) than advertising revenue. Its just that the fact that advertising revenue is so much bigger to start with makes the increase in non-advertising revenue seem insignificant in relation to overall revenue.
This is a fun article, and also a useful reminder that although Hacker News tends to mythologize autodidacts, the boring reality is that in disciplines other than programming, the overwhelming majority of them are useless cranks.

> we can't solve the general case any more than a computer can

While almost certainly the case, I'm not sure how we can demonstrate that this is true in principle without begging the question, if we're asking whether human intelligence is computable.

I agree that all we have evidence of is that we can solve specific cases, and that this completely undermines the argument you're critiquing.

This error also occurs more subtly. I had someone tell me that static type checking was basically useless because it couldn't even do something as simple as saying whether a program will halt. Nevermind, if we're demanding this of all programs, that neither can any other method of reasoning we're applying. (And also nevermind, if we're demanding this of an interesting subset of programs, that there are type systems that will tell us exactly that...).
Maybe eventually. But that would require more war, would it not? My point was not that the war in Syria will never end, but that Syria will remain in a state of civil war for some time to come whether or not Hillary goes after Assad.

So the decision is not between war and peace in Syria. It is between one war and another. The alternative you describe might be shorter (or it might not be, depending on how Hillary would execute her plan to go after Assad, among numerous other factors), but it may also be worse in many other respects.

Personal uses of Pi/Arduino:

- Garage opener/security (door sensing / camera & push notificaitons to cellphone) (Pi)

- 2-axis solar tracker with manual control & wind speed sensing (Arduino)

- Home VPN Server (Pi)

- Sump water level monitor (Pi)

- Industrial temperature cable sensing and reporting device for reading from ~140 cables (http://www.advancedgrainmanagement.com/products/temperature-...) (Pi)

So as others have said, if you have the ability to do it you're limited by what you can imagine. If you treat the output in the same way you would any industrial automation you're virtually only limited by what you can imagine you want to do with the device. I've set up a Pi as a home media server (though that's extremely common). I've got a friend using Pi for underground sprinkler control.
Here's the thing: I seriously doubt you actually love your company or your job. Instead, you're comfortable.

You're not challenged and you're flagrantly underpaid in a great tech city. I would guess someone decent with your profile should make 2x what you're making. Think about that. Would you recommend such a job to a friend?

You need to move on. There are lots of companies as good or better as your current one, trust me. Take it one step at a time - start with updating your resume. Hopefully this will get you excited about the next steps.

When you give your notice it will be an amazing feeling. All your self-esteem will come rushing back. Good luck.

The difference between a corporation and a large FOSS project is limited to their goals and probably values. Both are generally subject to a central figurehead or committee who makes all the decisions and chooses how the project will evolve. I can't go propose a change to the Linux kernel unless Linus likes it. I could maintain my own fork, but it would consume nearly all of my free time.

The interviewer is not evaluating your old company. To the extent that the interviewer asks, they are trying to find out about you. The interviewer at WidgetsCo doesn't care at all about the work environment at FlibbetsCo unless he's thinking about interviewing there himself or he's considering poaching some employees. If the interviewer at WidgetsCo asks "why are you leaving Flibbets?", he's actually trying to find out if there's a problem with you.

If you want to speak up at your current employer to resolve issues, I would generally encourage that. There's clear value in being honest with your employer and trying to work out issues (though there can also be risk if you have a really unhealthy relationship with management). Being "honest" with an interviewer about your current company doesn't solve anything. You won't fix problems with your current employer by telling a new company about them. You won't likely discover anything useful about the new company. And they won't likely learn anything useful about you, because it's impossible for them to tell if you're just bitter and spiteful or if you had legitimate problems caused by the company.

I think it stems from the formation of our country. Back when the U.S. first formed the states were very much separate from each other and the federal government had very limited powers. Similar to the relationship of Europe and the E.U. However Over time U.S. citizens started to think of themselves as americans first and their state second.

Think about how european citizens feel about the E.U. Today it would be crazy to ask a country like Germany to just roll over to the demands of the E.U. But I'm sure 200 years from now, if the E.U. is still around, that line will be a lot more blurry. This is essentially the position america is in.

Fun fact: At one point U.S. states each had their own currencies

Arduino (the platform) has been to amateur electronics what BASIC was to home computing in the '80s. It's the platform with a user community and a huge number of example projects, that lets people learn easily with early results and a minimum of time and cost investment.

The toy projects are a journey, not a destination. Compare them to all those people typing in listings for Breakout games in the '80s computer magazines.

It's also a means of doing "IoT" home automation and monitoring without getting locked into someone else's surveillance ecosystem. I have a Raspberry Pi reading my electricity meter, for example.

You can and should sell free software (how would you make a living otherwise), software is basically a service, it's not physical commodity, by working on free software you are essentially sell your own services and do it in the best way possible - i.e. completely transparently. There's is this misconception that Stallman is some sort of Che Guevara of software world, he is not, it has nothing to do with opposition to capitalism or communism.
