I believe the problem comes when finance does unethical things to maximise profits.

Outside of finance for example, I'm fine with everyone trying to get the highest salary they can. But if you do it by telling lies about your colleagues then you don't deserve it. You earn a payrise by adding value to the production line, not by elbowing people out of the way so you take more than your fair share.

This applies to finance. If you're adding value to the system, you deserve your millions. If you're just exploiting loopholes and golf-buddy connections to move money into your bank account, then you deserve all the vitriol that comes your way.

The tool they use explains why they don't just scrape the entire repo. Basically it's because software licences are legally binding and it's not a good idea to put your license at the bottom of an FAQ in your readme. Licensing needs to be clearly deliberate.
Um. Curiously, that first example didn't work for me. Figures 1 & 2, under "Light emission vs perceptual brightness" are compared thus: "On which image does the gradiation appear more even? It’s the second one!"

Except that for me it isn't. The first one, graded by emission rather than perception, appears more evenly graded to me. There is no setting I can find using the Apple calibration tool (even in expert mode) that does anything but strengthen this perception.

This raises only questions. Is this discrepancy caused by my Apple Thunderbolt Display? By my mild myopia? The natural lighting? My high-protein diet? The jazz on the stereo? The NSA? Or do I really have a different perception of light intensity?

And is anyone else getting the same?

Note: I have always had trouble with gamma correction during game setup; there has never been a setting I liked. Typically there'll be a request to adjust gamma until a character disappears, but however I fiddle things it never does.

> I'm not sure I want another UNIX implementation.

Yeah, they just keep repeating what was already done and without much research besides adding mainframe features.

As Rob Pike puts it:

"We really are using a 1970s era operating system well past its sell-by date. We get a lot done, and we have fun, but let's face it, the fundamental design of Unix is older than many of the readers of Slashdot, while lots of different, great ideas about computing and networks have been developed in the last 30 years. Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy."

from https://interviews.slashdot.org/story/04/10/18/1153211/rob-p...

What we really need are OSes that take the ideas from human-computer interaction from Xerox PARC and Viewpoints Research Institute and take them further into mainstream, using safe languages in the process.
This is an unfair and anti-scientific characterization of descriptive research.

Correlation does not imply causation, but you (generally) can't have causation without correlation. Finding natural patterns of associations in data is our only reasonable starting point for finding patterns of causation.

Also, developing reliable and well-researched ontologies can help other researchers when building models, making sense of other data, etc.
> and the "average" girl has NO insider information

Exactly. Before the baby was born, I took a (men only) course on fatherhood. It was both very funny as well as informational. Afterwards, I knew a lot more than my girlfriend. This helped me because I found out some women can get quite possessive (for lack of a better term). She'd still blurt out "I know best because I'm the mother", but I definitely wasn't ignorant anymore.
Sounds like my use case for Flickr differs a lot from the ones mentioned here. I don't store everything there (Over a terabyte of raw photos etc is not worth publishing;-), only photos I want to publish as an enthusiast photographer and see other photographers photos + talk about them. For that Flickr still trumps over 500px, Facebook* and any other service I've seen. Would've probably quit photography as a hobby multiple times without Flickr.

* Facebook is where other people are and there are some good groups but for really following other photographers it sucks + FB molesting JPEGs is just horrible.

I think that developers _should_ think about how they licence their software. Software licences are a cornerstone of the free software movement, and people should really consider what they believe people should have the right to do with their code.
It's part of a larger series of wise advice that seems to be appreciated nowadays. It goes like this:

* don't call yourself a programmer, you are a revenue-enhancing solution provider

* especially don't call yourself an X programmer, you will use whatever tool is necessary to complete the project and provide value

* don't look for a job, this shows that you're weak. Let the jobs come to you.

* keep yourself current with the latest frameworks and languages to prove that you can adapt to new challenges

* having at least one but ideally more open source projects on github proves that you have passion

* make sure you're a culture fit. Do go to the company parking lot beforehand to see what others wear.

* wear nice clothes, brush your teeth and eat your veggies

* <insert your own here>

After doing all of this you will probably succeed in avoiding having your job outsourced or having that promotion given to someone that's an even bigger bulshitter than you. Congratulations! Now you only need to have some minor plastic surgery done and learn a few recent cultural references in order to not make your colleagues uncomfortable.

You are well on your way to become the perfect solution provider citizen!
Aspirin lost its trademark status in the major Allied nations during WW2 when their assets were confiscated.
The article's description of the research is unhelpful, and almost certainly wrong. This doesn't sound like an attempt to identify four basic personality types. It's an attempt to categorise behaviour in a single, very precisely defined economic experiment. We already know the five basic dimensions of personality: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism (OCEAN).

It's sad that there is so much good social/psychological science out there, but people know so little about it and fall for this kind of ignorant reporting.
I agree with you in that. They look functional and utilitarian. The icons have dark, bold colors. The 3D depth is clear and meaningful. There is no platform-wide 'theme' that makes the icons similar to each other, instead allowing the symbol to speak its intention more loudly, and designers to create their own vocabulary within the app. Instead, most icons are outlined in black, making them clear and easily distinguishable.

> The title could be rephrased as "Cheap guys risk the lives of thousands of people by promising savings of a few bucks".

You say "Cheap guys".. A growing number of people cannot afford an EpiPen. What are they supposed to do? Just die when they have a reaction?

I agree that this solution is not ideal and is probably prone to error or failure. For a lot of people who no longer have the means to purchase an EpiPen it looks like a solution that could save lives.

> CFS was my brother's diagnosis, until it became lyme.

A family member of mine was diagnosed with CFS and it was like the doctors she talked to were stuck in decade-old views of psychology. It was psychosomatic and as a result there wasn't much help she could get. Never mind that she went from one of the most (hyper-)active, traveling, bubbly people to being stuck in a wheelchair and sleeping much of the time; because it was in her head these very real effects somehow... weren't real enough.

The first and most obvious issue, in my view, is that even if CFS is 'just between your ears', then that's still no less real of an issue and it is not helped by dismissal.

The second issue that I hadn't really considered until your comment, and one that might be even more serious, is that this dismissal might actually prevent specialists from proper diagnosis.

After a decade (or maybe even two, I don't even remember anymore) of low-energy existence, living on a pittance, having only the luck that many of her old students and friends kept taking care of her, after all that she went to some clinic somewhere in Asia (Singapore, I think) and while I'm not sure what the diagnosis was, it was apparently something relatively known (something related to vaccines she had before visiting Vietnam), treatable, and she was back to her old self in no time (a decade-or-so older, though).

I'm wondering if more effort might have been made, and a solution found much sooner, had it not been so easy to dismiss her issues as 'psychosomatic'.
Thank you. The key point of Genesis is: be fruitful, multiply, and allow your descendants to enjoy the blessings of God. Getting involved in quibbles about the status of other species is exactly the anti-pattern of how to not to get a good outcome from interpreting a sacred text.
I'm gonna guess it's temporary; I get the impression GitHub likes to test its changes before it releases them (I've been seeing the announced license indicator for several days), and that probably goes extra for logged-out users.
It's not that contradictory. As long as the market for stock pickers overcharges, people can be good at it and a bad deal at the same time.
So I tried out Maya and I just gotta say, great stuff! You ask for the bare minimum stuff, deduce the rest yourself, let the user play around with the numbers and give them an instant quote. Insurance is something a lot of people find intimidating and hard to approach as customers, and you have made it as simple as possible, explaining each item in an easy-to-understand way, letting the user know exactly what they signing up for, how much they are paying, and what they are getting.

Impressive! Good luck to you guys.

if you are in an I/O bound situation, then yes, concurrency will allow you to exploit some parallelism.

Otherwise, no.

It is very easy to jam one of the colours, you have to be very careful about retraction distances because if you retract to far the other colour can leak into the cold end part and solidify and then you only have one colour working.

Sounds very similar to what people have to go through for other chronic disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The "it's in your head" bit has to be the most aggravating thing to hear, I know what it feels like.

Add to this the rampant prescription of antibiotics and antidepressants, just to push the actual problem under the rug. It's very infuriating.
It's a good idea to make this more visible, but they should also make it visible when a repository does not have a license. If they did the UI right this would encourage developers to license their code in the same way that Facebook encourages users to add a profile picture.
Monopsonies pressing down costs by exerting their sole-buyer power causes deadweight losses (compared to the free-market clearing price). Really the question is whether or not the redistribution from health care providers to the general population is worthwhile -- and if it is, you have to compare the monopsony against levying a specific tax to accomplish the same goal.
For CPU bound code, concurrency is pure overhead.

For I/O bound code, concurrency can give you some benefit.

...but in general, people do not analyse this before throwing tasks at a problem.

Just because you can pirate a version of a game, does that make it free? How about tv or music? Obviously not.

Well, same goes for ST3. Just because it doesn't have agressive DRM and lockouts doesn't make it any more free.
And desktop applets. KDE 4 is the only environment I ever used where these were stable and reliable.
Great project. Locomotion and vision are pretty advanced compared to grasping and complex handling of objects. If we could have a workable arm, it would be much more interesting in applications.

> they get to charge as much as they dare.

They get to charge as much as the market will bare.
You're getting too tied up into the specifics. I don't think you need to believe that the price of an Epipen should be $30 to see the point about price gouging.

If you really wanted a better estimate of costs, you should look at costs around wages, etc... as you indicate, as well as the cost reduction that comes from improved manufacturing processes.

The central issue though is not about the specific price, it's about looking at the point when profit evolves into price gouging. It's not something that can be quantified precisely, but it's fairly clear that we're far from an 'optimised' price for this product, and we'll probably only get to that price with effective competition.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. The only way I could get Photoshop to resize correctly was to convert the image to 32-bit first, do the resizing, then convert back to 8/16-bit (there might other simpler ways, though, but this is guaranteed to work). The image description actually describes this process.
Oh, spectacular. This will go swimmingly!

You know, when I was in high school, we had an all volunteer group of hall monitors, and it was this pointless excursion in self-policing that resulted in frustration on all sides, because both the monitors and the deviants were equally incompetent, and unprofessional.

Only the dumbest volunteered, and only the dumbest got caught. Meanwhile, parking lot shenanigans surged, even though people were still exchanging blowjobs in the elevators in the two-floor wings (yes, even on camera).

So, hallway fights declined, but fights were the only metric that saw progress, and people fought behind the school, in the parking lots, and in the sports fields instead, but at least they weren't fighting in the hallways anymore.

Youtube, meanwhile, doesn't have a single critical metric. Their goal is quality of community. You can't let everybody into your community indiscriminately, and expect to have a high quality community. Selective partitioning and curration of membership creates quality of company; choose your friends wisely. This is why gifted-and-talented programs are so controversial.

Youtube can't simultaneously appeal to the lowest common denominator AND enjoy openly elitist patronage, which is by definition exclusive.

P.S.

In the end, my school district accepted defeat, and paid for professional security guards. The school was unruly enough to warrant the extra line item in the budget, and initially people complained that the students were being alienated, as if they were criminals, to which the stark reply was: Some of them ARE criminals, and here're the arrest records and police blotter to prove it!

not true - the public blockchain means that cracking the encryption is only a very small part of such problem. You also need to convince all the other peers that you cracked it first

Because Bitcoin IS cracking encryption - bitcoins are assigned by doing exactly that.

In Bitcoin, a private key is usually a 256-bit number (giving a key length of at least 512 bits)

On the other hand, I'm sure all the MTgox customers will be happy with your assertion that their $450 million of missing/stolen funds allegedly stolen straight out of the MtGox hot wallet over time, beginning in late 2011. are actually still safe. Not sure they'll agree however.
