1) If he's only willing to offer $200 I'd seriously doubt he'd lawyer up. Any rational person would offer the lawyer/time cost first if they were serious to try and avoid it.

2) Could you transfer the name to another holder/company if they apply? According to ICANN " disputes must be resolved by agreement, court action, or arbitration before a registrar will cancel, suspend, or transfer a domain name." If they lodge a complaint sell it to a friend/company structure for $1 and suddenly they are chasing the wrong person. You can tell them you dont own it and to stop harassing you. Rinse, repeat.

3) u/ankitaggarwal had what seemed the good suggestion of registering a trademark in another category.

4) Tell him your price. Consider a new domain/name if price is met.

I'm big into privacy and that actually makes some sense to me. Though I'm a little concerned that if E2E isn't the default, it will be buried in the settings and most users won't ever think to use it.
Just curious, why would one want to open a 10MB (let alone a 1GB) file in a text editor? Isn't that something that could be better (that is, more efficiently) handled by the likes of grep, head, tail, sed or awk? It's like issuing a database query that returns a million rows when a more specific query would have been a better choice because it would result in substantially less data to look at.
I never assumed that.

> 2. then get provably good at it.

Still risky because the company will probably find someone else while you are getting provably good at it. Or they simply may not like you for some other reason.

> Now, if you've been with a company for 2~3+ years, you should be able to figure out what domain specific things will make you non-fungible

A good start, but also you need the company to be able to afford the new rate. Also companies work hard every day to make sure that everyone is as fungible as possible. Playing politics may help make people perceive you as less fungible.

The sort of plan I'd come up with (not an expert though) is try to find a very large company (or an industry) that routinely pays people this compensation to many people and figure out how to get that role.

Google and finance spring to mind.
Last commit 5 months ago. That project looks essentially dead.
Uh, no. Data loss for your end-users as a default behavior is unforgivable. The impetus is on people who think it's OK to irretrievably lose access to their freaking data when their phone battery explodes to set that up. For myself, and for Joe P. Random, losing my data without my having explicitly (and again) decided to take that risk is what directly precedes a decision to no longer use any Google products, full stop.

Africa is home to the tallest (Sudanese) and shortest (pygmy) humans. You can think of the entire non-African population as a little inbred offshoot of the main stock.

I'm surprised so many people here are using Sublime to edit >100 MB files. Yes, it handles them (as long as the lines aren't too long), but it always has to load the entire file before displaying the first line. Aren't there some editors that don't have to do that?

On a related note, large files are often binary. I appreciate that Sublime can display binary files but it's pretty bare bones, and there's no editing support. I'd love to see what Sublime HQ could do if they worked on binary editing support for a couple of milestones. For example, the ability to locate and edit strings in binary files would be cool, as would a basic hex editor.
The answer is going to sound terribly boring, but as someone who frequently deals with very large files of structured text: sometimes you just want to look at your data and quickly jump around. I want direct manipulation, not a data querying/manipulation DSL (whether that's grep, sed, SQL, etc)
I'd say scanline rendering is "more of a hack" than ray tracing, but both can produce useful looking results, of course. They are both crude approximations of reality, but ray tracing is a closer model and it makes non-local phenomena easier to model (especially if you do things in a physically-correct way, respecting the law of conservation of energy etc.) Arguably, you would end up writing a "Universe simulator" if you wanted to accurately model absolutely everything that's happening in the real world :)

By the way, I've written about this exact same topic in my initial ray tracing post:

This is a really good development. Programmers shouldn't have to worry about copyright; in the world of software, it does far more harm than good and should be done away with entirely. But for now we do have to worry about copyright, and the proliferation of "open-source" Github repositories with no explicit license puts us at risk of being sued in the future if our projects are successful. Little nudges like this will help a lot.

From Wikipedia:

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is not a charitable trust or a private foundation but a limited liability company which can be for-profit, spend money on lobbying, make political donations, will not have to disclose its pay to its top five executives and have fewer other transparency requirements, compared to a charitable trust. Under this legal structure, as Forbes wrote it, "Zuckerberg will still control the Facebook shares owned by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative".
Yet false equivalences like this abound. Clinton is not nearly dead. Trump _is_ a classic archtype of narcissist personality disorder. This is reasonably demonstrable.

So, there are standards of evidence, science and expertise, which the peanut gallery in politics has been hacking away at for decades, paid for by rich short-sighted oligarchs, esp for example oil (look at the anti-climate-science lobby).

Bad article, but if Verizon is significantly lying about data usage, well, the FCC is going to crawl so far up their ass it's going to look like that scene from Alien when this is all over.
You should halt if and only if you know you'll never halt.
This is a horrible article.

> "My son, like most young adults, is pretty phone savvy so I was sure he knew what to do."

That sort of statement is never a good sign.

> "Shinn insists her late husband's phone isn't used for anything other than looking at phone numbers of missed calls or dealing with incoming calls. How, she asks, is her late husband's phone using data?"

It's checking an email account or something?

> "When he reaches his data limit each month, he immediately shuts off his data. Yet every month for the last four months, his data exceeded his limit. The totals: 6.00900; GB 6.00200; GB 6.01100 GB; and 6.00400 GB."

The "you're over limit" is probably not sent at the exact femtosecond you go over it?

> "Verizon insists that many customers' problems hinge on the infamous "Wi-Fi Assist" button, Van Dinter said. With iPhones, this is automatically "on" under the iOS9 operating system, which was introduced a year ago."

Verizon's probably right. I saw my data usage go up dramatically with that.

> Why are people's phones using data in the middle of the night when the phones aren't being used and are turned off or are on do-not-disturb?

Because do-not-disturb prevents alerts, not usage, and phones check email etc. 24/7.

> If the times of the data pings aren't necessarily accurate and are really only within a six-hour window, how is it that the phone call time stamps on my bill are accurate to the minute? Verizon says data is tallied and reported in chunks.

Because phone calls aren't data usage.

My experience with melatonin:

If I take the normal dose of >3mg, I'll experience incredible irritability the following day. I become sensitive to sound and anything that isn't entirely perfect. Things make me feel unreasonably furious. This is bad. These days I always microdose melatonin.

If I don't fall asleep with the first tiredness crash that happens 20-30 minutes after taking melatonin, I find myself restless and unable to sleep for another 4 or 5 hours. The more melatonin I take, the more intense the initial crash will be, but the harder it is to sleep if I miss that crash.
It's always refreshing to meet people who never make spelling errors! :) Other than that, try calibrating your monitor!
> It's called "advertising" and it wouldn't keep growing if it didn't work.

For the record, it doesn't. Advertising is a fairly consistent percentage of GDP over decades.

More importantly, "advertising" doesn't automatically make products addicting. Literally every industry does advertising, that doesn't mean people are "addicted" to insurance.

For the record, I agree that junk food is addicting. It's probably the addiction I'm most prone too. But that's not because of advertising, it's because the products themselves are addicting.

In fact, by far the biggest addiction in my life is bread from a local bakery. I don't blame advertising (they hardly do any) and I don't even blame "modern food" (this is whole wheat, unrefined bread). I simply acknowledge that I love bread, it tastes great, and if I'm feeling depressed then I overeat it. My bread consumption depends much more on my internal mood and habits than anything "industry" does.

Likewise, technology is not addicting because it's evil. It's addicting because it's good and pleasurable, and if you don't have a solid hold on your mental health it's easy to fill the void with pleasurable products, whether they be bread, Facebook, or alcohol. The solution isn't to ban/quit the product, it's to address that hole in your life.

This looks about as useful and sophsticated as the MBTI (ie, not very): 'A study on human behavior has revealed that 90% of the population can be classified into four basic personality types: Optimistic, Pessimistic, Trusting and Envious.' I can't see how this contingent typing, apparently done for the purposes of being able to group people to do game theory experiments, can have much external validity, especially as there will be so many edge cases and double- or even triple-class members. This just doesn't look worthwhile, from this article.
An entire article with numerous anecdotes, and they couldn't mention the one simple way to check data usage on the phone? Both Android and iOS let you see exactly which apps used data, although only Android lets you break it down by period; iOS you'll need to "reset" then use it for a while.

Those anecdotes are pretty much worthless without that information.

I'm surprised the Verizon statement didn't mention to check that.
>The "you're over limit" is probably not sent at the exact femtosecond you go over it?

What if the phone is shutting the data off automatically? Like the Data Usage settings on Android?
hello, you are right.
Yea, because it is really all the overworked and underpaid graduate students faults... I have never met a single graduate student who rushed to publish shoddy work on his/her own. However, I have watched time and again while young impressionable graduate students are slowly but surely guided to publish shoddy work by overworked and desperate professors who feel they have no choice but to keep getting "academic currency" (e.g. publications).

Hey, Tim, I've talked a number of times with GitHub about the issue of lack of nuance in their license monikers on GitHub. I haven't gotten very far, but this change will cause me of course to raise it again.

As others have commented, kragen is jumping to excitement a bit too quick. GitHub's license data is not curated, and I'm quite sure determining a license of software is an undecidable problem; it just requires human judgment, and many self-report their own license incorrectly to GitHub.

GitHub has a lot of problems to solve before the license data they are presenting can be trusted. Even many very common programs have licenses that can't even be described with an SPDX moniker, so the "badge method" just isn't going to work.
> HDR tonemapping trying to emulate human vision is mostly bullshit and generally looks awful anyway.

This is just because most of the academic researchers in the field (basically mathematicians/programmers) have horrible aesthetic taste and poor understanding of human vision, not because the concept of local contrast control is inherently bad.

HDR “tonemapping” when well done doesn’t call attention to itself, and you won’t notice it per se.

This is a problem with image processing in general. Researchers are looking for something to demo at SIGGRAPH to non-artists. They want something very obvious and fancy on a few hand-picked images for a 5 minute talk. They aren’t necessarily trying to build general-purpose tools for artists.

Real photographers use all kinds of trickery to control contrast and dynamic range. Ansel Adams tweaked the hell out of his photographs at every stage from capture to print, using pre-exposed negatives, non-standard chemistry timings, contrast-adjusting masks sandwiched with negatives, tons of dodging and burning, etc.
Probably more accurate to say the risks for good behavior. Basically, playing fair and losing is a huge cost.
Criticizing someones religions is hate speech.
So the solution is Unix or (God help us) Win32 forever? I think the nature of the unix user space is one of the things that could stand improving. How about doing something a bit more structured than piping bytes (ascii? UTF8? Latin1? Some binary format? Who knows!) around? Or making tools that don't run in one-shot mode when that's not how they're used (compilers, etc.)?

This need not throw everything away that we have today. Why not make the equivalent of higher level bindings over a C API for command line programs? Or maybe any of a hundred other options that might improve over what we have now? Is unix really the end stage evolution for user space?
Matt Levine is a great writer and he often brings insights into finance, about what the rules are exactly, and why they are that way (even though they go against our intuitive judgement). I hope that people here would read 'Money Stuff' so we can avoid the inevitable morality bashing whenever a finance article is posted.

The whole point of finance is maximizing profits; I think that people need to understand and accept this for us to have a meaningful discussion.
Well, we do have things like USB, Bluetooth, Intel HD Audio, ACPI, and so forth, all of which are standards. VESA is still good enough to get an unaccelerated framebuffer set up and going. Network adapters are usually at least supported by Linux, so there's some open-source reference implementation somewhere. (NDISwrapper is mostly a thing of the past, thank goodness...)

Accelerated graphics is probably the biggest remaining disaster, honestly. At least with Vulkan/DX12 we might be getting thinner drivers...

I've often found the contrary - they add a lot of noise into the signal. For example, the gify bot encourages people to post response gifs to response gifs, creating pages of nothing but pure crap, making content harder to find than the proverbial needle in a haystack.

I don't need web pages expanded in-place, it pushes content off screen. I don't want CI/Jira/Pagerduty spam constantly dinging for my attention. I don't want random gifs. I don't want YouTube videos expanded and started automatically.

I'm not familiar with what you're referring to, but it's been a while since I read Yeager's first autobiography. I do remember one bit clearly, though.

In the book he tells a story about reconnoitering a dry lake near Edwards in a twin-seat plane with Neil Armstrong. In his story, Armstrong wants to do a touch-and-go landing to test lake's suitability for landing, and Yeager tries to talk him out of it because of concerns about mud. They land and they get stuck. This is all part of a larger, kind of spiteful and jealous narrative of the NACA guys not being as skillful behind the stick as the Air Force pilots even though they may have been better engineers, etc. etc.

Armstrong's version of the story (recounted only briefly in First Man - incredible book btw) makes it sound more like Neil Armstrong was the victim of a practical joke wherein Yeager encouraged him to land even though he knew full well they'd get stuck. It's actually a funnier story, but it doesn't play in with the whole narrative of the NACA pilots being obtuse geeks and so on.

That's pretty much all Armstrong was quoted as saying about Yeager that I'm aware of. Yeager's not universally loved by his fellow test pilots, however. http://www.kalimera.org/nf104/stories/stories_16.html
