Thank you white man with your white man argument. The 'stop whining' argument is such an over-privileged tactic that adds nothing to the discussion. It's very similar to #alllivesmatter.

Anyway, to try to add something more, I have an anecdote: Two weeks ago, a car ran the red light and a speeding white SUV had to swerve out of the way to avoid it. The SUV lost control and smashed into the lightpole that was directly in front of me. I held up my backpack as a shield against the woman and baby in the stroller next to me walking in the opposite direction while bits of the car flew into the air. Luckily the pole held up. I had to make a guess about what was going to hit me. Debris or the car. My brain did that emergency lizard brain thinking that happens in situations like that. I found it really interesting for my brain to puzzle out what was going on in my head. Turned out that the debris was the only 'preventable' injury possible. I couldn't have gotten out of the way. I couldn't have gotten the lady and her baby out of the way. But I could conceivably stop debris from hitting us full on by shielding. If that was a cyclist... the most I'd have to worry about is a couple months of a really sore back.

I agree, the UI is not great and it's quite slow. It often uploads the same files again and creates multiple versions, with no way to delete older versions of files at a folder or device level. The skewed non-linear pricing is also heavily biased toward those who use less but like the 1TB option, with the next tier below being a paltry 30GB.
Also, it appears that you group compact cars and SUVs together. So do I, and for the same reason, I also put bicycles into the same group. We both agree that vehicles with very different masses can be grouped together, but we apparently disagree about where to draw the line. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it could be based on our experiences. I haven't biked or driven routinely for many years, and never on streets with enough traffic to encounter many incidents or significant risks. I certainly don't agree with or even understand your comment about being forced into the gutter, but it sounds like a misrepresentation of my views.
> It's clear to me that the EU doesn't truly care about user privacy. They just have an irrational bug up their ass when it comes to American tech companies.

I don't think it cares about anything. It's just a huge bureaucracy machine. So huge, that even if all participating agents would be rational (which we are so far away from), just a simple communication lag between people (all organizations in different countries, governments and subdivisions) would make it hard to reach any rational consensus.
I'll add one more - analytics. It's the only way to get accurate impression numbers. Which is a useful thing to trend for brand keywords.
Well, it's not clear if they actually checked if he really had such neighbor.
My experience with Google ads was that it is very easy to accidentally get them to display your ad in this way, without you knowing it.

You choose a list of terms you want to show your ad in, but by default Google will also put your ad up in "related" searches. If your company or product is already popular enough, it's likely to end up in the related searches for the terms you chose.

This cost me quite a bit of money before I found out I was wasting money on these ads by accident.
My biggest source of frustration is fat loss vs. strength/muscle gain.

I started strength training a year ago. Didn't really get serious about it until march of this year. I'm 50+ and had to devote several months to work on flexibility and what I call "injury proofing" myself. This meant mostly working with machines to slowly get things ready for free weights. In March I quit machines and switched 100% to free weights under the Rippetoe program.

I've seen visible improvements in shape, for example, my t-shirs are now tighter around my biceps. And, yes, I am significantly stronger than a year ago. What's the problem, then?

Well, I probably have 30 lbs of fat, with a good chunk of it around my belly, that just makes me miserable. My lifting coach tells me I need to accept it and eat more. I hate it and want my "you look pregnant" fat belly gone. Not sure what to do other than to stop lifting and going on a low calore diet. I am afraid I would lose all the gains of the last year of work. I am approaching a 300 lbs deadlift at this point.

When I go to a regular gym I am often stronger than most guys there. I am grabbing hundred+ pound dumbells when everyone else is working with 75-pounders. Yet, I am the one who looks fat. It's frustrating.

That's fascinating. In Holland we use a similar rule of thumb, but in Km/h, which is significantly less of a speed increase. Fascinating how the choice of unit of measurement affects behavior like this.

Going 8-20 Km/h too fast (the US equivalent) would definitely not be okay here. It happens, but if the police notices you're likely to get a ticket.
A Brief Computational Analysis of “Pen-Pineapple Apple-Pen”
I've always been fascinated with metabolic diseases/syndromes like diabetes. It seems to be a symptom of the first world, i.e. affluenza, but there's this weird sort of trade-off where it can manifest itself (type-2 specifically) and become aggressive at a moment's notice.

Clearly there is a strong genetic component, but possibly a strong environmental component as well. I think the markers we have right now (A1C and blood glucose levels) are insufficient in understanding the underlying mechanism of action for the disease.

What's even more interesting to me is the relationship between endogenous growth hormone and insulin receptors. The relationship between IGF-1 and insulin in particular is very interesting - IGF-1 binds to insulin receptors.

I hope that as we continue to advance in cybernetics and genomics (artificial organs are the first step to machine/human hybrids), we will gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the common ailments in our society.

Syncthing is great if your goal is to synchronize files between different machines. However, if you want to share files/folders with people who do not have a strong tech background it's not really an option.
All US patent law is federal, as authority over copyright and patents is one of the things explicitly granted to Congress in the Constitution [1]; the District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, the one that tried this case, is a federal court [2]. The Federal Circuit's jurisdiction over patent cases comes from federal law, specifically 28 USC § 1295 [3], so altering it would 'just' be a matter of amending that.

> If you believe that patents, in general, are more good than bad, because they coax trade secrets out into the open after an amount of time, then they are just as valid for inventive software as for i inventive hardware/chemistry/biology/mechanics.

There are important ways that software is different.

One is that software is inherently abstract. If you're making a battery or a machine or a drug, it matters what materials you use, what the temperature is at different points, how long the product lasts, how much it costs per unit to manufacture, etc. In software there is none of that. But without any of those constraints the inherent result is unreasonably broad patents.

This combines on the other end with the fact that software has effectively zero reproduction cost, so there is trivial cost for adding support for things. Which means combinatorial explosion. "You asked for a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding a banana and the entire jungle." If you're making batteries and you use A, B and C then it doesn't affect you if someone else has a patent on the combination of D, E and F. If you're making software there is no unit cost to adding support for everything from A to Z, so you do. But then it doesn't matter which combination of things someone patents, you end up unwittingly infringing it because you support everything and the patent covers some subset of everything.

The result is unworkable. The system can't function when everything infringes everything.

If not in a beta, where would you expect these issues to be revealed?

I am guessing that Dropbox has roughly 4 stages of "releasing":

1. Something for devs working on this feature get to see it in action. I would guess this means a few hundred people see this release.

2. A release for dropbox employees. I would guess a few thousand people see this release, and since they work at Dropbox I would guess that 99.9% of them keep these features enabled.

3. A beta release. This is the first time that we are likely to see anyone who actively disables integration features use the product, and even that is probably minimal.

4. Official release.

You are extremely unlikely to see people disabling features like this in (1) and (2) unless the feature is so broken they can't use it. In fact they probably encourage people not to disable it so they can get more feedback about how the new integration is working. This leaves (3) the beta release as the most likely spot for this type of bug to pop up.

This isn't a non-reversible bug. It doesn't delete your files or do anything that can't be reversed by reverting to an official release of Dropbox or quitting the app, both of which are relatively easy fixes.

It also isn't a bug that is likely to be caught by the majority of Dropbox users. Based on my interactions with people, at least 75% of them keep the OS integrations enabled. Only techies even consider disabling it.

As a result, this seems like exactly the type of bug that I would expect to see in a beta release, and I can't see any real harm in it making it that far.
s/should/could/
You managed to get my point.

A pellet could injure someone and damage an eye. What if a bullet hit the same spot? Those are very different outcomes. Conceivably a pellet could kill someone if was a David vs Goliath one in a million shot. Reckless endangerment takes into account the threat level created by the offender. Why not traffic laws? The threat level sort of tops out when you're a squishy human getting hit by a vehicle. Compact vs SUV don't matter much unless you want to get all Rorschach about the splatter pattern. Dead is dead.
People don't understand that vx32 allows you to implement scheduler in userspace. It's not 1-to-1 mapping between host process and guest process (like NaCL for example).

With vx32 you can have many-guest "processes" in one host process.

This is totally unique.

The other comment says this more briefly, but: it is true that the immune system draws this distinction. Every human cell with a nucleus presents a set of molecules on its surface, and immune system T cells use that to determine whether or not to trigger an immune response (where "immune response" means "kill the cell which presented an unacceptable set of molecules").

Autoimmune diseases occur when immune cells improperly categorize some "self" cells as "non-self" and trigger immune response on them.
Email is great and I can see why they continue to use it, but there is a danger of being blinkered. Saying that GitHub reinvented email because they have comment threads is... almost trolling. Especially when also saying email integrates well with patchwork (presumably written due to the inability of email to handle issue/PR tracking).

Both have strengths and weaknesses.
I agree with you that bikes can be dangerous. I also agree that bikes should obey traffic rules.

That said, I've spent much of my life in cities crowded with bikes and pedestrians and the difference between a bike and a car, pretty much any kind of car, is huge.

There's the weight difference, but also the completely different posture, ability to see around you, ability to stop or even just drop your bike and jump off. Bikes are much easier to steer, as well as smaller in 'surface area' that can hit another person.

I've gone on daily commutes where I'd ride at relatively high speeds right through the tourist-infested center of Amsterdam, and while I'd not do that anymore (wiser and older), accidents were incredibly rare, despite the fact that most tourists don't understand the concept of a 'bike lane'.

In my opinion the average city biker is much more like a pedestrian than like a car driver. Obviously that doesn't mean bikers shouldn't respect the road, but putting bikers in the same category as drivers seems a bit silly to me.

(that said, high-speed cyclists are quite a bit more dangerous. but around here they usually avoid heavy-traffic areas. could be different for the US maybe)
Isnt bidding on trademarked keywords forbidden on google these days?
No. They have their own highly optimized algorithms. They also have their their own distributed data structures.

I am not sure about that 2nd link. Seems like it's just UDFs written in R.
I was considering releasing some music under the CC SA-NC for exactly this purpose. I want people to share it, but I don't want it expoited without permission (which I'd gladly give, I just want to know by who).

To avoid the distribution issue, is it possible to use a CC licence for music downloaded from your website, while using a RR licence when providing to the distributors? (On the same song).

Any reason why the licence can't be dependent on the distribution channel?

To add some anecdotal data, even when our company was at #1 for our main search phrase and when there were fewer PPC competitors, we were still getting more traffic with PPC + organic, rather than leaving it just to the organic listing.
It's like there were 2 different sets of people - those who tend to click on ads and those who tend to click on organic results. And you want both.
That was quite a long time ago. Nowadays, for our main search phrase, there are 4 PPC ads at this time. And Google is now blending ads much better with the organic results, they are barely distinguishable to the untrained eye. Being #1 organic result doesn't bring you that much benefit in that setup, you're actually being #5 overall - barely visible.
This hits home for me as a musician myself. I have often lamented overly prescriptive scores, for example something from Eric Whitacre. Granted, they are often intended for high school choirs where you have an inexperienced director directing inexperienced singers, so the composer is trying to exert some (needed?) quality control over the end product. But a good director, or even better a good singer, doesn't need every single phrase punctuated by a crescendo and decrescendo, for example. It's patronizing.

Similarly, in a given song you may find an ascending line marked/not marked with a decrescendo. What this means is simply "fight the natural tendency to get louder as you approach a higher tessitura." Sometimes this is marked and sometimes it's not. If it's not marked, a bad singer will plow through thoughtlessly (or worse, misinterpret and get even louder as if it were a great big cadence). If it is marked a bad singer might take it too literally.

Experience, critical thinking and good, well-rounded musicianship can help you make these performance decisions. But those skills and qualities are becoming rarer. Not just in the field of music, either.
I don't see how this is possible. With a shared secret, there's no way to authenticate the AP. No auth means no defence against MITM. What am I missing? It might be harder to sniff but it's just a tool away, right?
I still don't get it why they did this. So some of the obvious problems: passwords are saved so I can use the wifi anytime, I can tell the password to others, even if they keep track of users with 30 concurrent customers it doesn't matter if they ask for names.

IMO this is wrong at so many levels.
Alternately, learn from Twitter and start over?
If you own the material, you can choose as many different licenses as you want, for any reason you want. Some distributors may not be happy about this, though.
I really do wonder what it is with Sievers. The handing of udev went into a nosedive after GregKH handed him the maintainership. Yet GregKH seems to trust him completely and Torvalds for some reason trust GregKH.

It really makes me worry about the future of the kernel once Torvalds decides that he has had enough.
Or release a slightly different version over the distribution channels so two distinct works?
One flaw with this advice is that it's difficult, impolite, awkward and unrealistic to stay perfectly silent.

Thanks. Previous jobs is difficult, in recent years I've been working at places who only deal with large defence companies. They don't want to sign a contract for anything smaller than millions and I'm not going to win one of those.

The systems I build tend to be Java at the core (uncool but I like it and it works with the sector), but I do everything from requirements gathering through to operations including UI. Although a minimum of UI is preferable.
I kind of hope YouTube gets mad and tells those distros to eat shit.

Aside from rights management do these "distros" do ANYTHING anymore? And they are too lazy to do any rights management work that YouTube isn't performing semi- or fully-automatically?

YouTube should not allow them to simply be gate keepers.

I really highly suggest you start reading some dashcam forums.

You'll see stories from people who have indisputable surveillance footage of crime, and are told that it's not worth the time it would take to investigate/arrest/prosecute, or that even a clear video of a vehicle and license plate is insufficient evidence if it doesn't also clearly capture an image of the driver (in most jurisdictions, the driver is guilty of infractions, not the vehicle's owner).

Similarly, you can find plenty of stories of thefts which were deemed too low-value (in absolute dollar amount) to be worth police effort despite on-property surveillance clearly showing perpetrators. And the same for other types of crime.

24/7/365 audio and video of every person in the city would not change this. If someone told you it would, that person was lying to you or was misinformed.

Cc its really pretty nuanced you can have tunes you give away for free for people to enjoy but a commercial company would have to license it to use it in their film. I think CC Music is the future, not these crummy middle men services. Think about it, if you band is able to get shows where you have a $4,000 minimum per night off of "giving away" your music then you've won without having to sell a single song.
While we are sharing CC Music have a look at

if your tastes extend to classical. Classical artists have it easier as they can release a sound recording of a particular performance under the CC licence and then release another recording commercially. Leon Fleisher springs to mind.

> Cost to print 5,000 B&W pages on my Brother laser: $25 ($12.50 per 2600-page generic toner).

I found an unused HP P2015dn at a family member's office. It came loaded with an aftermarket cartridge. I also found a new-in-box HP toner. Pages printed with the genuine HP part are much sharper. Maybe some generic cartridges are better than others... ?

The paper doesn't feed from the drawer anymore, but it feeds fine from the fold-down tray. It's got a wired network connection too, which works pretty well, except I can't print auto-duplex (manual-duplex only) over the network unless I'm printing from Chrome's printing dialogue (wth?).

I work with NLP and do not plan to try this tool, though, not because of Java, but because I'm not interested in a summarizer right now.

Our current production back-end doing NLP stuff is written in Java and most third party libraries it uses are also written in Java. It was initially written in Python, but at one point we realized that most libraries we use are in Java and Python is just moving data between them. The choice of these Java libraries wasn't driven by any love towards Java either. By the time they were just a fair bit more advanced both in feature set and performance than their Python counterparts. One example is Stanford Parser and CoreNLP toolkit--up until Parsey McParseface it was the most accurate parser, and CoreNLP toolkit had more features (that interested us) than Python's NLTK.

Is Gerrit really that terrible? I do agree that clicking through each file is a waste, but I love the ability to work on several different reviews and keep track of their different build statuses.

Also, where I use it we have different levels of requirements for different branches (more people usually need to approve reviews on soon-to-be-released point branches). We use it for a large project in MLOCs but relatively few developers (less than a hundred). I can't see it would work for 4000 devs at all, though.
