Highly agree. I found that learning in sync with looking up its history, on why something was invented or why something is done in a particular way, helped we understand it better as I got more interested in the thing am studying. It may even help find a way to do it better. It gives various perspectives involved in decision making and scientific process. That kind of learning helped me to reach to solutions faster.

Facebook adds a patent license to assert that there are no submarine patents

That there are no submarine patents owned by Facebook. There's no protection against third-party software patents. A true patentleft is not possible. Mutually-assured infringement is still the best possible scenario under the current system.
What I love about Atom and haven't been able to find in Sublime is the terminal-plus[1] plugin. I know about SublimeREPL, but just don't think it's as nice as terminal-plus. Any suggestions?

Implicitly, Netflix is pointing out to the studios that they may be charging more to license their content than what it costs to produce a directly competing property from scratch.

Why, for instance, should I pay as much for a season of X-Files reruns as for the production of an entirely new series of Stranger Things? Why would I pay as much for episodes of The Sopranos, that I have already seen, and have on DVD, instead of another new series of Lillyhammer? I wouldn't, and neither would Netflix. The original content is a reminder to the owners of distribution rights that Netflix is the one who owns the ball, and they're the ones that will be taking it with them if they decide to go home and play alone.

And Netflix originals are getting nominated for Emmy Awards, in competition with AMC and HBO shows. Producing exclusive original content was absolutely the correct play for Netflix at the time they decided to do it, and remains so for the present.
The argument works equally well if you simply wouldn't buy it.

The issue, of course, is whether or not you're correctly estimating whether you would end up buying it if you didn't pirate it. But if you take it as given that you wouldn't buy it, then there's no loss.
There actually has been a few shows on Netflix that had their iconic intro music pulled because they weren't licensed to play the music on a streaming service. Married With Children and Charmed are two I remember.

In Germany Honecker invented the term "real existierender Sozialismus" [0] (actually existing socialism) and except in some extremist circles definitely has a negative meaning today. In my head it is stored next to sentences like "Niemand hat die Absicht eine Mauer zu errichten." ("Nobody has the intention of building a wall").

I am not sure what being American has to do with anything. I am not American either.

I didn't suggest that the OP uses lawyers to resolve everyday trivial disputes. I suggested that given the sums involved, reaching out to low-SLA support channels repeatedly was probably not a good strategy.

I don't attempt to diagnose medical conditions myself, there are people who can do it faster and more accurately. It is perfectly legitimate to reach out for help in areas that you are not familiar with. I am guessing that given this was posted to Reddit in the first instance, the OP is not someone who is familiar with legal issues of this kind.

In this case especially, or any case where you believe you are owed money but the situation is uncertain or there is complexity, it is exceptionally easy to put a foot wrong in a way that prejudices one's case later. For example, admitting knowledge of a T&C that gives the other party the sole discretion in certain kinds of dispute resolution is an example (e.g an "our determination is final" type clause). "Yeah, I saw that term, but surely you can't be serious?".

Lawyers know about these things, and can offer advice about how to proceed, and more importantly how not to proceed.

> Anecdotally, in my experience it's not that the parents are "better" its that the parents have school as an actual priority.

If you were trying to rank parents wouldn't "prioritizes their children's education" be a factor in determining which parent was better? Just because something is a cultural difference doesn't mean we can't say it is better or worse.
Call me crazy, but I think it's pretty obvious that the only solution to homelessness is homes.

Of course that's the compassionate solution, but compassion holds little weight in the libertarian idealist sociopathy of Silicon Valley. But even from a cost perspective housing is the only solution.

You can make homelessness illegal, but then you're just housing the homeless in prisons. If you're going to house people anyway, there are cheaper ways to do it than with a prison.

You can bus the homeless somewhere else, but there's a long history of other places bussing people back to SF. Given the homeless want to be in SF because of climate, opportunities, etc., the average is that they're more likely to end up there.

Unless there's something else I haven't thought of, that really only leaves housing.

Existing programs are intended to get people into a position where they can obtain housing, but these de facto don't work very well, because they attempt to get them other things before housing. Housing before a job works better than a job before housing. Housing before addiction treatment works better than addiction treatment before housing. None of the existing solutions are sustainable as long as the person isn't housed. It's unrealistic to expect someone to hold down a job or kick their addiction while living on the streets. Without housing, no auxiliary solution is sustainable.

So not only is the only solution to homelessness housing, but it's housing first.

The answer is engagement. Vancouver's safe injection site has an amazing record of 1) reducing the transmission of expensive diseases like HIV and Hep, 2) reducing crime (the Vancouver police are 100% behind the site), and getting users into rehab and having them be clean a year later. Basically, it's a public policy win all around--it more than pays for itself in reduced health care and police spending.

A HID-based attack has to spawn a terminal and very quickly inject a set of commands that is very visible but only for a short period of time. Once the attack has been carried out, there is nothing left to see, so this type of attack is less obvious than the social engineering one.

MEMS microphones are tiny. It should be possible to combine data from that and a light sensor, that would make an HID based attack far less likely to be detected. The frequency profiles of keystrokes and someone pushing away an office chair should be fairly easy do discern. You'd want to make it more likely that the attack would occur after someone had left their desk. (Hopefully with the machine unlocked.)

EDIT: Another idea: The USB key uses autorun to pop up what looks like a spammy ad for a PC "cleaner" utility, or something you'd expect on a USB key conference swag item. It's actual purpose is to cover up the shell's window, or to contain the exploit itself.

So shame them for being classist and racist. Public education is a public investment.
Well, considering that median household income for the US is $52k/yr, $500/yr is ~1% increase in household income per person, so a ~1-2% effect per household, which isn't nothing, even if not astounding.

Of course, that's if it were households which earned a median income that received the benefit. Given the correlation between poverty growing up and poverty later in life, it's likely more like a 5% increase per household on the low end of the spectrum, which I would call a fairly strong effect.

I very much doubt it, as it goes against the C culture of micro-optimize each code line as it is written, without any feedback from a profiler because "the coder knows best!".

Since I know C (1992), I have seen quite a few times people write code to go fast as they can and apply compiler optimization tricks for use cases where it hardly matters.

Also many of the issues regarding UB go back to the early ANSI C days, when it was the wild west of C dialects outside UNIX and no vendor wanted to give up on their own extensions.

As for C and C++ compiler writers view on UB:

I think we do education all wrong. 12 years of education should leave you in a position to feed and house yourself. If it can't do that, why bother with it? I say more trade schools, less focus on college prep.

Example:

I bought a house that is essentially right on the line between the wealthy and poor areas in my town. If you go to the Wallmart on the poor side the carts are just left everywhere but the Wegmans on the wealthy side the patrons bother to put them away.

Forking and using your own servers is exactly one of the things about XMPP Moxie hated si much that he created Signal in the first place!

The whole point why Moxie created it is so that everyone is on the same one, to avoid federation issues.

> stributing apps that interface with OWS servers despite their demand that you do not (which is certainly not okay in the EU).

I'm not a lawyer, but:

EU law very specifically allows you to create software interfacing with third party software or services, even if they tell you not to do so, and you can even decompile their software to learn how to do that interfacing (compare §69d UrhG), as long as you don't have to break their ToS doing so. (Which I don't, the only ones possibly breaking the ToS would be the users, and there's also a legal argument that you can't prevent users from modifying the software they use to access your service (see the AdBlockPlus vs. BILD case, LG Hamburg)).
Facebook patents that apply to React will also very likely also apply to Vue or any other virtual DOM library. Using Vue makes you more vulnerable, not less, since you no longer have the protection of the React.js patent grant.

For all those claiming issues with reading text from a screen shot of this page, note that this is more an issue with the original Tesseract library, not this library (which appears to wrap Tesseract compiled through Emscripten). I remember having a similar issue when I used the original Tesseract. The quick hack I found to fix it was to rescale any small text input images 3x first before feeding it to Tesseract. I'm sure there's more intelligent solutions to mitigate that problem.
Is there a good reason this aid is given as a voucher versus giving out money against proof of a rental contract (e.g. how it works in Finland)? Simplified bureaucracy?

Still not sure I understand. All the code in that link is valid TS - TS is just a superset of JS.

This seems to come up every time serverless comes up. There should probably be some better docs around this.

It's true each function needs it's own connection, but in reality:

1) The containers actually stick around for a while and get reused so if you write the code correctly it only has to establish the connection once per container invocation

2) Unless you are doing a lot of traffic you'll probably only realistically have a few containers running your functions so it will only be a few connections.

3) If you end up with enough traffic that it actually becomes a problem, it would have been a problem anyway because you'd be running a lot of servers with persistent connections in a more traditional model.

In other words, the number of connects and set up and tear down is about the same as in a traditional setup, maybe just a little bit more.

Edit: One more thing. Sometimes a counter I hear is "Yeah but every function needs it's own connection". I counter that with the contention that even with a traditional setup, a good abstraction means only one or maybe two functions actually talks to the database -- everyone else should be getting their data from that function. Also if you do it that way that one function can do some smart caching (which survives at least a few minutes with serverless).
IMO the "Section 8" (housing vouchers) seems to be a market solution

In theory that's true, but in practice many U.S. municipalities have restricted the development of any new housing to the point that Section 8 vouchers are impractical due to costs and simple apartment availability (http://www.vox.com/cards/affordable-housing-explained/supply...). Without doing something about NIMBYs and local zoning processes, Section 8 vouchers will not be effective.

Matthew Desmond's book Evicted is pretty good on this point (http://www.amazon.com/Evicted-Poverty-Profit-American-City/d...). I've written or worked on Section 8 proposals, as well HUD 811, 202, HOPE VI, and related programs (see http://seliger.com/2008/07/27/reformers-come-and-go-but-hud-... if you're curious); the people who run them, especially in high-cost cities like LA, SF, NYC, and Seattle are well aware of the problems that local zoning imposes on affordable housing.

The framework is free and open source with MIT-like license. We will share the code base publicly very soon.

On top of it, we plan providing fully-automated deployment on Dalf Cloud and also a tool-set with graphical user interface and features such as team collaboration, code-sync, CI, and CD. The tool-set will also be free-to-use for open source projects.

As for being cloud-based, system works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS and once you install Dalf on your computer, you can work fully offline. Cloud is used for deployment and collaboration between team members.
long live DEC OpenVMS, it's really rare to see an article on hacker news about OpenVMS, but it has happened before. long live DCL, ASTs. i started work in 2000, but was still able to play around with vax and alpha clusters, sometimes if i recall correctly, a mix of vax and alpha nodes in the same cluster. OpenVMS was such a stable operating system, by 2000, most of the good DEC engineers had left already for companies like Microsoft (Dave Cutler, etc), but that legacy code was still quite amazing. long live ZKO and DEC, i learned a lot from that job, great to see this coming, but not sure if it's still relevant these days with all my development on linux. could you imagine running this port on aws, like some customer migrating to the cloud all their legacy infrastructure? that would be such a niche market.
DEC had a tool called VEST which was used to take native VAX binaries and convert them to run on Alpha AXP. It was very cool technology. A fair amount of the system utilities for OpenVMS on AXP were VESTed VAX binaries. I'm pretty sure the EDT editor was one of these.

The VEST technology could possibly be used to convert native VAX binaries to run on X86_64, I don't know for sure how the endian-ness would be dealt with.

> IMO the "Section 8" (housing vouchers) seems to be a market solution to housing issues

Once any kind of government vouchers or subsidies are involved, you don't have a market solution anymore. Market solutions are solutions that the market provides all by itself.

I agree that vouchers are a better solution than public housing or rent control, and probably introduce fewer distortions in the market than those policies, but it is incorrect to call vouchers a market solution.

In particular, voucher programs generally require landlords to work with local housing authorities to accept rent payments, additional inspections, etc. As a result of this, many landlords don't want to accept tenants who use the vouchers.

I wondered why my old Yahoo accounts wouldn't let me in. I didn't sign in once a year.

To be honest, I don't think that's a good policy. A few months ago, I was going to give Yahoo a second chance. I was told "my name, or password was wrong." I spend five minutes finding my info, and in that fife minutes; figured it just wasen't worth it.

Anyways--goodby Yahoo. One day, Google and FB will be right there on the long slide to the bottom.

On the flip side, code from permissively-licensed projects (like LLVM/clang) can be incorporated into free software with GPL-incompatible licenses. I personally consider that gain to be more than worth the risk of proprietary forks.

Also, the licenses of neither GCC nor LLVM apply to programs compiled by either project. I don't think that's what you meant by the copyleft sentiment, but the wording of that bit is weird and it's worth clarifying just in case.
