Yes, all DRM is easy to bypass right now, but it works as a way to get studios on board with digital distribution. This brings up an interesting point. The main argument against DRM is that it is a slippery slope which will lead to more violations of freedom. But the problem with slippery slope arugments is that they're often unsubstantiated. We often don't know what the long-term effects of something will be.

What if DRM is actually serving the opposite purpose? By appeasing studios with weak protections, it may be preventing stronger digital locks from being developed. It could be that if the FSF and other anti-DRM organizations are effective in removing current standards, the industry will respond by developing something even worse, leading to an ever-stronger DRM arms race.

I'm not saying that I know this will be the result either, just that we don't really know what the effects of defeating standard DRM interfaces will be. The only real solution I can imagine would be to get content distributers not to want DRM, which is a very hard proposition. They have the money and the power, and they won't stop until they get what they want.

Two people around the clock with no provision for vacation or absence is a minimum of 10 people (if you keep all shifts 40h and below.) Add a couple for redundancy, some sort of manager, cleaning staff and a surge of day time staff and you're at 20. You can probably use a few more people, some tradespersons, and security (this is near DC, they have to be thinking about Gov work) and pretty soon 54 is not too crazy.

OVH provides lots of leased servers so you need larger staff than a pure colo. They're also calling this US HQ so add some sales, support and operations staff that would/will be remote at the second US datacenter.

Assuming you own a TV - the purchase of your television was immoral, shameful, and pathetic - you bought into the incredibly poor working conditions of various mines in developing countries, coercive labour in China, and more. And yet you bought it for entertainment. If you don't own a TV, I'm reasonably sure I could pick out something else you've done that involved coerced labour that you didn't need to.

The solution is to get rid of the system which is coercive. It's not to tell everybody who ever wanted to buy a television not to within the context of capitalism.

Interesting. I know there are Very good reasons for not relocating to either Los Angeles or San Francisco, but what were the specific reasons (aside from family/homes, if any) you and the team had for opting not to relocate?

Further to this:

2) Were team members offered raises as part of a relocation package?

3) Were team members offered the opportunity to work 100% remotely?

4) Has OpenTable approved this message?

5) Regardless of #4, are there certain conditions others would need to be aware of such as non-competes? I know NCAs are fairly (if not entirely) powerless in California, but I'm not aware of the laws impacting them in Tennessee.

> So should pornography be illegal in your opinion?

I think that very much like dangerous drugs and cigarette smoking, attacking the demand side of this issue will be more effective than outright prohibition.

> How are drug trial not a form of "rape"? They are not sexual...

... that's how they're not a form of "rape," then.

> Some people absolutely have been getting married to be able to get out of poverty, and in my book this is worse than prostitution in the sense that not only do those people have to have sex with their " client", but they also have to live with them and probably do other work such has cleaning and cooking.

Yes, that's a terrible situation as well, but it has nothing to do with how reprehensible it is to purchase sex from a prostitute.

> At least with prostitution, the contract is clearer, there are negotiated limits on what is provided for the money. I'll argue that if society had less hangups about prostitution, they'd be less of those economical marriages.

I'd argue that if a person--OK, let's call a spade a spade, a man--didn't think that their own personal and sexual gratification was more important than someone else's--OK, another spade a spade, a woman's--bodily autonomy, then there'd be both less prostitution and fewer of those marriages. And less rape, and less domestic violence, and less misery overall. But this involves convincing men to introspect about their own privilege vis-a-vis personal and sexual gratification, so it won't happen.

> If you think that drug trial for money is more acceptable than sex for money, I think you should have a little introspection about your attitude towards sex.

The danger to people participating in drug trials is far, far less than the danger to people participating in prostitution. One merely needs to look at the comparative mortality rates to ascertain that.

You should read up an understand the difference between EME and CDMs. You are confusing them. I can't blame you, because the EFF/FSF are often conflating the two.

EME specifies a protocol to establish communication between a webpage and a DRM module. The DRM module is called the CDM (content decryption module). EME is what the W3C was standardizing, and can be implemented in open source.

The CDM is not standardized and is a binary, closed source blob.

You're correct that there is more dissipation in the active region, but the Rdson is not negligable because the transistors are so small and the gate voltages so low (1.8V or less).

Switching does dissipate power based on switching speed. For "big" macroscopic FETs driving motors you have a separate gate driver amplifier to handle this. Within a chip, there's a tradeoff because driving a particular gate fast requires a bigger transistor to do the driving, which in turn requires a bigger transistor to drive it - so if you're not careful you spend a lot of area.

Transistor sizes are individually tuned during the design process (usually 99% algorithmically, 1% human intervention). There's a whole bunch of tunable design parameters.

I didn't discuss "leakage" either, so here's Intel on "high k metal gate" technology: http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/advancedtech/doodle/ref_...

(Basically, for big FETs we pretend that the resistance between gate and drain-source channel is infinite. For tiny ones it's surprisingly small and electrons can simply tunnel through your "insulator").

There is not a single browser that implements 100% of all HTML standards out there. Lets sue them all for violating human rights.

The browser landscape is complicated. Firefox is ahead in some ways, behind in others. WebKit has fantastic support for some things that Edge does not do. Chrome lacks some things that Firefox does.

Does any browser lack "basic internet access"? Nope. They all provide a solid foundation that lets everyone use the web. Are some experimental standards missing? Sure. It's complicated.

> why is this a problem if the publisher doesn't want a third party to use their work without their permission, or at all?

Because they do some really stupid and awful things with js and css. For example, some websites try to hijack the clipboard so that if you highlight a piece of text, no matter how small (and small is allowed by fair use), it'll replace your clipboard contents with an attribution to the website or completely forbid you from copying the text.

Some websites try to disable highlighting text via css or js. This one tries to hide its HTML source code, try looking at it without the DOM inspector:

http://etimologias.dechile.net/

Fuck off, the data is on my computer, my home, my personal affairs. Don't try to hijack control away from my computer. Your perceived and exaggerated sense of author's rights or copyrights do not trump my right to use my clipboard or browser the way it was meant to be used.

If we have a problem with how data is being handled, we take it to court. Letting people take data enforcement into their own hands by letting them subvert laws via technical means is vigilantism and a breach of rule of law.

>Is this just speculation, or is there actual case law?

France is a civil-law system, so case law is in theory irrelevant. In practice it isn't so irrelevant these days, but it still doesn't carry nearly the same weight that it does in common-law systems (like most of the US, though not Louisiana). On the one hand, this makes it much easier to ignore previous rulings by clearly corrupt judges. On the other hand, it makes consistent interpretation of the law much harder to achieve. It's a tradeoff.

In other words, Nexedi knows that case law is against them in the US, so they cherry-picked a location for the lawsuit that would allow them to circumvent this obstacle.

I have to disagree on this. Data scientist is a very fluid and fast changing term. I know companies who now call what would traditionally have been "machine learning researcher", "machine learning engineer", or "research scientist in <any data related stuff - data mining, computer vision, signal processing, machine learning, statistics>" as "data scientist" positions. Because it is sexy, in many places, management and job hunters get a kick out of the term "data science" even if it is actually a renaming of other traditional roles. This book perfectly captures the diverse nature of the term.

> Netflix was a big pusher for EME, as far as I know not because they wanted it, but because the studios they license from demand DRM.

This is what they would like for you to think, but as you said yourself, their own content also has DRM applied. If they were really being forced (!) to do this by the evil studios, their own stuff would not include DRM. Netflix clearly wants their facade of protection too, and the studios are a convenient bogeyman, like Ticketmaster in the live events industry.

I don't think it's been settled whether aquaponic setups are any more efficient overall than hydroponics when you consider all the inputs.

It's more variety, though, which in itself is a nice thing.

It's like they thought the theorems and abstract objects they've learned would never be encountered in the wild.

I wish every programming language homepage had a small code example. I know this is a LISP-like language and I can expect it to look like any other LISP. But I still appreciate getting a glimpse of the language without having to hunt through documentation for a tutorial.

A small code example can tell you way more than a language description. An example is the PL equivalent of the picture is worth a thousand words adage.

Additionally, it is not a given that a LISP will use S-expressions. It could use M-expressions, or even G-expressions (form a LISP like language I helped develop that nobody has ever heard of).

Go, Rust, Ruby, Python all have examples on their homepage. Oddly, Swift does not.
I've personally worked on a Lisp backend, it was probably worse than most of the JS sites you lament about.

Naturally. If you are working on finding novel discoveries the world has never seen before, you would be appropriately labeled a scientist working on science. Hence, also why we consider the algorithms I mentioned before to come from computer science, not software engineering.
