It may be reassuring (or worrying) to see its resemblance to "battle tested" biological systems. Even the simplest cells can't just "re-evolve" a magically-removed piece, the whole thing comes crashing down.

How to get Google Assistant without root on any Android Smartphone?
Yes it is. Even though you are comparing two different libraries that does different things, vue.js is easy then jquery. Because it is much smaller in it's api. What it does is very simple and clear to understand.

I am using vue.js and vuex in some of my current projects. Only problem for me is that after adding Vuex and all it's getters, mutations and actions, my Vue component code now looks like lot of boilerplate code. Did any one else had that feeling. Is there any way I can directly connect vue template with vuex without intermediate component?
You need to use "USD" or "dollars" I think
It will stimulate the economy to promote more jobs. "There are people whose labor is worth $8/hr but not $11/hr" is a non-sequitur because this fuzzy concept of "worth" varies in time & space. (For example, demand-push inflation will change the numbers.)
If you support export controls for security reasons, this is kind of inevitable.

The government shouldn't be forced to buy any type of military technology someone creates. But even if the government won't buy your tech, it still can be dangerous in the hands of other countries.

One could argue that if the government is preventing you from selling your tech abroad - there should be some sort of compensation for this.
Others could argue that's just the cost of being in the business of weapons manufacturing.
I apologize if you used an old version of my IRC bot. It actually tried to screen-scrape the Frink website and did it badly. There are some sites still using it. (And, I think, got throttled for abuse, which might explain your "flakiness".)

There's a newer version of the bot that runs a Frink interpreter on your own system and it's rock-steady. (I saw another IRC bot that forgot to synchronize on the Frink interpreter. Don't use that either.)

Doesn't HDCP close that loophole? HDMI capture cards are for things like recording the HDMI output of your DSLR for livestreaming (or a really high quality webcam, I guess).

Of course, the HDCP master key is leaked, but I'm not sure you can reliably buy something that reliably includes one (random batches of "HDMI repeaters" on Amazon seem to strip HDCP, but it's hit-or-miss because it's like totally omg super illegal; better to get the criminality out of your system with murder or arson.)
I can do either; I'm a very good talker and a very good programmer, and I'm pretty good on a white board too. But, fundamentally, this is a refusal on the part of the company to invest time in the process (while expecting the candidate to invest hours of their time). You are not operating as either business partners or equals; it's a power play. And that's not humane (and it's stupid besides in a seller's market).

I'm good at these tests. That doesn't mean that doing them is economically wise.
>> For now, Sancoff has decided to stop filing patent applications altogether. "We're afraid the government will come in and put more secrecy orders on us," he says.

I see this as a good thing.... IMO the protection patents provide are over rated in the first place (unless your a patent troll) for companies that are actually making something.

Of course it will not stop the State Dept from using ITAR to kill your business.

>Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) has weighed in on Sancoff’s behalf.“It doesn’t seem right for the U.S. government

What does not seem right is the US government can issue secrecy orders in the first place... That is what does not seem right. That seems like a clear 1st amendment violation to me.
To be fair, most forms of property come from government-granted rights. The very idea that you can own land is kind of weird when you think about it.

I average about 30g of carbohydrate and under 5g sugar for an entire day when I'm losing or maintaining my weight. 9g for a small meal (and Soylent is a small meal, it's 400 calories a bottle) is a lot, especially given that it's 34g of non-fiber carbohydrates in the bottle besides jst the sugar count..

And no, it hasn't been all 'right-wing' intervention, though I'd certainly agree that there has been a lot of that.

One should argue that being prohibited from talking about your technology is a 1st amendment violation, and if we are to have the concept of "Intellectual property" then the government banning you from selling it would be a 5th amendment violation with out just compensation.,

However given that the constitution is widely ignored by the US government today, with full support of the court system, it is unlikely that the constitution will protect anyone.
My all time favorite keyboard is my apple //e. Last time I was home visiting my parents, they mentioned it was in the basement. Went down and typed a few things just for the feel. Still my favorite.

Modern mechanicals don't compare in the slightest.

That said, I vastly prefer my MacBook Pro keyboard to modern mechanicals. It's last years model. Never tried a MacBook that I recall, so I have no opinion there.

But my last MacBook Pro was great for me for 5 years, and I plan on hanging on to this one for a while.
Seattle is also a very wealthy city already so the absorbsion of higher labor costs is a more elastic. However, you have to look at the greater trend, the U.S. unemployment rate has fallen quite lot since this law was ever enacted, and Seattle already had a lower than average unemployment rate.

The full effects of the law will not be felt until it is fully enacted anyhow, but it's important to remember that Seattle isn't some isolated economy, and it is experiencing big economic growth from two of the largest and most successful (and most valuable) companies in the world, Microsoft and Amazon; not to mention just the national aggregate of economic growth.

It would be a lot more interesting to see a sector by sector breakdown of labor slack. Restaurant closings after the law began to hike wages to the eventual $15 spiked well above the national average. I doubt that's a coincidence. I honestly don't think you will be able to see a significant effect until after a recession and we can see the effects of sticky wages with a much higher price floor.

My guess is that it will still be fairly muted, because....Microsoft and Amazon are both based in the Seattle area; but the effects could perhaps be better measured. Anyone doing a victory lap now is definitely jumping the gun.

This is crazy. In all the battery packs I have seen so far, the convention seems to be that the micro USB port is for charging the battery pack itself and the type A port is for delivering power to the device to be charged. Looks like a new set of rules apply to the USB-C ports.
He can't do anything about the existing IP. But in the future, is it worth assigning the IP to a foreign holding corporation and applying for a foreign patent in a country with patent-respecting treaties with the US?

They can't order an Icelandic company to do anything, even if it happens to have American shareholders. And even if manufacturing is done in the US, the most they could do is seize the ships, and there are stronger protections for that.
I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars every month to pay for cable-internet/basic-cable-tv-package/wireles-phones AND super-cable-tv-package that actually includes ESPN and other sports channel. For an average family of 4-5 wirelss phones and average income, paying for cable-tv + super-cable-tv seems too much. And it is. Just to get content to show on the displays, a family has to essentially spend $ that can easily pay for a new CAR.

And because we cut cable-tv to stay sane financially, we get very little access to live sports games on over-the-air TV.

You wouldn't believe how LITTLE sports my kids watch on TV spontaneously, compared to how much I used to watch when a lot of important games were shown over-the-air TV.

What little they watch, it's from youtube. For some highlight or some incredible goals. But that's unlikely to turn them into a fan (serious or casual) of a particular sports or pro team.

The greed powered cable-tv movement has really driven a lot of fans away from pro sports teams.

This imo is a classic example of greed for short-term gain costing dearly in long-term.

Many kids in cable-tv-less households really don't interact with pro sports teams. What do you think the kids from such family will do when they grow up?
People get used to heat and humidity. If all you know is a more temperate climate or ubiquitous AC then it's hard to image sleeping in tropical heat.
I think anti-free-market ideologies like Piketty's are deeply authoritarian and violent.

What does it mean to reject the free market? It means rejecting a right of a person to 1. keep what they receive in private trade, and to 2. engage in any voluntary interaction they wish with another consenting adult, especially if it involves the exchange of currency (god forbid!).

As a corollary to this, it means prying into people's personal affairs to determine how much in income tax they owe (tax laws that profoundly violate privacy rights by forcing people to disclose how much currency they received in private trade and from what sources) and whether they engaged in prohibited voluntary interactions with other consenting adults (interactions like one person letting another stay at their home for a short-duration in exchange for an amount of currency).

In my opinion, this deeply misguided mentality that Piketty and you exhibit is responsible for billions having their human rights violated on a systematic basis, and probably a similar number of people having shorter, less fulfilling lives than they otherwise would have.

Same with me. Lots of heartburn from soylent, especially if I ate it as breakfast. I can handle it with solid food or in the middle of the day, but not on an empty stomach.
They have the right to invalidate your patent, since that is a government-granted monopoly in the first place.

But the secrecy order is a separate matter.
> I thought about selling off some of the anniversary gift jewelry I bought for my wife through the years so I could preorder

Slightly off-topic, but that moment is when you know you have a problem.
The tone of the response really rubs me the wrong way.

> Wow, dude I did not even know we were fighting.

It's not a fight; it's a dispute over licensing.

> you say we have been taking from the open source community without giving back, well, of course, that isn’t true.

No, you were accused of not following a specific license on a specific piece of code.

> Here is a list of 224 projects on our public GitHub page

Open source is not a swap meet; you can't violate a license if you voluntarily release some other code to make up for it.

> and we will release the app you saw as well.

If that means "we were inadvertently not in compliance, but we are releasing the code and will be in compliance shortly", then that needed a tweet at most, not a rambling blog post about the fact you've got 224 projects on github. So I'm guessing this does not mean they're taking steps to become compliant?

> Yes, we did use the WordPress open source library for a minor part of the application (that is the concept of open source right?)

Yes, along with following the actual terms of the actual license when you use an open source library. You weren't accused of not adhering to the spirit of open source; you were accused of not following the letter of a license (which, if true, means you aren't adhering to the spirit of open source either).

> If you need source code that we have, and we have not yet released, then, most likely we will be happy to share, you only need to ask.

That's...what they did. You need to comply with the licenses of the libraries you use, you were asked to do it. You will "most likely" be happy to do it? You were asked; you're replying to being asked, and your answer is that you don't have an answer, but the odds are good that you'll have one someday? What does this even mean?

Considering the sheer mass of words, it's amazing that the word "license" and "GPL" don't occur even once. There's no attempt to address or discuss the actual accusation being made, just vague assertions that some stuff will be released someday, maybe, if you're asked, and hey how about a coffee.

All this needed was a tweet: "Thanks for heads-up; will be compliant shortly." Or maybe: "On advice of lawyers, we believe we are in full compliance, thanks." Reminds me of an old lawyer joke: If the facts are against you, hammer the law. If the law is against you, hammer the facts. If both are against you, hammer the table." I'm going to mark this down as "table hammering", and I think it rather sugests that Wix, at least, thinks their position sucks.

Assume they have sold me their software. I am using this app that contains GPL licensed code. AFAIK, they can't take back this software I've bought from them, and due to the GPL, they are obliged to provide the source code for the entire app to me if I want it.

Whether they stop infringing on any further sales of the software is of no consequence to me and to the software they already sold me.

IANAL.
How can you possibly claim that failure modes of humans are well understood? Stop being such a baby. You work in a climate controlled office with catered lunches and get paid six figures. You don't have to deal with bodily fluids of other humans, or breaking the news to a "meat machine" that he or she has a terminal illness.
You'd still use the hydraulics, they are by far the best solution for that application. Utterly reliable, extremely high power levels available if required, no gears or other fragile bits. The most likely way in which that would work would be an electrically driven hydraulic compressor and the rest of the system stays just the way it is today.

A large farm tractor produces 100KW to 200KW of power, and most of that in high torque low RPM situations where an electric motor would definitely be a contender (that's why we have diesel-electric hybrid locomotives as well).

A simpler drive train would also be a big gain for maintenance reasons, the weight added by the batteries would not be a huge issue, weight in a tractor isn't nearly as bad as in a regular road vehicle, in fact for many tractor applications weight is added to the machine on purpose.
>>Sports is the one area where it basically costs whatever people decide

I wish this was true, and with cord killing and Ala carte media becoming more of the standard it will be, but Sports today, especially major sports like NFL, MLB, etc have a hugely over inflated cost because of bundling.

This is something I wanted to ask for a while, so here it is.

You probably intended to say something reasonable, but what you wrote just doesn't make much sense.
I think it was meant as hyperbole.
To me the Chromebook keyboard layout is a key feature. I thought the absence of a delete key would be a problem, this has not proven to be the case. The simplicity is a joy.

A keyboard that you might want to try is the Logitech K810. I accidentally bought the Apple keyed 811 variant and have decided to go for the PC variant as I have done so well with the 811 version. You can also get a case for it and nowadays that is what I travel with, leaving the laptop behind. I can use the Logitech keyboard on all devices that matter, swapping between desktop, phone and laptop with a simple keypress.

http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/bluetooth-illuminated-...

I also balance this keyboard over the keyboard on my laptop, it somehow doesn't affect the keys below and offers a better typing experience. The keystroke illumination is better than on the Chromebook Pixel, as is the keystroke mechanism feel, and I did have the Chromebook Pixel keyboard down as best in any laptop. For these reasons I am doubling down on the portable Logitech keyboard.

Another idea: maybe go for retro cool keyboards. For instance an SGI keyboard from back in the day. This is a totally standard keyboard without any Windows keys:

> lay down the facts, don't get down to the mud, but clearly expose the other side's errors - with class!

That is, indeed, a good way to respond to an accusation.

It is not, in any sense, what Wix did. The response was free of facts, snarky, and didn't even address the claims the other side made, much less expose any errors.

What Wix needed to do was say "oh hey, good catch, we'll be compliant soon" or "thanks but we think we're compliant". They did neither.
Amusingly enough, the embedded controller on some of the newer Allwinner ARM SoCs is apparently OpenRISC of all things. Guess it saved them some licensing fees.
You reject an entire line of thinking before even reading into it, because you make assumptions about what you think a few key-words mean in a particular context.
Because it has effectively become the government's property. What else would you call it? If they control where it goes, who can look at it, how many can exist or be built. Those and many more are property rights. US Govt needs to pay up seeing as this is a fully mature platform. If it was just some drawings on paper then they wouldn't owe a dime.
But that doesn't mean you can strip out the license either.
Interesting! I like this method.

Edit: Can we see the results of your analysis anywhere? That would be super interesting.
Is there a video of this boat in real weather? That is, waves larger than the boat [1]. How does it cope without capsizing? Do its systems still work? Is propulsion retained if strong enough turbulence "breaks" the gas bubble around the floaters?

WordPress isn't even properly GPL-licensed. No license in the top-level app file [1] [2]. The included license file doesn't selectively attach itself to all relevant files, and not to source files that have a different license [3]. WordPress contains copyrighted material that's definitely not GPL-compatible [4], so even if the previous points are considered irrelevant, it remains questionable if the source can be distributed under the terms of the GPL at all [5].
