IP protection covers three things—patent, copyright, and trademark. Patent and copyright exist to encourage people to innovate; there's less incentive for the studio to produce next summer's big action flick if it were legal to copy it as soon as it's released; and there's less incentive to figure out which of many nearly identical, but subtly different contraptions actually work if someone can then take the working one and produce a thousand at some factory.

Trademark is different. That rewards not the act of creation, but the ongoing investment in a brand. Do I want a huge quantity of something for above average quality and below average price? Buy Kirkland Signature. Do I want outdoor gear that will be covered no matter what happens? LLBean has me covered.

Disney almost surely makes almost no profit off of Steamboat Willy as a film, and in fact according to the copyright laws of the time, it wouldn't be covered today, so Walt probably didn't factor in the 21st century when amortizing his costs. Is there some teenager out there who could create some truly inspiring film by remashing clips from Steamboat Willy? I have no idea, but would love to find out. But a Mickey Mouse mug is more about trademark, and Disney should get to profit off that as long as people want to buy them. And if the teenagers film hurts the trademark, then that's something that could be resolved without an indefinite extension of copyright terms.
Genetic similarity is bs measurement.

No, with drugs the more serious crimes are distribution and possession, it is not illegal to consume illicit drugs. It seems like the usual pattern for drug busts goes the opposite way as you'd expect—bust a user and use them to get the dealer.
This is less like a drug or prostitution sting where the mark is arrested before the contraband can be consumed, and more like a hired hitman sting where the victim is actually murdered.

From a moral point of view, Child pornography is de-ontologically wrong. Nothing can justify its existence. Even if such a sting managed to shut down the entire industry, it would be moot to attempt to argue for its moral goodness in consequentialist terms.

The FBI could have used other means to establish criminal intent in the visitors to the websites along with the fact that they had used Tor to search out and visit those websites in the first place. They could have made prospective viewers engage in a series of incriminating acts such as requiring them follow a series of links with the promise of finding the material, or making them refresh the page. There was no need to provide the actual offensive material in order to make a solid case.
> The Controller is highly dependent on the View.

OP is painting with an overly broad brush: Angular is not representative of all client-side MVC. I maintain an app where the view handles the browser events - as it should, and the only data that gets passed between the view and the controllers are the (business) models.

> Don't be so scared of porting your code.

I stuck with that line, because maybe his colleagues are also waiting for "50% of colleagues using Py3" and it's just a deadlock until some few brave enough starts to port and tip the balance.
> So, capping damages at the listed value of the patent basically means that you have a standing offer to sell a perpetual non-exclusive license to any one for any reason.

Yes. At full value PER ONE YEAR. (Property taxes are per year, and the liability limit I propose is "per infringer per year" (or "per infringement per year" if infringement is defined in a macroscopic enough sense).
"Often", huh. Are you really arguing for that mate?
I am sorry, I imagine it would be possible in Germany. Even if I try, I don't see University of Illinois campus police doing it. I see them not taking her seriously (but why wouldn't they? it would be terrible for their jobs to have customers there getting stabbed).

But them being members of a fascist party and compiling lists, as hard as I try, I don't see happening.

Her name is in plain sight on Twitter. If she was afraid of reprisals why would she post it on Twitter with her full name?

Isn't something as simple as it being fake a more plausible explanation?

There's also a difference between compromising pictures of real people and non-identifiable non-human bags of powder. Bags of cocaine don't have dignity that the law should be striving to protect.
> Stop the hate in the streets.

Go tell that to the people scrawling white power slogans, painting swastikas, putting up signs for "colored" drinking fountains, wearing blackface, calling people "niggers", etc.

> voting freedom is sacred

No, your right to vote is enshrined in the constitution, but you have no right not to be judged a horrible human being for your choice.
On android, MVC is dead. Talk about overly-circuitous code that is not straight forward to step through. MVP is great, when not over-done by folks as well (eg making a model-view-presenter unit recursively for every element on screen rather than having one unit associated with the a given screen).
Oh I see, it's because we have no evidence. But it has happened for sure so who needs evidence? :-D
An XMPP IM Platform with REST API Ease: MongooseIM 2.0.0 [Webinar 24 Nov]
It's not true that the only offensive words are those meant to offend. Language can evoke emotions. Sometimes inadvertently a phrase or form of speech can cause visceral reactions in the recipient. I have a hard time believing that there is nothing that a person can say that could cause anger, hurt, pain in you. I don't know you so I'll take your word for it.
I don't underestimate our intelligence, but I think most of us have too little time to do the due diligence ourselves. I am not saying you should trust one traditional media source, but I hope that unfiltered social media never fully replace traditional media.

For me Twitter is just hopelessly noisy compared to a well written and nuanced newspaper article that presents me with most of the facts, opinions, potential consequences, graphs, etc. involved with a topic.

The sad thing is that most news in traditional media is not well-written, well-researched, or nuanced.
I agree with what you say, and just validates what I think and heard over and over again for many years - off shoring isn't worth it for most of the use cases. In long run, it's at least as expensive if not more, the issue with time zones, communication and just doing everything is too much to counter the low savings which are not usually even there.

the only case I can think of is if you need an army of developers and for some regulatory reason cannot find them / bring them locally.

I'll take anytime mediocre dev that sits next to me to some remote superior dev, since all we do is a team effort that actual coding of lines of code is quite small part of.
"fair" without some specific discussion of a viewpoint is always pointless.

Is it somehow objectively fair that Romney can give an extra ~$1.3 million dollars to some cause other than the US government? Of course not.

(I don't think it is the largest problem with the tax code, but I'm not real certain it is a good thing, the rules for determining whether a charity qualifies to receive deductible contributions effectively add a lot of complexity to the tax code)
> We next exploited cortical signals to decode the temporal structure of extensor and flexor hotspot activation. The spiking activity recorded from the left motor cortex displayed cyclic modulations that were phase-locked with right leg movements (Extended Data Fig. 4a). We developed a decoder that calculated the probability of foot-strike and foot-off events from this modulation to anticipate the activation of extensor and flexor hotspots associated with right leg movements (Extended Data Fig. 4b). Evaluations in two intact monkeys showed that the decoder accurately predicted these gait events in real time over extended periods of locomotion, including when initiating and terminating gait, and during rest.

Is that kind of what you mean?
How does tribal automatically mean being unreasonable?
> Misogyny is literally HATRED of women

No, it's not. I won't quote dictionaries, you can look it up on wikipedia. You can also find compilations of all the offensive remarks he made regarding women.

> ALL politicians are to some extent.

True. Indeed, we're all liars. However, Trump seems to disregard the truth when it stands right next to him. Even in the face of irrefutable proof he doesn't back down. That's worse than lying.

> He seems to be handling twitter quite great

I wouldn't call handling twitter tech literacy, but he's taking an aggressive stance against Apple's privacy policy for example.

> Disgust is visceral aversion, and can be very personal. Not an argument

I kindly disagree. At some point so much garbage is piled up you can't help but sum it up in a very personal way: disgusting. Also, as a human being I can't help but have feelings. And I would argue they're a rational response to everything I witnessed this election.
Also, set -e is not a good flag to rely on, because it can really trip you up if you do anything at all that involves subshells, e.g.:

set -e

function foo {
false
echo foo
}

i=1
while [[ i -le 20 ]]; do
echo "$i $(foo)"
i=$((i+1))
done
It is built on top of Titan on Cassandra ut it's more than a graph database. We have a blog post in the works about that soon but take a look at https://grakn.ai/pages/platform/index.html for more.
But the problem at least in the US is that the "proper channels" are purposely set so low as to encourage illegal immigration. Many industries, including Trump's field of construction rely on illegal immigrants for a large part of their labor source. Demonizing the illegal immigrants is kind of like Claude Rains in 'Casablanca' claiming to be shocked by the illegal gambling at Rick's while participating in it.
I'm not extending the analogy to include more states (games are equivalent to states here), but rather changing the scores to reflect how close many of the states/games were.

Your "most logical analogy" still isn't quite right. The individual scores for each game were very close, and the total scores actually slightly favor Clinton. But Trump won more games, after weighting the games in a certain way. But I don't know how to do it better, I don't think there's any sport that's really played anything like this!

I'd say the best measure for closeness would be either how much of a shift in the overall vote was needed to flip the result, or how much of a targeted shift could generate a change in the result. In this case, an overall shift of 1-2% would have changed the result, and a targeted shift of some tens of thousands of votes could have. It's not the closest election ever (2000 probably takes that prize by these criteria) but it's fairly close compared to, say, 2012 and 2008.
He gave over $1M to Trump's campaign. If anything, he just paid his way into being a presidential advisor.

Sure, I may not know his exact motives for supporting Trump's campaign, or his motives for joining his administration, but if something stinks I'm not going to ignore it.

I'm done giving politicians the benefit of a doubt, because they always just disappoint me in the end.

I'm not sure if we can make that assertion, given the Deep State is safely ensconced regardless of which figurehead is offered up for our worship and ridicule. How does the old chestnut go, something about how if voting made a difference they wouldn't let us...

Millions of ordinary Americans support Donald Trump. Here's why
Don't apologize, it's how I took the comment as well. You can assume someone is guilty of generalizing when they generalize.
So you think Hillary was fired with prejudice from the WIC, even though there is no evidence that this statement is true, you are willing to accept it as gospel and further, bind that into strengthen your opinion of her?

Is that not the textbook definition of bias?

And as I further gather, your response to this is "I don't care", as in "I don't care that I am biased"; not that "I acknowledge my biases as a weakness in my rational thought processes".

Do you see bias as a strength? Do you believe that adjusting your mental model of the world to adapt to new information as a hindrance? Have I mistaken your point?

(Please please please do not mistake my questions as judgements; I genuinely am interested in your opinion and argument!)
Posting outrage stories about white hot topics is bad to begin with, and this one is from a year ago. Posting like this will lose your story submission privileges on Hacker News, so please don't post like this.

If you haven't had enough Trump stories, it might be better to supplement your diet with other websites than to bring them here, where the needle is already in the red.
100% agree with this. Specifically, I'm trying to do three things right now...

1. Investigate "why"

2. Avoid partisan statements

3. Ask myself, if it were Obama instead of Trump would I feel the same way. And if the answer is no, I keep searching for the right message.

What metric are you using to compare the security of a smartphone to a desktop?
That is one way of looking at it. But the hate is already being spread and has been spread by our new president's campaign. For non-white people his election is a direct threat against their well-being.

If the anti-trump protesters are being sore losers then the KKK are being sore winners.
I'm gonna keep shoving my half-baked morals of "not assaulting women" and "lynching is somewhat out of date" into every throat I can find.

Trump's victory only shows I overestimated people. My morals may not have a majority, so it's great they aren't subject to a popularity contest. Democracy isn't about two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

Regarding "egalitarianism": People are created equal, they deserve equal chances, equal treatment before the law when the situations are equal. it doesn't mean all opinions deserve equal consideration. If I get cancer, I'll listen to an expert. If I read something on foreign policy, I'll give more weight to a Condi Rice interview in the NYT than something by "blahi". It's the result of a general policy called "Don't be an idiot".

What further evidence that she's an establishment hack could have convinced you?

A record as a carpet-bagging New York senator, notable only for her vote to go to war in Iraq. A stint as Secretary of State unblemished by any positive accomplishment. Both of those jobs were from the Democratic establishment, which then went on to literally fix the nomination process for her.

Forget the money from Goldman Sachs, she took money from Donald Trump for goodness sake. She is the epitome of an establishment hack. The Democratic establishment sold out their base.
I think you truly don't understand how the American justice system works. There are lots of crimes that go unpunished. Sometimes even when the evidence is overwhelming. Prosectors have a budget, have political considerations to make, have to make decisions on what crimes to prosecute and which ones not to prosecute.

There was overwhelming evidence that OJ killed Nicole. He wasn't convicted. Lack of conviction does not indicate lack of evidence or lack of occurrence. In the case of Trump and his sexual assault of women they didn't report it to the police. Try hard and you might be able to wrap your head around the fact that many victims don't report the crime.
Indeed, and ordered dicts come from Py 3.6, which is in beta now and expected for December.

If async and this had been in Py3 from the start, they could've done a far better argument saying "hey, we broke all this stuff, but you get asyinc I/O and faster dicts" (a note of faster dicts: since many classes and language mechanisms use dicts, it should have an encompassing effect on all of python performance -- maybe not 30% or 40% faster, but a few % all around, which is kind of what micro benchmarks are showing with 3.6 betas)
Also, for the Python ecosystem closed source projects are less relevant than the open parts of the ecosystem. And the open side has rather clearly decided which versions will go forward.

On a data level: I wouldn't be surprised if most of theese projects are either not actually new (ie. only added to their CI system, codebase is older) or is related/interacts/integrated to/into a Python 2 codebase, which arguably isn't a from-scratch project, either.

I think the clear differential here is that compromising the server and tracking its users while it was in operation by Freedom Hosting would perhaps be "OK" but confiscating the server, moving it to HQ, and then operating the site themselves is decidedly not.

Keep in mind, you can't just pause the site and expect your targets not to notice, they had to actively maintain the site (and consider what that means) to keep their targets coming back. It's disgusting and disturbing. And if it's what we know about it, it's also just the tip of the iceberg.

At least with Fast & Furious I think it was real criminals running the guns and just a failure to intervene. I think a failure to intervene here would be seen as unacceptable as well. But here we have way more than failure to intervene, they effectively provided the guns and helped run them across the border.
Okay, fair enough, I didn't quite realize that's what you were arguing against.

I need to hunt down the demographic info for the general exit polling; this is one of the big questions on my mind.
I do, only because it's from the institution that actually owns the real painting. Museums try pretty hard to get colors right on the digital images that they put online. And since the project is about color, it seems like an important detail. Thanks for being open to my nitpicking. Very cool project.
Mine too.

Turned out McAfee was just demanding their protection fee.

So: McAfee bad. Cannot speak for Kaspersky, haven't used it for years. Defender is OKish.

But one that I sometimes recommend is Vipre from Sunbelt Software.

My builds are slightly faster with it and on one occasion it took down an infection that no other AV I tried managed.

(Of course this can just be because the malware writers didn't care to code in resistance to it but then again it supports Kasperskys claim that diversity is good.)
> "[...] But people who opposed Donald Trump, on both the left and right, should commit right now to one thing: We will not tar good people for joining the Trump administration."

I'm not one to demonize Trump, but I don't see why someone who does demonizes Trump should not extend this to his administrative team, especially since on a lot of topics, Trump is more liberal that a proper GOPer.
Hi! - why not release a working version for Ruby 2.3? or heck even 2.2 for general use. That would be useful and maybe generate some form of traction.
I know. I had to endure the same with my sister. She was only 24- tragic bike accident. We gave her one day that way after all the tests- apnea, ear flush, even an additional EEG which we requested and was sparse as the night sky- came back negative. We looked at the weekly costs and made an informed decision as well as choosing some organ donation options.

Watching her wheeled out of that hospital room heart still beating was certainly the hardest moment of my life so far. We never saw the actual 'plug' pulled and i actually prefer(red) it that way.

I deeply empathize that the decision was all on you. doing it collectively was a hair easier. hope your emotional/personal recovery has been as swift as possible.
Nonono, it's all about economic anxiety.
True, but 1) I question heavily whether this operation will actually prevent a greater amount of future viewing, and 2) would anybody accept that sort of means-justify-ends approach in the context of my initial analogy of continuing to operate a child prostitution ring?

Drawing the planet in brushstrokes
As far as I can tell almost everyone offended at "Happy Holidays" comes from Christians who prefer to be told "Merry Christmas".
Where does this myth that people at the coasts are all wealthy come from? There's plenty of poverty at the coasts and in the big cities. In fact, it seems there's quite a lot that big city blacks and rural whites actually have in common (a recent SNL sketch with Tom Hanks pointed that out in a touching way).

And while you're right that Indians are less common in pop culture than black people, Indians are also a much smaller group, and they are still represented in pop culture. I think women have a far worse share; apparently they get about 17% of the movie roles, whether it's in big crowds or for main roles. This is really the first time I've ever heard of the left being somehow against representation of Indians. They are really not.
> I guess if all code written could be seen as an API, TDD would be great, but that's not the world I live in.

If not an "Application Programming Interface", isn't all code an Interface? There's input and there's output.

With Object Oriented programming, that there is an interface is more explicit (even if all you're doing is implementing objects that are already tested). There are function call argument (type) specifications (interfaces) whether it's functional or OO.
Call him out, but keep listening. Those names are used to justify shutting down the discussion.
The first example has a lot more use cases than it alludes to. I have a lot of aliased utility scripts for text processing, and frequently need to use them over entire files as well as on output piped from other processes. In this case, I don't know if the input file is going to be an argument or stdin from some upstream operation. That's easily taken care of with

INPUT_FILE="${1:-/dev/stdin}"

Which sets the input to the first argument if there is one, or stdin if there isn't. My solution was a lot messier before I learned about parameter substitution.
