I'm the opposite: I can always find a room last minute. It has reached a point where I started to suspect hotels leave at least one room unbooked so that they can charge last-minute bookers through the nose for it.
Out of curiosity. Is NSFW actually NSFW at Pornhub? It may sound silly, but I'm wondering if software developers replace porn with cat videos on their development environment.
Fade rates, or manager's rates, are becoming a problem. Some big online booking schemes require "best available rates" be given to online bookings. Ad-hoc discounts to late night walk-ins are thought a violation of that agreement unless they are also made available to the online scheme. A manager's ability to turn away horrible bookings is also undermined. That group of drunken fratboys have now booked through a smartphone app. Try to pull the "we are overbooked" routine with them and you will be downrated very quickly, likely triggering action from your chain.

A while back I read a fun article about how online booking contracts were "unchristian". The christmas story sees a hotel manager make available a sub-standard room at a discount rate to a desperate walk-in family. Do that today and travelocity will be on your back about not publishing that "best rate" online.
The copyright holder is free to use whatever license they wish, yes.

But if they choose to use the GPL, they must abide by its terms. They aren't free to rewrite parts of it---their license would then be a derivative work of the GPL, which isn't permissible. Section 7 would have to be modified to say that the user can't remove such terms.

If they use the GPL and impose extra terms, state that Section 7 is invalid, then there is a contradiction in the license, and it'd be up to a court to decide. I'm sure any sensible lawyer would tell them that they should use a different license; it's senseless using the GPL if you're going to try to do such a thing.

Sure I've meditated for over 4 years now, and find the easiest time to do is when you lie down to sleep. If you think of your mind like a flipbook, and every thought is a page on the book, when you begin it can feel like you are flipping through the book very fast. Try to concentrate and observe something in your body (many people focus on breathe, or the forehead, I find the heartbeat to be easier). The flipbook thoughts will keep drawing your attention so you must keep trying to bring your focus back to your body when you realise you were distracted. Eventually the flipping slows down more and more, until you begin to occupy the gap between your thoughts. This is a place you are not even aware of until you come out of it. If you can imagine a place with no thought, it can be quite peaceful!
I did the Chicago to San Francisco (and back) run fairly regularly in the 1990s, and we didn't depend on vacancy signs.

Our solution was basically brand loyalty -- the Motel 6 people published a book with addresses and phone numbers of all their motels in the US. The scheme is, you get on the road, and some time around 7pm, you stop for dinner, and make a reservation (from the payphone) at the Motel 6 that's about 100 miles ahead, and off you go.

The only time it didn't work well was one time when there was a large event in Cheyenne, Wyoming (I think it was the world square-dancing championship, but my memory is uncertain), and we couldn't get a room for love or money. We pushed on to Laramie, which was a little dangerous given how long we'd been at it, but it worked out OK.

When poking around for Allwinner H3 docs, I was getting quoted $1.50ea when ordering 100 or more of the H3 SOC, so quad cores can be had for that. It is kinda disconcerting to see how far SOCs have fallen in price.

Look at all the stories of his good will and/or charity towards "little guys". There's zillions from before the campaign, and plenty of the good will in it.

My favorite is of some guy with essentially no money in his pocket, with just a package of hot dogs on a Martha's Vineyard beach. This random guy offered to cook them next to the steaks he was grilling, and accidentally ruined them, thereby feeding the poor guy a stake. I think sometime later the guy realized it was Trump.

There's also the thesis that at some point Trump took the measure of our establishment, including the GOPe, and decided to do something about it.

There's also a historical pattern of the top and bottom against the middle, and now there's a new lower if not bottom group, ditto a new middle, the professional class, and a great deal of (now?) mutual loathing between them and the working class. So in that respect this is nothing new, this goes back millennia.

Great advice. Possibly coming from someone who doesn't have a girlfriend. :) try to give such a stone to a girl and see how amused she is gonna be. You are just gonna sound "cheap". Diamonds are a status, not a beautiful stone.

I'm not sure whether the eco in econonsense refers to economy or ecology but in both possible meanings I would like to hear your math behind the "nonsense".

* gravity costs less than a fuel pump and it rarely breaks so does not need replacement

* recycled material usually costs less than new material, esp. when you consider garbage disposal costs

* less moving parts and parts than can be repaired by amateurs mean less parts overall which means less costs and waste

I don't doubt that they would fail modern crash tests but even that is relative: If everyone is driving a slow "deathtrap" your chances of getting into a high speed crash with a fast moving tank are pretty low.
Following this idea, why don't we also start an anti-racist data base where we can keep track of potentially dangerous criminals hating racists. It could be pre-seeded with known anti-racist groups and yourself.

I think anonymity gives you power, and having that taken away would be a step toward fighting it.

Last night I watched episode 8 of Cosmos (I highly recommend Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson) and learned that for 2+ decades (from 1920s to 1940s), oil industry knowingly propagated bad science that poisoned millions of people in pursuit of profits.

Sadly, pop-ups and auto-play videos lead to more profits, at least perceived/short term. No amount of whining by us will change a board meeting at a medium-large company result. "We need to do X that will piss off Y customers but result in Z more profits." Companies always choose profits.

I'm on board with getting these things changed but appealing to big corporations because "it sucks" is never going to amount to "but it makes us more money." We need a different strategy.
That was the first CSS grid framework I remember coming across. Last updated in 2011, it's not responsive at all it seems. Completely staggering how far things have come in 5 years.
Yeah, like many, they pretend they're doing FOSS while dropping the (F)reedom part.

GPLv3 is about stopping TIVO-isation, but TIVO tactics is what Apple specializes in.
Locking people in with other people's (F)ree software.

The sad part is that GPLv3 is just fine for all (F)OSS project. But to them, it's about making sure their project governance can never really be moved to a more neutral foundation if they ever feel the need to put all their energy behind one project and close it down again... The "freedom" to take away freedom from others isn't one.

A bit like how Android 3.x was code-dumped after the fact, when 4 came out... Open you say?

And yes, non-copyleft would work as well, and I have nothing against them a priori, but that's as long as the governance model is built around neutral foundations, proper community management, etc.

What the GPL does, is prevent the imbalance when a company decide it doesn't care about the community around a project because they have the bigger share and run with it.

I would understand more discussions around AGPLv3, but GPLv3 is just fine.

(On a side note, I'm always fascinated by the GPL bashing here... well... I guess it is expected considering money > freedom for some who can't think passed their project's legacy.)
My bank in the UK has two separate things - a password, which I have to enter in the whole, and a "memorable word" which acts as you suggest. I've not seen a bank account which solely uses a memorable word.

Yes! Thanks for remembering!

Those BIM features were unknown to us as we had no BIM manuals. We took some open source code in a mailing list that let you dynamically load shared libraries. That's how we interacted with the DB2 client, and we also did a similar thing with Perl so the admins could do some work for us.

The IBM macro stuff was mostly there to power their (Motif based) rule builder GUI and was pretty limited unless you pre-processed events upstream and spoon fed it. That's why the IGS guys struggled -- they were certified against the base product (and had minimal experience beyond installing the thing) and the salespeople were aspirationally selling whatever one of the big financial services places did with the product.

It's been 15 years so I'm hazy but I'm pretty sure I tossed most of the macros that shipped with the product. It was a really fun gig and I learned a lot from it.
> there is one license, "GPL + additional requirements"

While these additional requirements may (or may not) be possible and legal, in the case of GNU Parallel, the license is unmodified GPLv3. The project would need to identify a separate license that inherits GPLv3 and explicitly states those additional requirements, but in this case it does not. GPLv3 is used directly and verbatim on the project home page https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

The text the executable spits out asks for citations, but it does not identify itself as a license, it does not state that citations are a legal requirement, and it does not state a relationship to GPLv3 nor carve out exceptions or additional requirements.

I suggest doing a search for 'The Mind Illuminated' and see if the book's description resonates with you. It contains meditation practices that aim to strengthen mindfulness. Unless you're amazingly unique you'll still have lapses in mindfulness but they can become shorter and less frequent over time depending on how diligently you practice during formal meditation and also in day-to-day life.
Obviously it's the intuition, it hits you when you're not expecting it. It happens to me with music or any side project I could have. Also it happens that I solve a problem in the morning without thinking about it. We should have a subconscient IDE, it would make wonders.

Also, keep a paper and a pencil next to your bed just in case you think about something in your sleep, it helps you fall asleep better.
After reading about Moissanite I went out and got a nice custom diamond ring. I've seen it in person and sometimes you CAN tell, because of the 'fire' its way more rainbowy than diamond, diamonds are 'whiter' looking.

I'm not even opposed to CZ if it looks pretty, but I wanted to give her a diamond and gold, and anything else would have felt like a substitution.

A few other cases: transcription errors (i.e., mistaking 1 for l), wrong case of the first character of the password, extraneous character at the end of a password, etc.

The paper I linked to actually does a good job motivating specific classes of typos by looking at real typos from Dropbox users.
Not only is the analogy correct, the problem has the same solution: require evidence of user intent. Pop ups work just fine when spawned as a result of a user clicking on a link. Videos can start playing when a user taps or clicks on them.
A diamond purchase is a type of proof-of-burn. It's a way to display how much you value the person by being willing to sacrifice a large part of your savings for them. It's not really about the stone itself, it's about the cost.
They don't care if you think they are hypocrites, they are believers in their own righteousness.

I wonder, do people broadly take away this message from Serenity? Not the slick-talkin space cowboys are cool message, the message about believing. The theme is repeated in the movie, but it's directly delivered by Shepherd Book. He labels the government antagonist as a believer. He literally says to Mal I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

In the end, the only thing that stops the believer is having his entire world torn down.

But yeah, it's pretty hypocritical.
If your girlfriend dumps you because you're not spending $5,000 on a diamond ($5,000 that could be invested for your future house, baby, etc) then you should probably celebrate.

http://www.globalcmt.org/

Scroll to the bottom and look at the chart of cumulative energy (moment) release over time. This is probably the easiest visualization what you're looking for without going to scientific papers. It only goes back to the 1970s though. The big steps are the Sumatran earthquakes and Tohoku (Japan). There were some equally big steps in the 1950s.

As far as I know (and I do this professionally) there is no evidence for any real variation in the global, time-averaged rate of earthquake occurrence or energy release. However the time window to average over has to be several decades to centuries depending on how comfortable one is with noise. Any individual segment of a fault will have an earthquake repeat time (for a significant earthquake) of hundreds (San Andreas fault) to tens of thousands of years, and is lots of evidence for clusters of earthquakes on individual faults or sets of faults, but this is mostly a local effect--the stress changes in the crust caused by an earthquake can basically load nearby faults and affect when they will have the next earthquake. But again, this is for the most part local (<100 km). Globally, earthquakes are essentially unrelated. That a big one may hit Chile and then Japan in short order is happenstance as far as the seismological community is concerned (though it's not dogma, and long-distance 'teleseismic' triggering is investigated--it just doesn't seem to be a big deal).

However, earthquakes in the news aren't a good reflection of global seismic statistics. Earthquakes like the Italian events (M6-6.6) over the past few months (and years) occur every day, but mostly in the ocean basins and don't affect people other than shaking some palm thatch roofs in Vanuatu. The most deadly event (minus tsunami) in my lifetime was the Haiti earthquake in 2010, killing ~200,000 people, and it was a pretty routine, moderate-magnitude event. It just hit an incredibly vulnerable population.
I'm sure you appreciate how easy selling diamonds makes avoiding taxes. Diamonds and High-End Art make it nearly impossible to not help launder.
That's a good idea but it doesn't work for other common typos: wrong case of only the first character, an extraneous character at the end of the password, etc.
As I said I am ready to be positively surprised. There is a lot of talk in American politics but when it comes to action the actions are usually very predictable. In my view Trump is no revolutionary when it comes to actual policy.

But we'll see...
Yes, this discussion reappears every time diamonds are mentioned on HN. Pretty brilliant marketing campaign by De Beers, though, that somebody will think you're "cheap" if you don't buy a big enough diamond that somebody dug out of the ground.

In the end it's just a conversation between people who say, "You can't just ignore these social conventions" and people who say "these social conventions are stupid, find someone who isn't so shallow."

If you think everyone falls into one camp or the other, however, then you have a lot to learn.
There are no exceptions to human rights as listed in the UN Declaration on Human Rights. http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/inde... However, article 29 says:

(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.

So you can be limited, legally, in the exercise of your rights, but you still have all the rights.
True of any human vanity.
In the USA that doesn't help. If you don't have a driver's license, you have to have a "state-issued ID card", which is the same except it doesn't confer the right to drive. The only way to avoid both is to opt out of society completely, which is effectively giving up living in this country.
It's possible that they create the character entry when you set your password and the bank/operator only has access to that particular character in plain text.
I’ve realized that I’m much more likely to talk to someone who understands basic economics and complex systems in cotton field in Arkansas than I am w/ someone with a million dollars worth of education in San Francisco.

author then proceeds to conflate the variation of price with supply of cotton (a more-or-less fungible good) with housing stock (a thoroughly non-fungible one).
What's confusing about it? They're usually articles about fairly niche, but HN relevant, ideas/subjects.

This is what annoys me. The geek and idealist in me doesn't want to give her a diamond because it's not that valuable.
Yet, I don't want to be cheap. I don't want her to feel like I don't value her enough.
I don't think Section 7 enables automatically ignoring non-permissive additional terms --- the "additional permissions" are defined in the section to be exceptions from conditions, not as further restrictions. Interpreting what exactly happens in this case probably requires a lawyer.

It's of course the case that using GPL and adding such clauses does not make any sense. GNU parallel does not appear to be doing this, as the license text is unmodified GPL with no additional clauses.
Yea, I know what you mean, but times are changing. Diamonds will eventually be the Fox, or Mink coat. It's not quite there yet though.

> a possible problem is when the software gets better then humans ... And you get many people who all can be identified by the vitness, witch one do you prosecute ?

The non-rhetorical answer, according to how the system is supposed to work, is none of them. It's not possible for four independent actors to each have a 95% chance of being the perpetrator. If one has a 95% probability then the combined probability of all the others has to be <5%. And if the probability of the "most likely suspect" to have done it is e.g. 40%, that clearly isn't "beyond a reasonable doubt."

But this was all true even before computers. The system doesn't care about the math. A crime is committed, someone is to be punished, they put the most likely suspect in front of a jury and most of the time the jury will convict regardless.

In reality most of the time the accused will plead guilty to take a six month sentence over the 90+% chance of getting five years from a jury who doesn't understand (and is not given an opportunity to understand) how the probabilities actually work. And that incentive to plead guilty for a shorter sentence and lower legal bills is the same whether you're guilty or innocent.
