"a key here is that student should learn how to learn."

Education is 50% daycare.

80% of students are not really motivated at all, they are doing it because they have to.

'Self direction' is exceedingly rare in youngsters.

99% of educational problems would be resolved if students showed up, paid attention and 'wanted to learn'. Motivation, attention and discipline are problematic.

Most teachers and courses are pretty good today.
Usually it's not overt. More common (in New York, London, and Cologne) is cabs that avoid me when I'm carrying luggage, however just a few weeks ago, at George Best (UK) airport, driver asks me to get another car after I am inside the car and tell him I want to go to Newry.

Unfortunately, he just isn't overly successful / good at it. If you agree with him on the points, a better approach would be constructive criticism, i.e. thinking about ways of changing the framing of debates that might be more successful.

Sure, so what I'm saying is: there has to be a "correct" alternative to uber (as linux was to ms) and then you're providing an actual reasonable proposition for switching.

I do not think telling people "don't use uber" when it's clearly cheaper and more convenient is going to be hugely productive.
Not quite. Perhaps a consumer of pornography consumes only what they already like. Personally, watching, say, bondage out of curiosity didn’t make me like the stuff.

> All of the profit generated in that secondary market would have gone to Nintendo if they'd managed their supply properly.

Untrue. The secondary market is currently selling units at a huge markup. I don't think we have a great indication at the moment on how fast the secondary market is moving; it's possible that, whilst Nintendo might have undervalued demand, the resellers are overvaluing it. As others point out, this also helps drive demand to an extent - it's a phenomenon Apple appears to take advantage of from time to time.
Thats what you're charging for it in Australia (AUD), which really, very high compared to other apps.
Oh! thanks for the tip! :)
No. I have been programming professionally for the last 30 years and I still enjoy it. I did get a bit fed of working for other people though. So I set up as an independent, selling my own software products (http://www.perfecttableplan.com and http://www.hyperplan.com) 11 years ago and never looked back. It was financially hard for the first 12 months, but now it pays better than I ever did in a permanent job. I probably spend about half my time programming now and the rest doing marketing and support. I don't have any meetings and no management BS. The biggest downside is having to take a laptop on holiday. But that seems a small price to pay for the freedom and lifestyle.

> The NSRL dataset has signatures that are typically used to verify both integrity and veracity.
> http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/RDS/rds_2.54/split-hash.txt

Can you explain this signature scheme? I'm not familiar with it. The link you provided just appears to show hashes and sizes for a file that has been split into four pieces.

> Alleging the NSRL is untrustworty is inconsistent with the track record of the NSRL and NIST scientists.

I'd just like to point out that neither I nor anyone else here has alleged that.

> Please be aware that there are thousands of forensic experts who have relied on the NSRL over the last decade or more as a basis for testimony in court. Those experts verify hashes for everything they do, and for every case, and as a result there has been significant amount of independent peer review of the contents.

I'm genuinely glad to hear that! That's good to know.

> While Codehash.db provides a hash for a package, the NSRL provides hashes for individual installed files.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Codehash.db is open to hashes for anything (source code, ISO, package, binary installer).

> This in no way diminishes the value of the Codehash.db design. They target different use cases.

Likewise, my remarks aren't meant to be in any way derogatory toward the NSRL. As far as I'm concerned, it's OK if they do, in the final analysis, target the same use case. If that's the case, the best solution should be adopted, whichever one that turns out to be. :)
> They've added a lot of value for people who really wanted the console to the extent that they were willing to simply pay $600 for it. Those people can now buy the console rather than having to dick around with the limited supply and hope they were lucky.

There is no value added when product scarcity is artificially promulgated by scalpers with no end-use intent. You've made the assumption that the supply status quo would exist without scaplers actively exploiting the market en masse, and I beg to differ...the difference is, as of this minute, I can point to over 5,600 reasons on eBay US alone[1] that support my argument.

You've clearly defined the value added in importing a product to a market where it's not normally sold: work which directly increases product availability. Scalpers do neither and instead play an unaccountable game of double penetration: first by creating artificial scarcity in the market, then again by immediately relisting at 10-fold markup within the very same market they've negated.

> We're talking about a videogame console here - and not even a value-for-money one, it's been a gimmick from the start.

Irrelevant. You are, of course, entitled to your own valuation of the product. Nintendo--who has made real investments in and rightfully owns the IP rights to--on the other hand, has clearly valued it at $60 for its end user, profit markups at the OEM and authorized distributor levels included. Scalpers do nothing more than profiteer, costing legitimate end users a proverbial shit ton more to acquire, and soiling the public image of a company which clearly intended to do well with its end users. On that note, I'll gladly take the time to piss all over the corn flakes of scalpers, the true root cause of this problem.

Reframing the debate can be useful - I actually agree with him wanting to use the term 'piecework subcontractor economy' rather than 'sharing economy' for example. That is replacing one term with certain connotations with another that is, at least in my view, more accurate. It's pushing people to use a descriptive term rather than a marketing term, and can add to a debate.

Wanting to call Uber 'Goober' or 'Guber' on the other hand, is just childish, and makes it hard to take anything else he says seriously.
Adding a project folder with approx. 50 000 files took 2-3 seconds, but the search-in-project functionality broke down, even UI response (when entering the search string). Takes several seconds per character to appear, as I try to input a search string.
It is, I think, my favourite Zelda game --- it looks superb, the characters work, the story's interesting (even Ganon actually comes across as a bit sympathetic!), fascinating dungeons, the world is endless fun to explore... I just kinda wish they'd finished it: they way the last part of the game devolves into a series of treasure hunts was disappointing. I gather they ran out of money and there was supposed to be another round of dungeons.

There are also some epic design failures: the biggest one, to me, is that the games give you the boat before it's ready to let you explore. Instead it walls off big chunks of the world to railroad you into going to Dragon Roost Mountain. As soon as I got the boat, of course, I headed straight for the nearest island to see what was there, hit a wall and was turned back. I found that showing me the open world and then not preventing me from going there, and in such a clumsy manner, was very disappointing. I think they'd have done better to have simply moved you to the island outside your control, and only let you take command of the boat once you pick up the baton.

A lot of what gives the game its character was the seamless loading between islands. Twighlight Princess, which was a perfectly decent game, seemed much smaller to me because of the endless constrained environments and loading screens.

Meanwhile, I still haven't finished Skyward Sword.
It is really frustrating to develop Office 365 Apps (pretty limited APIs) so I don't understand why they are not spending more resources on the API rather than the UI aspect. It seems like Microsoft is an unconnected company without cohesion.

If you have to ask you have no idea how important copyright law is.

Do you really want to live in a world where someone, anyone, can take something you've done and give it away to other people without your permission, or commercialize it and leave you with zero recourse?

Most people think copyright protection is for important, significant creative works like a book or a song, but it's equally important for less visible things. For example: A single method in your code that someone else appropriates.

If you had to register copyright for every line of code you wrote, you'd never get anything done.
"Why is there a reason to tax real estate property at 1% of its valuation per year? "

Because there is an acute supply problem in Vancouver real estate. Making them pay 1% for empty homes incents people to rent them out.

The same arguments do not apply at all to IP.

"First of all, so what if they run out? Other kinds of property also depreciate and we still tax them."

'Depreciation' and 'expiration of patents' are not the same thing at all.

A 'patent' is the exclusive right to own a piece of IP for a period of time, after which it's public domain. It's basically pointless to add on a 'wealth tax' to a patent - there is already a tax on royalties and that makes sense.

When you buy your property, it does not become 'public domain' after 10 years - it's a completely different economic vehicle.

"Second, copyright has effectively ceased to run out around 1970. So there is every reason to tax IP."

Copyright and patents are totally different things.

Someone who created a unique song, has the right to protect it for quite some time. Moreover - it was 'made famous' by them, i.e. it's a brand that is invested in.

Disney should be able to 'own' Mickey Mouse forever - they created it, and they back it. They spend billions supporting 'Mickey' and there's no reason someone else should be able to rip them off by selling clones. In much the same way fashion brands are protected.

Drugs, algorithms, other kinds of solutions, there is definitely a 'public good' in those things being public after some time, so it's fair that IP protections run out.
There are property taxes everywhere, not just in Vancouver. This is what I was referring to.

And actually, there IS a crisis of intellectual property. It is not a question of affordability, but rather of frivolousness, overreach and submarining. A tax is likely to solve some aspects of that.
Stallman is right on many points.

Uber, Airbnb, delivery services and the like are nothing more than glorified communication and payment tools.

These services can only be called "sharing" economy if they operate at zero profit and their app code is open source.

I think they should and pretty soon will be public services, developed by the community and run by local non profit organisations, like Firefighters.

Furthermore, these should be local services, catering to the specific circumstances of the city or town they operate in, obeying the local customs and so on.

> Uber has changed the regulations that cover charging passengers for making cars wait.
This decision itself may not be objectionable. Taxis typically charge for making them wait. But that regulation is set by a city agency which is at least somewhat responsible to the people. Uber is a business headquartered somewhere else, which accepts no responsibility to the people of any city.

We should not allow a company to privatize the making of the regulations that create our social order.

With all due respect for the Author (the article is seemingly a very nice one) there is the everstanding confusion between disk and partition/volume.
I had hoped that - particularly for something intended to explain things - I would have had not to read "format a disk".
Just in case, a disk is partitioned (in either MBR or GPT "style"), and the partition(s) or volume(s) on it thus created are later formatted with a given file system.

there are a lot of costs involved with enforcing property rights. It's not sewers but it is legal departments, customs offices and law enforcement officers.

Also, a patent takes space by disallowing me to use the same kind of invention (even if I came up with it independently). And a copyright sometimes stops me from being able to use a "cultural common". They most definitely take space. And real estate property taxes are often supplemented by "road maintenance levies". They don't directly support the property's infrastructure when you really look into it.

I both disagree and dislike both Trump and his supporters. Yet, I realize if you want to diversity of opinion like YC says it wants you can't throw people out when they annoy you. Diverse political discussion among laymen where no one gets annoyed essentially doesn't exist. Peoples opinions follow their perspective, what they understand and what they care about. Just as I take offense to what Trump says people who like Trump will take offense when people say he's a populist, racist or sexist. They will get frustrated and express themselves in ways that aren't productive, but also don't seem that bad to them since they don't think what Trump says is bad.

I've excluded people for less, but then I haven't as YC asked sometimes awkward people to be stressed out for a long period of time while saying that diversity of opinion is valued.

I'm not sure why these rants end up listing trivialities. Who cares whether it's called Activities, Menu, foobar or is a hamburger icon? It's what it does that matters, and what it does is pretty neat. Definitely better than Windows 10 attempt at the same thing.

That said, I don't use Gnome3 either. I use the task bar, AFAICT there is no way to have one in Gnome3 so it's a non-starter for me. Given they have a mostly empty bar at the top, I am buggered if I know why they don't provide some taskbar widget. It's worst reason I guess - religious objections.

The other thing I that causes me to curse it very time I use it its insane desire to maximise everything. Maximised everything is exactly what you need on a 6" phone, but gnome3 doesn't work well there. It clearly targeted at desktops. I use a 43" 4K screen. I paid for those pixels - and I want to put every one of them to good use. Maximising a single web page is not a good use.

Which means unlike a conventional window manager which remembers and respects where I put things, I have to reposition everything every fucking time I reboot. And if a window is hidden I can't just click on the task bar, either I have to move to top left corner then click or press a key.

This isn't "getting out of the way". This is shoving the designers idea of good work flow down my throat. If their goal was to get of out of the way of a "power user" (an archaic term, but it accurately described most Linux users) this is vision of an ideal work flow would be the default and they provide the tools to change it.

But those tools are completely absent. That arrogant omission is, gnome3 devs, why half the Linux world view you as mad control freaks.
