I'm curious how you believe the GPL has overstepped regarding patents in the context of a copyleft license.

GPLv2 says very little directly about patents, only touching on the topic by saying that they're not an excuse for not complying. That implies some things for patent holders on relevant topics but isn't explicit about it.

GPLv3 basically makes those implications explicit, stating clearly that if you hold or license any relevant patents you must be able to freely license them downstream.

To me that stuff is implied with copyleft, because how else could it work? Since patents restrict my ability to legally redistribute the code, and the whole point of copyleft is to ensure my ability to legally redistribute the code, I don't see how they're separable as long as software patents remain being a thing.
Well said. Models do not contain reality: reality contains models. Do not confuse the map with the territory, and all you have are maps.

NYC Tech Leaders Oppose Trump Immigration Ban
You are mistaken on US regulation. They did not meet NOX emission limits in the US. Europe has stricter fuel regulation, less strict emission regulation so it was probably cool there. Every TDI model over there is usually tuned for better performance.

Oh well, my chariot of lies gets bought back in 2 days. Best investment ever in a car! Since I got my parents and 4 other friends to buy TDI's too when they saw the mileage I was getting, they are all ecstatic that the cars are getting bought back at well over market. Imma buy a Chevy Cruze Diesel once the standard hatchback gets released. Until then I'll find a pre-ban TDI or maybe some other beater to get me through the year.

Added bonus: They tried to cheat me out of repairing the cheater emission system that failed just outside of the federal emissions warranty at 60k miles. I told them if they could program it to cheat, they could program it to overheat the DPF and cause it to crack and fail. Got a free replacement from that :)

Added bonus #2: Since I also suggested my parents get one before the scandal broke, they tried to cheat them out of a AdBlue urea heater (piss tank heater) claiming it would not be repairable under federal emissions because it wasn't directly a part of the emissions. The company finally bowed to the massive number of complaints on tdiclub and related forums and covered that as well.
really cool, great work! any plans to relax macOS 10.12 as a hard requirement?
Then eventually they'll just go out of business. That's how it works. It won't matter what you think the medallion is worth if market prices determine its worth something else.

I'm confused why employees are walking out and protesting at their place of work that had nothing to do with the travel ban and which actually opposes it.

Wouldn't this have been better done with a trip to LAX or another international airport to protest, or at least an office that has some relation to the government?

I knew Yonatan at Google - he was one of the key Search people when I started there - and I would consider him an eminently reasonable person. He is not at all prone to knee-jerk responses without having good cause.

While I agree that a lot of the media headlines (in particular, calling it a blanket Muslim ban) have been hyperbolic, the facts of the case should provide plenty of concern on their own. You have an executive order that has prevented legal permanent residents of the U.S. from returning home to their families, specifically applied to them over the advice of DHS lawyers by un-elected members of the Presiden's NRC, and police forces that have refused to honor a court order from the judicial branch of the government. You don't need to draw any grand conspiracy theories to be concerned about this.
Hmm, sorry for misinterpreting, but I disagree that we're in bad shape. Free software has never been more popular. I've never been able to do more with 100% free software than right now. I owe my career to free software. The threats are great, I agree, but we will keep fighting.

It has more to do with risk management coming out of the finance dept.

The studio knows that a sequel will have a guaranteed $ minimum return
just because it is a sequel. Hence they can estimate how much to sink
into production to guarantee a profit. Then they green light the movie production
for that budget.

Same goes for the cast. The studio finance dept can look at previous years data
and predict that $ million will be guaranteed to be made just because the movie
stars Jennifer Aniston or Adam Sandler. Irrespective of the what the movie is about.
Just because people see the name and wander into the theatre while on a date or
buy the DVD for $15.99 at the grocery store. This provides a target production
budget for green lighting the movie. Then they hire a director and try to
figure what the story will be about.

The China market also affects cast and story. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R-FQTY4KJk

IANAPhysicist, but I think T-duality in String Theory [1] also makes distances "illusory".

"If string theory is a correct theory of Nature, then this implies that on some deep level, the separation between large vs. small distance scales in physics is not a fixed separation but a fluid one, dependent upon the type of probe we use to measure distance, and how we count the states of the probe." [2]

Brian Greene also explains why in an accessible way in the Chapter 10 of The Elegant Universe [3], which I recommend.

The first iOS app I built used parse for the entire backend. We basically used it as a database in the cloud accessible by multiple clients (it can accommodate fancier uses as well). We didn't really run any custom code on the server side, Parse basically provided access to a shared db across our client instances. It allowed us to build a simple location sharing app in a few hours.
You don't get to "agree to disagree" about literal numbers. You are literally and inarguably wrong. There is a difference.
BMW most certainly does not "have their shit figured out". I was quoted 15,000.00 for a new engine which turned out to be completely unnecessary. An independent shop replaced two spark plugs for $40.00 and fixed the misfire that a BMW dealer told me was caused by a bent intake valve.

BMW NA told me that there was nothing they could do and that they "stand behind their dealers". All manufacturers leave a lot to be desired on the customer service front.

While this is possible, longer credits mean more filmstock to be duplicated and fewer showings per theater screen, so there is an economic incentive to keep them as short as possible.

Giuliani (or the reporter) may have dropped a qualifier that would change the meaning

It's from a televised interview. You're free to watch it yourself. There's no need to speculate on anyone's internal state of mind.

As for the possibility that Giuliani misspoke, everyone is aware that Muslim immigration is a highly contentious issue. This requires careful, considered speech. It was either intentional (and purposefully misleading if disingenuous) or sloppy. During the interview, the interviewer even prefaced the question asking if it was about religion, giving Giuliani an opportunity to state upfront that it wasn't about religion. The first thing he said was the quote above, that he was asked to implement a Muslim ban.

Looking back, the Trump campaign was all over the map with respect to the Muslim ban, which started out as

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-...

This NBC piece has a collection of different positions (unfortunately without links to sources) that the Trump campaign has taken on the Muslim ban.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/full-list-dona...

It's difficult to determine what exactly is Trump's position on this, or anything else, in my opinion. He's also been known to flat-out lie without feeling a need to correct himself later. He's also been shown to be very good at saying what he thinks his supporters want to hear more brazenly than few other politicians I can remember.

At this point, I no longer think it's wise to give him the benefit of the doubt. I agree that we should also watch very closely the actual actions being taken.

Here are some past actions that I keep in mind when judging whether to give him the benefit of the doubt in doing the right and ethical thing:

- Trump University and its affiliated lawsuits

- Refusing to release his tax returns, a practice in transparency followed by presidential candidates for years

- Promising to "Drain the Swamp", yet his cabinet and other staff include a number of insiders, both government and corporate

- Refusing to adequately and cleanly distance himself from his investments upon attaining office

I commend your reasoned and considered approach, and encourage you to continue to do so. You've brought up concerns such as "The question is how hunch damage to personal liberties in pursuit of this goal", and are careful to avoid expressing your own opinion. I understand that as well, and appreciate that this may be a desire to withhold judgement until seeing additional evidence. For my part, I'll continue to strive for reasoned consideration, but I'm no longer willing to err exclusively on the charitable side. I've seen enough that I no longer feel it's prudent to withhold judgement or grant him the benefit of the doubt.

There are some little things a Mac Mini has that you can't get by just (essentially) Hackintoshing a NUC.

For example, Apple's custom UEFI, plus a Bluetooth controller that boots in HID mode and loads configured pairings from NVRAM, allows you to "hold down [key combination] at boot" on your Mac Mini's Bluetooth keyboard.

Or the fact that all the desktop Mac models have internal speakers (and not just the motherboard PC speaker kind) and internal microphones, so OSX can guarantee it always has those devices available to use to play system event notification sounds, or for Siri, or for FaceTime, or for visual-impairment accessibility tooling, etc.

Or the fact that you can still plug FireWire or DisplayPort devices into a Mac Mini through its Thunderbolt port (with a passive adapter to map the pins) and the motherboard will happily accept the device; whereas no PC would have any idea what to do with those wire protocols, even if you plugged them into the port of an explicit Thunderbolt PCIe card you bought.

If you could get these things from a NUC, then sure, there'd be no point in the Mac Mini.
The laws arent the issue, nor even the punishments. The issue is a lack of enforcement. We have plenty of cops handing out speeding tickets but the number dedicated to "white collar" or "technology crime" in each state might only be a handfull. And dont try suggesting more IRS, EPA or FBI agents. In this political climate those federal agencies are seen more as criminals themselves.
Are you referring to Apple's actions, or the 2012 law that prohibits them from supplying (directly or indirectly) goods, technology, or services to Iran:

We will simply see the truth of the affair in the reality of the supply contraction and the volatility in wages post-execution of the H!-B programme, then we will know for sure if the people paying us or the people are are either grossly misinformed or were outright lying to us depending on the events that take place, depending on the degree of volatility on the price of software we will get an idea for what the supply of workers was and how much they were suppressing wages or weren't and that will give us some insight into the meta-game as it is taking place to-day.

This is akin to Isaac Levi's "Mild Contractions" in formal epistemology where you contract beliefs/situations to see what happens to the phenomena to get accurate information, I think that is a correct statement regarding Mr. Levi.
That cannot work at all!

See inside /bin/parse-server:

require("../lib/cli/parse-server");

The same with the package.json, it points to /lib/index.js.

However there is no /lib folder, apparently its name is /src. So there is basically no possible way that is even able to run. How is this possible? Either someone linked /src to /lib (doesn't make sense) or they changed the name of the folder and didn't change anything else.

> The drivers can work for Uber, and arguably earn as much as they did before.

That's not my understanding. I've read that they earn less, and drivers I talk to say it's hard to make money. Also remember that Uber drivers are contractors and get no benefits or other employee protections. Uber does place plenty of stories and op-eds saying otherwise, but I need to see some actual data.
I was in an airport yesterday on business and encountered protesters who had organized via the internet and came out during a snowstorm. I don't know if that's what you meant by "hashtag protests," but the protests made the national news, and if enough people protest, maybe it moves the needle a little bit.

It is certainly a heck of a lot more effective than making pointlessly cynical comments like yours from behind a computer monitor.
The better question would be "If you are a startup not tied to a linux stack would you use .NET (Not necessarily core)."
.NET Core is definitely not ready for prime time. It will be eventually. I believe many are confusing what solution is correct for the job.

Most startups are not going to be purchasing hardware for a hosted solution but instead will use cloud servers ala azure or aws heck even google cloud. .NET is supported on all of them.

.NET has great tool, is now open source both standard and core, widely supported, and unless you plan on running linux or mobile then why not?
Found this on the Parse CEO's LinkedIn profile[1]:

"Facebook acquired the company for ~$100m in April 2013, intending to build a business akin to Amazon Web Services, and we operated for two years as a semi-independent subsidiary.

Facebook ultimately chose to exit the hosting business but Parse continues to thrive as an open source project with official support at Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, etc."

Was this widely reported? I never knew that the internal plan with FB's Parse acquisition was to build an AWS competitor. Kind of interesting!

I guess it was viewed as a hedge in case the FB on-platform advertising revenue didn't grow as fast as they were predicting.

Sounds like you could have delayed sleep phase disorder/syndrome. It's just having a delayed circadian rhythm - not really a disorder except that it's hard to fit in with 'normal' schedules.

I have a lot of issues with this (my circadian rhythm delay is pretty bad). My employer tolerates me coming in at 10am but even then I'm still suffering symptoms of sleep deprivation pretty constantly and don't feel like I can survive without sleeping in to midday on Saturdays and Sundays...

It's a frustrating condition to have, because while research into circadian rhythms has generally found that you can't fight against your natural sleep cycle long-term without experiencing sleep deprivation, pretty much everyone who has a normal cycle will tell you that you just have to "be more disiplined", "just wake up the same time every day and you'll get into a better routine", etc. Even most GPs I've talked to aren't up-to-date with the latest research and it's been really hard to convince them to refer me to a sleep specialist! It's also especially bad at work, because management tend to be older (sleep cycles are usually at peak delay during adolescence, and then shift earlier as you age) and seem to have an impressive ability to not understand the condition. But if the science is to be believed, what people tell me is about as effective as telling a severely clinically depressed person to "just be happier."

But even for people with more normal (average) cycles, one sleep scientist has suggested [1] that work shouldn't start until 10am, which would make people more productive and more alert.

1. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/03/12/staff-should-s...
I have the same issue. I progressively sleep and wake later and later until I wake up around 1pm. I then force myself to reset my cycle and go to sleep before 2am.

I work from home and I have a lot of flexibility since I live in a different timezone from my clients so I make that work but it is frustrating for my wife. Workouts don't really seem to help much, melatonin seems to improve things slightly.

Say, this is also the situation with the quality of our knowledge relative to situations like that of self-driving cars and how they will effect the economy, superficially, but also pervasively, say.... (let the following be a few elements of the set of statements relevant to the affair of {economic effects of self driving cars}

* What will happen to traffic

* The amount of automobile deaths

* The degree of the impact

* The decrease in cost of shipping materials

* Commodity prices relative to the materials here

* Allegedly the primary value of self driving cars does not occur initially, but when we can organize cities around self-driving cars, like we did with electricity, and then reap the benefits. So place your bets boys.

We will say, compare current expectations of the affair relative to what happens and we will have a very modern gauge for the quality of our knowledge in post-industrial civilization/complex-systems. This'll be a real good gauge because a lot of money is riding on this, commodity prices, you know, the entire thing. And then we will know if we should trust our experts relative to the next situation that happens, the reason why this is a big deal is that such a massive change will not occur like this(likely) for awhile, this is like another industrial revolution.

I think it'll be an interesting affair. The reason this type of reasoning is really important is because we really need an accurate gauge of the quality of our economic knowledge and just the field of economics && the current experts we have in general, because we are using that very same subject to reason about this affair, say the effects of changes in the current Visa programme, if the effects are literally nothing like the standard theory, then non-mainline economic reasoning is just fine/dandy to use the next time and we cannot suppress those people next time. etc. (and all other sets of statements that apply to the current affair, i would never only mean what i only said.
FWIW, the drive software on the car is independent of the displays. So, pressing the pedal, braking and steering is probably very well tested. I've had the main drivers screen crash on me and I have no idea how fast I'm going (follow the car in front of you) while the screen takes 1 minute to reboot.

But you're right about the QC. Although, I don't think Tesla is alone in this, every startup developing autonomous software (uber, cruise, google) will probably have their own unique quirks.
