In the real universe, objective only ever exists relative to some set of observers.

You have proven nothing I said false, you merely interpreted the words I used in a way that does not treat the implication that some interpretations of words which do not admit the possibility for such concepts as human communication to exist, are flawed interpretations with respect to the set of observations about human communication that it is possible to make (which show that human communication does exist). That's the original fallacy I pointed out which you rejected as non-fallacious because you seem to not believe that it is possible to talk about consistency of agreement between sets of communicating humans in objective terms.

You think you've exposed a flaw in my argument but really you've just been spinning your wheels on misconstructions of what I said -- from my perspective either your interpretive process has misled you or you have engaged in a deliberate process of failing to communicate.
I've worked a half-day Friday schedule (in a factory situation where productivity is much more easily measured) and while the hours were _great_ for the workers, it played havoc with productivity and output. Most people basically slowed way down on Fridays because they knew that a) there wasn't much time to do anything so why not wait b) everyone else was slow so it would take even longer. Ideally in this situation, you would get more out of your workers on Mo-Thu but that didn't happen.

Instead, they went with a 9/80 schedule and it worked out great for management and the workforce.

Kodi is free software built by volunteers to bring videos, music, games and photographs together in one easy-to-use application.

Some shops sell legal set-top boxes and TV sticks, often called Kodi boxes, preloaded with the software.

The developers behind Kodi say their software does not contain any content of its own and is designed to play legally owned media or content "freely available" on the internet."

So is this like Popcorn time, then? Did the sellers break laws? Did the developers break laws?
Yeah I'm not totally sure what was meant by that. They're plain text, thus parsable.

Maybe they meant that browsers don't usually have access to the file system, but that's changing and also not applicable since they're using Electron and have NodeJS at their disposal.
No nation exists in a vacuum.
I'm not sure about the UK where these arrests occurred, but in the US it might fall afoul of the "making available" concept of US copyright law. In other words, the original content creator has the exclusive right to make the content available for public consumption, whether by paid or free streaming or download, and any other entity that makes the content available is in violation of copyright law. I'd be interested in the outcome of an arrest over Kodi boxes here in the States, especially if it were challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court, as the "loaded Kodi box" guys are not streaming the content themselves, only providing an easy path (and profiting).
My guess is they have a front with Nodejs for mobile.twitter.com and behind that you have all their scala/jvm microservices. Recoding all their microservices would be way too expensive. I don't think they use Nodejs for their RESTful API but I am curious to see more about that. Uber uses Nodejs for their GPS API so who knows...

Agreed. There are some interesting motions right now, that could be tipped to usher back a labor movement in a quick way.

The calls for a general strike on Feb 17, for one. The internet can be used to organize labor movements globally.

It just needs a little push at this point. No where near as hard to organize compared to when folks had to be in the same place.

A completely peaceful demonstration against the status quo could be achieved if enough folks simply... stopped going to work.
Very true. It's hard to just look to her for a plan out of our current problems. In my own city (LA), we've got to make up our mind on whether to encourage big projects such as: high-rises along transit corridors in Hollywood and elsewhere, wide busways and big metro stations along major streets, small-lot subdivisions of 1920s homes that sit on 10k sq. ft. lots, etc.

There is considerable overlap between her own "cantankerous individualism" in the face of City Hall and that of NIMBYs in my own city.
Ok, I guess I don't really care about redistribution for it's own sake - I only care about fixing poverty. I guess that's why we disagree.

Incidentally, your scheme wouldn't work so well in India. In India there are far fewer rich people (proportionately) than in the US. Europe needs to tax the middle class for much the same reason.

If you want to have massive wealth redistribution that skips the middle class, the only way to make that viable is to increase inequality.
The author lost credibility with this paragraph

Musk is very typical of the Silicon Valley technolibertarian mold. He was happy to take a $465 million government loan for Tesla Motors, then soon after paying it off, he was more than happy to speak out against government subsidies like the one he just paid back. This has been Silicon Valley’s modus operandi for years, of course: promoting the tech sector’s independence from and superiority to mundane governance, while relying on it. In a nutshell, this is the reality behind the myth of the “free market.”

The author doesn't understand the hidden subsidies on fossil fuels. If we were to bake in the cost of climate change and pollution into the price, solar energy would have never needed subsidies. And what is Musk supposed to do? Ignore and reject subsidies that are available? The author is grasping at straws here and should have done more research.

The reason is that they basically rely on using the Oniguruma regret engine, and reimplementing that in JS would be hella slow.

"It certainly isn’t any ordinary object or particle—that has long since been ruled out" is the first sentence of the second paragraph.
Hey Maarius, thanks for chiming in! I've had my eye on Cluvio for a while so I was gonna drop it in here to ask how the two compare.

For me, an open source core is a huge gesture of trust though. It's the ultimate "no lock-in strategy" guarantee. This business model has been proven sustainable by several SAAS companies, such as Automattic (WordPress.com), Discourse (which I work for), Sentry, Piwik and hopefully Redash well!

Any chance Cluvio will consider going down this path too?

It should go without saying given the state of the world at the moment:

People can believe some astonishing things; without making those things true.
The driving force behind it is that monitoring shouldn't fit into a mold. My thinking is that you should write a script to perform whatever mission critical thing your application provides, and monitor the output of that.

The review is pointless anyway, it's just useless stalling.

They already built 1,171 miles of it - do you think an environmental review is going to make a difference for the last 1 mile?

It doesn't matter if you are for or against this, the time to protest it was before they built it, not when it's basically done.
'When war is declared, truth is the first casualty' - Arthur Ponsonby

Our issue should focus on the war itself, and less on the many untruths that have propagated because of it. For me, a primary question is one of constitutional power of the president to wage war, and if legislative actions such as the Authorization of Use of Military Force are sufficient enough to meet those constitutional requirements for checks and balances. I've listened to as many debates and talks on the subject as possible, and I think there is a lot of nuance ignored by the more radical right and left than there should be. In the end though, my primary issue (as a combat vet) is the complete misdirection of the American people for the true reasons of the war(s).

If truth is the first casualty, that may be to be expected, but at least tell us the truth about the reasons for the war(s) in the first place, otherwise even the founders recognized the dangers of the power of the executive to unilaterally wage war and declare emergencies and in doing so violate individual liberties.

I will say this though; I'm tired of hearing Kissinger style realpolitik subscribers abusing Hanlons razor in dismissing the idea of malice in such actions, for at some point not only is incompetence indetinguishable from malice, but incompetence is ripe for manipulation and abuse from malice.

The question is then, who is the malicous group, and what are their intentions?

When it comes to redline, there are some factors which relate to true airspeed, not indicated. Smaller aircraft (maybe larger too, I'm just limiting it to "smaller" due to my own ignorance) at higher altitude tend to be limited by flutter (a situation where positive feedback from movements of the wings or other surfaces shakes the plane apart) which mostly depends on true airspeed. In my plane, for example, never-exceed speed (Vne) is 143kts indicated at sea level, 121kts indicated at 10,000ft, and a mere 73kts indicated at 36,000ft.

The 143kts figure is marked on my airspeed indicator, but above 10,000ft I have to remember to refer to it elsewhere if I want to go fast.

How China Lost $1 Trillion
It's certainly safer for the environment in general in terms of oil spills but the communities that would suffer from truck or trail spills are different from the communities that would suffer from pipeline spills. And since the former don't get to sue but the later do there's a certain pressure against pipelines in general.

But on the other hand pipelines are more cost effective than other means of transport. That means the oil gets to market more cheaply and that will tend to decrease the price of oil, meaning more is used, meaning more CO2 in the air. Raising the price by taxing oil would mean that we would get the double benefit of less oil use and government money to pay down the debt or whatever but that's harder to do politically than just block pipelines.
You need to provide some evidence that function dispatch is a limiting factor for Metal, if you're going to argue that it is a limiting factor.

Also you seem to be under the impression that because a machine is expensive it is destined for gaming.
The debate over the pipelines seems to be largely symbolic. The oil is going to get pulled out of the oilsands and transported either way, it only seems logical (and probably more ecological) to use a giant pipe instead of trucks/trains.

... damn. I'm a fan of message-driven systems (in theory, never actually worked on them in practice), but I will admit that "UDP multicast over TCP" sounds like a very appropriate description.

I need to think about it some more :)
No, not really. Apart from the reply above about bitkeeper, I'm not aware of any new or old (d)vcs that does "sub-modules" well.

There's AFAIK been some orgs working on mercurial in order to support large mono-repos - I don't know if it's better or worse than git today. I see that Illumos (opensolaris) have shifted from mercurial to git, for example:

https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/Mercurial+Workflow

(Solaris/Sun was a somewhat early adopter of "big" mercurial repos).

Working with big mono repos are not without challenges:
https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-merc...

FWIW I tried using sub-modules for mercurial some years ago - in the end I realized it was probably not worth it. I'm also skeptical about go's use of "vendoring" dependencies for a similar reason.
I'm wondering: when recording these movies, where do the director and film crew hide? :)

Yes, but Mars is easier to live on than the moon, because it has an atmosphere, it's a lot warmer and terraform-able.
It's one thing to sell a Vanilla Kodi box with no add-ons (i.e., a general purpose device) and something a whole lot different when it's got add-ons pre-installed that stream unauthorized copyrighted content.

The authorities in Canada have been chasing down Android Box sellers at the behest of the cable companies for pretty much the same reason. Most of them come with Showbox installed and preloaded Kodi channels that are pretty shameless about where they're getting the streams from.
Pipelines are much safer than trains or trucks at delivering oil or LNG. That subject is not up for debate.

The problem is that when you build this infrastructure, it comes along with long-term financial contracts. Which is to say, if you build it, you're gonna use it.

As a result, it discourages investments in other energy infrastructure projects. Once the pipeline is in, we are stuck with it until it ages out of usefulness or if green energy radically undercuts the profitability of fossil fuels such that the pipeline is abandoned. But because of those long-term financial contracts, the likelihood of the pipeline being abandoned is far less than it would have been if trucks were used instead.

Small short-to-medium-term risk, larger long-term risk.
Not to be pedantic, but the male form is actually also the neutral form in English; "their" is not actually correct. That said, I think it's entirely appropriate to use it in practice.
Networking Zine [pdf]
I guess you could stop calling it abuse at that point, but h1b participants are coming here for better opportunities which I think will often mean they are willing to work for much less than an American. Not saying whether this is good or bad, but I think this is the real target of the current administration, to make sure Americans are getting these jobs before immigrants.
There's full time and then there's full time.

You can certainly choose to work for a 40h company instead of a 60h company but the latter type of company doesn't seem to have any problems recruiting.

Interesting polls.

There might be several different forms of discontent; and that they seem the same to us, but are not very similar underneath. For example, the girl who bing-eats ice cream after her boyfriend breaks up with her is clearly not doing something that would be healthy on a regular basis.

This might be vaguely like physical exercise, where a small amount is good for you, but too much causes your body to break.
In my view, each method needs to be justified on its own merits, since there is no a priori entitlement to extract and ship the oil in the first place. There's also no good justification for burdening the public with the risk of the pipeline, just because it replaces a greater risk somewhere else.

If the pipeline is safe, prove it. If the trains and trucks are safe, prove it. If neither, then leave the oil in the ground.

One my favorite 360 videos is this Charity Water short documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlVIsVfWwS4. Specifically because it's very interesting and immersive to look around.

Another good one is the SNL Seinfeld monologue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HS9h4xFRww. Because of the audience participation you crane your neck around to see who's talking.
I agree 100%, I'm a lot happier with it for personal projects especially once I got the hang of it, and you get a lot of web tools that are baked into it nicely. The only concern going into it was knowing that I couldn't change/undo previous history but since using it I actually think that is a version control feature you want (assuming you don't slip in a password) so you don't risk losing previous data, you just have to be more thorough in looking at what you are committing.

> Space migration:

As far as we know, Earth is home to the only life in the universe. It seems likely that microbial life is abundant, but as yet we lack proof. Animal life may be incredibly rare. Intelligent life, rarer still. A lack of such life is a compelling answer to the Fermi paradox. You seem to have some undefined idea of the purpose of humanity. I am not sure what that purpose would be if not to spread life into a cold, empty universe.

From a more practical point of view, we can't screw up the biosphere or atmosphere of the moon. We probably can't screw up Mars too badly, either, in the short term. Both these places can spare Earth further environmental damage as our demand for resources continues to grow. And what we learn constructing and maintaining artificial biospheres will probably provide new insights into protecting, rehabilitating, and maintaining the Earth.
Shameless plug: my implementation of Sublime's syntax highlighting engine in Rust has similar optimizations and more. I'm not at my computer to benchmark on the same files but it should be >2x as fast as their "after" numbers just based on lines/second for JS-like files.

This evening I'm even trying to port it to a pure Rust regex engine that should eliminate non-Rust code and make it substantially faster.

It also implements the sublime-syntax format which is a superset of tmlanguage that allows even nicer highlighting.

I think you misunderstand corporate personhood. It absolutely includes all the things I mentioned.

Yes and that is why selling a Kodi box isn't the issue.

The issue is taking that general purpose Kodi box then making and marketing it as a way to "watch free Sky TV!" and such. The issue isn't that it is a Kodi box but that it is modified and sold with the primary (one could maybe argue sole) purpose of violating copyright.
Exactly the point. Let the market set the salary cut offs would be much more logical than just set salary value for the entire country.
I have plenty of dreams about problems I'm working on. I usually end up dreaming of a way to solve them too.

Though I did have this one dream where I was able to open up a virtual console next to anyone I saw and could program them to do whatever I felt like. I could do this with just random objects too, not just people. That'd be an interesting game idea now that I think about it.
Thats what came to my mind too. Which is sad. I definitely dont want passengers exposed to more risk, but I'm also against "its policy" kind of rules that squelch people from having fun and exposing more people to aviation.
So, You Think You’re Doing DevOps?
Kodi's developers didn't, no. The way the streaming boxes work is they add a bunch of piracy streaming plugins to a Kodi installation. It's not easy for casual users to do this though. If you download Kodi today you can't just access that stuff. You need to enable access to unknown source plugins then find the plugins (and hope they aren't doing anything nefarious), download them and install them in Kodi. It's essentially the same as Android.

Kodi does have a lot of plugins to access a wide variety of free content (nearly 400 video content plugins alone). You can see what is available here: http://addons.kodi.tv/

As far as I understand it, the pipeline being fought over symbolically rather than for reasons that make analytic sense. If there's an environmental argument, it's that the pipeline will make using shale sands oil from Canada cheaper which is a Bad Thing because we use more stuff when it's cheaper.

The correct approach would be to make fees and penalties for environmental impact higher (carbon tax, EPA able to levy big fines for oil spills, etc.) and then let the market figure it out rather than fight like crazy over specific cases.

Now, as to the subject of the pipeline running through native american territory because white people were (justifiably) worried about their drinking water if it ran through their watershed -- that's a whole different issue.
I don't have a definite answer, but I've noticed that the plants in my garden are limited by light, and not anything else.

So I suspect extra CO2 won't make a difference.
