Awesome. Note that this isn't merely a fine, but also comes with the stipulation that they "prominently disclose and obtain affirmative express consent for its data collection and sharing practices, and prohibits misrepresentations about the privacy, security, or confidentiality of consumer information they collect". And they need to destroy the data collected before March, last year.

That's pretty good! At the very least, this will make it so people are more aware of the constant telemetry. Some find that sort of feature useful, and others find it chilling, but at least this is a step in the direction of making it obvious.
I've been using the framework to practice rust and it's really pleasant. I would compare this to "flask" from Python. I've got an experimental static site cms (for my clients eventually) where the administration back end is a dynamic library so I can update the back-end without stopping the serving of the website to the public. Really fun learning experiment and crazy fast server overall. For now, I still use Go, but Rust's meta features are so much more advanced that I'm working on switching.
Well, from first glance, you're lowest plan is more expensive than imgix's $10/mo minimum. I see now that you have a free plan and I get that you're following the SaaS pricing plan status quo, but if you claim to be a lower-cost competitor, you should make the free plan more prominent.

I have a lot of media-heavy side projects. I use Cloudinary for 1 and imgix for the rest.

It's really hard to compare you price-wise to imgix because you are charging based differently.

One thing I like about imgix is that I can give them access to an S3 bucket and perform transformations on master images that aren't public-read.
No, it still works this way, but society has put in place rules and regulations defining what is allowable and what isn't.

Companies can cut costs by dumping waste in a river and burning garbage, too, but we don't let companies do that any more. If a company wants to operate in a country then they need to obey the laws of that country.

Trump forgot that the USSR once had a massive superiority in military forces in the European theatre (over 2-1 vs. NATO). The breakup of the USSR made Europe tremendously safer. Now Trump is going to let Putin recapture the Ukraine and restore much of his missing military edge, while undercutting NATO.

It's like he's inviting Putin to just invade Poland. How is that going to end?
Socialization behaviors are often heavily skewed by human sexuality and mating motivations, though. Whether we like it or not, men and women DO have different body parts and different reproductive roles, and that DOES effect social behavior.
Deploying this at global scale was more than just changing some config and walking away. I'm sure things went wrong, changes had to be rolled back, lessons were learned. "just include the code", seriously, do you even deploy apps at scale?

How about simply allowing H-1Bs to change jobs if they get an offer from another company, and giving them a sufficient window to find something new if they leave their current company? The no-recourse indentured servitude relationship that makes people dependent on a company for their residency takes away all the employee's negotiating power. If we could change this, I expect that wages would begin to even out.

> Flying is not a valid commute solution and never will be because of physics.

For reference, a Cessna 172 flies around 110 knots = 125 miles per hour, and uses about 10 gallons per hour, so it gets about 12 mpg.

Granted, that's pretty bad, but that's about 1950's technology, and it's not orders of magnitudes.

And in 3D you have MUCH more space (in fact, one reason that there are so relatively few mid air collisions is just the fact that "the sky is big".)

So, I don't think aviation is out a priori "because physics".

> For the auth-requiring RethinkDB server, am I obligated to provide source to the entire internet because everyone can connect to it?

Anyone who can use it must be granted the source. Whether the ability to open a socket connection counts or not is up for debate. Note, the GPL doesn't require you provide the sources gratis, you can charge reasonable cost of distribution so you aren't eating the bandwidth bill. You could also just provide a link to your github repository.

> The GPL does not require me to provide build tooling / instructions to people who merely use the product, only recipients of the built code. If I don't distribute it, I'm not obligated to do a good job with my build tooling.
>
> If I port RethinkDB to some proprietary OS where I'm not allowed to redistribute the build tooling, am I effectively forbidden from running it in a public-facing way?

With the AGPL users are effectively recipients of the built code. So, yes, if you are unable to provide your build scripts (note, the tools you call to build do not have to be open source, but the instructions/scripts used to build must be) then you are forbidden from using the product.

> Does that conflict with "the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose"?

The A/GPL is designed to protect the freedoms of users, the AGPL changes the definition of user from "the person executing the binary" to "the person interacting with the software". The change of this definition doesn't conflict with that, it clarifies the intent of this freedom when a project chooses the AGPL over the traditional GPL license.

"Modern standard" or not, I find this piece of code highly readable, and, in general, very good for what it does, at the level (of simplicity, perhaps even "primitivism") at which it was intended to do that.
Totally incorrect. People spend billions of dollars every year trying not to be fat anymore. [0] I also contend that while more liberal places often have less obesity, it's not like the problem is non-existent there; they still have ~20-25% obesity, which is 1 in 4, which is A LOT of obese people everywhere. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard there.

It's not that obese people don't care or don't know, or that they enjoy living an unhealthy lifestyle. There's a lot of complex factors that are involved, but the basic factor is this: humans are evolved to strongly prefer high calorie foods, and we've made high-calorie foods available in unprecedented quantities while also requiring less physical energy expenditure than ever before. Our bodies don't know how to deal with that.

It's been thoroughly proven over the last 30 years that self-control can't be relied upon to prevent this. When you throw someone into a situation where all of their biological functions are pushing them toward acquiring a biological reward that is so abundant they have to actively avoid it, the options are very limited. That person is going to have a lot of difficulty refraining from acquiring the reward. That's true for everyone, and the issue is generally only avoided if your body has never learned the reward in the first place or if you've trained your body to forget the reward (and in both of these situations, as soon as your body learns to desire that reward, you're back at risk).

We need a solution that a) constrains the supply of hyper-caloric foods, which is not practical, because again, if it's available, good luck keeping it out of peoples' hands; or b) modifies either the foods or the consumers of said food so that the excessive calories are neutralized and the same neurological rewards are obtained.

> For graphics, everyone still use Adobe products which are not that bad but still few had changed in Photoshop and Illustrator from 1991.

As a designer I can tell you Serif is doing great things already. Affinity Designer is a solid Illustrator replacement, most of my printed work for clients comes out of that. People are excited about Affinity Photo and Publisher, which are Photoshop and InDesign replacements.

Not to mention UI/UX which is pretty much dominated by Sketch, with very few people using the Adobe equivalent (Xperience Design or whatever it's called).

The biggest issue is compatibility though: the vast majority of teams exchange files in .psd, .ai, .indd which are proprietary formats, so there's lots of reluctance to change and difficulties collaborating if someone uses a different thing. It's a bit like Microsoft Office versus all the other formats, open or not.
American bank accounts are the only way to get USD out of a PayPal account; PayPal will refuse to send anything but CAD to a Canadian bank account, regardless of what currency the account holds.

Since my organization mainly operates with USD, and many of its paying users really like PayPal, a US bank account was a necessity.

As for gotchas... be aware that directors cannot hire-and-fire each other unless they also happen to be the corporation's voting members or hold its voting shares. This might be weird to wrap your mind around if you've only been a sole proprietor before, and is why I advise consulting with a lawyer if you plan to split up control.

"But that's my point - the question in this trial wasn't whether the State can use closed standards as law, but whether someone can violate the copyright of these standards just because the State refers to them in the law."

The answer is yes.
:)

At best, it's a taking.

"My point exactly! They should be suing the State for doing that! Not trying to invalidate some company's copyrighted standard."

You have this very backwards, in the sense that the organization deliberately worked with the states to make this happen.

You would have a better argument if the states had forced it to happen.

In any case, you also have "who should sue who" wrong.

1. You can't sue the states in federal court they have sovereign immunity ;)
But if you could ....

2. At best, this is a taking by the state. It's the problem of the standards folks to sue the state, not the problem of the rest of the world of trying to use the law.

The article assumes rational behavior with regard to everything except which methods of committing crimes are possible and concludes that punishing impossible attempts creates a rational disincentive to all attempts.

It's right in a game-theory sense, but not a practical one. Proving intent to a jury is based on circumstantial evidence. Shooting a gun at someone is strong evidence of intent to murder because it is widely known that guns are lethal. Countering the weight of that evidence would require very convincing evidence that the shooter did not believe his actions would be lethal. Proving that someone believed burning a voodoo doll would be lethal would be very difficult since it is widely known that burning voodoo dolls is not lethal. Even apparent evidence that the voodoo practitioner had a genuine belief is easily played off as an act, and in criminal law, the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant.

There's also the matter of people having mistaken beliefs about the probability of punishment.

I think that's way too high level. It seems to me that this paper is discussing learning at the level of memorization or motor skills. I would think that behaviors like egoism can't be reliably connected to something at this level.
> Fold/unfold terms/trees (code folding, but for expressions rather than lines)

Emacs can hide/show blocks in Lisp expressions (and others). Install HideShow (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HideShow). I personally never use it, generally the right solution is to refactor (but there might be good use cases too).

> As a more elaborate idea, we could allow plugins to extend the tree/graph structure with "virtual" nodes, e.g. linking names to their definitions, documentation, tests, etc. as if they were code-folded parts of the source code.

Basically, when working from Emacs through Slime, the Common Lisp backend (called Swank) injects such metadata to the runtime objects (source file if a file exists, original code, documentation). You could define your very own properties if you want, like how a particular form should be displayed to the user.
What already exists, for example, is a way to define custom indentation rules for macros, which are used on the Emacs side to indent your code as you wish.

Slime also decorates values in the buffer so that they act as "presentation" objects (https://www.common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Presentat...).
You're absolutely right! The researcher acted in a questionably ethical manner here by waiting to disclose the vulnerability. The only ethical approach is full and immediate public disclosure.

Until they actually do need to change the tire. Typically, though - long before they notice - they become a footnote (and horrifying image) on "/r/justrolledintotheshop".

Seriously - take a look at that sub-reddit - there are so many who know absolutely nothing about automobiles.

For instance there's also a thread on some specific model car site about a guy who needed to change his oil, and somebody trolled him to flush out the old oil by running the engine and dumping -water- thru the fill hole and out the pan - needless to say, then engine was ruined. While they identified who told him to do that, nobody could believe that anyone who was attempting an oil change would do such a thing - but there you have it.

It be like somebody asking how to restore a file they deleted, and telling them to remove the drive, turn it upside down, and smack it hard with a hammer, then re-install it. There are more than a few people who would actually do such a thing! And yes, I know about the old trick to free up an aging MFM hard drive...
Evaluating yourself as a Product Manager

For anyone considering this who has an American criminal record, even a misdemeanor (!), understand that it is extraordinarily easy to become permanently barred from Canada if you don't perform the immigration steps correctly. There is an official bribe of up to $1,000 that must be paid before you can even be considered, and unless you are exactly truthful to a fault the Canadians can find cause to permanently and irrevocably bar entry. They have access to American criminal databases and you will be checked, and turned back, at the border for even a day trip. (This bugs me by itself. I didn't harm your sovereign state.)

I know of one person who will never in her life see Canada because she got the paperwork about a twenty-year-old misdemeanor wrong, even after the $1,000 appeal to the Minister. Definitely get a lawyer. The fetish for American criminality is one thing about Canadian immigration that I would hope to see reformed. Canada is very welcoming unless you've had a taste of American justice, then they make you work very hard to enter. Caring about criminal records is common, of course; having direct access to neighboring criminal records is not, among most world countries.

Given that a number of American states are law-and-order criminal record factories, and given that a criminal record is not necessarily indicative of someone's life (if it were, I'd be selling heroin instead of debugging right now), it seems time for Canadians to revisit this policy. I'm guessing there was a flood of cons to Canada at some point that made them skittish and enshrine a bunch of hoops in legislation. With a lot of Americans now looking for possibilities such as these in the current environment, there is a huge reform opportunity here to make Canada even more welcoming.

Still feel they aced it. No one passes Jepsen on their first try. But RethinkDB is the first to immediately fix the issue.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a nasty issue. It would only happen if you got node failures while reconfiguring your cluster. And reconfiguring the cluster must be initiated by the admin and it's something that happens very often.

But say John logs in at work and buys something from Amazon, if he went through an affiliate program Amazon would pay it.

So if the affiliate program was based on the companies intranet redirecting traffic wouldn't they receive money? I agree it wouldn't be large, but in aggregate the company could make some money off of it at no cost to them.
I'm interested in marketing brochures of said companies. Pray tell where can I find it?
My formal training is in mechanical engineering and economics. You are completely right about the gradual reduction in cost and increases in efficiency over time for all mechanical technology.

There are two things I feel you neglect:

a) These increases happen in parallel, meaning that as air vehicles get better so too do ground vehicles. Meaning it's unlikely for the relative advantage of cars to change with technology improvements.

b) I can state the last sentence because of the physics and engineering fundamentals that go into ground and air vehicles. There are hard and fast limits to the physical world, air vehicles have to butt up against a lot more of them than ground vehicles do.
A tree is a pair of a value and a list of trees.

The "list of trees" part is what's constant about trees; the value is what makes it hard. What's a value? A name? A string? A text? Either a text, or a name and a map of strings to strings (simplified HTML)? A General Purpose Tree Editor would have to handle all those cases, and a whole lot more.
