IMO it's a very good law for the population/nation/citizens. Ignoring that it will help small businesses, being able to do what you want with the things you bought should be a right, not a privilege. The government exists for stuff like this. If they don't interfere, then what?

Hi, can you give me the sources/reasoning behind your statement?

I have first hand sales experience with luxury brand vehicles (read: RR/Bentley price class). Technology oriented US customers love Tesla. Sure, top notch luxury is nice, shiny and gives a unique experience, but at the end it is a different kind of experience from that a Tesla customer seeks. At the end, they buy both.
I don't see why it's my responsibility to see Youtube makes money. If they didn't want me to consume the content, they would have a model in which you can't view the content without subscribing for a fee. And yet Google knows about adblockers and continues this model, suggesting that they are fine with people skipping the ads. I assume you do not download things you do not want, so I am merely doing the same thing.

But even that is beside the point. I believe it's fine for me to access whatever information that people release. I see no moral problem here, and I will choose what the bandwidth I pay for is spent on.

I think this is a good observation and deserves more attention. Everybody loves Orwell, on both sides of the Great American Culture War.

During the election campaign I saw my US friends to compare Trump speeches to Two Minutes of Hate from the 1984 book. It was funny, I remarked, because the Trump-leaning people I occasionally argue with in the Internet had been calling angry Twitter users attacking various Republicans or Brendan Eich of Mozilla or whoever was the target of the latest scandal a social media version of Two Minutes of Hate years earlier. Then I wondered about where the Gamergate lashing out at "immoral journalists" fit in.

Is Orwell popular today because everyone loves to metaphorically hit their enemies with a famous author who described famous dystopia, or is it because both sides are equally guilty, well, I don't know.

My personal favorite dystopian author is Ray Bradbury and Fahrenheit 451. It is a book about an age where it's not the totalitarian government that burns books, but people who don't want to read books because they might be uncomfortable with the old ideas they might find, preferring spending their time in a room covered by flat screens, talking with their 'friends'. Quite remarkable for a book written in 1950s.
Why are you invoking python through a shell call inside of a PHP script, instead of just doing all of that with PHP directly?
There already is a tall wall in some parts. According to a border patrol agent the Mexicans just showed up with long ladders. Shortly border patrol had collected so many ladders that they had as giant pile at their station. They soon have up at even collecting the ladders.

I don't think giving up on securing the border is the right thing to do either. But doing something super expensive that was tired and didn't work doesn't seem like a good idea. Maybe we could instead try to innovate. Maybe small, autonomous drones that patrol the border might be a approach worth trying. I also heard that they are just lacking the resources to process people who were caught in a timely manner and they ended up staying for years. That sounds worthwhile addressing as well before we spent tons of money on a wall. Or we might even stop the war on drugs which would undermine the Mexican cartels, make Mexico saver and reduce push effects for illegal immigrants.

The article mentions the Canadian health care system, which I can speak of, since I live in Canada.

In Canada, most health care is paid for by provincially funded systems which pay health care providers directly. Here in Ontario, our system is called OHIP. Canada also places limits on drug prices.

The system is mostly working. If you need routine or critical care, you get it. But there are some issues. If you need expensive medical care for a condition that isn't killing you right now -- hip replacements are the common example here -- you can expect to wait quite a while because only so many treatments are funded every year. Some people who have such conditions do travel abroad to have them fixed, at their own expense, but that is quite rare. Not a lot of people can fork over the six-figure sums for such treatments out of pocket. I suppose if things started fraying, people would start buying US medical insurance, but we're definitely not at that point now.

Also, it can be quite hard to get a family physician in small and midsize towns, because few physicians want to locate there. When I lived in Kitchener, I called around to some physicians, and they all had one-to-two-year waiting lists. Fortunately there are plenty of walk-in medical centres, which are staffed by physicians, and there they'll see you right away.

Generally, my sense is that the Canadian system is working, but there are some issues.
I found it funny to think that people in "non civilized" eras knew that fairly well, while I never even considered the idea.
That. Our office office: open plan, glossy Apple monitors with "interesting" light fixtures to make the glare as bad as possible and it's a 45 minute commute away. My home office does not (yet) sport an adjustable desk, but has all the amenities I'd expect in an office. Like a door. I'm so happy I even wrote a quick blog post about it last week :-) http://evrl.com/working/2017/02/08/no-commute.html. It's my office, I like it, and I think that goes back to the author's "control of environment" argument.

Here's a web story on the subject. The videographer, Turner, is a correspondent for an org called "Photography is not a Crime."

For what it's worth, in the bodycam video shown in this story, Mr. Turner appears to be African-American, and the officers appear to be Euro-American. That fact of race is, unfortunately, relevant in 21st century Texas.

It is probably easier to design a schema from a data-centric viewpoint rather than a user centric viewpoint. Schema are ontologies and ontologies answer the question, what the hell is it?

For example, a resume contains photo*. CRUD by the user is no different that CRUD by the site owner and no different from CRUD by a recruiter. Differences don't happen at the schema level they happen at the application level: recruiters and users and administrators might all stored in the people table and the application grants them different CRUD privileges and generates different views.

Ontology is largely orthogonal to whether the persistence is in a relational, key-value, or graph backing store.

Good luck.
The fact that this is apparently consensus and not a crackpot theory is the most amazing thing about it. The little kid in me is kind of wishing I had gone into geology...

All good points. But intrapolis also reduces the value quite a lot in a way. There's a lot less stuff I'd buy from my city or even wide local area. And local stuff can be brought by foot or bike (depending on weight and size of course). Still it could be pretty cool to be able to pack a thing and push it down a tube like cashiers uploading money in the 70s.
> For wildly varying values of 'taste'...

Well there are a lot of coffee flavours and a infinity of opinions on them. So this will not be different.

For me there is more to it than the taste of a "good coffee", which I obviously also can't replace. Like coffee, these hot drinks, provide me a comfort, that no hot chocolate or tea can achieve.
I started this project because I tried both Piwik and OpenWebAnalytics, and I was a bit unhappy with them (see http://josephbasquin.fr/aboutanalytics).

Own-log because it just worked easily, and doesn't require a configuration to match the server's log policies (logs layout can vary from one config to another).
Note: The logs are digested each day, so they will never grow to a super big file.

Most other analytics solutions (Piwik, OWA) also do their own logging.

Engineering a reliable car is hard. Even Nissan and Toyota, who spent decades wiping the floor with cars from the big 3, struggled when it came time to apply that expertise to building full size trucks.

Yes, there is some institutional inertia that holds back the incumbents. However, there is also a huge store of knowledge about what to do and what not to do.

Here's a somewhat relevant story from my time at Boeing. When the 737-7/8/900 was being designed, some young bloods looked at the vertical stabilizer and said "Oh my God! Look at all this useless structure! We'll use cutting edge FEA and CATIA and show those old pencil-and-paper slide-rule jockeys how it's done." Everything looked great, and they started building the new aircraft in Renton. Except that during flight testing, they found that the new vertical stabilizer assembly was cracking. They had to stop the line (very expensive), remove assemblies from built aircraft (very expensive), and pay penalties to airline customers for delivery delays (astronomically expensive). If memory serves, they had to take a $1B writedown. There were also public firings of high-level executives.

Critical Analysis of Stretching Theory (2011)
or perhaps it means just not making them impossible or certainly very difficult to repair, requiring a costly replacement or ending up in landfill. The only reason apple do this is to keep people buying new devices, they repair the broken ones and resell them. If the govt didnt mandate then apple have no reason to change their behaviour even though it is to the detriment of everyone except apple.
While those are horrifying examples, I dislike this approach of cherry picking and focusing on the worst cases. It can make a problem seem much worse than it really is and make it difficult to tell what is the result of systemic problems and what are individual bad actors.

It's akin to someone mentioning flying and then going into gruesome detail about all of the terrible airline accidents over the years to suggest that flying is unsafe.

> IMO it's a very good law for the population/nation/citizens.

But this is how Govts make enemies in business communities. Actions like these what made China 2nd most wealthy nation in record time.

> Ignoring that it will help small businesses.

How ? Common sense tell me this will put more legal requirements; those are never fun.

> being able to do what you want with the things you bought should be a right, not a privilege

Absolutely. But this forces Apple/others. It does not release customers from restrictions. If there are such any restrictions, Govts would be with in their rights to make such user/customer agreements unenforcable. But again, thats what not happening here.

> Your car stops working because you haven't made your mandatory overpriced yearly checkup? Sounds neat

How about you look for more favourable company ? But you know thats what people do. Such anti-customer corporations you are describing does not last for long in the market unless ofcourse Govts are helping them in someway, as the history shows.

> Also having access to at least service manuals (if not complete schematics) can help repair and reuse electronics, which is great for the environment, low wage workers/families and developing nations in general

Irrelevent. You are curbing liberties. Thats the argument against the law.
Wasn't by me.
In general money makes the world go round. It takes a lot of very smart people working very hard to innovate. That's only going to happen when there is a lot of money. So I'm not against profit in the medics industry. Without profit, I think cures would come out much slower becuase smart people would move to make money elsewhere.

It stinks that health care is so expensive. But by moving to a single payer system, innovation will be stifled. Temporarily that may be fine, but it's like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Innovation will slow and in maybe 10 years we will be worse off than we were before

Bitcoin Investment Scam
I am posting this to bring this scam to people's notice, so nobody loses their Bitcoin/money to this scam.

There is a page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ProTraderBitcoin/) where they ask to send them Bitcoins and promise to give more than 3x return on the investment in 24 just hours. (See their plans below for more details.) They've looted a lot of people through this page and they are still active.

After you send them Bitcoin, they will ban you from the page the moment you ask for return after 24 hours. Also, the moment you try to expose them through comments on their Facebook page, they will delete your comment and ban you from doing so in future.

Their fraudulent investment plans: (Source: https://www.facebook.com/ProTraderBitcoin/photos/a.1761894114028772.1073741828.1760998030785047/1762011370683713/?type=3&theater)

invest 0.10 BTC, You GET 0.40 BTC, After 24 HOURS

invest 0.40 BTC, You GET 1.40 BTC, After 24 HOURS

invest 0.60 BTC, You GET 2.00 BTC, After 24 HOURS

A bit of explanation about why this project:

After years, I've noticed that I prefer to have few (important) informations about my websites, that I can consult each day in 30 seconds, rather than lots of informations for which I would need 15 or 30 minutes per day for an in-depth analysis.

(When it took me 15 minutes per day, I finally watched the analytics only once every 2 weeks or so).

> What Windows has going for it is that it supports a lot of different desktop/laptop hardware very well.

I don't think that's the case.
It's not that Windows itself supports more hardware, but the fact that drivers for said hardware are built only for Windows.
It could even be seen as a vicious cicle:
1) HW manufacturers create drivers for Windows because It's more popular;
2) Users use Windows because "It Just Works (TM)" and so userbase grows;
3) goto 1

> Linux supports a lot of hardware but much of it not very well.

Hence I think Linux supports more HW but driver support isn't as good.

I get what you're saying though.
Very Interesting! This will work great for creating good presentations.
You're assuming the one who introduced the bug was a founder with the ability to do that.
Perfectly reasonable, normal, "good"-looking people can become very bad very quickly. Just because they act decent, polite, etc for 99% of their day, doesn't mean that they're not capable of behaving differently.

This is the nature of criminals, as well. They're fine for the most part, until they break a law. The real problem is that we're allowing a parallel "judicial system" to exist in the first place. One that selectively applies certain rules to certain groups, which is in this case, the police.
Instead of choosing between the two extreme ends of the spectrum, Clicking Buttons vs. Writing Code, you can use a tool like Exploratory (https://exploratory.io) (Disclaimer, I’m a co-founder of Exploratory), which provides a modern and interactive UI to access to all the amazing things of R without needing to write R code. You can get immediate value out of R in the first few minutes with its grammar based (dplyr verbs) data wrangling and beautiful and interactive visualization. Everything you do in Exploratory is recorded as R function that you see in UI so you can learn R while you work on data, and you can export your analysis works as reproducible R scripts. Many of our users use Exploratory to not just learn R, but also learn data analysis / science methods, which to me is more important than learning the tools themselves.
