I'm neither a lawyer nor experienced in this sort of thing (thankfully! :) ), but I would imagine that Uber would have to throw out everything they've got now, fire all the employees that are currently working on the project, and then restart something from scratch.
Sometimes, if a company want to clone a competitor's product they'll use a 'clean room protocol' - I imagine that Uber could do something similar here.

This highlights why compulsory public schooling was so long in being established. It follows the trajectory of the US transitioning from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy, and children were actually expected to participate in both but even more so in the agricultural economy. Only in the 20th century were people expected to not work at a 'real' job until the age of 22.

I assume you favor your own children over other people's children? If so, wouldn't that also be "immoral"? When you picked up your child from the maternity ward, would it have made no difference to you if you had picked up someone else's child instead?

I found out about the Seeker last year via a YouTube video recommendation and went out and volunteered with Doug in June. He's an amazingly driven man and the project is super cool and just weird: you're in Tulsa, Oklahoma working on this giant boat that's taking up his entire front yard and you're 1000 miles / 1600 km away from the nearest ocean (he has a plan for that).

Almost everything on this boat is handmade and crowd-sourced in design. If you have ever wanted to learn how to weld/plasma cut/machine/... Doug will teach you whatever you need to know and can potentially even host you if you plan far enough out. I'm headed out there again this May and can't wait to get back in to it and see how it's changed in the past year.
I'm worried that the emphasis on the alt-right and their clearly racist and sexist motivations is overshadowing any deserved scrutiny towards the left.

What ever happened to the "Why I Need Feminism" campaign? I could make a dozen signs all on my own, for some serious shit my family and I have had to live through. Yet--according to the attributes that both the left and the right seem to care about the most--I am nothing more than a white, heterosexual, cis-gendered man, propped up as a poster-child for what is either wrong (to the left) or right (to the right) with the world. (But that's the thing about posters, they're two-dimensional.) I know better than to take some of my worst experiences with poor excuses for liberals to be indicative of the movement. Every job has its bad employees. But it's really easy to see how other people would see the abuse thrown at them and just wash their hands of the entire situation.

The alt-right is too easy of a target. Let's not let our glee to cut them down turn us into them.

Because it is mostly a site for press release type content, I suspect Product Hunt has less incentive to discourage those sorts of get out the vote activities versus Hacker News. And Hacker News users have more incentive to flag posts that rise for reasons other than interesting content or comments. I mean, if I have an informed expectation of what I will get on the Product Hunt front page and it is different than my expectation about the HN front page in part due to the way get out the vote activities are treated.

I am thinking about a system for transmitting keys through the mail.

A microSD card is small enough to conceal inside of something else. I'm thinking of some kind of packaging where you could easily tell if it has been opened, and it would be impossible to re-seal perfectly.

It does not matter if the key is intercepted, as long as the recipient knows this, and does not use the key.

I was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease at age 2.5, a condition where the immune system attacks the blood vessels. I'm 29 now and recently became very ill; I lived off of less than 500 calories a day, for a month, without losing weight. I began to hallucinate lightning upon seeing light and believing I could read others minds.

I think the Epistein Barr Virus plays a beneficial role in the regulation of autoimmune disorders. Once it sets up shop inside a cell, it activates to produce its viral proteins upon low vitamin B12 or poor mitochondrial function. Its (9) proteins are similar to human inflammatory proteins and confuse T-cells into becoming self-reactive. Which could possibly redirect some autoimmune attack that is causing a decrease in the hosts metabolism into systemic inflamation. (Vitamin B12 is a methyl donor which is used to silence gene promotors, low vitamin B12 could possibly cause the cell be in some uncontrolled state.)

I've found relief for my condition in vitamins B,C,D, Immunoglobulin (sold OTC as colostrum), Excedrin, DMSO, iodine, and marijuana (prepared in a pressure cooker with coconut milk).

My family thought I went insane, all I talked about was DMSO and iodine for several months. This was until the family dog developed a fatty tumor on her leg that cut off its own blood supply and became necrotic. I applied the DMSO/iodine and it was greatly improved within 24 hours and almost completely gone within 5 days.

All I really know about those drugs is DMSO suppresses mitochondrial activity and iodine increases it.
The issue is that autonomous tech that's good enough to do what Uber would need it to do (reliable door to door transportation without a human available to take any degree of control in a wide range of conditions) isn't close. Even a decade or two--which IMO is optimistic--isn't really a useful timeframe for Uber.

'Middle-Class' Manufacturing Jobs Pay Fast-Food Wages
The Nazis didn't have anything like modern surveillance, and they didn't need it to enact the Holocaust. So I'm not sure what your point is; could you clarify?

Surveillance enables many kinds of government oppression, but large-scale ethnic cleansing doesn't seem to be one of them, in that it's already possible and efficient. The Nazi's logistical problems in enacting the Holocaust were more in moving and killing Jews, less in finding them.

ETA: many of the Dutch Jews who did survive were hidden by Dutch people. And yes, such efforts could be thwarted by surveillance. But that seems like an edge case; rare even in the Netherlands, where only a few percent of local Jews were so hidden, and vanishingly rare in the Holocaust as a whole across Europe.
>What I find interesting is that many people are perfectly ok with exploiting a poorer neighbor, but they definitely should stay on their side of the dotted line.

How is having trade with a poorer neighbor country "exploitation"? Or when manufacturing plants move to the poorer nation? How is that exploitation? It's not good for the higher-paid workers who now are unemployed in the richer country, but it's good for the workers in the poor country who now have jobs which they apparently want because those plants do get staffed quickly.

As for your equilibrium/osmosis analogy, what if that substance differs highly in concentration because there's fundamental differences between the two countries, and one of them is severely broken politically (the other one is too, just not as badly and not in the same way)? Until the fundamental problem in the poorer country is addressed, I don't see how you're going to ever achieve equilibrium unless it's to the severe disadvantage of the richer country (i.e., dragging them down). And the responsibility for fixing that is not with the richer country; doing that is generally called "imperialism" and not viewed positively these days.
Is there any reason to use this rather than "New Project" in the XDE if you're already an Expo user?
No, Cloudflare did not acquire Sandstorm, but four of the seven team members (including both founders) are joining as individuals. This was our preference -- I love Cloudflare but I'd also like Sandstorm to remain independent.

Sorry, I meant for that to be clear in the post but I guess I failed.

Have you thought about using MobX instead? I think Redux's "complications" stem from guiding you towards a certain set of principles and ways of coding without giving you the tools to commit to those principles and ways of coding. Particularly, the way you compose reducers and the way you expose actions is manual and very boilerplate-ish.

Mark Erikson hosts a wonderful page full of redux ecosystem links, and here you can see all the tools to allow you to write and compose reducers - https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma... so clearly there was something missing there.

Redux as an idea I found very simple yet interesting. Watching Dan Abramov's series on building a Redux-lite from scratch helped changed my way of approaching how I build web apps.

However, using Redux in the mundane, daily sense was riddled with little practical niggles that were never really answered by the fairly minimalistic library, so I ended up with a kind of feeling that Redux kind of required me to "know" how to write good code before I commit to using it...

Meanwhile MobX seems to map to my mental model and all the modes of "mutation" that I'm already used to and have experience in, while also essentially introducing the same ideas as Redux.
File Sharing Secrets
I meant 100% nylon is nasty comfort wise. It is an opinion. I don't hate nylon. I'm wearing Darn Tough socks that have nylon in them. I wore a rain jacket the other day that was 100% nylon.

I love nylon for what it is but I don't think it isn't even remotely comfortable fabric (at extremely high %) even with varying weaves (compared to say silk). Nylon socks (100% which are hard to find) are just not as comfortable. If you think they are that is fine but I think more people would agree that is not the case.

I'm sure you can make quality hosiery out of nylon but I still find it disturbing that you think women enjoy wearing hosiery. The high end hosier is made out of silk which it was traditionally made out of. Some people are even allergic to nylon.

The reason this argument is relevant other than just pure opinion is spider silk if made cheap would make a great alternative to nylon and is the reason I picked out nylon to pick on in the first place! I mean I could go on and on about polyurethane but it isn't relevant to spider silk.

It has come to symbolise it, in a sense of "no more Mexicans." But op specifically meant it literally, as in: be strict about visa enforcements. If you have a wall, but a very liberal immigration policy, that's not racist.

Again: you're right in other situations, but in this specific case, he was playing with the words.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it a single joke that got him in trouble? The article's wording here is pretty slippery, but it seems to be trying to give the (as I understand it) false impression that "Pewdiepie" was a Nazi humor site. That doesn't give me much confidence in the rest of the article.
I suspect they intend to keep working on Sandstorm in their spare time (like most of us on here and our OSS side projects), but my have explicitly had their work contracts worded in such a way as that's allowable (or maybe Cloudflare is giving them x% of time to dedicate to it?)

I'm currently in the process of leaving my full time job to work on my OSS stuff full time again. It's a tough move because you do eventually run out of money if you can't get enough grants, donations or a following on Patreon. That's how I ended up back in a full time gig myself.

It could be also argued that it's a violation of our right to freedom of expression. Personally I have started to self-censor anything I post online.

The CJEU also recently ruled against mass data collection that the UK was doing and I believe that sharing data with agencies outside Europe was also ruled illegal.

I'm not saying that wiretapping someone with a warrant or monitoring someone within the law is a human rights violation. It's specific to bulk collection.

I look at programming as all design, whether deliberate or not. Martin Fowler drove the point home for me (https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/newMethodology.html).

He said that some people drew inspiration from construction, where there are designers and builders. One or two highly paid architects draw up the plans. Then you can hire a bunch of cheap labor to build it, say a bridge. This belief leads to a dichotomy in software companies, where one person is the "architect" and others are just "regular" programmers --- often outsourced to the lowest bidder.

From Jack Reeves he cites the epiphany "that in fact the source code is a design document and that the construction phase is actually the use of the compiler and linker." There is little repetitive, mindless work in programming, because as most of you know, "anything that you can treat as construction can and should be automated." Therefore, "In software all the effort is design . . ."

Absolutely. The following two new checks are impressive and should be on by default.

New misc-move-forwarding-reference check
Warns when std::move is applied to a forwarding reference instead of std::forward.

http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/misc-move-forw...

New misc-use-after-move check
Warns if an object is used after it has been moved, without an intervening reinitialization.

http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/misc-use-after...

The use-after-move check has its limitations which make sense considering the "unspecified but valid state" moved from objects are in. From reading the design document the cases they handle should catch common ownership issues, though. Great step in the right direction for sure.

Implementation: https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang-tools-extra/blob/master...

The Bachelors degree of yesterday is almost the equivalent to the Masters of today in a lot of fields. It's sadly used as a gatekeeper, erroneously in so many cases.

I've had that point corrected in another comment, so that's a fair position to take. I didn't intend to overly simplify a complex historic background.

I understand the sentiment of 'whinging Scots' and find it to be a real shame. Many of us are big fans of our English neighbours despite wanting independence. I guess it's a difference of opinion and always a very sensitive topic.

Either way, I'm sorry it's caused you to feel resentful of Scotland. Hopefully we can all reconcile our differences in the end.

The nerds don't like it when their own - Brendan Eich, Tim Hunt, Richard Dawkins, DongleGate guy etc - get witch-hunted by the SJWs. So it's no surprise that they let off steam by supporting people who oppose that stuff.
But even then we are falling... My great grandmother taught school back in the 1940's-1970's, and I recall reading through one of the 5th grade English subject books from around 1950, and it was significantly more advanced than what I was seeing in an English class for high school seniors (short of AP).

So, effectively even at the subject you mention, literacy (english language communications), we are teaching less with 5 more years than we taught just over half a century ago (assuming that it hasn't improved since I left HS about 24 years ago).

I love technology... I love history.. and a lot of things.. that said, I think we're letting the core that is pure communication (reading, writing, and effectively communicating) is falling behind at the expense of being able to follow [INSERT_CELEBRITY] on [NEW_SOCIAL_MEDIA_PLATFORM].
> The Unix IO model isn't well designed and is far from the only Unix-ism to work poorly in the face of threads

Right, threads in the form of pthreads should've never been introduced into Unix, as they made a huge mess of many interfaces.

The rfork "you have processes that can share resources" model is a much better fit (although it doesn't solve all problems). It's what Linux as well as FreeBSD implement at the kernel level anyway except they add tons of ugly stuff on top of it to allow for performant implementations of POSIX threads semantics.

2. Author complains her other nephew's lack of a degree and previous chef jobs did not result in a good paying job.

3. Author advocates for community colleges, blames higher-ed for being "too rigid" for her nephews, and says how much better Germany and other European countries are at training.
LLVM IR is an IR format, :). Basically LLVM is just a abstract RISC, whereas the JVM is a lot of that with a truck load of very high level instructions. One could implement these as a superset of LLVM, but that's not what LLVM is. You, mostly, can JIT LLVM IR and use it as a generic bytecode vm: but it's really designed for static copmilation.
I'd like to clarify the use of the word "Stealing". It appears that Lewandowski _stole_ technical documentation and engineering work done around LiDAR. Google did not steal code, technical docs, or any engineering material. They recognized good usability concepts being used by Apple, and adapted them. They were matching the market leader's feature set. https://www.forbes.com/sites/timothylee/2011/10/25/yes-googl... It's a little different.
