Watch them change their opinion when the next leak of government information is determined to have happened over an unintercepted TLS connection...
I feel like I'm starting to sound like a shill in this thread... I don't work for MS, don't use Azure, and am generally considered an "Apple fan boy." So, with those bona fides out of the way... I disagree.

The reality is that this is not FUD. People actually _are_ sued on a regular basis for bullshit like this. Microsoft is indemnifying Azure customers and giving them free access to their patent portfolio for defensive purposes. This should _reduce_ patent suits, which is a _good_ thing.

Google and Amazon should follow suit.
They always occur. It's just that around the dewpoint you can visualize them. But they're all the more deadly for normally being invisible.
Just TVs. Just one type of consumer product needs a full Power Plant added to the earth every year to support their standby draw. Yes this assumes that a significant proportion will be plugged in, but it adds up.

Just TVs, not monitors, not computers, not audio receivers, not game consoles, not microwave ovens, not etc. I doubt the cost of designing this converter even approaches the yearly cost of a power plant.
I'm excited to see FreeNAS "Corral" come out and the user interface looks great, however I'm still disappointed that jails are not able to be used.

I'm not sad to see the plugins system gone, it was terrible and I always set up my own custom jails on FreeNAS anyway, but It would have been nice to be able to use jails at least from the command line. I guess they don't want to have to worry about supporting both.

I just wonder about the extra overhead of having to run a virtual machine for every container as opposed to just running a FreeBSD jail. bhyve is also not as established as FreeBSD jails and I wonder about stability. Now you're having to worry about the stability of bhyve and docker. For just running services like emby, syncthing, SABnzbd or the like I honestly think having the option to just run a FreeBSD jail is superior. Considering it is FreeBSD under the hood I don't see why the option is gone.

It's nice to be able to run Docker containers don't get me wrong, but I just wonder if it is really the superior technology.
I sort of did this with Second Life when I was in my teens, logging on daily to have fun and hang out and also to script/build/sell things for real money, answer support requests in-world and so on. I don't go on nearly as much as I used to, but I still draw some passive income from my store there.
Cool, thanks! I think it's a little different from Kickstarter since with per-creation, supporters are still charged for every creation even if they may not like some of those creations. Whereas if I fund a Kickstarter for a board game, I'm choosing that specific project/creation.

One time the gas supplier accidentally gave us helium in the argon supply cylinder and so my dive buddy ended up with a drysuit inflation tank full of helium. He couldn't figure out why he was freezing his ass off during the dive until he returned to the dive shop and checked that tank with a helium analyzer.
I really like this read, something just smells off about blaming young people for "wasting years" on video games. We've got a horribly stacked real life "game" where the boomers and elites have horded everything and fucked future generations, blaming an individual for dropping out and not wanting to really participate in that trainwreck is being dishonest at best.

I'm curious as to how we can pull that off given that an ever increasing percentage of young smart capable people are opting out of solving real world problems in favor of "toiling over their virtual realities"...
It doesn't matter that much. Some things in programming mater a lot, like consistent indentation and casing. Some things doesn't, like perfectly formatted commit messages. whether the verbs in commit messages should be in imperative or present tense is just too much.

I can tell you that I have been programming for a very long time. So if someone asks me "Why does it MATTER if lines are longer than 80 characters?" then I can answer "Because it means that the distribution of line-lengths will be more uniform, meaning that you will be able to fit more code on the screen, meaning that the amount of scrolling you'll have to do when trying to understand the code is greatly reduced." And scrolling interrupts your focus, which is bad. But if I ask someone, "Why does it MATTER if verbs are in present or imperative tense?" no one can answer.
Interesting conclusion you have come to.

Is this because you believe people playing these games are not able to separate the fantasy of the game from real life?

If so, what differentiates them from pornography?
To be honest, quite a few video games are much more well designed than the money|status game.
I love BetterTouchTool, especially since it allows setting everything on a per application basis. I use it to have the same keyboard shortcuts for navigating tabs in everything, like browsers, iterm, finder, IDEs and more, it's so nice to have consistent shortcuts.

It's also really practical for programs that don't even support custom keybinds or when running multiple instances at the same time like multiple firefox profiles. No need to set the new shortcuts in every profile, they just always work on every running firefox instance.

It also has nice features for window snapping and resizing, I have two of my side mouse buttons mapped to window move and window resize respectively, whenever I hold one of them down the window under the mouse pointer will just move/resize accordingly until I release the mouse button, including snapping to edges and all that nice stuff.

BTT is one of apps I miss most whenever I use windows, makes customizing the user experience so much easier.
No, Google, Amazon and Microsoft should push for patent reform. Not use their arsenal of patents as a protection racket. And because of IV Microsoft is - indirectly, at just about one plausibly deniable arms length - one of the bigger abusers of patents in this way.

One way in which they could have done this that would be clean would be a blanket statement that would cover parties no matter where they are hosted. To make this a competitive advantage for Azure is fairly disgusting.

Another thing they could do is assure the world without any weasel words that Microsofts patents will never again be used to seek rent on innovation, or better yet, to place them all in the public domain.
when i go to comic con, you see many women who look like they fit what the comic book would look like. most are not hard, just dont be over weight.

men however, even men you clearly see they spend most of their time in the gym could never even remotely fill out many male fantasy characters.
To add to jacquesm's response, the footage in [2] is definitely from a humid day. That makes condensation happen very readily.

If I remember correctly, the trails from the outboard edges of the flaps are just like wingtip vortices. The airfoil's geometry suddenly changes, acting like a wingtip and creating a vortex.
The four factors are ALL considered in determination of fair use. You are not "covered" under any one of them. It is the opposite: violating any one of them can be used as basis for challenging fair use exemption.

The gold standard for fair use is academic citation. Genius use of the lyrics was clearly commercial (because it benefited financially and is a for profit organization). The terms "direct" or "indirect" are not in the language of the guidelines. In (4), it would be enough for copyright holders to show potential for future harm.

A strong case of fair use needs to clear each of the four factors. For example, just posting the lyrics online (without profit) violates (2) in that it is not transformative, (3) in that the work is reproduced in its entirety, and (4) in that it harms the "existing or future" market for the product.

By contrast, an academic citation, a sentence of a novel, for example, is non-commercial, transformative, partial, and non-damaging. Incidentally, things get more complicated with poetry---scholars working on short-form lyrical poetry often need to clear the rights for publishing their research. Poems are short, it is therefore difficult to avoid reproducing them in full, which violates (3). Courts prefer partial reproduction for fair use.
First is to learn the difference between functional requirements and non-functional requirements. Usually functional requirements are explicit, and non-functional requirements are implicit. e.g: nobody asks for a service that doesn't crash, degrade or gets hacked. Those are implicit requirements.

Each one of those requirements comes with their own set of good practices. e.g: security good practices, maintainability good practices, configuration good practices, documentation good practices, etc...

Then, you don't protect a $10 bike with a $100 lock. There are tradeoffs that need to be taken into account.
I have found that the "Game of Life" as the author puts it is much more rewarding and meaningful. But then again, I guess I get to do what I like and I'm paid well for it.

I'm worried what our culture and life will be like with a large number of people who do nothing but play video games. Especially if a UBI is created and they can continue to play video games without any big effect on their basic income.

That said, maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe all that time playing increasingly high-quality games, reading books (some in the article were), and talking about it all with people online will grow into that group of people having a different and better perspective on things. A group of gaming philosophers.
Had to google around to understand wake turbulence. If I read the wiki correctly, it's basically a horizontal tornado that emanates from the wings. That would explain the rolling that the aircraft encountered.

On another note, I fly every week for work, can't imagine rolling five times and engines losing power with a drop of 10k feet. That's absolutely insane. I've had engines lose power before, but it was quickly regained such that the drop was more moderate.
This really hits home for me. Seems like every older family member I have just has tons and tons of useless stuff. I dont get it.
Hey Rob, it is certainly possible for you to bootstrap a successful SaaS. Without money to pay a developer, though, your best bet would be to learn to code yourself enough to put out a product to test the waters. Once that gains some traction, partnerships and funding would be easier to come by. That path would probably eat up 3-9 months given the bulk of your spare time and energy.

Why do you think you want to build a SaaS product though? It seems to me like you're already putting out content pretty regularly. I would recommend moving it off medium to a domain you control and start getting some emails for your list. You can still publish there, but link back to your own site. With an email list, your readers can turn into your customers. As a designer, you can then start building products like books, courses, podcasts, guides you name it which will let you take advantage of the skills you have already. Check out Design for Hackers, for example. Why not use the edge you built up instead of starting at a disadvantage?
Hard to blame anyone for spending their time doing things where success is quantifiable and quickly displayed.

This is the Western countries' version of hikkikomori and there will only be more of it as education and good opportunities become out of reach for more people.

Men seem more likely to do this than women because of the societal pressures on them to get a job and run the rat race of dating and climbing a nonexistent corporate ladder.

For those people living in major job centers or major job creation industries it seems unfathomable, but there is an entire American generation out there experiencing this, being told that they're not shit if they don't go to college and work a 9 to 5 (which really is more of a 9 to 9). I don't blame them for opting out of such useless propaganda. Not everyone enjoys or is interested in computer programming, and starting your career in your 20s without an inherently marketable skill is terrifying for most people.
I think it's great that there are projects like http://www.open-emr.org/ , https://oscar-emr.com/oscar/ , http://openmrs.org/ , and https://www.hl7.org/fhir/http.html ;

I think these tools would be even better if they released their code under LGPL (instead of GPL) so that lazy commercial EHR developers would reuse and help maintain some core modules to promote more interoperability.

I don't think it's going to ever be possible (or that it is even desirable) to ever have a "Universal EHR" that everyone is forced to use through either government intervention or through market/economic forces. We can all exchange emails with each other, but we aren't all forced to use the same email client

The reason that the entire healthcare system seems broken to most consumers is legacy EHR systems in large hospitals. These legacy enterprise vendors are essentially what Oracle was 20 years ago in the rest of the enterprise software market before companies like Salesforce.com came along. Another part of this "broken" feeling is the difficulty of exchanging data between different EHR systems; but this doesn't have to be the case.

"If you've seen one HL7 standard implementation, you have seen exactly one HL7 standard implementation." Which means most systems don't interoperates with anyone else's systems unless there is an existing commercial relationship that forced everyone to interoperate on a local scale.

By "this story" you mean a story like this? Because this one is new.

Yes. Note that direct or indirect is not in the language of the guidelines. copyright.gov says:

"Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes: Courts look at how the party claiming fair use is using the copyrighted work, and are more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair. "
"For that reason alone the tech community should shun them. But just a few short years later and a couple of open source releases and we're supposed to believe it is all so much better now and the Microsoft of old should be forgotten."

We don't have to speculate. They pulled over a billion dollars from Android through patent suit threats despite not trying to contribute to Android and trying to get rid of it with their own product. They haven't changed. They should be boycotted wherever possible.

but you can allow her to call me arrogant. Her personal info is on her profile so I'll take it from here.

you did the same thing with andrea, she comes in here, shits all over everybody and the site. this womans profile is the same, writes several blogs about how were all sexist on HN, yet she keeps coming here and you enable her. Do you see your bias ? I hope you see that to protect women as if they're some endangered species is patronizing and equivalent to sexism. Giving them a special status that is not based on merit. Everyone's got their faults, I said some rude shit (out of thousands of comments, omg I'm not perfect). Your bias is this sexism by patronizing.
And how much would AWS cost for your total storage, per month? Because if that's $5k then it sounds like you still picked the cheaper route...
With respect, I think you're over-thinking it.

1. UC Berkeley is an entity that uses the internet

2. The internet can be used, to great advantage, for distributing video files

3. The video files in this case were made with the best intentions of improving the world, and this is also the reason for wanting them to be available to the internet-connected world, for free. They harm no-one, and they make the world a better place.

4. So they should be able to use the internet to distribute their video files, without any special extra costs.
Excellent post. Thanks for taking the time for such a thoughtful reply.

For those reading along or for my own purposes of tracking thoughts for a case study of this experience, I'll add some comments:

> Drive isn't (at least yet) designed with a central group share in mind.

Trouble is Google advertise it as being suited for this. Google provides well written docs to guide you through setting up a central file share for your organization. I just looked for the doc again. Its been moved/removed in the last few weeks. Now I see they have a new/improved feature called Team Drive which may solve some aspects of my troubles.

> Especially if they use one of those insane massive shares that the whole company has write access to.

Google advertises a 10 terabyte drive for $99 a month. The Business and Education plans advertise unlimited storage. This combined with a wealth of other docs Google provides for using G Suite for Business may lead a reasonable person to conclude it could handle a measly 1.5 terabyte drive account.

> Drive API: I may be misunderstanding your use case, but I think this is just as simple as logging in as the records user and authorizing the application instead of granting it global scope to the GSuite account.

Yeah, that's the next step for us to write some code against. Google Drive's API docs tell you that for server-to-server API usage, use the service account method. This method gives access (for a given scope) to all accounts. I've found no docs or example code for server to server API using the client/server OAuth method which would restrict access to a single account. rclone uses the client/server OAuth method. Its tricky stuff. To do this on a server we need to write a process so a server admin can manually bootstrap the OAuth access and cache the access tokens for reuse by the server. This method requires a bit of tricky work to refresh the server's access with a refresh token at times. No docs on how long this access is good for or how often you can refresh. So to do this for long running server access, we would need some method so the server can email me when the token expires so I can manually bootstrap the OAuth again.

> records@mydomain makes me think you're using a file sharing system for something that would be better served by purpose built software.

Sure. My use case wan't clear in my original post. The reason I picked this approach is Google Docs is great for our needs. Having the student's work evidence embedded in a shared drive (in read only folders) alongside other folders containing Google Docs of teachers assessment, feedback and admin docs is pretty slick. Actually this stuff is working great. Its the ops/admin aspects that aren't ready for business.

> Sync client: If bandwidth is constrained roll out the client to users in comfortably small increments.

When I checked about a month again, my only option as an admin was on for all users or off for all users. Hard to manage a roll out plan when Google pushes their sync tool on users and I can't control access on a per account basis. For now, its off. I'm happy to leave it that way ;)
There is a fundamental problem with the goals of the governments education system and the goals(or point) of the enterprise. They appose each other because at a fundamental layer the point of gaining power from the efforts of educated people is not in the governments best interest. So it has historicaly been designed for the control of educated people, not in their empowerment to create and change the future and balance of power. This will never change. If enterprise wants a better educated workforce they will have to invest in educating their people, education is the only way to take power from those who cause this problem. It does happens now, but it needs to be expanded on a cultural,practical level. Things will never, and never have gotten better without people disregarding the powers that be and doing it themselves.
That's relevant to the specific heat table, but not the conductivity table, no?

This is the thing UBI prevents.

A large benefit of a UBI compared to the status quo is that it reduces marginal tax rates on low income people. Right now you can get a lot of assistance if you have little to no income, but if you make a dollar you lose 90 cents in benefits. Who wants to work for 10 cents on the dollar?

With a UBI you make a dollar and you keep most of it, so there is more incentive to work.

* Disappointing that the false meme about some gaming communities being hostile to women because they're women was promoted in this article. Some gaming communities are very hostile to newcomers: but it's not because you're a woman, it's because you're a noob or just suck. Welcome to one of the last remaining meritocracies.

* The article makes a correct observation insofar as more men (not just an occasional sad social reject) are using games as an escape, often due to poor economic realities. But it's disappointing that the huge role that male/female relations and sex plays in this trend is ignored.

* Google terms like "the sexodus". There are many politically incorrect truths here about what is going on with male/female relations and why more men are seeking an escape and why everybody is unhappy that I think are more at the root of this issue.
Cloud IP insurance policies would be something interesting to see in this space.

I was at an insurance analytics conference (kind of) recently, and everyone was all hyped up on this notion of trying to write policies for cybersecurity protection. The problem was the underwriting and how to price the policies. I think another thing we could see in this space is how to insure IP that's in the cloud. Cybersecurity insurance meets IP.
I haven't played video games in years but I think that's it not video games causing young men to drop out of the work force. Rather, there are other societal causes and young men without prospects for their future are going to fill their unused time with something.
Just like how the mob indemnifies local businesses from unwanted fires by giving them free access to protection for defensive purposes. This should _reduce_ arson, which is a _good_ thing.
That's not what Aaron is saying. He's saying there's no evidence that the D-Wave machine is using any quantum tricks to solve problems at all.
