Take a look at early open source licenses, those that did not make it into the present (e.g. the POV-ray licence). Even people who opened their sources where often fiercely protective of their creations. Today it's usually all about protecting the creator (from various kinds of litigation), only the GPL adds a bit of impersonal "for the cause" flavor. The extinct licences, in contrast, were often bristling with protection of personal attribution. "Mine forever" used to be a big concern.

Today there is the idea that being the one person who knows more about a piece of code than the rest of humanity combined is a thing of value by itself and that this does not require protection. Letting your code free won't take that away from you, at least not as long as you care. I guess that idea just wasn't part of the mindset of that age.
Actually, you can't forget the possibility that someone will attack it, for profit or even just the lulz. If you have the idea I can pretty much promise someone's going to try it long before there's a 1000 of these stores.
Great ideas, thanks! We've been through 4 different attempts at photos, and results are obviously lacking... do any of you have sources you really like for outlet covers, light cases, and other fixture / finish elements?
I think its a fundamental problem with teaching science history. We tend to look at achievements in history as being inevitable, like of course we discovered flight after the locomotive was invented, that's just how it happened! But those discoveries were all a circumstances of chance. If we're going to continue to make progress in science we need to accept that new, groundbreaking discoveries don't happen inevitably, they happen from people doing a lot of the dirty work and from imaginative people putting the puzzle pieces together in new ways. There's no inevitability to discovery.
Interesting though on the supply side question. I remember reading some comment here that basically said, People do not build low income housing, they build high income housing that then gets old and becomes low income housing. That means there is a several decade lag in housing supply for low income.

This is the main reason why, for example, the i7-7700K comes with a "base clock" of 4.2 GHz even though for most workloads the CPU will operate at 4.4 or 4.5 GHz. That 4.2 GHz represents the maximum speed the CPU can maintain when running the worst case AVX2 workload without exceeding the specified 91W TDP.

It's not thuggish. It's merely a bad deal. It's a bad deal for the company too, since they will have to compensate people more for their level of skill in order to make up for it. It's also ridiculous of the company to think of creativity as zero-sum like that (e.g. what if he watched TV instead? Now no one benefits), but even if it was, creativity on personal projects is of asymmetric value -- the employee no doubt cares more about that time than the employer could plausibly benefit from it -- so it's an especially inefficient thing for the company to negotiate for. All this suggest the employer was being dumb and missing out on a hire for no good reason.

Dumb but not thuggish. In fact the view that it is thuggish is feudal, since it implies that the employers are lords handing out favors and punishments to their subjects below, and thus have a duty to be fair and compassionate about it. But the employer is really an equal at the negotiating table. Some people argue that capitalism can be coercive in the relevant way (a point I have no wish to argue for or against here), but it's demonstrably not true in this instance, since Braithwaite was able to walk away from a crummy deal. No doubt the employer was worse off for it. That's how it's supposed to work.

Yes, we decided to be opinionated and say you can't describe bodies for operations where the spec says bodies have no meaning. The text should be there, but I think the RC0 revision has some formatting issues that is hiding the text.

There's some innocence in your comment which I wish I still appreciated. I think the grittier reality is that a lot of these startups were based on generally mediocre ideas, but were funded anyway because of relationships and contacts.

I cringe every time I see another "Come help us change the world at..." or "Come help us reinvent blah blah" here on HN. Instant red flag to me, but I'll be damned if they didn't get funded anyway.
The solution to making it work first is to make a prototype with the correct design. You do not have to implement it at once.

(On C2 wiki, a proper SpikeSolution)

If you hit a case your design cannot cleanly handle, it is time for redesign, but often a tiny amount of design constrained by use cases will expose a good design quickly.
But a lot of the folks who work for those big accounting firms like H&R are just seasonal data entry folks who just input all the data info their program.

I think to fight this, we need a good robust open source solution that could possibly be made automated. Only cost I assume would be for the user to e-file.

Saying that "that's only 20 gigabytes worth of certs" is roughly equivalent to saying "this database is only 1.8TB - that's miniscule, 2TB drives are only $70!". There's a whole lot more moving parts, especially at scale (developing a system to manage 5M certs? Pretty sure that's a whiteboard interview question somewhere).

Of course when you're gluing libraries together it is hard to know what they're doing under the hood. There are a lot of libraries with catastrophically stupid design decisions hidden behind the API, and then when everything runs like shit you find yourself having to dig into the libraries until you find the problem.
I have been using a Lulzbot Taz 5 and I find it to be an amazing machine but recently I have gotten an Ultimaker 2 Go and this thing is unmatched in print quality and accuracy to any FDM machine that I have used before. I would highly recommend checking out either of these machines before going down the Makerbot path.
>> "Because I am the buyer I had to pay her nothing... the seller pays..."

This is literally the second most breathtakingly naive comment I've ever read on the internet.
The folks attacking payday lending (i.e. mainstream American liberals) aren't suggesting replacing those options with minimum basic income or a comprehensive welfare state. They're simply ignorant, and think that poor people will be helped if the government sets lower rates by fiat. In reality, it will simply remove another option from people who have very few.
Vectors: How the Old Became New Again in Supercomputing (2016)
I was under the impression that "under Amazon's brand" meant that the item is being "sold by Amazon" rather than a merchant using Amazon as a platform.

I think eBay should verify items that are being sold by eBay, and Amazon should verify items that are being sold by Amazon, but eBay shouldn't be responsible for items being sold VIA eBay, nor should Amazon be responsible for items being sold VIA Amazon.
Can you really clean up a bad design in a bunch of minutes?
In barter there is no seller's advantage because yeah, there's no seller. In a monetary transaction, there is, because one party ends up with money, which is more than just a medium of exchange - it's capital. You can easily rent it out and get back not only your money, but a bit extra. You could do that with corn, too, but you would have to set up the arrangement yourself, whereas the mechanisms already exist to do that with cash.
This is a natural byproduct of the evolution of tech sector becoming THE world leader. We are no longer a small mammal outrunning giant reptiles, we are now the dominant force shaping the future of LIFE. This is a smart corrective measure to prevent a bubble. The best firms have learned that only scientific innovation, technical genius, and world-class leaders deserve capital for their ideas.

It should be at worst an illegal instruction, but instead the whole core freezes, even on underclocked computers.

If you don't rent, then you have to buy. Now you are paying money to the banks who "just rake it in". If you can't save up for the 5% downpayment, you have no choice but to rent. There will always be a percentage of people who don't have the capital to buy and need renting options. Note: I'm not saying slumlords are good. I'm saying people need to have a place to live. People need to have jobs. The economy will always have to encourage people who provide housing and jobs as it is so critical to everything.

It seems like you are most upset about people who inherited money using it to their advantage. I think the biggest problem is not poverty but how the middle class is forced to pay for it. The powers that be tell the middle class that it is the lazy poor people's fault so they get the blame while the rich get richer.
The problem is deeper that that really. Doctors and nurses are already expected to detect and report a huge host of issues, ranging from child and spousal abuse, to malingering and drug-seeking behavior. This, in addition to increasing workloads, increasing pressure of lawsuits and debt, and decreased time to spend on each patient.

At some point you're asking a doctor to spend maybe a third of the 10-15 minutes they might get with a patient to run with a checklist to which the answers will virtually always be "no", regardless of circumstances. In the same way that this rarely detects or interrupts cycles of violence in more traditional abuse models, it would fail to do so here.

Doctors and nurses can only function this way when they're part of a functional system, and they are not. We can't keep making demands of them, we need to start offering resources and support, preferably diverted from the obscene profits behind our swollen healthcare costs.
But housing only exists because of the economic incentives provided by the rent.

The act of building housing takes significant resources: lots of labor, purchase of physical building materials, purchase of equipment. The investor takes on the risk that pouring money into construction efforts will ultimately be paid back in the form of valuable housing that can be sold or rented.

If not for the returns provided by rent, no one would put up the investment in order to build more housing.

(just to clear things up, the act of charging rent is different than what economists refer to as rent-seeking behavior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking)
haven't economists talked about how, in general, charging rent is not really creating economic value? patent trolls, landlords, rich investors, for example... all to some degree just rake it in based on what they already have.

When economists talk about rents and rent -seeking behavior, that's somewhat different from the common meaning of "rent". So for example you can get a monopoly rent by having all your (smaller) competitors regulated our of existence even if nothing is being rented in the traditional sense, while a landlord renting out properties in a healthy competitive market won't receive any economic rent.
It really does seem like "economic thinking" is a very rare skill. Many people seem to have a very simplistic model of economy ("Econ 101") while making all sorts of category errors (cue panic on government debt.) The discussion on renters above indicates that even simple concepts like Economic Rent[1] aren't well understand. And very few people are capable of doing serious economic analysis and/or research.

Given the dearth of such economic understanding I think the next step might just be getting people to appreciate their economic ignorance.

You can always add Boost to your project if you pine for the days of slow compiles.
It really depends on who's more desperate for the sale to happen. And it can be either side. For the most part, both sides gain. In extreme cases someone can feel forced by circumstances to either sell or buy.
Ok, then you are saying the shipper should verify every product they ship?

I mean, Fulfilled by Amazon is providing a storefront and fulfillment services for things people ship to them. If you are making the argument they should verify every item they ship then that should extend to all fulfillment providers, no?

Don't get me wrong, I think FBA and 3rd party sellers are a huge mistake for Amazon as a whole. I just disagree that the onus should be on Amazon to make sure the items people fulfill using their services are not fakes.
See my reply to WalterBright below. The transaction absolutely does benefit the buyer. But it benefits the seller more. What you're left with (a soda), you consume and it's gone. What the seller is left with, he can invest (essentially renting it out) and turn into more money.

Something good I could say about the soda is that it's 200 calories that keeps you alive a couple hours longer, and you have a chance to make some money in that time. So it might be a good investment. It's not black & white. Or a car (a cost you incur) that enables you to commute to a job you couldn't otherwise reach, that kind of thing comes close to an even benefit.

Edit to clarify: What I'm thinking of as the "absolute worth" of a good or service, is basically, "exactly the cost of providing it." If you provide everything "at cost" then you are making zero profit. Agreed that market price/supply/demand/etc. may dictate that you make more (or less) than that.
Here in Norway i don't need to download anything, the tax authority website has all the tools I need and most of it is already filled out and ready to go. All I do is check that it is all correct things (rarely), add the bits that they can't get automatically (offshore bank accounts, stocks on the new York exchange, etc.), and hit the button to say submit it.

It immediately gives me an estimate showing how much I have overpaid or underpaid.

For people with simple tax affairs, nothing offshore and not self-employed, there is nothing at all to do.

The problem is not with developers or tech savvy people. Everyome will know about this by then and solutions will be applied. The problem is with end users, who will only realize this after the shit hits the fan and their fridge will go crazy or there will be a car crash.
The problem with privacy extremists is that they are ruining the ideal of justice with their hardline stance on keeping things secret from the authorities. In effect, this stance is just pandering to child abusers, terrorists, etc. while offering very little positive to society in return. Everyone needs some level of personal transparency to the rest of society, for the collective good of society.
Calling Ben Phillips
His 'out of date' point about help resources is a key point.

SO posts should come with unit tests and library version manifests.
Mid-late 80's. A young, precocious kid spending summers at the library on their Commodore 64 creating text adventures set in Tolkien-esque vignettes. A well-worn book of BASIC exercises and puzzles at his side for reference.

Early 90's. The young teenager pilfers another Turbo-C demo disk from a thick book on the discount table at the back of the bookstore. His last demo ran out of time and he can't continue work on his game without it. He can't afford the software license. He logs onto the local BBS when he gets home and reads about something called, 'Mode-X'. Mind blown.

Late 90's. He drops out of high school to write Perl for a living. He makes a bigger salary than either of his parents ever did. More than his peers who were flipping burgers for minimum wage. He writes scripts to generate a website from his journal log files and shares it with his, "other friends." The ones who know the right incantations to make computers do things beyond playing video games or listening to music.

I wasn't a professional programmer at the time by a long stretch but I do remember having to figure most things out for myself. I caught the tail-end of the mid-80's craze to teach every kid how to program in BASIC. As a lone geek in astronomy club and pilfering his fathers' textbooks on classical mechanics I knew that computers were for programming and that was how you made computer games. I don't think I would've understood trigonometry or linear algebra any other way.

It's amazing how much the Internet has changed absolutely everything. Somewhere between 1999 - 2007 when persistent, high-speed access became the new normal programming changed. CPAN was a big deal and a huge tool... that idea caught on like wildfire. Now every language has a package manager and you can hardly start getting anything done without downloading a hundred or so megabytes of source code first. Learning has changed completely. We forget as easily as we discover since the knowledge is persisted for us. Learning about Duff's Device was a huge step for me... now I work with programmers who don't even know what the size of an integer is (a silly question of course... but totally unaware of how such a construct is implemented in the machine) and they do great work and provide immense value. Yet they couldn't construct a binary tree or heap if they needed to; the default is to, "just google it."

Yet when push-comes-to-shove I still find that sometimes forgetting all of that lets you get real, productive work done. Analysis, paralysis is a real problem in the face of an abundance of choice. Especially when there's not a clear "match" to your requirements. Sometimes it's just easier to solve the problem with your own solution that fits your use case.
FMA is used in literally everything that deals with floats and has AVX2/FMA3 support, not just audio. AVX usage in game code isn't actually all that common, though, due to the need to support lowest common denominators.

And no, this specific sequence isn't ever run. If it were, they'd have found it while designing the chip. I checked the original source and it's hand written FMA3 intrinsics that don't correspond to a real computation.

jesus christ you guys; I have been telling you about this since 1997
Okay, pure anecdotal but: exactly the same "complaint" including exactly the same advice (minus the "web" ) could be found some 20 years ago. Not only it seems the field is not "structurally" changing much, it seems people are people, still ;) ... and "CRUD" moved to the web.
You're not wrong - the Vcore boost when both AVX pipes are powered up causes increased dissipation, but a large part of that is also caused by ... well, AVX processing huge amounts of data.

For similar reasons server processors (Xeon E5, E7 series) throttle the core clock in AVX "mode".
Man, thank you for being courageous. Your writing has changed my life and choosing differently in that moment would have restricted my life.

I don't think this has anything to do with DRM. As Pollock mentions, they release their books DRM free.
Agreed that Amazon should make it clearer when it is the actual seller, but, in your example, you knowingly bought from a third party. Why would this affect your future purchases from Amazon when Amazon is the seller?
There's no way to report a counterfeit on Amazon unless you're claiming a violation of your own IP rights. I've complained about fake solid state relays. There are lots of fake "Fotek" solid state relays. UL has noticed.[1] The fakes are usually marked with much higher amp ratings than they can handle safely. Look at this "100 amp" fake "Fotek" relay on Amazon.[2] Fotek doesn't even make a 100 amp relay in that packaging. [3] 100 amps requires bigger terminals.

These things tend to fail into the ON state, which is not good. Or they melt down or catch fire under full load.

For actual redesign, you end up with a long true refactoring iteration when no new features can be added. There is no guarantee you will not repeat the same mistakes or make it worse.

> The difference is that Google isn't pirating the book. It is being hosted on Google Docs. This is no different than if someone put the PDF on Dropbox and made it public. It isn't Google's pirate link.

Google has just exploited a loophole in the law that allows them to provide all the technical expertise and infrastructure to profit from piracy, while remaining legally non-liable.
This is interesting. Perhaps prices went up and the culture of SXSW attendees are shifting, from startups to the more mainstream. Also, SXSW seemed saturated with costs and crowds, and is a potential unwise use of funds for many companies. A few won the SXSW lottery each year, but many did some networking like any other conferences. Perhaps it's a sign of maturity amongst how people are spending VC money?
Respectively exponential or linear in the input size. The NFA in exchange is exponential in the states (or rather, it's deterministic counterpart is).
No Linux support might be a biggie.
This issue list on the OpenAPI GitHub repo is full of requests for change. The spec hasn't changed in a long time, and although this is a fairly big change, it shouldn't be a particularly difficult change for tooling folks to adapt to. This isn't a new standard, it's just a new name, with some fixes and some new features.
