> That's what I do. Hello MIT/BSD

But what if you write a library or something that becomes popular, very popular or very useful, and your users and others (maybe yourself) want to add a great feature, but it is something that is very difficult to do, or would require more than a single developer to do - in short, it would take a while to do, if possible at all...

...then company B comes along, sees how well you're doing, and says to themselves "you know, this would be great to have that market - and oh, look - the BSD license...perfect!"

So they take your code, add in the changes the users are clamoring for (because they have the resources to do so), then make it all proprietary (perhaps - if you're lucky - with a message buried in 4pt font somewhere that say's a "thank you" and "copyright, etc" to your efforts, as required by the BSD license) - then they market the hell out of it to your users.

Your users see it all - and the flock to it, leaving your efforts to wither and die. You won't be able to catch up, and those extra features they added will keep your old users happy. Perhaps they release an API to allow others to use it, but never the source code.

They've now locked it up, and all your hard work is for nothing. But hey, you used the BSD license, and all's good, right?

/...and this is why OSX is more popular than BSD...
Sounds like a very interesting (and ambitious!) project, looking forward to hearing more about it!
Ha, yeah, I'm a man. I think if people knew you're not a native speaker they'd have cut you more slack. While "man" can be used in an informal and friendly way ("congratulations man!" wouldn't have raised any eyebrows), "woman" doesn't work that way. Instead, it comes across as sexist, since the only time you hear it is a chauvinistic man bossing a woman around ("dammit, woman, get over here!"). I admit it doesn't make sense, but there's English for ya.
I'd like to "TRY" before making a bigger cash commitment. I can pay BUT want to have an 1 off article to see the quality. I am not saying free. Just gimme a taste. Before i fork over the dough.
And as the author of the code writes 2-4 times, he looked for the literally mentioned quote and didn't find it -- he even posted the grep results.

He only found that it was "bitch" (single word) later from a later corrected comment and fixed it (out in the open, in the the public code repository in any way).

In any case, again, not technical, not a WTF, and not pertaining to the actual code/implementation.

Now that's brand loyalty.

That's exactly the point. I am not including the government in my definition of safety. Rather, the focus is purely on safety from an illegal point of view (murder, rape, robbery, etc.).
No, I think King is paying Microsoft a hefty price to advertise to you directly in your start menu.

Thanks for checking it out. txtpen differs from hypothesis in 2 aspects.

1. Full publisher control. Publishers can moderate and pin highlights on their sites. However, all annotations can be retrieved via RESTful API as per W3C standards.

2. Only pick the best highlights to value add the reader. Otherwise annotation is nothing more than digital graffiti.

Also, we strive to be the best annotation service out there. The load speed is within 150ms compared to 2080ms of hypothesis. And we plan to cut that by half to within 60ms which is below perception threshold. The experience will be magical.
Interesting, I wonder if you could say the analogy holds that manufacturing is to improving a country's economic output what space programs are to improving a country's scientific output.
Ah, thanks, will read through.

A/B testing is orthogonal to TDD, yes, and that's really the point: there's many forms of testing (usability testing, testing user interest, as well as A/B testing) whose goal is completely different than verifying a specification. Often they are useful when creating the specification.

And maintaining stable software is very different than spinning up new product, yes. So you need to start with business goals, work down to testing goals, and then choose testing techniques based on those.
...and my download link was broken this morning. Just fixed this in case anyone wanted to give it test drive now.
Make sure you look at Phabricator, too. It's great and the dev team is highly professional.

Has a Trello-like work board, good project management and - most importantly - a sane and highly optimized workflow that works very well for a number of large companies and open source projects.

I'll just link to another comment of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13939608

Happy to answer any questions! (give it a few hours though)
Opening up cyberspace with Matrix and WebVR
that's interesting to hear your opinion. Mine couldn't be more different. To start with in 2312, the science has largely been explained in the Mars Trilogy - whereas 2312 is more detective novel set in space than sci fi. I'm not sure why the service tunnel (or the rail system and city of Terminator itself, actually) are so far out there given just how far off things we are talking. You've got thousands of hollowed out terria and genetic engineering of humans where sex changes to one side and back again before settling in the middle are commonplace, and it's the metamaterials that defy your belief?

Part of good literature and movies is being sold the story so as to suspend disbelief. This has always happened with KSR's books for me. Funnily enough, it didn't happen with Breaking Bad - I couldn't finish it.

Anyway, diversity makes the world an interesting place!
This doesn't surprise me. A company I used to work for fielded a team at most Pwn2Own competitions, and it was widely regarded as "not good sport" to take on a Samsung phone because they were so bad.
Do you have any examples of prior art? Sounds really interesting.
Private school is popular in SF because there's nothing to stop your randomly assigned public school from being on the other side of the city, so anyone who fails the lottery goes private or moves out of the city. There are inexpensive private schools, like Catholic schools.
As johnmaguire2013 guessed, we will have a browser extension which will request a 2FA code from the mobile app. The mobile app will receive a push notification and ask the user whether they would like to allow or deny the request for a second factor of authentication. The user only needs to click one button on their phone and the 2FA code is securely sent to the browser where everything else related to submitted the 2FA code can be automated.

The browser extension can integrate with any site that currently supports 2FA without any integration or changes required on the part of the sites.

Let me know if you have any more questions! Do you think you be willing to change your 2FA workflow to the one described above? If no, what are some of your concerns, thoughts, etc? Any and all feedback is appreciated!
No one ask the question, why is an 2017 Mac Pro still with 22nm CPU, 28nm GPU, no USB 3.1.

None of these has anything to do with Thermals.

I am betting Apple will switch to AMD's Ryzen CPU in their next iMac.

I have to say that whilst I suspect that most airport security theatre actually does have the effect of acting as a terrorist deterrent, if only by encouraging terrorists to pick softer targets, publicly announcing the idea of more routine random phone searches is much more likely to be actively counterproductive (i.e. encourage potential terrorist to improve their opsec)
Anyone who just cares about the numbers: he was given options of 45,000 shares, of which 15,000 had vested. These 15,000, or 0.0833% of the company, were available to him at $0.27/share, or $4,050 total. So he had the opportunity to buy 0.0833% of the company at a $4.8MM valuation. Given that they recently raised $20MM at an undefined valuation it really says something that he chose not to exercise the options. I really recommend you all read the post.

Also, damn, that email from the CEO about his private Twitter. That's completely out of line.

For those of you that didn't read the article, the CEO called him out about a specific tweet (on a personal account with only 146 followers) where he linked to GitLab's page on Github for crying out loud.

(also, curious note: this comment went from 4 points to zero in less than five minutes. Hmmmm.)
the map readers are the best thing in rally. Well, and the spectators who push the cars from ditches and turn them right side up again etc...
Is there some source for these percentages or are the numbers generated purely from a sense of "I like this group" vs "I don't like that group"?
Yup, you nailed it. That is exactly the plan. Any thoughts on that approach? Do you think you might be willing to update your current 2FA workflow to the one described above?

(1) Considering the problem of real time logistics for spoilable goods to support our startup http://8-food.com/. Interestingly in nominal approach I am finding a lot of crossover with a previous cryptocurrency-focused transaction system I conceived building a Bitcoin exchange 6 years ago @ http://www.ifex-project.org/our-proposals/ifex/2012-04-11-pa... ... basically each node within the network becomes an independent agent with centralized reporting but also an internal logistics and scheduling system. Many potentially useful related fields exist like Supply Chain Management (SCM), Operations Research (OR), Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing, high availability engineering, risk management, game theory, etc.

(2) Learning mechanical engineering to build the http://8-food.com machines. Many different sides from HVAC to industrial magnetism to UVGI to exotic door hinges to available materials and production processes to 3D modeling. Big job. Visiting factories, speed-reading huge numbers of books.

(3) Relocating my family and company to Shenzhen. Getting buy-in, travel and shipping, getting to know the city, projecting near and medium term requirements, real estate hunting, etc.

(4) Determining and achieving the ultimate international legal structure for the company. Obtaining advice, comparing different jurisdictions based upon their legal and financial infrastructure, degree of precedent, multi-provider fees, government fees, possible bottom-line benefit under disparate investment scenarios, etc.
This problem is really hard to solve with technology, which is why either the legislative or the courts have to do their job (and need to be prodded to do it).

Specifically, it's not enough to hide your social media accounts/photos/calendar/contacts from your phone. That's so obvious, they'll simply treat it the same as denying to give them your password. So what you'd need is a set of completely innocent accounts. Yet faking a complete online presence, and doing in a way that a smart algorithm doesn't notice, is almost impossible.

Two more problems with some proposals that I've heard so far are that (a) they would require a significant fraction of travellers to use so as not to the few that do suspicious and (b) the drastic power imbalance at the border–people are willing to endure a lot to avoid being send back on the same plane and ruining their holidays.

I also have problems understanding the doctrine that renders foreigners basically unprotected at the border. If "all men are created equal" and the Bill of Rights only enumerates natural law that exists before government, should those not apply to non-citizen?
This presents a question I've had for a while. Suppose I want a small number of units (say the 15000 he has here) in a company that's pre-IPO, is there a standardized agreement for me to buy it from him?

While his past employer probably has right of first refusal on the units, wouldn't he still come out ahead if I wanted to pay him, say, $10000 for the 15000 units?

Could they have legally pre-emptively blocked the sale? Are there standard agreements where I could take ownership of the value behind those units without having full ownership or voting rights?

So each time I travel to Canada/Mexico, I have to leave my computer and tablet at home and spend an additional $50+ for a disposable phone that must remain free of all my personal data... You're proposing that as an acceptable solution to US law enforcement stealing my keychain and all my private data simply because they're standing a few feet outside US soil, which they claim entitles them to most certainly violate the intent of the US Constitution, which every customs officer has sworn an oath to defend? So NOT.
I think PG once wrote an essay explaining that most press is agenda-driven and there's somebody with money behind the story.

I wonder if that's the case here. F1 just passed out of Bernie Ecclestone's hands and has a new leadership team as well as shareholder base. They are aiming to revamp the sport and make it more exciting by addressing a lot of the issues brought up in other comments, like the rules stacking the deck in favor of rich teams and the fact that there is no streaming/digital option available to global fans.
Aside from bearings, motors, and possibly some fasteners, it will basically be entirely 3D printed.

I'm using printed spur geartrains that will have all kinds of backlash. In an effort to make something that is primarily printed, I'm throwing any hope of precision out the window. At least mechanical precision - we can use visual servoing to get more accuracy at the end effector.

But my hope is that the other benefits (low cost, easily changeable design, good speed and strength characteristics) will make it useful even with poor rigidity.

I imagine for example pulling things out of fixtures and moving them in to boxes.

There must be a good variety of tasks that can be done with an arm like this. I'm working to the strengths of 3D printing and not trying to fight what it isn't good for.

That said, I may reinforce the frame with a carbon fiber wrap if more stiffness is needed.

The goal is to have a low BOM cost AND low tooling cost so I want to avoid the need for any metalworking equipment.
I can't believe there are still string overflow bugs. Might be a good idea to invest sometime in Rust. On a side note, I have been looking for a good doc on how I can slowly migrate my existing code base step-by-step to Rust. A total rewrite is out of question, we would rather ship our product step by step. Does anyone know of such a doc?

If you're in debt or you can't break your lease, there's only ever very short windows to change your life. And it wasn't until recently that you could find FI-style communities about avoiding debt.
Very good question! I have considered this issue too. This form of weighting is the kind used in ADAM, and is qualitatively different from the updates described here. The tools of analysis in this article can be used to understand that iteration too, (this amounts to a different R matrix) and I would be curious to see if it too allows for a quadratic speedup.

[EDIT] As per halfling's comment, this is just a change of the learning rate by (1-beta)
I think it's a very cool idea! The other big UX issue with 2FA (in my opinion) is backup & restore -- nail both and you'll have a pretty solid product.

For disclosure, I work for Duo, so I'm a big believer in push-based 2FA. (Consider applying if you're interested in usable security!)
1. You are comparing all of tesla models to individual models from other brands

2. You want to speculate on the future market, go ahead, I dont think Tesla has any special position on lithium batteries.

3. Solar is not a hockey stick, not sure what trend lines you are talking about.

4. Talk to anyone working on self driving cars and they will tell you level 5 is at least 10 years away. Can a tesla drive on icey road in northern canada in blizzard conditions with a couple failed sensors? Nope, then it is not level 5.
Well, they need to be mutually exclusive when you can't even provide the minimum necessary for your citizens to live by.

I can understand a poor - but not totally destitute - country to invest in advanced technology, but no, I can't understand why in a country where thousands every year die or are severely affected by hunger, is investing in space technology instead of helping the immediate needs of its citizens.

It would be like a family in a household were you are about to die of hunger or of some disease by lack of treatment, made their priority to pay your university tuition fees instead.

there is a reason, human physical capabilities were surpassed in the 80s with F1 due to massive power from turbos, improved aero, and active hydraulic suspension. They were right on the edge of having drivers passing out due to G-LOCK. Since then the technology has to be restrained because of the drivers, primarily because no company will sponsor a race car where there is a good chance the driver will pass out and crash.

Have you looked at the protobuf grpc implementation. I find it way simpler than swagger. It also generates your server code as well.
Actually in Germany there is no longer a law that forces the retailer to cover the return shipping costs. They will have to refund your money no questions asked, including the shipping fee you paid, if you return the item in the first two weeks, but not the return shipping. But since for a few years there was such a law, it is very very commonly offered anyway.

And also you can in principle be asked to cover any loss of value if you damaged the product or used it in any way that was not "necessary for testing/evaluation".

So far I had to return every item I did not like or that arrived damaged. Especially for obviously damaged goods it makes no direct sense for them to ask for it back to trow it away on their end, but I really think at least a retailer like amazon does not just hand waive a decision like that and has some economic reasons.

Somewhat related, once I noticed a significant price drop the day after I had bought a product from amazon, and asked support if they could refund me the difference. They could not, but told me to just order another one for the lower price and refuse the delivery of the first order (which means the logistics company returns the item directly).

So clearly "cheaper and simpler" for a company like amazon is not always as straightforward as one might expect.
I love the sound of a dive computer HUD - though I'd be curious to see how it would be affected if your mask leaks. I guess the 'watch' would still be present - probably a good idea as masks can get lost (I had mine accidentally kicked off by a fellow diver once).

I do take issue with your assertion that certifications can be cast asunder. A lot of what's learnt is about safe diving (e.g. don't dive after you fly, safer dive profiles, what to expect at different depths wrt buoyancy changes, dci, getting narced, etc.) and what to do when technology fails.

Wetsuit buoyancy has a due to neoprene is pretty handy if you surface and are in distress. If you're towing an unconscious diver, for example, and are only relying on their bcd to keep them afloat their legs drag terribly (as is the case for dry suits) and it makes the rescue very very difficult. There are other safety advantages too - it's not clear to me why getting rid of buoyancy is a great idea.
Amazon's search function sucks hard if you're looking for anything other than a top seller (aka, a cheap knockoff of something) in a common category. I'm glad to see someone tried to fix this issue, even if Amazon was too short sighted to take advantage of it.

That is true of almost anywhere. In the US, overseas, big cities, small cities. At least in the US, the current migration pattern is back toward cities, after the move to the suburbs of the past couple of generations.
