Have you used a laptop with a touchscreen? Because I thought the same way you seem to until I did. A decade of getting used to touchscreen phones and tablets has made it feel really natural to interact directly with a screen. It's not world changing, but that extra input stream is a very pleasant addition, and sometimes it's just more natural to tap the screen directly.
There's no need for search at all - when you find the article on its regular site, just edit the domain to end with '.sci-hub.io'

For example, http://science.sciencemag.org/content/339/6121/819 becomes http://science.sciencemag.org.sci-hub.io/content/339/6121/81...
Yes, the value is much smaller since your power to keep it is smaller. But the amount will also be smaller. And I would say there are still quite a few situations where having something of trade value is better than having nothing.
Yeah after reading more from his side, that's also what I'm guessing.
That is only what you are signaling to Leftist ideologues who take any departure from Social Justice doctrine as an excuse to construct straw man caricatures.

Who here is old enough to remember Larry Ellison's Network Computer? Chromebook is the realization of Larry Ellison's vision.

Back in the mid 90's Larry Ellison said, "we need computers that do less, not more". He was widely ridiculed at that time. Now we know he was right.
Something about your numbers seem way, way off (by two orders of magnitude, actually). Could you explain better or point to references?

That's an interesting question. I'd like to know too. At a K-12 school, that has chosen a particular platform, there's an implicit commitment to support that platform from an IT standpoint.

At a university, where it's "bring your own," you're more likely to run into situations where somebody's technology has only been tested on a handful of mainstream platforms and browsers, and if you don't have one of those, then your problems are your fault.

You'd hate to get the call: "I need to finish an assignment by tonight at 11 PM, and the software only runs on Mac or Windows."

With that said, there are low cost Windows computers that are almost throwaway, and quite robust. My carry-around computer is an Asus Windows notebook that I got for 100 bucks refurbished.
Got you. Uniq indexes are a thing in MongoDB as well, but I can see that just another schema-like behavior and doesn't fit what I was saying earlier.

You mean "building logic around the db" by using ORMs as opposed to SQL queries?
Well, I'm in Portugal. I've actually just bought some accessories off Amazon DE and they do stock a few Acer models, but they're not the newest fare (and I couldn't use one with a German keyboard).

I wouldn't agree with what you say completely. I wouldn't say gold is replaced by real estate. That doesn't mean that real estate can't be a source of power, though.

The article really dances around the obvious answer to the question in the title: "because Germany is a conquered puppet state of the US."
Honestly, after reading the title I was hoping for an article describing a full reverse engineering :(. Still very interesting nonetheless, good work!

A big problem with Google's reliance on ads for revenue is the automatic lack of trust when it comes to privacy issues. Even though the GSuite for Education privacy policies are strict, it's hard for people to trust the company. Perhaps a third party auditor to verify all public claims would increase trust. Or we might have to wait until Google's revenues are more diversified. (Disclosure: I work at Google.)
No one ever chooses Oracle or Sybase on technical merits.

That is, although those two products may indeed have some merit, that is not why they are chosen.

I believe that you're overestimating Academia.edu's potential influence.

The whole reason that Elsevier et al. can make so much money is that researchers can keep doing exactly what they have always been doing. Researchers themselves don't see the publishers' invoices, let alone pay them, and they are under essentially no pressure to cut costs. In particular, Elsevier has no influence whatsoever in academia -- they just make shitloads of money.

Managing academics is often compared to "herding cats"; it is uncommon for academics to be very willing to realign themselves according to external factors. (Exception: grant funding agencies.) Anyone trying to make money in this industry should keep this in mind.
Hah remember it well when I was trying to get to 20 stone.
> "Are put"? What you describe is a "WG" ("Wohngemeinschaft" roughly "living community") which is simply a co-rental. So nobody "is put" there, you search and rent what you can find. WGs are generally recommended for foreign students because it allows better socializing and integration.

Yes, there are normal WGs, and if you get a room in a WG your payment is usually a fair share.

But there is also the situation where foreign students have to sign time limited (unkündigbar) contracts for beds in WGs. I'd be happy to hear that this doesn't everywhere, but I was basically the guy who delivered the students to these apartments on their first day, so it certainly happens at one university.

And sadly I know that there are foreigners who rent private apartments in the same fashion to foreign students from their country with the same method, all over Berlin, so probably also in other cities. However that's not the exploitation I'm talking about.

Lastly let me repeat that: I talk about an experience here, that I was part of because I didn't know it at first. I don't interpret general newspaper knowledge or something.
Thank you very much for your valuable insight !
I think these are not historical facts. Common wisdom has it that Germany was forced into the Euro by the French as a precondition for the reunification. This sounds at least plausible.

http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/the-price-of-uni...

The new narrative of Germany using the Euro for domination is a bit off.

Note that "The Spiegel" is not a nationalist magazine, quite the opposite.
That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying use an ORM that does not rely on migrations to form the schema. I can't think of a single one that does.

My OS (macOS), laptop, router, gaming console, watch, camera, computer, phone, tablet, TV, set-top box, GPS unit and more run commercial software. They all include "free software" somewhere in the stack. Whether it's the Linux kernel, uclibc, busybox, libpng/libjpeg/libtiff or Webkit, it's there.

It's much more prevalent than people think, partly because it is rarely discussed or acknowledged.

If we look at web applications, you can be assured that the vast majority of them use free software somewhere in the stack. It's usually the case that the majority of dependencies in such products are "free".
In the early 1990s, mainstream pop music was arguably a broader scene than it is now, inasmuch as hip-hop and R&B were both undergoing considerable evolution and present in several distinct forms in the charts, rock was still a strong force, and country music was briefly expanding to new markets. Compare that to today when rock is dead and hip-hop and R&B have increasingly merged into a single electronica style.

That said, beneath the surface of that pop mainstream is an incredible diversity of music available to any listener who cares to seek it out, and we are living in a music golden age even if we might be living in a pop culture depression.
Good grace. In Germany, this opinion is considered to be in the militant right wing spectrum (aka sovereign citizens/Reichsbürger movement), I'm surprised and disgusted to see this here on HN as the top-rated comment.

I've used oracle. Its awesome. Expensive. But awesome. If I have to pay, postgres is OK. But oracle is really really good. If they were laptop operating systems, postgres would be Debian, oracle would be Mac os x.
Man. I remember growing up reading books about Nazi Germany and Russia where they had two classes of prisoner in their jails, political prisoners and 'common' prisoners (thieves, etc)

It sure feels fucking crazy to think the US has political prisoners in its own jails now.

Windows Update is on, but why would I not want that? It's on all my other systems and devices.

There is no plausible set of circumstances in which Brown would have faced "100 years in prison". The press (and the DOJ) arrive at these false prospective sentencing claims by taking every individual count and adding them up. But that's not how federal sentencing works: under the sentencing guidelines, like charges group, and the sentence applying to the most severe charge defines the sentence. The severity of a sentence will have to do with a defined set of factors, including previous criminal history, actual harm done, remunerative intent, &c.

Even then, the vast majority of professional use of Office is handled perfectly well by their online offering or Google's Docs.

In a lot of professional environments it is not. First of all, many employers do not like uploading documents into a cloud.

Secondly, in an organization that uses Microsoft Office (which is probably still the vast majority of organizations), it is often not a replacement. A lot of Office files (especially with macros, etc.) do not work properly. Colleagues expect you return a document with updates with Office's 'track changes' functionality ("here, you have a Google Docs link with my changes to your Word document" will not fly).

I think Microsoft still has a large advantage in big organizations, due to their traditional dominance. And Office 365/Exchange has added collaboration features as well (that work with Office on Mac and Windows).

In the Photon GUI, there was a bar at the lower right of the screen showing how much memory was in use. If you tried to start a program and it wouldn't fit, you got an error message. Existing programs continued to run, but requests for more memory might return an error. In the real time world, you don't ask the OS for memory after startup for anything critical.
Though it's not like it's the first season of a new show, so people who love the show likely still have Netflix or their own way of watching the show. If it was some show they've yet to release that would be potential subscribers lost maybe. Although it is no secret that people will find their ways of not paying for Netflix.
My reading is that all the homeland security officers can see is a flag that such a file exists - they had no way of knowing (and should have no way of knowing!) what is actually in OP's file.

I think you'll like Postgres. At least, that's been my experience working with those three, that it is the most comfortable.
PG JSON implementation is solid and supports nearly everything you want from a document database, with the added bonus of joins, queries, ACID, and tooling. However, syntax can be awkward at times -

# Find a row by JSON property value
select * from person where details->>'name' ilike '%james%'

# check for property existence
select * from person where details ? 'is_hidden'

# Override a single property in a JSON field -
update person set details = details || '{"phone":"911"}'

# Alt increment existing value
update person set details = jsonb_set(details, '{views}', (details->'views')+1)

For as long as the US has had prisons, it has had prisoners who claimed to be held for political reasons, and supporters who acknowledged and amplified those claims. Sometimes those claims are almost certainly true, as anyone who's spent any time volunteering with Amnesty surely knows. Other times, they are not. Barrett Brown would certainly prefer you to look at his conviction as politically motivated. But there's a lot of things Brown would like you to believe that are probably false.
I'm not quite parsing the logic of doing this.

If she is getting fooled that carbonated water is 'juice', then I'm assuming she doesn't know what juice actually is and therefore has no association of juice = sugar drink. So why the need to trick your daughter?

Couldn't you have just called it 'fizzy water', or if water is associated with 'boring', call it 'fizzy drink'. She'd still get it from the bar and have the excitement of that.

It sounds like you're not so much in "the" industry but a subset of the industry that doesn't consider free open source software to be an option.

If you're fighting the attitude that the only viable option is one that costs a ton of money instead of a decision based on technical merit, additional facts about Postgres won't help.

Sometimes the decision gets made on a golf course and not after reading very long texts.
The fact that Germany was conquered is an indisputable historical fact. Most people in the present day, myself included, are happy about that outcome. The fact, however, is clear.

I'll admit that speculating about US influence over Germany is more debatable, but I'm fairly amused that you're "disgusted" by that debate.
Fun, I used to build various things with the 76495 (http://robotics.mcmanis.com/resource/rs_sn76495.pdf) and I'm not sure what exactly is different between the two, apparently there were at least 3 'complex sound generators' in the TI family( '477, '488, '495 ). When RadioShack discontinued them I bought 6 or 7 of them from the discount table for 50 cents each.

Of course these days you'd use a microprocessor to generate all of the sounds these could do. But it would still be fun to build the sound effects kit that RS use to sell.
> many consider Rowling a big neoliberal type

These people are either wrong or have a very strange definition of "neoliberal". It seems to have become, like "socialist", an all-purpose swear word to apply to people whose politics you don't like.

Rowling is an old-school Labourite, solidly pro-welfare state, Unionist and Remainer.

"You have to take the initiative to use what they provide in a way that does what you need."

The end of net neutrality means they control what they or others can provide to you. That includes the ability to give you what they need you to use instead of what you need. So, you can't just use what they provide for your needs. The main article showed the ISP's and mediums before them repeatedly did this. There's no reason to trust they won't do it again as they're already scheming on us. The Comcast cap was a recent example I personally had to fight where they were faking my data usage counting up bandwidth when the computers weren't on and wifi was unplugged.

Nah, open, decentralized, and bazaar is the best model for the Internet because that's what gave us all the great things that the Prodigies, Compuserves, MA Bell's, etc didn't.
Any free or open source software license does not need an EULA, and presenting it as such is antithetical to the entire idea of free software.

You by definition do not need to agree to any free software license before you use the software, you can vehemently disagree with it or completely ignore its existence.

The license only exists to give you extra rights you didn't already have under standard copyright law (permission to distribute the program & modify it, under certain conditions).

An EULA is a dubious legal hack used by proprietary software to deprive you of rights you'd have had anyway if not for the EULA, which is the exact opposite of how free software works.

Edit: A lot of people are replying to this saying I'm incorrect. I'm not. A lot of free software licenses such as the GPL v2 spell out explicitly that they have nothing to do with anything except copying/distribution or modification:

> Activities other than copying, distribution
> and modification are not covered by this License;
> they are outside its scope.[...]

The GPL v3 says the same thing in different words, and as FigBug points out downthread the general FSF license FAQ makes this clear[1].

The Open Source definition also asserts this by proxy. Licenses aren't allowed to impose any restrictions on users that they wouldn't have anyway if they had no license to the software.

Really, if you use free software you can just completely ignore all the licenses and you don't need to understand or have read any of them. This is one of the beautiful things about free software that separates it from EULA-using proprietary software.

Of course you need to understand the licenses if you want to distribute the software in any way, but that entirely falls under the umbrella of activity you didn't have permission for without the license, it would be copyright infringement by default.

This is also why free software organizations like the FSF would as a last resort sue someone for copyright infringement, not violating the GPL (but of course adhering to the GPL would bring them back into compliance).

This is different from proprietary software companies which might sue you over violations of their own made up rules, which you supposedly agreed to via the EULA.

The EULA is a hack to try to apply contract law to your use of the program, whereas free software & open source licenses purely piggy-back on copyright law.

All those licenses are a way to say "here's stuff we allow you to do, which you didn't have legal permission to do anyway in the absence of this license, given certain conditions" (or no conditions for e.g. the WFTPL).

Did you happen to notice how many shift-register stages made up the PRNG for the white-noise output? I'm sure I've got one of the chips on hand, so (eventually) I can 'scope the output for a good guess, but it'd be good to have a more immediate eyewitness report.
The reason I mentioned the long run and a populist revolutionist because it takes many years for the labor force to adjust. An entire generation that can't find productive jobs for a decade is a very dangerous thing. This led to considerable political turmoil in the US in the 1930s. Unfortunately, I see something similar on the horizon in the service sector.
Who wants to run a test and fedex direct letters like Davinci's to top CEOs? A long form letter with detailed touting of your technical accomplishments as well as your ideas and inventions, rather than the currently en vogue brief email, "would love to chat with you and see if we can work together to power your growth and mission!"
I would be happy if taxes couldn't be used to pay for nonfree software. If all government servers and government office PCs and school computers had to run free software, there surely would be money to support its development.

great read, but may I also suggest Array?

being able to have a field like:

ingredients VARCHAR[]

and index like:

USING GIN (ingredients)

and using an operator like @>

SELECT * FROM table WHERE ingredients @> ARRAY['mushrooms', 'sour cream']

gives you such amazing flexibility and speed, it's not even funny.

also, while I was sad to not see PLV8 up there with PostGIS (an amazing extension, btw), I was still happy to see it mentioned with such gusto.
It heavily depends on importance. If you're dying from thirst in a desert you won't care if someone is offering you water in a 'witty and interesting' way or not. The less something is important (or unique) the more entertainment you need to sell it.
That's probably doable. I think you don't want to start with the patch I linked, since that disables all terminal sync and all use of the Terminal classes. Instead, try editing Terminal::Framebuffer to have a concept of both normal rows and scrollback rows, and adjust Terminal::Display's new_frame function to sync the scrollback rows in some different way. Note that there's already some code in that function to do scrollback, if the diff between two frames consists of scrolling.

(I haven't really contributed to mosh and haven't looked at the codebase in years, so asking on the mailing list or IRC is probably a better place to start)
Absolutely. If people don't trust that the fed has all its gold, people would be wary of buying gold in there. But Switzerland managed to sell 1300 tons of it, presumably at reasonable prices for the time. That's a lot of buyers who don't worry about their purchases not existing.
Or you can do the reverse, have the ORM generate the database schema.
