> agpl is best for control

In my personal opinion, AGPL is largely chosen to avoid various cloud providers from profiting significantly from $product, without ever giving back. That's control, but a very specific form of it. I don't personally like AGPLs legalese, it's very very imprecise.
Lots of things have button and aren't maliciously masquerading as download links. Furthermore, if they start doing that then ad producers will start changing their ad images to evade the algorithm. It's much harder to use ML for a problem when you have a malicious opponent actively working against it.

Ships are also incredibly unregulated on the type of fuel they use and their emissions, which, while bad for the environment, lowers the cost significantly.
Right. I agree completely. Unfortunately, most people want to stay "asleep" in The Swamp of Familiarity.

It also does not help in today's bubble economy: companies are financially engineered and few innovations and inventions get made. A Big Idea to most people now-a-days is: "A small idea that makes big profits". So your job to cut through that and inspire people is a very important one.

Our local chapter of Papers We Love has been looking for articles sort of like this one but a little longer (maybe 3-10 pages), on either Bell Labs or Xerox PARC. Any suggestions?

I think logging in with someone else's username/password, defacing the website, corrupting/deleting files and stealing data to start a rival business are all crimes.

I draw the line here. If my username/password still work it should be lawful to continue to use. For example if I buy a subscription to a saas product and my card expires, if the service continues to allow me access I should be able to legally use the product until the saas restricts my access.
> Having studied the BC stack, I would say that the biggest obstacle will be to get engineers to dare try something new. To many SW-engineers on the web-side today, don't really have sufficient skills to understand BC-technology.

I find those sentences make an interesting pair: they're both huge assertions at odds with the general consensus and you didn't support either of them. The usual complaint of web developers is that they're endlessly drawn to new things, so it seems like some evidence would be in order to claim they're suddenly extremely conservative in this one area. Similarly, since Bitcoin proponents like to talk about about simple and easy to use it is, it seems implausible to blame everything on a lack of skill.

The comparison to P2P is interesting: the technology was rapidly adopted in a few areas where it offered a clear win but, similarly, had various people pitching it as the solution to all problems and claiming that skeptics were ignorant luddites. Since those products all failed, perhaps it would be better to work on answering those questions rather than dismissing them?

> If that occurs and you constructed it correctly, your company may well be able to skip on taxes as well, as a side-effect.

This kind of argument is not going to change the reputation Bitcoin has for being most of interest to crooks.

Sorry - I should have been clearer. I'm in the UK, where there is a pretty sharp distinction between the taught Masters, taken both by intending academics and by others (but in neither case are you in any real sense a colleague of the faculty) and the PhD programme proper (where you are, albeit a very junior one).

Academics in my department were on first-name terms with both the MSc and PhD students, though in other ways the nature of the relationship was as different as you describe.

TBH, my experience of pre-academic workplaces was also that people would be referred to by name rather than title. I know that varies a lot depending on where you are.
Ninite has the advantage of being self-contained in a single executable, though. Chocolatey looks like something you have to install, which makes it poorly suited for quickly installing something on a machine that's not yours.

Perhaps one of the solutions is to acknowledge that you cannot have it all ways. In general, society demands that men have all the positive traits of masculinity, without any of the perceived negatives. A woman may marry a man because he is a successful career-orientated man. Later, she may divorce him because he’s not sensitive enough to her emotional needs.

Exceptions aside, certain traits tend to go together, for better or for worse, and this is the case with both masculinity and femininity. In this way, I wish people were more accepting and less judgemental.

I had had two fairly good long term relationships before, both of which ended abruptly, The first time, I got kicked out, the second, I initiated the breakup. I said to my self, "the next one that comes along is going to be the one". I was playing guitar in a cheap bar one night and a friend's friend walked in with her friend. As they walked in, through the smoky, bleary light, that girl turned and smiled at me. End of story.
If you tell me how AES works and also give me the key you're using, then you're compromised. DRM relies on giving consumers the decryption key but making it hard for them to figure out how the system works (and sometimes making it hard to isolate the decryption key you've delivered to them).
It was probably a poor example but I read it as "don't have fun but be fun".

> At 32, I don't count a social networking startup and an incubator for much of a resume especially with respect to running the government of the 6th largest economy in the world.

I came here to say the same thing. I am not American but politics is pretty much the same all over the world nowadays.

Effective leadership in political positions demands specialized knowledge and skills developed over long periods of time. This is so often ignored.
Socio-economic problems do not succumb to neat textbook solutions. The real world is messy

To add to my previous points.

Many people labor under the misconception that solutions are lacking to many problems they face in their communities and the job of the politician is to magically conjure them.
This is false.

There are some issues with no clear way to solve them but these are the minority. For the vast majority of problems(think teacher shortages, healthcare costs, pollution, government corruption etc) solutions exist: it is the political will and organization to implement them that is lacking.

What it illustrates the need for is understanding why you're receiving things (which is a pretty vital outside of software, too). If you pay for your product then you won't see phishing on the download page. If it's a subscription fee, then they're going to make it difficult to abandon or switch away from. And if it's "free", then who knows what's going on - maybe the product will wantonly encourage spending money (advertising), or manipulate you towards a paid service. Or maybe the secret motives are innocuous, like the dev's resume or (very rarely) the common good, but you need to understand that before you know what's coming.
also, as an alternative to PCA, try ICA (independant component analysis). This will attempt to find non-gaussian sources in the data and might be worth seeing if it can carve out more interesting portions of the sound.
I was under the impression, based on the original submission, that this was based on running as an independent. About which I'm skeptical.

There's a reason that rich folk who get elected are nominated by a major party.

It's because in a voluntary voting system, a large "Get Out The Vote" machine is necessary, even though it's not sufficient.

You don't get that machine with machine learning. You get it with thousands of organised volunteers managed by experienced party hacks.

Afterwards, having seen where the money goes, I suspect Sam will decide to invest in political consultancies.

>Take that away and there is no good reason for taking the risk

I'm not arguing for businesses, I'm arguing for the destruction of capitalism. I hope that businesses currently around fail.

>This is already allowed in a capitalist society

Any organisation which attempts to do so will fail very quickly, due to the fact that (i) workers must be kept employed, not disposed of when machinery that does a better job becomes available (ii) workers would have to be paid much higher than in those firms that do not operate as co-operatives. These two facts mean that such an organisation cannot compete. A good analysis is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAxajtiRatg

It is not a viable option within capitalism to provide for the labour force in the interests of the labour force. Also, most people cannot be employed in a co-operative, so the problem still exists. As long as the problem exists for even one person, I view that as reason to fix the system.

>The labourers own their labour and the owners own the product

Wrong. Labourers sell their labour-time to the capitalist, and that commodity has the use value of creating labour, which is transferred to the products. The labour is crystallised inside the products which are made, and those are appropriated by the capitalist at the end of production. If the worker owned his labour, the products at the end of production which the capitalist re-possesses in order to sell would have no more value than when they entered the factory as raw materials and machinery. Therefore the capitalist could not make any profit.

>What does this even mean ?

Capitalism requires land and property owners; if those land and property owners cease to exist, capitalism must also cease to exist. As such, the system which creates the force for people to choose between starving and wage labour is perpetuated by the whole class of property owners, i.e the capitalists.

>Without property ( which ultimately boils down to the right to enjoy the fruits of one's labour ) there is no good reason to perform the unenviable job we call "work"

Why is work unenviable? And within a Socialist society, the workers own what they produce by the end of the production process. They can then decide democratically how to distribute the products that they make among themselves, or choose to not distribute them at all. If you are trying to say that humans just sit around all day and do nothing, this is incorrect; in any system, one must work to survive. In a Socialist system, you are rewarded according to your labour, because you own what you make in a joint production process.

There are various motivations for wanting to work, too; the desire for credit, wanting to provide for your family and children, wanting to improve the conditions of the society you live in, the desire to help other people in your community, out of necessity for something you want to see finished, for mastery, as a hobby, etc.

It will be up to an individual to decide why he wishes to work, but in no circumstance will he forced to sell his labour-power for someone to make money from his labour without doing an hour of labour themselves.

Have you heard about SideFx Houdini? It's graphics software with some kind of "visual programming" interface, where you create project with coding and drawing. It's very important that you can open your project on different machines/operation system and it looks same. For example when you use rand() function it backups seed for that function(place where you use it) so after you reset animation you're gone get same random numbers.

Huh? If you could point out the uncivil bits, that would be helpful.
I think the biggest value proposition of this is the ability to do sub-reddit like filtering on specific tags. As Hacker News grows I think dealing with the number of new submissions would become a bottleneck. During high-traffic times, new submissions sometimes drop of the first 'new' page in around 10 minutes. Of course there is more traffic during these times to upvote good content, but I'm not sure that is better than letting a smaller number of people have a longer period of time to filter a smaller collection of content.

Not an argument. Feminism is an ideology and like any other has its good points and bad. You can believe in equality and not have to identify as a feminist.
It should be as simple as:

- Is this a download page?

- Does this ad contain a button-like image with the word "Download" on it?

Presumably the people creating these ads are specifically targeting pages with the word "download" in to create this confusion, it doesn't seem like rocket science for Google to apply the exact same rules.
Maybe it was only caught by honeypots and turned in from there.
ML could be used as a tool to empower the reviewers to to review the most suspect ads first.

In certain sandbox environments traffic is intercepted by replying to all URL lookups with an IP address belonging to the sandbox rather than the real IP address the URL points to, a side effect of this is if an unregistered domain is queried it will respond as it it were registered (which should never happen).

I believe they were trying to query an intentionally unregistered domain which would appear registered in certain sandbox environments, then once they see the domain responding, they know they’re in a sandbox the malware exits to prevent further analysis. This technique isn’t unprecedented and is actually used by the Necurs trojan (they will query 5 totally random domains and if they all return the same IP, it will exit); however, because WannaCrypt used a single hardcoded domain, my registration of it caused all infections globally to believe they were inside a sandbox and exit... thus we initially unintentionally prevented the spread and further ransoming of computers infected with this malware. Of course now that we are aware of this, we will continue to host the domain to prevent any further infections from this sample.

If someone will want to buy your software, they'll be looking to buy it for a multiply of revenues. As long as you're selling the software and can prove that to the buyer, the buyer shouldn't care about secondary aspects like cracking or illegal use.

That being said, if that's your main concern then don't do it. Implement a trial period or ship demo version with limited functionality.

I subscribe to the school of thought that mindstate while In Flow is real and significant, so it is easy for me to believe this anecdote/quote. Mindstate scaled up to multi-year or even multi-decade research efforts likely also exists, and would matter across the entire team and not just individuals. If this is true, then breaking off activity mid-effort and restarting must exact a steep price in re-connecting, no matter how strenuously we try to mothball the effort.

One follow-up question I'd like to see asked: how did the leadership at say, Xerox PARC and Bell Labs decide relatively consistently how to pick and choose which efforts to consistently fund? What markers were they looking for, what process did they use, or what were their thought processes? How did they decide to pull the plug on specific lines of inquiry (surely they didn't always pick all winning hands, so to speak)?
If MRAs were primarily motivated by actual concern for men's lot in life, they'd do more proactive work. Instead they are mostly reactive, coming out of the woodwork when something is mentioned about women. They bitch about how bad men have it in order to deflate the issue de jour, then are not to be seen until the next time someone talks about women.

The OP is utterly right in saying that the ground has been salted by these man-children. Men do face problems, but MRAs do little work and mostly just armchair whine. How many of them create working groups or petition politicians or similar? Compare to feminism, where while it has a share of whiners, is mostly pro-active; organising events, talking to stakeholders, starting discussions instead of derailing them. You see it here on HN, where a topic is about women, and the whiners come out to derail... yet these same MRAs don't post their own articles about men.
The great reformulation of algebraic geometry
When you are married AND have kids, one thing that can happen is that the parent who is most concerned about the welfare of the kids has no choice but to simply buck up and do what is necessary for their sake. Quibbling with another grown adult about "fairness" and "equality" can be a great way to see the kids get shortchanged.

So, once there are children involved, it is not unusual for the wife to just suck it up and do what the kids need at personal cost to her. It often makes little sense to try to hold hubby's feet to the fire and insist on him doing his fair share at home or whatever.

This is not man-bashing. I am a woman and former homemaker. I do a lot of even-handed writing that tries to consider both sides of the picture. But this is a reality in many marriages. I do not self-identify as a "feminist" in part because, to me, "feminism" is about women wanting careers and to hell with any other considerations. This ongoing argument about equality of the sexes seems to mostly leave out the critical detail of the welfare of the children.

Unless and until we start talking about what works for the family as a whole, including kids, and society as a whole, including families with legal minors, this entire argument about men vs. women and so-called equality will continue to be sick and twisted and will tend to continue to crap on any parent that actually cares deeply about the welfare of their kids, regardless of gender.
