With DRM+streaming as default the world will be relying on rights holders and streaming services to preserve an archive of cultural works. A situation that invariably will result in loss of a lot of those works once they stop caring or go out of business.

Consider f.ex. the situation with the missing Dr. Who episodes. BBC is still hopping it can recover copies from the public. Had they'd been aired with DRM at the time they would be lost without hope, now at least there is hope.

This is a habit borrowed from math. It often makes a lot of sense, however. Giving a variable a long name often unnecessarily ascribes intent to the variable. When a variable is generic enough to represent almost anything, giving it a specific name is potentially misleading.

Some really good photos. War is tragic, but it sure allows for people to capture amazing photography. What does this say about us?
Good shots Kainoa, I really wish I could read the story that goes with them.

I can see it being hard as a news photographer of any sort these days, as papers are going through a very hard transition that may see them completely vanish at the other side of it.

Have you considered finding some writers on Medium? Their new concept is to be the platform without the paper, readers select writers more organically and writers get paid more directly, photographers don't fit directly into this model yet but you could at least sell to writers there. Maybe medium will come up with a way to have multiple contributors to articles that photographers could be a part of too.

To clarify with the Medium thing, I guess what I mean is when you sell to papers you don't consider it your job to find the writers that your photos go with, but maybe now that is part of the job.

Yes, I should have kept the snark in check. I come from a family that drank the alternative medicine Kool-Aid, so am quite dismissive of it. My point was that alternative medicine usually sells itself as soothing / non-threatening, and sometime also (as in your case) as 'transformative', which in my opinion is no better: your attempt might very well have ended up badly and left you worse off, with an additional trauma. Opting for feel-good or miraculous solutions is often a red flag that one is caught in a pattern of avoidance. If you want to solve a personal problem, you have to sit down and do a thorough assessment, and accept any strong evidence that comes out of it, whether you like it or not.
That's really cool. I use something similar (http://memegen.link) in my noddy project "Zen D Trump", which takes his tweets and pastes them on pictures of relaxing things like beaches and waterfalls.

I also prefer the database metaphor. Bitcoin is a set of rules that lets everyone take part in (in fact this is required) the creation of a database of transactions that has happened. To make sure there are no mistakes, every single node runs the transactions to verify their validity.
You're a Trump supporter, and defend decisions such as his travel ban, and call people proposing a higher minimum wage "unhinged".

Your definition of order is not the standard one!

Usually one would have:

zerothOrderFunction :: a
firstOrderFunction :: a -> b
firstOrderFunction' :: a -> (b -> c)
SecondOrderFunction :: (a -> b) -> c

After all, the functions firstOrderFunction and firstOrderFunction' are the same up to currying.

The standard definition of order is given here (at the end of the section):

After being partially dissatisfied with various existing solutions, I have written my own backup software: file4life (http://www.file4life.org). I've been using it for the last 3 years and am currently working on a new release.

Its main advantages with respect to other approaches, at least for my use cases, are:

- metadata is stored in a single append-only file: no extra software (DB etc.) is needed;

- partial backups can be performed to separate storages. In fact, source and backup directories are not conceptually different, so a duplicate of a directory counts as a backup.

"f(x) + g(x)"

This example is way too trivial to explain why type systems are generally undecidable. Let's imagine:

def f/g(x):
if isinstance(x, str):
return 6
elif isinstance(x, int):
return 'a'

It is decidable for any type of x that is previously known. More importantly, type systems were essentially created to be able to prove whether a given expression is decidable or not.

x = 1
print_int(x)
x="a"
print_string(x)

This is solved by A-normal form (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-normal_form). Or by a more general concept that is available outside functional languages, SSA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form).

You can make a point that this code is hard to modify in dynamic languages, but it is an issue with the code style rather than type systems. For example - IntelliJ IDEA would highlight such Pythonic code as incorrectly typed, since you have changed the type and therefore the variable itself.

I find the general argument against complexities in the type systems such as Haskell to be quite amusing, to be fair. Most of the time you are not dealing with code that is undecidable - and that's why type systems are interesting.

Maybe. The current heuristic is "he has bought X so show him an ad for X", but would it be so difficult to flip that to "he has bought X so show him the next thing on the list of interests we know he has" or even just "anything but X". I strongly suspect noone is doing this because there is no point, they get paid the same regardless.
I can’t remember if it was actually shown or just argued for, but the simplification of the URL in the address bar actually helps identify phishing sites, as there is a lot less text to process through, and that one character that might have been changes becomes more visible than before :)
It's basically a shibboleth that signifies quality in certain circles, like college humanities, but actually is the opposite.

People in those circles can't say what they mean due to stifling ideological policing and status seeking games (and don't have many interesting thoughts as a consequence), so they all just sit around disguising aborted thoughts as impenetrable wisdom.

> You could use Ethereum to create all kinds of interesting contracts for financial purposes, voting systems, insurance, or whatever else

Perhaps you could but currently no one does. There's still not a single real world legal application that needs cryptocurrency. Much as with the pro-life debate (to name a bad phrase) or with global warming now renamed climate change (to name a good phrase) the name of the thing frames the discussion. Calling it a "currency" makes people think it's not a Ponzi or a scam when it's decidedly one of them.

Hey, thanks for your work, but I have one big issue:

You use the term "propaganda" like it's something that can be determined objectively and algorithmically the way that spam can. That's very concerning to me, seeing as mega corps like Facebook and Google are also starting to implement questionable protections against what they consider to be propaganda. And similarly, they also group them together with other issues like terrorism, hate speech, etc. That's exactly why decentralized and uncensored forms of communication are so important right now.

How are you planning to determine what is propaganda? By your own perception? Will you refer to a team of "independent experts" as the arbiters of truth?

f(x) + g(x)

For any type of x is enumerable. What that means is that for this specific expression, you can enumerate all of the types that x may take, and then enumerate all of the types that a function would return, given the types (if you can). You can then decide whether this expression is true or not.

Now it depends on the implementation of f and g. And type systems, in most of the practical cases - would be able to deal with this.

x = 1
print_int(x)
x="a"
print_string(x)

The second example is always decidable, if we agree that semantics of '=' are generally a question of equivalence.
Fair point. It's still disconcerting because slippery slope and all that.

> These types of robots prove this will not be the result and what will be the result is massive unemployment

Massive unemployment for certain jobs is unavoidable at this point. Serves no purpose to condemn workers for several decades to survive with really low salaries. If there are greater efficiencies due to automation, everyone should be participating on the value created (insert basic income theories here or other similar policies)

As for the minimum wage... what can I say. Going to 15$ doesn't seem to be the end of the world. Adjusting for inflation, current minimum wage is really on lowest value for the decade and about median for the last 60 years. Considering how much economy has expanded in 60 years, seems like a very raw deal for workers in certain sectors.
They're decent pictures, but not "GREAT" pictures. Even in warzones photojournalism is a highly competitive field. Editors at Reuters, AP and other news agencies get tons of sets offered every day.

Other software with dongle-based protection has been pirated in the past. There will almost certainly be ways of circumventing this protection if software crackers want to do it.
The ideology that everything has to be completely cryptoeconomic and trustless is hugely overblown. It's good that Ethereum eliminates the central trusted third party for the base layer, but then you are free to be flexible with how you define trust in your applications. Obviously you can't "cryptographically verify" a complex topic like health; you need to delegate decisions to intelligent actors.

I disagree with people saying these are good shots. In the collection another user posted ( http://www.kainoalittle.com/mosul ) there are better shots technically and artistically. Yet that the photographer chose these shots for the article speak tons. These aren't photographs to make you feel better, these are photographs to make you understand (even a tiny bit) what real war looks like and it is ugly.

Is Microsoft Edge Putting Pressure on Google Chrome?
With every Chrome update the browser demands more resources, all the while Microsoft is getting back into the browser race with Edge. Edge is way more efficient, supports all major HTML5 features and has about the same performance. Lately more issues arise in Chrome (and Chromium). They both target the same audience, and Edge is slowly gaining more popularity. Is Microsoft putting pressure on Google?

Ethereum is an awesome idea, but before any practical Ether application booms, it's more like a bubble.

If you're interested in why there's also a token named "Ethereum Classic(ETC)", you can search "DAO" on Google to explore more about why the first largest Ethereum application DAO was failed and why this leads to the hard fork(ETH => ETC, ETH) of Ethereum.

As far as decentralized storage is concerned, there's production-already a blockchain-based product named Sia (http://sia.tech/ ), but Swarm (which is a similar thing based on Ethereum) is still in very early stage.
During the past decade, the Federal Reserve has created 4 trillion dollars out of thin air in an attempt to prop up the economy. The Fed seems hesitant to unwind that as it carries the risk of harming the economy. Fiat money can always be created out of thin air, and it seems to be proving difficult for those in power to resist that temptation.

I'd guess that there is fatigue or disinterest in the West at continuing to hear/see this sort of story. It doesn't sell so editors run with whatever local non-drama captivates people.

At least it looks like this ploy by the photographer has worked - search his name and loads of online media have published something similar to this link. The idea that people don't care and the media won't pay has made it a story. Good on him for outside the box thinking.

> The study has no control group and therefore is not objective. If you read the Methodological Issues section, you'll see that this is essentially a study of the neurochemical effects of antipsychotic drugs.

The article isn't a study/original research, it's a review based off of existing research - generally - in which brains from individuals with schizophrenia are compared to the brains of individuals without schizophrenia (controls). Antipsychotic drugs as a confounding factor is definitely an important factor in these studies though. There are however a number of factors that are are not affected by antipsychotics, notably genetics[1, 2]. Certain genetic variants strongly increase the risk of mental illnesses - by what mechanism does this work other than by translating to proteins that exert an objective, physical effect? (Note that studies on this are primarily GWAS based on large populations, not simple hereditary/familial studies in which one could argue that environmental factors were confounding)
