Well, the Pentium M was just a refreshed PIII and was born out of necessity as the P4 was so disastrous on mobile platforms.

AMD was way ahead of Intel at the time regarding IPC, the Pentium M was just Intel catching up to AMD, and had about the same IPC as A64 that was released the same year. But unlike Pentium M the A64 was a real performant CPU.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Pentium M and I when looking at laptops there was no reason to bother looking at anything else at that time. But it was a parenthesis few even knew existed. It was more of a successful prototype proving that the (future) Core series had a good foundation.

AMD didn't have as good fabrication, which is partly why they couldn't compete with Pentium M on power. But that's not what we are talking about either, because of the higher IPC the A64 smoked everything Intel had for years coming. Despite Intel having better fabrication.

The "New River Gorge Bridge was for many years the world's longest single-span arch bridge; it is now the third longest" is similarly in the middle of nowhere in West Virginia and was even more so when it was completed in 1977.

I would say that DRM is merely an inevitable outgrowth of our society's enshrinement and worship of the idea of "intellectual property". That word, "property", gives the opposite connotations of "copyright"--permanent rightful ownership vs a temporary grant of monopoly on an idea.

But yes, it's definitely the case that the cultural idea that humans and corporations have the right to own a copyright for a length of time greater than the duration of any human life means that for 99.99% of all works, the effective duration of copyright truly is forever, which reinforces the idea that copyright should be forever. And if it's forever and it's "property" why shouldn't strong, user-hostile DRM exist? It's the barbed-wire, severe-tire-damage, border-wall of electronic media.

I had a web app a few years ago that I was using webpack to build the JS with, and the output filename was just a SHA hash of the contents.

After an update, I started getting reports that it wasn't working for some people. Turns out they had adblockers that were blocking *ad.js and it just so happened that the SHA hash of the file ended in ad.js
I bet it's a different story if you calculated opportunity cost and risk. Are you paying cash for the car in all cases? Or are you getting a loan? Increased positive cash flow has a real economic value. A loan has real economic risk. Are you investing the cost difference between option 3 and option 1 to get a return on that money?

You're forgetting that VCRs and other analog tape-based media had generational losses; every copy made degraded the quality noticeably and put wear on the tape which, from the studios' perspective, kept copying under control. That isn't so for digital recordings.

Beyond that, one can't be against DRM and for GPL enforcement at the same time and remain logically consistent. Both hinge on the owners being able to enforce certain rights granted by law on intellectual property. (Note that I'm not defending DRM here, just pointing out the facts.)

Stuff that breaks on cars this old regardless of brand (speaking as a Honda owner):

- timing chain should be replaced at 100K. Should do the water pump at the same time. $800-$1000.

- starter motor (typically the brushes wear out). $300.

- engine mounts.

- CV joints.

- suspension bushings, possibly shock absorbers, wheel bearings too.

- pneumatic door lifts.

Then you just start to run into random problems: dashboard lights go out and are too expensive to replace, electric windows or door locks start to fail, steering develops a strange wobble that comes and goes and 3 different mechanics can't figure out. Etc.

I just sold my 2003 Odyssey (that I had bought new and maintained it well) with 230K on it. I'm glad to not be dealing with it anymore.

I still own a 98 Cherokee XJ which is built like a tank but still has its weaknesses. An electric door lock is failing but a replacement part is no longer made, so I have to find a used replacement or adapt a part from a newer vehicle. That sort of stuff.

If you're willing to deal with it great, but there's definitely a large tradeoff there.

There's also safety issues. My new cars have collision detection, lane keep assist, air bags all the way around, etc. I'm happier having my family in vehicles with these options.
Yeah they did, but under different circumstances. Arguably South Africa never had any intention of keeping their weapons and intended them as a bargaining chip. South Africa never really had a significant arsenal either.

This talk was about total global disarmament, which is a different scenario. Moreover, he was interested in disarmament schemes that maintained the balance of power that deters the actual use of weapons, ideally right up to the moment that there are none.

>I still agree with you, though; times change, and nobody "deserves" business-model protection.

Is that true though?

Because laws against theft (physical theft of actual products I mean, let's not get into whether "copying" is theft here) are a business-model protection too.

As are most business laws (e.g. contract law).

Why pay at a restaurant when you can just walk out and run for it? Isn't making it illegal a "business model protection"?

So what makes some business models (selling physical stuff) more protectable?
In making a card game site (http://www.goodloesolitaire.com/), I got bit by ad.png; the "ad" was referring to ace of diamonds.

No there isn't and this is history rewriting, even if you genuinely believe this could be this is not what happened at all.

First it's pretty clear, seeing how Intel played their game with the x86 licence, they would never have voluntarily made themselves depend on AMD licensing them x86_64 for the next decades like they are now.

Second, back then Intel was very seriously asking / pressuring microsoft into not supporting amd64 extension and wait for intel64 to be released instead. But intel64 was late and delayed, pentium 4 kept hitting brick walls while Athlon started reigning supreme, opteron was starting to be noticed on the server side, and IA-64 was not getting outside of niche territory. Meanwhile linux started making some real pressure on the server andbusiness demands meant microsoft needed to show a windows that supported 64 bits on commodity hardware, asap. Amd64 was ready and the chip using it were cheap and powerfull, so microsoft made their choice.

> "All intellectual property should be free! Except the IP I create which I should be paid for!"

That's a strawman. People should be paid for their work, but that doesn't give them the right to impose extralegal restrictions on how I use their work through technology.

If you think that DRM is about piracy, you're living in a fantasy world. Almost all DRMd content - movies, books, music, news - is readily available through illegal or alternative channels with the DRM stripped out. What IS true is that DRM enables several consumer-hostile revenue models for content producers. For example, unskippable ads at the beginning of Blu-Ray releases.
Have they fixed the performance issues in Atom yet? Last time I checked it couldn't load a 800MB file without locking up.
They also have a problem of delivering more than was traditionally available, normalizing greater intrusiveness. Ad tech allows a staggering amount of control and analysis that never existed with traditional media advertising. DRM lets you not only prevent user copying like old-school "copy protection", it lets you enforce any arbitrary scheme of "rights" that you can code into the DRM system (e.g. you could make viewing video on high-end displays exclusive to a "premium" option). Advertisers and publishers are now accustomed to these and will fight any attempt to take them away.

It cuts the other way, too - with a sufficiently pervasive propaganda apparatus, it's easy to frame dissent as unpatriotic, as sedition backed by foreign governments or even as terrorism.

>True, but they still kept earning billions through peak global torrents distribution

Isn't that kind of irrelevant though?

Whether a business still makes money is not an argument as to whether torrenting their stuff would be OK.

A physical business (e.g. clothes store) might make millions even though people steal stuff, but we wouldn't consider that as making stealing OK.

(And I don't care for the "copying is not stealing" argument. It might or it might not be, but I'm making an analogy here, and the core of it is: whether a business is still coming out on top, making money, etc, doesn't mean another practice against them is OK).

Leasing is generally the most expensive option. You're basically getting a loan for the depreciation + profit. Since it's not technically a loan you don't get the interest rate disclosed to you. And market research shows the interest rate you are paying is 14%.
I don't know the Storj project or this situation well, but the timeline of events I've gathered from reading those reddit comments is:

- You acquired some "pre-mine" tokens (apparently with no vesting)

- You pre-sold those tokens before the fundraiser

- You quit the company shortly after

- You then proceeded to slander the company on Reddit (something something "radical transparency")

- You then forked the company's project and started calling it your own. But it's not "competing" because you're using a 501c3 tied to an unrelated hackerspace in Georgia as an umbrella for its fundraising (possibly risking its tax-exempt status).

I think this is a fair question to ask given the circumstances: Is your goal here to create a great open source project, or to damage Storj?
Library for efficiently storing and querying categorical sparse data on Clojure
Oops, somehow I overlooked that!
They do.

I've recently encountered a video ad startup that runs a proxy wrapping VAST responses into a VMAP. So, a website would request an ad not from DFP, but from an inconspicuous CloudFront URL. These CF distributions are deployed for each publisher and you'd have to block them one by one, not being able to block the whole ad platform.

They said that some adblockers can discover ad servers by parsing responses. If a response, say, is a VAST tag, they tag and blacklist a server.

Adblockers are starting to employ heuristics to analyse what a server does, rather than relying on just URL pattern matching. Just like Virus VS. Antivirus arms race.

Fascinating!

One can absolutely do that. Technical restraints and legal remedies are not the same thing, and it's completely consistent to say that DRM should be unavailable to both proprietary and free works while legal remedies should be available to both.

To me it appears the same group of kids is doing it, but now with college degrees. I have a friend who was a GC at 25, the main obstacle to his success was access to capital, which he achieved through a friend's father who was already in the business and looking for investment opportunities.

He spent a bunch of years working on his skills and doing his own work, but now just subcontracts all the labor (mostly to immigrants), deals with legal/zoning issues, and keeps the client happy.

I suspect the old system (start at the bottom, amass skills & capital until you're on top) won't work anymore, because the capital arrangement strongly favors people with a money connection over skills. But time will tell.
This applies to more than just photography.

> I would say that DRM is merely an inevitable outgrowth of our society's enshrinement and worship of the idea of "intellectual property".

If intellectual property rights cease to exist, then there's no longer any legal basis to enforce the GPL and similar licenses and the Free Software ecosystem would collapse. Are you sure you want that?

EDIT: Replaced "open source" with "Free Software". My thanks to other posters for the correction. Yes, BSD-style open source would still survive.

Cool idea, but please allow narrower (street-specific) areas. Often the tourist street is right next to a nice authentic street in the same area.

The fact that you have shipped a game, should make it relatively easy to find a job, as shipping a game end to end is really praise worthy. However, note that I am not sure if the jobs you have applied to value this. And definitely as others have pointed out, your representation package (resume, cover letter, comm skills) need an upgrade.

Here are some very specific action points for your project though:

1. Please move all your TO-DOs etc to Issues page, your README must talk about your game, any relevant documentation, installation steps, contribution process etc.

2. Comment your code exhaustively.

3. Add design documentation, which describes in detail your game design, host it on readthedocs and link it to your README. That is one way to clearly highlight both your communication and design skills.

4. I am not sure if you have shipped to iOS store, if not ship it. If you have already done so, apologies for my oversight.

5. Have a separate github.io website just as your game's home page, with download buttons for the app store. Have a reverse link to your GH repo as well on that page.

Now take the above and add a cover letter which describes your motivation to make the game, the fact that you shipped it and what you can contribute to as a developer through this experience; but don't be verbose. Be specific in terms of contributions you can make, that will need you to study the company and the job you are applying to and it will reflect in the cover letter.

I would strongly recommend you apply to game studios where your skills will be relevant. I am not sure if those TO-DO list and other bakery maker nonsense app makers are anyways going to value your skill, the ROI is too low to even bother.

Please check the past 6 month HN Who's hiring threads, for job postings from game studios or something relevant. Ex: Many times there are positions like asset pipeline developers where someone who has shipped a game end to end is a great fit.

I think you need to course correct, else you will keep seeing the same results. Wish you the best.

I'm not too terribly fussed over it, especially considering what it must cost to support Homebrew - if analytics data helps the maintainers make more effective choices around how to allocate limited resources, that seems to me like a good goal, and I'm not sure how providing information on packages I've installed via Homebrew, to be included in anonymized reports on packages ~everyone has installed in Homebrew, poses any meaningful risk to me.

That said, if you feel otherwise, see https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Analytics.... on how to make Homebrew not send analytics data any more.
