The patents have no value if the ultimate owners are unable to enforce them. Once the patent exists, it is a tradable asset like copyright.

And yet it's completely abstract as sets and numbers don't need a universe like ours to exists, they only need axioms.

Modeling the world is a job that math the tool was created for, but it certainly isn't concrete just because the world that needed it was or is.
Note that the above is a UK publication and the laws around apologies are different in other countries. This document I have here (1996, pdf) is a rather good journal article on the subject for US legalities. http://scholarship.law.missouri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...

tl;dr apologies are usually a good thing in your personal life and can prevent litigation in legal matters and are rarely admissible as proof of guilt. I am not a lawyer.
It would be unconstitutional for a U.S. state to treat newly-established residents differently than long-established ones with regard to a welfare benefit: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/supco....

Countries like Germany don't have this problem because they have the power to control their borders. Accessing Germany's healthcare system requires being a German resident. That, in general, requires applying for immigration, which the government may or may not grant. EU citizens can, of course, become German residents without applying for immigration, but every EU state has universal healthcare so there is no incentive to free-ride.

And there's a push within Germany and other countries to limit access to welfare benefits for new residents, even ones from other EU countries: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/12/german-governm.... U.S. states don't have the power to do that.
A counter argument for the sake of discussion: students in the classroom can add value to the recorded lectures by engaging the professor with questions that ask to clarify, extend, etc. If there are no students left, the students rely fully on the profs ability to monologue. Could be a risk. Could dilute the lecture's potential.
I've only given a cursory look into it, and with regards to building a JSON API in Rails (of which the many extant standards and their Rails libraries are still immature), is this just another fad, or an actual API standard that has staying power? It seems like the latter, but given that it's Facebook-backed, as soon as they get tired of it, they could pull a Google on it.
I was talking about people making money off of the health care industry, not wealthy people in general. We aren't asking them to fund the healthcare of everyone else, just not make profit off of waste.

Also, scramble out of the country.... where? There are very few places they can 'run off to' that don't already have a single payer health care system. People don't seem to be 'fleeing' those countries.
Out of curiosity, who put him in that position?
How to choose between Relay & Apollo is one of the most common questions people ask when they get started with GraphQL! In general, it definitely depends on your project and what you're optimizing for.

Relay is very mature and heavily optimized for performance, however, it's not very easy to understand and comes with a notable learning curve.

Apollo on the other hand is a community-driven effort to build a very flexible GraphQL client that still offers a powerful and intuitive API.

I'd actually suggest you try to go through both tutorials on How to GraphQL and see which one feels better for you :)

PS. In case you weren't aware of it - the second GraphQL Radio episode had Lee Byron and Joe Savona (both from Facebook/Relay) as well as Sashko Stubailo and Jonas Helfer (both from Apollo) as guests: www.graphqlradio.com
My high school did the one laptop loan out thing (later got sued for it) and I can tell you it was useless as a learning tool. At least in the way intended. I learned quite a bit mainly about navigating around the blocks and rules they put in place. In high school my friends and I ran our own image board, learned about reverse proxying via meebo repeater, hosted our own domains to dodge filtering, and much much more. As far as what I used them for in class... if I needed to take notes I was there with note book and pen. If I didn't I used the laptop to do homework for other classes while in class. I had a reputation among my teachers for handing in assignments the day they were assigned.

In college I slid into the pattern they saw here. I started spending more time on social media, paying less attention in class, slacking on my assignments. As my burnout increased the actual class times became less a thing I learned from and more just something I was required to sit in. One of my college classes literally just required me to show up. It was a was one of the few electives in the college for a large university. The students were frustrated they had to be there, and the teacher was tired of teaching to students who just didn't care.

Overall I left college burnt out and pissed at the whole experience. I went in wanting to learn it just didn't work out.
Surprised it took them this long to add this kind of feature.
Of course they have. They are a business based in Moscow. I would be surprised if they hadn't. They are just too attractive a target for the Kremlin not to try to co-opt. No idea how any US corporate security team could justify working with them, quite honestly.
Land mines are a much better metaphor for patents than nuclear weapons are. Say what you will about the evils of nuclear warfare, but we haven't seen any world wars lately, and nuclear weapons are to thank for that state of affairs.

Patents (and land mines) are a lot less useful to society.
Modules would be very hard to make work in C++, there's way too much entanglement at all levels. Of course the rot actually started with the ANSI C committee when it introduced typedef and broke context free parsing. C++ just compounds this kind of problem with template lookup stupidity. Its what you get when languages are designed by people with no understanding of basic computer science.
That's a matter of policy.

You can set a cap of how much tax someone pays for healthcare, such that rich people don't get screwed.

The question here is what's more efficient... And the numbers are there. Single payer + Healthcare transparency = Efficiency.

w3schools has a special DNS entry to prevent access, for me and my interns. Now that I say that, I feel like those bigcorps which prevent access to Facebook.
That would all be fine and dandy if it weren't for that pesky 200yr old document that explicitly denies the federal government the right to micromanage except in very specific circumstances.

The new Tasks 2.0.0 powers are very good as well: better support for multiple task runners, discover then annotate over configure then run.
The same could be said for PNG and many other common formats that use zlib.
>There are studies that show that verbatim computer note taking is actually inferior to remembering the lecture content:

I think people should be careful when looking at such things. 'There are studies' is not really the same as 'there is scientific consensus with demonstrated repeatability'. Ultimately though, you can't tell someone they're doing it wrong when they're successful, so YMMV.
I've found that Apollo stack is more user friendly for learning. I didn't try in a production environment, but unless there's a huge difference in performance I'd use Apollo.
As somebody who has been on both sides of the investment table, I can confirm that very few founders understand the complexities of convertible notes (SAFE or otherwise). But I think the authors of both the pro and con argument are covering only one of the points. Yes, first time founders often don't intuitively understand the impact of convertible notes on their cap table. But that's not that hard to model. Much harder to understand are the secondary impacts of convertible notes. I have raised, led and participated in dozens of rounds and, frankly, still get caught out by those.

In general, the problem is that most benefits that investors enjoy are properties of their shares rather than the money that they invested. For an equity round this is one and the same. Not so much for convertible notes. A simple example:

An entrepreneur raised a $1M convertible note with a $5M cap. Ignore discount, interest and other factors for now. She then raises a $5M round at a valuation of $20M. That yields a dilution of 20% for the round plus a "hidden" dilution of ~17% for the note conversion (1/6). That's the blurry issue that both authors discuss. But if anything the share rights are even blurrier. Let's say that the equity round came with what is commonly referred to as a 1x liquidation preference (non-participating). So they would get $5M back before other shareholders get anything. Even though I just worded that as matching the money that they put in, it is generally a property of the share class that the investors hold. For example, their $5M might have bought 5M shares at $1/share that each says "redeemable for $1 or convertible to common shares". Our note investors also hold those shares now. But instead holding one per dollar, they now hold four per dollar (since they pay 1/4 the price for such a share). Suddenly, they have effectively a 4x liquidation preference benefit and the company has to return a full $9M before common shareholders/founders see a penny of payout (despite only having $6M in the bank).

Interest rates, pre-round ESOP increases, and many other factors in convertible notes make this problem worse. And it affects just about all aspects of the cap table including voting rights, protective provisions, redemption rights, etc.. Basically, the bigger the gap between the cap and the eventual round, the bigger the privilege the note investors pick up. Not just in economic benefit where you would expect it, but also in power/insurance/protections/etc. where it isn't obvious at all. Nowhere in your term sheet for the note or equity round will it mention 4x liquidation preference. Doing so would cause instant rejection of the deal by even the most inexperienced founder! But that's exactly would is going to happen once all the conversion mechanics are executed. And that can catch even seasoned entrepreneurs off guard (and seasoned investors, including plenty of note holders who never understood that they would get these benefits).

Convertible notes - SAFE or otherwise - have a role to play in venture financing. But they are complex instruments and should be use carefully. Anything else is just a recipe for pain in the long run.
Those countries have way less population who can't contribute. The US is huge, there's so many more people who need healthcare but don't pay any taxes.
Oh of course. Next time when we implement socialism, nobody at all will be interested in concentrating power and abusing it for personal benefit. How silly of me to think that might happen for the hundred and first time after a hundred times in the past.
The reason hand written notes are more effective is that it helps towards better learning just by writing the thing down and slowing it to a pace where your mind can make memories. Even if afterwards the notes are completely illegible, I would argue it's more effective than typed notes.
If I recall correctly, those methods had dependencies that crossed the module boundaries in unpleasant ways, so that keeping them would mess up the module boundaries.
Sure. Nobody's saying that Google's invented a new strategy here. We've all known Phillip Morris, Monsanto, and the like to do this, but generally such companies have been derided for the behavior. People are generally hesitant to group Google in the same class of corporate actor.
Heads up that your Google fonts (in site.css) trigger a warning about insecure scripts, and in Chrome at least they therefore don't load by default.
I mean including information/labels like "taxiway XYZ" that could make a stupid mistake like this obvious. Or are you saying they already do this?
I did this study! In med school I did a survey of my class. I asked them to estimate how many hours they spent engaged in various study behaviors, and asked as one question, what quintile of the class they thought they stood in. Allowing for the Duning-Kruger effect, taking notes by hand was one of the top three things you could do (out of about 30), taking no notes had no effect, and taking notes with a laptop was the single worst idea you could have. N = 84 of 150.

> How do countries with single payer handle this?

In Canada, generally you have to be a legal resident (i.e. hold a valid immigration status, not just limited to permanent resident or citizen) of the relevant province, and actually living there for a majority of the time, before being eligible for coverage under the province's health plan.

See e.g. http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ohip/ohipfaq_...

California would probably have to add a waiting period since not all US residents would otherwise have coverage, as in Canada.
Not quite for two reasons:
Displacement is integrated over all slices under the liquid (just take the derivative to reverse).
And more importantly, CT reconstruction (can't speak for MRI) is often done slice by slice which cannot be done for this system because you are an area integral rather than a line integral; this means that to get a full reconstruction you have to rotate the object in more than one axis.

There are certainly similarities though.
There is a practical, functional GraphQL spec that has multiple client and server implementations. Regardless of whether Facebook continues to develop clients or maintains stewardship of the spec, GraphQL has a lengthy future ahead.
It's not clear to me why such a hard distinction is drawn between software and hardware patents.

The usual argument for this separation is that "software patents are just math", but then aren't hardware patents are just physics (which, ultimately, is also just math)?

It feels like there's no clear line here, and whatever benefits, if any, are to be derived from patents, they apply equally to either side of it. Basically, either it's a net benefit to society, and then both kinds are valid; or it's a net drain on society, and then we should just get rid of them altogether. Or maybe set the bar for what is patentable much higher wrt to novelty and value (but, again whether it's hardware or software feels irrelevant).
That would be true if the purpose of the meetings --- really, for any President, but maybe most especially with this one --- was to advise. But it's not: it's to endorse. The way you know that is, the meetings pointlessly include several competing big names simultaneously, and are organized around a photo op.
Your conversion between Edwards and Montgomery is not quite correct. I suspect that is why you're getting different results (though I didn't really go over the whole thing). RFC 7748 does include the correct conversion routines in page 4: ((1+y)/(1-y), sqrt(-486664) * ((1+y)/(1-y))/x) to go from ed25519 to x25519, and (sqrt(-486664) * u/v, (u-1)/(u+1)) to go back. So with some luck, you're only missing 2 multiplications by a constant.
States or the feds could offer re-insurance for your primary insurance provider. That removes the incentive to not pay out, since astronomical risk moves into a larger pool (either the entire state or the entire US).
It depends what store you are connected to, I think. Haven't had the experience on the Mac, but on the iPhone, it let me download things freely on the US store but required I provide a credit card before it let me download free stuff from another store.
I don't know if that's true that it's an abuse of their position. Here's the paragraph from their policies:

> Sites showing Google ads should be easy for users to navigate. Sites may not change user preferences, redirect users to unwanted websites, initiate downloads, include malware or contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation.

That all seems reasonable to me. They don't want to be associated with garbage websites.
Agreed, Google is unlikely to stop trying to track it's users; it's too profitable.

On the other hand, privacy is more about choosing what you share than not sharing things, and imo Google does an okay job at letting users control what they share; better than most companies operating at that scale. And while their privacy controls are not very fine grained, there seems to be an emphasis on making sure even non-technical users understand what is being shared and why.
Nothing about that on Wikipedia. Have you a source please?
No the point of free market is that insurance is cheap enough that even healthy people buy it. Or even better, that healthcare costs are low enough that you don't even need insurance (that won't happen though because of the healthcare monopolies).

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7192274:

"LogManager has a highly undesirable dependency on java.beans classes that is problematic for modules. It is likely that we will need to remove these methods in Java SE 9 (assuming approvals, etc.). In preparation for this it will be necessary to deprecate these methods in Java SE 8 (again, pending approvals) so that developers/users of these methods know they are going away."

Honestly, don't call me or any of the people I know that would come "poor" one more time. Including me, we have good savings, earn 6 figures, have good education (not necessarily University, which does not matter that much here in Germany). We are all quite entrepreneurial spirited, yet do not fall in the category "ultrarich". We probably would earn and contribute quite well to the US society. Yet we do not fit in any visa category. So also because of the unwelcoming visa policy and complicated process, my wife and I will now stay here in Germany, currently are in the process of buying a house and just signed the contract for our first employee (onshore, besides 2 offshore). We used to be big USA fanboys, but it is just very difficult to get there. Also my wife is Iranian, which does not ease things.
Somebody pays, or you die in the gutter.

Lotta people talk about charity as a replacement for government services, but folks give around 3% of their income to charity (tax deductible) in the US. That ain't gonna get it done. Not even close.

People would have you believe they would give more if they didn't pay as much in taxes, but there is not one shred of evidence that is the case based on variations in local tax rates. And that's a hell of a gap to bridge based on a such a dubious promise.

Occam's razor, and the available evidence, suggests that people would just pocket the difference and the poor can go to hell. They're happy to argue the point until they're blue in the face, but if the past year has taught us nothing at all, it's that people are more than capable of crafting any number of passionate arguments around their self-interest, truth be damned.
That would still be unethical. An ethical person would not commit acts which they know have the potential to cause harm to innocent people.

If you're a black hat and you don't give a shit about potential legal ramifications or any injury to anyone (partly because you fear no consequence), there's probably nothing unethical to you about fucking over a bunch of innocent people just so you can "spank" some douchebag management company into following best practices.

If you're a professional, or even a non-douchebag adult, who finds value in the ideal of protecting the innocent customers of a dangerously irresponsible corporation, you would want to work first toward protecting those individuals, and then focus on disciplining the corporation.
honestly for me its seems like a pretty good idea, I don't live in the US, so I really don't know why they are not making money other than not enough customers.
For the context of this comment, this is if these "smart people" couldn't come to the U.S. instead. ("The argument being that as we skim the top people from the talent pool of other countries we reduce their capability to push innovation and ideas within their own infrastructure.")

Basically, if these "smart people" couldn't come to the U.S., there would be no option. They wouldn't have any where else to go, and would have to help their homeland in order to help them and theirs. No other option if they couldn't come to the U.S. instead (if the theory is correct).
You are (like us) most likely too small. Unless you are buying 1,000 machines at a time you don't get there :(
Waiting one more quarter for AMD servers to arrive from the major vendors is a good idea. But if your spend is in the millions then you can probably get the contracts (if needed for budget rules) and test systems now, especially if you ask the cluster builders.
This sort of "analysis" is absurd on its face. There is nowhere on Earth that you would want to live that doesn't have a government that takes property by force and gives to others.

Taxation is necessary to live in a stable society. The question is, how much to take and how to spend it.

We've seen how our current path works out. The rich accumulate more and more wealth and with it more political power until such time that the masses are sufficiently poor and disenfranchised that they engage in a bloody revolt.
It's not systemd that's the problem, it's libsystemd0. Try removing it on Stretch. It's doable [0] but it's a pain and makes future maintenance fragile and error prone. And if I understand correctly once you do so you're not running Gnome on that system anymore...

Interestingly enough, Shawn Henry was the head of the FBI Cyber division and, after leaving, became President of Services at CrowdStrike which was involved in investigating the DNC hack by the Russians.
This is what I don't understand. The feds are paying a bunch of money via Medicare/Medicaid/VA but clearly aren't covering everyone. What is the mechanism whereby more people are covered but no additional funds are required? Yes, there's some profit in private insurance companies, but it's not _that_ much.
