So you'll wait until the FSF finds it cannot defend the GPL in court and then try to get copyright assignments from thousands of programmers? That's downright stupid.

If there was evidence that some third party could enforce GPL compliance on behalf of the copyright holder(s) then maybe the FSF should consider relaxing the requirements.

Do you recall that Sony failed to comply with the GPL when they used LAME? The LAME community wasn't prepared to actually do anything about it. That's the kind of shit that would happen, especially to smaller projects. There are big companies out there that want to use your hard work without compensation and shit all over the GPL. Never forget that.
I've seen this cited so many times I had to dig into the root paper [1] The entirety is going to require some reading after work, is quite lengthy, but from a brief skimming I'm far from convinced that they're not inverting causation, and even if they aren't, they phrase their conclusion FAR more gently than TFA, leading to an interpretation that I find far more in congruence with reality: That there has been a confluence of games being better with real life propositions being worse for the demographic brackets in question. Even preparing for college and work 20~ years ago was an abysmal experience for me, and with the world as it is now, I don't know how I'd have found the motivation if I needed to do it again. And then you're posed with the alternative of a beautiful escapism, a world in which you have power, autonomy, a job you enjoy, and can work towards a better life? At the risk of waxing philosophical, if you want to make people play less video games, don't blame the video games; that's paramount to the mistakes we made back in prohibition. Focus on making the world for these people a better place so they don't need a respite from it.

More like false equivalence. What makes the cryptocurrency carbon footprint particularly wasteful is that, if we're being honest, its primary use is currency speculation.
I'd say the opposite: claiming to be #1 even if you were set up yesterday (and - something of a tangent - striving to be #1 more than striving to be profitable) is the defining paradigm of the internet marketing era.

In the pre-internet marketing era you actually had a well established #1 job board for each vertical at the back of a printed trade publication full of expensively-created content to try to build customer connections to classified advertising. In the internet marketing era, people that want jobs Google $industry jobs and find a whole bunch of established or brand new identikit job boards often syndicating the same job ads paid for by the same central supplier, each claiming to be #1 (or "the best" or "biggest choice" or similar) because their metrics suggest making such boasts increases search clickthroughs and return visits.

Distributed systems are first-class citizens of Concourse. It's a larger concept-space than Travis/Jenkins'.
yeah I think that article's a little old and doesn't reflect the actuality of what was placed in .

From the lords debate on the topic https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2017-02-02/debates/D2C24...

"However, I want to mention briefly user-generated material on social media, an issue that naturally arises in debating this Bill if we are told that it will not cover it, despite a vast amount of hardcore porn that can easily be viewed by anyone, including young children, being just a couple of clicks away. "

They mention tumblr/facebook being included but only when showing "commcercial" material, which appears to be the differentiating factor so sites like reddit wouldn't be generally in-scope.
Disclosure, I am from imgix.
If you start to exceed $500/month we can offer discounts and certainly when you are looking at millions of images then a flat rate at a lower level makes a lot more sense. 30 million unique images certainly should not be $90,000, that would be outrageous.
It seems likely that more advanced currencies will continue to be developed. Why would ETH continue to hold value when a more advanced currency comes around, just as ETH has eaten into BTC mcap? It may not be an intentional Ponzi scheme, but it seems like a bubble economy.
Wow. That makes it easier to understand, but certainly not easy.
I paid £0 to transfer £10000 the other day. I had to split it into two transfers of £5000 but otherwise it was free to transfer between two completely separate financial institutions.

Anyone have a link to the paper by I think, the IMF or World Bank describing how a cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin) could be created? From the ~70s.
At first I was also fearful of people using this tech to make fake "evidence" of things...

But now that I think about it, the most damage will come from making people even more incredulous... of everything.

It will become even harder to use evidence to prove a point. Uninformed people will just say "yeah sure, it's probably faked".

On the other hand... who could blame them?
People forget Microsoft has been building mobile operating systems for about twenty years. [1] [2] It was not caught out by the technology of the iPhone so much as it was caught out by Apple's ability to dictate changes to the wireless carriers on its own terms -- for me, the real revolution of the iPhone is that it made mobile data cheap and widespread.

I believe Microsoft is playing the long game in regard to mobile and that that long game is based on the assumption that a mobile phone is just another Turing/Von Neumann device, not something magical or a content delivery appliance. This is why Microsoft has spent the past decade or so converging its operating systems and more importantly development tools to be cross platform. For Microsoft, a mobile device is just another computer. Unlike Google and Apple, it has a strategy that does not depend on lipsticking a pig (at least in so far as both Google and Apple are tasked with trying to convince people that a mobile phone operating system makes a good laptop/desktop operating system (whether or not Windows is a pig is another matter))...and Microsoft is putting out a 'mobile phone on a laptop' OS for anyone who thinks its a good idea.

One of the fundamental differences with Microsoft's approach is that unlike Google and Apple, Microsoft is primarily a B2B company and its consumer sales are a byproduct. From a business standpoint, the Windows stack reaches from embedded devices to data centers. Mobile is just a small piece of that stack and it is primarily consumer facing. Microsoft's mobile strategy is in part to provide tools so that its customers can develop mobile apps across platforms. The hardware and consumer device products are valuable from a research perspective. 10 million Windows phones in the wild every year provides a lot of useful field data directly to Microsoft.

Twenty years ago, Apple was playing catch up with Microsoft in terms of mobile computing. Ten years ago Google was playing catch up with Nokia. And so was Apple. And if someone had posed a similar question, the conventional wisdom would have been everyone needed to catch up with RIM. Microsoft like Apple is trying to skate to where the puck is going...except it is more focused on the B2B side.

You messed up something.
My 1700 and Asus B350 Prime were able to POST without issues and without any BIOS updates, and I got both a couple of weeks after release.
Most BIOS updates have only been required for overclocking improvements.
Post this elsewhere on the thread, but you might try this approach: answer the calls and immediately mute the line. Robocallers will hang up because you haven't triggered their systems and seem to call back less. Real people speak up.
Management feels blackmailed? Hmmmm, I wonder how employees feel when management knows they can get away with paying them less...Especially when 5 & 6 sound like problems for management to fix.
I can highly recommend anything written by James. His previous "Learn Raw React" post ( http://jamesknelson.com/learn-raw-react-no-jsx-flux-es6-webp... ) is one of my most frequently recommended articles for people who want to understand the basics of React without any buzzwords, and his new site builds on that approach with a bunch of interactive examples.

For anyone looking for more info past that, you may be interested in my React/Redux links list at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links .
I was wondering about that. I had two thoughts, neither of which I'm confident is very significant:

- Finding and downloading the file is more work than just monitoring a set of bitcoin wallets. If the file gets leaked multiple times, and some of them end up in more obscure places, it might be much harder to find them.

- The regular watermark can perhaps be defeated by tech-savvy pirates, but the bitcoin watermark would need the leaker to be tech-savvy. I think leakers are selected by the content owner, and not in general for their tech-savviness, so this might be pretty safe.

Not unemployable but less likely to be employed.

Long term employment is very important to increasing productivity as a software engineer. The first 6 months is just learning existing systems, so from 6 months to 12 months doubling productivity is normal.

As you work longer you build more infrastructure that supports future productivity gains so from 12 months to 24 months you should be able to double your productivity again.

After 24 months your productivity is so much higher than newer employees that you can continually invest time in developing tools and infrastructure to enhance your productivity so your productivity continues to grow.

When there is a recession there will be unemployment for software engineers so a certain percentage will not be able to find work.

These job hoppers are the lowest skilled since they have never learned how to develop their productivity over the long term and they will be demanding the highest salaries based on their past experience so they are the least likely to be employed.

According to the article "tens of thousands" of advance copies are sent out. So if you want the reward per leak to be $10, the cost would be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe that's worth it to a studio, but it definitely is a significant junk of money.
Well written post, especially the first paragraph.

Thanks for using the term "nouveau riche". Don't know why, I haven't heard it since college, but made me laugh.
Like with other, more easily forgeable conteby, such as text quotation, we will find ways to provide a chain of trust in order to authenticate what has classically appeared much more difficult to spoof, such as voice or video. The only challenge that will remain is explaining to people that the nonsense they watch on Facebook is not factual just because it is on Facebook.

No. Just ask anyone who had gone through monetary reforms, or savings account taxation, or limits on withdrawals, or stuff like that. And you may have some faith in the government, but it can still fuck you up. Many of these interventions had come out of the blue for most people throughout history.

Having hard limits on what governments can do is obviously beneficial especially for less informed people.
> the cost of slow transactions is not eaten by payment processor.

If the customer does not like long lines and slow transactions in a store - they will leave, and the processor will see less revenue from fewer transactions because of that

This only works if the employees can get competing offers which are 20% raises though. Surely if your employees are worth 20% more on the open market then they shouldn't stay anyway?

The really important things for me are, Concourse has no text boxes to edit in your browser, so it is possible to version and automate the configuration of your automation, and all Concourse resources (plugin equivalents) are zero dependency- so you can have multiple versions in one pipeline, and no accidentally breaking everything to get one new feature.

It's frustrating how this thread keeps conflating directness/indirectness with rudeness/kindness. They're different dimensions.

Direct/rude: "Wow, X is a stupid way to do Y. X will break case Z, but I guess you're not smart enough to notice things like that. Start over and try not to waste my time again in your next pull request."

Direct/kind: "I see you're doing X, but there might be a better way to accomplish Y. For example, X will break case Z. Could you try a different implementation with that in mind?"

Indirect/rude: "You must be an idiot to try X. Users who Z will hate you if this change makes it through. Out of all the ways to do Y I don't know why you'd choose this one."

Indirect/kind: "I appreciate your effort, but I'm not sure about X. You may not have realized that Z is an important use case and there might be other ways to do Y. It would be nice to think about this some more."

I suppose the "Here's the MD5 for your download" concept is useful if the file is being served from a different host than the website itself. Someone could tamper with the file server, but may not have access to the HTML rendering a link to that file server.

But you're right about serving the data & checksum from the same source. I don't see what extra layer of security or integrity it adds. Someone tampering with server file system, or the data transfer (MitM) inherently has the access they need to inject their own MD5 into the HTML.
The BATNA for the employee is one of those other offers.

The BATNA for the employer is training a new person who isn't going to make every 6-12 months a fight.

Suggesting that it's fine for the employee to exercise their BATNA, but that it's not OK for the employer to exercise theirs seems a bit odd.

what, they'll find a better and better job every six months?

From the commenter above, make your employer fight for you every 6-12 months.. A lot of people hate stack ranking ("making your employee fight for their job every 6-12 months"), so why do people think that companies will want to be in the reverse position.

how they'd be paid better somewhere else, deal with it. Denial gets you nowhere.

The above poster said, "wished the employee all the best with his new job.", which is dealing with it, and not denying it. It's a win/win for everyone. The employee gets a new position with presumably higher pay, and the employer gets a chance to hire someone who isn't going to make them "fight for you every 6-12 months".
However, the failure of the two is independent.
One snag may be the collection of metrics. Marketing people seem to have realized that there's a burgeoning market that they haven't destroyed yet and they seem determined to correct this oversight. If they decide that they need to monitor listeners or make sure they can't skip ads, then third party clients are going to never happen.

Blue Apron Plummets After Amazon Files for Meal-Kit Trademark
As an employer, I've never countered when given a "choice" like that.

If they do make a counteroffer and you stay, you can be sure they are now looking for a replacement.
If they value those things, then they should be happy to compensate employees that have shown those traits at above market value. Then you retain the talent, and you likely do not run into compensation issues moving forward. Generally you see stagnation in pay, or the company expects you're willing to make well below market rate because it's a product you care about. At the end of the day I care about survival and feeding my family.

E-verify is not mandatory at the Federal Level. It is only mandatory in certain states due to state law:

"In addition, some states have specific laws that require employers in the state to use E-Verify. This is currently the case in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Utah (for employers with 15 or more employees). Louisiana and Tennessee require E-Verify unless an additional, alternate verification step is completed as outlined under state law. Other states have the E-Verify requirement limited to contractors or public employers. However, the list of states seems to be growing, and there is legislation afoot in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives that may mandate E-Verify for all employers (depending on size)."

Yes, BeautifulSoup is focused on parsing not crawling (BS supports the lxml parser out of the box). Scrapy is more of an opinionated scraping framework whereas BS is a parsing library for scraping. I think the choice depends on what exactly you're trying to build and scale. I like both personally, though I'd use BS for simple MVPs and Scrapy if I wanted to crawl thousands of pages.

How Your Business Can Benefit from API Usage?
The issue is that "the right employer" where what you describe is possible is also almost certainly highly competitive for junior roles and gets worse the higher up the tech ladder one climbs.

The actual data indicate that for the vast majority of developers "sticking with it" puts them behind the salary curve. In this industry especially that's bad because of the effects of ageism.

What you describe is possible, but represents a minority of career tracks, especially in this industry.
