More likely they would just reward themselves by making a hand wavy argument about how value isn't flowing to them like it should be in their idea of a rational market and increase the tax.

A land value tax would also put the onerous cost on citizens nearby and make rents and property cost even more. Then you would probably see a stream of subsides come in to support low income renters.

It seems like it is a much more intrusive government solution with a lot of downside.
Agreed! Paint was the only Microsoft product that I actually loved.
> Facebook didn't make the area expensive. No tech company did. Those local businesses, and the chains alike, have made it expensive. So much blame gets put on the tech companies, but the tech companies aren't raising the prices, they are just paying people better, and the local businesses abuse that to the fullest extent. There is no NEED to charge $6 for a gallon of milk, when milk from those same cows is sold for $2 50 miles away... thats not a SV valley tech company problem, its a SV valley retailer problem, and the blame needs to shift that way...

You're attacking a false target. Buying food in the bay area isn't expensive. Rent and housing is expensive. There's a great Costco in mountain view that charges the same prices as Costco most other places. Similar for other grocery options.

When I lived there last year, our food bills were comparable to living in Pittsburgh. Our rent on a 3br/1ba house, not renovated since 1956, with a portable dishwasher in the garage... was 50% more than my mortgage is in Pittsburgh for a decent size house in a lovely little neighborhood 3/4 of a mile from my work. It was rather shocking.

It's a combination of high salaries and crappy housing policy leading to an explosion in property costs.

Could you please elaborate ? I read the whole thing when I posted this comment: it seems like Kite did not automatically request its servers and I do think that plugin-mania is the bigger problem here. Installing plugins with no way to audit or restrict their access to the system capabilities is the problem. They should run in a sandbox. This has even been suggested before [1] but it seems like it has not yet been implemented.

Yes, I don't think I'll get a chance to dig out my Makefile. But my Makefile was very much like this.
Preview actually lets you do a lot of things you might have wanted to use paint for. Unfortunately, nobody in their right mind would expect something called 'preview' to do image editing, so I never noticed until someone told me.
I don't understand, what point are you making? Your solution is pull yourself up by your bootstraps?
It is terrible that he can't live in Menlo Park on 75K. On the other hand the reason he lives in a garage is because he and is family are living with his parents, most likely to save money and avoid the horrendous commute most of his coworkers probably face.

On yet a third hand I can't feel all that bad for this guy since he someday stands to inherit a house worth millions of dollars

I live in New York City's Flatiron district [1], adjacent to Chelsea [2]. It's a wealthy neighbourhood with vibrant retail activity.

One day, over brunch with a friend in real estate, we did some back-of-the-envelope math on one of the neighbourhood's housing projects. If the city (or, in the case of Penn South, the coöperative) simply sold the ground floor of housing to retailers, they'd generate enough cash to build an entirely new structure somewhere uptown.

This never happens because nobody is politically incentivised to do it.

This isn't necessarily only about copyright infringement (though it's definitely that too). If some of the source code on your machine contain sensitive information, like API keys, database passwords, etc.

Legally, the word "theft" isn't only used when one party loses anything; a victim of identity theft doesn't lose their identity, yet we don't call it "identity infringement". I'm not familiar enough with US law to know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if the word "theft" is used somewhere for obtaining sensitive information without permission.
Serious question: what is an AI coprocessor technically? Some machine learnt models burned on a chip? Or some kind of a neural net with updatable weights?
They're not really focused on making a consumer version, they're trying to turn it into an enterprise product first

This happens to be the one under which Kite would fall (since they're infringing copyright for "commercial advantage").
Definitely not the case. Huge numbers of SME clients evaluate tendered work on visual inspection alone. I've only had one or two clients ever (having worked in-house, contract, and for an agency) have had any knowledge of cyber security.

I think the hypothetical above is very reasonable. Lots of technical vendors will elect to shift blame. They should take responsibility for their issues, but they often don't.
In my experience they have meteoric careers that then suddenly crash and burn spectacularly. Unfortunately after a big crash they're usually able to find more fools and repeat the pattern. You'll often see someone whose career looks like a sawtooth wave.
Isn't Mozilla organized as a for-profit that owns a non-profit? Actually, if you look at US tax law there are reasons that some non-profits have for-profit parts. I know Mayo was organized that way. I think it had to do with some salary requirements, but its been twenty years, so I'm a bit fuzzy.

Personally I think medical diagnostics are the most interesting and useful AI.

Radiology, and healthcare overall, is set to be improved rapidly if we can get some more labeled data. The hardware and software is already ready to start learning how to diagnose cancer and other health issues based on human-scan data.

Not sure whether an "intelligence" rating is possible, given that AI systems are still designed to be domain-specific, i.e., self driving cars aren't detecting cancer.

Sorry, I didn't word that correctly. I was referring to actually leaving the keys on the outside. What I was trying to get at is the mental image of a shady person skulking around in a backyard. I think many people have that sort of "what were you even doing there" perception of so-called hackers regardless of their flavour. If they instead realized that a public facing interface is something that will inevitably be explored over and over again, they would have a different opinion.
Yes, if anything Grantland was only the latest example of how bad sharecropping is for the tenant.

The International Space Station Is Now on Google Street View
I used a Hololens and it was awesome (it fit over my glasses). Inference on Hololens could make you do so much more. Maybe you could use it to take scans of parts from a CNC or the CNC tool and create a system that could tell you if a similar piece will fail in the future. From what I have seen compared to Google Glass I think it could be possible for richer interactions and also it uses both eyes. But, I haven't heard any Enterprise users use Hololens.
The cynic would say their Windows 10 behavior is a continuing abuse - including the unwarranted setting of Edge and other Microsoft apps as defaults (overriding the user's settings) after an update, the forced upgrades, and so on.

Except now they have a "but it's about keeping the users safe" pretext, so they don't catch as much hate for it.
I would suggest look at givecamp (you just missed the event that was this past weekend, http://clevelandgivecamp.org/) or similar programs. If you are looking for non-profits that need dev services, they would all be at these events.
> You are delusional or you have serious maths problems: if you can afford to give 100 to 10 people, you automatically afford to give 100 to 100,000 people? What logic is that?

Ah, yes this is what the economists say. They are the delusional ones. Means testing breeds resentment and separates people. No, Scandinavians you don't get a say in this until you have as much "diversity" as we do in the United States.

Here is what I say to the economists (no offense to the news outlet): seriously, screw you. They have to disown Alan Greenspan before I will listen to a word of "logic" from the "economists".

We have two options: eliminate entitlements or raise taxes (or a combination of both). I am OK with either option. What I am not OK with is divisive politics, fear-mongering, hypocrisy.

Raise income taxes as much as you need to and/or lower entitlements as much as we can but let us agree to get rid of means testing. Let us aspire to what Barack Obama said in his speech,

> There is not a liberal America and a conservative America—there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America—there's the United States of America.

Thank you.

How is AI meaningless? I mean, I guess the term can be seen as silly, but I mentally map it to "statistical computing."

[edit] Since I'm getting down votes, can someone clarify? I wasn't being contrarian with the above comment. Is my mental map of what AI means as an industry term incorrect?
Old school N800/N810 owner here. Nokia failed long before the N900, let alone the N9. You had the Symbian business unit veto-ing the release of any Maemo (Meego's name before they tried to align with the other players that had a desktop OS along the same lines.) Every release was incompatible with the last.. for example NIT2006 (N770) was incompatible with NIT2007 (N800, and a bleeding edge port for N770 because som many users were upset the device got dropped) was incompatible with NIT2008 (N800) was incompatible with NIT2008 R2/Diablo (N800, N810) - this lost a massive amount of packaged software, and alienated the community. I mean, the N770 had many hundreds of packages. The N800 had a few hundred (like, half, maybe less), the N810 was getting to the point were Nokia's own repo was looking bare, and third parties were the only real support. Then the next OS version (Harmatten?) was for the N900 only. Then they were moving to Qt, even though we were promised that GTK+ would always be the UI tool kit. Nokia management bungled everything. Made supporting the device a horrible experience, and people left. I'm happy that you liked the N9, but the writing was on the wall maybe 2 or 3 years prior to that, around when the N900 appeared.
Coming from Windows all my life to OS X was a bit bumpy. I will say not being able to create a quick text document is so very mildly annoying. But I've learned to use Notes.app in place of my usual purposes for *.txt files unless I'm wanting to move some chunk of text data somewhere quickly outside of the walled garden of my Apple ecosystem.
It is not well documented by anyone. However, the expectation is that it is a matrix or convolution coprocessor, as this is a common operation in deep neural networks (for both inference and training). For instance, NVIDIA says they are supporting 4x4 convolutions with the tensor unit.
Don't forget that there are actual people that come up with, and write the code for projects like React.

They're often solving problems that affect large numbers of developers (initially, inside their company). And, because of the scale of a company like Facebook, they can afford to work full time on these projects.

They then open source them because there's no strategic value to keeping them private, and significant upside to building a community around them (and not undermining that).

I'd argue that some of the best open source projects come from large companies - due to the sheer number of developer hours they can throw at them. Small dev shops can't afford it, there are very few OSS foundations, and there just aren't that many people (relatively) that can devote enough time on the side to compete.
In many small project the owner (o small set of owners) just commit the changes without approval. In same case on person writes more than the 50% of the commits, and it's not practical to get someone to review the code.

In this case abe33 has the 75% of the commits, someone else 15% and the rest is a bunch of people with 1% or less.

Just a mere suggestion: you may look into how it's done in yeoman (https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/3093#issuecomment-22034...) and read this https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/3093 as there's lots of user input there.
So it was like buying tickets online? if multiple people were interested in the same region, the one which payment went through first got the region? However, this must still have been chaotic once the interest started to rise as space would seem empty until the payment was confirmed, and others would try to buy in the meantime. I guess you would also just have to make a rough estimate on the design of your banner and just buy the space, no time to design it first.

I think the fact that you're arguing this shows that you've never worked around heavy machinery.
This article is borderline "Millennial bait," but: Suppose I invite you over to my apartment to hang out. I offer you a beer. You accept, so I tally "1 beer" on a little notepad.

You have some potato chips. ("13 chips" goes on your tally.) You use the toilet twice, flushing both times. ("7 gallons of water" goes on your tally.)
You're a bit hot, so I turn up the air conditioning. (I need to break out the calculator, but "+$0.63 for AC" also goes on your tally.) You tell me about a sad movie you watched recently. (This reminds me of a family problem I am having, which is mentally taxing. Since I'll likely need an anxiety pill, I add a fraction of the prescription cost to your tally.) You suggest a walk in the park; we go out. Walking makes me thirsty, so I buy a bottle of water. (But since walking was your idea, I add "1 bottle of water" to your tally.)

Do any of the above come across as petty - or absurd - to you? If so, then that will give you some idea of how someone might feel that splitting social meal expenses down to the penny - and with a written record, to boot - feels transactional. The point is everyone has a threshold where this kind of Venmo'ing behavior goes from innocently equitable to distrustfully penny-pinching.

Venmo'ing someone can be the equivalent of saying, "I don't trust that our relationship will proceed in terms that will average out in such a way that is fair to me." Insisting on Venmo'ing is a lot like insisting that your significant other tell you their email password. If you have to insist this in all cases, maybe rethink your relationship?
Is it splitting hairs to point out that many developers use React who also don't "happily embeds Facebook JS blob/web bug" in their pages? That's the whole point under discussion here, that the spirit and body of open source is that software can be transparently built and maintained for the greater good, and that Kite's quiet, self-serving changes seem to violate what most people consider standard conduct.

How far do you want to take the sins-of-the-creator argument? Does everyone who writes or executes JS become an abettor to Brenden Eich's beliefs on same-sex marriage? How many Internet users are linked to U.S. war actions given DARPA's large role in creating the Internet?

An argument about whether Facebook and Google are evil is out of scope for this thread, but pretty much argued daily in various other daily threads. I think it's possible for people to like corporations and open source, yet find it disturbing when corporations violate community standards of open source.

Even if it were as simple as that, it wouldn't be as simple as that!

There's a difference between short-term and long-term profitability. Being 'nice' might limit profits in the short term but might be crucial for long-term survival.

And, nobody knows for sure what the correct long-term strategy is. Not every step that yields an immediate profit is a step in the right direction.
I kind of doubt anyone would vote for a tax increase spread across the population evenly, even if it hypothetically was offset by equivalent benefits. In reality, the tax burden would be progressive, and upper middle class people would rightly ask why they're paying extra taxes for this.

I don't know why you think giving everyone money is going to "substantially" reduce net cost, either. The bureaucracy isn't where most of the cost goes.
By that definition there is no true human nature.

I believe this is a One Note shortcut. If you don't have One Note, this likely won't work.

But if you do have One Note, this is much easier than using Paint.

That's interesting, do you have a source re: position versus distance from 1st for item distribution? That invalidates a swath of my blue shell analysis downthread.
Perhaps similar to Notepad, which has been more or less feature-complete since Windows 2000 or so. I guess it is also internally "deprecated", but will continue to be shipped for quite a while. Microsoft doesn't tend to break such things. In Paint's case, I'd guess the most that will happen is that it will vanish from the Start menu, but the executable will still be there.

Raspberry Pi based product qualification programme for professional users
Let's just be clear that it's entirely OK to add telemetry to your code. The objection here from most of us I suspect is that it is on by default. If you package a tool so it does an unattended installation in some way i.e. via a package manager etc, the default state of the code should be opt-out of telemetry. If you have a GUI installer, ask the user if they want it and outline the benefits and what you collect.

If you get an uptake of say 5-10%, if that's worth it then problem solved. If it's not then don't bother adding telemetry to start with.

But before you do this, you have to ask the question: how did the software industry get by before the sudden rise of telemetry? It engaged the customer.

I think a lot of cases it is used it is used as a substitute for engaging the customer.
Probably, but it could be an on-going fight as server names or even library names could change over time. I guess in the long run it will become like any other virus/malware scanning.
I don't quite understand why you'd ever want to create a new file in this way, and I remember being baffled by it as a child when Win95 came out.

Isn't it always going to be faster to open whatever application you want to create your file in (bonus: win+r on Windows, cmd-space on Mac) and just save the new file there? Creating the file first and then invoking the program by opening it with the GUI seems like a pathological workflow.

That's a pity. It is incumbent upon the package manager vendors/curators to watch for this kind of stuff and bring the hammer down when it happens. Apple does it. Google does it. Mozilla does it.

I can guarantee that there are other commercial companies watching how this plays out. If the changes are simply rolled back without any real repercussions, what other malevolent entities will take away from this incident is, "You can inject adware into your acquired FOSS applications, but do so discretely."

Yeah. But this is the thread where two proponents of "sending a message" are using the Nuremberg Trials as a case-study.

So people should quite obviously chill a bit. Even if the pitchfork-people in this thread only wish bad PR upon this company, thousands of people are reading these threads, and it only takes one slightly unstable personality to think he'll be a hero for the community if he publishes the CEO's honeymoon photos (or whatever).

Also, to keep this in perspective: they did nothing illegal. Changing the rules is a much better course of action than vigilant justice if you believe this to be wrong.
While this Kite company seems rather scummy, I think it's a bit disingenuous to frame it as an attack on open source. Actually it's the one thing open source can handle better than anything else: just fork the repo and carry on.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the article but it feels like a weakness in open source is exposed when in fact the real problem would be if those applications were closed and you were stuck with crappy software if you didn't want to switch to a brand new tool. How's Skype doing lately?

Open source is vindicated by these scummy tactics, not undermined.
That's a OneNote shortcut. Not everyone uses OneNote, though, and thus not everyone can use that. It's not a part of Windows 10.
I don't have a specific idea or non-profit in mind, but as a developer (professional, 10+ years experience making web applications and a few on mobile) that has been working on hobby projects for a long time I have been looking to use my skills to better the world in some way for quite some time.

I would like to offer my services to help build this app (free of charge of course).
But refinement doesn't seem accurate, as it implies that there are changes being made, while this is not necessarily the case.
