There are no straw men here. Only classic deflect-and-gaslight tactics older than either of us. But hey, you go on misusing the phrase "straw man", champ. Credit to your gender, etc.

Stop defending sexism. If your behavior is indistinguishable from sexism save for intent, it is sexism. Period.

If ZFS was licensed under a license that was identical, except the name was OPL, would this be an issue?

I guess I am asking if the GPL is compatible with itself under a different name? Because if it isn't that seems like an unfortunate feature.

I have the Samsung Chromebook 3 (same size and resolution). I don't mind it at all. By comparison, the 14" Lenovo from my employer has the same resolution and looks worse. The Chromebook is no retina display, but it's not that bad in my opinion.
Nobody notices ;)
Also if you're motivated and dig well enough, you'll find plenty of copies on college classes lectures websites. Albeit nowhere near scihub but still..
I recently changed one of the tires of my old car for only $45, I was told it was a "second hand" tire, but it looked pretty new to me. I used to change tire at the Costco tire center, where I though I got deals. They usually suggest changing at least 2 tires each time and asks for at least $250 after some member discounts.

I also recently purchased an Audi and was told that each tire of an Audi will cause $400. I wonder why it is so expensive and if I could still go to the store and purchase a second hand tire for the Audi.

I don't know what it means for "second hand" tire.

I remember this youtube video about recycling tires https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERDIsONgSCQ

I guess tires can be renewed?

I also know they can be used to make shoes.
If it was in GCC it would be possible to get a setup that makes it consistently reproducible, nor probabilistic as it is now.

> They added Python 3 features to Python 2 over the years to encourage adoption of Python 3 as the standard. It worked.

Did it really? My impression was the opposite: the fact that so much of Python 3 became available in Python 2 made people feel like there was no point in moving to Python 3.
in a way researchers paying for reading research is an absurd inflation.
> I guess another important part is that it's the universities' connection that scihub 'uploaders' tunnel through that are key

Does this happen in realtime? I read that sci-hub sometimes uses credentials from legitimate users, but in that case they would be easily identified.

So, perhaps someone with access submits papers on request? And if so, what about watermarking?
Thats excellent. I'm going to go though it later when I have more time.

Old school web design is so fast.

thanks!
Step 2: The parent absolutely did not blame the victim for simply being there.

Step 3: You're assuming the victim would necessarily feel shame by trying to help them deal with assholes, and you're also assuming that shame was the intended outcome of telling them to stand up/call out idiots in the midst of their idiocy.
Your phone slows down with too many apps installed? Maybe it's time to think about your phones OS..
(I have several hundred apps installed on my 3 year old phone, actually use most of them if only occasionally and it's still as fast as on day one, and still gets every OS update on day one. Guess what phone it is..)
damn, that sounds like it would be a lousy business to be in. But I guess I'm wrong because they did it?
The walled garden absolutely prevents fragmentation.

Apple has on multiple occasions over the years removed apps from the stores that weren't updated to use the latest iOS SDK. This meant that since all apps are targeting the latest iOS there is little impediment to moving the entire platform forward.
You're not getting my point. Education itself is a form of wealth in terms of increased future earnings; otherwise few would pay for it. That wealth doesn't show up on anybody's balance sheet because it's hard to measure, but it still there. When some millennial says they have negative net worth due to student loans, they're not accounting for the positive value that their education affords them due to the fact they can do skilled labor.

Look at it this way -- if a company A has an EBITDA of $20k/year and company B has an EBITDA of $40k/year, the MBAs will have no problem assigning values to these companies. And companies can increase their earnings by going into debt such that their net worth as measured by these calculations can increase. But substitute a human in, and suddenly everybody has negative net worth.
Stuff using Intel's compiler or maths libraries is going to suck, somewhat.

Other stuff, that's just using MSVC/gcc/clang/llvm code targeted to Skylake/Haswell etc will run just fine, as Zen's microarch is similar enough.

AMD's own compiler is like a 3% performance difference for us, compared to regular clang. No big influence, basically.
Show HN: Hacking an ultrasound probe with a Raspberry Pi and low-cost hardware
Sadly this does not appear to work well with Alpine. I get a message about needing Ubuntu 16 to run or I can try using a different method "ghost install local" that requires Yarn instead of just NPM. I like Yarn, but requiring seems silly.

Trying to build this with Windows during the beta phase left me with plenty of issues as well. They do have a good Slack channel though & are active on GitHub, so kudos to them for always being responsive.

Hosting your own version has also always been a bit of a pain when wanting to use Docker on AWS or Azure. For example, you probably want to store your uploaded files in an S3 bucket or similar. That requires adding some node modules & doing minor configuration. I think it's safe to say Ghost would rather make it a bit painful to host this on your own.

If someone is looking to create the next Wordpress, Ghost is a great place to start. Just like Wordpress they started out with a focus on being the best CMS for blogs. They have a great platform but it is missing a lot of core features that are important to bloggers. If anyone is interested in doing this, I would be glad to chat.
Agreed that the best publishers act as both a filter and improve the production quality of the papers, and that this is a true cost. I'd hope that they could continue to do what they do and also get paid by their subscribers. Ideally, they could do that AND the works could be published for free, and those who value their efforts would in turn reward the publishers for their efforts as well by subscribing to the paid version of their publications.

That said, Wikipedia mostly works. Between professional editors and the community, decent knowledge is categorized, edited/peer-reviewed and interlinked. Why the same cannot be done with academic papers is beyond me, other than to assume people simply don't want to change the status quo.

I also agree with your last point - so long as authors can contractually publish their own work, they should - and the Internet should make it as easy as humanely possible. I've published a paper before to an academic journal and had that clause, and then put it online on my own site as well (until I took my site down).

Random thing - I do think the standards of what constitutes knowledge matter, but boy do we hold them so high. I think there are many forms knowledge comes in, and expecting them to all be polished perfection is perhaps too lofty a goal. Knowledge is always a work in progress. Discerning between fact and fiction is the same whether you have a polished paper or a garbage one, it's just one is a lot easier to consume and you have more trust inherent by the nature of the reputation associated with the publisher, author, citations, etc.
In this case it looks more like your team/company is shit. Even as a male something like "I need room for my big dick" would've made me very uncomfortable in a professional setting.
from the article looks like everything started just after the author posted a link on the slack channel. maybe just avoid posting this articles on slack. you are supposed to work not to rise a fire.
if you had problem about sexism in the company you should leave/complain and not trying to fix something chitchatting on slack.
Thanks for sharing, haven't heard of it. I see they teach to Deaf and Blind (and both) so definitively a fit. Thanks!
>might open the door for copyright suits against the universities

How so? The university will just say that they terminate the subscription to save costs (which is true), and they are not responsible for legal transgressions of each researcher. They just can't tell them "get your papers from sci-hub". Even the researchers themselves are only downloading, not distributing, which in many legislations is looked at quite favorably with comparatively small punishments.
Essentially, the simpleton is treating your previous move as either a reward or punishment.

If you cooperated, then the simpleton thinks the thing it did last time must have been good and does it again. If you cheated, the simpleton thinks the thing it did last time must have been bad and does the opposite.

It follows these rules based on its last move even if that last move was flipped from what it should have been due to the chance of mistake.
> Does that mean the NFL should shut down? Should they continue to operate as normal?

Saying the NFL should shut down is debatable: at least there we have adults making decisions (which can, after more research is published, be informed decisions) about their health and life.

However, if the incidence really is that high, at the very least high school football should be banned, or modified in such a way that the risk of head injury is diminished, if that's possible.

> Should I feel bad as a fan for watching football? Is it any worse than buying clothing made by child labor from a third world country?

I wouldn't say you should feel bad. NFL players are consenting adults who are being compensated (to some degree, at least) for the risk. We can't say the same of third-world child labor.
Trust, however, is not a miracle drug.

For one thing, people can build trust with the intend to abuse it after a longer period of time. An abuser, for example, could plan to offer 20 "good rides" on Uber until s/he strikes. For another thing, many people have learnt to skillfully simulate trust which may pose a problem for you. For instance, you may believe to be in a loving relationship but all of a sudden you find out that the other person isn't interested in you at all and just didn't want to be alone etc.
Linux has a established rule for module license.

In the kernel, functions which might be used by any modules are exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL. But if a module wants to use functions exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, then the module has to use GPL.
This lines up with my experience. Strangely I had someone submit a bunch of slightly passive-aggressive "Py3 support" pull requests to a couple of my repos which were basically the result of running 2to3 on the code. They hadn't even bothered to run the unit tests (which obviously failed spectacularly). It did however prompt me to get Py3 support working properly which was actually a good thing.

You've found watermarks in sci-hub PDFs? I hadn't noticed that but maybe I was too excited about being able to get the damn paper.

You could tweet at them with a link to a Github repo of your scripts, they are active on Twitter
No, not at all. Nor would models like "pay into a pool and get paid based on citations", either. That'd create perverse incentives, not least of which more incentive to push for citations to your own works when doing review.
Wonderfully said.
Glad you like it! Unfortunately we don't support importing from Trello yet. We offer a generic import for HTML and Markdown, so if you can get the data out of Trello that way you might be able to import it.

Why would I want to talk about these parts in the bar? Or why would I want to hear about them from someone else?

I can't talk about these parts at the bar. And I'll feel very uncomfortable and will have to ask that person in the group to stop if they were to do that.

I hold a belief that one needs to maintain professional (or at least semi-professional) conduct in the bar too. Otherwise, it is just too immature.
It's nice to have both.
Yep, it really explains the strangeness of men's interactions very cogently. It's nearly a year old, but it's stuck with me because it was so good. Also shows how repressed most of us are, that our way of figuring out how our friends are feeling is to attack them--in game design terms, our "verb" for loving is the same as the "verb" for hurting, which might explain why so many women in a male-dominated workplace feel attacked.
I second this, pretty immature language to be using around a professional field. It never adds value.
That is crazy! That must have been my girlfriend, can't wait to tell her. Greetings back from Germany :)
It's not just ISA.

If a competitor to AMD or Intel came out with a chip that requires recompiles, but is significantly ahead of them in a key metric, it would sell in the server market.

But competing with Intel and AMD takes billions of research, and well, the design of modern CPUs is surely a patent minefield too.

Just look at what's (not) happening with ARM servers.
The reliance of measuring intelligence in only a handful of highly specific ways is a failing that is found across humanity.
Actually nobody who worked on the movie could decide on what Deckard is. The writers originally wanted to make it ambiguous, and Ridley Scott made his opinion known by adding the dream sequence in the directors cut.

There are sequel books, but only the first was written by PKD. He died before the movie came out (although he saw parts of it and gave it his blessing). The sequels were written by a friend of his.
Nearly every how-to and blog post I've found on "Chromebooks for developers" essentially starts with either: "Boot into Developer Mode" or "Install Debian/Ubuntu as the main OS". I'll just say it: This is bad advice. It would be akin to recommending that friends jailbreak their shiny new iPhone. You're obviously free to do as you wish with your own gear, but recognize that at Step 1, you'll have lost most of the core security features of Chromebook

Well, it's possible to temporarily unlock firmware write protection and replace Google key with your own and run self-signed kernels and arbitrary distribution securely. But indeed, I haven't heard of anyone actually going through the effort to do so.
I hope there is. I'm definitely interested; in fact, I'm actively seeking out positive, hopeful sci-fi now.
Up to half of the matter in our Milky Way galaxy may come from distant galaxies
Then, there's the silicon valley religion of idol-worship. Whatever Paul Graham, Elon Musk ... say must be true, and hence canon.

Ironic for all the AI, machine learning, data-science toting startups to go in the exact opposite direction when it comes to canonizing obvious non-science.
Boxing was the football of the 1920s, with saturation radio and newspaper coverage, and became the top sport of the early broadcast TV era. It has been declared dead or dying at regular intervals despite being a solid performer into the pay-per-view era. Like football, it would probably be somewhat safer if its "protective" gear was reduced or redesigned.
Sorry for my ignorance, what is en-wm ?

there was a period in the middle of the book where it was really in doubt if Deckard was or wasn't.
Respectfully without knowing your background, I hear this sort of anecdotal story a lot. Often times it is from people who ran a tiny amount of spend, didn't have their account properly setup, didn't have solid conversion tracking setting for the areas that matter, and then arrived at the conclusion that it failed because it "drove lots of clicks and cost lots of money" without any mention of whether they reached statistical significance for testing conversion performance, or any of those other things I mentioned. Waiting for people to come in saying they were referred by Google is just a really poor way to go about measuring performance of local advertising on Google with things like the ability to upload offline conversions, promoting coupons with unique codes, click-to-call ads, etc.

More often than not I've found the issue is with the advertiser, not Google. And I'm saying this as someone who has done paid search across many verticals, many size clients, and helped lead the paid search group at a top search agency.

My take on the reason for this is Google and FB make a genuine effort to make it easy for mom and pop businesses to advertise with them. However they also tend to push them towards things that maximize their revenue and margins in the process (as one might expect) even if it wasn't necessarily in the best interest of the advertiser.

For example, when you click to create a new campaign, Google has "Search Network with Display Select" as the first option, and they say "best opportunity to reach the most customers." That is easily the most salesy wording in that entire list. And inexperienced advertisers might think it was the right choice. But it is not. I can't think of a single experienced advertiser I know who would ever mix search and display network traffic. I just can't think of any real reason that could potentially offset the downsides of doing so. But you'd be hard pressed to figure that out just by taking their UI and docs and recommendations at face value.

There is a reason that an entire media career path has sprung up around managing search and display, and that's because it is highly technical, extremely complex, and changing at a breathtaking pace--much like engineering.
Phew, tough crowd. We use Ghost for our company blog. It works great! Spun the new editor up locally and it's pretty slick; I'm excited to use it.

Nice work, Ghost Team. Only gripe is the electron-desktop application; Byword integration with Ghost would be preferred, or a method of using a well integrated non-electron native application, if Ghost isn't too keen on cooking one up -- which, I understand.
Plenty of the papers I've gotten from scihub are watermarked. The "downloaded by [IP] at [timestamp]" footer could probably be stripped, but they don't appear to do so, or at least not consistently.
> outside top 500 scientists across all the fields combined no one produces quality papers

Just to make sure I read this correctly: Are you saying that, when judging by paper quality, there are only 500 good scientists on Earth?

Really impressed with the update, and really excited about the new Koenig composer. Having built a CMS at my news startup (edsurge) I know firsthand the pain that comes from composers that use html as the document storage model, rather than a more flexible (and recompilable) intermediate format like json.

I've long liked the Ghost approach, but some of the execution (composer, themes, and lack of self-updating) has been seriously wanting. Looks like 1.0 fixes these points.

My big gripe with 1.0 is the default Casper 2.0 theme. They've decided to include one of the most persistent anti-patterns on blogs of adding a fixed header sharing bar [1]. Mobile devices already have both sharing and scrollbar functionality, making the header both redundant and actually worse UX, since it takes away valuable reading space. It's totally for the benefit of the blogger and chasing a trend at the expense of the reading experience for the user, all to get a few extra shares. This has been covered before [2].

My view is defaults like these are so important in encouraging best practices and setting expectations. Although its only on this one theme (and can be disabled easily if you dig around and customize), I imagine other themes will dutifully copy the pattern, assuming its how the Ghost experience should be. From the outset, Ghost was about 'just a blogging platform', free of the cruft of Wordpress - a minimal expression of what blogging should be. This sharing bar is not that.

Still, kudos to the Ghost team for shipping 1.0. So many good changes.

Every discussion on Twitter on HN talks about UX issues like the threaded comment layout, as though these are what's responsible for driving away Twitter's audience.

I think the simple answer is that you don't actually have to ever visit Twitter to know what Trump, Nicki Minaj, Drake etc. are saying.

Whatever is said on a tweet will be screen-capped and re-reported on your favourite gossip website, news site, Instagram page, reddit, etc. That's what you get with a 140-character limit. Whatever you said or pic you snapped can easily be reproduced on a different medium in its entirety.
It's not just the publishing industry that is the problem. It is merely a symptom of the greater malaise in higher education as a whole.

The focus is on degrees, not on true learning. So much of what occurs is in universities is total waste. But people put up with it to get the paper. As long as people keep blindly giving absurd sums of money to get the paper, these expensive publications will last. The answer is for people to wake up and value learning over a diploma. When that happens, then finally issues like this will go away. Heck, as a bunch of people have pointed out, many of these papers aren't even for real learning. They are worded in such a way as to make them sound smart to their peers, but unintelligible to the public.
