Kim Dotcom and The Pirate Bay are, essentially, extralegal cases. KD and TPB consistently frustrated interests that are powerful enough to get bureaucrats to supersede the legal system (as long as it's ambiguous and rare enough not to comprise a slam dunk against the bureaucrat). A bit of pressure and the problem gets solved one way or another.

Sweden only moved against TPB after the WTO threatened them with sanctions. It's likely that New Zealand caved in the belief that they'd face similar unpleasantness.

We must understand that underneath the fancy dressings and the formalities that we create to make ourselves feel important, humans are essentially the same; our psychologies are all dictated by the same biological processes. We must not kid ourselves about this. It is always dangerous to upset or frustrate powerful interests. If you taunt someone much more powerful than you, as TPB did, do not expect formalities like law to make a difference.

A lot of starry-eyed entrepreneurs go in thinking that everyone will be pleasant and sportsmanlike, and see their work as a friendly collaborative competition. This is not true! People will skirt and break every rule they can to win, because they see the competition as a matter of survival, not as a fun game.

The copyright cartel is out of control along every axis. Not only do they make use of an artificially-granted, market-destroying monopoly to stifle the creative speech of the public, but in multiple cases now, they've triggered an extralegal override of national sovereignty to persecute a little guy who was frustrating their oppressive business model in ways that were completely legal within his/her jurisdiction.

If our politicians want to get out under these peoples' thumbs, they need to seriously revise copyright law, and tell the fat cats that they're going to have to be productive to make money instead of milking royalties for 100+ years and sending the feds across the world to black bag entrepreneurs.

Standard peer reviewed libraries for the new world of smart contracts is sorely needed. Hopefully the increased complexity does not increase the gas costs of the contracts too much. I think most devs would trade higher gas costs for a more secure platform to develop on. Anyone who lost funds in the parity wallet hack would probably agree.

At first glance, I read: "Starred-crossed lovers will run afoul of DRM scheme - to whit, a remix:

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patented ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

This should get more recognition from the media. Especially as AMD are launching server and high-end CPUs with high core-counts (where I assume a large part of the market will be programmers), getting 120fps instead of 140fps in ${SOME_GAME} is irrelevant compared to unpredictable crashes during `make -j 16`.

A couple or so year ago, Budweiser (or one of the other large beer companies) had a display at the grocery store I frequented depicting the concept of large anthropomorphic robots playing the game.

Imagine high-speed, large scale robo-soccer - for football.

I am not a sports fan in general, but I would watch the hell out of such a game if it could be created. Especially if everything was fully autonomous, and teams were made of machines created by smaller groups or individuals.

Basically, take today's "robot soccer" or "robot sumo" competitors, mix them up with the "robot combat" people, throw in a dash (a small dash) of SRL - and give them a way to organize and build the teams...

The robots wouldn't need to be anthropomorphic - specialized vehicle-style robots would work just as well. It'd have the spectacle of football wrapped up with robot combat and demolition derby. There'd likely be fire, explosions, smoke, massive noise - it could become an insane spectacle.

And - provided that the arena it is held in is constructed properly - no human injuries would occur.

Ultimately, easier said than done, and I am certain the first few games wouldn't be that much fun to watch until the building teams or whatnot got the hang of how to build such machines. But if that could be gotten past - it might be something grand to see.
Interesting. I saw Ghost when it was on Kickstarter and my mental model of it was still "That's the blog platform with the nice dashboard."

Guess not.

I did look at them again (Ghost Pro) last time I thought about setting up a blog, but there was no way to serve static files alongside posts. Anything that's not the text and images has to be hosted separately unless you want to roll your own Ghost server. If I ever get around to making myself a website I'll probably just use Pelican.
a lot of people in tech don't have that skill either.
How? Does nationwide political sentiment turn on HN comments?
>I think I fear that marketing forces are stronger than consumer knowledge.

I fear regulations for that reason. If political marketers convince voters to elect some puppet for special interests, who imposes regulations mandating I use some inferior product, by prohibiting all other options, I have no way to opt out.

I trust the ability of people to see through marketing lies when it's in the context of an organic market with multiple options, mediated my consumer interest, more than when it's relating to politics and proposed regulations to mandate one solution for the entirety of society.

There is a lot of propaganda out there to make people fear the market, and to believe that its advocates are the bad guys (unsuspecting dupes for corporate interests), and I believe that this is by design, and the originators of these memes are in fact projecting. They represent a powerful elite who stand to extract economic rent when the state eliminates choice from market in the name of consumer protection, and they have created an elaborate ideology to convince the population to support their policies. Don't fall for it.

>Monopoly, information asymmetry (You don't have the same resource as GS to understand the market condition ).

The government can address monopolies without prohibiting consumer choice. It can simply fund a public option. For example, it can provide publicly owned roads, so that people aren't stuck with a private road network. It doesn't need to prohibit private roads.

As for information asymmetry, this is effectively dealt with in the market. See my microprocessor example I brought up earlier.

>Most people would reject slavery, experimentation on human, kidnapping, extortion ... as normal behavior.

These are all qualitatively different than buying food with hormone disrupting chemicals. In fact, the law you're advocating is more like these things, as it reduces personal autonomy by restricting the right to engage in voluntary interactions. It is clear when a legal remedy is appropriate, and when it is not. This can be deciphered by considering the nature of the law:

I played football in up through High School, and I'd definitely say I would be a different person today if I hadn't gone through it. The camaraderie amongst the team is unique amongst every experience I've had since. Plus working through something so challenging definitely provides a great level of satisfaction.

I like who I am today, even if I might have a higher risk for any symptoms, and I believe football played a key part in my development.

He clearly loves math so the CTE study may just have been the straw that broke the camel's back. He may have been yearning to fully devote himself to math for a while now.

Regarding the broader debate that seems to be swirling along the lines of 'should we ban Football or not', I strongly believe we should not.

If parents want to prevent their kids from playing football, great, that's their choice to make. But if they allow them to play, we have to keep in mind that only a very small percentage of players will continue on to play in college, and then only another fraction of those players will continue on to play in the NFL. I'm sure that people who play youth and high school football but stop playing after HS graduation have a much lower incidence rate of CTE than players who continue on to play at the collegiate and professional levels. So for the vast majority of football players CTE isn't much a risk.

Because those who do reach the highest levels of the sport make tremendous amounts of money, as long as they are aware of the risks, they should be able to make the decision for themselves.

There's a reason all of those you cited failed. That reason is not "a cross platform environment can not be good".

The bugs in question here are not in the drivers (the bits that run in the OS kernel on the CPU). They are in the firmware (code that runs on a little ARM core on the WiFi chip itself - also called the microcode in the biz).

The driver is indeed "protected" for IP-lawyer reasons; they'll have it out under license to every Tom, Dick, and Jane looking to build a device with their chipset. The firmware, on the other hand, is very closely held, because that's where the chip's functionality lives. A WiFi chipset implements a fantastically complicated protocol, and no one wants to bake that into hardware that can't be updated as bugs are found; so they build relatively simple hardware, and slap a microcontroller right on the die that runs all the complicated logic.

This means that the microcode is as sensitive as The hardware specs on earlier generations of hardware; a competitor with a copy of that source can make a (perhaps better and improved) knockoff if they're not too worried about legal implications like, say, several dozen Chinese knockoff shops.
Doom also has keys and switches. The map is arguably rather critical as is weapon selection.
The comparison is a bit off.

If you build a RAIDZ2 wiht a 3x8TB and a 3x8TB pool, you loose 2+2x8TB = 32TB and have only 16TB usuable.

6x2+6x6 is a mixed pool so it's hard to compare to actual disks.

An alternative, better, comparison, would be a 6x8TB pool and another 6x8TB pool.

This time you loose 32TB to parity and have 8x8=48TB usuable. If you rebuild it to a 12x8TB pool, you loose 16TB to parity and have 80TB usuable.
New Relic, DataDog, PagerDuty, Pingdom, apex.sh
This is my answer as well. The more projects and teams I work on, the less I'm willing to tie myself to any one language or framework. It's bitten me too many times in the past. Give me the spec, show me what the team I'm working with knows, then we can decide.

"Django is a great fit for any web application," becomes "Patch Django or spin up additional services with a new communication layer for web sockets?"

"Python is fast to develop in, and it will always be fast enough when running," becomes "It's not fast enough, and we don't have expertise to write the C extensions."

"Ansible is awesome," becomes "Salt fits our security needs."

"Angular all the things!" And we all saw where that one went.

For all I know, I'll be writing an Elm application in Electron. I hope not, but stranger things have happened.

Swedish ministers resign amid data security breach scandal
>on the whole, things are in general pretty good, relative to most other countries in the world.

15 years ago, those relativizations wouldn't have been necessary. Sweden was a poster child of a good society and now it isn't. Many things in your country did deteriorate quickly over the last decade or so, no matter how you try to coat it.

"At least we're still better than others" is a pretty sad statement by itself when you realize that you could be doing a lot better.

My country is currently going down the same road and it's saddening to see that we didn't learn from your mistakes.
"An historic" is not only still acceptable in the USA, but it also (IMO) sounds better. The leading "H" is not a strong-sounding consonant, and is often dropped in both American and British English.
As I was digging I found that Twitter started an algorithmic feed a while ago, and they optimize some metrics for interaction in order to show you the posts which are more relevant to you. IMHO, any form of feed filtering is prone to do unwanted things unless it can be explicitly controlled (Google+ was a good example of giving users control over their feed, but it didn't take off). The metrics optimized to decide which post to show or not show can never be completely correlated with user interest, that is one of the dangers of optimization.

Luckily for you, the people at Twitter have added a way to opt-out of the algorithmic timeline. Go in your options and uncheck the "Show best tweets first".

Mushroom Networks Offers Up VNF Services to Its Partners
Hard to say. Within 10 years there can't be any immediate consequences simply because even super-prodigy kids won't make any real contributions to anything before age 15 or so, but the financial markets can still price in future returns. On the other hand, scaling up is a huge challenge - even if 100% of East Asian parents wanted to do embryo selection and were willing to pay full price up front and plan reproduction around it, it simply wouldn't be possible because there aren't enough fertility clinics or trained doctors, and they struggle to keep up with regular fertility demand just from the usual aging & demographic transition trends.

Genetics strikes me as probably going to follow Amara's law: everyone is overestimating the effect in the short run ('China is engineering genius babies right now! Panic!') and underestimating it in the long run (I don't know what 2050 looks like, but I have a hard time envisioning a world with access to 30 years of CRISPR and 20 years of genome synthesis which is still much like ours and where the biggest change is that your smartphone weighs a tenth as much and Siri doesn't make any funny mistakes...). For short-term 5-10 year bets, AI is probably more important.
> Which, in short, is a violation of the GPL and/or the CDDL.

Please don't make statements of opinion as though they are verified fact.

On one hand you have claims like this, and on the other you have Ubuntu who have said they consulted with attorneys well-versed in open source matters who did not believe there was a violation here.

In the absence of litigation, or similar, especially considering the high profile of this issue, I'm inclined to go that way, rather than armchair lawyering here.
Just fixed, appreciate if you'd try again ;)

The thing with concussions is that it is definitely an injury football players used to simply play through, so any numbers on concussions that are more than >5 years old can't really be trusted.

They should definitely remove kick off completely, since they almost have already. Any run back is almost a guaranteed full speed head to head collision. At least with most plays the tackle is made from a considerable angle (for running backs there is rarely time for each player to approach full speed, or to come off unblocked).

Otherwise, I think it is what it is, just like people don't get up in arms about Boxing.

The "openness" trait from big five personality research (pretty legit) correlates with IQ. More open people are both more likely to question the status quo and are more likely to be more intelligent (in the strict sense of the word) than average. This suggests but doesn't necessarily mean that anything would come of it.

There's also the question of whether or not the genetic changes they attempt to make would increase intelligence independently of openness, which is likely possible, but that would require a deeper understanding and familiarity with the subject.

A Linux kernel module is a derived work of the kernel and under GPL. While ZFS may not be a derived work of Linux, you have to glue it to GPL code. And the GPL license is viral.

Is it possible to glue a kernel module shim to something else under License A, glued to another shim under License B, etc until you have license compatibility with ZFS?

At the very least, this would seem to violate the very spirit of what the GPL intends.
