This is a great concern, and glad you brought it up.

In ETNs (the new family of programming languages I'm talking about), there are no "whitespace changes", in the sense that all changes to the code affect actual nodes in the program.

This is a really important property that embeds diffs with a whole lot more meaning. You can not only see the number of lines changed, but also the number of nodes changed. If you expected a change to only change content and not change any nodes, and you saw in a negative number in the nodes changed field, you would know immediately that something had gone wrong.

This is one of the many new beneficial properties unique to these languages.
I'm having a hard time seeing the outrage, here. Paket seems like a neat thing, and supporting other package managers is well and good, but why does that have to be done on the nuget.org web page? That just seems like it would open that team up to dealing with complaints from people who tried that command and had problems with it. I note that there's not directions on setting up nuget on the paket page.
Well, I guess that I've learned that Larry Page has a ranch where they test self driving automobiles.
A couple of years ago, we tried literally giving some five to seven year-olds a computer science lecture (because we also wanted them to be able to play at being uni students, sitting in the big lecture theatre)

Used a deliberately home made looking game that looked like Angry Birds (using a child's sketches of the birds) and exposed a few lines of code that the children could tell me how to edit. Worked really well, but it's partly like thinking about putting on a small stage show

I may have taken one more probability class than you, but the expected value for a woman's taxes over her life is 0. There is no such thing as "the average woman", so whatever point you are trying to make is entirely lost.

There's an effect here that this article doesn't mention and that most don't mention.

Large scale innovation happens in one of two ways: a strong industry leader, or via government. The latter is relatively rare because government is necessarily usually more conservative; the former happens more easily, especially because industry leaders often are either formed or maintained because a private venture was able to move fast enough to develop a technology in a way that has large societal implications.

The side effect, though, is that people who work at those private industries that have innovated and developer something new (which may or may not have short term deleterious effects) eventually leave and either diffuse their knowledge or start their own ventures. When this happens, as time passes, many other new ventures - which can often have an effect directly opposite to said deleterious effects, or otherwise have positive effects - spring up and take hold. And that's a net positive.

There are people who worked at (or currently work at and will leave) Google and Facebook, advertising companies that have disproportionately much power, but will use the knowledge they gained from those places to put into effects efforts that they might not have known how to otherwise and that may make the world better, long term.

Articles like the one posted here are passionate and persuasive, but they also focus on the short term (if not solely the present); it is worthwhile to remember these sorts of long term effects.
They also meant concluding.
Not surprising to me.

A family member just had a stroke... the entire system is designed around maximizing billing. If someone is in a longer term situation and a Alzheimer's diagnosis makes a buck, you'll get that diagnosis.

Never mind the mental condition is probably a result of the institutional environment and drugs.

This should frequently intersect with keyframes for decent/VBR encoded video, if I'm not mistaken.
It's likely that Larry didn't want to be there but I wouldn't infer that from answers like this. This is exactly what you are taught to do before giving a deposition. You can't win in a deposition, you can only lose. The more information you give the other party the more you lose. So when they ask a question you are taught to answer precisely what they asked and no more.

This is pretty unlike regular life. As an engineer if someone asked me "Hey, in order to get the widget-spinner to go clockwise do I call function X?" I might answer "No, what you need to do is set variable X to true." (or whatever). In a deposition the correct answer would just be "no."

I was in a patent troll deposition once and the opposing attorney kept dancing around moderately close to the interesting stuff but never really got there due to the fact that he didn't really know what he was doing. It was kind of fun just saying "no" over and over again without giving him any additional context or help. Weird though. It's not how humans normally communicate.
I find it pretty readable.
I don't have a Soundcloud account (i.e. I'm not logged in) and don't use it other than seeing it as an embed player, but I don't see a volume control on the embed version. I did just now notice it on the dedicated page (on the very bottom):

http://i.imgur.com/Vj9YKC6.jpg

https://www.propublica.org/podcast/item/how-a-reporter-pierc...

The OP forum post seems to be complaining about the embed version:

> *I'm not sure if this is a bug or just major oversight, but I can't seem to find the volume control on the web player. When I open a site that has your player, I tend to have to close it quickly while I gather myself and turn the volume down on my PC.

Now that I see that the complaint seems to be about the embed version, I can see there's more of a tradeoff due to the embed version's tighter real estate.
If you currently hold bitcoins which you mined, then they are a highly liquid assets because tomorrow you could flee the country and still have this wealth go with you. now I don't think most people think that they need to flee the country any time soon, but either way, it ISN'T the same thing as diversifying your non-crypto assets.

I am merely trying to explain to whomsoever wants to know why these people won't sell their crypto even to diversification, please don't start yelling at me.
Why don't we focus on teaching critical thinking and making kids comfortable with abstract concepts? Do we need to call it programming and overwhelm those around us. These are skills that translate to most of life's situations and decision making. when I started programming my biggest obstacle was the fear of seeing error codes.

As someone else helpfully mentioned,

> Freenode is registered as a "private company limited by guarantee without share capital" performing "activities of other membership organisations not elsewhere classified", with Christel and Andrew Lee (PIA's founder) as officers, and Andrew Lee having the majority of voting rights. Any profits are not to be distributed under their articles of association, making it a not-for-profit company.

This means that Andrew Lee has lone control over freenode, holding the majority of voting rights. That's all I need to know to see that this is not him just funding projects, but actually about getting power in them.

If it was just about funding them, he wouldn't have to hold majority voting rights, and could just drop funding if they start doing something he disagrees with.

In general, this is a single person buying up power over major parts of the FLOSS scene, and that's not a behaviour that we should condone, or support.
The article makes it sound like it's not clear that is the issue. By the end it makes it sound like they really want to say it's pesticides, but the farming industry relies on that so much for "good looking" food that perhaps beekeepers are worried that if they point at that, farmers will be angry with them.

EDIT: to be clear, I'm talking about what was written in this article. I know nothing about the past mite issues in feral bee populations. Not debating that.
"Third world" enrollments might not be a valid comparison as STEM is seen as a road to riches. A valid comparison would be a country where women have the privilege of choosing to not seek money.
Am I the only one who thinks this speculation on Zuck running for pres is all nonsense? There's been a revolving door between Dem staff and elite tech industry positions since Obama. No one thought Larry Page or Sergey Brin was going into politics then.

> I remember thinking that math classes would be far more interesting if we were allowed to hand in a program to solve the class of problems they were asking us to manually and repeatedly solve, and to bring that program to the exam

With programmable graphing calculator that's sorta possible. At least, I've done it a few times.

Alas, it was most often banned from exams because "I can't see what you have done there to get that answer".

Also, most of the class ended up using my program for a specific class of problems we had to do in maths. In retrospect, I probably caused some harm by getting my classmates to be that lazy during exams.
I'm actually surprised that it's as low as 50% of unicorns playing these valuation games.
not even slightly surprised someone piped in with "tech is far less racist and sexist" than I think it is. Being less of that than I think it is would get an afirmative, supportive response, rather than the knee-jerk denial I have come to expect.
Yeah it does, you just have to have USD "tokens" on the network (ie, an ico whose tokens are backed by dollars). Then you can exchange directly through the built in decentralized exchange.
Agreed, automation can take far more time than it saves. Especially in very early stages, when you don't even know which features are used often. Something like payment is a given, but not other things.
So, I built a Hackintosh recently, and in researching software recommendations, one thing stood out: even die-hard Apple fans had to admit that PCs were catching up (or, maybe more honestly, in a lot of ways Apple is losing momentum).

Windows 10 has come a long way from its roots. Windows laptops are getting remarkably good (the latest line of Dell and HP laptops are excellent, and Lenovo always stands out). And the smartphone gap has been rapidly closing for years, both the hardware and software. I think you can lay this at the feet of Apple elevating customer expectations.

Meanwhile, Apple hardware refreshes have been lackluster at best, particularly in the pro category. The OS doesn't feel like it has the edge it once had. And top notch software exclusives are increasingly rare as software goes cross platform or moves to the web.

Now, by all accounts Apple's support is still some of the best in the business. And the overall platform integration across devices is excellent. So a lot of the benefits you cite are still present.

But you have to wonder how long that'll last...
What part do you consider bannable?

That I protest against a single person buying up control over major parts of the FLOSS community, and centralizing power?

Or that I use editing as a workaround for a bug in HN, where in some situations deleting comments becomes impossible?
And it's not "slap on the wrist years" like 1 year. These things carry penalties of 10, 15, 20 years. That's an entire life, for what?

America is a country that enjoys persecuting people. Even better if they "deserve" it. A country once built on second, third, fourth chances, has now dedicated itself to the proposition that the tiniest mistake should destroy your entire life.

I am pleased to see that sometimes, we take a micro-step back the other direction. But I have seen no indication that the swing will ever go the other way. How could it? What lawmaker would ever advocate being softer on crime? What company would encourage what is "illegal"? And when the entire conversation is controlled by those who will never encourage those points of view because it would be unpopular, your average American will never have the conversation on any other terms either.
Not Google, but side business related. I once worked with a person that built and sold computers on the side. He fielded customer support calls from his desk. He was let go shortly thereafter. The new guy did have to answer his customer support calls, though.
Some states allow for reduction of felonies to misdemeanor offenses after a specific amount of time has passed without re-offending. Many background checks don't reveal misdemeanors.
> humans are splitting up stronger hives into weaker hives

That's not really an accurate way of describing beekeeping procedure. Yes hives are split, but that's how hives reproduce in nature. "Weaker" hives just start smaller and grow.

Not that CCD isn't worth looking into, but it's not like the average hive comes out weaker.
Why is this specific conspiracy attacked so hard by literally everyone in a position to silence it. Hm... really activates my almonds. http://i.imgur.com/RWTYTk2.jpg
The problem is that a VC doesn't care how much value a product provides to society. It only cares how much value it can extract for itself.
Or, bitcoin cash will crash before lawsuits are filed and people stop worrying about their missing 0.1%.

Seems somewhat unlikely after the surprisingly high rates BCH has been trading in past 36 hours (currently at ~16%), but wanted to point out the third possibility.
Hive splitting is quite a natural process. New "weak" hives quickly become "strong" hives. A single queen bee can lay hundreds and even thousands of eggs per day. During late spring, hive population doubles every few weeks.

I would advise against implementing a custom cache for piece data. Caching file data in-app is counterproductive because it wastes memory duplicating data which the OS already holds in its page cache. Instead memory mapped I/O should be preferred.
> Larry Page did not want to answer anything.

That's how you do a deposition. I don't know how many depositions Page has had to do over the years, but it's not his first rodeo. Depositions aren't just used as fact-finding (and in a case like this most of the facts are already known) - they're used to force the deposed party into either lying or omitting something they later rely on in order to discredit their eventual testimony.

For example, the question "do you recall when" seems simple enough, but let's say I mistakenly mix up the year in my deposition. "How can he be trusted", the defense will say, "if he can't remember basic facts like when the company was bought?".

> "secular" violations are always based on a shared moral code, no different than religions

The difference is whether citizens acknowledge the fact that morals are man made or not. All morals are man made, just like religions.

Using a "divine" authority to deny others the right to contest morals is what separate religion from secularism.
Also, existing employees at the company will see what the new hires will be earning.

This might be less than they are getting at the moment for the same job, leading to demands for increased pay.
I share some of your frustration about the irrational preference for "natural" things. Too often these attitudes result in the rejection of critical advances like GMOs and vaccines.

But I also have to preach some caution about meddling with human genetics. At this point we have what I think you can agree is a relatively poor understanding of the potential consequences of splicing DNA in a human zygote. Crashing headlong into an age of careless modifications could be disastrous for the survival of the species.

I just finished reading the Firefall duology by Peter Watts (http://rifters.com/) and one of the themes in the second book is that "baseline" humans are in some ways hardier than modified transhumans. Natural selection has fixed a lot of the bugs in us baselines over millions of years, and that's a hard-won legacy that we shouldn't be too quick to discard for barely-understood alterations.

It's not very decentralized. According to https://cash.coin.dance/blocks ten of the 16 blocks so far on this fork have been mined by "Genesis Block 269-273 Hennessy Road Wan Chai Hong Kong", 3 have been mined by ViaBTC, and only 3 by someone else. These two pools together have around 80% of the hash rate on this fork.
> He broke the law.

Which law?

> Not just that, but he did it publically, SELLING HIS ILLEGAL PRODUCTS.

What was he selling? The site looks like a free listing of other people's plugins for Kodi, hosted on other sites (github and the official Kodi add-ons repo, for the 5 add-ons that I looked at).

It looks like he's got ads up, and links to zips containing XMLs written by 3rd parties, that presumably provide the metadata to eventually reach some streamed audio/video/whatever. Calling it "selling his illegal products" is more than a stretch.

> 1) not piss off people with lots of money while breaking the law

Might as well drop "while breaking the law". Things won't end well if you piss of people with a lot of money legally either.

Would you say that people who have been through what you have, generally change for the better? Or for worse?

I think sites like 70MillionJobs are dedicated to the proposition that they change for the better. Do you agree?

I firmly believe people change. Sorry, I know they do. And regardless of the nature of the change, it is fair to say that 10 years on, most people are not who they were before. Beyond about that mark, any prison sentence is nothing more than vengeance.
A translation of 47 startup one-liners
Your code, coming from an organization that is sufficiently funded and therefore more likely to be maintain it in the future, is significantly more valuable than the identical code coming from a less funded organization with murkier future prospects. "Maintenance security", "peace of mind", "de-risking adoption for users", "ongoing delivery of feature development", or however you want to phrase it, is a product that you could choose to sell. patio11 is just telling you the language that businesses and their accountants speak - documentable expenses = YES, donations = NO.
Yes its easy, but ... in my experience, very early customers usually get special pricing, terms, and support. IMO its not worth the time to configure plans, pricing pages, and glue code that you'll probably change later. An invoice tool/service that uses Stripe or PayPal would be fine.

Also, if people can sign-up with stripe online they're also going to expect to be able to cancel, view billing history, and print invoices online. That stuff takes a little more work.

Some of this is dependent on OP's actual product, target market, and pricing. I think its better to start with a high-touch approach. Act as their account manager, hand-hold them through the onboarding process, let them know they can contact you for anything from billing to tech support.
I'm sorry you have dealt with/are dealing with anything like that.

>B) Affirming their fundamental innocence is a better marketing strategy than suggesting to employers "your firm is already full of wolves in sheep's clothing, so might as well hire more wolves."

Again I'll admit I framed it poorly, but Please reread:

>this is my background, this is what I learned and this is my vision of my own future.

I did give an example where guilt was admitted, But the original advice really is more along the lines of: I was charged with "x", I learned this thru the experience and as a result I want to do y with my future and that's why I am here. None of that is intended to address guilt, innocence or facts just the objective fact there is a record. For example, I don't even volunteer a positive outcome such as the state dropping the charges unless expressly asked, and I'll admit maybe that is a marketing mistake on my part.
I really love that you shared your story.

This also explains where the "missing" (negative) value actually exists: in non-tradable BCC.

This is pretty funny though - it turns out that you don't need to control 50% of the mining pool to mess with it - you only need enough to start a half-credible fork that presents BTC holders with enough paper-losses to make them angry and potentially expose exchanges to lawsuits.
I wouldn't even call these complex mechanics - TFA basically says more favorable terms in later rounds (liquidations preferences, etc) mean that the high share price in those rounds shouldn't be used as the price for all outstanding shares. This is a great point that I hadn't really thought about before, but I would also expect people smarter than me to bake into their valuations.
Oh boy.

>Apple's entire business model is centered around filling our landfills with their devices that become unusable with their latest version of iOS.

Let's review - what devices run on iOS 10 - devices made during the past 5 years (iPhone 5 came out in 2012).

Of course, Apple still supports devices way farther back than then.

You're a big fat hypocrite if you're entire argument is that it's Apple's fault. But I guess talking about Android makers doesn't get the up votes.
