It was a fun time! I got to find out that if your local cable company responds with "huh?" when you ask for a cable box with an active firewire port (just for reliable channel changing, I was never able to get video) and then call the state utilities commission when they refuse... you get a call from the actual owner of the local Time Warner franchise confused out of his mind! That was fun... he called saying "you were asking about whether our cable boxes were fireproof?" so I got to explain what Firewire was, that they were legally obligated to provide a box with an active port if I requested one under such-and-such FCC regulation, etc. They eventually figured out what checkbox on my account to tick and I got it.

TED Talk: Can we build a global Hive Mind?
I, myself, was diagnosed with RR Multiple Sclerosis, with multiple dem. lesions in both brain and spinal cord, ON, delayed evoked potentials, 4 years ago. Completely reversed the condition with long term antibiotics and anti-helmintics, no evidence of MS currently. So my advice might be biased, sorry. As I said, there is no harm in examining this perspective. I didn't advocate for treatment, but for testing.

Seriously though. Omitting this detail seems strange; providing an actual compiler seems like such an obvious thing to do -

1. In the browser, even if you can't allow raw machine code (for security reasons), you could at least compile your V8 bytecode into LLVM IR and then into WebAssembly. It would make front end code way faster running (b/c of compiler optimizations on the ENTIRE code base) and loading (smaller sizes, probably).
2. On the back end, you can compile straight to machine code instead of V8 compiling stuff at runtime. It would certainly be faster, as that compilation is happening in advance versus at runtime.

There has to be some reason why this isn't being done. Perhaps the information at runtime is required, and a proper compiler would be too slow? Maybe there would be no major performance benefit? I could be wrong about the above two ideas. The V8 team has a ton of really smart people, so I can't imagine they haven't already considered this.
Looking for a backend that allow to have a decent REPL and posibility to also compile (ie be both a interpreter + compiler).

I'm on .net right now, and have found a way to have this. Just imagine that lisp could help there...

Out of curiousity when someone says "awesome for web development" I would generally expect Python or Ruby to be in the following sentence. Maybe even js/node (if that's your cup of tea).

> DRM makes it hard for 99% of the people

Does it though? I mean, there are already non-drm versions available, and have been "forever". Yet 99% of people still choose netflix because it's easier. Even the 1% choose netflix because it is easier.

How does restricting the delivery of legitimate/legal content impact the way that people consume illegitimate/illegal content?

I also don't see it changing, but it seems like it will have /obviously/ literally zero impact on the availability of pirated content, and how/if people use pirated content.
I've got the browser sandboxed... and adblocked... and ScriptSafe'd and sometimes HTML5-blocked... so maybe that has something to do with it too! Will test it again with all that stuff turned off.
Long ago? TODAY i can't pay my credit card balance, which is simply another account in my own bank, in less than 2 business days!

I log on their site, i see both accounts under my login, i just transfer money from one to another. Two. Business. Days.

It is probably the maximum amount of time they can get away with. Because there is an obvious benefit for the bank to delay. They can use your money as their security longer. They can charge you late fees. etc.
I've recently watched a ton of Ted talks on the subject (thank you, autoplay), so you can call me a proper internet know-it-all. The consensus seems to be: nobody knows, but the SAD certainly is not the right answer. As diverse as you can get and as little processed as you stand seem to be popular ideas too. Dropping sugar and milk seem commonly recommended, but they can pry my ice-cream from my cold, dead fingers.
> If you can point to one example of a website that implements DRM that otherwise wouldn't have, I'll buy this argument.

The argument that some companies will avoid things their customers hate seems illogical, but you'll believe me if I provide an anecdote?

> On the other side, I can point to many websites that removed Flash/Silverlight/other security nightmare plugins after implementing EME.

Which is irrelevant because it has had a long known solution: Only install terrible plugins in a virtual machine, or if you're paranoid on a separate physical machine (a used PC capable of playing HD video is <$50), and only use that machine for that purpose.

And yes, that is an inconvenience, which is a feature, because DRM should be as inconvenient as possible. So that fewer people will use it.
I really miss the keyboard layout of my T410. It's good news that the retro Thinkpad has the same layout, hopefully it will be popular enough that the main product lines go back to having the separate cluster of Delete,Insert,Home,End,PgDn and PgUp that I miss so much.
There have been a few studies on probiotics. Besides that I think not much is known scientifically.

But I think the best way is to realize you are free to experiment with your diet - with careful tracking of your diet, you may be able to find certain foods that work great or certain foods that make you feel worse etc. You can run an "n of 1" experiment on yourself and see what works. No need to wait for a study/evidence because its not coming anytime soon.
> I think that, with killer features like breaking out of DRM, the market share could change.

That's not a killer feature to the market: I bet 99/100 people don't know what DRM is or what it stands for. They just care that they can watch videos or not.

For better or the worse the overwhelming majority of browser users don't know, care, or have any idea about how the internet is standardized, how DRM works, and why it matters to them.
The part where they skim millions in "management fees" to take it private, and then leave it floundering under so much debt that it dies?
Ah ok, signoff then.
Agreed. I trust the guy who runs uBlock Origin over AdBlock Plus not for any great reason, but because I vaguely remember people on this site recommending it.

I imagine people could delegate moderation responsibility to people and organizations with a strong reputation. Let's say GNU, EFF, and Larry Lessig would all publish moderation data and metadata; as well as your "friends" on various social media sites, friends-of-friends, etc.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the problem hasn't been solved because the incivility still exists. I don't believe these tools do fix the symptoms, only hide them.
> But I would care very much if, for example, my bank's website started requiring a DRM-capable browser.

That already is the case for banks which use gbplugin. You have to use that closed-source component, or the online banking website won't even let you login. And it's invasive; I have seen reports of it slowing down the whole computer, conflicting with a Windows update (http://www.linhadefensiva.org/2013/04/teste-mostra-incompati...), and disabling IPv6 (http://ipv6.br/post/bug-em-plugin-de-seguranca-de-bancos-blo...). For a while, it wasn't even available for Linux, so you had to use Windows.
Are there non-cynical explanations of how someone with such a terrible track record gets hired? Maybe a dearth of alternative CEOs? Or is the reality as bad as it appears?
DUPE: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15269097
Yeah, maybe.

But I think it's still a possibility. Never underestimate companies that want to "innovate".

I mean, standardizing a DRM API on browsers is probably going to bring us a lot of new "tools" which people will try to use for a lot of different things, and I can very easily imagine they will explore the possibility of paywalls and such.

Not saying you are wrong, just saying that sometimes layers don't seem to be as separate as we engineers would like them to be.

I think those things have a lot of value but quite a challenge for the kind of person who struggles with addiction to make the leap to having the kind of mindset that would benefit from them.
Well, this is disappointing. I really like Hack and I was hoping it would take off, but judging from this thread it seems unlikely the language is going anywhere worth following. I guess it's lucky that I only have one project written in it...that I now have to convert back to PHP.

Making such claims lightly is (excuse my language) being a fucking asshole.

(I know, harsh words. But I needed to get this off my chest)

Taking this out on someone with carefully worded suggestions that only advocate testing is also "being a fucking asshole." Because very frequently the people putting out such info are giving testimony from firsthand experience because they know firsthand what a fucking nightmare it is and if they got better, it only seems the decent thing to do to share info that might help some people with the same diagnosis they had. And then they will run into this kind of ugliness ten thousand times, no matter how carefully they word it.

We published the article with the firm belief that it was accurate. Given all of these reports, however, we have come to the conclusion that we were mistaken in honoring Jackie's request to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account. In trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault, we made a judgment – the kind of judgment reporters and editors make every day. We should have not made this agreement with Jackie and we should have worked harder to convince her that the truth would have been better served by getting the other side of the story. These mistakes are on Rolling Stone, not on Jackie. We apologize to anyone who was affected by the story and we will continue to investigate the events of that evening.

ABCL is a full implementation of Common Lisp (an ANSI-standarized language rich on features and with a proven record of success stories) that happens to run in the JVM and has good facilities for calling Java code. However it is a full Common Lisp implementation which means it has all the nice stuff you would expect from such a piece of software.

Clojure, on the other hand, is a different programming language, which for some reasons, and by design, is deeply tied to the underlying Java platform. Clojure "looks like a Lisp", but in reality it is fundamentally different from languages "of the Lisp family" like Scheme, Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp.

There are many, many differences between Clojure and Common Lisp. For a HN thread on this topic, see:

The only time you even consider thinking about money is for prescriptions and dental treatment and those are fixed price and subsidised and many exemption exist. A trip to A&E never involves money.

The only thing you might get after the event is follow up appointments.

A very quick run down on how we pay for all this: All employees (its a little more complicated for the self employed) have tax deducted at source, called Pay As You Earn (PAYE). There are two components: Income Tax - banded according to income and National Insurance (NI) - also banded. The NI contribution is generally to cover the NHS and Social Security, State Pension etc. Class One NI rates: https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance/how-much-you-pay so 12% up to £45,000 gross salary and 2% above that. Most people in the UK do not need to worry about filling in a tax return.

"... And by the way you can't use the streaming services you pay for."
That's the wrong question. W3C itself is relatively tiny, and has fairly ordinary (albeit well tuned) software/server infrastructure. Reproducing the legal framework would be more of a pain, but even that could probably be done. But W3C is mostly its member companies, and the're not switching, since the majority of them, including all browsers, were in favor of this. So if all existing specifications continue to reside on W3C's web site, and all new specifications continue to be produced (by member companies) in the same place, there's not meaningful forking possible.

If members are disgruntled, you can fork. That's happened before when there was disagreement about what to do with HTML, and it led to the creation of the WHATWG.

By and large, members this time are supportive. Not all, mind you, but all the large players.
IMPORTANT: The date of disclosure is ALSO the date that demand for hacked data explodes.

It's good practice to have a staged-disclosure procedure for leaks of this nature.

An interesting choice of example because recipes are one of the best defined and used micro formats on schema.org and used practically by google (which encourages adoption).
