yeah, the worst kind of reduction in inequality -- stealing the work product legitimately earned by the developer.

I'd say that a "people's revolution" is worse but that's political.

Someone going into your house and stealing all your electronics, and publishing your code also reduces inequality, I suppose you're ok with that?

You wouldn't download a car... the mechanism of IP theft usually isn't taking something tangible, it's duplicating something. If you take my phone, it means I can't use my phone. If you copy my journal, I can still use my journal. They're categorically different.

but in the manufacturing world, there are myriad opportunities to introduce bad variables. It's certainly remarkable that the Chinese company has produced a minimally usable tire, but I wouldn't trust my life to it without a lot more testing

So I hope their IP theft team was good enough. But tires have to pass DOT certification so they meet some minimum standard.

I'm glad to live in a country where I can decide what's right for me and you can decide what's right for you.

But the knife of quality variability cuts both ways, sometimes major manufacturers have issues. The top of the line tires (Pilot Power 3) I recently put on my motorcycle we recalled [0]. Thank goodness they didn't fail on me, but I might have been better served by crappy tires than my defective Pilot Power 3 tires. Unless you have some analytical way to evaluate the specific tires you're putting on your vehicle, you have to take a leap of faith. It's not unlike handmade carbon bicycles - some of them have issues even from the best manufacturer, the quality difference is a measure of degree, not a binary function.

FWIW, this Chinese tire manufacturer also makes FAA certified tires for airplanes so they have demonstrated the capability to make tires for demanding applications.

Nice work, With huge companies picking up AR and VR and making them more mainstream, I think soon we will see more developers in these fields and finally some very useful applications.
It's not an undefensible argument.

What do you think all the stuff about "information wants to be free", Aaron swartz ect is about?

It is about ending intellectual property laws, and all laws that keep information and science and innovation locked up.
At this point, can someone explain me why that company is not taken out of business or _at least_ put under state control to verify they actually fix their issues and stop posing a threat to their customers lives?
Just reading the abstract of that study it sounds like bullshit. Nobody is addicted to a smartphone. People get "addicted" to their social networks, but the social network isn't the smartphone. Take the smartphone, reset it back to factory defaults, and block the ability to install new apps, and you'll find that the "addicts" aren't going to be as interested in it (block the browser too and they probably won't even use it).

And making yourself available to be contacted isn't the same thing as being "addicted" to social networks. You'll notice the study you linked was looking at university students (which itself means its conclusions aren't necessarily applicable to the larger world), people for whom "being connected" means Snapchat and Instagram and other social networks. But for most adults, "being connected" means someone can reach them if necessary, as opposed to sitting there for hours browsing a stream of social network posts.

Personally, I've disengaged from basically all social networks. But I'd still like to "be connected" because people do sometimes contact me directly and I'd like to be available for that, or sometimes I get an important email that I want to handle sooner rather than later. And the only reason I'm not getting the LTE watch is because I always have my phone with me anyway and the LTE isn't worth giving my carrier $120/year.
You mean buying something that Nest will "brick" eventually when they shut down the servers?
> But the most important feature is that DuckDuckGo is the search engine that doesn't track you.

Any evidence to suggest that most people care? Most people just want the best search results, quickly.

Or is this a conscious decision to keep DDG serving a 'niche'.

> and so at DuckDuckGo you are not the product, search is.

Is DuckDuckGo a paid for product then? Users pay to search do they? If it's ad (Or VC) supported, then the user very much IS the product.
The internet is not isolated from the physical world. Some times "the cloud" seems like an ethereal place, but in the end there are servers somewhere with hardware that can break, that needs maintenance and that can be confiscated by the government. Technology doesn't solves political problems, it just makes governments more efficient.
Yes, but are most games mostly static scenes because the tech is limited? Getting a decent looking scene which can be rendered quickly has historically relied on precomputed light maps, light volumes and space partitioning, which massively restrict the sort of game you can make if you want scenes to look nice. If more could be done in realtime, we would see games which were not mostly static scenes.

I compare the situation to the 90s games. Machines did hardware scrolling and were optimised for blitting sprite sets. And so, lo and behold, most games are scrolling shooters and beat em ups. I always felt gpus have put similar constraints on our imaginations, hence most games are mostly static scenes.
Well, we know that AMD at one point did in fact turn someone in to the authorities for attempting to sell them industrial espionage from Intel. I don't think it's as gloomy a picture as you are trying to paint.

Why is GOPATH a good idea? Can you explain it?

I guess the intention is to have all the packages you're using side-by-side (including the one you're working on)? That is not obviously a terrible idea, but as Go has more recently adding vendoring support, it clearly doesn't cover all the use cases.

If I'm using a third-party package, I almost always want to either install it in /usr/local (via Homebrew, say) for minimal hassle or vendor it into my project so the project is standalone. The GOPATH approach -- having external packages as peers of my project -- feels like a pretty distant third (although admittedly I'm not a Go user).

This feedback was given very early on in the development of Go, so the GOPATH behavior could easily have been changed, but clearly the language designers felt it was a good approach. I imagine it's a Plan 9 convention?
None of this early academic education is necessary. In Finland, which consistently has top scores in reading and math, kids don't start school until they're seven, and at that point they're only expected to be able to turn text rightside up.

(And before anybody jumps to the "homogenous society" explanation, Finland used to have mediocre schools before they put a lot of effort and money into them in the 70s and 80s.)
I have one child in preschool and another that just entered second grade. They go to a progressive school that focuses on inquiry based learning, and the most important metric is that they seem engaged and enthusiastic about school every day.

The bigger picture is that not every kid is the same, and that's shaped by the child and also the parents. Our parenting style is a combination of firmness around core behaviors coupled with plenty of freedom beyond that.

It's obvious when interacting with other kids and parents that other people have very different styles. Some of the other things other kids do, like behaving crazily at the dinner table, we would shut down immediately. Other things, like putting their 2nd graders into "Kumon," a kind of cram school with lots of busy-worksheets, we avoid. Check out the messaging and branding here to get some idea: https://www.kumon.com/. Apparently on the first day of Kumon they show kids the logo and tell them that the kid isn't smiling because learning is not fun, it is supposed to be hard work. I found it horrifying that parents felt the need to push their kids into that kind of environment to "keep up".

On the other hand, the progressive school is definitely touchy-feely and there's a sense that there's less structured learning. Fortunately it seems there's a balanced approach as they get into higher grades where progressive units of inquiry are augmented with some book learning. It takes an act of faith to believe that this will ultimately pay off - that they are not "wasting their time" just playing all day. Who wants to gamble with their kid's future?

Outside of school, we try to think "anticipate and encourage" not "force feed".

For example, when we visited friends and our son always gravitated towards playing with the piano, we got him a keyboard and let him play with it at home. Soon enough he was asking "why don't I have a piano teacher?". So we got him one. He generally likes it, and practices largely on his own with just a few reminders.

On the other hand, we took him to play soccer and after two games where he refused to step foot on the green, he insisted "I don't like any games with balls. Except dodgeball." So we didn't force it, but we did have him go to martial arts, which he enjoys. Maybe we'll have him try out socceer or baseball in the future - but only if he shows an interest.

The same goes for reading. We put lots of books in the house and also spend our own time reading physical books, so they can see us. They get curious what we're doing when we're not paying attention to them. While they aren't as advanced as some of the other kids in class, they are enjoying reading every time they pick up a book. And that's all we want.
> You are cherry picking. In social settings where gender roles are pretty strictly enforced, men are actively discouraged from learning to cook. It is "women's work."

Fair enough, I would not advocate for nifty fifties or rural Iraq style forcible/near-forcible gender roles. The extent to which force is involved is the extent to which they are wrong.

If you take force out of the equation, you get a useful mental model; put force in, and you get a repressive system.

> The fact that people are living longer and child mortality rates are down inherently creates social pressure to handle things differently than in the past.

This is definitely true, but it seems this question is already answered for us: people continue to want to have kids at nearly the same rate (after the initial decline), but typically trend toward or below the replacement rate in terms of the typical number of children per household.
And I think that's where legitimate debate comes into play.

Yeah you can accept that others have just as much of a monopoly on truth as you think you do, but if you're not willing to walk over the proverbial coals to assert your experiences & what you believe to be true, then you've lost some agency over your own worldview.

Although I will agree that people need to see topics from more perspectives than they seem to, traditionally--I don't agree with letting down your guard without reason to. There are too many people and groups out in the world actively trying to get a free lunch by pulling the wool over your eyes.
I am really surprised at how fast its UI loads and operates. It feels like a native app in a web where everything else feels like a slug. Major props to Fastmail for this. Hell, even Thunderbird feels slower.

I don't doubt the US was happy to go to war (and do doubt Bin Laden would have gone quietly if the Taliban had said "you're welcome to come and arrest him") but it's something of a stretch to imagine Afghanistan only wanted to "see some proof" even if that was one of their stated positions.

The Taliban had spent the last three years refusing multiple countries' requests to extradite Bin Laden for other bombings and was lead by a man married to one of Bin Laden's daughters who compared the notion of handing over Bin Laden as a betrayal akin to the "end of Islam"
Windows Subsystem for Linux is good, but not enough yet
You can find a link to the whole book here: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~venkatg/teaching/CStheory-infoage/

The appendix has the material the book depends on.

The course description includes this: "The course is cross-listed as a joint undergraduate/graduate course. The course will be fast paced and theoretical, so mathematical maturity and comfort with material in 15-251 and basic algorithms is required. The suggested prerequisites are 15-251 [0] and 15-451 [1]. (In exceptional cases, if you haven't taken these courses at CMU but feel that you have the required mathematical background and would like to try this course, you may sign-up for the course after the obtaining the instructors' permission.) Students who have taken 15-359 and enjoyed it are particularly encouraged to consider taking this course. The overlap with 15-359 will be small, so doing both courses in parallel is also encouraged."

It's very difficult to get contributors asking for contributors. You needs users. Some users will become power users. Some power users will become fans. Some fans will become contributors.

Most people don't contribute substantially to a project that they don't use. You need more users.

Try writing a nice blog post about the project. I prefer that it's about an interesting detail in he project. Generic post are usually not interesting. Some ideas:

* What is the main difference between this and MSWord/Eclipse/vi/emacs? Is this different important in the code? How did you solved it?

* Does your editor has a weird feature that has an interesting story?

* What was the last bottleneck that you have fixed? How did you discover that it was a problem? Benchmakrs?

* Do you support international characters/Unicode? Was it easy or you have problems with it?
Or France/Germany/Switzerland. Never Slovenia, Belarus, Montenegro, or Moldova.
From what has been seen, all Chromebooks (from Google and other vendors)run the open source "Coreboot" BIOS, which they allow to be user-flashable

Beyond that, they seem to mandate a strict policy of no binary blobs, and code seems to get merged into the mainline kernel pretty quickly

My Chromebook 13 worked OOTB with Linux after I flashed the BIOS. The only piece of hardware that didn't work was the keyboard backlight control, which was added in Kernel 4.9

Yeah, I often wonder how what Google is doing can really be so much better that it justifies leaking billions of users' information all over the place and the massive infrastructure costs that they must have.
Every single working day.

We don't put classified data in the hands of third parties and Google Docs just doesn't support the features our users rely on.

Doesn't look like that because exchange rate fluctuation was about 5%. I think it was some human factor issue - "hey, look at this screamingly insecure transaction for a large sum of money, it can't be right". The chargeback was initiated on my behalf, but they don't have any records of me requesting it. Basically, their response is something like "yes, we screwed up, but at least we screwed up in your favor, why should you worry".
At one of my previous jobs we had two employees who decided to strike out on their own. While still employed, they secretly started e-mailing our customers with offers, from their company e-mail accounts. They were of course quickly discovered (after a customer asked our boss about weird offers they were receiving) and fired. I know OPSEC is hard, but sometimes the stupidity you see is beyond imagination...

Wow, op, please take a step back and relax. Every American spends 10+ years in a classroom, sitting at a desk for 6+ hours a day (post-kindergarten). Man's natural desire has yet to see this inevitable destruction. I thought the article was a bit fear monger-y, but you've stepped us up to pure clickbait.

Conversion Rate in WordPress
Hi, everyone! My name is Alina. It's been a while since I was hired by ThemeFuse.com to optimize their website that sells Premium WordPress Themes. All good till some months ago. Our sales started to decrease. I can't understand why. I'm open for any advice on how to optimize the conversion rate for a WP Themes Shop or, in general, that's wrong with our website. Or, that's wrong with this industry. I'm quite in a panic now.
The intent is to provide users of the software with full confidence that by using the software, they will not be held liable for infringing on the patents that the authors of and contributors to the software might hold on the software.

Other licenses, like Apache, include patent grant withdrawal clauses, where you can lose the right to use the patent if you initiate a lawsuit.

The notorious Facebook BSD+PATENTS license includes a similar withdrawal of patent grant, but for any Facebook patent, not just something related to the software in question, and also only if you sue Facebook or a subsidiary — the Apache withdrawal applies to "any entity".

Here, there are no withdrawal provisions, hopefully giving you that full confidence as a user. As an author, if you have a patent on something, and then you release an open source project under LIL that uses that patent, you give up the right to sue anyone for infringing on your patent by using your open source project, period.

I think that's more in the spirit of open source.

The idea is that you can get alerts and view the photos/videos remotely when you're not at home. For example, when you're at work or on vacation.

Well, the .io domain name is intended for the British Indian Ocean territory.

I think the common practice of misusing TLDs (such as registering an .io domain if you are not from the British Indian Ocean territory, or having a Soviet Union domain... a country that no longer exist), is bad.

However, I acknowledge this is not the root problem. The root problem is the scarcity of domains under traditional TLDs, and that's in great part due to speculation (e.g: domain parking). It is hard to establish what constitutes
placeholder content, therefore rules preventing domain parking are hard if not unfeasible to forbid.
> Apologies for the pedantry, but doesn't that make half the world a mistake?

If we take that statement literally, then yes. But it seems to be enough if there is one area in which you are better than average. That being said, there would still be loads of people who'd be a "mistake". I am afraid this is in fact how many people receive reality. This is probably one of the reasons why we discuss UBI so much lately.
If you want to follow this idea further, I highly recommend Scott's "Seeing Like a State." It's an analysis of how states exert power by imposing legibility--insisting on having access and to measuring in certain ways. His thesis is that this legibility is actively corrosive to other properties that don't show up in the measurement. The book starts with an account of how 19th C European forestry managers imposed legibility on their forests in terms of lumber production, and ended up killing off everything but a monocrop, which then collapsed. Eventually he gets around to education, where it's pretty clear there are big externalities to the way we insist on measuring what happens in school. There are broader lessons here for the technocratically-inclined.
I don't consider it better, I consider it an additional barrier to attacking the production systems. Everyone authorised to access the servers (prod or non-prod) has to have an SSH key, protected by passphrase, to access the servers. This in addition to the requirement that they are either in the office or logged into the VPN means that any attacks have to come via that funnel.

Attackers who are not specifically targeting the company are unlikely to bother or to have the skills necessary. It's too much hassle and attackers scanning around for a random victim don't even see that the ports are open since they're behind a firewall.

So, it's not about this protocol vs that protocol for authentication, there certainly shouldn't be open access just because you got past the VPN auth, it's about layering your security to shrink the surface area and make it simpler to identify the entry points.
Check it now.
