Anecdotally I know at least three people who gained literacy with computers through their efforts to publish personal web pages so it must be at least somewhat accessible. Incidentally it is not any harder to publish a personal web site with basic HTML than it was 15 years ago, there are just other ways to "publish" online now that are easier.
The Met was build on a city property/building, and since the 1870 its mission has been to provide art and culture free of charge.

Should the Met charge us residents but out of state visitors? eg. people that just live across Hudson (NJ)? How about, lets say the visiting parents of somebody that lives in NYC? How about people that lived here and moved away at some point.

On the other hand, the Met has no alliance for the random foreign tourists that come and visit, so charging them is an easy case.
> Outdo your peers in skill, aesthetics, novelty, materials, scandal.

Fortunately this part is completely optional. There are many very successful conceptual artists with terrible ideas and a complete lack of technical skills (you can tell by looking at their early work). All the hard work of material, skill, and aesthetics gets done by studio assistants.
I need to write a love letter to Flash and how it made every website look like a christmas tree. There was so much life in there, it was a race to dynamism when we didn’t know how to make things dynamic. Now it’s all about flat design and static pages and don’t make the users learn a new UI and use the same CSS framework everybody else is using.
Id like to see worse. Let every patent be stripped from these predators. They also advertise: https://patents.google.com/patent/US7016536 which surely has plenty of prior art in image processing.
There is a movement, called "tilde communities", to bring back personal pages and BBS-like communities. I'm part of http://tilde.town for instance. It's quite remarkable how the simple restriction of community size makes for an entirely different experience than, say, twitter or facebook. Knowing that I will re-encounter the same folks, and that I am not yet their friends (although we are friendly) creates an interesting cultural constraint that feels much more like a small town experience. We talk about cats, fun software ideas, and sex changes. We exchange messages on a local bulletin board. We play text games. It's fun and small, and more meaningful somehow.
Your app is just not big enough. I've worked on projects where this is absolutely required.
The fines would be administered for each day the trial is late. Technically, sponsors have 1 year to post results after the primary completion date stated on ct.gov. This is supposed to be the anticipated date that the last primary outcome measure is collected. Therefore, if a sponsor estimated to collect that final measure on 12/1/2018, they would need to have results registered on ct.gov on 12/1/2019. If they were missing results on 12/2/2019 (and there are no certified delayed results) they'd be fined 10K for that day. Also worth noting that the sponsor would receive a notice that their out of compliance and have 30 days to rectify before a fine is issued.

Stoked you're excited about learning weather modeling! WRF is indeed super duper, duper open source. Scope it out!

Cloudrun's purpose is to run WRF. Most runs are computationally expensive enough that they could take days to run on your home computer. By then, your weather predictions are less relevant.

Because of this, WRF is typically run on supercomputers, but even people with access to these tell us they can be difficult to work with.

The other goal of Cloudrun is to make weather modeling accessible to the layman. It can be a pretty complicated process to run WRF. Let us know how your journey goes!

Although this is misplaced, I'll reply anyway.

There isn't more buzz around the Stratix 10 MX because it's a phantom chip. Intel's December press release clearly states that the chips are available but you can not buy one of these chips today. A blogger did some research and came to the conclusion that the press release claims were simply not true:

https://semiaccurate.com/2017/12/19/intels-claims-fpgas-hbm-...

In contrast, Xilinx released a video of their competing chip working with all channels running at the full 460GB/s on day 1 of silicon bring up:

Perfect, thanks for sharing!

My first one, 1997 I think, had a photo of my face (complete with ‘curtains’ hairstyle) that was an imagemap. Click my ears and you get a page about the music I liked; eyes were movies; forehead was books and so on. Terrible cringeworthy perfection. It was on my university network so long gone now. I doubt I’d recognize the skinny shit in the photo anyway.
>Student loans are either guaranteed by the government

>Ultimately, if the loan is not repaid, and there is no collateral nor assets to seize, it comes out of the assets of the bank

Which bank in this case (since we're talking about government student loans, not private ones…)? Federal Reserve Bank of (NY, St Louis, Cleveland, etc)? Where do they get the money from?

Increasingly more (because seriously how much does yearly tax revenues pay the bill in full?), the government getting private (other central banks/ institutions/very wealthy individuals) buyers to buy their treasury notes/bills at record breaking supply auctions with currency that originated somehow from central banks…

Although the textbook definitions of counterfeiting and debt monetization may differ, I suspect there will be those who will never even question how the two could be perceived to be similar by anyone without dismissing them as completely insane and incapable of logical thought…

And somehow in the midst of this, we loose sight on resource allocation in general…
> The origins of the language don't matter to the point being made, which is that having one's native language adopted by everyone else provides massive benefits in spreading one's culture and values, while weakening and even killing off others.

And that point is irrelevant. Now that everyone is communicating with everyone else, a common language is an inevitability. And that language isn't going to be chosen democratically or designed, it's going to flow from a power dynamic. That's what's going to happen because that's what's always happened. Arguing that it shouldn't happen or is wrong is like arguing against gravity, evolution or any other fact of life.

That doesn't mean that other languages will just go away (just look at how many other languages are alive in some form in the UK, despite English having been dominant there for centuries), it just means that they won't be as ubiquitous as they once were because people will have the option not to learn them.
They should create an authenticated badge on Twitter, if you confirm your identity, you can get one, then users could filter by “authentic badge only” so you’d experience twitter with only vetted, real people. This would greatly reduce trolls imho.
Thank you for reporting the CC issue. We are looking into it.

Also, great to know about your use case! We have been looking into applying this for snowfall prediction for ski resorts, but I wasn't thinking about mountain expeditions in general.

What is the typical forecast time window that is important for your use case? Is it < few days or out to a week?
I haven’t looked into it. Thanks for the heads up. But, at this point, if lawyers are turning me down, idk what the NLRB can do

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I first went to Paris in 2014, and I experienced the same thing. Throngs of people surrounding the Mona Lisa. I was with family that wasn't very receptive to the Louvre experience, so we pretty much "saw the Mona Lisa and got the f* out".

I'm heading back to Paris next month with just my wife, and I plan on spending at least 2 days in the Louvre. I wouldn't say that people ruin art, but what I saw with the Mona Lisa was not very positive.
Cellular providers are already feature-gating users based on whether their crapware is installed on user devices or not. Certain providers are also basing it off of whether or not you bought the phone from them, via the IMEI number. Updates to devices are often different based on the phone's "affiliation." They can easily corral people into using specific firmwares.
I am surprised they aren't considering it for the Zumwalt class.
It is ridiculously disheartening that this sort of thing even has to exist.

It's just taking the money you'd be forced to pay some exploitative patent troll, and giving it (well, probably/hopefully less of it, but still) to an exploitative insurance firm instead.
There's an interesting subculture around the concept of "Quality" which was popularized by Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

If Quality is something intrinsic to the observer/universe pair, learning is maximized along the path of most resonance.

Learning-to-learn tricks can often desensitize you to your "true passion" (this is assuming it exists) because there isn't a coherent narrative that allows your experience and skills to compound in a unique way.

Instead you have a collection of brute-force gained skills to solve problems for other people and by becoming good at this become numb to what "you" uniquely can see as a problem and create unique solutions to.

Analogies may be the exception because they grow, relying on roots and branches. An analogy that doesn't feel ham-fisted is naturally connected to your existing pattern of "you".
I don't think it's official. If you click on the links on that page, you are directed to the official Jeopardy and WOF websites. I suspect that at one time there were quite a few ads on this website. Glad it's still hosted though. I love looking at these sites, brings back a lot of great memories.

For example, when my school first got internet access. It was on two computers in the library. Each class would get scheduled time to come and "surf". You would prepare for your upcoming slot by coming up with a list of urls. I remember wanting to go to the TSN website (Canadian ESPN basically). They would list it during shows and I remember having to watch for a while because I couldn't write it all down at once... http://www.tsn.ca I would get a few characters, then have to wait for the next splash of the url.

According to the OA there's only two years left on the patent. Spacing them out would at least limit the number of small companies targeted.

> focus mainly on 4MB picture frames at the expense of everybody else

That seems like a pretty obvious false dichotomy. More modular architectures would be much more flexible.
> having the world Balkanized

That makes it sound like such a division is something that is happening now, being _done to_ the world, even. Rather, of course, the world _is_ already diverse like that, and what is happening, if anything, is a homogenisation.
> You really think the powers that be will reach a consensus on this issue if we talk about it some more?

Do you really think ignoring the issue or remaining silent will fix the issue? Do you know what happened historically when wealth distribution and societal demands got wildly out of balance? Crime, famine, revolution, war, and death.

has someone tried patenting making money buy being a patent troll? that of course would make one mega patent troll to deal with.
Thanks for your correction. It is quite complete.

I didn't mean it disappeared overnight but, as far as I know, formal education in Latin declined with the fall of the Empire, thus giving preponderance to Vulgar Latin. As a consequence, correct pronunciation diverged from the canon. At the same time, Germanic peoples travelled south bringing with them new dialects.

Anyway, I am not as worried about an eventual hegemony of English as I am about the disregard for the value of other languages.

Portuguese language, for example, was made the official language for matters of law by King Denis in 1290. But Castillian was still the lingua franca of the court for centuries. The then recent creation of the University of Coimbra helped build the formal Portuguese we know today.

I believe that it is always by creating something new, alongside the old, that good things happen. Hoping progress to come by following utopian notions of simplicity, making tabula rasa (oh, Latin, you...) of former culture is a recipe for disaster.
Their gain would be a chance that you pay the fees. Because outside of specific local markets, no small game producer could afford dropping the US market (and possibly US-based delivery systems like Steam, Play, and AppStore) and succeed.
I’ve always wanted a working sample of these, but they’re few and far between.

Yes, we reserve the actual number range which is simpler and avoids errors. I havent come across a standard name for this scheme though. We reserve millions of numbers at a time and it works perfectly, and the batch can easily be adjusted to account for usage factor and potential downtime buffering.

Facebook Reminds Publishers That It Is in Complete Control of Their Livelihood
Isn't "land reform" just a euphemism though? Whereas there is an intrinsic value to stable property laws, there is always a competing trend toward changing the rules of ownership after the fact, in order to optimize for a specific outcome.

For example, abolishing serfdom made your land less valuable if there were no longer people that belonged to it. Or, confiscating monasteries and abbeys, then gifting them to favored nobles is a form of land reform. Similarly creating the conditions that the large manors dissolved later is another form of land reform.

In California, you can look at the title histories that trace back to large ranchos from the Mexican period and before, and look at how ownership changed hands. Most owners were legally entitled to retain ownership, but any number of tricks were used to get them to lose their claims.

The same goes for changes in ownership of water rights, mineral rights, air rights, or new limitations on what types of commercial activity are permitted.

The measures can be beneficial or not, but it seems extremely common for changes in public policy to alter property rights.
If the company was making 35k/yr operating in the US and you sue for 35k one-time fee, do you think they'd do it?

Here's mine: http://users.otenet.gr/~serafeim/old.htm - it's first version was from around 1998 when I was 16 years old so please don't be too judgmental :)

It was just a bunch of static html pages that were uploaded through FTP to my internet provider's space. Funny thing - my internet provider still supports publishing home pages so the page remains active for around 20 years (!) with a bunch of revisions: http://users.otenet.gr/~serafeim/ -- too bad the cgi-bin counter is not working anymore :(
Do you need an appointment or can you just go and visit?
If most or all the small-time operators settle, that doesn't set precedent, though, right? A judge isn't going to look at a future case and say "well, all these other companies settled, so seems like the patent is valid". That would be absurd.
The smoothness of the marquee text is irritating. ;-) On a more serious note (haha), awesome theme. Tempted to think up something to build with it :-D
This is now officially beyond parody.
It's also possible to life off the art alone and skip all marketing. I think ordinary people tend to value classical (i.e. non-abstract) art more - it won't ever go into millions, but people are actually happy to pay a couple grand to hang beautiful/evoking/haunting masterpiece in their living room. Check out Beksinski's art for example [1]. He was your typical artist hermit type that hated self-promotion, and yet he lived off his art for 50 years. This route requires a boatload of talent and hard work though.

This is pretty much my sentiment. Uber is basically a company that has engaged in illegal, unethical, and reckless behavior over and over and over again. Not exactly the type of company I want involved in health care. On the plus side the inevitable HIPPA violations will (hopefully) carry some teeth and maybe force Uber to change finally.
Is a seedbox basically a torrent-focused media server? Probably worth submitting a PR to note this focus in the readme. And yes, I'm joking about the rewritten-in-Rust part. :)

(Sorry, mini-rant incoming...)

Before I get all negative, I'll say that this looks very good for education[1], but I'm really curious about why the word "modern" was used.

POSIX is ancient, is overspecified in very important areas (which, thankfully, many/most implementations ignore/work around), is underspecified in very important areas, holds us to a C-based API/ABI, doesn't even have sane "atomic" file operation semantics, etc. etc.

POSIX is not something to aspire to, IMO. We tolerate it because we have to, AFAICT.

(Rant over. I can only apologize, I just sometimes get a little angry that we're held back technologically because of this nonsense.)

Yeah, agree with a sibling poster. I have a bike, and never ride it. I'm terrified of biking in SF. Good on you for not having my fear ;)
This patent is absurd... selling credits was invented about a day after the concept of money itself. Accounting for those credits in a database was done by the fucking Egyptians. What the heck does this patent actually teach? It teaches absolutely nothing. It goes on for pages describing technology that already existed at the time and for decades prior to 2000. It’s a disgrace and an embarrassment.
Let's brainstorm ways to solve the seeders/leechers problem via cryptocurrency: how much would it cost to encode a complete feature-length film in the bitcoin blockchain? :P
Why in God’s name would they raise salaries 5x just because they earn billions of dollars? Do you really think that’s how it should work?

I own stock in all the FANG companies, I would be beyond pissed if their costs when up 5x or even 2x just because they decided they wanted to overpay employees.

These companies are businesses, they are not a big happy family or a charity. When you work for them, you agree to a price for your services. Go to work, do your thing, and go home. That’s it. An employee does not need to be compensated anymore than what the market is willing to bear, and on average the payout is usually a bit less anyway.
Sadly, suing your employer will also make you unemployable forever. Nobody wants to hire a litigious worker.
Not necessarily. Hiding how much something costs versus what you charge for it, is the secret sauce to making money in Business.
Making it more inefficient? Or making more obvious the inherent inefficiency of the mantra “everyone must have a job to thrive and the economy must always grow”

I rather think the latter. We’ve just now been able to shine light on 60 years of this bullshit social memes real costs

Publishing can work without those things. What's not clear is that journalism can. It is expensive to groom primary sources and investigate stories. I'm quite happy that at least a few organisations seem to have figured out a model by which they can fund such things. Otherwise it would be very difficult for me to know anything true about the world outside my immediate friends and family.

Back in 97 I had a PS1 (then known as PSX) news site on Geocities that had a weekly newsletter with game reviews contributed by other internet randos. I actually got some free games to review from companies. I was too young to think of making a backup when it fizzled out, and I couldn't find it on that Geocities archive site. That made me deeply sad.
>Is a seedbox basically a torrent-focused media server?

No, it's just a box dedicated to "seeding", a server whose purpose is bittorrent.
IMO, thinking of it as coercion is wrong. Rather, many aggregate functions on many databases filter nulls first. For sum there's no difference, but for others (eg. average) there is. I make no particular claim as to whether that's the right choice.
