My take is that it comes down to 'Unix philosphy'.[1] Bitbucket became part of Atlassian's product line fairly early in it's life. While it stands alone, it is not Atlassian's primary profit center...hence the unlimited private repositories for free[2] because aggressive pursuit of monetization is not necessary. Github on the other hand, is more of an "only does one thing" company and devotes more resources to the source control UX and features[3].

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy, not that's objectively better, just that in this case it seems to provide an advantage.

[2]: When I signed up several years ago, I think it was only five private repositories...and Mercurial was favored over Git in the signup process. But free private repositories was why I chose Bitbucket over Github. I was using it for Coursera assignments.

[3]: Github versus Bitbucket may also be explained by Zawinski's Law: The yang to it's Unix philosophy yin. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/Z/Zawinskis-Law.html
In print media this made sense because you saw the entire article and these quotes would be picked out. Then upon reading the article you then read the quotes in context. On the web they usually appear directly before or after the sentence and make no sense to include. Especially when you take into account mobile users where there is usually no
space between these quotes appearing and their use in the article.
Well, I believe you that you didn't intend that message. But I think the way you put it still reveals how you think/thought about it, and you are almost certainly not alone with that, that seems to be an expression of a sort-of societal consensus--which is actually why I found it disturbing. Noone would ever even get the idea of putting murder into the "cyber crime" category, but somehow that seems to be a natural thing to do for sexual child abuse for many people.
The claim that the contemporary analytic tradition has "rejected the very idea of human nature" is a little strange, given the emphasis that many in the tradition place on rational capacity or rationality[1] being the distinguishing and essential characteristic of humanity.

Many analyticists might have a generally deflationary view of human nature, but outright skepticism towards it is not dominant.

Even Locke, who the authors mention for his tabula rasa, thought that children were born rational and had to be reasoned with (instead of trained or dictated to, as Rousseau suggests in Emile).

[1]: These being not dissimilar to Aristotle's claim that reasoning is man's function, and that man's virtue is reasoning well.
Ah, cool. Thanks for the explanation.
This is awesome; thanks! However, several future-tense forms of ocurrir are blank.
Gary Hamel has been very effective in calling out the emperor's lack of clothes in business 'education' for years - I was at an event in 2009 when he went on an epic rant after the banking 'crisis'.

https://www.london.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty/profiles...

Ironically both Mr Parker and Mr Hamel are being paid well for teaching at the institutions they despise.

I see an analogy with the vast 'San Francisco Academy of Art University', now the largest property owner in San Francisco. It's a highly successful business teaching all sorts of art courses, but a common criticism is that it's a mill, taking young people's money to 'learn art' in an expensive, beautiful city.
The fact it is there is demand and it's hugely profitable, just like BSchool. Doesn't mean you are a good businessman or artist at the end of it - I believe like Drucker you have to learn as a trade in context not as a theory - but highly successful businesses cater to demand...
Did you read the preface? It is a direct follow-up to that post written by one of the people that inspired it in the first place. The post goes through some parts in a bit more depth than what the previous post you are referring to did.

But yes, the author has a very similar approach to the problem.

I've written poetry that I like but I've _never_ ready any. There are a lot of song lyrics I like, a lot, for their construction over their meaning.

I have a baseless conviction though that it's a combination of 1. unavailability and 2. pop tastes.

On 1: If I spent 10 hours reading random (short) poetry I'm absolutely sure I'd find something that clicked, but there's no place I'm aware of where you can read a selection of poetry like that (unlike youtube and bandcamp, where I can choose from a thousand songs in a thousand genres in seconds). At best there's old php sites where the shallowest dabblers upload. And there's no ambient exposure, like when you walk by a radio or hear something nice in an advertisement.

On 2: No studies, but there's a lot of discussion about the popularity of free verse (what you'll mostly find on the above sites), decline of meter, rhyme patterns, etc. So even when I spend an hour trying to read here and there, that's all I got.

You'll find a decent amount of fantasy verse in books and games, although I'm not sure how well it stands on its own. Maybe there's other fields where poetry can spontaneously occur? Grad school whiteboards?
This is largely the duality between a school of engineering, and a school of technology as well. Purdue University has both. Engineering is this 150 year tradition that literally made Indiana the crossroads of America. Top 5 in most of it's disciplines year after year.

But that consistency has brought the hordes. Thus, freshman engineering is this gauntlet to run. Profressors are busy with reasearch, TAs are just reciting teleprompters. If you make it through, it's because you were self sufficient, and didn't rely on the university for much of anything.

The school of technology, on the other hand, requires professors have 15 years experience in industry. No research is performed. Every single core class has a lab section. It is literally disrupting the school of engineering by taking the students who aren't yet polyglots at 18, and actually teaching them to be engineers.

It is effectively a bypass to the same destination of becoming an Engineer. But there's more lanes, better signage,its well lit, more efficient maintenance, and I arrive at my destination refreshed, instead of frazzled because of all that big city gridlock.
It shouldn't be an excuse to dispense with testing altogether, but static typing is certainly superior to testing for certain classes of bug. The compile-time checks prove certain types of defect simply don't exist, which is the kind of guarantee no amount of testing can give you in that respect for any useful program.

As for the initialisation problem, it's true that it can't be structs all the way down, and at some point you will have to create one of these objects, probably from a primitive with a non-meaningful type such as int, or string. But my experience is that IDs and the like tend to be created in a small number of places, and then reused, copied and passed around. Far easier to find and check all the places where one is created than all the places where one is used!

People spend money on "worthless" things all the time, and as a person who wants to reduce e-waste Eric would have plenty reason to spend something like $80000 to further his goal (whether his belief is justified or not). He made 28,000 disks for $80000. That is $2.85 per disk. $3 is a perfectly reasonable value.
> Do you believe it is fundamentally wrong for a government -- even with significant public support -- to interfere with one anonymous man's Galtian quest to sell radium toothpaste by mail?

Government? Maybe. Private corporations exploiting the hell out of a natural monopoly? Hell no. Genuinely democratic government (which implies opt-in, or at least the ability to opt-out) sure. That's what standards bodies are for.

Unlike some here, I can see value in user protection laws like the GDPR, for the same reason I see the value in governments creating heavy disincentives for kidnapping or murder. Such laws can, if necessary, be enforced on groups running instances of federated social network software. We saw what happened when the US Congress tried to regulate a major centralized provider; a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket:

Exactly. I was a Treo user, and I had the Internet and apps in my pocket for years. There was also the whole Blackberry line, which had very similar functionality. Apple took an existing market that was healthy but focused on niches and made the first consumer-friendly device and then marketed the hell out of it.

Props to them for their many achievements. But it's frustrating to me that people seem to think the smartphone didn't exist until it sprung fully formed from the head of Steve Jobs.
It might also have its own agenda about what news it wants to be considered "real" or "fake".
It makes me wonder what founding myths we live with today. I wont even bother to speculate at the risk of promoting flamebait but I imagine our myths are some of our most scared truths. Of course that's not to say they're conspiracies but just very convenient lies.
Has the prescription described worked anywhere - invest in downtown shops after a mall fails? It does not address people will almost always search for the better price. We had an article about six months ago talking about how Dollar General was swooping into places like this or where even Walmart failed.
Is this spin or not?

“This case involves our program to partner with businesses that refurbish PCs. These businesses typically purchase used PCs, wipe them clean of all software, install a fresh version of Windows and sell the refurbished PCs with new software to new customers. When a refurbisher installs a fresh version of Windows on a refurbished PC, we charge a discounted rate of $25 for the software and a new license – it is not free. Thousands of refurbishers participate in this program legally without confusion, and the program works.”

The wording here is a bit tricky. What is a “fresh” version of Windows, what makes the software “new” and is a new license actually required or not?

Restoring the original version of Windows would not require a new license. A so-called “fresh” version however would. These are meaningless terms when it comes to the bits and bytes of WinXP SP3.

I think - totally guessing - this is the difference between a system restore which would include any original bloatware and perhaps no SP updates - vs a clean install with no bloatware and maybe bundling the SP3 with it...

I could see how a “fresh” install which didn’t use the original recovery disk, being sold to a 3rd party as part of a certified refurb program, might require some additional license which Microsoft sells for $25.

I know that the original purchaser can absolutely wipe and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows without recovery media because it’s the first thing I always do when getting a new machine to eliminate any possible bloatwaes.

Is the original license supposed to carry over to a fresh install being made by a refurbisher while preparing the unit for resale?
This is an amazing article for me who has little perspective on the relevant issues. I now live in a small village satellite of a large city, and see faint signs of a once thriving local community which seems to have disappeared decades ago.

The "genuine" discs he sold had "pre-activated" installations which were clearly tampered with.

Just because the discs are unusable without a license (Which they weren't, as demonstrated during the trial and documented in the docket), it doesn't give him the right to use Microsoft and Dell Logo to cheat the buyers.

Please take your prejudice elsewhere.

"Should she have the right to control where this picture of her naked is being used? Yes."

This is the hard question, I argue the group should not give her the right to censor this image.

Imagine she had the power to censor that image, then she might be bribed into censoring it. I think taxpayers have a right to know what happens with their money.

I think the next generations have the right to know what happened, and learn from the mistakes of the generations before.

Imagine such an image of a person abusing a child, encrypted and signed by community cameras and later decrypted to apprehend the perpetrator. I still think a lot of valuable information (for prevention) can be found: did the perpetrator make some kind of promises? or use fear? how exactly do they lure a child into that situation? how can we prepare children better to recognize such situations? etc...

Then there is also political activism, to the extent that conspiracies or power abuses arise, if the only way to politically imprison a person undetected is to prevent the "evidence" to be presented to the public, then we provide them with this loophole of censorship...
That's an interesting hypothetical use case. But my point is that Apple doesn't really build for hypothetical use cases. What they're really good is finding niche existing use cases and then making great consumer products out of them.

So I wouldn't expect Apple to enter the "VR as monitor replacement" market until there's already a bunch of early-adopter types who are wearing goggles 8 hours a day.

Ignoring the somewhat low performance, unless I'm misreading things, this version won't be able to find the string:

07123E1F482356C415F684407A3B8723E10B2CBBC0B8FCD6282C49D37C9C1ABC

in the string:

07123E1F482356C415F684407123E1F482356C415F684407A3B8723E10B2CBBC0B8FCD6282C49D37C9C1ABC

or to make this a bit easier to read, it won't find:

AXAY

inside the string:

AXAXAY

at the start it will match all the way up to "AXA" then fail to match "AXAY" with "AXAX", and then it will try to search for "AXAY" in the remainder "XAY" which fails.

The correct way of handling this is either searching from the start at for every possible position, which will usually fail quickly so it's not that inefficient, or you need to take into account that partial matches might overlap with an actual match, using something like the KMP algorithm.
Here's one that always has me stare at the screen, quietly, in disbelief.

1. Carefully read and grok a small-to-medium sized module.
2. Notice that although the style is not the "official" style of that language, that it is very consistent and legible.
3. Contribute a small change in that exact same style, such that no one would know that it was a different author if they did not look at the git blame.
4. Get a condescending comment from the first author asking that you, "read and follow the official BLANK style guide".
Legally: This depends on the type of surveillance. Reading someone's first class mail requires a warrant. Posting a car on public streets to observe them requires nothing.

Ethically: law enforcement finds most violations of the law in places they look, so if it's unfair where they're looking, it's easy for that to translate into unfair outcomes. A society where police are watching every Capulet but not investigating the Montagues is one where most of the arrests will be of Capulets, regardless of who is actually committing crimes.

Therefore, when talking in populations, surveillance approximates punishment and familial surveillance approximates collective punishment of an extended family.

> Do you disagree that illegal numbers exist?

Well yes, the notion of illegal numbers is a construct of the silly argument presented. You can decompose anything proscribed into the elements that make it up and then try to claim the elements are ipso facto proscribed.

Mens rea, for example, is really referring to sequences of electrical impulses in your brain, so again by the line of argument there is a physical phenomenon that is criminial.
I had several instances of the opposite while across the Bay: put ethics above profit always. It sounds like you just had a bad professor (which you already know).
> This is the state of things, huge errors in headline stories are retracted in the following issue with merely a line saying they were wrong.

I agree, this is the state of things for most newspapers (which I'm criticizing), but not, for example, for science journals.

> If transparency is your goal, the story calling them guilty should be reprinted with corrections noted.

Again, that would be sensible only if the entire archives were reprinted each day. There are economic limitations for print newspapers that make this infeasible. But if it were the case that print newspapers could feasibly re-printed their entire archives each day, then yes, I endorse them leaving the disclaimed erroneous story in those archives, to be re-printed each day.

That's not the same thing as re-printing the disclaimed erroneous story on the front page.

> >that all retracted stories (even those that defame no one) should be expunged from the online archives.

> Again, I do not wish the story expunged from online archives, and it does not appear NPR is doing anything like this. Removing it from their personal archive is a different matter.

Sorry I wasn't clear. When I write "online archives", I mean NPR's online archives. I am not talking about archive.org or similar.

> suspicious parties can still see their full error should they want to

I would agree that this was the case if the majority of internet users knew what archive.org is. In fact, I bet that less (probably much less) than 5% do. Thus they are effectively hiding the erroneous story from almost the entire readership.
There’s no reason to think locally owned downtown shops will be competitive with Amazon unless they are so high-end as to be a destination shopping experience.
There's an interesting snippet in the beginning of the article:

> A prominent example is our colleague Jesse Prinz at the City University of New York, who argues forcefully for what is referred to as a ‘nurturist’ (as opposed to a ‘naturist’) position in his book Beyond Human Nature: How Culture and Experience Shape the Human Mind

I've read a bunch of books on prehistory, one thing that always stood out to me as very telling is that for a long time, homo sapiens were just like all the other humans on the planet. Reasonably smart, we had tools, rudimentary language and brains equipped to maintain reasonably stable social contacts on a small scale.

Then 70k years ago things suddenly changed, sapiens left Africa and rapidly spread to the other continents. There's not much evidence of actual warfare, but the arrival of sapiens in all cases coincided with the extinction of other humans and mega fauna.

The author of "Sapiens" argues that this happened because of sapiens' massively increased ability to cooperate. When and why did this happen 70k years ago? Because, so argues "Sapiens", a sudden mutation (or gradual crossing of a certain threshold) enabled our ancestors to construct 'culture'. Our increased mastery of language and our evolved social modules allowed a more robust societal framework to come into existence. Enabling rapid buildup and accumulation of technology and tradition. And that was ultimately what made us 'different' from the other humans on the planet.

I found it a very compelling argument (even though, ultimately, it's only a thought experiment). Maybe we do inherit a 'spray-painted wall of human nature'. But our culture and history seem to fill a function too.

On this topic. I'm a terrible cook (and non-existent baker), but love fresh bread. I came across this 5 minute video [1] for a no knead Ciabatta and use it from time to time to make a loaf of fresh bread. Total time for my involvement runs under 10 minutes and I get fresh bread the next day. The only modification I make to it is to add a bit more salt for flavor and I skip the corn meal and shaping step. I pretty much just dump the ingredients in, stir, wait and then dump the dough out of the bowl onto the baking pan and shove it in the oven.

It makes a beautiful simple loaf with a hard crust and a very simple body, which I usually cut up to go with meals or to use as the base for some simple bruschetta snacks or garlic bread. It makes lousy sandwich bread.

One day, I may throw some olives in and make an olive loaf, but meh.
