> It was a public and documented plan by the Republican party to not compromise on a single issue with the Obama administration.

You lack all perspective. The republican party is the party of rich and influential people, ignoring Jews which act in their own ways (and make this relationship much less obvious): http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-differences-are-mo.... The black plaque reduced the size of the low class, the industrial revolution blew it up. Today the size of the low class in the west is very large proportionally, though nothing compared to the low class in say Africa. With a burgeoning low class, high culture is decimated. Today the educated don't have children, the non-educated do. Smart.

The naturalization law of 1790, approved in the second session of the first Congress, limited naturalization to immigrants who were free White persons of good character, with 'white' being more restrictive than it is today. It was a country created by and for a certain people.

The men that created America have done nothing but continuously give up more and more of their hard earned power. You're freaking out over Republicans having an issue with a brown Hussein who campaigned on a lie of gender pay gap? Relax, it takes time to adjust to change. Remember, conservatives want to conserve. Have they done that? No.

Maybe you should thank Republicans for being okay with such a dramatic change. Could you imagine the Chinese accepting their country turning half white? I sure couldn't. And what of the Europeans? They've let America turn itself into a melting pot without comment, threatening their relationship with the worlds biggest superpower. The shared kin factor between Europe and the USA is disappearing. That's a huge security risk that Europe has voluntarily taken on. You should thank them.

Relax, change takes time. Republicans (and whites) are the most tolerant people on earth. It's only liberals that sway away from tolerance and into intolerance.

The high class. What has come of it? "Majority of mathematicians hail from just 24 scientific ‘families’" says a nature.com article. Each son and daughter a masterpiece. Families of mathematicians, families of writers and artists, families of architects. Where are they now? They're gone, and they gave their power to you. Democracy. What more do you want? Should republicans commit suicide as well? Is that what it takes? Stop, you have it all now. Spare the Republicans.
nice work. do you have an api?
Pieter Hintjens makes a similar argument in Social Architecture, describing ZeroMQ's community guidelines:

> All patches are owned by their authors. There SHALL NOT be any copyright assignment process.

> Here we come to the key reason people trust their investments in ZeroMQ: it's logistically impossible to buy the copyrights to create a closed source competitor to ZeroMQ. iMatix can't do this either. And the more people that send patches, the harder it becomes. ZeroMQ isn't just free and open today--this specific rule means it will remain so forever. Note that it's not the case in all MPLv2/GPL projects, many of which still ask for copyright transfer back to the maintainers.
Counter-example here - used to be more of a libertarian but have shifted my perspective from the view of the individual as an atomic unit.

I don't think there's an obvious generalization to make. My 5c would be that (as another commented pointed out) in general people who start off as ideologists (in whatever direction) will lean more towards pragmatism later in life, while others will become exposed to ideas and environments that will radicalize them.
Another alternative (if you want to write a multi-threaded runtime that allows its clients to request a fork) is to implement your own memory allocation routines that use robust mutexes, along with appropriate cleanup routines for the EOWNERDEAD case.

This may be easier said than done.

Traditionally Deep Learning frameworks were all using FP32.

With FP16 one can theoretically get 2x speed and 2x larger models with the same VRAM capacity. For inferencing with INT8/INT4 it can be even way better (good for embedded stuff). The downside is that sometimes more complex/deep models don't converge (or converge less often than FP32). Sometimes there are framework issues with some advanced FP16 stuff.
As I interpret your comment, you are dismissing this paper's conclusions about warming effects using just the arguments that (1) intuitively wind power absorbs energy, not releases it like combustion; and (2) the atmosphere is complicated. Is that it?

(1) seems like an obvious red herring since the heating/cooling effects of fossil fuels have nothing to do with the thermodynamic energy release of combustion. And (2) isn't an argument for cooling, just uncertainty, and you've given us no reason to trust you over a journal article.
Well my Intel chip needs a fan and my iPhone doesn’t. So it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison (no pun intended, please nobody reply with “I see what you did there”).

The fact that someone can come up with a chip of similar performance to Intel’s isn’t that amazing. The fact that they can do so without needing a fan is.
If you want to go the legal route, you can still buy Zork: https://www.gog.com/game/the_zork_anthology Usually with infocom collections you can find the Zork game file pretty easily and run it on any Z-machine interpreter you like, meaning it's incredibly cross-platform nowadays.

If you want to go the, ah, "less legal" route, it's pretty easy to find copies of the game file if you search properly.

In some ways, the text adventure games of that era have survived better than anything else. You can get a modern interpreter and play it on a modern display, with the computer responding as quickly as you can type, with nice modern fonts, on any system you like (mac windows linux android ios random assortment of other platforms), and at the same time, there's basically no compromise of the original experience. (Unless you absolutely insist that it's vital that you have to wait a second or two for the computer to respond to your input, and sluggishly stream the text out.) It's not a "remastering" or a reimplementation, it's still the original thing, just brought forward in time.
> Brave does not monetize content. Everything that is monetized goes to the wallets of publishers, minus a fee [emphasis added].

Your second sentence contradicts your first sentence.

> Publishers don't "sell their inventory", since everything a website puts up on the web is essentially free.

They have spots on their web pages for advertisements that they sell to Google or other ad networks. Brave unilaterally takes those spots from the publisher for a price the publisher never agreed to.

> The publishers chose Google as their middle-man to make money with ads.

That's the point. They sold that inventory to Google, not to Brave.
Never. I had a vague, casual familiarity with the syntax and got together a working configuration for my monitor setup and preferences in 20 minutes though.
If Apple were to agree with and state that China is spying on them, then they might face repercussions from the Chinese government on their extensive business interests in China. They make all the stuff there. This is monetary threat to Apple, so lying is within character for a corporation to preserve their business.
I've found that ordering products through Amazon is a much better experience then ordering through a company's own website.

One click ordering, reliable order tracking, and faster shipping times.

I recently tried to purchase a pair of shoes from steve madden. They canceled my order without even notifying me, and I didn't notice until I checked my order status. Turns out they were failing to process my payment, and they couldn't even explain why.

They also sell through Amazon. One click later and I'm getting the same product faster and cheaper from the same seller.
The tense-space system is a good example. By default, a sentence like "mi tavla"/"I talk" doesn't convey any temporal information. But you could add a tense particle like "pu": "mi pu tavla"/"I [past] talked". But that doesn't really tell you how long ago it was, so maybe you want to add "zi" to indicate that it was recently that you spoke: "mi pu zi tavla"/"I [past] [recent] talked" which might be interpreted as "I was just talking". But where were you doing that? Perhaps you were just talking downstairs, so you'd add "ni'a" to indicate that it was below: "mi pu zi ni'a tavla"/"I [past] [recent] [down] talked" -> "I was just talking down there". But maybe you do this all the time? Let's add "ta'e" to indicate habitually. "mi pu zi ni'a ta'e tavla"/"I [past] [recent] [down] [habitually] talked" -> "I used to talk down there all the time". But maybe I want you to know it was kind of a problem or that I did it too much? In that case let's add "za'o" to indicate that the event went on too long: "mi pu zi ni'a ta'e za'o tavla" -> "I used to habitually talk down there too much."

I like this example because: 1) I've only used four or five of the 28 sections of Chapter 10: Imaginary Journeys, which concerns the tense system, 2) this is only the tense system, not any of the copious other systems Lojban has 3) this shows you the kind of particle-soup that I think Lojban can easily devolve into, and 4) eventually, a real Lojbanist will arrive and correct everything I said above, which is an important part of the real flavor of the language. Being less snarky, my suspicion is that there is a real art in choosing which information to add, since none of it is obligatory (unlike English), and it is quite possible to add information in Lojban which would require additional clauses in English, that makes it an interesting mental exercise to interpret.
“I never signed anything though... I just clicked submit on an agreement and there might have been a checkbox checked, or not.”

The article should make it more clear that the same warning also should apply to digital signatures and agreements in their various forms.
Depends on the country. In NL, the legal requirements for independent contractors are quite strict. As an independent contractor, you must:

- have multiple sources of income/contracts (at least 3, and no single contract may be worth more than 70% of your total income)

- have complete control over how to do your job (i.e. the hiring party can only tell you what to do, not how or when to do it)

- actively promote your own company (acquisition, marketing efforts)

- invest in your own company: your tools (laptop, software licenses) must be your own (they are tax-deductible)

- have your own liability insurance.

If you fail any of these conditions, the tax auditor may classify you as an employee regardless of what the contract says, and both you and your employer may be fined (depending on whether they see you as a victim or an accomplice).
And this is why pursuing efficiencies in energy consumption is important too!

Can anyone offer advice? I am about to enter a bootcamp, rails based, with an attached dev company / set of instructors. There is one dev using windows/Linux, several students on Ubuntu and the rest on Macs. I need a new laptop to participate. I use windows (desktop) though have used unix in the dim distant past. I am looking at a 13" i5 8gb 256gb 2017 mbp (max budget) vs a dual boot Win / Linux machine (hp envy)with an i7 and 16mb ram, full hd 13" touch screen (also with soldered ram but removable ssd). If 99% of the people use Macs I assume this makes it an obvious choice?

But what if somebody was changed the license from BSD to proprietary after you've contributed to the project? Would you still be happy about it then?

I think the idea was: I have my code contributed under BSD, so you cannot re-license my code without clearance from me.

> And the fix is to deprecate shared memory multithreading altogether.

Not gonna happen without a radically different CPU, OS, and application software paradigm. In other words: extremely unlikely in the next 2-3 decades (at least).

> It's too hard to use

Agree for most languages. Have you tried Rust? It makes shared memory multi-threading not just much simpler, but also safe.

> too slow

Very wrong for multi-core CPUs, where message-passing is emulated using shared memory.

> too broken

What does that even mean? With the right language-enforced mechanism, it is very much non-broken and functional.

> and has no future either way.

Very wrong, see first paragraph.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that copyright transfer is not even legally applicable in many jurisdictions.

One could ask the same question about things like United Nations Human Rights Council. The answer is that money, and representation of all governments is what counts. It leads to rather absurd outcomes.
"Good faith" and by extension "bad faith" are quasi-legal terms. To do business in good faith is to act by the letter and spirit of terms without an intention of attempting to defraud.

As I understand it, someone who acts in Good faith usually has more leniency then someone who acts in bad faith. For instance, I had a friend who upon leaving an apartment building was charged several hundred dollars for maintenance having to replace lightbulbs - she disputed the debt, but the apartment complex attempted to charge her interest on it during the dispute. Because the apartment complex acted in bad faith, not only was the debt canceled, but the apartment complex had to pay out additional damages to her.

A business should act on good faith. That doesn't mean not having legal agreements or being naive, it means following the letter and spirit of laws. You might be able to technically trick someone into letting you steal their open source contributions and sell them, but that would be bad faith.

Wikipedia explains it this way: "In contract law, the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is a general presumption that the parties to a contract will deal with each other honestly, fairly, and in good faith, so as to not destroy the right of the other party or parties to receive the benefits of the contract. It is implied in every contract in order to reinforce the express covenants or promises of the contract. A lawsuit (or a cause of action) based upon the breach of the covenant may arise when one party to the contract attempts to claim the benefit of a technical excuse for breaching the contract, or when he or she uses specific contractual terms in isolation in order to refuse to perform his or her contractual obligations, despite the general circumstances and understandings between the parties. When a court or triar or fact interprets a contract, there is always an "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing" in every written agreement.[1]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_faith_(law)
It's local, not global warming.
In a free market, things can only be "over valued" if the buyer is misinformed. If a home buyer believes that housing prices will go up 10% next year, but in reality they stay flat, they are apt to over value houses. However, if they believe prices will rise 10%, but they end up rising 20%, then they under valued houses. You can only know in retrospect if something over valued because the term implies a future outcome.

The other problem is that free markets are self correcting. Home buyers can bring down prices if the majority simply believe they will drop and refuse to offer asking price. So, anything believed by the majority of purchasing power becomes self-fulfilling in dragging prices in that direction.

With the current housing prices, the majority of purchasing power believe that houses are under valued, which is why prices continue to rise. Prices will continue to rise until the majority of purchasing power believes that houses are over valued. Only history and an arbitrary future reference point will tell us if they were right or not.
You can make the next version proprietary or whatever, but you obviously can't retroactively revoke the license from released code :)
... almost all the time [one is on the digital grid]

The more capability superpowers build into digital tracking, the easier it is to leave that behind.

If I took a bag of cash, left all digital devices and credit / banking cards on my table, and walked out of my house, I find it incredibly hard to believe the US government could reliably track me if I wasn't already marked for surveillance.

It's only illegal if the EU enforces it, really, and it seems that the EU has no motivation to act on these obvious violators. It's been 4 months, and this violation is one of the most obvious and easily fine-able violations and yet nothings changed. Companies aren't scared, no one is doing anything differently, so until the EU actually proves they're interested in enforcing the text of the GDPR companies are going to continue acting like they're not in danger.
They're much closer to the Visual Novel genre then the Adventure Games formula. But even than, most really good VNs that come out of Japan have branching stories. It's dependency on Anime Harem tropes and fanservice notwithstanding, many of the stories (Steins;Gate, Fate/Stay Night comes to mind) branch significantly and well beyond the "600 dead end bad endings and 1 good ending". They're well written and (again, once you get past the fact that you have to rummage through a sex scene you're totally not interested in ever seeing to get to a particular ending) engaging.

Telltale had a chance to take the Visual Novel, clean it up some for more Western sensibilities, and really create a market here for the genre.

Instead you just got a badly rendered machina. It was unfortunate.

That said, I've heard great things about the writing for Minecraft Story from adults. So, you know. If your expectations are appropriate, there's room to be impressed.

>not all open source is FOSS

>This is not the case of all open source licenses.

false. open source is literally just a friendlier name and otherwise rebranding of free software. all open source is free software and all free software is open source. if you are contributing to FOSS qua FOSS, then you want it to remain FOSS. FOSS refers to that software which guarantees your right to change it, so if you are making changes, you clearly benefit from it remaining FOSS.

note further the game theoretic implications: if a minority of projects use CLAs, it is possible to avoid contributing to such projects. If people are willing to contribute to such projects, then their number might expand. Those interested in the continuation of FOSS, which should be anyone, especially those interested in software development, should therefore be interested in not signing CLAs.
It sounds like you get something out of this more than stuff, you get the fun of gaming the system.

> Another key is to order stuff that weighs a lot (40lbs+). Last time I did FBA the UPS rate for Amazon shipping was ~50 cents / lb . So if you're getting a 40lb item (especially if it has weird dimensions) they're likely not paying much lower than $15-20 to get that to your door in 2 days.
