The doctrine of illusory promise makes a lot of the 'we can change the license however we want' clauses very weak, as far as contractual robustness goes. There are other similar contractual doctrines that attempt to deal with similar issues, but the issue isn't that the release valves don't exist. It's that they're old, rusted and require a lot of force to turn.

The illusory promise doctrine is very seldomly used which means there's a lot of uncertainty about whether or not it would even work. And that's if the dispute gets into the courts in the first place. Which courts it gets into is another big deal; some T&Cs put requirements that the choice of forum for disputes is a favourable one for them, or they force arbitration to be the primary dispute resolution mechanic.

That said, the illusory promise doctrine CAN and HAS demolished these type of T&Cs in the past. Sometimes they even blow up other contractor favouring terms as they go (like the aforementioned choice of forum/arbitration clauses, etc.) But why are people still putting this language into their agreements? Well...

Even if the court doesn't like that segment of the contract and they sever it, there are other ways for the contractor to indicate that the bargain they've arrived at shouldn't be disturbed - including pointing towards continued performance and a lack of notice from others, so even if you correctly note that the contract is busted, the court might say you tacitly agreed to the changed terms and they're read back in, anyways.

Civilian systems have a different strategy for dealing with these types of contracts, calling them contracts of adhesion. They aren't the product of a negotiation, so they treat them will less lenience and deference.

Common law countries often adopt this style of protection through Consumer protection laws or other similar vehicles where the rules of contract are changed to fix different types of contracts.

Basically, it's very complicated - this is just my top-of-mind snapshot on some of the issues, and that complexity creates cost, and that cost prevents oversight.
Indeed. It's alarming that such basic scientific literacy is eluding editors at the NY Times.
Ha! Yeah. I must admit I've accidentally committed a Github access token before. It was in a `secrets.sh` file which I mistakenly thought was in `.gitignore` and carelessly added to a WIP commit.

Github was amazing, they detected it, saw that it was valid, and revoked the token. Big love.

On private repos: it would be a sad, sad thing if all those half-baked pet projects went away, there's an awful lot of valuable random stuff in public repos.
This is fake science that’s why and it’s not helpful.
Uh, fuck off with that line of thinking. Alan Alda was one of the first leading men who was slim and "sensitive" instead of brawny. Is he not a man?

I'm approximately 6'0, 230. I'm running in a marathon in a few months. I also have pierced ears (plural), like the guy in the picture. Am I not a man?

Jason Momoa is a man. So is Woody Allen. Using someone's physical appearance to categorize them and dismiss their opinions is decidedly unmanly.
Firstly, because they used to be written sufficiently well that they never crashed, because competent people wrote them.

If your deployment strategy depends on never having to run substandard software then you've already lost. Also, it just isn't true that older software was necessarily more reliable. It's just that when you found yourself maintaining poorly written software you just dealt with it through whatever means you had available. I remember having to use an IBM HSM implementation on AIX, something you would expect to just work because it was IBM software written for their own system on their own hardware, but in practice the filesystem kept invisibly crashing resulting in apparently corrupt files and I'd have to restart it every few minutes.
We go skiing and hiking much more than once a year. Also buying EV has a very high up front cost.
This argument is essentially “the tool doesn’t protect me from everything, therefore it’s better to have no protection at all.”

And I don’t agree with it. I’m aware Elm doesn’t have dependent types.
Whether you like it or not, people of both genders will be competitive. Ultimately, this is why socialism fails. The incentive to compete essentially disappears. If everyone is forced to be paid the same, why try harder than anyone else? The goal then becomes to game the system as much as possible, where the ruling class accumulates wealth. However, the mere accumulation of wealth is not itself a productive endeavor.

You need only look to the former Soviet Union and republics for evidence of this.
this is no defense of abruptly changing their license, but i feel a game engine vendor controlling licensing of headless servers of their runtime is an insufficient reason to forego the 1,000s of hours that go into engine development
Founder here. Last year I supported an open source AI project and spent considerable amount of money on GPU training at AWS. Only then I learned that I could get same compute cheaper at Google Cloud and even cheaper at Azure. That wasn't obvious, so the idea for Cloud Optimizer was born.

There is ample opportunity for arbitrage between cloud providers and often you can find same compute cheaper at other place. Cloud Optimizer helps find these opportunities.

The data comes directly from cloud provider APIs and is updated every 4 hours. Would appreciate feedback, thanks!
Ornamental features are not obsolete. Many animals are selected for their ornamental features, which may act as heuristics for fitness (both for the opposite sex in reproduction and for the same sex in combat/competitiveness). I know not all of the book is still considered wholly accurate, but Dawkins describes this at length in The Selfish Gene.
You fail to see the main point of my comment.

> are capable of some kind of pristine objectivity.

My point was that media bias is not same as not being untruthful. Fox News stands alone in the mainstream media in their network level intentionally false reporting.
Other way around there were daemons that previously managed cgroups and system NIHed a new implementation.
PostCSS should be a recommendation.
I think the notion of local minima fits into this. It might be optimal for male birds of some species to have very colorful flair to attract females. Within that species of birds, these males with the more colorful/visible/expensive plumage will be selected for. This will remain true on shorter evolutionary time scales. It will work for a while. However, if the males of the species develop flair that becomes too attractive to predators or makes them incapable of outrunning said predators, and most males get eaten, natural selection will ensure that things balance themselves out. That species of birds could go extinct, or it could be that there are very few colorful males left, and the females who are less selective win out because reproducing with the males that are left is better than not reproducing at all.

Evolution is non-stationary. What's making an individual fit depends on its current environment here and now: the food it can find, what predators are out there, things that make it more attractive to mates. However, predators, food, weather and mates change over time. In other words, what's being optimized for is constantly changing, there are local dynamics and some amount of "noise" that occurs, possibly resulting in silly looking animals like peacocks happening once in a while.
How to get a business up and running in 2019
Here's the thing, and keep in mind I'm very pro 2a. It has nothing to do with 'oh gun are bad' 'oh drugs are bad' 'oh porn is bad' it does however have everything to do with 'high risk items lead to much higher chargeback/fraud rates and we'd just as soon as not deal with that unpredictability and general headache'.

That is why 'high risk' processors charge a considerably higher % and per transaction fee and generally hold a percentage (I've personally seen as high as 50%) of every transaction for 1 month or longer (I saw an extreme of one holding 50%, releasing 25% after one month and the other 25% after 3 months before releasing it to the business as you generally have 60 days to dispute a charge).
Thanks! Buzfeed believes in far-left progressive views and is not known for objective reporting, so using this as a primary source for classifications of fake news would predetermine this outcome.

With this in mind I think we can't trust the studys conclusion.
Let's just go all the way and narrow it down to landowners. If we're removing suffrage those idiot olds, why stop when we can get rid of it for those pesky poors too?

When 5G is pervasive and cheap, "instant apps" will undoubtedly become a thing, which will reinvigorate apps. The App/Play stores cause too much friction now. That will change.
You’ve already posted this.

It’s intellectually dishonest to point to implementation bugs as fundamental flaws.
Based on what you’re describing, is this specific to dating as an Asian? Or to dating as someone who has specific socio-cultural criteria they want to restrict their search to? Ie is there a difference between the scenario you describe here - seeking someone who grew up in a western country with their roots in a specific Asian country - and someone seeking to only date someone who shares their religion, or income level, etc?

It’s interesting how internet mediated human interactions constantly walk that line between giving people access to people/communities/points of view/etc they would have never intersected with without the internet, and at the same time people wanting to remain within the human defined boundaries they grew up within.
I rematch with people all the time. I literally rematched with someone in my last game just a second ago playing 10/0. Are you the sort who refuses to resign even when you have a hopeless material disadvantage?
Evolutionary psychology got a bad rap for writing a bunch of "just-so" stories. Without experiments or the confirmation of predictions, it is very easy to fall in to the trap of inventing a story that makes sense to people when they hear it but that isn't particularly aligned to the truth.

Inventing stories that activate the culturally and individually subjective feeling of "that makes sense," is the lowest form of knowledge-seeking. Now, I'm not judging whether or not the accusation is deserved, but that's the substance of the bad reputation.
Is there a common font license that would conform?
kmscon supports text rendering with pango library, I think it has fairly wide font support.
Competition isn't bad, but harming yourself in service of competition is. You can compete without endangering yourself and harming others. You can be the best without having to play the "I'm manlier than you" game.
> I agree with you that compositing/window manager fragmentation is a problem. And this article is a perfect example of that. The author may think that they're happy using i3 with Firefox and st at the moment, but the desktop computing environment has gotten so complex and the expectations of users who interact with desktop applications so rich, that a small hobby project DE/WM cannot fully satisfy all of those use cases over the long term.

Users have different needs and preferences, so I see the fragmentation as a positive thing because it gives people choice.

For me personally, xmonad, one of these hobby projects, has been perfectly sufficient for the last 10 years. I also didn't really touch my configuration much in the last ~8 years. More importantly though, I find it actually reduces my mental workload since I no longer have to handle window placement myself.
What are people's experiences with the build quality of these artisanal laptop builders? I have Thinkpad (running Fedora), but I like the solidity and maintainability. Do things like the Librem last in daily use?
It says "primarily". If the game runs both server and client side, I don't think there is a problem.
Wayland definitely seems like the way forward. But we're in a weird in-between state where it's not fully supported by the ecosystem yet.

Etc.
Sounds like PHP is perfect for you.
iPhone replacement?
It’s time for me to upgrade my phone from the 6S that has been serving me well these past few years.

I have had an iPhone since the original so I know it’s gonna be annoying to switch to something new.

I really want a smaller phone and that is the main reason I don’t want to upgrade to a new iPhone.

I love the IOS/Mac OS ecosystem with photos and messages and phone calls seamlessly switching between my phone and MacBook.

I really want a phone with google maps, phone calls and sms.

The smaller the better.

Suggestions?
If you do have to redo everything, why the hell would you switch to another proprietary technology?! Why not use OpenSceneGraph, OGRE, Irrlicht, Cube2, or one of the hundreds of other free game engines / frameworks out there instead?
Societal pressures? Role conformity?

Edit:

Though looking at other discussions, it looks like people are more interested in playing blame games somehow.
Indeed. Sexual selection is the principal topic of Darwin's “Descent of Man.”
Its mostly dead. Except in certain shops that use a SVN monorepo.
> I guess just a reflection of how steely-eyed these radicals were.

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of factors to take into account during that time ofc, most social upheavals will not come with an attached short-term economic benefit. I do not think that they necessarily thought that most would simply die either, but experience a generally hard time rebuilding. Tsarist Russia was a powder keg that were likely to blow up even without the brutal version served by the bolsheviks.

You're right, I didn't really mean to address your initial point about that, I'm just cherry-picking and adding some thoughts. Propaganda will always emphasize the positives and downplay the negatives as you wrote. In fact, and maybe I'm getting a bit side tracked, but Lenin and others of the more cynical revolutionaries of that time, and probably before and today, thought it might be necessary for things to get worse to reach the conditions needed for the revolution to succeed. Of course there's some amount truth to that, but it's nevertheless very much in line with the terror that followed in the means to an end fashion. On the other hand, Bertrand Russell, for example, while agreeing on the need for communism thought the price to pay through these bolshevik methods were just "too terrible" to justify it. So the spectrum of revolutionaries during that time was quite wide.

The grandparents comment was targeted at cgroups in general. You can’t use cgroups without cgroups. To add on that: IMHO, both systemd and docker made cgroups much more accessible to joe sysadmin and while they’re not a bulletproof security feature, having them (and capabilities, another kernel feature exposed by systemd) in wider use is generally a good thing.
No the core question is “does the time and effort spent on those cases justify the cost of switching to elm?” I have to weigh the benefit of no runtime exceptions against things like having to write interop code for libraries that I may have to integrate with.

It might make sense for other people. It doesn’t add up for me.
Ask HN: How to implement innovation time policy?
I'm gauging the feasibility of implementing innovation time (20%) policy.
What should be the main guidelines so that it could be inclusive and mutually beneficial to all parties?
E.g it is neither treated as overtime nor slack time and something valuable eventually comes out of it. Any tips or pointers to successful/failed attempts are appreciated.

Also, what could be the right angle to approach management to fully get on board with it?
Yes! We're working on it, both client side and server side.

We've got WKD working on our own hello@fluidkeys.com email address using a rather cheeky hack[1].

Server side, we're adding this to Fluidkeys Server soon.

That way, teams that use Fluidkeys could redirect `<team-domain>/.well-known/openpgpkey/(.*)$` to our server, and voila, we'll serve their keys via WKD

SpatialOS is not a streaming service, it is a multi-player hosting service that runs the unity engine on multiple servers to support MMO worlds.

Unity allows streaming for approved partners with the correct liscences, but apparently negotiations with spatial broke down. Since unity didn't comment on why, all we can do is speculate.
For me I had to switch back to MacOS. The battery life was dreadful on Linux, even with TLP and various other tweaks.
Your thought experiment assumes that each person today is a descendant of only one family.
Because it's easier and cheaper to hire developers who already know Unreal. Also, one reason enterprises pay for RedHat Linux is so that when something goes wrong, there's a business liable for it. You can't get a service level agreement from a community.
It's also so obvious as to not even require evidence, honestly. If evolution is the propagation of certain gene adaptations through reproduction, then it goes without saying that any discriminatory element resulting in successful or unsuccessful reproduction, wherein the gene expression has an impact on the outcome, is necessarily involved in the existence of that trait.
You're assuming bash is a requirement which is short sighted, #!/bin/foo can be anything and isn't limited to bash

If someone hired me a data scientist and I said: "Can you help me process this raw data into something that we can work with in this tensorflow model?" And they reply with:

"Don't call it Raw Data"

I would ask my manager to get me someone else.
I am not sure what is the question here.
I can't see Gmail doing it :)

But mostly teams control their own mail domain, so they can do what they like (for example, use Fluidkeys, and we'll do WKD for them!)
Wish there was an ebook/PDF version of the book.
this is awesome, and very similar to what got me into dev.

when I was 11 an online friend showed me a "game" he was working on using VB6. There was a little star you moved across the screen by clicking buttons for u/d/l/r. His end goal was a top-down RPG.

Seeing projects like this always hold a special place in my heart. Best of luck to your brother. I hope his passion grows and he does amazing things

Generally Fourier methods are asymptotically better than Karatsuba, but with much higher constants, which makes them kind-of impractical until you get very big numbers. Anyway, do competitive programmers tend to program everything from scratch, or is there another reason they don't just use GMP?
You could also look into learning Go and playing on https://online-go.com/. Although, if it's all the same to you, Chess will be more popular so you'll be able to find games easier, and you'll be able to find real people to play with easier. Still, it's fun to learn Go and start to see the emergent complexity of the game from such simple rules.

“(masculinity)...marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression—is, on the whole, harmful.”

As a 20 year practitioner of the primal dominance game of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I’d like to address dominance and how it is completely mid-understood.

Dominance is not the act of dominating other people. It is people allowing themselves to be dominated. A key characteristic of alphas is that they are indomitable.

Since people perceive dominance instead of indominance they view it as a scarce zero-sum resource.

If I dominate you it’s because I either accidentally transgressed your boundary or we have boundaries that conflict and we haven’t negotiated new boundaries. Just going about my business people grant me dominance but this is not something I actively do, it is on them.

When people label dominance as bad, this tells me that they have poor boundary establishment and enforcement skills.

What are your values as an individual. From that, what are your boundaries? Are you willing to unflinchingly communicate those boundaries?

Are you willing to attempt to defend those boundaries from transgression? Can you incrementally develop indomitability and eventually read as dominant?

Some who believe they have zero ability to defend boundaries will retreat to the surrender of the boundary-less feminine. This might work, but I think it is more productive to metaphorically die defending boundaries than not have them in the first place.

The unique magic of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that even if you are powerful with clear boundary establishment, for years and years you will utterly fail to defend those boundaries.

Knowing you may fail to defend boundaries but trying anyway is a key to next level masculinity.

One of my precious jobs as a coach is to show men that they can die well. When I think they’re ready, usually after 1-2 years of training I will show them that they are almost completely powerless. From the outside it looks like I’m torturing these men because I never fully checkmate them so that they can quit by tapping out. I encourage them to keep moving, keep trying, try to keep a clear head and act well despite the fact that it’s utterly hopeless.

This human condition is hopeless, but act well in accordance with your values anyway.

This quote by Rickson Gracie sums up the process:

“Where there's discomfort, there's fear," he said. "In these very tough positions, you're in a little piece of hell. And through this daily suffering, you learn to survive in these situations. You have to find comfort in uncomfortable situations. You have to be able to live in your worst nightmare. Jiu-jitsu puts you completely in the moment where you must have complete focus on finding a solution to the problem. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems. Sometimes, you don't have to win. You cannot win. But that has nothing to do with losing."
How do you know their "intentions" much less those of their peers?

He does have a choice—and he lives in Hong Kong. There are those Hong Kong citizens that have expressed their free rights yet are not able to enter the Mainland.

Here’s the HK newspaper view on him: https://m.scmp.com/culture/books/article/2176919/why-hypocri...

This is about Jackie Chan. I’m afraid you’re presenting a strawmam’s argument with respect to what else the Mainland Chinese government has done—while you seem to be refuting my argument, you are presenting an argument that I didn’t present. I’m obviously fairly critical of the Chinese government.

I’m reminded of this poem:

``First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist. / Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist. / Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew. / Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.’’
