You are wrong on the law. An ongoing violation keep such a claim alive. The statute of limitations runs from the last violation (or; when a violation was discovered last (the circuits are split here)) A derivative work would be a violation, regardless of whether if "all the code was replaced": it would still be a derived work.

So. If Gosling's claims in the video were true; and his copyright was proper; and there was not a clean-room reimplementation (by someone not having access to his source code) in GNU EMACS (if all this was true):

Then: Current GNU EMACS would /still/ be in violation of Gosling's copyright.

However, the facts are disputed as RMS' EMACS predates Goslings' in the record.

I hate when IQ comes up on Hacker News because it's a topic that everyone feels like they have something to contribute on, and there's so many misconceptions floating around it's hard to know what's "orthodox" so to speak.

Does anyone have a good reference about what the current, academic general understanding with regard to intelligence is? Are there any surveys of practicing psychologists, etc?

The best I've found is the "Intelligence Knowns and Unknowns"[0] task force report published by the American Psychological Association in 1995, but I'm not aware of any such report since then.

My takeaways from that report, are that IQ does capture the concept of "intelligence" that most people understand exists, that the tests aren't biased or flawed anymore, that IQ can't really be changed with any known interventions, and that it correlates well with success in school, jobs, and life.

I'd love to know if that's still the academic consensus. You'd never know from these threads where people chime in with their own anecdotes what's real.

I see it's attack RMS day 17 today.

I bet Gosling doesn't even like cute young girls, but is happy with whatever women America allows him to be ruled over by (woman is the master in the USA); but all those millions don't get him a virgin young girl as brides.

Even a goat farmer in Afghanistan has such good things.
But a top guy in the USA: no way.

Remember: A man isn't a man unless he rules over others.
RMS rules over the hearts of thousands, maybe more, what does Gosling rule over? And what is it worth if it doesn't get him the traditional pleasures the Prophets knew?

This article is blaming technology. This is very dangerous because it diverts the blame from who it should be on and that's the governments for making bad decisions.
That's an exception to the rule - a rare case of people with enough integrity to not sacrifice quality and accuracy, while having a distinct and approachable enough style to attract a wider audience. And still, I'm not sure if they've reached "financial independence" point yet. Yes, there's Patreon (and I send them money there), but last I checked (roughly a year ago), they still funded it in big part from the money they make commercially as a creative agency.

5G is designed to be more energy efficient than 4G/LTE and it will be. The design goal was at least three days for smartphones and up to 15 years for IoT devices.

5G NG encoding requires more computational power but the but the transmission is more energy efficient. For operators the ability to put base stations into sleep mode is a big deal.

>Books and ebooks are really not the same thing at all.

In what sense are they not? My first thought when hearing the word "book" is of a particular template of contents and layout that could be instantiated on paper or on a digital device; I guess I'm thinking of something like an ISBN, rather than a specific physical artifact. And that's pretty much the same concept that comes to mind when I hear "ebook".

What is the difference that you're thinking of?

EDIT: in other words, I suppose that my concept of a book is based on the usual interpretation of the question "Have you read that book?"

My advice is to jump to the university and pick a few persons that usually attend coding dojos/katas. They prove that way their interest and they will be happy to work.

Never understood the "you should read X hundred books per year" trend. Especially when the reason is "Warren buffet said so". It's like thinking only wearing grey t-shirts will make you the next Zuckerberg, and there is no way you'll be internalising even 5% of 500 books per year.

Hello,
Due.work founder here.

About 3 Months ago we launched Due.work 1.0 (which was previously known as Birtly) with the mission to simplify the way people work together in a team.

By that time we kept on working day and night improving our product and today we are finally launching Due.work.

Due.work allows you to organize and prioritize your project and tasks with a board, list, and timeline view. By using due.work you can segregate everything down into tasks, then prioritize and assign the tasks. review the progress of each area using different views.

What's new in Due.work

- Seperate pages for Today Tasks, My Tasks, Next 7 Days with support of 3 different views (List, Board and Timeline) in each.

- Communication for discussing together with your team while working on the same project.

- Seperate activities page for getting all auto-updates of work happening in the task. Activities remove the hassle of having integration with other third party tools like slack just to get an update about work happening in the project.

- Introduction of simple distraction-free list view to get more focused on work.

- Improved pricing plans for unlimited user, unlimited project access for each plans including the free one.
Those are still accurate. There's a short book by Stuart Ritchie called "Intelligence: All That Matters" that is a good summary of contemporary psychological understanding of IQ.

The article belongs in an Opinion section, not in a (Technology) News section.

>Journalism and activism can’t be separated.

They should and they can. Either have a separate publication, or at the very least have a separate, clearly delineated "Opinion" section. Otherwise you run the risk of media trust becoming very low, and thus media losing its ability to guard the republic (or the democracy).

Consider a similar assertion - "journalism and advertising can't be separated" - it's obviously false. Granted, there is some undue influence from advertisers to be expected. However this is considered a negative that should be avoided. And indeed the good practice is to have a "firewall" between the advertising department, and the news desk, in any publication.

IQ is useful in the aggregate. This is because it correlates so strongly to so many life outcomes. It might be useful if we can one day figure out how to improve IQs. However, it isn't useful on an individual level. An average IQ person can surely work hard and make millions running a business, write a best selling novel, etc. even if statistically they might be less likely to do so.
As a side answer, why do we as a society punish men who take low paying jobs but not women? Why is high income only correlated for men with reproductive success, health and social support, but not for women?

When given a choice between safer work, more meaningful work and higher income, why does more men pick higher income? Why do more men prioritize getting an income above studying in their early 20s compared to women?

Lets conduct an experiment with two groups where we punish members of Group A if they don't choose a high income job and keep Group B as control. What should we expect about the relative income between the two from a initial round of just choosing a profession? Next, lets introduce negotiation where the employee balance job security, job satisfaction and wages, and the employer balance the cost of supplying those needs with their own need to retain the employee. Should we expect a different outcome between Group A and Group B? In the last step of the experiment, what would we need to change in order to get equal outcome for Group A and Group B?
A 20-year longitudinal study has traced the academic, social, and emotional development of 60 young Australians with IQs of 160 and above. Significant differences have been noted in the young people’s educational status and direction, life satisfaction, social relationships, and self-esteem as a function of the degree of academic acceleration their schools permitted them in childhood and adolescence. The considerable majority of young people who have been radically accelerated, or who accelerated by 2 years, report high degrees of life satisfaction, have taken research degrees at leading universities, have professional careers, and report facilitative social and love relationships. Young people of equal abilities who accelerated by only 1 year or who have not been permitted acceleration have tended to enter less academically rigorous college courses, report lower levels of life satisfaction, and in many cases, experience significant difficulties with socialization. Several did not graduate from college or high school. Without exception, these young people possess multiple talents; however, for some, the extent and direction of talent development has been dictated by their schools’ academic priorities or their teachers’ willingness or unwillingness to assist in the development of particular talent areas.

That's a side effect of too much centralization. Grocery stores handle billions of customers daily and have no problem processing even 10% of them complaining about something, because there's lots of stores and each handles complaints themselves. Customer support scales linearly with the scale of the sector.

You could say it's one of the negative side effects of globalization - instead of small market entities serving their local populations, you have large market entities that try to handle everyone themselves.

I'm not sure what welfare payouts you're referring to; the Indian state mostly assists via subsidies rather than cash. Lately they have moved to direct benefits transfer (ie a payment into a bank account) for the cooking gas subsidy, which is an anti-corruption move meant to route around intermediaries who divert subsidized cylinders and sell them at market rate.

The problem is that Aadhar (introduced initially for subsidies) has become a biometric ID system to link more and more of a person's life to this government ID. A few weeks ago a child died of rabies and the first excuse the hospital gave to delay treatment was that they wanted her Aadhar: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/agra/rabies-infecte...

I am disappointed whenever I see Bill Gates mindlessly applauding Aadhar. It is easy to side with technocratic ideas from just reading headlines, but if a biometric surveillance state is such a great idea he should have it advocated for it in the US first. (Another example of a technocratic authoritarian move he initially made some positive murmurs about was demonetization, which now, three years later, has proven to have had a disastrous effect on India's economy.)

In case anybody is interested, but isn't aware. The Oz "universe" is quite expansive and extends far beyond the 1939 film.

There's over a dozen books in the series by the original author and they're all in the public domain, free for anybody, and they hold up amazingly well as children's fantasy novels with memorable characters and an impressive amount of creativity. You can find them here (as well as dozens of other creative works by the same author): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/42

There's also a couple dozen later works set in the same universe by other authors, notably 19 by Ruth Plumly Thomson. Most of these, I believe, are also in the public domain. You can find most of Thomson's works here https://archive.org/search.php?query=Ruth%20Plumly%20Thompso...

A complete list of Oz books is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oz_books
Notable authors who've written in Oz include Soviet author Alexander Volkov, Philip Jose Farmer, Joan D. Vinge, and even Stephen King.

In addition to the famous '39 film, there's several other films including a 1910 film, 1925 silent film, a 1933 Canadian animated, a 1975 film, a 1982 anime, an 1986 Japanese anime series, a 1950 half-hour tv adaptation, a 2013 film, various musical adaptations (including a Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow urban retelling in the mid-70s), games, comics and so on. There's also a 1985 Sequel film called "Return to Oz".

Keeping Your Data Warehouse in Order – Episode 102
In the densest cities you want a mast every 200 meters anyway, and the more bandwidth you can get from those masts the better. It is all in the name of serving the large number of people in those areas. High frequency serves this niche well.

In rural areas you don't have very many people to serve. You would still like a mast every 200 meters, but it isn't cost effective (the one farmer who would use it every couple months wouldn't like to steer their tractor around it) so you compromise bandwidth for lower frequencies.
If I understand correctly, the full URL is hashed (or at least the first n bits of the full URL). It really isn't computationally expensive to work out undesirable URL's being visited because the undesirable domains are known, and it would be trivial for them to periodically crawl the undesirable domains for all known internal URLs and build a dictionary of hashes.
So we can apply solo with the intent of forming a team at the hackathon?
But isn't it a problem that you just generate trivial observations without being able to form conclusions? That you missing the perspective that makes the gathered data valuable?

Historically computer science was often bundled with philosophy, because the field of CS wasn't taken seriously enough to warrant a standalone field of study. Philosophy was probably a popular choice due to the overlap in reasoning and principles, which were emphasized by classical philosophers.

Being able to reason about the properties and especially correctness of algorithms sounds useful. Don't worry, I skip that part in my daily work often enough.

Just a thought, my old company ElectricImp could be a good fit. The company itself only provides diagrams for compatible hardware, an OS, and a cloud for deployment and a paired cloud-based VM for each deployed.

The only phoning home is OS updates, and then whatever you program the VM to do. So you could take audio in on the device, send to cloud VM, then send to some sort of homebrew speech to text (or be a total fucking badass and squeeze your own speech to text in squirrel code onto the VM itself).
