No, patents was not created for the pharma industry. It is however the industry which would be the most disrupted by a patent abolishment. They would need a new government sponsored model to replace the current one. This to offset the costs that medical trial requirements create, which is the main cost of developing new medicines.

If we want safe meds we need to pay for the safety somehow. But that price needn't affect every other industry.

I think companies will hop on board if it means saving engineering hours. OSS has monetary value to these businesses, enough to make a small subscription to support the tremendous development efforts behind it. In most projects, OSS makes up the majority of the codebase, so it is "big/important" IMO.

As for the legal aspect, permissive licensing like MIT/Apache 2.0 allows developers and consumers to distribute and use code pretty freely, which is what makes OSS so great and why GitRoyalty doesn't impose any other licensing.

One of the driving factors behind making GitRoyalty was the corporate mentality I've experienced where management will pay for whatever is necessary, but think twice before sponsoring anything (especially transitive projects).
I mean that's just a time/GPU power issue.

I am not clear what "manipulate" means here -- what is the author trying to do with the comma separated values? FWIW, I can accomplish csv manipulation using a handful of Unix utilities: sed, awk, cut, and call it a day.
I'm wondering the same thing: a cooperative doesn't clash with capitalism, especially if it's for profit.
Charging money for OSS is perfectly kosher under FOSS definition.
They need to know where the scooters are but they don't really need to know where the customers are though.

Consider a similar system that would work with coin operated scooters. They can have GPS in the vehicle without constant association with users.

In any cases these two tracking databases, where is each scooter and who is on which scooter, should be separate so they can provide the former to law enforcement without disclosing citizens whereabouts.
They do need special attention. The problem is that the average teacher is simply not equipped to deal with their level of need. Kids at the very bottom of the performance distribution tend to have major issues at home, mental health issues, and may even have personality disorders in the dark triad. These kids need serious help from experts. That's too expensive though, so they aren't going to get it and everyone who has to interact with them ends up paying the price.
Great idea and you can do this with GitRoyalty! You can hide any files you want behind the subscription–it doesn't have to be the manifest or build script. So in your case you can hide a docs.md file.
I have no idea why you think it has to be “twice as good” or what all that even means.

Slack's branding certainly has a purpose but I think it's more about broad acceptance than individual aspirations - it has to look like something people use at work. There's a whiff of 'tech' and even playfulness to it but it's sensibly calibrated to be business-anodyne. There is also an element of edginess but it's neatly and entirely contained in the name. By this point, though, 'Slack' has almost become a generic term for 'work chat' so there's little danger anyone with purchasing authority is going to confuse it with one of the foundational concepts of the Church of the SubGenius™.

Slack's branding is more akin to the logo you see on the side of the floor buffing machine building maintenance workers guide around the office at night. That's not there to inspire anyone to join the hardworking tribe of building maintenance workers.
There's more worry with kids, in my experience, by a long shot. More responsibility. Less crushing grind (though lots, to be clear). And it's better motivated than high school, that having a disorienting and disheartening mix of deadly seriousness (so you're meant to believe, anyway) and complete make-believe with the lines always shifting and blurring. That helps make the trade-offs of having kids far less oppressive than high school, I think.
It's all fluff mixed with virtue signalling.

Every data processing task has to make assumptions about the well-formedness of its input. "Arbitrary CSV" is basically undefined; whether deviations are best dealt with by parsing, preprocessing, or different tools altogether depends on the source.
Pretty soon the German automakers will stop bragging that their cars have “23 computers”. They’re computers in the way arduinos are computers. Their cars have no capability of doing matrix math for any kind of real processing.
Kind of what OLE was supposed to be back in the day? Just web based this time?

I wonder if it will work this time.
They'd need the following to really make it with autonomous cars:

2) Have the capital to build out a fleet

3) Have the technology before others for long enough to build a moat.

> Imagine if someone said "Food safety regulations only hurt the small businesses, they don't have the resources to wash a cutting board after cutting chicken while McDonalds serves unhealthy but legally safe food"

But that's exactly what we do. The health inspector doesn't come to your home to verify that you wash your cutting board, even on the day you have a dinner party to entertain business clients. Depending on local law you may or may not be expected to follow the same rules as McDonalds (getting a food service license etc.) when you hold a high school bake sale, but people commonly don't actually do it and governments commonly don't actually enforce it in those circumstances.

Because it's more important, and justifies a higher compliance burden, to ensure that the company serving billions of hamburgers isn't giving people food poisoning than the individual serving four.
From the (thin) copy here, it appears this is very much what Google Wave wanted to be, including an API for stateful robots that collaborate alongside you. Hopefully the API layer will allow for custom presentational components, allowing developers to go beyond simple "office-like" use cases, into multimedia creative applications.

Miraca Gross, writing about Austrialia, says this:

"Two studies a decade apart (Start, John, and Strange, 1975; Start, 1985) surveyed every Australian tertiary institution which offered teacher education programmes. Each was contacted with a questionnaire relating to their teacher education offerings in four areas: mentally, physically, or emotionally handicapped children, migrant children, socio-economically deprived children, and gifted and talented children.

The situation regarding teacher preparation in gifted education was twice as positive in the mid-1980s as it had been in the mid-1970s. Nevertheless, in 1984, for every hour on teaching the gifted, student teachers had been exposed to 18 to 24 hours on teaching the disadvantaged. Furthermore, sessions on gifted education usually comprised one single-hour lecture in a general course, or elective units of three to six lectures. Whereas every institution had at least one compulsory unit or course on one or other form of disadvantage, no institution in Australia had a compulsory unit on gifted. One college replied to the survey saying that its students could consider the intellectually able as one topic in a comprehensive course, and approximately one lecture would be devoted to the area. The name of the course was "Controversies in Education" (Start, 1985)."

She says it's less bad in the United States—as of 1993. The figure you give isn't encouraging, though.

Ok, I'm pretty fond with this, and it looks like a great model.

Some things that bugs me:

* I wouldn't term it as an 'OSS paywall'. I would rather term it as an 'package paywall', or 'repo paywall', or something else.

* I would prefer not using GitHub accounts, and rather have an own GitRoyalty account. I would like to have multiple login methods (like GitHub, GitLab, Google, Facebook, GitRoyalty account).

* I think the process of using GitRoyalty package as dependencies are too complex, I'm not sure if anyone would like an experience of searching (a git-committed) package-lock.json, changing all of the GitRoyalty package links, installing the packages, and removing the license keys when committing an updated package-lock.json. There should be a more straightforward way (preferably without any file changes, e.g. using environment variables) to install dependencies.

Also, I'm pretty impressed with the beautifully done website. May I ask what the site/docs are made of?
I never realised that the APOE variant bound heparin sulfate (HS). HS is actually a cool molecule (glycan) from the perspective of its ability to encode information in its pattern of sulfation.

The signals can be mixed and the precise binding partners for a single molecule can be programmed in. How this is all regulated, and the extent this happens in nature is still being worked out.

How to Find the Right Developer
Copying means that you are always a step behind, and wealth doesn't replace the know-how necessary to recognize the good ideas. You can throw a lot of money on the fire by copying the wrong stuff.
> what if the assumptions are wrong?

Dark matter and dark energy are not assumptions. The assumptions are the general relativity and the FLRW metric which is the solution of Friedmann equations. The assumptions of Friedmann equations are that the universe is homogeneous, isotropic, and a perfect fluid. A perfect fluid means the universe has only a local density and pressure. There are no other assumptions in deriving the FLRW metric.

Even if were to verify these result by direct measurements, we wouldn't be able to send a probe across the universe. Please note that local curvature in the Milky Way or even the Virgo cluster wouldn't say anything about the curvature of the universe at very large scales. We are talking about curvature at scales larger than 100Mpc (more than 300 million light years).
That puzzles me, too. The thermal effect that drives a radiometer[1] should be too slow to transmit audio. Radiation pressure transfer from photons is very weak, but wouldn't have bandwidth problems. The frequency response of this effect does fall off with frequency, but not very fast; see fig. 6. in the paper.[2] There's still reasonable output at 3KHz.

Light pressure of sunlight is about 1mg/m^2. Or one nanogram per square millimeter, a reasonable size for a chip microphone. Will chip microphones respond to a nanogram of pressure?

It says that's how many trips were "planned", not taken.

It's an interesting UI study to see how many trips were planned vs. taken, though. When I use Google Maps to plan a trip, the leave/arrive times are usually wrong, so I have to adjust those. It's kind of a pain to type in a time, so I hit the "+ 30 minutes" button a bunch of times until I get to the desired time. So if this is a trip for 6 hours later today, that's going to be 12 trips planned vs. 1 taken.

Odd... I remember editing Word documents in Microsofts cloud offering as far back as 2012 ~ 2013. Maybe even sooner? Point being this is just a marketing piece. In Microsofts case you likely will still be able to work offline. I was editing files on both desktop and web at my former job. Its nothing new to Microsoft. Personally I prefer Office to Google Docs.
> Uber has only made finding the ride more efficient but it has not made the actual ride itself more efficient.

Driver cost per trip = Driver cost per hour / Driver utilization.

By making finding the ride more efficient, Uber meaningfully increases driver utilization, decreasing driver cost per trip.
Bacterial Toxin Kills Antibiotic-Resistant Pathogens Like MRSA
illumos split from Solaris around the time Solaris 11 has been released. Since then the development of both mostly diverge. Unlike others I think that Solaris is still being developed but not so obviously. Partly because it is limited to paying customers (non-paying customers can only access official releases like 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and so on. And this happens seldomly) and most changes happen in not so obvious parts (eg. low level tools and protocols).
BTW: From its Solaris inheritance illumos got a lot of technologies despite the always mentioned SMF, ZFS, Crossbow and DTrace. Eg. authorizations, privileges and roles. Things that I miss when I look at other OS's. Many valuable things are hidden below the surface.
Between Linux and illumos there is a big difference between their development philosophies. For me Linux takes now the part of Windows two decades ago: It is heading towards a monoculture with masses of lemmings running with it mostly ignoring superior technology around.
I'm not a big fan of Bitcoin as a long term solution, I consider it little more than a proof of concept. It took a long time for steam engines to outperform horses, and it may take just as long for a crypto-driven economy to emerge that outperforms our current one. But I think it will happen, and those cryptocurrencies--I'm very excited about those.

Re stock: People are already working on blockchain voting mechanisms. Currently you need to own quite a sizeable chunk of a company's stock, and to go rather far out of your way, to actually influence the decision-making of a company you own stock in. Cryptos with on-chain governance, on the other hand, will remove most of that friction.

Re. government: Sure, right now this type of decision making only applies to either protocol design decisions or how to edit transaction history in the event of a problem, but once the proposal-vote-consensus-action pipeline is figured out and trusted, I see no reason it won't start getting applied to the same problems that we keep governments around to solve. So yeah, government bonds are safe nowadays because government's don't have anything to compete with besides other slow inefficient governments, but if people think that a collection of community maintained consensus algorithms are more effective than their government--well I wouldn't want to be holding fiat bonds when that happens, because why pay taxes when you get more bang for your services-for-society buck elsewhere?

As for real estate, just shooting from the hip I'd say that it's 10% real and 90% the game indicated in the article. In a world where large scale behavior of economies can be quickly altered by a vote and a parameter change, I certainly hope we can find a set of parameters that will eliminate the homeowners association and all of the waste associated with placing property resale value over utility. I'd much rather lose out on my "investment" in this house than continue to live in a world where my friends can't afford to live near me because of all the overpriced empty houses in the way--sucking up all the water for their perfectly manicured lawns that nobody touches while the poor kids down the road play on a field of gravel, broken glass, and thistle.

I don't hold much Bitcoin, but I promise that I don't value it because I think I can later dupe somebody into buying it at a higher price.

I value it because it's clumsily paving the way for a world with fewer parisitic middle-man institutions, and the further it gets before it falls over the sooner I'll get to live in that world. I guess that's called investing.
The whole purpose of humans inside bureaucracy is to provide humanity, to subvert/override the systems when that makes sense. If they don't do that, and instead take wage as a motorized application-stanping arm, then they are failing horribly at their job.
There are way more positives than that:

# No money changes hands, so safer for drivers.

# No payment is made in the vehicle, so faster exit times.

# Uber records all trips, so easier to work out costs to expense.

# Uber uses any credit card, so your boss can pay for your ride without the need for separate expensing.

# Driver and passenger are tracked, so there it is easy to find who did what. There are a lot of rape charges and cases against Cabbies.

# Rating - I've been in a LOT of awful, awful cabs.

# Drivers can work 1 hour and make some money. Try that with any other job.
They're asking for this API access for free whereas most customers have to pay. I am not sure Google would cut off API access if they were willing to pay.

My experience with the Places API is that it is terrible. We used to use it for our Internet signup form, and there was no way to restrict the address autocompletion to addresses. So people would hedge a little and only type the street, which Google considers a "place", but obviously we don't know if we have availability on a long street or not (it was a per-building service), so we returned "unavailable" when really the answer was "there is no way we can tell you whether or not there's service there". We looked at some OSM-based solutions and those were just as bad. So I have the feeling that there is some opportunity for a competitor here, perhaps that will be their next project.
I think the photoacoustic effect is at play here. Discovered by Alexander Graham Bell has a variety of applications. It can be used to detect trace gases in gas mixtures at the parts-per-trillion level among other things. An optical beam chopped at an audio frequency goes through a gas cell. If it is absorbed, there's a pressure wave at the chopping frequency proportional to the absorption. If not, there isn't. Synchronous detection (e.g. lock in amplifiers) knock out any signal not at the chopping frequency. You can see even tiny signals when there is no background. Hearing aid microphones make excellent and inexpensive detectors so I think that the mics in modern phones would be comparable.

Contrast this with standard methods where one passes a light beam through a cell into a detector, looking for a small change in a large signal.

Hats off to the Michigan team for this very clever (and unnerving) demonstration.
Any of these tribes could be the next Monaco, which was also in disrepair for centuries

The first step is recognizing the 500+ individual semi-autonomous cultures instead of an amorphous "indigenous peoples"

The next step is releasing maps that show tribal lands as distinct administrative districts, just like Monaco, San Marino, Andorra etc in Europe, but as any other state in the US

They have all autonomy to have their own courts and distinct systems of governance, and the federal government barely leverages its enforcement powers over any of them

Navajo Nation spans 3 states and you need a special map to see it, all while the laws there are completely different including their own business formation statutes. Doesn't make sense this has gone on so long.
Financial aid offices typically offer a lightweight calculator you can run when shopping, and a more intense application you can run in parallel with your application for admission. You get a formal aid offer with your acceptance before you have to commit.

Yes, that's what I do. But then Google Maps on the phone nags you constantly that it should be on.

Removing the nagging would be an immense improvement and proof of commitment to privacy on Google's part.
I made a software that has been in prod for more than a year now (handling licenses for more than 400 customers monthly). The software is self-hosted by the users, and they need a valid license from my website to run it.

I made all the tools to generate and manage licenses for this app.

I wanted to extract the license management part out of this project, and create a new separate product out of it.

My goal was to create exactly what you are looking for: a self-hosting license management tool for personal projects...

I would be willing to talk more about it with you if you are interested.
