IP assignment in software development contracts
I looked into different software development agreements and my question is about the (work for hire) clause as I read that it might not work in some cases. opinions are to add an Intellectual Property assignment clause in case the (work for hire) didn't work. I was wondering if we shall include an IP assignment or an irrevocable exclusive license worldwide, which is better? can we include both. can anyone provide sample clause or contract?
Penn State has a bunch of their graduate stats courses online [1]. I worked through some of their time series class [2] and found it to be pretty good quality.

Good question, since I also use SBCL and Clozure CL (and Armed Bear when I need Java interop).

LispWorks has a very nice portable UI library. That was the selling point for me.
Ouch that is confusing. And no, I haven't added these details to documentation yet. This is a bit of an issue at the moment, having everything return in one format is the right thing to do.

Will be addressing this in the near future - thanks!
I'm a huge fan, and it seems to be finding commercial success[1]. What it does well for me is preserve kubernetes concepts, but expose them in a way that's easier to manage from an admin standpoint. I learned kube through OpenShift - and was able to ramp up quickly enough to manage our internal application as an engineer.

it's more like the police actually gave fines for it, and fighting a fine is a hassle. (in particular now, I don't think really can, probably have to wait fo re-opening).
its just kubernetes for redhat shops, so it will be roughly as popular as redhat enterprise and ibm services contracts. which is to say, probably billions in revenue, and yet no one on HN will touch it.
Thank you for pointing it out. In addition to false-positives... it would really suck if a LED died, or a speaker died, and suddenly a critical alarm isn't going off. Redundancies upon redundancies are critical for these systems. The not cheap for a reason.
The stock market is perfectly accurately representing the fact that every world leader and everyone filling their pockets have so much wealth invested in the assumption of the stock market increasing that no-matter the reality, every government in the world will print money and do everything in their power to keep the stocks valuable even while the companies they represent stakes in go bankrupt.

Particularly interesting how high were the officials who appeared to be interested in setting up Gen. Flynn

>"...
Notice that in Ruemmler’s letter she specifically says the January 5th meeting was about Flynn:

[Feb 23, 2018] The memorandum to file drafted by Ambassador Rice memorialized an important national security discussion between President Obama and the FBI Director and the Deputy Attorney General.

President Obama and his national security team were justifiably concerned about potential risks to the Nation’s security from sharing highly classified information about Russia with certain members of the Trump transition team, particularly Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

> […] While serving as National Security Advisor, Ambassador Rice was not briefed on the existence of any FBI investigation into allegations of collusion between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia, and she later learned of the fact of this investigation from Director Comey’s subsequent public testimony.

I think Racket might be worth you spending one or two evening with, to see if you like it. It has an OK IDE, and a rich ecosystem.
In layman's terms, it's like saying when your life insurance pays out $1M you have a 2500000% return on that month's $40 payment. It's not wrong, but if that's the only number you look at you'll always conclude that buying insurance is the road to riches.
There are really two major pieces of the BEAM, the parts implemented in Erlang (e.g. the compiler, OTP), and the parts implemented in C (the VM, or emulator as it is called in the codebase). Virtually all of the C code is undocumented in any meaningful way, short of some internal documentation on a handful of topics, as well as a those parts of the code which have thorough comments that explain some tricky aspect of the implementation.

From my own experience, those parts that are commented or documented tend to clarify some specific design constraints (for example, why processes have multiple locks on different parts, and why they are locked in a specific order, or the rationale of the carrier design); but you never really get a clear picture of why things overall are architected the way they are overall, what designs were considered and discarded due to some deficiency, what tradeoffs were made, etc. I think much of the actual content like that which may exist, is either buried in the minds of the original engineers, or in some internal documentation at Ericsson that has never been released. My suspicion is that you'd need to dig through mountains of emails and such to piece together a more complete picture of how things where put together over time.

It's also the fact that the BEAM just has a lot of really complex pieces built in to it after all this time. Everything from binary pattern matching and construction, to garbage collection and memory management, ETS, Mnesia, etc. Each one of those things is not only non-trivial, but have evolved significantly over time, through the hands of many engineers. It also doesn't help that large portions of the C implementation are written in an extremely macro heavy style, which makes it quite hard to read without knowing what all the macros do and how they play together.

Projects like Enigma, or Lumen, have a lot to give back to the community in the form of documenting how these pieces are built. Unfortunately, the lack of a specification for the Erlang language and its runtime, means it is very much a grind to work out how things are currently implemented, and why.

Hey jetpackjoe, sorry about that. It has been fixed and you can post to that email now. I tried it myself with an external email.
Why are we talking about closed beaches? We were talking about people with symptoms of appendicitis who choose to stay away from the hospital that is very much open for such cases.

Closing the beaches is frankly idiotic, but postponing elective surgery isn't. It's not wise to go in for a breast enlargement when an epidemic is on the move. With an appendicitis, on the other hand, you don't have a choice.
also, even if compliance was enforced, at best, the apps can only track phones. For example, I leave my phone at home by mistake all the time...
I had to deal with it past 2 years - it is extremely bloated, not very well thought out and anything that needs decently performing storage is screwed over by GlusterFS and now I guess Ceph. All in all you really want to carefully analyze which apps you want to put on it and how much benefit you are really getting out of it - because it isn't free in any sense of the word - licensing, maintenance, operations - you are adding a crap ton of complexity and giving developers more ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

[Wow, looks like we have OpenShift fans here. Still, I prefer leaving the f out of OpenShift like everyone who has actually worked on it trying to get complex apps running smoothly :)]

Maybe not, but a properly tuned and lubricated bike is waaaayyyyy more pleasant to ride and may help to encourage increased bike use. It's easier to do stuff when it's pleasant.
> Completely client based. No server is required within the OpenShift cluster for deployment.

So I do need a OpenShift cluster then? Confusing.
Don't buy cheap air pumps. Those things need to be strong to last. They handle a lot of pressure. A 10€ air pump will break at the first fall and most have small bases so they tip easily. And when they break you must buy a new one.

If you really use it, a 25€ pump will cost you way less over as little as 3 years.
To be fair, some newspapers did checked the information (like Libération's fact-checking service, CheckNews.fr – so did NextINpact, that are quite specialised in those kind of governement overreach), but it wasn't clear if that kind of decision was part of a reasonable interpretation of the law by the minister.

The Conseil d’État clarified that it wasn't.

I'm the hacker behind the Open Source Mouse Repo.

I still have some ADNS2620 sensors in my stash (yes, that was a typo that is now fixed). Look into the readme and see that there is a company called PixArt that seems to be the only source for some of these parts. I did get a bite (mouse bite?) from their rep at the time of the OSHWA Summit 2 years ago, but they went crickets. This project could get resurrected if there is a replacement sensor chip. I kind of like the Arduino Leonardo + ADNS sensor, and not interested in just a breakout of an 'all in one' mouse sensor.

If yer interested in getting a full kit or an ADNS sensor, please comment on the github issue tab https://github.com/biomurph/Mouse/issues/7

Serverless Stream-Based Processing for Real-Time Insights
Makes sense—thank you! I'll add that in.
I would like to recommend that after reading PG's On Lisp, that you also consider Doug Hoyt's Let Over Lambda. Both are really great books for advanced study.
>And so, for all the threat faced by the office, there is also cause for optimism about its future. These days the “hyper-physical…is so cherished,” notes Heatherwick. [...], all those desks and all those people, all that bustle and time-wasting, have their benefits.

Humans need offices. Online encounters may be keeping us alive as social beings right now, but work-related video meetings are too often transactional, awkward and unappealing. After the initial joy of peering into each other’s houses on Zoom, we are confronted with people’s heads looming even closer than we see them across the desk at work, and we gaze in horror – half of it self-awareness that we, too, must look awful – at thinning hair and double chins. We become freakish specimens rather than people. No Skype chat can replicate what Heatherwick calls the “chemistry of the unexpected” that you get in person. [...] Because what moves us is not sitting at our computer, it’s the relationship that we have with people.”

Although I've been 100% remote for more than a decade and love the freedom and flexibility, I still don't think this COVID-19 crisis will kill offices and commuting as much as some workers hope for.

Today's telecommuting technologies like videoconferencing, screen sharing, virtual whiteboards, etc are still not seamless and fluid enough.

Therefore, some companies (especially young startups) that have high degree of collaboration will continue to work in offices to outcompete the companies that are 100% remote.

Yes, onsite collaboration in offices is overstated but maybe productivity of working at home is overstated as well. As a random observation, I find it interesting that TV show writers' rooms (including weekly dramas and comedy skits) will all get into the same office to hash out a show. Why do they do that if remote tech like videoconferencing can replace in-person interaction?
This €50 subsides is a fantasy from Cycling Weekly. No announcement was made by any local or national public authority, and no sign in the French news about this. Love from Paris anyway.
Interesting from Einhorn
I think this is exactly it. A lot of people have bikes already but they're a little run down and this might be the encouragement they need to get them fixed.

The fact is that most people can't do even the simplest repairs on their own bike and if their bike is run down then they're less likely to use it.

Blockchain is good for permission-less financial innovation including raising funds. It doesn't matter if the SEC considers a digital asset a security if everything is offshore and the purchasers are offshore or anonymous. It is a financial network without regulation.

Regulation can pierce areas of the network that interface with physical entities, just as regulators can regulate pieces of the internet they can control but lack capabilities around the darknet. This is what blockchain is - purely digital and open financial networks.
The question I have yet to see posed is "How would society be experiencing the common flu if it had never existed before and this is the first time it jumps to humans?"

The first year you see an airborne transmissible disease is likely to be the worst regardless of the disease. The big problem I see is that we're comparing the common flu in its herd immunity steady state to the coronavirus in its first year.

Once coronavirus settles into its steady state, we will be able to compare it to the flu, apples to apples.

That being said, assuming the flu and coronavirus at steady state is approximately comparable, would it justified to react to the flu in its first year the same way we're reacting to the coronavirus in its first year? If we know there will be a modest spike in the first year that mostly claims the infirm and becoming endemic is unavoidable, is it worth doing the damage we're doing to the economy.

That this is going to become endemic and likely reach steady state in a year or two (possibly longer depending on how long we retard reaching that point with lockdowns varying from geography to geography) is at this point a foregone conclusion because not every country has the natural borders of New Zealand and can completely kill this off. It will bounce back and forth between the northern and southern hemisphere indefinitely at this point until herd immunity.

I think the biggest issue here is barrier to entry. The barrier to entry is so low in eCommerce. The required skills are not that difficult to obtain, you don't need years of schooling, you don't need to know how to code, you don't need much of anything. For most people the level of competition is obscene because of how easy it is to get into. It's extremely difficult to reach the top tier because of the unreal amount of competition and very little competitive advantage available to leverage. I look at it the same as I do with YouTube and Social Media Influencers. Incredibly easy to start, incredibly difficult to "Make it".
Dalio is a really good salesman though, have to give him credit.
The conservation of energy, specifically, is a misleading analogy. If you want an energy-related analogy, I think you will find a better one in entropy (especially given its close relationship to information.)
That's interesting but those endpoints seem cherry-picked given the strategy.
