I'd like to see a "Local Product" search come out of this.

Allow businesses to integrate their inventory systems with Google so that I can search for a copy of Strictly Turntablized and see that a used CD shop down the street has a copy.

Have the results include how many copies they have on hand, the price of the item, information about how to reserve the item and where I might find it in the store (floor, isle, shelf) if I choose to just run over there.
I'm missing something here. If you collect data up to 48kHz, then there are still 100,000 or so instructions occurring in each sample. Getting from there to breaking RSA should have some explaining.

I went to India last year and an average Indian restaurant meal at a non-high end restaurant was about 200INR for 2 people.

For a group of 8-10 people it was about 1000INR to eat.

On the other hand - if i went out to Dominoes and got a medium pie which basically only fed me - it cost 300-400INR. Quite the price difference. I noticed that most families got the single serve pizza and split it with their kids which cost about 50INR (that was the size of a personal pan pizza).
No, it is intended to be specific advice on how to temporarily treat symptoms of a condition. It could be incorporated into a larger therapy. For example, aspirin or acetamenophen products are used to quickly relieve a fever. Do you snap at people who offer these, because they don't treat the underlying problem (a viral infection)?

All of his demands are either directly related to his health or the moral causes that he champions. He is specific and verbose.

Some of these things might seem strange to people who are younger than 50 years old, and aren't flown around the world to give hundreds of talks.

I think that this demonstrates the value of a clear and verbose contract.
"It's both radically underspecified and overfitted."

He used a perfect model (of a hypothetical world) which had exactly the right parameters, and then he calibrated it using exactly correct data.

So I don't see how this could be underspecified or overfitted. Can you please explain?

"The information-theoretic argument demonstrate that a model cannot exactly match the reality unless it's as complex as the reality."

In this case he defined his model to be reality.

I realize my comment is a bit harsh, but I learned two decades ago to stop tailoring my résumé to the obsessive desires of a recruiter or an HR manager or a particular interviewer. It's akin to me trying to constantly adapt my personality to everyone's quirks so that I'm liked or just to keep from pissing them off.

This is who I am. Take it or leave it. If you can't find the technical goodies in my résumé, we're probably both better off if I'm working down the road with someone else.

RE your first point, you're sort of correct. Courts can award treble damages for willful and wanton infringement of a patent. Courts don't award treble damages willy nilly; they seem to award them when you intentionally rip off somebody's patent. Even if you know of another's patent rights, if you have a good faith claim as to why/how your patent doesn't infringe, and if you have a solid opinion letter from counsel, you generally won't get hit with increased damages, even if you lose the underlying suit.

RE software, I'd tend to agree with you. The original post makes the case that all patents are bad though, and that they specifically prevent that transmittal of knowledge. That's really what I was responding to.
The most interesting part comes when they start indexing these images so that you can search products (and prices) within stores. The tech is mostly there (see google goggles).

Then you can answer the question "Where's the closest store with jumper cables?" Or really, "show me where the jumper cables are."

A very big map reduce job, but seems feasible.
Your indentation is breaking the line wrapping. Please edit this if you see it in time; it's a nice comment that deserves proper typesetting.
I have a list of patents I have 'invented' and were filed by previous employers and this has got me jobs - but on the basis that I 'understand about patents', not because they specifically wanted them (since I don't own them)

The problem with filing the patents personally is that it's expensive to do and astronomically expensive to defend them. That's the real problem with patents today - they have become a May Day parade of tanks used to impress the enemy with how powerful you are.
Now we stayed about decent hotels time to time on our travels and the cost varied as well. We stayed at a decent hotel (probably 2-3star - not even) in mumbai and that cost us 2000INR a night; in goa we paid about 1200INR a night for even a crappier room but it had AC. But on average a hotel room cost about 1000INR/night. If we stayed at a high-end we would pay 5000+INR a night.
In my opinion, the fact that 15-year-old code is floating about and still relevant should be something to appreciate.
First and foremost: There is no way to "move on" from Perl 5 to Perl 6. Perl 6 is a completely different language at this point and more akin to what Ruby tried to be, back when it was made, in respect to Perl 5.

And well, with the pace Perl 6 is moving on it'll be another decade for it to become production-usable. There may be only 5% of the feature-set missing (maybe more, maybe less, i don't keep track), but those 5% are the hardest part, and then comes the task of making all that run fast and to bundle it up, etc. etc. I wouldn't hold my breath. Also see chromatic's writings on that matter:

3. For a limited time? 20 years is pretty much forever in the software industry. So sure you might start to look at alternative ways, but it can be quite hard when the obvious solution is patented. But often the patent attempts to cover the most general idea possible, so your entirely different implementation of the idea might still be infringing the patent.

But the main problem with software patents in particular is that you can never be sure if you're infringing something. You can only hope that you don't.

There is a subset of Perl one can get a sense of by reading the Camel book in order which is sane, readable, and effective. If you read Wall's explanations and justifications you get a great mental model on top of which the "weird" stuff makes sense and feels even natural.

Most criticisms I read focus on how dealing with legacy Perl is typically bad because it was written poorly. The thing is, I've read legacy PHP, legacy Python, and other "legacy" code that was just as terrible.

The new Perl code I work with, though, written by my colleagues, is every bit as elegant and readable as code in any other language - provided thoughtful people are writing it.

Perl has a bad rep but I have yet to see a single legitimate argument thrown at it which doesn't boil down to "I read some bad legacy code." I've been in the same boat, and believe me, I sympathize :)

I don't see how your post is a response to mine.

My point was that OP complains they can't change what users are searching for. I assert they can, but they have to change the way they market and talk about their language. They need to present it as markedly different and give users a way to differentiate it in search from previous versions.

(Aside: I don't use Perl. I don't want to use Perl. The things I need to get done I can accomplish in other languages, and that are clear when I look at the code six months later.)

>If i were to restrict myself to searching only the past 5 years of produced Perl code on CPAN i would be hard-pressed to find truly terrible samples.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "truly terrible samples". If you mean "things the thread-OP couldn't understand" then I would be surprised if your statement is correct. Was the example he provided from CPAN?

>I said language, not virtual machine.

People are doing "crazy" things in every language. Including porting them to the JVM so they can use the whole body of Java libraries (which is more than what's on CPAN btw).

>When does Ruby plan to have Roles?

I'm not a ruby guy but ruby has mixins which fill the same niche (even if they probably behave a little differently to accomplish it).

>Trouble setting up perl, good one, pal.

It depends. If I'm on a modern Linux, sure, if it's not already there I can apt-get it. That's not always the case though.

>That was written as a joke

It's taken from http://pages.github.com. It said
"Remember that it may take up to a full day for DNS changes to propagate, so be patient."

- rvm use

I use newest rvm and it's work even without rvm use. Maybe it's execute it after installing.

- Why bundle install and THEN bundle update

Because Ubuntu Oneiric have newest version for liquid and rake which conflict with Octopress.

I create ticket here about this issue :

And it's have solved now.

Thanks for your detail correction :)
It's a matter of physical security and not allowing random people with specialty tools near the sensitive hardware (which is applicable to all other side channel attacks). Depending on the amount of access and tools, an attacker could just power-saw a side of the case off (along with all that epoxy) and hook up into the USB power rail.

Though obviously that is not very discreet. I wonder if "a very precise voltmeter" can fit inside of a non-suspicious looking USB device...

I've never read GNU's Linux FAQ that I can remember, but this section is interesting in light of the GNU kernel's history:

Question: Isn't writing the kernel most of the work in an operating system?

Answer: No, many components take a lot of work.

If I recall correctly, work on the GNU kernel began in the mid-80's (HURD in 1990?). I'll leave the correlation to the reader.

Well, having a standardized public inventory systems would be more to the point. The tech is obviously there, but I'm sure not many businesses would be onboard.
On the other hand, being able to share links to products in a specific store may have interesting effects. Imagine someone writing a Facebook post about dress they found, and linking directly to it in the store. Or some viral twitter post. Once that happens a few times, stores will be paying companies to keep their interior up to date on Google.

When I lived in Leeds I used to attend the Open Coffee meetings (monthly) and the BarCamps (annually), where people would talk about start-ups and start-up events, so you could target these meetings (if they are still going). I doubt you could target students directly without appearing to be spammers.

You (perhaps collectively with other roundabouters) could try holding some sort of competition for students. I am sure academics at universities would help to promote something like that to their students and you would be able to see which students are capable of building things and getting things done, i.e. which are potential hires. It could also expose students to the types of work, and the style of working, that occurs at a start-up.

Feersum in the Wild: Perl’s Evented Web Server
Great discussion! The author doesn't seem to introduce the concept of training/testing datasets which absolutely critical to obtaining any reasonable model. So I don't buy the author's thesis that economic models are always wrong.

The solution to the hypothetical problem posed in the article is to separate the historical dataset into training and testing groups. The models should be generated while only 'seeing' the training data. You will, as the author mentioned, get many models that appear to fit the data. Most of these models will be garbage.

The fun part is when the testing data is introduced against the many models generated above. Most of the models will completely bomb, but a handful may actually predict the previously 'unseen' testing data with high accuracy. Those few models which pass the testing stage are the ones worth their salt.

Due to the self-aware nature of the markets, successful models probably will not be true indefinitely, but it's very possible they may be true long enough to be profitable. The less known your successful models are, the longer they will be successful predictors of the market. Hence why successful quant funds are notoriously secretive with their approaches. Open source would never work in finance.

A lot of his talks are likely to be to universities/user groups who have never organised a talk before - so 'remember a microphone' is useful!

This is from a few years ago (ie recording on tape) so GNU/FSF/Linux may not have been as mainstream and organisers might have only advertised this as a computer department seminar rather than a large event.

This is wonderful, in so many different ways. I've read quite a bit of the FSF material--which is invariably specific, clear and verbose--and it's interesting to read material in the same style, but about a completely different topic.

For example, under "Hospitality":

"In some places, my hosts act as if my every wish were their command. By catering to my every whim, in effect they make me a tyrant over them, which is not a role I like. I start to worry that I might subject them to great burdens without even realizing. I start being afraid to express my appreciation of anything, because they would get it and give it to me at any cost. If it is night, and the stars are
beautiful, I hesitate to say so, lest my hosts feel obligated to try to get one for me."
