Like many, this article fails to point out that the German model would fail if it were applied equally everywhere.

From a macroeconomic perspective, Germany is "successful" because it kept real wages low relative to other Eurozone countries. In the old times this would have lead to a strong appreciation of the Mark. This balancing out via exchange rates is no longer possible within the Euro, which is why German exports are priced very competitively in the international market. This leads to high German net exports, while the Eurozone as a whole has a more or less balanced international trade.

It is immediately obvious, though, that not every country can be a net exporter. Somebody has to be a net importer, and so Germany cannot be taken as a role model for the world as a whole.

The other dark side of the German approach is that it makes the internal imbalances in the Eurozone, and hence the crisis, worse, and the majority of the German population doesn't really profit from it as real wages have been stagnant and even decreasing for the last decade or so.
We will never know. They control too much with their bribery.
To be honest I didn't see the video but even if he said that he should be "punched" for the reasons where he bases his opinion and not the opinion itself (unless "innovation" is a divine truth that we must accept no matter what - DDT was innovative at its time but it was no good). Moreover the transcript reads:
“With software patents the US has become a dangerous place for software development, including innovative software development, because when a program is innovative, that means it has some new ideas in it. But it also has lots of well-known ideas in it. A large program combines thousands of ideas. So if you have some new ideas and you want to use them, in order to use them you have to combine them with a lot of other ideas that are well-known. And if you are not allowed to do that because those other ideas are patented, you can’t use your new idea,” not exactly hostile to innovation.

Anyway - he is Stallman and he's known for not being extra diplomatic or even smart at politics. Like you, he speaks the way he feels - point is that IMHO there is a growing problem with all the data that we - FB users - carelessly upload.

(Moreover I'm not convinced that FB has all that much to do with innovation any more but that's an entirely different conversation.)

PS: Sorry if I sounded hostile but the unabomber reference drove me mad. My bad.

PS2: this was supposed to be an answer to a comment that's not there any more - anyway.
Good answer, I'm in a similar boat in some ways.

I would be more concerned about the "viral" nature of the GPL (I assume this applies to AGPL as well) i.e I would be happy to use AGPL code in my application and release any modifications I make (or create AGPL code and have others do the same for me) but there are parts of my applications that I really wouldn't want to have to release (because they are very industry specific and would be useful to competitors without modification and not useful at all to the general populance).

A similar license but one based on LGPL would be preferable.
-2 points for making a silly joke combined with a legitimate question? really guys?
Ideal approach to running one of these services is to front a site that actually uses Captchas, ideally in significant volume, and then just _pass through_ the captchas being sent by others needing them to be solved.

Say you run a site that has 1000 users/minute authenticating, that means you actually have 1000/captchas/minute being solved - may as well sell those users (unwittingly performed) time.
If the like button is hosted on Facebook, your browser requests it from there when you visit the page. So the site doesn't have to do anything except include an img tag with a Facebook url in it; everything else is a consequence of how the internet works.

More to the point, where were they between SOPA/PIPA and the last big internet bill? I only hear things from the EFF when someone is out to destroy our freedoms. Why aren't they using the same process to buy internet-friendly legislation? It would be nice to have a roadblock in front of the the next SOPA.
ptrace() lets you read a word at a time per syscall (slowwww), presumably /proc/pid/mem allows mmap'ing full regions in a single syscall.
"Liberty", though, also means that the price is zero. You can have free (as in beer) but not liberty software, but you can't have liberty software that is not free as in beer.

I.e you can sell the software, but anyone you sell it too has the right to just give it away for free.

What is and how to use effectively Autoboxing
A lot of legitimate copyright ownership depends on the ability to assign copyright. It varies by work and by jurisdiction, but the default copyright holder (by statute) is not always the party it should be. In the US, for instance, a corporation's identity might belong by default to the designer, such that they may be able to register trademarks but be prevented from using them freely without copyright assignment. In Canada, the commissioner, not the creator, of a work holds copyright by default, so contracts of commission for things like portraits and weddings photos usually include a copyright assignment clause. (That's actually an improvement over the previous state of affairs, in which the photographer would have to hire the subject as a model for a nominal fee in one contract, then have another contract for purchase and use of the work.)

I suppose you could legislate the general condition, but there will always be edge cases. Unfortunately, allowing for edge cases is going to result in abuse.
> 1) If you are busy protesting by blocking a street this causes you inconvenience

You only have a finite amount of bandwidth, and you have to decide how much to use for DDOS and how much for your own use, so, in a way, the analogy of street blocking still holds there.

You have to do extra work to opt out of Facebook tracking, though. At least your IP address will be tracked everywhere if you don't block Facebook somehow.
You are correct about the AGPL, just be careful with wording it like "everything that it touches".

Yeah, sorry. I think that was a poor choice of words on my part.

For instance, if you have a website that uses AGPL code to produce an HTML page and non-AGPL code to provide a PDF from that HTML page, the two packages would indeed touch, but there would be no obligation to release the non-AGPL code, just the AGPL code.

Interesting, in your example, if your application calls the AGPL code that is used to generate the HTML wouldn't your application also have to be released under the AGPL? Or do you only have to make available the AGPL "HTML generation library" and the changes you have made to it (if any)?

I thought that it had already been established that if you use a library under the GPL any code that uses/calls that library must be released under the GPL. The only reason companies can use GPL code server side is because it is not run on the user's machine (technically not "releasing it"), which was the basis for the creation of the AGPL, to "fix" this "loophole".

edit:

Thanks skore, yeah I think your example still stands. Specifically, in the wikipedia article you linked this part:

By contrast, pipes, sockets and command-line arguments are communication mechanisms normally used between two separate programs.

To continue the original example, if your program just runs the HTML generation program and supplies user data via a command line argument then it need not be released under a compatible license. But on the other hand if you were to "copy and paste" the functions from that program into yours, it would need to be licensed under a compatible license.
I've been doing this for a long time, it's the only way I can stay sane. I get several hours to myself with no interruptions and I can work on personal projects and be totally unaccountable to anyone.

Keeping real wages low is not the whole story. In fact the are not lower than most of Europe, although they are probably lower than the counterfactual of no euro. But it is productivity, and being in the right markets, and having the right infrastructure of companies in the same types of business that has worked, along with education and many other factors.

Sure not every country can always be a net exporter, but many simply do not have competitive businesses in traded goods and services, and will end up either in debt, or with huge falls in real wages and living standards.

The presented vulnerabilities is so easy to exploit mostly because distros do not compile `su` with PIE and lose the ability to hide memory addresses with ASLR. Just few days ago there has been a discussion about how PIC/PIE is only a performance loss and should not be present in modern Unix systems.

It's a complicated problem.

Essentially, employee wages and production control (by compelling arduous hours upon workers) wins out en masse. The free market system is what it is, and this is what it leads to. Jobs will go to whoever can do them cheaper, better, faster. I don't know much about "better", but cheaper and faster is definitely an advantage to the Chinese people.

To be fair though, if we honestly believe that everyone's life is of equal value, then should the work not go to those who need it most? Those who live in countries where a factory job is the height of what they can hope to achieve? It's our obligation, as those who have the opportunity, to pursue the jobs that aren't available to the world's starving people.

Off the top of my head, around 500k-1M people are now involved in developing phone applications. This is a whole industry that did not exist 5 years ago. American economists would rejoice that as a nation, the US is getting involved in higher value proposition jobs at the expense of losing commoditized, low-barrier-of-entry work. Of course, the measurement of human suffering to by those who cannot or will not transition gets lost in the shuffle.
I've seen the BBC and other western media quoting some random unknown Chinese or Russian intellectual and giving them the world stage because they agreed with the western perspective on China or Russia.
I like the Noun Project, and I think it's cool, but I doubt its utility at the moment. For example, they have an icon for 'Kiwi', but none for 'Save'?

Edit: They DO have several for 'Upload' and several different ones for 'Download'.
> Who are our Jews and Gypsies? Where is our Kristallnacht? Where is our Triumph of the Will? Where is our 'Der Ewige Jew'? Where are our massive crowds doing what is our sieg heil?

Fortunately the situation nowadays still is different in many points. However consider that several hundred thousands Iraqis have died for no good reason at all. That two countries are under military occupation.

The main contrast, as you mentioned, is people utter apathy. Instead of rabid nazis, we're seeing only paralysed sheep; instead of angry people wanting revenge from the entire world (read about the treaty of Versailles), we have frightened people afraid of losing their material comfort.

That doesn't make ACTA and other similar laws any better, unfortunately. Now more than ever westerners look like Elois under the control of Morlocks.
Well, visiting your grandmother could be "the worst cover in the history of espionage", but we are used to be fed with tired bad covers. Like the whole hoopla about WMD and Saddam.

This means that one cannot anymore trust something that looks like a total amateur lie to NOT be a lie, thinking that "if they wanted to lie they would have found a better excuse", since they don't really seem to bother anymore.

(Surprisingly, the reverse is also problematic. That is, even if the politicians bothered to only use perfectly crafted covers, then a cover such as this would be good, because of the public thinking "surely, they are not as dumb to use such a crappy cover, so it must be true" effect).
> The only way to find out is a vote. Lets vote on copyright.

Voting on morality is not a good idea. I refer you the common persons understanding of morality in the past centuries.

The moral strides we have made in the past came from reasoning about morality and imagining ourselves in the position of somebody else.

Exploiting a minority to serve a majority is an expected outcome of collectivized morality, but not one that anybody should wish to gain.
Looks interesting.

Yes, the German export industry has been heavily subsidized by the monetary structure of the eurozone. This is paid for by the guarantees of the various bailout funds (hastily-constructed EFSF, to be replaced by permanent ESM), which are mostly backed by German and French taxpayer money.

I wonder whether politicians understood the implications of monetary union one decaded ago - their dealings with it really look genuinely clueless. I am pretty sure the export industry did.

I think my example holds because it would be possible to replace either part of the process without the other one failing. That would be the argument by dependency.

Wikipedia has a pretty good section on the more broad legal background:

Of course, there is no 'viral' nature of the GPL, please don't spread FUD like that. The fact that your licenses have to be legally compatible and thus using GPL code in your software can be a restriction that benefits using more free licenses yourself does not equal a viral infection. The same would be true for proprietary licenses, just in a different direction.

A similar license based on the LGPL wouldn't make sense. The LGPL is basically the GPL with an addition that says that you don't have to be that strict on what license the software you use it in uses.
I was comparing the US and the EU because of a similar size. When you have 160 parties representing the views of 500 Million Europeans, it is very unlikely that having merely 2 parties representing the views of 300 million Americans is a natural, healthy state of affairs. The EU is of course not a role model for democracy, but it shows that the lack of diversity in US politics can not be a natural outcome of US voting habits. The lack of diversity (and thus lack of democracy) is fully intentional.
Amazing, how discussion involving that person bring out people failing to see things in context, some absolutist blindness.

I think 'Save' is just infinitely harder to visualize than 'Download'. There is precisely one meaning of 'Download' (moving data over the internet onto a device). I could go on and on about how many different meanings 'Save' has (remember how kids these days don't know what that 'floppy' icon even means?).

Beyond pure Prolog: Power and danger
> 2-3 sentences of honest appreciation

Personally I disagree. If I want to help a user, I want to get down the the problem ASAP, not filter through unrelated content. A thankyou and appreciative tone is definitely nice, and I wouldn't give much regard to someone with a rude tone, but I would probably ditch an email that has lines filled with "thankyou thankyou ...". I am actually amazed how affective emoticons can be in this regard.
Agree. I think it's key to have passion/love for the overall goal, and realize that day to day I'm going to have to do a lot of stuff that's not fun. The passion for the overall goal motivates me to do the non-fun stuff.
Sure.

1) You go to 2 wars with the dumbest of excuses by the dumbest of presidents in order for some mega-corps in the industrial-military complex to profit.

-- said president probably got elected due to electoral fraud in the first place, anyway--

2) You have para-police security personnel do naked scans of you and cup your genitals in airpots.

3) You have laws that invalidate due process, like the Patriot Act.

4) You have mass electronic surveillance, security agencies installing backdoors in public platforms, etc.

5) You give ~ 1 trillion dollar bailout to mass financial companies that brought the economy to a halt through deregulation and greed.

6) They try to pass 2-3 laws (PIPA, SOPA, ACTA) to control the internet, including censoring whole websites.

and "there is no evidence of this". Except in my head. Right.

How is this head-in-the-sand thing working for you?
The webpage doesn't send IP address, your browser contacts facebook for the icon and hence sends IP address and cookies to facebook, in the same way that image hotlinking would work.

Remember it's not just IP address, but could be cookies. Facebook can set a cookie that will be stored in your browser and will be sent to facebook each time. So if your laptop moves around, then the facebook cookie follows you.

Since this is at the browser level there are browser extensions that will block this for you if you want.
One of the advice I had been given (from a person who was a good speaker) was that it is important to control our breathing while speaking. One gets into habit of uttering Ums etc, when one is out of breath. So pausing where appropriate, speaking slowly and not getting into the practice of long winding sentences would help.
Build a production schedule geared around low budget genre films, produced in 12 days and costing an average of $35,000 a piece. Ideally you'd be releasing 50 - 75 films a year.

Interesting. I greatly enjoy tacky high school / college movies (think American Pie, Superbad, Fired up!, that kinda thing), and I would love if there were a LOT more of those on the market. I can't imagine that they are very expensive to make either.
Deceptively hard to answer.
* Cost of living varies a lot.
* London is kind of a country in its own right.
* Commuting in the UK can be £5k or more.

If you compare to the national average salary for full-time employees (which is around £32k) then most programmers are well paid.

I really want an answer to this too. I just graduated, am nearly broke so I need my first job. However, I have several ideas for a startup that I want to implement soon, I'm at the point where I can have a working business within a couple months. The problem is that I know getting a startup to the point where you can live off of it will take much longer, thus I NEED a real job, and want the startup just to be a few hours a week on the side for the next couple years. However, this startup is my life dream, I don't care if I can't live off of it but I need to get it out there and see what happens at least, and I am pretty sure I would turn down a job if it prevented me from doing that. So I'm kind of stuck if companies will truly demand me to turn over any programming that I do during my employment with them.

By embedding some sticky content, such as a html5/flash game, with the DDOS script running in the background, you'll quickly multiply the impact.
My friend going to law school said she can study for 4-5 hours in a row, fully focused. But then she needs a break, for 2 hours ideally. Then she can do another 4-5 hours. After that, another break. Usually she can do a third 4-5 hours. That's 12-15 hours of full-focus time per day, which to me sounds like a ton.

That's true but with a physical protest you don't have that choice, you pretty much have to be all in (not to mention putting yourself at risk of physical harm by counter protesters or police etc).
