Ironically, what do the best libraries traditionally contain? Works created by highly educated individuals.

Yes, you will always have your pulp fiction, but if a library's job is to disseminate knowledge to the masses, doesn't that make libraries reliant on a source to develop that knowledge?
OOps. Just fixed it.
Maybe I'm just an armchair observer here, but why didn't someone like Kim Dotcom move to a more protected location? With that kind of cash I'm sure he could've earned some favors from a military dictatorship in Fiji, or a country so small that his revenues could've easily eclipsed their GDP. Iceland? Tuvalu? Burkina Faso? There's lots to choose from.

I definitely didn't write any HTML, CSS, or javascript in college, but I feel like I use algorithmic analysis stuff from there at least once an hour. Data structure stuff I use a bit less often, because I'm usually just using what I've been given by some framework - but if I have some huge bizarre piece of state that I'm passing around, knowing how to structure it or find what I want in it efficiently comes in handy.

Those things were a bit of a terror to learn in class, whereas the basics of HTML took a day or two, the basics of CSS took a good week or two to completely get my head around, and the worst part about javascript was getting my head around a C looking language that didn't behave at all like C. All of this was stuff I couldn't help picking up because I had to complete projects for money. Understanding how a O(n log n) algorithm looked or how fast something was going to fill up all of my ram would not have been something I learned on my own without years of experience of benchmarking and debugging, without school.

edit: I do share the experience of the author of not using any language that I used in college, since college. That's certainly not the fault of the languages, C++ and Java, which are still probably the most widely used outside of the web (well, servlets, but I hated Java.) But if it had been a .NET college teaching me how to automate Excel, I may have killed myself, though I have collected paychecks for doing just that, since.
Source is done and packagers for Linux are doing builds now.
Over consumption
These are strange ideas.

Apple was a computer company until they brought out the iPod. I believe that about 80% of their income now comes from non-computer products - with an emphasis on entertainment.

Running windows was critical to Apple's acceptance at the time they switch from power pc to intel processors because of Microsoft's dominance of the computer market. Bootcamp allowed Apple to sell into the PC space - without which they would not have been able to overshadow Microsoft.

Just think back about 5 years.

And why should they bother supporting Linux? Read Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham
There are some DIY-ish journals in some areas as well, in addition to preprint archives. The top-ranked machine-learning journal is now run on an annual budget of $0, on volunteer labor, print-on-demand publishing, and MIT server space: http://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/

Way too many parenthetical blocks, and it seems to jump around a lot. Frankly, it reads a bit like an amphetamine-powered 48th hour rant. I think you were arguing for the consumption of masses of information, but the style of this post pretty much proved the opposite to me.

since my suggestion was downvoted, let me explain....

In every country, there is a fear of foreigners coming in to "take our jobs." A foreign businessman needs to be careful because any grants will be subject to the government having to deal with this fear. That doesn't mean don't take government contracts. But it does mean that if you are going to apply for government grants, you really want a national doing this for you.

A second thing to think about is the problem of crony capitalism (think of no-bid Haliburton contracts in Iraq or former bank executives bailing out their buddies--- this is not that different in the US but is often more obvious in other countries). In general if you have good contacts, you can get good grants and contracts. If you do not, you cannot. As a foreigner you probably don't esp, if you are lured in with the hopes of government money.

This is really a matter of being risk adverse. Only go for government help when you have the contacts to make it work effectively.
This is a bug then. Can you file a bugreport or mail me?
Given the skyrocketing costs of university education, I would think that there was a lot of waste to be found there.

Still I agree with another commenter. The real issue is why we spend so much money subsidizing corporations as well as our foreign adventures and the drug war. All of which are not sustainable in the long run.
> Wrong. It puts you in another "Space".

Again, I do not consider this to be "functionality", but a bug. Spaces were and continue to be very much a pro feature which most common users do not understand. To shove it down everyone's throat when they think they are just making a window bigger is pretty bad UI. Notice the name of the feature is "full screen", not "new space that behaves different than every other space by being exclusive to one app". In fact, to higlight this, it sometimes doesnt even actually fullscreen! As with the new Messages app, it doesn't full screen the app but rather makes it take up roughly half the screen, surrounded by linen, in it's own space (all in single monitor mode btw). So if they want to have that silly button on the top right of the window, the maybe-fullscreen-maybe-not-but-for-sure-a-different-space button, then by all means. But dont make this the behavior of cmd-f which has meant something totally different for the last 10 years.
> Or if they are providing value, why don't they make money?

This question is nonsensical in the context of economic theory.
It's on Linux, too; the source is out so it's out for every system they support, but they have Linux builds.

The VLC team likes people to get it from their distro's package repos. On Ubuntu (Oneiric, Precise) you do that by adding the correct PPA to your sources list. This website has more info: http://iloveubuntu.net/vlc-20-released-ppa-available

Basically, though, do this at a command line:

Would you say any of your cs degree was up to date?
I'm not going to try and rationalize away good answers. Of all the things you could say to someone, I'd say this has the highest chance of success. And if I was behind you, I'd totally go for that.

Part of the problem of what I said above was focusing too much on the totally-green scenario. I think we take a lot of our computer-know-how for granted. As it stands, were still in the age where I tell people over webchat I'm into "hacking" and they leave because they're genuinely afraid that I'll break into their computer. Regardless of how much you and I both know that it's a lot more complicated than that, and probably not going to happen even if someone "has your IP". (Which has become something of a meme among generation Z for "That thing everyone knows you need to break into computers, but not really sure why.")
This is ignoring even the definition of hacker, which I would prefer we get past abject ignorance like this before we put hobbyist hackers into the public mind.

I mean, it's not like it takes more than five minutes to explain:

"The web is made of a bunch of computers sending text streams to each other. The program that interprets these streams is called a server. If a server isn't written correctly it can be exploited to do things the owner didn't intend, and be used to break into the host computer. For the most part nobody is going to get into your computer manually unless theres a server they can exploit. Default windows installations have not had servers installed since XP. Your web browser interprets a different set of text streams that can be exploited as well, you should be more worried about this than you should be of human attackers."

But somehow, it's not happening. Instead an embarrassingly high portion of the population believes that David Lightman type figures run around terrorizing the Internet with magical-but-undefined and fuzzy powers that let them break into anything they have a network connection to.

EDIT: The above explanation is obviously a bit more simple than whats really going on, but is really all most people need to know. Though I wish they knew more, that might just be a pipe dream.

I'll reconsider the TL;DR when academic papers reconsider the Abstract.
What are the economics of Overdrive or the other e-book lending systems? From what I saw in googling, it's something like $10-100k/yr to be a member institution (depending on size), plus access fees of a few thousand per month, plus per-item acquisition costs (much less than physical media; maybe $1.00 for a book?).

That's expensive only because no one actually uses the online lending service, since rich/tech people value convenience, and the people for whom a $9.99 ebook is a big enough expense to warrant the inferior search, wait, etc. are probably not technology early adopters (or can't afford a $79 Kindle).

It might make sense in a school library environment, though. Or, with sufficient assistance in setting it up, audiobooks for the reading-impaired (a helpful librarian, or an audio-only UI to search/download books).

i'm puzzled and somewhat amused with the downvotes because i'm aiming for maximum honesty and truth. the market organises to elevate the best and raise standards for all others - it's like a force of nature, whereas government seems to systematically mismanage libraries into mediocre grey soulless underused smelly wastelands.
It's important to keep in mind that economists consider things cetibus paribus - that is, as they are at the time, in isolation and in the real world. Whilst I have no particular problem with market based solutions (e.g. publicly funded vouchers should be provided for schools rather than public funding per se) I'm interested in seeing some kind of current, market based solution to issue of contagious disease prevention (how do we make everyone who benefits from protection against contagious diseases pay the value of their protection, for instance) and education (how do we make everyone who benefits from an educated populace pay a fair price towards the education of the next generation) --- when I do, perhaps the libertarian approach will persuade me more. Keep in mind that approaches which require future technological advances or infringement of civil liberties aren't allowed.

> There are transaction costs for Government action too. In general they are higher. Government has no special ability to keep transaction costs low.

Of course they do --- it's called fiat. When a variety of beneficial options exist but a lack of cooperation prevents an overall resolution, the government has the power to step in and dictate what should be done. If you don't like it, other options are still available --- there are other countries to migrate to.

I have to (partially) agree with you. Iran executes people for the most B.S. of reasons all the time, and we rarely hear about it, and we certainly don't get as much of it as we've been getting of this guy.

That's not to say that this guy isn't actually facing a death sentence, or that his life is somehow worth less because [[typical convoluted reasoning to support such statements]]. But these stories (and similar others) may be more interesting as an indicator of relations between the west and Iran than of the internals of Iranian politics.

Just updated to 2.0.0 on Arch x64, and things subtitle-wise are not much better. They still look much less grainy on SMPlayer, though I may be able to mitigate that at least partially by fiddling with the settings (though ideally this wouldn't be necessary).

But trying VLC out reminded me of a few more issues:

* Activating the controls while in full-screen mode (by hitting the bottom of the screen) is temperamental

* There's a lag after unpausing the video before audio starts playing again. Not functionally relevant, but it drives me nuts.
Except the article is about a state cutting library funding. While California likely sends a fair amount of tax dollars to Washington, D.C., I'm fairly sure their state coffers are directly funding military campaigns and the DHS.

* Edit: grammar
To be clear: the python interface does use CINT underneath; it's just that the user is less exposed to the subtle "features" that give CINT it's unique character.
Oh yeah, there's only one absolute number of false positives, but when you turn it into a rate you have to choose either "of all positive results, what portion were false" or "of all test results, what portion were positive and false", which are far apart for tests that give many negative results.

Things may have changed, but last time I looked at Cling you were limited in what you could do in the REPL. The main way I think it is used in practice is to slurp in a pile of C++ from files, and then inspect values in the REPL. As I say, this may have changed now.

The other thing to consider is that C is not really designed for use in a REPL. I personally use it more than any other language, but I don't personally feel that I would get much more out of it if I had a C REPL.

Having said that, C has no realtime features, and there are a lot of interesting potential applications if you have the ability to eval C code at runtime.

Interesting HN effect aside: I'm pretty sure the story of this prediction "broke" here on HN (I submitted after a fellow hoop-head and stats hobbyist pointed it out on 2/11/12) and it's interesting to see how the press and have social media spread & pursued it.
Don't worry: even with rational actors as an assumption fundamentalist libertarianism still has plenty of holes.
I see your point, if you are talking about the general population, but for the audience of HN, discovering how to change the configuration to return to a win7-like desktop is no challenge. Plus, I would be very surprised if companies started shipping Win8 with the Metro interface by default. All productivity environments will be set up on the regular desktop version. Frankly, implementing changes while allowing people to use the interface they prefer is not that bad. Ubuntu, for one, is clearly imposing you to use Unity and that's it. Don't like it ? Well, forget about using it then.

Baldur's Gate 2 comes to mind. And rather than Metal Gear Solid 4, I think the first one deserves a mention. Policenauts by Kojima is another game with pretty good character and story development.

Overall I agree with you, most games are not at the level of good books or good movies. The story value usually fares pretty low. That's why the whole talk of "games as art" misses the point. They are never going to be seriously considered until they reach higher standards.

There's some big problems with individual high-limit coverage:

(1) $10K is a big deductible if anything actually happens; if there's anything serious, you should assume you'll hit the $10k.

(2) Some of the better medical offices (eg my orthopaedic surgeon) are pretty picky about what brand of insurance they take because what the insurance pays for, how much they pay, how quickly, and with how much hassle vary quite widely. My point is, insurance is not all the same. You may find the better doctors unwilling to see you depending on the brand of insurance you have.

(3) If you do something like, for example, breaking your ankle, you'll be shocked at how much stuff is not covered by insurance. So add 50% to your out of pocket estimates. This is for things like: parking at the ortho / physical therapist office ($5-$8 per visit; 30+ visits, $200), taxis to and from work since you can't take public transport ($34 / day, 6 months on crutches, $4k), drugs (typically separate from the insurance deductible for no reason but to screw more money out of you, $300), buying all OTC stuff you can get at any drug store which is therefore not covered (advil, ice packs, compression bandages, etc -- easily $200). Plus if you actually have a bad accident, you'll probably spend a couple thousand dollars on takeout, etc.

(4) deductibles reset on a calendar basis. I fortunately injured myself in march and had 8 months of treatment, with both surgeries covered in the same deductible year. If you were to hurt yourself in October, you could cross deductible years so double your out of pocket costs again.

(5) Also, you should be very careful about coverage restrictions and in/out of network bullshit. As I mentioned, I broke my ankle. When you have an injury like that, you don't want to go to a random orthopaedic surgeon. I was fortunate and Anthem Blue Cross covered UCSF so I could go to an ortho surgeon who only repairs ankles instead of a generic ortho surgeon. The difference is between someone who has treated my particular injury 600+ times vs someone who has done so a handful of times. Lots of research suggests that outcomes correlate with the amount of times your doctor has treated your injury.

My experience was a bit unusual because the recovery time -- 8 months -- was so protracted, but not unprecedented for joint injuries. Recommendation: don't break your ankle =P

tl:dr: in a worst case scenario, where you have a moderate to bad injury that spans a deductible year, your $10K can be $25K in practice. Make sure you have the cash.
Really?? That's disappointing to hear.
