Proposal to force publishers to respect open-access wishes of their contributors
I remember developing in Visual Basic 3 and being able to decompile source code using an amazing program called Dodi (German Developer). I was 13 at the time but it was a scary thought of mine that that anyone could decompile my hours of hard work to re-release the same product in a matter of seconds. I'm happy to see Microsoft still going forward with C# and VB.NET attempts to make their code more open to the web and Microsoft compatible products yet less effort on the developers part. I still use Visual Basic to develop little tools at the speed of light. Not sure too many companies that would go to industry standards but this could be very intriguing.

Indeed. Police don't seem to have a problem when animal rights activists protest fur by going around naked.

What I don't like about this thinking is to consider anything apart from 'going to the moon' as a job not worth doing.

Everybody has a world of his own. A friend of mine comes from a family of farmers. Back here in Bangalore, we would drive down to his place during our engineering college years. And we would spent great deal of time in fields and a small hill close to his place. Now you really must hang out with those farmers. Try working in the field for a couple of hours and experience a cool breeze blowing through your hair, drying you sweat. Try eating a banana or a guava straight plucked from the tree, try roasting a chicken on a chicken farm. Try climbing a small hill and then rest on it while sleeping and staring right into the sky watching eagles. Try diving in to a the lake near the fields. Do you know how much fun that is? None of that is rocket science but it feels like heaven when you are experiencing it.

These days I try to hang out with cab drivers who drive me back home in the night. I buy them a cup of tea or coffee in the night. And it awesome chatting with them and listening to their experiences. Its crazy how much fun they have.

Some of the words happiest people are the ones who work during the day in the sun smelling the sweat essence of mud.

Passion and fun can be found even in the smallest of the things we do in life. And people do that all the time.

The guide to a happy life is to really focus on how you do things rather than What things you do.
cool, wondering if you have a reference?
Bakardy sells a kit—including a fake rose, instructions, and a DVD—for about $3,000.

Teller had Bakardy's video removed with a DMCA takedown notice, then called Bakardy to demand that the magician stop using his routine. Teller offered to buy Bakardy out, but they were unable to agree on a price. So Teller sued Bakardy last week in a Nevada federal court.

It looks like Teller is upset at the crass commercializaiton of his work.
Regarding point b, I wrote my comment in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't really get to explain my view on the Steve Jobs tie in. I definitely recognize that Steve Jobs didn't build Apple on his own, but there's great value in your statement: "...and ideally you stay open enough (like Steve Jobs) to the innovative bubbles that bubble up from any part of your organization."

That is, I believe, a genius true of of any great leader: the ability to surround yourself with people who are capable of greatness, then having the confidence to let them be great.

I've never understood what the idea is there, why would seeing a naked person be so damaging to children? It just seems so ridiculous. What's supposed to happen to a child that sees nudity? Around here, kids see naked people all the time (for example in the changing rooms of public swimming pools).
Kubuntu: they have invested millions in it

Which is interesting as Penn & Teller have made a career out of showing how tricks are done (and being so skilled that even when you know how it is done you are still amazed).
Yeah, Apple has no success whatsoever with their aggressive deprecation strategy :)
The American political system is so hugely, immensely corrupt that I can't and don't want to and won't play that game.

It's still better than a lot of other countries; and the best way to make it better (or at least to keep it from degrading) would be for more intelligent people to contribute to it.

Just because a few tech sites use it doesn't make it user friendly.

This is a tech community so almost everyone here is likely comfortable with learning new things. The rest of the world isn't like that.

Most people don't like learning new things, particularly if it's not going to really make a difference in their lives in a dramatic way. They are familiar with Word or Gmail.

Think of it this way: let's say bought a new car tomorrow. With this new car, instead just sticking in the gas nossel and filling gas, you had to say a few magic words, stick the nossel in, fill gas and then say a few magic words.

The magic words might be simple and even make sense. Like "adding gas" and "done adding gas". But they are just extra steps. Moving parts. Things that could go wrong. Easily.

I'm saying this primarily because I've used markdown in the past and almost always without fail, I get emails and phone calls about how something isn't working the way it should be and invariably it's one character off from what they intended.
They offer the ability to receive payments from international customers, but opening an account requires a US bank account.
I think it's a little hazy. Magic has a long tradition of magicians performing similar tricks, and as long as you either reverse-engineered it on your own or came up with your own way to accomplish the illusion, I think most magicians would respect it.

I think the issue here is that he's taking the performance whole-sale rather than coming up with a similar illusion. Teller offered to buy him out, which I think is a combination of class on his part and recognition of the nature of tricks in professional magic.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I think this paragraph reflects what you are saying:

"The reason that scientists and engineers don't go into politics is because they find it deeply frustrating to deal with people who are lying, know they are lying, and do not give a shit. Further, they find it deeply, deeply frustrating to work in a field that does not rely upon evidenced based thinking, but relies upon emotional persuasion and the systematic abuse of the irrational behaviorism of the crowds."

That's quite a view from security. In the major airports I've gone through recently I don't remember shops being visible. It should make it harder for misconduct by the authorities to go unnoticed.
Every language is based on a huge mass of things which might fall under "fully understanding the tool you're using". Do you have a sharper distinction separating type inference algorithms from other things like calling conventions or garbage collection algorithms that languages are presumably allowed to sweep under the rug?

Type inference in general seems particularly benign as far as black boxes go - it is somewhat user visible, but you can limit your exposure to knowing where to put explicit type annotations.

The plain Hindley-Milner type system is particularly well behaved, in that the inference algorithms for it are
guaranteed to work if there is any valid way at all to assign types. Combine that with type erasure guaranteeing the exact types assigned can't affect program behavior and the details of inference are doubly encapsulated.

Did you ask your friend if it actually looked non-trivial?
A web version of that would be awesome to integrate with apps.

There are very few illusions in magic that are not for sale, it's how a lot of non-famous magicians make a living and how many magicians who are just starting fill out their act. So I don't think the issue here is the commercialization of magic per se, or even the fact that this guy recreated the illusion...but the fact that he deliberately recreated the entire performance from Teller rather than using his reverse engineering of it to create a new illusion.
Cool. That sounds like the crystals Superman uses to learn about Krypton and his parents.
It takes more time to find + fix problems that your users will have and email your support team about than it taks to read the blog post.
Well, good for him. I hope he has the presence of mind to send a statement out, because this article makes him sound crazy rather than fed up with ineffective, privacy-invading bullshit and brave enough to get arrested naked in an airport for his beliefs.
I did once go topless at the airport, figuring it should help the TSA scanners not miss anything, but the look from the TSA agent convinced me to put back my thirt in a hurry.
I still want notification settings per organization membership.
I smiled, because such caring about clients knowing the company goes down is simply good stuff. Kudos!

1. Submit to the potentially harmful government scanner that takes pictures of you nude.

2. Submit to having your privates groped by an agent of the state.

3. Go through security fully nude.

Sadly #3 may actually be the least offensive option.
Neckholder Brautkleider
Wow. This is pretty much the exact opposite of what I was thinking. Let's back up and make a few things clear:

1) I'm excited that these billionaires (and many before them) are doing great things with their money.

2) The benevolent dictator tie in was not a wish for benevolent dictatorships, but rather an observation. It's not like I'm dreaming of a future where James Cameron becomes King of America. I kind of like the spot they're in today. Their wealth gives them the opportunity to do amazing things, but we're not at risk of Elon Musk executing a coup.

3) One of my favorite pieces of fiction is the graphic novel Watchmen. I like it because it is such a fantastic critique on the hero archetype. I don't see people like James Cameron or Elon Musk as some sort of infallible hero, but rather I'm amazed that they rise above their flaws to do great things.

My comments were abbreviated, because I don't have time to write a book. I think that my excitement is being interpreted in many different ways, and I'm ok with that, but I want to be clear about what I appreciate, and this portion of your comment really rubbed me the wrong way:

> Weird to see a western person dismiss the incredible priviledge he has and free speech rights and lack of obligations of serfdom/slavery suddenly take up the mantle of 'let the alpha males fix everything you stupid bureaucratic peons.'

That is, categorically, the opposite of the way I feel. As I've already said, I'm not dreaming of King Jobs. I find it exciting/interesting that we're seeing a surge in the number of individuals with the means and the interest in doing great things.
I know that Teller isn't opposed to the commercialization of his magic since that's how he makes his living. The problem is he invests a ton of time, money, sweat, and tears into creating these tricks. Then this other magician packages it up and sells it for 3 grand. That's got to be quite a hit to the gut to Teller.

And the issue is that he recreated this illusion. Teller claims he copyrighted the trick nearly 30 years ago and has been performing it since the late 70s.
I almost wish I could have some kind of vim plugin that would render markdown. I tried finding this for MacVim (which could be capable) but alas... :)

KDE or GNOME? Which to choose?
This is surprising, given Penn and Teller's political and philosophical beliefs.
You are comparing two very different things here (can TSA agents see children naked vs. can children see naked people.) The first could at worst encourage pedophile TSA agents to do certain things, while the second could at worst encourage children to do certain things. One could have a different opinion on the severity of each of these actions based on their belief in the behavior caused by seeing naked people in each of these contexts.
I've felt like that at times but I think it's important to be unbiased. We're not the only people who give a shit.
How is this done?
Good Idea and very useful for scientists. Btw, Is it based on Pligg CMS? what marketing techniques you planned to improve registrations?

Yes, in Portland this probably should be protected, see http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog/2008/nude-bike-riding-protec..., for instance.

The relevant bit there:

We read the challenged ordinance as focusing on the goal of regulating conduct which the city council has determined to be injurious to health, safety and morals, i.e., the prohibition of public nudity or indecent exposure not intended as a protected symbolic or communicative act. Id. at 82.

In other words, the court specifically acknowledged an exception to the ordinance in order to protect symbolic or communicative acts (the other alternative would have been to declare the entire ordinance unconstitutional, as it's fairly well established that no-exception bans on public nudity violate the first amendment), which this clearly was, so he should be fine.

Of course, all bets are off since this happened in an airport, because terrorism.
20 Tips for WordPress Optimization
WordPress works great out of the box, but there are always ways to improve it to give yourself a faster, leaner site.

This is particularly important if you run a site that has large amounts of traffic, or which is prone to traffic spikes. Check out our 20 top tips for optimizing your WordPress website.
The last time I refused the full-body scanner, I was taken off to the side for the pat down and was asked, "Do you want to do this behind a screen?" My response was, "Why, are you going to take my clothes off?" The TSA officer became a bit indignant and said, "No, we don't do things like that!" I was then fondled in a way that was jarring, to say the least.

"Good for him" is an understatement.

Long predicted but never observed: A new kind of quantum junction
since you are good at politics, here is a question for you - something I always wondered about.

How do you become good at politics - not the making speeches to a crowd bit, the backroom wheeling and dealing and backstabbing bit? Is it a totally inborn skill or something you can learn ?

(fwiw, I've personally found that once I put on my 'cynicism' hat and evaluate a situation totally in terms of completely disbelieving what everyone says and thinking solely in terms of "everyone is out to get something for himself/herself irrespective of what they say, let me try to figure out what", I get a surprisingly accurate and actionable reading of the situation. Helps a lot in understanding and utilizing corporate politics, for example, a skill most hackers don't have.

However, thinking this way, and "seeing" things this way makes me feel slimy and in need of a bath even when it is effective in mapping the terrain, and so requires a deliberate act of will to engage in. I suspect politicians have to work this way all the time, constantly evaluating, indulging and trading with some nasty people).

Where Do the Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays Come From?
Here are some legitimate business questions for you, with perhaps one ethical question.

1. If this project is an attempt to move beyond subsistence sex work, how exactly will you raise the funds you intend to invest in trans-founded startups? YCombinator's business model initially depended upon the personal wealth of its founding partners. After proving themselves, they raised further investment and received returns on their earlier investments. How does TCombinator intend to obtain this initial funding source?

2. Founding a startup is an inherently risky and difficult task, requiring great skill and experience. Most successful startup founders have the experience and skill necessary to earn a comfortable living without doing a startup. You mention that the goal of your project is to help others to move beyond subsistence sex work. How can you, in good conscience, expect people with no relevant skills or experience to improve their economic standing by founding startups? Would it not be less risky and more reliable to focus on improving less risky opportunities for trans folk to earn a living outside of sex work?

2a. Founding a startup is also a profoundly stressful and emotionally difficult endeavor. Allison wrote of saving people "on the brink" of "suicide, homelessness, and starvation". As I remarked elsewhere, if you're already facing these stresses in your life, you are less, not more, capable of handling the stresses and responsibilities of a startup.

3. The business model of startup investment is to maximize your odds of investing in a billion dollar company. How is that business model served by artificially restricting the pool of founders you're willing to invest in to less than 1% of the population?

where users give applications valet keys to their data

I love the metaphor. I want Facebook and Google to have my data, because they can't give me good service without it. Unfortunately, as a consumer, giving Facebook or Google access to your data is akin to the Native Americans welcoming the Europeans to their continent. You have no rights, and the balance of power is against you. They own your data now, and you may use whatever part of it they give you permission to use, in the manner they give you permission to use it.

Your metaphor is beautiful, instantly understandable, and puts them in their rightful place as service providers, not overlords.
The Power of Using WordPress as a CMS
Gone are the days when WordPress was a simple blogging platform. It now powers around 16% of all websites. This doesn’t mean that all of those websites are just blogs. Not in the slightest!

The results of the recent survey conducted by WordPress showed that out of the 18,000 respondents, 61% use WordPress just as a CMS, 31% as a CMS and a blog, and only 8% of all respondents use WordPress only as a blog. That’s some serious evidence of just how effective WordPress is as a CMS.
There are 501 people and non-501 people in every profession.

The issue is something like this. One workaholic nerd works his life out to achieve something very extraordinary. Then he become famous and rich. And then people begin to dissect his life. During the process people figure out, that we worked crazy hours to achieve what he achieved.

When a theory is made out of this process your logical inference is working very hard is a prerequisite for success.

You start with this assumption then you automatically start classifying 501 workers as somebody who can't do anything big in life. Go a step further, people start classifying 501 people as lazy or inefficient.

Things get bad when you start comparing.
