>Sorry, yes, they don't play fair. But I am hopeful at the turn of the next century China will be as prosperous and egalitarian as my own United States of America.

Why would a one-party system evolve into being egalitarian? The US has devolved into being more or less ruled by lobbyists. The egalitarian phase in the US was largely due to workers being economically valuable and hence useful to maintain physically and mentally. China, however, has a surplus of workers.

> * To read the books in the library, you have to physically go there, check it out, and take it home (or read it there).

I haven't used a library in 15 years that couldn't send you a book, as long as you were a member/library card carrier.

Your differences are largely superficial and orthogonal to the discussion, but I suspect you and I are not going to be able to agree on this point.
True, they are silly extremes. But as guidelines they are not equal. One may lead to a few extra "waste" classes, but the other can fook things up.

They are to be taken in the same vein as "prefer implementation to extension (program to interfaces rather than classes)" and so on. Not gospel, but advice from some of those who have been down both roads and are calling back to us. Advice meant to give you pause as you set about building that subclass.

It should be obvious that design strategies that allow change without breaking signatures are good things. Maybe they are not needed or wanted absolutely everywhere, but certainly, if there is any doubt, they should be used.
PS I flipped the logic in my explanation; whitespace coerces to 0 and letters coerce to NaN. Which is why filter removes the whitespace and not the letters.
This is a kind of null hypothesis: that US companies, across all sectors, are permanently not hiring above the rate of replacing their current employees. All dynamic changes are because of fluctuation in supply; the only way companies will hire more in any sector is if increased supply drops wages enough that they can pick up more employees for the same money.

That is a pretty extreme claim which seems pretty easily testable; where has it been tested?

Many of us derive our (high) salaries from building software that isn't open-sourced. Copyright is one important layer to prevent the SW from being used for free by everyone.

Even Google does this - it never open-sourced its core search infrastructure or google docs/mail/maps/etc products, and it monetizes them. And its open source products like chrome and android are really about creating more "attach" to its proprietary products.

Do those who hold the "pro-copying" view believe it's somehow bad that our work (software IP) results in proprietary source code that we are paid for?

Or is SW somehow different from someone who spends a lot to create a movie, book or song? I'm honestly curious!

(Personally, I'm against SOPA, and skeptical of SW patents, but don't have a problem with copyright).

Haha. Well in that case no I strongly do not support what you so generously call "our side". But thanks for throwing my hat into your ring.

I support environments that enable and encourage the production of new creative works. I believe that copyright in some form is necessary to support such a system.

"A distinguishing characteristic of intellectual property is its "public good" aspect. While the cost of creating a work subject to copyright protection—for example, a book, movie, song, ballet, lithograph, map, business directory, or computer software program—is often high, the cost of reproducing the work, whether by the creator or by those to whom he has made it available, is often low. And once copies are available to others, it is often inexpensive for these users to make additional copies. If the copies made by the creator of the work are priced at or close to marginal cost, others may be discouraged from making copies, but the creator’s total revenues may not be sufficient to cover the cost of creating the work. Copyright protection—the right of the copyright’s owner to prevent others from making copies—trades off the costs of limiting access to a work against the benefits of providing incentives to create the work in the first place. Striking the correct balance between access and incentives is the central problem in copyright law. For copyright law to promote economic efficiency, its principal legal doctrines must, at least approximately, maximize the benefits from creating additional works minus both the losses from limiting access and the costs of administering copyright protection." - Posner, 1989, An Economic Analysis of Copyright Law

While I agree with many of your points in principle, I think your rhetoric is a bit off. For one thing, I think it's ridiculous to even bring up Ivy League when discussing overall student debt. Ivy League's total enrollment is something like 100,000. Assuming every single freshman took a full debt load, thats 'only' 5 billion or so. The government report linked in the article states that in 2010-2011, $117B of student debt was generated. Ivy League doesn't even matter.

Furthermore, while its easy to criticize the students themselves - obviously many of them are not paragons of responsible spending, but it also kind of misses the point. For one thing it's easy to wave away and say 'many' students have shit they 'don't need', but how many really do? And how much is that really contributing. Without data, its just a gut feeling. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Because I can tell you that where I live, very few students have 42" TVs. Yes, we have smartphone and Macs, and some of us have video game consoles, but how much does this really add to our debt load? Certainly not trivial, but when you consider the average student debt is like 25k, you certainly can't say that the extra 4-6k on random gadgets is what is driving the problem. After all, if you can pay a 20k loan and avoid defaulting, you probably can also pay for a 25k load and avoid defaulting.

And finally, how does one even approach solving a systemic problem (it obviously is systemic) like this if all you do is place the blame on the actors. Clearly the problem is large enough for blame to be ladled on everyone.

His 3Taps service started as an exchange for classifieds, which he said would be pulled from eBay, craigslist, indeed, and others. But at some point all of the other vendors got dropped and 3Taps concentrated its efforts on craigslist only.

The 3Taps web site has had various "informational" pop-ups which are short and inflammatory (exaggerating the truth or spreading disinformation to attract media attention). His twitter feed is recently full of jibes about craigslist's site layout, policies, and management.
Well said.

Mostly, I see student debt as a glaring indicator that the system as a whole has some serious problems. I don't like to place blame on who is responsible.

But, it can't be denied that student and family responsibility is a factor in the massive student debt problem.

But keep in mind there are external pressures on families and students as well. Schools will sell students very hard. Peers. Our entire culture. When your president gets on air and says "We are dedicated to sending every kid to college", that's a very strong cultural message.

I commend you for making wise decisions when you went to school, though.
Put People First
I feel like this is just swapping degrees for certifications. In this case the certification is just saying you completed training with so and so (so and so being bloc.io). Either way, everybody's just chasing paper and maybe learning something in the process.

EDIT: What I meant by certification was more abstract. On a resume, saying you completed tutelage with an individual or a group (and have achievements to go along with them) is pretty similar to completing certification that implies knowledge attained prior to completing the certification...the disfunctional nature of certifications, degrees, and mentor-based systems notwithstanding. People market themselves with this stuff, no matter what precisely it is, or where they got it from.

Digia to pay Nokia €4 million for Qt [...]
Wow, nice reframing.

I didn't say the entitlements (Medicaid, unemployment, and other forms of welfare) permitted them to be customers. If that's what you got from my statement, reread it.

The majority of them aren't freeloaders. The majority of them work - they provide benefits to companies by making things or performing other services. The majority of them pay other taxes (including payroll taxes, the part funding SS and Medicaid). They spend money on goods and services, which inherently means they're supporting the economy as a whole. To disregard this 50% as a bunch of freeloading losers does not make sense.
I don't buy it. We have a culture that rewards everyone going to college, even if they'd be better off not going to college. And your explanation for this is that we don't value education? I'd argue the exact opposite. We value education too much.

Yes, clearly the non-profit sector is far less influential than the for-profit one, in spite of donating vastly more money. Education as a whole donated $6.3M to Obama, the for-profit sector donated $145k to John Kline and $107k to Romney [1].

This argument doesn't make any sense. He just spelled this out for you, but I'll try it again.

Individual donations from non-profit education employees are not lobbying on the part of an industry. They're citizens playing an active role in politics.

Corporations in the for-profit education business are lobbying in an attempt to further increase their profit margins despite providing a product that is comparatively worthless.

Oh wait, my mistake - I live in the real world, where $6.3M > $145k, and politicians target for-profits for special rules and throw more money at non-profits.

Just as they should. For profit schools are student farms, churning them out and providing predatory loans to their uneducated students.

Nobody gives a degree from a for-profit school any kind of respect, it carries no more prestige than a high school degree. That makes their product worthless. They're attempting to legislate around their failings, not improve their product to a competitive level with the non-profit education system.

Seeing as the non-profit schools are supposed to be public institutions created to better the country, it's appropriate for them to receive federal funding.

I think the most poignant section was this:

>A deal had been struck. Deng had promised the Chinese people material wealth they hadn’t known for centuries on the condition that they never again asked for political change. The Party said: “Trust us and everything will be all right.”
>Twenty years later, everything is not all right.

But I would disagree with the overarching theme that the problem of an ascendant China / China in general / etc. is that China is too inward-looking, that "You'll never be Chinese." I know you'll never be Japanese, but I think China and its people and culture are quite different; I didn't spend as much time living in China or studying Chinese as the author, but in that time and in my experiences I think there is a lot more interest and openness of people (and many elites) than is given credit.

Unfortunately, there are huge structural and institutional barriers too...
I feared that mentioning Krugman would bring out the Krugman-haters with their nonsense. Sadly, I was right to fear.

You know that the Fed statistics that you cite show that, for example, durable goods production is down 6% since 2007? Even though population has increased in that time. That is to say, the graphs support what I said and what Paul Krugman says, not the nonsense that you think you've learned from Fox News.

Equating a slew of left-leaning individuals, each presumably acting on their own, with for-profit institutions seems rather disingenuous to me.
You are making up an intellectual dishonesty which isn't there. I'm happy to call it a handout in any case - I said that I understand handouts for the reason of social mobility and also a general opposition to handouts. Fundamentally it doesn't matter what you call it. I am not guilty of some kind of diabolical framing here, that is nothing but a distraction.

$10,099/semester is a reasonable amount of money for a college education, at current market prices. You could have gotten cheaper but presumably you did not want to - your choice. At $102,000 it is completely affordable. When one has kids, and wishes them to college, one is normally and reasonably expected to save up for that purpose.

So your argument seems to reduce to 'my mother shouldn't pay this money.' That implies someone else should pay it. Why? What makes it so much not reasonable?

After your total costs are paid, your mother is still making $81,802/yr. She can't live on $81,802/yr? She should be getting money from people who don't even make $81,802/yr because you are going to college and you think that the cost of tuition is not 'reasonable'? You should be getting that money ahead of people who are poorer and not getting any aid?

Thanks for the question. Avatars.io is one service we offer as part of our broader API and family of media services - see getchute.com. While we will maintain a generous free tier, we will eventually charge for access to the underlying API. Avatars.io itself is not a standalone business but is, however, a great way for developers to get started with Chute.
The middle ground is imaginary.

For the types of copyright infringement everyone is probably thinking of (music, audiobooks, music videos, tv shows, movies, books) that are easy to turn into bits there is only one possible way to enforce copyright and that is large scale surveillance of the internet in order to police the content.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see much middle ground. Not when you think it all the way through to taking actual action to protect copyrighted works.

Besides SOPA style surveillance systems how do you enforce the notion of copyright that you support? It's too late to try and use social norms and make it uncool or embarrassing to have downloaded something without paying the creator. People will share things if they can unless someone stops them.

No one who isn't a strawman supports "unlimited copyright infringement" or doesn't want the artists we love to get paid, they just understand the tradeoffs that would have to be made to keep enforcing our current (historically recent) copyright system in the modern age and don't feel that abandoning some of the fundamentals of western democracy in order to temporarily protect the business models of those who currently pay artists is a worthwhile tradeoff.

The complexity classes that involve randomness have names like BPP, ZPP, and RP. BPP is usually the one people mean when they talk about practical problems that randomness might help solve. Although the second level of PH contains both NP and BPP, which both contain P, it is still not known if any of those containments are proper, and the relationship between BPP and NP is still open. Even more interesting is the relationship between BPP and its quantum version BQP. The Complexity Zoo has more for the interested reader... http://qwiki.stanford.edu/index.php/Complexity_Zoo
I think if you wanted to make this really robust, you could use more techniques to beef it up.

One technique would be to store verbose or commonly-used string constants in accessible locations like Array.prototype.f. Then you could access, say, the string "prototype" by simply writing

[][(![]+[])[+[]]]

Once you build up a little scratch storage of the most common or hard-to-encode strings, everything starts getting orders of magnitude smaller.

(Technically, this means that you're polluting the space shared with the program being encoded, so for everything to work the program can't make use of it. But that's a pretty simple invariant to ask of the input program: "don't get or set the 'f' property of arrays.")

Another technique would be to break up large statements into smaller substatements, to avoid fixed limits of JS engines on statement size. You can always avoid semicolons, since ASI is guaranteed to work if you start your statement with a !.

How is Haskell a flavor of the month?

For the record, the first commit to the Yi project was 8 years ago. This isn't some flash in the pan project.
Further, if we build a human-like intelligence on a chip, this would plausibly be a highly parallel algorithm. By that token, you wouldn't need more transistors-per-inch, you could use chips that snap-together with high bandwidth connections and perhaps some longer-distance traffic control connections.

The kind of design isn't an NP-complete problem but it certainly could be helped by a powerful AI.

Also, Moore's Law is breaking for speed but not for transistors-per-inch. That's why we're seeing multicode chip now.
This is definitely a personal preference issue. I, for one, hate logos and branding on my clothing. I won't pay for clothing that advertises itself. I have met other people who are the exact opposite and care greatly about the branding and image. In the end, there's probably enough room in the market for clothing companies to go either way. I'm personally thankful for not having branding forced on me.
I'm somewhat curious to know how big of a problem (and what forms it takes) this is around the world—if people could share what this looks like from where they are, I'd be tremendously interested.

So Swartz is unhappy that science has to take one step backwards for every 99 steps taken forward to the progress?

And I wonder what alternatives Swartz would like to provide instead of science? Just so he is aware, we sort of tried astrology, religious doctrines, voodoo Eastern philosophies, but none of them even come close to the knowledge we acquire from physicalist point of view taken with science.
