Depending on your temperament his fiction can be either very insightful or a total downer. I've found his non-fiction like "The Rebel" to be very accessible especially as philosophical works go (Heidegger and Kant being the epitome of inaccessible to the non-scholar and even then ... ugh). Camus also worked as a journalist so that had an impact on his writing.

It is very intense to read Camus straight, so I usually alternate it with something more optimistic or at least humorous. If I'm going to face the absurdity of existence as a mortal human being, I at least need a laugh or two on the way.

I remember William Barret's "Irrational Man" being a pretty good overview of existentialist thought.
The visual demonstration is rather hypnotizing to watch. This algorithm is an example how seemingly intelligent behaviour roots in just a handful of simple rules. In this way it kind of reminds me of Conway's Game of Life: A few simple rules stimulating stunningly complex behaviour.

> Samsung are poised to be the first manufacturer to bring an A15 based SOC to market.

As are TI, and if Samsung and TI schedules slip a bit more, NVidia might even be first. It's a fairly tight race right now.
You have to make a trade-off between simplicity and user expectations though.

For example, 6 months before the iphone was released we developed a mobile app at my work that was universally compatible. It ran on the lowest WAP2 phone you could imagine, by virtue of not using any javascript, using nothing that wasn't in the XHTML basic standard, and putting few controls on each screen.

And then the iphone happened and our users very vocally told us that the look and feel of this app was not acceptable. So, we built a version that runs only on modern smartphones and a very narrow range of browsers, but users are ecstatic about it, even though it does exactly the same things as before.
Thank you for those links. I think I will make more of an effort to contribute to projects in non-coding ways while I learn to code.
You are correct in your first sentence, I am not a lawyer but interpreted the agreement as they are able to use/sell your idea or any modification of your idea while you still technically own your idea.
Perfectly stated. This is the correct point of view.
The Google Play store has plenty of pirated apps on it all the time, which you often have to DMCA Google for any chance of getting taken down. I don't think that's a big difference here.
Thank you, I remember using that a few months ago but other things got in the way. I have done a few exercises since you replied and it is proving very helpful.

10 reasons every college student should intern at a startup

You are technically correct ... and that is the best kind of correct.
Aaron Swartz's case is so unlike Randal Schwartz's case that just making the comparison is a kind of "tell".

Randal Schwartz was a contractor for Intel, through an IT contracting company. At the conclusion of his contact and, as I remember, his employment with the company that placed him, he backdoored systems at Intel. He later used those backdoors to regain access to Intel systems and got caught.

Randal Schwartz' defense has always been that his activities were innocuous (and, in some cases, necessary to complete work for Intel, which is a claim that is damaged by the fact that some of his actions took place after his business relationship with Intel was severed). There is no "service to the greater good" angle in Randal Schwartz's case. What happened with him was either a spectacular misunderstanding or a galactic-scale instance of bad decisionmaking on his part.

Aaron Swartz set out to liberate information from a private database, because that information had been unjustly locked up.

What you're saying when you draw an equivalence between these cases is that you think most computer fraud/abuse cases are illegitimate. I'm not saying that's a ridiculous perspective to have (though it is not mine), but you should be on guard for the ways that perspective can cloud your reasoning. By all means keep believing that the Internet should be a "wild west" where the strong/gifted rule unchecked so long as they don't steal people's credit card numbers. But also read the case files when you want to argue about them.
The difference is that you are free to use the Android CTS, unlike the Java TCK, which had a Field Of Use restriction that did not allow using it for mobile.

The big difference is that you can do whatever you want with Android and it's components, but don't expect any help, from the OHA if you are making something incompatible.

One might prefer to supply the radix when using parseInt(), too. Lest one encounters strings that convert into octal numbers.

parseInt('09') !== parseInt('9')
Strangely most people who come up with these sorts of ideas independently usually operate with one of two perspectives:

1) I know I thought of this idea so I've got a right to use it.

2) This idea is pretty obvious, it just hasn't had anyone willing to implement it.

Both of which give the implementer a false sense of security. People who've done this once or twice and been hit on the head by the stupid patent hammer, will look around to see if anyone has done something similar, especially 15 - 20 years ago, and if they can create a credible path to their idea which doesn't involve things that are patented. Then they file a provisional patent to be sure they don't get stomped on.

I'd like to know more about remembering things that I don't put forth effort to remember. Does anyone know about this?

For example my mom asked who the angry chef on TV is and somehow I immediately knew "Gordon Ramsay!" even though I don't have cable TV, never purposely worked on remembering his name, and am generally terrible at remembering names. Being able to remember things without trying is what most folks would really want when considering improving their memory.

I have found success with methods that call for imagining a 3d space and placing objects in that space and using it to recall things... However, designing such a space takes time/effort which is difficult when you're trying to learn and comprehend stuff on the fly.

I do wonder if it is a memory issue or a recall issue here...perhaps I actually know the information but can't access it as necessary.
Right, because there's no difference between the average person changing a lightbulb and messing with their wiring.

This is probably how things are going to work until its commonplace for houses to be built with x10.
Life lessons from an ad man [video]
> There are a few administrative costs. The administrators get paid huge amounts.

I'll step over the part about these sentences contradicting each other. A colleague of mine worked as a part-time "managing editor" for the top journal in his field, meaning he was paid to coordinate the flow of submissions to the (unpaid) senior editors, managing the responsibilities/schedule of the editor-in-chief, and a host of other work I haven't quizzed him about. He worked hard, and for not much money, which is somewhat reasonable, as he was effectively an executive assistant. The EIC is expected to regularly travel to annual conferences (in one case, because that's when the journal's editorial board meets), so these costs are paid by the journal (to my understanding). He also does a great deal of evangelist work for the journal internationally. While some of these costs may be paid by honorariums (I'm not clear), they must be paid by somebody, and the journal is a likely candidate for a portion of those costs.

My point is that every time we talk about costs of journals, someone mentions either a) administration is a no cost event or b) administration is an overpriced event. Yes, the reviewing and editing is typically performed by volunteers (the costs of which are borne by their respective employers) There is a substantial amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. I've had only the slightest of peeks behind the curtain, and I'm blown away by how much occurs that I wouldn't have initially guessed.

I'm not saying the repository companies (and some publishers) are not money-grubbing parasites; I'm not sure the evidence is in their favor. But little though it's been, my limited view of journal administration is that it's a non-trivial set of tasks costing more than I originally suspected. Claiming otherwise without experience to the contrary is really just FUD.
Hyperreal was an integral part of a lot of the local scenes in North America, too. Ishkur, who is something of an Internet rave culture celebrity, known for his guide to electronic music, guide to rave culture, and his rave captions project, once posted an essay to the nw-raves mailing list arguing that rave culture was inherently a geek culture. Which was arguably true for the PNW and northern California.
Thanks for the input...will get on that ASAP.
" the LED bulb screws into a fixture with the wifi stuff inside"

I would also think that the electronics could be small enough to simply be an insert between one of the conductors and the bulb. There are, for example, inserts (size of a coin iirc) that simply can flash a bulb when seated in between the screwbase and the bulb.

No. Imagine a museum was displaying an oil painting that had been illegally taken by the Nazis in the 1940s and kept from its rightful owners, who were alive today and appalled that their property, evidence of the 20th Century's worst war crime, was hanging on someone else's wall. Now imagine someone broke into the museum, took the painting, and returned it to their owners.

That person is guilty of breaking and entering and, I believe, of theft.

We are a nation ruled by laws, not people. It is via the due process of law that claims like "all the information held in JSTOR is the property of the citizens of the US" are resolved. It is not up to Aaron Swartz.
Typically the commissioning and production editors (as opposed to the academic editors) are paid, as are the copyediting staff, the design staff, the sales and marketing teams (brands don't build themselves), etc.

The average academic journal has 25%-30% profit margin (higher than the rest of the publishing industry), but it can take upto 5-7 years for a new STM journal to build enough of a reputation to break even. The profits from the successful journals have to cover the failure of the others (not unlike the startup industry from an investor perspective).

If you look at an open access journal like PLOS Biology the fundamental economics aren't that different. PLOS Biology charges authors $2900/paper, at about 20 papers an issue that means an issue generates just under $60,000 in revenue (excluding revenue from print sales). Overall PLOS runs at a 20% profit rate but it's not significantly different from other mid-tier closed-access journal publishers.

Facebook can't revoke the API, because the site clearly states in the footer that "Buddy Hack in no way encourages the usage of any Facebook account other than your own." That seems waterproof to me.
That'd be true if you only hired people as good as yourself in all the specialized functions. Instead, you hire people better than yourself. Managing finances, for example, is much easier with a CPA on staff.

The immigrants aren't coming for the middle and high school education, they are coming for college/graduate level education, which is top-notch in the US, atleast in the best schools.

Combine with that the multiplier effect of significantly better economic opportunities post-college, and its clear why immigrants are willing to jump through hoops (one of the worst immigration systems) to come to the US.

What you can learn about competition by riding a tank
People keep bringing this up like it means something. JSTOR isn't pressing civil charges because there's no upside in it for them to do that. Relative to the overwhelming majority of criminal cases, this case is a media shitstorm. If I was a director at a nonprofit, I too would avoid sticking my whole head into the angry wasp's nest that is the Swartz federal case.

You cannot reasonably read tacit support for Aaron Swartz into JSTOR's failure to press charges.

I was mugged last year and I didn't press charges (my three muggers were, as it turned out, barely old enough to have graduated high school). Do I support muggings?

(Some nerd is typing as fast as he can to make the argument that I tacitly am doing that, so let me head you off at the pass NO I DO NOT.)
Thank for you those resources. I've added the book to my Amazon Wishlist. It seems that coding for the web is probably the 'easiest' entry into the world of coding and I have an idea that I wish to pursue so having that goal will give me extra motivation.

Agree.

It's an artifact of the way the media has everyone trained.

"If convicted he could spend up to 400 years in prison!" (counts*years per count, full load)

The math is also the way the prosecutors get people to plea.
the Open Handset Alliance doesn't seem to be really open

This is sentiment is wrong. Building a phone OS takes a lot of people and resources, that is why you build a community to do it, anyone in the community can propose changes which the community can adopt or not, but the community as a whole benefits. So the OHA is completely open in the community of OHA members.

Alibaba should either join the OHA and contribute their concepts as part of their vision, or Acer should leave the OHA and go work with Alibaba on their own phone OS. But Google objected to Acer having its cake and eating it too, so what? I don't think anyone is being 'chilled' here.

I don't necessarily disagree with the motives behind Aaron's actions, but if you're going to break the law in what may be perceived as "civil disobedience," you need to be willing to "do the time," too.[1]

I'm neither encouraging nor discouraging people from donating, but I do think that it's a little off-putting that Aaron's taking what could have been a selfless, martyrdom-filled act of civil disobedience and then changing it into "silly mistake," from which he's asking for help recovering.

[1]: 'Doing the time' as a turn of speech. I doubt Aaron would get actual jail time for this. Then again, I am not a lawyer.
Yeah, also a good point. For what it's worth: I don't support what Aaron did. I do hope he wins his case. And, like you said, it seems clear that the specific array of charges he's facing constitute a deliberate shock-and-awe campaign on the part of the AUSA prosecuting the case.

You maybe figure, the AUSA's position is, whatever happens in this case, Swartz is at least walking away with a felony conviction.
I would not call this a threat, I would call this a "friendly reminder" or a warning. The OHA members agreed not to make devices with incompatible versions of Android, Google simply pointed out that Aliyun qualifies as an incompatible version of Android. They can't take Alibaba to court for that because Alibaba has not agreed to not ship devices with incompatible Android implementations.
I can attest that aaronsw.com has been under the control of the Aaron Swartz for years and years. (I know because I just grepped my bookmarks file.)
Awesome, thanks again
Hi Thomas,

I never claimed that the two cases are the same. Just that Aaron's case reminded me of it.

You are right, Randal never had a motive remotely close to Aaron for any greater good of any sort. [In fact I will go on and argue that there is no reason Aaron should be prosecuted since the plaintiff has decided not to pursue the case against him].

What I meant was that (same as the parent) although Aaron's goals may have been good, I do not agree with the manner he went about achieving it.
I guess that depends on what you are doing.

If you have a 10k csv file and want to make a graph using javascript, I believe it could come handy.
Cheap relative to their revenue, $2.4 billion is still a LOT of money.

Bell Labs in 1982 had an annual budget of $1.6 billion which in 2012 dollars comes to about $3.6 billion.

I believe Xerox PARC had a relatively petite budget of $17 million or so in 1979, so incoming dollars are probably a very imprecise measure of R&D quality.

>It is the law. The fact that you're even asking this question suggests that I'm wasting my time arguing with you.

Yes I know it's the law. I should have been more clear:

Do you propose it be the exclusive law.

And the point of my reply is that speed limits are not artificially low, that's simply your contention, one that you have failed to provide any proof for.
Whether Google is an absolute monopoly depends on how you define the market. It isn't a monopoly in the market for consumers to buy mobile phones BUT in the market for manufacturers to license mobile phone OSes it probably does have a monopoly position in the market.

WebOS, Boot to Gecko and even WinMo have fairly small proportion of the market even combined.
"Did a friend leave Facebook open? Mess with it now" sure sounds like encouraging unauthorized access to me, tiny "in no way encourages" message notwithstanding. If it actually removes all friends like the button says it does, that's definitely malicious.

Further, the "We only use the word Hack in our name to concisely disclaim the site's ability to mess with one's facebook account." makes very little sense at all. Did you mean proclaim instead of disclaim?
Sorry wouldn't do that in the future if that's so disturbing.
Many of our apps are listed there.

As a policy we don't submit our apps in any store other than Google Play Store for android as we believe in having one Android platform is beneficial for community (Including Amazon Store).

Take down notice? Where to send it? So Hire a lawyer in China to fight them? How long will that battle go on and are we too naive to assume we can fight Alibaba and win in China under their law?

I am glad Andy picked this fight.
