It sounds like you need money to live on. You're going to have to bring it in somehow = debt or work. No shame in having a day job especially in your field, to do that. You'll always learn something working with new people. One place I think you're less likely to learn much is in a big corporation.

If your own company is eminently practical, say less like twitter and more like ditch-digging then you should be able to bootstrap it eventually if there's a demand already out there. For a long shot where you have to monetize something secondarily to the product, I'd be less inclined to go into debt for example.
Note: You're talking about why alcohol and tobacco are legal while marijuana is illegal; but hristov was talking about whether or not someone who self-medicates with marijuana is playing with fire.
Why should distributing GNU grep necessitate releasing the source of other things that you distribute? It only seems obvious to me that they would then have to distribute the source of GNU grep.

Are they linking to grep but grep doesn't have the linking exception?
If you worked for the state of California (or an organization that has a policy to follow all CA government code even when it does not technically apply to them) then you have to consider an IP address a "network location" and must treat it as potentially personally identifying information. We only keep IP addresses for 30 days, and try to never share those IP addresses with third parties.

This is not the point. My point is that marijuana can speed up the onset of schizophrenia and should not be used by people that have family history of mental illness. It has nothing to do with what is legal and what isn't. Even if marijuana were legalized, my point would still stand.
I became an AGPL3 fan after reading many papers from the 50s->70s, before the rise of open source & the Unix sharing habits. I believe its a crying shame that all those wonderful tools and systems that I read about disappeared into the void and got hidden by closed-source approaches to development and licensing. I am fully aware that this limits certain avenues of commercialization, and I am fully OK with that. I believe that an AGPL3 world is a better world for computer science and technology.

From my perspective as an engineer in the enterprise, we value functionality very highly; if you sell us a GPL3-based hardware solution, we care that it works. We're not going to copy and resell it. We have our own products to care about and do excellent things with.
Amazing work, great model. really clean. Reinforces that IE is really messing up by not supporting webGL. Works smooth as butter in chrome for me.
GPL3 is restricted to the boundaries of the executable so he would just have to give access to the grep source code if/when requested. End of story.

I understand, and I can only imagine all the debates about naming, which programmers seem to love.

My point is just that by multiplexing a keyword, you shift the cost from one-time in-head knowledge of two keywords, to having to look at the context every time the keyword appears.

My personal preference is to reduce the cost of reading code above everything else (which is what turned me off the otherwise wonderful to write CoffeeScript, for example).
If you want the benefits of open source without the responsibility of sharing consider a BSD licensed product.

It will probably be an easy one too, since the game can apparently run "for a few minutes" without network connectivity so I'm guessing it will be all client side with the server just handing storing save files/data etc and real work being client side.

This also means it will be possible to hack your city and get it into the persistent world, so if your city affects nearby regions the game will be a mess.
"H1-B is a big step towards green card status for many people, and green card holders are entitled to all of these things."

No that is the point. With this statement you are justifying the fact that Visa holders don't receive the same commitments as PRs and citizens because they may or may not receive a GC in the future. Many H1-Bs have to leave the US before they even get a chance to get a GC (all the while paying their taxes and not receiving much of the benefits).

This makes them second class citizens.

You're correct. There is no circumstance under which he's compelled to open up his source code.

If the hardware system he's selling has some kind of crypto (like login passwords that you don't know!) that disallows modifications to the base system, GPLv3 can require you to give up enough control to let the user install their modified grep too. (That's still not giving away your source code, but it is more than just giving out the source code to grep.)
Looks like we're one step closer to a transcendence victory!

If you are building propriety products around lots of open-source components then being mindful of the GPL is just basic common sense. Acting like it is some hidden minefield is being disingenuous.
Yeah, that is my thought too. Maybe he thinks including a call to grep that the users shell would read/fork/exec is a type of linking? Seems like a stretch.
I would never ever put any of my friends through the pain of watching that thing - no offense.

I also really need an unbounce alternative. I'll have a look at your site when I get some downtime.

The big problem is you put every feature tahat you have in your app into the video. Thats why its kind of blah. Focus on one tihng you do based on which suorce the user comes from.

If he's coming from HN then just test your business should be enough. The user will find the other features as he explores.
I like Win 8, I work for Microsoft, but we will have to wait until its released to see how the market accepts it (and pass judgement). So saying either way is a bit early so far, its definitely a risky bet.
That's a unique interpretation of the GPL shared by no one else I've ever talked to.
> If it's executed right, opening it up to play solo on a plane should be as desirable as doing the same with Team Fortress 2.

More accurate to say "as desirable as doing the same with Diablo 3" Team based FPSs don't work for solo gamers, ARPGs and building Sims do.

There will be benefits to the online community model which for some people will be wonderful, but for others the benefits are not wanted so it's just a pile of drawbacks.
I don't believe he is stating the point at all. He is not arguing the source code for GNU grep.
Untrue.

There are some things in Dart that would be nice to have in Javascript, but I don't see why Google wouldn't just try to work them into future ECMAScript revisions. With the exception of banning eval and run-time modification of prototypes, I don't see anything that's completely incompatible with a future revision of Javascript.

I'd even bet that the ES standards committee will eventually give in on the "arrow" lambda style. ES5 has the "function(x) x * x" shorthand, but with C# and Java both settling on "(x) => x * x", I can see it happening in time.

Well yes, my point is that you can draw the line in any number of places. Even if we were to agree upon your definition — and there are many different, conflicting definitions of 'mental illness' — what constitutes a significant impact on quality of life?

At some point you have to draw an arbitrary line, and even then it's frequently a guessing game working out on which side of the line someone actually lies.
Yeah. This company was about to distribute GNU grep, meaning that they would be obligated to provide source for that version of grep, and likewise for any modifications to grep they've made. Yawn.
There is no way on God's green Earth that you can say his product is a derived work of GNU grep because it is used in the way he describes. At the very least, they just have to provide the source for grep.
Interesting, was this developed for something like a generic room in a home or something with many sources of heat like a data center?

The fraud that jumps to my mind is a hypothetical person taking a free apartment, when they are perfectly capable of supporting themselves and would do so if the alternative was homelessness. That's certainly not cheaper.

I make no claims about how common this kind of fraud would actually be.
But the society doesn't extend the same obligations or benefits. Non permanent residents and citizens are treated as second class citizens both in their financial prospects (paying the same taxes, not receiving the same benefits in SS, Medicare/aid, unemployment benefits, and especially federal financial aid among many others). Many immigrants never receive these benefits because they are forced out before they are eligible to realize them.

The penalties for any breach of the obligations also happen to be harder on many immigrants. For many, even those who are permanent residents, breaking a law that would result in probation or even a misdemeanor can result in deportation. For many, this is worse than prison. (For example, if deported I would be forced into the corrupt military of an anti-American country where 300+ people die annually from hazing alone and where I am barely fluent in the language).

The US totally has a right to control it's own borders but don't try to justify it. The immigration system of the US is at best broken, at worst inhumane.
Bringing Go development to Android would be even better, but I doubt either will ever happen, at least not as an officially sanctioned way to create native apps.

one of my friends did something very similar [without the slapping] and had the same results. he is a high stakes poker player and paid somebody just to sit next to him and make sure he didnt surf the web, chat on aim, etc while playing poker. it let the "attendant" watch a skilled player at work, and it kept the player focused and earning more money.

is it best to will yourself to not get distracted? of course, but we all know thats easier said than done and for people with high hourly rates, it is often going to be worth it to just pay somebody to help ensure compliance.
I think you're just missing my original point. I did not mean diet for 7 months then start working out. I mean start your diet for a week or two, then begin to work exercise into it.

Good point, you couldn't include GPLv3'd code into something like a Tivo, but that is hardly an unintended side-effect of the license. Whining about that would be rather silly. ;)

IMO, they disappeared exactly because they embraced the ideals you love. Of course people aren't going to work on extending and polishing these systems if they can't get paid to (at least not at the same magnitude as for the closed solutions). At least, that is what history seems to indicate so far, except in a relatively limited space where companies have both the technical expertise to modify the source AND the economic incentive to avoid paying for closed licenses.

Although that is not the situation this guy finds himself in. He seems to just be confused.
Not having tested it personally I can't say, but I'd imagine it's a lot faster.

I'd be more interested in how it compares to using postMessage which, from testing, is definitely a lot faster than setTimeout (like fast enough to be worth switching to if available).
For even greater emphasis: the FSF has a vested interest in promoting a maximally broad interpretation of the GPL. It's not legal advice, but when even their own FAQ says you're in the clear, you're likely to be pretty damn "safe."
You know when you get older you only get more responsibilities. So I'd say to use this as an opportunity to go to the valley. If you go to work at a startup it will be like getting a postgrad degree in business, and you can take that with you anywhere in the world.
I've had this for a while and really works, psychologically, to submit all those things you wished you'd submit. It may be simply because it's so, so little effort.

It's fairly common to see games in beta charge a usage fee, however I haven't really seen this in other software before. Not sure if I like it, but at least there is a free trial period as well.
I agree. Even though I'm not a JS fanboy, can't really be against the language at this point. It has evolved a very good community around it, and libraries like Jquery make it very simple to pick up. That just makes adoption of Dart less likely.
"History is full of examples of ecological manipulations that backfired."

> ...there will be plenty available through the browser anyway...

Except there won't.

Imagine:

1. No third-party browsers.

2. No non-whitelisted sites viewable in the default browser (except maybe in "legacy mode", meaning no scripts, no videos and the browser censors the text.)

3. If you're lucky, there will be an "adult mode", where you can access URLs with adult content (but the "guardians" will be notified of each URL in real-time, along with your name and address. Not the NSA, and not in secret, but one of the filtering companies we know today. And everyone living in the same street as you will get a "Warning! pervert in neighbourhood!" alert.)
That's true, but again, at least we ought to evaluate what the cost of doing nothing is. What we're doing now is pretty close to nothing, and it does have a cost, in money and in more intangible dimensions (e.g. humanitarian).
I've seen suspicious craigslist ads in the past.

Many bikes photographed in the same spot. Poor-quality photographs (blurry, etc.) that make it difficult to pick out distinguishing marks. Very little detail about the bike's components.

None of these are proof of a stolen bike, but each is a useful flag, an indicator that the ad is worth further scrutiny, and flagging could help people looking for their bike.
I hope this is optional, as I've always had this powerful irrational hatred of tilt-shift.

From what I've seen of both, TypeScript seems like the language that Google should have created in the first place. It has similar goals, but without the "let's create a whole new VM and replace the entire JacaScript runtime in all browsers" ambition (which is ridiculous).
Hm, no, that honestly sounds boring, too. Basically, all I would want is the same old Sim City approach but with more flexibility. I do think Sim City gets the basics right.

The problem with that is that it complicates the game. Games like Sim City are complicated as is, if you also add fundamentally different ways to build the basic infrastructure (including ways to mix and match) you are in danger of creating a game few will want to play. That’s why streets are the basic building block.

I'm not saying it couldn't be improved. Just saying that what matters is if, overall, our conversion rate is better with it.

Then, if it is, we can spend more time, money, and effort on the video. If we had spent $6,000 to learn that having an explainer video doesn't help... I'd be pissed. But if I see an improvement over the next week then I can invest more.
Has anyone ever considered engineering a disable feature into bikes? What if there was, for example, a lock for the crank that would require too much work to defeat/break. The thief wouldn't steal the bike because his costs/time/difficulty would go up. Car stereo manufacturer's had this same issue a couple of decades ago. One brilliant solution was a removable faceplate for the the stereo. The owner just pulled that out (about the size of an iPhone 5) and took it with him/her when leaving the car. Another solution was to put a matching chip in the speakers...if the stereo was stolen and connected to an unmatched set of speakers, it wouldn't work. Let's get creative and end bike theft!
I have a very dear loved one who suffers from schizophrenia. I've seen firsthand how useless the system is. Before a diagnosis, everybody (schools, friends, etc) are judging the parents because their child doesn't fit into "norms". After a diagnosis, they have no idea how to handle it, so things don't get better.

We pushed everybody out of state hospitals (which were horrible places) but never really answered the question of where those people need to go.

Fortunately, my loved one's disease is being well treated at the moment. I constantly fear the day that a serious psychotic event occurs, especially if it occurs after she moves out of her parents house (which, like most teenagers, she really wants to do).
I think there is quite a body of literature around why 8-8.5 hours is a good amount, what I really want to see is what the different benefits as functions of sleep time looks like. That information would be invaluable for doing a min-max optimisation.

6 hours tends to be my reasonable 'short sleep' time, where anything less and I am significantly tired during the day, but I am easily capable of sleeping all day if the opportunity arises. Usually, however, I think I get 7-8 hours, which tends to be ok.

A big factor also seems to be breathing function throughout sleep. I think I breathe poorly while sleeping and so don't have quite as good a sleep as I could otherwise.

That is correct.

Your double check is to take the vectors for the polynomials 1, x, and x^2 (namely [1, 1, 1], [0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 4]) and multiply out to see that you get the vectors for the polynomials 0, 1, 2x.

Your verbal description does not make sense to me. But you appear to have done the right operations.

The approach that my class universally took was to realize that if we take the coordinate system whose basis is (1, x, x^2) then the answer is easy to write down. After that you apply change of basis matrices to each side to get the answer in the requested basis.
> I cannot get a good night sleep for the life of me.

Try low-dose Melatonin combined with 5HTP and stay away from backlit displays for an hour before bed [1]. Large doses of Melatonin leave me groggy the next day, but small doses give me a solid night of sleep and eliminates the bags under my eyes. 5HTP seems to augment the effect and promote a more positive mood the next day.

[1] http://news.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=3074&setappva...

“Our study shows that a two-hour exposure to light from self-luminous electronic displays can suppress melatonin by about 22 percent. Stimulating the human circadian system to this level may affect sleep in those using the devices prior to bedtime,” said Figueiro.
If you read "harmful" as "harmful to my own interests", then the statement is value-neutral. I consider this a plausible interpretation.
