One possibility that the article seems to ignore is that in the future, robots may be explicitly programmed to follow laws of war and rules of engagement. There's already been some research into this [1], and some people argue that autonomous robots could eventually be better than humans at following international law in combat. It does seem like a stretch given the present state of AI, but in the future there might be treaties that specify the algorithms that autonomous systems have to implement if they're going to be deployed to combat situations.

You want management to do smth? it has to be their idea
Signed up, looking forward! Managed to get a 'pending' ticket that was dropped by a fellow HNer. Thanks, whoever you are.
Unless you happen to be standing too close to someone a human decides to kill with a drone, of course.
At least when it comes to systems programming, but probably across our whole field, most seeming impossibility has more to do with fear than real difficulty. I've spent a lot of time clumsily trying to paint a target on exactly what that fear is, but I've learned by having a lot of crazy stuff shoved into my face as a security researcher that if you can just get yourself to focus on a task and start coding, a lot of contraptions that seem so hard to build as to be implausible are actually the work of just a day or two; at least, the kernel of those contraptions (emulators, hypervisors, compilers, debuggers, drivers, interpreters, routing protocols, static analyzers).

If you have a basic aptitude for coding, not knowing how hard a task is isn't a liability; it's a powerful asset. If you haven't actually done real work on an OS, you wish you thought it was as easy as this guy does.
DRM has a purpose, and it can be successful even without perfectly achieving its goals. People tend to avoid effort, and if you can make pirating content more difficult than obtaining it legitimately, most people will obtain it legitimately.

I haven't yet met a DRM scheme that doesn't achieve this purpose backwards(1). What it really rests on is that people don't know they could just get it easier on "allmyvideos.net".

There is no fundamental reason why information deserves to be free, it's just easier to copy than physical things.

Its not just easier. A copy has zero marginal cost. That makes it special and different than anything that came before. DRM seems to just be a monkey-patch to try to get that marginal cost to be non-zero. I'm not saying that it deserves to be free. I'm not even saying that I think it should be. I'm saying that it IS free. We don't want it to be, because our economic models don't support it (yet), but that's its natural state.

I stand by "DRM is silly". If that money were spent providing a better, easier product, they'd make more than they do now with DRM. It seems like they're perfectly willing to spend $3 to keep from losing $1 to piracy. It feels like a kind of willful ignorance.

No data, of course, just a strong opinion, held loosely.

(1) It doesn't take long outside the US to find out that there are plenty of things DRM makes impossible to aquire legitimately.

YC Candidates: Prepare For That Interview Here
I'm curious what would happen if you cut out all administration of technical solutions entirely at universities with top notch computer science departments. Right now so many of the technical solutions are antiquated crap. If people had no choice but to solve this problem on their own, but had access to some good developers at their school, would some interesting open-source projects eventually rise from the initial confusion?

Take course scheduling for example. Are there any well known open-source course scheduling solutions out used by many universities? If not, why not? Every time we see an industry with a dearth of open source tools, we should be worried and be asking why.
Name one real-world DRM system that makes piracy look less attractive for content (movies, music, books).

The only successful shops I can think of, such as Amazon, Steam, etc., aren't successful due to DRM (at least, not from the piracy perspective). It's due to an easier shopping experience, with the DRM getting out of the way. I'm not sure you can even meaningfully call Amazon MP3's approach DRM: it's just watermarking.

Pirating content is trivial and easy. In order to compete, you have to make an as-nice experience. Buying a book on the Kindle store is _easier_ than torrenting the book (if only slightly) - DRM has nothing to do with this aspect. DRM doesn't even remotely stop the spread of content.

The only time I've heard DRM being remotely effective is really complicated systems on games, delaying a crack by a week or so, which apparently increases sales (at the cost of plenty of bad-will from paying customers) - although I'm not aware of any published studies that really investigate that and compare to the negative sides. This is the only time your analogy of medicine delaying death makes sense; one small use case, and only for specific programs, not general content.

But for content? DRM is a non-solution, really.
No he didn't. He understood the science - and wrote a highly-public letter to the president arguing it would be better for the US to build one than to have it dropped on them by the Germans - already at work. But he had no hand in building it. Keep in mind, Einstein would have been in his mid-60s during the war, and a German at that.
Tablets already have their Movable Type. It's called... Movable Type. I understand that the current fad is to go back to native, from HTML5, but for very content-centric app (i.e. one designed to make text easy to read), it makes sense to write it as a webapp. You're not transferring massive amounts of data. You're not dealing with the same level of interactivity requirements as, say, a game. Your job is to display text in a clear, easy-to-read fashion. I think this is something that mobile browsers can already do quite well. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel with a native app, when we can build on Movable Type (or some other blogging platform) to make it more mobile friendly.
Thanks. It turns out I enjoyed this very much, and though the syntax was a bit foreign it made a lot more sense than I expected.

Than you'd expect they'd be basically treated as sales, and actually account for the amount they bring in.

Also sales is often a hella hard job with high turnover.
Facebook Thinks Elbows Are Boobs and Take down Picture
"Not newsworthy" is a valid critique of a submission from a news site, but you should avoid making it of blogs like this. The author didn't submit their own post. I know you're implicitly criticizing the submitter (and the voters), but that's a subtle and annoying distinction.
I eat their Scottish oatmeal nearly every morning. I get 12 lbs delivered every 3 months. Love it!
If you want to expand DRM to mean "all information security, anytime, anywhere", then you can coerce truth out of your statement.

But such a definition of DRM is pointless and tries to brush over the fact that actual DRM implementations (as in copy-protection schemes used by Amazon, iTunes, Bluray, etc.) are worthless.
I've actually had that question for management in general. I'm sure that much of what management--reasonable management, anyhow---does is valuable, but is it that valuable? I really don't know.

For programming, at least, I think it's partly just historical. That's how it's always worked. In a different setting, like a factory, this makes sense as no factory worker is going to have a big positive effect on productivity while a good manager might. But for programming, the ratio of productivity between programmers and managers is much less biased towards the latter.

I guess more progressive software development companies actually are changing this, paying programmers relatively more and reducing the amount of management. So perhaps it's just a matter of the industry adapting slowly.

I think there are going to be many parallels between professors and programmers, so the two questions probably overlap a fair amount. On the other hand, there are also many differences, so perhaps that sort of work is more (or maybe less) important in a university than in a software company.

I think his critique of linux files layout and other points made are completely spot on. Me and I am sure others often were thinking how it would be great if things were different. I happen to know why those folders are named as they are, and they are completely arbitrary. He also started on it, did some initial progress. So he did a php before, boo-hoo.

I would prefer he decided to fork linux and change things he didn't like, then start from skratch. However, there is a great value starting from scratch. I wish I had a life :) to join him and figure out things together, it would be a blast, how many times in your life you have a chance to work on actual modern OS.

I believe it is totally possible for him to accomplish what he started, if knowledgeable people would join him and work with project together. Today with amazing tools, it is good time to create a new OS that would have modern tooling.

I wrote recently on my blog about a need for developer distribution of linux. Strangely this is still missing. http://softwaredevelopmentinchicago.com/2012/10/17/ubuntu-al...

It is great that we are discussing this. That is how things start.
I hope you have the empathy to understand how terrible this idea is. Seriously, <3
Amazon Raises $3 Billion in First Debt Offering Since 1999
before the win8 store was there, the developer was able to choose how to store assets ect. you can for example precompile every assets into a binary archive, if that is changed the app won't start
the point now is that microsoft is more or less forcing the developer to use their way of packaging applications and their way of packaging an application is not secure! This is not limited to the issue of removing ads, if someone can modify any files of an application without consequences, then a virus will be able to do the same: just write a virus that adds some malicious code into one or more apps and the next time the user uses the app, any data the app has permission to access could be send to an evil server
Part of the advantage of Pascal at the time is that it was created explicitly to allow for fast parsing. C and especially C++ are much harder to parse.

Nashorn is a JavaScript runtime based on the InvokeDynamic instruction and series of APIs added to the Java VM in Java 7. These APIs are set to be radically improved in Java 8, compiling the existing JVM instruction to bytecode which will pass through the full HotSpot compiler.

If you're interested in InvokeDynamic, perhaps you'll check out the slides on a talk I gave about it:

DRM isn't like a lock exactly. Locks keep people out period.

DRM tries to keep people from making off with the stuff in the house after you've already let them in through the door.

DRM schemes seem mostly to be misunderstandings about how encryption and authentication fit together.

No, they contain marshaled bytecode. I documented the format at http://daeken.com/python-marshal-format a while back (should still be more or less correct).
"more so, because his wife accepted it"

That people cope with emotional abuse in different ways does not justify emotional abuse. As plenty of people mentioned in the thread, this was a different time when women had less possibilities and support systems for themselves.
As you've mentioned, admin doesn't deal with scheduling really since it's mostly automated and what they do aren't worthless things, necessarily. What does happen, however, is mostly repetitive and overlapping work.

“This is a $2.2 billion operation—you’ve got to have some people involved in administering it, managing it, running it, leading it,” he says. “We’re about as lean as we can afford to be.”

As Acting President Timothy Sands stated, they need people to manage things for the entire university. The university itself, however, is comprised of many different schools. Each of these have their own admin to function.

Some schools, however, overlap in what they teach and do. Other schools don't have the same demand as they used to. Others have difficulty in being self-sufficient (i.e. difficulty fundraising) and rely entirely on state funding. The same goes for departments within schools, which also tend to have their own admin. For all of these cases, it makes much more sense to consolidate in order to reduce reptition and overlapping work as well as costs. So why hasn't this been done? It does happen, but, as you can probably guess, bureaucracy tends to get in the way. Each school/department formed for a reason, and they don't want to be "acquired" in a sense, especially the admin because their jobs will be at risk.

I remember being told about a discussion between several deans and an alumni of the university who went on to become a billionaire. They were discussing several things with one of the topics being the budget and the university's future. The alumni suggested a plan to form a new school by consolidating a few of the schools and departments since what they did was overlapping or complimentary. No one agreed to it.

> Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter signed

Shouldn't something this important be implemented at a higher level?

I'd think there ought to be a new Geneva convention about the rules of robot warfare. Get all the countries capable of making deadly robots to agree on what kinds of tactics are okay and the chain of command/responsibility issue addressed by this memo.

Of course there's no guarantee that all countries will sign it, or that those that do will keep to their promises, or that it will regulate terrorists.

I do approve of the move; it's definitely a step in the right direction. It's better than having no rules on the issue, or rules saying that software should have the power to make those decisions.

But the government should be taking a stronger stance on the issue.
Can't make this one, but certainly interested in attending the next.
Interesting. I'm no JVM expert but it seems like they will be leveraging the aforementioned MethodHandles and InvokeDynamic for speed gains with JS.

I'm interested in how this will stack up to Rhino over the long term not just in performance but especially in ease of use.

Rhino is ridiculously easy to use and the "javaToJs" method(s) are wonderful.

Can anybody shed light on any over newer JVM features these guys are planning on utilizing (and why)?
Actually, to publish a magazine style app you don't need to be very technically capable. Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is a surprisingly capable tool and can spit out newsstand/iOS compliant apps. A lot of large/legacy publishers with teams used to an InDesign workflow use it.

http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/dpsse/

It can be clunky in places and I've seen terrible magazine apps created with it, but that can be said for native apps as well. There is the Adobe creative cloud price to factor in, but if you are doing anything with creative cloud already, you have access to this.

As for actually getting into the actual iOS newsstand as a magazine, that I'm not clear about. I have the impression that Apple has tight relationships with legacy magazine publishers and gives them priority.
Everyone had a web browser. Not that many people have access to the Apple store thing. Maybe if it was more universal.

We're mostly a SQL Server shop, but we have a client on Oracle and we're exploring Postgres as well. In the enterprise realm (e.g. MS) you typically stick with the enterprise db systems, but not always--that's why we're looking into Postgres. But to be honest, our clients that have invested in the MS stack are already well-versed in SQL Server. It's rare when the entire "picture" can justify open source stuff when they've already invested in a proprietary stack.

That's a huge assumption.

Anyone with a few years of experience in the software field has heard the following: I'll pay you N dollars to X but you have to finish by unrealistic Y. I'm the sole provider of a household of 4, so in this kind of circumstances I'll agree to minimum features or specific features plus additional features if time allows. I'll make it very clear that the client can't have their cake and eat it too. Sometimes it's merely a matter of economics, so don't go hanging anyone yet.
No this was this very dry and boring management textbook from, I'm guessing, the 70's. As far as I could tell it was meant as a college textbook and this Machiavellian treatise on office politics in the middle was written just as prosaically as the rest.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you are misreading that. A technology that "effectively controls access" means that it has the effect of controlling access. It's not a qualitative statement on how well it works.
