Not really.

If you've got a great product and there's no competition on par in the market, you can charge what ever you like and people will pay (photoshop, maya, resharper, etc).

A sale like this just spikes interest and no doubt drives a lot of chatter which will pull other full price paying customers to the site to buy more stuff.

As a company with shareholders, can you really justify throwing away profits by cutting your prices permanently by 75%?

For this to be a reasonable proposition you need 4x your current customer base that you can prove wont buy your product unless you slash the price.

You'd probably see some rise in volumes, but 500%?

O_o I"m dubious.

I stoutly maintain that we need to strongly enforce term limits on all politicians and have tighter regulation and control as to how they are funded. If you tackle these two problems you will get better government, and less special interest which are the two things crippling us at the moment.
An overreaching, irrelevant slogan title that says nothing. I'd assumed I'd be taken to an interesting article, not a page of links to About Us type info.
That's what this bit was about:

Civil liberties groups "aren't shedding any tears over the demise of
the Feinstein-Lee amendment," because they objected to the fact
that it protected only U.S. citizens and permanent residents, rather
than all persons present in the United States.
Sounds like your usage of term "cargo cult" has been cargo culted.
I'm not sure which country you are from but to be honest, the "all humans are equal under law" thing doesn't fly in Europe either. A relatively recent example is the German law that dictates that all non-German residents, when they marry someone overseas, should have their spouse pass a German language proficiency exam. German citizens are not required to do so. There are many other examples from Germany, and other European countries.

Why do you assume photo redistribution is National Geographic's concern? Perhaps they are more worried about the ToS changes allowing Instagram to sell off use of the National Geographic brand within the service.

The ToS currently read "Instagram may place such advertising and promotions on the Instagram Services or on, about, or in conjunction with your Content". Switching to "you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions" plus "You acknowledge that we may not always identify paid services, sponsored content, or commercial communications as such" seems to give Instagram greater latitude to advertise with the identities of the service's users rather than just the content they have shared.
The Progressive movement's attempts to circumvent federalism date to the beginning of the 20th century, so you can hardly cite a 1941 case to defend your assertion. That was four years after FDR's court packing scheme and eight years after the formation of the National Recovery Administration.

As far as I can tell, you only see the Tenth Amendment as a tautology because you take for granted the makeup and principles of the American government. It was not at all a given at the time that the Federal government would leave sovereignity to the states and only exercise certain defined powers. For example, it has largely ceased to do so today, in violation of the Tenth Amendment.

Is the improvement of 3D printer resolution simply a matter of time and engineering or are there new technologies that require significant R&D?
Rational and irrational are not a complete set of descriptors. One can be rational and quite ignorant, for example, simultaneously without contradiction. It all comes down to levels of abstraction, frames of reference, and perspective. Unless, of course, you believe in an all-knowing intelligence. Which would be ironic for a scientist.

"Turns out, he claims, “they used to print The Oregonian down here, way back.”

The pressmen, one imagines, worked day and night down here, working the lumbering machines, spitting out another edition of the day’s business."

I used to be in that industry. I don't think they printed this paper in the basement (at least not a newspaper). I've had experience getting even small printing machinery into a basement (that was not even as sub grade as this one). It's a big task. You have to either cut a whole in the floor or take it down a bilco type basement door. Generally it would be on reinforced first floors or possibly even above that on reinforced floors (where it could easily be craned into windows if necessary). Then you have the issue with paper down and up most importantly.

It's hard to say exactly based on the info provided in the article. If this was done by web it most certainly wouldn't be in a basement as you would need ceiling height in addition to size and weight of the equipment. And it wouldn't make any sense. Also, you have issues with humidity in basements that have an impact on printing inks and paper. And you would also have the rolls of paper most likely (or sheets once again hard to say w/o more details) to get in and out of the basement? What would be the reason that you would want to do all that extra work?

I don't see it as a new thing, depending on your definition of "new thing." I think the rolling back of federalism and the Tenth Amendment mostly dates to the beginning of the 20th century, with most of the heavy lifting handled by Wilson and FDR.

And although you are correct that prevailing interpretations of the Constitution allow for arbitrary Federal power, I don't believe that those interpretations are supported by the plain text nor by historical understanding of the Constitution.

In principle, not every number can be directly expressed as the result of a nontrivial Ackermann function or Knuth operator (just as not every number is a square or a cube) - although there is a section in the Knuth page you linked on how to represent any nonnegative integer as a series of Knuth-type operations.

I would imagine, though, that to represent an arbitrary integer between 0 and n still needs ceil(log_2(n+1)) bits - since you have to distinguish between n+1 choices, whichever notation you use.

3 Things You Need To Know About Entry-Level BD & Partnerships at Startups
I definitely feel misled. The appeal gives you the distinct impression that without your donation they might not be able to keep the lights on. It talks about how many servers they have (and other costs, etc.) and implores you to "take one minute and keep it online another year." It definitely erodes my trust in them to know that they have plenty of money to operate.
I think a problem is the difference between the personal and commercial licenses. If they put too much of a price disparity there, it creates a downward pressure on the commercial licenses. Right now the commercial licenses are pretty cheap already, so I don't think they need lowering. At the same time, the personal use licenses are still quite expensive for hobby projects. This deal seems like a good way to bridge the gap.

I didn't really glean any new information from this article. essentially it was not the best use of my time.
The key point is to cause pain.

A fine high enough to hurt financially the person breaking the rules is one option (that's what governments usually do). Other good option is public embarrassment. I used the $1 fine for people late to meetings, but we also counted the number of times each one was fined, so there was an extra incentive to avoid.
The site seems to be back up and running now.
I would give the team some credit, given the time constraints (they had a lot of other jurors to check, too), and the degree of apparent deception or confusion on Hogan's own part.

Consider timelines, too. Even with all of the oddities in the jury results, the degree of Hogan's specific involvement in swaying the jury only came light after his own public interviews.
By god, that very well might be it! I will have to test that theory be recreating the circumstances as accurately as possible. To science!!!

In the past, the deficiencies of their Emacs keybindings have made it difficult for me to switch (from Eclipse which gets this mostly right, and has the Emacs+ plugin if you need more Emacs features). But IDEA 12 made some big progress in this area: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2012/03/more-emacs-for-the-f...

I've only used it briefly, but the only thing missing that bothered me was lack of "Quit" action (defaults to Ctrl-G in Emacs) which I use frequently, but they appear to be getting all the important things correct.

I'm not sure whether these improvements have made it to their other tools besides IDEA 12.

When the wheels of politics hit the ground, all science is out the window. Many politicians love to claim that the science overwhelmingly supports their policy prescriptions, when it most often can't be said to either support or oppose any particular policy (which is a central point of the article). If you disagree with the policy, and want your voice to count, sometime you have to hold your nose and join forces with people who are wrong in different ways.

If you've ever voted for a politician with a reasonable chance of winning, you've had to make the same tradeoff.
LOL. Read some more of his stuff, he's really, really good at rubbing people up the wrong way, and quite deliberately. His unwavering support for tougher IP laws would probably be funny if it didn't just wind me up sooooo much.

Because quantum.
I don't get it, first it says the numbers mean how many BEATS it's in the air, next it says the numbers mean how HIGH it's in the air. Does the same number mean both?

E.g. it says using 3 balls is 333.
So does juggling with 3 balls but throwing them higher in the air become 444 then?
That makes no sense, because it also said that even numbers mean the ball lands in the same hand.
There's no legal grounds for prohibiting reimbursing you, but there's lots of grounds for revoking your license if you violate the terms of the license.

It's actually a valid scenario. Suppose you want to evaluate IDEA for your company but need more than 30 days. You could buy the personal edition and use it. After your evaluation is done, the company reimburses you. If you liked it, presumably your company bought a site license at the same time which you can use instead. If you didn't just stop using it.
It also means that organizations that only accept commercial software due to bureaucratic concerns such as requiring a support contract, needing a corporate name on their tools to be considered "respectable," etc now have access to a technique that the research community discovered how to do years ago. Effectively, it's now an "enterprise solution."
That's called the Internet.
Wow, that's actually spot on.

A clever way of doing it would be to ask people who are already attending the concerts to submit their photos. Or, you know, asking the bands themselves.

Hiring somebody, buying them a camera, sending them to the concert to take photos is what I would classify as the least cleaver way of solving the problem.

I think you misinterpreted.

We have $X to spend. We have $Y left at the end of the year ($Y < $X). We go though our system and say "who can deliver us the quickest, most error free, content? Ok, give them $Y for whatever they have that our customers might enjoy.

The reason you only see Elite Squad 2 is the same reason that you only see a lot of stuff -- because the price they wanted for the other one was too much.
what I said is that the advocates of government spending only shift the burden of decision making and don't really propose anything at all.

Of course, advocates of privatization are doing the same thing: shifting the decision-making and not really proposing anything at all. Both markets and governments are voting mechanisms.

Difference is, in a market, the dollars vote, and in a government, the people vote.

Then we have to start talking about the signal/noise ratios of both mechanisms...

The thing is, I don't feel like spending hours of system tuning on Debian like I used to do. Maybe I should give debian or gentoo another try and check if they fixed the problems they use to have. But this also takes time away from the funnier stuff like programming and creation.
Very good explanation, the smoothie-recipe decomposition approach is the one I used when I taught this to students (I used drinks, but well). However, this example really works only for teaching Fourier Series, which should be the first step to the FT anyway. If you want to understand this stuff, the order you should approach, I think is the Fourier Series, the FT (ignoring many mathematical difficulties), the discrete-time FT, which has its own quirks.

That's not correct. It's because licensing movies on DVD is monumentally cheaper than licensing content for online streaming. One requires a deal with the studio, the other just requires picking up a DVD somewhere (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine).

"Aren't humans equal to Americans or US law?"

This is widely debated in America; take a look at the debates over illegal immigrants some time, especially among people from states that border with Mexico.

"Americans are more concerned about keeping hold of hard core military weapons in their homes"

It is illegal to keep most military weapons in one's home in America; anything beyond a sidearm is too heavily regulated in this country. When you see pictures of Americans with military-style rifles, what you are actually looking at are civilian variants like the AR-15, which do not have a "full-auto" or "burst" mode.

As an American, I can tell you what my view on this is: AR-15s and AK-47s are not the problem here. It is relatively rare for such guns to be used by criminals. Tens of thousands of people are murdered with guns each year in this country, and the majority of those murders involve handguns. While we do get the occasion lunatic who goes on a rampage with a rifle (like the recent tragedy in Connecticut, although even he carried handguns), what is more common is gang violence, and gangs prefer guns they can conceal easily: handguns. A common pattern in home burglaries is for the thief to check nightstands, dresser drawers, and other places people commonly hide handguns, because handguns are in high demand on the black market.

It's a very nice IDE but I found that it felt too slow and laggy compared to a text editor. In my case the bells and whistles weren't worth feeling like I was typing on a dialup shell so I stopped using it.
It's easy to assume that a sale price is a better year-round price, but it doesn't always work that way. Yes, there's pent up demand for the 75% off price, but the people who are buying it are the people who didn't want to buy it at full price. JetBrains has been in business for a while and must have clearly sold a LOT of licenses at full price for them to be releasing new products/versions.

Flash sales like this are used to maximum revenue. They earn full price most of the year and do flash sales to get everyone that doesn't want to pay full price to pay something.

Coupons work the same way. If your price sensitive you'll spend the time to clip coupons and get the better deal. If you're less price sensitive, you won't "waste your time" with coupons and will pay full time. Sales and profits increase for the company.
