What is individual copyright? It becomes debased if you are saying it cannot be sold to corporations. Lifetime is a ridiculous capricious standard.
If you have a clearance you should absolutely not be clicking on it (if you are also paranoid and don't want to possibly fail your polygraph test -- "have you accessed or downloaded classified documents on your personal computer...?" er...oops).

Otherwise if you don't hold a clearance, I don't think they can do anything to you (however, I am not a lawyer so don't take this as a legal advice etc etc...)

Nice idea: bitcoin is converting from a novelty to a real currency so its value is going up and this isn't necessary a asset bubble because as its value goes up it actually becomes a useful currency (unlike an asset in a buble who's utility is fixed).

Problem 1) No data is given on the actually equivalent monitizations of say the Euro, or the various currencies that replaced the Austra-Hungarian Goulden Krone.

Problem 2) Even if this were true, it doesn't change the some greater fool problem. Unlike the Euro or the Krone, there is no known cut off date where the world goes "and bitcoin is legit". So people will delay spending and hope their money becomes more valuable. Sounds like it comes back to the argument over deflation.
Neat, do you still have any of your code from your 4k competition days lying around? I'd be curious to see what kinds of tricks you used.
Dude, you owe him an apology. I agree with your point but you made a major factual error and damaged your own standing in doing so. Look it up and correct your mistake rather than resorting to weasel words.
In such a case wouldn't any form of proxying be copyright infringement, even without modification be copyright infringement?

There are also other applications of modification of pages in transit, for example mobile connections often proxy a lower quality version of images (done transparently by the ISP) to save bandwidth. Also some proxies may block videos , ads etc which is as much modification as adding them.
TLDR: ISP injected script tag ads.

I heard on the latest This Week In Security that Comcast was apparently not just injecting JS, but injecting bad JS. Meaning that closures weren't used, so name collisions could occur with the actual sites users were visiting.

For this reason, I can see HTTPS becoming standard, even for public, non-logged in users. I'm in the process of updating my site to be all-HTTPS and recently got confirmation (as much as one could ever expect) from Google there's no SEO penalty (http://goo.gl/sbtxq).

The U.S. federal government is strong because it was designed to be strong. It was designed to be strong because the nation had already tried a weak national government under the Articles of Confederation, and it was an abject failure.

Not even Scalia would object to the notion that the federal government is strong. In fact he regularly rules in favor of a strong federal government, including against Larry Lessig in Eldred v Ashcroft.

I should be more specific since there are plenty of apps, even on Google Play, that outright require you to root your phone.

There is no way for an app that expects to be installed normally, using the normal system of permissions, to change out the lock screen. In practical terms, Facebook could not insist their users root their phones. For some debugging tools, that's much less of a problem.

There are "pseudo lock screens" but those are very hacky.

That's excellent. A nice variation around this that I've been keen on for a long time and have been wanting to see in modern IDEs is using 3D (or drop shadows) to simulate the nesting of blocks/closures/scopes and give the programmer an instant understanding of the different levels and depths.

Patent 7,620,565 is a good example of everything that's wrong with the patent system; it's vague and generic, nothing novel, and seemingly far reaching.

They are using claim 15 to sue over interactive chat:
"A method, comprising: monitoring a product for an occurrence in the product of a trigger event of a predefined plurality of trigger events; incrementing a counter corresponding to the trigger event upon detection of the occurrence of the trigger event in the product; displaying a user interface, configured to probe for information regarding a use of the product, if the counter exceeds a threshold; storing an input received from the user interface on a device; and transmitting the input to a server. "
They're what I'd call paleoconservatives, pretty similar to 'Rockefeller Republicans,' or so it seems to me. Although I consider myself more of a secular liberal, I find TAC well worth reading. Just looking at the comments on the articles, and you can see they generally form a respectful and considered discussion even when there are significant differences of opinions.
"Android started before the iPhone was announced."

That's true. They were actually worried about Microsoft and Windows Mobile. I believe Android's runtime was influenced by .NET Compact Framework and the mobile .NET VM. At the time, it was by far the coolest mobile app runtime architecture. ndroid took it several steps farther by figuring out how to run multiple VM instances in (relatively) small memory, among other innovations.

Now that's kind of funny.

Tech Startup Provides Consumers Insurance Advice From Licensed Agents At No Cost
InsuranceLibrary.com, a St. Paul, MN based tech startup, is launching an online consumer insurance knowledge base. The website, whose user base provides expert insurance advice and answers to at no cost, only allows actively licensed insurance agents to participate in answering questions.<p>St. Paul, Minnesota, April 3, 2013 - InsuranceLIbrary.com, a Quora-like question & answers website focused on the topic of insurance, officially launched their website to the public on April 3rd. The website, which allows consumers to ask questions related to auto, life, health, home, medicare and renters insurance, only allows licensed insurance agents to provide answers. Every agent is validated by their National Producers Number before they are able to begin contributing to the site.<p>Founder Justin Blase stated “there are a lot of question & answer websites out there that include insurance content, but the problem with those is that any random 12 year old with an Internet connection is able to answer those questions. Our agent validation process ensures that only licensed insurance professionals are answering consumer questions.”<p>The site also aims to ease the process of purchasing insurance for consumers. Blase added “a large percentage of consumers feel uneasy asking certain questions in a face-to-face setting when they are being sold a product like insurance. InsuranceLibrary.com allows consumers to ask these questions anonymously online, but then also provides easy opportunities for the consumer to directly connect with an agent once their questions have been answered. The system works very well - consumers can connect with an agent that has shown expertise in a certain topic, and agents can generate new business by answering the questions related to the topics within which they specialize.”<p>To browse the insurance knowledge base or ask an insurance question, visit www.InsuranceLibrary.com.
Your approach sounds a bit like simulated annealing, in case you need a keyword to look up more about it.
I've often thought about these larger companies who superficially try to take up the characteristics that make start-ups great without understanding the underlying cause.

I've narrowed it down to a few big reasons, but the number one driver I've come up with is desperation. When you have an ever shrinking runway, a small staff, but a glimmer of hope that there is a way out and a shared vision of some great outcome, that is when you develop a start-up culture. Not by adding snack foods and soft drinks.

But then again, this article seems to point to Facebook and Google as having the start-up spirit so clearly they are talking about some other phenomena Yahoo is trying to adopt.

The Living Computer Museum
Myres Briggs was not based on science, but Jungian pseudo-science. It's since morphed from an interesting theory (which happened to be mostly incorrect) to a pop-culture superstition.

There's a myth that people are "introverts" or "extroverts". It's a continuous unimodal attribute, not a bimodal one. There's people who are more "introverted", just as some people are really tall, but most people are just average. The "normal" person quite enjoys hanging out with friends, for a few hours a day.

I think there's another issue here - people always have double standards. It has little to do with introversion and extroversion. Try interrupting an extroverted person when they are busy, and they'll be just as pissed off.

It's probably true that highly introverted will tend to shy away from interrupting people (it's called forethought, which can be one of the things that makes them introverted). It's probably also true that extroverted people will be more direct when they want to shoo someone away. I think the main point is, people need to have the social intelligence to respect other people's personal space, and to defend their own space.

It's fashionable to think personality is a zero-sum game - introverts are smart, but lack social intelligence. That's not really true. Most people have pretty good social intelligence, but only use it when it suits them.

How My Co-founder's Dog Boosted My Productivity
Lots of people learn on AT&T syntax and don't know Intel syntax.
23. I started when I got bored of the games on the computer my parents had at the time, and I started opening random programs and eventually ended up in the QB3.0 editor. After early attempts at using it as a word processor failed (it kept complaining about syntax errors when I moved the cursor off the line) I asked my dad, and he showed me how to do

PRINT "Hello from the Computer"

And I worked my way up from there with the help system, and a lot of trial and error.

It helped that our parents limited us to 30min/day of playing games, but were okay with me spending more computer time programming (or playing my own games, though I rarely did that. Making them better was way more fun than actually playing them).

I don't remember how old I was at the time, but it was definitely I was using Windows 3.11 (it was installed, but you couldn't run any decent apps when all your RAM was used up by win). By the time we got a Win95 computer (which in fairness was probably in '98 or '99) I was pretty decent at BASIC.

I continued to play around with it 'til I started learning C++ in maybe 2003? Luckily prolonged exposure to BASIC doesn't seem to have done any lasting damage :)

My headmaster in primary school once gave a great assembly on keelhauling where he went into all the gory details of this punishment. As an 8 year old boy, I was gripped.

The part which has really stayed with me is that he said the only offense for which keelhauling was the automatic punishment was stealing. The reason he told us was that on a ship everyone has to trust each other and theft ruins that system. Stealing a shipmate's property, no matter how small, puts the whole ship in danger.

I often wonder whether it would be a net improvement to extend that severity for theft beyond a boat. Whenever I lock up my bike it bothers me what this simple act is saying about society. I now live in a country where it feels as though theft carries a far greater level of social unacceptability, a far higher level of shame associated with it. I like that. In the UK where I grew up however, sometimes taking things that are not yours is reframed as a kind of opportunistic cunning and craftiness. I hate that.

"The original series, which ran from 1971 to 1977, was so popular in Romania it was broadcast there twice a week. When ``Columbo`` stopped production in the U.S., suspicious Romanians thought their government had canceled the show because of import quotas. Fearing riots, the Romanian government begged the U.S. State Department to have the show`s star, Peter Falk, make a public-service announcement explaining the real reason for the demise of ``Columbo.`` Falk obliged and taped a TV spot, which he read phonetically in Romanian."

I don't think he's implying that every employee votes on every decision, just that decisions aren't made by a single person.

This is why widespread IPv6 can't come soon enough. You can give whole subnets to each subdomain if you feel like it, without paying a cent...
That would last until the first terrorist attack or economic crisis and then tend towards 0, because "we really need this money".

Besides you would probably be able to work around this with creative accounting. Let's say everyone wants to defund the military and put more funds into education; military training establishments now show up on the budget as "defence studies schools" because they are issuing general educational certificates to soldiers.

I think fundamentally if you think some particular government is going to just waste large amounts of tax money you should really just not vote for them. You vote in a government because you want them to make sensible choices in how to allocate resources for public projects so you can concentrate on your startup or whatever.

Sometimes this stuff can work on a local level. For example schools can have governing bodies of volunteers (usually parents) who get some say over how the school budget is used.

If it wasn't clear; that statement is blatantly false.
My reading is that they're generating programs of gradually increasing length using markov chains (because the original superoptimizer work was generating random programs of progressively greater length until one worked). So not really a classic GP scheme at al.

It seems my definition of Markov Chain Monte Carlo is more specific than yours (approximate a probability distribution using a simpler proportional one and conditional samples) while I am more generous about GP: any search technique using mutation operators on program trees.

What do you make of the fact that the blogger specifically stated that the key to the technique is searching sparsely, which suggests very large jumps and runs counter to the idea of chains? There is also no hint of the idea of probabilistic acceptance. So even my mention of annealing is likely to be mistaken.

You don't know how to define yourself because human psychology is more complex than a simple A/B choice like introvert/extrovert. Even something like gender, which you think would be cut-and-dried due to clear physiological differences, has complexities. Something as vague as 'how do I generally behave in the presence of others' doesn't stand a chance.

Introvert and extrovert are fine as loose labels, but they're really not suitable to be used as actionable terms.
