Maybe, but I think there is also a reasonably straightforward interpretation of self-modifications as being mere processing output and not a derivative work (since computers cannot currently hold copyright anywhere that I know of). Now, if a person ran the self-modifying code (for example, by emulating a Turing machine with a pen and paper) and distributed the output (for example, over a network, as a result of running the program), the person might have the obligations of the GPL (or be in breach of them, if he or she distributed a derivative work in violation of them as a result of interpretation), if they licensed the code under the GPL, in the same way that processing/modifying and then distributing any GPL code would, whether the tools used were GPL or not. If that person were the original copyright holder, however, they could still do whatever they want (for example, releasing the modifications without the GPL) since they have the full rights, not merely the GPL-granted ones.

The big question this raises is: on a network of devices, what constitutes the operator's computer and what is the threshold past which execution would constitute distribution. It goes without saying that IANAL.
Who Really Owns Your Personal Data?: Critical Eye
From the little explanation offered, this sounds like a great idea. I'm often going to the cinema by myself because none of my close friends are into the same movies as me. Plus there could be room to expand into different niches with it, like dating.

I think having the Facebook sign in is fair in this case.

On the downside, the appearance of the site looks pretty poor, a classic case of bootstrapitis.
I understand your concerns, but you're basically doing exactly what I was complaining about. Deciding that because you had a bad experience, EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this field is an idiot. Hell, I've interviewed thousands of engineers over the past few years. If I decided engineers had x feature because a few engineers did something stupid that would be unfair, as is this.

Back a long time ago my friend and I used to start a movie at exactly the same time on our respective computers. We'd have headsets to be able to chat about it as we watched. Is this was Gotcompany is? Or?
Hey thanks for letting me know of the bugs. Presently I am not disallowing repeated submissions. Earlier submitting a review required you to be logged in. However, I thought that might put off users who didnt want to go to the hassle of signing up with an account. But yes that is something I need to solve. Also, you are correct - there is not much user input validation. So lots of work that needs to be done.

So instead of paying for health insurance if we get sick, the system promises us that we will pay for managed care all the time. Isn't that the promise of HMO? What is different between a "Medical home"? Do we need government action or does Ted Kennedy's 1973 HMO Act provide enough leeway for this kind of managed care?
Seems this hacker news is kinda popular hihi, who knew. http://imgur.com/NptDeRZ
This reminded me of something I saw at the Science Museum in London a few years ago.

A round clock face is used to represent the history of the earth and a narrator tells us the geological events that happen as the clock hands travels around the clock face. At a few seconds to midnight, we're told this is when humans appear.

I thought it was a clever way of illustrating how human history occupies such a tiny segment in the overall scale of the earth's history. (I don't know if the exhibit is still there)
It seems to me that health insurers are already aligned with the goal of keeping patients from receiving care for acute conditions, so perhaps some of them, being private companies, unencumbered by special interests or government bureaucracy, will adopt systems like the one outlined in this article. Maybe that's a cynical outlook, but since it has been demonstrated that hospitals, being for-profit, are tragically misaligned with maintaining patients' wellness.
AKA "solid colors"
My best attempt at explaining how it works:

1) you put in you Facebook info (which asks for friends, friends locations and the ability to post [I denied that])

2) Your friends either see the automatic post then also log in and see what they mutually want to see? There's also a watch with anyone feature... I assume that's the public.

3) you then mark a movie watched so no one else contacts you about seeing it.

Here is my problem: my friends will probably never use this. Also, the responsive layout hurts to use on mobile. Suggestion: it needs to be able to find out what movies my friends are talking about either on Facebook or twitter. I like the concept, and this is a good starting point, but it needs to suck me in instead of having me wait for friends.

No. The movies listed are all currently only released in theatres.

Since it's leveldb underneath the usual problems with write rate apply: its quite easy to get leveldb into a position where writes completely lock up for minutes at a time, and the machine is tearing itself to shreds trying to complete merges to keep up with writes.

I think some people are frustrated that he's using the superior alternative in funding, but is planning to distribute via traditional methods... so donors pay for the movie twice, once to get it made and then once again via the theater or bluray or dvd or whatever.

“The largest group in the top one percent of income in America are physicians.”

It is going to be very challenging to introduce changes that negatively impact a profession with the social respect and the deep pockets physicians have.

It could probably succeed in a countries like Canada, Sweden or Germany, but overcoming entrenched interests in the US and not getting labelled "socialized medicine"[1] in the process is unlikely.

" I don't really understand your comment. You seem to simultaneously acknowledge the problem and complain about someone else acknowledging and doing something about it."

There isn't much to understand really. While there are many bad recruiters you should just archive their email. There are some good ones. The more ways good ones have to contact you (though I would admit, contact through a community other than linkedin would generally be a signal of a "good one") the more ways you have to make a connection. With bad recruiters, simply archive their email, with good ones, just keep in touch.

The implication that the OP is "doing something about it" by deleting their linkedin account and making blog post #428934892 where people complain about recruiters because of a bad experience is a bit ridiculous. What does that accomplish? I guess I just don't really see whining about a problem as doing something about it. Seems like the flavor of the week to talk about how recruiters suck because you had a bad experience with one and that one just wants to get a rep by pretending like they're so overwhelmed with headhunter emails they just can't handle it. As many have said, bad recruiter=hit archive. good recruiter=build a relationship with. That is a much better way to "do something about it" than writing another blog post about how bad recruiters are because you didn't like one...
We have a stupid amount in common, sent you an email with a question about something. I promise I'm not a recruiter.

The "I tried to call you" e-mail brings me to my tangential pet peeve: why can't more recruiters do more of their business by e-mail?

Seriously, if you want to chat with me on a matter that I'm going to need discretion in (like, say, leaving the company that owns the cubicles) we're going to have to arrange a time in advance.

That's a lot of effort to find out that my skills are a poor match for the position, or (as happens a lot) that I've already been talking to your client.

> The free market offers no incentive to give health services to people who cannot pay for it.

That's why we balanced the market with limited regulations, such as requiring Emergency Departments to treat all patients regardless of their ability to pay. It's also why we established Medicare, Medicaid, and the VHA so providers can get paid for treating patients with limited means.

With the new health reform, it's why we are providing insurance pools so people who do not have benefits through work can benefit by shared risk and still buy health insurance on their own. Health reform also includes an individual mandate to incentivize everyone who can afford it to purchase health insurance.

> these services will reduce hospitalization by 33% and costs by 22%.

> how are you going to recoup the costs and in particular, how does that benefit the populace in aggregate?

You seem to be making contradictory points.
Thanks, I found out that grower enthausiasts have a lot of data to remember so thought it would be a cool app to make. I noticed that cannabis cultivation is really big on the internet so asked a reddit community what app they would like. My first prototype looked like twitter but they didn't really care for that. They just wanted an easy way to link data to a certain date. Would also love to have some vegie growers on the site but it's hard to get a foot in smaller communities without looking like a spammer. Anyway it's not really a commercial project but I do get a kick out of people using and enjoying my website.

I guess the problem I have is that people seem entirely unable to do anything but "well all recruiters suck" nowadays, when that is very, very clearly not the case. Of course a lot of recruiters suck and are annoying, but when you translate that into "all recruiters suck, fuck them, I'm not talking to them", frankly you're hurting yourself.

In the last 3 weeks I've had a couple different CTOs ask me to meet so I can teach them a bit more about hiring. I'm not harassing these people into taking a meeting. They are emailing me because they know that I can teach them skills that would help them and their company grow. If people want to shut out a source of value like this, than that is their own choice, but it's certainly not one I agree with.

While I appreciate the effort that went into this (and keeping in mind that taste is indeed a very subjective thing), I just don't feel comfortable with this corralling of styles and colors.

Math is great for winning court cases. I got pulled over 12 years ago, and went into the magistrate hearing with a drawn out model indicating how the cop was either dangerously speeding himself to pull me over or had inaccurately assessed my speed and bumped up the speed he indicated on my ticket. The lawyer took one look at my sheet full of equations and said "Well, just watch your speed next time." He let me off without any fine and dismissed the case. I would always advise high school students who say "I don't need math" to understand that the world is shifting such that people who know math are becoming very powerful. Especially here in America, where no one would ever admit to being "dumb" and will therefore do anything they can to avoid doing math and looking bad. This is a serious weakness, and can easily be exploited if you ever run into a crafty mathematician.

> "Why isn't my regex doing what I intend it to?" I've found that question to be by far the most frustrating and time-consuming issue with developers I've talked to

While I would totally use this tool, this statement indicates to me that he talked to a specific subset of developers.

I know that's kind of what the article is about, but still, this sentence makes it sound like he has solved the biggest time-sink for software developers.
I am guessing there is a user Hash Collision.

Google uses hashes for a lot of things. Hash tables are very fast, and great for database look up. In Python if there is a hash collision both entries are compared and resolved by comparison. This is still fast because doing a compare against 4 collisions is still much faster than doing a compare against 1Billion user names.

That said... The odds get to be beyond astronomical. What percentage of people are journalists? I mean if they said someone contacted us to let us know, that would be believable, but "I am a journalist, and this is happening to me" seems a lot less likely.

I'm not ready to side with Google that this is impossible, but even the response from Google doesn't sound like the Google I know. While Google is hard to get a hold of for tech support and resolution of things, if you do get them to respond to a privacy concern they are swift.

With a Teen Girl they would be even swifter.

Github is providing a space where women can store code they're working on and get feedback from select peers before releasing it publicly and they're being vilified for it? This is absurd, I've done exactly this with every piece of code I've ever released and I know many other devs who do the same, most OSS projects do so at some point in their lifetimes.

Github providing a private repo for free simply lowers the bar to getting started a little further and that can only be a good thing. Against the principles of open source? What the hell does that even mean.
