Sure:
Apache grants a patent license and a copyright license. The patent license (but not the copyright one) terminates if i sue you.
So right now the situation is:

You license your stuff under apache.

It has no patents on it.

I sue you for patent infringement.

I can still use your stuff, since the only thing that got terminated was the patent license I had received. There are no patent rights, so nothing was really terminated.
So in effect, I can sue you without worrying about how it impacts my ability to use your software.

This is true of most current open source licenses, btw. Suing does not terminate anything.

A better situation would be:
Apache grants a patent license and a copyright license. Both patent and copyright license grants terminate if i sue you for patent infringement.

Then it would be

You license your stuff under apache.

It has no patents on it.

I sue you for patent infringement.

I can't use your software anymore.

The problem is such termination clauses are at the very least GPLv2 incompatible (They have been tried). Because everyone wants license compatibility, and people like GPLv2, nobody can really make this situation. In fact, it makes the situation worse.

Worse than this, what ends up happening, often, is that Apache 2 projects (which provide some protection at least if you own patents, since you can countersue) get pressured by GPL projects to move to a less protective licenses. See, e.g., https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/2054

This was, IMHO, a bad move for the Bootstrap project (full disclosure - the company I work for refused to let Bootstrap relicense the code we contributed because we viewed this as harmful to the open source ecosystem. This is/was drupal's problem, not Bootstrap's, and you shouldn't make a bad licensing decision to make up for another)
Actually I was fine with my current account. Creating a new one means losing your post history and identity. I think one can see the problem with hellbanning here...

> Insulting your downvoters and calling people psychopaths is toxic. He would be wise to refrain from doing so in the future if he wants to continue contributing here.

Me arguing about this is probably futile.

> Also, as far as I know most (all?) hellbannings are triggered by downvoting, not mods. It certainly seems likely that in his case it was triggered by downvotes.

Then the algo seemed flawed. The post in question is only a score of -2. Is it the 'rate' at which the downvotes occur? If so, that still seems flawed.

Anyway, given the circumstances I'm pretty sure my hellbanning wasn't automatic hence why I'm posting from a "dead" account and why you won't be responding to me (or anyone giving a care for that matter - which is the point I'm making in my previous post).
Well, then I'd take it that many schools banning peanut butter outright due to the fractional number of kids with peanut allergies is... overreaction?
2312 is loosely a sequel to his Red/Blue/Green Mars series; Mercury was colonized, and Terminator built during that era. It's been a while since I've read the series, so I don't remember if there was any significant discussion of other kinds of potential settlements on the planet.

One demonstrative experiment is to go cold turkey on grains for a few weeks, then try eating something like a bagel or two. When I did this, I found that eating wheat products made me feel sick. Been largely avoiding grains since (though I "cheat" from time to time)

Braintree is interesting as they process credit cards for a LOT of startups e.g. AirBnb, 37Signals, Uber, Fab, Living Social.
People don't have allergic reactions to airborn gluten like they do peanuts. It is not the same.
"There also appears to be an increased incidence of celiac disease, with one study which looked for antibodies from 1950s American blood samples finding that celiac disease is about four times as common as it was"

"One study examined the effect of ω-5 gliadin, the primary cause of wheat dependent exercise/aspirin induced anaphylaxis, and found increased permeability of intestinal cells caused by this gliadin and another wheat albumin."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten_sensitivity#Gluten_toxic...

"Another line of research shows gliadin binds a chemoattractant receptor and causes increases of a factor that destroys tight junctions. These junctions prevent leakage around the cells that line the small intestine, resulting in the leaking of food proteins into the body."

Late reply, I know :( - Actually, it's not even the cooling outside the CPU that's the real problem, it's moving heat away at a microscopic level near each transistor. With enough power going through enough circuits nearby, the material the CPU is made out of becomes the issue.

Consider a block of metal submerged in a (hypothetical) liquid at near 0 degrees K. Despite how much heat this liquid can draw out of the block, if heat is being generated too quickly at the very center of the block, it's possible that the heat conductivity of the metal block itself limits the efficacy of outside cooling, resulting in an "overheating" center.
Just a side note on the ticket. Go get that fixed. Go into the court, tell them you don't have the money and let them decide what to do. One of three things will happen:

1) You will be required to provide community service

2) Your future wages will be garnished until you've paid the fine.

3) Your fine will be reduced to something you can pay.

There is absolutely nothing so poorly planned as having an outstanding warrant for your arrest. The next time you get pulled over, you will go right to jail. You can't predict the timing of that, but you can "fix" this problem on your own schedule if you just go in and deal with it.
> For example, any food marketed to children must “contain at least 50% by weight one or more of the following: fruit; vegetable; whole grain; fat-free or low-fat milk or yogurt; fish; extra lean meat or poultry; eggs; nuts and seeds; or beans.”

UK advice is to give children full fat milk until they are 2, and not skimmed until they are 5, and only then if they have a good diet. This is because of the fat soluble vitamins, and also because children need the energy. As part of a sensible diet full fat milk is fine.

This advice is part of the healthy drinking stuff. Children should have water or full fat milk. If you give them fruit juice dilute it at least 10 parts water to 1 part juice. Use a free-flow beaker, or a straw cup, or a regular cup, rather than a sippy cup.

All this advice from government sounds a bit preachy. But tooth removal is a significant cause for hospitalisation for UK children under 5.

Well, for one thing, some people believe that it is not the role of the Almighty State to dictate and micromanage every single action or inaction that businesses and individuals take.

Sometimes these people have the audacity to believe that businesses should be permitted to voluntarily exchange with broadcasters and that parents should be permitted to make their own choices with regard to the content their children consume.

Anyway, I agree. I don't buy this whole "liberty" nonsense either.
Konfabulator is still (unfortunately) somewhat still around in the form of Yahoo Widgets for Connected TVs, a platform I have had the misfortune of working with in the past. But I suspect this too will soon be dead as any interest that still exists in this area has already shifted to Google TV.
Unfortunately, I don't have any servers with Rackspace right now. I used to have a few Slicehost slices, but that was about two years ago.

Sensationalist speculation much?
@ your second question, the article notes that "Without communicating with the field’s experts, Zhang started thinking about the problem", so maybe he just worked on it in his free time? Not that it means he hasn't published much, but there aren't many Yitang Zhang papers on arXiv either. As far as I know he has no website, and according to UNH he is a "lecturer" rather than a professor. I'm not sure how the academic ranks work in the USA but I believe that, typically, lecturers are of lower "rank" than professors. So in that case, Zhang would have been effectively less renowned, hence "unknown", but obviously no less able.
"I still have no idea who the "experts" are. I see the same names frequently pop up on papers I read -- are these the experts?"

Yes, they are the people who are saying stuff that everyone else is quoting. In the context of your question they are "the experts." All it takes to join their ranks is to get your citation rate up :-).
>But though a corporate income tax is theoretically justified, the challenges of enforcing one may make it desirable to get rid of it as a practical matter.

That was my point. Whether or not you can morally justify it, corporate income tax is easy for multinationals to avoid, putting smaller corporations at a disadvantage and forcing companies to operate more inefficiently.
That's true of a lot of foods. Definitely true of meat, especially red meat. I don't think the fact that your stomach has to spend some time adapting to a food is really evidence that it's categorically bad for you.
Holy fsck, I just dumped core upside down looking at the HTML source of this page.
Here are my top ten: d l m o ll e pwd rm dict open.

d <foo> is short for {cd <foo>;ls}. l is ls. m is mv. o is Apple's open command. e is emacsclient.

The only reason grep is not in that list is that I do my grepping through an emacs command (M-x grep).

pwd is frequent because I do not put the working directory in my shell prompt.

My Twitter book recommend project
I've been tweaking a book recommendation engine for twitter. The algorithm is based on tf-idf of words in a user's tweets. Relevant words are extracted then fed into the amazon api.
Would appreciate feedback.

sample recommendations:

the recommendations would get much better if I used phrases instead of words. All feedback appreciated.

It seems like the jury is still out on how many people suffer from gluten sensitivity, or the extent of the negative effect of gliadin.

> A 2011 panel of celiac experts concluded that there is a condition related to gluten other than celiac disease and named it "non-celiac gluten sensitivity".[51] however, for those without celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the diet is unnecessary.
IIRC Mercury does get a mention in the trilogy!
You can limit memory and cpu usage with "docker run -m" and "docker run -c", respectively.

Docker relies on cgroups for resource limuts and accounting. So anything you can do with cgroups, you can do with docker.
Quality is the Future
That would make a lot of sense, but the explanation is, quite simply, that advertising is speech, and you can't go around banning speech because you don't like what it says and to who it's addressed.

God says...

25:15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and
he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought
after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people
out of thine hand? 25:16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him,
that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel?
forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and
said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou
hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

25:17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the
son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us
see one another in the face.

25:18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying,
The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon,
saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a
wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
It's risk mitigation, that's all. The concept of a kid going anaphylactic at your business is very unattractive.
Nothing very specific, I was specifically thinking about graph databases, since you mentioned them. There's also domain-specific datatypes, such as those implemented by PostGIS.

No, it's appropriate to the severity of the allergic reaction, unless you can show me similarly severe cases with gluten as the following:

Peanut allergies can kill a kid pretty quickly. While it is a very small percentage of people who react strongly enough to it, if you've got a kid in the school with a known hypersensitivity, banning is not a bad idea.

Anaphylaxis from food can take a while (up to an hour or two I believe) to set in. When it does, it can cut off an airway, and then you're basically racing against suffocation with an epipen. If the kid's outside at recess or in the bathroom alone or just slow to tell a teacher, you're in a bad situation.

I don't know how much gluten it takes to trigger some of the scarier symptoms of IBD or if any of them are lethal in children. My guess is they're not, just because I haven't heard of gluten bans in schools.
I just wrote my own post about how, two weeks ago, I could log in to Yahoo Mail with any password (http://nick.malcolm.net.nz/2013-05-20-yahoo-imap-vulnerabili...).

I agree with Nils that talking to bots sucks! These are big issues, and it feels lame if you don't think the issue is being given the attention it deserves (even if that attention is directed at you).

> You're experience went a little further than mine, I got no offers.

Friend of mine (more experience than me, less than you, well known on Hacker News) was in their first round and also got zero offers. Frankly, I think it might be literally random. I don't have enough data to prove this.

> I was surprised by how few companies actually viewed my profile. They provide the list at the end of the auction and it was interesting to see how it matched up with my own.

They didn't notify me about the list at the end, but they did show me a hidden page near the beginning which continued to be populated. I was also able to see about 200 other companies based on logos. I think not every company had logos.

> DeveloperAuction uses Craigslist and LinkedIn to hire their own

hate this too; i wish someone would actually read my code for once.

> willful ignorance and lackadaisical interviewing attitude

more hate. The interview process is a terrible experience that I would never wish upon my closest friends or family. I would be absolutely ashamed of admitting I did this to other human beings. There needs to be dramatically more transparency upfront about salary (hell, let me negotiate in advance) and how long the hiring pipeline is. How the company treats people moving through their hiring pipeline is a big indicator for how the hell they treat employees. I want a place that treats me with dignity and respect, and if companies can't offer that, I'll stick with consulting, thanks.

RGBDS hates me. Thank you for your efforts on RGBDS. It is probably the one tool I regularly use that causes me the most trouble (crashy). I am not sure anyone has run such a large project through it before.

ViaWeb was re-branded Yahoo Stores, and is still alive and, presumably, healthy.
Edit: This was a reply to Kunai, asserting that gluten is an inflammatory agent.

I'm married to a woman with a dietetics degree. We have discussed this subject. She has read papers on the topic, and knows the literature.

You, I am guessing, are a software developer, who, in all likelihood has not read the literature on this subject (if this assumption is incorrect i would be happy to stand corrected).

It mystifies me how people stand so sure of themselves and claims such as "gluten is an inflammatory agent", despite the fact that grains have been consumed by vast numbers of humans for millennia, the absence of evidence that it causes disease, and the fact that no causal links have been proposed between gluten and causing Celiac disease†.

†: my wife says that if you are strongly predisposed to Celiac (which has a genetic component), then yes, consuming gluten may exacerbate your condition. However the idea that you can take an otherwise healthy (or heck even unhealthy) person, force them to gorge on gluten to give them Celiac is definitely wrong.

Wikipedia is chock full of human bots that try to turn it into a relational database or some kind of graph of human knowledge. Just look at all the categories Hitler is in:

- Suicides by firearm in Germany
- German founders of automobile manufacturers
- Austrian anti-communists
- ...

Of course Wikipedia (or rather MediaWiki) is completely terrible for this purpose. It's a completely unstructed raw text storage. You can find date A cited on one page for event X, then go to the page on event X and find a completely different date. It's all just text, and the human bots are overwhelmed with keeping it synchronized.

Of course the human bots will be angry if you spit on them in some dead tree op-ed thinking their valiant efforts toward reducing Wikipedias text to ever smaller isolated atoms are hurting some political ideal.

(Of course the people over at Wikipedia have recognized that the problem is insurmountable the way they are approaching it. They have created WikiData in response: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page)
Speaking to your first question: "Molecular dynamics" is too broad. Can you name the dominant players working on the specific molecules / processes where you publish?

For example, I have my PhD in EE / Robotics. I am an expert in (long-range) UHF RFID for mobile robots. There are probably only 5 other dominant researchers in this space. There are a lot of similar, related fields (eg. UHF sensors, power harvesting, indoor channel modeling, Radar sensing, etc) and I've co-published in some of these too, but...

Ultimately, you'll become an expert in a very (very!) narrow topic. You'll probably know all of the dominant players by first name. You may go for beers with them at conferences (as we do). I recommend checking out Matt Might's "Illustrated Guide to a PhD": http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/
Tables were intended for tabular data. Using them for layouts was just a hack until css and layers came along. IIRC, they render more slowly than layers because the browser needs the entire table before it can determine the layout. In any case, once you start getting into complex tables nested in tables, the code becomes a nightmare... and the vertical alignment in data cells is usually defaulted to center meaning you have to use 'spacer' cells just to make things look right.

...it's been aeons, though, since i've even dealt with table layouts so for all I know none of what I said is still true for modern browsers, but I still think they're not a good idea.
I am someone who at this stage in life seems to have^ an issue with gluten.

Lots of people aren't like me though, and for them I do not believe there is any particularly well documented issues when it comes to gluten.

^Where 'seems to have' is self-produced anecdata: I spend months working through food group diet permutations (starting with removing basically except lightly cooked vegetables, miso soup and congee :-/) in an attempt to zero in on what was causing near-permanent (~10am->sleeping) acid reflux I had developed. Conclusions point fairly strongly to gluten, which I now mostly stay away from (I still eat it occasionally, zomg burgers, I just make sure breads/pasta/etc isn't the base of my diet).
