If you want to misunderstand licensing, this article is here to help.

To pick out just one of the many errors of fact and interpretation: linux has historically been GPL v2 only; this decision was not made after the release of GPL v3.

It's great that his "generation sees copyrights [as] a concept that should be much more restricted and have a smaller lifetime": I'm glad that he's so surrounded by the FOSS that makes this possible. But this possibility came about because of the work of free software advocates and developers. Reveling in your ignorance and disinterest really isn't going helping.

And if you think that it's a problem that Apple and the FSF (among others!) are clashing on issues like restricted bootloaders, tivoization, etc. -- well, I don't really know what to say. There's a reason that Apple and advocates like the FSF are on different sides here. I know which side I'm on: do you?

It could be that Gmail is optimizing for the lazy of us. That's my view on the Updates tab as well: I have unsubscribed from a bunch of this stuff, but I keep getting more of it, sometimes from new sources, sometimes from existing sources but new accounts, and other times from existing sources who have added new kinds of notifications my previous opt-out doesn't respect. At some point I gave up fiddling with it and just got used to the x# sequence (default Gmail keybindings for select-and-delete). Gmail putting it into its own tab is a net improvement in user experience for me, because now I can xjxjxjxjx# all at once. I might even give a brief glance at the subject lines, so they aren't necessarily useless. But I don't need to read them as emails, and I don't need them interspersed with my real email. Conceptually they aren't really emails, but an email serialization of a status update, like what you find under the little red number icon in Facebook. So I like them being shown as such, in a separate space.

It's all filters I could have set up myself, but the default filtering pretty closely aligns with my preferences, so for me at least it's working. And so far, Google has actually never moved out of my Inbox any email where I've opted in to receive the email. The only things getting filtered are things I never asked for.
Yeah I didn't really think of the around the world use case. At that point, you'd need to change the visualization to a globe which would probably confuse most travelers.

In addition to laptops and cameras mentioned, they also go through your glove box. They stole my (prescription) sunglasses and my $5 phone charger probably thinking it was worth $30.

But some people leave their GPS in there (not everyone has a smartphone for that), or they forget their phone, or maybe keep some emergency cash there.
An interesting thing, to me, about the GPL is that it's possible for companies to use it as an anti-competitive weapon against each other. A company who owns or has been assigned the copyright to an entire codebase is able to hold the exclusive right to profit from hidden modifications of it. Oracle is in this position right now with mysql, for example. GNU itself, were it so inclined (though it obviously isn't), would be as well.

This becomes even more significant when talking about the AGPL and its limitations on using it as a service. 10gen is the only company that could run a proprietary uber-version of MongoDB, and that right persists effectively forever.

When it comes to more open licenses like BSD no one holds this as an exclusive right.
"Bob Coe once told me he did not have to interview the candidates for his Administrative Assistant position. I should simply ask each candidate to link her hands behind her head with her elbows pointing forward and walk toward the wall. If her elbows were the first part of her anatomy to touch the wall, she was eliminated from candidacy. All applicants whose breasts touched first, he would interview."

This reminds me of the android ui for turning of WiFi when the screen is off. It used to be on one of the settings pages. Now you have to go to settings, WiFi, menu, advanced. There are numerous articles in the Google index of people having trouble finding this option. It makes a WiFi only tablet last for a very long time without recharging if you don't use it too much. Why would they want to hide that option?

I wonder how Apple got around the problems with their name being the same as the record label. I somewhere heard that they got the permission to use it if they promise not to enter the music business. ... which they did with the iPod.
So what's your point? Does this mean Facebook has some right to the 'face-' prefix? I strongly disagree.

Excellent explanation.

Using proper terms, GPUs are SIMT - Single Instruction Multiple Threads, while latest Epiphany is MIMD - Multiple Instructions, Multiple Data streams.

Off-course both probably can execute regular SIMD instructions sequentially.
AMD GPUs can, likewise XeonPhi, NVIDIA GPUs are scalar, not sure about Epiphany.
I can't speak to anecdotes about Detroit unions, but by no means is this normal behavior in every industry union.

I worked in a UFCW union retail shop for two years' time during high school and saw nothing of the sort. To the contrary, everyone worked their arses off and earned minimum wage while performing every single job role in the facility except management and bookkeeping. If no customers were nearby, you were expected to clean, straighten, and develop photos. If business was especially good, you had no time to straighten shelves and got dinged for the store's good fortune by management. Turnover was rampant. You had to pay dues and yet got next to nothing for them.

Like all things, your mileage may vary.
I wish there was a browser plugin or something that displays all the blackhat manipulation a site employs as you visit it, and give alternative options.

Surprising that iPad sales are down about 14% from a year ago. But I guess the release of the 3rd gen iPad in March last year heated that quarter up a bit. This quarter was 6-9 months into the release cycle.

I have been expecting iPad sales to accelerate, and yet they seem fairly linear. Not sure if Android is seeping into the market, or if people are just clinging to their laptops more fervently than I thought they would.
A selection of Dijkstra's essays would also be good. "Selected Writings on Computing" has been out of print for a while and pre-dates some of his best essays, but it's in the right direction.

I have been thinking about it for a while. In a hot and dry environment (az, nm, tx) most of the heat is gained by the sun. It is easy to see. If you leave your car in the sun, it will be extremely hot. But if you leave your car in the shade of a tree it will be ok.

You don't even need the solar cells, all you need is to create a shade for your house. Something that covers the sun, but still allows air to go through. Trees is probably the best option, if you have the space. Other materials could be some sort of ceramic tiles that rest about 10 cms above the ceiling of the house or use a shade cloth. I have tested the shade clothes, they seem to be very thin and they let a lot of light go through, but if you touch the concrete floor underneath it is not too hot as opposed to the place where the shade is not covering the floor.

I'm just responding with my thoughts on this...
I don't think native vs. a browser based is a 'single feature'. It's huge. Without access to the SDK's real power you lose a LOT of functionality and performance. I would never deliver a PG app to anyone other than an in-house enterprise app that just gets the job done. Sorry, it's just the way I feel about it. I loath those applications. I won't take shortcuts that save me a little time but at the cost of all my customers being pissed off at a sub-standard application. Again, this is my opinion but I do have empirical evidence in my career that supports my assertions.
One thing I've noticed from buying used Smalltalk books is that most of them (apart from the blue/purple/green books) are heavily wedded to defunct implementations. The language is so small it's hard to continue talking about it and not slip into a discussion of the standard library of implementation X.

The best book I've read on OO, by the way, is Andres Valloud's "A Mentoring Course in Smalltalk."
While crack and PCP use has dropped(I don't actually know that it has) I think it would have been offset by the increased use of meth.

It cost many times more than even high end bicycles, without being faster, without being able to be used on streets, without having as much cargo capacity, and while depriving you of exercise.

It cost many times more than a scooter, while being slower, having far less range, less cargo capacity, and not being usable on streets.

What you are saying highlights the reason it failed, while missing the point of the device.

It was not for the bicycle use case. It was not meant to be faster or to be used on the streets. You can carry a couple of modest panniers worth of cargo, and touring-bike loads would again be besides the point. It was meant to deprive you of exercise.

The Segway was meant to create a "new" use case and market segment in the same way that the iPhone and iPad did. (You can find plenty of objections analogous to the ones you list for the iPhone and iPad.) In that kind of context, dorky is going to kill you.

at $3k or so it's just a toy.

What Steve Jobs understood was that it's okay to start out as a toy when creating a new market segment. However, you have to be cool enough while being cheap enough. The Segway had a too high a price point and a too low of a cool factor.

>I'm having a hard time envisioning a regulatory body akin to the FDA for all software.

I do too, because I think copyright will be extended until forever - but the power given to the FDA was hard to imagine before Lash-Lure. Maybe it'll take a badly coded toy or self-driving car to kill or maim a lot of people to create a Source Code Distribution Administration.

Controversially.

Yeah. Basically, when Linus flames somebody, the "mean words" are decoration. They don't actually form the meat of the message, which is almost always technical and detailed. If you had an email filter which deleted all nasty words, you'd still get very useful information from one of Linus's flames.

Facebook has an email address, but I wouldn't call it email. Isn't it all just in-app messages? Can you send email from facebook?
Maybe it's for the best, since Facebook sucks and I would expect something called Facemail to suck as well.
That is a good point, and it just might be that way, but I'm not so sure for several reasons.

First, languages like Python and Ruby (and I think Clojure, too) are as easy to learn and Go, and most would say are more productive.

And if you want a system level language, then you're probably not a beginner. Yes, Go is easier to learn than Java, but certainly not by much (it is, granted, much easier to get a small program running in Go). On the other hand, Java (or Kotlin) are more versatile.

Someone once said that easy always wins, and this might be the case with a system level language, too, but maybe when people specifically look for power then easy is not their top priority? I don't know.
IANAL, but by my reading, the GPL does include build scripts as part of the source code, e.g. from GPLv3:

"all the source code needed to generate [...] the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities"

Presumably this includes things like Makefiles.
Preannounced or not, the fact is it's a dizzying rate for independent developers to catch up with.

Yes, I will definitely use the paid version of Facebook and Twitter next time! Unfortunately consumers don't have a choice here. Go to a paid social network that no one uses, or put up with getting spammed by pushy marketers? Somehow everyone decided that because their business model is based on advertising they should forget about good customer experience.

It's certainly not OK. Why not just have pop-ups all over your page, like the more old-school "advertising-based" websites did?
Wait till you try to sell that blue colour in facepaint.
In all fairness, when you mentioned corporate colors, I immediately thought of 3 of the companies on that list (Home Depot, John Deere, and UPS). And I can also see how using Texas and Burnt Orange together could be an issue. Caterpillar is also fairly distinctive, and I don't think it's unreasonable to for them to attempt to limit competitors' production of yellow construction equipment.
It's odd that they chose stackoverflow for their support system, because most of the answered questions there are way obsolete by now.

Mark Twain is a wise man, but let's be careful of false equivalence. The regulatory capture in law really is pretty egregious.

I read an interesting article about on-line law schools a while back.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3078930/ns/technology_and_science-...

I'm not as concerned about the employability for a few reasons: 1) many of these students appear to be "non-traditional students who bring extremely interesting and rare skills, and 2) online degrees, taken while working full time, will leave students with relatively low debt levels, 3) many of these students are enhancing existing skill sets rather than trying to break into law as a zero-experience associate.

I do agree that people with online law degrees would be at a very severe disadvantage in the job market if they're just the standard "history major with law degree" looking for a job with a firm or other entry level law job. If that's the case, I'd agree that they might want to avoid an online degree (honestly, you might want to consider avoiding law school altogether from what I've read lately).

But think about some of these students here... one case is particularly interesting - an earthquake engineer who (according to the article) "will take over as in-house counsel at his engineering firm, and he figures he will be among the first to understand both the mathematics and the law surrounding earthquakes." This guy has nothing to do with "entry level" law jobs. He's very unique, and it sounds like he almost certainly would never have gotten this legal training without an on-line option. Does it really make sense to deny someone like this entry to the bar, because we already have "enough" 24 year old history majors with no work experience who have decided to go $150K+ in debt to get a traditional law degree?
Personally I would think that FaceTime and FaceCash were made by Facebook Inc. (As I had actually never heard of either of those).
I also thought that Star Trek and Star Wars were related or the same thing for most of my childhood. I didn't want Star Wars because I'd seen Star Trek on TV and not liked it (I was young).

It's just something people do (or at least I do). I think it's maddness to prevent the use of names starting with "Face" because of this confusion. I thought that iPlayer was apple related like iTunes for a long time. It's confusing yes but I don't feel you should be able to prevent someone using a similar sounding name.

What is the probability of an "average" bad hire doing those things? That was at the core of my original point. This seems to come up on HN every time a hiring discussion moves into talking about "bad" hires. People bring up realistic negative possibilities without attaching a probability to them, making it impossible to determine a ballpark expected value, or in this case cost, of the action. Now, for various reasons calculating an accurate probability is virtually impossible as well, but one should be able to come up with a rough idea of what it is. Additionally, every company should have some sort of controls in place to minimize the damage a new hire could do, even if the action is a genuine mistake or intentionally malicious.
Truth is , facebook itself did not actually compete with developers, Zynga did (they had a special contract with facebook for a few years)
AFAIK ZeroMQ doesn't support any kind of timeout on REP sockets. It could be hacked in with signals or a watchdog thread in a multiprocessing setup, but that's ugly. If you're going to all that trouble it seems much cleaner to just move to DEALER/ROUTER.
This is a perfectly acceptable time and place to discuss anything relating to this matter.

The decent thing for everyone here to do is to express their true opinions, regardless of how others may interpret them.

Holding back, or not expressing one's ideas at all, out of some fear of "offending" somebody is a truly indecent thing to do.
You misunderstand. I meant the federal law was an after-the-fact-recognition of what many states had already done. Kind of like the way DOMA (defense of marriage act) was struck down by SCOTUS only after a bunch of states started recognizing gay marriage or how marijuana is likely to be legalized at the federal level only after enough states have already legalized it.

It's product confusion that matters. Facebook doesn't have video, so it shouldn't matter. Facebook doesn't really have email, so i'm not sure how they claim it is confusing. No one says, "go sign up for email on facemail, oh i mean facebook."
Apple Corps v Apple Computer. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer
The end of the report says something along the lines that Facebook can expect to win an opposition if the Face* thing can be argued to be related to something Facebook actually does and if there's a significant portion of a survey that associates it with Facebook (30% is not low). So Faceplanting is fine, but Facetalk, Facemail, Facefriends, Facephotos are probably things Facebook can oppose and win if they haven't been trademarked yet.
Kind of prefer it is hidden myself. As a developer with apps that sometimes upload and the like in the background, I don't want countless emails from users who have flipped that switch and can't get their scores to post or whatever.

This has unfortunately been my experience with the Facebook Platform as well. I remember talking with someone 5 years ago, saying that Facebook would be the one site that they log into in the morning, they would get their daily news, their friends updates, their word processing, etc. They would never have to leave the site.

Instead, it hasn't done any of this, and their best attempt at monetization is "Would you like to buy your friend a gift on their birthday?"

It was obvious with Zynga how quickly things could go viral, and yes, sometimes things were extremely spammy, but for the most part, you could have a lot of fun apps on Facebook. Now, there are almost no apps left, except core Facebook. The only thing people appear to use it for is to get login information, or for mobile-type contacts information.

I tried making my own Facebook app, and ran into a bunch of issues, including really poor documentation. You couldn't even google for things, because things changed so quickly that you couldn't tell which was the most recent information. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. It's too bad, because like the article says, there was so much more potential than what it has turned into. And I know people have been saying this for years, but I really am seeing a lot more of my friends simply stop logging into Facebook now, because it's boring. It will be interesting to see if they have what it takes to make bold, innovative moves to make the platform more attractive again.
its quite the facet to my personality.
