Do the proprietor's of those platforms want an "official" app that they are willing to put their own resources into developing? Remember, this is about Google cutting off an API key so Google isn't out any engineering/time/money resources, the "official" modifier is mostly marketing BS.

> We need to have moral hazard for those at the top pyramid

Actually, "moral hazard" means:

> moral hazard is a situation where a party will have a tendency to take risks because the costs that could incur will not be felt by the party taking the risk. In other words, it is a tendency to be more willing to take a risk, knowing that the potential costs or burdens of taking such risk will be borne, in whole or in part, by others.

We probably want less of that.

I believe Amazon Payments cannot be used to pay people outside the US.

My understanding is that IndieGoGo initially picked up a lot of momentum from non-US based projects merely by offering a non-Amazon Payments based alternative.
Amazon has a set of leadership principles that apply to everyone at the company, whether you are technical or not.

It's being a leader in what you do, which isn't necessarily the same as leading a group of other people.
Maven Release Plugin: the Final Nail in the Coffin
1. 'open source' and 'open' are not the same thing. Look at android being open source but with closed development.

2. The property of being 'open source' applies to specific copies of software. All that 'closed' stuff you were talking about is applied to non-public copies so it has no relevance to the discussion of the open source copies.
So what are you doing about it?

A lot more than someone saying "let's not talk about this", that's for fucking sure.

Voting up articles about the issue on a niche news site is not "doing something".

And answering to your own post isn't really "making a point". Who claimed that's enough? Who claimed it's even a lot? How is it not better than neither doing something, nor talking about the problem?
That distinction would mean more if it didn't literally come on the heals of them explicitly trying to suppress the entire court decision.
On a receiver cable:

"The most horrific thing of all was that after having spent 300 years crawling to the system to unplug said cable, my brother was unable to control the sheer power of such a quality signal and like an ancient psychedelic Mr Miyagi struggling with a running fire hose, pointed the beam directly into his face."

This is a comedy gold mine. I love that Amazon curates these.

> What happens, which as a Westerner he did not expect, was that soon the community gathered at a spot and over the next few days built him his house! It was simple but in line with the community standard. The expectation was that when someone else had a need (maybe a house) he would return the favor.

how is this different than borrowing money from a bank to get a house built? In the village, the westerner had a debt - sure it was verbal, but it is a debt never-the-less. This method don't work when the size of the village grows beyond a certain point (because you cannot keep track of more than about 100 people without needing written records and formalizatin).

Fast forward a few hundred years, and you end up with what we have right now - a system of money, credit and work. Its exactly the same, except with way more indirections so that the participants don't have to directly know each other and keep tabs on each other.

The lesson of 9/11 is: The terrorists won. The NSA et al. was way more effective at spreading terror than those terrorists ever were. And it probably cost more money (and lives?), too.
Craigslist & Reddit are WORKSAFE. Yes, really.

Most internet use is during business hours. Craigslist & Reddit look, from ~10 feet away (by passing coworkers) to look closer to "work", as it's text-based, with very few graphics. It doesn't look like the Huffington Post, ESPN, Netflix, or Facebook.

So, coworkers or bosses passing by either don't register it as "goofing off", or, if they do recognize it, they are "in the club" & not going to call you on it.

And, by having a minimalist UI (compact, informational), they know they MUST focus on content to succeed. This makes content king, like it should be, for user-generated content sites like this.

"America is essentially about hustling, and that goes back more than 400 years. It’s practically genetic, in the U.S., by now; the programming is so deep, and so much out of conscious awareness, that very few Americans can break free of it. They’re really sleepwalking through life, living out a narrative that is not of their own making, while thinking they are in the driver’s seat. It’s also especially hard to break free of that mesmerization when everyone else is similarly hypnotized. Groupthink is enormously powerful. Even if it occurs to you to stop following the herd, it seems crazy or terrifying to attempt it. This is Sartre’s “bad faith,” the phenomenon whereby a human being adopts false values because of social pressure, and is thus living a charade, an inauthentic life. It’s also what happens to Ivan Illych in the Tolstoy story, where Ivan is dying, and reviews his life during his last three days, and concludes that it was all a waste, because he lived only for social approval."

I'm fairly new to node.js, but having done some decent work in AS3/Flex (admittedly years ago) I'm a bit amassed that they didn't take a look how Adobe took on some of these "problems". I think it is a pity that the don't have callbacks for onError and onResult for instance. It would be easy to do and code would look nicer and with less noise. I suspect there are other niceties that could be learned from AS3/Flex and async/ event loop programming.
Why?

How is this any different than me releasing my code under something like the LGPL, which would allow those folks who dynamically link to not release source to their app, but force those who are required to statically link (due to platform or other reasons) to release source to their app?

Note that it's a similar situation. If I release code under the LGPL, i don't have to abide by it, only others do.

Twitter requires third party API users limit themselves to 100k users (or whatever it is), but, even though they use the same API, does not require it of itself.

They also have decided some folks don't have to abide by this.

How is this different?

None of this is "anti-competitive" behavior.

Would you think it anti-competitive behavior if Google provided no API and also told people finding ways to embed it to stop?
i would say yes, because the human condition hardly ever changes.
Tangentially, so could Google.

Ok, I'm going to say it -- I don't get it.

The problem I see from the GitHub demo and the discussion here is that you zone out of the "background noise" and focus on the important/out-of-bound/etc sounds. Great, so why not just remove the background sounds and just alert the user to an urgent notification. There's nothing new to this, however, this is just audible notification alerts.

If you are going to run the sounds in the background, your brain is going to process out the on-going "normal" sound anyway.

there are other forms of organization out there - a non-profit, "cooperative" organization could and should be the norm.

I believe in brazil there is a manufacturing company that is like this - each worker gets a slice of the profit.

I think the lungs aren't strong enough to act as a pressure vessel against the vacuum. Trying to hold it in is like expecting your sensitive tissues to behave the same as a scuba tank.

If you don't hold it in, the air will simply leave your lungs and you have about 12-15 seconds before the remaining oxygen in your blood leaves your body making you unconscious. The lungs, instead of trading CO2 for O2 is now working in reverse in the vacuum, exchanging O2 for... nothing. That amount of time should be enough for you to reattach your O2 hose and open the airlock etc.

I also recall reading somewhere that you may urinate, defecate and projectile vomit simultaneously after a while, however by that time, you may already be unconscious.
The other thing rich people hoard is real estate. This increases price of one of most basic necessities.

20 million people would pay $30/month for ESPN, raising the $600m it gets now, but instead people get it for just $6 because 100m pay. That means 80m people are paying $6 for something they don't want. Those 20m who do want the channel are doing very well from the charity of the others. The problem though, is that those 80m aren't happy. Eventually they'll figure there are better things to spend their $6 on, so they'll cancel their cable entirely because they can't just cut out the things they don't want and do other things with their money. Then all the channels suffer.

The point that the article fails to make is that the fees channels receive wouldn't necessarily remain the same if people paid for channels individually. Some channels, ones with smaller audiences, would have to charge more to get the same revenue, or cut costs. Or close entirely. That's fine. It doesn't matter. Other things would replace them. That's how markets work.
That doesn't surprise me in the least. Immigrants have one leg up over the competition: they have generally very little to lose and everything to gain. They have also already self-selected for being people that are not risk adverse (they just left everything behind to start a new life) and they are executing on their dreams.

I often see people that rant against immigrants in general and I always wonder how they would react if you explained to them that their old age pension likely depends on some not yet born immigrant and his or her children.

I use Python for my scripting needs. It is a little bit more cumbersome to call unix tools from a Python script, but handling strings and arguments and things like that is so much easier. I feel like bash is really weird for anything longer than a for loop.

Can someone please provide some arguments why I should write bash scripts instead of Python scripts?
Use `!list.length` instead.
Cool ideas here. I imagine both Google and the military would be interested in building auditory feedback systems into their vehicles/control centers, if they aren't already doing it.

What I think would be a useful addition would be transforming 'levels' (as opposed to events) to ambient, continuously-playing audio. This is pretty much the "dynamic audio" of computer games.

For example, you could have strings playing according to CPU activity: softly and slowly (think double basses) when activity is low, but more loudly and urgently (cellos) when activity is high. That would create a sense of how busy the server is (if you enable the CPU activity 'channel').

edit: I see cortesi has already mentioned they're working on transforming continuous data now - good job.

Exactly. The author thought that using C++ means you are forced to use exception handling, despite the fact that most C++ engineers don't use it. And he had this dumb idea about doing non-trivial things in constructors, another thing most experienced C++ engineers don't do. I don't care what experience he claims to have; he is a noob.
My experience is that bash is faster and easier for below 20 lines. But if things grow, you'll wish you had used a real scripting languages.

Vangaurd low cost index funds. Supposedly, you can count on 8-10% annual return. I also did/do some occasional stock picking which has gotten good results (but I wouldn't count on that being sustainable). I probably spend about 20k a year, and have savings in the low 6 digits.

I waited until I had 5-10x my annual expenses, but obviously you can do it with less. My main recommendation would to be have at least an extra 6 months of living expenses beyond what you need (so if you are taking a year off, have at least 1.5 yrs of living expenses) in case it takes a while to find work again. The main advantage of saving more than that is you can use the returns from your investments to offset some of your costs a bit.
Scala macro that produces JavaScript from Scala code
I remember trying to write a web server that can respond to requests in bash, several years ago. Since it didn't have sockets support that part was going to be handled by netcat. The problem I ended up with was that bash couldn't read and write to the same pipe. The mkfifo solution was the closest that I got to. It turns out that ksh was perfectly capable of reading and writing to the same pipe at that stage. Not long after I got stuck with bash, awk started to support sockets so I used that. Then bash started to support sockets, and many more features, so I suspect it's possible to write a solution in bash now that doesn't need netcat, but might still need a fifo.
