"Open source" has a very well-defined, widely accepted meaning. Part of this is that an open source license cannot restrict the purpose for which the code is used. This isn't making a value judgement on such licenses: it's just defining "open source".

If you actually want your code to be open source, you should use one of the common licenses like the GPL or BSD license; this makes life easier both for you and people who would use your code. Since these licenses are common, people know exactly how they work and are willing to trust them. A custom license like yours seems much riskier to use: for example, how is "competes with" defined?

You can license the code and the artistic assets separately. This is what Id does with its old Quake engines. This way the code is still open source in the strictest sense of the word, but somebody couldn't just resell your game as-is.

You can license the assets under one of the Creative Commons licenses. These have well-defined and well-understood terms that you can mix and match to find something that suits your needs.

GPL is open source(shitty open source, but open source nonetheless), yet you can't use that code commercially.

Edit for downvotes: Perhaps I should have been more clear. As this is iOS code, you cannot in fact use it commercially. GPL code is not allowed on the App Store. Period.

Have you developed a specific plan to tackle this problem? ;)
We do make sure to respond (and provide feedback if asked) to everyone who applies. The issue that we're working on is our response usually comes 2-3 weeks after the initial submission.
Actually, from the Mossad example, many of the more "known" Mossad deaths have been from bombs. So you can say that at least some spy agencies have a pattern.
You can use GPL code commercially (and plenty of companies do), what you can't do is relicense it under a proprietary license.

You cannot pay for a white label subdomain. You can however license the engine for internal use only (but pricing makes it only make sense for large institutions).

What is Google Glass disrupting?

Everything. There's never been a portable computing platform as aggressive in integrating with the physical (albeit visual) environment before. It will make what mobile disruption did to desktop computing look like what electronic typewriters did to their mechanical predecessors.

Anything that people currently use their eyes for can and probably will be disrupted.

Shopping: price comparisons in physical shops will be automatic, and no longer make you look like a dick.

Sports: Any team sports will be changed by the immediate knowledge of where all your team is. Any endurance sport will change with the zero-effort monitoring of your vital statistics[1].

Dating: All those "mobile dating apps" that work in theory but kind of fail in the real world might actually have a chance (assuming people get used to people wearing Glass and no longer laugh at them)

You'd have to explain that to Richard Stallman, who wrote the GPL and also sold Emacs and other free[1] software commercially during the 80s and 90s.

[1]: free software and open source software are accepted by the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative as being pretty much the same thing (ie 99% of OSI-approved open source licenses are also FSF-approved, and vice versa).
The takeaway is that an obfuscator that produces a "black-box" version of any program cannot exist, but one that can produce equal but indistinguishable obfuscated versions of any one program does exist.

I find that the article's most intriguing point is the link between homomorphic encryption and indistinguishable obfuscation.
> Your need for a "real" explanation assumes there must be a physical reality behind the phenomenon. That doesn't have to be the case.

But what can explain the phenonemen? Currently there is no explanation for this. You could read some of Jacobs books, he found all kind of patterns, if this is just some collective halucination originating deep in our subconscious then is just as fascinating.

> That's the problem for someone arguing your point of view -- your fact is indistinguishable from fiction from an impartial point of view.

Indeed this is the biggest problem, because of lack of evidence it all looks sf.
If the reason for the lack of evidence or encouter is the large percent of relious people or people with limited knowledge about the universe that can't cope with this fact then probably this will not change in our lifetime and we will not live to know if there was lack of evidence or it was all sf and we are alone in the universe or just never been in contact.
Well, there's how the government is supposed to work, and then there's how it actually does work. Unfortunately, this shutdown cannot be explained solely in terms of the former, and the latter is inextricably tied up with politics and partisanship. I would argue that addressing it all is implicitly political, and you stepped into it explicitly when saying that voting is the best we can do.

I'be been building a command line Perl app Gutsy https://github.com/gryftir/gutsy to parse Who is Hiring and export to text/html, but this certainly displays a lot nicer.

Which extension are you using? I use Mate and found a Gnome extension that was known to be unreliable and indeed did not work...

I agree the restart is a minor issue, as is the menu bar showing by default, as is the bookmarks bar being always/never there (rather than the more sensible Chrome behavior), as is the interruption of my workflow when Firefox decides to check for updates when I start it, as is the relative laggy UI, ... But these issues add up to a worse experience. Worse by enough that despite wanting to avoid Chrome, I came back to it :(

Precog analytics engine for JSON open sourced today (100% Scala)
I have to at least somewhat agree with the article. I'm on the outside looking in, and to me it looks almost like working in the Federal Government, how once you're in then "you're in" for life with the Big League Startups.

Startups love to talk about their work as extremely technically challenging when in reality the developers I know who work at startups are generally no better or working on no harder problems than people not working at startups or working at startups that aren't very well known or 'in the big leagues'.

I think it really has to deal with the mentors the startups end up with and the funding, and together these help the "Big League" startups continuously be successful. Also, startups that are invested in by places like YCombinator naturally get more press and their business will have a higher chance for success (when combined with excellent mentors)....

You're free to disagree or correct me if I have any obvious misconceptions...Like I said..I'm on the outside looking in.
I'm not surprised at how well this worked. Humans detect consontant-vowel pairs using f2 transformations, which are computed by specialized cells in the ear/brain. The same such cells exist in bats and barn owls. Cats actually use f2 transformations to communicate as well, and that's why they're actually pretty good at expressing specific desires to humans based on how they meow.

So this is somewhat less synesthesia, and more of an organic, bioinformatic method of processing that data. So very cool.

There are explanations aplenty.
Making a legal argument that a game clone is not a derived work when the source code was literally derived from the original via development over time is a pretty sketchy argument. It's not impossible -- that's sort of what the first open source BSD versions were (AT&T code was replaced piecewise) -- but I wouldn't bet on it.

Cloning of interface and operation (but not artwork) is widely held to be legal, but in general all successful clones are clean room clones.
Transportation was also a solved problem, before the car.
This does not seem in line with the understanding of the word used in The Innovator's Dilemma, the book that popularized the word in a business sense. Guyzero's response above matches much more closely to it.

EH.. I spend ~5 minutes a day brushing my teeth.. if I brush during the day instead of just at night/morning.. it migh tbe 7-8.

If I could legitmately get that down to say, ~30 seconds.. I might save 4.5 minutes x 365 days = ~27 hours a year. If I make $10/hr and have plenty of time; this doesn't make sense. If I make $100/hr and am limited on time; this is potentially pretty sweet, especially if I am able to get a better cleaning.

London, UK - full time/part time/internship/flexible.

NBCUniversal - Research Assistant, Data Science & Predictive Analytics. x2

We're no startup. We're the special operations team for the corporate world.

We're hunting for engaging problems and opportunities to create real value for our marketing, sales, and research teams throughout our international businesses (television, movies, news, and home entertainment).

You'll be helping us on a variety of problems - little ones like writing a script to hack a third party's website and collect info on our products, to large ones like creating a model that can show our products value through time. In all cases you'll be working closely with the a senior engineer and either senior corporate management or a business unit in TV, film, or news. A typical week might look like this:

* Meet with the head of sales for a UK TV channel, learn about a problem they're facing trying to get an accurate value for advertisement slots.

* Discuss what you learned with the rest of team. Someone suggests that a nearest-neighbors regression on data from the marketing team might help.

* A senior dev helps you implement the algorithm and a UI for the sales team to use it.

* Spend some time with the sales team to see if it's creating any value, look for improvements.

What we use (We list this to tell you what we're like, not to tell you what languages we expect to see on a CV):

* Racket. We're big fans lisp and functional programming.

* Bash. We create a lot of value with small dirty hacky shell scripts, and we aren't shy about it.

* Whatever gets the job done, and whatever we think might be fun to use. Python, R, Javascript, Hadoop, EC2. We even wrote code in Fortran once (we don't like to talk about it.)

Who we're looking for:

Most importantly, you should be an intelligent problem solver who wants to apply whatever programming and maths knowledge you have to real world problems. We're not fussed about what languages are on your CV.

You have some familiarity with functional programming, machine learning, and linux/bash scripting, and you're eager for a chance to use it on real-world problems with support from other programmers. Given the predictive modeling angle, you're probably studying or have studied maths, stats, or even physics.

These are two assistant/internship positions for students looking for experience while doing their degree. Alternatively, if you can take on several projects in a full time role, please get in touch, too. We're pretty flexible.

Interested? My contact details are in my profile. Get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.

Not really. Cars allowed for distance, cargo capacity and speed to increase dramatically.

This potentially saves you a couple of minutes per day. Maybe significant from a proportional perspective, but not in an absolute sense.

What's the point of this thread? Where do you want to go?
On the contrary, most irrational beliefs are similar to each other because they all stem from the same neurological modules crafted by evolution. Fallacies that are easily exposed by formal logic often seem correct to people not trained in science. For example, anecdotal evidence is given perverse weight because most of the time, anecdotal evidence is pretty solid evidence for a group of hunter gatherers.
I don't know if OP is advocating it, per se, but those marketplaces do exist. Even though it's morally and legally wrong, there is an incentive to sell exploits to the bad guys, instead of disclosing them to the company.

The analogy is a bit off, as 'a beer' is relatively good compensation for the disclosure of the car-key vulnerability, compared to the potential black-market value, and the potential loss to the owner.

With this example, it's more like you told your neighbor about his forgotten keys, and they gave you a nickle and a pat on the head.
Those Range Rovers are a pain to own.

Disruptive products as initially defined are reliant on advances in technology to become good enough to challenge established markets (while they advanced via emerging/self-created markets).

Apple was always biding their time, waiting for the right moment for a giant leap forward in consumer satisfaction to become possible; it's the opposite of the incrementalism of the usual disruptive product.

Few companies would consider such an approach because it seems to be a much, much bigger risk, leaping so far forward in consumer satisfaction that you are practically creating a new market.

But there is an enormous leverage opportunity created when you take this approach:

A visionary new product can generate a lot of marketing leverage from a strong sales pitch. It really is better. Using a strong sales pitch for an established "me too" product doesn't generate a lot of marketing leverage. And Apple had the head visionary as head salesperson.

The flip side of the potential sales pitch leverage is that the product can likely only be sold via strong sales pitch. It's too new.

So the best positioned company to take advantage of the strong selling opportunities of the Apple approach is one with a strong brand as an innovator. Upstarts or stodgy old companies won't know how to really pitch the product compellingly, or will be at too large a disadvantage from their non-existent/badly matched brand.

I worry that Apple with Jobs gone will forget to sell their next big innovation strongly enough, and will just rely on their existing customer base and strong brand. It will probably only work well the first time (existing huge base/incredible brand).

I say "I worry" because I want Apple to continue creating products that are great leaps forward, and I don't think they can do so perpetually without acknowledging the huge role that a really strong sales pitch plays in the success of such products.
Picking out a novelty gift would be fine, you could even have put some thought in to what it would be; acting like giving me the funds equivalent to a novelty gift is a reward tells me the precise dollar value you attached to my work, which is insulting.

The funds are considerably more impersonal than simply giving a gift and demonstrate in a concrete way the low value it was given by Yahoo - not even worth a personal email to ask about tshirt size/style.

I'd say MIT for the code, and license the graphics, sound, etc, assets under a separate noncommercial license. This'll let people peek under the hood, learn from it, and use it in their own app with fewer legal questions as far as what's allowed and disallowed.
