Actually, in your example, Hitler's mother can't really claim she is the person responsible for Hitler's actions, unless she was there with Hitler as his senior advisor or strategist or something. Well, unless she specifically raised him (bred him?) to be some great cruel dictator or warmonger, in that case... or should we blame WWII on the Vienna Academy of Art, for not accepting him?

If the survey was composed of people from all over the entire city, it seems a bit more reasonable. NYC is big.
I'm not out of shape, and I sweat "too much," as in by the time I finished an hour of bike-riding in sunny FL, there would be no part of my clothing that was not wet. (I'm not exaggerating, and I have spent a lot of time on my bike in FL). This has been true for my entire life, including as a teenage boy who spent an average of maybe six hours per day playing basketball...certainly in shape. I read once that some percentage of people naturally sweat excessively compared to others. I feel very certain I'm in that percentage.

What is appropriate clothing for my example? I'd guess most appropriate would be naked, though I'd still be drenched. There is no clothing that can fix this.

I love riding bikes, but it has never been a feasible solution for my transportation to work, given that I don't want to arrive looking and feeling disgusting, drenched in sweat. I could handle your cold, though. Perhaps you've never experienced extreme humidity coupled with high-90s.

It's the other way around: The whole block is the subponea treatment unit of Google. It's offshore so it's not under US jurisdiction.
I've used both and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Angular over Knockout, especially for a large project. Angular is very modular and lets you separate your concerns nicely, while with KO I basically ended up with one mega-JS file and one mega-HTML file with a lot of ugly inline templates.

That being said, my KO education is not as good, so it's highly possible that I made design mistakes that made the project more painful than necessary. Nevertheless, I don't hesitate to recommend Angular; I normally dislike web development but Angular is quite a lot of fun to use.

The most obvious approach would be to wait until someone's given you at least the tiniest hint that they could possibly be planning on attacking you before treating them as a potential enemy.

What kind of legitimate threat would the US government even be watching out for with the German Chancellor? Are they so paranoid that they think the Fourth Reich is just over the horizon, or did Merkel's statement that "Islam is part of us" tip them off that she might be running a terrorist sleeper cell?

I'm going to assume that's 100 degrees fahrenheit, right?

That's around 37 degrees celcius for us non-US people =).

I'm from Sydney, and we often have low 40's (Celcius) during summer. We currently have raging bushfires over here in some areas =(, and it's easily 40 degrees.

I bike to work (and also for fun on weekends) during that sort of temperatures, and I've never been worse for wear...

I also jog regularly during that weather (although I find that harder than biking - less breeze).

Mate - you're not going to get heat stroke from riding your bike a few Km at 37 degrees, seriously...

As your fitness improves, you'll probably find it easier.

Just stay hydrated (you do carry water, right?), apply sunscreen, and you'll be fine. Sure, it's harder work than driving a car, but exercise is hard work (despite what those late-night TV ads tell you).

It doesn't seem to be possible to make Flash use 'click to play' on chrome. You can make all plugins 'click to play' but unfortunately that breaks any plugins that do initialization in the onload handler.

Java is now click-to-play by default, and I'm hoping that Flash goes that way soon. Flash is mostly just used for annoying adverts these days, so it won't be a great loss (and maybe that is why google is reluctant to disable it by default).

I regret I have but one upvote to give you, sir.
Victor: that's not what he's suggesting. He's suggesting that an entirely separate party (drivers) pay for what others use (public trans).

Paying for what you use and a little extra to offset the negatives is still just paying for what you use.

Further, who pays for the roads the public transportation uses? I have a guess: drivers.
All of these sounds like reasonable steps. Right now it's more like. Hey I have thing that I will use with some people.. but it looks like I could potentially monetize off of it. I just don't know where to even go find potential customers.

Perhaps. But speaking as a person from a physics background, a difference you can't quantify is a difference that may as well not exist...

I went back and checked the Medium website with a handful of different typefaces on the body text, and whilst I could tell a large difference in readability between the default (ff-tisa-web-pro?) and my systems DejaVu Sans, I honestly couldn't tell the difference the default and Georgia (serif) (screenshots in another comment below).

Which brings me back to my point, that the typeface is highly overrated in importance on a page. The choice of font-size, Sans/Serif, line-height/width, etc. all play a far more important role when it comes to readability.

I will admit that I do come from a strong science/programming background, so sometimes the more arty, design side of things escape me!
Probably, but I am not sure. Actually the more I think about it, yes. But only according to one interpretation of what Hobbes says in the quoted passage. I agree that order can only exist when people agree on something. Hobbes calls it a "common power". However, one could interpret Hobbes as saying you need some kind of rigid construct to enforce order. Not really. People just have to agree. I was trying to say that that's the only reason property rights exist, because people agree on them, but that's also the only reason government exists. My point was that "property" and "government" are both just words, and whether or not "property" can exist without "government" depends on how you define them. So in my opinion the two people above me were arguing over nothing of consequence. I do not count philosophy among my strengths so sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

Said another way, if you define "government" as people agreeing on a rule, then no, property rights cannot exist outside of government. Or if they did, they would have no basis in reality so they're not worth thinking about. However, if you define "government" as a certain way of enforcement, or a way of codifying laws, or really any particular construct, then in that case property rights obviously do exist outside of government.

The second section of my comment is pointing out that Disney remixes, yet you seem to think remixing Disney would be a symptom of some sort of awful state of society. If remixing evidences that, then why do we need further evidence of it? Remixing Disney media would just be continuing in the same vein as Disney.
Working on mathematical models for a living, if the number at the end comes out as "That can't be right..." odds are its a problem with the model, not the system it's modeling. You've made a lot of simplifications, both on the income and expenses end of your envelope math that I very much doubt are correct.

Universities, even small ones, are fairly large, complex organizations that are extremely capital intensive. This is complicated by the fact that many of the institutions we're talking about are private, so we don't have many numbers.

But to the major point of moving toward teaching, and away from research, we can look at the balance sheet of a large state university system:

For 2012, the UNC system took in $320,535,000 in student fees and $725,846,000 in grants and contracts. While UNC is a fairly good deal for it's students (if you're in-state) its hardly free, and grant income outpaces student fees by a healthy margin.
> So long as Disney keeps making use of Mickey Mouse, what economic reason is there to give someone else a crack at the character?

You seem to be confusing trademarks and copyright. Disney characters are in fact protected in perpetuity as long as Disney continues to use them commercially.

The copyright question is the question of whether Disney can keep control over specific works like Steamboat Willie, or whether they will start to enter the public domain.

> the economic framework that's well-accepted in policy circles has no way to express the value of letting copyright expire

Nonsense. The definition of copyright is a legal monopoly on the production of copies of a work. It has long been understood by economists that monopolies legal or not, incentives rent-seeking and disrupt a markets natural trend towards natural prices.
Ugh, I mistook 'clearly is B' to mean the complete opposite based on rest of the comment. Sorry.

> Until Soylent there wasn't a non-medical meal replacement that at least theoretically tried to be everything you need

As far as I understand it that's because the knowledge to make such a thing does not exist and everyone in the field is confident trying to make such a product would fail. They are waiting for the pure research folks to learn more about human nutrition (either a bit more or a hell of a lot more depending on who you ask).

Ensure/Jevity/etc would certainly market their products for non-medical purposes if they could. But they are only used as last resort options during medical interventions precisely because of the results they've seen during those medical interventions.

A bunch of volunteers self experimenting is an interesting way to get around this (the ethics of this level of experimentation on human subjects that is). While the data will be too uncontrolled and biased to judge any positive effects you will probably get some very interesting data when someone gets sick (as long as they at least keep a detailed enough log of their diet).

Considering the ingredient list now includes snake oil like Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba I don't trust the makers enough to include myself in those tests but I am interested in how it turns out.
Me? Not so much. Many people around me. Yes so much.
Start with a personal email. Keep is short. Your ask, in the initial email, is for a phone call. That's it. Your objective is to set a time for a call. One sentence on what you're building, and one sentence on why it is applicable to them. Indicate that you respect their opinion and that you would like them to help shape your product roadmap.

On the call. Don't sell them anything. Ask them questions about what they are currently doing, and what solutions they would like to see for the "problem." Even if you just talk to 1 out of 20, listen to what they want and tweak your product to make them happy. If that customer is happy, then there is a good chance that other users will want what you've built. "Do things that don't scale" - PG.

Your goal on the call is to get that person using your product. Offer to do it for them. Write code for them. Help them implement your solution. Treat it like a consulting gig. Whatever they are looking for, you can do it.

A LinkedIn add compliments a direct email. But, a LinkedIn message is often ignored.

If you don't have the customer's email use Rapportive -- http://rapportive.com/

Rapportive is amazing! You add Rapportive to gmail. It is a free add-on for Firefox, Safari, Mailplane, and Chrome. You can guess at the email you are looking for...firstname@companyname.com, firstname.lastname@companyname.com, firstinitiallastname@companyname.com, etc. When you get a hit the right hand side of gmail lights up with the person's picture and links to their publicly available social networks, all of which gets displayed alongside the message. The sidebar replaces Google’s contextual ads, so that’s a double win.

Even if you don't like my advice you should checkout Rapportive, it helps.
The biggest problem is that Disney is paying the lawmakers (in contributions) for these permanent rights, but not paying the people (the citizens) who grant them. This needs to be taxed. It's property they say? Property taxes.

This fixes almost everything about copyright terms.
This negative feedback you imagine is worse than you imagine and it has already happened.

The contractors the NSA use, i.e. Lockheed Martin are able to spy on others that may get work on NSA contracts, they can therefore put in a preferential bid to make sure that they get the work.

Now factor in how Lockheed Martin also do the census. They also do the nuclear weapons.

1984 wasn't really that imaginative, the Lockheed Martin script is far more out there.

>Most fans start making noise due to bearing failure / wobble, not the dust.

That exactly is the issue. They don't just mysteriously develop bearing failure / wobble...they do so because dust gets into the bearings. And that exactly is my point...no amount of compressed air can fix dust in the ball bearing grease. I just end up replacing all the fans after a few years...
In most cities I've lived, not really. I grew up in Florida and cities were not made accessible to those without cars.

Cape Coral, for instance, is just a huge, sprawling (mostly-vacant) city. You could probably manage to situate yourself with most of the things you need nearby, but you would still find the vast majority of the city inaccessible without a long ride.
I think strategy rather than innovation is saying "No" to things but if you don't have a strategy the or clarity for the product the innovation becomes a lot harder.

> Recognize that copyrights clash with basic property rights.

Like all property rights, copyright is a socially constructed privilege to exclude others from certain actions, and, like all property rights, every copyright interest limits everyone else's freedom, including the freedom to derive utility from their property.

This is a very real tradeoff with copyright, but it is exactly the same kind of tradeoff that exists with all property rights, not something special to copyright vs. other property rights.

That's crazy talk. Plenty of other controlled diets, for which there are decades or centuries of experience, would be better 'baselines' for experiments than novel, radical Soylent.

Actual controlled experiments in diet are not currently blocked waiting for "a non-medical meal replacement that at least theoretically trie[s] to be everything you need".

In 10 years "eating the Soylent" might have a colloquial meaning very close to "drinking the Kool-Aid".

Agile Data Science released
Some of us place more importance on catching bugs and keeping our product working than on proving our masculinity.

Also, in general there will be very little of the "upgrade to syntax and functionality that is outdated" - while a lot changes in a standard Python/Django release, I don't think there's much that changes in two backwards-incompatible ways in three releases. Most of it will be adapting to one change at a time, which may touch the same line of code more than once, but will not waste much effort and will give you a good idea of what mistake you make when you make it.

Replying to sejje.

Ok, so you sweat a lot =). That's alright, we're all different.

However, I'm a bit confused here - you're claiming you do cycle a lot - but you don't like cycling?

I have to agree with scarlson - most people who live less than say, 35 km (21 miles) could easily bike to work, if they wanted. With a reasonably level of fitness, you could do such a ride in under an hour.

Is it work - absolutely. But come on, you save money, you get to see the outdoors, and you get exercise.

Beyond 35 km, yeah, I'd probably think twice, if it was every day. However, I know of people who bike from Penrith to Sydney CBD here, a distance of around 56 km (35 miles) - each way.

And by appropriate clothing - I think he means bike clothes (i.e. lycra). Sure, you can't wear it around the office - but I just get changed in our bathrooms at work.

3) Seagate is doing something right. It doesn't guarantee that they'll win the next phase of the storage battle but they are doing something radically different which has a plausible marketing story appealing to a large base.
