>> If they ... read HN, I recommend the GPL.

What data do you have that suggests the HN audience prefers GPL over other FOSS licenses? I, for example, find the GPL overly complicated and prefer more straightforward licenses such as the MIT license.
I'm curious, why run 4 disks in RAID6 instead of RAID10? You loose two disks worth of capacity to RAID in either case, but with RAID6 there's also parity overhead, slower recovery, slower performance, especially in degraded mode?

Start me Up in London?
START ME UP<p>© by Cornelia Pauline<p>“All things start in California and spread to New Jersey, then to London and then throughout Europe.” Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the Greek founder of easyJet and easyGroup, said in December, 1996, during an interview he gave for the Wall Street Journal. globalization is defined as, “the close integration of countries and people of the world.” I feel like you don’t feel globalization as strongly in any other human sector than in the business world. Why do we see an increase in the start-up culture all over the world? The answer in my opinion is because of globalization. Throughout my ‘Technology Entrepreneurship in Korea’ seminar I took earlier this spring when I lived in South Korea, the speakers (one was Korean American and one from Britain who had studied at Cambridge) continuously emphasized the trend that they saw among Korean entrepreneurs, that they were trying to create a ‘Silicon Valley of the East.’ Now imagine my surprise when I read this article in The Economist Magazine called, ‘Start me up – London’s Tech city,’ in which it is written that, “Tech City looks like it is taking the right steps to becoming a self-sufficient ecosystem—a sort of Silicon Valley with an East End twang.” I call it the ‘Silicon-Valley Effect of Globalization’. However, even though the article takes a fairly positive outlook on London’s start up culture, I am doubtful as to whether these predictions really can come true.

One thing I learned during this seminar in Korea is that even though South Koreans are trying hard to create a similar Silicon Valley, they will never be able to duplicate it. Why? Because the culture and the way you do business in Korea is simply too different......(GO TO http://globalyuppiestyle.com/2013/11/12/start-me-up/ TO READ FULL ARTICLE!!)
This is absolutely great for Microsoft and its employees. Grade by curve creates internal friction that is harmful to the team. I am a manager in a large company. I always suggested to grade by performance against job level. There is written requirement for each job level, it is relatively easy to measure against the written description by both managers and peers. Everyone has incentive to get salary raise, bigger bonus, promotion. There is no need to use internal competition to add more pressure.

On the other hand, the lower 5% people only cost about 2% of companies spending. It is not even worth to worry about it. You need to interview equivalent to 50% of employee count to replace that 5%, plus whole set of HR bandwidth to handle it. Microsoft has been losing a lot of value to fire lower 5% while keep a lower 5% CEO at the top for so many years.

And here's the new list of countries guarding the execution of these rules (yeah, not technically, I know) :
http://www.jpost.com/International/China-Cuba-Russia-and-Sau...

What do these rules matter ?

Can we please not pretend to miss the obvious truth ? Here's the choices we've already made :
What is more important ? "respecting" religion or human rights [1]. Choice made : "respecting" religion (read: letting muslims execute ex-muslims, gays and ...)
What is more important ? Peace with China or human rights (See Tibet, XinJang and ...) ? Choice made : peace/trade with China.
What is more important ? Communism(/socialism) or human rights ? (because in the case of Cuba and Venezuela they're opposing forces) Choice made : communism is more important.
What is more important ? Human rights or the Trade with Indonesia (muslim state, executes gays, has plans to execute ex-muslims, ...) ? Trade with Indonesia

Human rights are dead letter. Why ? Because we've chosen against them. The same goes for this principle.

OK, so it was a mix of sarcastic and serious. Good to know.

Sure, there may be some people in specialized circumstances that have problems with normal food, though there are a lot of options already (smoothies, existing meal replacements like Ensure, possibly even bodybuilding focused meal replacements as they tend to focus on being high-calorie, soups, etc). And yeah, Soylent does seem like the ultimate first-world-problem food.

Anyhow, good luck with trying to get more calories in your diet, and if Soylent helps you with that, all the better!
It shouldn't come as a surprise that you're not "offline" unless you take the battery out of your phone and wait a good minute or so. And there's no wireless power source "force feeding" your phone...

This is well known to anyone who's done DSP optimization work for any of the wireless carriers.
OTOH, when a site wraps ads around lyrics, why should all of the ad revenue go to the site and none to the songwriter? Effectively the lyrics are being "sold" in exchange for the user's attention.
Agree. Silly and not a huge deal. Beyond that, buying the rights wouldn't be expensive.

"obtaining a blanket license to “re-publish” lyrics online from someone like musiXmatch starts around $20k/year."

Doesn't sound too bad for a company that raised 17M.

Beyond that RG still has a ton of room to expand into other areas.
I absolutely understand your concern, and I'll be more cautious in the future. I tend to write with a very casual, informal tone, and data safety is not something to be overly breezy about.

More broadly, as someone who helps write our documentation, it's very difficult to figure out how to present enough detail about the proper ways to use Riak without forcing everyone to become an expert on distributed systems. Unfortunately there are incredibly subtle tradeoffs inherently involved in running a distributed database.
I realise that, but it doesn't sound like the CyanogenMod installer is using Android rootkits or anything like that so wouldn't it be better to test it against a few AVs?

I think they mean that they're the first to retire the cipher suits, not the first who implemented TLS1.2.

Quote from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Dealin...

Chrome 30 and Opera 17 support TLS 1.1 and 1.2 enabled by default. Firefox 25 and 24
ESR, and Internet Explorer 6-10 have support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 but disabled by default
(Firefox 28 Nightly and IE 11 supports TLS 1.1 and 1.2 enabled by default).
Safari 6 for Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.7, and Safari 5 for Windows and support only

The point is that exactly the life-threatening/prolonging tasks are the hugely expensive 'unlimited' things that we can't afford for everyone.

We can easily afford to heal collar bones, cataracts, flu, hernias, and a whole bunch of nonlethal issues for everyone regardless of ability to pay - wherever there are common, simple procedures that are done once to cure the problem permanently.

We can't afford to do top of line cancer or heart treatments to everyone all the time - because often a successful treatment will simply mean that you'll need another, more complex treatment in a year or five; and again, and again, until you have a society where 100% of people work in medicine.
Why wouldn't they just buy the license? 20k/yr for a blanket license sounds incredibly cheap...what am I missing?

Good article. I think it might have been helped to introduce the "real" terminology, like "Monads", at some point. To help the reader refer to terminology they'll see in other articles.
This is an interesting case. A new programming language is a frail thing, and can only grow and prosper if it finds an unoccupied niche. Japan was the perfect environment for Ruby to develop until it was ready to take on the world.

It's as if mammals evolved on an island without any dinosaurs, and then swam over to the mainland.
My complaint with your assertion is this one.

> And the left says: "Health care is a human right." And they're right.

Probably they are, but what people don't pay enough attention to, IMO, is that there are different kinds of human rights. There are positive rights, and negative rights. The left wants for human rights to be considered positive rights, in that the state (or others) are obligated to provide them for you. The libertarians want more rights to be considered negative rights, which is to say that that state should be disallowed from intervening in your pursuit of them.

The Constitution establishes that the right to keep and bear arms is a human right, but nobody on the left (and probably nobody on the right) would suggest that the state is now obligated to provide firearms to those who want them. Similarly enumerated is the fourth amendment right to privacy, but nobody on either side seems to be jumping to ensure that the state provides that for us.

Why then is healthcare the exemption? Why is it the right that the state must provide to us?

I don't know if we should or shouldn't have it, or what systems are workable, and what systems aren't, so ignoring all other political arguments that apply here, I only take issue with the idea that even if it as a human right, that should obligate somebody to ensure that we have it, especially as it's only a small leap away from getting everybody to agree that the internet is a human right, access to a computer is a human right, etc., etc. And it's not so far-fetched, as there are already those suggesting it.

For what it's worth, I don't disagree with the premise that it is.

Your comment was salient though, and thoughtful, and definitely got my upvote.
In regards to psychology, read Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow. Kahneman describes fast thinking as the instantaneous, subconscious judgements we make, while slow thinking is the conscious, articulated thoughts we have. Kahneman shows how there is a huge disconnect between these two systems, and how this influences our behavior.

Another excellent book is Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. It looks at how people are convinced into doing things (e.g. the effectiveness of various methods of advertising), and how you can guard yourself against these psychological mechanisms. The title sounds cheesy, but it is an excellent book full of concrete, interesting examples.

I'd highly recommend both books. While they may sound sort of salesy, both books deeply examine the process of making a decision.

If the cost really is only $20k, I find it hard to believe that RG finds this small price to be unreasonable...
Considering the fact that numerous artists on Rap Genius comment and participate on their and other's lyrics, I would imagine that the artists certainly see a benefit. (http://rapgenius.com/verified-artists)

What the rating agencies did is worse than you describe: They averted their gaze as toxic waste was passed off as investment grade. One would think the rating agencies would have been forced into some kind of receivership and reconstituted under management and ownership that would not let that happen.

The fact that didn't happen sure does invite speculation that they cut some deals. Maybe let themselves be used as "weaponized" finance to punish governments the US government does not like. If such ratings were objective, operating under QE would look very crisis-like, n'est-ce pas?

My experience is that wishy washy managers make everyone top rated, therefore nobody is really top rated.
Either I've missed massive parts of Symfony or we're not talking about remotely the same thing. Look at the Drupal screenshot in the article. It'd a full on widget, with add/remove controls, multiple upload, drag-to-reorder, etc. all with a couple clicks.

I've used a wide variety of PHP frameworks and none of them do that sort of stuff with a line of YAML. Comparing the default node form of Drupal to a completely custom UI built in a framework is absurd.
FFS, does that guy ever sleep?
Yes it does! That is the code that creates the entire poster - including the code at the bottom, the title, the author, the year, and the cc-attribution-nocommercial graphic.
The US government has only one proper purpose, and it is to protect Americans from physical force.

I think that if a country harbors terrorists, the US should depose the government, and withdraw. The US should threated to come back and do it again, repeating as necessary, until the government stops harboring terrorists.

In fact, that it the only way to stop terrorism. And it would be incredibly effective, since the US would only have to do it once or twice in the whole world (or maybe even 0 times), to prove that they will do it.

I don't believe in the use of initiated force. But a government that harbors terrorists is initiating force against the US, and it's morally proper for the US to use retaliatory force to resolve the problem.

Force will be met with force. Don't use force, and you won't be subject to it.

In the 1 case in the world of a failed state---Somalia---I think a reasonable strategy would be to pick a winner and provide them with funding and weapons to establish a government over the territory.
Long story. Short version: health issues, business deadlines (many slipped), and travel ate up last two months or so.
Yes, this is a complex subject. I like to cite the Venus Project in these cases, but while it provides a seemingly simple solution, reaching such a situation will be very complicated both for ideologies to fight, interests to overcome, knowledge to be gained, etc.

A citizen revenue seems to be the easiest first step in this direction. You could think of it as a generalized kickstarter project, without the potential drawbacks of kickstarter.
Ummmm, sure. Are you always this aggressive of an ass?

I imagine RG considers it unreasonable because they consider what they are doing to be fair use. As such, any amount above $0 could be considered unreasonable.
That is true under a maximalist interpretation of copyright. On the other hand, what is really being sold here is the transcription and search-ability of the lyrics (and in RapGenius's specific case the community-contributed critical analysis of the lyrics).

Since the near total majority of people who will be reading the lyrics already posses a copy in audio form it seems unfair, in anything other than a maximalist context, to pay for them twice.
I think Cyanogenmod can be considered dangerous to your device. And to be honest, I actually do think AVs should flag it. It's a good barrier to entry.

A user that doesn't trust the developers of Cyanogenmod enough to turn of AV(or add to AV-ignore-list) during install, is a user that shouldn't be using Cyanogenmod to begin with imho.
Back when I used android, I would have loved this. Sense was total garbage, and cyanogenmod setup wasn't the most streamlined process.
For the benefit of those who have not read the 1995 article all the way through to the end:

"As I thumbed rapidly through box after box to confirm that the entries described in the Finder's Aid were actually there, I tried to glance at only the faces. It was a decision that paid off, because it was in them that a crucial difference between the men and the women revealed itself. For the most part, the men looked diffident, oblivious. That's not surprising considering that men of that era were accustomed to undressing for draft physicals and athletic-squad weigh-ins.

"But the faces of the women were another story. I was surprised at how many looked deeply unhappy, as if pained at being subjected to this procedure. On the faces of quite a few I saw what looked like grimaces, reflecting pronounced discomfort, perhaps even anger."
I guess I should have said it would be trivial to make it tastier for my own non-demanding taste buds. I could just add a few drops of stevia and I'd be good to go, but I see how it could be a challenge to make something that pleases most people.

"Fatty" is not a synonym for unhealthy by the way. A lot of people consider high fat/low carb diets to be healthier than the reverse.
>So while governments do have some legitimacy and do a lot of good, the basic structures (consent, monopoly on coercion, and propaganda) are ripe for abuse and (I'd argue) transition into covert/improper use of force as they stabilize and their purpose becomes widely viewed as oriented toward peacetime activities.

I agree with you. But I also feel that cynicism, while justifiable and oftentimes necessary, can itself be a blinder to the degree to which the faults of government can tend to take root in any power structure of any significance. Government can fall prey to abuse, and often does, but this doesn't necessarily mean that a lack of government in and of itself will limit abuse where any one group of people has any power over another. If government isn't a legitimate purveyor of lethal force or significant social planning then who or what is?

Ninja Sphere: Next Generation Control of Your Environment
There is an entire category of foods meant to be eaten as 'meal replacements', sold in grocery stores etc. Google it. Soylent is perhaps the best of the lot; its tailorable to your activity level etc. And yes you can eat Soylent for an extended time and feel better than if you ate McD's all the time, which millions of people do and yes, they live to tell about it.

The criticism is overheated and silly. Eat what you like, everybody else does. Lets cut out the unsolicited advice and scare tactics, it sounds silly and timid.

Consider '||' as a normal function. Consider ||(f(x),g(x)). If this were strictly evaluated, we would compute f(x) and g(x), then pass them as arguments to ||. Instead, we compute f(x) pass it to ||, and compute g(x) only if it is needed. This is lazy evaluation.
> Self-sacrifice? These wars were strategic failures, in spite of the US' best efforts, simply because you can't defeat guerillas the same way you defeat regular armies.

These wars were self-sacrificial because they had no valuable objective for the American people (i.e., to secure their safety). Trying to "democratize" them is a futile act, and is not worth spending trillions of dollars on, and killing thousands of American soldiers.

> Your argument was that in order to defend "freedom" (because, really, these money-laundering rules are just too repressive), the US should attack the issue at the root. Guess what? Most of the money being laundered is drug money. It's an absolutely astounding amount of cash. Most of the world's cocaine comes from Colombia and Bolivia, while the opiates come from Afghanistan.

Right, and the "war on drugs" is also self-sacrificial, because, again, it has no value for the American people. Again, it is a war that can't be won, that simply calls for sacrificing unlimited amounts of money and some lives, and turns northern Mexico into a war zone as part of a perverse side-effect.

So I'm saying: Let these countries produce as much coke and opium as they want; we will be happy to import them freely.
Lets suppose that i take a step in a random direction each time. And if is some moment i end in a city, I say that the path was predestined from the beginning to end in that particular city. It could ended in another city (and the same conclusion, with that different city, would had been reached) or never end in any city (and noone will ask that question). But the path taken was random, is the observer the one that put the meaning on it at the end of the path.

I'm not sure why everybody is assuming I toss all of these reviews. They are not useless even when biased.

Not only that, but RG has also gotten a ton of positive feedback from artists.

The question is this: Do the founders wish to be provocative and make a point about the music industry, or do they want to avoid friction? After watching a few interviews with the founding team, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the former.

There is no way that any specific licensing source, or even handful of licensing sources, is comprehensive.

If you accept that this use does not qualify as fair use then in good conscience you can only display the lyrics for which you have purchased a license. That cripples the coverage you can provide by making it too resource-intensive to seek out a licensing agreement for the lyrics of more obscure songs.
Instead of removing the battery, you could wrap the phone in foil.
