Yeah, and you can go to all-you-can-eat meals and skip eating a day before and after to get the most out of it.

I agree that the business might seem risky in quite some ways, but .. exploits like yours are probably possible in a lot of places. I'm reasonably sure that I could go to a good number of hotels, check in for a number of days, have my breakfast/empty the minibar and leave. Going to a cafe and leaving without paying is usually trivial, only social norms stop you from doing that (or .. don't).

"by some asshole speeding in the shoulder as traffic was backed up."

fun driving and reckless endangerment of the people on the road around you, including aggressive disregard for the rules of the road, especially driving on the shoulder are two very, very, very different things.

Raise the speed limits and make fines and enforcement more frequent for not using turn signals, aggressive lane-changing where other people are on the road, tail-gating, driving in the shoulder (REALLY???) and so on.

Oh, and make that driving test harder.
No, the Apple example is excellent. I forget what the name of the blog is but there's an investor who investigates firms for fraud, shorts their stock, then publishes his finding. It's not illegal in the slightest and is a public service.

Now, you seem to think that there should be communication between a trading desk and Madoff's custodian. Any compliance officer would disagree. There is simply too much risk of front running the client's account to allow this (especially when the account is as large as Madoff's).
I'd say this is a strong reason why GPL is the most popular licence as it also benefits developers as they in turn become end users when someone distributes changes made to their code, which then means they have the right to recieve the source code of those modifications made to their code.

This is not a general solution however. Even the new and shiny Final Cut Pro X uses rasters throughout.

There's only three ways to support higher resolution displays:

1. Invest in better tools, like Core UI or PaintCode.

2. Exactly double the density and use @2x resources.

3. Switch to "Flat UI" design language.

For the system UI elements, Apple chose option one. For the 3rd party UI elements, Apple chose option two. For iOS, Apple eventually chose option three.
I would add the P6 architecture to that list, I feel that it was the redemption of many of the ideas in the i960 as well as its designer.

It was the one that finally lifted intel in peoples viewpoint. I think that a lot of people fail to realise just how much of intel's product lineup in the last 14 years can be traced to the P6 microarchitecture.
No, the ZTE is not at all similar to the Geeksphone Peak. It's even slower than the Keon -- it has half as much RAM as the Keon, and only 512 MB of internal storage (I think the Keon has 4 GB).
I have rather poor childhood memories - I remember only a very few scattered scenes before about age 13. But I know exactly what my earliest memory was, probably because it was such a significant occasion. I was 3 years old and I remember being in the house and watching my mom come home. She'd been gone for a day or so and when she came back she had this new baby with her (my brother). I specifically remember her walking into the house: I was behind the sofa peering up at her as she walked in the door, and she had the baby. I was mostly just glad to have my mom back.

Touching tale, here's where it gets interesting. I remember that, but later (over 30 years later) I discussed this with my parents. Turns out, I'd been left at a neighbor's house while my dad went to fetch her home. They got me afterward. I wasn't THERE to see her walk in.

I'm not trying to suggest that your memories are not real. But memory is a strange thing. They do not work like photographs or audio recordings; instead memories are laid down in nerve connections and are refreshed by running through them again. It's sort of like having VHS tapes that are brittle: you keep the data by copying them over and over again. Having a photograph to refer to helps to cement it; having a story that goes with it helps you to repeat and thus remember it, and this can happen regardless (as in my case) of whether there was an accurate original "memory".

So perhaps that is the source of your history professor's skepticism. Now, he is simply flat-out wrong to dismiss your claims out-of-hand. There is significant individual variation in early memories -- and there ARE some people who have memories from age 2 or 3. But the nature of memory itself is such that such having an early memory like that may not mean exactly what you think it means.

Like people said, that you have a non-disclosure agreement has nothing to do with the GPL. My point was that no matter what other things you do with the software, including using it for a commercial game, you can also release it as GPL.

Other gamedevs absolutely can use it. The only thing they can't do is include it in a shipping product. Light Table appears to be an IDE, and there is no problem using a GPL IDE for writing a commercial product any more than there is a problem compiling it with GCC.

The golden beach: A story of booze and beer
Huh. This is what I get for talking something up before I've had a chance to play with it for myself -- you're right, Sweet.js doesn't allow for arbitrary syntax definitions, just those of the form keyword arguments body, with macro-expansion only on body, and no way of capturing the symbol prior to keyword.

I can still see a potential method of rewriting functions, whose arguments were decorated with type specifiers, to provide type checking. But that would involve prefixing the function body with type checking code to be evaluated at runtime, which would probably produce a monstrous increase in execution time, and would be ugly either way.

Well. I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything different, knowing that a real macro system requires support at the language level, and that a retrofit like sweet.js is perforce going to be limited in what it can hope to accomplish. But I find myself disappointed nonetheless that sweet.js is what it is, rather than what I wanted it to be -- and, I think, what a lot of people, not least of whom the author of the linked article, imagine it to be.
Thanks for bringing this up. A couple of clarifications (I work on risk at Stripe):

1. This failure mode existed up until a few months ago, but has since been fixed. In order to avoid anyone wasting time, we have systems that alert us to potential ToS violations as soon as someone sets up their account. We review these alerts right away, and reach out to users well before they've started accepting payments.

2. We never cancel or refund transactions that have even a remote chance of being legitimate. For cases where we have to stop accepting payments for a website because of ToS issues, we're always happy to give users as much time as they need to transition off of Stripe if they've already started accepting payments through us.

If you're aware of recent cases where we haven't done this, I'd really appreciate knowing about them. You can reach me at anurag@stripe.com.

Thanks Patrick, I didn't mean to imply that you don't have legitimate reasons to freeze accounts when you do.

Coffee shops like Starbucks or Timothys are were not meant to be a work space . What bugs me is that coffee-shops used to play an important role in the community. Its where you went to dish the dirt, catch up with the neighborhood. It was like a bar for socializing without the alcohol . Now coffee shops are being overrun with laptop/tablet people working remotely seeking a work space. These people occupy spaces fo r long periods shutting out regular coffee-drinkers and without contributing any conversation or even a hello to the community.

Any development that lures these people away from my Starbucks is OK in my book.

Critique my 1st ecommerce store
I wrote an incredibly angry reply to you, but I've calmed down enough that I can try to explain my point without attacking you.

mrharrison stated that the root cause of much of our poor handling of homelessness comes from our poor handling of the disabled. To avoid going with anecdotes, I'll simply point out that 13% of the homeless population are veterans. Physical and mental disabilities are quite common and our society has decided to just dump these people on the streets as opposed to helping them.

However, then nickthemagicman comes along and makes the implication that stating that a homeless person is disabled is equivalent to stating that the person deserves to be homeless. That's the most offensive thing that I've ever seen on the Internet, and I've been to 4chan. Just because a person has a disability doesn't mean that they don't deserve basic human dignity.

Though I am descending into anecdote here, my wife was homeless when I met her. She also has a physical disability which cost her her job and her home. There was a wonderful government program to help her out of poverty by letting her haul 40lb bags of sand around, but it's not much use to a woman who walks with a cane and can't carry more than 20lb without needing a week of bed rest. If we were willing to talk about the root cause, then she'd be getting the treatment she needs to be healthy again and be happy to carry those 40lb bags. Unfortunately, the system was designed by bigots like nickthemagicman. When she applied for disability, she was told that they would only pay for her medical treatment if she agreed to never work again under punishment of jail time. After all, basic dignities like the joy of contributing to society aren't allowed for the disabled. Just the able bodied homeless, I guess.

Technically the C64 had a 6510 in it, though of course the 6510 was essentially just a 6502 plus an extra I/O port and you're right that they really should have mentioned it somewhere in the "variants" section of the 6502 writeup.

>BSD is restrictive. It protects certain freedoms at the expense of others.

It is objectively and unequivocally less restrictive than the GPL. All it restricts is your ability to claim it is your own code. The GPL adds several more restrictions. Thus it is more restrictive. Arguing that you think those restrictions serve a purpose does not mean you can claim they are not restrictions. Lame straw man crap like pretending anyone ever said the GPL wasn't "valid" doesn't belong in a reasoned conversation.

I am also curious about these things. It looks like you can take in ~$0.30 a day mining litecoin on a 'decent modern cpu' (meaning a high end i5). Some Xeon monstrosity gets you up towards $1.

The best GPUs are more like $10 a day.

There might be somewhat better scrypt coins, but I guess more and more people are watching this (so they will have roughly even mining activity). Bitcoin will be far less (because a few thousand dollars of ASICs is good for thousands of GPUs or tens/hundreds of thousands of CPUs).

>And, people just can't or won't believe me.

It seems to me that not believing you is the right thing to do. Childhood amnesia is well-studied; false memories are equally well-studied and are easily formed; since the former is more probable than an exception to the latter, unless you have additional evidence (which you can't really produce), I have no reason to believe your claims.

It's more probable that you reconstructed those memories from stories told by other people, even if you forgot hearing those stories before remembering the event, than that you're an exception to a well-studied and widely documented event.

Cognitive psychology is hardly psuedo-science, and in this instance, there were no polls conducted. This was a longitudinal study that took considerable resources to conduct and involved a seemingly well-designed experimental test. The findings are entirely in line with what the rest of the data in the field suggests, so it shouldn't be controversial. There were no polls involved, either.

It's frustrating to believe something that contradicts most available evidence, and it must be even more frustrating to not have a way to demonstrate the truth of such a belief. You'll notice that even this article doesn't claim that all memory prior to age 7 is irretrievably erased, and it's fully possible you truly have the memories you have -- but it's nonetheless improbable, and it isn't wrong to disbelieve you.
I didn't think rubygems relies on github. And rubygems seems to be working fine to me at present.

It is true that rubygems runs on AWS and is effected by AWS outages (like much of the internet, it seems like).

It's also true that individual application Gemfiles can choose to express dependencies to gems hosted in a git repo, such as github, instead of the rubygems repository. If you don't want to be dependent on github, then don't do that. Of course, you're dependent on the rubygems repo ordinarily still, which has gone down occasionally. But the rubygems repository is independent from github.
We did half C/C++ and half Mathematica in parallel. For the project you needed to build a prototype in Mathematica and then implement it fully in C++ using a cross platform gui toolkit (Glockenspiel - this was quite some time ago). It seemed to work - for a functional language Mathematica was also fairly practical.
Many theories are being thrown around, but the trend in the headline does not seem suspicious or surprising at all even though it's a country often associated with fraud. I grew up in Nigeria and personally know plenty of Nigerians who regularly travel back and forth between London and U.S. cities where Uber operates, plus it's the most populous country in Africa so if even a tiny fraction of the country is traveling abroad, that would be a large number of people and probably a large percentage of downloads in a category (Travel) which the rest of the population doesn't use as much.

If they really though there was fraud,

The issue at hand (and for which JPMorgan was fined) wasn't whether they definitively knew, or "thought" there was a fraud or not. It was for specific violations of the Bank Secrecy Act: failing to report suspicious activity, and failing to create specific controls against money laundering.

All of the recent press articles are really quite clear about this. You may not agree with the SEC's findings of JPM's culpability in these charges; you may not be even particularly fond of the Bank Secrecy Act, for that matter. But you might want to do a little bit of research into what JPM was, you know, actually prosecuted for before engaging in engaging in naked speculation about how what JPM may have "thought" about Madoff's activities based on the extent to which one particular unit may have been shorting his positions.

I like go because it's not object oriented. This forces me to read the implementation of the algorithm, not follow an abstraction hierarchy.

I like Java as well. It can be difficult to read the implementation when you are surrounded with classes. That was the point I was trying to make.

In what way is GPLv3 'especially very restrictive as to what it allows you to do'?

It added the tivoization clause which prevents companies from selling hardware to you with GPLv3 code and not allow you to run your own modified version of the code on said hardware.

Also if you distribute GPLv3 licenced code, you grant all recepients of that code a patent grant to any patents you hold within that code.

I find these to be perfectly valid additions of what the GPL licence is for: granting and preserving end user rights.
> "the fact that many organizations are less receptive to the GPL can result in larger potential contributing communities for permissively-licensed projects".

"Can" result, perhaps, but there seems to be little real word data behind that claim. I've heard this a few times, but I've never seen any numbers to back it up. As a counter example: The Linux kernel seems to be the most commercially backed OSS project of all. If what you say would be true, why would the major players not flock to the BSD:s instead?

> not particularly relevant, at least in a positive sense, for users.

What you say about the GPL is only true for projects where copyright is assigned away from the contributor. And a lot of developers as well as users tend to shy away from those for just the same reasons you state.
