Please stop spreading FUD. Misleading advices like yours do nothing to help people understand the legal climate of copyright and patents, and thus only spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.

The license choice of this program do absolutely nothing to the fact that infringing patent rights run the risk of forcing a company to stop distributing a product. BSD, GPL, MIT, Apache, proprietary license, public domain. It. Does. Not. Matter. Copyright law and patent law are two different area of law.

That someone might come and impose condition on the distributor for "other reasons", is quite irrelevant. Of course someone might go to Microsoft and use a rubber hose to impose condition on then, but what the ... does that has to do with copyright licenses? Someone can equally easy impose restriction that prevent a company to comply with the BSD license.

Patent agreements are also not even covered by the GPLv2. This has been said by the lawyers who made the license. If you do not trust that, then trust all the lawyers who argued with Stallman to not include such provisions in the GPLv3 draft, which include many of the largest software companies in the world. So again, I call FUD on such claims. If your claim was true, GPLv3 would not be said to had adding it.

Last, companies such as blizzard included LGPLv2 software in their flagship product called Starcraft 2. If companies would go for such great lengths to avoid using GPL licenses (the LGPLv2 code itself is under same requirement as GPLv2 except for the linking exception), then how come they couldn't spend the few extra weeks to replace a small library? Or should we all expect that blizzards lawyers are incompetent and this flagship product was just extremely lucky to not been sent to the grave? again, I call FUD.

So Please, stop with the FUD. Why ruin more comment threads about interesting software with it? Some people come here to discuss technology.
He certainly deserves it more than Obama (let's not mention Kissinger).

2014 - Snowden

That would certainly be something ;)
Just adding to this, I really enjoyed the book (even though I'm not into mountaineering).
What is the point of life? Before you declare others selfish, maybe start at your own front door.
It does not disappear into thin air, in the same way the rubber from a burst balloon can still be used to tie your hair back (but not as severe, and the recovery rate might be as high as 60%, but I would suspect very, very much lower in the case of a fire-sale of GM's assets)
I really hate being this cynical, but I dare say they were simply ahead of the curve. The over-under on google doing this themselves? Two years?
No point working all the time to accumulate all you can only to die early from a heart attack.

Working for someone else means you can go home and not think about work until tomorrow. And you can read a book and develop hobbies, learn to play an instrument, tend a garden and look after a pet.

I do not envy you. I have had to work very hard in the evenings to get out of sticky situations, and despite the romantic view of working for yourself, I like to go home and forget the day.

Take some time off.
According to the blog post:

Queríamos começar com uma comunidade que atendesse a dois requisitos:

1) Um grande número de desenvolvedores talentosos, em que
2) Grande parte deles se sentisse muito mais confortável em falar sua própria língua do que o inglês

Which roughly translates to:
We wanted to start with a community that fulfilled two criteria:
1) A large number of talented developers in which,
2) A large part of them would be much more comfortable speaking their own language instead of english.

Then they have a map with visitors per month from Portuguese speaking countries:

Hey everyone,

We've been working hard on getting our free prototyping tool out of beta and thought it might be a good time to share it with community.

Marvel is a really simple rapid prototyping tool that allows anyone to create interactive clickable/tapable prototypes from images on Dropbox.

Because everything is synced off Dropbox, any change you make to the image is synced and prototypes update automatically.

It's free to use and hopefully it will become a really useful tool for designers, developers, startups, students and anyone else who wants to bring their mobile and web ideas to life.

Would appreciate any feedback!
I have no idea what you are talking about.

I am certainly not aristocracy. The US government stepped in with temporary funding to stop GM going under. I stepped in later to replace that funding by buying some high risk equity (about enough to buy a used car-tyre). So did lots of other people. Luckily, I made a return for this investment (others, not so much).
An example of a practical modern 8-bit assembly language to learn would be for Atmel AVR microcontrollers. It's small enough to get your head around, and useful for DIY hardware projects.
If you have the option writing it to look for instances of US blocking that only incidentally finds local censorship may give you some ass-coverage.
Sounds like you went to some exotic places and tried some interesting things though. Likely a worthwhile experience!

I would like to visit the Caribbean. Even America would be good! Must save up...
a) You are amazing and inspirational. Congratulations!

b) As a person struggling with procrastination, and goal setting/choosing, I would like to ask you some qs about the 1 site / day for 180 days, thing. It seems to me as an interesting "reach your goal, without setting hard (sub)goals in between"(?)

If I understand correctly, you set out to code one site per day, without specifying beforehand what you would do each day? Every day you said, "ok, today I'll do this"? Was it difficult to choose between possibilities, and how did you address that? Where there end conditions for the day's goal? Or you just went as far as you could? How did you manage to stay focused on the day's project, without branching off to various tangents? Were some days under- or overwhelming, in their difficulty?

..Sorry for the wall of text, but any experience/advice/insight, would be greatly appreciated. ..Congratulations, once more.
"Don't rely on just 1 platform as much as possible"

Look at Zynga => they relied on FB

Look at Angry Birds (initially) => they relied on Apple

Look at Moz => they relied on Google (scraping rankings)

Look at Xobni => they relied on Microsoft

Look at Rapportive => they relied on Google/Gmail

Look at TweetDeck (before acquisition) => they relied on Twitter

It's not black and white. Sometimes you just get unlucky. Sometimes you get lucky.
Good idea on rationalising it in your mind. Good idea.
It's not a male/female split. It's an open-to-all/open-to-just-women split.

It might look like there are separate male and female things unless you look closely, because not many women play. It's easy to miss them. For instance, on the top 100 list, there is only one woman, Judit Polgár, down around #50. She has been as high as #8.

I believe that the usual argument for women-only tournaments is the same as the argument for women-only hackathons or women-only coding boot camps. Like programming, chess is a de facto male activity, and so women can feel uncomfortable participating. A woman-only tournament gives them a chance to play without hang to deal with being part of a tiny minority.
Brazilian developers don't google in portuguese because they know it'll always be faster to search in english, but I have seen a lot of developers struggling to find the answer in english because they can't understand and don't know how to search.

Many of the people who died were using that technology.

Even with lots of aids, it's still hard enough just to climb the mountain yourself. Carrying a body down with you vastly increases the difficulty.

There's a substantial chance that anyone who goes up to remove a body will instead become a new body needing removal.
What you can do to minimize the risk of patent issues is to only distribute the software where software patents are not granted. EU for example is to my knowledge somewhat safe, through not completely.

I am trying to understand what you are saying.

I understand that you have not said that the situation the OP faced is deserved, but you don't feel too bad about it.

Unfortunately your defense does make it seem that you are not completely opposed to a framework that would take back "limited resources" not being used well. Most likely this is not your intention at all.

I often come across businesses/store locations and most importantly domain names that are not using even a small fraction of true potential. I do feel sorry for them, but I can't say I dislike them, they might dislike themselves if they knew what I knew.

The only way I can fathom the minutest possibility of disliking them is if they knew how to thrive and did not do anything, if it was common knowledge on how to do it right, but they chose not too.

Unfortunately most people don't know how to use potential or don't recognize it at all, can't dislike them for trying though.
As an intermediate step, you could also study LLVM bitcode. It should give you a good idea of what assembly languages "feel" like without tying you to a particular architecture. It is easy enough to write smallish programs in the ASCII format and assemble them with llvm-as.
Looks _really_ great: one of the prettiest dashboards I've seen, combining logs & metrics. However, it would be a lot more interesting if it was open source; because then it would get forked and applied for monitoring other systems. It would also demonstrate that ElasticSearch is a good solution for storing monitoring data, and the potential audience for ES would be much greater.

As it stands, it looks like another company trying to monetize open-source by selling a pretty dashboard, because that is what "enterprise" cares about. That to me feels very short-term.
This.

If your spouse / partner _doesn't_ want to have these conversations, you have larger problems. One signpost that my marriage was doomed was my wife's shock at the possibility the business might fail, and her refusal to discuss the possibility.
Yep, they should take it back from Obama and give it to Snowden.

BITCOIN: A PRIMER FOR POLICYMAKERS
Definitely. While it's not a perfect solution, it provides an extra layer of protection for your accounts by making an extra hurdle for any attacker to clear. Needing two components to access/change your accounts is elegant and effective.

Pay-as-you-go phones are advisable to use for two factor verification, as they are affordable and could be used only for this purpose. Don't hand out the number and you've got a nice disposable tool for protecting your accounts.

Por que começar com português?
Queríamos começar com uma comunidade que atendesse a dois requisitos:

Why start with portugese?

We wanted to begin with a community that fulfilled two requisites:

Having a large number of talented developers and many of them feeling much more comfortable speaking their own language than English.

It seems to me this is a move to catch Brazilian developers, a wise move I'd say.
I've been having my business for 10 years - which almost died twice.

The business is not about you. Yes you are the founder but you are just part of the machination to make it work.

When the business fails, it's not a judgement on your character or your moral. Failure sucks. Tell the truth your employees ASAP. Deal with the fall out directly.

If you need to downgrade your lifestyle, do it. It is better than having the anxiety to put up with un-affordable lifestyle.

More importantly - don't be an ass to your wife. If you need to get a job, get a job. There's plenty of time to try again in the future.
Bear in mind the conditions around said body. It's not a nice place. It's hazardous enough that this particular mountaineer, with presumably a lot of skill and a long history of successful mountaineering, actually died just by trying to walk beyond that point.

Now imagine that your rescuer, having successfully bettered Mr. Body's achievement by getting to his high point alive, now has to perform the strenuous physical labor of digging Mr. B. out of the solid packed ice, picking up his 200 pound corpse, and carrying it the entire way back down to base camp.

What odds would you give our rescuer of surviving that task? 100%? Perhaps somewhat less than 100%? Less than 50%, much of which depends on factors outside anybody's control?

Would you volunteer for that job?

Weird there's no number for Russia on the map. I thought SO scores a lot of Russian visitors (many of whom satisfy those two criteria).
There is lot of 'garbage' on every high profile mountain, in Alps there is often poop right on trail.

I personally prefer climbing without gear on less known places. 1 mile high in one day from sea level is enough exercise.

Micro-payments were not enabled by the cryptocurrency itself. They were enabled by the bitcointip bot (or doge or whatever), since they are off the blockchain, so nothing special was needed for this, just your usual centralized system. And if a Bitcoin clone enables microtransactions, it's because it's not big enough and doesn't need to worry about dust/spam transactions yet.

As usual, dogecoiners don't understand the first thing about their own currency. They think "more coinz is better because microtransactions". I can't believe so many people have trouble grasping the concept of decimals.
But is it really as simple as that?

The UK's position (AIUI) was that membership of the European Economic Area means that Iceland can not treat its own citizens' savings differently than those of other EEA member states' citizens. Hence the whole squabbling about repayment and such, which is still ongoing.

Did you read the article? They give a lot of reason about the difficulty of navigating/surviving the death zone.
I enjoyed Jeff Duntemann's "Assembly Language Step-by-Step".
I see there is a 3rd edition. Nice writing style and overall fun read.
I'd be interested to know if this means I should start searching both sites when looking for answers (or how that issue is going to be solved). Should I have accounts on both so I can upvote answers? My Spanish certainly doesn't qualify me to answer questions in Portuguese; Reading, however, is a better prospect.

It seems interesting that this is so separated from the main Q&A database of questions when so much of the information is easily accessible with tools like Google Translate and knowledge of similar languages (Spanish, for example).
Apple designed it as a replacement for languages like C++, now Objective-C, Java, C#. Stuff like Apple Keynote, Apple Pages, Apple's Xcode, Apple Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and the Apps on mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad would have been written in Dylan. Applications which Apple now writes in Objective-C. Apple already had an Operating System for an ARM-based computer written in an early version of Dylan (with some help of a C++ based kernel). It also tried to develop some Mac-based prototype applications: an interface builder and I think there was a 'Finder' written in Dylan.
> [...] other people's patents can force you to do a lot of things against your will. Even if a more permissive BSD or MIT license were used, you could still be prevented from distributing due to patent rulings.

That is true. But in that case it is not the license that prevents me from distributing and I can negotiate with the patent holders, pay royalties and have the problem resolved.

The anti-patent clause in the GPLv2 prevents that: even if I get all the patent licensing in place, I cannot distribute the software if I cannot pass the same rights onto others. That is the whole point of it: as I understand it, it is a tool to fight the freedom battle.

> In any case, many popular open-source encoders are also under either GPLv2 or LGPLv2.1. Examples include libx264, libmp3lame, libfdk_aac, libfaac. The license hasn't prevented them being very useful to many people

That is also true. I'm just providing a different point of view, one which you might not have heard about: many commercial products cannot include those libraries because of the legal risk.

I will not respond to people that shout "FUD" without any arguments. What I wrote was not a rant, and was based on my experience in several companies, each of which got legal advice about this. So, if you believe I'm wrong, please imagine for a moment that I'm building tablets (hence, "distributing" software), I have licensed all the relevant patents (thus, I pay royalties) and describe how you think Section 7 of the GPLv2 permits me to distribute software that requires payment of royalties.

EDIT: after reading all the (unnecessarily heated) responses, I think I will have to draw some diagrams. People seem to misunderstand the problem. Again: with many other licenses I can license the patents, and the patent license will cover all my (and my users') usage. With GPLv2 this is not possible, because Section 7 requires that no restrictions be placed on anyone.

In other words: yes, it is true that patents are problem for all licenses. No, it is not true that GPLv2 is equivalent to BSD/MIT/other licenses in this regard.

Thought Experiment:

Imagine a large cohort of reasonable, well intentioned, creative, knowledgeable and empowered people came together and asked each other this question:

How can we as Homo sapiens, organize society, design and deploy systems, create technologies that allow us to live and pursue the lives that we want on a day to day basis.

More urgently, how can we as well save ourselves from eventual but certain destruction, in the event that we are too complacent to venture outside planet earth, remaining fragile to cosmological scale events that other evolved animals couldn't survive?

--

Run a 1000 simulations in 2014 January, include whoever you think is smarter than you or Obama - say Gates, Page, Musk, Zuckerberg, Jobs - Snowden, Theil, Kurzweil, Hawking, Dawkins or anyone who you think is competent.

Solution: First - Invent the Nation State. Create ~200 Nations of random sizes, resources, people, but create a bureaucratic institution that nobody takes seriously called the UN. All nations will be treated equally. Then create armies, spend billions on mutually assured destruction. Create a fake crime called 'sedition', create concepts of espionage. Use the nation state to justify everything, like a modern religion. Inspire democides and dictatorships. Prevent access and create isolation. Prevent Spotify from running anywhere, make ibooks store in most countrues have only titles without book covers from the victorian era 'because they are in public domain'. Have people blocked or restricted access to BBC because they are not in britain so they can't appreciate a neuroscience documentary. Create visas and passports and foreign embassies and diplomatic immunities. Restrict movement on land air water and radio waves or optic fibres. Have people do paperwork to see Niagra falls or prove their nationality before they are allowed to apply for a ONLINEprogram...

Then finally restrict and kill access to knowledge, with NO paywalls.

Can someone please tell me if they think this solution would show up?

Common, we have to recognize that the best invention since the wheel was not a stupid technology like the nation-state. Even if it was, this is ample proof that we've lived with it to a point where it's maladaptive. I hope we can see the writing on the wall and convince ourselves that we need to dissolve and bury this human invention, like most religions.

Our survival is literally at hand.

He's trying to re-invent the MUSH without knowing what a MUSH is or the early experiments with MUSHes linked to the web and such.

From my experience with MUSHes in the mid-early 90s the biggest problem is the general public is not terribly creative. A general cultural desire for drama and formulaic entertainment. Look at how big the Second Life world was, but how the population density was about 75% clustered around the spawn point talking, regardless of the world being nearly limitless in size.
I can't imagine ever searching for a solution to a problem in Portuguese. I never google in Portuguese, ever. Content quality is just abismal.
I agree, for conflicts to escalate wars to be had there needs to be a clear division into "us" and "them". Due to educational efforts like these people are on the same page, their mobility increases, I would even venture that it makes it more probable for people to seek economic connections with the outside world too. It's like France and Germany -- you can keep the us/them divide and have a war every few decades or you can tie their future together (Coal and Steel, EEC, EU) and they will have too much to lose not to be nice to one another.
